It seems as if Ed Miliband and his jolly horde actually managed to postpone the strike by a few days. Who'd have thought that there might be substantial opposition in Britain's parliament...

I did not see this coming, to be honest. They're still going to strike, but at least their warmongering will be on the fucking record.

The picture is golden, by the way. Protective gear for the foreigners, a pack of smokes for the locals.

Thinking of you <3

Robert Fisk's "Does President Obama know he’s fighting on al-Qa’ida’s side?" was pretty much the only article I saw this morning that didn't advocate a military engagement in Syria.

Apparently, Gleichschaltung is the name of the game again.

Julian Assange went front and center again with a piece in some new'ish Aussie news outlet called The Stringer. I wouldn't have noticed it, but Zero Hedge picked it up.

Assange's claim: Google and the US State Department have closer ties than anyone would be willing to admit, with Jared Cohen, Director of Google Ideas, acting as "Google’s director of regime change".

Hefty claims, although lacking in detail. "Don't be evil"... it had such a nice ring to it, back in the days.

Edit: And to put the icing on the cake, Foreign Policy released official documents showing how the Reagan administration gave target intel to the Iraqis, knowing full well it'll lead to a chemical attack. Great timing, all things considered.

Did you catch David Sirota's first piece over at nsfwcorp?

Saying Boo To A Ghost: It's No Secret Why Congress Fears Crossing The NSA

Money quote by Alan Grayson:

GRAYSON: It's possible - one of my colleagues asked the NSA point blank will you give me a copy of my own record and the NSA said no, we won't. They didn't say no we don't have one. They said no we won't. So that's possible.

Finally someone picked up the blackmail-angle of the NSA story. Maybe some day we'll even call it by its name: COINTELPRO 2.0
