00.Sep.1980-00.Dez.1980http://www.ibka.org/ir/385f.html Westeuropa BRD

00.000.1980 -Ende- ist die innerkirchliche Auseinandersetzung zwischen katholischen Hierarchen + sozial- + gesellschaftspolitisch engagierten Theologen ist in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland in ein neues Stadium getreten:

25.Sep.1980 Mit ungewöhnlicher Schärfe attackierte der Theologieprofessor Nikolaus Koch (Witten/Ruhr) den Vorsitzenden der westdeutschen Bischofskonferenz, Josef Höffner + seine Amtsbrüder in zwei offenen Briefen

"Wenn Sie aus Ihrem klerikalen Muckertum nicht in offene Freiheit christlichen Glaubens finden + den christlichen Namen noch länger für dieses Muckertum mißbrauchen, blockieren Sie sich + Ihren Hörigen wirksames christliches Engagement in der Welt.

Sie machen sich mitschuldig am drohenden Holocaust von 100, 200, 500 + 1000 Millionen Kindern + Frauen + Männern...

Sollte sich der Verdacht erhärten, daß Sie den Papst in Tendenzen zu einem klerikalen Europa bestärken, so werde ich das mir Mögliche tun, die lebensgefährlichen Folgen politischen Wahns abwenden zu helfen."

01.Dez.1980 Das zweite Schreiben des couragierten Theologieprofessors trägt den Titel: "Gegen die antirevolutionäre Mißdeutung des christlichen Glaubens".
-
Dem Vorsitzenden der westdeutschen Bischofskonferenz, Höffner, bescheinigt Koch:

"Sie spielen sich auf, als seien Sie 'die Kirche', als sei Ihr Hirtentheater 'der christliche Glaube', als seien Ihre mittelalterlich-barocken Kuriositäten 'das Heil der Welt'.

Sie scheinen blind für den Abgrund zu sein, der Ihr Kirchspiel von den realen Aufgaben + Chancen christlichen Glaubens in der sich zum Untergang rüstenden Welt scheidet.

Sie scheinen den Blutpreis nicht zu kennen, den Katholiken + Nichtkatholiken zu zahlen haben, wenn Ihr Spiel noch lange währt.

Und bisher haben Sie demonstriert, daß Sie Ihr Theater weiterspielen wollen, solange die Bühne hält."

Nikolaus Koch fährt fort:

"Das allgemeine Unbehagen wächst weiter.

Es wird zum Bruch führen, wenn Sie nicht endlich aufhören, den christlichen Glauben mit dem Mittelalter zu verwechseln...

Am heraufziehenden Holocaust von 500 Millionen oder 1000 Millionen Kindern + Frauen + Männern werden Staatsverschuldung, Antipillenfanatismus + kirchlicher Ruf nach Gefängnis für Frauen, die ihre Schwangerschaft abbrechen, zu Randfragen.

Sie + Ihre Mitbischöfe sollten sich besser um Ihre Mitschuld am drohenden Holocaust kümmern.

Noch immer schwärt die Politik weiter, mit der Pius XII. die ganze antisozialistische Welt zum Vernichtungskrieg gegen die Sowjetunion [antibolschewistische Front] zu verleiten suchte.

Noch immer sind die klerikalen Perversionen nicht aufgearbeitet, die der päpstliche Intimus Gustav Gundlach vor 20 Jahren dem Clerus major, dem Clerus minor + allen Schafen der Bundesrepublik unwidersprochen zuzumuten wagte: klerikale Gutheißung atomarer Weltzerstörung, klerikale Gleichsetzung christlicher Gewaltlosigkeit + Liebe mit Ohnmacht,

klerikale Verabsolutierung mittelalterlicher Rechtsordnung, klerikales festhalten an Militärtheologie im Dienste etablierter Gewalt...

Für wie schafsmäßig müssen Sie die Schafe innerhalb + außerhalb des Kirchenzauns halten, wenn Sie so tun, als gebe es eine selbstverständliche + eindeutige 'kirchliche Soziallehre'.

Wenn die französische Revolution den Clerus major nicht aus dem barocken Faulbett herausgeworfen hätte + wenn die sozialistische Weltbewegung den Kirchenapparat nicht in Konkurrenznot gebracht hätte, würden wohl auch heute noch die klerikalen Ladenhüter des Mittelalters + der Barockzeit die 'kirchliche Soziallehre' ausmachen."

In diesem Zusammenhang erwähnt Koch die

00.000.1980 -im Herbst- Verleihung des vatikanischen Gregoriusordensan Otto von Habsburg:

"Die vatikanische Auszeichnung ist mehr als eine kuriose Erinnerung an vergangene Zeiten.

Im Zusammenhang mit manchen verwandten Aktivitäten dient sie dem Wahn eines klerikalen Europa,

das zwischen der Sowjetunion + den USA unabhängig das Mittelalter als christliche Gemeinschaft der Völker in der naturrechtlich-göttlichen Tradition des heiligen römischen Reiches restauriert.

Ausgesprochen + diplomatisch verdeckt lebt dieser Wahn in zahlreichen Publikationen + Demonstrationen klerikaler Einzelner, klerikaler Organisationen + klerikaler Parteiungen.

Unter dem Titel 'Vatikan + Habsburg - Weichensteller der Reaktion' dokumentiert ihn das Heft 3/80 der Zeitschrift Materialien und Informationen zur Zeit.

Der Umstand, daß die Zeitschrift sich 'Politisches Journal der Konfessionslosen und Atheisten' nennt, sollte niemand abhalten, die Angaben zu lesen + zu prüfen ...

Aber vorläufig rangiert der romantische Wahn eines erneuerten heiligen Reiches voran.

'Naturrecht', 'göttliches Recht' + 'Gottesgnadentum' werden gehandelt, als gäbe es die weltrevolutionäre Öffnung des geschlossenen Mittelalters nicht ..."

