The viral skinnydipping scandal, and the real story

http://freedomwat.ch/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/mondoweiss-logo1.png

“It’s quite telling that the ‘news angle’ here is about a congressman skinny dipping on a trip to Israel and not the bigger far more important and embarrassing problem of Congress’ regular prostitution to the pro-Israel lobby.  The first issue involves nudity and politicians, the second only involves major implications for American foreign policy in a region where we have countless interests, thousands of troops and a history of flawed foreign policy. But hey, sex and scandals drive traffic and ratings so who cares about all that other stuff.”

Arijit Vs. Delta

http://freedomwat.ch/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/ZOMG1.jpg

“We had cleared the security checkpoint without incident, but while waiting at the gate, a Delta supervisor informed me my shirt (this one here, designed by Cory Doctorow) had made numerous passengers and employees ‘very uncomfortable.’  I was then questioned by TSA about the significance and meaning of the shirt. I politely explained that it was ‘mocking the security theater charade and over-reactions to terrorism by the general public — both of which we’re seeing right now, ironically.'”

Real Reason they Arrested Brandon Raub: Strip Him of His Right to Bear Arms

http://freedomwat.ch/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/the-daily-bell-top-logo313.jpg

“The real reason why they arrested former US Marine Brandon Raub and then confined him to a psychiatric ward is now emerging.  It may be part of a deliberate Pentagon policy to declare people who are vets and concerned about eroding freedoms – as Raub obviously was – to be emotionally disturbed and thus ineligible to carry or use weapons. It seems to have something to do with a new demonization of US military personnel.”

Budget analysts project $1.1T federal deficit this year

“Prepare for another year of $1 trillion-plus deficits.  The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office projected Wednesday that the deficit for 2012 will run $1.1 trillion, the fourth year in a row the shortfall will exceed $1 trillion. The projection is down a bit from an earlier estimate pegging the deficit this year at $1.2 trillion.  The report also warned that a new recession is likely if an ongoing stalemate over tax and spending cuts continues between Democrats and Republicans.”

Is Gold Money? LCH Accepts Shiny Yellow Metal As Collateral

http://freedomwat.ch/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/logo2.png

“Whether it is because the CME just did it; or it’s all their clients have left; or Gold volatility is lower than EURUSD volatility (9.0% vs 9.6% in last 3 weeks); or they see the painting on the wall of Draghi’s grand-plans, the LCH-Clearnet just announced that as of August 28th, unallocated gold will be accepted as collateral for margin cover purposes. This now means all the major exchanges accept worthless barbarous relics as collateral – as well as worthless fiat paper ‘money’.”

Senkaku Islands dispute – Wikipedia

http://freedomwat.ch/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/300px-Senkaku-uotsuri1.jpg

“The United States occupied the islands from 1945 to 1972. Both China and Japan have expressed sovereignty claims on the island at the United Nations Security Council on 20 May 1972. Ownership of the islands would give either nation exclusive oil, mineral and fishing rights in surrounding waters. The United States has recognized Japan’s sovereignty over the islands in effect by stating that the islands are included within the U.S. Japan Security Treaty. This means that, pursuant to the Security Treaty, any defense of the islands by Japan will be backed up by the full force of the United States military and naval power.”
