U.S. Seeks to Throw Out Convictions in Case Bush Adminstration Hailed As Major Win in Terror War.

Mr. Ruppert seems to have finally come around on Israel's link to 9-11. - M. R.

THE FIRST HINT that the tide may be changing came in February 2002, when the U.S. Navy revealed that its researchers had been studying cold fusion on the quiet more or less continuously since the debacle began. Much of this work was carried out at the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center in San Diego, where the idea of generating energy from sea water—a good source of heavy water—may have seemed more captivating than at other laboratories. Many researchers at the center had worked with Fleischmann, a well-respected electrochemist, and found it hard to believe that he was completely mistaken. What's more, the Navy encouraged a culture of risk-taking in research and made available small amounts of funding for researchers to pursue their own interests. At San Diego and other research centers, scientists built up an impressive body of evidence that something strange happened when a current passed through palladium electrodes placed in heavy water.

Bush says... well... fuckit, who cares...

Police Brutality In NYC" Updates...

Arrest of Jew in French arson has community worried about crying wolf...
Well, virtually every so-called hate crime in which the perpetrator has been identified has turned out NOT to be a hate crime. Clairmont car vandalism? The lady did it herself. Paris attack? That lady did it herself. San Francisco Synagogue? The Rabbis's son set the fire. Paris Social Center Arson? Again it was set by an insider. If we assume that the same ratio of fake to genuine holds true for the so-called hate crimes in which the perpetrators are NOT found, then we come to the unavoidable conclusion that the vast majority of these hate crimes are indeed fakes, staged for political gain. - M. R.

This week, a company is launching technology that will make it possible for someone to choose what appears on phones that have Caller ID, the feature for displaying identifying information about an incoming call.
Which sort of bypasses the whole point of having caller ID in the first place. - M. R.

New York: Reports of Widespread Police Abuse Filter In...
ATTENTION READERS: SEND PICTURES AND VIDEO OF POLICE ABUSE. - M. R.

The FBI has interviewed several senior Pentagon officials in recent days in connection with an investigation of a Defense Department analyst who is suspected of providing classified documents to Israel but has been cooperating with investigators for several weeks, government officials said yesterday.

Allegations. Denials. Not for the first time has the issue of Israel and espionage in Washington surfaced, as America's closest ally seems to betray its trust. But more damaging is the inescapable fact that if these espionage allegations are proven, US policy regarding the Middle East will have been compromised yet again.

Newsday photographer Moises Saman - who spent eight days in an Iraqi prison in 2003 - was arrested Sunday in Times Square while covering a protest related to the Republican convention.

Tycoon Conrad Black and his allies looted more than 400 million dollars from the company he created to manage a global media empire, a report prepared for a US court and regulators showed. The report said the amount skimmed by Black and Radler and their associates "represented 95.2 percent of Hollinger's entire adjusted net income during 1997-2003."
Check the comment on Richard Perle at the end. - M. R.

Political scandal in US as Bush advisers tell Israelis to be ready to walk out of Camp David negotiations.
Richard Perle (who has been caught previously giving classified information to Israel), actually encouraged the Israelis to walk out on Bush's Camp David meeting, even though Perle was supposed to be working for Bush at the time.

Remember what I said about the litmus test?

Perle has flunked his. - M. R.


Chief executives at U.S. companies that shipped jobs overseas won a 46 percent pay hike last year, more than five times the average CEO raise, while ordinary workers' paychecks barely budged, a study showed on Tuesday

Another American intelligence official has been caught spying for Israel, passing on top secrets about Iran to empower Israel into manipulating United States military action against that country. The American-Israeli spy is not the first and certainly not alone in stealing American secrets in order to influence US policies for the benefit of Israel. He is not even the most important. Scores of Israeli supporters spying for Israel occupy the highest posts in the American administration.

Why should treason be tax-exempt? Contributions to the Republican or Democratic Party and the National Rifle Association are not deductible on our tax returns because these are deemed as political activities. Our tax law does not allow political contributions to be deducted as is the case with charitable contributions. The powerful "Zionist" lobby that is dedicated to furthering the interests of Israel IS tax deductible! Why is that?!

