5/31/03 No More Chance for Dollar The rest of the world starts to bail on the dollar.

This is the downside of a fiat monetary system. When US money was based on gold or silver, the holder of the money controlled its worth. Nothing the government did could alter the worth of that gold or silver. Government's only job was to guarantee that the monetary units were of consistent sizes and weights. But under the fiat-system, control of the worth of the money passed from the holder of the money to the issuing government, and as the government printed up more and more paper money unsupported by anything of value, the worth of the individual monetary units declined. The current dollar Federal Reserve Note is worth roughly 1/40th of what a dollar Silver Certificate was worth, and now, driven by a billion and a half a day trade deficit,  the dollar is about to take a huge plunge. There is a terrible irony in this. The whole reason for the war was to try to salvage the hopeless debt problem the government is in by grabbing Iraq's oil and selling it for dollars, to prop up demand for dollars. But if the dollar collapses, those companies pumping out that oil will still want to charge the world market price, which means prices domestically will skyrocket. That in turn will drive up the prices of every other product that uses petroleum products in any way, shape, or form. And, since most of the manufactured goods we purchase in America are imports, a dropping dollar will send their prices through the roof. A devalued dollar helps trade only if the US has vast amounts of products ready to export, which it does not. The US Government turned its back on manufacturing decades ago. As the dollar drops, foreign investors will seek more profitable locales for their money, and those portions of the government debt held by foreign interests and calculated in the currency of the lending nation also become far greater. The bills of all the "deficit spending" have come due. And there is nothing left to pay them with.

5/31/03 Bush: Comments revive charges of deceit

5/31/03 Powell was under pressure to use shaky intelligence on Iraq: report The blame shifts higher, to the White House, for the decision to lie to the United Nations. When will the UN take the necessary action?

5/31/03 The top U.S. Marine commander in Iraq said Friday that U.S. intelligence was "simply wrong" in its assessment that Saddam Hussein intended to unleash chemical or biological weapons against U.S. forces during the war, but he stopped short of saying there was an overall intelligence failure. Because it wasn't a failure, it was a LIE.

5/31/03 US government lied about Iraqi weapons to justify war It is time to call it what it is, the claim of Iraqi WMDs was a monstrous lie told to the world to manufacture a war of conquest.

5/31/03 British, U.S. Claims On Iraq's WMD Cock-up "This could be the greatest intelligence hoax of all time," (only if it includes 9-11 itself).

5/31/03 President Bush's contention that America went to war with Iraq to rid Saddam Hussein of hidden biological and chemical weapons "could be the greatest intelligence hoax of all time," the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee warned Friday. But who was the ultimate hoaxer

5/31/03 Straw, Powell had serious doubts over their Iraqi weapons claims This is Powell's attempt at a CYA. If he had doubts about the WMD claims, then why did he stand there in front of the UN with a plagiarized student paper and a test tube full of (we hope) talcum powder doing his best to "prove" Iraq had weapons the US needed to invade to destroy.

5/31/03 U.S. insiders say Iraq intel deliberately skewed Bit by bit, the fact of the lie is finally being admitted to. The only question is, how far does the lie reach? If we were lied to about Iraq's WMDs, were we lied to about who was the mastermind behind 9-11? "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.

None of the lies the US Government told to get their war in Iraq would have succeeded without the willing complicity of the media. This is a point that should be made in Monday's FCC hearings; that the purpose of limiting ownership of media was to limit the spread of intentional lies and deceptions by any one media source. If the FCC relaxes ownership rules now, in the wake of Wolfowitz's comments about Iraq's WMDs, it will be seen as what it is, a reward by the government to the media that helped sell a war.

About those trailers that the US insists must be biological weapons plants?

From the start, the story that these trailers are biolabs has never seemed credible. The photos of the trailers show men crawling all over them wearing no protection at all against the weapons-grade nasties the US claims these trailers were able to create. Aside from an occasional paper mask, the men seen standing in these trailers are wearing none of the precautionary suits or other protective devices one would expect given the purpose the trailers are at least official suspected of serving.

