Tony Blair heading for more hot water? Well, figure this out:

There has been massive confusion over a denial made by the Israelis that the Scotland Yard had warned the Israeli Embassy in London of possible terrorist attacks "minutes before" the first bomb went off July 7. Israel warned London of the attacks a "couple of days ago," but British authorities failed to respond accordingly to deter the attacks, according to an unconfirmed rumor circulating in intelligence circles. While Israel is keeping quiet for the time-being, British Prime Minister Tony Blair soon will be facing the heat for his failure to take action."

Don't know what to make of this. Ideas?

Update [2005-7-7 15:16:22 by krag]: This diary is being torn apart by crazies. Really weird. I thought this article was interesting, but I've got this frothing brigade of nutbags and Israeli shills harassing me. Whatever, if you too have been slandered by the Israeli amen corner at Dkos you know the drill. I recommend people who can't trust Dkos because of this stuff check out uncensored news sources:

UPDATE III: Essentially all of my responses to the hysterical slander I've been subjected to for this diary have been deleted. It's one thing to disagree with me, it's another to silence my words to try and marginalize me. To any and all who deleted my replies I want to say that you are cowards and slanderers.

So PNAC prime-mover Benjamin Netanyahu changed his plans due to warning minutes before the attack.

[Netanyahu] had planned to attend an economic conference in a hotel over the subway stop where one of the blasts occurred, and the warning prompted him to stay in his hotel room instead, government officials said

"A hotel over the subway stop where one of the blasts occurred". How amazingly coincidental! How fantastically convenient! What are the odds!? My guess? Bush uses this event to ram Bolton through. Israel may have grown tired of waiting for the Iran war to start and needed some dead Americans or British to grease the wheels.

UK - start an investigation. Do not let Netanyahu or any of his Likud thugs out of the country! Read More

Nobel Peace Prize-winning Austrailian physicist Helen Caldicott claims in a newly published interview:

None of the Russian early-warning satellites work. Therefore the Russians are acutely worried that the United States doctrine of pre-emptive war is a real threat to them and it makes them very paranoid, because their satellites to provide them with better warning just do not work.

And that's just the beginning. You might want to sit down, because the "nuclear option" you're currently focused on is a mere hangnail compared to the massive coronary BushCo has brought the world to the brink of... Read More

The Democratic party, as currently constituted, is a party carefully designed to fall over --seemingly at the last gasp-- when the interests of corporations, the military, the surveillance state, or Israel come into conflict with the interests of ordinary Americans.

The Democrats gave George Bush thirty-nine standing ovations at his 2005 State of the Union address

Yes, this party that you spend your time at DailyKos defending, strategizing for and championing, repeatedly stood and cheered a man who less than ninety days earlier stole the Presidency of the United States for the second time in a row.

So sure, I believe the Democrats will win this filibuster fight. They would never allow these ludicrous corporatist judges on the bench! And I believe the Great Pumpkin will appear in my pumpkin patch any .... minute ... now.

Raybin's excellent diary, We Cannot Believe Americans Can Do These Things, offers a chilling reminder of the reality of the bloody madness that comes of a civil war of opposing ideologies. Clearly, most progressives and Democrats are rightfully appalled by the notion of the political divide between right and left escalating at some point to open, violent conflict. The consequences in this day and age of a widespread, violent revolutionary popular movement suppressed with state violence is too terrible to consider. Still, few of us are prepared to suffer life indefinitely under a quasi-fascist, theocratic police state either. What then is to be done?

I have a humble proposal that one and all should feel free to steal, refine and consider. It's called, The People's Government of the United States. Learn about it after the fold. Read More

I have half an idea here and I'm hoping the wider DKos community can find a way to refine it to a more usable precision. The idea basically goes like this:

Assumptions

The only thing our government responds to is Big Money.
Tax resistance doesn't work because too few people want to take on the IRS and besides, that's "the governments money" and no one really feels like they have a stake in it so no one really screams when it goes unpaid.

The Solution: Rent/Mortgage Resistance
Until the Bush administration is held accountable for its many and ongoing crimes Blue America will place all due rent and mortgage payments in escrow until such time as the government responds appropriately. When it does so, and not before, the money is released to America's banks and landlords.

I think this would help move impeachment proceedings along quite nicely, thank you very much. Refinements, por favor!

wmtraillawyer has made his case that talk of impeachment over the "smoking gun" evidence that the British minutes provide should be silenced.

This diary is for supporters of pursuing impeachment of Bush. This is the place to make your argument that the Democratic party must draw the line at this disgraceful disclosure and force the administration's hand.

Recommend this diary, and post your reasons why you believe it is in the best interests of the country the the Democrats pursue impeachment. My reasoning past the fold: Read More

Israeli Agents Provocateurs Disrupt Peace Protest, Test Painful US 'Salt Bullets' on Activists

In a fascinating article, Israeli peace activist Uri Avnery contrasts the ways in which left-wing and right-wing activists were treated by the Israeli government in separate demonstrations just two days ago. He also describes how Israeli agents infiltrate non-violent peace demonstrations and throw rocks at Israeli security forces to provide a pretext for violent crackdowns.

Thus the secret came out and was also documented by the cameras: "Arabized" undercover soldiers had been sent into action. These started throwing stones at the security people in order to provide them with a pretext to attack us. The moment they were uncovered, they turned on the demonstrators nearest to them, drew revolvers, and started to arrest them. Later on, when it became clear that the events had been recorded by foreign television crews, the police officially confirmed that throwing stones is the method used by "Arabized" undercover soldiers so as to merge with the crowd.

Reuters is reporting that U.S. troops, in violation of international law, have allegedly taken the mother and sister of a suspected insurgent hostage in Iraq.

A message purportedly left at the house by the troops, which urged the brothers to surrender, contained a mobile telephone number. This was answered by an American soldier who appeared to be aware of Batawi's accusation but declined further comment.

I have been having a terrible time understanding what drives the right to their rare and often clumsily expressed feelings of compassion and empathy.

From what I am able to tell, right-wing empathy seems to only be evoked in cases where human "blobs" are involved - zygotes, fetuses, persons in vegetative states etc. What empathy and compassion they have clearly stops well short of ordinary, everyday human beings.

What is it about the psychology of the right that rouses them to such fierce and righteous indignation over the perceived rights of blobs? I have a theory. Read on... Read More

No, they just can't help themselves. As the the two-year anniversary of the alleged murder of American peace activist Rachel Corrie is mourned in the United States, the Israeli slander machine has been cranked up yet again. Angela Bertz, writing for Israel Insider, has launched yet another barrage of outright lies, dubious insinuations and disgustingly patronizing goop.

A fascinating and instructive exercise in observing Israeli propaganda at work, I encourage every American to remain on top of what is being said in both Israel and the United States about this American citizen killed by the Israeli government.

Slain American Peace Activist Rachel Corrie

Let Justice Be Done Though the Heavens Fall
Two years ago today, March 16, 2003, according to the sworn affidavits of seven eyewitness, American peace activist Rachel Corrie was murdered in the Palestinian refugee camp of Rafah by members of the Israeli Defense Forces. Subsequently, the corporate-controlled, right-wing media and governments of both the United States and Israel have attempted to ignore, distort, suppress and ultimately whitewash essentially all news of this fact. This morning the state of Israel and the IDF were put on notice by the family of Rachel Corrie that they are going to be forced to answer for the crime. Read More
