The National Security Strategy Tells All      
There are two authorings that everyone in the world can read, must read, to know what the grand plan is for the United States and the world in the new millennium. This is the plan, an agenda, set forth by a few men to rule the world. These two documents have been written and sent off into the world to convince us of the importance that US supremacy plays in keeping the world from falling into chaos. They tell us that without US dominance in the world there will be chaos, terrorism, and anarchy. Is this extortion - give us power o r there will be terror; is this is the core coercion for the PAX Americana? Do you buy it? IS it correct in its logic? Will it work? Or is this strategy the front argument for the placement of the down side of Globalization = Fascism + Market economics.

First the "Grand Chessboard," by Brzezinski, this is an exccerpt from the new book, "Beyond IRAQ, Surviving GLobalization," due out by the end of March. The second reading is the National Security Strategy, the foundation of the current Bush Doctrine.


     
On February 15th the people have spoken and we agree that we must trim the Bushes to secure the nation and our world.

1-26-03 --> Is Bush the biggest threat to the world's suvival?- or is he just taming the world with US might? Post 911 has changed the US policy around nuclear weapons. Does might make right or might it backfire into a world war?
"Our country is split 50-50 on Bush's state of the union speech. Fifty percent don't believe a thing President Bush says, and 50 percent think he's a liar."

The War in Iraq Sideshow

The whole mid-east war and the war on tourism, I mean terrorism, are smoke screens for the behind the scenes invasion of Globalization. Are we paying attention yet? Our emotions are being played by the BUSH puppeteers to keep us looking away from the real war - the war on the people of the planet by the ruling elite. The invasion of our constitution, our civil rights, our economy, our foreign policy is nothing more than oppression on stearoids and Bush is kept busy doling out tax cuts for SUV owners and posing for photo ops with the old Soviet Union new Free Market economy countries in eastern Europe. What we are witnessing in Iraq is the not so subtle installment of the Market economy and Fascism upon a foreign country in full view of the world. YUCK!

The War On Terror is a fantasy!
October 9, 2002 | Why would such a statement be made? What is the logic and the facts that would support this statement? What are the threats to the future of our country and our world if we give Bush permission to attack Iraq? Go to the Daily Buzz to read a series of threee articles that take a radically different and prophetic view on the subject of attacking Iraq.
"It's less important to have unanimity than it is making the right decision and doing the right thing, even though at the outset it may seem lonesome,"

Now there is a good reason to go start a war alone! Well said Rummy, and what is unaminitity? Unamagimosity? Unaminousnus? This unprecedented propaganda on unilateral pre-emptive attacks is proving the myth, "if you tell a lie often enough the people will believe it".

Message to the world from the Hopi Elders
August 2002 - It is a time in history when the planet seems to be shaking. There are new ways to be confused. Trust in reality is shaken and everyone is being remade. As we identify with our families, our cities, our nation and our world we are finding new personas, new selves emerging. What does your new being look like? This message from the Hopi is simple in its wording, almost cryptic, but is worthy of in-depth discussion for its meaning touches upon a prophecy from the beginning of time and is right on.
The Peace Pledge is here and its legal. This is the pledge that was recited at the 'STOP the WAR NOW' forum on July 15th.

"I hold the faith for one world, bonded by life, united in spirit, and liberated by resistance to all threats to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. I pledge to live a life dedicated to the peace of all citizens and all life on Earth".

South America Rebels Against Globalization
7-22-02 | Here is a report that gives a brief history of the economic battles facing South America over the years. This is for those that wish to know what is happenning in Peru and other Latin countries at this time. Peru being the latest to take to the streets in open rebellion to the forces of globalization. Will these forces of globalization continue to attempt to privatize this continent or will they finally realize that their efforts are in vain and that their brand of Ultra-capitalism does not and will not work. Get the story here.
Is Our Democracy in Danger?

