[political-research] Zarqawi, 9/11 and the Bogus War on Terror


<http://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/HL0606/S00156.htm>

As reported in 2004 by Jim Miklaszewski of NBC News the U.S. Military presented President Bush three plans to kill or capture Abu Musab Al Zarqawi between June of 2002 and January, 2003 before the invasion of Iraq. In each instance the authorization was not forthcoming. They never pulled the trigger and by March of 2004 over 700 terrorist killings had been blamed on Zarqawi. Investigative reporter, Greg Palast presents the case that it was the U.S. that effectively invited Zarqawi into Iraq in the first place.

[political-research] Bloglines - Triumph of the Swill

Triumph of the Swill

By Mustang Bobby

Andrew Sullivan found a rather interesting e-mail at WorldNet Daily.
"Don't you know that you are aiding the enemy when you speak against President Bush? I will bet you that of all the presidents since 1950, with the exception of President Ronald Reagan, President Bush is by far the best. We and hundreds of thousands of Americans stand by the president. Of course, he is not perfect, but he is a man of God. If you are a born-again Christian, you will support him and pray for him every day. We are called, no, commanded, to pray for our president," - an email to WorldNet Daily. Its title? "Born Again? Then Support The President." It would be hard to find a more candid expression of Christianism.
It makes it pretty hard for there to be compromise and civil discourse when you have attitudes like that.

As the post below suggests, not all evangelicals are goose-steppers, but they're being drowned out by those who are.

I missed this testimony (made during the confirmation hearings) by new CIA Director Michael Hayden:

Senator Levin: "While the intelligence community was consistently dubious about links between Iraq and al Qaeda, Mr. Feith produced an alternative analysis, asserting that there was a strong connection. Were you comfortable with Mr. Feith's office's approach to intelligence analysis?"

General Hayden: "No, sir, I wasn't . . . No, sir, I wasn't comfortable."


Very interesting. So here we have statements by still another well positioned person that Douglas Feith, the Likudnik at the pentagon, conducted suspect research.

Despite the massive evidence, the WSJ has their panties in a bunch over this statement, and others like it by Mr. Hayden. They just keep telling the lies over and over again.

The WSJ claims that Hayden has promised to "retract" this statement, but they are not happy with the statement from Hayden. They shouldn't be because Hayden does not retract the statement at all.

Which should we belive? Well, as Steve Sailer points out here, the original statements by Hayden were made under oath, while the non-retraction retraction was not.

[political-research] Leo Strauss' Philosophy of Deception

"Many neoconservatives like Paul Wolfowitz are disciples of a philosopher who believed that the elite should use deception, religious fervor and perpetual war to control the ignorant masses."

[political-research] cannot defend itself against accusations that a domestic

http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/nation/3963728.html

DETROIT - The Bush Administration argued in U.S. District Court on
Monday that it cannot defend itself against accusations that a domestic
spying program is illegal and unconstitutional because details of the
program would be revealed, rendering it ineffective and jeopardizing
national security.

"The president has decided that the program is necessary to protect and
defend the United States," Anthony Coppolino, a lawyer for the
Department of Justice said in the nation's first court hearing on
theprogram.

"Without evidence that goes to the heart of the matter, the president's
claims cannot be addressed."

The domestic surveillance program � in which the National Security
Agency taps calls between the U.S. and other countries � is being
challenged by lawyers, academicians, journalists, advocates for civil
liberties and Nazih Hassan, a Lebanese immigrant who lives in
Ypsilanti, Mich. They asked U.S. District Judge Anna Diggs Taylor to
order a halt to the spying.

The case is one of a few, and the first in which the government has
made an argument, that could determine how much power the president has
to conduct domestic spying without obtaining prior approval.

Diggs Taylor heard arguments for and against so-called summary judgment
Monday without issuing a decision or saying when she might. Another
hearing in the case is scheduled for July 10.

A lawyer for the plaintiffs argued that the Bush Administration's
position about state secrets is of little relevance.

