Dylan Ratigan: The Case Against Geithner
Mr. Geithner, show us the past ten years of AIG emails. A crime has been committed against the American taxpayer and right now you’re standing at the door of the crime scene refusing to let anyone in. On the way to creating a statewide exit test for graduation, many states have softened standards, delayed the requirement or added alternative paths to a high school diploma. What Is the True Unemployment Number?So, the true unemployment rate – – which I define (as I think most would) as ALL people who want work but just can’t find it- probably lies somewhere between 11.6% and 13.2%.

Hopes that low interest and higher spending would halt slide Some 12 percent of minors held in government custody are sexually abused, and in some facilities the rate reaches a stunning one in three children, says a report released Thursday by the Bureau of Justice Statistics.
Mexico: Sex Slaves (Part I)
Smugglers bring thousands of young women from Mexico into the U.S. and force them to provide sexual services for perverted gringos with plenty of disposable cash. The transaction signals a cannibal capitalism, hardcore neoliberalism, that both countries share in dog-eat-dog cultures.
Africom - Latest U.S. Bid to Recolonise ContinentAfrican leaders must not forget that under the Barack Obama administration, US policy towards Africa and the rest of the developing world has not changed an inch. It remains militaristic and materialistic.

Before You Quit Antidepressants ...
The Journal of the American Medical Association study said that for most patients, commonly used antidepressants are no better than a placebo. A LEADING health expert says the swine flu scare was a ‘false pandemic’ led by drugs companies that stood to make billions from vaccines.

By Uzi Mahnaimi in Tel Aviv. A general who was once in charge of Israel’s nuclear weapons has claimed that Iran is a ‘very, very, very long way from building a nuclear capability’. Pakistan’s government reported US drones killed only civilians in 39 of 44 attacks on their country in 2009; with over 700 innocent civilians killed, according to Pakistan's most widely-read English newspaper. Pakistan has repeatedly publicly denounced the US attacks, making the US guilty of War Crimes as they do not have explicit permission from Pakistan’s government. In parallel with the escalation of the war in South Asia – – counterinsurgency operations in Afghanistan and drone missile attacks in Pakistan – – the United States and its NATO allies have laid the groundwork for increased naval, air and ground operations in the Horn of Africa and the Gulf of Aden.
