Lord  Conrad Black    Richard Perle Hollinger International: Former Co-Chairman

For the Full Profile on Richard Perle click here for Right Wing Online
http://rightweb.irc-online.org/profile/1315

Richard Perle is widely considered a core representative of the neoconservative political faction; he played a central role in championing the war in Iraq and an aggressive war on terror centered on the Middle East in the wake of 9/11. Once dubbed the “Prince of Darkness” because of his advocacy of extremely hawkish anti-Soviet policies while in Ronald Reagan's Department of Defense, Perle's former post as chairman of then-Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld' s Defense Policy Board (DPB) in the years leading up to the Iraq War gave him a privileged perch from which he helped shape Bush administration foreign policies.

Echoing the efforts of the Project for the New American Century (PNAC), a leading neoconservative advocacy group with which Perle was closely associated, and former Pentagon number two Paul Wolfowitz, who was the most vocal administration proponent for attacking Iraq in the immediate aftermath of 9/11, Perle convened a meeting of the DPB shortly after the attacks to produce policy alternatives for the administration. Perle invited as a guest to the classified meeting Ahmed Chalabi, the Iraqi exile who was a longtime confidant of Perle's and served as the head of the Iraqi National Congress, which had for years been pushing for regime change in Iraq. Commenting on this apparent coordination in and outside the administration, Jim Lobe and Michael Flynn wrote: “It appears that after 9/11, the network of hawks and neoconservatives that had coalesced around PNAC's founding agenda had mobilized in a highly coordinated way to fashion the administration's response to the terrorist attacks and rally the public behind their new agenda” (see “The Rise and Decline of the Neoconservatives,” Right Web Analysis, November 17, 2006).

    Lord Black of Crossharbour
    Conrad Black, the former press baron jailed for 15 years for fraud, makes the front pages of most papers. His rise and fall is summed up in the Independent ...

    Black found guilty of criminal fraud
    Fri Jul 13,CHICAGO (Reuters) - A U.S. jury on Friday found Conrad Black guilty of criminal fraud and obstruction of justice in a grim Friday the 13th verdict that could send the former media baron to jail for up to 35 years.

    Conrad M. Black [was] Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Operating Officer ofHollinger International Inc.. He is a member of the Board of Directors for the Nixon Center.

    He is known politically for his staunch criticism of the Liberal Party of Canada.

    The issue of whether Black could accept a title in Britain was the most notable battle between Black and Canadian Prime MinisterJean Chretien- Canadian citizens cannot accept such titles without giving up citizenship and Chretien would not make exceptions. The National which had been launched by Black was not financially successful, and was sold to the CanWest chain then owned by Israel Asper.

    Maude Barlow, the chair of the Council of Canadians [QUERY: still current?]is cited by Leiterman stating Black is known to "routinely intervene in editorial policy-making". [1]

    Leiterman also cites Radler, Hollinger's president, as telling Maclean's (2/3/92): "If editors disagree with us they should disagree with us when they're no longer in our employ. The buck stops with ownership. I am responsible for meeting the payroll; therefore I will ultimately determine what the papers say and how they're going to be run." [2]

    Hollinger also owns the Jerusalem Post. In September 2003 that newspaper advocated killingYasser Arafat. This was quickly raised by the Israeli Cabinet, but described byColin L. Powell, Condoleeza Riceas "unhelpful" and by The Economist as "wrong".

    Israel has no law against foreign press ownership.

    Black found guilty of criminal fraud
    Fri Jul 13,CHICAGO (Reuters) - A U.S. jury on Friday found Conrad Black guilty of criminal fraud and obstruction of justice in a grim Friday the 13th verdict that could send the former media baron to jail for up to 35 years.

    AB-CNN-AP-60Minutes-Australia-VideoNews

    A seventy year old Australian Venture Capital Company Chapmans Limited (ASX code-CHP)
    which has been listed on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX) since about 1970 announces purchase of 10% of

    COMMUNITY FINANCIAL SERVICES GROUP PTY LTD
    trading as Smart Ventures
    The Australian Stock Market reacted positively to the news by pushing Chapmans shares up by 60% over a two day heavy trading session

    READERS COMMENT FROM Bill Manors of New York
    It sounds like from reading the 
    wwwsmartventures.com.au web site the owners being 
    COMMUNITY FINANCIAL SERVICES GROUP Pty Ltd trading as Smart Ventures that Smart Ventures owns billions of worth of business
    and real etsate deals all over the world, this makes a great deal for Chapmans Limited.
     Well done Borris Ganke and Dan Lanskey,
    the masterminds behind putting the deal together for Chapmans Limited.

     Such positiove news that Chapmans now owns 10% of a company that seems to be worth over one billion dollars, would give Chapmans an extra $100 million added to their balance sheet.
    With only 100 milion issued shares in Chapmans, this should make the Chapmans shares valued at over $1 a share from their current trading price of around 2-3c a share.
    It seems like Chapmans managing director, Borris Ganke, known in business circles as "THE OLD FOX", well known for his ability to get shares moving in the right direction-upwards of course, as he did with Offshore Oil and Poisden, during the Australian mining boom of the 1960's , is up to his old tricks again and turning Chapmans Limited into another Poisden for Chapmans share holders, with a potential rise from 2-3c to over $1 a share.
    Good luck and congradulations to those shareholders who had faith in Borris Ganke and his right hand man and new personal business advisor Dan Lanskey, who they say Mr Ganke will not move on any business deal without consulting Mr lanskey first.
    In fact I have many business friends in Sydney Australia, where Chapmans Limited has it's head office, and they say Mr Ganke is never seen without Dan Lanskey from 8am to about 12pm when they finally are seen leaving the Chapmans office in Elizebeth Street Sydney, after spending another long day plotting Chapman's next take over and business moves.
    No one can say they do not earn their money as the main managers and driving force behind Chapmans Limited.
    They certainly deserve the recognition and success that Chapmans Limited and its shareholders are about to enjoy.
    Again, well done boys, I have been a faithful shareholder of Chapmans for a long time after my business friends in Sydney recommended it just because they said Borris Ganke will eventually make someting happen with the company, and have seen the shares go between 2c and 50c, now finally they are set to move to over the $1 a share mark. 
    I certianly will not be selling then, as there is no doubt in my mind that when Chapmans lists on the London Stock Exchange next year, they will be over one English Pound a share, which is around $Aust2.50 a share with the current English Pound to Australian Dollar exchange rate.

