QUAKE NEWS (Chapter III of "The Theory and Practice of Oligarchical Collectivism" by Emmanuel Goldstein, 1984, by George Orwell: "All members of the Inner Party believe in this coming conquest as an article of faith. It is to be achieved either by gradually acquiring more and more territory and so building up an overwhelming preponderance of power, or by the discovery of some new and unanswerable weapon . . . others explore even remoter possibilities such as focusing the sun's rays through lenses suspended thousands of kilometres away in space, or producing artificial earthquakes and tidal waves by tapping the heat at the earth's centre. Secretary of Defense William Cohen, Pentagon briefing, April 28, 1997: "Others are engaging even in an eco-type of terrorism whereby they can alter the climate, set off earthquakes, volcanoes remotely through the use of electromagnetic waves.")

But one of the most important persons who were killed by Mossad is Yahya al-Mashu, who was responsible for Iraq's nuclear program during Saddam Hosayn's government. His body was found in 1980 in a hotel in Paris . . . Some Iraqi nuclear scientists have announced it to Islam-Online through emails and said that the American occupying forces have been threatening them.
