Bush On Biometric ID System

Interesting video I came across just now on Bush discussing the need to introduce a “biometric ID system” which would be mandatory for all US workers.  It would also be illegal to hire anyone without this “tamper proof” ID card.

Hmmm. Sounds a little scary to me.  Ironic that the video says it was recorded on 06.06.06!  Anyway, have a watch and let me know what you think…

George W Bush. Unfit To Lead?

George-W-Bush To those of you whacked out enough to read my blog, you know that I’m not a Bush fan.  Truth is, initially I was.  In the early days, I was a victim of the propaganda machine, largely propelled by mainstream media, and consumed by the masses.

But since I have not relied on main stream media to shape my opinion of what’s going on in this world, my take on Bush has drastically changed.  These days I see him as a neocon thug sold out to power, money and deception.

Today I cam across a YouTube snippet from Keith Olbermann from MSNBC’s Countdown program.  Keith is seen by many of being a liberal commentator, to which he responds, "I’m not a liberal, I’m an American."

Keith often clashes with Bill O’Reilly of Fox News - who is largely seen as his right wing opponent. O’Reilly I have very little respect for.  He’s a conservative thug who badgers anyone on or off his show who disagrees with him or his world view.

But fair enough, both are entitled to their own opinion - much of which I disagree with.  But today’s video is something I can definitely relate to. The fact that Bush is on the war path against Iran despite intelligent reports that Iran has abandoned it’s nuclear weapons program - really pisses me off.

In this age of censorship, political correctness and blind patriotism, the following video needs to be watched as a reminder to the world at what’s really going on in the minds of those entrusted to develop US Foreign Policy.

I’d be keen to hear your opinion about what Olbermann says.

Middle East Peace? Fat Chance…

Mid East

I read today that Mr Looney Tunes, George W Bush, refuses to rule out military action against Iran despite the report from the National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) that “Tehran’s nuclear weapons program ended in 2003.”

What an embarrassing slap in the face to an Administration hell bent on going to war against Iran to facilitate their PNAC world view. Like the illegal invasion against Iraq, Bush and his cronies are using every trick in the book to convince a largely gullible and blindly “patriotic” American public who have been conditioned to the “imminent threat of terror.”

The report stated that Iran is incapable of developing nuclear weapons till at least 2015 and yet Bush has been pushing the idea that WW3 is on our doorstep because of Iran’s nuclear program.

For the record, I am not a Mr Ahmadinejad supporter. The guy is a Holocaust denier and is hell bent on the destruction of Israel. Problem is, he wants to throw sticks and stones against a country considered by many as a military superpower.

Put aside the military might of Israel and you have the supernatural provision of God at work. For the sake of His Name, He is collecting His people from amongst the nations and bringing them back to His land. And His might is at work in the provision of Israel…

“Who has ever heard of such a thing? Who has ever seen such things? Can a country be born in a day or a nation be brought forth in a moment? Yet no sooner is Zion in labour than she gives birth to her children. Do I bring to the moment of birth and not give delivery?” says the LORD. Do I close up the womb when I bring to delivery?” says your God.” Isa 66:8-9

The day after Israel declared independence, it’s surrounding Islamic nations declared war. It happened again in 1967 and 1973. The “give delivery” of God is truly a more powerful thing then the intentions of mankind.

Although the US is a supporter if Israel, at best this is because it is in their “national interest”. In reality the US really couldn’t care less of the well being of Israel. It seems as it’s the “expected thing to do” for an exiting Administration to broker a peace deal in the Middle East.

Like a “crowning glory” of a soon to be former President of the USA, each leader drags all Mid East parties to the negotiating table and attempts to bring peace to the region. Bush claims to be a Christian. If he really is, he should be aware of all the Old Testament prophecies regarding God’s land and His people living in it. It particular, he should be aware of the following scripture:

“I am going to make Jerusalem a cup that sends all the surrounding peoples reeling. Judah will be besieged as well as Jerusalem. On that day, when all the nations of the earth are gathered against her, I will make Jerusalem an immovable rock for all the nations. All who try to move it will injure themselves.” Zech 12:2-3

Anyone with half a brain can see that the Mid East peace process is dead in the hands of man. Tensions will escalate to the point where “all the nations of the earth” (UN led??) will attack Israel.