Schließlich sieht Koch "die wahre Chance eines christlichen Europa" darin, "sich aus den beiden Weltblöcken zu lösen, im Innern eine starke, im Gewissen fundierte Grundordnung des kulturellen, wirtschaftlichen + politischen Zusammenlebens aller europäischen Völker zu entwickeln, den USA wie der Sowjetunion ziviles Vertrauen zu geben".

Nach Nikolaus Koch ist "der christliche Dienst, der mir, Ihnen + uns Allen ziemt",

die Verwirklichung der "allgemeinen Menschenwürde + der elementarsten Menschenrechte auf gesundes Loben ´+ auf Bildung + auf Arbeit + auf Muße + auf solidarische Hilfe in der Not".

Larry Saltzman is an American Jew who believes that the meaning of the Holocaust is that "never again" means that no people on the planet should be persecuted.

He is deeply involved in organic gardening and has an orchard of some 60 fruit trees.

He had been opposed to the Israeli occupation for some time, but when he learned of the wanton destruction of orchards + farmland by Israeli troops in the Palestinian Territories this past year, he decided to become active. He has a B.A. in Anthropology from UCLA but works as a computer programmer.   https://www.middleeastwire.com

- I personally draw a positive conclusion from this research.

As an American-Jew, I have long struggled with the contradictions + problems of Zionism + the unjust policies of the State of Israel towards Palestinians.

For those brave enough to seize this research in the right spirit, there is a solution in it for the problems of the Middle East.

Simply stated, European Jews + Middle Eastern Jews + Palestinians are brothers + sisters + share a common Canaanite ancestry.

There were a small number of voices amongst the early Zionists who were against the creation of a separate Jewish state in the region.

They lost out to the bigger faction lead David Ben-Gurion, who suffered from the disease of European colonialism.

Ben-Gurion + those in his camp saw the natives of the region as an obstacle to be eliminated.

I believe Jews around the world need to take pride not in Israel as a modern colonialist State but in the entire region Palestine as the homeland of Canaanite + Israelite culture that we are descended from.

European Jews are simply Europeanized Canaanites, Palestinians, whether Muslim, Christian or Jewish were simple Arabacized Canaanites.

Even modern genetic research is proving that we come from the same ancestry.
- It was under King Josiah that the Bible was finally written and something resembling modern Judaism begins to take shape in the 7th + 8th centuries BC.

It is political document that is designed to glorify the Josiah and to connect him falsely with the golden era when the state of Israel briefly rose up as a powerful and advanced civilized center.  

The Bible is essentially a work of propaganda weaving, historical fragments + myths of various Canaanite peoples into a powerful justification for Josiah's rule and expansionist policies.
-Archeologists live in a world of tells, strata, Carbon 14 dating, Jericho IV, The Early, Middle + Late Bronze Age, Iron Age I + Iron Age II and of course pottery shards and architectural styles.

Slowly but surely as they excavate + date the significant Archeological sites located in modern Israel + parts of Occupied Palestine the history of the region as recorded in the Bible is being re-written from what the Bible has told us.

What follows is a very brief summary of that research + an analysis of its' implications.  

Professor Finkelstein has not attempted himself to interpret his research in the context of the contemporary political + diplomatic complexities of the Middle East.

He has simply presented the facts that the archeological record has revealed.

Some archeologists still disagree, but his is a mainstream scientific view + not the work of a fringe writer with a political or conspiracy ax to grind.

And more and more prominent scholars in the field are moving to something like his viewpoint, even though they may disagree on the details.  

Israel + Judah + Samaria were simply Canaanite States that arose out of indigenous Canaanite culture + not from the invasion of a mythical people called the Hebrews.  

Israel was a small Canaanite State that briefly achieved a golden age, reaching its' height of power + glory in the reign of King Ahab + Queen Jezebel.

The House of David never ruled in Israel it ruled over the Canaanite State of Judah.

The Bible Unearthed By Larry Saltzman - For PalestineChronicle.com Middle East News Online
A revolution is happening in Biblical Archeology.

Biblical Archeology is critically examining the Bible against the archeological record + is turning everything we thought we knew upside down.

It may disturb many that hold strong political or highly conservative religious beliefs.

This will be true of Christians + Muslims + Jews who interpret the Bible literally.  

It will disturb many secular Zionists who justify modern Israel's existence + the proposed annexation of "Judah and Sumaria" based on the Biblical Texts.

You can choose to believe this research or not.

But it has profound implications for the Israeli Palestinian conflict.

This article will review the theories of one of the foremost of these revolutionary Biblical archeologists -Israel Finkelstein.

The Bible Unearthed: Archaeology's New Vision of Ancient Israel + the Origin of Its Sacred Texts is a controversial book about the origin of the Bible.

The bold thesis of this book is that there is no archaeological evidence for the existence of Abraham, Patriarchs, Moses, or the Exodus +

that the monarchies of David or Solomon were much smaller than the Bible implies.

The authors (Israel Finkelstein + Neil Asher Silberman) argue that it is impossible to say much of anything about ancient Israel until the

7th century BC, around the time of the reign of King Josiah +

that the Bible might have been created at that time to further the religious reform + territorial ambitions of the Kingdom of Judah.

The Bible Unearthed

Tue December 13th at 2:00pm

The Old Testament remains at the heart of many contemporary concerns.

The heated battles over abortion, homosexuality (now threatening to tear apart the Anglican Church) + the right-to-live (as in the case of Terri Schiavo in the States) all testify to its continuing influence.

Millions still believe every word + story in it is literally true.

But can they be true?

Prof. Israel Finkelstein of Tel Aviv University + Neil Silberman of the Ename Centre of Public Archaeology in Belgium have brought together the findings of modern science + archaeology

in their book 'The Bible Unearthed' to try + cast light on this question.

In general, they make the following case:

The scientific position is clear.

