Fury at 'guilty Jews' remark by German MP...
The really interesting part is that people are starting to speak out. The damn is bursting, and Israel's shills are not going to be able to stop the flood. They've harassed too many people, threatened too many truth-tellers, hacked too many computers, pissed WAY too many people off. - M. R.

Vaccine-evading mousepox virus ignites debate...
US scientists engineering viruses that defy vaccination? While other US scientists splice the deadly 1918 Spanish Flu virus, to which we are all now immune, into a new virus to which there is no public immunity? Anyone care to tell me what these experiments could be for other than the creation of a major-league slate-wiper depopulation device? - M. R.

British Jews and Israel...
It is being reported that the Oxford professor did not exclude the young man in question for being Israeli, but for arguing in favor of ethnic cleansing. As usual, the media only provided part of the story, that part that makes Israel look right and everyone else look wrong. - M. R.

Massachusetts' state pension fund has sacked scandal-hit Putnam Investments as manager of $1.7bn of its assets.

US TV set for 'Jesus wife' storm...
Take a close look at Da Vinci's "The Last Supper".

That's a woman sitting next to Jesus, occupying the traditional position of a wife. Under Judaic laws of the time, Jesus could not be a Rabbi unless he were married. But Jesus marriage and his children are the secret Christianity does not want you to know, because the early Christian church leadership was based on the concept of apostolic descent, which only works if Jesus died without heirs. In the 1200s, the Catholic church, in order to consolidate power, undertook to erase from the world the descendants of the historical Jesus, and all public record that they had ever existed. In the process, 1/2 the population of Southern France was murdered. - M. R.

And just to show you we're all still friends, here's an extra five hundred mil!...
Note that the "loans" went away, which means YOU have to pay more. - M. R.

Israel, not Iraq, holds that distinction of being the first country in the region to use weapons of mass destruction with genocidal intent

U.S. Worries About Russia Freezing Assets...
Now let me see if I have this right. The US has been going around freezing assets like crazy, first Iraq, then Muslim charities, anyone rumored to be connected to "terror" (i.e. the ADL's hit list) even to the point where soldiers from the first Gulf War who won a lawsuit against Iraq can't get their money. And this is all okay. But when Russia freezes assets, all of a sudden it's a problem. - M. R.

Israel impoverishes their own people to pay for illegal settlements...

Pro-Israel magazine still trying to peddle claim that Iraq's WMDs are in Syria...
Let's take a closer look at this. According to Mr. Gertz, Saddam was just standing there with the US invading and bombing his nation into rubble. And supposedly Saddam had these horrific weapons which in theory could have dealt a devastating blow to the invading army, which is after all what one obtains WMDs FOR, as a deterrent. However, so the theory goes, Saddam was just standing there with his nukes and germs while mechanized hell rained down on his head and saying to himself, "Shucks, if I use these WMDs I'll REALLY be in trouble" and then ships them off to Syria. The really insulting part of this fairy tale is that Mr. Gertz actually seems to think we're all stupid enough to believe it! - M. R.

'I saw fit to remove her from the world' - Forums powered by Reason and Principle...

Bush claims credit for third-quarter boom...
Bush just proved that he is completely out of touch with the real world. Yes, some corporations, particularly those in the defense industry are doing well, while others are showing profits by downsizing or relocating their operations to nations with more favorable tax structures. But for the average American there is no boom, not even a pop. Bush must fully trust Diebold to deliver him a second term to show such total disregard for the average Ameerican worker. - M. R.

Feel a draft?...

Judicial Watch's Brief to the U.S. Supreme Court...
The Energy Task Force was funded by taxpayer dollars. There is in fact no legal reason for the documents not to be available to the public. Of course, we all know the reason they are being hidden. Those sections already made public do not deal with management and production of domestic energy supplies but contained maps of the oil fields of the Middle East, some of which we have invaded in the months that followed the Energy Task Force. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that the documents being withheld from public scrutiny can be summarized as ,"We can solve our energy problems by conquering the Arabs and stealing their oil." - M. R.

Census: Blacks migrating to South in record numbers...
This will swing the south back towards the Democrats. - M. R.