"The issue in this case is simply whether the National Security
Administration is violating the law and the Constitution in
eavesdropping on the telephone calls of Americans without a warrant,"
said Ann Beeson, a lawyer for the American Civil Liberties Union.

[political-research] On Nazism and Zionism

By the way, the main subject of this article by Paul Craig Roberts was how John Bolton, acting at the behest of Israel and the Israel lobby, is trying to lie Americans into yet another disastrous war, this one against Iran. The Israelis, using the neocons, are in fact trying to push the United States into nuking Iran.

This prospect apparently troubles you not in the least -- instead your emotional buttons are pushed by what you perceive to be a slight against the abominable fascist Leo Strauss. Interesting set of priorities you've got there.

I've noticed an interesting paradox: often when Germans try to distance themselves from their Nazi past by aligning themselves with the worst Zionist excesses, they are in reality yet again venting their worst nature. Zionism can provide a useful cover for expressing Nazi instincts and impulses, and especially racist and statist yearnings. They have simply replaced Jews with Arabs and Muslims as an excuse to go on a mass murder spree.

I am not accusing you of falling into this trap -- generally you've shown an ability to mentally circumnavigate complex issues and see all sides -- but I think some Germans have. A bit more introspection is required on these matters.

Neocons are contemptuous of the American people. Leo Strauss taught
neocons that it was their duty to deceive the clueless American people
in order to implement their agenda of global domination. The neocons
believe that they have a perfect right, even the obligation, to
manipulate the public through propaganda and black ops in order to
create acceptance and support for their wars of aggression.

Amazing how Leo Strauss has been turned into a scapegoat in this

it makes matters not more true if the are repeated over and over

a signal that makes me hesitant about the rest:

Once when I was in graduate school, at a party where there was
probably way too much to drink, a friend of mine?now by coincidence a
prominent attorney in New Haven?was asked if he was a Straussian. "If
you mean by that do I regard everything that Leo Strauss ever wrote as
true," he replied, "then, yes, I am a Straussian." We all laughed
because my friend's answer so perfectly captured and parodied the
common view of Straussianism. The question, am I a Straussian, is
something I have been asked on more than one occasion over the years.
Sometimes the question seems prompted by nothing more than the idle
desire to know what Straussianism means. At other times it has the
vague character of an "are you now or have you ever been . . ." kind
of accusation. In any case the question has caused me to think about
what it is to be a Straussian.

Re: [political-research] Re: Will the White House Moron Bring On Armageddon? - by Paul Craig Roberts

It amazes me that you defend Leo Strauss, who has managed to spawn some of the most vile monsters in the history of American politics. Leo Strauss's anti-democratic ideology and program have been accurately described by numerous reputable scholars and thinkers, like Jim Lobe.

Leo Strauss is so alien to the fundamental values of the American Founding Fathers, like Thomas Jefferson and Thomas Paine, that he might just as well live on another planet. He came out of the same ideological matrix which produced the worst excesses of Communism and Nazism. He is a quintessential authoritarian/totalitarian personality type. Fuck Leo Strauss and the horse he rode in on. Straussians are destroying the country I love.

Paul Craig Roberts, who wrote this essay, is one of the most articulate spokespersons for the core American tradition, and he been one of the bravest opponents of the con artists who tricked Americans into the Iraq War.

Re: [political-research] Re: Begin allegedly involved in bid to kill then German Chancellor Adenauer

Most historians, and certainly most conspiracy researchers, are going to examine this news report and wonder immediately how many high-level political leaders Menachem Begin and his fellow Jabotinskyites/neoconservatives murdered all around the world. Menachem Begin is not just any Israeli -- he became the prime minister of Israel and he was the most powerful leader of neoconservatism for quite a few years. This is much more than a German issue. This is about the political methods of the Israeli government vis-a-vis the entire world.

