NASA - Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter is on its way to the Moon to help pave the way for humans to "return" there. The $600 million plan outlined on Monday represents an early milestone in the strategy outlined by President Bush two years ago to send astronauts back to the Moon to prepare for the eventual human exploration of Mars. NASA plan is to impact the bottom of the shadowed crater with the satellite's spent upper-stage Centaur rocket, more than 5,000 pounds of dead weight careening in at 5,600 mph. LRO is two in one spacecraft. The two spacecrafts should reach the moon in four to five days — or by early next week. One will enter into an orbit around the moon for a mapping mission. The other will swing past the Moon and go into an elongated orbit around Earth that will put it on course to crash into a crater at the Moon's south pole in October. Impact (or dust cloud) should be visible from Earth. The plume of ejected material — more than 350 tons of soil and rock — should rise as high as six miles. NASA expects the dramatic Moon-impacting part of the mission to be "a smashing success." It's a quest to determine whether frozen water is buried in one of the permanently shadowed craters. "The attack on the Moon is not a declaration of war or act of wanton vandalism. Space scientists want to see if any water ice or vapour is revealed in the cloud of debris." What a stupid idea! More garbage in space, this time on a Moon. Well, Americans are not the only ones, Japanese have also crashed on the Moon. Quoting: "Andrews had no budget for an expensive lander to seek water, and conditions in the eternally dark polar craters would kill rovers, with temperatures close to minus 300 F. Instead, Blue Ice and its partners at Northrop Grumman came up with a concept to bring the lunar floor out in the open.... Since engineering precision hardware would break the budget, the LCROSS team had to make existing components work together." Yeah! It is a time of freaking Global Crisis. This is one low-cost, lightning-fast mission with a blast! American style, baby!

A "furious" President Obama has ordered a review of the decision to fly a Boeing 747 frighteningly close to the lower Manhattan skyline. On Tuesday, Obama told reporters, "It was a mistake. It was something we found out about along with all of you. And it will not happen again." The Federal Aviation Administration said the aircraft, which functions as Air Force One when the president is aboard, was taking part in a classified, government-sanctioned photo shoot...

The flyover has caused panic across Manhattan NY. Witnesses reported seeing the plane circle over the Upper New York Bay near the Statue of Liberty before flying up the Hudson River. The YouTube video shows dozens of people standing in a parking lot, watching the plane approach. As it nears, they begin to run. Someone unleashes an expletive. "Run, run!" says one person. "Oh my God," cries another. "There was no warning. It looked like the plane was about to come into us," she said. "I'm a therapist, and I actually had a panic attack." A 911 call released by the Hudson County Sheriff's Department in New Jersey shows the panic caused by the plane. "There's a plane falling, there is a big aircraft falling like 9/11!" OOOH, like 9/11? Poor souls, boohoo...It's just a plane, stupid. You don't see people running and shit their pants from seeing an airplane over their heads, in let's say... Serbia, and they were bombed to stoneage by Americans, some years ago.Subscribe in a reader

