President George W. Bush said he'll use presidential authority to sidestep a rule requiring his administration to provide Congress with written notice of U.S. intelligence activities. Requiring written notice of planned U.S. intelligence activities may ``impair foreign relations'' and national security, Bush said in a statement. other countries and our own citizens might be upset if they found out the bushoilcia faked the wtc and the anthrax to get their war going. you know, the reason the founding fathers put checks and balances into the constitution was not that they didnt trust themselves. they thought that history demonstrates that tyrants inevitably get into positions of power so they protected their new political system from future threats by checking their own power. even if you think bushbushbushcheneyashcroftrumsfeldcarlyeweinbergerbakercarlucci is the most trustworthy wise and virtuous president america ever had as recent corporate monopoly media polls indicate you do, what about the precedent their setting for future political leaders? shouldnt we be as circumspect about the future as the founding fathers? precedents are enormously powerful in political and legislative matters. once accepted they become an authority used to decide future similar cases.
If There Is War, India Will Win Says US Think Tank: India enjoys a strong numerical advantage over Pakistan in both conventional and nuclear weapons, giving it an edge in its current confrontation with its perennial foe, according to data released by a leading US think tank. the military phase of wwiii begins in earnest with india who represents the transnational capitalist side of the war against essentially communistic fundamentalist islamicists. this is not a strictly marxist dialectical process as india is not strictly capitalistic and fundamentalists are not strictly communistic. the latter represent rather a product of the globalized capitalism that must either increase its influence as captitalist accumulation of wealth accelerates globally or be hobbled by military aggression raising power elites more amenable to or at least manageable by transnational capitalist power elites. next chapter: america goes to somalia

Bush's war at home: a creeping coup d'état: In the period since the September 11 terrorist attacks on New York and Washington, the United States has undergone a radical transformation in the structure of the government, in the relationship between the people and the police and armed forces, and in the legal and constitutional framework. beware the new right wing myth campaign to cast this as an israeli coup on america (replacing the old myth about janet reno and the clintons riding black ops helicopters at the vanguard of an invading chinese army that brainwashed tim mcvey into blowing up a bunch of working class people in a federal building). remember besides the unlimited police powers sought by the bushoilcia the trillions of dollars of tax revenues theyve already carted out of washington to their corporate sponsors before deciding whos running this coup
South Asia's high nuclear stakes: unlike Russia and the United States, they are not bound by any treaty obliging them to reveal the extent of their arsenals. And perhaps most worryingly, no-one knows how many warheads each country has. In military terms, India remains massively stronger than Pakistan. Little wonder then that the government in Islamabad has developed a small nuclear deterrent force to defend itself against its more powerful neighbour. the bbc who have endorsed the brits participation in the regular bombing of iraq anti aircraft installations, the clearest sign that an invasion of iraq was in the offing months before the terrorist attacks finds pakistans nuke buildup little wonder but joins the us in calling iraqs buildup "aggression"
US planned war in Afghanistan long before September 11: reports include the prediction, made in July, that “if the military action went ahead, it would take place before the snows started falling in Afghanistan, by the middle of October at the latest.” The Bush administration began its bombing strikes on the hapless, poverty-stricken country October 7, and ground attacks by US Special Forces began October 19. It is not an accident that these revelations have appeared overseas, rather than in the US. The ruling classes in these countries have their own economic and political interests to look after, which do not coincide, and in some cases directly clash, with the drive by the American ruling elite to seize control of oil-rich territory in Central Asia. The American media has conducted a systematic cover-up of the real economic and strategic interests that underlie the war against Afghanistan, in order to sustain the pretense that the war emerged overnight, full-blown, in response to the terrorist attacks of September 11. more proof that the terrorist attacks were just too convenient falling at precisely the right moment to provide an invasion kick off before the winter. the us media coverup is frightening in its absolute consistency as it destroys any illusion of some free press surviving under capitalist hegemony, and the availability of the info over the internet is frightening as it makes the free info internet a likely target of future capitalist aggression
US launches air strikes on Baghdad: The strike by 24 aircraft, eight of them RAF Tornados based in Kuwait, was made in response to a build-up of activity by Saddam Hussein's anti-aircraft missile systems. Although the White House and the Pentagon denied that there had been a change of policy from the Clinton administration, the attack was seen in Washington as a significant increase of pressure on Saddam. It was the biggest strike into Iraq for two years and the first time since then that Baghdad had been hit. President Bush and his advisers have made it clear that he will take a tougher line with Iraq this article goes back to february, bushoilcias second month in office when it became clear to me that an iraq invasion was in the offing. recent attempts to tie iraq to sept terrorist attacks failed, but theres no doubt that the war momentum created in its aftermath are being exploited to mobilize an invasion that was planned months earlier perhaps during the campaign. the inevitable crash of the global markets that was evident to any truly historic perspective on capitalism made the war necessary. the fake terrorism perpetrated and or abetted by us, israel and now india are just the public relations
Saddam's poison gas kills 20 of his men its not surprising that a non nuclear power that sees an invasion by the worlds military superpower impending should maximize its defensive capabilities. nor is it surprising that that maximization should be spun as "aggression" by the superpower trying to justify the invasion
India and Pakistan on threshold of war: Reading from a script patterned on that followed by the Bush administration after the September 11 terrorist attacks in New York and Washington, India is demanding that Pakistan outlaw the two organizations it has accused—Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e- Mohammad—and arrest their leaders. It also is demanding Pakistan shutdown the training camps that anti-Indian Kashmiri guerrilla groups maintain in “Azad” or Pakistani-held Kashmir and suppress all organizations involved in “anti-Indian terrorism,” by which it means any group involved in the decade-long insurgency in the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir. its now time for my regular reminder that ive been predicting wwiii since the economys downturn began in earnest which i stated over a year ago before the capitalists admitted there was a recession and before any terrorists provided an excuse for war. israels aggression against palestine and now indias against pakistan follow the same bs response to terrorism discourse that the us used against first afghanistan and next iraq. this is the only way the modern capitalist state can justify the same old imperialism and its real cause is the depression cycle built into the capitalist markets that marx identified as the inevitable precursor to war