There is no evidence of any kind for the existence of Abraham (supposedly the Israelites' founding patriarch), Moses, or Solomon.

At the time of the Exodus, Canaan -- the Promised Land to which the Israelites were fleeing -- was ruled + firmly controlled by the very Egypt from which they were trying to escape.

The conquest of Canaan by Joshua could not have happened in the way described in the Bible.

Most of the towns he is supposed to have conquered either weren't inhabited, didn't exist or were conquered at wildly different times.

Jerusalem, which was supposed to have become the capital of the great unified empire of King David (he of David and Goliath fame), appears to have been tiny and only sparsely inhabited in the relevant period.

Many of the great monuments of ancient Israel attributed on the authority of the Old Testament to King Solomon were of a later date.

00.000.1967 -since the- Six Day War excavations of early Israelite settlements on the West Bank of the Jordan have suggested strongly that the Israelites were in fact of local Canaanite stock.

They were probably desert nomads who took to hill farming for economic reasons + developed into two kingdoms - a northern one called Israel + a southern called Judah.

The Bible reflects the slightly differing traditions of the two kingdoms + when the north collapsed in the 8th century BC + its people fled south, an attempt was made through written texts to unify + reconcile both peoples. Thus the Old Testament began to take shape.

The Bible says the Israelites first began to worship one God in the time of Moses.

But in fact, the Israelites from both north + south were actually polytheistic + the process of monotheism didn't begin till many centuries after that supposed time.

This followed from the centralisation of cult worship in Jerusalem ordered by the king, as a way of rallying the people + it became focussed on a local Israelite deity, Yahweh (or as we know him, Jehovah).

After the southern kingdom of Judah was itself destroyed by the Babylonians, the leaders were taken to Babylon, where their religion + historic episodes were kept alive in their memory +

later elaborated in further texts on their return to Judah.

These collected texts are what we know as the Old Testament.

It thus evolved over many centuries, with many different authors, reflecting many different twists + turns in the political + religious life of the Israelites.

All too human - and thus perhaps, inevitably full of inconsistencies.

This makes it unreliable as straightforward history + it needs careful interpretation.

Historically at least, it cannot be taken as literally true in every particular.

14.Aug.2006 Fox News Guest: Muslims Practice ‘Johnny- Come- Lately’ Religion And Pray To ‘Someone Who Wants To Kill You’ - Think Progress 

Today on Fox News’s

Your World with Neil Cavuto, private investigator Bo Dietl argued that Arabs + Muslims should be subjected to racial profiling because Islam is a “Johnny-come-lately” religion + Muslims “pray to someone who wants to kill you.” Watch it: Transcript:

And Neil, the bottom line is, this is a Johnny-come-lately religion. Christians and Jews have been around for 1600 years, 1500 years before. When they’re having a religion talking about killing people, I think we should reevaluate people who pray to someone who wants to kill you.

We do know one thing for sure - Dietl is a “Johnny-come-never” to religious tolerance.

Hitting back on “the Al Qaeda candidate” myth.-Amanda-

This morning on CNN, Arianna Huffington blasted CNN journalist Chuck Roberts for suggesting that Ned Lamont “is the Al Qaeda candidate,” + demanded more accountability from journalists.

David Brock, CEO of MediaMatters, has written CNN and urged them to discipline Roberts.
14.Aug.2006 Sen. George Allen (R-VA) is accused - Amanda of possibly calling a 20-year-old volunteer of Indian descent on his opponent’s campaign a “monkey” (macaca).

This fellow here over here with the yellow shirt, Macaca, or whatever his name is. He’s with my opponent. … Lets give a welcome to Macaca, here.

Welcome to America and the real world of Virginia.” The volunteer, S.R. Sidarth, was born and raised in Virginia. (Video here.)
14.Aug.2006 Right Wing Politicizes London Plot While Calling For ‘National Unity’ On Terrorism - Payson 

Over the weekend, the television airwaves were inundated with conservatives calling for unity in response to the London terror plot.

No one should use this event or this war for political advantage,” Rep. Pete Hoekstra (R-MI) said on Fox News Sunday.

[M]y goodness,” Sen. Pat Roberts (R-KS) said yesterday, “if we can’t get national unity and take politics out of this in terms of an attack like this, I don’t know what’s going to happen to us.”

Much remains to be done to improve homeland security. For example, the administration has “yet to comprehensively improve sharing of counterterrorism information.” But rather than focus on policies to prepare against future terrorism, conservatives spent last week politicizing news of the London plot:

- “US President George W. Bush seized on a foiled London airline bomb plot to hammer unnamed critics he accused of having all but forgotten the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. […] ‘Weeks before September 11th, this is going to play big,’ said another White House official. ” [Agence France Presse, 8/10/06]

- “This week’s dramatic new terrorism threat may help remind voters Republicans have provided ‘strong leadership on that issue that won’t vacillate,’ Sen. John Thune of South Dakota said Friday. ‘People will focus on that issue this November,’ Thune said .” [Lincoln Journal Star, 8/12/06]

- “ ‘Defeatocrats!’ declared a statement issued by office of the House majority leader, John A. Boehner of Ohio, capturing the tone of Republican rhetoric as the news unfolded.” [New York Times, 8/11/06]

- “Today, President Bush faces a similar challenge. In the middle of a war on terror, we need to remain focused on furthering Republican ideas more than ever before. We can’t turn back now. […] That’s why I am emailing to ask you for a favor: will you click here to make a contribution of $500, $250, $100, $50, $35 or $25 to show your strong commitment to our Party and our principles?” [Rudy Giuliani Fundraising Email, 8/10/06]

Apparently the right wing is not yet unified around the concept of national unity in the face of terrorism.

