US and Israel plan for dissolution of Iraq
The idea of "the dissolution of Iraq into a Shi'ite state, a Sunni state and the separation of the Kurdish part" was voiced by veteran Zionist military correspondent Ze’ev Schiff in Ha'aretz on 2 June 1982
It was devised as part of the divide-and-rule strategy laid out by Zionist writer Oded Yinon in his "Strategy for Israel in the 1980s," published in Kivunim (Directions), A Journal for Judaism and Zionism.
Published by the World Zionist Organization in occupied Jerusalem in February 1982.
(It was translated by the late anti-Zionist writer and activist Israel Shahak and is widely available.)
A Clean Break — paper drawn up by US Paul Wolfowitz and others
The idea of splitting the Shi'ah in Iraq from the rest of the country was a cornerstone of the neo-Conservative strategy laid out in "A Clean Break" a paper drawn up by American Zionist government officials Richard Perle, Douglas Feith, David Wurmser, and Paul Wolfowitz in 1996 for the then Zionist Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Then in 2000 the neo-Conservative Project for a New American Century wrote Rebuilding America’s Defenses on the basis of the "Clean Break."
The American version of the strategy for a partition of Iraq appeared in the article "The Three-State Solution" published in The New York Times on 25 November 2003 by Leslie Gelb (President Emeritus of the US Council on Foreign Relations).
US and West's occupation-for-oil war on Iraq continues
The same idea was reiterated, this time with "bi-partisan support" in the article by Gelb and US Democratic Senator Joseph Biden in "Unity through Autonomy in Iraq," in The New York Times on 1 May 2006.
Then on 8 October 2006 the London Sunday Times reported that the partition of Iraq along religious and ethnic lines was one of the suggestions that the Baker-Hamilton commission was advancing.

'Kill Anyone Still Alive': American Special Ops in Somalia
Written by Chris Floyd

War on terror — Radio and TV — Nuclear Weapons — Somalia

Mogadishu

Mogadishu
Somalia
How many people did American forces actually kill when they attacked refugees fleeing from the U.S.-backed Ethiopian invasion of Somalia last January?
We know from reports by Oxfam, the Guardian, the Associated Press and Reuters that dozens of innocent civilians were slaughtered near the Kenyan border, including villagers and nomadic tribesmen "mistakenly" targeted by American gunships seeking to kill alleged al Qaeda operatives who may or may not have been among the refugees.
But a new story in Esquire magazine — detailing the creation of America's most recent military satrapy, the Africa Command — provides disturbing information that the post-invasion killing by American operatives in Somalia was far more extensive — and deliberate — than previously known.
[Extensive background on the war in Somalia can be found here.]
The Esquire piece, by Thomas Barnett, is a mostly glowing portrait of the Africa Command, which, we are told, is designed to wed military, diplomatic, and development prowess in a seamless package, a whole new way of projecting American power: "pre-emptive nation-building instead of pre-emptive regime change," or as Barnett describes it at another point, "Iraq done right."
Although Barnett's glib, jargony, insider piece — told entirely from the point of view of U.S. military officials — does contain bits of critical analysis, it is in no way an expose.
The new details he presents on the post-invasion slaughter are thus even more chilling, as they are offered simply as an acceptable, ordinary aspect of this laudable new enterprise.
Barnett reveals that the gunship attacks on refugees were just the first part of the secret U.S. mission that was "Africa Command's" debut on the imperial stage.
Kill anyone still alive — leave no unidentified bodies behind
Soon after the attacks, "Task Force 88, a very secret American special-operations unit," was helicoptered into the strike area.
As Barnett puts it: "The 88's job was simple: Kill anyone still alive and leave no unidentified bodies behind."

