The war in Afghanistan makes no sense at all. Why would anybody want to invade and take over this remote and hard land of poor and ferocious men? There are no spoils to be taken, no oil, no important routes. But what is the possible benefit?The only semi-rational argument is that of Drugs. Afghanistan produces a lot of the stuff (90 percent of the world's supply) ; in the days of Taliban rule, opium was practically eliminated, but since the US intervention, the production shot up many times. Afghani opium is flown from Bagram Air Base to Kosovo, the biggest US base in Europe and then smuggled to Europe . Thus creation of independent Kosovo with its criminal Albanian gangs begins to make sense – as a part of America’s war against Europe . Alternative route is allegedly carried by Chechens via Grozny where an almost independent warlord Kadyrov has his own customs clearance for entry into the Russian market. President Obama is just a supreme heroin pusher, but the same can be said about Queen Victoria , for in 19th century plucky Brits twice fought wars for harvest, production and delivery of opium. Perhaps this war is the latest in the series of the Opium Wars? It should come as no surprise that the biggest opium-growing regions are Helmand and Kandahar provinces, the Taliban strongholds where so much of the war is being fought. The opium crop employs from 1.6 million to 2.4 million Afghan citizens - as much as 8 percent of the country's 28.4 million people. After President George W. Bush spent 3 years trying to "eradicate" the crop, the opium acreage increased by 61 percent and the value of the crop increased by about one-third, the Washington Post reported in 2006. Opium pays Afghan farmers 12 times as much as food crops. They can't grow food in opium country as easily as they can grow opium. Growing opium may be the best thing that land can be used for. History seems to indicate that. Those two poor, devastated provinces could supply the entire world with nearly all of a drug that the world needs - legally. The entire world needs about 5,000 tons of opium a year for painkillers, according to those semi-reliable sources. Afghanistan is expected to produce 6,900 tons this year, and the wholesale price for opium today, according to Reuters, is $64 a kilo, or $64,000 a metric ton. At that price, United States could buy Afghanistan 's entire opium harvest this year for $442 million. It costs US $1 million to keep a single U.S. soldier in Afghanistan for a year. With 53,000 U.S. troops in country now, that's $53 billion a year. That's why they need to close the deal fast, that's why they're negotiaing with the enemy.Ethnic Albanian criminal gangs continue to pose a serious security threat, dominating the transit and supply of heroin to Switzerland, warns a federal police expert. (source: ISN Security Watch) According to the Vienna-based United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), Switzerland has historically been singled out as one of the countries most affected by ethnic Albanian heroin trafficking, due to the large expatriate population. There were an estimated 94,000 Albanian-speakers in Switzerland in 2000. In the late 1990s, Albanians were blamed for trafficking some 70 to 90 percent of Switzerland's heroin supply into the country. Ethnic Albanian criminal gangs built up a reputation as effective traffickers as they were violent and clannish with a language nobody else could understand and had an honor code similar to the Sicilian mafia. Southeastern Europe lies along the most conventional route - the so-called Balkan route - between the supplier of some 90 percent of the world's heroin, Afghanistan, and its most lucrative consumer market, western Europe. Kosovo's independence proclamation by the Albanian secessionist administration in Pristina in February 2008, follows a course that was drafted back in March 1999 when NATO started a war against Serbia. Kosovo is viewed as a region that is under the tight grip of organized crime and corruption which spans through he entire social and political sphere. The current leadership under Hashim Thaci is to emerge from the unholy alliance of traffickers in the region and the UCK. Pristina government has always been subject to the power of the Mafiosi who were the largest donors of the KLA rebels and want to keep the region in their own sphere of influence. German intelligence service in 2005, described the former Prime Minister of Kosovo Ramous Haradinaj as related «in drug trafficking, extortion and protection business». Reliable and highly informed sources at the Institute for European Policy, based in Germany, in a 2007 last report, commissioned for the German Armed Forces, indicated that the three leading Kosovo politicians, Ramush Haradinaj, Hashim Thaci and Xhavit Haliti are «Persons protected by the international community although they are deeply involved in all of these affairs». In a Pan-European level perhaps two-thirds of the heroin sold in the streets it is being distributed by Albanian criminal syndicates which are mostly established in Kosovo. Further another crucial element is the existence of a strong Albanian-American lobby in the U.S. East Coast which is interlinked with the still powerful American-Italian Mafia and quite a few mainstream politicians and bureaucrats. This lobby is also a small part of the wider nexus between Pakistan-Saudi Arabia-Turkey business lobbies n Washington that have managed to pursue high politics mainly in the Pentagon and the State Department through the use of retired American Generals and diplomats, attaining great influence even at the expense of the national interests of the USA. According to the U.S. law, "US Foreign Assistance Act of 1961", aid is prohibited to any country or organization that it is involved in drug trafficking. It is noteworthy to emphasize the involvement of the DEA at this point. Until March 1999 it followed a clear-cut policy of repression against the Kosovo related drug crime, but a month before the NATO bombing it pulled down from its own website references connected to Kosovo...NATO bombing of Serbia, "the Kosovan War" allowed the place (rebel Serbian province) to become a centre of drug activity for the European market. So called "Kosovans" (muslim albanian population of Kosovo and Metohija) had a reputation for smuggling, but mafias there were eager to be involved in supplying the European market and could offer safe storage and a network of smugglers and wholesale dealers in the UK. They also used the refugee crisis to take advantage of this. If Afghanistan was a War to fight Terrorism - it begs the question - who is benefiting from the billions in drug revenues? In one War (Kosovo) a massive European safe haven for traffickers is created as the CIA court drug mafias linked with 'freedom fighters'. In Columbia - Right wing paramilitaries work hand in hand with drug cartels. In Afghanistan, the CIA again courted people involved in the drug trade masquerading as freedom fighters - the 'Northern Alliance' rise to power has seen the old poppy farming come back with a vengeance. It's almost as if the USA is creating the very conditions the drug trade needs to prosper. Some would point to the ease in which drug ravaged communities can be controlled by the state. The consequence of the USA involvement in its wars has been to create a free market for drugs. Was that the intent or just an accident?Organized Crime in KosovoSubscribe in a reader

Democracy in America is a Useful FictionCorporate forces carried out a coup d’état in slow motion. The coup is over. We lost. The corporate state is firmly cemented in place. Democracy in America is a useful fiction. There is no national institution left that can accurately be described as democratic. Citizens, rather than participate in power, are allowed to have virtual opinions to preordained questions, a kind of participatory fascism as meaningless as voting on “American Idol.” Barack Obama is a brand, he has no power. Hollywood, the news industry and television, all corporate controlled, have become instruments of inverted totalitarianism. They censor or ridicule those who critique or challenge corporate structures. Liberals, socialists, trade unionists, independent journalists and intellectuals, many of whom were once important voices in our society, have been silenced or targeted for elimination within corporate-controlled academia, the media and government. The uniformity of opinion is reinforced by the skillfully orchestrated mass emotions of nationalism and patriotism, which paints all dissidents as “soft” or “unpatriotic.” The “patriotic” citizen, plagued by fear of job losses and possible terrorist attacks, unfailingly supports widespread surveillance and the militarized state. The civic, patriotic and political language we use to describe ourselves remains unchanged. We pay fealty to the same national symbols and iconography. We find our collective identity in the same national myths. We continue to deify the Founding Fathers. But the America we celebrate is an illusion. It does not exist. Our government and judiciary have no real sovereignty. Our press provides diversion, not information. Our organs of security and power keep us as domesticated and as fearful as most Iraqis. Capitalism, as Karl Marx understood, when it emasculates government, becomes a revolutionary force. And this revolutionary force, best described as inverted totalitarianism, is plunging us into a state of neo-feudalism, perpetual war and severe repression...Wall Street Will Be Back for MoreCorporations, which control the levers of power in government and finance, promote and empower the psychologically maimed. Those who lack the capacity for empathy and who embrace the goals of the corporation—personal power and wealth—as the highest good succeed. Those who possess moral autonomy and individuality do not. They play their games of high finance as if the rest of us do not exist. And it is a game that will kill us. The corporation decides who has value and who does not, who advances and who is left behind. It rewards the most compliant, craven and manipulative, and discards the losers who can’t play the game, those who do not accumulate wealth or status fast enough, or who fail to fully subsume their individuality into the corporate collective. It dominates the internal and external lives of its employees, leaving them without time for family or solitude—without time for self-reflection—and drives them into a state of perpetual nervous exhaustion. This hazing process eliminates from the system most of those with backbone, fortitude and dignity. The employees who advance are skilled drones, often possessed of a peculiar kind of analytical intelligence and drive, but morally, emotionally and creatively crippled. Their intellect is narrow and inhibited. They rely on the corporation, as they once relied on their high-priced elite universities and their SAT scores, for validation. They demand that they not be treated as individuals but as members of the great collective of Goldman Sachs or AIG or Citibank. They talk together. They exchange information. They make deals. They compromise. They debate. But they do not think. They are deaf, dumb and blind to the common good. How you make money and how you climb the ladder of the corporate structure are irrelevant. Success becomes its own morality. Those who do well in this environment possess the traits often exhibited by psychopaths—superficial charm, grandiosity and self-importance, a need for constant stimulation, a penchant for lying, deception and manipulation, and the incapacity for remorse or guilt. They, like competitors on a reality television program, lie, cheat and betray to climb over those around them and advance. These deeply stunted and maladjusted individuals, from Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner to Robert Rubin to Lawrence Summers to the heads of Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, J.P. Morgan Chase and Bank of America, hold the fate of the nation in their hands. They have access to trillions of taxpayer dollars and are looting the U.S. Treasury to sustain reckless speculation. The financial and corporate system alone validates them. It defines them. It must be served. This is why we will endure another catastrophic financial collapse. This is why firms like Goldman Sachs are more dangerous to the nation than al-Qaida.These corporations don’t make anything. They don’t produce anything. They gamble and bet and speculate. And when they lose vast sums they raid the U.S. Treasury so they can go back and do it again.Globalization Goes BankruptThe leaders of the G-20 are meeting to try and salvage their power and money after everything that has gone wrong. This is what those meetings are about.The draconian security measures put in place are disproportionate to any actual security concern. They are a response not to a real threat, but to the fear gripping the established centers of power. The power elite grasps, even if we do not, the massive fraud and theft being undertaken to save a criminal class on Wall Street. They know the awful cost this plundering of state treasuries will impose on workers, who will become a permanent underclass. And they also know that once this is clear to the rest of us, rebellion will no longer be a foreign concept. Our global economy, like our political system, has been hijacked by a tiny oligarchy, composed mostly of wealthy white men who serve corporations. They have pledged or raised a staggering $18 trillion, looted largely from state treasuries, to prop up banks and other financial institutions that engaged in suicidal acts of speculation and ruined the world economy. They have formulated trade deals so corporations can speculate across borders with currency, food and natural resources. The wealthiest governments use institutions such as the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank and the World Trade Organization like pit bulls to establish economic supremacy. There is little that most governments seem able to do to fight back. But the game is up. The utopian dreams of globalization have been exposed as a sham. Force is all the elite have left. We are living through one of civilization’s great seismic reversals. The ideology of globalization, like all utopias that are sold as inevitable and irreversible, has become a farce. The power elite, perplexed and confused, cling to the disastrous principles of globalization and its outdated language to mask the political and economic vacuum before us. We have reached the terminal stage. No one will save us now but ourselves. The best thing that happened to the Establishment is the election of a black president. It will contain people for a given period of time, but time is running out. The recovery is only a recovery for Wall Street. It can’t be sustained, and Obama will be blamed for it. He is doing everything Wall Street demands. But this will be a dead end. It is a prescription for disaster, not only for Obama but the Democratic Party.

