Rumsfeld: “If we can conduct a war in Afghanistan from an office in Florida, I don’t see why we can’t invade Iraq from my ranch in New Mexico. All I’d need is a modem upgrade and a new generation of UCAVs (Unmanned Combat Air Vehicles). Killing by remote control would also shield us from rogue courts and war crimes prosecutors.”

Taming the Arabs

                               Yamin Zakria
                               Updated on 2004-01-09 17:26:34

 Saddam Hussein, despite all his faults, was viewed  in the Arab/Muslim world as a symbol of
 resistance against the Israeli aggression. Being  the only Arab leader to attack Israel with Scud
 missiles earned him that distinct reputation.
 Nonetheless, the norm is that Arab leaders in general excel in internal repression,
 and Saddam was no exception. Now that Saddam Hussein has been finally captured, as have
 most of the senior  members of the Bath party and government, will the US troops finally leave Iraq
and the region  (Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia) as a whole? Not just a ‘reduction’ in
 their presence, but to leave the area completely. As the original pretext of the
 threat posed from Saddam exists no more, nor does the threat of the mythical
WMD, as none have been found to date. The answer is unlikely, simply because,
the war was not about the threat of Saddam or disarming Saddam of his mythical WMD or bringing Saddam to justice on behalf of the people of Iraq.

 The US government knew very well that Iraq had no WMD capability that could
 constitute a threat even to its immediate neighbours let alone the US itself. Collin
 Powell and Condaleza Rice openly broadcasted this on TV, well before the war.
 They even bragged about Iraq’s significantly reduced conventional weapons, whilst
defending the US policy of containing Iraq for a decade through the imposition of
sanctions and the no-fly zone (See John Pilger’s TV documentary).

The disarming of Iraq’s alleged WMD was theONLY  legal ‘justification’ given by
 the coalition forces for invading and attacking asovereign country without any
provocation.

The issue of WMD has now been conveniently reduced to WMD ‘programme’.
entators and analysts onFOX, BBC and CNN use as a fig leaf, when they are questioned on
 the subject. Remember the 45-minute threat alleged by the dossier (plagiarised PHD thesis)
of Tony Blair? It must  have been a typo; perhaps it should have read 45 months or years.
The otherpretext of the 9/11 connections with Iraq has been dismissed by the anti-war camp,
since no clear evidence of such a link has been produced. However, the Bush administration
is telling the truth from its own point of view. One needs to read between the lines.

There is a connection between Iraq and the alleged 9/11 perpetrators,
which is that they are  both part of the Islamic civilisation, or as the more
crude Yanks would say, they are all rag  heads.

 Hence, Iraq war was a form of collective punishment dispensed to the Islamic world in
 return for 9/11 (other reasons are discussed later). This needs to be inferred, as it is
 unacceptable to use such language in the diplomatic arena.  
Then comes the issue of bringing Saddam to ‘justice’ on behalf of the Iraqi
 people, as Saddam’s crimes were largely committed against his own people and its
neighbours but not  the Americans. So, why does that automatically give the Americans
 right to attack Iraq? By  that principal, any of the Arab countries can also attack Britain as
she has been oppressing  the Irish population for centuries? Could America itself not also be
attacked for the numerous genocides carried out, ever since the European colonisers moved
to settle in the  US? The war with Iran was instigated and supported by the US. The convenient
 explanation is, that at that time, with the cold war climate along with the threat of
Islamic  fundamentalism from Iran, the US was ‘forced’ to pursue such a policy. When
 Halabja was gassed in 1988, it did not even make the news headlines, nor did it arouse
 passion amongst those in the Whitehouse, who are now constantly bragging about their
 lofty moral  principles. On the contrary, US companies with the direct support of the White
 House  continued to supply lethal chemical and biological materials, knowing that theywere
 profiting from the blood of innocent victims in Iraq. So much for their innocence!
 No  wonder, the US wants to bring JUST Saddam to ‘Justice’ and not his accomplices who
 have sustained his supply line for decades. The SUDDEN desire of the US to bring Saddam
 to ‘justice’ is not due to genuine love for the people of Iraq but an attempt to give some sort of
‘moral justification’ for the invasion and the subsequent carnage, as it had no  legal basis in the
 first place. Why did the US not have sudden affection to remove the apartheid regime in South
 Africa? Was it because it reminded her too much of Israel and the nostalgia of her own apartheid
 system, that was eventually removed by the civil rights movement! Why does the US not have the
same affection towards the Palestinians and  bring Israel to ‘justice’? The few Arabs/Muslim who
 are applauding the US at this moment ought to think away from their narrow vision, and contemplate
 on the US track record and her intention in the region. It is certainly not benevolent. Capitalist nations
 are not charitable .

