03.Dec.2006 _{https://www.cannonfire.blogspot.com/}Impeachment Words of wisdom from a D.U. contributor named cali: Impeachment Is Like The Final Stages Of A Serious Chess Game
You have to be able to see the whole board and figure out how to win. That means you don't rush it.
To succeed means to convict in the Senate. That means you need to do two very important things: You have to persuade the American people to support and understand why it must be done + you have to make a case so compelling that foot dragging red state dems and the majority of the repubs must vote for conviction or suffer the political consequences.
Howls for the virtual heads of bush/cheney on pikes, aren't gonna cut it. We need investigations before impeachment articles are introduced, not so much to make the case to the Senate, but to make the case to the American people. Permalink

01.Dec.2006 The long, unwinding road to a dollar adjustment: Here are the facts: the US, the richest country in the world, consumes more each year than it produces. Its already high standard of living is being increased by net imports from abroad worth some 6.5 per cent of GDP. These imports (eg from China) are paid for in dollars, with which the Chinese monetary authorities obligingly buy US securities

We now learn that Alexander Litvinenko was blackmailing Russian oligarchs. See the Guardian story here and the Times here.

A few excerpts: Litvinenko claimed to have made contact with senior sources in the heart of the FSB, the successor to the KGB,

who would supply him with a stream of confidential dossiers on any target that the 43-year-old exile requested.
These documents would, according to Litvinenko, be used to 'blackmail' some of Russia's most shadowy and formidable figures.

It was simple: either they would pay or the world would learn their blackest secrets.

And... Although he described himself as a journalist, Litvinenko tried unsuccessfully to muscle in on several lucrative business deals with Russians.
On the day that he fell ill he was attempting to broker a gas and oil exploration deal involving a British conglomerate that he claimed to represent.

He was envious of the money that many of his former colleagues were making.

"The one we found in this finger tip applies to 60 % of the Arabic population, which suggests the possibility that his mother was of Middle Eastern origin," Capasso said.

Other experts, however, say that determining ethnicity based on fingerprints is vague.

The artist often ate while working + Capasso and other experts said his fingerprints could include traces of saliva, blood or the food he ate the night before. It is information that could help clear up questions about his origins.

Certain distinctive features are more common in the fingerprints of some ethnic populations, experts say.

"How's your boy?"
Let's take this story out of a political context.
Let's say you're watching a film about a crusading D.A. who has targeted a seemingly untouchable crime kingpin. The D.A. has a son who works in a garage. One night, a mysterious explosion destroys this garage. Although no-one is harmed, nerves are frazzled.
Soon after, the D.A. and the kingpin meet at a fancy social function. The fat crime boss, dressed in a resplendent three-piece suit, approaches the crusading prosecutor. The crime lord takes a puff on his cigar, flashes a dazzling grin + asks:
"How's your boy?"
Everyone in the audience would understand the subtext.
02.Dec.2006 _{https://www.cannonfire.blogspot.com/} The first thing you have to understand is that Litvinenko was a liar . Like Anatoli Golitsyn, he was in the business of selling hallucinations. In the 1960s, we had "The Sino-Soviet split is a fraud!"

In the 1970 s, we had "The Russian military could overwhelm ours!" In the 1980s, we had "The KGB shot the Pope!" Today, we have "Putin controls Osama!" In each case, the faux-hip bought into the lie in order to prove that they knew more than the average bear. In the end, they proved only their own gullibility.
Litvinenko may have started to balk at his assigned function, at which point his masters decided that he was more useful as a martyr. The current "Igor" nonsense is further evidence that we are witnessing a movie . Pass the popcorn. Permalink
02.Dec.2006 _{https://www.cannonfire.blogspot.com} Note too that Litvinenko spread crap about Italian Prime Minister Romano Prodi -- a disinformation barrage desgined to keep Berlusconi in office. And the Russian tried to claim that the Red Brigades acted on Moscow's order, when we know that the "left-wing" Italian violence of the

