Britain: Military testimony indicates Bloody Sunday cover-up

By Steve James

Back to screen version| Send this link by email | Email the author

The Saville Tribunal was formed to investigate the attack by the British Army on a
civil rights march through Derry, Northern Ireland, on 30 January 1972, which came
to be known as Bloody Sunday.

Set up as part of the Good Friday Agreement that established the currently
suspended Northern Ireland Assembly, the tribunal was intended to draw a line under
perhaps the most pivotal event in recent Irish history and help Irish Republican Sinn
Fein takes its place in the Stormont-based power-sharing structures put in place by
the 1998 Agreement.

After three years of hearings, numerous statements have been taken from
eyewitnesses, victims, journalists, priests, politicians, forensic scientists and 
soldiers.
These confirm that the British Army had fired indiscriminately into a crowd of largely
peaceful demonstrators, many of whom had been running away and all of whom
were clearly unarmed.

In total, 13 people died immediately and another later on. Thirteen people were
injured. The tribunal has also heard of shots fired at a 10-year-old boy; at
photographer Fulvio Grimaldi, who took many of the most well-known photographs of
the day; and at Bernadette McAliskey, then a leader of the Northern Ireland Civil
Rights Association (NICRA), the march organisers.

Evidence to the inquiry has fatally undermined what little was left of the official 
British
version of events—that soldiers of the First Battalion of the Parachute Regiment (1
Para) were involved in a fire-fight with members of the Irish Republican Army (IRA).

Several witnesses testified to hearing gunfire and explosions prior to 1 Para opening
fire immediately upon spilling from their Saracen armoured cars, but all of these can
be attributed to confusion over the timing of bursts of firing, confusion with previous
firing of plastic bullets, and confusion with previous firing by 1 Para themselves.

Only one gunman appears to have pulled a pistol from his pocket in the crowd, and
this man’s identity is controversial—with suggestions that agents provocateurs were
active in the crowd. An anonymous witness X, who claimed in 1972 to have fired at
soldiers with a carbine, has now denied doing so.

Forensic evidence claiming that those shot had lead residue, indicating they had
recently handled weaponry, was discredited. The tests used could show positive
results from car exhaust fumes, and, in any case, the bodies were both close to
weaponry, having been shot, and were handled by soldiers who had been firing.
Forensic scientist John Martin told the inquiry that this evidence had been available
to the 1972 Widgery Inquiry, but it had been ignored in order to whitewash the army
for the killings.

Evidence was also heard that a nail bomb was planted on one of the victims.

Eyewitness reports from people who saw IRA members on the day confirmed that
they took no part in events. One reported that Martin McGuinness of Sinn Fein—now
Northern Ireland’s education minister, and then an IRA activist—was warning local
gunmen to stay away.

A civil rights organiser said that both the then-official IRA and the breakaway
Provisional IRA had agreed not to become involved on the day and this was
confirmed by a Sunday Times journalist.

In September 2002, the Saville Inquiry moved from Derry to London, England, to
hear evidence from soldiers, army brass, civil servants, a psychological operations
(psy-ops) operative and politicians, most of whom claimed their lives would be in
danger if they gave evidence in Derry.

All the army witnesses have had the option of retaining public anonymity. Three of
the most significant witnesses were Soldier 027, a paratrooper; General Robert Ford,
the commander of land forces in Northern Ireland; Major General Andrew
MacLennan; and Lord Carrington, the then British defence secretary.

Soldier 027 is currently in a witness protection programme, having received death
threats after it became known he was willing to give evidence.

He told the tribunal that he joined the paratroopers at the age of 19 and quickly
adapted to the violent atmosphere. Recruits were told to act as if they were up
against a well-equipped army. Witness 027 gave a graphic description of the
pressures on the soldiers in Belfast’s urban “corridors of hatred”, and their response.
One took to bank robbing, later becoming a mercenary. Others became rich from the
cash offered by desperate people whose houses were being ransacked. Witness
027 described a mock execution in which the victim collapsed and died from a heart
attack.

The night before Bloody Sunday, 027 described how groups of paratroopers,
encouraged by a lieutenant, boasted about how they expected to get “kills” the next
day. He described driving from Belfast to

Sharon takes on rabbis over Jewish identity
Religious and secular clash over right to settle in Israel
Chris McGreal in Jerusalem
Monday December 30 2002
The Guardian


Ariel Sharon has called on religious leaders to make it easier to become a Jew to 
revive the immigration that provides a buffer to the burgeoning Arab population.

The prime minister's remarks follow a call by one of his own cabinet for a ban on 
immigration by secular Jews, exposing a deep divide in the government between those 
who say an influx from the former Soviet Union threatens Israel's religious identity 
and those who increasingly fear the high Arab birthrate.

The ultra-orthodox health minister, Nissim Dahan, revived debate on the issue by 
declaring that secular Jews and those who do not qualify as Jewish under religious 
law, which is more stringent in its definition than government legislation, should not 
be allowed to settle in Israel. We prefer a Jew overseas to a gentile in Israel, he 
said.

But Mr Dahan was quickly shot down by the prime minister, who said: It should be 
possible for anyone who wants to become a Jew to do so.

Israel's establishment is split on the issue. At the heart of the disagreement is the 
decade-long wave of immigration in which about 1 million Russians and citizens of the 
former Soviet republics have come to Israel under the grandfather clause of the Law 
of Return, which permits anyone with a Jewish grandparent to obtain Israeli 
citizenship.

The clause was introduced in 1970 as a response to the Nazi definition of a Jew as 
anyone with a Jewish grandparent.

Orthodox rabbis say that up to 70% of the arrivals in recent years do not qualify as 
Jewish under religious law, which requires an individual's mother to have been Jewish.

The government estimates that 25% of all Russian immigrants are not Jewish according 
to religious law and need to convert. Most do not, partly because the process is 
laborious and partly because the Russian community tends to be secular.

The interior minister and leader of the Shas party, Eli Yishai, says such figures 
threaten the existence of Israel as a Jewish state.

By the end of the year 2010 the state of Israel will lose its Jewish identity, he 
said. A secular state will bring ... hundreds of thousands of goyim [gentiles] who 
will build hundreds of churches and will open more stores that sell pork. In every 
city we will see Christmas trees.

The leftwing Meretz party reinforced the point by bringing a Christmas tree to the 
launch of its election campaign among Russian voters yesterday because it is part of 
the immigrants' tradition.

Mr Yishai and Israel's chief rabbis, Yisrael Meir Lau and Eliyahu Bakshi-Doron, want 
the grandfather clause repealed and the right of return limited to those who are Jews 
as defined by religious law.

But Mr Sharon sees a more important demographic process at work. The higher Arab 
birthrate means that Jews will be outnumbered in Israel and the areas it now governs 
within decades. Arabs already account for 20% of Israeli citizens.

Immigration has fallen to its lowest level since the end of the cold war and Mr Sharon 
is keen to revive it, even if that opens the gates to people of questionable Jewish 
ancestry. The government's view is that while the first generation of each wave of 
immigration may have difficulty embracing Israel and Jewishness, their sons and 
daughters frequently become enthusiastic Zionists. In the present climate, they are 
also often very rightwing.

For political and security reasons, Mr Sharon is not about to alienate Russian 
immigrants by questioning their right to be in Israel.

For a start the Russians, as all immigrants from the former Soviet Union are known in 
Israel, have the voting power to decide who governs. The latest opinion polls show 
that almost all Russian voters have swung behind Mr Sharon because of his hard line in 
dealing with the Palestinians.

But while the Russians are rightwing on security and economic issues, they view 
religious conservatives with suspicion and complain of maltreatment at the hands of 
the orthodox. Many are unable to marry because only religious weddings are permitted 
under Israeli law and the chief rabbis refuse to recognise them as Jewish.

The defence ministry calls up young Russian immigrants to serve in the army while the 
interior ministry denies them rights because they are not deemed Jewish. Some, 
suspected of lying about being Jewish have been subjected to humiliating DNA tests.

The Russian community was particularly outraged when, after a suicide bombing at a Tel 
Aviv disco last year killed 20 young people, rabbis objected to the burial of three 
Russian-born teenagers in Jewish cemeteries because their mothers were not Jewish.

Bring Back the Draft

By CHARLES B. RANGEL

WASHINGTON
President Bush and his administration have declared a war against terrorism that
may soon involve sending thousands of American troops into combat in Iraq. I voted
against the Congressional resolution giving the president authority to carry out this
war — an engagement that would dwarf our military efforts to find Osama bin Laden
and bring him to justice.

But as a combat veteran of the Korean conflict, I believe that if we are going to send
our children to war, the governing principle must be that of shared sacrifice.
Throughout much of our history, Americans have been asked to shoulder the burden
of war equally.

That's why I will ask Congress next week to consider and support legislation I will
introduce to resume the military draft.

Carrying out the administration's policy toward Iraq will require long-term sacrifices
by the American people, particularly those who have sons and daughters in the
military. Yet the Congress that voted overwhelmingly to allow the use of force in Iraq
includes only one member who has a child in the enlisted ranks of the military — just
a few more have children who are officers.

I believe that if those calling for war knew that their children were likely to be 
required
to serve — and to be placed in harm's way — there would be more caution and a
greater willingness to work with the international community in dealing with Iraq. A
renewed draft will help bring a greater appreciation of the consequences of decisions
to go to war.

Service in our nation's armed forces is no longer a common experience. A
disproportionate number of the poor and members of minority groups make up the
enlisted ranks of the military, while the most privileged Americans are
underrepresented or absent.

We need to return to the tradition of the citizen soldier — with alternative national
service required for those who cannot serve because of physical limitations or
reasons of conscience.

There is no doubt that going to war against Iraq will severely strain military 
resources
already burdened by a growing number of obligations. There are daunting challenges
facing the 1.4 million men and women in active military service and those in our
National Guard and Reserve. The Pentagon has said that up to 250,000 troops may
be mobilized for the invasion of Iraq. An additional 265,000 members of the National
Guard and Reserve, roughly as many as were called up during the Persian Gulf War
in 1991, may also be activated.

Already, we have long-term troop commitments in Europe and the Pacific, with an
estimated 116,000 troops in Europe, 90,000 in the Pacific (nearly 40,000 in Japan
and 38,000 in Korea) and additional troop commitments to operations in Afghanistan,
Bosnia, Kosovo and elsewhere. There are also military trainers in countries across
the world, including the Philippines, Colombia and Yemen.

We can expect the evolving global war on terrorism to drain our military resources
even more, stretching them to the limit.

The administration has yet to address the question of whether our military is of
sufficient strength and size to meet present and future commitments. Those who
would lead us into war have the obligation to support an all-out mobilization of
Americans for the war effort, including mandatory national service that asks
something of us all.

Too many take-aways 'could damage eyesight'

December 31 2002

Too many Chinese take-away meals can damage people's eyesight, researchers
have found.

Scientists found that eating large amounts of monosodium glutamate (MSG), used to
flavour oriental and processed foods, can injure the retina and lead to vision loss.

Rats fed diets high in MSG in Japan developed thinner retinas and began to go blind.

Glutamate is an amino acid which acts as a neurotransmitter, a chemical that sends
signals between nerve cells.

Previous research has already shown that it causes nerve damage when injected
directly into the eye.

But the Japanese study at Hirosaki University was the first to show that eye damage
can be
caused by eating food containing MSG.

Rats were fed three different diets for six months, containing either high or moderate
amounts of MSG, or none.

In animals on the high MSG diet, some retinal nerve layers thinned by as much as 75
per cent.

Tests to measure retinal response to light showed that the rats' vision was impaired.
Those on the moderate diet also suffered damage, but to a lesser extent.

The findings, published in the journal Experimental Eye Research, also showed high
concentrations of MSG in the vitreous fluid which bathes the retina.

MSG bound to molecules on retinal cells and destroyed them, causing secondary
reactions that reduced the ability of the remaining cells to relay electrical signals.

Hiroshi Ohguro, who led the research, acknowledged that large amounts of MSG
were used, New Scientist magazine reported.

Rats in the highest group were fed diets consisting of 20 per cent MSG.

Lesser amounts should be OK, said Ohguro, but the precise borderline amount is
still unknown.

Professor Peng-Tee Khaw, a glaucoma expert at Moorfields Eye Hospital in London,
said the amount of MSG in the highest diet was a lot, lot higher than you'd eat.

But he added: If you're a sodium glutamate junkie then you could potentially run into
problems with your retina.

THE WORLD

In Baghdad, Many Insist Americans Would Regret an Invasion

Saddam Hussein doesn't need his people's love to command their loyalty, Iraqis
contend, saying the U.S. faces a populace primed to fight back.

By Sergei L. Loiko
Special to The Times

December 30 2002

BAGHDAD -- Engineer Qusai Jabbar has a word of advice for Americans who think
Iraqi President Saddam Hussein is so unpopular that ousting his regime will be a
cakewalk: Remember Stalin.

Russia lived under a bloody tyrant for a long time, Jabbar said. This tyrant killed
millions of his own people and sent millions ... to Siberia. But when the big war came,
his people rallied around him and fought like the possessed.

Just as Russians struggled against Nazi Germany's World War II attack regardless
of their feelings toward Soviet dictator Stalin, virtually all Iraqis will fiercely 
resist any
U.S.-led invasion, Jabbar predicts.

You don't need to be in love with Saddam to defend your country to the last, he
said. Americans think they will come here and rule us. They don't know what they
are coming into. If they get food from someone, it will be poisoned. If they turn
around with their back to us, we will stick a knife in it. Snipers will be looking for 
them
from every rooftop.

In Iraq today, talk among artists and intellectuals revolves around United Nations
sanctions, U.N. weapons inspectors and what is widely seen as the prelude to war.
Public anger is fueled by the sanctions, which are viewed as unfair and inhumane,
and by memories of the bombing that Baghdad endured during the 1991 Persian
Gulf War, when a U.S.-led effort drove out Iraqi forces that had taken Kuwait. Iraqis
do not necessarily see their country as the aggressor in that invasion.

You don't know the history of the conflict. Kuwait was stealing our oil, cheating on 
us
all the time, complained Amal Khoderi, 65, an amiable and energetic patron of the
arts in Baghdad. We appealed to the world community many times to stop it, but
nothing was done.