As US bombs more civilian targets, Bush insists Afghan war must go on: General Richard Myers, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, confirmed: “We did strike one target with both heavy bombers and tactical aircraft, using both precision and non- precision weapons.” However, numerous independent press reports indicate it was impoverished Afghan civilians who died in the air strike. Witnesses from Naka village, one of those hit, said that the attack took place while residents slept. A source in the Waziristan tribal agency on the border with Paktika province said that 40 people were killed, up to 60 were wounded and 25 houses were destroyed in the raid. AIP put the death toll at 25, and quoted witnesses as saying the bombing was so severe it was difficult to identify some of the dead. General Myers commented on the Ghazni raids: “We think the majority of folks in there would have been Taliban leadership.” well so long as you think most of them were talis go ahead and slaughter all the civilians you like. whats this war about again? evil terrorists who target civilians intentionally? infinite justice? they cant stop bombing because theyre not ready to move on iraq yet and they cant let momentum die. better to let women and children die.
New data showed a sharp rebound in consumer confidence, strong gains in home sales and only a slight reversal of recent improvements on the manufacturing and employment fronts. despite widespread expectations for a resumption of economic growth in 2002, the timing, breadth and strength of that expected recovery remain in serious doubt. Corporate profits continue to fall, putting pressure on production, investment and employment. And risks remain - among them, the threat posed to the US economy of rising unemployment, possible future terrorist attacks and growing weakness in major overseas markets, including Japan and Germany. housing sales are due to fear that the current low mortgage rates wont last and consumer confidence is due to the absence of the last piece of info, included in the british financial times at the last paragraph, from almost all monopoly media coverage of the economy. the monopoly media believe that if they keep repeating the refrain "recovery in the middle of 2002" they can jumpstart investor confidence. one pundit on bloomberg today acknowledged that the global synchronization of this recession makes it maybe different from the earlier ones that everyone now uses as a model for how long recessions last, but his solution was more downsizing and a congressional "stimulus" package. but more downsizing will only accelerate the crash as there will be fewer people able to clear out burgeoning manufacturing inventories and bushoilcia style "stimulus" has been shown by the recent nobelist in economics to only accelerate the crash by shifting more resources away from the working class who would spend it into the hands of capitalists who will not invest it in money losing propositions
India started the deployment of troops and a certain momentum was established by these concentration of troops. The Indian government has put itself in a corner and it will be difficult for them to back off now. Any deployment in excess of what is required at the border is seen as a threat by the other country. They now claim to have deployed surface- to-surface missiles and each step that they take increases the threat. the principle of momentum in war is also important to understanding the prospects for major us war next year. all the war plans of the us military are riding on not allowing the current momentum as weak as it is to die out. if they dont invade iraq now they have to wait for another terrorist attack or instigate some incident
Mr Bush said: "He's on the run, if he's running at all . . . I mean, this is a guy who three months ago was in control of a country. Now he's maybe in control of a cave." He said he had decided US citizens should be excluded from proposed military tribunals - a clear reference to John Walker Lindh he's on the run if he's running and he used to be in control of what country? afghanistan? bush gets into trouble when he tries to fly solo without the teleprompters. he was getting good at seeming like he knew what he was saying, pausing at every comma regardless of the sentence, but he's not quite up to reagan in being able to ad lib. and since the secret tribunals are designed to hide anything that comes out about cia complicity with al qaeda, they dont need it for walker
Mr Bush said he was "deeply concerned about the citizens of Houston who worked for Enron, who lost life savings". Senior management at the stricken energy trader and the Republican party are known to have close relationships. Mr Bush said he had had no contact with Kenneth Lay, Enron chief executive, or other Enron officials, over the past six weeks. here we go. roll out the microphone tables and tv cameras and get ready for a lot of republicans waving their fingers at their own pimp. like mitsubishi and ford firestone, theyll be big talk of jail sentences for a few weeks and then the matter will be quietly dropped as depression and world war take our attention
Fresh Money Protests in Argentina: demonstrators vandalized a bank and a McDonald's restaurant.
The violence began on the fringes of what was for hours a largely peaceful, but raucous pot-banging protest by middle- class Argentines fed up with government attempts to end a deep economic crisis.
the main reason the "recovery in july 2002" refrain is bs. argentina is no third world country and its not just the poor who are paying the bill for free market stupidity there. the success of the free marketeers at globalization means they cant just sit and watch argentina fall. argentina will drag down the rest of south and central america. turkey is in worse shape (see below). japan is also crashing and its devaluation of currency will spread throughout the rest of asia (see below). the idea that americans will suddenly get more confident and start spending their money wildly bringing economic recovery to the entire world is absurd. moreover the crash of the world markets is as in argentina the result of conditions aggravating for the past four years, since the last major recession. the idea that recessions simply end and recover is bs. the necessary bailouts result in conditions that ensure the next recession. these conditions remain and build up over each succeeding recession until they combine into a larger depression cycle.
Betting on a rebound: Friday's slew of reports showed that jobless claims rose at a lower level than expected, new home purchases are on the rise and that consumer confidence is up. Plus, history is on the economy's side: recessions typically last about 16 months, according to Anirvan Banerji, director of research for the Economic Cycle Research Institute. Since the recession officially began in March, the upturn should be in full swing by July 2002. the discourse of "rebound in second half of 2002" is the most impressive disinformation campaign ive ever witnessed. its repeated fifteen times a day on bloomberg radio by fifteen different pundits. they dont generally support it as cnn attempt to do here; they simply state it as an a priori assumption, and it seems so unanimous that it gives the impression of a fact like the sun coming up in the morning and spring following winter. here the whole basis for this a priori is identified and its ridiculous. the main flaw is the absence of any reference to war despite bushs continual refrain that 2002 is war year (when we send your kids to die in iraq). whether or when the economy goes into an upturn depends on whether and how big this war becomes. moreover the reference to a slowing unemployment rate is specious as the statistics only have to do with applications for unemployment insurance and many things can result in a one month slow down especially the fact that the three million layoffs leading up to this month is a world record and would be hard to maintain even in a depression. the other piece of proof offered, history, is also specious, as it depends on what chunk of history you refer to. if you only look at the last two decades it seems that all recessions simply ended after about a year and became booms, but in fact each process of recovery required extreme bailouts of banks and industry whose costs carried over and helped precepitate the next recession. if you extend your view of history to the century or beyond, you see that all economic downturns do not end with automatic rebounds. the great depression required wwii, the new deal, and the marshall plan to put the global markets back into boom mode and the current rate of layoffs surpasses that leading up to the crash of 29. in any case, timing it for july is without basis and only amounts to professional capitalists parroting conventional wisdom as though theyve done some calculation.

