The carefully-worded caveats surrounding the veracity of our earlier piece were unnecessary: despite earlier prevarication, the Pentagon has confirmed that the US were sending 3000 tons of munitions in 25 containers from Greece to Israel, timed to arrive at the end of January. This volte face obviously had nothing to do with the leaking of [...]

Israel delivers a housewarming present to Obama – Armageddon
December 28, 2008 – 7:18 pm
Remember the PFLP? Well, they’re back, thanks to helicopter gunship diplomacy. By John J Kelly from sources in Gaza There is still time for Israel to pull back from the endgame, but we are being told that the wanton slaughter of the past two days has met with ‘widespread public approval on all sides [...]

If so, [...]

George W Bush comes off lightly in the new biopic, ‘W’ to the dismay of pinko liberals everywhere. Oliver Stone was scripted to serve up a tale of a neocon Golem, spoiled rich son of a former CIA Director turned one-term President whose legacy was that he did not annex Iraq. He fixed the polls in [...]
