` Thursday May 31, 2007 POLITICAL ESSAYS Then And Now ` ` A ` Nearly a year ago in July 2006, an Iraqi Resistance commander stated: ` "What the people of Iraq are doing today is killing, blowing up, and destroying the most powerful army on the face of the earth ` and sooner or later the world media will have to pay attention no matter how reluctant they are.” ` ` B ` On May 9th this year, these two facts about Iraq were restated in an unexpected way...by Putin: ` "..the war did not break our people’s spirit and it gave birth to numerous examples of mass heroism. ` Even as they faced all manner of torment and hard- ship, even as they saw their comrades fall, ` our soldiers nonetheless retained their faith in Vic- tory. ` Millions of people defended the independence and dignity of their country on the fronts and in the rear, ` under occupation and in underground resistance, ` and they proved that a people fighting for its freedom and its very right to live is invincible. ` We bow our heads before their fearlessness and will, before the memory of those whose courage and unity defeated the aggressor and stopped Fascism in its tracks, ` before those who gave our country and the entire world a future." ` ` Oh! Oh! ` The guilty asked: Is Putin talking about one thing (Russia) but referring to another (Iraq)? ` Panic set in among the guilty. ` The Liar phoned Putin the very next day. Polished Rice ran off to Russia on the 13th. ` ` C ` And on May 26th this year, these two facts about Iraq were restated plainly by James Petras: ` "The failure of Washington's will to a world empire has led to the shrinking of power relative to its [= The Superpower's] global situation prior to 2001. ` "And in large part that is due to the fighting capacity and organized resistance in Iraq and Afghanistan: ` Both have demonstrated that despite the great store of modern technological warfare and monopolies of media propaganda, wars are decided on the ground, by the popular majorities directly affected. ` It is they who set in motion the conversion of enthu- siastic domestic majorities for the US war to demor- alized minorities; ` it is they who have given backbone and resiliency to the Middle Eastern governments who vacillate be- tween collaboration with and rejection of the colonial powers." ` ` D ` The Iraqi Resistance commander whose facts rever- berate across the world is Abu Ahmad al-Janabi of the Iraqi Resistance organization al-Jaysh al-Islami. ` ` ` ` 2006 IRR (3d item under Baghdad): ` IRR ` May 9th: ` May9 ` May 10th: ` May10 ` May 13th: ` May13 ` Petras: ` Petras ` I format quotes for readability. `

Holocaust Denial

"Iraqi" ministries = Superpower puppets or Iranian puppets, depending. ` The present task of the Superpower puppets is to help create ` MANAGED CHAOS ` --The Superpower's modern, up-to-date ` HOLOCAUST ` in Iraq. ` Considering their past know-how, Germans are only too eager to participate in the present holocaust. ` ` ` ` AP (rewritten as "Military: 8 Memorial Day deaths in Iraq"): ` AP ` Chaos (last graf of 1st item under Baghdad): ` Chaos `

The Secret Word
` Friday May 25, 2007 POLITICAL ESSAYS The Secret Word ` ` Under the headline "Pentagon Assesses China's Mili- tary Power," AP reports May 24th that "the Pentagon wants Beijing to be more open about its intentions." ` AP quotes The Superpower's War Secretary: ` "It would be nice to hear firsthand from the Chinese how they view some of these things." ` The War Secretary wishes for a nice traitor at the top of the China power pyramid. ` ` But all that's unnecessary-- ` A. ` All the States in the world that mean to preserve and strenghen their independence intend to bring down The Superpower. ` B. ` Secondary to that, a decade and a half of Japanese aggression against China in the '30s and '40s dictates that the Peoples Republic of China intends to shove the Japanese islands into the Japan Trench, over 5 and 2/3 miles deep. A couple of thermonuclear weapons stra- tegically placed underwater will do the trick. ` ` Not waiting for the War Secretary's nice traitor, "[U.S. analysts] have suggested the Chinese could be looking beyond Taiwan...." ` ` ` ` AP: ` AP `

