new congo war- we are all guilty bystanders

above: mobile phone parts or 'blood-soaked chunks of the slaughter'

"The deadliest war since Adolf Hitler marched across Europe is starting again -- and you are almost certainly carrying a blood-soaked chunk of the slaughter in your pocket. When we glance at the holocaust in the Congo, with 5.4 million dead, the clichés of Africa reporting tumble out: this is a "tribal conflict" in "the Heart of Darkness." It isn't. The United Nations investigation found it was a war led by "armies of business" to seize the metals that make our twenty-first century society zing and bling. The war in Congo is a war about you". full article

world of war craft backs obama

perhaps america really is changing

the population of america have put up with being lied to, robbed, and poisoned for so long it is hard to believe that they may finally be twigging, but today 40 workers at a call center walked out rather than read out a lying McCaine phone spam script that slagged off Obama. "We were asked to read something saying [Obama and Democrats] were against protecting children from danger," this worker said. "I wouldn't do it. A lot of people left. They thought it was disgusting." viva america

sarah palin: "a proud, boastful ignoramus"

Christopher Hitchens has just written a great piece on the disgrace to our species Sarah Palin: "This is what the Republican Party has done to us this year: It has placed within reach of the Oval Office a woman who is a religious fanatic and a proud, boastful ignoramus. Those who despise science and learning are not anti-elitist. They are morally and intellectually slothful people who are secretly envious of the educated and the cultured. And those who prate of spiritual warfare and demons are not just "people of faith" but theocratic bullies. On Nov. 4, anyone who cares for the Constitution has a clear duty to repudiate this wickedness and stupidity."


• Pictured above is Sarah Palin proving why she needed to spend $150,000 dollars on some new cloths. Palin is with her political 'buddy' and long time mentor the Alaska Senator Ted Stevens. The two Alaskan politicians are so close it is said that Sarah Palin started her political career in Ted Steven's living room. Trouble is, darn gonnit, Ted Stevens has just today been been convicted on 7 criminal counts of lying about free home renovations and other gifts, worth about $250,000 that he received from Bill Allen, a wealthy oil contractor and former head of the oil company Veco Corp. According to AP: "The verdict throws the upcoming election into disarray. Stevens is fighting off a challenge from Democrat Mark Begich and must now either drop out or continue campaigning as a convicted felon."

us election: getting the latest news

Sarah Palin is by far the favourite in one thing - being the Halloween monster that American's are dressing up as in order to scare their friends. Image from bartcop.com which always has good information on the US election.

State of the art poll compilation site fivethirtyeight.com currently has Oboma with a 95.7 chance of winning the Whitehouse and McCain with just 4.3, meanwhile a Reuters/C-SPAN/Zogby poll is saying Obama's lead has dropped to just five points.

According to Publisher and Editor, Senator Obama leads in newspaper endorsements with 145 to McCain's 55. Thirty 'Republican' papers which supported Bush last time now support Obama, many citing McCain's choice of Sarah Palin as the clincher.

One of the latest newspapers to come out for Obama is the Anchorage Daily News, the largest newspaper in Governor Sarah Palin's state of Alaska, so they must know Palin better than most. Of her they said "few who have worked closely with the governor would argue she is truly ready to assume command of the most important, powerful nation on earth."

The New York Times has an interesting behind the scenes look at the McCain campaign and how Sarah Palin was chosen; it's pretty close to an obituary.

On Saturday in Albuquerque both presidential candidates held election events. Obama drew 45,000 supporters , McCain's had just 1000.

Newsweek is warning of the future Sarah Palin Problem; the rabid racist right wing 'Real American' monster created by McCain. Even Bush did not stoop as low.

respect's feminist policy; women at the back

If you go to a meeting organised by the Respect Party to listen to George Galloway expect to be segregated according to your sex, women at the back. Your Friend in the North and Harrys Place have more. Respect has got to be one of the most twisted examples of how a 'left' organisation can end up perverting the fundamental principles of the left, and become no better than the bigots and fascists they claim to oppose. These people are straight out of Animal Farm.

is christopher hitchens a "bloviating drunk"

A post on the daily kos recently called Christopher Hitchens a "bloviating drunk", but check this recent debate between Hitchens and typical Daily Kos anti Iraq war type Eric Alterman. Christopher Hitchens puts in a brilliant performance and wipes the floor with the conventional 'nice liberal' position on Iraq. Hitchens, who supports Oboma for president, is often wrongly and unfairly accused of being 'rightwing' or 'conservative' because he had the guts to support getting rid of Saddam Hussain. This interesting debate proves that Hitches upholds the traditional left wing principals of international justice and freedom from oppression for all, which most of the 'left' have abandoned for sentimental pacifist hypocrisy, and appeasement for genocide.

the left is dead, long live the left.

major world crisis within six months "guaranteed"

Democrat vice presidential candidate Joe Biden has guaranteed that if Barack Obama is elected president, there will be an international crisis within six months.

