Naomi Klein Reexamines “The Shock Doctrine” As the country and the world reel from crises ranging from skyrocketing oil prices and global food shortages to housing and climate change, how best to understand the government policies being pushed through? We spend the hour with Naomi Klein, author of The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism. Klein also discusses Barack Obama’s economic advisory team, whom she calls “Obama’s Chicago Boys”; why she’s suing the US government for spying on journalists like her; as well as her recent trip to China, where she says the government is building a high-tech police state with the help of US military contractors.

Conspiracy Theories And The Truth Scale [157]



Anyone who speaks about the similarities between the War on Terror and the War on Witches can expect to encounter the charge of being a conspiracy theorist. Because of the way the label of "a conspiracy theory" has been positioned by the mainstream media - in the same category as outright lies and alien abduction stories - it is not helpful to one's credibility to be called a conspiracy theorist. It's equivalent to being tagged as a liar or a kook. However, the concept of a Truth Spectrum can help to understand the use of value labels, and how to counter media stereotyping of information.

Full information is the key to knowing whether any argument or theory is true or false. You would know whether a companion animal is named Spot, or not, if you named it. You would have complete information about the question of what the animal's name is, and how it came to be so called. But what about someone else who does not know you or your dog? Since they lack any relevant information they cannot be sure whether the name is Spot, of something else. If they are given a clue, say by the initial S on the animal's collar, a stranger can begin to move from a position of complete uncertainty, halfway between absolute truth and absolute falsity, to a position on a scale that is closer to the name Spot being true than to it being false. The diagram above shows such a Truth Scale, that can be used to reflect degrees of certainty or uncertainty about a statement, assertion, theory, or notion.

In the diagram, zero is absolute falsity and 8 is absolute truth. Only those in full possession of all the relevant facts and information can know whether an assertion, such as "The dog's name is Spot", fits at 0 or at 8. Everyone else has either to: (a) accept the truth of the statement, without any real basis for doing so, or (b) fit the statement into the scale that bridges the range of probabilities between 0 and 8. If there is no other information, the fit should be Step 4. There is an equal probability of the statement being true or false. The notion is "half authentic".

Gen. Taguba: Bush Administration Committed War Crimes

The Army general who first investigated the abuse at Abu Ghraib has accused the Bush administration of committing war crimes. Retired Major General Antonio Taguba made the comment in a new report about US torture practices. Taguba wrote, “The commander in chief and those under him authorized a systematic regime of torture.” Taguba went on to say, “The only question that remains to be answered is whether those who ordered the use of torture will be held to account.”

Congressional Hearings Shed New Light on Government's Endorsement of Torture; Maj. Gen. Taguba Accuses Bush Administration of War Crimes On Tuesday, the Senate Armed Services Committee held an eight-hour hearing that exposed the role of top Bush administration officials in authorizing the use of harsh interrogation techniques. Meanwhile, Retired Major General Antonio Taguba, the Army general who first investigated the abuse at Abu Ghraib, has accused the Bush administration of committing war crimes. “The commander in chief and those under him authorized a systematic regime of torture,” Taguba said.

As Senate Confirms Psychologists Helped Devise Military Interrogation Techniques, APA Presidential Candidate Steven Reisner Condemns Role of Psychologists in Torture The Senate investigation confirmed the Pentagon sought the help of military psychologists as early as 2002 to devise so-called aggressive interrogation techniques.

He is running for president of the APA and has received more nominating votes than any other candidate.

Apologize to the World Mr. Wallace and Return that Emmy President Ahmadinejad Calls for Democracy, Free and Fair Elections and a Durable Peace.Mike Wallace Interviewed Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on 60 Minutes. At the request of the Iranian President Ahmadinejad, the FULL UNEDITED version was shown on C-SPAN. "The cable public affairs net will air the 60 Minutes edited version, followed by the full 90-minute interview, to give viewers a window on what is left on the cutting room floor." - John Eggerton -- Broadcasting & Cable, 8/11/2006 We can see what they cut out, a call for democracy. This is another example of Mainstream Media's continuing suppression of basic facts concerning Israel and the Palestinians and other dramatic details related to the Middle East. It is a scandal for news editors to suppress the fact that democracy is being denied to people and that U.S. policy makers are behind the injustices. It is a scandal that the mainstream media suppresses the fact that the President of Iran is calling for democracy.

