Although, some Washington Insiders will only whisper their doubts about 911, Paul Craig Roberts is not one of them.

What the Iraq War Is About
by Paul Craig Roberts
April 23, 2008

Quote:

…….the American sheeple have accepted a succession of transparent lies: weapons of mass destruction, al-Qaeda connections and complicity in the 9/11 attack, overthrowing a dictator and "bringing democracy" to Iraqis.
The great, moral American people would rather believe government lies than to acknowledge the government's crimes and to hold the government accountable.

If the U.S. invaded Iraq for any of the succession of reasons the Bush regime has given, why would the U.S. have spent $750 million on a fortress "embassy" with anti-missile systems and its own electricity and water systems spread over 104 acres? No one has ever seen or heard of such an embassy before. Clearly, this "embassy" is constructed as the headquarters of an occupying colonial ruler.

The fact is that Bush invaded Iraq with the intent of turning Iraq into an American colony. The so-called government of Maliki is not a government. Maliki is the well paid front man for U.S. colonial rule. Maliki's government does not exist outside the protected Green Zone, the headquarters of the American occupation.

The more likely explanation for the U.S. invasion of Iraq is the neoconservative Bush regime's commitment to the defense of Israeli territorial expansion. There is no such thing as a neoconservative who is not allied with Israel. Israel hopes to steal all of the West Bank and southern Lebanon for its territorial expansion. An American colonial regime in Iraq not only buttresses Israel from attack, but also can pressure Syria and Iran not to support the Palestinians and Lebanese. The Iraqi war is a war for Israeli territorial expansion. Americans are dying and bleeding to death financially for Israel. Bush's "war on terror" is a hoax that serves to cover U.S. intervention in the Middle East on behalf of "greater Israel."

God, is there some way we can dig into the archives and vote on the most boring post ever? I say this one.

Give the man three rings

Farangrakthai · 23rd April 2008, 16:59

…….the American sheeple

So witty! Idiot.

One day you might get good enough to be chairman of the bord

Farangrakthai · 23rd April 2008, 17:09

regarding sheeple, I guess he's just frustrated that Americans aren't waking up to what's going on. though he should have the "audacity of hope", as it were, that America will get through this all and come to its senses without financially collapsing, etc.

Jesse Ventura (former explosives guy for the Navy Seals, wrestler and Minnesota govenor) is another guy I'm impressed with who is putting himself and his reputation out there to say it, even though the average American Joe (agreed "sheeple" is offensive) will call him a crazy conspiracy nut.

Quote:

Ventura: Well, you know, the general public—remember, I like to quote my friend Jack Nicholson sometimes: "You can’t handle the truth." And there’s points where if you do tell the truth, and it makes people personally uncomfortable, they get irritated, not being able to face the truth and have it put in front of them. You know, a lot of people don’t like that….I can only be me, and I’m not going to change who I am.

radio interview about 9/11:

Quote:

Alex Jones' Infowars: There's a war on for your mind!

Former Governor Jesse Ventura broke through enemy lines yesterday, exposing major inconsistencies with the official 9/11 story and holding his own against some of mainstream media’s most disingenuous hosts, including Fox News’ Sean Hannity and Opie & Anthony from XM Satellite radio.

Quote:

Don't Start the Revolution Without Me! (Hardcover)

Jesse Ventura has had many lives—as a Navy SEAL, as a star of pro wrestling, as an actor, and as the governor of Minnesota. His previous books, I Ain't Got Time to Bleed and Do I Stand Alone?, were both national bestsellers. Don't Start the Revolution Without Me! is the story of his controversial gubernatorial years and his life since deciding not to seek a second term as governor in 2002. Written with award-winning author Dick Russell at a secluded location on Mexico's Baja Peninsula, Ventura's new book reveals for the first time why he left politics—and why he is now considering reentering the arena with a possible independent run for the presidency in 2008.

