THE FUKUSHIMA NUCLEAR DISASTER: IS THIS WHAT REALLY HAPPENED?

Another amazing exposure presented by Northern Truth Seeker. I am posting both this article as well as his, as ever, insightful commentary.

SECRET US-ISRAELI NUKE TRANSFERS LED TO FUKUSHIMA BLASTS (!)

Since the Earthquake/Tsunami of March 16th, 2011, that supposedly triggered the eventual meltdown of 3 nuclear power cores at the nuclear power plant at Fukushima, Japan, there has been much speculation as to what actually occurred that caused the meltdowns in the first place. 
Many crazy and absolutely wild ideas were promoted across the Internet about the cause of the disaster, and the MSM tried to first dismiss the entire accident as being caused by the Tsunami that hit the plant after the earthquake off the coast of Japan.

From the very beginning of this horrific disaster, I and others in the REAL truth movement have had our own doubts about the official government stories and excuses... Including the fact that there was a definitive link between this disaster and the fact that the Israeli Stuxnet virus that somehow shut down the reactor's safety systems.  I personally smelled a rat from the very beginning.

Now, I want to present the following most interesting article that comes from Yoichi Shimatsu, through the Rense website, at
www.rense.com, entitled: "Secret US-Israeli Nuke Transfers Led to Fukushima Blasts". 
It contains some startling and shocking revelations that the Fukushima disaster is definitely not as it seems, and that there is strong evidence that the US and Israel may have had their hands in creating this disaster in the first place!  
Here is that article, and I do have some of my own perspectives and comments to follow:

SECRET US-ISRAELI NUKE TRANSFERS LED TO FUKUSHIMA BLASTS

By Yoichi Shimatsu
October 2, 2011

Sixteen tons and what you get is a nuclear catastrophe. The explosions that rocked the Fukushima No.1 nuclear plant were more powerful than the combustion of hydrogen gas, as claimed by the Tokyo Electric Power Company.

The actual cause of the blasts, according to intelligence sources in Washington, was nuclear fission of Warhead cores illegally taken from America's sole nuclear-weapons assembly facility.

Evaporation in the cooling pools used for spent fuel rods led to the detonation of stored weapons-grade plutonium and uranium.
The facts about clandestine American and Israeli support for Japan's nuclear armament are being suppressed in the biggest official cover-up in recent history.
The timeline of events indicates the theft from America's strategic arsenal was authorized at the highest level under a three-way deal between the Bush-Cheney team, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and Elhud Olmert's government in Tel Aviv.

TOKYO'S STRANGELOVE

 
In early 2007, Vice President Dick Cheney flew to Tokyo with his closest aides. Newspaper editorials noted the secrecy surrounding his visit ~ no press conferences, no handshakes with ordinary folks and, as diplomatic cables suggest, no briefing for U.S. Embassy staffers in Tokyo.

Cheney snubbed Defense Minister Fumio Kyuma, who was shut out of confidential talks. The pretext was his criticism of President George Bush for claiming Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction.

The more immediate concern was that the defense minister might disclose bilateral secrets to the Pentagon. The Joint Chiefs of Staff were sure to oppose White House approval of Japan's nuclear program.
An unannounced reason for Cheney's visit was to promote a quadrilateral alliance in the Asia-Pacific region. The four cornerstones ~ the US, Japan, Australia and India ~ were being called on to contain and confront China and its allies North Korea and Russia. From a Japanese perspective, this grand alliance was flawed by asymmetry: The three adversaries were nuclear powers, while the U.S. was the only one in the Quad group.
To further his own nuclear ambitions, Abe was playing the Russian card. 
As mentioned in a U.S. Embassy cable (dated 9/22), the Yomiuri Shimbun gave top play to this challenge to the White House:
"It was learned yesterday that the government and domestic utility companies have entered final talks with Russia in order to relegate uranium enrichment for use at nuclear power facilities to Atomprom, the state-owned nuclear monopoly."
If Washington refused to accept a nuclear-armed Japan, Tokyo would turn to Moscow.

Since the Liberal Democratic Party selected him as prime minister in September 2006, the hawkish Abe repeatedly called for Japan to move beyond the postwar formula of a strictly defensive posture and non-nuclear principles. 