    Smart Ventures are not the only company interested in Chapmans Limited. International News Limited based in the USA, is apparently looking at a take over bid for Chapmans to use to head their expansion into the Australian media market with a hard copy Australia wide weekend newspaper called the Australian Weekend News and online real estate and business sales web sites in Australian and New Zealand called           www.yahoorealestate.com.au and
                         
    www.yahoorealestate.co.nz 
    to take on   www.realestate.com.au

    which is said in the industry to be worth a few billion dollars, because of the very profitable advertising revenue it earns each year from real estate and business for sale advertising. Both groups are keen to take over Chapmans for a number of reasons, which includes the fact that, as Chapmans has been listed on the Australian Stock Exchange since about 1970, it will be easy to have the company listed on the Alternative Investment Market (AIM), which is effectively the second board of the London Stock Exchange. This move will open up the opportunity and interest for European, United Kingdom and USA investors and large superanuation, insurance and mutual funds to invest in Chapmans Limited, which now has interests in a diverse range of industries listed in the Smart Ventures portfolio, and the interesting investments Chapmans have already made in mobile phone accessories, mining, real estate and an Irish based new roofing system called New-Lock , as well as the media.
    Brett Goldsworthy the CEO of Smart Ventures seems excited about what appears to be effectively a merger of two venture capital type companies.
    Another USA based media company called the USA Weekly News Limited has just last week purchased 10% of the issued shares in Chapmans Limited, and is making noises of purchasing another 9%, which will bring their shareholding just under the 20% mark. It is understood negotiations are going on at present with some of the of the other large shareholders of Chapmans to purchase these extra 9% off market, so that the share price on the market will not increase too much in case they want to make a formal take over bid in the near future.
    If the USA Weekly News Limited purchases 20% or more of the stock it will be forced to make a take over bid for Chapmans. From investigations done by INL, this is also on the cards.
    Watch this space for further developments.
    It is INL's understanding that on the 26th of April 2007 the general manager of Chapmans, Dan Lansky with the managing director of Chapmans Borris Ganke, brokered and signed the deal for Chapmans to buy 10% of Brett Goldswothy's, Smart Ventures which describes itself on Smart Venture's web site
    www.smartventures.com.au the following way

    Objective
    To accelerate small market cap companies into the global market place by providing innovative solutions and services to growing companies in the small to medium cap sector, worldwide.

    Stop Press:
    The original of this artilce came from YahooSearchNews.com 
    and appears to have been first published in January 2007
    A major Investment Group who are taking over USA company,
    USA Weekly News Limited,

    the publisher of


    www.usaweeklynews.com
    ,

    are getting ready to take over Chapmans Limited
     ( Austalian Stock Exchange Code is CHP),
    a little known venture capital company that has been listed on the Australian Stock Exchange since about 1970.

    The plan is to use Chapmans Limited to back door list
    International News Limited,
    which is expected to cause the market to value the 90 million issued shares in Chapmans at about $Aust5 a share.
       Once the take over is completed, CHAPMANS will be listed on the Alternative Investment Market (AIM) on the London Stock Exchange, at which time, it is expected that Chapmans shares will trade around five UK Pounds a shares.
       This equates to about $Aust10 dollars a share.
       The future share price of Chapmans Limited is expected to be strengthened as the bidding takes hold by the fact that the top 20 shareholders control about 80% of the shares in the company, and very few of these large shareholders are keen to sell their shares under $5 a share, as they are well aware of the future of the company.
       In fact the managing director of Chapmans Limited, Borris Ganke, a well know veteran in the public company world, has at present an effective control of Chapmans through his personal shareholders and the shareholdering of another company he is managing director of, being Southern Cross Explorations Limited.
       Mr Ganke continues to resist any take over of the company and refuses to discuss the the sale of the 30% of the capital of Chapmans which he and Southern Cross Explorations control.
       Mr Ganke has made it clear that these shares are not for sale at any price and does not need the money as he owns a development property in Fiji which he estimates has a potential development profit of about $Aust500 milion. 
       It appears that Mr Ganke and his company Southern Cross Exporations Ltd, are there for the long term, to be involved with the move of Chapmans to the London Stock Exchange, where Mr Ganke is well known through previous companies he has been involved with on the London Stock Exchange.
       These previous companies have had capitalisations of around half a billion UK pounds on the London Stock Exchange.
      It is also understood that an oppositon camp of shareholders control about 30% of the share capital of Chapmans, and a smaller group control about 20% of Chapman's issued share capital.
       This only leaves about 20% of the issued share capital of Chapmans held by a lot a very small shareholders in small parcels from 10,000 to 200,000 shares.
       Very low key announcements have previously been made by the board of Chapmans about their aims to become involved in the media world, which have gone unnoticed by financial journalists in Australia.
       Mr Ganke is well known to be be a very conservative managing director who does not like to beat the drum too loundly until the ink is fully dry on final agreements.
       It is believed that representatives of AIM have already been over from London to approach Mr Ganke to request him to list Chapmans on AIM. 
      AIM is a part of the London Stock Exchange, which provides automatic listing to any Australian company that has been listed on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX) for more than three years. Chapmans has been on the Australian Stoxk Exchange for about 30 years.
       It is believed that the plan includes asking shareholders to agree to allow Chapmans to change its 70 year old name name to International News Limited, which is at present registered in Australia and the USA, as the owner of valuable media newspaper mastheads and internet URLs estimated to be worth over one billion UK Pounds.

