Attack on Iraq 'will be grave mistake', warns Aziz: Baghdad was aware of plans to strike 300 targets with 1,000 missiles. the real war plan. the plan to pin anthrax on iraq looks to have fallen through. what will next? "proof" of their involvement in 9/11?

FBI and CIA Suspect Domestic Extremists see below for my unambiguous assertions of a right wing domestic source of the anthrax and scoffing at the various attempts to pin it on iraq. what does bush do now about his war against evil doers? are we going to hear about a new campaign against his own idiot constituency? will this justify some new "homeland security" incursions into our civil liberties? how are they going to move the war to iraq now?

Oil rush: As a pipeline route, this remote region is crucial if Western powers are to reduce their dependence on Saudi Arabia - itself potentially unstable. The Gulf War was largely about oil. You won't hear it said often but, inadvertently, this one is too. and you won't hear it said at all in the us (this article is from uk). that's what makes me nervous about the new "anti-terrorism" measures being applied to the internet (see below). routing all internet traffic through a central server may allow them not only to monitor everything, but to look for ways to curtail the current open access to opinions outside their control.
Hollywood employment slumps to four-year low note the continual refrain blaming it on 9/11. the story line runs: "Just when many in the industry were looking to get back on track, suicide hijackers crashed airliners into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and a field in rural Pennsylvania." by serving as the information ministry for the capitalist state and beaming this story line into the minds of all americans, hollywood destroys itself. the "impact" of 9/11 wore off after two weeks. the collapse of the fundamental industrial production/ consumption simply continues on a downward spiral that began two years earlier and will continue long after. the myth works by taking the "about to get back on track" theory as an indesputable foregone conclusion. in any case, while the small businesses clustering around the studios will fail, the hollywood power elite will be bailed out and protected because such myth making is as essential to capitalist power as war.
Consumer spending is the key to the U.S. economy. When will it recover? it is here that the emperor's new brain is most blatantly exposed. there may be intelligent economists among the capitalist power elite, but they are not running the show. one example of the reigning wisdom in this article is: "If people lose their jobs, they're not going to go buy a car." this seems like some kind of insight contrary to the capitalist discourse blaming the absence of a rebound (off of thin air) on anthrax. no one referred to this insight for the past two years of a million plus layoffs per year. these were presented as wise american corporate policy, the reason our economy is not as stagnant as japan and europe's who protect working class interests. the utter stupidity of capitalist power is most evident in the passing of the bush/republican embezzlement II bill. after the fact, cnn comments that the bill focuses on: "giving tax breaks and other incentives to companies, encouraging them to spend money to improve production. But," they insight, "companies may not choose to spend that money until they know demand is going to justify higher production." Does this mean that these reagonomic measures are going to remove all the current public subsidies of services and resources available to the working class, further decimating "consumer confidence" in the wake of continuing corporate downsizing and thereby driving a spiraling recession into a spiraling depression. of course not; it only means: "it could take a while for that money to trickle down to the consumer. 'The corporate tax cuts may not have an economic impact until months later.'" there is, of course, no support offered for the foregone conclusion that money in the swiss bank accounts of rich capitalists will inevitably tinkle down on the rest of us. this is just an article of faith in the worship of saint reagan. this epidemic of capitalist myopic stupidity is partly stimulated by the immediate windfalls such measures provide them, and partially by the fact that they will result in short term jumps in stock values which will halt the retreat of investment capital, creating the impression of a recovering economy and shoring up the net worth of the capitalists who advocate them. this recovery, however, has nothing to do with actual production and consumption. it simply represents a further shifting of resources from public to private revenues. the self perpetuating collapse of production/consumption will continue as the shrinking public funds begin to be felt, further eroding the consumer confidence the capitalists are waiting for to magically reverse its current trend. they better start killing people over there in earnest, or they will have to use some of their new law enforcement powers here.
Could We Face Another Depression? unfortunately, the limites space on this site means you can't go back a year in my archives to read my earlier comments on the coming global depression. at that time, i started predicting a major war and speculating as to its possible location and justification. now we have a war, but in order for it to save us from what i see as an inevitable spiral into depression, which, because of the far greater inter connectedness of the global markets than in the twenties, would be global in scope, it would have to be a war on the scale of world war ii. terrorism is not a threat equal to german aggression in the thirties, but it has to be trumped up as such. one little war in afghanistan won't do. we must go to iraq or we will go into depression. the "anti terrorism" bill that was signed today by bush will ensure that depression conditions here will not give rise to militant uprising against the capitalist state, and i believe they are consciously preparing for such an eventuality. even the various political interests around the world that are served by american military aggression against their enemies do not seem to be enough to get war fever going sufficiently for a war of adequate scale to restore full employment and industrial production as it did in the forties. the right wing is running the government so unilaterally that they may try to perpetrate the war even with the usual lukewarm american apathy and acquiescence to their capitalist wars of the cold war period, but it will be hard to sustain if casualties start mounting to vietnam levels unless americans can be fed a terrorist myth that is real and palpable. consequently, i fear another reichstag fire fake terrorist attack killing another large group of working class americans on american soil. the fear and outrage that results will be trumped up in the mass media to fever pitch with 24/7 emergency coverage, while the first waves of regular troops are moved towards iraq.
he FBI has plans to change the architecture of the Internet and route traffic through central servers that it would be able to monitor e-mail more easily: the country is asking for more, not less, law enforcement on the Internet. is "the country" asking? all i've heard is a bunch of right wing politicians and a couple of moron on the street interviews on corporate monopoly news media.
Judicial Watch: Finally, the government has claimed, until today, that the anthrax-laced letters are not necessarily from foreign Islamic terrorists. However, three letters released yesterday and published in newspapers today, show that they all contain references to killing Americans and Jews and end with the salutation “Allah Is Great.” Why would domestic terrorists write this? Obviously, the administration is seeking to justify not taking immediate military action against Iraq, who most suspect has supplied biological weapons to Bin Laden. (Indeed, the ringleader of the September 11 attacks, Mohamed Atta, also met with Iraq’s agents at least twice in Prague, Czechoslovakia. See, Deborah Orin, “U.S. Czechs Out Atta’s Trip,” The New York Post, nypost.com, October 23, 2001. The Arabic members of the Administration’s coalition – Egypt, Syria, Saudi Arabia and others – have all made it clear they will not support military action against Iraq. this extreme right wing biased "watchdog" falls for the bait (or was fed the bait) and pushes us towards war with iraq, claiming the bushies are trying to avoid it for political reasons. he keeps asking why such a panic if it's not mass iraqi terrorists. maybe to create that impression because the bushies really do want to go to iraq.