Al-Qaeda is training new fighters that "look western" and could easily cross U.S. borders. Islamic terrorist with European features are based in Bosnia and Kosovo. "In Bosnia and Herzegovina today al-Qaeda is in a strategic planning phase. This means that, among such potentials - and it is likely that there are 100,000 such believers - you can find five people... to hang bombs on their belts and bring in explosives," says Dzevad Galijasevic, chairman of the New Democratic Party in Bosnia and an author of the recently published book The Era of Terrorism in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The international community does not attach a high level of importance to the presence of 'White al-Qaeda' because Bosnia is not the target of terrorist activities. It is clear that the al-Qaeda cells in Bosnia are waiting for EU accession; thus, this white, European physiognomy and anthropology - the so-called 'white al-Qaeda' - can in fact be the most fatal for Europe, while Bosnia-Herzegovina is an insignificant target for al-Qaeda. In August of 2007, US diplomat Raffi Gregorian said in an interview for a Sarajevo daily that al-Qaeda uses Bosnia as a transit point but labeled the local Bosnian Muslims not as "sleeper" cells but as "helper" cells. "There are sympathizers in the country who are ready to help al-Qaeda with hiding agents, providing financial support or providing false documents," said Gregorian, the principal deputy to Miroslav Lajcak who was the top international administrator of Bosnia. The al-Qaeda has enjoyed protection and support from the highest ranks of the Bosniak political and intelligence establishment but blames the existence of the Serb Republic as the real threat to Europe. 1,250 of al-Qaeda members have domiciled in Bosnia, got married with locals and enjoy political protection. In 2004, Abdurahman Khadr, the son of the killed Pakistani al-Qaeda operative Ahmed Said Khadr, says that the CIA helped him settle in Bosnia and asked him to spy on the the largest Mosques in Sarajevo, the King Fahd mosque, ran by a local Bosnian Muslim Imam Nezim Halilovic Muderis known for extremist preaching. At the Sarajevo Mosque, Abdurahman became friendly with a Bosnian Muslim recruiter for al-Qaeda operations in Iraq. Islamist activities such as these are pushing the Bosnian Muslims into a whirlpool of problems of other Islamic countries and are moving Bosnia closer to Palestine rather then their Christian neighbors, Serbs and Croats. It is turning Muslims' true historical brothers, Serbs and Croats, into eternal and irreconcilable enemies...While the United States is relentlessly bombing Afghanistan with the official aim of getting Osama bin Laden, one of bin Laden's top collaborators is running a terrorist training camp in an area of Kosovo that is under U.S. control. The shocking revelation has been confirmed by multiple sources: Macedonian intelligence agencies, as reported by several Macedonian media, including the leading daily Dnevnik; Russian press agencies, including Novosti and ItarTass; and the London Independent. If the Anglo-Americans are at "war" with bin Laden's terrorism, why are bin Laden operatives active in Kosovo in an area totally controlled by NATO? Furthermore, in the U.S. zone in Kosovo? Investigations on the bin Laden connection into the Balkans and Kosovo could, according to experts, lead to even more explosive truths. The Independent reported on Oct. 21. 2001 that Interpol has linked bin Laden to Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) crime gangs, and that he "supplied one of his top military commanders for an elite KLA unit" in Kosovo. Beyond that, these extremists are out to re-ignite the ethnic "Clash of Civilizations" in the Balkans, to crush the escalating resistance of Macedonia and to continue the march of destruction, possibly triggering in the near future, an ethnic upheaval in Greece or Bulgaria. This opens up a dramatic contradiction. That contradiction throws light on the virtual reality the world has been propelled into after the Sept. 11 attacks.Osama bin Laden’s Al Qaeda and other terrorist groups are present in the Balkans and planning to increase their activity there. Al Qaeda has strongholds in Kosovo, northern Albania... and they are active in western Macedonia. All areas are heavily populated by ethnic Albanians, who are predominantly Muslim. The strategic aim of the Muslim extremists in the area is to create an Islamic state in the Balkans. The radical Muslim game plan in the former Yugoslavia, which was evident from the mid 1990s has now been realized by what is perhaps George Bush's most serious foreign policy error, the recognition of an illegal and radical Muslim state in East Central Europe - Kosovo. As has been the case in most of America's blunders regarding radical Islam, the United States embarked upon this disastrous path under the Clinton administration. The Islamist penetration into the Balkans especially Kosovo should be alarming to anyone concerned over the growing threat of Islamic jihad. Throughout the region radical Muslims, originally led by Alija Izetbegovic (bosnian muslim leader) began consolidating their power in the 1990s. During this period and leading into the Balkan civil wars tens of thousands of foreign mujahideen fighters entered coming from places as disparate as Northern Africa, Iran and Saudi Arabia. So out in the open was this operation that in the mid 1990s bin-Laden had an office in Sarajevo. The network included a major business enterprise in Cyprus; a "services" branch in Zagreb; an office of the Benevolencen International Foundation in Sarajevo, which supported the Bosnian Muslims in their conflict with Serbia and Croatia." A study by the London Institute for International Strategic Studies revealed that, "the total number of Islamic terrorists who served in the "Bosnian Army" since the beginning of the civil war is about 40000. A number of the 911 hijackers had cycled through Bosnia including 911 mastermind Khalid Sheik Mohammed along with Nawaw al Hazmi and Khalid al-Mihdhar. The latter two being among the first selected by bin-Laden to execute the plot. As Dr. Shaul Shay, a colonel in the Israeli Army and a recognized expert on Islamic radicalism, states, "In the beginning the main purpose was to help the local Muslims in the war against the Serbians. When the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina ended, terrorist infrastructures remained there and served as a basis for the Islamic terror activities in Kosovo. Today, the Balkans serve as a forefront on European soil for Islamic terror organizations, which exploit this area to promote their activities in Western Europe, and other focal points worldwide." Now, why has the West recognized Kosovo (a renegade province of Serbia) diplomatically, when by all accounts it will serve as a launching pad for terrorist operations against Western Europe? militant islam monitoral qaeda helped kosovo rebelsKLA rebels trained in terrorist campsSubscribe in a reader

From time to time United States of America decide to destroy lives of millions of people around the Globe. They imagine a problem, then create an even bigger one and then try to drag the rest of the World into it so they could get out. Everybody knows it's wrong. Some countries try to avoid the pressure and others just like to kiss their butts and lick their balls... United Kingdom for example and Tony The American Puppet Blair especially.The date for the public hearing of former Prime Minister Tony Blair has been announced… by the Iraq Inquiry… Mr Blair will appear for a full day’s session on Friday 29th January 2010. Here are some of the questions that the Inquiry should ask Tony Blair:When, and with whom, did you make any agreement to consider formally committing UK forces towards any prospective invasion of Iraq? When did you first personally decide that British armed forces would indeed take part in the US-led invasion of Iraq? Was the matter of upholding the UN Iraq disarmament resolutions the only reason for committing UK forces against Saddam Hussein’s regime in Iraq? When did you first seek advice about the legality of taking military action to enforce the authority of United Nations resolutions regarding Iraq? Who did you seek this advise from? What was your understanding of the legal position regarding the invasion of Iraq? On 3 April 2002, you told NBC news “We know that he [Saddam Hussein] has stockpiles of major amounts of chemical and biological weapons.”How do you justify this statement? Why did you lie? Was it because of the money? When did you start having those wet dreams about Bush?...Tony Blair’s record of bombing nations to enforce his “values” and “liberate” his victims did not begin in Iraq in 2003.Although he heartily enforced the murderous sanctions levied against Iraq following the end of the first Gulf War, sanctions that denied basic humanitarian supplies to innocent civilians and resulted in many thousands of deaths, his first large scale military aggression fell on Serbia, once a federal unit of Yugoslavia. With Blair’s full support NATO launched a 78 day blitz against Serbia in 1999. Blair’s justification for sending his bombers against Serbian cities and towns was that Serbs were committing state sanctioned “genocide” against ethnic Albanians in the breakaway province of Kosovo. Blair went as far as to draw comparisons with the Holocaust of World War II. The media dutifully played its role in supporting Blair’s agenda, a service it would repeat when it came time to bomb Iraq four years later and then Afghanistan.If Slobodan Milosevic (murdered at the Hague Tribunal in the lack of evidence) was a war criminal then what would you call Tony, Clinton, Bush and their brothers in arms around the world?...who the f*** is tony blair? tony the war criminal the crimes, the lies, the corruptionarrestBlair.orgSubscribe in a reader

Jewish American historian and son of survivors of the Warsaw ghetto and concentration camps, Norman Finkelstein in his explosive new book, "The Holocaust Industry: Reflections on the Exploitation of Jewish Suffering", accuses those who exploit the Holocaust of telling lies and of naked greed. He argues that the ruthless industrialisation of the Holocaust has encouraged the rebirth of anti-semitism in Europe and the United States. The headquarters of the Holocaust Industry, are in the USA, with the World Jewish Congress (WJC) or the Jewish Claims Conference (JCC). He says the holocaust is an ideological construction, that originally served the interests of the Jewish elite in America and has now degenerated into a money making instrument. It has become a extortion racket. "If everyone who claims to be a survivor actually is one," my mother used to exclaim, "who did Hitler kill?".Neither Finkelstein's book nor this blog in any way excuses the actions of the Nazis, who were eventually responsible for one of the greatest horrors ever to afflict Europe. Awareness of the depravity exhibited by those who ran the Nazi state and the Nazi extermination campaigns should be part of any person's education, and should never be forgotten although this should not be used as an excuse to ignore other campaigns of genocide against non-Jewish peoples equally deserving of the term "holocaust". Norman Finkelstein has caused a storm on both sides of the Atlantic and it is not hard to see why: he says the Holocaust has been exploited to extort cash from Switzerland, Germany and any other country which can be tarred with the Nazi brush. In the early 1950s, Germany entered into negotiations with Jewish institutions and signed indemnification agreements. It has paid out to date some $60bn. Modern-day Germany has already atoned for the sins of the Nazi era, both morally and financially. Many times since the war (and even today) Germany's leaders have expressed their profound regret at the actions of the Nazis, and have accepted collective responsibility for what happened. He argues directly that today's Holocaust Industry is not truly concerned with obtaining compensation for "needy holocaust survivors," noting that very little of the recently extracted "compensation" has reached its nominal beneficiaries. Instead, the industry's concern today lies with winning compensation for law firms, consultants, politicians, Holocaust organizations, and industry elites. "When Jewish elites rob Jewish survivors no ethical issues arise; it's just about the money". But that's not all. Every time Israel goes to war against poor stone throwing civilians, Holocaust WW2 comes as an excuse (Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and Iran all major threats to the very existence of state of Israel). Criticism of Israel is not allowed and it is often called anti-semitimism. It's a taboo! It's not only the hypocrisy of those profiting from the Holocaust industry — the hypocrisy of the United States in this affair stinks to high heaven. Finkelstein writes: Like Switzerland, the US denied entry to Jewish refugees fleeing Nazism before and during the second world war. Yet the US government hasn't seen fit to compensate them. The US refuses even to consider the question of compensation to African-Americans for having enslaved their ancestors, reduced them and their descendants to poverty and misery, and denied black Americans their human rights during most of the history of the US. And if we're talking genocide, let's not forget the genocide perpetrated by the US against the original inhabitants of the land (almost all of the continental US) siezed by the US government. How many indigenous American Indian families broken and destroyed? How many millions slaughtered? ... But will the US government consider compensation for survivors of this genocide? No. What about Iraq and Afghanistan?Subscribe in a reader

by Amy GoodmanThe tragedy of the Haitian earthquake continues to unfold, with slow delivery of aid, the horrific number of amputations performed out of desperate medical necessity, more than a million homeless, perhaps 240,000 dead, hunger, dehydration, the emergence of infections and waterborne diseases, and the approach of the rainy season, which will be followed by the hurricane season. Haiti has suffered a massive blow, an earthquake for which its infrastructure was not prepared, after decades—no, centuries—of military and economic manipulation by foreign governments, most notably the United States and France. Haiti was a slave plantation controlled by France. In 1804, inspired by Toussaint L’Ouverture (after whom the now barely functioning airport in Port-au-Prince is named), the slaves rebelled, founding the world’s first black republic. Under military threat from France in 1825, Haiti agreed to pay reparations to France for lost “property,” including slaves that French owners lost in the rebellion. It was either agree to pay the reparations or have France invade Haiti and reimpose slavery. Many Haitians believe that original debt, which Haiti dutifully paid through World War II, committed Haiti to a future of poverty that it has never been able to escape. (While France, as part of the deal, recognized Haiti’s sovereignty, slave-owning politicians in the United States, like Thomas Jefferson, refused to recognize the black republic, afraid it would inspire a slave revolt here. The U.S. withheld formal recognition until 1862.) The U.S. Marines occupied Haiti from 1915 until 1934. In 1956, Francois “Papa Doc” Duvalier took control in a military coup and declared himself president for life, initiating a period of brutal, bloody dictatorship, with U.S. support. Papa Doc died in 1971, at which point his 19-year-old son, Jean-Claude “Baby Doc” Duvalier, took over, maintaining the same violent dictatorial control until he was driven into exile by popular revolt in 1986. Jubilee USA, a network calling for elimination of debt owed by poor countries, estimates that Baby Doc alone diverted at least $500 million in public funds to his private accounts, and that 45 percent of Haiti’s debt in recent decades was accumulated during the corrupt reign of the Duvaliers.Loans from the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) imposed “structural adjustment” conditions on Haiti, opening its economy to cheap U.S. agricultural products. Farmers, unable to compete, stopped growing rice and moved to the cities to earn low wages, if they were lucky enough to get one of the scarce sweatshop jobs. People in the highlands were driven to deforest the hills, converting wood into salable charcoal, which created an ecological crisis—destabilizing hillsides, increasing the destructiveness of earthquakes and causing landslides during the rainy season. Haiti’s first democratically elected president was Jean-Bertrand Aristide, a Catholic priest committed to the poor. He was elected in 1990, then ousted in a military coup in 1991. In 1994, with Haitian refugees flooding into Florida, the Clinton administration was forced to restore Aristide to power, but only with additional structural-adjustment demands. Aristide was re-elected in 2000, only to be deposed again in a U.S.-backed coup in 2004, Haiti’s bicentennial.The destruction of Haiti’s rice industry, which was replaced with U.S. government-subsidized rice that Haitians refer to as “Miami rice,” as well as the sale of critical state-owned enterprises, like Haiti’s sole flour mill and cement factory, have left the country dependent on foreign trade and aid, keeping Haiti at a permanent disadvantage.It is critical now to cancel Haiti’s ongoing foreign debt, so that the country can devote its scant resources to rebuilding and not to repaying debt. The G-7 finance ministers met in Canada this week and announced the forgiveness of the bilateral debt between member states and Haiti. But the World Bank, IMF and IDB debts remain (the IMF controversially promised a $100 million loan after the earthquake, eliciting condemnation, and has since pledged to convert it to a grant).Earthquakes alone do not create disasters of the scale now experienced in Haiti. The wealthy nations have for too long exploited Haiti, denying it the right to develop in a secure, sovereign, sustainable way. The global outpouring of support for Haitians must be matched by long-term, unrestricted grants of aid, and immediate forgiveness of all that country’s debt. Given their role in Haiti’s plight, the United States, France and other industrialized nations should be the ones seeking forgiveness.Amy Goodman is the host of “Democracy Now!,” a daily international TV/radio news hour airing on more than 800 stations in North America.

