BUSH ON THE COUCH: VERDICT OF DR JUSTIN FRANK

Work on George W. Bush's personality and psychological make-up has been carried out remotely by an American psychoanalyst and psychotherapist, Dr Justin A Frank, and presented in his book, published many months prior to the 2004 Presidential Election, â€˜Bush on the Couch: Inside the Mind of the President' *. Dr Frank's careful and candid analysis of the President's mind concludes that he displays and has exerted an innate ability and tendency â€˜to exert his destructive power on the world', that he may turn out to be extremely dangerous, and that he should not be re-elected.

OCCUPATION 101 (2006)

'Occupation 101' presents a comprehensive analysis of the facts and hidden truths surrounding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict; and dispels many of its long-perceived myths and misconceptions. The film also details life under Israeli military rule, the United States' role, and sheds light on the major obstacles which stand in the way of a lasting and viable peace.

Unlike any other film ever produced on the conflict --- 'Occupation 101' explains the situation in a comprehensive manner and gives audiences a complete context in which to better understand the Israeli-Palestinian encounter. The film depicts the root causes of the conflict through Israeli, Jewish, Christian, Muslim, American, and Palestinian voices that are rarely ever heard through mainstream media outlets.

The film covers a wide range of topics -- which include -- the first wave of Jewish immigration from Europe of the 1880's, the 1920 tensions, the 1948 war, the 1967 war, the first Intifada of 1987, the Oslo Peace Process, Settlement expansion, the role of the United States Government, the second Intifada of 2000, and also covers the recent Gaza Disengagement of August 2005.

It doesn't matter that he parrots the words of Republicans when he speaks of "the excesses of the 60s and 70s." None of what he says matters, because speaking up would mean fighting back, and there is no movement left to do that.

BEN FULFORD CONVERSATION WITH JEFF RENSE

Program Interview Of 1-21-8

Benjamin Fulford is a facinating fella. I'm going to quote several parts of his interview with Jeff Rense, but let's have a look at Fulford's background first: -- ZDN

Now focused on exposing U.S. manipulation of Japanese politics, media and education through a combination of bribes, murder, brainwashing etc. My goal is to counter U.S. propaganda and expose the Japanese people to the truth so that they may free themselves from the colonial yoke and use their $5 trillion in overseas holdings to end world poverty and save the environment.

BA Asian studies, China area specialty.

Following are some quotes with Fulford's interview with Jeff: -- ZDN

RENSE: OK, Welcome back. It's time to go to Tokyo this hour to spend a little very interesting conversational time with Benjamin Fulford, who is with us once a month. Ben has become quite a familiar face on this program, so to speak. He has a large following, and people pay close attention to what he says. This is not just on the basis of the fact that he was the Asia-Pacific bureau chief for Forbes Magazine for eight years. His overall worldview and contact with a pan-Asian secret society which, as many of you know, issued ultimatums through Mr. Fulford to the Rothschilds and the Bilderbergers of the planet to cool it, change their tune...or else.

Next quote... -- ZDN

FULFORD: Fine, fine! Yeah, I've been doing a little bit of financial research. Now, I could be wrong, but it seems to be that the United States has gone completely bankrupt.

RENSE: (Laughs) Well, yes, yes. It seems that you're quite right. FULFORD: You've got a GDP of about 13 or 14 trillion...

RENSE: At least!

FULFORD: And as far as I can tell, your debts are 120 trillion.

Next quote... -- ZDN

FULFORD: Now, it's the people of Asia -- the Southeast Asians, the Chinese, people together who are 65 percent of the world's population -- who control the world's money now. And so, they can decide how it's going to be spent. And this is what they have decided to do. So, that's why you see Bush suddenly talking about Martin Luther King; what he did for this crusade, and how they assassinated him, and now they suddenly have an effort to make it up. You have the British chancellor saying, "Oh, maybe we should invite Yueng Biao and Brazil and African delegates into the Security Council. Well, they're running scared! Their whole gig is up, and they're trying to show a nice face. It's kind of too late. I mean, what they did to the Iraqi people... they murdered 1.2 million people in order to steal their oil.

Next quote... -- ZDN

RENSE: Genocide on a scale unprecedented. And as you all know, if you've been listening to this program, or others which care about these things -- THEY, the controllers, the Bilderbergs, the CFR types -- have written about reducing the world population by four fifths. That's 80 percent. And they're going to do it. What they want is a feudal system on this planet with a skeleton middle class to interface between them and the serf class so they don't have to get their hands dirty. That's what they're after.

