-Caveat Lector- One sentence, 23 words long: "Israel proposes to immedialtely renew peace negotiations based on recognition of the Palestinian right to establish a state in all territory occupied in the Six-Day-War." The government knows that this announcement would be enough to cause an immediate revolutionary change in Israeli-Palestinian relations; a change which would start with a cease fire and end with a peace treaty. The government knows it, but keeps silent. Knows it, but refuses. Since for this government defending settlements has priority over peace and security of its own people. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/agentsmiley/message/1658
Top Russian lawmakers said Moscow was free to stock up on nuclear warheads to Cold War-era levels following a US decision to scrap the 1972 ABM treaty in the face of Kremlin efforts to save the disarmament pact. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/agentsmiley/message/1640 Boston Action: 12/15 Defend Palestine Emergency Demo http://groups.yahoo.com/group/agentsmiley/message/1648 In early 1970's Council on Foreign Relations leaders Zbigniew Brzezinski, and David Rockefeller created the Trilateral Commission. It included 60 members from Japan, 60 from Western Europe and 205 Americans. Almost all the Americans belong to the Council on Foreign Relations. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/agentsmiley/message/1619 A leading researcher on DNA sequencing analysis was found dead in the secluded northern Virginia farmhouse where he lived alone, police said. http://www.cnn.com/2001/US/12/12/biophysicist.slain.ap/index.html Global climate change, often seen as a process stretching over thousands of years, could in fact occur abruptly and unexpectedly -- quickly pushing up temperatures by as much as 18 degrees Fahrenheit and wreaking havoc on human society, scientists warned on Wednesday. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/agentsmiley/message/1622 The basic proposition of the hard-liners is that the business of business is making money, not employing people or giving them charity. The task of companies is to maximise profit for their owners, the shareholders. Appeals for companies to feel responsibility for the welfare of other "stakeholders" – their employees, the local community, and the environment—can only detract from the bottom line. It is argued that widespread adoption of CSR would undermine the foundations of the market economy. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/agentsmiley/message/1623 Thousands of civilians face starvation due to violations of the right to food by all parties to the Afghanistan conflict, warned a letter released on International Human Rights Day by a coalition of US-based organizations. The letter requests the UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food, Swiss professor Jean Ziegler, to call for "immediate measures to prioritize humanitarian relief and prevent further violations of international human rights and humanitarian law." http://globalresearch.ca/articles//ZIE112A.html A long and bitter legal battle at the nation's only progressive radio network, marked by protests and arrests at Houston's KPFT 90.1 FM, ended Wednesday in an Oakland, Calif., courtroom. http://www.commondreams.org/headlines01/1213-03.htm A recent UN Report confirms that opium production plummeted in Afghanistan last year except in Northern Alliance areas, thanks to a Taliban decree outlawing its cultivation. However what might have been a major curtailment of world heroin trafficking will apparently not now happen. Instead there are reports we can anticipate future increases of opium cultivation now that the Taliban has been defeated. http://socrates.berkeley.edu/~pdscott/qf7.html In a recent Nation article Richard Falk, a well known professor of international law and a major voice against the Vietnam war, who says he has not supported a shooting war since his childhood, writes that the war in Afghanistan is “the first truly just war since World War II.” http://groups.yahoo.com/group/agentsmiley/message/1628 With the grounding of virtually all civilian air flights in the immediate aftermath of the September 11 terrorist attacks, the bizarre speculation about what’s happening in North American air space heightened. Columbus Alive received numerous citizen reports concerning airplanes “spraying” or leaving behind mysterious “chemtrails” or “contrail grids” in the sky. Some feared we were under biochemical attack while others postulated we were being inoculated against anthrax or some other biochemical hazard. http://www.columbusalive.com/2001/20011206/120601/12060101.html Now Fox News has learned some U.S. investigators believe that there are Israelis again very much engaged in spying in and on the U.S., who may have known things they didn't tell us before September 11. Fox News correspondent Carl Cameron has details in the first of a four-part series. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/agentsmiley/message/1635 President Bush (news - web sites) invoked executive privilege for the first time Thursday to keep Congress from seeing documents of prosecutors' decision-making in cases ranging from a decades-old Boston murder to the Clinton-era fund-raising probe. http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/ap/20011213/ts/bush_privilege_10.html Jammu and Kashmir is one of the most militarised regions in the world having approximately 700,000 security forces stationed there. In the eleven years since some elements of the pro-independence movement chose to use violence, 34,000 people, thousands of who were civilians, including the elderly, children, women and other non-combatants, have reportedly been killed. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/agentsmiley/message/1637 A German amateur investigator finds information on the U.S. government's friendly dealings with war criminals. Meanwhile, the FBI and CIA guard their records. http://www.salon.com/news/feature/2000/05/03/nazi/ In the month since the Bush administration launched a high-profile clampdown on the networks that finance Osama bin Laden, no suspects named on a U.S. list are known to remain in custody and even some of America's closest allies complain the move was not accompanied by enough evidence. