Spotlight Reviews January 4, 2000 Reviewer: miketol@mtco.com (Eureka, IL United States) When In Retrospect first came out, some of the people at the college where I teach came up to me and said: "Did you hear? McNamara's published a book and he says the Vietnam War was all a mistake!" Whoa - talk about your late-breaking news! Still, I suppose hearing those sentiments from the highest levels imparts a certain power to them that us lowly grunts could never hope to possess - but I think I recall saying "this is a big mistake" on my first patrol (I served in 'Nam in '68-'69). The rub, of course, comes when we try to figure out WHY it was a mistake, and it is here that McNamara can give us something truly significant. Does he? I think that he does, but what he has to give us has been dished up many times before. Apparently realizing that he hadn't provided those answers the war requires in In Retrospect, McNamara instituted a series of conferences...

25 January, 2006 Alternet Scott Ritter served as a Chief UN Weapons Inspector in Iraq from 1991 until his resignation in 1998. He is the author of, most recently, Iraq Confidential: The Untold Story of the Intelligence Conspiracy to Undermine the UN and Overthrow Saddam Hussein (Nation Books, 2005). S tung by growing criticism of his Iraq policy which has manifested itself in all-time low public opinion ratings, President Bush last month embarked on a tour in which he delivered five speeches outlining his "Plan for Victory" in Iraq, as well as offering a defense of his decision to invade Iraq. "It is true that much of the intelligence [used to justify the invasion] turned out to be wrong", Mr. Bush said in the fourth of these speeches. "As President, I'm responsible for the decision to go into Iraq." While taking responsibility for his actions, Mr. Bush has not taken well to any criticism of his role in over-selling the cas...

the united states bombed and invaded iraq and is now continually killing people in order to be considered friendly the us demands that the iraqis approve of this hostile act those who disapprove of the united states bombing, invasion and continual killing are considered to be terrorists and are often arrested and/or killed the united states is training the iraqis who approve of this hostile act to remain friendly to prove how friendly they are they must continue to kill other iraqis now and for years to come now some iraqis are bit confused and disapprove for some insane reason they think this is a bad idea since their life supporting infrastructure has been destroyed by the united states and they have for many years watched their children and loved ones suffering and dying the natural inclination of the crazy ones is to feel unfriendly toward the united states its occupation its military presence and its continued activities in their land and would do anything in their power to disco...

a retired attaché to the united nations once told me "if you understand the politics and know your way around the bureaucracy , you will find that the US federal government is the most corrupt system in the world and you can make a lot of money here to prove this all one needs to do is to look at how many high government officials are listed as "insiders" with the sec and investigate their holdings in corporations currently operating or will operate under government contract contracts that are war dependent so for instance a pharmaceutical company is researching a new drug which the us government promises to stockpile in the event of a biological attack by investigating the board of directors of that corporation you may notice the name of a high government official when you study the stock of that company you can easily obtain the information about any stock purchases made by "insiders" it will intrigue you to notice who owns exactly how much of what

Published on Sunday, January 25, 2004 by the Globe & Mail (Canada) In an exclusive interview, repentant Vietnam War architect Robert McNamara breaks his silence on Iraq: The United States, he says, is making the same mistakes all over again by Doug Saunders 'Yet we were wrong, terribly wrong. We owe it to future generations to explain why." With those words, written nine years ago, Robert McNamara began an extraordinary final phase of his career -- devoted to chronicling the errors, delusions and false assumptions that turned him into the chief architect and most prominent promoter of the Vietnam war. No historic figure has put so much effort into self-examination: At the age of 87, he has now written three very detailed and analytical books, and starred in one very good movie, devoted to the fundamental mistakes that led the United States into the most politically costly and least successful war in its history. What, then, does he think about Iraq? Until now, the former s...

power and authority that comes from money the false creation of value embodied in the act of usury through the federal reserve system is no power and no authority at all but the denegration of a person's honest labor as sure as the devil lives in hell credit is a subtle form of bondage which leads to the destruction of value and the enslavement of a state the feeling of being in debt is the feeling of being shackled and imprisoned so long as a person is incarcerated within the high guarded walls of debt he will never know feeling of freedom true power and authority comes from true philanthropy the spirit of giving out of the resources of one's abundance or enjoying the act of stewarding in trusted association with the properties of another [click here for more on usury]

George Washington spoke of government of the popular sort as compared to monarchial forms of government utterly impossible there is no such thing as governments of the popular sort since government requires stamina, discipline and good judgement

This is a response to the article recently published in Truthdig. "Billions Wasted in Iraq" . "It's How-dy Doody time!" These articles serve as another cute diversion for the naive public sponsored by the white collar corporate strategists and the billions they have legitimately bilked the Treasury over the Iraq issue —the same old scheme. The same obsessed treasure hunters that calmly created Lenin, Hitler and Hussein on Wall Street later fomented horrible calamities through their hand which always necessitated an advanced costly "military industrial complex" to address them, albeit, patriotically. These peacelovers mastefully invented these terrible crises with full intent and forethought as criminals do for the lucrative rewards that war and destruction inevitably bring. The Harrimans, Walkers and the Bushes, true Americans, were among such sponsors of the thirties and forties whose priorities,first, last and always —were to make money. Adept at pro...

Click on to view. 4 parts. New York Times war correspondent and author on books which reveal the true nature of war was uterly rejected by the students of Rockford College in Illinois. Mr. Hedges gave his views about the U.S. involvement in Iraq and the new era which is upon us. Very few people listened. If Mr. Hedges were gifted politician, in my view, who could have pandered to the ego of his audience with flattery and lies he might have won a hearing. But, his delivery was only factual and of vital urgency for these times, and his audience seemed hard hearted toward his message. Without judging him or his audience I would say that what took place is wholely consistent with the effects that the uncomfortable truth tends to have upon ears of those who have been conditioned to believe lies. This is a good example of The Naked Underground. The Text is as follows: Text of the Rockford College graduation speech by Chris Hedges I want to speak to you today...

At first, in the early days of his power, he is full of smiles, and he salutes every one whom he meets; -- he to be called a tyrant, who is making promises in public and also in private! liberating debtors, and distributing land to the people and his followers, and wanting to be so kind and good to every one! Of course, he said. But when he has disposed of foreign enemies by conquest or treaty, and there is nothing to fear from them, then he is always stirring up some war or other, in order that the people may require a leader. To be sure. Has he not also another object, which is that they may be impoverished by payment of taxes, and thus c...

savethemales.ca is among the best journals i have found on the study of conspiracy - here are a few interesting viewpoints - what do you think? Financial Oligarchy Is Behind This War by Rachel Douglas of EIR General Colonel Leonid G. Ivashov, the outspoken former head of the International Military Cooperation Department of the Russian Ministry of Defense, has published a strategic assessment of the current fighting in Southwest Asia. (www.iamik.ru). According to Gen. Ivashov, the driving force behind the Israeli operation against Hezbollah and Lebanon is not provocations by Syria or Iran, not Hezbollah, and not Israel itself, nor the United States, or Great Britain. Rather, writes Ivashov, "In our view, the primary player is the politically shadowy world financial oligarchy, which is working steadily and persistently to change the political, economic, and social organization of the global community, in its own interest. The well-known American economist Lyndon LaRouche calls th...

The Intelligence Community is guided by the definition of terrorism contained in Title 22 of the US Code, Section 2656f(d): "—The term “terrorism” means premeditated, politically motivated violence perpetrated against noncombatant targets by subnational groups or clandestine agents, usually intended to influence an audience." Think about this.
