Imperial Lockstep Full Article CounterPunch 27 Dec 2012
Imperial adventures are nothing new in the Middle East. Neither is their glorification, as Peter O’Toole’s pained Lawrence of Arabia eternally reminds us. But for a decade or so now, things have been heating up, as if to coincide with climate change and fears of declining petroleum reserves. Fuelled by 9/11 and inspired by material avarice, the...

Let's Play: Shogun 2: Total War - Fall Of The Samurai (Shogunate - Obama Clan) Ep. 5 by DiplexHeated
Let's Play: Shogun 2: Total War - Fall Of The Samurai (Shogunate - Obama Clan) Ep. 5 by DiplexHeated
Here you go, the 5th episode of my Obama clan playthrough! Since i fucked up while trying to explain it, here it is in text. "I'm enjoying your Let's Play of FOTS but I feel the need to point out one thing. The Shogunate (and the related clans - such as the Obama Clan in the game) is the pro-Western faction, ruling the country and getting Western advisors to help modernise. The Imperial forces are essentially the revolutionary forces that want to restore the Emperor as the actual head of state (the Shogunate made him more of a symbol - had less power than our Queen does, the Emperor was little more than a puppet at times). These forces are anti-Western as they feel that the traditions of Japan are being eroded by modernisation. Just thought I'd make that point before you reject any more Western advisors as the Obama clan - don't know if there is a negative in game effect - ie the Shogunate gets extremely pissed off with you. Not to criticise, just thought I'd mention it." ___ Twitter: twitter.com Facebook: www.facebook.com Steam: steamcommunity.com

cornel west: obama is "a rockefeller republican in blackface"
cornel west: obama is "a rockefeller republican in blackface"
did west finally wake up to the situation at hand? 'hope' will get you nowhere if you actually want to 'change' anything. west is finally acknowledging that the purpose of obama's selection was not to address the concerns of poverty or class distinctions in this country. the policies put in place have a sole intent to divide. people will focus on the 'blackface' portion of the quote; really though, obama is performing the will of his massas, some who happen to be rockefellers. what is incendiary or inaccurate about west's commentary? www.democracynow.org i WILL say though- there are no major differences between democrats and prepublican on economic policy. both parties outsource jobs and have no real plan for regenerating wealth in this nation, or ensuring that people are supported for providing for themselves. here's west on michael eric dyson, al sharpton and melissa harris-perry (the black people on MSNBC- owned by weapons manufacturer GE): "I love Brother Mike Dyson... but we're living in a society where everybody is up for sale. Everything is up for sale. And he and Brother Sharpton and Sister Melissa and others, they have sold their souls for a mess of Obama pottage. And we invite them back to the black prophetic tradition after Obama leaves. But at the moment, they want insider access, and they want to tell those kind of lies. They want to turn their back to poor and working people." and: "it's morally obscene and spiritually profane to spend $6 billion on an

While Illegally Destroying Libya Over Oil, Obama Won't Bomb Israel To End Brutal Occupation
While Illegally Destroying Libya Over Oil, Obama Won't Bomb Israel To End Brutal Occupation
A UN official has confirmed that Israel's occupation forces have killed more than 1300 Palestinian children during the last decade. According to Prof. Richard Falk, the UN Special Rapporteur for Human Rights in the occupied Palestinian territories, Israeli forces killed 1335 children in direct military operations and arbitrary shootings. He pointed out that 17 children were killed in 2010 alone while collecting stones in the borders areas between Gaza and Israel. They were attempting to help their families rebuild their homes. Israel continues to prevent the import of building material into the Strip without any charge. The UN official who is prevented by Israel from entering the territories to carry out his duties said the prolongation of the occupation's blockade of Gaza and its human rights violations would further damage the mental and physical health of children in the Strip. Falk called on the UN to intensify its efforts to ensure that Israel adheres to international law, emphasising that its persistent failure to do so indicates a programme of systematic killing of Innocent civilians, including children and racial discrimination against the Palestinians. /// Israel accelerates rate of killing Palestinians in early 2011 by Yaniv Reich. Last October, the Israeli human rights organization B'Tselem published a report indicating that Israel murdered, on average, one Palestinian every other day between 2006 and 2009, excluding the attack on Gaza known as Cast Lead that

The British Crown and Wall Street control this monster! Get the facts in this special interview with Lyndon La Rouche MUST SEE! High-level sources in and around Washington, DC have confirmed the story implied by articles appearing in today's Washington Post and New York Times, that putative Democratic Presidential candidate Barack Obama is clinically insane. "Barack Obama has gone from being the presumptive nominee. Now he's becoming the presumptuous nominee," Dana Milbank wrote in a scathing piece in the Washington Post that ridicules Obama's arrogance, megalomania, and paranoia. "He travelled in a bubble more insulating than the actual president's. Traffic was shut down for him, as he zoomed about town in a long column, presidential-style motorcade, while the public and most of the press were kept Barack Obama has compared the left-leaning Occupy Wall Street protests sweeping the country to the right-wing Tea Party movement, saying the two groups are 'not that different'. The President, speaking during the second-day of a three-day tour to promote his ideas for creating jobs, also called for Americans to put pressure on Republican members of Congress to support his legislation, declaring: 'We are in this together.'
