The Shocking Truth – Nuclear War With Iran The Talk in Cathedral Square, Christchurch
...People with impeccable credentials have written that the so-called terrorist attack on New York and the Pentagon on Sept 9, 2001 was an inside job. Also, that the so-called al-Qaeda terrorists were really pawns in a much bigger conspiracy, organised by the Bush Administration to create a new enemy and justify their global crusade and wars against terrorism.

  Will Americans Wake Up In Time?
Comment by Larry Ross
January 2, 2007

.... Parry's article below reports that the Bush regime is planning to go ahead with its expansion of the Iraq  war, and by nuclear bombing Iran. This parallels many other articles on this site which say the same thing. All predict very, very serious consequences in many areas.
Parry also predicts there will be "some provocation that can be blamed on Syria and Iran , thus justifying the expanded war."
My own prediction is that the "provocation" referred to by Parry, will be a vitally important False Flag operation. It would be very carefully planned by the Bush Administration to stage some kind of an attack, perhaps a terrorist attack on the US, like 9/11, for which the Bush Regime has planned to blame Iran. ...

  Bush Could Usher in a Very Dangerous New Year
December 26, 2006

Intelligence sources say President Bush -- along with Israel's Ehud Olmert and the UK's Tony Blair -- are weighing the possibility of Israeli-led attacks on Syria and Iran in early 2007, with the United States providing logistical back-up.

   
   
  Executing Saddam Hussein
Comment by Larry Ross
January 1, 2007

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.

Saddam to the gallows. It was an easy equation. Who could be more deserving of that last walk to the scaffold - that crack of the neck at the end of a rope - than the Beast of Baghdad, the Hitler of the Tigris, the man who murdered untold hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqis while spraying chemical weapons over his enemies?

   
   
  Propaganda More  Effective than Truth in US
Comment by Larry Ross
December 31, 2006

Paul Craig Roberts describes how  pro-war war propaganda has triumphed over truth and rationality the US.
Lies have become the new 'truths' of the Bush regime.
However there is still some some hope that American society will prevail over fascism. The majority of Americans voted against the Republicans in the Nov/06 elections. Also, the polls show declining popularity for Bush and his war policies.
Unfortunately the US public is poorly served with a Bush-dominated mass media. They may be fooled again with some dramatic new lies about Iran hat are intended to gain public support for a war on Iran.

  The Disrespect for Truth has Brought a New Dark Age
by Paul Craig Roberts
December 29, 2006

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.
They makes the point that if a 20th century mystery writer can detect the truth about a 15th century murder, historians have no excuse to persist in writing in school textbooks that Richard murdered his nephews. British historians remained loyal to the Tudor propaganda long after the Tudors were no longer around to be feared or served.

   
   
  WILL BUSH START A WAR WITH IRAN?
Comment by Larry Ross
December 28, 2006

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.
The present Bush regime has committed multiple war crimes and violations of the US Constitution. Now, with their backs against the wall, with the "Impeach Bush" movement growing, and with Bush's popularity dropping below 30%, the Bush regime may decide their only way out is to resort to even greater crimes---such as escalating the Iraq War and making a preemptive strike with mini-nukes on Iran.

  Crime Of The Century: Are Bush And Cheney Planning An Early Attack On Iran?
by Dave Lindorff
December 24, 2006

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.
There was, thankfully, no attack on Iran before Election Day, but it is starting to look like I may have been right about the plan after all, but wrong about the timing.

   
   
  Bush's New Lies
Comment by Larry Ross
December 27, 2006

Here are a few of Bush's new lies in Newsweek, a mainstream US weekly.
However the real continuing lies were not mentioned. Is this because Newsweek likes to pretend these old lies don't count, because so many people still believe them? Or are they too big and sensitive to mention..

  Lies and Obfuscations
by Eleanor Clift
December 26, 2006

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.

   
   
  US Exposes Plans to Militarise Space
Comment by Larry Ross
December 26, 2006

By being the only country to vote "no" at the UN to a resolution to ban weapons in space, the US formally exposes its plans to militarise space. It does not want any legal encumbrances such as the following no weapons in space resolutions.

