=== News Update === America is led by a brutal, mocking, heedless Caligula Killing Joke: The Day the American Republic Died http://www.nytimes.com/2005/07/11/opinion/11herbert.html?hp=&pagewanted=print, usefully reminds us of the comedy routine that Bush performed for a sycophantic audience of TV and radio "journalists" back in March 2004: the infamous "hunt for WMD" in the Oval Office. As you'll recall, this was a series of cutesy shots showing Bush peering behind the office curtains, looking under the rug while cracking wise: "No weapons of mass destruction under here! Maybe they're over here?" and so on. http://empireburlesquenow.blogspot.com/2005/07/killing-joke-day-american-republic.html === Foreign Policy - Torture, Racism, & the Sovereign President Torture, murder, and assassination have become vital to U.S. empire-building President George W. Bush has embedded murder, assassination, torture, and mistreatment of prisoners into the structure of the U.S. system of global domination. Many U.S. citizens, rightly outraged, want to know why this sort of barbaric, sadistic violence has become an integral part of U.S. security policy, and what the Administrations justification of torture means institutionally for the future governance of this country. Above all, they want to know how Bush has been able to avoid impeachment for committing high crimes. http://zmagsite.zmag.org/JulAug2005/bix0705.html === In case you missed it?: Chalmers Johnson: Sorrows Of Empire: The United States has been inching toward imperialism and militarism for many years. Disguising the direction they were taking, American leaders cloaked their foreign policy in euphemisms such as "lone superpower," "indispensable nation," "reluctant sheriff," "humanitarian intervention," and "globalization." However, with the advent of the George Bush administration in 2001, these pretenses gave way to assertions of the Second Coming of the Roman Empire. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article5290.htm http://snipurl.com/g6kw === Presidents Will Break Laws To Achieve Goals The recent revelation that W. Mark Felt, the former number two person at the FBI, was the anonymous source known as Deep Throat who helped Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein unravel the Watergate scandal in the pages of the Washington Post 30 years ago, should be seen as an important reminder that the leader of the free world can be devious, corrupt, and dishonest. http://zmagsite.zmag.org/JulAug2005/leopoldpr0705.html === Bush said he 'preciates folks dyin' for the cause. Are The Good Times Really Over For Good? Many of us are weary of feeling like we're the the last person standing -- sloshing around in a Stepford world of hate and fear and blood -- where every man, woman and child we meet has "9-11" tattooed on their foreheads, and they don't even know it.. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article9445.htm http://snipurl.com/g6jq === Blair's blowback : Of course those who backed the Iraq war refute any link with the London bombs - they are in the deepest denial Shortly after September 11 2001, when the slightest mention of a link between US foreign policy and the terrorist attacks brought accusations of heartless heresy, the then US national security adviser, Condoleezza Rice got to work. Between public displays of grief and solemnity she managed to round up the senior staff of the National Security Council and ask them to think seriously about "how do you capitalise on these opportunities" to fundamentally change American doctrine and the shape of the world. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article9446.htm http://snipurl.com/g6jr === Boy president in a failed world? "The war on terror goes on ..." What a thing to say. We are now in a destabilizing world, and it will undoubtedly only get worse as Bush's "war" to stop terror goes on and on and on. It is perhaps an insult to children to compare the Bush administration to them, but I'm at a loss for images. I'm a deeply civil person. If I had my choice, like so many people in this world of ours, I would simply wash my hands of their apocalypts and ours. Unfortunately, that's not possible. Theirs, at least, are someone else's responsibility, but Bush and his malign fictional worlds are, it seems, mine. http://snipurl.com/g6js === Bush Policy Of Arrogance More Foes, Few Friends: It is not just the US that has changed irrevocably after the most horrendous attack on America on September 11, 2001. The whole world has changed since then, and yet many in the West have