"The truth is, there is no
Islamic army or terrorist group called Al Qaida. And any informed
intelligence officer knows this. But there is a propaganda campaign to make
the public believe in the presence of an identified entity representing the
'devil' only in order to drive the TV watcher to accept a unified
international leadership for a war against terrorism. The country behind
this propaganda is the US ..."
-- Former British Foreign Secretary Robin Cook

' ... every war when it comes, or before it comes, is
represented not as a war but as an act of self-defence against a homicidal
maniac ... The essential job is to get people to recognise war propaganda
when they see it, especially when it is disguised as peace propaganda.'
-- George Orwell

ONE OF THE MAJOR REASONS
FOR THE IRAQI WAR:
"A very good friend of the
Bush family, a very close friend of the Bush family, (and I'm working with
at lest one or two friends or advisors to every living president right now.)
Now this man told me in February of '03, listen very carefully - in February
of '03 -- that we would find no weapons of mass destruction, that we had to
go in there and free up the second largest proven oil reserve in the world
because with China industrializing at ten to fifteen percent a year, and
with India industrializing at close to that, there was simply not enough
fossil fuel to go around and we were headed toward a catastrophic shortage
within the next two to ten years if we didn't maximize the output of these
oil producing areas and that this is totally what we were going into Iraq
for.
Now, I almost laughed out loud
because here's a guy who's a close associate of the Bush family telling me
this personally. And it has turned out to be the case. There are no weapons
of mass destruction, there was no Al Qaeda presence in Iraq. This was
totally about, and I don't care how anyone wants to spin it, we have got to
- and from their point of view, if you want to keep these other technologies
secret, and you're looking at a world industrializing as rapidly as China
and other countries are, you have got to find other sources of fossil fuel,
and that's what this was about. Yet it's so tragic because we're sitting in
another parallel program in these black boxes, the means to take us
completely off the fossil fuel economy, and this is one of the greatest
crimes against humanity in the history of the human race.

A salute
to those U.S. soldiers who deserted and found their way to Canada. Those
young men, who refused combat in the Iraq War, not because of cowardice
but from conscience, were a pleasure to hear out on "60 Minutes" on
December 9, 2004. They are the future of our Nation and a model for a
new, peaceful world; they who realized that they could not blindly
follow order in an illegal war.
Shame on
those citizens of America, who in their blindness and ignorance demand
that the Canadian government sends the deserters back to US so they can
be shot under American law!

Robbing the Cradle of Civilization

The Invasion of Iraq: Dollar vs.
Euro
Re-denominating Iraqi oil in U. S. dollars, instead of the Euro
[Before the U.S. invasion of Iraq Saddam Hussein changed the oil purchase
currency from Dollars to Euro. This seriously threatened the U.S. oil
industry, and was a major reason to attack Iraq at that point. Thus,
thousands and thousands of innocent people and lots of soldiers have died.]
- If OPEC oil could be sold in other currencies, e.g. the euro, then U.S.
economic dominance-dollar imperialism or hegemony-would be seriously
challenged. More and more oil importing countries would acquire the euro as
their "reserve," its value would increase, and a larger amount of trade
would be transacted and denominated in euros. In such circumstances, the
value of the dollar would most likely go down, some speculate between 20-40
percent. -

A Young Marine Speaks Out
- I'm sick and tired of this patriotic,

service today for a young Marine that was killed in Iraq back in
April. During this memorial a number of people spoke about the

'sacrificing' your life for a war which is not only illegal, but
is being prosecuted to the extent where the only thing keeping
us there is one man's power, and his ego. -

Blackwater: Knights of Malta in Iraq
- Backwater is more than just a “private army”, much more than
just another capitalist war-profiteering business operation. It
is an army operating outside all laws, outside and above the US
Constitution and yet is controlled by people within and outside
our government whose allegiance is primarily to the foreign
Vatican state. In other words, Blackwater is a religious army
serving the Pope in Rome through the Order of Malta, which is
itself considered under international law, as a sovereign entity
with special diplomatic powers and privileges. Like Blackwater,
the Order of Malta is “untouchable” because it is at the heart
of the elite aristocracy.

by Bush's comments last week that "the fallen soldiers died for a

people elsewhere in the world as well, if you will), don't have to read
"Conspiracy sites" to get enlightened in this matter. -

elections would fatally undermine the rebel cause, remains clueless as
to the composition of this virulent enemy. -
