POPSUS Government Takes On Six Trillion Dollars of Bad Debt
This is like a bank robbery. Wall St. & Congress have conspired in the largest stealing of tax dollars in US History. This equals all the other failures of Bush/Cheeney and their cohorts. In comparrison, five (5) years messing over Iraq -- who had nothing to do with 9/11 or WMD's -- has yet to cost a trillion dollars, while this government bailout takes on liability for SIX trillion dollars,,, ... buying all these bad debt mortgage loans to save banker's butts and passing on that debt to tax payers. This should be no surprise. It's like FEMA in New Orleans. It's like starting a war for false reasons. It's like letting bin Laden run around alive and free. It's like running out of money to build and repair roads and bridges. It's like joblessness hitting the highest levels in five years. It's our country going down the tubes, whether for Wall St. bankers, Oil companies, or the interests of Israel. Bend over America, this is the final screw job of evil profiteers dest

POPSJerusalem rabbi school killings. UN condemn? I agree with Libya and the others who stopped this from becoming a one-sided resolution (despite the support of Canada, the USA and the EU). Why was there no move for such a UN resolution last week when Israeli killed 120 Palestinians civilians?? Or why no such resolution when that Russian school was taken over and many killed a few years ago. Why not a resolution about school shooting in the USA and other nations by deranged individuals? The POINT is we have an undue and excessive focus on Israel and are totally one-sided in our attitudes. Are 120 Palestinian dead last week somehow less important than 8 Israeli dead this week? Israel invaded these Arab lands in 1947, if you don't know, and one of the consequences of 60 years of invasion is hate, war, and murder. And as Canada, the USA and the EU watch over a million people in Gaza being starved to death in front of our eyes the UN does nothing. Now the UN is concerned?

POPSGaza goes dark. Food supplies limited. Gads: Collective punishment. Apartheid. The slow starvation of over a million people right in front of our eyes. And Bush just returned from Israel last week, with all the bull*hit words of yada yada blagh blagh peace bull*shit they've been feeding us for decades. The elections can come soon enough. Sorry Gaza. Really sorry.

POPSLatest Pretense for Two-State Solution & Middle East Peace Here's how Israel's 'fart-in-your-face" diplomacy works: A week before the Great Decider/The Peacemaker George Bush arrives (and this was done last year with Coni Rice's visit, and the year before that, etc.) -- well, a week before the start of the Great Peace Deal, Israel expands it's settlements, it starts construction in the Arab half of Jerusalem, it announces there is no Arab half of Jerusalem, it shuts off fuel deliveries and electricity to Gaza, tightens the blocakde and progresses with the slow starvation of over a million people right in front of our eyes, continues with collective punishment attacking whole vilages for the actions of a few. It then gets a deal, part of which the Arabs give up something (right of return) and the part of the deal where they have to give up something (the expansion beyond the 67 borders) is never honored, never intended to be honor, and will later be defaulted due to "ongoing Arab terrorism." (i.e. one suicide bomber, or whatever).

POPSHardships increase in isolated Gaza The focus of the article is actually about how students enrolled in foreign schools (in the USA, EU, etc.) are not allowed to leave the country to go to school. Nobody is allowed into Gaza. Nobody is allowed out., Food, medical supplies, electricity and gas, etc. are all restricted. There's a good dose of propaganda in the article too. Some group in Israel claims to be taking this to the Supreme Court (yippie!) and a government spokesmen promises that what he calls a "humanitarian crisis," will not be allowed to happen.

POPSSaudis' claim Brits/Yanks ignored warnings of terrorist attacks. Humm...If you cut this statement down to the minimalist bone it says, as a bottom line, I believe: "We (the Saudis) knew about these upcoming terrorist attacks)" It also says the Brits were clearly warned and in some twisted words implies the USA, at the least, 'could have been,' warned. Further conclusions are hard to decipher, at this time apparently lost in twisted words with uncertain meanings, diplomatic hints rather than facts, opposing statements by British and USA spokespeople, the filtering of the media and maybe even language nuances. Having said all that, yea...this is the truth. The Arabs knew. Israel knew. The USA deliberately avoided knowing. This is the "real," conspiracy of 9/11 (and apparently the London train bombings) and all the other 'conspiracies,' are just fake distractions and deliberate exaggerations to avoid getting to this 'real,' conspiracy OF ALLOWING THE ATTACK TO HAPPEN. (Um...This was also true for Pearl Harbor; intel of attack ignored);

POPSGaza power cut off: Collective punishment This is an act of slow, deliberate genocide not to mention icollective punishment. It's like having your electricity, water supplies, food and medical supplies all slowly reduced and strangled because someone else robbed a bank. Hideous behavior. Unjust. So while the US was debating about Armenian genocide a 100 years ago we ignore the genocide right before our eyes. While this goes on, also the US threatens war on allegations and accusations that Iran intends to have a nuclear weapon in 3 or 4 or 5 years while Iran denies U.S. accusations that its uranium enrichment program is aimed at developing nuclear weapons, saying it is only for civilian energy purposes. The mantra: Iran has nuclear weapon ambitons while the lies of Weapons of Mass Destruction still echo in our ears!? Asking for justice here is like sheep asking wolves for mercy. We need to elect better leaders and kick these bad leaders out of their jobs. http://www.americancitizenstogether.org

