Meanwhile, in Iraq... (Get a hit of that Smaq!)




"Remember Iraq,
Was crack,
From way-back?
Had to get a hit of my Smaq,
It's payback!

911 alert,
Flirt,
With my heartbeat,
My heart beaten up,
Now my heart bleed,
My lungs wheeze,

My body battered-
It's mind, over matter,
Does it really matter?
Idle chatter?
Getting fatter?

Getting sadder by the day,
Madder than we'll say,
Badder than we'll pray to ever be,
Any other day,

Any other way to see it,
Is to see it, as lies,
We got "why's",
But,
We still close our eyes,

We still disguise the bad guys,
We can't bear to look,
But they still the "bad guys",
Just check the playbook,

We gotta play shook,
Or the crooks gonna win,
The crooks gonna sin,
Did you forget they're "bad guys", again?!

Again and again, and again,
And again,
They'll suck us in,
Press they' luck again,
So, we gotta run and duck again,

Explain to me?
The "War on Terror", G?
The war's in error, see?
We live in terror, "free"?

We livin' in fear of demons schemin',
Foreign faces, in scary places,
Nary a trace of proof,
But we still, screw our faces,

We still screw those places,
Thanks to mental pollution,
If you were in charge:
What would be your solution?

Can't say:
"Well, what should we do?"
I ain't you,
But I'll say it's true,
If you can't do for you:
Then you're through..."

Meanwhile, in Iraq...

By Dahr Jamail
Dahr Jamail's Iraq Dispatches

Thursday 15 September 2005

For the last several days at least 6,000 US soldiers along with approximately 4,000 Iraqi soldiers (read - members of the Kurdish Peshmerga and Shia Badr Army) were laying siege to the city of Tal-Afar, near Mosul in northern Iraq. It is estimated that 90% of the residents have left their homes because of the violence and destruction of the siege, as well as to avoid home raids and snipers.

The Fallujah model is being applied yet again, albeit on a smaller scale. I haven't received any reports yet of biometrics being used (retina scans, finger printing, bar coding of human beings) like in Fallujah, but there are other striking similarities to the tactics used in November.

While the US military claims to have killed roughly 200 "terrorists" in the operation, reports from the ground state that most of the fighters inside the city had long since left to avoid direct confrontation with the overwhelming military force (a basic tenet of guerrilla warfare).

Again like Fallujah, most of the families who fled are staying in refugee camps outside the city in tents amidst horrible conditions in the inferno-like heat of the Iraqi summer.

The LA Times reported that Ezzedin Dowla, a Turkmen leader in the area said, "Families are homeless and the government has not provided any shelter, food or drink for them." Nor has the US military.

The targets of this military operation are the Sunni Turkmen who are politically on the side of the Sunni Arabs. Most Sunnis will be voting against the constitution during the coming vote of October, 15th.

The Cheney Administration is desperate for something it can spin as "good news" from Iraq; thus, it most certainly behooves them to have the referendum on the constitution to boast about. But in order to do so, the voting ability and power of the Sunni (and Sunni Turkmen) must be severely compromised, as well as punishment meted out for rightfully assuming what will be a Sunni no-vote on the constitution.

Both the Cheney Administration and its current puppet-government in Iraq benefit from destroying the voting (and living) ability of the majority of people in the "Sunni triangle," so we have the operation in Tal-Afar, most likely to be followed by similar operations in al-Qa'im, Haditha, Samarra, and possibly more.

In Tal-Afar, the propaganda spewed by the US military (and Iraqi "government") was that the operation was to fight terrorists coming into Iraq via Syria. If that were true, why did the US military remove troops from the border with Syria who were supposed to be preventing infiltration by foreign fighters? Instead of guarding the border, as they should, they engaged in the operation against Iraqi Sunni Turkmen. Working in unison, the US military launched the heavy-handed attack with the "authorization" of Prime Minister Ibrahm Jaafari, the leader of the Shia Dawa Party. Jaafari even went so far as to venture to Tal-Afar on Tuesday to visit troops and have his photograph taken.

"Authorization" was given by the Iraqi government for the attack on Tal-Afar, just as "authorization" was given by then interim Prime Minister Iyad Allawi for the November, 2004 massacre in Fallujah. "Authorization," when the US military would never, ever allow any foreign power jurisdiction over American forces, least of all a puppet government.

Correspondents with Azzaman media in Tal-Afar miraculously made it into the city and reported that residents are disputing reports that US and Iraqi soldiers have killed scores of "insurgents." Like Fallujah, these residents of Tal-Afar are reporting that most of the people killed were civilians who had no place to go so they chose to stay in their homes. People also stayed because they feared persecution at the hands of the Peshmerga and Badr Army.

I recently interviewed an Iraqi man from that area at the Peoples' UN conference in Perugia, Italy. He told me, "Most people in Mosul and Tal-Afar would rather be detained by the Americans now, because they know if Iraqi soldiers or Iraqi police detain them they will be tortured severely, and possibly killed. This gives you an idea of how bad it is with these Iraqi soldiers, even in the shadow of what the Americans are still doing in Abu Ghraib."

As for "foreign fighters," one of the Azzaman correspondents quoted a resident of Tal-Afar as saying, "We used to hear (from news reports) of the presence of some Arab (foreign) fighters in the city, but we have seen none of them."

