Unknown to most of the world, satellites can perform astonishing and often menacing feats. This should come as no surprise when one reflects on the massive effort poured into satellite technology since the Soviet satellite Sputnik, launched in 1957, caused panic in the U.S. A spy satellite can monitor a person's every movement, even when the "target" is indoors or deep in the interior of a building or traveling rapidly down the highway in a car, in any kind of weather (cloudy, rainy, stormy). There is no place to hide on the face of the earth.
Every child born in the UK could be genetically screened and the data stored to plan their future healthcare under government proposals for a massive expansion of genetic testing.
(Re: Bush launches fundraising effort for re-election)
This is just plain wrong. President Bush is supposed to be presiding over the business of the United States for the next 18 months, not raising money for a political campaign.
If he has done a good job this term, he will no doubt get a second....if he hasn't...money won't help.
Gov. Jeb Bush, the presidents' brother, chastised state lawmakers (Re: Bush decries GOP's fundraising during session) for similar misconduct.
I also object to the term re-election. It implies he was elected to this term, and many would argue about that.
WIDE-RANGING powers to enable the police to run the internet and the rest of Britains information superhighway in the event of a terrorist attack will be unveiled this week.
The bill, to be unveiled by Douglas Alexander, a senior Cabinet Office minister, this Thursday will give ministers powers to issue orders to internet service providers and those utilities that rely on the web.
The role of the Justice Department is to preserve individual freedoms, not take them away, Attorney General John Ashcroft said yesterday during a visit to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia.
Orwellian nightmare for 'persecuted' couple as armed guards ensure infant's vaccination. "It makes me feel like the country I live in is no better than communist China or the old Soviet Union or Nazi Germany, and that's a very sobering and scary outlook."
You have to be elected first...to be re-elected. Why do I pay you ,,for the next 18 months, to be president, if you're going to be busy raising 170 million more worthless us dollars, for your "PARTY"..,
Tony Blair was charged with deliberately misleading the public over Iraq's weapons of mass destruction yesterday as two former cabinet ministers revealed that MI6 believed Saddam Hussein's arsenal posed no immediate threat.
In an extraordinary public hearing at Westminster, Clare Short and Robin Cook told MPs that intelligence chiefs had concluded that the risk of Saddam using chemical or biological weapons was not high.
There over 800 prison camps in the United States, all fully operational and ready to receive prisoners. They are all staffed and even surrounded by full-time guards, but they are all empty. These camps are to be operated by FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) should Martial Law need to be implemented in the United States and all it would take is a presidential signature on a proclamation and the attorney general's signature on a warrant to which a list of names is attached. Ask yourself if you really want to be on Ashcroft's list.
A confidential analysis confirms AFPs earlier report about a meeting on arms acquisition years ago that included a clean-shaven purported terrorist mastermind Osama bin Laden talking with U.S. officials.
Someone recently asked when the last act of foreign terrorism was committed against Switzerland. Isn't it interesting that countries that mind their own business aren't targets of violence committed by citizens of other nations? Maybe there's a lesson there somewhere.
Apologists for activist government never tire of telling us that the benevolent state is our protector and that without it we'd be at the mercy of monsters. It is about time that we understood that the U.S. government does more to endanger the American people than any imagined monsters around the world.
It began more than a decade ago as a form of futuristic baby making: Researchers had found a way to screen fertilized eggs for some genetic flaws, allowing parents to implant only those that were free of certain inherited diseases.
Bush's invasion brought "democracy" to Iraq -- but none of the Iraqis are allowed to vote.
It brought our "free market" system to Iraq -- but Cheney's Halliburton is the only company to get all the oil business in a no-bid contract worth billions.
It brought "justice" to the wrong-doers -- but now the suspects are held indefinitely without public trial in Cuba.
It "separated" Saddam from the nerve gas and anthrax we sold him in the 90's -- but now it's in the hands of who-knows-who-or-where.
We're told all this takes time -- just like they're still waiting for it in Afghanistan.
