Antiwar.com Original Articles : Ron Paul Gets One Wrong

Not stopping them from what they do to Palestinians is an amoral and immoral thing to do, considering past support for Israel is what has made their total control and continuing brutal occupation possible. HIlary Clinton told the pakistanis -(paraphrasing) hey, you don't have to take our aid, but if you do there are concessions that have to be made. This is fantasy thinking that the US would be consistent and fair anyway. The israeli belligerence toward iran might be to get the world off their backs about this issue.

From the document link:

A note on translation: The quality of the English translation provided to the CTC is not adequate throughout. When the translation was deemed inadequate, quotations cited in this report have either been amended or translated anew by Nelly Lahoud. Furthermore, the conversion of the dating of the letters from the Hijri to the Gregorian calendar is inaccurate in some places. The Appendix provides corrected dates to some of the letters, along with some pointers on how some letters relate to others. For those wishing to conduct their own analysis of the documents, it is highly recommended to refer to the original Arabic documents, not the translations.

And to the Author John Glaser.. shshh. Every unforced error is blessing. Let them score their own goals.

Antiwar.com Blog : MEK and the Unspeakable Chaos of the Rule of Law

there are precedents. Boricua Popular Army and specifically Pedro Albizu Campos

In 1948, a bill was introduced before the Puerto Rican Senate which authorized the repeated arrest of Albizu Campos, and a round-the-clock surveillance of every Nationalist in Puerto Rico. The Senate at the time was controlled by the PPD and presided by Luis Muñoz Marín.[21] The bill, known as Law 53 and the Ley de la Mordaza (Gag Law), passed the legislature on May 21, 1948 and was signed into law on June 10, 1948, by the U.S.-appointed governor of Puerto Rico Jesús T. Piñero. It closely resembled the anti-communist Smith Law passed in the United States - and it created as much chaos on the island, as Senator Joseph McCarthy and the House Un-American Activities Committee did, on the mainland U.S.[22] Under this law it became a crime to own or display a Puerto Rican flag anywhere, even in one's own home. It also became a crime to speak against the U.S. government; to speak in favor of Puerto Rican independence; to print, publish, sell or exhibit any material intended to paralyze or destroy the insular government; or to organize any society, group or assembly of people with a similar destructive intent. Anyone accused and found guilty of disobeying the law could be sentenced to ten years imprisonment, a fine of $10,000 dollars (US), or both.

The repugnant politicos who gladly sell themselves for 30 pieces of silver to back the equivalent of Jim Jones and the peoples temple (wanted for murder in Iran and Iraq) forward them as an even sicker version of the Shah reign of terror, could be used as a way to free TV broadcasters, but unfortunately it's too late for Alawaki.

This is about the mobs money that Roberto Calvi was washing through the banko Ambrosioano then it would move to the vatican bank and on to Switzerland. When he was murdered there was no proof it was theirs. The Church told the mafia and/or P2 group to go jump in the lake. After the assassination attempt on the pope and the kidnapping of the little girl De Pedis went to the church and negotiated that they would pay them some of the money with out admitting guilt. I imagine the internment was a deal for ending the war between the mafia and the church. the stuff about the bulgarians and the KGB being behind the pope's assassination was disinformation by the CIA because of the cold war. They were trying to get the catholic polish people to break away.

That is magical thinking. Peace talks are a ruse, a red herring while they steal everything. It should be decoupled from occupation. They should withdrawl completely from the West Bank, and open a corridor to Gaza, guarded by Palestinians. Settlers can become palestinians or leave.

Are these Cardinals still stomping their little Red Prada Loafers? They are not simply concerned about the issue of the laity having sex or women being sovereign over their own bodies; it's also randian self interest to ensure a fresh supply of little boys- for the choir (I'm sure)

Jim Garrison, the Attorney from NOLA started a new investigation it forced the House Committee on Assassinations to do another investigation. It supersedes the Warren Commission's findings and it did find that there was most likely a conspiracy to kill the president. He was assigned aids by the Feds that undermined his investigation, and when he died some intelligence agency went through his belongings and took all the material. He was getting read to publish a new book.

