Gates is just another ZioNazi Liar! . . . America's Merchants of Death are supporting genocide.

"New information obtained by Amnesty researchers this week confirmed a massive shipment of U.S. weapons was delivered to Israel on March 22nd.

The administration allowed the delivery, despite clear evidence of Israeli human rights violations, some amounting to war crimes, including the controversial use of U.S. made white phosphorous munitions over densely populated areas. That's the white phosphorous that sticks to flesh and sears it until completely deprived of oxygen.

You and I need the State Department to know that they can't just plop tons of weapons into the hands of a known serious human rights violator without getting grilled.

Ask State Department officials why the U.S. would deliver these arms to Israel.

Last month, our researcher from Gaza came to Washington, DC and met with State Department officials to present our evidence of Israeli war crimes in Gaza. They told us during those meetings that they were concerned and would review our evidence.

The State Department has a moral and legal obligation to make sure U.S. weapons don't go to foreign forces with a record of committing gross human rights violations.

So, what happened? Did they decide against overwhelming evidence that Israel's actions were completely justified and didn't violate numerous international and U.S. laws? Did they put any extra restrictions on the use of these new arms?

With this new shipment just landing, we have a unique opportunity to find out exactly what happened to the State Department's review into Israel's misuse of U.S. weapons. There should be little difficulty in simply revealing the outcome of such a review. Yes we want a full embargo. But we need to be smart and push them one step at a time.

Ask the State Department officials in charge of U.S. arms exports to come clean on their findings of Israel's use of U.S. weapons in Gaza.

There is no way you and I can let tons of weapons land in Israel's hands with no questions asked.

We've got enough supporters to actually make something happen here. Send your letter now, and we'll let you know what happens.

Sincerely,

Edie, Zahir, Colby, Steve and the rest of the team tracking this issue

P.S. If you get any replies with information, please send them to us at sdaigneault@aiusa.org with "Arms for Israel" in the subject line. We'll be asking the same questions in person, and we'll let you know once we get some answers."

mr gates of iran contra

yet another nwo shill back in government via the ever revolving door

headed, but not limited to henry kissinger's negro numero uno barak obama, including all the scoundrels from the deregulation scams of the last 10 years - summers, geithner, etc

drugs, money laundering, credit swap scams, assassinations (paul wellstone), political kneecaps (spitzer), market manipulation, fantasy wars on "terror"

hey let's have a fantasy war on bad manners

its just as viable and could be fought everywhere

how about poorly realized colors - that'd be good too

the government is a gang of criminals and has been for many many years

bought and paid for

running one scam after another unceasingly

like th mafia - but without the sincerity

when will the sheeple see.......

here is a recent link - tech report - about the copious amounts of thermite that have been found and are still being found at wtc

Abstract

We have discovered distinctive red/gray chips in all the samples we have studied of the dust produced by the destruction of the World Trade Center. Examination of four of these samples, collected from separate sites, is reported in this paper. These red/gray chips show marked similarities in all four samples. One sample was collected by a Manhattan resident about ten minutes after the collapse of the second WTC Tower, two the next day, and a fourth about a week later. The properties of these chips were analyzed using optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy (XEDS), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The red material contains grains approximately 100 nm across which are largely iron oxide, while aluminum is contained in tiny plate-like structures. Separation of components using methyl ethyl ketone demonstrated that elemental aluminum is present. The iron oxide and aluminum are intimately mixed in the red material. When ignited in a DSC device the chips exhibit large but narrow exotherms occurring at approximately 430 °C, far below the normal ignition temperature for conventional thermite. Numerous iron-rich spheres are clearly observed in the residue following the ignition of these peculiar red/gray chips. The red portion of these chips is found to be an unreacted thermitic material and highly energetic.

hey the government wouldn't blow up a building- especially after they did such a lousy job at wtc in 92, to say nothing of the oaklahoma screw up

no way - that's crazy..........

finally, as spitzer found out - aig is a criminal front for the cia, covert missions, assassinations, narco trafficking, illegal wars, and so on

lately though they are simply the pig trough through which all of the other criminal syndicates otherwise known as citibank, goldman sachs, morgan stanley and let's not forget bank of nazi america get their thirty shekels after getting their other 30 shekels

now get the hell out there to your uderpaid job and get your taxes paid bcause these boys are hungry

go git

The military is moving to Terminator technology. It wants to wean itself from troops and occupation and increasingly rely on robotic technology to carry out their tasks. Robotic war machine industries are to provide jobs for pols' constituents and make war less bloody for us and more remote.

Robotics technology is projected to eventually remove much of the need for occupying forces to protect our corporate holdings overseas. The Predator program is being expanded and more high tech means of surveillance and weaponry are following in geometric progression.

Artificial intelligence is on the horizon and computers will soon outperform the human brain. The possibilities for doing good and evil can only be imagined.