In a vote that displayed a widespread anxiety about Islam and undermined the country’s reputation for religious tolerance, the Swiss on Sunday overwhelmingly imposed a national ban on the construction of minarets, in a referendum drawn up by the far right and opposed by the government. Earlier this month, France considered whether to ban Muslim women from wearing full-face veils. Of 150 mosques or prayer rooms in Switzerland, only 4 have minarets, and only 2 more minarets were planned and none are used for the call to prayer because of strict noise-pollution rules. The vote in favor of the ban is a surprise in a country that prides itself on integrating immigrants, and where about a fifth of the population are foreigners. There are about 400,000 Muslims in a population of some 7.5 million people. Close to 90 percent of Muslims in Switzerland are from Kosovo and Turkey. Albanians have migrated to Switzerland since 1960s, many of them migrated from Kosovo. 45 000 albanians migrated to Switzerland from Macedonia. Once the war had reached Kosovo, ethnic Albanians were added to the list of nationals qualifying for refugee status. Since it was impossible to tell Kosovar Albanians from the rest, gangsters took advantage of the situation and spread quickly throughout Europe, first going to Albanian communities in Germany and Switzerland and taking over the heroin trade there. People's Party leader Walter Wobman said the group will now fight to ban the burqa as well as to institute a law against forced marriage. They said that the minarets were not architectural features with religious characteristics, but symbolised a political-religious claim to power, which challenges fundamental rights. The Swiss government feared a yes vote would spark a backlash, and Swiss diplomats have quietly been reassuring leaders in Muslim countries that the government opposed the referendum. About 7%, or 14.5 billion Swiss francs ($14.4 billion), of Swiss exports go to Muslim countries. Wait, that's not all, swiss leaders now call for ban on separate Jewish and Muslim cemeteries as well.So, Europeans have no problem with recognizing new Muslim states all over the Balkans (Bosnia, Kosovo...) but when it is about Muslims at home, then it's a different story. Serbia, for example, has been defending Europe and christianity from Islam since 14th century. Serbs were portraited as fascists while fighting their own "war on terror" and Al-Qaeda in Kosovo. They were severely punished for it, but islamophobia is now ok in 21st century Europe. What happened to democracy, freedom of religion and human rights? Subscribe in a reader

Srbija će vakcine protiv svinjskog gripa kupiti od firme "Novartis" po ceni od 8 eur po dozi, novcem iz budžeta tj. novcem poreskih obveznika tj. vašim novcem. Idealan biznis: Kako prodati proizvod koji će svi ljudi na planeti morati da kupe? Ubediti sve ljude na svetu da kupe baš vaš proizvod je naravno nemoguće, ubediti Vlade svih zemalja na svetu da to učine u ime naroda je užasno težak ali izvodljiv zadatak. Samo, taj proizvod mora biti nešto što je svima u datom trenutku apsolutno neophodno. To se upravo dešava. Proizveli su novi virus, raspršili ga po celom svetu, proizveli "lek", prodali ga celom svetu. Sigurna zarada koja se meri bilionima. Ko se sme buniti kada je kupovina tog proizvoda u interesu zdravlja ili čak opstanka nacije (a zdravlje nema cenu)? Svi su primetili kojom brzinom je nova vakcina proizvedena. Svaka čast? Ne baš, Baxter International je podneo patent za H1N1 vakcinu 28. Avgusta 2008! Vakcina je proizvedena pre pojave gripa. Ogromne količine vakcine su spremne daleko pre predviđene jesenje pandemije. Vakcina se u većini zemalja uvozi po ubrzanoj proceduri i bez ikakvih provera. Dijagnoza se više ne vrši proverom u laboratoriji, ukoliko imate simptome gripa oni se automatski proglašavaju simptomima svinjskog gripa! Tako su na primer, ovih dana u Americi pravi podaci izašli na videlo i pokazalo se da je samo četvrtina od ukupno prijavljenih slučajeva zaraženih novim virusom, zapravo bilo zaraženo. Naravno, demanti ne dolazi tako brzo na naslovne strane kao udarna prva vest da ima hiljade i hiljade zaraženih, što sve doprinosi masovnoj histeriji i pomami za vakcinom. Ubrzane procedure služe da vam ne daju mogućnost da razmislite, da ne daju prostora za proveru šta se nalazi u vakcini. Registracija vakcine u Srbiji bi mogla da se završi po ubrzanom postupku, jer će Agencija za lekove zbog epidemiološke situacije prihvatiti dokumentaciju Evropske agencije za lekove o registraciji vakcina. Na taj način postupak će biti ubrzan, pa će umesto 270 dana registracija trajati samo 14. Svetska Zdravstvena Organizacija (WHO) preporučuje da se više ne vrše testiranja na H1N1 virus, već da se svaki slučaj zaraze gripom tretira kao H1N1 slučaj /članak (LA Times eng). Ptičji, Meksički ili svinjski grip je najnovi proizvod velikih laboratorija. Veštački grip je samo alat da bi smo bili naterani da primimo vakcinu - NIJE VAŽAN GRIP NEGO VAKCINACIJA. Trenutno su u upotrebi tri vakcine. Najmanje neželjenih dejstava postiže se takozvanom split vakcinom, napravljenom od razbijene virusne čestice ali kada vam preti opasnost od masovnog obolevanja, a vakcina vam nije dostupna, onda za decu i ozbiljno bolesne ljude uvezete split vakcinu, a za ostale vakcinu sa takozvanim adjuvansima sa 3,5 mikrograma antigena i nosačima i pojačivačima, ali i mrtvu, celovirusnu sa 7,5 mikrograma antigena. Vakcina protiv Svinjskog gripa sadrži užasno opasne stvari — jedna se zove thimerosol. U njegovom sastavu je 50% žive. Thimeresol se veže na receptore u mozgu i zapravo, uzrokuje oštećenja mozga. Drugi opasni sastojak Vakcine protiv Svinjskog gripa zove se squalene. Squalene vara vaš imuno sistem da počne da ubija vaše sopstvene ćelije, što stvara auto-imune bolesti kao što su astma, multipla scelerosis, dijabetes, i hrpu drugih bolesti za koje još nemamo naziv. Od ostalih sastojaka tu su još i polysorbate 80, beta propiolactone, sodium deoxycholate, neomycin sulfate, formaldehyde, sodium phosphate i drugo (sastojci koji, između ostalog, mogu da izazovu povišenu temperaturu, povraćanje, dijareju, mučninu, bol u mišićima, crvenilo, glavobolju, umor, rak ćelija, epilepsiju i mentalnu retardiranost pa čak i smrt).Austrijska novinarka, Jane Bürgermeister, je podnela tužbu Američkom federalnom istražnom birou u kojem optužuje Svetsku Zdravstvenu Organizaciju (WHO), Ujedinjene Nacije, Baraka Obamu, porodicu Rockefeller i porodicu Rothschild, da sprovode zaveru kojoj je krajnji cilj da se populacija zemlje vakciniše smrtonosnom vakcinom protiv svinjskog gripa. Ona tvrdi da je ptičji-svinjski-meksički grip proizveden u laboratoriji i pušten među narod sa ciljem masovnog ubistva putem vakcinacije. Njena optužnica se zove "Dokazi Bio-Terorizma" (Bioterrorism Evidence). Međunarodni kriminalni sindikat, koji ima svoje ljude na visokim položajima na svim nivoima (i u svim državama koje pripadaju WHO), namerava da sprovede masovni genocid protiv čovečanstva, korišćenjem veštačkog (genetski manipulisanog) gripa i da programom nasilne vakcinacije izazove masovni genocid. Mnoge organizacije: Svetska Zdravstvena Organizacija, UN, kao i proizvođači vakcina Baxter i Novartis, su deo jedinstvenog kriminalnog sistema pod kontrolom centralne kriminalne grupe koja upravlja događajima i koja finansira razvoj, proizvodnju i "oslobađanje" veštačkog virusa u cilju opravdavanja masovne vakcinacije biološkim oružjem u cilju eliminacije velikog dela čovečanstva. Motiv ovog zločina je klasična pljačka koju prati ubistvo na nivou nezabeleženom u istoriji. Centralna kriminalna grupa definiše svoje ciljeve i prioritete u tajnosti u organizacijama kao što su Trilateralna Komisija (Trilateral Commission), i na godišnjem "Bilderberg" sastanku. Kakva postoji veza između medija, širenja panike i proizvođača vakcina? Pa na primer, James Murdoch, sin Rupert Murdoch-a (medijskog magnata) je među direktorima jednog od proizvođača vakcine, firme GlaxoSmithKline. Možda tu postoji mali sukob interesa, nemam pojma. Firma Baxter je "greškom" poslala uzorke zaražene novim virusom, proizvođačima sezonske vakcine (u 16 laboratorija na 4 kontinenta). Greška je utvrđena na vreme tako da je izbegnuta prava pandemija početkom ove godine. Izvršni direktor firme Novartis, Daniel Vassella bio je prisutan na Bilderberg skupu svetskih lidera iz senke u Atini, maja ove godine. David Rockefeller sa svojim moćnim partnerima na Wall Street-u, uključujući medijskog magnata Rupert Murdock-a, Mortimer Zuckerman-a, Thomas Glocer-a, i bivšeg predsedavajućeg borda direktora Federal Reserve Bank of New York, Jerry Speyer-a, stoji iza ovog globalnog genocida u povoju. Oni kontrolišu biotehnološka istraživanja i razvoj na globalnom nivou, oni kontrolišu medije, šire masovnu histeriju i reklamiraju svoje proizvode... Ja ipak, neću ići tako daleko i reći da je vakcina smrtonosna i da joj je svrha sprovođenje cilja Globalne Tajne Elite, da se svetska populacija "smanji na prihvatljivu meru". Samo želim reći da je (ne)opravdana histerija zahvatila planetu pa i našu Srbiju i da ljudi nisu ovce koje bez pogovora vode na šišanje (klanje) i da svako treba da zastane pre bilo kakve odluke i razmisli. Ne verujte svemu što čujete na televiziji kao ni svemu što pročitate na internetu pa tako ni ovom blogu. Ne uzimajte mišljenja raznih "stručnjaka" i organizacija, zdravo za gotovo. Istražujte sami i oslobodite svoj um. Tako biste na primer mogli da naiđete na vest da je u okviru kineske tradicionalne medicine razrađen preparat koji leči od gripa A H1N1 za tri dana, a lek je posebno efikasan kod dece. Kako tvrdi list „Čajna dejli”, deci je često dovoljno da uzmu jednu do dve doze preparata nazvanog „lek protiv prehlade br. 2”. Cena u pekinškim apotekama je šest juana ili nešto manje od dolara.

