'peak oil' advocates claim that US mideast policy is designed around keeping cheap oil flowing. well, why is the US secretly bombing iraq oil pipelines, according to the complaints of industry insiders? and who is in on the mosul-haifa pipeline plan? 'peak oil' (with 'impending severe climate change' playing shortstop) serves as a cover for the geopolitical aim of strangling the growth of eurasian rivals like china and india, and probably helps potentially to discredit russia as well, given that they are at least four years away from the infrastructure needed to increase their oil exports. it's really getting obvious, in my opinion. not to mention the cover story for the depreciating dollar, which ties in too. the usual sources started cranking out anti-saudi 'peak oil' rhetoric earlier this year at about the same time that get the saudis rhetoric was again winding up on capitol hill, and this was not long after the saudis started opening up some surprising new independent channels with russia china... those who think that 'peak oil' claims are an enemy of neocons ought to ponder how it is that the current president of the club of rome is the same guy who once smuggled chalabi out of jordan in the trunk of his limo. cheney energy advisor simmons and other 'peak oil' advocates say we need a new international agency to audit oil producers and set malthusian limits on oil production and consumption. sounds like a replacement for OPEC doesn't it. does that contradict the 'neocon' agenda?and who would provide the reference info for such oil audits? don't know yet, but it turns out that a near monopoly of world petroleum survey and database services is held by western / geco (formed in 1999), which is owned by a holding company run by baron friedrich thyssen-bornemisza, the grand-nephew of the guy who wrote, i paid hitler. ok. FTW coverage has been promoting the report prepared by global business network for the DoD that was leaked earlier this year, which predicts worldwide 'peak oil' energy catastrophe within 20 years in addition to predictions of severe climate shifts in the same timeframe. GBN was founded by veterans of SRI as well as royal dutch shell's scenario planning project which goes back to the 70s. turns out that royal dutch shell execs helped lead the bilderberger meeting at saltsjoebaden, sweden in 1973 which planned the fake oil shock of 73-74. their scenario planning division led by gurdjieff disciple pierre wack is, humorously, credited with being the only think tank which predicted this oil shock! http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/2.11/gbn_pr.html and now, their alumni are predicting imminent peak oil and coming climate catastrophes. by the way, the SRI connection is interesting too. SRI was one of five government contractors who developed the original HAARP weather-mod technology. http://www.questionsquestions.net/docs04/pentagon_gw.html the 73 fake oil shock saved shell's north sea investments. i'd imagine that the 2004 oil shock might wind up helping the new shell-led sakhalin consortium in some way. but i guess it won't end up helping that super-profitable refinery in california that shell has decided to shut down. george schultz installed the neocon vulcans into the white house but he's also a good friend of gorbachev, sponsor of the malthusian state of the world forum (founded by another schultz colleage, jim garrison) and the earth charter, which was officially blessed into existence by queen beatrix in june 2000, a few months before saddam decided to sell oil in euros. the earth charter supporters have now built a mother earth ark which is being paraded around at new age rallies and the like. i don't know what's in this ark, but i'm guessing it's full of royal dutch shell stock certificates. schultz is also of course a member of the schwarzenegger team. how can this be, if he has such nice 'green' connections? california 2001-2 seems to have been the test run for a kind of 'energy catastrophe' scam. create a fake energy shortage, crash the government's budget, drum up a frantic political crisis, and then install your strong man. who knows, perhaps there is a 'plan B' to rotate kerry in, use that 'regime rotation' as a rationale to put 9/11 and other bush admin scandals safely to bed in the public eye, and then pull a gray davis routine on him later when the time comes (i would think, timing this to cover a US economic collapse which has been predicted by some for 2005.

