  Bioweapons - A Little-Known But  Massive Threat
Comment by Larry Ross
December 26, 2006

Francis Boyle, a law Professor at U of Illinois, is the legal architect of the The Biological Weapons Convention and the Biological Weapons Anti-Terrorism Act of 1989. He has written a vitally important book: Biowarfare and Terrorism by Francis A. Boyle, Clarity Press, Atlanta, Georgia, USAT It is available through: amazon.co.uk or amazon.com for US$12.95. The biological weapons threat to humanity, is as great as the growing nuclear threat as Professor Boyles book shows. Here is a review of that book.

  The Silence is Poisonous!   Bioweapons - The US government's Nuremburg Crime
by William Bowles
March 1, 2006

A criminal biological weapons programme that is a threat to the entire planet!
Review: 'Biowarfare and Terrorism' by Francis A Boyle
  Before I even begin to review this 'weapon of critical information', I urge you not only to buy it but when you've finished reading it (it's real short, so it shouldn't overly tax our attention-deficit culture), post it to your MP, Congressman, Senator, the UN, your vicar/priest/imam/holy man/rabbi; give it to your neighbour, teacher, workmate, brother, sister, mum and dad. In short, shout it out from the rooftops; that the US government is an international criminal of staggering proportions and the entire Bush administration should be indicted as war criminals and every last one locked up and the key thrown away.

   
   
  New Nuclear Arms Race
Comment by Larry Ross
December 26, 2006

This is very valuable paper because it shows how influential people and countries are using the terrorist threat to advance their ambitions to make nuclear weapons.
Also, it gives an insight into the origins of American neoconservatism and its American author Leo Strauss, whose mentor was Carl Schmitt, an infamous Nazi law professor under Hitler. Leo Strauss teachings reflected those of his Nazi mentor, and his US students are now highly placed and very influential in formulating American policies under President Bush.

  Germany debating nuclear weapons
by Francis Boyle
January 28, 2006

Remember the Nazis had their law professors too. Carl Schmitt was the most  notorious Nazi Law Professor. He was mentor to and sponsor for Leo Strauss,  who founded the Neo-Conservative Movement in the United States. These Neo-Cons are Neo-Nazis. We have many of these Neo-Con Neo-Nazi Law Professors in the United States, almost all of them affiliated with the right-wing, racist, bigoted, reactionary, sexist, warmongering and totalitarian Federalist Society. Scholz should join the Federalist Society.
He would fit right in. ...
A former top German official said yesterday that his country should
consider building a nuclear arsenal in response to the threat of nuclear terrorism, Deutsche Presse-Agentur reported today.

   
   
  Legal Aspects of Nuclear Weapons Use
Comment by Larry Ross
December 26, 2006

Professor Boyle is particularly well qualified to present the legal case against nuclear weapons and their potential usage. His qualifications also apply to bioweapons, and his book on this subject is reviewed on this site. His arguments and the list of his qualifications a great asset to anyone considering the illegality of nuclear and biological weapons and related issues.

  Analysis of Preparations for War On Iran
Comment by Larry Ross
December 3, 2006

"False Flag Operation?" Dr Carmichael quotes Ray McGovern (below) as predicting the US will use a covert terrorist act on the US (otherwise known as 'False Flag' operation) and blame Iran, in order to condition the US population to sanction any response George Bush chooses against Iran. There are many articles and references on the nuclear free site to 'False Flag' operations.

Neocon Foreign Policy Architect Richard Perle reveals US War Plans in the Iranian Theater
One US carrier task force is already in position in the Persian Gulf. Two more task forces are moving swiftly to take up their positions in the Iranian theatre....
While Perle stated his hope that the need for military interventions would be minimal, he left the impression that his definition of excessive use of military power might well differ from that of the average American or European citizen. Perle is on the public record advocating pre-emptive strikes against North Korea, Syria, Iran and a list of other countries. Some of his critics accuse Perle of darkly malignant machinations. (Richard N.

  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.

  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?

  SILENT GENOCIDE
By Robert C. Koehler
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.

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:

   
   
  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.

   
   
  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 described as acts of "self-defense".

   
   
U.S. Nuclear Weapons On Iran?
Comment by Larry Ross
October 31, 2006

Although the following article is 6 months old, I felt it should be posted on our web site because it is so thorough and well-researched.
This any many other articles show there is little doubt that key Bush Administration people want to hit Iran, and reject any objections to using nuclear weapons against Iran.
Any attack on Iran would be so much against U.S. present and future interests, the Administration would have to construct an utterly false but very convincing case for such an action. They did just that for their war on Iraq and the Democrats bought it, in spite of its glaring lies. Iraq may be a quagmire, but the ruse succeeded. Their success with the Iraq deception is likely to embolden them to enact a much larger crime against Iran.
White house decisions are made by extremists with fanatical belief systems that allow them to discount national U.S. considerations. Also, one has to calculate what kind of person calculates the killing of thousands of other human beings and risks far wider war, even nuclear war, for no real reason - other than some kind of fanatical beliefs that defy reason?