Anthrax as a Biological Weapon. a biologist agrees with me that something smells cia
Special-interest payback: House Republican leaders take up today a special wartime ''stimulus'' bill that's little more than a good old-fashioned special-interest giveaway. ignore the silliness about the recession surely ending long before the tax cuts take effect and the implication that a minimum wage hike is democrats serving their contributors interests.

Letter sources may be infected with anthrax start with the first guy that died in florida and find out where his little drive up north really took him. perhaps they are not "willing to sacrifice themselves" but the unwitting victims of a directing force with the means to weaponize the spores.

Saddam moved chemical weapons i guess the iraqis are getting the hint
WASHINGTON - The United States has had to make some unsavoury friends in its battle against Osama bin Laden's terrorist legions, but none more so than General Abdul Rashid Dostum letting one genie out to shove another back in. their still playing polo with severed goat's heads up there (they used to be heads of pushtuns).
The president told American and Asian business leaders in Shanghai that the terrorists who struck the World Trade Center on Sept. 11 were attempting to make world markets collapse. i suggest they were calculated to provide an excuse for a collapse that was already inevitable and a war to reverse it.

Anthrax attacks now being linked to US right-wing cranks this was my first theory (see below). the moslems are usually pretty precise in targeting right wing politicians. why would they go after democrats? and why pataki unless it's an extension of the abortion clinic terrorism upstate? and why do i have to go to england to read about it?

Is it time to bust the Cipro patent?: "We cannot just rely on Bayer to ensure we have a sufficient supply of Cipro," Schumer said in a statement. "First, Bayer can only produce so much Cipro, and we should not put our best response to anthrax in the hands of just one manufacturer. Second, buying Cipro only from Bayer -- who charges a lot more than generic manufacturers would -- means we spend a lot more and receive a lot less. Hopefully, we won't even need to use the Cipro we already have on hand, but if we make arrangements to purchase it from multiple generic drug manufacturers, we'll have it if we need it." anthrax is the least of my worries, but it is a good symbol of what the current power struggle is about: the war between socialism ie generic drugs for the people and capitalism ie bayer's freedom to patent and profit

