How The War on Terror Made the World a More Terrifying Place
New figures show dramatic rise in terror attacks worldwide since the
invasion of Iraq. Innocent people across the world are now paying the
price of the "Iraq effect", with the loss of hundreds of lives directly
linked to the invasion and occupation by American and British forces.

US Turnabout? Engagement and Confrontation in the Middle East
Gradually but emphatically the facts of the U.S. policy of first igniting
the sectarian divide in Iraq then playing the emerging sectarian
protagonists against each other are unfolding by the day to reveal the
context as well as the real goals of the American strategy in the occupied
country.

U.S. Hypocrisy in the Middle East
Hundreds of thousands of American troops already occupy Afghanistan and
Iraq, a number that is rising as the military surge moves forward. The
justification, given endlessly since September 11th, is that both support
terrorism and thus pose a risk to the United States. Yet when we step back
and examine the region as a whole, its obvious that these two impoverished
countries, neither of which has any real military, pose very little threat
to American national security when compared to other Middle Eastern
nations. The decision to attack them, while treating some of regions worst
regimes as allies, shows the deadly hypocrisy of our foreign policy in the
Middle East.

Nemesis: The Last Days of the American Republic"
In his new book, CIA analyst, distinguished scholar, and best-selling
author Chalmers Johnson argues that US military and economic overreach may
actually lead to the nation's collapse as a constitutional republic. It's
the last volume in his Blowback trilogy, following the best-selling
"Blowback" and "The Sorrows of Empire." In those two, Johnson argued
American clandestine and military activity has led to un-intended, but
direct disaster here in the United States..

9/11 ONCOVER :
Another Smoking Gun? Now CNN Jumps the Gun: On 911 CNN Announced WTC 7 "Has
Either Collapsed or is Collapsing" Over an Hour Before it Fell
Both before and after 9-11, no steel-framed building had ever collapsed
from a fire. The First Interstate Bank building in Los Angeles had, as one
example, burned right down to the frame without collapsing.
So who was telling BBC and CNN that the building was going to collapse, and
how could they possibly know that, absent a deliberate demolition? (

9/11 Uncover : Time Stamp Confirms BBC Reported WTC 7 Collapse 26 Minutes
In Advance
Both the announcer in the clip and the lower third banner report the
collapse of WTC-7. The time stamp shows 21:54, or 9:54 PM British Time.
(During the summer, British "summer" time is one hour ahead of Greenwich
Mean or "Universal Time".)
Since the US is also on "Daylight Savings Time" in September, 9:54 PM
British Time is 4:54 PM East Coast Time. That is roughly 20 minutes before
WTC-7 actually came down.
What seems to be emerging here is that Flight 93 was planned to crash into
WTC-7. When Flight 93 had to be shot down instead because the crew regained
control, WTC-7 still had to come down or the pre-placed explosives inside
would have given the whole game away. What seems likely is that a time was
set for the demolition and sent out to agents in the media, but there was
an unexpected delay to clear responders from the building, which is why
WTC-7 is seen still standing behind the female announcer even as she
reports the building as destroyed.

9/11 Uncover : BBC reports on WTC7 collapse 20 minutes before it collapsed!
So far the BBC's response has been :
a) the BBC couldn't have known and therefore they couldn't have reported
it. This is a patent falsehood, as the BBC very clearly DID report on it
before it happened, as shown by the video,
and
b) that the BBC has lost it's archive footage from that day and so of
course they can make no comment.

BBC Responds to Building 7 Controversy; Claim 9/11 Tapes Lost
Pathetic five paragraph blog rebuttal does not answer questions as to
source of report that Salomon Building was coming down, BBC claims tapes
lost due to "cock-up" not conspiracy.
The BBC has been forced to respond to footage showing their correspondent
reporting the collapse of WTC 7 before it fell on 9/11, claiming tapes from
the day are somehow missing, and refusing to identify the source for their
bizarre act of "clairvoyance" in accurately pre-empting the fall of Building 7.

9/11 Uncover : BBC MEDIA MANAGEMENT POLICY
Two broadcast standard copies of all transmitted/published TV, Radio and

browse-quality version for research purposes, to protect the broadcast material
So, BBC's claim that they lost the 9-11 tapes and are unable to confirm the
exact time they reported the collapse of WTC-7 is (drum roll, please)
another lie.

