‘Christian the Lion’ - The full story With Love Anything is Possible

Christian left the Kora Reserve in 1973. He made his new territory along the Tana river, but when the Wakamba herdsmen kept bringing their livestock to his hunting ground, he moved on. George Adamson said in his autobiography, "I used to count the days on which we hadn't seen Christian, but when they reached 97, I gave up recording them in my diary." Because a lion can live from 12 to 15 years in the wild, Adamson believed that Christian ended his days in the Meru National Reserve only a few miles up river.

Attorney General Mukasey to Congress: Defy the Rule of Law NEW

By Steven Lendman,

Global Reseach

July 23, 2008

Along with other past and present administration officials, Attorney General Michael Mukasey supports lawlessness and police state justice. Weeks after the Supreme Court's landmark (June 12) Boumediene ruling, he addressed the conservative, pro-war American Enterprise Institute (on July 21) and asked Congress to overrule the High Court - for the third time. His proposal:

-- subvert constitutional and international law;

-- authorize indefinite detentions of Guantanamo and other "war on terror" prisoners (including US citizens designated "enemy combatants"); and

-- deny them habeas rights, due process, and any hope for judicial fairness. MORE=>

Stop War on Iran Campaign: How Many Wrong Wars are the American People Supposed to Fight? NEW

By Sherwood Ross

Call for Action, August 2-3

So, just how many wrong wars are the American people supposed to fight? Here we’ve got a president that criminally deceived us into making war on Iraq and who is now trying to plunge us into another criminal venture against Iran!

If you swallowed the Bush lie he struck Iraq based on faulty CIA analysis doesn’t his motivation become clear when he rejects the new National Intelligence Estimate’s report that told him there is no basis for attacking Iran? MORE=>

Kucinich vs. The Establishment: Impeachment Hearing On Friday

Paul Joseph Watson
Prison Planet
Wednesday, July 23, 2008

Congressman Dennis Kucinich will this Friday present his single article of impeachment concerning the Bush administration’s deliberate and unconstitutional lies that led us to war in Iraq, putting him in tandem with the majority of the American people, yet in the cross hairs of both Neo-Cons and Democrats who have tried to block his efforts at every turn…

…Support for a withdrawal from Iraq and the impeachment of George W. Bush is wildly popular with the majority of the electorate that will vote in November, so why are top Democrats doing everything in their power to prevent Kucinich from drawing attention to the matter?

Because they are nothing more than political whores for the same power structure served by the Neo-Cons, and want to advance the same agenda of pax-Americana, imperial bloodletting and domination demanded by the new world order and the Israeli AIPAC lobby, to which Pelosi and Conyers have pledged their full subservience.

LC Editor’s Comments: In summary Watson views the following groups as Kucinich’s enemies in his well-justified, determined drive to have President Bush impeached: Top Neo-Cons and Democrats in Congress, both of which have the same horrific plans and goals as those to whom they have pledged their full subservience: The new world order and the Israeli AIPAC lobby. And I agree with his assessment.

There’s An Ugly Reason Democrats Won’t Support Articles Of Impeachment - AIPAC

By William Cormier,

June 12, 2008

During the last few months, I’ve tried in vain to understand why the Democrats will not support an impeachment resolution against Bush or Cheney. I read hours and hours of news and facts, but it took a comment from a BuzzFlash reader to open my eyes, and what I saw almost left me speechless! It was a comment written in response to the article, “The Democrats Are Betraying The People Again! Hoyer Is A Wimp!” Through four (4) years of writing, I’ve been a staunch supporter of the people of Isreal, but have vetted my hatred for AIPAC and Zionism, so no one can accuse me of being anti-Semite for reproducing this comment, because it’s nothing but the facts.

Top Israeli Officer Stresses Iran on First US Visit

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Israeli Lt. Gen. Gabi Ashkenazi, on his first visit to Washington as Israel's top military officer, said on Wednesday it was crucial to block what he called "Iranian aggression" in the Middle East. Western nations accuse Iran of seeking to develop nuclear weapons under the cover of its civil nuclear program. Iran denies that, saying its atomic program is to generate power so it can export more of its valuable oil and gas. MORE=>

LC Editor’s Comments: As LC readers already know the best of the best U.S. intelligence agency and agencies as well as the nuclear facilities on-site inspection experts from the International Atomic Energy Agency have concluded that (1) Iran’s nuclear program consists entirely of producing fuel rods for its nuclear electric power reactor under construction and that Iran neither has facilities for producing the highly enriched uranium needed for nuclear weapons, (2) Iran possesses no weapons grade uranium and (3) Iran is not gearing up to produce weapons.

Then why does Washington persist in spreading Tel Aviv’s lie that Iran is working to produce nuclear weapon and not so subtly suggest that one or both nations may need to bomb Iran’s nuclear facilities to remove the non-existent nuclear weapons threat? Why does Congress so enthusiastically support resolutions designed to financially strangle Iran for the purpose of coercing it into to shut down its peaceful nuclear program.

The Israel Lobby

By John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt

London Review of Books

March 23, 2006

For the past several decades, and especially since the Six-Day War in 1967, the centrepiece of US Middle Eastern policy has been its relationship with Israel. The combination of unwavering support for Israel and the related effort to spread ‘democracy’ throughout the region has inflamed Arab and Islamic opinion and jeopardised not only US security but that of much of the rest of the world. This situation has no equal in American political history. Why has the US been willing to set aside its ow