The current official panic campaign over alleged Swine Flu danger is rapidly taking on the dimensions of a George Orwell science fiction novel.source). So where's the catch? It's simple, just say YES to the vaccine, they made the virus, then the antivirus and now they need to sell it. It is about money, it always is, always was.what is H1N1 (swine flu)? "a new influenza A(H1N1) virus that has never before circulated among humans. This virus is not related to previous or current human seasonal influenza viruses. The severity of the disease ranges from very mild symptoms to severe illnesses that can result in death. The majority of people who contract the virus experience the milder disease and recover without antiviral treatment or medical care. Of the more serious cases, more than half of hospitalized people had underlying health conditions or weak immune systems." / (World Health Organization-WHO)"2009 H1N1 (sometimes called “swine flu”) is a new influenza virus causing illness in people. This new virus was first detected in people in the United States in April 2009. This virus is spreading from person-to-person worldwide, probably in much the same way that regular seasonal influenza viruses spread. Spread of 2009 H1N1 virus is thought to occur in the same way that seasonal flu spreads. Flu viruses are spread mainly from person to person through coughing or sneezing by people with influenza. Sometimes people may become infected by touching something – such as a surface or object – with flu viruses on it and then touching their mouth or nose. Illness with 2009 H1N1 virus has ranged from mild to severe. While most people who have been sick have recovered without needing medical treatment, hospitalizations and deaths from infection with this virus have occurred." / (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention -CDC)"It is a messy combination of sequences from bird, human and swine flu virus lineages from North America and Eurasia. The virus could have been created in a laboratory and released "by accident". Some analysts even suggest, that it was made intentionally as a bioweapon, while others blame the intensive livestock industry and extensive trafficking of live animals over long distances, which provide plenty of opportunity for generating exotic recombinants. " / (Alex Jones - Infowars.com)who makes the vaccine and who will profit?"Influenza vaccines are one of the most effective ways to protect people from contracting illness during influenza epidemics and pandemics. The pandemic influenza is a new virus, and virtually everyone could be infected from it. These vaccines will boost immunity against the new influenza, and help ensure public health as the pandemic evolves. Regulatory authorities have licensed (approved) pandemic vaccines in a number of countries. The length of the approval process depends on factors such as each country's regulatory pathway, the type of vaccine being licensed, and the stage of the manufacturer's readiness to submit appropriate information to regulatory authorities." / (WHO) to name just few:- GlaxoSmithKline (Manufactured MMR vaccine. That vaccine was pulled off the market in Japan after significant numbers of children developed adverse reactions to the vaccine and the Japanese government was forced to pay significant compensation to the victims. In Sweden the MMR vaccine of GlaxoSmithKline was removed after scientists linked it to outbreaks of Crohn’s disease.)- Baxter (a full year before any reported case of the current alleged H1N1, the major pharmaceutical company, Baxter, filed for a patent for H1N1 vaccine containing highly toxic aluminium hydroxide as adjuvant: Baxter Vaccine Patent Application US 2009/0060950 A1.) is it safe? The US Secretary of Health and Human Services, Kathleen Sebelius, has just signed a decree granting vaccine makers total legal immunity from any lawsuits that result from any new “Swine Flu” vaccine. Moreover, the $7 billion US Government fast-track program to rush vaccines onto the market in time for the Autumn flu season is being done without even normal safety testing. Makers of the H1N1 vaccination are refusing to take it, and urging their friends and family to do the same. In just about one case per million vaccinations, a paralyzing neuromuscular disorder, could affect some people who had received swine flu immunizations. So don't worry, be happy, it is 1 in a million chance to stay paralysed. who made a virus? In 1976 President Gerald Ford, facing a difficult re-election campaign, was advised by the head of the CDC, David Sencer, to launch a mass national vaccination. As today with H1N1 Swine Flu, Sencer also used the scare of the alleged 1918 flu pandemic. Notably, some scientific researchers maintain that the deaths during the flu wave of 1918-1919, in the aftermath of the ghastly First World War, came not from any virus but from the governmental campaigns of mass vaccination against “Spanish Flu.” Interestingly, the Rockefeller University and Foundation was in the middle of that event as well. Federal officials vaccinated 40 million Americans during a national campaign. A pandemic never materialized, but thousands who got the shots filed injury claims, as they contracted a paralyzing condition called Guillain-Barre Syndrome or other side effects. At least 25 people died after receiving the vaccine died and 500 developed Guillain-Barre syndrome, an inflammation of the nervous system which can cause paralysis and be fatal. Overall, there were 1098 cases of Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) recorded nationwide by CDC surveillance, 532 of which were linked to the vaccination. The US Government was forced to pay damages after vaccination victims made it a national scandal. In the end the 1976 Swine Flu vaccine proved far worse than the disease... John Hopkins BLOOMBERG school of public health is monitoring your influenza vaccine experience, today. There's a online survey for those who have recieved the influenza vaccine. "If you have not received your influenza vaccine yet, please come back again as soon as you do!" Who's behind it? Rockfellers again! They're everywhere. Just as in the case of famous TAMIFLU there is certain someone who will make big money from the newest vaccine. Get in the line sheeple (sheep people)! Take your medicine, take the shot! Better yet, take 2 or 3 shots. Women and children first. I don't know who (which government laboratory) made a virus and who released it but my guess is: the same people who will profit from it. I just wonder when is enough? What plague from laboratory is next?flutracker - mapSubscribe in a reader

Salvatore Lucania (Lucky Luciano) is considered the father of modern mafia and the mastermind of the massive postwar expansion of the international heroin trade. He was the first official boss of the modern Genovese crime family. He was instrumental in the development of the National Crime Syndicate in the United States. Assassinations became big business thanks to Lucky Luciano. With the help of Bugsy Siegel and Albert Anastasia, Luciano formed Murder Inc., a professional grade killing company staffed mostly with Jewish hitmen. Mobsters in need of a hit simply called Murder Inc and bought themselves some prescreened contract killers. Lucky Luciano wasn't just a mobster and serial killer, he was also an American war hero. But he couldn't achieve all this without help from the U.S. government...

During World War II he helped U.S. naval intelligence "end" waterfront sabotage in New York. The suspicious destruction of the Normandie, a luxury cruise ship being renovated as a troop carrier in New York City, and sabotage on the New York docks prompted Navy intelligence to request assistance from Luciano. Keeping the waterfront free of sabotage was necessary to the war effort since supplies needed by the Allied forces flowed through New York. In fact "Lucky" ordered the sabotage of the docks from his prison cell. U.S. government struck a secret deal with the imprisoned Luciano. U.S. Army Military Intelligence knew that Luciano maintained good connections in the Sicilian and Italian Mafia, which had been severely persecuted by Benito Mussolini. His help was essential in providing Mafia assistance during Operation Avalanche (allied invasion of Italy), and his connections in Italy and Sicily were tapped to ensure an easy passage for U.S. forces involved in the Italian Campaign. Assistant District Attorney from the State of New York, Murray Gurfein, also with the Office of Naval Intelligence, negotiated a deal with Luciano. In exchange for his release, Luciano would convince the Sicilian Mafia to join with the Allied forces during the invasion of Sicily. Luciano dropped a yellow flag from a plane flying over Sicily with his crest and letter "L" to signal friendly faces were approaching. This allowed for the Sicilian Mafia to arise from underground and participate in the liberation of Sicily. Both during and after the war, the U.S. military and intelligence agencies also used Luciano's Mafia connections to root out communist influence in resistance groups and local governments. In return for his cooperation, Luciano was permitted to run his crime empire from his jail cell.In 1946, as a reward for his wartime cooperation, Luciano was paroled on the condition that he depart the United States and return to Sicily. During his exile, Luciano used to meet US military men during train trips throughout Italy, and he enjoyed being recognized by his countrymen, several times taking photos and even signing autographs for them. Luciano's confederates saw him off at the docks with envelopes stuffed with cash, reportedly as much as $100,000 or $150,000. Although Luciano was paroled from prison on the condition that he permanently return to Sicily, he secretly moved to Cuba, where he worked to resume control over American mafia operations. Luciano also ran a number of casinos in Cuba with the sanction of Cuban president General Batista. Batista naturally received a percentage of the profits...

Time magazine has named Lucky Luciano amongst the top 20 most influential builders and titans of the 20th century.Subscribe in a reader

Karzai... thousands of votes were forged to keep him in his country's top position. Fraud happens in a "young democracy", he says. With over 90 per cent of votes counted in Afghanistan's presidential election, President Karzai has won a clear majority, yet Western officials believe as many as one in six votes is tainted by fraud. Afghans loyal to President Hamid Karzai set up hundreds of fictitious polling sites where no one voted but where hundreds of thousands of ballots were still recorded toward the president's re-election, according to senior Western and Afghan officials. The fake voting sites, as many as 800, existed only on paper, hundreds, and in some cases thousands, of votes for Mr Karzai in the election last month came from each of those places. "We think that about 15 per cent of the polling sites never opened on Election Day,' the senior Western diplomat said. 'But they still managed to report thousands of ballots for Karzai.' "Besides creating the fake sites, Mr Karzai's supporters also took over approximately 800 legitimate polling centers and used them to report tens of thousands of additional ballots for Mr Karzai, the officials said." Mr Karzai has had tense meetings with Richard Holbrooke, the US regional envoy, who urged him to face a second round in the disputed elections, and earlier in the year with Joe Biden, the US Vice-President, who walked out of a meeting with him. The United Nations-backed commission serving as the ultimate arbiter of the Afghan elections announced Tuesday that it had found 'clear and convincing evidence of fraud' in a number of polling stations and ordered a partial recount even as election officials declared that President Hamid Karzai had won a majority of the vote.Even before the election, many Afghans were angry with him over his failure to curb a system of corruption and patronage that had paralysed efforts to repair the war-thrashed nation. The international aid community is disheartened by the prospect of another five years of a government that is infested with warlords and drug traffickers. Public opinion in both the US and Europe is tiring of bad news from Afghanistan. President Obama faces questions from both the left and right. What is the point of pouring more troops or billions of dollars into Afghanistan, his critics say, when the Taliban seem to be gaining ground and the money simply vanishes into the baggy pockets of Kabul officials? You just can't bomb a nation into democracy. Iraq and Afghanistan are under occupation, their "officials" are US established puppet governments. Their "elections" are fake, their people are not liberated, they are enslaved. Just call it what it really is! It is not a war on terror, it is a war of terror. Here is Karzai (Mr Fashionqueen), your democratic leader of the free people of liberated Afghanistan and there is your democracy for which you've been fighting for, Amerika...Subscribe in a reader

Muntadhar al-Zeidi, the television reporter jailed for throwing his shoes at George Bush, released from prison. Al-Zeidi had initially been sentenced to three years for assaulting a foreign head of state, but had his sentence reduced to a year on appeal. While throwing his shoes at Bush at a news conference in Baghdad in December 2008, he shouted: "It is the farewell kiss, you dog." According to witnesses, al-Zaidi was "severely beaten" by security officers after he had been dragged out of the room following the shoe-throwing incident. As the man's screaming could be heard outside, Bush said "That’s what people do in a free society, draw attention to themselves." A "large blood trail" could be seen on the carpet where al-Zaidi had been dragged by security agents. "I had the feeling that the blood of innocent people was dropping on my feet during the time that he (Bush) was smiling and coming to say bye-bye to Iraq with a dinner," he told the judge. The authorities had asked his family not to give him a hero's welcome, but people celebrated outside his home in central Baghdad. Al-Zeidi said he had been beaten, whipped and been given electric shocks during his first few days in custody, he was injected with unknown chemical drugs and he suffers from a continuous headache. "I was being tortured in the worst ways, beaten with electric cables and iron bars." He said his guards had also used simulated drowning - the technique of waterboarding used by the US forces on suspects arrested over the September 11, 2001, attacks. "I did this as a revenge for the victims and people killed in Iraq ... now the new US politicians should deal with Arabs properly ... as respectful counterparts not like slaves. I am neither afraid nor regretting what I did." "Today I am free again but my home is still a prison," he added. Muntadhar al-Zaidi suffered a broken hand, broken ribs, internal bleeding, and an eye injury.The reporter, who hails from Iraq's Shiite majority, lived alone in a humble two-bedroom apartment, filled with books on politics and religion, written in both English and Arabic. A portrait of the revolutionary icon Che Guevara hung on one of his walls. His release is a victory for all those who reject the occupation and stand against it.Subscribe in a reader

Einstein had been an advocate of world government as early as october 1914. He acknowledged that such a step would require the unconditional surrender by every nation, in a certain measure, of its liberty of action - its sovereignty. In 1945, he approved the daring project of assembling the Comittee to Frame a World Constitution which openly set forth world government as the goal after international control of atomic energy. He was "sound pacifist". Sound pacifism tries to prevent wars throuh a world order based on power, not throuh a purely passive attitude toward international problems. After Hiroshima, Albert Einstein was filled with a deep sense of responsibility, since it was his theory that had made the atomic bomb possible. " The unleashed power of the atom has changed everything and we thus drift toward unparalleled catastrophe. We scientists who released this immense power have responsibility to harness the atom for the benefit of mankind and not for humanity's destruction." He saw the creation of world government as the final solution to the problem of war. " We must aim at a Federal Constitution of the world, a working world-wide legal order, if we hope to prevent an atomic war." He advocated that three remaining great powers after the second world war - United Staes, Great Britain and USSR initiate the union. "Experiment" was a failure, no cooperation had come from the Soviet Union. The Soviets were afraid that this idea would theatened "Communist social and economic revolution itself". In the face of Soviet opposition to the plan a "federal union of the western democracies (Atlantic Union)" was proposed. Advocates of the "one world" had settled for the "half a world". This new idea led directly to the arms race between two superpowers. A war between East and West seemed to be developing. West came to conclusion that "if world government can't give us peace and freedom, maybe bigger bomb can, the H-bomb". World government dream became the cold war nightmare. Atomic scientists who opened the "Pandora's box" couldn't find the solution to the end of the world scenario. "Because of our inability to solve the problem of international organization, it has actually contributed to the dangers which threaten peace and the very existence of mankind. " Einstein's open letter to the UN, 1947 "...There can never be complete agreement on international control and the administration of atomic energy or on general disarmament until there is a modification of the traditional concept of national sovereignty... the United Nations must act with utmost speed to create the necessary conditions for international security by laying the foundations for a real world government... Nevertheless, we must assume that despite all efforts, Russia and her allies may still find it advisable to stay out of such a world Government. In that case, and only after all efforts have been made in utmost sincerity to obtain the cooperation of Russia and her allies - the other countries would have to proceed alone... IN ORDER to achieve the final aim - which is one world, and not two hostile worlds - such a partial world Government must never act as an alliance against the rest of the world. The only real step toward world government is world Government itself... The United Nations now and world Government eventually must serve one single goal the guarantee of the security, tranquillity, and the welfare of all mankind. "From Einstein’s research of the smallest atomic structure, to the creation of the universe, there is no one study which belongs to simply one country. Einstein called his work “The discovery of the universal harmony and order.” What he discovered was naturally what belongs to all human kind. Einstein was already a real global idealist or global citizen. He never tied himself with the position of any particular country. Einstein’s actions are those of a global idealist and he viewed himself as a global citizen.Albert Einstein has reacted to the news of destruction of Japanese cities, Hiroshima and Nagasaki, with the sad sigh "Oh, weh!" (Alas!). A long life devoted to peace had gone into the making of that sigh... Subscribe in a reader