        The INL News is proud to announce that  Patrick Obi has been promoted to World News Administration manager for INL News.

    "..this last four and a half years has cost me just shy of seven and a half million dollars."..."

    Adler could be free in two-and-a-half years. (ABC TV)

    Transcript

    Hello and welcome to Sunday Profile. I'm Monica Attard...tonight, as he sits behind bars for the next 2 and a half years, Rodney Adler. It's been an amazing fall from grace. The son of business icon Larry Adler had it all...a great education, a life of luxury, his name was on Sydney's A-list and people knocked on his door with investment proposals. Now - that's all - largely -gone. No doubt, FAI Insurance - the company Larry Adler left his son - had problems and the 29 year old was rather green when he took the helm. But he stuck with it and in turn became known as Mr FAI.

    In 1999, he sold FAI...to HIH.....one of four factors identified by the HIH Royal Commission as contributing to its 2001 collapse. Adler was never charged directly in relation to the HIH collapse. But the charges for which he's been jailed, came out of the 22 months he spent on the HIH Board. He resigned before the collapse but in the year before ,, he'd convinced HIH to allow him to oversee investments. He set up a trust - Pacific Eagle equity - or PEE - with $10 million dollars of HIH money. That trust bought HIH shares, when they were on a downward slide. And during the buying spree, Adler told a journalist he was using his money to buy the HIH stock. It wasn't his. It was HIH's. And in sentencing him , Justice Dunford said Adler's intention, in talking to the journalist, was to convince others to buy HIH!

    The other charges related to a struggling company called Business Thinking Systems owned by HIH and Adler Corporation. Adler convinced HIH to invest $2 million dollars in BTS ... in return he would put up half a million dollars of his own . He didn't. And he never intended to. In 2002, in civil proceedings brought by ASIC, Justice Santow fined Rodney Adler 900,000 dollars, banned him from acting as a company director for 20 years and ordered him - along with Ray Williams and Dominic Federa, the Chief Financial Officer of HIH, to pay the HIH liquidator $8 million dollars to compensate for the money lost in HIH investments Adler controlled. Adler paid the lot.

    But now, its all over...Adler is no longer a venture capitalist. No longer a director of a major company. And no longer a professional litigant. He is a prison inmate.
    As you'll hear,in an interview recorded just before his sentencing hearing, he accepts no blame for HIH's collapse - and points the finger at those he thinks are to blame...he is anxious about jail - sad for his family - and glad it's all over.


    Rodney Adler:
    It's hard to equate relief with what I've gone through but I am happy that it is coming to an end not just for myself but for my family, it's been a great strain.


    Monica Attard:
    Do you feel that it's coming to an end?


    Rodney Adler:
    Yes, I do.


    Monica Attard:
    Cause you've done a deal with ASIC, the corporate regulator and you've pleaded guilty after years of pleading not guilty. It was a move that took a lot of people by surprise. Presumably the terms of that deal were enough to allow you to feel assured that this jail term is in fact the end of it? At least in so far as HIH is concerned.


    Rodney Adler:
    Well, the term 'done a deal with ASIC' is not something I'd like to agree with. When ASIC and my solicitors made the decision that the three market manipulation charges would be dropped and they were very serious charges and I was very concerned about those because I did not feel that I manipulated the market, I was then put into a position where I could plead guilty and bring this situation to an end and I took that opportunity to draw a line in the sand and say, "I'm sorry, I am guilty, can we please move on?"


    Monica Attard:
    Did you feel in changing your plea that if you didn't that this would just go on, that they would get you somehow?

    Rodney Adler:
    Well, it's been four and a half years. There were a number of recommendations by the HIH royal commissioner, Justice Neville Owen and a number of them could be followed up if there was enough evidence for them to be followed up. But we never got to that stage and so I could see another four or five years minimum of legal discussions, win or lose and that would mean a decade of my life whatever the result, and that was just too high a price to pay.Whatever the result, even if I'd won everything, a decade of my life would have been spent fighting with my money, my dwindling money to a body that had many people on it and a great deal of financial resources.


    Monica Attard:
    How much has it cost you so far?


    Rodney Adler:
    Well, in a purely legal sense, this last four and a half years has cost me just shy of seven and a half million dollars.

Davis, a convicted killer of a police officer, said Monday, July 9, 2007, that if the state puts him to death next week as scheduled it will be executing an innocent man. Davis, 38, told The Associated Press in a telephone interview from prison that he hopes to get a reprieve or a new trial for the Aug 19, 1989, murder of Savannah police officer Mark MacPhail.

    ATLANTA (Reuters) - U.S. authorities should halt the execution next Tuesday of a man for killing an off-duty police officer in 1989 because of growing indications he might not be guilty, campaigners said on Friday.

