*****They trick you into a draft: here is how to not get duped and legally get out of it.

*****The US is purposely causing a "civil war" using the ol'e method of Divide et Impera...it is the same thing they do to the american public but by attacking our minds instead of persons, well usually. ("The last thing an occupying power wants is for the people it’s dominating to recognize their common situation and interests. Were they to do that, they might mobilize their energies to fight their common enemy. So occupied countries are organized by their occupiers along color, religious and ethnic fault-lines.")

******Finally: US intelligence finds that Iran's Nuclear Arms Program was halted in 2003 (and in a story that I can no longer find: Israel is pissed that this info was exposed)

******Details of the secretive U.S.-Iraqi security pact, leaked to the media in the past few days, confirm the agenda that the US is installing permanent bases in Iraq while the media spins it as best as they can.

**Many soldiers have participated in "Search and Avoid" missions and some are under investigation.

*****Ron Paul explains the Neo-Cons quite well

****American soldiers are frequently working with PKK terrorists even though they are on our own government's list of top terrorists (Screw our ally Turkey, we want to get Iran!)

*******22 year CIA Vet fired for refusing to falsify Iran Intel

**Truck Drivers starting to strike en masse.  If this keeps up major problems could arise, but I don't blame them one bit.

*****The DoD has declared War on NarcoTerror and is looking to outsource (read: privatize) it even more (meaning that corporations will continue to increase their wealth as we all know these type of wars are neverending)

*****More private military groups and Blackwater causing terror on civilians in Iraq and more terror (Non-removed video here)

****Bush and Cheney planning a joint covert war with Turkey to assassinate Kurdish leaders

******Ron Paul completely owns General Petraeus at an Iraq meeting.  The war was illegal!

******Author, businessman and Republican turned Independent Karl Schwarz, provides interesting behind-the-scenes details of the players and events on the global scene. (Investment Banker Karl Schwartz lays it out: #1 The Caspian Sea Basin (Kazakstan, Turkmenistan etc) holds between 11 and 12 TRILLION dollars in oil and gas resources #2 There are only three ways to get it out: East to China, West through Iran, Russia, and Turkey to Europe, South through Afghanistan and Pakistan# 3 The Taliban who controlled Afghanistan before 9/11 made pipeline deals with non-US companies and refused to change them to give control of the region's resources to the US.)

******A quick rundown on the ultra powerful MIC. Remember what Eisenhower said.

*****UPDATE on the Pat Tillman story: more evidence shows that he very well may have been murdered and not accidentally killed. The congress is scheduled to look into it while Bush and Co. are yet again claiming "Executive Privilege." Way to support the troops and give the families of the dead troops the truth! Such as Tillman's dad who is pissed about the cover up. Here is an interview with the soldier who was right next to Tillman when he died and he also tells how the military chaplain lied to investigators (WWJD? LOL) And World Net Daily is also lying about this scandal (Is lying a hobby of theirs, or are they getting paid by someone or some group?) Now we know Tillman was planning on meeting Noam Chomsky (motive) and Spc. Bryan O'Neal comes forward to say how he was ordered to not say a word about what really happened

****Pat Tillman who was vehemetly against the Iraq War may NOT have been killed by "friendly fire" on accident I thought this article was bogus until I read it.  Now I'm highly suspicious of his murder. ("Most of us have glimpsed the several coroner shows now so popular on TV, where every shred of evidence is saved and protected to expose the crime; no eyelash is ever lost or discarded. But Tillman’s clothing and body armor, as well as his personal diary were all burned.") And now Bush and Co. are claiming "Executive Privilege" so they don't have to release any more information about the matter

****Terrific article explaining the mentality why the Germans supported Hitler and how americans have done the same thing with Bush (Americans fell for the exact same tactics.)

*****The Pre-invasion lies about Iraq and the false ties to 911, a flow chart presentation; includes specific gulity parties and is easy to understand

**Just like what happened right before the Iraq War, Bush says he will bypass the UN and deal with Iran himself

**Stolen US vehicles end up as bombs in Iraq (Hmm...I never hear about Arabs stealing cars or shipping them overseas.  Or are they buying them from car thieves..but haven't heard about that.  Or maybe they are just better thieves and never get caught unlike all the blacks, mexicans, whites, and asians that get convicted of stealing cars everyday!)

