It’s looking as though Lehman Brothers (LEH) may not be able to count on the federal government for any help in its hour of need, and that has all of Wall Street shaking. Shares of Lehman sank deeper into penny-stock territory on Friday, Sept. 12, as the beleaguered, 158-year-old firm races to find another bank to buy it in a bid to stave off collapse.

‘Who the f*** are you to lecture me?’: Russian minister’s extraordinary rant at David Miliband
Michael Lee and Will Stewart
13th September, 2008
David Miliband was subjected to an astonishing four-letter tirade from his Russian counterpart at the height of the Georgia crisis.
The Foreign Secretary received the undiplomatic tongue-lashing over the telephone after expressing the EU’s anger with the Kremlin, it was revealed yesterday.
At one point Sergei Lavrov, the colourful Russian foreign minister, became so incensed that he reportedly barked: ‘Who the f*** are you to lecture me?’

A Review of David Ray Griffin’s book
Tod Fletcher
12th September, 2008
In THE NEW PEARL HARBOR REVISITED, David Ray Griffin provides a brilliant and much-needed companion to his path-breaking and movement-building book on 9/11, The New Pearl Harbor (NPH; 2004). Now, on the occasion of the seventh anniversary of those horrific events, Griffin surveys in detail all the main lines of evidence against the official account of 9/11 to have emerged during the last four years. THE NEW PEARL HARBOR REVISITED (NPHR) has been designed as volume 2 of a two-volume set with NPH as volume 1; together they provide a thorough and up-to-date case against the official conspiracy theory (they can be bought separately, of course).

The conclusion of the trial of those accused of plotting to blow up transatlantic airlines in 2006 has created a major crisis for the Labour government and the security services. It has revealed the gaping disconnect between public opinion and official propaganda on the “war on terror.” So great is the damage that within days of the verdict the Crown Prosecution Service announced its intention to demand a retrial.
