that the Observer published, telling E&P that the story caused
"controversy."

In Case You Missed it: The Century of the Self 
Video - Adam Curtis' acclaimed series examines the rise of the
all-consuming self against the backdrop of the Freud dynasty.
American corporations realised that self was not a threat but their
greatest opportunity. It was in their interest to encourage people to
feel they were unique individuals and then sell them ways to express that
individuality. To do this they turned to techniques developed by Freudian
psychoanalysts to read the inner desires of the new self.

Ahmadinejad: Investigate the Holocaust
We want to know whether this crime really happened or not. If so,
then those responsible should be punished and not the
Palestinians.
On this point, Ahmadinejad is absolutely correct. Even if the Holocaust
happened exactly as claimed, the Palestinians had nothing to do with it,
and should never have been forced to surrender their homes for it. The
Palestinians are being punished for something they never did. Even David
Ben Gurion acknowledged this when he said,"There has been Anti -
Semitism, the Nazis, Hitler, Auschwitz, but was that their fault ? They
see but one thing: we have come and we have stolen their country. Why
would they accept that?"
There is no moral difference between Zionists claiming an historical
right to Palestine and invading, and Germany claiming an historical right
to the Sudetenland and invading.

Trivializing Corruption
Ninety thousand dollars in a Democratic Congressman's freezer. A

senior Republican thrown in jail for accepting bribes. Washington's
biggest lobbyist thrown in jail for trying to buy off lawmakers. This is
what the Washington Establishment and the media want America to believe
is the worst form of corruption: a few dirty political hacks who had the

The Bogus Take Back America Conference 
If I understand the premise of the Take Back America Conference, their

place under the control of Hillary Clinton and her corporate pay masters
than the Bush cowboys and their corporate cow patties.
