Behind the Power Curve: 
Bush's Epitaph?
Lost in the Folds of Iraq and North 
Korea
By BILL CHRISTISONformer CIA political analyst
A few 
decades ago, a cliché invaded Washington's bureaucracies. It was a cliché that 
many of us self-decreed sophisticates in the U.S. foreign-policy establishment 
came to use, and then shamelessly overuse, to belittle anyone (sometimes a 
superior, more often a competitor in another agency) who happened to disagree 
with the one's own views. Low-voiced comments about this or that #$* SOB 
being "way behind the power curve" filtered into government conference rooms, 
dining rooms, and even hallways. Until it succumbed to parody from the crescendo 
of overuse, this was truly a multi-purpose cliché. It sounded so good that some 
of us would, pompously and with just the right profession of cynicism and 
self-deprecation, apply it in a less insulting way to ourselves. As in, "We 
can't afford to fall behind the power curve on this one [i.e., any issue that 
seemed important at the moment], so here's what I think we ought to 
do."
The "power curve" itself normally went undefined, but the 
very word "power" elicited, as was intended, knowing nods and narrowed eyes 
suggesting that most users or hearers of the cliché, at least those who valued 
their positions in the bureaucracy, wished to be seen as hard pragmatists with a 
lesser interest in "unrealistic" ethics, morals, or principles. Not 
surprisingly, the dominance of this cliché coincided with the early 1970s, the 
last years of the Nixon administration.
Today there are grounds for hope that the Bush 
administration itself is already falling irretrievably behind the power curve of 
its own amoral and unprincipled pragmatism. The immediate reason for such hope 
arises from the embarrassment and bumbling inside the administration over the 
inconsistencies between U.S. policies toward Iraq on the one hand and toward 
North Korea on the other. We need to look at recent history to see why recent 
events concerning North Korea, assuming they are ultimately resolved without an 
East Asian nuclear holocaust, should be seen as a positive development by those 
of us who want peace and justice in the Middle East as well as in East Asia in 
the next few decades, rather than more wars initiated by the United 
States.
Early in 2001, far-right, hawkish, and violence-prone 
governments took power at roughly the same time in both the U.S. and Israel. The 
leaders of the two new governments had already developed a very good personal 
and political chemistry with each other. The events of September 11 further 
strengthened the ties between them as they became ever-firmer allies in the War 
on Terrorism and quickly agreed on each other's highly selective definitions of 
who were terrorists and evil-doers (and who were not). A few months later, Bush 
lumped Iraq, Iran, and North Korea into an Axis of Evil in his January 2002 
state-of-the-union address to Congress. Then, egged on by Vice President Cheney, 
Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld, and a small but very influential group of 
pro-Likud neo-cons scattered through the administration, as well as by U.S. 
Christian fundamentalist leaders who solidly support both Bush's and the Sharon 
government's present policies, the president spent much of the year 2002 
ratcheting up the pressures for war against Iraq. Actually, the neo-con 
officials in the U.S. and Likud leaders in Israel have been pressing for the 
ouster of the present Iraqi government for the past decade.
On the issue of Iraq, disagreement within the 
administration, largely from Secretary of State Powell and a few former 
officials like Brent Scowcroft, has slowed the Bush drive toward war since the 
early fall of 2002. But so far at least, Powell has been willing to confront 
Bush only on the issue of unilateralism. Right now, the odds on what will happen 
over the next month or two run something like this.
First, there is a tiny chance that in response to a 
low-key Arab campaign, Saddam Hussein will take up a proposal that he resign and 
accept sanctuary in some Arab land. The U.S. conceivably could then decide it 
was impossible to go to war. Not a good bet.
Second, a larger but still pretty minuscule chance exists 
that a successful coup attempt against Saddam will take place and bring about 
regime change, thus putting off at least temporarily Washington's need for 
war.
Third, a considerably greater but still less than 
fifty-fifty chance exists that the current inspection scenario will play out to 
an impasse in which so many of the nations now on the U.N. Security Council will 
refuse to support the U.S., and Colin Powell will oppose Bush so strongly, that 
Bush himself will back off and at least postpone a war for some months or an 
entire year.
Fourth and most likely (here the odds are definitely 
greater then fifty-fifty), the Bush administration will start a war against Iraq 
in the

 Madonna reportedly fed up with English way of life
 January 6 2003

 US pop star Madonna, who ascended into Britain's high society with her
marriage to film
 director Guy Ritchie, said she is fed up with everything that is
English, according to a
 British press report.
 The 44-year-old vegetarian and yoga convert, thinks hunting game and deer
is barbaric,
 and so much so, that she will no longer tolerate 34-year-old husband Guy's
involvement in
 the sport at their home in Wiltshire, south-west England.
 The deeper problem however, according to the Daily Mail, is that Madonna's
love affair with
 the English way of life is coming to an end.
 She hates the weather, the people, and above all hunting, the report
said, and besides,
 Guy's hunting parties with his friends are too buddyish for her.
 Madonna, who was enthusiastic at first, fitted herself out from
head-to-toe in traditional
 tweeds, a hunting cap and rubber boots but later told her husband why he
should retreat
 from the sport.

 Her decision was made on the basis of protecting the souls of the poor
birds who were
 being shot.
 But according to the Mail, Madonna only came to this realisation after her
own shooting
 abilities proved to be a total flop.

Palestinian olive trees sold to 
rich IsraelisBy Alan Philps in 
Jerusalem(Filed: 28/11/2002) 
Israel's Defence Ministry is investigating reports 
that Palestinian olive trees uprooted to make way for a security 
fence are being sold illegally to rich Israelis and town councils, 
sometimes for thousands of pounds each.
The illegal trade in olive trees has flourished as 
Israeli contractors, supported by armed guards, clear Palestinian 
agricultural land where an 80-mile electronic fence is being built 
to seal off the West Bank.
Thousands of olive trees have been dug up to make way 
for the 150-ft wide barrier and security zone. Its route usually 
passes inside Palestinian territory, not along the old pre-1967 
border, and thousands of Palestinian farmers say their livelihood is 
being taken away.
Sale of the olive trees emerged after the owner of a 
contracting company offered two reporters from a popular Israeli 
newspaper, Yedioth Ahronoth, 100 large olive trees for £150 
each.
The reporters found one enormous tree, said to be 600 
years old, on sale at an Israeli plant nursery for £3,500. They said 
the trade was conducted with the complicity of an official in the 
civil administration, the Israeli military government in the 
occupied territories.
Olive trees are extremely hardy, can live for 
hundreds of years and will often stand transplanting. Gnarled old 
specimens which are claimed, with some exaggeration, to have been 
alive at the time of Jesus are much sought after for gardens of the 
rich or city parks.
The Defence Ministry, which is in charge of the 
security fence, said it had launched an investigation. "The ministry 
pays contractors for uprooting and replanting and, in their 
contract, there is no clause that allows for trade in the trees. If 
there is such a trade, it is a criminal activity," it said.
Some contracts require the olive trees to be 
relocated to areas suggested by their owners outside the 
Israeli-declared security zone. But Yael Stein, researcher for 
B'tselem, an Israeli human rights organisation, said: "We have never 
seen any relocation. The contractors cannot just sell the trees. 
That is theft."
While the trees may be ornaments to Israelis, olives 
are the lifeblood of Palestinian agriculture, almost the only crop 
which grows on the stony hillsides of the West Bank without 
irrigation. Most Palestinians are unemployed

Well first of all it has to be said that 
Britiains press have had a field day last week in the press and it does 
not look like it will abate. What a good time for the british government to bury 
bad news! But watch out America it is coming your way as Mr Burrell butler to 
the late Diana Princess of Wales tells his story as I gather he is in New York 
and you or some of you cannot help put turn on the TV to listen to the 
revelations...we are all human after all and no one is past listening to a bit 
of scandal to remove us from the daily plod of life.
BUT remove all the sordid details and 
look at the main item and that is for the first time in british history the 
Queen stepped in and stopped a trial by a wave of the royal wand.This is 
absolutely unbelievable..so ask your self Why would she do this?Are the royal 
family tying to cover up something that has happened in the past that Diana knew 
or that the butler knew?
Did she do it of her own free will or was 
she told to do it?
Certainly by the allegations of rape in 
the royal household now emerging one would think so but I think not...There is 
probably something bigger yet to come
I also believe the republicans have much 
to do with this and that Mr Blair by his unprecedented leaking of what was to be 
given in her speech (The Observer on Sunday) in the opening of the houses of 
parliament was a warning to her majesty to watch her back.
If MI5 have been listening on Royal 
conversations for the last 20 years and remember who they work for.then my 
guess is this is a warning shot accross her majesties bows (to put it in 
nautical terms) If the queen in her weekly chats with the primeminister has even 
suggested that this war on iraq is not acceptable then she is in deep shit! And 
the shit has hit the fan in the way of a wake up call
There is something very dark going on in 
british politics at the moment and it aint anything to do with what the butler 
saw

[CTRL] Global elite Dead?

The Final Death Throes of 
  the Global Elite by Paul 
  Wilson 
  

  


  NOTE: This article was first published in 
  Australias Mandurah Telegraph newspaper on Tuesday, October 15, 2002. 
  They can be reached via e-mail at: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dear 
  Sir/Madam, What we are witnessing now on the world scene are the 
  last final death throes of the Global Elite, Controllers, Illuminati 
  or call them what you will. For many years these evil people (a 
  handful of wealthy-beyond-belief families based mainly in Europe) have 
  manipulated mankind for their own ends through their control of the 
  banking system, military, oil and media interests, and have placed puppet 
  politicians in power (dont kid yourself that we have a choice, for both 
  sides are party to this status quo) to further their nefarious ends. Bush, 
  Blair, and Howard are all exactly that  puppets of the Elite carrying out 
  the wishes of their Controllers behind the scenes. Another war, more 
  indebtedness by taxpayers to the Elite bankers to fund more military 
  hardware (Bush has said the war with Iraq will cost $200 billion), and 
  more control over humanity with further loss of individual freedoms. A 
  U.S. victory in Iraq will mean access to $6 trillion worth of oil in the 
  Caspian Basin for the Illuminati-controlled oil companies. Bush couldnt 
  care less about Saddam or the Iraqi people. Weapons of mass destruction 
  (that dont exist) are just an excuse to start a war for control of this 
  oil. However this is the final showdown, the titanic struggle to 
  impose a New World Order, but this time humanity must, and will, win. The 
  truth of this will be revealed to us all very soon. Fortunately there are 
  a lot of altruistic individuals working at all levels in many countries to 
  bring down these Controllers, not least in the upper hierarchy of the 
  American Military, a few honest Congressmen, and others in the Judiciary 
  and Executive who know whats really going on. What is slowing down this 
  disclosure of the truth is the Elite control of the media that refuses to 
  reveal the cover-up of what is really happening. In the U.S. only five 
  companies run all radio, TV and print media! Keeping us all in the dark is 
  easy. But, rest assured, this mind-boggling truth WILL be revealed 
  in the not too distant future to the enormous benefit of mankind around 
  the world. We have been manipulated for far too long and now it will be 
  humanitys turn to enjoy freedom from the worldwide oppression that these 
  evil Controllers impose. The individual is not handicapped by 
  coming face to face with a conspiracy so monstrous he cannot believe it 
  exists. J. Edgar Hoover, FBI Director 1924-1972. But exist it 
  does, though not for much longer.

[CTRL] Philadelphia experiment

2002-11-11 Thread Mermaid
-Caveat Lector-





  
  

The Philadelphia 
  Experiment by Joe Turner 
  
  

  


  One of the A  E Channel's investigative TV programs 
  has now found the tables turned on it in the most ironic fashion. "The 
  Unexplained," a Sightings/Unsolved Mysteries knock-off that deals with the 
  paranormal and mysterious, has been the focus of an investigation led by 
  one of its past experts. The findings of this investigation, conducted by 
  a real life "Fox Mulder," firmly place "The Unexplained" episode, "Strange 
  Disappearances" in the same context as the Hitler Diaries and CNN's recent 
  news debacle on nerve gassing Viet Nam deserters. Like the CNN 
  Viet Nam story, the episode dealt with a military operation - a test in 
  WWII that would have been the latest development in a long history of 
  military camouflage. Total optical and radar invisibility - the 
  Philadelphia Experiment. "...men caught fire, went mad, and - the most 
  bizarre of all, some were embedded halfway into the deck of the ship. 
  Others phased in and out of this reality..." Much has been written 
  and speculated about this legend of an experiment in "electronic 
  camouflage," both pro and con. Reportedly it ended with the ship 
  teleporting from Philadelphia to Norfolk with some crew members becoming 
  embedded in the ship. Sorting the facts from the fiction has proven an 
  almost impossible task, particularly with the recent flux of 
  misinformation and deliberate disinformation that has been injected into 
  the Internet by those connected to the U.S. intelligence community, 
  professional skeptics, and armchair researchers. Against this 
  confusing tapestry there have been a few constants. One is that Carlos 
  Miguel Allende claimed in the 1950s to have been a witness to a test at 
  sea of a ship being made optically invisible using strong electromagnetic 
  force fields when he was a sailor onboard the merchant marine vessel SS 
  Furuseth in 1943. He also claimed that during another test that went 
  wrong, some of the men caught fire, went mad, and - the most bizarre of 
  all, some were embedded halfway into the deck of the ship. Others phased 
  in and out of this reality, only kept here by the laying on of hands. 
  Allende wrote a series of strange letters in 1955 to Morris K. Jessup, a 
  researcher who had written the book "The Case for the UFO." It was 
  Allende's fear that the same technology that was responsible for the 
  disasters of the Philadelphia Experiment was the secret behind the 
  propulsion method used successfully by UFOs. Jessup had called for 
  research into such force fields of UFOs without having any knowledge of 
  the navy experiment, and this alarmed Allende. The Eldridge was 
  the ship used in the controversial experiment in 1943. Allende's letters 
  were filled with cryptic references and mailed from an assortment of 
  locales around America. They can be read on-line at 
  www.wincom.net/~softarts/PHILEXP/CM_ALLEN.TXT. Jessup eventually dismissed 
  Allende as a crank until 1957 when he was contacted by Capt. Sidney Sherby 
  and Comdr. George Hoover, two officers from the Office of Naval Research. 
  They had received a copy of Jessup's book with strange annotations in the 
  margins about a vanishing ship, aliens and other anomalies. The officers 
  from ONR asked Jessup to travel to Washington D.C. to meet with them and 
  discuss what the annotations might mean. When Jessup got there he was 
  surprised to see that the annotations appeared to be from Allende, 
  although they had been written in three different colored inks as though 
  three separate individuals had been writing comments. Jessup had 
  no idea what to make of it and was a little unsettled by the interest that 
  these ONR officers had in the writing, especially about the ship that was 
  made invisible and it's crew severely injured. The officers even paid Varo 
  Inc. to reprint copies of the annotated version of Jessup's book and had 
  them passed around ONR for consideration. Jessup confided in his friend 
  Ivan Sanderson that he felt the officers might want to try the experiment 
  again. Meanwhile Jessup's life began to be plagued by what he called 
  "strange coincidences." He began to complain about his health, and his 
  research efforts took a turn for the worse. In 1959 he was found dead in 
  his car from carbon monoxide poisoning and declared a suicide without the 
  benefit of an autopsy. Many believe to this day that he was actually 
  murdered, with Allende left roaming the country to escape the same fate.

