Précisions sur l’origine du prix élevé du pétrole

par F. William Engdahl

Mondialisation.ca, Le 25 mai 2008

un calcul prudent montre que, dans le prix du baril de pétrole brut d’aujourd'hui, au moins 60% des 128 dollars sont dus à la spéculation à terme non réglementée, des hedge funds, des banques et des groupes financiers. Ils utilisent les échanges à terme du ICE Futures de Londres et du NYMEX de New York, et les échanges inter-bancaires incontrôlés ou négociés hors cote pour échapper à tout examen minutieux. Les règlements de la Commodity Futures Trading Commission du gouvernement étasunien permettent aux spéculateurs d'acheter du pétrole brut grâce à des contrats à terme sur le Nymex, en avançant seulement 6% de la valeur du contrat. Le prix en ce moment étant de 128 dollars par baril, cela signifie que le spéculateur à terme n'a qu'à donner environ 8 dollars pour chaque baril et emprunter les autres 120 dollars. Cette « force » exceptionnelle de 16 pour 1 permet d’amener le prix à un niveau follement irréaliste et de compenser les pertes bancaires du subprime et des autres catastrophes au détriment de l'ensemble de la population [mondiale].

La mystification du pic pétrolier, c’est-à-dire l'argument selon lequel la production pétrolière aurait épuisé plus de la moitié des réserves, ce qui rend le pétrole bon marché et abondant sur le déclin dans le monde, a permis à cette fraude coûteuse de perdurer depuis l'invasion de l'Iraq en 2003 avec l'aide des principales banques, des négociants et des opérateurs pétroliers majeurs. Comme toujours, Washington tente d’en faire porter le chapeau aux producteurs arabes de l'OPEP. Le problème n'est pas la pénurie de l’approvisionnement en pétrole brut. En fait, l’offre est actuellement excédentaire dans le monde. Pourtant, le prix grimpe toujours plus haut. Pourquoi ? La réponse se trouve dans la politique manifestement délibérée du gouvernement étasunien, qui permet la manipulation effrénée du prix du pétrole.

Demande pétrolière plate, boom du prix . . .

Aux États-Unis, les stocks de pétrole ont augmenté de près de 12 millions de barils en avril. Selon le rapport mensuel de l'inventaire du 7 mai de l’EIA, ils sont en hausse de près de 33 millions de barils depuis janvier. Au même moment, le rapport du 7 mai de MasterCard montre que la demande en essence a diminué de 5,8%. Et les raffineurs sont en train de réduire considérablement leur cadence de raffinage pour s'adapter à la baisse de la demande. Ils tournent actuellement à 85% de leur capacité, par rapport aux 89% d’il y a un an, dans une saison où la production est normalement de 95%. Les raffineurs sont manifestement aujourd'hui en train d’essayer de tirer vers le bas l’offre des ressources en essence pour augmenter son prix.

Annonce de nouveaux grands champs pétroliers en cours

Non seulement il n’y a pas de crise d'approvisionnement pour justifier pareille bulle de prix, mais il existe plusieurs nouveaux gisements pétrolifères gigantesques qui doivent commencer à produire au cours de 2008 pour augmenter l'offre.

Alors pourquoi augmenter encore le prix ?

Nous sommes frappés par une série sans fin d'arguments plausibles sur le prix élevé du pétrole : « super risque de terrorisme » ; élévation « foudroyante » de la demande chinoise et indienne ; troubles dans la région pétrolifère nigérienne ; « explosion » d’oléoduc en Iraq ; possible guerre contre l'Iran. . . et, au-dessus de tout ça, le matraquage du pic pétrolier.

MAIS...

Il est de plus en plus évident que la récente bulle spéculative pétrolière, devenue asymptotique depuis janvier, est sur le point d’éclater.

À la fin du mois dernier, à Dallas au Texas, l'American Association of Petroleum Geologists a tenu sa conférence annuelle en présence de tous les principaux cadres et géologues. Selon un participant, les bien informés directeurs généraux de l’industrie pétrolière sont arrivés à un consensus sur le fait que « le prix du pétrole chutera bientôt de façon spectaculaire et que l’augmentation à long terme concernera le prix du gaz naturel. »

Juste quelques jours avant, Lehman Brothers, une banque d'investissement de Wall Street a dit que la bulle du prix pétrolier touche à sa fin.

