Georgia War a Neocon Election Ploy?

analysts are asking whether the Russian-Georgian war was engineered by a Republican strategist working for Senator John McCain. Randy Scheunemann, McCain's senior foreign policy adviser, was a lobbyist for the Georgian government who ended his lobbying connection in March, months after McCain became Republican presidential candidate. Previously, Scheunemann was best known as a neocon who headed the Committee for the Liberation of Iraq that championed the U.S. invasion. Analysts say there are signs Scheunemann played a similar role in Georgia. How else to explain the folly of his former employer, Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili, ordering the invasion of South Ossetia that clearly was expected to produce a Russian counterreaction? Analysts say it is inconceivable Saakashvili would have done so without assurances from Americans like Scheunemann that the US would back him up.


Russia launches genocide probe over South Ossetia events

Russia has accused Georgia of committing “genocide” by launching its offensive last Friday to regain control of the separatist province of South Ossetia. Russia is calling for an international war crimes trial for the Georgian leadership, which Moscow says is responsible for the deaths of 1,600 civilians in the Georgian attack on the breakaway republic of South Ossetia. In turn, Georgia has filed a lawsuit against Russia at the International Court of Justice over alleged ethnic cleansing. “The suit contains material showing that Russia has committed ethnic cleansing against Georgia from 1993 to 2008.” Russian prime minister Vladimir Putin accused the West of double standards. Putin said sarcastically: “The U.S. had to hang Saddam Hussein for destroying several Shiite villages. But the current Georgian rulers. ..who burnt civilians alive…are players who of course have to be protected.”


Siege-Breaking Vessels Set Sail for Gaza

A dramatic confrontation off the Israeli coast could break out within hours between the Israeli navy and two vessels sailing toward Gaza. The SS Free Gaza and the SS Liberty are trying to break through the Israeli blockade of the poverty-stricken Palestinian Strip. The boats’ location will be kept secret to lessen the chances of their being shot at or arrested by Israeli authorities. On Tuesday a multinational crew of 45, including European parliamentarians, will leave Cyprus and sail to Gaza. Spokeswoman Greta Berlin said: "We want to bring to the world's attention that Gaza is virtually an outdoor concentration camp." The vessels are loaded with humanitarian aid specifically for children. Gaza has been virtually sealed off by land, air and sea and subject to a strict Israeli and international embargo since Hamas routed the forces of the Palestinian National Authority in June 2007.

Russia’s Pravda newspaper repeatedly tells George Bush to “shut up”

A scathing editorial in Russia’s Pravda newspaper repeatedly tells George Bush to “shut up” over his recent remarks to Russia. Pravda said it was following the example of the King of Spain, who told Hugo Chavez to shut up. The paper said: “President George W. Bush. Why don’t you shut up?” The editorial continued: “Do you really think anyone gives any importance whatsoever to your words after 8 years of your criminal and murderous regime? Do .. you really imagine there is a single human being anywhere on this planet who does not stick up his middle finger every time you appear on a TV screen? Do you really believe you have the right to give any opinion or advice after Abu Ghraib? After Guantanamo? After the massacre of hundreds of thousands of Iraqi citizens? After the torture by CIA operatives?

Arkansas Neighborhood in 24 Hour Lockdown.

Part of a town in Arkansas was placed under a 24-hour curfew this week. The lockdown came after an upsurge in crime in Helena and West Helena. Mayor James Valley said the curfew could be extended indefinitely. Residents have described the lockdown as "like being in jail". In recent months curfews and lockdowns have been imposed around the country, including Chicago and Washington DC. Last April federal law enforcement agencies took over state and local police forces in three states for a vast round up dubbed "Operation Sudden Impact". One sheriff’s deputy described the operation as martial law training. Senator John McCain has applauded the police actions, saying that military-style invasions modeled on the surge in Iraq should be adopted to control inner city crime.

Mukasey Shields Gooding and White House Political Ops at Justice

Attorney General Michael Mukasey told the American Bar Association Tuesday no former Justice Department officials will face prosecution. According to Mukasey, screening prosecutors, immigration judges and other government lawyers for their political leanings might be wrong, but it is not a crime. An internal Justice Department investigation concluded last month that for nearly two years, top advisers to then Attorney General Alberto Gonzales discriminated against applicants for career jobs who weren't Republican or conservative loyalists. The report found that Monica Goodling, who served as Gonzales' counselor and White House liaison, routinely asked career job applicants about their politics. Justice officials say criminal prosecutions would still go ahead if wrongdoing were found in the firing of nine U.S. attorneys in 2006 and the hiring practices in the department's civil rights division.

