    Don't expect the UK to function any better than the US from this point forward in regards to Israel. Here's the new line up of officials already sworn to bend over and take it wherever Israel chooses to ply it.

    This concerns every person in every nation of the world. Israel and the United States have decided that international law doesn't apply to each anymore, but both nations are having a little trouble because both nations are in direct violation of International law. The solution? Declare it obsolete and re-write it. The example given here of using human shields is a deception. What Israel is referencing is urban warfare and fighting against an invading army from the buildings and locations the invading army is invading. This is what Israel defines as a 'human shield'. The law defines human shield as using a civilian or civilians purposely to place a buffer before your troops so that the civilians are shot at before you, what Israel and the United States both do in Iraq and Palestine under the guise of 'searching for terrorists'. What both nations are attempting to do is to make it a war crime for an invaded or occupied people to conduct guerrilla warfare from populated areas, basically disarming any resistance to occupation, oppression and bruit force.
    This will also apply to domestic issues. History shows consistently that the tactics an imperial nation uses upon citizens abroad eventually become the tactics it uses on its own citizens. The day will come when the American (and perhaps the Israeli people) will decide the blood diplomacy of their respective governments and the accompanying increased restrictions to their own lives at home are too high of a price. That is when they begin to demonstrate and fight back and that is when these laws then give the military the authority and legality to kill, crush and destroy their own people. That is what is at stake here. That is why every citizen of planet earth needs to know about this because such changes can and will be applied to all of us should we as citizens find it necessary to reign in rogue governments in the future.
    This tactic of changing the laws to suit objectives, morality be damned, is exactly what the Nazis, Communists, Kings and other rulers have done since time began.

    Once you get out from under the propaganda attempting to keep Americans (and Israelis) subservient to the boogy man, you'll begin to notice the rest of the world is moving on th bigger and better things. It will be interesting to see if this makes the US Media...probably not thou. We have too many car crashes and celebrity news to cover.

    Thanks for sending this Avmoor.

    As the US continues to press a policy of 'we own the world and we'll do whatever we please to hell with international law and treaties' the rest of the world is going to have to 1) form strategic alliances 2) get nuclear weapons---since we don't attack nuclear nations or cause regime change or 3) roll over and let us take what we want.
    Every country knows this and the US treatment of Spain, France and Germany, when they've objected to us has not gone unnoticed. Now the rapturists see this as a divine sign of the end of times. It's not. The bible passages they base their assumptions on occured already between 4AD and 70AD. What makes their belief dangerous is that they think escallating tensions will force God's hand. No, but it will lead the US down the same path as Rome, Holland, Portugal and other imperial nations. The EU is looking after its own. Given the US conduct over the past six years, they really don't have a choice.

    THIS IS THE SECOND BOOK IN HIS SERIES: A Game as old as Empire

    I just finished this book and found the chapter on Coltan (Columbite-tantalite) particularly interesting. I didn't even know this existed. One thing that is clear, nothing is going to change in this world until all people start holding banks, lenders and corporations accountable. This is all about raping nations and millions die. Read this and you'll think twice about getting that Xbox or throwing away your cell phone for another. I bought a dozen copies of this book and am passing them along to friends. Some of the stuff on banking is a little dry, (I don't like financial stuff so it may be just me on that) but the rest is quite revealing. This is a must read.

    Oh...and as Clinton, McCain, Obama and the others continue to tout how much they have raised to date...just think about who is buying them. The more they raise, the more they owe. This book will show you who the puppeteers are behind the scenes and put a whole new spin on our 'elections'.

    My Favorite quote from the book? "Hypocrisy is the tribute vice pays to virtue" --Rochefoucauld 1750's

  • Pentagon Papers Author Daniel Ellsberg Says Government...

    Rated Jul 21 2006 5 reviews terrorism, middle east, foreign policy, 911, us policy infowars.com

    I've stated several times that I'm of the opinion that senior members of our government at least knew about 911 ahead of time and may have been materially involved, (either that or we have no defenses in this country).

    More and more people are admitting to serious doubt over the cause of 9/11, especially the professors, scientists and those who were involved in intelligence. Case in point is Daniel Ellsberg, who exposed the set up for the Vietnam War by Nixon and Johnson, almost losing his life as a result. His infamous "Pentagon Papers" exposes those plans.

    He seems to have joined those at scholars for truth scholarsfor911truth.org [scholarsfor911truth.org] & scholarsfor911truth.org/WhoAreWe.html [scholarsfor911truth.org/WhoAreWe.html] or physics911.net [physics911.net]

    Questions need to be raised.:

    Daniel Ellsberg, speaking on air to GCN radio host Jack Blood, stated his concerns that criminal elements of the US government were psychologically capable to have carried out 9/11. He warned that within days after a US military strike on Iran that Bush's handlers would probably stage some type of terror attack in the West to legitimize the new war.

