"The Germans lean on eurozone authorities to get off the hook, and the European Commission bows to Berlin. But voters elsewhere want to change things, even just in their own countries? Nein, nein, nein: There is no alternative."

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.

Finally, a FOIA request successfully revealed the CIA to be lying sacks of shit when they claimed they weren't snooping on Noam Chomsky.

Nothing new, really, but it's nice to see it on paper.

I like to look at my computer screen to watch random things but I can't stand commercials. Commercials just bother me. Anyway, to that end I like...
Ninjavideo.net
re1ease.net
and the alluc.org forum

For info I like...
the guardian

^Sarkozy's a pro-US conservative. He defeated the traditional socialist candidate in the election.

He wears NYPD shirts when jogging, whereas some of the French would prefer he strolls, which would be less individualistic.