ADL Partners With Missouri State Highway Patrol For Unique Training Event...
Once again, US infrastructure is given an Israeli slant. These police will see Israel's enemies as their own, will see Israel's friends as their friends. A word to any Missouri police reading this that the ADL has been caught spying on Americans and recently lost a $10 million court decision for smearing people as "anti-Semites". - M. R.

The Iraqis change their minds, want Saddam back....

If terrorism cropped up in their conversation, Bulgheroni and Peres had plenty to reminisce about. Israel and Argentina served as U.S. proxies training terrorists in Central America through the 1970s and 1980s.

Boom, But Still No Jobs...
How do you explain the 7.2 percent growth in profits, created by an 11.1 percent increase in corporate spending; while at the same time managing to lose 43,000 jobs? Try intentionally impoverishing the population! - M. R.

Although the Bush administration won formal U.N. recognition for its rule in Iraq, that diplomatic victory is likely to yield few allied troops for occupation duty. In fact, even Turkey, which agreed to dispatch 10,000 soldiers after Washington's approval of $8.5 billion in loans, is now reconsidering its decision in the face of overwhelming Iraqi opposition.

United States President George W Bush's latest gesture to persuade Muslims both in the US and abroad that Washington is not seeking a "clash of civilizations" has not gone over well with its intended audience.

"He's not being fired, but they're starting to move people around," said one knowledgeable source. "It's all about (Bush's) reelection and how to get rid of the loonies without looking like they screwed up."

"These registered voters are really a new breed of American voter," Bond explains. "Barnabas and Cocoa are poodles. Parker is a Labrador. Maria Princess is a Chihuahua. Holly is a Jack Russell Terrier, and Ritzy is a Springer-Spaniel."

The House of Representatives, under intense pressure from Interior Secretary Gale Norton and the White House, has acted unconstitutionally and further breached the fiduciary responsibility that the United States government owes to more than 500,000 individual Indian trust beneficiaries. This is the assessment of Elouise Cobell, the lead plaintiff in a 7-year lawsuit, who has won repeated court rulings compelling the U.S. government to account for all revenue generated from millions of acres of individual Indian trust lands managed by the government since 1887. By a narrow 216-205 vote the House Thursday night approved an Interior department spending bill that is intended to protect Secretary Norton from further contempt proceedings in federal court for her continuing violations of law and court orders and her steadfast refusal to conduct an accurate accounting of the trust's assets.

Wilson's Crusade and Bush's Crusade...

I have had it with the Republican right calling into question the patriotism of those who question this Administration's Iraqi war program. We were duped and now are being told to be quiet because if we dare question our great President, then we are guilty of "... providing aid and comfort to the enemy."

Mossad And Moving Companies - Masterminds Of Global Terrorism?...
If you think about it, a moving company makes a great cover for spies/terrorists. Nobody pays attention to a strange truck in a neighborhood if it is a moving truck. Spies/terrorists can pretty much drive wherever they want without arousing suspicion as long as they do not break the traffic laws. It is worth noting that the 5 "Dancing" Israelis arrested during the aftermath of 9-11 were eventually exposed as Mossad, and were covered as workers for a moving company, whose owner abandoned his business and fled back to Israel. - M.

Disentangling the US Iraq policy from its pro-Israel stand By Michael Jansen...

The Washington Times: United Press International...
Those viewing themselves as special and above others in the eyes of whatever god they worship often feel and act as if they are not bound by the rules of the ordinary mortal. We have seen this on a small scale with the numerous child-sex scandals among clergy, who acted as if the normal rules do not apply, and hid their actions behind the facade of special blessing from above. Israel has carried the same practice to a national scale. Israel acts as if it is above the rules that bind other nations, enjoying the dubious honor of standing in defiance of more UN Resolutions than any other nation, plus a hefty chunk of the Geneva accords. Israel believes that other nations should not have weapons of mass destruction, however Israel itself has nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons and refuses any international inspections. Time and again the message is reinforced that Israel, like those molesting clergy, enjoys a different set of morals and laws. Recently, civilized society has taken some of those clergy and slapped them up side of the head and said, "You are an ordinary mortal like the rest of us, subject to the same rules of conduct." It is time for the international community to do the same with Israel. - M. R.

FBI Lies About Polygraph Accuracy...

