The Shocking Truth – Nuclear War With Iran The Talk in Cathedral Square, Christchurch
...People with impeccable credentials have written that the so-called terrorist attack on New York and the Pentagon on Sept 9, 2001 was an inside job. Also, that the so-called al-Qaeda terrorists were really pawns in a much bigger conspiracy, organised by the Bush Administration to create a new enemy and justify their global crusade and wars against terrorism.

As the war in Iraq drags on into a fourth brutal year, the same politicians who led the U.S. to war in 2003 are preparing for a new war --this time against the people of Iran.
Once again using the pretext of "weapons of mass destruction," the U.S. is moving the forces into place in preparation for a possible attack. The USS Eisenhower strike force, with some 800 Tomahawk cruise missiles and a fleet of bombers, has moved into the Persian Gulf. A second carrier group, led by the USS Stennis, is now steaming toward the region.  The London Telegraph reported this spring that  "a major American attack on Iran's nuclear sites would kill up to 10,000 people and lead to war in the Middle East."

Robert Koehler's idea of the draft exposing the hypocrisy of Congressmen and Senators is good but does not take into account the circumstances where the draft could be introduced.
For example, a terrorist attack on the US or a 'False Flag' operation faking such a terrorist attack, could set the stage for a general public approval of new draft laws. Congress would have little choice but to pass draft laws. It is very unlikely that the Bush regime would introduce the draft unless a real or invented crisis provided the public motivation required.
Another factor is that important law legislators, such as Congressmen and Senators, are usually rich and influential and have many government contacts.

The New York congressman recently reprised his audacious proposal - first made nearly four years ago, with the United States about to launch Operation Iraqi Quagmire - to reinstate the draft. He reasoned that, if a military action is really necessary, we should, you know, share the sacrifice: get congressmen's' children, presumably even Jenna and Barbara, involved in the action. And if it isn't, we shouldn't go to war.
As a faux-naive device for exposing hypocrisy, Rangel's idea is worthy of Michael Moore, if not Borat. The hemming and hawing of establishment opposition is worth savoring for a news cycle.
The real reason why the draft, so passionately defended by conservatives during the Vietnam era, is no longer "necessary" or wanted by the military-industrial-media complex is that the country is far too peace-loving to tolerate it.

This is an excellent statement and action we can use in New Zealand to help Americans stop another unjust, illegal war by the Bush Administration against a non-nuclear state. I hope NZ labour unions, groups and individuals will take advantage of this fine initiative.

The following resolution, opposing U.S. military action and threats against Iran, was passed unanimously by the San Francisco Labor Council.  
This is an important victory for antiwar activists in the labor movement.  Let's keep the momentum going --We encourage you to work to get similar resolutions passed in your unions, Labor Councils, City Councils, churches, schools, student governments, clergy associations, tenant organizations, community groups, etc.  Send us copies of the resolutions you pass--ALL these resolutions will be posted on Stop War on Iran web site. (Send them to resolutions@stopwaroniran.org.) Help build a movement to stop a war on Iran:

Evan Peterson presents a comprehensive case for impeachment of Bush and what is being done to achieve this objective. Bush continues to do a great deal of damage to America and the world and plans to do much more if Americans allow him to continue in office. The problem is that mainstream America is not aware that the problem is so very critical and that Bush must be stopped before he takes the US to a point of no return.
Unfortunately the mass media is still a meek handmaiden to the Bush regime, repeating or covering up all its lies and suppressing facts and discussion about the many frauds and very real crises Bush has unleashed on America.

FINAL NOTE TO THE READER: HOW BADLY DO WE WANT CHANGE IN AMERICA?
It's not about the newly-elected Congress; it's about what WE, THE PEOPLE, WANT! It's not what Harry Reid, Dick Durbin, Nancy Pelosi, Steny Hoyer, and Howard Dean want: it's about what WE, THE ELECTORATE, WANT! Until the voters DEMAND accountability under the rule of law, we should not expect members of Congress to take the lead. If you agree with these essays, please forward them to your friends, relatives and colleagues.

