In this incredibly Byzantine, serpentine and foul-smelling cauldron of corruption that the U.S./UK political/corporate establishment has become, we need to be very wary of the motives and timing of war profiteering corporate news monopolies like the NYT and the London Times, in releasing bits of the toxic waste--especially when they do in very delayed releases of putridity. We now live in BushWorld: a world of backstabbings, blackmail, murder, mass slaughter, massive thievery, torture, disinformation, and utter lawlessness in official circles, the likes of which we have never seen. We live in a world in which the NYT killed a story of massive, illegal Bushite domestic spying, in the months before the 2004 "election," in order to support the narrative that Bush won. We live in a world in which CBS killed a story of Bush's AWOL in the Texas National Guard for the same reason (and Dan Rather has evidence that CBS execs admitted it--they said it was "in their interest" that Bush stay in power). We live in a world in which the NYT ran story after story of drivel and lies about Iraq WMDs, leading up to the invasion, in support of the Bush narrative that the slaughter of 1.2 million Iraqis was essential to our national security.
A "free press" was supposed to be one of our guarantees against this kind of unfrackingbelievable official corruption. But we have been UTTERLY BETRAYED by the "Fourth Estate," time and again, over the last eight years. And the London Times has been one of the worst. So, what is their motive in supporting Sibel Edmonds NOW?
It's a question we must ask. I have no reason whatever to question Edmonds' motives. She is one of the bravest people in American history. But we have much reason to distrust the London Times. One of their motives, that occurred to me the other day, is to smear and disable Democrats--any of them who have done wrong, and possibly some who have not--now that Democrats are resurgent, and may take over the White House. Bear in mind that many of our Democrats are collusive with Bushites on war profiteering, and they and others have sat back and done nothing, while the Bushites took us off the cliff of fascism, and indeed toward financial ruin and the end of our Constitution and our democracy. (Their collusion on "trade secret" vote counting, by rightwing Bushite corporations, comes to mind--not to mention their collusion on the war.) Many of them do not have clean hands. Yet, none of them would have ever done--or dared to do--what the Bush Junta has done, and it's probably true that a Democratic regime in the White House--even if it's Hillary--will unleash some "truth" activity within the country, and Congress, by untainted, public service-minded Democrats. How to stopgap such activity (and what it might lead to--prosecution)? Answer: smear both sides, now that the Bushites are going out of power?
This is just A GUESS--as to what the London Times' motive MIGHT BE--in suddenly deciding to support a truth-teller. There is something selective, in her disclosures, that suits their fascist/war profiteering purposes in some way.
Another possibility is white-washing, as we saw with the 9/11 Commission (and so many other events!). The truth reaches a "critical mass" point, among the people, and the war profiteers have to deal with it, in some way, to keep the lid on rebellion, and prop up their delusionary narratives--so they permit an "investigation"--but one that comes nowhere near the true truth and that protects the real culprits, and, above all, protects the traitorous, thieving corporate moneyed class ("organized money," as FDR called it) who are behind them.
Possible smear of Democrats is a guess. All I'm saying is this: When a war-collusive, fascist source like the London Times does something like this, we should NOT automatically assume that they somehow "got religion" about their duty to the public as news purveyors. We should assume the opposite--that they have a bad motive. And we need to ask: What could it be?
And this will be true as well, if the 5 billionaire fascist CEOs who control all news and opinion in this country decide to run the story here. What is their motive?
Cuz if we don't, then we are suckers.

The South American connection:
I have a theory about the Dark Lords' protection of Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld (et al) from any serious investigation and prosecution, and it has to do with Drummond Coal, Occidental Petroleum, Exxon Mobile, Bechtel Corp., Chiquita, the World Bank/IMF and other global corporate predators' interests in South America. There is evidence now that Rumsfeld is personally involved in the matter*, and, indeed has Oil War II all mapped out, with focus on the Andes region, where all the oil is, and where leftist governments have been elected, over the last half decade, who think that their oil profits ought to be used to bootstrap South America's vast poor population, and who are strongly allied with each other (i.e., Venezuela, Bolivia, Ecuador and Argentina), and with other leftist governments in the region (Brazil, Uruguay, Nicaragua, and, to some extent, Chile). (Note: big oil find in Argentina, just announced this week.) (Venezuela and Ecuador have big oil reserves; Bolivia big gas reserves.)
It's my theory that the Bushite blackmailers are being blackmailed--that is, they are under some pressure to regain global corporate control in South America, at least in the oil-rich Andes region, before Bush's term is up. See:
"The Smart Way to Beat Tyrants Like Chávez,"
by Donald Rumsfeld, 12/1/07http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/11/30/AR2007113001800.htmlAmong other things, Rumsfeld says that we must get rid of the remaining "checks and balances" in our own government (i.e., that fusty old Congress), in order to "act swiftly" in support of "friends and allies" in South America. Rumsfeld and the Bushites don't have any "friends and allies" in South America, except for the murdering, drug trafficking and highly corrupt government of Colombia, the corrupt "free traders" in Peru, and assorted fascist thugs and coup plotters in Venezuela, Bolivia, Ecuador, Argentina and other countries. So he is talking about "swift" U.S. military intervention in support of fascist coup plotters and their paramilitaries and militias in peaceful and very democratic countries with leftist governments.
It seems nuts, yeah. But when did that ever stop Donald Rumsfeld? Whatever happens, he and his cabal profit from chaos and war. And if they add a few oil acquisitions, and rip South America back open to "free trade" and the World Bank loan sharks, to keep their corporate masters happy, all the better. You wonder why this man is not in jail? And how he has avoided investigation (let alone prosecution), and his cohorts Bush and Cheney have avoided impeachment, prosecution and being strung up from Washington DC lampposts--with a Democratic Congress in power?
I think it's South America. The Dark Lords are pressuring the Democrats (in whatever nice little ways they do that--kneecapping, blackmail, threats against their families?)--to lay off Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld (et al), until they "do" South America--at least get Oil War II started (my guess, first in Bolivia), so that, whatever Democrat gets Diebolded into the White House, is saddled with it. (TWO 'Vietnams,' not just one--actually three including Afghanistan).
And so, the "dogs" of the Abdul Kahn "nuclear Wal-Mart"--and other whistleblowers on monstrous Bushite crimes--are being kept at bay, and held in reserve, and used to blackmail Rumsfeld/Cheney/Bush (et al), to achieve one more global corporate predator goal: destroying the democracy movement in South America, and re-opening South America to rape and ruin. The Bushits have basically "lost" South America, while they pursued their obsession with Mideast Oil (and Far East opium). They have to correct that failure before they leave office.
And, of course, Rumsfeld & Co. are not averse to this goal. But the risks they've taken for the Dark Lords thus far are considerable, and restoring fascist rule in South America might have been put on the back burner (for later instigation by private armies, using the billions of U.S. taxpayer dollars these bastards have stolen in Iraq and squirreled away). I think it's now been front-burnered, and is imminent. There is every sign of it. The motivator--blackmail--is a theory as to why it's so urgent.
