=== News Update === U.S. Massacres and Invasions, 1890-2003 John Perkins' Confessions of an Economic Hit Man offers an overview of the U.S. depredations of the past century that are once again being inflicted upon the Middle East: http://blogbyedkent.blogspot.com/2005/07/us-massacres-and-invasions-1890-2003.html === Show your Independence on the 4th; Burn a Flag The flag has fallen from its once lofty perch and merged with the sludge of corporate profiteering, calculated sadism and pre-emptive war. It's odd that Congress would pass a bill banning flag burning on the same week that reports confirmed the US military used napalm in Iraq. Apparently, it's alright to incinerate Iraqis, but not okay to burn a 5'x7' piece of tri-colored cloth. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article9366.htm http://snipurl.com/g08y === STRANGER THAN FICTION AN INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATION OF 9-11 AND THE WAR ON TERRORISM It's never easy being an independent thinker! Today, our ruling government/media complex doesn't kill people for pursuing the truth about the world (at least not yet!) They simply label them as "extremists" or "paranoid", destroying careers and reputations in the process. For many, that's a fate even worse than drinking poison hemlock! http://www.apfn.org/apfn/WTC_STF.htm === Heaven's Gate Let's deal in truth. Let's talk about crime. Bush is a nasty little moral cretin fronting a gang of elitist thugs whose only concerns are loot and power. Nothing he says has the slightest credibility. Only his actions -- crimes soaked with human blood -- have any meaning or truth. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article9369.htm http://snipurl.com/g08z === World Tribunal On Iraq Preliminary Declaration Of The Jury Of Conscience Recommendations: Recognising the right of the Iraqi people to resist the illegal occupation of their country and to develop independent institutions, and affirming that the right to resist the occupation is the right to wage a struggle for self-determination, freedom, and independence as derived from the Charter of the United Nations, we the Jury of Conscience declare our solidarity with the people of Iraq. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article9355.htm http://snipurl.com/g090 === Sidney Blumenthal : Empty words: : By citing bin Laden, Bush raised him to the stature of a foreign leader. But he went further, embracing bin Laden's understanding of the war's dynamics as a crusade. By endorsing bin Laden's notion of a "third world war," the American president lent the prestige of his office to the terrorists' vision. Using bin Laden's statement to justify his own course, Bush legitimated their war. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article9361.htm http://snipurl.com/g09g === Judith Miller is no martyr and Sulzberger is no saint This should be considered the real trial of the century - a trial that could re-chart the political map of America. If the mass media wasn't putting up so much resistance, we could all be watching a blockbuster of a diabolical political soap opera - played before a canvass of a real live war. http://www.nilemedia.com/Columnists/Ahmed/2005/July/Judith.html === Daniel Ellsberg: I Wrote Bush's War Words -- in 1965: In July 1965, I had the same task as Bush's speechwriters in June 2005: how to rationalize and motivate continued public support for a hopelessly stalemated, unnecessary war our president had lied us into. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article9370.htm http://snipurl.com/g09i === "Operation Shekhinah a.k.a. Operation Iraqi Freedom" When Part One of Operation Shekhinah was first published in January 2002, it was viewed by many as a work of complete fiction. "Where is the proof," my mainly Jewish critics asked, "that Israel intends to illegally invade Iraq and steal its strategic oil reserves?" http://disc.server.com/discussion.cgi?disc=149495;article=86024;title=APFN === US Radiation In Iraq Equals 250,000 Nagasaki Bombs There Are No Words As a writer, I do not have a set of words to describe what 142 Degrees in the shade is like. I've seen 120 D. in Phoenix and 110 D in the spa's sauna I use. One hundred forty-two degrees leaves me speechless. Try to imagine 142 D temperature while wearing a helmet, long sleeve shirt, long pants, a bullet proof vest, boots, and carrying a 70 pound pack. http://rense.com/general66/equals.htm === Even Very Low Radiation Can Cause Cancer Even very low doses of radiation pose a risk of cancer over a person's lifetime, a National Academy of Sciences panel concluded Wednesday. It rejected some scientists' arguments that tiny doses are harmless or may in fact be beneficial. http://rense.com/general66/caise.htm === Revealed: grim world of new Iraqi torture camps : Secret torture chambers, the brutal interrogation of prisoners, murders by paramilitaries with links to powerful ministries... Foreign affairs editor Peter Beaumont in Baghdad uncovers a grim trail of abuse carried out by forces loyal to the new Iraqi government http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article9363.htm