Another Day in the Empire » Osama: Back from the Dead

Another Day in the Empire » Osama: Back from the Dead: "As we know, the real Osama, who died and his obit was published in the Egyptian newspaper al-Wafd, on December 26, 2001, claimed no responsibility for the nine eleven attacks. “I have already said that I am not involved in the 11 September attacks in the United States,” Bin Laden told Ummat Karachi, on 28th September 2001, in a report ignored by the corporate media, for obvious reasons: “I had no knowledge of these attacks, nor do I consider the killing of innocent women, children and other humans as an appreciable act…. The United States should try to trace the perpetrators of these attacks within itself…. They needed an enemy.”"

Miers gave Bush 6Aug01 PDB

TOTAL INFORMATION ANALYSIS: "USA Today and the Boston Globe carried the photo labeled simply '2001,' but many other newspapers ran the picture in print or on the Web with a more precise date: Aug. 6, 2001.

Does that date sound familiar? Indeed, that was the date, a little over a month before 9/11, that President Bush was briefed on the now-famous 'PDB' that declared that Osama Bin Laden was 'determined' to attack the U.S. homeland, perhaps with hijacked planes. But does that mean that Miers had anything to do with that briefing?

BBC NEWS | Politics | Lords condemn anti-terror plans

BBC NEWS | Politics | Lords condemn anti-terror plans: "Government-proposed measures to combat terrorism have been branded 'unlawful' and 'intolerable' by senior experts.

Plans to detain suspects for up to three months and a glorifying terrorism offence were criticised by Law Lord, Lord Lloyd of Berwick and Lord Steyn.

In an interview for the BBC's Panorama, Lord Steyn, a former Law Lord, warned people's liberty was being endangered."

Business groups: Change Patriot Act

Salt Lake Tribune - Business: "WASHINGTON - Some of the nation's most powerful business groups are splitting with the Bush administration over whether to restrict the anti-terror USA Patriot Act.
The business groups complained to Congress on Wednesday that the Patriot Act makes it too easy for the government to get confidential business records. That put them at odds with one of President Bush's top priorities - the unfettered extension of the law passed after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.
In the first organized criticism of the act from the business sector, these groups endorsed amendments that would require investigators to say how the information they seek is linked to individual suspected terrorists or spies, and would allow businesses to challenge the requests in courts and to speak publicly about those requests. "

Wheels Coming Off White House As Bush-Cheney Indictments Pending

Articles, government corruption, freedom of speech, truth: "Now ABC news agents, who usually follow the neo-con party line, reported last Sunday through George Stephanopolis, “reliable sources” reveal indictments against Bush and Cheney are pending.



But even with Bush and Cheney gone, the cancer in our government remains since the entire executive, judicial and legislative branches needs to ‘picked clean’ so that fair-minded men can again take back the country.



However, it can’t be denied that Bush and Cheney are a good start and if the cat’s really finally out of the bag, let’s hope they are good “mousers,” efficient at getting all the rats out of Washington, including the Clinton’s, McCain and Kerry."

H.E.R.B. - Had Enough Religious Bullshit !

H.E.R.B. - Had Enough Religious Bullshit !: "I hope I live to see the day when, as in the early days of our country,
we won't have any public schools. The churches will have taken them over again
and Christians will be running them. What a happy day that will be!
-- Rev. Jerry Falwell


Secular schools can never be tolerated because such a school has no
religious instruction and a general moral instruction without a religious foundation
is built on air; consequently, all character training and religion must be derived
from faith.... We need believing people.
-- Adolf Hitler, April 26, 1933"

MediaGuardian.co.uk | Media | BBC shies away from Bush story

MediaGuardian.co.uk | Media | BBC shies away from Bush story: "However, after it appeared in most of the national newspapers, BBC Breakfast featured an item, while Radio 1, 5 Live, News 24 and BBC online also ran it.

But the BBC News website's coverage was distinctly lukewarm - running the story under the headline 'White House denies Bush God claim', rather than the press release's headline of 'God told me to invade Iraq, Bush tells Palestinian ministers'.

One BBC source said: 'The denial by the White House put some programme editors off. It probably played a big part in some of their decisions not to run the story.'

The lukewarm response by other BBC outlets to a BBC News exclusive in the wake of a denial by the US government is likely to dismay the new head of television news, Peter Horrocks.

Just a few days ago he urged staff not to be afraid of being first with stories, as long as they were factually accurate.

It is perhaps inevitable that suspicions may be raised about any cautious reception to BBC stories that do not present Mr Bush in the best light following Rupert Murdoch's comments that Tony Blair had told him BBC World's coverage of Hurricane Katrina was 'just full of hate for America and gloating about our troubles'."



Tony Blair is even Rupert Murdoch's bitch!

BBC NEWS | Americas | White House denies Bush God claim

BBC NEWS | Americas | White House denies Bush God claim: "'President Bush said to all of us: 'I'm driven with a mission from God. God would tell me, George, go and fight those terrorists in Afghanistan. And I did, and then God would tell me, George, go and end the tyranny in Iraq... And I did.