[CTRL] Spy Scandal's Roots are Deep
-Caveat Lector- http://www.juancole.com/2004_09_01_juancole_archive.html#109402382850329928 Wednesday, September 01, 2004 Spy Scandal's Roots are DeepJim Lobe argues that the FBI investigation that caught up Pentagon Iran expert Lawrence Franklin is much wider than initially thought, and focuses on the unauthorized transfer to Israel of highly sophisticated military software and designs. Since many Israeli arms merchants connected to the government in Tel Aviv sell to the black market, some of this military technology has ended up in the hands of countries that have poor relations with the US, and some may have ultimately been resold to al-Qaeda. Lobe writes, According to knowledgeable sources, who asked to not be identified, the FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) has been intensively reviewing a series of past counter-intelligence probes that were started against several high-profile neo-cons but never followed up with prosecutions, to the great frustration of counter-intelligence officers, in some cases.Some of these past investigations involve top current officials, including Deputy Secretary of Defence Paul Wolfowitz; Undersecretary of Defence for Policy Douglas Feith, whose office appears to be the focus of the most recently disclosed inquiry; and Richard Perle, who resigned as Defence Policy Board (DPB) chairman last year.All three were the subject of a lengthy investigative story by Stephen Green published by Counterpunch in February. Green is the author of two books on U.S.-Israeli relations, including Taking Sides: America's Secret Relations with a Militant Israel, which relies heavily on interviews with former Pentagon and counter-intelligence officials. Meanwhile, The Jerusalem Post reports that the FBI raided the offices of Steve Rosen, the director of foreign policy issues for the American Israel Public Affairs Committe, an enormously influential lobby. Earlier, rumors swirled of an FBI investigation of how the Pentagon Office of Special Plans, set up by Doug Feith, Undersecretary of Defense for Policy, skewed intelligence on Iraq and may have illegally engaged in intelligence-gathering. In fact, that investigation was being conducted by the Senate Intelligence and House Judiciary Committee staffs, not by the FBI. They are also looking at the possibility that Pentagon employees pursued unauthorized contacts aimed at preparing the way for overthrowing the governments of Iran and Syria. This according to the Boston Globe: ' Senate Intelligence and House Judiciary Committee staff members say inquiries into the Near East and South Asia Affairs division have found preliminary evidence that some officials gathered questionable information on weapons of mass destruction from Iraqi exiles such as Ahmed Chalabi without proper authorization, which helped build President Bush's case for an invasion last year. The investigators are also looking into a more serious concern: whether the office engaged in illegal activity by holding unauthorized meetings with foreign nationals to destablize Syria and Iran without the presidential approval required for covert operations, said one senior congressional investigator who has longtime experience in intelligence oversight. 'A pattern of illegal payments for such information is also at issue. Laura Rozen says she has evidence that Pentagon officials asked that Manuchehr Ghorbanifar be paid for documents he provided.By the way, I personally do not expect any dramatic developments from all these investigations. AIPAC has powerful protectors on Capitol Hill, and past charges that it was involved in espionage for Israel have always been buried. As for the Neocon cult in the Pentagon, even if they did something illegal, they will not suffer much because of it. Look at where the Iran-Contra criminals are, who subverted the US Constitution and stole arms from the Pentagon to sell illegally to Khomeini. One Iran-Contra figure, who lied to Congress, now serves in the National Security Council as the person in charge of the Israeli-Palestine issue. That is Elliot Abrams, who was pardoned by Bush the elder and now sets White House policy on among the more important issues affecting US relations with the Muslim world. Bush may as well have just appointed Ariel Sharon to advise him on how to deal with Ariel Sharon (though to be fair, Sharon is probably more pragmatic than and to the left of Abrams).Moreover, if Sharon and AIPAC decide that they need the US government to take military action against Iran, it is likely that the US government will do so. They can mobilize the US evangelicals in favor of this step, putting enormous pressure on Congress and the executive. Many Iranian expatriates are extremely wealthy and well connected, and they want such military action. And, firms like Halliburton, which find work-arounds allowing them to make money in Iran (and did so when Dick Cheney was CEO), would love to get rid of the mullas so they could make the big bucks, and
[CTRL] Top Secret Feds Classify The Silly, Stupid, and Nasty Mistakes
