  • Wake Up From Your Slumber  Half a world away, mercenaries gone murderous-wild in Iraqi streets provoked the government there to demand that the firm Blackwater USA be expelled from Iraq. The Blackwater scandal ripped through Congress, as Washington was haunted by the specter of global warfare to be run by fascist private agencies.  ...  This is the agenda of British System über-financiers Felix Rohatyn and George Shultz, as implemented by Dick Cheney's and Donald Rumsfeld's "Revolution in Military Affairs." ...  The Rohatyn Center for International Affairs (Middlebury College, Vt.) ran an October 2004 conference on "Privatization of National Security," where, in partnership with Bush Administration architect, George P. Shultz, Rohatyn advocated a future world of private wars modeled explicitly on the feudal dark ages and the conquests of the British East India Company.

  • DownWithTyranny "If you went to junior high school in the U.S. you probably heard the fearful phrase "The Hessians are coming! The Hessians are coming!" That the German mercenary troops employed by the British in the American War of Independence were reputed to be heartless, even blood-thirsty barbarians, is part of our nation's Founding Mythology. A right-wing/militarist blog points out that "The Hessians were ruthless German mercenaries hired by King George III to fight the rebellious colonies, and were infamous for their wanton and indiscriminate cruelty. Indeed, the word 'Hessian' has often been used to describe soldiers-for-hire who rape, pillage, and lay waste to the countryside -- regardless of their national origin." There was around 30,000 of them in the British Army in the American colonies-- approximately one third of the total force. The rulers of the German principalities, not just Hesse-Kassel but also Anhalt-Zerbst, Anspach-Bayreuth, Brunswick-Luneburg, Nassau, Hesse-Hanau, and Waldeck, rented their soldiers to George III. Historian George F. Smith pointed out, in an essay about Washington's successful crossing of the Delaware to attack the British (Hessian mercenaries) in Trenton on Christmas Day that "Hessian brutality swung many New Jersey neutrals to the American cause..."

Blackwater is owned by the Prince Group, headed by Erik Prince, whose sister is married to former Michigan GOP gubernatorial candidate and Amway heir Dick DeVos.

  • How Israel targets Arab, Muslim scientists  Hassan Tahsin,  24-Feb-07   IRAN tops the American list of rogue states. Its decision to harness nuclear energy has made the United States attitude to Tehran even more bellicose. If the US had its way, it would have, undoubtedly, struck Iranian nuclear facilities and reduced them to rubble.

    But the US is aware of the calamitous ramifications of an Iranian adventure upsetting not only the region but sending its tsunami-like ripples to the regions beyond. So it would be rather safe to forecast that the US will not attack Iran in the immediate future. Israel, apparently disappointed by the US hesitation to launch a pre-emptive strike against Iran, is showing signs of returning to its policy of assassination to weaken or eliminate its enemies. Israeli intelligence apparatus Mossad reportedly assassinated Ardashir Hassan Baur, one of Iran's top nuclear scientists, last month. Ardashir, who was instrumental in founding the Nuclear Research Centre in Esfahan, was the director of the Centre for Nuclear Electromagnetic Studies, the hub of Iranian nuclear activities.

    The Sunday Times newspaper said Mossad was the most-likely force behind the assassination. Riza Pahala of the Stratfor, an American private establishment working in the area of espionage, said the Iranian scientist figured high in the Mossad hit list.  Israel has assassinated not only Arab leaders and scientists but Jewish citizens of Egypt and other parts of the Arab world as well. The purpose of killing the Arab Jews was to create a sense of insecurity among the Jewish communities living peacefully in Egypt and elsewhere so that they will immigrate to the Zionist state. Again it was Jewish terrorists, members of the Stern group to be specific, who committed numerous atrocities over a period of time against the British and Arabs, including the assassination of Count Bernadotte, the UN mediator between the Arabs and Jews in September 1948. Eminent Arab and Palestinian personalities such as founding chairman of the Palestine Authority Yasser Arafat and Hamas leader Ahmad Yassin were victims of Israel's policy of eliminating their enemies or those who they considered to be enemies.

