<h3>Chronological list of interventions</h3>
<p>with the purpose of effecting “regime change,”
attempted or materially supported by the United States—whether
primarily by means of overt force (OF), covert operation (CO), or
subverted election (SE):<br><br>a) OF and SE imply, necessarily,
prior and continuing CO.<br><br>b) OF = directly applied state
terrorism by the United States repressive apparatus i.e. the
Departments of War/Defense, Energy,<br>Treasury, and State. N.B. the
formation of the National Security Council (1947) and the Office of
Homeland Security (2002).<br><br>c) CO = reconnaissance, classical
coups d’etat, legal harassment, disinformation (through media,
legal, NGO, student, labor, and other front groups), bribery,
sabotage, assassination, proxy warfare, running ratlines for fascist
émigré groups, and assorted other clandestine
activities.<br><br>d) SE = a particular species of CO, comparatively
non-violent, high plausible deniability, usually involves dumping
tons of cash and campaign technologies into the hands of rightist
groups during elections, sowing discord in leftist parties, buying up
media space in order to destabilize electorates, tampering directly
with ballot results, and hiring jackboots to actively threaten and
brutalize voters in the last resort. NB many subverted elections are
preceded by lengthy terror campaigns (e.g. Nicaragua, <br>El
Salvador, Yugoslavia, etc).<br><br><br>It should go without saying
that the following entries are simplified; only the major “payoff”
year is listed, where applicable. <br>Most attempted overthrows were
preceded by lengthy preparations—vast right wing conspiracies,
indeed. <br>NB that this list remains under construction; new data
will be added in the next installment.<br><br><br><b>[Date –
place (head of targeted state/candidate in subverted election;
political affiliation): outcome (means)]</b><br><br>The * indicates
that I’m not clever enough to have found the absent data yet.
Apologies.<br><br>“Neutralist” refers to a given regime’s
desire to avoid taking sides with either power bloc in the cold war.
It should be readily<br>apparent that such is an unforgivable sin
against the foreign policy establishment in the United States.
<br><br>“Nationalist” refers to a given regime’s
desire to nationalize foreign-owned means of production within its
national boundaries. <br>It should be readily apparent that such is
an unforgivable sin against the foreign policy establishment in the
United States.<details><br><br>1893 – Hawaii (Liliuokalani; monarchist):

<h3>Chronological list of states held in the manacles of
debt-leverage imperialism</h3>
<p>:N.B. these states are held in the thralldom of “odious
debt” imposed upon them by (typically) quasi-fascistic regimes
who 1) often enough were empowered via United States state terrorism
and 2) accepted the terms of United States dominated Bretton Woods
restructuring programs.<br><br>Many countries found themselves in
dire monetary and fiscal straits in the early 1980s—after the
Nixon shocks, the various oil embargoes, and the Volcker interest
rate hikes. At this time of the debt crisis, the IMF and World Bank
became “lenders of last resort” for regimes unable to
meet balance of payments obligations to imperialist-controlled
banks—but such lending comes<br>with a cost: dismantle any and
all policies that don’t adhere to the mystical mantras of
neoliberalism (ie such policies as protectionism, capital regulation,
state industry, wage control, labor and environmental regulation,
resistance to currency devaluation, autochthonous/non-export
production, etc had to go); such is the nature of the structural
adjustment program (SAP). <br><br>Note further that these policies
were the Reaganites’ answer to the “Crisis of Democracy”
(as defined by the geniuses in the Trilateral Commission) that was
occurring on a global scale and to the relative loss of US
geopolitical power in the late 1970s.<br><br>In order to disrupt the
G-77, UNCTAD, and other international movements modeled on the
success of OPEC, the debt crisis and its neoliberal response were
engineered for the sake of ushering in a new world order of managed
friggin’ chaos. <br><br>It is good to recall that a number of
countries that have refused SAP have been attacked (e.g., Serbia)
and/or destabilized (e.g., Belarus). It is also prudent to realize
that many an “ethnic,” “religious,” or
otherwise vaguely described “civil” war has been caused
directly by SAP (e.g., Somalia, Yugoslavia).<br><br>Moreover note
that the meaning of “debt crisis” is that subjugated
nations that were unable to meet balance of payments obligations to
imperialist-controlled banks threatened the survival of such banks,
and thus this privately held debt was transferred to public
institutions, thereby socializing risk while insuring the sanctity of
corporate profit. (I.e., “crisis” does not here refer to
those horrors being inflicted on subjugated peoples.)<br><br><br><b>[Year

<h3>Chronological list of US murder toll</h3>

either direct violence (e.g. the firebombing and nuking of Japan or
the firebombing of Dresden) or indirect/proxy “low intensity

3M<br><br><br>We should also take note that the United States bears
more than superficial responsibility for the Nazi Holocaust: e.g.,
the turning away of Jewish, Romani, and other refugees; funding the
concentration camp system; underwriting the Third Reich’s
military; delay in opening a western front; policies of appeasement
before the war; siding with the fascists during the Spanish Civil
War; turning down Stalin’s offer to attack Germany jointly in
1938; providing theoretical inspiration for lebensraum, final
solutions, anti-communism, anti-Semitism, etc; rebuilding Germany
after the war with the fascist infrastructure still intact; saving
war criminals; general ideological support; and so forth.<br><br><br><br>