-Caveat Lector- washingtonpost.com 'Secrets' Perplex Panel Classified Data Growing to Include 'Comically Irrelevant' By Michael J. Sniffen Associated Press Friday, September 3, 2004; Page A17 A former dictator's cocktail preferences and a facetious plot against Santa Claus were classified by the government to prevent public disclosure. Also stamped secret for six years was a study concluding that 40 percent of Army chemical warfare masks leaked. These, as well as other examples of classification were cited last week by members of Congress and witnesses at a House subcommittee hearing into the Sept. 11 commission's conclusion that secrecy is undermining efforts to thwart terrorists. Some classifications were made in error or to save face. The CIA deleted the amount Iraqi agents paid for aluminum tubes from Page 96 of a Senate report on prewar intelligence. The report quoted the CIA as concluding that their willingness to pay such costs suggests the tubes are intended for a special project of national interest. That price turned out to be not so high. On Page 105 of the same Senate report, the same security reviewers let the CIA's figure -- as much as $17.50 each -- be printed along with other estimates that the Iraqis paid as little as $10 apiece. There are too many secrets and maybe too many secret-makers, said Rep. Christopher Shays (R-Conn.), chairman of the House Government Reform Committee's national security panel. There are 3,978 officials who can stamp a document top secret, secret or confidential under multiple sets of complex rules. No one knows how much is classified, he said, and the system often does not distinguish between the critically important and comically irrelevant. The problem is growing, said J. William Leonard, director of the National Archives' Information Security Oversight Office, which monitors federal practices. Officials decided to classify documents 8 percent more often in 2003 than in 2002. Total classification decisions -- including upgrading or downgrading -- reached 14 million. The tone is set at the top, Shays said. This administration believes the less known, the better, added the Connecticut Republican, noting sadly he was speaking of a GOP administration. I believe the more known, the better. The panel's ranking Democrat, Rep. Dennis J. Kucinich of Ohio, noted that former President Bill Clinton directed that in cases of doubt, the lowest or no classification be used. But in 2003, President Bush ordered officials to use the more restrictive level. Steven Aftergood, director of the Federation of American Scientists' project on secrecy, said some classification was designed to conceal illegality or avoid embarrassment, even though that is forbidden. Aftergood cited the secret stamp on Army Maj. Gen. Antonio M. Taguba's report of numerous incidents of sadistic, blatant and wanton criminal abuses inflicted on Iraqi inmates at the Abu Ghraib prison. Carol A. Haave, deputy undersecretary of defense for counterintelligence and security, said most misclassification was unintentional, resulting from misunderstanding or failure to declassify data that are no longer sensitive. She said a weakness, particularly for anti-terrorism efforts, was that those who collect intelligence determine its classification. Collectors of information can never know how it could best be used, Haave said. We have to move to a user-driven environment. Leonard, the Archives official, said another obstacle to sharing anti-terrorist data as the Sept. 11 commission envisioned was that federal law divides the authority for writing the rules that govern secrets. The CIA director has authority to protect intelligence sources and methods, the Energy Department has power to write regulations to shield nuclear secrets, the Pentagon has control over classifying NATO data and the National Security Agency can define eavesdropping communications secrets. All these variations have nuances that impede cooperation, Leonard said. Aftergood, who is fighting in court to declassify the overall budget for intelligence agencies, argued that declassifying that total could break the logjam of overclassification. That was also recommended by the Sept. 11 commission. Leonard said a 2000 law created a public interest declassification board to recommend release of secrets in important cases, but the president and Congress never appointed members. For the curious: The CIA classified for 20 years longtime Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet's preference for pisco sours, according to subcommittee staff members citing previously classified documents published by the National Security Archive, a private anti-secrecy institute at George Washington University. And a CIA employee made up a story of a terrorist plot to hijack Santa Claus and inserted it into classified traffic. So, apparently, the fact that CIA had a sense of humor was classified, said subcommittee counsel Lawrence J. Halloran. © 2004 The

By Marcela SanchezSpecial to washingtonpost.comWASHINGTON -- It would seem safe to assume that individuals who have fired abazooka at the United Nations headquarters in New York, served time inconnection with the first state-sponsored act of terrorism in the UnitedStates, or actively participated in secret groups that claimedresponsibility for dozens of bombings in New York, New Jersey and Florida,would raise many red flags when coming into this country.Or maybe not. Just last week, Guillermo Novo, Pedro Remon and GasparJimenez, the men behind those and other terrorist acts, received a hero'swelcome in the United States. After a quick flight from Panama aboard aprivate jet, the men flashed victory signs and smiled to a swarm of camerasin a Miami airport while U.S. authorities looked on.Hours earlier, Panamanian President Mireya Moscoso pardoned the three menand another, Luis Posada Carriles, days before her term was up, ending theirstint in a Panamanian prison for charges related to plotting to assassinateCuban President Fidel Castro in 2000. According to a court ruling in April,if they explosives found in the case had been used, they could havedestroyed an armored car and everything within 20 meters would have felt theimpact. Moscoso issued the pardson fearing rightly that if extradited toCuba, as Castro has been requesting, the men would be summarily executed.Posada, an international fugitive charged with the 1976 bombing of a Cubanairliner that killed 73 people, did not join the rest in Miami because hedoes not hold a U.S. passport. Instead, according to Honduran press reports,the CIA-trained explosives expert was dropped off in Honduras with a falseU.S. passport.Critics here and in Latin America jumped to conclude that Washington