    THE LATEST UP DATES FROM RIGHT WING WEB
    The Bush Breakdown
    By Jim Lobe
    July 6, 2007

    On everything from domestic policy to the Iraq War, an increasing number of Republicans and members of the public are abandoning the president and the vice president.

    Putting Friends in High Places

    By Tom Barry | July 10, 2007
    President Bush's decision to back Robert Zoellick as Paul Wolfowitz's replacement at the World Bank served two purposes: making sure a loyalist led the powerful multilateral institution, and continuing the trend of putting U.S. interests ahead of those of the rest of the world.

    The Right Gets Africa Wrong
    By Conn Hallinan | July 9, 2007
    Africa plans pushed by outfits like the Heritage Foundation and instituted by the Bush administration reveal an agenda aimed at securing oil interests while extending the war on terror to a new continent. But observers in and outside Africa see an agenda that repeats the same mistakes of the past.

    The Media War
    By Khody Akhavi | June 28, 2007
    Despite signs that the neoconservative-led agenda to reshape the Middle East has fallen out of favor in Washington, neocons have recently tightened their grip on several key aspects of the public diplomacy apparatus. Does this herald a new period of strictly ideological programming?

    Blowback, from Palestine to Pakistan
    By Jim Lobe | June 20, 2007
    Four years after embarking on a neoconservative-inspired agenda of reshaping the Middle East, beginning with the invasion of Iraq, the Bush administration is now beset by crises across the globe.

    Time to Ignore the Middle East?
    By Leon Hadar | June 7, 2007
    If a Democrat wins the 2008 presidency, one should not be surprised to discover that the major element in the neoconservative agenda—maintaining U.S. military and diplomatic hegemony in the Middle East—will likely remain alive and well, producing the never-ending vicious circle: more U.S. military interventions, leading to more anti-U.S. terrorism, resulting in more regime changes. It's time for "constructive disengagement" from the Middle East. U.S. policymakers need to recognize that U.S. military intervention there only ignites anti-Americanism in the form of international terrorism.

    The Political War Over the Iraq War
    By John Isaacs | May 30, 2007
    What seems like a huge defeat—scrapping the deadlines for troop withdrawal in the latest war-funding bill—could instead be a minor setback; but it has become clear that President Bush wants to draw out the Iraq War until he can hand off the mess to his successor.

    Religious Right Rejects Giuliani
    By Bill Berkowitz | May 24, 2007
    Republican presidential candidates seem to be fighting a losing battle in their efforts to talk tough on Iraq while sidelining core conservative domestic issues, and foreign policy in the broader Middle East is emerging as a campaign catch. Not to mention that powerful figures on the Religious Right are now trumpeting the same arguments as neoconservatives regarding regime change in Iran.

    Democrats Remold Military Budget
    By John Isaacs | May 10, 2007
    Despite vociferous support from some Republicans and from hardline outfits like the Center for Security Policy, a number of controversial military programs—like designing new nuclear weapons, placing missile defense sites in Europe, and developing space-based weapons—are being targeted for cuts by the Democrat-controlled Congress.

    Last Days of the Bush Administration:
    Protecting the Legacy

    By Leon Hadar | April 24, 2007
    What seems to have survived from the neoconservative project of Democratic Empire in the Middle East is merely the Empire. Drained of its Wilsonian idealism, the project has been transformed into a hasty Realpolitik-based program of sustaining the U.S. hegemonic position in the region—and salvaging President Bush's legacy. But the chances of success seem slim.

    The Conservative Credibility Test
    By Tom Barry | April 3, 2007
    The Republicans may have found a leading man for the presidential run in lawyer/thespian/senator Fred Thompson, but his ties to Corporate America and the neoconservatives may dissuade many grassroots conservatives from giving him their vote.

    Congress Wrestles With the Iraq War
    By John Isaacs | March 26, 2007
    Last week, as the Iraq War entered its fifth year, the House voted on legislation to force troop withdrawal by mid-2008. Although the resolution was an impressive victory for anti-war legislators, stopping the war will require more Republican leaders to step up and force the president's hand, just like they did in 1974 with President Nixon.

    "A Great Little Racket": The Neocon Media Machine
    By Eli Clifton | March 20, 2007
    From high-brow intellectualism to tabloid spin, the neoconservative movement has evolved in ways that its early progenitors could hardly have imagined. The result is a well-oiled media machine that continues to impact policymaking even as the neoconservatives themselves fall deeper into ill repute.

    Pushing the Anti-Immigration Agenda Further Right
    By Tom Barry | March 13, 2007
    Connecting immigration restrictionism to the "global war on terror" and the "clash of civilizations," Republican presidential hopeful Rep. Tom Tancredo is helping to forge a new unity among social conservatives on a far-right agenda, even as other presidential candidates endeavor to steer clear of the immigration debate.

    Africa: The Right's Stuff
    By Conn Hallinan | March 7, 2007
    A seasoned cadre of neoconservatives and right-wingers have latched on to the human rights issue in Sudan, pushing an agenda that favors military over political solutions. It is hard not to conclude that the Bush administration's strategy for Africa is less about freedom and God than about oil and earthly power.

    America's Crusaders
    By Tom Barry | February 23, 2007
    A fervent blend of ideology and faith is spurring various factions of the American right to champion an imperial foreign policy that envisions the United States forever at war.

    Is Washington Being Sidelined on the Middle East?
    By Leon Hadar | February 20, 2007
    When U.S. officials warn of the chaos that would follow a U.S. withdrawal from Iraq, they are actually expressing their anxiety over their real nightmare scenario—a Middle East in which the United States is marginalized to a position of little power. But they seem to have found a solution: Attacking Iran.

