Israeli Airstrikes Kill Hundreds In Gaza

Sun, 12/28/2008 - 03:10 — Winter

After months of a sickeningly brutal blockade, in which more than a million people have been deprived of life's essentials, the blockaders have escalated the "conflict".

The first wave of "retaliation" was a series of airstrikes in which -- according to reports -- 60 warplanes attacked 50 targets, killing more than 200 people and injuring at least 400 others.

I have to be away for a couple of days, perhaps a bit less. I will rejoin you when conditions become more favorable; in the meantime please behave yourselves.

Don't Stand Underneath When They Fly By

Thu, 12/25/2008 - 11:03 — Winter

I could be talking about Predators attacking Pakistan, trying to root out extremism. But it's Christmas, and I'm talking about something else instead, just for a little while.

You can read it here and/or comment below, as usual.

Best wishes to you and yours, now and always.

Christmas And The GWOT [2]: Personal Salvation And National Destruction

Fri, 12/19/2008 - 11:37 — Winter

I think I'm mostly feeling alienated from Christmas during the GWOT because of what goes on in church.

Christmas And The GWOT

Wed, 12/17/2008 - 02:39 — Winter

We're rapidly approaching our eighth consecutive wartime Christmas, and I suppose I should be used to the horror of it all by now. But no dice.

I'm not getting used to anything. Instead I'm realizing that I think of Christmas much as I think of the Glorious War On Terror.

Going S-L-O-W

Sun, 12/14/2008 - 21:06 — Winter

I wish I could blog but I'm overloaded at the moment. Work is hairy, the family schedule is crazy, the holidays are extra busy this time 'round, there are some other things happening too, and my blog is just too low on the priority list to get much attention these days...

... which is a drag, because there are a lot of things going on and I wish I could write about all of them ... but instead I'm finding it tough to spend any time on any of them.

I'll have more on the Double Cover series as soon as I can, and more on some other things too. In the meantime, if there's anything you'd like to mention, please feel free.

Double Cover: Behind The Mumbai Terror Attacks / [5] Lining Up The Suspects

Thu, 12/11/2008 - 10:58 — Winter

Previously in this series, I explained how we know that last month's attacks in Mumbai, India, were a well-coordinated false-flag commando raid, and I wrote:

"In reality-based situations [...] the analysis of such a horrible crime would begin with the known facts, and it would proceed in a systematic fashion, from the knowns to the unknowns."

We could turn to stone waiting for mainstream analysts to do this, so we may as well do it ourselves.

From The Mouths Of Terrorists: The Poisonous Truth

Fri, 12/05/2008 - 01:47 — Winter

Two weeks ago we were talking about the most recent terror propaganda from friends of Mossad and the CIA, an "al Qaeda video" in which al Qaeda's purported number two man, Ayman al-Zawahri, spoke some uncomfortable truths about our transformative new President-elect, Barack Obama ... the propaganda is apparently having the desired effect.

Double Cover: Behind The Mumbai Terror Attacks / [4] Beyond Ridiculous

In reality-based situations (of which this is not one!), the analysis of such a horrible crime would begin with the known facts, and it would proceed in a systematic fashion, from the knowns to the unknowns.

If It's Not Corporate TV, Then What Is It?

Mon, 12/01/2008 - 23:43 — Winter

What is it, indeed? It's Not Corporate TV, a sharp new set of interlocking video blogs, with interesting entries in each of the following categories:

Project For The New American Century
911
Iran, Iraq, the Petrodollar
Bogus Terror Propaganda
John Pilger Documentaries
Mainstream Corporate Media and Propaganda
Electronic Voting

For instance, on the "Bogus Terror Propaganda" page, you can watch a piece called The Origin and Myth of 'Al Qaeda'. It's an excerpt from the BBC series The Power Of Nightmares, and it's well worth the ten minutes it will take you to watch it.

That's just one example, and there's much more, including links to some very fine blogs! It's nothing like the corporate TV you're used to, if you're used to corporate TV. And that's why it's Not Corporate TV -- bright, honest, and very well done!

Ha ha! One for the good guys!!

I think our friend Sally may have had a hand in this; perhaps she will tell us in the comments below.