Only The Wind  By Carol Schiffler

Con'spir'a'cy (n.)
1. An agreement to perform together an illegal,
   wrongful, or subversive act.

2. A group of conspirators.

3. Law. An agreement between two or more
   persons to commit a crime or accomplish a
   legal purpose through illegal action.

4. A joining or acting together, as if by sinister
  design: a conspiracy of wind and tide that
  devastated coastal areas.

Horror film fans will recognize the following
dramatic convention:
A well-scrubbed American family moves into a
rambling farmhouse in the middle of nowhere.
For about a week !! twenty minutes in movie years!
the family is happier than they have ever been.
Mom plants a garden, Dad throws sticks for the
dog, the children do a lot of giggling and running
through fields of wildflowers.
One day, Dad is in the bathroom washing up after
another jolly good romp with Rover, when all of a
sudden he notices that the tap water has turned a
suspicious shade of red, the walls seem to be
breathing, and there is a disembodied head
hovering above the laundry hamper. It is speaking
in Latin. Dad squeezes his eyes shut and begins to
hyperventilate. The audience knows this is the
wrong response. A much better approach would
be to run down the stairs screeching like a scalded
dog, pack up the family, and move into the Motel
Six, at least until a suitable exorcist can be
located. But no.

Dad's no sissy. So this bastion of American
manliness wipes his face, tells himself he must
be coming down with something, and adjusting
the pleats in his Dockers, strolls nonchalantly
out of the bathroom to join his family for the
evening meal. Later, when his wife starts
levitating in the middle of the night and the
 children are sucked into the television set, it
will be a little harder for Dad to ignore the fact
that his new house is trying to kill him. But for
 now, Dad tells himself, "Relax.

It is only the wind."
Why does this hackneyed scene work so well
although it is drawn time and again from the
horror filmmaker's toolbox Perhaps it is because
every American raised with the proper amount of
cognitive repression understands that if an
otherwise rational person seriously broaches the
subject of "spooky stuff" around the water cooler,
it is the cultural equivalent of farting in church.
Just ask a conspiracy theorist. (By the way, how
did you feel when you read the words, "conspiracy
theory"? Did you recoil just a little? Do you now
feel like you will have to struggle to keep an open
mind about the words that follow? If so, the
government has done its job. Read on.)

This month's Nexus Magazine contains an
interesting article by Donald W. Scott called,
"My coplasmas and Neurosystemic Diseases,"
http://www.nexusmagazine.com/mycoplasma.html
Although considered a fringe publication by some,
there is nothing in Mr. Scott's article that suggests
the presence of a tinfoil hat. The first portion of
the piece deals with the mechanisms by which
pathogenic mycoplasm infects a host cell. Scott
then takes us on a trip down memory lane to the
idyllic days of the 1950's when Mom was planting
a garden, Dad was throwing a stick for the dog,
and the Pentagon, in conjunction with the
Canadian government, decided it might be a nice
idea to test their new biological weapons on the
city of Winnipeg.

The chemical deployed was a watered down
version of the real deal, but it was still enough to
sicken one third of the Winnipeg population.

Symptoms ranged from a sore throat to ringing in
the ears. In order to obtain official cooperation,
the Pentagon told the mayor of Winnipeg that they
were testing a "chemical fog?that would protect
Winnipeg in the event of a nuclear attack."

Now if Mr. Scott had trotted this information our
prior to May 14, 1997, he would have almost
certainly be labeled a "conspiracy theorist." But
on that day, the Pentagon called a press
conference where they admitted the whole sordid
affair. How nice of them to come clean forty years
after the fact. As it turns out, the same biological
agent tested on the unsuspecting citizens of
Winnipeg may be capable of producing a number
of strategically useful illnesses such as AIDS,
multiple sclerosis, and chronic fatigue syndrome.
Whether or not you believe that the Cold War Era
scientific community possessed the technological
sophistication to whip up a batch of jiffy germs, it
is clear that the army though it could. Scott reports
that upon discharge from the service, one
bacteriological warfare specialist who routinely
handled the mycoplasmic goop received papers
informing him that if he were to develop multiple
sclerosis within two years of leaving the service,
he was entitled to disability compensation which
is "payable to eligible veterans whose disabilities
are due to service."

Now I cannot remember when I first heard gay
activists propose that AIDS was a government gig,
but I believe it was sometime in the late eighties.

