Iran works full speed ahead to obtain nuclear weapons. The E.U. and U.S.A. are unable to discourage them in this process. Additionally, E.U. membership is blocked to Turkey by a number of factors but mostly France's and Germany's fear of the massive changes owing to Turkish immigration. Turkey, finding itself shut out of the E.U., proceeds to seek its own security strategy to balance out Iran's acquisition of the bomb. What does Greece do? It gets busy on nukes, either in secret or openly. At that point all hell breaks loose as Brussels cannot keep E.U. members in line. Already there are problems with the Bulgarians. Not even to mention the NATO problems. The cracks could get deeper if such a thing happens... oh wait, look here.

Looks like Turkey knows what's going on. Atom Bombs all around!

"The Warsaw signing followed the Czech Republic's April willingness to install "advanced tracking missile defense radar" by 2012. In both instances, Russia strongly objected, and on August 20 said it will "react (and) not only through diplomatic protests." Both former Warsaw Pact countries are now targets. The threat of nuclear war is heightened." - The Palestine Chronicle

It seems a mighty coincidence that these arrangements, which have been in the works for years now, have concluded so soon after Russia began kicking the ass of another former satellite-state, Georgia. In any case, the American government claims that the missile defence systems being set up in and around central Europe are to protect America from rogue threats, such as Iran. However, according to the above article, Iranian missiles can't reach Europe.  Washington rejected Russia's proposed Azerbaijan-based joint US-Russian anti-missile system - to intercept and destroy Iranian missiles on launch. We have to assume, therefore, that America is, in fact, targeting Russia, despite what government officials say to the contrary.

Russia is of course being villianised for it's consequent threats towards Poland, who it says will become a target if it goes ahead with it's agreements with the States. But I think it's easy to only see this situation from our side, the side of 'the good guys.'

If I was Russia right now, I'd be shitting myself. Of COURSE America is setting up these defense systems to target Russia.

I can't help but feel a little hard-done-by, as a European. We're essentially being sandwiched between two bullying, Imperialist super-powers who are throwing their weight around and slowly but surely pulling out the big guns.

Imagine the common scenario of a bitterly divorced couple, who are using the children to get back at one another. It's kind of like central Europe is the children, and Russia and the States are the parents.

Now, to take the scenario a step further, imagine the situation escalates to one of those reports that you occasionally get on the news where the father kills the children to spite the mother. Replace 'exhaust-gas with the child-locks on' with 'nuclear fall-out,' and there you have it.

Because we all know that if the shit hits the fan, central Europe's going to be the battle-zone, so to speak.

I also can't help but laugh at the irony of US foreign policy, which seems to deem every country not serving their interests to be not responsible enough to be 'allowed' nuclear arms, when we all know from history and our good friends Hiroshima and Nagasaki that "America + nukes = the deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians."

While it seems that neoconservaties view nuclear disarmament with inimical scorn, it would seem to me that when taken to it's logical extreme, and in fact, conclusion, a world without nuclear weapons would be a greater boon to global U.S. dominance than one with their existence. As the third most populous nation in the world who accounts for roughly half of the world's defense spending, the United States would be uniquely positioned to engage in as much neo-colonial hegemony and Cold War era blustering as the size of our military would allow. It's obvious that everyone understands the equalizing nature of a nuclear warhead, which is why we rightly spend so much time trying to figure out how to keep them away from failed states and terrorist organizations, so the question is: does the U.S. possess greater military dominance in a world with or without nuclear warheads? For the reasons I mentioned above, it follows that pursuing a world with no nuclear weapons at all would be more advantageous than pursuing a world with nuclear weapons, even if they are only held by the right parties.

UPDATE: A commenter points out that no on has been able to convince Russia, but I'd add a world with no nukes would be massively beneficial to Russia as well, again given their size and defense capabilities.

Inspired by this one clip, when I got home I decided to watch the whole thing on youtube. Although it's an 80s production, it still had a massive impact. I was horrified by it. The absolute panic of everyone trying to get to safety at the sound of a siren. It would be every person for themselves. The programme showed people trying to flee the cities before they were hit, but the government had closed the motorways to non-official traffic. So, the normal citizens couldn't get away easily. That's poor. I'm not a fan.

