THE DAILY WAR!

THE HOLY ROMAN
 
Another slow day in the Whore House...
 
EMPIRE OF THE GERMAN NATION
 
Germany has ordered 4 NATO air reconnaissance planes to spot potential terror attacks during the FIFA Soccer World Cup. Germany must prove it has overcome one of the darkest chapters in sports history, after 8 Palestinian terrorists kidnapped 11 Israeli athletes during the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich.
[WAR: And the opening ceremonies of the World Cup is in Munich.]
 
German-American relations
The German public has turned dramatically distrustful of America’s power and purpose since 9/11. A recent Pew survey showed a majority of Germans believing American power is bad for the world.
 
EUROPE/RUSSIA
 
Papers see Israel thrown into turmoil after Sharon suffered a serious stroke, and the deaths of 2 Turkish teenagers from bird flu are blamed on poverty and ignorance.
 
 
MIDEAST/AFRICA/ASIA
 
Ariel Sharon is unlikely to return as Israel's prime minister after his massive stroke, doctors said last night, threatening to derail faltering steps towards peace in the Middle East.
(LX op/ed: After Sharon)
 
A new movement is set to be presented next week by residents of Judea and Samaria calling for Jews there to secede from Israel and create their own autonomous Jewish entity in part to head off the possibility of further unilateral Israeli withdrawals from the area.
 
Ahmadinejad's mystical pre-occupation with the coming of a Shiite Islamic messiah figure – the Mahdi – is raising concerns that a nuclear-armed Islamic Republic could trigger the kind of global conflagration he envisions will set the stage for the end of the world.
 
Iran threw negotiations on its nuclear program into disarray Thursday, abruptly canceling a high-level meeting with the UNs' nuclear monitoring agency in Vienna as the head of Iran's negotiating team was said to have returned home to Tehran. The unexpected turn of events stunned and frustrated both International Atomic Energy Agency officials and foreign diplomats.
 
A nuclear Kindgdom of the South?...
International investigators and western intelligence have for the first time named Sudan as a major conduit for sophisticated engineering equipment that could be used in nuclear weapons programmes. Hundreds of millions of pounds of equipment was imported into the African country over a 3-year period before the 9/11 attacks and has since disappeared.
[WAR: For years I've speculated that Sudan is the Kingdom of the South and is going to pull-off a terrorist attack against Germany, the Kingdom of the North. So maybe it's going to be a nuclear attack. Germany will retaliate - not only in revenge, but also to take over Sudan's oil. And this will cause China to become involved...]
 
An agreement between India and Japan to start an annual dialogue on nuclear matters is indicative of the realignment of political forces on the Asian continent.
 
With Japan's decision to pursue permanent membership on the UN Security Council without its G4 allies, the prospects of Germany joining the big guys in the top UN body are looking less rosy than ever.
 
HOUSE OF ISRAEL
 
A series of internal documents from the US Secret Service obtained by the McCutain Daily Gazette provide details of a project involving the transfer of thousands of telephone and bank records to a government database. The documents reveal the transfer of thousands of individual telephone records into a special database the Secret Service created during the first frantic days after the OKC bombing.
 
George Bush and his Party have asserted absolutely that they have total power granted by the Constitution to them to do whatever they decide is necessary to protect the American people.
 
Border Patrol officials say as many as 20 shots fired at agents near Brownsville, Texas, originated from Mexico in the most recent of a series of incidents involving gunplay and other violence directed at Americans from south of the Rio Grande River.
 
ECONOMY
 
China indicated it could begin to diversify its rapidly growing foreign exchange reserves away from the US dollar and government bonds – a potential shift with significant implications for global financial and commodity markets.
 
Treasury Secretary John Snow said the US was not satisfied with China's move toward currency reform but warned against retaliatory trade measures.
 
Call it the 99-year cycle. If it continues, then this year may not be an enjoyable one for investors. "Nine Shift," a book looking at parallels between the first years of the 20th century and the first years of the 21st century, points out that the stock market over the last 9 years resembles the market in the years beginning in 1898.
 
MISC
 
The best things in life - television, radio, newspapers - used to be free, or pretty darned close to free. And now they're not. So the media question for 2006 is: What are you going to pay for, and why?
(So...Be a warrior and donate to the WAR effort!)
