Leading Academic: Neo-Nazis Have Signed Us Onto WWIII


Destroying World Order: Analysing the war In Iraq and the middle east with Dr Franics A Boyle

INFOWARS

Alex Jones was joined on air this week by eminent American Professor, Dr Francis A Boyle, to discuss the current situation in Iraq, the wider implications for International Relations and the ruthless mentality of the Straussian neoconservatives that have seized global power in the twenty first century.

Boyle is a leading American professor, practitioner and advocate of international law. He was responsible for drafting the Biological Weapons Anti-Terrorism Act of 1989, the American implementing legislation for the 1972 Biological Weapons Convention. He served on the Board of Directors of Amnesty International (1988-1992), and represented Bosnia- Herzegovina at the World Court. Professor Boyle teaches international law at the University of Illinois, Champaign. He holds a Doctor of Law Magna Cum Laude as well as a Ph.D. in Political Science, both from Harvard University.

Dr Boyle began by referring to the event that has shaken up the case for escalation of the war in Iraq and disgusted a great deal of the international community, the execution of Saddam Hussein.

Dr Boyle stressed that he believes that execution was very carefully staged managed with the intention to deliberately stir up sectarian violence and thus vindicate the Bush strategy of escalation.
"We have to understand that this entire show trial was organised directly out of the White House. It had already been reported, even in the New York Times, that there was a lawyer on the White House staff who was in charge of running the whole thing. They were running this whole show, it was all paid for by the United States." said Boyle.

"The Death Penalty for him came down just before the November elections, the execution itself, the hanging, lynching, I don't know what else you'd call it, was designed for political reasons. His execution under these circumstances violated the third Geneva convention of 1949. We had originally designated him as a prisoner of war, which the convention prohibited, setting up this kangaroo court proceeding that was run out of the White House."

The trial was strictly controlled because had it not been mountains of evidence would have poured forth detailing how criminal elements within the US government brought Saddam to power, maintained him in office, underwrote his tyranny, and rewarded his aggression.

Dr Boyle suggested that the timing of the execution served two purposes, first it was a good way to try and get out of the press the fact that the 3000th dead US soldier in Iraq was fast approaching. Executing Saddam was orchestrated to try and distract public attention according to the Professor.

Secondly Dr Boyle believes the execution was rushed forward in order to intentionally stir up violence in the region and thus provide a pretext to send more troops into the middle east:

"There is the other factor of deliberately stirring up animosity between the Shia and the and the Sunni, which this lynching was also designed to do." Boyle said.

Dr Boyle went on to say that National Security Advisors and leading Neocon hawks Elliott Abrams and Stephen Hadley gave the green light to deliberately stir up sectarian tensions, not only in Iraq between the Shia and the Sunni, but also in the Muslim world. So they picked the holiest day, Eid al-Adha, giving the go ahead to lynch Saddam knowing full well that it would stir up tensions all across the middle east.

"If you look at the wire services today you will see that they have now turned Saddam Hussein into a martyr. Now I've done a lot of work in the Arab and Muslim world and prior to this everyone I knew just thought Saddam Hussein was pretty much a butcher. But now they have turned him into a martyr and this is fine as far as the Neoconservative is concerned." Boyle stated.

He pointed out that the same philosophy is being used today as was used by the United States during the Iran/Iraq war, as Henry Kissinger said, 'we want them all to kill each other off'.

The globalist power mongers do not want a stable Arab and Muslim world because it would provide for a significant challenge to Western dominance of energy supplies and also diminish the arms industry greatly.

Dr Boyle has intimate knowledge of the mentality of those now running the show as he went through the same PhD program at Harvard as Henry Kissinger and Zbigniew Brzezinski, and had the same International Relations teacher, Hans Morgenthau, whom many consider to be the father of International Relations as an independent discipline. Dr Boyle stated that when he was 21 years old Morgenthau offered to call up Kissinger and get Boyle a job on his White House Staff, which he declined. Dr Boyle also went to university at the same time as Wolfowitz, Ashcroft and other leading Neocons.

"You have to understand the neocon mentality, as I was saying, I went to the university of Chicago, the home of the neocons, I entered there in 1968 as an undergraduate. Their founder Leo Strauss had just retired from the political science department, but i was trained by his foremost student and protege, co-author and literary executor Joseph Cropsey. So I went right through the entire Neocon Program." Dr Boyle asserted.