Then, when the nuclear bomb hits, what really struck me and the FP when she saw it in the clip, was some milk bottles melting. The fact they were there showed just how it was a normal day and how quickly it could go horribly wrong. When the bomb went off it showed what it would do to people in close proximity...in that they just melt into nothingness. And those near to it, who get terribly burnt and are in terrible pain. That was horrid. Then the effects of fallout. Awful. Even 13 years later, things were terrible. The government...or the powers that now were, forced the people who had survived to re-construct everything and try and re-build society. Which is fine, except they paid them with food and made them work even though they were terribly sick from the effects of the radiation. And those too sick to work didn't get as much food. Our society was reduced to nothing.

It may have only been a drama. But it got me thinking. For example, one of the points it threw up was how the NHS wouldn't be properly equipped to deal with such an event. The state of the hospitals a few days after the attack in Threads....well let's just say Florence Nightingale would have been appalled. It went completely back to how things were in, for example, the Crimean war. So if you lived through the attack, you wouldn't get the medical care you needed. There was not enough food, or rather there was at first, but it couldn't be distributed. No fuel. The fallout and debris stopped the sun's rays from coming through, meaning it was very cold and crops couldn't grow. This could all happen. Especially with tensions increasing with Russia right now. Although, I don't know whether God would allow us all to destroy the Earth and every single person with nuclear weapons. I think, if Britain was to come under nuclear attack (Heaven forbid), I'd rather die straight away than live in that sort of world.

Nice pleasant thought. It's was 80s BBC docudramas do for you. It really annoys me though, how it's the small minority of politcians who make all these decisions....and we will all have to suffer for it. For things, many don't even understand. I think, if they are that bothered about stuff, they should get together and just fight it out between themselves and leave me out of it. Thank you very much.

Urgent Action of the day

Georgia-Russia: It's a Classic Brzezinski Project!

And as if on cue, Dr. Brzezinski graces us with the following as observed by SPIEGEL ONLINE in its aptly titled (for Pentagon purposes) article “THE DANGEROUS NEIGHBOR - Vladimir Putin Takes on a Powerless West” on August 18, 2008: “American Caucasus strategist Zbigniew Brzezinski has drawn parallels to Stalin and Hitler, equating the Russian invasion of a neighboring country with the Soviet winter war of 1940, when Moscow sought to undermine the sovereignty of small, sovereign Finland.” The article is worth reading in juxtaposition to the analysis presented in this humble essay which deconstructs Brzezinski's criminal strategies in order to acquire a complete picture of how reality is being un-imaginatively re-spun worldwide in almost about the same terms as during the 1979-88 period during the deliberately provoked Soviet Intervention in Afghanistan. Brzezinski at that time had been peddling the same “outrage” to the Afghanis and to the world with the same overzealousness as we see today. As covered in the Time magazine article of February 18, 1980, titled “Selling the Carter Doctrine”, which quoted Brzezinski: '“You should know that the entire world is outraged,” he told a group of refugees at Sadda, urging them in effect to reclaim their land “because God is on your side.”' This Brzezinski performance was captured in a minute long news clip which has been archived on the web. This is what he says in 1980:

News voice Feb. 1980: “US National Security Advisor Brzezinski flew to Pakistan to set about rallying resistance. He wanted to arm the Mujahideen without revealing America's role. On the Afghan border near the Khayber Pass, he urged the Soldiers of God to redouble their efforts”

Brzezinski Feb. 1980: (addressing the Mujahideen) “We know of their deep belief in God, and we are confident that their struggle will succeed. That land over there, is yours, you'll go back to it one day, because your fight will prevail, and you'll have your homes and your mosques back again; because your cause is right; God is on your side!”

(clapping by the ordinary simple looking rural people who had been forced out of their humble homes in Afghanistan and living in refugee camps on the Pakistani side, now assembled to listen to Brzezinski and being knighted as the Mujahideen)

Later, after the Cold War was over, Brzezinski confessed that he had set up the USSR, the Afghanis, the “mujahideens”, and the entire world in order to “make the Soviets bleed, for as much, as long, as possible.” (Ibid.) It is instructive to quote Brzezinski's full cold-blooded confession here to jog the mainstream presses hazy memories as they once again peddle the thinly veiled “American Primacy and Its Geostrategic Imperatives”: >> Read More... | >> Read Update Part II... | >> Read about 'Balance of Terror' – the only antidote to the 'Unilateral Terror' of Hectoring Hegemons...