Life in Iraq remains a living hell. Blood flowed in the streets of Khadamiya yesterday as a horrendous car bomb killed 112 people in the predominantly Shia neighborhood. And once again, calls of solidarity were made from the nearby Sunni neighborhood of Adhamiya and residents emerged from their homes to help their brothers and sisters across the river, just as they did after the panic and chaos which recently took the lives of nearly 1,000 Shia.

The horrendous totals from yesterday were 160 dead, 570 wounded Iraqis as the result of the string of attacks and at least a dozen car bombs. The blowback from the Jafaari "authorized" state-sponsored terrorism in Tal-Afar took little time to materialize in the capital city.

If Jafaari was more honest with his press appearances, along with his photo-op in Tal-Afar he should have had his photo taken amidst the charred, smoking body parts strewn about the streets of Khadamiya, which was a result (albeit just as horrific) of his Tal-Afar "authorization."

On that note, Jalal Talabani, Iraq's puppet president, was in a press conference in Washington DC with Mr. Bush just hours before the blowback began.

Meanwhile, one of my friends in Baghdad writes me, "Dear Dahr, how are you dear pal? I am very sorry for what happened after Hurricane Katrina. It is a real tragedy. I hope none of your friends or family was affected. It is a tragedy which makes one speechless."

This when he goes to work each day hoping to make it home alive to see his wife and newborn daughter.

And another of my friends in Baghdad wrote me recently, "I'm so sorry that I didn't email you the previous days ... the situation in Tal-Afar has become so much worse for the people. It is terrible what is going on there and nobody can say anything because as usual the military operation is still going on and they are trying to keep all the media out. They have also started another operation in another area of al-Anbar province and they will soon start one in Samarra."

My interpreter when I'm in Iraq, Abu Talat, has been willing to take the risk of working with me there. To give you an idea of the lengths he's willing to go to, he gave me the green light to come to Iraq last November, just before the massacre in Fallujah began. It is safe to say times were quite tense then, with kidnappings and beheadings having long since become the norm.

"The Minister of Defense is threatening not only Fallujah but all of the Ramadi Governorate, I can tell you very surely about that," he wrote in a recent email to me and a colleague who was hoping to enter Iraq to work as a reporter. (Today, US warplanes began dropping bombs inside the city of Ramadi.)

"No one can support you working here. We are having a very critical situation. For this reason, I think that coming to Iraq in this critical time is not accepted. I was very, very welcoming to any of your friends, Dahr, but not in this time. Sorry, but for your own safety. Take good care of yourself."

Today at least 30 more Iraqis have died in violence across their occupied country and it will only continue to worsen.

Toronto Attacked by Terrorist Bombings on Sunday, September 18, 2005 = Should've asked Kelly at Boilingfrog.ca "Why???"

[b.frog] UPDATE: Terror Drill Sunday

Update
Friday September 16

The TTC Chairman’s office told me that this Sunday’s terror drill is also being co-ordinated with TD Centre and Royal Trust Tower. There is also an Emergency Management Program Committee which Toronto’s Mayor Miller is on. No confirmation yet from the Mayor’s office that this is indeed so, and what if any role this committee is playing in the drill.

I’m now told that the drill is running from 8:30 am – 1:00 pm

What I had referred to as ‘Joint Commission on Chemical Biological Nuclear (threats, events?)' is in fact Joint Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear Response Team or CBRN Response Team. It was set up by the Province of Ontario following the September 11, 2001 attacks, and receives its funding from the Province.

However, Minister Kwinter’s office (Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services, under which is Emergency Management Ontario) tells me that the Province is not involved, and that it is organized by the City of Toronto.

Another organization funded by the Province which may be involved is the Heavy Urban Search and Rescue. http://www.city.toronto.on.ca/ems/operations/husar.htm

When I asked who heads up Emergency Management Ontario, I was told it was Julian Fantino. I’ve been playing phone tag with a spokesperson from that department, and have no further details at this time.

The original media report by Bob Comsic, CFRB was based on a story he remembered seeing in the July 8 Toronto Star, where Rick Ducharme of TTC was quoted as saying an exercise will take place this fall, involving the army. I haven’t seen the article myself, just going by what Comsic tells me. CFRB will be covering the event on Sunday. Their newsroom number is 416-323-7401.

I include below the original story sent Thursday Sept 15, as well as links to back up my claim of ‘During both the attacks of 9/11 and 7/7 in London of this year drills mirroring the actual attack were taking place at the exact same time’.


For those curious what are the TD Centre and Royal Trust Tower, links for those too.


Agency planned exercise on Sept. 11 built around a plane crashing into a building

Wed Aug 21, 7:45 PM ET By JOHN J. LUMPKIN, Associated Press Writer


WASHINGTON - In what the government describes as a bizarre coincidence, one U.S. intelligence agency was planning an exercise last Sept. 11 in which an errant aircraft would crash into one of its buildings. But the cause wasn't terrorism — it was to be a simulated accident. ... cont. follow next link

Is This Just A Test? (edited for correction)

On Sunday, September 18, 2005, a ‘terror drill’ will take place in Toronto. As confirmed by TTC spokeswoman, Marilyn Bolton, St Andrew subway station will be closed from 6 am until 12 noon for what she describes as a ‘pretty good event’.

Because a drill was being conducted at the very locations and times of the London bombings on July 7, 2005, exactly mirroring the attacks, I think it prudent to detail as much information before it happens here.


Bolton told me that those involved in this ‘mystery plot’ are the Emergency Medical Services, Toronto Fire Department, Toronto Police Services, The City of Toronto Emergency Planning Department, The Toronto Transit Commission and a Joint Chemical Biological Radiological Nuclear Response Team. The Toronto Police Services are
co-ordinating the simulation, and that they are putting out a press release on Friday, September 16.

