This has to be more than coincidence. Regardless of what this ‘anonymous’ source says.
Latest Sniper Victim Worked for FBI:
They think that an imprimatur from the ADL, a prominent Jewish group with a multi-million dollar budget and substantial media clout, is a kind of certification of our area’s goodness. But in point of fact, hosting the ADL and its regional Seattle director at the Coeur d’Alene Resort is a shameful blot on the region.
The ADL is a branch of the masonic B’nai B’rith (Sons of the Covenant), which was established Oct. 13, 1843.
Up until recently, for decades the chief “fact-finder” (head spy) for the ADL was the late Irwin Suall. From 1957 through 1962, Mr. Suall was national secretary of the Socialist Party. (1)
The ADL keeps extensive espionage files on those who are critical of Israeli policies. Last year the ADL attempted to blackmail Benjamin Chavis, leader of the NAACP, with some of those files. (2)
The ADL spies on American dissidents on behalf of the Israeli government. Automobile license plate numbers of people attending a meeting of the Committee on the Middle East were recorded by ADL agent Roy Bullock, channeled through San Francisco police officer Tom Gerard, also an ADL operative, and furnished to the Israeli government.

Oil has always been top of Bush’s foreign-policy agenda:
As the United States prepares for war with Iraq, a report commissioned early in George Bush’s presidency has surfaced, showing that the US knew it was running out of oil and foreshadowing the possible need for military intervention to secure supplies.
The report forecasts an end to cheap and plentiful fuel, with the energy industry facing “the beginning of capacity limitations”.
Prepared by the influential Washington-based Council on Foreign Relations and the James A. Baker III Institute for Public Policy, it urged the Bush Administration to admit “these agonising truths to the American people”.
Strategic Energy Policy Challenges for the 21st Century, written early last year, was a policy document used to shape the new administration’s energy policy.
It applauded the creation of Vice-President Dick Cheney’s energy task force to address the creation of specific energy plans, and suggested it consider including representation from the Department of Defence.
Saying “there is no alternative” and “there is no time to waste”, the document projects periods of exploding US energy prices, economic recession and social unrest unless answers are found.
It suggests that a minimum three to five years is needed to find a solution, and says a “reassessment of the role of energy in American foreign policy” is called for, with access to oil repeatedly cited as a “security imperative”.
The involvement of the Council of Foreign Relations in the report’s preparation adds weight to its findings. The council ranks as one of the most influential groups in US political circles, with members including Mr Cheney and the former secretaries of state Henry Kissinger and James Baker.
The report also explodes the myth that the US is insulated from Middle East oil supply problems because it receives the bulk of its oil from less volatile sources outside the Persian Gulf. It says Middle East pricing and supply trends “will affect energy costs around the globe regardless”.
I thought this was pretty funny.
BBC: Bush challenged to ‘duel’ with Saddam:
“The American president should specify a group, and we will specify a group and choose neutral ground with Kofi Annan as referee and use one weapon with a president against a president, a vice-president against a vice-president, and a minister against a minister in a duel.”
Mr Fleischer poured scorn on the proposal saying:
“In the past when Iraq had disputes, it invaded its neighbours. There were no duels; there were invasions. There was use of weapons of mass destruction and military. That’s how Iraq settles its disputes.”
Bush is a wuss. He talks a big talk when other people’s lives are on the line, but his blue blood is a little too precious.
Harvard’s Pro-Israel, Jewish president, Lawrence H. Summers, has attempted to paint critics of Israel as anti-Semites. This is the sort of thing a person does when they are unable or unwilling to make a coherent argument and wish to stifle discussion. This came after many students and professors have called for Harvard to divest itself of all Israeli investments.
Labeling the petition anti-Semitic is a strategy to detract from the criticisms of Israel,” Professor Spelke said. “It turns the substance of a political debate into a debate of morals and supposed racism.
