URUKNET.INFO - Paying The Price: Killing the Children of Iraq by John Pilger (Video)
Video: Paying The Price - Killing the Children of Iraq by John Pilger
The Fanonite
March 30, 2007
The immediacy of the unfolding tragedy in Iraq at times makes one forget that prior to the war, the nation had already endured twelve years of devastation sanctions, where the highest price was paid by the children of Iraq. According to the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization, 567,000 children had died already by the end of 1995 from the effects of the sanctions. Two courageous officials — Dennis Halliday and Hans von Sponeck — resigned their posts at the UN because they were unwilling to carry out a genocide masquerading as foreign policy.
To the American secretary of state, Madeleine Albright, this price was "worth it". Here is, "Paying the Price: Killing the Children of Iraq", John Pilger’s moving portrait of the devastation wrought on the Iraqi society by the UN on behalf of US and UK.

Webster G. Tarpley - How To Stop World War Three
::: 60 MINS :::
SOURCE FOR SURVIVAL - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbS7hAxJ954
Hey Folks,
Despite having less than a week to stop World War Three (again) in the Persian Gulf, this is a fantastic time to be alive, and not because of what we individually have to gain, but because we can make lasting positive changes for our planet thanks to the available individuals and information. This is pretty much it, and if we're lazy or limited in our ambition we'll lose this opportunity. (Oh, and sorry for the long email, we're just missing a bunch of stuff we need to know, and I remember in the movie "Gandhi" seeing a whole bunch of brown guys walk up to the salt mines and line-up to get peacefully whacked in the head, so I don't think this is that much of a neo-compromise.)
Thanks to a wealth of history and information cross-referenced and publicly available, we don't have to settle for rhetorical solutions any longer, or waxing poetically about problems instead of identifying the real profits and people in place that entrench them. This is not all due to malice, but rather the cynical framing of real progress as an impossibility thanks to widespread institutional control. It's not true and it's not difficult, and instead of becoming experts on everything we simply have to learn who to trust.
Over the next few months this will be the key to our survival, and the best way to certify possibility is to discover it for yourself.
Just track back the ownership of your workplace or bank for starters, you'll realize there are more questions than you are encouraged to ask, and you won't be surprised at the questions other people come up with. No individual or institution is beyond reproach, asking questions is legitimate, and fake credibility is something we hate anyway.
Simple stuff can work, like avoiding doing business with the largest banks or corporations to avoid them growing into monopolies; talking about who you're voting for with serious critics to make sure you're not accidentally supporting an idiot; and giving the next few homeless people you see a couple of bucks each to cure depression (it's cheaper than a shrink or a movie) and having the meek of the earth certify you're alright. Problems and solutions become really simple once reality is revealed, and everyone can work on their own once they have a decent knowledge-base and believe progress is possible.
Thanks to dedicated people learning and sharing tons of information, we're in pretty good shape to discover the mysteries of history. We used to know rich and evil people, we used to look for them, and we used to make fun of them. We used to pass this knowledge on to our kids after battling tyrants for thousands of years, and now it's a simple matter of re-learning the obvious.
We can finally break free of the abusive relationship we have with their corporate media, and make better choices that reflect the better choices made by our peers. We're not doing ourselves any good by trusting people who've lied to us repeatedly, it's not good to hang on to friends who do it, and it's part of the overall feeling of cynicism about everything that keeps us from trusting anyone. They make it look bad while hiding what's really happening, leaving us ignorant and depressed without giving us any shot at improving our situation.
Consider this result a "win" for the corporate media, because even if you don't trust them they've taught you to trust everyone else even less, which means you'll go back to them anyway. This is just like an abusive partner hitting you and then saying "Nobody could love you like I do baby", and it's crap. Get help, and get a new relationship that treats you better before your self-esteem is destroyed.
Nobody explains how money, power, governments and corporations work without foundation funding or mainstream media coverage unless they really mean it, and thanks to their efforts we can re-define who to trust. Truth and integrity are often compromised by money, and when the option of making a lot of money for a lot of work is taken out of the equation it gets pretty confusing. (Except for the Olympics.)
Instead of being a "mainstream conspiracy theorist" and concocting some bizarre slander to discredit it, figure out the truth:
Some people just don't give a damn because they just do give a damn. (Worrrd.)
It's worth paying attention to, and a simple look at what's being suppressed can give you a clue as to it's value. Generally speaking the opposite is true as well, and what we're all encouraged to learn parallels the decades of funding cuts to education: they want us stupid.
It's unsettling to know that institutions with power and influence can't be trusted, but it's far more dangerous to ignore them than hold them accountable. The elite selling the hysterical "Global Warming Rapture!" to the Left and the hysterical "War on Terror Rapture!" to the Right have been exposed as liars, and the proposed solutions to both fake problems lead to a "Global Genocide Rapture!" by entrenching poverty and endless war. That's how dangerous buying into the madness is today, which is the bad part, but the good part is that most people don't trust governments and corporations, so the next step is figuring out why.
You already like The Matrix, and once you understand it you'll give yourself the best chance to save it.
This is not an issue of resource scarcity (The Peak Oil Fraud) or manifest destiny (The Guns, Germs and Steel Fraud), it's the global elite getting panicked at the political awakening of billions of people and doing everything they can to suppress it. There are countless lies that disguise the truth, but the most important thing isn't guessing or identifying them lie-by-lie, it's understanding that you shouldn't have to.
It's also learning that websites like PrisonPlanet.com and Infowars.com have limited resources, and that 80% of their daily newswire content is made up of isolated stories in the mainstream media written by decent journalists trying to get the truth out. These articles are "real" and contradict the propaganda that grabs all of our attention at once to get us talking about nonsense, and they are significant because they're from the same institutions people already trust. You can use these examples you otherwise might not have seen to convince other people, and once you add more history and context these examples begin to make more sense in creating a bigger picture narrative of what's really happening.
This narrative composed in large part of mainstream stories will be called a "conspiracy theory" by the mainstream media, but that's because they sold something different as a whole, like Saddam's responsibility for 9/11 or Iraqi WMD's reported in The New York Times after Scooter Libby told them to write it down. In fact, the individual stories make a far more compelling narrative when they're not protecting corruption and power, and Paul Thompson's book "The Terror Timeline" lists 7000 mainstream stories in chronological order that contradict the official conspiracy theory about the 9/11 attacks. This became the inspiration for the "9/11: Press for Truth" movie about the Bush Administration's brutal treatment of the 9/11 Victims families asking for an investigation into the deaths of their loved ones.
Stories are in the mass media, and it's more a matter of which ones you make a big deal of: the ones that benefit people or power?
The term "conspiracy theory" is a scary brand, but that doesn't mean there aren't "conspiracies" when it's the most common charge in any court of law, and when it simply means 2 or more people decided to secretly discuss doing something illegal or immoral - which happens millions of times a day. The corporate-media demonizes anyone they see as a threat to the establishment, and the biggest threats are the people exposing who they are and what crimes they're committing - or the "conspiracies" that enrich them while confusing us. They've even made "liberal" into a dirty word, and repeat this nonsense so often that other people start to. It's a trick to get us not to trust anyone but them, and after we've seen governments and corporate media exposed as liars hundreds of times over the last few years by Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert, it's time to move on.
I mean a whole bunch of lies is a whole bunch of lies, that's enough for me, but if you need more proof you can certainly find more.
There are hundreds of great websites and radio shows out there that reveal the truth, but I like these PrisonPlanet.com and Infowars.com because they work harder on Saving The World than anyone I've ever seen and show us the proof. With a half-dozen websites, 15 movies, a massive online TV Network Archive for 15-cents a day or less and more, they're serious about getting it done. They promote hundreds of other activists and whistleblowers, many of whom rarely get exposure, and pull no punches in letting people expose the crimes and criminals we're facing.
I'm sorry if it's not polite to accuse our leaders of the worst crimes in history, but when it's true, what're you going to do? Go to the parade?
Support Congressman Ron Paul (R-TX) for President (http://www.ronpaul2008.com/) instead, and understand that he's spent years saying the privately and secretly owned U.S. Federal Reserve needs to be phased-out in favor of a new, publicly owned, accountable and stable monetary system with the goal of raising living standards for everybody. This thought on it's own obliterates any words said by any politician in the last 100 years, and is an example of real "truth" sneaking it's way into mainstream politics. This stuff is real, and we have real people discussing it and a real chance to put them in positions of power. While we have our freedom we can change the course of history for the better for generations to come, to say nothing of improving the rest of our own lives.
Discover the answers to the lies and blow people's minds, and while most mass media tries to dumb us down, get smart enough to help stop them...
Impeach George W. Bush over North American Union agenda says Republican Presidential candidate
AgoraCosmopolitan | March 30, 2007 Ron Paul / Compiled by Iain Mackenzie
Republican Congressman and Presidential candidate Ron Paul says U.S. President Bush has presided over a system wide doctrine of violating the Constitution, from the Iraq War in the "War on Terrorism" and pursuing a North American Union agenda, without legally required Congressional oversight. Such oversight is legally prescribed by the U.S. Constitution.
During an interview with Alex Jones on the GCN Radio network, Paul had outlined the likely scenario as to how impeachment proceedings would unfold.
"I'd be surprised if they win both - I think they're going to win one body and if they win the House right now they do not say they would have an impeachment but I think the way that place operates I think they probably will make every effort," said Paul.
"If they happened to have a ten or fifteen vote margin that would be a political thing - it would be payback time."
Paul said that Bush should be impeached not under the umbrella of partisan vengeance but for ceaselessly breaking the laws of the land.
"I would have trouble arguing that he's been a Constitutional President and once you violate the Constitution and be proven to do that I think these people should be removed from office."
Opining that the U.S. had entered a period of "soft fascism," Paul noted that the legacy of the Bush administration has been the total abandonment of Constitutional principles.
"Congress has generously ignored the Constitution while the President flaunts it, the courts have ignored it and they get in the business of legislating so there's no respect for the rule of law." said Paul.
"When the President signs all these bills and then adds statements after saying I have no intention of following it - he's in a way signing it and vetoing - so in his mind he's vetoing a lot of bills, in our mind under the rule of law he hasn't vetoed a thing."
North American Union agenda toward an anti-democratic "New World Order"
Asked what the ultimate agenda was behind the American Union and the push on behalf of the Bush administration to homogenize the US with Mexico and Canada, Paul was clear in his response.
"I think the goal is one world government... we have the WTO, the IMF, the World Bank, then we have all the subsidiaries like NAFTA and hemispheric governments, highways coming in."
"I just hope and pray that we can wake up enough people," said Paul, noting that Texans in his own backyard were more aware of Bush selling out the country for an North American Union than anyone in Washington.
Ron Paul further says, "Globalists and one-world promoters never seem to tire of coming up with ways to undermine the sovereignty of the United States. The most recent attempt comes in the form of the misnamed Security and Prosperity Partnership Of North America (SPP). In reality, this new "partnership" will likely make us far less secure and certainly less prosperous."
According to the U.S. government website dedicated to the project, the SPP is neither a treaty nor a formal agreement. Rather, it is a "dialogue" launched by the heads of government of Canada, Mexico, and the United States at a summit in Waco, Texas in March, 2005.