little idea about how much the change has been. http://www.thedailystar.net/2005/07/08/d50708020526.htm === Video : Democracy Hypocrisy Iraq In The Name Of Freedom : - Warning - Video contains images depicting the reality and horror of war and should be viewed by a mature audience http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article9174.htm === This terror will continue until we take Arab grievances seriously Our focus must now be on the conditions that allow Bin Ladenists to recruit and operate http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article9431.htm === Al-Qaeda and the Real Trinity of Terror Has the British prime minister forgotten who Al-Qaedas parents are? I remind him then that the United States is Al-Qaedas father and Israel is the mother of that illegitimate child, Ayatollah Mohammad Emami Kashani declared after the London bombings in response to Blairs criticism of Islam. It was you yourselves that created this group in the name of Islam and therefore the conduct of a child whose father is the global arrogance, or the White House, and its mothers are the Israeli butchers should not surprise anyone . You also armed the former Iraqi president Saddam Hussein to teeth with all kinds of armaments to create problems for Iran, but it is again you yourselves that are caught in Iraqs quagmires. http://kurtnimmo.com/blog/?p=815 === When Lies Become Truth Orwell Rolls In His Grave: A Must Watch Documentary http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article8560.htm === Stop all the terror! Troops out of Iraq and Afghanistan On July 7, some of the horrific consequences of the war on terror hit working-class Londoners. In a series of bomb blasts on the London tube and buses, more than 50 people were killed, and more than 700 injured, many losing limbs or suffering other debilitating injuries. http://www.greenleft.org.au/back/2005/633/633p24.htm === Paymasters Of Carnage The ghost at Gleneagles In the orgy of summit coverage something has been overlooked: the two men at the heart of it, telling us how the world should be run, are the men responsible for Fallujah and Abu Ghraib. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article9432.htm http://snipurl.com/g5p2 === Full text: Secretary of State's Secret Memo This paper sets out some of the key contextual considerations; identifies areas of uncertainty; sets out what we know of US planning and possible expectations on the UK contribution; and assesses the potential impact on UK decision making. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article9440.htm === A Letter to the British People from a daughter of Iraq We dont hate the British people or the peoples of the world. This war was imposed upon us, but we are now fighting it in defense of our selves. Because we want to live in our homeland the free land of Iraq and to live as we want to live, not as your government or the American government wish. http://www.1924.org/opinion/index.php?id=2005_0_34_0_M === Only six months ago Fallujah was proclaimed "the safest place in Iraq" ... It will never be for the occupiers. "The US military has launched an operation ["Operation Scimitar"] against insurgents around Fallujah only six months after its officials proclaimed the city "the safest place in Iraq". The initiative, launched on Thursday but publicised only at the weekend, involved hundreds of marines supported by 100 Iraqi soldiers sweeping through the fertile farmland and villages south of the city." http://abutamam.blogspot.com/2005/07/only-six-months-ago-fallujah-was.html === 39,000 Iraqis killed in fighting, new study finds: It builds on a study published in The Lancet, a British medical journal, last October, which concluded there had been 100,000 "excess deaths" in Iraq from all causes since March 2003. http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/N11220315.htm http://snipurl.com/g6ke === The Battle after the Battle: Soldiers say military pushes them to discharge before medical needs are met. http://snipurl.com/g6lh === Iraqi suspects suffocate in police custody: Nine bricklayers detained by security forces on suspicion of involvement with Iraqi insurgents have suffocated to death while held for over 14 hours in a police van. http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems/200507/s1411888.htm http://snipurl.com/g6k6 === Two Marines Kileed In Hit: Two Marines assigned to Regimental Combat Team 2, 2nd Marine Division, II Marine Expeditionary Force (Forward), were killed in action July 10 by indirect fire while conducting combat