POPSObama's Foreign Policy Goes Neocon--Unjust Wars Will Continue
The real Obama policy. Must see video interview (at link) where Obama 1) legitimizes the "war on terrorism" (as necessary and true war); 2) escalate war in Afghanistan (regime change, like Iraq continues); 3) willing to attack targets inside Pakistan--i.e. invade any sovereign country to kill and destroy alleged 'terrorists' (think collateral damage on civilians or wrongly accused from missiles and UAV drones). Watch the interview, Obama does not answer one "why?" question of Lara Logan about the "necessity" of the "war on terrorism", he simply dodges and assumes its legitimacy without reason or debate. UNJUST WAR is the problem here. Where is the protest? The "war on terrorism" is not a true or legal constitutional war, and enabling Obama to do the same as Bush without criticism is hypocritical and partisan blindness. It has always been the goal to finish Iraq and legitimize and spread the war on terrorism. Note the media: War = Patriotism

POPSAnother Terrorist Kangaroo Trial With alot at Stake So the government caught bin Laden's driver, we are told to believe, but yet they lost bin Laden? Right! It's all a lie and another show trial for a fictitious account to justify a fake war for regime changes. It is not only Mr Hamdan's future that will be determined by the trial. There is great concern among members of the Bush administration that they too could find themselves before foreign or international courts for the role they played in facilitating and encouraging the torture of detainees. The infamous "torture memos" circulated by Vice-President Dick Cheney's chief of staff, Charles Addington, and two former administration figures, Douglas Feith and Alberto Gonzales, covertly approved the abuse of prisoners by the CIA. These men were publicly warned recently by Lawrence Wilkerson, chief of staff to Colin Powell when Mr Powell was Secretary of State, to "never travel outside the US

POPSSudan Would Be Obama's Iraq; Elitest Foreign Policy Conclusions can be drawn from Obama's elitest foreign policy advisory team, comprised from Hillary and Bill Clinton's own. While condemning Bush's Iraq war, Obama will lead military interventionism into Africa, most likely, if you consider his top adviser's position, who has his ear like the neocons had Bush's ear. Africa will be the place for "regime change" under Obama, to fold it into the plan for world democracy which is driven by the elite. Susan Rice is Obama's Paul Wolfowitz. Dems and Repubs are both military interventionists. Obama like Hillary and McCain is a member of the CFR , the elites pushing global government. Hardly a sharp "change" is it, in direction? See the plan for AFRICOM , for which Obama is most suited to "sell" as needed, as part of the global elite's puzzle.

POPSBush, Mukasey, Cheney Claim Exec Privilege, Obstructing in Plame Case But the Executive has no "privilege" to violate the law, nor to obstruct justice. And Cheney, by his own words, is not part of the "executive branch". Mukasey, the new AG replacing Alberto (Speedy) Gonzales, shows why he was chosen by Bush, i.e. to continue to obstruct justice. As even republican federal prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald said on the Plame case, "a cloud hangs over the VP office", and Scott McClellan just opened up and published his account that Bush personally admitted authorizing the Plame leak! This is stonewalling to avoid prosecution for a "high crime" worthy of impeachment by George and Dick both.

POPSUS to House Diplomats in Iran, Oil Prices Drop This is the real reason oil prices dropped sharply today, when this news broke overseas, 5 hours ahead of US time. NBC Nightly News tonight had it right (video here) in interview with economist who said oil prices have included an "Iran premium" due to war rhetoric from US and Israel. Immediately the price fell when it looks like diplomacy might open up a bit.

POPSU.S. Terrorism Watch Tops 1 Million This over-the-top dragnet has included people like Sen. Kennedy, Kat Stevens, and recently a former federal prosecutor! 50,000 individuals are included on the Transportation Security Administration "no-fly" or "selectee" lists that subject them to travel bans, arrest or additional screening. The Justice Department's former top criminal prosecutor says the government's terror watch list likely has caused thousands of innocent Americans to be questioned, searched or otherwise hassled. Former Assistant Attorney General Jim Robinson would know: he's one of them. More than 30,000 airline passengers had asked the Homeland Security Department to clear their names from the list as of October 2006.