It's been over four months since it was first reported that over a hundred US companies had been listed on the Berlin-Bremen Stock Exchange without their permission. That number eventually grew to over 1,000 that were listed by one brokerage firm alone, Berliner Freiverkehr. Although both Berliner Freiverkehr and the Berlin-Bremen Stock Exchange have maintained their innocence throughout the entire uproar, one company after another began the process to have their stocks de-listed from the exchange, claiming that their stocks were being manipulated through the foreign exchange utilizing the arbitrage exemption, a loophole in the NASD rules that critics say allows "naked short selling" though foreign exchanges.

The Israeli diplomat was identified as Naor Gilon, head of the political department at the Israeli Embassy in Washington, and a specialist on Iran's nuclear weapons program.

FLASHBACK: Israeli Roots of Hamas Are Being Exposed...
Relinked in light of HAMAS carrying out a bombing when Israel most needed a distraction from the latest hate-crime hoax and the spy scandal. - M. R.

Iran says several people arrested for nuclear spying...

The world press cites John Bolton, US Undersecretary of State, that even a single reactor in Bushehr can become a potential plutonium supplier allowing Iran to make 30 nuclear bombs a year. However, specialists know only too well that no one has ever made and will hardly make a bomb out of reactor-grade plutonium (as distinct from weapons-grade plutonium), since this is an extremely expensive, dangerous and unproductive method. Besides, a major chemical plant would be needed for implementing such plans, which could not be left unnoticed by the world.

An FBI investigation is shining the light on what appears to be a rogue Pentagon operation to advance an agenda of regime change in Iran.

Half A Million Protest Bush Agenda in New York...

New spy scandal comes as major blow to Israel, AIPAC...
How do you feel about a group involved in spying against America making campaign contributions to the guys on your ballot? How do you feel about voting FOR a name on that ballot that took money from an organization caught spying against America? - M. R.

Israel Blames US Power Struggle For Spying Charges...
Getting near the bottom of that list of excuses, eh? - M. R.

The FBI has broadened its investigation of a Pentagon official suspected of giving a top-secret presidential policy directive on Iran to two lobbyists working for AIPAC, who then turned the information over to Israel. The fact that the alleged spy is associated with Feith and Wolfowitz may prove embarrassing for the White House. Both officials, actively involved in planning the invasion of Iraq, have been accused of promoting the war to serve Israeli interests.

The government of the United States gives corporations and wealthy entrepreneurs in excess of $815 billion a year in tax relief and subsidies.

Bush tried to reclassify "manufacturing" jobs to include people who worked in fast-food joints; that teachers in Missouri were ordered to remove every third light bulb from schools to save money; that parents of soldiers in Iraq were in some cases forced to buy their children's own body-armour vests ("$1,500 retail"), plus hundreds of statistics attesting to Bush's failure to help America's poor, sick and discriminated against.

WHO OWNS THE US CONGRESS?...
One or the largest contributors to political campaigns is the organization lying at the heart of the latest spy scandal. - M. R.

In its outreach to potential supporters and to the media, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee touts its access to the highest levels of government. Now it’s that very access that has thrust the pro-Israel lobby, accustomed to working behind the scenes, into the limelight.

"Although several pipelines were blown up over the weekend, the Royal Welch Fusiliers have been able to ward off many attacks on the vital conduits that pump oil to tankers in the Gulf."
And you thought your kids were in Iraq to bring Democracy to the Iraqi people. Nope. They are protecting the oil the Bush cronies are stealing from Iraq. - M. R.

Why is Larry the result of FBI investigational success instead of the names of the Pentagon senior operatives who shared classified information with Ahmad Chalabi regarding American success in reading coded Tehran communications, specifically now as neoconservatives rage for war in Iran? Or instead of the names of senior White House operatives who revealed and destroyed the U.S. security mission of Valerie Plame?

What is well-documented is that the highest circles around Bush were quite aware in the Summer of 2001 -- as a result of fairly detailed intelligence frantically being passed on to them by other governments in the months and weeks before 9/11-- that a massive terrorist attack was in the works, which likely would involve hijacked airplanes aimed at icon American economic and political targets. The August 6, 2001 Presidential Daily Briefing, entitled "Bin Laden Determined to Strike in U.S.," talked about al-Qaida wanting to strike the nation's capital, preparations for airline hijackings, casing of buildings in New York, terrorists in the U.S. with explosives, etc. Bush went to ground in Texas, the FBI told Ashcroft to stop flying commercial jets, etc. The attacks finally came on 9/11.

