17.Oct.2004 The Dominators dream of empire.
Not only will it extend their temporal power, they believe it will also give them immortality. One of Dominators chief gurus, Reaganite firebreather Ledeen, Michael says that if the Dominators reject "clever diplomacy" + "just wage total war" to subjugate the Middle East, "our children will sing great songs about us years from now." This madness, this bin Laden-like megalomania, is now driving the hijacked USA republic - + the world - to murderous upheaval. It's all there in the text, set down in black + white.

29.Sep.2002 Global Eye - Dark Passage By Chris Floyd 00.000.1925-17.Oct.2004 -Not since- "Mein Kampf" has a geopolitical punch been so blatantly telegraphed, years ahead of the blow. 00.000.1925 -long before Hitler, Adolf ever assumed power- in his book, clearly PROPAGATED spelled out his plans to destroy the Jews + launch wars of conquest „to secure German domination of world affairs“. Despite the zigzags of rhetoric Hitler, Adolf later employed, the various PR spins + temporary justifications offered for this or that particular policy, any attentive reader of Hitler, Adolf vile regurgitation could have divined Hitler, Adolf intentions as he drove Germany + the world - to murderous upheaval. Similarly - in method, if not entirely in substance - the Bush Regime's foreign policy is also being carried out according to a strict blueprint written years ago, then renewed a few months before the Regime was installed in power by the judicial coup of 00.Dec.2000. The first version, mentioned in passing here last week, was drafted by a team operating under then-Defense Secretary Dick Cheney in 1992. The first version, set out a new doctrine for U.S. power in the 21st century, an aggressive, unilateral approach that would secure USA domination of world affairs - "by force if necessary," as one of the acolytes put it. 00.000.1992 -after-When the Dominators were temporarily ousted from government, they continued their strategic planning with funding from the military-energy-security apparatus + right-wing foundations. This culminated in a new group, the aptly-named Project for a New American Century (PNAC). Members included hard-right players like Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz, Zalmay Khalilzad (now "special envoy" to the satrapy of Afghanistan) + other empire aspirants currently perched in the upper reaches of government power. 00.Sep.2000 PNAC updated the original Cheney plan in a published report, "Strengthening America's Defenses." In this + related documents, the earlier precepts were reiterated + refined. The plans called for unprecedented hikes in military spending + the plantation of USA bases in Central Asia + the Middle East + the toppling of recalcitrant regimes + the militarization of outer space + the abrogation of international treaties + the willingness to use nuclear weapons + control of the world's energy resources. + the present course of action was clearly set forth: "The USA has for decades sought to play a more permanent role in Gulf regional security. While the unresolved conflict with Iraq provides the immediate justification, the need for a substantial USA force presence in the Gulf transcends the issue of the regime of Saddam Hussein." 29.Sep.2002 Cambone, Stephen Political science doctorate from Claremont Graduate School.

29.Sep.2002 Rumsfeld and Kagan believe that a successful war against Iraq will produce other benefits, such as serving an object lesson for nations such as Iran and Syria. Rumsfeld, as befits his sensitive position, puts it rather gently. If a regime change were to take place in Iraq, other nations pursuing weapons of mass destruction "would get the message that having them . . . is attracting attention that is not favorable and is not helpful," he says. Kagan is more blunt. "People worry a lot about how the Arab street is going to react," he notes. "Well, I see that the Arab street has gotten very, very quiet since we started blowing things up." URL: https://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article2319.htm
29.Sep.2002 Kagan, Donald a professor of classical Greek history at Yale + an influential advocate of a more aggressive foreign policy - Kagan, Donald served as co-chairman of the 2000 New Century project -- acknowledges that likelihood. "If [our allies] want a free ride + they probably will, we can't stop that," he says. But he also argues that the USA, given its unique position, has no choice but to act anyway. "You saw the movie 'High Noon'? he asks. "We're Gary Cooper." URL: https://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article2319.htm
The 2000 report directly acknowledges its debt to a still earlier document, drafted in 1992 by the Defense Department. That document had also envisioned the United States as a colossus astride the world, imposing its will + keeping world peace through military and economic power. When leaked in final draft form, however, the proposal drew so much criticism that it was hastily withdrawn and repudiated by the first President Bush. Effect on allies The defense secretary in 1992 was Richard Cheney; the document was drafted by Wolfowitz, who at the time was defense undersecretary for policy. The potential implications of a Pax Americana are immense. URL: https://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article2319.htm
29.Sep.2002 That close tracking of recommendation with current policy is hardly surprising, given the current positions of the people who contributed to the 2000 report. Paul Wolfowitz is now deputy defense secretary. John Bolton is undersecretary of state. Stephen Cambone is head of the Pentagon's Office of Program, Analysis and Evaluation. Eliot Cohen and Devon Cross are members of the Defense Policy Board, which advises Rumsfeld. I. Lewis Libby is chief of staff to Vice President Dick Cheney.