POPSIran to Israel: "Go Ahead, Make My Day" Attack our facilities and war starts. US Admiral (a stand-in Liar who replaced the resisting and valiant Admiral Fallon, who called Gen Petreus a "chickensh*t" for kissing up to Bush) then lies saying Iran will attack Israel...while Iran has attacked no other country in over 200 years while Israel and the US have attacked many. Listen to this Democracy Now podcast with Seymour Hersh (NY Times) about how Israel cannot attack Iran without US involvement (i.e. American troops on the ground necessary for such operation, dying for Israeli aggression).

POPSBush War Policy, Oil Prices Chart Must see this oil price chart and pass it on! This article documents and graphically demonstrates the obvious that no one is saying, i.e the wars and war-mongering of Bush government are the main cause of high gas prices.

POPSState Dept. Helps Oil Companies Get Iraq Contracts spoils of war. When it says State dept, think Condi Rice, who was an executive for Chevron. An administration uniquely stacked at the top with former oil executives (Bush had his own company with a bin Laden) was surely to get this done. We will see if this makes any difference in oil prices in the US, but of course this could never justify the war which is responsible also for the same high oil prices.

POPSU.S. Covert Operations Against Iran Increasing the war already started. Geopolitical news that will lead to higher oil prices in trading. Note this open statement here in even the MSM: U.S. Special Operations Forces have been conducting crossborder operations from southern Iraq since last year Now how would the US or any country react if foreigners were invading your country and committing covert acts of espionage and proxy warfare by stealth? You would consider it an act of war, wouldn't you? This is proof of how much the US is doing to provoke Iran into war, and how much restraint Iran has actually had.

This would force the next President's hand is their strategy, to control US foreign and war policy. subtitle: US ambassador speaks for Israel.

POPSUS General Accuses Bush Admin of War Crimes 2-Star Army General indicts about Abu Ghraib that the White House "authorized" it: the Commander-in-Chief and those under him authorized a systematic regime of torture. Alot of things have come down on the Bush administration in the last month, i.e. McClellan's book, Bugliosi's book, now this.

POPSBush Wants Bin Laden "Dead or Alive"--Again! Right! Too bad he already died in Dec. 2001, which is why Bush suddenly lost interest ("I'm really not that concerned about one man"), and the CIA closed down its Bin Laden unit. Scenario: use UK Special Ops and UAV drones and fire a missile at a "safe house" near the Paki border, then claim to have killed Bin Laden--great propaganda! Especially if done before Sept. 11, 2008. It's all a lie, and Bush knows it, which is why he has been caught contradicting himself many times. Or, just ask the neocon contractors like SITE, let them track the websites of the "bin Laden videos" that keeping popping up before elections! Surely they could find the source of those videos, if they wanted. The FBI does not list 9/11 on Bin Laden's wanted poster, and they say "there is no hard evidence connecting bin Laden to 9/11".

POPSPope Mesmerizes Bush Toward Catholicism, Religion of Tyrants
Not surprising considering his religious superstition, theological ignorance, and false Christian views of war (contrary to Christian principles of "Just Wars" of self defense alone) and worship of democracy as a means of saving the world through military Crusades. He would fit right in with tyrants of Holy Roman Empires of the past. The Tower of St. John impressed him--Rome mesmerizes its ignorant victims through superstition, priest-craft, and relics and symbols, without which it is essentially empty. By the way, this is not to let pagans escape, for some of them were also among the greatest tyrants of imperial wars as well--i.e. Alexander the Great (who was a bisexual pedophile), Caligula, Nero, Pharaohs of Egypt and Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon to name a few. Babylon the Great is typified in the Bible as a final world empire that will be destroyed, headed by a false Christian leader, whom the Reformers believed were Roman Popes but would also fit false Christian presidents

POPSPowerful:Democracy Now Interview of McClellan--podcast Must-hear interview. The Bush administration cannot deny the claims from this insider. It is also interesting to hear the questions put to him by some good reporters in the run up to Iraq that the MSM decided not to let us hear! Hard evidence for wrong doing in the administration and he is about to testify before the Judiciary committee on the CIA leak of Plame, by Rove, Libby, and likely orchestrated by Cheney. Also how the White House Iraq Group used the NY Times as their primary propaganda conduit, including Judith Miller. Great podcast (have to listen to other news first before interview).