.
Nixon and Nobusuke

Advocacy of a nuclear-armed Japan arose from his family tradition. His grandfather Nobusuke Kishi nurtured the wartime atomic bomb project and, as postwar prime minister, enacted the civilian nuclear program. His father Shintaro Abe, a former foreign minister, had played the Russian card in the 1980s, sponsoring the Russo-Japan College, run by the Aum Shinrikyo sect (a front for foreign intelligence), to recruit weapons scientists from a collapsing Soviet Union.

The chief obstacle to American acceptance of a nuclear-armed Japan was the Pentagon, where Pearl Harbor and Hiroshima remain as iconic symbols justifying American military supremacy. 

The only feasible channel for bilateral transfers then was through the civilian-run Department of Energy (DoE), which supervises the production of nuclear weapons.

 
CAMP DAVID GO-AHEAD

 
The deal was sealed on Abe's subsequent visit to Washington. Wary of the eavesdropping that led to Richard Nixon's fall from grace, Bush preferred the privacy afforded at Camp David. There, in a rustic lodge on April 27, Bush and Abe huddled for 45 minutes. What transpired has never been revealed, not even in vague outline.

As his Russian card suggested, Abe was shopping for enriched uranium. At 99.9 percent purity, American-made uranium and plutonium is the world's finest nuclear material. The lack of mineral contaminants means that it cannot be traced back to its origin. In contrast, material from Chinese and Russian labs can be identified by impurities introduced during the enrichment process.

Abe has wide knowledge of esoteric technologies. His first job in the early 1980s was as a manager at Kobe Steel. One of the researchers there was astrophysicist Hideo Murai, who adapted Soviet electromagnetic technology to "cold mold" steel. Murai later became chief scientist for the Aum Shinrikyo sect, which recruited Soviet weapons technicians under the program initiated by Abe's father. After entering government service, Abe was posted to the U.S. branch of JETRO (Japan External Trade Organization). 

Its New York offices hosted computers used to crack databases at the Pentagon and major defense contractors to pilfer advanced technology. The hacker team was led by Tokyo University's top gamer, who had been recruited into Aum.

After the Tokyo subway gassing in 1995, Abe distanced himself from his father's Frankenstein cult with a public-relations campaign. Fast forward a dozen years and Abe is at Camp David. After the successful talks with Bush, Abe flew to India to sell Cheney's quadrilateral pact to a Delhi skeptical about a new Cold War.
Presumably, Cheney fulfilled his end of the deal. Soon thereafter Hurricane Katrina struck, wiping away the Abe visit from the public memory.
THE TEXAS JOB

BWXT Pantex, America's nuclear warhead facility, sprawls over 16,000 acres of the Texas Panhandle outside Amarillo. Run by the DoE and Babcock & Wilson, the site also serves as a storage facility for warheads past their expiration date. The 1989 shutdown of Rocky Flats, under community pressure in Colorado, forced the removal of those nuclear stockpiles to Pantex. Security clearances are required to enter since it is an obvious target for would-be nuclear thieves.

In June 2004, a server at the Albuquerque office of the National Nuclear Security System was hacked. 

Personal information and security-clearance data for 11 federal employees and 177 contractors at Pantex were lifted. NNSA did not inform Energy Secretary Samuel Bodman or his deputy Clay Sell until three months after the security breach, indicating investigators suspected an inside job.

While Bush and Abe met at Camp David, 500 unionized security guards at Pantex launched a 45-day strike. Scabs were hired, but many failed to pass the entry exam, according to the Inspector General's office at DoE. The IG report cited witnesses who said: "BWXT officials gave passing grades to some replacement guards even though they actually flunked tests," and "contractor officials gave correct answers to those that failed the tests." 

Although the scene was nearly as comical as the heist in "Ocean's Eleven", Pantex is not some Vegas casino. At stake was nuclear Armageddon.

At an opportune moment during the two-month strike, trucks loaded with warhead cores rolled out of the gates. Some 16 metric tons of nuclear cores packed in caskets were hauled away in refrigerated containers to prevent fission. 

At the port of Houston, the dangerous cargo was loaded aboard vessels operated by an Israeli state-owned shipping line. The radioactive material was detected by port inspector Roland Carnaby, a private contractor working under the federal program to interdict weapons of mass destruction.

The intelligence community is still buzzing about his shooting death. On April 29, 2008, Houston police officers pursued Carnaby on a highway chase and gunned him down. 
His port monitoring contract was later awarded to the Israel-based security firm NICE (Neptune Intelligence Computer Engineering), owned by former Israeli Defense Force officers.
Throughout the Pantex caper, from the data theft to smuggling operation, Bush and Cheney's point man for nuclear issues was DoE Deputy Director Clay Sell, a lawyer born in Amarillo and former aide to Panhandle district Congressman Mac Thornberry. 

