Operation Expose The Government Terrorists: Five Year Anniversary

Exactly 5 years ago today Alex Jones launched a campaign to raise awareness to the potential of highly secretive elements of the US government paving the way for a massive terror attack within the country in order to centralize power domestically and launch a new geopolitical imperial crusade.

On Wednesday July 25th 2001, during a taping of Alex's local cable access TV show in Austin, Texas, he elaborated on how the Globalists were set to use their operative Osama bin Laden and that the preparations for a terror attack were in their final stages. He mentioned the World Trade Center as a popular target.

Alex didn't have a crystal ball, he merely studied the elite's propaganda about impending doom and was able to connect the dots and make a prediction that would materialize on September 11, 2001.

The situation in Lebanon today makes a staged false flag attack in America all the more likely and we remain ever vigilant of this eventuality.

UN attack looks deliberate: Annan

UN Secretary General Kofi Annan today said he was "shocked" at Israel's "apparently deliberate targeting" of a UN post in Lebanon, in which up to four UN observers were killed.

Mr Annan described the strike as a "co-ordinated artillery and aerial attack on a long established and clearly marked UN post."

He said it took place "despite personal assurances given to me by Prime Minister Ehud Olmert that UN positions would be spared Israeli fire."

"Furthermore, General Alain Pelligrini, the UN Force Commander in south Lebanon, had been in repeated contact with Israeli officers throughout the day on Tuesday, stressing the need to protect that particular UN position from attack.

"I call on the Government of Israel to conduct a full investigation into this very disturbing incident and demand that any further attack on UN positions and personnel must stop.

"The names and nationalities of those killed are being withheld pending notification of their families. I extend sincere condolences to the families of our fallen peacekeepers."

Of course it was no accident. The UN observers have been there for a long time.

David,
Good luck with the computer. Confidence is everything. I always tell my loved ones that I know what I'm doing, especially when I'm driving and cooking. It helps maintain stability within the core area.
It also helps if you believe those around you know what they're doing. For instance, this morning as we weaved toward the curb after a sharp turn I BELIEVED my daughter was not going to kill us both.

David,

Here is a tip. If you ever lose a computer file, just call up the White House and ask for a back up.

Capt,
That was a tragedy. If it was deliberate those responsible for ordering the attack need to be prosecuted. In this time of conflict no one is safe. Not women with children, the press, and now UN peacekeepers. This is complete insanity.

Excellent advice.

here's another tip:

Problems with Israeli Military Performance

The Israelis are finding that the Hizbullah guerrillas have excellent intelligence on Israeli weaponry, and that they are capable of fighting orderly tactical battles from buildings with machine guns and rocket-propelled grenades. In other words, they are not facing the militia of tobacco share croppers. They are facing a highly professional military force, perhaps the most professional in the region aside from Israel's own.

The Israeli military is rapidly scaling back its military goals, since the ones initially announced with such confidence (pushing Hizbullah back 35 miles and completely destroying its missile arsenal) are obviously pie in the sky. The Israelis are stumbling around so badly that yesterday they lost a helicopter and killed 6 of their own men (it could have been much worse).

Rasmussen Says Bush Dropped Five Points Overnight

Based on a tip from commenter Tano, I checked the Rasmussen website this morning in the aftermath of the Gallup poll showing a three-point drop for Bush in the last two weeks. Sure enough, as Tano said, Scott Rasmussen is reporting this morning that in his three-day rolling average poll on Bush's approval rating, Bush has fallen five points overnight from 42% down to 37%. Rasmussen indicates that Bush's stem cell veto last week is just now making its way into the electorate's consciousness, a decision that Rasmussen finds is supported by only 26% of the electorate. If this is correct, and as Tano notes, it is possible that both Gallup and Rasmussen are the canary in the coal mines of Bush's soon-to-be-falling-again approval ratings.

Yes, Bush isn't on the ballot this fall, vulnerable GOP incumbents are. But those GOP incumbents will have to defend Bush and their own record on Iraq, gas prices, the stem cell decision, immigration proposals that go too far, and the deteriorating situation in the Middle East. Democrats must hammer over and over again the need to replace a rubber-stamp Congress with one that will be a check and balance to a failing administration. Hell, even the White House seems to sense that they are in danger of losing the House, and their Senate challengers don't even want to be seen with Bush.