<h3>“Low intensity wars” conducted by the United States</h3>
<p>and its proxies... <br>(“medium intensity warfare” =
direct and usually acknowledged involvement of US military apparatus;
“high intensity warfare” = <i>Dr. Strangelove</i> stuff:
“nuclear combat toe-to-toe with the Russkies,” &c).
<br><br>The primary goal of low intensity conflict is to use proxies,
intelligence, and special forces to destabilize a region and its
official government. The purpose of destabilization is to achieve 1)
access to resources amidst the chaos, 2) delegitimation of an “enemy”
political/economic system, 3) influence over specific local groups,
and 4) depopulation of regions inhabited by<br>“untermenschen.”
<br><br>All leftists should learn about low intensity warfare; it is
by far and away one of the most disgusting and useful tools in the
imperialist repertoire. Don’t let the words “low
intensity” trick you: rivers are dammed with corpses and the
fields are sown with the blood of the targeted nation.<br><br>1950s:

western hemisphere = US property, and we mean economically,
politically, and all other ways; the Middle East = potentially,
possibly, most likely, US property<br><br>Wilson Doctrine – 14
Points internationalism (i.e., great powers should respect each
other; to hell with the rest); western hemisphere = US property, and
we really mean it this time! non-whites = untermenschen<br><br>Roosevelt
Doctrine – “Good Neighbor Policy!” i.e., western
hemisphere = US property, and we really really really fucking mean
it.<br><br>Truman Doctrine – aid to fascists in Greece, Turkey,
the Philippines, Korea, Vietnam, western Europe, Eastern Europe,
North Africa, etc. i.e., what Kennan called
“Containment.”<br><br>Eisenhower Doctrine – the
Middle East = US property; non-whites = untermenschen; massive
retaliation<br><br>Nixon Doctrine – enter neocolonialism:
overthrowing governments, installing clients, using local elites to
manage foreign populations for US advantage i.e., Asia, Africa,
western hemisphere = US property, but we’re gonna try to be
sneaky about it. Overall, see above.<br><br>Carter Doctrine –
the Middle East = US property, and we aren’t kidding;
trilateralism<br><br>Reagan Doctrine – “Rollback”;
mutually assured destruction; low intensity warfare; support for
rightwing Islamist groups, narcotics smuggling, etc.<br><br>Bush I

