Iran Wins Yet Another Round In War of Words!

Elaine Meinel Supkis

As I predicted based entirely on the cartoons I draw, the Persian Kitty Cat keeps raking the British Poodle's nose and now we hear, the poodle has stopped barking and is now whimpering. Olmert wants to bark at Gaza's ghetto residents but is worried about a bloody nose, too. And the USA is again accused of torturing prisoners. How very true.

From the New York Times:

After more than a week of mounting confrontation over its 15 captured sailors and marines held in Iran, Britain sounded a more conciliatory tone on Saturday, saying it had responded to a diplomatic message from Tehran and was ready to peacefully resolve the issue.

The British foreign secretary, Margaret Beckett, also indicated for the first time that Britain regretted the incident.

“The message I want to send is I think everyone regrets that this position has arisen,” she said after a meeting of European Union foreign ministers in Germany. “What we want is a way out of it.”

But the overtures seem to have been rebuffed by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran, who was quoted by Iranian state radio as saying that Britain had not followed the “legal and logical way” to defuse the crisis.

Oh, does this ever remind me of the spy plane crisis with China! After making ridiculous threats, after going to our belligerent allies in Japan and Europe, trying to condemn China, the Chinese kept this on the front burner and forced events along, demanding concessions and a formal apology.

Back then, Bush refused. Then he had Powell 'regret' the Chinese incident, still blaming them for everything. Then the Chinese demanded a specific apology which included a strong promise to cease the in-their-face spying.

In the end after all the western media ran one propaganda story after another, each time talking about how 'isolated' China was and how 'wrong' China was and talking about how China was losing face, in the bitter end, Bush had to apologize several times and then they sent the plane back in small pieces after studying our spy equipment thoroughly.

Even after this obvious defeat that clearly showed the world that Bush was a blundering loudmouth loser, our media praised him for being astute and strong, etc. Then 9/11 happened. America was shown to be a nation with its nose up every ass overseas and zero protection at home. A situation that has gotten much worse in the last three years.

From the Independent in Britain:

Ahmad Khatami, Tehran's thickset leader of Friday prayers, gesticulated in the air as he rebuked Britain. The thousands of people sitting before him are regime loyalists, representing the fifth of Iranians who always vote conservative.

A thundering salavat, an invocation of God, his prophet and the imams, greeted Mr Khatami's more robust statements, followed by chants of "Death to America! Death to England!" As the crowd poured out, the worshippers expressed their defiance and anger at America's smaller ally, nicknamed "the little Satan".

"The British should get it out of their heads to act like they used to," said Hassan Asghari, an angry middle-aged man in a green felt jacket. "They have a very bad record here but must learn the colonial days are over. Now they're so weak all they can do is follow America."

This article goes on to find anonymous people elsewhere in Iran who wish for no wars and are scared of the British barking poodle but it seems to me the guys we must fight, the ones screaming for us to die, are itching to fight and and see us die. So pretending the President of Iran is weak and unpopular (pray tell, compared to whom?) is useless when a slightly unpopular leader in Iran is confronting a hugely unpopular leader in either the USA or UK!

I know of few outside of the Zionist lobby who want war with Iran. Most sane people wanting disarmament want to disarm the USA even more than they want Iran disarmed. The farce over disarmament is all about turning Muslims into victims or slaves. As Mao said, 'Power grows out of the barrel of a Silkworm DU tipped missile' or something along those lines.

It is nice to see the British poodle backing down but Blair won't get out of this fix so easily. Now he must practice the art of petting a very claw-happy Iranian pussy cat. Meow, hisss.

From the Washington Post:

- Israel's prime minister said Saturday he's not ready to order a large-scale military operation in Gaza, despite the military's warnings of a Hamas arms buildup in the coastal territory.

Israel fears that the Islamic militant Hamas is trying to copy the tactics of the Lebanese guerrilla group Hezbollah, which fought Israel to a draw in last summer's war in Lebanon.

The clever attempts at splitting apart Islamic unity is failing. The USA pretended we would protect everyone under our nuclear umbrella and big navy. Now that Iran has forced the USA/British/French imperial fleet to exit the Persian Gulf (wonder why it is named after that cat, heh) the rest of the Islamic rulers know they stand naked to Iran's counter-attacks if they dare allow so much as a wren to fly over with bombs from either Israel or the empire's axis at sea.

Basically, they are suing for peace now and have decided to return to the nettlesome issue of Palestine. Condi was not even allowed to darken the latest meeting of Arab leaders. And they gave Israel an ultimatum which Olmert tossed aside. Quickly, Hezbollah is rearming and getting ready for another round of fighting and the Leader in the House in Congress is over in the Middle East bouncing between Syria and Israel trying to find some sort of deal which Israel has zero intention of making or honoring. So long as money flows from Congress to the Knesset, the present stand-off will continue to spark wars and destroy our entire foreign policy initiatives nearly everywhere there are Muslims.

From the Washington Post:

A high-level al-Qaeda suspect who was in CIA custody for more than four years has alleged that his American captors tortured him into making false confessions about terrorist attacks in the Middle East, according to newly released Pentagon transcripts of a March 14 military tribunal hearing here.

Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri, who U.S. officials believe was involved in the bombings of two U.S. embassies in East Africa in 1998 and who allegedly organized the attack on the USS Cole in Yemen in 2000, told a panel of military officers that he was repeatedly tortured during his imprisonment and that he admitted taking part in numerous terrorism plots because of the mistreatment.

And all the sudden 'confessions' of all the people we have illegally and unconstitutionally and against the Geneva Conventions, held in eternal imprisonment are turning into dust as all the victims of our neo-Stalinistic gulags claim they were tortured.

And they were. Worse, the confessions are pure Stalinist crap. Many neo-cons were once Stalinists or studied in college with renegade Troskyites. Whatever they were, they were police state totalitarians. I used to debate them in college. They usually resort to threats of violence which is why I loved debating them because back then, I loved fighting a great deal. Throwing chairs or punches could be vastly amusing. I knew when they gained power via the GOP they would lead us into wars that they themselves can't fight, they are all cowards. Like Bush and Cheney and all the GOP leaders.

Like the murder of Saddam's sons and nephew then the vicious executions after kangaroo court trials have back fired, so have these confessions. Everyone knows the USA tortures prisoners. The kid from Australia that we are soon to release is forbidden to talk about the nefarious and illegal torture we inflicted upon him. Of course, the minute he escapes from our grip and is no longer in our gulags, he will tell the truth. Then we will watch our lying politicians lie about the charges. Arrest them all. Torture is illegal and amoral. And agaisnt the damn Constitution of the damn United States.

From Associated Press:

Just seven days after Pat Tillman's death, a top general warned there were strong indications that it was friendly fire and President Bush might embarrass himself if he said the NFL star-turned-soldier died in an ambush, according to a memo obtained by The Associated Press.

It was not until a month afterward that the Pentagon told the public and grieving family members the truth — that Tillman was mistakenly killed in Afghanistan by his comrades.

The memo reinforces suspicions that the Pentagon was more concerned with sparing officials from embarrassment than with leveling with Tillman's family.

After Bush and the political operatives used Tillman as a tool of propaganda, they blamed the generals trying to run wars for the mess. Well, I always say, never throw away any paperwork or emails! For out of the dark chambers of the Pentagon comes proof the generals were not at fault and the ones that did flack this death as a hero story were forced to do this by the political neo-con apparatchiks put in charge of the Pentagon. How Soviet Union does it get, anyway? Heh. Arrest Rove.

From AP again:

The U.S. military death toll in March, the first full month of the security crackdown, was nearly twice that of the Iraqi army, which American and Iraqi officials say is taking the leading role in the latest attempt to curb violence in the capital, surrounding cities and Anbar province, according to figures compiled on Saturday.

The Associated Press count of U.S. military deaths for the month was 81, including a soldier who died from non-combat causes Saturday. Figures compiled from officials in the Iraqi ministries of Defense, Health and Interior showed the Iraqi military toll was 44. The Iraqi figures showed that 165 Iraqi police were killed in March. Many of the police serve in paramilitary units.

Another Stalinist neo-con propaganda story has been how we are training the Iraqis to fight (oh, do they ever!) and the story line has been, we are helping them in this surge, not leading it or doing everything ourselves.

Well, there goes yet another fairy tale told by fools. All the police that died this last month were, to a man, blown up at their stations, not while on patrol. And the people pumping this swill should be arrested for lying to the public and Congress. Send them all to Gitmo and then return it to Cuba. Heh.

UAE Refuses Right To Fly Over Gulf

Elaine Meinel Supkis

The United States/United Kingdom empire still imagines they can use military force to get their own way. Even as other nations resist with increasing fury, we think, if we only have big enough bombs and big enough clubs, we can force everyone to submit. But this is stupid. Riots and insurrections plague both the USA and the fomer European colonial powers. And Russia and China grow closer and closer in an alliance built to clip American and European imperial powers.

From Reuters:

The United Arab Emirates, a key U.S. ally, said on Tuesday it would not be involved in any military strike on Iran, but urged the Islamic Republic to avoid regional tensions.

"The UAE is an independent and sovereign state that rejects the use of its territories, air or regional waters to attack any country, especially if it is a neighbour and Muslim," President Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed al-Nahayan told Arab newspaper al-Hayat.

"We have informed the Iranian brothers ... that we are not party to its conflict with the United States and will not allow our territories to be used for any military, security or spy activities against it."

BANG! The door to the entire Persian Gulf swings shut in our faces! This is the end of war dreams. Even as Blair uses the captured sailors as a club to attack Iran, this peeters out due to the reality, our adventure in Lawrence of Stupidia is coming to an end.

The Iranians won a significant victory here. I'd say, they won their confrontation with us. Meanwhile, our navies continue to play war games and menace the peace.

From Prison Planet:

Paul Joseph Watson

Russian news outlets are reporting that such activity represents, "Heightened U.S. military preparations for both an air and ground operation against Iran," that closely resembles the situation immediately before the invasion of Iraq in March 2003.

British Prime Minister Tony Blair has given the Iranians just days to return the marines safely before harsher steps are taken.

It's difficult to know who to trust concerning exactly whose waters the marines were in, Iraq's or Iran's, when Ahmadinejad's slender grip on power survives only by feeding his own population war propaganda, while Bush and Blair have become the very iconography of deceit in the modern age.

The USA and other European powers have parked many hostile ships just off shore of Muslim nations which the Europeans have tried to colonize and control since the fall of the Ottoman Empire. Instead of Teddy Roosevelt's 'speak softly and carry a large stick' we have chosen a diplomatic philosophy of 'shock and awe' which means to 'bellow like a lunatic and wave a big weapon of mass destruction.'

This childish diplomacy is sowing the wind and reaping the whirlwind. There is no earthly reason for the USA to be doing this but this is the only way the religious dictatorship of Israel can exist, surrounded by Muslim dictatorships.

The only safe haven for Jews in the Middle East would be to have real democracies coupled with everyone having a Constitution that forbids mingling of Church and State. But Jews have this in America and under this Constitution, have not only flourished but enjoyed vast political influence. Instead of transplanting this wonderful system we created here, they chose the religious dictatorship terrorist state model so beloved by so many Muslim nations.

