Abstract:
Valerie Plame Wilson smiled at the crowd of Hopkins students, faculty and local residents who had gathered in Shriver Hall on Thursday to hear the latest in the line of Milton S. Eisenhower (MSE) Symposium speakers....
Publisher?s Note: Our author had it right in 1987, but couldn?t get published because they said the events he predicted could not possibly happen. Well, they did, and we finally published him when we discovered the manuscript. Mr. Spirko tells us that Bush?s motive for trying the peace initiative is not so much his seeking a favorable legacy, but rather that this is probably the last chance for peace in the Middle East before a catastrophic World War III event takes place. Spirko says, ?It is never too late for peace.? Most of the ideas that will be used at Annapolis and the continuing peace talks are from Spirko?s book.

SAN FRANCISCO - THE PALESTINE CONSPIRACY, a genre spy-thriller by Robert Spirko, was fourth on the best-seller list at Atlasbooks, Inc., a national book distributor. Ingram Books is the worldwide distributor.
Spirko, a financial and geo-political analyst who has given his advice to the National Security Council, turned his attention to the Middle East in 1987, after discovering several common elements related to the Middle East question. He wrote down his analysis, and when he was finished, he not only had a solution to the quagmire, he had a story to tell. THE PALESTINE CONSPIRACY foreshadowed the Persian Gulf War by three years, and the resultant Iraq War followed by the Sept. 11 attack.
?Everyone tells me there will never be peace in the Middle East, but I tell them they are wrong. Israel and Egypt have had a peace treaty for 29 years. Jordan and Israel signed a peace agreement 14 years ago. A Palestinian State can be created. It can be done and it will be done,? Spirko reiterates. ?Twenty-nine years of peace is better than 29 years of war.?
?We?re not talking about a serpent-tongued, false prophet who will negotiate this peace between Israel and the Islamists, it will be done by a U.S. president and those parties involved in the peace process who will finally achieve it through hard work, tough compromises, and by making specific decisions fair to both sides to agree to end the violence once-and-for-all ? by those leaders who want a future for their children,? Spirko says.
?In the end, we all report to the same God, whether we call him God, Jehovah or Allah,? he says.
"This occurred only a week after her husband, Joseph Wilson, published an editorial that criticized the Bush administration for entering the Iraq War as a result of unreliable intelligence."
You do Valierie Plame further abuse by calling the Bush lies "the resutl of unreliable intelligence." The intelligence was *manufactured*, it was a total fabrication and the very reason the Pentagon had to shut down Dick Cheney's opperation in the Pentagon, The Office of Special Planning, stocked with neocon hawks transferred from CIA, who refused to participate in the churade -- afterwhich Cheney purged CIA and got Tenet to take the fall.
I note with interest that the reporter seems very concerned with the civility of the discourse, and Valerie Plame's control of her emotions.
Although she did have one or two flagrant outbursts, for the most part things went well and ultimately 'She did not disappoint.'
No mention of the traitorous nature of the crime against her and the lack of accountability in the White House, the way Bush promised that anyone who had anything to do with her outing would be fired, the obstruction of justice by Libby and the obvious involvement of Dick Cheney. And no mention of how the corporate media pretty much put the whole thing on the back page, and kept the truth from being told.
How could a story about a beautiful espionage agent working on WMD's in Iran not engender huge public interest? When I saw Valerie Plame testify before Congress, I thought for sure the country would be captivated by her. She is beautiful and she's had a very interesting career as a spy in dangerous parts of the world. But I guess Brittney Spears is more interesting to viewers of shows like Anderson Cooper's 360.
Read her book, 'Fair Game'. Although huge chunks are blacked out, it still reveals what she and her husband went through, and why she might get slightly excited when asked how the whole thing affected their lives.