'Kill Anyone Still Alive': American Special Ops in Somalia
Written by Chris Floyd
Wednesday, 13 June 2007
THESE ARE THE PEOPLE THE US TERROR STATE KILLS WITH MISSILES
Some 70,000 people fled their homes in the first wave of the Ethiopian invasion.
(More than 400,000 fled the brutal consolidation of the invasion in Mogadishu last spring.)
Tens of thousands of these initial refugees headed toward the Kenyan border, where the American gunships struck.
When the secret operation was leaked, Bush Administration officials said that American planes were trying to hit three alleged al Qaeda operative who had allegedly been given sanctuary by the Islamic Councils government decapitated by the Ethiopians.
But Barnett's insiders told him that the actual plan was to wipe out thousands of "foreign fighters" whom Pentagon officials believed had joined the Islamic Courts forces.
"Honestly, nobody had any idea just how many there really were," Barnett was told.
"But we wanted to get them all."
Thus the Kenyan border area — where tens of thousands of civilians were fleeing — was meant to be "a killing zone,"
Barnett writes:
America's first AC-130 gunship went wheels-up on January 7 from that secret Ethiopian airstrip.
After each strike, anybody left alive was to be wiped out by successive waves of Ethiopian commandos and Task Force 88, operating out of Manda Bay.
The plan was to rinse and repeat 'until no more bad guys, as one officer put it.
At this point, Barnett — or his sources — turn coy.
THESE ARE THE PEOPLE THE US TERROR STATE KILLS WITH MISSILES
We know there were multiple gunship strikes; and from Barnett's account, we know that the "88s" did go in at least once after the initial gunship attack to "kill anyone still alive and leave no unidentified bodies behind."
But Barnett's story seems to suggest that once active American participation in the war was leaked, the "killing zone" was abandoned at some point.
So there is no way of knowing at this point how many survivors of the American attacks were then killed by the "very special secret special-operations unit," or how many "rinse-and-repeat" cycles the "88s" were able to carry out in what Barnett called "a good plan."
Nor do we know just who the "88s" killed.
As noted, the vast majority of refugees were civilians, just as the majority of the victims killed by the American gunship raids were civilians.
Did the "88s" move in on the nomadic tribesmen decimated by the air attack and "kill everyone still alive"?
Or did they restrict themselves to killing any non-Somalis they found among the refugees?
Concerning the latter, evidently it is now a capital crime, worthy of instant death by special ops or air raid or drone-fired missile, for any Muslim of any nationality to visit or take part in an Islamic regime which the U.S. government dislikes - even if, like Somalia's Islamic Councils government, that regime is not at war with the United States and strenuously denies any connection to al Qaeda.
This is borne out by the "good plan" to kill "thousands of foreign fighters" who had, allegedly, come to the aid of the Islamic Courts government (just like the thousands of foreign fighters who joined the American-backed jihad against the Soviets in Afghanistan).
There was an automatic, unquestioned assumption by the Pentagon that these people were to be wiped out to the last man.
This does not seem to jibe very well with "Africa Command's" professed intent to win the hearts and minds of Africa's Muslims and prevent encroachment by extremists there.
THESE ARE THE PEOPLE THE US TERROR STATE KILLS WITH MISSILES
But then, none of Bush's "Terror War" policies seem designed to produce their ostensible goal.
Indeed, a cynic might be forgiven for suspecting that the formenting of extremism, violence and endless, ever-profitable war was in fact the actual aim of these policies.

11th
International

Forum
St. Petersburg
Russia
On Tuesday, Russian President Vladimir Putin gave an hour and a half-long press conference which was attended by many members of the world media.
The contents of that meeting — in which Putin answered all questions concerning nuclear proliferation, human rights, Kosovo, democracy and the present confrontation with the United States over missile defense in Europe — have been completely censored by the press.
Apart from one brief excerpt which appeared in a Washington Post editorial, (and which was used to criticize Putin) the press conference has been scrubbed from the public record.
It never happened.
(Read the entire press conference archived
here )
Putin’s performance was a tour de force.
He fielded all of the questions however misleading or insulting.
He was candid and statesmanlike and demonstrated a good understanding of all the main issues.

US plan for regime change in Moscow
The meeting gave Putin a chance to give his side of the story in the growing debate over missile defense in Eastern Europe.
He offered a brief account of the deteriorating state of US-Russian relations since the end of the Cold War, and particularly from 9-11 to present.
Since September 11, the Bush administration has carried out an aggressive strategy to surround Russia with military bases, install missiles on its borders, topple allied regimes in Central Asia, and incite political upheaval in Moscow through US-backed "pro-democracy" groups.
These openly hostile actions have convinced many Russian hard-liners that the administration is going forward with the neocon plan for "regime change" in Moscow and fragmentation of the Russian Federation.
Putin’s testimony suggests that the hardliners are probably right.
The Bush administration’s belligerent foreign policy has backed the Kremlin into a corner and forced Putin to take retaliatory measures.
He has no other choice.
If we want to understand why relations between Russia are quickly reaching the boiling-point; we only need to review the main developments since the end of the Cold War.
Political analyst Pat Buchanan gives a good rundown of these in his article
"Doesn’t Putin Have a Point?"

