ONE OF INTERPOL'S MOST WANTED, "MERCHANT OF DEATH" VIKTOR BOUT, WAS ARRESTED BY THAI POLICE @ a Bangkok hotel as he was preparing to sell weapons of mayhem to Colombian-based FARC rebels over the Information Stuporbahn.
Mr. Bout, when you get right down to it, just loved to flaunt UN trade embargoes in supplying the implements of mayhem and destruction to the weird and unwholesome element since the former Soviet Union collapsed.
In any case, call it dumb luck that the Thai police caught up with perhaps the weirdest of the weird and unwholesome before he had designs on selling mayhem and fear to the American "patriot" movement, perhaps.

"DOWN UNDER," PROSTITUTION IS LEGAL ... BUT SEX SLAVERY IS NOT. Nor is forcing prostitutes to pay off their debts through performing Mrs. Warren's Profession almost constantly, for as much as 20 hours a day.
Such was the state of affairs as befell ten South Korean women rescued by Sydney police the other day in the wake of the prostitution ring they were tricked into working for being broken by police, its ringleaders facing charges of False Enticement, Debt Bondage and Immigration Fraud (as in recuriting the ladies under false pretenses).
THERE CAN BE NO MISTAKING THE FACT THAT WE COULD BE LIVING IN TIMES OF REAL OR IMMINENT SOCIOECONOMIC DISLOCATION, what with newly-released calculations showing further erosion of employment numbers and estimates that the number will only get worse--with this being an election year making things all the more complicated.
In any case, expect there to be plenty of carpetbaggery by the so-called "giftingclub" community among especially working-class communities in or close to serious risk of adverse socioeconomic impact, and all the more so in lower-income neighbourhoods.
Incentive enough, methinks, to call for "missionary work" to promote the viability of mutual self-help as the best empowerment tool for the Lower Classes (and I'm not talking the travesty therefor which Fox Noise wants thus packaged).

WORTH YOUR READING:This essay on BraveNewFilms.org as gives five reasons why only 3,600 viewers, out of an estimated 30 million cabled homes nationwide theoretically able to watch it, watch Faux Business Network on any given day.
Never mind that Faux Business is being promoted as CNBC for Joe Sixpack and his hard-wired conservative mindset....

ANOTHER ANGLE FOR TO "SWIFT-BOAT" JOHN McCAIN'S PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN WITH (AND THEN SOME), thanks to the following advert from the freshly-launched 501(c)(4) "Campaign to Defend America" (thanks to Think Progress for the hat tip):
In short, a vote for McCain is a vote to "stay the course" towards what may be the unwitting destruction of our "antient and pecuilar soverignty and soverign identity" brought about by His Frauduelency's "inside of the inside," predominated, for the most part, by the weird and unwholesome element, including the ilk of:
drug addicts;
alcoholics;
sex fiends and perverts (especially pedophiles);
wife- and/or child-abusers;
such with Notorious Police Records including stints in Corrective Schools;
chronic and habitual gamblers or spendthrifts;
such with "broken home" or otherwise dysfunctional family histories as can be easily exploited;
undischarged bankrupts; and
the Archie Bunker/Alf Garnett element.
Which, (un)knowingly, amounts to an (un)conscious Fifth Column within the Beltway--only they prefer to project the likelihood thereof to "liberals," "Secular-Progressives" and "closet Communists" to avoid attracting suspicions among "those Meddling Bloggers" in the Freddie Jones, Daphne Blake, Velma Dinkley, Norville "Shaggy" Rogers and Scooby-Doo vein (or so they must fear pro Deo et patria).

AND STAYING WITH THE EARLY-MORNING BOMBING YESTERDAY NEAR THE LITTLE THEATER OFF TIMES SQUARE, and the search for the perps thereof:
How do we know we're not really dealing with an agent provocateur in the pay of Fox Noise (all the more taking unscrupulous advantage of his psychoemotional instability, and history thereof) seeking cheap and cheerful means by which to whip up a new round of Islamophobically "patriotic" anti-terrorist paranoia among their audience of the weak-minded and easily-led, shopping Wally World for the most part just because they offer lower prices and have no regard for value for money?