ISRAEL is NOT WORTH A SINGLE AMERICAN LIFE OR DOLLAR Micheal Scheuer tells it to bill maher and sorry bill, israel is no democracy it is an apartheid state go visit the west bank and show me where the freedom and democracy is before you tell your audience that israel is a beacon of light in the mideast 40 years of military occupation caused by a pre-emptive war does not equal democracy evidence of israel provoking for the six day war.

Israeli forces Shoot Blindfolded Boy This video show an IDF soldier shooting a rubber bullet at a blindfolded and handcuffed Palestinian in the West Bank. The boy has his hands tied and is blindfolded and totally unaware of what is about to happen. The zionist soldier takes aim with what is believed to be a rubber coated metal bullet and fires it into the body of the prisoner at virtually point blank range. Meanwhile Gordon 'the moron' Brown visited Israel to pay homage to his slave masters and show them his unwavering support. According to the videotape which has been verifyed as authentic by Judge Advocate General Brig.-Gen. Avichai Mandelblit, a Palestinian demonstrator - Ashraf Abu Rahma - is seen handcuffed and blindfolded and being led to a jeep by a high-ranking IDF officer. The shooting took place in the presence of a lieutenant colonel, who is seen holding Abu Rahma's arm when the shot is fired. A fourteen-year-old Palestinian girl from Nil¹in filmed the incident from her house in the village with a camcorder supplied by B'Tselem the human rights peace campaign.

Israel shoots dead nine-year-old boy - 30 Jul 08 In the occupied West Bank, Israeli soldiers have shot dead a nine-year-old Palestinian boy, near the village of Ni'lin, according to witnesses. It happened at the end of a demonstration against the separation barrier Israel is building. The Israeli military say they will conduct a full investigation. Jacky Rowland reports.

Israeli Army of Cyber-Soldiers Target Our Right to Know This is the link to the details about what they are doing: The Israeli government's Foreign Ministry is involved in efforts to influence public opinion on the Internet. Israel's Foreign Ministry orders Internet propagandists, so called "trainee diplomats," to skew online polls and public forums to conform with the Israeli line. Those who want to suppress the facts have dishonestly contacted YouTube and claimed that the video "If Americans Knew What Israel Is Doing!" was a Terms of Use Violation. The video is clearly NOT a Terms of Use violation.

If Americans Knew What Israel Is Doing! VIDEO WAS CENSORED! Must SEE Videos about Israel and 9/11.

McCain's YouTube Problem Just Became a Nightmare There's no question John McCain is getting a free ride from the mainstream press. But with the power of YouTube and the blogosphere, we can provide an accurate portrayal of the so-called Maverick. We can put the brakes on his free ride! Since we first released The Real McCain a year ago, our REAL McCain series has garnered close to 2 million views, with over 13,000 comments and tens of thousands more in petition signatures! Clearly, John McCain's record is something the public wants to discuss, and yet the corporate media is doing NOTHING to present the truth. We feel obliged to continue countering the mainstream media's love of McCain. And so we thought it was high time for a sequel: The Real McCain 2.

Ron Paul *Iranians Tested Missiles AFTER Israel had WAR GAMES!

Iran 2008 | Decide for yourself

IRAN WANTS TO "WIPE ISRAEL OFF THE MAP"?

Iranian president's words were: "this REGIME occupying al-Quds [Jerusalem] must VANISH from the pages of time". This clearly talks against a REGIME that occupies, and not a nation of people that Iranians actually have respect for, the Jews. Iranians were also against the apartheid REGIME of South Africa back in the 80s, but somehow the media never twisted any of such declarations into genocide references. If the phrase was heavily manipulated, there is a good reason to it.

IRAN IS NOT ISLAMIC?

