How appropriate that a holocaust denier is also misogynistic.

We are the TERRORISTS...

We will divide Iran, Turkey, Syria and Iraq in to the pieces until
ever single individual is free from thought control, torture and
brain-washing! Every nation should have their own land where they can
practice their own culture. Iran has consist of about 20 some
different nations and we will tore them in to 20 different countries
and give mollahs a small land where they can practice their barbaric
religion to themselves and only harm temselves.

WE WILL BREAK IRAN IN TO THE PIECES!!! "

The Terror Organization KADEK

1. General

Historical Background

The initial activities regarding the terror organization PKK have
started with the intellectual activities of some students defending the
Marxist-Leninist ideology within the Ankara's Democratic Patriotic
Students Association (ADYÖD) under the leadership of Abdullah ÖCALAN
since 1973.

Abdullah ÖCALAN and his friends declared the setting up of the
Kurdistan's Workers Party (PKK) during an illegal meeting held in the
Diyarbakir province, Lice district, Fis village on November 27, 1978
which was called 1 st. Congress.

The inital documents stating PKK's aim were the "The Way Of
Kurdistan's Revolution-Manifesto" and party program published in 1978.
According to the said program, the aim of the terror organization is to
found initially an independent Marxist-Leninist Kurdistan state in the
East and Southeast Anatolian regions in Turkey by using the method of
armed propaganda and to achieve subsequently its final goal of
establishing an "Independent United Kurdistan" through the unification
of the Kurdish states to be founded in neighboring countries.

To this end, the terror organization PKK having officially declared
the commencement of its armed activities following the bloody attacks
on the districts Eruh and Þemdinli on August 15, 1984 has determined
four-stage strategy in order to divide and destroy Turkey by trying to
gather some part of the people, who have been living in peace within
the country for thousands of years, on a separate territory under a
different flag claiming that they have allegedly a different identity.

According to the above-mentioned strategy, it has been intended to;

- Obtain certain cultural and social rights at the first stage,

- Set up an autonomy or another administrative system of federation
type at the second stage,

- Establish the alleged North Kurdistan in our territory at the
third stage and

- Found an independent and united Kurdistan state in the region to
include some parts of Iranian, Iraqi and Syrian territories at the
final stage.

To this end, the terror organization PKK has adopted the method of
separatism-based, three-phased armed propaganda which was called the
war of people, and based on violence directed against the regional
people. Accordingly, the terror organization PKK has aimed at.

- Completing strategic defense stage through armed propaganda,
alleged guerilla war and mobile war operations under the control of its
leading staff within the framework of its ideological ideas in the
first phase,

- Partially completing the process of establishing fronts and an
army and thus, creating the strategic balance which will provide the
balance of power between the security forces and the terror
organization in the second phase and,

- Establishing saved areas in the region after triggering public
risings wherever possible by escalating the conflicts and passing into
strategic attack state when seizing the authority in the third phase,

The terror organization which has increased its armed force over 8
thousand men and raised the violence it has used against the people
regardless of their being women, elder or children to the highest level
from 1992 has not been able to achieve the above-mentioned stages until
today due to the measures taken in accordance with the "Area
Superiority Concept" put into practice from 1994, and the operations
successfully conducted by security forces. As a result, the separatist
terror organization was forced to take the decision of unilateral
ceasefire four times in 1993, 1995, 1998 and finally on September 01,
1999 in order to preserve its terrorist power.

The terror organization desiring to exploit the alleged cease-fire
as an opportunity of recovery for tactical purposes has tried to prove
that it still maintains its existence by continuing its acts and
violence against the civilians and security forces in rural, on the one
hand, carrying out sabotage and bomb attacks in the cities, on the
other hand.

The Turkish Armed Forces has gained an important success in pulling
down the terror organization and its activities to a marginal level
through a successful military operation it has conducted under the
Turkish constitution and legislation to destroy the internal threat, by
acting in a way that ensures the simultaneous implementation of a
series of administrative, social and economic measures taken to prevent
the support being provided to the terror organization.

The last achievement of the Turkish Armed Forces in struggling
against terrorism was that head of the terror organization A. ÖCALAN,
who was deported from Syria, was taken to Turkey following his capture
in Kenya/Nairobi on February 15, 1999 and brought before the
independent court.

The terror organization, tending to resort again to violence during
the period when the head of the terror organization has been taken to
Turkey and brought before the judge, has been able to adapt itself to
the new situation in a short time within the framework of the defense
that head of the terror organization has made in the court and has
tried to reach its goal by exploiting Turkey's EU goal and certain
values such as human rights and democratic rights widely accepted by
the international community. Within the framework of his defense in the
court, the head of the terrorist organization has changed his tactic
and begun to articulate such concepts as "Democratic Republic" and
"Democratic Middle Eastern Union" in its defense to save himself from
capital punishment.

At the VII. Congress of the terror organization held in the Kandil
Mountain region in Iraq on January 02-23, 2000 during which the new
strategy of the terror organization was agreed, it was decided that;

- The armed activities should be resumed in case of execution of
head of the terrorist organization and.

- The Kurdistan's National Liberation Army (ARGK), the alleged
military flank of the terror organization should maintain its existence
under the title of "People Defense Forces (Hezi Parastini Gel-HP) and
the Kurdistan's National Liberation Front (ERNK), the alleged political
flank of the terror organization, which mainly carries out activities
in European countries under the "Kurdish Democratic People Union
(Yekita Democratic A Gele Kurd-YDK) until appropriate legal
arrangements regarding recognition of the Kurdish identity in Turkey
and constitutional guarantees are provided.

The legalization plan that the terror organization has developed
according to its new strategy agreed during its congress, provides for
the followings:

- Giving the message that it is ready to make peace with the
government of Turkish Republic in order to obtain the status of being
recognized as a party in national and international public opinion,

- Handing over some terrorists to the security forces to convince
the public opinion that it is allegedly ready to make peace,

- Making political studies within the People's Democratic Party
(HADEP), which has political connection with the terror organization,
or a similar legal organization, and cooperating with other political
parties,

- Making guiding studies within the municipalities governed by
HADEP to broaden grass roots,

- Having contacts and cooperating with intellectuals from all
circles in Turkey's democratization to ensure the alleged cultural
rights of Kurds being recognized,

- Demanding that the Turkish government should make legal changes
to prove its goodwill through the human rights organizations,

- Bringing up the education in Kurdish language,

- Ensuring the Kurdish identity coming to the fore by focusing on
cultural activities,

- Organizing campaigns in order to ensure the scope of the law of
amnesty being extended,

The terror organization has attempted by its new plan to reach its
final goal that it could not achieve through its armed struggle it has
been carrying out for 16 years, through legalization efforts. To this
end, it has increased its activities it has conducted under the title
of the "Democratic Republic" at home and under "Political Settlement (
Solution ) To The Kurdish Problem" abroad,

In the plan the terror organization developed under the name of
"Peace Project" on March 07, 2000 following the VII. Congress,

- The alleged "Kurdish Problem" and PKK terror are identified with
the Irish, Palestinian, East Timor and Basque problems and it is
requested that the related "Political Solution" initiatives should also
be taken in Turkey and,

- It is put forward that the settlement of the alleged Kurdish
problem in Turkey in accordance with the predictions of head of the
terror organization, Öcalan would also serve the settlement of the
problems in the Middle Eastern countries, and the "Democratic Middle
Eastern Union" to be set up in regional countries would lead to
economic, social and cultural developments,

- Subsequently, in its 2nd "Party Assembly" meeting held in North
Iraq in September 2000, the terror organization decided to be
reorganized to conceal its terrorist identity and began to term its
former structure with innocent titles,

- Assuming that the new strategy of the terror organization could
not be well understood and adopted by its mountain members, the terror
organization held the III. "Party Assembly" meeting between 27 February
and 03 March 2001 and focused on restructuring activities in accordance
with the decisions it took during the said meeting. In addition, the
terror organization, having assessed that the people movement
activities could not achieve the desired level, has intensified its
efforts to ensure its new strategy being accepted by its members and
supporters through a series of meetings.

In this context;

* The "Centralized Propaganda and Media Conference" was held
between 29 May and 07 June 2001 in order for the efforts in the media
field, that the terror organization considers to be insufficient, and
to reach an organized structure,

* The "1st Public Movement Conference" was held between 20 June and
02 July 2001 for the purpose of carrying out the acts and activities
the terror organization has started under the name of alleged 2nd Peace
Efforts, in a more organized manner through its supporters and
sympathizers who are directed by the front organizations,

* The "1st Public Defense Forces (HPG), Conference" was held
between 28 June and 12 July 2001 in order to develop a new structure by
making radical changes in the armed flank of the terror organization
from the armed group order and discipline to war tactics and
techniques,

* The "3rd Free Women Party (PJA) Conference" was held on July
11-22, 2001 to make the women organizations conducting activities in
legal and illegal fields more active and organized,

* The "1st Culture, Art and Folklore Conference" was held on 11-22
July 2001 in order to indoctrinate wider parts of the people with
separatist ideas and,

* The "6th National Conference" was held on August 05-22, 2001
under the leadership of the alleged Supreme Council of the terror
organization in order to coordinate the conferences to be held in line
with the activities the terror organization carries out in various
fields and to direct all organizational efforts towards public
movements,

- The above-mentioned conferences have drawn special attention as
the ones which have been held within the framework of preparations for
the 8th Congress of the terror organization PKK. According to the
decisions taken during the said conferences, various campaigns have
been organized primarily in Europe and subsequently in Turkey for the
purpose of gaining support for the requests of constitutional
recognition of the Kurdish identity and the use of Kurdish language as
the language of education. However, the terror organization has not
been able to reach the desired level of participation by the people.

