Ungagged: Telling the Sibel Edmonds Story
by James Corbett BoilingFrogsPost.com 8 May 2012 By the time the ACLU immortalized FBI whistleblower Sibel Edmonds as the “most gagged person in the history of the United States of America” for the unprecedented lengths that the government went to to suppress her story, she had already been fighting for years to bring her remarkable tale to the attention of the government’s own supervisory and inv
The Secret US – Japan Nuclear Program
In the wake of the renewal of political platitudes about nuclear arms reduction at the Nuclear Summit in Korea earlier this year, a painstaking decades-long investigation reveals how the United States broke its own laws to supply Japan with 70 tons of weapons grade plutonium for a secret Japanese nuclear weapons program that has been in action since the 1960s. Investigative reporter Joseph Trento

Romney Image Backed by Bush-Era Policy
BloombergBusinessweek By Lisa Lerer on May 07, 2012 Some of the choices are also driven by politics, a person close to the campaign said. Romney limited his proposed elimination of capital gains taxes to incomes up to $200,000. Some of his advisers think the ceiling is too low. In a primary debate last year in Orlando, Florida, Romney said the tax break is aimed at the middle class. A number of a

North Carolina Bans Gay Marriage—Why Would A Public That So Often Has So Little Self-Respect Have Much Care For The Rights Of Others?
Voters in North Carolina have made gay marriage in that state illegal by approving an amendment to the state constitution that will ban such marriages. This was a cruel act by North Carolina voters. Life is brutally short and people should be allowed to live in marriage with the person they most value. If I had it within my power, I would annul the marriages and break apart the families of the peo

Voters In France Reject Austerity—We Must Work Hard And We Must Work Together
French voters have tossed out conservative incumbent Nicolas Sarkozy and have tossed out austerity. (Above–The Eiffel Tower. Photo by Nitot.) Socialist Francois Hollande has been elected as President of France. Austerity is a dead end. Austerity has led Great Britain to a double-dip recession. The people of France understand this fact. You can cling to a far-right ideology of austerity if you
A Fat Cat We're Sad To Lose
Meow, the 39-pound cat died over the weekend of respiratory failure. He seems to have been a sweet cat, although allowed to eat far too much.The other fat cats, who were allowed far too much latitude in financial derivatives, sadly, are still with us.
The Boy Who Cried Wolf - Updated 5/8/12
My Twitter stream, about the middle of the afternoon, started telling me that the CIA had acquired an improved underwear bomb. The various reports were that a plot had been thwarted, but the person with the bomb hadn't been found, and a number of other confusing details. That's par for the course on Twitter. The early news reports didn't have much information. It's the CIA, and if the reporters pr

An IAEA inspector, Okseok Seo of South Korea, has died in an auto accident near Arak in Iran. (If you search the transliteration used by the Iranians, Seo Ok-seok, you’ll just get news stories relating the auto accident.) Accidents, of course, happen. Given that many people in Iran and elsewhere believe that there is a campaign to murder Iranian scientists associated with the nuclear and missile