You think in a very convenient way when claiming the exclusive pure Persian culture was that of Ferdowsi (1,000 years ago), as his was for earlier Persians quite a polluted version of their own systems, for it was already the result of helenizing and mongolizing processes. Else, you really believe 1,000 years earlier, Cyrus and Dariush would have agreed with that as if nothing wouldave happened in between? Yet you call it Persian culture and for sure it was, but so is Mowlavi's Masnavi with no "buts", as well as the modern Islamic version of Iran, and I firmly believe there is not a single contradiction between them other than words and images.

IRAN IS OPPRESSIVE?

We in the West claim to live in "democracy" (whatever that word and its practice means), in "freedom", and "prosperity". If all of that is true, how do we explain the fact that this supposedly evolutioned and diplomatic world stands still while the most unfair things happen in the Middle East not on their own fault but on our Western influence on it?

Besides from our prehistoric system which needs to murder by the millions to stay alive, not a single government in the world stays out from the control of its people, not a single one of them. Government comes from the Greek "Kybernetes", who was the one guiding the ship, guiding the tripulation to a safe and better harbour, one in which the passengers would see the quality of their human nature amplified. No media in the world is free, there are naturally always governments, and less naturally there are always monopolistic corporations entangled with political conveniences, there are always masses being idiotized with reality shows, with celebrities, movies, ILLUSIONS far from what this existence really consists on and far from the simple beautiful details of life.

Just because I can publish an article that says in principle God is an asshole and his followers are beasts (and all the degrees and similar examples of doing something like that), it doesnt mean I live in a free society, but in one that forces me to operate in favor of the division of the peoples, in one that promotes individualism so that the "free" market can sell me unnecessary products far more easily when Im alone and I have lost the ability to measure the real values of life's real products, and that enslaves me with debt and material possessions.

How is all of that more valid than a government which also controls the media, which also forces people to do certain things (actually in a far more honest way as they manifest what the rules are and dont hide them in the guise of a "free" market), but which actually gives their people independence and spiritual guidance, a safer harbour, the most authentic from them all, for they shelter their culture from another one which drives towards dissolution, towards materialism and individuality, which gives people all the credit cards they want to buy as much as they can think of, but still deprives them of the real satisfaction people looked for when thinking about buying anything in the first place.

IRAN HAS TO BE LIBERATED?

What freedom and democracy is the US -and the Western world for that matter- entitled to spread when it wasnt Bush but another "democratically" elected government which overthrew democratically elected presidents even in my meaningless Chile? And how different to such democratic evangelization ways are the rest of the countries of the world which approve all such mechanics through silence and a smile at UN meetings, smiles to which they are chained by the economical comfort of their own people and their debts?

Chileans owe a 65% of what they claim to "own", and Americans owe over a 50% of what they also "own", and lets not even get into depth with the burlesque debt of the United States of America which easily surpasses now the 10 trillion dollars (=not payable). An economic crisis threatens to rise the taxes of the buy now and pay later credit system (prohibited by Iran's "evil" leaders), threatening to take all the people "own" away, and Europeans cant handle their own supposedly independent systems with a US that falls down, so we all have to be OK with this country invading whatever nation comes in the list, as long as this other side of the Berlin wall keeps pathetically standing.


Obama to AIPAC: Jerusalem “Must Remain Undivided”

On his first day as the Democrats’ presumptive nominee, Senator Barack Obama traveled to Washington to address AIPAC, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee. Sen. Barack Obama: “Let me be clear. Israel’s security is sacrosanct. It is non-negotiable.The Palestinians need a state that is contiguous and cohesive and that allows them to prosper, but any agreement with the Palestinian people must preserve Israel’s identity as a Jewish state, with secure, recognized, defensible borders. And Jerusalem will remain the capital of Israel, and it must remain undivided.”

Palestinians Appalled by Obama’s Comments: Al Jazeera reports Obama’s comments appalled many Palestinians who see occupied East Jerusalem as part of a future Palestinian state. Chief Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat said, “This is the worst thing to happen to us since 1967…He has given ammunition to extremists across the region.” Here in this country, independent presidential candidate Ralph Nader criticized Obama for not mentioning the humanitarian disaster in Gaza caused by the Israeli blockade. Hamas spokesperson Sami Abu Zuhri also criticized Obama’s speech.


