    WARNING: This text  contains disturbing images! Global sales of arms and military services by the 100 largest defense contractors increased in 2010 to $411.1 billion, according to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute. The increase reflects a decade-long trend of growing military spending. Since 2002, total arms sales among the 100 largest arms manufacturers have increased 60%. The institute recently published its annual report on the leading arms producing companies in the world — SIPRI Top 100. The report identifies the largest companies in the sector and provides each company’s arms sales as a percentage of its total sales. Based on the report, 24/7 Wall St. identified the 10 companies with the highest revenue from arms sales. These companies alone account for $230 billion — over half of all arms sales that year. While many industries continued to suffer in 2010 as a result of the financial crisis, leaders in the arms and military services were la

The leaders of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), the gently named but dangerous behemoth dominated by the United States - and history’s largest global military cohort - plan to meet in Chicago on May 20 and 21. The tiny fraternity of concentrated wealth and power that calls itself the Group of Eight (G8) was to have met in Chicago in mid-May as well, overlapping with NATO. Fearing massive protests, the G8 cancelled, retreating to Camp David, Maryland, chased out of town by a coalition of dissidents, activists and agitators. Isolated and inaccessible, Camp David is where the “leaders” of the planet’s eight wealthiest countries belong - sequestered and remote, barricaded and cut off in every imaginable way. The Camp David move illuminates the elite’s isolation from the people they pretend to represent. By the same token, NATO - a military alliance of 28 countries, - is the only major intergovernmental body without a basic information disclosure policy. It's a

NaturalNews exclusive report, please credit with link. NaturalNews can now report that 65-year-old senior citizen James Stewart, a raw milk farmer with no criminal history, was nearly tortured to death in the LA County jail this past week. He survived a "week of torturous Hell" at the hands of LA County jail keepers who subjected him to starvation, sleep deprivation, hypothermia, loss of blood circulation to extremities, verbal intimidation, involuntary medical testing and even subjected him to over 30 hours of raw biological sewage filth containing dangerous pathogens. This is from a county that has targeted and terrorized James Stewart for the supposed crime of selling fresh milk containing "dangerous pathogens." That's right - the only "crime" James has ever committed is being the milk man and distributing milk that is openly and honestly kept fresh and raw instead of pasteurized. So as part of his punishment of advocating raw cow's milk, h

It seems these days the water is so pro-imperialist campaigns at the same time that it is almost impossible to set aside adequate time for each. In the midst of economic disaster, there is hyper-militarism, which is literally "out of control." In America the unemployed pile, half of the nation now officially living in poverty, many of them survive only with the help of "food stamp" - but at the same time, American militarism is so aggressive that I literally no longer knows where it first "intervened. " The focus now shifted and Uganda, called for a new intervention against the "bogeymen" named Joseph Kony, leader of an obscure paramilitary group LRA, kind in Africa - the effects of neo-colonialism - there are hundreds. First of all, it is important to note that the U.S. military is already entered in Uganda, Obama has sent several hundred troops already this winter, but - as he then said - he wants more troops in the country, thousands of

After the expected, but still great, the victory of Vladimir Putin, the Russian presidential election, many analysts are still trying to answer - what does this mean for Russia, but also for the world? One thing is certain, the Western media, even before the election, tried in every possible way to diminish the legitimacy of Russian elections, Putin calling for fraud. But the Russians to these threats, aimed at the incitement of demonstrations, answer the installation of a large surveillance systems, so that ultimately the Russian elections were one of the more transparent in the world in general. Of course, it will not stop criticism - today announced the head of OCCE's (Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe), Croatian politician Tonino Picula, who said that the elections in Russia had "serious problems" as the main argument states that "no any real competition "and that" the government misused the resources to provide the ultimate winne

It has been painful and disgusting for me to watch the US continue to devolve into a beast worse than any real or perceived ‘terrorist’. With the passage of The Defense Authorization Act, aka: Bill S.1867, the leadership of America has proven to the world that are psychopathic, traitorous, treasonous and do not stand for anything that has made America in the past the beacon of freedom, liberty, democracy and hope in this world. They have also proven they are anti-freedom, anti-liberty, anti-democracy, anti-justice, and anti-rule of law. Whatever scant remains of a moral high ground the US government may have claimed in the midst of all of its grotesque lies and misdeeds, and its malfeasance of office since 9-11-2001, it was forfeited it with the passage of S.1867. When any citizen of the US can be perceived, deemed, or even deliberately painted as an enemy combatant of ‘this government’, that person can now be detained without trial indefinitely. To Hell with the US Cons