In a fast-paced and often humorous narrative, Ventura pulls no punches in discussing our corrupt two-party system, the disastrous war in Iraq, and what he suspects really happened on September 11. He provides personal insights into the Clinton and Bush presidencies, and elaborates on the ways in which third parties are rendered impotent by the country's two dominant parties. He reveals the illegal role of the CIA in states like Minnesota, sensitive and up-to-date information on the Blackwater security firm, the story of the American spies who shadowed him on a trade mission to Cuba, and what Fidel Castro told him about who really assassinated President John F. Kennedy. This unique political memoir is a must-read for anyone concerned about the direction that America will take in 2008. 16 b/w photographs.

Probe V7N1: Jesse Ventura Takes On the Establishment re JFK Case

Quote:

The word was that Gov. Jesse Ventura of Minnesota had made some controversial remarks in the upcoming November issue of Playboy. Alcorn told me that Ventura’s comments on organized religion and gun control would be talked about. But he added that his comments of the JFK case were really something.

I picked up a copy of that issue at the newsstand. As I read the interview I immediately could see that the governor was no blow-dried, Madison Avenue fashioned slick politician. Whatever one feels about the content of the interview, Ventura was quite candid and unguarded about his thoughts on important issues. Consider:

On gun control: "You want to know my definition of gun control? Being able to stand there at 25 meters and put two rounds in the same hole. That’s gun control."

On the Christian Coalition: "Organized religion is a sham and a crutch for weak-minded people who need strength in numbers. It tells people to go out and stick their noses in other people’s business. I live by the golden rule: Treat others as you’d want them to treat you. The religious right wants to tell people how to live."

On the press: "They need [to be attacked]. Nobody holds them accountable. No one holds their feet to the fire."

On prostitution: "Prostitution is criminal, and bad things happen because it’s run illegally by dirtbags who are criminals. If it’s legal, then the girls could have health checks, unions, benefits, anything any other worker gets, and it would be for the better."

On the crime issue: "That’s a local issue and I don’t believe in micromanagement. Sure I’m concerned about it, but it’s not the governor’s job to handle it. That’s for mayors, city councils. I’m not going to sit here and be a typical politician [bangs his desk] and say ‘I’m going to fight crime.’ Half these guys wouldn’t know crime if it bit them on the ass."

On the 2nd Amendment: "Our forefathers put it in there so the general citizenry has the ability to combat an oppressive government. It’s not in there to make sure I can go hunting on weekends."

On cynicism about political leaders: "The answer is that people are searching for the truth, for someone they can truly believe in. The truth may not be what they want to hear, but they at least know they’re getting it."

These statements, to say the least, are not the pre-recorded stock answers that advisers beat into their bosses. Whatever one thinks of them, they show that, at least for right now, Ventura is his own man. And only that type could have made the remarks he did—to an audience of 3.4 million readers—on the murder of President Kennedy. Ventura led off with this blast at the Warren Commission:

Name me one person who can verify that the Warren Commission is factual. You’re talking to an ex-Navy Seal here. Oswald had seven seconds to get three rounds off. He’s got a bolt action weapon, and he’s going to miss the first shot and hit the next two?

He then went on to the issues of Oswald and the classification process:

If Oswald was indeed who they say he was—a disgruntled little Marine who got angry and became pro-Marxist and decided to shoot the president—please explain why everything would be locked in the archives until 2029 and put under national security? How could he affect national security?

Ventura even went on to outline who he thought was behind the murder and what the motive was. He believed the actual assassins were hired guns, maybe Cubans, maybe Europeans. He added that they were hired by agents of the military-industrial complex. He then added their motive was to prevent Kennedy’s impending withdrawal from Vietnam. Ventura then went on to explain the reason the media hasn’t told the truth about the case:

That’s because every bit of real evidence is ridiculed. The method is to dismiss it by saying: "Oh that’s just those conspiracy nuts."

With these outspoken, bare-knuckled remarks on a political murder that will not disappear, as well as continuing remarks made since, Ventura has become the highest-level politician to launch a virulent and sustained attack on the official story. Jim Garrison was only a local District Attorney. Representative Tom Downing was a Congressman. And Senator Richard Schweiker was not this blunt in his public comments.

Of course, the interview made Ventura a lightning rod in Washington. Admirably, the governor did not shirk the battle. Shortly afterwards, Ventura appeared on This Week
