Editor's Notes:
In the next issue we will cover more on 911 investigative work. The evidences keep rolling in support of conspiracy theories. In this issue, item 1 is an article with breakthrough evidences of US plans for world domination, and the using of Saddam Hussein as an excuse for taking over (or creating inexcusable chaos) in the Middle East. Following the first article are related links that show how the current Saudi regime is folding under the pressure from Washington. Also, check out the Washington Post article again showing how oil is a key issue in the US intentions to attack Iraq. Item 2 features a rare interview with Nelson Mandela speaking out against the US foreign policy. Quite clearly, Mandela states that the US government is a threat to world peace. Item 3 is about two upcoming events involving Dennis Kucinich, a people's summit for peace and future planning for humanity and planet Earth. These events are also linked from the newly updated FlybyNews.com homepage. Please visit, and support critical campaigns for social justice, environmental preservation, and peace. Item 4 is on a political endorsement for Robert Reich to win the Democratic nomination for Governor in tomorrow's election in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. This local race, as many of our issues, have a basis in the interest for regaining democracy in the US. The current Bush regime is impacting every place on Earth. We need to unite strategically with plans, actions, and decisions that can reclaim a direction for a democracy, and peace, and for the well-being for humanity .
1) Secret Blueprint for US Global Domination Revealed!Bush planned Iraq invasion before becoming president, document reveals
Sunday Herald - 15 September 2002
Bush planned Iraq 'regime change' before becoming President
By Neil Mackay
A SECRET blueprint for US global domination reveals that President Bush and his cabinet were planning a premeditated attack on Iraq to secure 'regime change' even before he took power in January 2001.
The blueprint, uncovered by the Sunday Herald, for the creation of a 'global Pax Americana' was drawn up for Dick Cheney (now vice- president), Donald Rumsfeld (defence secretary), Paul Wolfowitz (Rumsfeld's deputy), George W Bush's younger brother Jeb and Lewis Libby (Cheney's chief of staff). The document, entitled Rebuilding America's Defences: Strategies, Forces And Resources For A New Century, was written in September 2000 by the neo-conservative think-tank Project for the New American Century (PNAC).
The plan shows Bush's cabinet intended to take military control of the Gulf region whether or not Saddam Hussein was in power. It says: 'The United States has for decades sought to play a more permanent role in Gulf regional security. While the unresolved conflict with Iraq provides the immediate justification, the need for a substantial American force presence in the Gulf transcends the issue of the regime of Saddam Hussein.'
The PNAC document supports a 'blueprint for maintaining global US pre-eminence, precluding the rise of a great power rival, and shaping the international security order in line with American principles and interests'. This 'American grand strategy' must be advanced for 'as far into the future as possible', the report says. It also calls for the US to 'fight and decisively win multiple, simultaneous major theatre wars' as a 'core mission'.
The report describes American armed forces abroad as 'the cavalry on the new American frontier'. The PNAC blueprint supports an earlier document written by Wolfowitz and Libby that said the US must 'discourage advanced industrial nations from challenging our leadership or even aspiring to a larger regional or global role'.
The PNAC report also:
refers to key allies such as the UK as 'the most effective and efficient means of exercising American global leadership';describes peace-keeping missions as 'demanding American political leadership rather than that of the United Nations';reveals worries in the administration that Europe could rival the USA;says 'even should Saddam pass from the scene' bases in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait will remain permanently - - despite domestic opposition in the Gulf regimes to the stationing of US troops -- as 'Iran may well prove as large a threat to US interests as Iraq has';spotlights China for 'regime change' saying 'it is time to increase the presence of American forces in southeast Asia'. This, it says, may lead to 'American and allied power providing the spur to the process of democratisation in China';calls for the creation of 'US Space Forces', to dominate space, and the total control of cyberspace to prevent 'enemies' using the internet against the US;hints that, despite threatening war against Iraq for developing weapons of mass destruction, the US may consider developing biological weapons -- which the nation has banned -- in decades to come. It says: 'New methods of attack -- electronic, 'non-lethal', biological -- will be more widely available ... combat likely will take place in new dimensions, in space, cyberspace, and perhaps the world of microbes ... advanced forms of biological warfare that can 'target' specific genotypes may transform biological warfare from the realm of terror to a politically useful tool';and pinpoints North Korea, Libya, Syria and Iran as dangerous regimes and says their existence justifies the creation of a 'world-wide command-and-control system'.Tam Dalyell, the Labour MP, father of the House of Commons and one of the leading rebel voices against war with Iraq, said: 'This is garbage from right-wing think-tanks stuffed with chicken-hawks -- men who have never seen the horror of war but are in love with the idea of war. Men like Cheney, who were draft-dodgers in the Vietnam war.
'This is a blueprint for US world domination -- a new world order of their making. These are the thought processes of fantasist Americans who want to control the world. I am appalled that a British Labour Prime Minister should have got into bed with a crew which has this moral standing.'