...Hitler's Reichstag fire was a successfully planned 'False Flag' event.  The neoconservative soul of the Bush Administration has shown itself very capable of planning similar 'False Flag' events. Many think they have already demonstrated how they can make history and orchestrate their new deceitful 'truths' to suit, with the phoney  9/11 attack. Their litany of lies to justify their continuing illegal war on Iraq is another good example of their artful Machiavellian deceptions.

...The fact that more is being said about fascism in America indicates that a thorough and ongoing debate is now in order. Yet discussions of this sort will inevitably take us into a virtual minefield, especially given the commonplace perception of fascism as a form of totalitarianism that occurred in the past and can never happen again....

In his latest article, "Anatomy of a Civil War: Iraq's descent into chaos" , Rosen writes, "Shia religious parties such as the Iran-supported Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq (its name a sufficient statement of its intentions), or SCIRI, controlled the country, and Shia militias had become the Iraqi police and the Iraqi army, running their own secret prisons, arresting, torturing, and executing Sunnis in what was clearly a civil war. And the Americans were merely one more militia among the many, watching, occasionally intervening, and in the end only making things worse. Iraqis' hopes for a better future after Saddam had been betrayed."

The American people have been deceived and shanghaied into becoming tools of a criminal conspiracy...
What has happened to our U.S.A. that was a beacon of hope to the world's impoverished, oppressed masses? It could have led in solving the world's real problems and led humanity toward a secure, prosperous, and just world.
Instead it took another road - the road of evil and the blackest fascism and mass murder. The conspiracy has even increased its genocidal preparations with new nuclear doctrines that 'legally' allow it to wage pre-emptive nuclear slaughter of people, not by the thousand as in Iraq , but now by the million in Iran and elsewhere. The compliant mass propaganda media made sure this information, its implications, and criticism of it, was not given to the people.

My Lai , Vietnam , 1968. Haditha , Iraq , 2005. Rumsfeld, Cheney and Bush hate it when anyone mentions these two events — these two war crimes — in the same breath. All the more reason to examine them closely, to see that they have the same basis that they spell out the same lesson.

At Last, A Real Man With The Guts and Sense to Tell The Truth - General Sir Richard Dannatt -
What a breath of fresh air - the tide is turning!! My faith in my fellow countrymen is restored.
But why should it be so sensational to see the obvious and tell the truth?
Will this courageous man now be sacked and replaced by a "yes minister" man for doing his moral duty and exposing the corrupt Bush puppets?
The British media have done such a good job of repeating Bush and Blair lies for so long that even they have convinced themselves of their own propaganda. May be we can get the New Zealand media to open their eyes.   Comment by Anna Allan, October 13, 2006

Army chief called in to explain 'quit Iraq' appeal

TONY BLAIR'S foreign policy was in tatters last night after the head of the Army said that the continued presence of British troops in Iraq was responsible for bloodshed at home and abroad.

"U.K. Making Iraq Worse"

"The presence of the British troops in Iraq is making the situation there worse" the Head of The British Army said.
General Sir Richard Dannall's sensational attack comes only shortly after he took over as Chief of The General Staff.

Armed Forces 'Cowed Into Silence'

Blair's wars have been marked by shameless attempts to stifle voices from the frontline. We have a right to hear them.
The fifth anniversary of the invasion of Afghanistan has been marked by two significant statements from the British government. Tony Blair said that soldiers resent relentlessly sceptical coverage of the struggle: "They get fed up, as does everyone else, when it is all presented in a negative light."

Here is a dire warning from one of the best commentators on US policy, that Bush will nuclear bomb Iran. Read it and draw your own conclusions. If you agree the situation is extremely dangerous, then please forward it as widely as possible.