Response to “The real meaning of the South Ossetian war: Russia strikes back”

This is Project Humanbeingsfirst's response to: “The real meaning of the South Ossetian war: Russia strikes back”, Thursday, August 14, 2008.

Very good article. Thanks.

However, also consider another aspect: that this was a setup to get the Russians to do precisely what they did.

It is asinine for the Georgians to have attacked like this otherwise. As reported elsewhere, the Georgians have been fully armed and controlled by the US and Israel, with full intelligence available to them 24x7. The Georgian leadership is handpicked US-Israeli puppets. The fact that the Russians had anticipated the assault by Georgia and were already in formation close to the borders because of which they were able to retaliate so quickly, was known to the Americans. Thus why would the Americans goad/command the Georgians to attack when they could trivially predict this hard likely response by the Russians? Minimally, the Russian military mobilization at the border was a sure give-away! A Rand Corporation worth its salt plays out all war-game scenarios.

It is also worthwhile asking why would the Americans deliberately antagonize the Russians by ferrying Georgian soldiers from Iraq back to the Georgian frontlines so that they can contribute to Russian and Ossetian casualties? [That's quite a needless overt act of war directly by the United States against Russia – for what can an additional 2000 soldiers possibly accomplish against a modern Russian army which has a declared first-strike use of nuclear weapons as its well-publicized self-defense doctrine even in conventional precision warfare?] Lastly, in the attack by the Georgians, why would they concentrate on killing the Ossetian innocent civilians rather than take on/capture/disable things of military/civil significance if capturing the Ossetian capital and re-absorbing Ossetia into Georgia was the real goal?

The only forensic explanation which wholly and rationally explains this (mis)adventure by Georgia is that it was a trap set for the Russians to behave exactly as they did. The Georgians and Ossetians were just disposable canon fodder – like the Afghanis before them.

This operation has all the hallmarks of a Brzezinski proxy war on Russia leaving the Russians, once again, no choice but to intervene in Georgia, just like they had no choice as the former Soviet Union, in their intervention in Afghanistan three decades ago when Brzezinski started giving aid to the Mujahideen six months before the Soviet Union's intervention. All this is known history. Only its lessons seem to be forgotten all too quickly.

If this scenario is plausible, as it appears to be if one looks at it from the geostrategic perspective on the grand chessboard, then it begs the question why?

Why prompt this Russian Intervention in Georgia, and now?

Just watch the worldwide mainstream news to know in a minute why!

OBL and Al-Qaida need replacing – the mantra is now well worn and not going down really well. Thus the new boogie man has been crafted. This is the most apparent and visible empirical reason.

The invisible or not so apparent reason, which one only understands if one looks behind the scenes to the “forces that drive them”, in this case Zbigniew Brzezinski, the ruling interests are itching to dismember Russia. And this intervention is merely the step-1, using a similar ploy as the Afghan Trap, but with the difference that this time it is part of a destabilization campaign right on Russia's borders.

Additionally, keeping Russia busy on its flank while engaging Iran – if indeed Iran is actually engaged with the massive US armada now reportedly floating towards it – makes short term military sense.

All ducks are lined up in a row as far as Russia hater, [grandmaster] Zbigniew Brzezinski is concerned.

However, as noted by this scribe elsewhere:

While Zbigniew Brzezinski may have planned the “Grand Chessboard” in the West, his Eurasian targets of the great game actually invented chess. All four of the regions burgeoning powers, Iran, India, China, and Russia, are ancient civilizations far older than the Atlantic powers put together, and are also expert chess players in the very ethos of the richness of their civilizations. Many public parks in Iran for instance, are dotted with stone and wood carved chess tables where ordinary peoples gather daily under the shady trees to spar with each other, bringing their own chess pieces. Chess is not an acquired skill in Asia, nor is it of recent acquisition, as it is for the West! It is innate to the peoples. The Chinese classic “Art of War” is 2500 years old and still teaches the Rand Corporation how to play their great games!

Having said all that, your article lends an insightful backdrop perspective. I hope that the young Mr. Putin re-introduces the “balance of terror” from the present day “unilateral terror”! See: http://humanbeingsfirst.blogspot.com/2008/04/balanceof-terror-tounilateral-terror.html

Thank you.

A Response to “Massive US Naval Armada Heads For Iran”

Letter to Pakistani friends by Zahir Ebrahim

08-08-08

[Note: There is some question regarding the accuracy of the exact composition of the US Naval Armada in the cited article. From Project Humanbeingsfirst's perspective, it hardly matters what the names and numbers of the various mighty instruments of apocalyptic primacy used for destroying a defenseless nation are supposed to be! This response has not relied on such details from the article.]