Sell served on the Bush-Cheney transition team and became the top adviser to the President on nuclear issues. At DoE, Sell was directly in charge of the U.S. nuclear weapons complex, which includes 17 national laboratories and the Pantex plant. 

(Another alarm bell: Sell was also staff director for the Senate Energy subcommittee under the late Sen. Ted Stevens of Alaska, who died in a 2010 plane crash.)

 
AN ISRAELI DOUBLE-CROSS

 
The nuclear shipments to Japan required a third-party cutout for plausible deniability by the White House. 

Israel acted less like an agent and more like a broker in demanding additional payment from Tokyo, according to intelligence sources. 

Adding injury to insult, the Israelis skimmed off the newer warhead cores for their own arsenal and delivered older ones. 

Since deteriorated cores require enrichment, the Japanese were furious and demanded a refund, which the Israelis refused. 

Tokyo had no recourse since by late 2008 principals Abe had resigned the previous autumn and Bush was a lame duck.

The Japanese nuclear developers, under the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, had no choice but to enrich the uranium cores at Fukushima No.1, a location remote enough to evade detection by nonproliferation inspectors. 

Hitachi and GE had developed a laser extraction process for plutonium, which requires vast amounts of electrical power. This meant one reactor had to make unscheduled runs, as was the case when the March earthquake struck.
Tokyo dealt a slap on the wrist to Tel Aviv by backing Palestinian rights at the UN.
Not to be bullied, the Israeli secret service launched the Stuxnet virus against Japan's nuclear facilities.

Firewalls kept Stuxnet at bay until the Tohoku earthquake.
The seismic activity felled an electricity tower behind Reactor 6. The power cut disrupted the control system, momentarily taking down the firewall. 

As the computer came online again, Stuxnet infiltrated to shut down the back-up generators. During the 20-minute interval between quake and tsunami, the pumps and valves at Fukushima No.1 were immobilized, exposing the turbine rooms to flood damage.

The flow of coolant water into the storage pools ceased, quickening evaporation. Fission of the overheated cores led to blasts and mushroom-clouds. Residents in mountaintop Iitate village overlooking the seaside plant saw plumes of smoke and could "taste the metal" in their throats.

 
GUILTY AS CHARGED

 
The Tohoku earthquake and tsunami were powerful enough to damage
Fukushima No.1.
The natural disaster, however, was vastly amplified by two external factors: release of the Stuxnet virus, which shut down control systems in the critical 20 minutes prior to the tsunami;
and presence of weapons-grade nuclear materials that devastated the nuclear facility and contaminated the entire region.
Of the three parties involved, which bears the greatest guilt? All three are guilty of mass murder, injury and destruction of property on a regional scale, and as such are liable for criminal prosecution and damages under international law and in each respective jurisdiction.
The White House, specifically Bush, Cheney and their co-conspirators in the DoE, hold responsibility for ordering the illegal removal and shipment of warheads without safeguards.
 
The state of Israel is implicated in theft from U.S. strategic stockpiles, fraud and extortion against the Japanese government, and a computer attack against critical infrastructure with deadly consequences, tantamount to an act of war.
 
Prime Minister Abe and his Economy Ministry sourced weapons-grade nuclear material in violation of constitutional law and in reckless disregard of the risks of unregulated storage, enrichment and extraction. Had Abe not requested enriched uranium and plutonium in the first place, the other parties would not now be implicated.
Japan, thus, bears the onus of the crime.
The International Criminal Court has sufficient grounds for taking up a case that involves the health of millions of people in Japan, Canada, the United States, Russia, the Koreas, Mongolia, China and possibly the entire Northern Hemisphere. 

The Fukushima disaster is more than a human-rights charge against a petty dictator; it is a crime against humanity on par with the indictments at the Nuremberg and Tokyo tribunals.
Failure to prosecute is complicity.

If there is a silver lining to every dark cloud, it's that the Tohoku earthquake and tsunami saved the world from even greater folly by halting the drive to World War III.

NTS Notes:  Readers, you really have to ask yourselves the following: 
Why is it that whenever you dig deep into any "terrorist" attack, war, uprising, or Worldwide disaster these days, you find either US, or Israeli, criminal involvement the deeper you go?
Again, there has always been evidence showing Israel involved in the Fukushima disaster due to the actions of their nefarious Stuxnet Virus, and this article only further backs up their criminal involvement with even more accusations.

