Subject: [JBirch] The danger to our economy from the enviro-wachos

Here is an excerpt from an article on this subject:
--
It is important to understand that no one takes care of property like the man
or woman who has worked and paid for their property with sweat equity. Millions
of acres the government owned property now stands in neglect, and yet they want
to take property from private ownership and preserve even more land.

Ranchers in western states are being thrown into jail over accusations they are
grazing cattle on government land without permits. It has been reported that
government agents are actually cutting the fences letting cattle onto
government ground and then the ranchers are charged with the trespassing
violation. Ranchers are being hit hard but we don't hear it on our local news.
Why?

Scarcely did the Group of Eight announce its decision to create a global
peacekeeping force but Congress was already in full swing to fulfill its end of
this U.N. agenda.

Introduced by Senate Foreign Relations Chair Richard Lugar (R-Ind.) on June 9
was S. 2514, The Global Peacekeeping Operations Initiative Act, allowing for
the transfer of funds for foreign countries to participate in international
peacekeeping or peace enforcement operations.

Coincidentally, June 9 is also the day reports floated from Sea Island, Ga.,
that the meeting Group of Eight the United States, Britain, Germany, France,
Canada, Japan, Russia and Italy set plans to create a 50,000-plus group of
global peacekeepers by 2010. This plan comes with a hefty price tag; Americans
will provide $660 million over the next five years for training and equipment.

[CTRL] About Building A Compound - Or the Other Alternative to an RV Life

2004-07-07 Thread A. Bpyer
-Caveat Lector-

www.mfhr.org/compound life.htm


BUILDING A COMPOUND LIFE

SITUATION ONE:  It was 1996 when I first heard Dave in
Arizona talk about his brothers building a family
compound.  His family members were middle-aged, his
mother in her early 70s, he and his brothers and their
wives were fed up with all the house problems and with
unusual city violence they had endured leading to them
all feeling unnecessarily ill, gaining a great deal of
weight for unknown reasons, and a general malise --
the family was suffering, possibly even in danger of
survival.  They decided to take extreme measures to
cure their scenes.  The family sat down to a pow-wow
and pooled their funds, and decided to build a
compound for sthe duration, a place of refuge and
safety and communal living near where they lived in
central eastern California on a sizable, about eight
acre parcel of land.

They really did this and in 1998, two years later the
family moved into their made-to-order communal living
site, compound, as they officially called it.  The
compound had a tall 10' solid concrete wall around
it...it had an electric gate...it had their mother,
who at 70 some years, was grateful to have some
protection but was scared to go to doctors for a
clean-up.  But her 50-something boys, four of them
plus their wives, began to try to keep everything in
order.  The couples had each built homes inside and
another for their mother.  I imagined that they were
keeping meaner dogs on the exterior areas...near the
large electric fence, like Dobermans, pit bulls, etc.
with dog houses to live in there.  I was fascinated
hearing about the compound from Dave for a few years
and then seeing the results in his yearly Christmas
card color xeroxs.  These included scrapbook photos of
his brothers showing the while family group drinking
gallons of beer in bars year-after-year in local
saloons with their wives.  I saw a transformation of
the family members with the photos beginning in about
1995, depicting the group as it was with dazed,
perplexed looks, clouded minds, unhappy - confused
even expressions, sullen palors.  The brothers were
shabby lookin' and very much over weight.

Then came the compound.  I asked Dave about how was it
going, he replied it was super, just great.  And sure
enough the photos plainly showed the new story -  the
men had lost weight, gained bright, attractive, happy
smiles, were wide awake, their wives more attractive,
their mother doing better, despite lacking medical
attention, said Dave. An amazing transition had taken
place with his family, they were suddenly alive, not
faltering as had been the case a few years before.

It has been two years, I am not sure how things are
going now...but things were great in 2002.  Dave still
lives in Arizona, he has not moved in with the group
as of yet physically, but he still joins them on
holidays in their beer drinking forays once or twice a
year to the local barrios.  This family's solutions to
hardships in communities these days and times of
transition throughout America hit me hard.  I believe
they have a good idea as long as their money holds
out. I understand the compound is off limits to
outsiders too and so the brothers have a consistent
order to follow to maintain life there.

This is not a cult event, these men all look obviously
very much alike, they are not adoptees, they are the
real brother thing, they are REAL human relatives.
Their close relationships support that fact too.


This is similar to the guarded mansions of recording
artist-celebs in places reported in states like
Arkansas and like the compounds of militia groups in
Texas and Oklahoma, Montana, only this was a small
family situation.

SITUATION TWO:  It was back in 1971, we were Hippies
living on a progressive cool university campus.  I was
madly in love with Mark, a tall, high brow dog man who
was a dreamboat.  Mark was also an ace clay potter, he
could spin the wheel with vessels as large as
multi-gallon urns and he was only 20.  We were both in
art school.  Mark had a dream and he told me with
fervent zeal that when we all reached 60 we should
pool our money and buy an big old house.  There we
should live together until we all died, hiring help as
needed and enjoying life to the hilt with our own
company,  Mark felt this because of his
grandmother...what he had seen regarding her care, how
he loved her, what he felt we should to do to avoid
being personally caged in a public facility.  He
figured we would do much better by taking care of each
other personally after the age of 55.

 FOOLED AGAINMoore's Movie Only Half of the Story

Fahrenheit 9/11 is one incredible documentary film, make no mistake about it. Unlearners everywhere must be overjoyed that the deceptive strategies employed by the Bush administration in promoting the war with Iraq are finally reaching a mass audience. Once again, Moore's genius at communicating powerful messages to the middle and working classes is on display. In spite of all of Mr. Moore's efforts though, little will be done to change the status quo except that people will believe things have changed. Nothing will be further from the truth. 

This website and others have forecasted a John Kerry victory in the upcoming November election as early as July of 2003. Remember at this time, if you will, that Senator Kerry was just a mere blip in the race for the nomination, which was largely being handed over to Howard Dean at the time. While the media raced to cover his campaign and then the Michael Moore-backed surge of Gen. Wesley Clark's candidacy, those awake enough in the world knew that Kerry's secret society connections, and more importantly his pedigree, all but secured his place as the next puppet president of the United States. 

This pattern is only a repeat of the 2000 election, where Bush had the higher peerage in his blood than his distant cousin Al Gore, and every election since the dawn of our “republic”. The difference between this election (if there is one), and the previous one is that the outcry against Bush will be so immense (partly due to Moore's film) that people will be fooled again into thinking that “democracy” works. 

While the burden of informing the masses as to the true nature of the power pyramid that controls the globe is not the sole responsibility of Mr. Moore, one cannot help but feel sadness that, as David Icke wrote on his website, an “opportunity had been missed.” 

What was that opportunity? It was the chance to devote as much time, possibly more, into expanding the real genius of the movie, which was the last 2 minutes of the film. In it, the Orwellian perpetual war economy is briefly outlined. Unfortunately, it is all too easy to assume from Moore's film that this is the brainchild of the Republican Party. 


Unlearners, and those in the throes of waking up, must remember that the Democratic Party is not the solution to what is ailing the country or the world. As the film dramatically demonstrated, not one US senator stood to oppose the unconstitutional power grab of George W. Bush in 2000. All but a few Democrats voted for the now unpopular Patriot Acts which are making it easy for governments to shred constitutional liberties. And almost every single one of them authorized the president to wage war on the world in the guise of eradicating terror networks. 

By failing to equally expose Democratic complicity in the sorry state of American politics, Michael Moore shows himself to be a student whose work is sorely incomplete. It may be another four years before Americans figure out they've been played yet again. What the world will look like by that time is anybody's guess (though the powerful certainly have a detailed plan). 