At the busy open-air Rashid Street book market, where men squat to peruse books
in languages including English and Russian, bookseller Hussein Ali, 55, bemoans
what sanctions have done to his life.

A retired high school biology teacher with five children, Ali says he draws a pension
worth just $4 a month. Buying and selling books brings in about $50 a month, which
is nearly enough for his family to live on, he says.

Sanctions are killing us slowly, Ali said. The war will kill us fast.

Abdul Khalak, a novelist who sports a Saddam Hussein-type mustache, shared his
views at a cafe frequented by writers and students. A color portrait of Hussein hung
on the wall, in this case with the beaming strongman holding not his usual gun but a
cup of coffee. Some of the customers were smoking traditional narghiles, or water
pipes.

Khalak said the U.N. inspectors' work reminds him of a most boring Indian movie
which goes around in circles and never ends.

You want to stand up and leave the movie theater, he said. Right now, our problem
is that we can't. We have to watch it to the end. And the end is bitterly predictable:
The U.S. may attack us any second with no respect for what the inspectors find or do
not find.

Broad willingness to rally around the government in the face of any U.S.-led invasion
comes partly from a widespread belief that Washington is not being honest about its
motives, said Wamidh Nadhmi, a political analyst who teaches at Baghdad
University.

What Americans really care for is oil -- and help to Israel, he said. They are not
concerned with the fate of human rights and freedoms in Iraq.

War seems almost inevitable to many Iraqis.

One day, when Americans maybe understand us better, they will see that we are not
animals eating human flesh, said Khoderi, who occasionally stuck small, even
pieces of dry wood into her fireplace to cut the winter chill. Thousands of years of
civilization can't be discarded and downtrodden just like this. But I am afraid that
Americans -- I mean those Americans who are prepared to give orders to bomb us
out of existence -- don't have an understanding of history and the meaning of it. They
don't care.

Khoderi was speaking in a house overlooking the Tigris River in old Baghdad that
now serves as an art salon, museum, shop and center for music recitals.

A two-story brick-and-wood structure on a gray and dusty street, it boasts arched
ornamental ceilings, a walled-in garden with palm trees and flowers, and hundreds of
craft items ranging from drawings to carpets and elaborate calligraphy tapestries.
Agatha Christie used to stay in the house when she visited Baghdad, Khoderi said.

During the Gulf War, when the United States bombed a bridge just a hundred yards
from her home, the attack also destroyed half the house, which she inherited from
her father. After that, she was determined to rebuild.

Air Force Officer Disciplined for Saying
Bush Allowed September 11 Attacks

Hijacker Attended US military School

By Jerry Isaacs
21 June 2002



A US Air Force officer in California recently accused President Bush of deliberately

allowing the September 11 terror attacks to take place. The officer has been relieved
of his command and faces further discipline. The controversy surrounding Lt. Col.
Steve Butler's letter to the editor, in which he affirmed that Bush did nothing to warn
the American people because he needed this war on terrorism, received scant
coverage in the media.

Universally ignored by the press, however, was that the officer was not merely
expressing a personal opinion. He was in a position to have direct knowledge of
contacts between the US military and some of the hijackers in the period before the
terrorist attacks that destroyed the World Trade Center and damaged the Pentagon.

Lieutenant Colonel Butler, who wrote in a letter to the editor of the Monterey County
Herald charging that Bush knew about the impending attacks, was vice chancellor
for student affairs at the Defense Language Institute in Monterey, California — a US
military facility that one or more of the hijackers reportedly attended during the
1990s.

In his May 26 letter to the newspaper, Butler responded to Bush supporters, who had
written the paper opposing the congressional investigation into the September 11
events. He wrote:

Of course President Bush knew about the impending attacks on America. He did
nothing to warn the American people because he needed this war on terrorism. His
daddy had Saddam and he needed Osama. His presidency was going nowhere. He
wasn't elected by the American people, but placed in the Oval Office by a
conservative supreme court. The economy was sliding into the usual Republican pits
and he needed something on which to hang his presidency This guy is a joke.
What is sleazy and contemptible is the President of the United States not telling the
American people what he knows for political gain.

The letter provoked immediate retaliation against the 24-year Air Force veteran.
Butler was transferred from the Monterey installation and threatened with court
martial under Article 88 of the military code, which prohibits officers from publicly
using contemptuous words against the president and other officials.

Last week the Air Force announced it had concluded its investigation of the case and
suggested Butler would likely face nonjudicial punishment, such as a fine or a letter
of reprimand, rather than a stiffer sentence. If he refuses this punishment, however,
Butler, who is ready to retire, could still face a court martial.

The issue is a particularly sensitive one for the Pentagon and the Bush
administration. While many people believe that the Bush administration viewed
September 11 as a priceless opportunity to implement an ultra-reactionary program
of militarism and repression, Butler is different. His military assignment brought him
into contact with at least one of the alleged hijackers.

Shortly after September 11, several US news outlets reported that Saeed
AlghamdiÑnamed as taking part in the hijacking of United Airlines Flight 93, which
crashed in western PennsylvaniaÑhad taken courses at the Defense Language
Institute, the US military's primary foreign language facility, where Butler was a
leading officer overseeing students (essentially, dean of students).

Alghamdi, a 41-year-old Saudi national, was one of several alleged hijackers,
including accused ringleader Mohamed Atta, who reportedly trained at US military
facilities, according to a series of articles published between September 15 and 17 in
the Washington Post, Newsweek magazine, the New York Times and several other

On September 15, Newsweek reported: U.S. military sources have given the FBI
information that suggests five of the alleged hijackers of the planes used in
Tuesday's terror attacks received training at secure U.S. military installations in the
1990s.

The magazine said that Saeed Alghamdi was among three who had taken flight
training at the Navy Air Station in Pensacola, FloridaÑknown as the cradle of US
Navy aviationÑwhich also administers training of foreign aviation students for the

The British Gangster Strategy for Conquering the World

The military strategists of the British Empire have long had an actual plan for the
military conquest and enslavement of the entire planet, and this plan for global
conquest was based on the military realities which they believed any would-be world
conqueror would encounter.

The British strategic plan for world conquest and the military perspective which it is
based upon both predate World War One, and both probably existed long before
that. The earliest known statement of this plan for world conquest was expressed by
imperial strategist Halford Mackinder, who outlined the central global strategic
problem in 1904 in a letter to the British Royal Geographical Society. The letter was
entitled, The Geographical Pivot of History. The most pertinent part of this letter 
is
quoted later on, and requires only a minimum of reading between the lines.

The most recent significant restatement of this plan for world conquest was made by
Zbigniew Brzezinski, who asserted that world domination would require the conquest
of the center of the Eurasian landmass. They also believed that if they did not seize
the Eurasian interior, whoever was in possession of it would have the global strategic
edge, and would thus likely ultimately go on to conquer the world.

Here’s why they formed this military perspective. Britain was a naval power, and
therefore, as a rule of thumb, they could apply military force with relative ease near
the shores of the oceans anywhere on the globe. That was the good news. The bad
news was that the further from the coast their military objective was, the harder it 
was
to apply force to it. The invading British armies were tethered to their fleets, 
because
their armies needed the re-supply and the firepower support of their navy.

Look at a map of the world. You will see that the area furthest from any ocean is the
deep interior of the Eurasian land mass. The British reasoned that if they could
conquer the Eurasian interior, they would then be able to apply force from this region
against the neighboring countries while the British fleet would attack as usual against
their coastal regions. Thus Russia, China, India and all of Europe would be forever
under British military dominance, and thereby be eliminated as competitors in the
struggle for world conquest. They reasoned that the remainder of the globe was a far
lesser military challenge, which could be managed with relative military ease by the
British fleet, and thus easily accessible coastal regions of the remainder of the world
were not the focus of their military plans as was the absolutely vital Eurasian 
interior.

One of the agenda items of the British Empire is the culling of most of the people on
the planet Earth. They also intend that the mass of the remaining population will be
reduced to peasant social status, and kept in perpetual ignorance so that any revolt
against their overlords will be impossible. By these means they intend to establish a
global empire which will rule the world for all time without any possibility of being
overthrown, either by any competing empires, which will all have been eliminated, or
by the peasants, who will be held in perpetual bondage and therefore likewise unable
to rise up against the oligarchs.

The following quoted passage is from a letter written by British imperial strategist
Halford Mackinder to the British Royal Geographical Society. The letter was entitled,
The Geographical Pivot of History.

As we consider this rapid review of the broader currents of history, does not a
certain persistence of geographical relationship become evident? Is not the pivot
region of the world’s politics that vast area of Euro-Asia which is inaccessible to
ships, but in antiquity lay open to the horse riding nomads, and is today about to be
covered with a network of railways. There have been and are here the conditions of a
mobility of military and economic power of a far-reaching and yet limited character.
Russia replaces the Mogul empire. Her pressure on Finland, on Scandinavia, on
Poland, on Turkey, on Persia, on India, on China replaces the centrifugal raids of the
steppe-men. In the world at large she occupies the central strategically position held
by Germany in Europe. In conclusion, it may be well expressly to point out that the
substitution of some new control of inland area for that of Russia would not tend to
reduce the geographical significance of the pivot point. Were the Chinese, for
instance, organized by the Japanese, to overthrow the Russian Empire and conquer
its territory, they might constitute the Yellow Peril to the world’s freedom.

The following passage is quoted from the book, The Grand Chessboard: American
Primacy And Its Geostrategic Imperatives, which was written by
Zbigniew Brzezinski in 1997.

In that context, how America 'manages' Eurasia is critical. Eurasia is the globe's

PRESIDENT BUSH DEMONSTRATES REPUBLICAN INCLUSIVENESS IN YEAR-
END OUTREACH TO SELECT DISSENTERS
Statement by the President


THE PRESIDENT: Please be seated. This morning, with the stock market and the
year 2002 winding down fast, I thought now might be an OK time to put down my war
bongos for five or six minutes and turn my attention to happenings right here in my
own back yard. And so I looked out the window, and what did I see just past the
attack dogs and electrified razorwire fence? Protesters. Several groups of them, in
fact. So I pulled out the high-powered sniper's scope I like to use to get a closer 
look
whenever packs of un-American trash gather outside my gate to bitch and moan like
a bunch of menstruating women.

Well you can imagine my surprise when I trained my crosshairs on one particularly
boisterous group and, expecting to see a pack of tie-dye wearing peacenik vegetards
chanting Joan Baez songs and braiding each others' armpit hair, instead found
myself gazing upon my dear friend Pastor Fred Phelps and his Spirit-filled
parishioners from the Westboro Baptist Church. They were plenty angry, too -
working themselves up into a right frenzy while gay-bashing Massachusetts
Congressman Barney Fag, I mean, Frank in effigy with a brick, a plunger handle, a
cage of squealing gerbils, and a Stihl chainsaw.

Well friends, I must tell you that at first I was delighted! At last, a group of 
decent Red
State family values Christians contributing a much-needed dose of fair and balanced
Bible-based political discourse to the leftist crybaby circus that usually dominates 
that
sidewalk. But then I saw them - off to the side - the signs, the awful horrible
Westboro protest signs suggesting that my administration bends over for the homos.

(Gasps.)

Believe me for a minute when I say I was as shocked as you are. Now as I've said
many times before, I'm a loving kind of guy, and I want people to know that it pains
me down to my compassionate conservative pelvis when folks are displeased with
me for things that I've done (unless of course it's something righteous like easing up
on drinking water arsenic limits or wasting all those darkies and retards on Texas'
death row). And since the things I've done since moving into this White House can
be counted on this one hand, it hurts like the dickens to be criticized for any one of
those three things I've accomplished. But I have to tell you, it's downright agonizing
when folks are mad at me for things that just aren't true. And that was exactly the
case here. Sure, I may have spent a few minutes talking to those hop scotching Log
Cabin Republicans a few months back, but really and truly, my administration and I
are about as cozy with faggots as your average Arab is with a stick of deodorant. And
as a loyal Republican and former cheerleader, the only thing that makes me recoil
behind closed doors quicker than a Negro who forgets his place is a homo who
shows up at my place!

But at the end of the day, even though I know that the upstanding America-lovers of
Westboro Baptist Church may be wrong about me personally, I still support their
Constitutional right to make small factual errors while pursuing the greater good of
their holy campaign to cleanse these United States of immorality and pigheaded
minorities that demand to follow their own stupid ideas about how they should live
their own lives.

You know, some people say that my administration doesn't tolerate dissent. Of
course that's not true, but my pollsters are nevertheless sensitive to that perception,
which is why today, in the spirit of the strong inclusiveness the Republican Party
realized it always had once that mean old coon-hater Trent Lott stepped down, I
wanted to offer a little olive branch to these dissenters.

Now, therefore, I, George W. Bush, President of the United States of America, by
virtue of the authority vested in me by the Supreme Court of the United States, do
hereby pardon this particular group of ill- informed yet loving protesters, thereby
exempting them from Attorney General Ashcroft's standard dissenter regimen of
secret wiretaps, drugged abductions for subcutaneous GPS tracker inplantations,
and aggressive annual tax audits until 2014. And this isn't just because Reverend
Phelps and John Ashcroft are friends who have passed countless venomous reptiles
between each other in cinderblock churches and revival tents over the past twenty
years.

(Applause.)

Thank you. Tis the season.

 Bush's Moonshine Policy

 By Mary McGrory
   George W. Bush ends the year with a genuine nuclear crisis on his hands. He has 
been assiduously trying to foment one with Iraq, dropping bombs on the country and 
expletives on its leader. But North Korea, which is not just suspected of working on 
the bomb but of having at least two, has muscled Saddam Hussein off the front pages 
and made our crusade against Baghdad seem crass: We're starting a war not just for oil 
or for Ariel Sharon but because we can win it.

  North Korea is a different story. It has a million men under arms. It has a built-in 
hostage situation at hand in the presence of 37,000 U.S. soldiers who guard South 
Korea. Kim Jong Il, the Communist leader of North Korea, almost makes Saddam Hussein 
look like Rotarian of the Year. While Hussein is welcoming U.N. arms inspectors, Kim 
is throwing them out. He has dismantled the international surveillance equipment 
installed by a treaty in 1994; he has announced he is going to make all the 
weapons-grade plutonium he wants. He is, in short, behaving like the radioactive 
lunatic he is.

