Who's Who of the Elite

For those of you who don't know who Robert Gaylon Ross, Sr. is, here is a brief biographical statement. Robert Gaylon Ross, Sr. was born in Big Lake, Texas, he holds a BS degree in Industrial Engineering from Texas A & M University. While active in engineering, he was a licensed Professional Engineer in the State of Texas, and a National Certified Manufacturing Engineer. After graduation, he accepted a commission as a 2nd Lieutenant (later promoted to 1st Lt.) in the Army Security Agency (ASA), a branch of the National Security Agency (NSA), which is a big brother to the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). Military training was in the field of cryptoanalysis (the breaking of codes), and served as a Company Commander with an Intelligence Unit on the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) in the Chorwan valley of South Korea, from 1956 to 1957 (after the fighting had ceased).

Upon leaving active duty, began his professional career in the petroleum industry. Served as an Industrial Engineer for ten years until being promoted into management, and was a manufacturing Plant Manager for over ten years.The past seventeen years he served as an International Management Consultant, working in the US, Japan, Mexico, Canada, England, and Iran.

After completing the manuscript to the first book, Who's Who of the Elite, he contacted a number of publishers to ascertain their interest in this material. They all declined because of the subject matter, so he formed his own publishing company, RIE, and published this first of fourteen books in progress. The author has devoted the rest of his life to exposing the real truth about the world controllers who would like to make us all their slaves.

How to shut up your critics with a single word

by Robert Fisk

Thank God, I often say, for the Israeli press. For where else will you find the sort of courageous condemnation of Israel's cruel and brutal treatment of the Palestinians? Where else can we read that Moshe Ya'alon, Ariel Sharon's new chief of staff, described the "Palestinian threat" as "like a cancer – there are all sorts of solutions to cancerous manifestations. For the time being, I am applying chemotherapy."

Where else can we read that the Israeli Herut Party chairman, Michael Kleiner, said that "for every victim of ours there must be 1,000 dead Palestinians". Where else can we read that Eitan Ben Eliahu, the former Israeli Air Force commander, said that "eventually we will have to thin out the number of Palestinians living in the territories". Where else can we read that the new head of Mossad, General Meir Dagan – a close personal friend of Mr Sharon – believes in "liquidation units", that other Mossad men regard him as a threat because "if Dagan brings his morality to the Mossad, Israel could become a country in which no normal Jew would want to live".

You will have to read all this in Ma'ariv, Ha'aretz or Yediot Ahronot because in much of the Western world, a vicious campaign of slander is being waged against any journalist or activist who dares to criticise Israeli policies or those that shape them. The all-purpose slander of "anti-Semitism" is now used with ever-increasing promiscuity against anyone – people who condemn the wickedness of Palestinian suicide bombings every bit as much as they do the cruelty of Israel's repeated killing of children – in an attempt to shut them up.

Who benefits most from the DC Sniper, Anthrax Attacks, and 9/11?

This spells it out in black and white, if you want to find out WHO the perps are, you need to work out WHO stands the most to gain, as the old saying goes; "Where there's smoke, there's fire."

Many segments of American society have benefited greatly from the atrocities we have suffered over the last year and two months. Law enforcement, the US Military, the national security establishment, the arms industry, the Center for Disease Control, and defense contractors have all come out on top. George Bush and his neo-conservative/fascist regime have won great political points as well (though one must wonder why the reverse is not true). There is, however, one office within the US Government and one set of defense contractors who have benefited from each and every of the aforementioned events. Interestingly, this one office is run by an individual previously convicted of running a government within a government, in an illegal and clandestine project to accomplish his president's goals, outside of the law.