There is also still a gun pointed at Iran's head, and the Pentagon plans for nuclear war drawn up under protest are being executed.
While a bunch of domestic crap distracts us, we're not seeing any of the many battleships float away.
There are many reasons to attack, including as an excuse for domestic abuse.
False flag terrorist attacks.
Higher gas prices.
Dead internet.
Martial law.
Anything.
Plus.
...
The exact date, time and targeting was reported by Argumenti Nedeli, a well-respected Russian weekly, who should not automatically be distrusted and discounted because they are Russian. They, like many sane people, are trying to stop Iran from being nuked with details and facts backed up by U.S. military carrier groups in the Persian Gulf, and to avoid being drawn into the conflict until we're all fighting World War Three.
The article has made it's way in several translations in articles and blogs across Europe, though notably - like Daniel Estulin's internationally acclaimed and best-selling book on The Biderberg Group available in 21 languages - not in English. It was likely based on frantic worldwide military and intelligence leaks, and beyond the obvious saber-rattling, the seriousness was confirmed by President Putin's advisor and retired Russian Colonel-General Leonid Ivashoff, who also called for an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council to stop it. Again, just because he's Russian doesn't mean he's less trustworthy than the Bush Adminstration, and any qualified advice that can prevent World War Three should be heard.
Honorable U.S. military and intelligence personnel have to be horrified, especially knowing what this is based on and after Valerie Plame's outing as an undercover CIA agent destroyed her worldwide Weapons of Mass Destruction search team. The Bush Administration has no problem with sacrificing hundreds of CIA agents so other countries have WMD's or try to get them, because then they can use the same script to attack any countries they want. The Bushtapo scum who executed Saddam on Eidh are about to execute Iran on Good Friday, this is who we're dealing with, and sadly there's been barely any mention of this worldwide suicide save for Webster Tarpley writing an article about it here...
Operation Bite: April 6 sneak attack by US Forces against Iran planned, Russian Military sources warn
Monday, 26 March 2007 By Webster G. Tarpley
The long awaited US military attack on Iran is now on track for the first week of April, specifically for 4 AM on April 6, the Good Friday opening of Easter weekend, writes the well-known Russian journalist Andrei Uglanov in the Moscow weekly “Argumenty Nedeli.” Uglanov cites Russian military experts close to the Russian General Staff for his account.
The attack is slated to last for twelve hours, according to Uglanov, lasting from 4 AM until 4 PM local time. Friday is a holiday in Iran. In the course of the attack, code named Operation Bite, about 20 targets are marked for bombing; the list includes uranium enrichment facilities, research centers, and laboratories.
by Michel Chossudovsky Global Research, February 21, 2007
...Revealed last April by William Arkin, a former US intelligence analyst, writing in the Washington Post, TIRANNT was first established in May 2003, following the invasion of Iraq.
"In early 2003, even as U.S. forces were on the brink of war with Iraq, the Army had already begun conducting an analysis for a full-scale war with Iran. The analysis, called TIRANNT, for "theater Iran near term," was coupled with a mock scenario for a Marine Corps invasion and a simulation of the Iranian missile force. U.S. and British planners conducted a Caspian Sea war game around the same time. And Bush directed the U.S. Strategic Command to draw up a global strike war plan for an attack against Iranian weapons of mass destruction. All of this will ultimately feed into a new war plan for "major combat operations" against Iran that military sources confirm now exists in draft form. [This contingency plan entitled CONPLAN 8022 would be activated in the eventuality of a Second 9/11, on the presumption that Iran would be behind it]

Rosie O'Donnell 9/11 Rant Reaches 30 Million Viewers Promises to feature physics professor on The View to discuss WTC collapse
Prison Planet | March 29, 2007 Paul Joseph Watson
::: VIDEO :::
Rosie O'Donnell is certainly not backing away from her public stance about 9/11, and this morning on The View went on a 9 minute rant about the many questions surrounding the attack, reaching around 30 million viewers in the process.
This is the largest single exposure 9/11 truth has enjoyed to date and it represents a watershed moment in the quest to bring the truth to the masses.
We are acquiring the video of the rant and it will be posted here soon.

In a video blog posted on her website yesterday, O'Donnell promised to feature physics professors on The View to discuss the highly suspicious collapse of the WTC towers.
"The thing about World Trade Center 7 is that it was totally left out of the 9/11 Commission - that's weird," said O'Donnell.