I know of one media report concerning this already, taking place between Monday and Tuesday, September 12, 13, on Toronto radio station CFRB. It was after hearing of this second hand that I began to make a few phone calls. I was already under heightened awareness after hearing Anne MacLellan on CBC news, Monday September 12 tell media that there is a need to ‘practice terror drills in real time.’

The following is my account of those calls, and what I’ve learned from them. Please keep in mind that this an incomplete investigation into the details of this Sundays terror drill, and that I was continually told to contact the Toronto Police to find out more, which I have not done.

The first call went out to Access Toronto 416-338-0338, where I received the Emergency Planning Department number, 416-392-4554, and was told the exercise is taking place in Councillor Kyle Rae’s ward. Councillor Rae was unavailable when I tried, and his assistant was reluctant to pass a message on to him because he is not my councillor. Further I was told Councillor Rae has no information regarding this event. His phone number is 416-392-7903.

I called my Councillor, Joe Pantalone, and was unable to speak with him, but left a message, and expressed my concerns about terror drills, and the incredible coincidences of attacks taking place at the same time. A staffer assured me she will try and find out what’s going on, and get back to me, but I’ve yet to hear anything.

The Emergency Planning Department offered up 3 names who are co-ordinating this exercise for the city, Greg Spasyna, Robert Tavner, and Warren Leonard, Manager – Office of Emergency Management. It was initially difficult to get those names, and when I asked to speak with one of them I was told they are in a meeting.

Isn’t that always the way?

I asked to leave a message directly on their voice mail, where I was discouraged from doing so, and that a message would be passed along. I insisted, and was put through, to, wait for it, a dead line. I phoned back, only to be disconnected immediately. The third time I called, it went directly to the answering machine. I haven’t tried
them again.

Marilyn Bolton is with TTC Public Affairs. This is the person who contacted me after my original queries with the TTC, where I was told to ask the Police who was involved. I mentioned that I shouldn’t have to ask the Police for information regarding the TTC, and asked again for the point person from the TTC. I was told it is through their safety department, but couldn’t get a name of anyone in charge there, again referred to the Police. Being persistent, I was told someone from the safety department would contact me. I’m still waiting for that call.

It is Marilyn Bolton who informed me of a forthcoming press release from the Toronto Police Services, and that it can be found sometime Friday September 16, on the Canada News Wire website. Maybe she means this one, http://www.newswire.ca/en/ .

Bolton confirmed the event is taking place between 6 am and noon on Sunday, and that an advisory will go out instructing people all access to St. Andrew Subway station will be closed for this drill. Shuttle buses will be made available to take riders between Union and Osgoode stations. John O’Grady is the liason working with the police until ‘the clock starts ticking’ then General Manager Rick Ducharme takes over.

TTC Chair, Howard Moscoe, returned my call, but at the exact moment I asked if he could shed light on the upcoming terror drill, the phone went dead. No dial tone, no busy signal, nothing. For nearly 15 minutes I tried every phone, disconnecting and reconnecting. Still nothing. After returning from a pay phone to ask the phone company what happened, it was working again, and a message from Moscoe trying back after the disconnection. I’ve been unable to reach him since. His number is 416-392-4027, but apparently he will not be available until after the weekend.

Finally, I tried the Mayor’s Office. David Miller was ‘in a meeting’, but I expressed my concerns and asked to speak with somebody in his office who may know what’s going on. His assistant returned my call, was unaware of ay terror drill taking place this weekend, and didn’t know if the Mayor was either. I expressed my surpise that no one in the Mayor’s office would know about this, especially when it is being co-ordinated with The City of Toronto, Emergency Medical Services, The Toronto Police Services, Fire Department, etc.

I insisted that he pass along my concern, and the best assurance I received is that he would contact the TTC himself, and if in fact there was a drill going on, then he would notify the Mayor.

To all the people I spoke with I expressed my interest in this matter because of the London July 7 bombings, and that I was searching for all the players involved in this weekends events. I think besides knowing who is involved, including any private firms and the people directly responsible for the drill, we should have a full understanding of the type of drill being conducted. We have a clue with the Joint Chemical Biological Radiological Nuclear Response Team.

So, I ask you fellow citizens, please be aware that this drill this weekend is indeed taking place in Toronto this weekend. During both the attacks of 9/11 and 7/7 in London of this year drills mirroring the actual attack were taking place at the exact same time.

In all my calls this past two days I mentioned this fact concerning the London bombings as reported by the BBC and CBC, who both interviewed Peter Power, of Visor Consultants, who told the media “At half past nine this morning we were actually running an exercise for a company of over a thousand people in London based on simultaneous bombs going off precisely at the railway stations where it happened this morning, so I still have the hairs on the back of my neck standing up right now".

Yeah, no kidding.

Now, I share all this with you. A small group of 800 email recipients. I will also post it to my blog http://www.boilingfrogsblog.blogspot.com , in addition to any
updates or action strategies as they arise. Please forward as you see fit.

SO: It's about to blow...


No worries man, keep ya head up, it's about to hit the fan in the Dot: as one of the so-called "5 Christian nations" on Al-Qaeda's list, it's simply our turn...