Why Bush Will Nuke Iran

The neoconservative Bush administration will attack Iran with tactical nuclear weapons, because it is the only way the neocons believe they can rescue their goal of US (and Israeli) hegemony in the Middle East.
The US has lost the war in Iraq and in Afghanistan. Generals in both war theaters are stating their need for more troops. But there are no troops to send.

Neol Gibeson's paper is one of the strongest, best researched and most convincing papers I have read on the U.S. Government 9/11 conspiracy.
There is little doubt that the Bush neo-con regime and their many accomplices will fight hard and use all kinds of tricks and foul play to avoid being exposed and standing trial for their crimes.

9/11 SPECIAL PROSECUTOR NEEDED

We do not want to believe that our own federal government may have conspired and murdered other Americans to justify the Global War on Terror and the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq . Such information destroys our concept of self and our worldview. However, the truth is the truth and it cannot be hidden any longer. Now, some CIA officers are buying legal insurance to cover the cost of their defense should they be indicted by a federal grand jury for their roles in 9/11. They are worried that the results of an internal CIA investigation into some CIA agents' roles in 9/11 may soon become public and the public outcry would immediately lead to their arrest for murder and conspiracy among other charges.

I saw films tonight about the U.S. bombardment, destruction and occupation of a small city in Iraq - Fallujah The suffering victims expressed themselves on film. Their homes had been bombed and shelled by the U.S. - the woman and children wounded and killed. The Americans blocked their exit roads from the city. It was Bush, Neo-conservative Terrorism on a grand scale. It wasn't so a much war, as an 'Only Made In America' slaughter house

War is not a solution for terrorism

THERE IS SOMETHING important to be learned from the recent experience of the United States and Israel in the Middle East: that massive military attacks, inevitably indiscriminate, are not only morally reprehensible, but useless in achieving the stated aims of those who carry them out.
The United States, in three years of war, which began with shock-and-awe bombardment and goes on with day-to-day violence and chaos, has been an utter failure in its claimed objective of bringing democracy and stability to Iraq. The Israeli invasion and bombing of Lebanon has not brought security to Israel; indeed it has increased the number of its enemies, whether in Hezbollah or Hamas or among Arabs who belong to neither of those groups.

We hope against hope, that the truth will come out in time to galvanize people into stopping the Bush Neocon machine before it starts escalating wars that may destroy humanity. 
The following MUJCA magazine is very comprehensive and well worth a browse and a read. It has a mountain of evidence refuting the Bush machine myths, and pointing toward gaps that need exploring or further verification. Welcome to MUJCA

After Lebanon, What's Left?

As the month-long war between Hezbollah and Israel draws to a close—albeit with a high risk that it will reignite, or even worse, spark a new Lebanese civil war—American policymakers who supported Israel's decision to go to war should understand its long-term impact on moderates in Lebanon and in the Arab world.
Ever since 9/11 brought the Middle East to the center of U.S. foreign policy, . . .

I have read MUJCA' articles and believe they are outstanding and very relevant. They add a lot of evidence to what we have been saying for a few years. Finally a significant number of people are joining the dots and coming to the obvious conclusions.

Israeli Propaganda Is Winning

I was shocked to see the degree that Israel's intellectuals accepted the official justification for Israel's exceptionally barbarous wars on Lebanon and Palestine.
As the following article demonstrates, they justify the slaughter and every aspect of the disproportionality of Israel's response to Lebanese seizing of two Israeli soldiers. Nowhere do these intellectuals seem to admit that the war was planned well in advance. The seized solders were only an excuse for Israel to begin one of the most brutal wars in history. Why?

Dedicated to the too few Israeli intellectuals who do dare speak out against this war.
.... For those who imagine Israel's intellectual elite as a sane oasis of rational, moderate, peace-loving liberals, here are a few snapshots of Israel's intellectual cheerleaders on their current patriotic march supporting the devastation of Lebanon.