This is not a drill, so for the sake of your friends and family, please contact your elected representatives and media internationally and everyone else you can think of and let them know we're on alert for World War Three. Demand this be a national topic of discussion by the weekend with serious answers and coverage, and demand an end to increased aggression in the middle-east.
You can do whatever you think is effective, including using Rosie O'Donnell's latest courageous and informed statements and blogs about 9/11 and the Gulf of Tonkin a year after Charlie Sheen's to reach people obsessed with celebrity and spark conversation. There are many other celebrities who've spoken out as well, and these acts of courage are gifts to the rest of us. Since no one agrees with anyone on everything, we can certainly applaud Ms. O'Donnell's brave stance while casually keeping our own opinions on everything anyway.
It's not a gimmick, and it's been marginalized for a damn good reason.
It's the solution that reveals can throw the criminals in jail while revealing the biggest lie and biggest truth in history, and we can use it to stop these wars forever by revealing who's really behind them. If you're still not ready 5 years later to learn the truth about 9/11 then we might be in trouble, but do what you can to stop World War Three anyway...
WTC Blueprints Leaked by Whistleblower Unseen documents show official investigations used flawed construction details
Infowars.net | March 28, 2007 Steve Watson
A whistleblower that was on a team working for Silverstein Group in 2002 has made public an extensive set of detailed architectural drawings of the World Trade Center, that prove beyond any doubt that the official reports into the collapse of the towers misrepresented their construction.
The documents were passed to physics Professor Steven Jones, formerly of Brigham Young University, who has done extensive research into the collapse of the buildings and contends that explosives were used to bring them down.

U.S. to end biggest war games in Gulf since 2003
Reuters Thursday, March 29, 2007
The U.S. navy ends its largest exercise in Gulf waters since 2003 on Thursday, a spokesman for the U.S. Fifth Fleet said.
Two aircraft carriers took part in the exercises, which included anti-submarine, anti-surface and mine warfare drills -- the first time two such vessels have been sent to patrol the Gulf since the U.S.-led war on Iraq four years ago.
"The majority of the exercises are wrapped up and some training activities are ending today...I'm sure there hasn't been a larger exercise in the Gulf since 2003," said Fifth Fleet spokesman Lieutenant-Commander Charlie Brown.
The Fifth Fleet has said a decision to hold the exercises was taken within the last two weeks, and planning for the drills accelerated as tensions mounted between Iran and the West over Iran's nuclear program and its capture of British sailors.

Rosie Reinforces 9/11 Position With Blog on Gulf of Tonkin Will Mainstream Media Consider NSA Declassified History 'Kook' Ravings As Well?
Aaron Dykes / Jones Report | March 27, 2007
Actress Rosie O'Donnell's public statements on 9/11-- already carefully laid out on the solid ground of WTC 7's clear controlled demolition in her blog-- is now further backed up by an historical account of the Gulf of Tonkin as an "imaginary" event on her blog.
President Johnson used the 1964 staged event to expand dramatically the scale of the Vietnam War by ushering in the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, as well as to rope in much needed domestic support with the Congress and public.

Cuban Resolute Against Neo-Con Intimidation Billionaire remains determined to bring Loose Change to big screen in face of threats
Paul Joseph Watson Prison Planet Thursday, March 29, 2007
Despite several attempts on behalf Neo-Con and thugs and their mindless cheerleaders to threaten billionaire Mark Cuban into backing away from a project to mass distribute Loose Change, Cuban has remained resolute in his determination to bring the film to the big screen.
During a radio interview last Friday, Fox bully Bill O'Reilly warned Cuban as well as Charlie Sheen who is set to narrate the movie, that he would be "looking out" for them and that Sheen's career would be "finished" if he went ahead with the project.
In an interview with the Dallas Morning News, Cuban restates his intention to distribute the film and fends off the intimidation of the attack dogs who wish to see the entire venture deep sixed.
Dallas Mavericks owner Cuban quotes JFK in citing the necessity of giving an open forum to controversial subjects.
"We are not afraid to entrust the American people with unpleasant facts, foreign ideas, alien philosophies and competitive values. For a nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people."

This whole thing is ridiculous, and if Islam is by it's nature such a violent and hateful religion, how come so many of the 1.2 billion Muslims in the world are chilling out while their brothers and sisters are being tortured and murdered? Seriously, a violent and hateful religion by it's very definition should inspire violent and hateful reactions by a whole bunch of them, perhaps 50%, or 600 million people. We don't see that. Okay then, a violent and hateful religion should by it's definition inspire at least a big chunk of them to retaliate with violence and hatred, or perhaps 10%, or 120 million people. We don't see that either.
We don't seem to remember that most of these people wanted to send their kids to America for a better education. Seriously. They don't hate our "values", and the average middle-eastern DVD and CD collection quickly reveals that lie. After killing over 2 million Iraqi's starting with the Gulf War and subsequent sanctions, the criminal scum running the U.S. government are now trying to cover up how fast they're finishing the job, and reminding us that nobody who disagrees is safe...

The Pentagon's Power to Jail Americans Indefinitely

The presiding judge in the José Padilla case has held that the Sixth Amendment's guarantee of a speedy trial does not protect American citizens from being indefinitely incarcerated by the Pentagon.
Padilla had filed a motion to dismiss the case on the ground that the federal government had denied him his right to a speedy trial. Padilla has been in custody since May 2002 and his trial, which is scheduled to begin in April, is not being held until some five years later.

We can see the media is lying to us, and hiding the horrors of the wars we're currently fighting while selling us another one.
That's the truth.
They're selling us stories of "car-bombs" instead of "carpet-bombs" because we drop them and kill hundreds of more people, and they're avoiding telling us that we're behind the "insurgency" and "sectarian violence" to keep the occupation going, including running pseudo and counter-gangs in classic NATO destabilization efforts, most likely the people who bomb mosques to get the other side enraged. They're also sanctioning the support of other middle-eastern countries like Pakistan and Saudi Arabia funneling money and arms to various groups and giving them refuge, because all that does is keep the conflict and weapons sales going.
But: it gets worse.
The Congressional Church Committee hearings of 1975 into the activities of the CIA discovered "Operation Phoenix", or the CIA running PICS (Prisoner Interrogation Centers) where they trained South Vietnamese to torture their North Vietnamese captives and killed "20,000" of them, fueling and extending the conflict on behalf of weapons manufacturers. The same thing is happening now in Iraq with U.S. military and intelligence personnel helping the Iraqi government set-up these torturing hell-holes, fueling and extending the conflict on behalf of weapons manufacturers. This is an old disgusting game, and we should stop repeating the racist crap in the media that seems to vaguely justify our honorable participation in this particular genocide...
Silence of the Lambs? Proof of US orchestration of Death Squads Killings in Iraq A Cry to Raise Our Voices!

Testimony of Iraqi torture victim confirms the presence of US personnel at the infamous Jadiriyah bunker
...In October last year I had the privilege to interview one of the victims of that terrible abuse, the distinguished former Professor of Pedagogy at Baghdad University Tareq Samarree, who had been seized from his home in March 2005 by plain-clothed interior ministry personnel without charge. Professor Samarree, who provided a horrific first-hand account of the torture that he had suffered as well as details of others who had died and of the disappearance of his son within the Iraqi detention system, never had sight of any hint of judicial process nor any access to the outside world. What made Professor Samarree’s story most striking were the details of his release. Professor Samarree’s physical condition was so bad when the American soldiers discovered the facility that he, along with around a dozen other detainees, was instantly taken to a local hospital. Here, he and his companions remained without access to lawyers, journalists, officials or even a telephone. In fact, it quickly became clear that these victims of torture were to be returned to Iraqi detention. Professor Samarree, another of whose sons lives in the United States, was fortunate to be able to persuade an American solider to take pity on him and assist him and two of his companions to escape. The last words the soldier said to Professor Samarree were ‘Run, run. Don’t look back!’
Within days Professor Samarree had arranged for himself and his family to flee the country. He is now in Europe, where he is claiming political asylum.
The full details of Professor Samarree’s story and a detailed account of the US-built Iraqi intelligence apparatus are contained in the article Ghosts of Jadiriyah, published by the BRussells Tribunal. It should be noted that the story was offered on the one-year anniversary of discovery of the Jadiryah facility to a range of mainstream media publications, including New Yorker, New Statesman, the Independent, The Big Issue, as well as to the radical left publication Z Mag.

