NEXT 9/11-TYPE ATTACK

By IFTEKHAR A. KHAN
in The Nation Newsletter

President-elect Obama shares Bush's view that the next 9/11 type attack would originate from FATA. Can the superpower subdue the valiant Afghans and consolidate its rule in the war-torn country? Is the insurgency in FATA, which is essentially the fallout of Afghan war, our war as made out at great pains by our government?

The next 9/11-type attack could trigger from FATA only if the first one did, therefore, Bush's and Obama's contentions about FATA are preposterous. A large majority round the world understands that the Taliban had no link with it. The space-age operation was beyond the capability of stone-age rustics. It was an inside job by the intelligence networks with enormous resources at their disposal. Mossad and rogue elements in CIA were the most likely perpetrators hence no serious inquiry commission was set-up.

Historically, inquiry commission for Pearl Harbour was instituted within seven days, Titanic sinking-six days, Challenger disaster-seven days, JFK assassination-7 days but 9/11 had to wait for 441 days. What was the dithering about?

Information technology has greatly progressed, with information gleaned from Internet having become a household affair among the thinking public. The in-camera briefing to the informed parliamentarians, therefore, failed to convince them as expected. Even if the parliamentarians were convinced the people could not have taken the bait that the War On Terror is our war. It cannot be. We are fighting to promote US interests in the region and are being paid for it. On a larger canvas US troops in Iraq, Afghanistan and ME are pipelines-protection troops, while War On Terror is only a subterfuge to delude the gullible.

We are expected to believe that suicide attacks in our cities are the outcome of religious extremism poured out from neighbouring Afghanistan. Was there a single incident of suicide attack during the decade long indigenous struggle against Russia? Similarly, was there any incident of suicide attack in Iraq before the US invasion? When we fight at the behest of a rapacious foreign power, we must be ready to bear the consequences. And the consequences are borne by the downtrodden, the shirtless, not by the hermetically secured oligarchy.

Some think that strikes in FATA by US drones are due to lack of credible intelligence. It's a misconception. The truth is that missile strikes are meant to harass and annihilate the local population to compel it to vacate its ancestral dwellings to create a corridor of US domination.

Moreover, the US plans to lay oil pipelines through Afghanistan, FATA, Balochistan and Gwadar. The wanton killing in the FATA is part of its grand design to exploit oil and gas resources of the Central Asian States. Recently Adm Mullen told Los Angles Times that the American forces had secured bases north of Islamabad to train Pakistani soldiers. But Asia Times Online reported that the situation on the ground revealed much more than a training programme. In September, about 300 US trainers landed at the facility. Hasanpur airstrip near Tarbela that has been upgraded to war readiness with new hangers built for the military aircraft. Perhaps drone strikes in FATA would now be launched from the newly acquired base.

DON'T LET BUSH PARDON HIMSELF!

Dear Some of The Above News,

Congratulations on the fabulous and historic election of President Barack Obama!!!

As we celebrate our new President-elect and all the changes he will bring to our nation, we must not turn a blind eye to the final actions of George Bush.

Incredibly, Washington is already buzzing with Bush's plans to block all investigations of his crimes and even to pardon everyone involved - including Cheney and himself. Chris Matthews is even counting down the days .

Does Bush have the power to pardon everyone in his administration? Yes.

Will he abuse that power to stay out of jail? Only if we let him.

We must create a groundswell of opposition to any pardons by George Bush, so he understands that he will be impeached and prosecuted for issuing corrupt pardons.

Please help us launch a massive movement against pardons by signing our petition to Congress and telling your friends:

We will announce additional plans to stop Bush's pardons in the coming days. Read more about our efforts and join our discussion here:

Thanks for all you do!

From: TAX CUTS: The B.S. And The Facts

By Larry Beinhart, AlterNet. Posted November 11,
2008.

That tax cuts stimulate the economy is taken as a matter of
faith, but the brute facts suggest otherwise.

THE MYTH:

Do tax cuts stimulate the economy?

Yes. Tax cuts allow people to keep more of their own money.
Therefore, they have more to invest and spend into the
economy, and they have more money to start business and
create jobs, therefore also helping to stimulate the
economy. -- Yahoo Answers

I think when people take a look back at this moment in our
economic history, they'll recognize tax cuts work. They
have made a difference. -- George W. Bush

THE REALITIES:

The brute facts are these:

Large income tax cuts are followed by a bubble and then a
crash.

High income taxes correlate with economic growth.

Income tax increases are followed by economic growth.

Moderate income tax cuts are followed by a flat economy.

All of this is especially true as applied to the top tax
rates, the amount paid on income that exceeds the highest
bracket.

The Three Great Tax Cuts: Boom, Bubble, Crash

1. Hoover

During World War I, the top marginal tax rate went up to 73
percent -- not the highest ever, but pretty high.

In 1922, a series of rate cuts began. Down to 56 percent,
46 percent, and finally, in 1925, it went down to 25
percent.

The stock market took off. There was a boom. But the boom
was a bubble.

It was followed by the Great Crash of 1929.

There were bank failures and the Great Depression.

2. Reagan:

A RENDEZVOUS WITH DESTINY

Governments can err, presidents do make mistakes, but the
immortal Dante tells us that Divine justice weighs the sins
of the cold-blooded and the sins of the warm-hearted on
different scales.

Better the occasional faults of a government that lives in
a spirit of charity than the consistent omissions of a
government frozen in the ice of its own indifference.

There is a mysterious cycle in human events. To some
generations much is given. Of other generations much is
expected. This generation of Americans has a rendezvous with
destiny.

An Efficient Way to Spread Truth That Everyone Can Do
By Colombo

Since our mainstream media continue to censor 9/11 truth, I
urge everyone to begin “mass emailing” 9/11 truth
messages now! It is not difficult to
disseminate thousands of emails per day. Here are some tips
to get you started:

SUPER TERMITE FELLED WTC on 9/11?

Iraq war veteran and experienced demolitions expert blows
the cover on 9/11
inside job:

Meet Torin Wolf. He has a broad and varied background as a
US Army Combat Nurse during Operation Iraqi Freedom....

....The presentation moves on and goes through some of the
just plain crazy
theories of why the towers fell, such as space beams,
holograms, missiles, orbs, pterodactyls, etc., and easily
debunks them. Torin then adds, "There isevidence most
of these are put out by the government as disinfo."
Then
explains how the White House, in violation of the law, has
bought 28 billion, "Billion with a B" in fake
news.

"But the craziest, most truly unhinged conspiracy
theory for the towers
falling on 9/11?" Torin asks rhetorically.
"Fire." The official
story cannot be recreated by any experiment. NIST is the
government agency
involved in attempting to model what happened to the world
trade center on 9/11, and they fail horribly....