Since we are politically hitched to Israel, this means the USA is spreading religious wars and terrorism. Indeed, the entire concept of 'shock and awe' is all about terrorizing people. Our building of ever-bigger bombs, improving our nuclear arsenal, our ringing Russia and China with nuclear missiles, everything we are doing is terroristic and expansionist.

Today, we are flying military jets armed with WMD all over the Middle East in a vile attempt at scaring Iran into disarming. This is stupid. If I were a small woman and facing a gang of big men armed with many weapons, I would run to the nearest store to buy myself a nuclear missile. If these thugs were yelling they will kill me, I would shoot first, too.

So the entire concept of disarmament by threatening to nuke people is obviously demented. The people doing this should be arrested. Arrest Bush, Cheney and Blair. They are the Axis of Evil here.

Iran, unlike the USA, has been practicing diplomacy. We can't see it because it is not directed at us, it is being practiced with others. Everyone does business with the Anglo American empire so they don't want to rock that boat. And this is because these nations all run trade surpluses with the USA and want to keep this going as long as possible.

None of them like us and if we poll the populations of these nations, the hatred of the USA is intense and the thought that our actions are bankrupting us gives them all great glee. For the entire world is watching our ship sink. Far from feeling sorry for us, the day our nation goes officially bankrupt and the International Monetary Fund forces us to pay our debts while we starve to death, will be greeted with tremendous expressions of jubilation elsewhere.

All the nations we defeated in WWII will be smug. All the communist powers we defeated in the Cold War will be laughing. All the nations we have menaced will sneer.

From Xinhuanet:

Arab leaders are arriving in the Saudi capital of Riyadh for a summit due on March 28-29, during which a Riyadh-proposed Arab peace initiative is expected to be the centerpiece as the United States and Israel have recently shown interest to the plan.

At a press conference on Monday after the opening session of the Arab foreign ministerial meeting in preparations for the upcoming 19th Arab summit, Arab League (AL) Secretary General Amr Moussa and host Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Saud al-Faisal have confirmed the expectation, while stressing that no amendment will be there on the Arab peace initiative.

The Saudis have many controls deep within our government starting with Bush and Cheney. Cheney's Halliburton stronghold is relocating to the United Arab Emirites, for example. The Bush clan is intimately involved with the bin Laden family too. As Bush bankrupts America, we should remember that bin Laden's plan for the USA is to bankrupt us.

Even if Bush isn't doing this intentionally, he should be arrested for having close ties to the very people destroying us. Bin Laden's brother and father both died in Texas while flying planes owned by the Bush family. The connection between flying planes crashing and the bin Ladens and Bushes are seeped in mystical connections.

Bin Laden is using various portals to prepare America for our expected crash. So now that economic situations are deteriorating here, the last thing we can do is battle bin Laden. His victory is assured thanks to traitors in the USA who thought power means allowing people to loot their own country which is why our wars are ridiculously expensive and ridiculously inept.

The Saudis know they have to stop Israel's conquest of Palestine if they want to keep their own heads. Both the Shi'ites and bin Laden's revolutionaries are eager to destroy the corrupt Saudi Royals. They, in turn, have to prove they are defenders of Islam and not dogs of Israel.

So now they will stand behind the Palestinians and begin to make demands. The tension here is obvious. We cannot dominate Islam if they are all fighting us. To prevent a growing sense of unity, we have been encouraging tribal tensions. But this is backfiring badly since they all hate us more than each other and have ended up shoving us into each other as one side then the other destroys our military on the ground.

From Forbes:

The U.S. Navy on Tuesday began its largest demonstration of force in the Persian Gulf since the 2003 invasion of Iraq, led by a pair of aircraft carriers and backed by warplanes flying simulated attack maneuvers off the coast of Iran.

The maneuvers bring together two strike groups of U.S. warships and more than 100 U.S. warplanes to conduct simulated air warfare in the crowded Gulf shipping lanes.

A French naval strike group, led by the aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle, was operating simultaneously just outside the Gulf. But the French ships were supporting the NATO forces in Afghanistan and not taking part in the U.S. maneuvers, officials said.

This show of foce is a show of weaknesses. For right on top of our little war game, Iran plays hardball and establishes their claims on the Gulf.

From the BBC:

Satellite data proves 15 navy personnel being held in Iran were 1.7 nautical miles inside Iraqi waters when they were seized, UK defence officials say.
*snip*
Speaking shortly after the briefing, Mr Blair told MPs it was time to increase pressure on Iran "in order to make sure the Iranian government understands their total isolation on this issue".

I was wondering when they would put an 'x' on the spot where the dispute took place. Now all Britain has to do is be diplomatic and play the game of 'It's OK, we are not menacing you, please back down and we will too'.

Only they are not. Far from being 'isolated' on this matter, Iran's daring deeds are applauded in the streets of every Muslim nation. The leaders are put on a hot spot for they now have to choose between siding with the Christian and Jewish aggressors destroying the Iraqi people or side with Muslims. If Britain wanted those sailors returned, all they have to do is ask Muslim leaders to do some diplomacy for Britain.

This means, of course, accepting the fact that Blair, an alien who is a born again Christian, is not in charge.

While the imperial empires burn internally, it seems to me, stupid that we are wasting our energy, money and power, trying to control the streets of all Muslim lands. Since we are not welcome nor wanted, we should butt out. And then go home and stop the gangs and riots.

From Agence France Presse:

French police used tear gas to clear out 100 youths from a major Paris subway station on Tuesday after a row over a ticket at the Gare du Nord station descended into a riot.

Officers arrested at least nine people and two others were injured when the clashed with police at the station, where the mainline Eurostar and Thalys terminals are a major gateway from Paris to the rest of Europe.

Welcome to summer in the empires! I remember the Vietnam war because our cities were burning faster than cities in Vietnam that we were dropping weapons of mass destruction on! To this day, most cores of most cities in America are dead zones. I used to work with criminals from the central ward of Newark. It was a dangerous place to go back in the 1980's even. I had to have body guards. With guns.

I was one of the few white women allowed to address Nation of Islam mosques. I talked about establishing law and order and how to talk to judges who were white and how to use political power to stop the riots and rot inflicted upon the black community.

I was Mrs. Levy back then yet found I could talk to very suspicious people because I could see their point of view from the start. And this is what is missing in our Middle Eastern policies: we have the wrong point of view.

Thanks to religious bigotry and the complex mix of religion and politics in America, we have gotten off of the wrong side of the bed and now are fighting a quarter of the world's population. And with Russia and China in alliance, this could swiftly turn into half of the world's populations!

To stop this, we must stop desiring real estate in the Middle East and begin to act liberal and push for everyone to seperate religion from the state for this causes wars and destruction as our Founding Fathers knew all too well.

From the Observer:

Boyle's Los Angeles is where an estimated 120,000 gang members across five counties battle over turf, pride and drugs. It is a city of violence as a new race war escalates between new Hispanic gangs and older black groups, each trying to ethnically cleanse the other. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, who has referred to his city as 'the gang capital of America', has launched a crackdown on the new threat.

During the years the USA claimed we must spend nearly a trillion a year defending ourselves, we let our borders open wide and a flood of illegal immigrants came in. Now we see a repeat of disintigration of law and order in the center of all our cities. All it takes is one match to set them afire.

I have lived through race and ethnic riots. When we had one in New York City, I went to both the Nation of Islam and a collection of pan-African churches and suggested we begin to simply walk, in a large group, up and down the neighborhood and to call on everyone to put out the fires and clean up. I was the only white person doing this. I could have been killed but ignored this possiblity.

Unarmed and open, I joined the brave men and women, some of whom were very old, walking all day in the smoldering ruins. After this, I worked to establish a street patrol. Then I got everyone to join the Precinct Council because we were all worried the police would make things worse, not better.

As we go off the financial cliff, the possibility of all our cities burning and going dead is very, very real. As real estate is abandoned, the vast majority of the sub-prime loans having gone to people at the bottom of the economic ladder, keeping all our attention and money far from home in vain attempts at keeping Japan and Israel safe from their neighbors is suicidal.

Our troops are being abused, too. Not just the scandals surrounding the VA, the need to pretend wounded soldiers are eager to return to Iraq is pure fiction.
From Salon:

Hernandez says he was in no shape to train for war so soon after his injury. "I could not walk," he told Salon in an interview. He said he was amazed when he learned he was being sent to California. "Did they not realize that I'm hurt and I needed this physical therapy?" he remembered thinking. "I was told by my doctor and my physical therapist that this was crazy."

Hernandez had served two tours in Iraq, where he helped maintain communications gear in the unit's armored Bradley Fighting Vehicles. But he could not participate in war maneuvers conducted on a 1,000-square-mile mock battlefield located in the harsh Mojave Desert. Instead, when he got to California, he was led to a large tent where he would be housed. He was shocked by what he saw inside: There were dozens of other hurt soldiers. Some were on crutches, and others had arms in slings. Some had debilitating back injuries. And nearby was another tent, housing female soldiers with health issues ranging from injuries to pregnancy.

Just this week, I talked about the New York Time's article about the anti war play in a high school which was turned into a pro-war play and one item the principal was most eager to insert was a claim that a woman who had her leg blasted off wanted to go back there to fight some more!

Now the cat is out of the bag and the reality is, these poor people are being forced at gun point to go back. And like with Vietnam, this back-door drafting of the innercity poor is going to backfire the exact same way: they will come home and wage war in the streets here in America.

And like back during the Cold War, we are still in a space race. Americans forget that Russia beat us at nearly every turn except the one triumph we had: putting a man on the moon. But this time around, not only are we going bankrupt, we have lost our space program entirely. The space shuttle doesn't even pretend to fly anymore, our astronauts are a joke with the diaper-wearing nut case trying to kidnap her sexual rival in a Miss Piggy in Outerspace episode straight out of the Muppet Show.

From China News:

China and Russia have agreed to jointly send a probe to Mars and its moon, Phobos, in 2009, China News Service reported today.

Russia will launch an explorer Phobos-Grunt carrying a Chinese-made exploration device to conduct the task and take samples of Phobos soil, according to a statement signed yesterday by Sun Laiyan, chief of the China National Space Administration, and his Russian counterpart.

The go-it-alone belligerent attitude is working just great! Bush said we are going to Mars but I say, we are going straight to hell.

And Congress better impeach Bush and Cheney. Now. Time is growing short.

Military Madness Leads To Bankruptcy

This is Elaine Meinel Supkis reporting for Culture of Life News


Russia and China cement their alliance as the USA struggles with Iraq. The USA continues to menace Iran while simultaneously developing ever greater WMD. Candidates for President here try to out-warmonger each other and the Burmese military dicatatorship destroys that tiny nation.

From Xinhuanet:

Visiting Chinese President Hu Jintao and Russian President Vladimir Putin took part in the opening ceremony of the Chinese National Exhibition in Moscow on Tuesday.

During the ceremony, Hu and Putin spoke highly of the all-round cooperation between the two countries and pledged to push forward the Sino-Russian strategic partnership.

This is a reminder for the US that other nations are continuing to form alliances. A rule of thumb is, when any empire becomes too strong, all other nations begin to gravitate to a new center of power. This is why all successful periods of peace are when a constellation of great powers balance each other.