''And now, again, I feel God's words coming to me, Go get the Palestinians their state and get the Israelis their security, and get peace in the Middle East. And by God I'm gonna do it.''

Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas, who attended the meeting in June 2003 too, also appears on the documentary series to recount how Mr Bush told him: 'I have a moral and religious obligation. So I will get you a Palestinian state.'"

Watch the video, where the producer of the series mentions that , the only people to mention motivation from "god" are the suicide bombers and Bush.

Imagine my shock.

Behind the Iraq Dossier Hoax: Intelligence Was Cooked in Israel

Behind the Iraq Dossier Hoax: Intelligence Was Cooked in Israel: "But a deeper probe into the scandal reveals that there was good reason that the spin-meisters at the Coalition Information Center—the Washington-London civilian government propaganda unit that crafted both the Blair dossier and major portions of Secretary Powell's own lighter-than-air book of evidence—did not reveal the sources of their information. The entire cooked intelligence picture was 'Made in Israel.' It was cooked up at a right-wing think-tank complex notorious as a hotbed of radical Likudnik propaganda, and with links to the Office of Vice President Dick Cheney, via his Chief of Staff Lewis Libby and his former client, Marc Rich."

U.S. Newswire : Releases : "Nobel Peace Prize A Rebuke for Bush, Says Peace Action"

U.S. Newswire : Releases : "Nobel Peace Prize A Rebuke for Bush, Says Peace Action": "'While ElBaradei called them as he saw them -- supported by the facts on the ground -- regarding WMD in Iraq during the run up to the U.S. invasion, the Bush administration fixed facts to support their foregone conclusions and unilateralist ambitions. The bravery of ElBaradei in maintaining impartiality and professionalism in his mission to stem nuclear proliferation stands in stark contrast to the Bush administration's bending of intelligence to support their invasion plans,' concluded Martin."

ElBaradei, IAEA get Nobel prize

These are the people the Bush crime family tried to get fired for not rubber stamping their criminal conspiracy known as the "War on Terror".

Text of Gore Speech at Media Conference

BREITBART.COM - Just The News: "The final point I want to make is this: We must ensure that the Internet remains open and accessible to all citizens without any limitation on the ability of individuals to choose the content they wish regardless of the Internet service provider they use to connect to the Worldwide Web. We cannot take this future for granted. We must be prepared to fight for it because some of the same forces of corporate consolidation and control that have distorted the television marketplace have an interest in controlling the Internet marketplace as well. Far too much is at stake to ever allow that to happen.

We must ensure by all means possible that this medium of democracy's future develops in the mold of the open and free marketplace of ideas that our Founders knew was essential to the health and survival of freedom."

The USA has a long history of human experimentation from the beginning of the 20th century.

The USA has a long history of human experimentation from the beginning of the 20th century.: "'The United States has a long history of experimentation,
on unwitting human subjects, which goes back to the
beginning of this century. Both private firms and the military
have used unknowing human populations to test various
theories. However, the extent to which human experimentation
has been a part of the U.S. Biological Weapons programs will
probably never be known. The following examples are taken
from information declassified in 1977, and from other private
source accounts. Several involve incidents which are still
of unknown origins and which cannot be fully explained.'"

Another Day in the Empire » Clueless Americans on Democracy

Another Day in the Empire » Clueless Americans on Democracy: "Bush and crew have no intention of “installing democracy” in Iraq and it is amazing large numbers of Americans believe this, especially after scads of evidence to the contrary.

As a cursory examination of history reveals, the United States government and military have never been in the business of “installing democracy” and in fact have consistently strived for the exact opposite.

Since the end of World War 2, the United States has used military intervention in over 70 nations—and not for the sake of freedom and democracy (see William Blum’s A Brief History of U.S. Interventions:1945 to the Present)."

Bush Is Cooking Up Two More Wars by Paul Craig Roberts

Bush Is Cooking Up Two More Wars by Paul Craig Roberts: "By bullying the 35 members of the IAEA, the Bush administration last week managed to get 22 votes that could lead to the referral of Iran to the UN Security Council. The Bush administration will now lobby for the referral. Once it has the referral, even if the Security Council does not act on it, the Bush administration can use it as an excuse to attack Iran. The Bush administration knows that few Americans have any knowledge of international law and procedures and will simply believe whatever President Bush says. The highly concentrated US media is a proven walkover for the war-mongering Bush administration."

Christianity and the Demise of America

Christianity and the Demise of America: "During the journey from childhood to manhood, I have often contemplated the role of Christianity in the path that America was taking. Let me state clearly that in my humble opinion organized religion has nothing to do with real Christianity—I mean the actual teachings of Christ. Through a spectacular failure of courage and a will to be accepted into the mainstream of corporate America, the example of Jesus Christ has been trivialized and blasphemed by its chief practioneers. The church has allowed itself to become so prostituted that it bears little resemblance to the radical teachings of Christ of Nazareth. It has allowed itself not only to be marginalized by corporate America—it has become an apologist, an enabler, for the corporate state and all it represents."
