- Obama Berlin Site Spattered With Red Paint as Man Breaches Security

By Patrick Donahue
July 23 (Bloomberg) -- A motorist veered into a security zone at Berlin's Victory Column and spattered red paint in an area that had been blocked off to prepare for U.S. presidential candidate Barack Obama's speech there tomorrow, police said.
The 40-year-old German man from the southwestern state of Baden-Wuerttemberg, driving a black Daihatsu, circled the fluted column in the center of the German capital's Tiergarten before driving into the area, police spokesman Martin Otter said today.
The unidentified assailant, who was seized by security guards and handed over to police, is in custody and authorities are investigating the incident, Otter said in a phone interview. Police doubt the man possessed explosive material, he said, referring to a report by Deutsche Presse-Agentur that signs of explosives were initially detected.

Is Obama the 'Antiwar Candidate'?
Barack Obama's schedule and statements in the Middle East make clear his determination to court Israeli opinion, writes David Hearst

When a US presidential candidate arrives in town, there is only one question on every Israeli's mind: how good a friend to Israel will this man be? Eager to answer this question, Barack Obama said: "Let me be absolutely clear. Israel is a strong friend of Israel's." That much is of course beyond dispute - his aides said he had intended to say the United States.
The bungled statement was an early sign of his nerves on a trip where every phrase he utters will be linguistically x-rayed for incipient signs of bias. Mr Obama had every right to be nervous.
Just yards from the King David hotel where Mr Obama was due to stay, a Palestinian driver of a bulldozer went on the rampage injuring 16 Israeli civilians, one seriously, before being shot dead by a civilian and a policeman. It was the second time in three weeks that an attack had been launched by Palestinian resident of East Jerusalem with a blue identity card, which gives the holder virtually all the rights of an Israeli citizen except the right to vote.

COINTELPRO Comes to My Town
Posted July 20, 2008
Finally, at long last, I have something in common with Muhammad Ali.
No, I'm not the heavyweight champion of the world, and haven't been named spokesperson for Raid bug spray. Like "the Greatest" - not to mention far too many others -- I have been a target of state police surveillance for activities -- in my case against the death penalty -- that were legal, non-violent, and, so we assumed, constitutionally protected. In classified reports compiled by the Maryland State Police and the Department of Homeland Security, I am "Dave Z." This nickname was given by an undercover agent known to us as "Lucy." She sat in our meetings of the Campaign to End the Death Penalty, smiling and engaged, taking copious notes about actions deemed threatening by the Governor of Maryland, Robert Ehrlich. Our seditious crimes, as Lucy reported, involved such acts as planning to set up a table at the local farmer's market and writing up a petition. Adding a dash of farce to this outrage, she was monitoring us in the liberal enclave of Takoma Park, Maryland, a place known more for vegans than violence, more for tie-dying than terrorism.
Thanks to the Freedom of Information Act and the ACLU, we now know that "Lucy" was only one part of a vast, insidious project. The Maryland State Police's Department of Homeland Security devoted near 300 hours and thousands of taxpayer dollars from 2005 and 2006 to harassing people whose only crime was dissenting on the question of the war in Iraq and Maryland's use of death row.

A United Front to Oppose Militarism
Peter Chamberlin
We will not sever the umbilical cord connecting America to the Zionist state by mere words.
If the people of this country cannot be convinced to take to the streets by the thousands then no other force on earth will deflect the coming storm that is sure to precede Bush’s exit. Nothing can convince me that W and Dickhead will go silently into the night, without unleashing hell on earth upon the Middle East region and economic collapse and the ensuing martial law upon this country.
When the bottom falls-out, the angry mobs will have to know who to blame. We already know who to blame!
I am still pushing the idea of nationwide protests targeting Israeli interests throughout this country. I am talking to people in other countries about getting them to join-in.

Darcy Burner: Threatened by AIPAC, now her house burns down.
by PinebarkTue Jul 01, 2008 at 04:12:49 PM PDT
The home of Eighth Congressional District candidate Darcy Burner went up in flames today – cause unknown.
We’ll be watching the subsequent investigation closely. Remember that Burner told Matt Stoller that on June 27, she received a call from people affiliated with AIPAC and they told her to distance herself from J Street, the new pro-peace group that the AIPAC people said are full of radical leftists who support capitulation to Arabs who would destroy Israel.