Goldman Sachs de nouveau au milieu

Aujourd'hui, le prix du pétrole, contrairement à il y a vingt ans, est déterminé à huis clos dans les chambres de commerce d’institutions financières géantes comme Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, JP Morgan Chase, Citigroup, Deutsche Bank ou UBS. Dans ce jeu, l'échangeur clef est le London ICE Futures Exchange (autrefois International Petroleum Exchange). ICE Futures est une filiale possédée intégralement par Atlanta Georgia International Commodities Exchange. ICE d’Atlanta a été fondée en partie par Goldman Sachs, qui dirige aussi l’indice des prix des matières premières les plus utilisées dans le monde, le GSCI, qui est surpondéré au prix du pétrole.

Comme le notait le rapport du Sénat en juin 2006, Le rôle de la spéculation dans le marché pétrolier sur la hausse du prix de l’essence, « Il y a quelques managers des hedge funds là-bas qui maîtrisent la connaissance de la manière d’exploiter la théorie du pic pétrolier et le sujet brûlant de l'offre et la demande, et en prédisant audacieusement la progression choquante des prix à venir, ils ne font qu’ajouter davantage de carburant au feu de la spéculation dans une sorte de prophétie qui se réalise. »

Le Congrès démocrate agira-t-il pour changer la minutieuse opacité du marché pétrolier à terme dans une année électorale, et risquer de faire éclater la bulle ? Le 12 mai le comité de la Chambre sur l’énergie et le commerce a déclaré qu'il se penchera sur cette question en juin. Le monde aura les yeux braqués.

(UNE des principale raison pour le prix élévé est la dévaluation du dollar américain. -LNI)

America's house prices are falling even faster than during the Great Depression

AS HOUSE prices in America continue their rapid descent, market-watchers are having to cast back ever further for gloomy comparisons. The latest S&P/Case-Shiller national house-price index, published this week, showed a slump of 14.1% in the year to the first quarter, the worst since the index began 20 years ago. Now Robert Shiller, an economist at Yale University and co-inventor of the index, has compiled a version that stretches back over a century. This shows that the latest fall in nominal prices is already much bigger than the 10.5% drop in 1932, the worst point of the Depression.

Guantanamo trials 'being rushed'

Lawyers for five 9/11 suspects have said the US government is rushing their cases to trial at Guantanamo in order to sway the US presidential election.

They have called for the military judge to dismiss the case on the grounds it is politically motivated, according to documents seen by the Associated Press.

This administration is seeking to use these trials toward some kind of political validation and restoration, particularly with Scott McClellan's revelations about having been lied into the war on Iraq.zero relationship whatsoever to legitimate American justice and law.

Canadian Supreme Court Declares Guantanamo Illegal - Why Won't Anyone Say It?

"a Supreme Court ruling that says Guantanamo Bay was essentially an illegal operation..."

I know, I know... you didn't hear that on the evening news either! But it's true. For the second time a country's Supreme Court has declared the Guantanamo Bay kidnapping/torture operation illegal.

Funny how the headline doesn't include that - seeing as headlines are supposed to convey the most important gist of the story in a sexy way. If I were the editor, I would have insisted on a front-page, gigantic headline stating: CDN Supreme Court: Guantanmo Bay Illegal!!!
Yet on this one and every other article I could find - even one from Al-Jazeera - they have boring titles:

Neither Honest Nor Trustworthy: The 10 Worst Corporations of 2007

Abbott Blackwater BP Chiquitta Countrywide ExxonMobil Gen Re Murray Energy Purdue Pharma SAIC

The U.S. public holds Big Business in shockingly low regard.

A November 2007 Harris poll found that less than 15 percent of the population believes each of the following industries to be "generally honest and trustworthy:" tobacco companies (3 percent); oil companies (3 percent); managed care companies such as HMOs (5 percent); health insurance companies (7 percent); telephone companies (10 percent); life insurance companies (10 percent); online retailers (10 percent); pharmaceutical and drug companies (11 percent); car manufacturers (11 percent); airlines (11 percent); packaged food companies (12 percent); electric and gas utilities (15 percent). Only 32 percent of adults said they trusted the best-rated industry about which Harris surveyed, supermarkets.

These are remarkable numbers. It is very hard to get this degree of agreement about anything. By way of comparison, 79 percent of U.S. adults believe the earth revolves around the sun; 18 percent say it is the other way around.

The Harris results are not an aberration. The results have not varied considerably over the past five years - although overall trust levels have actually declined from the already very low threshold in 2003.