Apr 2004 - Canada Designated by al-Qaeda to be Top-5 Target: U.S. researchers have issued a frightening warning for Canada. An online Arabic manual for the al-Qaeda terrorist network, called al-Battar Military Camp, now explicitly supports assaults on Canadians. It says Canada is the fifth most important "Christian Terrorist" target, coming after Americans, Britons, Spaniards and Australians. The disturbing guide encourages attacks on businessmen, politicians, scientists, soldiers and tourists. The 'al-Battar' publication first appeared in January 2004 and has produced several issues. It has been described as a How-To manual for islamic terrorists. Bin Laden himself has explicitly threatened Canada on at least two occasions in the past eighteen months. Of the countries that Bin Laden has personally ever singled out, only two have yet to be attacked - Canada, and Jordan. Security experts believe that Bin Laden intends to make good on those threats.

It's all crap, it's all lies, and it's all designed to make us curl up in a Big Government Blankie and cry. Make no mistake: America's number one export is "culture", and we're getting a lot more than sitcoms'n'hip hop from our old Homeland Security Homiez...


Check the flick below to figure it out before you get messed up: it's a hell of a ride into how we're all getting played. I've got a bunch of proof in my links too, and can't think of anything more "gangsta" to do than stop this insanity...


Peace, (NOW!!!)

"I'm stuck in jail, the DA's, tryin' to burn me,
I'd be out on bail, if I had a good attorney,
Wanna label me a criminal, and cuff me up,
Got a pocket full of money, so they rough me up,
I ain't trippin',
In the county, and I'm mad as fuck
Got a record, so they put me with the baddest bunch,
Everybody wanna talk cause I'm rappin',
They askin' me what happened,
Is it true you did a flick with Janet Jackson?
I can't sleep, they takin' Polaroids,
And I'm tryn'a to use the phone, but they makin' noise,
Man, I wish I had my glock, cause its major,
I'm makin' shanks, out the plastic in razors,
These motherfuckers won't leave me alone, thats my word,
Bout to turn a violation, to a motherfuckin' murder,
I'm makin' collect calls, to my old bitches,
Send mo' pictures, and make me some mo' riches,
To all the suckers on the block,
Talkin' shit while I was locked up:
Be prepared to get socked up!
Cause the game is deep, and the fame is brief,
And all you bullshittin' bitches, ain't changin' me,
I came straight up out the gutta, I was saved from hell,
And I'm a thug, I was raised in jail,
Now I'm out on bail..."

CIA Mind Control - MK ULTRA on ABC News: "Back in the Summer of '79... Oh yeah... Me'n'my TV, in '79..."




"We got our first real psyche,
Bought it on TV, all the time,
Got played till our brains near-bled,
See the summer of ’79...

Dude and some guys from school,
Had a doc, and they tried real hard,
ABC quit, and Fox got carried,
We shoulda known, we’d fall this far...

Oh when I look back now,
That summer's gonna last forever,
And if I had the choice,
Yeah - I’d always wanna see it,
Those were the best days of our life...

Ain’t no use in complainin’,
When you got a job to do,
Spent my evenin’s on the internet,
And that’s when I met you, yeah!

Standin’ on your own two feet,
You told me we can't wait forever,
Oh, and when you showed us the plan,
I knew that it was now or never,
Those were the best days of our life...

Back in the summer of ’79...

Man we were killin’ time,
We were young and restless,
We needed to unwind,
I guess nothin’ can last forever - forever, no...

And now the times are changin’
Look at everything that’s come and gone
Sometimes when I play at finding everything,
I think and wonder 'bout what went wrong...

Standin’ on your mama’s porch,
You told me it would last forever,
Oh the way you showed me the plan,
I knew that it was now or never,
Those were the best days of our life...

Back in the summer of ’79..."

MKULTRA: CIA Mind Control

by Jon Elliston
Dossier Editor
pscpdocs@aol.com

For many Americans, the 1950s were a docile decade. In U.S. history books, the period is mostly portrayed as a mellow, orderly one, especially in light of the social upheavals that followed in the 1960s. But for the CIA, the "I Like Ike" years were packed with adventure and action, much of it conducted outside of the public's view. Few programs were sheltered with more secrecy than the Agency's mind control experiments, identified together with the code-name MKULTRA.

Concerned about rumors of communist brainwashing of POWs during the Korean war, in April 1953 CIA Director Allen Dulles authorized the MKULTRA program, which would later become notorious for the unusual and sometimes inhumane tests that the CIA financed. Reviewing the experiments five years later, one secrecy-conscious CIA auditor wrote: "Precautions must be taken not only to protect operations from exposure to enemy forces but also to conceal these activities from the American public in general. The knowledge that the agency is engaging in unethical and illicit activities would have serious repercussions in political and diplomatic circles."

Though many of the documents related to MKULTRA were destroyed by the CIA in 1972, some records relating to the program have made it into the public domain, and the work of historians, investigative reporters, and various congressional committees has resulted in the release of enough information to make MKULTRA one of the most disturbing instances of intelligence community abuse on record. As writer Mark Zepezauer puts it, "the surviving history is nasty enough."

The most notorious MKULTRA experiments were the CIA's pioneering studies of the drug that would years later feed the heads of millions: lysergic acid diethylamide, or LSD. The CIA was intrigued by the drug, and harbored hopes that acid or a similar drug could be used to clandestinely disorient and manipulate target foreign leaders. (The Agency would consider several such schemes in its pursuit of Cuban leader Fidel Castro, who they wanted to send into a drug-induced stupor or tirade during a public or live radio speech.) LSD was also viewed as a way to loosen tongues in CIA interrogations.