Of course, we are talking about the Information Awareness Office led by John Poindexter. Many of the projects under the umbrella of this office predate the IAO. In fact, workers at Cycorp of Austin, Texas were developing tools for the Rapid Knowledge Formation (RKF) project before 9/11 where the test domain was "the release of biological agents" such as anthrax delivered by none other than Osama bin Laden through Al-Qaeda. When the Austin American Statesman wrote an article about this, just after 9/11, Cycorp tried to suppress the article through use of contacts at the Department of Defense. Subsequently, a representative of the DoD contacted the Austin American Statesman in hope of killing the article before publication. The Statesman published it anyway. The Bio-Surveillance Project and the Evidence Extraction and Link Discovery project all predate the attacks of 9/11 construction of the IAO and now find their home within the IAO. John Poindexter's involvement in EELD predates the IAO as well. The foreign press howled when Poindexter was chosen to lead the IAO. Not surprisingly, the well controlled US Media and press was largely silent.

The Bush Family and Nazi Blood Money

by Victor Thorn

Have you ever wondered how Adolf Hitler, a destitute artist who lived in flophouses, was able to become Germany’s preeminent Furher-god in the 1930’s and 1940’s? I mean, how many near-homeless people are you aware of that have had such good fortune befall them? As many of you know, the Nazi phenomenon was not accidental. Instead, Wall Street bankers (among others) were the hidden financiers behind their meteoric rise to power. Even more regrettable is the fact that our current President’s family were among those who bankrolled and profited enormously from the German War Machine.

Authors Webster G. Tarpley and Anton Chaitkin, in “George Bush: The Unauthorized Biography” sum up the situation as such: “By deciding that Prescott Bush [George W. Bush’s grandfather] and the other directors of the Union Banking Company were legally FRONT MEN FOR THE NAZIS, the government avoided the more important historical issue: In what way were Hitler’s Nazis themselves hired, armed and instructed by the New York and London cliques of which Prescott Bush was an executive manager?”

So, before getting into the nuts-and-bolts of this article, I’ll begin by saying that what you are about to read is not “new” information. It is readily available from a wide variety of sources, so please don’t think my intent is to break new ground. Rather, my purpose is to provide an overview of how Dutch Intelligence and U.S. Government files ‘confirm absolutely’ a direct link between Prescott Bush, the Thyssen Family, and death profits derived from our second world war. They derived this blood-money via the Union Banking Corporation (UBC), where Prescott Bush and his father-in-law George Herbert Walker joined forces with German manufacturer Fritz Thyssen and bankrolled Adolf Hitler prior to, and during, WWII.

Mossad, the Gulf War and Saddam Hussein

I know I keep bangin' on about Ostrovsky's books but they are SUPERB! The Mossad wouldn't have tried so hard to have them banned if Victor was talking shit. His books are HIGHLY believable and a lot of what he says is independently verifiable on the Internet. It's very scary stuff...

We are being lied to and manipulated by a bunch of violent Zionist extremists who are indirectly in control of our governments and directly in control of the media.

Excerpted from "The Other Side of Deception" by Victor Ostrovsky

Even as early as May 1, 1986 was the Mossad working on building up Saddam Hussein as a great threat to the world. The main reason for this was the threat his giant armies posed to Israel after the Iran-Iraq war which had previously occupied him. This is the REAL reason we bombed Iraq. The story of this Jewish action is of greater complexity, since it spanned a greater length of time - in which the American public was successively propagandized through a wide variety of sources.

The Mossad's psychological warfare machine activated every agent it had, including volunteer agents in Amnesty international and fully bought members of the U.S. congress to portray Saddam Hussein as a great threat to the world. Grisly footage of the Mossad-financed Kurds who were killed, casualties of the ongoing guerrilla war with Bagdad, were shown on Jewish run U.S. television.

An Iraqi explosives factory was blown up by Mossad operatives to generate publicity about the gigantic and powerful military arsenal that Saddam was bulding. And after the explosion, when the Iraqis invited journalists to see how their rebuilding efforts were going, a Mossad agent approached a former agent, who had been caught prying into Mossad affairs in search of a story, to join the reporters going to Iraq to gather information on the factory - threatening to reveal his criminal background if he didn't participate in the action. This former agent was caught spying in Iraq, arrested, and hanged. We were led by our press to believe that he was a 'Western journalist'.

To further exascerbate the situation, a Mossad sayanim sent documents to ABC television with a story from a 'reliable' Middle Eastern source telling of a plant Saddam had for the manufacturing of uranium - to suggest that he was developing nuclear capability.

