ALL LINKS OPEN A NEW WINDOW!!!

Watch out America! Head of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano gets the front-n-center treatment to discuss the "firecrackers-in-a-pillowcase" (FIAP) bomber on This George, Meet the David and State of the King! Look for Janet to try to connect the FIAP Bomber to Al Qaeiouda, Syria, Iraq, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Yemen, Palestine, Nigeria, Global Warming, Poverty, Unemployment and the Global Banking Crisis! It was ALL THIS ONE GUY's fault! Pretty soon you'll be seeing (most likely unconstitutional) more 'whole body imaging' machines at an airport near you! What's next? Nude Flying? Be afraid, comrades, be VERY afraid! Throw bricks at MITCH MCCONNELL on This George and NEWT 'Contract ON America" GINGRICH on Meet the David. BOB GIBBS shares the WH Limo ride with Janet to This George and Meet the David and takes a cab to Face the Bob. For a real treat check out CHRIS VAN HOLLEN (DCCC) & BOB MENENDEZ (DSCC) on Faux News trying to fend off questions on how this new health insurance reform measure will help get them bunches of donations from true-blue Democrats for the 2010 midterms! This ought to be rich! Meanwhile there's more interesting fair at the BTV Alerts and our regular contributors. Read-watch-listen about the New Year's Eve Gaza Freedom March on Democracy NOW and Peter B Collins, plus some good interviews at AntiWar Radio. No listing for Ring of Fire Radio so it may be a holiday "best of" show and Laura Flanders has some Year's Best/Worst shows. Don't miss Max Keiser’s "Business Guide to 2010" LIVE BROADCAST on New Year's Eve! GLENN GREENWALD puts his finger on reports the recent "top terrorists" U.S. drones "may have killed" in past weeks and months: "Each time the U.S. bombs a new location in the Muslim world, the same pattern emerges. First, officials from the U.S. or allied governments run to their favorite media outlet to claim -- anonymously -- that some big, bad, notorious, "top" Al Qaeda leader "may have been" or "likely was" killed in the strike, and this constitutes a "stinging" or "devastating" blow against the Terrorist group. These compliant media outlets then sensationalistically trumpet that claim as the dominant theme of their "reporting" on the attack, drowning out every other issue. ~ Yet over and over and over, it turns out that these anonymous government assertions -- trumpeted by our mindless media -- are completely false." (salon.com) GREENWALD asserts further, "Just like the "we killed 30 extremists" claim or the "we got Al Qaeda's Number 3" boast, this is propaganda in its purest form, disseminated jointly by the U.S. Government and American media, and it happens over and over, compelling a rational person to conclude that it's clearly intentional by both parties." ~ "It's painfully obvious that these assertions are made to overwhelm, distort and suppress any discussions of the actual effects of the attack -- who the strike really killed, whether it was justified, legal or wise, whether we should continue to drop bombs in more and more Muslim countries. ~ The whole process is blatantly designed not to convey what happened, but to obscure what happened and to prevent any discussion of its consequences." Watch exactly this in action on Sunday regarding the latest terrorist the FIAP Bomber. We hope you're enjoying your holidays. The Brick TeeVee Crew only asked Santa for one thing: BEER. And they got plenty! So they're messing up the kitchen making munchies to watch Bowl-O-Rama the rest of the week, including the Big One: The Rose Bowl featuring THE Ohio State against Oregon! Go Buckeyes! See you next year!

"I Want To Sign Up For Medicare Too!!" Fax Action Page If you could sign up for Medicare right now would you do it? To President Obama & Congress:

Last week the Senate floated the idea of making it possible for people 55-64 to buy in to Medicare. The original proposal was just another fake health care reform scam, to try to offload those with the most medical needs from for-profit insurance company obligations. The problem for them is that everyone LIKED the idea so much, that it gave people an actual glimmer of hope that real change might happen, and they have tried to deep six the idea as fast as possible, before the Congressional Budget Office even has a chance to score it. But not so fast. Tell your members of Congress that YOU want to sign up for Medicare NOW! You aren't really signing up for Medicare by submitting the form of course. But it will send your instant fax to them, and President Obama at the White House too. All we need is for people to declare that is what they want, that we will accept nothing less, and it HAS to happen.

