===News Update=== Bible Says - The Psychology of Christian Fundamentalism "I know you're a Christian, but who are you a Christian against." In Apocalypse, a patient study of Christian fundamentalism based on extensive interviews over a five year period with members of apocalyptic communities Charles Strozier identifies four basic beliefs as fundamental to Christian fundamentalism. (1) Inerrancy or biblical literalism, the belief that every word of the Bible is to be taken literally as the word of God; (2) conversion or the experience of being reborn in Christ; (3) evangelicalism or the duty of the saved to spread the gospel; and (4) Apocalypticism or Endism, http://www.counterpunch.org/davis01082005.html === Hate campaign against author critical of Christian Zionists Ayoon wa Azan (Religious Prejudice) Reverend Stephen Sizer found a publisher for his book, Christian Zionism: Road Map to Armageddon, in the United Kingdom, which is Inter-Varsity Press; however, he is still seeking a publisher in the United States where Christian Zionists are so influential that makes many hesitant to go up against them. a hate campaign against the book and its publisher started even before it was published. http://mparent7777.blog-city.com/read/997820.htm === The Networks, the War and the Truth A s soon as Dan Rather publicly admitted that documents cited in a high-profile story on 60 Minutes could not be substantiated, rumors flew that he was a goner. After a �decent interval,� the controversial anchor announced his retirement as anchor of CBS Evening News. (He will continue to report for 60 Minutes� Sunday and Wednesday editions).

THE New World Order: is it just another piece of Gorbieguff, like Glasnost and Perestroika, or are we experiencing the birth of a reoriented geopolitical alignment? Such phenomena do, occasionally, occur. The Congress of Vienna, which liquidated the Napoleonic Empire and initiated the European settlement of which Metternich was the custodian until 1848, was one such instance. Is something similar happening today? http://mparent7777.blog-city.com/read/996866.htm === I'm Not Sure How Many More Corners We Can Stand To Turn So, how's it going in Iraq? [H]ere's a brief history of estimates of the size of the insurgency: Summer 2003 - There's no insurgency! Just some bandits. Winter 2004 - A few hundred to a couple thousand dead-enders.

Summer 2005 - ? http://mparent7777.blog-city.com/read/997644.htm === Fatimah the Noble of the Nobles & the Purest of All Today, I feel angered, ashamed, and disgusted with myself as a Muslim and as an Afghan. Today is the day that all Muslim men should hang their heads down in shame. They should not hang their heads down with shame for Fatimah, after all she is the Martyr whose dignity is beyond the most valued words present in any language. http://www.albasrah.net/maqalat/english/0105/miraki_090105.htm === The Jungle In The Desert We never learned why we lost the Vietnam War, and now we're losing another Asian War. http://www.interventionmag.com/cms/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=964 === IRAQ'S JANUARY 30TH ELECTION: SPARKING A CIVIL WAR? Brent Scowcroft's comments last Thursday at the inaugural meeting of my new foreign policy project, New Solarium Project on U.S. Foreign Policy, have really riled up those who are gambling that Iraq's January 30th elections are going to usher in an era of stable governance and democracy for Iraqis. http://mparent7777.blog-city.com/read/997672.htm === FLASHBACK: We're committing genocide in Iraq �Here�s the problem in America, what we�re living in is becoming an increasingly militaristic society, where poor people have been encouraged to sign up as the front line,� Massey said. http://www.wsws.org/articles/2004/nov2004/vet-n11.shtml === George Walker Bush's Willing Executors In the summer of 2002 Perle stated, " ... support for Saddam, including within his military organization, will collapse at the first whiff of gunpowder": "You do not become a 'dissident' just because you decide one day to take up this most unusual career. You are thrown into it by your personal sense of responsibility, combined with a complex set of external circumstances. You are cast out of the existing structures and placed in a position of conflict with them. It begins as an attempt to do your work well, and ends with being branded an enemy of society." - Vaclav Havel http://mparent7777.blog-city.com/read/997593.htm === U.S. Soldier Given Six Months for Assaulting Iraqi FORT HOOD, Texas (Reuters) - A U.S. Army sergeant -- cleared of the drowning death of one of two Iraqis thrown off a bridge but convicted of assault -- was sentenced to six months in a military prison on Saturday. http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml?type=topNews&storyID=7272417 === US deserters flee to Canada to avoid service in Iraq I am a believe in democracy, as in "the will of the people is the law of the land", and no, rigged elections do not count. Take a look at the millions opposed to the war in these photographs and tell me where this President gets off starting a war with lies that other peoples' children must die in. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2005/01/09/wus09.xml&sSheet=/portal/2005/01/09/ixportal.html === US troops kill Iraqi civilians U.S. troops targeted by a roadside bomb have mistakenly killed two Iraqi policemen and two bystanders hours after an American warplane bombed the wrong house, exacting a heavy civilian toll, Iraqi officials say. http://www.reuters.co.uk/newsArticle.jhtml;jsessionid=QQFNIBYONYO5OCRBAE0CFEY?type=worldNews&storyID=650999 === US military admits it hit wrong target after bomb kills 14 Iraqis Fourteen Iraqis were reported killed and five injured early yesterday morning after an American war plane obliterated a family house in the north of the country.

