POPSNeocons and the truth: Bitter enemies to the end From the article: In late 2006, I wrote about virtually identical deceit from this same group, that time with regard to Iraq. On National Review in December of 2006, Ledeen -- just as the Beltway establishment was finally turning against the war in Iraq and in the wake of a lengthy Vanity Fair article identifying the neocons who were to blame -- claimed: "I opposed the military invasion of Iraq before it took place."

POPSSites moved into a PageRank Goolag? Not that this is the first eerie thing that Google has done with its massive power over information control, but it certainly is attention-grabbing. The pravda from Google is that those who sell paid links mess with their search engine algorithms, therefore you should only participate in the official sanctioned, Googlegrad-approved AdWords program, a convenient and effective way to distribute money from your bank account into the stock value of GOOG , which as we know is good for the whole of the Internet. Google is always looking out for the Internet's best interests. Google is more than just a friend. Google is your mentor. Do not be seduced by the rotten bourgeois ideology of the warmongering capitalist blogger jackal! Google: We Won't Let You Make A Bad Link (TM). See:

POPSJewish mother stops Son enlisting in occupation IDF army. On the 16th of January, an Israeli soldier shot his nine year old daughter, Abir, in the head as she was leaving school to go home. The soldier will not spend an hour in jail. In Israel, soldiers are not imprisoned for killing Arabs. Never. It does not matter whether the Arabs are young or old, real or potential terrorists, peaceful demonstrators or stone throwers. The army has not conducted an inquiry in Abir Aramin's death. The police and the courts have questioned no one except for Abir's sister, who was holding her hand while she was falling. The young sister was asked time and again how many meters were they from the school gate, from the kiosk, from the jeep.

POPSFear and Loathing in Middle America
More: Lucky for us, Bageant didn't hop on the next plane back west, and didn't chalk it all up to a terrible, misconstrued nostalgia. Instead, he stuck to his guns -- literally -- and tried to understand why people in his part of the country, people he genuinely loves despite his utter detestation of their politics, are so dyed-in-the-wool conservative that it'd take the Apocalypse to prize them away from supporting George W. Bush. "In the days before the spine of the labor movement was crushed, back when you could be a gun owner and a liberal without any conflict, members of the political left supported these workers, stood on the lines taking beatings at the plant gates alongside them," he argues. "Now there is practically no labor movement, and large numbers on the left are comfortably ensconced in the true middle class... From that vantage point, liberals currently view working whites as angry, warmongering bigots, happy pawns of the American empire -- which begs the questions

POPSTen More Years for the Surge to Work? This whole article is worth it, along with the 200 comments it's gotten in half a day. I believe a serious, legal, democratic challenge to the Status Quo needs to be made by the direct action of people: Start Recall Drives against Republican governors, since Republicans are the most warmongering party, since the White House contines to talk and act on expanding the wars in the Middle East and Iran, and since our politicians refuse to start impeachments (Cheney first!). I wish my state was one of the seven where this is possible, but it is not. For more details, check out: http;//www.americancitizenstogether.org