In the meantime, unlearners everywhere are encouraged to seek out and support those who are trying to expose the global game for what it is. Far more important, however, is for each of us to grow in strength and resolve to not be manipulated when the next big event is used as an attempt to “pull your strings” into surrendering more power. If diligent in this latter recommendation, then soon there won't be any strings for others to pull at all. What kind of show will we have without puppets? 
Whose Life are You Living?

Two Americas

By Walter Williams
Baltimore Sun - Originally published July 6, 2004
http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/opinion/oped/bal-op.economy06jul06,0,2973575.story?coll=bal-oped-headlines

[John Edwards' campaign highlighted the theme of two
Americas; the reality that America is failing the
bottom 90 percent of the country. Now that he's on Team
Kerry, will Edwards' fundamentally class-based analysis
translate into political garnish or real economic
transformation? Walter Williams takes another look at
the reality of class warfare in 2004 America. -
tompaine.com http://www.tompaine.com/opinion/#000832]

SEN. JOHN EDWARDS' compelling campaign theme of Two
Americas should be returned to center stage. Worsening
income disparities - greater than at any time since the
1920s - have produced two critical gaps that threaten
American democracy.

Upper-middle- and upper-class families that constitute
the top 10 percent of the income distribution are
prospering while many among the remaining 90 percent
struggle to maintain their standard of living. Further,
a widening chasm separates the 13,400 families, who on
average earn just under $24 million a year, from
everyone else.

Two Americas has undone the historic balance between
the nation's two most important values: liberty and
equality, which pull in different directions. Liberty
implies that people have full freedom to do as they
choose with their resources. Equality of economic
opportunity requires a fair start for all those in the
race toward success.

Today, the continuing imbalance between liberty and
equality jeopardizes ordinary citizens' economic
opportunities, and hence their middle-class status. Yet
democracy in America demands a prospering middle class.
The imbalance also raises the specter of an aristocracy
of wealth, which was anathema to the nation's Founders.

From 1970 to 2000 (adjusted for inflation), the bottom
90 percent's average income stagnated at $27,000 a
year. The top 10 percent experienced an average yearly
income increase of nearly 90 percent, from $119,000 in
1970 to $225,000 in 2000. The top one-hundredth percent
had their average yearly incomes skyrocket by
$20,327,482 between 1970 and 2000.

Education provides a stark comparison between the
wealthiest families and those struggling at the bottom.
Horace Mann, an elite New York City private school,
will have a tuition of $26,100 beginning in September.
The price may seem high, but it offers the kind of
rigorous educational setting that qualifies its
graduates for Ivy League schools and similar top-of-
the-line institutions.

At Edward Williams Elementary, the poorest school in
Mount Vernon, N.Y., 97 percent of the students were
black, 90 percent received free lunches and nearly 10
percent lived in homeless shelters.

When reports were assigned during Black History Month
on famous black Americans, the library shelves yielded
little help. Despite there being numerous books, New
York Times columnist Michael Winerip pointed out, much
of the collection is from the 1950s and 1960s and
before, when this was a white school.

The Williams Elementary students likely will work in
dead-end jobs rather than graduate from any four-year
college.

The limited life chances of these poor black students
is so at odds with the country's long-held vision of a
fair start in life that it is best described as un-
American.

In Liberal Purposes: Goods, Virtues and Diversity in
the Liberal State, the centrist social philosopher
William Galston wrote: The life chances of individuals
should not be determined by such factors as race,
economic class, and family background. But the many
Williams Elementary-like schools around the nation make
a mockery of any claim of a fair start.

Kerry and the war
by Leon Wofsy

http://homepage.mac.com/leonwofsy July 5, 2004:

Why is Kerry failing to distinguish himself clearly
from Bush on the Iraq war and occupation?

After all, there are others in establishment circles
who differ sharply on the war policies of the Bush
Administration. Gore, Kennedy, Byrd, and even
Brezhinsky, the inveterate cold warrior of yesteryear,
stand out in opposition. Several articles by George
Soros, the multibillionaire, are strikingly lucid
challenges to delusions of American supremacy and
empire.

Part of the answer undoubtedly involves judgment on
election strategy (poor judgment, in the opinion of
many). It's the notion that the campaign must
accommodate to an electorate that has been moved center
and right since the days of Ronald Reagan. That's the
strategy that - with the help of dirty tricks and the
Supreme Court - gave the White House to George W. Bush
in 2000. It is amplified this time around by
intimidation, the fear of appearing weak and out of
step with Bush's holy war on terror.

There's another part to the answer that's even more
deeply rooted than political pragmatism. That is the
commitment to US global dominance that is effectively
required of anyone who has a real hope of becoming
President in the current climate. Kerry's most
influential backers surely share the widespread alarm
over the extremism of the Bush Administration. They
worry about the antagonism and isolation generated by
the recklessly aggressive war and foreign policy, and
likely also have misgivings about the GOP push toward a
monopoly of power and autocratic one party rule. But
for all their justified laments about Bush's
unilateralism, their worldview is based on exploiting
superpower advantage to gain universal acquiescence to
US leadership and imperial supremacy. Furthermore,
you only had to listen to Bob (the other) Kerry at the
9/11 hearings to recognize that not all hawks are
Republicans.

A realistic view of aspirations to US dominance in the
sweep of capitalist globalization doesn't minimize the
importance of the election outcome in November. There
is an enormous divide between the consequences of a
second term for Bush and a victory for Kerry. The plain
fact is that this administration is the most warlike
and anti-democratic in our history.  It may, however,
have engineered its own political downfall by
overreaching with its pre-emptive war doctrine, its
extravagant deceits, its fundamentalist Christian
social agenda, its Patriot Act and blatant favors to
its have more base. On the other hand, the
conglomerate social forces that oppose movement toward
a pseudo-fascist America are also capable of compelling
a progressive shift on major social and economic issues
and a saner approach to international problems. So
every vote against Bush is an act of hope, and a clear-
cut defeat for Bush would be a mandate for democratic
renewal.

True, defeating Bush would not by itself overcome the
damage done to American society and to the world in the
last couple of decades. It would, however, be more than
a sharp turn off the road to disaster. It could be a
new beginning in a long struggle for peace, justice,
equality and survival. Beyond blocking the crusaders of
the ultra-right, that struggle has to bring about a
great change in priorities, worldwide and in the United
States.  The 9/11 terrorist attack on the United States
and its exploitation to justify the blunderbuss
extremism of the Bush Administration have changed the
international and domestic agenda drastically. Banished
from attention are problems that most affect the future
of humanity and the needs of the majority of Americans.
The travesty is that only when combating poverty and
disease are at the top of the agenda can collective
efforts succeed against adherents of terrorism

I thought this might interest some of the people on PoliTech.

If you're a techie, like me, you've probably noticed that
Microsoft has been making a lot of noise about competing with
Google these days. Yahoo, too, has been active. In general, the
search engine space is starting to heat up again after several
years of google-dominance. And if you're running a website, for
yourself or for someone else, you've probably seen the Microsoft
search bot in your server logs. At least, you have if you pay
attention to your server logs and Microsoft can find your site
yet.
Now, don't get me wrong, competition is a good thing... but
competition from Microsoft is not. We all know that competition
from Microsoft involves things like cutting off their air
supply and aggressively wielding their desktop muscle and huge
cash reserves to get a foothold in the new market. Google's an
established player, but it's facing a fair amount of competition
and the current IPO can perhaps be taken as a hint that they are
vulnerable -- that is, sufficiently in need of cash that it might
affect their ability to respond to new players.
So it looks like Microsoft is trying to extend its overbearing
self into the search engine space, and the target at the top of
the list is Google. Now, as a Linux user, I understand two things
about this situation: first, Microsoft is not my friend; and
second, Google has been a very good friend.
So here's what I have to say: from now on, the Microsoft search
bot will be specifically excluded from my web sites via the
robots.txt file. The following entry should accomplish this:
User-agent: msnbot/*
Disallow: /
What that means is that I won't allow Microsoft's search engine
to index my websites. Google can, yahoo can... but Microsoft
can't. It's the website owner's version of an invisible boycott.
And if enough people do it, the Microsoft search engine will find
itself unable to search large segments of the web. And that means
that people who notice this won't want to search using
Microsoft's search engine.