"They are still going forward with their plans to re-carve up the middle east and re-make it in the neoconservative image. They encouraged the Israel "war", massacre, whatever you want to call it against Lebanon and Israel's war massacre against the Palestinians, both this Summer. And now they are planning for a war against Iran, a bombing campaign that very well could turn into world war three. And that would not bother them at all these Neoconservatives, indeed from their perspective how else are they going to retrieve this situation?"

Dr Boyle described the heritage that the neocon elite are carrying on. Basically put they follow the doctrine of Chicago University political stalwart Leo Strauss. Strauss's mentor in Germany, before he emigrated to the United States, was Carl Schmitt. Carl Schmitt went on to become the most notorious Nazi law professor of that era, justifying every hideous atrocity that the Nazis inflicted on anyone.

Boyle continued,

"The Neocons, through Strauss, and there is a book here if you are interested by Professor Shadia Drury... the Neocons have been thoroughly schooled in Straussian and Schmittian theory, which is basically Nazi, and these people really are neo-nazis. We have to understand that, and I think people have a difficult time coming to grips with it because it seems so alien to our tradition.

I spent seven years at Harvard getting three degrees after the university of Chicago, and again going through this exact same program that produced Kissinger and Brzezinski, because I wanted to be trained exactly like these people, and think like them, know what they're up to and hopefully come out and turn it against them."

The professor believes that what we are seeing now is the endgame, the 'go for broke' strategy. These neo-nazis, the neocons from Chicago, and President Bush, who at one point publicly bragged that he had appointed at least twenty Straussian neocons to his administration, are going for world domination and control.

The wars in Afghanistan and Iraq were pre-planned for quite some time, by the Israelis and by the Pentagon. They have been executed to seize and steal at least two thirds of the world's energy resources, which the power elite plan to hold on to. According to Dr Boyle, this is the future of the world economy, they are not going to give it up.

They understood that if they made this major grab for world power, by launching brutal aggression against Iraq and Afghanistan and perhaps now Iran, if we don't stop them, and Syria, that there would be massive resistance by the American people.

Dr Boyle compared the current situation to that of the Vietnam war, encouraging peaceful non-violent civil resistance in order to expose the criminals that wish to escalate war purely to make money and gain more power to do as they will.

"Harvard has learned nothing from the Vietnam war, they still train major war criminals and warmongers such as Kissinger, at Harvard today as we speak.

The Strategy all along was to destroy Iraq as a viable nation state, because, if you read Huntington's Clash Of Civilizations, as he pointed out, Iraq was probably the only Arab nation state that could have provided leadership to the Arab world in a confrontation with the West over the energy supplies. So Iraq had to be destroyed." Boyle urged.

Guardsmen overrun at the Border

AZCENTRAL

A U.S. Border Patrol entry Identification Team site was overrun Wednesday night along Arizona's border with Mexico.

According to the Border Patrol, an unknown number of gunmen attacked the site in the state's West Desert Region around 11 p.m. The site is manned by National Guardsmen. Those guardsmen were forced to retreat.

The Border Patrol will not say whether shots were fired. However, no Guardsmen were injured in the incident.

The Border Patrol says the incident occurred somewhere along the 120 mile section of the border between Nogales and Lukeville. The area is known as a drug corridor. Last year, 124-thousand pounds of illegal drugs were confiscated in this area.

The Border patrol says the attackers quickly retreated back into Mexico.

U.S. OR ISRAELI ATTACK ON IRAN COULD CONTAMINATE MIDDLE EAST

INFOWARS.COM

If the U.S. or Israel attack Iranian nuclear power facilities "huge amounts
of radioactive material will be lofted into the air to contaminate the
people of Iran and surrounding countries," an eminent international
authority on nuclear weapons warns.

"This fallout will induce cancers, leukemia, and genetic disease in these
populations for years to come, both a medical catastrophe and a war crime of
immense proportions," Dr. Helen Caldicott writes in her new book, "Nuclear
Power Is Not The Answer," published by The New Press.

Dr. Caldicott said the Pentagon has met with its Israeli counterparts "to
discuss the participation of Israel in plans to attack Iran" even though
President Bush said "this notion that the United States is getting ready to
attack Iran is simply ridiculous."

Citing the accidental meltdown of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in the
Ukraine in April, 1986, as an example of what can happen when radioactivity
is released, she termed it a "medical catastrophe (that) will continue to
plague much of Russia, Belarus, the Ukraine, and Europe for the rest of
time." Between 5,000 and 10,000 people have died prematurely to date, she
said.