On July 19, Denzel Washington appeared on the Late Show with David Letterman to discuss his role in the Manchurian Candidate. Saying that his character and others are carted off to be "manipulated" after being attacked during Desert Storm, Washington addressed the real-life implications behind this fictional drama:

WASHINGTON: (Referring to a film clip which also features fellow cast member Liev Schreiber) I know that they’ve actually put these. . . implants, these chips inside of us, which they actually have nowadays.

LETTERMAN: Is that right?

WASHINGTON: Yes.

LETTERMAN: Behavior modification chips?

WASHINGTON: They say for security and global positioning reasons. . . They can put one in you now and know where you are all the time.

LETTERMAN: It’s creepy isn’t it?

WASHINGTON: It IS creepy.

What Did the C.I.A. Do to Eric Olson's Father?
By MICHAEL IGNATIEFF
New York Times / April 1, 2001


For a quarter of a century, a close friend of mine, a Harvard classmate, has believed that the Central Intelligence Agency murdered his father, a United States government scientist. Believing this means, in my friend's words, "leaving the known universe," the one in which it is innocently accepted that an agency of the American government would never do such a thing. My friend has left this known universe, even raising his father's body from the grave where it had lain for 40 years to test the story the C.I.A. told him about his death. The evidence on the body says that the agency may have lied. But knowing this has not healed my friend. When I ask him what he has learned from his ordeal, he says, "Never dig up your father." Then he laughs, and the look on his face is wild, bitter and full of pain.

Bush: Rebuilding Must Address Inequality

By NEDRA PICKLER, Associated Press Writer 1 hour, 31 minutes ago


WASHINGTON - President Bush said Friday that the Gulf Coast must be rebuilt with an eye toward wiping out the persistent poverty and racial injustice plain to all in the suffering of the black and the poor in Hurricane Katrina's wake.


tell me: what has his administration done about this over the last 5 years?

except be the first President in history to refuse to meet with the NAACP?

well, i guess it's a start...

of what i'm not sure...



"As we clear away the debris of a hurricane, let us also clear away the legacy of inequality," Bush said during a national prayer service with other political leaders and religious figures from the affected region at the National Cathedral."


he is using religion to add ballast to his hot air.


Also Friday, White House officials said that taxpayers will pay the bill for the massive reconstruction program for the hurricane ravaged-Gulf Coast and that the huge expense will worsen the nation's budget deficit.


of course it will.

and then we'll have a massive recession, and then martial law.

duh.



Several dozen evacuees and first responders, all from New Orleans, filled one side wing. The president and his wife, Laura, sat solemnly in a front pew along with Vice President Dick Cheney and his wife, Lynne.


being solemn is cool, it shows they really care.

and really, that'll do.



Before Bush's remarks, Bishop T.D. Jakes, head of 30,000-member Potter's House church in Dallas, delivered a powerful sermon in which he called upon Americans to "dare to discuss the unmentionable issues that confront us" and to not rest until the poor are raised to an acceptable living standard.


jakes be lyin', 'less jakes be tryin'...


"Katrina, perhaps, she has done something to this nation that needed to be done," Jakes said. "We can no longer be a nation that overlooks the poor and the suffering, that continues past the ghetto on our way to the Mardi Gras."


the extree screw-ups needed to be done, extree damage, extree death...

after all, this sets a great example of what we should do to the poor...

err, i mean, do for the poor...



Bush, faced with continuing questions about whether help would have been sent more quickly to the storm zone if most victims had not been poor and black, echoed those themes in his brief remarks.


hmph.

oh well... i'm guessing they apologize?

i mean, white-liberal-guilt is awesome...

unless it's enough...



"Some of the greatest hardships fell upon citizens already facing lives of struggle, the elderly, the vulnerable and the poor," he said. "As we rebuild homes and businesses, we will renew our promise as a land of equality and decency and one day Americans will look back at the response to Hurricane Katrina and say that our country grew not only in prosperity but in character and justice."


or not. whatever.


As on Thursday, when Bush called for "bold action" to overcome poverty and discrimination, he offered no specific actions that should be taken.


that's better...

we all feel much happier they finally mentioned it, right?

i'm sure they're all working very, very, very hard on something...

i'm just afraid of what...

Bush Takes Responsibility for Blunders (Mr. Second-Chance wanna dance now, huh?)



President Bush reacts during a joint press availiblity with Iraqi President Jalal Talabani, Tuesday, Sept. 13, 2005, in the East Room at the White House in Washington.

"Well, Mr. Second-Chance,
Wanna dance now, huh?
Slow-dancin' with the truth,
Want romance now, huh?

No thanks, Mr. President,
Ask, a black resident,
See, if you can represent,
After, you was hell-sent,

After, you was hell-bent,
On doing, jack-smack,
You and Poppy pay blacks,
In Iraq, and crack,

Seen lies from way-back,
When Pressy was a Nazi,
Jacked crews, of jews,
Like a game, of Yahtzee!

It's all, fun and games,
'Til we all, see the shame,
Even Karl Rovebots,
Can now, see the blame,

So, you still play the game,
But, we can see, the disguise,
And, this ain't a surprise,
With 50 years of lies,

With 50 years of Bush,
Always had a little push,
CIAin't lyin',
And we ain't buyin' the mush,

We ain't buyin' the muddle, in the huddle,
Tryin' to make us all struggle-
Tryin' to make us all huddle-
So it's the truth, that we juggle-

See:

You're "George of the Bungle"!