Declan,
I can't recall if you covered last week's Canadian Supreme Court
decision involving online music and ISP liability.  If not, your
readers may be interested in my column out today that examines the
case. The column argues that the case may damage the music industry's
strategy of suing individual file sharers as one member of the court
offered a strong endorsement of respecting end user privacy in
interpreting copyright law, noting that the court should eschew an
interpretation that would encourage the monitoring or collection of
personal data gleaned from Internet-related activity within the
home. Column at

Balancing rights of creators, users
MICHAEL GEIST
LAW BYTES
Last week's Supreme Court online music tariff decision - popularly
known as the Tariff 22 case - culminated nine years of legal
wrangling as the Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers of
Music in Canada (SOCAN), a leading Canadian music collective, failed
in its attempt to pin a new royalty for downloaded music on Canada's
Internet service providers. The result marks another defeat for the
music industry that lost not only this case, but also received
signals from Canada's highest court that its file sharing litigation
may be in for further trouble.
 The Tariff 22 case dates back to 1995 when SOCAN first applied for a
new tariff for downloading online music. After four years of
hearings, the Copyright Board of Canada issued a decision in 1999
that largely absolved Internet Service providers from collecting such
a tariff.
 The case was appealed to the Federal Court of Canada, which ruled in
2002 that ISPs might be required to pay some royalties due to the
common practice of caching content on their servers to speed up its
delivery. The court reasoned potential liability was appropriate
since caching was not strictly necessary to deliver content and thus
it fell outside of the intermediary exemption found in the Copyright
Act.
 The Supreme Court last week overturned the Federal Court decision,
thus protecting the ability to deploy innovative technologies such as
caching that improve the efficiency of the Internet. Canadian ISPs
breathed a sigh of relief as the court concluded that when massive
amounts of non-copyrighted material are accessible to the end user,
it is not possible to impute to the Internet service provider, based
solely on the provision of Internet facilities, an authority to
download copyrighted material as opposed to non-copyrighted material.
Moreover, the court again emphasized the importance of a copyright
balance between creators and users, noting that the protection of
intermediaries such as ISPs is not a loophole in the Copyright Act,
but rather a critical part of the balance.
Although some in the music industry professed to be pleased by the
outcome, the decision marked a strong rejection of SOCAN's ISP
liability legal theory leaving the copyright collective with a
proposed tariff that few deep-pocketed ISPs will be required to pay.
 In fact, the decision may be even more damaging to the industry than
it appears at first blush. While the case does not directly address
peer-to-peer file sharing, many copyright experts openly speculated
about whether the Supreme Court might use the Tariff 22 case to
provide some insight into its views on peer-to-peer file sharing in
light of last March's federal court decision denying the Canadian
Recording Industry Association's request for information on the

Fahrenheit 9/11: The Sequel
a review by 9/11 skeptic Mark Robinowitz
http://www.oilempire.us/michaelmoore.html
Watching Fahrenheit 9/11 was a bittersweet experience for me.
It is nice that a small taste of the evidence compiled by the 9/11
skeptics movement has finally reached a mass audience.  But Moore's
blockbuster documentary is a weird mix of extremely good and
extremely bad, falsely blames Saudi Arabia as the perpetrator of
9/11, and missed blatantly obvious opportunities to provide the
audience with tools to understand why the Bush regime allowed 9/11
and invaded Iraq.
The blame the Saudis campaign is really a sophisticated effort to
lay the ground work for the forthcoming US invasion of Saudi Arabia.
The Saudis were merely a subcontractor in 9/11 (at most), since they
do not control the Air Force and NORAD's fighter planes that are
supposed to intercept off-course jet liners within minutes. While it
is unknown whether Moore realizes that he is playing into the
Project for a New American Century strategists (who seem eager to
declare Saudi Arabia an enemy of the US and put it toward the top of
the Countries We Must Invade list), his film Fahrenheit 9/11 will
certainly be seen as the dissident view of 9/11. The film did not
actually probe into the complicity of the Bush administration in the
event, it is merely a Limited Hang Out that blames Bush for
intelligence failures while pointing out (accurately) that the Bush
and Bin Laden families have business ties that date to the 1970s.
Bush at Booker Elementary: proof the usurper is not really the President
The footage of Bush reading My Pet Goat to second graders while
people burned in the towers is new to most people because of
self-censorship by the media that has avoided the issue for nearly
three years.  This scene is particularly damning because his aide did
not ask the President for a response when he told him that the
second tower had been hit.  A commander-in-chief would have replied
with inquires about the scrambling of fighter planes to intercept the
remaining off-course jets, but Bush continued with the bland photo-op
rather than make decisions that could have saved lives.  The Secret
Service also let Bush stay in the school for crucial minutes, which
was either unprecedented incompetence or proof that they knew that
Bush was not in danger from any of the hijacked planes.  Moore's
commentary suggested that Bush, while looking dumb and detached in
the schoolroom, might have been wondering if his friends the Saudis
had done this.   It is much more likely that Bush was thinking that
he had been told this event was coming, and now it was here.
The bittersweet aspect of Moore's inclusion of this key issue is the
likelihood that if the mainstream media - or even the so-called
alternative press - had discussed the strange behavior of George W.
Bush when told of the attacks, it could have empowered many more
citizens to break free of the post-9/11 trance, potentially
strengthening efforts to prevent the invasion of Iraq when it would
have saved many more lives.  How many Iraqi deaths are partially
responsible to the fear in the US media to expose the lies behind the
official story of 9/11?
Evidence Ignored in F/911
The most basic dichotomy for understanding 9/11 is whether it was a
surprise attack or allowed to happen.  Fahrenheit 9/11 carefully
steers clear of documenting the overwhelming evidence that at the
very least, 9/11 was deliberately allowed to happen to enable
long-planned efforts to seize the Middle East oil fields and impose
the Homeland Security police state.
Moore says that  This movie is perhaps the most thoroughly
researched and vetted documentary of our time. No fewer than a dozen
people, including three teams of lawyers and the venerable one-time
fact-checkers from The New Yorker went

Blue Jays first baseman speaks out against war
 / FOXSports.com
Posted: 2 days ago [July 4, 2004]
http://msn.foxsports.com/story/2557884

If the organist at the Toronto-Montreal game Sunday
breaks into a rousing version of God Bless America -
no sure thing, considering the game features a pair of
Canadian teams - don't look for Blue Jays outfielder
Carlos Delgado to be standing outside the dugout.

Delgado told the Toronto Star that he's been refusing
to stand outside the dugout for the song when it's
played in some American cities because I don't believe
it's right, I don't believe in the war.

Delgado has a history of speaking his mind about such
matters. He was the first high-profile athlete to speak
out against the U.S. Navy's presence in Vieques, Puerto
Rico, which until May of 2003 was the prime weapons
testing facility for the Atlantic Fleet.

Now the outspoken Puerto Rico native is voicing his
opinions about the war in Iraq. And he isn't mincing
words.

It's a very terrible thing that happened on Sept. 11,
he told the Star. It's (also) a terrible thing that
happened in Afghanistan and Iraq. I just feel so sad
for the families that lost relatives and loved ones in
the war.