<h3>Noteworthy propaganda campaigns, hoaxes, and other lies qua <i>casus
belli</i> utilized by the United States:</h3>
<p><br>It is well known that German Fascists transformed their
buffoonish leader, Hitler, from a national joke into der Fuhrer die
Reich by means of a) securing moneys from large industrialists and
financiers (they liked his extremely rightwing ideas on race, labor,
religion, nationalism, capitalism, imperialism, etc) and b) by using
multiple propaganda hoaxes in order to sway domestic opinion. <br><br>The
Reichstag fire in 1933 allowed for Hitler to be proclaimed leader of
the state as well as for the Night of the Long Knives the following
year (violence against leftists) and all of the anti-jewish bullshit
that came soon after. As we all know, the Reichstag was burned by
fascist thugs and blamed on communists; they even got a disabled
Dutch guy to “admit” to both arson <i>and</i>
communism—smoking gun! woohoo!<br><br>In 1938, the Nazis
claimed that they needed to perform a “humanitarian
intervention” in the Sudetenland (in the modern Czech Republic)
in order to stop “ethnic violence.” Of course, it
was Nazi thugs carrying out the “ethnic violence” in the
first place, but never mind that small detail.<br><br>In 1939, the
fascists contrived Operation Canned Goods—a faked attack on a
German border patrol, which was allegedly a surprise massacre,
carried out by Polish military personnel. Evil Slavic Untermenschen
Evildoer Terrorists! <br><br>Too bad, however, that we now know those
corpses in German uniform shown on Nazi TV to be dead Poles,
kidnapped and murdered; the German public, though, went insane with
jingoism, calling for invasions and genocide.<br><br>As we shall see,
this is a technique learned by the Nazis from the masters of such
things in the US (Hitler credited the development of the “Final
Solution” to his study of US treatment of Native Americans),
and something that was then perfected by the US after it recovered
and reconciled with its mad dog Nazi assets during the Cold War.
<br><br>The overall pattern is using irrelevant, misinterpreted, or
completely fabricated events in order to convince all of the
clarences (who had nothing to gain from militarism, but who were
susceptible to jingoism, racism, ethnocentrism) that…war is a
great fucking idea!<br><br>NB that many of these propaganda hoaxes
seem to be more effective now than they were when first
produced.<br><br>Also NB, these are the times that the state was
forced, for whatever reasons, to consult with the public—either
Congress or the people. Most US crimes are committed without recourse
to either, or with only a general, vague acknowledgement: “Oh,
that CIA is just protecting Freedom from Evil! We can’t tell
you what they’re doing specifically, because that would
compromise them to the Forces of Darkness!”<br><br><b>1775 –
Britain:</b> so it begins, and the story runs that Evildoer British
imperialists took away Our Liberty, &c.; produced Evil Boston
Massacres, Stamp Acts, Massachusetts Uprisings; and tried to import
tea. While the British were certainly imperialistic, and tea is the
mark of the ruling class in colonial times, we should take heed that
the first offensive of the American War for Independence was a
colonial invasion of Quebec. <br><br>Huh? <br>You mean, before they
even signed the Declaration, the proto-United States was invading
other countries?<br>You bet. <br><br>What’s at stake here is
the Proclamation Line and the Quebec Act, both of which prevented the
fledgling colonies from expanding. And be sure to recall that during
the next US war, a conquest of Canada would again be
attempted.<br><br><br><b>1812 – Britain:</b> ah…tales
of “naval impressments.” <br><br>Too bad that this
narrative, of war caused by US sailors being conscripted, like
slaves, into the British privateering fleet, is a lie; too bad that
the landowners all across the infant US wanted the British, French,
Spanish, and natives off the continent so they could expand their
holdings, import more slaves, and thereby make more money; too bad
that plans for such expansion existed way before the declaration of
hostilities. The keys here are Florida, the Caribbean, and the
western frontier.<br><br><b>1846 – Mexico:</b> the US is forced
to retaliate against the Mexicans, since Mexican troops ruthlessly
attacked US regiments, who just happened to be occupying slave-owning
Texas. <br><br>Why would the Evildoers in Mexico do that? <br>Not,
I hope, because Texas was part of Mexico?<br>Not, I fear, because
Mexicans were anti-slavery (abolished since 1829)? <br>Not, I
believe, because the US had aggressively assaulted Mexico multiple
times already, including the original secessionist agitation in
Texas? <br><br>No, none of that matters; they’re just
Evil.<br><br><b>1898 – Spain:</b> the “Remember the
Maine!” incident as well as Hearst newspapers proclaiming that
Cuba needed a “humanitarian intervention”—both
obvious lies—help sway people in the US to genocidal furor.
Enter Empire, the subjugation of the people of Guam, Puerto Rico, and
Cuba, and the Philippine genocide.<br><br><b>1917 – Central
Powers:</b> the Lusitania incident and the Zimmerman Telegram fire up
US war fervor; too bad the Wilson administration provoked the Germans
by aiding the British under a flag of “neutrality,”
generated tons of anti-German racialist BS, and managed to invade
every country in the Caribbean, including Mexico several
times.<br><br>Also, we needn’t forget that the Wilsonian
declaration of War was timed perfectly with Lenin’s “April
Theses.” All in the name of “protecting democracy,”
from Evildoers, no doubt! <br><br>An honest student of history will
note that it’s more like “protecting certain segments of
Kapital from others, whilst destroying genuine democratic
resistance.”<br><br><b>1918 – USSR:</b> “Communists
eat babies!” “Bolsheviks seek to conquer world!’
“International Jewry grabs power in Russia!” “Reds
to start war in India next!” “Socialism and incest:
partners in Sin!” <br><br>So ran the newspapers, every day, in
every city, after Czarist absolutism was broken by popular
resistance, no thanks to the US.<br><br>Wilson’s administration
used such imbecilic pretenses in a failed attempt to “strangle
bolshevism in its cradle,” as one imperialist from a different
genocidal nation put it. Of course, the real motives behind
western intervention weren’t mentioned: Capital Capital Capital
Capital.<br><br><b>1941 – Axis Powers:</b> the Pearl Harbor
attack was known in advance, no matter how “sudden” or
how much “infamy” Roosevelt would later claim for it. NB
FDR’s well-planned provocation strategy to ensure that Japan
would attack the US, thus allowing the US to dictate terms to the
rest of the world, which would be destroyed by war’s end. <br><br>NB
that the overrated Operation Overlord was delayed just long enough
for the Soviet Union to be shattered by Kapital’s mad dog
Hitler, but just timely enough to prevent the Soviets from taking out
all of the fascists in Europe, from the Volga to Gibraltar.<br><br><b>1945
– Japan:</b> event—nukes; propaganda lie—“saving
Japanese and American lives”; bitter truth—self-serving
genocide and terrorism to intimidate Stalin. Only assholes can
believe the US story here.<br><br><b>1950 – DPRK:</b> despite