The earliest information I could find on the
internet was dated 1990, although another article
made reference to the work of Dr. Robert B.
Strecker who stumbled upon evidence of this in
1983. Whatever the original source, by the early
nineties, this was a pretty hot topic of
conversation, and proponents of the idea that
AIDS was a made to order Pentagon disease were
promptly labeled "conspiracy theorists." As with
the government?s role in weaponizing biological
agents in order to enhance the likelihood of
multiple sclerosis, whether or not you believe they
were successful, there is ample proof that the
military intended to develop an AIDS-like illness.
At a House Appropriations hearing in 1969, the
Defense Department's Biological Warfare (BW)
division requested funds to develop a new disease
that would both resist and break down a victim's
immune system, ("A Higher Form of Killing: The
Secret Story of Chemical and Biological
Warfare," by R. Harris and J. Paxman). It should
be noted that the Appropriations Committee
approved the funds.
We have proof of intent and proof of motive. In
many cases we have the government equivalent of
receipts for funds to implement covert operations.
We have enough evidence to withstand
cross-examination by Judge Wapner, for Heaven's
sake, yet somehow, when it comes down to the
nuts and bolts of assembling the pieces, the
American public tells itself, "Relax. It is only the
wind."
Well there are winds, and there are typhoons, and
the same decade that saw the Pentagon emerge
as the Betty Crocker of germ warfare, begat a
biological threat of a different sort. On April 13,
1953, the CIA birthed a hideous child known as
MKULTRA. Operating on the principle that it
might be more fun to drive people insane rather
than just kill them outright, an early project draft
asks, "Can we get control of an individual to the
point where he will do our bidding against his will
and even against the fundamental laws of nature
such as self-preservation?" How would it be
possible to get a person in such a useful state?
The R & D boys came up with a two-pronged attack
plan. One approach was strictly pharmaceutical,
with LSD as the drug of choice. The second
approach was to use the drugs in combination with
physical stressors such as sleep deprivation, verbal
degradation, sensory deprivation, starvation, and
electro-shock. Some of the human subjects used in
these bizarre experiments were volunteers, but
some were not. Some of the subjects lived to tell a
Congressional investigating committee their story;
others did not.

One who did not was Dr. Frank Olson who hurled
himself out of a tenth floor window after a
meeting with Sidney Gottlieb who headed the
CIA?s Technical Services Staff. Olson was a
scientist for the U.S. Army?s Chemical Corps
Special Operations Division. Gottlieb was, at the
time, experimenting with the effects of tossing
hallucinogens in the punch bowls of unsuspecting
citizens. Suicide, of course, was not the desired
outcome of the MKULTRA experiments. In order
for a subject to be useful, he or she had to be alive
and programmable. Popular media refers to this
state as being "brain-washed," a word that
conjures mental pictures of Grade B spy flicks
where evil Communists with bad accents stick
bamboo shoots under the fingernails of a
relentlessly square-jawed American agent. The
technical mechanisms employed by the CIA,
however, were far more sophisticated than
bamboo shoots, and the ultimate effect was to
create an individual who could dissociate their
personality on cue. The beauty of this plan was
that test subjects manipulated in this manner
would present themselves as a bunch of loonies
should they ever attempt to expose the agency.
To that end, the CIA partnered with at least 80
different institutions, including 44 colleges and
universities, 15 research foundations or chemical
and pharmaceutical companies, 12 hospitals and
clinics, and 3 penal institutions. This is all a
matter of public record,
(http://142.176.17.31/~pjproject/Mkultra/),
documented by the Congressional Church
committee. Everything from hypnosis to
psycho-surgery was employed, in combination
with drugs and what amounted to ritual abuse, in
order to find the recipe for the perfect
programmable spy.

Many of those responsible for these grotesque
experiments are still alive and gainfully employed
by the U.S. government or associated research
facilities. And the survivors of these atrocities are
still out there as well, American citizens who are
living testimonies to some of the most horrendous
human rights violations we have witnessed in our
lifetime.

But how many of us have even heard of
MKULTRA? Discredited as "conspiracy
theorists," the MKULTRA survivors continue to
wage a desperate campaign to keep this important
piece of our history alive, and many insist that the
CIA is still engaged in the unsavory practice of
testing their latest widgets on the unwitting and
unwary public. They insist that the project has not,
in fact, ceased, but has merely changed shift
supervisors, with privately funded contractors tied
to the government taking up where the CIA left
off. Anyone familiar with the wheeling and
dealings of the Iran-Contra years and the bogus
drug wars in Columbia would recognize these
tactics. Yet these people who have first-hand
experience with just how low our government can
go, are consistently marginalized and dismissed,
the "conspiracy theorist" label effectively doing its
job.

