Sheen Spreading from Gulf Platform Explosion By Alan Sayre,
Associated Press, September 2, 2010 A mile-long oil sheen spread Thursday from an
offshore petroleum platform burning in the Gulf of Mexico off Lousiana, west
of the site of BP's massive spill. Coast Guard Petty Officer Bill
Coklough said the sheen, about 100 feet wide, was spotted near the platform
owned by Houston-based Mariner Energy Inc.
He said Mariner had deployed three firefighting vessels to the site
and one already was in place fighting the blaze. FULL ARTICLE=> Oil Rig Platform

large amounts of short-term Treasury bills to fund bailouts and stimulus.
That caused a major increase in debt. Most of that paper was 2-year bills and

Pento Says Fed Will Buy Stocks And Real Estate In Its Next Attempt To Create
Inflation By Tyler Turdin, Zero Hedge, September
2, 2010 As part of the Fed’s latest QE
iteration, it has already been made clear that despite initial disclosures
that the Fed would stay in the 2-10 Year bound of Treasurys, Ben Bernanke is
now also gobbling up the very long end of the curve. For all those who are, therefore,
still confused why bonds continue to surge to record levels, don’t be: when
there is a guaranteed bidder just below you in the face of the Fed, and who
you can turn around and sell to at will, there is no pricing risk. The problem, from a bigger stand point, is what
happens when the Fed is actively buying up 30 Year bonds with impunity and
the much desired (by the Fed) inflation still does not appear? Well, the Fed
then, in Michael Pento’s opinion, will begin to purchase stocks and real
estate. FULL ARTICLE=> Did

… so much for Iraq. Turning now to

The curve has also been jagged as I have tried to assimilate the
not-always-consistent advice the four-star generals have given me. It’s been more than a little confusing.
When I took office, Gen. David McKiernan was running the war in Afghanistan.
He had expressed himself openly and strongly against an Iraq-style “surge” of
forces, emphasizing that Afghanistan is “a far more complex environment than
I ever found in Iraq,” where he had led U.S. ground forces. FULL ARTICLE=> Iraq: An End

2010 Amid much fanfare last week, the last supposed “combat” troops

War and a change in the role of the United States in that country.
Considering the continued public frustration with the war effort, and with
the growing laundry list of broken promises, this was merely another one of
the administration’s operations in political maneuvering and semantics in
order to convince an increasingly war-weary public that the Iraq War is at
last ending. However, military officials confirm that we are committed to
intervention in that country for years to come, and our operations have in

the last few years. In fact, there are some Americans that are doing
really, really well. While the vast majority of us struggle, there is one small
segment of society that is seemingly doing better than ever. This was
reflected in
a recent article on CNBC in which it was noted that companies that
cater to average Americans are doing rather poorly right now while companies
that market luxury goods and services are generally performing exceptionally
well. So why aren’t all American consumers jumping on the spending
bandwagon? Well, it seems that there are a large number of Americans
who either can’t spend a lot of money right now or who are very hesitant
to. A stunningly high number of Americans are still unemployed, and for
many other Americans, there is a very real fear that hard economic times will
return soon. On the other hand, there is a significant percentage of
Americans who are blowing money on luxury goods and services as if the
economy has fully turned around and it is time to let the good times
roll. So exactly what in the world is going on here? FULL ARTICLE=> Two

such measures are needed to battle illegal drug traffic, to catch tax

“Just after the news that “swine flu” is no longer a global threat, it’s time
to roll up our sleeves for another shot.” While this article may ignore the countless studies and
incidents reported around the world of severe and sometimes deadly side
effects of the vaccine, it also ignores the heart of people’s concerns. Australia banned the vaccine after children suffered
serious side-effects, Finland suspended swine flu shots after they were linked

