Every tactic the US has taken in Iraq since their 2003 invasion seems to have been designed to provoke more hatred of the US and more, not less, terrorism. The US public are conditioned to believe that there is no such thing as legitimate armed resistance to their illegal invasion and occupation of Iraq . The US government and mass media promote the fantasy that any opposition to US rule must be called "terrorist". The US mass media is more than happy to oblige the Bush regime, by using US psy-war designed words and definitions of the Iraq situation as part of their campaign to justify and white-wash every new US atrocity against a sovereign state and its people. |

In her historical mystery, “The Daughter of Time,” Josephine Tey (a pen name of Elizabeth MacKintosh), has Scotland Yard Inspector Alan Grant, while confined to his hospital bed, solve the 15th century murder of the two York princes in the Tower of London. The princes were murdered by Henry VII, and the crime was blamed on Richard III in order to justify the upstart Tudor's violent seizure of the English throne. |

A number of articles are posted on our website predicting a US war with Iran . And a Google search on this subject showed 104 million articles. Searching "US Nuclear War With Iran" showed 24.7 million articles. Therefore, a lot of very thoughtful people are deeply concerned, and writing about, this subject. And there are many indications that this nightmare will begin soon, just as there were before the illegal US bombing, invasion and occupation of Iraq began in 2003. |

Back on October 9, I wrote in The Nation that it looked like the Bush-Cheney gang, worried about the November election, was gearing up for an unprovoked attack on Iran's nuclear facilities, with a carrier strike group led by the USS Eisenhower being ordered to depart a month early from Norfolk, VA to join the already-on-station USS Enterprise. That article was based on reports from angry sailors based on the Eisenhower who had leaked word of their mission. |

In the spirit of holding our political leaders accountable, this year-end review will tabulate the worst lies told by Bush and company, along with several stories that were underreported in the media. Much of what was generated got lost in the fog of war, but the long arm of history will retrieve these moments. As the president said in his news conference this week, if they're still writing about No. 1 - George Washington - there's plenty of time before the historians can properly evaluate No. 43. Judging by the mess in Iraq, it could be 200 or 300 years - if ever - before Bush is vindicated. |

‘Everyone in town is talking “surge” now,’ a Pentagon adviser explained to NPR listeners the other day, and you could almost feel the country buckle up its mind for another bloody disaster ahead. One big “final” push to defeat the popular resistance of the Iraqi people. Just to see if we can do it, before we leave. It probably won’t work, but it’s worth a try.’ |

| Brilliant Analysis of War Misses Key Factor |
Comment by Larry Ross |
December 23, 2006 |
|
|
David Corn's brilliant analysis of the Iraq war and Bush's reactions are scary as he says. Bush plans to sweep aside all expert advice and escalate the war with more troops (he invented a new term for escalating the war. He calls it a 'surge' tactic). He will also likely intensify US bombing of Iraq. However Corn does not mention that Bush may also use a ‘False Flag' attack on the US and blame Iran, then use that as his justification to both escalate the Iraq war, use nuclear weapons on Iran, and introduce fascist-type legislation in the US. This possibility has been mentioned extensively in other writings on this site. |

This is scary. The president of the United States of America has created a hellish disaster that has resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians and thousands of American soldiers, and he's resting well. The vice president believes that the man responsible for three of the greatest military blunders in U.S. history (attacking Iraq without devising a strategy for securing the country after the invasion; dissolving the Iraqi army, creating armed and trained recruits for the incipient insurgency; and mounting an extensive de-Baathification campaign that destroyed the governing infrastructure of the nation) did his job well. |

| $2 Trillion War Robbery |
Comment by Larry Ross |
December 23, 2006 |

Considering the war is both preplanned and based on lies, it is a robbery on a gigantic scale. Will Bush and his collaborators get away with this $trillion gigantic fraud, and the totally unjustified mass killing of 655,000 Iraqi people and 3,000 unwitting US Servicemen who believe they are doing their duty? |

When America invaded Iraq in 2003, the Bush administration predicted that the war would turn a profit, paying for itself with increased oil revenues. So far, though, Congress has spent more than $350 billion on the conflict, including the $50 billion appropriated for 2007. |

| Left Behind Game Justifies Killing for Christ |
Comment by Larry Ross |
December 23, 2006 |
|

This video game equates killing unbelievers with Christian morality and teachings. The game implies that it is virtuous, Christian, ethical and spiritual to vaporize in a puff of smoke anyone who does not share the destructive religious delusions of far right Fundamentalist Christians. Fundamentalists claim they are reaching out in a spirit of love to the unbelievers, so that unbelievers have a chance to convert to the one true faith, rather than be 'left behind' in the great rapture of true believers to Heaven. |

| Damning Testimony of Cooked Intelligence |
Comment by Larry Ross |
December 23, 2006 |
|
|
This article by David Corn, editor of The Nation, reveals additional important testimony that Bush and Blair cooked and altered intelligence in order to justify an illegal invasion and occupation of Iraq - an independent, sovereign state. Whereas they made much of the fact that Sad Hussein was a murdering despot and needed to be deposed so that they could introduce 'freedom and democracy' in Iraq, this was just a joke. |

