Entraînement au "contrôle des manifestations" en tirant sur la foule depuis des helicoptères... http://story.news.yahoo.com FORT BRAGG, N.C. (Reuters) - President Bush got a first-hand look on Friday at how Army special operations forces break up a mock riot -- complete with anti-American slogans and attack helicopters -- as he prodded Congress to pass his $379 billion defense budget without delay. On a visit to Fort Bragg to rally troops for an expanded war on terrorism, Bush watched an extraordinarily graphic training exercise in the fictional country of "Pineland."
Les régimes totalitaires sont bien connus pour leur manie d'arrêter les journalistes et confisquer ce qu'ils ont pu filmer... WASHINGTON -- Pentagon police on Tuesday detained and handcuffed a Fox News Channel cameraman and confiscated his videotape after he was discovered documenting a traffic stop of an Iranian man along the highway that runs outside the building. http://www.foxnews.com
Un Talisman Energy, Inc qui ne porte pas chance : Dommage qu'ils ne citent pas les autres entreprises installées dans le coin.

This is a class action brought by Plaintiffs on behalf of themselves and other similarly situated non-Muslims, African residents of southern Sudan who have been, and are being, damaged by extrajudicial killing (including murder and summary execution), forced displacement, military bombings and assaults on civilian targets, confiscation and destruction of property, kidnappings, rape and slavery, related to or arising from the oil exploration and extraction activities of Defendants Talisman Energy, Inc. ("Talisman") and the Republic of the Sudan ("Sudan" or the "Government").
It gets messier : Defendants have collaborated in a joint strategy to deploy military forces in a brutal ethnic cleansing campaign against a civilian population based on their ethnicity and/or religion for the purpose of enhancing Defendants' ability to explore and extract oil from areas of southern Sudan by creating a cordon sanitaire surrounding the oil concessions located there. The armed campaign, which is ongoing and has resulted in massive civilian displacement, the burning of villages, churches and crops, and the extrajudicial killing and enslavement of innocent civilians, is possible only through Defendants' collaboration and the Government's utilization of infrastructure, such as roads and airfields, constructed and maintained by Talisman.
Une jolie discussion chez indymedia à propos du "conspirationnisme" http://www.indymedia.org/front.php3 ?article_id=155599&group=webcast dont ce commentaire : Le problème c'est de s'attaquer à la théorie du complot comme un tout : Il y a bien sûr d'un côté des thèses de complots qui sont totalement insensées mais il y a régulièrement des complots bien réels.
The problem with attacking conspiracism : While there are certainly some irrational conspiracy theories out there, the problem with attacking conspiracy theories as a whole is that conspiracies do indeed regularly take place. Witness Watergate, Whitewater, Waco, Iran-Contra, CIA's synthesis of crack and LSD, Bay of Pigs, MK-ULTRA, and so on and so on ad nauseum. Conspiracies go on every day. The trick is distinguishing between the COINTELPRO red herrings and the legitimate conspiracy theories.

(NDLR : raison de plus pour que l'on adopte une attitude la plus prudente possible dans l'étude des ces "conspirations" - nous avions fait des dossiers sans prétention sur cet incroyable affaire MK-Ultra, où l'on soupçonnait la CIA d'implanter des "puces mentales"- terrain bourbeux où l'on peut s'attendre au pire)