In 2005 President Clinton saw a need to establish Clinton Global Initiative (CGI). CGI reflects his belief that governments need collaboration from the private sector, non-governmental organizations, media and other global leaders to effectively confront the world’s most pressing problems and promote "good government in new democracies". CGI membership is a year-round activity tailored to the needs of today's world leaders. The CGI membership fee is $20,000 per calendar year. Amanpour was a member alongside with Gordon Brown (Prime Minister of the United Kingdom) , Shimon Peres (President of Israel), Barrack Obama (44th President of United States), Jens Stoltenberg (Prime Minister of Norway), Warren Buffett, Rupert Murdoch, Michael Bloomberg, Robert Zoellick (President of The World Bank Group), Hillary Clinton, Richard Holbrooke, Javier Solana (High Representative for the Common Foreign and Security Policy of the European Union), Martti Ahtisaari, George Soros and others... The Global Initiative's annual meeting, however, displayed a list of sponsors that included "purely charitable outfits" such as the Rockefeller Foundation, Bill Gates, but also Pfizer, a major player in the heavily regulated pharmaceutical industry. Talk about "independent journalism". Now, back to Christiane Amanpour. In 1998, Christiane married former US Assistant Secretary of State James Rubin. The couple met in 1997 in Bosnia, where Ms. Amanpour was on assignment and Mr. Rubin was traveling with Secretary of State Madeleine K. Albright. Many find it unusual that Amanpour, raised in Islamic Iran, married a man of the Jewish faith tradition. In 2007 she was given one of Britain’s top honours by Queen Elizabeth. For her reporting from the Balkans, Amanpour received a News and Documentary Emmy, two George Foster Peabody Awards, two George Polk Awards, a Courage in Journalism Award, a Worldfest-Houston International Film Festival Gold Award and the Livingston Award for Young Journalists. Remember, at the time of NATO aggression on Serbia, James Rubin was the spokesman of the State Department. Her story represents all that one needs to know about the world, reduced, packaged, and delivered. To them (western media), the KLA is one day a drug smuggling operation, the next - an army of liberation. The media often generate the very events that they describe. They add an impetus, import momenta, dictate trajectory, nudge leaders and determines consequences. They are an active partner rather than a disinterested by-stander. As such, they share the matrix of responsibility with politicians and army generals. Christiane is not the first among her colleagues, she is much more than that - their symbol. She was simply "chosen" to do the dirty work. Her first important journalistic mission was in 1990. Two years later, she is in the Bosnia and on the road to world glory... Who is, in fact, Christiane Amanpour? She was a child od several cultures. Shortly after her birth in London, her father Mohammad, an Iranian airline executive and her British mother Patricia, moved the family to Tehran. The Amanpours led a privileged life under the government of the Shah of Iran. She returned to England in 1969 and her family fled from Iran during the Islamic Revolution. From age 11, attended two Roman Catholic all-girls' schools in Great Britain. Graduated Summa Cum Laude from University of Rhode Island in 1983 with a BA in Journalism. She was a roomie with JFK Jr. After graduation, she endured numerous network rejections because she lacked "the right look."

"I arrived at CNN with a suitcase, with my bicycle and with about 100 dollars."

She was transferred to Eastern Europe in 1986, during the fall of Communism. Her emotional delivery from Sarajevo during the Siege of Sarajevo led some viewers and critics to question her professional objectivity, claiming that many of her reports were unjustified and in favour towards the Bosnian Muslims, to which she replied,
"There are some situations one simply cannot be neutral about, because when you are neutral you are an accomplice. Objectivity doesn't mean treating all sides equally. It means giving each side a hearing."

She was sitting in Belgrade when that Markale marketplace massacre happened, and she went on the air to say that the Serbs had probably done it. There was no way she could have known that. She was assuming an omniscience which no journalist has. As it happened in the Markale case, later investigation indicated Serbs could not have perpetrated this particular attack. The fact that a UN classified report concluded that Bosnian Muslim forces had committed the Markale marketplace massacre seems of no consequence to Ms. Amanpour. Christiane Amanpour has yet to inform her viewers of this fact, but continues to allow them to believe the massacre was a Serbian atrocity...She stepped unabashedly out of her role as a reporter when she publicly challenged President Bill Clinton in May 1994 to take action in response to Serbian actions in Bosnia.

" When our world leaders wanted to shrug away and call it a terrible civil war for which all sides were equally guilty, we said, "No." Genocide against Muslims in Europe was being committed and this had to be stopped." (April 29, 2006).

She was CNN's top war correspondent in Iraq and by doing so, failed to aggressively question the motives behind the invasion. Why doesn't she "scream bloody murder" about US crimes in Middle East or elsewhere around the globe? A review of her reporting over the years in Bosnia, Iraq, Israel and the Palestinian territories suggests the hollowness of such lofty claims and underscores her preference for advocacy journalism in which she pushes her own personal definitions of fairness and truth, instead of presenting information objectively. Amanpour’s self-ascribed moral authority is reflected in other aspects of her work. She even fashions herself an expert on international law where it suits her story. Is Amanpour ignorant or a liar? If she's ignorant, she should be fired. Not for this singular untruth, but for the entire enterprise which leaks lies and distortions at every frame. If she's a liar, well, she should be fired... Honestly, calling this, um—thing—journalism would be like calling McDonald's burger organic food. There should be war crimes tribunal for fake journalism that leads to military intervention.