Aftonbladet, a major Swedish daily newspaper, has printed an article claiming that the Israeli Defense Forces kill Palestinians in order to steal their organs and sell them on the black market. The article named “Our sons plundered for their organs”, quotes Palestinian claims that young men from the West Bank and Gaza Strip had been seized by the Israel Defense Forces, and their bodies returned to the families with missing organs. A diplomatic row between Sweden and Israel has intensified, with Israeli politicians urging Stockholm to condemn a newspaper article. The controversy comes two weeks before Carl Bildt is to visit Israel, with Stockholm currently holding the rotating EU presidency. "If I devoted myself to correcting all the strange claims in the media, I would probably not have time to devote to very much else," said Carl Bildt, the Swedish foreign minister. In the article, Donald Bostrom, a Swedish freelance journalist, writes about the shortage of body parts in Israel and makes references to the so-called New Jersey scandal earlier this summer which involved rabbis, illegal organ trading and money laundering. Bostrom then gives what he says is his own eyewitness account of an Israeli army raid on a Palestinian village in 1992. "What I do is to refer to three things which have actually happened: the boy was shot dead, the autopsy, and the family claiming the body was emptied of organs." Bostrom, who witnessed the man's killing, said Ghanem was taken away by Israeli forces while he was still mortally wounded. His body was returned five days later with a cut in his midsection that had been stitched up. Ghanem's family said they believed that his organs had been removed. Bostrom said he balanced those claims in his article by including a reaction from an Israeli military spokesman who told him that the Israel Defense Forces routinely carries out autopsies on Palestinians killed by their troops. But, as he stated in his article, Bostrom said he has doubts about the necessity of the procedures if it is clear how the person died. The article has sparked outrage in Israel, with scores of ministers and commentators calling it anti-Semitic and reminiscent of mediaeval libels that Jews killed Christian children for their blood. Yuval Steinitz, the Israeli finance minister, said "Those who do not condemn it are not welcome in Israel." He continued: "It makes no difference whether this comes from a neo-Nazi organization or from an honorable newspaper. The Swedish government must renounce itself from this anti-Semitic publication." A spokesman for Israel's interior ministry said it was freezing the issue of entry visas to Swedish journalists. The newspaper commented on its story on Sunday, acknowledging that it had no proof of any organ theft but argued that the story deserved publication because of the issues it raised. I think that story deserves an inquiry, there needs to be an investigation of the claims. Some see it as an attempt by Israel to undermine Sweden's criticism of Israel's occupation of the Palestinian territories. Why is that any criticism of Israeli government actions is immidiately portraied as anti semitism? Any reporter who seeks the truth about Israeli crimes in Palestine or elsewhere in Middle East, is instantly labeled as neo-Nazi. Don't forget the Holocaust and The Old Testament, of course. Jews are endangered species. They have roamed the desert for decades because nobody likes them and they were beeing exterminated in WW II, ok but what that has to do with their crimes against other nations?

HOLOCAUST OF NATIVE AMERICANS Whites have taken their land, killed all their buffaloes, burned their homes and put all Indians in concentration camps. Today they live in ghettos while across their homeland, they are portrayed as racist mascots. They are the FIRST NATION. America was theirs. Columbus did not discover America, nor did the Vikings, it was already populated, 12 to 18 million souls when whites had arrived."What would Spaniards of the sixteenth century have said, had Native Americans landed at Spain's shores and proclaimed to have discovered Europe? The incredible variety of cultures and the impressive achievements Native Americans had developed throughout the millennia was lost. How well known is the fact that most Native Americans were living in towns and villages as farmers, long before Columbus and that the majority of Native societies in Northern America was organized democratically, including women's right to vote, long before such an idea was conceivable to Europeans?" /American Holocaust: Columbus and the Conquest of the New World They've been "relocated" from their homeland, their place of birth. That is called ethnic cleansing. Major Native American resistance took place in the form of "Indian Wars" which were frequent up until 1890s. They were "granted" U.S. citizenship, they didn't want, in 1924. They are the braves but they are not free. Epidemic diseases from Europe, enslavement, genocide and wars have almost wiped them out. Smallpox proved deadly to Native Americans and disease was used as a bio weapon (infected blankets and smallpox vaccines) against them. U.S. government had comitted the most massive act of genocide in the history of the world. The Buffalo HuntMillions of buffalo once roamed North America, grazing the plains and prairies and populating the mountains. Historical documents around the time of Columbus's arrival describe the animals' importance to the indigenous people. According to early explorers, "the plains were black and appeared as if in motion" with buffalo herds. Until the hunters commenced to kill them off, their only enemies were the wolves and coyotes. A medium-sized herd, at that time, dotted the prairie for hundreds of miles, and to guess at the number in a herd was like trying to compute the grains of wheat in a granary. Woven into the fabric of Native American life for millennia, the buffalo was revered and honored. For thousands of Plains Indians—people like the Blackfeet, Gros Ventre, Assiniboin, Crow, Cheyenne, Shoshoni, Arapaho, various Sioux or Dakota people, Comanche, and others—the buffalo was unquestionably paramount. But the buffalo represented more than food. For many it provided over one hundred specific items of material culture. Extermination of the buffalo was an official policy of the US government in order to achieve extermination of the Native Americans, particularly those living in the Western Plains. In order to make migration to the west easier, the US government, through the Army, adopted a policy to exterminate the buffalo. Extermination of the buffalo would inevitably mean the demise of the Indians who so relied on them for almost every aspect of their existence. The Battle of the Wabash 1791It was a major Native American victory, and remains the greatest loss to Native American forces by the United States Army in history, indeed, in proportional terms of losses to strength it was the worst defeat that United States forces have ever suffered in battle. Of the 1,000 troops that General St. Clair led into battle, only 48 escaped unharmed. The 1783 Treaty of Paris, which ended the American Revolutionary War, recognized United States sovereignty of all the land east of the Mississipi River and south of the Great Lakes. The Indian tribes in the Old Northwest, however, were not parties to this treaty, and many of them, especially leaders such as Little Turtle and Blue Jacket, refused to recognize American claims to the area northwest of the Ohio River. President Washington, decided to use military force to pacify the region. At dawn on November 4, St. Clair's force was camped near the present-day location of Fort Recovery, Ohio, near the headwaters of the Wabash River. An Indian force consisting of around 1,000 warriors, led by Little Turtle and Blue Jacket, waited in the woods while the troops stacked their weapons and paraded to their morning meals. The natives then struck quickly and, surprising the Americans, soon overran their perimeter... In 1794, a new U.S. force achieved what St. Clair had not when it decisively defeated the Indians of the Old Northwest at the Battle of Fallen Timbers. The Western Confederacy, which had its roots in pan-tribal movements dating to the 1740s, came together to resist the expansion of the United States. Native Americans stood united to defend their lands against U.S. Army occupation. The Massacre at Bad Axe 1832 /linkThe Battle of the Little Bighorn 1876A remarkable victory for the Lakota and Northern Cheyenne, led by Sitting Bull (Tȟatȟáŋka Íyotake) "Now that we are poor, we are free. No white man controls our footsteps. If we must die, we die defending our rights." . The U.S. Seventh Cavalry, including a column of 700 men led by General Custer, was defeated. Five of the Seventh's companies were annihilated and Custer himself was killed as were two of his brothers, a nephew, and a brother-in-law. White men call it Custer's Last Stand. Modern documentaries suggest that there may not have been a "Last Stand," as traditionally portrayed in popular culture. Instead, archaeologists suggest that, in the end, Custer's troops were not surrounded but rather overwhelmed by a single charge. The battle reassessed American outlook on Native American fighting abilities, as well as public perception of the Great Sioux War. After the 1875 Sun Dance alliance, made by Sitting Bull between the Lakota and Cheyenne, thousands of Indians had slipped away from their reservations in early 1876. Chief Sitting Bull during this Sun Dance had a vision of soldiers falling from the sky meaning a victory was ahead. Military officials planned a summer campaign to force them back to the reservations. U.S. Army generals thought that it would be just another "catch them in their sleep and slaughter their women and children" kind of campaign, but they were about to realize that the Lakota and Northern Cheyenne were present "in force and not running away." and that they were outnumbered by approximately three to one, or roughly 1800 against 600. Interpretations of Custer's fight are conjecture, since none of his men survived the battle. David Humphreys Miller, who between 1935 and 1955 interviewed the last Indian survivors of the battle, wrote that the Custer fight lasted less than one-half hour. The Lakota asserted that Crazy Horse personally led one of the large groups of warriors that eventually overwhelmed the cavalrymen in a surprise charge from the northeast, causing a breakdown in the command structure and panic among the troops. Many of these men threw down their weapons while Cheyenne and Sioux warriors rode them down, "counting coup" with lances, coup sticks and quirts. Some Indian accounts recalled this segment of the fight as a "buffalo run."The Wounded Knee Massacre 1890Wounded Knee became a catch phrase for all the wrongs inflicted on Native Americans by the descendants of Europeans. The Massacre of Wounded Knee became a symbol for the Lakota Nation, of the lies and deceit of the "Great White Father in Washington" and the U.S. Government. The mass graves at Wounded Knee became a symbol to them to never forget and never to trust again... When the rain of ammunition ceased, over 300 Lakota people lay dead from gunfire, cannonfire, or manual butchering within the encampment and within adjacent ravines up to two miles away. The dead were Lakota men who had been disarmed before the weapons fire began, women, many with babes in arms or waiting to be born, and children. The soldiers walked away from their crime against humanity and left the dead where they lay. That night, the sky cried snow and the warm winter wind of peace was supplanted by the cold winter wind of grief. For four days, the dead laid where they were, frozen into grotesque shapes of lifelessness. Finally, the soldiers came and loaded the dead like cordwood in wagons, and hauled their loads to hastily dug mass graves, where the dead were thrown in - the bodies of men, women, and children whose spirits walked the encampment and ravines, wailing. The mass graves were filled and the soldiers left. Twenty seven Congressional Medals of Honor for "bravery" were awarded to the soldiers who participated in that heinous murder for their parts in fighting the allegedly hostile "war parties" attacking them that day."Now the U.S. Government wants to take from us 1,800 acres (including "lands, and all mineral rights, water rights, easements, permanent structures, and fixtures on such land") to turn our sacred site, the burial grounds, and "the historic landscape of Wounded Knee" into a national park. The government claims that it wants to do this so that it can " express its commitment to acknowledge and learn from our history, including the Wounded Knee Massacre, in order to provide a proper foundation for building an ever more humane, enlightened, and just society for the future (quoted from the enabling legislation). " To do so, the U.S. Government wants to remove and relocate any individuals and families living within that 1,800 acres and restore the landscape to the government's vision of 1890 historical conditions. Any buildings and fixtures currently within the 1,800 acres that are not found to coincide with that vision will be destroyed. The government also wants to build a visitors' center, an amphitheater, roads, and trails, and to relocate the three main roads that intersect at the current Wounded Knee memorial and one mass grave site. These activities are wholly inappropriate for a cemetery and burial site and will disturb the spirits of the people buried there... We stand opposed to the creation of this national park for all of the reasons given here and many others. We are asking you to help us in our fight to save this sacred site from development. "NATIVE AMERICANS IN WWIIIt is estimated that more than 3,600 young Navajo men and women joined the armed forces and over 10,000 Navajos went to work in the military factories during World War II. Proportionately, that figure represents one of the highest percentages of total population in the armed service of any ethnic group in the United States. A special group of Navajos were formed during World War II called the Navajo Code Talkers. The Code Talkers used a special code based on the unwritten Navajo language to transmit messages, making it futil for the Japanese enemy to decipher American battle messages about the time and place of attack. The complex syntax and complicated tonal qualities of the Navajo language could baffle even the most experienced linguists. Navajos were an integral part of the war effort even though they were not given the right to vote in Arizona until 1948, in New Mexico until 1953, and in Utah until 1957!List of Native American Tribes and LanguagesPhotos of Native AmericansAmerican Indian HolocaustUS Guilty of GenocideAmerican Indian MovementSubscribe in a reader