Let’s assume that Chalabi and Franklin, two lower-level operatives for the same machine, are still working together. And that the machine, the great Neoconservative Empire Machine and its Israeli right-wing allies, is what needs to be investigated.

While the latest reports investigating the widely condemned events at Abu Ghraib prison attempt to close the book on the Pentagon’s culpability with a somber critique, new evidence gathered for a class action lawsuit filed against two US-based private contractors could prove that the scandal at Abu Ghraib was far from an isolated series of incidents perpetrated by a few rowdy "bad apples" working the night shift during Ramadan.

ANTI-BUSH RALLY: Feelings are heated...

Imagine for a minute if the spy was a Muslim working for an Islamic country. If AIPAC was American Islamic Public Affairs Committee. Not only the FBI but all major news media across the US would have gone on rampage. The spy would have been convicted by the media and the public without any evidence. Commentators across the TV channels and newspapers would have found links between the spy, AIPAC, and Al-Qaeda without FBI files. Smearing campaigns against Islam would have been launched. All the Muslims in the US would have been asked to demonstrate their patriotism and condemn that guy for his involvement in espionage.
By their double-standard, you will know who is loyal to America and who is loyal to a foreign power. - M. R.

While President Clinton was trying to broker an elusive peace between Israelis and Palestinians, the FBI was secretly funneling money to suspected Hamas figures to see if the militant group would use it for terrorist attacks, according to interviews and court documents.
Relinked in light of today's HAMAS attack in Israel, clearly designed to drive the Israeli spy scandal and Paris Hate Crime hoax off of the media. - M. R.

According to ICT papers, Hamas was legally registered in Israel in 1978 by Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, the movement's spiritual leader, as an Islamic Association by the name Al-Mujamma al Islami, which widened its base of supporters and sympathizers by religious propaganda and social work. According to U.S. administration officials, funds for the movement came from the oil-producing states and directly and indirectly from Israel.
With the spy scandal and the revelation that the Paris Jewish Social Center arson was another hate crime hoax, HAMAS, as predicted at this very site, carries out a "terrror" bombing when Ariel Sharon most needs one. - M. R.

The Secret Service at Booker Elementary: The Dog That Did Not Bark...
Posted in light of the recent Zogby Poll (see next) that shows half of those polled think Bush knew 9-11 was going to happen.

This article has been at this website for quite some time now, and asks a question nobody in the mainstream media can answer: With an unknown number of hijacked jets flying over the east coast, crashing into buildings, and with an airport only 4 miles away from Booker Elementary School, how did Bush AND THE UNITED STATE SECRET SERVICE know he was safe right where he sat, reading about goats? - M. R.


Half of New Yorkers Believe US Leaders “Consciously” Failed To Act On 9-11; 66% Call For New Probe of Unanswered Questions by Congress or New York’s Attorney General, New Zogby International Poll Reveals...

On 22 July 2004, the Justice Dept—via the Government Printing Office—told libraries to destroy five documents on asset forfeiture, a highly controversial practice in which the authorities take people's property. Sometimes the people have been convicted of crimes; other times they haven't even been charged with a crime. The order said: Please withdraw these materials immediately and destroy them by any means to prevent disclosure of their contents. The Department of Justice has determined that these materials are for internal use only.

Check out the New York Times story also on August 28, which discusses not only Feith's history and his pivotal role in circumventing traditional American intelligence channels and methods in creating the case for war with Iraq, but see how Michael Ledeen of the American Enterprise Institute and the nefarious Manuchehr Ghorbanifar of Iran-Contra fame fit into the picture.

Washington was rocked late last week by allegations that a Pentagon policy analyst on Iran, Laurence A. Franklin, had passed classified information to Israel through the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, the leading pro-Israel lobby group in the US. He is also said to have had extensive meetings with Naor Gilon, head of the political department at the Israeli Embassy in Washington, and a specialist on Iran's nuclear weapons program.

