Feb. 6 (Bloomberg) -- Forget Disney World and Epcot Center. You haven't seen anything until you've seen the Creation Museum set to open in Petersburg, Kentucky, this year. It has a theater with seats that shake and machines that spray mist as God's six-day creation marathon is re-enacted. Museum scientists weave a yarn that has humans and dinosaurs popping up on the very same day -- the sixth, to be exact, which is when the Bible says God made all the land animals. If you're studying up after your visit, creationists have answers to all your questions. Wondering how God managed to say ``Let there be light'' on Day One without making the sun until Day Four? Hey, no ...
Only the US hawks can save the Iranian president now: Ahmadinejad is failing to deliver for the poor and losing support, but he could yet survive because of the international threat

The honeymoon is over. Iran's controversial president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, has finally come unstuck. His popularity with the Iranian electorate - the subject of much incredulous analysis in 2005 - seems to be falling back at last, and the country's latest exercise in populism seems to be reaping the rewards of unfulfilled promises bestowed with little attention to economic realities.
Those realities have sharpened with the onset of UN ...

My Cousin In Law's Account of a Dick Cheney Hunt in Louisiana

OK - IHave been meaning to about this ever since my CIL related it too me. I had read about a report of Cheney using heliocopters to "herd" birds to his guns, I really cannot remember where, but I wrote it off as political fantasy, similar to an "Onion" account. Well, just about one year ago my father in law died, and we made the sad trip to Lake Charles for the undertakings. In the days that followed, I met up with my cousin in law, Charley, who I had heard of before but prolly never met, unless in passing at a wedding or such. We got to enjoy each others company during the rituals, tho we are not too alike. Charley is a redneck and proud of it. Even my fourteen ...
Ron Paul: Political Power and the Rule of Law

February 5, 2007 With the elections over and the 110th Congress settling in, the media have been reporting ad nauseam about who has assumed new political power in Washington. We're subjected to breathless reports about emerging power brokers in Congress; how so-and-so is now the powerful chair of an important committee; how certain candidates are amassing power for the 2008 elections, and so on. Nobody questions this use of the word "power," or considers its connotations. It's simply assumed, in Washington and the mainstream media, that political power is proper and inevitable. The problem is that politicians are not supposed to have power over us-- we're supposed ...
Failed States: The US and Israel
Post Date: 2007-02-05 14:20:46 by Brian S

Growing references by the US and Israel to the Muslim Middle East as a collection of failed states are part of the propaganda campaign to strip legitimacy from Muslim states and set them up for attack. These accusations spring from the hubris of many Israelis, who see themselves as "God’s Chosen People," a guarantee of immunity instead of a call to responsibility, and many Americans, who regard their country as "a city upon a hill" that is "the light of the world." But do the US and Israel fit the profile of successful states - or are they failed states themselves? A compelling case can be made that the US and Israel are failed states. Israel ...

Robert Fisk: Seen through a Syrian lens, 'unknown Americans' are provoking civil war in Iraq Published: 28 April 2006 In Syria, the world appears through a glass, darkly. As dark as the smoked windows of the car which takes me to a building on the western side of Damascus where a man I have known for 15 years - we shall call him a "security source", which is the name given by American correspondents to their own powerful intelligence officers - waits with his own ferocious narrative of disaster in Iraq and dangers in the Middle East. His is a fearful portrait of an America trapped in the bloody sands of Iraq, desperately trying to provoke a civil war around Baghdad in ...
The Real Purpose of US Mid-East Policies

Dear Professor Bacevich, I enjoyed reading your January 29 article in TAC. Like everything you write, it displays much level-headedness and appreciation of the relevant historical and political facts, all of which are lacking in the latest harebrained neocon-presidential scheme to "surge" another batch of U.S. troops into harm's way in Baghdad for no good reason. I differ with your views, however, in two regards. First, you write as though the past sixty years of U.S. policy in the Middle East amount to little more than a series of stupid and unsuccessful episodes. Of course, if one supposes that these policies were intended to realize their ostensible purposes, you are ...
BORIS JOHNSON'S SPECTATOR DIARY ON CONDI RICE
Post Date: 2007-02-03 17:50:36 by aristeides

The Spectator Diary January 28, 2007 It is one of the great mysteries of modern geopolitics. How the hell has Condoleezza Rice got away with it for so long? There she is, Secretary of State of the United States and one of the most powerful people on the planet. It is Condi Rice who leads on behalf of you, me, the entire Western world, in waging this deepening Cold War with Iran. She is the girl who threatens Ahmedinejad with Armageddon, or whatever our policy is. And yet if you read State of Denial by Bob Woodward (as you must) it is clear that she was the most stupefyingly incompetent National Security Adviser in the history of that office. She was warned, in some detail, about 9/11. The ...

The King Is Dead
By James Cusick, Westminster Editor
Scotland Yard’s investigation into cash for honours will not go away. Perhaps it’s time the PM did.
WAVING FLAGS, cheering crowds, carefully chosen faces lit with broad smiles - the well-planned political choreography that welcomed Tony Blair and New Labour to Downing Street in 1997 was no accidental outbreak of national joy. Ten years on, similar plans are said to exist for his departure, centred on a farewell festival for Labour's most successful leader. But a rear-door exit or accelerated withdrawal now looks increasingly likely. And this is the timetable Blair never wanted.
Although the prime minister told the BBC ...

Washington, D,C., January 31, 2007: “Once in awhile, I come across the odd report that is really far more important than it looks. It is obvious that the government, all of its departments, abhor and fear the internet. They can control, easily, the print media and television but they cannot control the internet. True, there is much nuttiness on the internet but there is also something rarely found in either the print or television media: The truth. I have an article I got which I am attaching to this for your information, that concerns this subject. Many do not know, but we do, that Internet II is a creature of government CI entirely and that many telecommunications companies ...

