-Caveat Lector- How should the Pentagon get Osama bin Laden? With a discreetly placed nuke, says Rep. Steven Buyer, the right-wing congressman from northern Indiana. "Don't send special forces in there to sweep," Buyer told an Indianapolis TV station. "We'd be very naive to believe that biotoxins and chemical agents were not in these caves. Put a tactical nuclear device in and close these caves for a thousand years." http://globalresearch.ca/articles/CLA112A.html
Earlier this year, the U.S. administration bribed the Taliban to stop growing opium -- a most effective use of baksheesh, according to the United Nations, which found that Afghan opium production dropped from 3,300 tons annually to less than 200. But the Northern Alliance leapt manfully into the breach, engineering a threefold rise in opium output in its territory this year. http://www.gvnews.net/html/Opinion/opin034.html Two more brother buffalo are on their way to slaughter as I write this update.

Ominously, it also held that if Syria and Iran refused to drop all support for Hezbollah, "the administration should consider appropriate measures of retaliation against these known state sponsors of terrorism. http://www.villagevoice.com/issues/0147/vest.php Iraq said it would consider accepting monitoring of its weapons program if trade sanctions imposed by the United Nations were lifted. http://dailynews.yahoo.com/htx/nm/20011121/wl/iraq_un_sanctions_dc_1.html A survey at the end of October for The Forward, an independent national news weekly of Jewish affairs, found American Jews almost evenly split ¡Ö 51.5 percent for, 48.5 percent against ¡Ö on the question of whether the Bush administration was right to call in mid-October for Israeli "restraint" in "responding to Palestinian terrorism."

But: "If you're going to run the world, you have to pay attention to the world." That world, he suggests, is one which contains several great powers, and it is not only Europe's strength to which the US will have to adjust in time but that of China, Russia and India - as well as to the paradoxical strength which arises, among weaker Muslim countries, from their discontent and unhappiness. http://www.guardian.co.uk/comment/story/0,3604,609389,00.html The people in Sudan want to resolve the conflict.

American goodwill then creates a groundswell for intervention, which usually ends up causing more misery and chaos. Clinton's bombing of Serbia left an inconclusive, festering mess in the Balkans, as well as an economic disaster because of blockaded Danube River traffic. It frightened the Russians about NATO/U.S. intentions and stimulated other nations, including China to update their weaponry.

According to Derbyshire, whose rhetoric is reproduced with tremulous flattery in WFB¡¯s otherwise predictably unreadable column of April 18, it is unreasonable to insist that the same rules be applied to us and them. After all, the US is "a democracy of free people whose power derives from the consent of the governed so that the wider America¡¯s influence spreads, the better for humanity." By contrast, China is a corrupt, brutish and lawless despotism, the close containment of which is a pressing interest for the whole human race." http://www.lewrockwell.com/gottfried/gottfried10.html The difference between true education and vocational training has been cleverly blurred.

And as you'll see below, that's not the half of it. HAVE YOU ASKED YOURSELF WHY THE U.S. MEDIA WAS ALL OVER THIS STORY THE DAY AFTER 9-11 OCCURED . . . AND THEN DROPPED IT SUDDENLY? http://www.indymedia.org/front.php3?article_id=84151&group=webcast With the announcement of the attacks at the World Trade Center in New York, the international media, particularly the Israeli one, hurried to take advantage of the incident and started mourning 4000 Israelis who work at the two towers. Then suddenly, no one ever mentioned anything about those Israelis and later it became clear that they remarkably did not show up in their jobs the day the incident took place. No one talked about any Israeli being killed or wounded in the attacks. http://indymedia.org:8081/front.php3?article_id=65153 Five Israelis who had worked for a moving company based in New Jersey are being held in U.S. prisons for what the Federal Bureau of Investigation has described as "puzzling behavior" following the terror attack on the World Trade Center in New York last Tuesday. http://www.indymedia.org.il/imc/israel/webcast/display.php3?article_id=7442.

Guatemalan dictator Rios Montt trained at the "School of the Americas" (and under investigation for "alleged genocide" committed in the 1980s) is now the president of Guatemala's Congress under a multi-party "democracy". The December 1999 elections in Guatemala had been monitored by the Organization of American States (OAS).

People on the Left see Fascism and people on the Right see Socialism at work. Those who think independantly of the political spectrum can see it is all one New World Order Beast. The Clintons represented the Socialist head and Bush represents the Fascist head. This is just how things get done, how to keep the people confused, divided and conquered. This is the Masonic Ordo Ab Chao, Order Through Chaos.

It brought an equally radical change in matrix reality – a complete reversal in the attitude that was projected regarding government. Government policies had always been criticised in the media, but the institution of government had always been respected – reflecting the traditional bond between capitalism and nationalism. With Reagan, we had a sitting president telling us that government itself was a bad thing. Many of us may have agreed with him, but such a sentiment had never before found official favour. Soon, British and American populations were beginning to applaud the destruction of the very democratic institutions that provided their only hope of participation in the political process. http://www.newdawnmagazine.com/Articles/Escaping%20the%20Matrix.html At the center of world events today is a process called 'globalization.' Few topics are so frequently discussed and at the same time so little understood. The generally accepted view, reflected in Clinton's words above, is that globalization is primarily a matter of economics, and that it is inevitable - forced by revolutionary developments in communications and other technologies. In fact, globalization is neither inevitable nor is it primarily about economics or technology. Globalization is a policy choice; the process of globalization is being carefully managed and directed - and its economic aspects are merely symptoms. At its core globalization represents a coup d'etat - a covert political revolution led from above and bringing a profound restructuring of power, globally and nationally. http://cyberjournal.org/cj/guide/world_today.shtml The decision-making part of humanity is dominated by a particular ideology - the ideology of economic growth. Our very definition of a "healthy economy" is expressed in terms of the rate at which it is growing. The process of globalization has entrenched the growth ideology even further - as reflected in the modern usage of the term "competitive". In earlier times "competitive" referred to the ability of a nation to compete on world markets. The term reflected efficiency of production, competence in marketing, and a sound national economy. But under globalization, nations compete to attract investors and corporate operators. Global investors seek those opportunities which offer the greatest promise of growth for their funds. Thus in order to be competitive - in the modern sense - a nation must orient its policies around encouraging and supporting unrestrained economic growth - despite whatever social deterioration and environmental degradation might be caused. http://cyberjournal.org/cj/rkm/gri.shtml "The Mission of the Christian Coalition is simple.

Gen.
