Mills as Milo Minderbender

In Heller's Catch 22 , Milo Minderbender is the entrepreneur of the company who swaps the airmen's parachutes for share certificates and then sells them on to whoever will have them, "for the good of the country". Milo goes about setting up M&M enterprises who's defining moment comes when they bomb there own Airfield in order to save planes and time and to get rid of some much hated cotton which he has accumulated.

Mulling over the assonance of Catch 22 for the fate of tortured prisoners at Guantanamo Bay (see below) I was struck by the role of David Mill's the unwiped, bemerded arsehole who is married to the lying fuckwit privy Counsellor, Tessa "Amnesia Freelove" Jowell who is responsible for the money pit on the Thames which will (allegedly) house the 2013 Olympics.

Leaving his home in his glossy but well frosted Beamer yesterday he removed his wing mirror on a reporters open car door.

"Who will pay for that ?" shouted the irate and deeply unpleasant lawyer - evidently used to others picking up the tab for his stupidity.

"Berlusconi?" said a quick witted reporter.

That's him. Mills Milo Minderbender. What a cunt.

Catch 22

The Washington Post today reports that Bush administration lawyers, say detainees at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, cannot use legislation drafted by Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) to challenge treatment that the detainee's lawyers described as "systematic torture.They have successfully argued that the new law that bans cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment of detainees in U.S. custody does not apply to people held at the military prison.


In court filings, the Justice Department lawyers argued that language in the law written by Sens. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.) and Carl M. Levin (D-Mich.) gives Guantanamo Bay detainees access to the courts only to appeal their enemy combatant status determinations and convictions by military commissions.

"Unfortunately, I think the government's right; it's a correct reading of the law," said Tom Malinowski, Washington advocacy director for Human Rights Watch. "The law says you can't torture detainees at Guantanamo, but it also says you can't enforce that law in the courts."

Thomas Wilner, a lawyer representing several detainees at Guantanamo, agreed that the law cannot be enforced. "This is what Guantanamo was about to begin with, a place to keep detainees out of the U.S. precisely so they can say they can't go to court," Wilner said.

Yossarian would be laughing.

Zionists Plot

Vice President Deadeye Dick won't be shooting any Quail (or lawyers) this weekend , he's going to be at the Washington DC Convention centre for the AIPAC Annual Conference ( Policy Review) which he will be addressing on Tuesday along with Benjamin Netanyahu as well as Steny Hoyer(D - Md) and Ron Blunt (R.- Mo.) about the US-Israel Special relationship.

"At a time of unprecedented challenge and opportunity for America's ally in the Middle East, the deep and abiding support for Israel in all quarters of American society is truly exemplified by this year's conference," said AIPAC President Bernice Manocherian. "Support for Israel is not a Democratic value or a Republican value, it is an American value," she said.

They kick off proceedings on Sunday (after the Israeli national anthem (which they didn't sing last year because of the impending charges against AIPAC spies being caught - who are now in trial) "Global Challenge: How the International Community Can Stop Iran"

For those interested Judge T.S. Ellis ruled Monday in the case against former American Israel Public Affairs Committee employees Steve Rosen and Keith Weissman, against the request of the Institute for Research: Middle Eastern Policy. That group wanted to file a brief arguing that AIPAC operates as a quasi-intelligence organization that infiltrates Congress and the White House. .... don't expect any public discussion of the case at the Conference.

New York Zionists close down "My name is Rachel Corrie"

You can read about the murder of Rachel Corrie by the Israeli state here .The Play “My Name Is Rachel Corrie”, Directed In London By Actor Alan Rickman and Due To Open In New York City In March, Has Been Cancelled For Fear Of Controversy The Theatre Workshop Cited The Election Of Hamas In Palestine, Ariel Sharon’s Medical Condition And The Furor Over The Danish Cartoons As Reasons For Refusing To Stage The Play. More here

"My Name is Rachel Corrie" was written by Rickman and an editor of The Guardian newspaper of London, Katharine Viner.

The play is based on diary entries and e-mails by Corrie, a political activist from Olympia (Nr Seattle) who died in 2003 in a refugee camp near the Egyptian border while protesting Israel's demolition of Palestinian homes there.

Alan Rickman told The Guradian that the New York Theatre Workshop's decision was an act of "censorship born out of fear." New York Theatre Workshop director Jim Nicola said the play, which his company had not formerly announced it would present, is being postponed due to the current "very edgy" political situation in Israel.

"Daughter Courage," a different play about Corrie by the Vermont troupe Bread and Puppet Theater, will play at Seattle's Consolidated Works arts center March 8-11.

Worthless traitor bitch.

The(y) couldn't find an actress flat-chested enough for the part.

Murdered? I call that a Darwin award nominee.

