    CIA reveals: We said in 1974 that Israel had nuclear weapons
    Last update - 02:28 11/01/2008 By Amir Oren
    The Central Intelligence Agency, backed by bodies including the State Department’s Bureau of Intelligence and Research and the Defense Intelligence Agency, determined in August 1974 that Israel had nuclear "weapons in being," a "small number" of which it "produced and stockpiled."
    Israel was also suspected of providing nuclear materials, equipment or technology to Iran, South (…)

    By Patrick Rial and Satoshi Kawano
    Jan. 10 (Bloomberg) — Japanese stocks fell after Goldman Sachs Group Inc. said the domestic economy and that of the U.S., the world’s two largest, may be headed for recession, sparking concern company earnings will falter.

  • Rice got Bhutto Killed
    8 January 2008 par (Open-Publishing)

    Bhutto had no business being in Pakistan but for Rice. Rare indeed does a government policy end in so spectacular a failure as having the bloody brains blown out of a former and potentially future head of state before millions of onlookers. It was in the name of the State Department’s "Freedom and Democracy" agenda that Rice first conceived of the purely cosmetic notion of having the telegenic and politically pliable Bhutto pose as the duly elected spokesmodel, for what was to remain a (…)

  • PAKISTAN: Bhutto’s Assassination: Who Gains? by F. William Engdahl
    7 January 2008 par (Open-Publishing)

    Assassination of prominent political leaders, presumably protected by the best security, is no easy thing. It requires agencies of professional intelligence training to insure that the job is done and that no person is caught alive who can lead to those behind. Typically, from the assassination of Archduke Francis Ferdinand in Sarajevo in July 1914 to JFK, the person pulling the trigger is just an instrument of a far deeper conspiracy. So too in the assassination on December 27th, of (…)

  • U.S. law firms could help shape Afghanistan’s future — for price
    6 January 2008 par (Open-Publishing)

    Law firms that contribute money to the U.S. effort towards an effective and transparent justice system in Afghanistan will be given a say in the carrying out of those policies. Bigger contributors will have more involvement, including the opportunity to go on official trips to Afghanistan. Donations by law firms will be tax deductible, but they can’t earmark donations for specific uses. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice says the plan is "essential to the country’s success" in combating (…)

  • Vengeance, Blackwater Style: US and Western Mainstream Media try to conceal War Crimes in Fallujah
    4 January 2008 par (Open-Publishing)

    Every time I read a story published in Western mainstream media about what transpired in Fallujah in 2004 during two US assaults on the city I feel sick.
    The evidence proving that the United States committed war crimes, slaughtering innocent men, women and children is irrefutable. The US military’s use of chemical weapons is irrefutable. The destruction of a city amounting to collective punishment is irrefutable. All of this occurred because four Blackwater mercenaries were killed by (…)

    ...a veritable industry was built around parsing the literal fallout if deterrence should fail. Indeed, it was Herman Kahn, who founded the Hudson Institute, who in 1965 wrote the book On Escalation, which included an escalation ladder, whose final and 44th step was "spasm or insensate war". In a somewhat similar spirit, a recently released briefing has been making waves. The briefing is turning heads because it was written by Anthony Cordesman, who was a former director of intelligence (…)

  • Anglo-American Ambitions behind the Assassination of Benazir Bhutto and Destabilization of Pakiskan
    29 December 2007 par (Open-Publishing)

    By Larry CHIN
    It has been known for months that the Bush-Cheney administration and its allies have been maneuvering to strengthen their political control over Pakistan, paving the way for the expansion and deepening of the “war on terrorism” across the region. The assassination of Benazir Bhutto does not change this agenda. In fact, it simplifies Bush-Cheney’s options.