The event destroyed American liberty, the rule of law and the US
Constitution. Chuck Norris is no pinko-liberal-commie, and Human Events is a
very conservative publication. The two have come together to produce an
important article, “Obama’s
US Assassination Program.” It seems only yesterday that Americans, or those interested in
their civil liberties, were shocked that the Bush regime so flagrantly
violated the FlSA law against spying on American citizens without a warrant.
A federal judge serving on the FISA court even resigned in protest to the
illegality of the spying. Nothing was done about it. “National security” placed the
president and executive branch above the law of the land. Civil libertarians
worried that the US government was freeing its power from the constraints of
law, but no one else seemed to care. Encouraged by its success in breaking the law, the executive
branch early this year announced that the Obama regime has given itself the
right to murder Americans abroad if such Americans are considered a “threat.”
“Threat” was not defined and, thus, a death sentence would be issued by a

Sotomayor, the balance between national security and free speech is “a
constant struggle in this society, between our security needs and our first
amendment rights, and one that has existed throughout our history.” Following the release of over 90,000 documents by Wikileaks in

protect and defend the Constitution of the United States." The U.S. Constitution does not call for members
of the U.S. Supreme Court to have sworn and oath as a condition for assuming
office. However, the U.S. Code does, viz, "I, [NAME], do solemnly swear (or
affirm) that I will administer justice without respect to persons, and do
equal right to the poor and to the rich, and that I will faithfully and
impartially discharge and perform all the duties incumbent upon me as [TITLE]
under the Constitution and laws of the United States. So help me God.'' So
it is not incumbent upon Judge Sotomayer to do “to
the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the
United States.". so, unless I am incorrectly interpreting both oaths, it is not incumbent
upon Judge Sotomayer to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the
United States and, of course, all of its amendments. Congress
shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the
free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press;
or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the
Government for a redress of grievances. Presumably so-called
defense secrets are exempt from First Amendment requirements. But what is to
be done in situations where the unapproved acquistion of documents and their
publication would have only the following effects: Embarrasment of public
officials or military officers; result in calls for Congressional investigation
of the behaviors and actions of said official; expose illegal and
unconstitutional behavior and actions assumed and taken by the President or
Vice-President, military personnel and on.
Who should be given the authority to block release of such informtion? The superiors of the persons whose
subordinates’ behaviors and actions could be called into question of the
courst of interntional law and civil law authorities? As Kurt Nimmo points
out in this news story, Sotomayor’s comment is a warning that the Supreme Court
may soon use the Wikileaks case to restrict the First Amendment. In the
United States, the corporate media did not report on her comments, with the

ARTICLE=> By U.S. Rep. Ron Paul. Foreign Policy, August 27, 2010 As one who is opposed
to centralization, I am wary of attempts to turn a grassroots movement
against big government like the Tea Party into an adjunct of the Republican
Party. I find it even more worrisome when I see those who willingly
participated in the most egregious excesses of the most recent Republican
Congress push their way into leadership roles of this movement without
batting an eye -- or changing their policies! As many frustrated
Americans who have joined the Tea Party realize, we cannot stand against big
government at home while supporting it abroad. We cannot talk about fiscal
responsibility while spending trillions on occupying and bullying the rest of
the world. We cannot talk about the budget deficit and spiraling domestic
spending without looking at the costs of maintaining an American empire of
more than 700 military bases in more than 120 foreign countries. We cannot
pat ourselves on the back for cutting a few thousand dollars from a nature
preserve or an inner-city swimming pool at home while turning a blind eye to
a Pentagon budget that nearly equals those of the rest of the world combined. FULL ARTICLE=> LC Editor’s Comment: Rep. Paul reminds us
that the Tea Party is not the Tea Party it started out to be several years
ago, that it was co-opted at the leadership level over a year ago by the
Glenn Beck and Sarah Palen Neo-Neocon crowd.
We already know the Ms. Palen is a supporter of the American War of Aggression
in Afghanistan, which now deserves to be called the American War of
Aggression in Afghanistan and Pakistan and All Points East. It’s hard for me to
tell about where Cameleon Prince Glenn Beck really stands for now or
has ever truly stood in the political arena Yes, I know that at times Beck comes across like the
passionate, genuine patriot Alex Jones himself, launching tirades against
government corruption and criminality.
But scrape away that
verneer and we’d likely find --- just as with Babes, Guns and War poster
child --- pure Rupert Murdock. This
makes sense, of course, because both Glenn and Sarah are employees of the Fox
News Channel, which is owned by News Corp. In turn, the latter is owned by Bilderberg
attendee, CFR
member and New World Order acolyte Rupert Murdock. Surprise! Surprise!
The globalists are everywhere, even at times setting the pace of and
direction for the Tea Party! Good work, Dr. Paul,
in telling the American people how the cow ate the cabbage. Now perhaps fewer
Americans disgusted with the same-ol’, same-ol’ Republican-Democrat one party
system will be prone to join and financially support the Tea Party believing
in error that this new kid on the block as presently constituted intends to
support candidates for office who if elected are committed to fostering the
growth of a new American foreign policy, one centered on U.S.
non-intervention in the internal affairs of other nations. Thank you, Dr. Paul. Burn,

