    June 13, 2005
    Ray McGovern is a co-founder of the Truth Telling Coalition and of Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity. He had a 27-year career as a CIA analyst, and now works for Tell the Word, the publishing arm of the ecumenical Church of the Saviour in Washington, DC.
    Yesterday, London’s Sunday Times published the text of another SECRET UK EYES ONLY breifing document prepared for senior British officials. This one was dated July 21, 2002, two days before British intelligence (…)

    Later today RawStory.com will be posting an article that they have been researching for several days. Six new secret British documents have been leaked and made widely available on the internet, including via the links below. These were retyped from the originals to protect the source, but RawStory.com has verified the authenticity and will be reporting on that research, on the significance of the documents, and on the timeline of the events illuminated by this information, known to the (…)

    Article II, Section 4 of the United States Constitution: "The President, Vice President, and all civil officers of the United States shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors."
    It is becoming more evident that an impeachment inquiry is needed to determine whether the United States was plunged into war with Iraq based on manipulated intelligence and false information. Thus far the President and Vice President (…)

  • USA is losing patience on Iraq:"We have reached a tipping point,"

    Nearly six in 10 Americans say the United States should withdraw some or all of its troops from Iraq, a new Gallup Poll finds, the most downbeat view of the war since it began in 2003. Bush says progress has been made in fighting the insurgency, but a timetable for reducing the deployment of nearly 140,000 U.S. troops has yet to be made.
    Patience for the war has dropped sharply as optimism about the Iraqi elections in January has ebbed and violence against U.S. troops hasn’t abated. For (…)

    Let’s consider an item from the news of about two weeks ago:
    A British citizen leaked a memo to London’s Sunday Times. The memo was of the written account of a meeting that a man named Richard Dearlove had with the Bush administration in July 2002. Dearlove was the head of the England’s MI-6, the equivalent of the CIA. On July 23, 2002, Dearlove briefed Tony Blair about the meeting. He said that Bush was determined to attack Iraq. He said that Bush knew that U.S. intelligence had no (…)

  • End the charade
    14 June 2005 par (Open-Publishing)

    The cognitive dissonance required to believe the Bush administration is approaching critical mass. Some semblance of victory in the War on Method has been declared at least four times that I recall, and yet American troops are still being murdered on a weekly basis in free and democratic Iraq.
    The armed forces are now reduced to lying about who killed its poster boys, putting its own troops on trial and revising its recruitment targets to disguise the fact that no amount of media (…)

    Spiking the Story Exclusive
    U.S. intelligence infiltrated corp. media will be launching a coverup distraction campaign.
    You will be subjected to days(maybe weeks) of excruciatingly painful psychological warfare to confuse, distract, and misdirect you from George Bush’s lies and the Downing Street Memo/Minutes.
    You heard it here first, conserve your ammo. The more you watch, the less you know.
    Don’t shoot until you see the whites of their lies!

    Here’s a video that was put together by the Downing Street Memo folks.

    "It’s tempting in the flurry of minutes and memos and articles to get so wrapped up in the story that you forget exactly who the story is about. It’s not about impeaching the President. It’s not about Republicans and Democrats. It has, and always will be, about them. About those heroes who sacrificed and trusted their government. About those with brave hearts who cannot speak now from the grave. (…)

    Military action won’t end insurgency, growing number of U.S. officers believe
    BY TOM LASSETER
    Knight Ridder Newspapers
    BAGHDAD, Iraq - (KRT) - A growing number of senior American military officers in Iraq have concluded that there is no long-term military solution to an insurgency that has killed thousands of Iraqis and more than 1,300 U.S. troops during the past two years.
    Instead, officers say, the only way to end the guerilla war is through Iraqi politics - an arena that so far (…)

    "All war is based on deception." Sun Tzu, The Art of War
    There is nothing new in a government lying to their people to start a war. Indeed because most people prefer living in peace to bloody and horrific death in war, any government that desires to initiate a war usually lies to their people to create the illusion that support for the war is the only possible choice they can make.
