The NuremBUSH Tribunals: "Bush and Saddam Should Both Stand Trial, Says Nuremberg Prosecutor" (And now we need some "Concentrate" Camps, dammit...)

The Memory Hole.org

Leaked Photos of "Detainees" Being Transported to Guantanamo Bay

>>> These photos were anoymously sent to several mainstream and alternative news organizations, according to CNN. It was radio host Art Bell who first published them on his Website, in the early morning hours of 8 November 2002.

The photos have been confirmed as genuine.

CNN: "A Pentagon spokesman says the photographs appear to be genuine. It is not known who took or e-mailed the pictures."

Associated Press: "Officials believe the photos were not authorized and know their release was unauthorized, he [a Pentagon spokesman] said."

According to these new reports, it's likely that the photos were taken as the prisoners were being transported from Aghanistan to Turkey, on their way to Guantanamo Bay.

Bush and Saddam Should Both Stand Trial, Says Nuremberg Prosecutor

Aaron Glantz, OneWorld US Fri Aug 25, 8:57 AM ET

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug 25 (OneWorld) - A chief prosecutor of Nazi war crimes at Nuremberg has said George W. Bush should be tried for war crimes along with Saddam Hussein. Benjamin Ferenccz, who secured convictions for 22 Nazi officers for their work in orchestrating the death squads that killed more than 1 million people, told OneWorld both Bush and Saddam should be tried for starting "aggressive" wars--Saddam for his 1990 attack on Kuwait and Bush for his 2003 invasion of Iraq.

"Nuremberg declared that aggressive war is the supreme international crime," the 87-year-old Ferenccz told OneWorld from his home in New York. He said the United Nations charter, which was written after the carnage of World War II, contains a provision that no nation can use armed force without the permission of the UN Security Council.

Ferenccz said that after Nuremberg the international community realized that every war results in violations by both sides, meaning the primary objective should be preventing any war from occurring in the first place.

He said the atrocities of the Iraq war--from the Abu Ghraib prison scandal and the massacre of dozens of civilians by U.S. forces in Haditha to the high number of civilian casualties caused by insurgent car bombs--were highly predictable at the start of the war.

Which wars should be prosecuted?

"Every war will lead to attacks on civilians," he said. "Crimes against humanity, destruction beyond the needs of military necessity, rape of civilians, plunder--that always happens in wartime. So my answer personally, after working for 60 years on this problem and [as someone] who hates to see all these young people get killed no matter what their nationality, is that you've got to stop using warfare as a means of settling your disputes."

Ferenccz believes the most important development toward that end would be the effective implementation of the International Criminal Court (ICC), which is located in the Hague, Netherlands.

The court was established in 2002 and has been ratified by more than 100 countries. It is currently being used to adjudicate cases stemming from conflict in Darfur, Sudan and civil wars in Uganda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

But on May 6, 2002--less than a year before the invasion of Iraq--the Bush administration withdrew the United States' signature on the treaty and began pressuring other countries to approve bilateral agreements requiring them not to surrender U.S. nationals to the ICC.

Three months later, George W. Bush signed a new law prohibiting any U.S. cooperation with the International Criminal Court. The law went so far as to include a provision authorizing the president to "use all means necessary and appropriate," including a military invasion of the Netherlands, to free U.S. personnel detained or imprisoned by the ICC.

That's too bad, according to Ferenccz. If the United States showed more of an interest in building an international justice system, they could have put Saddam Hussein on trial for his 1990 invasion of Kuwait.

"The United Nations authorized the first Gulf War and authorized all nations to take whatever steps necessary to keep peace in the area," he said. "They could have stretched that a bit by seizing the person for causing the harm. Of course, they didn't do that and ever since then I've been bemoaning the fact that we didn't have an International Criminal Court at that time."

Ferenccz is glad that Saddam Hussein is now on trial.

This week, the Iraqi government began to try the former dictator for crimes connected to his ethnic cleansing campaign against the Kurds. According to Human Rights Watch, which has done extensive on-the-ground documentation, Saddam's Ba'athist regime deliberately and systematically killed at least 50,000 and possibly as many as 100,000 Kurds over a six-month period in 1988.

Kurdish authorities put the number even higher, saying 182,000 Kurdish civilians were killed in a matter of months.

Everyone agrees innumerable villages were bombed and some were gassed. The surviving residents were rounded up, taken to detention centers, and eventually executed at remote sites, sometimes by being stripped and shot in the back so they would fall naked into trenches.

In his defense, Saddam Hussein has disputed the extent of the killings and maintained they were justified because he was fighting a counter-insurgency operation against Kurdish separatists allied with Iran. When asked to enter a plea, the former president said "that would require volumes of books."

Ferenccz said whatever Saddam's reasons, nothing can justify the mass killing of innocents.

"The offenses attributable to ex-President Hussein since he came to power range from the supreme international crime of aggression to a wide variety of crimes against humanity," he wrote after Saddam was ousted in 2003. "A fair trial will achieve many goals. The victims would find some satisfaction in knowing that their victimizer was called to account and could no longer be immune from punishment for his evil deeds. Wounds can begin to heal. The historical facts can be confirmed beyond doubt. Similar crimes by other dictators might be discouraged or deterred in future. The process of justice through law, on which the safety of humankind depends, would be reinforced."

