POPSThe Truth About Afghanistan Every American Should Know The pre-9/11 plan to invade Afghanistan and the oil pipeline deal behind it, that neither McCain nor Obama will discuss as relevant. Again 9/11 was the pretext for both Iraq and Afghanistan regime change and arranged prior to that "catalyzing event". pre-911: Unocal lavished money and attention on Taliban, flew a senior delegation to Texas Now: Afghanistan just signed a major deal to launch a long-planned, 1680 km long pipeline project expected to cost $ 8 billion. "Mission accomplished". Note the role that Karzai played prior to his installment. Note also how Pakistan fits into this equation which has nothing to do with terrorism. But there are only two practical ways to get gas and oil out of land-locked Central Asia to the sea: through Iran, or through Afghanistan to Pakistan. For Washington, Iran is tabu. That leaves Pakistan, but to get there, the planned pipeline must cross western Afghanistan

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

POPSUS and Iran "Diplomacy" Starts--"Good Cop" Tactic But coercing Iran to stop its nuclear enrichment program is the goal. So earlier we saw "bad cop" war games and rhetoric by US and Israel, and now this multinational "diplomacy" will play "good cop", to force the will of the US and Israel on Iran. That is not diplomacy, and the shift is temporary, for the election season. The result (which might be a goal too) will be that the oil traders will sell and lower oil prices will come (as they already did on first news of this), and this game will probably be played between now and Nov. 5th (to help McCain), and then the war-mongering will start again, and possibly an attack by Israel ( per neocon John Bolton's clipmark earlier ) to force the next President's hand into the conflict. Bush does not change from his neocon advisers blueprint. This pragmatism is for political expediency and economic benefit for election season purposes.

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.

POPSOPEC Warns of Oil Prices if Iran is Attacked Prices on gas would likely more than double--again! The talk alone has been bad enough on oil prices. Iran will not attack anyone unless they are attacked first as their history proves. Americans will be economically destroyed if war with Iran is ignited since OPEC says it cannot make up Iran's production. Please, someone put a chain leash on the Israeli pit bull and lock up the present administration as well. The war talk over Iran has already sent gas prices up 20 cents this week.

POPSRussia Threatens Military Response to US Missile Deal The Bush regime has insanely reignited the Cold War that Reagan ended! If you were Russia (and read the neocon blueprints for global hegemony) you would see this US-Czech missile deal is clearly designed to circle the wagons around NATO against both Russia and Iran, which will force Russia and Iran to ally...which is a recipe for potential world war! Tell me how this is different than Kruschev setting up missiles in Cuba which sparked the Cuban Missile Crisis when JFK was president. Putin is right, "Provocatory" isn't it?

POPSAhmadinejad on War and Oil Prices The truth is that Ahmadinejad is right on several accounts here, and mainly that war-mongering propaganda is driving up oil prices and devaluing the dollar. He knows that US and Israel are trying to provoke war through propaganda and drills (and covert ops), and is laughing at the game being played while preparing to defend just in case. What he says further on gas and oil prices is interesting: Ahmadinejad said the high oil prices are the result of a weak dollar and a deliberate decision by the United States and some European countries to profit from high fuel taxes. In some European countries, 70 percent of the fuel cost goes to governments as tax, he said. "So it is very clear and obvious that the market does not have a role in raising prices. There are some others that are determining the oil price for the benefit of the few, very rich people of the world,"

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.

POPSIsrael and Oil Prices--"Geopolitical" Factors Ignored Israel threatens Iran, oil sets new record high. See the pattern? It happens every time they threaten, or the US does. All these articles show on google search and are dated June 2008, now oil prices are up to $140 per barrel. Yet no one is talking about war-mongering as a factor in high oil prices, even though Iran is the 4th largest exporter in the world. As some would say...Duh! It is not a supply issue. Repeating for the upteenth time, high gas prices are due to: 1. speculative trading 2. dollar devaluation 3. geopolitical issues (war, rumors of war, US war policy, Israel) 4. government debt, increased money supply, war spending. These all tie together and started oil's price surge when the Iraq war began, and not before. War policy drives oil up on the trade floor.