POPSGLOBE: White House Cocaine Scandal--Bush Uses as President? Bush is a user as President! The cover story of Globe now. Remember when he "fell" while watching a football game and "choking on a pretzel" on a Sunday after 9/11 and had a big bruise near his eye? It was also published he has had fits of paranoia, and other reports said he saw ghosts coming out of the walls at the White House. Bush found the White House a "creepy place," Mr. Draper writes. After exercising in a White House gym one evening, Mr. Bush told a friend he froze in his steps while approaching the Lincoln Bedroom. Mr. Bush insists "he saw ghosts -- coming out of the wall," according to a friend. This is typical of tyrants and madmen in history--Caligula, Nero, Nebuchadnezzer, etc..

POPSMcClellan to Testify before House on CIA Leak More hard evidence surely for Kucinich's impeachment resolution against Bush, for the President to authorize the leak of a CIA agent (which is McClellans published record in his new book) is considered a high crime, no misdemeanor.

POPSImpeachment Against Bush Introduced the Senate Intelligence report recently lends solid ground (see previous Clipmark): Article 1 - Creating a secret propaganda campaign to manufacture a false case for war against Iraq." Go to the Raw Story article to view the video of its introduction by Kucinich. Sad state of affairs, when a Congressman has to fight his own party Speaker to get the House to order and serious-mindedness about upholding the laws of the land!

POPSSenate Panel Rebukes Bush/Cheney on Iraq War Propaganda Powerful statement and true: the administration repeatedly presented intelligence as fact when in reality it was unsubstantiated, contradicted, or even nonexistent But note this: The report amounts to the most direct rebuke to date of the Bush administration's use of intelligence to build support for the Iraq war. But the document, which catalogs hundreds of statements by administration officials, stops short of calling for any further inquiry or punishment. Is not this grounds for impeachment--misleading a nation, and Congress, to go to war? What! All this misleading and lying, but no accountability?

POPSThe Wolf is Back; Neocons Control "Security" Policy The return of Wolfowitz to Bush government was missed by many. Dated December article, but very important. When you see "Security" think "war planning" instead. The pairing of he and James Woolsey (both of the infamous Project for a New American Century) in the same panel is an indication of "fixing the intelligence around the policy" to go to war again.

POPSBuchanan:"Bush is Woodrow Wilson on Steroids" Largely defends McClellan showing that the Iraq war was based on propaganda and a cover for a war for democracy, Wilsonian in justification. Good analysis by Pat Buchanan who as a former press secretary is most qualified to review it. (He does jab McClellan a bit at beginning, but then justifies him). See video interview with MSNBC embedded at site.

POPSDefense Dept Cannot Account for Billions, They Say Gov't playing shell game with taxpayer money. Any CEO or any business financial officer would be fired. Only the federal government gets away with this. They are obfuscating investigations on fraud by these lame excuses. Bush is responsible and has direct authority over them via Secretary of Defense and Budget Office, and Bush used to run a corporation. There is no fiscal responsibility in the federal government, and the Defense Dept operates like a rogue regime, because it is.

POPSBugliosi's Legal Case Against George W. Bush, Conspiracy and Fraud about Iraq War This Charles Manson prosecutor has outlined his legal case against George W. Bush for conspiracy, fraud, lying to falsify intelligence, and murder (the consequence) surrounding the case to go to war against Iraq. HE IS ABSOLUTELY SERIOUS, AND WANTS TO PROSECUTE HIM. Vincent Bugliosi received his law degree in 1964. In his career at the L.A. County District Attorney's office, he successfully prosecuted 105 out of 106 felony jury trials, including 21 murder convictions without a single loss. His most famous trial, the Charles Manson case, became the basis of his classic, Helter Skelter, the biggest selling true-crime book in publishing history. The Prosecution of George W. Bush For Murder is available May 27. For more information visit www.prosecutionofbush.com

POPSWH Denies Army Radio Report of Attack on Iran Per the Jerusalem Post, which unlike the Haartz is more tilted toward the Likud party propaganda (Richard Perle is on its board). The context was when Bush met with Olmert of Israel recently in private. "All options are on the table" leaves it wide open. The increased presence of US Naval forces recently send to the region is either provocative gaming or contingency staging to open a new theatre.

