Shining Light on the “Black World”
In January of 2002, the Washington Post ran a story detailing a CIA plan put forward to President Bush shortly after 9/11 by CIA Director George Tenet titled, “Worldwide Attack Matrix,” which was “outlining a clandestine anti-terror campaign in 80 countries around the world.

By Stephen Gowans(What’s Left)
This is a war between revolutionaries and counter-revolutionaries; between nationalists and quislings; between Zimbabwean patriots and the US and Britain.
Should an election be carried out when a country is under sanctions and it is has been made clear to the electorate that the sanctions will be lifted only if the opposition party is elected? Should a political party which is the creation of, and is funded by, hostile foreign forces, and whose program is to unlatch the door from within to provide free entry to foreign powers to establish a neo-colonial rule, be allowed to freely operate? Should the leaders of an opposition movement that takes money from hostile foreign powers and who have made plain their intention to unseat the government by any means available, be charged with treason? These are the questions that now face (have long faced) the embattled government of Zimbabwe, and which it has answered in its own way, and which other governments, at other times, and have answered in theirs.

Is Mugabe the new Bin-Laden, the ultimate incarnation of evil, the anti-Christ himself.?Given the intensity of the media campaign against him you could be forgiven for thinking so. Not a word about the West’s economic war against Zimbabwe; not a word about how the Brits reneged on the Lancaster House agreement; not a word about how the West manipulates and funds the opposition and those bodies such as NGOs which it styles as “civil society”. And all this from people who think they can just waltz into African countries and take what they want. Obviously they think Africa is a soft touch, at least compared to the Middle East where the waltz is proving more of a dance of death for London and Washington’s vain pretensions to world domination.
And perhaps this is the key to what is happening: after Iraq and Lebanon they need a war they can win and what would be a “damned little sideshow” in the Great War on Terror comes to dominate our lives daily hate sessions at 6 and 10 pm. Meantime Bin-Laden’s alleged comrades enjoy mere house arrest. As in Orwell’s 1984 things are getting messy and we need daily briefings as to who the enemie du jour precisely is.
But with the changing of the guard in London and Washington and Sarkozy, Europe’s leading neo-con madman, preaching to the Israelis about sharing Jerusalem with the Palestinians, it does seem that the war in terror is beginning to wind down to be replaced by a return to the doctrine of the City on the Hill whereby our influence follows from our sheer moral righteousness plus our global networks of subversion( the Soros, Brzezinski school). In other words, pure fantasy. Whether it can go as far as an actual invasion of Zimbabwe,by reviving the notion of the Heart of Darkness, they are constructing, at the very least, a diversion from the mess they are in in Iraq where the military leadership has already attempted, on its own initiative, to extricate itself.
Whatever the motivation behing this campaign may be, now is the moment to defend the sovereignty of Zimbabwe and counter the endless stream of lies. We particularly recommend Stephen Gowan’s blog What’s Left for in-depth analysis of the imperialist campaign against Mugabe.

Attempts to mount regional pressure on Mugabe to call off Friday’s presidential election were hampered today when it emerged the South African president, Thabo Mbeki, would not be attending an emergency meeting of African leaders.

June 23, 2008 (EIRNS)—While Wall Street and other media don’t want to admit the reality of the systemic financial collapse, the many obituaries for U.S. banks that fill their pages make it hard to miss. Things have become tough in the “post Bear Stearns” environment, the Wall Street Journal complains today.

Truly exciting and historic moments have been fabricated around US presidential campaigns for as long as I can recall, generating bullshit on a grand scale

“Who rules East Europe commands the Heartland;
Who rules the Heartland commands the world-island;
Who rules the world-island controls the world.”
This is the Mackinder doctrine, the foundation of Anglo-American supremacy: the inexorable convergence of Russia and Europe sounds the death-knell of that supremacy.
Click here for an earlier Novosti article on this question.
BRUSSELS, June 25 (RIA Novosti) – The European Union is seeking closer ties with Russia under President Dmitry Medvedev, the EU foreign policy supremo said in an interview published on Wednesday.

In March, 2003 my sister, Army Captain Chaplain Fran E. Stuart was deployed to Iraq with the rest of her battalion, from Ft. Campbell, Kentucky, the 101st Airborne. The uncharted desert would not only hold uncertainty for Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom, but if she survived during her one-year deployment, she would return to the U. S. forever changed.
Although the changes that would occur two years to the day from her return home were changes she never could have fathomed. Not only had the desert sand, gun blasts and heat penetrated the armor of her psyche, but a carcinogen did too. It made a home in her body, mixed between the Anthrax Vaccine, depleted uranium, crude oil smog, and contaminated water dished up with every meal. It would, in two years, become part of the wrapping around her inner organs like an Octopus, gathering its fuel from her central abdomen. The volleyball size tumor would become the pregnancy she never had — and the birth of cancer she’d never forget.

Despite Riamondo’s endorsement of the oxymoronic puritanical capitalism known as ‘libertarianism’, this article is a biting critique of the War party
The idea that warfare helps the economy is a prime example of Bizarro logic, which has pervaded our collective consciousness since the 9/11 terrorist attacks, ideological fallout from the explosion of national hysteria that followed. In Bizarro World, as we all know, the laws of nature and logic are inverted, so that up is down, freedom is slavery, and ignorance is strength. In the post-9/11 era, as I have often pointed out, we have finally arrived in a world where two plus two can and indeed often does equal five – if it suits the purposes of the War Party to deem it so.

I think this article is an example of how sloppy the mob are getting. I particularly like this part “He will be under round-the-clock surveillance in a MI5 safehouse and is specifically banned from contacting Bin Laden.” Imagine that, not letting Abu Qatada have a quick chinwag with his best buddy.
Abu Qatada will be required to wear an electronic tag
Suspected Al Qaeda leader Abu Qatada is celebrating his release from prison with the release of a book in which he urges Muslims to commit terrorist attacks in the West.
In the 71-page tract, published in English translation on the internet, he repeatedly claims that fighting jihad, holy war, is obligatory for all Muslims and urges them to ‘terrorise’ non-believers. Read the rest of this entry »