Putin’s Censored Press Conference: The transcript you weren’t supposed to see
Mike Whitney, ICH
June 10, 2007
US army base
Al-Meshahda, Iraq
Buchanan says:
"Though the Red Army had picked up and gone home from Eastern Europe voluntarily, and Moscow felt it had an understanding we would not move NATO eastward, we exploited our moment.
Not only did we bring Poland into NATO, we brought in Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia, and virtually the whole Warsaw Pact, planting NATO right on Mother Russia's front porch.
Now, there is a scheme afoot to bring in Ukraine and Georgia in the Caucasus, the birthplace of Stalin.
Second, America backed a pipeline to deliver Caspian Sea oil from Azerbaijan through Georgia to Turkey, to bypass Russia.
Third, though Putin gave us a green light to use bases in the old Soviet republics for the liberation of Afghanistan, we now seem hell-bent on making those bases in Central Asia permanent.
Fourth, though Bush sold missile defense as directed at rogue states like North Korea, we now learn we are going to put anti-missile systems into Eastern Europe.
And against whom are they directed?
Fifth, through the National Endowment for Democracy, its GOP and Democratic auxiliaries, and tax-exempt think tanks, foundations, and "human rights" institutes such as Freedom House, headed by ex-CIA director James Woolsey, we have been fomenting regime change in Eastern Europe, the former Soviet republics, and Russia herself.
U.S.-backed revolutions have succeeded in Serbia, Ukraine, and Georgia, but failed in Belarus.
Moscow has now legislated restrictions on the foreign agencies that it sees, not without justification, as subversive of pro-Moscow regimes.
Sixth, America conducted 78 days of bombing of Serbia for the crime of fighting to hold on to her rebellious province, Kosovo, and for refusing to grant NATO marching rights through her territory to take over that province.
Mother Russia has always had a maternal interest in the Orthodox states of the Balkans.
These are Putin's grievances.
Does he not have a small point?"

Same is true of other world leaders who choose to use their vast resources to improve the lives of their own citizens
Yes — as Buchanan opines — Putin does have a point, which is why his press conference was suppressed.
The media would rather demonize Putin, than allow him to make his case to the public.
(The same is true of other world leaders who choose to use their vast resources to improve the lives of their own citizens rather that hand them over to the transnational oil giants; such as, Mahmud Ahmadinejad and Hugo Chavez)
Even so, NATO has not yet endorsed the neocon missile defense plan and, according to recent surveys, public opinion in Poland and the Czech Republic is overwhelmingly against it.
Unsurprisingly, the Bush administration is going ahead regardless of the controversy.
No one should doubt Putin is determined to protect his country
Putin cannot allow the United States to deploy its missile defense system to Eastern Europe.
The system poses a direct threat to Russia’s national security.
If Putin planned to deploy a similar system in Cuba or Mexico, the Bush administration would immediately invoke the Monroe Doctrine and threaten to remove it by force.
No one doubts this.
And no one should doubt that Putin is equally determined to protect his own country’s interests in the same way.
We can expect that Russia will now aim its missiles at European targets and rework its foreign policy in a way that compels the US to abandon its current plans.

Nuclear first-strike against Russia
The media has tried to minimize the dangers of the proposed system.
The Washington Post even characterized it as "a small missile defense system" which has set off "waves of paranoia about domestic and foreign opponents".
Nonsense.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
As Putin said at the press conference:
"Once the missile defense system is put in place IT WILL WORK AUTOMATICALLY WITH THE ENTIRE NUCLEAR CAPABILITY OF THE UNITED STATES.
I"t will be an integral part of the US nuclear capability.
"For the first time in history — and I want to emphasize this — there are elements of the US nuclear capability on the European continent.
It simply changes the whole configuration of international security... Of course, we have to respond to that."
Putin is right.
The "so-called" defense system is actually an expansion (and integration) of America’s existing nuclear weapons system which will now function as one unit.
The dangers of this should be obvious.
The Bush administration is maneuvering in a way that will allow it to achieve what Nuclear weapons specialist, Francis A. Boyle, calls the "longstanding US policy of nuclear first-strike against Russia".
In Boyle’s article "US Missiles in Europe: Beyond Deterrence to First Strike Threat" he states:
Terrorism
all paid for
by US
taxpayers
and their
children,
for it is
to them
the debt befalls
99%+ of Russian nuclear forces taken out
"By means of a US first strike about 99%+ of Russian nuclear forces would be taken out.
Namely, the United States Government believes that with the deployment of a facially successful first strike capability, they can move beyond deterrence and into "compellence...."
This has been analyzed ad nauseam in the professional literature.
But especially by one of Harvard's premier warmongers in chief, Thomas Schelling - winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics granted by the Bank of Sweden — who developed the term "compellence" and distinguished it from "deterrence."
...The USG is breaking out of a "deterrence" posture and moving into a "compellence" posture. (Global Research 6-6-07)
That’s right.
The real goal is to force Moscow to conform to Washington’s "diktats" or face the prospect of "first-strike" annihilation.
That’s why Putin has expressed growing concern over the administration’s dropping out of the ABM Treaty and the development of a new regime of low yield, bunker-busting nuclear weapons.
The "hawks" who surround Bush have abandoned the "deterrence" policy of the past, and now believe that a nuclear war can be "won" by the United States.
This is madness and it needs to be taken seriously.
The Bush administration sees itself as a main player in Central Asia and the Middle East - controlling vital resources and pipeline corridors throughout the region.
That means Russia’s influence will have to be diminished.
Boris Yeltsin was the perfect leader for the neoconservative master-plan (which is why the right-wingers Praised him when he died) Russia disintegrated under Yeltsin.
He oversaw the dismantling of the state, the plundering of its resources and state-owned assets, and the restructuring of its economy according to the tenets of neoliberalism.
No wonder the neocons loved him.
 