Defining fascism. What fascism really is:"Fascism, is a dictatorship from the extreme right or to put it a little more closely into our local idiom, a government which is run by a small group of large industrialists and financial lords..." /Heywood Broun, a noted American columnist in the 1930sAmerica...America...America, FUCK YEAH!Coming again, to save the mother fucking day yeah,America, FUCK YEAH!Freedom is the only way yeah,Terrorist your game is through cause now you have to answer too, America, FUCK YEAH!So lick my butt, and suck on my balls,America, FUCK YEAH!What you going to do when we come for you now, it’s the dream that we all share; it’s the hope for tomorrowFUCK YEAH!McDonalds, FUCK YEAH!Wal-Mart, FUCK YEAH!The Gap, FUCK YEAH!Baseball, FUCK YEAH!NFL, FUCK, YEAH!Rock and roll, FUCK YEAH!The Internet, FUCK YEAH!Slavery, FUCK YEAH!FUCK YEAH!Starbucks, FUCK YEAH!Disney world, FUCK YEAH!Porno, FUCK YEAH!Valium, FUCK YEAH!Reeboks, FUCK YEAH!Fake Tits, FUCK YEAH!Sushi, FUCK YEAH!Taco Bell, FUCK YEAH!Rodeos, FUCK YEAH!Bed bath and beyond (Fuck yeah, Fuck yeah)Liberty, FUCK YEAH!White Slips, FUCK YEAH!The Alamo, FUCK YEAH!Band-aids, FUCK YEAH!Las Vegas, FUCK YEAH!Christmas, FUCK YEAH!Immigrants, FUCK YEAH!Popeye, FUCK YEAH!Democrats, FUCK YEAH!Republicans (republicans)(fuck yeah, fuck yeah)/Trey Parker - America("The place that stole the names of everywhere else") fuck yeah lyrics/Creeping fascism is the gradual lost of freedoms of the masses to the power elite. Full-blown fascism has never appeared all at once. The Nazis took several years to reach the final state of full-blown fascism. The Nazis gradually took away the freedoms of the citizens of Germany until they were able to launch the Holocaust. "Any action taken by the government that places the rights of the elites and corporations above the citizens is a step towards fascism.""In defining fascism, three traits stand above all others, totalitarism, nationalism, and extreme corporatism. In fact, one can not have fascism without corporatism."Fascism goes hand in hand with racism. As a nation, United States were one of the last industrial nations to allow slavery, and it took the Civil War to end slavery. It has been less than fifty years since "separate but equal" was the rule of the land. It's only been sixty years since Japanese citizens and immigrants were interred in camps following the bombing of Pearl Harbor. The Rosewood incident happened less than a hundred years ago, and lynching of blacks was common well into the 20th century. This country has a long history of genocide. There is no question of the genocide of Native Americans in the efforts of the U. S. Army in passing out blankets infected with small pox, or the slaughter of the Plains Indian's primary source of food, the buffalo. For the "Indians" who lived on the Plains, life depended on the buffalo. At the beginning of the nineteenth century, there were an estimated forty million buffalo, but between 1830 and 1888 there was a rapid, systematic extermination culminating in the sudden slaughter of the only two remaining Plain herds. By around 1895, the formerly vast buffalo populations were practically extinct. Then there was the Trail of Tears, as well. For Native Americans, the world after 1492 would never be the same. This date marked the beginning of the long road of persecution and genocide of Native Americans. By conservative estimates, the population of the United states prior to European contact was greater than 12 million. Four centuries later, the count was reduced by 95% to 237 thousand. "Indian Removal" policy was put into action to clear the land for white settlers. Methods for the removal included slaughter of villages by the military and also biological warfare. The Removal Act of 1830 set into motion a series of events which led to the "Trail of Tears" in 1838, a forced march of the Cherokees, resulting in the destruction of most of the Cherokee population. Bigotry and racial discrimination still exist. The vigilante terrorist group known as the Ku Klux Klan experienced a dramatic rebirth in 1915. Somewhere between 2 and 4 million Americans - a majority of them from the North - joined the Klan over the next few years, all vowing to maintain white supremacy. We'll never know how many black lives perished in racial violence. A University of Illinois study suggests that, between 1882 and 1930, white mobs murdered a black man, woman or child somewhere in America nearly once a week, every week. What about the history of American agression? To name just few "humanitarian operations": Dispute over Texas joining the Union resulted in US conquest of California. The American annexation of Texas whose independence the Mexican had never fully accepted made war with Mexico (1846) inevitable. United States occupation of Haiti 1915-1934, occupation of the Dominican Republic 1916-1924, occupation of Greenland and Iceland in 1941... Americans were the only nation to actually use the Nuclear Weapon against civilians, not once but two times in a row, which resulted in the immediate deaths of around 150,000 innocent people. 1945-49 Occupation of South Korea and defeat of a leftist insurgency led to Korean War. "Bay of pigs"- Cuba 1962. Americans were never the good guys. Then they went to Vietnam to fight communism. The number of casualties during the Vietnam War was enormous. According to conservative estimates, about 4 million Vietnamese on all sides were killed, wounded, or missing during the 1965-1975 period alone. 7,800,000 tons of bombs dropped by the U.S. on Indochina, 7,500,000 tons of ground munitions used by U.S. forces, 200,000 tons of munitions fired by U.S. naval forces from ships. This firepower is the equivalent in destructive force of about 600 Hiroshima type atomic bombs. $0 Total U.S. recovery aid provided Vietnam since the end of the war. One of the most controversial aspects of the U.S. military effort in Southeast Asia was the widespread use of agents of chemical warfare between 1961 and 1971. They were used to defoliate large parts of the countryside. These chemicals continue to change the landscape, cause diseases and birth defects, and poison the food chain even today. Invasion of Dominican Republic, aagain in 1965. The U.S. launches Operation "Urgent Fury" to invade the sovereign island nation of Grenada, 1983. Operation "El Dorado Canyon" On April 16, 1986, President Reagan reported that U.S. air and naval forces had conducted bombing strikes on terrorist facilities and military installations in the Libyan capitol of Tripoli, claiming that Libyan leader Col. Gaddafi was responsible for a bomb attack at a German disco that killed two U.S. soldiers. 1991 - Iraq. Persian Gulf War, On January 16 America attacked Iraqi forces and military targets in Iraq and Kuwait. Bosnia-Hercegovina is still under occupation, from 1993. 1994-95 - Haiti Operation "Uphold Democracy". 1999 - U.S. led bombing of Serbia fighting muslim terrorists uprising in its southern province of Kosovo (Albanian drug lords have bought some U.S. senators. Maybe Iran is sponsoring terrorism but terrorists are pouring money in U.S. Congress. Money talks louder than justice). "Iraqi Freedom" left 1 million dead, that number is still rising. Americans were "looking for weapons of mass destruction", they hadn't found it, not even under Saddam's bed. Money making is a wonderful thing. Tell you one thing: Invaders must die. What are they doing there? Winning hearts and minds? 2001 - present day - Operation "Enduring Freedom"... All these actions had nothing to do with democracy and freedom nor terrorists, it is all about money, oil, pipelines and shit. In fact, they have never stopped taking other peoples' liberties away. They've been in war from the day United States were born. Every war was a must to "protect American interests, American dream, their way of life, liberty, capitalism, freedom, flowers and justice".Collateral damage is damage that is unintended or incidental to the intended outcome. The term originated in the United States military. Jamie Shea, spokesman of NATO during NATO campaign against Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, has became (in)famous for using this phrase in comments about civilian casualties killed by NATO.

A "furious" President Obama has ordered a review of the decision to fly a Boeing 747 frighteningly close to the lower Manhattan skyline. On Tuesday, Obama told reporters, "It was a mistake. It was something we found out about along with all of you. And it will not happen again." The Federal Aviation Administration said the aircraft, which functions as Air Force One when the president is aboard, was taking part in a classified, government-sanctioned photo shoot...The flyover has caused panic across Manhattan NY. Witnesses reported seeing the plane circle over the Upper New York Bay near the Statue of Liberty before flying up the Hudson River. The YouTube video shows dozens of people standing in a parking lot, watching the plane approach. As it nears, they begin to run. Someone unleashes an expletive. "Run, run!" says one person. "Oh my God," cries another. "There was no warning. It looked like the plane was about to come into us," she said. "I'm a therapist, and I actually had a panic attack." A 911 call released by the Hudson County Sheriff's Department in New Jersey shows the panic caused by the plane. "There's a plane falling, there is a big aircraft falling like 9/11!" OOOH, like 9/11? Poor souls, boohoo...It's just a plane, stupid. You don't see people running and shit their pants from seeing an airplane over their heads, in let's say... Serbia, and they were bombed to stoneage by Americans, some years ago.Subscribe in a reader

In 2005 President Clinton saw a need to establish Clinton Global Initiative (CGI). CGI reflects his belief that governments need collaboration from the private sector, non-governmental organizations, media and other global leaders to effectively confront the world’s most pressing problems and promote "good government in new democracies". CGI membership is a year-round activity tailored to the needs of today's world leaders. The CGI membership fee is $20,000 per calendar year. Amanpour was a member alongside with Gordon Brown (Prime Minister of the United Kingdom) , Shimon Peres (President of Israel), Barrack Obama (44th President of United States), Jens Stoltenberg (Prime Minister of Norway), Warren Buffett, Rupert Murdoch, Michael Bloomberg, Robert Zoellick (President of The World Bank Group), Hillary Clinton, Richard Holbrooke, Javier Solana (High Representative for the Common Foreign and Security Policy of the European Union), Martti Ahtisaari, George Soros and others... The Global Initiative's annual meeting, however, displayed a list of sponsors that included "purely charitable outfits" such as the Rockefeller Foundation, Bill Gates, but also Pfizer, a major player in the heavily regulated pharmaceutical industry. Talk about "independent journalism". Now, back to Christiane Amanpour. In 1998, Christiane married former US Assistant Secretary of State James Rubin. The couple met in 1997 in Bosnia, where Ms. Amanpour was on assignment and Mr. Rubin was traveling with Secretary of State Madeleine K. Albright. Many find it unusual that Amanpour, raised in Islamic Iran, married a man of the Jewish faith tradition. In 2007 she was given one of Britain’s top honours by Queen Elizabeth. For her reporting from the Balkans, Amanpour received a News and Documentary Emmy, two George Foster Peabody Awards, two George Polk Awards, a Courage in Journalism Award, a Worldfest-Houston International Film Festival Gold Award and the Livingston Award for Young Journalists. Remember, at the time of NATO aggression on Serbia, James Rubin was the spokesman of the State Department. Her story represents all that one needs to know about the world, reduced, packaged, and delivered. To them (western media), the KLA is one day a drug smuggling operation, the next - an army of liberation. The media often generate the very events that they describe. They add an impetus, import momenta, dictate trajectory, nudge leaders and determines consequences. They are an active partner rather than a disinterested by-stander. As such, they share the matrix of responsibility with politicians and army generals. Christiane is not the first among her colleagues, she is much more than that - their symbol. She was simply "chosen" to do the dirty work. Her first important journalistic mission was in 1990. Two years later, she is in the Bosnia and on the road to world glory... Who is, in fact, Christiane Amanpour? She was a child od several cultures. Shortly after her birth in London, her father Mohammad, an Iranian airline executive and her British mother Patricia, moved the family to Tehran. The Amanpours led a privileged life under the government of the Shah of Iran. She returned to England in 1969 and her family fled from Iran during the Islamic Revolution. From age 11, attended two Roman Catholic all-girls' schools in Great Britain. Graduated Summa Cum Laude from University of Rhode Island in 1983 with a BA in Journalism. She was a roomie with JFK Jr. After graduation, she endured numerous network rejections because she lacked "the right look." "I arrived at CNN with a suitcase, with my bicycle and with about 100 dollars."She was transferred to Eastern Europe in 1986, during the fall of Communism. Her emotional delivery from Sarajevo during the Siege of Sarajevo led some viewers and critics to question her professional objectivity, claiming that many of her reports were unjustified and in favour towards the Bosnian Muslims, to which she replied, "There are some situations one simply cannot be neutral about, because when you are neutral you are an accomplice. Objectivity doesn't mean treating all sides equally. It means giving each side a hearing." She was sitting in Belgrade when that Markale marketplace massacre happened, and she went on the air to say that the Serbs had probably done it. There was no way she could have known that. She was assuming an omniscience which no journalist has. As it happened in the Markale case, later investigation indicated Serbs could not have perpetrated this particular attack. The fact that a UN classified report concluded that Bosnian Muslim forces had committed the Markale marketplace massacre seems of no consequence to Ms. Amanpour. Christiane Amanpour has yet to inform her viewers of this fact, but continues to allow them to believe the massacre was a Serbian atrocity...She stepped unabashedly out of her role as a reporter when she publicly challenged President Bill Clinton in May 1994 to take action in response to Serbian actions in Bosnia." When our world leaders wanted to shrug away and call it a terrible civil war for which all sides were equally guilty, we said, "No." Genocide against Muslims in Europe was being committed and this had to be stopped." (April 29, 2006). She was CNN's top war correspondent in Iraq and by doing so, failed to aggressively question the motives behind the invasion. Why doesn't she "scream bloody murder" about US crimes in Middle East or elsewhere around the globe? A review of her reporting over the years in Bosnia, Iraq, Israel and the Palestinian territories suggests the hollowness of such lofty claims and underscores her preference for advocacy journalism in which she pushes her own personal definitions of fairness and truth, instead of presenting information objectively. Amanpour’s self-ascribed moral authority is reflected in other aspects of her work. She even fashions herself an expert on international law where it suits her story. Is Amanpour ignorant or a liar? If she's ignorant, she should be fired. Not for this singular untruth, but for the entire enterprise which leaks lies and distortions at every frame. If she's a liar, well, she should be fired... Honestly, calling this, um—thing—journalism would be like calling McDonald's burger organic food. There should be war crimes tribunal for fake journalism that leads to military intervention. Where is Christiane Amanpour, there is no truth, and thus can not even be in danger.Subscribe in a reader

