The militarization of Canada:
Canadian invasion exercise
"In a $19-million training exercise, troops will stage an amphibious assault on a beach in North Carolina next week, with U.S. navy's help.
A military spokesperson says it's all just an experiment, but one analyst says the exercise is a response to new global threats that may require Canada to challenge a rogue state by mounting a seaborne assault."


The U.S. wants the Canadian Navy to help search cargo vessels for illicit nuclear material going to or from North Korea.

Imperial Fortifications: The U.S.A. and Empire

The Kuwait-based company building the $592-million Baghdad project is the exception.
Brutal and inhumane, he says "I’ve never seen a project more fucked up. Every US labor law was broken."

American backed Death Squads ensure a smooth “Balkanization” of Iraq
About the assassination of Iraqi academics.
"Patrick Lang, former chief of Middle East analysis for the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency says: “What those of us in El Salvador learned was that American policy might call for surgical action, but once the local troops are involved, they’re as likely to use a chain-saw as a scalpel.
And that, too, can serve American ends.

In almost any counter-insurgency, the basic message the government or the occupiers tries to get across to the population is brutally simple: “We can protect you from the guerrillas, but the guerrillas can’t protect you from us, and you’ve got to choose sides.”

Sometimes you can win the population’s hearts and minds; sometimes you just have to make them more frightened of you than they are of the insurgents.” And for this aim they use the Wolf Brigade, the Scorpions Brigade, the Lions Brigade, the Peshmerga’s and the “security forces” of the Ministry of Interior."

Tangram: Son of Total Information Awareness
"In effect, according to the Air Force Materiel Command, Tangram compiles “a set of disjointed technologies that are difficult for non-technical users to apply, cumbersome to configure into a self-configuring, continuously operating system” and will, with enough money and jobbing out to the usual suspects (Booz Allen Hamilton, 21st Century Technologies, and SRI International) create “a fully automated, continuously operating, intelligence analysis support system” designed to snare terrorists, that is to say anybody who organizes against or merely talks about opposing our rulers.

The Bushes and The Lost King
"Just as with the events on 9/11, there is the "official story"; in the case of Kennedy, it was the "lone gunman"; in the case of 9/11, it was 19 improbable terrorists directed by a cave-dwelling mastermind.
In fact, Osama bin Laden and Lee Harvey Oswald have a lot in common: both worked for the CIA.

In the end, what has ruled America for the past 43 years is a corrupt government that took power on November 22nd, 1963, in a coup d'etat that worked from that day forward towards the goal of turning the United States of America into a Fascist machine for World Conquest: the New World Order."