West institutions archaic, undemocratic and inflexible
Russian Treasury began to convert Russia’s dollar reserves into gold and rubles
Under Putin, Russia has regained its economic footing, its regional influence and its international prestige.
The economy is booming, the ruble has stabilized, the standard of living has risen, and Moscow has strengthened alliances with its neighbors.
This new-found Russian prosperity poses a real challenge to Bush’s plans.
Two actions in particular have changed the Russian-US relationship from tepid to openly hostile.
The first was when Putin announced that Russia’s four largest oil fields would not be open to foreign development.
(Russia has been consolidating its oil wealth under state-run Gazprom)
And, second, when the Russian Treasury began to convert Russia’s dollar reserves into gold and rubles.
Both of these are regarded as high-crimes by US corporate chieftains and western elites.
Their response was swift.
John Edwards and Jack Kemp were appointed to lead a Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) task force which concocted the basic pretext for an all-out assault on the Putin.
This is where the idea that Putin is "rolling back democracy" began; it’s a feeble excuse for political antagonism.
In their article "Russia’s Wrong Direction", Edwards and Kemp state that a "strategic partnership" with Russia is no longer possible.
They note that the government has become increasingly "authoritarian" and that the society is growing less "open and pluralistic".
Blah, blah, blah.
No one in the Washington really cares about democracy.
(Just look at our "good friends" in Saudi Arabia, Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan, and Kazakhstan)
What they’re afraid of is Putin ditching the dollar and controlling his own oil.
That’s what counts.
Bush also wants Putin to support sanctions against Iran and rubber stamp a Security Council resolution to separate Kosovo form Serbia.
(Since when does the UN have the right to redraw national borders?
Was the creation of Israel such a stunning success that the Security Council wants to try its luck again?)
60 years of enslavement all paid for by US taxpayer money
Unipolar world model not accepted
Putin does not accept the "unipolar" world model.
As he said in Munich, the unipolar world refers to:
"A world in which there is one master, one sovereign - one centre of authority, one centre of force, one centre of decision-making.
"At the end of the day this is pernicious not only for all those within this system, but also for the sovereign itself because it destroys itself from within....
"What is even more important is that the model itself is flawed because at its basis there is and can be no moral foundations for modern civilization."
He added:
"Unilateral and frequently illegitimate actions have not resolved any problems.
"Moreover, they have caused new human tragedies and created new centers of tension.
"Judge for yourselves — wars as well as local and regional conflicts have not diminished.
"More are dying than before.
"Significantly more!
"Significantly more!
"Today we are witnessing an almost uncontained hyper use of force — military force — in international relations, force that is plunging the world into an abyss of permanent conflicts.
"We are seeing a greater and greater disdain for the basic principles of international law.
"And independent legal norms are, as a matter of fact, coming increasingly closer to one state’s legal system.
"One state and, of course, first and foremost the United States, has overstepped its national borders in every way.
"This is visible in the economic, political, cultural and educational policies it imposes on other nations.
"Well, who likes this?
"Who is happy about this?
St. Petersburg International Economic Forum
June 10, 2007
I want to emphasise this — no one feels safe!
In international relations we increasingly see the desire to resolve a given question according to so-called issues of political expediency, based on the current political climate.
And of course this is extremely dangerous.
It results in the fact that no one feels safe.
I want to emphasise this — no one feels safe!
Because no one can feel that international law is like a stone wall that will protect them.
Of course such a policy stimulates an arms race.
I am convinced that we have reached that decisive moment when we must seriously think about the architecture of global security."
How can anyone dispute Putin’s analysis?
"Unilateral and illegitimate military actions", the "uncontained hyper-use of force", the "disdain for the basic principles of international law", and most importantly; "No one feels safe!"
These are the irrefutable facts.
Putin has simply summarized the Bush Doctrine better than anyone else.
The Bush administration has increased its frontline American bases to five thousand men on Russia’s perimeter.
Is this conduct of a "trustworthy ally"?
Also, NATO has deployed forces on Russia’s borders even while Putin has continued to fulfill his treaty obligations and move troops and military equipment hundreds of miles away.
Europe is being pumped full of new weapons systems
As Putin said on Tuesday:
"We have removed all of our heavy weapons from the European part of Russia and put them behind the Urals" and "reduced our Armed Forces by 300,000.
We have taken several other steps required by the Adapted Conventional Armed Forces Treaty in Europe (ACAF).
But what have we seen in response?
Eastern Europe is receiving new weapons, two new military bases are being set up in Romania and in Bulgaria, and there are two new missile launch areas - a radar in Czech republic and missile systems in Poland.
And we are asking ourselves the question: what is going on?
Russia is disarming unilaterally.
But if we disarm unilaterally then we would like to see our partners be willing to do the same thing in Europe.
On the contrary, Europe is being pumped full of new weapons systems.
And of course we cannot help but be concerned."

