 Neocons’ Middle East Scheme Is Backfiring posted by William Hughes via Portland imc, 2006-08-13 10:00:08
Back in 1996, a clique of Neocons, led by Richard Perle, concocted a scheme for Israel to “destabilize” the Middle East. The Palestinians were to be crushed and Iraq and Lebanon balkanized. The U.S. and UK were conned into doing the Neocons’ dirty work in Iraq. Now, Hezbollah fighters have tossed a huge wrench into the not-so-clever plot. Instead of Israel becoming “safer,” the Neocons have put its citizens at risk and its army in danger of defeat. (full story)

  Lobbying for Armageddon posted by Sarah Posner via strafe, 2006-08-06 18:44:10
"While the crisis at the Israel-Lebanon border drew more mainstream media attention to CUFI's activities, Hagee's supporters have long known that leading Republicans are listening. Rabbi Daniel Lapin, a prominent Jewish ally of the evangelical right (and friend of Jack Abramoff) has said that Hagee "without question, yes, absolutely" has the ear of the White House. Hagee's annual Night to Honor Israel at his church has drawn prominent Republicans, including Tom DeLay, who was the keynote speaker in 2002." (full story and 2 comments)

Israel Incorporates Postmodern Strategies in Warfare posted by via MIM, 2006-08-05 06:12:35
This is a fascinating article about how the IDF is studying some revolutionary thinkers (Debord, Deleuze and Guattari) in order to help them work with urban space and decentralized warfare. It's interesting too if anyone has read Antonio Negri's Multitude since he spends some time talking about the State and Capital trying to adopt decentralized warfare. The IDF apparently is experimenting with this in Palestine. (full story and 1 comments)

Richard Perle: A Serial Warmonger! posted by William Hughes, 2006-06-26 05:34:30
He accused President George Bush of cowardice. He said, “Bush blinked” and authorized the European coalition (EU-3) “to approach Tehran with proposals to reward the mullahs if they promised to end their nuclear weapons program...The mullahs don’t blink--they glare...I know it is not too late for us, not to give substance to Bush’s words, not too late to redeem our honor.” I had to wonder if Perle cleared this personal attack on Bush, with Cheney? Rumsfeld? And, who is he to talk about redeeming “honor?” He doesn't’ have any! (full story and 1 comments)

US journalists targeted by Totalitarian Bush regime posted by nann, 2006-03-07 04:27:20
Bush and his ultra-right honchos are really pissed this time – in their efforts to track down a US loyalist, who spilt the beans on domestic spying, the Bush gestapo are now targeting journos and the free press. All the ‘security’ agencies at this megalomaniac’s disposal have been commandeered for the task. This attack on the free press is yet another devastating blow directed at the already battered body of American democracy and liberty. America, the home of the brave and the land of the free, has been relegated to the historical record. This new land is an abominable aberration of the original.
“..and we all shine on..” – in the dark!

 Christian Activism in Oz: Pine Gap Protest posted by Sean O'Reilly, 2006-03-06 11:50:23
On Friday in the Alice Springs Magistrate’s Court, magistrate Melanie Little found me not guilty of obstructing a Commonwealth official. The charge, which carries a maximum 2 years imprisonment, arose out of the Pine Gap 6’s action in December under the banner of Christians Against All Terrorism. After four of the group had been arrested inside the base attempting to carry out a citizen’s inspection, Jessica Morrison and I were detained by Commonwealth Protective Services (CPS) officers as we vigiled in support at the base entrance. As the traffic banked up in what eventually was a 4-hour lockdown of Pine Gap, I was arrested by officer David Parker after questioned his authority for searching our vehicle and removing cameras, banners and other belongings. On Monday, the assistant federal prosecutor for the Northern Territory, Mr. Paul Usher, presented evidence provided by Parker, fellow CPS officer, Veronica Maass, a further CPS officer and 2 N.T police officers.

Oz Military targets Australian Society posted by Dale Mills, 2006-01-03 03:49:51
“Dead and wounded dissidents, if identifiable, must be removed immediately by the police ... When being reported, dissident and own casualties are categorised merely as dead or wounded. To inhibit propaganda exploitation by the dissidents the cause of the casualties (for example, ‘shot’) is not reported. A follow-up operation should be carried out to maintain the momentum of the dispersing crowd.” (full story)

The Art of Distraction posted by tide, 2005-06-15 07:28:54
The most effective form of crowd control is distraction, from the Roman Colosseum to Mao Zedong’s domestic steel furnaces, leaders of the past and present all understand that the focus of the masses should never be directed at government or its leaders. Few (if any) of today’s leaders or governments could withstand the rigour of sustained attention from the population. (full story)
