Look, CNN and FOXNEWS Forbid Americans to Know

Johnny America | 23-11-2007 17:32 | Iraq | Terror War | Sheffield

Look, CNN and FOXNEWS forbid Americans to know, families are
threatened with arrest for not agreeing to cause neurological
damage to their children. Will YOU make same demands by refusing
US to discuss these matters openly?, or will you side to remain
silent while my America dies undefended?

Webster Tarpley's folly: The Kennebunkport Hoax

He used to be respected in 911 Truth, but now he's been sacked:

http://truthaction.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2501

We don't need leaders who spread hoaxes...and we really don't need them lecturing us about Guy Fawkes and 9/11 as Tarpley will start doing in a couple of days...

Where are Mr & Mrs Rajavi?

DS Thuja | 30-10-2007 12:05 | Terror War | Sheffield

Mr & Mrs Rajavi were a voice of reason in the MIddle East, as leaders of the Iranian Liberation Front, they stood in direct opposition to the fundamentalist regime now established in Iran. The Rajavi's promoted a kinder and more intelligent concept of Islam - a concept based on a deeper and more conscise interpretation of the Koran, one that gave women equal rights whilst simulataneously promoting Socialism. Being forced into exile, the ILF were grouped on the Iran/Iraq border, but since the invasion of Iraq, there's been no news of them whatsoever. The last I heard of Mrs Rajavi was that she was under house arrest in France being threatened with deportation - Mr Rajavi at that time (2002) was missing presumed dead.

Medialens - Iraq Body Count: “A Very Misleading Exercise”

The mainstream media are continuing to use figures provided by the website Iraq Body Count (IBC) to sell the public a number for total post-invasion deaths of Iraqis that is perhaps 5-10% of the true death toll.

As we recently reported, only a handful of media outlets covered a new ORB poll revealing that 1.2 million Iraqis had been murdered since the 2003 invasion. BBC Online provided a rare example:

“A UK-based polling agency, Opinion Research Business (ORB), said it had extrapolated the figure by asking a random sample of 1,461 Iraqi adults how many people living in their household had died as a result of the violence rather than from natural causes.

“The results lend weight to a 2006 survey of Iraqi households published by the Lancet, which suggested that about 655,000 Iraqi deaths were 'a consequence of the war'.

“However, these estimates are both far higher than the running total of reported civilian deaths maintained by the campaign group Iraq Body Count which puts the figure at between 71,000 and 78,000.” (BBC Online, ’US contractors in Iraq shootout,’ September 17, 2007;

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/6998458.stm)

BBC’s Newsnight programme used IBC’s figures in the same way:

“More than a million Iraqis have been killed since the invasion in 2003, according to the British polling company ORB. The study’s likely to fuel controversy over the true, human cost of the war. It’s significantly up on the previous highest estimate of 650,000 deaths published by the Lancet last October... The independent Iraqi [sic] Body Count group puts the current total at closer to 75,000.” (Newsnight, BBC2, September 14, 2007)

These reports again raise serious issues about what IBC’s figures actually mean, how they are being used and misused to cast doubt on higher numbers, and about what IBC is doing to promote or reduce the confusion. (See our 2006 Media Alerts archive for previous analysis, beginning with:
