Published: October 17, 2006 SANTA MONICA, California International efforts to pressure North Korea to drop its nuclear weapons program could increase the chances of one of America's worst nightmares coming true - North Korean sales of nuclear weapons and technology to Iran, terrorist groups and other nations. This frightening result could come about if new sanctions imposed on North Korea by the United Nations - along with trade restrictions imposed by Japan, the United States and other nations - succeed in weakening North Korea's already weak economy, threatening the rule of Kim Jong Il. Desperate for hard currency, Kim could decide that the only way to keep his regime and himself alive ...
GOP still sinks — and Dems will miss own boat

Atlanta Journal-Constitution Wednesday, October 11, 2006 at 9:00 AM Watching the Republican leadership in the House scrambling around last week to douse the flames fanned by the scandal involving U.S. Rep. Mark Foley was — at least to me, a former Republican member of the House — not just painful. It was excruciating. And embarrassing. To witness a leadership so utterly devoid of any of the indices of, well, leadership reminded me just how far this majority had sunk since the halcyon days of the mid- and late-1990s. Love 'em or hate 'em, when the Republicans gained majority control of the House in the 1994 elections — a feat it had not been able to accomplish in the ...

'Growing up in an alien environment' Ethiopian poet, playwright and author Lemn Sissay, 39, was raised by a white family in the north of England. Here he tells how his life often felt like an experiment. " When somebody takes a child from their native culture, that is in itself an act of aggression. People will often say, love is all you need. But that is not true. Love without understanding is a dangerous thing. My mother came to England in 1967, which was a really high point in Ethiopian culture - Ethiopia was a prosperous place. She came during what was a comfortable time for Ethiopians. But as she found out, it was not a comfortable time for race relations in the UK. My ...

George Winston Bush? Invocations of Munich and a parade of new Hitlers won’t be enough to convince Americans that this is a good war. by Leon Hadar SIR–Please do not ever mention George Bush. And Winston Churchill in the same sentence again, even if you must break all the rules of grammar to do so. Steve Pettit, California (Letter to the editor, The Economist, May 25, 2006) Basil Fawlty is not a political consultant, nor does he play one on television. But I wish George W. Bush and his loyal band would follow the advice dispensed by Basil, the owner of the Fawlty Towers hotel, during episode six of one of the best-known British television comedies of all time. “Don’t ...
The Mind of the Terrorist

I don't read very much hard-boiled detective fiction, but I have read enough to know that the genre is a type of horror fiction, and like all horror, is based on goodness and order being attacked by evil and chaos. A fine example of this is John D. MacDonald's 1979 novel, The Green Ripper, a book I read only because Stephen King praised it. A horror writer praising a detective novel about MacDonald's famous anti-hero, Travis McGee? It made me curious. It turns out King was right in his assessment. Like all good writers, MacDonald has acute insight into human nature, a nature that sometimes is not such a great thing. In the case of The Green Ripper the human nature that McDonald writes ...
HEINZ KISSINGER STILL ACTING AS WHITE HOUSE CAPO FOR DAVID ROCKEFELLER LEADS US BACK TO 911

According to Bob Woodward’s newest book “State Of Denial” Henry Kissinger has been advising President Bush and Vice President Cheney about Iraq, telling them that "victory is the only meaningful exit strategy," Of course it is underplayed, and even spun to show how inept the Cheney / Bush Admin are running the War in Iraq. Oh but it says so much more to those of us who have been investigating Kissinger for many, many years now. In fact it leads to 911, and other high crimes and higher crimes by the controlling elite global mafia. It is just incredible how the Lame stream media plays us for suckers who cant remember what happened last week, let alone in the last ...
JFK-9-11 and the REAL AMERIKA

An organic reconsideration of US history and major "conspiracy theories" of the past 40 years, including those pertaining to the 9-11 attack, and how they shed light on America's present drift into fascism. Hijackers? What makes you think you actually KNOW what happened on those planes? All four were obliterated, along with everyone on board, remember? No crime scene, no direct evidence, no recognizable remains, no witnesses whatsoever -- it's a blank canvas. How convenient for any party intent on launching a new era of global imperialism, and willing to spin this tragedy into a viable excuse. Indeed, all of the attack's consequences are far better explained by this agenda than ...

A BUZZFLASH EDITORIA
To understand the crucible of the elitist, tyrannical and barbaric worldview of the Bush Administration, BuzzFlash has recently published two editorials that go back to explore the Kissinger doctrine of supporting the torture and murder of tens of thousands of people in South America, Central America, Vietnam, East Timor and elsewhere in the world.

California: I'm going to Darfur where it's safer! By Jane Stillwater Online Journal Contributing Writer Oct 12, 2006, 00:49 How come nobody ever gets tired of watching TV commercials? How come nobody ever protests? How come the same people who brag on and on and on about how brave they are for "staying the course" in the war on terrorism can't even manage to Just Say No to the endless stream of faceless morons who invade OUR living rooms every single night. Here we have all these strangers coming into our HOMES and trying to steal our money and our health -- a real danger to us and our families -- and yet these kind of "terrorists" are given a pass. Given a pass? ...

Do you want to know who the Americans running Iraq really are? By Jan Oberg 05/15/03: (TFF) They are people with a background in the far-right of the Republican Party, the Israel lobby, Perle and Wolfowitz henchmen, central to the war on terror, to the Homeland Defence authorities, to anti-ABM and pro-Ballistic Missile Defence (Star Wars), close to conservative think tanks, affiliated with mercenary companies, the military-industrial complex (MIC) and CIA. They are former "stabilisers" in Bosnia and Kosovo, and Marine Corps-people (many in Vietnam); they are private consulting firm executives affiliated with the inner circles of power in Washington. And, of course, several are ...

