The Neocons’ Ties to the 9/11 Commission’s Report

Filed under: Books, Law — Tags: , , , , — haecus @ 17 17

There was little chance that the 9/11 Commission was going to establish the full truth. One reason why: Its Executive Director, the Neocon-loving Philip D. Zelikow, had his own agenda, to wit: protecting the interest of the Bush-Cheney Gang and linking “Al-Qaeda to Iraq.” Zelikow had previously written a book with Condi Rice, authored a paper used to justify the preemptive attack on Iraq and worked on Bush’s presidential transition team in 2000/2001. Why? Because, he had co-authored a book with Rice, worked on President Bush’s transition team in 2000/2001, and wrote a Neocon-like policy paper, which was used to justify the horrific Iraq War. Zelikow should have had the words “Conflict of Interest” branded on his Neocon-loving forehead! Zelikow denied that he had any conflict of interest in accepting his czar-like role. This was so even after it was disclosed, that as the Executive Director, he made and received numerous telephone conversations from Karl Rove, “Bush’s Brain,” and that he had several visits with Rice, in the White House. The author explained: “Clarke understood that with Zelikow–Zelikow of all people–in charge, there there was ‘no hope’ that the commission would carry out an “impartial” investigation of the Bush’s administration’s bungling of terrorist threats in the months before September 11.

The Adventures Of Dr Nayland Smith And His Attempts To Capture His Elusive Arch-Enemy, The Villainous Dr Fu Manchu

Filed under: Books, Entertainment — Tags: , , , , , — haecus @ 05 39

A killer kitty with poison-tipped claws, giant noxious mushrooms and aphonia-inducing flowers are just some of the challenges faced by Sir Denis Nayland Smith and Dr Petrie in their battles against arch-villain Fu Manchu. Adapted from the ‘yellow peril’ stories by Sax Rohmer, The Mystery of Dr Fu Manchu and its follow-up series, The Further Mysteries of Dr Fu Manchu, ran for a total of 23 episodes and charted the Chinese crime lord’s attempts to overthrow Western civilisation through a mixture of cold-blooded murder, Eastern mysticism and outlandish science.
