The Election Over, Canada Renews Anschluss Talks with US

Austria & Germany before the Anschluss

Germany neither intends nor wishes to interfere in the internal affairs of Austria, to annex Austria, or to conclude an Anschluss.

Adolf Hitler, 21st May 1935

It was surprising that bilateral relations with the U.S. did not play a more prominent role during the recent Canadian election considering that both countries are pursuing a trade and security agreement. In fact, the issue did not really surface until the dying days of the campaign. After winning a much coveted majority government, Stephen Harper’s Conservatives are moving ahead quickly with perimeter security and regulatory harmonization negotiations. NAFTA and the defunct Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP) both addressed issues such as regulatory cooperation. The goal of creating a single unified business-friendly regulatory regime for North America now continues on different fronts.

In the final week of the Canadian election campaign, consumer advocate and four-time candidate for President of the United States, Ralph Nader warned about Canada-U.S. deep integration. In an open letter to Prime Minister Stephen Harper, he raised concerns over the lack of transparency regarding talks between the two countries on a trade and border security deal. Nader cautioned that a, “North American Security Perimeter Agreement will wrap many Canadian concerns — your Arctic, water, energy, anti-monopoly and foreign investment reviews — in a bi-national security blanket.” He added, “The corporatist lobbies and what President Eisenhower warned Americans about in his farewell address 50 years ago — ‘the military-industrial complex’ — will favour this lucrative and anti-democratic initiative.” Nader also explained in his letter to Harper, that, “Canada’s prudent bank regulation prevented a Wall Street style collapse of your economy.” North American deep integration is a corporate led agenda designed to foster privatization and deregulation.

With just days left before the election on May 2, Prime Minister Stephen Harper announced that a re-elected Conservative government would move forward on the Shared Vision for Perimeter Security and Economic Competitiveness signed with U.S. President Barack Obama back in February of this year. ...

NATO's Secret Ground War in Libya

By Mahdi Darius Nazemroaya

Foreign Forces Were on the Ground in Libya prior to any type of U.N. Approval

U.N. Security Council Resolution 1973 only passed, because Moscow and Beijing abstained. This was a tactical move meant to limit the war.

If the resolution had been vetoed by Russia and China, in all likelihood, the U.S., Britain, France, Italy (and the Western European members of NATO) would have resorted to “other means,” including an outright invasion. By abstaining and getting the NATO powers to vocally invest themselves to U.N. Resolution 1973 and to hide behind it, Moscow and Beijing managed to limit the options of the Pentagon and NATO.

The efforts of Moscow and Beijing, however, have not hindered Washington and its NATO allies from breaching international law or U.N. Resolution 1973. Washington has casually admitted that the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) was on the ground supporting rebel forces. According to Washington, the involvement of U.S. intelligence agents in Libya started as soon as the U.S. embassy in Tripoli was closed. [1] February 25, 2011, is the date that the U.S. embassy in Tripoli was reported as being closed. [2] ...

Egyptian Navy Averts Isaeli Attach on Gaza Relief Ship, the Spirit of Rachel Corrie

By Prof. Michel Chossudovsky

The Spirit of Rachel Corrie (officially known as FINCH) carrying a humanitarian cargo to Gaza was attacked by an Israeli naval patrol within the so-called Palestinian Security Zone on May 15, at 10.54pm EDT.

In the course of the last few hours, Global Research has communicated several times with the Rachel Corrie vessel en route to Gaza. What is provided below is a detailed update. An earlier article was posted at 12.30am EDT  

The vessel left the Greek Port of Piraeus, on Wednesday, May 11. The humanitarian initiative is sponsored by the Perdana Global Peace Foundation (PGPF), chaired by the former Prime Minister of Malaysia Mahathir Mohamad.

Participating in this mission are anti-war activists and journalists, consisting of 7 Malaysians, 2 Irish, 2 Indians and 1 Canadian. The Centre for Research on Globalization (CRG) is a partner in this endeavor. Global Research`s Julie Lévesque is on board the Rachel Corrie:

The cargo ship The Spirit of Rachel Corrie (officially known as FINCH) is carrying 7.5 kilometers of UPVC (plastic) sewage pipes to help restore the devastated sewerage system in Gaza. The ship was named after the courageous American activist who was crushed and killed by an Israeli bulldozer in 2003 while trying to prevent the demolition of another Palestinian home. She died at 23. ( Perdana's Second Press Release, Nakba and the Spirit of Rachel Corrie: Humanitarian Ship Attacked by Israel now within 1.5 nautical miles of Gazan Waters  Global Research, May 16, 2011)

The Spirit of Rachel Corrie entered Gazan waters without being detected.

The Israeli navy with its radar equipment and advanced communications technology was unaware of the Spirit of Rachel Corrie Mission.

They were unprepared.  They had received no prior information of the Rachel Corrie Mission, which had been planned for several months, scheduled to arrive off the coast of Gaza on the day of the "Nakba" commemoration. 

Ironically, Mossad, Israel's intelligence agency was unaware of this mission. The Israeli navy vessels acted in an improvised fashion, without prior knowledge or intelligence. There was no indication that they had received precise instructions from the Israeli government.

At the time of the attack, the passengers on board were under the impression that the ship was still in international waters, when in fact is was one mile inside the "Palestinian Security zone", namely in Gaza territorial waters, within a short distance of the Gaza coastline. This was an important accomplishment. 