RCMP subdue hospitalized man, 82, with Taser

Lasser told CBC News that he sometimes becomes delusional when he can't breathe properly. He said he couldn't explain why he refused to let go of the knife even after the Mounties arrived.

Kamloops RCMP said Thursday that officers had no other option but to deploy the conducted energy weapon when Lasser refused to drop his knife.

"...No other option" with a 82 year old man in a hospital bed but taser him?

We used to go to Canada on a pretty regular basis when we lived in Washington state.

It is now, for many reasons, a "no-go" zone for this family.

Report: Carter says Israel has 150 nuclear weapons

Carter Reveals Israel's Possession of 150 Nuclear Weapons

Jimmy Carter revealed the fact that Israel has at least 150 nuclear weapons Sunday, and they can not officially lie to the world about that one any longer. The former president made the claim during an appearance in Wales, BBC News reported.

Carter said, "The U.S. has more than 12,000 nuclear weapons; the Soviet Union (sic) has about the same; Great Britain and France have several hundred, and Israel has 150 or more.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JcTk6ktyOpM

Fox: Carter 'outing' of Israeli nukes helps Iran

"The extraordinary thing is a lot of people throughout the Mideast have assumed for a very long time that Israel had [nuclear weapons]," concluded Steve Doocy. "But nobody has ever said officially that they had it. So, here you have got this guy who was once upon a time the president of the United States doing just that. ... He has just helped Iran."

Memo to Steve Doocy: what Carter has done has been to simply and honestly tell the truth about Israel's nuclear capabilities.

Of course, you will never see Israel become a signatory to the nuclear non-proliferation agreement, to which Iran is a signatory, and that is the real embarrassment here for Israel.

111 Nations, Minus the U.S., Agree to Cluster-Bomb Ban

In addition to the United States, Russia, China, Israel, India and Pakistan -- all of them major producers or users of the weapons -- did not sign the agreement or participate in the talks.

Bishop Compares Global Warming Skeptics To Pedophile Rapist

Smearing people who are skeptical about man-made causes of global warming as akin to Holocaust deniers was apparently not enough for the climate cult alarmists, who are now saying that if you disagree with them you're no better than infamous Austrian pedophile and rapist Josef Fritzl.

Rumors of OBL Death Put to Rest

Hmmmm. WE are seeing a LOT of stories about Osama these days.

I am reminded of August 2001, where the media was full of Osama stories. And it wasn't that he had actually done anything newsworthy; we were just being reminded constantly what a bad fellow he was. I was still on good terms at Free Republic back then and I wrote that all the Osama stories looked like a PR run-up, and now we are seeing the same again.

And again, this story fits the pattern. Osama hasn't actually done anything. It's just waving him in our faces.

As for Osama being dead, more info on that is HERE. The plain fact is that there has been no authentic video of Osama since the end of 2001. Everything shown on TV is re-edited old footage or an obvious actor in a fake beard.

Just think about the last few days, in which Scott McClellan has reminded us of how badly we were lied to to get us into the war. Can you dismiss the idea that "Osama" is just another part of that lie? Or 9-11 itself?

Al-Qa'eda to urge biological warfare in new video message

You know, THESE Al Qaeda!

Memo To Corporate Media: Anyone Can Dress Up As An Arab Terrorist & Fake An Al-Qaeda Tape

US questions Pakistan force's allegiance, funding

Signs that Pakistan's Frontier Corps is helping Taliban and al Qaeda-linked groups cross into Afghanistan only exacerbates U.S. frustration over Pakistan's plans to secure peace deals with fighters in that region, where Osama bin Laden is thought to hide.

"We cannot rely on Pakistan to stop the traffic of terrorists crossing that border despite the strong statements of its leaders," said Sen. Carl Levin, the Michigan Democrat who chairs the U.S. Senate's committee on armed forces.

Levin and some U.S. defense officials said Taliban fighters may also be getting assistance from Pakistan's army.

Yet more demonization of Pakistan in the so-called press, again bringing back the "dead guy" (as in the very room-temperature Bin Laden).

So what is this demonization of Pakistan softening up the American people for??

Intelligence Official Sees Little Progress Before Bush Exits

A regenerated al-Qaeda will remain the leading terrorism threat, Principal Deputy Director of National Intelligence Donald M. Kerr said. Pakistan's "inward" political focus and failure to control the tribal territories where al-Qaeda maintains a haven, he said, is "the number one thing we worry about."