    Gingrich at the Gate
    By Bill Berkowitz | February 8, 2007
    The former Speaker of the House continues his non-campaign for the GOP's presidential nomination with warnings of a nuclear holocaust and by receiving $1 million from big-time Vegas gaming interests for his new 527 self-promoting "soft-money" organization.

    Somalia in the Crosshairs
    By Najum Mushtaq | February 1, 2007
    The Bush administration's Somalia policy has been consistently dictated by an exaggerated fear of al-Qaida's strength in Somalia, leading it to equate the indigenous Somali Islamic courts with the global network of terrorism.

    Expanding the War to Iran: Another ?Urban Legend??
    By Leon Hadar | January 26, 2007
    Strong signals indicate that the Bush administration could be creating the conditions for another war in the Middle East. A sense of d?j? vu is descending on Washington as many begin to wonder whether the White House is planning to expand the current war into Iran.

    A Look at the 110th Congress
    By John Isaacs | January 18, 2007
    Early votes in the new Congress reveal a determined effort by Democrats to maintain party unity and also reveal a breakdown of the Republican unanimity that has dominated during much of the Bush presidency. But the hard votes on national security are still to come.

    The Push behind the Surge
    By Jim Lobe and Michael Flynn | January 11, 2007
    Neoconservatives and their allies are practically the only supporters of the ?surge? idea to send more troops to Iraq. But this doesn?t seem to bother the president, who was given a brand new blueprint for ?victory? last week, gift-wrapped by the same ideologues at the American Enterprise Institute who helped lead the country into war.

    Selected Profiles

    Heritage Foundation
    A mainstay of the conservative movement for over three decades, the Heritage Foundation has lately taken to hawking the "Islamofascist" threat while pushing an indefinite U.S. intervention in Iraq.

    Hillel Fradkin
    Fradkin, a senior fellow at the Hudson Institute, noted Straussian scholar, and longtime fellow traveler of the neocons, hears the threatening echoes of the distant past in the words of America's "enemies."

    Paul Wolfowitz
    The controversial former Pentagon official and ex-president of the World Bank has followed other erstwhile Bush administration officials, including John Bolton, to the American Enterprise Institute.

    Robert Zoellick
    The erstwhile U.S. trade rep and supporter of the Project for the New American Century, Zoellick began his new job as head of the World Bank this month.

    Jerusalem Summit
    Bringing together Evangelicals, U.S. neoconservatives, and hardline pro-Israel figures from across the globe, this Israel-based outfit aims to prevent Palestinian statehood, stop "global Islamism," and promote worldwide support for Israel.

    Morris Amitay
    The former head of the powerful American Israel Public Affairs Committee argues that "Islamofascists" are intent on establishing a global caliphate.

    Richard Cheney
    The secretive VP is pushing to bomb Iran at the same time he's fending off efforts to put his office under greater scrutiny, going so far as to propose abolishing the executive agency charged with such oversight.

    Dennis Prager
    The conservative radio talk show host and champion of the Iraq War argues that the United States must stay there to finish the job.

    Carl Gershman
    Like other promoters of the Bush administration's "forward strategy of freedom," Gershman, head of the National Endowment for Democracy, has had second thoughts about the best way to promote this agenda.

    David Horowitz
    A former California liberal associated with the Black Panthers, Horowitz eventually moved his politics to the far right, making outlandish comments about liberals and attacking progressive academics.

    Michael Chertoff
    The front man for President Bush's immigration reform plans, Chertoff is also a staunch defender of the tactics employed by the administration in waging the "war on terror."

    Daniel Pipes
    The scion of a long-standing neoconservative family, Pipes runs the hardline Middle East Forum and promotes efforts to discredit professors who are critical of Israel.

    U.S. Committee for a Free Lebanon
    The now largely defunct USCFL was part of a network of tightly linked hardline groups that helped champion an expansive war on terror in the wake of 9/11.

    Middle East Forum
    The Middle East Forum, a creation of hardline neocon Daniel Pipes, champions U.S. intervention in the Middle East and knocks scholars who are critical of Israel.

    Ziad Abdelnour
    A private equity banker, Abdelnour has worked closely with neocons like Daniel Pipes to push for U.S. intervention in Syria.

    Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs
    A core component of the right-wing of the U.S. pro-Israel lobby, JINSA specializes in fomenting U.S.-Israeli military-to-military relations while promoting a hard line on Mideast peace, pushing for an expansive war on terror, and advocating controversial weapons programs.



    The Al-Qaida Gambit?
    By Gareth Porter
    June 11, 2007

    Blaming Tehran for al-Qaida attacks could be the gambit used by the United States to justify bombing Iran.

    By Trita Parsi
    June 18, 2007

    Senator Lieberman, Norman Podhoretz, and company are busy trying to preempt the diplomatic track on Iran, arguing that bombing is the only solution.

    Fallen idol? philip delves broughton on the U2 singer’s un-PC new investments
    Bono's reputation as the Mother Teresa of rock is in jeopardy following a pair of business deals tying him to one of the most conservative businessmen in America and the creators of violent video-games with an anti-socialist bent. He's also been criticised for a plan to avoid U2 paying tax in Ireland.

    The deals were struck by Elevation Partners, a $1.9bn (£1bn) Silicon Valley-based investment firm, of which Bono is a founding partner. On Monday, Elevation announced an investment of $250m (£130m) in Forbes Media, a publishing company managed by Steve Forbes. Forbes ran twice for the US presidency - in 1996 and 2000 - arguing for a flat income tax, prayer in schools and a ban on abortion.

