Is a Second More Deadly 9/11 Now In the Works? There are good reasons to believe so As you know, a B-52 bomber was equipped with six nuclear warheads mounted on Advanced Cruise Missiles and then flown from Minot Air Force Base in North Dakota to Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana on August 30. They were mounted on the wings of the bomber.
According to Wayne Madsen's sources, a group of officers within the US Air Force became aware of the theft of these missiles and their nuclear warheads and intercepted them at Barksdale.

The dark forces driving Bush's absolute power In Britain, most of the leading parties support greater parliamentary control over war powers, especially after the debacle of Iraq, a war whose mistakes were compounded by too tight a circle of executive decision-making. In America, congressional resistance to presidential power is nearing a historic nadir; and we live in a time of a resurgent imperial presidency. The attacks of 9/11 would doubtless have increased presidential power. Emergencies always do. But no one could have predicted the sheer scale of what has happened and the extreme to which it has now gone.

Rumsfeld flees France fearing arrest Former US Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld fled France today fearing arrest over charges of "ordering and authorizing" torture of detainees at both the American-run Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq and the US military's detainment facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, unconfirmed reports coming from Paris suggest.
US embassy officials whisked Rumsfeld away yesterday from a breakfast meeting in Paris organized by the Foreign Policy magazine after human rights groups filed a criminal complaint against the man who spearheaded President George W. Bush's "war on terror" for six years.

US practicing systematic rape, torture, sadism against women in Iraqi prison camps Al-Hamd said that the enormous crimes being committed against women in the prison camps in occupied Iraq have the support and blessings of the US military, for whom the practices serve as a means to bring psychological pressure on men engaged in the Resistance, in an attempt to break their spirit and fighting will. Muhammad Adham al-Hamd made the comments in a statement regarding reports that confirmed the presence of large numbers of women in the American-run prison camps – women who are detained solely to be raped and abused in order to bring pressure upon their husbands, brothers, sons or fathers.

Just when did this country morph from the United States of America to the United States of Torture? And you thought Abu Ghraib was the last of it? Apparently not. Here's your tax dollars at work, folks, and the actions ultimatelybeing done in your name: doesn't it make you proud??

Guantanamo military lawyer breaks ranks to condemn 'unconscionable' detention An American military lawyer and veteran of dozens of secret Guantanamo tribunals has made a devastating attack on the legal process for determining whether Guantanamo prisoners are "enemy combatants".
His critique will be the centrepiece of a hearing on 5 December before the US Supreme Court when another attempt is made to shut the prison down. So nervous is the Bush administration of the latest attack – and another Supreme Court ruling against it – that it is preparing a whole new system of military courts to deal with those still imprisoned.

Lengthy SWAT Standoff Over Foreclosure Ends in Suicide A 12-hour standoff ended this morning with a north Houston man lobbing Molotov cocktails at Houston Police before taking his own life rather than vacate a home he'd lost to foreclosure.

LAST THROW FOR THE NEO-CONS If the deranged cabal who occupy the White House get their way we will be panicked into believing that bombing Iran - even though it threatens a conflagration across the Middle East and beyond - is a necessary evil to safeguard the free world.

Iran: The Road to Armageddon? The increasingly hysterical claims regarding Iran, the latest threat to life as we know it, is being brought to you by the very same warmongers who wrought the duplicity that resulted in Iraq's murderous decimation, the hawks' nest which is the American Enterprise Institute (AEI) and their friends.

One Man's Terrorist is Another's Diplomat The Bush administration's decision Thursday to put new sanctions on Iran's Revolutionary Guards and its elite Quds force is a calculated gamble intended to convince Iran's leadership to behave better in Iraq and suspend uranium enrichment.
But the step could backfire by arousing a nationalist backlash in Iran and convincing the leadership there that the U.S. government is not interested in negotiations—only in squeezing the Iranian economy until its people rise up and overthrow the regime.

The folks in Washington are obviously betting that this step of invoking sanctions will convince the leadership in Tehran that the US government is absolutely not interested in negotiations. That's precisely the message they are sending. Negotiations with senior government members in Tehran could reduce the conflict, and lessen the possibility of military action.

MRAPs going to Iraq on Russian cargo planes The Air Force has been forced to use Russian commercial cargo jets to rush mine-resistant ambush-protected vehicles from the U.S. to Iraq because it does not have enough C-5 and C-17 planes to do the job, the service's top civilian official said recently.

I have a better idea. Let's bring the troops home. 1. There were no WMDs in Iraq.
2. Saddam had nothing to do with 9-11.
3. Iraq was NOT aiding "The Toilet."
4. The Iraqis don't want us there.
5. It's cheaper to just buy the oil from Iraq.

When future military tacticians study the invasion and occupation of Iraq, they may well shake their heads in disbelief that the US absolutely didn't see this coming. Of course, actually thinking anything through has never been the strong suite of any members of this administration.

War against Egypt in the winter The profound frustration because war did not break out with Syria during the summer - although there are some who argue that the summer has not yet ended - is being vented by channeling the anger against another neighbor: Egypt. October is an appropriate month to set upon a state that meticulously adheres to the peace accord it signed with Israel about 30 years ago.

Who is responsible for the California Fires? The second one is about the town of Potrero where the citizens were planning a major fight against Blackwater, the mercenary company that is planning to build a 824-acre facility in in their community. This article describes how the citizens of Potrero saw no firetrucks until long after their houses burned down, found all roads blocked, and heard no reverse 911 calls warning them to evacuate.
Obviously, we don't have enough information to come to any conclusions as to what this might mean, maybe we never will, but these are very suspicious stories that need some examination.

'Shoot first' laws make it tougher for burglars in the United States Burglars in the United States could once sue homeowners if they were shot, but now a growing number of states have made it legal to shoot to kill when somebody breaks into a house.

Remember to load your weapon with fragmentation slugs that explode on impact, like the Glaser Safety Slugs. In addition to coupling more energy to the target (and turning the impact zone into hamburger) such bullets tend NOT to penetrate through walls intact and into your neighbors house, the way FMJ will.

LANDMARK COURT SETTLEMENT REQUIRES NASA TO RELEASE DOCUMENTS ON MYSTERIOUS UFO CASE
Posted Oct 29, 2007 06:15 AM PST
Folks, I suspect that the US Government is testing some new classified aircraft, which is why we are seeing all this UFO stuff showing up on TV and the net. The idea is that when someone sees a couple billion dollars of their tax money whizzing by at mach 9, they'll blame it on little green men, and send everyone off looking in the wrong place for whatever it was.