Mind Games Over Iran

by Jim Lobe
April 11, 2006

Three years after the fall of Baghdad to U.S. forces, Washington is abuzz about new reports that the administration of President George W. Bush is preparing to attack Iran, possibly with nuclear weapons.
In just the past few days, lengthy articles detailing planning for aerial attacks on as many as 400 nuclear and military targets have appeared in The Washington Post , the London Sunday Times , The Forward (the main weekly of the U.S. Jewish community) and The New Yorker.
The New Yorker account, written by legendary investigative reporter Seymour Hersh, who two years ago was the first to disclose U.S. abuses of detainees at Abu Ghraib prison, was the most spectacular, although it relied heavily on unnamed sources outside the administration.

It is likely Bush regime lunatics will soon start what may expand to be Humanity's final war - a war on Iran . They will likely stage a "False Flag" attack on the U.S. and blame Iran . People have been conditioned to hate and fear Iran and believe lies that support and deepen that hate. Proofs to the contrary are simply dismissed as pro-Iranian or pro-terrorist propaganda.

. . . For example they could;
1.  accept an offer of enriched uranium from another source, to allay the false and groundless suspicions the U.S. has engendered in the world community.
2. They could offer to allow more inspections of Iran by the international community, in order to show that everything Iran had said was true.
3. Another even more dramatic policy step would be for Iran to announce it will officially recognise the reality of Israel's continued existence and will work with all nations to make a peaceful, secure middle east etc.

The ships will be in place to strike Iran by the end of the month. It may be a bluff. It may be a feint. It may be a simple show of American power. But I doubt it.

  U.S. Nuclear Attack on Iran
Comment by Larry Ross
October 8, 2006

Ex-U.S. Senator Gary   Hart claims Bush will launch "a preemptive war against Iran " this month before the November Congressional elections in the U.S.
The present predictions are that the Democrats would win enough seats to take control of the House, thus upsetting the Republican majority and perhaps preventing the more extreme war plans of the Bush Administration. The Bush neoconservative regime is determined to prevent that and reverse public opinion so that the Republicans will retain control. 
Will the Bush Administration rely only on lies and false propaganda, as Gary Hart's article implies, to justify preemptive war against Iran?
Or will Bush stage a 'False Flag' so-called 'terrorist attack' on the U.S. and blame Iran , in order to justify the use of nuclear weapons?

  Bush - Divine Guidance?
Comment by Larry Ross
October 7, 2006

Here is an article which gives more in-depth information about one of the themes in my NZ Tour talk - the influence of religious beliefs on Bush's foreign policy decisions. Also, "The October Surprise " may include a "False Flag" operation to gain public support for war with Iran and give a boost to Bush's and Republican Party popularity, for the Nov U.S.  elections, as detailed in my talk. It's very much like Adolph Hitler having the Reichstag burned down 3 days before the 1933 German elections, in order to get popular approval and Hindenberg's agreement to sign papers doing away with civil rights and allowing the installation of Hitler's dictatorship. At the moment, NZ might follow the U.S. lead, due lack of public education about this possibility.

The October Surprise

by Gary Hart, HuffingtonPost
October 3, 2006

It should come as no surprise if the Bush Administration undertakes a preemptive war against Iran sometime before the November election.
Were these more normal times, this would be a stunning possibility, quickly dismissed by thoughtful people as dangerous, unprovoked, and out of keeping with our national character. But we do not live in normal times.
And we do not have a government much concerned with our national character. If anything, our current Administration is out to remake our national character into something it has never been.

Why Bush Will Nuke Iran

by Paul Craig Roberts
September 26, 2006

The neoconservative Bush administration will attack Iran with tactical nuclear weapons, because it is the only way the neocons believe they can rescue their goal of US (and Israeli) hegemony in the Middle East.
The US has lost the war in Iraq and in Afghanistan. Generals in both war theaters are stating their need for more troops. But there are no troops to send.

But Bush administration policy toward the Middle East is being run by men, yes, only men who were routinely referred to in high circles in Washington during the 1980s as "the crazies." I can attest to that personally, but one need not take my word for it. According to James Naughtie, author of The Accidental American: Tony Blair and the Presidency , former Secretary of State Colin Powell added an old soldier's adjective to the "crazies" sobriquet in referring to the same officials. Powell, who was military aide to Defense Secretary Casper Weinberger in the early 80s, was overheard calling them "the f -ing crazies" during a phone call with British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw before the war in Iraq. At the time, Powell was reportedly deeply concerned over their determination to attack with or without UN approval. Small wonder that they got rid of Powell after the election, as soon as they had no more use for him.

