[cia-drugs] Iraqi Police Arm Mahdi Men
We knew that. What's interesting is that both the Washington Post and Washington Times published that Iraqi police left Shiite neighborhoods which are under attack by US military occupation troops, and that as they did, police handed over their weapons to local militia the US is attacking. The Post published a photo on page A1 showing an Iraqi policeman handing a rifle to a militia leader. An hour later, according to the Post, US troops left the neighborhood. Good idea! WashPost and WashTimes, March 30, 2008 In the Times, Oliver North noticed a direct relationship between the number of Iraqi civilians killed by US troops and quantitative measures of the strength and effectiveness of Iraqi resistance to the unprovoked invasion by US troops. We kill civilians, they kill more US troops. If nothing else is going on strategically, Ollie, isn't that strategic enough for you? Larry the Liar spins another troll. Now we know why the British pulled out of Basra in December. They didn't, that was just a propaganda play so now it can be claimed that the Iraqis attacked the Shiites, and the British are helping, rather than the crusaders initiated again. The other day, the US crusaders were drawn in to the Iraqi offensive, rather than the unprovoked foreign invaders and occupiers initiating an offensive. And a photo of a wounded Iraqi boy did not say that he was wounded by US troops, but rather, that he was recovering, i.e. not wounded but recovering. Spin. In other news, a photo of a beaver without a tail was actually a photo of a groundhog, also known as woodchuck, which looks like a beaver without a tail. Maybe Warco was testing us there. How many people pointed out the truth, that it was a woodchuck? Warco wants to know precisely how dumbed down we are. Five Warco companies own 90% of US media. Warco is on track for three Warco companies to own 95% of US media by the time the lame duck has to go. Then they can show us a photo of a duck and call it a beaver, and that will only amount to Torture Lite for the few who notice, and know that no one else does.

[cia-drugs] Russia challenges US in the Islamic world
Russia challenges US in the Islamic world By M K Bhadrakumar Mar 29, 2008 When US President George W Bush named Karachi-born Pakistani American Sada Cumber as the first US envoy to the Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC), the White House announcement of February 27 almost passed off as pork-barrel politics on the part of a lame-duck administration. Cumber is a Texan entrepreneur - and so was Bush. Cumber is founder of CACH Capital Management based in Austin, Texas, which is a high-performance wealth management firm with acumen and expertise in rendering advisory services to Muslim countries flushed with disposable petrodollar sovereign wealth funds. But then wouldn't Bush know the OIC is not an institution for investment selection and portfolio structure? White House press secretary Dana Perino explained that Bush considered the OIC to be an important organization and that's why he appointed a special envoy. She said, The [OIC] has a constructive role to play in the world, and the president is signaling our desire to have a greater dialogue with the organization as well as Muslims around the world. But the OIC has been existence for 39 years - and Muslims for over a millennium. Why now? In June last year Bush first articulated the thought of deputing an envoy to the OIC. Why the delay? When the media asked Perino why Bush had taken so long, she merely said, He [Bush] wanted to find the right person and he found that in Sada Cumber. Islamic card in Kosovo There is reason to believe, however, that it was in the month of February that the Bush administration woke up to a new reality that cultivating the 57-member OIC could indeed make all the difference in the years to come. Around that time, Washington almost instinctively played the Islamic card against Moscow, and found to its dismay that what used to be a highly dependable and potent trump card in Cold War politics is no longer so, and, in fact, it turned out to be a dud card. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov succinctly captured Washington's OIC heartache when he commented in an interview with the government newspaper Rossiskaya Gazeta, It is not without meaning that many nations, including Islamic states, do not intend to recognize Kosovo's independence. With a touch of sarcasm, Lavrov underscored post-Soviet Russia's reversal of roles with the US in the Muslim world. He added, I would like to caution against the temptation to succumb to exhortations that are coming from non-Arab and non-Islamic countries but are addressed precisely to Islamic countries to display Islamic solidarity and recognize Kosovo. For, the situation in Kosovo is the most striking example of ethnic separatism. He was cautioning the Islamic world to be wary of the US attempt to Islamize the geopolitical setting in the Balkans. He warned, Disturbances have also begun in other regions of the world. To encourage separatist tendencies, I believe, is immoral. You see what is happening in China's autonomous region of Tibet, the way the separatists are acting there ... And then developments in other parts of the world as well suggest that we see only the beginning of an extremely explosive process. And those who follow this path should not call for a show of solidarity, whether Islamic or Euro-Atlantic. They ought to think of their responsibility in the first place. Soon after his interview in Moscow, Lavrov set out on yet another extended tour of the Middle East, but starting with the eleventh summit of the OIC at Dakar, Senegal, on March 13, which was he attending as an observer for the second time in a row. Among the many laurels that Russian President Vladimir Putin gathers as his eight-year tumultuous stewardship in the Kremlin draws to a close, it is often overlooked that history will most certainly judge him as a great bridge-builder between Russia and the Muslim world. Putin's achievement is extraordinary since Russia had a complex, difficult and hugely controversial relationship with the Islamic world for the better part of the last century. To be sure, Putin's effective handling of the Chechnya problem helped remove a potentially debilitating embarrassment with regard to the Muslim world. But that shouldn't detract from the singular success of his policy in ensuring that no adversary can today hope to get away with manipulating the Muslim world against Moscow in civilizational terms in the fashion in which the West managed to do through the Soviet era. Russia, instead, today is well placed to offer its good offices to mediate a dialogue of civilizations between the Christian West and the Islamic East. In fact, Lavrov in his speech at the Dakar summit of the OIC drew the attention of the Islamic world to the situation of Muslims in the European countries and the attempts by some politicians to stir up Islamophobia.