AIRPORT SECURITY EVERYWHERE? "Airline Insanity Merely A Beta Test For Police State Caste System"

Subject: FW: THE FUTURE OF AIRLINES


The beauty of BUDGET AIRLINES

Attendant: Welcome aboard Ala Carte Air,


Sir: May I see your ticket ?


Passenger: Sure.


Attendant: You're in seat 12B. That will be $5, please!


Passenger: What for ?


Attendant: For telling you where to sit.


Passenger: But I already knew where to sit.



Attendant: Nevertheless, we are now charging a seat-locator fee of $5.

It's the airline's new policy.


Passenger: That's the craziest thing I ever heard. I won't pay it.


Attendant: Sir, do you want a seat on this flight, or not?


Passenger: Yes, yes. All right, I'll pay. But the airline is going to hear about this.


Attendant: Thank you. My goodness, your carry-on bag looks heavy.

Would you like me to stow it in the overhead compartment for you ?


Passenger: That would be swell, thanks.



Attendant: No problem (grunts). Up we go, and done! that will be $10, please.


Passenger: What?


Attendant: The airline now charges a $10 carry-on assistance fee.


Passenger: This is extortion. I won't stand for it.


Attendant: Actually, you're right - you can't stand. You need to sit,

and fasten your seat belt.

We're about to push back from the gate. But first I need that $10.


Passenger: No way.


Attendant: Sir, if! you don 't comply, I will be forced to call the air marshal.

And you really don't want me to do that.


Passenger: Why not ? Is he going to shoot me?


Attendant: No, but there's a $50 air-marshal hailing fee.


Passenger: Oh, all right, here - take the $10. I can't believe this.


Attendant: Thank you for your cooperation, sir.

Is there anything else I can do for you?


Passenger: Yes. It's stuffy in here, and my overhead fan doesn't seem to work.

Can you fix it?


Attendant: Your overhead fan is not broken, sir. Just insert two quarters into the

overhead coin slot for the first five minutes.


Passenger: The airline is charging me for cabin air?


Attendant: Of course not, sir. Stagnant cabin air is provided free of charge.

It's the circulating air that costs 50 cents.


Passenger: I don't have any quarters. Can you make change for a dollar?


Attendant: Certainly, sir! Here you go!


Passenger: But you've given me only three quarters for my dollar!


Attendant: Yes, there's a change-making fee of 25 cents.


Passenger: For cryin' out loud. All I have left is a lousy quarter?

Whatever will I do with it?


Attendant: Hang on to it. You'll need it later for the lavatory.

Airline Insanity Merely A Beta Test For Police State Caste System

Draconian surveillance, identification, behavior modification measures being implemented right outside your door

Paul Joseph Watson/Prison Planet.com | August 25 2006

Escalating security measures, body scans, lie detector tests and behavior analysis now being forced upon unwitting human livestock passing through airports are the first stage of an agenda to create a two tier caste system whereby only government authorized citizens will be able to travel and everyone will be subject to intense airport style harassment on city streets.

Recent incidents that caused delays and diversions on airliners - including the latest example where a flight was turned back due to a group of men using mobile phones - underscore the unmitigated hysteria created by the politically timed release of the alleged foiled plot announcement two weeks ago.

On August 14th a British Airways flight bound for New York was diverted back to Heathrow Airport because a mobile phone rang at the rear of the plane and its owner was not to be found.

Days later, United Airlines 923, bound for Washington from London had to be escorted to Boston by two F-15 fighter jets after a patently mentally ill woman began urinating on the floor and manically talking about having visited Pakistan and making vague references to bombs. Original reports that she had possessed a handwritten note alluding to Al-Qaeda were later dismissed.

Today all 12 suspects who were detained after Northwest Airlines flight 42, bound for Mumbai, had to be diverted, were freed. Passengers grew suspicious when the men began using mobile phones and cheering. On the face of it this is absurd - why would potential hijackers who would in the normal course of events be prepared to face fierce resistance from passengers want to make themselves conspicuous before any hijack attempt was made?

Perhaps the most ridiculous example of fear run amok occurred when passengers on a flight returning from Malaga Spain complained about two Asian men who they thought were potential suicide hijackers. The evidence? They were Asian! To the astonishment of the students they were marched off the plane at gun point before it took off.

Just when we thought airline security was starting to become rational again five years after September 11, one carefully timed PR scam has reversed all that and travelers are again treated worse than cattle as they are shoved around airports, treated as criminals and barked at by poorly trained screeners on little Hitler power trips.

The agenda is clearly to maintain a state of alert and panic until such a time that reverting back to 'normal' and 'reasoned' security measures is forgotten - the new normal becomes the insane and displaying any traits of disobedience to authority figures is taken as a sign of terrorism. Lie detector tests, voice stress analysis technology, advanced screening which produces naked images of passengers along with brain scanner and perspiration tension analysis systems are all being implemented as the notion of innocent until proven guilty is jettisoned without recourse.

The airports are merely a beta test for the exact same measures to be rolled out in major cities, where regular checkpoint officials inspect internal passports and consumers are body scanned to enter a supermarket or any kind of public event as spy drones swoop overhead to catalogue movement and alert authorities to any suspicious body language (remember Poindexter's gait analysis?).

The key to achieving all this on the part of the Neo-Fascists is to carry out more staged terror attacks on soft targets like sports stadiums, schools and large shopping malls. In terms of police state propaganda, these attacks would be more effective than a 9/11 style event because the implications would reach down into the roots of everyday life.