Apparently, to Deputy Director Kerr, any foreign national who wants their country back is "Al-Qaeda". And notice the particular focus on Pakistan, where it is very possible that the US-supported Musharraf may well be on his way out.

Bush, Cheney et Cie accusés de crimes de guerre dans un dossier du FBI

La révélation la plus étonnante d’un rapport de 370 pages de l’inspecteur général du département de la Justice américain est que des agents du FBI avaient officiellement ouvert un dossier de « Crimes de guerre », documentant la torture dont ils avaient été témoins à la prison de Guantanamo Bay, avant de recevoir l’ordre de l’administration de cesser d’écrire leurs rapports.

Le rapport établit clairement que la torture fut ordonnée et planifiée en détail aux plus hauts niveaux du gouvernement, y compris la Maison-Blanche, le conseil national de sécurité, le Pentagone et le département de la Justice. Les tentatives de faire cesser ces pratiques, sur une base légale ou pragmatique, par des individus à l’intérieur du gouvernement furent systématiquement contrées et les preuves de ces activités criminelles dissimulées.

Les détenus de Guantanamo ne représentent qu’un pour cent de ceux détenus dans des camps de détention américains et des prisons secrètes opérées par les militaires et la CIA en Irak, Afghanistan et d’autres points du globe. Il est estimé que près de 27.000 personnes sont détenues sans accusation, sans parler de procès, plusieurs d’entre eux ayant simplement disparu dans le goulag global de Washington. Certains sont détenus dans des navires de détention, d’autres dans des donjons secrets opérés conjointement par la CIA et des régimes vers lesquels elle « transfère » les détenus, comme l’Égypte, la Jordanie et le Maroc, où d’autres formes plus cruelles de torture (être enterré vivant, l’électrocution ou la lacération avec un scalpel) sont employées.

En fait, comme le révélait ABC News le mois dernier, les représentants officiels du soi-disant comité de principe (le vice-président Dick Cheney, le secrétaire à la Défense Donald Rumsfeld, le secrétaire d'État Colin Powell, le directeur de la CIA George Tenet, le procureur général John Ashcroft et la conseillère à la sécurité nationale Condoleezza Rice) ont eu des discussions détaillées sur les « techniques renforcées d’interrogatoire » qui, selon ABC, « étaient quasiment chorégraphiées – allant jusqu’à préciser le nombre de fois où les agents de la CIA pouvaient utiliser une tactique particulière. »

Surprise, Surprise: Bush Lied

Some may view ex-White House press secretary Scott McClellan's new book as vindication for those who took grief - accused of "derangement," "treason" and a bunch of less-printable things - for calling George W. Bush a liar over the past eight years.

But the more troubling point is that there has been little improvement in the Washington political/media structure that failed to call Bush out on his lies in a timely fashion.

With the advent of the blogs, the so-called "political/media" structure has become nearly irrelevant.

Any lie that any politician is going to feed some suppliant "propaganda media enabler" will be struck down almost immediately on the net.

So those in positions of power better get used to telling the truth; the consequences will catch up with those who do not at the next election (remember: no matter how good the vote fraud may be, it can never be good enough to overwhelm a landslide).

Internet Attacked as Tool of Terror

Right now the people who lied you into one war and are trying to lie you into another are terrified of the blogs!

The White House Lie Factory

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spfCt-rQhFo

Treason is never

It must be pretty clear now - even to the densest of individuals - that Bush and his fellow weasels deliberately lied the US into the Iraq war.

So how does the US news media respond to a former press secretaries account of this reality?

They question his loyalty, his accuracy, his motivations.

And it's largely working.

These questions have framed the discussion of the McClellan book.

Not the fact that we know beyond a shadow of a doubt that Bush and Rove and Rice and Cheney lied, betrayed the country and did it for personal gain.

How many Iraqi civilians dead now?

How many US servicemen and women dead or injured gravely?

How many innocent lives destroyed?

And the f%$%ing brain dead news media is talking about whether or not McClellan was good team player?

Bush: U.S. deaths in Iraq 'laid foundations for peace'

Dumbass, I mean Dubya? The place was a lot MORE peaceful before you showed up!

