Deception: Pakistan, the United States, and the Secret Trade in Nuclear Weapons

"In President George W. Bush's State of the Union address in 2002, he pinpointed three nuclear hot spots as threats to the free world: Iraq, Iran, and North Korea. What he did not admit was America's role in facilitating the spread of nuclear weapons to these "axis of evil" powers and the critical part played by a key U.S. ally: the Pakistan military government and its front man, the nuclear scientist A. Q. Khan."...seen as a crucial buffer state and ally - first against the Soviet Union in Afghanistan, now in the "war on terror"...building a vast nuclear arsenal in large part with U.S. aid money and selling the technology to countries hostile to the West, while more recently giving shelter to the resurgent Taliban and al-Qaeda." "Deception is the most complete account of Pakistan's clandestine nuclear network as it has extended from Islamabad around the world, and chronicles how Khan's operation, and his ultimate fall from grace, have been part of a much larger deceit. As Levy and Scott-Clark relate, every American administration from Jimmy Carter's to George W. Bush's has condoned Pakistan's nuclear activity - rewriting and destroying evidence provided by U.S. and Western intelligence agencies; lying to Congress and the American people about Pakistan's intentions and capability so that U.S. aid to Pakistan, prohibited to countries illicitly holding nuclear weapons, could be maintained; secretly supplying components and equipment to Pakistan in the full knowledge that they could be used in a nuclear program; even tipping off the Pakistani government about criminal probes into its nuclear program by U.S. agencies." "Deception puts our current standoffs with Iran and North Korea, and the quagmire in Iraq, in a startling new perspective, revealing that the lies about WMD in Iraq could only succeed if the truth about Pakistan was suppressed. And it charts how Pakistan has gone from being an ally to a rogue nation at the epicenter of world instability, and how by papering over the root cause of the nuclear crises that are upon us, the United States has helped usher in a new age of nuclear terror." "Based on hundreds of interviews over the past decade in the United States, Pakistan, India, Israel and the Middle East, Europe, and Southeast Asia, Deception is a masterwork of reportage and dramatic storytelling by two of the world's most resourceful investigative journalists. Urgently important, and offering deep insight into the ways our foreign policy is formulated, it should stimulate debate and command a reexamination of our national priorities."--BOOK JACKET.

Instead, successive U.S. administrations turned a blind eye to Khan’s network in return for short-term favors from Pakistan, first in funneling arms to the mujaheddin combating the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan...

Local Living Economies and Urban Farming, a Public Lecture Series at CMU
1/29/2008 5:00 PM
A four-part lecture series exploring the connections between the food we grow and eat, local markets, the potential for thriving local economies and global social equity will begin in late January and continue, one per month, until April. After the final lecture in April, a public workshop will be held to frame a strategy for developing capacity and collaborations towards creating a sustainable and equitable economy in the Pittsburgh area with a focus on local food systems, related green business and tools for local economic transformation to a local living economy.
This lecture series and the public strategy workshop that will follow will build on information and input gathered through three community-based events that have happened recently: the Green Forum on Vacant Land Revitalization (held at the Pittsburgh Project in November 2006), the first Urban Farming Lecture Series in Spring 2006 (hosted at Carnegie Mellon University and organized by the Urban Farming Initiative) and the Cooperate Pittsburgh Grassroots Forum (held at the Friends Meeting House in Shadyside in May 2007. Look for Grassroots Forum’s Link on www.holisticpittsburgh.com). The co-organizers and co-sponsors of this latest lecture series and workshop include Carnegie Mellon University, Office of the Vice Provost and the Heinz School of Public Policy and Management, the Urban Ecology Collaborative, the Urban Redevelopment Authority, Pennsylvania Association for Sustainable Agriculture, the Penn State Cooperative Ext., Allegheny County, Grow Pittsburgh, the Urban Farming Initiative, the Green Block Farm Project and the Green Bough.
First lecture of series: James Quilligan, American Coordinator for the Global Marshall Plan and Convention on the Global Commons
Speaker Profile: Quilligan has been an analyst and administrator in the field of international development since 1975. He has served as policy advisor and writer for many international politicians and leaders, including Willy Brandt, Jimmy Carter and Tony Blair. Quilligan is currently the managing director of the Centre for Global Negotiations and U.S. Coordinator of the Global Marshall Plan Initiative. These organizations, along with many partners, have launched a multi-stakeholder consultation process that is focused on global development issues, including food security, sustainable agriculture and fair trade. They maintain that bilateral policies based on domestic security interests – such as agricultural subsidies and trade protectionism – are on a collision course with the interests of the global community for multilateral cooperation, justice, sustainability and peace. A draft report is now being created through an interactive Web site, incorporating the wisdom of thousands of global organizations, individuals and
experts. The partners in this consultation network will also be selecting delegates to an international conference in 2010, Convention on the Global Commons, which will reach a consensus on a final plan. (See www.global-commons.org.)