Correction on UN Space Vote Report
December 26, 2006

Dear Friends,
There was an error in the report I sent out from the UN about the vote on the two space resolutions.  Cote D'Ivoire and Israel abstained on the Paros resolution to Prevent an Arms Race in Outer Space, while the US was the only country to vote 'No' on A/C.1/61/L.10/Rev 1. .  166 countries voted to prevent an arms race in outer space.  In the second resolution, A/C.1/61/L36, on Transparency and Confidence building Measures in Outer Space, there was only 1 vote against it from the US and one abstention from Israel .  167 nations vote for it.  I've corrected the report below.  Alice    Full Report

   
   
  Salvador Option Designed to Save US
Comment by Larry Ross
December 25, 2006

There was no civil war in Iraq before.  But by using what is known as "The Salvador Option" (described below by James Brook) the US rapidly turned their illegal war on Iraq  into the civil war it is today.
The technique, used many times by the US before, particularly in South America , involves employing death squads to masquerade as the militia of the dominant faction, or as police under the direction of that faction, and murder assigned targets on the victim side.

  Talking surge
by James Brooks
December 20, 2006

‘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.’

Comment by Larry Ross
December 22, 2006

  Military Escalation: Bush Can't Kick the Habit
by Robert Scheer
December 21, 2006

The Bush Administration is hooked on the drug of military might, with Gates calling for sending more troops to a war we can't win. Here we go again: A new secretary of defense and yet another call for ending the war in Iraq by escalating it. What are they smoking in the Bush White House?

   
   
  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.

  Bush, Asleep In The Bunker
by David Corn
December 20, 2006

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?

  The $2 Trillion Dollar War
by Charles M. Young
December 20, 2006

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.
They do not admit and US mass media did not report, that the US made and supported Sadam's dictatorship from its very beginning. They armed him, encouraged his war with Iran and his crimes against his own people.

For some journalists, it's not old news that the United States and England cooked the case for war in Iraq . The Independent of England has an important story out on this front. 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
Comment by Larry Ross
December 20, 2006

Even before he was elected in 2000, Bush and his neocons were planning wars of aggression based on lies.
However, as Bush and his collaborators are the most powerful regime in the world, it's unlikely he will ever be prosecuted by the World Court, or impeached for crimes against the US Constitution by a US court. Bush has openly sneered at international law and discarded or ignored all international treaties that interfere with his illegal wars and nuclear armaments objectives.

  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.

  Scholars For 9/11 Truth
Comment by Larry Ross
December 16, 2006

This is one of the best sites for the scientific investigation of the 9/11 attacks on World Trade Centre and the Pentagon. It separates truth from fiction and documents what is probably the largest conspiracy in human history, and one which has the most serious consequences for humanity.
Because it is so horrific and from many perspectives seems improbable, impossible and even ridiculous, people tend to dismiss 9/11 alternative explanations without serious consideration of any of the evidence or questions raised. See also: 9/11 U.S. Attack Evidence

December 14, 2006

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.
...Remember, with pre-emptive nuclear war millions can be killed in hours. The world, if it continues, will be irreparably damaged for all the time that remains.

In the fight against cruelty, barbarism and extremism, America has embraced the very evils it claims to confront.
After thousands of years of practice, you might have imagined that every possible means of inflicting pain had already been devised. But you should never underestimate the human capacity for invention. United States interrogators, we now discover, have found a new way of destroying a human being.

   
   
  Hitler's Lesson Ignored Again?
Comment by Larry Ross
December 14, 2006

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.

Chris Floyd has written one of the great papers of our age. In a few pages he expresses the steps in the decline of US Constitutional Law; the US rise of fascist-type legislation; and why we should not expect much improvement from the new 'democratically-controlled' Senate and Congress.

by John Pilger
January 29, 2003

William Russell, the great correspondent who reported the carnage of imperial wars, may have first used the expression "blood on his hands" to describe impeccable politicians who, at a safe distance, order the mass killing of ordinary people.
In my experience "on his hands" applies especially to those modern political leaders who have had no personal experience of war, like George W Bush, who managed not to serve in Vietnam, and the effete Tony Blair.

   
   
 

US-Iran Talks, Propaganda

Comment by Larry Ross
December 11, 2006

...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.

December 11, 2006

There are many unanswered questions in the following article. such as:
1)   What were new workers told about the dangers of their workplace?
2)   What % of workers were effected by nuclear-related diseases?
3)   What is the mortality rate among workers suffering from nuclear work diseases?
4)   What occupations at the nuclear plants were most dangerous, and were workers warned about these occupations and given any protective measures.
The Bush Administration is adopting the same denial tactics toward nuclear workers it is using towards soldiers complaining of diseases caused by DU poisoning.

by Peter Eisler, USA TODAY
December 5, 2006

WASHINGTON — The Bush administration repeatedly sought ways to limit payouts to nuclear weapons workers sickened by radiation and toxic material, according to a memo written by congressional investigators and obtained by USA TODAY.
The investigation focuses on a federal program created in 2000 to compensate people with cancers and other illnesses tied to their work at government and contractor-owned facilities involved in Cold War nuclear weapons production. About 98,000 cases have been filed under the program, and the Labor Department has approved compensation in about 24,000 of those cases. However, program records show that not all of those approved claims have been paid. full story

   
   
  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.

