Proposal: Reward for “Information leading to the Arrest and Conviction of
George W Bush and Others"
John Mackesy, OrbStandard
Benjamin Franklin said “The only two things in life that are certain are
death and taxes.” There is a third certainty for the American people that
is sure as the sun rising or any law of nature. In the future any day that
the war and occupation of Iraq continues you can say with certainty “It
only gets worse from here.” There is no getting around the basic fact. The
Iraq War was plotted an! d hatched with lies and deceptions, so it is evil
in nature. As long as Americans go along with the war they are accepting
evil and that evil will consume their future and everything that is good
and decent in life...

A Letter to the British People.
Iman AL-Saadun
I’m sending this letter to the British people and in particular to the
residents of London. For a period of hours, you have lived through moments
of desperate anxiety and horror. In those hours you lost a member of your
family or a friend, and we wish to tell you in total honesty that we too
grieve when human lives pass away. I cannot tell you how much we hurt when
we see desperation and pain on the face of another person. For we have
lived through this situation! – and continue to live through it every day –
since your country and the United States formed an alliance and laid plans
to attack Iraq...

Virtual Fascism or the State of Terror
William Bowles, I'n'I
...The planet’s people will not tolerate ‘general wars’ such as WWI and II,
the scars and the memories are still with us. ‘Small’ wars however,
especially when conducted against people of colour in the former colonies
are still permissible but even these, following the defeat in Vietnam for
the US, have to be conducted in a modified form of ‘low intensity warfare’
such as those initiated by Reagan against Nicaragua, Grenada and Panama and
in the new, po! st-Soviet period, against Yugoslavia, which should be
regarded as a ‘dry run’ or testing ground of both military and propaganda
techniques for Iraq and Afghanistan and other points East and South. Enter
‘perpetual war’ against an invisible and entirely fictitious enemy, the
‘terrorist’ and all the better that this new ‘enemy’ is not of the
Christian (read white) persuasion. Centuries of conditioning concerning the
‘superiority’ of the Western way of life has made pretty sure of that...

First 9/11, Then 777: Will Iran be the next Iraq?
William Hughes, MMN
...Finally, the 777 attacks in London may end up having a lot in common
with the highly suspicious 9/11 tragedy in NYC. The War Party used 9/11 as
an excuse for the U.S. to invade and occupy Iraq. Now, I predict, that 777
will be manipulated as well as a pretext by it, along with other bogus
claims, to fulfill its predatory ambitions in the Middle East. Absent
Russia’s intervention as Iran’s protector, the “Shock and Awe” terror show,
so cruell! y perpetrated on Baghdad by U.S. and British forces, will soon
be on its way to Tehran. This latest madness will primarily be made
possible by a deranged War Party; Bush’s poodle, Tony Blair; a mostly
cowardly Congress; a complicit Media; and, of course, those cunning
Neocons...

Iraqi Resistance Report for events of Sunday, 10 July 2005
Translated and/or compiled by Muhammad Abu Nasr, member, editorial board,
the Free Arab Voice.
...Iraqi Resistance fighters shot and killed the puppet so-called “general
director of tourism in Iraq,” Dr. Ahmad Husayn al-Jabburi in an attack on
his motorcade as he headed from his hope in the center of Baghdad to his
office in the high-security headquarters of the US occupation in the
Republican Palace area known to the invaders as the “green zone.” (...) T!
he correspondent noted that the Resistance eliminated Dr. al-Jabburi after
having sent threats to him several days ago, informing him that it was
necessary for him to leave his post and stop contracting with foreign
companies – including “Israeli” ones – that were coming to Iraq to gather
and steal antiquities...

Death And Cynicism
Doug Giebel
Plucky Londoners interviewed on the BBC following the July 7 terrorist
subway and bus bombings noted that the crisis had brought out the best in
people. Strangers rushed to help the injured while some individuals risked
their lives making rescue attempts. Human nature displayed its most noble
characteristics (...) While citizens were acting with courage, were
suffering, dying and grieving, America’s Janus-faced political leaders
extolled that courage and sacrifice while plotting a c! ourse for
undeclared war the seeds of which had been planted long before hijackers
rammed planes and passengers into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and
a lonely Pennsylvania field....