  And what is George W. Bush, defender of the free world, scourge of terrorists, doing 
about all this? As of this moment, nothing.

  As far as we can see, he seems to feel that not speaking to the North Koreans is the 
solution. Isolation and marginalization will bring these rogues to heel? A leader 
who will starve his own people to feed his military machine, whose father invaded his 
neighbor, who shows no acquaintance with reality, will be cowed by a snub from 
Washington?

  The president has asked North Korea's neighbors to warn Kim Jong Il of the 
consequences of his horrendous behavior. Up to now, the Japanese have reported 
themselves as scared to death. Russia and China seem to have a million other things to 
do. The incoming chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Richard Lugar 
(R-Ind.), says we should talk and talk and talk to the outlaws. His is a lone voice.

  Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld exhibited a reflex swagger response. The North 
Koreans better watch out. They mustn't think for a minute we couldn't wage war against 
them. Just in time for Christmas, he brought our war list up to three -- the one 
against al Qaeda, which we seem to have forgotten, the one brewing in Iraq -- and now 
Pyongyang?

  We should perhaps remember that President Bush has never liked talking to Koreans. 
His first overseas visitor was the estimable Kim Dae Jung, whom Bush snubbed.

  Bush, as he was eager to demonstrate, was not a fan. Kim's sin? He was instituting a 
sunshine policy with the North, ending a half-century of estrangement. Bush, who 
looked upon North Korea as the most potent argument for his obsession to build a 
national missile defense, saw Kim, a Nobel Peace Prize winner, as nothing but trouble. 
He sent him home humiliated and empty-handed.

  Kim's successor, Roh Moo Hyun, may be even worse. He is a passionate advocate of the 
sunshine policy, and he seeks a more mature relationship with the United States -- 
bad news for Bush.

  This ugly international set-to occurs just when the president has scored his most 
dazzling domestic political triumph. The hullabaloo over Trent Lott, the prospective 
leader of the Senate, was caused by Lott's letting the cat out of the bag on the 
subject of the Republicans' covert Southern strategy. Lott told a birthday party for 
Strom Thurmond what everyone has always known: The strategy was based on race. 
Republicans were mortified.

 Then Bush apprentice Karl Rove stepped in and saved the day. Bush and Rove engineered 
Lott's resignation and the substitution of glamorous Bill Frist of Tennessee, 
literally a medicine man, who spends his off-time flying his own plane to Africa to 
minister to AIDS patients. Bush issued a sharp criticism of Lott's remarks and 
nourished the Frist boomlet into a surge, all the while insisting through his 
spokesman that he did not think Lott should resign.

  Republicans are delighted. In an assembly largely given over to small minds and big 
egos, Frist's aura as a healer and his proclivity for rendering first aid on Capitol 
Hill make him a romantic figure. It's like getting Lord Byron on your condo board.

  The finesse of the operation was universally applauded. The qualities displayed -- 
the regard for the other guy's sensibilities, the willingness to forgo credit, are 
ones that can be successful in foreign policy negotiations. Bush could never send 
Jimmy Carter or Bill Clinton to represent him in the deadly and proliferating tension 
in North Korea -- he blames them for coddling Pyongyang. But he might send Karl Rove. 
He knows how the game is played.

How Bush Is Screwing Korea

By Barbara O'Brien

He is, it has been suggested, ineffectual, lazy, stupid ...an empty figurehead -- or 
all
of the above, writes Martin Sieff of UPI .

Bush? No, Kim Jong Il of North Korea. (Gotcha!)

However, Sieff also writes that Kim Jong Il may not be stupid and ineffectual at
all.He's more likely cunning and ruthless.Further, he's believed to already have one
or two nuclear bombs and could have several more within months.

And President George W. Bush, who is not only ineffectual, lazy, etc. but also
arrogant and reckless, has turned what was a delicate butimproving situation into a
disaster.

Republicans and most of the news media are spinning the current nuclear standoff
with Korea asthe faultof the Clinton Administration's too-soft policies. The truth is
thatwe are facing nuclear meltdown in Asia as a direct result of George W.
Bush'sham- handedmishandling of both North and South Korea.

George W. Bush ends the year with a genuine nuclear crisis on his hands,as
opposed to the ersatz nuclear crisis in Iraq, Mary McGrory writes in the Washington
Post. [  McGrory,  Bush's Moonshine Policy,The Washington Post,December 29,
2002 ]

**

War Averted, or Just Postponed?

Understanding the current Korean crisis requires re-visiting the last Korean crisis.

In 1994, the prospect of U.S. sanctions over North Korea's nuclear weapons
program almost triggered a war. The North Koreans expelled inspectors from the
International Atomic Energy Agency and threatened to begin production of plutonium.
Military experts believed the combined forces of the United States and South Korea
could defeat North Korea (of course, we've heard that one before), but at great cost,
especially to South Korea.

Conflict wasavoided when former U.S. President Jimmy Carter went to Pyongyang to
broker a compromise.

President Carter explains,

It was the policy of the United States to reject any direct talks with North Korean
leaders. Responding to a standing invitation from North Korean President Kim Il
Sung and with the approval of President Bill Clinton, I went to Pyongyang and helped
to secure an agreement that North Korea would cease its nuclear program at
Yongbyon and permit I.A.E.A. inspectors to return to the site to assure that the spent
fuel was not reprocessed. In return, the United States and our allies subsequently
assured the North Koreans that there would be no nuclear threat to them, that a
supply of fuel oil would be provided to replace the power lost by terminating the
Yongbyon nuclear program and that two modern nuclear plants would also be
provided, with their fuel supplies to be monitored by international inspectors. [ 
Carter,
Engaging North Korea, The New York Times, October 27, 2002 ]

North Korean President Kim Il Sung died in 1994 and was replaced by his son, the
afore-mentioned Kim Jong Il. Under the son's tender stewardship an estimated 2
million North Koreans starved to death.

The Monterey Institute of International Studies maintains a good onlinearchive and
chronology on North Korea and nuclear weapons inspections. Perusal of this archive
reveals the North Koreans were never cooperative with the inspectors, and the
United States, the United Nations, and South Koreawere fully aware of this. Building
of the light-water nuclear reactors was delayed. And in 1998, North Korea tested a
long-range ballistic missile.

However, South Korean President Kim Dae Jung, elected in 1998,began a Sunshine
Policy to lessen tensions and build reconciliation between North and South Korea.

In June 2000 the North and South Korean leaders held a historic three-day summit in
Pyongyang, the first such contact in 50 years. They signed a pact in which they
agreed to work towardreunification. They also agreed to allow reunions of families
separated during the Korean War and to pursue a balanced development of their
national economies, and build mutual trust by accelerating exchanges in the social,
cultural, sports, health, and environmental sectors.

In December 2000, SouthKorea's Kim Dae Jungwas presented with the Nobel Peace
Prize in recognition of his efforts to establish relations with Communist North Korea.

Although it was well understood that North Korea remained dangerous, the steps
toward reconciliation were making real progress and reducing tensions. The Clinton
Administration believed that after years of food shortages and economic
decline,North Korea sawcooperation with the outside world as the best way to bring
prosperity without giving up power like the communists of eastern Europe.

Would Kim Dae Jung's Sunshine Policy have succeeded? A conference held March
2001 at th e School of Foreign Service, Georgetown University , concluded it was too
early to tell. This means we'll never know.

Unknown to most, UNOCAL's partner in the Cent-Gas trans-Afghan pipeline
consortium, the Saudi Company Delta Oil is owned by the bin Mahfouz and Al-
Amoudi clans which allegedly have ties to bin Laden’s Al Qaeda.

According to a 1998 Senate testimony of former CIA director James Woolsey,
powerful financier Khalid bin Mahfouz’ younger sister is married to Osama bin
Laden,. (US Senate, Senate Judiciary Committee, Federal News Service, 3 Sept.

Bin Mahfouz is suspected to have funnelled millions of dollars to the Al Qaeda

time-wise. I suggest there is logic to the reckoning of time and space, a
logic of numbers based upon my number references.

And one of the Bible's extremely important numbers is 126, because 1,260
days is 'time, times and half a time' and is a 'Time Law' period.

The Order of the Illuminati formed on May 1st 1774 (not 1776) and counting
to two full years after December 22nd 2012 that is the 'horrific' December
22nd 2014, is 756 years /Pi at 240.6422 years. And 756 is 6 times 126, a
reference number for the Order of the Illuminati, that is Burning Torch, for
this organization are the 'Light Bearers' of the Adversary.

Counting Israel Down

There seems to me to be circumstantial evidence that the new State of Israel
has been numbered for destruction.

Another important number is the Ancient Hebrew cubit of the Sanctuary at
20.8 inches, and as 2,080,000 days less 10% is the Maya Long Count of
1,872,000 days of 13 periods of 144,000 days, an Age ending December 22nd
2012.

And to show how this works out, I use the Two Time Pillars of September 11th
2001 and February 1st 2003 (which I suggest could be a very bad day for
Israel).

Yom Kippur War, October 6th 1973 to 5pm May 14th 1948 is 25.395042 years.

Yom Kippur War, October 6th 1973 to September 11th 2001 is 27.931553 years.

Yom Kippur War, October 6th 1973 to February 1st 2003 is 29.32373 years.

And the three time periods multiplied is 20,800 that is the Sun time
controller.

Six Day War, June 5th 1967 (3.15am) to September 11th 2001 is 34.267945
years.

Six Day War, June 5th 1967 (3.15am) to February 1st 2003 is 35.660148 years.

And both period multiplied is 1,222, which is a diabolical number.

For 1,222 is made up of 227 x 3 + 126 x 2, that is Blood x the Burning Lamp.

Another make of 1,222 is 611 + 611, that is the Serpent Rouge at 289 + the
Skull and Bones at 322. Thus two sided flag, which is the Alien Flag and the
Jolly Roger. Whereas 1,222 can also be made up of the Biblical Beast at 933
+ the Serpent Rouge at 289.

The Yom Kippur War - Six Day War

The reference number for the Yom Kippur War at 2,080,000 is equivalent to
the Six Day War at 1,222 x 1,222 x 1.3929031 years.

And September 11th 2001 + 1.3929031 years is 6am February 1st 2003.

So the two important wars against Israel are seemingly locked into the Twin
Time Pillars, of September 11th 2001 and February 1st 2003.

The Statue of Liberty holding the 'Burning Torch' and the Twin Time Pillars

And the pedestal at 154 feet + the figure at 151 feet I inch is 305 feet I
inch or 305.083334 feet x 40 lots and divided by 24 hours is 508.47223 days,
or 1.392227 years and counting from September 11th 2001 is 12.18am February
1st 2003.

And Thomas Jefferson who said that both the blood of the enemy and patriots,
are to feed the Tree of Liberty, that is Miss Liberty, who stand at the
entrance to New York harbor, also called 'Liberty Enlightening the World'
and commemorates the 100th anniversary of American independence thanks to
France.

Thus I suggest that February 1st 2003 could indeed be a day when Israel has
a problem, and a day that could be a Ring of Fire outside of Israel herself.

Lets hope some of us do have a prosperous New Year.

Sure, First Human Clone and Lott Heads KKK get max ink. That's what
sells papers, pumps ratings and keeps the conglomerate cash registers
ringing.

But doesn't our media have a moral responsibility to inform the public
about potentially serious disasters just a sand dune away?

Except for last month's all-too-brief CNN report, followed by an equally
brief Associated Press release, apparently not.

We're only weeks away from sending our troops into the poisonous caldron of
Desert Storm II, where casualties could be as catastrophic as the last time
our soldiers stood tall in that unforgiving desert and suffered at least
160,000 disabled and dying WIA (Wounded in Action) and 10,000 KIABGN
(Killed in Action by Government Neglect).

But the injuries were for the most part self-inflicted, caused by U.S.
military incompetence rather than the sort of horror-filled missiles and
shells our soldiers might well run into this time around if and when we
find Saddam's doomsday weapons the hard way.

Concerned members of outfits such as Soldiers For The Truth and the
National Gulf War Resource Center have done everything but torch themselves
into crispy critters to get this story front and center.

SFTT's Robert McMahon has contacted almost every major news outlet in
America, pleading for coverage. Maybe some parents and spouses would like
to know that Iraq's Republican Guard won't be the most insidious enemy
their loved ones will be facing, he wrote.

The insidious enemy McMahon refers to is in part the Iraqi battlefield
itself, a death pit of spent radiation and bio-chem weaponry served up with
a lethal cocktail of local bugs, deadly fumes and poisons that still
haven't been fully identified after a decade of medical research. And then
there's the enemy within, the far-from-adequate bio-chem protection and
detection gear earmarked for our grunts.

According to a Pentagon report, about 130,000 troops who were downwind when
U.S. Army engineers destroyed a weapons depot were exposed to low levels of
sarin. Now epidemiologist Dr. Robert Haley has published a footlocker full
of studies suggesting there might actually be 200,000 Gulf War vets with
illnesses linked to brain damage resulting from exposure to sarin-like
toxins. And many vets and scientists believe other sarin exposures occurred
in January 1991 when allied bombs destroyed Iraqi ammo dumps. A recent U.S.
General Accounting Office report states serious problems still persist
regarding the protective masks, suits and detection gear. And a December
2002 Army report states that more than half of its protective masks and
nearly all of its chemical-weapons alarms are either completely broken or
not fully operational.

A Pentagon spokeswoman has counterattacked, insisting the Pentagon has
substantially improved individual protective garments, gas masks and
chemical detectors since the Gulf War.

But a line sergeant I'd trust with my life says, The only improvement I've
seen since the Gulf War is now that we have the M-40 Protective Mask
instead of the M-17A1, we can change our filters without committing
suicide.

Why won't the media or Congress touch this story when we could be only
weeks away from destroying the lives of another generation of American
heroes? Is it the prevailing attitude that war is a nasty business, but our
all-volunteer force signed up for it? Or is it just that no one who could
make a difference cares about blue-collar bio-chem fodder mainly from
metropolitan slums or small-town America?