ALL LINKS OPEN A NEW WINDOW!!!

Much has happened in the previous few weeks since we've posted: Afghanistan "surge" of 30,000+ more U.S. troops by the 2009 Nobel Peace Laureate, more banks being taken over by the FDIC, more foreclosures, a fraudulent election in Honduras, a health "reform" bill that discriminates against women (the Stupak-Nelson amendments), gold over $1,100/oz., climbing unemployment and wage deflation, and most recently the two-week long Untied Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen, Denmark where the Global South shook their collective fists demanding the Global North stop hammering them with war, pollution, poverty, disease and debt while the Global North ceded NOTHING. Digging deeper into the TARP give-away Matt Taibi notes in "Obama's Big Sell-Out" @ Rolling Stone "It is bad enough that one of Bob Rubin's former protégés from the Clinton years, the New York Fed chief Geithner, is intimately involved in the negotiations, which unsurprisingly leave the Federal Reserve massively exposed to future Citi losses. But the real stunner comes only hours after the bailout deal is struck, when the Obama transition team makes a cheerful announcement: Timothy Geithner is going to be Barack Obama's Treasury secretary! Geithner, in other words, is hired to head the U.S. Treasury by an executive from Citigroup — Michael Froman — before the ink is even dry on a massive government giveaway to Citigroup that Geithner himself was instrumental in delivering." Change you can believe in, eh? Yes the economy is rolling! Regulators closes banks in Fla., Ariz., Kans., bringing total US failures to 133 this year at StarTribune.com: "Last week saw the failure of Ohio's AmTrust Bank, the fourth-largest bank to fail this year, with about $12 billion in assets and $8 billion in deposits. The Cleveland-based bank's failure is expected to cost the federal deposit insurance fund an estimated $2 billion. ~ The 133 bank failures are the most in a year since 1992 at the height of the savings-and-loan crisis. They have cost the federal deposit insurance fund more than $28 billion so far this year. They compare with 25 last year and three in 2007. The FDIC expects the cost of bank failures to grow to about $100 billion over the next four years." Nice. Moving along to Sunday Funnies it's the Attack of the Senators! On This George it's DICK DURBIN and JON KYL. Face the Bob features ALEXANDER, SNOWE, LANDRIEU and BROWN while Fake News Sunday goes with MCCAIN, CONRAD and KLOBUCHAR. Of course the WH Limo goes to DAVID AXELROD on Meet the David, This George and State of The King, which features NYC Mayor BLOOMBERG and THE GOVERNATOR. Throw bricks at CARVILLE & MATALIN while yer at it!

Everybody load up bricks for This Snufagolpolis and guest crazies MARY CHENEY and MARSHA BLACKBURN while DEBBIE WASSEMAN SCHULTZ tries to hold her own against maximum crazies spewing every LIE about the recent health insurance give-away. You know, of course, that this billl CODIFIES health insurance industry practices into law and will FORCE you into one of the bogus health care insurance's "poliicies". Luke Mitchell explains at Harper's (subscription) Understanding Obamacare The story of capture is repeated again and again, in industry after industry, whether it is the agricultural combinations creating an impenetrable system of subsidies, or television and radio broadcasters monopolizing public airwaves for private profit, or the entire financial sector conjuring perilous fortunes from the legislative void. The real battle in Washington is seldom between conservatives and liberals or the right and the left or “red America” and “blue America.” It is nearly always a more local contest, over which politicians will enjoy the privilege of representing the interests of the rich. And so it is with health-care reform. RECAP: FOR PROFIT Medi-Pharma screws us for years and years and now when the SH1T hits the fan Congress gives their blessing to a RIGGED SYSTEM that benefits huge FOR-PROFIT conglomerates instead of PROVIDING HEALTH CARE FOR ALL. This is, in essence, another "capture" move for the for-profit health-care industry. Don't get us started on the next "capture" give-a-ways to the Nuclear Energy or "Clean Coal" industries. Meanwhile Face the Bob gets a matchup with uber-regessive JON KYL against CHUCK SCHUMER. FAKE NEWS gets DEBBBIE STABENOW fighting off regressives KIT BOND and ARLEN SPECTOR. Watch "The Cost of Dying" on 60 Min after football. Next DICK DURBIN, DIANNE FEINSTEIN, KAY BAILEY HUTCHISON and JOE LIEBERMAN engulf Meet the David to push forward this 'BI-PARTISANSHIPPY" bill on how good/bad it is. State of the King has an ALL DEM board selling this piece-o-crap with MICHAEL BENNTER (CO) JEANNE SHAHEEN (NH) & SHERROD BROWN (OH) (Sherrod we had such great "hope" for you). The Brick TeeVee Crew is busy rehabbing a rental suite (painting, cleaning and so forth) AND HIT DEADLINE so, for brevity we repeat last week's progressive stuff.