After more soft target terror attacks on buses and trains, citizens will be forced to biometric scan and show ID just to enter the transport station. Resistors who refuse to take a national ID card and eventually an implanted ID chip will be punished by their exclusion from a trusted travelers program that denotes how well a citizen has behaved and compares that score to the criteria of how and when they can travel. Nationwide toll roads snaking across the US and Britain that use RFID signals at toll booths and instant kill switches in private vehicles will see this nightmare extend its tentacles into the personal vehicle of every citizen.

The majority of what I outlined is already being implemented at major transport and police hubs in the US and Britain. When the technology to automate these measures is more widely used, its cost will drop and in turn spread like wildfire outside of the major cities and into local communities - unless we scream bloody murder and stop it before it makes it out of the airport terminal and onto our street corners.

U.S. military plays up role of Zarqawi

Jordanian painted as foreign threat to Iraq’s stability

By Thomas E. Ricks
The Washington Post
Updated: 6:39 a.m. ET April 10, 2006

The U.S. military is conducting a propaganda campaign to magnify the role of the leader of al-Qaeda in Iraq, according to internal military documents and officers familiar with the program. The effort has raised his profile in a way that some military intelligence officials believe may have overstated his importance and helped the Bush administration tie the war to the organization responsible for the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks....

The Zarqawi campaign is discussed in several of the internal military documents. "Villainize Zarqawi/leverage xenophobia response," one U.S. military briefing from 2004 stated. It listed three methods: "Media operations," "Special Ops (626)" (a reference to Task Force 626, an elite U.S. military unit assigned primarily to hunt in Iraq for senior officials in Hussein's government) and "PSYOP," the U.S. military term for propaganda work...

The military's propaganda program largely has been aimed at Iraqis, but seems to have spilled over into the U.S. media. One briefing slide about U.S. "strategic communications" in Iraq, prepared for Army Gen. George W. Casey Jr., the top U.S. commander in Iraq, describes the "home audience" as one of six major targets of the American side of the war.

One internal briefing, produced by the U.S. military headquarters in Iraq, said that Kimmitt had concluded that, "The Zarqawi PSYOP program is the most successful information campaign to date...

BONUS: "You know, it's funny... sort of..."


You know it's funny, I was wearing my Dope Poets Society "George Bush Is The Real Terrorist!" t-shirt a fair bit last summer - they're awesome, and about 90% of people I ran into gave me a positive response - many even wanted to shake my hand.

A few however gave me a few strange looks, and I wrote these lyrics:

"Sometimes I scare people,
Without being scary,
I feel like a black guy,
I'm a brown canary..."

Which most people really liked, as they clearly saw the poetry and pathos.

However, I also wrote a second stanza as well, let me know what you think:

"I'm in a mine shaft,
And we're all getting shafted,
The military's coming,
And we're all getting drafted..."

Now, I've got to be honest: no one likes that last part.

However, as you can see from "FOX News", they're certainly pusing for it.

Now, don't say "Oh that's just "Fox", they lie all the time!"

Sure, the problem is they work for the guys who want to do this, and inevitably their lies become reality.

SEE: The World War Being Started.

We can look at other sources, but if you see what the criminal elements behind the government and corporations who are launching a fascist takeover of the World want to do, look no further than their chief propaganda arm - one which makes other news organizations that lie "less" seem "reasonable" - which then fools the hell out of us into supporting fascism anyway - FOX News...

Republican Guest Suggests Implementing "Universal Service" to "Put Us On a War Footing"

News Hounds | August 25 2006

William Cohen, a Republican and former Secretary of Defense under Clinton, appeared on this morning's FOX & Friends First. They gave him two segments ostensibly to speak about the Middle East and to plug his new novel. However, at the end of the second segment, host Brian Kilmeade asked a question and got an answer that made me wonder about the Bush administration's next steps in its ongoing fear mongering campaign.

WILLIAM COHEN: "... What we need in this war against terror - which I would prefer to call it (sic) 'a long twilight struggle' to use John Kennedy's phrase - a long twilight struggle against terrorism - you need better intelligence, better police work, covert activity, special forces, if necessary, ultimately military. But it's going to be through police work and the sharing of intelligence, that we'll be able to help defend us against attacks which are inevitably going to come."

BRIAN KILMEADE: "Hey, Mr. Secretary, finally, do you think in the next ten years we're going to be looking at some type of draft because we seem to need - have so many conflicts to cover?"

WILLIAM COHEN: "I'm not sure there'll be a draft. I think there should be a commitment to universal service. I think that only a few people are really committed to this war against terrorism and called. I think the American people have to be - understand - that we're all in this together. We ought to have a real call to national service to commit ourselves to some form of public service ...."

STEVE DOOCY (off screen): "Got ya'."

COHEN: "... helping out at homes, health care, nurses, etc. But something has to be done ..."

KILMEADE: "Something's got to be done."

COHEN: "... to put us on a war footing mentality. We're not there."

DOOCY: "Alright."

COMMENT

Was FOX News acting as a White House surrogate, floating a trial balloon in an attempt to get feedback from FOX viewers on how the Republican base would react to the idea of a draft?

Or were the F&F co-hosts expecting a different response from Cohen and caught off guard by his answer?

Whatever the correct interpretation, the draft - oops! - "universal service" - has certainly been moved to the foreground by this exchange.