Political fanatics and ethnic zealots generally do not commit only one assassination -- it becomes a habit. They commit many assassinations. It seems quite likely, for instance, based on the known evidence, that neoconservatives in the Israeli government murdered the "liberal" Yitzhak Rabin, whom they believed was violating the will of God and selling Israel down the river. Israel is the only government in the world currently which openly boasts about its policy of assassinating political opponents as standard operating procedure. (Supposedly they assassinate only "terrorists" -- but as we have seen repeatedly from the demented rhetoric of neoconservatives like Richard Perle and David Horowitz, they consider all political opponents to be "terrorists.")

Do you believe that the Israeli government is justified in assassinating any world leader, or any ordinary citizen, it dislikes? Did John F. Kennedy deserve to get whacked because he opposed David Ben-Gurion's plans to develop Israel's nuclear weapons program?

Alex Jones reports in to Blood/Rense/Noorey from Ottawa
-------------------------------------------------------

http://media.putfile.com/Alex-Jones-Bilderberg-pt1

Bilderberg-bound filmmaker held at airport
------------------------------------------

Laura Payton, Ottawa Citizen Published: Thursday, June 08, 2006

Canadian authorities detained an American activist filmmaker at the
Ottawa airport late Wednesday night, confiscating his passport, camera
equipment and most of his belongings.

Citizenship and Immigration Canada agents stopped Alex Jones, whose films
include Martial Law 9/11: The Rise of the Police State, and questioned
him for nearly four hours before letting him go with only one change of
clothes and telling him to return Thursday morning.

“It’s really chilling, like a police state,” said Mr. Jones of his
detention.

Mr. Jones and his crew, camera operators Ryan Schlickeisen and Aaron
Dykes, travelled to Canada to film a documentary about the Bilderberg
group, a secretive group of former politicians and business leaders who
are meeting in Ottawa this week.

A Citizenship and Immigration representative said that her department was
unable to comment on Mr. Jones’ detention.

“As a result of the privacy act, we are forbidden from discussing
individual cases,” said Marina Wilson, spokesperson for the department.
“I’m not aware of this ... (detention) is at the discretion of our visa
officers.”

Mr. Jones said that he and the agents had reconciled prior to his
release.

“I want to say, on the record, it takes two to tango. I could have
handled it better.”

41-gun salute marks Duke's birthday

Press Association
Saturday June 10, 2006

The Duke of Edinburgh is 85 and is marking his birthday privately at
Windsor Castle.

A 41-gun salute will be fired in Hyde Park by the King's Troop in
Philip's honour.

Public celebrations of the Duke's personal milestone will take place next
week.

On June 15, the Massed Bands of the Royal Marines will perform a Beating
Retreat on London's Horse Guards Parade in honour of Philip and he will
take the salute.

Earlier on the same day, the Duke will join the Queen at a national
service of thanksgiving at St Paul's Cathedral to mark her official 80th
birthday....

....His father was a Prince of Denmark and Philip's grandmother was a
granddaughter of Queen Victoria, making him Elizabeth II's third cousin.

Happy 85th birthday to our Victor Meldrew in gold braid
-------------------------------------------------------

GERALD WARNER

EIGHTY-FIVE years on, this weekend, HRH Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh
is surely as set in his ways as he will ever be, his status in the
national iconography permanently settled. The barometer of public opinion
has registered many changes in the course of the Prince's career; it
seems finally to have set to fair.

Born Philip Schleswig-Holstein- Sonderburg-Glucksburg (the house of
Glucksburg is the oldest dynasty in Europe), the media cliché for his
background is "privileged". Fair enough, if you think being born on the
dining-room table during a time of political upheaval and smuggled out of
your country in a cot knocked up out of an orange box is a silver-spoon
infancy; most of us would settle for a more wooden-spoon introduction to
life.

His parents, Prince Andrew of Greece and Princess Alice of Battenberg,
were refugees, so that his childhood and adolescence were nomadic and
hardy. When the Jewish founder of his school in Germany, Kurt Hahn, fled
from the Nazis and set up a new establishment at Gordonstoun, Philip
followed him there. Between the rigours of the Hahn system and his later
service in the Royal Navy, his lifestyle throughout his formative years
was extremely tough...

