Sarkozy - Hello NATO, Goodbye France
Joe Quinn
Sott.net Mon, 14 Jul 2008 17:16 EDT
That Sarkozy was always going to eviscerate France's tenuous military and political neutrality once he took office should have been obvious to all. Long before he somehow managed to win the 2007 French elections, he was already known as 'Sarko the American' not to mention 'President Bling Bling'. It seems it's just not possible for a French politician to truly admire the American empire builders (as Sarko seems to) and not grovel at their feet. |

Signs Economic Commentary for 14 July 2008
Donald Hunt
SOTT.net Mon, 14 Jul 2008 06:18 EDT
It began on Thursday when the stocks of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac plummeted. Fannie Mae stands for FNMA or the Federal National Mortgage Association and Freddie Mac stands for FHLMC or the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation. In a nutshell they guarantee mortgage debt. $5 trillion of it. Half of all the outstanding mortgage debt in the United States. As long as most mortgage holders are paying their mortgages off, the system works fine and Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac help free up lots more money for new mortgages, making house purchasing available and more affordable for people. But they are publicly traded companies. Their stock price in times like these, where it is not at all certain that people will be able to keep paying on their mortgages, can drop fast. What happens if they crash? Why, the US government steps in and bails them out! But how can even the government guarantee $5 trillion dollars in bad debt?! |

No Taser Deaths In USA?
Grover
Sott.net Wed, 09 Jul 2008 11:40 EDT
I was asked to attend a Citizens Police School as part of our local police department's community outreach program. This program is held a couple times a year and lasts 12 weeks. Although this sort of thing wouldn't normally interest me, given the large amount of bad press the police are getting across the country I decided to sign up in order to learn more, in effect, to do some research. What I discovered left me with the strange urge to check if my passport was still valid. |

Israel's collective psychosis: The denial syndrome
Khalid Amayreh
The Palestinian Information Center Sun, 20 Jul 2008 06:07 EDT
This week, Israel sank in an avalanche of national lethargy, hypocrisy and self-righteousness. Seeking to cope with Hezbullah's success in getting Israel to release all Lebanese prisoners, dead and living, in exchange for the remains of two Israeli soldiers, Israeli leaders, media and shapers of public opinion have been indulging in sanctimonious self-glorification while denouncing the other side as "hateful, uncivilized and representing an inferior culture." This is a characteristic Israeli behavior. It perfectly characterizes a society that has been living in a state of denial ever since Zionist gangs, aided by western powers, succeeded in uprooting the bulk of native Palestinians from Palestine, their ancestral homeland, and implanting therein Israel, a state based on racism, terror, ethnic cleansing and falsification of history. |

The Terrorist Watch List reaches 1,000,665 Names and is still Growing!
Rev. Richard Skaff
Global Research Thu, 17 Jul 2008 16:47 EDT
Are you an activist, an author, a journalist, a patriot, or maybe a scholar who speaks out his or her mind in the defense of democracy? If you are, then, the chance of having your boarding pass stamped with the ominous symbol of "SSSS" on your next flight from the United States is very high. SSSS stands for "selectee for enhanced security screening." That means that Home Land Security and TSA have labeled you as a US citizen-security risk, and used your tax money to transform themselves into your dictators. According to a tally maintained by the ACLU, the nation's terrorist watch list has hit one million names and is still growing by the minute. That is based upon the government's own reported numbers for the size of the list. Members of congress, nuns, war heroes, reverends, former assistant attorney general, ACLU administrator, people with difficult names and all American names like Robert Johnson and Gary Smith, have become caught in the vast tentacle of this list.

Without a Drop of Conscience: Drought and Israeli Policy Threaten West Bank Water Security
Stephen Lendman
SteveLendmanBlog Wed, 16 Jul 2008 06:11 EDT Fresh water is precious everywhere but especially in one of the driest, hottest places on earth - the Middle East. It's why it's a strategic resource and the reason countries like Israel do everything possible to secure a reliable supply. In the words of former prime minister Moshe Sharett: "Water to us is life itself." It shapes Israeli policy going back to the early Mandate period.
A Brief History Post-WW I, Zionists wanted Sykes-Picot borders altered to include the Jordan River, Lower Litani, east coast of the Sea of Galilee and Lower Yarmouk headwaters and tributaries. These affect Palestine, southern Lebanon, Syria and the Jordan Valley. Efforts to secure them fell short because French opposition blocked them. But it didn't prevent further regional hydrological studies. They were needed because by WW II's end accommodating a growing Palestinian and Jewish population grew acute. |
