In These New Times

“In these new times, in spite of the dangers, the most brutal force, the most fearful night, we are engaged in the fight to survive.” No Novo Tempo-Ivan Lins, Vitor Martins

There has always been a war on terror dating back to the great anti-Catholic scares on which Great Britain was built ,the anarchist plots through to the communist menace and the evil empire. This one is aimed at creating a clash of civilizations between Christendom and Islam.

Bin Laden is dead-long live “Bin Laden”

Posted by inthesenewtimes on August 18, 2010

Assessing the evidence, Angelo M. Codevilla, a former U.S. intelligence officer who studied Soviet disinformation techniques during the Cold War and a professor of international relations at Boston University, wryly concluded that “Elvis Presley is more alive today than Osama bin Laden.”

In the trigger-happy post-9/11 world, the favoured way to instigate a war is to demand that the designated “evildoer” prove a negative.

The consequences of a US war crime

By Tom Eley

WSWS

The Iraqi city of Fallujah continues to suffer the ghastly consequences of a US military onslaught in late 2004.

According to the authors of a new study, “Cancer, Infant Mortality and Birth Sex-Ratio in Fallujah, Iraq 2005–2009,” the people of Fallujah are experiencing higher rates of cancer, leukemia, infant mortality, and sexual mutations than those recorded among survivors in Hiroshima and Nagasaki in the years after those Japanese cities were incinerated by US atomic bomb strikes in 1945.

Wall Street Is Laundering Drug Money and Getting Away with It

Wall Street has been caught laundering massive amounts of drug money. So why isn’t anybody being punished? July 16, 2010 |

This piece originally appeared at Campaign for America’s Future. It has been expanded for this publication.

Too-big-to-fail is a much bigger problem than you thought. We’ve all read damning accounts of the government saving banks from their risky subprime bets, but it turns out that the Wall Street privilege problem is far more deeply ingrained in the U.S. legal system than the simple bailouts witnessed in 2008. America’s largest banks can engage in flagrantly criminal activity on a massive scale and emerge almost completely unscathed. The latest sickening example comes from Wachovia Bank: Accused of laundering $380 billion in Mexican drug cartel money, the financial behemoth is expected to emerge with nothing more than a slap on the wrist thanks to an official government policy which protects megabanks from criminal charges.

Ensnaring terrorists demands creativity

by Stephan Salisbury

The Liberty City Seven, the Fort Dix Six, the Detroit Ummah Conspiracy, the Newburgh Four – each has had their fear-filled day in the sun. None of these plots ever came close to happening. How could they? All were bogus from the get-go: money to buy missiles or cell phones or shoes and fancy duds – provided by the authorities; plans for how to use the missiles and bombs and cell phones – provided by authorities; cars for transport and demolition – issued by the authorities; facilities for carrying out the transactions – leased by those same authorities. Played out on landscapes manufactured by federal imagineers, the climax of each drama was foreordained. The failure of the plots would then be touted as the success of the investigations and prosecutions. Read the rest of this entry »

• IT is particularly difficult for Cuba’s enemies to justify the reason for U.S. citizens being prohibited to travel freely to Cuba.

Approximately 10 years ago, almost at the end of his second term, President William Clinton attempted to restore that right to his compatriots. At that time he affirmed that allowing citizens to travel to Cuba would be in the interest of the United States, as the best means of influencing the island. Read the rest of this entry »

Bin Laden, the Taliban, Zawahiri: Britain’s done business with them all

Posted by inthesenewtimes on July 6, 2010

“Blowback” theory is a polite way of saying that al-Qaida is a US/UK intelligence operation which can serve as both “friends” and “enemies”. Above all, they provide cover for the false flag operations which drive US/UK foreign policy.

Mark Curtis

Guardian

5th July, 2010

When the London bombers struck five years ago, many people blamed the invasion of Iraq for inspiring them. But the connection between 7/7 and British foreign policy goes much deeper. The terrorist threat to Britain is partly “blowback”, resulting from a web of British covert operations with militant Islamist groups stretching back decades. And while terrorism is held up as the country’s biggest security challenge, Whitehall’s collusion with radical Islam is continuing.