But I think it's the stupidest war ever. Who are you
fighting against? You're just getting ambushed now. We
have more people dead now, after the war, than during
the war. You've been looking for weapons of mass
destruction. Where are they at? You've been looking for
over a year. Can't find them. I don't support that. I
don't support what they do. I think it's just stupid.

Remember the 1991 Gulf War:

 The Massacre of Withdrawing Soldiers

 On "The Highway of Death"


by Joyce Chediac
Commission of Inquiry for the International War Crimes Tribunal, 1992
 www.globalresearch.ca  8 July 2004

The URL of this article is: http://globalresearch.ca/articles/CHE407A.html



I want to give testimony on what are called the "highways of death." These are the two Kuwaiti roadways, littered with remains of 2,000 mangled Iraqi military vehicles, and the charred and dismembered bodies of tens of thousands of Iraqi soldiers, who were withdrawing from Kuwait on February 26th and 27th 1991 in compliance with UN resolutions.

U.S. planes trapped the long convoys by disabling vehicles in the front, and at the rear, and then pounded the resulting traffic jams for hours. "It was like shooting fish in a barrel," said one U.S. pilot. The horror is still there to see.

On the inland highway to Basra is mile after mile of burned, smashed, shattered vehicles of every description - tanks, armored cars, trucks, autos, fire trucks, according to the March 18, 1991, Time magazine. On the sixty miles of coastal highway, Iraqi military units sit in gruesome repose, scorched skeletons of vehicles and men alike, black and awful under the sun, says the Los Angeles Times of March 11, 1991. While 450 people survived the inland road bombing to surrender, this was not the case with the 60 miles of the coastal road. There for 60 miles every vehicle was strafed or bombed, every windshield is shattered, every tank is burned, every truck is riddled with shell fragments. No survivors are known or likely. The cabs of trucks were bombed so much that they were pushed into the ground, and it's impossible to see if they contain drivers or not. Windshields were melted away, and huge tanks were reduced to shrapnel.

"Even in Vietnam I didn't see anything like this. It's pathetic," said Major Bob Nugent, an Army intelligence officer. This one-sided carnage, this racist mass murder of Arab people, occurred while White House spokesman Marlin Fitzwater promised that the U.S. and its coalition partners would not attack Iraqi forces leaving Kuwait. This is surely one of the most heinous war crimes in contemporary history.

The Iraqi troops were not being driven out of Kuwait by U.S. troops as the Bush administration maintains. They were not retreating in order to regroup and fight again. In fact, they were withdrawing, they were going home, responding to orders issued by Baghdad, announcing that it was complying with Resolution 660 and leaving Kuwait. At 5:35 p.m. (Eastern standard Time) Baghdad radio announced that Iraq's Foreign Minister had accepted the Soviet cease-fire proposal and had issued the order for all Iraqi troops to withdraw to positions held before August 2, 1990 in compliance with UN Resolution 660. President Bush responded immediately from the White House saying (through spokesman Marlin Fitzwater) that "there was no evidence to suggest the Iraqi army is withdrawing. In fact, Iraqi units are continuing to fight. . . We continue to prosecute the war." On the next day, February 26, 1991, Saddam Hussein announced on Baghdad radio that Iraqi troops had, indeed, begun to withdraw from Kuwait and that the withdrawal would be complete that day. Again, Bush reacted, calling Hussein's announcement "an outrage" and "a cruel hoax."

Eyewitness Kuwaitis attest that the withdrawal began the afternoon of February 26, 1991 and Baghdad radio announced at 2:00 AM (local time) that morning that the government had ordered all troops to withdraw.

The massacre of withdrawing Iraqi soldiers violates the Geneva Conventions of 1949, Common Article III, which outlaws the killing of soldiers who are out of combat. The point of contention involves the Bush administration's claim that the Iraqi troops were retreating to regroup and fight again. Such a claim is the only way that the massacre which occurred could be considered legal under international law. But in fact the claim is false and obviously so. The troops were withdrawing and removing themselves from combat under direct orders from Baghdad that the war was over and that Iraq had quit and would fully comply with UN resolutions. To attack the soldiers returning home under these circumstances is a war crime.




Iraq accepted UN Resolution 660 and offered to withdraw from Kuwait through Soviet mediation on February 21, 1991. A statement made by George Bush on February 27, 1991, that no quarter would be given to remaining Iraqi soldiers violates even the U.S. Field Manual of 1956. The 1907 Hague Convention governing land warfare also makes it illegal to declare that no quarter will be given to withdrawing soldiers. On February 26, 1991, the following dispatch was filed from the deck of

GOP insiders shape postwar Iraq: Republican ties trump experience in coalitionDate: Sunday, June 20 @ 09:59:55 EDTTopic: Occupied Iraq
By Andrew Zajac, Chicago TribuneA little over a year ago, Stuart Bowen Jr. was lobbying for a company looking for work in the impending reconstruction of Iraq.A former longtime aide to President Bush, Bowen tapped administration contacts on behalf of URS Group, a consulting firm, and the company eventually landed contracts worth up to $30 million for overseeing Iraqi construction projects.Today, Bowen works for the Coalition Provisional Authority, the U.S.-led bureaucracy running Iraq. In his new job as inspector general, Bowen is the corruption watchdog over more than $20 billion of rebuilding, including the activities of URS, the company he represented.In moving from the Republican inner circle to the CPA leadership team, Bowen traveled a well-worn path.Although many CPA posts have been held by career
 government civil servants, numerous crucial slots have been filled by officials with strong GOP or conservative pedigrees. Passed over, in some cases, were diplomats and foreign policy specialists with backgrounds in Middle East issues or nation-building.In less than two weeks, the CPA is scheduled to hand over power to an interim Iraqi government. The jobs of most of the authority's 1,200 employees will be eliminated or folded into a giant U.S. Embassy under construction in Baghdad. A few positions, like Bowen's fiscal oversight of the reconstruction effort, will be preserved.It might be years before a final verdict is in on the CPA's stewardship of Iraq, and on whether the composition of the authority played a part in the outcome, for better or worse.Without question the coalition took on arduous and sometimes dangerous assignments. The difficult working conditions likely shrank the pool of talent willing to trade the comfortable routine of American
 life for months of austerity in a scorching desert climate amid a bloody insurgency.But already even some supporters of the March 2003 invasion of Iraq say the occupation's troubled course and the country's uncertain prospects for stable self-rule can be traced at least in part to a leadership team that valued political credentials over foreign policy expertise.Occupation planners often selected "ideologues without international experience who see the world through blinders," said Peter Galbraith, a senior career diplomat and an adviser to the Iraqi Kurdish leadership."I don't think the Iraq venture was doomed to fail," Galbraith said. "If we had had qualified people with time to plan and a coherent strategy, the situation . . . would certainly be better."Defense Department officials in charge of reconstruction wanted leaders who shared their belief that a capitalist democracy could be quickly installed in the country, said Tim Carney, a retired
 diplomat who was the occupation's adviser to the Iraqi Ministry of Industry and Minerals in spring of 2003. Such a rosy outlook ruled out many seasoned State Department hands.State, Defense schism"My understanding is that there was a vision in the Pentagon of Iraq moving quickly toward democracy, and many State Department people were perceived as believing that this was not possible," Carney said. As a result the Bush administration turned to officials who "were rather more conservative and Republican."CPA spokesman Dan Senor did not respond to repeated requests for comment. The CPA also did not provide a list of its senior officials.But interviews, news reports and CPA records bear out Carney's assessment.Among those chosen for leadership roles was Michael Fleischer, the brother of Bush's former press secretary, Ari Fleischer. Michael Fleischer, 48, a businessman, has been in charge of reviving the Iraqi economy.His

Well the liberals in Nazifornia should be delighted.  Don't they love state power?  
The state should have more and more power.  That's not the problem according to the 
liberals.  The problem is not that the state has too much power it's that the wrong 
people are in power.  Unfortunately, the liberals forget that power corrupts.

