9/11 Cover-Up!
(March 27, 2004)
A former FBI translator told the 9/11 commission that the bureau had detailed information well before Sept. 11, 2001, that terrorists were likely to attack the U.S. with airplanes. "They're pushing everything under the blanket of secrecy." Especially after reading National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice where she said, we had no specific information whatsoever of domestic
threat or that they might use airplanes. That's an outrageous lie. And documents can prove it's a lie."
Arab Summit ABORTED!
(March 28, 2004)
But it appears the 'Arab leaders' are not only despostic, inept, corrupt and impotent as we have been saying. It appears they are now so pathetic, so hopeless, so bamboozled about what is really going on in the world that making fools of themselves no longer even seems to phase them. In short, what a bunch of bumblers they have collectively become.
Sharon to Fall? Bibi to Rise?
(March 28, 2004)
Whether Sharon is forced out, resigns, is indicted, or dies at this point in history may not be all that important any more. He's already done much of what he came to the pinnacle of power to do. The role of Israeli Prime Minister of late is one in which different personalities are used to accomplish different missions at crucial historical times -- as Sharon's friends Generals Rabin and Barak as well as his former Foreign Minister, Shimon Peres, have in recent years found out before him..

Libya Scam?
(March 26, 2004)
With all the other lies and deceptions we already know about coming from those who hold power in official Washington and London, with all the covert CIA and Mossad disinformation campaigns and plots, can it possibly be that the Libya situation today is but one more U.S./U.K./Israeli political scam? Could it possibly be that the powers that be decided to perpetrate on the whole world this further hoax hoping it will help them weather all the credibility storms surrounding the Iraq debacle by pretending they at least got Gaddafi to give up the 'weapons of mass destruction' they say he almost had?
The Archbishop of Canterbury Should Stay Home
(March 26, 2004)
Let's start at the end here. Rather than be associated with 'despicable collaborators', rather than make another pretend visit to the Palestinians as did the Pope a few years ago, the sometimes outspoken and courageous Archbishop of Canterbury should wise up, realize how he is being used and abused by weak-minded Christian Palestinians associated with the despised PA, and stay home rather than attend the Sabeel conference as keynote speaker in Jerusalem next month.
U.S. Further Risks Destabilizing Pakistan plus Musharraf's Demise
(March 25, 2004)
Not only are they now putting the stability of nuclear-armed Pakistan at risk, on top of many of the key Arab client states. The U.S., U.K., and Israel are now risking history itself spinning out of control and a multi-decade crusade-like confrontation with no end in sight or known outcome.
History will damn them (the US and UK that is)
(March 25, 2004)
History will damn the US and the UK writes Professor Richard Overy from Kings College in London. Others, like John Pilger in the British media, but not the United States, are adding Israel to the list of the damned, first for having pushed the US and the UK into the occupation/invasion of Iraq (not to mention the still evolving 'clash of civilizations') and then of course for the brutal military occupation of the Palestinians where so much of the hatreds and bitterness originate.
Meanwhile, in the U.S. itself in fact, the corporate media as well as the politicians are all cowered, the people are bewildered as well as more polarized and frightened than ever, and the underpinnings of American power and greatness are fast eroding even as the 'leaders' proclaim victory and rally around their lapel flag-pins.
The CIA and Mossad are coming to a city near you!
(March 24, 2004)
Now the Hudson Institute, long connected with both the CIA and Mossad, is bringing a new 'Briefing Series' to New York and the in-crowd is dutifully lining up like lemmings, or is the more fitting metaphor like lambs going to slaughter. Here's the propaganda release about the new propaganda series now getting underway in New York City. And get this: "The Hudson Briefing Series is considering expanding to other major US cities."
HAMAS FOUNDER ASSASSINATED - Suitcase Nukes Threatened
(March 21, 2004)
They held him in their prisons not that long ago. Then they let him go after a botched Mossad attempt to assassinate other Hamas leaders in Amman. It was a deal orchestrated with King Hussein of Jordan and the CIA. Indeed King Hussein and Yasser Arafat were the first to rush to Yassin's hospital bedside paying him personal homage. Now he goes into history as one of the most significant Palestinian martyrs just as the recent secret meeting between the CIA-installed son of King Hussein, Abdullah II, with Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon has leaked out. And just as the top al-Qaeda leaders are being hunted down by the CIA and the Pakistanis and what may be a threat to use briefcase nukes is being published in Australia.
'Peace Movement' Realities Disastrous for Palestinians
(March 21, 2004)
Worst of all, for the Palestinians today's 'peace movement' borders on being totally disastrous. The national Arab American and Muslim organizations have either been destroyed, committed suicide, or essentially politically castrated -- it's become disreputable in fact just to be said to be affiliated with any of them. Jewish 'peace organizations' are little better, but for different reasons. All together they are unable to even hold small demonstrations on their own. And thus they all rush to put the names of all their fractured and in many cases nearly fictitious groups on the list of 'sponsors' of demonstrations like those that took place yesterday. And they do so even though Israel's 'liberal' supporters have managed to push the Palestinian situation so far under that it is hardly even mentioned these days in the newspaper and TV reports of what is being protested; not to mention the ongoing failure to continually highlight the alliance between the U.S. and Israel that is behind it all.
Journalists En Masse Walk Out on Powell
(March 20, 2004)
This is not the first time U.S. or Israeli troops have shot at, and in a few cases killed, journalists. And it should come as no surprise that it always seems to be journalists with 'unfriendly' news organizations that are 'mistakenly' targeted. It is the first time in memory however that journalists en masse have simply picked up and walked out on an American Secretary of State.