  US using media in psychological war against Iran
Comment by Larry Ross
December 7 , 2006

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.

  White House Nominee to Head the CIA has Dubious Links to the Terror Network
by Michel Chossudovsky
July 5, 2004

Two weeks before 9/11, Porter Goss, the White House nominee for the CIA Director of Intelligence was being "briefed on the growing threat of al Qaeda" (WP, 5/04/03) by a Pakistani General who "ran a spy agency notoriously close to Osama bin Laden and the Taliban. "
Following George Tenet's resignation as Director of Central Intelligence at the CIA, the Bush administration immediately pointed to Rep. Porter Goss, as its handpicked nominee.
Porter Goss, a Florida Republican and former CIA operative, is chairman of the House Intelligence Committee. He also chaired, together with Senator Bob Graham, the Joint Senate House Committee, on the September 11 attacks.

   
   
  Exclusive  Brethren
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.

So what is the problem with the Exclusive Brethren campaigning ...

   
   
  No Proof of Iran Nuclear Weapons
Comment by Larry Ross
November 24, 2006

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 following article says the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) reports a similar finding.
Yet the Bush Administration and Israel claim Iran is a nuclear threat and must be stopped. They constantly threaten to bomb Iran's nuclear facilities even threatening to use nuclear weapons against Iran to stop Iran from making nuclear weapons.

  U.S. Domination of Space
Comment by Larry Ross
November 23, 2006

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.

  At the UN today...
from Alice Slater
October 27, 2006

Sadly, the US statement today was consistent with its flagrant assertion in its new space policy doctrine that it “will oppose the development of new legal regimes or other restrictions that seek to prohibit or limit U.S. access to or use of space.”
What hypocrisy and deception!

   
   
  Permanent U.S. Bases Mean Permanent Occupation
Comment by Larry Ross
November 23, 2006

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.
On the other hand the predictions could be wrong if the Bush Administration implements its plan to make war on Iran, and escalates that into a nuclear war on Iran, leading to a general war on Islamic countries.
The possible use of a 'False Flag' operation by the Bush Administration, to incriminate Iran and justify using nuclear weapons, must also be considered.

 

Will Papa Bush's Old Pals Prolong the Iraq Occupation?

  Waging Nuclear Genocide
Comment by Larry Ross
November 23, 2006

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?

March 25, 2004

....This will not be easy to read, especially if you've projected evil out of your own heart, into some cave in Afghanistan or a spider hole in Iraq, and reduced the age-old question it inspires to this one: How can we bomb it off the face of the earth?
Before the damage we inflict grows greater, before history's judgment gets worse, before we contaminate the whole world - even before we vote in the next election - we must stop what we're doing. We must stop now.

   
   
  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.

  'The Next Act'   
By SEYMOUR M. HERSH
November 20, 2006

Too lazy to go over and read Sy Hersh's latest bombshell on the machinations for war with Iran at The New Yorker? Here are the juicy bits.
First off, Hersh confirms what  Ray McGovern warned of two weeks ago: don't start celebrating yet over Donald Rumsfeld's replacement, Bob Gates:
Other sources close to the Bush family said that the machinations behind Rumsfeld's resignation and the Gates nomination were complex, and the seeming triumph of the Old Guard may be illusory...
.....The bit that is making the headlines is what comes next. Hersh says that the CIA doesn't even think Iran has a secret nuclear weapons program, but that Cheney and his team don't care:

   
   
  Assassination or Suicide?
Comment by Larry Ross
November 15, 2006

There is much data on Kelly's death that suggests  he died due to foul play, rather than suicide. As the BBC repeats government lies about Iraq, and reflects it's false assumptions and views, I hope their investigative programme is not a whitewash.

  BBC reopens Kelly case with new film
By Maurice Chittenden

THE BBC is risking a new confrontation with Downing Street by launching an investigation into the death of David Kelly, the scientist at the centre of the storm over the “sexed up” dossier on Iraq's supposed weapons of mass destruction.

   
   
  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.