The Great Game - The War For Caspian Oil And Gas more on why capitalists fight wars really
Bin Laden couldn't be doing all this in Afghan caves. The leading supplier suspect has to be Iraq. U.S. officials let Saddam know during the Gulf War that if he used such agents against U.S. forces he would get a destructive response. But that doesn't mean he, or his agents, might not want to unleash the weapon from a deniable distance, or via third parties. His anti-American animus hasn't lessened since his Gulf defeat. And Czech government sources have reported that Atta, the hijacking mastermind, met at least once with Iraqi diplomat. We rehearse all this because the best defense against anthrax attacks isn't passing out Cipro to every American. It is to go on relentless offense against the terrorist sources. 'that doesn't mean he wouldn't' doesn't even qualify as circumstantial evidence. the wsj (free subscription required) joins in the growing back to iraq chorus.
A former Al Qaeda follower now working for American intelligence told his handlers Bin Laden had said 'I swear to God', a phrase he would not normally use. the airing of his speeches is not a reliable medium to pass orders. if his network is as vast as we're given to believe, he wouldn't need tv. and how do his followers come to work for american intelligence?
AL-QAIDA SPOKESMAN SAYS LEAVE ARAB LANDS OR ELSE here self proclaimed prophets of god are spun as making terrorist threats
Osama bin Laden's terrorist network has pledged new attacks on America and Britain. In a chilling message, al Qaeda told Americans they would not be safe flying in planes or living in skyscrapers. here the same warning i've been getting from ashcroft is cast by blair as a 'a clear admission of responsibility for the September 11 attacks.'

Fear of new attacks, earnings likely to drive trading today's capitalists seem to be completely oblivious to the historic relationship between war and the cycles of the capitalist market economy. their projections are limited to effects of terrorist attacks and seem to ignore the determining factor of large scale vs. small scale imperialist invasions.
Tabloid Boss' Realtor Wife Found Apartment For Some Hijackers i don't believe in 'eerie coincidences.' it is a coincidence that florida plays such a prominent role in this farce. i would be asking about ties of "the supermarket tabloid editor" to the cia/anti castro community. remember that anthrax frequently has been placed on the doorstep of abortion clinics in upstate ny. no one suggests an iraqi source.
Pentagon calls for rewrites on war script reuters misses the point that war is show business
Iraq stockpiled anthrax in run-up to Gulf war so anyone wanting to incriminate iraq as a target of the 'war on terrorism' need only send two anthrax laced letters and a bunch of talcum powder to some news media and claim credible but confidential evidence of their involvement.

Iraq 'behind US anthrax outbreaks' for my predictions re another fake terrorist attack to move the war to iraq see many items below. their only proof of iraq involvement is the airborne form of the florida case:
Making powder needs repeated washings in huge centrifuges, followed by intensive drying, which requires sealed environments. The technology would cost millions. US intelligence believes Iraq has the technology and supplies of anthrax suitable for terrorist use. 'They aren't making this stuff in caves in Afghanistan,' the CIA source said. 'This is prima facie evidence of the involvement of a state intelligence agency. Maybe Iran has the capability. But it doesn't look likely politically. That leaves Iraq.' politically that also leaves the wolfowitz cabal and the right wing oil money cia agenda. what does a state like iraq have to gain by drawing american military aggression in order to give a few people a bad rash? here the cia right wingers can have their war in iraq for which they'd been preparing for months before the first terrorist attack at the cost of one american life, a few skin rashes and some talcum powder.

Three Americans win Nobel Prize for economics one agrees with me that bush tax embezzlement does not amount to a recovery stimulus. in fact, it is quite the contrary, and they're pushing another one. the war that they claim is "tipping the world into recession" is really the only way out of the recession that giving away all the money to the rich is accelerating.
PsyOps has two main purposes: to persuade the enemy to surrender, and to convince local civilians that the attackers are not the real enemy. psyops in afghanistan or usa. surrender to the right wing capitalist state; bush is not your real enemy.
Iraq: U.S. spy plane shot down you can't reverse a global recession fighting wars against people that can't put up a resistance. they have to take us back to iraq, but how? send unmanned planes over to get shot down and use that as an excuse to invade.

Allied planes hit Iraq again: Warplanes struck two anti-aircraft artillery sites in Shahban, 225 miles southeast of Baghdad if you read down my news page, you will find me predicting war on iraq for the past several months. while all talk is focused on afghanistan, i have claimed iraq is the real target. this is a war about oil, not terrorism. afghanistan is valuable as a pipeline route from the caspian as was kosovo, but iraq is the real bonanza. as i have been predicting invasion of iraq since long before the terrorist attack on the us, that attack strikes me as too convenient an excuse to do what could not otherwise be justified to be accidental. if the transnational oil interests that currently control our government did not use their own intelligence organizations to fake a terrorist attack, at the very least they allowed it to happen. nothing short of an aggressive war in pursuit of capitalist imperialist interests can reverse a spiraling market crash.
Bush wants $75 billion economic stimulus if they really wanted to increase "consumer confidence" they would raise taxes. they only shift gdp from the working class to the capitalist class under the theory that more cash leads to more investment even in a crashing global market. this has already proven false. to shift gdp the other way takes taxation of higher incomes to subsidize lower incomes.