Where is Christiane Amanpour, there is no truth, and thus can not even be in danger.Subscribe in a reader

Kim Jong-il has formally named his third son, Kim Jong-un, as his successor as he prepares to stand down as North Korea's leader. Analysts said North Korea's nuclear bomb test last week, and the firing of several short-range missiles, could be designed to create a personality cult around its new leader. The first mention of Kim Jong-il's third, and favourite, son(25), came in the memoirs of a Japanese sushi chef Fujimoto, who claims he became a drinking companion of North Korea's "Dear Leader". Fujimoto, said he is indeed "a spitting image of his father in terms of face, body shape and personality". The younger Kim is thought to have studied at the International School of Berne in Guemligen, Switzerland, under a pseudonym before returning to a military academy in Pyongyang. There are varying reports that he can speak German, French and English. He has also been reported as overweight and diabetic. His oldest son, 37-year-old Kim Jong-nam, might have taken over from him, but has never been able to recover from being caught in 2001 trying to sneak into Disneyland in Tokyo. Although there were rumours of a reconciliation, he has also been spotted in Macau. Meanwhile a train carrying an intercontinental ballistic missile has been detected by South Korean intelligence travelling to Musudan-ri, a key North Korean launch pad. US officials confirmed that North Korea is moving a new missile, but cautioned that Pyongyang might be engaging in deception to win further bargaining points. The US Defence department has said it is capable of intercepting North Korean missiles. The rogue state also does not have the technology to mount a nuclear warhead onto the Taepodong 2. America has agreed to sell "bunker-buster" bombs to South Korea capable of destroying underground facilities in North Korea... Totalitarian regimes close to demise are apt to get panicky and do rash things. The weaker North Korea gets, the more dangerous it becomes. These brainwashed Asians “will stand and fight.” American soldiers in Korea refer to the fighting on the peninsula between 1950 and 1953 as “the first Korean War.” The implicit assumption is that there will be a second.In any case scenario, poor people of North Korea should not be punished. In The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), nursery school is followed by four years of primary and six years of secondary school. After that, everyone joins the army for 13 years. North Korea has the fifth-largest army in the world, at an estimated 1.21 million armed personnel, with about 20% of men aged 17–54 in the regular armed forces. In every district pylons fitted with loudspeakers broadcast party orders and martial music. Public executions are common thing. Media brainwashed the population so that the only Communist ruling dinasty, can stay in power. Kim Jong Il’s succession was aided by the link that his father had established in the North Korean mind between the Kim Family Regime and the Choson Dynasty, which ruled the Korean peninsula for 500 years, starting in the late fourteenth century. People are dying from famine while military prepares to launch ICBMs. Large-scale international food aid deliveries have allowed the people of North Korea to escape widespread starvation since famine threatened in 1995, but the population continues to suffer from prolonged malnutrition and poor living conditions. China and South Korea remain the largest donors of food aid to North Korea. People there desperately need help but not by carpet-bombing like in Iraq...

In the middle of the Pacific Ocean lies a floating garbage patch twice the size of France. A place where the water is filled with six times as much plastic as plankton. This plastic-plankton soup is entering the food chain and heading for your dinner table. Continents of garbage in the oceans are killing marine life and releasing poisons that enter the human food chain. This eighth continent is known as "The Great Pacific Garbage Patch." As suggested by the name, the island is almost entirely comprises human-made trash. It currently weighs approximately 3.5 million tons with a concentration of 3.34 million pieces of garbage per square kilometer, 80 per cent of which is plastic. The cause for the Patch's relative lack of acknowledgment is that the portion of the Pacific it occupies is almost entirely unvisited. It lacks the wind to attract sailing vessels, the biology to encourage fishing, and is not in the path of major shipping lanes...Subscribe in a reader

