2 This concept of denial is elucidated in the Qur’an, when past peoples have said with regard to revelation: ma hadha illa asaateerul-awwaleen ("This is nothing but stories of the ancients", 46:17). The same dialogue found here in the Qur’an applies to this theory of "the end of history".

8 "The friction or antagonism between the private and the public sphere was intensified from the first by the fact that . . . the State has been living on a revenue which was being produced in the private sphere for private purposes and had to be deflected from these purposes by political force. The theory which construes taxes on the analogy of club dues or of the purchase of the services of, say, a doctor only proves how far removed this part of the social sciences is from scientific habits of mind."

32 Simon Cox presented "Club of Class" on BBC Radio Four (UK) Thursday July 03, 2003 at 02:19 PM. The Bilderberg Group has been called the most exclusive, and secretive club in the world. To be admitted, you have to run a multinational bank, a giant corporation or a country. Since its first meeting in 1953, it has been attended by every British Prime Minister. But until now its very existence has been shrouded in secrecy. Simon Cox investigates the hidden world of the Bilderberg Group. Is it the anti-democratic conspiracy that its critics allege or just a private meeting to help foster global understanding? http://www.thedossier.ukonline.co.uk/audio.htm

38 The 24,000 figure used here is a very conservative estimate. According to estimates, around 6113 to 7830 civilians have been killed in Iraq during the recent US war for occupation (http://www.iraqbodycount.net/). In Afghanistan, a study by New Hampshire professor Marc Herold says 3767 civilians died in the first nine weeks of bombing (Scott MacLeo, "When the body count doesn’t count" Konfrontatie Digital, Newzeland, 17 January 2002). Estimates also suggested US bombs killed at least 3,767 civilians in the first two months alone. (Seumas Milne, "The innocent dead in a coward’s war" the Guardian, December 20, 2001). These figures do not include the thousands upon thousands Taliban and Iraqi troops which were targeted with 15,000 daisey cutter bombs and other such arsenal. More than 800 Taliban were systematically killed during a single incident at Qila-e-Jhangi (Associated Press, Los Angeles Times, Nov. 28, 2001. http://www.wsws.org/articles/2001/nov2001/mass-n29.shtml. Newsweek reported that around 1,000 Taliban prisoners died after they had surrendered to the U.S.-backed Northern Alliance and were in the hands of warlord General Abdul Rashid Dostum (CNN, "U.S. probe mass Taliban ‘suffocations’," August 21, 2002). In the Gulf War I, 300,000-plus Iraqi soldiers exiled in the desert were bombed by U.S. and coalition forces for 39 days (DEB RIECHMANN, Associated Press, "Iraqi military death toll a mystery," Nando Media, 2003. http://www.adn.com/24hour/world/story/845251p-5936488c.html. One cannot even imagine about the total number of people killed altogether because no one is interested in counting.

39 A dialogue between Leslie Stahl and the US Secretary of States at 60 Minutes goes like this: Lesley Stahl on U.S. sanctions against Iraq: "We have heard that a half million children have died. I mean, that’s more children than died in Hiroshima. And, you know, is the price worth it?" Secretary of State Madeleine Albright: "I think this is a very hard choice, but the price—we think the price is worth it." — 60 Minutes (5/12/96). It’s also been cited in the United States in alternative commentary on the September 11 attacks (e.g., Alexander Cockburn, New York Press, 9/26/01). Combined with the fact that nearly every large water treatment plant in the country was attacked during the Gulf War, and seven out of eight dams destroyed, this suggests a deliberate targeting of the Iraqi water supply for "postwar leverage," a concept U.S. government officials admitted was part of military planning in the Gulf War (Washington Post, 6/23/91)...................................