[cia-drugs] The new Brahmins
The new Brahmins By Chan Akya March 29 2008 Imagine if you fancied the roulette tables in Macau, but had a nasty habit of losing US$10,000 every time you landed there. Most sane people would get some kind of psychiatric treatment that prevented them from ever getting to Macau under those circumstances. Supposing though that a rich uncle compensated you for all your losses in Macau and also paid for your travel and hotel stay. Are you likely to return to Macau after losing a whopper this week, or not? Sitting back and absorbing the sheer scale of fraud that was perpetuated on the global financial system last week in the name of a putative rescue of Bear Stearns, I wrote When trust goes down the drain, which laid out the sound principles of central banking as enunciated by Walter Bagehot that have been serially violated in this crisis. Even as most left-leaning commentators brush off the concerns of the so-called moral hazard crowd of which this author is a card-carrying member, the fact of the matter is that we are now in the middle of a transformation. Ruminating a bit more in the morass though, especially after the eager buyer upped his price fivefold this week, it became apparent that the Ben Bernanke Fed has merely emulated its alleged bete noire, namely the Bank of Japan, whose failed policies in the 1990s caused a lost decade of growth for the country and more importantly ensured that its demographic nightmare simply accelerated. So kudos indeed to the Fed for achieving in a couple of months what the Soviet Union could not muster in its seven decades of existence - namely to destroy global market capitalism, chiefly through the demise of the Anglo-Saxon system. In rescuing Bear Stearns, the Fed was in good company, following the Bank of England and the European Central Bank (ECB) in bailing out large financial institution using taxpayers' money that they strictly did not have to account for to anyone. Yes, the details are somewhat different, namely that shareholders got different outcomes in each case and the level of oversight responsibility was different, but the inescapable conclusion from all this is that Group of Seven (G7)central bankers are utterly corrupt besides being terrifyingly incompetent. As I wrote in a previous article (Euro-trash, Asia Times Online, March 11, 2008), the ECB sowed the seeds for its own policy inflexibility by blithely rescuing every bank that came begging on its knees. The fractured nature of the European economy, its lack of service and system integration and mind-numbing political details all allowed the mandarins of the ECB to quietly pass favors to their constituent banks. While on the above-referenced article, a reader wrote in to complain that I had merely misunderstood the superiority of Europe, and invited me to Sweden, which is apparently the Mecca of something called market socialism. As it turns out, the region boasts the worst record of banking losses and subsequent taxpayer rescues, with an average of 18% of gross domestic product following the 1991-92 bust. Since the government provided assistance without taking over equity capital, tax burdens needed to be higher for longer for these countries to pay for the mess. Thus, people's natural tendency to grow and become richer was sacrificed at the altar of this demon called market socialism. The net result is that Scandinavia boasts the highest incidence of suicides in the Western world - yes, I am sure to tell the Asia Times Online reader to expect me to begin living in this paradise soon enough. To think that the original models for the Fed actions from the middle of last year were set in the Scandinavian and Japanese crises of the last decade only makes us more puzzled, rather than less. The aftermath of those crises was to stunt the economic growth of both regions (Scandinavia and Japan) once specific extraneous influences are removed from the picture - for example, the rise in oil prices that benefited Norway and the technology bubble that helped a part of the Japanese economy in the 1990s. The Japanese merged a bunch of banks together but refused to take the necessary steps that could have made the combined banks more efficient in terms of utilizing scarce resources such as capital and good people. Scandinavian banks attempted to split the good and bad banks, but eventually put everything back together without any serious change in industrial structure. Meanwhile, to absorb the costs of the rescues, the governments had to issue billions in new debt, which had to be bought by the rescued banks at artificially low yields because the governments would have themselves been bankrupted by higher charges. As the system's decline was arrested with the strong government backing, banks found themselves in new problem areas - namely that they did not know what to do with the billions in deposits that were sitting in their books.

