The Last, Lost Empire: 3rd Edition 2012
by Ted Becker

I’ll bet you didn’t know that President Obama has dispatched troops to Uganda in October and that their number will grow into a compact force to be deployed there, and in The Congo, South Sudan and “The Central African Republic”—wherever THAT is.  Right?  Well, here’s the isolated story from ABC News.

“Obama Sends 100 US Troops to Uganda to Help Combat Lord’s Resistance Army”

Why are they there?  Can you spell C-H-I-N-A?   Sad, but true. (more…)

The 100% Strategic Defeat of The American Empire In Iraq: Guess Where the Next One Will Be

Wednesday, November 2nd, 2011

You’ve got to hand it to George W. Obama. He did what millions of Americans begged Lyndon Johnson to do in Vietnam: declared “SUCCESS” and got out of the quagmire while the getting was good.  LBJ didn’t listen and ended up abandoning the presidency. Obama got the message after a couple of years in office. The U.S. Government morons and swindlers who misled America into this disastrous military adventure lost everything that they planned to take and hold strategically…but took and held all the money they could lay their hands on.

So Obama abandoned the bad ship U.S.S. Iraqi Freedom, a vessel without either a rudder or safe, that Dubya and the Neo-Cons sank… (more…)

NEWS FLASH FROM NEWSMAX.COM: Pat Buchanan Becomes Ron Paul and Explains—On 9/11– Why and How the American Empire Must End IMMEDIATELY.

Pat Buchanan in Oval Office with President Reagan in 1982

The most conservative web news portal that I read regularly is www.newsmax.com Frankly, I almost didn’t want to read any more about 9/11 today (Sunday, September 11, 2011)…because to me, that date reminds me too much of the stupidity of America’s foreign “policy”—a series of “plans” that have led to the unfolding disasters confronting the U.S.A. today and well into the foreseeable future.

But I opened their newsletter and saw that they had a column by one of America’s leading “conservative” thinkers, Pat Buchanan, with his take on 9/11—and its aftermath— (more…)

Stephen Colbert Shows Mika Brzezinski How To Report Sarah Palin’s “Real News”

Sunday, June 12th, 2011

A few years ago at Auburn University, I asked the Dean of the School of Journalism at the University of California at Berkeley, who had just given a lecture on freedom of the press in Communist China, what he thought of “The Daily Show.”  He replied with a question of his own: “Isn’t it sad that the only real news you can get on American television these days is on a comedy show?”

We have coined the phrase The Jon Stewart Effect in describing how even “lamestream” (thanks to Sarah Palin for that one) mass media is beginning to cover Sarah Palin in the Jon Stewart style of what he, tongue in cheek, calls “fake news.”  Check out a recent blog of ours on that.

So how should a REAL news journalist on TV cover this woman who probably has as much name recognition in American politics as just about anyone other than past and present presidents?  Mika Brzezinksi,  who is the co-host of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” has a history of resisting “puff” stories that have no “REAL” news content.

America: The Police State. Chapter 2:

In keeping with the easily substantiated theory that American imperial enterprises have created a devolution of political liberty in the United States, both for its own citizens and citizens of other countries who run afoul of what the U.S. imperial government considers to be for “the national security”—or in the “national interest”—here is more straw to add to the camel’s back.

America
, The Police State: Chapter 1

For all of you out there who don’t believe The American Empire abroad has turned into a police state at home, there are now so many stories out there that, by connecting the dots, you come to the discomforting realization that—yes, indeed—America has turned into a “Police State.” This June 2011 news story proves that no one, get that, NO ONE is immune from its brutal tactics.  The U.S. Police State has no bounds!

Israel Adds Fuel to “Arab Spring” By Killing Palestinian Protesters on Syrian Border: A Major Consequence Will Be To Cement the Turkey-Iran-China Alliance

Until quite recently, Turkey was probably Israel’s key ally in the Middle East. This made sense since Turkey is by far the most successful Islamic democracy in the world. In fact, Turkey and Israel’s air forces were close partners, that is, until the Israeli military attack on Gaza from late 2008 to early 2009 in which a multitude of Palestinian citizens were killed and wounded. This high tech military operation against a civilian Muslim population brought about worldwide condemnation, particularly in the Islamic world.

Perhaps the greatest casualty, though, was to Israeli-Turkish relations. The Turks saw this as an atrocity and temporarily broke off diplomatic relations with Israel. Although that is now in the past, the anger and disgust among Turks with Israel festered. (more…)

What The Empire’s Cameras Didn’t Want the Public to See: The Rebel’s Knowledge of the Power of His Death

Friday, May 13th, 2011

When Mark Coleman, one of the founding fathers of The Libertarian Party, posted a link to a satirical blog comparing the death of Osama Bin Laden to Obi-Wan Kenobi in “Star Wars” (Read post), I immediately saw a number of intriguing analogies. And it got me to explore YouTube to see if that “death scene” was there.  Sure enough, there was the duel between Darth Vader and Obi-Wan where Obi-Wan is killed in a laser swordfight.