Washington is braced for one of its biggest espionage scandals of recent years after disclosures that the FBI is investigating a senior Pentagon aide who allegedly spied for Israel.

Along with Feith, all of the political appointees have in common a close identification with the views of the right-wing Likud Party in Israel.

The OSP was an open and largely unfiltered conduit to the White House not only for the Iraqi opposition. It also forged close ties to a parallel, ad hoc intelligence operation inside Ariel Sharon's office in Israel specifically to bypass Mossad and provide the Bush administration with more alarmist reports on Saddam's Iraq than Mossad was prepared to authorise. "None of the Israelis who came were cleared into the Pentagon through normal channels," said one source familiar with the visits. Instead, they were waved in on Mr Feith's authority without having to fill in the usual forms.

Haaretz tries the angry empolyee excuse...
Another hate-crime hoax is exposed, and Israel tries the "suspect was just upset" excuse (as they did in San Francisco when an "anti-Semitic" arson of a synagogue turned out to have been done by the Rabbi's son.)

But, let us not forget the swastikas and ethic slurs painted on the walls of the remains of the social center, and the phone call from someone who claimed to be from an Islamic group that claimed credit for the fire.

The fire was supposed to look like a racially motivated attack. It was supposed to be blamed on arabs.

It was a hoax.

OFFICIALS today confirmed a senior Israeli diplomat in Washington met several times with a Pentagon analyst being investigated by the FBI on suspicion he passed classified information on Iran to Israel. But Israel's foreign minister - denying allegations of espionage - said such meetings were commonplace and the two governments routinely shared secrets.

French police confirmed that a man arrested in connection with what was first believed to be an anti-Semitic arson attack on a Jewish social center a week ago was a Jewish man who had worked there.
Yet another hoax is exposed. - M. R.

The two days of hearings held in New York City by the commission investigating the September 11 terrorist attacks exposed the disparity between the government- and media-crafted myths about 9/11 and the reality that has become all-too painfully apparent to those whom the events of that day touched most deeply.

The Pentagon official under suspicion of turning over classified information to Israel began cooperating with federal agents several weeks ago and was preparing to lead the authorities to contacts inside the Israeli government when the case became publicly known last week, government officials said Sunday.
Okay, so whoever leaked the story to the media is working for Israel. - M. R.

In Pennsylvania and Georgia, Democrats are crying foul about "politically motivated investigations" and the questionable methods employed to conduct these investigations by two U.S. attorneys with strong Republican credentials. GOP officials from the local level to Washington, D.C. are saying this is hogwash invented by Democrats to try and smear their attackers. But on closer analysis, when one considers the First and Fourth Amendments to the Constitution, a disturbing pattern does seem to emerge in these cases.

Bush: 'War on terror cannot be won'...
So, after finally realizing that one cannot wage war on a noun, Bush is admitting that he has embroiled the US in an unwinnable war.

By entering a 2-digit code in a hidden location, a second set of votes is created. This set of votes can be changed, so that it no longer matches the correct votes. The voting system will then read the totals from the bogus vote set. It takes only seconds to change the votes, and to date not a single location in the U.S. has implemented security measures to fully mitigate the risks. This program is not "stupidity" or sloppiness. It was designed and tested over a series of a dozen version adjustments.

In light of today's news that the Paris Jewish Center was vandalized by a Jewish employee, we have yet again another litmus test. Will the US media give the same play to the arrest that they gave to the claims that the arson was an "Anti-Semitic" attack? - M. R.

Which is worse?
A: Having an adulterous affair with a homosexual while in office.
B: Allowing a spy into your bed, attempting to install him into a highly sensitive security position, providing him access to sensitive military, energy, technology and corporate intelligence and endangering the entire country via this appointment?

Israeli Spy In Pentagon Linked To AIPAC...

A man who has been arrested in connection with an arson attack on a Jewish social centre in France is Jewish and worked there, French police say.
Note how hard they are working to explain this as anything other than another hate-crime hoax. The claim that this was a creime by a man who resented that he was going to lose his occasional employment does NOT explain the use of swastikas and epithets to "decorate" the crime as an anti-semitic attack. - M. R.