Tests have shown that there are no traces of biological weapons anywhere on the trailers. The official story is that the Iraqis cleaned off and sterilized all the equipment on the trailers to destroy any evidence of biological weapons production, yet for some reason left the trailers themselves and their equipment, the most damning of all evidence possible, intact.

This slight logic problem aside, there are several problems with the trailers. They look more like movie props. For one thing, the pipes which appear to join the major components together are certainly nowhere near up to the pressure indicated by some of the major components themselves. Thick high-pressure pipes are intermixed with thin pipes that appear to be little more than plumbing supplies from the local hardware store.

Close examination of the trailer raises serious questions about the stated purpose of the trailers, which are seen in these photos.

Note the total absence of any protective gear worn by the US soldiers in this photo. Note also that there are no signs of any special handling equipment, like globe boxes or airlocks, one would use to insert and remove hazardous materials from the machinery.

This is one of the most widely publicized view of one of the trailers. In this view, the canvas cover is just being removed. The official US story is that the trailers were kept covered at all times to conceal their function and purpose from satellites and reconnaissance planes. Note that the cover extends over the forward part of the trailer.

This is the photo which is the most interesting. Just below the center is an air compressor like those found in garages to pump up tires, but not usually found in biological labs. But by far the most interesting object is the large box seen at the very front of the trailer, which from this view is clearly a large cooling element such as is usually found on the roofs of buildings as part of the air conditioning system.  A cooling element of this size would normally be able to chill down a large house or small office building. On a trailer of this size it is overkill, and more to the point, why would someone have a device that dumps excess heat to the outside, INSIDE the canvas cover? And since such cooling units are only the outside part of a cooling system, where is the other half, the inside cooling element, which would normally be found inside a ventilation duct?

This inconsistent use of this easily identifiable piece of equipment suggests that this trailer is a hoax, some other device described as a bioweapons lab to try to justify a war after the fact. Were it really a biological weapons factory, there would be traces of the biological weapons on it. If it were a biological lab and the Iraqis wanted to get rid of the evidence, they would have destroyed the trailer itself. And finally, one does not have one half of an air conditioner, the outdoor half, sitting on the inside of such a trailer.

5/30/03 WMDs only 'bureaucratic reason' for war: Wolfowitz The US decision to stress the threat posed by Iraq's supposed weapons of mass destruction above all others was taken for "bureaucratic" reasons to justify the war, Deputy Defence Secretary Paul Wolfowitz was quoted as saying in remarks released today.

Of course this is released late Friday so that by Monday, it is hoped this will be "old news" and that everyone will get on with the "new news" next week, such as the designated distracter, Laci. No such chance. The US Government lied to the American people to justify a war. This is an illegal and unconstitutional act by Bush and his cohorts. This lie to the American people and to the world is a crime, one that resulted in a great many deaths. I certainly do not intend to let this issue pass quietly, and I hope I can count on you to do the same.

5/30/03 If you want diversity, go to the internet. No kidding, it's in the second paragraph, supporters of the relaxation of FCC ownership rules cite the internet as proving there is adequate diversity in the media.

Today, as was the case for yesterday, the mainstream news is focused on the Laci Peterson case. Yes, it is a tragedy, but is this case really of national importance? I am reminded after all of the total media deluge of the Chandra Levy case, where the mainstream media was making breaking news alerts every time Gary Condit crossed the street, and notably to the exclusion of all else. Later on, we learned that at the very same time the US Mainstream media was saturating America with "All-Condit-all-the-time", the foreign press was reporting a US plan to invade Afghanistan in October 2001. This was months before the events of 9-11, which occurred exactly on queue to anger the American people into invading Afghanistan, even though no link between 9-11 and Afghanistan was ever proven. So now we have the Laci Peterson case dominating the headlines. Like Condit/Levy, is the Peterson case being used to distract the nation from something far more likely to impact us all directly? We certainly know that the same Government that ballyhooed a tax break for the wealthy all over the media quietly raised the debt limit last Friday when it would be least noticed, and the White House is this week denying burying a report that current spending trends will result on a staggering $44 trillion dollars in deficits. And, as was the case during the Condit/Levy media blitz, quiet preparations are already under way for the next war(s), headlined in the foreign press, back-paged here. Yes, the murder of Laci was a terrible crime. But does it affect the entire nation to the same extent as a $44 trillion deficit, or yet another war? No, it doesn't. It's a distraction, waved at America as "managed news", to keep people from thinking too much about that $44 trillion deficit, the new debt limit, the tax cut that makes the rich richer and the middle-class poorer, $1 trillion missing from the Pentagon, the total absence of WMDs in Iraq, arrested Israeli spies, and that next war your money and blood will be poured into.

