A Shout Out To Rep. Jim McDermott, D-Wa.

Rep. Jim McDermott (D-Wa), called out the Dictator and his puppet-master Dick Cheney by placing on the record some well needed truth regarding the history of US involvement in Iran, and the real reason for the invasion of Iraq. From AlterNet: Mr. Speaker: This president and vice president have vowed to repeat the mistakes of history, and they have put into motion a plan to do just that in Iran, even as the House is about to send the president a box of blank checks for Iraq, against the will of the American people. The history is worth knowing. In 1953, the United States and United Kingdom launched Operation Ajax, a covert CIA operation to destabilize and remove the democratically elected government of Iran, including then Prime Minister Mohammed Mossadegh. Why? Oil. Under Mossadegh, the Iranian government decided to reclaim Iran's rightful ownership of its national oil treasure, which had been exclusively controlled by the British who were taking 85 percent of the profits. Oh, and by the way, the U.K. also kept the books secret, merely telling Iran what its 15 percent take was. As soon as Mossadegh began to reclaim Iran's oil treasure, it was all over. Operation Ajax was set into motion. Read on.... McDermott deserves great credit for standing up to Bush and his dictatorial ways put in place by an out-of-control VP. Keep in mind, that while McDermott was showing what it means to have integrity, many of his fellow Democrats caved in to pressure from the White House crying all along about how those big bad Republicans would call them names. Grow up!!!

Ratcheting Up The Case For Iran War

Does anyone besides me make a connection between George's tough talk in a speech today at the Coast Guard Academy where he argued that a withdrawal from Iraq would allow Al Qaeda to flourish and the release of a report from the IAEA saying that despite earlier sanctions, Iran continues to enrich uranium -- which can provide fuel for civilian reactors but also make nuclear bombs. Throw in the build-up of the forces in the Gulf by two aircraft carriers, and I guess we had better be on the look out for renewed terror alerts any time now. This is the Bush MO -- create an alleged security problem, issue a terror alert, build up the forces, and invade. The only thing difference this time, is it will be possible nuclear bombs (they like to tell us it would be a "limited" nuclear strike) rather than an invasion and occupation. Of course there is the usual criticism like this from former national security adviser Richard Clark as reported in the NYT “One day Bush tells us we are fighting in Iraq so that terrorists won’t come here, then he releases intelligence that says terrorists trained in Iraq are coming here. Which is it?” And then of course Democratic Senate Leader Harry Reid weighed in saying: “The president today made the best case yet for why Congress must insist on a change of strategy in Iraq.....Intelligence analysts concluded long ago that Iraq has indeed become a training ground and recruiting poster for a new generation of terrorists.” But you see that's the problem. All these leaders talk tough, but do very little to reign in this out of control little dictator. It is more than time to to put a stop to this madness and contact your congressional delegation. Contact your Senator here. Contact your Representative here .

Is False Flag Terror Attack Planned?

Well it's "tin-foil hat" time again. Ridicule me if you wish, but I will not shrink from the label. For those not familiar with the term, false flag operations are covert operations conducted by governments, corporations, or other organizations, which are designed to appear as if they are being carried out by other entities. If you remember, there was a "terror drill" being conducted on 911. What was the scenario? Planes being hijacked and flown into buildings. Still not enough proof that governments would intentionally murder their own people? How about the London bombings on July 7, 2005 when London's public transport system came under a bombing attack during the morning rush hour. It seems a little odd to me that at the time that happened, an identical "terror alert practise" was taking place. This was even verified by Peter Power the Managing Director of Visor Consultants Limited (a crisis management company) based in Piccadilly, London. Then of course there is the well known "false flag" attack performed by Hitler on his own country, The Reichstag Fire. And of course let us not forget the plan approved by the entire members of the United States Joint Chiefs of Staff Operation Northwoods. Yes indeed, governments will definitely carry out an attack on their own people if they have something to gain. Usually the "gain", is to make the citizenry so fearful they will allow the government to impose any sanction on their rights it deems necessary in the name of "Homeland Security". Sound familiar? Well here we go again. This "terrorism test" is called Noble Resolve 07, by USJFCOM , and is scheduled to take place from April, 23 to April 27. The elite echelon of the military are running Noble Resolve 07, a four-day marathon of “simulated” terror attacks across the US and Europe. This includes a simulated detonation of a “loose” ten-kiloton nuclear weapon in Virginia harbor, smuggled in by a “foreign nation.” I'm sorry - but "tin-foil hat" or not, we can't forget the intention of the Bush Administration (planned and pushed on by Dick Cheney), to have an excuse for an attack on Iran. This week Dick Cheney has again been warning of the “very real” threat of a nuclear attack on an American city. Could the Nobel Resolve drills be used as a screen for a false-flag attack to be blamed on Iran, Hezbollah, Al-Qaeda? As far back as Aug 1, 2005 Cheney is known to be pushing for a nuclear strike on Iran as reported by American Free Press. In that article it quotes the reporting of Philip Geraldi from the Aug. 1, 2005 issue which says “Vice President Cheney’s office has specifically told the Pentagon that the military should be prepared for an attack on Iran in the immediate aftermath of ‘another 9-11.’ ” Still think I'm a member of the "tin-foil hat" crowd? Well so be it. All I can say is stay safe and watch your back. I don't trust Darth Vader Cheney and his puppet King George as far as I could throw them - and at my age, that's not very damn far.