An inauspicious sign is that in both cases the crimes are considered right and just, even noble, within the doctrinal framework of the perpetrators, and in fact are justified in almost the same words. Bin Laden proclaims that violence is justified in self-defense against the infidels who invade and occupy Muslim lands and against the brutal and corrupt governments they impose there -- words that have considerable resonance in the region even among those who despise and fear him. Bush and Blair proclaim, in almost identical words, that violence is justified to drive evil from our lands. The proclamations of the antagonists are not entirely identical. When bin Laden speaks of "our lands," he is referring to Muslim lands: Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Chechnya, Bosnia, Kashmir, and others; the radical Islamists who were mobilized and nurtured by the CIA and its associates through the 1980s despise Russia, but ceased their terrorist operations in Russia from Afghan bases after the Russians withdrew. When Bush and Blair speak of "our lands" they are, in contrast, referring to the world. The distinction reflects the power that the adversaries command. That either side can speak without shame of eradicating evil in the light of their records... -- that should leave us open-mouthed in astonishment, unless we adopt the easy course of effacing even very recent history.

Air Defenses Stood Down On 911 AFTER ATC Alerts Given for instance regarding next item, mossad could not have issued stand down order without sharing info with bushoilcia. i dont believe it was only an order not to prevent the attack by alien powers. the bushoilcia arranged for the entire event including the anthrax mailing and simply used mossad to accomplish it
The Secret War-Pre-9/11, We Fought A Covert War Against Israel On American Soil the plan here is that, as the investigation of fake terrorism gets closer to the us intelligence community or a faction inside it run by the bushoilcia, they plant the innuendo that israel is the culprit. foxnews, the right wing corporate information ministry feeds the flames just as the idea that janet reno and the clintons were about to launch an invasion of america using chinese troops (the real reason for gun control laws) which then get fanned by hundreds of rush limbaugh juniors across rural right wing bigot america. i have no doubt that israeli mossad was complicit in the whole fake operation, but the fox investigation adds the key point at the end of the innuendo: As Cameron so diplomatically put it in the first segment of his four-part investigation: "There is no indication that the Israelis were involved in the 9-11 attacks, but investigators suspect that the Israelis may have gathered intelligence about the attacks in advance, and not shared it." he has no reason outside of our own government or powerful factions within it can not be guilty to assume that the info was not shared.
Ask the Expert: Deflation protectionHey, economists talk about a lot of things. But that doesn't mean we should take them seriously. After all, these are economists, the guys who didn't figure out until earlier this month that the economy has been in recession since March. All in all, I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for a sustained period of deflation -- that is, price declines -- in the U.S. In fact, the only time we experienced deflation for any length of time was during the 1930's, a decade during which prices declined almost 20 percent. And it took the Great Depression to trigger that spate of declining prices. Unless you think we're going to experience something along those lines again, arranging your portfolio to take advantage of declining prices would seem, well, counterproductive to say the least. But, as I said, I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for a reprise of the 1930s. as hes not an "ecomomist" i was looking for exactly what makes him an "expert." did he see, as i did last christmas, what the economists didnt, that we were in recession? he declines to say. he does however parrot the "once the economy begins to recover" refrain. this a priori assumption univocal in all mass media discourse concerning the economy is based on historical precedents. it is a blatant self contradiction to then assert that a reprise of the 1930s is an unrealistic expectation as it would depend only on which historical precedent is applicable to current conditions, an analysis that is never heard
Argentina's middle classes face ruin: 'I put up my house against a $20,000 loan to set up a market stall, thinking there was still hope for Argentina. But I have no hope in this new government. They are no better than the last. The country is going down the tubes and I am going to lose everything,' said 41-year-old Ricardo Martinez in Buenos Aires yesterday. 'The only thing left to do is renew my Spanish passport and get out.' Viviana Villamil, who works at Morgan Stanley in Buenos Aires, has just built a new home and is three months' pregnant. 'I don't know what to think. All I know is that there are so many people in this country with big debts that they have to find a way to help us.' think that you asked for capitalism and that's what you got. they do have a way to help you: wwiii. just make sure youre on the capitalist side. is the american middle class next?