    Bono, a champion of Third World debt relief and AIDS treatment, thus becomes part-owner of Forbes magazine and a number of other business titles serving America's financial elite. U2 has also joined many business high-fliers in moving part of its multi-million-dollar operation from Ireland to Amsterdam, to take advantage of a lighter tax regime. Meanwhile, another of Elevation's portfolio companies, Pandemic Studios, a video-game developer, has incurred the wrath of American liberals for creating a game in which players take the role of mercenaries sent to Venezuela to depose a Hugo Chavez-like figure. Players of Mercenary 2: World in Flames are told "if you can see it, you can buy it, steal it or blow the living crap out of it". Pandemic has also done work creating computerized war simulations with the Institute for Creative Technologies, a southern Californian research centre funded by the US Army.
    Lisa Featherstone, a columnist for The Nation, a liberal magazine based in New York, yesterday challenged Bono to choose between his investments and his declared commitment to improving the lot of the world's poor: "If Bono is serious in his commitment, and not, as one frequently suspects, a vapid celebrity poser, he should immediately use his financial muscle to deep-six this horrible video game (right)." Elevation was founded in 2004 by Bono and five prominent Silicon Valley investors and executives, led by Roger McNamee, a venture capitalist and former business adviser to the Grateful Dead. Their goal is to invest in media and entertainment businesses. U2 is known as one of the most financially astute bands in the world, having retained all rights to their music. Bono's name helped Elevation raise its first fund, but he rarely attends the firm's meetings in California. He may care to drop by before Pandemic's next major release, Destroy All Humans 2, in which players "have total freedom to destroy anything and manipulate everything in the world".

      U.S. military deaths in Iraq at 3,616 AP - 1 minute ago

    Michael Lenahan, 23, of Philadelphia, Pa. is gored in the leg by a fighting bull during a traditional bull run in Pamplona, Spain, Thursday July 12, 2007. Two American brothers were gored Thursday during the longest and bloodiest morning bull run at the San Fermin festival in the northeastern city of Pamplona. Lawrence Lenahan, 26, of Hermosa Beach, Calif. and Michael Lenahan, 23, of Philadelphia, Pa. were gored by a bull who strayed from the pack, turned around and ran the wrong way. The older brother suffered a eight-inch (20-centimeter) goring in the left buttock after a dangerous sharp right turn in the course Lenahan described as a 'dead man's curve.' The younger brother was injured shortly before the bull ring, the end point of the daily runs, after the bulls horn entered beneath his skin in his right shin.

    OTC CFD Special Offer

    ]A seventy year old Australian Venture Capital Company Chapmans Limited (ASX code-CHP)
    which has been listed on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX) since about 1970 announces purchase of 10% of
    COMMUNITY FINANCIAL SERVICES GROUP PTY LTD
    trading as Smart Ventures
    The Australian Stock Market reacted positively to the news by pushing Chapmans shares up by 60% over a two day heavy trading session

    Smart Ventures are not the only company interested in Chapmans Limited. International News Limited based in the USA, is apparently looking at a take over bid for Chapmans to use to head their expansion into the Australian media market with a hard copy Australia wide weekend newspaper called the Ausralian Weekend News and online real estate and business sales web sites in Australian and New Zealand called           www.yahoorealestate.com.au and
                         
    www.yahoorealestate.co.nz 
    to take on   www.realestate.com.au

    which is said in the industry to be worth a few billion dollars, because of the very profitable advertising revenue it earns each year from real estate and business for sale advertising. Both groups are keen to take over Chapmans for a number of reasons, which includes the fact that, as Chapmans has been listed on the Australian Stock Exchange since about 1970, it will be easy to have the company listed on the Alternative Investment Market (AIM), which is effectively the second board of the London Stock Exchange. This move will open up the opportunity and interest for European, United Kingdom and USA investors and large superanuation, insurance and mutual funds to invest in Chapmans Limited, which now has interests in a diverse range of industries listed in the Smart Ventures portfolio, and the interesting investments Chapmans have already made in mobile phone accessories, mining, real estate and an Irish based new roofing system called New-Lock , as well as the media.
    Brett Goldworthy the CEO of Smart Ventures seems excited about what appears to be effectively a merger of two venture capital type companies.
    Another USA based media company called the USA Weekly News Limited has just last week purchased 10% of the issued shares in Chapmans Limited, and is making noises of purchasing another 9%, which will bring their shareholding just under the 20% mark. It is understood negotiations are going on at present with some of the of the other large shareholders of Chapmans to purchase these extra 9% off market, so that the share price on the market will not increase too much in case they want to make a formal take over bid in the near future.
    If the USA Weekly News Limited purchases 20% or more of the stock it will be forced to make a take over bid for Chapmans. From investigations done by INL, this is also on the cards.
    Watch this space for further developments.
    It is INL's understanding that on the 26th of April 2007 the general manager of Chapmans, Dan Lansky with the managing director of Chapmans Borris Ganke, brokered and signed the deal for Chapmans to buy 10% of Brett Goldwothy's, Smart Ventures which describes itself on Smart Venture's web site
    www.smartventures.com.au the following way

    Objective
    To accelerate small market cap companies into the global market place by providing innovative solutions and services to growing companies in the small to medium cap sector, worldwide.