- On the other hand, the terror organization has focused on
re-establishment of the terrorist groups not directly affected by the
security forces and on their armed training in raid, laying ambush and
sabotage. The disagreements arising within the terror organization,
PKK-KPU conflict and escape of nearly five hundred Syrian terrorists
from the terror organization in particular have been the noticeable
problems that the terror organization has faced within the period under
review.

- In the meantime, the defense that head of the terror organization
has developed for his trial lasting in the European Court of Human
Rights has been printed by the terrorist organization in a two-volume
book under the title of "From the Sumerian Monastic State To The
Democratic Republic", accepted as the second manifesto and begun to be
used as a guide document for all activities carried out by the terror
organization and as a basic document in the ideological training of the
terrorist organization's members and supporters.

- The 8th Congress preparations which have lasted for a long time
in accordance with the outline of the said defense of head of the
terrorist organization was held in the Kandil Mountain region in
Northern Iraq on April 04-10, 2002 with the participation of 285
terrorist's 106 of whom were women and 179 men as well as about 100
audiences,

- In the said congress during which the activities the terror
organization PKK has conducted in the past and report developed
according to the defense of head of the terror organization and
submitted to the congress have also been evaluated, it has been pointed
out that;

* The terror organization PKK has obtained some advantages like
raising of the Kurdish problem in international area as a result of the
armed struggle it has conducted since 1977,

* However, the ideology and modus operandi adopted by the terror
organization at the beginning have failed due to the collapse of the
former Soviet system and the anti-terror environment arising following
the September 11, 2001 terrorist attack on the US and,

* It has been the time that PKK would be replaced by a completely
new formation in order not to be included in the list of terrorist
organizations, and it must undergo restructuring beginning from its
ideology to its lowest-level units, including a change in its
organizational title,

* The "3rd Free Women Party (PJA) Conference" was held on July
11-22, 2001 to make the women organizations conducting activities in
legal and illegal fields more active and organized,

* The "1st Culture, Art and Folklore Conference" was held on 11-22
July 2001 in order to indoctrinate wider parts of the people with
separatist ideas and,

new formation in order not to be included in the list of terrorist
organizations, and it must undergo restructuring beginning from its
ideology to its lowest-level units, including a change in its
organizational title,

- During its 8th Congress, the terror organization has stated that
PKK's role has ended under current circumstances and decided that;

* It will not use the title "PKK" in the activities it carries out
in every field from April 04, 2002 when the birthday of head of the
terrorists is,

* It will conduct its activities under the title "Kurdistan's
Freedom and Democracy Congress-KADEK" from now on in accordance with a
new program, statute and organization based on the solution of Kurdish
problem in line with the main points of the defense that head of the
terrorists has submitted to the European Court of Human Rights within
the existing borders in four countries,

* PKK considers KADEK as its sole legal representative and disposes
of its moral and physical acquisitions to KADEK. The terror
organization made a press conference in Belgium/Brussels on April 16,
2000 and publicized its decisions.

- In the meantime, the fact that the inclusion of the PKK in the
list of terrorist organizations developed by the European Union member
nations which was issued on May 4, 2002 has led the members of the
terrorist organizations into great concern regarding the possible
inclusion of KADEK in the list of terrorist organizations. For this
reason, the terror organization has immediately begun to make protests
against such nations as Denmark, Spain, the UK who have had an effect
on the related decision-making,

Sue~nan con un paraiso terrenal que realmente es La Gran Estafa, como

La prensa libre presa? Preguntale a Michael Moore que esta disfrutando

Hay algun sitio en la internet que se pueda ver en Cuba que presente

algun partido politico en Cuba que no sea el comunista?
hay alguna estacion de TV que no sea la propiedad del estado

Aqui se vende de todo t cada ciudadano tiene la oportunidad de comprar
lo que quiere. Es muy diferente al castro-fascismo donde es el partido
el que decide lo que se va a decir y lo que no.

Eso no es verdad. Ese tratado no fue contraido por un dictador militar.

Vaya caray! Sigues con tu Guantanamo. Ya se ha discutido mucho. Te
envio un ejemplo de muchos otros que escribi hace unos meses. Cambia de
tema Pipi:

"Estamos hablando de la base naval de Guantanamo y saltas a Iraq.
Volvamos a Guantanamo. En primer, lugar debieras recomendarle a tu amo
de Kuba que sea macho y que ataque la base naval de Guantanamo. No se
tiene que preocupar de nada."

"La base naval de Guantanamo ocupa 72 kilometros cuadrados del
territorio nacional de Cuba. No me cabe la menor duda que, cuando
llegue la hora de la libertad, pasara a manos de cubanos. Si Cuba no
hubiera caido en manos de un asesino megalomano como Fidel Castro, con
un odio patologico hacia los Estados Unidos, ya los norteamericanos
hubieran cerrado la base. Los EEUU han cerrado cientos de bases en el
mundo porque ya no les hacia falta. La base de Caimanera hubiera estado

entre ellas."

"Lo mas importante para el pueblo de Cuba no son 72 kilometros
cuadrados
ocupado por la Marina norteamericana que representa el 0.00105 del
territorio nacional. Mas importante para nosotros los cubanos son los
68,886 kilometros cuadrados de terrirorio nacional que estan ocupados
por un SATRAPA que ha destruido a una nacion y que se mantiene en el
poder por medio del terror."

ever single individual is free from thought control, torture and

The Terror Organization KADEK

1. General

Historical Background

The initial activities regarding the terror organization PKK have
started with the intellectual activities of some students defending the
Marxist-Leninist ideology within the Ankara's Democratic Patriotic
Students Association (ADYÖD) under the leadership of Abdullah ÖCALAN
since 1973.

Abdullah ÖCALAN and his friends declared the setting up of the
Kurdistan's Workers Party (PKK) during an illegal meeting held in the
Diyarbakir province, Lice district, Fis village on November 27, 1978
which was called 1 st. Congress.

The inital documents stating PKK's aim were the "The Way Of
Kurdistan's Revolution-Manifesto" and party program published in 1978.
According to the said program, the aim of the terror organization is to
found initially an independent Marxist-Leninist Kurdistan state in the
East and Southeast Anatolian regions in Turkey by using the method of
armed propaganda and to achieve subsequently its final goal of
establishing an "Independent United Kurdistan" through the unification
of the Kurdish states to be founded in neighboring countries.

To this end, the terror organization PKK having officially declared
the commencement of its armed activities following the bloody attacks
on the districts Eruh and Þemdinli on August 15, 1984 has determined
four-stage strategy in order to divide and destroy Turkey by trying to
gather some part of the people, who have been living in peace within
the country for thousands of years, on a separate territory under a
different flag claiming that they have allegedly a different identity.

According to the above-mentioned strategy, it has been intended to;

- Obtain certain cultural and social rights at the first stage,

- Set up an autonomy or another administrative system of federation
type at the second stage,

- Establish the alleged North Kurdistan in our territory at the
third stage and

- Found an independent and united Kurdistan state in the region to
include some parts of Iranian, Iraqi and Syrian territories at the
final stage.

To this end, the terror organization PKK has adopted the method of
separatism-based, three-phased armed propaganda which was called the
war of people, and based on violence directed against the regional
people. Accordingly, the terror organization PKK has aimed at.

- Completing strategic defense stage through armed propaganda,
alleged guerilla war and mobile war operations under the control of its
leading staff within the framework of its ideological ideas in the
first phase,

- Partially completing the process of establishing fronts and an
army and thus, creating the strategic balance which will provide the
balance of power between the security forces and the terror
organization in the second phase and,

- Establishing saved areas in the region after triggering public
risings wherever possible by escalating the conflicts and passing into
strategic attack state when seizing the authority in the third phase,

The terror organization which has increased its armed force over 8
thousand men and raised the violence it has used against the people
regardless of their being women, elder or children to the highest level
from 1992 has not been able to achieve the above-mentioned stages until
today due to the measures taken in accordance with the "Area
Superiority Concept" put into practice from 1994, and the operations
successfully conducted by security forces. As a result, the separatist
terror organization was forced to take the decision of unilateral
ceasefire four times in 1993, 1995, 1998 and finally on September 01,
1999 in order to preserve its terrorist power.

The terror organization desiring to exploit the alleged cease-fire
as an opportunity of recovery for tactical purposes has tried to prove
that it still maintains its existence by continuing its acts and
violence against the civilians and security forces in rural, on the one
hand, carrying out sabotage and bomb attacks in the cities, on the
other hand.

The Turkish Armed Forces has gained an important success in pulling
down the terror organization and its activities to a marginal level
through a successful military operation it has conducted under the
Turkish constitution and legislation to destroy the internal threat, by
acting in a way that ensures the simultaneous implementation of a
series of administrative, social and economic measures taken to prevent
the support being provided to the terror organization.

The last achievement of the Turkish Armed Forces in struggling
against terrorism was that head of the terror organization A. ÖCALAN,
who was deported from Syria, was taken to Turkey following his capture
in Kenya/Nairobi on February 15, 1999 and brought before the
independent court.

