on dKos, trying to pick a fight with Gleen Greenwald re:Libya.
Well, I have been following this a bit (Libya, not US pundits of the New Left) and according to my impression, the 3 major war criminals were, in this order per suspected number of civilan dead:
1. Gadaffi regime, in trying to suppress popular dissent,
2. Gaddafi, in giving personal order to get all N-words out on the Mediteranean, northbound. In Libyan craft, meaning they used the most unseaworthy and old they … read more
Actually, it’s a folk myth[de:].
The crazyshitness quota is quite high[de:] these days, as you have heard. If they will talk of the 21st century world revolution afterwards, we’re already in it. It is quite unlikely that this can be stomped out anytime soon. Particularly since the hottest years of this decade are yet to come (remember the temperature curve lags about one year after the radiation curve).
As a side note, 2013 is the year of the scheduled Federal elex. However, … read more
I talked to a fuckload of anonymous Arabs in the last 2 months. And I can vouch for one thing: these people know perfectly well that they cannot rely on Western governments’ sweet-talk. But they simply want their dictators to go down down down, dammit and inshaAllah.
And they go and try to do that. And people die in the process.
Some of the people I chatted with, as a matter of fact, are dead now, killed by some dictator’s … read more
Watch:
Guy looks like he was from inland the Horn. Sudan, Eritrea. Perhaps Ethiopia, Somalia, Chad, northern Kenya. Djibouti of course. Probably not Jemen, but might even be Saudi.
Peace to those who brought us this video.
Also peace to those who documented events in Zhaiqiao Village, Puqi Town, Yueqing City (People’s Republic of China) on Dec. 25th, 2010. This is what happened.
So, revisiting the river valley overlooked by Hill 431, where two nights before the CinC[*] and his “publisher of a major newspaper” friend went to their little outing.
While the Minister was back in Berlin getting 80% of the major media pissed off mightily (and one Mr. Wonka of the Leipziger Volkszeitung[de:] presumably shitlisted — watch 1:20 to 1:32 and 1:50 here:)
some Afghan guy who presumably will forever remain nameless had decided to take matters in his own hands — alas, … read more

Dax floating free above the train wreck (but still within grund effect I presume — TINA was a capitalist whore all along after all). DJIA is so-so, definitely not off the ground. N225 remains groundbound essentially.
Them sandniggers are getting restive, and neither Sammy not Johnny (nor the Kaiser nor anyone else) can seem to hold them at bay. Too bad too that it’s … read more
I was about to write “DAX smashes 6.5K, rising and holding.” Well I presume it will try to hold, and probably manage to hold on for a few. But we’ll have to see and wait, wait how this Ireland/Portugal/Cyprus thing turns out.
This, by the way, will give you an indication of the sheer size of it all. When did you first hear about the “Celtic Tiger”’s problems? Some time ago, you may distantly remember.
Well, that’s how long it took. Gauges … read more
(My Portuguese may suck; I apologize. I am barely able to grasp the basic rules, and have been forced to do so by necessity alone.)
There is a lot of talk these days about admigration. Google knoweth not that word, yet Germany does[*]. We do not know, or have, “immigration”, except in the negative: Germany is not, and will never be, a country of immigration. Or so it has been said.
The following quotes are, à votre plaisir, rendered into English trying … read more
It will be pretty interesting to see how Capitalism will digest that Greece thingy. And to see how many of the PIIIGGS will go down before this is over.
In any case, those that had already deadsaid Teh Kryzys[en:/pl:] stand corrected.
Big things do need a lot of time to proceed after all. And it is not like we could not have told that this’ll take some time, ね?

“Gutti“’s conception of things military must have been heavily influenced by his clan’s ancestor worship of his great-great-uncle. After all, Karl Ludwig was the Good Nazi[de:] of the von und zu Guttenbergs, and many of us Germans did not have even remotely good Nazi ((great-)grand)fathers at all. Mine were both moderately to fairly serious assholes for example. Not involved in exceptional brutality, but definitely eager cogs in the machine til the end, and that is about average. But Karl Ludwig … read more
All this is severely shocking for das deutsche Volk of course, given that it has been less than one week since the dead of not-at-all-Good Friday were buried. But that’s life in Afghanistan for you, and it is not like the locals would be given much of a respite by any party in this disgusting war splendid little thing that colloquially might be called “war” by some either. And if you think: “at least it has been going for a … read more
Actually, no[de:].
They had been long Arified through and through, and as far as I can think of, entirely voluntarily. Certainly, not a single dirty smelly money-grabbing Jew had any major say about it even before the Nazis, and by 1945 it had itself completely whored[de:] out to the highest bidder.
They flaunt their Jew heritage, possibly because after haShoah, things Jewish have the attractiveness of things taboo in Germany. But I presume they were Catholic[de:] in “modern” times — if anything … read more
(Too pissed off of the universe to add links right now, also need to run some PCR 2mo’. Maybe l8r.)
A month as uneventful as it was full of summer heat and monochrome karma.
Kim the Lesser’s guys have assembled some more rockets in NKorea and are showing off. Everybody is pissed, except the NKoreans, who are partly elated and partly… … I don’t expect it to matter to their daily lives too much.