Kim Jong-il has formally named his third son, Kim Jong-un, as his successor as he prepares to stand down as North Korea's leader. Analysts said North Korea's nuclear bomb test last week, and the firing of several short-range missiles, could be designed to create a personality cult around its new leader. The first mention of Kim Jong-il's third, and favourite, son(25), came in the memoirs of a Japanese sushi chef Fujimoto, who claims he became a drinking companion of North Korea's "Dear Leader". Fujimoto, said he is indeed "a spitting image of his father in terms of face, body shape and personality". The younger Kim is thought to have studied at the International School of Berne in Guemligen, Switzerland, under a pseudonym before returning to a military academy in Pyongyang. There are varying reports that he can speak German, French and English. He has also been reported as overweight and diabetic. His oldest son, 37-year-old Kim Jong-nam, might have taken over from him, but has never been able to recover from being caught in 2001 trying to sneak into Disneyland in Tokyo. Although there were rumours of a reconciliation, he has also been spotted in Macau. Meanwhile a train carrying an intercontinental ballistic missile has been detected by South Korean intelligence travelling to Musudan-ri, a key North Korean launch pad. US officials confirmed that North Korea is moving a new missile, but cautioned that Pyongyang might be engaging in deception to win further bargaining points. The US Defence department has said it is capable of intercepting North Korean missiles. The rogue state also does not have the technology to mount a nuclear warhead onto the Taepodong 2. America has agreed to sell "bunker-buster" bombs to South Korea capable of destroying underground facilities in North Korea... Totalitarian regimes close to demise are apt to get panicky and do rash things. The weaker North Korea gets, the more dangerous it becomes. These brainwashed Asians “will stand and fight.” American soldiers in Korea refer to the fighting on the peninsula between 1950 and 1953 as “the first Korean War.” The implicit assumption is that there will be a second.In any case scenario, poor people of North Korea should not be punished. In The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), nursery school is followed by four years of primary and six years of secondary school. After that, everyone joins the army for 13 years. North Korea has the fifth-largest army in the world, at an estimated 1.21 million armed personnel, with about 20% of men aged 17–54 in the regular armed forces. In every district pylons fitted with loudspeakers broadcast party orders and martial music. Public executions are common thing. Media brainwashed the population so that the only Communist ruling dinasty, can stay in power. Kim Jong Il’s succession was aided by the link that his father had established in the North Korean mind between the Kim Family Regime and the Choson Dynasty, which ruled the Korean peninsula for 500 years, starting in the late fourteenth century. People are dying from famine while military prepares to launch ICBMs. Large-scale international food aid deliveries have allowed the people of North Korea to escape widespread starvation since famine threatened in 1995, but the population continues to suffer from prolonged malnutrition and poor living conditions. China and South Korea remain the largest donors of food aid to North Korea. People there desperately need help but not by carpet-bombing like in Iraq...

Vlada moćnika iz senke koja de facto upravlja svetom više nije tako tajna. Pre samo deset godina, ova najveća teorija zavere u istoriji čovečanstva bi zvučala kao bajka a njeni zagovornici kao kandidati za ludnicu. Danas međutim, zatvaranje očiju pred ovom istinom je krajnje opasno. Ostavimo po strani kako je sve to počelo, zanemarimo vitezove templare, iluminate i slobodne masone i sagledajmo našu realnost. Kapitalizam je evoluirao u nezasito čudovište koje preti da uništi svet kakav danas poznajemo i uspostavi nova pravila igre, novi svetski poredak koji znači ozbiljnu pretnju osnovnim ljudskim pravima i slobodama svakog pojedinca. Ova zver je toliko moćna da se više ne boji da izađe na svetlo dana i pitanje je da li je moguće boriti se protiv nje i sprečiti neizbežno. Ne radi se ni o kakvom fantastičnom, mitskom stvorenju, već o "običnim" ljudima koji su jednostavno, toliko bogati i moćni da mogu da kroje svetsku politiku i ekonomiju po svom nahođenju. Kreiraju istoriju po deset, pedeset, sto godina unapred a krajnji cilj je naravno apsolutna moć i porobljavanje čitave planete. Početak XXI veka je početak njihove vladavine i objava rata čovečanstvu. Rat protiv terorizma, svetska ekonomska kriza, globalne pandemije su proizvod njihove bolesne mašte sproveden u delo. Zaboravite Ujedinjene Nacije, Američke predseničke izbore, nacionalne granice, iza svega stoji elita svetskih moćnika koja ne drži konferencije za štampu i čije se slike ne pojavljuju u dnevnim novinama. Njihov cilj je jedna svetska vlada, jedna banka, jedna valuta, jedna armija i ista pravila za sve, totalna kontrola svakog pojedinca, svakog bankovnog računa, svačije sudbine...Slomom Sovjetskog Saveza i bipolarnog sistema, otvoren je put hegemoniji sile i ukidanju svih sloboda upravo u ime slobode i demokratije. Ne govorim samo o Sjedinjenim Američkim Državama, ovo je mnogo veće. Svet je u haosu ali je ovaj haos unapred osmišljen i pod kontrolom. Naučni napredak čovečanstva se pretvorio u svoju suprotnost i omogućio tehnološko porobljavanje i ispiranje mozgova. Jedino internet još uvek ne mogu sasvim da kontrolišu ali rade na tome ( Internet 2) i mogu da izoluju i love one koji postanu preglasni. Svet se ne kreće u pravcu globalne zajednice nezavisnih država već u pravcu globalne diktature. Pristupanje ovakvom obliku Unije (danas je to Evropska Unija, sutra Američka Unija, Azijska Unija, Afrička Unija i najzad Unija svih Unija) sa jasno definisanim zakonima, slobodama, pravima ali i obevazama, pravilima ponašanja... znači gubitak nezavisnosti. Ako pak niste deo ove globalne zajednice, onda ste deo problema i kao takvima, preti vam uništenje (nebitno da li ste država ili pojedinac). Reforma je počela i sada je očigledna, nije više skrivena, nema više strpljenja.Globalna Ekonomska KrizaCilj sadašnje, veštački stvorene, globalne ekonomske krize jeste višestruk a glavni je reforma ekonomskog poretka, bankarskog sistema i apsolutna kontrola nad istim. Jedan od ciljeva je bio i da se uspori i zaustavi privredni i ekonomski rast Azijskih džinova. Stvar je vrlo prosta. Osmislite problem za koji unapred imate rešenje koje ide samo vama u korist, napravite haos a zatim se pojavljujete kao spasilac. Cilj ekonomske krize nije da potpuno osiromaši i uništi potrošača, već da uvede nova pravila koja će biti obavezna za sve, da veliki igrači zbrišu konkurenciju odnosno da ih kupe, da se siromašne države prezaduže kod MMF-a kako bi izbegle bankrot (i uvedu u dužničko ropstvo) i da se izvrši delimična nacionalizacija svih važnijih kompanija. Da, to je ta osveta Karla Marksa. Ima nešto u teoriji komunizma što se sviđa i kapitalistima. Kriza neće biti dugog veka, trajaće još godinu, dve a zatim sledi "oporavak" i nova pravila igre. Nova pravila podrazumevaju da više neće postojati ekskluzivno pravo pojedinih država nad prirodnim resursima na svojoj teritoriji. Globalizacija znači da su svi resursi na planeti "zajednički", to vam je nešto kao oduzimanje prasadi i kukuruza od seljaka posle drugog svetskog rata zbog višeg cilja.Smanjenje Svetske PopulacijeTa tajna elita je odlučila da na planeti Zemlji ima previše ljudi i da svoj plan ne mogu sprovesti na prenatrpanoj planeti. Rešenje: smanjiti broj stanovništva za najmanje 50% u sledećih dvadeset godina. Neke procene pokazuju da je optimalan broj stanovnika oko 1 milijarde. Kako se rešiti viška? Jedno od rešenja je naravno rat, koji prati glad i izumiranje prirodnim putem a tu su naravno i bolesti, kuge stvorene u laboratoriji. Kako se vrši selekcija, ko će preživeti? Samo onaj ko može da priušti sebi čarobni lek, stvoren u toj istoj laboratoriji kao protivotrov. Kome treba beskorisno, siromašno stanovništvo? Ono će da strada a ima ga i previše... Danas je to mutant grip, sutra će to biti neka mnogo groznija boleština. Iza ptičjeg gripa iz 1976 je stajao niko drugi do Donald Ramsfeld koji se na leku(Tamiflu) i obogatio. Trebao im je rat pa su ga izmislili. Slučajno se front "rata protiv terorizma" poklapa sa trasom naftnog cevovoda na Bliskom i Dalekom Istoku. Izmislili su arhineprijatelja, čobana iz pećine koga je nemoguće uhvatiti i rat protiv njega koji ne poznaje granice i nema kraja. Trebao im je dovoljno jak povod da ga opravdaju. Napad na najmoćniju svetsku silu koji ne može proći nekažnjeno. Oni su ih stvorili (Al Kaidu), obučili i naoružali. To su sve lako proverljive činjenice. Čelične konstrukcije koje padaju od udara putničkih aviona kao kule od karata, čak i kad nisu direktno pogođene. Znači, izmislite rat, uništite zemlju i narod, sagradite vojne baze koje čuvaju naftovod, pošaljete lekare bez granica i "humanitarce" da lekovima i hranom sumnjivog porekla dotuku izbeglice. Nafta će biti interesantna još četrdesetak godina dok ne presuše izvori, do tada se patenti za vozila koje pokreće hidrogen čuvaju zaključani u nečijoj fioci. Kada unište atmosferu prećiće na zelenu tehnologiju iz fioka i opet izvući profit.Ispiranje MozgovaŠtampa je odavno dobro kontrolisana a svaka vest filtrirana i osmišljena da proizvede odgovarajuću reakciju. Među glasnogovornicima novog svetskog poretka prednjače medijski magnati kao što su CNN, CBS, Washington Post, the New York Times, Time Magazine bez kojih ova prevara ne bi bila moguća. Novi Svetski poredak ne bi bio moguć bez njenog najvažnijeg igrača Sjedinjenih Američkih Država i njene ekonomske, političke, vojne i tehnološke supremacije. Zato su svi predsednici sa svojim administracijama od Regana do Obame pažljivo birani i finansirani kao pioni svetske intelektualne i bankarske elite. Opšte je poznato da u Americi uspeh na izborima zavisi od finansijskih sredstava kojima raspolažete i podrške tzv superdelegata koje takođe kupujete. Od početka vladavine dinastije Bush-Clinton, postalo je nevažno da li je kandidat Demokrata ili Republikanac. Oni se smenjuju u zavisnosti od toga koja je stranka u datom trenutku popularnija. Na izborima pobeđuje kandidat sa najviše novca koga podrži vlada iz senke, dobro podmazan medijskom kampanjom. Gotovo svi kandidati su njihovi ljudi a glasanje na izborima predstavlja završni čin, ozvaničenje već poznatog ishoda. Naročito Američka populacija je godinama služila kao eksperimet i pokusni kunić u procesu ispiranja mozgova. Ona se drži u konstantnom strahu od terorizma, virusa, ekonomske nestabilnosti kako bi podržala slanje trupa na kraj sveta i agresiju na suverene nacije a sve u cilju očuvanja "Američkog načina života i slobode". Nisu Amerikanci glupi, oni su samo dezinformisani, svakodnevno bombardovani preko štampe i tv-a. "Amerika je slobodna, ostatak civilizacije živi u kamenom dobu." Ovaj dobro isprobani metod sada treba prodati ostatku sveta. Samo pogledajte univerzalne reklame za npr. prašak koje se emituju na tv-u. Pravljene su za debile ali ako ih gledate više puta dnevno, kada odete u supermarket kupićete "Ariel" zbog upornih mrlja na vašem belom... Kupovaćete stvari za koje niste ni sanjali da su vam potrebne a bez kojih sada ne možete živeti. Idete u banku da uzmete kredit, tamo su svi nasmejani, oni igraju i pevaju, dele novac sa vrata, uzmite još. Proizvod koji se pre par meseci reklamirao kao vrhunski, sada je sranje, izašao je novi. Na istom principu prodajete i rat, strah i globalnu krizu.Kontrola i Apsolutna Moć"...Cilj je da se svima na ovom svetu ugradi RFID čip..." N.