The terror organization, tending to resort again to violence during
the period when the head of the terror organization has been taken to
Turkey and brought before the judge, has been able to adapt itself to
the new situation in a short time within the framework of the defense
that head of the terror organization has made in the court and has
tried to reach its goal by exploiting Turkey's EU goal and certain
values such as human rights and democratic rights widely accepted by
the international community. Within the framework of his defense in the
court, the head of the terrorist organization has changed his tactic
and begun to articulate such concepts as "Democratic Republic" and
"Democratic Middle Eastern Union" in its defense to save himself from
capital punishment.

At the VII. Congress of the terror organization held in the Kandil
Mountain region in Iraq on January 02-23, 2000 during which the new
strategy of the terror organization was agreed, it was decided that;

- The armed activities should be resumed in case of execution of
head of the terrorist organization and.

- The Kurdistan's National Liberation Army (ARGK), the alleged
military flank of the terror organization should maintain its existence
under the title of "People Defense Forces (Hezi Parastini Gel-HP) and
the Kurdistan's National Liberation Front (ERNK), the alleged political
flank of the terror organization, which mainly carries out activities
in European countries under the "Kurdish Democratic People Union
(Yekita Democratic A Gele Kurd-YDK) until appropriate legal
arrangements regarding recognition of the Kurdish identity in Turkey
and constitutional guarantees are provided.

The legalization plan that the terror organization has developed
according to its new strategy agreed during its congress, provides for
the followings:

- Giving the message that it is ready to make peace with the
government of Turkish Republic in order to obtain the status of being
recognized as a party in national and international public opinion,

- Handing over some terrorists to the security forces to convince
the public opinion that it is allegedly ready to make peace,

- Making political studies within the People's Democratic Party
(HADEP), which has political connection with the terror organization,
or a similar legal organization, and cooperating with other political
parties,

- Making guiding studies within the municipalities governed by
HADEP to broaden grass roots,

- Having contacts and cooperating with intellectuals from all
circles in Turkey's democratization to ensure the alleged cultural
rights of Kurds being recognized,

- Demanding that the Turkish government should make legal changes
to prove its goodwill through the human rights organizations,

- Bringing up the education in Kurdish language,

- Ensuring the Kurdish identity coming to the fore by focusing on
cultural activities,

- Organizing campaigns in order to ensure the scope of the law of
amnesty being extended,

The terror organization has attempted by its new plan to reach its
final goal that it could not achieve through its armed struggle it has
been carrying out for 16 years, through legalization efforts. To this
end, it has increased its activities it has conducted under the title
of the "Democratic Republic" at home and under "Political Settlement (
Solution ) To The Kurdish Problem" abroad,

In the plan the terror organization developed under the name of
"Peace Project" on March 07, 2000 following the VII. Congress,

- The alleged "Kurdish Problem" and PKK terror are identified with
the Irish, Palestinian, East Timor and Basque problems and it is
requested that the related "Political Solution" initiatives should also
be taken in Turkey and,

- It is put forward that the settlement of the alleged Kurdish
problem in Turkey in accordance with the predictions of head of the
terror organization, Öcalan would also serve the settlement of the
problems in the Middle Eastern countries, and the "Democratic Middle
Eastern Union" to be set up in regional countries would lead to
economic, social and cultural developments,

- Subsequently, in its 2nd "Party Assembly" meeting held in North
Iraq in September 2000, the terror organization decided to be
reorganized to conceal its terrorist identity and began to term its
former structure with innocent titles,

- Assuming that the new strategy of the terror organization could
not be well understood and adopted by its mountain members, the terror
organization held the III. "Party Assembly" meeting between 27 February
and 03 March 2001 and focused on restructuring activities in accordance
with the decisions it took during the said meeting. In addition, the
terror organization, having assessed that the people movement
activities could not achieve the desired level, has intensified its
efforts to ensure its new strategy being accepted by its members and
supporters through a series of meetings.

In this context;

* The "Centralized Propaganda and Media Conference" was held
between 29 May and 07 June 2001 in order for the efforts in the media
field, that the terror organization considers to be insufficient, and
to reach an organized structure,

* The "1st Public Movement Conference" was held between 20 June and
02 July 2001 for the purpose of carrying out the acts and activities
the terror organization has started under the name of alleged 2nd Peace
Efforts, in a more organized manner through its supporters and
sympathizers who are directed by the front organizations,

* The "1st Public Defense Forces (HPG), Conference" was held
between 28 June and 12 July 2001 in order to develop a new structure by
making radical changes in the armed flank of the terror organization
from the armed group order and discipline to war tactics and
techniques,

* The "3rd Free Women Party (PJA) Conference" was held on July
11-22, 2001 to make the women organizations conducting activities in
legal and illegal fields more active and organized,

* The "1st Culture, Art and Folklore Conference" was held on 11-22
July 2001 in order to indoctrinate wider parts of the people with
separatist ideas and,

* The "6th National Conference" was held on August 05-22, 2001
under the leadership of the alleged Supreme Council of the terror
organization in order to coordinate the conferences to be held in line
with the activities the terror organization carries out in various
fields and to direct all organizational efforts towards public
movements,

- The above-mentioned conferences have drawn special attention as
the ones which have been held within the framework of preparations for
the 8th Congress of the terror organization PKK. According to the
decisions taken during the said conferences, various campaigns have
been organized primarily in Europe and subsequently in Turkey for the
purpose of gaining support for the requests of constitutional
recognition of the Kurdish identity and the use of Kurdish language as
the language of education. However, the terror organization has not
been able to reach the desired level of participation by the people.

- On the other hand, the terror organization has focused on
re-establishment of the terrorist groups not directly affected by the
security forces and on their armed training in raid, laying ambush and
sabotage. The disagreements arising within the terror organization,
PKK-KPU conflict and escape of nearly five hundred Syrian terrorists
from the terror organization in particular have been the noticeable
problems that the terror organization has faced within the period under
review.

- In the meantime, the defense that head of the terror organization
has developed for his trial lasting in the European Court of Human
Rights has been printed by the terrorist organization in a two-volume
book under the title of "From the Sumerian Monastic State To The
Democratic Republic", accepted as the second manifesto and begun to be
used as a guide document for all activities carried out by the terror
organization and as a basic document in the ideological training of the
terrorist organization's members and supporters.

- The 8th Congress preparations which have lasted for a long time
in accordance with the outline of the said defense of head of the
terrorist organization was held in the Kandil Mountain region in
Northern Iraq on April 04-10, 2002 with the participation of 285
terrorist's 106 of whom were women and 179 men as well as about 100
audiences,

- In the said congress during which the activities the terror
organization PKK has conducted in the past and report developed
according to the defense of head of the terror organization and
submitted to the congress have also been evaluated, it has been pointed
out that;

* The terror organization PKK has obtained some advantages like
raising of the Kurdish problem in international area as a result of the
armed struggle it has conducted since 1977,

* However, the ideology and modus operandi adopted by the terror
organization at the beginning have failed due to the collapse of the
former Soviet system and the anti-terror environment arising following
the September 11, 2001 terrorist attack on the US and,

* It has been the time that PKK would be replaced by a completely
new formation in order not to be included in the list of terrorist
organizations, and it must undergo restructuring beginning from its
ideology to its lowest-level units, including a change in its
organizational title,

* The "3rd Free Women Party (PJA) Conference" was held on July
11-22, 2001 to make the women organizations conducting activities in
legal and illegal fields more active and organized,

* The "1st Culture, Art and Folklore Conference" was held on 11-22
July 2001 in order to indoctrinate wider parts of the people with
separatist ideas and,

* The "6th National Conference" was held on August 05-22, 2001
under the leadership of the alleged Supreme Council of the terror

new formation in order not to be included in the list of terrorist
organizations, and it must undergo restructuring beginning from its
ideology to its lowest-level units, including a change in its
organizational title,

- During its 8th Congress, the terror organization has stated that
PKK's role has ended under current circumstances and decided that;

* It will not use the title "PKK" in the activities it carries out
in every field from April 04, 2002 when the birthday of head of the
terrorists is,

* It will conduct its activities under the title "Kurdistan's
Freedom and Democracy Congress-KADEK" from now on in accordance with a
new program, statute and organization based on the solution of Kurdish
problem in line with the main points of the defense that head of the
terrorists has submitted to the European Court of Human Rights within
the existing borders in four countries,

* PKK considers KADEK as its sole legal representative and disposes
of its moral and physical acquisitions to KADEK. The terror
organization made a press conference in Belgium/Brussels on April 16,
2000 and publicized its decisions.

- In the meantime, the fact that the inclusion of the PKK in the
list of terrorist organizations developed by the European Union member
nations which was issued on May 4, 2002 has led the members of the
terrorist organizations into great concern regarding the possible
inclusion of KADEK in the list of terrorist organizations. For this
reason, the terror organization has immediately begun to make protests
against such nations as Denmark, Spain, the UK who have had an effect
on the related decision-making,

All very nice, but how many out of the elegiable voting population are
glassed as 'values voters' - going by New Zealands last election, a massive
0.9% could be classified as that (going by the Christian party votes that
were made).

values such as human rights and democratic rights widely accepted by
the international community. Within the framework of his defense in the
court, the head of the terrorist organization has changed his tactic
and begun to articulate such concepts as "Democratic Republic" and
"Democratic Middle Eastern Union" in its defense to save himself from
capital punishment.

At the VII. Congress of the terror organization held in the Kandil
Mountain region in Iraq on January 02-23, 2000 during which the new
strategy of the terror organization was agreed, it was decided that;

- The armed activities should be resumed in case of execution of
head of the terrorist organization and.