Why the Right Really Hates Obama
How much influence has the Tea Party really had in American politics? The movement scored real successes in the 2010 election, when the GOP won control of the House and narrowed the Democrats' majority in the Senate. That success bolstered the GOP's budget-cutting fervor and set up the debt-ceiling showdown last summer. And wins by Tea Party candidates at the state level have helped create the w
Blogging Sisterhood
Feminist blogs saved my life. They gave me a community when I felt alone. They gave me hope, provided me with a free education and raised my expectations for myself. They helped me overcome a writer's block that had lasted since college. They radically changed my conception of writing. And then I started one, thereby shooting myself in the foot as a writer. Feminist blogs, many people will allow,
The Poverty of Domestic Violence
In late April, the Police Executive Research Forum released a new survey finding that police officers are encountering more cases of domestic violence as the economy continues to struggle. In 2010, 40 percent of the agencies in the survey reported an increase in domestic violence calls; this year, that number has risen to 56 percent. Numbers from women's shelters, released by the Mary Kay Foundati
In Search of Stripper Solidarity
The last time I danced at a strip club in Manhattan, I paid an $80 "house fee" to work. I was shouted at for slouching in my seat and for eating my lunch at the wrong time, and I went home with $40 less than I'd arrived with. After working in this exploitative industry for many years, I wanted to organize to improve working conditions for strippers. But when I reached out to other activists who ha
Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer
Mars has always been a tempting destination because of the possibility of life. Thus the fascination of Schiaparelli’s ‘canals,’ and Percival Lowell’s fixation on chimerical lines in the sand. But look what’s happened to the question of life elsewhere in the Solar System. We’ve gone from invaders from Mars and a possibly tropical Venus — wonderful venues for early science fiction — to a vastly exp
Planetary Annihilation around White Dwarfs
Can we tell something about the planets around another star by examining that star’s atmosphere? A new study out of the University of Warwick makes a strong case for the method in the study of white dwarfs, following up on a landmark 2007 paper by Benjamin Zuckerman (UCLA) that looked at pollution in white dwarf photospheres. ‘Pollution’ as in metals that shouldn’t be there, which suggests an accr
Home & Cars Expo 2012

I was counting on seeing some innovative home solutions, fancy cars and a lot of appliances for both. As I entered the arena, an ear piercing heavy bike engine race greeted me. Oh wow nice, we have bikes here too… and lots of them, but let

Underpants Nation
I have decided that what claims to be “news” is in fact a figment— not Real at all. My suspicions in this area have been growing for some time.

Several days ago I was confronted with the following headlines: (1) “Docs Reveal Hitler Farted, Received Sex Injections, Craved Cocai

It is amongst them that the cattle are found which walk backwards as they graze. The reason for this curious habit is provided by the formation of their horns, which bend forwards and downwards; this prevents them from moving forwards in the ordinary way, for, if they tried to do so, their horns would stick in the ground. The hole-men, or troglodytes, eat snakes and lizards and other reptiles and

Pirates win in Schleswig-Holstein, do well in Greece
There were two elections yesterday where Pirates did well. One was in Schleswig-Holstein in Germany where the Pirate Party got 8.2% of the vote and won 6 seats. The other was the Greek general election. Here, the Pirates got 0.5% of the vote, which is a good performance for a party that didn’t exist at the start of the year. I’m sure we’ll be hearing a lot more from the Greek Pirates over the cour

There's 15 days left to the Egyptian presidential elections. We examine the insurgent campaign of Islamist Abdel Moneim Aboul Fotouh, ask whether the Muslim Brothers are dangerously off-balance as they try to catch up, look at Amr Moussa's claim that he's the only candidate ready to be president on day one, and wonder whether the Abbaseya clashes and other factors contributing to Egypt's political
Hosni Mubarak, the man with no ideas
Dull and dependableSteve Cook, talking about his new book The Struggle for Egypt [Amazon], discusses Mubarak's legacy and failure: Mubarak, having come of age during the era of the Free Officers and having witnessed Sadat’s assassination first-hand, saw the problems associated with trying to resolve Egypt’s underlying identity questions through some bold ideological vision, and opted for a strate
Meanwhile in Juba...
A former Cairene friend writes from South Sudan: I'm pretty sure I just recognized a (current? former?) Amn al-Dawla [State Security] officer eating lunch at one of the fanciest hotels in Juba (which is not saying much). He was talking to an older fat man about a whore. I relayed this information to the friend I was having lunch with, who said, "There are a lot of them here." Me: "A lot of foreig

On Mediapart's Libya-Sarkozy scoop
The French news site Mediapart has released another document it claims shows that French President Nicholas Sarkozy and his close associates had maintained backdoor ties to the Libyan government from 2005 to 2011, including a 2005–6 agreement to allegedly funnel 50 million Euros worth of Libyan money into Sarkozy’s campaign chest. The December 10, 2006 letter in question is said to be an official