Vlada moćnika iz senke koja de facto upravlja svetom više nije tako tajna. Pre samo deset godina, ova najveća teorija zavere u istoriji čovečanstva bi zvučala kao bajka a njeni zagovornici kao kandidati za ludnicu. Danas međutim, zatvaranje očiju pred ovom istinom je krajnje opasno. Ostavimo po strani kako je sve to počelo, zanemarimo vitezove templare, iluminate i slobodne masone i sagledajmo našu realnost. Kapitalizam je evoluirao u nezasito čudovište koje preti da uništi svet kakav danas poznajemo i uspostavi nova pravila igre, novi svetski poredak koji znači ozbiljnu pretnju osnovnim ljudskim pravima i slobodama svakog pojedinca. Ova zver je toliko moćna da se više ne boji da izađe na svetlo dana i pitanje je da li je moguće boriti se protiv nje i sprečiti neizbežno. Ne radi se ni o kakvom fantastičnom, mitskom stvorenju, već o "običnim" ljudima koji su jednostavno, toliko bogati i moćni da mogu da kroje svetsku politiku i ekonomiju po svom nahođenju. Kreiraju istoriju po deset, pedeset, sto godina unapred a krajnji cilj je naravno apsolutna moć i porobljavanje čitave planete. Početak XXI veka je početak njihove vladavine i objava rata čovečanstvu. Rat protiv terorizma, svetska ekonomska kriza, globalne pandemije su proizvod njihove bolesne mašte sproveden u delo. Zaboravite Ujedinjene Nacije, Američke predseničke izbore, nacionalne granice, iza svega stoji elita svetskih moćnika koja ne drži konferencije za štampu i čije se slike ne pojavljuju u dnevnim novinama. Njihov cilj je jedna svetska vlada, jedna banka, jedna valuta, jedna armija i ista pravila za sve, totalna kontrola svakog pojedinca, svakog bankovnog računa, svačije sudbine...

Slomom Sovjetskog Saveza i bipolarnog sistema, otvoren je put hegemoniji sile i ukidanju svih sloboda upravo u ime slobode i demokratije. Ne govorim samo o Sjedinjenim Američkim Državama, ovo je mnogo veće. Svet je u haosu ali je ovaj haos unapred osmišljen i pod kontrolom. Naučni napredak čovečanstva se pretvorio u svoju suprotnost i omogućio tehnološko porobljavanje i ispiranje mozgova. Jedino internet još uvek ne mogu sasvim da kontrolišu ali rade na tome ( Internet 2) i mogu da izoluju i love one koji postanu preglasni. Svet se ne kreće u pravcu globalne zajednice nezavisnih država već u pravcu globalne diktature. Pristupanje ovakvom obliku Unije (danas je to Evropska Unija, sutra Američka Unija, Azijska Unija, Afrička Unija i najzad Unija svih Unija) sa jasno definisanim zakonima, slobodama, pravima ali i obevazama, pravilima ponašanja... znači gubitak nezavisnosti. Ako pak niste deo ove globalne zajednice, onda ste deo problema i kao takvima, preti vam uništenje (nebitno da li ste država ili pojedinac). Reforma je počela i sada je očigledna, nije više skrivena, nema više strpljenja.


Globalna Ekonomska Kriza


Cilj sadašnje, veštački stvorene, globalne ekonomske krize jeste višestruk a glavni je reforma ekonomskog poretka, bankarskog sistema i apsolutna kontrola nad istim. Jedan od ciljeva je bio i da se uspori i zaustavi privredni i ekonomski rast Azijskih džinova. Stvar je vrlo prosta. Osmislite problem za koji unapred imate rešenje koje ide samo vama u korist, napravite haos a zatim se pojavljujete kao spasilac. Cilj ekonomske krize nije da potpuno osiromaši i uništi potrošača, već da uvede nova pravila koja će biti obavezna za sve, da veliki igrači zbrišu konkurenciju odnosno da ih kupe, da se siromašne države prezaduže kod MMF-a kako bi izbegle bankrot (i uvedu u dužničko ropstvo) i da se izvrši delimična nacionalizacija svih važnijih kompanija. Da, to je ta osveta Karla Marksa. Ima nešto u teoriji komunizma što se sviđa i kapitalistima. Kriza neće biti dugog veka, trajaće još godinu, dve a zatim sledi "oporavak" i nova pravila igre. Nova pravila podrazumevaju da više neće postojati ekskluzivno pravo pojedinih država nad prirodnim resursima na svojoj teritoriji. Globalizacija znači da su svi resursi na planeti "zajednički", to vam je nešto kao oduzimanje prasadi i kukuruza od seljaka posle drugog svetskog rata zbog višeg cilja.