I got that-
From Bill Maher,
Sure, he can be a dick,
But, you Bushed too far,

Now, there's no going back,
To the glory days of Iraq,
We takin' ya cheque-book back,
We takin' the country back,
We takin' the whole world back,
From 50 years of Bush,
And all it took was a hurricane,
To give us a push..."

Bush Takes Responsibility for Blunders

By LARA JAKES JORDAN, Associated Press Writer 14 minutes ago


WASHINGTON - President Bush said Tuesday that "I take responsibility" for failures in dealing with Hurricane Katrina and said the disaster raised broader questions about the government's ability to respond to natural disasters as well as terror attacks.

"Katrina exposed serious problems in our response capability at all levels of government," Bush said at joint White House news conference with the president of
Iraq.

"To the extent the federal government didn't fully do its job right, I take responsibility," Bush said.

The president was asked whether people should be worried about the government's ability to handle another terrorist attack given failures in responding to Katrina.

"Are we capable of dealing with a severe attack? That's a very important question and it's in the national interest that we find out what went on so we can better respond," Bush replied.

He said he wanted to know both what went wrong and what went right.

As for blunders in the federal response, "I'm not going to defend the process going in," Bush said. "I am going to defend the people saving lives."

He praised relief workers at all levels. "I want people in America to understand how hard people worked to save lives down there," he said.

Bush spoke after R. David Paulison, the new acting director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, pledged to intensify efforts to find more permanent housing for the tens of thousands of Hurricane Katrina survivors now in shelters.

It was the closest Bush has come to publicly finding fault with any federal officials involved in the hurricane response, which has been widely criticized as disjointed and slow. Some federal officials have sought to fault state and local officials for being unprepared to cope with the disaster.

Bush planned to address the nation Thursday evening from Louisiana, where he will be monitoring recovery efforts, the White House announced earlier Tuesday.

Paulison, in his first public comments since taking the job on Monday, told reporters: "We're going to get those people out of the shelters, and we're going to move and get them the help they need."

Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff introduced Paulison as the Bush administration tried to deflect criticism for the sluggish initial federal response to the hurricane and its disastrous aftermath.

Chertoff said that while cleanup, relief and reconstruction from Katrina is now the government's top priority, the administration would not let down its guard on other potential dangers.

"The world is not going to stop moving because we are very focused on Katrina," Chertoff said.

Paulison, named to the post on Monday, said he was busy "getting brought up to speed."

He replaced Michael Brown, who resigned on Monday, three days after being removed from being the top onsite federal official in charge of the government's response.

Paulison said Bush called him Monday night and "thanked me for coming on board."

Bush promised that he would have "the full support of the federal government," Paulison said.

Chertoff said the relief operation had entered a new phase.

Initially, he said, the most important priority was evacuating people, getting them to safety, providing food, water and medical care.

" And then ultimately at the end of the day, we have to reconstitute the communities that have been devastated," Chertoff added.

He said the federal government would look increasingly to state and local officials for guidance on rebuilding the devastated communities along the Gulf Coast.

"The federal government can't drive permanent solutions down the throats of state and local officials," Chertoff said. "I don't think anyone should envision a situation in which they're going to take a back seat. They're going to take a front seat," he said.

Chertoff said that teams of federal auditors were being dispatched to the stricken areas to make sure that billions of dollars worth of government contracts were being properly spent. "We want to get aid to people who need it quickly, but we also don't want to lose sight of the importance of preserving the integrity of the process and our responsibility as stewards of the public money," Chertoff said.

"We're going to cut through red tape," he said, "but we're not going to cut through laws and rules that govern ethics."

Meanwhile, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld said that some military aircraft and other equipment may be able to move out of the Gulf Coast soon.

"We've got to the point where most if not all of the search and rescue is completed," said Rumsfeld, who is attending a NATO meeting in Berlin. "Some helicopters can undoubtedly be moved out over the period ahead."

He also said there is a very large surplus of hospital beds in the region, so those could also be decreased. The USS Comfort hospital ship arrived near the Mississippi coast late last week. Rumsfeld added that nothing will be moved out of the area without the authorization of the two states' governors, the military leaders there and the president.

Elsewhere, workers with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention aren't finding many sick people, even though the specter of diseases has alarmed relief and rescue figures. Instead, between 40 and 50 percent of patients seeking emergency care have injuries. The CDC has counted 148 injuries in just the last two days, Carol Rubin, an agency hurricane relief specialist, said by telephone from the government's new public health headquarters in New Orleans' Kindred Hospital.

While she couldn't provide a breakdown, Rubin said chain saw injuries and carbon monoxide exposure from generators are among them. Those are particularly worrisome because they're likely to become more common as additional hurricane survivors re-enter the city in coming days, she said.

The message: Those injuries are preventable, if people take proper precautions, Rubin stressed.

50 Cent - "In My Hood"


[Verse 1]

Niggas screw they face up at me,
On some real shit son, they don't want beef,
I cock that, aim that shit, out the window,
And spray, there ain't a shell left, in my heat,
Y'all niggas better lay down, yeah, I mean stay down,
You get hit with a gay round, yo' ass ain't gon' make it
You niggas'll get layed out, ya blood and ya brains out,
Have you on the concrete, shiverin' and shakin',
I'm from Southside mothafucka, where the gats explode,
If you feel like you on fire, boy, drop and roll,
Niggas'll heat yo' ass up, cause they heart turned cold,
Now you can be a victim, or you can lock and load,
The party jumpin', shorty bouncin' that ass,
I wanna fuck, gimme a second, I'm'a holla, I'ma see what's up,
I got my razor in my hand, got my pistol in my trunk,
Carve ya ass up nice, you play me like a punk,

[Chorus]

In my hood...
Niggas got love for me, but I don't go nowhere without my strap,

In my hood...
A lil' dro', a lil' Hennessy, and niggas just don't know how to act,

In my hood...
Niggas is grimey, I stay on point, I roll with my gat,

In my hood...
Niggas might buck at me, so I keep somethin' around to buck back,

In my hood...