14.Aug.2006 Ken Mehlman Falsely Claims Conservatives Aren’t Advocating ‘Stay The Course’ In Iraq - Think Progress 

Yesterday on Meet the Press, former Rove deputy Ken Mehlman tried to claim that conservatives are “not coming in and saying ‘Stay the course’” in Iraq, but rather are advocating “Win by adapting.” Watch it:

But despite Mehlman’s statement, plenty of conservatives are saying “stay the course”:

President Bush:

We’re not going to lose in Iraq. As a matter of fact, we will win in Iraq so long as we stay the course .” [7/11/06]

White House Press Secretary Tony Snow:

The second thing you do [to win the hearts and minds of Iraqis] is you stay the course. And you allow the government of Prime Minister Maliki to create a functioning and successful democracy.” [7/10/06]

Sen. Bill Frist (R-TN):

We’re for staying the course in Iraq and the war on terror.” [7/27/06]

Sen. John Thune (R-SD):

And a believe that a free, democratic Iraq is quickly becoming an inevitable fact + that now more than ever we need to stay the course there .” [2/17/05]

Sen. Johnny Isakson (R-GA):

On behalf of our men and women in harm’s way, the children they protect + the dreams and aspirations of Americans for a bright future, I will stay the course as a member of the Senate to support them in the war on terro r.” [11/8/05]

Full transcript below:

DAVID GREGORY: This is something that he also said last Sunday during a campaign speech. “The fact is”—this is Senator Lieberman speaking—“I have openly and clearly disagreed with and criticized the president for, among other things: not winning the support of our allies in the run-up to the war; not having a plan to win the peace; not putting enough troops on the ground; putting an American in charge of the Iraqi oil supply. And I said that if I were president, I would ask Secretary Rumsfeld to resign.” Given your respect for the credibility of his views, do you acknowledge that he’s right on these points?

MR. MEHLMAN: Look, the fact is that our mission in the war in Iraq is critical. We agree on that; we agree it’s wrong to cut and run. But look, we’re not coming in and saying “Stay the course.” The choice in this election is not between “Stay the course” and “Cut and run,” it’s between “Win by adapting” and “Cut and run.”

14.Aug.2006 Labor Department Official Poses As ‘Conservative Analyst’ On Fox News, PBS - Think Progress -  

Labor Department deputy assistant secretary Karen Czarnecki has repeatedly appeared on televisionincluding Fox News and PBS — as a pundit. While she apparently filed leave papers before heading to the studios and was cleared by the department’s ethics staff (political activity by federal employees is restricted by the Hatch Act), Czarnecki never revealed her government position. Instead she identified herself as a “conservative analyst.”

Some highlights of Czarnecki’s off-duty conservative analyses on PBS:

On abstinence:

CZARNECKI: Absolutely [abstinence is an option for African women], if Uganda can reduce its HIV infected population 50% to 60 over the years, it’s definitely an option.

HOST: It’s no more an option than to tell them their option is to marry a millionaire.

CZARNECKI: If you have free — you have free choice to choose abstinence. [7/16/06]

On intelligent design:

Intelligent design doesn’t equate religion with science. It is based on scientific premise .” [5/7/05]

On No Child Left Behind:

This program has been well funded by the federal government + states have billions of dollars unspent for education cost. They can apply to doing this.” [4/30/05]

While some of the shorter appearances were apparently freebies, the Wasington Post’s Al Kamen notes that “the regular PBS gig does supplement her government pay.”

14.Aug.2006 Sham UN Resolution Guarantees No End To Israel's War of Illegal Aggression
Stephen Lendman On August 11, the UN Security Council unanimously passed Resolution 1701 jointly proposed by the US and France and with all provisions in it signed off on by Israel before it was put to a vote. Neither Lebanon nor Hezbollah was afforded that same right. In a UN dominated by the world's only superpower and having to operate within the constraints it sets, only aggressors are allowed that privilege. It's victims never are. Re! solution 1701 was a revised version of the one the US and France first proposed on August 6 which the French then backed down on because of strong Lebanese government and Arab League opposition. The new resolution only guarantees one thing - no end to the conflict and no justice for its Lebanese victims. It doesn't even address the concurrent hostilities ongoing against the Palestinians arrogantly ignoring the fact that they're raging daily with no end in sight..

Empire comes to Lebanon
The U.S.-Israel axis goes all out to remove the last impediments to building a "New Middle East".
AIJAZ AHMAD LET us begin with a supposedly "undisputed" fact: The official story, told first by the Israeli government and automatically accepted by governments and media outlets across the world, is that Hizbollah is a Muslim fundamentalist, terrorist organisation which periodically lobs shells and rockets into civilian population centres of northern Israel and that, in its latest ! outrage on July 12, it attacked a border military post inside Israeli territory, killing six Israeli soldiers and capturing two. Having waited several years for "the international community" and the Lebanese government to disarm this "terrorist" organisation, Israel is said to have been finally exasperated by this latest outrage and, acting in self-defence, it decided to retaliate so as to "break Hizbollah" for ever and ever, for the sake of the security of its citizens. This official version raises some basic questions regarding the character of Hizbollah itself, about the very incident that is supposed to have "provoked" Israel beyond endurance + about the scope of Israel's "retaliation"...

The "ceasefire"
Eli Stephens, Left I on the News Reuters reports what has been obvious to any intelligent person since the terms of the so-called "ceasefire" were announced: Israel believes it will be entitled to use force to prevent Hizbollah from rearming and to clear guerrilla positions out of southern Lebanon after a U.N. truce takes effect, Israeli officials said on Sunday. Israeli officials said such operations are "defensive" in nature and therefore permissible under a U.N. Security Council resolution w! hich calls for Israel to halt "all offensive military operations". The Israeli operations could include air strikes against arms convoys travelling anywhere in Lebanese territory, a senior Israeli official said. ...