This is Project Humanbeingsfirst's comment for the alarming article “Massive US Naval Armada Heads For Iran” submitted to its website today, August 08, 2008. Pakistan will not escape either and us Pakistanis need to “wakeup to this grotesque reality” as the nation chases down deftly cultivated red herrings. The timing is interesting - the world is kept busy with the Olympics along with China, Russia with their petty war in Georgia, and Pakistan with their petty “impeachment” facade of 'democracy' being implemented by the greatest plunderers in Pakistan's short pathetic history. Under these red herrings and distractions, who is paying attention? An “accidental Gulf of Tonkin” is the hair trigger in the waiting. But the way things stand with the pusillanimous world, even that may not be necessary. What can you do? Let your imagination and self-interests be the guide. I gave up on conscience being the guide a long time ago.

There is one solution. It is seeded in the following observation made in the above article:

“The Russians are great chess players and this game may not turn out so well for the neo-cons.”

Please see the following Press Releases from Project Humanbeingsfirst.org “Press Release Holocaust Redux – Heads-up Warning to the Jews June 30, 2008” and “Press Release The Only Solution to Avoid Total War May 15, 2008”

Begin Excerpt 1:

It is also entirely feasible that Iran has already covertly constructed such a mutual defense pact treaty with Russia (with tacit supply-line assuring economic treaties with China and India). In fact, only the existence of such, can actually explain Iran's irrational bravado in the face of the extreme danger facing their nation. Perhaps it is indeed a devilish setup to obliterate Tel Aviv by goading Israel and America into first ineffectively attacking Iran!

While Zbigniew Brzezinski may have planned the “Grand Chessboard” in the West, his Eurasian targets of the great game actually invented chess. All four of the regions burgeoning powers, Iran, India, China, and Russia, are ancient civilizations far older than the Atlantic powers put together, and are also expert chess players in the very ethos of the richness of their civilizations. Many public parks in Iran for instance, are dotted with stone and wood carved chess tables where ordinary peoples gather daily under the shady trees to spar with each other, bringing their own chess pieces. Chess is not an acquired skill in Asia, nor is it of recent acquisition, as it is for the West! It is innate to the peoples. The Chinese classic "Art of War" is 2500 years old and still teaches the Rand Corporation how to play their great games! The Israelis would be wise to not forget that, along with who has continually sheltered the Jewish peoples when the Atlantic Christians were persecuting them for two millennia. Even Uri Avnery, a self professed progressive Jewish leftist, and Zionist, was forced to admit it when he fairly noted in his famous 2006 essay "Muhammad's Sword" (also available here):

'Every honest Jew who knows the history of his people cannot but feel a deep sense of gratitude to Islam, which has protected the Jews for fifty generations, while the Christian world persecuted the Jews and tried many times "by the sword" to get them to abandon their faith.'

The Israeli Jews, the Zionists, and all their genuine exponents worldwide itching to bomb Iran, might reflect on this alternate "war game" scenario before their hubris takes them to their own suicide. Muslims are not the Jews enemies! Step back from the brink if you really are the true inheritors of Solomon's wisdom, and not merely impostors! For this may be the ultimate patsy setup by your own 2000 year old true nemesis!

End Excerpt 1

Begin Excerpt 2:

Rather than continually dismiss the tortuous aspirations for global domination as lunacy, or mis-guided, it would be prudent to treat them as devilishly real doctrines of conquest by a handful of the world's ruling elite partnering together in a twisted convolution of mutual interests – never to be underestimated for its destructive power upon the weak. Such an assessment, based on full spectrum comprehension of reality, permits the construction of the only effective self-defense by the weak. Why such a self-defense is not transpiring is a puzzle that defies explanation, as noted in “The Missing Link - Full Spectrum Deterrence”.

That deterrent solution-space, according to Project Humanbeingsfirst, is only in the forming of NATO-like Full Spectrum Alliances with an effective “Dr. Strangelove” type Samson Option that is publicly targeted at Israel and Western Europe as a declared self-defense nuclear doctrine, to construct the only viable and effective Deterrence: MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction)!