Barack Obama with his wife Michelle after claiming victory.

Barack Obama makes American history Barack Obama has made history by seizing the Democratic nomination and becomes the first African-American to run for president of the United States. In jubilant scenes at the Xcel Centre in Minneapolis-St Paul in the heart of America's Midwest, Senator Obama announced that he had won sufficient delegates and superdelegates to claim the nomination. "Tonight we mark the end of one historic journey with the beginning of another - a journey that will bring a new and better day to America. Tonight, I can stand before you and say that I will be the Democratic nominee for president of the United States," he said. In a poignant moment he also thanked his grandmother, who was watching from Hawaii because she is too frail to travel. "She poured everything into me and made me the man I am today," he said. But then he turned his attention to the Republicans and John McCain, who will hold their convention in the same venue that Senator Obama chose for his victory speech. "My differences with him are not personal; they are with the policies he has proposed in this campaign," he said. The Democrats are hopeful of winning the White House in November after eight years of a Republican President whose popularity has plumbed new depths in the face of a sagging economy and rising petrol prices.

"America, This Is Our Moment": Sen. Barack Obama Clinches Democratic Nomination Barack Obama made history last night by sealing the Democratic presidential nomination to become the first African American nominee of a major party in the United States. Obama clinched the win after a wave of more than seventy uncommitted superdelegates announced their support on Tuesday, pushing his total over the threshold of the 2,118 delegates needed to secure the Democratic nomination at the party’s convention in August. We speak to Ron Walters.

Well the big wide world is out there and Global Warming is still a hot and wet topic.GW Bush seems to be pushing buttons again.

Bush (Custer) Last Stand In Iraq - War Drums in Washington The majority of American citizens have the delusion that they actually decide who governs them, when in practice the Democrats and Republicans are only two wings of the same ruling class that owns Congress, just as it owns the land, the banks and big corporations, the newspapers, and radio and television companies.

Chalmers Johnson: Nemesis: The Last Days of the American Republic One of the things I have experienced in these three books is a much more receptive audience of alarmed Americans to Nemesis than to the previous two books, where there was considerable skepticism, so that one -- if we do see a renaissance of citizenship in America, then I believe we could recapture our government. If we continue politics as in the past, then I think there is no alternative but to say Nemesis is in the country, she's on the premises, and she is waiting to carry out her divine mission.

Domestic Democracy or Foreign Imperialism A talk by Chalmers Johnson about the run up to Imperialism in the US over the past 40 years. Including discussion of his recent three novels: Blowback, the Sorrows of Empire and Nemesis. Chalmers addresses the effect of the 737 military bases the US has around the world and why Foreign Imperialism conflicts with a Domestic Democracy. We now have in effect an Imperial Presidency that ignores the Constitutional requirement for separation of powers and checks and balances. Comparisons are made between the US's policies and those of other failed Imperialist nations of the 18th and 19th century, such as England, France, and Holland. Also considered is the possibility of a military coup in the US and whether it would turn out better for the US than it did for Rome. The video has excerpts from President Eisenhower's famous farewell speech of 1961

TRIAL BY MEDIA! or trial by a Jury? Once a person is charged there should be a media black ban on that case until a jury has found the person either guilty or not guilty. If the media have the power to elect our political parties then they also have the power to find people guilty. Especially people who are being tried over and over again. Now with no double jeopardy rules and majority verdicts in NSW then high profile cases have become susceptible to being tried by the media and not by the jury in my humble opinion.

In addition to this story and typical of the right wing corporate media propagandists with one saviour Nicholas Cowdery

Lift the veil and show us what the jurors see The NSW Director of Public Prosecutions, Nicholas Cowdery, sees some problems in all this. He points to the tension between the public's right to know and the community's "confidence in the administration of justice". If the media edits or selects bits of the evidence the reporting would be very bias and unfair, unless you trust corporate media that is. Anyway I think this is right wing propaganda make up your own mind I guess...

