Wolfowitz - Guilty As More Than Charged!
April 17, 2007 on 12:45 pm | Posted by mer | In General | No CommentsThere’s much much more to the Wolfowitz story about his girlfriend. But it’s his Middle East agenda which is far more scandalous. A few quickies right now.
Paul Wolfowitz has long been considered one of the most pro-Israeli Zionist operatives in Washington. Here he is pictured with Ariel Sharon and other leading American Jewish Neocons, all proteges of Sharon and his Likud Party, who all played vital roles in bringing about the invasion and occupation of Iraq.
** When Wolfowitz took the job he brought with him two blowhards from the Pentagon to help him quickly take over the bank and purge the professionals standing in his way. Within two years fully 50% of the Bank’s top professionals were outed, including the head of the Middle East division.
** While still the #2 at the Pentagon Wolfowitz arranged illegal double-dipping for his girlfriend; the full facts of which remain hidden from public view. What we’re hearing is that Wolfowitz sent his girlfriend to SAIC, one of the biggest Pentagon “private sector” agents where she was to lend a hand at matters Middle Eastern. The Bank was never told, her compensation was never revealed, and in fact it is totally against firm Bank rules for things of this kind to take place without an explicit bank ok.
* When Wolfowitz came to the bank in 2005 he not only got his girlfriend sent over to the State Dept (where she reported to the Vice President’s daughter who had been made the Assistant Secretary of State for the Middle East (no joking!) but he also arranged for Congress to fund with some $40 million plus a new Foundation to bring Democracy to the Middle East. As of this scandal the Foundation has no accomplishments, no reports, no hired staff, and not even a phone of its own! The one person who has been seen sitting around the Foundation’s sub-leased office…you guessed it…Wolfowitz’s girlfriend…
And there’s more….coming soon…
President Giuliani, or Queen Giuliani?

“New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, right, dressed in drag as a role in “Victor/Victoria,” sings with Julie Andrews at the New York Hilton in this March 1, 1997 file photo, during an event presented by the Inner Circle. Shocking New Yorkers is difficult, yet Giuliani teetered close to the line when he sauntered on stage wearing a platinum blond wig, a face full of makeup, dainty white gloves and a frilly pink gown filled out in all the right places. Dressing in drag is de rigeuer for New York mayors at the city’s annual Inner Circle dinner - but how it will play with conservative voters in the Republican presidential primaries is unknown.

911 Truth? Bin Laden interview from Nov. 2001
April 13, 2007 on 11:00 pm | Posted by mer | In General | 1 Comment
All these years after 911, as serious people begin to ask serious questions about the realities of that horrible day, I thought it would be interesting to take a look at this old interview conducted by the Pakistani Dawn newspaper with Osama Bin Laden just a few months after 911. This was published during the war in Afghanistan, before the attack on Tora Bora.

Scott Ritter on the sad, tragic, enraging state of affairs in Washington
April 9, 2007 on 2:47 pm | Posted by Mark Bruzonsky | In General | No CommentsThis from Scott Ritter at the end of March is a very helpful summing up of the situation in Washington, the Democrats pretending and hiding, the Republicans twisting and awaiting the right moment to greatly expand the Middle East ‘Clash of Civilizations’ (their War On Terrorism) so it will not be extinguishable no matter who is the next President… Mark Bruzonsky

Wolfowitz, corrupt.

Only two words needed to describe this man and yet another story that demonstrates the contempt for basic ethical standards that has become the hallmark of Washington neocons.
Paul Wolfowitz, the former deputy Secretary of Defense under Donald Rumsfeld has given his “girlfriend” at the World Bank a raise so huge that she now earns more than the Secretary of State. A few newspapers reported recently that the raise was approved by the World Bank board of directors, but they are denying any knowledge of the issue. Continue reading…