The stated purpose of the invasion was to capture Osama bin Laden, destroy al-Qaeda, and remove the Taliban regime...Operation 'enduring terror'As of end 2008, the war has been unsuccessful in its primary purpose of capturing Osama bin Laden, while tensions have grown with regional ally Pakistan. U.S. policies in Afghanistan a decade and more ago in fact helped to create both Osama bin Laden and the fundamentalist Taliban regime that shelters him. Osama bin Laden was a CIA tactician. Al-Qaeda was not destroyed, the initial attack removed the Taliban from power, but Taliban forces have since regained strength. The countryside is devastated and is currently experiencing a severe drought, with 7.5 million people threatened with starvation. The death and destruction wrought by the U.S. bombing campaign-and the cut off of food aid deliveries it has caused-have already killed hundreds and produced thousands more refugees scrambling to escape into Pakistan. How many innocent civilians died? The real purpose of the invasion War is unwinnable for NATO and U.S. so why are they still here? Many of the thousands of U.S. troops in Afghanistan are positioned in what experts say are large, permanent bases. The dramatic build-up of an indefinite Western military presence in Afghanistan has unsettled some regional powers, including Russia. Russia views the large and indefinite military build-up as a potential threat because Afghanistan's geographical location is a very strategic one. It's very close to three main world basins of hydrocarbons: Persian Gulf, Caspian Sea, Central Asia. Other observers have also noted that through a stronger military presence in Afghanistan, the U.S. may be seeking to strengthen its own position in the region to counter increasingly warm relations among India, China and Russia. Along with its proximity to the vast Central Asian and Caspian Sea energy sources and being in the midsts of the regional powers of India, China, and Russia, Afghanistan also holds strategic significance given its border with Iran. This "War on Terror" isn't about terrorism. I don't think that it is a war on Islam either. It is about resources, money and power. It is about bloody pipelines spreading from Afghanistan to Europe.It is not about "enduring freedom", flowers or democracy. It is against humanity, against all of us. Don't forget the heroin business In 2000, the Taliban had issued a ban on opium production, which led to reductions in Pashtun Mafia opium production by as much as 90%. Soon after the 2001 U.S. led invasion of Afghanistan, however, opium production increased markedly. By 2005, Afghanistan had regained its position as the world’s #1 opium producer and was producing 90% of the world’s opium, most of which is processed into heroin and sold in Europe and Russia. Many suspected drug traffickers are now top officials in the Karzai government. "Afghan President" Hamid Karzai, the fashion queen aka Mr. Fashion, is portraited as responsible, Western-oriented leader who is symbolized by modern buildings sprouting up and new asphalt strips going off into the horizon. In fact he is a spineless, American butkissing, puppet "President" who cries for more and more invasion troops all the time. Hand-picked by the CIA, Karzai has never been more than "the mayor of Kabul," and his associates are highly corrupt, including his half-brother who has been accused of smuggling drugs in Kandahar.Subscribe in a reader

Panic is spreading around the World much faster than a virus. It goes like this: Problem - Reaction - SolutionWho will profit from the "Deadly Flu" this time?Rumsfeld made the most profit from swine flu in 1976 and bird flu in 2005. Potential profiteers of swine flu are Al Gore´s Kleiner Perkins or Baxter…It is interesting that the new swine flu virus is in fact a mixture of viruses that are typical for birds, pigs and people. The World Health Organisation has expressed concern and warned about a possible pandemic, but for now there is no explanation as to how the virus managed to mutate in such a short period of time that it can be spread from person to person. Nobody has yet issued any official information about the origin of the new swine flu virus. Some media have recalled the bird flu epidemic in 2005 and early 2006. The only cure for the deadly disease was a drug called Tamiflu, which was produced by the Gilead Sciences pharmaceutical company, whose CEO happened to be Donald Rumsfeld from 1997 to 2001. He stepped down from the position after he took up office as the chief of the Pentagon in Bush’s administration. But he did not give up his shares in the company. The American company made millions of dollars and its shares skyrocketed. The American media called Rumsfeld the bird flu profiteer, having become one of the wealthiest men in America from the earnings from the drug. The Swiss company Roche purchased the rights to the production of Tamiflu. But Rumsfeld’s name was not just connected with the bird flu, but also with the swine flu in the United States in 1976. The story began when one soldier died in New Jersey from what experts believed to be an identical strain of the swine flu virus from 1918. At the time, Rumsfeld was Secretary of Defence and initiated swift action, convincing the people that the new administration would make sure that every man, woman and child in America are vaccinated. The vaccine was produced and distributed across the country at lightning speed. The only problem was that the vaccine had been contaminated which resulted in hundreds of people becoming ill from it, while 52 people died. The question of who will now profit from this deadly virus arises. The swine flu outbreak will probably result in a spike in sales of vitamins, over-the-counter cold meds, hand sanitizers and surgical masks. Businesses that disinfect outbreak sites will hire more short-term employees, as will hospitals. Reuters conducted a research of who could be the potential manufacturer of a new vaccine and came to the conclusion that since the breakout of the swine flu, the shares of two companies increased considerably – Biocryst Pharmaceuticals by 26 percent and Novavax by as much as 75 percent... Media sensationalismBe afraid, be very afraid... or turn off your tv. On April 30, the media reported that the World Health Organization (WHO) was expected to soon designate the swine flu as a full pandemic, at level six on the WHO’s six-point scale. WHO director-general Margaret Chan declared, “It is really all of humanity that is under threat during a pandemic.” Shortly afterwards, however, the WHO said that it would continue to use the term “pandemic” even if “the new virus turns out to cause mainly mild symptoms.”Currently, however, the swine flu outbreak shows little sign of imminently threatening all of humanity. The Mexican government scaled back its tally of swine flu deaths from 176 to 100, of which 19 are “confirmed.” References to pandemics, made without any serious explanation of the scientific meaning of the term, have created an atmosphere of public fear. Since 9/11, the American media and government, in particular, have adopted fear-mongering as a standard tactic for stoking up fear and politically disorienting the public, and then exploiting such moods to justify a militaristic foreign policy and attacks on democratic rights. Media reports have explained the significance of a pandemic by citing the Black Death plague that wiped out a third of the population of 14th-century Europe, or the 1918 flu epidemic that killed 30-50 million people worldwide. Worried about swine flu? Then you should be terrified about the regular flu. In fact, the swine flu has until now caused far fewer deaths than even normal, seasonal flu, 250,000-500,000 in an average flu season. The solution: buy your Tamiflu or whatever NOW! BUY NOW and be saved. /moreHow deadly it really is? At its heart, swine flu is a fairly traditional respiratory disease. It has an incubation period of one to two days, and causes fevers, lethargy, loss of appetite, coughing, runny nose and sore throat. In some cases, it can have a gastric component, leading to nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. The economic effect has been pretty much deadlier. New World Order launched a full scale war on humanity.

Toward a Global "Internet of things"Time of the internet of free, independent and uncensored opinions is over. To simply switch the entire World Wide Web off is virtually impossible — the bankers and the military would be the first losers. This is why, to end up with the alternative online media, the world elite have long been financing the development of a highly restrictive and fully controlled new internet. The end game is a system similar to China, whereby no websites even mildly critical of the government will be authorized. They say the internet is dead, or dying; it's full of viruses, worms and porn. We will see the future where washing machines, TVs, security systems, cars, traffic lights and other electronically-controlled systems would all be networked, controlled and maintained by a virtual supervisor. In the future, everything of value will be on the network in one form of another. Researchers seeking smarter ways to tackle the most complicated computing tasks think they've found the answer in a cloud computing, which aims to deliver supercomputing power over the Internet. Data centers that house hundreds or thousands of computers to quickly serve sophisticated software to legions of users. The services will be accessible anywhere that has access to networking infrastructure. You wouldn't need hard drives any more, all your data is in the cloud. Cloud computing has been criticized for limiting the freedom of users and making them dependent on the cloud computing provider. It is indeed only possible to use applications or services that the provider is willing to offer. Cloud computing will restrict users' freedom and that it is simply a trap aimed at forcing more people to buy into locked, proprietary systems that would cost them more and more over time. The Cloud spans many borders and "may be the ultimate form of globalization". "The Spychips Threat"Tiny RFID (Radio Frequency ID) tags, will enable computers to automatically recognize and identify everyday objects, and then track, trace, monitor, trigger events, and perform actions on those objects. The technology will effectively create an "Internet of things." Imagine a world where everything is on the internet. Radio-frequency identification (RFID) is the use of an object (typically referred to as an RFID tag) applied to or incorporated into a product, animal, or person for the purpose of identification and tracking using radio waves. Have you already taken one home with you? RFID will fundamentally impact the industries of manufacturing, retail, transportation, health care, life sciences, pharmaceuticals, and government, offering an unprecedented real-time view of assets and inventories throughout the global supply chain. RFID chips have now been made as small as 0.3 millimeters (about the size of a pencil tip). Are you worried whether your child is in school or not ? Now, RFID technology will tell you the whereabouts of your child inside a school. UK has just undertaken a pilot project, in which school children are tagged with RFID chips. We are all familiar with biometric passports and ID chip cards. The next step would be implants under your skin. Data on radio chips can be cloned and modified without detection, according to a security researcher, raising question marks over the use of so-called e-passports that use RFID chips. All countries issuing e-passports are supposed to upload their digital certificate to the Public Key Directory (PKD). There has been an established link between the anti-RFID movement and fundamentalist Christians for quite a while now. This plan should raise a red flag for everyone familiar with the last book of the Bible... RFID has an important role in a ubiquitous spy network that is capable of serving powerful government officials, hostile regimes, criminals, pharmaceutical companies, insurance providers, and employers. The RFID industry is planning for humans to receive subdermal microchips, and for personally-identifiable chips to be embedded in everything we interact with. Potential for privacy loss is enormous, its implications are profound, and it will affect everyone. If this all sounds hyped and sensationalized, I recommend reading the patent applications for yourself, and statements from industry executives that celebrate future Draconian applications of RFID to provide authorities with methods to "abolish crime". Bad idea for governments to have such complete power--especially in countries that are already theocracies.Subscribe in a reader

Not only did the country successfully send a communications satellite into orbit, KCNA said, but "it is sending to the Earth the melodies of the immortal revolutionary paeans 'Song of General Kim Il Sung' and 'Song of General Kim Jong Il.' " According to the US military the top two stages of the North Korean rocket and its payload crashed into the Pacific ocean before reaching orbit, but who can argue with The Great Leader. Ordinary North Koreans will of course learn of their country’s historic achievement through the carefully controlled state media. The Taepodong 2 rocket used in Sunday's launch could in theory carry a nuclear warhead and reach the west coast of the US. But since it was apparently carrying a satellite it will be difficult to convince sceptics that the North Korea is in breach of existing UN resolutions. Americans say that it is not important what was the rocket carrying, Obama said that the launch "further isolated North Korea", and that the country must abandon its nuclear weapons programme. Meanwhile China, while officially disapproving of North Korea when it breaches international law, is unlikely to make a great deal of noise over its neighbour's activities. North Korea defied mounting international pressure when it launched a long-range rocket, with the move triggering an emergency meeting of the UN security council. The White House described the launch as a clear breach of UN resolution 1718, passed after long-range missile and nuclear tests in 2006, which demanded that North Korea suspend "all activities related to its ballistic missile programme". Tokyo had deployed warships and Patriot missile interceptors off its northern coast to shoot down any debris which might hit its territory. But, like the US, it had already said it would not intercept the device after Pyongyang warned that shooting it down would be an "act of war" and would prompt retaliation. No debris fell on Japan. Some say that there was no satellite at all. North Korean scientists and engineers are known to have built several hundred short- and mid-range missiles as well as nuclear warheads, there's never been any sign of fabrication of a satellite. South Koreans say that North Koreans built a dummy satellite to save money. Anyway, North Korea can count the launch as a success. They shot a long-range missile farther than ever before, this one went approximately 2,000 miles, twice the distance of Taepodong-1 and nearly half the distance needed to deliver a warhead to Alaska or Hawaii.Subscribe in a reader