A short .gif of an Iraqi with an RPG getting shot several times, once in his head and dropping dead.  Everyone who pays taxes should see what they're paying for.  Just imagine this was you trying to protect the road outside your house or next to the market you go to.  And then getting murdered by people who don't even live in your country.

******151 Congressmen are profiting from the Iraq War

****USA attacks enemies from inside Pakistan without permission (Imagine the Canadian army marching through Texas to attack Mexico...not cool)

Prince Harry gets pulled out of the war.  The Bush twins were never even close to the war.  Our leaders use the masses for their own benefit.

**Olbermann owns Bush again on the war and more

***Excellent video about the real Iraq by a real embedded journalist

****Mike Gravel outlines a specific plan that would work to get out of Iraq, proving that Clinton and Obama are fake ass candidates

**Saddam paid for US lawmaker's trips to Iraq...

*****Republican Senator Hagel now admits that the administration wanted access to start a war anywhere in the middle east but congress restricted them to Iraq at the last figurative minute

***The Congress's report on Blackwater and their sick actions

***This USS Cole story reeks of feces and propaganda.  How many examples can you find? And why didn't we attack Yemen if they were harboring terrorists? Well I know the answer, why didn't the idiot public ask this question?

****Rhetoric spewing Obama is NOT an anti-war candidate as he wants to keep the MIC war perpertrators happy and continue the war in Iraq, the pressure on Iran, and the Drug War in South America

***Britain is protecting the Opium fields in Afghanistan.  So US soliders get to die for oil while the UK's soldiers die for the heroin that they claim they want destroyed (The Taliban kept the Opium out of the hands of the masses, while our ruling elite say they want it out the hands of the masses but really want to control it and make money off of it.)

****What the news media does not tell you part 34593049530495: Saddam offered to go into exile which would have saved a trillion dollars, spared over a million lives and prevented tens of thousands of dead and injured U.S. soldiers

***Air Force will arm insurgents if necessary (Which is what they yell at Iran for)

****Unlike what Bush and co. has said, several US military war games (and NIE reports) show that Al-Qaieda would NOT benefit from a US pullout and the administration's motto for Iraq has been "you attack hornets" but "don't swat at flies" LOL

*****Senator Byron Dorgan gives one of many example of the US government giving huge amounts of money to people for practically nothing in return

****Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki says America can leave whenever and he also accuses (rightly so) the US of committing human rights violations

*US using experimental laser weapons on the Iraqis (I think we can say that this is a fact after hearing the Rumsfeld interview in the middle)

Decent op-ed depicting the hypocricy of all those in favor of the war

****Bush allegedly assures Saudis no war exit on his watch (Nice that the Saudi president has more of a say then the american people)

*Iraqi had democratic elections yet the Bush admin. refuses to listen to the leaders such as when they request the removal of General Petraeus

****The Bases are Loaded; a mini-documentary on the megabases the US is putting up (or already have up) in Iraq

**The Guantanamo prisoner who died in his cell this week was a Saudi army veteran who trained with U.S. soldiers

**Our very own Negroponte appears to have planned the attack on the holy Shia shrines in Samarra to help topple the ELECTED Iraqi government (Way to win their hearts and minds!)

More and more non-US citizens being turned into soldiers and then naturalized

**Olbermann's report on the cowardly democrats turning tail on the very issue they were elected for.  "Your entire government has failed you"

*******More Winter Soldier testimony as a Marine strips himself of his medals, shows video of the innocent men he killed, the Mosques they shot at for fun, tells how they acted completely different when they had embedded reporters next to them

***Here are some clips and photos of the huge JANUARY 27, 2007 DC PEACE RALLY where it went largely ignored in the mainstream media, or the numbers were underexaggerated and pics were taken only showing a few people.  In reality, there were over a hundred thousand people there.  Here is a 12 year old speaker, photos from synchronized Canadian protest, and the raging grannies.

You can't say this about America during a time of war! ("Why, of all the brutal regimes that regularly violate human rights, do we only intervene militarily in Iraq? Because the violation of human rights is not our true interest here. We just say it is as a convenient means of manipulating world opinion and making our cause seem more just. That is exactly the sort of thing I should not say right now.")