Subverting Iran Washington's Covert War inside Iran
by Gregory Elich Global Research, March 23, 2007
...According to a former CIA official, funding for armed separatist groups operating in Iran is paid from the CIA’s classified budget. The aim, claims Fred Burton, an ex-State Department counter-terrorism agent, is “to supply and train” these groups “to destabilize the Iranian regime.” (1)
The largest and most well known of the anti-government organizations is Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK), operating out of Iraq. For years MEQ had launched cross-border attacks and terrorist acts against Iran with the support of Saddam Hussein. Officially designated a terrorist organization by the U.S. State Department in 1997, and disarmed of heavy weaponry by the U.S. military six years later, Washington has since come to view MEK in a different light. Three years ago, U.S. intelligence officials suggested looking the other way as the MEK rearmed and to use the organization to destabilize Iran, a recommendation that clearly has been accepted. (2)
Accusing MEK of past involvement in repressive measures by former president Saddam Hussein, the current Iraqi government wants to close down Camp Ashraf, located well outside of Baghdad, where many of the MEK fighters are stationed. But the camp operates under the protection of the U.S. military, and American soldiers chauffeur MEK leaders. The Iraqi government is unlikely to get its way, as the MEK claims to be the primary U.S. source for intelligence on Iran. (3)

Terrorized by 'War on Terror' How a Three-Word Mantra Has Undermined America
By Zbigniew Brzezinski Sunday, March 25, 2007; Page B01
The "war on terror" has created a culture of fear in America. The Bush administration's elevation of these three words into a national mantra since the horrific events of 9/11 has had a pernicious impact on American democracy, on America's psyche and on U.S. standing in the world. Using this phrase has actually undermined our ability to effectively confront the real challenges we face from fanatics who may use terrorism against us.
The damage these three words have done -- a classic self-inflicted wound -- is infinitely greater than any wild dreams entertained by the fanatical perpetrators of the 9/11 attacks when they were plotting against us in distant Afghan caves. The phrase itself is meaningless. It defines neither a geographic context nor our presumed enemies. Terrorism is not an enemy but a technique of warfare -- political intimidation through the killing of unarmed non-combatants.
If you don't believe any of this, then you figure out what 3 carrier groups are doing in the Persian Gulf and why more keep being added. Hopefully we'll settle on UN sanctions, though they suck too, and killed 500,000 children in Iraq. Don't cheer for this solution against an allegedly dangerous country made by proven liars, understand the people forcing it are the crazy criminals in charge of us. The Russians are rolling their eyes at this insanity, and getting ready to respond to a completely manufactured crisis by the secret government working for the London and Wall Street financiers who ultimately control the money-supply fueling this madness, and who have their sights set on Moscow at some point.
Remember: It was Dick Cheney who sold Iran their nuclear technology at Halliburton, and North Korea's too, so this is just a fantasy of his playing out. Jon Stewart even said in an hour-long and highly recommended CSPAN interview in 2004 that the only question VP candidate John Edwards should've asked Dick Cheney in the televised debates was: "Halliburton does business with Iran? Dude... that's insane!" We need to get Cheney some G.I. Joe's or something, or maybe we all chip in and get him the whole set with backgrounds and a sand-pit and everything. Or two sets in case he nukes one of them.
It's mostly based on a misquote too, at least the emotional part of it that war-mongering chicken-hawks quote to justify their racism, paranoia and xenophobia. Iran's President Ahmedinejad actually said he wanted to wipe the "Zionist regime" off the map, and was really referring to the criminally corrupt and war-mongering leadership of Israel, who along with the criminally corrupt and war-mongering Bush Administration want to wipe "Iran's regime" off the map, so it seems more like a trade. Actually, it's worse because the U.S. and Israel have actually made plans and activated their military forces to actually do it, which is a lot more violence than the "free speech" exercised by Ahmedinejad, and another example of violating the Hitler Principle against pre-emptive wars of aggression...
The "Wipe Israel Off The Map" Hoax What Ahmadinejad really said and why this broken record is just another ad slogan for war
Paul Joseph Watson Prison Planet Friday, January 26, 2007
To claim Ahmadinejad has issued a rallying cry to ethnically cleanse Israel is akin to saying that Churchill wanted to murder all Germans when he stated his desire to crush the Nazis. This is about the demise of a corrupt occupying power, not the deaths of millions of innocent people.
...The Guardian's Jonathan Steele cites four different translations, from professors to the BBC to the New York Times and even pro-Israel news outlets, in none of those translations is the word "map" used. The closest translation to what the Iranian President actually said is, "The regime occupying Jerusalem must vanish from the page of time," or a narrow relative thereof. In no version is the word "map" used or a context of mass genocide or hostile military action even hinted at.
The acceptance of the word "map" seemingly originated with the New York Times, who later had to back away from this false translation. The BBC also wrongly used the word and, in comments to Steele, later accepted their mistake but refused to issue a retraction.
"The fact that he compared his desired option - the elimination of "the regime occupying Jerusalem" - with the fall of the Shah's regime in Iran makes it crystal clear that he is talking about regime change, not the end of Israel. As a schoolboy opponent of the Shah in the 1970's he surely did not favor Iran's removal from the page of time. He just wanted the Shah out," writes Steele.

Besides, I don't care if he is anti-semitic, that's not a reason to kill millions of people in Iran, many of whom don't like him anyway, or at least they didn't until Bush's maniacally idiotic saber-rattling turned him into the latest international martyr against NATO military aggression.
There's also been similar barbs traded between Israeli's and the rest of their middle-eastern neighbors for decades since it's founding, and many Israeli leaders have made similar comments about Arabs in the past. There's a hell of a lot more nuance to the feelings expressed in the middle-east about these issues, and for better or worse people express themselves freely about examples more people know because it's a familiar subject. This depth of understanding is vastly unlike the "quote" many people in North America idiotically cite as the only reason to nuke Iran, and reveals our lack of understanding. Ridiculous.
It's not anti-semitic or racist or anything to criticize actions that harm other people unjustly, every country commits them, and governments are the most corrupt and dangerous institutions in history. Since we're on the verge of World War Three, all of ours screwed up, and that includes the government of Israel.
If you want to truly support the PEOPLE of Israel, then don't buy the corporate media and right-wing propaganda hiding the horrors of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan from us. They're just lying again, and the people of Israel give Olmert only a 23% approval rating, even worse than Bush's 30% approval in the U.S., while there were recently strikes with 600,000 civil servants walking off the job. There's a lot of dissatisfaction with the psychopaths in charge, and the people of Israel don't want exploding nukes in their backyard any more than the people of Maine want exploding nukes in Nova Scotia, and like most people don't want nuclear war at all...
Olmert's approval rating dips to a low 23 %
By Gideon Alon January 5, 2007 Haaretz
According to a poll conducted by the Dahaf Institute for the Knesset Channel, 77 percent of Israelis believe that Prime Minister Ehud Olmert is not doing a good job, while only 23 percent gave him a high grade for his performance as prime minister.
About 60 percent of respondents rated Olmert's personal integrity as "not good" and only 30 percent as "good."
Regarding Olmert's decision-making, about 75 percent of respondents said it was "not good" and only 24 percent rated it as "good."
This is the exact same script Hitler worked on when everyone was expecting him to stop at some point, and the neo-con PNAC (Project for the New American Century) cabal in charge of the Bush Presidency even wrote it all down with plans to fight 60 countries. After being marginalized in the Bush Sr. and Clinton administrations, they showed their allegiance to corporate-fascism and military-industrial complex profits, and have been rewarded by allegiance from various media outlets now littered with right-wing think tank shills as experts, many complete idiots because they're working off talking points.
They are legitimizing fascism and endless war based on a lie, and the kick-off to taking all our rights will be the escalation in confrontation with Iran and the international effects of witnessing a nuclear attack on a non-nuclear country who doesn't want to fight at all. A lawyer friend even told me he was cool with KSM's "confession", or disappearances, torture, secret military trials and lies as due-process to help win the endless "War on Terror" fantasy.
This shows the corruption of reasonable and well-trained people by the Nazi-style propaganda we are being bombarded with, and we have to stop being agnostic about the truth and accepting different realities before the people that believe in the fake "War on Terror" are asked to act on it against the rest of us. This is what happened in Nazi Germany, and with about 1/3rd of the population unsupportive of Hitler he employed a large and visible police force to quell any dissent and increase his control. They will also make for an effective political lobby for more "sacrifice", including a draft and other measures such as "national service" to help the endless war effort.
Hitler's lawyer was Carl Schmitt, and after some tutelage he arranged for a young Leo Strauss to get a Rockefeller Foundation grant to begin his studies. This ended up with Strauss being a National Security advisor for many years on U.S. policy, who famously said "The relentless accumulation of wealth is the highest moral duty". His militaristic approach to this aim greatly influenced U.S. foreign military policy, and his ideas godfathered Paul Wolfowitz, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld and others in the neo-conservative movement. Bill Maher had one of these nutcase Professors on recently, a guy who wrote Dick Cheney's favorite book "oooo" which argues that man's "natural state" is to be at war, and a guy who could barely stare at the camera when (lying) answering questions and trying to tone down his war-mongering fascist fantasies.
These are not disconnected sentences, and this is not hyperbole or conjecture.
These are neo-fascist madmen who's origins and ideas need to be understood in order to understand what their dreams of endless war are, and why they must be "driven from public life" (Webster Tarpley) as soon as possible.
This beef is crazy, and it could end worse than Biggie and Tupac's. (R.I.P.)
Gingrich: ‘This Is, In Fact, World War III’ And The U.S. ‘Ought To Be Helping’
This morning on Meet the Press, Newt Gingrich argued we have entered World War III and that the United States ought to engage the effort by “helping the Lebanese government have the strength to eliminate Hezbollah as a military force.” Watch it:
As Matt Stoller points out, Gingrich was also quoted today suggesting that President Bush should be framing the current violence as World War III for the benefit of the fall elections.
This is also a glorious time in history, with the best chance for lasting positive changes benefiting everyone on the planet.
The corporate media exposed hundreds of times a day as liars, and people are finally waking up to the abusive relationship scaring the crap out of them on purpose while keeping them clueless, stressed and paranoid. We are all edgy about the state of the world, and we are all looking for knowledge that will give us certainty. Fortunately it's available, fortunately we can access it, and fortunately friends can vouch for it's authenticity in having studied it for a while. If we learn to trust each other instead of the controlled-corporate media we'll be fine.
If not, they'll divide and conquor and brainwash us off a cliff...

