Body Armor Profiteer Indicted Iraq  Politics

David Brooks, who made a fortune selling faulty body armor to the Army and Marines, has been indicted. Marine Corps Times:

The former CEO of the nation’s leading supplier of body armor to the U.S. military was indicted Thursday on charges of insider trading, fraud and tax evasion in a scheme that netted him more than $185 million, prosecutors said.

David H. Brooks, 53, the founder and former chief executive of DHB Industries Inc., appeared in federal court on Long Island and was ordered held without bail. His lawyer entered a not-guilty plea. [...]

The charges were outlined in a superseding indictment that also named Sandra Hatfield, 54, the former chief operating officer of DHB. The pair was accused of falsely inflating the value of the inventory of DHB’s top product, the Interceptor vest, to help meet profit margin projections. [...]

Authorities allege the scheme propelled the company’s stock from $2 a share in early 2003 to nearly $20 a share in late 2004. When the pair sold several million DHB shares at that time, Brooks made more than $185 million and Hatfield more than $5 million, according to the U.S. attorney’s office. [...]

Brooks and Hatfield also are accused of failing to report more than $10 million in bonus payments to themselves and other DHB employees to the Internal Revenue Service.

Brooks also is accused of using DHB funds to buy or lease luxury vehicles for himself and family members, and to pay for vacations, jewelry, cosmetic surgery, country club bills and family celebrations.

Prosecutors say he threw lavish bar and bat mitzvahs for his children in which entertainers like Tom Petty, Aerosmith and the Eagles performed.

Brooks, who owns more than 100 horses and races them at harness tracks around the country, also used DHB funds for his private horse racing business, prosecutors said.

At the beginning of the Iraq war, Brooks' company had a monopoly on the production of body armor. The Army and Marines eventually had to recall some 23,000 of his vests. Brooks, surprise, surprise, was a hefty contributor to Republican political campaigns.

Many-Fold Increase In US Airstrikes This Year In Iraq Iraq

They tried this in Vietnam, too. Keep troop deaths down by bombing from the air. Except it doesn't work (never mind the morality of it) in a counterinsurgency war. Too many civilians get killed. USA Today (via Xymphora):

The U.S. military has increased airstrikes in Iraq four-fold [sic] this year, reflecting a steep escalation in combat operations aimed at al-Qaeda and other militants.

Coalition forces launched 1,140 airstrikes in the first nine months of this year compared with 229 in all of last year, according to military statistics.

Airstrikes are up in Afghanistan, too. Coalition planes have made 2,764 bombing runs this year, up from 1,770 last year. The figures don't include strikes by helicopter gunships.

The increasing use of air power also stems from improved accuracy and smaller munitions that allow commanders to launch airstrikes against insurgents who travel in small groups and sometimes hide among civilians. [...]

"We are using air power in lieu of putting extensive forces on the ground," said Air Force Maj. Gen. Allen Peck, commander of the Air Force Doctrine Development and Education Center.

However, increased use of air power raises the chances of killing innocent civilians, said Mark Clodfelter, a professor at the National War College. Winning over the population is key to defeating insurgents.

"You don't want bombing to be a recruiting method for the insurgents," Clodfelter said. [Emphasis added]

The article says a four-fold increase, but their arithmetic's wrong. 1140 versus 229 is a five-fold increase, and that doesn't take into account the fact that the 1140 figure is for only 9 months. Extrapolate that out to a year, and the increase is more than 660%. Clearly, a sea change in tactics, one that is practically a secret here in the US.

Dems Suck, Too Iran  Iraq  Politics

The other day, I got a fund-raising call from the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC). I told the caller I was sick of the Democrats' caving in to Bush on Iraq, Iran, torture, wiretaps, and everything else, and they weren't getting any of my money, and I hung up. What surprised me was how angry I was. I've had it with the Democrats, and I guess I'm angrier than I knew. Chris Floyd is pissed, too:

Outrage follows outrage, surrender follows surrender: Every day the unreality of our political discourse worsens, even as the reality on the ground grows more bitter and uncontainable. As we approach the anniversary of the Democrats' recapture of Congress — an event that was supposed to mark the repudiation of the Bush administration's lawless, blood-soaked enterprise — it is undeniable that the situation is actually worse now than before.

