ImpeachBush.org,

Below is an important message from former U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark about the upcoming September 15 mass march and rally in Washington DC. ImpeachBush.org, the organization Ramsey Clark founded, and hundreds of other impeachment organizations are mobilizing with the anti-war movement for the September 15 Mass March.

The latest this decision can come is Friday, September 28 - the last business day in the 2007 fiscal year. The impeachment movement is bringing thousands of people to join with the anti-war movement on September 15 to insist that Congress uphold its Constitutional mandate and introduce articles of impeachment against George W. Bush and Dick Cheney for High Crimes and Misdemeanors. Be in Washington DC on September 15 to make your voice heard!

'CIA worked with Pak to create Taliban'
rawa.org,

CIA director William Casey backed a plan by Pakistan's intelligence agency, the ISI, to recruit people from around the world to join the Afghan jihad. More than 100,000 Islamic militants were trained in Pakistan between 1986 and 1992, in camps overseen by the CIA and Britain's MI6, with the British SAS trained future al Qaeda and Taliban fighters in bomb-making and other black arts. Their leaders were trained at a CIA camp in Virginia. This was called Operation Cyclone and continued long after the Soviets had withdrawn in 1989.

Resist to Live: Interview with Don Benjamin
elias lawless,

In some respects, Don Benjamín is one of the lucky ones, a survivor.

As a 35-year-old indigenous peasant from Guatemala’s western highlands, he has pushed the limits of survival, beyond what many could ever imagine – outlasting a genocide aimed at him and other Maya civilians in the 1980s and 90s: a strategic, government-sponsored crusade that left him orphaned as a young teenager, fleeing into the mountainous backcountry, eluding army search squads and aerial bombardments.

In the early 1980s, those who resolved to attempt prolonging their survival by living in hiding among the wilderness formed the Communities of Population in Resistance (CPR). As a member of the CPR for nearly a decade and a half, Don Benjamín not only confronted repeated military attacks, he often lacked shelter and clothing amid dangerously chilly weather, and constantly battled hunger.

He did not re-emerge from the CPR until after the signing of the Peace Accords in December 1996, which officially ended the military’s so-called “counterinsurgency” operations against Guatemala’s Maya population, implemented under the guise of hunting guerrilla fighters.

A few years later, a truth commission sponsored by the United Nations (UN) found that more than 200,000 people had been killed in the conflict -- the overwhelming majority Maya -- establishing the bloodshed in Guatemala as one of the deadliest genocides in our hemisphere’s modern history...
Don Benjamín, member of the Association for Justice and Reconciliation, talks about surviving Guatemala’s genocide against the Maya and the current indigenous-led struggle to demand justice.--Read More--

CIA funds tech start-ups
Star-Ledger ,

Hopelessly lagging the freewheeling high-tech entrepreneurs of the day, the nation's spy agency recognized it needed better access to cutting-edge technologies to carry out its mission of collecting, analyzing and communicating intelligence data. But rather than sending covert agents, the agency took a more direct approach: It began knocking on doors with money. And for once, the CIA made no secret of its plan.

The Nuclear Weapons Lab Bombing Range
Bob Nichols, Project Censored Award Winner,

(San Francisco) - Like the bully who says "I'm going to do it anyway and there is nothing you can do about it," the huge federal government protected Lawrence Livermore Nuclear Weapons Lab refiled their "application" to increase radioactive bombing at Site 300 eight times.

The danger of the radioactive bombings at Site 300 is that people, plants and animals will absorb the tiny but deadly pieces of radioactive uranium released in the bombings. The Nuclear Weapons Lab's Bombing Range is in the open air and near the San Francisco Bay Area and San Jose's ten million people.

The so-called "depleted" uranium is the same US/UK Expeditionary Forces bombed and shot up Afghanistan, Kosovo and Iraq with in the past fifteen years. Complete studies show the uranium is about 75% as powerfully radioactive as "natural" uranium. That is still very radioactive. Depleted it is not.

Retired nuclear weapons lab physicist Marion Fulk says the submicron sized ceramic uranium aerosols are good for "killing lots of people." The kill/maim factor of 10,000 people per ton of uranium is used by the British government's MI6 Department to calculate projected Iraqi causalities. The San Francisco Bay Area's past causalities are about 230,000 people.

Deadly uranium gas does not discriminate: men, women and children are all contaminated. Tiny unborn babies, the aged and the infirm are affected most. Marin County, in the Bay Area, experienced the highest breast cancer rate in the world in the 1990s as a result. The San Francisco Chronicle said the breast cancer rate was twice what it "should" be.

The nuclear weapons lab just kept right on exploding massive amounts of cancer inducing radioactive munitions at Site 300 near San Francisco.

Now the nuclear weapons lab demands the right to increase the deadly radioactive uranium "dirty" bomb open air detonations by Eight times. The projected number of people killed or maimed in the Bay area would be one million eight hundred thousand (1,840,000) over a similar period of time as the already dead 230,000.

That is a lot of people who have to die because the nuclear weapons lab is too lazy to detonate the models of their precious global thermonuclear weapons underground.

The "deal with the devil" that the "Bay Area city fathers" made 60 years ago to snag the big highly prized payroll of the nuclear weapons labs' has mushroomed from a modest "human sacrifice" of 230,000 men, women and children to a deal breaking One Point Eight Million.

That is just too many people to sacrifice to the nuclear weapons labs and their hyper inflated claims of "national security." The deal is off as far as I am concerned. I demand to know "Why do we have to "sacrifice" anyone?"

Why don't all the law enforcement officers and District Attorneys with their cushy tax payer funded positions in the Bay Area do their job! This is random Premeditated Murder by the psychopathic killers at the nuclear weapons labs! Throw them in the slammer!

Dr Ernest Sternglass of the University of Pittsburgh was invited by President John Kennedy to talk to the US Senate in 1962 and was instrumental in the passage of the Partial Nuclear Test Ban Treaty that banned above ground thermonuclear detonations.

If they put the big nukes underground in 1962 why can't the nuclear weapons labs detonate the models of the big nukes underground in 2007? Or, are they trying to kill San Franciscans for some weird, nerdy experiment?

What other reason could there be to continue and even increase open air radioactive detonations near San Francisco? Enough is enough. It is time these monsters paid with prison time or are executed for the mass murderers they are.

Seeking Solace in the Farce of Christianity
Jeff Graves,

Christianity continues to be a threat to freedom and democratic ideals. Alhtough many Atheists are coming "out-of-the-closet", insofar as their unbelief, there are still a plethora of Christian-Fascists who espouse a religious world view wherein any dissenter is condemned. This short essay is a philisophical reflection on the state of the Christian religion in U.S. politics...

There are mainly three proposals made by the Russian President - to broaden US missile defense plans in Europe by bringing NATO into the project, which President Bush has not agreed to; to set up an "online information exchange center" in Moscow as part of the system; and similar installations in European cities with a joint radar at Azerbaijan that would protect the whole of Europe, rather than only one part of Europe.