Only in the insanity of its “sublime irony”, wherein, in the immortal words of Winston Churchill, “safety [is] the sturdy child of terror and survival the twin brother of annihilation”, can there be any assured prospects of defeating the war-mongers before they hand the world a nuclear fait accompli.

End Excerpt 2

Please also see: “Heads-up warning to the American Peoples – Nuclear Attack on Iran appears imminent!”

Begin Excerpt 3:

Secondly, if there is reason for the United States to nuclear decimate any country or any peoples in purported 'self-defense', the American peoples must demand a ratification of the decision to go to war through a public referendum – let its great "populist democracy" speak directly in the modernity of the 21st century before it is called upon to make its sacrifices, before it is called upon to pay its taxes to fund the war, and before it is called upon to acquire innocent blood on its hands!

Even better, draw the soldiers, officers and war-technicians from the pool who vote for war! If they can vote yes to invade other nations and wantonly shatter the tabula rasa of a 'lesser humanity', then they must also first be willing to sign up for doing it themselves – instead of having a draft of economic conscription. Every 'yes' voting home in America must have at least one 'patriot' from the immediate family show up on the front-lines without exception – or their 'yes' vote is void!

A commonsensical and calculated demand such as this publicly made today, right now, to be adjudicated upon in Congressional public hearings and converted into law, is infinitely more sensible for assuring America's national security given the hundred+ year history of deception for "imperial mobilization" by this nation's Executive branch with willing complicity from its entire ruling elite from legislature to newsmedia – as evidenced from the fiction of USS Maine to the fiction of WMDs – and which today rings the entire globe with more than 700 of its military bases eagerly paid for by Congress year after year in the pretense of keeping an "American peace". FY 2009 budget is to cost the American tax payers $3.1 trillion! Both the Congress and the Executive effectively comprise the same pool of 'hectoring hegemons', with the Judiciary, not espousing the tradition of 'suo moto' action, preferring to remain silent on any and all matters projected as being related to foreign policy matters, politics, or executive privilege under times of 'war'!

Letter to BBC on “Pakistan's Nuclear Weapons Program and the plan by the US military to destroy it”

[August 16, 2008] To: BBC Radio 4 Document Series Subject: Mike Thomson's documentary in the“Uncovering Pakistan” season titled “USA and Pakistan in the 1970s” on “Pakistan's Nuclear Weapons Program and the plan by the US military to destroy it” being re-broadcast today. There are many omissions and inaccuracies in Mike Thomson's program on Pakistan's bomb. Apart from the fact that the attitude and tenor of the program reflected the “White mans burden” quite clearly – obviously as heard with only “non-white” ears – it lacked information on the shenanigans of the real sponsors of terror in the world regarding the removal of Z. A. Bhutto, and the Soviet Intervention in Afghanistan. To correct this in a followup program – please refer to the following three references: >> Read More...

A Call to ACT!

[July 01, 2008] To Dear ACTers of Conscience, I am convinced that additional writings (and readings) alone are now meaningless going forward. There needs to be ACTs to match. The reason for this conviction stems not just from the truism succinctly observed by Bertrand Russell “Many people would sooner die than think. In fact they do”, but also from the empirical evidence of the past 7 years where that bit of truism has been lent universal credence in spades even for those who do tend to think! Thus writing more wonderful prose and analysis while useful for self-catharsis, is plain meaningless for efficacy when all those who do read and write these things already well understand the overall problems – as noted in this excellent motivational essay by Les Visible where he observes: “We don't have guns. We don't have banks. We don't have storm-troopers and we don't have a powerful media. What we have is our convictions, our courage and our potential. We've done a lot of research and we've done a lot of talking and writing. What we have not done is taken the next step toward calculated revolution. A revolution always begins with ideas and ideals. These power the willing and cause the ranks to swell. Sometimes, often… the revolution becomes subverted and when the tables are turned the same people are still sitting there. This is simplistic but most of you have a grasp of the minutiae and some sense of history; real history.” >> Read More...

Response to 'Islam in America's public schools: Education or indoctrination?'