1970 s was actually stage-managed by SISMI -- or rather "Super-SISMI," the P2 faction within Italian intelligence. A classic "false flag" operation.
The accusations against Prodi and Putin metastisized over time, as Litvinenko kept "remembering" things that far outdistanced previous statements. If you recall the Judith Campbell Exner disinfo, you know the drill.
02.Dec.2006 _{https://www.cannonfire.blogspot.com/} Litvinenko: Not EEEgore. EYEgor! Rupert Murdoch's News of the World is reporting that they know the name of Alexander Litivenko's killer: UK's News of the World newspaper claims that they know who poisoned former Russian spy Alexander Litvinenko, but only print his middle name - Igor "for legal reasons."
The 46-year-old expert in covert operations belonged to Russia's Spetsnaz special forces, the paper states and was fingered in a document Litvinenko received right before he was poisoned with radioactive polonium-210.
Litvinenko handed Scotland Yard the dossier he received at London's Itsu sushi bar + it contains a long hit-list with his name on top, News of the World claims. This is getting silly. In Russia, the middle name is the patronymic. "Igor" is impossible, although "Igorovich" is possible. How likely is it that this newspaper (a Murdoch rag, naturally!) would have truncated the patronymic? Not very.
I've come to suspect that the entire death of Litvinenko has been a stage-managed spectacle from the start. The death itself is quite real, but much of the surrounding storyline has been concocted. See here: Of course, one of the chief obstacles in assessing the situation is the fact that almost everything we knew about the case for weeks was spoon-fed to the media by the most elite PR operation in Britain. Almost from the moment that Litvinenko fell ill, he disappeared behind a phalanx of handlers paid for by his patron, Boris Berezovsky, the fugitive Russian billionaire and shadowlands operator par excellence. To handle - and generate - the publicity surrounding the incident, Berezovsky called on his old friend Baron Bell of Belgravia, who, back when he was just plain old Tim Bell, served as the private propaganda chief for Margaret Thatcher, as Sourcewatch reports. The baron has also flacked for disgraced media mogul Conrad Black, disgraceful media mogul Rupert Murdoch + the Coalition Provisional Authority, the mechanism set up by the Bush administration to eviscerate Iraq. Ah, the smell of greasepaint. I think we can now safely presume that Litvinenko's deathbed "J'Accuse!" directed at Putin is fictional.

02.Dec.2006 Murtha Raises Alarm Over Study Group, Warns ‘Kissinger Came Out With The Same Type of Thing’ - Think Progress - 

Tonight on CNN’s Situation Room, Rep. John Murtha (D-PA) said that the Iraq Study Group’s reported recommendations for troop withdrawals from Iraq were “unacceptable.” According to the Washington Post, the group will recommend that roughly half of U.S. forces be redeployed from Iraq by 2008.

“[T]he problem is they say it depends on the circumstances on the ground,” Murtha said. “Well, if it depends on circumstances on the ground it’s not a lot different than what President Bush is saying.” He added, “Kissinger came out with the same type of thing in the 1960s and three years later we got out of there, but we lost 20,000 troops.” Watch it:

Murtha noted that he is “going to meet with the White House officials sometime next week and try to convince them that it’s just not going well. It’s not going to be better.” Digg It! Full transcript:

MURTHA: Now, the commission is saying let’s redeploy, let’s change the policy of stay the course to redeployment.

The problem, as I understand it + I haven’t seen the report either, Wolf, but the problem is they say it depends on the circumstances on the ground. Well, if it depends on circumstances on the ground it’s not a lot different than what President Bush is saying. And then President Bush says he’s going to ignore it anyway.

Now, we have to have a change in policy here and that’s what we’re going to work on all this year, trying to work with this president in trying to reduce our number of troops in Iraq and do it as soon as practicable.

BLITZER: Leon Panetta, a former White House chief of staff under President Clinton, OMB director, former member of the House himself. Did he give you any sense of how specific, though, they might be in terms of a time line?

MURTHA: Well, he said, I think, the end of 2008 have all the troops out, but that’s unacceptable.

BLITZER: You mean all the troops or just the combat troops?

(CROSSTALK)

BLITZER: Because half of the troops are combat troops; the other are support troops or trainers.

MURTHA: Yes, that’s true. He said combat troop. But that is unacceptable to me. We’re costing $8 billion a month, Wolf. Since I spoke out there were 400 attacks a day. Now there’s 800 attacks a day. All the measurements which you and I have talked about before, oil production, electricity production, below prewar level. The Iraqis want us out of there, the world wants us out of there. We have to find a way to redeploy the troops and we have to do it sooner rather than later.

Now, we have to work on it this year. I’m going to meet with the White House officials sometime next week and try to convince them that it’s just not going well. It’s not going to be better.