Through the bullet-riddled body of Gerald Bull, the eyes of the world would be made to focus on his work: the Iraqi giant gun project called Babylon. The timing had to be right, though; Bull's well-publicized demise had to come right after an act of terror by the regime in Baghdad, an act that could not be mistaken for an accident or a provocation. The hanging of the Observer 'reporter' on March 15 was such an act."

In the following weeks, more and more 'discoveries' were made regarding the big gun and other elements of the Saddam war machine. The Mossad had all but saturated the intelligence field with information regarding the evil intentions of 'Saddam the Terrible', banking on the fact that before long, he'd have enough rope to hang himself.... The Mossad leaders know that if they could make Saddam appear bad enough and a threat to the Gulf oil supply, of which he'd been the protector up to that point, then the United States and its allies would not let him get away with anything, but would take measures that would all but eliminate his army and his weapons potential, especially if they were led to believe that this might just be their last chance before he went nuclear."

"Where would Israel be had he lived?"

Where indeed, Yitzhak Rabin was a Great man and a true Hero of Israel (if not the whole world!) he was assasinated by the same bunch of zionist NUTTERS who are currently bringing the world to the edge of this abyss. Rabin was prepared to "do" things not just "say" things to bring about peace and he was killed for it. The current Israeli Labour party has brought great dishonour upon itself by not following through with Rabin's vision. In my opinion the Nobel committee should set a precedent and withdraw the award they gave to Shimon Peres. I'm SURE Alfred Nobel would approve!

A sad nostalgia for better times marked the memorial ceremonies held yesterday for Yitzhak Rabin, assassinated seven years ago in an attempt to abort the political path he pursued. Hundreds of invited guests and dignitaries crowded around the gravesite of Yitzhak and Leah Rabin on Mount Herzl in Jerusalem.

The daughter of the slain prime minister, Dalia Rabin, did not mince words in speaking for the Rabin family at the graveside ceremony. She lashed out against the leaders who did nothing to stifle the campaign of incitement waged against her father by those who branded him a traitor to the Zionist cause. She also criticized the leadership of the Labor Party for failing to find the courage to continue the work that cost her father his life. Instead of fighting to defend his path, they failed to withstand the deluge and took cover, she charged.

Foreign Minister Shimon Peres and Defense Minister Benjamin Ben-Eliezer, both close partners with the late prime minister, sat expressionless while listening to his daughter's scathing indictment. Since the establishment of the national unity government last January, Peres and Ben-Eliezer have become full partners in pursuing the political path led by Prime Minister Ariel Sharon.

Czechs retract terror link

Not that I really believed in this alleged link anyway, it's nice to know that the claim has been retracted.

Czech intelligence officials have knocked down one of the few clear links between al Qaida terrorists and the Iraqi regime of Saddam Hussein, UPI has learned.

Senior Czech intelligence officials have told their American counterparts that they now have "no confidence" in their earlier report of direct meetings in Prague between Mohammed Atta, leader of the Sept. 11 hijackers and an Iraqi diplomat stationed in Prague who has since been expelled for "activities inconsistent with his diplomatic status."

"Quite simply, we think the source for this story may have invented the meeting that he reported. We can find no corroborative evidence for the meeting and the source has real credibility problems " a high-ranking source close to Czech intelligence told UPI Sunday.

Orwellian Anti-Semitism

I bet you George Orwell would be shocked to realise what the world has become, he wrote 1984 as a warning to us all - one we seem to have forgotten...

George Orwell understood the power of words, and he understood the power of ideology to utterly corrupt their meaning.

He identified tyranny with expressions such as "war is peace" or "ignorance is strength." But absolute government is not necessary to experience the corrupted language of power and the abuses it hides. A nasty democratic minority, supported by a population choked with fear or prejudice, or a ruling majority full of hate or bad intentions is perfectly capable of producing them.

We literally see this happening before our eyes, both in the United States and in Israel.