Report From Iron Mountain 
  by Anonymous 
  
  

  


  In 1967 the war in Vietnam was escalating and race riots 
  were breaking out in many major U.S. cities. Popular distrust of the 
  federal government was growing. It was in this context that on October 16 
  a book appeared titled Report from Iron Mountain on the Possibility and 
  Desirability of Peace. It was published by Dial Press, a division of 
  Simon  Schuster. Leonard C. Lewin, a New York freelance writer, wrote 
  the introduction to the book. He explained that the report had been 
  compiled by 15 experts known as the Special Study Group (SSG) who had been 
  brought together by the U.S. government. The SSG had first met in 1963 at 
  a secret "underground nuclear hideout" called Iron Mountain. They had then 
  held periodic meetings during the next two and a half years to discuss the 
  problems that would confront the United States if it entered into a period 
  of permanent peace. According to Lewin, one of the experts ("John Doe") 
  who was identified as a professor of social science at a 'large Middle 
  Western University,' had decided to release the report to the public. 
  The report, in language full of think-tank jargon, documented the 
  conclusions of the Special Study Group concerning whether peace was 
  possible given the economic condition of the world. The SSG decided that 
  peace "would almost certainly not be in the best interest of stable 
  society." War, they argued, was simply too important a part of the world 
  economy, and therefore it was necessary to continue a state of war 
  indefinitely: "War has provided both ancient and modern societies 
  with a dependable system for stabilizing and controlling national 
  economies. No alternate method of control has yet been tested in a complex 
  modern economy that has shown itself remotely comparable in scope or 
  effectiveness." The report also pointed out that the authority of 
  the government over the people stemmed from its ability to wage war. 
  Therefore, without war the government might cease to exist: "War 
  is virtually synonymous with nationhood. The elimination of war implies 
  the inevitable elimination of national sovereignty and the traditional 
  nation-state." The report included a number of recommendations 
  that the government should follow just in case peace did break out. For 
  instance, it suggested that a number of expensive institutions be created 
  that would mimic the economic function of a war, such as: "(a) A 
  comprehensive social-welfare program directed toward maximum improvement 
  of general conditions of human life. (b) A giant open-end space research 
  program aimed at unreachable targets. (c) A permanent, ritualized, 
  ultra-elaborate disarmament inspection system, and variant of such a 
  system." The report also recommended that the government invent 
  "alternate enemies." For instance, it could mobilize the population by 
  scaring them with reports of extraterrestrial threats, massive global 
  environmental pollution, or "an omnipresent, virtually omnipotent 
  international police force." Alternatively, the population could be roused 
  by "socially oriented blood games" done "in the manner of the Spanish 
  Inquisition and the witch trials of other periods." The publication of the 
  report caused a sensation. So many copies of it were sold that it made its 
  way onto the New York Times bestseller list, and it was eventually 
  translated into 15 languages. The report caused panic among many 
  government officials. President Johnson supposedly "hit the roof" when he 
  learned of it. Cables were sent to U.S. embassies throughout the world 
  instructing them to play down public discussion of the report, and to 
  emphasize that the report had nothing at all to do with official U.S. 
  policy. The media, meanwhile, frantically searched for and 
  speculated about who had written the report. On November 20 Eliot 
  Fremont-Smith wrote a review for the New York Times in which he declared 
  that the report was a hoax. He speculated that it had been written either 
  by John Kenneth Galbraith, Kenneth Boulding, or Leonard C. Lewin. However, 
  he had no evidence to prove his speculations. The suspicion that Galbraith 
  was the author stemmed from the fact that he had written a review of the 
  report under the pseudonym "Herschel McLandress". This review had appeared 
  in the Washington Post and the Chicago Tribune. Lewin was suspected 
  because besides having written the introduction to the report, he had also 
  authored a book of political satire. The mystery of who had 
  written the report was

Was Robert Kennedy's 
  Assassin Brainwashed? by 
  Gordon Thomas 
  

  


  NOTE: Seeds of Fire: China and The Story 
  Behind the Attack on America is available from Dandelion Books  
  www.dandelion.com California Supreme Court is considering 
  ordering a new trial into one of the most sensational crimes in America  
  the assassination of Senator Robert Kennedy, brother of the murdered 
  President, John F. Kennedy. The Court has been given explosive new 
  testimony that Robert Kennedys assassin, Palestinian-born Sirhan Sirhan, 
  was programmed through hypnosis and brainwashed to carry out the crime. 
  A new trial will seriously embarrass both the CIA and FBI  under 
  increasing fire for the cover-up of their failure in last Septembers 
  terror attacks. The most likely date for the trial would fall during 
  President Bushs run-up to re-election. His own father was a 
  Congressman during the murder of Robert Kennedy and later became CIA 
  director. Its files on the assassination have never been made public. 
  Sirhans attorney, Lawrence Teeter, a respected Civil Rights lawyer, has 
  spent eight years gathering evidence which he described last week, 
  virtually proves that powerful branches of the U.S. government were 
  behind the murder. In an exclusive interview at his office on 
  fashionable Wilshire Boulevard in Los Angeles, Teeter said: When a 
  powerful branch of government commits such a murder it only makes sense if 
  top people are involved. In the case of the programming of Sirhan, those 
  involved, either directly or indirectly, are the Los Angeles police 
  department, the FBI, and the CIA together with the Pentagon. 
  There were good reasons for them to have wanted Robert Kennedy 
  eliminated. He wanted to end the Vietnam War. He wanted to get to the 
  bottom of his brothers assassination. He wanted to break the power of the 
  Teamsters Union. He wanted to end the wild adventurism of the CIA, said 
  Teeter. That adventurism included the notorious MK-ULTRA program 
   designed by the CIA to see if it was feasible to use drugs and hypnosis 
  to create a programmed assassin. Among the doctors secretly 
  involved in the work was Dr. Louis West, chairman of the Department of 
  Psychiatry at the University of California in Los Angeles and director of 
  its Neuropsychiatric Institute. Wests work for the CIA included 
  using hypnosis to try and program minds. But his case files were shredded 
  in the wake of Robert Kennedys murder on June 5, 1968. Kennedy was in Los 
  Angeles to gather votes for his nomination as the Democratic candidate for 
  President when he was killed. West died earlier this year before 
  Teeter could question him. That is very convenient for those who 
  are trying to block the truth emerging, Teeter said. While some 
  50,000 documents relating to the murder of Robert Kennedy are now stored 
  in an archive at the University of Massachusetts, they do not contain 
  still-closed FBI files. A number of documents were also destroyed after 
  the investigation by the Los Angeles police. Lawrence Teeter 
  revealed that when Sirhan was a jockey in 1966, he received a head injury 
  while riding. It happened two years before he assassinated Robert Kennedy. 
  As a result he may have become one of the most deeply 
  hypnotizable people in the world. It will be part of our case at a new 
  trial that the CIA discovered this when Sirhan was in hospital. We will 
  show that from that point on, he went into the CIA assassination program. 
  Part of that program was to ensure that Sirhan would have no recall of how 
  he had been programmed and by whom. Support for this theory has 
  come from a key medical expert Teeter intends to call. He is Dr Herbert 
  Spiegal, a New York psychiatrist who teaches at Columbia University. He is 
  regarded as one of Americas leading experts on hypnosis. In an 
  affidavit to the Supreme Court, Dr Spiegal writes: Sirhan, being an 
  outstanding hypnotic subject, was probably programmed through hypnosis to 
  shoot Senator Kennedy and to experience a genuine amnesia of the 
  shooting. In other documents, Teeter describes what he calls an 
  assassination network. He said last week: Sirhan said at the trial he 
  thought he acted alone. But what Sirhan thought is not important at all 
  when an assassin network was in place. When I visit Sirhan in prison, he 
  cannot remember the assassination at all. It is as if a segment of his 
  memory was entirely erased. The last thing he remembers before the 
  shooting is having coffee with a woman. That woman  known as 
  The Lady in the Polka Dot Dress at Sirhans

Before they tried to murder Diana they 
had a crack at Camilla which of course was MI5 and that went belly up and 
charles knew who it was so he stepped up her security.The only opther option was 
to get rid of Diana, especially when it looked as if she was going to marry a

Blood found in imported

  OTTAWA - People across the country are being warned not to 
  eat some lollipops imported from Argentina because they might contain 
  blood. 
  
  


   (Photo courtesy CFIA Web 
site)
  The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) received a complaint about 
  reddish-brown spots in Lipo Brand lollipops. 
  Tests on two partially eaten lollipops showed they had blood in them. 
  Where the blood came from hasn't been discovered yet and Health Canada 
  is looking at what the potential health risks are. 
  A release from the CFIA says the health risks of eating the candy are 
  probably low, but suggests the cautious thing to do would be to avoid the 
  lollipops. 
  The ball-shaped candies are sold across the country and come in bags of 
  50 or 140 labelled either Lipo or Wamis.

  Butler's tales hurt Princes
  
  His saddest day ... Wills at Di funeral
  By CHARLES RAE Royal Correspondent 
  PRINCE William and his younger brother Harry are devastated that former 
  butler Paul Burrell has revealed Dianas sex secrets.
  A close family friend said yesterday: This is absolutely dreadful for 
  the boys. They cannot understand why their mothers reputation is being 
  dragged through the mud like this.
  Both William, 20, and Harry, 18, are shattered that Burrell described 
  intimate moments in Princess Dianas private life in his 39-page statement 
  to police. 
  They were shocked to hear his stories about taking their mothers male 
  lovers in and out of Kensington Palace in the boot of his car.
  And they cannot forgive him for revealing that Diana went to meet heart 
  surgeon Hasnat Khan on her birthday  naked except for sapphire and 
  diamond earrings underneath her fur coat.
  The family friend said: Burrell was the most trusted of the Princesss 
  staff and now they feel that he has betrayed her.
  And whatever the friendly terms they thought of him in before they are 
  bitterly disappointed in him now.
  It is unpleasant for them to hear of a trail of lovers being sneaked 
  in and out and about the Princess going out wearing a fur coat and little 
  else.
  No one would like to read about their mother in that sort of 
  light.
  She is dead and she is not here to defend herself and more importantly 
  she is not here to explain to her boys.
  It is a very one-sided story, very unfair and very hurtful to them 
  both. The only real losers in this are going to be the boys and their 
  mothers memory. No one can understand the amount of detail Burrell has 
  gone into. One presumes it was to show how close he was to the 
  Princess.
  A woman betrayed ...Paul Burrell said he was her 
  rock, but he spilled the most sensitive secrets of Diana's 
  life
  But he seems to have gone into far more detail than necessary to 
  show the sort of relationship he had with her.
  Last night a former employee of the Princess said: Paul Burrell has 
  betrayed everyone. The Rock has finally broken up into tiny pieces.
  But the real losers are the boys. They will be the ones most deeply 
  affected by what Paul Burrell has said in his statement.
  This is a man who has professed all along that he would take the royal 
  secrets to the grave. Yet in his statement he goes into needless graphic 
  detail about the Princesss private life.
  For someone who has been reticent to speak about his life in royal 
  service, he seems to have gone into great and unnecessary detail.
  
  Surgeon's shock atlove affair 
  bombshell
  
  Devastated ... Dr Khan
  By PETRINA VOUSDEN
  PRINCESS Dianas former lover Dr Hasnat Khan was said to be devastated 
  last night at the explosive revelations of their affair.
  Dr Khan, 42, refused to comment at the London Chest Hospital, where he 
  is a heart surgeon.
  But a hospital spokesman revealed: I think he would be very upset to 
  see his name connected with this.
  The amazing details of their relationship came out in Paul Burrells 
  statement to police.
  Burrell revealed how he smuggled Dr Khan into Kensington Palace in the 
  boot of his car for secret meetings with Diana.
  He said she was so in love with the doctor that she wanted to marry 
  him.
  Burrell said he was trusted to deliver private letters from Diana to Dr 
  Khan at Brompton Hospital, in West London  where he used to work.
  He also revealed that as a special treat, Diana turned up to meet the 
  surgeon in only a fur coat and diamond earrings.
  Royal writer JUDY WADE has revealed that Diana 
  developed an interest in everything Asian as her romance with Dr Khan 
  blossomed.
  She began burning pungent incense in her palace apartment  and watched 
  any Pakistani films she could find on video.
  One evening her hairstylist Natalie Symonds arrived to find Diana all 
  alone upstairs in her bedroom watching a video of a black and white 
  Pakistani film. 
  Diana sighed: Arent they a good-looking race of people?
  The besotted Princess also began wearing Eastern dress, especially the 
  salwar kameez, a long shirt worn in Pakistan over billowing trousers.
  Despite the clash of cultures in their backgrounds, the Princess said: 
  Hes insecure and Im insecure, so we have a lot in common.

  By PAUL THOMPSONA 
  FORMER royal cop has revealed he attended Princess Dianas burial  
  contradicting Paul Burrells claim that he was the only member of Dianas 
  staff there.Colin Tebbutt, 64, has broken five years of silence 
  after Burrell repeatedly insisted he was the only person outside the 
  immediate family to be invited to the service.Colin told how he 
  clutched the hand of Dianas mother Frances Shand Kydd as the coffin was 
  lowered into an island grave at Althorp.He said: It was a deeply 
  moving and very emotional service and something I will always 
  remember.I want people to know I was invited to the burial by 
  Lady Sarah McCorquodale, Dianas sister, as a way of thanks for the work I 
  did in Paris after the Princesss death.It is wrong for Paul 
  Burrell to say he was the only person outside the Royal family at the 
  burial at Althorp.I was there but have never talked about it. For 
  years my own daughter Lisa did not believe I had been invited to the 
  burial.Unlike Burrell, Colin has not asked for any money to 
  describe his part in the deeply moving ceremony on September 
  1997.The only other people present at the graveside were Prince 
  Charles, Prince William, Prince Harry and the Spencer family.The 
  quietly spoken former cop revealed how his tireless work in Paris, in the 
  frantic hours after Dianas death, prompted a surprise call from Lady 
  Sarah.Colin said: Because of what happened in Paris, Lady Sarah 
  telephoned me and asked if I would like to attend the burial at 
  Althorp.I was at the funeral with my parner Liz and sat with the 
  other staff opposite the Prime Minister Tony Blair.Afterwards I 
  boarded the Royal Train at Euston for the trip to Althorp. We were met at 
  the local station and taken by car to Althorp House, and for the journey I 
  sat alongside Prince William.Out of respect for William, 20, and 
  Harry, 18, he refuses to divulge any of their conversation during the 
  sombre trip to Althorp.At Althorp House, Dianas family home, 
  Colin joined the Spencers and the royals for lunch.He said: 
  Considering what had just gone on it was very composed. Everyone at the 
  table behaved in a very dignified manner and were pleasant to each other. 
  