Smanjenje Svetske Populacije


Ta tajna elita je odlučila da na planeti Zemlji ima previše ljudi i da svoj plan ne mogu sprovesti na prenatrpanoj planeti. Rešenje: smanjiti broj stanovništva za najmanje 50% u sledećih dvadeset godina. Neke procene pokazuju da je optimalan broj stanovnika oko 1 milijarde. Kako se rešiti viška? Jedno od rešenja je naravno rat, koji prati glad i izumiranje prirodnim putem a tu su naravno i bolesti, kuge stvorene u laboratoriji. Kako se vrši selekcija, ko će preživeti? Samo onaj ko može da priušti sebi čarobni lek, stvoren u toj istoj laboratoriji kao protivotrov. Kome treba beskorisno, siromašno stanovništvo? Ono će da strada a ima ga i previše... Danas je to mutant grip, sutra će to biti neka mnogo groznija boleština. Iza ptičjeg gripa iz 1976 je stajao niko drugi do Donald Ramsfeld koji se na leku(Tamiflu) i obogatio. Trebao im je rat pa su ga izmislili. Slučajno se front "rata protiv terorizma" poklapa sa trasom naftnog cevovoda na Bliskom i Dalekom Istoku. Izmislili su arhineprijatelja, čobana iz pećine koga je nemoguće uhvatiti i rat protiv njega koji ne poznaje granice i nema kraja. Trebao im je dovoljno jak povod da ga opravdaju. Napad na najmoćniju svetsku silu koji ne može proći nekažnjeno. Oni su ih stvorili (Al Kaidu), obučili i naoružali. To su sve lako proverljive činjenice. Čelične konstrukcije koje padaju od udara putničkih aviona kao kule od karata, čak i kad nisu direktno pogođene. Znači, izmislite rat, uništite zemlju i narod, sagradite vojne baze koje čuvaju naftovod, pošaljete lekare bez granica i "humanitarce" da lekovima i hranom sumnjivog porekla dotuku izbeglice. Nafta će biti interesantna još četrdesetak godina dok ne presuše izvori, do tada se patenti za vozila koje pokreće hidrogen čuvaju zaključani u nečijoj fioci. Kada unište atmosferu prećiće na zelenu tehnologiju iz fioka i opet izvući profit.