http://snipurl.com/g097 === Memo to Iraq War: This Is the First Day of the Rest of Your Death: "So long as enough Americans go along with the phantom goal of "victory," you get to keep killing in Iraq. To that end, a massive PR operation is underway." http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article9368.htm http://snipurl.com/g09f === UK aid funds Iraqi torture units : British and American aid intended for Iraq's hard-pressed police service is being diverted to paramilitary commando units accused of widespread human rights abuses, including torture and extra-judicial killings http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article9362.htm http://snipurl.com/g096 === The American Fiasco in Iraq It became obvious to all honourable people that the Iraqi resistance is a de facto state that nobody could ignore , equally the big flop of American administration to chalk up its neo-colonial objectives under mottoes of democracy and human rights turned into a soring dilemma to Bush and his cohort . http://www.albasrah.net/en_articles_2005/0705/muham_030705.htm === Iraqi Resistance Report for events of Saturday, 2 July 2005 : - In latest crime: American occupation troops kill five Iraqi civilians whose car broke down on the way to Jordan - Four US troops reported killed in Resistance bombing near al-Khalidiyah Saturday morning - Eight US troops reported killed in Resistance ambush northeast of al-Hadithah Saturday morning - Iraqi Resistance bombards US 'Ayn al-Asad base midday Saturday - Four US troops reported killed in Friday evening attack - Twenty puppet "shock troops" killed in martyrdom Resistance attack on puppet headquarters in al-Yarmuk, Saturday morning - Iraqi Resistance roadside bomb blasts US tank column on Airport Road Saturday afternoon - Four foreign mercenaries killed in Resistance bombing on Airport road Saturday afternoon - Resistance bomb blasts Iraqi puppet police patrol in al-Mahmudiyah Saturday - Resistance fighters ambush joint US-Iraqi puppet patrol Saturday afternoon, US Blockade of Buhriz continues, now in second week - Resistance bombards US base in Samarra' late Saturday afternoon - Battle rages in Mosul Saturday - Resistance shoots down US Cobra helicopter Saturday morning http://www.albasrah.net/en_articles_2005/0705/iraqiresistancereport_020705.htm === Iraqi government worried about civilian killings by US fire The Iraqi government said it was worried about the rise in incidents of civilian deaths by US fire and that Prime Minister Ibrahim Jaafari will raise the issue with US officials. http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20050703/wl_mideast_afp/iraqusmilitary_050703164240;_ylt=AiZg74pNFvzTTyaLbha5vvxX6GMA;_ylu=X3oDMTBiMW04NW9mBHNlYwMlJVRPUCUl === Car bomb killed three Iraqi policemen north of Baghdad: Two U.S. soldiers were wounded in a suicide attack near a checkpoint in the volatile western city of Ramadi. http://snipurl.com/g092 === Bridget Gibson: Righting the Fight: On Friday, I learned that Bart Tucker, a 19 year old boy from Sioux City, Iowa, lost BOTH OF HIS ARMS in Iraq last week, joining the more than 12,000 boys and men, girls and women hideously maimed and wounded. Last Tuesday night, George Bush had the audacity to tell us all that the "sacrifices were worth it" in Iraq. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article9365.htm http://snipurl.com/g09d === Brits and Americans divided over Iraq pullout as Afghanistan slides toward civil war: There is clearly a behind-the-scenes struggle going on between the Brits and Americans over a pullout from Iraq, http://www.simplyappalling.blogspot.com/#112006385767972003 http://snipurl.com/g09m === Uri Avnery: "Let him die! Let him die!" : Arik's Horror Show : All the world saw the horror on TV: a Palestinian boy lying on the ground, unconscious. An Israeli soldier bending over him, not knowing what to do. A settler coming up from behind and throwing a stone at the head of the injured Palestinian. Another settler dropping a big stone on him at point-blank range. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article9367.htm http://snipurl.com/g09o === Why "dual loyalty" is a dangerous myth Posted Jul 3, 2005 01:27 PM PST - Category: ISRAELI SPYING http://www.ureader.co.uk/message/909474.aspx === Evangelicals Eye Middle Ground On Middle East Those evangelicals pushing for an official policy say that they are responding to unconditionally pro-Israel comments attributed to the association's president, the Rev. Ted Haggard, during his recent trip to Israel. After a May 10 meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Sharon, Haggard was quoted in The Jerusalem Post as saying that his organization's official policy was to support Israel "come hell or high water" and that he and his fellow evangelicals believe that Sharon was chosen by God to lead Israel in this difficult time in history. Haggard immediately denied making the comments, but not in time to stop them from being carried in American Christian newspapers. http://www.forward.com/main/printer-friendly.php?id=3395 === U. S.