Did NY Command Center Fuel Tank Cause WTC 7 To Collapse? ok, nobody wants to cause more pain to the heros of 911 or make light of giuliani's effectiveness in allaying peoples fears and anxieties, but it does seem that two decisions that directly resulted in the greater part of the massive death toll were his. first, he authorized the establishment of a triage center at the base of the towers where most of the deaths occured. second is this fuel tank in his 13 million dollar command center against fire department advice. after all, who would have guessed the towers would collapse? but perhaps the giuliani panagyric is a little overstated?
Massive Isreali Spy Operaton Discovered In US a new development. as the transparent lies surrounding 911 and anthrax increasingly unravel (eg the following item) a movement is emerging to give currency to the arab muslim tale that mossad did it wholly unbeknownst to the bushoilcia tyranny. foxnews has been the right wings chief information ministry and they are here stoking this suspicion in the american public discourse. its a lie. at best mossad cooperated with a coup that was engineered by the bushies going back to the campaign when the approaching crash of the global markets became evident and the iraq war plans were originally hatched. the idea expressed by some moslems that unlike clinton the bushoilcia would have favored the swarthy arabic speaking and largely anticapitalist moslems over the israelis is just an extension of their tendency to blame the jews for all the evil in the world.
President Cheney's Health Is An Issue Again more of the increasing "is it just me" discourse. its a syndrome produced by the fact that the press continues to report cheney as concealed in a secure location because either there is some identified threat against his life or one against bush in which case he must be kept safe to take over. the fact that hes had four heart attacks when nobody lives past three never stimulates any of the beautiful mosaic of journalistic voices in our mass media to question this increasingly ridiculous tale. if it was a little ridiculous in the weeks following 911, its absurd now. the internet now displays voices from left and right who rant about the obvious lies that everybody but them seems to be buying, but maybe its only the government and the mass media who gives the lies voice and they create the illusion of reporting common knowledge.
New thermobaric bomb a powerful addition to US arsenal in Afghanistan there are children in those caves (see below)
Iraq Says It Is Capable Of Resisting Any US Assault but resistence is what they want. only a war that produces massive casualties on both sides can sufficiently reduce the working class population to reverse spiralling unemployment and only a massive ground war can call up hundred percent industrial production and this is the only way for the global capitalist market to pull out of the approaching and inevitable cyclical depression.
Bin Laden may be dead - U.S. somewhere way back in my archives is a story from japan stating unequivocally that binladen was killed by a follower possibly a cia plant weeks ago
Bush Predicts 'War Year' in 2002 doesnt predict american death toll
national journal: "The attacks on New York and Washington were an Israeli-engineered attempt at a coup against the government of the United States*" more anti semitic attempts to blame the wtc fake terrorism on israel. this emerges from the arab habit of blaming israel for all oppression. they cant seem to accept that the coup was engineered by the bushoilcia for its own interests with the help of israel. it is the bush/ weinberger/ carlucci/ baker carlyle group who were partners to the arabian binladen plutocracy against which al qaeda is really fighting. here clinton is the tool of the zionists, and bush their victim. the florida election fraud was a shock to the israelis so they tried a coup with the wtc. it was in fact the florida fraud that began the coup and the wtc began its second phase (or third after the 2 trillion dollar embezzlement of the government surplus) the launching of the bushoilcia run transnational capitalist imperialist military conquest of the global markets.