POPSTurkey to invade Iraq A couple of things come to mind: 1. Since we can't stop the war we might as well enjoy it's interesting twists and turns. 2. The USA politicians and TV Talking Heads act as if they are God and omnipotently declaring: 'Let's take out Iran." -- "Not an invasion but surgical strikes," etc. -- but there are other forces and factors involved 3. Much like Vietnam the war may finally end by the North Vietnamese army overrunning Saigon in 1975 and that was when finally the last USA troops were out. It seems when an enemy has invaded one of your outposts or cities it doesn't take as long to get out as current politicians suggest. So now we are bombarded with all the claims and complaints of Iran 'killing Americans,' (or having nuclear weapons)...soon we can have a Turkish invasion. The terrorist and anti-American forces in Saudia Arabia will keep pouring in funds...Israel can come in and blow something up. The fun has just begun. Meanwhile, the USA can control it's own borders

POPSRead My Lips, Ahmadinejad may have to say. Thanks God we've finally got to hear the truth, directly. Ahmadinejad said the Holocasut happened, so I hope we never have to hear that again. He also did not say Israel should be "wiped off the map," but rather that he's concerned about Palestinian suffering and believe there's need for a 'vote,' on rsesolution of the issue, a vote which includes the Palestian people. Gosh, I wonder if we have been fed propaganda, like WMD's, etc. All the Talking Heads and Cheap Shots have been about the Columbia president's rude introduction. whether he should have been allowed to speak, etc. But the substance is the issues and to make it clear, he said: 1. Holocaust did happen 2. Palestanians are suffering and need to work democraticaly together with Israel. Of course, he has the nerve to add: "The Holocaust happen in EUROPE, and what does it have to do with the Middle East, Iran and the current issues? Fair enough, iIMHO. Jews deny Jesus. Should we nuke 'em for that? NO. & no Holo

POPSIsrael Screws Gaza Again. Rice Offers Charade for Peace As we see this collective punishment and genocide happen in front of our very own eyes it's dawning more and more on me that 'being respectful,' or going along with the wordplay, charades and pretenses of our government can no longer be a viable option: They are warmongers full of hate, lies, excuses and one charade after another. Plus, the blantant Israeli insult of even the USA pretenses for Israeli-Palestinian peace or solution is too rude to tolerate. While Sec. of State Condi Rice is in the air, flying to Israel to pretend to talk about peace, Israel makes it clear that it's increasing it's hostilities. !? Thinking about this I've realized that although it may seem small but the Only Way to avoid COMPLICITY in this genocide...in the Senate's today's support of indefinite detention, tortune, etc. is simply: TO SPEAK OUT. We often can't change things. But SILENCE would be supporting these policies. So...speak out. Say something to someone.

POPSIran offers concrete suggestion for reducting tensions Unfortunately the never-ending propaganda never ends so the quotes of Ahmadinejad are once again reported poorly. Frequently I don't think we hear what he is actually saying. But one thing was made clear: He said: everything would be solved" if the Palestinian people were allowed to vote on their fate." Of course, he does continue to say Israel is an aggressive nation, invaders and cruel. While deny again and again phony WMD allegation he wonders, though: "Your bombs are good but our bombs would be bad?"

POPSIra Dang...I guess this is what is called "peace," although I was personally hoping that because the war was mobilized on deliberately fabricated lies that perhaps we should just end it completely. Apparently less than 25% of the USA people feel this way. More apparently, it seems the 'fix is on,' and the desires of Oil companies and Israel rule. http://www.americancitizenstogether.org I still think we should impeach the bastards, starting with Cheney. Then we have to work hard in the primaries to elect better leaders, trying to get real people who believe in real peace and not just the ongoing occupation that was the Big Plan to begin with (and the subsequent war with Iran). Plus, we can start recall drives against all the politicians we can, starting with the worst of them. This will help kick out some of the warmongers or pacified status quo puppets. This is real action. I'm not pacified yet. I'm not into being "reasonable." I'm not into being sucked down this sick war

POPSZionist seek to shut down discussions and writings The authors, two well-respected professors from big name universities, are now being portrayed and anti-Jewish racist. It's like what happen to former President Carter when he wrote: "Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid." Yet, amazingly, nearly everybody knows this is true: pro-Israeli lobbying dominates US foreign policy. The additional point is made that this is not good for America, although the authors, trying to remain reasonable, point out that they also feel the lobbying by the Cuban groups, the tobacco companies, oil companies, etc. also has extreme influence on USA policies and is also not good for the country. "Not only is Israeli policy and lobbying fatally flawed," the authors say, "but USA policy is also fatally flawed." What could be a more reasonable observation than that? The real pickle is...the real kosher pickle we're sucking on is that saying this is forbidden fruit and leads to insults and injury (in jobs, etc.). Yup, the kosher pickle is forbidden f

POPSAnother Israel-Palestinian Resolution or Failure It doesn't look like there is any good faith for a peace settlement, the working towards a "Two (2) State solution here at all. The Palestinians elected a government. Israel says it's no good and won't talk to them. Maybe Israel could shift away from this particular head-butting and show some good faith by removing the agreed upon illegal settlements? Israel even says they are illegal, so, let's see some action and some good faith instead of just refusal to talk. Does Isreal have a Peace Proposal.? Let's see it. All I keep hearing is how all the other proposals from others are no good. Of course, suggesting these ideas is really nonsense, since Israel has no intentions of a "two (2) state solution; is in denial about it's practice of apartheid; has built a wall all international authorities declare illegal (Have you seen pics of this wall!), is threatening nuclear war against Iran, and has no intention, NEVER has had any intention of stopping it's invasion and occupation of Arab la
