prevent Basra gassing

Is Basra about to be gassed-the finale to Rumsfeld's great plan

21st March,
Dear John, .We haven't met yet. I have been on maternity
leave for 12 months which has enabled me to research the world events at
great depth on the internet, quite a priviledge with our busy schedules.I first started looking when 911 happened. After Bali I realised that our Prime minister was lying ,why he was, was difficult to understand.It is becoming clearer,alas to late. I have a
collection of statements ,documents,speeches andother commentaries form well
respected journalists and academics, politicians experts etc.Our medical training is certainly an advantage in research, keeping an eye on evidence level, source of document
psychological reason for political actions etc.My 3unit history at hsc has
helped with document interpretation and background knowledge esp the
propaganda of Goebbels. I have a lot of questions for Howard and feel very
angry with his continuing use of lies and emotional propaganda. I feel
particularly sad that the Australian and American people have a great capacity for
compassion and this has been used to manipulate us.This has caused people who would vehemently oppose war to waver or agree to war -if it is short -to "liberate" the Iraqis.

It is the propaganda machine that is so frightening.This has truly been well planned
and may well be pulled off. The opposition to war is leaderless ,un-united
from divided political persuasion and without publicity management, nor easy access to media.They are vilified, trivialised and sanity/sense/knowledge called into question when they challeng the war machine in the media,
particularly in media controlled by Murdoch( look up Lachlan Murdoch's speech at the Andre Ollie dinner last year).Polls are often used to validate positions and the supposed increase to 50% support(PRETTY POOR ANYWAY FOR A WAR) is touted as Howard's policies being accepted, yet I challenge that even the poll figure is true and we all know how easy it is to manipulate figures just by population selection. Interesting figures this week suggest the support is smaller. In Newcastle Friday (Murdoch) 2nxfm ran a poll where
over 60% were against the war, the announcer was so surprised and could only
say some supportive comment about the other 30%.The Sydney Morning Herald ran an online poll this week and over 60% were against the war.The state elections gave the
clearest answer, with swing to the Greens. Which poll is most reported? .In the US the poll report even higher support but there the propaganda has also managed to confuse the public about Bin Ladin and Saddam being allied-up to 50% believe this lie, they were actually enemies. .
This war is not simple. Looking more like Vietnam. There are interest groups willing to
destroy lives to gain their dreams, and our nightmare. There is evidence to suggest that the point we are at now ,right now, has been anticipated. That there has been careful planning for 10 yrs since GW1. READ THE ARTICLE BY ALAN RAMSAY IN SATURDAY"S SMH PAGE 59. You may start to
understand the "why" of what is happening, and the different approach that
will be needed to prevent us becoming the Italy of 1939. Imagine if the Nazis
had won the war .The huge Irony here is the blue print for these events was written by a
Jewish person-a fervent zionist-who also is reported as also having his name
on the foreign /defence policy paper of Israel and is adviser to the US
defence dpt- Perle. My research strongly supports this article by Alan Ramsay and there is some logic to the suggestion that the Sydney Institute is the equivalent of the American Institute , in enabling the local events to unfold and providing a focal point for promoting the war and the next war-he read �1984�

FUCK THE WAR & ITS SUPPORTERS

"US set to deploy 120,000 more troops" - The Age, March 28 2003

"The United States has poured 90,000 troops into Iraq and readied another 120,000 for deployment from US and European bases, Pentagon officials said today, amid mounting criticism that its invasion force is inadequate to take Baghdad."

Everything is going exactly according to plan, ..except the war.