And now it appears that the US may have been directly involved as well as creating this horrific disaster!
If any of the accusations presented in this article prove to be true, then yes, the US and Israel should be brought up on charges of crimes against humanity in International courts... But I guarantee that due to Jewish total control over most worldwide governing bodies that will never happen...
What is to be done in the meantime? 

People everywhere must be made aware of the truth behind the Fukushima disaster and whether or not they are being subjected to Plutonium poisoning. 

It is better for people everywhere to again hope for the best, but be prepared for the worst!

Definitely more to come......

'LAWS AGAINST WAR CRIMES MUST BE ENFORCED'.

DICK CHENEY COULD FACE ARREST IN VANCOUVER
 "Dick" by Mark Bryan


By Lawyers Against War
 
CIVIL SOCIETY RESPONDS TO DICK CHENEY'S SCHEDULED VANCOUVER APPEARANCE

'LAWS AGAINST WAR CRIMES
MUST BE ENFORCED'

What: Press conference by civil society and local politicians regarding Dick Cheney's upcoming visit to Vancouver.

When: 12:30pm Friday, September 23

Where: W2 Media Cafe (111 W. Hastings, at Abbott)

Who: Statements will be made by Vancouver-Kingsway Member of Parliament Don Davies, Immigration Critic for the Official Opposition, Gail Davidson of Lawyers Against War, and Derrick O'Keefe of the StopWar Coalition and the Canadian Peace Alliance, as well as other spokespeople for civil society groups.

Why: Former U.S. Vice-President Dick Cheney has chosen Vancouver as the first stop outside of the United States for his ongoing book tour.
Local anti-war and human rights activists, and other civil society groups, have organized to demand that the Canadian government, in accordance with both Canadian and international law, arrest Cheney for war crimes including authorizing torture.

Gail Davidson of Lawyers Against War said:
"Cheney is responsible for helping launch an illegal war on Iraq and for authorizing torture ~ Canada's laws against war crimes must be enforced in this case.”
"Canada has very clear laws against war crimes, and is a signatory to myriad international treaties and conventions pertaining to the laws of war, and this is why we are demanding that the Canadian government take action to arrest Dick Cheney when he enters Canada next Monday, September 26 in Vancouver."
Cheney is to be hosted by 'Le Bon Mot' book club, which has an event scheduled for the evening of Sept. 26 at the Vancouver Club.
(ED: “bon mot” translates roughly as “witty” or “good word”)
The StopWar Coalition has called for a protest outside the event (915 W. Hastings, at Hornby), beginning at 5:30p.m. on the 26th.

IN AMERICA THE RULE OF LAW IS VACATED

 BANK FRAUDSTERS, TORTURERS,
AND WAR CRIMINALS RUNNING FREE...


By Dr. Paul Craig Roberts
Posted September 8, 2011

With bank fraudsters, torturers, and war criminals running free, the US Department of Justice (sic) has nothing better to do than to harass the famous Tennessee guitar manufacturer, Gibson http://rt.com/usa/news/gibson-guitar-raid-wood-489/, arrest organic food producers in California http://rt.com/usa/news/food-agents-year-milk/  and send 12 abusive FBI agents armed with assault rifles to bust down yet another wrong door of yet another innocent family, leaving parents, children, and grandmother traumatized.


What law did Gibson Guitar Corp break that caused federal agents to disrupt Gibson’s plants in Nashville and Memphis, seize guitars, cause layoffs, and cost the company $3 million from disrupted operations?

No US law was broken. The feds claim that Gibson broke a law that is on the books in India. 

India has not complained about Gibson or asked for the aid of the US government in enforcing its laws against Gibson. Instead, the feds have taken it upon themselves to both interpret and to enforce on US citizens the laws of India.
The feds claim that Gibson’s use of wood from India in its guitars is illegal, because the wood was not finished by Indian workers.
This must not be India’s interpretation of the law as India allowed the unfinished wood to be exported.
Perhaps the feds are trying to force more layoffs of US workers and their replacement by H-1B foreign workers. Gibson can solve its problem by firing its Tennessee work force and hiring Indian citizens on H-1B work visas. 

(ED: According to court documentation, Gibson’s was advised to move its operations to, of all places, MADAGASCAR!  @ 8:00. Not only that but this law carries over to ALL guitars no matter the age and these instruments can and are seized at customs if the musician tries to take it out of the country!)

