Debkafile's Washington sources report that president George W. Bush is closer than ever before to ordering a limited missile-air bombardment of the IRGC-al Qods Brigade’s installations in Iran. It is planned to target training camps and the munitions factories pumping fighters, missiles and roadside bombs to the Iraqi insurgency, Lebanese Hizballah and Palestinian terrorist groups in Gaza.

Iran is geared up for counteraction.

Every once in a while Abraham Harrison gets a great activist client. Clients like Jerry White and the gang at Survivor Corps really make it easy to be the World's Best Boss, because my staff loves public affairs and non-profit work, that's for sure -- clients who do good works and work to change the world for the better. Last time was when we helped pass the Energy Bill in 2007, 35 by 2020, and now we get to rally our passion and help Jerry promote the launch of Survivor Corps, which coincides with I Will Not Be Broken: Five Steps to Overcoming a Life Crisis, which is now on sale nationwide. Anyway, we have put together a social media press release for both I Will Not be Broken and Survivor Corps and you should check them out. Feel free to read excerpts from the book and be my guest and enjoy the introduction and chapter one as a PDF download -- sort of a "try before you buy." We're going to be doing a blogger outreach starting this weekend and we're excited about it -- we're motivated and dedicated. Wish us luck!

Not only are the Loose Change folks unafraid to question the validity of the theory that nineteen Arab hijackers pulled off 9/11 (and I don't agree with their every assertion) but now they have firmly pointed a finger at Offut AFB as the seat of control for Operation Two Towers (if you believe those were war "games" then let's just say this message is not for you). Offut (USSTRATCOM) is where Warren Buffet was on that day!

It was the opening salvo of a campaign to press forward a post-Cold War foreign policy of 'Pax Americana,' a world that the neo-conservatives who made up the bulk of the 25 people who signed PNAC’s statement of principles the previous June saw as a US dominion.

Of course, this is just the latest brainchild of the monster agency from another planet known as the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.  From remote control aviation to the human-machine interface, this entity continuously seeks more and more efficient means of retaining some control over what is left of a soldier's autonomy.  This is the purpose of technology, of course, at least according to the technocracy; corner the market on decision making in the field, be that field economic or military or, as in the case of fascist states, both.

The Bush administration is launching a new government agency that will rely heavily on private security contractors to conduct surveillance in the U.S.  Click here for more at my other blog.

The following is snipped from Government plans to use Flight 93 cockpit tapes in Moussaoui trial: "An official for NetJets, a company that sells shares in private business aircraft, confirmed that the plane tracking Flight 93 belonged to the company. The official, who asked not to be identified by name, said the company was asked not to comment on the Sept. 11 flight but would not say who made the request."
