Sigh. I was not going to comment on David Patraeus gross dereliction of duty but several colleagues are totally pissed off and they are correct to be angry. Here are a mix of supposition and fact along with my conclusions on this sorry disgrace to the Republic. HOWEVER, I conclude this is not about Patraeus — many others should be indicted along with him and many others have committed high crimes and misdemeanors that exhonerate him in relative terms.

UPDATED to integrate specific observations from IDENS A-C.

UPDATED to add key paragraphs from Marcy Wheeler at SALON and Ray McGovern.

5 of 5 Stars. Truth of american foreign policy

By Joan M McGreevy on June 6, 2013

[This book] was not a big surprise to me since I have been aware of the nature of our bloody brutal empire for about 10 years when I was 42, but it did reveal to me some things that I was still unaware of. I devoured it. I finished it much quicker than most books I read. I particularly love pages 16 and 17 where he gives 6 main points the empire is interested in.1 The US does not mean well. 2. The US is not concerned with democracy. 3. Anti-american terrorists are motivated by decades of awful things done to their homelands by US foreign policy. 4. The US supports terrorism against “OFFICIAL” enemies. 5. Iraq was no threat to the US. 6. There was never any such animal as the International Communist conspiracy. Read it for yourself and judge for yourself!

What Are They Really Up To? The BRICS Plus Germany

EXTRACT

It will take quite a while, and there will be many bumps on the road, but a Berlin-Moscow-Beijing trade/commercial axis ā€“ or the ā€œRCā€ in BRICS meet Germany ā€“ is all but inevitable. And no, you wonā€™t read that in any wacky US ā€˜Think Tanklandā€™ ā€œforecast.ā€

What's America's Fragility Score?

These five factors function as a rough rating system to measure a nation's fragility. Nations with near-zero scores in all five factors are anti-fragile (i.e. durable and able to weather crises) and nations with high scores in all five are fragile, i.e. prone to instability and failure when faced with crisis.

How does the U.S. stack up? 4 out of 5 FRAGILE

New: It's Open Season on the Tech Elite

…we are going to find out very quickly that theĀ corporation, and particularly tech companies, are particularly bad organizations for warfare. Ā One reason is that they are too centralized. Ā The CEO's centrality to the corporate network makes him/her a single point of failure for the entire organization. Ā Another is that executives in most of the western world are very soft targets.

Old: PIERCING THE CORPORATE VEIL

Is business war?Ā  It is in the world of post-industrial, post-state conflict. Battles between the corporate allies of nation-states and the transnational tribes and gangs of black globalization are at the core of this century's epochal war.

Dear Ana Lis,

It was great to meet you, to talk for hours with enthusiasm and humor, and to establish a connection with Argentina's DemocracyOS movement.Ā  (For the info of those on the To and Cc list above who are not familiar with DemocracyOSĀ  it is a grassroots open source system in Argentina for online proposals, discussion, and voting on legislation.Ā  It is connected to a separate political party – the Net PartyĀ  – which runs candidates committed to voting on legislation according to what citizens decide on DemocracyOS.Ā  Both DemocracyOS and the Net Party have some parallels elsewhere in the world and are themselves spreading their memes to other places.)