Who Destroyed the ABM?
(This is why Putin’s comments did not appear in the western media!
They would have been too damaging to the Bush administration and their expansionist plans)
[And to the elite who control Europe - Kewe - TheWE.cc]
Who Destroyed the ABM?
Putin said:
"We did not initiate the withdrawal from the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty.
But what response did we give when we discussed this issue with our American partners?
We said that we do not have the resources and desire to establish such a system.
But as professionals we both understand that a missile defense system for one side and no such a system for the other creates an illusion of security and increases the possibility of a nuclear conflict.
The defense system WILL DESTROY THE STRATEGIC EQUILIBRIUM IN THE WORLD.
In order to restore that balance without setting up a missile defense system we will have to create a system to overcome missile defense, which is what we are doing now."
Putin:
"AN ARMS RACE IS UNFOLDING.
Was it we who withdrew from the ABM Treaty?
We must react to what our partners do.
We already told them two years ago, "don’t do this, you don’t need to do this.
What are you doing?
YOU ARE DESTROYING THE SYSTEM OF INTERNATIONAL SECURITY.
You must understand that you are forcing us to take retaliatory steps."
...we warned them.
No, they did not listen to us.
Then we heard about them developing low-yield nuclear weapons and they are continuing to develop these weapons."
We told them that:
"...it would be better to look for other ways to fight terrorism than create low-yield nuclear weapons and lower the threshold for using nuclear weapons, and thereby put humankind on the brink of nuclear catastrophe.
But they don’t listen to us.
They are not looking for compromise.
Their entire point of view can be summed-up in one sentence: 'Whoever is not with us is against us.’"
Putin asks:
"So what should we do?"
The present predicament has brought us "the brink of disaster".

Putin:
"Some people have the illusion that you can do everything just as you want, regardless of the interests of other people.
Of course it is for precisely this reason that the international situation gets worse and eventually results in an arms race as you pointed out.
But we are not the instigators.
We do not want it.
Why would we want to divert resources to this?
And we are not jeopardizing our relations with anyone.
But we must respond.
Name even one step that we have taken or one action of ours designed to worsen the situation.
There are none.
We are not interested in that.
We are interested in having a good atmosphere, environment and energy dialogue around Russia".
So, what should Putin do?
And how else can he meet his responsibilities to the Russian people without taking defensive "retaliatory" action to Bush’s act of war.
By expanding its nuclear capability to Europe, all of Russia is in imminent danger, and so, Putin must decide "precisely which means will be used to destroy the installations that our experts believe represent a potential threat for the Russian Federation".
(Note that Putin NEVER THREATENS TO AIM HIS MISSILES AT EUROPEAN CITIES AS WAS REPORTED IN THE WESTERN MEDIA)
Putin has made great strides in improving life for the Russian people.
That is why his public approval rating is soaring at 75%.
The Russian economy has been growing by 7% a year.
He’s lowered the number of people living beneath the poverty-line by more than half and will bring it down to European levels by 2010.
Real incomes are growing by an astonishing 12% per year.
As Putin says:
"Combating poverty is one of our top priorities and we still have to do a lot to improve our pension system too because the correlation between pensions and the average wage is still lower here than in Europe."
If only that was true in America!
We have a proverb in Russian, 'Don’t blame the mirror if your face is crooked.’
Russia now has the ninth largest economy in the world and has amassed enormous gold and currency reserves — the third largest in the world.
It is also one of the leading players in international energy policy with a daily-oil output which now exceeds Saudi Arabia.
It is also the largest producer of natural gas in the world.
Russia will only get stronger as we get deeper into the century and energy resources become scarcer.
Putin strongly objects to the idea that he is not committed to human rights or is "rolling back democracy".
He points out how truncheon-wielding police in Europe routinely use tear gas, electric-shock devices and water cannons to disperse demonstrators.
Is that how the West honors human rights and civil liberties?
As for the Bush administration — Putin produced a copy of Amnesty International’s yearly report condemning the United States conduct in the war on terror.
"I have a copy of Amnesty International’s report here, which includes a section on the United States," he said.
Amnesty: UNITED STATES IS NOW THE PRINCIPLE VIOLATOR OF HUMAN RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS WORLDWIDE
"The organization has concluded that the United States IS NOW THE PRINCIPLE VIOLATOR OF HUMAN RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS WORLDWIDE."
He added:
"We have a proverb in Russian, 'Don’t blame the mirror if your face is crooked.’"
Putin is fiercely nationalistic.
He has helped to restore Russia’s self-confidence and rebuild the economy.
He’s demonstrated a willingness to compromise with the Bush administration on every substantive issue, but he has been repeatedly rebuffed.
The last thing he wants is a nuclear standoff with the United States.
But he will do what he must to defend his people from the threat of foreign attack.
The deployment of the missile defense system will require that Russia develop its own new weapons systems and change its thinking about trusting the United States.
Friendship is not possible in the present climate.
As for "democracy"; Putin said it best himself:
"Am I a 'pure democrat’? (laughs) Of course I am, absolutely.
The problem is that I’m all alone — the only one of my kind in the whole wide world.
Just look at what’s happening in North America, it’s simply awful — torture, homeless people, Guantanamo, people detained without trial and investigation.
Just look at what’s happening in Europe — harsh treatment of demonstrators, rubber bullets and tear gas used first in one capital then in another, demonstrators killed on the streets...
I have no one to talk to since Mahatma Gandhi died."
Well said, Vladimir.