Indicated below is the initial report sent to Global Research by text message:

At 10.54 pm Eastern Time (EDT), the Spirit of Rachel Corrie was intercepted by an Israeli ship and a Egyptian ship in international waters [correction: within Gaza Territorial waters]

10:54pm EDT, Gaza 5:54am: We have been intercepted by Israeli ship and Egyptian ship. We are disobeying the orders and sailing ahead to Gaza.

10:57pm EDT, Gaza 5:57am: One Israeli warship coming to us very fast! We are in international waters, therefore they have no right to attack us. We are still sailing ahead.

10:59pm EDT, Gaza 5:59am: They are opening fire across our ship! We are still sailing ahead.

11:09pm EDT, Gaza 6:09am: They are shooting all over the place. We can't continue ...

11:35pm EDT, Gaza 6:35am: They circled our ship twice and fired across our ship. Machine guns. No one was injured. One of the fishing nets caught the propeller, so we can't move now.

11:37pm EDT, Gaza 6:37am: The Israeli ship was coming from one end and the Egyptian ship was coming from another end. Firing. We are just stalled now. Everybody is okay. No one is injured.

Two Israeli naval vessels initially launched a "warning attack" on the Rachel Corrie, indicating that if the ship did not change course, they would shoot at the crew and the passengers. One of the passengers was almost killed as a result of the attacks. (See Bernama, May 16, 2011)

The following exchange took place between the Israeli navy and the ship as reported by the Free Malaysia Today journalist on board the Spirit of Rachel Corrie:

"Israeli army: This is a warning shot. Turn around.
Captain Jalil Mansor: We are unarmed civilians on a humanitarian mission to Gaza.

Israeli army: This is a closed military zone. It’s a violation. Turn around.
Mansor: We will continue (the mission).
The Israelis then headed to the back of the aid vessel and released a second warning shot into the air.
Graham: This is a violation (of international law). We are on a peaceful mission and unarmed.
Israeli army: Turn around. We will fire again.

Graham: You are firing towards unarmed civilians.
Israeli army: We didn’t fire towards unarmed civilians.
Graham: Looks like firing towards us.
Israeli army: We didn’t fire towards you. That is only a warning shot.
Following that conversation, the Israeli army fired two more shots and threatened: “Next time, we will land on your ship.”
Then the Egyptian navy was heard telling the Israelis on the radio: “Stop firing. They are in Egyptian waters.”
Upon realising the presence of Egyptian naval forces, the Israelis departed." (Free Malaysia Today, http://www.freemalaysiatoday.com/2011/05/16/israel-fires-warning-shots-at-msian-ship/ May 16, 2011)

Fukushima Catastrophe Far From Over

By Chris Martensen

Sunday, May 15, 2011, 3:52 pm, by cmartenson

Well, it now turns out that many of my worst fears about Fukushima have been confirmed with the news that TEPCO has finally admitted that Reactor #1 has experienced a meltdown event that may have breached the primary containment vessel. Further, truly alarming levels of radiation are now being reported in and around Tokyo.

The prospects for containing the situation at Reactor #1 are now much dimmer than previously admitted. A melted core is far more difficult to cool because the geometry of the slag heap at the bottom is not nearly as favorable as long thin tubes around which water can be relatively easily circulated.
Worse, if the slag has either melted through the primary containment vessel or somehow leaked out through a fitting that has failed, then the ability to circulate water is even more compromised....

Britain's Sellerfield nuclear

According to this news report, five men whose actions aroused suspicion outside Britain’s Sellafield nuclear plant were arrested on Monday, May 2.

The five men, who all live in London and are of Bangladeshi origin, were detained just hours after Mr. bin Laden’s death was announced.

According to the Civil Nuclear Constabulary (CNC), which polices Britain’s nuclear facilities, the men were stopped as part of a routine patrol near the perimeter of the Sellafield plant and were “unable to give a satisfactory account of their actions.” They were arrested under the Terrorism Act and questioned, then released without charge. ...

Banksters and the New World Order

Cecil Rhodes

An Introduction To: None Dare Call It Conspiracy By Gary Allen and Larry Abraham

This book, said to have sold five million copies when published in 1972, is now available online, edited and nicely formatted by the Modern History Project.

The conspiracy to which the book's title alludes -- a purported plan to create a global socialist state controlled at the apex by international bankers -- appears to have little connection with reality, but no doubt, in its time, it served the right-wing Republican cause by promoting anti-Soviet paranoia and mobilizing opinion against the expansion of the American welfare state.

This political purpose detracts from what is otherwise an illuminating review of the role of a small Anglo-American elite, comprising both bankers and political figures associated with Cecil Rhodes' secret society and its public manifestations (the Round Table Groups throughout the British Empire, the Council on Foreign Relations in America, and internationally, since 1954, the Bilderberger group) in dictating the course of world events during the first two-thirds of the twentieth century.

In fact, the ruling class in both Britain and America had, for the most part, a visceral loathing for communists. That they nevertheless facilitated the Bolshevik revolution, thereby prolonging the First World War and bringing America into that conflict, was consistent with both the bankers' pursuit of profit and the drive of those inspired by Rhodes to bring about a World government.

By financing the revolutionaries, the bankers placed themselves in a position to deal profitably with the Communists thereafter, gaining access to Soviet oil and other resources and becoming intermediaries in the supply of western technology to the Soviet regime. It also placed them in a position, when the time was ripe, to promote the disintegration of the regime and to take advantage of the massive redistribution of wealth that occurred during the collapse.