I, on the other, think that Rachel Corrie got what she deserved. She was protecting a smuggling tunnel for terrorist's arms. I WISH the bulldozer had run over her deliberately, but these days the good guys are too squeamis to do what must be done.

And how far did that bulldozer have to chase her before finally running her down?

She wasn't murdered, she committed suicide and the world is a btter place for it. She was the epitome of evil as she taught children to hate.

Can I go and cheer for the bulldozer?

She was so freaking dumb that her mind which had been rotted by drugs and Evergreen University campus ideology could not comprehend that she would be in danger standing hidden infront of a 30 ton machine.

Evidently the still, quiet voice of reason at work there then. You can of course turn to the AIPAC site and read of the passage of the Foreign Aid Bill 4th Jan 2005

Both the House of Representatives and Senate have overwhelmingly approved the fiscal year 2006 foreign aid bill, which includes $2.52 billion in economic and military assistance to Israel. By votes of 358-39 and 91-0, respectively, both chambers demonstrated the United States' unshak(e)able commitment to Israel's security by approving this critical assistance.

Carbon Fibre - World Production controlled by Japanese companies

Global demand for poly acryloniytrile (PAN) carbon fiber is estimated at 25,000 tons. Demand will grow to 40,000 tons by 2010. It's characteristics of lightness and strength will determine the succes of the new generation of passenger airliners the Boeing 787 and the Airbus 380.

Three Japanese companies, Toray Industries Inc., Toho Tenax Co. and Mitsubishi Rayon Co. together control about 70 percent of the global market for carbon fibre.Current uptake is in the region of 26,000 tons and will grow to 40,000 tons by 2010.The fibre is increasingly in use in the blades of wind driven electricity turbines.

Industry leader Toray, with 30% of world production, is the principal supplier of Torayca* fibre for Boeing Co.'s B787 Dreamliner passenger aircraft which will require about 30 tons of carbon fibre per aircraft (the Boeing 777 uses Toray fibre).The company opened the worlds biggest facility in Decatur, Alabama in 1999 which recently introduced a new line to double capacity to 1,800 tons per year.

By volume, carbon fiber composite materials account for about 50 percent of the B787,
including the fuselage and main wings. Toray is adding new production lines on its 860,000-square-meter factory in Masaki, Ehime Prefecture to meet this demand.

In total the company is investing about 25 billion yen on three production lines, two for carbon fiber and the other for sheet products to increase capacity to 13,000 tons per annum from current 9,000 tons.


Toho Tenax, (part of the Teijin Group) the next biggest supplier is running its factory in Nagaizumi, Shizuoka Prefecture, at full capacity to produce carbon fiber mainly for Airbus SAS's A380 super-jumbo jet, which is scheduled to start commercial flights this year.

The company is expanding its factories in the United States(Rockwood TN) and Germany to raise its annual group production capacity to 7,800 tons in September, up from the current 5,600 tons.

Mitsubishi Rayon the third major world supplier is also spending 8 Billion Yen to add
capacity at its factory in Toyohashi, Aichi Prefecture, and its plants in the United States (Grafil Inc. Sacramento CA) and France and wants to boost production to 8,000 tons up from 5,000 tons.

The Italian Job

The Rt. Hon. Tessa Jowell ( that means she was made a Privy Councillor (in 1998)) and David Mills married in 1979 and bought their house in Kentish Town, N. London, .... cash.

On Sept 27, 2000, the couple took out a mortgage on the property with S G Hambros Bank and Trust Ltd.

They paid off this mortgage of £408,000 on December 1, 2000.(9 weeks later). It would be entirely improper to suggest that, though this is a method used to launder funds, that this was the reason for this short term loan secured on the couple's house.

The Home Office in a statement it said: "In late 2004, the Serious Fraud Office received a request from the Milan Prosecutor for legal advice about the circumstances in which David Mills could be extradited under UK law, based upon possible charges against him."

"The request was passed to the Crown Prosecution Service, who took legal advice which was passed by the Home Office to the Italian Embassy in May 2005, since extradition requests are normally handled on diplomatic channels.

Blair makes masonic signal to Berlusconi.

Charles Clarke, the Home Secretary, is quoted in the Times Online saying: "The allegations of the Italian prosecution are completely untrue.

"The fact is that there is a well established extradition procedure which operates with Italy as with other countries and we would follow all normal procedures.

"No request for extradition has come from Italy at this stage and hasn’t done at any previous stage - but the fact is that the allegations that we’ve been in any sense un-co-operative are completely false."

