You Call That a Secret?

The government bends the law to hide what it has no business hiding. At midnight on New Year's Eve, a vast number of government documents that are secret now will be secret no more. The automatic declassification, which applies to all material that is at least 25 years old unless agencies have sought exemptions for it, will include hundreds of millions of pages from the FBI, the CIA, and the National Security Agency. Historians, who will be digesting these documents for decades, can look forward to millions more every year from now on. They can thank not only President Bill Clinton, who signed the 1995 executive order establishing the declassification policy, but also President George ...

Baghdad Burning ... I'll meet you 'round the bend my friend, where hearts can heal and souls can mend... Friday, December 29, 2006 End of Another Year... You know your country is in trouble when: The UN has to open a special branch just to keep track of the chaos and bloodshed, UNAMI. Abovementioned branch cannot be run from your country. The politicians who worked to put your country in this sorry state can no longer be found inside of, or anywhere near, its borders. The only thing the US and Iran can agree about is the deteriorating state of your nation. An 8-year war and 13-year blockade are looking like the country's 'Golden Years'. Your country is purportedly ...

This is getting rediculious. Normallly after a blizzard we get some sun to make it all well. Not so this time. All clouds and cold. The Interstate is all icey except for two four inch ruts where the wheels hit, the rest of the city is an icy glaze. It's a expedition to get out of our local drive onto the feeder roads, and then it is a adventure to make it to work. And more snow expected this night and tomorrow. We went through 120 pounds of "salt" on our parking lot and it's accessible but shutting down at nine tonite, on a Friday. The midwest folks must be laughing at us. I must have moved 40 tons of snow the last few days. Thank goodness I bot a snow blower last ...
Bush Has Little To Celebrate

As 2006 draws to a close, US President George W. Bush seems to have absolutely nothing to celebrate. His "Greater Middle East Plan" has failed to materialise, his Iraq policy is in tatters, his democracy promotion, announced at the beginning of his second term, has retreated, Iran has not so far responded to his calls to halt uranium enrichment, North Korea has become a nuclear power, Osama Bin Laden is still alive and kicking, his little victory in Lebanon is still far from being secured, Russia has made a comeback and is challenging US interests in many places around the world, and finally, his party has received a severe blow in the US mid-term elections. In effect, Bush's ...
The Disrespect for Truth has Brought a New Dark Age

In her historical mystery, The Daughter of Time, Josephine Tey (a pen name of Elizabeth MacKintosh) has Scotland Yard Inspector Alan Grant, while confined to his hospital bed, solve the 15th century murder of the two York princes in the Tower of London. The princes were murdered by Henry VII, and the crime was blamed on Richard III in order to justify the upstart Tudor’s violent seizure of the English throne. Tey makes the point that if a 20th century mystery writer can detect the truth about a 15th century murder, historians have no excuse to persist in writing in school textbooks that Richard murdered his nephews. British historians remained loyal to the Tudor propaganda long after ...

The public, seeing through the tissue of Bush administration lies told to justify an invasion that never had anything to do with the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11 or weapons of mass destruction, now has begun a national questioning: Why are we still in Iraq? The answers posted most widely on the Internet by critics of the war suggest its continuation as a naked imperial grab for the world’s second-largest petroleum source, but that is wrong. It’s not primarily about the oil; it’s much more about the military-industrial complex, the label employed by President Dwight D. Eisenhower 45 years ago when he warned of the dangers of “a permanent arms industry of vast ...

As well as I can judge, the general attitude of Americans who are at all interested in foreign affairs is one of astonishment, coupled with distaste, displeasure, or horror, according to the individual observer's capacity for emotional excitement. Perhaps I ought to shade this statement a little in order to keep on the safe side, and say that this is the most generally expressed attitude. All our institutional voices — the press, pulpit, forum — are pitched to the note of amazed indignation at one or another phase of the current goings-on in Europe and Asia. This leads me to believe that our people generally are viewing with wonder as well as repugnance certain conspicuous ...

I buy gold (and silver) for one reason. That reason is that things are about to change. That was my conclusion in June of 2000 and I sense the approach of that change growing ever closer. I am not just talking about the usual economic reasons such as the gross debasement of fiat currencies around the world, or the insane levels of debt created with enthusiastic abandon by our shifty, self-serving politicians or the equally idiotic levels of private debt; neither am I talking about the sheer indifference and/or incompetence of our governing officials and their enthusiastic squandering of the vast taxes confiscated from the peasants who continue to work and create and produce despite all ...

Bush Redefines His Global War to Encompass a New Range of Enemies
Post Date: 2006-12-29 06:44:01 by Ada
2 Comments
Wise man Robert Parry, who has been a light shining in the darkness for decades now, identifies an important – and entirely sinister – change in Bush's description of the "Long War" that he has initiated around the world. This semantic shift portends an even greater level of bloodshed, state terrorism and tyranny than we have yet seen, as it indicates another stage in the inexorable expansion of the "enemies" that the "forces of civilization" must crush by violence. As Parry notes, this declension into madness has moved from very specific targets (“terrorist groups of global reach") to the more generalized and already impossibly vague ...