Award-winning journalist Robert Parry gave an
excellent speech in Santa Monica on March 28,
1993. The subject of the speech was Iran-Contra,
and he tells a compelling tale of government
conspiracy and media duplicity. The full text of
this speech can be found at
http://www.copi.com/articles/rparry_a.html
There is a part of the speech where Parry talks of
how he was asked to investigate a project known
as "October Surprise." Many readers will
recognize this as the ploy of the Reagan-Bush
machine seeking to sabotage the Carter campaign
by delaying the release of the hostages in Iran
until after his re-election bid. States Parry,
"?obviously for a long time the North network
was just a 'crazy conspiracy theory', and then the
idea that Bush was involved was a 'crazy
conspiracy theory', and the idea that there was a
cover-up was a 'crazy conspiracy theory', and I'd
seen all these conspiracy theories actually turn out
to be true, so I really didn't want to discount
anything without having looked at it carefully."
This is not, by the way, just a good tip for
investigative journalists. It is wise advice for all
responsible citizens, regardless of career
aspirations.

But how to discover the truth? Parry states, "What
I think is the bottom line?is that we are in great
danger of losing our grasp of reality. Our history
has been taken away from us in key ways. We?ve
been lied to often. And important things have been
blocked from us." In other words, the water from
the spigot has turned to blood before, and the
walls were breathing in a not-so-distant place and
at a not-so-distant time. Yet still we manage to
compose ourselves, go to work, go to the Mall, go
over the river and through the woods to
Grandmother?s house, rushing here and there with
no sense of history and no sense of reality attached
to our past. We are in a perpetual state of the
omnipresent Present.

In the 1970?s, we discovered that the "conspiracy
theories" of the ?50?s and ?60?s were reality.
People were, in fact, being "brain-washed" in
experiments conducted by our own government
against innocent, unwilling American citizens.
People suffered as a result of these experiments,
and in some cases, people died. Some of the "test
subjects" are still suffering today.

In the late 80's and early, 90's, we discovered
that the conspiracy theories of a previous decade
were reality. Yes indeed, our government did trade
arms for hostages, they did train mercenaries, and
they did conspire to overthrow a peaceful and
orderly Latin American country. Children were
massacred, women were raped, men were tortured.
What will we discover in the year 2010, Will we
find that ugly and unspeakable things happened
during Election 2000! Will we learn the truth
about Dick Cheney?'s closed-door meetings on
energy and social security?
Will we like what we discover? Will we finally
 glimpse the master plan behind Star Wars and
FCC deregulatory rulings.
Or have we all simply become so used to the
Latin-speaking, disembodied head that we invite
 it to go bowling instead of demanding that it return
to the dark place from whence it came? George
Santayana once said those who do not learn the
lessons of history are doomed to repeat them.
The house of democracy has been haunted by
evil spirits in the past.
 We have discovered that there really is a hand
 living under the bed and a Boogey man dwelling
in our closet. Yet time and again,those who point these things out to us are labeled conspiracy
theorists, while we pat ourselves on the backs and congratulate ourselves for being pillars of rational
thought.

It would seem that the true gatekeepers at the
Citadel of Sanity are those who are cooling their
heels at the Motel Six and biding their time until
the exorcist arrives.

The rest of us shift uncomfortably in our La-Z-boy recliners, a gnawing feeling of familiarity in the pits
of our stomachs, and as the eleven o?clock news spews out a torrent of clever sound bites and glitzy
photo-ops, we turn to each other and say, "Relax.
It is only the wind." 2001 Carol Schiffler

MOREON PIE PLATES UNDER HATS

It’s like water clear this stuff is only a big diversion, in my opinion check out Mind Control there
are oceans of web sites on Goggle and other the search engines  the sites are almost religious...
In there editors belief system's I say systems because  they say once "THEY " are in you THEY
control  you forever (so how do The Editors break free? To give there warnings about mind control
if they have got to them in there brain’s  )  even Timothy Mc Veigh‘s was alleged to have complained
that "THEY" implanted him & plugged him in to a transmitter now that is the opposite of his posture
of a totally " I AM "  the boss, the master of my fate" pail rider skin head buzz cut loan wolf dude...
Allz I can say is IF you have voices in your head telling you to do bad stuff to people you don't even
know and you can remember what they say get a pencil and paper and right it down and note the
date and place and turn your self in to your self ! That is take responsibility for the fact that the
dreamer is all of the parts of the dream. What ever we think, in there or out there or in it  would be
IN there the sum total of a waking dream  or night- mare is from the world to you through your five senses ( seeing ,hearing , smelling ,touching & tasting ) I don't believe any one would create a
device that could override that and not exploit it further than putting stupid ideas in zombies heads
so they would do what they are told also I very much doubt that any one can afford to transmit a
personal “evil kill order” to you, you have the “control switch” ...  Switch to a pencil and paper will
usually work ok so then if you read the stuff out loud to your self and its still real scary save it, then
later after awhile have a trusted friend or  family ends read it again but out loud and that way you
can figure out for sure if its stuff in  your head is the urgent feeling to act  on the voices command)
and have one of your friends read it again but out loud and that way you can figure out for sure if its
 stuff in  your head is your stuff or someone's "orders".  Because this sounds like advice to a real
person that " hears voices in there head " I must offer the standard disclaimer the devil mad me do
 it is not a good excuse because receiving the transmission of " evil thoughts " is not a legitimate legal defense in any court of law on the planet earth or for that matter any of the 3 dimension’s of
life where physical action may occur is still a place where YOU are responsible for what ever you
do even if you think you are not .