Top Republican Claims Bushcons Organised 9/11 Attack

Morgan Reynolds joins a growing group of well-known Americans who have exposed the truth that the 9/11 attack was an inside job. The attack's purpose was to persuade Americans that this was a new "Pearl Harbour" attack on the U.S.A. Then the Bush Administration with media cooperation used that attack to fool Americans into supporting a "war on terrorism" and specific wars on Afghanistan, Iraq and in the future, other targets. The object, as indicated in the neocon PNAC papers, was to start up a "long war" in the Middle East - to conquer the territory - and control the world's oil resources.

Last Saturday, former Bush administration official Morgan Reynolds drew an enthusiastic capacity crowd to the Wisconsin Historical Society auditorium. It is probably the first time in Historical Society history that a political talk has drawn a full house on a Saturday afternoon at the beginning of final exams.
Reynolds, the former director of the Criminal Justice Center at the National Center for Policy Analysis, and the ex-top economist for George W. Bush's Labor Department, charged the Bush administration with gross malfeasance, and proposed the prosecution of top administration officials.

While more Americans doubt the 9/11 story every week, evidence abounds that many have a mental block against rational examination of the evidence about 9/11. The possibility that it was an inside job is a non-starter for them. Programmed “cut outs” insure that 9/11 doubts are consigned to the “conspiracy” closet.
Last June I was explaining the fuss over my 9/11 article to a family member who shall remain anonymous and he interrupted and said, “I don't want to talk about it.” Millions join him in that sentiment. By implication they might as well say: “I'd rather cling to the official 9/11 myth” = “If mass murderers run free, I'm fine with that” = “If 9/11 was an inside job, then I'm ruled by monsters and I might have to do something about it, I'd rather watch Paris Hilton.”
Where does this passive attitude come from? Causes are many but American indoctrination has two sides that figure prominently in the explanation:

Because New Zealand is so propagandised by a pro-Bush, pro-U.S. war media, many New Zealanders have little idea of what's really happening in our world.  There are many indications that some M.P.s want relations improved with the U.S. at any price.

WASHINGTON - It was in 1776 that a group of British colonists living along the Atlantic seaboard of North America felt compelled to offer a public justification for their "Declaration of Independence" from their mother country out of "a decent Respect to the Opinions of Mankind".
That justification, a bill of particulars against King George II for a host of offences, including violations of what would come to be called human rights, was designed to rally British and European public opinion behind the colonists' cause.
As the nation marks that occasion exactly 230 years ago Tuesday, a series of surveys from around the world over the past three years makes clear that contemporary "Mankind" believes that the United States no longer accords its opinions the "decent respect" that those who founded the country believe was its due.

He reveals how the U.S. conspired to ensure that the very successful UN inspection and disarmament efforts were torpedoed, so that the U.S. and UK could engage in mass bombing of Iraq's non-existent weapons-of-mass destruction, crippling sanctions that killed thousands of Iraqi children, and eventually, war based on lies. It is a very, very revealing talk that helps one really understand the continuing deceit practiced by the U.S. and UK governments on their own people about Iraq, Iran and middle-east affairs during the preceding decades. He also has many revealing insights and advice to peace activists.  

Transcript and Audio of Scott Ritter on war with Iraq and Iran

"I wish we were here to talk about how good things are happening in the cause of peace, how congress has reversed course and they're bringing our boys and girls home, how the Bush administration has woke up suddenly and said, ‘you know, this concept of global domination through the unilateral application of military force is not sound policy,' and the Democrats woke up for the first time in a long time and said, ‘you know, we facilitated this war in Iraq. We're as much to blame as George W. Bush.' But that's not the case. We live in a time where bad things are happening. .."

The first was enacting a law to make New Zealand a Nuclear Free Zone in 1984.
The NZ-U.S. split and expulsion from ANZUS over our nuclear-free policy has become a  blessing in disguise. This new freedom from domination by a great power, has enabled NZ to refuse a fighting role in America's so-called "anti-terrorist" wars. This is very significant as both of our other major allies - Australia and the UK - are deeply aligned with the U.S. in various military treaties. Because of these commitments, both have committed fighting troops and become complicit, in support of the U.S. war.