A Project Humanbeingsfirst commentary submitted to the San Francisco Chronicle in response to their oped of June 11, 2008, written by the Chronicle writer Ms. Cinnamon Stillwell, also of the Zionist Campus-Watch organization which specializes in “Monitoring Middle East Studies on Campus” as the thought-police guardian-angels of America. This organization is founded by the erstwhile Daniel Pipes, Director of the Middle East Forum, who reports himself as: “a columnist at the New York Sun and the Jerusalem Post. A former official in the U.S. Department of State, he has taught at the University of Chicago, Harvard University, and the U.S. Naval War College. Mr. Pipes is the author of fourteen books on the Middle East, Islam, and other political topics; He has published widely in leading magazines and newspapers and his writings have been translated into eighteen languages. Mr. Pipes frequently discusses current issues on television and radio. He was appointed by President Bush to the board of the U.S. Institute of Peace, has testified before many congressional committees, and has served on four presidential campaigns.” A previous Project Humanbeingsfirst's Open Letter to this world famous Middle East Scholar may be read here. A brief background study material is here. Project Humanbeingsfirst has an open invitation to Daniel Pipes – whenever the distinguished Middle East Scholar and terror expert on Islam is ready for a video interview with this lowly Muslim scribe on whose lofty religion and worthy heritage the Jewish scholar has acquired such formidable expertise.

Impeachment alone does not solve the problem!

Let the people not forget, amidst all this hoopla and excitement over the 35 Articles of Impeachment against George W. Bush, the two-term 43rd President of the mighty superpower United States of America, that: 1) A new set of monumental criminals are ready and waiting in the wings. 2) Who will re-instate the devastated tabula rasa of innocent nations? Who will bring sanity back to the lives of the barely living who have seen DU and Daisy Cutters rained down upon their loved ones? Who will pay them fair and just compensation for their cataclysmic loss, pain and suffering? And those today waiting in the wings have each indicated their desire to nuclear decimate Iran. Pakistan can't be too far behind judging from the continuous mantras of "loose nukes" and "terrorists" emanating at an accelerated pace from its mightiest think-tanks. 3) Therefore, unless you kill the DNA, this round of 'Roundup' is only going to temporarily do away with this crop of deadly blood-sucking weeds! >> Read More...

Scott McClellan: Confessionals and Legal Covers

[June 10, 2008] The newsrooms and chatrooms across the United States of America are awash with confessions of Mr. Scott McClellan on President George W. Bush's Iraq “imperial mobilization” under contrived pretexts to prosecute a pre-planned supremely criminal war of aggression and conquest. The Washington Post of May 28, 2008 on its front page summed the press coverage up: ' in a chapter titled “Selling the War,” he alleges that the administration repeatedly shaded the truth and that Bush “managed the crisis in a way that almost guaranteed that the use of force would become the only feasible option.” ' The most amazing thing observed however, is this bit of disingenuousness for one's own role in the commission of crimes against humanity: ' McClellan, once a staunch defender of the war from the podium, comes to a stark conclusion, writing, “What I do know is that war should only be waged when necessary, and the Iraq war was not necessary.” ' And overnight becoming the sensational darling of the proverbial dissent-space, the so called “leftists”, the “peoples of conscience”, those who proclaim to know “right from wrong” and “left from right”, the peace and justice activists, and the famed anti-war historians and scholars who habitually rail against the empire! >> Read More...

Open Letter to Palestinian Intellectuals

[June 08, 2008] You have some very good websites. Thank you for the stellar documentation work. It is certainly useful, and in a just and moral world, these narratives and documentations of the Nakba would make good evidence in a fair court room. Among these stellar websites which appear to carry authentic accounts include: palestineremembered.com, plands.org, al-awda.org, badil.org, alnakba.org, and many more narratives which can be found on this links page. The most significant and substantive work done in documentation of the Nakba, in the humble view of Project Humanbeingsfirst, is by Dr. Salman Abu Sitta of Palestine Land Society. His new book “The Return Journey, The way to return Home” – A Guide to the Depopulated And Present Palestine Towns And Villages and Holy Sites – is a masterpiece of factual compilation that would be hard to challenge in any fair and moral court of law on any planet. Except on Earth! In this world, and on this planet, where only power dictates and not its victims seeking redressal and justice, it is going to take a bit more than just documentation and narratives to get one's homes and lands back. As those given to even a modicum of reflection and empiricism well understand, among humanoids, power is only known to respect power – as “Hegemony is as old as mankind” – and justice in this system on such a vast national scale is only that which is administered by the victors to the vanquished.