- The Kurdistan's National Liberation Army (ARGK), the alleged
military flank of the terror organization should maintain its existence
under the title of "People Defense Forces (Hezi Parastini Gel-HP) and
the Kurdistan's National Liberation Front (ERNK), the alleged political
flank of the terror organization, which mainly carries out activities
in European countries under the "Kurdish Democratic People Union
(Yekita Democratic A Gele Kurd-YDK) until appropriate legal
arrangements regarding recognition of the Kurdish identity in Turkey
and constitutional guarantees are provided.

The legalization plan that the terror organization has developed
according to its new strategy agreed during its congress, provides for
the followings:

- Giving the message that it is ready to make peace with the
government of Turkish Republic in order to obtain the status of being
recognized as a party in national and international public opinion,

- Handing over some terrorists to the security forces to convince
the public opinion that it is allegedly ready to make peace,

- Making political studies within the People's Democratic Party
(HADEP), which has political connection with the terror organization,
or a similar legal organization, and cooperating with other political
parties,

- Making guiding studies within the municipalities governed by
HADEP to broaden grass roots,

- Having contacts and cooperating with intellectuals from all
circles in Turkey's democratization to ensure the alleged cultural
rights of Kurds being recognized,

- Demanding that the Turkish government should make legal changes
to prove its goodwill through the human rights organizations,

- Bringing up the education in Kurdish language,

- Ensuring the Kurdish identity coming to the fore by focusing on
cultural activities,

- Organizing campaigns in order to ensure the scope of the law of
amnesty being extended,

The terror organization has attempted by its new plan to reach its
final goal that it could not achieve through its armed struggle it has
been carrying out for 16 years, through legalization efforts. To this
end, it has increased its activities it has conducted under the title
of the "Democratic Republic" at home and under "Political Settlement (
Solution ) To The Kurdish Problem" abroad,

In the plan the terror organization developed under the name of
"Peace Project" on March 07, 2000 following the VII. Congress,

- The alleged "Kurdish Problem" and PKK terror are identified with
the Irish, Palestinian, East Timor and Basque problems and it is
requested that the related "Political Solution" initiatives should also
be taken in Turkey and,

- It is put forward that the settlement of the alleged Kurdish
problem in Turkey in accordance with the predictions of head of the
terror organization, Öcalan would also serve the settlement of the
problems in the Middle Eastern countries, and the "Democratic Middle
Eastern Union" to be set up in regional countries would lead to
economic, social and cultural developments,

- Subsequently, in its 2nd "Party Assembly" meeting held in North
Iraq in September 2000, the terror organization decided to be
reorganized to conceal its terrorist identity and began to term its
former structure with innocent titles,

- Assuming that the new strategy of the terror organization could
not be well understood and adopted by its mountain members, the terror
organization held the III. "Party Assembly" meeting between 27 February
and 03 March 2001 and focused on restructuring activities in accordance
with the decisions it took during the said meeting. In addition, the
terror organization, having assessed that the people movement
activities could not achieve the desired level, has intensified its
efforts to ensure its new strategy being accepted by its members and
supporters through a series of meetings.

In this context;

* The "Centralized Propaganda and Media Conference" was held
between 29 May and 07 June 2001 in order for the efforts in the media
field, that the terror organization considers to be insufficient, and
to reach an organized structure,

* The "1st Public Movement Conference" was held between 20 June and
02 July 2001 for the purpose of carrying out the acts and activities
the terror organization has started under the name of alleged 2nd Peace
Efforts, in a more organized manner through its supporters and
sympathizers who are directed by the front organizations,

* The "1st Public Defense Forces (HPG), Conference" was held
between 28 June and 12 July 2001 in order to develop a new structure by
making radical changes in the armed flank of the terror organization
from the armed group order and discipline to war tactics and
techniques,

* The "3rd Free Women Party (PJA) Conference" was held on July
11-22, 2001 to make the women organizations conducting activities in
legal and illegal fields more active and organized,

* The "1st Culture, Art and Folklore Conference" was held on 11-22
July 2001 in order to indoctrinate wider parts of the people with
separatist ideas and,

* The "6th National Conference" was held on August 05-22, 2001
under the leadership of the alleged Supreme Council of the terror
organization in order to coordinate the conferences to be held in line
with the activities the terror organization carries out in various
fields and to direct all organizational efforts towards public
movements,

- The above-mentioned conferences have drawn special attention as
the ones which have been held within the framework of preparations for
the 8th Congress of the terror organization PKK. According to the
decisions taken during the said conferences, various campaigns have
been organized primarily in Europe and subsequently in Turkey for the
purpose of gaining support for the requests of constitutional
recognition of the Kurdish identity and the use of Kurdish language as
the language of education. However, the terror organization has not
been able to reach the desired level of participation by the people.

- On the other hand, the terror organization has focused on
re-establishment of the terrorist groups not directly affected by the
security forces and on their armed training in raid, laying ambush and
sabotage. The disagreements arising within the terror organization,
PKK-KPU conflict and escape of nearly five hundred Syrian terrorists
from the terror organization in particular have been the noticeable
problems that the terror organization has faced within the period under
review.

- In the meantime, the defense that head of the terror organization
has developed for his trial lasting in the European Court of Human
Rights has been printed by the terrorist organization in a two-volume
book under the title of "From the Sumerian Monastic State To The
Democratic Republic", accepted as the second manifesto and begun to be
used as a guide document for all activities carried out by the terror
organization and as a basic document in the ideological training of the
terrorist organization's members and supporters.

- The 8th Congress preparations which have lasted for a long time
in accordance with the outline of the said defense of head of the
terrorist organization was held in the Kandil Mountain region in
Northern Iraq on April 04-10, 2002 with the participation of 285
terrorist's 106 of whom were women and 179 men as well as about 100
audiences,

- In the said congress during which the activities the terror
organization PKK has conducted in the past and report developed
according to the defense of head of the terror organization and
submitted to the congress have also been evaluated, it has been pointed
out that;

* The terror organization PKK has obtained some advantages like
raising of the Kurdish problem in international area as a result of the
armed struggle it has conducted since 1977,

* However, the ideology and modus operandi adopted by the terror
organization at the beginning have failed due to the collapse of the
former Soviet system and the anti-terror environment arising following
the September 11, 2001 terrorist attack on the US and,

* It has been the time that PKK would be replaced by a completely
new formation in order not to be included in the list of terrorist
organizations, and it must undergo restructuring beginning from its
ideology to its lowest-level units, including a change in its
organizational title,

* The "3rd Free Women Party (PJA) Conference" was held on July
11-22, 2001 to make the women organizations conducting activities in
legal and illegal fields more active and organized,

* The "1st Culture, Art and Folklore Conference" was held on 11-22

organizations, and it must undergo restructuring beginning from its
ideology to its lowest-level units, including a change in its

- During its 8th Congress, the terror organization has stated that
PKK's role has ended under current circumstances and decided that;

* It will not use the title "PKK" in the activities it carries out
in every field from April 04, 2002 when the birthday of head of the
terrorists is,

* It will conduct its activities under the title "Kurdistan's
Freedom and Democracy Congress-KADEK" from now on in accordance with a
new program, statute and organization based on the solution of Kurdish
problem in line with the main points of the defense that head of the
terrorists has submitted to the European Court of Human Rights within
the existing borders in four countries,

* PKK considers KADEK as its sole legal representative and disposes
of its moral and physical acquisitions to KADEK. The terror
organization made a press conference in Belgium/Brussels on April 16,
2000 and publicized its decisions.

- In the meantime, the fact that the inclusion of the PKK in the
list of terrorist organizations developed by the European Union member
nations which was issued on May 4, 2002 has led the members of the
terrorist organizations into great concern regarding the possible
inclusion of KADEK in the list of terrorist organizations. For this
reason, the terror organization has immediately begun to make protests
against such nations as Denmark, Spain, the UK who have had an effect
on the related decision-making,

The Terror Organization KADEK

1. General

Historical Background

The initial activities regarding the terror organization PKK have
started with the intellectual activities of some students defending the
Marxist-Leninist ideology within the Ankara's Democratic Patriotic
Students Association (ADYÖD) under the leadership of Abdullah ÖCALAN
since 1973.

Abdullah ÖCALAN and his friends declared the setting up of the
Kurdistan's Workers Party (PKK) during an illegal meeting held in the
Diyarbakir province, Lice district, Fis village on November 27, 1978
which was called 1 st. Congress.

The inital documents stating PKK's aim were the "The Way Of
Kurdistan's Revolution-Manifesto" and party program published in 1978.
According to the said program, the aim of the terror organization is to
found initially an independent Marxist-Leninist Kurdistan state in the
East and Southeast Anatolian regions in Turkey by using the method of
armed propaganda and to achieve subsequently its final goal of
establishing an "Independent United Kurdistan" through the unification
of the Kurdish states to be founded in neighboring countries.

To this end, the terror organization PKK having officially declared
the commencement of its armed activities following the bloody attacks
on the districts Eruh and Þemdinli on August 15, 1984 has determined
four-stage strategy in order to divide and destroy Turkey by trying to
gather some part of the people, who have been living in peace within
the country for thousands of years, on a separate territory under a
different flag claiming that they have allegedly a different identity.

According to the above-mentioned strategy, it has been intended to;

- Obtain certain cultural and social rights at the first stage,

- Set up an autonomy or another administrative system of federation
type at the second stage,

- Establish the alleged North Kurdistan in our territory at the
third stage and

- Found an independent and united Kurdistan state in the region to
include some parts of Iranian, Iraqi and Syrian territories at the
final stage.