Maybe the media are displaying such a total lack of interest in whether our
GI Joes and Janes will make it through Saddam's nightmare simply because
most haven't served and can't identify with a fighting force made up of
kids who come from poor families with nada political pull in an America
that's fast becoming too much like England, circa 1600 - a land of serfs
and the privileged who sit above the salt. Kids who are primarily from the
wrong side of the railroad tracks where the used pickup trucks are parked,
who didn't go to Yale, Stanford or the other elite schools in between. The
same kids who've filled body bags and been screwed over by Veterans Affairs
since the Greatest Generation members were given their due during and after
World War II.

And nothing's going to change until the draft calls up each and every one
of America's boys and girls to defend Old Glory.

Re: [CTRL] Air Defense Is Key

2002-12-31 Thread Jay Lowry

The perpetrators of 9-11 know that air is the key, at least to waging a war that maintains a mandate, i.e. one that involves few American deaths. Air 'defense' is the key to getting Afghanistan first too, in the war on the world. Khyber pass provides access to HIGH GROUND. Launch a cruise missile from the Himalayas and you increase its range.

-Caveat Lector- http://reese.king-online.com/Reese_20021230/index.phpAir Defense Is Keyby Charley ReeseI don't know if Iraq has chemical or biological weapons. It is certain that Iraq has no nuclear weapons. If Iraq is smart, it will have gotten rid of its chemical and biological weapons so it can concentrate on getting the sanctions lifted. Then, once Iraq's economy is repaired, it can resume the weapons programs if it wants to.We have to face the fact that how to make a nuclear weapon is, for all practical purposes, common knowledge these days. The United States did not want India and Pakistan to develop nuclear weapons, but they did, and they did it entirely with local talent. The Israelis also did it, though the United States was too chicken to even protest. Knowledge is very difficult to ban or to banish.There are a lot of lies floating around in this buildup to war. I have no doubt that the president intends to go to war at the end of January regardless of what the inspectors find or don't find. That's a mistake, but as our elected president, Mr. Bush has two more years in which to make mistakes.At any rate, one of the dumbest lies floated out of Washington is that Saddam Hussein needs weapons of mass destruction to stay in power. This is put out as a weak argument for the claim that he must have them. In fact, it's a stupid statement. No dictator in human history has ever relied on weapons of mass destruction to stay in power. Saddam controls the Iraqis the old-fashioned way — with a secret police, a network of informers and conventional torture and execution. That works just fine.The Iraqis used chemical weapons against the Kurds when the Kurds had sided with Iran, which was also using chemical weapons against the Iraqis. There is even some question, according to an Army War College study, whether the Kurds in that well-publicized attack were killed by the Iraqis or the Iranians. Both armies were in the vicinity, and both were using chemical weapons — as, by the way, we, the British and the French used them in World War I. I don't recall anyone calling Woodrow Wilson or Gen. John Pershing a war criminal.Nevertheless, what Iraq really needs is an air-defense system. In that part of the world, the outcome of the war depends on control of the skies. No tank — not even our Abrams, which is the finest in the world — has any defenses at all against an aircraft. Therefore, to move troops and tanks, you have to control the skies. The technological superiority of the United States and Israel in aircraft and supporting systems is what makes them the 800-pound gorillas in conventional war.Offensive air capability has far outrun conventional air-defense systems, and you can bet your family car that in Russia, China, India and Pakistan, to name just a few, scientists and engineers are working to achieve a breakthrough in air defenses. If such a breakthrough is ever achieved, then the balance of power will readjust itself, and the outcomes of wars will become more iffy. The history of war science is that as soon as one advantage is achieved, work begins on how to counter it. But until air defense catches up with air offensive systems, the United States will enjoy the dubious privilege of whacking any small country it wishes to whack.I personally would take great pleasure in that, except that the existence of the power seems to tempt political leaders to use it in ways that in the long run are not in our national interest. Too often it seems we are more bully than protector, more arrogant than wise. We can destroy Iraq, but we cannot avoid the consequences of destroying Iraq.

Jews and Christians: Apes and Pigs?

By David Twersky
The New York Sun | December 31, 2002


Following a lesson on the monotheistic faiths, Saudi Arabian
schoolchildren are asked to discuss With what types of weapons
should Muslims arm themselves against the Jews? That question is
part of an official textbook for 8th grade students which also
emphasizes that Jews and Christians were cursed by Allah and turned
into apes and pigs, and that The hour [the Day of Judgment] will
not come until the Muslims fight the Jews and kill them.
The content of the Saudi school curriculum has been the focus of
mounting scrutiny ever since it was disclosed that 15 of the 19
terrorists who hijacked the four airplanes on September 11, 2001 were
Saudi citizens.

Saudi officials insist their nation cannot be blamed for having
produced an overwhelming majority of the September 11 perpetrators
and for the consequences of promoting a radical version of Islam all
over the globe.

But a starkly different view emerges from a preliminary report on
Saudi schoolbooks released by the Washington, D.C.,-based Middle East
Media Research Institute, which specializes in providing translations
of Arabic, Farsi, and Hebrew media.

In the aftermath of 9/11, attention is being drawn to the global
reach of the SAUDI continued from page 1

Saudi educational effort aimed at promoting its particular version of
Islam.

The report cites a book published in 1995 by the Saudi Cultural
Mission, Education in Saudi Arabia, which explains that Saudi
education policy is based on the uncompromising and anti-modern
fundamentalist teachings of the 18th century Sheikh Muhammad Ibn Abd
Al-Wahhab.

According to the MEMRI report, the March 1, 2002, edition of Ayn-Al-
Yaqeen, a weekly news magazine published online by the Saudi royal
family, the Kingdom has committed many billions of Saudi riyals to
building schools around the world. The article claims some 210
Islamic centers wholly or partly financed by Saudi Arabia, more than
1,500 mosques and 202 colleges and almost 2,000 schools for educating
Muslim children in non-Islamic countries in Europe, North and South
America, Australia, and Asia.

A document published by the Saudi Higher Committee for Educational
Policy contains 236 principles that exhort students to promote
loyalty to Islam by denouncing any system or theory that conflicts
with Islamic law. Students are also taught to plant and spread
Islam throughout the world, and to fight spiritually and physically
for the sake of Allah.

From an early age, schoolchildren are taught about Jihad for the
sake of Allah. A textbook for 8th graders instructs students that
according to the prophet Muhammad, Jihad for the sake of Allah
ranks third as a labor…most favored by Allah following Prayers on
time, and love thy parents.

MEMRI reports that the textbook interprets the conversation between
the prophet and his companion as follows: the most important activity
is Jihad for the sake of Allah and the convocation of Allah's
religion on this earth.

By ninth grade, students are ready for The Promise of the Stone and
the Tree — the story of Abu Hurayra, one of the prophet's companions
who quoted the prophet as saying: The hour [the Day of Judgment]
will not come until the Muslims fight the Jews and kill them. A Jew
will [then] hide behind a rock or a tree, and the rock or tree will
call upon the Muslim: `O Muslim, O slave of Allah! There is a Jew
behind me, come and kill him!' — except for the gharqad tree, for it
is one of the trees of the Jews.

Since September 11, Saudi officials are increasingly sensitive to
criticism of their culture and educational system. In

Thomas Sowell

The most astounding fact about our time is its great addiction to the state. Even 
after all the horrors of the past century, people still believe implicitly in the 
state; whereas, if they learned from experience, they would all talk about states in 
general the way Jews talk about Hitler.

where shadows lie. One Ring to Rule them all, One Ring to find them, 
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them In the Land of 
Mordor where the Shadows lie.
The One Ring, that is 1 divided by 1.26 x Blood at 227 x 
Death at 322 and square root x 12 and /Pi and squared x Pi twice, and quartered,

So out of

The stone has both mythological and astronomical

AD1479 that this stone was carved and dedicated to the principal Aztec deity: 
the Sun. 
The creation mother of the Aztec race was called 
"Coatlique", the Lady of the Skirt of Snakes. She was created in the image of 
the unknown, decorated with skulls and snakes. 

The Sun Stones diameter at 11.9702 feet and /2.4 is 
1.26 x 1.26. 
Thus the reference number for the Sun Stone, like the 
Eye of Horus is 126, and 126 is the reference number for the spirit body 
within all humans, and the Burning Torch is 126 and made up of the holder at 17 
and fire at 109. 
The internal height of most notable Gothic cathedral is 
Chartres Cathedral, France, at some 119.7 feet, thus the internal reference 
number for the cathedral is 126, whereas the external length at 427 feet is 7 
times 61, that is the falcon masked Ancient Egyptian god Horus, the merciless 
killer of the sky. Thus a reference for Chartres Cathedral could be 427 + 126 + 
126 is 679 and made up of Bloody Sun Time at 227 for male human blood and Sun 
Time at 452, (and 452 x Pi is 50 Suns days at 28.4 days, one revolution of the 
Sun). 
And the Maya Long Count at 13 periods of 144,000 days 
is 1,872,000 days, ending on December 22nd 2012. With 50,000 Suns 
days at 1,420,000 /Pi + 1,420,000 is 1,872,000.038 days. 

The Ancient Egyptians and the Aztecs 

The Temple of Quetzalcoatl was the Temple of the 52 
year Thank Offering.The 52 year cycle was important and so it would be 
time when hundreds, if not thousands, were sacrificed. And 52 years is 7 days 
less than 19,000 days.So the 730 days after December 22nd 2012 is the 
complete Maya calendar period + 730 days at 1,872,730 days ends December 22nd 
2014 exactly two years after the Maya calendar period of 1,872,000 
days.And I repeat, the Maya calendar of 1,872,000 days comes out of 
Suns Days at 100,000 revolutions of 28.4 Earth days, at 2,840,000 days /Pi + 
2,840,000 is twice 1,872,000 days. And 1,872,000 days is 13 baktun periods of 
144,000 days.
Whereas 19,000 days x 36,000 and /365.242186 days is 
1,872,730 days ending on December 22nd 2014. The Ancient 
Egyptian sarcophagus and Aztec Sun time
So I take the Aztec sacrificial number of 19,000 days x 
Sun time at 28,400,000,000 days x 24 hours x 1.5 lots and this is equivalent to: 
1,872,730 days x 144,000 days x the internal volume of the sarcophagus in the 
Kings Chamber of the Great Pyramid at 72,033.8756 cubic inches.Sir 
Flinders Petrie measured the inside of the granite sarcophagus in the Kings 
Chamber of the Great Pyramid using 388 points of reference for his specially 
made calipers and gauges. The inside measurements were length 78.06 and width 
26.81 and height 34.42 inches, at some 41.686270 cubic feet, at 72,033.8756 
cubic inches.
This calculation of 1,872,730 days speaks for itself, for it 
screams out the Order of the Illuminatis Light Bearer day of December 22nd 
2014, A sarcophagus that I suggest the forces of Darkness are determined 
to fill with millions and millions of dead as a kind of Aztec sacrifice for the 
world, by or on December 22nd 2014, the date thatestablished 
the Order of the Illuminati on May 1st 1774.

HOPI: THREE 'FORCES' OF 'PURIFICATION'

Is the Hopi warning of 'Purification', actually
man-made destruction?

HOPI Traditional 'Purification' Warning:

The final stage, called The Great Day of Purification,
has been described as a Mystery Egg in which the
forces of the Swastika and the Sun plus a third force
symbolized by the color red culminate either in total
rebirth or total annihilation; we don't know which...
.. but the choice is ours.

1] Forces of the Swastika.
2] Forces of the Sun.
3] A Third Force symbolised by the colour RED.

Could these three forces of destruction be:
1] Swastika = New World Order / Covert Government.
2] The Sun = Advanced technology interfering with
the all-important effects of the Sun on Earth.
3] The Colour RED = Worldwide spraying of Chemtrails.



Examine a second Hopi Warning:
We will see a halo of mist around the heavenly bodies.
It will appear around the sun as a warning that we must
reform (form back up into people who can make a
difference?), telling us that people of all color must
unite and arise for survival, and that we must uncover
the causes of our dilemmas. Unless man-made weapons
are used to strike first, peace will then come.
http://www.world-action.co.uk/warning2.html

uncover the causes of our dilemmas = is something
secret and covert going on?
a halo of mist around the stars and sun = what is being
sprayed in our atmosphere? answer equals 'Chemtrails'.
unless man-made weapons are used first = there are
all manner of weapons - many modern weapons cannot
even be seen in operation.

THE SOLUTION TO THESE COVERT AND SECRET
GLOBAL PROBLEMS = people of all color must unite
and arise for survival.. and we must uncover the
causes of our dilemmas.

So, we are being told we are going to have to act
intelligently, and we are all going to have to work
together, for survival.

The Hopi Prophecy Stone shows two routes and
the good route leads onto a wonderful way of life
not known on Earth for a very long time.