Police in Paris have arrested a man in connection with a fire at a Jewish community centre that was initially assumed to be an anti-Semitic attack.
As I mentioned at the time, the tip-off that this was a hoax was the use of the swastika, a symbol which has no relevence in the twenty first century. In this case, the emblem is drawn backwards from the manner in which the nazis used it. - M. R.

Bush & Co. used the old "third party technique" with their Swift Boat attacks on Kerry. The technique is simple: "Put your message in someone else's mouth that the public will listen to."

The American Israel Public Affairs Committee is a lobbying group that used to support whatever government was in power in Israel, and used to give money evenhandedly inside the U.S. My perception is that during the past decade AIPAC has increasingly tilted to the Likud in Israel, and to the political Right in the United States. In the 1980s, AIPAC set up the Washington Institute for Near East Policy as a pro-Israeli alternative to the Brookings Institution, which it perceived to be insufficiently supportive of Israel. WINEP has largely followed AIPAC into pro-Likud positions, even though its director, Dennis Ross, is more moderate. He is a figurehead, however, serving to disguise the far right character of most of the position papers produced by long-term WINEP staff and by extremist visitors and "associates" (Daniel Pipes and Martin Kramer are among the latter).

According to Jeremiah, “It is also known that in at least one version of Sequoia’s WinEDS software, the special test mode specifically avoids testing all the parts of the voting software that run during an election. Sequoia has been silent on this issue, not telling anyone that they have made software that has a test mode that does not exactly mirror what happens in an actual election. Sequoia has also offered no evidence that this problem has been fixed in later versions of their software.”

Just in case New Yorkers have missed the fact that huge wads of their (and all other Americans') tax dollars are being shipped offshore to fund ongoing military operations in Iraq, a flashy new billboard went up in Times Square this week that keeps them in the picture. The billboard, which was to go live at 11am New York time on Wednesday, features a constantly updated clock counting the cost of the Iraq war, similar to the former national-debt clock. The clock, according to a news release from the Center for American Progress think-tank, was to start at US$134.5 billion and tick upward at the rate of $122,820 per minute. That's $177 million per day.

Attacks Halt Oil Exports From South Iraq...
I am going to predict that when the oil starts leaving Iraq through the pipeline to Hafia, the attacks on pipelines will magically go away. - M. R.

A Bushite who should know better sent me a clip over the weekend, singing Dubya’s praises because he told an NBC Today Show interviewer that “had my unit been called up, I would have gone (to Vietnam).” “This,” she said, “shows me what kind of man our great President is.” It sure does sweetie. It shows the President of the United States is not only a coward but a liar.

A prominent Jordanian journalist on Monday expected the United States or Israel to launch a "pre-emptive strike" against Iran in September or October with a view to enhancing President George Bush's re-election chances.

Jews against Zionism...
A reminder that Israel does NOT represent all of the world's Jewish people. - M. R.

News of the investigation of Larry Franklin, a middle-level functionary working for the Wolfowitz-Feith-Luti-Shulsky clique in the Pentagon, indicates that we are now approaching a critical choice-point on the road to war with Iran, and towards a synthetic terrorism attack inside the US which would be used as an additional pretext to start such a war.
The last time an Israeli spy ring was being rolled up, 9-11 happened. - M. R.

Within hours the story had grown from focusing on a single individual, Lawrence Franklin, described as a "mid-level desk officer," to include an entire nest of spies ensconced in the top echelons of the Pentagon, centered around the office of Douglas Feith, the Director of Policy:

The Kerry campaign thinks it has succeeded in discrediting the scurrilous attack on Kerry’s military service, but Rove got what he wanted. Instead of talking about a failed war in Iraq and a new report that shows 1.3 million more Americans living in poverty, we’re debating what happened in the Mekong Delta in 1968.

Israeli historian documents 24 cases of mass murder by zionists...

Kinberg was stopped by police while demonstrating the bicycle for the television interview. His bicycle is a high-tech graffiti writer, using chalk to print anti-Bush political messages sent by people via the internet. Apparently there was a question of whether or not the sprayed messages were a defacement of property.

If a stranger invades America and the people resist, does that mean they are terrorists?...Everyone [in Falluja] has been labeled a terrorist. These are all lies. ---- Ahmad Manajid, Iraqi Olympic Soccer Team Member

Fomenting a War on Iran...