claims that “the Totalitarian North ruthlessly invaded the Free
South,” it looks as though a communist North reacted to a long
series of provocations carried out by a fascistic South, which
included border skirmishes, coordinated raids, and artillery battery.
But who cares? America to the rescue! Of fascism.<br><br><b>1952 –
East Germany:</b> despite Soviet attempts to get out of Berlin,
requiring only assurances from the US that Germany would be a)
democratic, b) demilitarized, c) united, and d) neutral, the US
insisted on the precarious, ignorant status quo, obviously preferring
it to the just Soviet proposal. Up, then, went the Berlin Wall in
1961, which was called an act of tyranny by moronic US commentators,
but was intended by the Soviet Union to keep fascists, CIA
operatives, saboteurs, assassins, and other agents of Kapital away.
This event is largely responsible for much escalation of the Cold War
during 50s, which would predictably and wrongly be blamed on the
USSR.<br><br><b>1953 – Iran:</b> Commies are gonna get us! Or
so it was said by flag-waving retards. <br>The unfortunate truth: a
democratic regime thought it was allowed to use its own resources for
its own benefit. <br>The US disagreed with Mossadegh.<br><br><b>1954
– Guatemala:</b> Commies are gonna get us! Or so it was said by
flag-waving retards. <br>The unfortunate truth: a democratic regime
thought it was allowed to use its own resources for its own benefit.
<br>The US disagreed with Arbenz.<br><br><b>1964 – Vietnam:</b>
the USS Maddox got hit by some lightning, but LBJ thought it’d
be a good idea to bow before the banking cartels, the Seven Sisters,
the Pentagon, and crusty McCarthyoids, thereby inventing the notion
that the (repeat the old script) Red North ruthlessly invaded the
Free South—or, at least they ruthlessly attacked an innocent US
naval vessel in international waters. <br><br>Turns out that there
was no attack, that the ship was in Hanoi’s waters, and was
not-at-all-innocently deploying special forces and other
anti-communist swine into the North for the normal roster of
Kapitalist Karnage.<br><br><b>1973 – Chile:</b> Commies are
gonna get us! Or so it was said by flag-waving retards. <br>The
unfortunate truth: a democratic regime thought it was allowed to use
its own resources for its own benefit. <br>The US disagreed with
Allende.<br><br><b>1981 – Nicaragua:</b> Commies are gonna get
us! Or so it was said by flag-waving retards. <br>The unfortunate
truth: a democratic regime thought it was allowed to use its own
resources for its own benefit. <br>The US disagreed with
Ortega.<br><br><b>1983 – Grenada:</b> Commies are gonna get us!
Or so it was said by flag-waving retards. <br>The unfortunate truth:
a democratic regime thought it was allowed to use its own resources
for its own benefit.<br>The US disagreed with Bishop.<br><br><b>1986
– Libya:</b> Evil Terrorist Nation! Quit doing Terrorist
things! We will bomb you! <br>Turns out that the Libyans weren’t
responsible, after all, for the acts of “terror” of which
they’d been accused. <br>Hmm…a high publicity bombing
mission right in the middle of the Iran-Contra Affair?<br>What a
coincidence!<br>And at a time when Gorbachev was making peaceful
overtures and the US was in danger of having no enemies?<br>Amazingly
coincidental!<br><br><b>1989 – Panama:</b> They said that
Noriega was an Evildoer Drugdealer! You must go Evil Doper! USA All
The Way! Humanitarian Intervention!<br>We should mention that Noriega
was attempting to institute some democratic reforms and social
services, had been a CIA asset, and largely oversaw US drug
smuggling—and could document his and US involvement in the
Iran-Contra Affair. <br>But why trouble anyone with the facts?
<br><br>Especially the fact that the true meaning of the words
“Operation Just Cause” is that US Delta Force teams
secretly attacked US Army units so that the US could claim
“Panamanian terrorists are shooting us!”<br><br><b>1991 –
Kuwait:</b> the famous “dead babies” hoax, which was
revealed to be a lie. <br>Other tidbits: Kuwait had provoked Iraq in
numerous ways; Iraq got approval from its imperial master, the US,
before invading; Bush had personal investments in the region; and US
strategy had long called for a way to control the Gulf States
directly. <br><br>With the USSR gone and the Kuwait-Iraq border
dispute, the US now had both pretext and opportunity.<br><br><b>1992
– Bosnia:</b> never mind all of the dead Serbs. Instead, check
out this photo!<br>The Evil Serb Evildoers have Evilly put some guy
in a concentration camp at Trnopolje!<br><br>Look at the barbed
wire!<br>Look at how starved he is!<br><br>Oh…wait a
minute…looks like that the barbed wire is around someone’s
shed, that the photographer is in the shed, that the starving guy is
a refugee on the outside of the barbed fence, that the headline
“Belsen 92” is a lie, that there were no concentration
camps, and that the entire series of US operations in the early 1990s
were resurrected Nazi policies on Yugoslavia, which still maintained
some socialistic economic policies. <br><br>Well, I’ll be
damned: another “humanitarian intervention” for
Kapitalism.<br><br><b>1993 – Somalia:</b> Yet another
“Humanitarian intervention!” <br>Thing is, the famine was
nearly over, the US wasn’t anywhere near where it had been, the
Somalis already hated the US for thrusting Barre on them, and the US
was only there now for 1) oil prospecting, 2) uranium mining, 3)
military basing, 4) public relations, and 5) a “paid
advertisement” for the Pentagon, in Chairman of the Joint
Chiefs Colin Powell’s cynical phrase..<br><br><b>1998 –
Sudan:</b> Evil terrorists are making VX nerve gas in that big
factory! Tomahawk it! <br>Turns out, though, that the plant
manufactured antibiotics for half the country. Given that the Sudan
was in the midst of a disease crisis, the destruction of their
medical infrastructure only served to exacerbate the problem. <br><br>How
many died as a result? <br>Who knows—the US, as is typical,
doesn’t care to investigate, apologize, or acknowledge.<br><br><b>1999
– Kosovo:</b> “Humanitarian intervention!”
<br><br>Now for something completely different. <br>Racak,
Srebrenica, Izbica, Trepca—all more complicated than they seem,
as according to numerous international organizations, the FBI, and so
on. Ethnic cleansing? Only if we are talking about the
cleansing of Serbs by NATO. And the banner hoax here: the “Serbian
MIG,” allegedly attacking civilians, is revealed as a fraud in
state-press photos, which obviously display English writing on the
alleged fuselage.<br><br><b>2001 – Afghanistan:</b> Evil
Terrorists got us! We will get them back! <br>Of course, the true
story is much more complicated, involving US complicity, deception,
and strategic planning at all levels, as noted in the recent
historical record (cf. “the complete 9/11 timeline”).
<br><br><b>2002 – ? Iraq:</b> Evil! Smite Evil! Get oil! <br>Did
I say oil?<br>I meant that Evildoer tried to kill my daddy! One
excellent hoax, besides the manufactured general “threat”
rhetoric, is the alleged 15 kg of “weapons-grade uranium”
recovered in Turkey in mid 2002, allegedly bound for Iraq from
“Eastern Europe.” Too bad that this “weapons-grade
uranium” has “Made in West Germany” written on
it—in English.<br><br><br>