To this end, the terror organization PKK has adopted the method of
separatism-based, three-phased armed propaganda which was called the
war of people, and based on violence directed against the regional
people. Accordingly, the terror organization PKK has aimed at.

- Completing strategic defense stage through armed propaganda,
alleged guerilla war and mobile war operations under the control of its
leading staff within the framework of its ideological ideas in the
first phase,

- Partially completing the process of establishing fronts and an
army and thus, creating the strategic balance which will provide the
balance of power between the security forces and the terror
organization in the second phase and,

- Establishing saved areas in the region after triggering public
risings wherever possible by escalating the conflicts and passing into
strategic attack state when seizing the authority in the third phase,

The terror organization which has increased its armed force over 8
thousand men and raised the violence it has used against the people
regardless of their being women, elder or children to the highest level
from 1992 has not been able to achieve the above-mentioned stages until
today due to the measures taken in accordance with the "Area
Superiority Concept" put into practice from 1994, and the operations
successfully conducted by security forces. As a result, the separatist
terror organization was forced to take the decision of unilateral
ceasefire four times in 1993, 1995, 1998 and finally on September 01,
1999 in order to preserve its terrorist power.

The terror organization desiring to exploit the alleged cease-fire
as an opportunity of recovery for tactical purposes has tried to prove
that it still maintains its existence by continuing its acts and
violence against the civilians and security forces in rural, on the one
hand, carrying out sabotage and bomb attacks in the cities, on the
other hand.

The Turkish Armed Forces has gained an important success in pulling
down the terror organization and its activities to a marginal level
through a successful military operation it has conducted under the
Turkish constitution and legislation to destroy the internal threat, by
acting in a way that ensures the simultaneous implementation of a
series of administrative, social and economic measures taken to prevent
the support being provided to the terror organization.

The last achievement of the Turkish Armed Forces in struggling
against terrorism was that head of the terror organization A. ÖCALAN,
who was deported from Syria, was taken to Turkey following his capture
in Kenya/Nairobi on February 15, 1999 and brought before the
independent court.

The terror organization, tending to resort again to violence during
the period when the head of the terror organization has been taken to
Turkey and brought before the judge, has been able to adapt itself to
the new situation in a short time within the framework of the defense
that head of the terror organization has made in the court and has
tried to reach its goal by exploiting Turkey's EU goal and certain
values such as human rights and democratic rights widely accepted by
the international community. Within the framework of his defense in the
court, the head of the terrorist organization has changed his tactic
and begun to articulate such concepts as "Democratic Republic" and
"Democratic Middle Eastern Union" in its defense to save himself from
capital punishment.

At the VII. Congress of the terror organization held in the Kandil
Mountain region in Iraq on January 02-23, 2000 during which the new
strategy of the terror organization was agreed, it was decided that;

- The armed activities should be resumed in case of execution of
head of the terrorist organization and.

- The Kurdistan's National Liberation Army (ARGK), the alleged
military flank of the terror organization should maintain its existence
under the title of "People Defense Forces (Hezi Parastini Gel-HP) and
the Kurdistan's National Liberation Front (ERNK), the alleged political
flank of the terror organization, which mainly carries out activities
in European countries under the "Kurdish Democratic People Union
(Yekita Democratic A Gele Kurd-YDK) until appropriate legal
arrangements regarding recognition of the Kurdish identity in Turkey
and constitutional guarantees are provided.

The legalization plan that the terror organization has developed
according to its new strategy agreed during its congress, provides for
the followings:

- Giving the message that it is ready to make peace with the
government of Turkish Republic in order to obtain the status of being
recognized as a party in national and international public opinion,

- Handing over some terrorists to the security forces to convince
the public opinion that it is allegedly ready to make peace,

- Making political studies within the People's Democratic Party
(HADEP), which has political connection with the terror organization,
or a similar legal organization, and cooperating with other political
parties,

- Making guiding studies within the municipalities governed by
HADEP to broaden grass roots,

- Having contacts and cooperating with intellectuals from all
circles in Turkey's democratization to ensure the alleged cultural
rights of Kurds being recognized,

- Demanding that the Turkish government should make legal changes
to prove its goodwill through the human rights organizations,

- Bringing up the education in Kurdish language,

- Ensuring the Kurdish identity coming to the fore by focusing on
cultural activities,

- Organizing campaigns in order to ensure the scope of the law of
amnesty being extended,

The terror organization has attempted by its new plan to reach its
final goal that it could not achieve through its armed struggle it has
been carrying out for 16 years, through legalization efforts. To this
end, it has increased its activities it has conducted under the title
of the "Democratic Republic" at home and under "Political Settlement (
Solution ) To The Kurdish Problem" abroad,

In the plan the terror organization developed under the name of
"Peace Project" on March 07, 2000 following the VII. Congress,

- The alleged "Kurdish Problem" and PKK terror are identified with
the Irish, Palestinian, East Timor and Basque problems and it is
requested that the related "Political Solution" initiatives should also
be taken in Turkey and,

- It is put forward that the settlement of the alleged Kurdish
problem in Turkey in accordance with the predictions of head of the
terror organization, Öcalan would also serve the settlement of the
problems in the Middle Eastern countries, and the "Democratic Middle
Eastern Union" to be set up in regional countries would lead to
economic, social and cultural developments,

- Subsequently, in its 2nd "Party Assembly" meeting held in North
Iraq in September 2000, the terror organization decided to be
reorganized to conceal its terrorist identity and began to term its
former structure with innocent titles,

- Assuming that the new strategy of the terror organization could
not be well understood and adopted by its mountain members, the terror
organization held the III. "Party Assembly" meeting between 27 February
and 03 March 2001 and focused on restructuring activities in accordance
with the decisions it took during the said meeting. In addition, the
terror organization, having assessed that the people movement
activities could not achieve the desired level, has intensified its
efforts to ensure its new strategy being accepted by its members and
supporters through a series of meetings.

In this context;

* The "Centralized Propaganda and Media Conference" was held
between 29 May and 07 June 2001 in order for the efforts in the media
field, that the terror organization considers to be insufficient, and
to reach an organized structure,

* The "1st Public Movement Conference" was held between 20 June and
02 July 2001 for the purpose of carrying out the acts and activities
the terror organization has started under the name of alleged 2nd Peace
Efforts, in a more organized manner through its supporters and
sympathizers who are directed by the front organizations,

* The "1st Public Defense Forces (HPG), Conference" was held
between 28 June and 12 July 2001 in order to develop a new structure by
making radical changes in the armed flank of the terror organization

techniques,

11-22, 2001 to make the women organizations conducting activities in

July 2001 in order to indoctrinate wider parts of the people with
separatist ideas and,

* The "6th National Conference" was held on August 05-22, 2001
under the leadership of the alleged Supreme Council of the terror
organization in order to coordinate the conferences to be held in line
with the activities the terror organization carries out in various
fields and to direct all organizational efforts towards public
movements,

- The above-mentioned conferences have drawn special attention as
the ones which have been held within the framework of preparations for
the 8th Congress of the terror organization PKK. According to the
decisions taken during the said conferences, various campaigns have
been organized primarily in Europe and subsequently in Turkey for the
purpose of gaining support for the requests of constitutional
recognition of the Kurdish identity and the use of Kurdish language as
the language of education. However, the terror organization has not
been able to reach the desired level of participation by the people.

- On the other hand, the terror organization has focused on
re-establishment of the terrorist groups not directly affected by the
security forces and on their armed training in raid, laying ambush and
sabotage. The disagreements arising within the terror organization,
PKK-KPU conflict and escape of nearly five hundred Syrian terrorists
from the terror organization in particular have been the noticeable
problems that the terror organization has faced within the period under
review.

- In the meantime, the defense that head of the terror organization
has developed for his trial lasting in the European Court of Human
Rights has been printed by the terrorist organization in a two-volume
book under the title of "From the Sumerian Monastic State To The
Democratic Republic", accepted as the second manifesto and begun to be
used as a guide document for all activities carried out by the terror
organization and as a basic document in the ideological training of the
terrorist organization's members and supporters.

- The 8th Congress preparations which have lasted for a long time
in accordance with the outline of the said defense of head of the
terrorist organization was held in the Kandil Mountain region in
Northern Iraq on April 04-10, 2002 with the participation of 285
terrorist's 106 of whom were women and 179 men as well as about 100
audiences,

- In the said congress during which the activities the terror

out that;

organizations, and it must undergo restructuring beginning from its
ideology to its lowest-level units, including a change in its
organizational title,

In Cleveland yesterday Bush gave a delusional speech that shows he is
detached from reality. "We're going to help the Iraqis build a strong
democracy that will be an inspiration throughout the Middle East, a
democracy that'll be a partner in the global war against the terrorists."

Has no one told Bush that the Iraqis cannot even agree to form a government?

The day before Bush's delusional Cleveland speech, Iyad Allawi, the former
prime minister of one of our make-believe Iraqi governments, said that in
Iraq the casualty rate from the sectarian strife is so high that "if this is
not civil war, then God knows what civil war is."

The day of Bush's delusional speech, Patrick Cockburn, present on the scene
in Irbil, Iraq, gave a much more truthful account of the situation. Writing
here in CounterPunch, he reported: "Iraq is a country convulsed by fear. It
is at its worst in Baghdad. Sectarian killings are commonplace. . . . The
scale of the violence is such that most of it is unreported. . . . Unseen by
the outside world, silent populations are on the move, frightened people
fleeing neighborhoods where their community is in a minority for safer
districts. There is also a growing reliance on militias because of fears
that police patrols or checkpoints are in reality death squads hunting for
victims."