The Three Faces Of Death

PNAC planning that has been in effect for years could be closer to reality than many non-conspiracy die-hards believe is possible. So now, when the perfect storm moved into place that gave King George (who likes to play dress up as a warrior), along with (Darth Vader himself) Dick Cheney and then mix in a good helping of Donald Rumsfeld (the apparent S&M expert at the Pentagon) who found a sure-fire way to add even more blood to his own hands than Saddam Hussein - the very person he embraced with enthusiastic friendship when their common enemy was then and appears to be once again, Iran. He along with Alberto the impaler who vigorously defended the Bush administration's decision to detain alleged illegal enemy combatants without protection under the Third Geneva Convention. . The non-applicability of the Geneva Conventionsto cover illegal combatants is disputed by international jurists. Critics feel that Rumsfeld should have been held personally responsible for the Abu Ghraib torture and prisoner abuse scandal. Rumsfeld himself said, "These events occurred on my watch as secretary of defense. I am accountable for them." Let's not forget however, this was probably preceded by a few well-placed questions to himself such as 1) Did these incidents occur on my watch? Well golly-be ha-ha-ha they sure did. 2) Does that make me a poor Secretary of Defence? Well heck by golly no under my watch we actually managed to shrink the Pentagons' budget.....that is of course if you don't count the money wasted on faulty equipment obtained from Dicks' and Yours' favorite military contractors. Or the billions upon billions of money that will be needed to assist the traumatized and badly amputated areas of the anatomy that were never even a thought before. This also caused by the Rumsfeld/Cheney Military Outfitters Association. Boy it sure is awfully convenient for the criminals that make up this administration from top to bottom that military investigations into the matters did not find ANY responsible for any wrongdoing.

Yup I'm Back And Will Be Blogging My "Brilliant Thoughts" Soon - Lucky You

Well, for better or worse I am back to simply stun you with my "Oh So Brilliant" words of wisdom. However, since I have nothing prepared to post at this time, and since you all know I never dismiss theories or explanations of any happenstance out there - no matter how "conspiratorial"it may appear. You see I have found in all these years, it pays to always keep an open mind and use the "K.I.S.S." principle - (Keep It Simple Stupid). With that in mind, I invite you to watch this Video from YouTube entitled 9/11: A Closer Look. I know many of you view Alex Jones and his supporters as just so many crackpots but do me a favor and keep an open mind while viewing this. An open mind can't hurt, but it sure can shed some much needed light on the subject. If that can do so even a bit then we have accomplished our goals. 1) Opened your mind, and 2)Made you demand answers that make some sense not just slogans to advance the Administrations' cause. And 3rd) Hopefully the country will awaken from the common coma it has been in since 9-11-01. At the very least, let's all wake up BEFORE the next target for George's amusement which may just be the word oblivion. A word that may very well describe his plans for.........IRANYou don't have to just take Alex Jones' words and pictures, or my own sometimes twisted logic. Instead,listen to and answer the questions about the 911 Report especially the honest and legitimate questions from Senator Mark Dayton (MN). I would urge you to read the transcript of his remarks and statements regarding the omissions and outright lies contained in the official 911 Report available here. These words of his should be written in granite and placed at the monument built to honour the thousands murdered on that day (possibly by it's own government).Now that the Kean Commission has published the new time line in its final report, these contradictions cannot be swept under the rug. Either the Kean Commission is wrong, or else NORAD was pushing a flawed time line for more than two years. Either way, the FAA story still differs from both. There can be no excuses. Those responsible for dispensing false information must be held accountable, or else nothing in the behavior of government is likely ever to improve. Instead of accountability, several of the key figures - Gens. Myers and Eberhard, FAA official Ben Sliney - have been promoted since Sept. 11! Yet one or more of them must be wrong about what happened on 9/11.This is the simple point that Sen. Mark Dayton made at the Senate hearings on the 9/11 Commission Report: now that it has accepted the Kean Commission findings, NORAD must explain its old time line, and anyone responsible for pushing a false account, whether intentionally or not, must be held accountable. Read on.... As I said earlier in this post, please pay attention to the facts, accept them with an open mind, and do your best to deny that maniac in the White House another chance to commit mass murder while claiming his "GOD SPOKE TO HIM AND TOLD HIM TO DO IT". Remember, it is not the United States of America that stands on the brink of annihilation here (don't forget it is George that is using the use of the nuclear option here), but the entire universe. We might also keep our eyes wide open to the fact that this is a largely celebrated religious holy day to many. What a perfect day for Georgie, Dickie an the rest of his nut squad to use as a false-flag attack.

