Blair 'made secret US Iraq pact'

http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/white...wilk_11-4.html

Retired Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson, Colin Powell's former chief of staff, has sharply criticized the Bush administration's handling of the run up to the Iraq war. Following an interview with Wilkerson, two experts debate his charges.

NSA Security, long an out-of-control entity, is now conducting a witch hunt at the agency

http://www.waynemadsenreport.com/

February 6, 2006 -- NSA Security, long an out-of-control entity, is now conducting a witch hunt at the agency. Working with the FBI, NSA Security agents are ruthlessly questioning potential sources of the leak about Bush's illegal NSA wiretapping program. Director of National Intelligence John Negroponte and CIA Director Porter Goss have stated that they want journalists subpoenaed by a grand jury to testify about their sources. As far as this journalist is concerned, Messrs. Negroponte and Goss can take a long walk....


February 4/5/6, 2006 -- Former NSA analyst Kenneth Ford was accepted into a fast track internship program at NSA in November 2002. A former White House Secret Service officer, Ford, a young African American with three college degrees, was what NSA wanted as a future senior executive at America's signals intelligence agency. That was until Ford's first internship assignment brought him face-to-face with what the Bush administration was cooking up for Iraq. After having transferred from NSA's Information Assurance X72 branch to start his internship in the Signals Intelligence Division (SID), Ford found himself assigned to the all-important "Iraqi shop," the branch responsible for analyzing communication intercepts of Iraqi military, civilian government, diplomatic, and commercial traffic for signs of weapons of mass destruction activity or proliferation.
In April 2003, Ford, a GS-9 who had been learning about the secretive world of signals intelligence through classroom and on-the-job training, was assigned the task of scouring the databases of intercepts, looking for anything that might indicate the presence of WMDs. The White House was clearly nervous about its earlier claims that Saddam Hussein possessed WMDs. By May 2003, with U.S. forces in Iraq, it was clear that there were no stockpiles of WMDs as had been claimed by President Bush, Vice President Cheney, and Defense Secretary Rumsfeld, among others in the administration. Ambassador Joseph Wilson visited Niger in February 2002 to investigate claims that Iraq had attempted to obtain yellowcake uranium in that country. Wilson discovered the claims were false. In March, Cheney, not content with Wilson's findings in his reports to the CIA and State Department, stated on Meet the Press that Saddam was "trying once again to produce nuclear weapons."
But those weapons were never found. The Bush administration's WMD claims, the original basis for invading Iraq, were discovered to have been without merit..................

As a result of Salem's serious prosecutorial misconduct, during Ford's November 2005, witness after witness for the government perjured themselves without fear of recrimination. The jury was salted with at least one tainted member.

The "work up" on Ken Ford: The Key Players

http://www.waynemadsenreport.com/index.1.jpg

One member of the federal jury that convicted Ford on one count each of retaining classified material and lying on a security questionnaire for a Federal contractor turned out to have been a one-time program manager for Northrop Grumman, an NSA contractor. That fact should have disqualified him from the jury, however, it is clear that jury intimidation and tampering was also ordered up by the Bush administration.
Salem succeeded in getting his conviction of Ford last November. Ford faces sentencing on March 1 at the US Courthouse in Greenbelt, Maryland and up to 15 years in prison. However, Salem and his associates must now face their own investigation, one that is focused on prosecutorial misconduct, perjury, and criminal conspiracy to violate the civil rights of a U.S. citizen. After the neo-cons seized control of the United States in 2001, what happened to Ford could happen to any U.S. citizen.

Gonzales Answers Tough Questions on Spying
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060206/...NlYwMlJVRPUCUl
AP - 59 minutes ago
WASHINGTON - Attorney General Alberto Gonzales insisted Monday that President Bush was "acting with authority" both under the Constitution and federal law in eavesdropping on Americans without warrants as part of the war on terror. But his strong defense of Bush's program was challenged by Republican Sen. Arlen Specter, chairman of the Judiciary Committee, who told Gonzales that even the Supreme Court had ruled that "the president does not have a blank check."

they don't need to think... they are told... so they can think only for money

just one thing from the many that one can do for his country...


This morning, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales is appearing before your senator, Senator Dianne Feinstein, to testify about the president's illegal domestic spying program. His testimony comes one day after Sen. Specter, the Republican chairman of the Judiciary committee, said that the president violated the law,1 and the Washington Post debunked a key Bush administration claim by reporting that the program tapped thousands of innocent Americans and almost no terrorism suspects.2

The White House has already set the stage to stonewall.3 So it's critical that Sen. Feinstein demand real answers from the Attorney General today. Can you call Sen. Feinstein now and tell her that you're counting on her to hold the administration accountable for this power grab? Your call will prove to her that this is a serious issue and America is watching.

Senator Dianne Feinstein
Phone: 202-224-3841


Then, please report your call by clicking here:

http://www.moveonpac.org/call/index....FSCA_1&id=&t=1

Here is the bottom line: the president is breaking the law. He already has the authority to wiretap suspected terrorists, and we support thathahaha8212;but he's reaching beyond that. We need to know why he refuses to get warrants and he needs to be held accountable.