That same day, Israel, the United States, and Iran, all denied rumors of the launching of full spectrum attack on Iran, as narrated by the Jerusalem Post “US, Israel, Iran all flatly deny attack rumor”. >> Read More... | >> Download Reclaiming Palestine 2008 Omnibus

Celebrating Israel's 60th Birthday

[May 15, 2008] On the festive and felicitous occasion of the 60th anniversary of Israel's existence which is being celebrated with much fanfare from Tel Aviv to Washington D.C., President George W. Bush along with his notable wife landed at Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion airport on May 14, 2008, to the warm greetings of Shimon Perez: “Welcome to the new Israel: Three thousand years old, and going on sixty”. President Bush effusively replied: “Our two nations both faced great challenges when they were founded. And our two nations have both relied on the same principles to help us succeed. We built strong democracies to protect the freedoms given to us by an Almighty God” >> Read More... | >> Read how Someone's Birthday is Another's Genocide... | >> Download Reclaiming Palestine 2008 Omnibus

Bible Burning in Zionistan

[May 20, 2008] It is known to be customary to celebrate independence day with much mirth, joyous merry-making, firecrackers, and bonfires. The “New Israel” which excitedly welcomed the fervent Evangelical Christian American President, George W. Bush Jr., and his fair lady, to its holy lands for three days of love-fest and merriment, the moment their guests departed, lit the brightest bonfires to continue on with its “Three thousand years old, and going on sixty” traditional celebrations of “protect[ing] the freedoms given to us by an Almighty God”, as reported today by the Tel Aviv based Hebrew language Daily, Maariv, the second largest in Israel. AP translated it for the rest of the world who haven't yet learned Hebrew: “Orthodox Jews set fire to hundreds of copies of the New Testament in the latest act of violence against Christian missionaries in the Holy Land. The books were dumped into a pile and set afire in a lot near a synagogue. The Israeli Maariv daily reported Tuesday that hundreds of Jewish religious school students took part in the book-burning. Israeli authorities and Orthodox Jews frown on missionary activity aimed at Jews”, >> Read More...

The Only Solution to Avoid Total War – Full Spectrum Alliances in ASIA

[May 15, 2008] The same act that General Colin Powell had performed before the UN in March 2003 while waving his PowerPoint slideshow of non-existent Iraqi WMDs, was also performed by General David Petraeus in April 2008 before the US Congress by holding up evidence of non-existent Iranian weapons in Iraq. “In a sharp reversal of its long-standing accusations against Iran arming militants in Iraq , the US military has made an unprecedented albeit quiet confession: the weapons they had recently found in Iraq were not made in Iran at all”, CASMII reported. >> Read More...

The 'what can I do for my country' bit!

“Good morning [America]. At this moment, somewhere in the world, terrorists are planning new attacks on our country. Their goal is to bring destruction to our shores that will make September the 11th pale by comparison.” (President of the United States, George W. Bush, Feb. 13, 2008)

What can possibly “pale” this anti-gravity exploding building “by comparison”?

Project Humanbeingsfirst would certainly like to assist the President of the United States in preventing any “new attacks on our country” and bringing any “destruction to our shores” whatsoever, whether or not it will “make September the 11th pale by comparison”! This must indeed be the duty of all men and women of uncommon courage, to rise-up to the age old challenge of “ask not what my country can do for me, but what I can do for my country.” >> Read More... | >> Download recipe for “what I can do for my country”... | >> Download recipe to make your soufflé rise...

Happy Birthday America 1776-2008

[July 04, 2008] A solemn greeting to any remaining conscionable peoples in America by way of response to their one remaining honest political spokesman! Thou hast talked too much – time to show-it!

So What's Right About America – Why do “they come to America”? A reminder to all the War–Mongering, “United We Stand”, Flag–Waving, Silently Spectating, old and new immigrant peoples of America rejoicing in the ruination of their nation today.

A Litmus Test of Integrity for America's Famous Talkers, Moralists, Pied Pipers, and their fawning followers that sufficiently separates the 'ubermenschen' from the 'lesser' peoples, for all times:

1) Can you say it publicly: “911 was an inside job”?

2) Can you say it publicly: “Al Qaida is a fabricated enemy to fight a perpetual World War IV”?

3) Can you say it publicly: “Israel is a terrorist State systematically killing Palestinians with the American Congress's eager financing, aiding and abetting”?

4) Can you say it publicly: “Israel is the war-mongering apartheid state in greater collusion with the American Hectoring Hegemons daily crying out for the United States to attack Iran, just as five years ago her ardent exponents 'cake-walked' America into 'Mission Accomplished' in Iraq”?