Remembering Gerald Ford: The Kennedy Assassination

Giving ConsentWe were slightly taken aback when we found this item yesterday. We asked ourselves: Do they really believe this type of manipulation can work? Then we remembered the WMD in Iraq, 9/11, the 2000 elections. Of course it will work. No JFK conspiracy, new analysis shows October 28, 2003 The United States' ABC television network said today it conducted an exhaustive investigation of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, complete with a computer-generated reconstruction, which irrefutably confirms that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. A two-hour special on the event is scheduled to air on ABC News in the United States on November 20, two days before the 40th ...
Getting Corned by the Ethanol Lobby
Post Date: 2006-12-28 06:33:26 by Ada

For decades now, the federal government has been hitting us in the wallet in order to subsidize the production of ethanol – alcohol derived from corn that is now being added to gasoline for a variety of reasons, which include claims that it is better for the environment than gasoline and helps to reduce American dependence on foreign oil. But if you're a boat owner, there's a good chance you've been feeling another big side-effect of these ethanol appropriations. As in, your boat’s engine won't start. At least that's the case with me. It's bad enough that taxpayers are forced to help foot the bill for the production of ethanol, but if you're like me, ...
In Somalia, a reckless U.S. proxy war

NAIROBI: Undeterred by the horrors and setbacks in Iraq, Afghanistan and Lebanon, the Bush administration has opened another battlefront in the Muslim world. With full U.S. backing and military training, at least 15,000 Ethiopian troops have entered Somalia in an illegal war of aggression against the Union of Islamic Courts, which controls almost the entire south of the country. As with Iraq in 2003, the United States has cast this as a war to curtail terrorism, but its real goal is to obtain a direct foothold in a highly strategic region by establishing a client regime there. The Horn of Africa is newly oil-rich, and lies just miles from Saudi Arabia, overlooking the daily passage of ...
Would You “Support the Troops” in Bolivia?

Soldiers who join the military voluntarily sign a very unusual contract with the federal government. It is a contract that effectively obligates the soldier to go anywhere in the world on orders of the president and kill people as part of an invasion force against other countries. It doesn’t matter whether the intended victims deserve to die or not. That issue is irrelevant as far as the soldier is concerned. His job is not to question why people he is ordered to kill should be killed; his job is simply to invade and carry out the killing, no questions asked. For example, let’s say that President Bush orders U.S. troops to invade and occupy Bolivia. The order would reach the ...

George Bush Is a Hero

President George W. Bush, vilified by many, supported by some, is a hero to me. Why do I say that? It's not because I agree with the president's domestic agenda. It's not because I think he's done a perfect job in the White House. George Bush is a hero to me because he has courage. The president does what he believes to be in the best interest of the United States. He sticks with his beliefs, no matter how intense the criticism and invective that are directed against him every day. The enormous defeat President Bush suffered with the loss of both Houses of Congress has not caused him to retreat from his position that the U.S. alone now stands between a radical Islamic ...

Bush, the Inept Marionette
By Curt Maynard
Al-Jazeerah, December 25, 2006
Many Americans are beginning to realize the obvious, President
Bush has completely wasted any capital that he may have once
had. Foreign leaders are already aware of this, nobody takes
him seriously, he is seen for what he is, a weak, inept
marionette. Recently we saw the new Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri
al-Maliki literally stand Bush up at an allegedly important
meeting ...

Rabbi Who Shook Ahmadinejad's Hand Shares Common Goal-- Destruction Of Israel Ah. Now it all makes sense. The photograph is jarring, to say the least. Why on earth would a rabbi from New York travel to Tehran to embrace Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, a man who says the Holocaust never happened and that Israel should be annihilated? ... This small suburban county has the highest percentage of Jews in the nation, and many if not most of them have been seething since leaders of the ultra-Orthodox sect Neturei Karta attended the Holocaust conference in Tehran and seemingly lent their support to known Holocaust deniers.

Why Iraq is a Success

The nation and economy known as the new Iraq is succeeding, and those who dispute this are simply lying. Call it whatever you'd like - a quagmire, a country torn by violence, the next Vietnam, etc. - but it is dishonest to say is that this nation is not a success. Government corruption, uncontrolled militias, and (as the drive-by media likes to remind us) daily attacks using improvised exploding devices - but it is not an economy going under. Take yourself back to the days following 9.11. Do you remember the near stand still our economy experienced? The airline industry down for days and the markets went into the tank. I can only surmise that similar bumps in our economic stability ...

Iran backed dangerously into a corner By Linda S. Heard, Special to Gulf News
American and Israeli machinations have once more put this region under threat. Following months of barking from Bolton the bulldog the United Nations Security Council has unanimously passed a resolution designed to slow the Iranian nuclear programme.
It isn't as comprehensive as the former US ambassador to the UN John Bolton and his masters would have liked, concentrating, as it does, on banning the import and export of nuclear-related materials and freezing the assets of certain companies, but it's the best he could prize out of reluctant China and Russia.
Moscow held out the longest and only ...

Why Not Have A Realistic Debate, with Charges that Could Actually Result in Convictions? There is a well-organized and growing movement to impeach President Bush and/or Vice President Cheney. On my bookshelf sit half a dozen books making the case for Bush's impeachment. I myself have no doubt that Bush has, in fact, committed impeachable offenses, and that for each Bush "high crime and misdemeanor," Cheney's culpability is ten or twenty times greater. At the outset of the 2006 midterm election, Democratic Speaker-designate Nancy Pelosi, and Senator Majority Leader-designate Harry Reid, stated on behalf of the Democratic leadership that impeachment of Bush or Cheney ...

The Romans Destroy the Temple at Jerusalem, 70 AD Printer Friendly Version >>> In the year 66 AD the Jews of Judea rebelled against their Roman masters. In response, the Emperor Nero dispatched an army under the generalship of Vespasian to restore order. By the year 68, resistance in the northern part of the province had been eradicated and the Romans turned their full attention to the subjugation of Jerusalem. That same year, the Emperor Nero died by his own hand, creating a power vacuum in Rome. In the resultant chaos, Vespasian was declared Emperor and returned to the Imperial City. It fell to his son, Titus, to lead the remaining army in the assault on Jerusalem. Roman ...
