Will Bush produce bin Laden? Today he put the same task force that got Saddam on it.

Furthermore the Asia Times reported:

The increase in troop presence serves to prevent a civil war and to fight the Taliban in southern Afghanistan, where they remain a strong presence. Furthermore, the International Security Assistance Force under NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) command, has Kabul under control but is incapable of ensuring law and order in the rest of the country, where warlords prevail.

Why have the US media returned to Afghanistan? 'I don't know why, but they think Osama bin Laden is about to be captured,' says UN spokesman Manoel de Almeyda, a Brazilian national.

That is another thing keeping Bush awake at night: he wants bin Laden captured before the November elections in the US.

No doubt Bush will hold Afghanistan up as an example of his military success or wants to, but, as I've been reporting it doesn't seem as though the US has wanted to capture OBL. So far they have let him escape from Sudan to Afghanistan, visited him in a hospital in Dubai, and, let him escape from Tora Bora into Iran or Pakistan. Read More

On the heels of F 9-11, a little tidbit of information from the 9-11 commission snuck under the wires.

This is fascinating to me for two reasons. One being the lunacy of releasing information that is so easily proven to be erroneous on the heels of Moore's film. Two being the arrogance and art of Daniel Hopsicker, the jounalist holding the smokingest gun in the 9-11 cover up.

This is a fascinating piece, for the content, but, for something else. I'll share that with you after. Thanks to all that contributed to my last post. I heard some pretty good analysis. Can I get a witness? What is the case against OBL?

OK, I am going to give everyone a chance on this diary post to tell me the reasons why we went to war in Afghanistan. This is for all a yous that troll rate my comments and flame my diary comments section. I am listening to you.

I think I have gone WAY out on a limb at times and made mistakes for sure. However screwed my logic or sources or personality may indeed be, I make big honest mistakes and challenge what I believe is a big lie. The war on terror. Very simply state your case. Kerry is calling for a smarter war, but still a war.

War is never the answer. That is my main and most powerful smoking gun.

So whodunnit, because that is who we are after in Afghanistan, correct?

In my previous diary post I laid out facts pointing to CIA control of the media. Indistputable evidence from CIA documents, eyewitness accounts and the congressional record. Senate hearings on the matter in 1996 prove its existence even today, as of course nothing was done about it.

The CIA operates under the cover of being an intelligence gathering agency. This is not their only, and, some would say, not even their primary function: Read More

Of course we are all familiar with this right? Well this is a nice little nutshell post that covers the topic. Feel free to use it if you need to quickly get people up to speed on this issue.

The Senate hearings on this in 1996 confirm that this shit goes on. Terry Anderson I guess was thought by his captors to be CIA, excellent little lesson on how violence and secrecy based on INsecurity/defense actually makes us less secure. Imagine that! We have to be very careful or folks will call us nutcases for pointing out the obvious facts from the CIA's own documents and congressional records. Read More

While diary posts are not supposed to just highlight one link, this story is important and this kind of journalism is almost non existent in America, it deserves the space here.

These are the terrorists that we are spending trillions to battle on the streets of Iraq, the insurgents, the resistance first hand from a guy with a lot of balls: Read More

These are crucial times. We are at a crossroads where the people now have the power to usurp the corporate/CIA controlled media. Some of what I am about to report made it to the mainstream US press. Mostly it is the result of people of conscience, intellectuals and investigative journalists that care deeply about getting to the bottom of things so we can demand real reform and have lasting peace that builds equity in places and is based on mutual respect and ... well ... peace as oppossed to war.

The Repugs that want to "blame" Clinton are not honest players either. I do not support any GOP candidates for anything, except John Buchanan for President.

My reason for exposing these facts and bringing them up now are twofold.

They are relevant to current events. We need to show our candidate that what we support are real reforms, sweeping reforms in US monetary policy and energy policy, and, support them against the CIA/Wall Street/Self Financing War Machine. The pen is still mightier than the sword, so here is the info that convinced me. I'll give it to you in this format and forum and let you decide, and comment.
They show that US foreign policy has a continuity. That the wars we see today have been in planning for years. Well before Bush. My fear is that these policies will continue long after, and, it has to stop. Better we do it as Democratic and free people now then face trying to do it when they are kicking down our doors and hauling us off to secret prisons. If you can justify it being done to Iraqi resistance it won't be long before the bell tolls for you. History shows this ...

A quick run down courtesy Lori Price and the fine folks at Citizens For Legit Gov. I encourage people to sign up for this email list. Lori stays on top of the breaking news, and I've found this to be an excellent service and an excellent source for articles to blog. CLG was started after the 2000 election coup and continues month after month keeping folks updated and linked to the news that matters. Lori coined the term Al-CIA - DUH! Thought I'd share the link, the service and also the News of the Day, which is increasingly shocking, horrifying really, and bizarre.

Will approving the use of dogs a violation of Geneva Convention and a really stupid idea to get intelligence from people (just think if we were pals we would get intelligence and a free lunch too,) be the downfall of GWB? There are no higher crimes than war crimes. Think about it: helpless civilians tortured by people in the ultimate position of power. Its a legal matter, from now on! My dog has weighed in, expressing her outrage at the use of her species to further the cause of Hate and War ... could man's best friend save the world from the terror team in the White House?

Speaking of which, the White House is now a crime scene. We need to indict Bush on these war crimes charges, shut down the whole operation and treat the White House as a crime scene before the criminals are alowed to investigate themselves again, pardon each other, and destroy crucial evidence.

In my previous diary entry entitled Conspiracy 101. I laid out very simply the barebones of a conspiracy. What it entails i.e. more than one person involved in a crime.

I then very simply showed that profiling for a crime that involves a conspiracy is different then that for a crime by a single person.

Motive for crimes involving conspiracy especially conspiracy to murder vary; However, political assassination is very rarely the work of lone nuts. Certainly the ones that get thwarted are. The ones that are effective involve a conspiracy to stand down the forces usually responsible for protecting the leader. Often in foreign countries these palace guards have been trained at American facilities by the CIA. Political assassination is easy if you own the palace guard. We are putting these measures in place this very instant in Iraq. Allawi a known CIA asset is training the security for the new government. This same pattern is seen over and over, modus operendi. Of course here the politician is some buildings and the weapon some airplanes.

The prosecution does not have to prove motive. That said juries like to see it, and, in the case of 9-11, such a heinous act, even for the fascist regime of the CIA, and their tool/patsy Bush and the "neocons," its hard to imagine anyone doing this. We need, I believe, a strong and clear motive or set of motives for the jury of our peers to review. Read More