Between 1986 and 2001, Belarus suffered 8,358 cases of thyroid cancer as a
result of the Chernobyl meltdown, and most of the afflicted have had their
thyroids surgically removed, leaving them dependent on thyroid medications
for the rest of their lives, said Dr. Caldicott, a physician and
anti-nuclear activist. She writes the areas of Europe, and its populations,
afflicted by the Chernobyl accident will suffer from its impact "for
thousands of years."

Dr. Caldicott noted Israel, along with Pakistan and India, are "rogue
nations, outlaws who choose not to abide by international law" for their
refusal to sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty(NPT). "Understandably,
the Arab states resent the IAEA's intrusions on Iran, as the United States
accuses it of a covert but un-proven nuclear weapons program, whereas
Israel, also a covert nuclear state but a close U.S. ally, receives no such
scrutiny."

"It is unwise and dangerous for Israel to possess a nuclear arsenal," she
pointed out, as "such weapons are highly provocative for Israel's Arab
neighbors" and their presence "actively encourages Arab states to build
their own."

One or two nuclear bombs landing on the tiny Israeli nation would obliterate
it," Dr. Caldicott said. "Or, conversely, if a large conventional weapon
landed on Dimona (the Negev Nuclear Research Center), the ensuing meltdown
would kill millions of people."

Dr. Caldicott said "the Bush administration has adopted some very
provocative and dangerous policies --- all of them in direct violation of
the Non-Proliferation Treaty---which inevitably have led and will continue
to lead to the proliferation of nuclear weapons in other countries."

She charged Bush has drafted a revised plan allowing military commanders to
request presidential approval to use nuclear weapons to preempt an attack by
a nation or terrorist group deemed to be planning to use WMD.

"The 'revised plan' reflects a preemptive nuclear strategy first enunciated
by the White House in 2002. Had this strategy been in place before the
invasion of Iraq, a nuclear attack could have been justified to 'take out'
Iraq's imaginary WMD," Dr. Caldicott wrote.

Under the NPT, Dr. Caldicott said, Iran is "perfectly entitled to pursue a
uranium enrichment program for peaceful purposes" and she noted in the past
"Iran was actively encouraged by the United States to develop its own
nuclear power program."

She quoted Tony Benn, a former British M.P., stating that when he was
secretary of state for energy "enormous pressure was put on me...to agree to
sell nuclear power stations" to the Shah of Iran, "who had been put on the
throne by the U.S." Benn said the pressure came from the Atomic Energy
Authority and U.S. manufacturer Westinghouse, "who were anxious to promote
their own design of reactor."

Dr. Caldicott said, "Having initially encouraged Iran to develop nuclear
capabilities, the United States now has plans to bomb Iran with nuclear
weapons for doing so."

Dr. Caldicott not only opposes development, stockpiling, and deployment of
nuclear weapons but the use of nuclear plants for supplying energy as well
on grounds they are inherently dangerous -- as meltdowns at Chernobyl and
Three Mile Island in the U.S. on March 28, 1979, demonstrated.

Additionally, she contends the extraction of the world's dwindling supply of
uranium ore for reactors is very costly and contributes greatly to the
greenhouse effect, just the opposite of the nuclear power industry's
contention nuclear plants are environmentally friendly.

Selassie on freedom

JAMAICA GLEANER

It is known that 'You can't please all of the people all of the time', so I was prepared for the fact that my advice "Forgive slavery, forget reparations" would not be welcomed in all quarters.

I was thankful for the positive discussion that resulted, yet I was very surprised at the abusive, negative response from one source, especially since when I had asked this person to work with me for reparations, he publicly declined.

The main reason for my realisation that the fight for reparations is a lost cause is that in my experience, while many people talk about it, no one is interested in funding the work necessary to acquire it.

Using my own limited personal resources and efforts for the past five years have been an act of service that has made many objectives unattainable, both for the cause and especially for myself.

I have tried unsuccessfully for the past five years to obtain other resources from both prominent, wealthy members of the Rasta community, as well as Government sources, with all showing disinterest in keeping the work going. The general public showed less interest, as the various conferences and meetings I organised for the Jamaica Reparations Movement were poorly attended. I had to ask myself: Who is really interested in reparations?