American people were starting to become distracted with trivial issues like
the potential stock market crash, the re-branding of the war in Iraq, and the

Elites Have Lost The Right to Rule By Michael Kreiger, Zero Hedge, August
28, 2010 Let me take you back to the fall of
1999. I was a senior in college without a clue what I wanted to do with
my life. Wall Street was in a boom and seemed exciting. I had
always loved the financial markets since I had first discovered them years
earlier; however, I wasn’t convinced this was the profession I wanted.
I had majored in Economics at school for practical purposes but I found
almost all of the courses to be extraordinarily uninspiring with the
exception of a few like Corporate Finance and the Economic History of
China. It was the general micro and macro economics courses that I
found the most painful to sit through. I wasn’t alone in this
assessment. Many of my close friends were Economics majors as well and
we all felt the same way (I later found out this was because we were being
indoctrinated in voodoo Keynesian economics). So even with the Economics
degree I wasn’t sure that I wanted to pursue a career in finance given the
fact that I found myself more interested in subjects such as English , History
and Philosophy. Nevertheless, the firms were hiring, I had the degree
and it would allow me to move back to New York City without living at home. FULL ARTICLE-=> Invisible Empire: A New World

CLIPS=> Twin Tower Deception and Demolition Two-Part Video By Chris
Brown, June
2007 Christopher A. Brown presents his detailed engineering
explanation of the mechanisms at work in the progressive disintegration and
fall of Towers 1 and Tower 2 of the World Trade Center on September 11,
2001. The video consists of two
parts. Here are the two links to the
streaming video feed: Part I, Part II.
Although the press and even some engineers commonly refer to the
fall of the towers as collapses, which would imply that the floors of
the two buildings pancaked down upon one another in these two events, these
were not collapses in an engineering sense. That is, the floors did not
progressively pancake upon one
other, the free fall of each floor that broken away from its support members
terminating with its crashing into the intact floor beneath it, causing the
latter to break from its structural support members, and so on. Had the towers come down in this way, the
end result would have been pancake-like stacking of damaged, partially crush
floors at the base each building. But that’s now what happened to the Towers 1 and 2. Instead, as
can been seen in the press videos of Tower 2 as it came down on that day, the
floors, beginning at the level of impact of the airplanes that rammed into
each tower that day, progressively, one-by-one, disintegrated, with the
horizontal band of disintegration moving downward at free-fall speed until it
reached street level. Left in each case in the footprint of each tower was a pile of
rubble that included the contents of intact building as well as its
construction material, chiefly steel beams, crushed, finely divided concrete
chips and also pulverized concrete.
Much of the pulverize concrete became airborne immediately, creating
thick clouds of concrete dust that quickly enveloped the base of each tower
and then, hugging the ground, expanded to cover the World Trade Center
grounds and neighboring downtown New York areas. In his videos Brown shows the progressive disintegration of the
towers and discusses in great detail all aspects of the disintegrations. Then he presents the viewer with a
compelling, all-inclusive model that accounts for all aspects of the
disintegrations of the towers and the presence of the associated, documented
physical evidence. Dr. Ron Larsen, an
applied physicist, materials scientist and materials engineer, discusses
Brown’s model in the article and its significance in following this article. Chris Brown is an independent professional land surveyor. He has
also worked as a welder and a driller on blasting teams. Chris is skilled in virtually all aspects
of building construction and has worked as a heavy equipment operator. Here is the link to his
website. Chris Brown’s
Demolition Model for the Twin Towers – Why This Model? By Dr. Ron Larsen, PhD, LibertyCalling.com, June 2007 What makes it unique and so powerful? On a moment-by-moment basis the model
accounts for the appearance of each and every major piece of physical
evidence as each tower undergoes explosive disintegration, its band of
disintegrated material falling to earth at free-fall speed. Without the need to assume that the perpetrators used
micro nukes or directed energy beams sent from space satellites, Chris is
able to account for (1) the massive amounts of gravel found at ground zero;
(2) the fine powdering of the Towers’ interiors (3) the heaving upward and
outward of 20 ton steel beams; (4) the transformation of bodies into chips of
bone that appeared on the roof of a nearby building; (5) the clean buzz-saw
like straight (not angled) cross-cutting of hundreds of steel box columns,
which were found in the debris field; (6) the appearance of reinforced steel
concrete core material, even though the buildings were said to have all-steel
construction; and much more. Learn the details by viewing Chris Brown’s film, ‘Twin
Tower Deception and Demolition’ at Google Video. Here are the links: Part I, Part II.