5/30/03 WMD just a convenient excuse for war, admits Wolfowitz When the government uses lies to sell a war, it is an admission that the real reasons for the war are ones that the government a priori knows the public will not support. Otherwise there would be no need for such deceptions. At the heart of the matter lies a single question; does the government have a right to lie to the people to win support for a war. My answer is "no". The government does not have a right to lie to the people. Nowhere in the Constitution is the government given explicit permission to lie to the people, and the tenth Amendment bars the government from assuming that right to itself. Therefore, when a government lies to the people, as it has clearly done now, it acts unconstitutionally and illegally, and is no longer operating as the legal constitutional government of this land. And, if the government lied about WMDs to get into a war in Iraq, how can anyone assume that the government did not lie about who was really behind 9-11, in order to get into all of these wars?

5/30/03 US fiscal deficit reaches $44 trillion: Study You need to re-read this, and you need to pay attention to the following... "The study concluded that to correct the imbalance, wage taxes would have to be hiked 16.7 percent or personal income taxes by 69.3 per cent." This is WHY the government has been trying to disarm you, so that you cannot say "no" when the government taxes you into poverty to bail themselves out of the fiscal mess they have created. This is, in fact, the precise sort of situation that Thomas Jefferson had in mind when he supported the Second Amendment, to reserve to the people the means to resist a despotic tyrant. We The People did not borrow all that money. Certainly today's children, who have never yet been allowed to vote, have had no choice about this huge debt about to be placed on them. The government simply declares that they must work and surrender the majority of what they earn to the government. To demand that someone should work and then give the proceeds of that work to others is a good definition of slavery. And that's the lives our children will live, tax slaves convinced by the propagandists that they are free in their slavery, a lifetime of servitude and surrender, if we lack the courage to say, "Enough is enough". One more thing. Contrary to the report, raising taxes will NOT fix the problem because with a tax hike like that, more and more companies will move to other countries, taking high paying jobs with them. The US can raise taxes all it wants, but if there is nothing left to tax, the end is the same.

5/30/03 Government blames spies over war This is pathetic. Bush and Blair got caught lying and now they are trying to pretend that they are the victims, given bad information by intelligence sources, blaming CIA and MI6 for the WMD fiasco. (However, I note that the mysterious "foreign intelligence source" always quoted during the run-up to war is notably absent from the list of designated scapegoats as the lies continue to unravel.) But Bush and Blair are heads-of-state. They don't get to play victim and blame bad intelligence. It's their job to HAVE the right intelligence and to KNOW when they are being lied to. If there was a failure of intelligence, then it is Bush and Blair's failure for not catching it. However, we all know that there was no intelligence failure. Blair specifically asked for material to be added to his Dossier about Iraq which his own intelligence people did not think was accurate. Bush and Blair intended to deceive the world, and having been caught at it, lack the gonads to stand up and accept responsibility for it.

