Three US drone attacks on a single day have killed at least 18 people, injured several others in Pakistan's tribal district of North Waziristan. Pakistani security officials say the latest attack has killed four people, adding that 14 others had been killed in the other two US drone attacks in the same volatile tribal district. The last drone attack targeted a building in a village five kilometers northwest of Miranshah town. The United States claims its drone attacks target militants. However, hundreds of civilians have been killed in such imprecise attacks since 2007. The issue of civilian casualties has strained relations between Islamabad and Washington, as statistics show that the US missile strikes have killed more than 1,000 people, mostly civilians over the past two years. Islamabad has repeatedly condemned the strikes and considered them to be in clear violation of its sovereignty.

A dozen American soldiers have been charged with alleged killing of innocent Afghan civilians as a sport and collecting their fingers as trophies. At least twelve US soldiers were accused of forming a secret "kill team" that shot and blew up civilians at random. Five of the soldiers were charged with murdering three Afghan men in separate attacks in southern Kandahar province this year. The three Afghan victims were shot. Two were also hit with grenades in what has proved to be one of the most serious war-crime cases to emerge from the Afghan war. Seven other soldiers were accused of covering up the killings and assaulting another soldier who exposed the murders when he reported other abuses. At least one of the soldiers collected the fingers of the victims as souvenirs and that some of them posed for photographs with the bodies, the Army Times reported. Five soldiers -- Calvin Gibbs, Jeremy Morlock, Andrew Holmes, Michael Wagnon and Adam Winfield -- were also accused of murder and aggravated assault among other charges. All of the soldiers, who face the death penalty or life imprisonment if convicted, have denied the charges. Civilians have been the main victims of violence in Afghanistan, particularly in the country's troubled southern and eastern provinces.

The United States Court Of Appeals 9th circuit has legalized the CIA abduction, overseas detention, and torture of innocent American citizens. It has also ruled that innocent civilians tortured and detained, even after release, have no rights for recourse against the CIA or corporations involved because litigation would jeopardize state secrets and top secret classified information critical to National Security. The Associated Press reports that the Obama Administration has won a shocking victory in federal appeals courts when the US federal appeals court ruled that innocent victims abducted and tortured by the CIA do not have a right to sue companies involved in facilitating the torture programs. The lawsuit involves litigation against Boeing for its involvement the US CIA torture program of innocent US citizens.

The leader of a tiny U.S. church said yesterday that he will defy international condemnation and go ahead with plans to burn copies of the Koran on the anniversary of September 11. The Rev Terry Jones has been advised by the senior U.S. leader in Afghanistan, General David Petaeus, that the stunt would put American soldiers lives at greater risk and provide propaganda for the Taliban. But Rev Jones, who claims to have received more than 100 death threats and has begun carrying a pistol for his own protection, today held a press conference to announce that he will not back down in the face of military, political or moral pressure. 'As you can imagine we have come under very much pressure in the direction of cancelling the event,' said the minister, whose church has fewer than 100. 'But as of this time we have no intention of cancelling.

The Truth Seeker: Koran Burning To Mark Another 9/11. Pastor Terry Jones defiance is a measure of how far America has fallen into ignorance and decline. He is an example of what Americans are fast becoming: backward, profoundly ignorant and easily manipulated by their Zionist owned media. As anyone who bothers to research the facts for themselves knows, Muslims were NOT behind 9/11. However, Pastor Terry Jones gets his information from the corporate media – the very people who repeated unfounded claims about Saddam’s Weapons of Mass Destruction. And even though his actions will put the lives of American soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan at risk, Pastor Terry Jones has vowed that he will burn copies of the Koran.

