Pat Robertson Engages in Illegal Mining Operation in Liberia
Rev. Robertson is not troubled or concerned at all about doing business with President Taylor, a man widely known for "fueling the violence in Sierra Leone" and "actively supporting the RUF at all levels." Taylor is a known menace to his people as well as a danger to his neighbors in the West African sub-region. The heinous atrocities he inflicted upon the Liberian people are well documented, yet Pat Robertson claims to "have no knowledge of the activities in Liberia during its bitter civil war."

Iraqis take Bush's words to heart; US offers reward for lost dictator
Seven American soldiers were wounded in two separate attacks in Iraq today, a day after the US president, George Bush, said there were enough troops in Iraq to deal with the militants.

The US-led occupying powers in Iraq today announced a $25m (£15m) reward for information leading to the capture of Saddam Hussein or proof of his death.

President George Bush yesterday taunted the Iraqi groups waging a guerrilla war against US and British troops, saying "bring them on" and vowing that the coalition would not be forced into an early departure.

... And Human Rights For All?
With Saddam's weapons of mass destruction nowhere to be found, the president's Iraq talking points now center on the humanitarian upside of having ousted the Butcher of Baghdad. His speeches are liberally peppered with mentions of "mass graves," "torture chambers," and encomiums to "freeing the people of Iraq from the clutches of Saddam Hussein." He's all but doused himself in the sweet-smelling scent of human rights and put on an Amnesty International t-shirt.

When asked about the U.S.'s casualties in Iraq, Bush responded:

"There are some who feel like that, you know, the conditions are such that they can attack us there. My answer is, BRING 'EM ON. We got the force necessary to deal with the security situation."

The Attack Has Been Spectacular
Regardless how anyone frames it, the White House duped us. From "they hate us for our freedoms" to "solid evidence" of Al-Qaeda/Iraq connections, the Administration skirted some issues and manipulated information on others. In short, Bush Inc. lied and pressured others to do the same. The game plan succeeded, however, as polls repeatedly indicated that more than half of all U.S. citizens were consistently conned into believing Iraq was an immediate threat and that Saddam was involved in the Sept. 11 attacks.

U.S. troops in Iraq are getting ambushed everywhere and every day — while guarding gas stations, investigating car thefts or on their way to make phone calls home. The number of deaths from hostile fire is on the rise: six Americans were killed in May in enemy attacks, while 16 had died in June as of midnight Saturday.

Private risk analysts are warning of an even chance of Iraq descending into open revolt.

Rummy and Dick, vintage 1975 The whopper of the week goes to Field Marshall Rumsfeld, who actually said, with a straight face, "I don't know anybody in any government or any intelligence agency who suggested that the Iraqis had nuclear weapons."

Either Rumsfeld is suffering from major brain damage, perhaps caused by decades of gin drunks, or he is lying. CIA director George Tenet told us Iraq had a nuclear weapons program. And always-truthful Vice President Dick Cheney said of Saddam Hussein, flat out, "We believe he has, in fact, reconstituted nuclear weapons." We revise. You decide.

Iraq: Descending into the Quagmire
n late June, a clear signal came that the U.S. was getting closer to falling into a Vietnam-like quagmire. Iraq's Grand Ayatollah Ali Sistani, who was at first quite tolerant and even supportive of the invading troops, wrote of "great unease" concerning the length of the U.S. occupation, the failure of the U.S. to grant Iraqis self-rule, and what he saw as the biggest threat to Iraq: "the obliteration of its cultural identity." (Washington Post, June 23) As if to accentuate the Ayatollah's remarks, within 48 hours six UK military police were dead and another eight UK troops were wounded in two attacks deep in Shi'ite dominated southern Iraq.

More details on the History of Usury and Money
This expose starts from the 16th century and shows the development of the privately owned Central Bank of the United States commonly known as the Federal Reserve (there is nothing Federal about it, its a private central bank that has the power the create money out of nothing, issue private Federal Reserve notes which we use every day, and charge principal and interest on the fiat money that it created out of nothing, and it is'nt subject to audits either!). Henry Ford (founder of the Ford Motor Company in 1903) stated: "It is well that the people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning." (see The Foundation Economy by Fred Eggerton). Please note the the term "fiat money" refers to money for which there is no actual gold or silver equivalent stored at the Central Bank, i.e. its money created out of nothing! Note also that the Bible and the Quran (and may be other religious practices books) forbid usury.