PLO: 'Ceasefire agreement' leaves room for Israel to continue military invasion
IMEMC + PNN "There was never an agreement more favorable to Israel," said Israeli defense minister Amir Peretz about the United Nations (UN) 'ceasefire' agreement. Such words sound ominous to the ears of the Lebanese people, who suffered under eighteen years of military occupation by Israel due to a number of agreements 'favorable to Israel'. Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) Executive Committee Political Bureau member, Taysir! Khalid, is inclined to agree that the agreement favors Israel, saying it "gives Israel a green light to continue its aggression against the Lebanese people"...

Cease-Fire Charade
Editorial, Arab News By the time the Israeli Cabinet meets today to consider Prime Minister Ehud Olmert?s recommendation that the UN cease-fire resolution be accepted, Israel?s major new thrust toward the Litani River in southern Lebanon will probably have expanded the conflict with Hezbollah. The slightest hint of a Hezbollah counterattack, under the one-sided terms of Friday?s Resolution 1701, will permit the Israeli military to mount "defensive" operations and thus keep the conflict going. W! e can confidently expect that Olmert?s Cabinet will willingly agree to the cease-fire ? just as soon as Hezbollah stops its attacks. Israel is a past master at kicking its boot into the hive and then protesting that it must take action against the resulting swarm. Will the Security Council allow itself to be manipulated into remaining silent about Israel?s massive new push into Lebanese territory?...

UN says 'peace tomorrow' despite Israeli attack
Conal Urquhart in Matulla, Mitchell Prothero in Beirut and Peter Beaumont in London, The Observer Israel dramatically defied a unanimous United Nations Security Council ceasefire resolution by escalating its ground war yesterday in southern Lebanon, asserting that it needed more time to 'clean up' Hizbollah. Last night Kofi Annan, the secretary general of the UN, insisted that hostilities would end at 5am tomorrow, saying that both Israeli and Lebanese prime ministe! rs had agreed to a ceasefire. But yesterday there was little sign of peace as Israel sent more armour and helicopters into Lebanon. Dozens of helicopters ferried infantry deep into Lebanon in a race to grab territory. By the day's end, 30,000 Israeli soldiers had crossed the border. Despite reports that some troops had reached the Litani, it was also their bloodiest day of fighting, with at least 11 killed and 70 wounded...

Israeli Leaders Fault Bush on War
Robert Parry Amid the political and diplomatic fallout from Israel?s faltering invasion of Lebanon, some Israeli officials are privately blaming President George W. Bush for egging Prime Minister Ehud Olmert into the ill-conceived military adventure against the Hezbollah militia in south Lebanon. Bush conveyed his strong personal support for the military offensive during a White House meeting with Olmert on May 23, according to sources familiar with the thinking of senior Israeli! leaders. Olmert, who like Bush lacks direct wartime experience, agreed that a dose of military force against Hezbollah might damage the guerrilla group?s influence in Lebanon and intimidate its allies, Iran and Syria, countries that Bush has identified as the chief obstacles to U.S. interests in the Middle East...

Before the choir of generals utters their expected cries of being stabbed in the back - "The government has shackled our hands! The politicians did not allow the army to win! The pol! itical leadership is to blame for everything!" - it is worthwhile to examine this war from a professional military point of view...

14.Aug.2006 Old Methods Used to Detect Liquid Explosives - Zonk 187 Bain writes

"According to Wired News, the UK fear of terrorists using liquid explosives could be dramatically reduced by the use of some very old tech. Recent events have seen passengers forced to pack only the barest of essentials into clear plastic bags and the restriction on all liquids force even mothers with young children to have to test bottled milk to prove that it isn't a dangerous liquid." From the article: "For a machine to detect explosives in liquid or solid form, it bombards an object with energy -- such as radio waves or neutrons -- and in seconds measures the reaction, a response that differs depending on the material's chemical properties. Software in the machine is programmed to alert screeners if it detects chemical signatures known to match those of dangerous materials. A key question, though, is whether this kind of detection system can realistically block terrorists from bringing seemingly innocuous liquids past security and combining them later to deadly effect."

US Satellite Plan Could Knock Out GPS and Radio - samzenpus 99 Audent writes

"Otago University researchers are concerned by US plans to protect satellites from solar storms... "The approach, which is being considered by the US Air Force and the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, involves using very low frequency radio waves to flush particles from belts and dump them into the upper atmosphere over either one or several days". The plan could disrupt GPS signals and high frequency radio over the Pacific for up to a week. "The disruptions result from a deluge of dumped charged particles temporarily changing the ionosphere from a "mirror" that bounces high frequency radio waves around the planet to a "sponge" that soaks them up.""

A U.N.-declared cease-fire between Hezbollah and Israel went into effect this morning after a brutal escalation in violence over the weekend. Prospects for sustaining the cease-fire appear “dim” and assembling the international military force in Lebanon “is expected to take at least two or three weeks.”

Despite a “months-long pushto search for militants in “every house and business, street by street, neighborhood by neighborhood,” sectarian violence continues to rock Baghdad. “Car bombs and a rocket barrage struck a predominantly Shiite neighborhood in Baghdad, killing at least 62 people” today.

Illinois has dropped a referendum to ban gay marriage from its November ballot. State officials say supporters say failed to gather enough valid signatures.

Violence against women in Afghanistan is widespread and mainly happens inside victims’ homes,” according to a report from the U.N. Development Fund for Women. “Acts of violence (against women) are happening with impunity,” the report said.

Saqib Ali, a Muslim candidate for the Maryland House of Delegates, is being protested by a man who sits outside Ali’s house “with a sign reading ‘Islam sucks,’ and a shirt with the slogan, ‘This mind is an Allah-free zone.’”

Rep. Gary Miller (R-CA) made a tax-free profit of $10 million from land sold to the city of Monrovia by claiming that the city “had forced him to sell the property under threat of eminent domain.” Just one problem: “Monrovia officials say that Miller sold the land willingly and that they didn’t threaten to force him to sell.”