Empires don't usually decline so precipitously. Indeed, in less than a century the United States has come from being a rising beacon of hope to a declining world power, most of whose citizens have a backwater mentality. Little wonder then that Zionists despise modern Americans even as they exploit them. Not only has America been tricked into supporting Israel financially – despite its economic decline – it has also be duped into fighting Israel’s wars too. In fact Zionists must be relishing the prospect of the promised Koran burning.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. - The leader of a small Florida church that espouses anti-Islam philosophy said Wednesday he was determined to go through with his plan to burn copies of the Quran on Sept. 11, despite pressure from the White House, religious leaders and others to call it off. "We are still determined to it, yes," the Rev. Terry Jones told the CBS Early Show. Jones' plans drew criticism from Attorney General Eric Holder, who, according to a Justice Department official, called the bonfire idiotic and dangerous during a private with religious leaders Tuesday. Holder's words were echoed Wednesday by presidential adviser David Axelrod, who

told NBC's Today show that the pastor's plan is "wrong in so many dimensions," offends U.S. values and is a threat to U.S. security. Axelrod told CNN Wednesday morning: "The reverend may have the right to do what he's doing but it's not right. It's not consistent with our values ... I hope that his conscience and his good sense will take hold."

[What about burning copies of the Jewish holy book, the Torah? Would Mr. Axelrod, who btw. is Jewish, be so laid-back if someone were planning to do so? Somehow we rather doubt it...]

Seven Deadly Myths is an upcoming documentary by journalist Lia Tarachansky. It is an exploration of the myths and realities of the 1948 war and the birth of the Palestinian refugee problem. It features veterans of the war, as well as historians who fought to reveal the true history of the events that took place in 1947-1949 and led to the creation of the state of Israel.

A visit to the occupied territories of Palestine can change one's perspectives forever. Such was the case of Anna Baltzer. Baltzer is a Jewish-American granddaughter of Holocaust survivors. In 2005, she was awarded a Fulbright scholarship to teach English in Ankara, Turkey and volunteered with the International Women's Peace Service in the West Bank. There she was exposed to the Israeli occupation of Palestine. She documented human rights abuses for the IWPS, returned to Palestine and Israel over the years, and published her experiences in a book called "A Witness in Palestine: A Jewish American Woman in the Occupied Territories."

The recent killing of John T. Williams at the hands of a Seattle Police Department (SPD) officer, which first triggered serious questions and then serious outrage, is now triggering a movement. Hundreds of people attended a candlelight vigil for the Native American man on September 2, the crowd spilling out onto Second Avenue late into the night. Since then, the mood has shifted from somber to angry—and next week, on September 16, several groups are planning a protest. The details are still forthcoming, but the central message is clear: They want accountability from the police department and city hall—which has so far been lacking. In its entirety, SPD says that the incident with Williams—from the time Officer Ian Birk pulled over until he fired his gun—happened in under a minute.

The Military KNOWS Israeli AGENTS did 911

BAGHDAD - Two U.S. service members were killed and nine others were wounded when a Kurdish Iraqi soldier sprayed them with gunfire at an Iraqi army commando base north of Baghdad on Tuesday afternoon, Iraqi and U.S. military officials said. The two Americans, whose names were being withheld until relatives are notified, were the first U.S. troops to be killed in Iraq since the Obama administration declared combat operations there officially over last week. The incident underscored the dangers facing the nearly 50,000 U.S. troops still in the country. "This is a tragic and cowardly act, which I firmly believe was an isolated incident and is certainly not reflective of the Iraqi Security Forces in Salah-ad-Din [province]," Maj. Gen. Tony Cucolo, commander of U.S. forces in northern Iraq, said in a statement.

[Editor's Comment:] How can this be? -President Obama told us that he "would bring our combat brigades out of Iraq". Now, if had done exactly what he said he'd do (viz. to actually bring them out of Iraq), these two soldiers wouldn't have been killed, right? He also said about the troops remaining there that their "mission" "changes from [...] combat to assisting the Iraqi army"...Looks like Iraqi soldiers don't want any "assistance" either, does it?