BBC's 9/11 Conspiracy Files: Points Which Were Ignored
On February 18, 2007 the BBC aired the documentary 9/11: The Conspiracy
Files. A brief summary of the programme:
The USAF could not prevent the attacks because transponders in the hijacked
jets were turned off. Explosives in the twin towers were "debunked" by
Popular Mechanics (now there's a joke). The demolition of WTC 7 was also
"debunked" by the ever reliable Popular Mechanics. The rest of the
programme was dedicated to straw men. Was the Pentagon was hit by a plane?
Did Flight 93 crash in Pennysylvania or did it land elsewhere? Did 4000
Jews skip work in the WTC on 9/11? Were the attacks predicted in the pilot
of the "Lone Gunmen" TV show? Finally, the programme finished with an
irrelevant piece on pre-9/11 warnings which were missed.
The conclusion of the BBC: the evidence doesn't support conspiracy theories.
Okay, let's take a look at a some facts which were "overlooked" by the BBC.

ESTIMATES BASED ON ESTIMATES : Tony Blair told the truth on July 18, 2004.
Not one word in U.S. press.
The number of deaths attributed to Saddam Hussein by the West is
incomprehensible. If you add them all up, it seems he killed more people
than the number who inhabit Iraq. He had to work overtime and must have had
advanced weaponry of which no one is aware.
Numbers and techniques abound: 182,000 during the Anfal campaign (Despite
the numbers, not one body has been found. Maybe Saddam had a secret
vaporizing ray); 5,000 in Halabja (About 300 bodies were found and there is
much doubt as to the origin of the gas used against the Kurds); and
hundreds of thousands in the south of Iraq.
In November 2003, word came out that more than 400,000 bodies had been
discovered in mass graves in Iraq. "The whole country is a mass graveyard"
was the slogan of the day. Finally, proof of Saddam being the Butcher of
Baghdad was there for the whole world to see. Case closed.
Lets go forward a few months from the discovery of the almost half million
bodies. On July 18, 2004, the headline of the day for the British paper The
Independent read, "British Prime Minister Admits Graves Claim Untrue." How
could that be? George Bush and Tony Blair dont lie. If we cant trust
them, who can we trust? Certainly not Saddam, even though he told the truth
about WMD. That must have been a fluke.

The language of Parrots.
Some years ago, I read a beautiful Sufi treatise by Farradin'Attar entitled
"Conference of the Birds". Like all powerful Sufi stories, this one stayed
with me. The story, an allegory, is basically about a flock of different
kinds of birds wanting to meet the Simorgh. The Simorgh being none other
than the "highest" Bird. After a lengthy and torturous travel route, only a
few made it to the Simorgh. Many gave up half way. Some got stuck in their
own stories, others just dropped out from sheer exhaustion and others were
afraid to venture beyond...
But only those that were earnestly seeking to meet Him, managed to make it
and reached their final destination.
Of course, Farradin'Attar in his brilliant way, meant the Simorgh as a
metaphor for Truth. Now, I have been receiving tons of mail, from all kinds
of people...
Some write to me with the same old verbiage, regurgitated about a thousand
times...
And it goes like this:" I am anti-occupation, but...Saddam was an
Imperialist thug"..."I am against what is happening but you see, you have
to understand, that Saddam was a tyrant"..."I really don't like this, but
frankly you guys brought it onto yourselves...after all he was a
dictator"..." It is all because of him...he was nothing but a traitor"..."
He was a CIA/Zionist...yeah that's him"...

Iraq's Superbombs: Home Made?
Where are Iraq's superbombs coming from, really? The Pentagon is claiming
-- again -- the the Iranian government supplied the deadly "explosively
formed penetrators" (EFPs). But the more you study these devices -- which
use an explosive charge to a convert disc-shaped metal 'lens' into a
high-velocity slug capable of smashing through thick armor at an extended
range - the more likely they seem to be home-made in Iraq.

Attack near Cheney called sign war failing
A deadly daylight attack on the huge U.S. military base at Bagram,
Afghanistan, during a visit by Vice President Dick Cheney underscores the
diminishing American prospects for military success in the region, analysts
said yesterday.
The suicide bomb attack at the base front gate - literally on the doorstep
of the U.S. military command headquarters in Afghanistan - left the vice
president unhurt. But the blast killed 23 people, including two U.S.
soldiers, the Associated Press reported. The Taliban, which have mounted
increasingly brazen attacks on U.S. and Afghan government troops and
facilities, claimed responsibility.
The Afghanis see us as occupiers, not "liberators", no matter what kind of
bunkum comes out of the mouths of the talking heads on television or radio.