FULFORD: Well, they're not going to get it. They're lucky they're still alive, as I keep repeating. It's not going to happen. They are criminally insane, and the rest of the world has finally figured this out.

Next quote... -- ZDN

FULFORD: It will mean an end to Japanese slavery and occupation. It will mean an end to the raping and looting of Japan. In other words, it's their money, and they don't want them to use it the way they think it ought to be used. I'm going to ask the Democratic Party of Japan to give me the job, if they win power, of Deputy Finance Minister in charge of Japanese overseas assets. If I get this job, I will have five trillion dollars to play with. And what I'm going to do with that money, or what they're going to do -- I'm hoping, I'm recommending, I believe they're going to do this -- first of all, they're going to make sure that every single human being on the planet has access to a road if they wish it; good information and knowledge about the state of the planet; proper nutrition, and an Internet connection.

It will be a crash campaign on the planet to get everyone on the planet -- every single person -- aware and connected, and fed. Once that's done, we will ask them what their wishes are. Then we'll hire the top brains of the planet, and do everything in our power to make sure those wishes come true. (Voice breaking up -- tears) That's how the Japanese people, I believe, are going to spend their money. (Recovers) And that's a much better way of spending it than on genocide and mass murder. Plus, of course, they will spend it on protecting the environment, so that no more anonymous creatures disappear from the planet forever.

Next quote... -- ZDN

FULFORD: What's happening now is that this may be the biggest historical change in hundreds of years. We're talking about a secret regime that has ruled the planet for 300 years coming to an end. That's what really is going on. It's truly going to be a wonderful thing for the people of humanity, and for the people of America and England! They will be free -- for the first time in a very long time! The newspapers will be filled with real news. They will have more money. There will be no more paranoid propaganda. You people have been trained to be some sort of warrior ants or warrior caste. Fifty percent of Hollywood's budget comes from the Pentagon! You're trained to be fighting machines from a very young age. This is going to end. People will say, "Wow! I don't have to be paranoid anymore. I don't have to be scared. I don't have to think about fighting all the time." This is the sort of change we're talking about.

Next quote... -- ZDN

FULFORD: The fight for Japan is still not over yet. Until the Yakuda (ph) government goes, there are still some elements that are fighting for the US-controlled secret government. That's coming to an end. The policy of the leading opposition party is to bring this up in parliament on national TV aired nationwide. And this guy is going to take over the government within a year. That will mean, of course, that they will be told the truth -- not just about 9/11, but all sorts of historical truths that have been hidden will be made open. The Japanese people will be free from colonial control. That's what's going to happen. Right now, the people at the top level all know what 9/11 was. All the politicians, everybody else, they know it was a faction of the US government murdering their own people to create an excuse to steal oil and kill Iraqis.

ZDN Exclusive -- LEADING TO WAR

How does a government lead its people to war? How does it communicate to its citizens – and to the wider world – the reasons and rationale for initiating military conflict? What rhetorical devices and techniques are employed? And how is a nation brought to support the profound decision to wage war against another nation? These are the questions that LEADING TO WAR seeks to explore.

This 72-minute film shows the evolution of the United States government’s case for military action against Saddam Hussein’s regime, leading to the Iraq War which began in 2003.

LEADING TO WAR is comprised entirely of archival news footage – without commentary, without voiceover – presented chronologically from President Bush’s State of the Union address in January, 2002 (the “axis of evil” speech), and continuing up to the announcement of formal U.S. military action in Iraq on March 19, 2003. Covering these 14 months, the film presents selected interviews, speeches, and press conferences given by President Bush and his administration, including Vice President Dick Cheney, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, Secretary of State Colin Powell, National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice, Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz, as well as by British Prime Minister Tony Blair and others.

This compressed, chronological view offers a unique opportunity to examine the media record from a historical perspective, allowing the material to speak for itself. Footage was licensed from major news sources, including ABC, AP, BBC, CNN, ITN, and NBC.

LEADING TO WAR is also intended as a historical record for future generations, who will not have had firsthand experience of the precise, incremental steps taken by the government in presenting its case for war.