We're supposed to learn something new every day, and we're not supposed to replace something wrong with something right.
If we figure that out we'll be fine, if not we're dead, and it's that simple.
As Genger Galloway, mother of a boy who'd been sodomized in a Texas "torture facility" and still bleeds 4 years later in a different Texas "torture facility" reveals on The Alex Jones Show (streaming at Infowars.com at 1 hr 25 mins into the broadcast until 12 pm EST on Friday), we've got some big problems. We have incredibly evil people in charge of us who've put incredibly evil people in power directly over us, and they're creating child-molestors for Chris Hansen's "Dateling NBC" to catch on film and put on TV.
I saw him on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart recently, part of a parade of law-enforcers in some fashion on TV, which today seems to be full of beautiful women and violent men. Don't trip, I still like Jon Stewart (and Colbert), and he seemed to diss John Kerry for his new crap-ass environmental book, which he wrote with his wife Teresa Heinz Kerry, the Godmother of the Global Warming Fraud who convened the Rio Summit that birthed the Kyoto Protocol. I hope Stewart and Colbert come out against that silliness and a bunch of other stuff, but at least they prove the mass media lies all the time on a daily basis. It's a strange symbiotic relationship, but it's also a hell of a message to the world that we need to move on to sources who really tell us what's happening in an admittedly dangerous world.
Alberto Gonzales is a perfect example of the media exposing half the lies without revealing how bad it really is. Mr. Torture himself used to sanction the Texas "torture facilities" through his office as Attorney General of the State of Texas by suggesting the boys probably liked it, and once we realize that we'll understand just how supremely evil these people are we'll understand that we have to avoid being agnostic about the truth and go after them...
Texas mother urges lawmakers to overhaul juvenile facilities

A Texas mother who says her son became a sexual abuse victim inside a state juvenile facility is now pushing for a clean-up of the troubled Texas Youth Commission (TYC).
Genger Galloway testified before the House Committee on Corrections Monday morning, asking that lawmakers create a better system of accountability to investigate and prosecute cases of abuse.
"No one's helping the children," Galloway said.

Gonzales Implicated In Cover-Up Of New Pedophile Scandal Letter from Sutton's office legitimized raping of boys in minor's facility
Paul Joseph Watson Prison Planet Monday, March 26, 2007
Journalist Jerome Corsi appeared on the Alex Jones Show today to discuss in depth his astounding new investigation that implicates both Alberto Gonzales and U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton in the cover-up of a pedophilia scandal involving the Texas Youth Commission.
"Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton, both already under siege for other matters, are now being accused of failing to prosecute officers of the Texas Youth Commission after a Texas Ranger investigation documented that guards and administrators were sexually abusing the institution's minor boy inmates," writes Corsi in a report for World Net Daily.
"Among the charges in the Texas Ranger report were that administrators would rouse boys from their sleep for the purpose of conducting all-night sex parties."
A 2005 investigation led by Texas Ranger Brian Burzynski revealed that systematic abuse of minors was commonplace at West Texas State School in Pyote, Texas. Burzynski presented the findings of the investigation to both Gonzales and Sutton but was rebuffed, and even received a letter from Sutton's office that attempted to legitimize the sexual abuse of children, claiming that "under 18 U.S.C. Section 242," it would have to be demonstrated "that the boys subjected to sexual abuse sustained "bodily injury," states the letter from Bill Baumann, assistant U.S. attorney in Sutton's office.
Incredulously, Baumann's letter goes on to make the case that the minors consented to and even enjoyed the acts of pedophilia, therefore no further action was necessary.

Globalists Love Global Warming Trilateral Commission, chairman of British Petroleum, CFR, Club of Rome fan hysteria to achieve world government
Prison Planet | March 28, 2007 Paul Joseph Watson
A common charge leveled against those who question the official orthodoxy of the global warming religion is that they are acting as stooges for the western establishment and big business interests. If this is the case, then why do the high priests of the elite and kingpin oil men continue to fan the flames of global warming hysteria?
The Trilateral Commission, one of the three pillars of the New World Order in alliance with Bilderberg and the CFR, met last week in near secrecy to formulate policy on how best they could exploit global warming fearmongering to ratchet up taxes and control over how westerners live their lives.
At the confab, European Chairman of the Trilateral Commission, Bilderberger and chairman of British Petroleum Peter Sutherland (pictured top), gave a speech to his elitist cohorts in which he issued a "Universal battle cry arose for the world to address “global warming” with a single voice."
Echoing this sentiment was General Lord Guthrie, director of N.M. Rothschild & Sons, member of the House of Lords and former chief of the Defense Staff in London, who urged the Trilateral power-brokers to "Address the global climate crisis with a single voice, and impose rules that apply worldwide."
Allegations that skeptics of the man-made explanation behind global warming are somehow doing the bidding of the elite are laughable in the face of the fact that Rothschild operatives and the very chairman of British Petroleum are the ones orchestrating an elitist plan to push global warming fears in order to achieve political objectives.
We have a similar situation to the Peak Oil scam , which was created by the oil industry as a profit boon to promote artificial scarcity, and yet is parroted by environmentalists who grandstand as if they are in opposition to the oil companies.