POPSBush Defends Saudi Friends on Oil Output In this article he paints their decline to increase oil output as an increase, and increase which was prior to his visit. This was a politically motivated visit and photo-op for a forgone conclusion. Bush's own experience with his own Arbusto oil company--with a bin Laden for a partner--means that he understood in advance that his visit would make no difference. Calling on increasing refinery capacity when the oil companies have deliberately reduced theirs to increase efficiency and profits, as well as pretending that an increase in domestic production would bring down price, is hypocritical and inaccurate. Presently refineries profits are declining. The decline of the dollar and war-fears on the trading market has led to the increase in price per barrel.

POPSOil Refineries Profits Declining, Refinery Capacity Sufficient The oil companies have reduced the number of refineries of their own free will, and this article proves that there is no shortage of refinery capacity, since U.S. consumption is now falling. It is not a supply and demand problem. Oil prices are inflated due to weak dollar and war fears, period, end of argument. Bush had to make a show of seeing the Saudi King, a pretense of asking for them to supply more. Bush's relations with the Saudis is strong and Bush knows the oil business since he has Arbusto Oil company (with one of the bin Laden brothers). He knew the answer before he went but it was necessary to blame OPEC and prove that Bush himself was not at fault. But he is responsible for the war, and war debts, which have brought you the high oil prices on the trading market, and to your local pump.

POPSBehind the Propaganda to Help Burma Victims Exposes the real agenda and reasons for the U.S. and UN to force their way into Burma, as if only they can provide help, not just their neighboring countries they trust. Big article worth reading, this clip only introduces subject. The Bush administration is no more motivated by humanitarian concerns in Burma than it is in Iraq or Afghanistan.

POPSU.S. Ship Shoots at Iranian, Oil Price Leaps The real reason behind gas at 3.69/gallon vs. 1.25/gallon when Bush entered office. It's not supply and demand, nor OPEC squeezing us. It's neocon war-mongering in the Middle East which makes the future's traders bid up the price of oil based upon "war fears" alone! Instead we hear nonsense on talk radio that "OPEC is mostly our enemies in the Middle East" (Saudis are best friends with Bush's and D.C., and U.A.E. is as well), that our limiting supply. Not true, not true at all. Iraq is producing below historical levels, not because of OPEC, but because the U.S. invaded it.

POPSJudge Rejects "State Secrets" Claim, Orders Watch Lists Open ...so that "free Americans" are not abused by Homeland Tyranny, arbitrary search and seizures when crossing borders. American citizens cannot be treated like criminals and terrorists without a "warrant, issued upon probable cause", and Dept. of HS must disclose Watch List status to those it treats otherwise. This could be a huge legal precedent to restore the norm of Constitutional restraints on government, with further applications than this.

POPSBush Talks of Another 9/11, Points to Pakistan Assigning blame to a particular country in advance is not only suspicious, but it suggests that a new war theatre is about to open. Ironically, the Pakistani ISI wired $100,000 to Mohammad Attah (one of the key patsies used for 9/11 blame, without evidence) just prior to 9/11. Who wants to wager if another "catalyzing event, like a new Pearl Harbor" will happen before Bush leaves office and before the November elections? It would be too convenient, and benefit only the neocon war agenda. "Motive, means, opportunity" are the key considerations for determining who is behind an event. Israel and the neocons would benefit most and have more means and opportunity, and the ability to cast blame through well placed propagandists into the MSM--just as they benefited most from 9/11, to execute their blueprint for a "new middle east" via "regime change".