Why accusations about an alleged "terrorist incident" may be used to justify a war on Iran, even though Iran had nothing to do with it.  Lies about Iraq's involvement with the 9/11 attack, non-existent WMD, and being a threat to UK and US, were used to justify the US-led war on Iraq.       Your Chance to Fight for the Right to Life

Whatever U.S. Senators do, or don't do, can effect you. For example if the U.S. Senate wishes to stop a war on Iran, or withdraw troops from Iraq, or endorse or reject the president's choice for head of the CIA, it can effect whether the U.S. continues to torture it's imprisoned suspects. U.S. Senators have considerable power if they wish to use it to stop wars, deny or approve funding for the military.

There is a chance for the Central Intelligence Agency to clear its name - to signal a new era by stating clearly that the CIA does not and will not engage in torture.

"Threats To Peace And Disarmament - The Way Forward"

Dahr Jamail's article is real news about the American genocide in Iraq. It may shock and horrify you. You may wonder what Bush and his neocons hope to achieve by their systematic, murder, torture, and imprisonments of  innocent Iraqis. This horrifying mass murder is sold by Bush's, Tony Blair's and John Howard's propaganda machines, including the mass media in the U.S., U.K. and Australia as "bringing democracy to the middle east" and that the only opponents are "terrorists etc" The media will never mention the horrific reality revealed by this fearless, on-the-spot reporter.
Would you like to help stop these outrages? There really is no end to what a seriously concerned person can do.

    "Dear Mr. Dahr, I am wondering why? Americans and coalition forces were supported by pro-Iranian Militias, like the Badr Organization! The support and help of Iraqi Shiites at first helped to somewhat stabilize and maintain the occupation. Death squads trained by the coalition forces are working day and night under cover of the Ministry of Interior, attacking innocent people: both Sunnis and Shiites!!!! In spite of knowing very well who is doing what, we still see no improvement in the security situation. On the contrary, the situation is getting worse.

The mental hospitals have many patients who believe they are in direct contact with God - that God is telling them things and instructing them to take certain actions. When they act out these heavenly delusions and take the action that they think God has instructed them to take, often it involves violence against others. The law then sees these people as a danger to themselves, family and community and has them placed in a hospital for treatment.
When a world leader like George Bush has such delusions, that involve attacking other states without any provocation or excuse, the world is seriously threatened. When the leaders' delusion is physically expressed as invasions of Afghanistan, Iraq and perhaps Iran to come, the delusions are widely believed to be based on facts, and therefore justified.

LONDON (AFP) - US President George W. Bush allegedly said God told him to invade Iraq and Afghanistan , a new BBC documentary will reveal, according to details released here.
Bush made the claim when he met Palestinian leader Mahmud Abbas and then foreign minister Nabil Shaath in June 2003, the ministers told the documentary series to be broadcast in Britain later this month.
The US leader also told them he had been ordered by God to create a Palestinian state, the ministers said Friday.
Shaath, now the Palestinian information minister, said: " President Bush said to all of us: 'I'm driven with a mission from God.

Scott Ritter gives a detailed account of U.S. preparations and plans to strike at Iran before June/05. Obviously this has been postponed for unknown reasons. As Iran will retaliate against U.S. attack, the situation could very easily escalate and involve China and Russia. A sudden global nuclear exchange could result. It's so obvious, why is Europe so compliant and people so passive and silent in the face of global nuclear disaster which would kill and maim billions?

Late last year, in the aftermath of the 2004 Presidential election, I was contacted by someone close to the Bush administration about the situation in Iraq.
There was a growing concern inside the Bush administration, this source said, about the direction the occupation was going.