The Politics Of Fear

Remember this? All terror all the time:Here We Go Again - Next Up Iran:

War-Monger Cheney Rejected Iranian Help In Iraq

This is total madness. While reading the BBC Online This story jumped out at me.Washington Washington 'snubbed Iran offer' Iran offered the US a package of concessions in 2003, but it was rejected, a senior former US official has told the BBC's Newsnight programme. Tehran proposed ending support for Lebanese and Palestinian militant groups and helping to stabilise Iraq following the US-led invasion. Offers, including making its nuclear programme more transparent, were conditional on the US ending hostility. But Vice-President Dick Cheney's office rejected the plan, the official said.Lawrence Wilkerson, a top aide to then Sec. of State Colin Powell is quoted as saying... "We thought it was a very propitious moment to do that.....But as soon as it got to the White House, and as soon as it got to the Vice-President's office, the old mantra of 'We don't talk to evil'... reasserted itself." If you're not as angry as I am over this, perhaps you should remember that - Hezbollah may not have been in a position to do the kind of damage to Israel during the past 2006 conflict. In fact, they more than likely would not have obtained the political they now enjoy in Lebanon. Hamas probably would not have gained the power they now enjoy when they won a considerable number of seats in the Palestinian parliamentary elections. These revelations can only mean one thing.....Darth Vader Dick does not want peace in the middle-east. This very dangerous psychopath wants a constant state of fear to permeate the country. The more the citizens vote out of fear and turmoil, the more Cheney's view of having a "Unitary Presidential" administration the more power they get. Just remember one thing - a "Unitary President" is in reality just another name for a "dictator". And by the way. Why isn't this the top story in the U.S. mainstream media? Why do we have to get our news from the foreign media?

U.S. Military To Be American Foreign Legion?

It appears the US Military under the leadership of the killing machine known as the Bush Administration will do anything to keep the quagmire of Iraq going. According to Boston.com Pentagon officials are considering expanding the number of noncitizens in the ranks -- including disputed proposals to open recruiting stations overseas and putting more immigrants on a faster track to US citizenship if they volunteer Of course the always pro-war conservatives at American Enterprise Institute speaking through supposed military scholar Thomas Donnelly says "It works as a military idea and it works in the context of American immigration". The article also quotes other Army officials, who asked not to be identified .... personnel officials are working with Congress and other parts of the government to test the feasibility of going beyond US borders to recruit soldiers and Marines. Currently, Pentagon policy stipulates that only immigrants legally residing in the United States are eligible to enlist. There are currently about 30,000 noncitizens who serve in the US armed forces, making up about 2 percent of the active-duty force, according to statistics from the military and the Council on Foreign Relations. About 100 non-citizens have died in Iraq and Afghanistan. A recent change in US law, however, gave the Pentagon authority to bring immigrants to the United States if it determines it is vital to national security. So far, the Pentagon has not taken advantage of it, but the calls are growing to take use the new authority. Read on.... I realize recruiting levels have reached an all-time low, but this is totally ridiculous - unless of course you also have something bigger in the works such as starting a war in Iran. They know damn well what an outcry it would cause if they dared to bring back the draft, so just as they look the other way when big business brings in aliens from Mexico and elsewhere to work at a cheaper wage, they can now wave something even bigger as an incentive CITIZENSHIP. Of course they will neglect to tell them they'll have to dodge bullets and IED's so they can live long enough to claim it.