29.Sep.2002 The United States will require bases and stations within and beyond Western Europe and Northeast Asia," the document warns, "as well as temporary access arrangements for the long-distance deployment of U.S. troops." The report's repeated references to terrorism are misleading, however, because the approach of the new National Security Strategy was clearly not inspired by the events of 1.Sep.2001 . They can be found in much the same language in a report issued in 00.Sep.2000 by the Project for the New American Century, a group of conservative interventionists outraged by the thought that the United States might be forfeiting its chance at a global empire. "At no time in history has the international security order been as conducive to American interests + ideals," the report said. Stated -29.Sep.2002-two years ago.- "The challenge of this coming century is to preserve ü enhance this 'American peace.' " URL: https://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article2319.htm
29.Sep.2002 the National Security Strategy, a document in which each administration outlines its approach to defending the country. The Bush administration plan, released 20.Sep.2001 marks a significant departure from previous approaches, a change that it attributes largely to the attacks of 11.Sep.2001 . To address the terrorism threat, the president's report lays out a newly aggressive military + foreign policy, embracing pre-emptive attack against perceived enemies. It speaks in blunt terms of what it calls "American internationalism," of ignoring international opinion if that suits U.S. interests. "The best defense is a good offense," the document asserts. It dismisses deterrence as a Cold War relic + instead talks of "convincing or compelling states to accept their sovereign responsibilities."

Rauch + Spiegel https://alfatomega.com/noname07.html Bernays' Aufgabe war, Angelegenheiten zurechtzurücken ; ein gewünschtes Bild zu erschaffen, welches ein bestimmtes Produkt oder Konzept in ein angenehmes Licht rückt. Bernays beschrieb die Öffentlichkeit als eine 'Herde, die geführt werden muß'. Und dieses herdenhafte Denken mache die Leute "empfänglich für Führung". Bernays wich nie von seinem fundamentalem Axiom ab, "die Massen ohne ihr Wissen zu kontrollieren". Die beste PR ist, wenn die Leute nicht bemerken, wie sie beeinflußt werden. Stauber beschrieb Bernays' Begründung wie folgt: "Die wissenschaftliche Manipulation der Öffentlichen Meinung Propaganda war notwendig, um Chaos + Konflikt in einer demokratischen Gesellschaft zu überwinden."(Trust Us, S.42) Diese frühen Massenbeeinflusser posierten, als würden sie einen moralischen Dienst für die allgemeine Menschheit leisten - Demokratie ist zu gut für das Volk; man muß ihnen sagen, was sie denken sollen , weil sie von sich aus nicht zu rationalem Denken fähig seien. Hier ein Auszug aus Bernays Propaganda : "Wer die ungesehenen Gesellschaftsmechanismen manipuliert, bildet eine unsichtbare Regierung, welche die wahre Herschermacht unseres Landes ist. Wir werden regiert, unser Verstand geformt, unsere Geschmäcker gebildet, unsere Ideen größtenteils von Männern suggeriert, von denen wir nie gehört haben. Dies ist ein logisches Ergebnis der Art wie unsere demokratische Gesellschaft organisiert ist. Große Menschenzahlen müssen auf diese Weise kooperieren, wenn sie in einer ausgeglichen funktionierenden Gesellschaft zusammenleben sollen. In beinahe jeder Handlung unseres Lebens, ob in der Sphäre der Politik oder bei Geschäften, in unserem sozialen Verhalten + unserem ethischen Denken werden wir durch eine relativ geringe Zahl an Personen dominiert, welche die mentalen Prozesse + Verhaltensmuster der Massen verstehen. Sie sind es, die die Fäden ziehen, welche das Öffentliche Denken kontrollieren." Eine etwas andere Ansicht zum Thema von Thomas Jefferson: "Ich kenne keinen sichereren Treuhänder der ultimaten Macht der Gesellschaft als das Volk an sich; und wenn wir sie nicht für erleuchtet genug halten, diese Kontrolle mit wohlwollender Umsicht durchzuführen, dann ist die Abhilfe nicht, sie ihnen wegzunehmen, sondern ihre Umsicht zu prägen." Ihre Umsicht prägen. Bernays glaubte, daß nur einige wenige den nötigen Einblick in das Gesamtbild haben, um mit dieser heiligen Aufgabe betraut zu werden. Und ganz zufällig hielt er sich für einen der wenigen. Bernays, Edward L. War der NEFFE von FREUD, SIGISMUND SCHLOMEL URL: https://www.emperors-clothes.com/

