Israel Plans to Nuke Iran!

The Sunday Times of London has run a major news story about how Israel has secret plans to use low-level nuclear weapons to destroy Iran's nuclear enrichment facilities.

Revealed: Israel Plans Nuclear Strike on Iran - The Sunday Times

Conducting interviews on this issue is Richard Hellman, founder of Christians' Israel Public Action Campaign (CIPAC), a political action committee and lobbying organization that encourages evangelical Christians and the current Presidential administration to continue to support Israel, but maybe not with their nuclear weapon plans!

The Shrub Starts to Shrivel

From the shining, white-hot pen of Mick Gallagher:

The Shrub Starts to Shrivel
*******
Do you think that a Democratic president would be given such easy treatment as this guy [the shrub]? Carte Blanche, lie after lie, deception after deception. Orwellian newspeak, double-talk, double-mindedness.

Imagine a Carter, Clinton, Kerry, or our true actual president-- President Al Gore -- sitting on all these deaths & destruction? [The shrub] lied us into an illegal, immoral, unjust war, with no clear definitive mark of what "victory" is? And do you think this is the true Christian thing to do? Kill, maim over 650,000 innocent Iraqis -- who never hurt one American, who had no way, or any reason to attack this country, and no means to do it, even if they did hate us that much.

And 1 last thing: If we are to believe are mis-leaders, who were the men on those planes in Sept 2001? Egyptians, Saudi's, Yemenese-- right? Any Iraqis? Afghanis? Lebanese Christians? Palestinians? Somalians? Hell, no!

As most of you realize, 091101 was the catalyst for this perpetual war plan, written by... Corporate wolves such as Cheney, bush, Rumsfeld,etc. But if there are ever International War Crimes Trials, the Zionist Neoconservatives must be put on trial AS WELL. Wolfowitz, Perle, Kissinger, Kagan, Feith,etc. And don't forget the Billionaire Boyz Club of such behemoth defense contractor clubs as the Carlyle Group, which features such luminaries as gw bush, Jeb Bush, Frank Carlucci, John Majors(UK dummy). They have been profiting smartly since the beginning of these faux invasions and occupations.

If we don't stand up, and speak truth to power, this will only get worse. Iran is on the planning board, of coarse, pushed by the conservative think tanks, American Enterprise Institute,etc.

Can you imagine Clinton lying us into this,and the media giving him a free pass to escalate it after 4 failed yrs of bull____? [The notorious] liberal media just ain't there!! Ya boy--they got all kinda power!! Bull____ -- pure & simple. More Orwellian brainwashing. Hitler, Himmler, Goebbels, Heydrich would be proud.

Time for Impeachment Now

The fastest way to bring the troops home from Iraq is to impeach bush

IMPEACHMENT ACTION PAGE: http://www.peaceteam.net/impeachment_now2.php

Before the coming of george bush and his shadow president Dick Cheney, the greatest military blunder in American History was thought to be Custer's Last Stand. It did not take a lot of hindsight to know that general Custer's vain assault on a much larger force of better-armed native Americans would come to no good end. His own Indian scouts told him that the encampment at Little Bighorn was far too large to be attacked. But in his supreme arrogance, Custer believed that HE knew better than his own best sources of intelligence. We all know the result of that one.

How uncanny are the parallels to the current situation in Iraq? The neocon ideologues who seized dictatorial control of our government brushed off all contrary advice, and manufactured intelligence to support their case. They dismissed any challenge to their vision of the absolute power of American military dominance as a matter of right. They fired any underling who dared to try to tell them the truth, that
deposing Saddam would lead directly and inexorably to an Islamic theocracy, if not a sectarian civil war. They used the power of their crony associates in the corporate media to smear any public critic. And they are still doing it.

In case you had not noticed, the very first act of the new secretary of defense was to order more troops to Kuwait. [This was] to enable sending more to Iraq. In other words, the self-anointed "decider" has already decided-- to defy the will of the American people, their Congress, and the entire rest of the world, for all it matters to him. In his mind, this is another one of those "done deals." The only thing that's taking so long to make the official announcement is the difficulty of yet another con job on us, with public opinion moving ever more forcefully in the opposite direction. Most of the remaining rubber stamp members of Congress are already coming down with a major case of cold feet, thanks to your voices, but george bush does not care.