Draconian power to discharge juror and bend trial JUDGES will be given [draconian] powers to discharge individual jurors without having to abort a trial under reforms passed through state cabinet yesterday.These laws are draconian and allow the Judge to push the jury around and sway the trial one way or another. Shame on John Hatzistergos, this creep wants to move trials the government's way when it suits the political agenda. This is not a trial by a jury of your peers. This is bullying. A Google search for this article reveals the real truth i.e. "Did you mean: Power to discharge jury and save trial."

Afghan Independent Media Consultant Sought Impeding the development of open media, for instance, are a list of restrictions that the Afghan National Security Directorate imposed upon journalists last year. Human Rights Watch decried the restrictive list as a "blatant intrusion on the freedom of Afghanistan’s fledgling media. These directives are an insult to the hard work and personal sacrifice of Afghan journalists who try to get the truth out to the public."

EU: The myth of Islamic terrorism If we look at the people arrested on suspicion of terrorism offences, the figures are rather disproportionate; about half of them arrested were Muslim. In plain English: Muslims are a group causing very little terrorism in Europe, while at the same time much more likely to be arrested on suspicion of it. The constant media coverage of Muslims being arrested creates the false image of a serious threat in order to benefit the imperialist world-view Washington wants us to adopt. Our Mortal Enemies (PNAC) Project for the New American Century, (WTO) World Trade Organisation, (AMIC) American Military Industrial Complex, (IMF) International Monetary Fund, (AIPAC) The American Israel Public Affairs Committee, NATO, World Bank and the CIA economic hit-men and jackles - who are all part of the problem!!! :-(

Media outlets fight 'erosion of free speech?' Australia's major media organisations have joined forces to fight what they say is an erosion of free speech. The group is led by News Limited and includes Fairfax, commercial radio and television, as well as the ABC and SBS.

The War on Free Expression - by Stephen Lendman
The struggle to save our First Amendment rights.
In a post-9/11 climate, the right of free expression is under attack and endangered in the age of George Bush when dissent may be called a threat to national security, terrorism, or treason. But losing that most precious of all rights means losing our freedom that 18th century French philosopher Voltaire spoke in defense of saying "I may disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." Using it to express dissent is what noted historian Howard Zinn calls "the highest form of patriotism" exercising our constitutional right to freedom of speech, the press, to assemble, to protest publicly, and associate as we choose for any reason within the law.

Evil Empire: Is Imperial Liquidation Possible for America? One major problem of the American social and political system is the failure of the press, especially television news, to inform the public about the true breadth of the unconstitutional activities of the executive branch. As Frederick A. O. Schwarz and Aziz Z. Huq, the authors of Unchecked and Unbalanced: Presidential Power in a Time of Terror, observe, "For the public to play its proper checking role at the ballot box, citizens must know what is done by the government in their names."

The Asian tsunami and Hurricane Katrina. Award-winning investigative journalist Naomi Klein brings together all of these world-changing events in her new book, “The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism.” In her first national broadcast interview since the publication of “The Shock Doctrine,” Klein joins us in our firehouse studio for the hour. Klein writes, “The history of the contemporary free market was written in shocks.” She argues that “Some of the most infamous human rights violations of the past thirty-five years, which have tended to be viewed as sadistic acts carried out by anti-democratic regimes, were in fact either committed with the deliberate intent of terrorizing the public or actively harnessed to prepare the ground for the introduction of radical free-market reforms.” The Shock Doctrine : Naomi Klein Don't miss it. And don't forget to add the Bali bombing to that list of Shock Doctrine's that allowed the war criminal John Howard to wage war on our side of the fence.

Jamie Leigh Jones - KBR Gang Rape ABC 20/20 Report "Jamie Leigh Jones, now 22, says that after she was raped by multiple men at a KBR camp in the Green Zone, the company put her under guard in a shipping container with a bed and warned her that if she left Iraq for medical treatment, she'd be out of a job. "Don't plan on working back in Iraq. There won't be a position here, and there won't be a position in Houston," Jones says she was told. In a lawsuit filed in federal court against Halliburton and its then-subsidiary KBR, Jones says she was held in the shipping container for at least 24 hours without food or water by KBR, which posted armed security guards outside her door, who would not let her leave.