17.Oct.2004 Sinclair Broadcasting, the largest owner of local television stations in the US, ordered its 62 stations to preempt regular programming to air an anti-Kerry documentary just a few days before the election. Sinclair's mission is clear: sway the election in favor of an administration that lets companies like Sinclair get even bigger. It's great for Sinclair's bottom line — terrible for our democracy. This is not about 'liberal' or 'conservative.' It's about corruption, the threat to democratic discourse + the manipulation of elections. Together, we can stop them.

17.Oct.2004 Will Bush's health become an issue? If you hoped that "Promptergate" would turn the electorate against Bush to any significant degree, you lived in a fool's paradise. The Rovian forces simply kept their smirks frozen in place, dusted off all those hoary jokes about tin foil hats + stood their ground until the controversy blew over.
Which, to a large degree, it has.
True, Salon did a terrific piece offering up some genuine evidence in favor of the thesis. But I doubt that any major press organs will follow up; attention is turning elsewhere. The Bush forces successfully toughed this one out.
Can any story turn this election around? Yes. URL: https://cannonfire.blogspot.com/ 17.Oct.2004 UN weapons inspectors were preparing to return to Iraq after a gap of four years, but they would do so against the background of a government intelligence dossier, published a few weeks earlier, which painted a blood-curdling picture of a dictator ready not only to use his weapons of mass destruction, but to share them with terrorists.
In the Middle East, the US was fast building up its forces. Britain, despite the threat of a firefighters' strike which might require troops to operate "Green Goddess" fire engines, was making its own deployments. And British and American aircraft supposedly patrolling the "no-fly" zones over northern and southern Iraq were in fact staging daily bombing raids, aimed at the systematic destruction of the regime's air defences.
The experts were not there to talk Tony Blair out of invading Iraq. "It was made clear to me beforehand that we could not talk about the advisability of war, only about what the aftermath might be," said Professor George Joffe, of King's College London and Cambridge University's Centre of International Studies. The Downing Street meeting "was not a lobbying exercise against an invasion", said Sir Lawrence Freedman, professor of war studies at King's College, at whose initiative it was held.
Dr Toby Dodge of London University's Queen Mary College, had just returned from a visit to Baghdad. "Our basic message was that if you choose to invade, it will be much, much more difficult than you may have been led to believe," he said. "I thought an invasion was a really bad idea."article7092.htm
17.Oct.2004 Revealed: the meeting that could have changed the history of Iraq
00.Nov.2002 -When six of UK leading experts on Iraq went to Downing Street, they sought to warn Tony Blair about the dangerous consequences of his actions. In this extraordinary account of that meeting, they reveal for the first time their shock at his response, offering a unique insight into the mind of a Prime Minister determined upon war
By Alan George, Raymond Whitaker and Andy McSmith 10/17/04 "The Independent" - 00.Nov.2002 They felt it was their duty. Six of Britain's leading experts on Iraq trooped into No 10 Downing Street on a Tuesday afternoon in November 2002, determined to warn Tony Blair that occupying the country would be difficult at best + catastrophic at worst. By the time they left, most were convinced that war was inevitable - + in the view of one at least, that there was nothing the Prime Minister could do about it.