POPSMcCain's Image Campaign: "I Hate War" (You believe me don't you?) Soft, sentimental music plays with this message. Playing now on a TV near you, including in small states like West Virginia as well as those listed as "battle grounds". This is quite a contrast to his "Bom, bom, bom...bomb, bomb Iran" to the Beach Boys segment here. Will the real John McCain please stand up? Going into war with Iraq had nothing to do with "keeping the country I love safe", whatsoever, unless you still believe Iraq was behind 9/11 and possessed WMD. These are neoconservative wars planned in advance of 9/11 and James Woolsey and Bill Kristol (key neocon and PNAC members) are among his advisers, and his foreign policy is called "rogue state roll-back"--i.e. more wars for democracy!

POPSThe Health Effects of Special Weapons Fallout Largely about depleted uranium, which effects Vets as well as Iraqis, and the military knew in advance because of Gulf War I. Again, lack of any concern about innocent victims of an unjust war. The mentality of Americans in 2002 before the war was, "so what...they deserve it, nuke 'em, because they are terrorists". Jessica Lynch had that mentality about all Iraqis after her return, even though an Iraqi saved her life. Even after the war started the U.S. was fighting "terrorists" in Iraq, a totally untrue statement. Sick, it's just sick. For every US soldier that suffers from this, there are thousands of Iraqis. For a documentary on Gulf War illnesses and depleted uranium see here. Every Gulf war vet should see this.

POPSWest Virginia, Rogue State Formed Unlawfully It's West Virginia Day June 20th. The state was formed illegally by a minority insurrection 145 years ago. Beautiful state, but with an unlawfully formed government. This is lifted from West Virginia's own archives. History records the controversy. "there is no evidence that the majority of people within the counties which were to compose the new state had ever given its assent to its formation." Fruits of the Civil War, "Old Dominion" Virginia was ripped in half. Virginia has never officially recognized the rogue state of West Virginia in law. Lincoln himself called it merely "expeditious", not legal. Lincoln and Congress had no more authority to permit the state anymore than Bush could authorize West Pennsylvania or Northern California. During the Civil War those who supported the Yankee Union position were called "anti-Virginians". State's rights was greatly trampled which the Constitution itself in the 10th amendment defends. It's been rougher eve

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.

POPSMilitary Conducts Un-routine Psy-Op on Denver Two words: Posse Comitatus. All this coincidentally in advance of DNC convention. This is the strongest form of creating irrational fear about "terrorism", including hyper-paranoid police and military preparations, which could lead to over-reaction during possible convention protests. Pure propaganda, pure psy-op, to indoctrinate and influence the CONTEXT of the DNC political convention. If nothing to hide, then why the secrecy about which branch of the military was involved? They will not answer in depth questions.

POPSBritish Set to Leave Iraq, Abandoning US Occupation First the Aussies, now the Brits. Suddenly the US has no major "international forces" but its own to occupy Iraq. This is a rebuke to the Blair-Bush alliance, and the "liberal" (neo-conned) Labor Party in the UK has suffered for the Iraq scheme (note that democrats) which the people know was built on lies and 9/11 propaganda for a "war on terrorism". This puts all eyes and pressure on the US whose "international coalition of the willing" has fallen apart.

POPSJune 10: National Call-in to Prevent Iran War ACT NOW! Ron Paul, Bob Barr, Lynn Woolsey and others will be taking part. Also through DownsizeDC Dispatch you can send a letter to Congress.

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?

POPSObama Plays to AIPAC on Iran Obama speaks to his real constituents--The Lobby. Gas prices will continue to rise on this speech, as his words demonstrate NO CHANGE in "entangling alliances" with Israel, bowing to the Lobby, and continuing the neocon agenda. Oil futures will continue to climb on war fears as this middle east policy based upon nothing but propaganda about Iran continues. He may say "diplomacy" but they can make him go to war, and will, through stealth provocations or false-flag events.