McCain Reacts To McClellan: 'Every Intelligence Agency In The World And Every Assessment' Said Iraq Had WMD

Asked about the book today, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) defended the administration's actions in the run-up to the war, suggesting there was no manipulation involved. McCain claimed "every intelligence agency in the world" thought Hussein had WMD

Every claim that Saddam had WMD all came from one source only.

And at least British Intelligence knew there were no WMDs before the invasion started.

Scott Ritter said there were no Iraqi WMDs.

Hans Blix said there were no Iraqi WMDs.

Canada's analysts said there were no Iraqi WMDs.

And Paul Wolfowotz is on record admitting that the WMD issue was a 'bureaucratic reason' for war.

I need you to copy these stories off and send them to every single media outlet you can, and post them on every blog where McCain's claim that "every" Intelligence Agency thought that Saddam had WMDs, because that is flat out not true.

Time to burn his lying ass.

CNN's Yellin: Network execs killed critical White House stories

"The press corps was under enormous pressure from corporate executives, frankly, to make sure that this was a war presented in way that was consistent with the patriotic fever in the nation and the president's high approval ratings," Yellin said.

This is why the networks are crapping their trousers over McClellan's new book. They cannot delink from the lies that tricked this nation into war. The blood of all the dead stains their own hands as much as it stains that of Bush and the Neocons and the US Congress.

Former White House spokesman: Bush used 'propaganda' to sell war

McClellan tracks Bush's penchant for self-deception back to an overheard incident on the campaign trail in 1999 when the then-governor was dogged by reports of possible cocaine use in his younger days.

A person who is good at ultimately lying to himself to convince himself that something which happened actually didn't happen out of convenience will ultimately have absolutely no difficulty lying a country into war.

Ex-Press Aide Writes That Bush Misled U.S. on Iraq

Former White House press secretary Scott McClellan writes in a new memoir that the Iraq war was sold to the American people with a sophisticated "political propaganda campaign" led by President Bush and aimed at "manipulating sources of public opinion" and "downplaying the major reason for going to war."

No shit.

See THE LIE OF THE CENTURY

I point this out for two reasons.

Now that it's all over, the war started, the Americans and Iraqis dead and crippled, now the mainstream media will admit that the government lied us into the war because now it is too late to stop it, and there is a book to sell and money to be made. So now, 5 years after the fact, and more to the point, five years after the blogs blew the whistle on the lies that led to war, the MSM finally catches up to reality.

Second, I do not congratulate McClellan on his book. I will not buy it, read it, or promote it. The book is an admission that Scott McClellen KNEW HE WAS LYING TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WHEN HE STOOD AT THAT PODIUM IN THE WHITE HOUSE PRESS ROOM. The blood of our dead young men and women stains his hands and every page of that book. And having earned his keep as a paid liar for the government, now McClellan shamelessly tries to reap a few more bucks with a "how we put the screws to the country" manual.

McClellans book does not tell the American people anything that was not already being written here on the blogs five years ago. He just wants to act like he is breaking the story to make a fast buck.

FLASHBACK: British officers knew on eve of war that Iraq had no WMDs

Scott McClellan's book is merely the final confirmation of what the blogs have been telling you for years.

The government lied us into a war of conquest.

The government lied us into a war of conquest.

The government lied us into a war of conquest.

Knowing that, and finally facing up to that, it is time to realize that nothing you have ever been taught by the state schools or the state-controlled media can be assumed to be true and factual. Everything is suspect. Who killed JFK, RFK, JFK Jr. MLK, Vince Foster, all need to be re-examined. Is what we have been taught about WW2 accurate? That needs to be re-examined. 9-11? For certain we have been lied to about that.

The Constitution does not allow the government to lie to the people. The 10th Amendment prohibits the government from assuming that right. Therefore, when the government lies to the people it acts both unconstitutionally and illegally. When the government lies to the people it breaks faith with the people who pay the taxes that power that government. When the government lies to the people it delegitimizes itself and ceases to be the lawful government of the land.

There is no greater crime by a government against its people than lying them into a war of conquest. There is no punishment too severe for a government that lies its people into a war of conquest.

FLASHBACK: A lack of intelligence

Australia's spies knew the United States was lying about Iraq's WMD programme. So why didn't the Government choose to believe them?

FLASHBACK: Ex-CIA official: WMD evidence ignored

A retired CIA official has accused the Bush administration of ignoring intelligence indicating that Iraq had no weapons of mass destruction and no active nuclear program before the United States-led coalition invaded it, CBS News said Sunday.