Republican Guest Suggests Implementing "Universal Service" to "Put Us On a War Footing"

News Hounds | August 25 2006

William Cohen, a Republican and former Secretary of Defense under Clinton, appeared on this morning's FOX & Friends First. They gave him two segments ostensibly to speak about the Middle East and to plug his new novel. However, at the end of the second segment, host Brian Kilmeade asked a question and got an answer that made me wonder about the Bush administration's next steps in its ongoing fear mongering campaign.

WILLIAM COHEN: "... What we need in this war against terror - which I would prefer to call it (sic) 'a long twilight struggle' to use John Kennedy's phrase - a long twilight struggle against terrorism - you need better intelligence, better police work, covert activity, special forces, if necessary, ultimately military. But it's going to be through police work and the sharing of intelligence, that we'll be able to help defend us against attacks which are inevitably going to come."

BRIAN KILMEADE: "Hey, Mr. Secretary, finally, do you think in the next ten years we're going to be looking at some type of draft because we seem to need - have so many conflicts to cover?"

WILLIAM COHEN: "I'm not sure there'll be a draft. I think there should be a commitment to universal service. I think that only a few people are really committed to this war against terrorism and called. I think the American people have to be - understand - that we're all in this together. We ought to have a real call to national service to commit ourselves to some form of public service ...."

STEVE DOOCY (off screen): "Got ya'."

COHEN: "... helping out at homes, health care, nurses, etc. But something has to be done ..."

KILMEADE: "Something's got to be done."

COHEN: "... to put us on a war footing mentality. We're not there."

DOOCY: "Alright."

COMMENT

Was FOX News acting as a White House surrogate, floating a trial balloon in an attempt to get feedback from FOX viewers on how the Republican base would react to the idea of a draft?

Or were the F&F co-hosts expecting a different response from Cohen and caught off guard by his answer?

Whatever the correct interpretation, the draft - oops! - "universal service" - has certainly been moved to the foreground by this exchange.

JAY-Z: "I was meeting with Bill Gates last week...He told me about what the world's going to look like in five years, and I got scared."

You know, it's amazing what geniuses have given the world.

No, seriously.

I'm talking about the people that MOVE people, that inspire and entertain them, that enlighten them in an enjoyable way.

We've had a bunch.

As for Jay-Z being a "genius", all I can say is you go from being a broke kid from a broken home in the hopeless and dangerous Marcy Projects of Brooklyn, New York to being worth $300 million, and I dare you not to demand to be called a "genius".

I'm sold.

Besides, as he says:

"I'm like Che Guevara with bling on, I'm complex,
I never meant to have wings on..."

- Jay-Z, "Public Service Announcement/Interlude"

I like it so much I stole the damn thing.

(Paraphrased it.)

Anyway, where's the evidence of this?

Well... while it's tough to resist waxing poetic about the God-MC, and don't worry - just 'cause I'm holdin' his jock don't mean I can't find my own - I think I'll let him spit his own "Moment of Clarity":

"The music business hate me,
Cause the industry ain't make me,
Hustlers and boosters embrace me,
And the music I be makin',
I dumb down for my audience,
And double my dollars,
They criticize me for it,
Yet they all yell "Holla!"

If skills sold,
Truth be told,
I'd probably be,
Lyrically,
Talib Kweli,
Truthfully,
I wanna rhyme like Common Sense,
(But I did five mill')
I ain't been rhymin like Common since,

When your sense got that much in common,
And you been hustlin' since,
Your inception,
F-ck perception:
Go with what makes sense,
Since,
I know, what I'm up against,
We as rappers, must decide,
What's most im-por-tant,

And I can't help the poor,
If I'm one of them,
So I got rich, and gave back,
Now that's the win-win,
So the next time you see the homie,
And his rims that spin,
Just know my mind is workin just like them,
(The rims that is...)"

- Jay-Z, "Moment of Clarity"

Whoa.

Okay, I guess I get it.







Besides he's been shouting out "Moments of Clarity" overshadowed by the "bling" for years. Frankly with one life to live after society had originally given him nothing to live for, and since many of us have a lot to live for and a lot of opportunities and do nothing about it, his approach to getting as much as he can legally and morally was reasonable.

I mean, do you really think the controlled mass media is going to let a politically scarring group like "Public Enemy" blow up again?

While his success speaks for itself, I think Jay-Z also understood way back in the day that we all have business to attend to in our own unique ways as well.

No, not just "gettin' money", serious business.

Change.

Take a look at his first and most thoughtful album - most say his best - "Reasonable Doubt". It was 1996, or ten years ago in the height of the "East/West" feud that the media was so in love with, and besides dropping Marley-esque "be good to your friends" reminders like:

"If every n-gga in your clique is rich, your clique is rugged,
No one will fall, cause everyone will be each other's crutches,
I hope you fools choose to listen, I drop jewels, bust it,
These are the rules I follow in my life, you gotta love it..."

- Jay-Z, "Feelin' It"

He even went further towards squashing the "East/West" beef with a kindred soul - one who's violent and unresolved passing like numerous other "black leaders" probably helped keep Jay-Z from being as overtly "political" as he would've liked:

"I get my fly on, and my drop on, due to write on,
Don't even hate on those who hate me, I got 'Pac on,
Feelin' it, feelin' it, chicken's are ice-grillin' it,
Cops pullin' him over, Jigga react militant..."

- Jay-Z, "Can I Live?"

