VERY INDICTING and ACTIONABLE ARTICLE BELOW

I have to agree, due to 1) all the reports of the shrinking dollar
yesterday and
the EU bank (in Germany) saying "NO" to lowering interest rates, which
would deflate the euro (announced yesterday), in addition to 2)
Bushie's new
hissie-fit, yesterday, over NAFTA. NAFTA is the safety-net for the
Amerdollar (petrodollar?
perhaps we could start the mental dissociation), since if we lost Iraq
and Afghanistan,
wunnerful wars thunked up by Cheney, Wolfowitz, and Perle:
* w w w .actionlyme.org/SECURING_THE_REALM_BY_FRAUD.htm
we'll have to start more seriously raping our neighbor countries.
[Canada,
for some reason goes along with it, perhaps because of the Trilateral/
CFRs and their
continued attempts at control of the European economy. Most Canadians
would like
to see Harper hung by his you-know-what; they hate him.]

Thirdly, Kissinger... which I will return to later.

PS: I am doing over the homepage, since I find not enough people are
clear on the
role of Allen Steere in this international Lyme fiasco, and it makes
me furious
that the Hartford Courant would dare to compliment Yale over global
warming, when
in fact, Yale does not have the moral or intellectual capital to
assess all the
variables. They 1) tried to sell us a vaccine for relapsing fever,
2) illegally
invested in Sudanese oil thru Talisman, a Canadian firm, they 3)
invested in a commercial
national jails company, 4) they make money off of children's bodies
through
DCF drug experimentation, 5) Yale has no one qualified to assess
vaccines brain
damage as demonstrated by the Gephardt "Shaken Baby" case,
* w w w .actionlyme.org/VIKING_INTERVIEWS.htm
6) No one at the Yale Child Study Center - for which you have to wait
2.5 years
to have your vaccines- brain damaged kids evaluated for an educational
program -
performs any kind of spinal fluid analyses on this multitude of brain
damaged children
to determine the cause of the vaccines-failures epidemic), 7) Yale
fired an anti-globalization
professor, and 8) Yale's president, Levin, was on the 9/11 Commission
which
overlooked WTC7, despite the fact that Yale is basically a medical
science institution
(Go to the US patent database and look at all the patents assigned to
Yale)...

No one can call Yale any kind of a scholarly institution. They're
more like
a bad ad agency for BigBusiness fraud collaboration. Clearly not a
one of their
employees except Lt. Gen. Odom is any kind of an intellectual.
They're a bunch
of fairies, in fact:
* w w w .actionlyme.org/dictionary_of_connecticutisms.htm

Yale kinda makes the case that the possession of a penis results in
some sort of
a combined spine-collapsing and brain-jello-fication disorder.

What the Iraq War is about

By Paul Craig Roberts

The Bush Regime has quagmired America into a sixth year of war in
Afghanistan and
Iraq with no end in sight. The cost of these wars of aggression is
horrendous.
Official US combat casualties stand at 4,538 dead. Officially, 29,780
US troops
have been wounded in Iraq. Experts have argued that these numbers are
understatements.
Regardless, these numbers are only the tip of the iceberg.

On April 17, 2008, AP News reported that a new study released by the
RAND Corporation
concludes that =93some 300,000 U.S. troops are suffering from major
depression or
post traumatic stress from serving in the wars in Iraq and
Afghanistan, and 320,000
received brain injuries.=94

On April 21, 2008, OpEdNews reported that an internal email from Gen.
Michael J.
Kussman, undersecretary for health at the Veterans Administration, to
Ira Katz,
head of mental health at the VA, confirms a McClatchy Newspaper report
that 126
veterans per week commit suicide. To the extent that the suicides are
attributable
to the war, more than 500 deaths should be added to the reported
combat fatalities
each month.

Turning to Iraqi deaths, expert studies support as many as 1.2 million
dead Iraqis,
almost entirely civilians. Another 2 million Iraqis have fled their
country, and
there are 2 million displaced Iraqis within Iraq.

Afghan casualties are unknown.

Both Afghanistan and Iraq have suffered unconscionable civilian deaths
and damage
to housing, infrastructure and environment. Iraq is afflicted with
depleted uranium
and open sewers.

Then there are the economic costs to the US. Nobel economist Joseph
Stiglitz estimates
the full cost of the invasion and attempted occupation of Iraq to be
between $3
trillion and $5 trillion. The dollar price of oil and gasoline have
tripled, and
the dollar has lost value against other currencies, declining
dramatically even
against the lowly Thai baht. Before Bush launched his wars of
aggression, one US
dollar was worth 45 baht. Today the dollar is only worth 30 baht.