Big oil tanks up: Exxon's profit nears $10B
By Matt Krantz, USA TODAY Posted 10/27/2005 9:12 AM Updated 10/27/2005 9:59 PM
While drivers have been painfully paying up at the pump, oil companies have been racking up eye-popping profits.
Thursday, ExxonMobil (XOM) became the most stark example yet of how much big oil companies benefited from the huge run-up in oil prices during the third quarter even as two major hurricanes ripped through the industry's Gulf Coast infrastructure. Exxon reported:
• Net income up 75% to $9.92 billion. That is the most a U.S. company has earned from operations in a three-month period and greater than the annual gross domestic product of entire nations including Cameroon and Zimbabwe.
• Revenue up 32% to $100.7 billion. That is greater than the annual GDP of all but just 38 of the world's economies.
Exxon illustrates the energy's sector's tremendous profit amid record-high energy prices. The industry is on pace to earn $96 billion this year — more than what the USA's industrial and telecom companies will earn, combined, says Standard & Poor's based on members of the S&P 500 index.
From CQ Today: Republican’s Opposition Kills Global Warming Concert on Capitol Grounds
By Martin Kady II, CONGRESSIONAL QUARTERLY Published: March 29, 2007
Al Gore may have to face another inconvenient truth — his highly touted Live Earth concert is no match for Senate procedural tactics.
On Wednesday, concert organizers pulled the plug on Washington as a venue for raising money and awareness on climate change, thanks in part to global warming skeptic James M. Inhofe.
From TheHill.com comes word that Senator James Inhofe (R-OK) is joining Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) in blocking Al Gore's request to hold a huge music concert on the Capitol grounds in July.
The concert, dubbed "Live Earth," is designed to spread Gore's political views on the global warming issue, and to pressure Congress to adopt legislation limiting energy use by Americans.
The Hill article, by Elana Schor, says, in part:
...Inhofe vows to put brakes on Gore's 'Live Earth' concert at the Capitol
Fresh from his face-to-face tussle with former Vice President Al Gore, Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.) is vowing to stall Gore's hotly anticipated Capitol concert to draw attention to global warming.
Inhofe's belief that climate change is "the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people" is common knowledge in the capitol, and environmental groups cheered the new prospects for carbon-capping legislation when he ceded the Environment and Public Works Committee gavel this session. But Inhofe's parliamentary powers can block indefinitely the resolution that would permit Gore to choose the capitol's West Front for the U.S. leg of his seven-continent Live Earth concert tour -- a collaboration between Gore and promoter Kevin Wall, who masterminded previous blockbuster charity concerts Live Aid and Live 8.
Poll: Public Concern on Warming Gains Intensity Many See a Change in Weather Patterns
By GARY LANGER ABC News
March 26, 2006 - The intensity of public concern about global warming has spiked sharply over the last decade, along with a change in personal experience: Half of Americans say weather patterns have grown more unstable and temperatures have risen where they live, and 70 percent think weather patterns globally have become more unsettled in recent years.
A vast majority, 85 percent, believes global warming probably is occurring, up slightly from 80 percent in a 1998 poll. But fewer than four in 10 are very sure of it, a level of uncertainty that reflects broad and continued belief that scientists themselves disagree on whether or not it's happening.
Many people can't see the effects of the corporate-fascist media's proposed solutions are killing millions of poor people worldwide, and if you don't like the "genocide" in Iraq then it's absolutely bonkers to agree to the "global warming genocide" worldwide. Even if can justify killing them in some warped way because you think it preserves our lifestyles, understand that the same process of stealing wealth and repression applied to them will be applied to us under global agreements - it's in the agreements.
Many liberals and environmentalists have their hearts in the right place, and it's good to have people concerned about keeping the planet clean and safe. However, many have to learn that their leaders can bought and paid for and trotted-out to lie too, and that Global Warming is the biggest and worst lie of all, tugging at our heartstrings and love of planet earth to help us destroy it even more than we have. It's sad but true, and we have to understand that if we're serious about Saving The Earth we shouldn't adopt the solutions suggested by the media owned by the corporations who've been destroying it.
Many measures we hear about and discuss are aimed squarely at people without cutting into corporate profits, and all the solutions except for "pollution credits" allowing governments and corporations to continue polluting to save our economies are focused on people "sacrificing" to save the planet. We're being trained to bitch at each other about the nobility of "paying more and using less to make a difference" instead of actually saving the planet from the corporations destroying it, and if this keeps up we'll just fight with each other instead of saving the environment.
Many people don't realize we are unwittingly increasing corporate profits and power with more acceptably expensive products, higher tax revenues, and increased poverty increasing their privatized prison-labor work-forces who get 1/10th of minimum wage while working like slaves, to say nothing of army recruitment, which adds military muscle to the economic globalization mafia. This will only empower them to destroy the planet at an even greater pace for even greater profits, and this is what supporting the "global warming" hype will engineer.
Many qualified and "real" climate scientists vigorously dispute it with serious science, like current CO2 levels being roughly equal with early 1900's pre-industrial levels, CO2 actually being good for plants, florists pumping 3x as much CO2 as is currently in our atmosphere into greenhouses to stimulate plant growth, and CO2 being a very small part of greenhouse gases as a whole. Most CO2 emissions come from creatures exhaling, and most of it comes from the creatures in the ocean. Plants absorb CO2 and produce oxygen, so higher CO2 emissions
Many people don't know that humans have nothing to do with 94% of it even according to the incredibly politicized UN IPCC study, which stretched the numbers to come up with the figure of even 6% of "CO2 caused global warming" caused by human activity. Oddly enough that number is not mentioned in most news stories and propaganda (same thing), but that's probably because it proves it's crap. Even the cuddly polar bear mascot stuff is crap, and polar bear populations are actually increasing due to warm weather spurring the growth of nature in cold climates, giving them more plants to eat and making punching holes in the softer ice to grab fish a hell of a lot easier. Don't listen to the GreenPeaceUSA.org commercial either: they can swim. This temporary warming is caused by natural changes in the earth's atmosphere caused by the sun, solar rays and other factors, and it can all be explained away so we finally focus on serious environmental issues.
Many of TV's self-righteous demagogues are being exposed as well. Democratic Presidential candidate John Edwards even said "Global Warming will make World War Three look like heaven", which might be a genocidal pun on behalf of his Bilderberg Group (he attended in 2006) benefactors indicating they'll get us one way or the other. When the evil corporate-fascist elite media who've been selling us the "War on Terror" are now selling us this "Global Waming" nightmare, and when they're doing it like this, with traditional vile and mindless hyperbole that tugs at the conscience of hating the right people, you can't just sit on the fence, you have to be a responsible and intelligent human being and expose the lie and the why...

As Predicted: Global Warming Skeptics Linked With Holocaust Denial

In an article we published in November about global warming being caused by the sun, we commented somewhat tongue in cheek that people who express doubts about global warming would soon be compared to holocaust deniers by the media and other self-appointed cultural kingpins who demand total adherence to orthodox religion style beliefs about climate change...
...It's not longer a joke.
The Boston Globe's Ellen Goodman today writes an op-ed denouncing anyone who dares dissent against the God-like authoratitive status of the UN report on climate change (the same UN that will reap billions in taxes that wouldn't even solve the problem if it existed in the first place).

Global Warming isn't supposed to be taught, it's supposed to be preached, and the expectation is that you're trying to convert instead of convince someone.
People aren't taught to recite interesting facts and anecdotes, they're taught to hysterically fear for the destruction of the world and demand obedience to the only action they see being taken from any potential heretics who threaten their safety. It's just like "The Rapture" for "The Left", and the idea that we should "believe" in "global warming" and call anyone who doesn't a "denier" is the stupidest thing in the world. It makes a lot more sense when it comes to "God" as a concept anway, so maybe call it "The Global Warming Rapture" and give it the apocalyptic edge needed to justify hysterical obedience to the mass media over listening to smart people.
And when did "smart" become "smart enough not to listen to smart people" anyway? Ridiculous.
Either science has determined it's a problem or it's not, and if there's no scientific consensus then we should move on to real problems plaguing the planet. Millions of tons of depleted uranium dust are going to shower the world and cause billions to die from cancer in a week or so, for example, and you can't act like the Bush acolytes who still believe he's a co-equal branch of The Messiah in "Jesus Camp" after credible evidence has surfaced that he's not.
In other words: let it go, and help other people avoid spreading the lies.
It's just like the alleged Iraqi' WMD's after Ambassador Joe Wilson's article in the New York Times, and you can say "They might still have them!", but you're going to cause a lot more harm than good by doing so. The Global Warming Prophets are getting us to repeat propaganda without knowing it's purpose, which is in truth to push for political solutons designed to screw all of us.
Recognize that the same people fooling millions of people you laugh at are also fooling you into accepting global taxing hand-cuffs already killing millions of people in the Third World, and if you don't want to help kill millions of people you'll let it go. You don't want the "Righteous Yuppies vs. Starving Africans" battle, it's meant to ignorantly weaken, corrupt and confuse us while enriching a handful of bajillionaires. Much like the Third World in a global economic structure, rising prices will hammer the poor and middle-class first while increasing crime rates, and all of us will feel pressured to accept it to "Save The Planet" as if this crap will do it.
Our governments and corporations might buy a few pollution credits and keep polluting just like before, but prices will go up anyway which increases their prisons, profits and control, and by then we'll be used to yelling paranoid propaganda at each other to justify them because somehow it will held "Save The Earth" or some crap. (Ridiculous.)
The hype around the mysterious "global warming" phenomenon that will cause every foreseeable weather tragedy is ridiculous, and they're just going to blame stuff on it, including sacrificing tons of people just like they did in Katrina. Privately owned central banks internationally are creating enough capital and inflation out of nothing to bribe the world into going along with this and everything else, including the many nouveau super-rich helping push oppressive policies in exchange for their wealth.
This force socially re-engineering the planet is moving in unison for a reason:
The global capitalist criminal mafia elite are going for police-state and genocidal broke with the biggest lies we've ever seen, we're all under attack, and we've got to fight back with everything we've got...

