Rumsfeld Says US Ready To Take On Multiple Wars


"....the United States chose to arm and finance the [Islamic] mujahedin in Afghanistan instead of supporting and encouraging the moderate wing of the government of Afghanistan. That is what led to the Taliban in Afghanistan. But the most catastrophic action of the United States was to sabotage the decision that was painstakingly stitched together by the United Nations regarding the withdrawal of the Soviet Union from Afghanistan. If you look at those matters, you will come to the conclusion that the attitude of the United States of America is a threat to world peace. Because what [America] is saying is that if you are afraid of a veto in the Security Council, you can go outside and take action and violate the sovereignty of other countries. That is the message they are sending to the world. That must be condemned in the strongest terms. And you will notice that France, Germany Russia, China are against this decision. It is clearly a decision that is motivated by George W. Bush's desire to please the arms and oil industries in the United States of America."
Nelson Mandela: The United States of America is a Threat to World Peace

"It’s up to us to bring forth a new reality, a new paradigm where we live in balance with nature, in peace and in perfect harmony, where we can truly enjoy the experience of living life as we choose. The time is now! The evil consciousness that is responsible for our state of affairs must go! .... The fight between good and evil is finally out in the open, it’s happening now and nobody can be caught sleeping, NOBODY! Keep in mind that to end the sabotage of humanity’s true sense of being and to bring forth a new reality we must think it, speak it and bring it forth through ACTION! We are on the offensive now."

UK MoD selects Carlyle Group as preferred bidder for Qinetiq stake
Ananova, 3 September 2002

"Many have commented, for example, on the rise in the financial fortunes since Sept 11 of the Carlyle Group, a multi-billion dollar private equity firm with substantial defence sector investments, and for whom the President's father has acted as a roving global 'ambassador'. He has been supported in this role by a variety of others from ealier Bush/Reagan administrations including former Defence Secretary and Deputy Director of the CIA Frank Carlucci, and former Secretary of State James Baker. Carlucci is Chairman and Chief Executive of Carlyle. He is also chairman of the advisory board of the influential Rand Centre for Middle East Public Policy whose research it claims reaches 'the highest levels of government'....Post Sept 11 and the huge inflation in the Pentagon budget that has stemmed from it, Carlyle earned a cool $237 million on a single day selling shares in United Defense Industries alone, the Army's fifth-largest contractor, whilst at the same time still retaining its majority control. ..... Since Sept 11 United Defense has been the beneficiary of large increases in US defence spending, with full funding for the company's controversial 'Crusader' artillery system being passed by the House and Senate just one day before the company went public."

"Among the companies Carlyle owns are those which make equipment, vehicles and munitions for the US military... Bush [Snr] gives speeches for the company and is paid with stakes in the firm's investments, believed to be worth at least $80,000 per appearance..... When Carlucci arrived there in 1989, he brought with him a phalanx of former subordinates from the CIA and the Pentagon, and an awareness of the scale of business a company like Carlyle could do in the corridors and steak-houses of Washington."

"In life, you know, one must not confuse friends with sycophants... It's better to have only a few friends than to have a lot of sycophants. And I'm telling you that France considers itself one of the friends of the Americans, not necessarily one of its sycophants. It's not Schröder and I on one side, and Bush and Blair on the other; it's Bush and Blair on one side and all the others on the other side"

London Guardian, 10 September 2002

"It is completely possible for the USA to take revenge against terrorists and continue to crush terrorism, month after month, and year after year, but the net result will be a chain of destruction from both sides. We would never like to compare President Bush with Hitler, but if the World War starts from this, what else could be the interpretation? .... In the beginning, when Hitler started his war, all of Germany was with him..... If the government and people of the USA think they can destroy terrorism by starting to destroy terrorists, they should understand that any step in the direction of destruction will have destructive repercussions and will only help to create waves of destruction in time. This is a universal Law of Nature—action and reaction—'As you sow, so shall you reap.' It is a matter of truthfully facing the facts. The President of the US and the people of all the NATO alliance countries should understand that any war, anywhere, by anyone, will make the reality of war perpetual, as it has been throughout the ages. Wisdom in this scientific age demands eliminating the cause of all wars. We are making these logical inferences because we have a solution."

MOD Selects The Carlyle Group as Preferred Bidder for QinetiQ partnering arrangement


The Ministry of Defence has chosen The Carlyle Group as preferred bidder in its selection of a strategic partner to invest in QinetiQ plc, the MOD-owned scientific research organisation.

The intention to seek a strategic partner to help develop and grow the company was announced earlier this year. Around 40 organisations expressed an interest in acquiring a stake in the company, and their responses were assessed in a vigorously competitive process by the MOD together with its specialist legal and financial advisers.

MOD will initially retain a significant financial interest in the company as a means of ensuring that the taxpayer shares in any early growth in QinetiQ’s value. It will also keep a special share to protect the UK's wider defence interests over the longer-term.