    About Us

    We are planning to back door list the company into a listed public company in Australia called Chapmans Limited, which has taken an option to purchase 90% of International News Limited (INL). Chapmans Limited is a small venture capital company with its shares selling between 3c and 6c a share with an issued capital of about 90 million shares. The shares have gone as high a 50c in the past. The goodwill value of the newspaper mastheads and internet URL's, cartoon characters, television and movie concepts, manuscripts, scripts and books are placed on the books of INL at one billion dollars. With these assets which have been conservatively placed at $1 billion on the books of INL, moved into Chapmans Limited as a back door listing when they take up the option to purchased these assets for only 10 million Chapmans shares will provide a solid argument that Chapmans 100 million issued Chapmans should have a potential value of about $10 a share. Once the back door listing is completed, then the plan is to have Chapmans Limited listed on the Alternative Investment Market (AIM) in London and issue a further 25 million shares at four British pounds a share thus raising a further 100 million pounds in working capital for Chapmans Limited for future media, entertainment, information and film expansion. 

    We have a  friendly group of investors who have purchased about 30% of the company and we are looking for further funds to purchase another 20% of the company. This will give voting control and to be able to control the future destiny of the company. The publicly listed company has taken an option to take up 90% of International News Ltd which has control of a number of newspaper and internet mastheads which are valued on the books of International News Limited at least one billion Australian dollars.

    These include AusNews, Koala News, Australian Weekend News, Australian Daily News

    BORRIS GANKE MANAGING DIRECTOR OF CHAPMANS LIMITED

    Mr Ganke is inspoection possible real estate investments for Chapmans Limited

    We are in the process of proceeding to purchase a large share in a small Australian venture capital company, Chapmans Limited (CHP), which has been listed on the Australian Stock Exchange for about 30 years, and has been going as a company since about 1930. Chapmans has an option to purchase a large percentage of the group's holding company International News Limited with all its media tentacles. Boris Ganke of Offshore Oil Limited fame, is an experienced managing director of Chapmans Limited and has the ability to deal on an equal level with the Packers and Murdoch’s, he was brought up with them on the same football field. Boris Ganke can be just as friendly, as well as sharp, and is one of the very few corporate heavy weights that have the ability to negotiate on this level and  guide Chapmans Limited into being a successful Australian and world media company, which can be worth just as much as the Packer and Murdoch’s Groups. After all Rupert Murdoch only started with a share in a small unknown newspaper in Adelaide, one of the smallest capital cities in Australia having been left this share by his late father and has ended up controlling a world media empire worth billions. 

    International News Limited also has been involved in financing two music magazines in Australia called HOT Press and Riot Music Magazine, as well as controlling interest in Smash Music which promotes bands, artists and music products which gives the INL Group a strong connection with the younger generation.

    The real profit is in the shares on the stock exchange, long before the big day to day profits in the media enterprises are made. The Australian media tycoon Kerry Packer before his recent death, had a great interest in taking a larger share in the print media in Australia from Rupert Murdoch and others. He made it clear that he believed that there is a great profit centre in the weekend and daily newspapers in Australia which he was missing out on. He was only hindered by the rules in Australia stopping a group that owns a television station from also controlling print media. This has now changed as the Prime Minister of Australia, John Howard has made it clear, now he has control of the senate, he would change the rules to allow overseas investors and other media owners to own controlling interest of any media whether it be television or print media. The cheque books have now come out with telephone numbers ready to be spent by overseas investors and other television investors in Australia into Australian print and internet media. The well know channel seven news controller Kerry Stokes has purchased a large shareholding in the the Western Australian Newspapers Group which has pushed its shares from about  $AUST 3  TO ABOUT $Aust10. WANG's only major asset is the Western Australian Newspaper in Werstern Australia which has a market value of about $Aust 3 billion. INL has the ownership of the old "much loved West Australian newspaper masthead which used to come out on Friday afternoons called , the "Weekend News"'. INL is proceeding to relaunch the WEEKEND NEWS in Western Australia  as well as in every other stae in Australia under the newspaper mastead known as the Australian Weekend News which will come out in every state in Australia on Friday afternoon as  a weekend newspaper. The expected potential value of the Australian Weekend News is over $Aust 6 billion when it is fully established in the market place. This will be supported by online news and advertising available to advertisers and subscribers of the Australian Weekend News through INL's websites such as www.yahoonews.com.au; www.yahoorealestatenews.com.au, www.yahoopropertynews.com.au, www.yahoobusinessnews.com.au etc.It has been said to the INL by finacial analysts, that James Packer, who has taken over from his late father Kerry Packer as the head of the Packer Media Empire which includes Channel 9, will end up looking at taking a share in Chapmans Limited, the public listed company that International News Limited is in the process of being back door listed into. Kerry Packer was well liked in Australia, and it would be good to have the Packer Group as partners to help take on Rupert Murdoch’s current stranglehold on the Australian print media.   Rupert Murdoch the other major player in Australia in print media is seen by the average Australian as having sold out the country and sending his one billion print media profits to America, now he has made News Limited an American company. Murdoch’s company News Limited is no longer based in Adelaide the capital of South Australia, as it always was. The Average Australia is not happy about Murdoch taking all these profits to America just to expand his American expansion, rather than spending these profits back in Australia.

      One could go on and on about the back ground, but the real point is that an investment into the listed public company at 3-5c will return substantial profits once the full announcements are made that the company has taken up its option to take up 90% of International News Limited and its associated media tentacles etc.

    There is every expectation that   shares will go from 3c-5c to over $1 share immediately. There will be large overseas media interest from London, UK, Europe and America once the word is formally out. We are looking for an investor to either lend us the funds or come in as joint venture in some way or another to finalise the takeover on the publicly listed company in Australia. There are many ways of doing   this, what ever suits the individual investor. This is a unique and once in a life time opportunity.