  
  


  

  Grief ... Earl Spencer walks 
on Althorp island days after Diana's 
  burialThe mood was quite upbeat, 
  but I think this was partly because of the boys. Of course it was a sombre 
  occasion but those around the table were not morose. There was no 
  hostility and everyone was talking to each other.After lunch the 
  group, which included Dianas sisters Lady Sarah and Lady Jane Fellowes 
  and their husbands, made their way silently to the small oval island at 
  the centre of a lake where a burial plot had been prepared.The

EXCLUSIVE: Bill O'Reilly 
  To Run For Office in 2004? by Victor Thorn 
  

  


  NOTE: This article was originally published in 
  Babel Magazine (http://www.babelmagazine.com) Does Bill 
  OReilly, outspoken commentator on the Fox News Channels OReilly 
  Factor intend to run for public office in 2004? According to syndicated 
  radio talk show host Mike Gallagher, the answer is yes. When asked 
  if he was concerned about OReilly having the biggest roll-out in radio 
  history, Gallagher stated in an e-mail, The word on OReilly is that hes 
  doing this [radio] for 2 years and hes out. Then he runs for office. 
  In this same e-mail, Gallagher also took a swipe at the venerable 
  king of talk radio, Rush Limbaugh, by declaring, OReilly is hoping to 
  get about one-fourth of the audience of that bush-leaguer Rush. 
  To view a scanned copy of Mike Gallaghers original e-mail to 
  Victor Thorn at Babel Magazine, click onto: 
  http://www.victorthorn.com/babel/issue81/81gallagheremail.jpg 
  With the above information in mind, the five biggest questions at 
  this point are: 1) What specific office does Bill OReilly have 
  his eye on  Governor, Congress, or the 
  Presidency? 2) When will OReilly officially declare his candidacy and 
  throw his hat into the ring? 3) Will he run as 
  a Republican, Independent, or attempt to create an entirely new 
  party? 4) Will OReilly continue to do his TV 
  show, or will he resign from Fox News and devote 
  himself full-time to his campaign? 5) Finally, what inside sources was 
  Mike Gallagher referring to when he revealed this 
  information? Hopefully some answers will be forthcoming from 
  OReilly, Gallagher, Fox News and the Salem Radio Network. Well keep you 
  updated. *** Victor Thorn can be reached at:

Bali Bonus for Oz 
  Government by Hero Cee 
  
  

  


  The Prime Minister of Australia, John Howard, owes his 
  position to acts of barbaric terrorism. In July 2001, all opinion polls 
  had him and his Liberal Party trailing way behind Kim Beasley, then leader 
  of the opposition Labour Party. And with an election scheduled for the 
  following November, the Liberal Party were preparing themselves for 
  failure. Australia was suffering badly from the economic debacle of the 
  Goods and Services Tax introduced by the Liberals in 2000. After one year 
  of GST, over 60 percent of small business had gone bankrupt. Consumers 
  struggled to deal with massive increases in the cost of groceries. The 
  government had inflicted a crippling blow to the economy and was destined 
  to pay the price at the polls. By July 2001, it was a foregone conclusion 
  that the Labour Party would win the November federal election, bringing in 
  a new Prime Minister, Kim Beasley. Even conservative newspapers considered 
  this to be a fait accompli, speculating only on the size of the predicted 
  Labour win. Then, hey, presto, John Howard had the most amazing stroke of 
  luck. On September 9, 2001, John Howard was in Washington D.C. as 
  part of a state visit to his pal, President Bush, Jr. Caught up in the 
  mayhem of that dreadful day, the Australian entourage watched first hand 
  the destruction of the Pentagon building. Arriving home to a heros 
  welcome, John Howards popularity soared. In the following weeks, he 
  shrewdly hitched onto the coattails of President Bush Jr.s War on Terror 
  and never looked back. Along with some clever chicanery involving (now 
  proven to be) false allegations of illegal immigrants tossing their 
  children into the sea, John Howard led the Liberal Party to a resounding 
  victory in the November 2001 elections. However, the honeymoon was 
  short lived. Video footage soon established that the aforementioned 
  immigrants tossed their children into the sea because their boat was 
  sinking. Australians by now were openly questioning John Howards 
  unequivocal support of America, particularly at the same time that the 
  U.S. was imposing massive trade sanctions against our steel and wheat 
  industry. Australians are extremely pissed off that the United States has 
  crippled our steel industry, yet at the same time demands that we join 
  them in the War on Terror. Americans dont seem to understand this. The 
  distinct feeling in Oz is that America assumes as its right, that we 
  should bow down to them while they ride roughshod over our industry. 
  By October 2002, John Howard was facing increasing opposition to 
  his vehement support for President Bush, Jr. Most Australians did not want 
  to be a part of a war in Iraq. We did not see the connection between this 
  and the events of September 9, 2001. We had noted with dismay the 
  continuous way in which the United States shifts the goal posts. First it 
  was Osama bin Laden. Now the threat was from Iraq, with North Korea and 
  Syria lurking in the wings. Even Saudi Arabia has been mentioned as a no 
  longer friendly state. Get Real! Despite all the media hype, Australians 
  just werent buying this one. Something was needed to turn around 
  this attitude; to bring Oz into line with the United States. The events of 
  October 12, 02, in Bali did just that. The media frenzy has numbed Oz 
  into submission. Americans went through the same thing after 9/11. A 
  continuous barrage of the most horrible images and stories has worn down 
  our critical perception. And John Howard wins again. In the wake of the 
  Bali bombings, his popularity has skyrocketed to an unprecedented 62%. 
  Clearly THEY have done their homework well. Hot on the heels of 
  Bali, we witnessed the gunning down of Dr Margaret Tobin, head of the 
  South Australian department of mental health. Days later, a crazed lone 
  gunman shot dead two students at Melbournes Monash University. 
  Immediately, John Howard announced plans to make it illegal to own 
  semi-automatic handguns in Australia. The outcry has been enormous from 
  across the board. Police, politicians, farmers, sporting shooters and 
  general concerned citizens are vehemently opposed. Yet, John Howard is 
  plowing on. But it doesnt stop there. Hes on a roll. His game plan is to 
  steamroll in so many changes at once that we cant possibly fight them 
  all. Heres where it gets frightening. The government now wishes 
  to rush through new anti-terrorism laws which would give them wide ranging 
  emergency powers over us citizens. These laws are almost identical to

The Jesuits 
  by Mike Bellinger 
  
  

  


  The reason why I keep hammering the Jesuit issue is 
  because they are, for sure, the core of the problem. It isn't just the 
  opinion of Phelps or Saussy. There are so many books exposing the Jesuits 
  that itll make your head spin. These just happen to be the latest and 
  most up-to-date. Malachi Martin has one too. In The Trance Formation of 
  America by Cathy O'Brien and Mark Phillips, the Jesuits and the Vatican 
  and NASA came up constantly throughout her book as the perpetrators. This 
  book was published long before Phelp's or Saussy's. Kerry 
  Thornley's book, A Confession of Conspiracy to Assassinate JFK, which 
  was compiled in 1990 and Internet-published by Sondra London just before 
  his death (1996 I think). It also has continuous references to the 
  Vatican, the Jesuits, and NASA as the overseers of mind control and JFK's 
  assassination. Thornley was a friend of Oswald in the Marines. He was 
  discharged and moved to New Orleans several years later where he got mixed 
  up with a group of psycho's who constantly talked about killing JFK and 
  controlling the public. Thornley was subpoenaed by Jim Garrison as a 
  conspirator, but refused to show up. Over the years he pierced the crowd 
  he was with in New Orleans and realized they were the men who killed JFK. 
  Their leader was a sinister character who was nicknamed "brother-in-law". 
  Thornley says he was a dead ringer for E. Howard Hunt when he saw his 
  pictures after the JFK killing. His book is absolutely fascinating. You 
  can download it, and its a true inside look at these maniacs. 
  Sherman Skolnick has a bunch of articles about the Vatican, the 
  Jesuits and the Pope's corrupt schemes and banks on his site. In most of 
  Jim Keith's books they appear again and again just like the other books 
  above: NASA, Jesuits, and Vatican as being connected to all the New World 
  Order and mind control activity. These people never knew about Phelps or 
  Saussy, but they had found the evidence anyway. It just took someone to 
  connect the dots, and now we can see the picture.

War Hysteria and Ezra 
  Pound by Kenneth J. 
  Schmidt 
  

  


  I had the good fortune this weekend to read Michael 
  Reck's excellent 1973 biography of the great poet Ezra Pound. In this age 
  of terrorism and war hysteria, the subject of the "Cantos" sublime creator 
  is timelier than ever. At the beginning of the U.S. entry into the 
  World War II, Pound found himself living in Rapallo, Italy. Pound was not 
  only America's most renowned poet, but an enemy of Jewish supremacism, 
  international bankers and the Roosevelt Administration. Pound attempted to 
  climb aboard with the last trainload of Americans headed for the frontier, 
  but was angrily thrown off the train by State Department officials who 
  despised his sympathies for the Duce. During the war, Italian 
  radio gave him the opportunity to host a regular radio program in which he 
  commented on various important issues of the day while avoiding saying 
  anything strictly treasonous. Pound criticized "old rubberlegs" in the 
  White House and deplored the senseless Anglo-American aggression that 
  exploded into world war. At war's end Pound found himself under arrest for 
  treason. Loathe tohang the most influential literary figure of that time, 
  a federal court declared the slightly eccentric poet insane and committed 
  him to St. Elizabeth's Lunatic Asylum in Washington DC. Poor Ezra 
  languished in the booby hatch for twelve years until an international 
  campaign led by mostly Leftist literati secured his release. In 
  this new era of Jew-induced war hysteria, we must remember that it is the 
  truly "best and brightest" that get locked away while the folks that are 
  really out of their minds - the Israel-first millenialist Evangelicals and 
  the Likud Bloc Neo-Cons - freely preach madness and destruction. This time 
  around, though, the NWO has bit off more than it can chew. Bush and 
  Company want to destroy Islamic Civilization in its entirety. They will 
  certainly fail in this task. It is up to us to be ready to pounce when our 
  time comes. We must, however, have the courage to speak out and act. It 
  was Pound himself who wrote: "If a man isn't willing to take some risks 
  for his opinions, either his opinions are no good or he's no good."

Phases of Uncertainty 
  by Victor Thorn 
  
  

  


  All of us at one time or another wonder whether what 
  were doing in life has any meaning or purpose. We make certain decisions 
  and follow a distinct path, but somewhere along the line we question what 
  it all means. And more often than not, if the results arent evident or 
  earth-shatteringly positive, we get discouraged and doubt whether anything 
  is worthwhile or not. It is during these phases of uncertainty 
  that we all need to step back for a moment and look at the big picture. 
  Once this period of reflection takes place, one of the first things we 
  should remember is that existence is more all-encompassing than what were 
  led to believe. Rather than being a one-shot linear deal where were born, 
  grow old and die, life continues on through a succession of rebirths 
  (incarnations), constituting a process where we can either grow through 
  positive karmic energy, or digress due to our negative thoughts and 
  actions. Naturally, all of us would like to better our lot in life 
  and reach the next level of existence, but we become hindered by a form of 
  myopia where we only see whats occurring in the here-and-now without 
  examining the larger frame of reference. Thus, we can seemingly be doing 
  something positive, but if the results arent immediate, we toss-up our 
  hands and dismiss our endeavors as futile. But thats where we make our 
  biggest mistake. Rather than seeing all the positive strides were making 
  in the entirety of existence, we limit ourselves solely to whats going on 
  NOW without allowing the entirety of possibility make an impact on us. 
  A perfect example would be a person that wanted to erect a 
  gigantic pyramid which would equal those in Egypt. But rather than having 
  huge multi-ton blocks of stone that the original builders used, he or she 
  was only given rocks the size of a thimble. So they begin this project, 
  and similar to Sisyphus pushing his boulder up a mountain, their progress 
  seems to be halting at best. But they continue on, placing 
  stone-upon-tiny-stone, then finally step back one day and, filled with 
  exasperation, exclaim, Im not getting anywhere! What does it matter? 
  This is useless! At this stage the individual is faced with a 
  dilemma. Do they throw everything away and simply surrender, or do they 
  continue trying to fulfill their purpose? This crossroads is indicative of 
  the ultimate direction in which the person in question is heading. Those 
  who determine their purpose and pursue it (i.e. those who keep building) 
  will evolve on the grand scale; while the rest will  well  accepting the 
  status quo is the equivalent of resigning yourself to a state of flux  of 
  limbo. Progress is static, not inert, and those who move forward get much 
  farther than those who run in place or tread water. An even better 
  illustration of someone fulfilling their purpose was Jesus crucifixion. 
  At many times during his ministry he could have said, Its inevitable 
  that Im going to die. But why? What good is it going to do? If Jesus had 
  simply focused on the MOMENT, he probably would have denied Gods Will and 
  not given his life as a ransom for ours. But his realm of knowledge and 
  field of vision was more expansive, and he realized that there was more to 
  the picture than this single instance in time. Thus, he realized his 
  purpose, fulfilled it, and in the process began a phenomenon that changed 
  the world more dramatically than any other. In the end, think how 
  different life would be on this planet if everyone truly believed that 
  their actions mattered in a substantial way. Rather than shrugging our 
  shoulders with resignation and feeling dejected, every positive deed would 
  beget another because everything counts  EVERYTHING  for what we do does 
  make a difference. Weve been conditioned for so long to accept defeatism 
  because thats the way its always been and no one can do anything about 
  it. But all it takes is a strong belief that every person can take their 
  thimble-full of meaningful activity and start building. Soon, a mighty 
  structure laying a positive foundation for society will result.

  From the October 2002 Idaho Observer: 
  
  
  If Wal-Mart comes to your town, kill it 
  
  
  By Jim Hightower 
  
  Bullying people from your town to China 
  
  
  Corporations rule. No other institution comes 
  close to matching the power that the 500 biggest corporations have amassed 
  over us. The clout of all 535 members of Congress is nothing compared to the 
  individual and collective power of these predatory behemoths that now roam the 
  globe, working their will over all competing interests. 
  
