Scandal May Bring Down Tony Blair’s Government

Filed under: — @ 5:57 am

by Ian Mosley

George W. Bush may well lose his pet poodle (Tony Blair) very soon. It appears increasingly likely that British Prime Minister Tony Blair will resign in disgrace over his involvement in a burgeoning financial and political corruption scandal, the center of which appears to be one of Britain’s most prominent Jews, Lord Levy. It has also been revealed through leaks from Number Ten Downing Street that Blair himself has been questioned twice by his own Fraud Squad over a recurring financial scandal down through British history–the sale of honors.

For those Americans unfamiliar with the British system, every year the government issues what’s called an “Honors List” where prominent British citizens get various kinds of awards and decorations, up to and including knighthood and elevation to the peerage. There are also a number of civilian decorations such as OBE (Order of the British Empire). It used to be that these honors went to great explorers like Sir Richard Burton, great generals like Lord Roberts and Lord Kitchener, great actors like Sir John Gielgud and Sir Laurence Olivier, great writers like Charles Dickens and Agatha Christie–but as the twentieth century progressed, an increasing number of Jews and trashy “celebrities” snuck in, which is how we end up with the likes of “Sir Elton John.” The system has always been open to abuse, and beginning with heavy Jewish infiltration of the peerage in the 1920s, every ten or fifteen years or so there’s an “honors for cash” scandal. This one looks especially juicy. (more…)

Inflation: The Hidden Cost of War

Filed under: — @ 12:01 am

by Rep. Ron Paul

The Pentagon recently reported that it now spends roughly $8.4 billion per month waging the war in Iraq, while the additional cost of our engagement in Afghanistan brings the monthly total to a staggering $10 billion. Since 2001, Congress has spent more than $500 billion on specific appropriations for Iraq. This sum is not reflected in official budget and deficit figures. Congress has funded the war by passing a series of so-called “supplemental” spending bills, which are passed outside of the normal appropriations process and thus deemed off-budget.

This is fundamentally dishonest: if we’re going to have a war, let’s face the costs – both human and economic – squarely. Congress has no business hiding the costs of war through accounting tricks.

As the war in Iraq surges forward, and the administration ponders military action against Iran, it’s important to ask ourselves an overlooked question: Can we really afford it? If every American taxpayer had to submit an extra five or ten thousand dollars to the IRS this April to pay for the war, I’m quite certain it would end very quickly. The problem is that government finances war by borrowing and printing money, rather than presenting a bill directly in the form of higher taxes. When the costs are obscured, the question of whether any war is worth it becomes distorted.

Congress and the Federal Reserve Bank have a cozy, unspoken arrangement that makes war easier to finance. Congress has an insatiable appetite for new spending, but raising taxes is politically unpopular. The Federal Reserve, however, is happy to accommodate deficit spending by creating new money through the Treasury Department. In exchange, Congress leaves the Fed alone to operate free of pesky oversight and free of political scrutiny. Monetary policy is utterly ignored in Washington, even though the Federal Reserve system is a creation of Congress.

The result of this arrangement is inflation. And inflation finances war. (more…)

The Irrelevance of Military Victory

Filed under: — @ 11:45 pm

by Rep. Ron Paul

A military victory in Iraq is unattainable, just as it was in the Vietnam War.

At the close of the Vietnam War in 1975, a telling conversation took place between an NVA colonel named Tu and an American colonel named Harry Summers. Col. Summers reportedly said, “You never beat us on the battlefield.” Tu replied, “That may be so, but it is also irrelevant.” It is likewise irrelevant to seek military victory in Iraq.

As conditions deteriorate in Iraq, the American people are told more blood must be spilled to achieve just such a military victory. Twenty thousand additional troops and another $100 billion are needed for a “surge.” Yet the people remain rightfully skeptical.

Though we’ve been in Iraq nearly four years, the meager goal today simply is to secure Baghdad. This hardly shows that the mission is even partly accomplished.

Astonishingly, American taxpayers now will be forced to finance a multi-billion-dollar jobs program in Iraq. Suddenly the war is about jobs! We export our manufacturing jobs to Asia, and now we plan to export our welfare jobs to Iraq – all at the expense of the poor and middle class here at home. (more…)

The Crime of the Century

Filed under: — @ 6:36 am

by Paul Craig Roberts

If Only

President George W. Bush’s invasion of Iraq is the greatest crime of the 21st century.

Armed with a powerful moral case against Bush, whose lies are responsible for a war that has caused thousands of U.S. casualties and killed vast numbers of Iraqi civilians, Democratic leaders are damning Bush’s war because it did not succeed!

The Bush regime lied and fabricated “evidence” that was used to deceive Congress, the American people, and the United Nations. The vice president of the United States and the national security adviser created public images of mushroom clouds going up over American cities unless Iraq was invaded and Saddam Hussein’s terrible weapons of mass destruction were destroyed.

At the time that these absurd claims were being made, experts knew that they were false. Today everyone knows that the claims were lies.

The invasion of Iraq under false pretenses comprises solid grounds for impeaching both Bush and Cheney and for turning them over to the War Crimes Tribunal at the Hague. Under the Nuremberg standard, to commit unprovoked aggression is a war crime. (more…)

Support the Troops by Ending the War

Filed under: — @ 12:45 am

US Troops in Iraq

I have never met anyone who did not support our troops. Sometimes, however, we hear accusations that someone or some group does not support the men and women serving in our armed forces. This is pure demagoguery, and it’s intellectually dishonest. The accusers play on emotions to gain support for controversial policies, implying that those who disagree are unpatriotic. But keeping our troops out of harm’s way, especially when war is unnecessary, is never unpatriotic. There’s no better way to support the troops.

Since we now know that Iraq had no weapons of mass destruction and was not threatening anyone, we must come to terms with 3,000 American deaths and 23,000 American casualties. It’s disconcerting that those who never believed the justifications given for our invasion, and who now want the war ended, are still accused of not supporting the troops! This is strange indeed!

Some Third World Immigrants Want to Stone Women

Filed under: — @ 1:50 am

Grape Picking Robot

For decades liberal White women were among the biggest cheerleaders for Third World immigration into America. No doubt they got some warm fuzzy feeling whenever another Sudanese or Nigerian family turned up in their city often assisted by the local church. No one in their circle of friends asked “impolite” questions such as “Could these people truly assimilate into American society or would they become yet another addition to the massive welfare underclass?”

The attitude of many women has finally changed thanks to the massive Latino invasion of America. White women often find the local public school filled up with illegal alien children. Public schools which provided good quality education just one generation ago are now bilingual disasters with overcrowded classes, gang problems and slow-witted Latino children holding back the rate at which classes can be taught. The devastating destruction of the public schools -over just one generation- is too much for many women, who have finally given up liberal delusions about immigration. (more…)