Not a word of this reality from our delusional president.

The fantasy Iraq that Bush painted was only his warm-up. He went on to tell
his Cleveland audience that American could not be safe unless Iraq was a
democracy. What a weak, pitiful, vulnerable place Bush's America must be.
Unless a small, devastated Middle Eastern country is a democracy, America
cannot be safe. Who in the Cleveland audience could possibly have believed
this utter nonsense.

Bush told his audience that "the security of our country is directly linked
to the liberty of the Iraqi people, and we will settle for nothing less than
victory." What victory is he talking about? Despite the huge sums of dollars
paid by the Bush regime to all the leaders of all the factions, Iraq cannot
form a government.

Without victory, Iraq will be "a safe haven for terrorists to plot new
attacks against our nation." Alas, there were no terrorists in Iraq until
Bush invaded the country and drew them in. The problem our troops face in
Iraq is not terrorists, but resistance fighters, "insurgents" in the Bush
regime's parlance. Democracies lack the dictatorial, extra-legal powers to
suppress terrorists. That is why Bush is destroying civil liberties in the
US. Under Saddam Hussein, there were no terrorists and no insurgents. Bush
is modeling his no habeas corpus, torture prone, all intrusive government on
Saddam Hussein.

The security of Americans has nothing whatsoever to do with Iraq. Iraq
cannot overthrow the US Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the separation of
powers, and American civil liberties. Iraq cannot illegally spy on American
citizens, declare them to be "suspects" and detain them forever without
warrant or charges. Iraq cannot put American critics of the Bush regime on
"no-fly" lists.

The real dangers to Americans reside in the neocon Bush administration. This
delusional warmonger administration believes it has the power and the right
to dictate to Muslim countries their political and social institutions. This
extraordinary arrogance and hubris breeds opposition where there was none.
The world is not going to obey Bush and a handful of stupid neocons.

In his speech Bush told Cleveland that "the decision to remove Saddam
Hussein was a difficult decision." That is a lie. Bush's Treasury Secretary,
Paul O'Neill, and a number of others have reported that Bush came into
office intending to remove Hussein. The head of British intelligence told
the British Cabinet that Bush first decided to go to war and then created
the reasons to justify his aggression against Iraq.

"Before we acted," Bush told his audience, Hussein's "regime was defying
U.N. resolutions calling for it to disarm. It was violating cease-fire
agreements, was firing on American and British pilots which were enforcing
no-fly zones." Gentle reader, think what Bush is saying. As Iraq had no
weapons of mass destruction, a fact that Bush has acknowledged, how could
Iraq possibly have been violating U.N. resolutions calling on it to disarm?

What cease-fire agreements are Bush talking about? It was US and UK planes
that continued to fly over Iraqi territory and bomb Iraqis.

Do you know what Bush means by no-fly zones? He means that US and UK jet
fighters could fly all over Iraq, but if Iraqi planes flew over Iraqi
territory, we would shoot them down.

Where did the US get the right to tell countries that they dare not try to
control their own air space?

Americans need to understand that terrorists are responding to America's
behavior, or misbehavior. The only successful way to stop terrorism is to
alter our behavior. America is not God. It has no right, and it certainly
lacks the power, to impose its will on the world.

The Bush regime cannot lead the world to democracy by tearing democracy down
at home. Not since Abraham Lincoln have American civil liberties been so
threatened as by the Bush regime. America even has an Attorney General, a
Vice President, and a Secretary of Defense who believe in torture. How do
they differ from officials in the Third Reich or Stalin's KGB? Anyone who
believes in torture is not an American. That person is outside our
tradition. Yet, it is people who believe in torture who occupy our highest
offices.

Ismail Haniyeh: "I Never Sent Anyone on a Suicide Mission"

By AMIRA HASS

Hamas leader and Palestinian prime minister-designate Ismail Haniyeh told a
U.S. television station Thursday that he has never personally ordered a
terrorist action against Israel and that he hopes to ultimately reach a
peace deal with Israel.

`I`ve never sent anyone on a suicide mission,` he told CBS News. `If one of
my sons came to me and asked me that, I wouldn`t even consider giving him my
blessing.`

CBS quoted Israeli officials as saying they have no evidence connecting
Haniyeh to any terror attacks. However, Haniyeh is a senior official in
Hamas, which has ordered many terror attacks, is responsible for scores of
Israeli deaths and pledges to destroy Israel.

When asked if he could foresee being invited to the White House to sign a
peace agreement with Israel, Haniyeh responded, `Let`s hope so.`

He told CBS that a renunciation of violence and recognition of Israel`s
right to exist `depends on Israel`s recognition of a Palestinian state
within the boundaries of Gaza, the West Bank, and East Jerusalem.` He said,
`Only then can there be room for talks.`

Hamas to present cabinet to Abbas

Hamas is slated to present its cabinet to Palestinian Authority Chairman
Mahmoud Abbas on Saturday and bring it to the Palestinian parliament for
approval Monday, Hamas representatives in Gaza said Thursday.

The announcement came after talks Thursday with small parliamentary
factions, including the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, Third
Way (headed by former finance minister Salam Fayad), the Alternative List
(Badil, a combination of three small left-wing parties) and Independent
Palestine (headed by Mustafa Barghouti). The Hamas officials said they were
still hoping the factions would agree to join the government.

The factions` apparent refusal to join a Hamas-led government indicates that
the changes Hamas has made to its proposed basic principles of gove! rnment
are insufficient. Hamas has already submitted three draft propo sals to the
factions.

The first draft proposal discussed considering negotiations with Israel only
if the latter first recognizes the rights of the Palestinian people and
guarantees a full withdrawal to 1967 lines.

Fatah has said it cannot join a government that does not accept the
`strategic` principle of negotiating with Israel, and Fayad has said he will
not join a government without Fatah.

Other factions did not insist on negotiations, but wanted the basic
principles to mention the Palestine Liberation Organization and its status
as the representative of the Palestinian people, as well as the
international decisions regarding a resolution of the conflict and a
Palestinian state.

Fatah and Independent Palestine also want a mention of the 1988 PLO`s
declaration of independence, which, like the international decisions, imply
recognition of Israel.

The building was made out of reinforced concrete. The heat generated from
the jet fuel was intense.

Yes, Clinton had signed the Al Gore Bill which lead to downsizing the DOD
which lead to base closures, a contributing factor in the response time.

I lost a good friend in the WTC. To my knowledge there was no controlled
demolition by explosives. When the planes hits the WTC jet fuel pursed down
from the top and when it ignited it created intense heat - the rest is
history. People have a tendency to under estimate what jet fuel will do
under such conditions.

The fact remains - terrorism was a low priority for the Clinton
Administration. They impaired the ability of the FBI and other agencies to
effectively respond to intelligence. 9/11 could have been prevented.

The FBI's top expert on Al Qeada was hired on by the Port Authority and was
killed in the WTC. However, the actual planning to attack the WTC began in
1996. The FBI and CIA was impaired by the Carter and Clinton Executive
Orders which made it almost impossible for the intelligence community to
function. In some cases the FBI and Secret Service had lost almost 90% of
its intelligence capability because of the Carter and Clinton EXO's and that
fact remains undisputed. Prior to 911 it was almost impossible to even get
wire taps.

By JONATHAN COOK

In the looking-glass world of Middle East politics, it is easy to forget
that Ahmad Saadat, the imprisoned Palestinian leader Israel summarily
arrested in Jericho late on Tuesday, is wanted for masterminding the killing
of the Jewish state's most notorious racist politician-general.

Rehavam Zeevi, head of the Central Command in the late 1960s and early
1970s, personally developed and managed Israel's brutal regime in the newly
occupied West Bank. After retiring from the battlefield, he waged a
relentless war against "the Arabs" on the political front. His Moledet
party, founded in the 1980s, advocated the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians
from Greater Israel--in other words, from Israel and the occupied
territories.

His thinking became so acceptable after the outbreak of the intifada that he
was appointed tourism minister in Ariel Sharon's first cabinet. Maybe Sharon
thought that, with Zeevi for company, he really might start to look like a
man of peace.

Zeevi's killing by gunmen in a Jerusalem hotel in 2001 was about as close as
the Palestinians have managed to get to emulating an Israeli-style targeted
assassination--with the difference that, in the Palestinian operation, no
bystanders were killed.

Israelis were, and still are, horrified by the killing of Zeevi, with most
taking the view that the Palestinians broke all the rules of engagement in
targeting an elected politician. That neatly ignores the point that Zeevi's
death was retribution for Israel's earlier assassination of a widely
respected Palestinian politician, Abu Ali Mustafa, the leader of the Popular
Front for the Liberation of Palestine.

But what is sauce for the goose was never going to be sauce for the gander.

Ahmad Saadat, Mustafa's successor and the man blamed by Israel for Zeevi's
killing, raced to the top of the army's wanted list. Under international
pressure, the Palestinian Authority, in the days before it was entirely
dismembered by the Israeli army, arrested him.

To prevent his targeting for assassination by Israel, and in the vain hope
of winning a reprieve for Yasser Arafat from his effective house arrest in
Ramallah, the Palestinian leadership brokered a deal with Britain and the
United States in 2002. The two countries agreed to provide monitors to
guarantee Saadat's confinement in the tiny West Bank town of Jericho, in the
sun-baked lowlands of the Jordan Valley.