Freedom's Commmander-in-Chief by John McCain: In recognizing the untapped desire of Americans to contribute to their country during war, he is encouraging a citizen army of individuals who can unite all citizens in service to their nation, in both civilian and military capacities, to win this war. In 2001, President Bush was summoned to serve as freedom’s Commander-in-Chief. And he understands, as General MacArthur did fifty years ago, "There is no substitute for victory." mccain and bin laden have a lot in common. both were trumped up in the press over the past few years as foes of the right wing capitalist agenda, but neither from the position of socialist opposition. the spectacular failure of the purported agendas of both served to strenghthen that agenda by several orders of magnitude. and both have extensive historical relationships with the cia. when corporate money replaced popular interests as the determinant principle in american politics, mccain stepped into the limelight as the crusader against the one dollar one vote principle effectively coopting a traditionally left wing oppositional position into the sphere of republican politics and creating the impression that supporting finance reform and being republican were actually compatible. much to everybody in washington's chagrin, finance reform died largely by being overshadowed by the new world after 911 discourse when another cia asset stepped forward.
There is an irresistibly intriguing rumor making the rounds on Capitol Hill today. It is that the Pentagon and the CIA could have nailed Osama bin Laden in Tora Bora last week, but let him escape instead. wash dc gets a clue? heres a better one: osama was assassinated by one of his own men (or a cia plant) for the reward as was reported weeks ago by the japanese. the tale of his escape is just a way to move troops where we like

20,000 American Troops Massing On Iraqi Border: The Pentagon has publicly insisted it is merely rotating troops. But defence analysts say about 24,000 troops have been moved in, with barely a brigade around 4,000 moving out. Mr Powell's advisers and the CIA prefer the search for 'an Iraqi Gorbachev' an attempt to install a more amenable figure than Saddam drawn from within the Ba'ath apparatus. Others, led by the Pentagon and by the National Security Adviser, Condoleezza Rice, think this will fail, getting rid of the tyrant, but not the institution of tyranny. They prefer what they call the Afghan route - bombing in support of ground forces, many of whom are indigenous. The no- fly zones would be extended, a "no-drive" zone would also be enforced, and support for insurgents would come in from Turkey in the north, and from the south. UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan last night warned the US against expanding its war on terrorism to Iraq, saying it would further inflame Mideast tensions. The other big concern is that Saddam Hussein has anthrax and could send a courier to a US city and release it, possibly killing thousands. But some officials in Washington argue that a pre-emptive strike is the best way to deal with the possibility. see my rants going back nine months before 911 when the global recession was clear to me that we would go to war against iraq. how did i know if the war is only a response to the terrorist attack? see also my rants that the anthrax was faked by the right wing and would somehow be used to justify war against iraq. as lame an excuse as it is now that a domestic source could not be concealed, theyre using it anyway. so we systematically bombed iraqi anti aircraft installations all the way to baghdad, it was only a response to them shooting at us. so were going to move troops to somalia, its only because al quaeda will set up shop there. so we give the green light to israel rolling tanks over palestine, its only a response to suicide bombers. so we occupy afghanistan and inadvertently attack an iranian oil tanker, these are only our response to terrorist network threats. so all these things look just like preparations for large scale invasion of iraq, its only a coincidence. iq test: is there a causal connection between this item and the following?

There are certainly reasons to doubt that this turn in the cycle will match the historical norm; and there are reasons to worry that this recovery might be more sluggish than previous ones. First, the US economic slowdown was not the result of higher interest rates in response to an inflationary threat. Rather, the chief cause of the slowdown has been the investment bust, that followed the investment boom, which was in turn encouraged by the technology bubble. The resulting imbalances will take time to work through. Second, and related, the collapse in corporate profits in the past year is unprecedented in the postwar period. The inventory correction might have run its course, soon. The painful process of corporate restructuring, to restore profitability, has much further to run. Third, the world economy is experiencing a co-ordinated slowdown. The US economy's recovery will not be helped by foreign demand. Fourth, US consumer spending has been fairly robust, this year. Income growth has dropped, the savings rate is still very low, and unemployment has jumped from 4.9 to 5.7 per cent in the past three months. Expectations for a consumer-led recovery need to be suitably modest. So should be expectations of a rally led by technology spending. Which makes the rally in tech stocks particularly remarkable. There are some signs that technology and telecommunications spending might be close to the bottom, an opinion voiced by Cisco, Intel and, this week, by Oracle. But plenty of others have rather more sorry stories to tell, including Lucent and Ciena on Thursday, both of which fell 16 per cent on their warnings. There is little prospect of sales growth next year. But the sector's problems are secular as well as cyclical. A number of industries suffer from post-bubble overcapacity. The sector is trading on about 50 times 2002 earnings. Even with the Fed providing easy money, surely valuations still matter? tired of capitalists happy talking an inevitable market recovery?
Industrial slowdown in US may be nearing its end: Signs that the US industrial slowdown might be nearing an end were offset on Friday by news of a sharp risein underlying consumer prices. Output from US factories, mines and utilities continued to fall last month but at a lower rate than expected and at the slowest pace since August, providing more evidence that the longest industrial decline since the Great Depression of the 1930s might be nearing an end. That hope was given another boost by reports of a sharp drop in stockpiles of unsold goods. disinformation inc. when production drops off an historic high, its bound to begin rapidly and slow as it reaches lower levels. the dumping of inventory came completely from the auto sector which took deep losses to offer zero percent financing in order to dump an excessive surplus. only peter pan could think this is a sign of the end of a slowdown