The prospect of a Democratic victory in 2006 was for many people the last, flickering hope that the degradation of the republic could be arrested and reversed within the ordinary bounds of the political system. This was always a fantasy, given the strong bipartisan nature and decades-long cultivation of greed, arrogance and militarism that has now come to its fullest bloom in the Bush administration. But desperation can crack the shell of the most hardened cynic, and no doubt there were few who did not harbor somewhere deep inside at least a small grain of hope against hope that a slap-down at the polls would give the Bush gang pause and confound its worst depredations.

One year on, we can all see how the Democrats have made a mockery of those dreams. Their epic levels of unpopularity are richly deserved. At every step they evoke the remarks of the emperor Tiberius, who, after yet another round of groveling acquiescence from the once-powerful Roman Senate, dismissed them with muttered contempt: "Men fit to be slaves." The record of the present Congress provides copious and irrefutable evidence for this judgment.

After 10 full months of Democratic command in the legislative branch -- 10 full months under the "liberal," "progressive," "antiwar" Democratic leadership -- where are we? The Iraq war, far from being ended or even curtailed, was instead escalated by Bush in the face of popular discontent and establishment unease: the first, and most egregious, Democratic surrender. Bush's illegal spying on Americans was not only not punished, it was formally legitimized by Congress, whose Democratic leaders are now hastening to give their telecom paymasters retroactive immunity for taking part in what they knew to be a massive criminal operation...The Military Commissions Act -- which eviscerated 900 years of habeas corpus, as even Arlen Specter admitted (before slavishly voting for the bill anyway) -- remains on the books, unshaken by the Democrats, despite all the cornpone about "restoring the Constitution" they've dished out for the rubes back home.

And now we stand on the brink of another senseless, useless, baseless war, this time with Iran -- a conflict that, as Juan Cole pointed out on Salon recently, is likely to make the belching hell of Iraq look like a church picnic. Dick Cheney's bellicose outburst Sunday in a speech to the Washington Institute for Near East Studies -- a reprise of many similar war dances he performed in the run-up to the unprovoked invasion of Iraq -- takes us one step closer to this new crime. But Cheney's assertions of Persian perfidy -- all of them unsubstantiated, and in the case of the nuclear program, refuted by the IAEA -- were simply the culmination of a remarkable bipartisan campaign of demonization in which the Democrats have actually taken the public lead, repeatedly castigating the administration for not being "tough enough" on Iran, and repeatedly vowing that "all options are on the table" against the mad mullahs. [...]

The Democrats have already overwhelmingly -- and officially -- accepted the administration's arguments for war against Iran. The first on-the-record embrace came in June, on a 97-0 Senate vote in favor of a saber-rattling resolution from Fightin' Joe Lieberman [that] affirmed as official fact all of the specious, unproven, ever-changing allegations of direct Iranian involvement in attacks on the American forces now occupying Iraq. [...]

But even this was not enough. A few weeks later, there was a new resolution, carefully calibrated to mesh with the all-out propaganda blitz surrounding the appearance of Gen. David Petraeus on Fox News in September. (He also put in an appearance on Capitol Hill, it seems.) Once again, the majority of Senate Democrats voted with the monolithic Republicans for yet another Lieberman-sponsored measure, which effectively if not formally authorized military action against Iran by declaring the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard a "foreign terrorist organization" and tying it to attacks on American soldiers in Iraq. [...]

Even the clueless Joe Biden...gets it. He told George Stephanopoulos Sunday that Bush will seize on the resolutions exactly as predicted: "The president's going to stand there and say ... 'Ladies and gentlemen, as the United States Congress voted, they said these guys are terrorists. I moved against them to save American lives.'"