Sexuality: Are Slutty Little Girls Empowered?Posted by: Anonymous on Dec 30, 2002 - 06:03 PM
Has the tendency of pop culture to be fetishing the hypersexualization of young teen girls a post feminist self-empowerment or is it merely a recipie for disaster? Have the men of the world done enough post-doc work to allow themselves to be awed that their daughters, their schoolmates, their dating pool, and their neighbors are taking their very oppressed and male-dominated sexuality and taking it back and owning it? Or, will this result in even more rape, date rape, and the lifetime of suffering for Survivors of Sexual and Physical Abuse? And their future partners? I would like to start a discussion to please post any comments and I will come back to discuss.

this may be heavy for survivors

both from L Moss Sharman Masons Ease Secrecy to Ensure Survival - Lodge Allows City Museum to Showcase Key Artifacts Relating to George Washington By Michelle Boorstein Washington Post Staff Writer "...Washington was a member of Lodge No. 4...after Washington's death, suspicion about this elite society grew into a political party -- the first Third Party -- based on anti-Mason sentiment. Masons in the United States split into many factions, including some that practiced rituals criticized as satanic and anti-clericalWith the number of Masons nationwide down about 300,000 since 1996, to fewer than 2 million, the fraternity is trying to be more open to shake loose the stigma of secrecy and attract younger members." http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A49043-2002Dec28.html

A 'classic misuse of power' Children of woman who died in affair with priest speak out By Stephen Kurkjian and Walter V. Robinson, 12/29/02 "By the time Needham police arrived at the modest split-level home at about 5 a.m., the 41-year-old woman was deadNow, the four siblings know from church records that their mother, who was severely depressed, was a victim of yet another priest whose sexual misconduct was overlooked by his superiors. They know that the Rev. James D. Foley began a long and destructive affair with her after she went to him for counseling in the early 1960s. They also know that Foley was with their mother that night in 1973, that he put his clothes on and left when she passed out from the pills, and that she died naked and without help - just a mile and a half from Glover Memorial Hospital. And they read Foley's account in the records that the daughter and the brother closest in age to her are the products of Foley's secret, decade-long affair with their motherChurch reports about Foley's "double life" with women - including their mother - date to 1962, and made their way to Cardinal Richard J. Cushing in 1968 when Foley was banished from the Calgary diocese for his publicly known affairs with women. Nevertheless, the archdiocese that year gave Foley another parish assignment in Haverhill, where he began a long affair with another womanThe siblings, who remain Catholics, said they also cannot comprehend why Cardinal Bernard F. Law and Bishop John B. McCormack decided to keep Foley's secret and return him to a parish after they learned in 1993 how their mother died. The bishops' principal concern, according to the documents: That Foley's misconduct might become public." http://www.boston.com/dailyglobe2/363/metro/A_classic_misuse_of_power_+.shtml

Chile Sect Thrives Despite Criminal Charges By Larry Rohter Parral, Chile - "The group's reclusive leader is accused of sexually abusing scores of young boys. Former political prisoners say they were imprisoned and tortured in underground dungeons in the group's compoundMore than 50 other charges are pending against the group and its leaders, ranging from kidnapping and forced labor to fraud and tax evasion. Yet the paramilitary religious sect known as Colonia Dignidad continues to flourish here in a 70-square-mile enclave in the Andean foothills that remains, in the words of a recent Chilean congressional report, a heavily armed "state within a state." ...Colonia Dignidad has for more than 40 years been the fortress home of about 300 people, most of them German citizens. Their only loyalty is to the sect's German-born founder, Paul Schäfer, who likes to call himself the Permanent Uncle and preaches an apocalyptic creed that includes strong anti-Semitic and anti-Communist elements." http://www.nytimes.com/2002/12/30/international/americas/30CHIL.html

U.S. Played a Key Role In Iraq Military Buildup 
By Michael Dobbs 
Washington Post Staff Writer Monday 30 December 30 2002; Page A01 
* Rumsfeld Visited Baghdad In 1983 as Hussein Used Chemical Weapons 
* Trade in Chemical Arms Allowed Despite Their Use on Iranians, Kurds 
High on the Bush administration's list of justifications for war against Iraq are President Saddam Hussein's use of chemical weapons, nuclear and biological programs, and his contacts with international terrorists. What U.S. officials rarely acknowledge is that these offenses date back to a period when Hussein was seen in Washington as a valued ally. 
Among the people instrumental in tilting U.S. policy toward Baghdad during the 1980-88 Iran-Iraq war was Donald H. Rumsfeld, now defense secretary, whose December 1983 meeting with Hussein as a special presidential envoy paved the way for normalization of U.S.-Iraqi relations. Declassified documents show that Rumsfeld traveled to Baghdad at a time when Iraq was using chemical weapons on an "almost daily" basis in defiance of international conventions.

Conspiracy: Conspiracy Redux ReduxPosted by: chris on Dec 30, 2002 - 11:34 PM
Okay, according to what everything says, this is one whopper of a conspiracy! The conspiracy goes as follows: 
This is a battle between Jesus the Christ and God's former favourite fallen angel, Lucifer (seen in a picture of the WTC Bombing -- the Devil is in the smoke, with the horns and looking a lot like his goatish cliché self). So they are duking it out, but who is on what side, since Alahu Akbar and we are God's country! So, since we are all God's chosen, it must be a war between the NWO (New World Order) and the Gaia Earth Wicca Mother of Father of Sun .
The Illuminati Bilderberg consiracy which is of course based on the Zionist Rockefeller Syndicate.
The CIA Black Ops are running all of the Credit Cards, using the 1/1000th of a penny and funding the Northern Alliance and the Columbians so as to again gain control over Afghan Opium and Columbian Cocaine because taxes and siezures of property cannot keep up with the demand for technology and development.
The Reptilians and the Greys (Grays) are holding their underground lairs and keeping quiet right now as the Universal Galactic Star Federation is considering the Earth as a member based on the the recommendation of the humanoid Aliens, the Aryans.
So, although there has been many more channelings from Ra and the sightings have increased, this is no indication as to the current state of the Indian and Pakistani fight over Kashmir.
18k foot small arms fighting with Oxygen tanks. Fighting and fighting, hoping that the tunnel systems in Languadoc and Malta are not discovered by the NWO. Templar Ninjas and the Jesuit Special forces have been put at full alert and it seems that after many hundreds of years, the Knights Templar might finally be reinstated, although covertly, back into their rightful place as protectors of the obvious first Crusade of the 21st century.
Look out for the red cross, the Rosy Cross, the Rosicrucian -- the images of the Warrior Priests -- the Order of men who vowed to chastity, to poverty, yet built one of the most powerful collectives on the globe!
Two men on one horse. Yes, of course there is an undercurrent of Homoerotic Knights Templar. Not unlike the Spartans and all the Gays in the Military anyway.

Re: [CTRL] A little help from Halley's Comet

Title: Re: [CTRL] Should Israel be prepared for February 1st 2003?
-Caveat Lector-





  A little help from Halleys 
  Comet:-))Halleys Comet comes around every 75 years or 
  so.Edmond Halleys Comet is a Biblical Sign and Wonder.In 
  the spring of 1910 Britain was in great expectation of the heavenly phenomena 
  and were told that the comet reached its closet point to the Sun on April 
  20th. This was an exciting time, and across the Atlantic, New York City was 
  selling telescopes like never before. There were comet themed advertising 
  posters everywhere.Now the Maya Long Count at 1,872,000 days, that of 
  13 periods of 144,000 days ends on December 22nd 2012 whereas + 730 days at 
  1,872,730 days ends on December 22nd 2014, and 756 years /Pi after the 
  establishment of the Order of the Illuminati. And counting from noon 
  April 22nd 1986 the day the Halleys Comet was closest to the Sun, to the end 
  of the Maya Age on December 22nd 2012 is 320 months. Counting from 
  noon April 22nd 1986 to the sacrificial end on December 22nd 2014 is more or 
  less precisely 344 months. And 344 is 8 x 43 and 430 x 4300 /2 is 
  924,500 square feet the Shroud the area covering the four sides of the Great 
  Pyramid. Or 344 x 3/8 is 129 the reference for the Abomination, the 
  Woman in Red. And counting from 6.45pm April 22nd to December 22nd 
  2014 is 10,470 days, and made up of the Serpent-Dragon at 6110 (the Serpent 
  Rouge 2890 + the Skull and Bones 3220) + Fire 1090 + Fire 1090 + Fire 1090 + 
  Fire 1090. So the diabolical reference 6110 uses seemingly a lot of 
  Fire to finish everything. And the Order of the Illuminati at 7,560 
  less 3,440 is 4,120 days that is from September 11th 2001 to December 22nd 
  2012. Thus those who are buried under the Shroud, are later cremated, 
  for dust to dust Just 'beautiful', but terrible, thanks Halley.

Err... the FBI admitted that they had NO IDEA who the highjackers
were, and unless one believes the nonsensical story about finding an
unscorched passport for Mohammed Atta in the WTC debris, there IS no
real evidence that indicates that Saudis, Mossad agents, or actors who
portray Mickey Mouse at Disneyland and Disneyworld were the
perpetrators of 9/11 -- this story presumes that one of the big CNN

Much of what Earth will be able to see of Kudo-Fujikawa is contingent on
the activity that occurs when it is closest to its pass by the sun
(perihelion) on January 28, 2003, Sherrod said. At that point it will be
only 16 million miles (25 million kilometers) from the sun. The average
distance of the Earth from the sun is 93 million miles (150 million

On Native Ground
THE WAR RACKET LIVES ON
by Randolph T. Holhut
American Reporter Correspondent
Dummerston, Vt.

DUMMERSTON, Vt. - The capitalists are so hungry for profits that they will sell us
the rope to hang them with.

This apocryphal quote, attributed to Lenin, springs to mind as I watch the Bush
administration continue its preparations for a U.S. invasion of Iraq.

Buried within Iraq's 12,000-page weapons declaration that was presented earlier this
month to the United Nations is information that the Bush administration found so
embarrassing, it edited out 8,000 pages before it presented the report to the 10 non-
permanent members of the UN Security Council.

What is the Bush administration trying to hide? Perhaps it is the list of U.S.
companies that helped to arm Iraq.

The German newspaper Die Tageszeitung recently published a list of 24 major U.S.
companies named in the Iraqi report that illegally aided that nation's nuclear,
chemical and biological weapons programs in the 1980s. Some of the familiar names
on the list include Hewlett Packard, Honeywell, Du Pont, Rockwell, Eastman Kodak,
Bechtel and Unisys. Only Germany (which had 80 firms aiding Iraq, some as recently
as last year), had more business ties to Iraq than the U.S.

In addition, Die Tageszeitung reported that the U.S. government itself offered plenty
of assistance to Saddam Hussein's weapons programs. The Departments of Energy,
Defense, Commerce and Agriculture all covertly assisted Iraq's weapons programs
in the 1980s. Even the Livermore, Los Alamos and Sandia nuclear weapons
laboratories pitched in by training Iraqi nuclear scientists and giving them 
non-fissile
material for construction of a nuclear bomb.

To see the Bush administration accuse Iraq of deception in the UN dossier while
censoring the same report to protect U.S. corporations and the government itself
from scrutiny in arming Iraq is merely the latest example of President Bush's brazen
hypocrisy in trying to ram a phony war down our throats.

Seeing U.S. companies arming potential enemies for fun and profit is nothing new. In
the years leading up to World War II, several major corporations aided the fascist
cause up to and, in some cases, well after Pearl Harbor.

Henry Ford supported Adolf Hitler and lent the Nazis money from the early 1920s
until the start of the war. The House of Morgan fronted Italian dictator Benito
Mussolini $100 million to keep his government from going bankrupt and many other
American banks lent money to Hitler and Mussolini.

Standard Oil (Esso then, Exxon now) and Texaco both sold gasoline and other
petroleum products to Francisco Franco's army in Spain and to the German and
Italian military forces up to and after Pearl Harbor. Esso was a member of the same
industrial cartel as I.G. Farben and shared patents with the Germans for making high
octane aviation fuel and synthetic rubber.

Other corporations that were members of Nazi cartels included Alcoa, General
Electric, General Motors and Du Pont. GM's Opel subsidiary in Germany built the
planes and tanks for the Panzer divisions all the while GM dragged its heels at home
building equipment for the U.S. military.

Pratt  Whitney, Curtiss-Wright and Douglas Aircraft all sold aircraft parts to Hitler.
Curtiss- Wright salesmen demonstrated the then-secret technique of dive bombing
to the Germans in order sell its planes.

The histories of the Good War tend to gloss over this stuff, but all of this was
documented by the late muckraking journalist George Seldes in his 1943 book,
Facts and Fascism. And, if the revelations in the UN dossier are true, nothing much
has changed in the decades since World War II. Given the track record of American
capitalism, there's no reason not to doubt otherwise.

Marine Corps Major General Smedley Butler laid it out back in 1935 when he wrote
that war is a racket. It always has been. It is possibly the oldest, easily the most
profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one in which the profits are 
reckoned
in dollars and the losses in lives.

It was only after he retired from the Marines that Butler said he realized that he had
spent the bulk of his 33 years in the Corps as a high-class muscle man for Big
Business, for Wall Street and the bankers as a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism
in carrying out military operations on their behalf in China, the Philippines, Mexico,
Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua and Haiti.

In looking back on his experience as a gangster for capitalism, Butler said in a
1933 speech that he could have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do
was operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents.

And the racket continues. Vice President Cheney's old company Haliburton and its
subsidiary Kellogg, Brown  Root, has picked up billions of dollars in contracts

Our quality of life peaked in 1974. It's all downhill now
We will pay the price for believing the world has infinite resources
George Monbiot
Monday December 30 2002
The Guardian


With the turning of every year, we expect our lives to improve. As long as the economy 
continues to grow, we imagine, the world will become a more congenial place in which 
to live. There is no basis for this belief. If we take into account such factors as 
pollution and the depletion of natural capital, we see that the quality of life peaked 
in the UK in 1974 and in the US in 1968, and has been falling ever since. We are going 
backwards.

The reason should not be hard to grasp. Our economic system depends upon never-ending 
growth, yet we live in a world with finite resources. Our expectation of progress is, 
as a result, a delusion.

This is the great heresy of our times, the fundamental truth which cannot be spoken. 
It is dismissed as furiously by those who possess power today - governments, business, 
the media - as the discovery that the earth orbits the sun was denounced by the late 
medieval church. Speak this truth in public and you are dismissed as a crank, a prig, 
a lunatic.

Capitalism is a millenarian cult, raised to the status of a world religion. Like 
communism, it is built upon the myth of endless exploitation. Just as Christians 
imagine that their God will deliver them from death, capitalists believe that theirs 
will deliver them from finity. The world's resources, they assert, have been granted 
eternal life.

The briefest reflection will show that this cannot be true. The laws of thermodynamics 
impose inherent limits upon biological production. Even the repayment of debt, the 
pre-requisite of capitalism, is mathematically possible only in the short-term. As 
Heinrich Haussmann has shown, a single pfennig invested at 5% compounded interest in 
the year AD 0 would, by 1990, have reaped a volume of gold 134bn times the weight of 
the planet. Capitalism seeks a value of production commensurate with the repayment of 
debt.

Now, despite the endless denials, it is clear that the wall towards which we are 
accelerating is not very far away. Within five or 10 years, the global consumption of 
oil is likely to outstrip supply. Every year, up to 75bn tonnes of topsoil are washed 
into the sea as a result of unsustainable farming, which equates to the loss of around 
9m hectares of productive land.

