I'm Prepared To Give My Life For This Or Any Country By Curtis Stalbank March 28, 2007 | Issue 43•13 As a true patriot, I would gladly die in battle defending my homeland. I love my country more than my own life. But I would also be more than willing to give my last breath in the name of, say, Mexico, Panama, Japan, or the Czech Republic. The most honorable thing a man can do is lay down his life for his country. Or another country. The important thing is that it's a country. Like those heroes who spilled their blood fighting for independence against the British Empire, I, too, would forfeit everything to win for my countrymen the right to be governed by politicians in our ...

AT LAW First They Came for the Jews A prosecution under the Espionage Act threatens the First Amendment. BY DOROTHY RABINOWITZ Monday, April 2, 2007 12:01 a.m. Early in June 2004, an employee of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, AIPAC--better known by its media tag, "the powerful Israeli lobby"--received an urgent phone call. Pentagon analyst Lawrence Franklin, a specialist on Iran, informed AIPAC lobbyist Keith Weissman that they had better meet because he had news of the most important kind to disclose. Mr. Weissman not surprisingly agreed to the rendezvous, held in Pentagon City, Va., where he was told about an imminent, Iran-directed assault on American troops ...

In late February, only a few days after Saudi Arabia beheaded four Sri Lankan robbers and then left their headless bodies on public display in the capital of Riyadh, Neil Bush, for the fourth time in the past six years, showed up for the country’s Jeddah Economic Forum. The Guardian reported that Human Rights Watch “said the four men had no lawyers during their trial and sentencing, and were denied other basic legal rights.” In an interview with Arab News, the Saudi English language paper, Bush described the country as “a kind of tribal democracy.” Neil Mallon Bush, the son of President George H. W. Bush and the brother of President George W. Bush, attended the ...

Voice of the White House March 30, 2007
TBR http://News.org – March 30, 2007
“Several topics of interest. Let’s discuss the recent rash of outbreaks in the food chain. Mad Cow disease, Ecoli outbreaks in fresh spinach, Ecoli at east coast Taco Bells’s and an Olive Garden in the Midwest and finally, the great Pet Food die off. First off, there is Mad Cow in the United States. The Department of Agriculture is well aware of it. The Secretary issued dozens of calming statements when they found one cow in the States, did her best and then quit to work for, of all things, the meatpacking industry. Typical of the Bush people.

"The individual citizen has no federal constitutional right to vote for electors for the President of the United States. . . . " That is not some reactionary piece of propaganda denying your right to choose the next president. It is one of the more memorable sentences from the Supreme Court's decision in Bush v. Gore, the hard-to-forget 2000 case that put the current occupant in the White House. And strictly speaking, the court was right. As the majority opinion went on to note, we have the right to use our ballots to pick members of the electoral college -- which in turn chooses the president -- because every state legislature has decided on "statewide election" ...

Blair no credibility in citing international law, says UK daily London, March 31, IRNA UK Daily-Sailor Arrests A leading British daily Saturday suggested that one of the reasons the UK government failed to win the support of the UN Security Council in its diplomatic dispute over Iran's arrest of UK sailors was because Prime Minister Tony Blair has no credibility. "Because of the catastrophe in Iraq, the UK has no real diplomatic leverage in the region," the Independent said in its editorial on the week-long crisis. "Blair calls the Iranian action illegal in international law and cites the United Nations mandate for the presence of British forces in Iraq. But the US and ...
The Rovian Era

Turn over a scandal in Washington these days and the chances are you’ll find Karl Rove. His tracks are everywhere: whether it’s helping to purge United States attorneys, coaching bureaucrats on how to spend taxpayers’ money to promote Republican candidates, hijacking the White House Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives for partisan politics, or helping to organize a hit on the character of one of the first people to publicly reveal the twisting of intelligence reports on Iraq. Whatever the immediate objective, Mr. Rove seems focused on one overarching goal: creating a permanent Republican majority, even if that means politicizing every aspect of the White House ...