...As well as his wildlife work, the Duke of Edinburgh's Award scheme has
been an important factor in helping young people to realise their

VICTORIA, B.C. -- His Royal Highness The Earl of Essex, Prince Edward,
and his wife, Sophie Rhys-Jones, the Countess, are making their final
stop on their 10-day Western Canadian tour in Victoria today.

Over the past week, the youngest child and third son of Queen Elizabeth
II has been touring Alberta and British Columbia.

The main purpose of the Prince’s visit is to present the Duke of
Edinburgh's Awards -- an award program for personal achievement for those
aged 14-25 who live well-rounded lifestyles, regardless of personal
ability.

There are three levels attainable in the Duke of Edinburgh's Awards:
bronze, silver and gold.

The bronze awards are presented by a provincial representative of the
Queen; silver by a federal representative; and the gold awards are
presented by a member of the Royal Family.

The Award program was started by Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, in
1956.

[political-research] Christianism as a Mind Control Device


http://time.blogs.com/daily_dish/2006/06/quote_for_the_d_12.html?promoid=rss_daily_dish

... for the exceptionally feebleminded.

Now: when will Andrew Sullivan begin to address the subject of Jewish fundamentalism with the same intellectual rigor that he dissects Muslim and Christian fundamentalism? Or could it be that Sullivan himself is the victim of brainwashing?

[political-research] Bloglines - War Crimes and BBC's Insane Society


The Cat's Blog
"DID YOU, TOO, O FRIEND, SUPPOSE DEMOCRACY WAS ONLY FOR ELECTIONS, FOR POLITICS, AND FOR A PARTY NAME?" - WALT WHITMAN

War Crimes and BBC's Insane Society

By The Cat's Dream

Dear Craig Oliver, Editor, Ten O'Clock News, BBC1

I read your email to a Media Lens’ poster (Posted by Mr Bombastic on June 12, 2006, 2:47 pm):
The story about rendition flights was an exclusive on Newsnight the previous day. It was covered widely in the national press and on radio on the day. We took the view that there was little more we could add to the story.
I do not agree that there was nothing new in the Rooney story. As we reported it was becoming increasingly clear that he was returning to Germany to play in the latter stages of the World Cup - should England qualify.
Best wishes,
Craig Oliver
Could you please inform your audience on which basis you "took the view that there was little more we could add to the story"?

From Council of Europe Parliamentary Assembly rapporteur Dick Marty’s report “Alleged secret detentions and unlawful inter-state transfers involving Council of Europe member states”:
280. Our analysis of the CIA 'rendition' programme has revealed a network that resembles a 'spider’s web' spun across the globe. The analysis is based on official information provided by national and international air traffic control authorities, as well as on other information including from sources inside intelligence services, in particular the American. This 'web', shown in the graphic239, is composed of several landing points, which we have subdivided into different categories, and which are linked up among themselves by civilian planes used by the CIA or military aircraft. (...)

292. With regards to these extremely serious allegations, it is urgent – that is the principal aim of this report – that all Council of Europe member states concerned finally comply with their positive obligation under the ECHR to investigate. It is also crucial that the proposals in the draft resolution and recommendation are implemented so that terrorism can be fought effectively whilst respecting human rights at the same time.
How can the BBC writes “that there was little more we could add to the story" when the government leading the “Coalition of the Willing”, the “War on Terror” and the “Exporting Democracy Enterprise” is guilty (together with your own government) of massive human rights violation according to the United Nations, the Council of Europe, Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International among others?

When you "took the view that there was little more we could add to the story", had you read the Council of Europe’s report? This is what that reports states just about one point:
1.2. Guantanamo Bay

4. At Guantanamo Bay, on the island of Cuba, several hundred people are being detained without enjoying any of the guarantees provided for in the criminal procedure of a state governed by the rule of law or in the Geneva Conventions on the law of war. These people have been arrested in unknown circumstances, handed over by foreign authorities without any extradition procedure being followed, or illegally abducted in various countries by United States special services. They are considered enemy combatants, according to a new definition introduced by the American administration7.