But Bush seems to fail to understand this and his instead tried to implemented the “Road Map for peace” in his desire to “..seek a peace agreement between Israel and the Palestinians before he leaves office.” And after seven years in power, he now plans to visit the region for the first time. First time? What took him so long?

In the mean time, his rhetoric is increasingly anti-Iran despite Iran being no real threat to the Mid East. He fails to understand that US foreign policy is the sole threat to peace in the Mid East.

Like I said, I don’t support Iran’s leader and see him as a thug. But for the US to go to war against Iran is simply wrong. Iran is a stumbling block to the US’ efforts to control oil and it’s distribution around the world. Read this article for a comprehensive world view that will blow your mind away.

WW3 will be played out in the Mid East. My fear is the perpetrator will be the US. It’s actions will destabilise the region and it’s collaborations with Israel will make Israel a prime target for world wide retaliation.

But when the nations gather against her, Israel will be in the blessing of God:

On that day, when all the nations of the earth are gathered against her, I will make Jerusalem an immovable rock for all the nations. All who try to move it will injure themselves.” Zech 12:3

When this Great War happens, it will trigger off the most amazing event in history. The Jews will finally have their eyes opened and look to Jesus:

“And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and supplication. They will look on me, the one they have pierced, and they will mourn for him as one mourns for an only child, and grieve bitterly for him as one grieves for a firstborn son.” Zech 12:10

I’m sure most of you would have heard of that Scripture before. But when you put it in context with the rest of Zechariah 12, you see that the events leading up to this time could be very close indeed.

Jesus said that wars and rumours of wars will abound. Specifically the nations will gather against Israel. God will deliver His people and open their eyes to the reality of their Messiah. And then it’s party time for mankind:

“But if their transgression means riches for the world, and their loss means riches for the Gentiles, how much greater riches will their fullness bring!” Rom 11:12

“For if their rejection is the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?” Rom 11:15

So you do your thing Mr Bush. Why don’t you go off and retire now like your daddy and leave the rest of the world alone.

US Invades Iraq Because Some Schmuck Wanted A Green Card

curveball.jpgMeet “Curve Ball” - an Iraqi defector responsible to feeding the West false information about the status of Iraq’s biological weapons program.

Rafid Ahmed Alwan provided “information” which then became a pillar for the U.S. decision to bomb and then invade Iraq.

Remember Colin Powell presenting information at the UN to drum up support for the invasion of Iraq? Well most of this was because of Curve Balls lies. How stupid is this situation?

According a report on CBS 60 Minutes, which for you Americans will air on November 4th, Curve Ball was Chemical Engineering student - albeit a bad one with grades averaging around 50. He also has an arrest warrant for theft where he once worked.

It just goes to show the pathetic nature of the justification to go to war and the extent to which lies are used in the current Administration. As for Curve Ball and the reason why he did it;

“It was a guy trying to get his green card essentially, in Germany, and playing the system for what it was worth.” CBS

Now as the war machine powers towards Iran, watch out for more lies and false justification.

911 Mysteries Video

Whether you think it holds water or not, the 911Truth movement is gaining traction. In a recent report on MSNBC Tucker Carlson show, a poll was cited saying that one third of Americans believe the US government is not telling the truth about 911.

Now for the record, I am into 911Truth. Simple logic dictates that the official story the media and government spins is full of holes. I’m not saying that all the government is involved. I’m talking about rogue elements of the current administration with roots that go beyond parties and stretch before Bush’s administration and will reach reach into the next one.

If you sit on the fence on this debate or are not too well versed, I invite you to check out the following clips.

It’s certainly food for thought. As a result of 911, we have the “War on Terror” - a war many people have said will last for 100 years. After successfully selling the story that Iraq had WMD’s, now the propaganda machine has it’s sites set on Iran.

The CIA has set up a large propaganda machine, similar to the one set up for the war in Iraq, to prepare the public to swallow the “we need to go to war against Iran” pill. An interesting news report can be viewed here.

Tell me, did we ever find the WMD’s we were sure Saddam had? You know, the ones where fancy diagrams were presented at the UN in an effort to draw up support? Nope. And now we are about to be duped again by an Administration led by a liar and a criminal.

The neocons of American politics are a deadly, war hungry, hell bent group of leaders with people like Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld et al, execute policy designed to implement PNAC - whether we like it or not.