The Authoritarianism of Right-Wing Radio
by Guy Reel

In his new book “Conservatives Without Conscience,” John Dean describes his journey to discover why some of today’s right-wingers have drifted so far astray from many of the classic notions of conservatism — limited government, limited executive power, reduced foreign entanglements, respect for individual rights, etc.
What he found is rather alarming — he concludes that among many of today’s right-wing are streaks of both authoritarianism and a personality type described as “social dominance orientation.”


The strict father tells us what’s good for us and we’d better obey. The father is the last word. That’s why talk radio works so well for the right-wing worldview. The father preaches to the children, and they follow blindly, with devotion, while sputtering frothy, childish contempt for anyone who disagrees.

Dean’s ideas, along with UC Berkeley professor George Lakoff’s notions of framing of political debate, explain a lot about how those on the right side of the spectrum think — and why right-wing talk radio is successful while “liberal” talk struggles.
Competition
According to Dean, authoritarians see the world as a competition in which the strong and righteous prevail and prosper; failure is tantamount to weakness or unworthiness.
These authoritarians believe the world is dangerous and threatening, and the best way to fight “evil” is through force.
Social dominators, on the other hand, scoff at notions of equality and will move forward with little conscience or restraint.   They don’t believe much in right or wrong — it’s more about what they can get away with.
(If that seems harsh, notes Dean, this is not his view — it’s how these people describe themselves when they undertake personality tests.)
Uncanny ability to merely stop thinking about something
More troubling than these categories are those who adopt the characteristics of the authoritarians AND the social dominators.
These people are unaware of their own hypocrisies — consider the religious right’s defense of detainee abuse, war, tax cuts for the wealthy and aid cuts for the poor — while believing their own motives not only right but necessary to win against a litany of enemies, including “liberals.”
Such people also have an uncanny ability to merely stop thinking about something if it doesn’t fit in with their worldview.   In addition, they are openly hostile and aggressive toward those who disagree with them.
Lakoff has also examined the thought processes of conservatives in his “Whose Freedom?   The Battle Over America’s Most Important Idea.”
Direct cause verses systemic factors
In this work, Lakoff concludes that in many cases those on the right consider only notions of direct causation for problems and solutions, while liberals more often think of the systemic factors in problems and solutions.
For example, a conservative might believe that to fight crime, we should stiffen sentences, imprison more people and build more prisons to house them.
This is a class direct-cause-response mechanism for fighting crime.
Liberals, on the other hand, may see an array of factors that produce crime, including individual responsibility, poverty, lack of education, lack of role models, opportunity, etc.
Better education option far less expensive
Thus, to fight crime, a liberal might argue for better education and job opportunities — options that are far less expensive than building new prisons and housing people for long-term sentences.
Yet, among dominators with authoritarian/direct-cause thought processes, the idea of improving education to fight crime is ludicrous and soft.
And many will despise anyone who would suggest otherwise.
This may explain why conservatives claim to believe that liberals are beholden to a “belief system” that doesn’t fit with reality.
It’s much easier — and for many, makes more sense — to simply think of the “war on terror,” or “good vs. evil” than to consider gradations of history, economics and politics as responsible for a complicated world in which a variety of responses are necessary to fight terrorism.
In their vitriol, they may express their contempt in different ways — as a rejection of nuance, or as a repudiation of the “church of liberalism.”
Liberalism ideology, Conservatism common sense
Right-wing Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania described liberalism as an ideology, while maintaining that conservatism is common sense.
For these thinkers, according to some psychologists, it is impossible for them to consider these matters in any other way.
Lakoff says the conservative way of thinking is more of the “strict father” mode while liberal thinking is more like the “nurturant mother.”
The strict father tells us what’s good for us and we’d better obey.
The father is the last word.
That’s why talk radio works so well for the right-wing worldview.
The father preaches to the children, and they follow blindly, with devotion, while sputtering frothy, childish contempt for anyone who disagrees.
Thus, the hosts of the right-wing radio programs, from Limbaugh to Hannity to Savage — to all the local right-wingers in cities across America — are almost all authoritarians, “strict-father” in their worldview, and social dominators.
Laughing at Katrina victims
In other words, they blame victims (consider their laughing at Katrina victims), liberals and media for any problems that arise in the world, and insult anyone who disagrees.
The answers to problems are simple and usually involve strength.
The format of these talk shows gives them a forum to monologue while taking puff calls from supporters, or “dittoheads,” who have exactly the same view.
Consider some of the common direct-cause/authoritarian frames that you can hear on right-wing radio:
The “drive-by” media are liberal and hate Bush.   They must be fought at every turn.
We are fighting World War III and any response other than a warlike one is tantamount to treason.
Liberals don’t want you to know the truth because they want to suppress you.   We must expose liberals everywhere.
Government is the enemy of prosperity.   Taxes stunt growth.   We must cut government and lower taxes, particularly on the rich.
Never mind that the actual facts get in the way of these statements.
That doesn’t matter if you’re a social dominator.
What’s important is winning, not whether what you say is true.
It won’t work
But if you accept these arguments, then the outcome of attempts by liberal talk show hosts to imitate the format and the vitriol of the world’s Limbaughs is easy to predict — it won’t work.
Liberal talk-show hosts (such as, for example, Randi Rhodes) come across as trying to imitate the characteristics of authoritarian/social dominators, and the resulting tone doesn’t fit with the message — that the problems and solutions to our problems are complicated and require a variety of strategies.
For example, one might argue that the best way to fight the war on terror is through special ops, police work, top-rate intelligence AND terrific force.
That’s a bunch of gobbledygook for the right-wingers.
It’s good versus evil, they say.
Kill them all.
Never mind that that strategy only leads to more terror.
It’s cause and effect, and it is impossible for them to think differently about the problem.
The so-called “liberal” radio that does work — most notably NPR — is given to lengthy reports on the issues, often including multiple perspectives.
That is why those who wish for a liberal Rush Limbaugh are misguided.
There can’t be a liberal Limbaugh.
There can only be a response that indicates what most people already know, deep down: We must work together to find multiple solutions to fight problems and defeat enemies.
Any other way is simply suicide.

