Ja, lieber Alexander, ich war derjenige, der, mit der Hilfe einer kleinen List, 1975 von Jan Machalek, einem Mitarbeiter des Auschwitz Museums das Geständnis erhielt, daß in Auschwitz I das Krema I nach dem Krieg „rekonstruiert“ worden war. Ich sagte umgehend zu ihm: „Also dann haben sie [gemeint waren die Direktoren des Museums] Baupläne?“ Er antwortete, in einem pathetischen Ton: „Ja“ (bis dahin hatte er jedes Mal mit „Jawohl!“ geantwortet). Ich fragte ihn: „Wo sind sie?“ Er erwiderte, ich solle Tadeusz Iwaszko, Direktor der Archive, sehen.

For us old-timers, memories of those post-9/11 days persist like that rotting squirrel stuck somewhere under your back porch.
One of the features of those dirty days was the panic index, actually called the terrorism alert system, created by the then-new Department of Homeland Security. The system featured a five-step, color-coded “alert level” ranging from black (normal) to red (attack imminent.) The system was criticized for doing little more than promoting a constant background hum of anxiety when it basically got stuck at “elevated risk” for nearly eight years.

Following the Paris terrorist attacks on 13 November 2015, the British government has got its wish to join the air campaign against Islamic State (IS or ISIS) in Syria, winning the parliamentary vote on 2 December 2015. With many of the government’s dubious assertions often either repeated or not examined by the media, in addition to the government choosing not […]
Yes, this site has still been under attack over the last while.... It is so obvious that someone is extremely pissed off by the material I am presenting here, especially about the fraudulent San Bernardino California fraud shooting....
As France, the UK and now Germany obediently line up for war with Russia, feel free to send these to anyone who asks you “but do you think we should just let ISIS keep beheading people?” 1. Bashar al Assad’s secular government in Syria is a major obstacle to US/NATO ambitions to fragment the Middle East, exploit its resources and […]
Tuesday evening Rachel Maddow had Bernie Sanders on her show. The video is embedded above. It's worth watching if you're trying to decide if he's the candidate you want to see go up against whichever garbage the GOP nominates for president. As you've probably seen, recent head-to-head match-ups show Bernie doing significantly better than Hillary against Trumpf, Cruz, Rubio, Jeb and any of the other plausible Republikanische contenders.
On October 23 the mainstream media reported the obliteration by both Russian and US coalition forces of an ISIS oilfield and supply routes in the heart of Islamic State territory in Syria. Following the UK government’s decision to extend its military campaign from Iraq into Syria, a subsequent BBC report highlighted an additional bombing raid on December 5 in that country. But it has […]

In the many strategies proposed to defeat the Islamic State (IS) by presidential candidates, policymakers, and media pundits alike across the American political spectrum, one common element stands out: someone else should really do it...
It looks like an agreement has been struck between Turkey, the KRG and the United States to seize parts of northern Iraq and eastern Syria to create a de facto Sunni state that will be jointly-controlled by Ankara and Washington. It also looks like Obama has agreed to use dodgy jihadi-proxies (aka–Terrorists) to work alongside US Special Forces to carry out future military operations.
No... Common core and its individually adaptive assessment process are not about building in another layer of surveillance... of course not. Whatever gave you that idea?

At Progressive Review ("Two Types of Terrorism," Dec. 7), Sam Smith breaks terrorism down into two types: "That which uses guns and bombs and that which uses words to terrify the public into going along with whatever those in power want."

At Trumpf's bund rally in South Carolina a few days ago, he Islamophobic remarks got most of the news. But did you miss that he also seems to be coming up with some kind of a plan to "do something" to the Internet?

We have to go see Bill Gates and a lot of different people that really understand what's happening.

First time I denounced Rahm Emanuel to a group of politically-active progressive bloggers (circa 2005), I was called out for being a "Republican Party plant."

Trump must wonder what he has to say to finally be booted if not institutionalized for wanting to ban Muslim travel to the US. Because you know he has absolutely no desire to be POTUS. None. But everything he says is met with resounding approbation and applause. America has become an asylum. And I’m your guide.