Here's the lead: The Government's case for going to war in Iraq has been torn apart by the publication of previously suppressed evidence that Tony Blair lied over Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction. |

| Bush Empire Built on Aggression |

Even before he was elected in 2000, Bush and his neocons were planning wars of aggression based on lies. |
|||
| War of Aggression |
|
||
|
The crime of a war of aggression is listed in Article 5.1 of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (RSICC) as one of the four most serious crimes of concern to the international community, and that it falls within the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court (ICC). It was addressed earlier by the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg following World War II , which called the waging of aggressive war "essentially an evil thing...to initiate a war of aggression...is not only an international crime; it is the supreme international crime differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole." |

| Iraq Massacre Based On Lies |
Comment by Larry Ross |
December 20, 2006 |
|

The following article shows a few of the lies upon which the Iraq war is based. Amazingly, some people still believe these lies even though they have been exposed as concocted to justify the war. Even more amazing is that this US-created massacre not only continues, but gets worse in spite of the known lies. The mass media have embraced the lies as their own. To my knowledge, they have never admitted they acted for the Bush Administration in relaying these lies to their readers. |

George Monbiot describes "total sensory deprivation" a US technique of torture that often makes prisoners like Jose Padilla lose their minds. Jose Padilla, a US citizen detained as an "enemy combatant" and suspected of planning to detonate a dirty bomb, was imprisoned for 3 years without any charge being laid against him. He was subjected to "total sensory deprivation”. Now...."his mind is no longer there" Monbiot wrote. |

I repeat this quote from Adolph Hitler because it seems so relevant to the tactics today of the Bush Administration. The reactions of people are much the same. It's as if nothing was learned since the Hitlerian techniques were successfully used on the German people. Why? They may be fooled again, particularly if Bush and co unleash a 'False Flag' op, followed up with a well-planned campaign of lies, blame, pro-war propaganda and war on the accused, for the phoney alleged "False Flag" errorist attack on the US. |

...The propaganda pitch also suggests that Bush and his neocons are using the same type of lies to build a case for attacking Iran and that they are creating a situation where they will blame Iran and Syria for not stopping the violence provoked by the US war. With the US said to be planning to use nuclear weapons against Iran , they may use any number of tactics and psywar inventions, such as a 'False Flag' operation to convince the public that this was the right thing to do. |

| Nuclear Industry Workers Radiated In USA |
Comment by Larry Ross |
December 11, 2006 |
|
|
... DU munitions - shells, bombs and bullets, are combined with depleted uranium, a by-product of the nuclear industry. As a destroyer, tank-buster and killer, these weapons are much more effective and deadly than conventional munitions. As a result the USA and its allies have used DU weapons in four wars since the first Gulf war in 1991- increasing the DU tonnage used in each war.. But they explode on impact into millions of deadly, microscopic particles that slowly rise into the upper atmosphere, then blow and drift around the planet eventually settling to earth thousands of miles from where they are first used. As they have a half life of 4.5 billion years, they go on killing forever and infecting the gene pool, adults and children of all future generations. They cause many types of cancer, organ failure, other types of lingering killer diseases and horrific genetic mutations of foetuses. |

As the following article indicates, the US invests millions of dollars and an army of psychological warfare experts to influence the public and politicians everywhere to favour US policies and believe US-invented lies. The Iraq war was a good example of a series of lie stories faithfully printed or broadcast by most mass media as true, and even supported editorially. Criticism or exposure of the lies with true stories was simply not allowed by the editors. Nowhere was this better illustrated than with some of the newspapers in New Zealand. |

| Links to 9/11 Conspiracy |
Comment by Larry Ross |
November 29, 2006 |
|

Here is another piece of the 9/11 puzzle. That Pakistan Intelligence financed the 9/11 hijackers. That the newly appointed head of the CIA Porter Goss, knew this and had close links with Pakistan intelligence. If 9/11 was a Bush Administration 'inside job', Porter Goss must have been privy to, or part, of that operation. No wonder Bush appointed him to head the CIA with overall control of a budget of 40 billion dollars for intelligence operations? For those who have studied 9/11 and concluded it must have been a Bush Administration conspiracy, the attached article by Prof. Chossudovsky makes sense and is an important part of the conspiracy. |

Comment by Larry Ross |
November 26, 2006 |

You may remember ex-CIA agent Ralph McGeehee who toured NZ for us back in the 80's. He said, and books by ex-CIA people also confirm that, the CIA often uses right-wing religious groups like EBs as a cover to channel funds to groups in countries the CIA wants to influence. In NZ we do know the US wants to get rid of NZ N-Free legislation and get NZ back on track sending NZ troops to US wars and hosting their warships. So it makes sense to suspect that perhaps the CIA has a role in supplying money and direction to NZ EBs for this purpose. |

The International Atomic Energy Authority (IAEA), which continues to inspect Iran nuclear facilities under the terms of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and makes regular reports to the UN on their findings, says there is no evidence that Iran has nuclear arms or preparations to make nuclear arms.