Mr. Bush calls Mr. Sharon a man of peace. Mr. Sharon rockets and bulldozes his way through the West Bank and Gaza, murders suspects, arrests the families of suspects, threatens to deport whole families guilty of no crime, and calls his dirty work a fight against terrorism. North American defenders of his brutality call any conscientious person questioning these actions an "anti-Semite."

It is impossible to understand how bulldozing homes of "suspects" and the idea of rounding up their families for deportation reflect anything but the most elemental hatred and vengeance. And just so, the many assassinations of "suspects," along with the countless violent arrests that include no trials, no proof offered, just outright public murder and improper arrests.

I don't think it's possible to imagine what Britain would have unleashed had she followed the same policies in Northern Ireland. American public opinion would have exploded had she done so. It was Americans, after all, who largely financed the IRA's guns and bombs.

Jetliner Crash Reveals Israel's Weapons Plan

Israel’s huge arsenal of weapons of mass destruction—not Iraq’s—poses the most serious threat to peace in the Middle East and endangers global health.

While the controlled U.S. press re mains fixated on Iraq’s alleged weapons of mass destruction, it ignores the grave danger of the more sophisticated and lethal arsenal of weapons of mass destruction being developed and stored in Israel—with the support of the U.S.

Ten years ago, on Oct. 4, 1992, an Israeli cargo jet carrying three of the four components of the nerve gas Sarin, as well as other hazardous materials, crashed into an apartment building in Holland.

The known facts of the crash of El Al Flight 1862, the worst air disaster in Dutch history, reveal that Holland’s government engaged in a “huge cover-up” and lied to its citizens to help conceal Israel’s unlawful chemical weapons arsenal and the international network that supports it.

Christendom Goes Zionist

"Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword." - Matthew 26:52

The above quote is from Jesus of Nazareth, the founder of the Christian faith. He preached a message of peace, love and nonviolence and his early disciples followed this model. However, somewhere along the way, things changed. The Crusades and the Holocaust are two extreme examples of where war was carried out in the name of Christ.

Currently we find ourselves faced with another religious war that pits Christians against Muslims. President Bush has stated that the so-called War on Terrorism is a "crusade" of good versus evil. By implication, Christians and Jews are good and Muslims are evil. This is not to minimize Islam's role in making war; however, Jerry Falwell called the Islamic faith violent without examining the militant tendencies in his own religion.

Forgiving for a moment the fact that Christian fundamentalists and militant Zionists have declared war on Islam, does this represent a newfound cooperation between Christians and Jews? Hardly. The Evangelical Christians who are lobbying for Israel believe that the state of Israel is fulfillment of prophecy, as do the Zionists; however, the Evangelicals believe that God's army will kill two-thirds of the Jews and the remaining will be converted. Gershem Gorenberg told "60 Minutes" recently, "If you listen to the drama they're describing, essentially it's a five act play in which the Jews disappear in the fourth act." He also stated, "As a Jew, I can't feel very comfortable with the affections of somebody who looks forward to that scenario."

West overestimates al-Qaida's reach

"They seek him here, they seek him there. Those Frenchies seek him everywhere. Is he in heaven, or is he in hell? That damned elusive Pimpernel."

Osama bin Laden has become the modern version, the evil twin, of the Scarlet Pimpernel, Baroness Orczy's rescuer of French aristocrats from the guillotine. Lately, not a bomb explodes without it being blamed on bin Laden's al-Qaida organization. In recent weeks, Washington has accused al-Qaida of an attack on a French tanker, the killing of a U.S. Marine in Kuwait and the frightful bombing of a Bali discotheque.

Given these alarms, one would imagine al-Qaida to be a vast, octopoid organization whose tentacles span five continents. But this view, heavily promoted by the Bush administration and the U.S. media, is as wrong as George Bush's claim that terrorists are "on the run."

4. Pour in some half-baked ideas about dominating and ruling the world.

5. Stir vigorously until thoroughly mixed up.

6. Keep the mixture at a steady boiling point over a constant, pseudo- patriotic flame of fear-mongering, and what have you cooked up?