In Venice, California, feds spent a year dressed up as hippies purchasing raw goat milk and yogurt from Rawesome Foods and then, decked out in hemp anklets and reeking of patchouli, raided with guns drawn ~ always with guns drawn ~ the organic food shop.

The owner’s crime is that he supplied the normal everyday foods that I grew up on to customers who requested them. For this heinous act, James C. Stewart faces a 13 count indictment and is held on $123,000 bail. 

How did raw milk become a “health threat?” Far more Americans have died from e-coli in fast food hamburgers and from salmonella in mass produced eggs and chicken. Like many of my generation, I was raised on raw milk. 

Mathis Dairy delivered it to the homes in Atlanta. Even decades later a person could purchase Mathis Dairy’s raw milk in Atlanta’s grocery stores. How did supplying an ordinary staple become a crime?

The FBI agents who broke down Gary Adams door in Bellevue, Pennsylvania, claim they were looking for a woman. Why does it take 12 heavily armed FBI agents to apprehend a woman? Are FBI agents that effete? If the feds can never get the address right, how do we know they have the name and gender right? 

I can remember when it only took one policeman to deliver a warrant and to arrest a person, and without gun drawn and without breaking down the door, tasering or shooting the object of arrest. 

It turns out that the FBI agents who broke into the Adams home not only were at the wrong address but also didn’t even have a search warrant had they been at the correct address. 

The practice of sending heavily armed teams into American homes has resulted in many senseless murders of US citizens.

The practice must be halted and SWAT teams disbanded.

SWAT teams have murdered far more innocents than they have dangerous criminals. Hostage situations are rare, and they are best handled without violence. 

Jose Guerena, a US Marine who served two tours in Bush’s Iraq War was murdered in his own home in front of his wife and two small children by a crazed SWAT team, again in the wrong place, who shot him 60 times. 

When his wife told him that there were men sneaking around the house, he picked up his rifle and walked to the kitchen to see what was going on and was gunned down. The hysterical SWAT team fired 71 shots at him without cause. Brave, tough, macho cops out defending the public and murdering war heroes.


I have seen studies that show that police actually commit more acts of violence against the public than do criminals, which raises an interesting question: Are police a greater threat to the public than are criminals? On Yahoo I just searched “police brutality” and up came 4,840,000 results. 

Meanwhile, the real master criminals, such as Dick Cheney, who, if tried for his actions at Nuremberg, would most definitely have been executed as a war criminal, run free. Cheney is all over TV hawking his memoirs. On August 29, interviewed by Jamie Gangel on NBC’s Dateline, Cheney again proudly admitted that he authorized torture, secret prisons, and illegal wiretapping. These are crimes under US and international laws. 

Cheney claims breaking laws against torture is “the right thing to do” if “we had a high-value detainee and that was the only way we can get him to talk.” 

Three questions immediately come to mind that no member of the presstitute media ever asks. The first is, why does Cheney think the office of Vice President, President, or Attorney General has the power to “authorize” breaking a law? Our vaunted “rule of law” disappears if federal officials can authorize breaking laws. 

The second is what high-value detainees is Cheney talking about? Donald Rumsfeld declared the Guantanamo detainees to be “the most dangerous, best-trained, vicious killers on the face of the earth.” 

 
But the vast majority had to be released when it turned out, after years of their lives were spent in a torture prison, that the vast majority of the detainees were hapless innocents who were sold to the stupid Americans by war lords as “terrorists” for bounties. 

To save face, the US government has held on to a few detainees, but hasn’t enough confidence in their alleged guilt to put them on trial in a court of law. 

The third is why does Cheney think that he knows better than the accumulated documented evidence that torture doesn’t produce truthful or useful information. If the person under torture is actually a terrorist, he knows that his tormentors don’t know the answers that they are looking for and so he or she can tell the torturers whatever serves the tortured victim’s purposes. If the person under torture is innocent, he has no idea what the answers are and seeks to discover what his torturer wants to hear so that he can tell him. 

As Glenn Greenwald makes clear, Dick Cheney, who presided “over policies that left hundreds of thousands of innocent people dead from wars of aggression, constructed a worldwide torture regime, and spied on Americans without the warrants required by law” is now being feted and enriched thanks to “the protective shield of immunity bestowed upon him by the current administration.” 