NEW YORK -- Tens of thousands of protesters marched Saturday through lower Manhattan to demand an immediate withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq, just hours after this month's GI death toll reached 70.
Cindy Sheehan, a vociferous critic of the war whose soldier son died in Iraq, joined in the march, as did actress Susan Sarandon and the Rev. Jesse Jackson.
''End this war, bring the troops home,'' read one sign lifted by marchers on the sunny afternoon, three years after the war began.
Organizers said 300,000 people marched, although a police spokesman declined to give an estimate. There were no reports of arrests.
''We are here today because the war is illegal, immoral and unethical,'' said the Rev. Al Sharpton. ''We must bring the troops home.'' 'They're going to lie to us again'
Organizers said the march was also meant to oppose military action against Iran, which is facing criticism over its nuclear program. The event was organized by the group United for Peace and Justice.

More nuclear weapons and more manufacturing facilities. Combine that with the new nuclear weapons doctrines of pre-emptive nuclear war and using these weapons as an optional part of conventional warfare. There is also the 2002, U.S. Nuclear Posture Review, in which 7 or 8 countries including China and Russia, were named as potential enemies requiring the use of U.S. nuclear weapons. Almost any nation can become a U.S. target, especially oil producing nations like Iraq and Iran.

The Bush administration Wednesday unveiled a blueprint for rebuilding the nation's decrepit nuclear weapons complex, including restoration of a large-scale bomb manufacturing capacity.
The plan calls for the most sweeping realignment and modernization of the nation's massive system of laboratories and factories for nuclear bombs since the end of the Cold War.

"To me it would be a worse crime to stay silent if telling the truth could prevent war."
More than three years ago, as George Bush and Tony Blair rushed headlong into the invasion of Iraq, Martin Bright, then at the Observer, tested the veracity of an e-mail passed to him and his colleagues anonymously, while I nervously waited to see if the contents would appear in a newspaper. The e-mail, which the paper duly published, contained details of a bugging operation designed to coerce wavering members of the UN Security Council to vote for the use of force. It alerted the world to what I saw as scandalous dirty tricks within the United Nations.

If the U.S. was sincere, and not embarked on a global conquest, it would welcome talks with it's chosen enemy with a view to finding a peaceful solution to their disagreements, rather than resort to a major war with many disastrous consequences.
However the evidence is that the U.S. has prepared for war based on false accusations and false justifications. For a number of reasons,I believe that this very costly dangerous choice is preferable to the Bush-con Administration rather than a peaceful resolution.

Iran has prepared a high-level delegation to hold wide-ranging talks with the US, but the Bush administration is resisting the agenda suggested by Tehran despite pressure from European allies to engage the Islamic republic, Iranian politicians have told the Financial Times.

Four New Essays On War With Iran:
Is The USA Bluffing; Is There A Better Alternative; Why Can't We Debate The Reasons For This War Beforehand?

The Whitehouse memo shows Bush and Blair had lots of testimony based on UN inspection that there were no WMD or a nuclear weapons in Iraq. But they decided to make war based on the lie that there were WMD in Iraq, even though that would not be a valid excuse for war in any case. Some of the other lies invented to justify the war were that Saddam had links to al-Qaeda and Osama Bin Laden, and that Saddam was connected to the attack on 9/11, and that Saddam was a threat to the US, UK. None of this was true and Bush and Blair had no evidence for their lies.
Nevertheless both lied to their publics and governments in order to get support for their war.
Now they are planning to do it again to justify a war with Iran.

It's extremely rare, to get this kind of an insight of an extremely private, we should say secret meeting between two leaders preparing for a coming war. Tell us what you think are the main insights to be gained from the so-called White House memo?

Nobel Laureates and other prominent figures petitioned the U.S. Congress not to nuclear bomb Iran "regardless of whether Iran is in any way involved in an attack on the U.S." This plan is very much like the Pentagon's "Operation Northwoods" to blame and then bomb and invade Cuba in 1962, after a faked attack on the U.S. using U.S. covert action.
Petitioners were appalled at the Bush-Pentagon plan, which was justified with their Nuclear Posture Review, Dec 2001, and Doctrine for Joint Nuclear Operations, March 15, 2005 to "use nuclear weapons as a tool in warfare like any other".