This being the reality, I found myself unable to continue this solitary hardship, so I realised it was best to leave the matter to others and move on, resigning in August from the chair of the Reparations Sub-Committee of the JNHT bicentenary committee.

Selassie on freedom

Months later, thinking about the implications of slavery that would be forefront in 2007, I read these words of Emperor Haile Selassie on freedom: "We must put to the best use the rich heritage of our past for, in that way, and in that way alone can we live to the highest standard set by our forefathers. We hope the future generations will realise the magnitude of sacrifices that were required to accomplish all the works, so that they may preserve it as gain.

"Africa has been reborn as a free continent and Africans have been reborn as free men. The blood that was shed and the sufferings that were endured, are today Africa's advocates for freedom and unity. The glories and advantages of freedom cannot be purchased with all the world's material wealth."

The thought came to me that instead of us seeking "the world's material wealth", a powerful act of forgiveness by a people so wronged could stir a global response that could result in us achieving all the goals of reparations.

Along with this thought came the realisation that the faith I believe in requires forgiveness as I pray it each day in the Lords Prayer.

All this inspired me to write that article and suggest we look forward, not backwards, and work to make Jamaica greater.

Time will tell if my article was just the rantings of a misguided old lady and a reason for my demise, as some 'diehards' believe. but, as Observer columnist Geof Brown wrote in his comments on the article: "Such may fail to see that pride in one's race and concern for its well-being do not exclude mutual dependency for mutual benefit."

This year is observed in Ethiopia as Year 2000, the Millenium Year. Those who live by the teachings of His Imperial Majesty, Emperor Haile Selassie I can do no better than to heed his words. One love.

I am, etc.,

Bin Laden´s top aide urges Somalis to attack Ethiopia

CCTV INTERNATIONAL

Osama bin Laden's top aide has urged Somali Islamists to launch an Iraq-style guerrilla campaign of suicide attacks and ambushes against Ethiopian forces in Somalia.

This, in an audio tape posted on the Internet on Friday.

Al Qaeda's deputy leader, Ayman al-Zawahri, said in the tape that the world's strongest power was defeated by the campaigns of the Mujahideen troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.

And in similar fashion, he says Ethiopian forces will be defeated in the Muslim land of Somalia.

Cindy Sheehan protests the Democrats

THE WASHINGTON TIMES

Cindy Sheehan, the "peace activist" who famously besieged President Bush at Prairie Chapel Ranch, yesterday routed the leaders of the new House Democratic majority from their press conference where they attempted to present their legislative agenda.

Chants of "de-escalate, investigate, troops home now," drowned out the new majority leaders, including Rep. Rahm Emanuel of Illinois, the chairman of the Democratic House Caucus.

The flustered lawmakers retreated to a room behind closed doors, and surrendered the field to Mrs. Sheehan, whose son, an Army soldier, was killed in Iraq in 2004.

With her quarry in full retreat, she scolded Speaker-elect Nancy Pelosi for abandoning the war issue in the agenda for the first 100 hours of the 110th Congress, which convenes today. The agenda focuses on other promises from last year's campaigns, including raising the minimum wage, stricter ethics rules and cutting student loan interest rates.

[Visit a post in the Editor's Blog related to this article.]

"Speaker Pelosi and the Democratic leadership can no longer tell us what is on the table," Mrs. Sheehan said. "We are the ones that put them in power and they are not including the peace movement. ... It needs to be at least included in the discussion."

She demanded the elimination of funding for the war, an investigation and impeachment of President Bush for what she called "lies" to justify the war.

Mrs. Sheehan was leading about 75 others lobbying congressional offices when they happened upon the press conference. The Democrats were there to present new ethics proposals as part of the 100-hour agenda with which they plan to begin the House majority today.

"Iraq is a high priority for Democrats," said Pelosi spokeswoman Jennifer Crider, and a legislative agenda was not the place to address the war issue.

She said the call last year from Rep. John P. Murtha, Pennsylvania Democrat, for troop withdrawal "changed the course of the debate [and] sent a signal that Democrats will stand up and hold the administration accountable."

Mrs. Pelosi did not attend the press conference.

After the interruption by the Sheehan-led activists, Mr. Emanuel and other top Democrats returned to the microphone and, in response to reporters' questions, addressed some of Mrs. Sheehan's demands.