In India, which has the highest number of billionaires (36) in Asia with total wealth of $191 billion, Prime Minister Singh declared that the greatest single threat to 'India's security' were the Maoist-led guerrilla armies and mass movements in the poorest parts of the country. In China, with 20 billionaires with $29.4 billion net worth, the new rulers, confronting nearly a hundred thousand reported riots and protests, have increased the number of armed special anti-riot militia a hundred fold, and increased spending for the rural poor by $10 billion in the hopes of lessening the monstrous class inequalities and heading off a mass upheaval.
The total wealth of this global ruling class grew 35 per cent year to year topping $3.5 trillion, while income levels for the lower 55 per cent of the world's 6-billion-strong population declined or stagnated. Put another way, one hundred millionth of the world's population (1/100,000,000) owns more than over 3 billion people. Over half of the current billionaires (523) came from just 3 countries: the US (415), Germany (55) and Russia (53). The 35 per cent increase in wealth mostly came from speculation on equity markets, real estate and commodity trading, rather than from technical innovations, investments in job-creating industries or social services.

WEBSTER TARPLEY: April 6 Sneak Attack By US Forces On Iran Planned - Russian Military Sources Warn
heya folks,
we've got 2 weeks to prevent world war three, the russians don't want to fight it but are gearing up to, and i trust webster tarpley based on his internationally acclaimed 30+ years studying of terrorism, economics, politics and oligarchy.
he solved the murder-mystery of italy's prime minister for their parliament, he wrote the only critical bio of bush sr. in 1992 and it's still in print today, his new "9/11 Synthetic Terror: Made in U.S.A." is now in it's 4th edition after having the "strongest approach to truth" that robert steele, amazon.com's top non-fiction book reviewer and former top U.S. intelligence agent has ever seen, and he's a summa cum laude rogue academic badass with the best solutions for saving the world.
zbigniew brzezinski just wrote a great op-ed in the washington post saying the "war on terror" is the deliberately faked hypnotizing of america too, it echoes comments he just made in the french daily le monde.
i've included both links and articles here, plus the latest canuck ensnared by der new yankee customs...

Terrorized by 'War on Terror' How a Three-Word Mantra Has Undermined America
p.s. when using the mass-media's language to describe the "war on terror" we lull ourselves into sleep by normalizing all this, including fooling ourselves into thinking the u.s. warships are piling up in the gulf for no reason. we don't have to be hysterical, but appropriately concerned and accurate would be ideal, and that's a radical departure from simply echoing mainstream criticism and information.
things like "sectarian violence" make staying reasonable to most people regardless of what some know. we're ignoring the fact that our military and intelligence forces are behind it, and running the iraqi and afghani PICS (prisoner interrogation centers) just like the ones in Operation Phoenix in vietnam that killed and tortured 20,000 vietnamese according to the Church Committee hearings in 1975. the fact that this already happened should make us watchful for it happening now, and we have proof too...

the pentagon drew up nuclear-strike plans under protest according to seymour hersh (new yorker), but once they were done they were the ones chosen by dick cheney - under even more protest. however, the necessary generals have been silenced, demoted or fired, and things are proceeding. everybody knows once WW3 starts it will be hellishly hard to stop, but that's the point since everybody can remember the neo-con PNAC plan calls for endless war against everybody...
Operation Bite - April 6 Sneak Attack By US Forces On Iran Planned - Russian Military Sources Warn
General Ivashov Calls For Emergency Session Of UN Security Council To Ward Off Looming US Aggression
By Webster G. Tarpley 3-25-7
WASHINGTON DC -- The long awaited US military attack on Iran is now on track for the first week of April, specifically for 4 AM on April 6, the Good Friday opening of Easter weekend, writes the well-known Russian journalist Andrei Uglanov in the Moscow weekly "Argumenty Nedeli." Uglanov cites Russian military experts close to the Russian General Staff for his account.
The attack is slated to last for twelve hours, according to Uglanov, lasting from 4 AM until 4 PM local time. Friday is a holiday in Iran. In the course of the attack, code named Operation Bite, about 20 targets are marked for bombing; the list includes uranium enrichment facilities, research centers, and laboratories.
The first reactor at the Bushehr nuclear plant, where Russian engineers are working, is supposed to be spared from destruction. The US attack plan reportedly calls for the Iranian air defense system to be degraded, for numerous Iranian warships to be sunk in the Persian Gulf, and the for the most important headquarters of the Iranian armed forces to be wiped out.
The attacks will be mounted from a number of bases, including the island of Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean. Diego Garcia is currently home to B-52 bombers equipped with standoff missiles. Also participating in the air strikes will be US naval aviation from aircraft carriers in the Persian Gulf, as well as from those of the Sixth Fleet in the Mediterranean. Additional cruise missiles will be fired from submarines in the Indian Ocean and off the coast of the Arabian peninsula. The goal is allegedly to set back Iran's nuclear program by several years, writes Uglanov, whose article was re-issued by RIA-Novosti in various languages, but apparently not English, several days ago. The story is the top item on numerous Italian and German blogs, but so far appears to have been ignored by US websites.
Observers comment that this dispatch represents a high-level orchestrated leak from the Kremlin, in effect a war warning, which draws on the formidable resources of the Russian intelligence services, and which deserves to be taken with the utmost seriousness by pro-peace forces around the world.
Asked by RIA-Novosti to comment on the Uglanov report, retired Colonel General Leonid Ivashov confirmed its essential features in a March 21 interview: "I have no doubt that there will be an operation, or more precisely a violent action against Iran." Ivashov, who has reportedly served at various times as an informal advisor to Putin, is currently the Vice President of the Moscow Academy for Geopolitical Sciences.
Ivashov attributed decisive importance to the decision of the Democratic leadership of the US House of Representatives to remove language from the just-passed Iraq supplemental military appropriations bill which would have demanded that Bush come to Congress before launching an attack on Iran. Ivashov pointed out that the language was eliminated under pressure from AIPAC, the lobbing group representing the Israeli extreme right, and of Israeli Foreign Minister Tsipi Livni.
"We have drawn the unmistakable conclusion that this operation will take place," said Ivashov. In his opinion, the US planning does not include a land operation: " Most probably there will be no ground attack, but rather massive air attacks with the goal of annihilating Iran's capacity for military resistance, the centers of administration, the key economic assets, and quite possibly the Iranian political leadership, or at least part of it," he continued.
Ivashov noted that it was not to be excluded that the Pentagon would use smaller tactical nuclear weapons against targets of the Iranian nuclear industry. These attacks could paralyze everyday life, create panic in the population, and generally produce an atmosphere of chaos and uncertainty all over Iran, Ivashov told RIA-Novosti. "This will unleash a struggle for power inside Iran, and then there will be a peace delegation sent in to install a pro-American government in Teheran," Ivashov continued. One of the US goals was, in his estimation, to burnish the image of the current Republican administration, who would now be able to boast that they had wiped out the Iranian nuclear program.
Among the other outcomes, General Ivashov pointed to a partition of Iran along the same lines as Iraq, and a subsequent carving up of the Near and Middle East into smaller regions. "This concept worked well for them in the Balkans and will now be applied to the greater Middle East," he commented.
"Moscow must expert Russia's influence by demanding an emergency session of the United Nations Security Council to deal with the current preparations for an illegal use of force against Iran and the destruction of the basis of the United Nations Charter," said General Ivashov. "In this context Russia could cooperate with China, France and the non-permanent members of the Security Council. We need this kind of preventive action to ward off the use of force," he concluded.

