=== News Update === The 2005 International Commission of Inquiry on Crimes Against Humanity Committed by the Bush Administration of the United States See: http://www.nion.us/Commission/call-charter.htm === U.S. is approaching a spiritual death. Redemption Within Reach for the American Empire Our dark cabal of Neocon leaders, several of whom have held positions of great power under Reagan, Bush I, and now Bush II, are perpetuating unrestrained expansion of the American Empire while utilizing Orwellian propaganda to convince its subjects that they are still living in the "land of the free". http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article9849.htm http://snipurl.com/h1t5 === America's Good Germans? A Mercenary Society Since the end of World War II, the U.S. power elite have done a masterful job of transforming the country into a militarized state with a permanent wartime economy. There has always been resistance to that project on the margins, but because the United States is an incredibly affluent nation -- and these policies promise continued affluence -- there is strong motivation for many to ignore the consequences of this militarization. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article9837.htm http://snipurl.com/h1t8 === America Programmed for War: Cause and Solution "What one generation perceives as repression, the next accepts as a necessary part of a complex daily life." A single policy decision made in secluded chambers of the White House shortly after World War II explains why our financial and intellectual creativity focuses on lethal technologies, why 51% of our taxes go to defense and less than 5% to education, why there are 6000 military bases in the United States and 1000 US bases overseas, why comprehensive agendas support warfighting and weak agendas address human services and the environment, and why our top industry since 1950 remains the manufacture and sale of weapons. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article9831.htm http://snipurl.com/h1t9 === Fears For Free Speech Will those who support liberation movements in, for example, Kashmir or Chechnya be denied freedom of expression?" If those who seek to understand what drives people to commit terrorist acts are vilified as "just one notch less despicable" themselves, we can say goodbye to freedom of speech. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article9836.htm http://snipurl.com/h1tb === Excusing tyranny breeds distrust and violence: Supporting dictators belies 'progress' on democracy and human rights http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article9840.htm http://snipurl.com/h1uf === The primary divide The real issue in Iraq is not the constitution but the split between those doing business with the occupation and others fighting for fundamental sovereignty http://weekly.ahram.org.eg/2005/756/re11.htm http://snipurl.com/h1tp === The game is over: The United States has lost the Iraq war: It's over. For the United States to win the Iraq war requires three things: defeating the Iraqi resistance; establishing a stable government in Iraq that is friendly to the US; maintaining the support of the American people. None of these three seem any longer possible. http://weekly.ahram.org.eg/2005/756/op8.htm http://snipurl.com/h1tj === U.S. Iraqi Forces Shoot Dead Three civilians: Three civilians were shot dead after a raid on their house by U.S. and Iraqi troops in Amariya district, western Baghdad, witnesses said.

For it's becoming increasingly clear that Bush does have an exit strategy from Iraq -- and it runs through Iran. http://context.themoscowtimes.com/story/155469/ http://snipurl.com/h1vb === Israel Behind The Iraq War -- "Vile Anti-Semitic Rhetoric", Or Just Plain Facts? Of course, anyone with any knowledge of the origins of the Iraq War knows that it was cooked up by Neocons who are almost all Jewish extremist supporters of Israel. The four leading promoters of America going to war against Iraq were Richard Perle, Paul Wolfowitz, Douglas Feith, and David Wurmser. All four are Jewish supporters of the radical Likud party in Israel. Perle, Feith, and Wurmser wrote a strategic paper for the foreign government of Israel and Benjiman Netanyahu in 1996 called A "Clean Break, A New Strategy for Securing the Realm." Although these men became the framers of the American Iraq War policy, the paper they wrote was about securing Israel's realm by fostering war against Iraq and ultimately Syria and Iran. http://www.libertyforum.org/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=iraq_war&Number=293894367&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=21&part === Putin calls for Iraq troop pullout timetable: Russian President Vladimir Putin called for a timetable for the withdrawal of foreign military forces from Iraq. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article9852.htm http://snipurl.com/h1tq === Sen. Feingold Urges Troop Withdrawal By End of '06: Sen. Russell Feingold (D-Wis.) called on the White House yesterday to withdraw all U.S. forces from Iraq by the end of next year and criticized fellow Democrats for being too "timid" in challenging the Bush administration's war policy. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article9853.htm http://snipurl.com/h1ts === Four US soldiers killed in Iraq: The soldiers were killed by a roadside bomb in the northern town of Samarra, the US military said, taking to around 50 the US military deaths across Iraq in August http://www.politicalgateway.com/news/read.html?id=4593 http://snipurl.com/h1tc === Nation back mother of dead soldier: Thousands support woman at Bush ranch http://snipurl.com/h1tv === Close Informant And Friend Of Former FBI Agent John O'Neill, Killed on 9/11, Tells How FBI Higher-Ups 'Shut Him Down' Letting 9/11 Happen A Seattle woman who was a close informant of former FBI agent and Al Qaeda hunter John O'Neill during the crucial months prior to the 9/11, said they both provided vital information in an attempt to stop the attack but were blocked by officials in the New York and Washington bureaus every step of the way. http://www.rense.com/general67/close.htm === Fire Dept Tape Invalidates Key Points Official 911 Story And what, exactly, does all this mean? It means that the total structural failure of the two massive, superbly-engineered/designed edifices known as the WTC towers did NOT result from jet fuel flash-fires burning at under 900 degrees Fahrenheit -- when steel used in WTC construction needed temperatures over THREE TIMES HIGHER to actually "MELT." http://www.fourwinds10.com/news/05-government/C-fraud/01-911/2005/05C1-08-13-05-fire-dept-tape-invalidates-key-points-official-story.html === Chaos of 9/11 revealed in vivid oral histories Looks like someone is trying to whip up the ghost of 9-11 right now. I wonder why?

It is the staged evacuation of 8000 Jewish settlers from their illegal settlement homes, and it has been carefully designed to create imagery to support Israel's US-backed takeover of the West Bank and cantonization of the Palestinians. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article9838.htm http://snipurl.com/h1u0 === Israel Shamir: Gaza: Disengagement Is Sham, but the Wall of Separation Is Real : The Israeli News agency announced that "The IDF is to build another security fence around the Gaza Strip.
