Emile,

Thank you so much for bringing up that article!

Excerpt:

Despite a natural human tendency to be shocked into silence by the sheer number of dead and injured across Asia on 26 December 2004, and despite also being slightly fearful of losing personal credibility because of the magnitude of the apparent crime, there are many provable irregularities in the official American tsunami story that simply have to be recorded now, or forever be lost in the sands of time.

It is beyond any doubt that a [freak] tidal wave (tsunami) smashed its way through South and South East Asia, and still had enough legs to continue all the way across the Indian Ocean to Africa, where it killed and injured a few hundred more. So the only question we must ask, is whether this tsunami was a natural or man-made catastrophe? A natural event would be horrifying enough, but if the tsunami was man-made, then we are unquestionably looking at the biggest single war crime in global history...


...after Hiroshima and Nagasaki(*). At this point, I'd like to share some reflections of mine. Is such a criminal, bloodthirsty behavior particular to the American people? Or is it the nature of Power, of Geopolitical Hegemony?

I'm of the opinion that geopolitical supremacy --Power, in short-- can disfigure the most benevolent people or country... in pretty much the same way as Tolkien's Ring compels the most innocuous creatures (such as Hobbits) into murderous feelings. Seventy years ago, the "Ring" was property of European powers (France, Britain, Germany, Russia) and History showed that Europe too proved unable to handle it... Is the US following the same bloody, calamitous path as Weimar Germany?

(*) The most spectacular episode of Truman’s presidency will never be forgotten, but will be forever linked to his name: the atomic bombings of Hiroshima on August 6, 1945 and of Nagasaki three days later. Probably around two hundred thousand persons were killed in the attacks and through radiation poisoning; the vast majority were civilians, including several thousand Korean workers. Twelve U.S. Navy fliers incarcerated in a Hiroshima jail were also among the dead.

Great controversy has always surrounded the bombings. One thing Truman insisted on from the start: The decision to use the bombs, and the responsibility it entailed, was his. Over the years, he gave different, and contradictory, grounds for his decision. Sometimes he implied that he had acted simply out of revenge. To a clergyman who criticized him, Truman responded, testily:

Nobody is more disturbed over the use of Atomic bombs than I am but I was greatly disturbed over the unwarranted attack by the Japanese on Pearl Harbor and their murder of our prisoners of war. The only language they seem to understand is the one we have been using to bombard them.

Re: To force subservience on Asia, and ensure the lion's share of incredibly lucrative reconstruction contracts, all that was needed was a very large tsunami targeted on the selected nations, which was easily within the capabilities of a large thermonuke.

As you know, I believe the Judeofascists' primary goal was not so much to make a little extra money on the side (reconstruction contracts) as to compel South Asia into supporting the US's impending crusade against Iran... Hence my bait-and-switch theory for the relief monies pledged to the tsunami-stricken countries or Terror Diplomacy at its highest:

Message 20910298

So I'd emend Vialls as follows: "To force subservience on South Asia, and ensure her pliancy to the US designs on Iran, all that was needed...."

Crisis with Russia sparks special high-level meeting
By Aluf Benn, Haaretz Correspondent


A "highly classified problem" was the real reason for the special meeting on the crisis in Israel's relations with Russia that Prime Minister Ariel Sharon convened earlier this week, government sources told Haaretz.

The sources said that the information given to the media after the meeting - that Israel is worried by recent statements of an anti-Semitic nature made by President Vladimir Putin - was partial and tendentious, and was aimed at concealing the real reason for the crisis, which Sharon insisted be kept secret.

Participants at the meeting included Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom, Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz, the heads of the intelligence agencies, and a few senior civil servants.

Sharon initially enjoyed a good relationship with Putin, but on his last visit to Russia in November 2003 he failed to persuade the president to drop his idea of getting the United Nations Security Council to adopt the road map peace plan.

It's obvious that the real crisis between Israel and Russia is the latter's opposition to any escalation against Iran.
