POPSIs Lockerbie Gordon Brown’s Watergate? The Lockerbie affair is an ugly can of worms that is slowly opening up. Is the Lockerbie scandal big enough to force an early exit by Gordon Brown, or at the very least the resignation of senior government ministers? Definitely. If it turns out that Brown or his ministers have deliberately misled the British public over the matter, it could prove to be a Watergate moment for the Prime Minister and force him to step down or spark a leadership challenge within the Labour Party.

POPSDiscord Grows Over Public HealthCare Plan An analysis by the Lewin Group, a health care consulting firm, found that a public plan such as Medicare would draw 119 million people away from private insurers. That's because a plan patterned after Medicare could pay doctors and hospitals 20% to 30% less than its private competitors.

POPSNetanyahu "9/11 Benefited Israel". Follow the Money Former PM of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu claims 9/11 has been beneficial for Israel. This adds to the conspiracy theory as to Israel's involvement in that awful event. Is 9/11 just USS Liberty on a larger scale. After al, Israel has not looked back since attempting to blast USS Liberty out of the water intending the US to attack Egypt then. Now is has been Afghanistan and Iraq with Iran lined up as the next Zionist target. Follow the money. Naomi Klein's article indicates clearly that the main beneficiary of 9/11 after the US 'contractor' firm has been Israel. Apartheid security is now synonymous with Israel. Fences, drones, torture and interrogation technology, and on and on are all Israeli earners. Having UK police fire 7 rounds into a Brazilian's head is all due to Israeli training. Death is their trade. They've had the practice and it's paying off big.

POPSA Coalition of the Co-Opted, the Corrupted and the Coerced: Joe Wilson
"In the absence of international consensus, the Bush administration relied on a coalition of what I call the co-opted, the corrupted and the coerced: those who benefited financially from their involvement, those who benefited politically from their involvement and those few who determined that their relationship with the US was more important than their relationship with anybody else.There is no underlying international legitimacy that sustains us throughout this action" "The increasing use of contractors makes wars easier to begin and to fight - it just takes money and not the citizenry," says Ratner, president of the Center for Constitutional Rights, who sued private contractors for alleged human rights violations. "To the extent a population is called upon to go to war, there is a necessary resistance to prevent wars of self-aggrandizement, foolish wars and in the case of the US, hegemonic imperialist wars. Think about Rome and its increasing need for mercenaries."