An American Down Under

Several aspects of the recent Bali atrocity deeply disturb and for more than the high casualties of friends and family members we (collectively) lost, and also for more than the obvious connection to Bush's agenda through its timely event. At the top of my list is the Australian mainstream media's reporting of the bombings and immediate use of key 'Bush-buzz-words' designed to plant in the mind through power of suggestion that those responsible for the bombings were conveniently one-and-the-same as those needed as scapegoats by the Bush Administration. Instantly, as if orchestrated by the same group who scripted the 9-11 reporting moments after the first attack in New York, and without one single shred of evidence as to what even caused the explosion at the Sari night club, the terms 'MUSLIMS', 'TERRORIST', 'AL-QAEDA' and links to HUSSEIN were being thrown into our faces over and over.

As if the terrorist attacks are some kind of F***ing game with nations keeping score the Aussie Channel Nine news compared the Australian death toll in Bali to the September 11 attacks pointing out that, per capita, Australia suffered more losses. The Monday after the Bali bombing Prime Minister John Howard attempted to ã9-11ä the tragedy by creating his own 'day of infamy' slogan saying: "For the rest of Australian history, 12 October 2002 will be counted as a day on which evil struck." But while the Oz government and mainstream media appear to be fully 'Americanized' in their thought and tactics they aren't fooling the Aussie people. Talking to folks on the street I found that while the Aussies hurt deeply for their own who were killed in Bali they look at the tragedy as a human tragedy and hurt and pray equally for all 20 + other countries who lost citizens and loved ones. One mother at our childrenâs school almost hit the nail on the head when she commented that these terrorist attacks would not have occurred if the United States president was not such a bully wanting to go to war with everyone. Her friend replied very correctly that "it seems whenever one of those Bushes are in charge over there the US goes to war with someone."

Latest Bali Update...

There are only so many lies that people will believe, yet again, our hopelessly incomptent security services failed to pull their fingers out of their arses in time to stop loads of people dying. They are either complete and utter fuckwits (possible but unlikely) or they are up to something far more nefarious than even the most cynical of conspiracy theorists could possibly imagine.

US, Britain knew Bali bomb risk weeks ago
The United States and Britain have admitted they knew Bali was a possible terrorist target weeks before last Sunday's bombings, yet an upgraded travel notice late last month told New Zealanders that Bali was safe. Australia's spy agencies claim they had no prior intelligence about last weekend's bombing in Bali, Prime Minister John Howard said after touring the bomb site in Kuta yesterday. But UK officials, who had earlier spoken of "no specific threat picked up in relation to Bali that weekend", told the Guardian newspaper yesterday that a number of specific target areas had been identified, including six places in Indonesia, one of them Bali.

Among Indonesians, a conspiracy theory has been gaining popular currency -one that puts the blame for the Bali attack on the United States. Suggestions of US involvement also have appeared in the commentaries of major Indonesian newspapers and the idea has been debated on television and radio talk shows. Meanwhile, there is a growing controversy in Washington, London, and Canberra over whether more could have been done to prevent the Bali attack -or at least give travelers more of a warning about the threat of terrorist attacks against resorts like Bali.

Australians blame Bali deaths on their government's alliance with US
Relatives had barely begun mourning the victims of the Bali bombings when the Australian government found itself faced with growing criticism.

Next in the line of fire were the intelligence services, which appear to have deliberately buried warnings of a possible terrorist attack on Bali.

By Way of Deception

An excerpt from Victor's book, it's hard to get but well worth trying to find it. This is the information that the Mossad hopes you never learn. It's very believable and very very frightening, it will change the way you look at the world, trust me.

Confessions of an Ex-Mossad Agent

Needless to say, the Israeli Lobby has demanded (and gotten) a total ban on this book in all major bookstore chains, while pro-Israeli experts have trashed it at every opportunity. Ostrovsky's book is available only online at places like Amazon

Revealing the facts as I know them from my vantage point of four years spent inside the Mossad was by no means an easy task.

Coming from an ardent Zionist background, I had been taught that the state of Israel was incapable of misconduct. That we were the David in the unending struggle against the ever-growing Goliath. That there was no one out there to protect us but ourselves - a feeling reinforced by the Holocaust survivors who lived among us.