Kissinger came out with the same type of thing in the 1960s and three years later we got out of there, but we lost 20,000 troops. We’re just not making the progress. And then they say, well, we need 300,000 Iraqis trained. Then they say we need 100,000 more Iraqis trained. They keep changing the guidelines. That’s the problem with this report.

02.Dec.2006 How the Chinese Wikipedia Differs from the English - Zonk 57 -  bulled writes

"News.com is running a story on differences found in Wikipedia's Chinese site content, as compared to content on the same subjects from the English site. The article goes into a discussion about how the 'sanitized' information is so prevalent in Chinese education that it is seen as the 'truth'." From the article: "[Some] say the object should be to spread reliable information as widely as possible + that, in any case, self-censorship is pointless because the government still frequently blocks access to Wikipedia for most Chinese Internet users. 'There is a lot of confusion about whether they should obey the neutral point of view or offer some compromises to the government,' said Isaac Mao, a well-known Chinese blogger and user of the encyclopedia. 'To the local Wikipedians, the first objective is to make it well known among Chinese, to get people to understand the principles of Wikipedia step by step + not to get the thing blocked by the government.'"

Via Huffington Post: NY Post Kills Triple Cross Review by an Angry Ex-Fed This is one item guaranteed not to appear in Page Six, the edgy gossip column that is the single reason most educated New Yorkers buy The New York Post. Yesterday, after a Post editor agreed to run a review of my new book TRIPLE CROSS in their Sunday edition, Bob McManus, editor of the editorial page abruptly cancelled the review. This after editor-in-chief Col Allan, an Aussie and close friend of owner Rupert Murdoch, learned that the author of the "review" was none other than Andrew C. McCarthy, a former Assistant U.S. Attorney in the SDNY who I indicted in the book for failing to stop al Qaeda's master spy Ali Mohamed.... It's ironic. I was praiseworthy of Andrew C.

I want to be nice to Richard Cohen, op-ed regular for the CIA's favorite newspaper, the Washington Post, because he seems so harmless, even innocuous. But with his November 21 installment, it is obvious he is minor neocon, even if he does not have the right stuff, that is to say the requisite moral depravity, the sociopathic personality. Instead, Mr. Cohen is a fool—not an idiot or moron, mind you, because imbeciles usually don't make it on the pages of the Washington Post, but one easily hornswoggled by propaganda, albeit incessant and irrational propaganda. According to Cohen, the "Vietnam War was morally correct" because "the communists were awful people," in other words it was not up to the Vietnamese to decide if communism was awful,...

Guess Who Didn't Come To Dinner
By Daniel Politi
Posted Thursday,

30.Nov.2006 at 5:30 AM ET

The New York Times + the Washington Post's late edition lead with a first look at what the Iraq Study Group will include in their final report as they finished deliberations in Washington yesterday.

Although no specific timelines will be mentioned, the commission will recommend a gradual withdrawal of troops from Iraq, implying that this drawdown should begin next year.

The final report, which will have about 100 pages, will be released next week.

The Los Angeles Times leads locally but takes advantage of its late deadline and goes high with the breakfast meeting between President Bush and Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri Maliki in Jordan.

The two were scheduled to have dinner yesterday with King Abdullah, but Maliki abruptly canceled.

There was no clear reason given for the cancellation, although several possibilities have been raised.

The Wall Street Journal tops its worldwide newsbox with the no-show prime minister saying it meant Bush's trip to the Middle East "got off to a rocky start."

USA Today leads with news that British investigators looking into the death of former Russian spy Alexander Litvinenko found "very low traces" of radiation on two British Airways jetliners.

Another plane is grounded in Moscow but so far has turned up no traces of radiation. Authorities emphasized the risk to passengers is very low, while they didn't specify whether polonium-210 was the substance found.

The three planes had recently flown from London to Moscow, but they had also flown to other cities, including Athens, Frankfurt + Madrid.

In recent weeks, 33,000 passengers flew in these planes. _{To continue reading, click here.}

02.Dec.2006 Pundit Admits Forcing Congressman To Swear In With Bible ‘May Well Be’ Unconstitutional - Nico - 

Right-wing talk show host Dennis Prager has raised a firestorm charging that Rep.-elect Kieth Ellison (D-MN), the first Muslim elected to Congress, must swear in using a Bible. He said that if Ellison swears in with a Quran, it would undermine “American civilization” and be akin to swearing in with a copy of Hitler’s “Mein Kampf.”