As a result, we can maintain current levels of food production only with the 
application of phosphate, but phosphate reserves are likely to be exhausted within 80 
years. Forty per cent of the world's food is produced with the help of irrigation; 
some of the key aquifers are already running dry as a result of overuse.

One reason why we fail to understand a concept as simple as finity is that our 
religion was founded upon the use of other people's resources: the gold, rubber and 
timber of Latin America; the spices, cotton and dyes of the East Indies; the labour 
and land of Africa. The frontier of exploitation seemed, to the early colonists, 
infinitely expandable. Now that geographical expansion has reached its limits, 
capitalism has moved its frontier from space to time: seizing resources from an 
infinite future.

An entire industry has been built upon the denial of ecological constraints. Every 
national newspaper in Britain lamented the disappointing volume of sales before 
Christmas. Sky News devoted much of its Christmas Eve coverage to live reports from 
Brent Cross, relaying the terrifying intelligence that we were facing the worst 
Christmas for shopping since 2000. The survival of humanity has been displaced in the 
newspapers by the quarterly results of companies selling tableware and knickers.

Partly because they have been brainwashed by the corporate media, partly because of 
the scale of the moral challenge with which finity confronts them, many people respond 
to the heresy with unmediated savagery.

Last week this column discussed the competition for global grain supplies between 
humans and livestock. One correspondent, a man named David Roucek, wrote to inform me 
that the problem is the result of people breeding indiscriminately ... When a woman 
has displayed evidence that she totally disregards the welfare of her offspring by 
continuing to breed children she cannot support, she has committed a crime and must be 
punished. The punishment? She must be sterilised to prevent her from perpetrating her 
crimes upon more innocent children.

There is no doubt that a rising population is one of the factors which threatens the 
world's capacity to support its people, but human population growth is being massively 
outstripped by the growth in the number of farm animals. While the rich

http://www.whitehouse.org/news/2002/123102.asp

PRESIDENT BUSH OPPOSES REP. CHARLES RANGEL'S PROPOSAL TO
WEAKEN THE MILITARY BY REINSTATING THE WHITE IVY LEAGUE DRAFT
Statement by the President


THE PRESIDENT: Good afternoon. As many of you know, this morning saw the
publication of an Op-Ed piece in the Jew York Times by liberal Congressman
Charles Rangel, in which he calls for a reinstatement of a military draft which is 
blind
to both the color and socioeconomic status of potential draftees. Well I speak for all
Caucasian millionaire war hawk Republicans with no relatives pathetic enough to be
slumming it in the military when I say that I am categorically and inalterably opposed
to such a dangerous and repugnantly Populistic move.

Now inasmuch as I strive to create the illusion that I collaborate with my political
enemies, I called Congressman Rangel this morning, and I told him outright how I
feel. I said, Now listen Unky Remus (that's my little nickname for him) - I am NOT
for this little Reverse Affirmative Action draft of yours. I am for an army of 
lower-class
teens whose dreams of a better life instill in them a compulsion to march into napalm
grenades all for the benefit of Ivy League princes such as myself whose lives must
be protected if this country is to continue its proud tradition of inbred plutocratic 
rule.
Well, the Congressman disagreed with me, and that's still his pre-war right. But as
President, I want to assure all affluent Americans that there's not a chance in hell
they're going to see their blue-eyed, blond-haired trust fund babies march off to die 
in
a biochemical war just so some colored Harlem crybaby can work out his racial blood
lust in the name of shared sacrifice and the citizen soldier.

Besides, as I've stated over 26,000 times since going AWOL from the National
Guard in 1972, I am for a STRONG military. And as a man who lets common sense
dictate all his decisions, it seems to me that Congressman Rangel's idea is about as
good as a bucket of month-old KFC. I mean, who do you want defending you: a
bunch of scrawny, squash-playing Ivy League fratboys, or fearsome gold-toothed
Compton carjackers packing their own TEK-9's? Seems like one hell of a no-brainer
to me, Charlie! Why do you think President Reagan ordered that 75% of our
recruitment centers be in ghettos? Hell, there's no weapons training required for
those boys! It's just unwrap, point, and shoot!

Moreso, America's princes and princesses don't have the kind of hunger that actual
hungry people do. Hell, some of America's poorest Mezzicans, Slopes, and Dot-
heads will hurdle razorwire, absorb shrapnel, and dance sexy-hot Tango with the
Grim Reaper himself so long as there's a moldy strawberry Pop-Tart in their field
rations. And THAT is the kind of determination that will make it possible for America
to conquer the world, starting with those dirtbag Arabiacs and kimchee- breathing
Koreans.

(Applause.)

Thank you, and Happy New Year.

care one bit about the welfare of the American people except they are
slightly more useful as cash cows than the present Iraqi population.
The slavish mentality of pseudo-dissidents like Duke and Larouche

Now imagine what happens if U-S-A commands its puppet and male whore,
Bush, to invade Iraq. Iraq doesn't have any atomic, biological or chemical
installation of any size or the UN inspectors would have found it by now.
But what do they have? KNOWLEDGE. The knowledge of how to make bug bombs
of all kinds. Knowledge which they can pass on to millions of Iraqi
refugees justifiably filled with fear and hate (as planned by the U-S-A
terrorists). And the U-S-A terrorists know that those bug bombs will be
targeted on American populations in all sorts of clever ways.

Don't expect bug bombs to fall from the sky in scud missiles. And no
quarantine can stop an infestation among a few humans here and a few

knows this. But a moron who is a whorish male puppet can only do the

 West Nile Virus encephalitis is yet another new infectious disease that has
 mysteriously appeared in the U.S., seemingly out of the blue. Is this another
 disease, like AIDS, that poses a threat to certain high risk groups? Could
 the outbreak of WN virus be some sort of biologic test (like the anthrax

 emerging diseases and emerging viruses merely continuing (and unprecedented)

http://www.casi.org.uk/discuss/2002/msg00024.html



IRAQ'S CHEMICAL WARFARE

By Douglas V. Johnson, Stephen C. Pelletiere, Reply by Edward MortimerTo the Editors:

In our book Iraqi Power and U.S. Security in the Middle East we questioned whether Iraq had used chemicals against its Kurdish population, as widely believed. Your reviewer (Edward Mortimer, "Republic of Fear," NYR, September 27) challenged us on this. Since it is a matter of some importance, we would like to offer support for our view. Essentially there are two instances under scrutiny. The first attack allegedly occurred at Halabjah in north-central Iraq. All accounts of this incident agree that the victims' mouths and extremities were blue. This is consonant with the use of a blood agent. Iraq never used blood agents throughout the war; Iran did. The U.S. State Department said at the time of the Hallabjah attack that both Iran and Iraq had used gas in this instance. Hence, we concluded it was the Iranians' gas that killed the Kurds.

The second alleged gas attack by the Iraqis against the Kurds occurred at Amadiyyah (in the far northern region of Iraq) after the war had ended. This one is extremely problematical since no gassing victims were ever produced. The only evidence that gas was used is the eye-witness testimony of the Kurds who fled to Turkey, collected by staffers of the U.S. Senate. We showed this testimony to experts in the military who told us it was worthless. The symptoms described by the Kurds do not conform to any known chemical or combination of chemicals.

Lacking any gassing victims, and given the fact that the testimony does not seem credible we were unwilling to say that in fact the attacks had occurred. At the same time, throughout the study we cited instances of Iraqi-instigated chemical attacks against Iranian military units. There is no doubt that these occurred; indeed the Iraqis have stated on occasion that they feel justified in using chemicals tactically under certain conditions. However, they deny using chemicals as a weapon of mass destruction, that is against civilians. What our study concludes is that those who claim they are doing so need to come up with some more convincing proof.

On an another matter, your reviewer claimed that we did not predict the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait. He quotes us (correctly) as saying that (after the war with Iran) "Iraq has neither the will nor the resources to go to war with anybody." However, we qualified that statement, by saying, if we (that is the United States) impose economic sanctions on the Iraqis, it then is likely that they will lash out against our interests in the Gulf. This part of the prediction your reviewer left out, and it's important since, as you know, the U.S. Congress did impose sanctions and almost immediately after the Iraqis invaded Kuwait.

If any of the New York Review of Books readers want to read what we said in our study, they can obtain a free copy by writing to us.

ANALYSIS: While GOP victories in the 2002 elections were, to a large extent, an
expression of support for Bush's personal leadership -- and a repudiation of sorts of
national Democratic leadership, it doesn't necessarily improve his already favorable
chancs to win re-election. Now Bush has responsibility for both international and

ANALYSIS: Now that Al Gore is out, this race is wide open with no clear frontrunner -
- unless Hillary Clinton can be coaxed into running. Kerry seems to have fared best
in recent weeks and is positioned to emerge as a formidable contender. Gore's
withdrawal puts Lieberman in the race, and the former VP nominee's poll numbers
should rise accordingly, at least for a while. Edwards is a strong campaigner with the
best chance of building a Southern/black base, critical if there is no major African
American candidate. The congressional leaders lack energy and public enthusiasm
at this point, hurt by the 2002 elections, although Gephardt now has an opening to
put labor together. Watch for new contenders, the void is large and could attract new
faces.

Make No Mistake About It - 9/11 Was An Inside Job
by Voxfux

This article is the single most important work presented by vox information sciences. It contains the single most important key to uncovering WHAT REALLY HAPPENED on 9/11. It describes in chilling details the FACTS about the players and events of 9/11.
It is the single most popular research work on this entire site and is the principal core thesis on which this site is based on. This article is dedicated to all the many educational institutions and people around the world seeking the truth about the staged "Terrorist" attacks perpetrated by a clandestine US group, operating under a plan that is over 20 years old. A plan to attack the American people and rouse them to become the New World Order's foot soldiers and worker ant's on a quest for global conquest. It is complete with FACTS never before presented in one complete work. Originally presented in may of 2002 it is presented here in it's original form.
vox

A thorough scientific analysis of the swirl of events, people, nations, motivations, propaganda, personalities and histories involved in this current moment in history, leads to only one conclusion - That clandestine forces aligned with George Bush Sr. are planning to attack the US population, blame it on Islamic terrorists and use the attacks as a pretext for a total clamp-down on dissent, basic civil liberties, normal democratic processes and In the confusion that will follow they will wage unchecked war and aggression against Iraq, and other nations, Islamic and otherwise, who have natural resources and particularly oil reserves that this shadowy group of petrochemical and arms industrialists are thirsting for. Their ultimate goal? The conquest of Eurasia. Three quarters of the worlds population and resources are to be found on the Eurasian landmass. It has been the principal focus of State Department and military strategists since presidential National Security Advisor, Zbigniew Brzezinski outlined it twenty years ago as the principle American “Imperative.” Meaning - To survive, we MUST conquer. But what of all those nations that we will be conquering? According to Brzezinski and his cabal of adherents in the Military and State Department and industry for whom his writings are like a biblical tome - it’s for their own good.

The problem Brzezinski says is that most average American’s don’t have a taste for crusades of global conquest... 

Unless...
...there’s a sudden terrifying threat.

In his latest book, The Grand Chessboard, Brzezinski drills his followers no less than four times that only sudden and terrifying threats would rouse Americans to the task of global conquest.
With the opening salvo of September 11th behind them, American’s are being, “softened up” right now for their first “Dirty Bomb,” attack. If there was ever so sinister an imaginary catastrophic device that had been so entirely concocted out of thin air, so heavily promoted in the media and ultimately steered to what will almost certainly be the dramatic conclusion of a self fulfilling media stoked prophecy - to be fabricated first in our imaginations then ignited in the real world - It is the dirty bomb. Find out the “Generators” of the dirty bomb “meme” that took off like wildfire eight months ago and you will find the very source of American terrorism. 

But it’s not going to be easy. Covert operators like this don’t leave memos of their machinations laying around - They don’t write this in e-mails. But they do leave traces of their presence.
The analysis of the “Chatter,” voxnyc is receiving and interpreting points to only one conclusion - Teams of private ex-intelligence and ex-military operatives under the command structure of the axis of industrialists aligned with the Bush group of current and ex, intelligence and military operatives, are racing to consolidate total power in the hands of George Bush Jr. in the most ambitious power grab since Adolf Hitler.

To make it very clear our analysis is the following: The much vaunted radiological dirty bomb will NOT be dropped on the American population from any Islamic terrorists but from the shadowy group of American intelligence operatives aligned with George Bush Sr. (the father)

Americans have been made, “aware,” of the dirty bomb for over six months now and have had the dirty bomb “meme” firmly linked to, “Islamic Terrorists.” This is how it’s done. It’s called the, “Back Story.” And it is part of the preparatory propaganda intelligence agencies call a Psy-op (psychological operation). These Psy-ops in actuality comprise nearly 70% of the overall human and capital resources our government devotes to a given geo-strategic objective - only 30% is bullets and bombs. But even with the many millions spent on painting these elaborate Psy-op pictures, it

2004: Running on empty

Will Durst - WorkingForChange

12.30.02 - In the dog eat dog world of big time politics, politicians sometimes stumble
into one of those defining moments that changes the very air that we breathe. A few
get hit over the head with the moment, like a big fat lucky nerf bat. Think Rudy
Giuliani. The man was forced to drop out of the NY Senate race with an advanced
case of Lewinsky-itis. Then September 11th threw this loser a second act, and now
he's got a best seller called Leadership. Tie-Ming! Not a city in China.

Another moment occurs when you got yourself a mandate or even better, a second
term. When you can worry more about what actually gets done rather than what
you're supposed to say. Or as in Ronald Reagan's case, your wife worries more
about what actually gets done rather than what you're supposed to say. For the
Democrats, it would be more than fair to say this is not that time.

Perhaps the most rarified of these uncommon opportunities is the freedom that
comes with nothing to lose, which is about all the Democrats have going for
themselves now. A slim chance to lead themselves out of the desert of
inconsequence into the promised land of relevance. Or at least near one of its outer
parking lot courtesy tram stops. But this change of direction will take bold leadership
to articulate a new vision. Unfortunately, this requires either a leader or a vision or
both. And as you can see from the potential list of usual suspects being floated by
the Dems (minus Al Gore) that they are not out of the woods yet. Here's a thumbnail
on their prospects 22 months hence.

