Neocon
Court Coup and the Politics of Disaster
Revisited - by Paul Collins
|
 WWW,
2006 (Archived) - On September
8th, 2005, my article "Katrina
and the Politics of Disaster"
was published. The ink was not even dry as
the article's major contentions were
vindicated. No, this does not make me or
anyone else who saw things in advance
prophets. The article's accuracy can be
attributed more to common sense (a scarce
commodity these days) than anything else.
Playing solitaire will get you better
acquainted with yourself, but it will not
make you a great poker player. On the other
hand, watching Chris Ferguson or Phil Ivey
play a few hands will give you an idea of
how the game is played. The same principle
applies here. Studying the cases of elite
criminality and elitist tracts will give you
the uncanny ability to predict the future.

Jewish
extremists may crash plane on Temple Mount |
| WWW,
2004 (Archived) - Israeli security officials
have recently become increasingly concerned
that right-wing extremists might be plotting
an attack on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem
to derail Israel's planned withdrawal from
the Gaza Strip. The Shin Bet security
service and the police are preparing for a
number of possible terror attack scenarios
at the sacred Old City site, Israeli
security sources said on Saturday night.

US
and Iran agree: Sharia is 'all you need...'
|
| WWW,
2003 (Archived) - If you have gotten the
impression that the US is opposing Muslim
extremism, the following will be shocking.
At the end of 2002, the US, Iran and other
powers convened a meeting in Rome to plan
the creation of a new Muslim religious
government for Afghanistan. A key official
at the meeting announced that Muslim
religious governments were in general a good
idea for "developing" countries.
There is overwhelming evidence that the
sensational news of this shocking meeting
was suppressed.

The
US retreat from democratization
|
| WWW,
2004 (Archived) - An important motive behind
the Bush administration's intervention in
Iraq was the goal of fostering democracy in
the Middle East. This motive, recognized as
critical to United States interests
following the September 11 attacks, is based
on the belief that autocratic,
non-democratic states have a higher
potential to create disaffected individuals
who join political groups that seek to use
violence to exercise their political
grievances. This pattern is especially
prevalent in the Middle East, where
autocracy is the norm and where most of the
militants attacking US interests are
located.

The
Two Faces Of Donald Rumsfeld |
 WWW,
2003 (Archived) - Donald Rumsfeld,
the US defence secretary, sat on the board
of a company which three years ago sold two
light water nuclear reactors to North Korea
- a country he now regards as part of the
"axis of evil" and which has been
targeted for regime change by Washington
because of its efforts to build nuclear
weapons. Mr Rumsfeld was a non-executive
director of ABB, a European engineering
giant based in Zurich, when it won a $200m (£125m)
contract to provide the design and key
components for the reactors. The current
defence secretary sat on the board from 1990
to 2001, earning $190,000 a year. He left to
join the Bush administration.
