America in Search of Navigational Change
Dr. Mahboob A. Khawaja
“The United States of America have exhibited, perhaps, the first example of governments erected on the simple principles of nature; and if men are now sufficiently enlightened to disabuse themselves of artifice, imposture, hypocrisy, and superstition, they will consider this event as an era in their history. It will never be pretended that any persons employed in that service [forming the U.S. government] had interviews with the gods, or were in any degree under the influence of Heaven, more than those at work upon ships or houses, or laboring in merchandise or agriculture; it will forever be acknowledged that these governments were contrived merely by the use of reason and the senses. Thirteen governments [of the original states] thus founded on the natural authority of the people alone, without a pretence of miracle or mystery are a great point gained in favor of the rights of mankind” John Adams, A Defense of the Constitutions of Government of the United States of America, 1787-88:
Healthcare Solution: Eliminate the Middleman.
"Tony Soldo"
Obamacare is not socialized medical Heathcare, it is Capitalized Heathcare.
Obamacare will increase the profits of all healthcare corporations, with insurance companies being the biggest winner.
Every single person will become an unwilling consumer of health insurance.
This is a Capitalist's dream come true.
The simplest and best solution to the healthcare issue is a Nationalized, Single Payer Health Care system, NHS.
Wall Street Bosses Run America
by Stephen Lendman
They're more powerful than standing armies. What they say goes. They decide policy. They rule the world. They do it by controlling money, credit and debt.
They manipulate markets for self-enrichment. Grand theft is official Wall Street policy. Government officials wink, nod, and permit the grandest of grand larceny to persist.
Financial giants recycle their executives in and out of Washington. They strip-mine economies for profit. They buy politicians like toothpaste. Whatever they want they get.
They do it at the expense of government of, by and for everyone equitably and just.
On October 2, 15 financial lords met with Obama. They did so at the White House. They gave him their marching orders.
They came to assert their demands. They're uncompromising. They're ruthless. They want business as usual continued. They want more than ever.

On October 8, Lynne turns 74. She'll add a year behind bars. She'll do it for devoting her life to helping others.
Is Homeland Security Preparing for the Next Wall Street Collapse?
by Ellen Brown
Reports are that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is engaged in a massive, covert military buildup. An article in the Associated Press in February confirmed an open purchase order by DHS for 1.6 billion rounds of ammunition. According to an op-ed in Forbes, that’s enough to sustain an Iraq-sized war for over twenty years. DHS has also acquired heavily armored tanks, which have been seen roaming the streets. Evidently somebody in government is expecting some serious civil unrest. The question is, why?
Recently revealed statements by former UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown at the height of the banking crisis in October 2008 could give some insights into that question. An article on BBC News on September 21, 2013, drew from an explosive autobiography called Power Trip by Brown’s spin doctor Damian McBride, who said the prime minister was worried that law and order could collapse during the financial crisis. McBride quoted Brown as saying:
If the banks are shutting their doors, and the cash points aren’t working, and people go to Tesco [a grocery chain] and their cards aren’t being accepted, the whole thing will just explode.
Government Shutdown Careens Toward Oct. 17 U.S. Debt Blowout
by Dennis Small
Other than LaRouche PAC, no signs of sanity have emerged in Washington, D.C. over the last 24 hours on the government shutdown. If anything, the two sides are more entrenched, reaching new heights of sophistry, and with no serious discussion of economic policy underway. Moreover, the shutdown crisis, now in its second day, is currently leading seamlessly towards a U.S. government default crisis as early as Oct. 17, when the debt ceiling will be reached. Judging by his actions, President Obama seems perfectly content to let the shutdown continue, and to bring on a default as well.But, as Lyndon LaRouche emphasized in discussions on Tuesday evening, this is not simply a budgetary crisis, or a debt crisis, or a political crisis. "It's inherently a breakdown crisis. There is no way this is going to be solved in a normal sense." The only "easy" solution is to implement LaRouche's full Glass-Steagall program, to pave the way towards a global renaissance around a fusion economy. Nothing else will work.
Police in America: Licensed to Kill
by Stephen Lendman
Miriam Carey is the latest victim. She deserved to live, not die. More on her below.
Incidents occur daily across America. Blacks and Latinos are most vulnerable. Police shoot innocent suspects for any reason or none all.
Rarely are officers or their superiors held accountable. On average, US police kill one or two people daily. Most often, incidents go unnoticed.
Violence in America is systemic. Previous articles discussed it. America glorifies wars. It does so in the name of peace.It has by far the highest homicide rate among all developed nations. It's obsessed with owning guns. Violent films are some of the most popular. So are similar video games. Peace, stability and security are convenient illusions. Imperial wars and domestic violence crowd them out.
FBI Lawless Unaccountability
by Stephen Lendman
NSA and CIA aren't America's only rogue agencies. The FBI's been around since 1908. From 1924 - 1972, J. Edgar Hoover ran it.
He did so extrajudicially. He did repressively. He waged war on freedom. He defended capital's divine right. He trashed democratic values.
He targeted alleged communists, anti-war, human and civil rights activists, political dissidents, the American Indian Movement, and Black Panther Party among other groups and individuals.
He did it no-holds-barred. So did his successors. Harassment, intimidation, false accusations, disinformation, and political assassinations are common agency practice.
Search Engine Manipulation: Google and YouTube Suppress Controversial 9/11 Truth?
By Elizabeth Woodworth
With polls consistently showing that approximately 50% of Canadians and Americans doubt the official story of 9/11, the feat of keeping the lid on a public debate for over 12 years has been nothing short of miraculous.
This article presents a simple case study showing that this miracle is being performed with the assistance of Google and YouTube search engine interference.
On September 8, 2013, the popular Russia Today “Truthseeker” program, with over a million subscribers on YouTube,[1] published a 13-minute newscast entitled “The Truthseeker: 9/11 and Operation Gladio (E23).”
“Pretending that one can dissociate torture from war or abjection from massacre is the lie of the powerful”, ‘Ordinary Victories’ by Manu Larcenet
via chycho
One of the most amazing aspects of the resource wars is that within their own countries, most western powers have been able to stifle opposition for their participation, not to mention being able to suppress any real criticism of how they conduct themselves based on the laws of war.
“Everyone must be entitled to benefit from fundamental judicial guarantees. No one must be sentenced without previous judgment pronounced by a regularly constituted court. No one must be held responsible for an act he has not committed. No one must be subjected to physical or mental torture, corporal punishment or cruel or degrading treatment.”
Let’s take France as an example since it appears to have the backing of its citizens in taking the lead role in the recent wars which are set to determine the future of Africa.