17.Oct.2004 00.Nov.2002 -Nearly two years later- UK Prime Minister is caught in a similar bind. He would like to stop talking about the Iraq war, to focus public attention on domestic policy. But he + his advisers have had to admit to one another that the issue just will not go away. article7092.htm

17.Oct.2004 Revealed: The meeting that could have changed the history of Iraq: When six of the country's leading experts on Iraq went to Downing Street in November 2002 , they sought to warn Tony Blair about the dangerous consequences of his actions. In this extraordinary account of that meeting, they reveal for the first time their shock at his response, offering a unique insight into the mind of a Prime Minister determined upon war article7087.htm
17.Oct.2004 They are comprised of clever and intelligent men with an understanding of patience and the long-term benefits of history. Unlike those in the Oval Office, those “living in caves” envision the larger context of humanity and our history. To underestimate them is to make a grave mistake. article7087.htm
17.Oct.2004 Osama has succeeded in franchising Al-Qaeda throughout the world. America has played right into his hands through the foolish ignorance of the Bush administration. Now, Al-Qaeda has branched off, inspiring thousands of new recruits spread out throughout the world that continue to be assembled faster than they are killed. Bush’s war has created hundreds of new bin Laden’s eager to punish America for its continued subjugation of Muslims. The assembly line Henry Ford invented Bush has, through his dim-witted sojourn into Iraq, allowed to flourish in the hands of purveyors of violence. article7087.htm
17.Oct.2004 Hatred of America is at an all time high. Thousands of jihadists have been created, ready to die in holy war against the Great Satan. Bush has succeeded in employing more “terrorists” than American workers. Winning hearts and minds has failed throughout a Muslim world that sees an American Crusade to conquer, pilfer, rape and humiliate. The war in Iraq has allowed terror to sprout and thrive throughout the lands of the western world.
The Iraq war was unleashed to satisfy the ignoble loathing Bush and the neocons had for Saddam, to quench the thirst of the military-industrial complex and the energy industry and to put into place a new era of market colonialism with the Middle East subservient to America and deferential to Israel. Genuflecting and penitent the Arab world is expected to become, allowing one more time the Infiltration into their lands of Western Judeo-Christian ideology and armies intent on pilfering all black gold the Arabian lands possess. article7087.htm
17.Oct.2004 War of Error
As Paul O’Neill and Richard Clarke have made clear, the Bush administration was never seriously concerned with Al-Qaeda, even with multiple warnings about its dangers. Instead, upon squirming into the Oval Office, Bush began concentrating on Iraq and Saddam Hussein. Meanwhile, others began to unilaterally dislodge the US from numerous world protocols, treaties, institutions and conventions. Missile defense was given priority, as was the entire spectrum of scorched earth and polluting industries. Yet Al-Qaeda was placed in the back burner, of little concern to an administration intent on catering to its corporate masters. article7087.htm
17.Oct.2004 Today, everything evil done in our name is excused as being done in the noble name of the war on terror. After all, war is peace. Yet also extremely profitable, which is why the War of Error will last years, perhaps decades into our future. article7087.htm
17.Oct.2004 Enemies are the American government’s best friend, for they help expand the economy, curtail the population and enrich the oligarchs. It is, therefore, natural that with the implosion of the evil communists a new, more sinister and wicked enemy arise from the ashes of human wickedness to scare the living daylights out of average Americans ignorant to the manipulation of their primitive emotions. article7087.htm
17.Oct.2004 It is a product of an administration limited in knowledge and vision, common sense and history, understanding of culture and empathy for humankind. It was begun by a Commander in Chief possessing inalienable limitations of grey matter, incurious and unlearned of both people and planet, born into royalty lacking understanding of how billions see the world and with a myopic vision of delusion, fantasy and religious weak-mindedness. Throughout history easier battles and smaller wars have been lost by more able men. article7087.htm
17.Oct.2004 Created to enrich and empower oligarchs and corporations, the War of Error subjugates us and sends us spiraling back to times of feudalism and religious intimidation and trepidation. We are put at the mercy of the powerful that become more powerful the more they spawn fear into our conscious. Witness the gradual evisceration of American civil liberties and the increased power over our lives now prevalent in government. article7087.htm