The military use of space is part of the U.S. plan to be able to wage war in space or anywhere in the world. This is illustrated by its votes in the UN below and the US abrogation of the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty and the new US National Space Policy statement. |

This article is particularly good because of its analysis of the Washington establishment, the probable result of the Iraq Study Group, and comments about permanent U.S. bases in Iraq, and the amazing abdication of responsibility by the Mass Media of honest coverage of the war. |

While everyone in Washington is treating Bush Senior's ally Robert Gates' Pentagon arrival and James Baker's Iraq Study Group report as godsends that will end the war in Iraq, it's quite likely that they will deploy more troops and stay there indefinitely. |

Although the following article was written 3 years ago, its message is still powerful and relevant today. Most people passively tolerate the systematic poisoning of people, their lands and the world. However DU poisoning lasts for eternity. It drifts around the planet, killing, deforming and genetically damaging everyone's children and descendants forever, whether in Washington, New York or Kabul. Psychopaths in the Pentagon deny, deny, deny and then smirk like George Bush. They are doing their professional duty. People accept that and forget. How long can the human race survive when we, so casually, resort to such widespread killing and torture? |

| Attack on Iranian nuclear facilities? |
Comment by Larry Ross |
November 21, 2006 |
|

The article also claims Iran wants the U.S. to make a limited attack on Iranian nuclear facilities, as this would allegedly boost Iranian prestige in the Middle East. I don't agree with this hypothesis or that the U.S. attack would be, or remain, limited. I think the U.S. wants regime change and will make a massive attack on Iran, it's population and infrastructure - much like what it has done in Iraq, only worse. I think it's real objective is a much wider war, against the Islamic world in general. Ultimately it's objective is to dominate the Middle East, particularly oil. Like the views expressed in many other articles, I think the Bush Administration plans to use nuclear weapons on Iran, and that the conflict will escalate into a terminal global disaster. |

| Torture Becoming A Part of the American Way |
Comment by Larry Ross |
November 15, 2006 |
|

A few weeks ago Congress passed laws which legalised the U.S. use of torture on so-called terrorism suspects At first there was some debate and resistance to Bush's torture bill. But the Senate and Congress quickly caved in and gave Bush what he wanted. Now torture is legal. For the time being it is mainly kept secret and done by U.S.-sponsored dictatorships, or client regimes in other countries. Main stream U.S. media carefully avoid the subject so a lot of Americans don't know how much about it. The following article shows how torture is becoming incorporated into American life. It is a reflection of the psychopathology of George Bush. As long as Bush remains in office, we can expect a growth in this foul and degrading practice. |

....The U.S. Democrats who have just won in Congress and the Senate are unlikely to stop this war as they are deeply involved in approving the Iraq war, and either repeating or not questioning Bush lies to justify it. They are doing the same thing about the new U.S. enemy - Iran . They have also approved Bush's new nuclear doctrines, his patriot laws, his preparations for the Iran war and given him virtually unlimited power. The Democrats have proved themselves to be a weak, lily-livered and wishy-washy opposition party unwilling and unable to speak the truth about the Bush Administration and the illegal wars. There are a few exceptional and honest Democratic politicians who oppose U.S. war policies, but not enough to make much difference. |

In mid 1970s the American Power Elite drew a “Grand Plan” to control and to monopolize global oil and nuclear energy resources, for he who controls energy resources determines the fate of nations.

My Lai , Vietnam , 1968. Haditha , Iraq , 2005. Rumsfeld, Cheney and Bush hate it when anyone mentions these two events — these two war crimes — in the same breath. All the more reason to examine them closely, to see that they have the same basis that they spell out the same lesson. |

A Legal US Nuclear Attack Against Iran |
by Jorge Hirsch |
November 12, 2005 |
|
On September 24 of this year, the United States finally achieved a goal it had persistently pursued over several years. Iran was declared by the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) to be in "non compliance" with its obligations under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). The resolution passed by the IAEA is remarkably weak. It does not set a date for Iran to be referred to the UN Security Council, and it does not even mention the possibility of sanctions. It even notes that Iran has made "good progress" in correcting its "breaches," all of which date back to before October 2003. The LA Times characterized it as a " gentle slap ." It is instead an enormous thud. |

. . . Dissent and criticism of Bush will become non-existent, both because the media will suppress it and because people will be unwilling to express criticism and risk imprisonment, torture and jail. |

| Nuclear Doctrines Threaten Humanity |
Comment by Larry Ross |

This is one of the most important papers we have ever re-printed, by a world authority on U.S. nuclear war policies, and U.S. plans to wage nuclear war on Iran . Michel Chossudovsky details the various nuclear war doctrines that are an integral part of Pentagon military options. No longer do the U.S. military consider nuclear weapons 'a weapon of last resort', likely to lead to escalation and an end to humanity. |