It will become public at some point when it's turned over to the archives, but that's 20 or 30 years from now." -- Senator Graham as quoted in Senator: At Least One Foreign Country Assisted the 9/11 Terrorists

5/29/03 The Bush administration has shelved a report commissioned by the Treasury that shows the U.S. currently faces a future of chronic federal budget deficits totaling at least $44 trillion in current U.S. dollars. The government is trying to blame the "Baby Boomer" costs for the problem, but the fact is that previous administrations had put extra money into the Social Security trust fund to build up the fund to deal with the impending Baby Boomer retirements, but that extra cash is what Clinton used to manufacture his phony "Budget Surplus". Of course, there are other areas of severe mismanagement by the government, such as the missing trillion from the defense department this year and a prior scandal involving $3 trillion that went "walkabout". The government (made up of mostly lawyers) turned its back on manufacturing 20 years ago, and has been borrowing money like mad, not to reinvest in building up the nation's manufacturing capability, but in endless give-aways, both foreign and domestic, in order to gain votes from various groups who have discovered they can vote themselves free bread and circuses.

5/29/03 US states face long-term budget shortfalls Over the last few decades, the Federal Government has been sending less money back to the states it took it from, forcing the states to borrow to meet their shortfalls. This transferred debt from the Federal to the State Governments to conceal the true size of the fiscal problem. Now the states are mired in debts and cannot get out.

There have already been satellites crippled by collisions with space junk, and a sustained program of "negation" could trigger a cascade of collisions, turning near-Earth space into a "no-man's land" of whirling bits of debris, too small to track and too numerous to avoid.

5/28/03 Documents from the Phoenix Program Created by the CIA in Saigon in 1967, Phoenix was a program aimed at "neutralizing" - through assassination, kidnapping, and systematic torture - the civilian infrastructure that supported the Viet Cong insurgency in South Vietnam. It was a terrifying "final solution" that violated the Geneva Conventions and traditional American ideas of human morality. The CIA destroyed its copies of the documents related to this program, but the creator of Phoenix gave his personal copies to author Douglas Valentine. He, in turn, has given them to The Memory Hole. They have never previously been published, online or in print.

Want to know why the people in other nations hate Americans so much? It isn't because of some imaginary freedoms. It isn't because we're rich. It's because agents of the US Government keep screwing around with other people's countries to force them to support the American system, while killing and torturing any who might object. Read the documents about what the CIA has been doing in your name, paid for with your tax dollars, and realize just what it is that the US Government is guilty of. And think of this; that you might someday be killed by the citizens of a foreign nation which has been covertly raped and plundered by the CIA is deemed not so great a price to pay for such adventures. Your life is gladly sacrificed as a necessary cost of the business of global piracy.

5/28/03 What Sharon Wants, Sharon Gets Reacting to the Israeli cabinet's twelve-seven vote (with four abstentions) in favor of the roadmap, but taking no note of the crippling preconditions imposed on Israel's adherence to the peace plan, Fox News Sunday host Tony Snow asked Senator Joseph Lieberman if he did not agree that the Bush administration should now ignore the other members of the Quartet altogether (the others being the European Union, the UN, and Russia) and go ahead with the roadmap in whatever way the administration saw fit; the U.S. should simply assert its prerogative as principal peace broker. "Well, yes," Lieberman responded, in a tone implying that the answer was so obvious the question need not have been asked. The Israelis mistrust the rest of the Quartet, Lieberman observed, and if we expect Israel to make peace we have to accommodate its concerns.

5/28/03 Bio weapons, or just a trailer? No traces of biological warfare agents have been detected in a specially equipped tractor-trailer found in Iraq but US intelligence has concluded that production of biological warfare agents was its "only consistent logical purpose," the CIA said on Wednesday.

Bush and his buddies are really desperate on this one. According to this latest spin, and I quote from the above article, "We suspect that the Iraqis thoroughly decontaminated the vehicle to remove evidence of BW agent production." Now, think logically for a moment (and I realize that for the pro-war types this may be a new experience); If the Iraqis wanted to remove evidence of BW agent production, why would they so thoroughly clean off the trailer to the point that no germs remain, but leave the machinery in the trailer itself intact? After all, some explosives and that tangle of pipes would be unidentifiable. Why leave such a damning piece of evidence in one piece, if it really was a BW production tool and if, as the US claims, the owners wanted to destroy evidence of BW production? At the very least why not scrap the pipes and tanks and keep the trailers for other uses, like loading up your belongings and getting out of the way of the invading hoards? Trailers are useful things, and were much in demand in those final days. Why were these left in place, their contents notably intact (albeit germ free) ?