-Caveat Lector-





   An article written by Alexandra Robbins was published

   in this months Vanity Fair magazine regarding the origins

   of the SKULL and BONES.  ( make note there is always

   something relevent in Vanity Fair )



   I know where she got this information.  It was from

   a 1907 book published by the American Confederation of

   Initiates entitled  THE CYCLOPAEDIA of FRATERNITIES .


   It goes like this.  Prior to 1832 the Illuminati

   recruited their best and brightest from PHI BETA KAPPA.

   But with the murder of a Freemason ( a Captain Morgan in 1826 )

   there arose negative feelings towards Masons in general.


   And then was founded the ANTI-MASONIC PARTY around 1828.


   So a new spawning ground was created.  This is how the

   numbering scheme worked.  Phi Beta Kappa in the

   Greek alphabet is as follows.


   PHI -  21st letter in Greek Alphabet

   BETA -  2nd letter in Greek ALphabet

   KAPPA - 10th letter in Greek Alphabet


   Then each number is reduced to its lowest common denominator

   using the Pythagorean Skein method.


   PHI is  2 plus 1 equaling  3

   BETA is 0 plus 2 equaling  2

   KAPPA is 1 plus 0 equaling 1


   So the lowest numerological equivalent of PHI BETA KAPPA

   is 321.  Therefore the new lodge would be numbered

   322 for SKULL and BONES.


   There is always a double meaning to Illuminati numerology.


   SKULL and BONES was founded in 1832 and is LODGE NUMBER

   2 of a predecessor lodge located back in Germany. Hence

   the new numerological signature of

   SKULL and BONES equaling 322.  Both numerological

   meanings are valid.   Again from last months VANITY FAIR

   MAGAZINE ( the one slam-dunking ALEX JONES ) it says

   that the predecessor German Lodge is only called the ORDER.


   A September 1992 issue of the ECONOMIST MAGAZINE stated

   that the highest occult group in the world is the ORDER of

   the ILLUMINATI.  That however is incorrect. The highest

   occult group in the world is known as the GRAND BLACK

   DRUID COUNCIL.  It meets 4 times a year in the MASTER

   TEMPLE 13 blocks due north of the White House.



   What MISS ROBBINS didnt say was that at each college

   there is a TRIAD of FRATERNITIES and SORORITIES which

   interact with the HIGHER DEGREES of FREEMASONRY.



   At YALE UNIVERSITY the three are as follows:


   SKULL and BONES LODGE 322

   SCROLL and KEY SOCIETY  ( MISS ROBBINS own SORORITY )

   WOLFS HEAD SOCIETY ( the HIGHEST OCCULT FRATERNITY at YALE ).



   Each UNIVERSITY in the UNITED STATES is set up with a TRIAD.



   At the UNIVERSITY of TEXAS in AUSTIN one of the three is

   the girls sorority known only as the SPOOKS.   They live

   in a dormitory called the S.R.D. ( or SCOTTISH RITE

   DORMITORY ).


   One day each week the SPOOKS were all black leather

   minidresses and black leather boots..   One of the

   most famous of all the SPOOKS was voted fraternity

   sweetheart back in 1966.  Her name was KAY BAILEY.

   Her name now is SENATOR KAY BAILEY-HUTCHINSON.


   This is how it works. If you play ball with the elite

   you go places.


   It's like 1930's actress MAE WEST once said.

GOOD GIRLS GO TO HEAVEN. BAD GIRLS GO EVERYWHERE .

   Keep your eye on VANITY FAIR MAGAZINE.  There is ALWAYS

   something in it pertinent.


   The SEPTEMBER 2003 ISSUE was what might be called a KILLER.


   This issue still has me amazed. It dissected the TWO FACTIONS

   of EUROPEAN BLACK NOBILITY in meticulous detail.


   This TWO FACTION THING has been going on unbeknownst to

   the sheeple for centuries.


   Take a look.  There was the BONNIE PRINCE CHARLIE feud

   with KING GEORGE the SECOND in 1745.  There was the

   JAMES EDWARD STUART thing with WILLIAM of ORANGE in 1688.


   There was the KING GEORGE the 3rd thing with LOUIS the 16th

   in 1789. ( The French Revolution )


   There was the WORLD WAR ONE thing in 1914. The Hapsburgs

   and Hohenzollerns versus King George the 5th.


   And on and on it goes.  Vanity Fair devoted 50 pages

   to the royals in power and the royals out of power.

   PLus a 6 page foldout showing the whole family tree.



   It now appears that what GUNTHER RUSSBACHER told PROBE

   MAGAZINE and GERALDO RIVERA back in 1994 was correct all

   along.  But that we were too stupid to put it together.

   Live and learn.

[CTRL] Controlling The News June 1-5

2004-07-07 Thread William Shannon
-Caveat Lector-

http://www.thetruthseeker.co.uk/article.asp?ID=2013



Controlling the News June 1  5, 2004


TBRNews.org June 5, 2004

(July 1, 2004) This is going to be the most vicious Presidential election campaign on record and potentially the most dangerous. Bushs actions have politically polarized the American electorate and Moores Fahrenheit 9/11 documentary has made a bad situation for Bush far worse. We can see why the Mickey Mouse boys were terrified to touch this. They are very vulnerable and an infuriated Bush gang would take out their revenge on them for such a film. The danger lies in what probable actions Bush might take to swing the election that now is moving strongly against him. He is appealing to far right Christian groups, something that is sure to outrage more centrists and moderate religious groups. When these groups get the bit in their teeth, they become very vocal and often very vicious. 

More important, however, is the distinct possibility that Bush will start another military adventure, just before the election. Rumor at high levels has it that he will declare a state of emergency, based on faked reports, that North Korea and/or Iran are about to launch nuclear strikes against the American homeland and that he has ordered counterstrikes to defend this country. There are a significant number of Americans who would go for this. Hell, there are many Americans that believe Hussein controlled Al Quaeda, that the WTC was blown up by CIA missiles or plasmoid clouds or that Bush has helped the American economy instead of absolutely destroying its future growth. Unfortunately, both of these countries do have the Bomb and both are capable of retaliation or, worse, preemptive strikes against our troops in South Korea, Iraq or even Japan. Between Israel beating the drums for a US attack on Iran and Syria and Bushs toppling pole numbers, most of us are now seriously afraid of some Godawful adventure on the part of the Mission Accomplished lad. 

For previous reports see our Controlling the News archive: www.thetruthseeker.co.uk/category.asp?id=42 

SOME BACKGROUND 
Walter Storch - TBRNews.org

During the middle of March, 2003, tbrnews received an email from a man who claimed to be a mid-level executive with a major American television network. He stated in this, and subsequent, emails that he was in possession of thousands of pages of in-house memos sent from his corporate headquarters in New York City to the head of the networks television news department. He went on to say that these memos set forth directives about what material was, and was not, to be aired on the various outlets of the network. 

This individual claimed he was developing serious doubts about the strict control of media events and decided that he would pass this material along to someone who might make use of it. 

There was the question of his job security. If someone published his name, it would be certain he was not only fired but blackballed throughout his profession. 

If tbrnews.org would agree to protect his identity, he would send us these alleged thousands of pages of notes, going back to 2001. 

The proof of the pudding is in the eating so we accepted his caveats and he then sent to us by disk the pages he spoke of. All are on corporate stationary, signed or initialed by the senders and again, signed or initialed by the recipients in the news division. 

It was always possible that this material consisted of a very involved hoax or was something designed for the news site to use and then have it revealed that it was not original. It would not be the first time that spurious disinformation had been sent to us in the hopes that it would be used. 