Under pressure, the oddest couples merge such as when China and the USA formed an alliance in order to help the American military retreat from Vietnam. Vietnam's closest ally was Russia and China resented being squeezed in a pincher-action which is why they allowed us to bomb North Vietnam with great intensity.

Meanwhile, we were not allowed to drop so much as a firecracker on North Korea.

In this case, Bush and the neo cons have shoved Russia and China together and their alliance is growing swiftly. They are the world's two biggest landmass/population entities when considered together. And they hold a nearly a quarter of the world's FOREX reserves according to the IMF.

Russia is one of if not the biggest energy exporting nations on earth and China is one of the top manufacturing nations on earth. If I were a military commander looking to build a nationalist machine to dominate the earth, this is it. When one considers the military equipment designed and installed by Russia who matched the USA weapon for weapon during the entire Cold War, this is a military leader's wet dream of an alliance.

From Mosnews:

Visiting Chinese President Hu Jintao and Russian leader Vladimir Putin called Monday for peaceful solutions to the crises over Iran and North Korea’s nuclear programs, the Reuters news agency reports.

The two leaders, who hope to counter Washington’s clout by promoting internationally agreed solutions to world crises, said in a joint declaration that they shared a common position on big global issues.

“I would like to emphasize with satisfaction that the positions of Russia and China on all the issues discussed either coincide or are similar,” Putin said.

Russia and China are playing a very delicate balancing operation here: they want the USA to stay mired in Iraq because the leadership of this new alliance understands we are bleeding to death, financially and morally, in that terrible war we launched and keeping us trapped there means Russia and China will become stronger and stronger.

They also don't want nuclear weapons to spread because like the USA and European empires, they love being able to bully everyone using their nuclear bombs. This is why all nuclear nations hold these weapons dear and won't part with even the tinniest bomb. Like the USA, they love to spook everyone with the specter of nuclear war and use this to disarm their future victims.

Iran understands it has no friends while it tries to join this frightful, vicious club of nuclear blackmailers but it has decided it is life and death to arm itself. Being Shi'ite, it doesn't care if the USA, working for their Saudi owners, strongarms all Sunni nations like Indonesia to support suppressing the Shi'ites. This has been going on for many years, nearly a thousand years and Iran always considers itself to be alone.

Both Russia and China have told Iran they would not let anyone invade if Iran disarms. But Iran cannot and should not trust them. This is because they stood aside and let the USA and UK invade Iraq. In the end, no nation should ever trust any other nation when it comes to protection and sovereignty. This goes for us, too.

We can clearly see this with Israel. Supporters of that state will cheerfully destroy things of great importance to the mass of American people if it furthers the ends of the Israeli state. They don't care if economic chaos or loss of status eats away at the American state if they can extend their own borders and give themselves more power. Our own nation struggles under the burden of serving Israel and this is definitely taking a toll on our own interests. Nations that forget their own interests don't last very long.

Even as the volume is turned up to the max with us screaming about Weapons of Mass Destruction, we continue to design and build the world's biggest WMD.

From Xinhua Net:

The United States has successfully tested a huge aerial bomb designed to destroy hardened targets, such as deeply buried nuclear sites, the Pentagon said on Monday.
*snip*
The MOP's "effectiveness against hard and deeply buried targets" allows it to "hold adversaries' most highly valued military facilities at risk, especially those protecting weapons of mass destruction," it said.

The MOP program was launched in 2004 under a 30-million-U.S.-dollar military contract awarded to Boeing.

The Chinese aren't even slightly worried about this new bunker-buster. It uses GPS to reach its target and the Chinese already demonstrated to us, all our military satellites are toast. So these weapons can only be used against non-nuclear nations that have no space program. Of course, nations like Iran can go to China for protection and eventually, will get it.

Right now, China is still playing along with the USA when they can afford it because they are not quite finished removing all our industrial base from the USA to China. Once they get ahold of all our technology and all our manufacturing they will kick us to the curb.

Most Americans can't even picture this happening. We imagine we will always dominate China politically and economically. The thought that this is all a plan and that we fell for it and are losing this game dare not darken most American's thoughts.

From the New York Times:

Mrs. Clinton, to use a phrase, has been practicing her salute. As a senator and now as a presidential candidate, she has cultivated relationships with generals and admirals, prepped herself on wartime needs and strategy, and traveled to Iraq and Afghanistan.
*snip*
It is also part of an effort to shed the image some voters hold of her as an antimilitary liberal, defined by her opposition to the Vietnam War and, now, by her criticism of the Bush administration’s conduct of the war in Iraq.
*snip*
Donald L. Kerrick, a retired general and former deputy national security adviser to President Clinton, acknowledged that some people inside and outside the military were skeptical of Mrs. Clinton’s intentions and wary that she would shift federal dollars to domestic programs like health care.

The war in Iraq is of such growing intense unpopularity, no one should be able to run for office on a pro-war platform. To keep up the fiction that we are the world's most powerful military, almost all the candidates are claiming the war was badly run and they would run smart wars.

Instead of debating the wisdom of wasting much of our political capital and running up huge debts to fund a world-girdling military machine that doesn't even pretend to protect the USA, most candidates want to pretend we can keep this business going to infinity. This irresponsible militarist attitude permeates our media and our media works for the military/industrial complex that is increasingly owned by foreigners who want us to fight their wars for their own ends.

Right on the heels of 9/11 I expected a debate about the thinness of protection we had in America. In NY state, the government shut down nearly all the military airforce bases and the hijacked jets happily flew right over these closed bases and I'm certain Atta laughed all the way, for example, he deliberately flew out of his way to go over the Rome airport. The DC jet that was hijacked made a mysterious loop right over the top secret nuclear bunkers in West Virginia before slamming into the Pentagon.

Instead, we were told we must hold down the entire planet and prevent anyone from plotting against us no matter how far away they were. This is illogical since we had already spread out our military across the entire planet before the attacks and now it is simply ten times worse and we are ten times more vulnerable.

From Washington Post:

Britain is said to be preparing a new Security Council resolution. But if the European Union leaders mean what they say, they don't need to wait for the Security Council. E.U. sanctions against Sudan are relatively light; they could be extended to cover trade and investment. Mr. Blair spoke of imposing a no-fly zone to impede air attacks in Darfur. That's an operation that would necessarily be carried out by Western powers, which could undertake it without U.N. sanction, as they did in Kosovo. If the situation in Darfur is "intolerable" and "unbearable" -- and it is -- Western governments should stop delaying the remedies that lie in their hands.

And here it is again: Darfur. It started out as an attempt by blood-drenched Brits and Americans to distract Europe and score points making us look like good guys, after we illegally attacked a very much disarmed Iraq. To cover up our many crimes such as torture, kidnapping, rape and murder, the media worked with the war mongers to haul out Darfur and weep and wail about Darfur and talk endlessly about how terrible the people attacking Darfur are, why they torture, kidnap, rape and murder!

Indeed, we called this 'genocide' because 200,000 people there have died! Of course, the media never ever mentions the nearly one million dead in Iraq! Not to mention the several million refugees. Just like the refugees and abused people of Palestine are not talked about much.

From the BBC:

Until now few outsiders were allowed to go there, but the foreign media has been invited to the capital to watch the huge Armed Forces Day parade.

However, it is still not clear why the generals have moved here.

The rutted and overcrowded roads of Burma suddenly give way to smooth eight-lane motorways as you approach the new capital.

Naypyidaw is being built on a vast and extravagant scale in hundreds of square kilometres of tropical scrubland.

All government employees were forced to uproot from Rangoon and move here a year-and-a-half ago.

Burma has been taken over by the military. The USA has nearly been taken over too. Military dictatorships are terrible things. They suck up all resources and start wars. Not to mention, are brutal. The American people are never allowed to support antiwar candidates because the media will always side with the military/industrial complex. So they will look for slight flaws like they did with Al Gore who went to Vietnam while hiding gross misconduct of warmongers like Bush who went AWOL while Gore served honorably.

To this day, the media won't use the words 'AWOL' next to 'Bush'. Mc Cain is a total war maniac. He imagines we can go from victory to victory if we bomb enough civilians. He was shot down over North Vietnam as we bombed civilians with impunity. He thinks we have a right to bomb civilians.

But the wheels of history grind onwards. Our military has lost its elan. Our soldiers from top to bottom have ended up wearing mud uniforms. In Iraq, we look the muddy Teenage Mutant Turtles stiffly walking around dressed as if we are ashamed of ourselves, trying desperately to look like we are part of a crumbling wall or a hole in the road.

This inspires contempt. Instead of standing out so people can see us because we are sure of ourselves, we go about the country we are trying to conquer, trying to look invisible. This leads to us murdering lots of people because our soldiers are scared and shoot anyone and everyone. So when people blunder into us because we look like mud, we murder them.

This is like living in a room filled with deadly scorpions.

And this is why everyone in Iraq hates us and why we are seeing things getting worse and worse. And no candidate for President will talk about this. No one in the media will suggest our military looks stupid wearing clothes that make us look dirty and sloppy. No one will discuss military philosophy and why patrolling is not the same as fighting a battle.

When on patrol, one is supposed to stand out and be seen! This is why cops wear uniforms. I used to argue years ago, and did so successfully, that the police need to be seen on streets, in uniform. Not in cars and certainly not undercover. No matter how many undercover agents there were and my neighborhood was blanketted with them, they spread disorder, not security.

This is because they looked and acted like criminals! Or they dressed up as drunks, for example. This made things look bad. I demanded officers in spiffy, clean uniforms for my neighborhood as a test case.

It worked. We had three murders and 40 muggings in one month. After I forced the mayor to try Captain Hill and my own strategy, crime rates dropped like a rock. I actually went around with a clip board, tracking these patrols and we tracked the amount of crime on the specific streets during the specific hours the police patrolled. The numbers were compelling.

Capt. Hill and I even had them go into the worst neighborhoods. It worked there. Some disgruntled gangs threatened to kill me. Captain Hill and I were on the news and he said he would give me a bullet proof vest.

I said, 'You are here to protect me. You stand in front of me and I support you. This is the best bullet proof vest of all.' And so it is with our own military: they should be on parade, not stuck in the mud. They should display power, not sneak around like terrorists, murdering innocent bystanders. They should be used only as a last resort not as the first line of offence.

And they shouldn't cost a fortune. Because in the end, this is all an economic race to see who will go belly-up first. And the USA is losing that battle thanks to our own side being filled with traitors out to make a buck.

Shatt Al Arabian Nights

Elaine Meinel Supkis

A right wing judge rules that a person can be held for years and still not be losing the right to a speedy trial if a government waits four years before filing charges. Then the trial must be quick. Talk about Naziism. Then there is the business about Iran: more and more, the USA clings to the corrupt Saudi despots and hopes this will 'isolate' the revolutionaries in Iran. No one dares think about bin Laden's crusade anymore.

From The Associated Press

By Curt Anderson

Miami - A federal judge refused to dismiss the terrorism support charges against alleged al-Qaida operative Jose Padilla on Friday, rejecting defense claims that his 3 1/2 years in custody as an enemy combatant violated his constitutional right to a speedy trial.

U.S. District Judge Marcia Cooke agreed with prosecutors that Padilla's years in isolation at a Navy brig did not count because he had not yet been charged.