We, the new generation of Israelites, the resurrected nation on its own land after more than two thousand years of exile, were entrusted with the fate of the nation as a whole.

The commanders of our army were called champions, not generals. Our leaders were captains at the helm of a great ship. I was elated when I was chosen and granted the privilege to join what I considered to be the elite team of the Mossad.

But it was the twisted ideals and self-centered pragmatism that I encountered inside the Mossad, coupled with this so-called team's greed, lust, and total lack of respect for human life, that motivated me to tell this story.

It is out of love for Israel as a free and just country that I am laying my life on the line by so doing, facing up to those who took it upon themselves to turn the Zionist dream into the present-day nightmare.

Emerging Global Controls for the Enslavement of Humanity

Here's what it's really all about people WWI, WWII, WTC, Bali; they are all about control pure and simple; control by them of us.

Welcome to the Desert of the Real!

At present, the economic elite enjoy autonomous control over their own specific countries, and continue to get richer from foreign industrialization. So while the standard of living for the already disadvantaged bottom 90 percent within Western nations continues to drop, the super rich are using their profits to buy up an even greater percentage of real assets both at home and in the developing nations.

Morally speaking, the socioeconomic leveling effects of locating industries into 2nd and 3rd World countries could be looked on as a positive global development, if it were not for one important fact.

The western elite who hire these people intend to pay them as little as possible, for as long as possible.

They can get away with paying them as little as possible because the workers are generally speaking unorganized and already impoverished by their own elite. The elite hope to get away with cheap labor as long as possible by introducing the same type of political, economic, and media controls in the 2nd and 3rd World countries, as have already been refined in the West. Unless this is done, 2nd and 3rd World workers may become as difficult to exploit as workers now are in the West. Worse yet, they may demand nationalization of the foreign owned industrialization just as the various Arab countries had pressured for nationalization of their oil interests.

The process of forming an integrated global Feudal empire began in earnest with the formation of the Trilateral Commission. It is worth mentioning once again that since its inception, the Trilateral Commission has funded numerous studies which deal with key aspects of controlling whole populations. Since the TC infiltrated the White House, it has collected a frighteningly comprehensive pool of knowledge, all of which will be used to establish the new global order.

Washington is a Sacrifice-Free Zone

And here we have the crux of the matter, just as in World War 1 we have a bunch of arrogant politicians, so self-assured in their technological supremacy that they are willing to send their country-people to war. A war that has ONLY dubious motives and a war that no-one except the international bankers will win. And to make it worse they're a bunch of cowards as well. I can't see Tony sending either of his two sons off to war.

When is the world going to realise that these people are self-serving wankers who will quite happily send all of your sons and daughters off to die, whilst their vile off-spring enjoy a comfortable life by the swimming pool. These people are fakes and liars and they will lead humanity to it's greatest conflagration yet! They are manipulating us.

Let us pause on the eve of war to reflect on who the Americans are who will die. In any war, nearly all of the fighting and nearly all of the dying are done by the youngest soldiers who hold the lowest rank. Of the 58,152 Americans killed in the Vietnam War, three out of four were between the ages of 17 and 22, and three out of four were under the rank of staff sergeant -- corporals and privates.

Today, there are 1,182,412 enlisted men and women on active duty in the United States military. It is from their ranks that the vast majority of all American combat casualties in the next war will come. If you need further proof of the complete separation of the people in power in Washington from the people at peril in the Persian Gulf, just consider this: Not one of the 435 members of the U.S. House of Representatives has a son or a daughter on active duty in the enlisted ranks of this nation's military.

Sgt. Brooks Johnson of the Army's 101st Airborne (187th Infantry), who has already served in Afghanistan and before that in Kosovo, Bosnia, Korea and Germany, is the only American enlisted man now on active duty who is the son of a member of Congress. His father is the incumbent senator from South Dakota, Democrat Tim Johnson.

A wise and just manpower policy is the foundation of our national defense. The all-volunteer army, it was agreed by its supporters, was to be a peacetime service. Any major military engagement was to be the signal for resumption of the military draft. The argument was straightforward: If the stated goals of the nation were worth fighting and dying for, then we must not hesitate to ask all Americans to shoulder the duty and the risk of that fighting.