5. The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) has strongly criticised this state of affairs: on 26 April 2005, with no votes against and just five abstentions, it adopted a resolution (1433/2005) and recommendation (1699/2005) in which it urges the United States Government to put a stop to this situation and to ensure respect for the principles of the rule of law and human rights. It also concludes that the United States has engaged in the unlawful practice of secret detention. In its reply of 17 June 2005 (doc. 10585), the Committee of Ministers expresses its full support to all such efforts and to all efforts to obtain a prompt release or fair trial of persons detained at Guantánamo Bay by an independent and impartial court. It urges the United States Government to ensure that the rights of all detainees are ensured and that the principle of the rule of law is fully respected. For its own part, it expresses the determination of the member states to ensure that the rights of persons released and returned to their jurisdiction are fully respected. The Committee of Ministers has conveyed a message in these terms to the Government of the United States of America8. To our knowledge, no reply has been received to date.

6. The UN Committee against Torture has also called for the closure of the Guantanamo Bay detention facility in recent times, criticising its secret character and the denial of access to the ICRC9.
Your words “We took the view that there was little more we could add to the story” are dated June 10. In those same hours, three people – INNOCENT PEOPLE!!! - were killing themselves in the US concentration camp Guantanamo.

Once again the BBC is actively aiding and abetting in war crimes and crimes against humanity. And now, please, tell us everything about the Rooney story.

You have shown what an INSANE SOCIETY is.

Regards,
Gabriele Zamparini

Re: [political-research] Re: On Michael Massing on the Israel Lobby

The Israel lobby, of which AIPAC is only one of many components worldwide, is a radically different and more sinister lobby than any other lobby in American political life, don't you think? The lobby includes the entire Israeli government, Mossad, the Russian oligarchs, the Russian Mafia, international organized crime, many Forbes billionaires, most of the mainstream media, a bevy of think tanks and research centers, and on and on. The lobby regularly seeks to utterly destroy anyone, especially American politicians and public figures, who opposes it. In the American context, it operates on behalf of a foreign government, which is driven by a messianic ethno-religious ideology. It controls a large cache of nuclear and biological weapons which it has threatened to use against the entire world (the Samson Option). It uses assassinations and false flag terrorist ops to achieve its ends. It was the prime mover behind the Iraq War, and it is the prime mover behind the campaign to ignite World War IV and an apocalyptic clash of civilizations, with an American nuclear attack on Iran being the next item on the deranged agenda.
Which other lobby in American politics is remotely like the Israel lobby? Perhaps the AARP (American Association of Retired Persons)? The AARP is often mentioned in the same breath with AIPAC in discussions about powerful lobbies in American politics. The last I noticed, the AARP wasn't using Mossad-style tactics against American citizens to promote the interests of a foreign government which is essentially a messianic apocalyptic cult, deriving its inspiration from the most violent memes in the Old Testament.
Even the military-industrial complex in the United States, which is without a doubt significantly corrupt, is pursuing objectives on a relatively rational basis which benefit a major sector of the American economy. The Israel lobby is working to drive a wedge between the United States and nearly every other nation in the world, in ways which stand a good chance of destroying the American economy.
If you disagree, then name a lobby in American politics which you believe is similar to the Israel lobby. Who would be the equivalents in this lobby to Michael Ledeen, Richard Perle, David Horowitz, Daniel Pipes and that entire network of hysterical Armageddonists?
The author of the quote you produced really hasn't thought this through.

The crux of the biscuit (Frank Zappa):

Indeed, the exposed inner workings of AIPAC do come across as somewhat sordid and, well, gross: power, money, oligarchy. I'm sure there will be much discussion as to the truth of Massing's claims. But what many of us have been wondering since the very beginning, and which Massing neglects to seriously consider, is whether this is abnormal or simply a feature of the American political system. If you have a problem with AIPAC, take it up with the system, not with a set of ideologically committed Jews, and sincere Americans, who have effectively learned to work within it.

