Whoever becomes imbued with a noble idea kindles a flame from which other torches are lit, and influences those with whom he comes in contact, be they few or many. How far that influence, thus perpetuated, may extend, it is not given to him here to see. --Henry George




"There would be an end of war and preparations for war if the cost were borne by those responsible for war. There would be an end of armaments and preparedness if incomes and inheritances and the landed estates of the feudal classes paid for the protection which their privileges enjoy.



War and preparations for war are possible only because the ruling classes are able to shift a great part of the cost onto the poor by indirect taxation and loans. War expenditures are tolerated only because the burdens are concealed in the increased cost of the things people consume.

 

"The art of plucking the goose without making it cry out" has been developed to a high state of perfection at the hands of the war makers."  - Frederic Clemson Howe - (1867-1940), ICH, http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/

Figure of hate: Putin is used as target at Ukrainian firing range

Hundreds of Ukrainian troops are feared to have been massacred by pro-Russian forces who allegedly reneged on a deal to allow them to retreat.

Soldiers loyal to Kiev had been attempting to pull out of a besieged town 22 miles east of Donetsk.
Bodies were said to be littering an agreed retreat route where dozens of prisoners were taken by rebels.

Lt Col Nikolai Gordienko, of the Ukrainian National Guard, said: “They were given the corridor to exit and they were shot.

"It is a violation of international conventions.”

Ukrainian volunteer battalions said soldiers had been waving white flags when they were fired on from all sides as they left Ilovaisk.  read more    mirror.co.uk/

A Two-Faced Friendship: Turkey Is 'Partner and Target' for the NSA

By Laura Poitras, , and Holger Stark



On a December night in 2011, a terrible thing happened on Mount Cudi, near the Turkish-Iraqi border. One side described it as a massacre; the other called it an accident.

Several Turkish F-16 fighter jets bombed a caravan of villagers that night, apparently under the belief that they were guerilla fighters with the separatist Kurdistan Worker's Party (PKK). The group was returning from northern Iraq and their mules were loaded down with fuel canisters and other cargo. They turned out to be smugglers, not PKK fighters. Some 34 people died in the attack.

An American Predator drone flying overhead had detected the group, prompting US analysts to alert their Turkish partners. read more