Those who have noticed the elephant in the room -- that is, the fact that this war was based on falsehoods � have had our patriotism questioned. Those who have spoken aloud the thought shared by hundreds of thousands of military families across this country, that our troops should return quickly and safely from the dangers half a world away, have been accused of cowardice. We have then seen the untruths, the dissembling, the fabrication, the misleading inferences surrounding this rush to war in Iraq wrapped quickly in the flag. http://www.commondreams.org/views03/1018-01.htm === DETAINEE DIES OF APPARENT NATURAL CAUSES Cardiac arrest?

Graner Jr., the Army Reservist and alleged ringleader of the abuse who is due to be court-martialed here next week. http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn/A56355-2005Jan7?language=printer === Torturing Limbo's Kitten Flush Limbo's kitten is being held at Abu Ghraib by the District Attorney. The kitten wasn't wearing a uniform when it attacked U.S. forces after we bombed its litter box back into the stone age. Damn terrorist. To hell with the Geneva Convention and to hell with the U.S. Constitution, the kitten isn't a citizen. We don't have to be decent to it. The D.A. suspects the kitten knows something about Limbo's pills, and he also wants it to spill the beans on his medical records. So far, it's refused to talk. Well, the guards at Abu Ghraib know how to make it talk. "What's the matter, cat got your tongue, Mr. Puss and Boots? We know how to deal with your terrorist kind, you hairball. We've got some piperazine adipate here that'll make you talk." http://mparent7777.blog-city.com/read/997977.htm === American lawyer finds Guantanamo Bay conditions atrocious Attorney says predicament of detainees complies with neither international nor U.S. law WASHINGTON: An American lawyer who has just visited 12 Kuwaiti detainees in Guantanamo Bay said Thursday that "the most hardened convicted criminals in the U.S.have better conditions" than the prisoners who have been in Cuba for almost three years. The conditions, she added, do not "comply with international law or any law in the U.S." since they have "never been tried or convicted of anything." http://www.dailystar.com.lb/article.asp?edition_id=10&categ_id=2&article_id=11648 === Briton accused of aiding most wanted terrorist A BRITISH citizen is being held in Iraq on suspicion of funding and aiding Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the Jordanian fugitive who heads Al-Qaeda in Iraq and is behind many of the bloodiest terrorist attacks in the country. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2089-1431472,00.html === The Truth about Terrorism If you live, as I do, in an American city designated as a likely target by the Department of Homeland Security, the sheer proliferation of security apparatus in the streets assures you that there is a war on. Yet the nature and conduct of that war, and the character�and very existence�of our enemy, remain infuriatingly obscure: not because there's any shortage of information, or apparent information, but because so much of it has turned out to be creative guesswork or empty propaganda. http://www.newsfrombabylon.com/index.php?q=node/5361 === Last Week's "Bin Laden Tape" Was A Fake, Dreamed Up By An Uneducated American Hack The Last �Bin Laden Tape� Was a Fake (1.7.04) 664 words Sam Hamod The Bin Laden tape of last week was clearly a cheap fake. My proof is very simple, as a devout and devoted ultra-fundamentalist Wahabi Muslim, Bin Laden does not believe in kings, queens, princes or princesses. Thus, when this alleged �Bin Laden� called Zarqawi, �the prince of Al Qa�eda��it shouted, this is not Bin Laden. Bin Laden would never use these words, but some Hollywood or Pentagon or State Department hack might think it sounded good, as praise for Zarqawi. But in the very doing of this, it made clear that this tape was not Bin Laden. So why was this tape made? http://www.todaysalternativenews.com/?event=link,150&values[0]=&values[1]=2095 === QUALIFYING OFFICIALS "The government consists of a gang of men exactly like you and me. They have, taking one with another, no special talent for the business of government; they have only a talent for getting and holding office. Their principal device to that end is to search out groups who pant and pine for something they can't get and to promise to give it to them. Nine times out of ten that promise is worth nothing. The tenth time is made good by looting A to satisfy B. In other words, government is a broker in pillage, and every election is sort of an advance auction sale of stolen goods." - H.L. Mencken http://mparent7777.blog-city.com/read/997652.htm === Unanswered Questions Al Qosi claimed they were strapped to the floor in an interrogations center known as the Hell Room, wrapped in Israeli flags, taunted by female interrogators who rubbed their bodies against them in sexually suggestive ways, and left alone in refrigerated cells for hours with deafening music blaring in their ears. Wrapped in Israeli flags. Just who is it your kids are dying for over there? http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6803421/site/newsweek/ === Israel's hand in Sudan's past and future Was Israel behind the separatist movement of the Southern Sudanese? Was Sudan used as a tool by Tel Aviv in order to achieve a long term goal which was to weaken Egypt and come in from the backdoor? http://mparent7777.blog-city.com/read/997628.htm === Ex-Stasi Spy(KGB) To Head Homeland Security "Wolf is the man that effectively built the East German state intelligence operation�s internal directorate," Martin continues. "He turned half the population into informants. That is his specialty, is taking a population, constructing the various state divisions, mechanisms of control, in order to organize informants within the population. That is his real specialty. And that is precisely, as Primakov has intimated, why Wolf is being brought in. The regime knows that once all of Patriot II is in law and they begin working on Patriot III, they will then begin to establish the internal mechanism to coordinate, as an official function of state, a system of informants. Wolf�s speciality was to turn East Germany into the greatest and most efficient informant state ever created." http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/december2004/061204wolfhired.htm === -muslim voice- ___________________________________ BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO KNOW ------------------------ Yahoo!