The criminal charges came when Padilla was added to an existing Miami terrorism support indictment in November 2005. Only then did the clock start for the Sixth Amendment's right to a "speedy and public trial," Cooke said.

"I agree that the law in this case is that a criminal trial proceeding begins with the filing of the criminal process," Cooke said. "Mr. Padilla has been promptly brought to court in that matter."

And so dies the American republic. This ruling basically says, anyone can be arrested for 'treason' and then tortured and held for years and years but only after the government files charges unrelated to the origianl writ of arrest at the beginning but new charges based on years of torture of citizens and kidnapped foreigners, THEN a speedy trial can be gallopped through as fast as possible!

Why bother with trials at this point? If someone can be held and not allowed access to lawyers and then tortured brutally, this is exactly what our Founding Fathers were the most paranoid about. We call this 'tyranny' and this makes our nation more and more like some of its brutal allies such as the thoroughly evil dictatorship of Saudi Arabia.

As the nuclear military empires who control the Security Council at the UN strive mightily to prevent other nations from joining them in building powerful military forces and of course, the totally necessary nuclear bombs, the few countries (Israel owns the USA's entire diplomatic apparatus so they don't need a seat) that have nukes already are most anxious to keep their monopoly on world power. So they are shoving Iran around.

If there was ever a country that needs nukes for self-protection, that country is Iran! As the USA and British empires struggle to establish their colonial bases in Iraq, they are constantly provoking Iran. Recently, they have arrested Iranian diplomatic staff. Of course, this sort of activity is OK with us but if the Iranians do this, then it is pure evil.

At first, getting a map showing exactly where the Iranians arrested the British invaders was nearly impossible to get. Like with the border incidents Israel used as an excuse to attack its neighbors with tremendous force and brutality, the claims by the Brits that they were no invading Iran's waters have no validity so far nor would the military produce a map with a simple 'x' to mark the spot.

The BBC did release this satellite image that shows generally where it happened but didn't mark any lines showing where the divisions lie. The Israli Defense Forces made various spurious claims about their 'kidnapped' soldiers---who are still missing and still held---which they would not allow any outsiders investigate.

Many of us online have been waiting for our own empires to make the same situation happen so we could bomb Iran. We even said last month it would happen around the 22nd or 23rd of March, these being auspicious Masonic/Skull and Bones days and of course, it happened right on schedule.

Unlike Israel who could use the excuse, the 'kidnappings' were endangering Israel, neither the USA nor Britain can make similiar excuses so they are, instead, using hook and crook, more crook than hook, to get the world to greenlight an attack in Iran.

Bribes, lies and offers to let China ravage our own industrial base even further, is being used as a lure to get China and Russia to stop protecting Iran and let us invade. The willingness to sell off our vital resources so we can go on yet more dangerous military adventures even in the face of voter disapproval in America, is a sign of imperial rot.

Of course, neither Iran nor Iraq have menaced the USA in any form in the past. We have certainly menaced both in the past! Our belief that we get to control events there is very strong and Israel and Saudi Arabia both want us to spend a half a trillion a year, keeping their foes at bay. This might be good for them but it is insanity for us.

Britain is even in a sadder state: the country is seeing health care collapse, gangs of youth run through the streets, killing, raping and destroying property. Whole sectors of education and welfare are in dire straits. One would imagine, Britain would want their troops patrolling the Thames not the Shatt al Arab.

As a nuclear power, Britain has to suppress internal dissent in brutal ways to prevent their own citizens from having any say. Recently, Blair announced he will spend billions on more, newer nuclear subs and more nuclear missiles. His own party was agast and there were protests but he is going to cling to these nukes and extend their power because he, like our emperor, is arrogant and a hypocrite.

In the past, Iran has made it clear, their sovereignty is important and like Israel, they will defend it.

From the Star Tribune:

A disconcerting sense of déjà vu surrounds Iran's capture of 15 British sailors on smuggling patrol Friday in the Persian Gulf.

Three years ago, eight British servicemen traveling in small boats up the Shatt al Arab waterway near the Iranian border found themselves surrounded by members of Iran's Revolutionary Guard, arrested, and subjected to an ordeal that included mock executions. After a few days, they were released.

The incident also has raised questions about the rules of engagement that do not allow British military officers on smuggling patrol in the Persian Gulf to return fire when confronted, a former senior Navy official said Saturday.

The USA's Pentagon boasted today that we will shoot anyone who tries to stop us from invading their soverign spaces. I suppose the Pentagon feels it is OK to invade other countries, we did it to Iraq and the Pentagon deliberately refused to defend America when we were attacked on 9/11 so the concept of sovereignty is alien to the wizzes in the magic star in Arlington.

But expecting the Iranians to be equally stupid is dumb. And if we go into Iranian space and then shoot at them, isn't this what the Israelis accused Hezbollah of? Namely, Hezbollah invaded across the border by a mere few yards and attacked?

Since the USA backed Israel in that matter, shouldn't other nations back Iran if they attack us if we shoot at them while invading their space? The Brits are now saying the waters where this thing happened (still no maps showing the exact spot) are 'disputed' therefore questionable.

To me, this means they were pushing the envelope. And since a million people died or were badly disabled fighting over these very same waters during the Iran/Iraq war, one would think the invading Brits would show more caution, right?

Yeah, right.

From the BBC two years ago:

Friday, 11 November 2005, 11:35 GMT

A British couple and an Australian yachtsman ran into trouble when they sailed towards a disputed island in the Strait of Hormuz, between Iran and the United Arab Emirates.

Even civilians are not allowed to meddle with Iranian sovereignty. Actually, try sailing close to any American or British base in any part of the planet and there are over 1,000 such bases located in many odd places. The same thing happens but doesn't make the news because the news only reports stuff the empires want the world to know. Thanks to the internet, this is harder to do today.

Last year, there was a diplomatic fracas over a similar incident. From the BBC:

An Iranian court has sentenced two Swedish men to three years in prison for photographing military facilities.

According to Swedish media, the men took pictures of military buildings on Qeshm, an Iranian island.

Because the West hates upstart revolutionaries who interfer with European/American sucking down of national resources of captive nations, there is great hostility between the Iranians and the multi-level empires. NATO, for example, is an extention of the American empire, built after WWII to counter the Soviet military powers.

Iran uses a rather crude form of diplomacy but this is because they are weak. They have no nukes so they constantly have to be a scratchy kitty cat which is why I cartoon them as such. And this cat can certainly scratch us badly. Petting this kitty and giving it milk would go a long ways only the rich Saudis hate this cat and want us to kill it. On top of this, the Israeli Jewish leadership want the cat dead, too.

Which, again, is why it wants its own nukes.

Here is the Wikipedia background of Shatt al Arab:

The British advisors in Iraq were able to keep the waterway bi-national under the thalweg principle that has worked in Europe (see Danube River): the dividing line was the middle of the waterway. All United Nations attempts to intervene as mediators were rebuffed. Under Saddam Hussein, Baathist Iraq claimed the 200-kilometer navigable channel up to the Iranian shore as its territory. But in 1975, Iraq signed the Algiers Accord in which it recognized the line running down the middle of the waterway, as the official border. However, in 1980, Saddam abrogated the treaty he signed, and Iraq invaded Iran. The main thrust of the military movement on the ground was across Shatt al-Arab. The waterway was the stage for most of the military battles between the two armies. The Shatt al-Arab waterway was Iraq's only outlet to the Persian Gulf, and thus, its shipping lanes were greatly affected by continuous Iranian attacks. When the al-Faw peninsula was captured by the Iranians in 1987, Iraq's shipping activities virtually came to a halt and had to be diverted to other Arab ports, such as Kuwait and even Aqaba, Jordan. Later, and as the Persian Gulf War was looming, Saddam again recognized the Algiers Accord in order to appease Iranians before he could undertake an invasion of Kuwait.

Here is a Christian Science editorial which pretty much sums up the American and Saudi view of this matter:

Iran sent a belligerent warning last Friday: It seized 15 British sailors and marines in the Persian Gulf. The hostile move wasn't aimed only at London. It came just before anti-Iran moves by the UN Security Council and Sunni Arab nations. The real message? "Don't fence us in."

Tehran's radical Shiite regime faces an unusual partnership of foes opposed to its regional and nuclear ambitions. The United States and Saudi Arabia, either working separately or together, have rallied friends and allies to isolate Iran by adept diplomacy.

On Saturday, for example, the United Nations Security Council voted 15 to 0 to toughen sanctions on Iran for its failure to suspend suspect nuclear activities. The first sanctions were imposed in December. If Iran doesn't suspend uranium enrichment within two months, the UN may apply further pressure, or at least nod to efforts by some nations to divest from Iran.

What is so unusual of the USA and the corrupt, vicious rulers of Saudi Arabia cooperating? The Saudis were put in charge of that land by the British, ever hear of Lawrence of Arabia? And they themselves were radical Islamics who attacked and brutally suppressed all other expressions of culture when they swept into Mecca? And to this day, are the most radical of the Islamic nations, suppressing women the worst of all nations, holding slaves, brutalizing minorities?

These are our allies? Whew. We work with them because of the oil. We want that oil and we will allow them to do whatever they want in return. Far from being the bulwark of liberal western values, they are the exact opposite!

On top of that, the ruling families are leeches, corrupt to the core and very unpopular! Just recently, Tony Blair killed an investigation concerning British companies bribing Saudi royals. These royals go about America, corrupting our politicians. This corruption is at the core of our unhealthy and stupid alliance with Saudi's royals. They own the Bush family.

This stupid editorial continues:

The Saudis are also expected to use this Arab summit to reassert their 2002 peace offer to Israel. If Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice gets her way (she's on her fourth Middle East trip in four months), the Saudis might engage more directly with Israel. Meanwhile, the US must continue to engage with elements of the new Hamas-led government, such as the non-Hamas foreign minister and finance minister.

The US and Saudi Arabia do have differences over how to isolate Iran, such as in bolstering Hamas. But both have an interest in weakening Iran's influence in Iraq and in ending its nuclear ambitions. In fact, Saturday's UN resolution goes beyond the nuclear issue to freeze the assets of commanders in the Iranian Revolutionary Guard and its military unit, the Quds Force, which has ties to militant groups in Iraq and Lebanon.

A bolder Saudi Arabia and a more diplomatic US could make a good team in curbing radical Islamists in the Middle East.

Hahaha. We are going to 'curb radical Islamists' by teaming up with the most radical Islamists of all, the Wahhabists? And what about bin Laden? His entire business is his accusations, the Saudi royals are hypocrites, corrupt, venal and unislamic because they drink wine and break all the rules in private or when they travel overseas which they do a great deal.

And they impose this hideous rule upon the people in Saudi Arabia, rules they totally evade themselves. And this makes them highly unpopular. In countless ways. And indeed, the reason bin Laden attacked us on 9/11 with the connivance of Bush, of course, was because of our allliance with the Saudi royals!

And this is the revolution we should fear. It is gaining ground in Afghanistan, Iraq and Saudi Arabia. As well as Pakistan. Pakistan has seen a break down of the legal system when the dictator threw out a popular judge. Well, Pakistan has nukes. And the revolutionaries want these nukes and are focusing on Pakistan right now, not Saudi Arabia.

