I am now writing a piece for Truthout.org on the wider ramifications of the Bush Administration's lunatic dumping of a nuclear weapons "cookbook" on the Internet and leaving it posted up for months: a pearl beyond price for any government, militia, terrorist group, religious cult or criminal mafia hoping to wield some of the nuclear terror that has hitherto been the sole province of the world's "most developed" nations.

As we all know, the reason for this data-dump was purely and solely partisan politics: the Bush Faction wanted their little bootlickers in the rightwing blogosphere to cherry-pick the raw data from millions of Saddam-era documents in hopes of finding something that would goose a couple of news cycles here and there with stories of "revelations" that "justify" one or more of the Bush Regime's warmongering lies. They've been disappointed in this propaganda gambit, however – namely because there can be no data of WMD programs that didn't exist (or links to al Qaeda that never were). However, there was plenty of data on the almost-successful nuclear weapons program that Saddam had built before 1991 – with a mighty assist from a former U.S. president named George Bush. It was this data that the gormless son of Saddam's former accomplice and benefactor released for all the world to see.

As an American and a Christian I am supposed to support and bow down to the authors of the crime that is pictured above.

CRIME! What sort of word is that to describe this act? What sort of word can properly describe the horrific injustice wrought against that innocent branch of God’s creation? Is this a display of the justice for which my country is supposed to be famous?

In Texas, the Trans-Texas Corridor (TTC-35) has become a major issue in the gubernatorial campaign where incumbent Republican Gov. Rick Perry is viewed as a chief proponent for building this new, giant toll road parallel to Interstate-35.

His sister makes an urgent plea for his life

WASHINGTON - The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights said today that Cuba committed multiple violations when it imprisoned 75 dissidents and swiftly tried and executed three hijackers during a 2003 crackdown on dissent.

The decision by the commission, a branch of the Organization of American States, will likely have little immediate impact on the 61 dissidents still in jail or the relatives of the three hijackers because Cuba has not recognized previous commission decisions.

But human rights lawyers say it could lay the groundwork for reparations if there is a change in Cuba's government.

Video Webcast of Michel Chossudovsky's Lecture

McMaster University, September 2003

According to Chossudovsky, the "war on terrorism" is a complete fabrication based on the illusion that one man, Osama bin Laden, outwitted the $40 billion-a-year American intelligence apparatus. The "war on terrorism" is a war of conquest. Globalisation is the final march to the "New World Order", dominated by Wall Street and the U.S. military-industrial complex.

September 11, 2001 provides a justification for waging a war without borders. Washington's agenda consists in extending the frontiers of the American Empire to facilitate complete U.S. corporate control, while installing within America the institutions of the Homeland Security State.

Chossudovsky peels back layers of rhetoric to reveal a complex web of deceit aimed at luring the American people and the rest of the world into accepting a military solution which threatens the future of humanity.

“[W]e are stretched too thin and need a larger military,” argued The Weekly Standard in a recent editorial entitled “More Troops.”

“Researchers at conservative think tanks like the American Enterprise Institute and the Heritage Foundation call for larger ground forces, as do thinkers at centrist and liberal organizations like Brookings, CSIS, and even the Center for American Progress.”

And why do we need more troops?

The interesting point is that we, Iranians, did not use to think of a God called Mithra. Many of us had not even heard of his name. But, for more than 20 years Iranians all over the world have been getting together at a night such as tonight and celebrating his mythical birth. Celebration aside, I would like to say a few words about this strange and highly significant socio-cultural phenomenon in the contemporary history of my country.