Four years later, on Tuesday morning, Britain reneged on its understandings
with the Palestinians and quit Jericho, but not before telling Israel it was
going. As if waiting for its cue, Israeli armour rolled into Jericho at once
to capture Saadat and a handful of other wanted men.

To Palestinians, the British broken promise, as well as the hasty exit from
Jericho and apparent collusion with Israel, all smacked a little too
painfully of other episodes of British foreign policy in the Middle East.
There were echoes of 1956 and London's pact during the Suez Crisis with
Israel on the invasion of Egypt. And there were echoes too of 1948, when
Britain hurriedly abandoned Palestine, though not before it had effectively
fulfilled the Balfour Declaration's promise of creating a Jewish homeland by
allowing hundreds of thousands of Jews to immigrate.

That in large part explains the outpouring of rage from Gaza to Ramallah on
Tuesday, as well as the kidnapping of foreigners. Britain's duplicity was a
reminder--if it was needed--that nothing has changed in a century of Western
"diplomacy".

So what was Britain's defence of its inflammatory action? According to
foreign minister Jack Straw, Britain had no choice but to pull the monitors
out of Jericho because of growing concerns for their safety.

That will have sounded more than hollow to Palestinians. The intifada has
all but passed Jericho by. With a population of about 15,000, it is the
quietest place in the West Bank and Gaza. During the decades of Israeli
occupation it earnt a unflattering reputation as the dumping ground for
small-time collaborators, the ones Israel did not reward with safe haven in
its own territory.

Jericho is a small Palestinian island in a sea of Israeli occupation. Most
of the Jordan Valley has been entirely controlled by Israel for decades.
According to reports in the Hebrew media, Israel is poised to announce the
Valley's annexation sometime after its elections later this month.

Around Jericho itself the Israeli army has dug a deep ditch to prevent all
unauthorised movement in and out of the city. And beyond that is the busy
"settlers' highway" through the occupied Jordan Valley, linking Jerusalem
with the north of Israel, officially known as Gandhi's Road--after Rehavam
Zeevi. He earned the nickname "Gandhi" as a skinny youth in the army.

In fact Jericho has been so peaceful during the intifada that six months
ago, Israel reopened it to tourism, allowing package tours to pass through
the Israeli-manned checkpoint on the only route into the city. I myself have
visited the city on several recent occasions, staying in its hotels and
enjoying their open-all-year swimming pools. What is apparently safe for
tourists and journalists is not safe enough for British officials.

The problem now is that Straw's "concerns" about safety may become
self-fulfilling. A backlash against foreigners is as certain as the attack
on Tuesday against the British Council offices in Gaza. There are few
tourists in the West Bank any longer, particularly since Israel made
entering so difficult with the construction of its wall. But there are still
a significant number of foreigners working for humanitarian organisations.

Their presence is important. Many of the organisations themselves have
become little more than sticking plasters, unable to cope with the festering
sores of Palestinian life under an ever-more restrictive occupation. But
having foreigners living in Ramallah, Nablus and Hebron offers an insurance
policy--even if a small and inadequate one--against more reckless Israeli
army incursions. At the very least, foreigners can bear witness.

There would be nothing worse than the West Bank--after Israel's limited
withdrawals and the completion of its wall--becoming a tiny Palestinian
ghetto-state, one where neither the international media nor aid workers dare
venture. There is also nothing that would satisfy Israel more.

TOPIC: Parable of the Hatchet, The Fallacy of Nation-building in Afghanistan

==============================================================================

From: "DoD"

Nation-building is a term created by people living off Pentagon contracts.
It is one of those queasy political expressions with no hard meaning yet its
use raises few eyebrows. The term sounds as though it means something, and
it is treated as though it were something you might study. At least this is
true in the United States where people are hypnotized by hype and
substance-lacking words, where inflating nothing into something is an
everyday art.

To understand what absurdity the term disguises, conduct a brief
thought-experiment and think about just one aspect of social behavior in
North America and about how long it takes to change. Cigarette smoking was
very stylish fifty years ago, and it has taken all those fifty years,
despite scientific information providing many warnings, to change public
acceptance of smoking.

In 19th century America, chewing tobacco and spitting were obsessions,
observed and recorded by many disturbed European visitors. Spittoons graced
the halls and lobbies of every public building, standing in ripples of warm
brown carpet stains where the efforts of the less skilled were recorded.
Eventually, this hideous practice ended, but it took a very long time.

So how much greater would be the task of altering the most fundamental
attitudes and practices in a society? Could even ten years of costly effort
by thousands hope to make even a small dent in the practices of an ancient
society of twenty million people?

Much of Afghanistan lives as though it were still the 14th century, and this
is the case any place where there has been little economic growth for
centuries, where people grow up doing pretty much exactly what their parents
do.

In Western society of the 14th century, it was perfectly acceptable for men
to go off to war, leaving their mates locked in rude iron "chastity belts"
with padlocks for years at a time. In Western society of the 14th century,
it was common practice among powerful families to contract a 12-year old
girl to marriage. Is the practice of women wearing the bourka in Afghanistan
somehow more primitive than the past customs of Europe?

I take the bourka as an example only because a great many words were spent
both before and after the invasion about the status of women in Iraq. Most
of this was sheer hypocrisy, propaganda aimed at influencing the attitudes
of America's middle class in favor of war. As I've written many times, truth
makes the best propaganda -- it's all a matter of twisting emphasis and
context. Today, outside the city of Kabul, almost all women still wear the
bourka, and it has nothing to do with threats from the Taleban. Even in
Kabul half the women wear it.

The distinction between Kabul and the rest of Afghanistan is important,
because the effective reach of Afghanistan's president has been compared to
that of a Mayor of Kabul. Most people in Afghanistan live under the
effective rule of warlords whose only merit may be that they are opponents
of the Taleban. In every other respect, they are indistinguishable from the
Taleban. They hate seeing women without bourkas. They do not like girls
going to public school. They do not believe in democracy -- who did in
Europe in the 14th century? -- and they reject modern concepts of human
rights.

The warlords, at least some of them, finance their satrapies with the
proceeds of poppy crops, causing an explosion in the world's supply of
high-grade heroin, the Taleban, for all their unpleasant qualities, having
previously ended this trade. The warlords are torturers and murderers, and
their militias are capable of almost any horror you can imagine, some having
conducted mass rapes according to numerous witnesses.

Yet the warlords cannot be removed. They were an integral part of the
American strategy for invading Afghanistan, and they remain pillars of the
existing state. America's strategy consisted of bombing the Taleban and
their supporters while warlord militias did most of the dirty work on the
ground. America sent in thousands of special forces to search the mountains
for Osama bin Laden and remnant Taleban bands, but for the most part they
have been no more successful than the Russians were years ago. They have
been successful in alienating and insulting many villagers with their
tactics of bursting in with guns and grenades firing.

Apart from having killed thousands with bombs and mines, this is pretty much
the sum total of America's achievement in Afghanistan. The Russians actually
had done a better job of making secular changes, especially for women, but
this was ignored in American propaganda to win support for the CIA's costly
mujahideen-proxy war, the war that gave us figures like Osama bin Laden and
led to the eventual rule of the Taleban.

A Canadian officer in Afghanistan recently was gravely injured when a young
man attacked him with a home-made ax. The officer had removed his helmet out
of respect towards the village elders to whom he was talking. The young
Afghan man was immediately killed by other Canadian soldiers. Newspapers
typically reported his age as maybe 20. In fact, it turns out he was only
16. A brief exchange of gun fire with some others who produced weapons then
occurred.

The incident provides something of a parable for the entire misadventure in
Afghanistan. First, the soldier was right to remove his helmet. You can't
get far in a society like Afghanistan without showing respect.

Second, a young man of just 16 was determined to take the life of a
foreigner despite his lack of a suitable weapon and despite the likelihood
of his sacrificing his life.

Third, because it was a small village, there is no possibility that the
elders who were gathered were not aware of the impending assault. They kept
silent and allowed it to happen.

Fourth, one of the reactions to the assault has been for Canadian officials
to re-examine their practices, things like a soldier removing his helmet.
Yet how can they hope to be sympathetically listened to otherwise? The
alternative is to follow America's apish tactics, creating even more bitter
enemies. It is an unavoidable vicious circle.

Canadians and others find themselves in Afghanistan because a brutal
American administration, in the wake of 9/11, instead of using diplomatic
and legal powers to capture Osama and the boys, pressured everyone to
support an invasion. Canada was later able to resist pressure for the even
more pointless and destructive invasion of Iraq. Canadians today are asking
what is the purpose of the mission in Afghanistan. The answers offered
include that empty term, nation-building.

In the last weeks there have been some very serious rumours, probably
originated in Israel, claiming that George W. Bush's latest speech
concerning the need for 'Palestinian reforms' was sent to Jerusalem for
final proofing and corrections not less than twenty-eight times. Whether
this is the case, whether it was twenty-eight times or just seven, whether
it was physically corrected in Jerusalem or just followed some guidelines
that were drawn by the Jewish lobby in Washington, is not the real issue
anymore. It is more than clear that the American administration is
completely biased when it comes to the Israeli-Arab conflict. This very
one-sided approach should be scrutinised.