Why EU Must Kick UK Out
` Wednesday May 23, 2007 POLITICAL ESSAYS Why EU Must Kick UK Out ` ` Under the headline "Litvinenko Affair Set To Hurt UK- Russia Relations," Reuters May 23d reports the UK is (a) claiming Lugovoy, a Russian Federation citizen, killed Litvinenko and is (b) demanding extradition of Lugovoy ` even though the UK well knows ` "...Russia's constitution forbids it from extraditing its own citizens." ` But is this put-up job designed to hurt only RF-UK re- lations? ` Reuters reports: ` "Analysts said it could...deepen Russia's isolation from the West." ` Here "the West" = the EU. ` The Superpower's Puppet-uk is a member of the Euro- pean Union. ` Puppet-uk's in a position to try every trick in the book to subvert closer unity of the Russian Federation and the EU. ` How convenient for The Superpower! ` The Superpower fears closer EU-RF unity since such unity can help defeat The Superpower's war on the independence of the EU. ` Hence the title of this essay: the EU must kick the ` i-n-c-o-r-r-i-g-i-b-l-e Puppet-uk OUT. ` ` ` ` Reuters: ` Reuters `

The Chasm
` Friday May 18, 2007 POLITICAL ESSAYS The Chasm ` ` Under the headline "World Bank Crisis Bares Chasm Between Europeans, Americans," AFP May 20th re- ports "The crisis that brought down Paul Wolfowitz from the presidency of the World Bank has laid bare a chasm existing between the United States and Eur- opean countries since the invasion of Iraq in 2003." ` "By tradition" (duh) The Superpower picks the head of the World Bank and "Europeans" (duh) pick the head of the International Monetary Fund. Both insti- tutions were set up over 60 years ago to make the world safe for Wall Street. ` Alhough ` "A number of voices, including those coming from non-governmental organizations and some govern- ments, rose in favor of abandoning that unwritten rule" ` AFP nevertheless concludes that, duh, ` "The Europeans will have therefore to accept Bush's choice as they did two years ago with Wolfowitz." ` ` Under the headline "Venezuela Pulling Out of IMF, World Bank," AP reports May 1st "Chavez..made the announcement a day after telling a meeting of allied leaders [Bolivia, Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua] that Latin America would be better off without the U.S.-backed World Bank or IMF." ` ` OH, THOSE POOR MENTALLY-CHALLENGED ` EUROPEANS ! ` ` ` ` AFP: ` AFP ` AP: ` AP `

Turning On Its Own
` Friday May 18, 2007 POLITICAL ESSAYS Turning On Its Own ` ` The Superpower's Declaration of World $lavery is ultimately aimed at its own Evil People here in The Citadel. ` There are preliminary signs. For one, applying The Superpower's Baghdad war tactics to cities here in the "homeland." ` Under the headline "Street Lockdowns Proposed For Baltimore," AP May 17th reports that "Under [a city councilman's] plan, the mayor could declare 'public safety act zones,' which would allow police to close liquor stores and bars, limit the number of people on city sidewalks, and halt traffic during two-week inter- vals." ` In Baghdad, alcohol's a problem only among the in- vaders and occupiers --but limiting the number of Iraqi people on the street is called ` CURFEW ` and halting Iraqi traffic for two-week intervals is called ` LOCKDOWN. ` Under the Baltimore plan, reports AP: ` "Police would be encouraged to aggressively stop and frisk individuals in those zones to search for weapons and drugs." ` In Baghdad, the invaders and occupiers aggresive- ly use percussion grenades to blow down doors of homes --and once in, use attack dogs to terrorize those inside. ` This is called ` SEARCHING ` and ` THEFT of Iraqi people's belongings. ` Naturally the Iraqi people resist! ` In Baltimore, there's resistance too: ` "Police and prosecutors...say they are facing a 'stop snitching' culture...." ` Of course, what's out in the open in occupied Bagh- dad is partially concealed in the "homeland"... ` AP quotes another Baltimore city councilman: ` "We have to make sure we're not declaring martial law." ` ` ` ` AP: ` AP `

Review
` Thursday May 10, 2007 POLITICAL ESSAYS Review ` ` Under the headline "Former Okla. Death Row Inmate To Go Free," AP May 11th reports "A man who spent more than two decades in jail, mostly on death row, was freed...after a state judge dismissed a murder charge against him, saying a...police chemist had taint- ed the evidence in the case." ` This individual frame occurred more than 20 years ago, long before the 9/11 excuse for mass framing of "ter- rorists" was thought of. ` Framing people is a form of State terrorism. ` ` Under the headline "Pope: God Will Punish Drug Deal- ers," AP reports May 12th "Drug traffickers will face divine justice for the scourge of illegal narcotics across Latin America, Pope Benedict XVI warned...." ` The DEA appreciates the pope's pulling rank on human justice. ` DEA drug trafficking is a form of State terrorism. ` ` Under the headline "U.N.