He reveals how the U.S. conspired to ensure that the very successful UN inspection and disarmament efforts were torpedoed, so that the U.S. and UK could engage in mass bombing of Iraq's non-existent weapons-of-mass destruction, crippling sanctions that killed thousands of Iraqi children, and eventually, war based on lies. It is a very, very revealing talk that helps one really understand the continuing deceit practiced by the U.S. and UK governments on their own people about Iraq, Iran and middle-east affairs during the preceding decades.

Since 1945, nuclear weapons have been considered a threat to humanities future. Intensive publicity on this theme, as well as much anti-nuclear campaigning has taken place around the world for the last 60 years. Diplomats have spent endless hours working on nuclear arms control treaties with eventual nuclear weapons abolition clauses. Why? Would this have been necessary if nuclear weapons were not so dangerous?

Many of the warheads were designed and built 40 years ago, and their plutonium and other components are slowly breaking down in ways that researchers do not fully understand. With no new bombs in production, the government spends billions of dollars each year tending to its aging stockpile.

GEORGE Orwell wrote his book, 1984, in the 1940's. The year, 1984, was a long way off then, but what he foresaw as a possibility seemed much closer. We approached it during the McCarthy years in the fifties, but sanity reasserted itself.
When Nixon came to power, it looked like Orwell's fears might come to pass, but Nixon and his cronies overreached themselves and we were saved again. Reagan and Bush I came fairly close also. They refined a lot of the techniques, but the time was not right. It is beginning to look like the Regime of Bush II might turn Orwell from a novelist into a prophet.

America needs enemies to feed its "military/industrial complex" which has become a threat to the continuation of the United States as Americans know and love it. President Dwight Eisenhower warned Americans about this as he left  office in 1960.

The latest information I have had from the followers of der Bush is that he has demanded and received permission to use nuclear "bunker busters" in Iran in a preemptive strike. As a nuclear veteran (Operation Redwing, Bikini, 1956) I can affirm that this is absolute madness. The "bunker buster" is a cute sounding name for a nuclear horror. Air bursts are horrible enough, doing incredible destruction through heat, shock and high initial radiation. The fallout from an air burst is registered around the world. A surface or subsurface burst is even deadlier and more long lasting.

How many more will be wounded, maimed, blinded, burned, radiated, slowly dieing of their untreated wounds.
The madmen have been ruling America since 2,000. Iraq showed what they could do - they started a war based on lies. Not only did they get away with it, the Bushcons cheated their way into power again in 2004. Now they are ready, and with a few words and decisions, can inflict mass genocide in Iran. Bush has the power to destroy the world many times over. It's very possible this will happen if the nuclear slaughter in Iran triggers an expanding holocaust.

  1 Million Dead Iranians

Twelve hours. One circuit of the sun from horizon to horizon, one course of the moon from dusk to dawn. What was once a natural measurement for the daily round of human life is now a doom-laden interval between the voicing of an autocrat's brutal whim and the infliction of mass annihilation halfway around the world.

   
   
  Iran: war by October?
by Paul Rogers
April 20, 2006

Washington's political timetable may turn harsh rhetoric into military escalation, unless voices of restraint in both the United States and Iran can prevail.
Seymour Hersh's recent New Yorker article on the risk of war between the United States and Iran contained many insights into the current thinking of US political and military leaders. The one that has attracted most attention was the desire of figures on the political side to keep the "nuclear option" on the table, even in the face of reported opposition from some military planners (see "The Iran plans", New Yorker, 17 April 2006).     more from Paul Rogers

   
   
  U.S. Physicists Tell Bush "Don't Use Nuclear Weapons Against Iran"
Comment by Larry Ross
April 20, 2006

Top U.S. physicists say " U.S. plans to reportedly use nuclear weapons against Iran were "gravely irresponsible" and warning that such action would have "disastrous consequence for the security of the United States and the world". Last fall 1,800 U.S. physicists repudiated new U.S. nuclear policies that include pre-emptive use of nuclear weapons against others. They said the Hiroshima bomb killed 100,000 people. Today the world's nuclear arsenals have 200,000 times the explosive force of the Hiroshima bomb - enough to kill the world's entire population many times over.

  Bush Expands US Nuclear Weapons Facilities
Comment by Larry Ross
April 17, 2006

More nuclear weapons and more manufacturing facilities. Combine that with the new nuclear weapons doctrines of pre-emptive nuclear war and using these weapons as an optional part of conventional warfare. There is also the 2002, U.S. Nuclear Posture Review, in which 7 or 8 countries including China and Russia, were named as potential enemies requiring the use of U.S. nuclear weapons. Almost any nation can become a U.S. target, especially oil producing nations like Iraq and Iran.

