One of my earliest posts dealt with the conundrum of Turkey and her future relations with important axles of the western alliance - NATO and the EU.  She belongs to the former but not the latter, as is well known.   The word ‘belongs’ in connection with NATO is now in serious doubt. My powers of prophecy in this matter are confirmed.

Make no mistake about it, the United States has cut the mooring lines to the Israeli state,  so long as it remains  in the hands of the current hard-line management. The present crisis in the Middle East is first and foremost about installing a new user-friendly management in Jerusalem, responsive to American pressure on the toxic contemporary issue of Palestinian sovereignty.

The rape of Libya is the latest, saddest example to affirm that the mark of modern times --
going back to the colonial, genocidal land-grabs under the pretense of bringing civilization and Christianity --
is the perfecting of mass murder behind the mask of ideology.

The Twitter and Facebook riots in Britain are presumably organized by the intel services, just as they were in Iran and the so-called Arab Spring.
The UK violence saved PM Cameron from a desperate predicament, by taking attention away from his involvement in the Murdoch affair.
This also facilitates the passage of more police state legislation.
That's why police stood by and didn't even arrest a few isolated looters as a deterrent - stand down orders.

Before we can determine if America has succumbed to fascism, we first must have a good definition and understanding of what fascism really is. A good starting definition was given by Heywood Broun, a noted American columnist in the 1930s.

Webster Griffin Tarpley's recent writings on his website have exposed the naked aggression behind the so-called color revolution in Libya -- for instance, Al Qaeda: Pawns of CIA Insurrection from Libya to Yemen.

What a farce...

The Ministry of Propaganda strikes again with their usual trumpery and nonsense. This must have been a fun, easy piece -- a few minutes' scribbling for their imaginative press release whizzes.

Our electric company, Southern California Edison, has installed new digital electric meters.

TRANSCRIPT of veteran Mike Prysner:

I tried hard to be proud of my service, but all I could feel was shame. Racism ("superiority") could no longer mask the reality of the occupation. These were people, these were human beings.
I've since been claimed by guilt anytime I see an elderly man like the one who couldn't walk and we rolled out on a stretcher and told the Iraqi police to take him away.