  The aloof and pampered executives who run today's 
  autocratic and secretive corporate states have effectively become our 
  sovereigns. From who gets health care to who pays taxes, from what's on the 
  news to what's in our food, they have usurped the people's democratic 
  authority and now make these broad social decisions in private, based solely 
  on the interests of their corporations. Their attitude was forged back in 
  1882, when the villainous old robber baron William Henry Vanderbilt spat out: 
  The public be damned! I'm working for my stockholders. 
  
  The media and politicians won't discuss this, for 
  obvious reasons, but we must if we're actually to be a self-governing people. 
  That's why the Lowdown is launching this occasional series of corporate 
  profiles. And why not start with the biggest and one of the worst actors? 
  
  
  The beast from Bentonville 
  
  Wal-Mart is now the world's biggest corporation, 
  having passed Exxon/Mobil for the top slot. It hauls off a stunning $220 
  billion a year from We the People (more in revenues than the entire GDP of 
  Israel and Ireland combined). 
  
  Wal-Mart cultivates an aw-shucks, 
  we're-just-folks-from-Arkansas image of neighborly small-town shopkeepers 
  trying to sell stuff cheaply to you and yours. Behind its soft homespun ads, 
  however, is what one union leader calls this devouring beast of a 
  corporation that ruthlessly stomps on workers, neighborhoods, competitors, and 
  suppliers. 
  
  Despite its claim that it slashes profits to the 
  bone in order to deliver Always Low Prices, Wal-Mart banks about $7 billion 
  a year in profits, ranking it among the most profitable entities on the 
  planet. 
  
  Of the 10 richest people in the world, five are 
  Waltons -- the ruling family of the Wal-Mart empire. S. Robson Walton is 
  ranked by London's Rich List 2001 as the wealthiest human on the planet, 
  having sacked up more than $65 billion (£45.3 billion) in personal wealth and 
  topping Bill Gates as No. 1. 
  
  Wal-Mart and the Waltons got to the top the 
  old-fashioned way -- by roughing people up. The corporate ethos emanating from 
  the Bentonville headquarters dictates two guiding principles for all managers: 
  extract the very last penny possible from human toil, and squeeze the last 
  dime from every supplier. 
  
  With more than one million employees (three times 
  more than General Motors), this far-flung retailer is the country's largest 
  private employer, and it intends to remake the image of the American workplace 
  in its image -- which is not pretty. 
  
  Yes, there is the happy-faced greeter who 
  welcomes shoppers into every store, and employees (or associates, as the 
  company grandiosely calls them) gather just before opening each morning for a 
  pep rally, where they are all required to join in the Wal-Mart cheer: Gimme a 
  W! shouts the cheerleader; W! the dutiful employees respond. Gimme an A! 
  And so on. 
  
  Behind this manufactured cheerfulness, however, 
  is the fact that the average employee makes only $15,000 a year for full-time 
  work. Most are denied even this poverty income, for they are held to part-time 
  work. While the company brags that 70 percent of its workers are full-time, at 
  Wal-Mart full time is 28 hours a week, meaning they gross less than $11,000 
  a year. 
  
  Health-care benefits? Only if you've been there 
  two years; then the plan hits you with such huge premiums that few can afford 
  it -- only 38% of Wal-Marters are covered. 
  
  Thinking union? Get outta here! Wal-Mart is 
  opposed to unionization, reads a company guidebook for supervisors. You, as 
  a manager

Israeli Soldiers Resisting 
the Occupation
Why We Refuse to Fight
by Rami Kaplan
Israel's 
occupation of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip can in no way be considered 
democratic. It oppresses 3.5 million people, denying them their basic human 
rights. My refusal to militarily participate in this occupation, on the other 
hand, is most certainly a democratic act.
It exercises my right to protest, as I strive to hold on 
to the values of justice and peace, and it sends a message to my government that 
it cannot use me as a tool for attaining every goal it decides upon. In doing so 
I am fulfilling my obligations as a moral citizen of the world. Every man and 
woman must decide where the boundaries of conscience lie, and my conscience does 
not permit me to fight today in the occupied territories.
The refusal of the 435 signatories to the "Courage to 
Refuse" letter, is a refusal to fight for continuation of the occupation, or, 
more precisely, for continuation of the settlements. It is a refusal to fight in 
a war of choice fueled by an extremist messianic ideology.
Make no mistake, Israel has no other reason for remaining 
in the occupied territories than to preserve the existing settlements, even when 
they are deep within Palestinian centers of population. Maybe the Palestinians 
are not interested in peace - one of the most commonly heard justifications for 
our recent invasions - and truly want to push us into the sea. Even then, we 
would be much better off defending ourselves from the 1967 borders rather than 
from inside the narrow alleys of Jenin, Ramallah and Bethlehem. This is why I 
think that the occupation runs against the most basic interests of the state of 
Israel, even to the extent of threatening its very existence.
As a concerned and involved citizen in a democratic 
regime, I see it as my right and duty to do all I can to save my country, the 
country I am willing to die for, from this dizzy descent into violence and 
mayhem.
This kind of struggle is not one to wage alone, and so 
when I heard that a group of reserve officers were organizing with the intention 
of publishing an open letter stating their categorical refusal to don their 
uniforms in the service of the occupation, I knew I had to join them.
For me, as for the others who have signed our letter, the 
decision was at once terribly difficult yet glaringly simple.
Difficult, because I am a Zionist. I served in the 
standing army for six years, and have since spent upward of 50 days a year in 
the reserves, and I have always equated love of the country with loyal service 
in the army. It was difficult to break rank, to look my fellow officers and 
soldiers in the eye and tell them that I would not join in their next campaign, 
in the war for the settlements, a war we chose, not one we had forced upon 
us.
Yet the decision was also easy. Both as a democrat and as 
a patriot, I had no other choice. It took me a long time to realize, to 
understand that not everything I learned during my long years as an officer was 
correct. The turning point was a tour of duty in the Gaza Strip a year ago. My 
soldiers committed no atrocities, but I could see the futility of our military 
presence there, and the daily injustices inherent in it.
Today I stand firm, confident that I am doing the right 
thing, hopeful that the group of soldiers currently demonstrating their 
tremendous courage to refuse, and spending long weeks in military prisons as a 
result, will help bring an end to the occupation.
The occupation is destroying Israel from within, it is 
destroying the Palestinians, and it is destroying those two nations' common 
future.

Doctor: 116 Moscow Theater Captives 
  Died From Knockout Gas
  

  

  
Sunday, October 27, 
  2002 
  MOSCOWMoscow's chief doctor 
  said that all but one of the 117 hostages killed in the 
  58-hour siege of a Moscow theater died from the knockout gas 
  Russian special forces used during the rescue.
  
  


  
  

  

  



  The 
  Interfax news agency quoted Andrei Seltsovsky as saying that 
  one person died from bullet wounds during Saturday's assault. 
  It was the first time that a Russian official identified the 
  cause of death of most of the victims. 
  About 650 of the 750 survivors remain 
  hospitalized Sunday, with 200 of them in critical 
  condition.
  An anesthesiologist, Yevgeny Yevdokimov, 
  said the deadly effects of the gas were exacerbated by the 
  weakened condition of the hostages, who had little food or 
  water while held captive, the Interfax news agency said.
  Fifty of the Chechen rebels who seized the 
  theater were killed during the Saturday rescue, several with 
  bullets to the head, apparently as they lay incapacitated from 
  the gas.
  The attackers, 18 of whom were women, had 
  burst into the theater during a performance, some of them with 
  explosives strapped to their bodies. They mined the theater 
  and threatened to blow it up unless Putin withdrew Russian 
  troops from the rebellious region of Chechnya.
  The Dutch Foreign Ministry said early 
  Sunday that a Dutch citizen, Natalja Zjirov, was among those 
  hostages who died. No other deaths among the 71 foreigners 
  among the hostages were known.
  Some hospitals posted complete or partial 
  lists Sunday afternoon of those being treated, but information 
  remained fragmented. A U.S. Embassy spokesman said its workers 
  were trying to find which hospital one of the two known 
  American hostages was in.
  Anxious hostage relatives waited for word 
  on their loved ones after the special forces raid on the 
  theater Saturday killed most of the hostage-takers. The freed 
  captives were taken to hospitals, most of them suffering from 
  the effects of the knockout gas that was pumped through the 
  building before it was stormed by Russian special forces.
  Irina Ramtsova waited outside the black 
  iron gates of City Clinical Hospital No. 13 with pictures of 
  her father, Fyodor, a trumpet player at the theater seized by 
  armed Chechen rebels Wednesday.
  "We keep calling and calling and there is 
  no information," she said.
  The family last heard from him when he 
  called on his cell phone during siege and said he was seated 
  next to one of the bombs the rebels had threatened to 
  detonate. Official hot lines have been no help, she said.
  In the afternoon, a few survivors began 
  leaving in a cold, light rain. A crowd of frantic relatives 
  and jostling journalists were part of the chaos. Sirens 
  blasted from passing emergency vehicles.
  The scene was more tranquil at another 
  hospital, directly across from the raided theater.
  Among those let out of that clinic, 
  Hospital No. 1 for War Veterans, was Georgy Vasilyev, the 
  producer of Nord-Ost, the musical that was in 
  progress when the theater was seized.
  He recalled

  LONDON (Reuters) - A London-based magazine said on 
Friday it was publishing a will written by Osama bin Laden, the 
world's most wanted man, in which he complains of betrayal by fellow 
militants in Afghanistan. 
The Arabic-language al-Majallah said the 
will, typed and signed by bin Laden and dated December 14, 2001, was 
obtained a week ago from a "very reliable" source in 
Afghanistan. 
It said the will, typically packed with 
versus from the Muslim holy book the Koran, depicted a man who 
appeared desperate and on the verge of death. 
"Reading it, you get the impression of a 
dying man. It may be that he was wounded and felt he was dying," 
Majallah Editor-in-Chief Hani Nakshabandi told Reuters of the will, 
which is due to be published on Saturday. 
 
The date on the will suggested it was 
written at the height of U.S. military strikes on Afghanistan in 
retaliation for the September 11 attacks, which ended in the ouster 
of bin Laden's Taliban protectors from Afghanistan. 
There was no independent confirmation of 
the authenticity of the document. 
Nakshabandi said while wills are normally 
revealed after the death of their author, it was impossible to 
verify if bin Laden had actually died. 
The Saudi-born militant, Washington's 
prime suspect as mastermind for September 11, disappeared after U.S. 
troops launched its war on Afghanistan in October 2001. U.S. troops 
combing the mountains where he was believed to be hiding have failed 
to find him. 
But some television stations and Web 
sites close to his al Qaeda network have published letters 
attributed to him or messages in his voice, although the dates of 
these messages was not verified. 
BETRAYAL 
In the will, bin Laden repeatedly 
complains of betrayal by fellow militants, including the Taliban who 
shielded him. 
"We saw the cowardly Crusaders 
(Christians) and the lowly Jews hold fast while fighting us, while 
soldiers of our nation raised the white flag and surrendered to 
their enemies," bin Laden wrote in the will, studded with versus 
from the Koran. 
"Even the students of religion (Taliban), 
only a handful of them were steadfast, while the rest fled before 
they met the enemy," it adds. 
Bin Laden also asks for forgiveness from 
his children, saying he had given them only a little of his time 
since he embarked on his path of jihad (holy war). 
"I have chosen a path filled with dangers 
and endured much hardships...treachery and betrayal," he wrote. "If 
it wasn't for betrayal, conditions would have been different and the 
outcome would have been a different one." 
Urging his children to remain faithful to 
God, he advises them "not to work for al Qaeda," without giving an 
explanation. 
But he said his advice was based on an 
example set by prominent early Muslim leader, Omar bin al-Khattab, 
who urged his son to shun the post after him. 
Bin Laden described the New York and 
Washington attacks as "part of escalating strikes directed toward 
America" starting with a 1983 attack on a U.S. marine barracks in 
Lebanon and the 1998 bombing of two U.S. embassies in Africa. 

The United States has blamed bin Laden 
for the twin attacks on its embassies in Kenya and Tanzania. But it 
has accused Lebanon's Shi'ite Hizbollah group for the suicide attack 
on its barracks in Beirut in which 241 servicemen were 
killed

  Israeli Families Say Peace is Revenge
  By Lakshmi Chaudhry, AlterNetOctober 17, 2002
  Editor's Note: In 1994, following the abduction and murder of his 
  19-year-old son Arik by the terrorist group Hamas, Yitzhak Frankenthal 
  founded the Bereaved Families Forum -- an organization of 190 bereaved 
  Israeli parents, Palestinian and Jews, who lost their children during army 
  service or in an act of terrorism. The organization, also referred to as 
  Parent's Circle, promotes peace and coexistence through educating for 
  tolerance and compromise. The group recently set up a free service to 
  encourage Israelis and Palestinians to talk on the telephone. 
  
  AlterNet: What motivated you to found the Bereaved Families Forum? 
  What do you hope to achieve through this organization and its efforts? 
  
  
  Frankenthal: After I lost my son, Arik, I came to understand that he 
  was not murdered because the murderers knew him. He was killed because 
  there is no peace between the Israelis and the Palestinians. This is why 
  we are ready to make reconciliation and not ready to go for revenge. And 
  if we can do it -- when we have lost members of our families -- 
  everyone can and needs to do it. 
  
  Many people respond to grief and loss by seeking vengeance. Why have 
  you chosen reconciliation instead? 
  
  I am also looking for revenge. Revenge for me is making peace. The 
  murderers killed my son because there is no peace. And I am angry. 
  I am very angry that we are in this terrible situation and people are not 
  ready to listen. People have a lot of hatred, a lot of fear. What they 
  need is to talk to each other. For example, recently we set up a telephone 
  program, where Israelis and Palestinians can call each other. Now, 22,851 
  people have talked one with the other because of this. That would be 
  600,000 people in the United States in terms of the percentage of the 
  population here. That is really unbelievable -- the need for Israelis and 
  Palestinians to talk to each other. 
  
  But how do you address that fear you mention? How do you respond to 
  people on both sides who are afraid -- and for very good reasons? 
  
  How many more people are we going to lose on both sides before we 
  realize this is not the right way? Palestinians recently lost 25-26 
  people. The Israeli army says it does not have any choice. The 
  Palestinians say they do not have any other choice but to kill. But the 
  real way to stop it [the killing] is to understand the motivation of those 
  who are doing the killing. 
  
  Is it harder to make this argument -- that the solution to terrorism 
  is to understand the root causes -- since the 9/11 attacks? 
  
  What is harder since 9/11 is that there is no differentiation between 
  two types of terrorism. What happened in 9/11 is a kind of ideological 
  terrorism. Bin Laden was against the free world, America, and capitalism. 
  What is going on in the Middle East is because the people are in despair. 
  I can't justify it, but I want to understand the roots of it. What 9/11 
  did was give a great fig leaf to Sharon -- let him say what you are going 
  through in the United States is the same as what we are facing here. It's 
  a complete bluff. This is about the Occupation. Finish the Occupation, you 
  will finish the killing. 
  