EXXON SUXX. MCCAIN DUXX

They told me that. In 1990 and 1991, I worked for the Chenega and Chugach Natives of Alaska on trying to get Exxon to pay up to save the remote villages of the Sound. Exxon’s response was, “We can hold out in court until you’re all dead.”

Nice guys. But, hell, they were right, weren’t they?

But Exxon didn’t do it alone. They had enablers. One was a failed oil driller named “Dubya.” Exxon was the largest contributor to George W. Bush’s political career after Enron.

HALLIBURTON/STATE DEPARTMENT RAPE STORIES GET WORSE AND WORSE

Her particular story is the worst I've heard and far worse than I had thought before conducting the interview. She was initially harassed sexually in the Green Zone in Baghdad. When she reported on her supervisor to a Halliburton ethics line, they simply told her supervisor.

When she transfered to Basra the environment was intensely worse and the sexual harassment constant. She attempted to report to Halliburton;s human resources office in Kuwait but was caught and brought back.

She was assaulted by a State Department employee who attempted to rape her. She was then denied medical attention and locked up and cut off from outside communication. She was offered sleeping pills to help her anxiety, and then woke up with her supervisor naked on top of her.

MCCAIN: ‘IT DOESN’T MATTER’ IF INDICTED CONGRESSMAN RENZI IS STILL PART OF MY CAMPAIGN

Last Friday, Rep. Rick Renzi (R-AZ), who is a member of Sen. John McCain’s (R-AZ) National Leadership Team and a co-chair of his Arizona Leadership Team, was indicted for extortion, wire fraud, money laundering and other crimes. Asked that day about Renzi’s indictment, McCain said he didn’t “know enough of the details to make a judgment.”

Later, on a conference call with conservative bloggers, McCain said Renzi “would probably step down as co-chair of his Arizona campaign.” Asked in Ohio today, however, McCain said “it doesn’t matter” if Renzi stays on his campaign or not.

STOPPING THE NEW ARMS RACE

The White House will do everything it can to push its reckless, European-based missile defense plan forward. Not only is there growing citizen opposition in the host countries to the proposed ten interceptor missiles in Poland and radar military base in the Czech Republic, but the system fuels a new arms race and militarism that is a far greater threat to our national security than any nuclear missile from Iran it would purportedly defend against.

GOVERNMENT FLU SHOTS: FROM "RECOMMENDED" TO MANDATORY?

The government has taken one step closer to realizing its dream of forcing people to get flu shots. Whereas the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices used to "recommend" that children from 6 months to five years get flu shots, it now recommends that all "children" from ages 6 months to 18 years old get them. In short time, this will become mandatory, as will all other medicinal "recommendations" of the State. The states are already doing this.

NYTIMES EDITORIAL ON THE ALABAMA BLACKOUT OF 60 MINUTES' REPORT ON DON SIEGELMAN

Don Siegelman, who still sits in jail today (even if The BRAD BLOG has proof that Karl Rove, who evidence suggests helped put him there, now wants him "Free"!) The only segment of the show that didn't make it to the AL viewers, when 60 Minutes originally aired Sunday, was the Siegelman segment. The local station then lied about the reasons for the blackout, initially claiming a "transmission problem" from CBS.

DELUSIONAL HOPE: THE OBAMA RAPTURE

Never have so many hoped for so much because of rollicking rhetoric and pulsating platitudes. A tsunami of hope has plunged America into electoral euphoria. In its path is the wreckage of critical thinking about what ails the US and what bold, revolutionary actions are needed. Barry Obama has accomplished semantic alchemy, turning justified but grim distrust and outrage with government and politics into hallelujah hope. But most hope never materializes and is a terrible predictor of reality.

G. EDWARD GRIFFIN DELETED FROM WIKIPEDIA

My biographical listing in Wikipedia was deleted last week after being on line for about five years. The reason is that Wikipedia’s high-level editors claim I am a conspiracy theorist and a promoter of quack cancer cures. Apparently they do not agree with my view that there are hidden agendas in banking and government and they do not favor my defense of natural health without drugs.

It is strange that they have no problem listing Hitler, Stalin, Mao Tse Dong, Al Capone, or even John D. Rockefeller’s father William Avery Rockefeller who, according to Wikipedia: “was a quack doctor and a confidence trickster.” Nevertheless, the editors of Wikipedia find me to be so offensive that I had to be removed from the Internet lest my ideas contaminate the public mind.