By broadening and extending World War 1, the globalists hoped to create the conditions for a World Government. However, after the war, the United States Congress refused to ratify American participation in the League of Nations, the world body arising from the ashes of the global conflagration that was to serve as the precursor to a World government. Thus arose the need for a resumption of the conflict, as occurred in 1939.

Today, we see the full flowering of the globalists' plan for World Government as the US-backed, post-WW2 United Nations authorizes the subjugation of one nation after another by the NATO block.

Europe's New Genocide

By CanSpeccy

Raphael Lemkin, A Polish Jew

coined the term Genocide

Genocide is as European as civilization: five or six million Jews, six or eight million Ukranians, twenty to forty million Russian victims of Stalinist autogenocide, to name just recent incidents.

Today genocide is underway in Europe on the most massive scale yet, the entire destruction of the ancient peoples of Europe through mass immigration.

The other day, I reproduced here, a post from Jewamongyou's (JAY) blog entitled, Europe is Doomed. My post has since been removed by Blogger for, so far as I am aware, technical reasons, although disconcertingly, immediately before it disappeared an anonymous commenter had, beside the routine politically correct accusation of racism, idiocy, and general vileness, threatened to "get rid of this dreadful crap."

Quite what "crap" he found dreadful, whether the particular post or the entire content of this undoubtedly crappy blog, I am not sure. But in any case, if the post had not just then disappeared, I would have responded as follows:

China to Replace Bin Laden As Amerika's Enemy No. 1?

By Paul Craig Roberts

George Orwell, the pen name by which Eric Blair is known, had the gift of prophecy, or else blind luck. In 1949 in his novel, 1984, he described the Amerika of today and, I fear, also his native Great Britain, which is no longer great and follows Washington, licking the jackboot and submitting to Washington’s hegemony over England and Europe and exhausting itself financially and morally in order to support Amerikan hegemony over the rest of the world. 

In Orwell’s prophecy, Big Brother’s government rules over unquestioning people, incapable of independent thought, who are constantly spied upon. In 1949 there was no Internet, Facebook, twitter, GPS, etc. Big Brother’s spying was done through cameras and microphones in public areas, as in England today, and through television equipped with surveillance devices in homes. As everyone thought what the government intended for them to think, it was easy to identify the few who had suspicions.

American Dumbocracy

By CanSpeccy

The only reason Americans can look themselves in the mirror is that they are clueless and have little idea of what is being done in their name. One-third of the U.S. population actually believes that Iraq was behind 9/11 and that Bush found the weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Apparently, a large percentage of the U.S. population believes that Iran has nuclear weapons and that America is in danger of being attacked by Iran. No democracy can work when people take their responsibility as citizens so lightly as to be totally ignorant.

Bush supporters dismiss anyone who tells them the truth as a traitor.  Bush supporters are as dependent on propaganda as substance abusers are  on drugs and alcohol. Try weaning Bush supporters from the obvious lies  that are the basis of this administration, and they will call you every  name in the book.

They are proud to be Americans. Lies and war crimes are an American right.

And you had better shut up or those Halliburton-built concentration camps will be your new home.

Paul Craig Roberts

When Bush lost his 1978 run for Congress from West Texas against an opponent who stressed Bush's two Ivy League degrees, Bush resolved never to allow himself to be "outdumbed again."

How brilliantly Bush has succeeded. He is supported by that third of the population, and only that third, that believes his obvious lies. Anyone who knows anything, despises Bush as a war criminal and a liar.

Even the lying New York Times and the War Mongering Washington Post, even, probably, Canada's own disgusting National Pustule and its ZioCon affiliates, acknowledge that Bush's claims about Iraq's WMD, about Saddam being behind 9/11, about Saddam and the Niger "yellow cake" were all lies. When cornered, even Bush has admitted this.

Yet approximately a third of American voters still believe these stupid, transparent and vicious lies. Bush leads an administration based on lies and supported exclusively by ignoramuses and morons. What can you call a government like that? American Dumbocracy?

Pakistan Military Knew About Bin Laden Raid Well In Advance Of Attack

Evidence is now emerging that the Pakistani government and military not only knew of America’s plans to launch an attack on Osama bin Laden’s compound far in advance, but assisted the United States in the effort.
According to GlobalPost, the Pakistan government’s willingness to continue the narrative that they were caught totally by surprise is in response to their fear of a popular backlash among the Pakistani people were they to know that their government and military had helped the Americans execute the raid.

One senior military official, who asked not to be named because he is not permitted to speak to the press, said that Pakistani army troops were in fact providing backup support when the United States began its operations inside the compound where bin Laden had been staying, including sealing off the neighborhood where the compound was located.”
Via Global Post

Adding further support to the notion that Pakistan was in on the mission, a number of local residents have confirmed to the BBC that they were visited by Pakistani army personnel two hours before the attack commenced, ordering them to switch off the lights inside and outside their homes and instructing them to stay indoors until they were informed it was safe to come out. ...

Americans Are Living In 1984

The White House’s “death of bin Laden” story has come apart at the seams. Will it make any difference that before 48 hours had passed the story had changed so much that it no longer bore any resemblance to President Obama’s Sunday evening broadcast and has lost all credibility?