Please read the Nuremberg Law pertaining to that in times of WAR., But this is the web and MY
disclaimer applies my intent is not to advise any one  to become a playwright but worse thing could
happen to the voices in your head to find a reality in speech of others so you can think about what
you think about the mind is vastly huge &  flexible and it and will only grow if  you "think" out loud
give your self permission to express your deepest innermost  thoughts loves hates fears whatever
write songs  poems plays perform them and the big monster will go away because ( No devils no
 gods no angels no holey mission no evil stupid killing machine no implant can make you do
something only you are responsible for what your sack of meat does so watch it Bub !) you can say
any thing you want out loud and it will prove weather you are a Schizophrenic nut-ball or a budding
playwright or novelist or poet just remember to put on your Aluminum pie plate hat under your watch
cap so no more transitions come in.  Also visit the copy right webs.
First thought best thought. If it doesn't scare you what good is it, oh yeah it might make you
laugh. There is more money in funny stuff, go to a comedy club and nock um dead ( make them
laugh there ass’s off . Just tell them exactly what you think, most inner thoughts that are scary to
us are really funny when spoken out loud.  Frame some of you're most scary thoughts as Questions
and ask the audience " Did you ever wonder if YOU were being controlled  and wonder who
controls the controllers of the  controllers controllers?"  Any thing that pops into your head
could be a 3rd rate SI-FI plot because that stuff is old transmutations ( On T-V ) but the original
order from a fresh tape will have the quality of vintage paranoia and most of it will pay the rent in
 one way or other ask Mr George Carlen or Mr Steven King there both as nutty as a fruit cake but
they both are both laughing all the way to the bank...

   As my pal Blinkey Poltrune  the missing Sludg Bunny always sayz and fifth betel

 "Bitter ain’t funny, just comes across lame and third grade.
 "Funny is money ,as they say in 'the biz."
   Later! ED.

BERLIN Germany's role as Israel's most steadfast European ally, a foreign policy doctrine
that was enshrined and sustained by the legacy of the Holocaust,is beginning to crack with
 the country quietly suspending weapons sales to Israel and leading politicians, led by conservatives, employing strikingly harsh language to criticize Israeli military action in the
 West Bank policy adviser to Prime Ministe Ariel Sharon of Israel, that were described as
"cool." "In a widely publicized letter to Israel's ambassador to Germany, Norbert Bluem, a
 former labor minister under Chancellor Helmut Kohl, described the Israeli offensive as a
"war of annihilation" - the very term employed by Adolf Hitler to describe the 1941 invasion
 of the Soviet Union."

DU: Cancer as a Weapon Radioactive War

At the close of the Gulf War, Saddam Hussein
was denounced as a ferocious villain for ordering his retreating troops to
destroy Kuwaiti oil fields,clotting the air with poisonous clouds of black
smoke and saturating the ground with swamps of crude. It was justly called
an environmental war crime.

But months of bombing of Iraq by US and British planes and cruise missiles
has left behind an evenmore deadly and insidious legacy: .
                         Tons of shell casings, bullets and bomb fragments
                        laced with depleted uranium. In all, the US hit Iraqi
                       targets with more than 970 radioactive bombs and
                         missiles.

                         More than 10 years later, the health
                         consequences from this radioactive bombing
                         campaign are beginning to come into focus. And
                         they are dire, indeed. Iraqi physicians call it "the
                         white death"-leukemia. Since 1990, the incident
                         rate of leukemia in Iraq has grown by more than
                         600 percent. The situation is compounded by
                         Iraq's forced isolations and the sadistic sanctions
                         regime, recently described by UN secretary
                         general Kofi Annan as "a humanitarian crisis", that
                         makes detection and treatment of the cancers all
                         the more difficult.

                         "We have proof of traces of DU in samples taken
                         for analysis and that is really bad for those who
                         assert that cancer cases have grown for other
                         reasons," says Dr. Umid Mubarak, Iraq's health
                         minister.

                         Mubarak contends that the US's fear of facing the
                         health and environmental consequences of its DU
                         bombing campaign is partly behind its failure to
                         follow through on its commitments under a deal
                         allowing Iraq to sell some of its vast oil reserves
                         in return for food and medical supplies.

                         "The desert dust carries death," said Dr. Jawad
                         Al-Ali, an oncologist and member England's Royal
                         Society of Physicians. "Our studies indicate that
                         more than forty percent of the population around
                         Basra will get cancer. We are living through
                         another Hiroshima."