- Iranians Float an Offer the West Should Not Refuse: Will Anti-War Forces Seize this Opportunity?
-

by Muriel Mirak-Weissbach (source: Global Research)
Tuesday, July 1, 2008
If there were any substance to Condi Rice's repeated assertions, that the strife over Iran's nuclear program could, and preferably should, be solved through diplomatic means, then one would expect the U.S. Secretary of State to seize on recent offers made by Iranian figures, designed to facilitate the start of talks. Although widely ignored in the international press, highly significant statements were made at an international conference in Berlin June 24-25, by two authoritative Iranian spokesmen, one an academic, the other a political leader and brother of the new Majlis (Parliament) speaker Ali Larijani. Both said explicitly that Tehran would be willing to freeze its uranium enrichment, and to provide for concrete mechanisms to guarantee that its enrichment program would not, and could not, be geared to weapons production.
Instead of acknowledging these ostentatious gestures of good will, the U.S. surged ahead with new legislation to introduce yet more sanctions against Iran, which are clearly designed to prepare a military aggression, and the European Union kicked in with its own new punitive sanctions.(1) At the same time, military consultations between Washington and Tel Aviv about Iran have gained in frequency and intensity, and the rhetoric from U.S. and Israeli leaders threatening war has reached such a fever pitch as to send oil prices into the stratosphere.(2)
Can war be averted, even at this late hour? Hopefully, it can. Clearly, if the Anglo-American war party in Washington and Tel Aviv has already decided to proceed with their "final solution" to the Iran problem, before the Cheney-Bush junta is forced to leave the White House, there is little hope that these new overtures made by Iran will have any effect. But at the same time, this gives all the more reason for those of us committed to prevent a new catastrophe in the Persian Gulf/Middle East to mobilize political forces to call the bluff on the war party, and demand that Tehran's newly articulated ideas about how the conflict may be peacefully resolved, be taken up in political fora and in the international press. On that basis, serious, unprejudiced discussions must begin right away. Among the key political forces to be mobilized are Russia and China, veto-holding powers in the U.N. Security Council, who know that aggression against Iran is to be seen as merely the stepping-stone to future aggression against both sovereign nations. The issue should also be prominently thrust into the forefront of the ongoing election campaigns in the United States. Where do Barack Obama and John McCain stand on these new Iranian offers?

J’ACCUSE! - THE DREYFUS AFFAIR
George Galloway MP has just sent the following letter to the Home Secretary, concerning the actions of a police agent provocateur, who has been identified as Inspector Chris Dreyfus, at the anti-Bush demonstration.
To Rt Hon Jacqui Smith
Home Secretary
Urgent
Dear Home Secretary,
As you may be aware I wrote to Sir Ian Blair and Mayor Johnson calling for an inquiry into the policing of the demonstration against George W Bush on Sunday 15 June in Parliament Square/Whitehall. I enclose a copy of my letter to him. I should say I have since been visited by Superintendent Tim Jackson and have given him an account of the basis of my original complaint.
I did tell him, however, that subsequent newspaper revelations may indicate a far more sinister involvement of the police in actual law-breaking on the demonstration which sought to provoke exactly the ugly scenes which eventually ensued.

You have a problem with that? Deal with it. You shoot them. You call them traitors, that’s what they are, and you shoot them dead. I’ll pay for the bullets.”
Reagan adds, “How about you take Mark Dice out and put him in the middle of a firing range. Tie him to a post, don’t blindfold him, let it rip and have some fun with Mark Dice.”

John McCain
By Juliet Eilperin
It might have taken Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) a while to figure out how to deal with hecklers, but he seems to have nearly mastered it at this point.
Just minutes after the presumptive GOP nominee began speaking at the National Federation of Independent Business and eBay 2008 National Small Business Summit today here in the District, a protester stood up in the audience and began screaming "War is bad for small business!" As security officers hauled the woman away, McCain started riffing on how the incident highlighted the need for a more civil political debate this year.
"One of the things Americans are tired of, one of the things they're tired of is people yelling at each other in America, have you noticed that?" he said, to loud applause. "They want us to respect each other's opinions.... Americans want a dialogue."
