Unions, Government Reach Agreement in Strike Negotiations
Most Striking Doctors and Workers To Be Rehired With Back Pay Wednesday, June 11, 2003
All through May the people of Peru built a powerful wave of struggle--isolating the corrupt government and shaking the rotten system that holds them in misery. Peru's President Toledo responded with bloody repression--imposing a fascistic "state of emergency" and unleashing his soldiers to kill people in the streets. As we go to press, this powerful upsurge is still shaking the country.
The following report is based on mainstream press accounts.
sometimes things are outside the box
Now a force of 150,000 is stretched thin, facing increasingly frequent guerrilla attacks, and a senior officer told The Washington Post that it might be two years before an Iraqi government takes over. The Independent reports that British military chiefs are resisting calls to send more forces, fearing being "sucked into a quagmire."
A court and execution chamber could be built at the US detention camp in Cuba under plans being drawn up by military officials.
``It feels like someone's holding a hairdryer to your face,'' says Army Sgt. Daniel Conforti, 22, of Selden, N.Y.
And it's going to get worse. To hear Iraqis tell it, June is mild. ``This is nothing,'' they repeat, sometimes laughing. ``Wait until July. Wait until August.'' In those months, the mercury challenges the 130-degree mark.
P-I in Iraq: A parched village seeks relief
Portland's Mercy Corps responds to urgent need for clean water By LARRY JOHNSON SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER FOREIGN DESK EDITOR KAMP, Iraq -- Salema Waheed smiled at Muhhamed, the 9-month-old baby in her arms, and pulled her cloak around them both.
I wonder if the Isreali army is aware that you can't follow a Peace roadmap with a missle?
As the swelter of anger bubbles from the machination of misinformation that led to the faltering WMD casus belli for invading Iraq, the retreat and half-baked excuses of Bush, Blair, Cheney, Wolfowitz and Powell further expose the sharp edge of their deceit. Whether it was "intelligence" failure or "flailing" the intelligence, time will soon tell.
Hans Blix, the UN chief weapons inspector, lashed out last night at the "bastards" who have tried to undermine him throughout the three years he has held his high-profile post.
The fact that almost all religions believe that nothing, not even a single space or a single entity, is capable of restricting God's existence is an obvious indication that sub-atomic particles are part of God.
At least 3,240 civilians died across Iraq during a month of war... according to a five-week Associated Press investigation. The count is still fragmentary, and the complete toll — if it is ever tallied — is sure to be significantly higher... a Pentagon spokesman said... "...we never target civilians and have no reason to try to count such unintended deaths"...
Striking workers were attacked today with tear gas sprayed from tank-like vehicles.
Norwegian Weapons Inspector: US Lied About Iraq's Weapons
Wolfowitz: Iraq war was about oil
Only a pod person would stand up in public and claim that, because something can't be found, it must be there.
I am not an educated man, and there are plenty of folks who will tell you that I am not all that smart either. But I have a few questions about this WMD thing over in Iraq.
President Bush "unquestionably" has confidence in CIA Director George Tenet despite growing doubts about the accuracy of pre-war intelligence on Iraqi weapons, the White House declared Monday.
Separately, Raymond McGovern, a retired 27-year CIA veteran who serves in the leadership of Veterans Intelligence Professionals for Sanity, said some retired intelligence officers see the Bush administration positioning Tenet as the fall guy for allegedly flawed intelligence. "The smart money says he's being set up," said McGovern in an interview.
Now, "by sheer coincidence", former New Jersey governor Thomas Kean, the man chosen by President Bush to lead the 9/11 commission also has business ties with bin Mahfouz and Al-Amoudi.
Now you would think that being a business partner of the brother in law and alleged financier of "Enemy No. 1" would also be considered a bona fide "conflict of interest", particularly when your mandate --as part of the 9/11 Commission's work-- is to investigate "Enemy No. 1".
TORONTO (NFTF.org) -- The treacherous jungle that forms the border between Colombia and Venezuela is as dangerous as ever with the presence of guerilla warriors, drug traffickers and paramilitary units.
They have torn down his statues and peppered his portraits with bullet holes, but Iraq's interim U.S. rulers have been forced to print millions of new banknotes bearing the face of Saddam Hussein
The debunking of the Bush administration's pre-war certainties on Iraq gathered pace yesterday when it emerged that the CIA knew for months that a connection between Saddam Hussein and al-Qaida was highly unlikely.
BRITAIN ran a covert 'dirty tricks' operation designed specifically to produce misleading intelligence that Saddam had weapons of mass... Operation Rockingham... was set up to 'cherry-pick' intelligence proving an active Iraqi WMD programme... Operation Rockingham has been confirmed by Scott Ritter, the former UN chief weapons inspector, and a US military intelligence officer...

Will Steffen of the Swedish Academy of Sciences says the message for policy makers is clear: "We need to get on top of the greenhouse gas emissions problem sooner rather than later."
Serious ethical questions are now being raised that Bush administration's intelligence seems to have been either faulty or manipulated.
100 more acres are expropriated from Mas'ha. Here is translation of IDF orders to do so. Mainstream Media is now full of the story of Palestinian terrorists. All month long I read reports from Israel and Palestine about IDF atrocities AND killings of women and children. I saw none of these crimes reported in USA Mainstream Medias nor this:
Bush seen ready to denationalize Iraq's oil industry and start his colonial rule with a puppet regime parceling out drilling/producing contracts (and most profits) to friends/associates in British/American petroleum companies. Predictions he'll quickly undercut OPEC prices——especially the Saudi's Aramco operation.

The ever-changing rationalizations for wars for corporate empire used by the Bush junta and the seeming lack of suspicion by the American people that they are being lied to egregiously.

On May 21st in Manila, hunger strikers ended a month long fast protesting the commercialization of genetically engineered Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) corn in the Philippines. "We have done everything that is humanly possible to stop the poisoned seeds of genetically modified corn from being planted in our farms," ....

Texts on Proudhon in 2003
The situation regarding the Friday night [30 May] attack on Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and her entourage was far more serious than the State Peace and Development Council officially acknowledged. It is likely that hundreds of people died. A person who has carefully investigated the incident told Democratic Voice of Burma] that Daw Aung San Suu Kyi herself suffered a head injury and that scores of people appear to have died.
Even though there have been declarations of no child soldiers, observers have seen armed children on either side of the continuing conflict and within twenty-four hours of the arrival of French troops that were to establish a peacekeeping force, violence has once again erupted in the northeastern Democratic Republic of Congo.

America is imposing a "Code of Conduct" for the newly liberated Iraqi Media which will prevent "hateful and destabilizing messages" from being propagated on the airwaves or through the presses of liberated Iraq. Soon the Iraqi people will be able to enjoy an In-bedded media much like the Sheeple of America are privileged to enjoy! Can a FOX NEWS IRAQ or CLEAR CHANNEL IRAQ be far on the horizon?
A very perceptive analysis of the techniques with which the corporate media manipulate public opinion. Written by the author of many fine books on politics, Dr. Michael Parenti.
"The protocol lets countries ban imports of a genetically-modified product if they feel there is not enough scientific evidence the product is safe and requires exporters to label products containing genetically-altered commodities suchas corn or cotton."