Why are union workers loosing their jobs?
Why are our parks being closed?
See how Privatization, Globalization and the 'Free Market Economy' is lancing the American dream.

This event on may 31st went well as avid supporters for democracy showed up and shared their wisdom and enthusiasm for standing up for what we believe in - the exercising of Democracy. If the people rise up and exercise their freedom to be an active participant in democracy then we will live in one. Our current democracy has been under attaack for many years and now it is at a critical point, one at which our ability to govern ourselves will be lost or saved for some time.

4-09-02 | The world has to maintain a level of civility when it is waging war, hence we have war tribunals to guarantee that we do not sink into inthinkable atrocities. Sharon must be put on trial for the Palestine war crimes (sign petition) and for his massacres in the reufgee camps in Lebanon in 1981.

Bush was in office a scant three months when the US was voted out of the UN Human Rights Commission. Amnesty International condemns us. The Arab League condemns us. The U.N. condemns us. The EU condemns us. When are the people of the US going to WAKE UP! and claim responsibility for what is happening in the world today and STOP selling weapons! Support the International Criminal Court! Force the Rottwheiler Israel out of Palestine!
This image is one of the more presentable from the current battles being waged.


4-06-01 Palestine eye witness accounts | The massacre in Palestine by Israel is unprecedented in world history for its vulgar barbarism and blatant disregard for life. The repulsive character of the massacre is even worse than the Nazis storming the Warsaw ghetto in WWII.

"In an unprecedented breach of human rights, Israeli occupation soldiers announced in the afternoon that they would cease their fire in order to allow the women and elderly to get water only to arrest them and use them as human shields later on. Since the residents have had no water for days, a number of women and elderly men came out of their homes. However, as they reached the camp's entrance, where Israeli tanks and personnel carriers are, they were all detained. Shortly after that, residents reported hearing the Israeli forces calling out on the microphone to the resistance fighters ... to surrender in order to save the lives of the detained civilians. The detainees were seen strapped to the tanks and personnel carriers, which resumed their bombardment campaign..."

"The Palestinian leadership urgently appeals to the international community and the Arab leaders to immediately intervene and help save the residents of the Jenin refugee camp for they have been the victims of a brutal war campaign.
"We hold the international community responsible for delaying any intervention that could spare the refugee camp's residents from a sure massacre"
So far, no international party has intervened to stop the ongoing massacre. Here are some links to get the news from eyewitness accounts.

As members of the international civilian peace force on the ground in the besieged Palestinian towns of Ramallah and Bethlehem, we are sending out an urgent call for help.


First of all we'd like to confirm that there are 34 foreign civilians still inside the Presidential compound, under siege by Israeli forces. They are 27 French, 2 Germans, 1 British, 1 Belgian, 1 Brazilian, 1 Israeli/Canadian and 1 Irish. They have been in there since Sunday, March 31, 2002. They are reporting to us a severe shortage of food, no water and a desperate need for medical supplies.


Quote of the Day -

"Murderers are not martyrs, targeting civilians is immoral, whatever the excuse, terrorists have declared war on civilization, and states like Iran, Iraq and Syria are inspiring and financing a culture of political murder and suicide bombing,"
Rumsfeld - 4-01-02
I know it is April Fools Day but is he kidding? The propaganda machine is rolling over our lives like an Israeli tank rolling over Arafats car in a hurry to get to WWIII. Is there a solution to Israel and Palestine?

Quote of the Week -
"Some governments will be timid in the face of terror, and make no mistake: If they do not act, America will." - Bush

Bush Witnesses Military Training To Quell Rioters (Protestors)at Fort Bragg
Fri Mar 15, 3:19 PM ET

The story innocently reports that this is preparation to quell rioting. Its really about blatantly practicing how to brutally quell any disssidents that attempt to de-rail the New World Order. With 600,000 marching in Barcelona we can understand why the establishment would be getting nervous.
Note: The only men to use the phrase 'New World Order' in their description of the world is Bush Sr., Tony Blair, and Hitler.