                         Most of the leukemia and cancer victims aren't
                         soldiers. They are civilians. And many of them are
                         children. The US-dominated Iraqi Sanctions
                         Committee in New York has denied Iraq's
                         repeated requests for cancer treatment
                         equipment and drugs, even painkillers such as
                         morphine. As a result, the overflowing hospitals in
                         towns such as Basra are left to treat the
                         cancer-stricken with aspirin.

                         This is part of a larger horror inflicted on Iraq that
                         sees as many as 180 children dying every day,
                         according to mortality figures compiled by
                         UNICEF, from a catalogue of diseases from the
                         19th century: cholera, dysentery, tuberculosis, e.
                         coli, mumps, measles, influenza.

                         Iraqis and Kuwaitis aren't the only ones showing
                         signs of uranium contamination and sickness. Gulf
                         War veterans, plagued by a variety of illnesses,
                         have been found to have traces of uranium in
                         their blood, feces, urine and semen.

                         Depleted uranium is a rather benign sounding
                         name for uranium-238, the trace elements left
                         behind when the fissionable material is extracted
                         from uranium-235 for use in nuclear reactors and
                         weapons. For decades, this waste was a
                         radioactive nuisance, piling up at plutonium
                         processing plants across the country. By the late
                         1980s there was nearly a billion tons of the
                         material.

                         Then weapons designers at the Pentagon came
                         up with a use for the tailings: they could be
                         molded into bullets and bombs. The material was
                         free and there was plenty at hand. Also uranium
                         is a heavy metal, denser than lead. This makes it
                         perfect for use in armor-penetrating weapons,
                         designed to destroy tanks, armored-personnel
                         carriers and bunkers.

                         When the tank-busting bombs explode, the
                         depleted uranium oxidizes into microscopic
                         fragments that float through the air like
                         carcinogenic dust, carried on the desert winds for
                         decades. The lethal dust is inhaled, sticks to the
                         fibers of the lungs, and eventually begins to wreck
                         havoc on the body: tumors, hemorrhages,
                         ravaged immune systems, leukemias.

                         In 1943, the doomsday men associated with the
                         Manhattan Project speculated that uranium and
                         other radioactive materials could be spread
                         across wide swaths of land to contain opposing
                         armies. Gen. Leslie Grove, head of the project,
                         asserted that uranium weapons could be
                         expected to cause "permanent lung damage." In
                         the late, 1950s Al Gore's father, the senator from
                         Tennessee, proposed dousing the demilitarized
                         zone in Korea with uranium as a cheap failsafe
                         against an attack from the North Koreans.

                         After the Gulf War, Pentagon war planners were
                         so delighted with the performance of their
                         radioactive weapons that ordered a new arsenal
                         and under Bill Clinton's orders fired them at Serb
                         positions in Bosnia, Kosovo and Serbia. More
                         than a 100 of the DU bombs have been used in
                         the Balkans over the last six years.

                         Already medical teams in the region have
                         detected cancer clusters near the bomb sites. The
                         leukemia rate in Sarajevo, pummeled by
                         American bombs in 1996, has tripled in the last
                         five years. But it's not just the Serbs who are ill
                         and dying. NATO and UN peacekeepers in the
                         region are also coming down with cancer. As of
                         January 23, eight Italian soldiers who served in
                         the region have died of leukemia.

                         The Pentagon has shuffled through a variety of
                         rationales and excuses. First, the Defense
                         Department shrugged off concerns about
                         Depleted Uranium as wild conspiracy theories by
                         peace activists, environmentalists and Iraqi
                         propagandists. When the US's NATO allies
                         demanded that the US disclose the chemical and
                         metallic properties of its munitions, the Pentagon
                         refused. It has also refused to order testing of US
                         soldiers stationed in the Gulf and the Balkans.

                         If the US has been keeping silent, the Brits
                         haven't been. A 1991 study by the UK Atomic
                         Energy Authority predicted that if less than 10
                         percent of the particles released by depleted
                         uranium weapons used in Iraq and Kuwait were
                         inhaled it could result in as many as "300,000
                         probable deaths."

                         The British estimate assumed that the only
                         radioactive ingredient in the bombs dropped on
                         Iraq was depleted uranium. It wasn't. A new
                         study of the materials inside these weapons
                         describes them as a "nuclear cocktail," containing
                         a mix of radioactive elements, including plutonium
                         and the highly radioactive isotope uranium-236.
                         These elements are 100,000 times more
                         dangerous than depleted uranium.

                         Typically, the Pentagon has tried to dump the
                         blame on the Department of Energy's sloppy
                         handling of its weapons production plants. This is
                         how Pentagon spokesman Craig Quigley
                         described the situation in chop-logic worthy of the
                         pen of Joseph Heller.: "The source of the
                         contamination as best we can understand it now
                         was the plants themselves that produced the
                         Depleted uranium during the 20 some year time
                         frame when the DU was produced."  