[Verse 2]

I don't trust a mothafuckin' soul, when the D's come, they fold,
On my first case, they told, where I'm from it ain't safe,
To have more than a 8th, niggas'll come to your place,
Put a gun in your face, tell ya open the safe,
As your heart starts to race,
'Cause a robbery could turn into a homo-case,
Cooperate, or Doc'll have to operate, niggas'll pop you,
Runnin', like they pop at Jake,
Trust me son, niggas'll go hard for that cake,
These thirsty niggas are lurkin',
You'll have to catch 'em, and murk 'em,
I'm observant in my hood, these niggas be dumbin',
Shots go off at the dice game, all you see is 'em runnin',
It make me harder and harder, to pump on the block,
I'm a hustler, how the fuck I'm supposed to eat when its hot?

[Chorus]

In my hood...
Niggas got love for me, but I don't go nowhere without my strap,

In my hood...
A lil' dro', a lil' Hennessy, and niggas just don't know how to act,

In my hood...
Niggas is grimey, I stay on point, I roll with my gat,

In my hood...
Niggas might buck at me, so I keep somethin' around to buck back,

[Verse 3]

The house party off the hook, until them shots go off,
Well thats what you get for stuntin' on my block, show off,
Uh, you shit out of luck, if niggas catch you slippin',
Crack money slow, so you know, niggas is trippin',
Shorty down there, on the Queens track, takin' a whippin',
Shit, bitch get out of pocket, she needs some discipline,
Peep the fiends, shootin' diesel, in his arm in the alley,
Look at the chrome spinners spinnin', on that black Denali,
The grimey niggas where I'm from, don't wanna see you chipped up,
You shine, they gon' jux you, and plot to shoot your whip up,
It ain't good, to do good, in my hood,
(click-click)
Blow!
Now you know not to do good...

[Chorus]

In my hood...
Niggas got love for me, but I don't go nowhere without my strap,

In my hood...
A lil' dro', a lil' Hennessy, and niggas just don't know how to act,

'Make Poverty History' message banned in Britain

Mon Sep 12, 2:53 PM ET


LONDON (AFP) - The coalition at the forefront of a British campaign to fight poverty in Africa has been banned from advertising on radio and television after the nation's media watchdog decided it was a "political" organisation.

Make Poverty History, a coalition of more than 500 charities and social groups, said Monday it was "disappointed" by the decision from OFCOM, just days before world leaders gather in New York where the plight of the world's poor is on the agenda of the World Summit at UN headquarters.

Its advertisement -- in which the likes of rock star Bono and model Claudia Schiffer snap their fingers every three seconds, symbolising how often a child dies as a result of poverty somewhere in the world -- has been on the air for several months.

Despite the fact that no one lodged a complaint, OFCOM said Make Poverty History was "wholly or mainly political" in that it sought to "achieve important changes" to British and Western government policy.

For that reason, it said, the advertisement can no longer be aired.

Adrian Lovett of the development charity Oxfam, a member of the Make Poverty History coordination team, said the global poverty issue was not "party political", but seen by millions as "the great moral issue of our time".

"We're disappointed with this decision," he said. "This advertisement simply highlights the fact that a child dies every three seconds because of preventable poverty."

Make Poverty History was behind a large peaceful march in Edinburgh in July that called for robust action on aid, trade and debt from the Group of Eight leading industrialised nations to combat endemic poverty in Africa.

Embattled FEMA Director Mike Brown Resigns

By RON FOURNIER, AP Political Writer 51 minutes ago


WASHINGTON - Federal Emergency Management Agency director Mike Brown said Monday he has resigned "in the best interest of the agency and best interest of the president," three days after losing his onsite command of the Hurricane Katrina relief effort.

"The focus has got to be on FEMA, what the people are trying to do down there," Brown told The Associated Press.

His decision was not a surprise. Brown was abruptly recalled to Washington on Friday, a clear vote of no confidence from his superiors at the White House and the Department of Homeland Security. Brown had been roundly criticized for FEMA's bearish response to the hurricane, which has caused political problem for Bush and fellow Republicans.

"I'm turning in my resignation today," Brown said. "I think it's in the best interest of the agency and the best interest of the president to do that and get the media focused on the good things that are going on, instead of me."

Brown, who said he last talked to Bush five or six days ago, said the resignation was his idea. He spoke on Saturday to White House chief of staff Andy Card, who did not request his departure, according to Brown.

He said he feared he was becoming a distraction to FEMA's relief effort.

"I came to the conclusion that this was in the best interest of not just the administration and not just me, but FEMA," he said. "They need to be focused on the continuing efforts in the Gulf."

Shortly after Brown was recalled to Washington last week, officials close to the FEMA director said he would likely resign. They said that even before Katrina, Brown had been planning on leaving the administration late this fall to go into the private sector.