Bush In Trouble - Ramp Up The Fear Factor

The Emperor turned King turned Dictator is once again in deep crap. Even with polls showing him reaching an all time low in support for his occupation of Iraq, he seems to still show his well-known stubbornness about doing things his way. To hell with advice from the Generals on the ground saying otherwise, he is now determined to increase US forces by 30 to 50 thousand. Where he plans on finding these troops is anyone's guess. And then of course the is also the rumblings of an attack on Iran. So as usual, he uses his over-played fear card. Take a look: December 1st from Fox News: The government warned on Thursday of a possible Internet attack on U.S. stock market and banking Web sites from a radical Muslim group, but officials said the threat was unconfirmed and seemed to pose no immediate danger....Another government official said the threat had appeared on a Web site that called for Muslims to destroy American economic sites. The attacks were to be retaliation for the holding of Muslims at the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, which houses prisoners accused of ties to terrorist groups. December 21st From ABC News: British intelligence and law enforcement officials have passed on a grim assessment to their U.S. counterparts, "It will be a miracle if there isn't a terror attack over the holidays in London," a senior American law enforcement official tells ABCNews.com..... and of course Officials said they could not cite any specific date or target but said al Qaeda had planned previous operations during the Christmas holidays that had been disrupted. December 21st From Reuters: The approach of the year-end holidays has raised general concerns about a possible attack in Europe, but there is no evidence of anything specific or imminent, U.S. officials said on Thursday.....A number of media reports in recent weeks have suggested increasing dangers of an attack in Europe. December 22nd (Australia time) from The Globe & Mail: The Australian government has information that possible terrorist attacks are being planned around Christmas in Indonesia, Foreign Minister Alexander Downer said Friday.....And once againMr. Downer offered no details of any potential attacks but said Australians should heed government warnings to reconsider nonessential travel to the world's most populous Muslim country. All this is taking place at the same time the drumbeat towards an attack on Iran. Read on.....

CanadianPerspective And Blogmaster "canuk" Named Person Of The Year!!!!!

I am ASTOUNDED that CanadianPerspective and its' EXTREMELY UNBIASED and BRILLIANT blog-master canuk were even being considered for this prestigious award let alone be named Time Magazine's Person of the Year. Damn, and I don't even have a "thank-you speech" prepared. Do you think perhaps King George would lend me his writer? After all he appears to be the best to put a good spin on anything. Well of course I start off by thanking God (who I am sure had nothing better to do except examine every human and/or other species), before blessing me with this award. I hear I outnumbered Focus on the Familiy's James Dobson by only ONE vote. Then of course the sharing of this award goes to my agent Corrine the rose lady, and of course my publisher Blogger. If I have missed anyone please forgive me. It is just that I am simply out of words....LOL. My next achievement (that has totally eluded me year after year), will be The Weblog Awards. Of course an investigation is now underway as to why the rumor that I didn't win or even receive a nomination this year is being circulated and who is responsible. Sources close to the investigation are telling me the votes were all tallied by one of them there electronic voting machines, and of course there is no paper trail available. Believe me, a law suit is in the works and my team will be headed by none other than Republican Lawman Jim Baker, who is known to demonstrate God-like abilities in front of the Supreme Court. Joining him as character witnesses will be Tom DeLay, Karl Rove, Randy "Duke" Cunningham, and of course that bastion of law-abiding credentials Jack Abramoff. Negotiations are still going on with Rep. William Jefferson (D-LA)not only to make this a bi-partisan investigation, but also I hear he has an enormous freezer where we can stash our beer. Apparently as soon as Baker can knock some sense into that King George guy over his last report (the ISG's "Operation New Direction") which it is said is being totally rejected, the Iraq Security Group's "Operation New Direction", he will be available for my case. There is also an EXTREMELY VISCIOUS RUMOR making the rounds that the award was actually given to the entire population, (and that EVEN MY AGENT CORRINE won) for their accomplishments using technology. Of course just as Mark Foley expects to be vindicated from the baseless rumors about him, I have to say I also will be vindicated from this rumor, and the 2006 award will be rescinded and given to yours truly.

Arab Leaders Demand U.N. Action Against Israel

Iran along with The Arab League and The Gulf Cooperation Council which includes Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates are demanding the U.N. and the Security Council in particular, to exert pressure on Israel "to open its nuclear facilities in a transparent manner". According to a report from The Australian, during an interview with a German television station the Prime Minister of Israel Ehud Olmert seemed to include Israel as one of the countries that possess nuclear weapons. "We never threatened any nation with annihilation. Iran openly, explicitly and publicly threatens to wipe Israel off the map. Can you say that this is the same level, when they are aspiring to have nuclear weapons, as France, America, Russia and Israel?" he asked. A statement by Mohammed Ali Hosseini Iran's foreign ministry spokesman called Olmert's comments a confession and demanded action from the United Nations. "This confession shows the real threat to security and stability in the Middle East, and it shows this regime's evil plans to carry out threats, a terror strategy and continued occupation." Both groups are demanding action under Chapter VII of the UN charter which deals with action the Security Council might take regarding threats to the peace, breaches of the peace and acts of aggression. Read on... I find it quite interesting that doing a google search, the only news wire that is carrying this information is Agence France-Presse that I used here and the Jerusalem Bureau of the Associated Press through My Way So much for our Bush-loving media.