[cia-drugs] America pimps 6 year old Iraqi girls, 9 year olds in Afghanistan
Monday, March 31, 2008America pimps 9 year olds in Afghanistanhttp://tinyurl.com/33xqp6 The Opium Brides of Afghanistan In the country's poppy-growing provinces, farmers are being forced to sell their daughters to pay loans. Sami Yousafzai and Ron Moreau NEWSWEEK Updated: 1:19 PM ET Mar 29, 2008 Khalida's father says she's 9or maybe 10. As much as Sayed Shah loves his 10 children, the functionally illiterate Afghan farmer can't keep track of all their birth dates. Khalida huddles at his side, trying to hide beneath her chador and headscarf. They both know the family can't keep her much longer. Khalida's father has spent much of his life raising opium, as men like him have been doing for decades in the stony hillsides of eastern Afghanistan and on the dusty southern plains. It's the only reliable cash crop most of those farmers ever had. Even so, Shah and his family barely got by: traffickers may prosper, but poor farmers like him only subsist. Now he's losing far more than money. I never imagined I'd have to pay for growing opium by giving up my daughter, says Shah. The family's heartbreak began when Shah borrowed $2,000 from a local trafficker, promising to repay the loan with 24 kilos of opium at harvest time. Late last spring, just before harvest, a government crop-eradication team appeared at the family's little plot of land in Laghman province and destroyed Shah's entire two and a half acres of poppies. Unable to meet his debt, Shah fled with his family to Jalalabad, the capital of neighboring Nangarhar province. The trafficker found them anyway and demanded his opium. So Shah took his case before a tribal council in Laghman and begged for leniency. Instead, the elders unanimously ruled that Shah would have to reimburse the trafficker by giving Khalida to him in marriage. Now the family can only wait for the 45-year-old drugrunner to come back for his prize. Khalida wanted to be a teacher someday, but that has become impossible. It's my fate, the child says. Afghans disparagingly call them loan bridesdaughters given in marriage by fathers who have no other way out of debt. The practice began with the dowry a bridegroom's family traditionally pays to the bride's father in tribal Pashtun society. These days the amount ranges from $3,000 or so in poorer places like Laghman and Nangarhar to $8,000 or more in Helmand, Afghanistan's No. 1 opium-growing province. For a desperate farmer, that bride price can be salvationbut at a cruel cost. Among the Pashtun, debt marriage puts a lasting stain on the honor of the bride and her family. It brings shame on the country, too. President Hamid Karzai recently told the nation: I call on the people [not to] give their daughters for money; they shouldn't give them to old men, and they shouldn't give them in forced marriages. --MORE-- Posted by CRIMES AND CORRUPTION OF THE NEW WORLD ORDER NEWS mparent Marc Parent CCNWON at 12:11 PM 0 comments Links to this post Labels: afghanistan, children http://tinyurl.com/33xqp6 America pimps 6 year old Iraqi girlshttp://tinyurl.com/2mnacq 6 year old Iraqi girls forced into prostitution As a result of the Iraqi invasion many Iraqi girls have fled the violence to Syria.

Jewish leaders are calling on Mosley, the son of British fascist leader Oswald Mosley, to resign. AFP FIA president Max Mosley is under pressure over sex allegations. The president of Formula One's governing body FIA is under pressure to resign over sex allegations made by a British tabloid newspaper. The News of the World reported Sunday that Max Mosley, 67, had taken part in a sick Nazi orgy with five prostitutes involving Nazi role-playing. The allegations are based on a five-hour video obtained by the newspaper, which shows a man identified as Max Mosley acting out various sadomasochistic role-plays in a London apartment. One prostitute inspects the man's genitals and searches his hair for lice in an obscene parody of the treatment of concentration camp inmates during the Third Reich. The man is whipped by one dominatrix before himself whipping two prostitutes wearing concentration camp-style striped uniforms. The man also addresses the prostitutes in German during the role-plays, although one girl reportedly confesses in the video to not understanding what he is saying. The man also reportedly engages in sex acts with the prostitutes before finishing off the sex session with a cup of tea. Jewish leaders in the UK have condemned the video. “This is sick and depraved,” Karen Pollock, chief executive of the Holocaust Educational Trust, told the London Times. “I am absolutely appalled.” This is an insult to millions of victims, survivors and their families, Stephen Smith, director of the Holocaust Centre, also told the newspaper. He should apologize. He should resign from the sport.” Formula One chief executive Bernie Ecclestone, who is a personal friend of Mosley, defended the reputation of the FIA president. I find it difficult to believe. It's his business but it sounds to me like a set up, he told the Daily Mail. Knowing Max it might be all a bit of a joke rather than anything against Jewish people. A FIA spokesman said Sunday that the organization had no comment: This is a matter between Mr. Mosley and the newspaper. Max Mosley is the son of Sir Oswald Mosley, the founder of the British Union of Fascists, and the society beauty Diana Mitford. The couple married in 1936 at the family home of Nazi propaganda chief Joseph Goebbels in Berlin. Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler was among the guests. Max Mosley was educated partly at an elite boarding school in Germany and later studied at Oxford University. He is a multi-millionaire, having inherited a fortune from his father who died in 1980, and has been married to his wife Jean since 1960. He has been president of FIA since 1993. dgs/ap/reuters URL: http://www.spiegel.de/international/zeitgeist/0,1518,544388,00.html © SPIEGEL ONLINE 2008 All Rights Reserved Reproduction only allowed with the permission of SPIEGELnet GmbH -- Alamaine, IVe Grand Forks, ND, US of A ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ All are lunatics, but he who can analyze his delusion is called a philosopher. - Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914) Being ignorant is not such a shame as being unwilling to learn. - Poor Richard's Almanack, 1758 (Benjamin Franklin) ~~~ In accordance with Title 17 U.S.C.