But Bush is not the only president -- or potential president -- who might seize on the Senate votes. Last week -- just a few days before Cheney's speech -- Hillary Clinton weighed in with a "major policy article" in Foreign Affairs that regurgitated the administration's unproven allegations against Iran as indisputable fact. This too is ominous stuff, coming from a strong front-runner who not only is leading in the opinion polls but is also way out in front among an elite constituency whose support is much more important and decisive than that of the hapless hoi polloi: arms dealers. Clinton has surpassed all candidates -- including the hyper-hawkish Republican hopefuls -- in garnering cash payments from the American weapons industry, the Independent reports. Obviously, these masters of war are not expecting any drop-off in profits if Clinton takes the helm.

And indeed, beyond her "all options" thundering at Iran, Clinton has vowed to do the one thing guaranteed to breed more war, more ruin, more suffering, more "collateral damage," more terrorist blowback: keeping American forces in Iraq, come hell or high water. Clinton's "withdrawal" plan calls for retaining an unspecified number of "specialized units" in Iraq to "fight terrorism," train Iraqi forces and protect other American troops carrying out unspecified activities. Is it any wonder that she's the apple of Lockheed Martin's eye?

But in fact, the "antiwar" plans of the other "liberal" candidates -- the "serious" ones, that is -- are remarkably similar. In other words, the Democrats are promising a permanent (or in the current weasel-word jargon, "enduring") U.S. military presence in Iraq -- which of course has been one of the primary war aims of the Bush administration all along (even before it took office). Credible analysis shows that up to a million people or more have been slaughtered in this ghastly enterprise -- and still the Democrats will not act to end it or, God forbid, try to remove its perpetrators from office. Instead they will keep the red wheel of death rolling toward the ever-vanishing horizon. [...]

[The people] turned to the only serious alternative the system provided: the Democrats. And this is what they got: more war, more torture, more tyranny, more corruption, more lies. [Emphasis added]

The game's rigged. Democrats and Republicans pretend to be different by having different positions on abortion and gay marriage. But on issues of war and peace, military spending, government surveillance, and even torture, they're peas in a pod. Fraternal twins. Coke and Pepsi. An exquisite scam: keep people excited about abortion and gay marriage to make them feel like they have a meaningful choice, then ignore what they want on everything that really matters to the Big Money that drives the system.

What's the difference between Democrats and Republicans? Democrats tell different lies to get elected. A pox on both their houses.

[Thanks, Miles]

Preserving Natural World Both Essential and Feasible, Says Harvard's
 E. O. Wilson

September 7, 2005

BLOOMINGTON, Ill. -- In a speech that was both sobering and optimistic, one of the world’s preeminent biologists, Harvard’s Edward O. Wilson, told the President’s Convocation at Illinois Wesleyan on Wednesday (Sept. 7) that the central problem of the new century is “how to raise the poor to an endurable quality of life, both at home and abroad, while preserving as much of the natural world as possible.”

Wilson said that we are currently passing through what he termed a “bottleneck,” which will come to an end once the world population stabilizes at about 9 billion people and then begins to decline.

As we enter that bottleneck, he said, we have to overcome the rapid rise of per capita consumption in order to get through to what we hope will be a better world than the one we know today.

“This planet, if managed right, can be a paradise for a smaller world population,” said Wilson, who has won both the National Medal of Science and two Pulitzer Prizes.

> Listen to the Convocation Address (Requires RealAudio)

Noting that both the poor and biological diversity happen to be concentrated in developing countries, Wilson said that the solution has to flow from the recognition that each depends upon the other.

“The poor have little chance to improve their lives in a devastated environment,” he said. “Conversely the natural environments where most of biodiversity hangs on cannot survive much longer the press of land-hungry people who have nowhere else to go.”Wilson began his remarks by noting that scientists
have discovered that the biosphere is not only richer in diversity than was ever previously imagined but that it is also declining
at an accelerating rate due to human activity.“If this matter is neglected unduly,” he predicted, “we will lose as many as half the
 species of the world’s plants and animals by the end of the century.”Human activity, Wilson said, is the cause of the huge rise in
 the extinction of species, which is accelerating because the last remnants of ecosystems are being not just reduced but eliminated
 altogether. According to Wilson, many of the species are only now being identified. Earth, he said, is actually a little known planet.