operations in Hit, Iraq. http://snipurl.com/g6kc === Suicide bomb kills 25 Iraqi army recruits: A man with explosives strapped to his chest killed 25 and wounded 47 people at a Baghdad army recruitment centre in a new surge of violence in Iraq in which at least 50 people died. http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/story.jsp?story=652071 http://snipurl.com/g6k0 === Eleven Iraqi soldiers killed as diplomats promised more protection: Iraq insurgents killed 11 soldiers on Monday as Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari promised more protection for diplomats after the abduction and murder of Egypts head of mission. http://snipurl.com/g6k2 === Two Soldiers Killed: Two soldiers were shot dead as they searched homes near the town of Al-Azisiyah for a fugitive suspect, the army said. http://snipurl.com/g6ka === Montrealer sold to U.S. troops: wife: Northern Alliance got $5,000, she says; http://snipurl.com/g6jn === Al-Qaeda, Taliban teaming up: minister: A resurgent al-Qaeda terror network has teamed up with Taliban militants in Afghanistan to unleash a wave of attacks which have killed about 600 people this year, a senior government minister said on Saturday. http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/world/archives/2005/07/11/2003263061 http://snipurl.com/g6jz === "Terror" suspects escape US Afghan base : The escape from Bagram is the latest reversal for US forces in Afghanistan. http://www.guardian.co.uk/afghanistan/story/0,1284,1526159,00.html http://snipurl.com/g6jx === 17 Killed in Fresh Violence in Afghanistan : Reports from Afghanistan say 12 Afghan soldiers were killed Sunday when their vehicle ran over a land mine in eastern Paktika province. http://www.turkishweekly.net/news.php?id=14731 http://snipurl.com/g6ju === Missing U.S. commando's body found in Afghanistan: The body of a missing U.S. commando has been located in eastern Afghanistan, the military said Monday, bringing an end to the desperate search for the last member of an ill-fated, four-man special forces unit that disappeared last month. http://www.cbc.ca/cp/world/050711/w071134.html http://snipurl.com/g6jv === 700 More US Troops To Be Deployed In Afghanistan : The troops are to be deployed from Fort Bragg, N.C., the Pentagon said on its Web site http://snipurl.com/g6ji === Team recounts fear in US detention: Contractors' tale reflects tensions with the military http://snipurl.com/g6kz === Why the Road to 9/11 Truth Passes Through London Those in the 9/11 truth movement would gain tremendous leverage for our work by publicizing the truth behind the London subway bombings, and then driving home the similarities to 9/11. http://georgewashington.blogspot.com/ === London Bombing has the Scent of an Inside Job Posted Jul 11, 2005 03:33 PM PST - Category: COVER-UP/DECEPTIONS http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&FriendID=11173369&blogMonth=7&blogDate=7&blogYear=2005 === Explosives Used by Terrorists in London and Tel Aviv Identical Were both incidents "False flags"? Was Achilli Lauro a "false flag" attack? Was Munich? Are all these terror incidents blamed on Arabs, like the Lavon Affair, faked to turn world opinion against the Palestinians for Israel's political benefit? In his book, "Abu Nidal: A Gun For HIre" author Patrick Seale makes a strong case that Abu Nidal, the supposed mastermind of both Achilli Lauro and Munuch, was in fact an agent of the Mossad. http://www.israelnationalnews.com/news.php3?id=85555 === Welcome to Zionised Britain: Seemingly, we are now supposed to be learning from the experience of the Israelis. Ask yourselves why. Simply because we are now fully Zionised, we are fighting the Zionist wars and we pay the heaviest price for it. http://peacepalestine.blogspot.com/2005/07/gilad-atzmon-marxism-2005-talk.html http://snipurl.com/g6kn === Barrier Meant to Ensure Jewish Majority Israel's separation barrier in and around Jerusalem is meant to ensure a Jewish majority in the disputed city, a Cabinet minister acknowledged Monday, contradicting government claims that the divider is solely a temporary security measure. UN Resolution 127: " . . . 'recommends' Israel suspends it's 'no-man's zone' in Jerusalem". UN Resolution 250: " . . . 'calls' on Israel to refrain from holding military parade in Jerusalem".

"Agency" means CIA. This is not good news for Rove and the White House. http://snipurl.com/g6l2 === -muslim voice- ___________________________________ BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO KNOW -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
