Media Laying Groundwork For 911-II ?

15-10-2006 20:06

Adam Yahiye Gadahn is getting a LOT of press. Funny that none of these stories about the "American Al Qaeda" never seem to mention his real name, Adam Pearlman, or the fact that his grandfather was on the board of directors of the ADL.

"Gadahn" is being built up in the media for some nefarious purpose.

choosing wisely – a short political essay in two parts (and another bit)

15-10-2006 08:17

Our rulers are now largely divorced from everyday life and everyday concerns and our opportunities for assessing their emotional fitness for office, first hand, are diminished or non-existent.

15-10-2006 04:04

“re-colonisation”

The RAMSI operation has been hailed, within Australia and internationally, as a model for intervention in “failed states”.