5) Can you remind the world how you voted on “Patriot ACT I” in September 2001 – the primal enabling blanket Authorization which effectively set the stage for the passing of all further draconian Executive Orders and oppressive Legislation to usher in the Police-State setup in your own lofty nation?

6) Can you kindly remind the world how you and your very moral Representative leaders in America voted on her very first Act of Aggression – the primal enabling blanket Authorization for launching the “supreme war crime” of “imperial mobilization” which now contains within itself “the accumulated evil of the whole” and the full culpability for “all the evil that follows” – when the courageous Congresswoman Barbara Lee in September–October 2001 alone exhibited a conscience in a room full of grown-ups, to loudly assert “NO” to America's “full spectrum” visitation of its “Algebra of Infinite Justice” upon the poor impoverished peoples of Afghanistan?

Dear American peoples – dump the pied pipers and traitors who wax lyrics with the minnows and swim with the sharks – and this litmus test is how you gentle giants can easily tell them apart!

Bring forth from amongst your good selves, new moral leaders and statesmen of a new generation, not habitual war-mongers and “reformed cats” who go for “Hajj after having eaten 900 mice.” Become a real ACTer today, one with teeth rather than perennially roaring toothlessly on the treadmill of zero efficacy.

Happy Birthday!!

So What's Right About America – why do “they come to America”?

[July 04, 2008] My favorite imperialist neo-con author – if it is possible to have one – Dinesh D'Souza, wrote a fabulous narrative in April 2002, in the aftermath of 911, to remind all of America's detractors “What's So Great About America” in order to sell the shocked world America's barbaric defense of its greatness from the “evil doers”. In the Preface to my famously un-published April 2003 narrative “Prisoners of the Cave – Deception Point 911 And Its Greatest Democratic Enablers”, I wrote:

“In this book unfortunately, I cannot dwell on the wonderful things about America as the more pressing task of preventing them from being lost through subjugation and domination of the rest of the less fortunate peoples on the planet, is at hand. See the eloquent expression of what many immigrants fleeing from the tyrannies of their own constricting societies in the poorer nations have generally found in America, in the book “What's so Great About America” by the eloquent Indian immigrant, Dinesh D'souza. Little further needs to be added about that topic here.”

In that Preface, I had carefully explained why ordinary peoples from the developing nations generally come to America when they might even have been crying “death to America” in their own countries. I had also separated the “inside” vs. “outside” experiences of America, and explained this bipolar personality of the superpower in terms of the human conditions that accompanied each “state” wherein, most people enjoying the “inside” experiences remained ignorant of the “outside” experiences, but not vice versa. Indeed, it's a “land of opportunity” within its borders for many, especially for those who are able to unquestioningly play within its often un-stated “boundary-conditions” as good citizens of empire dutifully pursuing their “American Dreams”. But it's also a multifaceted hydra of oppression and neo-colonialism outside of its borders for the rest of humanity living in the natural resources laden developing nations. Such grotesque reality-spaces at the far frontiers and beyond, characteristically suffer from obfuscation and neglect in the domestic discourses of any predatory empire. For, it is indeed veritably true that “Hegemony is as old as mankind”, and the art of selective story-telling and spin doctoring by its masters of discourse is among its best practices of conquest: >> Read More...

Thou hast talked too much – time to show-it!

[July 03, 2008] Dear readers of Ron Paul's “Something Big is Going On”

If these confessional words in this posting are really the respected Congressman Ron Paul's: “I have, for the past 35 years, expressed my grave concern for the future of America.”, then one would also have to rightfully ask WHAT has “expressed my grave concern” actually accomplished?

If I was a system designer and continually expressed only my "grave concern" for my company's lousy products, and furthermore, waxed platitudes on how wonderful other products are possible, and yet, never produced anything, never designed the system architecture, implementation plans, marketing plans, business plans, nor lined up the resources nor the organizational infrastructure to enable all such plans, if I didn't do any of that, merely waxed political poetry, I'd be without a job!

But a Congressional leader of 35 years, isn't bound by those rules and laws. Mere "expression" gets one a free pass, with a fawning crowd to boot. That's in fact, the job definition.

I am sorry - as one humbly belonging to the recipient civilization of the grand largess that the honorable Congressman now bemoans – America's frequent quest for its "liberty" makes little impact [except the loss of it for others]. >> Read More... | >> Read about ACTing strategically...