In an interview with USA Today, Prager acknowledged that “trying to ban Ellison from choosing to use a Quran ‘may well be’ unconstitutional.” As various commentators have pointed out, Prager’s demand violates the Constitution’s provision that “no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.”

Also, as ThinkProgress noted yesterday, the entire controversy is moot, since the swearing-in ceremony for the House of Representatives never includes a religious book.

Nevertheless, Prager said today “that he’s going to keep pressing the issue,” and that he’ll “be writing and talking about this issue again.” In a show of support, the American Family Association has launched a campaign urging Congress “to pass a law making the Bible the book used in the swearing-in ceremony of representatives and senators.”

02.Dec.2006 Fox News ‘Unwilling To Fall Into…Tender Trap’ Of Calling Iraq A Civil War - Think Progress - 

Fox News has declared that it will not use the phrase “civil war” to describe the current violence in Iraq.

Fox’s Senior Vice President John Moody — whose infamous politically-slanted internal memos have gained notoriety — said in a statement that “some are using the term civil war to indicate failure, not inside Iraq, but on U.S. policy in Iraq. We’re unwilling to fall into that tender trap. We’re not using the term because there are non-Iraqis in the fray and that makes it something different.” Watch it:

Fox News is right, Iraq is not simply a civil war. ThinkProgress noted in October that Iraq has devolved into at least four distinct violent conflicts. But that does not mean that one of those conflicts is not a civil war. Indeed, according to scholars surveyed by the New York Times, not only is Iraq in the midst of a civil war, the current level of bloodshed “already puts Iraq in the top ranks of the civil wars of the last half-century.”

Full transcript:

WILSON: The debate over terminology has become a media issue following NBC’s formal decision to use the term civil war, a decision first announced on Monday’s Today Show.

MATT LAUER, THE TODAY SHOW: NBC News has decided a change in terminology is warranted, that the situation in Iraq, with armed militarized factions fighting for their own political agendas, can now be characterized as civil war.

WILSON: And NBC correspondents have used the term several times since.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Iraq’s worsening civil war will dominate –

WILSON: Other news organizations have not followed NBC’s lead. For example, the executive producer of the CBS Evening News said, “to be honest with you, I think it’s a political statement, not a news judgment.” At CNN, an official statement, “CNN will continue to report on what is happening in Iraq on a day to day basis and we will also report on the on- going debate in academic and political circles about what constitutes a civil war.”

The senior V.P. for editorial here at Fox said today, “some are using the term civil war to indicate failure, not inside Iraq, but on U.S. policy in Iraq. We’re unwilling to fall into that tender trap. We’re not using the term because there are non-Iraqis in the fray and that makes it something different.”

02.Dec.2006 House Conservatives Push Fringe Abortion Measure Instead Of Vital Budget Bills - Nico - 

Next week, the 109th Congress returns for a final lame-duck session. “In a blend of pique and laziness,” conservatives are choosing to simply ignore their responsibility to complete nine overdue spending bills. Instead, they plan to pass an emergency stop-gap bill — called a “continuing resolution” — that will result in millions in funding cuts to vital programs. CongressDaily explains:

– The Social Security Administration has told congressional staff it might have to furlough every employee.
– HUD funding would not keep pace with demand for low-income housing vouchers, meaning “literally thousands of people would be out in the street,” one source said.
– School breakfast and lunch programs would face a $1 billion shortfall, cutting off 1.2 million participants.
– The Veterans Health Administration would have to absorb the $3 billion increase to meet this year’s requirements.

But while spending bills aren’t on the agenda, a “fetal pain abortion bill” — which has no chance of passing becoming law (it will likely pass in the House) and is described as a “last bid for loyalty” from the “base of social conservatives” — will likely get a vote:

The bill, by Rep. Chris Smith, R-N.J., defines a 20-week-old fetus as a “pain-capable unborn child” a highly controversial threshold among scientists. It also directs the Health and Human Service Department to develop a brochure stating “that there is substantial evidence that the process of being killed in an abortion will cause the unborn child pain.”

A report last year by the Journal of the American Medical Association reviewed nearly 2,000 studies on fetal pain +

concluded that “legislative proposals to allow fetal pain relief during abortion are not justified by scientific evidence.” Digg It!