  How have other Israelis reacted to what you are doing? 
  
  Some welcome it, some are very angry. But no one does not care. But 
  many people understand what we are doing is because we care. We are 
  Israeli patriots. We have lost members of our family to terrorism. I am an 
  orthodox Jew. No one is doing this for the Palestinians. 
  
  Patriotism has become a very loaded word these days. You call 
  yourself an Israeli patriot. How do you define your patriotism? 
  
  This is my notion of patriotism. I have served in the army. My children 
  are serving in the army. You understand? I also believe we need to have a 
  strong IDF (Israeli Defense Forces) in order to maintain the peace. I do 
  not believe in European leaders or even U.S. leaders. It is we who have to 
  defend ourselves. But because I love my people, my community, it doesn't 
  mean I need to do terrible things to the Palestinian people. It is because 
  we are doing terrible things to the Palestinian people that we are in this 
  situation. 
  
  What about the Palestinians? How have they responded to your 
  organization? 
  
  With a lot of respect. They are ready to listen, ready to walk 
  together. The reaction to all our efforts has been

  What Does a Torturer Tell His Kids?
  By Richard Thieme, AlterNetOctober 23, 2002
  A newsletter for former intelligence officers contained two requests 
  this week from researchers. One is a Washington Post intelligence reporter 
  who wants information about "that particular moment in a clandestine 
  agent's life when he/she tells the children what they really do for a 
  living." 
  
  The other request came from a social psychologist "preparing a 
  utilitarian assessment of torture interrogation of terrorists to submit to 
  a military ethics conference." His study is focused on institutional 
  consequences of state-sponsored torture interrogations such as the 
  involvement of the biomedical community. He is especially interested in 
  "testaments to the efficacy of torture interrogation in eliciting accurate 
  and crucial information." 
  
  I hope those researchers get together. It would be interesting to know 
  about the moment in a torturer's life when he or she tells the kids what 
  they do for a living. 
  
  State-sponsored torture is being debated as a viable option, and 
  lawyers such as Alan Dershowitz suggest that torture warrants should be 
  issued by judges if evidence suggests that a situation is time-critical. 
  The process of securing warrants would provide a sufficient check, he 
  believes, on state and federal interrogators. 
  
  I imagine this debate sounds different to Arab-Americans or African 
  Americans than it does to an affluent lawyer who seldom hears suspects 
  with sterilized needles under their fingernails screaming through the 
  arbor vitae. On the other hand, it says something positive about the 
  assimilation of Jews in America that Dershowitz, who is Jewish, does not 
  even worry about how such warrants might be used if the American 
  experiment in assimilation fails. 
  
  I recall having dinner in Madrid with a Spaniard 35 years ago. "America 
  is a great country," he said, "but it is a very young country." 
  
  I felt the weight of his words, that two or three or four hundred years 
  down the line, when historical conditions will have turned American 
  history into the roller coaster that Spain's has been, we might see 
  ourselves differently. We might be a little less innocent, a little less 
  naïve. 
  
  The German Jewish population was the most assimilated Jewish community 
  in history before the Holocaust. Then Germany lost its moorings. Any 
  society can lose its moorings. It can happen here, and one sign that it 
  might be happening is when social scientists and medical practitioners 
  believe they are justified in discussing torture as a practical matter 
  rather than a moral issue. 
  
  I grew up in Chicago where police did not need a torture warrant to 
  interrogate suspects by whacking them with telephone books. That may have 
  distorted my perspective, but I think it's pretty much the same 
  everywhere. Chicago just does more openly what everybody does more 
  hiddenly. I live now in Milwaukee, arguably the most segregated city in 
  America, and it wasn't long ago that a policeman went on trial for beating 
  a white man almost to death and blurted out that he had recently been 
  transferred to a new district from an all-black neighborhood and had not 
  realized that the rules were different. 
  
  The policeman who told me that story mentioned a time he had to leave 
  an alley where colleagues were interrogating a suspect in a way that made 
  him sick to his stomach. 
  
  It is not news to say that beatings and torture have long been part of 
  the interrogation process, depending on who is the suspect and who is 
  doing the questioning. Nor is it news that at Fort Benning, Georgia, 
  American military officers taught agents of Central and South American 
  police states how to use torture effectively. We all know it happens. That 
  isn't the question. The question is, are we ashamed that it happens? You 
  can tell a lot by knowing what someone is ashamed of. 
  
  Feeling appropriate guilt and rationalizing behaviors by instituting 
  policies that justify and support them publicly are two different things. 
  That difference makes all the difference between a society that can't 
  always live up to its ideals and one that has forgotten where it put them. 
  
  
  It is not that we can't imagine circumstances in which we too would use

  Gunmen refuse to free Britons
  10.02AM BST, 24 Oct 2002
  The Chechen gunmen who are holding hundreds of people 
  hostage in a Moscow theatre have refused to free their foreign hostages as 
  they agreed to do earlier today.
  A Russian spokesman at the scene said the guerrillas went 
  back on their promise because Western diplomats summoned to the scene 
  arrived too late.
  "We had an arrangement that the foreigners would be 
  released after embassy representatives got involved. All the conditions 
  had been met," said Alexander Machevsky.
  "The representatives arrived at the operations centre but 
  unfortunately they didn't get there on time and the agreement was 
  broken."
  Three Britons, three Germans, one Austrian and one Dutch 
  citizen are believed to be among the more than 600 hostages.
  A British Embassy official said the three Britons inside 
  were able to make mobile phone calls shortly after the start of the 
  incident.
  "We have had consular officials outside the theatre since 
  yesterday evening, working with Russian authorities to secure the release 
  of British nationals," the official said.
  Earlier today, journalists near the theatre said they heard 
  a loud blast coming from the scene.
  The reporters are being kept back from the theatre, and the 
  origin of the blast was not clear.
  The gunmen are threatening to shoot the audience and blow 
  up the building if Russian security forces try to free the hostages.
  The Chechens stormed into the building last night in the 
  middle of a musical performance, in what police have called an audacious 
  and extremely well-planned attack.
  The attackers fired automatic weapons and demanded Russia 
  end the war in Chechnya.
  They want a ceasefire in Russia's three-year-old war with 
  Chechnya, and the withdrawal of Russian troops in the region.
  A pro-rebel website said the Russians had seven days to 
  begin the withdrawal or the theatre and hostages would be blown up.
  The gunmen are armed with automatic weapons, grenades, 
  explosives belts, mines and petrol canisters.
  There is little water and food available for the panicky 
  hostages.
  Dozens of Interior Ministry troops in full combat gear are 
  patrolling the area, and several armoured personnel carriers are parked 
  near the theatre.
  The dramatic event is a blow to Russian President Vladimir 
  Putin, who has repeatedly said that Russia has the situation in the mainly 
  Muslim region under control.
  Several hostages, speaking by mobile phone to Russian TV 
  stations and news agencies, pleaded with Russian authorities not to use 
  force to resolve the situation.
  Previous attempts by Russian authorities to resolve similar 
  large-scale hostage incidents involving Chechens ended in bloodshed.
  "There are women, children, foreigners in here," 
  cardiologist Maria Shkolnikova told REN TV. "We don't want the building to 
  be stormed."
  She said the hostage takers, who said their family members 
  had perished in the war and that they had nothing to lose, were very 
  determined.
  The hostage takers have already released more than 100 
  women and children, among them two pregnant women.September 27: Briton

 Sniper: 'Your Children Are Not Safe'

 ASPEN HILL, Md., Oct. 22, 2002

 (CBS) Police investigating the Washington-area sniper shootings said
 Tuesday afternoon they had received a message warning, Your children are
 not safe anywhere at any time.

 The chilling warning apparently was discovered by police Saturday night at
 the scene of a shooting outside a Virginia steakhouse. Police said it came
 in the form of a postscript.

 Montgomery County Police Chief Charles Moose also said police will be
 responding soon to the latest message and did not take any questions from
 the media.

 Early Tuesday, a bus driver was shot and killed in the latest attack that
 bore the hallmarks of the serial sniper who has slain nine other people
 this month.

 A widespread dragnet was launched immediately after the shooting, clogging
 traffic on Connecticut Ave., one of the main arteries into Washington,
 D.C. just as the morning commute began.

 Conrad Johnson, a 35-year-old father of two, was shot as he stood at the
 top of the steps of the bus shortly before 6 a.m., Montgomery County
 police said. Johnson was a 10-year county employee.

 We don't know if this is related but we're treating this as if it is,
 said Montgomery County Police Capt. Nancy Demme.

 The shooting happened near an apartment building and wooded area along
 Connecticut Avenue. The bus was parked at a staging area where drivers get
 ready for their morning runs, state police spokesman Cpl. Rob Moroney
 said. He didn't know if anyone else was on the bus.

 Within minutes, police closed many roads around the shooting scene and set
 up roadblocks at points along the Capital Beltway. Teams of officers and
 FBI agents with automatic rifles slung over their shoulders, were checking
 all cars driven by men on the main roads leading out of Montgomery County,
 reports CBS News Correspondent Dan Raviv. By late morning, the roadblocks
 were largely being lifted, police said.

 CBS News Correspondent Barry Bagnato reports police and federal agents
 were focusing not on an apartment complex across the street from the bus
 but on a small neighborhood park next to the bus stop, as police
 helicopters hovered over the scene.

 Bagnato reports that although there's no panic in the voices of the people
 who live across the street from the shooting, many resident speculate the
 serial killer is from the area.

 Dogs were being used to comb a wooded patch where presumably the shooter
 hid, aiming across a basketball court into the bus, where the driver was
 struck.

 The location is near the sites of the first six sniper attacks, all on
 Oct. 2 and 3. In all, 12 people have been shot in Maryland, Virginia and
 Washington, D.C.; three were critically wounded.

 We remain concerned about the safety of all the people in our region,
 Moose said Tuesday. We realize that the person or the people involved in
 this have shown a clear willingness and ability to kill people of all
 ages, all races, all genders, all professions, different times, different
 days and different locations.

 I was getting ready to leave for work this morning. I heard a loud bang,
 said Kim Roberts, a carpenter who lives nearby. It wasn't a pop like a
 handgun. If it was a gun, it was a high-powered weapon. He said he knew
 about the sound of weapons from his military service.

 CBS Radio Affiliate WTOP reports another eyewitness said he heard three
 shots, which is unusual since the sniper has been known for firing once.

 The most recent shooting blamed on the sniper critically wounded a
 37-year-old man Saturday night outside a steakhouse in Ashland, Virginia.

 On Monday, police said they received a call about the attack, hinting it
 was from the sniper, but that the call was muddled.

 The person you called could not hear everything you said. The audio was
 unclear and we want to get it right. Call us back so that we can clearly
 understand, said Montgomery County Police Chief Charles Moose, who has
 been leading the hunt.

 Moose did not disclose who received the muddled phone call, when it was
 made or other details. But investigators believe the call may have come
 from the sniper and that the caller was the person who left a note and
 phone number at the scene of Saturday night's shooting, a law enforcement
 source told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.

  Ulrika 'rape' man named 
By Hugh Dougherty, Tim Cooper and Jessica 
Hodgson, Evening Standard 
ITV presenter John Leslie was today 
dramatically named on live television as the man who allegedly raped 
Ulrika Jonsson. 
Leslie was in a studio preparing for his own show, This Morning, 
when the comment was made. His agent declined to comment on the 
claim. 
Ever since the publication of Jonsson's autobiography Honest, in 
which she alleges she was attacked by a television presenter, the 
world of entertainment has been awash with speculation that Leslie 
was the mystery man.

  Archer's 'high standards' Grief 
  of Tube man's brother Booker 
  Prize goes to foreign author 
  

  

  
In the book, 
Jonsson did not name her attacker and has repeatedly refused to 
identify him. 
But during the growing furore it is understood that Leslie, 
through friends, vigorously denied the allegations but did admit 
having a consensual sexual relationship with Jonsson. 
Leslie, 37, a former Blue Peter presenter, was named on Channel 5 
by Matthew Wright as he reviewed the papers on his morning show, The 
Wright Stuff. 
During a discussion on Jonsson's allegations in today's 
newspapers, broadcaster and journalist Vivienne Parry said of two 
other women who have made complaints against the same man: "They 
haven't gone to the police, they've gone to Max Clifford so ..." 
Wright responded: "Of the three women who have pointed the finger 
at John Leslie, one of them has a book out - £16.99 in all good 
bookshops - and the other two have gone to the highest-profile 
publicist around." 
Clifford appeared shortly afterwards on the programme to be 
interviewed on the Jonsson affair. 
He told the Standard that he had no idea Leslie's name had been 
mentioned as he appeared live. "They asked me to appear on the show 
to talk about my involvement - the conversations I have had and the 
advice I would give to both parties - and I agreed," he said. 
"Just before we went on air the producer asked me whether I would 
respond if Matthew asked me if John Leslie had spoken to me. "I said 
no - and he didn't. John Leslie's name was not mentioned while I was 
there." 
Clifford has said he spoke to the alleged rapist after being 
contacted for advice, as well as at least one other woman claiming 
she was sexually assaulted by him.

On Monday a

sex with Jonsson but strongly denied he had raped her.

  TOOTHPASTE WARNINGS! 
  AN 
  OPEN LETTER TO THE PRESIDENT OF COLGATE-PALMOLIVE 
  April 8, 2002
  Dear President:
  I 
  am writing to you as a consumer who still has a few teeth left in his 
  mouth, lots of "hard stuff" between the gums and teeth (my dentist just 
  told me), and bad breath on occasion (dont ask!). I am seriously 
  considering using your product, Colgate Toothpaste, but after looking at 
  the many boxes on the shelves of my local Duane Reade for nearly an hour, 
  and taking detailed notes, I am somewhat confused about which "version" of 
  Colgate to buy. I also have some questions Id like you to answer, based 
  on what I read on your boxes, so that I may decide whether to become a 
  loyal Colgate user or consider some sort of action against you and your 
  company on behalf of all brain-functioning consumers who use or have ever 
  used your successful product.
  