I thought the following portion contained an important omission:
Lawrence S. Bacow, president of nearby Tufts University, applauded Mr. Summers for his stand. “University presidents ought to raise important questions and I think he has,” Mr. Bacow said, adding that he, too, was concerned about signs suggesting a rise in anti-Semitism on campuses.
Regardless of how unimportant it may actually be, isn’t it at least noteworthy to mention that Lawrence Bacow is Jewish? Might that not factor into your appraisal of the situation? He is the only other University president quoted in the piece.
You have to read this. It covers all the bases. You’re joking right? by Joel S.
8. Showdown with Saddam. Let’s send the boys into Baghdad. Let’s get that bastard. Hmmm… Who served in Nam? Not Dubya.. a pilot in the Air National Guard (p.s. don’t say the word kamikaze to a Texas pilot, they don’t know about those things). Not Cheney… “other priorities.” Perle, Wolfowitz, Card, and most of the Administration’s advisors and bureaucrats clamoring for war, ducked when it was their turn. But now we are supposed to charge blindly into war, without asking questions, or examining all of our options, even while in the middle of another war. You’re joking, right?
Oil. oil. oil. oil. oil. oil. oil. The criminal enterprise masquerading as our government is not even pretending anymore. They have been emboldened by American apathy and ignorance. They are now discussing what they will do with the oil fields they plan on stealing from Iraq. No doubt the investment made to buy the election for Bush has paid dividends. It’s disgusting. How many crimes will go committed in your name? How many people must die before these leeches are burned off?
Washington Post: War Could Unshackle Oil in Iraq: U.S. Drillers Eye Huge Petroleum Pool
“It’s pretty straightforward,” said former CIA director R. James Woolsey, who has been one of the leading advocates of forcing Hussein from power. “France and Russia have oil companies and interests in Iraq. They should be told that if they are of assistance in moving Iraq toward decent government, we’ll do the best we can to ensure that the new government and American companies work closely with them.”
But he added: “If they throw in their lot with Saddam, it will be difficult to the point of impossible to persuade the new Iraqi government to work with them.”
So, not only is the seizure of Iraq an important boon for American business, but it will be a lever against other players like Russia, France, and China to promote greater American power worldwide. While I would very much hate to see anyone die fighting in Iraq I hope that any military action committed is a disaster. This is not the way things should be done. There should not be double standards or two different sets of rules. With all this stupid crap Bush intones about a regime change in Iraq, we could stand to gain from the same idea. We need a regime change in the United States.
The US government has been attempting to push the idea that Osama bin Laden is dead. There is no significant evidence that this is the case, and if the government does have evidence they haven’t been forthcoming with it. Why do they want people to believe he is dead? Why is it so important to annihilate the idea of bin Laden? Strategically, if the US lies about bin Laden being dead or if they make everyone think he’s dead it does two things. First, it diminishes his example and his power as a symbol of opposition to American global hegemony. If he is thought dead, presumably as a result of American military action, it serves as an example against any who would oppose the United States. It sends the message that if you oppose the US and you will be obliterated. Secondly, spreading the idea of his death also forces Al Quaeda (if there even is such an organization) to prove that he still lives. This keeps Al Quaeda from being able to stay sufficiently underground as they will need to smuggle tapes and other evidence to the media.
How do we even know bin Laden is behind the WTC attacks? The government has demonstrated a disturbing lack of common sense and has proven itself incapable of finding any real information out. Consider the following: the tape in which Osama bin Laden allegedly confesses to blowing up the WTC has been shown to be a fake. At the very least it has been pieced together from tapes that are several years old. Also, despite government assertions to the contrary the real identities of the 9-11 hijackers are still unknown to the public. The government may know who they were, but they are most likely not the people they say they were. No bodies were recovered, and the hijackers have been shown to have been using stolen identities. The truth is, we really don’t know who they were. Many of the people the FBI said were the 9-11 hijackers have been show to still be alive and well in the mideast.
I don’t know what’s going on, but I know we’re being lied to and manipulated. This so-called war in Iraq is just another slap in our face.