Respecting the rule of law isn't a partisan issue, it's a core American principle. That's why even prominent conservatives like David Keene, Paul Weyrich and Grover Norquist are outraged by the president's illegal program.4

If the president can get away with breaking the law now, there's no limit to what he or any other president can do. Together we can stop this dangerous overreach. Can you give you give Sen. Feinstein a call now?

Senator Dianne Feinstein
Phone: 202-224-3841


This is an important issue and it will help remind Americans, in an election year, what Republicans are all abouthahaha8212; accumulating power for themselves, and trampling the system of checks and balances designed to stop that. It's the Senate's job to act as a check on the president's power. If they can't do it, they shouldn't be in Washington.

Thanks for all you do,

General Ivashov: "International terrorism does not exist"
By General Leonid Ivashov

http://www.periodico26.cu/english/op...shov011806.htm

General Leonid Ivashov was the Chief of Staff of the Russian armed forces when the September 11, 2001, attacks took place. This military man, who lived the events from the inside, offers an analysis which is very different to that of his American colleagues. As he did during the Axis for Peace 2005 conference, he now explains that international terrorism does not exist and that the September 11 attacks were the result of a set-up. What we are seeing is a manipulation by the big powers; this terrorism would not exist without them. He affirms that, instead of faking a "world war on terror", the best way to reduce that kind of attacks is through respect for international law and peaceful cooperation among countries and their citizens.
As the current international situation shows, terrorism emerges where contradiction aggravate, where there is a change of social relations or a change of regime, where there is political, economic or social instability, where there is moral decadence, where cynicism and nihilism triumph, where vice is legalized and where crime spreads.
It is globalization what creates the conditions for the emergence of these extremely dangerous phenomena. It is in this context that the new world geo-strategic map is being designed, that the resources of the planet are being re-distributed, that borders are disappearing, that international law is being torn into pieces, that cultural identities are being erased, that spiritual life becomes impoverished...
The analysis of the essence of the globalization process, the military and political doctrines of the United States and other countries, shows that terrorism contributes to world dominance and the submissiveness of states to a global oligarchy. This means that terrorism is not something independent of world politics but simply an instrument, a means to install a unipolar world with a sole world headquarters, a pretext to erase national borders and to establish the rule of a new world elite. It is precisely this elite that constitutes the key element of world terrorism, its ideologist and its "godfather". The main target of the world elite is the historical, cultural, traditional and natural reality; the existing system of relations among states; the world national and state order of human civilization and national identity.
Today's international terrorism is a phenomenon that combines the use of terror by state and non-state political structures as a means to attain their political objectives through people's intimidation, psychological and social destabilization, the elimination of resistance from power organizations and the creation of appropriate conditions for the manipulation of the countries' policies and the behavior of people.
Terrorism is the weapon used in a new type of war. At the same time, international terrorism, in complicity with the media, becomes the manager of global processes. It is precisely the symbiosis between media and terror, which allows modifying international politics and the exiting reality.
In this context, if we analyze what happened on September 11, 2001, in the United States, we can arrive at the following conclusions:
1. The organizers of those attacks were the political and business circles interested in destabilizing the world order and who had the means necessary to finance the operation. The political conception of this action matured there where tensions emerged in the administration of financial and other types of resources. We have to look for the reasons of the attacks in the coincidence of interests of the big capital at global and transnational levels, in the circles that were not satisfied with the rhythm of the globalization process or its direction.
Unlike traditional wars, whose conception is determined by generals and politicians, the oligarchs and politicians submitted to the former were the ones who did it this time.
2. Only secret services and their current chiefs hahaha8211; or those retired but still having influence inside the state organizations hahaha8211; have the ability to plan, organize and conduct an operation of such magnitude. Generally, secret services create, finance and control extremist organizations. Without the support of secret services, these organizations cannot exist hahaha8211; let alone carry out operations of such magnitude inside countries so well protected. Planning and carrying out an operation on this scale is extremely complex.
3. Osama bin Laden and "Al Qaeda" cannot be the organizers or the performers of the September 11 attacks. They do not have the necessary organization, resources or leaders. Thus, a team of professionals had to be created and the Arab kamikazes are just extras to mask the operation. The September 11 operation modified the course of events in the world in the direction chosen by transnational mafias and international oligarchs; that is, those who hope to control the planet's natural resources, the world information network and the financial flows. This operation also favored the US economic and political elite that also seek world dominance.
The use of the term "international terrorism" has the following goals:
Hiding the real objectives of the forces deployed all over the world in the struggle for dominance and control;
Turning the people's demands to a struggle of undefined goals against an invisible enemy; Destroying basic international norms and changing concepts such as: aggression, state terror, dictatorship or movement of national liberation;
Depriving peoples of their legitimate right to fight against aggressions and to reject the work of foreign intelligence services;
Establishing the principle of renunciation to national interests, transforming objectives in the military field by giving priority to the war on terror, violating the logic of military alliances to the detriment of a joint defense and to favor the anti-terrorist coalition;
Solving economic problems through a tough military rule using the war on terror as a pretext.
In order to fight in an efficient way against international terrorism it is necessary to take the following steps:
To confirm before the UN General Assembly the principles of the UN Charter and international law as principles that all states are obliged to respect;
To create a geo-strategic organization (perhaps inspired in the Cooperation Organization of Shanghai comprised of Russia, China, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan) with a set of values different to that of the Atlantists; to design a strategy of development of states, a system of international security, another financial and economic model (which would mean that the world would again rest on two pillars);
To associate (under the United Nations) the scientific elites in the design and promotion of the philosophical concepts of the Human Being of the 21st Century.
To organize the interaction of all religious denominations in the world, on behalf of the stability of humanity's development, security and mutual support.

