I am not the first person whose death George Bush has anticipated, nor will I be the last.

A few days ago, while analyzing the expenses involved in the construction of three submarines of the Astute series, I said that with this money “75,000 doctors could be trained to look after 150 million people, assuming that the cost of training a doctor would be one-third of what it costs in the United States.” Now, along the lines of the same calculations, I wonder: how many doctors could be graduated with the one hundred billion dollars that Bush gets his hands on in just one year to keep on sowing grief in Iraqi and American homes. Answer: 999,990 doctors who could look after 2 billion people who today do not receive any medical care.

More than 600,000 people have lost their lives in Iraq and more than 2 million have been forced to emigrate since the American invasion began. In the United States, around 50 million people do not have medical insurance. The blind market laws govern how this vital service is provided, and prices make it inaccessible for many, even in the developed countries. Medical services feed into the gross domestic product of the United States, but they do not generate conscience for those providing them nor peace of mind for those who receive them. Read more

The anti-Semite Ashkenazo-Zionist cult internal policies towards the Jews: The Betrayal and The Mask

A new book by Dr. Aaron Itshaki, The Betrayal, The Ideological Sources of the Regime in the State of Israel.

shlomo-asulin-shot-dead.jpeg

Picture: Shot to death by the Ashkenazo-Zionist regime while trying to inform the world of the thousands of abducted Jewish (Mizrahi*) children this cult has abused for ‘medical experiments’ and ritual practices. The late Shlomo Asulin is carried by his brothers in arms minutes after he was shot, 1994. *Mizrahi (or Sephardi): the genuine Jews, from Muslim countries and their descendants (Ashkenazis: mainly eastern Europeans and descendants).

A new book about the Ashkenazo-Zionist cult who brutally, mercilessly, and with no trace of moral boundaries, tries for few decades to get total and false possession and control over the Jewish people and terms like “Racism”, “Israel”, “Jews”, “Judaism”, “Holocaust”, and others. And over Palestine when claiming to be and to own all of those.

Dr. Itshaki demonstrates some of their criminal and perverted ways, practices and mechanisms through Jewish eyes, both as a scientific researcher and as one who had to face them as a victim. Dr. Itshaki was born and raised in Baghdad, Iraq, and immigrated to the Ashkenazo-Zionist state with his family in his youth without them knowing of the destruction they were going to face.

The Betrayal follows his former book, The Mask, Introduction to Ethnic Strategy in the State of Israel (Comparative Research). Both The Betrayal and The Mask are also based on Ashkenazo-Zionist government documents, documents from the Central Ashkenazo-Zionist Archives and their ‘Labor party’ Archive, research books, publications, periodicals, interviews and memories.

The author’s thesis for his doctorate, granted by the University of Jerusalem, dealt with the history of the Ashkenazo-Zionist entity in Palestine prior to the establishment of the ‘State of Israel’. Dr. Itshaki is also a graduate of the University of Jerusalem’s School of Education.

The present research places special emphasis on the sources from which the Ashkenazo-Zionist ‘State of Israel’ drew its primary ideological foundations which constitute the basis for its attitude the two sectors the research examines: the Ashkenazi and the Mizrahi sectors. This make it easier to understand the diabolic daily attitude and decades-old genocidel policy of the Ashkenazo-Zionists towards the noble Palestinian people.

Those sources are:

1. Racism

2. Anti-Semitism

3. Nietzschean

4. The Formation of an Ashkenazo-Zionist nationalism which excludes the Jews (the Mizrahis)

All these ideologies try to depend, in the most twisted way, to one extent or another, on the Old Testament. Read more

Bush Anoints Himself as the Insurer of Constitutional Government in Emergency

By Matthew Rothschild

bush_007.jpg

With scarcely a mention in the mainstream media, President Bush has ordered up a plan for responding to a catastrophic attack.

In a new National Security Presidential Directive, Bush lays out his plans for dealing with a “catastrophic emergency.”

Under that plan, he entrusts himself with leading the entire federal government, not just the Executive Branch. And he gives himself the responsibility “for ensuring constitutional government.”

He laid this all out in a document entitled “National Security Presidential Directive/NSPD 51″ and “Homeland Security Presidential Directive/HSPD-20.”

The White House released it on May 9.