Pravda.RU Secret interviews with Bin Laden revealed: However, Arabic-speaking Pravda.Ru contacts were present watching this video clip and it can be stated that what was claimed and seen are two different things. What was seen were video shots of Osama Bin Laden (no doubt it was him, unless the video industry used its best technicians to produce a professional-looking montage), speaking in the distance with a group of fellows, talking about the September 11th events in great detail. Whether or not the voice was his can be debatable. The Arabic-speaking contact of Pravda.Ru in Lisbon pointed out that anyone could have dubbed on the voices because there are no close-ups of the lips of the people while speaking. What he could hear was a lot of mumbling and during the mumbling, the supposed translation comes up with some incriminating phrases. Why such potentially damning evidence should have been left in a house in Kandahar, conveniently discovered after a supposed victory by the US-led alliance, giving for the first time the only real evidence against Osama Bin Laden, is highly suspicious. Also suspicious is the fact that Osama Bin Laden mentioned names of those held responsible for the hijackings. If Osama Bin Laden has the means and intelligence to fight the Soviet Union during ten years, to play cat and mouse with the USA for another ten years and to see the Taleban walking home, armed after what was supposed to be one of the mightiest military attacks in history, himself only he knows where, the second video seems too good to be true.

U.S. Withdraws From ABM Treaty iq test: what is the connection between this and the following item?
Retail Sales Plunge Record 3.7 Percent a) there is no cause effect relationship b) marx was right about the relationship between capitalism and war c) the only connection is that people are so worried about terrorists that they arent buying their kids xboxes d) the afghani refugees were buying all the xboxes
Bush Invokes Executive Privilege any of you moron right wingers believe that this pig that you stuck us with is not trying to hide something incriminating?
Atta's Father Dismisses Videotape i believe him. the flight training school in jeb bush's florida run by cuban exiles stinks all over of cia
Pentagon Releases bin Laden Tape not only is everything said even in the administration's own translation ambiguous, but no explanation is offered as to why this staged performance was produced in the first place. why is an alleged recruitment video staged to look like a spontaneous conversation between guerillas?
Jews' Plan To Kill US Congressman, Blow Up Mosque Thwarted uh oh. the bushoilcia setting up a contingency play in case they start to get busted for staging the wtc and anthrax. blame the jews.
Bin Laden's spokesman, Abu Ghaith, is seen recounting how on Sept. 11 he raced to tell bin Laden about the attacks "and bin Laden made a gesture with his hands to say, 'I know, I know,' " a U.S. official said. wow, a smoking gun. that must mean he knew in advance of the attack, not in advance of being told about it by this particular person. more press telling you what the video shows before showing it to you. comments about "expectations" seem to imply what bin laden expected when he staged the attack, but they may only arise from the fact that he heard about the attack before he saw the video and read the details. he refers to another al qaeda as not knowing about it because he didn't tell him, but this might only mean since he got news of it himself. the press is now enlisted in preparing us for how to interpret these comments. i have no doubt that he is pleased at the success of the attack, but so far he has attributed the success to allah not to himself. whether this is really any different has to wait until they show us the video, the most hyped newsreel in history, if they ever do. you can see that they considered claiming there are secret orders delivered on it so they cant show it and limit us to their interpretation, but this wont be enough. what is most weird about it is that it is supposed to look like a spontaneous conversation when it is obviously a staged performance.

'Smoking Gun' Bin Laden Tape Prepared for Release spinning so hard you can smell the smoke
Translators interpret bin Laden tape: sitting in what looks like a common room for that part of the world, calmly discussing the events of Sept. 11 like it was last weekend's golf game," said Sen. Richard J. Durbin, D-Ill., after viewing the tape. "Osama bin Laden is laughing, grinning and marveling at the destruction and death of Sept. 11." from the sound of it, they did a hack editing job that they know a lot of people arent going to buy. so first they try inuendo, assuring us that it's a smoking gun. then they play around with words like "marvelling" and "gloating" which carry more or less connotations of culpability. fleischer says here that only security concerns would keep them from airing it, but it looks to me like they're just figuring whether we'll swallow it or not.
CBS Plans Military Reality Show: We feel that "American Fighter Pilots" fulfills the desire of today's audiences for patriotic fare that's both exciting and entertaining" I feel it fulfills the desire of the bushoilcia tyranny for war propaganda. a reality show, what an imagination on these pigs. I wonder whose paying to produce it?
Federal Government to investigate Enron pension plans: Many Enron employees lost 70 percent to 90 percent of their retirement assets after the company indicated that it would re-state profit reports capitalists dont exploit the working class, they provide them with jobs and opportunities. that's why we should remove all the controls and regulations and taxes that tie their hands and limit their powers.
U.S. ties to Saudi elite may be hurting war on terrorism which is the greater threat to your safety? islamic militants or greedy capitalist corporate whores in your government?
Pentagon: Hunt for bin Laden may take months getting the iraqi invasion past american and national pr will take months. mean time we have to keep the war ball in the air so we moved our al qaeda mole to a secret location to die of kidney failure while we move the war to survivor iv: the search for evil
Saudi clans working with U.S. oil firms may be tied to bin Laden whose at the top of the al qaeda pyramid?
Enron officials snub Congress: Wednesday's inquiry is designed to help Congress and the public "understand as best we can what structurally went wrong, what mistakes were made and what mistakes were not noticed" some people dont get their doors kicked in when they refuse to show up in court, especially when they have a permanent guest bedroom in the east wing of the white house. there were no "mistakes" at enron. its board of directors walked off with 100 million dollars leaving their employees and stock holders holding the empty bag. just good capitalism.
Bush to withdraw from ABM treaty: With the decision, Bush takes the first step toward fulfilling a campaign pledge to develop and deploy an anti-missile system that he says will protect the United States and its allies, including Russia, from missiles fired by rogue nations. Bush has said the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks heightened the need for such a system. Russia and many U.S. allies have warned Bush that withdrawing from the pact might trigger a nuclear arms race. Critics of the plan also question whether an effective system can be developed without enormous expense. whose expense? guess. after embezzling two trillion dollars for their corporate sponsorship, the rest goes to shore up their military power. this new spirit of bipartisanship looks just like a right wing wish list rubber stamp. besides the hundred billion dollar annually money pit defense industry workfare, this also frees them to use nukes on baghdad.

