Bush lies and lies and lies

and the mass murder media is full of details, regaling us with the he-said she-said, pass the blame around until most people give up trying to keep track who faked what game. The Washington Post tells us that the Flap Over Iraq Charge Shows Bush Vulnerability , "With surprising swiftness, an esoteric debate over 16 words in this year's State of the Union address has changed the national political scene in recent days."

"And, for the first time a senior Republican has hinted that blame for the matter might extend beyond Central Intelligence Agency Director George Tenet," as a Senate panel probes possible White House blame. America's "public servants" dance around while, Whole Units Of US Soldiers In Iraq are On Suicide Watch.

How about adding to the confusion by implicating Italy as the source of those uranium documents, and the fact that Niger is upset by uranium slur.

Blair Visits Bush with Clouds Over Iraq Victory, and plans to address Congress and we are told that, "behind the scenes there are likely to be some tensions." Whatever. No mention of the tensions of the U.S. troops as the, new commander of coalition troops in Iraq declared yesterday that America was "still at war" and that it was facing classic guerrilla tactics, and some troops should expect a year in Iraq. Meanwhile raping, pillaging, looting, pot shots, infected water, malnutrition, electrical blackouts, killer heat, and a general stench of death are Bush's idea of freedom, and what U.S. troops are sent in to defend.

ABC news (owned by Disney) reports A Big Letdown: Soldiers Learn They’ll Be in Baghdad Longer Than Expected and quotes Spc. Clinton Deitz saying "If Donald Rumsfeld was here," he said, "I'd ask him for his resignation, " and the articles continues with, "Those are strong words from troops used to following orders." (Check out Salon's report on Rumsfeld's personal spy ring that was used to provide a pretext for war in Iraq. Requires registration for the day if not already a subscriber.)

But Wait! Just in time! Pentagon Bombshell: U.S. Uncovers WMD Document 'Mother Lode' A veritable "treasure trove" we are told of oh so scary documents. Are we supposed to believe this stuff?

Meanwhile, Everyone is so jittery these days that Goat cheese is all it takes to cause security trouble.

A few days ago we posted a link to Greg Palast's new BBC Video. We recommend downloading, burning it on a cd and passing it on to family members who still believe that Bush was elected, and that the Iraq invasion was about 9/11. Heck, it's got an ex-fighter pilot breaking down in tears over Bush's lies.

The documentary leaves the door wide open about Bush's involvement in the 9/11 affair. Is it a warning to the Bush family to toe the line? Perhaps the pedophile cover-up in Britain was also a warning to Blair to toe the line. Just who is pulling the strings here? Why is the Zionist owned media suddenly jumping on Bush? What are we all not supposed to see while this soap opera is being played in front of us night and day? We will continue to probe for the answers and assemble the clues here at The Signs of the Times.

During all this high drama, the media has bothered themselves to make the curious announcement that Asteroid hazards have been revised:

Large meteorites are more likely to break up in the atmosphere before they hit the Earth than was previously thought. [N]ew estimates reduce the likely frequency of potentially catastrophic impacts of large meteorites at the Earth's surface by about a factor of 50, relative to previous forecasts...

We feel safer already.

Small Stony Asteroids Will Explode and Not Hit Earth

When asteroids fall through Earth's atmosphere, a variety of things can happen. Large iron-heavy space rocks are almost sure to slam into the planet. Their stony cousins, however, can't take the pressure and are more likely to explode above the surface.

Either outcome can be dismal. But the consequences vary.

So scientists who study the potential threat of asteroids would like to know more about which types and sizes of asteroids break apart and which hold together. [...]

Chances of asteroid hitting earth 'get slimmer'

The chances of a "small" asteroid the width of two football pitches hitting the Earth are slimmer than previously thought.

Computer simulations indicate asteroids about 220 metres across are likely to smash into the Earth once in every 170,000 years. [...]

Dr Phil Bland, from Imperial College London, who took part in the study reported in the journal Nature, said: "Massive impacts of the type thought to have wiped out the dinosaurs leave an indelible print on the Earth, but we have not been able to accurately document the effect of smaller impacts. [...]

"Now, we have a handle on the size of 'rock' we really need to worry about and how well the Earth's atmosphere protects us."

Comment:

From session 940930 (1994):

Q: (L) Is there any regular periodicity or cycle to this comet business?
A: Yes.
Q: (L) What is the period?
A: 3600 years roughly.