Ex-agent sues over CIA's editing of his book Author calls agency's 70-page redactions a violation of his First Amendment rights Dana Priest, Washington Post Sunday, October 15, 2006 * Printable Version * Email This Article (10-15) 04:00 PDT Washington -- When Gary Berntsen sat down for dinner last year with the CIA's executive director, Kyle "Dusty" Foggo, the agency's No. 3 tried to talk him out of resigning from the National Clandestine Service. Foggo even offered him a university position as a placeholder until the CIA's new director, Porter Goss, could fix the broken personnel system and other issues that frustrated him, according to Berntsen. But the Capital Grille meal ...
Americans have allowed Bush to drag U.S. to a new low

Americans have allowed Bush to drag U.S. to a new low By TED RALL Published Friday, October 13, 2006 SEATTLE - Students of historical hysteria immediately saw 9/11 as America's version of the Reichstag Fire. Both incidents were organic acts of terrorism (contrary to popular misconception, the Nazis didn't set the 1933 fire) seized upon by power-hungry government officials to justify the crushing of political dissent and the rolling back of civil liberties. Hitler began marching his people into the abyss immediately upon seizing power in 1933, but Nazi Germany's fate as a rogue nation wasn't sealed until two years later, in the late summer of 1935. Before then there had been heinous ...

A campaign hedge Andrew Cuomo realizes a nice return by investing in a high yield fund First published: Wednesday, October 11, 2006 New Yorkers have never been at much of a loss for reasons to demand that the lavish, almost anything goes approach to raising money for political campaigns be replaced with a system that stresses public financing above all. The people able to make such huge donations to politicians in a state where the limits on doing so are more of a joke than an actual regulation have too much influence on the people who get elected to office. Ordinary voters, either unable or disinclined to play that game, are effectively disenfranchised. Then there's the temptation by ...

October 13, 2006 Bush Versus Principled Conservatism Doug Bandow George W. Bush has been vilified by the Left, but his harshest critics should be on the Right. One of the most momentous consequences of the Bush presidency is the destruction of the philosophical core of modern conservatism. Like most political movements, American conservatism incorporated various strains of thought, some at odds with one another. But the movement had a fundamentally anti-statist orientation. Central was a commitment to individual liberty, limited government, and constitutional republicanism. None of these principles characterize today's conservative movement and Republican Party, which sells itself as ...
Kim Jong Il's suicide watch

Hours after Monday's nuclear test, President George W. Bush issued a stern warning to North Korea - but only against the passing of nuclear technology to other states or nonstate entities. The president's declaration thus reflected a confident consensus in Washington that while Kim Jong Il may try selling his nukes, he would never dream of using them himself. Why not? The explanation was given by a former national security adviser, Donald Gregg, on Monday: "Don't panic. Kim Jong Il's objective is survival not suicide." The same soothing logic could be applied to President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran, but of course it won't be. These long-term diagnoses of Kim's psyche are a ...

In George W. Bush’s world, Saddam Hussein defied United Nations demands that he get rid of his weapons of mass destruction and barred U.N. inspectors; al-Qaeda’s public statements must be believed even when contradicted by its private comments; and U.S. withdrawal from Iraq is unthinkable because it would let al-Qaeda “extend the caliphate,” a mythical state that doesn’t really exist. There’s always been the frightening question of what would happen if a President of United States went completely bonkers. But there is an equally disturbing issue of what happens if a President loses touch with reality, especially if he is surrounded by enough sycophants and ...

Tim (excuse me, Grima Wormtongue) discussed this last night in depth, and Glenn Greenwald has more today, but this story certainly will be the topic of much discussion: A team of American and Iraqi epidemiologists estimates that 655,000 more people have died in Iraq since coalition forces arrived in March 2003 than would have died if the invasion had not occurred. The estimate, produced by interviewing residents during a random sampling of households throughout the country, is far higher than ones produced by other groups, including Iraq’s government. It is more than 20 times the estimate of 30,000 civilian deaths that President Bush gave in a speech in December. It is more than 10 ...
Beyond the Coup Rumors, Options for Iraq

As the security situation in Baghdad has deteriorated over the past month, there has been growing talk among Iraqi politicians about a "government of national salvation" -- a coup, in effect -- that would impose martial law throughout the country. This coup talk is probably unrealistic, but it illustrates the rising desperation among Iraqis as the country slips deeper into civil war. The coup rumors come from several directions. U.S. officials have received reports that a prominent Sunni politician, Saleh al-Mutlak, visited Arab capitals over the summer and promoted the idea of a national salvation government, suggesting, erroneously, that it would have American support. ...

The Revolutionary War and the Destruction of the Continental By Thomas Woods Certain historical cases of inflation have become sufficiently notorious to become textbook examples of government printing presses run riot. In the twentieth century the classic episode was the German hyperinflation of 1923. The eighteenth century affords us the cases of the American and French Revolutions, and the monetary debasement for which those countries' governments were responsible. In the American case, the continental currency lost so much of its value that it became common to describe something as worthless by saying it was "not worth a Continental." Financing for the American War for ...

The Case for Impeachment: A thunderous cry for Bush’s removal and why By Frank J. Ranelli Online Journal Guest Writer Oct 11, 2006, 01:02 Email this article Printer friendly page Richard M. Nixon, a president with imperial conquests of his own, once stated in 1973 that he failed to notice the 400,000 plus protesters outside the White House while he watched a ball game. Arrogance and an infallible belief that he was beyond the reach of not only those patriotic citizen’s redresses and grievances, but the laws of this nation proved his political demise. Thirteen months later, amid lies, spying and scandal, Nixon resigned in order to stave off an inevitable impeachment that had ...