hadpressured Moscoso to release the men, citing the Bush administration'sobsession with Castro and the potential political gain for President Bush inFlorida. U.S. officials, on the other hand, responded quickly by statingthey "never lobbied the Panamanian government to pardon anyone."Such talk falls into the old trap of conspiracy and denial, and obscures thelarger point: There is something terribly wrong when the United States,after 9/11, fails to condemn the pardoning of terrorists and instead allowsthem to walk freely on U.S. streets."Moral clarity is a strategic asset" in the war on terrorism, said Pentagonpolicy chief, Douglas Feith, in a 2002 speech. If President Bush frequentlylabels terrorism as "evil," he continued, it is meant to steer the worldtoward an unquestionable rejection of terrorism, regardless of its goals.The four Cuban exiles have spent nearly four decades in a rabid pursuit todestroy Castro, his communist revolution and anyone who dared criticizetheir violent methods. Whether by the fortune of powerful supporters or theconvenience of previous tolerance toward certain acts of terrorism, theyhave more often than not managed to roam free to plan their next move. Theycan now add Panamanian presidential clemency to a bizarre list ofachievements that have included foreign prison escapes, dropped charges, andcommuted life-sentences.Times are supposed to be different. In his 2002 speech, Feith acknowledgedthe "unpleasant fact" that for the last three decades the world, includingthe United States, tolerated terrorism. In the post 9/11 world, he added,"no one who aspires to respectability can tolerate, let alone support''terrorists who in the past may have been seen as freedom fighters.Perhaps Feith should have exempted people who hate Castro. Judging byinterviews this week, leaders in the Cuban-American community, includingformer U.S. officials, have not re-evaluated their tolerance of terrorism.Simon Ferro, former U.S. ambassador to Panama, downplayed the significanceof Moscoso's pardon, incorrectly stating the men had only been found guiltyof entering Panama illegally. (They were serving seven- to eight-yearsentences for endangering public safety). Francisco "Pepe" Hernandez,president of the Cuban American National Foundation, said his organizationdoes not advocate violence but "we do not condemn those who fight and risktheir lives to try to

Election officials insistedthat the legally appointed Republican Party representative changehis test decks, presumably so that the system can pass the tests.The Republican representative refused, and the clerk told him toleave.Many voters do not follow instructions and instead of filling inthe box, will use an .X. or a check mark or circle the box, orinstead of using ink will use magic marker, etc. Some voters willobject to voting with a ballot that is not secret, and will .whiteout. or cross out the serial number that uniquely identifies theirballot. In the past, some voters have written notes explaining whatthey meant to do. The Republican test deck was prepared to verifythat these real-life situations will be correctly handled by theuntested counting system.Because of the insistence that the Republicans remove these tests,it appears that real-life ballots can cause the new voting systemto fail.The Republican representative, Al Kolwicz, had the legal authorityto participate in the testing, a statutory duty to perform, and allof his actions and tests were within the law. The public needs toknow why the Republicans are being harassed by county officials.According to Kolwicz, .answers to major questions about the security,accuracy and verifiability of the HART InterCivic voting systemhave not been forthcoming from the Clerk. Based on what I have seen,I would definitely not trust this system.This morning.s local newspaper describes a new approach to silencingany who question the new system. See: Election watchdog could facechargeshttp://www.bouldernews.com/bdc/election/article/0,1713,BDC_16316_3094890,00.htmlIt would be a very sad day for America if any citizen were to beprosecuted by government officials who appear to be biased againstan open and verifiable election process.It gets worse.The test began on Friday July 30th and was discontinued. A scheduledrestart of the test on Sunday August 1st was cancelled. No reasonshave been given. It appears that the Boulder County Clerk and theColorado Secretary of State are secretly working together. Inresponse to an August 2nd open records request for information aboutwhy the tests of the voting system were discontinued, the Secretaryof State responded that .the Secretary of State.s office does nothave any information regarding the July 31 decision to discontinuethe Logic and Accuracy Test..Salas has failed to respond to a similar open records request andhas now placed the County in default of the statutory three dayresponse requirement.And worse.At its August 3rd meeting, county commissioners denied a requestby systems analysis consultant Paul Walmsley to verify that votesare correctly counted. The county and the vendor acknowledge thatthere is no way to precisely check the accuracy of vote countingwith the new system.And worse.Elections director Tom Halicki, at the same meeting, failed toinform the commissioners that the test was discontinued, and thatthe new system had failed the Republican Party.s tests. Instead,Halicki misleadingly told commissioners that the Libertarian andthe Democrat Parties are satisfied with the test, but failed todisclose that these tests were not yet complete and that a clerk'soffice insider, Deputy Clerk Nancy Jo Wurl, was serving as theofficial representative of both the Democrat and Libertarian parties.And it gets even .more worse..Poll watcher volunteer, Ralph Shnelvar, who was authorized by Salasto observe the July 30 test, was blocked from observing the August5th continuation of the test.