So let me get this straight. This weasel was appointed by Dubya and Barry was a dupe to keep him and now Gates suddenly envisions a change in military spending ? LOL ! Gates couldn't have changed his mind overnight. Unless someone can convince me that Gates is no Rummy, I'm not buying that weasel's empty talk.

Good news highlighted in the Globe article. Hope the end is near for the F22, or at least the numbers are cut drastically, and I hope this spells the end for Ronnie Reagan and Ed Teller's "Star Wars" and anti-missile technology in general that has proven over and over to be too costly and unworkable. By the way, the comments on this piece are by and large pretty bizarre. What's happening with this CD crowd?

The comments have really started to show some wide variations from the usual commondreams comments. The readership has expanded. We are probably ready now for some real programs to deal with our problems.

We will eventually have to accept that the only way to really deal with all of the bad guys out there, is to nuke them. If we are the country that has the nukes, we should put them to use before the others that have them get onto what can be done with a good nuke. Pre-emptive first strike has been the mantra of a lot of my conservative friends, so a few megatons of nukes into Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq and Iran, should get the attention of China, Russia and Europe.

The US is the only country that has used nukes, but not with a real attempt to maximize their impact. The real justification is that there are too many people. Population has to come down. Historically disease and malnutrition have been the best at doing this, but nukes offer a new way. The devastation would be immense, but with a little planning we could have an amazing advantage. Russia is the only nation that really could do something in response, but we don't need to attack them directly. We probably have some neutron bombs that will kill people without doing too much damage to the infra structure.

We would have to go to rationing and the like to make sure that our ability to keep functioning would be ok, but establishing martial law in the US would probably be a good thing in relation to the dissolving economy. There are probably a lot of weapons in our arsenal that have passed their expiration dates as it is, so to get them into the flow of things would be a way to obtain their true value. We are the only nation with a significant Navy, so we should be able to control the flow of stuff that we need to continue operating.

There are probably political ramifications that citizens of the US would mount, but given their recent track record they will probably rally around the "nuking". Radio active fallout would most likely be focused outside the US, so that no major decontamination efforts would have to be mounted. Immigration control might be achieved simply by scanning everyone attempting to enter the US and using the degree of radioactive contamination as the means of obtaining entry.

The military is employing drugs to better equip our solders to achieve their missions, so the next step is to make sure that the average citizen has ample opportunity to become dependent upon the drugs of their choice. My feeling is that opium dens are the easiest to establish and make the population of druggies the most controllable. THX1138, a movie of what is to come, has mandatory drug use for the entire population. (We may have attained this with the use of TV!).

By reducing the world population to a billion or two, we (The USA) should be able to maintain our life style and consumption patterns. Remember that Bush the first, indicated that our life style was non negotiable.

The only difficulty that I see to this scenario, is the role of the bankers. They seem able to slip under and around all sorts of controls, that enable them to destroy the economy and environment with their uncontrollable greed and self agrandizement. If we put Home Land Security in charge of everything, then the bankers can be banned and the greater good of America can be consummated without usery, which turns out to be one item on which Islam and Christianity agree, and even those of the Jewish faith are not supposed to charge interest to those of their faith. I don't know about Hindus or Budhists, but we will have probably nuked them into subjugation.

I wonder if this will bring out any comment? What do you think? Will Home Land Security get me for stealing their ideas?

Gates is like a breathe of fresh air when compared to his predecessor.

Isreal is America and Brightons "toad" in the Middle-East. There will be wars there until the "toad" is gone.

For the past few years, I have sees the New York City police do this thing called "swarming". From minimum 12 to about 32 police cars go down major highways single file with lights flashing and spinning. I can see it going on almost daily from my window in the evening. It seems to have no immediate practical purpose. I call these parades "The Obershtumpenfeurher Brigades". (Don't know what it means, but it has the right sound).

So I looked up "swarming" to see if I could find some background about why all this gas was being used and why the particular word SWARM was chosen. I found, for instance, that there is a professor Vijay Kumar at University of Pennsylvania who is investigating how animals, birds, fish and insects behave in swarms. The ultimate purpose is to apply the findings to groups of unmanned planes or robotic vehicles for the military. How can the group be controlled in order to accomplish a mission and to respond to contingencies?

Honestly I can see the seductiveness. It is not only that Universities need grants and professors need jobs, but the pure fascinating nature of the question. Have you ever watched a flock of birds circle and swoop in the sky or a pool of minnows disperse when you put your hand in the water? How does each member of the group know how to turn? I would love to be part of a project that would try to find out, just because.

Professors could easily convince themselves that their research is pure inquiry. It could just as well be applied to prevent frothing pods of consumers from killing each other when doors open for big sales. But it won't.

Is this the type of thing that the boys in charge are now playing with? Will they study the birds in the sky in order to improve the delivery of killing?