KILL EVERYBODY: American soldier exposes US policy in Iraq US ARMY SPECIALIST DARRELL ANDERSON EXPOSES US POLICY "I joined in '03," 'cause I was broke, I needed money, but I was a young American kid, I wanted to fight in a war. I joined up. [A] month out of training I arrived in Baghdad, Iraq, January '04. Saddam's been captured. And I get there and the guys I'm serving with have been there for six months already; they were there in '03. And I go, "Well, you know what, I think it's come out that, you know, these people had nothing to do with 9/11, there was no Iraqi on those planes. We can see around here there's no Al Qaida, there's no terrorist syndicates in Baghdad, or Iraq. Saddam had stamped 'em out." And I asked my buddies, "Well, you know, we're here to find 'weapons of mass destruction'." And they laughed at me. And I said, "Well, you know, we're here to 'help the people.'" And they laughed at me. And I said, "What's our mission? What's our goal?"...They're like, "All we're trying to do is make it home alive..." Anderson describes the escalation of violence against unarmed civilians: "In April, they told us, "In a crowded area, if one person shoots at you, kill everybody." Anderson explains the rationale from the officers: "They [members of the crowd of people] are letting them [the person or persons firing at the U.S. military] attack you. They're no longer innocent if they're there at the time of the crime..." (9/11 conference, Chandler AZ Feb 23-25, 2007) 911TV.org / snowshoefilms post-production/ 9:46

JUDAISM AND ZIONISM Part 1 of 5
Rabbi Goldstein gives a historic overview of zionism and the creation of the zionist state, explaining its incompatibility with Judaism. Neturei Karta (Jews against zionism) 23 December 2001. Rabbi Goldstein explained to his Muslim audience that whilst for Mr. Arafat and the Palestinian Authority its a political struggle and they may compromise with the zionist state and settle for 50%, 25% or whatever they can get, he cannot do that. Ideologically religious Jews cannot recognise any part of the zionist state. "...The Muslims people basically got involved in the fight against zionism when it started effecting them on a political basis which is 1917 for the Palestinians or afterwards for some of the other Arab countries, We [religious Jews] were in this fight from the 1890's roughly... As soon as it was founded [zionism], it was condemned - Jews came out and said this is atheistic, this is idol worship..."

Justice Department Increasingly Avoiding Corporate Prosecutions The Justice Department has put off prosecuting more than fifty companies suspected of wrongdoing over the last three years. The decline in prosecutions is seen as a deliberate and dramatic shift in policy. While the news reported in a front-page article in the New York Times surprised many, the Justice Department’s use of so called “deferred prosecution agreements” is nothing new. Back in 2005, a report released by the Corporate Crime Reporter profiled dozens of these cases and warned against their use. We speak with Russell Mokhiber, editor of the Corporate Crime Reporter.

Ron Paul Questions, General Petraeus Avoids Answering Ron Paul lays out some tough questions, and only asks for an immediate response to one of them. The question was whether President Bush could bomb Iran without the approval of Congress. However, Petraeus avoids answering, even though surely a Four-Star General should know whether it is legal to bomb a country without the approval of Congress or not.

Fox News: Alex Jones on DC Madam Palfrey's Murder Fox News' Geraldo has 'conspiracy theorist' Alex Jones on to examine the evidence that shows that DC Madam Deborah Jean Palfrey was murdered-- despite the official claim that she committed suicide. Jones points out the numerous statements Palfrey made in refutation of suicide, as well as the criminology that women rarely hang themselves, generally preferring pills. Geraldo and two co-hosts admit they agree with Alex Jones-- that claims of Palfrey's suicide are "stinky" and suspicious and that the case should be further investigated. One woman even says that the John's on Palfreys list-- including many high-level politicians-- should be revealed and prosecuted. Palfrey's hi-rise apartment manager in Florida says he saw Palfrey only days before her death when she told him a contract may be out on her life. Additionally, she made arrangments to secure her apartment for the next six years-- the approximate time she expected to be in prison--seemingly pointing to the idea that she expected to stay alive.