But they will turn back to Saudi Arabia in good time. The USA is playing with fire here. If we imagine having the Saudis talk to the Jews running Palestine will fix things, this is totally nutty.

Because this is the number one reason bin Laden is calling on all Muslims to fight us. To fight for Jerusalem, to clean Mecca. To overthrow and bankrupt the American empire.

As a side dish, here is a snippet from an old National Geographic concerning the Vietnam war. Vietnam and all of southeast Asia fell apart as we spent a fortune and many lives, trying to fix things. This week, quite a few Americans died in Iraq as we thrashed abou there. Seems we have learned nothing, have we?

US Troops Imitating Janjaweed Arabs

Elaine Meinel Supkis

We have caused the deaths of over a million Iraqis and millions are displaced yet, like clockwork, the reporters are sent to Darfur to tell us all about the terrible things happening there and of course, suggesting we should perhaps agitate to invade and 'fix' things there. This is pure garbage on many levels.

Time to revive the whole Darfur business!

From the Washington Post
By Stephanie McCrummen

KUTERI, Sudan -- The men with rifles lounged on a carpet in the sand. The five of them had come to the village that morning from the crumble of mountains nearby, and now the afternoon sun was blasting. Some sipped tea.

Since arriving four years ago in a herd of horses and camels and guns, the militiamen known as Janjaweed have killed several of the 500 people who live here, villagers said, beaten others and generally menaced the population into believing that their village could be destroyed at any moment, like hundreds of others across the Darfur region of western Sudan.

Ms. McCrummen can't go to most of Iraq or Afghanistan because both places are nearly totally out of our control now. As our troops terrorize the Sunni on behalf of the Shi'ite government, as our troops die every day over there, we are supposed to be upset about people doing the same exact thing in Darfur.

There is a big difference, though: we can stop troops from hanging out, killing civilians, by leaving Iraq tomorrow. We have no control over Darfur. So why can't the warmongering Washington Post suggest removing all our troops from the Middle East and stationing them in Darfur?

Here is a video from Information Clearing House. com, of a group of soldiers camped out on a roof-top. They come under sniper fire so they go completely insane as if they were playing a video game, shooting everyone in sight.

It is painfully obvious that we are exactly what the Janjaweed horsemen are to Darfur. I have seen videos made by our troops showing them driving rapidly around Baghdad, literally shoving cars ahead of them, out of the way. In the WP article, the reporter says, horsemen are riding up and down the dusty village streets, scaring the farmers.

But they are on horseback. We use armorplated vehicles.

The Arabs fighting for control of resources in Africa are just like us only we are supposedly the richest nation on earth and here we are, acting like weed-chewing desert raiders, off to Iraq to steal all that oil and control the Middle East so we can colonize it.

Here is a gang of Janjaweed Americans on trial for murdering an innocent Iraqi:

From Raw Story: The killing took place in the early morning darkness of April 26, when a "snatch party" of three Marines and a medic set out to kill and make an example of a suspected insurgent named Saleh Gowad, who'd been captured and released many times, according to testimony. Not finding him, they went next door and seized the sleeping Awad from his home, while the four remaining squad members waited nearby.

They men allegedly flexicuffed Awad's hands and marched him about a half-mile to a bomb crater, where they bound his feet and positioned him with a stolen shovel and an AK-47. Then they returned to an attack position and shot him.

I have seen many videos and read many stories that make it clear, our military is becoming more and more like the Janjaweed Arabs. Last year, I thought the entire focus on Darfur while pushing for war in Lebanon, Palestine, Iran, Iraq and Afghanistan, not to mention Syria, was because of Israel-Zionist dreams of world domination.

But it is also a means of making us feel good about ourselves even as we are descending to the level of Janjaweedism. Indeed, since most of America is popping mood pills anyway, not to mention drinking lots of beer and other stuff, we are certainly more hyped-up for going crazy. Indeed, these desert nomads who are doing what their culture has done for the last 2,000+ years, are sober in comparison to a typical American after 5pm.

From the BBC: Iraq's vice-president has warned that a quick withdrawal of US troops could worsen the security situation in Iraq.
Tareq al-Hashemi responded after the US House of Representatives passed a bill imposing a deadline for all US troops to leave Iraq by 31 August 2008.

Mr Hashemi said replacing US troops with poorly-trained Iraqis whose loyalty was questionable would create a security vacuum.

Since when have other governments had veto power over whether or not we station troops somewhere? Don't tell me, I know that all nations trump the American people in this regard. Our government, despite the fiction of elections, isn't owned by us, it is owned by whoever foots the bills or extends the loans.

Thanks to tax-cutting, our ability to control our own government is now greatly diminished. If a government in Iraq can't trust their own troops then something is terribly wrong and we can't fix it. In many nations, we control things via massive bribes. Egypt, for example. Or Pakistan. This expensive solution simply makes things worse here at home.

Just this week, I read that contraceptives on campuses will cost more than twice as much in order to save money. All over America, our govenment is striving to nickle and dime us to death trying to patch the ricketty ship of state that is sinking due to foreign adventures and obligations which cost nearly a trillion dollars a year.

Lest we forget, both China and Japan have a trillion dollars in their FOREX reserves. We have many trillions in debts.

Everyone knows the majority of Americans are sick of Iraq and frankly, sick of hearing about Darfur. And sick of everything. Including hearing about our budget deficits which seem endless. Our little scheme to spread freedom and democracy has failed. Indeed, freedom and chaos go hand in hand. And no place on earth is more chaotic than Iraq.

So we want war with Iran, of course!

From Xinhua

The United States is stepping up efforts to reach an agreement with some countries in eastern Europe on its plan to deploy a missile defence shield, the Austria Press Agency reported Friday.

The U.S. government had began to officially discuss with Polandand the Czech Republic the details of the missile defense shield plan, Mark Pekala, U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of State, said in Vienna Friday.

Meanwhile, in response to Russia's concerns over the proposals, Pekala told reporters that the defence shield would not harm Russia's national security.

With hard-faced malicious stupidity, we continue to push for a missile shield aimed at Russia. Over and over again, we claim this is to protect Poland and Prague from Iranian attacks. This is so blatantly dishonest, it fools no one yet like robots, our dopy diplomats continue to demand it. Namely, this is wildly unpopular in Europe that knows they will be vaporized if the Russians get pissed off.

Russia continues to voice strong objections to the plan, as "it would threaten the security of Russia because the systems are so close to Russian border."

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said the project would also harm cooperation and cause more disagreements between Washington and Moscow in the UN Security Council and possibly even NATO.

This is the end result of letting a bunch of retreads from the Cold War run our government. They have done everything in their considerable power to create eine Neue Macht Musik. Namely, might makes right and we are the good guys and Russia and China are the bad guys. Heck, both Russia and China are winning all the gold medals at this week's World Skating Competition in Tokyo! Just like the good old days.

There is one huge problem with this New World Order---we owe a lot of money to Russia and China. And thanks to our international/military obligations, this fund grows ever greater. Ronnie Reagan, our last President with no wits, didn't owe Russia or China a penny. Still, he had to back down and sign disarmament treaties because even back then, especailly due to his tax cuts, we were running deep in the red and were owing more and more to Japan.

And for some reason, the same people who make a bit to-do about the power of capitalism are the same people who poo-poo owing one's future enemies, lots of money. Since we are in a global race to see who is number one, running up lots of debts, de-industrializing and getting trapped in dozens of expensive, destructive wars, means losing this competition.

Just like we are losing ground in international skating competitions, we are losing ground in nearly every field. If one looks at our universities, one sees an army of new scientists who are nearly all foreign students. When one looks at who is buying up businesses and opening new factories, they are nearly all foreigners.

Americans still create things but this is no longer a given that we lead the way any more than the Brits lead the way. Looking at their own situation, one sees the same foreign students out-running the natives. This is due to imperial rot.

Russia was rotting there for a while but is no longer. Slowly, they are getting back on their feet even if it is under a very brutal despotic leader, at least he is leading them in the right direction and not off a cliff!

And finally, why are we imitating Communist Russia, anyway?

From Associated Press
KATHERINE SHRADER,

WASHINGTON - The chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee is questioning whether the CIA's secret prison program — which he fears has become a black eye to the United States — should continue.

The review led by Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va., comes as the Bush administration deliberates an executive order, called for by Congress, that will establish new guidelines for the CIA's system for detaining and interrogating suspected terrorists. It is the agency's most publicly controversial intelligence collection program

So why are we so worried about Darfur? Instead, we should be opening up our prisons, our gulags. Shutting this down will show the world we are the good guys and not commissars. Instead of worrying about Darfur, we should be bringing home our Janjaweed troops and perhaps after undergoing a huge crime wave, we will gain some insight into our own moral torpitude. Instead of lecturing the world and hectoring Russia and China, we can again, set a good example and maybe recussitate the Peace Corps only have them work here, fixing America.

They can start in New Orleans where the crime and murder rate is slowly gaining on Baghdad.

Our Troops In Iraq Are Out Of Control

Good morning, this is Elaine Supkis of Culture of Life News and today is March 24,2007.

Our soldiers are out of control and going insane. Back when we first invaded Iraq illegally, people against this war were warned, we must support the troops. I said back then, 'If we get away with this crime, we will commit more crimes and our soldiers will become criminals just like the Germans under Hitler.'

People mentioning Nazis or Hitler are mocked online. This supposedly means one is exaggerating. This false line of thinking prevents us from seeing ourselves just as it prevents Israel from seeing itself in a proper light. But perhaps we are not Nazis, they had some socialism in the mix. We are lead by a leader who thinks the destruction of Americans is funny.

Just like with the lack of interest shown by all the top administators and the President during Hurricane Katrina, we also saw this at the lowest levels of the Enron staff in Texas: we caught them on tape, these young men, laughing about destroying the lives of old women in California. Their glee at the thought that fellow Americans were being beggared and destroyed was unmistakable. So America isn't suffering from fascism, this means to 'unite' but from fractionalism.

After 9/11, we were supposed to be putting fractionalism behind us but all the way to the top of the ruling party, the Republicans, there was this desire to take revenge on 'liberals' and to punish whole populations for not supporting right wing initiatives.

The attitude that certain groups are allowed to be brutal to others is the dark heart of partisanship. Namely, not all Americans are Americans. And within this is yet another, darker partisanship: people living in America but swearing allegiance to foreign powers. There are many such people here and if they remain in private life, this would matter very little but they have infiltrated our top levels of government. So today, we are falling into one war after another in the Middle East on behalf of several of these powers such as Israel, Saudi Arabia, the UAE and others.

And all of these people are fighting several religious wars. Religious wars are the most dangerous which is why our founding fathers put up that firewall in the Constitution separating Church and State.

These bloody, hate-filled conflicts are driving our own soldiers insane. Statistics show they are suffering from PTSD--post traumatic stress syndrome--- in huge numbers. What is more troubling is how they are being turned into mass murderers. Just this week, an entire division of the Marines was withdrawn from Afghanistan because they were not only brutally murdering anyone in their vicinity, they also were threatening the media.

I just learned more soldiers ran over a child there and they shot another small child dead. Like the Nazis in Russia, frustrated by resistance of the peasants, we are on a killing spree across all the Muslim lands we are invading.

Here is a video from Information Clearing House. com, of a group of soldiers camped out on a roof-top. They come under sniper fire so they go completely insane as if they were playing a video game, shooting everyone in sight.