So far it has made no difference to the once-fabled news organization, the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), which on May 9, eight days later, is still repeating the propaganda that the SEALs killed bin Laden in his Pakistani compound, where bin Laden lived next door to the Pakistani Military Academy surrounded by the Pakistani army.

US Higher Education Bubble Next to Burst

Source: National Inflation Association

The National Inflation Association (NIA) is pleased to officially announce that it will soon be releasing its hour long documentary 'College Conspiracy', which will expose the U.S. college education system as the largest scam in U.S. history. NIA has been producing 'College Conspiracy' for the past six months and plans to release the movie on May 15th. NIA members will be given the first opportunity to watch this must see documentary, which we hope will change the college education industry for the better.

NIA expects 'College Conspiracy' to take college education by storm and expose the facts and truth about tuition inflation to prospective college students. Almost everybody applying to college has heard the oft-repeated statistic that Americans with college degrees earn $1 million more in lifetime income than high school graduates without a degree. This is one of those statistics that gets repeated so many times that just about everybody accepts it as fact, but nobody actually does the research to confirm whether or not it is true. 'College Conspiracy' will prove once and for all if indeed this so-called statistic is true or just a myth.

If 70.1% of high school graduates enroll in a college or university, how does a college degree give you an advantage over the rest of the population? Back in the early 1960s, Americans didn't need to go to college. We were a creditor nation with a strong manufacturing base. With an unemployment rate of only 5%, jobs were available to almost everybody. Less than 50% of American high school graduates enrolled into college. For those who did attend college and graduate with a degree, it was actually something special that made you stand out from the rest of the field, because not everybody had one.

36 Statistics Which Prove That The American Middle Class Is Targeted for Destruction

The U.S. middle class is being shredded, ripped apart and systematically wiped out.  If you doubt this, just check out the statistics below.  The American Dream is being transformed into an absolute nightmare.  Once upon a time, the rest of the world knew that most Americans were able to live a middle class lifestyle.  Most American families had nice homes, most American families had a car or two, most American families had nice clothes, most American families had an overabundance of food and most American families could even look forward to sending their children to college if that is what the kids wanted to do.  There was an implicit promise that this was the way that it was always going to be.  Most of us grew up believing that if we worked really hard in school and that if we stayed out of trouble and that if we did everything that "the system" told us to do that there would be a place for us in the middle class too.  Well, it turns out that "the system" is breaking down.  There aren't enough good jobs for all of us anymore.  In fact, there aren't very many crappy jobs either.  Millions are out of work, millions have lost their homes and nearly all of the long-term economic trends just keep getting worse and worse.  So is there any hope for the U.S. middle class?
No, there is not.
Unless fundamental changes are made economically, financially and politically, the long-term trends that are destroying the U.S. middle class will continue to do so.
The number of good jobs has been declining for a long time.  The good jobs that have been lost are being replaced by a smaller number of low paying "service jobs".
Meanwhile, the cost of everything is going up.  It is getting really hard for American families to be able to afford to put food on the table and to put gas in the tank.  Health care costs are absolutely outrageous and college tuition is now out of reach for millions of American families.
Every single month more American families fall out of the middle class.  Today there are 18 million more Americans on food stamps than there were just four years ago.  More than one out of every five U.S. children is living in poverty.  Things are getting really, really bad out there.
The following are 36 statistics which prove that the American Dream is turning into an absolute nightmare for the middle class....
#1 The competition for decent jobs in America has gotten absolutely insane.  There have been reports of people actually getting down on their knees and begging for jobs.  Many Americans are starting to wonder if they will ever get a decent job again.  According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average duration of unemployment in the United States is now an all-time record 39 weeks....

#2 According to the Wall Street Journal, there are 5.5 million Americans that are unemployed and yet are not receiving unemployment benefits.
#3 The number of "low income jobs" in the U.S. has risen steadily over the past 30 years and they now account for 41 percent of all jobs in the United States.
#4 Only 66.8% of American men had a job last year.  That was the lowest level that has ever been recorded in all of U.S. history.
#5 Once upon a time, anyone could get hired at McDonald's.  But today McDonald's turns away a higher percentage of applicants than Harvard does.  Approximately 7 percent of all those that apply to get into Harvard are accepted.  At a recent "National Hiring Day" held by McDonald's only about 6.2 percent of the one million Americans that applied for a job were hired.
#6 There are now about 7.25 million fewer jobs in America than when the recession began back in 2007. ...

Yo! Conform or Die?

Source: YaYa Canada, May 10, 2011

Contributor: "Yo Momma"

It requires extreme mental fortitude to go against hard-wiring, and conformity is hard-wired because it can help us survive as members of "society".

Each time the US government presents the public with "evidence" that they bagged Osama, it becomes increasingly obvious that it's a hoax. And yet the US government each time is increasingly more forceful in its determination that the public accept it as truth. People who openly question are insulted and ridiculed. It seems the US government's attitude is shut up and accept it.

This all reminds me of a really good video about the effect the need for conformity has on perception: If you show 20 people a picture of an apple and ask them what they see and 19 have been instructed to say "pear", the 20th person will likely say apple at first.

If you repeat this long enough the 20th person will eventually give in to popular opinion and will say pear just to be accepted as one of the group.

The media are flooding us with disinformation and mocking anyone who questions it because they know that the need to conform will eventually kick in and the majority of people will accept it as truth.