“We have little appreciation for what we are doing as we continue to wipe out ecosystems and species inventories,” he said.
“We are flying blind. Each one of these species is exquisitely well adapted to a particular part of the environment. Some of the
species are millions of years old. They fit together, and each has a unique history of its own.”

In considering what might be done to reverse these trends, Wilson said that the costs are not prohibitive. For instance, he cited
 25 “hotspots,” areas in the world such as forests and coral reefs, which cover just 1.4 percent of the land’s surface but are the
 exclusive homes of 44 percent of the known species of vascular plants and 36 percent of vertebrates.

“At the current time about $6 billion from all sources, most of it from government, is spent annually on conservation,” said Wilson.
“A recent estimate by a team of economists and biologists is that an investment of $28 billion — a single investment — would be
enough to throw a cover of protection over these 25 ‘hotspots.’ If $28 billion seems a large number to save nature, that is only
 one tenth of one percent of the annual gross domestic product of all the countries in the world.”Consequently, Wilson emphasized,
 protecting these critical “hotspots” can be achieved without taking the fortunes of the world or diminishing the quality of life.“The
 resources exist. The technology exists. The cost is not high,” he said. “And the long-term benefits are just beyond calculation.”

              The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism

                      From boingboing.net
                      by Cory Doctorow
Naomi Klein (No Logo) and Alfonso Cuarón and Jonás Cuarón (Children of Men) have created a
short film to accompany her latest book, "The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism,"
whose thesis is that present-day global capitalism took hold when its advocates learned to exploit
 disasters. After a disaster (war, tsunami, terrorist attack), you can push your agenda for worsening
labor conditions, looser regulation, and pocket-lining exercises (Enron, Halliburton) while the reeling,
disaster-struck population of the world has its attention elsewhere.

Klein attributes this technique to Milton Friedman, who is reported to have said that "only a crisis --
 real or perceived -- produces real change." She connects this idea to the fundamental notion
underpinning CIA torture techniques (as reported in CIA interrogation manuals from 1963 and 1983) --
 to produce a state of shock in which the victim is out of control of her faculties, a "suspended animation"
 that can be exploited to get victims to do things that violate their own ethics or beliefs.

The Cuaróns' filmmaking is superb, as is Klein's writing. This is a chilling and powerful 7-minute film,
and it made me want to pick up the book as soon as possible.
                           
                 Do watch the video. I haven't read the book yet but it looks like it'll be pretty good.

the nucleosome code & the middle east

"The pattern is a combination of sequences that makes it easier for the DNA to bend itself and wrap tightly around a nucleosome.
 But the pattern requires only some of the sequences to be present in each nucleosome binding site, so it is not obvious. The
looseness of its requirements is presumably the reason it does not conflict with the genetic code, which also has a little bit of
 redundancy or wiggle room built into it."

Now, don't you think it would be cool if this biological wiggle room could find its way into human political (war)fares?

I was warned about going to Iran last night by a non-american. First time that has happened. Not that I'll be going anyway.
 :-( Just received the offical "no" from the university that tried to sponsor my visit:

"I hope you are well. Thank you for your e.mail. Please note that
unfortunately due to new regulations, visa applications from US citizens needs to be sent to the Foreign Ministry many
months in advance and this was not the case with your application.

I am sorry for this matter and I hope that there will be another chance for you to visit Iran sometime in the future."

I'm bummed but have had plenty of time to adjust to this possibility. :-/

Meanwhile, there's been much energy toward the "unwanted war" in Lebanon which is devastating the national economy and
 hundreds of thousands of people's lives. My friend Yasser sent information a few days ago, including these statistics:

"the recent Israeli war on Lebanon and Gaza has killed more than 400 civilians, injured several thousands, and displaced more
 than 500,000."

Activists at the recent Crossroads conference designed and distributed a petition (which I signed) to end the violence. Here's
 another one: Academics against Israeli Aggression on Lebanon and Gaza. Meanwhile, here are some links for detailed information
 about what it's like from "their" side.