There were not thousands of pages of memos but a total of 1,497 separate pages involved. Many of them consisted of short memos while others ran to a larger format. 

Naturally, someone could easily have obtained correct in-house network letterheads, made copies of them and prepared false memoranda but the sheer size and depth of the collection was impressive. 

If these memos were true, they showed with a terrible clarity that at least one part of the American mass media was strictly controlled and that the news was so doctored and spun that it might as well be official news releases from the White House and Pentagon. 
The best way in which to ascertain whether or not these documents contained original information was to check the dates of issuance and compare the information with subsequent news stories. 

This was a terrible, time-consuming chore but by selecting random memos and looking through the archives of various national newspapers, checking AP releases and so on, the results indicated that indeed, news was being managed. 

However, it was also possible that someone else did this and was preparing these after the fact and making the memos conform to published material. 

That having been said, we insisted on absolutely current memos so that we could

sororities that connect with the higher Masonic degrees.


I've been called a Liar dozens of times regarding this

information.  The latest time was one of JOHN STADTMILLER'S

friends who told me that no such books exist.

Subject: [UNIVERSALHUMANRIGHTS] Torture Complaint Against Canada

To UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Louise Arbour
(For her personal attention)

Dear Judge Arbour:

The web site below presents the complaint of POC and its 27 citizen
signatories. Further to our recently exchanged communications, Markus
Schmidt, Secretary of the Human Rights Committee has a file record of
these signatures.

If we are correct in our assessment that torture is being used as an
instrument of governance in Canada, then the urgent action
categorization of this complaint is warranted. The more such procedures
are entrenched by time, the more our citizens are endangered. We do not
think that the Supreme Court of Canada judgements on either side in the
Gosselin case meant for Life, Liberty and Security (Charter S.7) to be
systematically violated in government programming so extreme as to fit the
definition of torturous.

The governments of this country at any level could provide a domestic
remedy with ease. They have had such requests presented to them repeatedly
and in various ways. (1) What are the facts of MHR programming, if they do
not accept ours as presented below? (2) In what way do those facts fit or
not fit the definition of torture used by the UN?

Given that they will not provide the necessary information in these two
categories to put this matter to rest, would UNHCHR please do do? A ruling
which says Yes, the MHR procedures are torturous or No, the MHR
procedures are not torturous will not put the matter to rest. All
concerned need to know what facts are used in arriving at the judgement
and why those facts do or do not fit the accepted definition of torture.

But hopefully, the offices cc'd above can send this communication to their
experts who will save UNHCHR as well as Part of Citizens further time and
trouble.

Sincerely-Party of Citizens
(This letter as well as the wep pages below can be sent to one or more
POC directors for signing and postal mailing if that is required)

Dead Spooks Don't Lie(And Don't Deal Drugs Either) by CONSPIRACY PLANET
 War criminal and notorious CIA klller/ drug trafficker Ted Shackley, known as 'The Blond Ghost, died on December 9, 2002.The Ultimate Cold War Apparatchik, Ted Shackley was the notorious Director of 'Operation Phoenix' in Laos and Viet Nam, and thus responsible for a slaughter which claimed the lives of over 40,000 Vietnamese civilians under the guise of neutralizing communist sympathizers. According to many credible reports, Shackley was involved in covert and illicit drug trafficking and weapons sales as late as thenotorious Iran-Contra scandal, in which a huge quantity of weapons fell into terrorist hands.He took part in a scandalous affair in which Libyan terrorists under Muammar Quadaffi received weaponry and military training from the US. Behind the scenes, he was one of the most influential members of the CIA from the 1960s through the 1980s, being the Deputy Director to CIA DIrector George Herbert Walker Bush.Shackley was also the author of "The Third Option" (Dell Publishing), a guide for training indigenous homegrown terrorist groups in foreign lands, a failed and flawed policy which can be held responsible for the state of the world today.
An excellent analysis of Shackley's role in geo-politics and the rise of American Empire is included in the following excerpt from David Hoffman's "The Oklahoma City Bombing" --Or consider the words of Lt. Col. Bo Gritz, former commander of the Special Forces in Latin America and the most deccorated soldier in Vietnam. Gritz made a trip to the Golden Triangle in 1983 to search for American POWs, a mission that was ultimately stonewalled. Gritz believes the POWs are being used as drug mules, and the government doesn't want them returned alive, for fear they would expose the Octopus. As Gritz said: "[They] would not want the American POWs to come home. Because when they do, there will be an investigation as to why they were abandoned. At that time we will uncover this secret organization and its illicit drug money and financing. The Secret Team would then be exposed."[1122]As Gritz later wrote in Called to Serve:If Richard Armitage was, as Khun Sa avowed, a major participant in parallel government drug trafficking, then it explained why our efforts to rescue POWs had been inexplicably foiled, time after time... If it was true, Richard Armitage would be the last man in the world who would desire to see prisoners of war come home alive.[1123]As "Special Consultant to the Pentagon on the MIAs," in Bangkok in 1975, Armitage reportedly spent more time repatriating opium profits then recovering POWs. In 1976, when Khun Sa was still selling heroin to CIA officials, the head of the CIA was none other than George Bush.[1124]Former presidential candidate H. Ross Perot, who was appointed presidential investigator for POW/MIA affairs, came upon the same information, and was warned by former Defense Secretary Frank Carlucci to stop pursuing the connections to Armitage. As he sadly explained to a group of POW/MIA families in 1987: "I have been instructed to cease and desist."[1125]Ironically, between 1987 and 1991, Vice-President Bush served as head of the South Florida Drug Task Force, and later as chair of the National Narcotics Interdiction System, both set up to "stem" the flow of drugs into the U.S. While Bush was drug czar, the volume of cocaine smuggled into the U.S. tripled.[1126]Celerino "Cele" Castillo, the DEA's head agent in El Salvador and Guatemala from 1985 to 1991, told reporters and Senate investigators of numerous known drug traffickers who used hangers controlled by Oliver North and the CIA in El Salvador's Ilopango military airbase. When Castillo naively tried to warn Bush at a U.S. embassy party in Guatemala,

NY POST
2 PALESTINIAN YANKS SLAIN BY MISTAKE

By URI DAN

July 7, 2004 -- Two Palestinian-Americans were killed by accident yesterday when
Israeli forces blasted a West Bank terrorist commander with rockets, authorities
said.

Khaled Saleh, an American citizen teaching at A-Najah University, and his
16-year-old son were killed during a fierce shootout in Nablus.

Officials said an Israeli raid led to a gun battle in which a naval commando and
a senior official of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine were
killed.

The group's head in Nablus, Emad Farej, escaped to the roof of a nearby
four-story building where he continued firing and managed to wound two Israeli
soldiers.

The Israeli commander, Gadi Eizenkrot, ordered a rocket attack - which killed
Farej but also Saleh and his son. Eizenkrot later apologized.

Also yesterday, Israel's internal-security minister said there was no doubt
that Jewish militants were ready to kill Prime Minister Ariel Sharon because of
his planned Gaza Strip withdrawal.

There are those who have already made the decision, that when the time comes
they will save the people of Israel, Tzachi Hanegbi said.

 Sharon was quoted as telling members of his coalition government, All my life
I protected and defended Jews. It's sad that now I need to be defended from
them.