Most Corporations Don't Pay Income Taxes

According to a Government Accountability Office report, most corporations, including foreign companies doing business in the US, pay no income taxes. During the eight-years covered by the report, 72 percent of foreign-owned corporations went at least one year without owing taxes, and the same was true for 55 percent of domestic corporations. More than 3,500 large domestic corporations - with more than $250 million in assets or $50 million in gross receipts - did not pay taxes in 2005. 80 percent of the companies paid no taxes because they claimed they didn’t generate any profit after expenses. Rep Byron Dorgan, who requested the report said: “The tax system that allows this wholesale tax avoidance is an embarrassment and unfair to hardworking Americans who pay their fair share of taxes. We need to plug these tax loopholes and put these corporations back on the tax rolls.”

Contractors reap 100 bln dlrs from Iraq war: US report

 The Congressional Budget Office report said the US this year will have spent $100 billion on contractors in Iraq since the 2003 invasion, an unprecedented level of dependence by the Bush administration on private firms. Large contracts awarded to Halliburton and KBR - a Halliburton subsidiary and the biggest US military contractor in Iraq - have come under scrutiny from Democrats. The U.S. has about the same number of private contractors in Iraq as uniformed service members. The presence of private security companies has caused concern in military circles because some private guards are earning up to $1,222 a day, compared to $160 to $190 earned by the military. The Pentagon’s reliance on outside contractors in Iraq has fueled charges that this outsourcing has led to overbilling, fraud and shoddy work that has endangered and even killed American troops.

Russia's Invasion of Georgia Is Reminiscent of Hitler's Attack on Czechoslovakia

Zbigniew Brzezinski, former national security advisor to President Jimmy Carter, says Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Georgia was ominously similar to Hitler's actions in 1939. Brzezinski says Putin's "justification" for dismembering Georgia -- because of the Russians in South Ossetia – is eerily similar to Hitler's invasion of Czechoslovakia to "free" Sudeten Germans. Brzezinski says the question now facing the international community is how to respond to a Russia that engages in the blatant use of force. Putin has potentially cut Western access to the Caspian Sea and Central Asia by gaining control over the Baku/Ceyhan pipeline that runs through Georgia. Brzezinski says the stakes are significant. If Georgia is subverted, not only will the West be cut off from the Caspian Sea and Central Asia. “We can logically anticipate that Putin, if not resisted, will use the same tactics toward the Ukraine.”

Russia: US gave nod to Georgia

Russia says Georgia's attack on independence-seeking South Ossetia was likely executed with US approval. Russian Ambassador to the UN, Vitaly Churkin, said Wednesday: "It is hard to imagine that (Georgian President Mikheil) Saakashvili embarked on this risky venture without … approval from the .. United States." Meanwhile, a French government official said Georgia's president was "mad" to try to crush separatists in South Ossetia, and he fell into a trap that led to war. "The Georgians …thought Russian Prime Minister Putin would not retaliate in the middle of the Olympic Games." French president Nicloas Sarkozy brokered a peace deal Tuesday to end fighting sparked by Tbilisi's decision to regain control of South Ossetia by force. Russian troops overran their Georgian enemy, forcing them out of South Ossetia and helping the separatists drive out Georgian forces in another independence-seeking region, Abkhazia.

The Depleted Uranium Threat

The Pentagon, the nation's biggest polluter, is finally starting to clean up 29,500 contaminated sites in every US state and territory. California alone has 3,900 contaminated sites on 441 current and former Department of Defense installations. The cost of cleaning up munitions contamination and unexploded ordnance may reach $200 billion. However, the Defense Department is refusing to comply with orders to clean up 11 hazardous waste sites and has asked the White House and Justice Department to intervene on its behalf. While attempting to act as the planet's nuclear watchdogs, the US and Britain have become two of the world's largest, cancer-causing nations from irradiated dust and depleted uranium munitions. The US and UK military fired hundreds of tons of radioactive depleted uranium munitions in the first Gulf War, the Balkans War, and in Afghanistan and Iraq.