                         Indeed, the problems at DoE nuclear sites and the
                         contamination of its workers and contractors
                         have been well-known since the 1980s. A 1991
                         Energy Department memo reports: "during the
                         process of making fuel for nuclear reactors and
                         elements for nuclear weapons, the Paducah
                         gaseous diffusion plant... created depleted
                         uranium potentially containing neptunium and
                         plutonium"

                         But such excuses in the absence of any action to
                         address the situation are growing very thin
                         indeed. Doug Rokke, the health physicist for the
                         US Army who oversaw the partial clean up of
                         depleted uranium bomb fragments in Kuwait, is
                         now sick. His body registers 5,000 times the level
                         of radiation considered "safe". He knows where
                         to place the blame. "There can be no reasonable
                         doubt about this," Rokke recently told British
                         journalist John Pilger. "As a result of heavy metal
                         and radiological poison of DU, people in southern
                         Iraq are experiencing respiratory problems,
                         kidney problems, cancers. Members of my own
                         team have died or are dying from cancer."

                         Depleted uranium has a half-life of more than 4
                         billion years, approximately the age of the Earth.
                         Thousand of acres of land in the Balkans, Kuwait
                         and southern Iraq have been contaminated
                         forever. If George Bush Sr., Dick Cheney, Colin
                         Powell and Bill Clinton are still casting about for a
                         legacy, there's grim one that will stay around for
                         an eternity. CP

 Where is ‘free’ Iraq now? Her economy has been opened up by the US
 (rather then the ‘free’ Iraqis) to the foreign companies (including Israel), in a manner that even
 ‘free’ America would not do to its own economy. Where are the ‘free Iraqis’ that are authorising
the likes of Halliburton and Bechtel to make use of Iraq’s oil and other resources? What  happened
 to the billions of dollars worth of oil revenues, that is unaccounted for?

Bush and Blair are constantly announcing their agenda on behalf of the ‘free’ Iraqis but yet
 they are unwilling to give them a voice by holding free elections. It is amazing how a foreign
nation can speak on behalf of another nation without legal or moral authority. Iraq is not
 ready to be ‘free’, simply because the climate is not yet suitable for preserving US  interests.
   Grooming a suitable puppet can take a while. A cursory glance at the small numbers in the demonstrations being held in Iraq reflects what the Iraqis truly think about the capture of Saddam Hussein.

 Not that they love him, but many realise that the US has ulteriormotives.  Just like when Saddam’s statute was symbolically toppled, rather than giving an aerial view  that clearly showed how few
 the actual number of people present were, a close-up was telecasted, which presented a
 misleading impression of that events. In fact, the mass demonstrations held in the Sunni area in support of Saddam after his arrest may not be awesome but certainly larger then the support for
 any of the US appointed members, within the Iraqi governing council. Now, the other figure that continues to rise is of the victims in the mass graves.

 Perhaps the numbers will reach six million, when it becomes an indisputable fact that
 gets televised constantly. Sounds familiar? What about the victims of the US and its coalition
forces as a result of this illegal war? Who will bring them to justice for their heinous crimes?
 What about the cluster bombs and the depleted uranium that continues to kill and poison Iraq?
 The ordinary Arabs/Muslims and most of the world know who are the real war criminals.  

 For those who are already clear about the hypocrisy and the lies of this illegal war, they will
 shout “oil” as being the reason for this invasion and occupation, and most certainly it is a factor.
 The US (not ‘free’ Iraqis) had no qualm in prohibiting the war opponents  (Germany,  France
 and Russia) from bidding for the war booty. Which left no doubt about“oil” rather then “liberation”
 as being one of the primary factors for the invasion. Remember, the oil  ministries were never hit unlike every other building in Iraq, and it was the first thing that was secured well before other less significant places like hospitals, water plants, electricity  etc.  

Apart from oil there is another reason for this occupation, something that many of the
simplistic minded Arabs/Muslims are failing to comprehend due to their short-term vision of
  the situation, as well as being seduced by the propaganda that constantly emanates from the Whitehouse.
 In the mean time some are knowingly lining up with the US, hoping to get a  slice of the cake
from the victor. Of course they will also continue the tradition like previous and other Arab
 regimes, of using their positions to inflate their bank accounts, build palaces, torture chambers
 and buy endless amounts of weapons to ‘defend’ themselves against their own population.

Lets face it; Iraq is not the only place in the world or the Middle East where the torture chamber existed. Try looking into Saudi Arabia or Turkey or Egypt but of course, that is inconvenient at the moment, as they are all good US allies.