QinetiQ plc, the new company formed from the former Defence Evaluation and Research Agency, is one of Europe's largest scientific research organisations.

Defence Minister Dr Lewis Moonie said: "This marks an important milestone in establishing a Public Private Partnership for QinetiQ, and we remain on track to complete the sale of a stake in the company by the end of this year."

"The Ministry of Defence and Carlyle will now hold exclusive negotiations for a fixed period to agree terms for the sale of an equity stake, finalise plans for the growth of the business over the next few years, and agree a joint approach for QinetiQ’s eventual sale."

Subject to the successful progress of these talks, Ministers expect to be in a position to outline the detail of the transaction to Parliament in the autumn.

NEWSWEEK has learned that one of the bureau’s informants had a close relationship with two of the hijackers: he was their roommate".

"Seeking to build a case Saturday that Iraqi President Saddam Hussein was developing weapons of mass destruction, President Bush cited a satellite photograph and a report by the U.N. atomic energy agency as evidence of Iraq’s impending rearmament. But in response to a report by NBC News, a senior administration official acknowledged Saturday night that the U.N. report drew no such conclusion, and a spokesman for the U.N. agency said the photograph had been misinterpreted."

"To get a clearer insight into how the taxpayer-funded defence gravy train interfaces with the private sector it is instructive to take a closer look at Vice President Dick Cheney's own twin track career with defence contractors and government.

"Others who have worked as advisers to Carlyle include former White House budget chief Dick Darman; head of the Federal Communications Commission William Kennard; head of the Securities and Exchange Commission Arthur Levitt; treasurer and chief investment officer of the World Bank and husband of Bush biographer Afsaneh Beschloss; former British prime minister John Major (who has his own separate arms trade corruption cover-up allegations to deal with as reported by the BBC 28 April 2002); former chairman of China's Securities Regulatory Commission, Liu Hong-Ru; former head of Indonesia's Central Bank, Arifin Siregar; former Philippines president Fidel Ramos; former Thai Prime Minister Anand Panyarachun; and Thailand's current Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra (who resigned from the fund before taking office just over a year ago)...."

"Correspondence between Rumsfeld and Carlucci recently unearthed by the 'public interest' law firm Judicial Watch reveals the key role that the Carlyle chief is developing in advising the US government on defence spending. A letter on Carlyle stationary from Carlucci dated 15 February reveals that he and former Clinton Defense Secretary William Perry (himself now a board member of government defence and intelligence contractor Anteon) had lunch with Rumsfeld earlier this year to discuss 'the need for reductions in the infrastructure of the Department [of Defense] and how that might best be done.' That is not a reference to reducing the defence budget. Everyone knows that is going into orbit. Most probably it means placing a greater amount of Defense Department operations with private sector contractors. Rumsfeld replied to Carlucci's letter stating that 'There is no question but that we are going to have to tackle the infrastructure issue. What I may do is ask the two of you to come in and meet with some of the key staff folks who are working on those types of things here in the department. I will be back in touch with you.'...."

Bush And Blair Objectives Are Power, Not Christian Peace

"[One year since 911] The war against terror has not been conspicuously successful outside Afghanistan. Osama Bin Laden has not been found, and the world is waiting with a certain nervousness in case another big attack takes place..... It isn't so much that the world has changed as that President George W Bush's distinctive policies, of putting American interests resolutely first, have had a year to develop."

"I hoped against hope that Blair's strength to keep some distance from the US line would hold (Bush: last chance to avoid war, September 5). I live in the US rural Bible belt. It is a hard-right town run by logging interests, where locals think Bush has gone soft for waiting and not just 'bombing I-rak to hell'....By giving in to Bush, Blair is offering probably the biggest single election boost he could to the most sinister, corrupt and isolationist of regimes. For Bush this is domestic. It is about total rightwing control of the house, senate and politically appointed courts, with all the implications that has for us and the world. Why don't you get it, Mr Blair?"
Letter, The Guardian, 6 September 2002

"Contrary to their claims today, the fascist regimes in Europe from the 1920's to the 1940's had been widely supported by the majority of Christians, including the Nazi rule in Germany. Other examples were the Italian Fascism under Mussolini, the rule of Spanish Catholic dictator Franco (and a similar one in Portugal), the Clerofascist rule of Tiso in Slovakia, and the war-born Ustasha regime in Croatia, a part of Yugoslavia"

Creating World Peace

"What kind of peace do I mean? What kind of peace do we seek? Not a Pax Americana enforced on the world by American weapons of war. Not the peace of the grave or the security of the slave. I am talking about genuine peace, the kind of peace that makes life on earth worth living, the kind that enables men and nations to grow and to hope and to build a better life for their children - not merely peace for Americans but peace for all men and women - not merely peace in our time but peace for all time."