    A major function of the Israeli intelligence is obviously to follow the activities of the Arab nuclear scientists and assassinate them with the express goal of depriving the Arab countries of capable scientists. For instance, Egyptian nuclear scientist Dr Samirah Musa was killed in a road accident in the United States in 1952 caused by an unidentified driver. Israel did not like her because she used to voice deep concerns about the hazards of the increasing Israeli nuclear activities in the Middle East.  She also had, reportedly, invented a simpler method to develop the critical grade nuclear material from metals cheaper than uranium. Again, in 1967 another Egyptian nuclear physicist Dr Sameer Najib was assassinated in Detroit after he conducted some successful experiments in the military application of nuclear science. Another suspected assassination by the Mossad agents is the mysterious death, in Paris in June 1980, of Dr Yahya Amin Al-Mushed, chief of the Iraqi nuclear project. He was in France for detailed discussions regarding the French cooperation in the Iraqi nuclear reactor. In July 1989, some unknown assailants shot Egyptian scientist Saeed Al-Bodair dead at his Alexandria apartment. He had developed some pioneering theories in the field of microwave. These are part of the Zionist scheme to keep the nuclear facilities away from the reach of Arabs and Muslims.

    I wonder what would have happened if an Israeli scientist were assassinated by an Arab intelligence agency. All the Arab governments would, no doubt, be described as terrorists and sponsors of terror. No amount of racist justification can conceal the state-sponsored terrorism practiced by Israel with the tacit approval of the United States.  Now the key question is who will protect the scientists of the Middle East from Israel's assassination squads.

  • In 1998, ECOMOG identified a plane, registration number N71RD, owned by a South African company, Dodson Aviation Maintenance and Spare Parts, as having carried weapons to Robertsfield in September of that year. The plane is a Gulfstream 14-seater business jet that cannot be used for arms transport, but there are other relevant connections. Fred Rindel was the owner of Dodson. The company was closed on 31 December 1998, but during the period under investigation, the plane was leased to, and operated by, Greater Holdings (Liberia) Ltd., a company with gold and diamond concessions in Liberia. The plane was used for the transport of the Greater Holdings' staff to and from Liberia.  source: Nederlands Instituut voor Zuidelijk Afrika
Notes, from WMR
March 27, 2006 -- Outsiders racing to oil-rich Gulf of Guinea in Africa. Israel is making a major overture to Africa's most despotic dictator -- Teodoro Obiang Nguema of Equatorial Guinea. In 2004, Israel Military Industries (IMI) sold Nguema's Coast Guard, a force established under a contract with Military Professional Resources, Inc. (MPRI) of Alexandria, Virginia, two Shaldag MK-II fast patrol boats.

MPRI's web site states "MPRI developed an integrated team of defense, security, and Coast Guard experts to provide a detailed set of recommendations to the government of Equatorial Guinea concerning its defense, littoral, and related environmental management requirements, as well as detailed implementation processes. The implementation of the NSEP will begin in early 2006."

Nguema has also negotiated for other Israeli private security firms and defense contractors to provide security services and weapons to Equatorial Guinea. These include Aeronautics Defense Systems, which is teamed with General Dynamics, to provide Aerostar unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to the U.S. Navy. Israeli troops have been seen training Obiang's presidential security forces in Mongomo, the small town where Obiang was born.

With Israeli-supplied patrol boats plying the waters of Equatorial Guinea's off-shore oil platforms and islands, including the islands of Bioko, Annobon, Elobey, aand Corisco, as well as the coastline of mainland Rio Muni, comes word that Nigeria requested 200 patrol boats from the United States to help put down insurgencies among the peoples of the Delta region, whose land and waters are being ruined by pollution from Western oil companies. Last year, Nigeria negotiated with China for the delivery of dozens of Chinese-made fast patrol boats to guard off-shore oil installations. Nigeria has also ordered fighter jets from China. China receives 30,000 barrels of oil per day from Nigeria