Boy President in a Failed World?
Tom Engelhardt
..."The war on terror goes on..." What a thing to say. We are now in a
destabilizing world, and it will undoubtedly only get worse as George
Bush's "war" to stop terror goes on and on and on. The Bush administration
will never cease to lend a hand -- no matter what it thinks it's doing --
to those evil ones who will take innocent lives without a blink. It is ever
ready to destabilize the oil heartlands of our planet, what not so long ago
was regularly called "the ar! c of instability" (before any of our pundits
really knew what instability was all about). The two countries the Bush
administration has occupied are both dismally failed states effectively
ruled by no one...

The only practical response to the bombs
Xymphora
For the first time in the recent string of terrorist attacks not everyone
is taking the bait and falling into the trap of assuming that the West is
completely innocent, and the terrorists are representative of all Muslims
who are 'Islamofascists' trying to violently convert the whole world to
Islam. The fact that Bush and Blair lied and forced their respective
countries into an unprovoked and illegal war which has killed at least
100,000 Iraqi civilians just might! have something to do with the change in
attitude. It has become a little more difficult to play the role of victim
when you're totally covered in the blood of the innocent...

Novack & Miller - Why They Are Criminals
Jesse, Editor, TvNewsLies
If you want to know why Bob Novack and Judith Miller are real criminals,
and why, as journalists they violated the trust of the people, it is
because they knew that there were people in the White House who committed
treason and they let us vote for this administration without being informed
of that information? Novack is a regular on CNN. They are supposed to be
the most trusted name in news. How do you trust an organization that does
not let you ! know who the criminals in our own government are?...

"My Brother Went Over There Gung Ho; Now He's Just Bitter"
The Horrors Done in Our Name
DAVE LINDORFF, CounterPunch
...Flying out to Oregon last week, I sat next to a man who travels the
country working on repairing railroad track. He said he has a brother who
is a Marine tank commander in Iraq, now on his second tour of duty. I asked
him how it was over there, and he shook his head sadly. "My brother went
over there all gung-ho," he said. "Now, he's just bitter. He says it's not
a war; it's a slaughter! . He says that the people he and his fellows end
up killing are mostly just civilians and he hates the whole thing"...

Hard Choices: Bombing al-Qaeda’s Server in Houston
Kurt Nimmo, Another day in the empire
I’d like to know when the intrepid invaders Bush and Blair will attack
Houston, Texas. If we are to follow the unvarnished logic of the “war on
terrorism,” the United States and Britain will attack terrorists and those
who support terrorists. Qalaah Qalaah in Abu Dhabi runs the al-qal3ah.com
web site and the server for that web site is located in Houston, Texas. As
we know, the al-qal3ah.com site posted a claim taking respons! ibility for
the terror attacks in London. According to Whois, the street address for
Everyones Internet, Inc., the company hosting the site, is 2600 Southwest
Freeway, Suite 500, Houston, Texas...

Secret Plan To Quit Iraq is Total BS
Fintan Dunne, BreakForNews.com
I expect you will see this around the net in days to come. It's a vaporware
smokescreen hyped around the planned redeployment of 3,000 U.K. forces to
Afghanistan (...)Britain and America are secretly preparing to withdraw
most of their troops from Iraq - despite warnings of the grave consequences
for the region, The Mail on Sunday has learned ...

Right-Wing Radio Hosts Go to Iraq
Meet the "Truth Tour"
SETH SANDRONSKY, CounterPunch
To counter the U.S. public's rising distaste for the American-led
occupation of Iraq, some right-wing radio hosts are traveling there for a
"Truth Tour." Finding truth in Iraq to provide the public with is the aim
of these right wingers (...) "There are a lot of stories over there that
aren't being told," said Williams in the July 7 San Francisco Chronicle.
"Hey, if I want to see the enemy's perspective, I'll check out! CBS or
Newsweek"...