Danish scientist Niels Harrit on nano-thermite in the WTC dust.

Niels Harrit, you and eight other researchers conclude in this article that it was nano-thermite that caused these buildings to collapse.

We have discovered distinctive red/gray chips in all the samples we have studied of the dust produced by the destruction of the World Trade Center.

One sample was collected by a Manhattan resident about ten minutes after the collapse of the second WTC Tower, two the next day, and a fourth about a week later.

The properties of these chips were analyzed using optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy (XEDS), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).

The red portion of these chips is found to be an unreacted thermitic material and highly energetic.

The carbon content of the red material indicates that an organic substance is present.

This would be expected for super-thermite formulations in order to produce high gas pressures upon ignition and thus make them explosive.

Danish scientist Niels Harrit on nano-thermite in the WTC dust
ITALIAN SAYS 9-11 SOLVED
It’s common knowledge, he reveals
CIA — Mossad behind terror attacks
By the Staff of American Free Press
Former Italian President Francesco Cossiga, who revealed the existence of Operation Gladio, has told Italy’s oldest and most widely read newspaper that the 9-11 terrorist attacks were run by the CIA and Mossad, and that this was common knowledge among global intelligence agencies.
In what translates awkwardly into English, Cossiga told the newspaper Corriere della Sera:
“All the [intelligence services] of America and Europe… know well that the disastrous attack has been planned and realized from the Mossad, with the aid of the Zionist world in order to put under accusation the Arabic countries and in order to induce the western powers to take part … in Iraq [and] Afghanistan.”
Cossiga was elected president of the Italian Senate in July 1983 before winning a landslide election to become president of the country in 1985, and he remained until 1992.
Cossiga’s tendency to be outspoken upset the Italian political establishment, and he was forced to resign after revealing the existence of, and his part in setting up, Operation Gladio.
This was a rogue intelligence network under NATO auspices that carried out bombings across Europe in the 1960s, 1970s and ’80s.
Gladio’s specialty was to carry out what they termed 'false flag' operations — terror attacks that were blamed on their domestic and geopolitical opposition.
In March 2001, Gladio agent Vincenzo Vinciguerra stated, in sworn testimony:
“You had to attack civilians, the people, women, children, innocent people, unknown people far removed from any political game.
The reason was quite simple: to force … the public to turn to the state to ask for greater security.”
Cossiga first expressed his doubts about 9-11 in 2001, and is quoted by 9-11 researcher Webster Tarpley saying:
“The mastermind of the attack must have been a sophisticated mind, provided with ample means not only to recruit fanatic kamikazes, but also highly specialized personnel.
I add one thing: it could not be accomplished without infiltrations in the radar and flight security personnel.”
Coming from a widely respected former head of state, Cossiga’s assertion that the 9-11 attacks were an inside job and that this is common knowledge among global intelligence agencies is illuminating.
It is one more eye-opening confirmation that has not been mentioned by America’s propaganda machine in print or on TV.
Nevertheless, because of his experience and status in the world, Cossiga cannot be discounted as a crackpot.