Rich countries have largely failed to back their voluble lip service to combating global poverty by doing more to help,” according to the Center for Global Development.

14.Aug.2006 Ridge says Cheney wrong about Lamont victory. - Nico Newsweek, 8/21 issue:

[Responding to Cheney’s claim that Lamont’s victory would encourage ‘al Qaeda types’], former Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge bridled at his former colleague’s remark: ‘That may be the way the vice president sees it,’ he sees it, ‘but I don’t see it that way + I don’t think most Americans see it that way.’”
14.Aug.2006 Kristol: Cheney’s Claim That Lamont Win Helps ‘Al-Qaeda Types’ Is ‘Indisputably Correct’ - Judd 

Last week, Vice President Dick Cheney called Ned Lamont’s win in the Connecticut primary “disturbing” because “the al Qaeda types, they clearly are betting on the proposition that ultimately they can break the will of the American people in terms of our ability to stay in the fight and complete the task.”

Today on Fox News Sunday, Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol called Cheney’s remarks “indisputably correct.” Kristol said that anyone who advocates redeployment of U.S. troops from Iraq is helping al-Qaeda. Watch it:

Transcript:

WALLACE: Bill, after the events of this week — and I know you’re not going to like this question — but can you argue that the working class neighborhoods in Britain are a bigger threat to the United States than what happens in Baghdad?

KRISTOL: No. Look, there are lots of threats. It is a global war. The Bush administration, I think, is deeply correct about this. And what you do on one front affects what happens on the other front. Cheney’s statement is indisputably correct. It doesn’t mean that Ned Lamont likes al Qaeda or wants al Qaeda to win. But the notion that a retreat in Iraq would not embolden terrorists elsewhere in the Middle East + terror recruiters in the suburbs of London, is ludicrous. Of course it would. Now, if you want to say we should get out of Iraq anyway because we can’t win and this is the price we have to pay, fine. But it’s just factually true that our pulling out of Iraq will be bad for us in the global war on terror.

Intersecting Facts and Theories on 9/11 By reprehensor

Joseph P. Firmage has written an excellent introduction and overview of the multitude of facts and theories that challenge the official narrative of 9/11. The paper is called, appropriately, " Intersecting Facts and Theories on 9/11 " and is freely downloadable at the Journal of 9/11 Studies. Here is a sample of the available analysis;
...A common refrain heard from the left – less often from the right – in response to suspicions about the official 9/11 story goes something like: “The Bush administration has demonstrated such incompetence on so many fronts that it strains the imagination to think they could of have pulled off something so elaborate + kept it a secret.” This argument ignores three key facts.
First, while George W. Bush may be intellectually challenged across the board + while neoconservatives may have a gravely naïve, overreaching geopolitical agenda, Bush officials in key national security positions have superlative experience in managing clandestine operations + have repeatedly demonstrated ruthless, systematic, detailed-oriented control over sensitive programs and information. The historical preoccupation of key officials across the Bush administration with clandestine operations – both legal and illegal – is well known to historians of the field.
Second, vastly larger programs have remained secret for decades. A few examples: the National Security Agency has a larger budget and more employees than the CIA. It was organized 00.000.1949. This entire agency of the federal government remained completely hidden from the public until the 1980s, over three decades later. One of the programs run by NSA, believed to have started in the 1940s, was Project Shamrock, through which all major transatlantic telegraph cables were tapped with the cooperation of AT&T and other communications carriers. This vast program – involving people building, installing and running equipment all over the world + yet numerous others watching and translating conversations – was kept entirely secret until the 1990s. Most American citizens have never heard of this program to this day. Serious students of the U.S. national security apparatus know how effective its systems can be in controlling information and people + compartmenting information and tasks into a startlingly small number of hands.
Third, the official 9/11 story asks us to believe that only a couple of dozen poorly trained Islamic radicals deftly maneuvered through the world’s most powerful intelligence gathering and military machine. How much easier might it have been for a similar number of people to do so, employing many unknowing others for secondary, compartmented tasks, if those handful with full knowledge of the plan also knew every aspect of the U.S. intelligence and military machine + were in key positions governing its activities and responses?
The historical association between Bush officials, government and private intelligence networks and clandestine operations argues against the notion that incompetence allowed 9/11 to occur + therefore this fact must raise suspicion...

Gregory, Stephanopoulos ignored, downplayed NBC report that U.S. officials rushed UK to make terror arrests In Terrorism

On the August 13 edition of NBC's Meet the Press, guest host and NBC News chief White House correspondent David Gregory interviewed Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff about the recently foiled British terror plot, but Gregory failed to question Chertoff about an August 12 report by his own network that, while British officials had intended to continue surveillance on the suspected plotters, U.S. authorities had pressured them to arrest the suspects sooner. Meanwhile, on the August 13 edition of ABC's This Week, host George Stephanopoulos noted this report, but left the false impression that the allegations were the product of the "blogosphere," rather than of a major news outlet.

In an August 12 article on the NBC News website, the network's investigative unit, including reporters Aram Roston and Lisa Myers, reported that U.S. authorities had objected to a plan by the British police to "continue to run surveillance for at least another week to try to obtain more evidence" on the terror suspects. They attributed the story to a senior British official:

NBC News has learned that U.S. and British authorities had a significant disagreement over when to move in on the suspects in the alleged plot to bring down trans-Atlantic airliners bound for the United States.

A senior British official knowledgeable about the case said British police were planning to continue to run surveillance for at least another week to try to obtain more evidence, while American officials pressured them to arrest the suspects sooner. The official spoke on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the case.

In contrast to previous reports, the official suggested an attack was not imminent, saying the suspects had not yet purchased any airline tickets. In fact, some did not even have passports. [...]

At the White House, a top aide to President Bush denied the account.