Death Squads -AI</i>) to better fight Al Qaida affiliates, amid alarm in Washington about spillover from the civil war in neighbouring Syria, according to US officials.<br /><br />
The stepped-up mission expands a covert US presence on the edges of the two-year-old Syrian conflict, at a time of American concerns about the growing power of extremists in the Syrian rebellion.<br /><br />
Al Qaida in Iraq, the terrorist network’s affiliate in the country, has close ties to Syria-based Jabhat Al Nusra, also known as the Al Nusra Front, an opposition militant group that has attacked government installations and controls territory in northern Syria. The US State Department placed Al Nusra on its list of foreign terror organisations in December, calling the group an alias for Al Qaida in Iraq.

<blockquote>Decide for yourself where the insanity lies. Four out of five Americans are on Adderall, Ritalin or Prozac. One in three are obese. People in the Congo are massacred to facilitate our latest smart phone upgrades. America, Europe, Canada, Australia, we are all living 5 planet lifestyles. If you still need a reason to stop consuming - consider that manufacturing and consumption are responsible for more than half of the global carbon dioxide emissions. And if we heat up just 4 degrees more, we will witness a total and irreversible collapse of human civilization. We're killing ourselves - and even as the denial about global warming is slowly breaking over us, we still choose - sheeplike - to join the throngs in the malls. Without significant rituals, we clamour to participate in the only ones we have, like the Christmas shopping binge, driven by our desire for meaning - of which our culture is devoid.<br />

Bakunin, however, saw in the “uncivilized, disinherited, and illiterate” a pool of revolutionists who would join the working class and turn on the elites who profited from their misery and enslavement.<br />

Soon to be a necessity due to the county's absolute inability to house even ten percent of their homeless at the Emergency Shelter at DeLaveaga Park on any given night of the upcoming winter.<br />
<br />
I want to know what the ACLU intends to do about this.<br />
<br />
What I would like to see as an end result of the ACLU's court action is a state or federal investigation into Santa Cruz law enforcement practices as they affect their homeless citizens and a "Jones"-like decision including strict oversight of the city and county's policies towards that segment of it's citizenry until it has been discerned that justice, as practiced in regard to the homeless of the area is in line with law enforcement policies as practiced in regard to their housed population.</blockquote><center><b><big><big>Presentation, <a href="http://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2012/09/28/18722556.php?show_comments">In Full</a></b></big></big></center><br />

Nations are not communities and never have been.<br />
<br />
The history of any country, presented as the history of a family, conceals fierce conflicts of interest (sometimes exploding, most often repressed) between conquerors and conquered, masters and slaves, capitalists and workers, dominators and dominated in race and sex.<br />
<br />
And in such a world of conflict, a world of victims and executioners, it is the job of thinking people, as Albert Camus suggested, not to be on the side of the executioners. ~~Howard Zinn, Columbus, The Indians, and Human Progress [@ <a href="http://www.historyisaweapon.com/defcon1/zinncol1.html">History Is A Weapon</a>] or PDF [<a href="http://history.powelltown.com/pdfs/Zinn.pdf">HERE</a>]</blockquote>Razerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06536549009604288834noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5704171321277979700.post-26767664372046245842012-05-18T07:00:00.000-07:002012-05-22T17:48:43.196-07:00R.I.P Chandler Laughlin III...

<br />
The second day of Syria's fragile ceasefire appears to have held, although reports emerged of scattered violence. According to the British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, violent clashes broke out early on Friday in Khirbel el-Joz, a northwestern village in the Idlib province near the Turkish border. Nonetheless, United Nations and Arab League envoy Kofi Annan said that the truce has been "relatively respected." Meanwhile, Syrian opposition leaders called for mass protests, which are expected after Friday prayers. An advance team of up to 12 U.N. observers are set to enter Syria if given the orders from the U.N. Security Council. The United States has also drafted a resolution that outlines plans for the observer mission, which is expected to come to a vote Friday. Ultimately, Annan's plan calls for 250 observers, but Russia's Ambassador Vitaly Churkin said, "The full-fledged mission will take some time to deploy." Syria has said it will accept the monitors who could arrive early next week. Annan's six-point peace plan includes the right to demonstrate, <STRONG>but the government said protesters must seek permission,</STRONG> [<i><b><a href="http://mideast.foreignpolicy.com/posts/2012/04/13/syrian_ceasefire_relatively_respected_as_un_looks_to_observer_mission" target="_blank">In Full</a></b></i>]</blockquote>"...<EM>but the government said protesters must seek permission</EM>..."<br />
<br />
<STRONG>You'd wonder what the writer's point was when they penned that...

