Blackwater were hired as C.I.A. planned to kill Jihadists
The Central Intelligence Agency in 2004 hired outside contractors from the private security contractor Blackwater USA as part of a secret program to locate and assassinate top operatives of Al Qaeda, according to current and former government officials.
Executives from Blackwater, which has generated controversy because of its aggressive tactics in Iraq, helped the spy agency with planning, training and surveillance. The C.I.A. spent several millions dollars on the program,
which did not capture or kill any terrorist suspects.

Dj Spooky + Sussan Deyhim – Azadi (The New Complexity)
More @ 'Music For Freedom'
This collaboration is a single on Dj Spooky’s next album “The Secret Song” that will be out in October, 2009.
Azadi (The New Complexity) is a song based on a very old poem by Rumi, one of the poet laureates of Iran’s ancient tradition of poetry. The word Azadi itself simply means Freedom.
Here is the original poem translated into English
SHOW ME YOUR FACE
i crave
flowers and gardens
open your lips
i crave
the taste of honey
come out from
behind the clouds
i desire a sunny face
your voice echoed
saying “leave me alone”
i wish to hear your voice
again saying “leave me alone”
i swear this city without you
is a prison
i am dying to get out
to roam in deserts and mountains
i am tired of
flimsy friends and
submissive companions
i am blue hearing
nagging voices and meek cries
i desire loud music
drunken parties and
wild dances
one hand holding
a cup of wine
one hand caressing your hair
then dancing in orbital circle
that is what i yearn for
i can sing better than any nightingale
but because of
this city’s freaks
i seal my lips
while my heart weeps
yesterday the wisest man
holding a lit lantern
in daylight
was searching around town saying
i am tired of
all these beast and brutes
i seek
a true human
we have all looked
for one but
no one could be found
they said
yes he replied
but my search is
for the one
who cannot be found

WTF? Ignorance is bliss? HMMMMM!
So she says 'Heil Hitler' to a Jewish Obama supporter and yet she is wearing an Isreali Defence Forces t-shirt!
In another interview here she says:"I don't care what they do with this health care bill. It will not pay for abortions. If somebody wants to go out and have wild sex, for the fun of it, then they can pay for the consequences. I'm not going to."
Dearie, dearie me.
Thanx as always Fifi

Barney Frank confronts woman at Town Hall comparing Obama to Hitler
At a Barney Frank (D) town hall meeting in Dartmouth, MA, a constituent asks, "Why are you supporting this Nazi policy?"
Frank responds: "On what planet do you spend most of your time?" He then calls her approach "vile, contemptible nonsense." He closes by saying: "Trying to have a conversation with you would be like arguing with a dining room table."

10 books that are harder to read than 'Twilight'
The Twilight books have turned a generation of adult women away from People magazine and on to books, word books! The only problem is, this phenomenon comes with a sense of smugness among readers who consider themselves intellectuals because they often finish a book within a weekend or even a day.However, did you know that Twilight has a grade equivalent score of 4.4? What this means is that the vocabulary and sentence structure of this book are best suited for people who read at a 4th grade level, mainly 4th graders. I did some research and the following books scored the same rating or higher for grade equivalency and therefore are just as difficult to read and comprehend as Twilight.

Robot prostitutes tipped to tempt future tourists
It sounds like science fiction, but robot bar staff, hotel rooms that change colour, cruise ships as big as aircraft carriers and even robot sex are part of the future for travellers, a tourism conference has been told.

Dean: Public option a must for health care reform
Former Democratic Party Chairman Howard Dean is arguing that there can be no meaningful overhaul of the health care system without a public option for coverage. [...]Dean discussed the situation on NBC's "Today" show amid indications the Obama administration is backing away from its insistence on a public option in the face of vocal opposition. Referring to the public health option, the former Vermont governor said, "You can't really do health care reform without it."

Protesters want Yoo fired from Berkeley
Anti-war activists protested Monday at the University of California, Berkeley to call for the firing of a law professor who co-wrote legal memos that critics say were used to justify the torture of suspected terrorists. Campus police arrested at least four people who refused to leave the university's law school building. The demonstrators said John Yoo should be dismissed, disbarred and prosecuted for war crimes for his work as a Bush administration attorney from 2001 to 2003, when he helped craft legal theories for waterboarding and other harsh interrogation techniques.The TRUTH about Amsterdam
"Most people know that the Fox channel isn't the most objective news source on American TV. But in a pretty recent broadcast Amsterdam is so falsely portrayed as a city of crime, drugs and anarchy, that I had to show the facts."

Insound - I think I love you!
Here.I have to say that I am more than impressed by the service from Insound.
I have Richard Hell's 'Destiny Street Repaired' vinyl album on pre order and then I noticed that they also have this t-shirt in their catalogue.
Insound have a policy that they do not take the money out of your account until the order is actually shipped, so I thought I would e/mail to see if it was possible to add this 't' to the order and maybe save a little on postage, which is quite a lot to Australia (tho' it has to be said they are cheaper than I have seen in other places.)
Anyway I received a message back within a couple of hours (if that) from the ever charming Kimberly saying that it had been added and that even if they were posted separately they would only charge postage for one item!
What can I say?
Unbelievable...and do check Insound out as they also offer free mp3's from some of their ever building catalogue.

No stranger danger to Bob
If you are going to use a former prime minister to highlight cultural and social differences between Australia and the U.S. pick carefully. On Friday night delegates to the annual American - Australian Leadership Dialogue in Melbourne were taken to the MCG for a match; as a bonus, AFL boss Andrew Demetriou organised for them to go out on the ground at half time for a photo. After the match a participant by the name of Bob Hawke was headed for the team bus when a car came by, its young driver calling out "Hawkie, you're a bloody legend." Came the reply "Well if I am such a bloody legend, why don't you give me a lift back to my pub?" Moments later the erstwhile PM rode off into the dark with perfect strangers. As one US participant noted, "That could never happen in America."James Jeffrey - 'The Australian' 18/08/09
It's time to legalise drugs
"Undercover Baltimore police officer Dante Arthur was doing what he does well, arresting drug dealers, when he approached a group in January. What he didn't know was that one of suspects knew from a previous arrest that Arthur was police. Arthur was shot twice in the face. In the gunfight that ensued, Arthur's partner returned fire and shot one of the suspects, three of whom were later arrested..."
@ 'Wahington Post'
Well thought out piece by two former police.
This blog has called many times for the legalisaion of ALL drugs.
Prohibition has proved itself not to work again & again...
“Narcotics have been systematically scapegoated and demonized. The idea that anyone can use drugs and escape a horrible fate is anathema to these idiots. I predict in the near future right wingers will use drug hysteria as a pretext to setup an international police apparatus. I’m an old man, and I may not live to see a final solution of the drug problem.”
