Some brief topics...

1. Ukraine

Ukraine's Transport Minister Heorhiy Kyrpa found dead, rumored "suicide". Kyrpa is said to have been one of the most influential figures in the government, and a staunch supporter of Yanukovich. What may be interesting about this, apart from the fact that his acquantances are rejecting the suicide claims, is that the Transport Ministry has an important role in planning and running Uraine's oil and gas pipeline systems.

2. New "OBL" tape

In the latest alleged tape from OBL, he has declared that "al Qaeda" has fully allied itself with al Zarqawi in Iraq. This latest "terrorist" propaganda demonstrates two things. First, the total repudiation of the fallacious position taken by those who separate the issues of Iraq and the "War on Terror", thinking they can protest the former without fundamentally questioning the latter. Second, those who limit their skepticism of 9/11 to a "let it happen" scenario which accepts the official story concerning the supposed identity and nature of OBL and his "al Qaeda" are now in the position of indirectly — yet substantively — supporting official propaganda for the Iraq occupation. It's time to turn up the heat big time on those who still think that they can avoid dealing front and center with the case for 9/11 INSIDE JOB, based on these points.

3. Which apocalypse do you believe in?

Über-phony Bill Moyers has trotted out the elite's designated antithesis to the thesis of a frightening and threatening religious right. Eco-catastrophism is his rallying cry for the "blue states". Conveniently for the powers that be, both sides of this DIALECTICAL divide, not just one, are fervent believers in an imminent apocalypse, and the need to rapidly impose a New Order on all humanity. I've spent a large amount of time over the past couple years tracing these two strands of militant eschatology to the same sources in the psy-ops of the imperial elite. I've seen this setup coming for some time, and "peak oil" clearly plays into the scenario as well. I have a lot of work yet to do in presenting my resesarch... for now, here is Moyers' screed:

Battlefield Earth
The environment is in trouble and the religious right doesn't care. It's time to act as if the future depends on us – because it does. By Bill Moyers

Some of the real scoop on Moyers can be found in a piece by Alex Constantiine and Bob Feldman, 'Media "Liberals" for Fascism' (Part 1 / Part 2).
