[…] tolerate an Islamic Egypt. In 1997 the Islamist leaders were convinced that Abu-Umar al-Amriki was speaking for the CIA — that is, the uppermost echelons of the Clinton administration” (Bodansky, Bin Laden, 212-13). As we shall see, it is the case that Mohamed was allowed to travel to Afghanistan even after his designation as […]
[…] years ago, Webb reveals new information on the Mena Scandal, involving a secret-til-now FBI Organized Crime Drug Task Force into the criminal organization of Arkansas bond-daddy and Clinton best-friend Dan Lasater. In the second edition of Drug Money Times the editor published a mixture of information and speculation on the late Barry Seal, the […]
[…] Later on we bump into speculation on the pro-Nazi sympathies of the Kennedy family (mildly interesting), L. Ron Hubbard, Otto Skorzeny, and David Icke’s view of Bill Clinton, George Bush and the Skull and Bones Society. The illustration are particularly good. I liked the photograph of the flying saucers used by the Luftwaffe in […]
[…] Kansas Populism in the earlier 20th century. It was only ousted from the political agenda recently. Frank’s subtitle claims that this shift was ‘resistable’. He partly blames Clinton for wooing ‘middle America’ too much, and Democrats generally for not having the courage of their real convictions, and not organising like the neo-cons. Can the […]
[…] of neo-con apparatchick Michael Ledeen, should be setting the agenda for the second President Bush came as no surprise; that there was such a continuum through the Clinton years perhaps should. Depending now on a Sunni ‘arc of moderation’ has simply inflamed the area further, with Pakistan, now destabilising, at the fulcrum of this […]
[…] that a light bulb needs to be changed; one to attack the patriotism of anyone who says the light bulb needs to be changed; one to blame Clinton for burning out the light bulb; one to tell the nations of the world that they are either for changing the light bulb or for darkness; […]
[…] New Labour has a particular coordinating role precisely because it can credibly plead the moral high ground as the reformed centre-left. To use the language of the Clinton New Democrats, it ‘triangulates’ and captures the centre-ground for atlanticism. These accidents of history have thus seen several parallel movements emerge, all promoting universal values, of […]
[…] disguise as the UN; the UN plot to take over America; the documents distributed apparently showing the US government planning concentration camps; the coming American Reich under Clinton – the whole ridiculous kit was somehow supported by the Waco slaughter. But where is the fusion here? As far as I can tell, the US […]
[…] structural problems with the American political system (which we know is perfect and sacrosanct). Even the Democratic Party, the victims here, are afraid of it. Obama and Clinton appear to believe that the next presidential election will be just another election; it might be fiddled at the margins by what we might call ‘ordinary […]
[…] courtesy of Ed Balls – but we do not seem have an account from Brown of why he made this journey. It may simply be that the Clinton Democrats persuaded him that there was no alternative if he wanted to get elected; but it would be interesting to know. For all that Brown has […]
