Crops are destroyed in two countries on the Sahel, while billions of locust eggs are currently underground and soon to hatch in the region, just weeks before what would have been a bumper harvest...

So, our government keeps a guy locked up for 3 years without trial because he's too dangerous to let go. When he was allowed to challenge his imprisonment, the JD backed off. And, then, to end the whole thing they're going to require that he renounce his citizenship.

In a victory for human and civil rights groups, a U.S. federal judge has given the government 30 days to turn over or identify all documents relating to the treatment of detainees held by the United States at military bases and other detention facilities overseas, including at the naval base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq.

UN spokes person model says war was bad years latter
A proposal in the draft submitted by the United States, Canada and Australia would also set an Oct. 31 deadline [Conveniently just before the re-election] on Iran to meet all the conditions. While no punitive action is directly threatened should it fail to do so, one western diplomat, who spoke on condition of anonymity described the date as an "indirect trigger" that could open the way for referral of Iran to the U.N. Security Council.
The furthest fringes of the culture - in its obscure webpages, zines, and samizdat publications, eerie shortwave and streaming audio radio voices that sound like they're coming from the other side (or maybe just a trailer in Lawrence, Kansas) - and the memes they contain, can be used a magic mirror, a shewstone, Delphic vapors where the future can be divined, where the cultural matrix you will find yourself in the future can be glimpsed now.
Abu Gharib. Home now of an infamous torture chamber of sadistic inhumane American behavior in a time of exploitation. We in all fareness can not call this war nor can we even call it an occupation. Occupation is kinder than what we have done. Please stop the torture.

I wrote this for a debate in some Pan-Arab Circles on the Merits of Communism, but I think it applies to many recent posts, as well.
The Iraqi kidnapping has the mark of an undercoverpolice operation.
Many people remember Kwame Ture from the epic book "Black Power" as a youth with sun glass, and an uncanny ability to inspire a crowd. What many people to do not realize and are unwilling to accept, here in the US, a former APARTHEID STATE, and product of settler-colonialism, is that on a world scale Kwame Ture was respected as one of the greatest and most scholarly theorists in North America. He met with Ho Chi Minh, Kim Il Sung, Castro, etc. He opened up ties between revolutionaries in Ireland and the African Diaspora in the US. He was as at the forefront of Socialist and anti-imperialist circles, and WAS A DEVOTE INTERNATIONALIST WITHOUT GIVING UP HIS AFRICAN IDENTITY.
Shortly before his death, in a true spirt of internationalism and friendship, Kwame Ture was going to attend a conferance in Libya, against the will of the US. Even as he expresses his internationalism, it is expressed from "were he comes from". In fact, the name Kwame Ture is derived from to great Marxists (or Marxist-leaning), Kwame Nkruman and Sekou Ture. ---John Paul Cupp  http://irsn.jeeran.com
SAID IN APRIL 1997 BY THE U.S. SECRETARY OF DEFENSE, WILLIAM COHEN: "Others [terrorists] are engaging even in an eco-type of terrorism whereby they can alter the climate, set off earthquakes, volcanoes remotely through the use of electromagnetic waves... So there are plenty of ingenious minds out there that are at work finding ways in which they can wreak terror upon other nations... It's real, and that's the reason why we have to intensify our [counterterrorism] efforts." --- Secretary of Defense William Cohen at an April 1997 counterterrorism conference sponsored by former Senator Sam Nunn. Quoted from DoD News Briefing, Secretary of Defense William S. Cohen, Q&A at the Conference on Terrorism, Weapons of Mass Destruction, and U.S. Strategy, University of Georgia, Athens, Apr. 28, 1997.
North America has not had "normal" weather since July 1976, and we are likely never to have "normal" weather again. In 1975, the Soviets attempted to obtain a treaty with the rest of the world, outlawing the development of frightful new weapons of mass destruction - "more frightful than the mind of man had ever imagined", according to Brezhnev himself. Gromyko introduced the draft treaty into the 1975 session of the United Nations General Assembly. No one knew what the Soviets were referring to. Failing to obtain the treaty, the Soviets in 1975-76 embarked on the greatest military buildup in history. This buildup was nothing short of a full-fledged preparation to be ready to take over the world, beginning in 1985 (the "ready" time per Brezhnev's 1972 statement at a secret Prague meeting of European Communist Party leaders). The Soviets met this scheduled goal. MEG: Patents are not granted on devices which do not work, so in a sense this announcement proclaims a new era. The MEG device itself proclaims and proves that energy is abundantly available everywhere, for free.
Retired general William Odom, former head of the National Security Agency: "Bush hasn't found the WMD. Al-Qaida, it's worse, he's lost on that front. That he's going to achieve a democracy there? That goal is lost, too. It's lost. This is far graver than Vietnam."
Retired general Joseph Hoare, the former marine commandant and head of US Central Command: "We're conducting a campaign as though it were being conducted in Iowa, no sense of the realities on the ground." Jeffrey Record, professor of strategy at the Air War College: "The worst case has become true. I see no exit." W Andrew Terrill, professor and the top Iraq expert at the Army War College's strategic studies institute: "I don't think that you can kill the insurgency".
"In '94 it was a myth, but in '04 it's the real thing," Rob Rosenberg, editor of the debunking site Vmyths.com, told the computer security web site SecurityFocus. "We've got the JPEG of death now."
The United Nations secretary general, Kofi Annan, declared explicitly for the first time last night that the US-led war on Iraq was illegal.
Mr Annan said that the invasion was not sanctioned by the UN security council or in accordance with the UN's founding charter. In an interview with the BBC World Service broadcast last night, he was asked outright if the war was illegal. He replied: "Yes, if you wish." He then added unequivocally: "I have indicated it was not in conformity with the UN charter. From our point of view and from the charter point of view it was illegal."
9th September 2004 UK-Today, during a routine weekly SPEAK peaceful protest against the building of the new primate research laboratory at Oxford, builders decided to
throw a noxious substance onto the protesters below. At least half a dozen peaceful activists, among them, a 70 year-old woman merely holding a sign, were injured by the substance which was intentionally thrown upon them, in an effort to halt the rights of protesters to stop the new Oxford Lab being built. Police immediately arrived at the scene and promptly arrested one person, a construction worker and investigations are continuing with regards to others involved in the assault.