*****Blackwater: The private contract fighters America has hired that you don't hear about.  770 contractors have been killed in Iraq and 7,761 have been injured, but they are not included in the official US death toll.  Plus, if contractors are used for missions that are not quite legal or want to be distanced from official policy, their actions are completely deniable as they are not employees of the US government.  They make 10 times what a soldier makes.  They are bound by no laws.  They are immune against FOIA requests (even though they are paid with our taxpayer money).  They have been paid more than the agreed upon amount for less work than they promised.  They are Blackwater mercenaries.  USA sponsored contract killers.

****Our corporate sponsered bases in Iraq and elsewhere, how the public doesn't want them and the media doesn't really talk about it

****Like I knew all along, regardless of Rumsfeld's "I doubt [we'll be in Iraq for] two months", Bush and Co. say they could be in Iraq for 50 years  Here is the video from CNN

***Interview with Jeremy Scahill who wrote the excellent book on Blackwater

****More stories of Blackwater and other mercenary's actions, as well as a historical context, Cheney's and the neo-cons goal of a Corporate rule, and Kucinich in front of the senate getting them to essentially admit they will let these guys get away with murder

**Hear the truth about the Iraq War straight from soldier's mouths

***Number of detainees not charged with a crime being held in Iraq by the US military (imagine here: a foreign government taking over our country and putting male family members/neighbors in a concentration camp...without having done anything wrong...)

***Iraqi Lawmakers want U.S. Withdrawal! (So do their citizens, so do americans, so do europeans...an overwhelming majority want US out of Iraq, and yet they stay)

****A stepped up military offensive that targets mosques, religious leaders and Islamic customs is leading many Iraqis to believe that the US-led invasion really was a "holy war."

**Patriotic americans refuse to pay taxes because they are morally obligated to not fund the Iraq War

****The media ignores it, the Air Force deleted the stats from their web page, but military deserters continue to rise and graduates declining active duty is at its highest rate since Vietnam ("There was one guy who literally chopped off his trigger finger with an axe to prevent his deployment,” Dr. Grieger said in an interview.)

**A reporter reports on the death of a collegue in Iraq and how it is just as bad or worse now (Also, the US resolution regarding whether to allow UN forces in Iraq)

***What are the soldiers in Iraq doing??  Helping the Shiites create genocide against the Sunnis? Well it sure sounds like that is what they are doing!

*Top 10 reasons why we should not be in Iraq and how it is unconstitutional and only benefiting the ruling elite

*******While Britian is getting in on torturing Iraqi civilian detainees we continue to see how bad Abu Ghraib really was as more evidence and testimony comes forth from Seymour Hersh, General Taguba (who was forced to retire after he told the truth) and General Janis Karpinski (who was in charge of Ghraib for awhile)  And even though a US Appeals Court ruled that detention centers like this and Gitmo are illegal, they continue to be run and people continue to be tortured

***Another hypocritical manoeuver: Bush now looking for a War Czar to be the scapegoat for the war; so far, everyone is saying "No thanks"

****Iraqi journalists don't print what the US want, so the US military raided their office destroyed equipment and murdered some of them

***The Oil Factor: Behind the War on Terror

******Excellent article on how our economy went from gold based to oil based and the economic reasons behind attacking Iraq and Iran...to save our dollar.  Seems hyperinflation or an attack on Iran is in store for us

*****US to open Iraq pipelines...now one of their real main objectives is complete, control the oil and sell it in dollars not Euros

****This is an amazing video to me.  It shows a snippet of an interview with Dick Cheney back in '94.  His position with Iraq is completely different.  Now, I know people change their minds, but usually not this drastically (as an adult) and not while completely ignoring and dismissing your past viewpoint in such black and white terms.  Also I noticed his cadence, his tone, and his mannerisms were completely different!!  They were real!  What happened?  Money? Drugs? Power?

**Bush purges Iraq command to prepare military escalation, he only wants generals in charge who agree with him

**Olberman rips Bush hardcore over Iraq and even mentions his business dealings (What bothers me though is he is helping further the propaganda (though I don't think intentionally)--the propaganda that it is all Bush's fault. Then when Bush leaves people will be "everything is all better now!!" and then the same thing will happen...)