"There was unprecedented cooperation and coordination between the U.S., the U.K. and Pakistani officials throughout the case," said Frances Townsend, Assistant to the President for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism, "and we worked together to protect our citizens from harm while ensuring that we gathered as much info as possible to bring the plotters to justice. There was no disagreement between U.S. and U.K. officials."

Another U.S. official, however, acknowledges there was disagreement over timing. Analysts say that in recent years, American security officials have become edgier than the British in such cases because of missed opportunities leading up to 9/11.

In his 12-minute interview with Chertoff, Gregory brought up the issue of "our coordination with British authorities," asking, "What worked here?" But Gregory failed to question Chertoff regarding the reported disagreement, despite the fact that his own network had broken the story a day earlier. From the August 13 interview:

GREGORY: Let me ask you about our coordination with British authorities. What worked here?

CHERTOFF: Well, what worked is deep relationships; trust -- the fact that we did not have leaks prior to the takedown. You know, that's one of the critical lessons out of this whole thing. The British trusted us with very sensitive information + they were able to do it because they were confident we weren't going to leak. That's why leaks are so pernicious. Not only do they actually reveal secrets, but they undercut the basis of trust, which is the foundation of our whole international effort.

On the August 13 edition of ABC's This Week, Stephanopoulos noted the allegations that the United States had rushed the United Kingdom to make the arrests while "the Brits wanted to wait," but he left the impression that the story had been reported by bloggers. Stephanopoulos brought up the report after syndicated columnist George Will said, "I'm sure somewhere out in that fog of paranoia we call the blogosphere, there are all kinds of people writing that the British police ... and the Bush administration timed this all to counter" the political fallout from Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman's loss in the August 8 Connecticut Democratic primary to anti-Iraq war candidate Ned Lamont. Stephanopoulos responded, "[T]here certainly is," and noted, "There was one report that said the United States ... rushed this -- the Brits wanted to wait." But Stephanopoulos failed to mention that this report had come from NBC News, not the blogosphere.

From the August 13 edition of ABC's This Week with George Stephanopoulos :

WILL: I'm sure somewhere out in that fog of paranoia we call the blogosphere, there are all kinds of people writing that the British police and the Pakistani police and the Bush administration timed all this to counter the Lamont --

STEPHANOPOULOS: I was reading -- I was reading on the internet last night -- there certainly is.

MARTHA RADDATZ (ABC News chief White House correspondent): Funny about that conspiracy, huh?

STEPHANAPOULOS: There was one report that said the United States rushed -- rushed this -- the Brits wanted to wait. I'm not verifying this. I'm just reporting it.

14.Aug.2006 South Tower Fly-By in Both "Live" 2nd Hit Videos -Humint Events Online
The 9/11 hijacking attacks were very likely facilitated by a rogue group within the US government that created an Islamic terrorist "Pearl Harbor" event as a catalyst for the military invasion of Middle Eastern countries. This weblog will explore the incredibly strange events of 9/11/01 + other issues of US government responsibility.
South Tower Fly-By in Both "Live" 2nd Hit Videos By Spooked

In an earlier analysis of 2nd hit videos, I found that the plane position in the "CNN wide" video did not line up at all with the plane in another 2nd hit video-- the "blue plane" FOX video.

I also found, somewhat unexpectedly, that the plane in the "CNN wide" video was much further away from the towers than I expected.
In fact, in retrospect, I didn't even need Flight Simulator to tell me this. If one simply looks at the picture here:
you can see the plane is still a way from the towers, particularly given the distance of the camera and the resulting perspective.
This finding made me wonder if other 2nd hit videos showed a similar phenomenon. So I looked at this famous ABC "live" shot,
that I have discussed in the past.
I modeled this shot as carefully as I could using flight simulator-- in particular I tried to get the right angle of the building and the right size of the plane:
Interestingly, though, this plane is also quite a ways off from the towers as judged by the "blue plane" video angle:
And way off, according to the "CNN wide" video angle (note, the plane should be on the other, west, side of the building)
And looking from above, the plane is not so far from the south tower, but clearly is not on the right trajectory for the tower.
Keep in mind, that for the simulations above, I have not changed the plane position AT ALL, merely changed the camera angle.
So this finding suggests that the plane is actually MISSING the towers + flying to the east of the towers. This is actually consistent with the CNN video (as shown in the link above) and with
the Blue plane video.
Now, let's look
at the other video of the 2nd hit that was shown live, the so-called Salter video (named for who it came from):
Here's the plane coming into this video:
As you can see, the towers are in near profile, as is the plane.
We know the width of the towers: 208 feet.
And a Boeing 767-200 is 160 feet long.
Since the plane came in at almost a perpendicular angle to the tower, there should be little foreshortening of the plane + the ratio of the plane to the towers should be about 0.77.
The ratio of the plane to the towers here is 0.69, when only the west wall is measured (the towers show a little bit of northern wall in the photo).

This suggests the plane is in fact a bit further away than it should be to hit the towers + thus is smaller.
I did some modeling of this shot, but going about it a different way than above:
Here is the camera view-- very far away to the west as in the video:
Here is a zoom-in, showing the plane close to the towers, similar to the shot from the video:
You can see the trajectory is just right to hit the south tower in this modeling:
Now, what is the ratio of the plane length to the tower width in this simulation?
Keep in mind we are measuring just the west wall width, not the complete width of the towers.
The ratio is 0.8-- close to the 0.77 ideal ratio.
This indicates that the smaller ratio in the ACTUAL video indicates that the plane was either farther away than it had to be to hit the building-- or the wrong plane was used, or the video was faked somehow.
What is we keep the plane where it is and compare it to the ABC live shot I analyzed above:
It looks very similar! But what about the plane size?
The ratio of the plane to the overall building width here in this model is: 0.37
The ratio of the plane to the overall building width here in the actual video is: 0.34 (in other words, smaller).
In the ABC "live" model from above, the ratio of the plane to the overall building width here in the actual video is: 0.33-- fairly close to the video shot.
Taken together, we have four videos of the 2nd hit now, that were shown early on the morning of 9/11, that show the plane missing the towers and going off to the east.
This suggests either:
1) the plane that hit the towers was not a Boeing 767-200, but a smaller plane, or
2) the videos filmed a Boeing 767-200 flying past the towers then manipulated the video to make it seem as though the plane hit (i.e. vut out the plane continuing on past the towers), or
3) the videos show a computer generated image that is too small for a Boeing 767-200.
My guess is a plane did fly past the towers at some point + this was spliced into footage of the towers exploding. This would be somewhat easier than completeley generating plane video from scratch.
The question is WHEN did the plane fly past?