apparent need for U.S. troops and private contractors to remain in Iraq in
order to handle the step up of violence there as manifested by the recent

machine, including their highly paid mercenary soldiers; suppliers of
logistics and maintenance forces needed to support war and policing
operations there; suppliers of ammunitions, combat boots and helmets and
clothing; manufacturers of combat helicopters and jet fighter bombers; the
international bankers who finance these manufacturing and support operations;
and the members of Congress who receive perks from the thousands of companies
that supply military operations in the Middle East, including those in Iraq;
and Iraqi politicians paid off by the U.S. – Brit war machine to keep
stirring up violence in that beleaguered nation? Or would it be the Iraqi equivalent of
American soccer moms and Joe six-packers of that torn up and trashed nation,
Mr. and Mrs. Average Iraqi? Remember that it’s the death and
injury of these Iraqis and their pet dogs and cats and the demolishing of the
homes of these people American government officials refer to as unavoidable
consequences of the war there; that is as “collateral damage”. No doubt tens of millions of American
TV news show watchers have already been beguiled by the talking heads at Fox
News, MSNBC and CNN into thinking that Iraqi government officials
surreptitiously ordered the bombings in Iraq. Clearly the bombings have the earmarks
of classic false flag operations. But before these TV news buffs begin
smearing Iraqi government officials, asserting that they were responsible for
ordering these operations behind the bombings, they should read USMC Major
General Smedley Darlington Butler’s classic treatise on war profiteering, War
is a Racket. In so doing they will learn what war
and preparations for war between wars are really all about, who benefits in
both instances and so who stands to benefit by far the more from the recent

$868 billion. According to the US authorities, this
means that Chinese holdings of US government paper are now at the lowest
level in the past year. A 2% to 3% decline in a month does not qualify as
massive dumping, but simply means that China is in the process of
diversification. It is also very likely that China has more U.S. Treasury

secret-spilling website won’t be cowed by Pentagon threats, nor derailed by
the Swedish legal problem now circling its leader. The memo, classified Secret, asks, “What

February 2, 2010, it was produced by the CIA’s “Red Cell,” a brainstorming
team established in the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks to provide an
“alternative viewpoint” in the intelligence community. The release is the second CIA Red Cell

Secret memo analyzing possible PR strategies to shore up public support
in Europe for the war in Afghanistan. The new leak is less

