QUOTE:
We, the Salt of the Earth, Take Precedence
By Paul Craig Roberts
The slaughtering of foreigners doesn’t seem to bother
the American public. Americans take it for granted that
Americans are superior and that American purposes,
whatever they be, take precedence over the rights of
other people to life and to a political existence independent
of American hegemony. Continue

The Bush Administration steps up its secret moves against Iran.
By Seymour M. Hersh
Late last year, Congress agreed to a request from President
Bush to fund a major escalation of covert operations against
Iran, according to current and former military, intelligence,
and congressional sources. These operations, for which
the President sought up to four hundred million dollars, were
described in a Presidential Finding signed by Bush, and are
designed to destabilize the country’s religious leadership.

America Is the Rogue Nation
By Charley Reese
If you think we or Israel can attack Iran and not expect
retaliation, I'd have to say with regret that you are a

This Recession, It's Just Beginning
By Steven Pearlstein
This thing's going down, fast and hard. Corporate
bankruptcies, bond defaults, bank failures, hedge
fund meltdowns and 6 percent unemployment. We're
caught in one of those vicious, downward spirals
that, once it gets going, is very hard to pull out of.

You thought the housing crisis was bad? You ain’t
seen nothing yet.
By Danny Schechter
While many eyes are focusing on the housing meltdown

IMF Finally Knocks on Uncle Sam's Door
By David HIrst
The fact that the IMF is knocking on the very doors

lost the house, the car and the kids will, if the past
is anything to go by, be buried in the US by pom-pom
waving on CNBC telling all what a great time it is to buy.

The Sub-prime Trump Card
Standing Up To The Banks
By Ellen Brown:
More than 1.5 million homeowners are expected to enter
foreclosure this year, and about half of them are expected
to have their homes repossessed. If the dire consequences
Jefferson warned of 200 years ago have been slow in
coming, it is because they have been concealed by what
erome a Paris calls the Anglo Disease – “the highly unequal
economy whereby the rich and the financial sector . . . capture
most of the income but hide it by providing cheap debt to
the middle classes so that they can continue to spend.”

Now Comes The Hard Part
By David Michael Green
I have contended for some time that Democrats are going
to have a giant year (or, more precisely, Republicans
are going to be fiercely spanked), all down the ballot,
ranging from dogcatchers up to senators and governors.
I expected that the presidential race might be a bit closer
than those others, but even that may not be true. Continue