MKULTRA

The purpose of the CIA's MKULTRA was to research and develop methods of covert control of unwitting people for exploitation by government defense and intelligence agencies. Drugs, hypnosis, electronics, and psychology (including parapsychology and the occult) were their basic research areas. Like any good scientists they thoroughly reviewed the historical documentation which related to their areas of interest. They farmed out experimental projects to a list of prestigious universities and to government agencies such as the National Institute of Health and the National Institute of Mental Health (these also funded their university contract work with grants). 
The chief officers, MKULTRA Director Dr. Sidney Gottlieb, and his superior, Richard Helms, when their pernicious activities came to light, burned all the records (fortunately overlooking boxes of financial records that had been stored separately). They did what they could -- which was considerable -- to keep the general public and responsible government authorities from knowing what they were up  to, as well as the precise reasons for it. Some things are generally understood, however. Gottlieb, Helms, and other knowledgeable officials were required to testify before Congress, many of them have been interviewed by writers, and some of the science which their researchers originated has been replicated outside of their curtain of secrecy. So there is information from fairly reliable sources. The waters, however, have been muddied by purposeful disinformation as well as by conspiracy theory fanaticism and paranoia. It is not always possible to know where to draw the line. 
Although government mind-control projects were in operation as early as the 1940's (during which along with other things the Russian, drug-brainwash "show trials" were studied), MKULTRA, which both grew out of them and absorbed some of them, began operating about the time that the North Koreans were brainwashing POWs with a little help from their Chinese friends (1950s). And the Chinese techniques motivated them to do a little reverse engineering, that is, the Americans copied the Chinese methods. But they did not limit themselves to just that.
The Penetration of Off-Beat religions

Author Miles Copland states that when the CIA’s Special Projects Division makes "connections with international religious groups for the purposes of aiding or supplementing espionage operations (it) is almost as touchy an issue as its association with criminal rings. To start with, Jewish and Catholic organizations are out. . . . Organizations stemming from other religions are fair game, however." And he quotes one CIA official as saying that before they "tie into a religious group it’s got to be so offbeat that anyone in the agency who belongs to it may be fired as a security risk." 
The records show that shortly before The URANTIA Book was published, the CIA began an extensive search for, and development of exceptionally-gifted persons exhibiting perfect esp performance (1952), and the following year MKULTRA planted at least one “very specialized observer” at seances, seeking a “broad surveillance of all individuals attending meetings”. In studying the literature they would have undoubtedly encountered Dr. Sadler, who might be characterized as the "midwife" of The URANTIA Book had previously published writings debunking spiritualism. From them MKULTRA's analysts would have learned about the "contact personality" and might have been very interested.

House vote about Israel ignores attempts for peace
July 7, 2004

Again the United States has shown that it is not really interested in addressing the causes of terrorism, nor the rule of law, by the overwhelming vote in the U.S. House recently to endorse the most egregious of Israels positions regarding settlements in the West Bank and Gaza.

Our elected representatives have agreed that taking over another countrys lands is good policy, similar to our behavior in Iraq. This time it is the United States agreeing with Israel that separating people from their land, their livelihoods, even their life is acceptable if they are militarily superior and state that they are afraid.

The U.N. Security Council stated that Israel should withdraw from those lands in return for certain guarantees from Palestinian groups that they would not attack Israeli citizens. Palestinians and Israelis worked together to create the Geneva Initiative that both could support and that addressed peace between them.

Our representatives, including Darlene Hooley, voted to ignore these attempts at peace, even our own road map for peace.

May we not reap the results of our beating plowshares into swords.

We must withdraw our funding of Israel.

Elie Wiesel: Madman or Commissar?

By Mickey Z. 

 Parade Magazine took full advantage of Independence (sic) Day falling on a Sunday by hiring none other than Elie Wiesel to pen a little something called The America I Love for their patriotic cover story. Over a two-page spread, the Nobel Laureate explained how America for two centuries, has stood as a living symbol of all that is charitable and decent to victims of injustice everywhere...where those who have are taught to give back. The perpetually disheveled Wiesel explained that in the U.S., compassion for the refugee and respect for the other still have biblical connotations. 

Those same thoughts coming from a housewife in Peoria or truck driver in Boise are typically chalked up to ignorance so, perhaps Elie Wiesel is just an idiot...too simple-minded to discern reality from fantasy. But we cant let him off the hook so easily when, after reminding usyet againof his Holocaust experiences, the winner of the Presidential Medal of Freedom admits, U.S. history has gone through severe trials (apparently this is how Nobel Peace Prize winners think: its history that undergoes trials). Ever careful to point out his bearing witness to the civil rights movement (and equally careful to avoid explaining what that means), Wiesel calls anti-black racism scandalous and depressing. But, take heart, black America, because dear Elie adds racism as such has vanished from, the American scene. 

Roll over, Mumia...and tell Leonard Peltier the news. 

Wiesel deigns to mention a few more of Americas indiscretions but is at the ready to explain: No nation is composed of saints alone. None is sheltered from mistakes and misdeeds (more scholarly talk: mistakes, not policy"). America is always ready to learn from its mishaps, he writes. Self-criticism remains its second nature. 

This is the territory of madmen and commissars. Who else speaks such words...and is convinced they speak the truth? Precisely what kind of man is this professional sufferer, Elie Wiesel? Here are two peeks behind the myth: 

While Wiesels documentation of the Nazi Holocaust has earned him international acclamation and a Nobel Peace Prize, he is not always predisposed to yield the genocide victims spotlight. In 1982, for example, a conference on genocide was held in Israel with Wiesel scheduled to be honorary chairman, but the situation became complicated when the Armenians wanted in. Heres how Noam Chomsky described the incident: The Israeli government put pressure upon [Wiesel] to drop the Armenian genocide. They allowed the others, but not the Armenian one. He was pressured by the government to withdraw, and being a loyal commissar as he is, he withdrew...because the Israeli government had said they didnt want Armenian genocide brought up. 

Wiesel went even further, calling up noted Israeli Holocaust historian, Yehuda Bauer, and pleading with him to also boycott the conference. That gives an indication of the extent to which people like Elie Wiesel were carrying out their usual function of serving Israeli state interests, Chomsky explains, even to the extent of denying a holocaust, which he regularly does. 

Why not welcome the Armenians, you wonder? Chalk it up to two conspicuous factors: the need to monopolize the Holocaust image and the geopolitical reality that Turkey (the nation responsible for the Armenian genocide) is a rare and much-needed Muslim ally for Israel. 

In Parade, Wiesel also speaks of brave American soldiers bringing rays of hope to the people of Iraq. However, such rays were not welcome in Central and South America when Israel served as a U.S. proxy for proving arms to murderous regimes like that of Guatemala. In 1981, shortly after Israel agreed to provide military aid to this oppressive regime, a Guatemalan officer had a feature article published in the armys Staff College review. In that article, the officer praised Adolf Hitler, National Socialism, and the Final Solution --quoting extensively from Mein Kampf and chalking up Hitlers anti-Semitism to the discovery that communism was part of a Jewish conspiracy. Despite such seemingly incompatible ideology, Israels estimated military assistance to Guatemala in 1982 was $90 million. 