"Mark my words. It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy. The world is looking. We're about to elect a brilliant 47-year-old senator president of the United States of America. Remember I said it standing here if you don't remember anything else I said. Watch, we're gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy. I can give you at least four or five scenarios from where it might originate."

Of course this is a fairly safe bet who ever wins the next US General Deception. Ever since the First World War, if not before, the US economy has relied on the 'military industrial complex' and the never ending bailout they call ... war.

Invading Pakistan's tribal areas seems the obvious next bailout solution; years of fighting guaranteed.

chinese milk scandal spreads to mars

Authorities in Seoul have ordered Mars and Nestle to pull three products after melamine, which is usually used for making plastics, was detected in snacks made in China by the multinationals.

The industrial chemical had been found in M&M's milk chocolate snack and Snickers peanut Fun Size, both produced by Mars, and Kit Kat chocolate bars imported from Nestle Tianjin in China, Korea Food and Drug Administration said.

Melamine has been blamed for making thousands of infants ill and killing four in mainland China after it tainted baby milk powder in one of the country's worst ever product safety scandals.

• The European Union recently banned all imports on Chinese milk-related products for children such as biscuits and chocolate on top of a long-standing embargo on Chinese dairy products like milk and yoghurt.

• A fourth Chinese milk product has been withdrawn from sale in Australia after tests revealed it was tainted with melamine, Food Standards Australia New Zealand said in a statement.

"we have to do something before the markets open on monday"

above: hypo bubble bank on the run.

This is the forth weekend in a row where they are saying "we have to do something before the markets open on Monday" and for three Mondays in a row the headlines have been something original like "Meltdown Monday".

This weekend desperate attempts are being made to save the aptly named 'Hypo Real Estate' super bubble bank in Germany from collapse, the European equivalent of Lehman brothers, threatening a banking system collapse. "If there is no solution when stock markets open on Monday morning, the company won't make it two more days," said a banker quoted in Spiegel.

• Black Monday 15 September - Lehman Brothers go down in controlled demolition which really started on 11.9.

• Black Monday September 22 - Last two standing investment banks evaporate as Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs shape shift into bank holding companies, George Bush trying to get bail out, and his bail, passed with no oversight or foresight.

• Black Monday 29 September - bail out vote fails, biggest Dow Jones fall ever, Bradford & Bingley nationalised, Hypo Real Estate rescue plan that failed announced.

• Black Monday October 6th? - weekend spent in desperate attempts to save Hypo Real Estate after previous plan fails, desperate Germany guarantees all bank savings, seemingly declaring economic war on Britain, and everyone for themselves.

• more hypo bubble bank collapse at naked capitalism

credit crunch solution - massive expansion in council housing

Governments all over the wanton world are buying up 'toxic' debt which is resulting in the state owning hundreds of thousands of houses and flats occupied by people who can not afford to pay the mortgages. These people are council tenants in all but name so why not just make it official. They can 'part own' what they have already paid for and pay rent on the rest to cover costs including maintenance. As council tenants they have the 'right to buy' in the unlikely event they ever want to, unless someone like Maggie Thatcher persuades them. At a stroke millions of people would be considerably better off in financial terms and released from being wage slaves to the banks .... they will all vote for who ever does this and return to being on an endless spending spree regardless of the consequences, which will enable the banks to start ripping everyone off again, so everything will be back to normal, including increasing asthma for children etc etc

They have almost got the idea in France where the government plans to buy 30,000 houses which have not even been built yet.

• Council house rots as 14,000 more needed.

• In the USA more than 4 million homes are at serious risk of foreclosure according to mish's global economic trends who still hates the French idea on principle.

never trust facebook, especially with your face

Personal data harvesting website Facebook has just opened their Irish international HQ operation. At the same moment the announcement was made public the profile page for the 'Shell to Sea' campaign disappeared, just like they do it in China. Later Facebook said the group had breached Facebook’s terms and conditions. If you look in the small print Facebook terms specifically prohibits trying to save an Irish beach from being turned into an industrial wasteland by Shell oil and annoying the Irish goverment.

mcdonalds "disorder hotspots" say british police

McDonalds outlets "attract a disproportionate atmosphere of disorder" according to police in Camden, London, and they are not just talking about digestion.

Camden's top licensing police officer, Sargent Bob Dear says police were called to the Camden High St branch of McDonalds sixty times last year and fifty times to the Kentish Town branch, while other branches needed help even more often; more than once a week.

The police have joined hundreds of local residents who are opposing McDonalds application to open their Kentish Town food poisoning operation all night.

Perhaps it is no coincidence that the Kentish Town branch of McDonalds is on the infamous 'Murder Mile'.

Further pillaging and looting is expected as Boris Johnson demonstrates what a Tory Government would be like.