Roberts Says Judges Play a Limited Role

By JESSE J. HOLLAND, Associated Press Writer 19 minutes ago


WASHINGTON - Supreme Court nominee John Roberts said Monday that justices are servants of the law, playing a limited government role, as the Senate opened confirmation hearings on President Bush's choice to be the nation's 17th chief justice.

"A certain humility should characterize the judicial role," the 50-year-old Roberts told the Judiciary Committee in a brief statement. "Judges and justices are servants of the law, not the other way around."

The appellate judge likened judges to baseball umpires, saying that "they make sure everybody plays by the rules, but it is a limited role. Nobody ever went to a ballgame to see the umpire."

The drama of Roberts' swearing-in and his short statement capped a half day in which Democrats and Republicans sparred over the legitimacy of questioning him about divisive issues. Arguments about ideology and judicial activism also marked the hours devoted to opening statements from the 18-member panel.

Speaking without notes, Roberts addressed the committee for about five minutes — half the time each of 18 senators had been allotted for opening statements before he took the oath and made his remarks. He will answer questions from senators at much greater length on Tuesday.

"I come before the committee with no agenda. I have no platform," Roberts told the panel.

"It means we're prepared," Johannessen said.

45 Bodies Found at New Orleans Hospital

22 minutes ago


NEW ORLEANS - Forty-five bodies have been found at a hospital that was abandoned more than a week ago after it was surrounded by floodwaters unleashed by Hurricane Katrina, a state health official said Monday.

The bodies were located Sunday at Memorial Medical Center, said Bob Johannesen, a spokesman for the Department of Health and Hospitals. Johannesen said the bodies were those of patients, but he had no other information.

The Louisiana death toll rose to 279 on Monday, up from 197 on Sunday, Johannesen said.

On Sunday, reporters were kept at a distance from Memorial Medical by law enforcement officers as workers removed bodies from the hospital, situated in the city's Uptown section.

The 317-bed hospital, owned by TenetHealthcare Corp., remained closed Monday and was still partially surrounded by floodwaters.

FLASHBACK: New Orleans Court Opens Door To Searches Without Warrants

WDSU | March 29, 2004


NEW ORLEANS -- It's a groundbreaking court decision that legal experts say will affect everyone: Police officers in Louisiana no longer need a search or arrest warrant to conduct a brief search of your home or business.

Leaders in law enforcement say it will keep officers safe, but others argue it's a privilege that could be abused.

The decision in United States v. Kelly Gould, No. 0230629cr0, was made March 24 by the New Orleans-based 5th Circuit Court of Appeals.

Blackwater Mercenaries: Coming Soon to Your Town

Kurt Nimmo | September 12 2005


It is now obvious how martial law (not officially declared as such) will work in America in the wake of the devastation of New Orleans. Instead of federal troops or an influx of National Guard troops sent to “restore order” (the latter mandated in our now anachronistic Constitution; see Article 1, Section 8) and empowered to “suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions,” in Louisiana the state and federal governments have brazenly violated the Constitution by sending in Blackwater Security and other private goon squads. “Heavily armed paramilitary mercenaries from the Blackwater private security firm, infamous for their work in Iraq, are openly patrolling the streets of New Orleans,” write Jeremy Scahill and Daniela Crespo. “Some of the mercenaries say they have been ‘deputized’ by the Louisiana governor; indeed some are wearing gold Louisiana state law enforcement badges on their chests and Blackwater photo identification cards on their arms. They say they are on contract with the Department of Homeland Security and have been given the authority to use lethal force.”

Doctors Euthanized Katrina Victims

Australian Daily Telegraph | September 12 2005


DOCTORS working in hurricane-ravaged New Orleans killed critically ill patients rather than leave them to die in agony as they evacuated.

With gangs of rapists and looters rampaging through wards in the flooded city, senior doctors took the harrowing decision to give massive overdoses of morphine to those they believed could not make it out alive.

One New Orleans doctor told how she "prayed for God to have mercy on her soul" after she ignored every tenet of medical ethics and ended the lives of patients she had earlier fought to save.

Her heart-rending account has been corroborated by a hospital orderly and by local government officials.

One emergency official, William Forest McQueen, said: "Those who had no chance of making it were given a lot of morphine and lain down in a dark place to die."

Euthanasia is illegal in Louisiana and the doctors spoke only on condition on anonymity.

Mexico, Holland send troops to Biloxi

Sun Herald | September 9, 2005
BY GEORGE PAWLACZYK


COMMENT:

A very trusted friend who works at a shooting range here in Austin reported to me that on Friday of last week, Dutch troops were at the range target shooting. Furthermore, additional regular US Army troops were present sighting their rifles! We have ARMED Mexican and Dutch troops in the United States under the pretense of helping with the Katrina recovery effort.


The Marines have landed in Biloxi -- the Mexican Marines.

And Dutch Marines as well.

Armed Mexican Troops Invade US

For the first time since the 19th Century, Mexican troops landed Friday on U.S. soil, sent from the Mexican Navy ship ARM Papaloapan anchored near the USS Bataan. The Mexican ship's name means, "River of Butterflies."

Marines from Mexico, Holland and the U.S. are part of an international Hurricane Katrina cleanup effort building up on ships about 20 miles offshore in the Gulf of Mexico. Four Canadian ships are on the way.

"Our President called George Bush and three days later we came here," said Oscar Martinez Pretelin, a fleet or admiral rank officer aboard the Papaloapan, a 440-foot-long U.S.-built troop landing ship. Vincente Fox is the president of Mexico.

"We are honored to help the United States," Pretelin told press and television reporters Thursday aboard the Mexican ship.