The delivery of at least 100 GBU 28 bunker busters bombs containing depleted uranium warheads by the United States to Israel for use against targets in Lebanon will result in additional radioactive and chemical toxic contamination with consequent adverse health and environmental effects throughout the middle east.

Today, U.S., British, and now Israeli military personnel are using illegal uranium munitions- America's and England's own "dirty bombs" while U.S. Army, U.S. Department of Energy, U.S. Department of Defense, and British Ministry of Defence officials deny that there are any adverse health and environmental effects as a consequence of the manufacture, testing, and/or use of uranium munitions to avoid liability for the willful and illegal dispersal of a radioactive toxic material - depleted uranium.

The megalomaniacs that control Israel wish to live in a world largely devoid of Muslims or Persians and they have embarked on a hundred year plus mission of ethnic cleansing to wipe them from the globe. The blitzkrieg of Lebanon is part of this process.

Race-specific bio-weapons have already been developed for this purpose.

From Wired News

"Israel is reportedly developing a biological weapon that would harm Arabs while leaving Jews unaffected, according to a report in London's Sunday Times.
The report, citing Israeli military and western intelligence sources, says that scientists are trying to identify distinctive genes carried by Arabs to create a genetically modified bacterium or virus."

"The "ethno-bomb" program is based at Israel's Nes Tziyona research facility. Scientists are trying to use viruses and bacteria to alter DNA inside living cells and attack only those cells bearing Arabic genes."

US rejects Iraq DU clean-up

The US says it has no plans to remove the debris left over from depleted uranium (DU) weapons it is using in Iraq.

It says no clean-up is needed, because research shows DU has no long-term effects.

It says a 1990 study suggesting health risks to local people and veterans is out of date.

A United Nations study found DU contaminating air and water seven years after it was used.

DU, left over after natural uranium has been enriched, is 1.7 times denser than lead, and very effective for punching through armoured vehicles.

When a weapon with a DU tip or core strikes a solid object, like the side of a tank, it goes straight through before erupting in a burning cloud of vapour. This settles as chemically poisonous and radioactive dust.

DU will be causing problems for many years.

The Israelis have put themselves in a tight spot. They can't lose. And now they are figuring out they might not be able to win.

Israel not win? Hardly. I know you pray for that, but that will not be the case.

Bush should have a "take a Senator to work day." He could make John Kerry President for a day and send him to the middle east to solve the problem. After all, this wouldn't have happened had he became President in reality. My guess, Kerry would pull a Couric and refuse to go.

The Bush go it alone foriegn policy has not delivered stellar results. Maybe it's not such a bad idea to consider a new approach regardless of whose ideas it based on. The decider is trying to run foriegn policy like a domestic political campaign and the result is over budget and under performing. The stakes are too high to allow him fuc% this up too.

The strategy of isolating regimes which pose the greatest threat to our security closes us off to gains that can be made when our interests intersect. Syria and the US may have a common interest in opporisiton of an armed Hezbollah but we won't know because we wont talk to them.

The wicked Israelis will pay. Heed the advice given 2000 years ago Israel, flee, your day of reckoning draws near. You never listened before, I doubt you will now. And the same fate will befall you. As it ever was. You deserved your fate then, you deserve the same now.

That is because Syria and Iran are Hezbollah.
Israel deserves victory, which I am sure it will achieve. The only day of "wreckoning" I see is for Hezbollah.

MATTHEWS on IMUS

"I don't know what Bush stood for, except I'm a cool guy and Gore isn't, and that was our problem. We elected the guy because he was a little cooler than the other guy, and, I hope the next election, it isn't a problem of who goes to bed with their wife at 9:30 at night, or who knows how to tell a joke on a stage. But it's who had the sense of strength that comes from having read books, most of their life, tried to understand history. Every mistake we're making in the Middle East right now, was made years and years ago by the British, by the French, but the mistakes they made in Vietnam were made by the French before. In Algeria the French made all the mistakes we're making now. If you engage in an invasion you will face resistance from the local people based upon religion, and that, and nationalism. You will then have to put down that insurgency, and you're going to have to use cruelty and torture to get information, because it's the only way to get intel in a counter insurgency. Every single thing that's happened to Iraq was predicted by history. It's a standard pattern. Ten, twenty years from now, when kids are reading this in high school? They are going to say, 'Why were the Americans so dumb'? They committed the same mistakes that all the Europeans had done before. And it's like these guys, everything is a surprise. The insurgency was a surprise. The no WMD was a surprise. Everything that happens, now he's out there now, taking the Arabs side against this, that's a surprise. Some of these guys are anti-Semitic. That's a surprise? Everything is known, and the big thing about this crowd that came in around Bush's.. they must have known it, but they didn't want to know it, and Bush didn't have the academic background to challenge them. And I don't know what this guy's? The Vice President is. The Vice President is, you notice how he hides during difficult times. He's in his bunker. He's in his undisclosed location. Where's Cheney in all this?