FLASHBACK: Bush Was Set on Path to War, British Memo Says

During a private two-hour meeting in the Oval Office on Jan. 31, 2003, he made clear to Prime Minister Tony Blair of Britain that he was determined to invade Iraq without the second resolution, or even if international arms inspectors failed to find unconventional weapons, said a confidential memo about the meeting written by Mr. Blair's top foreign policy adviser and reviewed by The New York Times.

FLASHBACK: Bush 'plotted Iraq war from start'

A top official sacked from the US Government has accused President Bush of planning for an invasion of Iraq within days of coming to office.

"Why? Because Israel done told me to!" -- Official White Horse Souse

SAYING GOODBYE - TWICE

Okay, take a good look at the faces here.

Now go read the articles below about how former White House Spokeslug Scott McClellan has just written a book admitting that the government lied to trick us into the conquest of Iraq.

Then look at the faces again.

Take a good long look.

FLASHBACK: Bush knew Saddam had no weapons of mass destruction

Two former CIA officers say the president squelched top-secret intelligence, and a briefing by George Tenet, months before invading Iraq.

Relinked in light of McCain's idiocy earlier today.

I need you to copy these stories off and send them to every single media outlet you can, and post them on every blog where McCain's claim that "every" Intelligence Agency thought that Saddam had WMDs, because that is flat out not true.

Time to burn his lying ass.

FLASHBACK: The French, the Germans and the Russians all KNEW there were no WMDs in Iraq prior to the invasion.

The British intelligence source said the best Humint on Saddam was held by the French who had agents in Iraq.

'French intelligence was telling us that there was effectively no real evidence of a WMD program That's why France wanted a longer extension on the weapons inspections. The French, the Germans and the Russians all knew there were no weapons there -- and so did Blair and Bush as that's what the French told them directly.

Relinked in light of McCain being a stupid ass earlier today.

I need you to copy these stories off and send them to every single media outlet you can, and post them on every blog where McCain's claim that "every" Intelligence Agency thought that Saddam had WMDs, because that is flat out not true.

Time to burn his lying ass.

FLASHBACK: Star Witness on Iraq Said Weapons Were Destroyed

On February 24, Newsweek broke what may be the biggest story of the Iraq crisis. In a revelation that "raises questions about whether the WMD [weapons of mass destruction] stockpiles attributed to Iraq still exist," the magazine's issue dated March 3 reported that the Iraqi weapons chief who defected from the regime in 1995 told U.N. inspectors that Iraq had destroyed its entire stockpile of chemical and biological weapons and banned missiles, as Iraq claims.

McCain is raising on a busted flush.

Folks, I need a favor.

I need you to copy these stories off and send them to every single media outlet you can, and post them on every blog where McCain's claim that "every" Intelligence Agency thought that Saddam had WMDs, because that is flat out not true.

Time to burn his lying ass.

FLASHBACK: SCANDAL OF THE LOBBY ZIONIST AIPAC: A PERFUME OF WATERGATE

In Italy, the Parliament comes to conclude a study on the origins and the consequences from the forgeries, and according to certain sources, the report/ratio mentions among the principal suspects Michael Ledeen, Dewey Clarridge, Ahmed Chalabi and Francis Brookes.

Remember Bush's infamous "16 words?"

"The British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa."

That statement was based on documents known to have been forgeries. The Italian Government investigated and named Michael Ledeen, Dewey Clarridge, Ahmed Chalabi and Francis Brookes as the most likely suspects.

When former ambassador Joe Wilson investigated the claim of Iraq purchasing uranium from Niger, he quickly discovered the claim was a hoax. When he tried to go public, White House attempts to silence him resulted in the exposure of his wife, Valerie Plame, as a CIA asset. In so doing, the White House blew the cover off of Brooks Jennings & Associates, which was the CIA's primary capability for tracking nuclear weapons and materials in the third world.

FLASHBACK: White House Silenced Experts Who Questioned Iraq Intel Six Months Before War

Six months before the United States was dead-set on invading Iraq to rid the country of its alleged weapons of mass destruction, experts in the field of nuclear science warned officials in the Bush administration that intelligence reports showing Iraq was stockpiling chemical and biological weapons was unreliable and that the country did not pose an imminent threat to its neighbors in the Middle East or the U.S.

But the dissenters were told to keep quiet by high-level administration officials in the White House because the Bush administration had already decided that military force would be used to overthrow the regime of Iraq's President Saddam Hussein, interviews and documents have revealed.