Why did it take 28 minutes for flight controllers to notify NORAD two planes had been hijacked when the average time to do so in such a case is 3 minutes? Why were fighters scrambled from a base 180 miles away when seven other bases had fighter jets ready that could have done the job in a fraction of the time? Why was FEMA in New York the night before the crashes? Why did those fires at the base of the towers burn for 100 days? Why did Bush read a book for a half hour when he knew two planes had hit and two more were hijacked? Why was the bin Laden family flown out of the country when all flights were grounded? Why did the FBI chief say we had no warning this was coming and everybody else in the FBI say we had plenty of warning? Who did make the millions of dollars from all those put options on two airlines the day before the attacks?

Bush Lies Again...

Now and then I get letters and e-mail messages asking why I am so "obsessed" with Jews and Israel. The question amuses me. It would be one thing if I often wrote about Mali, or Honduras, or Borneo, or any other nation or country most people remember only as a name from geography class. I should think it's obvious that I'm “responding” to an obsession – an obsession of contemporary culture, politics, the media, the arts. We have been getting 24/7 coverage of Jews, the Holocaust, and Israel for years now. The front pages, the evening news, the magazine covers devote so much attention to Israel - a country the size of New Jersey on the other side of the world - that you could get the impression that it spans several time zones and includes much of the world's population (plus a few gentiles). Many columnists write about it more often than I do: Charles Krauthammer, William Safire, Cal Thomas, Paul Greenberg, Mona Charen, and George Will, to name a few. Of course they write uncritically about Israel, so they aren't considered obsessed; Eric Alterman of THE NATION has compiled a list of more than 60 well-known pundits who "reflexively" support Israel, while finding only 6 who are frequently critical.

A former Pentagon officer turned whistleblower says a group of hawks in the Bush Administration, including the Vice-President, Dick Cheney, is running a shadow foreign policy, contravening Washington's official line.

Iraqis See Israel as Culprit in Bombings...
The LA Times tries to dismiss what is obvious to the rest of the world. - M. R.

More people dead in Iraq proves that the American occupation of Iraq is working. That's what George W. Bush says.

Crawford George has morphed into Baghdad Bob. Speaking to reporters this week, Mr. Bush made the bizarre argument that the worse things get in Iraq, the better news it is. "The more successful we are on the ground, the more these killers will react," he said.

There are weapons of mass destruction all over Iraq and they were used this year. Iraqi children continue to find them every day.

Mossad, the Israeli intelligence service, organized the terrorist attacks of Sept 11, 2001, in order "to start a war between Muslims and Christians," says NWFP Chief Minister Akram Khan Durrani.
"Evidence linking these Israelis to 9/11 is classified. I cannot tell you about evidence that has been gathered. It's classified information." -- US official quoted in Carl Cameron's Fox News report on the Israeli spy ring and its connections to 9-11. - M. R.

The number of US soldiers killed in combat in postwar Iraq rose yesterday above the number killed before May 1, the day President George Bush declared victory.
"Bring 'em on!" -- GW Bush and note that the suspected bomber reported as having a Syian passport is actually Yemeni. - M. R.

Despite mounting criticism of the administration's Iraq policy, Vice President Dick Cheney appears to be ratcheting up his commitment to the circle of neoconservative intellectuals who helped spearhead President Bush's war policy, adding one of its most controversial proponents to his national security staff in a little-noticed move last month.
Kind of makes you wonder who is really in charge over there. - M. R.

At last count, 43 of the Bush campaign's 2000 "Pioneers" -- folks who raised at least $100,000 -- have received federal appointments: 20 of them were named ambassadors. The least loved of former Seattle Mariner owners, George Argyros, is U.S. ambassador to Spain.

Not once in the 20+ years I had worked in broadcast journalism prior to Fox - including lengthy stays at The Associated Press, CBS Radio and ABC/Good Morning America - did I feel any pressure to toe a management line. But at Fox, if my boss wasn't warning me to "be careful" how I handled the writing of a special about Ronald Reagan ("You know how Roger [Fox News Chairman Ailes] feels about him."), he was telling me how the environmental special I was to produce should lean ("You can give both sides, but make sure the pro-environmentalists don't get the last word.")

Sharon's support continues to erode in the wake of local election losses by the Likud, and Sharon's corruption scandals. The bottom line is that Sharon has not kept his promise to make life safer for Israelis. His lust for more land has made the Mideast more dangerous for everyone.

