Letters to the Editor, June 10, 2004

After Disney refused to allow distribution by Miramax, Michael Moore finally has a distributor in America for his award winning documentary "Fahrenheit 9/11." Actually, two of them! Lions Gate Films and IFC Films have agreed to aggressively distribute "Fahrenheit 9/11" in theaters all across the country beginning three weeks from today on Friday, June 25th.

Maybe you've heard about the new movie, "The Day After Tomorrow." The movie, which tells the story of a devastating climate crisis, is more science fiction than science fact. Yet the danger it represents is very real. We've got to take action now to prevent a climate crisis. Fortunately, there is something we can do about it. The McCain-Leadership Climate Stewardship Act would be a big step in the right direction, creating national caps on the greenhouse gas emissions that cause global warming. Join me in calling on our government to enact this bill now, at: http://www.climatecrisis.org/

IT IS NOT ‘NEW’--IT IS GLOBAL MONOPOLY CAPITALISM, AKA IMPERIALISM, intensified in its desperate effort to resolve capitalism’s (unresolvable) crises by conquering the world with their bogus permanent “war on terrorism”...

The New York Times Nexus

Of late, New York Times is attempting to own a moral responsibility for being a tool of the Bush administration’s propaganda on Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction, which subsequently led to the invasion, and occupation of the nation.

This attempt is to claim a moral standard for NYT, which has absolutely none. Admission of omission on part of the editorial board is not going to undo the death and destruction unleashed by US led attacks in Iraq. The New York Times has an unholy nexus with some government departments when it comes to a smear campaign against Islam and Muslim nations.

The newspaper is still toeing the Zionist lies when reporting on the Middle East crises. Reporters of the paper still refuse to acknowledge the massacre of Palestinian civilians as terrorist attacks while not following same standards when victims are Israelis.

The New York Times is not likely to own moral responsibility for such false propaganda in near time given its absolute support to Zionist racism in Israel. But the New York Times is not the only media outlet in the US which is hijacked by Zionists.

Protesting the Israeli occupation terrorist campaigns against Rafah and other Palestinian cities

Last week probably set a record for demonstrations in Israel against the occupation -- a result not only of the 37th "anniversary" of the occupation, which we mark in June, but also of the ongoing violence in Gaza: Some 30-40 more Rafah homes were destroyed this week, while many Palestinians were arrested and some killed. Comparatively speaking, the army is now showing restraint compared with the original onslaught, thanks to the outcry from people all over the world. If you ever lose faith that your faxes and phone calls make a difference, remind yourself that hundreds of homes, maybe even thousands, were saved as a result of your efforts in this campaign. Keep them coming.

May I receive your commentary?

Marlene Santoyo

Editor: Yes, protests against the Israeli occupation terror campaigns are important inside Israel, the US, and around the world. The most important thing about them is that they give you a feeling of standing up against evil but they really affect politicians. The Israeli peace camp is doing a good job, though it's outnumbered by supporters of the government. People anywhere, particularly in the US and Europe, can influence their politicians through their acts of support and solidarity with the Palestinian people.

It`s not “either-or”….it`s “BOTH-AND”

By Ita Anticona

The current attempt to make the "Office of Special Plans" (OSP) and Chalabi into the evil bad-guy is an attempt to whitewash the CIA / FBI and Mossad roles in 9-11, making Bush into scapegoat. The OSP was supposedly an open and largely unfiltered conduit to the White House specifically to “bypass the CIA” , and which also forged close ties to a parallel, ad hoc intelligence operation inside Ariel Sharon's office in Israel and provide the Bush administration with more alarmist reports on Saddam's Iraq than Mossad was prepared to authorise. At least, that is the story that is being “revealed”…

Even though it is clear that the our own and foreign intelligence agencies had a role in other actions against the American people, i.e. the Kennedy assassination , and the plans for Operation Norwood and the Lavon Affair, not to mention Waco, Oklahoma City, the 1993 World Trade Center Bombing, and of course 9-11. But in order to whitewash the fact, they are manufacturing conspiracy theories which point to part of the involvement, just as with Kennedy.

With Kennedy, they wanted you to stay confused…the Cubans did it…no, the CIA did it…no, the Mob did it… but they were careful to never have you look at the Israeli role, because that would tie it all together…the fact that the Israelis were connected with the Mob via Lanskey, that the Mob IS the CIA which works for big banking interests…and the fact that the Cubans are utilized by the CIA is an open secret, along with the fact that Bush Sr. was in on the whole thing.

And now almost the same thing is happening again, except this time both the CIA and Mossad involvement are already on the table, so they are trying to detract attention by saying that it wasn’t the CIA, it was the OSP. It wasn`t Mossad, it was Chalibi. Bull.... It was all of them. The OSP was set up for the sole purpose of layering the intelligence operation (CIA, FBI, MOSSAD, etc. ) to provide “deny-ability”.

Anyone who thinks that the role of the President is anything other than a figurehead for the banking interests of the United States would probably still be investing heavily in the stock market in certain bridge building companies (hey buddy, wanna buy a bridge?). W. Patrick Lang , the former chief of Middle East intelligence at the D.I.A., said, “The Pentagon has banded together to dominate the government’s foreign policy, and they’ve pulled it off. They’re running Chalabi…”

Remember, Cheney and Bush Sr. are intimately connected with oil companies and the CIA, and are first class neo-con ... kissers. They did not NEED to bypass the intelligence agencies…they ARE the intelligence agencies! At least at the upper echelons…there is no doubt that loyal Americans exist in both the FBI and CIA, but they are not the real shakers and movers that report to the NWO bankers.

And by the way…the NWO bankers are not an “Anglo-American” conspiracy. The Rothschild clan is the mover and shaker, the power that be.