FLASHBACK: Warnings on WMD 'Fabricator' Were Ignored, Ex-CIA Aide Says

In late January 2003, as Secretary of State Colin Powell prepared to argue the Bush administration's case against Iraq at the United Nations, veteran CIA officer Tyler Drumheller sat down with a classified draft of Powell's speech to look for errors. He found a whopper: a claim about mobile biological labs built by Iraq for germ warfare.

Drumheller instantly recognized the source, an Iraqi defector suspected of being mentally unstable and a liar. The CIA officer took his pen, he recounted in an interview, and crossed out the whole paragraph.

A few days later, the lines were back in the speech.

These were confirmed as being the mobile artillery balloon inflater systems Great Britain sold to Iraq.

FLASHBACK: America Tore Out 8000 Pages of Iraq Dossier

THE United States edited out more than 8000 crucial pages of Iraq's 11,800-page dossier on weapons, before passing on a sanitized version to the 10 non-permanent members of the United Nations security council.

George Bush Authorized the Leak of Valerie Wilson's Identity

Scottie McC doesn't know it yet. But that's basically what he revealed this morning on the Today Show (h/t Rayne).

During the interview, Scottie revealed the two things that really pissed him off with the Bush Administration. First, being set up to lie by Karl Rove and Scooter Libby. And second, learning that Bush had--himself--authorized the selective leaking of the NIE.

White House doesn't deny McClellan's Bush-to-Libby leak allegation

ad yelled a question to the president trying to ask him a question about this revelation that had come out during the [Libby] legal proceedings," McClellan told the Today Show's Meredith Viera on Thursday morning. "The revelation was that it was the president who had authorized, or enabled, Scooter Libby to go out there and talk about this information. And I told the president that that's what the reporter was asking. He was saying that you, yourself, were the one that authorized the leaking of this information. And he said, 'Yeah, I did.' And I was kinda taken aback."

What Bush did was not only to Plame, but also to the entire organization she worked for..

This was the organization which had its finger on which countries were actually looking at developing rogue weapons, and which absolutely weren't.

And US agents and operatives died in that process.

It was his way of getting back at Joe Wilson, who said that the "yellowcake uranium" story was bogus regarding Iraq's nuclear threat.

FBI Evidence that Indicts George W. Bush for Mass Murder, War Crimes and Torture

A 370-page report by the Justice Department Inspector General references an FBI investigation of US torture that accuses the Bush White House, the National Security Council, the Pentagon and the Justice Department with 'ordering and planning' torture, including 'procedures' that resulted in death to 'detainees'. In other words --murder!

The report details how the US began torturing captives in 2002. 'Attempts to stop it ... were systematically suppressed', evidence of criminal activity by the Bush administration covered up. Bush's cover up of torture is itself a crime for which he should be impeached, tried and prosecuted.

Bush loves to portray himself as a "war president"; in truth, he is a "war crimes president.

Rumsfeld On Tape: Terror Attack Could Restore Neo-Con Agenda

Shocking excerpts of confidential recordings recently released under the Freedom of Information Act feature former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld talking with top military analysts about how a flagging Neo-Con political agenda could be successfully restored with the aid of another terrorist attack on America.

The tape also includes a conversation where Rumsfeld and the military analysts agree on the possible necessity of installing a brutal dictator in Iraq to oversee U.S. interests.

The tapes were released as part of the investigation into the Pentagon's "message force multipliers" program in which top military analysts were hired to propagandize for the Iraq war in the corporate media.

In attendance at the valedictory luncheon Rumsfeld hosted on December 12, 2006 were David L. Grange, Donald W. Sheppard, James Marks, Rick Francona, Wayne Downing, and Robert H. Scales, Jr. among others.

The most extraordinary exchange takes place when Lt. Gen. Michael DeLong bemoans shrinking political support for Neo-Con war plans on Capitol Hill and suggests that sympathy for the Bush administration's agenda will only be achieved after a new terror attack.

Rumsfeld agrees that the psychological impact of 9/11 is wearing off and the "behavior pattern" of citizens in both the U.S. and Europe suggests that they are unconcerned about the threat of terror.

DELONG: Politically, what are the challenges because you're not going to have a lot of sympathetic ears up there until it [a terror attack] happens.