Words & concepts seem to be important here, so let us take a look a some of them. -Killing approx. 1.2 million people, maiming & terrorizing an even larger number is being referred to as a 'mission'. The missionaries (of yore) wanted to eradicate people's impure thoughts and to convert the (damn) heathens to what our beacons of light considered to be the one true faith. Not so with the US army. (The US army evidently has a "mission", alright, and also has a "one, true faith" too, but wait a sec, we're coming to that) -The business of the US army was to eradicate not just thoughts, but people. (Hardly a 'mission' in our book.) With this grisly business in mind, the Pentagon and the DOD originally had coined the concept of (Operation) 'Infinite Justice'. Now there's a noble & lofty concept for you! However, the ungrateful Muslims "protested the name on the basis that their faith teaches that Allah is the only one that could provide "infinite justice"." (They may have had a point.) So Pentagon & the DOD changed Operation Infinite Justice to Operation Enduring Freedom. -How considerate of them! 'Enduring Freedom' -just as noble and almost as lofty as the previous one, but not quite. (The Light keeps sinking into matter, doesn't it?)

To sum it up, we've gone from 'Infinite Justice' to 'Enduring Freedom' to 'mission' to, well, 'assistance'. -A bit uninspiring and not quite the same, but with a "nice" ring to it nevertheless. In view of the future US "mission" in Iraq (of killing an infinite number of ungrateful Iraqis), may we suggest to Mr. Obama, the Nobel Peace Laureate, that he now coin the semi-lofty concept of 'Infinite Assistance'? In case the locals would protest the concept again, he could always change it to 'Enduring Assistance'...

Now, coming back to the "one true faith" of the US army, the faith it used to have: 'democracy'. (The laser guided variety: "If you're not being nice to us, we'll bring democracy to you".). Finally (after approx. 1.2 million dead Iraqis), the US army was becoming unhappy with the 'one true faith of democracy'. A lot of the US soldiers had lapsed, for one thing, plus the ungrateful locals oddly had failed to see how democratic it was to have their country occupied & looted, their men & wives murdered & raped etc. Something had to be done about the situation. So the neo-cons produced the neo-crusaders. Good old missionary Christian faith had come to the rescue (again)! Maybe now's the time for someone to suggest to the Peace Laureate that he change 'Enduring Freedom' to...to 'Enduring Mission'. -How. About. That? There are great benefits to this. -For one thing, the Heavenly Light would start generating some ground clearance and again rise to the rarefied spheres from where America once used to draw its inspiration, plus of course the soldiers...the 50,000 U.S. troops still occupying Iraq would know exactly why they're there, why they're terrorizing the locals. From now on they will do all this, and more, for Christ. They will rape & kill Iraqi women for Him. They will torture & kill their men for Him. This then will be their 'Enduring Mission'. And if they should get killed by some ungrateful Iraqi soldier, they would have died for "The Shining City Upon a Hill". (Oh, the glory of it all!) -Indeed, words do seem to be important!

The Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) has passed a statement in support of Iran's nuclear program, Tehran's envoy to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) says. IAEA Director General Yukiya Amano on Monday released its latest report on Iran's nuclear work, in which he once gain confirmed that the IAEA continued to "verify the non-diversion of declared nuclear material in Iran." The report, however, urged Iran to "cooperate in clarifying outstanding issues."

Assange told Sweden's TV4 that he had never blamed the CIA for the "smears". He said:

"I don't describe other people's private lives. I don't describe my own private life, because it's private. That is the correct discretion for all people to have and is certainly the correct discretion for a man to have. However I've never done anything unconsensual in my private life...in Sweden or anywhere else."

He said the claims might just have been personal vendettas and his words had been taken out of context, and that people said he had said the CIA was behind it, which was not true. He said:

"I didn't say anyone was behind it. I said very clearly what we knew, which was that on the 11th we received a warning and that this was a smear because it was not true. When people make false accusations that is a smear. That does not mean that intelligence agencies are behind it. Nor does it mean that they're not behind it. Nor does it mean that once this has happened for other reasons that they're not capitalising on it."