American foreign relations would suffer if the United States started being

perfectly legal in nine states for the government to attach secret satellite
tracking devices to your car and monitor you wherever you go, without a
search warrant. As if that wasn’t bad enough, the
report also details how The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit,
which made the ruling, essentially suggests that privacy should be reserved
for rich people only. The law, which now applies in
California and eight other Western states, stems from a case beginning in
2007 when federal agents of the DEA covertly attached a GPS tracking device
to the vehicle of an Oregon man they suspected of growing marijuana. FULL ARTICLE=> Finland
Suspends Swine Flu Shots After Vaccine Linked With Neurological Disorder By Paul Joseph Watson, Infowars.com,
August 25, 2010 Finland’s National Institute for Health
and Welfare (THL) has suspended the use of the H1N1 vaccine over fears that
the shot is linked with a 300 per cent increase in cases of the neurological
disorder narcolepsy among children and young people over the last six
months. The news is sure to discourage more
parents from vaccinating their children in the coming months, with the swine
flu shot now being combined with the regular seasonal flu jab. A
recent Rasmussen poll found that 52 per cent of Americans were concerned
about the safety of vaccines as we approach the start of school and
college terms, where many children and teenagers will be “required” to take
shots before they can attend. FULL

government claims that it does not spy on the United States are intended for

agencies target the United States intensively, particularly in pursuit of
military and dual-use civilian technology. Among
nations considered to be friendly to Washington, Israel leads all others in
its active espionage directed against American companies and the Defense
Department. It also dominates two commercial sectors that enable it to extend
its reach inside America’s domestic infrastructure: airline and
telecommunications security. Israel

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 own security and that of many of its
allies in order to advance the interests of another state? One might assume that the bond between the two countries was
based on shared strategic interests or compelling moral imperatives, but
neither explanation can account for the remarkable level of material and
diplomatic support that the US provides.

around. The national government — specifically the
executive branch — can do pretty much what it wants. It could bomb Iran
tomorrow without a declaration of war from Congress. It can — and does —
conduct secret wars and covert operations against countries that have done
nothing to us. Of course, they are secret only to the ignorant taxpayers who
must finance them and perhaps suffer when the provoked retaliation occurs. It
can have men behind PlayStation consoles in Nevada fire Hellfire missiles
from aerial drones on people in Pakistan, Yemen, and elsewhere. This tyrannical government can send any foreigner
picked up anywhere in the world to third countries known for torturing
prisoners. It can hold people accused of nothing indefinitely in prisons in
Cuba and Afghanistan and torture them into making false confessions. It can
conduct a war crimes trial in a military kangaroo court for a man, Omar
Khadr, held captive for eight years after he was picked up at the age of
15 during a U.S. assault on villagers near Kabul. His torture-induced
“confessions” will be admissible. All this is in violation of commitments

young, bright but starving kid living in what used to be a nice neighborhood
across the Potomac River and in sight of “King Brack’s White Castle”, as he
calls it. He’d read this
articles a couple of days ago, when it was published. He writes, Dear Mr. Editor, Man, these rich kids have nice
toys. Doesn’t matter much that we
kids and moms and dads are living smack-dab in the middle of the worst, most
rip-roaring, damned near full bloody depression even my grand parents every
heard of. The politicians spend money
like drunken sailors. My uncle was a drunken and then he got
sober by drinking down a glass of sauerkraut just three times a day. Maybe that foreign President we have ought
to do that, and the members of Congress too. Maybe they’d stop buy space
rockets to go to war with and maybe they’d even bring my dad and uncle back
from Iraq and places like that, where they tell me they have to shoot people
– men, women, kids there – so they don’t come over here and kill us all. Dad and Uncle Jerry had great jobs
only five years ago. I can still
remember. We had a nice car and ate roast chicken and pizza and beefsteak and
corn and pineapple upside-down cake all the time. Then dad’s bicycle shop went out of business. He told my mom that is was something about
crooked bankers working together in cahoots (what ever that is) with the
politicians in Congress in the White Castle and ripping off the American
people, like mom and dad and us kids.
Uncle Jerry managed my dad’s business
so he was out of a job too. They couldn’t get any kind of jobs. It was bad. Dad had to sell our nice car and his golf clubs and bowling
ball and my bicycle and baseball bat just to get money to buy even beans and
rice to eat. We even started to
scrounge in dumpsters for garbage to eat. Pee-ooo! That’s still my job. Not enough money to live was why dad and
Uncle Jerry joined the Army and had to kill people to keep their jobs in the
Army and get paid. And now I read about more billions of
dollars just going to make space war machines. For what? I’m mad and I miss riding my bike and playing
baseball. I miss my dad and Uncle Jerry too.
A fancy looking lady who said she was a case worker from social
services stopped by in her fancy Mercedes the other day. She asked us if we had enough meat and
vegetables and fruit and good bread to eat, and we said, NO! Then she said to me, “My dear, I know
meat and vegetables are very dear in cost.
But you need bread, too! But
if you don’t even have bread to eat, I will get something better for
you. I will make sure to bring you
some nice white cake with frosting on it for you and your sister and mother
the next time I visit. Wouldn’t that be wonderful? Aren’t you happy now?” All I have to say, Mr. Editor, is