Chris Farley is a joke. Why do any of you take him seriously?

Why, they have suffered fierce casualties in their war on terror, like some tendinities, a carpal tunnel or two, and that twitch on that guy's back when he bent over to take out file folder from a cabinet. Such are the horrors of chickenhawk war. (link)

Bush agrees to more troops for Baghdad, taking them supposedly from parts of Iraq that are relatively quiet. Watch the insurgency's whack-a-mole strategy in action.

Chris Farley was a comedian.

MEDIA STRAINS TO PORTRAY BUSH AS ACTIVE PARTICIPANT IN MIDEAST CRISIS; CNN SAYS MIDEAST TURMOIL GOOD FOR BUSH.

It's been kind of interesting to watch the big news orgs struggle and strain to portray President Bush as an active, hands-on participant in resolving the mideast crisis. As I noted below, Newsweek got extraordinary access to Bush for days on end, and somehow managed to portray him as a decisive crisis manager without capturing him in the act of making a meaningful decision. Now check out this extraordinary paragraph on CNN's politics page:

The Middle East crisis is giving President Bush a second chance to be a peacemaker and, however counterintuitive, an unexpected new chance to make headway on his grand goal of leaving the Middle East more democratic than he found it. (link)

That one belongs in the time capsule, doesn't it? Anyone by chance recall Bush's first effort to be a "peacemaker"? Me either. I do, however, vaguely recall him initiating a war of choice on false pretenses that has left over 2,500 Americans dead and many tens of thousands severely wounded. Maybe in the world of CNN war is peace, as the Orwellian phrase has it. It's also worth pointing out that the Bush administration has actually rebuffed calls for the U.S. to push for a cease-fire.

And Chris Matthews isn't?

Talk show host. Former senior staffer on Capitol Hill. He used to line up right behind the president.

Chris Matthews: Is Al Qaeda "trying to get people to vote Democrat for president?"
On the July 8 edition of MSNBC's Hardball with Chris Matthews, host Chris Matthews echoed unsubstantiated claims that Al Qaeda would like Senator John Kerry (D-MA) to beat President George W. Bush in the November presidential election.

Matthews is a comedian albeit a horrible one. Again, why would anyone take him seriously?

You should get out more often. Have a good night.

What makes someone a "chicken hawk"?

Jeff Jacoby launched an impassioned attack in The Boston Globe on Sunday against what he calls "the chicken hawk slur," an attack which was widely hailed by many who apparently feel they've been unfairly smeared with the term. But in order to attack the "chicken hawk" argument, Jacoby completely distorted what it actually means:

"Chicken hawk" isn't an argument. It is a slur -- a dishonest and incoherent slur. It is dishonest because those who invoke it don't really mean what they imply -- that only those with combat experience have the moral authority or the necessary understanding to advocate military force.

That is simply not what "chicken hawk" means, and it is less than forthright of Jacoby to mis-define the concept in order to argue against it. Although there is no formal definition for it, the "chicken hawk" criticism is not typically made against someone who merely (a) advocates a war but (b) will not fight in that war and/or has never fought in any war

Yes, he used to write speeches for the President....Carter. An even bigger joke than Matthews!

Time for a new war yet?

The new war in the Middle East has almost completely eclipsed the old war in Iraq, at precisely the time that Iraq appears to be on the verge of total collapse. How are things going in Iraq? Here is yesterday's article by The Independent's Patrick Cockburn, the Middle East correspondent who has been reporting from Iraq for several years (h/t Billmon):

The Iraqi Prime Minister, Nouri al-Maliki, meets Tony Blair in London today as violence in Iraq reaches a new crescendo and senior Iraqi officials say the break up of the country is inevitable.

"Iraq as a political project is finished," a senior government official was quoted as saying, adding: "The parties have moved to plan B." He said that the Shia, Sunni and Kurdish parties were now looking at ways to divide Iraq between them and to decide the future of Baghdad, where there is a mixed population. "There is serious talk of Baghdad being divided into [Shia] east and [Sunni] west," he said. . . .