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/agentsmiley/message/1639 First off, we learn that the Mossad often receives information from the CIA, while it has a policy of never giving such information out - even if the lives of Americans are in danger. Also, we discover that a super-secret division of the Mossad (called Al) is active in New York and Washington - engaged in spying on American citizens, recruiting Jewish "helpers", and carrying out covert activities. It employs between 24 and 27 field personnel, and most of their activity is with U.S. borders (primarily New York and Washington). http://abbc.com/islam/english/terror/ostrov3.htm A Boeing 767, United Airlines Flight 175, is swallowed by South Tower while an unnoticed supersonic aircraft directs a missile into Building 7 of the WTC complex, passing its target at almost the same second that sight of the doomed airliner is replaced by the impact explosion, an explosion just beginning to blossom. http://memes.org/stealth.htm Lyndon LaRouche, the Democratic Party pre-Presidential candidate, issued a blunt warning on Dec. 9, 2001, that the policies being pursued by Ariel Sharon and top officials of the Israeli Defense Force will surely lead to the self-destruction of Israel, and its future vilification as a Nazi-like state, guilty of hideous crimes against the Palestinian and Arab people. http://larouchein2004.net/pages/pressreleases/2001/011210sharonfascism.htm International Relations Committee today (December 12, 2001). If passed, it will give the Bush administration authority for a massive attack on Iraq. Such an attack will kill a lot of innocent Iraqi civilians. It will turn large numbers of Muslims completely against the United States and destroy any remnants of sympathy people may still have for us as victims of terrorist attack. It will certainly increase violence in the Middle East generally and may lead to an international war. http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/world/middle_east/newsid_1701000/1701002.stm According to Mr. Blythe, Kristol and Kagan are not alone in urging us toward what they call "The Right War" (2), but are joined by "Charles Krauthammer, Norman Podhoretz, William Safire, Morton Kondracke, Don Feder, Ben Wattenberg, and Mona Charen." He adds that "In the Bush administration, Paul Wolfowitz is the most prominent advocate of a multi-front war." http://groups.yahoo.com/group/agentsmiley/message/1644 The war in Afghanistan and the government commitment to a long fight against terrorism at home and abroad foreshadow increases both in defense budgets and, more importantly, in the government spending in new equipment and technology, analysts said. http://biz.yahoo.com/rf/011205/n04321155_2.html Significant changes are under way in the federal government's war on terrorism, including unprecedented electronic surveillance measures designed to uncover terrorist cells in the U.S. http://www.computerworld.com/storyba/0,4125,NAV47_STO66430,00.html Activists in the Green Party of the United States are asking the U.S. to hold the government of Israel accountable for the latest wave of bloodshed, and insist that Israel seek negotiation instead of the "War on Terrorism" against the Palestinian people that Israel's own policy of assassination recently ignited. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/agentsmiley/message/1645 The Northern Alliance is fiercely opposed to any sizeable international force being deployed in Afghanistan, but this is not the main reason for Blair’s hesitancy. Rather, for the first time since President Bush declared his “war on terrorism”, there are open divisions between the US and Britain, as well as serious differences over policy within each country’s ruling elites. http://www.wsws.org/articles/2001/dec2001/spli-d13.shtml The Directorate for Inter-Services Intelligence [ISI] was founded in 1948 by a British army officer, Maj Gen R Cawthome, then Deputy Chief of Staff in Pakistan Army. Field Marshal Ayub Khan, the president of Pakistan in the 1950s, expanded the role of ISI in safeguarding Pakistan's interests, monitoring opposition politicians, and sustaining military rule in Pakistan. http://fas.org/irp/world/pakistan/isi/ Asked how he pleaded to the charges, guilty or not guilty, Mr. Milosevic reacted like his old defiant self and said: 'This miserable text is the ultimate absurdity. I should be given credit for peace in Bosnia, not war.' Responsibility for the Bosnian war, he went on, 'lies with the Western powers that broke up Yugoslavia and their Yugoslav agents.' Because he failed to respond with a plea, the court entered a plea of not guilty. http://emperors-clothes.com/analysis/kla-aq.htm Israeli army bulldozers today demolished the Palestinian television and radio broadcasting centre in Ramallah, in the West Bank, and were preparing to blow up the main transmitting mast, an AFP reporter at the scene said. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/agentsmiley/message/1647 Pope John Paul II called Tuesday for an end to the embargo on Iraq and said the Church would share in the "unjustly inflicted" suffering of Iraqis on Friday, a day of fasting for Catholics. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/agentsmiley/message/1649 The controversy, rumours and speculation surrounding the FBI's Magic Lantern tool has attracted ridicule from the internet underground. Not so any more. Now both the infamous hacker group the Cult of the Dead Cow (cDc) and Microsoft have offered a helping hand to the Feds and are preparing to include the surveillance software in all future editions and updates of the new Microsoft Windows XP operating system. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/agentsmiley/message/1650 The situation in the West Bank and Gaza is extremely bad. The criminal Sharon government has now formally cut off ties even with the Palestinian Authority and has launched massive bombardment and an attack intent on reoccupying the 18% of the West Bank and Gaza which include Palestinian population centers. