Sr. Ardeth Platte smiling with joy at the empire's minions

[July 5, 2010: Oak Ridge, Tennessee] Priests and nuns, atheists, anarchist and one clown were among the 23 arrested by the State and 13 by the Federal Government for nonviolently resisting Nuclear Weapons at Y-12 in the morning of July 5, 2010.

Those facing State charges were arrested for obstructing the road way, one for failing to obey a police officer and Federal charges are for trespassing.

Before the nonviolent action that lead to the arrests the crowd made commitments to bear witness every Sunday at 5:55 PM at the site for a vigil and sing Keep Your Eyes on the Prize and the names of all who offered themselves against the insanity of nuclear war will be named out-loud until every one of them has been freed.

I devote this article to my friend Dr. Ebba Veregland, the friend of Palestine in Norway, who was among the first who broke the silence about the Zionist crimes, and who devoted and still much of her life defending the right of Palestinians to be a free nation.

In 62 years of continuous Zionist war crimes, Zionists have succeeded in misleading the international public opinion, which stood silent, and even supported them while they were expelling, murdering and displacing Palestinians.

In their 62 years of committing quantitative and qualitative war crimes against innocent Palestinians. Modern history does not give us one single example of such a genocidal murderous regime lasting for seven decades whilst still managing to present itself as a ‘democracy’ or its perpetrators and beneficiaries as ‘poor victims.’ This demonstrates Zionism’s huge powers of manipulation and deception, which no fascist regime has ever exceeded. Yet with each Zionist crime Palestinians have never stopped asking the same question: where is the world’s will to punish the Zionists? Palestinians’ appeals, however, have always fallen on deaf ears, to the extent that many of them came to the conclusion that Jews dominated the world and nobody was able to confront them. But despite that there was brave men and woman in Europe and the USA who broke the silence and sought to inform the public about the Zionist crimes.

And Why It Is So Difficult To Put This Genie Back In The Bottle

Really, why has it been so difficult to put this GENIE (Oil & Gas) back into the bottle (Macondo Prospect, Gulf of Mexico)? Or at least keep any more of him from coming out?

There are many reasons, on many different levels, but let’s start with BP and the culture of corporate superiority that has evolved at this corporate behemoth since its founding in 1908. We’re talking about the granddaddy here – the Anglo-Persian Oil Company – which was the first to develop the oil and gas reserves discovered in the Middle East. Simply put, when you’re the biggest and the oldest in that neck of the woods, you get used to doing it your way, and ONLY your way.

The energy industry is aligning with government of the Philippines in reducing the burden of suppression of the insurgency in Mindanao.

Divide and rule tactics pitting Christians and Muslims against one another have failed to cement state power. Military occupation has proved ineffective. The intractable conflict with the rebels has persisted for decades despite the presence of US military advisers as well as generous provision of the latest, most lethal, weapons.

During the Vietnam war, the US used napalm and agent orange in an attempt to isolate and expose the Viet Cong. Now a new and progressive method of fracturing the links between the insurgency and the population in which the insurgents move is appearing.

In his 1966 book, "How the World Really Works," Alan B. Jones included a chapter on the "Report from Iron Mountain: On the Possibility and Desirability of Peace," later published in 1967 by The Dial Press. It became a bestseller, then disappeared. Now few copies are available, but when circulating in the 1960s, it was reported that concerned Johnson administration officials ordered global US embassies to downplay it, saying it had nothing to do with policy. Later accounts doubted the material's authenticity, suggesting it was a hoax. True or false, its findings are reviewed below because they accurately reflect longstanding US policy.

Prepared by unnamed 15-man "Special Study Group, (SSG)" they were commissioned "by some governmental entity which wished to remain unknown" because of the sensitive nature of its assignment, completed after two and a half years work, from August 1963 - March 1966, at a secret Iron Mountain, New York "underground nuclear hideout."