Yes, I did indeed get a rush of déjà-vu as I listened to Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow solemnly
describe "the end" of the "combat mission" in Iraq, and
Richard Engel pontificate as the cameras zoomed in
on the "last" convoy over the border to Kuwait. Occasionally,
however, reality would intrude, as Rachel noted the broadcast could be
interrupted at any time by a sudden attack, and there would be no time to
explain to viewers what was happening. It was Olbermann who openly referred
to Bush’s "Mission Accomplished" moment, and
wondered if perhaps this wasn’t a re-run: I’ll bet he got in plenty of
trouble for that little crack. As Engel interviewed a couple of disinterested
looking grunts about their innermost thoughts at "this historic

ARTICLE=> LC Editor’s Comment: For many young
American’s, persons born after 1960, the possibility of our government
colluding with big business to create a monopoly for a few companies may seem
unlikely now. However, this is
exactly what happened in the early days of radio (a.k.a. pictureless
TV). The earliest radio stations and
were unlicensed the U.S. Government.
Their owners made their own rules, created their own call signs,
selected their own operating frequencies and broadcasted when they want to
broadcast, and those broadcasting schedules were completely flexible. That all changed soon after the U.S. Department of Commerce
began licensing AM radio broadcasting stations around the year 1920 and made
it unlawful for unlicensed individuals and companies to broadcast. The agency
also established the laws under which owners of commercial radio stations
were allowed to operate, assigned station call letters and assigned operating
frequencies to these stations. It
also determined which applicants for licenses would be licensed. Within a few years major corporations become the dominant owners
of radio broadcasting stations. The
number of licenses the government awarded had a limit, largely because the
size of radio broadcasting bands had bounds and there was a need to provide
adequate channel width and separation to prevent bleed over of broadcast
signals between stations located on adjacent channels. This lead to bidding up of the cost to buy
radio stations from sellers. Soon the little guy was priced and legislated out of
broadcasting. The era of
inventor-operator commercial radio broadcasters had ended and corporations
that owned radio stations in effect owned the air. This could well be the future of the Internet as the peoples’
chief communications medium unless the people decide that they have had
enough of government-corporation collusion with regard to the use of the
Internet and take firm corrective action to prevent corporate takeover of
this vital communication medium. Bombshell:

adults on a regumin of cholesterol reducing drug and keep them there,

Docs and pharmaceutical company executives have grown used to driving
new Ferraris each year and they intend to sustain that expensive habit. Both business sectors would have their
customrs – pill-popping consumers world-wide believe that elevated levels of
cholesterol increase the odds of incompacitation or death through coronary
disease. So, the argument goes, it
would be wise to reduce patients’ blood cholesteral levels if they are
excessive and do it quickly, that is today, if not sooner. The suggested