So even though West Coast rapper Tupac Shakur ("I got 'Pac on" above) was raking East Coast rappers over the coals with vicious diss-cuts like "Hit 'Em Up", like many others Jay-Z backed away and even said he was playing Tupac's music anyway. And, as you can see in the freestyle lyrics (he doesn't "write") he chose to directly follow it, he tried to focus us on other more pressing issues.

He even went further in attacking power and authority on his song "D'Evils", and it's funny, as I scan the various lyrics sites on the internet I'm noticing the chorus is missing from most of the listings, including: sing365.com, lyricsondemand.com, seeklyrics.com, azlyrics.com, and others.

Now, since I haven't asked them I can't begin to figure out what that means, but I'll type them up and let you see for yourself. In fairness, the lyrics are back and forth samples of Snoop Dogg (the "Dear God" part) and another voice saying:

"Dear, God, I wonder can you save me?
Illuminati want my mind, soul, and my body,
Dear, God, I wonder can you save me?
Secret Society, tryin'a keep they' eye on me,

"Dear, God, I wonder can you save me?
Illuminati want my mind, soul, and my body,
Dear, God, I wonder can you save me?
I can't die, I can't die, I can't die... (fade)"

- Jay-Z, chorus from "D'Evils"

Much like Tupac - who even went so far as to call himself "Makaveli: The Don Killuminati", it seems Jay-Z in using this chorus for a song about how society has been infected with evil thoughts and who might be responsible, was trying to say: "Look, I read a book or something, either way, don't worry about it - I said it and I meant it - so just check this stuff out!"

Now flash-forward to 2006, and I'm buying a copy of The New Yorker Magazine for an article called "The war over Iran" by Seymour Hersh - I love that guy - about how the Pentagon brass were fighting the crazy civilian leadership who want to use nuclear weapons on Iran for no good reason - namely Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld. They even had an internal "April Revolution" where the brass stood firm, and many are worried about being "on the wrong side of history" for blowing up the world. So, we have hope, but we still have work to do as long as those crazy neo-cons keep trying, and without public awareness the corporate media will likely "sell" us another war.

But right after that was an article called "Where Hip Hop Lives" about the Hot 97 Radio Station in New York, and in it was a small quote that author Ben McGrath chose to use about Jay-Z dropping by for a live on-air interview with Angie Martinez:

"I was meeting with Bill Gates, telling him about Hot 97 last week," Jay-Z said. "He told me what the world's going to look like in five years and I got scared. He's just extra smart. I don't even want to get into it."

- rapper "Jay-Z", The New Yorker Magazine, July 10 & 17, 2006, page 57

WEBSITE LINK - http://www.newyorker.com/fact/content/articles/060710fa_fact1

So, there he goes again trying to tell us to wake up, and even slightly whistleblowing on his rich friends - as hundreds of concerned people do every day - including Hollywood producer Aaron Russo with his new documentary "America: From Freedom to Fascism". The ones who do so in detail are relegated to the alternative media, while others who try have to slip comments into the mainstream press or make allegorical movies like "The Matrix" and "V for Vendetta" (The Wachowski Brothers).

Besides, it's not like the "elite" are all equally "evil", some just want to be rich and happy, though perhaps richer and happier than most.

But, some also want to kill and enslave us.

And now, in these days of Billionaire Benefactors getting celebrated in the press - this despite the fact that only the richest two (Gates and Buffett) are the only ones really stepping up out of the record 793 billionaires in the world (Forbes Magazine) - and we don't really see a "plan" for the use of their money, it's good that one of hip hop's finest can sneak in and out of their meetings and parties and tell us non-millionaires what's happening.

After all, when Bill Gates talks about the future to the rest of us, he doesn't sound particularily scary. In fact, he seems to be fairly optimistic.

So: what's he telling Jay-Z that he's not telling us?

And: what's Jay-Z trying to tell us about him?

Whatever it is, I'd like to applaud Jay-Z for his efforts, and encourage him and all of his peers to do for themselves and us by making it big by breaking societies rules without harming anyone - and showing us we can do the same. Hip hop is always the first institution attacked for society's ills, and the last one praised for it's ever-evolving sense of style and freedom - and with that helping us to evolve our own.

I mean, we're all vibing on hip hop.

Even Bill Gates.

And who knows?

If we pay attention, hip hop might just save us all...







Peace by paying attention to the prophets...

Recession will be nasty and deep, economist says

Rex Nutting, MarketWatch | August 24 2006

The United States is headed for a recession that will be "much nastier, deeper and more protracted" than the 2001 recession, says Nouriel Roubini, president of Roubini Global Economics.

Writing on his blog on Wednesday, Roubini repeated his call that the U.S. would be in a recession in 2007, arguing that the collapse of housing will bring down the rest of the economy. Read more.

Roubini wrote after the National Association of Realtors reported Wednesday that sales of existing homes fell 4.1% in July, while inventories soared to a 13-year high and prices flattened out year-over-year.

"This is the biggest housing slump in the last four or five decades: every housing indictor is in free fall, including now housing prices," Roubini said. The decline in investment in the housing sector will exceed the drop in investment when the Nasdaq collapsed in 2000 and 2001, he said.

And the impact of the bursting of the bubble will affect every household in America, not just the few people who owned significant shares in technology companies during the dot-com boom, he said. Prices are falling even in the Midwest, which never experienced a bubble, "a scary signal" of how much pain the drop in household wealth could cause.

Roubini is a professor of economics at New York University and was a senior economist in the White House and the Treasury Department in the late 1990s.