Click here to see the video.

They scream non-stop while hiding behind a tall wall. This screaming is the most primitive form of fighting. We see it in chimpanzees in the wild. They are not frightened, they are happy. These screams are excitement because they have an excuse to break the tedium by murdering innocent bystanders.

As several cars enter the neighborhood, the unsuspecting drivers suddenly stop because their cars are riddled with bullets. Two drivers manage to get out of their cars and the crazed American soldiers target these people who have done absolutely nothing to deserve death, and mow them down, not with a single shot but thousands of rounds!

Then, cursing and laughing, they slap each other's backs, congratulating each other on killing these bystanders who blundered into the neighborhood where this gang of criminals have set up shop.

And they are not soldiers but criminals. We made this perfectly clear at the Nüremberg Trials. And we don't punish the individual, demented soldiers but their officers and their leaders.

The US is punishing several officers who covered up the friendly fire case from Tora Bora, our great defeat in Afghanistan, a defeat the generals in the Pentagon called, I kid you not, 'Our greatest victory!' The death of the football hero had to be covered up for propagandistic purposes. To keep up support for the wars, the Pentagon and the President had to pretend we were going from victory to victory and our soldiers are heroes and not zeros.

But this is all a lie. General Patraeus has decided to set up thousands of these 'secure' points within many Iraqi neighborhoods. Our soldiers are supposedly going to provide a 'presence' and bring 'order'.

But they are the cause of tremendous disorder. And each day, the troops, on their own, under little or no supervision, are degrading themselves into the lowest of the low: a murderous mob out for blood. This is the dark heart of humanity: we killed off all our relatives including annihilating the Neanderthals. Today, we kill for nationalist or religious reasons.

And it is worse: these crazed killers who laugh at hitting the wrong targets and murdering innocent civilians, will be coming home. And they will be addicted to blood and murder. The Pentagon was unhappy to learn that many soldiers in past wars refused to shoot their guns so they changed the training by having the troops march around yelling, 'Kill' and other murderous words. At night, the sergeants pace the barracks, cursing and telling these recruits, their wives and girlfriends hate them and will betray them so let the hate fill their own bodies for they must hate!

And in Iraq, the plight of our female recruits is deteriorating as they are subjected to rape. Suicides and mental break downs are affecting more and more women. I know of one suicide attempt where the young lady in upstate New York is now severely brain damaged. Another female soldier came home to the Albany region and immediately after greeting her overjoyed children, went into the bedroom and shot herself dead.

When we say the troops are falling apart, this is what it means: manufacturing murderers and rapists from formerly law-abiding, humane young men, teaching hate, mental breakdowns, rape, murder and theft. The reason why all societies hate long wars is, all wars are in the end, amoral and destructive on every level. Winners or losers, everyone is debased in the end.

Our own depraved ending to WWII shows this clearly. We deliberately targetted a civilian population with a new weapon that exceeded all others: the nuclear bomb.

And we clutch our nukes to our breasts as we go about the planet, killing people. Daring anyone to stop us. This childish and dangerous attitude can create WWIII. This week, top Pentagon officials were in China, reviewing the Chinese military. They wonder if the Chinese will try to dominate Asia.

They wonder if we can hang on. Well, we can't for we are going bankrupt. Morally and financially.

War is hell. And we are the devils.

Hello, everyone, this is Elaine Meinel Supkis of Culture of Life News and today is Thursday, March twentysecond, two thousand and seven.

The Endless war: (pause) Today, the war in Iraq has cost more than any war since World War II. The reckless spending of funds is bankrupting America. Today, we see in the news that yet more hospitals for the wounded are really slums and Uncle Sam is the slum lord.

I am willing to bet all the hospitals run by the Pentagon are substandard. Even as our soldiers die everyday, the survivors suffer as they either go insane at home or are shoved off into medical wards that look like the central ward of Newark after the riots.

Every day, I go to Antiwar.com's page to see the headlines they have dragged off the internet and it is depressing reading. Like a nightmare that won't end, day after day, death, doom and destruction.

The top story is about how the Shi'ites are now breaking up their militias and now are going about in groups of three in classic communist revolutionary style. Indeed, as Mao pointed out so bluntly, 'Power grows out of the barrel of a gun.' And 'revolutionaries swim in a sea of the people'.

Like sharks in the deep oceans, they will cruise silently about Iraq, attacking us when we are unawares. Indeed, the breaking story today is the UN secretary general, Ban Ki Moon, was nearly assassinated deep inside the Green Zone in Baghdad by rockets probably shot out of Sadr City. (Play CNN tape) They nearly nailed him.

And the UN is ultimately responsible for this mess. The UN didn't bring up the USA on charges for this illegal invasion. Bush even unilaterally told the UN inspectors looking for WMD, to leave or they would be murdered by our bombs! So they left, finding nothing. Then our own inspectors went in and also found nothing.

Bush and our media even joked about this later at a dinner. 'No WMD here' he boasted as he looked under the desk in the Oval Office.

But according to the Geneva Conventions and our findings at the Nüremberg Trials, this makes our invasion a war crime. For the UN had Saddam disarm and then let the world's biggest military power invade! But far from being punished, the criminals within the UN are now letting the 'quartet' of nuclear powers plan yet another attack: on Iran, a small nation that has suffered coups and despotism sponsored by the USA in the past.

But they own Sadr City and more than half of Iraq and they have won the hearts and minds of 60% of the population. And they know they won this war and it is a matter of time before this fruit falls into their laps.

Our troops arrested a top officer in the Sadr Militias and the prime minister has just ordered us to release him. Three troops died this day, three soldiers sent to their violent deaths by a dithering Congress and a man dedicated to the Skull and Bones who worships the Devil that is Death.

The war in Iraq is the most expensive war since WWII. Yet Congress, far from cutting funds, is increasing funds. $123 billion this year in special suppliments on top of the regular spending of over $700 billion. The two hells gape ever wider at our feet: the destruction of our military as well as the destruction of our economic system---both of which will lead to the end of our empire. Even as the numbers make this obvious, the refusal to come to grips with this crisis ----and it is a crisis!---is not puzzling. Too many people want this war. From Bush to bin Laden, the only people not wanting this war are the untold millions of victims in Iraq.

As our own banking system is on the verge of breaking down, the Treasury Secretary and Congress are only interested in thwarting North Korea and Iran's access to their own rightful bank accounts. Oh, and the Palestinians: they, too, may not use access their own bank accounts.

But I see a devil in the details here: karma dictates we will suffer the same way. And I can see it clearly, the veiled but dire faces of the Furies, the three heartless cosmic messengers carrying out the punishment of the gods. One is entering the halls of Congress, the second is flinging open the vaults at the Federal Reserve and the third is standing on the balcony at Wall Street, ready to toll the brass bell.

Americans ignore their own reliance on the world's biggest stockpile of Weapons of Mass Destruction, especially nuclear bombs. For example, unbeknownst to the people of Seattle, the military has parked over 2,000 nuclear missiles in the bay. These are all on 'hair-trigger alert' and can be used nearly instantly. They are ready to use against Russia and China as we madly prepare for WWIII.

Russia is already very angry about the hangman's noose of missiles we are ringing Russia in Europe. The former prime minister of Germany warned the present one to back off of Russia, in Prague, big demonstrations against these missiles and all over Europe, shudders of fear as people relearn that wars don't stay far from home, these vultures always migrate back to their home bases.

Americans forget this despite the 9/11 event. If I know there are nuclear missiles in Seattle, so does Putin and Hu. And you can bet, Russia will vaporize that city in an instant if they think we might attack them. And there are few Russian cities in Siberia. But there are many American cities within easy shooting distance of Siberia.

Why are we acting as if we can fight WWIII? There is no way we can survive this encounter. Burning down the planet won't make life better. Unless you are a cockroach.

Unfortunately, Israel continues to desire war. After America used our mighty powers to crush a democratically elected government in Palestine, the Palestinians finally regrouped and formed a dictatorship that is designed to suit our prejudices against them. But Israel is now planning to punish anyone who meets with the government of Palestine. This includes American officials. I suppose AIPAC will be hard at work, making sure anyone here who does help the Palestinians suffer for it. The media will do the dirty work, as always. The UN, covered with Iraqi blood, is trying to redeem itself by meeting with the new government of Palestine. The unelected government.

Even so small a matter as the text books the Palestinian children use, our government has to work for Israel to enforce conditions set by the Jews in that country. Even as Secretary Rice is demanding Palestine's government revise their textbooks she won't do this to Japan. Japan has been in a very big row with both Koreas and China over their own texual lies about WWII. But our government won't go after them nor after Israel that has erased much of the truth concerning Palestine which they claim, doesn't even exist.

It gets worse: the foreign minister of Japan, Aso again showed what Japanese arrogance looks like when he said Americans can't bring peace to the Middle East because we are blonde and blue-eyed. This idiot is what the Japanese consider to be a diplomat! Like Bolton, he is a jerk who is nasty and brutish. Japan's standing in Asia is dropping thanks to this guy. The Japanese rulers want him to be the next prime minister. Hu of China is probably laughing about that. It only makes him look good and helps him develop his new NATO in Asia.

For the ruler of China, Hu is hopping a plane to Russia this week to sign many contracts and make more deals and to chat with Putin about their FOREX reserves which are now the number 1 and number 3 in the world today. They have some secret deals to make, deals we will learn about in due time, a terrible day that will be for us!

All our games will end. Bankrupt, we will have to surrender or go down fighting. Either case, many Americans will die here in this once great country.

And so it goes. Another day of death. Thank you for listening.

This is Culture of Life News blogcasting.

USA Intent On War With Iran

Elaine Meinel Supkis

As the Japanese manipulate our Treasury, Congress and the Treasury Secretary are focused on one thing: beggaring Iran. Anyone thinking our Knesset Congress is interested in staving off bankruptcy and pulling back the troops from our many Middle Eastern disasters, is in for a big let-down=they are focused on bringing down Iran so Israel's Jews can continue tormenting the Palestinians and stealing everything in sight.

Here is the top news story from the Treasury Department:

WASHINGTON, DC- Chairman Dodd, Ranking Member Shelby and distinguished members of the Committee, thank you for the opportunity to speak with you today about the Treasury Department's role in dealing with the myriad challenges posed by the radical regime in Iran. I welcome this Committee's ongoing focus on the Iranian threat, and, more broadly, your continued support for our efforts to stop illicit financial flows.

INTRODUCTION

The challenges posed by Iran have become particularly urgent, and the Administration is employing a multi-faceted strategy to meet them. I know you are hearing much about that strategy today from my colleague, Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs Nicholas Burns. The Department of State's diplomatic efforts have yielded critical successes, including a unanimously adopted UN Security Council resolution last December, Resolution 1737, imposing Chapter VII sanctions targeting Iran's nuclear and missile programs. As a result of Iran's noncompliance with that resolution, including its expansion rather than suspension, of uranium enrichment, the Security Council is now set to pass a follow-on resolution with expanded sanctions. That our international partners now support pressuring the Iranian regime to comply with its international obligations is a true credit to Under Secretary Burns's patient, yet persistent, diplomacy.