I also think they used the same tactic with the assassination of JFK, Bobby Kennedy and MLK. They told everyone the apple was in fact a pear - over and over - until finally everyone saw a pear.

Media Scrambles as Bin Laden Story Crumbles

By Alex Newman
The New American, May 6, 2011

While the establishment media was busy parroting President Obama’s announcement of Osama bin Laden’s supposed assassination, reporting the unsubstantiated claims as if they were unquestionable facts, much of the so-called “alternative” press was far more cautious — and accurate, it turns out. But more importantly, with the new official storyline indicating that bin Laden was in fact unarmed, bigger and much more important questions are beginning to emerge. In terms of coverage, it turns out that the skeptical approach proved far superior in terms of getting it right. Countless mainstream sources were so confident in Obama’s word that they reported many of the claims as fact without even attributing them to the President.

But the official White House narrative has been changed so many times in recent days that now it’s almost unrecognizable. There wasn‘t even a fire fight; yet this was one of the crucial elements of the original story that justified the assassination of a person the government painted as the most valuable source of information on the planet — the leader of al-Qaeda. And in reporting the statements as fact, the establishment press has officially been left with egg all over its face again.

"[Bin Laden] was engaged in a firefight with those that entered the area of the house he was in," said terror czar John Brennan. Similarly, Obama said that “after a firefight, they killed Osama bin Laden and took custody of his body.” The next day, however, the White House spokesman admitted bin Laden “was not armed." Trying to save face and justify the killing of an unarmed man, the spokesman added, without elaborating, that “resistance does not require a firearm."

More than a few other important parts of the storyline have been altered, contradicted, or simply exposed as false, too. Everything from which of  bin Laden’s sons was supposedly killed to the claim that his wife was killed after being used as a “human shield” — all of it has changed for some reason or another. The transcript after Brennan’s speech was altered to change the name of the dead son. The new and improved narrative now says that not only was bin Laden’s wife not killed, but that she was not used as a human shield.

Originally the White House also suggested top officials watched the raid live through a video feed. Terror czar Brennan, for example, claimed that they “had real-time visibility into the progress of the operation.” CIA boss Leon Panetta later exposed that claim as false ...

Global Integrity Report lowers Canadian federal government's score from 80 to 75

OTTAWA - Today, Global Integrity released its 2010 Global Integrity
Report which dropped Canada from 11th to 19th out of the almost 100
countries evaluated since 2007.  The Report is the world's most
comprehensive, detailed assessment (using more than 300 indicators)
of national government accountability, integrity and democratic
process, and measures the strength of key laws and enforcement
records up to the end of 2010.

"As the Global Integrity Report makes clear, Canada's federal
government has significant loopholes in its democratic process and
government accountability systems when compared to other countries,
and weak enforcement in many areas, and so has a lot of work to do
to become the world's leading democracy," said Duff Conacher, Lead
Researcher for the Canada report, and Coordinator of Democracy Watch
and Assistant Coordinator of the Democracy Education Network.
"Government integrity continues to be undermined by loopholes that
allow for dishonesty, secret donations to some candidates and to
political party trust funds, conflicts of interest by policy-makers,
excessive government secrecy, secret, unethical lobbying, and is
also undermined by Cabinet patronage appointments, arbitrary
election calls and a flawed voting system, and lack of Prime
Minister, judicial and Senate accountability and weak whistleblower
protection and government accountability lapdog agencies."

How stupid people win debates

By CanSpeccy

If you are a total ignoramus, but wish to win a debate, here's how:



Notice, first, that Jim Corrs and Lord Christopher Monckton, however deluded they may be, offer arguments in support of the positions they take: Jim Corrs' that 9/11 could not have happened the way the US Government said it happened; Lord Monckton's that the UN International Panel on Climate Change has exaggerated the immediate threat of global warming due to anthropogenic carbon emissions. Then notice how taking this facts-plus-logic approach proved to be a disastrous blunder, as the subsequent total repudiation of their views demonstrates.

In response to Lord Monckton, an Irish Green Party representative first:

irrelevantly talks about Lord Monckton's association with Margaret Thatcher, whose visceral hatred of IRA terrorists no doubts earned her few admirers in the Republic of Ireland;

Kidnapping, Torture, and Reflections on Alleged "American Values"

I do not agree with using torture, nor do I believe the end justifies the means. The problem with both is that others can act the same way.

If the US can torture to extract vital information, then why can't Iran and every other country on the planet?

It is pure hypocrisy to think that the US has a monopoly on "justified torture". Indeed, there is no such thing as "justified torture".

This has been my position forever. I bring it up because of a post Barry Ritholtz made yesterday stipulating “Torture didn’t provide useful, meaningful, trustworthy information”

“Torture [at the Guantanamo Bay detention camp] didn’t provide useful, meaningful, trustworthy information. Everyone [at the CIA] was deeply concerned and most felt it was un-American and did not work.” - Glenn L. Carle, a retired C.I.A. officer who oversaw the interrogation of a high-level detainee in 2002

“The bottom line is this: If we had some kind of smoking-gun intelligence from waterboarding in 2003, we would have taken out Osama bin Laden in 2003. It took years of collection and analysis from many different sources to develop the case that enabled us to identify this compound, and reach a judgment that Bin Laden was likely to be living there.” - Tommy Vietor, spokesman for the National Security Council.

Khalid Shaikh Mohammed was waterboarded 183 times — repeatedly misled interrogators about the courier’s identity. ...