17.Oct.2004 The War of Error fails to understand the other side, or to confront it. 9/11 was a manifestation of frustrations and hatreds that had been boiling for years. It was a massive demonstration of resistance, targeting the two most repressive symbols of American power gone awry. This truth is a reality 280 million Americans have not been made privy to. It is truth hidden in fictions and manipulation, carefully orchestrated to make captive and ignorant those living within the belly of the beast. Why is it that the world’s view and opinion of reality is so vastly different than those who are enveloped by airwaves transmitting an umbrella of distortions and deceptions from Atlantic to Pacific Oceans? It couldn’t be the altered state of world reality Americans are bombarded with, can it? Certainly it isn’t the escaping of fact for fear of uncovering the evils done in our name, right? Living in and experiencing heaven on Earth is certainly better than seeing how American excessiveness, capitalism, consumerism, greed, individualism and materialism have condemned most of the world to hell. article7087.htm
17.Oct.2004 Symptoms of the Disease
The War of Error is being waged by nefarious Cold War mentalities espousing modern exploitive criminal capitalism using fervent psychologically corrosive fear-mongering to control populations and assure power through the perpetual shedding of blood. A war without necessity has become a war without end. A war of illegality has become a war of resistance. article7087.htm
17.Oct.2004 Pushed forward by those wishing to fight Israel’s enemies using American financial and military might, the Iraq war was born in dogmatic democratic delusion, historical and cultural ignorance and in criminal apathy for the over 600 American soldiers sent to die for causes having nothing to do with fighting for freedom or democracy or for fighting terror.
Thus was born the War of Error, a war unlike all others, self-defeating and perpetual, that instead of solving problems has and will continue to exacerbate them. Thus was born a War of Proxy, of Greed, Deceit, Criminality and Stupidity. A war not of necessity but of choice; a war that only enraged an already burning world opinion resulting from America’s continual devastation of people’s life, health, opportunity, ability and freedom through the incessant mechanisms of oppression and exploitation arising out of the debilitating forays into global empire building. article7087.htm
17.Oct.2004 True, 9/11 had yet to happen, but already fixations with Saddam Hussein were metastasizing throughout the self-righteous Bush administration. 9/11, more than anything else, became, politically, the perfect excuse needed to drag America into a war that had already been preordained by those with axes to grind, scores to settle, empires to expand and profits to make. article7087.htm

17.Oct.2004 Offensichtlich schlagen im Menschen nicht nur zwei Herzen, in seinem Gehirn arbeiten auch zwei völlig unabhängige Netzwerke, wie US-Forscher nun im Fachmagazin "Science" berichten. URL: https://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article7083.htm
17.Oct.2004 Let us be honest: the “War on Terror” in America is basically a sham, a charade. While great, even ultimate sacrifices have been demanded of relatively few, chiefly those in the armed forces, for the overwhelming majority of Americans having the country at war has meant massive tax cuts, exhortations to spend and consume, enormous deficits, politics and government spending as usual—in short, no wartime sacrifice at all. The rest of the world knows this and sees the hypocrisy, if we do not. URL: https://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article7083.htm
17.Oct.2004 America’s government, institutions, and civil society were rock solid. It had no homegrown terrorist organizations to fear or ethnic and religious differences for terrorists to exploit. Its relatively small Muslim population was well integrated and overwhelmingly loyal to the United States, thankful for its blessings and freedoms. URL: https://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article7083.htm
17.Oct.2004 The only sensible answer, once the foolish and inadequate ones are discarded, is that Osama bin Laden anticipated the American reaction and wanted it. His purpose in attacking the United States directly in its homeland was to get the American government to do what it had not done in response to his previous attacks: to declare an all-out war against him and al-Qaeda and a worldwide War on Terror led and organized by the United States, with every other country in the world summoned to follow and support or be considered an enemy. That seems to deepen the puzzle. Why thus deliberately multiply the ranks of his enemies and organize their efforts under the leadership of a single, powerful, aroused country?
