KSM - Khalid Shaikh Mohammed



David Swanson: What is the corporate owned media telling us to talk about with the KSM trial in NY, and what are they NOT telling us to talk about?

David Swanson: KSM and MSM: The questions still NOT being asked by the media...


Ray McGovern: What the Fawning Corporate Media (or FCM) have so far neglected is the likelihood that the testimony will be so public that they will have to break their studied silence about why Sheikh Mohammed and his associates say they orchestrated the attacks of 9/11.

Ray McGovern: Media commentary on the upcoming 9/11 trial of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed has raised concern that state secrets may be divulged, including details about how the Bush administration used torture to extract evidence about al-Qaeda.


Empty Wheel: The Wall Street Journal solicited an op-ed attacking the decision to try KSM in civilian court from one of the people–John Yoo–with the biggest conflict on such a decision.

Empty Wheel: Trial Showing Torture Was Unnecessary


Glenn Greenwald: This is literally true: the Right's reaction to yesterday's announcement -- we're too afraid to allow trials and due process in our country -- is the textbook definition of "surrendering to terrorists."

Glenn Greenwald: The Right's textbook "surrender to terrorists"

If America knew what Israel is doing:




Rudy Giuliani opens up a can of WHOOP-ASS on Rudy Giuliani, as he debates himself on having the KSM trial in New York. He really kicked his ass!!! Geraldo Rivera is now the "voice of reason" on FOX "news":

Health Care Crisis



450,000 Arkansans are without health insurance. More FREE CLINICS to shame senators who are voting against health care reform. See my post from yesterday for more info on the FREE HEALTH CARE CLINICS to shame senators who are voting against health care reform.



Drug firms raise prices in face of health reform

CNN: 1 in 6 Americans goes hungry. Government report shows 15% of Americans had trouble putting food on the table -- a record high.

Mortgage delinquencies hit another record in 3Q



Surprise!!! The Republicans want you to have higher credit card rates!!! I know, this has come as a huge shock to you. Did they use the "We're really helping you..." tactic or "We're saving jobs" (in India) tactic??? Keep on voting Republican!!! Did anyone ask Sarah Palin if she's for this? Let me guess: "NO"!



Republican senators on Wednesday blocked an effort to debate a bill that would prevent credit card companies from raising interest rates ahead of new regulations coming into force next year.

SURPRISE!!! GOP blocks effort to freeze credit card interest rates

Push to curb credit-card rates fades. Democrats resist consumer outcry

If Obama really wants to know what's behind entrenched joblessness, he should start by looking at the man in the mirror.



McCain camp: Palin book is "fiction":



McCain adviser: Palin’s book is fiction. Depictions ‘took place entirely in her imagination,’ says Wallace

AGAIN!!!!! FOX "news" doctors video of "crowds" at Palin book signing, DAYS after Sean Hannity apologized for doctoring footage of Michele Bachmann's Tea Pary crowd! The other day, I joked that FOX "news" will "pre-emptively apologize" for doctoring videos. Sadly, that seems to be a great idea. FOX "news" is a 24x7 GOP political operation, it's not news. 100% of their "mistakes" (wink wink) favor Republicans. The Tea Partys are an astroturf GOP operation, if you went in the middle of a Tea Party and yelled, "Health care for all Americans", they'd probably lynch you. America is turning into a fascist nation...only when there's a Democratic president.

Video 1 - FOX "news" LATEST doctored Palin crowd, DAYS after the Hannity/Tea Party doctored video.
Video 2 - Hannity apologizing a few days ago for a DIFFERENT crowd doctoring video. So how sincere was his apology, if a few days later they do it again! That's what I said a few days ago! I said that Hannity is really saying: "FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, PLEASE STOP POINTING OUT OUR DOCTORED VIDEOS!!!" How stupid can you be, to do the same exact thing a few days later, and think no one will notice??? Jesus Christ!!!

Big Dan's Big News Nov 18, 2009

MSNBC focusing on health care reform in the right way: covering free health care clinics in America designed to shame the U.S. congress into health care reform for all. Even the hardest people against health care reform will get sick watching these videos. Shame on America!!! Spread these two videos like a virus!!!







Former far right Evangelical religious leader Frank Schaeffer: Religious right in America are like the Taliban, using God and religion to call for the deaths of their political enemies; Republicans and rightwing media don't publicly denounce it, just like they accuse Muslim leaders of not denouncing terrorism:



Unlike Christian leaders and Republicans and rightwing media who won't denounce Evangelicals' call to violence against their political enemies:

Muslim leaders condemn Fort Hood shootings.

Sarah Palin - America's Evita. Frank Schaeffer on 'the new face of Lipstick Fascism'...

Forget about this picture:




What about this picture:





If Americans Knew What Israel Is Doing! VIDEO WAS CENSORED!

YOU LIE!!!!!!!!




Nothing about Mooseburgers??? Shocker: Sarah Palin upset that people are fact-checking her book and pointing out the lies. Sound familiar? Try and get beyond the lies and look at the policy...well, there's no policy, either. What the hell is she doing?

Sarah Palin's FACT-FREE book "Going Rogue"

Palin lies about hunting from helicopters in new book

How DARE you fact-check my book! I should just be able to say shit with no accountability or negative reactions! If you disagree with what I say, even if it's not true, keep your mouth shut or I'll quit being governor! Oh, I already did that!

Palin Accuses AP Of Doing "Opposition Research" In Fact Check of Book



Palin says she doesn’t believe in evolution





Joe "YOU LIE" Wilson again! Ironically!


“One of the reasons I have long supported the U.S. biotechnology industry is that it is a homegrown success story that has been an engine of job creation in this country.” This written statement by Rep. Joe Wilson of South Carolina on the health care bill was identical to one by Representative Blaine Luetkemeyer and used language suggested by lobbyists. Ironically, I happened to use Joe Wilson's "YOU LIE" picture for the Sarah Palin story, too!

Statements by more than a dozen lawmakers were ghostwritten, in whole or in part, by Washington lobbyists working for Genentech, one of the world’s largest biotechnology companies.







Fox News's faux news - Fox News presents an alternative, right-wing reality where up is down and Tea Party protest misinformation is legion