Unfortunately that thing which Eisenhower warned us about, he was responsible for the growth of the CIA, and their Executive Action Plan, under which they would remove heads of counties that were left leaning or not business friendly to our interests. They started with 'Operation Success”' where they removed Guatemala President Jacobo Arbenz. It was all down hill from there. Once we start operating in a lawless and amoral or immoral manner in other countries, those methods, weapons, even ideologies come home to roost because our people learn them. Even freshwater economics which was a program developed at Harvard by Thomas Friedman to be used on Chile to "make their economy scream."(neo liberals policy). It screamed alright, just like setting a vulture capitalist loose on a business to strip the assets and the available cash, hollowing it out, Wages hit the ditch, and the economy tanks. it usually fails a year later, bankrupt. Anyway, that is why eisenhower was so disingenuous for saying this. He turned the CIA into a death squad beyond congressional oversight.

Exactly right. He was sheepdipped. He was a patsy, but working on the inside while they set him up to take the fall. This group of people are the most credible researchers: Education Forum Apparently LHO thought this kid was in on the secret, that they were infiltrating the left, but the it looks like the kid thought LHO was trying to infiltrate the right! We may not ever know who pulled the trigger but there is evidence that it's a group of right wing "elites" that sit above the government, and JFK wasn't a left winger. He had Diem installed as president in Vietnam. This intersects in many places with NATO stay behind armies of operation gladio, the killing Kidnapping of Italian PM Aldo Moro, infiltration of the Red Brigades, The hanging of Roberto Calvi (Gods Banker) 1.6 billion missing, and the death of Pope John Paul I who ordered an audit, P2, Henry Kissinger. The anti-castro cubans and the mafia are used to keep plausible deniability, but there is always blowback. Every wonder why the State Dept comes up with 20 million every year for the cubans in Florida, and swat had to go in with guns to get Elian Gonzales? If you think Cuba was so great search for Batista and read for 10 minutes. As far as the Right/Left culture war see this JFK wanted Poster

If the Iraelis really beleived that Iran is a threat then why do they keep getting busted trading with them? recently it was internet monitoring software, last year it was gas and dates, and Marc Rich was trading metals and fuel/oil and money laundering. The sanctions make it a very lucrative market for the israelis and the US never does anything about it. Maybe the US/Neocons appreciate the supposed mad dog on a US leash role they play for us. The elites don't see iranian resources r as belonging to iranians or likewise in other nations. if they get kicked out, they think they have been robbed. The parasite confuses itself with the host. I think that is why they want back in Iran.

They are the same thing. neocons left the Democratic party because they were satisfactorily war monger enough, but the democratic party adopted their free market liberalism and the war project for a new american century - to secure the realm. The neocons countries they would overthrow: Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, then Iran. Obama has taken care of Libya, has drones in Somalia and we have installed and support the government (who the people don't support) Obama has split Sudan into two states and installed a government. That leaves Syria and Iran. Tell me Obama is not a neocon.

Agree with your points as regards to the doing away with due process, that was ex parte Quirin, but he is right about Newt Gingrich. Newt Gingrich has a huge ego, and wounded psyche and has been described as manic. It runs in families and his mother is a loon. This article is a good one, it also says something like his ego needs are so great that only the attention attendant a messiah could fulfill them. Frontline: The Inner Quest of Newt Gingrich He didn't care what damage he did to the budget, congress, or other people if he thought he was spurned or not treated with enough respect. HIs brinkmanship had a lot to do with why George Bush Sr. only had one term, why republicans took such a bath in the 98 elections and which led to his resignation. There are some doodles that were taken from his desk when he was under an ethics investigation. They are some real doozies. He writes about re-educating/re-orienting americans and our values, that it would have to be done on a massive scale, and no none but he could do it It reminded me of the bolshevik land and food appropriations.

This article, as does most overlooks Kurt von Schleicher who was the Chancellor until Hitler routed him. It was Schleicher who weakened democracy for his own purposes, This character is pretty much missing in the American Narrative of the rise of the Nazis. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurt_von_Schleicher
