Bradley Manning Lynched by the US Government August 01, 2013 " Information Clearing House  -  The verdict for Manning was predetermined, and the show trial in a kangaroo court – a post-modern American remix of China in the 1960s during the Cultural Revolution – just signed, sealed and delivered it. The President of the United States (POTUS) had already said he was guilty. US corporate media had been screaming for three years he was guilty.

The U.S. Military Has Awarded Contracts To Al-Qaeda In Afghanistan U.S. Military Has Awarded Contracts To Al-Qaeda In Afghanistan By Michael Krieger August 01, 2013 " Information Clearing House  -  I suppose it just wasn’t enough that our allies,  “the rebels” in Syria, have significant Al-Qaeda elements  to them.

Al-Qaeda Unleashed Against Syria and Iraq With Acceptance of the West Al-Qaeda Unleashed Against Syria and Iraq With Acceptance of the West By Pepe Escobar July 26, 2013 " Information Clearing House  -   The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant – the official denomination of al-Qaeda in Iraq – does not even pretend to be not responsible for the relentless bombing, political assassination and mostly sectarian horror unleashed across Iraq during Ramadan. But this is exactly what they’re doing, with relish; throwing arrays of crude bombs made with fertilizer enhanced with ball bearings, manipulating a small army of foreign suicide bombers. Most of these, by the way, crossed the desert from Syria.

Narrow Defeat: Amash Amendment to Block NSA Surveillance Fails -- News from Antiwar.com  The amendment failed, unfortunately, but the 205-217 vote showed that many in the House were willing to buck party leadership in favor of the American public’s demands to see the NSA powers curbed.

On the Death of Helen Thomas July 23, 2013 " Information Clearing House  -  Helen Thomas, the renowned journalist, died on 20 July 2013 at the age of 92. She was the first woman journalist to cover the White House and did so for an unprecedented 50 years. She lasted in that job despite always asking the tough questions. It was a glorious run besmirched only late in her career by opportunistic attacks by Zionist American ideologues. When that happened, as described below, I wrote a piece in her defense. It was originally put online on June 23, 2010, but is here represented in an updated form.
