The first mistake, due to accident, miscalculation or poor judgement, madness, or intention, could be the last mistake the human race ever makes.

When liars are exposed and have committed major war crimes as a part of that lie, they do not suddenly admit they were wrong as the following story shows. They keep inventing new lies, trying to validate the original lie. They claim the new lie is from some super secret intelligence source that, for security reasons, can't be revealed. (Very much like the NZ case of Ahmed Zaoui, where the so-called super secret intelligence can't be revealed as to why Zaoui is still imprisoned without a charge or a reason.

...........In either case, both Bush and Cheney by their behavior have no claim to credibility on this purported connection between Saddam and 9/11 period, and it calls into question their credibility on 9/11 to begin with.

This LA Times article shows that the neocons and their policies have Bush's support. Their increasing influence and war plans may be only in the beginning. Another terrorist attack or other incident, may influence the electorate to re-elect Bush, if his PR crew and the media present it well.

George Bush, Tony Blair and John Howard for War Crimes against humanity and the planet.
The indictment is to be held in Christchurch Cathedral Square on AUGUST 7, 2004 and around the world

The following shows how the fate of the earth can hang on the judgement of one man. Reading this article makes one realise that humanity has been very lucky not to have had a nuclear war and the end of civilization before now. Every day is really a gift of borrowed time.

Shortly before 5pm yesterday the Australian Senate passed a motion put by Democrat Senator Lyn Alison recognising that on 26 September 1983, the world had come frighteningly close to nuclear annihilation. It was saved by the reluctance of duty officer Colonel Stanislav Petrov of the Soviet missile corps to press a flashing red button that would have initiated an automatic sequence that would have sent 15,000 warheads to incinerate the US and its allies.
This would most likely have ended civilisation and most life.

"Your government failed you," Mr Clarke told the hearing, turning to the relatives of those who died and who had come to Washington to hear his testimony. "Those entrusted with protecting you failed you. And I failed you. We tried hard, but that doesn't matter, because we failed."

George Bush's unprovoked invasion of Iraq, based on lies and faulty intelligence, including a greater illingness to use nuclear weapons, and violation of international treaties, shows that the U.S. has become more of a threat to world peace, than a few "mad mullahs and madder adherents" as claimed by Michael Laws (6/6/04).

Everyone likes to say, "Hitler did this," and "Hitler did that." But the truth is Hitler did very little. He was a world class tyrant, but the evil actually done by the Third Reich, from the death camps to WWII, was all done by German citizens who were afraid to question if what they were told by their government was the truth or not, and who, because they did not want to admit to themselves that they were afraid to question the government, refused to see the truth behind the Reichstag Fire, refused to see the invasion by Poland was a staged fake, and followed Hitler into national disaster.

Dear Friends - I thought you may share my concern.
If you support Nuclear Free New Zealand then please take a look at this website. http://www.nuclearfree.org.nz/archives
It is vital that New Zealand maintains its Nuclear Freedom and does not give in to US pressure or Don Brash and the National Party. New Zealand acts as a beacon of hope and sanity in the world by being brave enough to stand for an end to nuclear proliferation. We do not want nuclear weapons or nuclear power in this country. NZ must continue to hold this position in order to help the whole world because we could all be destroyed by nuclear weapons.             See what you can do

For some time now, I have been searching for answers to a deeply perplexing question: Why is the United States promoting the spread of atomic bombs worldwide?
By "atomic bombs" I mean the kind that turned Hiroshima and Nagasaki into a fiery hell in 1945 -- A-bombs made from plutonium (Nagasaki) or "enriched" uranium (Hiroshima).

John Howard's Melbourne speech (May 26) ommitted key facts in order to justify Australia's continued participation in one of history's most fraudulent wars.

The problem is that labeling and demonizing a people as evil is easy.
However, eliminating them after malicious classification is impossible.

...........This can lead to endless and very expensive military commitments for wars most New Zealanders don't believe in, such as the Iraq war. We could be locked into wars that become nuclear. Other risks include becoming a nuclear target, nuclear ship accidents in our ports, contamination of our food products, terrorist attacks, and loss of sovereignty. Our international influence and reputation would drop, including the trade and tourism attracted by New Zealand's courageous and independent nuclear-free stand. These are some of the possible results if a National government makes New Zealand an unquestioning 'cannon fodder' colony.
Better to "Keep NZ Nuclear Free".