Pentagon to Prepare Nuclear Weapons
Sat Mar 9, 7:16 AM ET

This story reported in the LA Times details the new intentions that the Bush administrastion has in the use of nuclear weapons. How disheartening can you get? I propose we wage a campaign to make it illegal to wage war with nuclear weapons. It is time for the war mongers to quit playing their little war game and quietly leave the planet. They are the weakest link - Good-bye!

The Bush administration has told the Defense Department to prepare, on a contingency basis, plans to use nuclear weapons against at least seven countries. The countries named in the secret report -- provided to Congress Jan. 8 -- were China, Russia, Iraq, North Korea, Iran, Libya and Syria, the Los Angeles Times reported. I can imagine what these countries are going to be saying at the UN on Monday.

The three contingencies listed for possible use of the weapons were "against targets able to withstand nonnuclear attack; in retaliation for attack with nuclear, biological or chemical weapons; or "in the event of surprising military developments."

"In recent months, when Bush administration officials talked about the implications of Sept. 11 for long-term military policy, they have often focused on "homeland defense" and the need for an anti-missile shield. In truth, what has evolved since last year's terror attacks is an integrated, significantly expanded planning doctrine for nuclear wars."
William M. Arkin is a senior fellow at the Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies


Hiroshima, 1945 ----
Until now first use of nuclear weapons has been unthinkable. Until NOW!
The Bush administration are all mad.

BUSH nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize?
But he may not get it, there is stiff competition from other nominations that include Rudolph Giuliani and Tony Blair.
This is proposterous and so way over the line that common sense cannot grasp it. First Bush stole the election and was named man of the year. Now he is threatening to start WWIII and they want to give him the Peace prize?

This is big --- bigger than the shoe bomber, bigger even than Bush firing up some pretzels and then falling over on the bong and getting a black eye. Well lets give him a black eye on this one; here's how you can stop the madness - http://www.eskimo.com/~cwj2/actions/bushblairnobel.html

War Games 2002 http://www.idahostatesman.com/news/daily/20020220/LocalNews/227718.shtml
http://www.stlimc.org/front.php3?article_id=1730&group=webcast

The US military is playing war games in Little Rock Ark. now, and in Boise, Idaho this Fall. The US citizens are really getting behind this war and playing this game a little too gleefully. Here are some quotes from a couple articles promoting the local anti-terrorist war games coming to a city near you. Home searches, road blocks, kidnapping scenarios all done with the intention of practicing getting in and getting out without being seen.

Boise Police Chief Don Pierce said. "It is going to be an interesting and fun community event. There will be a role for citizens to play."

Little Rock - Local police will accompany the troops as they move about, and city workers and officials will join in the role playing, including Mayor Pat Hays. "He wants to play a warlord."

Is Iraq Bush's Poland? The trigger on the gun. But does he have enough support in the world to pull it off? He would hate to go to war with just Israel as an ally ---- I am sure they remember that Hitler was just a couple allies short of a full deck.
So it is amusing to see the Bush gang fly around the world rallying support for WWIII. No thanks, not interested is the response so far.

U.S. Planes Rain Dollars, Not Bombs, on Afghanistan
Reuters | February 14
CHAMAN, Pakistan - U.S. aircraft over southern Afghanistan have scattered $100 bills tucked into envelopes.
"C-130 planes dropped white-coloured paper envelopes with a photo of President Bush and two bills of $100 each," said Abdul Hadi, a resident of Chaman, Pakistan on the border with southern Afghanistan.

"They are actually dropping these over areas across the border but a few were carried away by the wind to this side," Hadi said. "People pushed and fought with each other to get their hands on the envelopes."

full story = http://in.news.yahoo.com/020214/64/1gefq.html

Commentary - Has Bush been reading the Onion.com? Where are these stories coming from? Who is running this show and who wrote the script? I guess the best way to get people into materialism and promote capitalism is to drop money out of the sky.

