 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

!!! ALL NEW T-SHIRTS !!! 12-JUL-2008
THURSDAY: 8 IRAQIS KILLED, 17 WOUNDEDAs Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan visited Iraq today, two Turkish citizens were killed inside the neighboring country. At least eight Iraqis were killed and another 17 were wounded in other incidents across the country. No Coalition deaths were reported, but one American soldier was wounded in Mosul. FRIDAY: 2 US SOLDIERS, 10 IRAQIS KILLED; 9 IRAQIS WOUNDEDThe bodies of two American soldiers, who had been missing for over a year, were found south of Baghdad. At least 10 Iraqis were killed and another nine were wounded in other incidents on a relatively quiet prayer day. Meanwhile, a Sadrist Imam and 25 worshippers were arrested for speaking out against the government at a mosque in Diwaniya. Also, a U.S. army source reported that almost 21,000 Iraqis, including a few women and many juveniles, are being held in their jails in Iraq. RON PAUL TALKING SENSE ABOUT IRANEXPRESSING OUTRAGE OF FISACowed by the Bush administration's pre-election scare tactics, the Senate passed privacy-stealing FISA legislation undermining your Fourth Amendment rights. KUCINICH IMPEACHMENT RESOLUTIONSpeaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said this morning that the House Judiciary Committee may hold hearings on an impeachment resolution offered by Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio). IRAN’S “PROVOCATIVE MISSILE TEST”As provocation, I would have thought that a much better example was the approval recently given by the US Congress for a USD 400 million package for clandestine operations against Iran. More an act of war, really. POLICE STATE USA: SPYING AS LAW OF THE LANDOn July 9, 2008, the US Congress overwhelmingly passed legislation permitting government spying, including immunity to telecommunications companies involved in secret domestic surveillance programs. With the stroke of George W. Bush’s pen, the US is now a police state by definition. JUDGE ORDERS STUN GUN REFERENCES REMOVED FROM AUTOPSIESAKRON, Ohio - A medical examiner must change her autopsy findings to delete any reference that stun guns contributed to the deaths of three people involved in confrontations with law enforcement officers, a judge ruled. BOOZ, ALLEN & HAMILTON, THE ARMY’S ACCOMPLICE IN SOUTHEAST COLORADOBooz Allen contracted with the Army for $500,000 to maneuver the ranchers out of their property rights. Skillful facilitators (provocateurs), despite their friendly demeanor, very likely use an advanced version of the deceptive Delphi Method, mind-games developed by the U.S. Air Force’s RAND Project, financed by the Ford Foundation. DIVIDE AND CONQUER: THE ANGLO-AMERICAN IMPERIAL PROJECTMany would be skeptical that the Anglo-Americans would be behind terrorist acts in Iraq, such as with the British in Basra, when two British SAS soldiers were caught dressed as Arabs, with explosives and massive arsenal of weapons. WORLD BANK SECRET REPORT CONFIRMS BIOFUEL CAUSE OF WORLD FOOD CRISISA secret study by the World Bank, which reportedly has not been made public on pressure from the Bush Administration, concludes that bio-fuel cultivation in especially the USA and EU are directly responsible for the current explosion in grain and food prices worldwide. NUMEROUS BUSH ADMINISTRATION OFFICIALS COMMITTED CRIMES INVOLVING THE TORTURE OF PRISONERS CAPTURED IN THE MIDDLE EASTAt least a score of high Bush Administration officials authorized, and hundreds of U.S. military and other government employees committed, crimes involving the torture of prisoners captured in the Middle East, published reports and legal documents indicate. INDYMAC BANK SEIZED BY FEDERAL REGULATORSThe federal government took control of Pasadena-based IndyMac Bank on Friday in what regulators called the second-largest bank failure in U.S. history. FEDERAL JUDGE RULING: GEORGE W. BUSH IS A FELONThe ruling stems from the case of Al-Harmain Islamic Foundation Inc. v Bush, a case which will now be remembered as making it official that Bush's program of 'warrantless spying' is illegal. IRAN'S PHOTOSHOPPED MISSILES ARE "GLORIFIED SCUDS"The events of the last two days surrounding the Iranian missile tests once again highlight that the perception of any threat Iran poses to the U.S. and even to Israel is wholly manufactured and has been blown out of all proportion by the Western media and, by proxy, the two presidential candidates. WTC7 EXPLOSIONS BARRY JENNINGSUS 'KILLED 47 AFGHAN CIVILIANS'A US air strike in eastern Afghanistan on Sunday killed 47 civilians, 39 of them women and children, an Afghan government investigating team says. FCC CHIEF SAYS COMCAST VIOLATED INTERNET RULESWASHINGTON - The head of the Federal Communications Commission said Thursday he will recommend that the nation's largest cable company be punished for violating agency principles that guarantee customers open access to the Internet. RED CROSS REPORT OF C.I.A. TORTURE OF QAEDA CAPTIVESWASHINGTON — Red Cross investigators concluded last year in a secret report that the Central Intelligence Agency’s interrogation methods for high-level Qaeda prisoners constituted torture and could make the Bush administration officials who approved them guilty of war crimes, according to a new book on counterterrorism efforts since 2001. WTC 7 EMERGENCY HEAD WAS BUILDING COLLAPSE SPECIALISTThe former New York City chief emergency manager Jerome Hauer, whose office was on the 23d floor of WTC 7, was also a building collapse specialist, according to a recently uncovered New York Times article. Hauer has attracted suspicion from the 9/11 truth movement because of his zeal to push the official story in the hours after the attack when details were still sketchy. PRESS DIRECTOR AT ARLINGTON REFUSED TO CONCEAL IRAQ WAR FUNERALSWhen Gina Gray took over as the public affairs director at Arlington National Cemetery about three months ago, she discovered that cemetery officials were attempting to impose new limits on media coverage of funerals of the Iraq war dead -- even after the fallen warriors' families granted permission for the coverage. 10 MCCAIN GAFFES FROM THIS WEEKThis is the week that should have effectively ended John McCain's efforts to become the next president of the United States. FISA BILL'S REAL TARGET: WHAT REMAINS OF OUR OPEN SOCIETYhe new FISA law uses terrorism as a pretext to permit wholesale spying and would seriously cripple our free press. ISRAEL BARS UN HUMAN RIGHTS WATCHDOG FROM OCCUPIED TERRITORIESFalk, professor emeritus of international law at Princeton, is considered one of the world's most prominent critics of US interventionism. GOVERNMENT SCIENTISTS HIDE VACCINE/AUTISM LINKCINDY SHEEHAN CALLS OBAMA A WARMONGER, PRAISES RON PAULMOST SUNSCREENS FAIL TO PROTECTThe Environmental Working Group (EWG), a Washington-based research group and habitual gadfly to the business world, has found that 4 out of 5 of the nearly 1,000 sunscreen lotions analyzed offer inadequate protection from the sun or contain harmful chemicals. OLBERMANN'S MESSAGE TO OBAMA ON FISA LEGISLATIONSENATE EXAMINES TV EVANGELISTSEvery year some of America's best known TV evangelists bring in hundreds of millions of dollars from donors all over the world. But as Jonathan Beale reports, some of the TV evangelists' own lifestyles have begun to ring alarm bells and prompted a Senate investigation into their activities. THE REAL-LIFE MATRIXLike the fictional Matrix, what Turse calls the "military-corporate complex" is ubiquitous, hidden, and influences our lives in ways that we never notice. AFGHAN WARLORDS, FORMERLY BACKED BY THE CIA, NOW TURN THEIR GUNS ON U.S. TROOPSThey defeated the Soviets with Washington’s help, but now they attack Americans as the new occupiers JULY 17, 2003: DOCUMENTS FROM CHENEY ENERGY TASK FORCE RELEASED; MAPS, CHARTS OF IRAQI OIL FIELDS INCLUDEDThe conservative government watchdog group Judicial Watch releases documents recently turned over by the US Commerce Department through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request. The documents show some of the activities of the secretive energy task force chaired by Vice President Dick Cheney (the National Energy Policy Development Group—see May 16, 2001). Cheney and the White House successfully blocked Congress from learning even the most basic information about the task force’s activities (see January 30, 2002). The Commerce Department documents include maps of Iraqi oil fields and oil infrastructure, and other charts showing Iraqi oil and gas projects, and a document entitled “Foreign Suitors for Iraqi Oilfield Contracts.” Other maps and documents show detailed information about oil fields and infrastructure in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. All of the documents are dated March 2001. MID-FEBRUARY, 2001: EXXON, ENRON EXECUTIVES MEET WITH CHENEY ENERGY TASK FORCEOne of the first officials to meet with Vice President Cheney’s energy task force (the National Energy Policy Development Group—see May 16, 2001) is James Rouse, the vice president of ExxonMobil and a large financial donor to the Bush-Cheney presidential campaign. Several days later, Kenneth Lay, the CEO of Enron, meets with the group. It will not be his last meeting (see April 17, 2001 and After). The names of the various officials, executives, lobbyists, and representatives who meet with the task force will not be released until 2007 (see July 18, 2007). |