"It's clear that the problems of 9/11 were the result of not analyzing information we had already collected. Creating more hay to search through the haystack is not an effective way to find the needle," Mr. Edgar said in an interview.
"It's impossible for anyone to make the case that our civil liberties were the problem," agreed Lee Tien, staff attorney at the Electronic Frontier Foundation in San Francisco.
For those battling the Americans, this is a war of ambushes, sniping attacks and bombings. Their goal is to bleed the Americans in the hope that they will decide that Iraq is more of a snare than a prize and leave. This week, it is the Americans who have the initiative.
Vice President Dick Cheney was thanked for his remarks at the Council of the Americas conference on May 6, 2002, by founder and Honorary Chairman, David Rockefeller.
Cheney said that the FTAA would be completed by January, 2005. (paragraph 18)
WASHINGTON - A third of the American public believes U.S. forces found weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, according to a recent poll, and 22 percent said Iraq actually used chemical or biological weapons.
But no such weapons have been found, nor is there evidence they were used recently in Iraq.
Before the war, half of those polled in a survey said Iraqis were among the 19 hijackers on Sept. 11, 2001. But most of them were from Saudi Arabia. None were Iraqis.
How could so many people be so wrong about information that has dominated the news for nearly two years?
"...In addition to being unconstitutional, HR 2143 is likely to prove ineffective at ending Internet gambling. Instead, this bill will ensure that gambling is controlled by organized crime. History, from the failed experiment of prohibition to today's futile "war on drugs," shows that the government cannot eliminate demand for something like Internet gambling simply by passing a law. Instead, HR 2143 will force those who wish to gamble over the Internet to patronize suppliers willing to flaunt the ban..."
I suppose the neo-cons are right when they claim that they, 'don't do nation building' ; just nation destroying followed by an expensive occupation...
In all respects the stated intentions of U.S. policy makers and leaders have gone terribly off course. This isnt just a failure of U.S. foreign policy; it is an outright humanitarian disaster of monstrous proportions...
The death rate of children under 5 in Afghanistan is 350(est.) in each 1000 with more than 1 in every 4 that will not grow up. There have been over 400,000 children that died in the 24 year long conflict.
270,000 children die a year in Afghanistan every year from disease and war. This figure is now several years old and current figures point to 500,000 a year being a more accurate figure.
President Megawati is virtually on a hot seat for the last two years in managing the countrys affairs. Her Vice-president Hamza Haz has been uncooperative in tackling the radicals and the terrorists. He openly admitted that Abu Bakar Bashir, the head of Jemaah Islamia, is a friend. He espouses the cause of the fundamentalists and has been backing the calls for Sharia to improve his credentials for the next elections in 2004...
Jemaah Islamia (JI) is the major regional terrorist group in Indonesia and its links with Al Qaeda have been established to a great extent. Abu Bakar Bashir, a 64 year old Muslim cleric, is the spiritual leader of JI. He is on trial since 23 April 2003 for treason and immigration offences. He had fled to Malaysia to escape arrest and stayed there for 14 years before returning to Indonesia in 1999. Two suspects of the Bali blasts are also linked to JI According to the ICG report the JI can draw upon a loose national network of religious leaders, alumni of radical religious schools and veterans of sectarian conflicts in Indonesia and abroad.
In Indonesia "Muslim groups were also able to secure significant support for the struggles of Muslims in Afghanistan during the Soviet occupation, Bosnia, Kosovo and Chechnya." http://www.ntu.edu.sg/idss/Perspective/Research_050226.htm Those just happen to be "jihads" that the CIA has supported. Yes, those JI leaders do have protectors in high places, and not just in Indonesia!
The seizure of the Hawaiian nation, in any case, wasn't about improving the lot of a people systematically dispossessed and disenfranchised by the annexationists, any more than the de facto U.S. occupation of Afghanistan is about helping Afghans, or the war with Iraq about liberating that nation's people. It was about more fully empowering the already powerful, and making the wealthy wealthier, squeezing profits out of coolie labor like you squeeze sweet sap out of sugarcane stalks. It was an early instance of U.S. imperialism, supported ideologically by religious fundamentalism and racism, and justified by bald-faced lies. Unfortunately, it's not even one of the ugliest examples, and probably nowhere near the last.