    We can finalise the take over of Chapmans as an informal takeover just by purchasing 20% of the current shareholdings as we have friendly shareholders who control 31% of the company already. Having a majority control with the other 31% friendly shareholders or making a formal take over bid, we can move the company to the Alternative Investment   Market (AIM), part of   the London Stock Exchange, and raise a further £50 million pounds for working capital with the issue of another 100 million shares at 50 UK pence. This would put the company in good shape for expansion.

    INL is in the process of exploring another option, which is to make a take over bid for the Mecom Group, which is already listed on AIM with the help of a number of investment bankers INL is having discussions with. INCL is of the opinion that the Mecom Group is under valued, as the share price does not account for the group's potential future media expansion and the price is just selling on the AIM for the amount of cash backing. It appears still to be a cash box. The combined group of Chapmans, INCL and the Mecom Group would have the potential to develop into a strong progressive media group of companies based in Australian, UK and Europe. The INL group also have their hooks into some unique and valuable property in the Hills of the Gold Coast which is seven houses in one street, on 8 to 13 acres. these properties are on top of the Tallai mountain over looking the Gold Coast,  with each block having a luxury home built on it. INCL is negotiating to sell these for $Aust 30 million to retire the debt on these properties and raise working capital for the media side of the group. However these properties are a very valuable land bank. If these properties could be put into the investment mix it would be a good long term real estate asset for the group. Because of their height being one of the highest points in the Gold Coast, they are ideal for establishing internet towers, towers, mobile tele- communications towers etc, as well as their future sub-divisional potential. If the INCL group could manage to raise the funding to keep the properties they would be an excellent base to operate the media group, the accommodate key staff and be an excellent capital asset that would keep increasing in value over the next ten years. For the group to have about 70 acres all in one street with seven luxury homes only ten minutes from the popular Broadbeach, 15 minutes from the Coolangatta Airport and 50 minutes from Brisbane which similar to most TV stations who have a good parcel of land surrounding their network premises, often high up so TV and other communication towers have more effect. In the next ten years there is every likelihood that each of these seven properties would be worth $10 million each which would value to overall investment at $70 million for the seven properties. Keeping them in the group would give the group an excellent capital growth asset on their balance sheet as well as give the key staff members a place to live and work from in harmony as well as have places were important visitors to the media group could stay while doing business with the INCL Group of companies.

    What drives us
    The group's business philosophy is the fundamental objective of the business.   The business philosophy is to provide a high quality product and reliable service for its customers, with more affordable, informative, open and entertaining news with more affordable advertising and a real range and back up facilities to our subscribers that other media companies and outlets do not provide. Our group is more than just a media group providing news and adds, it's aim is to be a real support to its subscribers in as many ways as possible, from providing legal, financial, personal advice where possible for free and/or at an affordable price and an open forum for open discussion on any issue that the readers which to discuss. A media group should be more than just a company that provides adds and stories but a community that crosses borders and countries where everyone world-wide can communicate with each other in any way they wish.

    People and Future Aims

    The INL Group is looking for a broad range of people to help develop its media concept and that is not just limited to those who   have all the top qualifications. it includes anyone who feels they can be assistance in any way. We encourage people with drive and positivity, who may not have the formal qualifications but have the right attitude and/or   have good ideas. We are an open minded organisation which will look at any suggestions our readers have.

     Murdoch "Completely Foxed"
    A recent film put together by an American journalist called " Murdoch Unfoxed (The Power of One)" tries to argue how Rupert Murdoch's media Group "News Limited" through its Fox network successfully influenced the outcome of the recent American election and helped George Bush get re-elected by the sanitization of the Iraq War. The journalist is trying to wake up the world that it is unhealthy to have one person with his own political and financial aims to take over the world media without healthy competition and media alternatives. In Australia, Murdoch's News Limited has a stranglehold on Australian Print media and thus what people read and thus how people think and vote etc through his over 100 statewide, Australia wise and local newspapers like the "Australian" as well as his internet sites like realestate.com.au. An American student in California described Murdoch as been "Completely Foxed" when hearing about INL publishing the Australian Daily News, the Australian Weekend News, Aus News, Koala News, Australian Business News, Australian Real Estate News, Aus UK News, International Business and Property News and many other newspaper internet publications against Murdoch’s "Australian" newspaper and realestate.com.au. She could see the Australian people support INL and its Masots, Mr Wijat, Erf the Worm, Al Wijat and Marvin the Marvelous (see www.newscorp.net.au) who want to keep as much of the one billion Murdochs Group News Limited, takes out of Australia in profits to America each year, in Australia by a strong media group controlled by Australian investors. There of course would be overseas investors wanting to buy shares through the publicly listed company Chapmans but the company would not be an American company in the main controlled by overseas investors. There would only be about 20% of overseas investors in the restructured Chapmans/INL Group, the bulk of the profits staying in Australia. A few years ago when the INCL Group approached Murdoch's News Limited to see if they wanted to take up 20% of INL and the Australian Weekend News, Australian Daily News, Aus News, Koala News, Australian Real Estate News, Australian Business News etc, their reply was to give the INL Group 14 days to take the word Australian off any of their media mastheads and their proposed and existing internet sites, other wise they would be taken to every court in the country until they did what News Limited requested. The INL Group's answer to that was to send a draft newspaper headline stating that Murdoch was suing over the right of an Australian media company and its mascots Mr Wijat, EFR the Worm, Al Wijat and Marvin the Marvelous (see www.newscorp.net.au) to use the word Australian. INL group also requested that the legal action be ready for them to collect first thing the next day. Murdoch and News Limited's powerful lawyers with an unlimited legal budget were never heard of since.