From session 940015 (1994):

Q: (L) Now, this cluster of comets, when was the last time it came into the solar system?
A: 3582 yrs ago?
Q: (L) What is the cycle?
A: 3600 yrs.
Q: (L) So, when is this cluster expected to hit the plane of the ecliptic again?
A: 12 to 18 years.

From session 980704 (1998):

Q: (A) I understand that this comet cluster is cyclic and comes every 3600 years. I want to know something about the shape of this comet cluster. I can hardly imagine...
A: Shape is variable. Effect depends on closeness of passage.
Q: (L) So, it could be spread out... (A) We were asking at some point where it will be coming from. The answer was that we were supposed to look at a spirograph.
A: Yes.
Q: (A) Now, spirograph suggests that these comets will not come from one direction, but from many directions at once. Is this correct?
A: Very good!!!
Q: (A) Okay, they will come from many directions...
A: But, initial visibility presents as single, solid body.
Q: (A) Do we know what is the distance to this body at present?
A: Suggest you keep your eyes open!
Q: (A) I am keeping my eyes open.
A: Did you catch the significance of the answer regarding time table of cluster and brown star? Human cycle mirrors cycle of catastrophe. Earth benefits in form of periodic cleansing. Time to start paying attention to the signs. They are escalating. They can even be "felt" by you and others, if you pay attention.

Fresh, rayed impact crater seen on Mars

NASA/JPL/MSSS PHOTO RELEASE

This Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) image shows a fresh, young meteor impact crater on the martian surface. It is less than 400 meters (less than 400 yards) across. While there is no way to know the exact age of this or any other martian surface feature, the rays are very well preserved.

On a planet where wind can modify surface features at the present time, a crater with rayed ejecta patterns must be very young indeed. Despite its apparent youth, the crater could still be many hundreds of thousands, if not several million, of years old. [...]

Smoking supernovae solve ten billion year old mystery

JOINT ASTRONOMY CENTRE NEWS RELEASE
Posted: July 16, 2003

A team of UK astronomers have announced the discovery that some supernovae have bad habits -- they belch out huge quantities of 'smoke' known as cosmic dust. This solves a mystery more than 10 billion years in the making. The new observations, published on 17th July in the journal 'Nature', answer long-standing questions about the origin of the first solid particles ever to form in the Universe.

The team measured the cold cosmic dust in 'Cassiopeia A', the remnant of a supernova explosion in our own Galaxy, about 11,000 light years from Earth. The amount of dust was a thousand times what had been previously detected, suggesting that these powerful explosions are one of the most efficient ways to create cosmic dust. This also answers the riddle of how large quantities of dust recently discovered in the early universe were formed.

Unlike household dust, cosmic 'dust' actually consists of tiny solid grains (mostly carbon and silicates) floating around in interstellar space, with similar sizes to the particles in cigarette smoke. The presence of dust grains around young stars helps them to form and they are also the building blocks of planets. [...]

The Middle-Finger News: Sticking It To the Poobahs

WHITE HOUSE DEJA VU

Thirty years ago, the United States' Vice-President, Spiro Agnew, was forced from office by a belated scandal. Gerald Ford, the JFK murder white-washer, without an election, replaced him as the Vice-President thanks to the 25th Amendment which was pushed into constitutional law by the Rockefeller family.

Shortly thereafter, President Richard M. Nixon was coerced to leave office and this time, Vice-President Ford, without an election,  became the resident of the Oval Office.

President Gerald Ford, in turn, appointed Nelson Rockefeller, without an election, as the new Vice-President. Thus the Nixon/Agnew team was replaced by the Ford/Rockefeller cabal. Rockefeller, a member of one of the world's richest families, testified to the U.S. Senate that he had paid no taxes for the previous eleven years.
Shortly thereafter, Ford survived three genuine assassination attempts. Rockefeller almost became the President by a bullet not a ballot.

Like his uncle, John D. Rockefeller 4th, who calls himself Jay to be cute, itches to occupy the Oval Office without legal election formality. And the CIA is now attempting to force out U.S. Vice-President Dick Cheney.

Does George W. Bush study history? Does he see a pattern here? Or is he, according to some cynical commentators, busy pissing on his shoes? [...]

Israel releases Irishman after Real IRA mix-up

By Gary Kelly

An Irishman held in Israel on suspicion of helping to train Palestinians in bomb-making techniques was due to be put on a plane to London last night.

Sean O'Muireagain, 40, from west Belfast, was arrested near Ramallah on Saturday on suspicion of being a bomb expert helping terrorist groups on the West Bank. But on Tuesday, the Israeli authorities said the Irish language activist had been a victim of mistaken identity. Israeli sources said Mr O'Muireagain, who is still in custody, was being deported, but not for terrorist reasons.