Barry Ritholtz went on to say "Thinking that torture is wrong is not a liberal or conservative value — it is an American value."

I sure wish Barry was correct. Sadly he is not, at least right now. Both president Bush and president Obama have condoned torture....

Pakistan Warns US Over Airspace

US then promptly murders 8 Pakistanis in drone attack
by Tony Cartalucci

Source: The Land Destroyer Blog, Friday May 6, 2011
 
Bangkok, Thailand May 6, 2011 - Much to Wired writer Spencer Ackerman's credit, amidst the first several paragraphs of his article, "First Drone Strikes Since Bin Laden Raid Hit Pakistan, Yemen," it is noted that after Pakistan's warnings and demands that the US cease and desist from violating its airspace, the US's subsequent drone attacks made the Pakistanis "look either complicit — and, hence, hypocritical — or incompetent." While the article continues by covering the official narrative citing the Soros-funded New American Foundation and the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies' propagandist mouthpiece "Long War Journal," this initial moment of clarity strikes at the very center of America's use of drone attacks in Pakistan.

The global corporate-financiers that fund organizations like the New American Foundation and the FDD are quite clear in regards to their designs regarding Pakistan, and indeed all sovereign nations on earth outside their sphere of military and economic hegemony. Selig Harrison of the Soros funded Center for International Policy has published two pieces specifically calling for carving off Pakistan's Baluchistan province, not as part of a strategy to win the "War on Terror," but as a means to thwart growing relations between Islamabad and Beijing. ...

The Agendas Behind the bin Laden News Event

By Paul Craig Roberts
Source: LewRockwell.com

The US government’s bin Laden story was so poorly crafted that it did not last 48 hours before being fundamentally altered. Indeed, the new story put out on Tuesday by White House press secretary Jay Carney bears little resemblance to the original Sunday evening story. The fierce firefight did not occur. Osama bin Laden did not hide behind a woman. Indeed, bin Laden, Carney said, "was not armed."

Bin Laden was captured alive and then executed, 'claims daughter, 12'

Osama Bin Laden's daughter has claimed he was captured alive in his Pakistani hideout and then shot by U.S. special forces, it was reported today.

Arabic news network Al-Arabiya quoted 'senior Pakistani security officials' who said the 12-year-old saw her father executed and his body dragged to a helicopter.

A Pakistani official rejected U.S. accounts of a bloody firefight, saying: 'Not a single bullet was fired from the compound at the U.S. forces and their choppers. Their chopper developed some technical fault and crashed and the wreckage was left on the spot.' ...

FBI says, it has “No hard evidence connecting Bin Laden to 9/11”

The Atlantic May 3 201

 The White House Tuesday blamed "the fog of war" for conflicting statements in its recounting of the events surrounding the Abbottabad raid that killed Osama bin Laden, but the history of misstatements from U.S. government officials about various combat operations raises questions about whether briefers also were subjecting us to a counterterrorism strategy and not just completely confused in their initial statements.
Consider the narrative put forward by John Brennan ...

Bin Laden killed by masked men speaking fluent Pashtu

By Peter Osborne
The Telegraph 03 May, 2011

...Many I spoke to believed that the feared ISI – the intelligence arm of the Pakistan state – must have known that the Khans’ safe house, scarcely a kilometre from the Pakistan military academy, harboured the world’s most wanted man. In the end bin Laden may have been turned in by his captors in a grand bargain between America and Pakistan.

Mohammed Qasim, the farmer’s boy, was caught up in the momentous events that led to bin Laden’s death in the early hours of Sunday. He said that one of the US special forces helicopters landed in the field just behind his house. Masked men emerged — Qasim said they spoke fluent Pashtu.

He heard them smash their way into the Khans’ fortress, followed by the cries of alarm from women and children. Twenty minutes later, he heard the helicopters depart, bearing with them all of the reclusive Khan family, and the body of bin Laden. ...

How the US Blew An Earlier Chance to Get Their Hands on OBL, America's Most Wanted

Canada Divides on Question of Sovereignty

Yesterday, Quebecers abandoned the Bloc. The Bloc was the sovereigntist successor to the Quebec wing of the Tory party. But the commitment of the Tories to North American Union offered no comfort to Quebec nationalists and thus undermined the credibility of the Bloc with its informal alignment with the national Conservative Party.

The Liberal Party of Pierre Trudeau, which offered Quebecers a national home within a sovereign Canada, no longer exists, the Paul Martin - Michael Ignatieff Liberals having joined the globalists. A Liberal, today, is as ready to send Canadian forces to fight for the New World Order or invite US law enforcement agencies to operate on Canadian soil as any Tory. Thus the Liberal Party, no less than the Tory Party, represents eventual death to the Quebec nation and Canadian sovereignty.

With no alternative, Quebecers voted en masse for the NDP, thereby making that Province the power base for the official opposition. For the first time, the Harper Tories face an opposition that must, if it is to succeed, speak for the Quebec nation within a sovereign Canada.

It will be interesting to see whether the rump of the Liberal Party will join the NDP. Former Liberal cabinet minister and Ontario NDP Premier, Bob Ray will surely consider the option, as may Justin Trudeau, whose father convinced so many Quebecers that their nation had a secure home within Canada.

It will be interesting to see how Harper responds to the new alignment of forces. To cleave to the globalist line will cause increasing polarization in Canada. However, now that he has a safe majority in Parliament, we may find that his agenda is not quite what we thought.