But he painted a picture of a deeply divided administration in which senior Sunni members praised anti-government insurgents as "the heroic resistance".

Andrew Sullivan today publishes an e-mail from an American solider in Iraq, reporting that "Baghdad has descended into complete anarchy" and that Iraqi police officers are afraid even to drive to Baghdad. Sullivan calls our invasion of Iraq, which he vocally supported, "one of the the biggest military fiascoes in American history." I realize there is always controversy generated when supporters of the war end up acknowledging that it was a mistake, but between someone who acknowledges error and those who continue to insist in the face of undeniable reality that things are going well in Iraq and that our invasion was the right thing to do, I will take the former over the latter every time.

Sen. Arlen Specter has an Op-Ed in this morning's Washington Post which attempts to justify his proposed FISA legislation -- legislation which, at its core, renders legal the President's lawbreaking and cedes to the President the right to eavesdrop on Americans with no judicial oversight. The bill would also all but kill pending litigation challenging the legality of the President's eavesdropping conduct, and endorse a theory of presidential power so extreme that even the President's own Attorney General rejects it.

An Inconvenient Summer -- 59% of U.S. public think global warming demands "immediate or some action"

Neoconservatism and the White House -- Still Married

Apparently, it isn't enough that the U.S. has been defending without reservation the wisdom of the Israeli bombing campaign in Lebanon. Nor is it enough that we have been unilaterally blocking a cease-fire and other diplomatic solutions. Nor is it enough that the American taxpayer pays for enormous amounts of Israel's military equipment -- from the planes flying over Lebanon to the tanks entering it. Now we are handing Israel the very bombs that they drop in order to flatten more and more of Lebanon, on a bomb-by-bomb basis:

The Bush administration is rushing a delivery of precision-guided bombs to Israel, which requested the expedited shipment last week after beginning its air campaign against Hezbollah targets in Lebanon, American officials said Friday.

59% of enviro-wackos believe in global warming. Just like 59% of enviro-wackos thought there was an impending ice age 30 years ago. 30 years from now, 59% of enviro-wackos will claim the climate is too stable to sustain life. Enjoy your wacko environ-mentals. They will always find some reason to try to panic others to raise money for their cause. They extort in the same manner as Jessie Jackson.

More forest burns worldwide

A team at California's Scripps Institution, in a headline-making report this month, found that warmer temperatures, causing earlier snow runoff and consequently drier summer conditions, were the key factor in an explosion of big wildfires in the U.S. West over three decades, including fires now rampaging east of Los Angeles.

Researchers previously reached similar conclusions in Canada, where fire is destroying an average 2.6 million hectares a year, compared with one million in the early 1970s. And an upcoming U.S.-Russian-Canadian scientific paper points to links between warming and wildfires in Siberia, where 2006 already qualifies as an extreme fire season, sixth in the past eight years. Far to the south in drought-stricken Australia, meanwhile, 2005 was the hottest year on record, and the dangerous bush fire season is growing longer.

micki, i saw this on-campus competition and thought you'd enjoy seeing these Energy Conservation Tips,
Do it in the Dark

Climatologists describe global warming as a worldwide rise in temperatures caused by the buildup of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gasses thought to trap heat in the atmosphere. Predictions of global warming's effects include rising sea levels, fiercer storms, more wildfires and warmer oceans.
Without long-term data, scientists have so far found it difficult to make direct links between specific natural events and global warming.

But the Farallones present a special case. Researchers have kept Cassin's auklet counts there every day since 1967. Never before have they seen such a drop-off in numbers. That decline comes as California ocean temperatures hover three to five degrees above average.

"One of the things that the climate models predict is that we're going to have unpredictable weather, extreme weather, that the whole seasonal cycle of events will not be what we expect," said Bill Peterson, a NOAA oceanographer in Newport, Ore. "We aren't seeing normal patterns."

Perhaps nowhere is this ecological disruption felt more than here on the Farallones, a 200-acre island chain often described as California's Galapagos. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service keeps the national wildlife refuge closed to visitors except for a small group of scientists and volunteers who live there year-round.