Dame Barbara Mills, DBE, QC is The Adjudicator for the Inland Revenue and Customs and Excise, having been from 1992 to 1998, the Director of Public Prosecutions. As Director of the Serious Fraud Office Dame Barbara dealt with the BCCI case. In 1986 she was a DTI inspector under the Financial Services Act and has been a member of the Criminal Injuries Compensation Board, a Legal Assessor to the General Medical Council and a member of the Parole Board amongst others. She is David Mills's sister in law.

It would be outrageous and improper, a scandalum magnatum, to suggest that such family ties would in any way affect the conduct of inter governmental affairs.

Bush in India: Just Not Welcome

Arundhati Roy, Resident of Delhi ... novelist (Booker Prize winner) writing in The Nation today ...

It is not in our power to stop Bush's visit. It is in our power to protest it, and we will. The government, the police and the corporate press will do everything they can to minimize the extent of our outrage. Nothing the happy newspapers say can change the fact that all over India, from the biggest cities to the smallest villages, in public places and private homes, George W. Bush, the President of the United States of America, world nightmare incarnate, is just not welcome.

On May 31, 2003 Roy spoke at a national antiwar teach-in in Washington, D.C., sponsored by United for Peace and Justice. Counterpunch printed her speech.

When the United States invaded Iraq, a New York Times/CBS News survey estimated that 42 percent of the American public believed that Saddam Hussein was directly responsible for the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. And an ABC news poll said that 55 percent of Americans believed that Saddam Hussein directly supported al-Qaeda. None of this opinion is based on evidence (because there isn't any). All of it is based on insinuation, auto-suggestion and outright lies circulated by the U.S. corporate media. Public support in the U.S. for the war against Iraq was founded on a multi-tiered edifice of falsehood and deceit, coordinated by the U.S. government and faithfully amplified by the press. etc etc .,

One of the most potent, fluent voices against the illegal invasion of Iraq, before, during and since ....

U.S. Troops in Iraq: 100% are dumbfucks according to Zogby poll.

U.S. Troops in Iraq: 72% Say End War in 2006

Le Moyne College/Zogby Poll shows just one in five troops want to heed Bush call to stay “as long as they are needed”
* While 58% say mission is clear, 42% say U.S. role is hazy
* Plurality believes Iraqi insurgents are mostly homegrown
* Almost 90% think war is retaliation for Saddam’s role in 9/11, most don’t blame Iraqi public for insurgent attacks
* Majority of troops oppose use of harsh prisoner interrogation
* Plurality of troops pleased with their armor and equipment

An overwhelming majority of 72% of American troops serving in Iraq think the U.S. should exit the country within the next year, and nearly one in four say the troops should leave immediately, a new Le Moyne College/Zogby International survey shows.

New Documents Provide Further Evidence That Senior Officials Approved Abuse of Prisoners at Guantánamo (2/23/2006)

The American Civil Liberties Union have done a terrific job in obtaining a batch of documents under the Freedom of Information Act which have received scant attention in the mainstream press. You can view copies here ... although many have "redactions" - that's fucking lawyer talk for covering up / concealing.

....Still other documents released today by the ACLU provide FBI agents’ descriptions of interrogations they witnessed at Guantánamo. One such document states: “Last evening I went to observe an interview of REDACTED with REDACTED. The adjoining room, observable from the monitoring booth, was occupied by 2 DHS investigators showing a detainee homosexual porn movies and using a strobe light in the room. We moved our interview to a different room. We’ve heard that DHS interrogators routinely identify themselves as FBI agents and then interrogate a detainee for 16-18 hours using tactics as described above and others (wrapping in Israeli flag, constant loud music, cranking the A/C down, etc.) The next time a real Agent tries to talk to that guy, you can imagine the result.”

Wrapping them in an Israeli flag ? Why, that's done by many of these evil fucking bastards in the US Administration every day of the week

The Long, Long War on Terror

Feb. 27, 2006, 2:46PM Substance found at UT is not ricin

Rummy's "long war" on terror took on a radically new meaning this weekend.

A powdery substance found in a roll of quarters by a University of Texas student on Thursday while doing laundry in her dormitory is not the deadly toxin ricin, FBI officials said Sunday.

FBI agents took custody of the sample Saturday and sent it to the Interagency Biomedical Research Confederation Fort Detrick, Md., Within a day, scientists at the Army base determined it was not ricin or any other dangerous material.

So if ricin was a problem (which it isn't as it is only lethal if enjected in a very pure form) the field testing procedures are crap and it would take three days to find out if it was ricin ... curiously Fort Detrick have declined to say what the powder was .... Colombian marching powder anybody ?

Google News has 773 hits for this story .... Ricin ... deadly ... lethal ... we are all going to die !!!!

Flight 77 - where did the passengers die ?

It is generally accepted that American Airlines Flight 77 did not fly into the Pentagon on 11th September 2001. Details of the passengers who have been identified by DNA can be found here.