  Questions 
  1. My first question should be easy for you to answer, but 
  it is important to me since I am about to adopt a seven-year-old child 
  tomorrow. On all of your many types of boxes there is a TOOTHPASTE 
  WARNING. It says to keep Colgate out of reach of children six years of 
  age or younger, because if the child swallows at least the amount of 
  toothpaste needed for brushing, the adult should contact a Poison Control 
  Center immediately. My question is, will a seven-year-old also possibly 
  die from swallowing too much Colgate, or is the cut-off point really 
  six-years-old? As a concerned parent-to-be, I of course want to protect my 
  impending arrival from harm while giving him good home dental care. Also, 
  related to this question, Id like to ask (just out of curiosity, of 
  course), how did you determine that six years is the cutoff point? Was 
  that the result of a scientific study (or did you yourself suffer a 
  personal tragedy)? One final question about this issue: I have a 
  grandfather who has Alzheimers Disease, and I am petrified that he is 
  going to suck down a whole tube of Colgate one day. Will that kill him, or 
  make him deathly ill? Are senior citizens immune to the possible lethal 
  effects of your toothpaste, or is it safe to eat it after a certain age? 
  Does it matter whether a person ingests Colgate TOTAL or REGULAR 
  toothpaste?
  2. You market two lines of toothpaste: the TOTAL line and 
  the REGULAR line (for lack of a better term). Each line comes in many 
  variants: gel or paste, with or without "whitener," having or not having 
  "tarter control," and so on (Oh, it can make your head swim!) It seems 
  there would be a great difference between all these choices, yet every box 
  has one common active ingredient: Fluoride ("anti-cavity"). In addition, 
  your TOTAL line lists another active ingredient: Triclosan 
  ("anti-gingivitis"). So why cant we just swish around some fluoride 
  instead of buying your product? And do adults need anti-cavity protection, 
  anyhow? Why dont all your product variants have Triclosan, since most 
  adults gums are rotting in their mouths? Or is Triclosan only for the 
  hoity-toity? 
  3. I noticed that on some of your boxes the fluoride 
  ingredient is called Sodium Fluoride and on other boxes it is called 
  Sodium Monofluorophosphate. I also noticed that sometimes you dont give a 
  number next to the fluoride listing and other times you do give a number, 
  like (.024%, 0.14% W/V Fluoride Ion), or (0.76%, with 0.15% W/V fluoride 
  ion). Why does the variation in listing exist? Are you hiding something on 
  some of your boxes? Perhaps youve cut back a bit in some of your 
  production units and dont want to tell us. Or is it a typo? Please 
  explain.
  4. One of your TOTAL variants says "TOTAL PLUS WHITENING." 
  It claims to have a "breakthrough cleaning ingredient" to whiten teeth by 
  gently removing surface stains. I read this box very closely, and it had 
  the same two active ingredients and the same slew of inactive ingredients 
  as the other TOTAL variants, except for two inactive ingredients: mica and 
  FDC blue no. 1. Is either or both of them responsible for the 
  "whitening" effect? One or both would have to be, it would seem (unless 
  the other TOTAL variants also "whiten," but youre just not telling us). 
  Which is it? A related question is, since mica and FDC blue no. 1 are 
  both inactive ingredients, what is it that produces their whitening 
  action? Does "inactive" have a special meaning in the toothpaste industry 
  I may not be aware of? Please clarify. 
  5. A very closely related question to that above involves

Princess of the Starfire 
  by Mike Bellinger 
  
  

  


  I recently read Laurance Gardner's paper on the ancient 
  alchemical preparation called Starfire, a substitute for the supposed 
  menstrual blood of the ancient Sumerian goddess Ninkar-sag. The Sumerians 
  are believed by many, including Gardner, to be the descendants of the 
  Anunnaki, an alien race who created humanity through genetic manipulation 
  of native ape populations mixed with Anunnaki genetic material. A thought 
  occurred to me. David Icke had laid out a very convincing case in The 
  Biggest Secret that Princess Diana's death was in fact a ritual murder 
  carried out by covert black operations groups within the British and 
  French Masonic Illuminati. The location and manner in which Diana 
  died was laced with Masonic symbolism and clues. The tunnel she died in 
  was the very location of the ancient sacrificial cavern within the Temple 
  of the goddess Diana built in early Paris after it was first settled by 
  Babylonian emigrants. The 13th pillar in the tunnel which the vehicle 
  impacted also fit that same set of reoccurring numbers which show up with 
  great regularity in ritualistic Masonry. I won't list all the correlations 
  Icke gave out of respect for his original research. Read his book and you 
  will have the whole story. The ensuing cover-up seemed to be very 
  well orchestrated and appeared to be closely coordinated between the two 
  governments, but it never quite answered all the questions surrounding her 
  death. As is so often in the case of an assassination arranged by the 
  Illuminati, a patsy was already pre-selected. In this case it was the 
  limousine driver Henri Paul. The missing time in his schedule just prior 
  to the accident was used to explain his supposed intoxication, yet no 
  evidence of intoxication showed in any of the videotaped footage taken by 
  security cameras as the four left the hotel and entered the car. 
  Could Henri Paul have been on a ritualistic murder-suicide 
  mission? I know that may sound absurd, but it is well known in 
  Intelligence circles that the Western governments are expert at creating 
  mind-controlled assassins. The Tavistock Institute in Britain is one of 
  the most notorious centers for mind manipulation known anywhere in the 
  world. And there is a second possibility also. If there was any Jesuit 
  connection in Henri Paul's past, that may also be a clue. The elite 
  Jesuits are known for their extreme oath of obedience including a 
  willingness to die for the cult if so ordered. This connection is only 
  speculation on my part as I do not have the resources to investigate this 
  possibility. The aftermath of the accident was where the mystery 
  seems to deepen. Instead of being rushed to a hospital for emergency 
  treatment, the still living Diana was kept at the scene inside an 
  ambulance for an extended period of time. This was explained away by the 
  Illuminati controlled media as the French method of dealing with trauma 
  accidents. I find this very hard to believe given the circumstances. The 
  severity of this accident coupled with the fame and social position of the 
  victims would have necessitated far better treatment than that, even by 
  French standards. The Parisian police and paramedics are used to dealing 
  with celebrities and foreign diplomats. They would have known better than 
  to treat someone of her stature like an ordinary civilian. This 
  leads me to my most startling speculation. Was the beautiful and innocent 
  Diana harvested by the sick Illuminati who regarded her both as a threat 
  to the British Monarchy and a Protestant thorn in the side of the Jesuit 
  controlled Vatican? Given all of the ritualistic earmarks of her manner of 
  death and the apparent fact that she was dead on arrival at the hospital, 
  it has to make you wonder. Her consort was the wealthy son of a 
  prominent Egyptian family. Diana was a Princess of Britain. (Lon-don means 
  "New Troy"). As such, she was considered to be of Royal or 
  Babylonian-Anunnaki extraction through her mother's and father's genetic 
  lines. That was why she was chosen by the Royal family as Prince Charles's 
  mate, even though he secretly loved someone else. So, a "Babylonian" 
  Princess and an Egyptian "Prince" both died together that day. A very 
  strange coincidence. When Diana died in that ambulance before 
  reaching the hospital; was it by design? Was she allowed to die because 
  they wanted her "royal" blood for their sick rituals? Was Diana killed for 
  multiple reasons? Was she murdered to remove a "troublemaker" and also for

  and protection when all along we needed protection from them and how we 
  are slowly being poisoned by chemicals and electromagnetic waves from all

  can this be if were supposed to be evolving to a higher level and the 
  people who are evil will pretend to be the good guys and no one can see it 
  because they are blinded by the media bullshit. This is handed to them by 
  the shovel full, and all the great causes created to help the less 
  fortunate are actually more blinders to keep us looking the other way 
  while the real crooks are getting away so that they can come up with more 
  plans to turn us all into mindless, loveless human robots to do their 
  bidding and make them all the precious money in the world and how we are 
  walking right down the path they lay before us and a few people are 
  screaming, stop, dont listen, its a trick! But they keep going anyway, 
  and how we think were so smart, yet every day we give more and more 
  freedom up for a false feeling of safety when everyone knows you can never 
  be completely safe. And have you ever wanted to know if there really is a

[CTRL] Israel Justification for kiling pslestinians

2002-10-22 Thread Mermaid
-Caveat Lector-




Israel's Justification for Killing 
Palestinians
by KATHLEEN 
CHRISTISONformer CIA political analyst

  Any discussion of violence and non-violence in the 
  Israeli-Palestinian context encounters a serious problem of definition of 
  terms. First, each side apparently understands its use of violence as a 
  reaction to the violence of the other. In this regard, while Israelis and 
  Palestinians generally agree on a definition of Palestinian violence--from low 
  level stone throwing to suicide bombings--Palestinians define Israeli 
  "violence" in a unique way: occupation, settlement construction, closures, and 
  curfews are "violence", regardless of how and why they came about or whether 
  bullets are fired or people injured. This brings us to the issue of moral 
  equivalency. In Palestinian eyes, the inadvertent killing by Israeli forces of 
  Palestinian civilians--usually in the course of shooting at Palestinian 
  terrorists--is considered no different at the moral and ethical level than the 
  deliberate targeting of Israeli civilians by Palestinian suicide bombers. 
  While the shockingly high numbers of Palestinian civilians killed during the 
  past two years undoubtedly, in some cases, reflect poor judgment or lax 
  discipline on the part of some Israeli troops, in Palestinian eyes there is no 
  grey area here: all violence is equivalent, whatever the motive and 
  backdrop.
  Yossi Alpher (former director, Jaffee Center for 
  Strategic Studies, Tel Aviv University), "Violence and Non-Violence by 
  Palestinians and Israelis: A Question of Definition," bitterlemons.org, October 7, 
  2002
Dear Dr. Alpher:
I have just read your article on non-violence in the 
October 7 issue of bitterlemons.org, and I want to express my dismay at your 
attempt to exonerate Israel for its actions since the intifada began, as well as 
your display of a selective morality that devises alibis for Israeli violence 
while condemning Palestinian violence.
At the start, you label as "unique" the Palestinian view 
that the occupation itself and such actions as settlement construction and 
closures constitute Israeli violence. I would argue, on the contrary, that this 
Palestinian definition of violence is not at all unique but is entirely 
appropriate.
Land confiscation by military force is theft, which is 
violence. As you well know, Israel has confiscated approximately 60% of the land 
area of the West Bank for military use, for settlement construction, and for 
road-building. The theft (violence) has been unprovoked. None of this 
confiscation can be explained away as a response to Palestinian terrorism. 
Moreover, this violence takes land from Palestinians for the exclusive use of 
Jews--a vile form of ethnic/religious discrimination that compounds the 
violence.
House demolitions carried out by military force against 
civilians who have no recourse to the law clearly constitute violence. When the 
demolitions are carried out because Palestinians have built or expanded homes 
without a permit, in a situation where permits are consistently denied to 
Palestinians, the demolitions cannot be explained away as a response to 
Palestinian terrorism. When the demolitions are carried out against the families 
of suspected Palestinian terrorists, this violence is unprovoked by the victims 
of the Israeli action. This is collective punishment (violence), which is 
illegal under the Fourth Geneva Convention.
The forcible confiscation of natural resources such as 
water by a military administration or by armed settlers is theft, which is 
violence. The indisputable fact that Israeli settlers use approximately ten 
times as much water per capita as the Palestinian inhabitants of the West Bank 
and Gaza are allowed to use, and that Palestinians must often stand in line to 
obtain drinking water while Israeli settlers enjoy lush gardens and swimming 
pools, constitutes the worst kind of violence: a violence directed at a civilian 
population simply because of its ethnicity and/or its religion, or rather its 
lack of the right ethnic or religious identity--because it is not Jewish. The 
denial of the basic necessities of life and basic public services to a people 
because they are not Jewish is violence of such immorality that it takes one's 
breath away.
You then proceed to compare Palestinian and Israeli 
violence and declare that there can be no moral equivalence between Israel's 
"inadvertent killing" of Palestinian civilians, "usually in the course of 
shooting at Palestinian terrorists," and the Palestinians' "deliberate 
targeting" of Israeli civilians. Your construction assumes that all Israeli 
killing of civilians is inadvertent, whereas all Palestinian killing of 
civilians is deliberate. I wonder how you explain the following:
On September 29, 2000, seven Palestinian civilians 
throwing stones--not lethal weapons--to protest Sharon's visit the previous day 
to the al-Aqsa Mosque were shot to

  Up until now the 
  Palestinians have thought to outfox the Israelis by putting their children up 
  front, in front of those with guns, knowing that there is a respect for human 
  life in the Israeli community. 
  With so many Israeli childrens lives being taken by the Palestinians, 
  how much do the Israelis have to stand back and allow their children to be 
  killed while respecting the lives of Palestinian children. If 
  the Palestinians love their children, they will keep them at home not send 
  them to the front lines. The 
  Palestinians will have to learn the way to success is not to covet, steal and 
  murder and those who encourage them along these lines are only leading them to 
  destruction. As a community they 
  need to learn that only thru working hard, sacrificing money and time for 
  future generations and putting pressure on the Arab community with its oil 
  barons and its ability to give charity will they get what they need. 
  
  Prudy, if you feel so much 
  in sync with them, go live in their community and either go the covet, steal,

  end.

  time but that it was the first time they were spelled out 
  formally.
  This 
  procedure has been obvious for some time. But it's just fine as long as 
  it's Israeli doing the killing. Present methods of dealing with 
  Palestinians are very frustrating for the Israeli. It's like AIDS. 
  Everybody finally ends up dead, but it takes such a long time. Once our 
  president finally declares war on Iraq, it will be easier to eradicate the 
  Palestinians who have managed to dodge tanks and bulldozers up to now. 
  Once all the Palestinians are dead, Sharon can declare peace in the Middle 
  East enthusiastically and without reservations. Ah victory.

 Zoroastrianism: Good thoughts, good words, good deeds
 BY BOB REEVES / Lincoln Journal Star

 This is one of a series of stories on world religions.



 In about 1,400 B.C. a man named Zarathustra Spitama, a member of a warrior
clan in
 ancient Persia, had a vision that had a far-reaching impact on his society
and the rest of the
 world.

 The Persians at that time were predominantly nature worshippers and
believers in a
 panoply of many gods. The angel in Zarathustra's vision told him there was
only one true
 God, whose name was Ahura Mazda, and that Zarathustra was to become his
prophet.

 Zarathustra (also known as Zoroaster) began preaching and trying to win
converts to his
 new, monotheistic religion. At first he was attacked for his strange new
teachings, but
 eventually the king was converted. Zoroastrianism became the dominant
faith of the Persian
 Empire, which by 600 B.C. spread from its base in modern-day Iran from
India to Asia
 Minor.

 The beliefs and practices of Zoroastrians had widespread influence on
Judaism and
 Christianity, and later on Islam.

 Zoroastrianism is the oldest of the revealed world-religions, and it has
probably had more
 influence on mankind, directly and indirectly, than any other single
faith, wrote religion
 scholar Mary Boyce.

 The central teaching of Zoroastrianism is belief in the one god, Ahura
Mazda, whose name
 means Wise Lord. Ahura Mazda reveals himself in six aspects, known as
the holy
 immortals: Asha (the law), Vohu-Mana (love), Kshthra (loving service),
Armaiti (piety),
 Haurvatat (wholeness or perfection) and Ameretat (immortality).