The PA - Incompetent and Inept
(March 19, 2004)
We make a point with MER of calling it like it really is on all accounts. That includes the sad and tragic realities of the 'Palestinian Authority' still headed by Yasser Arafat, more of which are exposed in this insightful article 'Hitting the Wall'. And that also includes the sad and tragic situation in Washington where a terribly misleading little group called the Council for the National Interest (CNI) keeps spinning ever-more-deceptive tall tales to continue collecting still more money and rewards from the misguided and inept Arab elite who know not what they do. More on this miserable laughable 'Washington Scene' situation among 'the Arabists' coming soon.
Iraq Occupation - Year 1
(March 16, 2004)
We say 'Year 1' because anyone who thinks the Americans are really 'turning sovereignty back to Iraq' on 30 June and ending their occupation just doesn't get what's really going on and how the American Empire really operates these days. Just as with the almost ludicrous statements from the British Foreign Minister about the Madrid bombings (second article below), believing anything the Americans or Brits say these days continues to become still more and more difficult. We refer again to former Chief Weapons Inspector David Kay, one of their own in fact, who publicly now admits "the U.S. has suffered a generational lose in credibility"; a credibility which by the way wasn't all that considerable to start with. But there still are vestiges of an independent media and intelligentsia left - more in the UK than in the US unfortunately - and this 'birthday' article by Robert Fisk makes that quite evident. Add this one to the 'must reading' list.
Iraqi 'Disaster' and 'GET Bin Laden Now!'
(March 15, 2004)
But just as was the case with Saddam in Iraq, more telling than the upcoming death/capture of Bin-Laden is the extreme expense and time and credibility-loss the American Empire has had to expend on attempting to accomplish it's imperial goals. The Spanish Prime Minster-elect's remarks today are but the tip of the possible political slippery slope ahead. Though they finally got Saddam hiding in a hole the overall Iraqi situation still continues to worsen, the U.S. is now desperately trying to get the U.N. to do what it has failed to do, and proconsul Bremer is busy preparing his own departure. More amazing than finally getting Bin Laden at this point is how long and difficult and costly the hunt has been. And though Bin Laden's end may be approaching, the clash primarily ignited by decades of misguided and treacherous U.S. and Israeli policies now has no end in sight.
Camp HELL - America's Little Gulag
(March 12, 2004)
"His story should make the international community insist that the
Americans stop their shameful behaviour.... Just as the free world
must unite against terrorism, so it must stand together to uphold
civilisation and the rule of law. We will not beat the terrorists by
the scandalous and debasing treatment of the Guantanamo prisoners." - Daily Mirror Editorial - 12 March
Replacing Saddam with Chalabi
(March 11, 2004)
Ahmad Chalabi is an amazingly resilient fellow and he wants to be the new political ruler of Iraq, one way or another. Chalabi is an Iraqi Shiite pretender who has been the darling, at various times, of the, the CIA, the Pentagon, the Arab elite, and most especially the Israeli Jewish neocons who have Washington by the neck these days. It was Chalabi who orchestrated most of the false and misleading stories that the Bush Administration used to justify the war against Iraq. And it was Chalabi who fed Judith Miller et. al. at the New York Times all the lies and distortions that the Times then fed the world.
Arafat Disaster, Then and Now
(March 10, 2004)
Four years ago this month MER published this article titled "The Arafat Disaster". So many others were so wrongly hopeful and mistakenly optimistic. Yasser Arafat was still the most frequent foreign visitor to the White House. Ehud Barak was the subject of such positive and uplifting reports coming from the corporate and the 'liberal' media. Bill Clinton and his Israeli-oriented-approved staff were pushing hard. A Palestinian State, peace, and prosperity were being continually proclaimed as preparations were underfoot for that summer's marathon Camp David negotiations, the culmination of what began on the White House lawn in 1993. But the independent experts knew better then even if they were rarely given a chance to speak up. And MER had been begun some years earlier precisely to give expression to "Mid-East Realities". Today, as the 'roadmap' unravels in deceptive, as the 'peace process' itself is exposed as a cruel hoax, and as the Israelis talk about 'dismantling' Gaza settlements even as they further expand others faster than ever, this reminder of the recent past now it seems so long ago:
IRAQ - Confrontation Only Delayed
(March 9, 2004)
What symbolism of history. The Americans and their Iraqi Council managed to find the old desk that King Feisal used to sign the British agreement that enthroned him in Baghdad after World War I, after all the broken promises for 'Arab nationhood' of that era, after the Paris 'Peace Conference' now known as 'the peace to end all peace'. Few seem to recall however the fate of that British-created Hashemite throne -- quite literally dismembered and dragged through the dusty streets in the violent revolution decades later. And then came the long era of Baath Party rule and Saddam Hussein -- himself originally supported and promoted by the Americans until, with Israel's pushing, they turned on him.
Israelis Massacre Palestinians
(March 8, 2004)
Adjusted for population size compared to the United States, more Palestinians were killed this weekend than Americans died on 11 September 2001 at the World Trade Towers. And that was just Palestinians in the Gaza Strip -- a sealed ghetto which more and more is like a concentration camp. In the past week alone more than twice as many Palestinians in Gaza Ghetto have been killed per capita as Americans who died on 9/11...and at least four times that number seriously injured.

Palestine Civil War Looms - From Gaza in Great Pain
(March 4, 2004)
And now...just a few years later....look at the world that has erupted from the Holy Land of the bible and from the policies pursued by the world's only superpower in combination with the little "Jewish State" of Israel. Indeed: "May They Rest in Peace":
