Bush vs. New York Times - |

The Bush administration's jihad against newspapers that reported on a secret program to monitor the personal banking records of unsuspecting citizens is more important than the original story. For what the president and his spokesmen are once again asserting is that the prosecution of this ill-defined, open-ended "war on terror" inevitably trumps basic democratic rights in general and the constitutionally enshrined freedom of the press in particular. |

Was the 2004 Election Stolen? |
By Robert F. Kennedy Jr. |
June, 2006 |
|
...The reports were especially disturbing in Ohio, the critical battleground state that clinched Bush's victory in the electoral college. Officials there purged tens of thousands of eligible voters from the rolls, neglected to process registration cards generated by Democratic voter drives, shortchanged Democratic precincts when they allocated voting machines and illegally derailed a recount that could have given Kerry the presidency. A precinct in an evangelical church in Miami County recorded an impossibly high turnout of ninety-eight percent, while a polling place in inner-city Cleveland recorded an equally impossible turnout of only seven percent. In Warren County, GOP election officials even invented a nonexistent terrorist threat to bar the media from monitoring the official vote count.(11) |

... It is a very big pill...too big a pill... to swallow...that a criminal conspiracy controls the world's most powerful nation and could initiate a nuclear war anytime. In fact that may happen in any case, if the plans of the Bush Administration are implemented. Holland even makes a desperate attempt to end investigation and debate of the issue by writing "..there will be no further serious investigation into the events of 9/11" Really?

...In the opinion of many, the U.S. is governed by a criminal conspiracy that has also become an administration of war criminals, using lies to con their people and congress into supporting an illegal and unjustifiable war on Iraq. Having killed, tortured or imprisoned up to 250,000 Iraqis for no justifiable reason, the Bush Administration has established that it is capable of committing any crime. |

We are now in an America where it's a commonplace for our President, wearing a "jacket with ARMY printed over his heart and 'Commander in Chief' printed on his right front," to address vast assemblages of American troops on the virtues of bringing democracy to foreign lands at the point of a missile. As Jim VandeHei of the Washington Post puts it: "Increasingly, the president uses speeches to troops to praise American ideals and send a signal to other nations the administration is targeting for democratic change." |
Deliberate U.S. Destruction of Iraq |
Comment by Larry Ross |
May 22, 2006 |
|
The so-called "war on terrorism" is actually a war on the Iraq people and the destruction of their country. From the beginning of the war in 2003. the U.S. reasons to justify this war were known to be lies. There were no WMD, no nuclear weapons programme, no links to al-Qaeda and Osama bin laden, and no Iraq plans to attack the U.S. or U.K. From the beginning, the war was the most colossal fraud any American administration has every foisted on their own people. After destroying most of the Iraqi infrastructure, the Bush Administration made a big show about rebuilding Iraq and restoring all facilities including, electricity, sewage, bridges, hospitals, water etc. Many billions of dollars from the U.S. Treasury were made available for this work. In fact it was never effectively done. Most of the money was siphoned off by corruption, no-bid, cost-plus contracts, shoddy and incomplete work and so on. |
Michael Schwartz on Dismantling Iraqi Life |
from Tom Engelhardt |
|
|
After five months of confusion, bickering, dickering, dithering, and strong-arm tactics from Zalmay Khalilzad, our ambassador to Iraq and various high American officials arriving on the fly, Prime Minister-designate Nouri al-Maliki has reportedly chosen his cabinet and a government will evidently be established in Baghdad's Green Zone. At the moment, its reach seems unlikely to extend much beyond the American-protected berms and fortifications of that citadel-mini-state. In the meantime, what governmental authority still existed in Iraq seems to be rapidly on the wane -- and not just in largely Sunni areas of the country either. (In parts of Sunni al-Anbar province, however, according to Mathieu Guidère and Peter Harling of Le Monde Diplomatique, control seems to be passing into other "governing" hands: "A formal procedure is in place for lorry drivers to pay an insurance fee [to insurgent groups] that allows them to cross the governorate, as long as they are not supplying the enemy.") |