14.Aug.2006 Gone were the internecine battles within the Republican Party. Gone was the defeat of Lieberman over the war. Gone was the destruction of Lebanon. Gone was Tony Blair's crooked fund-raiser. Gone was Iraq...

Gone, gone, gone...

There was an Orange Alert + those of using the nation's airports were gulping, gulping, gulping down liquids to satisfy Michael Chertoff that we wouldn't smuggle mass death aboard disguised as a latte.

As always, however, the press was vigilant. The flagship New York Times had written on the 11th (at least in its on-line version), "Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said new restrictions imposed on travelers reflected a belief that the plotters planned to use liquids, 'each one of which would be benign, but mixed together could be used to create a bomb.'" As the public began to comment on how vague this seemed as the basis for wasting milkshakes and bottled water, the wording was changed to "Mr. Chertoff said the attackers planned to carry explosive material and detonation components disguised as beverages, electronic devices and other common objects' onto the planes."

Judith Miller worked for the Times, too.

But I suppose I am just a conspiracy theorist... an odd one, however, that is saying "be less afraid," lest we all allow ourselves to be made bigger nitwits than Dog the Bounty Hunter or Tony (the poodle) Blair. Link

CRIMES AND CORRUPTIONS OF THE NEW WORLD ORDER NEWS - LiveJournal.com Miri Eisen, Mother For Peace, Justifies Killing Arab Kids And Arab Bloggers See the Light

And here we have two North American chicks coming "home" to Israel. These are the type of gals with whom naive Arab bloggers, self-professed "moderates," swap hummus recipes. Or used to...Lebanon has been a wake-up call.
The
Christian Science Monitor writes that the Arab and North American transplant Zionist bloggers aren't seeing eye-to-eye so much nowadays. Pity that they no longer will be used by Zionist propagandists to put a good face on Israel.
Like Miri Eisen, a transplanted American, who is hailed as a "Mother For Peace," along with Vichy Palestinian Noni Darwish, who comes on CNN to put a nice face on Israel's slaughter of handicapped Lebanese kids. At least
Rosemary Church of CNN International didn't let her get away with it (this is a great video).
And, we have a family of Lebanese refugees, fleeing Southern Lebanon, to make Israel a safe place for transplant American yuppies.
My letter to Christian Science Monitor re the above linked story:
Dear Editor:
Jews and Arabs co-existed for centuries before the onslaught of political Zionism. So-called "moderate" Arab bloggers who pride themselves on forging on-line relationships with Israeli bloggers, many of them transplants from North America, are naively allowing themselves to be used to put a good face on Israel. Israel's barbarism in Lebanon has perhaps opened their eyes once and for all to the effects of political Zionism. No one should feel good about comparing hummus recipes with privileged Americans who transplant themselves to Israel to live in historic Palestine, ninety-two percent of which was usurped by Israel from its rightful owners, who were expelled by Israel 00.000.1948 +

So.... like the Toronto and Florida "plots" could be just another far-fetched fantasy perpetuated by government agents? Could it be like the article below says, "induced, controlled terror for political purposes"?

No, no, it couldn't be -after all, agent provocateurs don't get paid for hatching plots, do they? And counter-intel folks don't get promoted for busting them. And the government doesn't get to look good in the war on terror. And the media doesn't get increased viewers and advertising. And the governing party doesn't swiftly increase fundraising.

No, no. None of these things happen in this best of all possible worlds.

14.Aug.2006 New Ruler's of the World A documentary film by John Pilger

'Global economy' is a modern Orwellian term.

On the surface, it is instant financial trading, mobile phones, McDonald's, Starbucks, holidays booked on the net.

Beneath this gloss, it is the globalisation of poverty, a world where most human beings never make a phone call and live on less than two dollars a day,

where 6,000 children die every day from diarrhea because most have no access to clean water. Click here to view

https://www.cannonfire.blogspot.com/What the hell does this guy has to do to garner a higher failure rating?

He has run up massive and unrepayable debts to Saudi Arabia + Communist China, lied the country into war, supported Israel's lapse into total insanity, overseen soaring gas prices, allowed the death of a major American city, destroyed our image internationally, refused to safeguard our ports and borders, fostered a culture of corruption and kickbacks + -- well, you know the rest.
Moreover, the guy's a clown. Every time he opens his mouth he sounds like a 'shroomed-up Mrs. Malaprop with a cowboy twang.

In most recent photos he looks like a rubber-faced vaudevillian whose suspenders have just snapped. Our predicament is more humiliating than a mere rape: We're being raped by Bozo .
The good news: Only Nixon has a higher failure rating -- 47%. The rest of the standings are unsurprising, although Reagan (who initiated the economics of high debt) has far too high a ranking, as does Poppy Bush. Personally, I would place both Bush es well below Nixon. At least Nixon was bright.

https://www.cannonfire.blogspot.com/W has only a 40% failure rating? Covert History directs our attention to this poll, which rates all American presidents since FDR.

According to the pollsters, 31% of our fellow citizens consider Dubya "great," 28% think of him as "average," while 40% -- only 40% -- consider him a failure.
One wonders what -- if anything -- could chip into that 31%. Perhaps the publication of "A Cheerleader Named George" by Victor Ashe?