Saudis shift stance on Iraq, side with USThe Saudi foreign minister, Prince Saud al-Faisal, indicated on September 15, 2002 that the kingdom would allow the US to strike Iraq from Saudi bases. In an apparent shift of policy, he also urged Iraq to move quickly to allow the return of UN weapons inspectors to ward off such an attack. When asked if Saudi bases would be available. "Everybody is obliged to follow through," he said.

2) Nelson Mandela: The U.S. Is a Threat to World PeaceIn a rare interview with Newsweek, the South African demands that George W. Bush win United Nations support before attacking Iraq
Nelson Manedela:
"..The United States has made serious mistakes in the conduct of its foreign affairs, which have had unfortunate repercussions long after the decisions were taken. Unqualified support of the Shah of Iran led directly to the Islamic revolution of 1979. Then the United States chose to arm and finance the [Islamic] mujahedin in Afghanistan instead of supporting and encouraging the moderate wing of the government of Afghanistan. That is what led to the Taliban in Afghanistan. But the most catastrophic action of the United States was to sabotage the decision that was painstakingly stitched together by the United Nations regarding the withdrawal of the Soviet Union from Afghanistan. If you look at those matters, you will come to the conclusion that the attitude of the United States of America is a threat to world peace. Because what [America] is saying is that if you are afraid of a veto in the Security Council, you can go outside and take action and violate the sovereignty of other countries. That is the message they are sending to the world. That must be condemned in the strongest terms.."
Newsweek: "I gather you are particularly concerned about Vice President Cheney?"
"Well, there is no doubt. He opposed the decision to release me from prison [laughs]. The majority of the U.S. Congress was in favor of my release, and he opposed it. But it's not because of that. Quite clearly we are dealing with an arch-conservative in Dick Cheney."

4) Flyby Reich Endorsement What You Do is What You GetThe Massachusetts Primaries for Governor is this Tuesday, September 17. Early on, just before the Democratic Caucuses, Flyby News endorsed Robert Reich, due to his qualifications for the job, his chances for winning, and his sincerity for caring about people struggling with low income, and the environment. Though not as visionary as the venerable Congressman from Ohio, Dennis Kucinich, Flyby News endorses Robert Reich as the best choice in the race for Governor in Massachusetts, and one who, we believe, would best support Kucinich for President in 2004.
A Boston Herald editorial stated: "Even in the rough-and-tumble world of Massachusetts politics - perhaps especially in the rough-and-tumble world of Massachusetts politics - sheer intellectual prowess, the ability to look at old problems with fresh eyes, is a gift beyond measure. Former U.S. Labor Secretary Robert Reich has that gift, and Massachusetts Democrats would be fortunate indeed to have him as their standard-bearer going into the November election. In fact, a November match-up between Reich and the uncontested Republican contender, Mitt Romney, would make this a world-class race for the Corner Office - and a race between two men who have made their mark somewhere other than Beacon Hill. And that's something that appears to be important to voters this year.."
Robert Reich was Secretary of Labor for the Clinton administration. He didn't stay for the second term, unwilling to face another four years of limited contact with his family and frustrated because the Clinton team was moving away from its original goal of narrowing the prosperity gap. In a memoir of his DC years, "Locked in the Cabinet," Reich explained how they gave in to pressure -- to keep unemployment at around six percent in order to keep wages down, inflation at bay and investments profitable. And the Clinton middle line, with the Republican policy, continued to push people off welfare -- though they knew there would be no jobs for many who left. Reich reiterated this in an interview with the Advocate: "There is a dilemma at the core of welfare reform. If there are not jobs, many people are going to be left in the lurch." Reich says he wants to make the working family the center of his politics for Massachusetts.
"Even though the income of the average household increased in the boom years, averages often mask the important details. After all, Shaquille O'Neal and I have an average height of six feet."
-- Robert Reich (on the income gap) in his book, "I'll Be Short."
On other issues, Reich is against the Death Penalty, opposes all forms of discrimination, and promises to fight to pass legislation to legalize marriage for same-sex couples. Also, as Governor, Reich states that one of my highest priorities will be to preserve and protect our environmental heritage. I want to jump-start renewable energy: I support vigorous expansion of the Renewable Energy Trust, and tough and timely regulations to accelerate the Renewable Energy Portfolio Standard."
