BetterBadNews looks at controlled opposition politics in the US in the age of cell phone tasers. Why do so many of Noam Chomsky's former advocates on the progressive left challenge his assertion that it does not matter if Muslims are not responsible for the events of September 11, 2001 or if the assassination of President John F Kennedy was a project of the Pentagon Joint chiefs?

Noted Canadian media critic, Barrie Zwicker (Towers of Deception) points out that the Chomsky stand down on 9/11 truth and the Kennedy assassination is mirrored by compromised media gatekeepers including the Daily Kos, the Huffington Post, MoveOn.org and the Democratic party.

Check out this telling broadcast-transcript on financial fraud injustice, (and a threat to all whistleblowers); aired 27 August, 2009 on Democracy Now!

As Obama Golfs with UBS CEO
Days After Firm Avoids Criminal
Prosecution, UBS Whistleblower
Given 40-Month Jail Term

On the first day of his vacation in Martha’s Vineyard, President Obama spent five hours golfing with UBS executive Robert Wolf, an early financial backer of Obama’s presidential campaign. As the pair teed off, another UBS banker, Bradley Birkenfeld, had just been handed a forty-month prison sentence after pleading guilty to assisting a client evade taxes. It was the first sentence in a wider scandal that has seen UBS admit to helping wealthy Americans dodge their tax obligations. On his own initiative, Birkenfeld blew the whistle on UBS. His disclosure and cooperation with US authorities provided inside information into the bank’s conduct and sparked the massive federal investigation. [includes rush transcript]

Whoops!

We've got a new website, over at Manchester Brewing! As usually happens, I forgot to post for a few months. The Studly Monk is aging well. I'm planning a new edition soon, which will have a higher ABV and more orange.

The John Thomas Red and Conspiracy Theory Oatmeal Stout are in the tank. We have a bottling machine on the way, so hopefully sometime this week these two will get into bottles, then become available the following week. The Alt Cntrl Delete is due after that.

Notes on the names:

The John Thomas Red is a very Monty Python kind of name. See if you can guess whose photo that is on the label! We're kind of fond of bad jokes around here, doncha know.