Obama watched Bin Laden Die, and Related Propaganda, Misdirection and Lies

President Obama was watching on a TV screen as a commando gunned down Osama bin Laden. Via a video camera fixed to the helmet of a U.S. Navy Seal, the leader of the free world saw the terror chief shot in the left eye.

The Seal then carried out what is known in the military as a ‘double tap’ – shooting him again, probably in the chest, to make certain he was dead.

The footage of the battle in Bin Laden’s Pakistani hideout – which played out like an episode of 24 – is said to show one of his wives acting as a human shield to protect him as he blasted away with an AK47 assault rifle.

She died, along with three other men, including one of Bin Laden’s sons. Within hours, the Al Qaeda leader’s body was buried at sea.

See Aangirfan on the Osama Death Fake

Oops!  Original Whitehouse Report on Death of OBL was just lies.

The White House backed away Monday evening from key details in its narrative about the raid that killed Osama bin Laden, including claims by senior U.S. officials that the Al Qaeda leader had a weapon and may have fired it during a gun battle with U.S. forces.

Officials also retreated from claims that one of bin Laden’s wives was killed in the raid and that bin Laden was using her as a human shield before she was shot by U.S. forces ...

Actually, OBL was unarmed but we shot him, anyhow. Wife shot in leg, only

...White House press secretary Jay Carney acknowledged that bin Laden did not have a weapon even though administration officials have said that bin Laden resisted during the 40-minute raid. Bin Laden was shot in the head and in the chest during the encounter.

Carney said bin Laden's wife "rushed the U.S. assaulter" and was shot in the leg but not killed, contrary to what a White House official said on Monday. ...

Can US Offer Final Proof Of Osama's Death?

... The fact his body was buried at sea has so far only added to the speculation ...

Under Islamic law, people can only be buried at sea if they died there, or if there is a risk their body will be exhumed or dug up if buried in the ground.

The release of a photograph purporting to show bin Laden's corpse - which was later confirmed to be a fake - added to the confusion. ...

Paul Craig Roberts: Osama Bin Laden's Useful Death

... How many Americans will have the wits to wonder why the "terror mastermind" – who defeated not merely the CIA and the FBI, but all 16 US intelligence agencies along with Israel’s Mossad and the intelligence services of NATO, who defeated NORAD, the National Security Council, the Pentagon and Joint Chiefs of Staff, the US Air Force, and Air Traffic Control, who caused security procedures to fail four times in US airports in one hour on the same day, who caused the state-of-the-art Pentagon air defenses to fail, and who managed to fly three airliners into three buildings with pilots who did not know how to fly – has not pulled off any other attack in almost ten years? Do Americans really believe that a government’s security system that can so totally fail when confronted with a few Saudi Arabians with box cutters can renew itself to perfection overnight?...

Chinese Workers at iPad Factories Must Sign Pledge

You are NOT allowed to commit suicide

Factories making sought-after Apple iPads and iPhones in China are forcing staff to sign pledges not to commit suicide, an investigation has revealed.

At least 14 workers at Foxconn factories in China have killed themselves in the last 16 months as a result of horrendous working conditions.

Many more are believed to have either survived attempts or been stopped before trying at the Apple supplier's plants in Chengdu or Shenzen.

After a spate of suicides last year, managers at the factories ordered new staff to sign pledges that they would not attempt to kill themselves, according to researchers.

And they were made to promise that if they did, their families would only seek the legal minimum in damages.

An investigation of the 500,000 workers by the Centre for Research on Multinational Companies and Students & Scholars Against Corporate Misbehaviour (Sacom) found appalling conditions in the factories.

They claimed that ...

One reason to be thankful for not having an iPad. 

The existence of an Apple slave on the Chinese plantation sounds like that of one of the common people in Europe during the depths of the dark ages. Then, the temptation to commit suicide was so great that, as a deterrent, the church denied a suicide the right to burial in holy ground and required that the body be committed to the earth with a stake driven through the heart. 

Apple Corp. might consider the stake through the heart idea in China.

Osama bin Laden Dead -- Again

US Forces Shoot OBL in Pakistan, Body Dumped in Ocean

The helicopter carrying Navy SEALs malfunctioned as it approached Osama bin Laden’s compound at about 3:30 p.m. ET Sunday, stalling as it hovered. The pilot set it down gently inside the walls, then couldn’t get it going again.

It was a heart-stopping moment for President Barack Obama, who had been monitoring the raid in the White House Situation Room since 1 p.m., surrounded by members of his war cabinet.

“Obviously, everyone was thinking about Black Hawk Down and Desert One,” a senior administration official recalled.

The SEALs disembarked.

“The assault team went ahead and raided the compound, even though they didn’t know if they would have a ride home,” an official said.

The special forces put bombs on the crippled chopper and blew it up, then lifted off in a reinforcement craft just before 4:15 p.m., capping an astounding 40 minutes that gave the United States a tectonic victory in the 10-year war on terror touched off by 9/11.

“The world is safer. It is a better place because of the death of Osama bin Laden,” Obama said at the White House Monday.

The sick chopper turned out to be a tiny wrinkle in an astounding military and intelligence triumph. Bin Laden was shot in the face by the SEALs during a firefight after resisting capture.