"Well, we're going to do the one thing that's been missing ... and that's oversight," Mr. Emanuel said. "We have had a policy where the Congress -- from resources to strategy -- has abdicated its responsibility of overseeing an administration's foreign policy in that area. And the American people, both in blood, treasure, and prestige, is now paying the price for a Congress that abdicated its responsibility."

Mr. Emanuel promised hearings on the war that would answer the types of questions Mrs. Sheehan and the voters are asking.

"That is the most important thing to do, because when you have questions asked, you do not get a Congress that just rubber-stamps the policy," he said. "Now you see the consequence of a rubber-stamp policy, which is what we have in Iraq."

After the press conference, Mrs. Sheehan told reporters that Democrats had abandoned the party's grass-roots anti-war supporters as soon as the election was over.

"I'm disappointed to see that they are talking about giving the president more money for the war," she said. "I'm disappointed to hear that impeachment is off the table. We are here to let them know that we are setting the table now."

Most analysts credited the Iraq war issue with fueling anti-Republican sentiment that propelled Democrats to a congressional majority for the first time in 12 years.

Bush says feds can open mail without warrants

usatoday

President Bush has "quietly claimed sweeping new powers to open Americans' mail without a judge's warrant," the New York Daily News writes this morning.

When he put his signature on a postal reform bill on Dec. 20, the newspaper notes, the president added a "signing statement" that "declared his right to open people's mail under emergency conditions."

The key phrase in that statement:

"The executive branch shall construe subsection 404(c) of title 39, as enacted by subsection 1010(e) of the Act, which provides for opening of an item of a class of mail otherwise sealed against inspection, in a manner consistent, to the maximum extent permissible, with the need to conduct searches in exigent circumstances, such as to protect human life and safety against hazardous materials, and the need for physical searches specifically authorized by law for foreign intelligence collection."

According to the Daily News, legal experts say the president's claim is "contrary to existing law and contradicted the bill he had just signed."

White House spokeswoman Emily Lawrimore, though, told the Daily News that "in certain circumstances -- such as with the proverbial 'ticking bomb' -- the Constitution does not require warrants for reasonable searches."

Word of Bush's action follows revelations last year about the National Security Agency's so-called warrantless eavesdropping on telephone and Internet communications.

While the president's signing statement went mostly unnoticed at first, a few bloggers and websites did make note of it just before New Year's:

• Care2 News Network -- according to an IceRocket search -- may have been first, on Dec. 28.

• My Cigar Experience called the statement "particularly alarming" on Dec. 29.

• Justin Gardner at Donklephant said Dec. 30 that "Bush has created hundreds of de facto "laws" that nobody has to approve and few even know about. This ... just seems flat out wrong."

Sat Nav for Mexicans illegally entering US

London Telegraph

Illegal immigrants planning to cross the desert and enter the US on foot are to be given hand-held satellite devices by the Mexican authorities to ensure they arrive safely.

Those who get lost or fall sick during the dangerous four-day crossing will be able to activate the device, to alert frontier police on both sides of the border.

The satellite tracking service will require would-be illegals to register their intentions before setting off — a paradoxical move, given that secrecy is necessary for success — but Mexican authorities are predicting that about 200,000 devices will be handed out when the project is launched formally in the coming year.

"Our intention is to save lives," said Jaime Obregon, the co-ordinator for the state commission for migrants in Puebla, the Mexican state which is behind the project. "There are lots of people looking to cross and we are working with the US authorities to make sure they do not die on the way."

Between 20 and 30 migrants succumb to hellish temperatures and insect bites while attempting to cross into Arizona every year. Heat exhaustion sometimes causes short-term memory loss, with trekkers wandering aimlessly into the desert.

The route into Arizona, known as the Sasave Pass, is both the most common and the most dangerous way into the US. According to Mexican state migrant authorities, up to 75,000 attempt the crossing every month, of whom between 50,000 and 60,000 are caught by US border patrols and sent back.

The chance of success depends greatly on the knowledge of the guide, known as a "coyote" or "desert fox". They charge between $2,000 and $10,000 per person (£1,025-£5,100).

Coyotes are merciless if a member of their pack lags behind. "If you cannot keep up they will abandon you." said Mr Obregon. "Alone, you have about 36 hours to live. It is in this period the satellite device makes a difference."

A spokesman for US Customs and Border Protection said: "We do not have any information about the Mexican government providing satellite trackers to people, but we strongly discourage encouragement to people who are attempting to cross illegally into the US."
