They also discuss the Vomitorium in Florida where Obama's 'historic' mortgage settlement may be used to plug government deficits or political pay rises instead of helping the 11% of mortgage holders in foreclosure.

Nigeria, Africa's most populous nation and its largest oil producer, is from all evidence being systematically thrown into chaos and a state of civil war.

Brendon O'Connell Update: Day 15 & No Plans to End Hunger Strike

Brendon is on a hunger strike until his case is reheard. He alleges that the Australian government–due to pressure from powerful Jewish interests–denied him the right to a free trial and has broken every rule of judicial procedure possible in doing so.

As of this evening, he is into his 15th day of not eating.He said he is holding up well and intends to take this to the end if necessary. He is in solitary confinement, which he prefers for the silence it offers.

NDAA- The final deadly blow to American Liberties & Freedom

The (NDAA) National Defense Authorization Act has been approved and days away from becoming law. This is the same power the history's worst dictators used to slaughter millions of their own people.