(Eds. note: Where applicable, links to the Working Assets Presidential Primary have
been added. Make your voice heard!)

THE POLITICIANS
Hillary Clinton
(Tell Hillary: Please run! Please don’t!)
Not quite the people's choice. Yet. Except by every history teacher in the country who
would love to see Bush-Clinton-Bush-Clinton in the Presidential lists mostly
because it’s easy to remember. And it would be fun just for how much it would piss
off Rush Limbaugh.

Tom Daschle
(Tell Daschle: Please run! Please don’t!)
Senate Minority leader and a damn good one. Better to stay there and continue such
an exemplary job. On a 1 to 10 scale, Daschle shoves the thrill meter all the way
over to 1 1/2. Makes Al Gore look wired.

Howard Dean
(Tell Dean: Please run! Please don’t!)
Vermont Governor and big time doctor. Perhaps just the white knight America needs
to joust with the insurance and health care lobbies. And we all know how the press
loves a distinguished elder statesman with a long pointy stick. Does neighboring
status to New Hampshire equal a 21st century Jimmy Carter with a stethoscope?
Stay tuned.

John Edwards
(Tell Edwards: Please run! Please don’t!)
Senator from South Carolina. Not the guy who talks to dead people. Although he has
been addressing quite a few Democratic leadership committees lately. Great
Southern Hope or Al Gore light? Or is that latter part redundant?

John Kerry
(Tell Kerry: Please run! Please don’t!)
One of original organizers of Vietnam Veterans Against the War in 1971, Kerry has
liberal credentials but he's also got the requisite moderate economic sensibility. Most
importantly, he has the perfect initials: JFK.

Joseph Lieberman
(Tell Joe: Please run! Please don’t!)
Couldn't push Florida into the blue column. Might remind populace too much of 2000
and Democratic lack of killer instinct. Besides, face it, this may not be politically
correct, but the American people are never going to elect President a man who
sounds like Elmer Fudd. Be werry werry qwiet. I'm going to raise your taxes. Heh
heh heh heh heh heh.

Ralph Nader
(Tell Ralph: Please run! Please don’t!)
No. No. No. No. No. No. No. Last time Mr. Nader ran, his supporters said they
wouldn't mind if Bush won because the country couldn't get better until it got worse.
Okay. It’s worse. This is worse enough. We don't need more worse.

Al Sharpton
(Tell Sharpton: Please run! Please don’t!)
In every group there has to be one guy who can say the things that nobody else will.
This is him. Oft times the group also needs somebody who says crazy things nobody
else understands. This is also him.

NON-POLITICIANS
Tom Brokaw
He may not be Uncle Walter, but America trusts him more than angry Dan or Mr.
Jennings, the Canadian.

Jim Hightower
(Tell Hightower: Please run!)
Only liberal who can go toe to toe with Bush's Texas twang.

Michael Moore
(Tell Moore: Please run!
Got Alan Keyes to jump into mosh pit with him, maybe this blue- collar court jester
can convince the whole country to follow.

Anna Nicole Smith
Only because Ozzie Osbourne was born on foreign soil.

Tyco Finds $300 Million in Accounting Errors

December 30, 2002


By REUTERS






Filed at 9:13 p.m. ET

BOSTON (Reuters) - Tyco International Ltd., battered this
year by scandal and accounting worries, on Monday said an
internal investigation found no fraud, but uncovered $382
million in accounting errors.

While Tyco (TYC.N) said the errors did not represent
significant or systemic fraud, the Bermuda-based
conglomerate admitted previous management used aggressive
bookkeeping to boost results. The results also confirmed
some of the suspicions that have been dogging Tyco since
1999.

Tyco's stock is down about 74 percent this year.

Tyco said the company kept shoddy records and had
inadequate corporate governance policies during the reign
of indicted former chairman Dennis Kozlowski.

In fact, Kozlowski's personal assistant authorized
restricted stock awards and investigators found internal
memos using terms such as ``financial engineering'' in
discussions on how to meet profit goals.

To correct the accounting errors, Tyco said it would take
pretax charges totaling $382 million in the 2002 fiscal
year, which ended Sept. 30. Of that amount, more than half
stemmed from Tyco's ADT burglar alarm business, which
recognized income too soon from fees it charged a network
of independent dealers who sell and install security
systems.

Tyco CEO Edward Breen, chief financial officer David
FitzPatrick and outside auditor PriceWaterhouseCoopers
signed off on the company's fiscal 2002 financial
statements, according to the annual report.

Shares of Tyco rose to $15.95 in Instinet trade on Monday
from a closing price of $15.35.

AGGRESSIVE ACCOUNTING

Aggressive accounting is not necessarily improper. But the
Tyco investigation concluded former management was not
neutral in its treatment of accounting policies. It sought
out techniques that would boost profits while shying away
from those that would reduce them, the report said.

Specifically, the report said prior management manipulated
its accounting for acquisitions to boost its financial
results. This long-running criticism of the conglomerate
was central to an earlier probe by the Securities and
Exchange Commission which ended in July 2000 with the body
taking no action.

The SEC began another investigation into Tyco's accounting
earlier this year. No results have been reported.

As part of Tyco's internal accounting investigation, Tyco
reviewed 15 acquisitions that were valued at about $30
billion at the suggestion of the SEC. Tyco said it
completed more than 700 acquisitions between 1999 and 2001.


The report questioned accounting surrounding the
acquisitions of electronics companies AMP and Raychem and
health care company U.S. Surgical. Tyco boosted earnings in
the companies it was acquiring by artificially reducing
revenue or increasing expenses in the quarter immediately
before the deal closed. The effect was that earnings were
enhanced after the acquisition.

One example showed that Tyco understated by $235 million
the value of equity and employee stock options it issued to
acquire medical product maker Mallinckrodt Inc. in 2000.
This meant a $5.6 million overstatement in fiscal 2001
earnings because of the related goodwill.

``There were also instances where senior management exerted
pressure and provided incentives which had the purpose and
effect of encouraging unit and segment officers to achieve
higher earnings, including in some cases by their choice of
accounting treatments,'' the Tyco report stated.

Tyco said $185.9 million of the $382.2 million in errors
for fiscal 2002 were a result of miscalculation of
reimbursements to dealers of its ADT burglar alarms.

Earlier this year, Tyco hired lawyer David Boies, who
prosecuted the Justice Department's antitrust case against
Microsoft Corp. (MSFT.O) during the Clinton administration,
to conduct an internal investigation.

Boies and an army of forensic accountants stepped in as New
York City prosecutors investigated Tyco's former chairman,
Kozlowski, and his top lieutenant, ex-finance chief Mark
Swartz. The men are accused of orchestrating a corruption
scheme that netted them more than $600 million through
unauthorized compensation and fraudulent stock
transactions.

Both men have pleaded innocent to the charges.

http://www.antiwar.com/paul/paul59.html



Waning Prospects for Peace in 2003?
Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX)
December 31, 2002

As 2002 draws to a close, the prospects for peace seem bleak in the world's troubled Middle East region. Afghanistan remains in chaos, despite the ouster of the Taliban regime by American forces. Israel and the occupied West Bank territories suffer terrible incidents of violence almost daily, forcing the cancellation of Christmas celebrations in Bethlehem. Although the administration has not yet ordered a full-scale military mobilization into Iraq, war hawks in the Pentagon and Defense department assure us that such an attack is imminent.

Yet even in the midst of this Middle East turmoil, an unsettling new threat has arisen in North Korea. The authoritarian Kim Jong-il regime recently announced that it would move forward with a nuclear weapons program, poisoning its already hostile diplomatic relationship with Washington. The Koreans allegedly opened seals on thousands of irradiated fuel rods, and removed UN monitoring cameras at a nuclear reactor that was earlier shut down by treaty. Some military observers believe the North Koreans can produce four or five nuclear weapons in the next six months.

Defense Secretary Rumsfeld quickly responded to the North Koreans by declaring that the United States can fight simultaneous wars with Iraq and North Korea if necessary. But can we be certain this is true, especially after the demoralizing reductions in our military strength during the Clinton years? Does this mean we will stretch our military forces even thinner, to fight three or five or ten conflicts, if necessary to play world policeman in the new American empire?

The seriousness of the North Korean threat is evidenced by strong reactions from France, Britain, Japan, Russia, and even China. In fact, a recent poll showed that an overwhelming number of Americans view North Korea as more of a threat than Iraq.

How tragic that after 50 years of Korean occupation by American troops, our citizens feel more threatened by that nation than ever. Thousands of Americans lost their lives in the Korean war, and thousands more have risked their lives serving in the desolate DMZ that separates North and South Korea. Yet all we can show for half a century of military and political entanglement in Korea is today's heightened nuclear tensions. Even the South Koreans, whose very lives our soldiers protect, have grown weary of American demonization of the North, showing a desire for more openness and negotiations between the two countries. In fact, the recently elected South Korean president won votes by displaying some anti-American sentiment.

After a horrific fifteen years in Vietnam, we removed our troops completely from the region. Today, our nation enjoys friendly diplomatic and trade relations with that country, and we've been able to heal some of the pain experienced by both our GIs and the Vietnamese people. Somehow, we seem unable to apply the same lesson to Korea.

The good news is that public support for an invasion of Iraq has diminished, and the situation in Korea will only raise more questions about the wisdom of a second Gulf war. If the argument for invading Iraq is based on the threat it poses to American national security, a much stronger argument can be made for invading North Korea. Many Americans now believe Saddam Hussein can be neutralized without sending U.S troops into Baghdad. With tens of thousands of young American soldiers already active in Afghanistan, and hundreds of thousands ready to deploy in Iraq, the possibility of a third conflict in Korea may be too much for even the loudest pro-war voices in Washington to sell to the American public.

Ron Paul, M.D., represents the 14th Congressional District of Texas in the United States House of Representatives.

2002-12-31 Thread William Shannon

http://writ.news.findlaw.com/ramasastry/20021231.html



WHY WE SHOULD BE CONCERNED ABOUT "TOTAL INFORMATION AWARENESS" AND OTHER ANTI-TERRORISM STRATEGIES FOR THE INTERNET
By ANITA RAMASASTRY
 Tuesday, Dec. 31, 2002

During 2003, we are likely to see the development of two new government initiatives to use computer technology in terrorism prevention. Each will give the government greater access to Internet data. 

One relates to a new federal network-monitoring center, described in the government's September draft of its National Strategy to Secure Cyberspace. The other is the Orwellian sounding Information Awareness Office, which will be engaged in a project aimed at "Total Information Awareness." Both are cause for concern..

It is well known that terrorists used - and, apparently, still use - the Internet because if its potential for anonymity when communicating worldwide. In addition, the government has noted terrorists' (or simply hackers') denial of service attacks as a potential threat to our national infrastructure. 

The government's response to the reality that the Internet can be used to aid terrorism, is to attempt to use it in counterterrorism and terrorism prevention. The idea is to amass data and to identify patterns that will stop terrorists before they act. Though the Internet can provide weapons to our enemies, the logic goes, it can also provides tools to our government to detect and fight them. 

Even without the new initiatives, some Internet counterterrorism is already occurring. FBI agents can seek court orders to view a suspect's email. And with the USA Patriot Act, Internet Service Providers are being asked, for example, to supply law enforcement with the names of their subscribers. However, the two new proposals, when fully implemented, may go significantly further. 

That's troubling, for three major reasons. First, the new proposals may cause widespread invasions of privacy on the Internet. 

Second, they may also allow the government to make an end run around the Fourth Amendment's protection against unreasonable searches and seizures. 

Third, they may do so entirely in vain: It remains an open question whether a massive database of information on Americans can really preempt terrorist attacks, and there is good reason to think it cannot.

The National Strategy to Secure Cyberspace and Its CNOC

First, let's look at the current draft of the National Strategy to Secure Cyberspace. Authored by the President's Critical Infrastructure Protection Board. It is meant to forge public/private cooperation to protect national computer networks from everything from malicious viruses to terrorist attacks. The ultimate plan will presumably require Congressional approval.

The current draft recommends that Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and information technology security-related companies, among others, establish a Cyberspace Network Operations Center (CNOC). The Internet has thousands of ISPs - from little mom and pop independents, to large conglomerates like AOL and Microsoft. Thus, it's somewhat unclear how this would be done.

The Strategy says that the CNOC, whether physical or virtual, would "share information and ensure coordination to support the health and reliability of Internet operations in the United States." The CNOC "would not be a government entity and would be managed by the private sector, the Federal government should explore ways in which it could cooperate with the [CNOC]." (Emphasis added).

Recent news reports suggest, however, that the draft will soon be amended so that the government - not the private sector - would indeed operate the CNOC. Reports also suggest that the Administration may soon ask ISPs to provide the federal government directly with access to a wide array of data, with the purpose of preventing a terrorist cyber-attack. 

The goal - monitoring networks in order to prevent future cyber attacks - seems sensible and laudable. But the problem is that a government-run CNOC may allow the government to track individual usage of the World Wide Web, with a potential cost to individual privacy. 

When Does Snooping Become a Fourth-Amendment-Protected Search?

Legally, the point at which broad snooping by the government becomes an individualized search (in this case, a wiretap) to which the Fourth Amendment applies is unclear. This area of law, unfortunately, remains a gray area. 

Currently, when the federal government wants to monitor email, using an Internet wiretap device known as "Carnivore," it must obtain a court order. Some commentators view the CNOC as a mega Carnivore: As a result of the CNOC, the government will have access to live feeds on a much larger scale. But this time, the government may take the position that the search is so broad, no court order is necessary. 

Alternatively, if the CNOC is truly a cooperative public/private partnership, as the current Nationa

Kuwaitis seethe with anger as U.S. war drum beats   
By Michael Georgy

KUWAIT, Dec. 31 — Kuwaitis in American-style shopping malls, coffee shops and mosques are hoping for Saddam Hussein's downfall. But they no longer trust the old friend who ousted the Iraqi leader's forces from their country in 1991 -- the United States.  