The answer, if one thinks about it free from emotion and preoccupation with oneself, is clear. Deliberately provoking the United States into open, declared war against him, his forces, radical Islamism + worldwide terrorism was bin Laden’s way of expanding a struggle he was already waging but losing, one he could not win on account of its insoluble contradictions, into a larger war free from internal contradictions that he could hope ultimately to win. To put it in a nutshell, Osama bin Laden needed the United States as a declared enemy to enable him to win his war against his primary enemies and thus achieve his goals. URL: https://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article7083.htm
17.Oct.2004 A revolutionary or terrorist movement has much to gain from getting a real government to declare war upon it. This gives the movement considerable status, putting it in some sense in the same league with the government with which it is now recognized as at war. No sensible government wishes to give such quasi-legitimacy to a movement it is trying to stamp out. Consider Napoleon’s treatment of the insurrection in Spain from 1808 to 1813. The insurgents had powerful claims to belligerent status and even legitimacy. They maintained a government in a small corner of Spain, represented the former legitimate Bourbon government Napoleon had overthrown, included the regular Spanish army + were supported and recognized by a major power, Great Britain. But Napoleon always insisted they were nothing but brigands, used this designation as justification for the brutal campaign he waged against them, and acknowledged a state of war with them only when, defeated in Spain and on other fronts, he decided to cut his losses, evacuate Spain + make peace with them and the Bourbon regime. URL: https://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article7083.htm
17.Oct.2004 If bin Laden and al-Qaeda declared war on the United States and committed unmistakable acts of war against it, then obviously the U.S. had no choice but to declare war in reply, just as it had to do so against Japan after Pearl Harbor.
No, not really. Some other obvious facts also need consideration. First, states frequently wage real, serious wars of the conventional sort against other states without declaring war or putting their countries on a war footing. In the latter 20th century, this practice became the rule rather than the exception. Korea and Vietnam are only two of many examples. Second, revolutionary and terrorist organizations and movements have for centuries declared war on the governments or societies they wished to subvert and overthrow. Yet even while fighting them ruthlessly, states rarely made formal declarations of war against such movements. Instead, they treated these groups as criminals, revolutionaries, rebels, or tools of a hostile foreign power, not as organizations against which a recognized legitimate government declares and wages war.
25.Oct.2004 American Conservative – issue- The War Bin Laden Wanted - How the U.S. played into the terrorist’s plan- George W. Bush’s re-election campaign rests on three claims, distinct but always run together: that the USA is at war against terror, that it is winning the war + that it can ultimately achieve victory but only under his leadership.
The second and third propositions are hotly debated. Critics of Bush contend that the U.S. is losing the struggle against terror on the most important fronts and that only new leadership can bring victory, but except for a few radicals, no one denies that the struggle against international terrorism in general and groups like al-Qaeda in particular constitutes a real war. The question comes up in the campaign only when Republicans such as Vice President Cheney charge that Democrats view terrorists as mere criminals and do not recognize that the country is at war. The charge, though false—no Democratic leader would commit political suicide by even hinting this—is effective politically.
Some experts on international law and foreign policy object to calling the struggle against terrorism a war, pointing for example to the legal problem of whether under international law a state can declare war on a non-state movement and claim the rights of war, or arguing that terrorism constitutes a tactic and that no one declares war against a tactic. Both arguments indicate the sloppy thinking that pervades the rhetoric of the War on Terror. The first point, moreover, has important practical consequences for such questions as the treatment of detainees at Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo Bay + elsewhere + for our relations with allies, other states + the UN. Yet these kinds of arguments seem too academic to matter. The general public can hardly understand them, much less let them influence their votes.
Other reasons, however—different, more powerful, highly practical + astonishingly overlooked—argue against conceiving of the struggle as a war and, more important still, waging it as such. The reasons and the logic behind them are somewhat complicated, but the overall conclusion is simple: by conceiving of the struggle against international terrorism as a war, loudly proclaiming it as such + waging it as one, we have given our enemies the war they wanted and aimed to provoke but could not get unless the United States gave it to them.

"Wo Amphibien vorangehen, könnten andere folgen, vielleicht auch wir." Mit ihrer durchlässigen Haut seien Amphibien ein besonders sensibler Indikator für Umweltgefahren.
Die Studie von mehr als 500 Forschern aus über 60 Ländern, die heute in der Online-Ausgabe des US-Fachblattes "Science" erschienen ist, nennt beunruhigende Zahlen. Demnach sind 1856 Amphibienarten akut vom Aussterben bedroht. Sie machen knapp ein Drittel aller bekannten Amphibienarten aus. Bei Säugetieren beträgt der Anteil der bedrohten Arten 23 %, bei Vögeln 12 %.