Tony Snowjob Can't Handle The Truth

Not that that's any surprise where he is concerned, after all he did come to the WH from that bastion of truth Fox News. Sunday in an interview on ABC's "This Week", Sen. Gordon Smith (R-OR) slammed the Bush policy and its' actions in Iraq.It looks as though the Pretend President's press secretary doesn't much care for his own party's Senator Smith and went so far as to call him "emotional", and had this to say when he was asked if he was saying Smith didn't support democracy he responded “I don’t know.” Now it is to be expected that when the public or any progressive dares to question George's policy that their patriotism and support for democracy is questioned. But a Senator from his own party? That says to me, the whole lot of them are running scared since the election and the ISG report came down. Here is the part of the transcript that refers to Senator Smith: Q Okay. Republican Senator Gordon Smith, last week, said, "Our soldiers patrolling the same streets in the same way, being blown up by the same bombs day after day, it's absurd. It may even be criminal," and that he can no longer support this. What is your reaction to a Republican senator saying that what's going on right now in Iraq is criminal? MR. SNOW: Well, we dispute the "criminal" part, obviously, and at the same time, understand the senator's concern. We share the concern about not doing well enough fast enough. But do not assume that people are simply being blown up. They are on missions. And as General Corelli said last week, "There's not an engagement our people have lost, but it is still important to continue the work of building greater capability and capacity on the part of the Iraqi government and helping them out." People on both sides are going to have disagreements, much as Joe Lieberman, formerly a Democrat, apparently run out of his party for disagreeing with what was seen as orthodoxy at that time, but Gordon -- Q Republican Senator Smith is challenging the strategy. What he basically said yesterday, as well, was, when you do the same thing over and over again without a clear strategy for victory, that is dereliction, that is deeply immoral. Such is the dispute. He's saying what the President is doing is immoral. MR. SNOW: Well, then we disagree. Q Tony, first of all, the -- Q You're just going to blow it off? A Republican senator is saying the President's policy may be criminal and it's immoral, and you're just saying, we just disagree? MR. SNOW: And what would you like me to say? Should I do duels at 10 paces? Q Don't you think you should answer for that? You're saying -- you've said from this podium over and over that the strategy is a victory, right? And you have a Republican senator is saying there is no clear strategy, that you don't have a strategy. MR. SNOW: Well, let's let Senator Smith hear what the President has to say. We understand that this is a time where politics are emotional in the wake of an election. And you know what? Senator Smith is entitled to his opinion. But I'm not sure exactly what you would like -- Q Well, how about answering the central thrust about the strategy, not about, like, politics -- MR. SNOW: Okay, the strategy is pretty simple. If you take a look, for instance -- if you take a look at the Baker-Hamilton commission report, what do they talk about? They talk about building greater capability on the part of the Iraqis so that you can have an Iraqi government that governs itself, sustains itself, defends itself, who's ally in the war on terror is a democracy. I don't think it's immoral to be a democracy. I don't think it's immoral to have a state that is able to stand up and defend itself against acts of terror. I don't think it's immoral to defend the Iraqi people against acts of terrorism aimed at Muslims. Q The Senator is not saying that's immoral. He's saying that the U.S. -- he's saying, of course democracy is a great goal -- MR. SNOW: You know what, Ed? Ed, I'll tell you what. You're engaging in an argument and you're trying to fill in the gaps in a -- Q It's not an argument. It's a Republican senator saying it, not me. It's a Republican senator saying it, and he's not -- MR. SNOW: Then tell me exactly what -- Q -- of course he's in favor of democracy. MR. SNOW: Tell me -- Q Are you saying Republican Senator Smith is not in favor of democracy? MR. SNOW: Well, I don't know. You just said he said it's immoral; when I listed the elements of the policy, you said that's not what he was talking about. So please tell me what he was talking about. Wow!! There appears to be quite an implosion going on in the halls of the White House. I don't relish this taking place, because it seems to me that when this administration is imploding, that is when they are the most dangerous. Let's hope they don't choose to use Iran as a way to prove that they're in favor of democracy. The entire transcript of the press briefing is available HERE.... Senator Smith's previous statement on the Iraq policy when he referred to it a "criminal",is available for viewing at Think Progress