Leslie a. Whittington, 45, of University Park, Md., was a professor at Georgetown University in Washington.

Whittington, her husband, Charles S. Falkenberg, and two daughters were leaving for a trip to Australia when American Flight 77 is supposed to have crashed into the Pentagon. They mailed postcards to family members from Dulles International Airport. Those postcards arrived, but no details are available on the web.

George and Ruth Koch are the parents of Ruth their 45-year-old daughter....During an interview with their local paper in 2004, Koch delicately handled eerie mementos of the crash found during cleanup: Whittington's battered driver's license. One granddaughters' luggage tag.


...... a burnt luggage tag and a wedding ring lie on a book dedicated to those lost in the events of Sept. 11, 2001. The wedding ring belonged to Ruth's daughter and the luggage tag belonged to one her granddaughters.... says the caption to the photo in the paper.

The Kochs plan to send the items to the Smithsonian Institution in Washington for inclusion in a 9/11 display.

No traces of massive titanium jet engines, and a huge jetliner survived, but a lightly toasted luggage tag and a child's ring survived.

Now if this family did not die in the Pentagon ... where did they die?

Texas Ricin story IS bollocks

The Austin Statesman reports a mysterious whitish-brown powder found in a roll of quarters in a dormitory room on the University of Texas campus might not be the poison ricin after all.

A preliminary test by the Texas Department of State Health Services laboratory in Austin returned a positive result for the potentially fatal substance, prompting an evacuation of the Moore-Hill residence hall, an investigation by the FBI and worries of a link to terrorism.

Students were allowed to return to the Moore-Hill residence hall after two cleanings of affected areas, but the UT dorm was abuzz with activity Saturday as the investigation continued. UT police officer Adrian Slaymaker stands watch.

But three subsequent tests at the same lab came up negative.

In addition, none of the people who might have been exposed — including the student with the quarters, her mother, her roommate and their residence hall assistant — has symptoms of ricin poisoning. The symptoms, which typically include breathing difficulty, cough, fever, nausea and tightess in the chest, usually develop within hours of exposure, health officials said.

"I'm pretty confident it's not ricin," Mike Elliott, senior district commander for Austin-Travis County Emergency Medical Services, said Saturday. "The state lab tends to be more presumptive in telling you what it might be."

Difficult to believe stories from Texas, VP shoots a 6"2" lawyer mistaking him for 6 ounce quail ...

The FBI called in specialists in weapons of mass destruction from Quantico, Va.,
also called in were ... the Joint Terrorism Task Force .... on Saturday, local hazardous materials crews took apart washing machines at the dorm to see if they could find any additional powder....

You can begin to understand how difficult it was investigating 9/11.... good job they shipped all the evidence to a chinese scrapyard ... save all that stupid forensic nonsense.

Sheryl Crow Has Surgery for Breast Cancer

Sheryl Crow one of the finest singer / songwriters performing today, underwent surgery for breast cancer earlier this week and the good news is the prognosis for a full recovery is excellent.

In a statement on her Web site, Crow said she would have to postpone a North American concert tour that was scheduled to begin in March. She said she hoped to reschedule the dates as soon as possible.

Crow called the surgery "minimally invasive" and said she will be undergoing radiation treatment as a precaution. She said she benefited from early detection, and urged other women to have themselves checked.

Crow, 43, and Armstrong, 34, announced earlier this month they were splitting up. It would have been the Grammy-winning rock star's first marriage and the second for Armstrong, a seven-time Tour de France cycling champion. Crow said her most recent album, the Grammy-nominated "Wildflower," was inspired by their relationship.

She grew up in Kennett, Mo., and sang in the local choir.She worked as a music teacher and backup singer, including some time with Michael Jackson, she broke as a solo act with the 1993 multi-platinum recording "Tuesday Night Music Club." She also appeared with the Stones on their "40 Licks tour" and album.

7/7 "Suicide Bombers" ... an Official Secret to be exposed

A Revolutionary Act re-visits the London bombings on 7/7. Charles Clarke, an overweight Cambridge mathematician who doubles as Home Secretary, and has all the personality of a "I speak your weight machine" says we are to be treated to a Civil Servant written "Timeline" of events on that fateful day last year.

My interest started immediately, on 14th July I proposed the theory that the "suicide bombers" were in fact duped bomb couriers.


Nothing has changed that view ... everyone should review everything that has been written ready to rubbish the concoction of lies, untruths, fictions and general bullshit any such "official" explanation will contain. It is essential that a well informed public take the publication of this "Timeline" immediately.

Get ready NOW. By the way if you know where Nadeem Fiez is, let me know. It would be interesting to ask him about the time he spent with PC Plod for 48 hours in Paddington Green Police Station. Pic ... the "Trial run" note the date.