They've even had problems this time finding strategists to sign on to this surge of stupidity. The best that they could come up with was some chest pounder talking about "choosing" victory, as if this was just some kind of personal motivation seminar, and the Iraqi people themselves were to have no say at all in the matter. Why don't we have George Custer tell us that the number of Indians was of no consequence? The primary difference between him and what bush has done is that Custer did not wreck the ENTIRE U.S. Army, Custer did not mortgage our whole economy for generations to come, and, unlike bush, he actually had the courage to enter mortal combat himself.

You see, our child king has already declared that, as long as he is president, he is not budging an inch from Iraq. Take him at his word. You heard him say it. He is determined to take this country down with him in a pique of stubborn ignorance. He will not go out without a final surge of insanity and horror. And the only thing that can possibly save us all, and our future, is to finally stand up and hold him accountable for his high crimes and misdemeanors. [These are] enough to impeach every president who has ever served.

IMPEACHMENT ACTION PAGE: http://www.peaceteam.net/impeachment_now2.php

It is impossible to read the Constitution and not see george bush's name writ large in every reference to the salvation of impeachment. If the founders had known his actual name, it certainly would have been expressly stated there, just as they enumerated the many outrages of their own king George. And all that is required for it to happen is for enough of us to speak out at the same time, to our members of Congress, in letters to the editors of our newspapers, and it WILL be so. When Custer's Crow scouts told him in unison that he was out of his mind, he let them go. It's not only time to let george bush go; but we must MAKE him go-- NOW.

Please take action NOW, so we can win all victories that are supposed to be ours.

More Innocent Blood in Iraq

(thanks to Mick Gallagher)

A BUZZFLASH NEWS ALERT
New Bush Iraq Plan Presented by Neocon Think-Tank Friday.
Troop Boost will be "Long and Lasting," not a "Surge"
Created 01/05/2007 - 11:33am

The American Enterprise Institute (AEI) - the think-tank at the heart of the Neocon movement - held a presentation Friday on what should be the foundation of the new Iraq strategy President Bush is expected to unveil next week. Sens. Joe Lieberman and John McCain will also speak at the event on the topic.

Basically, this is the whole "surge" thing we've been hearing about. The only problem is that it is not a surge at all; it's a lengthy boost. Frederick Kagan and Jack Keane, the authors of the AEI report, actually wrote an article last month explaining that "any troop increase must be large and lasting" (a short surge, of course, would "play into the enemy's hands" and "virtually ensure defeat").

Looking deeper into the study, the Kagan/Keane strategy is not a plan to move forward so we can leave, it's a plan to start all over again from scratch. They actually advocate abandoning political development and Iraqi forces training to focus solely on what they call "clear and hold" by American forces of "critical terrain." Only then, they say, can we start thinking about transferring control to Iraqis.

Solely under this plan will the 3000+ American and countless Iraqi deaths thus far have been completely in vain. Worse, even more people will die. Even Kagan and Keane predict in their study "increasing casualties to levels higher than before the start of security operations" - and that's in response to the fourth and final phase of their approach! Ironically, they even use the word "surge" to describe the rise in deadly violence they predict by extremists in the other phases. Those looking for Vietnam comparisons will find the prediction of an insurgent "Tet Offensive" on page 31 of the draft report.

The insanity of Bush's acceptance of these ideas is that they are coming from the very people he listened to from the beginning that got us into this quagmire. After their predictable failure, nearly everyone else in the world - including even many conservative Republicans - knows we need to finally redeploy our combat forces. Yet Bush is giving the AEI Neocons a mulligan they sorely do not deserve and the voters resoundingly rejected last November.

Walking On Water

*******

In harmony with the article in the uld about the Gospels' being symbolic, I believe that Jesus could, under the Power of God, walk on the water, literally. But I believe that the story might also be symbolic of our "walk through life." For we must rise above, and at the same time use as our Source and support, the great Unconscious. And in dreams and mythologies, the symbol of the Unconscious is always presented in the form of water.

*******

Two very different gods

*******

Writing is about the best "autotherapy" that has ever been discovered. It helps to clarify your own ideas: You write what you need to learn. So, writing down your thoughts can be a great exercise in mental clarity, and can help even in small matters.