According to Russian intelligence sources, the reports said, the US has devised a plan to attack several targets in Iran, and an assault could be carried out by launching missiles from fighter jets and warships stationed in the Persian Gulf.

War Is the Health of the State by Randolph Bourne First part of an essay entitled "The State," which was left unfinished at Bourne's untimely death in 1918 To most Americans of the classes which consider themselves significant the war [World War I] brought a sense of the sanctity of the State which, if they had had time to think about it, would have seemed a sudden and surprising alteration in their habits of thought. In times of peace, we usually ignore the State in favour of partisan political controversies, or personal struggles for office, or the pursuit of party policies. It is the Government rather than the State with which the politically minded are concerned. The ...

No hoods. No electric shocks. No beatings. These Iranians clearly are a very uncivilised bunch I share the outrage expressed in the British press over the treatment of our naval personnel accused by Iran of illegally entering their waters. It is a disgrace. We would never dream of treating captives like this - allowing them to smoke cigarettes, for example, even though it has been proven that smoking kills. And as for compelling poor servicewoman Faye Turney to wear a black headscarf, and then allowing the picture to be posted around the world - have the Iranians no concept of civilised behaviour? For God's sake, what's wrong with putting a bag over her head? That's what we do ...

Another current and rather obvious mistake based entirely on faulty models of understanding is that the dispute over the British sailors captured in Iranian waters is part of an Anglo-American plan to provoke an attack on Iran. Nonsense! If the analysts can get their minds off their stupidities and their heads out of their asses about the inevitability of an attack, and, for once, look at the facts (I’m getting tired of being the only one who does so), it is glaringly apparent that the London response is completely ad-libbed. B-liar is getting pounded by the Iranian propaganda, and the British lies aren’t even close to believable. Don’t you think it obvious that a real ...
Bush's Veto: Let's Hold Blackwater Hostage

Despite the dedicated efforts of journalists like Jeremy Scahill and the many diarists on this site, the MSM has not yet caught hold of this story: There are now something like 100,000 private 'contractors' in Iraq, essentially a mercenary army, largely on the payroll of Blackwater USA. Blackwater's presence in Iraq is largely funded through contracts with the Department of State. Without those contractors, Bush would not be talking about a 20,000 or 30,000 troop surge. Do the math. He would have long since demanded an escalation on the order of Vietnam, post-Tet. Many of us object in principle to the idea of these private armies -- whether on foreign or on domestic soil.

Momentous Trifles by Paul Hein by Paul Hein DIGG THIS I haven’t conducted a survey, but I think that if I were to ask people if they believed there was some sort of significant difference between Republicans and Democrats, many, if not most of them, would answer "Yes." In a sense, they’re right. The ultimate political difference is: We’re out; they’re in. Or vice versa. Getting into office and staying there is the ultimate political question before which all others fade into insignificance. But once elected, what are the differences? Well, there are the stereotypes: the Republicans favor big business; the Democrats, labor. The Republicans frown on ...

March 26, 2007 Federal Reserve: Hiding 9-11 Evidence? Last Friday, we noticed a news item that was picked up by the on-line news service, Freedom’s Phoenix Headline News out of Phoenix, Arizona. The news story was titled, “Former Fed analyst questions M1 currency component spike prior to 9/11,” and was originally published on March 22 in the Muckraker Report. The story is about William Bergman a senior analyst at the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago whose employment with the Bank was abruptly terminated after he sought answers to a question relating to an investigation he had been directed to undertake. According to the Muckraker Report, Bergman had noted that the Board ...
Psychological warfare putting heat on Iran
Post Date: 2007-03-30 17:55:07 by Eoghan

As the war of words between Iran and the United States continues to escalate, the psychological-warfare campaign of the latter is assuming greater and more sinister proportions. So much so that there are now good reasons to believe the US has orchestrated the kidnapping of a former Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps general in Istanbul. Unfortunately for Iran, the US psychological-warfare campaign seems to be working. This is evident on both the domestic and external fronts. Domestically, the Mahmud Ahmadinejad government and its allies, who favor a tough approach to nuclear negotiations, are being increasingly attacked by a broad range of political forces. Moreover, on the foreign-policy ...