ALL LINKS OPEN A NEW WINDOW!!!

President Obama left the country for China and the Far East last week and Hillary Clinton is back from a rocky Mid-East trip while "To Surge or Not To Surge" is left on the stove to simmer a few more days (or weeks). So SoS CLINTON hits the Sunday talkies with appearances with George Snufagolpolis and Meet the David. Shadowing her is RUDY GHOULIANI on This George, State of the King and Fake Snooze Sunday. Also on Meet the David is a discussion about the bi-partisanshippy Privatizing Public Schools with NEWT "Contract ON America" GINGRICH, Education Sec. ARNE DUNCAN and AL SHARPTON. No that's not a misprint: AL SHARPTON. One has to wonder what Al is doing with these creeps pushing this crap as they tour big US inner cities pushing "education reform"? Speaking reform, Face the Bob has a bunch of Afghanistan "reformers" who want more troops sent there, in varying amounts. Watch to see which of these guests IKE SKELTON, PAT LEAHY or PETE HOEKSTRA want the biggest "surge" even though nobody seems to know what the mission is there (except to guard the proposed pipeline routes). Be sure to watch Robert Greenwald's RETHINK AFGHANISTAN series (6 parts) free online - BUT DON'T click on the screen image of each part, or you'll only see the trailer. Look down a few lines under the photos and click on where it says "Watch Part 1 (2,3,4,5,6) in it's entirety". (h/t ms) CHRIS HEDGES talked to a "U.S. Army first lieutenant who was deployed last year and who asked not to be identified by name" and told him in Afghanistan’s Sham Army at TruthDig: “In the Afghan logistics battalion I was embedded with, the commander himself was extorting a local shopkeeper, and his staff routinely stole from the local store,” the adviser said. “In Kabul, on one humanitarian aid mission I was on, we handed out school supplies to children, and in an attempt to lend validity to the ANA we had them [ANA members] distribute the supplies. As it turns out, we received intelligence reports that that very same group of ANA had been extorting money from the villagers under threat of violence. In essence, we teamed up with well-known criminals and local thugs to distribute aid in the very village they had been terrorizing, and that was the face of American charity.” We have pumped billions of dollars into Afghanistan and occupied the country for eight years. We currently spend some $4 billion a month on Afghanistan. But we are unable to pay for whiteboards and markers for instructors at the Kabul Military Training Center. Afghan soldiers lack winter jackets. Kabul is still in ruins. Unemployment is estimated at about 40 percent. And Afghanistan is one of the most food-insecure countries on the planet. What are we doing? Where is this money going? Look to the civilian contractors. These contractors dominate the lucrative jobs in Afghanistan. The American military, along with the ANA, is considered a poor relation. Read the whole disturbing piece. You can bet Mssrs. Skelton, Hoekstra, and Leahy have no idea what's really going on there. Do check the BTV Alerts section for interviews with former Economic Hitman himself JOHN PERKINS and also on Ring of Fire. PBC discusses the Goldstone Report on Israel's attack on Gaza while Max Keiser has on James Turk from GoldMoney.com. AntiWarRadio didn't have anything new so check out those interviews with SCOTT HORTON and GARETH PORTER if you missed them last week. The Brick TeeVee Crew is sore from raking literally MILLIONS of leaves all week. We keep raking, they keep showing up! Fortunately that spunky Climate Change Thing has brought us unseasonably warm weather, so we rake leaves deep into the night. The War on Terrorist Leaves is ON!

