Plane Used by CIA for Rendition Flights
Crashes in Yucatan Filled with Cocaine
On the evening of Sept 24, 2007, a private Gulfstream jet filled with cocaine crashed in Yucatan Mexico. No bodies were discovered at the crash site, but over a hundred military style duffle bags containing several tons of cocaine were pulled from the wreckage. This particular aircraft, N987SA, has a long history of being used by the CIA for Special Rendition flights. It has logged thousands of miles between DC, Connecticut and Guantanimo Bay and to suspected "black sites" in Europe.
Was the plane still being used by the CIA when it crashed? (continue reading)
Is Waterboarding Torture?
New AG Mukasey Avoids Torture Question
Michael Mukasey could be considered one of the co-founders of the modern era of terrorism. He served as the Judge (Chertoff was the D.A.) on the 1993 WCT bombing case. In that case Mukasey prevented the defense from gaining access to a key government witness, Ali Mohammed, an army Special Forces trained FBI operative who was a key figure in the operation. It was another FBI confidential informer and prosecution witness, Emad Salem, tapes reveal, who actually supplied both the bomb materials and bomb making expertise for the operation. It is no exaggeration to say that the 1993 bombing was largely an FBI run operation.
To protect the government case, and send a chilling message to the civil rights community, prosecutors had the lead defense attorney, Lynn Stewart, arrested and charged with terrorism for making public statements about the case.

War Costing $720 Million Each Day
The occupation in Iraq is costing $720 million a day or $500,000 a minute. That figure is based on the work of Nobel Prize-winning economist Joseph E. Stiglitz and Harvard public finance lecturer Linda J. Bilmes published in the Milken Institute Review. They estimate the cost of the Iraq war to date at $2.2 Trillion and climbing.
The $720 million per day figure includes $280 million of expenses already funded by Congress, plus $440 million daily in incurred, but unpaid, long-term costs, such as the continued medical care of injured soldiers. The figure does not include “macro-economic consequences” described by Bilmes and Stiglitz, including higher oil prices, loss of trade because of anti-American sentiments and lost productivity of killed or injured U.S. soldiers.

Portland Residents Nervous about Nuclear Drill
A 9/11-style military exercise scheduled for August 20-24 has Portland residents on alert for false-flag attack. The joint military - Homeland Security exercise will simulate the effects of a 10 Kiloton nuclear device detonated near downtown Portland. While the military assures residents that this is a table-top simulation only, Oregonians are understandably nervous because of the possibility that the military drill may be used as a cover for false-flag operations.
And there is good reason to be nervous. There were over a dozen documented "Military Exercises" on the East Coast before and during the attacks of 9/11 in 2001. In London, on the day of the 7/7/2005 bombings, a state-linked private security firm was conducting a "table-top" exercise involving the very trains and stations attacked.
Citizen outcry may have contributed to the cancellation of a similar drill in 2005. Sudden Response 05, which was to simulate a 10 kiloton nuclear detonation in Charleston harbor, was canceled when the people of Charleston rang the alarm. Resistance within the military may have played a roll as well. Contemporaneous with the canceled exercise, a four-star General in command of the Army training in Charleston, Gen. Kevin P. Byrnes, was relieved of command for no believable reason.

CHENEY DETERMINED TO STRIKE IN US
ONLY IMPEACHMENT AND REMOVAL, OR A GENERAL STRIKE, CAN STOP HIM
"The greatest threat now is "a 9/11 occurring with a group of terrorists armed not with airline tickets and box cutters, but with a nuclear weapon in the middle of one of our own cities." -- Dick Cheney on Face the Nation, CBS, April 15, 2007
Dick Cheney sees a nuclear weapon, DHS Director Chertoff has a gut feeling, Z-Big Brzezinski has already warned us; the Cheney faction, the "new crazies", needs another false-flag attack to "bolster western resolve" for continuing and expanding the adventure in the Middle East.
Webster Tarpley, in this important and wide-ranging article, gives us all fair warning what the Cheney Faction have in store for America; False-flag attack, conflict in Iran, dollar hyperinflation, and catastrophic military defeat.

US Social Forum Adopts Impeachment, 9/11Truth Resolutions
The Social Forum in Atlanta, Georgia was attended by over 10,000 social activists and groups from all over the US and the Americas. Representing diverse causes they all had one thing in common, their desire to re-make the US into a better country; or in the words of this year's motto; "Another World is possible, Another US is necessary". To that end, two significant resolutions were passed at the concluding plenary session on Sunday July 1, 2007, calling for the impeachment of Bush and Cheney, and calling for the investigation of the events of 9/11/2001.
Read the US Social Forum Resolution calling for the impeachment, conviction and removal from office of President George W. Bush and Vice President Richard Cheney.

Your generous donation will help assure that this new experiment in alternative publishing is a success. Thank you.
A Newspaper is Born
Rock Creek Free Press is a new and fiercely independent newspaper in Washington, DC. The editor, Matthew Sullivan, boasts of having no knowledge whatever of the newspaper business. "I am blessed with an absolute unbounded ignorance of what it takes to publish a newspaper", he says, "and I consider that my greatest asset. People say I must be crazy to publish a new newspaper given that all the existing papers are in decline and losing readers every day. They may be right, but I think the reason newspapers are in decline is because the readers know they are being lied to. We're being taken for suckers and we don't like it. I think there is great potential for a newspaper that is not afraid to print the truth." concluded Mr. Sullivan.
In spite of the rocky market for newspapers Rock Creek Free Press plans to launch this winter. The inaugural issue will be timed to coincide with a planned peace march on Washington on January 27, 2007.
