An analysis of Pentagon budget
documents by the Associated
Press reveals that spending on
military propaganda has increased
dramatically over the past five
years.
The Pentagon has increased its
propaganda budget by 63 percent
since 2003 to counteract image
problems faced by the US military
abroad and to furtively inculcate
support for on-going military
occupations among citizens here
at home. The Associated Press
reported that the Pentagon plans
to spend $4.7 billion for
propaganda in the coming year.
The largest portion of the military
propaganda budget is spent to
recruit new soldiers, $1,6 billion.
The Pentagon will spend $489
million on psychological
operations targeted at foreign
audiences and $547 million on
“public affairs” that is targeted
specifically at American audiences
in 2009.
An example of the Pentagon’s
propaganda campaign here in the
US is the military run Joint
Hometown News Service. The
service provides free “news
stories” to local newspapers and
television stations that are
attributed to authors by name,
but the authors are not identified
as military personnel and the
releases are not disclosed to
come from the Pentagon news
service. The Service plans to
provide 5400 free news releases
to US newspapers in the coming
year, in addition to 3000
television video releases and 1600
radio releases. it's all true

The crime and drug watchdog at the
United Nations said that he believes
that monies generated by the sale of
illicit drugs has been used by the
world’s banks to remain liquid as the
worldwide financial crisis becomes
more acute and many banks face the
prospect of becoming insolvent.
Antonio Maria Costa, the director of
the UN Office on Drugs and Crime,
told an Austrian news weekly, “In the
second half of 2008, liquidity was the
banking system’s main problem and
hence liquid capital became an
important factor...In many instances,
drug money is currently the only
liquid investment capital.”
Costa said that the UNODC has
found evidence that “interbank loans
were funded by money that
originated from drug trade and other
illegal activities.” Costa said that
there were “signs that some banks
were rescued in that way.” The UN
reports that the worldwide drug
trade totals $323 billion a year and a
some of these funds have been used
to by banks to prop themselves up as
the economy declined. it's all true

The judges who preside over military
tribunals at the detainee holding camp at
Guantanamo, Cuba, have responded to
the presidential directive to halt trials at
the detention center by ending hearings
related to several of the 245 captives
held there by the US military. Although
this is the case, some of the judges
overseeing the cases, including the senior
judge in charge of the tribunal system,
have been criticized for their delay in
their implementation of the directive of
the new president. One of the judges
commented, as a part of the record in a
proceeding involving a detainee, that
the president’s directive was
unreasonable.

Judge James Pohl denied a motion in a
tribunal hearing regarding a Saudi man
who is accused of helping to plot the
terror attack on the USS Cole in 2000
when prosecutors sought to delay the
prosecution based upon the directive of
President Obama. Pohl said that the
request to delay the trial for 120 days
based upon the presidential order was
“not reasonable.” Pohl went further to
say that the presidential order to delay
the trials while his administration reviews
the cases against the detainees “did not
serve the interest of justice.”

The Saudi, Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri, was

and in solitary confinement at the
Guantanamo detention facility for 6
years before eventually being charged
with plotting the attack on the USS
Cole in 2008.
The presiding judge at the detainee
camp, Susan Crawford, moved to
dismiss the charges against al-Nashiri
so that the presidential order could
be effectuated. Crawford dismissed
the case without prejudice so that
al-Nashiri could be charged again in
the future. The legal tactic has been
used before by other Bush appointed
military judges. it's all true

The National Security Administration is
developing a powerful computer based
information sifting technology that is
designed to answer questions about,
and, more frighteningly, predict the
behaviors of countries, institutions and
individuals.
The Advanced Question Answering
Research and Development Activity
(AQUAINT) program is being designed
to answer direct questions by intuiting
future behaviors based upon analyzing
data collected from public and private
sources. According to its developers,
AQUAINT “allows users to pose a series
of intertwined, complex questions and
obtain comprehensive answers in the
context of broad information-gathering
tasks.” The NSA computers posit
predictive behaviors and forecast future
actions by mining phone records, credit

The Special Inspector General for Iraq
Reconstruction has released a report
reviewing the failures in the multi-billion
dollar effort to rebuild the occupied
country’s infrastructure that was
shattered as US and coalition forces
invaded.
Stuart W. Bowen released the report
entitled “Hard Lessons: The Iraq
Reconstruction Experience” that found
US forces and private contracting firms
hired by the US spent a “sea of taxpayer
dollars” but were ultimately “unprepared
and ill-equipped to deal with…a post
conflict environment torn by violence,
looters, criminals, a nascent insurgency;
a government in a state of complete
collapse; and an economy that had
slipped into idle and the switched off.”

a government in a state of complete
collapse; and an economy that had

The report details examples of
incomplete and fraud-ridden projects in
Iraq such as the “skeletal, half-built”
maximum-security prison in Khan Bani
Saad. The prison project cost $40
million and “will probably never house an
inmate.” Bowen said the unfinished
prison project is “perhaps the single
greatest project failure in the US
reconstruction program” but the
problems that plagued the project typify
the types of waste and fraud that are
rampant in occupied Iraq.
Bowen said that although he uncovered
“egregious examples of fraud,” the
largest impediment to reconstruction
was waste that “grossly over burdened”
the program. Bowen said that the
greatest waste of taxpayer dollars came
from “cost-plus contracts, high
contractor overhead expenses and
excessive contractor award fees.”

In a hearing before a special
bipartisan panel convened to
investigate contracting irregularities in
post-invasion Iraq, Bowen said that
the “overarching hard lesson” learned
in Iraq was to “beware of pursuing
large-scale reconstruction programs
while significant conflict continues.”
Bowen said that the lessons learned
in the Iraq experience should be
applied as America looks toward the
reconstruction of another invaded
country, Afghanistan. Bowen told
the Senate panel that the Iraq
reconstruction report’s findings are
“compellingly important for this
commission and for the Congress and
for the country, as the

expands.” Congress has appropriated
$32 billion for Afghanistan
reconstruction. it's all true

With national financial systems reeling
from the collapse of the global
economy, outbursts of popular and
political insurrection that have swept
across Europe and have appeared in
Russia, China and the Far East are
becoming more frequent and more
violent leading politicians and social
scientists to warn that the rebellion and
rioting that is a consequence of growing
economic deprivation can be expected
to be a constant feature of the
depression the world has entered into.
In December, with millions of workers
protesting in the streets of Paris and
throughout France, President Nicholas
Sarkozy warned of a resurgence of “May
1968” protests enveloping all of Europe.
The attention of the world was focused
on Greece in December, when weeks of
protests turned violent leading
authorities to temporarily cede the
streets to looters and vandals during the
worst public demonstrations seen in the
country in more than 30 years. The
Greek protests spawned demonstrations
of support by citizens in Moscow,
Madrid and Berlin. Since the riots in
Greece in the middle of December,
social unrest has occurred in France,
Iceland, Russia, China, Latvia, Bulgaria,
the Philippines and Madagascar.

In France, a strike staged by public
sector workers backed by France’s
largest unions was joined by private
sector employees virtually shutting down
businesses and services nationwide. A
leader of a moderate union in France
said that the general strike was a “cry of
anger” by common workers and citizens
who see the country’s politicians
propping up failed financial institutions
with billions of tax dollars while social
services have been cut back and
hundreds of thousands have become
jobless. In England, a wildcat strike by
laid-off construction workers grew
rapidly into a nationwide action
supported by workers employed in both
the public and private sectors.

economist Robert Wade told a gathering
of protesters that a wave of civil unrest
is inescapable because of the growing
awareness of workers “throughout