That is most certainly not the case today in proudly "classless" America. In 2002, the American Establishment -- political, economic and journalistic -- has no personal stake in the men and women who defend the United States.

Bali / Australia / Terror

This man is the conscience which the World seems to be lacking at the moment, we should listen carefully to what he has to say. On a side note, it's interesting how he's appearing more and more in the mainstream press. Maybe people are finally starting to listen to him properly, we can but hope.

by John Pilger

For 40 years, Australian governments have colluded with state terrorism in Indonesia. Now, the Bali outrage allows John Howard to distract attention from his hypocrisy

The Australian prime minister, John Howard, says the atrocity on the island of Bali is "proof" that "the war against terrorism must go on with unrelenting vigour and with an unconditional commitment". What he means is that he will continue to perform his holier-than-Blair role as George W Bush's most devoted, if not universally recognised, foreign gang member. The Australian military is, in effect, an extension of the Pentagon.

Australian ships operate with the American fleet in the Gulf, enforcing an embargo against Iraq which, according to the United Nations Children's Fund, has led to the unnecessary deaths of more than 600,000 Iraqi children. In Indonesia, Australians, together with their American counterparts, have secretly resumed training the Indonesian military, which, in the world cup of terrorism, is the undisputed champion.

Kilimanjaro's Glaciers Almost All Melted

Trust me when I tell you that there are few sights on this earth that can compare to Mount Kilimanjaro, there is a magic to it and indeed Africa itself which one can't easily describe to someone who hasn't seen it - if you've seen it you'll understand what I'm talking about. The snow capped crest rising out of the hot dry savannah is one of the things that makes it so amazing. Thanks very much Mr. Bush, Mr. Exxon and Mr. BP, you're taking away the only snow in Africa now. No, global warming really isn't a problem, is it Mr. Bush?? What part of our precious Earth will you destroy next, you WANKERS!

Kilimanjaro's already skimpy glaciers are melting so quickly that they will be gone by 2020, U.S. researchers reported on Thursday.

The researchers, who are racing to glean information from the unique glaciers on Africa's highest peak before they are completely gone, also said they had found evidence of three catastrophic droughts 8,300, 5,200 and 4,000 years ago.

They also determined that the glaciers began to form on top of the mountain, which rises from the savannas of Tanzania, 11,700 years ago.

"We found that the summit of the ice fields has lowered by at least 17 meters (nearly 56 feet) since 1962," Ohio State University professor Lonnie Thompson, who led the study, said in a statement.

A Message From Hell

by Victor Ostrovsky

Occasionally an article appears that is so disturbing in nature that one wants to cry out to the world in anger and frustration, "stop!" The Tel Aviv daily Ha'aretz carried just such an article, by Aviv Lavi, on Dec. 23.

For the most part Ha'aretz translates its articles-or somewhat sanitized versions-into English and makes them available on its Web site at www.haaretz.co.il/english. But others, like the one described below, remain untranslated for reasons that will become obvious.

It is the story of Haim Peretz, a seemingly ordinary Israeli who grew up in the small town of Ofakim-not a place overflowing with left-wing activists. Nevertheless, in clearing him for obligatory military service, Israeli officials overlooked a character flaw. This ordinary young man from an ordinary town had, unnoticed by the authorities, developed a conscience. It apparently went unnoticed while Haim Peretz spent almost three years working on F-16 aircraft as an Israeli air force technician. However, with only two weeks left to complete his three years of obligatory service, this first sergeant with a clean record was sent for a two-week stint as a security guard at the holding facility at the Erez crossing between Israel and the Gaza Strip...

** snipped by ewar - link to full article at the bottom of this post **

After Haim went public he was harassed and regarded by many of his friends as a traitor. The military said it would look into his revelations and an official investigation was promised. The commander of the facility was removed from office.

It must be remembered, however, that there are many more facilities like this one in Israel, and there are many prisoners who are simply unaccounted for.
