INTERVIEW: DR. JUSTIN FRANK
George Bush Is a Very Destructive Man;
He Needs To Be Removed From Office

Dr. Justin A. Frank, a Washington, D.C.-based psychoanalyst and Professor of Psychiatry at George Washington University Medical School, was interviewed by Jeffrey Steinberg on March 26, 2006. Dr. Frank is the author of the bestselling book, Bush on the Couch: Inside the Mind of the President (HarperCollins: hardcover 2004, paperback 2005).

EIR: Let me first ask, what's the status of the book? I understand it's been translated and is being circulated in several languages, in addition to English.

Frank: Yes, it's been translated into Arabic, Korean, and German. The British edition is coming out in May, and that's got a more updated Epilogue. The Epilogue in the American edition paperback goes through the 2004 election and through all the debates of that Summer, and into the beginning of Bush's second term in early 2005. It still gets lots of media attention, largely because of the trouble that Bush is finding himself in.

EIR: That's terrific. Obviously, since the publication of the original paperback edition, and the update you included in that book, Bush went through a pretty horrific 2005. I wonder if you could start by giving us your updated psychological assessment of President Bush?

Frank: Well, my updated psychological assessment is essentially, that he is still very much the way he was: Which was that he suffers from a couple of basic things which I will describe. But I've gotten teh sense recently, that Bush is like a Rorschach test for the left: Everybody has a different theory about him.

My clinical sense of him is that he is a man who is compromised by a couple of things:

One is by learning disabilities, which makes it hard for him to read, and therefore hard for him to visualize and anticipate events.

He is also compromised by his long history of alcoholism. That has led him to see the world in black and white, and for him to have to use black-and-white thinking, in order to manage his anxiety—and everything makes him anxious. So, he has to surround himself with people who agree with him, who see things the way he does, and who never question him.

Both of these problems—his difficulty processing information and his need to manage his anxiety by seeing the world in black and white—make him impervious to criticism, and he blocks out anything that he doesn't like. So he actually attacks reality; he attacks material reality in ways that I have not seen, except occasionally with President Reagan.

Lost Gospel Revealed; Says Jesus Asked Judas to Betray Him
Stefan Lovgren
for National Geographic News

April 6, 2006
He is one of the most reviled men in history.

But was Judas only obeying his master's wishes when he betrayed Jesus with a kiss?

That's what a newly revealed ancient Christian text says.

After being lost for nearly 1,700 years, the Gospel of Judas was recently restored, authenticated, and translated.

Different beat to Iran war drums
By Ehsan Ahrari

A newly leaked confidential British memorandum is important not only for
what was discussed between London and Washington over Iraq, but the insight
it provides about the ongoing conflict between the US and Iran over Tehran's
nuclear program.

The memorandum, according to the The New York Times this week, details
conversations during a private two-hour meeting between President George W
Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair in the Oval Office on January 31,
2003.

Democracy: Iraq votes, Bush vetoes
By Ehsan Ahrari

Call it desperation, but the United States has started to take measures in
Iraq that would wreck its most cherished goal there: democracy.

US Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad is reportedly campaigning to either dump the
United Iraqi Alliance's (UIA) candidate for prime minister, Ibrahim
al-Jaafari, or force him to withdraw. Khalilzad has taken the drastic
measure of appealing to the Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani to that effect.

Parliament's largest bloc nominates the prime minister under Iraq's
constitution, and last month Jaafari captured the nomination by one vote
with the help of Shi'ite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr. However, the 275-member
parliament is now at an impasse in talks over forming a new government as
the main Kurdish, Sunni Arab and secular blocs staunchly oppose a Jaafari
premiership.

A silver bullet aimed at Iraq's head
By Ehsan Ahrari

An important aspect of the United States' quest for government stability and
for resolving the ever-escalating sectarian violence in Iraq is the campaign
to have Ibrahim al-Jaafari dumped. The incumbent premier was chosen by the
dominant Shi'ite bloc, the United Iraqi Alliance (UIA), after January's
elections to continue for another term.