So, we are so focused on preventing Iran and North Korea from banking anywhere because Japan and Israel demand this. If we think this is our top worry, we are doomed. Just as top economic pundits keep saying we must save Japan's economy (by destroying our own) so we have our financial officers who are presiding over the biggest trade and deficit gaps in our history, worried about Iran's banking situation?

We are expending extraordinary amounts of diplomatic capital to strong-arm many nations into attacking Iran financially. Meanwhile, the same people we are strong-arming are crushing us in international trade and laughing all the way to their own FOREX reserve accounts! Refusing to see the obvious dangers, we instead rush into enterprises that will give us zero benefits, who cares if Iran is banking somewhere?

Our problems lie elsewhere! And we can't avoid them much longer. Just as we have almost all available troops parked in Iraq or the Middle East as well as Europe and a tremendous number surrounding Japan, we are again, open to anyone who wants to attack us and this emphatically includes Mother Nature who is no longer running the El Nino which prevents hurricane formation and is switching to La Nina which creates gigantic hurricanes!

Even with all this effort of our misbegotten political leaders, Russia and China are still dragging their feet and refusing to cooperate in these Japanese/Israeli schemes.

By VLADIMIR ISACHENKOV, Associated Press Writer 1 hour, 54 minutes ago

MOSCOW - Russia's foreign minister said Wednesday that it will not support "excessive" sanctions against its economic partner Iran, as the U.N. Security Council drew closer to a vote on a new, harsher set of measures intended to push Tehran to freeze its nuclear program.

Ambassadors from the 15 Security Council nations held informal discussions at Britain's U.N. Mission in New York on Tuesday ahead of a meeting Wednesday afternoon to discuss possible changes to the draft resolution.

So what are Russia and China doing today? Are they looking for countries to punish? Are they destroying themselves in order to save the Japanese from a depression the ruling elites there have deliberately caused and then extended? No?

Hahaha. No.

Hu is going to see Putin and they have lined up many juicy contracts to sign!

BEIJING, March 21 (Xinhua) -- China and Russia are expected to sign a series of agreements and contracts worth more than 4.3 billion U.S. dollars during Chinese President Hu Jintao's coming visit to Russia, according to the Chinese Foreign Ministry.

And the top Chinese foreign minister is in Mexico today on the heels of Bush's lousy visit that paved no roads nor signed any deals, and he is setting things up so China can help Mexico with their faltering oil business. Booo! I see a lot of goofy politicians here sitting up when the big oil giants call them this morning, howling with rage.

McCain is running on the McCarthy Foreign Policy ticket:

As president, McCain said he would work on political, diplomatic and economic fronts to counter the rise of socialism, including efforts to spread free trade. Yet the United States must also stress the advantages of capitalism and democracy to win ``a war of ideas'' in the region, he said.

At least he recognizes that socialism is on the march. Heck, outright communism is, too! Successful attacks in India, killing the police. They pretty much took over Nepal. They are on the march all over South America and McCain wants to stop them by showing them how capitalism works.

Alas, this poor clown has no idea how it works. I will clue him in: it is like evolution. Red in tooth and claw. It is called 'competition' and who is winning this competition?

China, Japan and Russia. We are losing. Proof? Our FOREX reserves. Period. It is a good way to see who is going up and who is falling into bankruptcy. Will McCain talk about this? Will a dog become the Pope? Arthur, our resident conservative pundit pup here, thinks dogs could do much better than McCain.

Under the Knesset Democrats, the war money shoots for the moon.

The most outspoken critics of the $124 billion wartime spending bill in the House are facing withering support in their fight to defeat it.

California Democratic Reps. Maxine Waters and Lynn Woolsey said that many of their liberal colleagues were caving under pressure from Democratic leaders who, according to at least one congressman, have threatened to block requests for new funds for his district.

They also cited MoveOn.org's endorsement of the measure Monday as a blow to their efforts.

"This is the process: people who feel strongly about this issue hold out as long as they can," said Waters. "A lot of pressure comes to bear and they can't hold up under the pressure."

Moveon.org is run by people who want Israel to rule the Middle East. I divorced myself from them years ago. It doesn't surprise me to see they are funded now by Soros who is Jewish. Tracking the ethnic identity of people funding things that are bad for America is important. Like our politicans sleeping with the Saudis, we have to be careful about snakes in our beds.

Most Americans want the troops out NOW. Not in a year and a half like the Knesset Republicans and Democrats have decreed. Almost all of them went to the nearly top-secret AIPAC enclave last week and vowed to keep the wars going and to strangle Iran and to ignore the popular will of the American people.

This anti-democratic attitude is due to the huge sums of money AIPAC raises. This level of corruption in our political arena is astonishing and is a sign our empire is rotting at the core. And no campaign finance laws that could clip the wings of alien orgainzations such as these, will ever see the light of day. Even old McCain is no longer talking about campaign finance reforms.

Our foreign policy is falling apart as socialists and Islamic revolutionaries proliferate like crazy.

DERA ISMAIL KHAN, Pakistan - Fighting between local and Uzbek militants escalated in northwestern Pakistan on Wednesday, and the death toll from three days of clashes rose to at least 70, officials said.

Militants were exchanging mortar, rocket and assault rifle fire in four areas of South Waziristan, where the clashes broke out Monday. The government has been urging tribesmen to move against al-Qaida-linked fighters in the region.

The dictator of Pakistan is on the verge of falling. We pour tons of money into his illegal, anti-democratic regime to prop him up. He has nukes. Eventually, the heir of bin Laden will have these nukes. This terrifies Israel like crazy and they increase their grip on our own government, determined to use us as their shield.

Egypt is no longer being asked to even pretend to be democratic.

The United States has considerably lowered its democratic requirements for Egypt, a key ally in Washington's efforts to revive the Israeli-Palestinian peace process.

Washington had been tough on the human rights record of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak's regime, until issuing muted criticism Tuesday of controversial constitutional reforms being rushed to a popular vote by Cairo next week.

"You have to put this in the wider context of political and economic reform in Egypt," State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said when asked about the reforms that the Egyptian opposition has denounced as anti-democratic.

We have to control Egypt to make Israel happy. This is making all the people of Egypt hate our guts but that is immaterial. We forget Egyptians were involved in the first WTC attacks. Not to mention, the second. Atta, remember him?

The American media which supports the dictatorships we bankroll, seldom mentions the sufferings of the people who have to live under these regimes.

All Africa News:

The Egyptian Interior Ministry should immediately investigate and prosecute the torture and rape of pro-democracy activist and blogger Muhammad al-Sharqawi in police custody last year, Human Rights Watch said today. The authorities must also protect him from any police intimidation.

If Human Rights Watch want to talk about Darfur, they are put on the front pages of major American media. Talk about Israel's abuse of the Palestinians or Egypt's abuse of students there, suddenly the news becomes invisible.

Bush wants to control the Palestinians via Abbas but Knesset Congress refuses to OK the funds.

dpa German Press Agency
Published: Wednesday March 21, 2007Washington- US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice urged Congress on Wednesday to support the funding of Palestinian security forces loyal to President Mahmoud Abbas.

Congress has held up an 86-million-dollar Bush administration proposal to help train and equip Abbas' forces since the announcment of a unified Palestinian government that includes Abbas' Fatah party and Hamas, a militant group regarded by Washington as a terrorist organization.

Rice said she will provide Congress with a new spending plan that will contain a "firewall" to ensure any funding will not go to Hamas, which has refused to recognize Israel and renounce violence, as demanded by the United States, European Union, United Nations and Russia, which collectively are known as the quartet.

A quartet of imperialists. Who want to control the pesky Palestinians. No matter what tactics the Palestinians choose, it doesn't work. Because the only outcome they are allowed is to be removed by European and American colonialists. So this stubborn mess remains a thorn in the side of everyone on earth. And the solution is increasingly to have a nasty war to resolve all this.

And that would be called 'the Apocalypse.

The Wheels Fall Off Of Many Propaganda Wagons

Elaine Meinel Supkis

The Washington Post imagines Bush and Condi want democracy for Muslims. This stupid propaganda point keeps on rolling. Meanwhile, the USA is rapidly going bankrupt as our demoralized military falls apart and AIPAC conspires with both Democrats and Rebublicans to keep on ringing up gigantic deficits.

The propaganda never stops, does it?

By Anthony Shadid
Washington Post Foreign Service

Condi Rice: "For 60 years," she said, "my country, the United States, pursued stability at the expense of democracy in this region, here in the Middle East, and we achieved neither. Now we are taking a different course. We are supporting the democratic aspirations of all people." For five paragraphs of her speech, diplomatic niceties made way for a series of declarative "musts" directed at Egypt's government: It must give its citizens the freedom to choose, Egyptian elections must be free, opposition groups must be free to assemble and participate. The Egyptian government, Rice said, "must put its faith in its own people."

What is so charming about the Zionist Washington Post is how they pretend to believe the blatherings of that monumental liar, Condi Rice. Just as they so happily believed all the lies about Saddam's WMD in the past or how they, to this day, lie continuously about the Plame outing, the psychotic need to pretend their own propaganda continues.

The storyline cooked up by a gang of right wing Likudniks infesting our government was, we were invading Muslim lands surrounding Israel in order to free the people from tyrants, etc. Bring them 'democracy', etc.

Of course, the instant the Palestinian people, the people who the Jews (yes, they are all Jews) who are colonizing the Palestinian lands and kicking out the natives, hate so much, had an election, the USA joined the Jews in denying the election and collectively starving the Palestinians to death.

So today, Palestine has yet another government which they are trying to get at least the Europeans to recognize and we are being strong-armed by the Jews in Israel and the USA to not recognize a legitimate democratic government because Israel wants them to surrender and leave their homes and go away so the Jews in the world, one of the richest and most influential religious minorities, can conficated everything in the 'Holy Land' for themselves.

The other day, I was talking to one person who thought he was very intellectual, very smart. He said he has a solution to all the wars and problems of the Muslims: we move them out of the entire Middle East and relocate them!

I said, 'A perfect solution. Evict them from their own lands and confiscate it. So, are you going to have them evict you and confiscate your entire state? Eh?'

Of course not. The 'send the Jews to Madagasscar' solution that Hitler had has infiltrated the brains of many Americans thanks to tons of neo-nazi propaganda spewed out by our media. My own parents said the exact same thing to me just before they disowned me. They want the Muslims to move out, to go somewhere like Darfur, not to California, of course.

So this is the background for today's WP story.

Nearly two years later, the legacy of Rice's words is intimately tied to the fate of Egypt's democracy movement, divided and withering under unrelenting repression by a government that remains one of America's key allies in the region. What began as a test of American mettle ended in failure to bring about far-reaching change in a country that has received more per capita U.S. aid than Europe did under the post-World War II Marshall Plan. In the eyes of activists and, at times, the government itself, that failure stands as a narrative of misperception about the people Americans sought to court, and of naivete about those the Americans wanted to reform.

The Muslims 'street' knows perfectly well the US means ill! They have been at the receiving end of endless CIA coups and assassinations! They know what our aim is: to extend the Anglo/European/Christian/Jewish colonization of the region. They are quite aware that many Americans cheerfully dream of evicting ALL Muslims from ALL their lands so we can seize their natural resources and use them for ourselves. We openly talk about violently 'converting' them to 'Jesus' and million of Americans pray for the Apolcalypse to come now. I come from a crazy family that is part of the Apocaclyptic movement which is why I harp on it so much.

