===News Update=== Bush - Nice guy or the Devil's spawn? He snorted cocaine ... He dodged the draft....His friends knew him as an alcoholic womanizer with a bad temper....a complete failure at business until his wealthy friends rescued him. Yet within a few short years he was elected Governor of Texas, and quickly catapulted into the White House in spite of losing the popular vote. Then he was re-elected with last minute help from Osama Bin Laden, in spite of high disapproval ratings. He still couldn't think his way out of a wet paper bag without the advice of his staff .....and yet he's been able to declare an endless war and institute some of the most radical changes in American history .... http://www.bushisantichrist.com/ === Is there a solution to racism? "Is there a solution to racism? I believe: there is. Knowledge is power and should be used to educate people about the harm racism does and the factors that contribute it. Cultural personality has to grow or be revived. The agents and forces of racism, wherever they come from, need to be exposed, and their untenable positions confronted and defeated." http://mparent7777.blog-city.com/read/996330.htm === Egyptian paper: Israel-India nuke test caused tsunami - UPDATED REGULARLY Despite The Catastrophe, Is There a Room To Assume Conspiracy Theories?

Sometimes, they say, they fire on vehicles encroaching with[in] 30 metres, sometimes they fire at 20 metres." Says one lieutenant: "If anyone gets too close to us, we [bleeping] waste them. It�s kind of a shame, because it means we�ve killed a lot of innocent people." http://mparent7777.blog-city.com/read/996505.htm === FLASHBACK: The president's real goal in Iraq This war, should it come, is intended to mark the official emergence of the United States as a full-fledged global empire, seizing sole responsibility and authority as planetary policeman. It would be the culmination of a plan 10 years or more in the making, carried out by those who believe the United States must seize the opportunity for global domination, even if it means becoming the "American imperialists" that our enemies always claimed we were. Every century or so, some maniacs decide they can conquer the rest of the world. http://207.44.245.159/article2319.htm === Army Sergeant Acquitted of Manslaughter An Army sergeant was acquitted of involuntary manslaughter in the alleged drowning of Iraqi civilian, but convicted of assault for forcing the man and his cousin into the Tigris River for violating curfew. http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story2&u=/ap/20050108/ap_on_re_us/soldiers_drowning === US Uses Small Children As Human Shields????

Or could US air security operations have been deliberately stood down on September 11? If so, why, and on whose authority? http://www.guardian.co.uk/comment/story/0,,1036571,00.html === NEW PENTAGON VISION TRANSFORMS WAR AGENDA Pentagon transformation is well underway. The U.S. military is increasingly being converted into a global oil protection service. Secretary of War Donald Rumsfeld has a "strategy guy" whose job is to teach this new way of warfare to high-level military officers from all branches of services and to top level CIA operatives. Thomas Barnett is a professor at the Navy War College in Rhode Island. He is author of the controversial book The Pentagon's New Map that identifies a "non-integrating gap" in the world that is resisting corporate globalization. Barnett defines the gap as parts of Latin America, Africa, Middle East and Central Asia all of which are key oil-producing regions of the world. http://www.globenet.free-online.co.uk/newsletter/gnews16.htm === Withdrawal from Iraq a step closer as general leads review PRESIDENT BUSH vowed yesterday to stand by Iraqis voting in this month�s landmark election but gave no commitment to an extended American presence after the vote. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,7374-1430240,00.html === Another Report Highlights CIA Screwups From 1941 until 1994, eveyr official government investigation into the attack on Pearl Harbor claimed it was all accident and oversight and dumped the blame onto General Short and Admiral Kimmell. Then in 1994 declassified documents proved that Rossevent had followed an 8 step plan drawn up by ONI Lt. Cmmdr. Arthur H. McCollum to provoke a Japanese attack as a means of dragging the US into war, and purposely did not inform the Hawaii commanders in order to make it look like a sneak attack. So, takoing 53 years to tell the truth, this means that we can expect the government to admit what we on the net already know, that 9-11 was a war-making hoax and the CIA actually innocent, in the year 2054. http://www.capitolhillblue.com/artman/publish/article_5984.shtml http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/McCollum/ === CHASING DOWN THE TRUTH ABOUT TORTURE WASHINGTON -- Anyone who has ever had a cat knows of a curious ambivalence about the purpose of "the chase" around the house. Neither of you ever wins, and there is no finish line; when your beloved feline racer gets tired of chasing here and there and everywhere, he just plops down, closes his eyes and goes back to sleep. Not only is it all over, but neither of you quite understands its actual purpose. http://mparent7777.blog-city.com/read/996292.htm === Memos Show Prisoner Abuse 'Systematic and Sanctioned' IT was supposed to be just a few bad apples and largely limited to Iraq but a spate of new internal memos from the FBI has provided fresh accusations that the abuse of US prisoners in the "war on terror" has been systematic and sanctioned. http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,5744,11877583%255E2703,00.html === Iraqis to Testify in Trial of G.I.

One sub collided with Kursk, and according to the French film maker, the other US sub thought it was being attacked and launched a torpedo at the Kursk. It is worth recalling that there have been dozens of accidents involving submarines, of which only one was ever admitted to at the time it happened. http://www.sudouest.com/060105/une.asp?Article=060105a49602.xml === French documentary questions official story of Kursk sinking Babelfish translation HERE. http://www.liberation.fr/page.php?Article=266435 http://babelfish.altavista.com/babelfish/trurl_pagecontent?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.liberation.fr%2Fpage.php%3FArticle%3D266435&lp=fr_en === Did the Americans sink the "Kursk"? But the official cover-up went awry when the sub was finally raised, for there, for all to see, was a perfectly round hole on the sub's hull, just at the point where the nose had been sawn off. (Apparently they sawed in the wrong place.) This hole was bent in at the edges, and could only have been caused by impact of an external object traveling at an extremely high speed. http://www.oag.ru/views/kursk1.html === -muslim voice- ___________________________________ BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO KNOW ------------------------ Yahoo!
