    And... it was the CIA whores in the Middle East that gave us "Freedom Fighters," er, al Qaeda and Osama bin Laden...
    Wait, wait, don’t tell me - Who are these forces around Osama bin Laden that the U.S. government has accused? Where did they come from? Who trained and organized them?
    The answers to these questions lead back to the CIA—back to major crimes, campaigns and global rivalries of U.S. corporations.
    Osama bin Laden first appeared on the stage 20 years ago as a major recruiter (…)

    Reminder to the crusading Armageddonists ..... “Thou shalt not kill.” Exodus 20: 13
    They are at it again. Remember when Milosovic was labelled “the butcher of Belgrade”, the new Hitler? Then Saddam Hussein was “the butcher of Bagdad” and, of course the most dangerous man since Hitler - with weapons of mass destruction which could be unleashed on the world “in forty five minutes”.
    Colin Powell lied to the U.N., about the danger Iraq posed to the planet; George (…)