Bin Laden’s body was taken to the aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson, and he was buried at sea overnight — less than 12 hours after the raid, officials said. DNA from the remains provided certain confirmation that bin Laden was dead. He was 54. ...

Disposing of the body fast, that was smart. No further questions possible about the identity of the corpse. And quite frankly, after kicking around for ten years, it was not in good shape.

Now the repercussions. More antagonism to the US in the Islamic world. More buggering you about at the airport, obviously. And some huge new atrocity? 

Right on time, fake British terrorist Anjem Choudary is promising another Islamic terror bombing in Britain. Lucky for Britain, these Islamic terrorists are too dumb to think of blowing up the Prime Minister and Cabinet or the City of London, as the IRA did. No, they only think of blowing up some common folks on the tube. Funny thing, that just reinforces public support for the war on terror. 

Paul Craig Roberts: Osama Bin Laden's Second Death

If today were April 1 and not May 2, we could dismiss as an April fool’s joke this morning’s headline that Osama bin Laden was killed in a firefight in Pakistan and quickly buried at sea. As it is, we must take it as more evidence that the US government has unlimited belief in the gullibility of Americans.

Think about it. What are the chances that a person allegedly suffering from kidney disease and requiring dialysis and, in addition, afflicted with diabetes and low blood pressure, survived in mountain hideaways for a decade? If bin Laden was able to acquire dialysis equipment and medical care that his condition required, would not the shipment of dialysis equipment point to his location? Why did it take ten years to find him?

Consider also the claims, repeated by a triumphalist US media celebrating bin Laden’s death, that "bin Laden used his millions to bankroll terrorist training camps in Sudan, the Philippines, and Afghanistan, sending ‘holy warriors’ to foment revolution and fight with fundamentalist Muslim forces across North Africa, in Chechnya, Tajikistan and Bosnia." That’s a lot of activity for mere millions to bankroll (perhaps the US should have put him in charge of the Pentagon), but the main question is: how was bin Laden able to move his money about? What banking system was helping him? The US government succeeds in seizing the assets of people and of entire countries, Libya being the most recent. Why not bin Laden’s? Was he carrying around with him $100 million dollars in gold coins and sending emissaries to distribute payments to his far-flung operations?

This morning’s headline has the odor of a staged event. ...

THE BIN LADEN FAMILY

In 1931, Osama bin Laden's father, Mohammed, set up the the BinLaden Group. The group deals in publishing, banking, construction, property and transport and is worth several billions.

The bin Ladens have connections to top people, including several US presidents. ( Bin Laden family gave $1 million to Carter )

According to French intelligence, during the 1980's, Salem bin Laden helped the Reagan Administration when it secretly arranged for an estimated thirty-four million dollars to be funnelled through Saudi Arabia to the Contras, in Nicaragua. ( Meet The Bin Ladens: Osama's Road to Riches and Terror ... )

Reportedly, in 1979, Osama bin Laden's tutor, Prince Turki al Fayçal al Saud (director of Saudi Arabia secret services from 1977 to August 2001), asked Osama to direct and financially manage the CIA secret operations in Afghanistan.

Alex Jones and Webster Tarpley: Propagating Looney Lies About the British Monarch

If you thought Dr. Webster Griffin Tarpley was a historian, think again.

In this video, Tarpley and Alex Jones compete to spout the most rubbish about the British Parliamentary system of government.

That was two years ago. Since then, they have learned nothing as this discussion arising out of the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton demonstrates.

According to these geniuses, Britain and 15 other countries nominally headed by Britain's constitutional monarch are, in reality as well as in name, largely ruled by the octogenarian great grandmother, Elizabeth Windsor, who Tarpley decribes as a degenerate, psychopathic, genocidal Nazi maniac.

Astounding. They cannot really be that stupid can they? But if not, what propaganda interest do they serve?

For the record (from Wikipedia):

Election Day: Don't Vote. It Only Encourages Them

A vote for the Tories is a vote for:

The abolition of Canada;

American law enforcement agents on Canadian soil;

A choice of X-irradiation or sexual assault at every Canadian airport;

A role for Canadian forces in every globalist war on the face of the Earth.

 A vote for the NDP is a vote to rob Peter to buy Paul's vote. Here's what Jack promises "We'll do" in a flier delivered to my door today:

Hire more doctors and nurses. LOL. The Feds don't hire any doctors or nurses;

Start training more doctors. LOL. The Feds don't train any doctors.

Work with the Provinces to "double you're public pension." LOL. Just one of the ways in which the NDiPs will impose crippling debt and taxes on your kids;

Kick-start job creation with a two percentage point tax cut for small business. Two percent? LOL;

Fix Ottawa for good. We'll stop the scandals. What close the bawdy houses? LOL.

A vote for the Liberals is a vote for a weather vane, an ethics professor with no moral courage:

A man who condemned the bombing of civilian targets in Lebanon as a war crime, only to reverse himself at a hint of Zionist retribution;

A a man who supported the Iraq war while he lived amidst the Zionist warmongers and NeoCons at Harvard, and then changed his mind when the chance arose to lead the Liberal Party of Canada.

As for the Greens, they're a bunch of economic illiterates and trouble makers. In fact, they're nothing more than a religious cult: crazed puritans in disguise.

Our best hope is that the Liberals do so badly that they bring back Jean Chrétien, a man who had the balls to remind George W. Bush that Canada is a sovereign nation -- a man who was perhaps the best conservative Prime Minister Canada ever had.