<em>Associated Press</EM></STRONG><br />
<br />
SANAA, Yemen (AP) -- Yemeni artillery and military aircraft backing pro-government tribesmen pounded al-Qaida fighters trying to battle their way into a strategic town in the country's south on Wednesday, while a suspected U.S. airstrike killed at least 12 militants, officials said.<br />
<br />
The fighting near the town of Lawder started over the weekend when al-Qaida attacked an army post, sparking resistance from Yemeni troops and from armed residents.<br />
<br />
The military claims that at least 165 militants have been killed in the past three days, including 38 on Wednesday, as al-Qaida continues a costly but determined assault aimed at expanding a swath of the south under their control. The officials said six civilians fighting alongside the army were also killed...

JUBA, South Sudan (AP) -- After a day of fierce fighting, troops from South Sudan captured an oil-rich border town that is claimed by Sudan, whose troops withdrew under the onslaught, a Sudanese government minister said Wednesday.<br />

The military advance by South Sudan into territory it claims but which is internationally recognized as Sudan's brought swift condemnation from the United States and Britain.

<big><big><big><strong>«<font color="red">o</font>»</strong></big></big></big> <strong><big><big>A</BIG></BIG> double bombing in the Western Afghanistan province of Herat has left</STRONG> ten dead police officers and intelligence operators.

The US is claiming it's a test of a rocket that could possibly hit the far northwest corner of US territory such as the Aleutian Islands... implying a nuclear weapons delivery system.<br />
<br />

<strong><big>A Synopsis Of This Morning's News...</big></strong><br />
<b><i>H/t to ChrisM my MP3Angel for supplying the audio files.</b></i><br />
<br />
<big><big><big><strong>«<font color="red">o</font>»</strong></big></big></big> <strong><big><big>T</BIG></BIG>here's a new tactical arrangement for night raids by ISAF forces in Afghanistan.</STRONG> Those forces are going to be garrisoned at night, with the Afghan "Special Forces" thugs we've trained doing that dirty work instead... Unless of course ISAF forces are called in to 'critique and assist' them.<br />
<br />
<big><big><big><strong>«<font color="red">o</font>»</strong></big></big></big> <strong><big><big>W</BIG></BIG>ith two days to go before a ceasefire begins the Syrian rebels have rejected a demand</STRONG> by the Syrian government that they lay down their arms. Government forces are using artillery and aircraft against three cities ostensibly 'in the hands' of the rebels, whose strategic, tactical, and operational base is in Turkey... which has led to this cross border incident:<blockquote><strong>Turkey: 3 wounded from Syrian gunfire over border<br />
By Selcan Hacaoglu, <em>Associated Press</EM></STRONG><br />
<br />
ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — Turkey says Syrian forces fired across the border at a refugee camp, wounding a Turkish translator and at least two Syrian refugees.<br />
<br />
A government official, speaking on condition of anonymity in line with government rules, says Turkey immediately summoned the Syrian charge d’affaires and asked that the fire be halted. [<i><b><a href="http://www.salon.com/2012/04/09/turkey_3_wounded_from_syrian_gunfire_over_border/singleton/" target="_blank">More</a></b></i>]</blockquote><big><big><big><strong>«<font color="red">o</font>»</strong></big></big></big> <strong><big><big>T</BIG></BIG>he Iranians have offered to make a deal to stop producing their 30% enriched nuclear material</STRONG> and scale back their R&D efforts if there is an international agreement to provide materials and technology from other 'controlled' sources. For your information, weapons grade nuclear material is around 90% enriched, the Iranians have 30% enriched, and the West wants them to have no more than 15% enriched. The law of diminishing returns ABSOLUTELY applies here. It's a light-year leap from 30% to 90% and would require a HUGE investment of time, money, equipment, and low grade nuclear materials to produce weapons grade Plutonium, and the Iranians simply do not have the resources.<br />
<br />
<big><big><big><strong>«<font color="red">o</font>»</strong></big></big></big> <strong><big><big>T</BIG></BIG>he US has deployed a second aircraft carrier group in the Arabian Sea outside the Persian Gulf</STRONG> and are 'patrolling the coast for piracy' from Aden to Somalia. It's the fourth time in ten years the US has had two carrier groups, which cost millions of dollars a day to staff and operate, in that area.<br />
<br />
<big><big><big><strong>«<font color="red">o</font>»</strong></big></big></big> <strong><big><big>R</BIG></BIG>epublican presidential nomination contender Rick Santorum is off the campaign trail</STRONG> visiting his daughter who is ill. The next Republican primary is in Pennsylvania, Santorum's home state.<br />
<br />
<strong><big><big>M</BIG></BIG>eanwhile the Republication 'Super Delegates' says no matter how you add it up Mitt Romney is going to clinch the Republican presidential nomination.</STRONG><blockquote>It's over, and Mitt Romney is going to be the GOP nominee for president.<br />
<br />
That's the growing consensus among Republican National Committee members who will automatically attend the party's national convention this summer and can support any candidate they choose.<br />
<br />
Even some members who support other candidates begrudgingly say the math doesn't add up for anyone but the former Massachusetts governor.<br />
<br />
"I would be surprised if Romney doesn't get the number he needs," said Jeff Johnson of Minnesota, who supports former House Speaker Newt Gingrich.<br />
<br />
Bob Bennett of Ohio was more blunt.<br />
<br />
"Look, Gov. Romney's going to be the nominee, and he's going to have enough votes," said Bennett, who is publicly neutral but said he supported Romney four years ago.