By paying civilians to handle military tasks, the Bush administration is freeing up U.S. troops to fight. But the use of contractors also hides the true costs of war.

Israel's top-ranking soldier believes that hard-line policies against the Palestinians are working against Israel's strategic interest and contributed to the downfall of the previous Palestinian prime minister

Akron doctor called up for at least 90 days

Chaim Kupferberg examines the crucial time period in 1995 when the major structural pivots in the 9/11 Legend were indelibly set in place - the February 1995 capture of the first World Trade Center bomber, followed two months later by the Oklahoma City bombing in April, and followed several months after by the November attack which heralded bin Laden's first public notice as America's foremost nemesis.

The cloud is still no larger than George Bush's hand but the storm of concern that the US is orchestrating over Iran is beginning to show uncomfortable similarities to the row over Saddam Hussein's Iraq.
Here we go again. Three questions: 1. Just where does Bush think he will get the kids to fight another war? 2. Where does George think he is going to get the money to fight another war? 3. Just what is George willing to do to manufacture consent for another war? - M. R.

On Wednesday, a former top Navy attorney publicly said for the first time that President Lyndon Johnson and Defense Secretary Robert McNamara ordered the U.S. military investigation to conclude that the Israeli attack was an accident.
The claim that Israel attacked the ship by accident is contradicted by the fact that Israel attacked the USS Liberty with UNMARKED planes and boats, hardly needed if Israel thought the ship was a legitimate target of war. - M. R.

A scientist funded by the US government has deliberately created an extremely deadly form of mousepox, a relative of the smallpox virus, through genetic engineering.

Shortly before dawn on Aug. 28, an M1A1 Abrams tank on routine patrol in Baghdad “was hit by something” that crippled the 69-ton behemoth.

Building on occupied land is a grave violation of the Forth Geneva Convention which clearly states that an occupier should not make any changes to the land they occupy whether through building a wall or settlements. President Bush has made a statement condemning Israel’s latest land theft stating that “there is a difference between security and land acquisition.” The construction of the separation wall has been opposed by the international committee and the “quartet” as a violation that goes against the creation of a viable Palestinian state and therefore an obstacle in the way of peace. A general assembly UN resolution condemning the wall had passed with an overwhelming majority, yet Israel seems relentless in their efforts to build the illegal barrier.

Is partial reversal of autism po......
Now that it has finally been admitted that mercury-based preservatives are the cause of autism, autistic children show signs of improvement as mercury is removed from their system. This is great news for the children and the parents, but raises a troubling question. How many autistic children could have been cured if the medical establishment had not delayed admitting the mercury-autism link? There is no question that mercury is a known toxin affecting the brain. The phrase "mad as a hatter" dates to the 18th century when hat makers developed severe neurological symptoms from the mercury salt they soaked felt in. So it cannot be a surprise that Thimerosol was going to wreck the brains of children it was pumped into. Nothing else shows the callous disregard of human life versus profits of the corporate mindset than this scandal. And get this, the ban on Thimerosol allows existing stocks to be used up, which means that children are STILL getting Thimerosol-laced vaccinations, and will continue to do so until May 2004. - M.

A Poll Among Iraqis Indicates the Bush Team Was Wrong in Foreseeing a Warm Welcome for the Occupiers

Have you noticed that one is not supposed to say “neocon” any more? It’s suddenly a dirty word because to use it as identification for a particular school of political thought is said to be “anti-Semitic,” apparently because so many prominent new conservatives are Jewish.

For example, while Cheney noted that when asked what kind of government they would like, Iraqis chose “the US... hands down,” in fact, the results of the poll are actually quite different. Twenty-three percent of Iraqis say that they would like to model their new government after the US; 17.5 percent would like their model to be Saudi Arabia; 12 percent say Syria, 7 percent say Egypt and 37 percent say “none of the above.” That’s hardly “winning hands down.”

Germany's forgotten victims...

"No wonder morale is low. No wonder the American soldiers I meet on the streets of Baghdad and other Iraqi cities don't mince their words about their own government. US troops have been given orders not to bad-mouth their President or Secretary of Defence in front of Iraqis or reporters (who have about the same status in the eyes of the occupation authorities). But when I suggested to a group of US military police near Abu Ghurayb they would be voting Republican at the next election, they fell about laughing.