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/agentsmiley/message/1651 Last night the Israeli army raided the West Bank and Gaza Strip, with the War Criminal Sharon unleashing his full military might and terrorizing the Palestinian civilian population. The Israeli attack on Gaza last night was a horrific and an intolerable act of terrorism which obviously violates our U.S. Arms Exports Control Act. I mean Israel has gone way over board in using our American made Apache Helicopters and F-16 fighters that struck with missiles weighing 1500lb, completing the destruction of Gaza civilian airport. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/agentsmiley/message/1652 In the US, organized criminal activity has never been a serious threat to established economic and political power sructures, but more often a fluid, variable, and open-ended phenomenon that complemented those structures. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/agentsmiley/message/1653 It may seem strange to you that while people are dying and Israeli leaders are fast cutting off the contacts that preserve the option of talking rather than killing, CPT is sending you an Urgent Action Appeal about curfew in Hebron. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/agentsmiley/message/1654 The 7 December 2001 broadcast of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's As It Happens [Real Audio link] uncovered a disturbing example of corporate and political interference in freedom of the press. The program reported on a new editorial policy directive from CanWest Global, a leading Canadian media conglomerate, that impairs readers' ability to make up their own minds about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, among other issues. http://electronicIntifada.net/actionitems/20011211.html Neighborhoods are under curfew, and Israeli tanks have taken up locations within the city. These area's are also being monitored by drone helicopters for collection information, and wearabouts of Palestinian Authority policeman and guards for targets. http://www.ramallahonline.com/article.php?sid=614&mode=&order=0&thold=0 We are under a new air attack in Ramallah as I write! http://groups.yahoo.com/group/agentsmiley/message/1655 In the light of the dramatic escalation of violence over the last 24 hours, Richard Burden MP, Chair of BPAPG (Britain Palestine All Party Group) has called for an emergency debate in the House of Commons on the Middle East crisis. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/agentsmiley/message/1656 Below are two articles in the Yale Herald about Continua magazine (a magazine by Yale students speaking of truths not frequently heard in the US media, its debut issue was released with articles about so many topics including basic human rights). I think it is legally actionable to label people who criticize Israel as anti-Semitic. At best it is a cop-out and intellectually dishonest. I urge the editors to take the Yale Herald to task for publishing such venom about them being "anti-Semitic" (BTW, two of the six student editors of Continua are Jewish). http://groups.yahoo.com/group/agentsmiley/message/1657 A Harvard trained public health expert has released a stunning report exposing links between leading suspects in the anthrax mailings case and top bioweapons developer Battelle Memorial Institute (BMI) of West Jefferson, Ohio. The report considers the widely criticized FBI inquiry and concludes investigators have been blocked by officials linked to pharmaceutical company profiteers. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/agentsmiley/message/1659 The first chapter closed yesterday on an historic case involving New York State's 150-year-old "mask law," says attorney Ron Kuby. Fourteen anarchists who had been arrested on May Day 2000 for "masquerading in public" at a march for undocumented workers' rights received a verdict of guilty from Judge Ellen Coyne of Manhattan Criminal Court. She sentenced them to two days' community services - prosecutors had asked for 15 - and fines of $60 apiece, plus 15 days in jail if they don't complete the community service. http://www.infoshop.org/inews/stories.php?story=01/12/13/2471646 The Skeptical Environmentalist presents itself as a work of impartial scholarship, an attempt to test the validity of various environmental concerns through a careful analysis of the evidence. In fact, it's a polemic, an intellectually dishonest tract filled with glaring omissions, appalling errors of fact and analysis, and inaccurate characterizations of contrary arguments. There are some valid points as well -- Greenpeace and other advocacy groups have distorted scientific information for their own ends -- but Lomborg must be read with a very skeptical eye. http://www.infoshop.org/inews/stories.php?story=01/12/12/3346173 On Sept. 20, as much of the country was still in shock from the attacks on the Pentagon and the World Trade Center, self-proclaimed members of the Animal Liberation Front firebombed a primate research lab in New Mexico, causing $1 million in damage. http://www.infoshop.org/inews/stories.php?story=01/12/12/1849366 For nearly a decade, U.S. Army scientists at Dugway Proving Ground in Utah have made small quantities of weapons-grade anthrax that is virtually identical to the powdery spores used in the mail attacks that have killed five people, government sources say. http://www.commondreams.org/headlines01/1212-01.htm Public opinion polls have become a kind of Fifth Estate in American politics. As soon as they are released, poll results become fodder to justify policies, attack opponents or wage wars. When the numbers hover around 90 percent, as do Bush's current approval ratings, they are political gospel. After all, when 9 out of 10 Americans agree, the country's resolve must be strong as steel ... Or is it? http://www.infoshop.org/inews/stories.php?story=01/12/11/6640306 Afghanistan is a tragic country. The Soviet-backed coup and subsequent invasion in 1979 ushered in more than two decades of brutal war. During the 1980's, the US supplied at least USD 32 billion [1] of military aid to the mujahadeen, the Islamic opposition to the Soviet regime. The US explicitly channelled their funding to the most fanatical and violent islamists in an attempt to cause the maximum damage to the Russians. http://struggle.ws/issues/war/afghan/pamwt/afghan.html __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