  U.S. Rolls Out Nuclear Plan
April 6, 2006

The Bush administration Wednesday unveiled a blueprint for rebuilding the nation's decrepit nuclear weapons complex, including restoration of a large-scale bomb manufacturing capacity.
The plan calls for the most sweeping realignment and modernization of the nation's massive system of laboratories and factories for nuclear bombs since the end of the Cold War.

   
   
  Iran: don't let it happen
by Katharine Gun - New Statesman
April 17, 2006

"To me it would be a worse crime to stay silent if telling the truth could prevent war."
More than three years ago, as George Bush and Tony Blair rushed headlong into the invasion of Iraq, Martin Bright, then at the Observer, tested the veracity of an e-mail passed to him and his colleagues anonymously, while I nervously waited to see if the contents would appear in a newspaper. The e-mail, which the paper duly published, contained details of a bugging operation designed to coerce wavering members of the UN Security Council to vote for the use of force. It alerted the world to what I saw as scandalous dirty tricks within the United Nations.

  Bush & Blair Plan to Create Justification for Their Illegal War on Iraq
Comment by Larry Ross
April 3, 2006

The Whitehouse memo shows Bush and Blair had lots of testimony based on UN inspection that there were no WMD or a nuclear weapons in Iraq. But they decided to make war based on the lie that there were WMD in Iraq, even though that would not be a valid excuse for war in any case. Some of the other lies invented to justify the war were that Saddam had links to al-Qaeda and Osama Bin Laden, and that Saddam was connected to the attack on 9/11, and that Saddam was a threat to the US, UK. None of this was true and Bush and Blair had no evidence for their lies.
Nevertheless both lied to their publics and governments in order to get support for their war.
Now they are planning to do it again to justify a war with Iran.

  U.S. War with Iran in April, 2006
Comment by Larry Ross
April 1, 2006

If Professor Jorge Hirsh is right, the U.S., claiming an Iranian biological warfare threat, will attack before April 30, 2006.
This ties in with other papers warning about a U.S. - generated war on Iran starting about this time.
The decision to develop the mythology of a biological warfare threat from Iran, is because a U.S.-alleged lie that Iran is a nuclear threat had lost all credibility. It was a cunning step and more difficult to expose that the phoney nuclear threat.
People must act now to prevent this nuclear genocide against a non-nuclear state, for invented reasons.

The world has gotten itself into a real jam. I mean a humdinger of a jam! As in John Paul Sartre's existential drama, No Exit, which so nicely portrays the inescapability of self-chosen evil, the inevitability of a self-made Hell, there seems to be no way out for the world; no way for the inhabitants of planet Earth to escape what appears to be the inevitability of a hell of its own making... World War III!

   
   
  Born Again President Prepares to Kill Millions for No Reason
Comment by Larry Ross
March 31, 2006

Nobel Laureates and other prominent figures petitioned the U.S. Congress not to nuclear bomb Iran "regardless of whether Iran is in any way involved in an attack on the U.S." This plan is very much like the Pentagon's "Operation Northwoods" to blame and then bomb and invade Cuba in 1962, after a faked attack on the U.S. using U.S. covert action.
Petitioners were appalled at the Bush-Pentagon plan, which was justified with their Nuclear Posture Review, Dec 2001, and Doctrine for Joint Nuclear Operations, March 15, 2005 to "use nuclear weapons as a tool in warfare like any other".

  Will The U.S. Nuke Iran?
From IHC

In an August 2005 issue of The American Conservative, former CIA officer Philip Girarldi raised the alarm over in-process Pentagon contingency plans drafted in preparation for another terrorist attack in the United States. The response includes a plan for a massive air assault on Iran with the use of both conventional and tactical nuclear weapons regardless of whether Iran is any way involved in such an attack against the U.S.
One month after the publication of Giraldli's warnings, physicists from around the world, including numerous Nobel laureates and prominent figures, signed a petition expressing their dismay at seeing the architects of Bush administration policy embrace the use of nuclear weapons as a tool in warfare like any other. The new US policy to use nuclear weapons against non-nuclear countries has been officially formulated in two US government documents Nuclear Posture Review delivered to Congress in December 2001 and Doctrine for Joint Nuclear Operations dated March 15, 2005.

  Bush Iraq War Strategy
Comment by Larry Ross
March 16, 2006
That Bush has stepped up his air raids in Iraq, doesn't care who he kills and maims and that Iraqis testify that this increases the level of Iraqi hate and resistance indicates Bush's real strategy.
Bush wants chaos and civil war in Iraq - as much as he can generate - before he attacks his next target which is Iran.
The more violence and civil war in Iraq, and the weaker the new Iraqi government is, the more Americans can claim to be needed, must stay and "help build the new democracy" and build more permanent military bases. Also, more violence means easier pickings for those systematically stripping Iraq of its assets, and more ' evidence' that Iran can be blamed for the increasing resistance. The more war, the more Bush's cronies in the U.S. military/industrial complex prosper.