Updates on the Israeli Aggression in Lebanon, a blog reported the headline news from Lebanese television.

Electronic Lebanon, self-described as "publishes news, commentary, analysis, and reference materials about the Israeli-Palestinian
 Conflict from a Palestinian perspective. EI is the leading Palestinian portal for information about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and
 its depiction in the media."

Sanayeh Relief Center in Beirut, affiliated with Lebanon Updates (above) are humanitarians who were all working in Beirut when
this latest round began.

Gizem's father (who hosted me to a spectacular dinner in a well-appointed Turkish apartment) spoke at length about the history
 and politics of the region, emphasizing that humanity has lived here – with and against each other – longer than anyplace else.
 He described the current situation with Iran as "delicate," and suggested I might want to wait. I have no choice now, of course,
 but I wonder if humanity will be able to collectively turn this tide around? Everyone needs to feel safe, at least safe enough
from random explosions, accidental and deliberate early violent death, and such incredible mourning.

I have another suggestion for photographers. Photograph pollution.

Many of us love to photograph nature in all its beauty, but the ugly side
is avoided. We don’t tend to leave home hoping to find a river clogged with
 pollution, though smoke stacks might get a bit more attention from some.
Image by Sand Dragon  http://flickr.com/photos/dailyreunion/93170486/
So get out there and take some photos showing just how much our environment
is suffering. Post them on your blog or flickr (you can even submit them to
 groups like Up in Smoke). Maybe your photo will be the one that leads to
one more polluter being stopped.

Some say that, some groups use toy airplanes as weapons just as we are the country that use Insects , Microbes & Viruses as weapons and stockpile massive amounts ofTHOES WMD (SIMPLY called “over kill”) Death on Earth Units more than required to eliminate all humanity, one example is pay load and delivery systems for thermonuclear weapons the likes of which we have stock piles of trillions of Megga Megga ?

Tunnage and or our so called Smart Bombs which are virtual Hybrid slaves with human mind and eyes guiding its (lethal) pay load to a target it’s a maniacal ROBOTIC suicide bomber and-e think
its ok...
So folks who don’t have our wealth and “Superior “delivery capacity” or Rhetoric technology to create “peace keeper missals”  try a clumsy hybrid alternatives we feel they are clever cunning & crafty advisories worthy of a Democracy Suppository...

Now the question is, is a Robot something with arms and legs mimicking a Saipan or is it a tool we carry or a component we apply to our bodies as a Prosthetic or a weapon we use to defend a space
or all of the above...
Sex toys life size puppets, walk-in vending machines automats for food & a cozie cup of coffee or other automaton concepts or drugs...

Soon we or they will do all of our fighting and why not ad policing might be come over time less
racist and as for war they are on the ground not science fiction tho Perpetual War is a concept in
which human kind as a kind of corporate commodity human society as breeder of expendable components Proto “Blackwater killing machines” or ready made “Neo-Dough Boys” machine not
Sci-Fi...

But Fascist created baby factories and that still is happening today dumbed down true believers
SHOW US YOUR TITS!!...
  Sci-Fi  Sy-Borg hybridized sapiens or drug crazed Assassins of mythical past all a neo crusades march to self fulfilling masturbatory
 fantasy of so called armageddon...While  "we" are actually supplying
China with cheap Oil and ripping off the Arabs for them in the name of Democracy... Prety slick Eah?

Salvador Dali is best known for his unique Surrealistic vision of
the world utilizing fantastic symbols to create magnificent artworks.
The Catalan Master is considered among the great graphic masters of
this century. Created when Dali was at the height of his Surrealist
powers these ten original etchings, each hand-signed by the artist
comprise one of Dali’s most beautiful portfolios. Beautifully coloured
and delicately created, these images depict scenes drawn form ancient
stories and fairy tales traditional in Japanese cultures. Dali’s artistic
effects unite and transform; altering the meaning of the images, their
relationship to each other, and essentially creates new concepts from
the traditional – as always in his own inimitable and unique
Surrealistic style.