His firm focuses largely on global macroeconomics.

Pentagon PSYOP Zarqawi Program

In an unusual twist, the Washington Post in a recent article, has acknowledged that the role of Zarqawi had been deliberately "magnified" by the Pentagon with a view to galvanizing public support for the US-UK led "war on terrorism":

"The Zarqawi campaign is discussed in several of the internal military documents. "Villainize Zarqawi/leverage xenophobia response," one U.S. military briefing from 2004 stated. It listed three methods: "Media operations," "Special Ops (626)" (a reference to Task Force 626, an elite U.S. military unit assigned primarily to hunt in Iraq for senior officials in Hussein's government) and "PSYOP," the U.S. military term for propaganda work..." (WP. 10 April 2006)

The military's propaganda program, according to the Washington Post, has "largely been aimed at Iraqis, but seems to have spilled over into the U.S. media. One briefing slide about U.S. "strategic communications" in Iraq, prepared for Army Gen. George W. Casey Jr., the top U.S. commander in Iraq, describes the "home audience" as one of six major targets of the American side of the war." (WP, op cit.)

An internal document produced by U.S. military headquarters in Iraq, states that "the Zarqawi PSYOP program is the most successful information campaign to date."

dooood...

this is the world i live in: you're ready to "disbelieve" a guy before you "believe" him.

or me.

(sigh)

i feel you man, but with all the crap he knows and the thousands of hours of evidence he's collected, he could be making predictions every single day - like the neo-cons do.

instead he's only made the one before 9/11.

and now?

the bad guys are certainly making it seem "reasonable" that one will occur by doing arrests for "terrorism" every week these days - and scaring the crap out of us while screwing innocent brown people by denying them access to procedural law - and then using media blackouts to hide that fact.

don't buy the psy-op dood.

* until you have "evidence" that someone is a liar you should trust that they mean well by looking at who they're affecting with their comments - e.g. accusing a homicidal and lying government of planning more homicide and lying - or - killing millions of innocent arabs for no good reason with our massive military and economic superiority - and then go from there. that's it. *

as for the "bad mofo's who hate the west..."

there never used to be.

there were only people who hated our foreign policy, whereas you're alluding to people who hate "the west" like they mean "us".

don't buy the psy-op dood.

it's a bad idea.

as for the shindig, i'd love to man, but the smartest people i know are "making sense" of this mess by taking bits'n'pieces of the mainstream lies they refuse to let go of and constructing their own paranoid fantasies, and we're in some serious, serious, serious trouble here.

iran is no threat to israel or the west unless israel or the west want to threaten iran.

it make no sense otherwise.

and... they always say not-nice things about each other.

this is perfectly normal:

"There is no such thing as a Palestinian people... It is not as if we came and threw them out and took their country. They didn't exist."

-- Golda Meir, statement to The Sunday Times, 15 June, 1969.

it sucks, but it's normal.

just like the soldier-prisoner swaps on the Lebanese border.

remember: they didn't even kill the two soldiers they captured, and if Canada captured two American soldiers near the border setting up NSA spying and the U.S. military dropped a bomb on Toronto killing thousands of people... we'd be mad.

as long as we accept the mass media's portrayal of this conflict as an "imminent threat" - like we did with "iraq" - then millions more will die for no reason.

don't buy the psy-op dood.

i hope to see you guys, all i need to do is convince a couple billion more people and i'll be happy. i'll see what i can get done by friday... ;P

peace,
bk


(...)


naw man,

you just picked your "lie" to believe in based on your personal and political affiliation with it, that's all.

it's the same as the "red states" buying whatever the government says about "saddam", and there's no "history" of those comments that's given any significance - and we'd never even heard of any before, nor any parallel history of serious iranian sabre-rattling since there is absolutely no point in it:

they'll get crushed.

in fact, this is why The West is making you think they're a threat:

so they can crush them.

in fact, this is why Israel keeps their people scared and controlled while treating the Palestinians like dirt:

so they can crush them.

sorry man, this is what i mean:

crappier situations make violence seem reasonable.

they allow us to channel our darkest thoughts.

and it's happening now.

to all of us.

and just like they turned "afghanistan" into "iraq", they're now creating "hezbollalqaedallah!!!" - a simple threat conflation - which is making you think we need to go kill people.

official intelligence reports suggest that iran is at least 10 years away from building a bomb, and no intelligence sources on any side even know where any facilities are - so they can't confirm they exist.

either way, so what if they get a bomb?

lots of countries who have proven records of systemic atrocities have nuclear weapons and get to keep them, and even if they get "one" bomb that's a hell of a long way away from having a massive nuclear arsenal - not to mention they'd commit suicide by using it against any Western nation anyway.

and: if you think they want to do that then the dehumanization program against Muslims has completely worked on you - and they're all crazy.

all one billion of them.

check my sources man, i know you think you're right, but you're not, and the problem with being wrong in situations like this is that it leads to tacitly or actively supporting the unneccessary deaths of millions of innocent people.

this can be stopped if we pay attention to the people asking us to who are not part of the machine that's repeatedly "selling" us the need to go to war, and allowing only "safe" criticism within a paradigm that doesn't actually stop or slow down any of the planned "endless wars" and "domestic tyranny".

trust me: we have information options.

peace,
bk

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

We're in some serious, serious, serious trouble here.

