The U.S. military has confirmed the authenticity of newly-released video showing U.S. forces indiscriminately firing on Iraqi civilians. On Monday, the website WikiLeaks.org posted footage taken from a U.S. military helicopter in July 2007 as it killed twelve people and wounded two children. The dead included two employees of the Reuters news agency, photographer Namir Noor-Eldeen and driver Saeed Chmagh. We speak with WikiLeaks co-founder Julian Assange and Salon.com blogger Glenn Greenwald.
Massacre Caught on Tape: U.S. Military Confirms Authenticity of Their Own Chilling Video Showing Killing of Journalists
BD: You know what no one's saying about that Wikileaks video? Why did the helicopter open fire on people walking casually who definitely heard and saw the helicopter? If the helicopter was within firing distance, these people definitely saw and heard the helicopter and weren't running or shooting at the helicopter. Then why did the helicopter open fire on people walking casually down the street?
Another story, even MORE shocking - you're $2.5 BILLION taxpayer dollars per week at work in YOUR name:
US-led forces have admitted for the first time to killing two pregnant Afghan women and a teenage girl, during a nighttime raid in eastern Afghanistan on February 12th. NATO officials initially denied any involvement but were later forced to admit to the killings after the Times of London and other news outlets published accounts of survivors who described how the atrocity was carried out by US-led forces. We speak with Jerome Starkey, the Times of London correspondent in Afghanistan who broke the story.

U.S. military people now saying Israel/Mossad did 9/11:
Kevin Barrett interviews Alan Sabrosky whose forceful and unequivocal statement that the Israeli Mossad did 9/11 sent shock waves through the 9/11 truth movement. Some have cheered his forthright honesty and heartfelt sincerity. Others are afraid of the PR blowback. A few have attacked Sabrosky, calling him a provocateur or even an anti-Semite, which seems odd since Sabrosky is part Jewish and obviously concerned for the welfare of Jewish Americans in the coming post-9/11-truth world.

ExxonMobil paid no federal income tax in 2009.
ReplyDeleteLast week, Forbes magazine published what the top U.S. corporations paid in taxes last year. “Most egregious,” Forbes notes, is General Electric, which “generated $10.3 billion in pretax income, but ended up owing nothing to Uncle Sam. In fact, it recorded a tax benefit of $1.1 billion.” Big Oil giant Exxon Mobil, which last year reported a record $45.2 billion profit, paid the most taxes of any corporation, but none of it went to the IRS:
Exxon tries to limit the tax pain with the help of 20 wholly owned subsidiaries domiciled in the Bahamas, Bermuda and the Cayman Islands that (legally) shelter the cash flow from operations in the likes of Angola, Azerbaijan and Abu Dhabi. No wonder that of $15 billion in income taxes last year, Exxon paid none of it to Uncle Sam, and has tens of billions in earnings permanently reinvested overseas.
Mother Jones’ Adam Weinstein notes that, despite benefiting from corporate welfare in the U.S., Exxon complains about paying high taxes, claiming that it threatens energy innovation research. Pat Garofalo at the Wonk Room notes that big corporations’ tax shelter practices similar to Exxon’s shift a $100 billion annual tax burden onto U.S. taxpayers. In fact, in 2008, the Government Accountability Office found that “two out of every three United States corporations paid no federal income taxes from 1998 through 2005.”

This tax season will be kind to Bank of America and Wells Fargo: It appears that neither bank will have to pay federal income taxes for 2009.
ReplyDeleteBank of America probably won't pay federal taxes because it lost money in the U.S. for the year. Wells Fargo was profitable, but can write down its tax bill because of losses at Wachovia, which it rescued from a near collapse.
The idea of the country's No. 1 and No. 4 banks not paying federal income taxes may be anathema to millions of Americans who are grumbling as they fill out their own tax forms this month. But tax experts say the banks' situation is hardly unique.
"Oh, yeah, this happens all the time," said Robert Willens, an expert on tax accounting who runs a New York firm with the same name. "Especially now, with companies suffering such severe losses."

Hey, Thanks for the Alexis Korner video. I had forgot all about him!
ReplyDeleteFrom Wiki - In 1961, Korner and [Cyril] Davies formed Blues Incorporated, initially a loose-knit group of musicians with a shared love of electric blues and R&B music. The group included, at various times, such influential musicians as Charlie Watts, Jack Bruce, Ginger Baker, Long John Baldry, Graham Bond, Danny Thompson and Dick Heckstall-Smith.
What a lineup!
Dick Heckstall-Smith - played 2 saxophones at the same time!

ReplyDeleteWe went to ALDI's today, I posted about ALDI's before, it's the cheapest grocery store going. They have this dip they make, artichoke/garlic dip. It's 100% natural and tastes homemade. This girl at ALDI's said, "You're going to be drinking that", and I laughed. Then I got home, and it was so good, I drank the bottom of it and laughed again, thinking about what that girl said.
ReplyDeleteThe Illustrated Tea Party Dictionary

Look: I went to a Tea Party in Wilkes-Barre, and they're all a bunch of hicks. It's not like I don't know first hand. And I know the Tea Partiers who call into our local radio show, and they're all FOX news-ites and Rush Limbaugh fans. ALL of them!
Did you ever see stories about idiots who try and feed bears because they're so cute on TV? Oh, they're nice! Go to a Tea Party and say something different than what they're saying, if you think, "Oh! They're not like that! etc..."
ReplyDeleteThat's like this radio show shill on our local WILK. He goes around saying he's a liberal. A real LEFT of LEFT liberal. But he voted for McCain/Palin, he has on only Republican guests, he yucks it up with them, when they make fun of anyone who's not a Republican, he ONLY bashes non-Republicans. He devotes entire shows to this. He never talks about single payer, the wars, etc...
ReplyDeleteTHEN HE'S NOT A FUCKING LIBERAL!!! People have got to stop doing this!!!!!!! That's actually being a provocateur.
There is no such thing as a Tea Partier that is for single payer.
ReplyDeleteYou know what no one's saying about that Wikileaks video? The shots were from a helicopter, right? Well, the video shows these guys walking causually down the street. They definitely knew there was a helicopter, so therefore they didn't think the helicopter was going to shoot at them, and they definitely weren't shooting at the helicopter.
ReplyDeleteCorrect?
Those helicopters can be standing off two miles or so and get those images and kill the innocents. Not certain of their range, but the ticket to using these choppers without inflicting return fire is to do so from a distance. I think you'd be stunned to learn how far away they can be and still kill someone, who never knew what hit them.
ReplyDeleteLook where else my "Media Blackout" article was picked up:

I posted about ALDI's a long time ago, and I think BB2 and 99 said there's none out there in Ca. (?)
ReplyDeleteI've never seen one.
Out here the trend is towards big box grocers such as Winco. Also the newer Target stores have a grocery section as does Walmart. Older Walmarts and Targets are being remodeled to add grocery sections.
