The world is a dangerous place to live, not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it. -- Albert Einstein

ALERT: BUSH REGIME ESCALATES IRAN WAR PREPARATIONS...estimated that half the U.S.'s warships are now poised near Iran, which means an attack could come very quickly with little if any warning. Far too many are either unaware or in denial about this extreme danger, and the capitalist media refuses to report it. People need to call attention to and resist this U.S. escalation, including by joining World Can't Wait. Drive Out the Bush Regime and building anti-war protests scheduled for September 15 and 29. (See worldcantwait.org for details.) The Chart David Petraeus Will Not Show
As you can see, it's a Defense Intelligence Agency chart that shows attacks against Iraqi civilians, Iraqi security forces, and U.S. troops have continued unabated through the surge. Questioning Petraeus' CredibilityIt also notes that in claiming a reduction of violence, the Pentagon, under Petraeus' directive, is ignoring car bombs, routine types of assassinations (shots to the back of the head count, front do not) and ethnic cleansing in Baghdad. IRAQ: THE PEOPLE'S REPORTUnited for Peace and Justice, the country's largest anti-war coalition, has produced an assessment of the situation on the ground in Iraq that contrasts sharply with the projected conclusions of the so-called Petraeus Report actually written within the White House. Iraq by the numbers and lying to CongressSeventy-nine percent of Iraqis oppose the presence of coalition forces in the country, essentially unchanged from last winter including more than eight in 10 Shiites and nearly all Sunni Arabs. (Seven in 10 Kurds, by contrast, still support the presence of these forces.) Similarly, 80 percent of Iraqis disapprove of the way U.S. and other coalition forces have performed in Iraq; the only change has been an increase in negative ratings of the U.S. performance among Kurds. And 86 percent of Iraqis express little or no confidence in U.S. and U.K. forces, similar to last winter and again up among Kurds. Accusations of mistreatment continue: Forty-one percent of Iraqis in this poll (vs. 44 percent in March) report unnecessary violence against Iraqi citizens by U.S. or coalition forces. That peaks at 63 percent among Sunni Arabs, and 66 percent in Sunni-dominated Anbar. This disapproval rises to an endorsement of violence: Fifty-seven percent of Iraqis now call attacks on coalition forces "acceptable," up six points from last winter and more than three times its level (17 percent) in February 2004. Since March, acceptability of such attacks has risen by 15 points among Shiites (from 35 percent to 50 percent), while remaining near-unanimous among Sunnis (93 percent). Kurds, by contrast protected by the United States when Saddam remained in power. continue almost unanimously to call these attacks unacceptable. Acceptability of attacks on U.S. forces also varies by locale, peaking at 100 percent in Anbar, 69 percent in Kirkuk city and 60 percent in Baghdad, compared with 38 percent in Basra and just three percent in the northern Kurdish provinces. It's Classified?In other words, it's not just a matter of getting the numbers from Petraeus and his staff and deciding whether you believe them or not. They won't even tell us what the numbers are -- let alone how they came up with them. Troop Blogs Show Increasing Criticism of War"The truth will come out, and there is nothing they can do to hide it. The occupation is a disaster. I'm convinced that everyday it continues that it makes America, and the Iraqis less safe," he said on his MySpace Blog. He now works for the presidential campaign of Democrat Mike Gravel of Alaska. Thousands of GIs cope with brain damage"I've been in the field for 20-plus years dealing with TBI. I have a very experienced staff. And they're saying to me, 'We're seeing things we've never seen before,'" said Sandy Schneider, director of Vanderbilt University's brain injury rehabilitation program. Where to Protest (Other Than Anywhere You See Hillary Clinton)Capitol Hill Police 'Football Tackled' Hip Hop Activist Rev. Lennox Yearwood at Petreus HearingAfter waiting in line throughout the morning for the hearing that was scheduled to start at 12:30pm, Rev. Yearwood was stopped from entering the room, while others behind him were allowed to enter. He told the officers blocking his ability to enter the room, that he was waiting in line with everyone else and had the right to enter as well. When they threatened him with arrest he responded with "I will not be arrested today." According to witnesses, six capitol police, without warning, "football tackled" him. He was carried off in a wheel chair by DC Fire and Emergency to George