We have to stop grading the "news" on a "curve", and take our
knowledge that the mainstream media and our government are lying to us
all the way to the truth.

We have to understand that power has nothing but contempt for the
press, and that for the most part the press respects that.

We have to stop drinking rat poison slowly while thinking it's
harmless, because as long as they grab 20 "terrorists" a week on bogus
charges and order press blackouts they'll eventually silence all of us
by convincing us or scaring us.

We have to understand that it's never been more in-style to "not
know", and as comedian Chris Rock in "Bring The Pain" painstakingly
noted: that's a bad idea.

We have to stop trusting powerful institutions over compassionate people.

We have to understand that Saving The World will never be easier than
it is right now, and that if we don't do something right now it will
only get harder.

We have to understand that if five hijackers tried to take over any
airplane that I was on using "boxcutters", me and 200 other passengers
would laugh for a minute and then beat the crap out of them.

I've distilled over 2 years of research into 2 hours of homework,
please take a look at it.

VIGILANT GUARDIAN Aug 19-27: Media to join Canadian Army in 9/11-like War Game (Canadian Free Press / Infowars.com)

Canadian Free Press / Infowars.com

More on VIGILANT GUARDIAN Aug 19-27

Media to join Canadian Army in 9/11-like War Game

Canada Free Press | August 16, 2006

By Judi McLeod

The same "Vigilant Guardian" drills that took place on 9/11 will be run during EXERCISE VIGILANT GUARDIAN '06, in Petawawa, Ontario from Saturday, August 19 to Sunday, August 27.

The mission, described by the Canadian Arny as a "practise Full-Spectrum Operation" will involve some 2,500 soldiers from across Ontario, and that's put some War Game observers on Red Alert.

Falseflag.net notes that "these (are) the same drills that were being run on 9/11 in order to deplete the NORAD air defenses and set up fake hijackings."

It is generally accepted that there was a military stand down on September 11, 2001.

The stand down has been a subject of criticism and speculation ever since.

NORAD (North American Aerospace Defense Command was more prepared than usual on 9/11, because it was conducting a week-long semi-annual exercise called Vigilant Guardian.

The coincidence of War Games being conducted in real time on the morning of September 11, 2001 has spawned a cottage industry for conspiracy theories.

"This is America, the most advanced military technologically capable country in the world, and it is just impossible to believe that they could have been that incompetent," said UK MP Michael Meacher, in the 9/11 aftermath.

Some pundits were even more blunt. "Question: How was a plane which was known to be hostile able to have an unimpeded 48-minute joyride around US airspce before slamming into the heart of the US military? Answer: Stand down."

"On 9/11 the world's only military superpower was apparently oblivious to the location of rogue airliners in it's (sic) airspace for over an hour, and military commanders were left perplexed on how to deal with the situation of hijackers using these planes as flying bombs." (What Really Happened). "This confusion resulted in fighter jets flying around aimlessly whilst the hierarchy fully assessed what was going on, and this total lack of cohesion ultimately led to the loss of nearly 3000 lives."

When the Canadian Armed Forces stages its "Vigalant Guardian" war games on August 19, they will be accompanied by what radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh calls the "fly by media".

Members of the broadcast and print media are being invited to embed with the Canadian Army, and to experience a "battle rhythm" of combat-related activities and exercises."

Members of the public at large are not likely impressed that EXERCISE VIGILANT GUARDIAN will go off any more smoothly with the mainstream media along for the ride.

The embed exercise is described as a change for reporters and news crews to experience the embedding process and to get an inside look at life in a Forward Operating Base; "living with, patrolling with, and reporting on Canadian soldiers in an operation-like setting."

The exercise will involve all 40 of the Reserve units of Land Force Central Area (LFCA), the Army command in Ontario, Air Force, Communication, and Field Ambulance Reservists will also deploy to support the exercise.

Full-spectrum operations can include as simultaneous combination of humanitarian assistance, stabilization and/or peace support operations, generally set within the context of medium-intensity fighting, as described by exercise spokespeople.

A suggested packing list of persomal gear and cothing for media types includes a Tilley-type hat, heavyweight socks and lightweight socks.

Meanwhile, the concept of media teaming up with military personnel for yet another War Game gives more than 9/11 conspiracy theorists a case of the willies.

US-Canadian exercise "Vigilant Guardian" Aug 17-26 (same exercise run on 9-11)

Daily News | August 04, 2006

Media Invited to Embed with Canadian Army

Members of the broadcast and print media are being invited to embed with the Canadian Army, and to experience a "battle rhythm" of combat-related activities and exercises.

Some 2,500 soldiers from across Ontario will be involved in what's called a "practise Full-Spectrum Operation" during EXERCISE VIGILANT GUARDIAN '06, to be held in Petawawa, ON from Saturday, August 19 to Sunday, August 27.

The exercise is described as a chance for reporters and news crews to experience the embedding process and to get an inside look at life in a Forward Operating Base; living with, patrolling with, and reporting on Canadian soldiers in an operation-like setting.

Opportunities include: cordon-and-search operations, presence patrolling, raids and vehicle checkpoints. As well, there will be opportunities to cover artillery live-fire and armoured reconnaissance.

Embedding media can sign up for as long as they want, up to the duration of the Exercise.

There will be high-speed Internet connections available at an Exercise Public Information Centre to assist media in sending/filing their stories from Petawawa; media are advised to bring their own laptop computers for composing stories.