Zbigniew Brzezinski Washington Post Sunday, March 25, 2007
The "war on terror" has created a culture of fear in America. The Bush administration's elevation of these three words into a national mantra since the horrific events of 9/11 has had a pernicious impact on American democracy, on America's psyche and on U.S. standing in the world. Using this phrase has actually undermined our ability to effectively confront the real challenges we face from fanatics who may use terrorism against us.
The damage these three words have done -- a classic self-inflicted wound -- is infinitely greater than any wild dreams entertained by the fanatical perpetrators of the 9/11 attacks when they were plotting against us in distant Afghan caves. The phrase itself is meaningless. It defines neither a geographic context nor our presumed enemies. Terrorism is not an enemy but a technique of warfare -- political intimidation through the killing of unarmed non-combatants.
But the little secret here may be that the vagueness of the phrase was deliberately (or instinctively) calculated by its sponsors. Constant reference to a "war on terror" did accomplish one major objective: It stimulated the emergence of a culture of fear. Fear obscures reason, intensifies emotions and makes it easier for demagogic politicians to mobilize the public on behalf of the policies they want to pursue. The war of choice in Iraq could never have gained the congressional support it got without the psychological linkage between the shock of 9/11 and the postulated existence of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction. Support for President Bush in the 2004 elections was also mobilized in part by the notion that "a nation at war" does not change its commander in chief in midstream. The sense of a pervasive but otherwise imprecise danger was thus channeled in a politically expedient direction by the mobilizing appeal of being "at war."
To justify the "war on terror," the administration has lately crafted a false historical narrative that could even become a self-fulfilling prophecy. By claiming that its war is similar to earlier U.S. struggles against Nazism and then Stalinism (while ignoring the fact that both Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia were first-rate military powers, a status al-Qaeda neither has nor can achieve), the administration could be preparing the case for war with Iran. Such war would then plunge America into a protracted conflict spanning Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan and perhaps also Pakistan.
The culture of fear is like a genie that has been let out of its bottle. It acquires a life of its own -- and can become demoralizing. America today is not the self-confident and determined nation that responded to Pearl Harbor; nor is it the America that heard from its leader, at another moment of crisis, the powerful words "the only thing we have to fear is fear itself"; nor is it the calm America that waged the Cold War with quiet persistence despite the knowledge that a real war could be initiated abruptly within minutes and prompt the death of 100 million Americans within just a few hours. We are now divided, uncertain and potentially very susceptible to panic in the event of another terrorist act in the United States itself.
That is the result of five years of almost continuous national brainwashing on the subject of terror, quite unlike the more muted reactions of several other nations (Britain, Spain, Italy, Germany, Japan, to mention just a few) that also have suffered painful terrorist acts. In his latest justification for his war in Iraq, President Bush even claims absurdly that he has to continue waging it lest al-Qaeda cross the Atlantic to launch a war of terror here in the United States.
Such fear-mongering, reinforced by security entrepreneurs, the mass media and the entertainment industry, generates its own momentum. The terror entrepreneurs, usually described as experts on terrorism, are necessarily engaged in competition to justify their existence. Hence their task is to convince the public that it faces new threats. That puts a premium on the presentation of credible scenarios of ever-more-horrifying acts of violence, sometimes even with blueprints for their implementation.
That America has become insecure and more paranoid is hardly debatable. A recent study reported that in 2003, Congress identified 160 sites as potentially important national targets for would-be terrorists. With lobbyists weighing in, by the end of that year the list had grown to 1,849; by the end of 2004, to 28,360; by 2005, to 77,769. The national database of possible targets now has some 300,000 items in it, including the Sears Tower in Chicago and an Illinois Apple and Pork Festival.
Just last week, here in Washington, on my way to visit a journalistic office, I had to pass through one of the absurd "security checks" that have proliferated in almost all the privately owned office buildings in this capital -- and in New York City. A uniformed guard required me to fill out a form, show an I.D. and in this case explain in writing the purpose of my visit. Would a visiting terrorist indicate in writing that the purpose is "to blow up the building"? Would the guard be able to arrest such a self-confessing, would-be suicide bomber? To make matters more absurd, large department stores, with their crowds of shoppers, do not have any comparable procedures. Nor do concert halls or movie theaters. Yet such "security" procedures have become routine, wasting hundreds of millions of dollars and further contributing to a siege mentality.
Government at every level has stimulated the paranoia. Consider, for example, the electronic billboards over interstate highways urging motorists to "Report Suspicious Activity" (drivers in turbans?). Some mass media have made their own contribution. The cable channels and some print media have found that horror scenarios attract audiences, while terror "experts" as "consultants" provide authenticity for the apocalyptic visions fed to the American public. Hence the proliferation of programs with bearded "terrorists" as the central villains. Their general effect is to reinforce the sense of the unknown but lurking danger that is said to increasingly threaten the lives of all Americans.
The entertainment industry has also jumped into the act. Hence the TV serials and films in which the evil characters have recognizable Arab features, sometimes highlighted by religious gestures, that exploit public anxiety and stimulate Islamophobia. Arab facial stereotypes, particularly in newspaper cartoons, have at times been rendered in a manner sadly reminiscent of the Nazi anti-Semitic campaigns. Lately, even some college student organizations have become involved in such propagation, apparently oblivious to the menacing connection between the stimulation of racial and religious hatreds and the unleashing of the unprecedented crimes of the Holocaust.
The atmosphere generated by the "war on terror" has encouraged legal and political harassment of Arab Americans (generally loyal Americans) for conduct that has not been unique to them. A case in point is the reported harassment of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) for its attempts to emulate, not very successfully, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC). Some House Republicans recently described CAIR members as "terrorist apologists" who should not be allowed to use a Capitol meeting room for a panel discussion.
Social discrimination, for example toward Muslim air travelers, has also been its unintended byproduct. Not surprisingly, animus toward the United States even among Muslims otherwise not particularly concerned with the Middle East has intensified, while America's reputation as a leader in fostering constructive interracial and interreligious relations has suffered egregiously.
The record is even more troubling in the general area of civil rights. The culture of fear has bred intolerance, suspicion of foreigners and the adoption of legal procedures that undermine fundamental notions of justice. Innocent until proven guilty has been diluted if not undone, with some -- even U.S. citizens -- incarcerated for lengthy periods of time without effective and prompt access to due process. There is no known, hard evidence that such excess has prevented significant acts of terrorism, and convictions for would-be terrorists of any kind have been few and far between. Someday Americans will be as ashamed of this record as they now have become of the earlier instances in U.S. history of panic by the many prompting intolerance against the few.
In the meantime, the "war on terror" has gravely damaged the United States internationally. For Muslims, the similarity between the rough treatment of Iraqi civilians by the U.S. military and of the Palestinians by the Israelis has prompted a widespread sense of hostility toward the United States in general. It's not the "war on terror" that angers Muslims watching the news on television, it's the victimization of Arab civilians. And the resentment is not limited to Muslims. A recent BBC poll of 28,000 people in 27 countries that sought respondents' assessments of the role of states in international affairs resulted in Israel, Iran and the United States being rated (in that order) as the states with "the most negative influence on the world." Alas, for some that is the new axis of evil!
The events of 9/11 could have resulted in a truly global solidarity against extremism and terrorism. A global alliance of moderates, including Muslim ones, engaged in a deliberate campaign both to extirpate the specific terrorist networks and to terminate the political conflicts that spawn terrorism would have been more productive than a demagogically proclaimed and largely solitary U.S. "war on terror" against "Islamo-fascism." Only a confidently determined and reasonable America can promote genuine international security which then leaves no political space for terrorism.
Where is the U.S. leader ready to say, "Enough of this hysteria, stop this paranoia"? Even in the face of future terrorist attacks, the likelihood of which cannot be denied, let us show some sense. Let us be true to our traditions.
Zbigniew Brzezinski, national security adviser to President Jimmy Carter, is the author most recently of "Second Chance: Three Presidents and the Crisis of American Superpower" (Basic Books).