Use of the Scriptures can be a wonderful "shorthand" for self-expression. But too much dependence on the Hebrew Scriptures ("Old Testament") has been found to be only confusing, for they teach a completely different god-- the ancient cultural wargod of the Hebrews. For the "God" of the Christian Scriptures ("New Testament") is Love Itself, and is healing and healthy. So, my advice would be to abandon the confusing, cruel, and loveless god of the Hebrew Scriptures, and to focus all attention on the God of pure, unsullied, unstained, perfect Love and forgiveness. That will keep you on track, especially in dealing with confused and confusing Christians.

*******

The "bread of life"

*******

The bios of Jesus, given in Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, are accounts that might be partly symbolic and partly literal. If the spiritual psychologist Dr. Carl Jung was right, they are written as allegories or symbolic statements. For example, the famous "Christmas story " has Jesus born among the animals in a manger. This could be interpreted as meaning that the Spirit of Love (Christ) must be "born in the heartmind" among the "animals" of the lower nature.

In the Temptation story, during his forty days fasting in the wilderness, "Satan" approached Jesus. This means that he was, as we all are, "assaulted" and challenged by the lower nature (fear, Love's opposite).

"Satan" then challenged him: "If you are the Son of God, turn these stones into bread."

The "stones" can be seen as earthly (lower) thoughts, for stones come from the earth. These thoughts or ideas are not flexible, but rigid; and they are often quite heavy, as well. Bread can signify life, especially life in Christ. (He said elsewhere, "I am the bread that came down from heaven.") So, the lower nature ("Satan") tries to convince us that, by our own self- (ego-) generated thoughts, thoughts of the lower nature, we can become enlightened and enjoy a truly spiritual life. Of course, this is a lie, and we never can. Jesus' repudiation of this premise shows that it is wrong, and that only by yielding to thoughts of the higher nature (God, Love) can we become alive spiritually.

This, btw, is the meaning of partaking of the bread of Communion (Eucharist). Only by letting the Christ into our heartminds, and never by simply filling the mind with ego-thoughts, can we find the wisdom of Love.

*******

The Unconscious and pictorial language

*******

As dreams demonstrate, the unconscious Mind is far more likely to use pictorial images than mere words. The creation of words, and word-formulas, is largely the intellectual creation of the conscious mind. The conscious mind (that of which we are aware) is only a small part of Mind, most of which is unconscious. One goal of enlightenment is to make the mind a crystal-clear mind through which the higher Mind (soul) or highest Mind (Spirit) can shine as Love (goodness, kindness, compassion, etc.) This is the purpose of meditation.

Lies about Democracy

Lies about Democracy

From: m.coyn*****

There is nothing in the US Constitution about the "separation of church and state." That is a fallacy.

*****

Mick wrote:

Democracy relies on the separation of powers and secular education.

Posted by: thoughtcriminal on Jan 4, 2007 8:27 AM

The original framers of the US Constitution included the separation of Church and State for a number of reasons. The primary one was European history, which had been dominated by religious wars for centuries. There was a long record of individuals using religion as a route to political power and wealth, and they wanted to put an end to that.

They also believed in a separation of powers, which is why we have the legislative, judicial and executive branches of government. They clearly recognized that religious institutions already had more then enough power, and they were opposed to the notion of empires and dictatorships (having just won independence from the dictatorial and imperial British Empire [under a king named "george"].

Clearly, what Bush&Co. have been attempting to do for quite some time is to take over all three branches of government in their quest for a totalitarian state.

These people hate democracy. As part of this strategy, they are also trying to break down the barriers between religion and the state.

I imagine what Bush would like to see is something like what his Saudi Royal friends have-- a dictatorship backed by a fundamentalist religious authority, with all wealth and power in the hands of a small elite who also exert absolute control over the press and the educational system.

The educational system is pretty critical, since it can either brainwash young minds into rigid conformity with authority, or teach them to think critically and independently. A healthy democracy requires the latter.

This is all pretty obvious, but our corporate press still trots out rubbish like, "Bush's plan to spread democracy in the Middle East" - when that's the absolute last thing that these elitist international thugs (Baker and Cheney, for example) would ever want to see.
