South Africa attempts to avoid displeasing China by giving the Dalai Lama the run-around in classic Apartheid-era tactic of not allowing passports for disingenuous reasons.

Al-Qaida rejects Iran's 9/11 conspiracy theories
So what do we think here? Al-Qaida, who initially denied responsibility for 911 (while Usama was alive), is criticizing Iran for promulgating 911 conspiracy theories.
Is Iran just espousing popular rhetoric to win the hearts and minds of the anti-war and truther psychographics? Does Ahmadinejad championing the alt 9/11 theory add more gravitas to it or open it up for ridicule?

I am amazed at the decentralized coordination and marketing sophistication of Anonymous. Their cause has absorbed many talented people into the fold. It is designed to withstand apostasy and co-opting. Big things coming from your 4chan buddies.

I have been saying this over and over. The overlap between liberal progressives and libertarians is huge, on key issues. They may differ on education and healthcare, but on a hundred other points they line up.
Here Nader talks about how he is disenfranchised with the democratic side of things and seems to state he thinks Ron Paul would do better in office than anyone in his party (excluding...

Cannibalism Confirmed Among Ancient Mexican Group
Ancient Mexican group ritually defleshed, boiled, and ate enemies from local villages to appease gods and ensure fertility of crops next season, all while singing and dancing.
We can’t know for sure if they also sang karaoke during the bacchanalia, but we think they did.

Fuck the NyTimes- they’re the reason talking politics with your parents is so frustrating.
This type of corporate pandering and establishment friendly journalism is the hallmark of a brainwashed nation. Boycott mainstream papers and media.

Is this a good thing? A company named Vadxx takes plastics not fit to recycle and reduces them down to crude oil from whence they came.
I suppose if we can re-use them that’s great, but is this a better product than downcycled timber and other applications for recycling’s castoffs?

Strange Is American Religion, Stranger Is American...
The one unifying factor in religious belief, it seems, is ignorance about yours and other faiths.
It is a curious thing, when intelligent people follow or uphold the tenets of a religion.
How do they reconcile their belief? How do they bypass the logical red-flags and adopt supernatural paradigms?

Mace in the Face: Is the US a Police State?
Most Americans will go to sleep tonight after being totally occupied with their day to day life, to busy to reflect upon the subtle changes that are happening all around them.
Others are recovering from assaults by police who are paid by their tax dollars to protect them.
Russia released a study a few months back stating that America is more of a fascist police state than Germany was during...
