As Commissioned and Non-commissioned Officers in the U.S. military, we took an oath to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same."
Regardless of our current status -- active duty, reserves, retired, or civilian -- that oath remains in force. Therefore it is not just our responsibility as citizens, it is our duty as officers to expose the real perpetrators of 9/11 and bring them to justice, no matter how hard it is, how long it takes, how much we have to suffer, or where it leads us.
We believe the official account of 9/11 as defined in the 9/11 Commission Report is grossly inaccurate and fatally flawed.
It is imperative that we have an accurate understanding of 9/11 so that those responsible can be identified and brought to justice in order that they and similarly-minded people never again commit such heinous crimes.
It is also imperative that we have an accurate understanding of 9/11 so that governmental policies and military actions resulting from 9/11 are based on truth rather than deception.

Peru tilts left in presidential election
Link to excellent analysis of the situation in Peru as it goes to a second round with the left nationalist candidate Ollanta Humala the frontrunner. He was beaten in 2006 by being tainted as a Chavez candidate. This time he has substituted a suit for his former military fatigues and beaten four right wing candidates. He now faces a runoff with the daughter of the jailed former President Fuljimori. The left turn in Latin America is not yet over and Washington will not be at all happy if the nationalist Humala wins. They have made Peru something of a poster boy for their policies in the region, alongside Colombia and Chile. Conditions have remained dire for millions of Peruvians despite years of neoliberal economic growth. Humala has tried to convince the US that he will not threaten stability, according to this report, by moderating his position.

New politics - dead economics
This article really gets to the nitty gritty of what it means to oppose the Coalition, or rather, to articulate a different view of society where solidarity and social equality replace the domination of finance and corporate power. As the writer says, just advocating a return to growth is not offering a better alternative.
The Irish bank crisis has worsened - the bailout is so large that every Irish citizen faces a debt burden of E35,000! Britain and Europe has supported a bailout because they fear contagion from an Irish bank collapse. UK banks are heavily involved in the Irish finance sector. Regardless, an E80 billion bailout for Irish banks is the economics of the madhouse. They are burning down the house so a bunch of greedy bankers can collect on an insurance policy they did not even take out. I just cannot see how this can be made to work. It would be better for us all if there was a run on the banks. In the short term it hurts the shareholders and creditors (let's all weep) and all those affected by this, but longer term society could have a new start - as long as the same old political ideology of corporate cannibalism is thrown in the dustbin.
