Hi Jabou,

Thanks for the links. I guess they've lied so much and for so long that they've begun to believe their own lies. It seems it does not even matter to them that their lies don't add up. 

On the national TV here earlier today I saw a report about the lies concocted by British intelligence and peddled by Bush and co. about Iraq's alleged attempts to acquire Uranium from Niger. The line was that Powel, who tried to sell the story to the world is now angry (and feels himself used) for having been lied to about the authenticity of the original documents. I could not help but wonder if the guy believed in the authenticity of all the 'evidence' he presented to the UN whiles the whole world watched.

I never trusted the guy after reading his autobiography and not finding a single mention of Malcolm X. A black man of his generation? How come? - I continue to wonder.

When the line about an alleged uprising in Basra arose I could swear it was just another lie in their disinformation campaign intended create confusion. With all the 'experts' on Iraq and the Middle East on their payroll they 'seem surprised' by the fierceness of Iraqi resistance. The word 'reality' seems to have been stricken from their vocabulary altogether.

Anyway, another good site to follow events and get objective analysis from is the World Socialist Website: http://www.wsws.org/.  

I have also found The Nation: http://www.thenation.com/ to be quite useful.

Regards,

Kabir.

  Kabir & Saul or is it AMS?

  Thanks for the forward on Independent Media Sites.

  More and more people are searching out and turning to the independent media
  to get correct propaganda-free information both about the war and the agenda
  of people like Bush and others of like mind who see the World as an open
  territiry for their taking. The lies are simply begining to unravel in a big
  way.

  The mainstream media is a tool of the military Industrial complex that owns
  and controls it, and which stands to gain from the war agenda of the Bush
  administration. They dare not report the truth. Their only role in this
  masterplan is to help  indoctrinitate and and reports lies to the people.
  Does it not seem like one is listening to Rumsfeld, Bush, Ari Fleisher and
  Co. when you listen to CNN and the other major networks?
  Journalist who have  had video tapes of what was really taking place in the
  last war with Iraq snatched out of their hands by TV network executives and
  fired on the spot are now relaying these incidents on the Independent media
  circuit.

  The coverage of the war by Al Jazeera Television out of the Middle East  that
  makes it's way to the U.S via the independent networks, and which threatens
  to uncover the lies being perpetrated by the mainstream media on behalf of
  the government is the only reason the Bush administration has admitted to
  some of the casualties as well as the bombs dropped in civilian
  neighbourhoods.

  Pacifica Radio, Feespeech TV, World link TV  and other independent media
  outlets are cropping up all over the country and they are coordinating their
  efforts.
  Amy Goodman mentioned by Saul or AMS is with Freespeech TV.

  I have forwarded the links to these sites before, and here they are again:
  If you have a satelite dish, you can catch :

  FreespeechTV on Channel 9415  (Website www.freespeech.org)
  World Link TV on Channel 9410  ( Website www.worldlinktv.org)

  Below is a website that lists other websites that will give you an
  alternative to the corporate media.

  http://www.freespeech.org/fsitv/fscm2/genx.php?name=great_websites

  Please check out the series entitled "McJihad, Islam in the U.S Global order"
  that was forwarded to me and which I posted to the list last week.
  It is very educational and will give you a real view of the sinister plan to
  dominate the World that has been ongoing since the advent of colonialism and
  now has a newer,  more brutal face, with  more daring tactics but with the
  same objectives.