Other than a discussion on Daily Kos led off by a posting by Leo Fender, and a pro-forma notice in a couple of mainstream newspapers, this document has gone unremarked upon.

The subject of the document is entitled “National Continuity Policy.” Read more

The Costs of War: A Looming Crisis

WASHINGTON — As casualties in Iraq continue to mount, one of the nations leading economists has suggested that not only have we have entered a moral and strategic crisis, we are likely to confront a financial crisis as well because the administration has not raised the money to pay for the war.

The Iraq war and the “war on terror” will have tremendous financial consequences not just for us, but also for our children and grandchildren, says Robert D. Hormats, vice chairman of Goldman Sachs International, who has held high posts in three administrations, most recently serving as assistant secretary of state for economic and business affairs in the Ronald Reagan administration.

Hormats, who cites estimates of $2 trillion for the eventual cost of the war, believes the Bush administration’s long-term financial strategy, including its financing of the Iraq conflict and the war on terror, does not adequately incorporate future national security needs.

“We are living in a post-9/11 world with a pre-9/11 fiscal policy,” Hormats, the author of The Price of Liberty: Paying for America’s Wars, said in a presentation at the Council of Foreign Relations last week. Read more

Pakistan’s President shrugs off increased militancy in border region, backs talks with Taliban. The General says Pakistan played no role in creating Taliban and that the West should learn from Pakistan.

General Musharraf’s interview with the Canadian Globe and Mail

President General Pervez Musharraf said in an interview with The Globe and Mail that talks with the Taliban and other opposition may be necessary to bring stability to Afghanistan. “We have to have a multipronged strategy. In Afghanistan it is only the military strategy which is working now,” Gen Musharraf said, adding that peace could not come from the barrel of a gun. “[The] political element is the negotiations between warring factions. Who are the warring factions? Warring factions are the Afghan government and the coalition forces on one side and the militant Taliban and even non-Taliban … so some form of negotiations between these two.”"Maybe, there are groups who want to give up militancy and negotiate … so I can’t lay down whether you negotiate with the Taliban, but [if] they want to go on fighting, you don’t negotiate with them, take a military angle. You negotiate, you develop contacts with people who are not for fighting.” Read more

In Iraq For ‘Decades’

The Pentagon is making preparations to Keep tens of thousands of troops in iraq for ‘decades’.pace.JPG

In testimony before the Senate Appropriations Committee this month, Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Peter Pace uttered a “carefully worded” statement revealing that the Pentagon had no plans to fully withdraw U.S. forces from Iraq if legislation passes Congress mandating troop redeployment:

PACE: Sir, we have published no orders directing the planning for the overall withdrawal of forces. We do have ongoing replacements of forces, and we do change the size of the force over time so that that system is available to either plus-up or draw down, but we have published no orders saying come up with a complete plan for total drawdown.

NPR investigated Pace’s statements and found one scenario being considered within the Pentagon would maintain a strong U.S. military presence in Iraq for several decades into the future. Read more

The Second Coming of Saladin

The best lack all conviction
While the worst are full of passionate intensity.
- W B Yeats, The Second Coming

DAMASCUS - The discreet green-and-white tomb of the greatest warrior of Islam, Saladin - by the splendid Ummayad Mosque in the former seat of the caliphate - may be the ideal place to meditate on if, where and when Islam may be shaken again by the advent of a new Saladin, nine centuries after the illustrious deeds of the great Muslim general.

Saddam Hussein, not least because he was also from Tikrit (although Saladin was a Kurd), fashioned himself as the genuine article - fighting (twice) the infidel Christian armies of the US. He is now no more than a martyr for a minority. Osama bin Laden carefully fashioned his iconography as a cross between Saladin, Che Guevara and the Prophet Mohammed. But as in the immortal line in Francis Ford Coppola’s Apocalypse Now, “his methods are unsound”; despite the marketing success in the expansion of the al-Qaeda brand, bin Laden will never be able to capture the collective conscious of the Ummah.

The new Saladin might be the son of a Palestinian refugee victim of the Nakhba (”catastrophe”) 59 years ago. He might be a computer wizard too sophisticated to be tempted by al-Qaeda’s Salafi-jihadism. He might be an angry young man straight out of the “sanctions generation” in Iraq - deprived of everything while he was growing up, courtesy of the “international community”.