Trading Camelot for Globalism By Nick Ivanovich March 7, 2007 Current policy makes no sense at all. Is the government of the United States still "Of, By, and For the people"? Or, is it responsive to another ideology, Globalism, a new name for an old idea to dominate the world depriving the many to benefit a powerful few? In all its wars, Americans have sacrificed, fought and many have died for the concept of freedom, the right of individuals to live free from oppression, to better themselves and to have a voice in and influence their government. That concept raised the standard of living of all Americans for nearly two hundred years. During that time this country was the ...
Are Iraqis creatures from a different creator?

Did Iraqis come to be from a creator of their very own . . . a lesser god, perhaps? Not just Iraqis, but Palestinians and Lebanese as well! One only needs to ask the two ladies who have handled America’s affairs of state: Madeleine (for Clinton) and Condoleezza (for Bush). Those half-million Iraqi children who died in the ’90s as a result of American-instigated United Nations’ sanctions was a price well worth paying, according to Ms. Albright; and the tragic losses that were being suffered by Lebanon last year in the July War were no reason to call a cease-fire, as that was a necessary price to pay for Bush’s effort to create a “new” Middle East, ...

What got us into this nightmare was a lengthy string
of mega-lies that originated within the twisted plans of Dick Cheney and
Donald Rumsfeld, back in the 1970's. The U.S. presidents that have come
and gone since then, have each played their part, in bringing us kicking
and screaming to this decision point. There are several major parallax-views
that have led the public to misunderstand and misinterpret the political
events and military actions in the Middle-East: Actions that have kept
our invasions going, and that now threaten to up-end the world-if these

Iran: Britain must admit navy trespassed By SALAH NASRAWI, Associated Press Writer 49 minutes ago RIYADH, Saudi Arabia - Iran's foreign minister said Wednesday that Britain must admit that its 15 sailors and marines entered Iranian waters in order to resolve a standoff over their capture by the Mideast nation. ADVERTISEMENT Manouchehr Mottaki's statement in an interview with The Associated Press came on a day of escalating tensions, highlighted by an Iranian video of the detained Britons that showed the only woman captive saying her group had "trespassed" in Iranian waters. Britain angrily denounced the video as unacceptable and froze most dealings with the Mideast ...

The truly astonishing thing about the latest scandals besetting the Bush administration is that they stem from actions the administration took after the November elections, when Democratic control of Congress was a fait accompli. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales' hour-long meeting on sacking federal prosecutors took place after the election. The subsequent sacking took place after the election. The videoconference between leaders of the General Services Administration and Karl Rove's deputy about how to help Republican candidates in 2008, according to people who attended the meeting, took place Jan. 26 this year. During last year's congressional campaigns, Republicans spent ...
Prediction: We are approaching the tipping point in the 9/11 investigation

Prediction: We are approaching the tipping point in the 9/11 investigation. The unfortunate part is that our recent history indicates how the government will respond. After Waco and the assault on the Second Amendment, we experienced a growing Patriot Movement in the United States.The movement was approaching a tipping point in 1995. The government response was the Oklahoma City bombing and the blame was assigned to the Patriot Movement. I believe it is likely that another "Timothy McVeigh" operative is being sheep-dipped in the Truth Movement and will participate in a horrendous attack that will be used to taint the 9/11 Truth Movement.

Monica Goodling, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales' senior counsel and White House liaison, and a woman intimately involved in the process whereby 7 US Attorneys were "purged" on December 7, 2006 (a date that will live in infamy, no doubt about it) has stated her intention to plead the Fifth with respect to any questions she may be asked by the Senate Judiciary Committee. The relevant question to ask is this one: Can Ms. Goodling assert her 5th amendment right against self-incrimination and refuse to testify about her role, and the role of others at the White House and at the Department of Justice, regarding the US Attorney firings? Why Goodling Says She Won't ...
