Beyond Orwell: The Electronic Police State, 2010

Once upon a time, the masters of declining empires had only a limited array of tools to snoop on their unsatisfied masses. The top ten nations were of two types: Those who had the will to spy on every citizen, but lacked the ability, and those who had the ability, but lacked the will. Thanks to modern technology, that is no longer the case: The able have become willing, and these traditional restraints have been overcome.
The USA has negated our Constitution's fourth amendment in the name of "wars against terror, drugs and cyber attacks. At this time, so-called "Western democracies" are not far behind "beacons of freedom" such as China, North Korea, Belarus and Russia when it comes to repressive police measures. Now, our United States is a mere 2/100th of a point behind Russia, when it comes to Internet and other forms of electronic spying.
The worst offenders of their citizens' liberties are now, in that order: North Korea, China, Belarus, Russia, "our" United States, United Kingdom, France, Israel, Singapore, and Germany.

Our US Government Kills Two Pregnant Mothers and a Teenage Girl

Our "modern" US Army often reverts to the ancient days of barbarism in order to accomplish its ordered missions: On February 12, US and Afghan Army forces launched a pre-dawn assault on the home of a prominent and popular policeman's home just outside Gardez, the capital of Paktia province in eastern Afghanistan. First, they killed the policeman, who had been standing in his doorway, protesting the innocence of his family. In the volley of fire directed against him, his pregnant wife, another pregnant woman and an 18-year old girl were also slaughtered. The families had been holding a party to celebrate the naming of a newborn baby boy. Sitting together along the walls of the guest room, the men had been taking turns dancing their traditional songs while the assembled musicians played. The group's singer said that at sometime after 3AM, one of the musicians went outside to go to the toilet. At that moment someone shone a light on his face, and the despicable murder of the assembled party began. Also killed was Saranwal Zahir, Dawood's brother, and the local prosecuter, who had been shouting for the soldiers not to shoot, as the women ran outside to tend to the wounded. Do you suppose that this village will ever support our war in Afghanistan! Please click on the headline, to read the rest of that story!

Arabs accuse Israel of "Ethnic Cleansing" their remaining territory!

In an article by Marwan Bishara, titled: "Jerusalem, Unholy Fault Lines", the author predicts a new cycle of confrontation with far reaching regional consequences for Israel. Like the fault lines deep underground in the nation of Chile, which may yet destroy more of that unfortunate country, Israel is now about to be "shaken, not stirred" to the very depth of its narrow-minded "leadership", though Binjamin Netenyahu, the Israeli prime minister, is counting on the commitment of Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestinian president, to prevent another Intifada.
He is most likely going to wait in vain: His constituency is still upset that more than a third of Al Quds has been expropriated for Israeli construction, while 22 per cent is zoned for "green" areas and public infrastructure, and 30 per cent remains "unplanned".
For this reason, the Obama administration had asked Israel to freeze all demolition of Palestinian homes in order not to aggravate tensions in the city.

A Timeline of Oil and Violence in Afghanistan

Thinking of joining the US Army and fighting in Afghanistan? Its all about oil, of course, and now you can read how we got into this mess, in which you, and your fellow soldiers may lose an arm, a leg, or even your life: Try to get a hot bimbo to satisfy your natural sexual needs, if you no longer have all of your body parts. I suspect is can't be done. When I served in Vietnam, and was saturated by "Agent Orange", I lost my pancreas, which is necessary to maintain an erection. Fortunately, I was able to court a wonderful girl who married me despite my unfortunate loss, but I would feel guilty, if I didn't ask you to avoid a similar fate.
First of all, WE are not in that troubled world to catch bad guys who toppled the World Trade Center - In reality, WE - the powers who run our American government, did that all by ourselves.
I urge you to check http://www.ringnebula.com/ where you will find a timeline for our our intervention in Afghanistan. It all started on July 3, 1979, when President "Jimmy" Carter signed a secret directive aiding opponents of the pro-Soviet regime in Kabul, calculated to induce a Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.

What Should we have learned from the Vietnam War??

Since I served as Civil Affairs Officer there, and later as Advisory Team Leader north of Kontum, and then in the so-called "Iron Triangle", I am uniquely qualified to answer that vital question, lest my fellow Americans follow in my footsteps and repeat my mistakes:
Was the US trying to bring freedom and democracy to South Vietnam? NO! The US prevented the nationwide election scheduled for 1956 and the 1954 Geneva Conference. According to then President Eisenhower: "I have never talked or corresponded with a person knowledgeable in Indo- Chinese affairs who did not agree that had elections been held at the time of the fighting, possibly 80 percent of the population would have voted for the communist Ho Chi Minh as their leader.
By 1965 nothing had changed, according to US "pacification" chief John Paul Vann:
A popular base for the government of South Vietnam does not now exist - The existing government is oriented towards the exploitation of the rural and lower class urban populations - the dissatisfaction of the agrarian population is expressed largely through alliance with the National Liberation Front, which the American politicians and the press call the 'Viet Cong'.

German Anti-Partisan Guide - Warfare Against "Bands", Dated 6th May, 1944

This old document by the "evil" Germans might be used by "our" US armed forces today, merely by changing a few dates and eliminating, as usual, any concerns about killing any innocent civilians:
"Actions against bands necessitates close co-operation between the military authorities, the Reichsfuehrer-SS, and the civil authorities. In actions against bands, the following techniques have been used so far with success: Encirclement of the bands and "cleaning out" of the encircled area. (To me, that seems to include any civilians, including any women or children, which had the audacity to take up arms against our glorious army and its obviously superior government) But I digress: "In the fight against bands territorial borders are to be disregarded. If during a battle, the undertaking spreads over adjoining territory, it has to be continued without fail. The early participation of adjoining units in the planning of larger actions secures their timely intervention."
"Destruction through surprise attack and hunt. If the forces or time are not sufficient for encirclement, or difficult ground makes it impossible, the bands, even without previous encirclement, have to be attacked, defeated and hunted until they are completely destroyed."
If you dig out an old copy of "Lawrence of Arabia", and you go to the part where the "noble" Englishman screams: "NO PRISONERS" to his indigenous army, you get the picture of what we are doing to the innocent families of Afghanistan!
May God have mercy on your souls, if you choose to participate in this murderous war.

More News from the "Afghanistan Resistance"

The so-called "Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan" has issued another bulletin about their progress in destroying our coalition forces in their country: Allegedly, for the last two weeks, a 15,000 man army of NATO, British and American forces has been carrying out military operations in Marjah, which is located in the Nad Ali district. We moved into that area with Abram and "Sifton" tanks, but according to this source, our losses were more than 100 soldiers. Using skilled snipers, the enemy forces have destroyed 53 of the coalition tanks, shot down two unmanned drones, as well as one helicopter.
Including the tank crews, the Afghans believe that they have killed more than one hundred of our coalition soldiers.
Apparently, we have twice attempted to drop highly skilled parachutists into the rear of our enemy forces, but after the "Mujahideen" inflicted substantial losses in their ranks, Major General Nick Carter, the NATO commander in Helmand Province said it will take three months to indicate whether his operations were successful.