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.

POPSNews Execs Complicit in Pre-War Propaganda This confirmed by CNN's Jessica Yellin. The explanation of the execs motives is interesting. But actually that network execs are largely of Zionist persuasion has a lot to do with their support of war for a democratization of the Middle East and expansion of Israeli power consistent with the neoconservatives. They were also entirely complicit and non-investigative in fingering responsibility for 9/11, despite the lack of evidence beyond allegation.

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.

POPSThe Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder by Charles Manson prosecutor and Helter Skelter author Vincent Bugliosi. Click on the video and see how serious he is about a legal case against Bush. His prosecution record is almost flawless too.

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

POPSMemorial Day was Decoration Day, Civil War Remembrance Memorial Day has become Veterans Day II--usurped to cover-up this real Great War, which the MSM does not discuss, because of its implications. (Could the present U.S. government be one of a Union by force, a tyranny, an empire?) Now you only hear alot of talk, and outright lies, about how all soldiers in all wars "fought for our freedom". Pardon me for being intellectually honest--no they all did not! The truth is that since the Civil War, Americans have not been fighting to defend America's freedom but an empirical agenda toward global Democracy. Pat Buchanan is about to complete a new book about WWII called the Unnecessary War, which is sure to stir the fires of the real "historical revisionism" fed to everyone in public schools. The Iraq war is not to defend America's freedom any more than Wilson or Roosevelts. People should use Memorial Day to consider what the Civil War was really about that cost the lives of more than all other U.S. wars combined

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.

POPSU.S. House Blocks War Funding--Congress Stands Up Good! Unjust and anti-constitutional undeclared wars have no obligation to be funded. Bring the troops home with the budget in place. Congress is a separate and equal branch of government with the Executive, not its foot stool.

POPS$4 per Gallon Gas Pinching Low Income Families Worst This is forcing major shifts in spending and life changes as the cost of everything goes up respective to fuel costs, not just at the pump. This is pinching Americans, especially at lower income levels, while the well off remain careless and distracted. In turn this will increase government welfare spending, and force some out of their cars completely. All this to due dollar devaluation, due to heavy debt spending by government, printing money, to finance unjust and needless war-mongering abroad against countries that pose no threat to the U.S.. The poor suffer the most, as usual, who have the least to do with war policy, merely attempting to survive.

POPSObama's Israel Shuffle--Can He Be Trusted to Change War Policy? He plays to the Israeli Lobby in order to win the election, and they will hold him to it should he gain office. (Hillary and McCain are owned already). The desire for power is what changes, or entraps, men. If they help him win, they will "own" him, like they do most of Congress and every President, which drives the "war on terrorism", for Israel, and foreign policy. Just why does Bill Kristol (neocon leader) speak so well of Obama? Video here.

POPSIran Not Alone in Proxy Wars, U.S. Doing Same Republican Pat Buchanan uncovers the truth of why Iran MAY be (so he believes, naively methinks) arming militants in Iraq--if you believe the propaganda from Crocker and Patreus. The fact is that the U.S. is arming militants (i.e. terrorists) against Iran , and Buchanan thinks they are just responding in kind. So just who is fighting "proxy wars", especially when the U.S. is fighting all of this for ISRAEL? If there were more republicans like Buchanan and Ron Paul we would not be in wars presently, nor the dollar worthless, gas prices high, and the economy sinking (due to debt spending on war).

POPSWeak Dollar and Traders Behind Gas Prices, Not Supply and Demand This refutes a lot of talk about OPEC and such causing high oil and gas prices. It also explains higher prices on consumer goods, not just driven by fuel prices alone. The dollar is becoming as valued as the paper its printed on, which (this articles does not go into) is because of national indebtedness for heavy war spending, as Ron Paul pointed out during his campaigning. Traders and speculators in the investment community are increasingly buying oil futures for their portfolios and war fears (i.e. war on terrorism, middle east war-mongering) increase price on the trade floor, period.