As thousands of U.S. soldiers train for war in Kuwait near the Iraqi border, some of the people they have promised to protect are growing tired of what they call U.S. President George W. Bush's ''cowboy'' style of leadership. 
       
''We don't like Saddam. But we hate the Americans,'' said Ramiz Abu Qweidar, a civil engineer who lives in the poor town of Jahra, a 30-minute drive from the capital. 
       
Perhaps the United States thought its liberation of Kuwait in 1991 would give it unlimited political mileage in the country, where many people still drive big, gas-guzzling American cars. 
       
Many Kuwaitis -- from Islamic militants to lawyers to parliament members -- would disagree. 
       
Although they believe only the United States has the military firepower to topple Saddam, many Kuwaitis complain that Washington has gone too far in its war on terrorism and unilateral calls for regime change in Iraq. 
       
Those mixed emotions were palpable at a diwaniya, an informal gathering of parliamentarians, lawyers and businessmen. 

WAR JITTERS AND ANGER 
       
At a spacious villa, two elderly friends in flowing robes sat twirling worry beads through their fingers while speculating on the date of a possible war. ''January 21,'' said one. ''No February 21,'' said the other. 
       
There were few kind words when the subject turned to the man whose father helped save Kuwait from Iraqi tanks -- Bush. 
       
''This is highway robbery. It is the policy of a cowboy. Bush can just say 'I don't like that leader's face so he must be removed'. If he removes Saddam he will do the same in the whole region,'' said lawyer Ali Radwan. 

''If anyone removes Saddam it should be the Iraqis.'' 
       
Anti-American sentiment in Kuwait boiled over in November when a Kuwaiti policeman shot and seriously wounded two U.S. soldiers. There have been a number of reports of shots fired at U.S. troops training in the Kuwaiti desert. 
       
While many Kuwaitis condemned the attacks, some said U.S. policies in the Middle East invited hatred and violence. 
       
''The attacks in Kuwait were not surprising and I expect more to take place. The Americans talk about democracy in the Arab world but that is not their motivation. Everyone knows that,'' said Mahmoud Awadi, a retired businessman.

 Kuwaitis seethe with anger as U.S. war drum beats
 By Michael Georgy

 KUWAIT, Dec. 31 — Kuwaitis in American-style shopping malls, coffee shops and
 mosques are hoping for Saddam Hussein's downfall. But they no longer trust
 the old friend who ousted the Iraqi leader's forces from their country in
 1991 -- the United States.

 As thousands of U.S. soldiers train for war in Kuwait near the Iraqi border,
 some of the people they have promised to protect are growing tired of what
 they call U.S. President George W. Bush's ''cowboy'' style of leadership.
 Â  Â  Â  Â
 ''We don't like Saddam. But we hate the Americans,'' said Ramiz Abu Qweidar,
 a civil engineer who lives in the poor town of Jahra, a 30-minute drive from
 the capital.
 Â  Â  Â  Â
 Perhaps the United States thought its liberation of Kuwait in 1991 would give
 it unlimited political mileage in the country, where many people still drive
 big, gas-guzzling American cars.
 Â  Â  Â  Â
 Many Kuwaitis -- from Islamic militants to lawyers to parliament members --
 would disagree.
 Â  Â  Â  Â
 Although they believe only the United States has the military firepower to
 topple Saddam, many Kuwaitis complain that Washington has gone too far in its
 war on terrorism and unilateral calls for regime change in Iraq.
 Â  Â  Â  Â
 Those mixed emotions were palpable at a diwaniya, an informal gathering of
 parliamentarians, lawyers and businessmen.

 WAR JITTERS AND ANGER
 Â  Â  Â  Â
 At a spacious villa, two elderly friends in flowing robes sat twirling worry
 beads through their fingers while speculating on the date of a possible war.
 ''January 21,'' said one. ''No February 21,'' said the other.
 Â  Â  Â  Â
 There were few kind words when the subject turned to the man whose father
 helped save Kuwait from Iraqi tanks -- Bush.
 Â  Â  Â  Â
 ''This is highway robbery. It is the policy of a cowboy. Bush can just say 'I
 don't like that leader's face so he must be removed'. If he removes Saddam he
 will do the same in the whole region,'' said lawyer Ali Radwan.

 ''If anyone removes Saddam it should be the Iraqis.''
 Â  Â  Â  Â
 Anti-American sentiment in Kuwait boiled over in November when a Kuwaiti
 policeman shot and seriously wounded two U.S. soldiers. There have been a
 number of reports of shots fired at U.S. troops training in the Kuwaiti
 desert.
 Â  Â  Â  Â
 While many Kuwaitis condemned the attacks, some said U.S. policies in the
 Middle East invited hatred and violence.
 Â  Â  Â  Â
 ''The attacks in Kuwait were not surprising and I expect more to take place.
 The Americans talk about democracy in the Arab world but that is not their
 motivation. Everyone knows that,'' said Mahmoud Awadi, a retired businessman.

 Â  Â  Â  Â
 The U.S. embassy in Kuwait has warned Americans to avoid apartment buildings
 and public places where Westerners gather.
 Â  Â  Â  Â
 Anti-American sentiment was even running deep at a coffee shop where
 teenagers puffed on cigarettes and water pipes while watching U.S. pop stars
 in music videos.
 Â  Â  Â  Â
 On the wall, a large photograph of a Kuwaiti official aiming a Kalashnikov
 rifle who was killed in the Gulf War reminded customers that oil-rich Kuwait
 remains vulnerable.
 Â  Â  Â  Â
 ''It is a game. The Americans are just trying to impose their influence on
 Muslims. We hate the Americans,'' said Salih al-Bishr, 17.
 Â  Â  Â  Â
 For now, Kuwaitis are preparing for war by simulating chemical weapons
 attacks in the event that Baghdad takes revenge against the land it once
 called Iraq's 19th province.

[CTRL] PETER DALE SCOTT: NEW BOOKS

I. PETER DALE SCOTT: NEW BOOKS, SHOWS, AND APPEARANCES: 2002

I am currently working on two updated books, and a third new one.

I have finished for Rowman and Littlefield a book entitled DRUGS, OIL, AND WAR:
THE UNITED STATES IN AFGHANISTAN, COLOMBIA, AND INDOCHINA. Half of
this book consists of new long essays on Afghanistan and on Colombia. The second
half reprints selected chapters of my 1972 book The War Conspiracy: The Secret
Road to the Second Indochina War.

Drugs, Oil and War explores the underlying factors that have engendered a US
strategy of indirect intervention in Third World countries through alliance with drug-
trafficking proxies. This strategy was originally evolved in the late 1940s for the
containment of Communist China; it has been resorted to since to secure control
over foreign petroleum resources. The result has been a staggering increase in the
global drug traffic and the mafias assorted with it, a problem that will worsen until
there is a change in policy. The book traces also some of the processes by which
some of these covert interventions have escalated into war.

Publication details can be received when available by going to the Rowman and
Littlefield website now.

The second book is an updated revision of Deep Politics II: Essays on Oswald,
Mexico, and Cuba. I have revised and expanded the first five chapters of this book. It
will be available shortly from The Last Hurrah Bookshop, 937 Memorial Ave.,
Williamsport, PA 17701. The book is no longer available from jfklancer.com.

If you are interested in receiving further information about either book, including the
price and publication dates, please email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
(PeterDaleScott,TheWarConspiracy). This involves no commitment on your part, but
will help us plan the scale of the initial printings.

I am also writing for UC Press a completely new book about 9/11 and Afghanistan,
and will post further information about this when it is ready.

It is shaping up to be a happy new year indeed for the U-S-A terrorist
cult and its moron puppet. That's you, Junior.

The PEACE PROCESS is well underway. Even if Iraq has some weapons of mass
destruction, 51% of Canadians, according to a CTV poll this week, do not
want war. They know that UN inspectors can become UN PEACEKEEPING TROOPS
at the next stage and they will keep the peace in Iraq after any WMD's (if
there are any) are destroyed.

Morons, OTOH look for any excuse for war, at the behest of their
evil-doing U-S-A masters.

Even Morons know that a war would cause millions of refugees, justifiably
filled with fear and hate and KNOWLEDGE of biowar methods to spill across
the borders of Iraq as millions spilled across the borders of Palestine.

Even Morons know that the fear and hate will spread to 100,000,000 people
in countries which adjoin Iraq.

Even Morons know that only a tiny percentage of tens of thousands of
species of microbes have even been named and that biological weapons used
in a multitude of ways will kill millions of Americans in the decades to
come. That is what General Scowcroft is trying to tell you, Moron. Listen
to him. Heed what he says.

Bingo. We all understand. The U-S-A cabal which owns puppet-Bush doesn't
care one bit about the welfare of the American people except they are
slightly more useful as cash cows than the present Iraqi population.
The slavish mentality of pseudo-dissidents like Duke and Larouche
emphasizes that this population has been pacified beyond any kind of
normality. They live like zombies in a sci fi movie. So THERE is your
mother of all terrorism, ie the U-S-A Cult.

Now imagine what happens if U-S-A commands its puppet and male whore,
Bush, to invade Iraq. Iraq doesn't have any atomic, biological or chemical
installation of any size or the UN inspectors would have found it by now.
But what do they have? KNOWLEDGE. The knowledge of how to make bug bombs
of all kinds. Knowledge which they can pass on to millions of Iraqi
refugees justifiably filled with fear and hate (as planned by the U-S-A
terrorists). And the U-S-A terrorists know that those bug bombs will be
targeted on American populations in all sorts of clever ways.

Don't expect bug bombs to fall from the sky in scud missiles. And no
quarantine can stop an infestation among a few humans here and a few
there. An infestation of a crop here or a cattle herd there. Even a MORON
knows this. But a moron who is a whorish male puppet can only do the
bidding of his masters and if millions of Americans are killed by his
U-S-A terrorist masters, what does the MORON care?

 West Nile Virus encephalitis is yet another new infectious disease that has
 mysteriously appeared in the U.S., seemingly out of the blue. Is this another
 disease, like AIDS, that poses a threat to certain high risk groups? Could
 the outbreak of WN virus be some sort of biologic test (like the anthrax
 mailings) to wake people up to the dangers of bioterrorism? Are all these new
 emerging diseases and emerging viruses merely continuing (and unprecedented)
 cruel acts of Mother Nature? Or could the hand of man in the form of crazy
 biological warfare scientists be causing these new outbreaks? Is it just a
 coincidence that all these weird bugs and illnesses have erupted in the past
 two decades? Or is all this just paranoid thinking?

http://www.rootingoutevil.org/index.php3/MissionUSA

In the new year (2003), Rooting Out Evil --
http://www.rootingoutevil.org -- will be sending a team of volunteer
weapons inspectors into that greatest of rogue nations, the United
States of America [USA].

We have selected the U.S. as our first priority based on criteria
provided by the Bush Administration. According to those criteria, the
most dangerous states are those run by leaders who:

(1) Have massive stockpiles of chemical, biological and nuclear
weapons;
(2) Ignore due process of international law at the United Nations;
(3) Refuse to sign and honor international treaties; and
(4) Have come to power through illegitimate means.

The current U.S. administration fulfills all these criteria. And so,
again following [George War] Bush's guidelines, Rooting Out Evil is
demanding that his Administration allow immediate and unfettered
access to international weapons inspectors to search out the U.S.
caches of chemical, biological and nuclear weapons.

If they refuse to comply, we will assemble as many volunteer weapons
inspectors as possible at a major border crossing between the U.S.
and Canada and attempt to cross into the U.S. on a mission of peace.
We will be greeted on the U.S. side by Americans who favor true
global cooperation, an end to weapons of mass destruction and a
regime change in the U.S. at the next [presidential] election.

ATTENTION PEACE-LOVING CITIZENS OF THE WORLD!
http://www.rootingoutevil.org

Join us in challenging rogue states run by military fanatics who
produce and conceal weapons of mass destruction.

Rooting Out Evil is sending a weapons inspection team to the United
States to inspect the chemical, biological and nuclear weapons
produced and concealed by the Bush regime.

And we want you to join us -- in person or in spirit. Become an
Honorary Weapons Inspector -- And Support Our Mission Into The USA!

programmer to allow programs to be subjected to the RADOM FACTOR. A
random value of any range constraint could be assigned to any variable
and everything a computer did could be subjected to a factor that is no
different then rolling dice. Role Playing games had many odd dice in
these games. Whenever Windows makes a decision about what to do it is
under the influence of a RADOM decision. DEMONS are what controls the

[CTRL] Americans fatter and drunker in 2002

Studies: Americans fatter and drunker

By Reuters

CHICAGO - For the bleary-eyed able to stomach a tidbit of health news after
ringing in the New Year, more Americans are getting fat and drunk each
year, with sometimes deadly results, researchers said yesterday.

More than one in five American adults could be classified as obese in 2001,
up almost 6 percent from the year before. And more than one in four
Americans engage in bouts of binge drinking - defined as five or more
drinks at one sitting with the goal of getting drunk - up 35 percent from
1995.

I guess you could say we're fat and drunk, said Timothy Naimi, a
researcher at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in
Atlanta, summarizing a pair of studies based on a huge telephone survey of
more than 200,000 adults.

We're a society that is somewhat taken with excesses, Naimi said.

The studies' publication in the Journal of the American Medical Association
was timed by the journal to coincide with the revelry associated with New
Year's Eve.

U.S. driving fatalities more than double on New Year's Day as celebrants
take to the roads.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, an average
of 393 people died in traffic accidents after midnight on New Year's Day
over the past three years, more than half of them alcohol-related. That
compares to the daily average of about 115 traffic deaths - roughly 42,000
a year - 40 percent of them blamed on alcohol.

Bingeing - whether on alcohol or food - is a potentially fatal health
problem, CDC researchers said.

Abuse of alcohol kills roughly 100,000 Americans a year, the third-leading
cause of preventable deaths after smoking and physical inactivity. Binge
drinking accounted for roughly half those 100,000 deaths, Naimi said.

Obesity is another killer, and its prevalence among U.S. adults nearly
doubled in the past decade to 21 percent of adults, the CDC researchers
said.

Obesity has been declared a global problem by the World Health
Organization, and 45 percent of adults in some oil-rich Persian Gulf
nations are obese, according to the study