Open letter to Giorgio Napolitano, the president of ItalyBy Manno MauroOnline Journal Guest Writer Feb 2, 2007, 02:24 Mr. President, from what I can read on RAI’s (Italian television) teletext service, you are supposed to have stated: “No to anti-Semitism even when it is disguised as anti-Zionism.”“Anti-Zionism entails the rejection of the source of inspiration of the Jewish State, of the reasons for its very foundation, yesterday, and of its security today, which goes beyond the government’s taking turns at Israel’s leadership.”If this is what you really think, and obviously I hope that is not the case, let me say that these are wrong and serious ...
A Bush in the hand is priceless for AEI

In the 1980s, when Ronald Reagan was in the White House, the Heritage Foundation was the most influential rightwing thinktank in Washington. Nowadays, that distinction belongs to the American Enterprise Institute. A glance at the AEI's list of scholars and fellows provides swift confirmation of the cosy ties between the thinktank and the White House. Lynne Cheney, wife of the vice-president, is a senior fellow; David Frum, a former speechwriter for the president, is a resident fellow; and Richard Perle, a Pentagon adviser before the war, also has a desk there. The AEI today made the front pages of the Guardian, which reported that the ExxonMobil-funded thinktank had been offering ...

Fragmented Future Multiculturalism doesn’t make vibrant communities but defensive ones. by Steve Sailer In the presence of [ethnic] diversity, we hunker down. We act like turtles. The effect of diversity is worse than had been imagined. And it’s not just that we don’t trust people who are not like us. In diverse communities, we don’t trust people who do look like us. —Harvard professor Robert D. Putnam It was one of the more irony-laden incidents in the history of celebrity social scientists. While in Sweden to receive a $50,000 academic prize as political science professor of the year, Harvard’s Robert D. Putnam, a former Carter administration official ...
Putin Puts U.S. on Notice: Suggests Bush & Co. is Making Up "Terrorist Threat" for their own agenda

A lesson in Western Media Spin Vladimir Putin's press conference has been "asymmetrically" covered by the Western media, it seems. SOTT has made a translation, from the original Russian, of the most pertinent remarks which were "spun" in a somewhat different way in the LA Times, reprinted by the Boston Globe. From Putin's sixth Press Conference, Feb. 1, 2007 in Russian: Most problems that were discussed were concerned with economical and internal issues. But there was also this: Question (Vladimir Kuzmin): Concerning the plans of the US to build an antimissile defense system in Czech Republic, Poland and possibly in Ukraine, do you consider them rational? ...

"I'm concerned about protectionism, isolationism." Those were the first words President Bush spoke as he sat down Wednesday at an editorial board meeting at The Wall Street Journal. Reading his remarks calls forth only sadness. For neither the president nor his acolytes at the Journal appear to have learned anything from the disasters their ideas have visited upon the party and country. Can Bush not see that the isolation of America is a result of the war he launched on a nation that, no matter how odious its regime, did not threaten us? Can he not see clearly now the idiocy of the Journal's 10-year crusade for a "MacArthur Regency" in Baghdad? Has this ...
George Bushas Fifth Columnist: Aiding America's Enemies

President George W. Bush, backed by a nearly united Republican Party, took the US into war against Iraq. The Bush administration, resolutely supported by a phalanx of neocon ivory tower warriors, GOP-minded pundits, and grassroots conservative activists, undertook to build democracy in Mesopotamia. For nearly three years a right-wing Greek chorus has spouted the president's praises as he insisted that all was well with America's newest military venture in the Mideast. Yet things haven't worked out as expected. However, war supporters insist that the problems have nothing to do with the brilliant leadership exercised by the valiant President Bush. To the contrary, it is someone ...
The neocons have learned nothing from five years of catastrophe

The United States today spends approximately as much as the rest of the world combined on its military establishment. So it is worth pondering why it is that, after nearly four years of effort, the loss of thousands of American lives, and an outlay of perhaps half-a-trillion dollars, the US has not succeeded in pacifying a small country of some 24 million people, much less in leading it to anything that looks remotely like a successful democracy. One answer is that the nature of global politics in the first decade of the 21st century has changed in important ways. Today's world, at least in that band of instability that runs from north Africa and through the Middle East, sub-Saharan ...

Ron Paul: Support the Troops by Ending the War

I have never met anyone who did not support our troops. Sometimes, however, we hear accusations that someone or some group does not support the men and women serving in our armed forces. This is pure demagoguery, and it's intellectually dishonest. The accusers play on emotions to gain support for controversial policies, implying that those who disagree are unpatriotic. But keeping our troops out of harm's way, especially when war is unnecessary, is never unpatriotic. There's no better way to support the troops. Since we now know that Iraq had no weapons of mass destruction and was not threatening anyone, we must come to terms with 3,000 American deaths and 23,000 American ...

"The people in their overwhelming majority are so feminine by nature and attitude that sober reasoning determines their thoughts and actions far less than emotion and feeling." -Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf (Ralph Manheim translation, p.183)*****Adolf Hitler expounded upon propaganda considerably in his massive autobiographic polemic against the Jews, Bolshevism and most things civilized, Mein Kampf (My Life), first written in 1925. Actually, Hitler was the director of propaganda for the Nazi Party for a time. In the above quotation, he is cynically observing that for mass propaganda to work on the masses, one has to throw logic out the window and hit them with images and rhetoric ...