For an interesting read on how this is panning out, read this article by Jim Holt, a New York Times Magazine and New Yorker writer. It talks about the untapped potential of Iraq’s oil - worth an estimated $30 trillion. But that’s not all. It also delves into protecting America versus the surge of China’s power. It talks about the US being the importer or cheap oil into Europe and it talks about the threat of Iran to this whole process.

And then we wonder why Iran is on the American radar. Iran is not a nuclear threat. Sure it has a whacked out leader, but so does America. No, Iran’s got oil also.

To protect the PNAC plan, the US will stay in Iraq on a long term basis. It’s building bases. Big ones.

Click here for the Google Maps page so you can zoom in on a base 40 miles north of Baghdad - and check out the football fields, swimming pools and fighter planes on the runway. It’s been said that the only runway used more then the one at this base is Heathrow airport.There are at least 5 of these super bases spread throughout Iraq. Designed to protect the oil fields American companies will soon have control over. And they will be used to launch an offensive against Iran - a mere 400 miles east of the base.

So. Still think 911 was caused by 19 hijackers controlled by some nut in a cave? Or can you see how “convenient” 911 was to implement the plans of the neocons?

Hugo Chavez - Friend Or Foe?

I have recently been asked a question regarding Hugo Chavez - the Venezuelan President. Being a lay guy and an Aussie puts me at a disadvantage to knowing what’s the gist on this guy. What happens in Venezuela has little bearing on my life in Melbourne, Australia.

But because I was asked by a friend as to what I think on this matter, I did some research and found this very interesting movie on YouTube named ‘The War On Democracy”. It’s done by John Pilger - a fellow Aussie who deserted his fellow Aussie and became a Pom.

I honestly don’t know much about Pilger and have no idea about his views or political leanings. Leanings to me are vitally important whenever whenever I research cause they expose the motives behind what is said.

Too many times people consume information without giving thought to the leanings of the information giver. Fox News is an obvious example. “We report. You decide” is their catch cry. What crap! It should say, “we report from a right wing, conservative perspective and we shoot down any dissent from our view and we belittle those opposing our view and then we brainwash - and then you are left to decide what we have carefully crafted for you to decide.” And to think that a fellow Aussie, Mr Rupert Murdoch runs this station is a disgrace. No wonder his son deserted him to live a normal life.

Now I am a Christian. Right wing or left wing? I don’t know. I’m not a bird. I like truth instead. John Pilger’s documentary can be viewed below. Click here to view his entry on Wikipedia. Click here for a Google search on the guy. You do the research. You decide. Be informed instead of relying on the media.

As to his credentials, here they are…

“John Pilger has been a war correspondent, film-maker and author, and has twice won British journalism’s highest award, that of Journalist of the Year. He has also been named International Reporter of the Year, and won the United Nations Association Peace Prize and Gold Medal. For his broadcasting, he has won France’s Reporter Sans Frontieres, and television academy awards in the United States and Britain. He holds the prestigous Sophie Award for “thirty years of exposing deception and improving human rights”.

Now that’s pretty impressive. So when a guy like this releases a major documentary, I sit up and take notice as it often paints a picture way different to what the media paints.

As I write this, I’ve only seen 3 out of 10 parts to his documentary below. It’s obvious that Pilger is pro Chavez. He is hinting of a President so popular in Venezuela - at least with the vast majority of poor citizens who now have a chance of a better life.

His detractors are the middle to high end Venezuelans whose high standard of living is threatened by the policies of Chavez. You see Chavez wants to use the money made in oil to help lift the poor out of poverty. The rich of Venezuela see this as a threat and therefore plot against the President using the media.

To you in the US who see Chavez as a criminal, I need to ask you if you have swallowed the propaganda pill of deceit. You see, Venezuela is the third largest oil importer into the US. Chavez’ policies threaten the cheap import of oil into your country.

Washington hates this.

The US is the largest consumer of oil in the world. A cheap, steady flow of oil into your country is vital to your economy more than any other country in the world. It dictates your foreign policy and moulds your perception as to who are the good guys in the world and who are the bad.

Chavez, because he cares for the poor in his country (cause he was once one of them) is now a “terrorist” building up the next Cuba. Character assignation and mass propaganda is making him look like the new Castro.

This is what Pilger claims in his movie. Like I said, I don’t know much about this topic. I don’t know much about Pilger. What I do know is that God help anyone who stands in the way of American interest.

You watch. You research. You decide.