Condit: 'I'm Running' poor chandra levy will never be found now that we have terrorists to befuddle our minds. have you heard anything about bush's approval rating lately? it must still be up at 90 percent then like the day we were all recovering from the shock of being attacked. if it drops, all they need is a sex scandal to remind their idiot right wing constituency why they vote for fascists
Halliburton Stock Dives 40% On Friday - Another Enron? dick cheney and kenneth lay: both dukes in the bushoilcia dictatorship. please please compare the coverage (or coverup) this issue is being accorded in the us monopoly corporate press to what they managed to inform you of concerning clinton's whitewater dealings complete with televised hearings and secretaries' testimony as a guide to evaluating the right wing claim the the media is controlled by a "liberal" agenda
Ramadan 30-Part TV Special: The Protocols Of The Elders Of Zion also includes an american's antisemitic evaluation in which henry ford's ruthless ambition including destruction of competitors is "industrial genius" while the bankers who he saw as trying to take his business from him are evil power brokers
The Times of India: the FBI was told to "back off" investigating one of Osama bin Laden’s brothers, Abdullah, who was linked to "the Saudi-funded World Association of Muslim Youth (WAMY), a suspected terrorist organisation," whose accounts have still not frozen by the US treasury despite "being banned by Pakistan some weeks ago and India claiming it was linked to an organisation involved in bombing in Kashmir". Newsnight said there was a long history of "shadowy" American connections with Saudi Arabia, not least the two presidents Bush’s "business dealings" with the bin Ladens and another more insidious link revealed by the former head of the American visa section in Jeddah. The official said he had been concerned about visas issued to large numbers of "unqualified" men "with no family links or any links with America or Saudi Arabia", only to find out later that it "was not visa fraud" but part of a scheme in which young men "recruited by Osama bin Laden" were being sent for "terrorist training by the CIA" after which they were sent on to Afghanistan. i believe bin laden himself is a cia trained mole set up as a comic book villain to provide the propaganda of threat necessary to wage whatever war the bushoilcia corporate dictatorship sees as furthering their interests.
The International Jew.by Henry Ford. Introduction arabs breathe new life into protocols of zion. it's not surprising that they are incensed by the unfair persecution of henry ford's antisemitism as "mr. ford," a man with no desire for world domination himself loved dark skinned moslems. his quoted statement in answer to: The Jews [claim] that "The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion" were forgeries" that "No matter what they are, they fit what is going on" only points to the principle that led to their invention. more of the fond moslem position that the bushoilcia corporate dictatorship are poor little lambs being led astray by the wily jews no matter how such leading multiplies their global domination.
the firm used to buy many of the "put" options – where a trader, in effect, bets on a share price fall – on United Airlines stock was headed until 1998 by "Buzzy" Krongard, now executive director of the CIA. Until 1997, Mr Krongard was chairman of Alex Brown Inc, America's oldest investment banking firm. Alex Brown was acquired by Bankers Trust, which in turn was bought by Deutsche Bank. His last post before resigning to take his senior role in the CIA was to head Bankers Trust – Alex Brown's private client business, dealing with the accounts and investments of wealthy customers around the world. i posted this when it first came out, but in the light of the "most compelling evidence yet" of bin laden's involvement, we should recall if any even more compelling evidence points elsewhere and that the first principle of police investigation is everyone with motive and opportunity is a suspect until they are ruled out
CRG -- Suppressed Details of Criminal Insider Trading lead directly into the CIA`s Highest Ranks: CIA Executive Director "Buzzy" Krongard managed Firm that handled "put" Options on UAL why the bushoilcia dictatorship really needs secret tribunals so bad theyre willing to alienate their own idiot right wing constituency
New Tape Points to Bin Laden furthermore, after seeming to endorse the party line that bin laden's involvement is confirmed by this mysterious video, the washington post goes on to lay out the history of all the evidence against him with every piece described as unconfirmed hearsay. this video although deemed "legitimate" which even the post needs to put in quotes, was made for no apparent reason other than speculatively for "recruitment." someone just happened to be filming the bad guys sitting around a dinner table talking. living in a cave, they don't have to ever be shown with any afghani citizen or official anywhere around. the videos could be made in nevada for all the evidence they provide except that you never get such grainy quality outside of the third world. while legitimate authorities are cited as claiming that the secret evidence they've seen justifies an "indictment," wwiii is being planned on the basis of a conviction.
New Tape Points to Bin Laden: describing the damage around the wtc...as being much greater than he had expected... praised God for far greater success than he expected, using language that indicated he was familiar with the planning of the attacks, according to one of the officials...the most conclusive evidence of a connection...according to government officials who have been briefedon its contents or have read transcripts. if this is the most conclusive evidence, what they had when they carpet bombed afghanistan and punished hundreds of thousands of powerless refugees must have been even more flimsy. after overflight filming was allowed of the site, anyone might have said it was worse than they expected. anyone who thinks the us is the great satan could praise god for "success." if there were anything more incriminating than these statements, the washington post would have cited it. instead we have the textual interpretation of officials who were briefed and read translated transcripts.
Feds seek steel tariffs as LTV shutsdown more capitalist hypocricy: when you dominate a market, claim that protectionism is a moral turpitude bordering on bolshevism that is unfair and destructive of prosperity for all, until deregulation starts to work against you. then push all the protectionism you can.
Egypt Warns that Israeli War could spread to regional war and then wwiii. of course, this could not be just what the bushoilcia transnational corporate capitalist state needs to get out of the global depression its laissez faire stupidity has created.
Bin Laden's Mother Not Angry With Son we will destroy the taliban and ensure the perpetuity of humanitarian crisis because some politicians allowed bin laden to live there, but we will not impose a single sanction on the super power broker and bushoilcia partner bin laden family as long as they promise he's disowned and that he hasn't communicated with them since Sept. 11, even though we know they have (see french reports of his hospital visits by them and the cia below).