Sinn Fein's former health minister, Bairbre de Brun, said the west Belfast man should not have been arrested. "Serious questions remain to be answered about the role of British intelligence agencies in the initial arrest and elements of the media in the coverage of this." Mr O'Muireagain, who is known at home as "John Boy Morgan", was apparently mistaken for a South Armagh man called John Morgan, who is known to British and Irish security services. Israeli security sources were reportedly blaming British intelligence for the tip-off.

Mr O'Muireagain, a member of the Ireland-Palestinian Solidarity Committee, had been in the Middle East for three weeks on a cultural exchange visit. He had also been working as a correspondent for the west Belfast-based Irish Language newspaper La, and had submitted an article on conditions in the Palestinian town of Jenin.

He was also hoping to forge links with a Palestinian primary school because he is chairman of a board of Irish school governors.

British TV crew faked story from submarine during Iraq war: report

LONDON (AFP) Jul 17, 2003

The report by Sky News apparently showed the preparation and firing of a cruise missile.

But the nuclear-powered submarine HMS Splendid was docked and the BBC documentary crew says the events were staged for the benefit of Sky's camera, the Guardian reported. [...]

29th suicide attempt made at Guantanamo prison

Jul. 16, 2003. 09:09 PM

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) - A prisoner tried to kill himself again in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, where U.S. authorities are preparing for military tribunals to try terror suspects, officials said Wednesday.

Tuesday's attempt was the 29th since the detention mission began 1 1/2 years ago, said spokesman Lt.-Col. Barry Johnson. [...]

Officials at Guantanamo Bay have begun planning for court facilities and an execution chamber, since the tribunals may impose death sentences.

Pentagon officials have said the military might continue to hold suspects even if they were acquitted.

Comment: If this doesn't make the Bush Reich's agenda blatantly obvious to the American people, we're not sure what will. There is simply no room left to deny that Bush is a dictator.

Defendant flips table over after sentencing for murdering his children

WASHINGTON (AP) — After leaping to his feet and overturning the defense table, a man was sentenced Monday to two concurrent life sentences for slitting the throats of his two children.

During the sentencing hearing, a prosecutor told the federal judge that Anderson Black's motive for the murders was anger.

"That's not true! That's not true," Black screamed — then used his shackled hands to flip over the heavy wooden table, shattering its glass top and breaking off two legs.

Shooter's girlfriend interrupts memorial service

MERIDIAN, Miss. (AP) The girlfriend of accused Meridian plant gunman Doug Williams interrupted a memorial service Thursday, saying Williams also should be viewed as a victim.

Authorities are attempting to contact individuals who may have firsthand knowledge about any behavioral problems displayed by Williams who shot 14 colleagues, killing five, at an aircraft parts plant on Tuesday.

Williams committed suicide following his lethal rampage at the Lockheed Martin plant. Co-workers said the 48-year-old had had run-ins with management and several fellow employees.

Shirley Price, Williams' girlfriend, interrupted a speech by Meridian Mayor John Robert Smith.

Price said, "Excuse me. Don't criticize this man. He was human too...don't exclude him. He was a victim, too...He was a kind and loving human being."

Price broke into tears and left the church.

Price told The Associated Press that Williams had "felt like everybody was against him," knew he had problems and had tried to get help from Lockheed officials who ignored him.

Price says Williams was taking medicine for depression and high blood pressure.

Priest proves no comfort in shadow of death

ABC.net.au
Thursday, July 17, 2003

A New Mexico family is suing the local Catholic church over a funeral in which the priest allegedly said their relative was only a middling Catholic who was going straight to hell. [...]

Court papers filed last month say Rev Scott Mansfield said at Martinez's funeral last year that the deceased was "living in sin", "lukewarm in his faith" and that "the Lord vomited people like Ben out of his mouth to hell". [...]

Family members say he was a practising Catholic all his life but was too ill to attend church in the last year of his life. [...]

The complaint also said that as Rev Mansfield walked to the grave, he laced his comments about Martinez - a former town councilman - with profanities. [...]

Satellites See Lightning Strikes In Ozone's Origins

During summertime ozone near the Earth's surface forms in most major U.S. cities when sunlight and heat mix with car exhaust and other pollution, causing health officials to issue "ozone alerts." But in other parts of the world, such as the tropical Atlantic, this low level ozone appears to originate naturally in ways that have left scientists puzzled. Now, NASA-funded scientists using four satellites can tell where low level ozone pollution comes from and whether it was manmade or natural. [...]