These days when American policy makers endorse far right nationalistic
views, the US administration reveals itself voluntarily as a major enemy of
world peace, and the American president is searching desperately for new
allies to form a coalition to support his phony 'war against terror', it is
hardly surprising to discover that the Jewish state and Zionists lobbies are
fairly active behind the scenes. It all makes far more sense when you find
out that America's current divorce from humanism is closely associated with
Israeli interests. A brief study of the history of Israel will reveal that
from its very early days Zionism specialised in tracing dark political
motivations and interests in order to abuse them to the very limit. Zionism
is a very singular political method aimed at perfecting the transformation
of world disasters and human pain into Jewish gain.

Already in the first Zionist congress, in Basel (1897), Herzl, the first and
most famous Jewish Zionist, illustrated this method. According to Herzl,
Zionism could promise redemption for the Jewish people as long as it fit
into a larger colonial agenda of any of the greater colonial superpowers.
Herzl himself travelled between the European political centres, promising
full collaboration and support from the Jewish people in exchange for land
in which to locate the Jewish state. This very basic motivation to associate
with the world superpowers is an evident factor throughout the history of
Zionism. Somehow, Zionists always volunteer to serve the colonial interests
of any leading power. This fundamental tendency to join forces with
superpowers led to an internal debate within the Zionist movement concerning
the independence of the whole Zionist adventure. Since Zionism religiously
presents itself as a devoted servant of larger colonial forces, it is not
clear whether Zionism can possess any sense of autonomy.

After the creation of the state of Israel this very question turned into a
political debate. Since the Zionist movement insisted on presenting the
world with the Idea of a Jewish sovereign state, it is clear that many of
the most crucial developments in the history of Israel and Zionism were
influenced by major global changes. Since Israel associates its fate with
major dominating forces there is a growing concern among Zionist politicians
regarding the independence and the autonomy of Israeli decision-making.
Those concerns are well justified. Throughout the history of Israel we can
detect different cases of obvious conflict between Israel and its source of
colonial hegemony.

Fromtime to time, Israel fails to comply with its supporting superpower.
These kinds of conflicts led to the divorce from the British Empire (1947)
and from the French hegemony (before the '67 war). Moreover, more than once
Israel got itself into face to face conflicts with the US. Until now it has
been Israel that had to bow and eventually to accept American views.
Somehow, this time it looks a bit different. For the very first time it
looks as if it is America, the world supreme superpower, that should be
concerned. This time it is America that is about to lose its sovereignty.
Now, it looks as if Zionist lobbies control American foreign politics. After
so many years of independence, the United States of America is becoming a
remote colony of an apparently far greater state, the Jewish state. Yes
Israel, a very small place in the eastern corner of the Mediterranean Sea.
If you try to look for it on your globe at home you will probably need a
magnifying glass.

The idea that Zionists have taken over America might sound bizarre in the
first instance but we must remember that this kind of strange scenario does
happen. Last month I heard Israel Shamir's observation regarding this very
issue. In a very open manner he said that no one would be surprised to hear
that during different phases of the British Empire the world was governed by
a very close group of 'Eton' graduates. "Some times" he added, "great
empires are taken over by very marginal groups". We might have to
acknowledge that this is the case with America. American foreign policy is
dictated by a very marginal group of Zionist activists, even by the state of
Israel itself. Good news for Israel, quite an amazing achievement for a
microscopic state. But is it good news for the American people? Is it good
news for the world?

The history of Zionism provides us with manifold stories of great empires
that were misled in believing that coalition with the Jewish state will
serve their own interests. In the long run those decisions proved to be
unreasonable, irrational and even disastrous. The most famous one is
probably the 'Balfour Declaration' (1917). It was in the midst of WW1 when
the British foreign minister announced the empire's support for turning
Palestine into the "national home for the Jewish people". At the time there
were less than 60.000 Jews in Palestine leaving peacefully among a total
population of 600.000 Arabs.

What led the British Empire to such a strange declaration? What led the
world leading superpower at the time to commit itself to such an
unreasonable affair based on support from a marginal ethnic group (less than
10% of the entire population)?

If there had been some deep colonial strategic or any other rational thought
behind 'Balfour's declaration' they proved to be very misleading. Soon Jews
flood into Palestine. Native Arab Palestinians start to show their severe
dissatisfaction. Conflict becomes inevitable. When Britain tried to repair
Balfour's damage it was too late ('The White Paper' 1939). The Jewish right
wing terrorist and paramilitary resistance were about to teach the mandate
forces a lesson in Yiddisher brutality. From a British point of view, the
alliance with Zionism turned into a disaster. It was 2 years after the 2nd
WW when the Zionist pushed the British colonial forces out of the region. A
very similar pattern of unfortunate thought led both decaying empires
Britain and France to join forces with Israel in the Suez operation (1956).

Following Nasser's nationalisation of the 'Suez Canal Company' both France
and Britain were looking for a military operation that would retrieve
control over the Suez to the west. Clearly, Israel wasn't a part of this
conflict but as an 'obedient servant' of colonial western thought Israel as
usual offered its military assistance for any imperial aggression. As long
as the aggressor promises to inflict pain over its Arab neighbours. The Suez
Operation was launched with an IDF operation on 29 October. Two days later
both Britain and France joined the party. The operation provoked an outraged
American response to the aggressive coalition. On November 9th, less than
ten days after the operation had started, Israel bowed to American pressure
and announced its immediate withdraw from Sinai desert. For Britain and
France this unsuccessful affair symbolised the end of their colonial era.
More than anything else the Suez Operation indicated the loss of European
influence in the region. Again, from a colonial point of view, the
association with Zionism was counter-productive.

The Europeans learnt their lesson; they became very suspicious of Zionist
political affairs. At the same time we have to admit that the Americans have
not yet learned theirs. The American people have not yet seen that a
coalition with Israel puts their life at great risk. The American people
fail to associate September 11th and the hopeless American support of
Zionism. I assume the reason the American people fail to acknowledge such a
straightforward connection can only be due to the fact that Zionist lobbies
have managed to comprehensively dominate the major sources that control
American public opinion: both in culture, in media and in finance. Ted
Turner the owner of CNN, the world's leading TV news network had to go out
of his way to persuade the Zionist lobbies that he was in a mental state
when he 'mistakenly' referred to Israel as a "terrorist state". It is very
apparent that Israel enjoys full protection in the American media. The
question to be asked is who is going to protect the Americans from their
motherland Israel?

While the American people take their time to answer this crucial question we
can stretch our intellectual faculties by contemplating the following
questions. How is it that the great American nation, the world's leading
superpower, has become dominated by a narrow lobby from a miniature foreign
state? Do the American and the Israelis really share the same interests? And
if they do can someone enlighten us as to what those interests are? Are the
American people aware of the fact that their becoming a direct target of
Islamic terror is of prior interest to Israel?

On reflection, it must be terrifying that such a small lobby from a tiny
state is so eager to push the rest of the world into endless confrontation.

Do we really need all this?

Los cubanos de verdad? Te refieres a Ali Baba y los cuarenta ladrones?
Mejor dicho te referias a ese hijo de Don Quijote de La Mancha, con ese
nombre tan cubano como las palmas. Ese nombre que vino con la Ni~na, la
Pinta y la Santa Maria: el nombre sagrado de Yuliesky. No sabias que
fue con ese nombre que fue bautizado el padre de la patria Yuliesky de
Cespedes y tambien el apostol Yuliesky Marti?

Lo que da pena es ver a un extranjero que se cree endiosado a
determinar quien es y quien no es "cubano de verdad". El pueblo de Cuba
entero los escupe a ustedes por ser esbirros extranjeros del tirano.
Ustedes, por odio a los EEUU y por envidia al exilio cubano, aplauden
todas las atrocidades que ha cometido el SATRAPA ASESINO durante esta
pesadilla de 47 a~nos.

Je Je.Los dos millones de cubanos que nos hemos escapado del castro
fascismo no hemos desertado? Se no olvidaba, esos no son "cubanos de

Tu no crees que, entre esos deportistas, por lo menos no hubo UNO que

No. Decimos: Viva Cuba Libre! Abajo la tirania! Pero esos no son
solamente los "cubiches" de la calle ocho, es un pueblo entero que no
se arrodilla ante la hoz ni el martillo. Y no somos solamente los
"cubiches" los que decimes esos, la gran mayoria de los"portorros" que
son nuestros hermanos, dicen lo mismo. Gracias Puerto Rico por tu apoyo
a la causa de la libertad de Cuba.

Para los otros portorros que apoyan a un tirano, les recomiendo que
dejen sus dolares sucios por aca y que se vayan a vivr a Cuba a ganar
$8 dolares al mes. Senecon, no seas tan hipocrita o tan HP, o
posiblemente las dos cosas.

Thats fine, since the women didn't bother to get the men's *consent*
to becoming a willing co-parent, orto become a willing spouse.

Common factor: Lazy women's unilateral choices and actions.

" Her body, her choice... HER *responsibility*. "

Other than CS Agencies...

Then, the taxpayers should get a law passed that states that women
who *cannot* support their chilkdren, shouldn't keep them.

Problem: Solved.

No proof offered ? Fact free claim fails.

Look up " Parental Alienation Syndrome " sometime. Note that its almost
always a mother alienating the kids *from* the dad...

Planet Feminist Earth, where women get NON medical and NON biological
means to void legal parental responsibilities, but men *don't*.

Examples: Legal Abandon Laws ( 46 out of 50 US states ) and Legal
Adopting Out Laws. For *women-only*.

Thanks for playing " I want to prove that Baby Feminists Are STOOPID ! "

Absolutely true, there is really no substitute to good parenting, and
failed parenting can have immediate drastic effects on the children, as
well as cause many social ills.