In an August 2005 issue of The American Conservative, former CIA officer Philip Girarldi raised the alarm over in-process Pentagon contingency plans drafted in preparation for another terrorist attack in the United States. The response includes a plan for a massive air assault on Iran with the use of both conventional and tactical nuclear weapons regardless of whether Iran is any way involved in such an attack against the U.S.
One month after the publication of Giraldli's warnings, physicists from around the world, including numerous Nobel laureates and prominent figures, signed a petition expressing their dismay at seeing the architects of Bush administration policy embrace the use of nuclear weapons as a tool in warfare like any other. The new US policy to use nuclear weapons against non-nuclear countries has been officially formulated in two US government documents Nuclear Posture Review delivered to Congress in December 2001 and Doctrine for Joint Nuclear Operations dated March 15, 2005.

.....We seem to never learn from our past mistakes. Today’s neo-cons are... idealistically misled and aggressive in remaking the Middle East..... Even given the horrendous costs of the Iraq War and the unintended consequences that plague us today, the neo-cons are eager to expand their regime-change policy to Iran by force.
The obvious shortcomings of our regime change and occupation of Afghanistan are now readily apparent. The Taliban was ousted from power, but they have regrouped and threaten the delicate stability that now exists in that country. Opium drug production is once again a major operation, with drugs lords controlling a huge area of the country outside Kabul.

There are dire consequences to the current direction of the U.S. foreign policy, said Noam Chomsky in a speech Saturday at Binghamton University. Among those consequences, he said, is a nuclear Armageddon.
"Under the current U.S. policies, a nuclear exchange is inevitable," the 77-year-old MIT professor said in his presentation, "Imminent Crises: Paths Toward Solutions." He spoke to an over-capacity crowd in BU's Osterhout Concert Theater.
Chomsky cited nuclear proliferation and environmental collapse as the two greatest crises that "literally threaten survival."

Here is yet more evidence that Bush stole the 2000 and 2004 elections, knew about and was involved in the 9/11 attack that was used as an excuse to justify his illegal Iraq war. He now presides over a growing criminal empire of deception and lies that gets stronger every day. The results of his escalating crimes will be felt years into the future, unless his wars trigger off a holocaust that destroys us all first.
The media has covered up for him, and his crimes, at every turn and does everything it can to divert public attention from the truth about 9/11 and the Iraq war. The Democrats have been too beholden to the military/industrial complex to challenge Bush lies and illegal actions. Most people who participated in these crimes against their fellow Americans are too afraid to talk, deeply and profitably involved themselves, or psychopaths and neocons who believe in what they are doing.

The U.S. has used depleted uranium (D.U.) weapons in 4 wars (see below).
Britain and other members of U.S. military alliances have been complicit in D.U. usage and aware of the low-level radiation effects.
D.U. microscopic particles have been spread by air currents to Europe and Britain. It has a half life of 4,500,000,000 years, so can continue to spread over coming decades and centuries.. It can infect people with a number of fatal diseases as the following articles show, slowly killing or incapacitating many of them. It lasts forever and there is no cure.
Using such weapons is an attack on all humanity and all nations, as the particles will drift around the world forever.

The Quiet Death Of Freedom

Cindy Sheehan is one of the great ladies and leaders of the American Peace movement. Her soldier son was killed in Iraq and this motivated her to research the war and then become a peace campaigner exposing Bush's lies and war crimes.
Fearlessly she camped out at Bush's Texas ranch, then at the Whitehouse, demanding an interview with Bush about why her son was killed, and the illegality of the Iraq war. Naturally Bush snubbed her. If only more Americans had her courage and commitment, Bush would withdraw from Iraq.

... From past experience I believe anyone who expresses a view against the US role in the Iraq war, or expresses questions or doubts about the official story of the 9/11 attack could be spied on.