 Zoroastrianism has often been called a dualism, because the religion
recognizes that the
 world is full of both good and evil. However, Zarathustra taught that both
good and evil
 emanate from Ahura Mazda, who is in control of the world and will
ultimately triumph.

 The evil force is alternatively called Ahriman and Shaitin, from which the
word Satan is
 derived.

 Human beings have free will, so they are free to choose good and reject
evil. People can
 achieve perfection in this life by always choosing good thoughts, good
words and good
 deeds.

 Zoroastrians also believe that after death the soul stays in the body for
three days,
 meditating on the deeds that were done in life. On the fourth day, the
soul journeys to the
 place of judgment. If good thoughts, words and deeds outweigh the bad, the
soul is taken
 into a blissful heaven. Otherwise, the soul is assigned to a horrific
hell.

 Over time, Zoroastrians came to believe in a Saoshyant (World Savior) who
will be born of
 a virgin and who will raise the dead and judge all people in a final
judgment.

 Beliefs in God and Satan, the soul, heaven and hell and the resurrection
are concepts that
 later appeared in Judaism, Christianity and Islam.

 Zoroastrians stress the sacredness of nature, including the four elements:
earth, fire, water
 and air. Temples have a perpetual fire, at which priests make offerings by
burning
 sandalwood.

 The religion has a high standard of righteousness, as expressed in
truthfulness, chastity,
 justice, compassion, care of the soil and cattle, charity, education and
service.

 The Zoroastrian holy book is called the Avesta. It includes the original
words of Zarathustra,
 preserved in a series of five hymns, called the Gathas, plus other
writings dealing with laws
 of ritual and practice. Zoroastrians follow a creed in which they promise,
in part,to ascribe
 to all things good.

 The religion lost its dominance during Greek and Roman times, but
resurfaced in Persia
 after about 200 A.D. When Arabs, followers of Islam, invaded Persia in 650
A.D., most of
 the Zoroastrians fled to India.

 Today, Zoroastrianism is one of the world's smallest religions, with
approximately 11,000
 adherents in Iran, about 100,000 in India (known as Parsis) and others,
mostly immigrants
 from Iran and India, scattered throughout the world. Estimates of the
total number of
 Zoroastrians worldwide range from 150,000 to 200,000.

They 
build up their own communities with money they get from the oil rich Arab 
community and Muslim communities around the world, just as the Jews in 
Israel 
did with the donations they received from the Jewish communities around the 
world. This required sacrifice not 
only from the Jews who had money, but from Jews who while they were only existing sent money to 
Israel 
to help the communities there. It 
would probably help if some who read this board studied how Jewish community 
charity works. Jewish community 
charity has very a long history toward jews and others outside of the Jewish community. 
Oh yes i can see the Israelis allowing them to build up a 
nice communitiy where they are lol Isnt that what all this talk is about giving 
them their own state! Dont be silly! 

Are 
you saying the Arab communities around the world are dirt poor? 
No I was referring to the context of the post 
as i understood it which was I believe, the palestinians had to work to make 
money and stand up on their own two feet!
Murdered? 
You certainly dont know your history.
Well thats rich when Sharon 
butchered all those palestinians not so long back!

Given the 
circumstances, I would know that if I supported a family member killer, that is the chance I would take. You support immoral behavior, thats 
what happens. Not only is 
Israel, but around the 
world.
Fair comment but not all the houses they have bulldozed 
have had killers in them.
The ant kills human 
beings.
If your talking about 
Marabunta there hasnt been a recorded case in years and they only kill because 
of their numbers.
You are 
splitting hairs as usual you know very well i was comparing military might to 
singular acts.

-Caveat Lector-

I thought i posted some key date in satanism on this list the other
day...perhaps i didnt ...you are right about Luciferic light is  a certainly
interesting angle to come from.Michael the archangel was turned (so say)
away from heaven with two thirds of his followers.Could it be that he was an
anarchist and not the way it has been written about.Maybe he didnt like this
hellfire and brimstone attitude toward the people and decided to rebel. I ma
not talking here from the angle of satanism although it can be mixed up with
pagan rites. Is it not happening today people rebelling agianst war and the
hellfire of George W Bush and Mr Tony Blaaah.These people want to
control the educated peace loving faction and history maybe repeating
itself.
If Zecheriah Stitchen is right about the annunaki using people as slaves and
suddenly they become educated free thinking human beings and then rebel
because  they do not like war relising it only brings prosperity to those
who manipulate it...then this upsets the balance doesnt it.
So think back to Michael the arcangel and the two thirds chucked out of
(Heaven) Whose heaven the elites heaven for rebelling?
Angels were portrayed as having wings my guess this was just a
metaphor.Anarchist is so close to antichrist...another metaphor...Jesus was
a common name in biblical times like John is today in englandIt is all
spin to make people believe and to fear what they do not understand and
archaeology has been taken over by this elite to reduce the actual truth of
our beginnings.Lucerferic light may actually be good not bad.
The essenes which Jesus belonged to.   a secret sect could actually have
been a past anarchistic rebellion against the elite..so what do they do they
change it around and use it to nullify the freedom of manand make the
man a martyr for their own cause.

 A little mixed metaphor here?

 The reality tunnel that contains Satan is  Christian. The reality tunnel
 that contains Kali is Hindu. Satanists do not worship Kali. Hindus do.
 Satanists worship the antichrist, which you need a Christ for, or it
doesn¹t
 work.

 Also, in Hinduism, Shiva is the one who destroys the old order tc, not
 Kali.

 Did you know? Public Law 87-297 calls for complete disarmament so the UN
can
 maintain internal peace. 51 million American acres are now UN

 Military capacity of US is 65% and UN is 800% of our 1991 levels. The UN
 Children's Rights takes responsibility away from parents and gives it to

population

 command of US troops (PDD 25).

 5-25-2001
 Several days ago, I was looking for a radio show to listen to on the
 internet while I was doing some other writing for a web page, and came
across
 a show by Dr. John Coleman on the Sightings.com website.

 He so much echoed a lot of the information I had been gleaning over the
 years about the men behind the scenes of the political and social actions
I've
 seen take place. I've quoted a few statements from the radio show below to
 show how much he cares about the Constitution of the United States of
America.

 I had conversations as long as 30 years ago about some of these topics,
but
 as families go, I was put down and shut up rather than listened to and
learned
 not to bring up certain unpleasant topics that people don't want to hear
about
 because they are too busy with mundane life. And as things go, as soon as
 people hear the word 'conspiracy' they think you are a loony.

 I'm aware that people need to work, take care of babies, keep the roof
over
 their heads, have a balanced life with playtime, exercise, mow the lawn,
etc.
 However, when one doesn't take the time to look at the news behind the
news
 and the reasons why events happen as they do, one cannot be certain from
one
 day to the next what is going to occur. One can't be certain either that
they
 are making the proper decisions for their life if they don't know what's
 really going on.

 Dr. John Coleman who is a Constitutional scholar, fits that bill
perfectly.
 He has spent many, many years studying the topics he speaks about.

 He has written a book titled The Committee of 300, along with others,
 lectured on South Africa and the Boer War, and the butchery done on those
 people by England. He has alerted the world through his magazine 'World in
 Review Magazine' with prophecies he makes about the social issues of the
 world. Since he began his career in 1972, he has made 650 predictions and
of
 those 97% came true. The other 3% were slightly inaccurate, not wrong,
just
 slightly inaccurate. That rate of prophecy is better than any psychic I've
 ever heard of. Dr. Coleman doesn't do channeling. He gathers his
information
 the same way that you and I can, through study, learning who is who and
what
 they are doing and what they have done historically. During his career he
has
 served in 15 different countries, so he is not just blowing smoke.

 The March/April 2001, issue of ' World in Review Magazine  is headlined
 about Cecil John Rhodes. - The world united under British domination.

 The British may not have won their war with us when we originally fought
for
 our independence in the American colonies, with their pretty 'redcoats'
and
 tight white pants and shiny black boots on our shores, but they have not
given
 up. Anybody notice how the ex-Princess Fergie started out telling us how
to
 lose weight and now she is advising us on what to buy in the stock-market?
 Wait until you hear what Dr. Coleman has to say about the way Britain is
still
 waging the war on the U.S.

 It was rumoured that Princess Diana was to marry one of our political
 figures a few years back. That would have tied Great Britain to America in
 more than one way. Did you know that the Queen of England owns land in
 Colorado? The British still run Canada. How much of a stretch would it be
to
 move the border a little further south?

 And where was the first place the President George W. Bush went after he
 took office? To Mexico to confer with President Vincente Foxx to open up
 dialogues of trade and immigration to the United States. For those of you
who
 aren't aware, there are now more Mexican people in California than there
are
 white people, not all of whom are citizens. Spanish is always used in any
 legal instructions to patrons of offices and stores, and on the telephone.
 Some schools do not even teach classes in English. It is a
 similar situation and sometimes worse in all the southern states along the
 Mexican/US border, particularly in Texas. Notice how well President George
W.
 Bush speaks Spanish.

[CTRL] Large Bird sighted in alaska

2002-10-16 Thread Mermaid
-Caveat Lector-




NATIONAL


A super-sized bird in Alaska
By PETER PORCOAnchorage Daily NewsOctober 15, 
2002 
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - A giant winged creature, like something out of 
Jurassic Park, has reportedly been sighted several times in Southwest Alaska in 
recent weeks. 
Villagers in Togiak and Manokotak say they have seen a huge bird that's much 
bigger than anything they have seen before. 
A pilot says he spotted the creature while flying passengers to Manokotak 
last week. He calculated that its wingspan matched the length of a wing on his 
Cessna 207. That's about 14 feet. 
Other people have put the wingspan in a similar range. 
Scientists aren't sure what to make of the reports. No one doubts that people 
in the region west of Dillingham have seen a very large rapto-like bird. But 
biologists and other people familiar with big Alaska birds say they're skeptical 
it's that big. 
A recent sighting of the mystery bird occurred Oct. 10 when Moses Coupchiak, 
a 43-year-old heavy equipment operator from Togiak, 40 miles west of Manokotak, 
saw the bird flying toward him from about two miles away as he worked his 
tractor. 
"At first I thought it was one of those old-time Otter planes," Coupchiak 
said. "Instead of continuing toward me, it banked to the left, and that's when I 
noticed it wasn't a plane." 
The bird was "something huge," he said. "The wing looks a little wider than 
the Otter's, maybe as long as the Otter plane." 
The bird flew behind a hill and disappeared. Coupchiak got on the radio and 
warned people in Togiak to tell their children to stay away. 
Pilot John Bouker said he was highly skeptical of reports of "this great big 
eagle" that is two or three times the size of a bald eagle. "I didn't put any 
thought into it." 
But early this week while flying into Manokotak, Bouker, owner of Bristol Bay 
Air Service, looked out his left window and 1,000 feet away, "there's this big 
... . bird," he said. 
"The people in the plane all saw him," Bouker said. "He's huge, he's huge, 
he's really, really big. You wouldn't want to have your children out." 
Nicolai Alakayak, a freight and passenger driver from Manokotak who was 
flying with Bouker, said the creature looked like an eagle and was as large as 
"a little Super Cub." 
Comparison to an eagle, certainly. Super Cub? Probably not, scientists said. 
"I'm certainly not aware of anything with a 14-foot wingspan that's been 
alive for the last 100,000 years," said federal raptor specialist Phil Schemf in 
Juneau. 
Schemf, other biologists, a village police officer and teachers at the 
Manokotak School said the sightings could be of a Steller's sea eagle, a species 
native to northeast Asia and one of the world's largest eagles. It's about 50 
percent bigger than a bald eagle.

  In the last year the Bush Administration and the financial, economic and 
  oil interests which it serves, have proved their continued ability to move 
  forward into totalitarianism and naked aggression faster than any forces 
  of either domestic or international opposition could organize -- either 
  behind them or in front of them. Optimistic and valiant, but inexperienced 
  efforts to fight the juggernaut have started, swirled, eddied and 
  drifted as the Blitzkrieg war that "will not end in our lifetimes" has 
  not even so much as looked sideways. Overwhelming evidence of the 
  regime's crimes in a dozen arenas has been brought to the surface, and 
  yet each new revelation only spurs the Empire to accelerate its 
  long-conceived plans rather than slow down. As FTW predicted in May 2001 
  with Citigroup's overt purchase of known drug money laundering 
  institution Banamex -- and its placement of the bank's owner, Roberto 
  Hernandez, on the board of directors with former U.S. Treasury Secretary 
  Robert Rubin and former CIA director John Deutch -- the criminality of 
  the economic elites has been so overt as to seem careless about what 
  they did, and who saw it. That was four months before 9-11.The 
  middle path between optimism and pessimism is realism. And the fact is 
  that nothing has appeared in the form of any organized effort which, based 
  upon past experience, offers any likelihood of success in challenging the 
  Bush Administration or those who direct it. It is the past experience 
  issue that is so diligently ignored by those newly awakened voices of 
  opposition who expend needless energy debating whether explosives were 
  placed in the towers, whether the planes were remote controlled, whether 
  an airliner really hit the Pentagon, or whether maybe Congress will 
  actually do something about any of it. These debates are worse than 
  rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. They are expediting the demise 
  of people who could otherwise be constructing life rafts. The proof 
  already exists that the government lied.When I was a young policeman I 
  responded to a dead body call. The victim was a fresh victim of a homicide 
  and his throat had been slashed so badly that his head was nearly 
  decapitated. This was new to me, horrifying. I knelt and started to take a 
  pulse and my training officer stopped me. He said, "When you see someone 
  with their head cut off, it is not necessary to take a pulse." I responded 
  that my training in the Los Angeles police academy had said that you 
  should do this on a dead body call. He said, "When you have a dead body 
  like this and someone seriously asks you whether you took their pulse or 
  not, arrest them for 5150." Section 5150 of the California Health and 
  Safety Code covers persons who are mentally ill and a danger to themselves 
  or others.Like those who still debate the arcane details of the JFK 
  assassination, some 39 years later -- having never corrected the crimes 
  that were committed then -- none of these efforts will have the slightest 
  impact on a brutal agenda being waged to control the last remaining oil 
  reserves on the planet, an agenda that is leading directly to a genocide 
  of Islamic peoples all over the world, and perhaps into Armageddon 
  itself.Some will cheer foolhardily because the ultra-secret court 
  established under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) has 
  just embarrassed John Ashcroft, our demented attorney general, by 
  releasing a decision showing that the FBI and the Justice Department have 
  provided false and inaccurate information to the court to obtain warrants 
  in criminal cases -- a function that court was never intended to fulfill. 
  They will whistle in the dark and pat themselves on the back as a 
  portion of the USA Patriot Act has been ruled unconstitutional in a

 NEW SEISMIC DATA REFUTES OFFICIAL EXPLANATION

 Two unexplained spikes in the seismic record from Sept. 11 indicate huge
 bursts of energy shook the ground beneath the World Trade Center's twin
towers
 immediately prior to the collapse.

 http://www.americanfreepress.net/09_03_02/NEW_SEISMIC_/new_seismic_.html

 By Christopher Bollyn


 American Free Press has learned of pools of molten steel found at the
base
 of the collapsed twin towers weeks after the collapse. Although the energy
 source for these incredibly hot areas has yet to be explained, New York
 seismometers recorded huge bursts of energy, which caused unexplained
seismic
 spikes at the beginning of each collapse.