Slipping through loopholes with help from the Dept. of Interior, US defense contractors in Iraq enjoy impunity. American soldiers overseas are subject to the Uniform Code of Military Justice. Professional soldiers, i.e. contractors are not.
Four years ago, Congress tried to patch this with the Military Extraterritorial Jurisdiction Act. It only covers employees of the DOD, and because of this limitation, it has not been effective.

I am opposed to 9-11 conspiracy theories since I am convinced that they are evidence for historical amnesia as well as demonstrating a profound lack of empathy for the victims of American Foreign Policy.

Salon spoke with Kelley on Monday afternoon at the midtown New York offices of Doubleday, her book publisher.
[Salon:] The Bush forces are coming after you very strongly. And now the media is too. [Kitty Kelley:] Yes, they are, this is what they do, this is how they operate. It's interesting, from talking with the media today, the European media is much less intimidated than the American press. The Americans are all saying, "well, why should we listen to you. Look at the books you've written." Well, excuse me, those books have stood up, I stand behind everything in those books, they've stood the test of time. And this book will too. So I see how this media spin is working, and I'm not surprised. You'd think the media would look at my book and follow up on it - all right, she says here they instituted drug testing in the National Guard at such and such time, let's call up and find out if that's true. But don't beat me up just because I've come to you with almost a thousand sources. You know, I've gone through four sets of lawyers, because I'm dealing with a sitting president." [S:] What do you think W will do if he loses in November? Will he happily go back to baseball? [KK:] No. You know something that I have found out from this family after four years - he doesn't plan to lose. They know how to win - no matter what. [S:] What does that mean? [KK:] That means these people can put the Sopranos to shame. [S:] Does that mean vote stealing? [once more,duh of course] [KK:] That's a bit overt. But nothing will stand in the way of these people winning. Nothing. You start out looking at the Bush family like it's The Donna Reed Show and then you see it's The Sopranos. anyone got out of Yale without developing some interest in the world besides booze and sports stuns me." New Yorker writer Brendan Gill recalls roaming the Kennebunkport compound one night while staying there looking for a book to read - the only title he could find was The Fart Book.

This poem was written during the war to end class war by killing off the poor. Never before was the poorer class so rounded up and jailed as during this war. A time of Eugene Debs, women's right to vote, and anarchist sweeps swept our eurocommunities. Here are the poets words.
From a series of this weeks articles we are viewing an extremely volatile situation brewing in Nepal. Please inform others and try to prevent this. Even a small amount of work could prevent the massacre about to take place.
Words that the Original Peoples need to remember and overstand in north amerikkkanada -- nothing different than what Garvey, Elijah Muhammad, Malik Shabaaz, Leonard Peltier, Huey Newton, Fred Hampton.... have said and said and said and said until along came the spoilers to silence them --
"Whether the oppressors are troops from the USA, or cobbled together out of co-operative Iraqis, the reistance to capitalism and neo-colonialism in Iraq will not be stopped." ...It is the combination of all this that fuels the resistance and encourages many young men to fight. Few are prepared to betray those who are fighting. This is crucially important, because without the tacit support of the population, a sustained resistance is virtually impossible.
The number of military contractors fighting the war in Iraq continues to increase: as does their cost. Unfortunately, so does our ability to track them and the hidden cost of their support.
Attached is the call for a national day of protest on October 22nd to stop police brutality, repression, and the criminalization of a generation.
Tory leader Michael Howard made his first major speech on climate change on Monday 9/13, as Tony Blair prepares a similar speech for Today - a Green Party spokesperson has accused both party leaders of "trying to pull the wool over the voters' eyes".