Back to Part 1
And then the topic turned to a plane that was flying in a no-fly zone near to Camp David and heading towards Site R. I had no idea what Site R was. And to me Camp David was a place where George Bush went on vacation. I didn’t know any more than that.
And now the topic is getting really interesting. As will become clear, this plane is most likely Flight United 93.

since, oh IONO… mid-September 2001 perhaps?
Maybe. Maybe not. We shall see.
Until then, thanks to the 9/11 conspi folks for their continuous asinine lobbying; had they chosen to fight that what the shruBskis were in fact perpetrating, the world might very very well habe been spared 4 more years that were mostly like gang raping for virginity. Oh, and also many “thanks” for making the pretty flowers grow (and the corals — as well as others — die).
You guys suck. Some … read more
I missed Lafo’s speech, but I could hear the boos’ and cat-calls’ echo:

FAU anarcho-syndicalist union in front of the HeLaBa HQ.The Hessische Landesbank is another example for why "socialize the banks!" cannot much resolve this mess.

Now, here we have a document titled
NATO IN AFGHANISTAN
MASTER NARRATIVE AS AT 6 October 2008
A bit obsolete, but nonetheless… It is part of a batch of documents liberated by the good people at Wikileaks. As they dryly remark,
The encryption password is progress, which perhaps reflects the Pentagon’s desire to stay on-message, even to itself.
Said “password” also “encrypted” the three other documents. Note that Wikileaks is intelligent enough not to submit the password of one Chris Riley, to whom the … read more
The DAX made a brave attempt at recovery yesterday, but the DJIA was, for the time being, malade. So the N225’s attempt to pass on the hot potato and hope for a transatlantic recovery had not quite worked. Especially as it pulled itself above 7.5K, only for the DAX to come down in flames over the whole Opel and AIG and the Citi and whatnot mess.
(Note that to make up for a loss, you need to gain more percentiles than … read more
Some mixed odds’n’ends…
“No police officers will be prosecuted over the death of Jean Charles de Menezes, Crown prosecutors Service say.”(BBC, February 13th 2009)
Those were strange days, back in 2005. For a conspi take that is at the same time kooky and rather interesting in an unJonesian way, try 7/7: The Ripple Effect. It seems certain from the weight of evidence that some MetPol honchos were investigating rumours of an upcoming attack on some Israeli interest, although the question of whether … read more
Al-Arabiya.
Who’d have thunk? Nice.
I remember the scenery as seen on TV — after 1991, there was a time where war was CNN, and CNN was war. And there was no Web where I lived, and the nights of war were green in colour.
An arid landscape, yellow and ruddy hues. Stark sunlight. Acacias. The December 9th 1992 nighttime photo op, Navy LCAC running up on an Indian Ocean shore. I was very much into naval technology then, and took due note that for … read more

“… the biggest regret of all the presidency has to have been the intelligence failure in Iraq.”
(George W. Bush, December 1st, 2008)
No.
The biggest regret — the only regret — is that Barbara Pierce Bush did not, shortly after V-J Day, speak the magic words:
“George Herbert Walker, pull out before you cum.”
At the 2009 EU parliamentary elections, you may well be able to vote for a CIA enterprise.

The June 12th, 2008 plebiscite about the Twenty-eighth Amendment of the Constitution of [the Republic of] Ireland Bill yielded a resounding No. One very happy miltech entrepreneur was Declan James Ganley of Watford, Hertfordshire (England), who got himself a big gift when about 28-28.5% of … read more
“[... Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant will be operational by 2009 ...]”
Spokesman Mohsen Delavizi, Atomic Energy Organization of Iran. November 18th 2008
n-tv gives some details[de:] IRNA lacks; I have no idea where they got it from. Al-Jazeera does not carry the news yet. Neither does CNN. In any case, the Germans claim that they’re doing final outfitting in Bushehr as of now and adds a “we hope” before the quote above.
I observe: there is not a cratered landscape littered with debris … read more
I won’t discuss the G20 meeting, as it’s gonna be all over the papers.
Markets have slid nervously, are rather volatile and partly decoupled. The reaction on the G20 meeting, I suppose, will be unison. As the DJIA has left last week in a pessimistic mood after a good start, the N225 has actually a chance to pull quite far ahead of it. I do not know whether this matters in the long run; I suppose not.
FRG Minister of the Interior … read more