For embeds, the ideal is to plan for a two-and-a-half day embed, with a first half-day for orientation prior embedding on the first evening. The second day reporters would integrate with soldiers as the troops ready themselves in a planning and preparation cycle. Reporters are given insight into battle procedure, and will accompany the soldiers on assignment the third day.

The exercise will involve all 40 of the Reserve units of Land Force Central Area (LFCA), the Army command in Ontario. Air Force, Communication, and Field Ambulance Reservists will also deploy to support the exercise.

Full-spectrum operations can include simultaneous combination of humanitarian assistance, stabilization and/or peace support operations, generally set within the context of medium-intensity fighting, exercise spokepeople describe. As the culmination of a year of training, Vigilant Guardian '06 is designed to demonstrate the skills and cohesion of the units involved and will simulate as closely as possible actual overseas operations.

A suggested packing list of personal gear and clothing for media is provided to the media, with notes on clothing to be worn and suggested items for a small knapsack.

Packing List for Embedded Media – based on a 48-72 hour embed:

Clothing to be worn
(All clothing should be of a neutral colour – especially avoid white, bright or fluorescent colours.)
Sturdy hiking-type boots

CHIP? Oh c'mon... I betcha can't have just one: "Implanted Chips in Our Troops?" + The 22nd Amendment may be... umm... amended.

Implanted Chips in Our Troops?

Newsmax | August 22 2006

A Florida company wants to get under the skin of 1.4 million U.S. servicemen and women.

VeriChip Corp, based in Delray Beach, Fla., and described by the D.C. Examiner as "one of the most aggressive marketers of radio frequency identification chips," is hoping to convince the Pentagon to allow them to insert the chips, known as RFID(Radio Frequency Identification) chips under the skin of the right arms of U.S. servicemen and servicewomen to enable them to scan an arm and obtain that person’s identity and medical history. The chips would replace the legendary metal dog tags that have been worn by U.S. military personnel since 1906.

The device is usually implanted above the triceps area of an individual’s right arm, but can also by implanted in the hand if scanned at the proper frequency. The VeriChip responds with a unique 16-digit number, which can correlate the user to information stored on a database for identity verification, medical records access and other uses. The insertion procedure is performed under local anesthetic, and once inserted it is invisible to the naked eye.

The company, which the Examiner notes has powerful political connections, is "in discussions” with the Pentagon, VeriChip spokeswoman Nicole Philbin told the Examiner. "The potential for this technology doesn’t just stop at the civilian level,” Philbin said. Company officials have touted the chips as versatile, able to be used in a variety of situations such as helping track illegal immigrants or giving doctors immediate access to patient’s medical records.

On Monday the Department of State started to issue electronic passports (e-passports) equipped with RFID chips. According to reports the U.S. government has placed an order with a California company, Infineon Technologies North America, for smart chip-embedded passports.

The Associated Press said the new U.S. passports include an electronic chip that contains all the data contained in the paper version name, birth date, gender, for example and can be read by digital scanners at equipped airports. They cost 14 percent more than their predecessors but the State Department said they will speed up going through Customs and help enhance border security.

The company's hefty political clout is typified by having former secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, Tommy Thompson, on its board of directors.

Thompson assured the Examiner that the chip is safe and that no one — not even military personnel, who are required by law to follow orders — will be forced to accept an implant against his or her will. He has also promised to have a chip implanted in himself but could not tell the Examiner when.

"I’m extremely busy and I’m waiting until my hospitals and doctors are able to run some screens," he told the newspaper.

Not everybody agrees with Thompson, the Examiner reported, noting that the idea of implanting the chips in live bodies has some veterans’ groups and privacy advocates worried.


"It needs further study,” Joe Davis, a retired Air Force major and a spokesman for the D.C. office of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, told the Examiner.

And Liz McIntyre, co-author with Katherine Albrecht of "Spychips: How Major Corporations and Government Plan to Track your Every Move with RFID," said that VeriChip is "a huge threat” to public privacy.

"They’re circling like vultures for any opportunity to get into our flesh,” McIntyre told the Examiner. "They’ll start with people who can’t say no, like the elderly, sex offenders, immigrants and the military. Then they’ll come knocking on our doors.”

In an e-mail to the Examiner, Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., wrote: "If that is what the Defense Department has in mind for our troops in Iraq, there are many questions that need answers. "What checks and balances, safeguards and congressional oversight would there be?” Leahy asked. "What less-invasive alternatives are there? What information would be entered on the chips, and could it endanger our soldiers or be intercepted by the enemy?”

The company, the Examiner wrote, is also unsure about the technology. According to company documents, radio frequencies in ambulances and helicopters could disrupt the chips’ transmissions. In a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, VeriChip also said it was unsure whether the chip would dislodge and move through a person’s body. It could also cause infections and "adverse tissue reactions,” the SEC filing states.

But Philbin downplayed the danger of the chips.

"It’s the size of a grain of rice,” she said. "It’s like getting a shot of penicillin.”

In popular culture

In the graphic novel Watchmen, a crushing U.S. victory in the Vietnam War leads to the repeal of the 22nd Amendment and the repeated reelection of President Richard M. Nixon, who still serves as of 1985, the year in which Watchmen is set.

"Ooh boy", the Rightists are at again. This time, they want to repeal the 22nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution so that their iconic representative can illegitimately occupy the White House for an unlimited amount of time. For those of you who have no idea about what I'm referring to, I'll clarify.