Author, Blogger Arianna Huffington on How John McCain Has Changed Since Telling Her He Didn’t Vote for Bush in 2000 Blogger, author and nationally syndicated columnist Arianna Huffington revealed this week that Senator John McCain had told her eight years ago that he did not vote for President Bush in the 2000 election.

Australia: Sydney: Palestinian exhibition axed after police visit
THE decision by a Sydney library to dump an exhibition about Palestinian refugees after a visit by counter-terrorism police the night before it opened has been criticised as an act of censorship. Leichhardt municipal library was to launch the Al-Nakba pictorial exhibition last Friday. A local community group, Friends of Hebron, had developed the display of photos, poems and articles over eight months. "We set up the exhibition at the library on Thursday night and the librarian … approved the exhibition, and said that it could be seen by children and other people who enter the library," said Carole Lawson, a Friends of Hebron member. But that night, shortly before the library closed at 8pm, officers from the police counter-terrorism operations arrived at the library. A police spokesman said the officers were from the operations' community contact unit and had come only to "say hi" to Friends of Hebron members. "They went to introduce themselves just to let them know who they are and what they are about. [Speaking with community groups] is part of their charter," he said. "When they got there the librarian was the only one there … they just had a quick chat to the librarian." But Ms Lawson said: "They wanted to put the fear of god into the library staff and wanted the staff to feel threatened."

It is not an easy task to learn about subjects like the new-world-order, secret societies, the manipulation of the people, and the horrendous acts carried out on the people of this world.

Norman Finkelstein - Hezbollah, the Honour of Lebanon Norman Finkelstein, a Jewish American political scientist and author, specializing in Jewish-related issues and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in particular talks about the Lebanese militia Hezbollah and openly supports and praises their resistance: "They (Hezbollah) show courage, they show discipline, I respect that" On Israeli defeat and consequential withdrawal from Lebanon in 2000, Finkelstein says:"But the reality was -- and everyone understood it -- that the Israeli attitude was: We are going to knock out Hizbullah. They began planning for a new war right after they were forced to leave in 2000. They found their excuse, their pretext, in July 2006, but there is no question among rational people that Israel was never going to let the Hizbullah victory go by." "There is no way that the United States and Israel are going to tolerate any resistance (to their hegemony) in the Arab world." On the damage caused to Lebanon as a result of the resistance: "It's better to die on your feet than to walk crawling on your knees....how can I not respect those (Hezbollah) who say they would rather die on their feet? How can I not respect that?" Finkelstein then goes on to slam the stances taken by some sell out Arabs who continue to admire George Bush like 'Servants' despite Bush being the man behind the carpet bombing of Lebanon and says that Bush should be classified as 'persona non grata':"Who (would) roll out the red carpet less than two years after your whole country was destroyed by them (the US)? " "You (sell out-arabs) have NO self respect"

Former Chief UN Weapons Inspector Hans Blix on the US Rush to War in Iraq, the Threat of an Attack on Iran, and the Need for a Global Nuclear Ban to Avoid Further Catastrophe. The Bush administration’s claims of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq formed the key justification for the war to Congress, the American people and the international community. As the former chief United Nations weapons inspector in Iraq, Hans Blix was at the center of the storm. From March 2000 to June 2003, Blix oversaw the UN Monitoring, Verification, and Inspection Commission’s 700 inspections at 500 sites in the run-up to the invasion. Blix is currently the chair of the Swedish government’s Weapons of Mass Destruction Commission. His latest book, just published, is Why Nuclear Disarmament Matters. Blix joins us for the hour from Stockholm, Sweden.

Memorial Day Special…Winter Soldier on the Hill: War Vets Testify Before Congress
War veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan came to Capitol Hill this month to testify before Congress and give an eyewitness account about the horrors of war. Like the Winter Soldier hearings in March, when more than 200 service members gathered for four days in Silver Spring, Maryland to give their eyewitness accounts of the injustices occurring in Iraq and Afghanistan, “Winter Soldier on the Hill” was designed to drive home the human cost of the war and occupation—this time, to the very people in charge of doing something about it.