Of the billions apparently secretly sucked out of Enron, the bulk went disguised as at least 600 billion dollars, if not even more, at key moments, to temporarily prop up the U.S. stock markets. That is, some 20 billion dollars, multiplied by the black magic of fractional reserves to 600 billion dollars. Some who count beans faster than others, contend it is actually many trillions of dollars, supported by fractional/fictional reserves piled on derivatives piled on drifting sand in some uncharted oily desert. for the past year i have been claiming that the markets were being artificially propped up, kept in the black despite snowballing corporate profit crash. i speculated that the money must be coming from the financial sector. when enron crashed, given their connections with citicorp, i said theres the money. the employee 401ks and masses of small stock holders foot the bill for keeping the indexes artificially propped up to avoid a sell off panic, bringing on the inevitable depression before the world war stimulus package gets underway.

Record High Temperatures in Midwest there is one factor that can explain this as something other than the worst case scenario of global warming projections. we are only just completing the eleven year sunspot cycle. now and for the next decade is the real test. if it's the sunspots, the climate should start returning to normal. there is still some increase owing to increased greenhouse gasses, but the effect may be smaller than they now appear. for the record, i dont think so. i think that, rather than the alarmists their painted as by corporate capitalists trying to protect themselves from costly environmental protectionist measures, scientists tend to play down the hazards because they are all afraid of appearing excessively alarmist. my money is on their worst case scenario being understated

The diplomat said Iraq would "swallow Israel up" if his country is attacked. iraq suffering from same delusions of grandeur as the taliban. they base ideas of their power on a history when american covert action aided them in defeating america's enemies. the coming wwiii of the transnational corporate capitalist state against all its enemies will incinerate iraq like it incinerated the taliban. they will use tactical nukes, chemical and bio weapons along with unmanned aircraft and the first missile lobbed anywhere in israel's direction will be the green light.

Experts divided on recession's length: "This is one of the most unusual and dangerous economic downturns on record," and not just because of the terrorist attacks Sept. 11. the bullshit capitalist debate between u shaped and v shaped rebounds ends on salon.com. how long before its over on mass media?

After analysts warned that the financial system might collapse within 10 days, the government capped cash withdrawals at $250 a week for the next three months. another opportunity to remark who was right and who was wrong in projections. third largest latin american economy goes into crash mode. still the us media discourse of unstoppable recovery in 2002 rolls on.

Rep. Ron Paul's Heroic Address On The 'War On Terrorism' when a right winger says what the godless left wing has always said its "heroic"
Wall St.'s 70's show: "Every day there's some reason why people shouldn't own stocks and yet the market continues to climb that wall off [sic]worry, Going forward my guess is more of the same." There's plenty to worry about. The nation's unemployment rate is expected to rise to a five-year high of 5.6 percent in November when the Labor Department releases monthly jobs data Friday. In addition, the economy probably lost 210,000 jobs, economists surveyed by Briefing.com predict, after shedding 415,000 jobs in October. Before that, the National Association of Purchasing Management's index of manufacturing activity on Monday is expected to rise slightly, to to 41.9 in November. But the under-50 reading will mark the sixteenth straight monthly contraction for the factory sector. why does market rise in the face of univocal negative indicators? is there a strategy to transfer money from banking sector into markets to stave off a panic selloff? is this what really happened to enron? a corporate sacrifice mostly at the expense of many small stockholders and employee retirement plans? see below for connections between enron, bcci and the recently resigned head of banking commission senator phil gramm
