THOUGHT FOR THE DAY!

"Imperialism today is taking place in the context of...the 'universalization' of capitalism. It is not now primarily a matter of territorial conquest or direct military or colonial control. It is not now a matter of capitalist powers invading non-capitalist powers in order to bleed them dry directly and by brute force. Now it is more a matter of ensuring that the forces of the capitalist market prevail in every corner of the world (even if this means marginalizing and impoverishing parts of it), and of manipulating those market forces to the advantage of the most powerful capitalist economies and the United States in particular." ... "Military force is still central to the imperialist project, in some ways more than ever."-- Political scientist Ellen Meiksins-Wood, Z magazine Nov 1999, p26

 

HAPPY 'KICK OUT THE GOVERNMENT' DAY!!!

 

Fadel Shana: Killing the Messenger!

An Israeli tank crew who killed Reuters cameraman Fadel Shana Shana and eight young bystanders in the Gaza Strip in April 2008. The Israeli missile targeted a clearly marked 'Reuters' van. Israel would take four months before stating what was anticipated that the killers acted properly and will not face legal action, Reuters said it was deeply disturbed by a conclusion that severely curtails the freedom of the media to cover the conflict by effectively giving soldiers a free hand to kill without being sure they were not firing on journalists.

The truth is irrelevant

Israel will murder whoever it wants to murder. If you get in their way, they will run you down with their military bulldozers. Hasn't that been proven already?

When the time comes, and it will soon, Israel will toss the US aside like a disposable weapon. Oh, they won't do it nicely. They'll leave you fighting Iran, Russia and probably China. This will be a battle you cannot win. You can't even defeat Iraq.