Frösche, Kröten und Salamander sterben derzeit weltweit rasch aus - oft aus rätselhaften Gründen. Bei fast der Hälfte der 435 am stärksten bedrohten Arten ist die Ursache des Sterbens nicht bekannt, betont die World Conservation Union. 43 % aller bekannten 5743 Amphibienarten befinden sich im Niedergang + verschwinden sogar in Schutzgebieten.

16.Oct.2004 One of his main points is that the USA administration helped 142 Saudis including two dozen members of bin Laden's family fly out of the USA 11.Sep.2001 -two days after the attacks, even though commercial air space was closed. "That's false + can be verified by anyone," said the Saudi-born Binladin, who intentionally spells his name differently from Osama, the prime suspect in the 11.Sep.2001 attacks. "They benefited from no exceptional authorization to leave USA territory."

He was sure that they were not, as some have claimed, the "stress outlet" or other spontaneous recreational ideas of young soldiers from West Virginia. Instead, he said, they were the outgrowth of a massive manhunt for information, any information, about first Al Qaida, the Taliban, + then the Iraqi insurgency: 00.Dec.2001 -since- My USA government has a secret unit that has been disappearing people just like the Brazilians + the Argentineans did. 11.Sep.2001 after Rumsfeld decided that he could not wait. The president signed a secret document…There's a team of people, they fly in unmarked planes, they fly in Gulfstreams, they have their own choppers, they don't carry USA passports, and they just grab people. And maybe in the beginning I can understand there was some rationale. 11.Sep.2001 -Right after- we were frightened, we didn't know what to do … The original idea behind the sexually humiliating photos taken at Abu Ghraib, Hersh said he had heard, was to use them as blackmail so that the newly released prisoners — many of whom were ordinary Iraqi thieves or even civilian bystanders rounded up in dragnets — would act as informants. "We operate on guilt, [Muslims] operate on shame," Hersh explained. "The idea of photographing an Arab man naked and having him simulate homosexual activity + having an USA GI woman in the photographs, is the end of society in their eyes." video1021.htm 16.Oct.2004 Enter the utopians "I think it's real simple to say Bush [BGW968] is a liar. But that would also suggest there was a reality that he understood," explained Hersh. "I'm serious. It is funny in sort of a sick, black humor sort of way, but the real serious problem is, he believes what he's doing." In effect, Bush [BGW968] , Dick Cheney, Paul Wolfowitz, + the other neocons are "idealists, you can call them utopians." As Hersh understands them, they really believe that the solution to global terrorism began with invading Baghdad and will end only with the transformation of the last unfriendly government in the Middle East into a democracy. "No amount of body bags is going to dissuade Bush [BGW968] ," said Hersh, despite the fact that Hersh's sources say the war in Iraq is "not winnable. It's over." As for Kerry [KJF966] 's war plans, Hersh said he wished he could tell him to stop talking as if the senator's plan for Iraq could somehow still eke out a victory there. "This is a disaster that's been going on. It's a civil war, the insurgency. There is no 'win' anymore in this war," he argued. "As somebody said, 'We're playing chess, they're playing Go.'" video1021.htm 16.Oct.2004 US diplomats baulk at Jewish bill: The US State Department has raised objections to a bill approved by Congress that would require it to set up an office on anti-Semitism. 16.Oct.2004 Bob Barr: An agonizing choice : Conservatives have plenty of cause to abandon Bush [BGW968] 16.Oct.2004 In 2004 Florida, Lawsuits Begin Before Election: Not a single ballot has been counted in the presidential election, yet Florida is already teeming with lawsuits charging the state + its county elections supervisors with voter disenfranchisement, a legal muddle likely to grow worse 02.Nov2004 -before Election Day-. 16.Oct.2004 Top USA advisers to address AIPAC meet : USA National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice + Richard Holbrooke, chief foreign policy adviser to Democratic presidential candidate Kerry [KJF966] , will address an USA Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) conference in Florida next weekend. 16.Oct.2004 Democrats Target Iran: Barak O-Bomb-a?: Kerry [KJF966] 's antiwar supporters have repeatedly warned that a military attack on Iran is imminent if Bush [BGW968] is reelected.
