"THIS WAR IS A FRAUD" says the Mirror front page. Too bl**dy right!

No wonder the Mirror's circulation is shooting up.

(Wonderful Channel 4 was the first to point out that the war on Afghanistan is a war about OIL! The rich elite in the US and Britain want to get their hands on the THREE TRILLION dollars worth of oil in Central Asia and pipe it through Afghanistan.

October 25, Channel 4 news explained that "THE GULF WAR WAS LARGELY ABOUT OIL...THIS ONE IS TOO."

No wonder the BBC news is now a total laughing-stock, as people realise their scripts are written by the CIA/Pentagon/New Labour/New Fascists.)

The Mirror's story states "British forces are little more than mercenaries for the hidden agenda of US imperial ambitions...

After three weeks bombing, not a single terrorist implicated in the attacks on America has been caught or killed in Afghanistan...

(The Taliban offered to hand over bin Laden but the US said it was not interested)

American pilots are now destroying mud houses, a hospital, Red Cross warehouses, lorries carrying refugees....

The Taliban is a creation of ...the CIA...

When the Taliban took Kabul in 1962...Taliban leaders were soon invited to Houston, Texas, to be entertained by executives of the oil company Unocal.

A US diplomat said 'The Taliban will probably develop like the Saudis did.' He explained that Afghanistan would become an American oil colony, there would be huge profits for the West, no democracy and the legal persecution of women. 'We can live with that' he said. The deal fell through....

This is no war on terrorism. If it was, the Royal Marines and the SAS would be storming the beaches of Florida, where more CIA funded terrorists, ex-Latin American dictators and torturers are given refuge than anywhere on earth...."

The Mirror is also SPORT: a top class 20 page su
pplement by quality writers.

There's a column about the NET. And Matt Kelly tells us that the top UK searches are

3. Free downloads
2. Sex (Lol. Get it?)
1. (top search)Bin Laden (CIA agent?)

I like the cartoons. Andy Capp and the Perishers are joined by Scorer and a number of others.

The letters are lively. There's a well written attack on Paul McCartney's appearance in new York.

Jonathan Cainer does his horoscopes. Scorpio "You know too much", Aries "The only thing that got damaged was the thing you didn't need".....Cainer impresses many (although the S.Telegraph still has the best horoscopes)

There are 3 great crosswords.

The TV page is well laid out in big print so you can see what's on. There are detailed descriptions of programmes.

Miriam offers sensible advice on problems, whether it's the boozy partner or the fear of anthrax.

Showbiz: there are plenty stories about the rich and famous! Although it would be nice to have fewer appearances by Spice Girls and former Spice Girls.

Sex: Model Niki IS wearing a top, which makes her more alluring. Then there's a kiss and tell story about a private school. Funny what people got up to in the 1960's.

What do I not like? TONY PARSONS and his column. Tony Parsons would better suit the Jerusalem post or Sunday Sport.

A newspaper is mainly about NEWS. So let's look a little more at the Mirror stories.

ANTHRAX.

The BBC's utterly useless and discredited Panorama programme was one long handout from the CIA's devious James Woolsey and friends, who were trying to place the blame for anthrax on the Iraqis. But the Mirror explained the truth. The FBI has said over and over and over that there are NO links between this anthrax and Iraq. The FBI has reported that US Nazi groups are probably behind the anthrax (if it's not the CIA).


PAKISTAN.

The Mirror reports the murders of Christians.
BUT, what it fails to point out is the nature of terror groups in Moslem countries.

I lived in Indonesia. When churches got attacked in Indonesia, people usually blamed dirty tricks by the US trained security agencies. Think I'm joking?

In 1958 a plane bombed a church in Indonesia killing everyone inside. A few days later a plane killed a large number of civilians on their way to church. Then the CIA's luck ran out. CIA pilot Allen Lawrence Pope was shot down and captured while carrying incriminating documents. What was the CIA trying to do? The US policy seemed to be to try to weaken and destabilise and divide the country, so it's oil wealth would be easier to control. Most Moslem 'terror' groups are CIA controlled.

In Pakistan, only about 6% of Pakistanis vote for extremist parties. But the US trained Pakistan secret service called ISI is extreme. According to Jane's intelligence Review, ISI controls the Army of Islam that comprises Al Qaeda and other militant groups who carry out terrorist attacks. Reportedly General Aziz is the boss of the Army of Islam and the controller of all opium cultivation and heroin refining and smuggling from Pakistan and Afghanistan.

And what about OPINION?

The VOICE OF THE MIRROR declares:

"In Kabul, a father and seven of his children are killed as they ate breakfast in their home.

Yet clare Short tells us we shouldn't get so emotional about this kind of thing...

Ms Short is someone who is definitely suffering from a deterioration in her moral fibre.

Another unimpressive spectacle is our Foreign Secretary Jack Straw (friend of mass torturer and murderer Pinochet) who went on TV yesterday to say the Press is suffering from a lack of humility and memory when we raise the alarm bells about what is going on.

What a damn cheek particularly f
rom a party so steeped in a lack of those two qualities itself....

The people of this country remain distinctly unconvinced that bombing the hell out of Kabul will stop...more atrocities."

(In a Channel 4 programme, with an audience chosen to be a typical cross section of the public, approx voted 50% against the war and approx 50% for the war. The numbers of people suspicious of the government grows day by day.)

Conclusion: The Mirror is getting better and better, and although not perfect, it will leave you far more enlightened than if you read the smelly old fascist SUN, so beloved of phoney Blair.

Very good opinion, well written and very topical.
The fighting for Oil is so true, when else do you see American forces go into action in very large numbers other than for oil? Where were they in their masses during the Balkans/Croatia/Yugoslavi a/Macedonia conflicts which are still going on.