Internet Turns 35, Still Work in Progress...

Having succeeded in getting the United States to invade and occupy Iraq, Israel is now making efforts to instigate the Bush administration to deal with the "Iranian threat".
... just as an Israeli spy is uncovered who worked inside the Office of Special Plans, the office that in hindsight manufactured the excuse to invade Iraq. - M. R.

Poles demands Iraq troop pullout...

Over the last four years, our stalwart leadership, led by George W. Bush and personified by Attorney General Ashcroft, Governor Ridge of the Homeland Security people and FBI Director Mueller have been issuing periodical, dreadful warnings to the American people about imminent attacks by Arab terrorists. It has now reached the point where no one with an IQ larger than his hat size believes them.

Get ready to pay even more for the Bushcon war against Islam at the behest of the Zionist lunatics in Israel and Washington.

Had Mossad, Israel’s secret intelligence organization, succeeded, it would have been the perfect crime—the crime of the century. The plan was breathtaking in concept: to assassinate the American ambassador to Lebanon, in Lebanon, with American weapons, intended for Israeli’s defense only. Everything about it would point to Lebanon as the culprit.

PHOTOS FROM NYC PROTEST...

The Israeli Spy Ring...
Relinked at reader request. Despite official Israeli statements that it has ceased spying operations in the US following the arrest of Pollard, the facts speak otherwise. Shortly before 9-11, the FBI discovered the largest single foreign spy ring ever uncovered inside the US, a spy ring run by Israel. According (briefly) to Fox News, evidence exists to link Israeli spies to9-11, but has been classified by the US Government. - M. R.

LIAR!...

THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE IS THE LAW OF THE LAND...

In January 1988, one month after the first Palestinian Intifada broke out, a small group of Israeli and Palestinian women stood once a week, at the same hour and at the same location - a major traffic intersection in Israel. They were dressed in black and held up a black sign in the shape of a hand with "Stop the Occupation" written in white. 'It was a simple form of protest that women could do easily... We could bring our children, there was no chanting or marching, and the medium was the message. Within months vigils sprang up throughout Israel'

THE DOORS OF PERCEPTION: WHY AMERICANS WILL BELIEVE ALMOST ANYTHING...

AIPAC, the Jewish lobbying juggernaut, operates in such high-stakes politics that it inevitably has been unable to avoid occasional unpleasantness. But almost universally, the largest pro-Israel lobby has found all the friends its has needed in Congress. More often than not, the politician who tried to face down the American Israel Public Action Committee came out the worse for it.

NASA FLUB...
Maybe if NASA spent more time on space-flight and less time building machines to spy on Americans, the Colombia crew would still be alive. - M. R.

Once again a spy for Israel stands exposed inside the US Government. Once again Israel denies any wrongdoing. And once again, we stand to learn much about loyalty in our own government and media by watching how they treat the story.

This situation in Najaf has made it clear that “post-handover” Iraq is still a US-occupied country. The Pentagon’s attempts to re-label the resistance as “anti-Iraqi forces” from “Saddam loyalists” can’t disguise the reality of Shiite and Sunni Iraqis rising up against the US all over the country.

In 1968, former Congressman George Herbert Walker Bush of Texas, fresh from voting to send other men’s sons to Vietnam, enlisted his own son in a very special affirmative action program, the ‘champagne’ unit of the Texas Air National Guard. There, Top Gun fighter pilot George Dubya was assigned the dangerous job of protecting Houston from Vietcong air attack. This week, former Lt. Governor Ben Barnes of Texas 'fessed up to pulling the strings to keep Little George out of the jungle. "I got a young man named George W. Bush into the Texas Air Guard - and I'm ashamed."

The Republican National Convention here is being guarded by the city's 37,000 cops -- a force twice as large as Canada's entire army. Ten thousand police will guard the convention centre at Madison Square Garden, backed by thousands more FBI, ATF, Secret Service, and other "federales."

Are we on the verge of another stolen election? Is anything being done about it?...

All the evidence shows that the Prime Minister misled Parliament and the people on the eve of the Iraq war. Now, as Peter Oborne reveals, a group of MPs are determined to impeach him