5/28/03 The CIA is snooping around itself and other spy agencies to see if prewar reports of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction and ties to al-Qaida were exaggerated. i.e. they are going to find a scapegoat to fry to conceal the fact that the claims about WMDs were flat out lies.

5/28/03 Bush Now Playing The Same Iraq 'WMD' Game With Iran This is a classic case of the "fool me once" proverb. Americans just might be forgiven for allowing Bush to invade Iraq because of alleged rumors of WMDs. But no WMDs were ever found. And the US was caught flat-out lying trying to "prove" otherwise. So, if the US goes into Iran on the same bogus claims of WMDs, there can be no benefit of the doubt. Any American who is NOT seen standing up to oppose yet another invasion on yet another dubious claim of WMDs will be judged by history as being just as complicit with Bush's invasions as the German people were complicit in Hitler's. The time of conscience-saving fantasy is over.

5/27/03 Some doubt strength of US terrorism cases "Just once Winston caught a phrase -'complete and final elimination of Goldsteinism'- jerked out very rapidly and, as it seemed, all in one piece, like a line of type cast solid. For the rest it was just a noise, a quack-quack-quacking. And yet, though you could not actually hear what the man was saying, you could not be in any doubt about its general nature. He might be denouncing Goldstein and demanding sterner measures against thought-criminals and saboteurs, he might be fulminating against the atrocities of the Eurasian army, he might be praising Big Brother or the heroes on the Malabar front -- it made no difference." -- George Orwell "1984"

5/27/03 Bush goes boldly in wrong direction Bush likes to say he didn't cause the recession, or the stock market collapse or Sept. 11, or the corporate crime wave. And to a large extent, that is right. But the question isn't how we got into this hole, the question is how we get out. And increasingly it seems like Bush's policies are digging us in deeper rather than lifting us out.

5/27/03 Sarandon attacks Oscars control Oscar-winning actress Susan Sarandon has accused organizers of the Academy Awards of being obsessed with control. The star, who won best actress in 1996, said she resented the way they tried to regulate what actors said and did. (Hitler did the same thing with Germany's movie stars, like Kurt Jurgens)

5/27/03 Bush, the Bible, and Iraq As European nations become more secular, they're increasingly suspicious of a country with a born-again Christian President, whose political base includes the majority of non-Arab fundamentalists in the U.S. British playwright Harold Pinter spotlighted this suspicion when he recently called Bush "a hired Christian thug."

5/27/03 US acts swiftly to regain its supercomputing supremacy Holding the world title is all well and good, but frankly Supercomputers are a niche market. I think the effort would be better spent making widely used desktop computers and their operating systems crash proof, and to that end we need to restore product liability to the now-mature industry.

5/27/03 Congress Approves Record Debt Limit Debt ceiling raised another trillion. Guess whose kids will pay for it? And one more thing to think about, the Fed is about to deflate the money supply to try to keep the dollar's value up, but what that means is that you will have to work HARDER for each and every dollar, which means all your debts, mortgage, credit card, car loan, and your share of the estimated $14 trillion state and federal debt, is going to become even harder to work off. With a stroke of a pen, your value as an employee can be slashed, yet another downside of a fiat monetary system.

IRAQ: A LOOK BAQ! Comedy Channel's "The Daily Show" did a special episode tonight called "Iraq, a look baq" that was hilarious, and underscored all the major problems with the war in Iraq (and the upcoming war in Iran, Syria, etc.). No doubt, the same crowd that is trying to get Michael Moore's Oscar revoked will be flooding Comedy Central with complaints to shut Jon Stewert down, so I am going to ask all my readership to take a moment and leave a comment at http://www.comedycentral.com/help/questionsCC.jhtml asking for the show to be repeated, and to show some support for a show that is willing to tell it like it is. Thanks a bunch.

5/26/03 Israel's arms exports surged by 70 percent in 2002, and the boom was expected to continue with reports that US objections to a contract for selling airborne radars to India had been lifted.