Interesting (to me) gems from the blogosphere or anything else that may strike my fancy.

The Columbine Massacre Unravels [excerpt]

By gethky

Columbine has never made any sense. On a close examination of eyewitnesses, and events, one can easily see that there were at least seven people involved, and maybe a third shooter. Basically, there were 100 bombs found that day, and Klebold and Harris didnt' bring them in alone. And the fact that an eyewitness said he saw two cars, with seven kids, at the school early that morning confirms there

[political-research] Wall Street Doesn't Like This War


http://www.middle-east-online.com/english/?id=16705

[In the REAL world, Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld would have been fired a long time ago for gross incompetence. Also: more evidence that it is Israel and the Israel lobby, and The Lobby only, which is agitating for a war against Iran. Enough of this shit, all the pragmatists in the business world are muttering, more and more loudly with each passing month. They consider the neocons to be surpassing wankers, all mouth, zero skills in any field other than in manufacturing hate propaganda.]

Investment banker Ken Miller says that the war in Iraq, conflated with the other policies coming out of Washington, are of growing concern to American financiers.

...

Wall Streeters now fall mainly into two camps: Those who think the war in Iraq was itself a horrible mistake and those who think it could have been a good choice but was bungled in the execution. It is not the $800 billion the Iraq War is projected to cost that drives us nuts. A $13 trillion economy can make adjustments. But the troop drawdown and failure to finish the job in Afghanistan, the bad information in the run-up to the Iraq invasion, the ever-changing rationales, the failure to develop realistic scenarios after the collapse of Saddam Hussein and the chronic bloodletting without an exit plan -- these smack of the type of performance that, in the brutal meritocracy of the Street, would cost us our jobs.

[political-research] Dan Abrams and Israeli Control of MSNBC

Dan Abrams was just appointed head of MSNBC. Contemplate these facts:
Dan Abrams /c Ann Coulter associate at Jewish World Review
Dan Abrams /c Bill O'Reilly associate at Jewish World Review
Dan Abrams /c Charles Krauthammer associate at Jewish World Review
Dan Abrams /c Daniel Pipes associate at Jewish World Review
Dan Abrams /c David Horowitz associate at Jewish World Review
Dan Abrams /c Dennis Prager associate at Jewish World Review
Dan Abrams /c Frank Gaffney associate at Jewish World Review
Dan Abrams /c Jackie Mason associate at Jewish World Review
Dan Abrams /c Jewish World Review member
Dan Abrams /c Jewish World Review writer
Dan Abrams /c JINSA link by Michael Ledeen at Jewish World Review
Dan Abrams /c Jonah Goldberg associate at Jewish World Review
Dan Abrams /c Mark Steyn associate at Jewish World Review
Dan Abrams /c Meir Kahane link by Jackie Mason at Jewish World Review
Dan Abrams /c Michael Ledeen associate at Jewish World Review
Dan Abrams /c Michelle Malkin associate at Jewish World Review
Dan Abrams /c Mort Zuckerman associate at Jewish World Review
Dan Abrams /c MSNBC general manager
Dan Abrams /c MSNBC head
Dan Abrams /c neoconservative
Dan Abrams /c pro-Israel militant
Dan Abrams /c Rich Lowry associate at Jewish World Review
The most extreme neocons in America are substantially in control of cable television news.
From Dan Abrams we can expect systematic censorship of criticism of Israel and the Israel lobby, a total blackout out on any questions about 9/11, a shrieking propaganda campaign to ignite a holy war between the United States and Israel's enemies and a toleration of vicious hate speech when it suits the interests of Israel and the Israel lobby.
Furthermore, we can expect "alternative" media outlets like the Huffington Post, Air America and From the Wilderness to maintain a strict silence about any of the above facts and issues.