RUMSFELD: That's what I was just going to say. This President's pretty much a victim of success. We haven't had an attack in five years. The perception of the threat is so low in this society that it's not surprising that the behavior pattern reflects a low threat assessment. The same thing's in Europe, there's a low threat perception. The correction for that, I suppose, is an attack. And when that happens, then everyone gets energized for another [inaudible] and it's a shame we don't have the maturity to recognize the seriousness of the threats...the lethality, the carnage, that can be imposed on our society is so real and so present and so serious that you'd think we'd be able to understand it, but as a society, the longer you get away from 9/11, the less...the less...

In another exchange, after assuring that comments are "off the record," Rumsfeld and one of the military analysts agree that Iraq could use a "Syngman Rhee" to take control of Iraq. Syngman Rhee was the ruthless authoritarian dictator of South Korea from after World War II through the Korean War to 1960. If the invasion of Iraq was about liberating the Iraqis from a tyrant in the form of Saddam Hussein why is Rumsfeld talking about installing an even more brutal dictator?

Rumsfeld's admission that the correction for dwindling support of the Neo-Con imperial crusade is another terror attack is perhaps the most startling and blatant indication that 9/11 was an inside job.

How much more evidence do we need to confirm that the Neo-Con hierarchy in control of the U.S. government are instigating and exploiting terror in the pursuit of their own domestic and geopolitical agenda?

As Jerry Mazza writes today, "In the seven years since the day, exhaustive and still growing evidence proves beyond any reasonable doubt that the US government, spearheaded by the Bush administration, planned, orchestrated and executed the 9/11 false flag operation. As openly advocated by wide swaths of elites, from the Project for the New American Century (PNAC), of which Rumsfeld has been a member, to the likes of Zbigniew Brzezinski (in his The Grand Chessboard), only an attack “on the order of Pearl Harbor” would, in Brzezinski’s words, cause the American people to support an “imperial mobilization,” and a world war."

OK: This is how these people think, and how absolutely contemptuous they are of their fellow Americans.

National "DNA warehouse" bill passes

Passing the House of Representatives on a voice vote, S. 1858 has been sent to President Bush for signature. The Newborn Genetic Screening bill was passed by the Senate last December. The bill violates the U.S. Constitution and the Nuremberg Code, writes Twila Brase, president of the Citizen's Council on Health Care (CCHC). "The DNA taken at birth from every citizen is essentially owned by the government, and every citizen becomes a potential subject of government-sponsored genetic research," she states.

Bush seeks to limit military lawyers' independence

The Bush administration is escalating a conflict over the independence of military lawyers who have repeatedly raised objections to White House policies over prisoners held as enemy combatants.

The administration has proposed a regulation requiring "coordination" with politically appointed Pentagon lawyers before the promotion of any member of the Judge Advocate General Corps, the military's 4,000-member uniformed legal force.

(La dernière fois que j’ai vu cette expression utilisée, c’était par le régime fasciste de Hitler. L’idée est de faire en sorte que tout le monde suive la ligne du gouvernement sous peine d’être purgé. C’est typique d’un système totalitaire. -LNI)

'Big Brother' database for phones and e-mails

A massive government database holding details of every phone call, e-mail and time spent on the internet by the public is being planned as part of the fight against crime and terrorism. Internet service providers (ISPs) and telecoms companies would hand over the records to the Home Office under plans put forward by officials.

U.S. to Insist That Travel Industry Get Fingerprints

The U.S. government today will order commercial airlines and cruise lines to prepare to collect digital fingerprints of all foreigners before they depart the country under a security initiative that the industry has condemned as costly and burdensome.

Chertoff Says Fingerprints Aren't 'Personal Data'

In a recent briefing with Canadian press (which has yet to be picked up in the U.S.), Chertoff made the startling statement that fingerprints are "not particularly private":

Apparently, according to Chertoff, nothing you have, say, or do, is private anymore, and there are no boundaries against "unreasonable search and seizure", as guaranteed by the 4th Amendment to the Constitution.

Blair caught on train without ticket

FORMER British prime minister Tony Blair has been caught travelling on a train without a ticket or any cash to pay the fare.

Did they tase him for that?

TransLink Cops Will Continue To Taser Fare Dodgers

When we lived in Washington state, we used to love going to Vancouver; it was a lovely place at that time.

However,I don't think I would ever want to go there again.

If their transit system cops have been granted permission to taser "non-compliant" passengers, imagine under what conditions regular officers might be permitted to tase people!