ALL LINKS OPEN A NEW WINDOW!!!

Yes they was a shooting at Fort Hood this week and the MSM has desperately tried to link this to "Islamic Extremism". Overshadowed by this extraordinary event are the events that took place in Italy. Alternet reports Claim: CIA Sent Prisoners Abroad to Be Boiled Alive and 'Raped with Broken Bottles': Craig Murray, the rector of the University of Dundee in Scotland and until 2004 the UK's ambassador to Uzbekistan, said the CIA not only relied on confessions gleaned through extreme torture, it sent terror war suspects to Uzbekistan as part of its extraordinary rendition program. "I'm talking of people being raped with broken bottles," he said at a lecture late last month that was re-broadcast by the Real News Network. "I'm talking of people having their children tortured in front of them until they sign a confession. I'm talking of people being boiled alive. And the intelligence from these torture sessions was being received by the CIA, and was being passed on." Glenn Greenwald weighs in with A court decision that reflects what type of country the U.S. is: Yesterday, the Second Circuit -- by a vote of 7-4 -- agreed with the government and dismissed Arar's case in its entirety. It held that even if the government violated Arar's Constitutional rights as well as statutes banning participation in torture, he still has no right to sue for what was done to him. Why? Because "providing a damages remedy against senior officials who implement an extraordinary rendition policy would enmesh the courts ineluctably in an assessment of the validity of the rationale of that policy and its implementation in this particular case, matters that directly affect significant diplomatic and national security concerns" (p. 39). In other words, government officials are free to do anything they want in the national security context -- even violate the law and purposely cause someone to be tortured -- and courts should honor and defer to their actions by refusing to scrutinize them. Greenwald points to Scott Horton @ Harpers Second Circuit Affirms Dismissal of Arar: When the history of the Second Circuit is written, the Arar decision will have a prominent place. It offers all the historical foresight of Dred Scott, in which the Court rallied to the cause of slavery, and all the commitment to constitutional principle of the Slaughter-House Cases, in which the Fourteenth Amendment was eviscerated. The Court that once affirmed that those who torture are the “enemies of all mankind” now tells us that U.S. government officials can torture without worry, because the security of our state might some day depend upon it. And The WSWS report in Obama signs bills for record Pentagon, Homeland Security spending the Nobel Peace Prize winner President Barack Obama signed legislation authorizing the largest ever military budget, a gargantuan $680 billion for the Pentagon, including $130 billion for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. On Thursday, he signed a spending bill funneling another $44 billion into the Department of Homeland Security, to strengthen the apparatus of state repression within the United States....The combined total of $724 billion for war and repression demonstrates the real priorities of the Obama administration, and the American ruling elite as a whole. At that rate, the Pentagon and DHS will spend more in 18 months than the entire cost of Obama’s so-called health care reform. Two months of Pentagon/DHS spending would cover the budget deficits of all 50 states.. But the Sunday Talkies will skirt around all these obvious facts in favor oif the dice and slice the "Fort Hood Shooter" motives. Leading that effort is Army Chief of Staff GENERAL GEORGE CASEY on Meet the David and State of the King. Face the Bob gets a roundtable match of JACK REED, LINDSEY GRAHAM and IKE SKELTON while This Snufagupolis gets Chairmen MICHAEL STEELE and TIM KAINE to yell at each other. Make sure you listen to Ring of Fire Radio with NAOMI KLEIN, Rep. ALAN GRAYSON and BRAD FRIEDMAN. Max Keiser has more good info about GOLD and RENDITIONS plus AntiWar Radio has interviews with the "other" SCOTT HORTON and GARETH PORTER and more plus more info on PBC with SIBEL EDMONDS.