We could become a neutral international peacemaker as well, a mediator/facilitator, as we did in the Bougainville war, and working for human survival in a planet that still is today, more than ever, threatened by a nuclear war doomsday.........
...Those who become politically active will ensure that National does not get elected to implement a destruction of the nuclear free law, and follow the US into any war. If you fail our children and grandchildren may suffer the consequences.

Bush and Blair will share in the historic guilt, Israel will bear for the crimes of Sharon, writes Haim Bresheeth*
Like a ventriloquist dummy speaking the words of its master, we heard the world's most powerful man reciting a script written in Jerusalem by one responsible for bathing the Middle East in blood for decades. This most bizarre spectacle -- Bush unable to answer a simple question, repeating key phrases like a broken automaton -- was then followed by the even more bizarre suggestion by Blair that this was not a departure from what was policy in Washington and London for decades.

The pictures are appalling, the words devastating. As a wounded Iraqi crawls from beneath a burning truck, an American helicopter pilot tells his commander that one of three men has survived his night air attack. "Someone wounded," the pilot cries. Then he received the reply: "Hit him, hit the truck and him." As the helicopter's gun camera captures the scene on video, the pilot fires a 30mm gun at the wounded man, vaporising him in a second.

......... They're not campaigning. They have not instructed their individual-state campaign managers. In 34 of the 50 states, they haven't even bothered to print any political paraphernalia - posters, handbills, pens, and bumper stickers. What does that tell you?"

Senate Hearings Begin on Negroponte Iraq Appointment
COMMENT FROM SISTER LAETITIA BORDES: "I'm filled with sadness. I'm filled with fear. I fear for the people of Iraq, because I feel that John Negroponte certainly is not concerned about the democracy of Iraq. I think that John Negroponte is concerned about his reputation. He is an expert in counter insurgency tactics. We see that in his background. And John Negroponte will stop at nothing. At nothing."

Local Iraqis in Christchurch have united to call on NZ and US to withdraw troops and described how US media have grossly distorted the true picture. (See Chch Press story section B Page 2 on April 14, 2004.) Iraqis call for NZ to get out

Busting the liars:   Karen Kwiatkowski    her Web reports
After two decades in the U.S. Air Force, Lieutenant Colonel Karen Kwiatkowski, now 43, knew her career as a regional analyst was coming to an end when — in the months leading up to the war in Iraq — she felt she was being “propagandized” by her own bosses.
With master’s degrees from Harvard in government and zoology and two books on Saharan Africa to her credit, she found herself transferred in the spring of 2002 to a post as a political/military desk officer at the Defense Department’s office for Near East South Asia (NESA), a policy arm of the Pentagon.

The crisis in Haiti is another case of brazen US manipulation of a small, impoverished country. Much of the media portrayed President Jean-Bertrand Aristide as an undemocratic leader who betrayed Haiti's democratic hopes and thereby lost the support of his erstwhile backers. He "stole" elections and intransigently refused to address opposition concerns. As a result he had to leave office, which he did on Sunday at the insistence of the US and France. Unfortunately, this is a very distorted view.

In my research I came across this extraordinary documentation of the laws enacted over the years in the US, that curtail, discourage or punish dissent or protest against the official line. It seems quite clear that America is forfeiting it's reputation as home of the brave and the free, and becoming more of a theocratic dynasty or plutocracy. Or a Fascist state - American style.

"The Neoconservative Plan for Global Dominance" and "Homeland Security Threatens Civil Liberty" are listed as Project Censored's most underreported stories for 2002-2003. The New York Times runs an editorial on black box voting, drawing widespread attention to the possibility of rigged elections in 2004.
Given our recent history, if freedom were to be undermined, how would we know for sure?

The doomsday scenario was laid out by Gen. Tommy Franks, the recently retired head of CentCom, in of all places the December edition of Cigar Aficionado magazine.
"What is the worst thing that can happen in our country?" Franks asked rhetorically. "Two steps. The first step would be a nexus between weapons of mass destruction . . . and terrorism." The second step would be "the western world, the free world, loses what it cherishes most, and that is freedom and liberty we've seen for a couple of hundred years in this grand experiment that we call democracy."     St. Petersburg Times

The War Party's Waterloo
Get out the dip and chips, pull up a chair and let the show trial begin!

We must not give up on the media - we must not assume that the media's shameless promotion of George Bush is immutable - for if the corporate media continues its present course and repeats its performance of 2000, Bush has a lock on the election.
