’Bird Flu’: From psyOP and population control to "WW4" Notes compiled by ewing2001 October 22, 2005
During 2004, on my old blog at 911skeptics.blogspot.com and in many online e-mail correspondences, i pointed out on the possibility, how to stage the easiest bogus pretext for "WW4" (WW4 is a definition labelled by neocons Eliot Cohen, Norman Podhoretz and James Woolsey. They personally skipped "WW3", which was in their mind already the Cold War):
...A fake Al-Quaeda terror cell in taiwan (…)

Young French rioters are using blogs to incite violence and mobile phones to organise attacks in guerrilla-like tactics they have copied from anti-globalisation protesters, security experts say.
So the government is policing cyberspace as well as rundown suburbs in the battle to end two weeks of rioting.
Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin has diverted resources to monitoring blogs to anticipate the movements of the protesters, who have set fire to thousands of cars since the unrest (…)

The destruction of Falluja was an act of barbarism that ranks alongside My Lai, Guernica and Halabja
Mike Marqusee Thursday November 10, 2005 The Guardian http://tinyurl.com/dzkwm
One year ago this week, US-led occupying forces launched a devastating assault on the Iraqi city of Falluja. The mood was set by Lt Col Gary Brandl: "The enemy has got a face. He’s called Satan. He’s in Falluja. And we’re going to destroy him."
The assault was preceded by eight weeks of aerial bombardment. (…)

I’ll just bet J. Edgar Hoover would be so envious with all of this high tech ability at our leader’s finger tips!! To snoop in anyone’s life THEY (Big Brother) desires.

White House keeps dossiers on more than 10,000 ’political enemies’
By DOUG THOMPSON
Spurred by paranoia and aided by the USA Patriot Act, the Bush Administration has compiled dossiers on more than 10,000 Americans it considers political enemies and uses those files to wage war on those who disagree with (…)

OUR ARROGANT LEADER
By Peter Fredson
November 9, 2005
George Bush has a firm grasp on fantasy. He revels in the wonderful work that prayer could do for Katrina, the people who drowned because of his inaction, and the fine way in which his lengthy vacations in Crawford have contributed to cultural conflict and disillusion. While his guitar fondling may not ever win any awards, his rap speeches concerning staying his failed course in Iraq, and his dastardly repeated violation of Iraq (…)

By nominating a man known as "Scalia-lite" for the Supreme Court, President George W. Bush may have picked a fight he is going to lose, unless the Democrats prove to be losers. The choice of Samuel A. Alito, a right wing stalwart, to replace the moderate Sandra Day O’Connor is at once, audaciously brazen, spit-in-the eye insulting, nakedly partisan and just plain dumb.
Bad News Bush has watched his poll numbers sink faster than New Orleans. Yet, he makes a choice of (…)

If there were a Mount Rushmore of international soccer, Diego Maradona’s face would adorn it. In 2000 he was named by FIFA (the Fédération Internationale de Football Association), along with Pelé, as the greatest player in the history of the sport. But in his native Argentina, Maradona is a lightning rod for love, hate, brutal criticism and passionate defense. He is Muhammad Ali in 1968—if 1968 lasted for twenty years.
Maradona was in the eye of a media storm last weekend, (…)

Recruits’ Job Worries Outweigh War Fears
By Ann Scott Tyson
As sustained combat in Iraq makes it harder than ever to fill the ranks of the all-volunteer force, newly released Pentagon demographic data show that the military is leaning heavily for recruits on economically depressed, rural areas where youths’ need for jobs may outweigh the risks of going to war.
More than 44 percent of U.S. military recruits come from rural areas, Pentagon figures show. In contrast, 14 percent come from (…)

Is the CIA using secret locations in Europe to interrogate prisoners in America’s war against terror? Reports about "black sites" have unsettled even the Bush administration’s closest European partners.
Danish Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen considers himself "America’s best friend" in Europe. He even broke a long-standing Danish tradition of seeking parliament-wide consensus in contentious foreign policy issues to back Washington’s decision to invade Iraq.
But the right-wing (…)

Some aspects of George Bush’s travels have become commonplace, including massive protests, sporadic violence and tight security operations. All of these usual elements—notably the imperial-style arrival of the US president with an entourage of 2,000 people and four AWACS surveillance systems—were present at the Fourth Summit of the Americas in Mar del Plata, Argentina.
But the opposition to Bush and his proposed Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA), as well as (…)