    "If there's another 9/11 or a major war in the Middle-East involving a U.S. attack on Iran, I have no doubt that there will be, the day after or within days an equivalent of a Reichstag fire decree that will involve massive detentions in this country."
    - Daniel Ellsberg Author, Pentagon Papers

    Now please consider the fact that in 2008, universal ID cards go into effect, our fourth amendment rights are slowly being circumvented; in 2008 as well Bush's highway payment plan which employs GPS systems in cars to bill for usage or shuts off non payers is set to be implimented...of course it pinpoints location so whoever is watching will know your habits, routes and where you are whenever they want to. Then we have Illinois and other states are attempting to make manditory mental health screening for all women and children, tracking from birth to death, (as our protection from another Andrea Yates it is billed as)...And those are just the categorizing, tracking and control mechanisms I can think of off the top of my head!

    WOW! I just heard Congressman Rahall on BBC World speaking about Lebanon, Israel, and the US. Thank God we have a few brave souls in congress. He actually stated the truth, not the propaganda or the Israeli agenda, (aka neocon US agenda).
    I especially liked that he dealt with the hypocrisy of the whole issue, how Israel's actions are completely out-of-line and totally an over-reaction and collective punishment. Too bad US media won't carry such forthright comments. We probably wouldn't be at war right now if they did.
    The Lobby will likely innundate him with hate mail now but this man, at least on the current issues of the Middle East is representing American interests and does deserve our support.

    Even his faith based initiatives, (Something I'm always suspect about since these are generally put forth by reconstructionists/dispensationalists who live in the Old Testiment and believe in a literal translation of the Bible) on quick purusal are constitutionally accurate. I especially like his statement: H.J.RES.85 : Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to clarify that the Constitution neither prohibits voluntary prayer nor requires prayer in schools.

    This is correct. US was never intended to be a godless society, we were simply intended to be a place where all could practice their faith without fear of persecution and private prayer, even on public grounds is okay under the constitution.

    Based upon the US plans for Russia in the 1950's, '60's and 70's...we've got no moral high ground with Iran, Iraq or any other nation with seeking or holding nuclear weapons. This article will show you just how hypocritical, and dangerous American terrorists can be. Only we call them military officials...who were supposed to be approved by the electorate.

    Here's a quote:
    The first civilian to see the plans, during the Kennedy administration, was, ironically enough, Daniel Ellsberg -- the Pentagon consultant who later leaked the "Pentagon Papers," revealing the disastrous lies behind America's war in Vietnam. What Ellsberg found was moral insanity almost beyond imagining. The only plan proposed by the "guardians" was an all-out nuclear strike on every city in the Soviet Union, as well as on China and the Warsaw Pact nations, with a deliberately low-balled estimate of 400 million people killed immediately. There were "no intermediate steps, no flexibility and no warnings" incorporated in the plan, which could be triggered by a range of non-nuclear provocations, some posing no direct threat to the United States at all. What's more, the high priest of the nuclear cult, General Curtis LeMay, reserved the right to launch this genocidal fury on his own, as a first strike, if he suspected the Soviets were preparing to attack.

    I've got two words for that..."Holy Sh**!"

    WORLD COUNCIL OF CHURCHES SLAMS ISRAEL
    I am not a fan of the JPost...it continues to be extremely racist and has spawned several journalistic hawks in the US. But, it does report on occasion information that US media won't. This article is one of those cases.

    THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THIS ARTICLE
    If you've read my Christian contributions you'll note I'm Conservative and Christian but I do not associate with or want anything to do with the so-called Christian Right. There is a fisher widening between those of us who are Christ Followers, which the World Council of Churches is and those who fall under the Christian Right known as Dispensational (Rapture, Armageddon, End of Times, Israel is the fulfillment of biblical prophecy, literal interpretations of the Bible...even the dreams and analogies and a so called Biblical World View) and Reconstructionists (The United States must be a theocracy for Christ to return plus the end of times, Israel is the fulfillment of biblical prophecy literal Bible world view).

    What this article shows is the line in the sand between the followers of Christ who live by his example and cannot support what Israel is doing morally, politically or theologically. And the Christian Right which believes Israel is above God's laws and they are exempt from Christ's teachings because the oppression, apartheid and murder Israel uses on a daily basis that they support, protect and endorse is actually God. (You can add every war the US has fought since 1946 to that equation as well. None were defensive. All were offensive.) Christ is not and never has been pro war, period.

    This division between Christ Followers and the Christian Right will continue to grow as the Christian Right becomes more extreme, intollerant, war and blood hungry and attempts to force its views on others...another thing Christ never did. He taught, debated but never forced.