NEWSLETTER #66 September 2, 2004 When 'Peak Oil' Met The 'West Nile Virus' http://www.davesweb.cnchost.com/nwsltr66.html I don't know how much press attention the story has gotten outside of the region, so to bring the potentially uninformed up to date, there has been a series of deaths in recent months in Southern California that have been attributed to the dreaded 'West Nile Virus.' According to the official party line, the virus is being spread by infected mosquitos, which are picking up the disease from infected birds. I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest that is very unlikely that 'West Nile Virus' actually exists as a specific, identifiable viral agent. And if it does exist, there is no evidence that it is pathogenic. As one illuminating post concludes, after reviewing the medical literature, It is quite clear that West Nile Virus has never been purified, and that without purification not only is it impossible to say whether it is the cause of the disease that it is associated with, but it is impossible to say whether it even exists. (http://www.mercola.com/2001/oct/3/west_nile_virus.htm) Even if the virus does exist, and even if it is pathogenic, it seems very unlikely that it has been the cause of death in the Southern California cases. The ten purported victims were, overall, an elderly bunch, and most had preexisting health conditions. The oldest was 91; the average age of the ten was 75. No offense to the surviving family members of the deceased, but these weren't people who needed some exotic virus to finish them off; they were people with one foot in the grave and the other on the proverbial banana peel. Not surprisingly, this alleged deadly outbreak has been seized upon as a pretext to further advance the police state, and to further blur the line between healthcare and law enforcement. Wholesale spraying of who-knows-what has become all the rage in some parts of town, and there has been talk of greatly expanding the police powers of county health officials, including granting them the power to enter upon any property, at any time, in search of any potential mosquito breeding grounds (as if it is possible to eliminate every drop of standing water in all of Los Angeles, Orange, and San Bernadino Counties). Next on the agenda will probably be another round of discussions about the need for mandatory vaccinations. This is all pretty disturbing stuff, to be sure, but in this post-911 dystopia we live in, it is pretty much par for the course. As anyone with eyes and ears and a few brain cells in between has probably noticed, there are any number of disturbing things happening in the world these days. But the West Nile Virus story took a particularly troubling turn a couple weeks ago. While idling watching some of NBC's stellar prime time Olympic coverage last Monday night, I happened to catch a brief teaser for the upcoming evening newscast in which it was announced that the 'West Nile Virus' had claimed another Southern California victim. The man was identified only as a local political activist. Details, of course, would have to wait. So ... I patiently waited through about two hours of NBC's thought we were arrogant before? how do you like us now? Olympic coverage, only to find, much to my chagrin, that when the nightly news finally rolled around, the story of the political activist cut down by 'West

In his address, he described arriving in the United States from Austria and hearing Richard Nixon challenge Hubert Humphrey in a televised presidential debate: "I finally arrived here in 1968.I had empty pockets, but I was full of dreams. The presidential campaign was in full swing. I remember watching the Nixon and Humphrey presidential race on TV. A friend who spoke German and English, translated for me. I heard Humphrey saying things that sounded like socialism which is what I had just left. But then I heard Nixon speak. He was talking about free enterprise, getting government off your back, lowering taxes, and strengthening the military. Listening to Nixon speak sounded more like a breath of fresh air. I said to my friend, "What party is he?" My friend said, "He's a Republican." I said, "Then I am a Republican!" And I've been a Republican ever since!" (complete speech at http://www.2004nycgop.org/cgi-data/speeches/files/2jl158h8hr9cm5t7e4d379jp6o186680.shtml The records on televised presidential debates are unequivocal. They started in 1960 with the famous Kennedy-Nixon debate. Nixon's performance in this debate was in part instrumental in his defeat and the election of John F. Kennedy to the White house in the November 1960. (for a review of presidential debates since 1858 see The Commission on Presidential Debates at: http://www.debates.org/pages/history.html ) In the 1968 presidential campaign, Hubert Humphrey and Ed Muskie ran against Richard Nixon and Maryland Governor Spiro Agnew. Richard Nixon did not want to repeat his 1960 experience with JFK. He refused to debate his Democratic opponent Hubert Humphrey. (See Providence Journal-Bulletin (Rhode Island), October 3, 2000) Although Humphrey