Fake articles??? doesnt look fake at all...

he's right that the mainstream media have LOTS of fake news but this one is real :D

The one about Powell presenting bogus information before the UN is real and not fake. But Chshkt, dude, this is an adult webmaster board why do you keep posting political and UFO threads all the live long day?

More and more official hoaxes. How many are they?[/QUOTE]


for trying to wake up the sheep. Unfortunatly, it´s pointless.

Well said, people refuse to read... I find these articles very informative and yes there is probably a tremendous amount of truth in them. But people refuse to read, ingnorance is truly bliss

Everyone knows the administration lied to get us into that war.

they just don't want to discern themselves what's true and what's not and just wait for public confirmation on what to believe... but that's important issues right now and the ppl have to learn them

Why do you incessantly post your political drivel here? There's dozens of busy political boards with people who very interested in discussing things like this with you, why post them here of all places.

because i have free will and i choose to do that!
why you wouldn't want me to do it?

Agree. I'm sick of these stupid threads.

Where are all these altermondialists, anti-americans, conspiracy theorists coming from ? Did you read the title of this board chshkt ? G.F.Y.

That fucker called me an Atlantist!

this hasnt been a adult webmaster board in awhile lol.

It has nothing to do with not wanting you to do it, but you put all this effort into these long posts, why not do it where you have a huge audience who is eager to discuss these topics.

Lol, well you may have a point there.

Did any of you ever honestly trust an appointed leader?

there's a lot more threads for you to look at, why you've clicked this one when you're not interested? move on

The more you stop chshkt from posting political stuff...the more he would do it.IGNORE is the word.

damn fake posts

of course i would... especially after they turned off my sig, then img & quote... :D

http://patrickjfitzgerald.blogspot.c...nder-oath.html

I'm guessing you don't participate in any political forums because they don't put up with your bullshit. Maybe I should start going to some political forums and discuss adult webmaster topics, that would be equivalent to what you are doing. Better yet, maybe we can start discussing all the corruption of Georgi Purvanov and Segei Stanishev, something I'm sure you are familiar with.

haha no thanks, i'm not interested in politics...

That first article is so poorly written, that it is amazing.

Halliburton bills U.S. taxpayers $50 for $5 labor in Iraq 06 Feb 2006 (HalliburtonWatch.org) "Halliburton's KBR subsidiary pays $5 to $16 a day in wages to third world laborers in Iraq, but bills U.S. taxpayers between $50 and $80 a day for each laborer, military requisitions obtained by HalliburtonWatch reveal... For example, an invoice from KBR subcontractor, Ranj Company, shows 'washer folders' (laundry workers) are paid $7 a day, but the requisition shows the military is billed between $60 and $70 a day for this work, a roughly ten-fold markup for KBR..."

Conspiracy theorists always use the same way of presenting the information - they take one fact off the shelve, tweak it a bit (so it's half a lie, half a truth) and build everything upon it.

It's really amazing what some people will believe in.

They will never trust anything from the "official" media because it's being "tampered with" and "manipulated". But they will take for granted everything they read on a blog or an "independent" site 'cause, you know, if it's different, then it must be true.

And if it sounds totally absurd or surreal, then it has to be the real truth that the new-world-order/ reptiles/ jewes/ masons/ put-your-favourite-here is hiding from us.

I am too smart to believe that the governments tell only the truth and nothing but the truth. But what should make all other sources credible? The sheer fact that it's a different POV? Nah, try something else, I'm not buying anymore tin.

Re: the article
That was very commendable of Powell's former Chief of Staff to say that.
The world needs men who will not be compromised, men who will always stand on the side of truth, justice and integrity.

I sale tin foil hats

just like the gov. they do the same shit and no on can be trusted. the gov. lies to us on a daily basis, the media lies.. fuck them all.

Yeah Hey! Fuck that fake news article on news.yahoo.com, That is obviously a phoney website without credentials! Close this thread.

::Marches around his computer room with his arms stuck out stiff in front of him::

I love America, I love George Bush, I love Karl Rove, Karl Rove is a nice man, I love being a Republican, I love texas, The truth is our enemy.
