Hurray for a moronic president! What are the true American intentions in the middle east? Considering the Schizophrenic porkies which the war in Iraq was sold to us with, it is difficult to know with precision the true and complex American intentions in the entire Middle East. We had the weapons of mass destruction furphy, we had the regime change banter we were not really advocating, we had the freedom argument and the war on terrorism crusade — know as the war on terror from the start — and we had the axis of evil, in which good has to triumph over bad.... I would be inclined to believe that the American administration would prefer a stable Middle East that would be a partner in commerce and democratic intent, in which Israel would have pride of place, but other countries in the region would also be looked after and develop in harmony.

Recently, the US decided not to hand over the ICANN activities to the independent body. They cite 'security and stability' as their reasons for retaining control of the main Internet root servers. Under these conditions, the US could 'remove' any tld they didn't like and stop access to those sites. Whole domains (eg .org) could be removed. If the US continues to hold control, the effects in five years time may be disastrous for independent thinker/activists who use the web for grass roots democratic purposes. Yikes.

Today, more than 1,000 guests, including many prominent Australian politicians, diplomats, business people & celebrities, will attend the US Embassy in Canberra, to join in America’s 229^th Independence Day celebrations.

 

Arrangements have been made to hand each guest a copy of the following brochure, as they arrive.

It's clear now that the Doug Wood story, which was being manipulated to portray U.S. / Australian co-operation, has been kidnapped by George Bush to improve his approval ratings   Months, if not years, of hard work by Australian spin-doctors has become a couple of paragraphs in U.S. media to prove that Americans are successfully "teaching Iraqis to fight their own war", and the story has already disappeared from the international media "radar".  At the the same time, in spite of his portrayal as a hero by the media men of Defence and Foreign affairs,  Wood's opportunism led him to be treated with cynicism and and suspicion by  the Australian  public.... we won't be seeing him on TV    selling  beer and lamb  roast,  and  a handshake with the Prime  Minister  is looking  less likely.

Since 1994, Gus Leonisky has been interested by the CJD research and has followed many trails including that of a farmer who had a theory on BSE, went on to get a University degree and organised at his own expense some research programmes on the subject.

In the aftermath of September 11, George Bush declared his ‘war on terror’.

 

The self-anointed nemesis of the world’s ‘evil-doers’ then led the crusade to bomb Afghanistan back to the stone-age & record opium production, before criminally conspiring to unleash the dogs of war on the people of Iraq.