challenged Nixon to a debate, there was no debate between Hubert Humphrey and Richard Nixon in 1968. Arnold Scharzenegger could not have seen it on TV, because it never took place. In fact, there were no presidential debates between 1960 and 1976. Déjà vu Arnold Scharzenegger's affirmation at the Republican Convention concerning the Nixon-Humphrey debate has a ring of déjà vu. It was essentially a "say again" of a announcement he first made public in 1993, at a Press Conference in Beverly Hills, California , following the release of his adventure comedy, Last Action Hero: "I realized then that this one guy (Humphrey) is closer to Austria and socialism, while this other guy (Nixon) represents the free market, free enterprise and the freedom of getting the government off your back," (The Toronto Star, June 18, 1993) And since then, he has used these same catch sentences on Humphrey versus Nixon on numerous occasions, in press interviews as well as at political venues (including the 2000 Republican Convention and his 2003 campaign for the Governorship of California): "For substance, try a dubious note with which Schwarzenegger brightened an address to his party's recent L.A. convention. The story goes over so well, he's taken to repeating it. He says his decision to become a Republican was prompted soon after he'd arrived from Austria in 1968, and watched a presidential debate between Richard Nixon and Hubert Humphrey.

A generation ago, Indian farmers in the state of Gujarat used bullocks to lift water from shallow wells in leather buckets. Now they haul it from 300 metres below ground using electric pumps. But that technological revolution is about to have devastating consequences. So much water is being drawn from underground reserves that they, and the pumps they feed, are running dry, turning fields that have been fecund for generations into desert. The world's leading water scientists warned this week that this little-heralded crisis is repeating itself across Asia, and could cause widespread famines in the decades to come. Day and night India is at the epicentre of the pump revolution. Using technology adapted from the oil industry, smallholder farmers have drilled 21 million tube wells into the saturated strata beneath their fields. Every year, farmers bring another million wells into service, most of them outside the control of the state irrigation authorities. The pumps, powered by heavily subsidised electricity, work day and night to irrigate fields of thirsty crops like rice, sugar cane and alfalfa. But this massive, unregulated expansion of pumps and wells is threatening to suck India dry. Nobody knows where the tube wells are or who owns them. There is no way anyone can control what happens to them, says Tushaar Shah, head of the International Water Management Institute's groundwater station, based in Gujarat. When the balloon bursts, untold anarchy will be the lot of rural India, he says. Shah gave his apocalyptic warning at the annual Stockholm Water Symposium in Sweden last week. His research suggests that the pumps, which transformed Indian farming, bring 200 cubic kilometres of water to the surface each year. But only a fraction of that is replaced by the monsoon rains. China's breadbasket The same revolution is being replicated across Asia, with millions of tube wells pumping up precious underground water reserves in water-stressed countries like Pakistan, Vietnam, and in northern China. In China's breadbasket, the north China plain, 30 cubic kilometres more water is being pumped to the surface each year by farmers than is replaced by the rain. Groundwater is used to produce 40 per cent of the country's grain, and Chinese officials warned this week that water shortages will soon make the country dependent on grain imports. Vietnam has quadrupled its number of tube wells in the past decade to one million, and water tables are plunging in the Pakistani state of Punjab, which produces 90 per cent of the country's food. In India, more farmers now provide their own water via wells and pumps than rely on the government's irrigation system, which is based on a network of canals. Corrupt management, low investment and drying rivers have made the national system increasingly decrepit, and it rarely delivers water to farmers when they need it. In contrast, the $600 pumps are bringing short-term prosperity to much of the country, turning India from a

