    CASMII Statement: IAEA finds no evidence of Iranian nuclear-weapons plan
    On March 2, an Associated Press report made it clear that the IAEA’s multi-year investigation has not shown "any diversion of nuclear material to nuclear weapons or other nuclear explosive devices." This verdict sharply contradicts the February 4th resolution of the Board of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), which reports Iran to (…)

    April 1, 2006
    MILITIAMEN from an Iranian-backed force were deliberately recruited by Britain to join the new Iraqi security services after Saddam Hussein was overthrown, the Government has admitted.
    The sectarian Badr organisation, trained in exile by Iran’s Revolutionary Guards, is suspected of violently pursuing its own agenda after being allowed to enlist in national units. John Reid, the Defence Secretary, disclosed in a Commons written answer to the Plaid Cymru MP Adam Price that it (…)

    An Open Letter to New Exxon/Mobil CEO, Rex Tillerson
    April 1, 2006
    Mr. Tillerson:
    You have to be feeling pretty good about your new position heading the world’s largest oil and gas company. You stand astride the globe where, with few exceptions, the Congress is like putty in your hands, the White House is your House and the consuming public is powerless. Governments in the Third World may huff and puff, but Exxon/Mobil pretty much gets its way in dozens of arrangements completed and (…)

  • US capable of wiping out Russia’s nuclear capacity in a single strike
    2 April 2006

    According to Foreign Affairs article
    By Oleg Artyukov and Vadim Trukhachev
    March 23, 2006 Pravda (Russia)
    For the first time in the last 50 years the USA is on the verge of attaining ultimate domination with regard to nuclear weapons. This means that Russia is no longer able to keep up with the United States. If a conflict were to break out, the USA would be able to quickly and with impunity attack Russian territory, and Russia would have no means to mount a response.
    This is roughly (…)

    WTO, GMO and Total Spectrum Dominance
    by F. William Engdahl
    March 29, 2006
    In February, a private organization with unique powers over world industry, trade and agriculture, issued a Preliminary Draft Ruling on a three-year-old case. The case was brought by the Bush Administration in May 2003 against European Union rules hindering the spread of genetically-engineered plants and foods. The WTO ruling, which is to be final in December, will have more influence over life and death on this (…)

  • "My Duty as an Able-Bodied American Citizen to Say No"
    2 April 2006

    On December 21, 2002, four sixteen- to seventeen-year-old girls from upstate New York were arrested for walking into a military recruiting office and refusing to leave. One of them, Oona Clare DeFlaun, when asked what if anything had influenced her, answered: -A couple of years ago I found a quote from the Nuremberg War Crimes Tribunal...It says, -Individuals have international duties which transcend the national obligations of obedience. Therefore [individual citizens] have the duty to (…)

  • Billionaire Thailand PM gives Satan Sign before phony election
    2 April 2006

    Is the Thai PM telling the world that he is a satan worshipper?
    Thailand’s prime minister has a giant fortune, a loving and grateful family and the adoration of some, if not all, of his public.
    To that list he can now add what might appear every politician’s dream: an election without an opposition. Thaksin Shinawatra stands tomorrow in a poll in which his party’s only company on the ballot paper will be a list of fringe groups and "None of the Above" - the box that is his only (…)

  • The War Drums Are Getting Louder and Sounding a Clear Message
    2 April 2006

    by Stephen Lendman
    The way things are today, why on earth would those in charge in Washington ever want another war or maybe two of them. Already they’re embroiled in two out-of-control debacles in the Middle East and Central Asia, and the country is leaching multi-billions we don’t have to pay for them. Despite this hopeless chaos, it looks almost certain we’re now headed for a new one with Iran and may try to "double our displeasure" by adding still another with Venezuela to remove their (…)

  • The 7 Minute Daydream: What went on in Bush’s mind?
    2 April 2006

    We all know about the 7 minutes during the 9/11 attacks when Bush sat "reading" My Pet Goat. But most people have no idea what was going on inside that bland brain as Bush just seemed to stare into space for those long, intermindable minutes.
    Well, thanks to new technology developed by Professor G.L.Looney of Harvard, we now have insight into exactly what Bush’s thoughts were. As a public service and as an exclusive to Bellacio, I present those musings below:
    Minute #1 (immediately after (…)