It [WMD's] was regarded as a "secondary issue", less important than regime change and reshaping the Middle East by putting in place a pro-US government in an oil-rich country and introducing democracy to the region.
We have continued the tradition of fabricating reasons for war in order to fight with other purposes/goals in mind.
Outgoing chief UN weapons inspector Hans Blix said today most of the US intelligence information on Iraqi weapons of mass destruction was not "solid" and should not have been used to justify the US-led invasion of the country. Iraqis "had many years to learn how to hide things, but nevertheless, most of (the) intelligence has not been solid," Blix told America's ABC News.
Was this not the man hired to basically determine a cause for war? Oh wait, he was up until the part where he showed no signs of finding any weapons, so we kicked him out and bombed it all.
The UN humanitarian reports on the blockades effects on Iraqi children tell a grisly tale. In December 1995, the UN Food and Agriculture Organization reported 567,000 Iraqi children had died as a direct consequence of economic sanctions. In March 1996, a World Health Organization study released found the blockade had caused a six-fold increase in the mortality rate of Iraqi children under age five. UNICEF reported in October 1996 that 4,500 Iraqi children under five were dying every month as a result of sanctions-induced starvation and disease. Statistics such as these are not hard to find.
Have we all lost our minds? How can a governing body that is 'by and for the people' be allowed to be so negligent? The citizens in our so called democracy reap the benefits of such selfish behavior, the burden is on us to counter the unacceptable Bush doctrine.
On Sunday, Condoleezza Rice admitted that President Bush had used a forged document in his State of the Union speech to prove Iraq represented a nuclear threat: "We did not know at the time maybe someone knew down in the bowels of the agency but no one in our circles knew that there were doubts and suspicions that this might be a forgery. Of course it was information that was mistaken."
It seems the whole propaganda strategy, and strategy for a move to war, was to keep creating weak, if not totally baseless links between terrorism, WMD's, and Iraq. Once a claim was discredited 4 more sprung up in its place. If they hear it enough, they'll believe it, or at least thats what this administration seems to think.
"My kind of loyalty was loyalty to one's country, not to its institutions or its office-holders. The country is the real thing, the substantial thing, the eternal thing; it is the thing to watch over, and care for, and be loyal to." -- Mark Twain
Our world is consuming over 80 million barrels of oil per DAY. That's 3.33 million barrels per hour. Imagine going out in your backyard and lighting a barrel of oil on fire, black greasy smoke filling the neighborhood. Yet that's exactly what we're all doing every day, every time we jump in our cars, with every hot shower and glass of ice we guzzle.
Sources, speaking on condition of anonymity, have confirmed Israel has turned on President Bush and will do everything in her power to keep him out of the White House after completing his current term. Early removal is highly unlikely but not something to be ruled out.
Hints of Israeli lobbies in America not being fully supportive of Bush arose when an internal AIPAC memo was leaked, giving specific instructions to AIPAC personnel not to publicly support Bush or endorse his policies.
Rumors have surfaced of a deal that was made in which Israeli intelligence agents, who were operating in Iraq at the time, would assist the U.S. in locating Saddam's alleged WMD's and possibly plant them to bolster President Bush's presidency and justification for war. Backing out of their promise will prove destructive to Bush's chances for another term in the White House.
"No one ever said that we knew precisely where all of these agents were, where they were stored," Rice told on NBC's "Meet the Press." (Sunday June 8, 2003)
Donald Rumsfeld, the US defence secretary, attempted to play down the findings. He told ABC's This Week (on March 30, 2003) that banned weapons were not in areas controlled by allied forces.
"We know where they are, they are in the area around Tikrit and Baghdad and east, west, south and north of that," he said.