Despite spending trillions of dollars and sacrificing thousands of lives to "secure" Iraq's oil supplies, the U.S. is continually shown up by the Iraqi resistance. Like all wars, the war in Iraq is a complete disaster for the environment--and after all, you can't really separate impacts to the "environment" from impacts to human lives.
The expansion of humanity's ecological impact on the planet cannot continue much longer without violating natural thresholds. To survive, we must develop a new way of thinking about our economic activities. This article briefly describes the author's approach to such a new mode of thought.
"Globalization is a real process rooted in the crisis of worldwide capitalist exploitation and describing a new quality of capital export. Outsourcing particular areas in the global repression competition replaces the export of complete industrial products.."
We are constantly reminded by our elected officials (and those who steal their elections) and the pro-Israel filtered media, of the acts of revenge that Palestinian and Muslim groups have committed against the people of Israel, however, we are almost never told about the brutal and inhumane acts of state terrorism that the government of Israel has beeen inflicting against the people of Israel, ever since its inception.
Will we gain justice or whimper like cowards for what should be ours? Is human dignity not a right? Should beauty not be within site? Should dreary cities claim our lives and rot, filth, and injustice be our worth? Roar our NO! Finally NO! We shall have this land again!JUSTICE
A U.S. Bradley armored vehicle burns in street following heavy clashes in the center of the Iraqi capital Baghdad, September 12, 2004. Strong explosions shook central Baghdad at dawn and heavy fighting erupted in a street notorious as a rebel stronghold, in violence that killed at least 22 Iraqis, the U.S. army and witnesses said.
It was one of the heaviest barrages in Baghdad for months. "We've seen a tremendous increase in the number of attacks," said Brigadier General Erv Lessel, a U.S. military spokesman.
Secretary of State Colin Powell testifies before the U.S. Senate Governmental Affairs Committee on Capitol Hill, September 13, 2004. Powell, who made the case to the world that pre-war Iraq had stocks of chemical and biological weapons, said he now thought these will probably never be found.

Engineering the weather is duck soup; they tested that over the U.S. in 1967, and entered upon continuing operations over North America on July 4, 1976 as a grim kind of KGB "Bicentennial Gift" to the United States. Here's how it is done with several interferometers. First, the interferometers can deliberately make "high pressure areas" (cool the air so it shrinks and its "footprint" pressure on the ground increases because its density increases) and "low pressure areas" (heat the air so that expands and its "footprint" pressure on the ground decreases because its density decreases). Well, if one makes the highs and lows where one wishes them, and judiciously and somewhat slowly moves them along a given path, these highs and lows will entrain the jet streams and thus "steer" the weather.
"For the past six months I have been undergoing the greatest paradigm shift I have ever had to go through. It has rattled my nerves and shaken my bones. This intense adjustment of my "world"has come about by studying the information given by Col. Tom Bearden at his website Cheniere. The new knowledge there has necessitated a total revision of my ideas about physical reality, the world we live in, and the future of humanity. This paradigm shifting even actually made me dizzy on certain days as I tried to absorb and digest Bearden's vast amount of information. I am not a scientist at all, just a layman, and I have little comprehension of the math and high physics of this new science called "Scalar Electromagnetics." But there is a great deal of information at Cheniere which needs to become common knowledge as fast as possible, for the sake of the survival of life on earth. To that end I have put together this small primer...
There is about to be a bloody massacre in Nepal. Osstensibly it will be the Nepalese governement but on closer view it is the US and our trade systems. We trade bullets for farms. We have a short count down but getting the people a voice in Nepal is imperative!

Where is the outrage, or even the slightest hint of recogniton, of the US public over the horrific killings by the Amerikan military against Iraqi civilians, especially over the past several days?
LONDON (Reuters) - A campaigner dressed as Batman, from the fathers' rights group that pelted Prime Minister Tony Blair with flour-filled condoms, has caused a major security breach by scaling the front of Buckingham Palace and staying on a small ledge at Queen Elizabeth's London residence for several hours before being removed by police around 7:20 p.m.