US to Develop New Hydrogen Bomb
by Ralph Vartabedian
The Energy Department will announce today a contract to develop the nation's first new hydrogen bomb in two decades, involving a collaboration between three national weapons laboratories, The Times has learned.
The new bomb will include design features from all three labs, though Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in the Bay Area appears to have taken the lead position in the project. The Los Alamos and Sandia labs in New Mexico will also be part of the project.

UK jets 'chase Russian bombers'

Norway says Russia has increased military flights in the Arctic
The UK's Royal Air Force has launched fighter jets to intercept eight Russian military planes flying in airspace patrolled by Nato, UK officials say.
Four RAF F3 Tornado aircraft were scrambled in response to the Russian action, the UK's defence ministry said.
The Russian planes - said to be long-range bombers - had earlier been followed by Norwegian F16 jets.
Russia recently revived a Cold War-era practice of flying bombers on long-range patrols.
A Norwegian officer, Lt Col John Inge Oegland, told the BBC the Russian Tupolev Tu-95 Bear bombers flew in international airspace from the Barents Sea to the Atlantic, before turning back.
Two Norwegian F-16s shadowed them on Thursday morning and another two went up later, he said.
There have been several similar incidents in recent months, Lt-Col Oegland added.
"Norway is following the increased Russian activity in the far north with interest," he told the BBC News website.
He said the Russian flights were not causing alarm in Norway.   "Our systems are adequate," he said, when asked whether Norway was bolstering its security in the area.

9/11
By all accounts, the unprecedented events of September 11th, 2001 changed the way our country functions, and in turn, the world.
It is therefore critical that conscientious Americans, as well as people around the globe, understand these events in detail.
Unfortunately the official reports, including The 9/11 Commission Report and the NIST WTC Report, written by those working under the direction of the Bush Administration, have been proven to be elaborate cover-ups.
Film: 9/11 Revisited
September 11th Revisited is perhaps the most riveting film ever made about the destruction of the World Trade Center.
This is a powerful documentary which features eyewitness accounts and archived news footage that was shot on September 11, 2001 but never replayed on television.
Featuring interviews with eyewitnesses & firefighters, along with expert analysis by Professor Steven E. Jones, Professor David Ray Griffin, MIT Engineer Jeffrey King, and Professor James H. Fetzer.
This film provides stunning evidence that explosives were used in the complete demolition of the WTC Twin Towers and WTC Building 7.

Justice O'Connor's decision in Bush v. Gore led to the current Bush administration's execution of war crimes and atrocities in Iraq, Afghanistan, and other places in the Middle East that are as egregious as those committed by the Third Reich and other evil governments in human history.
US destroyed Fallujah as it tries to destroy the rest of Iraq
The lesson is clear.
Those people who may be honorable and distinguished in their chosen profession should always make decisions based upon good rather than evil no matter where their nominal allegiances may rest.
Justice O'Connor was quoted to have said something to the affect that she abhorred the thought of Bush losing the 2000 election to Gore.
She was known to have wanted to retire after the 2000 election for same reason she is now retiring.
She wanted to spend more time with her sick husband.
Unfortunately, she tarnished her distinguished career with the deciding vote in Bush v. Gore by going along with the partisan majority of the Court to interfere with a democratic election that she and the majority feared would be lost in an honest recount.
She dishonored herself and the Supreme Court by succumbing to party allegiances and not The Constitution to which she swore to uphold.
And the constitutional argument she and the majority used to justify their decision was the Equal Protection Clause.
The Equal Protection Clause was the ultimate basis for the decision, but the majority essentially admitted (what was obvious in any event) that it was not basing its conclusion on any general view of what equal protection requires.
The decision in Bush v Gore was not dictated by the law in any sense—either the law found through research, or the law as reflected in the kind of intuitive sense that comes from immersion in the legal culture.
The Equal Protection clause is generally used in matters concerning civil rights.
The majority ignored their basic conservative views supporting federalism and states' rights in order to justify their decision.
History will haunt these justices down for their utter lack of justice and the hypocrisy associated with this decision.

There are those who contend that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is all about Israel's occupation of the West Bank and Gaza.   This is absolute nonsense.
In truth, the history of the conflict is not over occupation, and never has been:  it is over the fundamental right of Israel to exist.
The greatest threat to Israel's right to exist, with the prospect of devastating violence, now comes from Iran.
For too long, leaders of both political parties in the United States have not done nearly enough to confront the Russians and the Chinese, who have supplied Iran as it has plowed ahead with its nuclear and missile technology....
In the words of Isaiah, we will make ourselves to Israel 'as hiding places from the winds and shelters from the tempests; as rivers of water in dry places; as shadows of a great rock in a weary land.'
