Fascism alert:

 

Speaker J. Dennis Hastert released the following statement regarding the meeting next week of the conferees on the 9/11 Recommendations Implementation Act:

 

"I am glad that the conferees will be meeting next week for the first public meeting of the conference on the 9/11 Recommendations Implementation Act. Intelligence Committee Chairman Pete Hoekstra, who will chair this conference committee, will do an excellent job of bringing people together to get a legislative result that will make the country safer. He will work well with Senator Susan Collins, who did such an admirable job getting legislation through the Senate."

 

Full text of announcement

 

The House version -- by standardizing state drivers licenses under federal control -- implements a virtual national ID and internal passport scheme in the U.S.

 

The Senate bill does not contain that language.

 

If the House prevails in conference, President Bush will sign a bill ... before the election ... implementing a national ID in America.

 

Time's up, folks ... this is it ... the jail door is about to slam shut for good.

See you in Sweden!

Platoon defies orders in Iraq; cites safety concerns

Fri Oct 15 2004 13:25:51 ET

 

The CLARION LEDGER reported in Friday editions:

 

A 17-member Army Reserve platoon with troops from Jackson and around the Southeast deployed to Iraq is under arrest for refusing a "suicide mission" to deliver fuel, the troops' relatives said Thursday.

 

The soldiers refused an order on Wednesday to go to Taji, Iraq ? north of Baghdad ? because their vehicles were considered "deadlined" or extremely unsafe, said Patricia McCook of Jackson, wife of Sgt. Larry O. McCook.

Yikes.

 

Let's hope they don't demand a copy of the Declaration of War (per the Constitution) authorizing their presence in Iraq.

 

That could be really embarrassing.

With Greenspan talking down oil and the matrix "claiming" that the Nigerian oil strike is temporarlity averted, the big bet was that the price of oil would plummet today. The Boys must really be freaking out that they are unable to stuff this thing down. Monday portends ugliness for oil shorts, me thinkee

'They' don't get it.

 

Yes, they have $2 trillion worth of Treasuries, and a printing press.

 

Yes, they have thousands of tonnes of gold (so they say).

 

But their Strategic Petroleum Reserve is a drop in the bucket ... no credible threat.

 

Unlike stocks, bonds and gold, crude oil cannot be pegged with 'words.'

 

Either you have it, or you don't.

 

If you don't, you walk or get on your bike.

Here's what's really going on Re: oil:

 

XI'AN, Oct. 15 (Xinhuanet) -- Russia-China regional cooperation will bring substantive benefits to both countries, Russian President said here Friday.

 

Visiting Russian President Vladimir Putin made the remarks while meeting with leaders of five northwest China provinces and autonomous regions.

 

Shaanxi, along with other 11 provinces, autonomous regions and municipality in west China, are main parts of China's western region development, Putin noted.

 

Putin said Russian local governments and businesses should takean active part in China's western region development, which will promote the development of Euro-Asia continent in various fields.

 

Russia enjoys rich experience, advanced technology and quality personnel in oil and mineral exploration and delivery, said Putin,adding Russian machinery and equipment businesses should bid for China's big projects like Qinghai-Tibet Railway, hydropower stations in Sichuan and Yunnan, natural gas projects in western regions etc.

 

China's western region is a habitat of China's established science and industry bases, making it possible for Russia China tocooperate in high-tech and personnel training, Putin said.

Geopolitically, it would not be surprising if Russia and China announced an Asian version of America's Monroe doctrine.

 

That is, that western hemisphere countries such as the U.S. are precluded from having a millitary or resource exploitation presence in the eastern hemisphere.

 

The east is for the easterners, in other words.

 

Imagine that ... :mellow:

That being the case, you can rest assured that an AlQaeda Cell is about to become very active in Venezuela...and we're going to have to get in there and kick some butt to protect "our oil."

I think increased deployment of jets and troops from China/Russia to Kyrgyzstan are the first signs of something like that.