Ispiranje Mozgova


Štampa je odavno dobro kontrolisana a svaka vest filtrirana i osmišljena da proizvede odgovarajuću reakciju. Među glasnogovornicima novog svetskog poretka prednjače medijski magnati kao što su CNN, CBS, Washington Post, the New York Times, Time Magazine bez kojih ova prevara ne bi bila moguća. Novi Svetski poredak ne bi bio moguć bez njenog najvažnijeg igrača Sjedinjenih Američkih Država i njene ekonomske, političke, vojne i tehnološke supremacije. Zato su svi predsednici sa svojim administracijama od Regana do Obame pažljivo birani i finansirani kao pioni svetske intelektualne i bankarske elite. Opšte je poznato da u Americi uspeh na izborima zavisi od finansijskih sredstava kojima raspolažete i podrške tzv superdelegata koje takođe kupujete. Od početka vladavine dinastije Bush-Clinton, postalo je nevažno da li je kandidat Demokrata ili Republikanac. Oni se smenjuju u zavisnosti od toga koja je stranka u datom trenutku popularnija. Na izborima pobeđuje kandidat sa najviše novca koga podrži vlada iz senke, dobro podmazan medijskom kampanjom. Gotovo svi kandidati su njihovi ljudi a glasanje na izborima predstavlja završni čin, ozvaničenje već poznatog ishoda. Naročito Američka populacija je godinama služila kao eksperimet i pokusni kunić u procesu ispiranja mozgova. Ona se drži u konstantnom strahu od terorizma, virusa, ekonomske nestabilnosti kako bi podržala slanje trupa na kraj sveta i agresiju na suverene nacije a sve u cilju očuvanja "Američkog načina života i slobode". Nisu Amerikanci glupi, oni su samo dezinformisani, svakodnevno bombardovani preko štampe i tv-a. "Amerika je slobodna, ostatak civilizacije živi u kamenom dobu." Ovaj dobro isprobani metod sada treba prodati ostatku sveta. Samo pogledajte univerzalne reklame za npr. prašak koje se emituju na tv-u. Pravljene su za debile ali ako ih gledate više puta dnevno, kada odete u supermarket kupićete "Ariel" zbog upornih mrlja na vašem belom... Kupovaćete stvari za koje niste ni sanjali da su vam potrebne a bez kojih sada ne možete živeti. Idete u banku da uzmete kredit, tamo su svi nasmejani, oni igraju i pevaju, dele novac sa vrata, uzmite još. Proizvod koji se pre par meseci reklamirao kao vrhunski, sada je sranje, izašao je novi. Na istom principu prodajete i rat, strah i globalnu krizu.

Monday 0954 local time (0054GMT) The US Geological Survey (USGS) had detected a magnitude 4.7 tremor in North Korea, indicating that a nuclear test may have taken place. The area is not seismically active.

"We have successfully conducted another nuclear test on May 25 as part of the republic's measures to strengthen its nuclear deterrent, the test would contribute to defending the sovereignty of the country and the nation and socialism and ensuring peace and security on the Korean Peninsula." the official KCNA news agency said.

Russia later said it believed the explosion from the test had a yield of 10-20 kilotonnes - about the same as the US bombs used against the Japanese cities of Nagasaki and Hiroshima at the end of World War Two.

Cut off from the outside world behind barricades of barbed wire, landmines and concrete tank-traps, the so-called "hermit kingdom" has come to rely for its very existence on maintaining a constant war footing. For more than 50 years, North Korea has been ready to go to war at a moment's notice. The country is under constant threat of invasion and outsiders are to be feared. Almost a third of North Korea's GDP is spent on the military. Meanwhile, aid agencies say, around a third of the country's population relies on food handouts to keep them from starvation. Through relentless propaganda and by enforcing a rigid isolation from the outside world, it is that tool that keeps them in power and their people on the brink of war. North Korea can't actually do anything at this point. It hasn't actually weaponised its nuclear material. Certainly it hasn't miniaturised it to the point where you can put a bomb on an airplane or – even more technically demanding – on top of a missile. Monday's test was designed to draw international attention and fortify "North Korea's claim to be the ninth nuclear power".