<b><i>H/t to ChrisM my MP3Angel for supplying the audio files.</b></i><br />
<br />
<big><big><big><strong>«<font color="red">o</font>»</strong></big></big></big> <STRONG><BIG><BIG>Y</BIG></BIG>esterday president Obama signed the Jobs Act which loosens up credit and insurance on government contracts</STRONG> for small businesses and entrepreneurs. Will the hustlers and hucksters move in on those government insured loans?<br />
<br />
<big><big><big><strong>«<font color="red">o</font>»</strong></big></big></big> <STRONG><BIG><BIG>A</BIG></BIG>ttorney General Holder came up with the required three page single spaced justification</STRONG> as demanded by the 5th circuit court judge who took umbrage at the president's pronouncement that the Ryan budget bill had a number of constitutional no-nos within it and was an attack on the underpinnings of American society.<br />
<br />
<STRONG><BIG><BIG>M</BIG></BIG>eanwhile, the Europeans are confused by our "Supreme" judicial jurisprudence:</STRONG><blockquote>Europe is scratching its head over possibility that the U.S. Supreme Court will strike down President Obama's signature legislative achievement. As the judiciary and the Obama administration trade legal barbs over the high court's authority, the idea that health care coverage, largely considered a universal right in Europe, could be deemed an affront to liberty is baffling. <br />
<br />
"The Supreme Court can legitimately return Obamacare?" asks a headline on the French news site 9 POK . The article slowly walks through the legal rationale behind the court's right to wipe away Congress's legislation. "Sans précédent, extraordinaires" reads the article. In the German edition of The Financial Times, Sabine Muscat is astonished at Justice Antonin Scalia's argument that if the government can mandate insurance, it can also require people to eat broccoli. "Absurder Vergleich" reads the article's kicker, which in English translates to, "Absurd Comparison." In trying to defeat the bill, Muscat writes, Scalia is making a "strange analogy [to] vegetables." [<i><b><a href="http://news.yahoo.com/europe-baffled-u-supreme-court-220944850.html" target="_blank">More @ Atlantic Wire via Yahoo!</a></b></i>]</blockquote><big><big><big><strong>«<font color="red">o</font>»</strong></big></big></big> <STRONG><BIG><BIG>A</BIG></BIG> UN brokered ceasefire has been declared in Syria and the Assad government has signed it willingly</STRONG>, but right now Syrian forces are attacking a number of suburbs of Damascus and the city of Homs attempting to secure territory before the ceasefire takes effect next week.<br />
<br />
<big><big><big><strong>«<font color="red">o</font>»</strong></big></big></big> <STRONG><BIG><BIG>T</BIG></BIG>here's a virus attacking Apple computers. But as has been noted by a number of computer savvy pundits over the years</STRONG>, don't call Apple for advice. They'll only direct you to call the company that supplied your antivirus software. Are they working on a patch to plug that security hole? Who knows? Unlike MicroSoft, Apple doesn't like to talk about those things with the public.<br />
<br />
<big><big><big><strong>«<font color="red">o</font>»</strong></big></big></big> <STRONG><BIG><BIG>I</BIG></BIG>ran has thrown a wrench in the works on the UN sponsored Palestinian-Israel talks by inviting the meeting to Tehran or Damascus</STRONG> instead of Turkey (<EM>where the West is currently hosting the folks staging the destabilization of Syria</EM>). Considering both of those countries would be involved in those talks, and the significance of those countries in the region, the talks COULD fall apart if that suggestion isn't honored by the UN.<br />
<br />
<big><big><big><strong>«<font color="red">o</font>»</strong></big></big></big> <STRONG><BIG><BIG>I</BIG></BIG>n Greece the suicide rate has tripled since IMF mandated austerity measures were enacted recently.</STRONG><br />
<br />
<STRONG><BIG><BIG>Y</BIG></BIG>esterday...</STRONG> A 77 year old retired pharmacist shot himself in the head during the morning rush-hour near Syntagma Square.<blockquote>“I see no other option for a dignified end before having to scavenge through the garbage for my food,” (in other versions "I find no other solution than a dignified end before I start searching through the trash for food," [<EM><A HREF="http://www.spiegel.de/international/europe/0,1518,825957,00.html" TARGET="_blank">src</A></EM>]) the 77-year-old retired pharmacist from Karditsa wrote in the note found on him after he shot himself to death in Athens' main square yesterday morning.</blockquote><STRONG><BIG><BIG>H</BIG></BIG>is note stated:</STRONG><br />
"After paying into my pension for 35 years, the government has rendered it too small to survive..."<blockquote>His suicide sparked demonstrations, recriminations, and a public debate on its significance. As people took to the square in commiseration and anger, Prime Minister Lukas Papademos expressed sorrow.<br />
<br />
“It’s tragic that a fellow man has ended his own life," he said "In these difficult times for our society, we, both the state and the citizens, have to support the people next to us that are in distress." <br />
<br />
The public suicide as a political statement is highly unusual in Greek political tradition.<br />
<br />