Iraqis arrest men over Saddam hanging video (C'mon people!  We should stick up for the people that provide content for us whatever it may be, but instead we watch whatever clip it is then don't give a care for the people who supplied it)

*Iran is swarming with Mossad and CIA and are being backed into a corner (all you pro-war types--wouldn't you want to attack a country that was internally spying on you??  Well there is one currently doing that--Israel)

*Yasser Salihee's Final Report From Iraq (this reporter was murdered most likely by an american sniper, but possibly by a US trained Iraqi police officer)

Noam Chomsky owns in arguements: Taliban + Afghan war

*The US has been secretly spying on Iran with a group known as the Iran Syria Policy and Operations Group; they are also rounding up Iran haters for an upcoming war

The president of Iraq objects to the Iranian diplomats being arrested by US forces (so they rudely! ignore the wishes of the president of a country??  I thought we wanted Iraq to be a soverign democracy) Obviously Iran is pissed about this

Human Rights Watch says that the trial of former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein was not carried out fairly

From 2002, "Iran is the next target", his educated guesses were correct

**Learn some about the two largest holy cities in Iraq and the initial causes for the rift between Sunnis and Shiites ("Most readers might complain that it is not realistic to expect mainstream America to possess the knowledge necessary to achieve the level of comprehension required to pass this quiz. I agree. However, since the mission of the United States in Iraq has shifted from disarming Saddam to installing democracy to creating stability, I think it only fair that the American people be asked about those elements that are most relevant to the issue, namely the Shiite and Sunni faithful and how they interact with one another."  Exactly.)

*Iran president wants to debate Bush (he would easily win)

Sweet Pics of a Sandstorm in Iraq

***Israel finding a way to attack Iran (Don't you see???? It was Israel all along who wanted US to attack Iran, and since the Bushies couldn't garner enough public support, Israel is doing it itself through mass distortion, lies, and pre-emptive attacks..and our troops in Iraq will be in the middle when the bombing starts)

*Boys so proud of their decorations, be a good little soldier now; a nice speech by Cindy Sheehan

***The Iraq Study Group: Official damage control and cover-up; a list of its members who are supposed to give the public an objective view of the Iraq situation...haha

Seymour Hersh on Iran, intel, and the administration's propaganda attack on him, even though he has been right on practically everything these past 5-6 years

*******New PBS documentray rips Cheney and Rumsfeld for lying us into a war AND THE VIDEO SO DOES A CBC documentary (he is more than willing to kill 3,000 americans on 9/11)

Ali's view on war

*'Saddam' Trial: His aid tossed out of court, witnesses accusing Saddam said their testimony was coerced

Guess how many Iraqi forces are properly trained? Well, the answer angered several members of the senate a few months ago. So what was the Pentagon's solution?? To stop releasing those numbers...well that was simple

***Excellent speech given by President Eisenhower (you know, the same one that warned us of the Military Industrial Complex and the masses pretty much ignored him); what must be done, and not done, to achieve peace; very much relevant today

Straussian politics/wars are a must for the people in power

*Kurds flee homes as Iran shells Iraq's northern frontier ("If Israel has a right to invade Lebanon to fight Hezbollah, then by that precedent Iran has a right to invade Iraq to counter the threat of the Kurdish rebels. But why would Iran choose to do so now, so close to the August 22nd deadline to halt their power station project? It just does not make sense. How do we know it is Iran carrying out the shelling?")

*******Excellent brief history of current and past administration's dealings with North Korea and where we stand now

*In Iraq, many see US and British as illegal occupiers, the fighting continues: 'We have liberated Amara from the British. Basra next'

'Boston Globe' Reveals: U.S. Payoffs to Families of Dead Iraqi Civilians Has 'Skyrocketed'

Put yourself on record as a conscientious objector

*List of reasons why the Iraq War wasn't a good idea

Another member of Saddam's defense team is murdered

Germany tells Rumsfeld to clean up the Iraq mess by himself (well, in a nicer way)

Iraq War: A Jewish for peace take (Sounds good, but doesn't mention how Israel helped the administration take down the towers for their mutual benefit.)