  'Torture Taxis' Make Regular Stops in Las Vegas
November 10, 2006

Is torture an acceptable tactic to use in the war against terror?
The Bush Administration recently acknowledged that some forms of coercion are being used by American agents against suspected terrorists. But human rights advocates say the U.S. is actively supporting the use of more extreme techniques. And the people who are involved are making regular visits to Las Vegas.

   
   
  Preparations For War On Iran
Comment by Larry Ross
November 12, 2006

....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.

    Unleashing Armageddon in the Middle East
By Dr. Elias Akleh
November 11, 2006

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. The base of this “Grand Plan” is the invasion of energy rich countries to directly control their resources, and to create subservient governments that would exploit their own people as cheap labor to harvest energy for the United States.
The collapse of the Soviet Union had created a window of opportunity for the United States to ensure and to affirm its global superiority through expansion and controlling energy resources without any real opposition. The attacks of 911 were necessary requirements for the Bush administration to wage a “global war against terror” that would serve as a cover up for American hegemony. President Bush borrowed Mussolini's fascist motto of “If you are not with me, you are against me” and turned it into “You are either with us or with the terrorist” to terrorize weaker nations into accepting American expansions.

   
   
Haditha - A Symbol of Genocide
Comment by Larry Ross
November 7, 2006

The American people have been deceived and shanghaied into becoming tools of a criminal conspiracy...
What has happened to our U.S.A. that was a beacon of hope to the world's impoverished, oppressed masses? It could have led in solving the world's real problems and led humanity toward a secure, prosperous, and just world.
Instead it took another road - the road of evil and the blackest fascism and mass murder. The conspiracy has even increased its genocidal preparations with new nuclear doctrines that 'legally' allow it to wage pre-emptive nuclear slaughter of people, not by the thousand as in Iraq , but now by the million in Iran and elsewhere. The compliant mass propaganda media made sure this information, its implications, and criticism of it, was not given to the people.

Say No to U.S. War Crimes!
November 7, 2006

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.

   
   
  U.S. Sets Up Legal Contortions To Justify Nuclear Attack
Comment by Larry Ross
November 5, 2006

The U.S. has gone to considerable lengths to set up a situation in the UN where it can claim UN approval to legally use nuclear weapons against Iran.
Professor Hirsch shows how this was done. Although it may not have been the intention of any state other than Israel to give such approval for any such action, the U.S. has an objective and a plan - and that plan includes making war on Iran . All kinds of dupliciity, chicanery and pressure has been used to achieve this end, so that they can actually argue that the UN resolution and sanctions against Iran gave them approval to use force against Iran - even nuclear weapons.

 

A Legal US Nuclear Attack Against Iran The real reason for the IAEA Iran resolution

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.

   
   
  Creeping Fascism Is silence our answer to genocide?
Comment by Larry Ross
November 5, 2006

. . . 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.
If events unfold as now indicated, it will be a triumph of dedicated and diabolical evil, employing all the instruments of ultimate force and deception, backed by millions of duped and fearful Americans and the huge wealth and government apparatus of the state.

 

OLBERMANN PROPERLY NAMES BUSH AS AMERICA'S GREATEST THREAT


October 19, 2006

Mr Bush, your words are lies that imperil us all ~ Sadly, of course , the distance of history will recognize that the threat this generation of Americans needed to take seriously was you: Keith Olbermann
. . . This President now has his blank check.
He lied to get it.
He lied as he received it.
Is there any reason to even hope, he has not lied about how he intends to use it, nor who he intends to use it against?

   
   
  Nuclear Doctrines Threaten Humanity
Comment by Larry Ross
November 1, 2006

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.
Today they literally, have learned to 'love the bomb' and have radically changed past perceptions so that nuclear weapons have become just one of a number of military options military commanders may use in various battle situations. They allow the U.S. to suddenly launch a preemptive nuclear strike against a chosen enemy. The enemy may be non-nuclear or nuclear. Also, they claim the right to introduce nuclear weapons use into conventional military conflicts.

 

Is the Bush Administration Planning a Nuclear Holocaust?

by Michel Chossudovsky
February 22, 2006

Will the US launch "Mini-nukes" against Iran in Retaliation for Tehran's "Non-compliance"?
At no point since the first atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima on August 6th, 1945, has humanity been closer to the unthinkable, a nuclear holocaust which could potentially spread, in terms of radioactive fallout,  over a large part of the Middle East.
All the safeguards of the Cold War era, which categorized the nuclear bomb as "a weapon of last resort" have been scrapped. "Offensive" military actions using nuclear warheads are now