Decadency of a desperate dictator

Kim Jong Il is a movie fanatic, and is said to have a collection of over 20,000 films. In 1978, in order to advance the North Korean film industry, he ordered North Korean agents to abduct the famous South Korean movie director Shin Sang Ok and his ex-wife, actress Che Eun Hui, and kept them for eight years while making them produce propaganda films. During that time, the two became very well acquainted with Kim Jong Il, and after escaping in 1986, they wrote a book exposing his decadent lifestyle. He likes cognac, James Bond movies and foreign prostitutes. While ordinary North Koreans scraped the bark off trees to ease their pre-death suffering, the inner circle feasted on delicacies and consumed large amounts of expensive cognac, boons granted them directly and personally by Kim, sometimes at bacchanals featuring comely young women called to serve in multiple ways, and lasting for days. Kim considers himself the world's greatest golfer and an internet expert (so maybe he reads my blog). Why is he doing this (provocatively launching missiles and detonating nuclear devices)? Crazy motherfucker is desperate. Perhaps he is demonstrating to terrorist state customers that he has salable goods or perhaps he is seeking unilateral talks with the United States? Or perhaps he is just aid-seeking or even anticipating another deal like he got with Bill Clinton, in which the United States will supply billions of dollars in aid in return for promises he doesn't intend to honor. Domestic factors may have driven North Korea's reclusive leader to conduct a nuclear test. Some analysts see it as an attempt to spur nationalism among the masses, while others say it could be a sign of Kim Jong-il's internal weakness. Kim may well be running out of money to pay for booze, energy, and other necessities. If he can't provide the goodies to his inner circle, his hold on power is in direct jeopardy. Consider the basic nature of the North Korean state: it is a criminal enterprise. It is no secret that illegal drugs, counterfeiting, and illicit trade in weapons provided most of the foreign currency available to the regime. The fruits of these crimes were distributed quite carefully by Kim to those whose support he needed in order to hold onto power, mostly military figures. Just like Al Capone and the fiuctional Tony Soprano. Kim Jong-Il is just tired of being alone. His American buddies weren't calling anymore when Bush administration took control of the White House. He is like a spoiled brat looking for attention, the only problem is that this brat is playing with nukes... kim eats live fishSubscribe in a reader

As of end 2008, the war has been unsuccessful in its primary purpose of capturing Osama bin Laden, while tensions have grown with regional ally Pakistan. U.S. policies in Afghanistan a decade and more ago in fact helped to create both Osama bin Laden and the fundamentalist Taliban regime that shelters him. Osama bin Laden was a CIA tactician. Al-Qaeda was not destroyed, the initial attack removed the Taliban from power, but Taliban forces have since regained strength. The countryside is devastated and is currently experiencing a severe drought, with 7.5 million people threatened with starvation. The death and destruction wrought by the U.S. bombing campaign-and the cut off of food aid deliveries it has caused-have already killed hundreds and produced thousands more refugees scrambling to escape into Pakistan. How many innocent civilians died? The real purpose of the invasion War is unwinnable for NATO and U.S. so why are they still here? Many of the thousands of U.S. troops in Afghanistan are positioned in what experts say are large, permanent bases. The dramatic build-up of an indefinite Western military presence in Afghanistan has unsettled some regional powers, including Russia. Russia views the large and indefinite military build-up as a potential threat because Afghanistan's geographical location is a very strategic one. It's very close to three main world basins of hydrocarbons: Persian Gulf, Caspian Sea, Central Asia. Other observers have also noted that through a stronger military presence in Afghanistan, the U.S. may be seeking to strengthen its own position in the region to counter increasingly warm relations among India, China and Russia. Along with its proximity to the vast Central Asian and Caspian Sea energy sources and being in the midsts of the regional powers of India, China, and Russia, Afghanistan also holds strategic significance given its border with Iran. This "War on Terror" isn't about terrorism. I don't think that it is a war on Islam either. It is about resources, money and power. It is about bloody pipelines spreading from Afghanistan to Europe.It is not about "enduring freedom", flowers or democracy. It is against humanity, against all of us. Don't forget the heroin business In 2000, the Taliban had issued a ban on opium production, which led to reductions in Pashtun Mafia opium production by as much as 90%. Soon after the 2001 U.S. led invasion of Afghanistan, however, opium production increased markedly. By 2005, Afghanistan had regained its position as the world’s #1 opium producer and was producing 90% of the world’s opium, most of which is processed into heroin and sold in Europe and Russia. Many suspected drug traffickers are now top officials in the Karzai government. "Afghan President" Hamid Karzai, the fashion queen aka Mr. Fashion, is portraited as responsible, Western-oriented leader who is symbolized by modern buildings sprouting up and new asphalt strips going off into the horizon. In fact he is a spineless, American butkissing, puppet "President" who cries for more and more invasion troops all the time. Hand-picked by the CIA, Karzai has never been more than "the mayor of Kabul," and his associates are highly corrupt, including his half-brother who has been accused of smuggling drugs in Kandahar.Subscribe in a reader