I grew up hearing the plans for it (nuclear war) right in the heart of the CIA/Nuclear bomb/Missile complex. There wasn't a day in my life that I didn't overhear chat about this coming event. Most people involved seriously believe they will survive. I was raised to survive. And as they get older and older, they can barely survive with modern civilization yet they still dream of WWIII and killing all those pesky Muslims and JEWS. Who don't surrender to the mighty Jesus, a bloody monster indeed.

The money we so 'generously' shower upon the bloody bodies of beaten Egyptians is entirely so the dictator we put up there who was put in power to suppress the Muslim Brotherhood, can rule with impunity. Imagine if a foreign country put into power people who served only it...sort of like Israel runs our Congress. Note how Congress and FEMA, run by a dual citizen Israeli Jew, don't give a fig about us Americans?

For example, last month we saw a number of tornadoes destroy American towns. Just several days ago, I read about the rage some of the victims of these tornadoes felt when they learned FEMA was selling thousands of trailers and not one of them were offered to the victims of these tornadoes!

FEMA didn't even bother to talk to them! Or do anything! And this drops off the news screens rapidly as Americans are ejected from trailers and told to go die even as our government secretly (I saw no headlines) hands over even more billions to Jews in Israel so they could 'resettle' their own tribe on even more stolen Palestinian lands.

The average Muslim in any country surrounding Israel knows the real news and they hate us with a rising passion and this is what fueled 9/11.

And this is also where money intersects with our military and how our attempts at controlling Muslims is bankrupting us.

Four years after the invasion of Iraq, the high and growing demand for U.S. troops there and in Afghanistan has left ground forces in the United States short of the training, personnel and equipment that would be vital to fight a major ground conflict elsewhere, senior U.S. military and government officials acknowledge.

More troubling, the officials say, is that it will take years for the Army and Marine Corps to recover from what some officials privately have called a "death spiral," in which the ever more rapid pace of war-zone rotations has consumed 40 percent of their total gear, wearied troops and left no time to train to fight anything other than the insurgencies now at hand.

I think it is time for us to sweep out the entire Pentagon. According to whistle-blowers, the Israeli military has full access to our Pentagon and can come and go without signing in or out, leaving no trace of their activities just like our politicians, nearly 100%, will dutifully troop off to see Israeli officials at the AIPAC gatherings and conspire behind closed doors with them, making secret covenants and promises to support only Jewish desires and only Jewish plans for the future.

Evidently, this means our government must focus on the ongoing plan to suppress and destroy all Islamic power that might be used to stop the confiscation and eviction of Muslims from lands on the Jewish map for Israel.

So our military is falling apart because businessmen in America and Europe want to make lots of profits selling stuff and the profit margin on soldiers and weapons is scant so the Pentagon concentrates mostly on building elaborate and nearly useless 'defense' systems that cost a fortune to develop. In turn, Congress is hooked into this system whereby bribes and goodies are passed out like candy and everyone gets fat except for the grunt on the ground.

Just this week, General Pace crowed that the stupid surge of troops that is growing by the hour, is 'securing' Iraq much to the fury of the Iraqi people who are attacking us with increasing fervor. Yesterday, they blew up even more soldiers and even videotaped how they do it. They are quite proud that their non-armor wearing patriots are able to fight the foreign invaders so well. Very clever of them.

And the rest of the Islamic world cheers them on. Right now, there is no political opposition in Egypt as Mubarak works with Olmert to torture Muslims in Gaza. But if anyone dares go on the street---not that many Americans dare go to Egypt at all anymore--and asks the Egyptians about all this, they will get an earful of angry, scornful talk. Except no one will talk to us.

Egypt will, like all these places, blow up in our faces very suddenly. We can't tell when, but it will. Just like Iran. And for the same reasons. And the people in all these lands are waiting with impatience for one key event: the bankruptcy of the USA Empire.

This is around the corner.

War protests continue and are now reported by the press.

By AARON CLARK, Associated Press Writer 2 hours, 16 minutes ago

PORTLAND, Ore. - The fourth anniversary of the war in Iraq brought Susan Hay to an anti-war march snaking through downtown — one of the largest of several such demonstrations across the nation and one that ended with police using pepper spray.

"This is a war to establish U.S. hegemony," said Hay, a high school teacher, who marched Sunday with her two children and husband. "This is a war to be able to consume everyone else's resources."

Now that only 10% of the nation supports the war, I am assuming that 5% of that number are all our politicians on the AIPAC payroll, the media has generously decided to report the real news a tad. They still cloak AIPAC in a mantle of invisibility but they no longer stick war protesters in the dark world of Nacht und Nebel (night and fog) they kept us in for years.

With popular support for this ruinous war at a record low, lower than Vietnam war support, one would imagine Congress would easily pass bills forcing Bush to remove our troops and protect our budget. But this is the last thing Congress will do simply because they represent a foreign nation, not the People.

Not only is Congress not stopping the war, they are cheerfully voting for more money for this stupid war and more goodies are appended.

In his weekly radio address, the president said: "Many in Congress say they support the troops, and I believe them. Now they have a chance to show that support in deed, as well as in word."

Mr. Bush repeated his promise that his spending request for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan must be approved "without strings and without delay" or he will veto it.

His address, broadcast while he spent the weekend at the Camp David presidential retreat, aired hours before protesters marched to the Pentagon to denounce the Iraq war.

Before the protests began, the White House issued a fact sheet outlining progress in Iraq since the U.S.-led invasion. The White House said Iraqis are stepping up to take control of security and beginning to meet benchmarks to achieve political reconciliation among warring Muslim sects.

Bush wants the war to go on forever and Congress wants to keep AIPAC happy so they have cooked up this neat trick: the Democrats would pretend to be against the war while voting for more money for the war. They will tell us, they have to deal with Bush vetoing things so this is a 'compromise.'

I say, this is a sham cooked up with AIPAC in those top-secret meetings we are not privy to! When one 'liberal' Congressman, Obey, was confronted by a distressed mother of a soldier going insane who was being sent back to Iraq, he sneered at her and at all real liberals. He told her very snottily that he was trying his best (doing nothing) and everyone should shut up.

Well, I know for a fact that Congress can send Bush nothing but bills demanding he remove the troops and stop wild military misspending. Over and over again. While conducting impeachment hearings. This is how a real democracy works. Sometimes a country has to stop everything to deal with an emergency!

And lord knows, we are deep into a very dangerous emergency: every hour, our collective economic condition worsens. Our debts are growing, in just three to four more months, Congress will have to raise the debt ceiling yet again when it reaches an astonishing $9 trillion. This looming event is being ignored by Congress as well as the media.

Every story about Iraq should open with a remark that we are deep in the red and going deeper by the hour and time is a-wasting. Our Congress critters can't play games anymore. It is too late. And they should talk sensibly with Americans. They must tell us we are going bankrupt.

I am sick and tired of pointing out the obvious. The entire bin Laden strategy is to drive us into bankruptcy by bogging us down in interminable civil wars within Muslim lands. And it is working like a clock.

He tagged us perfectly. Israel would be bankrupt if they had to pay their own way, they need our money and they get it. Ditto Mubarak of Egypt. He would be strung up in ten minutes if the money doesn't flow into his own pockets. We paid the PLO to betray their own people. This is why Hamas sprang up.

Hamas knows the USA is going bankrupt. They want to prevent the Nazi annihilation of their own people before the joyous event. The day the Chinese hand us our heads in the economic sphere is the day of liberation of all Muslims and our attempts at controlling this are doomed.

Israelis who are rich are building nuclear bomb shelters. They think this will save them from the tsunami of enraged Muslims who will overrun them when the money ceases to come from the USA.

Meanwhile, here at home, I fear Americans have been conned into believing they will never be allowed to suffer the consequences of going deeply into debt to Communist China. This is probably the stupidest thing of all. And it is due entirely to the media who has worked day and night to convince everyone that Communist China, who has planned to do this since 1985, won't do this thing they so dearly desire.

I assure everyone, China will do it. They will kick us over the economic cliff. It is inevitable.

Tortured Prisoner Confesses To Every Possible Crime

Elaine Meinel Supkis

The latest childish attempt by our dictator, Bush and his gang to fool everyone was today's 'confession' by an al Qaeda #3 (one of many #3's) that he masterminded absolutely everything by himself is falling flat as everyone on earth knows this man was severely tortured and would confess to being Anne Nicole Smith's child's father if asked.

And our barbarian use of torture is backfiring.

By SOUAD MEKHENNET and MICHAEL MOSS
Published: March 16, 2007

TRIPOLI, Lebanon — Deep in a violent and lawless slum just north of this coastal city, 12 men whose faces were shrouded by scarves drilled with Kalashnikovs.

In unison, they lunged in one direction, turned and lunged in another. “Allah-u akbar,” the men shouted in praise to God as they fired their machine guns into a wall.

The men belong to a new militant Islamic organization called Fatah al Islam, whose leader, a fugitive Palestinian named Shakir al-Abssi, has set up operations in a refugee camp here where he trains fighters and spreads the ideology of Al Qaeda.

There is enough seething hatred and fury at our attempts at colonizing, raping and controlling all the peasant peoples as well as city peoples and in general, everyone and anyone sitting on top of Islamic oil reserves, we just have to enslave them all.

And they are fighting back with whatever they can. I will also note how our dictator had to pin everything on one person, sort of like how he and Cheney blamed that asinine courtier of theirs, Libby, as the sole cause of the Plame outing crime. Or how he will weasel away from Gonzales even as he did with Rumsfeld. And replace all these saps with new servants who will be blamed for all the new messes.

And bin Laden?

The fact that our torturers in the CIA and Department of Defense (sic) had to pull this miserable lower level man out of their chambers of horrors and have him pretend he did everything including killing a reporter in Pakistan...why didn't they have him take responsiblity for Monica's dirty blue dress? He spilled his semen on it! Yes.

Like naughty boys who are bullies, they pretend all sorts of people did what they did. I am shocked they left out the anthrax attacks.

This truly infuriates me: why the hell didn't they bring this guy before the 9/11 commission? We all have a zillion questions for him! Like, why did they pick 9/11? And the Madrid 3/11 attacks? And the 7/7 attacks? Eh? Or did the interrogators not notice these magic numbers?

I do know Bush and his family, his coven and his gang love these numbers and use them. The flights used on 9/11 were all magic numbers, too. Did he pick these out? Who did? Who arranged the details and set up the system? Was it all 'co-incidence' as even today, the FBI liars and the CIA and Bush and his criminal gang desperately want us to believe?

And again: history shows clearly, torturing people to 'confess' is fake. A person will confess to anything and everything if you are a clever torturer and none were as good as the Spanish Inquisitioner Jesuits and Dominican monks. They could wring out whatever they wanted.

This whole news disgusts me but I will also note that ABC, when reporting it, surprized me today by showing what 'waterboarding' really is: disgusting, Nazi torture. And they expressed doubts about the 'confession' due to the torture. And this whole thing should be brought before the Hague and Bush put on trial along with all his gang, I will love to arrest them all.

Arrest our officials who condone and command torture. GAH. Now.