Mandatory Service Bill and the Impending Attack On Iran By
Kurt Nimmo, Infowars.com, August 1, 2010 Despite the fact there is no evidence of an
Iranian nuclear weapons program and no indication Iran plans to attack
Israel, let alone the absurd notion it will attack the United States, Israel
and the United States are preparing to attack Iran. The claim Iran plans to
attack the United States is ironically reminiscent of the neocon accusation
that Saddam Hussein planned to attack the U.S., one of several obvious
falsehoods used as an excuse to invade. Rep.
Charles Rangel may be in trouble because he is your standard corrupt district
of criminals opportunist, but that has not killed his mandatory slavery bill.
On July 15, Rangel introduced H.R. 5741, the Universal National
Service Act, and it was referred to the House Armed Services Subcommittee on
Military Personnel on July 23. Even though the bill does not have
co-sponsors, it is currently under debate. “I
have introduced legislation to reinstate the draft and to make it permanent
during time of war. It is H.R. 5741, and what this does is to make everyone
between the ages of 18 and 42 – whether they’re men or women, whether they’re
straight or gay – to have the opportunity to defend this great country
whenever the president truly believes that our national security is
threatened,” Rangel said from the floor of the House. FULL ARTICLE=> http://www.infowars.com/the-mandatory-serviece-bill-and-the-impending-attack-on-iran

Articles Containing Material Relevant to this News Story: 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 own security and that of many of its
allies in order to advance the interests of another state? One might assume
that the bond between the two countries was based on shared strategic
interests or compelling moral imperatives, but neither explanation can
account for the remarkable level of material and diplomatic support that the
US provides. FULL ARTICLE=> http://www.lrb.co.uk/v28/n06/john-mearsheimer/the-israel-lobby
From identity theft to war crimes – is there
anything the Israelis won't do? By Jason Raimondo, Antiwar.com, February 19, 2010 When is the world going to finally
decide Israel has gone too far – and do something about it? When Israel invaded and retained the occupied
territories, imposing a regime that resembles the old South African apartheid system, the world looked the
other way – after all, beleaguered Israel was fighting for its survival, and,
besides that, peace talks were underway. The daily grinding down of the
Palestinians could be accepted as a temporary and even necessary evil as long
as there was some sort of vague expiration date attached to the arrangement. FULL ARTICLE=> By Donald Neff, Washington Report on Middle East Affairs, May/June 2005 Prior to the Nixon administration, the
United States had never employed its veto power in the U.N. Security Council.
It was first used March 17, 1970 over Southern Rhodesia. The second U.S. veto
came two years later, when Washington sought to protect Israel from a
resolution condemning Israel for one of its attacks on its neighbors. Since
then, the United States has cast its veto a total of 39 times to shield
Israel from Security Council draft resolutions that condemned, deplored,
denounced, demanded, affirmed, endorsed, called on and urged Israel to obey
the world body. NOTE: List of 39 specific vetoes cast by the U.S. to
shut off Security Council discussion of draft resolutions concerning
activities of state of Israel and preclude any further action regarding the
same. (Notice that his article was
written in 2005, five years ago.
Readers who look into the history of vetoes lodged on behalf of Israel
by the United States should reasonably expect to find substantially more
pro-Israel vetoes lodged on behalf of Israel by the United States listed on y
than presented in this article.- LC Editor, August 1, 2010). 1.

Jewish Lobby By Mark
Weber, Institute for Historical Review For
many years Israel has violated well established precepts of international law
and has defied numerous United Nations resolutions in its occupation of
conquered lands, in extra-judicial killings, and in its repeated acts of
military aggression. Most
of the world regards Israel’s policies, and especially its oppression of Palestinians,
as illegal and outrageous. This international consensus is reflected, for
example, in numerous UN resolutions condemning Israel, which have been
approved with overwhelming majorities.
“The whole world,“ said United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan,
“is demanding that Israel withdraw [from occupied Palestinian territories]. I
don’t think the whole world... can be wrong.” Only
in the United States do politicians and the media still fervently support
Israel and defend its policies. For many years the US has provided Israel
with crucial military, diplomatic and financial backing, including more than
$3 billion each year in aid. Why
is the US such a staunch bastion of support for Israel? FULL ARTICLE=> oppppppppppppppp |