A Man for Our Times
The Inevitability of George W. Bush
BEN TRIPP, CounterPunch
With regrets for all the chaos and death and destruction, it was necessary
that George W. Bush should ascend to power and retain it for two terms of
office. He is a singularly giftless man, but he brings one gift to
everyone: disaster. Placed at the pinnacle of the greatest military empire
in human history, its wealth and reach unimaginable in Caesar's day,
equipped with every conceivable advantage that the very most powerfu! l,
influential cabals of rulership and commerce and warmaking can bestow, all
of their collective beneficence concentrated behind his every purpose, yet
he will fail...

Iraqi Resistance Report for events of Saturday, 9 July 2005
Translated and/or compiled by Muhammad Abu Nasr, member, editorial board,
the Free Arab Voice.
...A high-ranking official in the puppet so-called “Iraqi ministry of
planning” who asked to remain anonymous told Mafkarat al-Islam on Saturday
that the puppet “planning mininstry” had decided to postpone sorting ration
cards for Iraqis until after the new so-called “constitution” and the next
farcical “elections” are held. The source said that the reason for ! the
postponement is the fear of the Shi‘i chauvinist politicians whom the
Americans have installed in Iraq that the issuance of ration cards would
reveal the true number of Sunni Arabs in Iraq – a figure that they have
been trying very hard to reduce in official reckonings...

Peripheral London bomb matters
Xymphora
...Robin Cook, the Foreign Secretary who resigned rather than attack Iraq
without a second Security Council resolution (that's the resolution we're
now supposed to believe was entirely unnecessary), has it right: "So long
as the struggle against terrorism is conceived as a war that can be won by
military means, it is doomed to fail. The more the west emphasises
confrontation, the more it silences moderate voices in the Muslim world who
want to speak up for cooperation. Succ! ess will only come from isolating
the terrorists and denying them support, funds and recruits, which means
focusing more on our common ground with the Muslim world than on what
divides us." Sanity is why Robin Cook isn't Foreign Secretary...

London Underground Bombing 'Exercises' Took Place at Same Time as Real Attack
Paul Joseph Watson & Alex Jones/Prison Planet
A consultancy agency with government and police connections was running an
exercise for an unnamed company that revolved around the London Underground
being bombed at the exact same times and locations as happened in real life
on the morning of July 7th. On a BBC Radio 5 interview that aired on the
evening of the 7th, the host interviewed Peter Power, Managing Director of
Visor Consultants, ! which bills itself as a 'crisis management' advice
company, better known to you and I as a PR firm. Peter Power was a former
Scotland Yard official, working at one time with the Anti Terrorist
Branch...

Wave of Attacks Kills Nearly 50 in Iraq
FRANK GRIFFITHS, Associated Press Writer
A man strapped with explosives blew himself up Sunday at a military
recruiting center, one of series of suicide attacks that killed at least 48
people. Five U.S. troops were wounded in a bombing as the prime minister
complained Americans were too quick to fire on civilians deemed suspicious.
The U.S. military, meanwhile, released Iranian-American Cyrus Kar, a
44-year-old aspiring filmmaker from Los Angeles who has been detained in
Ir! aq for nearly two months, officials said...

War on Terror - The Killer Bee Policy
Jesse, Editor, TvNewsLies.org
If a dangerous hive of killer bees were discovered and it is determined
that the bees were going to cause a great deal of harm to the area, the
logical thing to do would be to remove the hive and perhaps kill all the
bees in the process. At the very least we would want to remove their
stingers. Then we would want to keep an eye out for smaller hives and rogue
bees that may develop into threats. If I were to imagine how the Bush/PNAC
administratio! n would handle this type of situation based on their
handling of the “War on Terror” here is what I think their approach would