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. |

Many Insiders Expose Bushism and 9/11 Conspiracy |
Comment by Larry Ross |
May 9, 2006 |
|
Many insiders believe the 9/11 attack was a U.S. covert action to rally public support for the Iraq war. Now they think a new 9/11 will be staged by the Bush Administration to boost Bush's flagging popularity, help win the November/06 elections for Bush supporters, suppress dissent, and gain public support for a war on Iran - probably using nuclear weapons. The following article shows how real American patriots are putting themselves on the line by exposing the treacheries and crimes of the Bush Administration. This shocking and overwhelming reality should become known by many more people if we are to help prevent terrible catastrophes. |

Result of U.S. War On Iran |
Comment by Larry Ross |
May 3, 2006 |
|
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? |

May 2, 2006 |

Google is a great resource to get the details on U.S. war plans, objectives and methods of making war on other nations. Also, it has many articles on U.S. excuses and justifications for each war. The fact that the Bush Administration engages in an almost continuous flow of lies and false justifications, does not stop the mass media from parroting each and every lie as if it is true. The mass media usually does not publish doubts and exposure of these lies or the real purposes of the Bush Administration. If anything it runs editorials justifying the lies as if the lies are really true. Then it does not print letters exposing these lies. |

April 26, 2006

.....The reasons for wars in which resources are a factor, are usually camouflaged by a screen of propaganda. In the U.S. case it is the blanket phoney justification "war on terrorism" . This covers U.S. global domination plans, the wars in Afghanistan, Iraq and the coming war with Iran, currently justified under the "wars on global terrorism" blanket. The real reasons include the theft of other people's oil resources.. The objective is to control middle east oil, prices and access to oil by competitors of the U.S. Rising oil prices is only the beginning. |

It's official: the era of resource wars is upon us.

Climate change, he indicated, "will make scarce resources, clean water, viable agricultural land even scarcer" -- and this will "make the emergence of violent conflict more rather than less likely." |

Iran War? - Far, Far, Far More Insane Than The Iraq War |
Comment by Larry Ross |
April 21, 2006 |
|
Matthew Yglesia makes a very good case that a U.S.-led war against Iran would be far,far,far more insane than the phoney illegal war against Iraq. However like many commentators, he seems to accept as true a number of lies and assumptions perpetrated by the Bush Administration to justify their war plans. His article seems to assume that Iran is developing it's nuclear technology in order to make nuclear weapons. He neglects to mention that after years of rigorous UN inspections, the IAEA have reported that there is no evidence of a nuclear weapons programme. And the CIA reports that it would be ten years before Iran could produce a nuclear weapon. |

A Path to Peace with Iran |
By Scott Ritter |
April 20, 2006 |
|
It has been more than a week now since the Iranian government announced that it had "joined the nuclear club" by successfully enriching uranium , albeit for nuclear fuel, not a weapon. Once a nation has the capacity to enrich to the former, enrichment to the latter is simply a matter of time; the technology is the same. Iran's declaration immediately made headlines around the world, with stunned punditry engaging in wild speculation about the potential ramifications of this turn of events. From a simple laboratory-scale enrichment experiment, a massive nuclear weapons program grew Pheonix-like from the ashes, prompting dire warnings from US Government officials such as Assistant Secretary of State for International Security and Nonproliferation Stephen Rademaker, who told a press conference in Moscow, where he was visiting to discuss the Iranian nuclear issue with Russian officials, that Iran "...may be capable of making a nuclear bomb within 16 days." |

It is regrettably clear that the American and British governments are preparing for war, this time against Iran. It is equally clear that the American and British people believe neither that their governments should start another war, nor that this particular war would be in their nations' best interests. Moreover, the public hasn't heard any serious debate about the reasons for and against another war, so nothing like a national consensus exists. And it is unclear exactly who is pushing us into this ill-advised war. |

The Whitehouse memo shows Bush

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. |