Washington Hospital. Why We're Losing the War on TerrorMeanwhile, despite the Bush Administration's boasts, the total number of people it has convicted of engaging in a terrorist act since 9/11 is one (Richard Reid, the shoe bomber). Blair took orders from Bush to until the very endThe withdrawal of British troops from Basra was delayed by five months due to political pressure from the US, a UK military commander in Iraq has said. Investor Confidence Click image for larger version Banks face 10-day debt timebombBritain's biggest banks could be forced to cough up as much as £70bn over the next 10 days, as the credit crisis that has seized the global financial system sparks a fresh wave of chaos. I got a VERY interesting phone call tonight...and I'm freaked out (Canada)About 5:30 I get a phone call from a large polling research company asking if I could spare 7 to 8 minutes of my time to participate in a survey...so what the hell, I say yes... Here's a sampling of some of their survey questions... - how optimistic are you about your family's financial future? - how optimistic are you about your community's financial future? - how confident are you that your bank manages your assets appropriately? - are you planning on making any major financial decisions in the next six months (mortgages, business loans, etc.) - how optimistic are you about the economy over the next six months? - do you have assets in a bank? - are they protected assets? - in the event of the BANK declaring bankruptcy, which of your assets would be protected? - by whom would your assets be protected? - how optimistic are you that the deposit insurers (in this case the Federal Gov't) could adequately protect all of your assets? - which asset classes are protected? - how knowledgeable do you consider yourself to be about the banking industry? - how knowledgeable do you consider yourself to be about the economy? - do you feel confident in being able to personally weather financial difficulties? Mossad Double Agent Is Scriptwriter For Bin Laden TapePearlman's personal history and the highly suspicious nature in which he suddenly professed his conversion to Islam in a single Internet posting and later appeared on the scene as a spokesman for "Al-Qaeda" are all the ingredients needed to draw the conclusion that Pearlman is working as a double agent and most likely for Mossad. 911 NOPLANE lawsuit ACCEPTEDIf Reynolds' complaint had no merit, the court would have it dismissed. They did not. He's asking for a jury trial. The full text of the action is included. My take on it: He's a nut job, however NIST, FEMA and other government organizations and contractors were negligent in their reports and actions and that is a fact. I have a hunch this will be used to squelch all of the relevant issues because of the "no planes" bullshit. We'll see. Peaceful Sydney Anti-Bush, Anti-Iraq Shattered By Police ViolenceProtesters were wrestled to the ground, put in headlocks, had their arms twisted up behind their backs, had knees rammed into their spines and, in a number of assaults by police, were punched in the back and neck with a flurry of hard blows while being held down. Few of those assaulted and beaten displayed any resistance at all. US aid to Israel clears SenateThe US Senate passed its version of the foreign aid bill late Thursday, which includes $2.4 billion for Israel and $1.3 billion for Egypt. The top 10 big stories the US news media missed in the past year1. GOOD-BYE, HABEAS CORPUS Saddam Did 9/11 -- One-Third of Americans Believe the Big LieAn important New York Times/CBS News survey finds that six year after the terror attacks of 9/11, "33 percent of all Americans, including 40 percent of Republicans and 27 percent of Democrats, say Saddam Hussein was personally involved." In reality, of course, Saddam and Iraq had absolutely no connection to the terror attacks. Geraldo Rivera gave the "9/11 Truth" The FingerThat middle finger is a clear sign of what Geraldo Rivera and FoxNews think of all who don't conform to their twisted way of thinking concerning the official cover-up story of 9/11. Leading Surgeon Removes Suspected Alien ImplantsThese objects have been scientifically investigated by some of the most prestigious laboratories in the world, said Dr Leir, a podiatric surgeon of 40 years and author of the best selling book Aliens and the Scalpel. These labs include the Los Alamos National Lab., New Mexico Tech and the University of California in San Diego, he said. Dr Leir said subsequent lab findings have baffled highly qualified scientists because the implants show anomalies in regard to their biological and metallurgical structures. The objects defy earthly scientific explanations and show isotopic ratios not of this world. |
