  • STOP THE WAR ON IRAN BEFORE IT STARTS!

    President Bush, Vice President Cheney, Secretary Rice, Secretary Rumsfeld, Secretary General Annan, Senators and Representatives,
    It is with grave concern that I observe the growing threat of a new U.S. war—this time against the people of Iran.
    The media is filled with reports of an alleged nuclear threat posed by Iran and the assumed need for the U.S. to take military action. These reports recall the "Weapons of Mass Destruction" stories issued in the months leading up to the war on (…)

    American Heroin
    It oftentimes boggles the mind to try and understand the ease with which the Establishment can manipulate the American citizenry into another warmongering escapade, this time an ominous foray into the Persian lands of Iran, a nation rich in history, culture, location and most importantly to the Evil Empire, oil and gas. Yet upon further inspection it is easy to comprehend this phenomenon, for we live, as Gore Vidal has (…)

    By Matthew Moore
    MORE photographs have been leaked of Iraqi citizens tortured by US soldiers at the notorious Abu Ghraib prison on the outskirts of Baghdad.
    Tonight the SBS Dateline program plans to broadcast about 60 previously unpublished photographs that the US Government has been fighting to keep secret in a court case with the American Civil Liberties Union.
    Although a US judge last year granted the union access to the photographs following a freedom-of-information request, the US (…)

    From time to time, the soul of some justice and kind people stands up to show to the world the extent of abuses done by the invading forces in Iraq. While the whole world is astonished by such photos or videos, the British and USA governments take the opportunity to show to the world that they are sincere to the Iraqis and thus they call for investigation and will send the accused persons to a trial. Then after lengthy maneuvering, the court will end up with minor sentences that are too (…)

    Fifteen years ago, and exactly on 13 Feb. 1991, USA air forces bombed civilian shelter in Baghdad. The shelter was used to give peaceful place for children, women and elderly people in Al-Aameria district in Baghdad during the 1991 war against Iraq. The bombing was deliberate since, two special rockets were used; one made an opening in the reinforced concrete ceiling while the other penetrated through to give huge amount of fire into the shelter. The results was the brutal killing of about (…)

    Cincinnati, OH - Paul Hackett released the following statement today to his friends and supporters regarding his withdrawal from the campaign for U.S. Senate in Ohio.
    Today I am announcing that I am withdrawing from the race for United States Senate. I made this decision reluctantly, only after repeated requests by party leaders, as well as behind the scenes machinations, that were intended to hurt my campaign.
    But there was no quid pro quo. I will not be running in the Second (…)

    Democrats Can’t Hackett
    Maybe Dick Cheney can’t shoot straight, but at least he didn’t shoot himself in the face. Sadly, you can’t say the same for the leadership of the Democratic party.
    Chuck Schumer, Harry Reid and Rahm Emanuel have not only strong-armed Iraq War vet Paul Hackett out of the Ohio senate race, but out of politics altogether.
    And for what? To give Eagle Scout Sherrod Brown a clear shot at the Senate?!
    Yes. OK. A messy primary is less than ideal as a precursor to a (…)

    Iran Attack: Turning America into a Straussian Totalitarian State Monday February 13th 2006
    In the weeks before the Straussian neocons invaded Iraq, we were told only a few thousand Iraqis, at most, would die in the initial onslaught. Of course, thanks to the Pentagon, uninterested in body counts, we do not have a good idea of how many Iraqis died in the initial assault, and to make matters worse, “Iraq’s Health Ministry ... ordered a halt to a count of civilians killed during the war and (…)

  • Iraq deaths - how PC racist Australian lying, spin & oil-for-food kickbacks killed Iraqi kids
    14 February 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    The UN Volker Report (2005) has disclosed that the monopoly Australian Wheat Board (AWB) was responsible for kickbacks totalling US$225 million out of an estimated US$1.8 billion of illicit payments to Saddam Hussein’s régime during the UN Oil For Food program in 1999-2003. The kickback mechanism involved excessive trucking fees paid to a Jordanian company half-owned by the Iraqi Government. The Australian Government has repeatedly said "we knew nothing" but expert whistleblowers have said (…)