The Sunnis, the Kurds and secular Shi'ites now fully support the US in
wanting to fire the silver bullet that would get Jaafari out, but the
overarching question ought to be whether his replacement will result in the
emergence of a national-unity government - something that Jaafari has been
unable to facilitate.

On Sunday, the Shi'ite faction in the UIA led by Abdul Aziz al-Hakim and his
Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq (SCIRI) said it would put
forward the name of another candidate to replace Jaafari, who in February
narrowly won the Shi'ite vote after receiving support from influential
cleric Muqtada al-Sadr.

This split in the UIA was made public after US Secretary of State
Condoleezza Rice and Jack Straw, the British foreign secretary, paid an
unexpected visit to Iraq to press for the political deadlock to be broken.

Iran’s Nukes in a Power Game

China, Russia, and Arab nations view the Iranian nuclear program as a way to constrain the West

Ehsan Ahrari
YaleGlobal, 6 April 2006

ALEXANDRIA: When one reads the profusion of analysis on Iran's determination to continue its uranium-enrichment program, it becomes clear what the US and the EU-3 countries – Germany, France, and the UK – want to achieve. They expect Iran to abandon its uranium-enrichment program, once and for all. The role of China and Russia in this controversy, on the contrary, is confusing. They want to play a role in resolving the issue, but not by making it easy for the US to take any military action against Iran. But one hears little on the subject about the position of Arab states, especially those in the immediate neighborhood of Iran.

Dealing with Doctor Doom

31 March 2006
Recently citizen scientist Forrest Mims told me about a speech he heard at the Texas Academy of Science during which the speaker, a world-renowned ecologist, advocated for the extermination of 90 percent of the human species in a most horrible and painful manner. Apparently at the speaker's direction, the speech was not video taped by the Academy and so Forrest's may be the only record of what was said. Forrest's account of what he witnessed chilled my soul. Astonishingly, Forrest reports that many of the Academy members present gave the speaker a standing ovation. To date, the Academy has not moved to sanction the speaker or distance itself from the speaker's remarks.

If the professional community has lost its sense of moral outrage when one if their own openly calls for the slow and painful extermination of over 5 billion human beings, then it falls upon the amateur community to be the conscience of science.

Forrest, who is a member of the Texas Academy and chairs its Environmental Science Section, told me he would be unable to describe the speech in The Citizen Scientist because he has protested the speech to the Academy and he serves as Editor of The Citizen Scientist. Therefore, to preclude a possible conflict of interest, I have directed Forrest to describe what he observed and his reactions in this special feature, for which I have served as editor and which is being released a week ahead of our normal publication schedule. Comments may be sent to Backscatter.

Former Head Of Star Wars Program Says Cheney Main 9/11 Suspect
Official version of events a conspiracy theory, says drills were cover for attacks

Paul Joseph Watson & Alex Jones/Prison Planet.com | April 4 2006

The former head of the Star Wars missile defense program under Presidents Ford and Carter has gone public to say that the official version of 9/11 is a conspiracy theory and his main suspect for the architect of the attack is Vice President Dick Cheney.

Dr. Robert M. Bowman, Lt. Col., USAF, ret. flew 101 combat missions in Vietnam. He is the recipient of the Eisenhower Medal, the George F. Kennan Peace Prize, the President’s Medal of Veterans for Peace, the Society of Military Engineers Gold Medal (twice), six Air Medals, and dozens of other awards and honors. His Ph.D. is in Aeronautics and Nuclear Engineering from Caltech. He chaired 8 major international conferences, and is one of the country’s foremost experts on National Security.

Bowman worked secretly for the US government on the Star Wars project and was the first to coin the very term in a 1977 secret memo. After Bowman realized that the program was only ever intended to be used as an aggressive and not defensive tool, as part of a plan to initiate a nuclear war with the Soviets, he left the program and campaigned against it.

In an interview with The Alex Jones Show aired nationally on the GCN Radio Network, Bowman (pictured below) stated that at the bare minimum if Osama bin Laden and Al-Qaeda were involved in 9/11 then the government stood down and allowed the attacks to happen. He said it is plausible that the entire chain of military command were unaware of what was taking place and were used as tools by the people pulling the strings behind the attack.