In early September of last year, the US had lost nearly 300 troops in Iraq and many political experts were questioning how long the American people would accept the slow drip-drip of casualties. Conventional wisdom at the time suggested the public might tolerate ongoing fatalities as long as they believed the Bush administration had a definitive exit strategy and a plan for establishing a secure, democratic Iraq. One year and nearly 700 more deaths later, Americans' verdict on the war continues to be mixed. Some analysts say the crossing of the 1000 figure could spark a period of intense public reflection over the current state of US operations in Iraq, after several months during which the issue of casualties fell below the radar screen for many Americans. It [1000 US casualties] becomes a salient threshold for people rising out of their slumber and taking another look at the situation, Feaver said. There will be another gut check. Evenly divided As of September, 979 US troops have been killed in Iraq and nearly 7000 wounded. Jay Farrar, vice president of external affairs at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, said the figure of 1000 casualties could be significant because Americans tend to want to quantify issues by numbers, and that it's an easy way to reference in peoples' own minds what something means. I think when you reach a level of 1000 casualties in a war against a country that presented very little direct threat to the United States, that presents an opportunity for discussion among some people who may have been inclined to question our motives, Farrar said. While a recent survey by the Pew Research Center showed that six in 10 Americans believe President Bush does not have a successful plan for stabilising Iraq, the public appears to be evenly divided over the question of whether the war was worth the costs involved. In a recent NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll, 49% of registered voters said removing Saddam Hussein from power had not been worth the cost in terms of money and casualties, while 43% felt it was worth it. In a recent Gallup Poll, however, 49% said the war had been worth fighting and 48% said otherwise. Breaking ranks Farrar said his own research indicated that opposition to the war is growing. My numbers show that a rising percentage of the American public is starting to question the cost of [the war] in terms of lives and dollars, he said. Lawrence Korb, a former defenxe department official in the Reagan administration and currently a senior fellow at the Center for American Progress, said more people are beginning to say, 'No, this war was not worth the cost'. Korb said the recent statement by retiring Republican Congressman Doug Bereuter that the war in Iraq was a mistake, is a sign that even some Bush supporters may be breaking ranks. Bereuter, who until recently served as the vice chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, issued a four-page statement criticising the administration's use of faulty prewar intelligence and lamenting the conflict's death toll. The cost in casualties is already large and growing, and the immediate and long-term financial costs are incredible, said Bereuter, who voted for the congressional resolution authorising the president to invade Iraq. It remains unclear, however, whether Bereuter's statement is in line with mainstream America. Sting of loss Frank Newport, editor and chief of The Gallup Poll company, pointed to his

The United States invaded and conquered Iraq on the basis of lies. Even the official report of the United States Senate admits as much ( http://www.infowars.com/print/iraq/war_on_alie.htm ). So, where did all this bad information come from? While the culprits would like to pin the blame on the Central Intelligence Agency, the facts point in a different direction. To cite just one example, the now-discredited claim that Saddam was trying to buy Yellow Cake Uranium from Niger came from the Pentagon, specifically from Paul Wolfowitz ( http://www.antiwar.com/orig/leopold.php?articleid= 1913 ), using information the CIA stated was unreliable. Wolfowitz, and his assistant Douglas Feith, set up a special office called the Office of Special Plans in 2001, that fed information to the White House to urge the attack on Iraq. Shortly after the invasion, the OSP was disbanded. So, the trail of the lies that started a war goes from the White House, to the Pentagon, to the Office of Special Plans. But where was the OSP getting their information? Clearly, they were not using information provided by the CIA, or the CIA would not have denounced their cources as unreliable. According to some reports, the OSP was using consultants who came from outside the Pentagon and operated with no oversight or accountability ( http://rightweb.irc-online.org/analysis/2004/0402o sp.php )! The Office of Special Plans operated on its own, off the official payroll and away from Congressional oversight ( http://www.guardian.co.uk/Iraq/Story/0,2763,999737,00.html ). According to several sources, it was the information given out by the Office of Special Plans that Dick Cheney encouraged the CIA to adopt! So where does the trail lead from the OSP? As it turns out, the OSP was getting their information from primarily two sources. The first was Ahmed Chalabi, the bank embezzler who would be king and didn't care how it came about ( http://www.thenation.com/doc.mhtml?i=20030707s=dr eyfuss ). The second, and more damning source, is the office of the Prime Minister of Israel, Ariel Sharon! As the Office of Special Plans poured out the lies that led to war, Israeli officers, up to the rank of General, were repeatedly escorted inside the Pentagon to the Office of Special Plans ( http://www.commondreams.org/headlines03/0807-02.htm ). At no time were they required to sign in! Douglas Feith would then take this information, despite CIA doubts about the credibility of the claims, into private briefings at the White House that bypassed CIA ( http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/ne ws/2004/07/11/wsept11.xmlsSheet=/news/2004/07/11/ ). In some cases, the CIA was unaware of Feith's private briefings until the OSP information became part of White House public policy. So, this is the trail of the lies that started a war, beginning at the White House, and via Dick Cheney moving upstream to the Pentagon's Office of Special Plans, under Wolfowitz and Feith, then from OSP to an parallel group operating out of Ariel Sharon's office in Israel. That's the trail. UPDATE: As of this writing, a staffer within the Office of Special Plans has been outed as a spy for Israel. While Israel officially denies spying (as it did for 13 years following the arrest of Jonathan Pollard), and the US Government downplays the importance of this individual, the fact remains that this Israeli spy sat right on the information piepline feeding false claims about Iraq into the White House. The focus on the Iranian documents going TO Israel is the limited hangout concealing the darker secret of bogus Iraqi Intelligence flowing FROM Israel into the White House war

Bush , focusing on restrictions on liberty and expansion of government. After 9/11, he writes, "[t]he simple solution was to increase the power of goodi.e., governmentto vanquish evil." By the fourth chapter, Bovard has moved on to Bush's gyrations on free trade, notably steel tariffs. By the fifth, he's on to No Child Left Behind, arguing that home schooling surpasses government schooling. Bovard takes swipes at AmeriCorps (a wasteful way for Bush to invoke virtue, he says), subsidies for sugar (an industry that gives huge political contributions), the Medicare bill (far more expensive than advertised), the prison industry and the drug war. He asserts that Attorney General John Ashcroft has "effectively encouraged agencies to deny FOIA [Freedom of Information Act] requests" and points out abuses of 9/11 detainees in New York. Americans, Bovard concludes, should cease looking to a president as a savior and instead view him as a hired handthough he doesn't exactly sketch out the boundaries of such limited government. The book, based on secondary sources, does not break much new ground. It is notable as a comprehensive attack on the administration from a less-often-heard place on the political spectrum.

Who ever looks, really looks, with the right attitude, at the budget and programs of a federal agency? Or records, with great wit, all the felonies against freedom of the Clinton and Bush administrations? Not that they could copy Bovard, but they ought to try. [The Bush Betrayal] is the handbook of our revolution."--Lew Rockwell, www.lewrockwell.com"Ahhh, life is so good lately. Happy times. Today, the Postmaster General delived to my door an early copy of The Bush Betrayal, sent to me by Jim Bovard. It's not quite available yet for the masses, but will be soon. So quit wasting time and go order it. A quick glance at this book immediately indicates two things: this book is going to kick some Bush-loving a**, and, cracking open this irresistable cover is going to keep me up til 2am again tonight."--Karen De Coster, http://www.karendecoster.com "One American ?a true patriot in my opinion ?who has not been hoodwinked or bamboozled by Bush Administration propaganda is James Bovard The Bush Betrayal is the best book for an introductory course on what patriotism really means, and it will certainly help awake a comatose public before all its rights are trampled by future 'Bushs'."--Jim Grichar, http://www.lewrockwell.com "This book is bound to be banned. It obviously violates several federal statutes. It's rapid-fire, high-capacity, equipped with bayonet-sharp wit, and loaded with politician-piercing ammo. Never mind that the ammo is merely words. We already know how terrified the Bush administration is of opponents who fire verbs and nouns If

Iran will become a nation with nuclear weapons unless U-S-A attacks. Then the problem of guerilla warfare with 100,000,000 people over a huge territory from Iraq to Iran to Afghanistan, all united by one thing only ... HATRED of the foreign occupiers. Of course North Korea will supply them with A-bombs at some point so North Korea will be attacked after Iran. China will not be pleased.

Vialls has a tendency to make sensational claims without a spec of proof. He's also crossed the line into hardcore anti-Semitism, as have Dick Eastman, John Kaminski, Henry Makow and quite a few other folks. Their writings are often literally indistinguishable from those of Adolf Hitler. I am aghast at the way the term "anti-Semitism" is once again used and abused. I write this in defense of John Kaminski and Henry Makow (himself a Jew) Although it's been said "many times many ways" CRITICISM OF ISRAEL AND ZIONISM IS NOT ANTI SEMITISM. www.ctrl.org DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.