China's Ballistic Missile Update - 2004

The transfer of sensitive technology to China is also conducted by individuals– often Chinese nationals– living and working in the United States, as well as US-based companies with ties to the Chinese military. In 1998, Means Come Enterprises, a Florida company run by two Chinese nationals, was investigated for exporting to China several thousand radiation-protected computer chips, devices that can be used in ballistic missiles and other weapon systems.
=========================
The "Means Come" prosecution came up in volume 9, but I'm linking here to volume 11 because it shows it was an individual small company that was prosecuted, and considered minor compared to the big U.S. companies (prolly with daddy bush's ok) earlier, late 80's - early 90's technology transfers. Here, I'll quote some more...
=========================
China's ballistic missile program has received outside assistance from a variety of sources. A 1999 report by the United States House of Representatives Select Committee on U.S. National Security and Military/Commercial Concerns with the People's Republic of China found that information supplied by several U.S. firms to China intended to improve the reliability of its space launch vehicles could also be used to improve China's ballistic missiles. A number of well-known U.S. defense and aerospace firms were convicted of transferring data and technology to China in violation of U.S. export control laws. In 2003, Hughes Electronics Corporation and Boeing Satellite Systems, for example, were forced to pay $32 million in penalties for 123 such violations during the 1990s, while Loral Space and Communications Corporation and Lockheed Martin Corporation received fines of $20 million and $13 million, respectively. In June 2000, Lockheed Martin was also fined for supplying China kick motor technology in 1994 that could help position satellites in orbit.
--
These efforts have been spurred by China's recent advances in nuclear warhead design, which may have benefitted greatly from leaked information on U.S. warheads. A series of nuclear tests conducted from 1992 to 1996 showed that China was capable of building small, light warheads that could be MIRVed or deployed on mobile missiles. As a result, the number of warheads capable of hitting the United States may be increasing more rapidly than the rate at which new missiles are being deployed.
====================
Note that they were already testing the technology from daddy bush's reign when Clinton took office.
LBH needs to change his initials. Weren't they 'sposed to mean "let's be honest"? LMAO
More like "lying bilge head". haha

yikes, looks like I forgot an ending bold tag way upstream

What We Do

In 1988, the Project revealed that a West German trader's illicit sales to India, South Africa and other countries were violating Germany's pledges under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. The revelations broadcast on CBS 60 Minutes, in the New York Times and in the German media contributed directly to Germany's decision to tighten its export laws.

In April 1990, the Project revealed in the Washington Post that the U.S. Commerce Department planned to approve the sale of American supercomputers to buyers in Brazil, India and Israel who were designing nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles. After the Project repeatedly criticized the sales publicly, none was finally approved.

In July 1990, the Project revealed in the Washington Post that the Western countries were dropping export controls on items that Iraq was using to build nuclear weapons and missiles. The Project's revelations triggered steps by the United States and its allies to recontrol many of the items that the Project warned should not be dropped.

In 1991, the Project revealed that the U.S. Commerce Department had licensed millions of dollars' worth of sensitive equipment to Iraqi builders of nuclear weapons, chemical weapons and long-range missiles. By working with Congress, the Project pressured the Commerce Department to release the export records which increased public pressure for tighter U.S. controls.

The spirit of resistance

[..]

For Hezbollah - as well as for Hamas - "winning" means not being disarmed and/or exterminated, the avowed goal of the State of Israel. Apart from Mao Zedong in China and Ho Chi Minh in Vietnam, Hezbollah may have also learned a lesson or two from the battlefields of Chechnya - as it configures itself, like the Chechens, as one of the only guerrilla groups in the world capable of facing an extremely powerful state army.

In Iraq, Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani was forced to issue a fatwa denouncing the Israeli assault. This means that Sistani knows very well Iraqi Shi'ites may be on the verge of turning all their anger against - who else - the occupying Anglo-American axis.

The fatwa may not be enough to appease them. Israel's rampage has even unified Baghdad's parliament; Sunnis, Shi'ites and Kurds took a unanimous vote condemning Israel and calling for a ceasefire. Fiery nationalist Muqtada al-Sadr, whose rising influence rivals Sistani's in US President George W Bush's "democratic" Iraq, hinted what may happen when he said at his Friday sermon in Kufa, "I will continue defending my Shi'ite and Sunni brothers, and I tell them that if we unite, we will defeat Israel without the use of weapons."

As if the few thousand Sunni Arab guerrillas bogging down the mightiest army in history were not enough, Muqtada's Mehdi Army has all the potential to make life even more hellish for the Americans in Iraq.