The Pro-Israel Lobby and US Middle East Policy: The Score Card for 2007

*James Petras, a former Professor of Sociology at Binghamton University, New York, is the author of more than 62 books published in 29 languages. James Petras latest book, “The Power of Israel in the United States” (Clarity Press: Atlanta, 2006)… see more on the article’s last page

Introduction
Never in recent history has US Middle East policy been subject to such a barrage of conflicting pressures from erstwhile allies, clients as well as adversaries. The points of contention involve fundamental issues of war and peace, foremost of which are divergent responses to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, the US-Iranian confrontation, the US occupation of Iraq as well as the US-Ethiopian proxy invasion and occupation of Somalia.

The major contenders for influence in the making of US policy in the Middle East include the ‘war party’ led by the Zionist power configuration and its followers in Congress and its allies among the civilian militarists in the White House led by Vice President Cheney, Secretary of State Rice, National Security Adviser for Middle East Affairs Elliot Abrams, along with an army of scribes in the major print media. On the other side are a small minority of Congress-people, ex-officials linked to Big Oil, a divided Peace Movement, Arab Gulf States, Saudi Arabia and a number of European countries on specific sets of issues.

To date the Zionist Power Configuration (ZPC) has consistently lined up its Congressional and White House backers and steamrollered domestic opposition in securing unconditional US backing for Israel’s position in the Middle East. One of the latest examples of the Zionist Power Configuration’s political and media influence is illustrated by their dismissal or omission of a major document on human and civil rights in Israel issued by the United Nation’s Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (published March 9, 2007). The study compiled by two-dozen experts offered 19 recommendations for Israel to comply with in 25 areas of racial discrimination against Arab citizens of Israel. Israel rejected the report, the ZPC automatically followed suit, as did Washington. Read more

Musharraf’s Political Options are Closing

A Daily Times Editorial

musharraf1.jpg

Everybody had predicted at the end of 2006 that 2007 would be a tough year for President General Pervez Musharraf. These predictions were made without even venturing a remote guess that he would confront a rather peaceable judiciary and precipitate an unprecedented crisis. Despite the annulment of the privatisation of the Steel Mills by the Supreme Court at the hands of a proactive chief justice of Pakistan, no one had even dreamed that the president would try to get rid of him in the way that he did.

When he tried to axe the chief justice, world opinion was shell-shocked. No one thought that the general would relapse to his pre-Kargil commando persona. In fact, many people thought he was in a temporary retreat after a series of failures experienced on other fronts. Therefore attempts were made to understand his difficulties and incapacity against the extremists and the Taliban even though there was a general consensus that he was reluctant to prevent the Taliban from attacking across the Durand Line. Meanwhile, his “deals” in Waziristan were not going so well; in fact they tended to push up the number of cross-border sallies by the Taliban. And when he tried to tame the seminaries that the world accused of incubating suicide-bomber mindsets, he simply lost out in the face of resistance from within his ruling PMLQ party. Still, the world tended to forgive him for failing with the madrassas because it was seen to be a hard task to accomplish given his cohabitation with the MMA. Read more

War-Pimping with a Smile: Of American Exceptionalism, Apple Pie, and Moral Rot

by Jason Miller

warpimp.jpg

Biography of Kathleen Parker excerpted from The Washington Post Writers Group page:

Now one of America’s most popular opinion columnists, appearing in more than 350 newspapers, Parker is at home both inside and outside the Washington Beltway. But she came to column-writing the old-fashioned way, working her way up journalism’s ladder from smaller papers to larger ones. “I never set out to become a commentator – and do continue to resist the label ‘pundit’ – but I found that keeping my opinion out of my writing was impossible,” says Parker. “One can only stand watching from the sidelines for so long without finally having to say, ‘Um, excuse me, but you people are nuts.’”

Despite myriad signs of the waning power and impending collapse of the abomination known as the American Empire or Pax Americana, there are those among us who insist on perpetuating history’s greatest and deadliest charade. While our nation inflicts tremendous misery and suffering upon the Earth and its sentient inhabitants, our opulent class and their sycophantic apologists dress the United States in a cloak of moral rectitude so pious that one who sees the truth finds it difficult to refrain from vomiting. History will afford us generous praise for our military prowess, economic might, but most of all, for our capacity to project a false image, both to ourselves and others.