BP shuts down Georgia pipelines

Energy giant BP says it has shut two of three pipelines that run through Georgia as a precautionary measure. BP said the oil and gas pipelines, which run from the Caspian Sea into Georgia, had not been damaged by the recent fighting. The oil pipeline, which BP owns as part of a consortium, can carry up to 90,000 barrels of oil a day. Another key pipeline, which runs from Azerbaijan through southern Georgia into Turkey, is already shut down. The closure comes as the International Energy Agency (IEA) warned that the conflict posed a threat to oil and gas pipelines that pass through Georgia. The IEA said Georgia was of strategic importance to energy markets but that so far oil prices "had not been materially affected". The large Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan oil pipeline has been closed since early August, following an explosion at a section of the line in Turkey.

Can It Happen Here?

The draft of the Democratic Party’s platform says 'Democrats are commited to provide every American access to affordable, comprehensive health care.' Paul Krugman of the NY Times writes that guaranteed health care for all is economically feasible. Krugman notes every wealthy country except the US already has some form of guaranteed health care. The hazards Americans treat as normal - the risk of losing your insurance, or of being financially ruined by medical costs - are considered unthinkable in other advanced nations. Some healthcare reformers want the Democrats to endorse a single-payer system that would be more efficient than one that preserves a role for private insurance companies. However, the Democratic platform says Americans "should have the option of keeping the coverage they have or choosing from a wide array of health insurance plans, including many private health insurance options and a public plan."

How Tenet Betrayed the CIA on WMD in Iraq

According to Journalist Ron Suskind, Saddam Hussein’s intelligence chief reported to the British that Saddam had no weapons of mass destruction.  But former CIA Director George Tenet quashed any evidence that conflicted with the Bush administration’s line that Saddam was pursuing a nuclear weapons program."  In Suskind's book, 'The Way of the World', Iraqi Director of Intelligence Tahir Jalil Habbush al-Tikriti had been passing intelligence to the UK's MI6 for a year before the U.S invasion. In early 2003, Habbush told MI6 that Saddam had ended his biological weapons program in 1996. Habbush explained Saddam tried to maintain the impression he had such weapons in order to impress Iran. The head of MI6, Richard Dearlove, presented details of the Habbush report to Tenet. The CIA informed the British that the Bush administration was not interested in keeping the Habbush channel open.    
    
U.S. Headed Toward Bankruptcy, Says Top Budget Committee Republican

Rep. Paul Ryan, the ranking Republican on the House Budget Committeesays the U.S. government is headed toward bankruptcy if it stays its current fiscal course. Rep. Paul Ryan said:  “All the actuaries, all the objective scorekeepers of the federal government, are predicting this.” Ryan cited an estimate by the Government Accountability Office that the government faces a $53-trillion shortfall to cover the costs of promised benefits in its entitlement programs. Ryan asked the Congressional Budget Office what the tax rates would need to be to cover federal spending at that level. The GAO says that at the current low rate, the 10-percent bracket would have to go up to 25 percent. The tax rate for middle-income Americans would have to go up to 66 percent, and the top rate, which is what small businesses pay, would have to go to 88 percent.

The Bush Administration’s Plan To Make The Endangered Species Act Extinct

The Bush administration is proposing new rules to gut the Endangered Species Act. This would be the biggest change to the groundbreaking legislation since 1988, and would not require the approval of Congress. Currently, federal agencies are required to consult with an independent agency — the Fish and Wildlife Service  or the National Marine Fisheries Service — to determine whether a project would harm an endangered species. The AP reports that under the new rules, agencies would simply be able to “decide for themselves”. The Bush administration wants federal agencies to decide for themselves whether highways, dams, mines and other construction projects might harm endangered animals and plants. New regulations, would reduce the mandatory, independent reviews government scientists have been performing for 35 yearsss.The draft rules also would bar federal agencies from assessing the emissions from projects that contribute to global warming and its effect on species and habitats.
Asner vs. Cheney in NYC 9/11 Commission.



Activists hope to reinvestigate with city’s help.

*An activist group is collecting signatures to place a referendum creating a new 9/11 commission on New York City’s November ballot. The group, called the 9/11 Initiative, is funded by New York human-rights lawyer William Pepper, former Dallas Cowboy Mark Stepnoski, and California businessman Michael Davis. They’re calling for a privately funded investigative panel, empowered with subpoena authority and staffed with their own supporters, including Senator Mike Gravel, 9/11 widow Lorie Van Auken, and actor Ed Asner. Senator Gravel said: “The original commission didn’t get to the bottom of anything.” Gravel said he wants to put George Bush and Dick Cheney under oath. The group says they have collected 25,000 out of the 30,000 signatures needed by September 4 to get New York City Council to consider the measure.
