August 22, 2006 It all began when...
"America's war grew worse and worse, when unfamiliar words like 'collateral' and 'rendition' became frightening.... The truth is, there is something terribly wrong with this country.... Fear became the ultimate tool of this government." Is this fiction, or reality? Is it, as one movie reviewer put it, "a vile, pro-terrorist piece of neo-Marxist, left-wing propaganda" or is it an inevitable reaction to Neocon world domination? Click to see the video clip. |

UPI International Editor 22 August 06 WASHINGTON -- President George W. Bush admitted that the war in Iraq is "straining the psyche of our country." Bush said that sometimes he was "frustrated," though "rarely surprised." That in itself, should be surprising, given that not much in Iraq is really going according to plan and the violence is escalating almost daily.
Comment: Bush is such a liar. The conditions in Iraq are exactly what the Neocons planned. They are, after all, psychopaths looking for ways to decimate the population of normal people.
Pathocracy survives thanks to the feeling of being threatened by the society of normal people, as well as by other countries wherein various forms of the system of normal man persist. For the rulers, staying on the top is therefore the classic problem of "to be or not to be". ... |

GlobeandMail 22 August 06 TORONTO -- Five years after Sept. 11, 2001, many experts feel that the war on terror has reached its climax. Yet a former Israeli spymaster is urging the West to gird for the long haul and take ever-tougher steps to fight terrorism.
"This is a third world war," Efraim Halevy, Mossad director from 1998 to 2002, told The Globe and Mail in an interview yesterday. "International Islamic terror has made its objectives and aims very clear." Although al-Qaeda-inspired plots have been thwarted this summer in Britain and Canada, Mr. Halevy takes scant comfort in the arrests. He said they simply prove that more vigilance is needed against a threat that is still growing. |

Tuesday August 22, 2006 Guardian Unlimited A government minister today gave a stark warning that the "war on terror" was a war without end, telling a community meeting that the fight against extremists was likely to be "perpetual".
As 11 people appeared in court over an alleged aircraft bomb plot, communities minister Phil Woolas said it would take "generations" to overcome extremists who want to destroy British society and establish a "mono-theocratic dictatorship". |

TimesOnline 23 August 06 Even including the September 11 attacks, the number of Americans killed by terrorists since records on this were kept is about the same as those killed by lightning, accident-causing deer or severe allergic reaction to peanuts
"In a powerful paper for the libertarian American think-tank the Cato Institute, Professor John Mueller provides strong support for the Parris argument. He points out that "in almost all years, the total number of people worldwide who die at the hands of international terrorists anywhere in the world is not much more than the number who drown in bathtubs in the United States". He adds that even including the September 11 attacks, the number of Americans killed by terrorists since records on this were kept is about the same as those killed by lightning, accident-causing deer or severe allergic reaction to peanuts."

Tunis Hebdo, Tunisia Translated By Sandrine Ageorges August 14 – August 20 Issue So above us in the sky brooded an imminent catastrophe. That of a terrorist attack on a the scale of September 11, aimed at trying to explode aircraft leaving from Great Britain, bound for the United States. The immense plot, foiled by the British secret services, in direct collaboration with Pakistan and America, has been perceived by the majority of Western chancelleries as a success. And it confirms, as if this was needed, that the West is truly committed to its crusade against Islamist terrorism.

Portland Press Herald Staff Writer August 22, 2006 A 76-year-old New York man who joked about having hand grenades on his luggage at the Portland Jetport was arrested on charges of terrorizing.