 As for the US the war is not about Saddam, billions of pounds are not spent with the loss of lives
just for the sake of one tin pot dictator. They have a clear vision. As Condoleezza  Rice and Bush, stated many times, democratising Iraq would be an example for the rest of the region.

The implication is that its fate has already been decided by the US rather then  being left  to the
Iraqis, who may not aspire for such a model as the early signs clearly  indicated. No wonder
the US is reluctant to hold free elections at this momenteven though it brags about ‘free’ Iraq.  

Then comes the interesting issue of Saddam’s trial. The US as usual is using Hobsons logic.
If Saddam states what the US wants to hear then he is telling the truth, otherwise it is a lie.

The US is already very apprehensive about the Hague, as it is a European institution and  may not
 be able to control what Saddam spills out. Therefore, he most likely will either be tortured by the US,
or by proxy the CPA will do an excellent job.
 Eventually a show trial  will commence, where only selected information is likely to be leaked to the public or he may commit ‘suicide’ like that of Dr David Kelly! What everyone also expects is
 the possibility of some sort of deal with Saddam, whereby he acknowledges the possession of
 WMD and then its transfer to Syria and/or Iran. That would be really magic, as it would vindicate
Bush and Blair for going to war and also gives the green light to the Neo-Cons, chicken Hawks to
prepare their tanks to roll into Damascus and/or Tehran.

Depleted uranium is a waste obtained from producing fuel for nuclear
reactors and atomic bombs. The material used in civil and nuclear military
industry is uranium U-235, the isotope which can be fissioned. Since this
isotope is found in very low proportions in nature, the uranium ore has to
be enriched, i.e., its proportion of the U-235 isotope has to be
industrially increased. This pocess produces a large amount of radioactive
depleted uranium waste, thus named because it is mainly formed by the other
non-fissionable uranium isotope, U-238 and a minimum proportion of U-235.
American military industry has been using depleted uranium to coat
conventional weaponry (artillery, tanks and aircraft) since 1977, to
protect its own tanks, as a counterweight in aircraft and Tomahawk missiles
and as a component for navigation instruments. This is due to depleted
uranium having characteristics making it highly attractive for military
technology: firstly, it is extremely dense and heavy (1 cm3 weighs almost
19 grammes), such that projectiles with a depleted uranium head can
penetrate the armoured steel of military vehicles and buildings; secondly,
it is a spontaneous pyrophoric material, i.e., it inflames when reaching
its target generating such heat that it explodes.
After more than 50 years producing atomic weapons and nuclear energy, the
USA has 500,000 tonnes of depleted uranium stored, according to official
data. Depleted uranium is radioactive also and has an average lifetime of
4.5 thousand million years. This is why such waste has to be stored safely
for an indefinite period of time, an extremely costly procedure. In order
to save money and empty their tanks, the Department of Defence and Energy
assigns depleted uranium free of charge to national and foreign armament
companies. Apart from the USA, countries like the United Kingdom, France,
Canada, Russia, Greece, Turkey, Israel, the Gulf monarchies, Taiwan, South
Korea, Pakistan or Japan purchase or manufacture weapons with depleted
uranium.
When a projectile hits a target, 70% of its depleted uranium burns
and oxidizes, bursting into highly toxic, radioactive micro particles.
Being so tiny, these particles can be ingested or inhaled after being
deposited on the ground or carried kilometres away by the wind, the food
chain or water. A 1995 technical report issued by the American Army
indicates that "if depleted uranium enters the body, it has the
potentiality of causing serious medical consequences. The associated risk
is both chemical and radiological". Deposited in the lungs or kidneys,
uranium 238 and products from its decay (thorium 234, protactinium and
other uranium isotopes) give off alpha and beta radiations which cause cell
death and genetic mutations causing cancer in exposed individuals and
genetic abnormalities in their descendents over the years.
In its 110,000 air raids against Iraq, the US A-10 Warthog aircraft
launched 940,000 depleted uranium projectiles, and in the land
offensive, its M60, M1 and M1A1 tanks fired a further 4,000 larger caliber
also uranium projectiles.

It is estimated that there are 300 tonnes of radioactive waste in the area
which might have already affected 250,000 Iraqis.
After the Gulf War, Iraqi and international epidemiological
investigations have enabled the environmental pollution due to using this
kind of weapon to be associated with the appearance of new, very difficult
to diagnose diseases (serious immunodeficiencies, for instance) and the
spectacular increase in congenital malformations and cancer, both in the
Iraqi population and amongst several thousands of American and British
veterans and in their children, a clinical condition known as Gulf War
Syndrome. Similar symptoms to those of the Gulf War have been described
amongst a thousand children residing in areas of the former Yugoslavia (Bosnia)
where American aviation also used depleted uranium bombs in 1996, the same
as in the NATO intervention against the Yugoslavia in 1999.