What type of policies did the Guatemalan government pursue with the help they received from a nation populated with thousands of Holocaust survivors? Consider the words of Gabriel, one of the Guatemalan freedom fighters interviewed in 1994 by Jennifer Harbury: In my country, child malnutrition is close to 85 percent. Ten percent of all children will be dead before the age of five, and this is only the number actually reported to government agencies. Close to 70 percent of our people are functionally illiterate. There is almost no industry in our countryyou need land to survive. Less than 3 percent of our landowners own over 65 percent

 Judge Dismisses Lawsuit by Fired FBI TranslatorBy
 Ted Bridis
 Associated Press Writer

 WASHINGTON (AP) - A federal judge threw out a
 lawsuit Tuesday by a whistle-blower who alleged
 security lapses in the FBI's translator program,
 ruling that her claims might expose government
 secrets that could damage national security.
 U.S. District Judge Reggie B. Walton said he was
 satisfied with claims by Attorney General John
 Ashcroft and a senior FBI official that the civil
 lawsuit by Sibel Edmonds could expose
 intelligence-gathering methods and disrupt
 diplomatic relations with foreign governments.
 The judge said he couldn't explain further because
 his explanation itself would expose sensitive
 secrets.
 Edmonds, a former contract linguist for the FBI,
 said she will appeal the ruling. She alleged in her
 lawsuit that she was fired in March 2002 after she
 complained to FBI managers about shoddy wiretap
 translations and told them an interpreter with a
 relative at a foreign embassy might have compromised
 national security.
 Edmonds said the judge dismissed her lawsuit without
 hearing evidence from her lawyers, although the
 government's lawyers met with Walton at least twice
 privately. She noted that Walton, the judge, was
 appointed by President Bush.
 This shows how the separation of power has
 basically disappeared, Edmonds said in a telephone
 interview. The judge ruled on this case without
 actually this ever being a case.
 In his decision, Walton acknowledged that dismissing
 a lawsuit before the facts of the case can be heard
 is Draconian and said he was throwing out the
 lawsuit with great consternation.
 Mindful of the need for virtual unfettered access
 to the judicial process in a governmental system
 integrally linked to the rule of law, the court
 nonetheless concludes that the government has
 properly invoked the state secrets privilege,
 Walton ruled.
 Edmonds' lawyer, Mark S. Zaid, called the decision
 another example of the executive branch's abuse of
 secrecy to prevent accountability.
 The judiciary seems to be unwilling to do anything
 but capitulate to assertions of national security,
 Zaid said.
 The Justice Department's inspector general is
 investigating whether the FBI retaliated against
 Edmonds, who was subjected to a security review
 after she raised allegations of security lapses. The
 bureau said problems with Edmonds' performance were
 behind the dismissal.
 The FBI translator program has played a significant
 role in interpreting interviews and intercepts of

What if the Moonshine City venture announced by Pres. Bush should become
a private corporation? Moonshine City Corp. To whom would it be
responsible? Some modern corps have bigger budgets than most nations of
this world. Why should Moonshine Corp be accountable to any nation?

[CTRL] suing vatican bank, Oregon archdiocese Ch. 11, Mahony in LA

Clergy abuse cases refocus attention on LA cardinal's time as Stockton bishop Gillian Flaccus, 7/2/04 Los Angeles (AP) "The case of a notorious molester from the Roman Catholic Diocese of Stockton has come back to vex Los Angeles Cardinal Roger Mahony, who testified at a 1998 civil trial involving the former priest. Six lawsuits accusing ex-priest Oliver O'Grady of abuse were filed last year, under a California law that lifted for one year the statute of limitations in old sex-abuse cases. Now plaintiffs' lawyers want to discover what Mahony knew about the activities of O'Grady, a former Stockton priest who pleaded guilty in 1993 to molesting two brothers and served seven years in prison before being deported to his native Ireland. Mahony was bishop in Stockton from 1980 to 1985, during part of O'Grady's tenure there." http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/news/archive/2004/07/02/national1724EDT0659.DTL

Oregon Archdiocese Files for Bankruptcy 7/7/04 by Rukmini Callimachi, AP Portland, Ore. "Being molested by a priest left James Devereaux with nobody to confess to. What he could not find at the confessional as a boy, Devereaux hoped he would find in court as a man. But just as Devereaux and his lawyer were preparing to sue the late Rev. Maurice Grammond, the Portland Archdiocese announced Tuesday it was filing for bankruptcy. The archdiocese took action because of the steep costs from clergy sex abuse lawsuits, halting the trial of a lawsuit against Grammond, accused of sexually abusing more than 50 boys in the 1980s. Devereaux said he would persevere despite the Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing, an unprecedented step that could open the Roman Catholic archdiocese to new levels of court scrutiny." http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=storycid=519e=5u=/ap/20040707/ap_on_re_us/archdiocese_bankruptcy

Suing Vatican Bank, Insurance Official Charges Racketeering Jackson, Miss.--(AP) The torching of financier Martin Frankel's $3 million mansion in Greenwich, Connecticut, was meant to destroy evidence of an insurance scam that cost Mississippi and other states millions, police saidThe financier, who initially fled to Europe, was extradited and pleaded guilty in 2002 in Mississippi to stealing $208 million in five states. But that did not end the case for Mississippi Insurance Commissioner George Dale. While unraveling Frankel's web of trickery, Dale found a thread that led into the secretive halls of the VaticanIn a lawsuit Dale filed, which is moving toward a jury trial in U.S. District Court in Jackson, he claims Vatican officials violated the federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act. Damages, if Dale prevails, could be more than $600 million. A Vatican spokesman denies the Roman Catholic church profited from business dealings with Frankel or accepted funds he stole. The church has filed a motion to dismiss the suit for lack of jurisdiction, and a ruling is expected this summer." http://www.beliefnet.com/story/148/story_14872_1.html

Kenny-Boy and George 
By William Rivers Pitt 
t r u t h o u t | Perspective 
Wednesday 07 July 2004 
You have to love the irony: Since Kerry 
announced his VP choice of John Edwards, the Bush campaign has 
broadbanded the anti-Edwards slam that he is nothing more than your 
basic gutter-dwelling trial lawyer. This comes blithely on the heels of 
Bush hiring his own trial lawyer to protect him during the 70-minute 
Oval Office interrogation he endured regarding the Valerie Plame 
CIA-outing case some weeks ago. Everyone hates lawyers until they need 
one, it seems. 
Perhaps Bush doesn't like trial lawyers 
because a team of them failed to keep his long-time friend and financial 
backer, Kenneth Lay, from getting his hide nailed to the shed in 
Houston. According to CNN, Lay was indicted by a Texas grand jury today 
for crimes relating to the apocalyptic Enron scandal. The indictment is 
sealed until further notice, so no determination of the exact criminal 
charges can be made. 
Damn lawyers. 
For those who cannot quite recall the 
specifics of Ken Lay and Enron, a bit of background is in order. Lay, 
along with Andrew Fastow, Jeffrey Skilling and some dozens of other 
high-flying bosses from Enron, are accused of insider trading, 
securities fraud, wire fraud, conspiracy, manipulation of earnings 
reports to hide the fact that Enron was hemorrhaging cash from every 
pore while they reaped massive salaries and bonuses, and finally, 
manipulation of the California energy market for no other reason than to 
wring pin money out of grandmothers who were forced to live in the dark 
because they couldn't afford to pay their Enron-inflated energy bills. 
Tape recordings of Enron energy traders were 
recently aired by CBS News. In one segment, the traders can be heard 
discussing the ins and outs of manipulating the California energy 
market. "They're fucking taking all the money back from you guys?" 
complains one Enron employee. "All the money you guys stole from those 
poor grandmothers in California?" The response: "Yeah, grandma Millie, 
man." Another response: "Yeah, now she wants her fucking money back for 
all the power you've charged right up, jammed right up her asshole for 
fucking $250 a megawatt hour." 
Charming. 
In filing the largest bankruptcy claim in the 
history of the universe, Lay and his merry men cost investors somewhere 
in the neighborhood of $30 billion. This wiped out retirement benefits 
not just for the Enron employees who were forbidden from selling their 
stock (while Lay et al. happily shucked theirs off to the tune of a $1.1 
billion profit), but also wiped out the retirement portfolios of 
millions of Americans who had put their savings into Enron stock. The 
resulting carnage on Wall Street, which erased the accounting giant 
Arthur Andersen, did even more financial damage. 
Martha Stewart was convicted of crimes that 
seem quaint by comparison, and meanwhile Mr. Lay has been walking free 
and happy. How did the priorities of the Justice Department get so far 
out of whack on this one? The Enron debacle happened in December of 
2001, and it has taken them almost a thousand days to