“I have to say this is a little out of our political culture,” says Michalis... [<i><b><a href="http://www.csmonitor.com/World/Europe/2012/0405/Athens-suicide-a-cry-for-dignity-from-downtrodden-video" target="_blank">Christian Science Monitor for more</a></b></i>]</blockquote><STRONG><BIG><BIG>B</BIG></BIG>ut it IS right inside the ECONOMIC and SOCIAL acculturation of the OECD nations...</STRONG><br />
<br />
Yours truly is speaking of what can only be described as victims of an affluent society where people are semantically informed throughout their lives that they are somehow worth more than an Indonesian garbage dump dweller. However, the Indonesian doesn't have those suicidal thoughts because their society, family and friends don't consider them outcasts or 'disposable' because life has dealt them that hand.<br />
<br />
Consider <EM><STRONG><A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohamed_Bouazizi" TARGET="_blank">Mohamed Bouazizi</A></STRONG></EM>, the Tunisian who self-immolated and sparked a 'revolution' in his country.<br />
<br />
He didn't commit suicide because he was forced to sell oranges on a street corner for a living despite his higher education. He committed suicide because the Tunisian government (<EM>at least the municipality where he lived</EM>) prevented him from doing even that.<br />
<br />
In Western industrial society, our learned behaviors prevent us, psychologically and emotionally, from digging trash if we have to, leaving a population prone to suicide, substance abuse, and psychological health problems as the end result.<br />
<br />
Further, we are all programmed from birth not to bite the hand that feeds us so to speak, but when the 'food' stops showing up we won't bite them... we attack each other.<br />
<br />
I mean Mexican illegals (<EM>workers just like us</EM>) ARE the reason we don't have jobs right?<br />
<br />
That's what we're told, and that's what we want to believe because we cannot believe that the people who created the system as it is, did it ALL for themselves.<br />
<br />
Believe it...<br />
<br />
The Simpson "Cat Food Commission", the US government's response to an IMF demand that the OECD nations cut their national deficits by a large amount has yet to cause the massive disruptions and dis-ease in America, but similar plans are the direct cause of the turmoil we are now seeing in Greece and Spain which have enacted those plans.<br />
<br />
By reading the newspapers you'd think those country's government just 'thought it up', but it was agreed on by the IMF just a couple of years ago that it would be done in all the member nations... Including America.<br />
<br />
<STRONG><BIG><BIG>M</BIG></BIG>eanwhile, the Globalized Rich left note of appreciation on the night table for you after <font color="red">screwing you</font> for the last 24 hours:</STRONG><blockquote><STRONG>Darling</STRONG>,<br />
<br />
It's been fun but let's be honest. You'll never win the lottery.<br />
<br />
On the other hand, the chances are pretty good that you'll slave away at some miserable job the rest of your life. That's because you were in all likelihood born into the wrong social class. Let's face it -- you're a member of the working caste. Sorry!<br />
<br />
As a result, you don't have the education, upbringing, connections, manners, appearance, and good taste to ever become one of us.<br />
<br />
In fact, you'd probably need a book the size of the yellow pages to list all the unfair advantages we have over you. That's why we're so relieved to know that you still continue to believe all those silly fairy tales about "justice" and "equal opportunity" in America.<br />
<br />
Of course, in a hierarchical social system like ours, there's never been much room at the top to begin with. Besides, it's already occupied by us -- and we like it up here so much that we intend to keep it that way.<br />
<br />
But at least there's usually someone lower in the social hierarchy you can feel superior to and kick in the teeth once in a while. Even a lowly dishwasher can easily find some poor slob further down in the pecking order to sneer and spit at.<br />
<br />
So be thankful for migrant workers, prostitutes, and homeless street people.<br />
<br />
Always remember that if everyone like you were economically secure and socially privileged like us, there would be no one left to fill all those boring, dangerous, low-paid jobs in our economy.<br />
<br />
And no one to fight our wars for us, or blindly follow orders in our totalitarian corporate institutions. And certainly no one to meekly go to their grave without having lived a full and creative life. So please, keep up the good work!<br />
<br />
You also probably don't have the same greedy, compulsive drive to possess wealth, power, and prestige that we have. And even though you may sincerely want to change the way you live, you're also afraid of the very change you desire, thus keeping you and others like you in a nervous state of limbo.<br />
<br />
So you go through life mechanically playing your assigned social role, terrified what others would think should you ever dare to "break out of the mold."<br />
<br />
Naturally, we try to play you off against each other whenever it suits our purposes: high-waged workers against low-waged, unionized against non-unionized, Black against White, male against female, American workers against Japanese against Mexican against...
