What a difference a day makes!

Same drill as yesterday, folks.
Firstly, I read the RFK item from yesterday and it was nothing more than a limited hangout that has been known for over 35 years, same as the articles that grace the Globe's front page today. It's a treasure trove of what-might-have-beens that isn't really news at all.
The next thing my attention is drawn to is the deal(?) with Iran. As I noted yesterday, I'm tired of being treated like a yo-yo with deceptive headlines and having my emotion manipulated on a daily basis here, but I did find some elements of the piece telling:
"Senator Chuck Schumer, Democrat of New York, said they would consider pushing for new sanctions in defiance of the Obama administration. The agreement reached in Geneva “makes it more likely that Democrats and Republicans will join together and pass additional sanctions when we return in December,” Schumer said."
Oh, no messy bipartisanship when it comes to what Israel wants, huh?
The article also mentions that conservative think tanks slammed the pact, they quote Mark Dubowitz, a sanctions expert and director of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, a Washington-based think tank that is another neo-con outfit. Globe sure does make you think, though! Seeing as the series is a new e-book (according to a half-page ad in my printed paper) I guess I'll never see the piece about Zionist/Jewish influence through AIPAC and WINEP.
Meanwhile, Kerry said there was no inherent rich to enrich for Iran even though there is per their signing of the NPT agreement. As for Kerry, he is still proving who his masters are -- although it looks as if the slaves may have been disobedient:
"The Obama administration began laying the groundwork for the nuclear pact at a secret meeting in Oman last March that was attended by high-level officials from the US and Iranian governments, the Associated Press reported. America’s closest allies were kept in the dark about the meeting and several subsequent meetings, the Associated Press said, citing senior administration sources who spoke on condition of anonymity."
Oh, Obama authorized secret meeting outside of Zionist/Saudi view, 'eh?
And for good measure an analyst at the Council on Foreign Relations was consulted.
Then the Globe weighs in with agreement, warning that "those who want to attempt to force Iran to its knees economically through sanctions ought to remember what happened when Germany was forced to its knees after World War I. The vast suffering of ordinary people turned bitter, and gave birth to Nazism."
Sigh. I hope you can see why I'm sour on my Globe these days.
Which gets us back to the front page again and a strong dose of Jewish supremaci$m. Eventually you realize the Globe is written of, by, and for the elite classes of Boston. It's not written for me or you.
I know there was another item on the front page but I'm having a hard time recalling what it was; I would go get it checked out but there seems to be a problem with the state's website:
"Significant problems were related to difficulty accessing the troubled federal data hub. But weeks later, many of the most common complaints are about the state website itself. The $69 million website was built by CGI, which helped develop the much-maligned federal site."
I'm not going to get angry as long as you realize that any software sold to Americans is shit. The only good software is for bank ATMS and transactions.
That leads us to my LONE PAGE of national stories today as I flipped my Globe open this morning. As I noted yesterday there was scarcely any national coverage at all, and none of the following items. Turns out the filibuster deal is going to give Obama (and the next president) even more dictatorial powers called "executive power." Who cares if it undercuts everything he has done? That's a "risk Democrats just took." I hate to say I told you so, but I told you so (he is not seriously pushing immigration reform out there, is he?)
As for telling you so, the brief warning was worse than what I imagined. Snow in Phoenix, Arizona at this time of year? A winter storm warning when it is not even winter? I hold you fart-misters personally responsible for these deaths! Adding to my anger is the fact that there is STILL SNOW on the ground today, something the Globe somewhat acknowledges on page B10 of the Metro section I won't be reading. The only other national story in today's Globe is also from Texas. That's all, folks.
As opposed to the twelve articles of world coverage I received yesterday, today's printed Globe shockingly contains only ONE PAGE of WORLD STORIES! My attention is immediately drawn to the lead regarding the Afghan deal (lotta deals being made out there) and the possible zero option because Karzai is creating a commotion. He even got a phone call from John Kerry. I guess I've simply tired of covering peace talk in a war-promoting paper to dig any further for you, dearly beloved readers. Sorry.
Now I understand the placement of the Ukrainian item of Saturday. What we have there is controlled opposition protests advancing intelligence agency goals.
If the Syrian airstrikes of yesterday didn't move you to get on the war bandwagon, maybe four times the casualties will do it (as the Syrian government consolidates ground and routs the insurgents) in what has become "one of the biggest challenging refugee crisis in decades." Wow, has Iraq been forgotten so quickly? There are millions of Iraqi refugees living in Syria (or maybe some place else now). I must admit I am touched by the AmeriKan jewsmedia's concern for the Syrian's plight above all others.
Next door is an article on how the new Egyptian regime is even worse than the Mubarak dictatorship, which is really no surprise. That is going to happen when a Zionist tool takes over your country. For those not in the know regarding the convoluted power politics in Egypt, Morsi was not supposed to win election but the PtB couldn't fix it. Once Morsi went to Iran (proclaiming that Iran, Egypt, and Turkey could solve the region's problems without outside interference) and eased the siege on Gaza his falling fell out fast. His Saudi and oil emirate backers took back the aid offer of billions after Morsi defied the IMF, and he was soon quickly deposed with the generals accepting the IMF loans and the Saudis switching their aid package to backing up the generals -- and then we get the rift with Turkey:
"Egypt’s relations with the United States, its closest Western ally, were troubled for months after the Obama administration spoke out against the violent suppression of Morsi’s supporters, including the killing of hundreds of protesters by Egypt’s security services. The frosty relations led Cairo to rekindle a friendship with Russia, in what was seen as a swipe at the United States. Egypt’s isolation has further eased, as the Obama administration’s own internal feuds about its Egypt policy have come out into the open. In a departure from the administration’s earlier, critical statements, Secretary of State John Kerry has taken to flattering Egypt’s interim leaders and denigrating the Brotherhood."
One can only believe such moves are tied into the unhappiness of the Saudis with recent U.S. policies, no matter how much fawning he lavishes upon them. The flattery will get you nowhere now.
I can't tell you how surprised I was (and not; elections such a preoccupation with my propaganda pre$$) to see Honduras make my Globe once again. I can't remember the last time I blogged about Honduras, and the reason must be the "violence and poverty that have only increased in the four years since President Porfirio Lobo took office" after the U.S.-sponsored coup (has it been that long? I've been blogging for way too long). Word to the AmeriKan media: we call it liberation 'round h're! (I'll bet I will be seeing follow-up articles in the days ahead).
Then there is something about the bones of St. Peter being on display -- and I heard that they are alien!
What is glaringly absent in today's world section?
You guessed it! The Philippines! I guess pneumonia among Filipinos really isn't that much of a crisis after all.
At this point there is nothing left to do but get down to business and skip the shopping trip because gas prices are on the rise again (from $3.35 to $3.39 locally) -- after I was told they would be dipping below $3 a gallon. I also see the $wiss have shown themselves to be nothing but greedy f***s and a "popular base not only for banks and hedge funds, but for major chemical, pharmaceutical, and machinery companies."
Who knows? Maybe in the future my Globe will be delivered to my door in addition to covering the destruction in the Philippines and other places (if government lets them). Ever notice the concerns about privacy are only raised when it relates to the rich?
I guess I'm cutting back on my coverage because I think that is it for today. I hope you like the new format.