During Valentine's week, the FBI put the country on high alert for terrorist attacks. Then issued a warning about red and white teddie bears. Nothing is sacred, not even teddy bears. Put this together with the keep off the bridges on the west coast, the money falling out of the sky with a picture of George Bush and the pretzel story and the shoe bomber and on and on and my intelligence is thoroughly insulted. Enough said about the bizarre - its as though we have stepped into the version of the Twilight Zone hosted by Mad TV.

and my point is - Bush keeps taking away my thunder!

Bush defends shadow government

Now I can't even be a political whacko raving about the shadow government. Bush says yeah there is a shadow government and I am running it. I can't even make fun of him, he keeps stealing the punchline. Like his solution for social security - promote smoking; as his administration said last summer. All the things that our government once did covertly they are now doing overtly. Do we really think they are going to NOT give us disinformation? because they tell us they have disbanded the Pentagon's disinformation bureau?


Still think it was a fair election? Check out the retraction which recently appeared in The Economist, a magazine whose consistent advocacy of free trade has made it a darling of the New Right:
"In the issues of December 16th 2000 to November 10th 2001, we may have given the impression that George W. Bush had been legally and duly elected president of the United States. We now understand that this may have been incorrect...The Economist apologizes for any inconvenience." - The Economist, Nov. 17, 2001.

"They give ammunition to America's enemies and pause to America's friends."

Bush Backed Out of '72 Nuclear Pact
George Bush declared this on Monday; "For the good of peace, we're moving forward with an active program ... In order to do so, we must move beyond the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty, a treaty that was written in a different era, for a different enemy."

Did he take this out of an old speech by that guy that started WWII? War is peace and we must fight to defend our borders and protect our homeland and way of life; this was the content of the speeches in Germany in the late 30's. I thought humanity had grown beyond fascism.

The ABM Treaty is an extremely important agreement. It has become the foundation of all treaties since. Pull out from this treaty and the rug is pulled out of every treaty in the last 30 years. This is the grandfather of all the agreements that are keeping the world safe and sane. To read more on the story click here - US News - or here for the British press - or here for research on the ABM Treaty.

Authorizes "Sneak and Peek Searches": Authorizes expanded use of covert searches for any criminal investigation, thus allowing the government to enter your home, office or other private place and conduct a search, take photographs, and download your computer files without notifying you until later.

Allows Forum Shopping:  Law enforcement can apply for warrants in any court in any jurisdiction where it is conducting an investigation for a search anywhere in the country. This would make it very difficult for individuals subjected to searches to challenge the warrant.

Creates New Crime of Domestic Terrorism: Creates an entirely new type of crime, which is unnecessary for the prosecution of the "War on Terrorism." By expanding the definition of terrorism in such a way, the bill could potentially allow the government to levy heavy penalties for relatively minor offenses, including political protests and political dissent

Allows the CIA to Spy on Americans: Gives the Director of Central Intelligence the power to manage the gathering of intelligence in America and mandate the disclosure of information obtained by the FBI about terrorism in general -- even if it is about law-abiding American citizens -- to the CIA.

Imposes Indefinite Detention: Permits authorities to indefinitely detain non-citizens, without meaningful judicial review.

Reduces Privacy in Student Records: Allows law enforcement to access, use and disseminate highly personal information about American and foreign students.

Expands Wiretap Authority: Minimizes judicial supervision of law enforcement wiretap authority in several ways, including: permitting law enforcement to obtain the equivalent of "blank" warrants in the physical world; authorizing intelligence wiretaps that need not specify the phone to be tapped or require that only the target's conversations be eavesdropped upon; and allowing the FBI to use its "intelligence" authority to circumvent the judicial review of the probable cause requirement of the Fourth Amendment.

Now is the critical time when we the people will shape the future of the world for some time to come either by our actions or inactions.