 
Meanwhile Gibson Guitar faces prosecution because of the feds’ off-the-wall interpretation of a law in India, and the owner of Rawesome has a 13-count indictment for supplying customers with a food staple that was a part of the normal diet from colonial times until recently. 

In America we have the rule of law ~ only the law is not applied to banksters and members of the executive branch but, as Greenwald says, is only applied to “ordinary citizens and other nations’ (unfriendly) rulers.” 

A country this utterly corrupt
is certainly no “light unto the world.”

DICK CHENEY: ONE YEAR AS A WALKING ZOMBIE

 New World Order:
“…and they shall live forever with the aid of advanced technology…”


Who woulda thunk Cheney even HAD a heart?!!! Most of the world populace might have trouble believing it!

I read that this heart doesn’t work right, how metaphorically accurate ~ uhm, could we claim that it is an ironic metaphor that it is not functioning properly?

TRANSUMANISM, according to Wikipedia: 
“an international intellectual and cultural movement that affirms the possibility and desirability of fundamentally transforming the human condition by developing and making widely available technologies to eliminate aging and to greatly enhance human intellectual, physical, and psychological capacities.”
What we see here with Cheney is subtle pushing of the transhumanism movement. Cheney's heart system is a complete replacement for what was once a body part. Replaced with a machine ~ futuristic transhumanism at its worst when it is applied to such creatures as this. Just bringing this possibility to the eye of the public consciousness is all that it need do. For now. 

Paul Watson used the wrong word to describe Mr. Cheney. The word “zombie” would define someone who is a brainwashed koolaid drinker, at the bottom of the social pyramid. I think android, cyborg or even serpent would have been better words to use.

Cheney is the embodiment of pure evil

And people still think reptilians aren’t real!!

(Sorry! It HAD to be said!))
 
 
Former VP marks anniversary as member of the living dead

Paul Joseph Watson & Alex Jones
Prison Planet.com
August 29, 2011

Although the debate still rages as to whether or not he had a pulse to begin with, torture-approving, wiretap-loving former Vice-President Dick Cheney recently marked one year as a member of the living dead.


In July last year, Cheney had a ventricular assist device implanted in his body which “leaves most recipients without a pulse because it pushes blood continuously instead of mimicking the heart’s own pulsatile beat.

During an interview aired this morning on MSNBC, Cheney frightened reporter Jamie Gangel with his ‘Dawn of the Dead’ style antics, removing the battery from his heart pump before it started beeping.

Cheney has survived as a zombie long enough to finalize and promote his new memoir, My Time, in which he unapologetically re-affirms his support for torture, the invasion of Iraq, and warrantless wiretapping.

The former VP’s arrogance has not lessened with age or ill health. The book fails to even admit a single “mistake” in the prosecution of the Iraq war, which still remains unfinished over eight years later and was based on a cocktail of lies and deceit.

“Five hundred and sixty five pages and a simple apology would have been in order in some of them,” writes conservative columnist George Will. “Which is to say, the great fact of those eight years is we went to war ~ big war, costly war ~ under false pretenses. And…to write a memoir in which you say essentially nothing seriously went wrong…if I wrote a memoir of my last week, I would have things to apologize for.”

The book has also provided neo-cons with yet another opportunity to make absolute morons out of themselves by still clinging to the fable that the invasion of Iraq was based on some noble necessity and that the justification for it just got muddled in the process.

“The notion that Cheney owes us an apology is interesting,” writes James Joyner. “It depends entirely on whether the Bush administration took us to war knowing Saddam did not have a nuclear weapons program or simply downplayed evidence casting doubt in order to make the case for war they genuinely believed was necessary.”

Joyner fails to mention the fact that Cheney and Bush considered deliberately faking a pretext on which to launch the war after the WMD hoax began to crumble. As the Downing Street Memo revealed, the Bush administration discussed staging a provocation by painting a US spy plane in UN colors and flying it over Iraq, in the hope that Saddam Hussein would order it shot down.

A picture of Cheney’s ventricular assist device can be viewed below. Rumors that his diet now solely consists of human brains have yet to be confirmed.

Paul Joseph Watson is the editor and writer for Prison Planet.com. He is the author of Order Out Of Chaos. Watson is also a regular fill-in host for The Alex Jones Show.

I got carried away. 
Found a cache of old Cheney images. 
They all apply. 
Someone pull his plug please.
 

In his crude fashion, Cheney is quoted as saying, 
"That is why they call it DICK, fellas."