RADIOACTIVE STRONTIUM-90 IN BABY TEETH OF NEW JERSEY CHILDREN
AND THE LINK WITH CANCER: A SPECIAL REPORT
By Joseph J. Mangano, National Coordinator
The Radiation and Public Health Project
Trenton NJ
MaY 19, 2003
unplugsalem.org/radioactive_strontium.htm
...To produce electricity, each reactor must emit relatively low-dose amounts of airborne and liquid radioactivity into the environment. This radioactivity represents over 100 different isotopes only produced in reactors and atomic bombs, including Strontium-89, Strontium-90, Cesium-137, and Iodine-131. Humans ingest them either by inhalation, or through the food chain (after precipitation returns these airborne chemicals to earth).
Each of these 100-plus chemicals has a special biochemical action; iodine seeks out the thyroid gland, strontium clumps to the bone and teeth (like calcium), and cesium is distributed throughout the soft tissues. All are carcinogenic. Each decays at varying rates; for example, Iodine-131 has a half-life of eight days, and remains in the body only a few weeks. Strontium-90 (Sr-90) has a half-life of 28.7 years, and thus remains in bone and teeth for many years.
These chemicals are different from "background" radiation found in nature in cosmic rays and in the earth's surface. Background radiation, while still harmful, contains no chemicals that specifically attack the thyroid gland, bones, or other organs.
Because no nuclear reactor in the U.S. has been ordered since 1978, the current crop of 103 reactors is aging, which presents additional health concerns. As reactors age, their parts are more likely to wear down and malfunction, raising the possibility of higher emissions and increased levels of environmental radioactivity. For example, in March 2002 officials noticed that corrosion from boric acid in the Davis-Besse reactor in Ohio had worn down a steel lid from six inches to three-eighths of an inch...

The Rising Son of the House of JP Morgan.
by Glyn Myerscough 1/15/8
informationclearinghouse.info/article19082.htm
...some of the owners of the US Federal Reserve Bank are powerful foreign investors from old Europe, including, reportedly, partners with giant US banks such as JP Morgan Chase as well as powerful Wall Street firms like Goldman Sachs - a world order banking cartel whose tentacles have profited from every global business activity - and every war - for the last two centuries.
The one attempt in the 20th century to break the power of this de facto-private bank, for this is precisely what the Federal Reserve is - when founded its board comprised 80% private bankers 20% government representatives – failed spectacularly. 44 years ago John F Kennedy attempted to end the Federal Reserve System to eliminate the national debt this ‘so called’ central bank creates by printing money and lending it to government.
On June 4, 1963, presidential order EO 11110 authorised the president to issue currency. Kennedy ordered the US Treasury to print $4 billion worth of "United States Notes" backed incidentally by US bullion reserves, to replace Federal Reserve Notes, which were backed by nothing, so he could end the Federal Reserve System and the control it gave international bankers over the US government and its citizens. Kennedy’s strategy to bring US troops home from Vietnam by the end of 1965, combined with the removal of the Fed’s control of the US money supply would haveb killed the profits of this private bank. Literally as Kennedy’s dollars went into circulation he was assassinated in Dallas.

We Should Start Eating Insects
by Marco Visscher, Ode 1/14/8
http://www.alternet.org/stories/73621/
......meat consumption is rising dramatically. Currently, 70 percent of farmland is being used for meat production. If this trend continues, it will prove unsustainable. Moreover, livestock is the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions, including methane and nitrous oxide...It's quite normal for most of the world. In tropical countries, people don't eat caterpillars, beetle larvae, grasshoppers and termites because they don't have a choice but because they taste good. Plus insects are high in protein and have essential fatty acids and important vitamins. Which is why food programs in developing countries should increase their focus on insects. Currently, vegetable consumption is emphasized, but it's much more efficient to get nutrients from animals...
