‘Anthrax killer’ remains a mystery

Posted by seumasach on August 12, 2008

 

The FBI’s accusations against dead scientist Bruce Ivins are full of holes. The case may be closed but it isn’t solved

11th August

Case closed. The FBI has found the “Anthrax Killer” – and he acted alone. And now that he’s committed suicide, just at the moment the Feds were about to finally snare the diabolical menace who arguably brought utter chaos in days following the September 11 attacks when he’d sent deadly letters to Democratic officials and members of the media, his guilt couldn’t be clearer.

Petition against forced vaccination

Posted by seumasach on August 12, 2008

Please sign this petition and/or please pass this on for others to sign:-
http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/forcedvaccines/
The government does not guarantee that your child, children or grandchildren will not have a severe reaction to vaccines nor develop long term chronic illness as a result. If your child does suffer harm, you can guarantee your child and your family will be dumped by the Department of Health and our government just like all the other children and their families in the past.  
There is also no provision to screen out and protect children at high risk of harm.
Vaccines are like all medicines. They do cause harm and our government fails to monitor the extent of that harm and covers it up.

Russia bids to rid Georgia of its folly

Posted by alfied on August 12, 2008

Asia Times

MOSCOW – One word explains why the United States, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and the European Union have obliged themselves to sit on their hands, while Russia’s defends its citizens, and national interests, in the Caucasus, and liberates Georgians from the folly of their unpopular president, Mikheil Saakashvili. That word is Kosovo. Read the rest of this entry »

Brzezinski’s Georgia Puppets Attack Russia – WWIII In Sight

Posted by seumasach on August 11, 2008

WASHINGTON, DC — Clearly playing the role of the aggressor, the NATO puppet regime of Mikhail Saakashvili has carried out a midnight sneak attack against Russian peacekeepers in the province of South Ossetia. Those peacekeepers have been there for 15 years under an agreement with Georgia. Saakashvili is a protégé and creature of Zbigniew Brzezinski, the foreign policy boss of the Barack Obama presidential campaign. As is explained in my book Obama- The Postmodern Coup: The Making of a Manchurian Candidate, Saakashvili was brought to power in 2003-2004 by a people power coup or CIA color revolution, directed by the Brzezinski clan and financed by George Soros, one of Obama’s key financial backers. In a very real sense, it is the Obama campaign which has attacked Russia in South Ossetia.

Plucky little Georgia? No, the cold war reading won’t wash

Posted by seumasach on August 11, 2008

 

It is crudely simplistic to cast Russia as the sole villain in the clashes over South Ossetia. The west would be wise to stay out

Mark Almond

The Guardian

9th August, 2008

For many people the sight of Russian tanks streaming across a border in August has uncanny echoes of Prague 1968. That cold war reflex is natural enough, but after two decades of Russian retreat from those bastions it is misleading. Not every development in the former Soviet Union is a replay of Soviet history.

Media Disinformation: BBC distorts the News from the Georgia Region

Media Disinformation: BBC distorts the News from the Georgia Region

Global Research, August 10, 2008
Chimes of Freedom

As usual, the BBC is twisting and distorting the news coming out of the Georgia region. We keep being told that around 1500 have been killed in Georgia, the inference being that this has resulted from Russian bombing.

Not so, the casualties are in Ossetia.

While the Ossetians claimed over 1000 dead the BBC neither reported this or any newsreel coming out of Ossetia showing the destruction caused by the Georgian shelling of the breakaway republic.

All we are getting is one-sided reports of the destruction being caused by the Russians.

Unlike News 24 which is its international news carrier, the BBC website does make some mention of Ossetian casualties:

“We left our town because the situation there is worse than anything I’ve seen in 18 years of conflict. Houses are being hit by rockets and heavy artillery, aircraft are bombing the roads.”

Since yesterday, Russia Today was reporting the complete destruction of Ossetia’s capital by Georgian shelling. Again, the destruction of the Ossetian capital was never reported by the BBC. Read the rest of this entry »