The US cannot afford these costs. Prior to his resignation last
month, US Comptroller
General David Walker reported that the accumulated unfunded
liabilities of the US
government total $53 trillion dollars. The US government cannot cover
these liabilities.
The Bush Regime even has to borrow the money from foreigners to pay
for its wars
in Iraq and Afghanistan. There is no more certain way to bankrupt the
country and
dethrone the dollar as world reserve currency.

The moral costs are perhaps the highest. All of the deaths, injuries,
and economic
costs to the US and its victims are due entirely to lies told by the
President and
Vice President of the US, by the Secretary of Defense, the National
Security Advisor,
the Secretary of State, and, of course, by the media, including the
=93liberal=94 New
York Times. All of these lies were uttered in behalf of an undeclared
agenda.
=93Our=94 government has still not told =93we the people=94 the real reasons=

=93our=94 government
invaded Afghanistan and Iraq.

Instead, the American sheeple have accepted a succession of
transparent lies: weapons
of mass destruction, al Qaeda connections and complicity in the 9/11
attack, overthrowing
a dictator and =93bringing democracy=94 to Iraqis.

The great moral American people would rather believe government lies
than to acknowledge
the government=92s crimes and to hold the government accountable.

There are many effective ways in which a moral people could protest.
Consider investors,
for example. Clearly Halliburton and military suppliers are cleaning
up. Investors
flock to the stocks in order to participate in the rise in value from
booming profits.
But what would a moral people do? Wouldn=92t they boycott the stocks of
the companies
that are profiting from the Bush Regime=92s war crimes?

If the US invaded Iraq for any of the succession of reasons the Bush
Regime has
given, why would the US have spent $750 million on a fortress
=93embassy=94 with anti-missile
systems and its own electricity and water systems spread over 104
acres? No one
has ever seen or heard of such an embassy before. Clearly, this
=93embassy=94 is constructed
as the headquarters of an occupying colonial ruler.

The fact is that Bush invaded Iraq with the intent of turning Iraq
into an American
colony. The so-called government of al-Maliki is not a government.
Maliki is the
well paid front man for US colonial rule. Maliki=92s government does not
exist outside
the protected Green Zone, the headquarters of the American
occupation.

If colonial rule were not the intent, the US would not be going out of
its way to
force al Sadr=92s 60,000 man militia into a fight. Sadr is a Shi=92ite
who is a real
Iraqi leader, perhaps the only Iraqi who could end the sectarian
conflict and restore
some unity to Iraq. As such he is regarded by the Bush Regime as a
danger to the
American puppet Maliki. Unless the US is able to purchase or rig the
upcoming Iraqi
election, Sadr is likely to emerge as the dominant figure. This would
be a highly
unfavorable development for the Bush Regime=92s hopes of establishing
its colonial
rule behind the facade of a Maliki fake democracy. Rather than work
with Sadr in
order to extract themselves from a quagmire, the Americans will be
doing everything
possible to assassinate Sadr.

Why does the Bush Regime want to rule Iraq? Some speculate that it is
a matter
of =93peak oil.=94 Oil supplies are said to be declining even as demand
for oil multiplies
from developing countries such as China. According to this argument,
the US decided
to seize Iraq to insure its own oil supply.

This explanation is problematic. Most US oil comes from Canada,
Mexico, and Venezuela.
The best way for the US to insure its oil supplies would be to protect
the dollar=92s
role as world reserve currency. Moreover, $3-5 trillion would have
purchased a
tremendous amount of oil. Prior to the US invasions, the US oil
import bill was
running less than $100 billion per year. Even in 2006 total US
imports from OPEC
countries was $145 billion, and the US trade deficit with OPEC totaled
$106 billion.
Three trillion dollars could have paid for US oil imports for 30
years; five trillion
dollars could pay the US oil bill for a half century had the Bush
Regime preserved
a sound dollar.

The more likely explanation for the US invasion of Iraq is the
neoconservative Bush
Regime=92s commitment to the defense of Israeli territorial expansion.
There is no
such thing as a neoconservative who is not allied with Israel. Israel
hopes to
steal all of the West Bank and southern Lebanon for its territorial
expansion.
An American colonial regime in Iraq not only buttresses Israel from
attack, but
also can pressure Syria and Iran from giving support to the
Palestinians and Lebanese.
The Iraqi war is a war for Israeli territorial expansion. Americans
are dying and
bleeding to death financially for Israel. Bush=92s =93war on terror=94 is a=

hoax that
serves to cover US intervention in the Middle East in behalf of
=93greater Israel.=94