 These spikes suggest that massive underground explosions may have
literally
 knocked the towers off their foundations, causing them to collapse.

 In the basements of the collapsed towers, where the 47 central support
columns
 connected with the bedrock, hot spots of literally molten steel were
 discovered more than a month after the collapse. Such persistent and
intense
 residual heat, 70 feet below the surface, in an oxygen starved
environment,
 could explain how these crucial structural supports failed.

 Peter Tully, president of Tully Construction of Flushing, N.Y., told AFP
that
 he saw pools of literally molten steel at the World Trade Center.

 Tully was contracted after the Sept. 11 tragedy to re move the debris from
the
 site.

 Tully called Mark Loizeaux, president of Controlled Demolition, Inc. (CDI)
of
 Phoenix, Md., for consultation about removing the debris. CDI calls itself
 the innovator and global leader in the controlled demolition and
implosion of
 structures.

 Loizeaux, who cleaned up the bombed Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in
 Oklahoma City, arrived at the WTC site two days later and wrote the
clean-up
 plan for the entire operation.

 AFP asked Loizeaux about the report of molten steel on the site.

 Yes, he said, hot spots of molten steel in the basements.

 These incredibly hot areas were found at the bottoms of the elevator
shafts
 of the main towers, down seven [basement] levels, Loizeaux said.

 The molten steel was found three, four, and five weeks later, when the
rubble
 was being removed, Loizeaux said. He said molten steel was also found at
7
 WTC, which collapsed mysteriously in the late afternoon.

 Construction steel has an extremely high melting point of about 2,800
degrees
 Fahrenheit.

 Asked what could have caused such extreme heat, Tully said, Think of the
jet
 fuel.

 Loizeaux told AFP that the steel-melting fires were fueled by paper,
carpet
 and other combustibles packed down the elevator shafts by the tower floors
as
 they 'pancaked' into the basement.

 However, some independent investigators dispute this claim, saying
kerosene
 based jet fuel, paper, or the other combustibles normally found in the
towers,
 cannot generate the heat required to melt steel, especially in an oxygen
poor
 environment like a deep basement.

 Eric Hufschmid, author of a book about the WTC collapse, Painful
Questions,*
 told AFP that due to the lack of oxygen, paper and other combustibles
packed
 down at the bottom of elevator shafts would probably be a smoky
smoldering
 pile.

 Experts disagree that jet fuel or paper could generate such heat.

 This is impossible, they say, because the maximum temperature that can be
 reached by hydrocarbons like jet-fuel burning in air is 1,520 degrees F.
 Because the WTC fires were fuel rich, as evidenced by the thick black
smoke,
 it is argued that they did not reach this upper limit.

 The hottest spots at the surface of the rubble, where abundant oxygen was
 available, were much cooler than the molten steel found in the basements.

 Five days after the collapse, on Sept. 16, the National Aeronautics and
Space
 Administration (NASA) used an Airborne Visible/Infrared Imaging
Spectrometer
 (AVIRIS) to locate and measure the site's hot spots.

 Dozens of hot spots were mapped, the hottest being in the east corner of
the
 South Tower where a temperature of 1,377 degrees F was recorded.

 This is, however, less than half as hot at the molten steel in the
basement.

 The foundations of the twin towers were 70 feet deep. At that level, 47
huge
 box columns, connected to the bedrock, supported the entire gravity load
of
 the structures. The steel walls of these lower box columns were four
inches
 thick.

 Videos of the North Tower collapse show its communication mast falling
first,
 indicating that the central support columns must have failed at the very
 beginning of the collapse. Loizeaux told AFP, Everything went
 simultaneously.

 At 10:29 the entire top section of the North Tower had been severed from
the
 base and began falling down, Hufschmid writes. If the first event was
the
 falling

Author's 
Note: The U.S. features agency which distributes world-wide a

years, American democracy, it seems, is still not resilient enough to take it on

blistering attack on Communism under Stalin, Animal Farm, in 1943, could not 
find a British or American publisher because `Uncle Joe' was then their war-time 
ally. I am grateful to Frontline for agreeing to put itself, second only to 
Saddam Hussein, in the American line of fire. Incidentally, "Boche" is the 
French pejorative for German soldier, in use since the First World War. 
However, the resemblance between Bush and Boche is not merely 
onomatopoeic!  

'Hi, Bush' to 'Heil 
Boche' By Mani Shankar 
Aiyar
FRONTLINE - India - 
published by THE HINDU - 12 October 2002: 
"HISTORY," says T.S. 
Eliot, "has many cunning passages." What an irony that the Germany which 
destroyed the 20th century is poised to save the 21st. The people who voted the 
Third Reich have now voted "No" to the invasion of Iraq. For if Gerhard 
Schroeder has won a surprise second term it is entirely because his rival first 
raised Iraq and Schroeder chased him to say "No" to Bush. Europe now has its 
John Foster Dulles to stall another Suez in the West 
Asia. 
The Bush Doctrine has 
elevated "regime change" as the foreign policy alternative to national 
sovereignty and collective security under the U.N. Charter. Saddam must go. 
Arafat must go. The US will decide who is a good `un and who a Bad 
Boy. And if they will not do as told, the entire population will be 
bombed to smithereens. 
We have been here 
before. "Regime change" is what Hitler insisted on in ordering the Austrian 
Chancellor Kurt von Schuschnigg to quit in favour of the Nazi quisling Artur 
Seyss-Inquart when the Chancellor committed the outrage, in Hitler's eyes, of 
ordering a plebiscite to ascertain whether the Austrian people wished to be 
absorbed into the German Reich. 
"Regime change" is 
what Hitler then demanded in Prague. President Edouard Benes held out in the 
hope of his allies  France, Britain and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics 
(USSR)  coming to his rescue. The Soviet Union was willing but France refused 
unless Britain obliged. Instead of mobilising, British Prime Minister Neville 
Chamberlain flew (twice) to Hitler's feet. Waving a piece of a paper, he landed 
back in London proclaiming "Peace for our time". Germany then marched into 
Czechoslovakia without a shot being fired (an example Bush would wish to emulate 
by threatening Saddam into submission). Hitler then personally supervised regime 
change in the Hradacny palace. 
Next was Poland's 
turn. Hitler demanded that Colonel Josef Beck go and Berlin decide who will rule 
in Warsaw. Beck demurred. The Brits suddenly discovered their resolve. And the 
Second World War began. Some fifty million died in the cause of "regime change". 
That is why the German Minister of Justice bluntly compared the actions of Bush 
to those of Hitler. Bush is readying to do to Baghdad what Franco and his Nazi 
allies did to Guernica. Listen to Churchill College, Cambridge, historian Piers 
Brendon in his masterly panorama of the 1930s, The Dark 
Valley: 
"Waves of aircraft 
flew abreast to carry out the first European exercise in carpet bombing." The 
first flight dropped six bombs containing a ton and a half of explosives in the 
center of Guernica. It "caused havoc among passengers waiting for the Bilbao 
train, gashed open the front of the Hotel Julian and left the station plaza 
strewn with smashed bodies and smoking debris. A cloud of dust mushroomed 
skywards and witnesses heard the `wild shrieking of a terrified people.' Every 
fifteen minutes the raiders returned. They pulverised the town, creating a 
miniature fire-storm in its ruins. They destroyed three-quarters of the 
buildings." Priests in the Santa Maria church tried to extinguish an incendiary 
bomb "with communion wine. Whether the inhabitants prayed or screamed, fled or 
cowered, they were purused by flights of fighters which, `like flashing dancing 
waves on shingle', machine-gunned them from as low as 200 
feet." 
The unbounded horror 
of it all was captured by Pablo Picasso on canvas. 
What Bush is 
threatening Iraq with if Saddam does not go the Benes way is what Mussolini did 
to Abyssinia (as Ethiopia was then called) when Emperor Haile Selassie refused 
to yield up his nation as an Italian colony. Here is

  The Greatest Civic 
  Sin
  There is a certain poem by 
  Rudyard Kipling. I can't quote it exactly, but the relevant two lines are 
  something like "When they ask why they died, tell them it was because 
  their fathers lied."
  Kipling's son died on his 
  18th birthday in World War I. I believe the bitter little poem was 
  directed at himself, for Kipling had been an imperial enthusiast and had 
  used his influence to get his son a commission, despite his son being 
  underage and medically disqualified. Kipling was never the same after. The 
  illusions about patriotism and honor and glory vanished for him, as they 
  did for millions who died in that stupid war.
  A lot of America's sons have 
  died because "their fathers lied." The U.S. government lied through its 
  teeth about the Tonkin Gulf resolution, an authorization for war based on 
  a nonexistent attack, which Lyndon Johnson used as an excuse to pour 
  American troops into Vietnam. 
  Franklin Roosevelt lied when 
  he campaigned and promised he would never send American boys to fight in a 
  foreign war. Long before he said it, he and Winston Churchill were 
  plotting to get America into the war. Woodrow Wilson had campaigned on the 
  slogan "He kept us out of the war," and then promptly got us into the war 
  after the J.P. Morgan interests told him all of their loans would be 
  jeopardized if the British were defeated.
  I have come to believe that 
  the greatest civic sin is to lie to the people. It ought to be considered 
  the unforgivable sin. It undercuts the very basis of self-government. That 
  concept, pioneered by America's Founding Fathers, says that the people can 
  make the right decisions in the long run provided they are given the 
  facts. If they are lied to, they are denied the opportunity to make the 
  right decisions. They are, rather than choosing their destiny, being 
  manipulated by others for hidden reasons.
  That's why I've become so 
  anti-war, which is not the same thing as being a pacifist. I will support 
  any war in the genuine defense of this country, but I have not seen an 
  honest war in my lifetime or read of one since the War Between the States. 
  Even World War II was based on lies. It's true that the Japanese attacked 
  Pearl Harbor. It is also true that the Roosevelt administration maneuvered 
  them into a position in which they had no choice but to attack the United 
  States. The Japanese certainly did not wish to go to war with the United 
  States if it could have been avoided. Even the Third Reich never had any 
  interest in conquering the world as Americans were told repeatedly during 
  the war.
  Both the "War to End All 
  Wars" and the "War for Democracy" were based on lies. They were both wars 
  involving a conflict of empires and would-be empires, which did not 
  concern the United States. Peace and democracy had nothing to do with the 
  wars.
  I served in the U.S. Army, 18 
  months on active duty and the rest in the Army Reserve. I'm glad, though, 
  that I wised up in time to discourage my children from joining. The 
  all-volunteer Army, which is really a mercenary Army, was adopted to make 
  it easier for the United States to go to war. The sons and daughters of 
  the powerful and influential, of course, don't volunteer. Our soldiers are 
  mostly minorities and lower-middle-class kids. They are wonderful 
  Americans, but they are, as far as the American elite is concerned, 
  expendable. They can be lied to.
  We have become a nation of 
  liars. The politicians lie, journalists lie, corporate CEOs lie, and 
  stockbrokers and other salesmen lie. Advertisers lie. Businesses lie. 
  Preachers and priests and rabbis lie. And because of those lies, the young 
  in our own and in other countries die or have their lives blighted by 
  wounds, disease and poverty. As Thomas Jefferson said, if God is just,

  We 
  Would Like To HearYOUR 
  COMMENT
The Suicide Bomberby LOUIS RENE 
BERES
THE "SUICIDE BOMBER" is a contradiction in terms. Animated by the 
voverriding wish to conquer personal death -- to live forever amidst 
seventy-two virgins and rivers of honey -- this homicidal terrorist 
sees absolutely nothing suicidal about his willful murder of 
defenseless Israeli civilians. For him, the "death" that he plans so 
meticulously to suffer is merely a momentary inconvenience on his 
fiery propulsion into heaven, a markedly temporary annoyance on his 
bloodsoaked road to immortality.
What can we learn from this paradox, from a 
"suicide" that does not intend to end the bomber's life, but rather 
to extend it? For Israel, which now struggles against Palestinian 
terrorism (Hamas, Islamic Jihad, PLO, it makes no difference) with 
nary a hint of real understanding, the essential lesson is this: 
Recognize that your adversary is not heroic and fearless, but 
exactly the opposite. Understand that he is a terrorizing and 
terrible coward, one so utterly immobilized by existential anxieties 
of nonbeing that he will do anything -- including the killing of 
other people's infants and children -- to prevent his own death. 
Blowing himself up with explosives to ensure his personal survival, 
he wants all the world to believe that he has embarked upon suicidal 
operations ("military operations," in the words of Arafat ally and 
Hamas leader Abdel-Aziz Rantisi) when, in reality, the prospect of 
real self-sacrifice is altogether beyond his comprehension. were he 
to believe even for a moment that his "suicide" were really an exit 
from all life this Arab terrorist would resist, frantically and 
completely, every invitation to "martyrdom."
The "suicide bomber" is fully convinced that 
in destroying Jews he has prevented his own death. Killing Jews 
offers him an unparalleled feeling of relief, of the very greatest 
power any human being can enjoy, of immunity from personal 
mortality. The insufferable death fear of his ego is lessened by the 
sacrifice of the infidel Jew; it is through the bombing of Jewish 
women and children that he buys himself free from the penalty of 
ever being killed. What is more, he knows beyond a shadow of doubt 
that after executing this sacrifice literally millions of other 
Muslims will proudly raise their heads over the newest field of 
Jewish corpses, smile broadly into the sun, and reaffirm G-d's 
greatness to all the world.
For Israel there is little point to deterring 
would-be suicide bombers from terrorist operations with threats of 
death -- threats which are received not only without apprehension, 
but, expectedly, with a delirious joy and collective ecstasy. No, to 
deter the "suicide bomber," Israel must now offer the prospective 
murderer the compelling threat of authentic suicide, of the 
knowledge that his explosion of Jewish bodies will bring not a 
prompt entry into paradise but only an irreversible slide into the 
eternal darkness, into oblivion, into death.
There is another idea that Israel must 
quickly understand. The young Palestinian male who seeks the 
"martyrdom" of a "suicide bomber" is presently at a loss for any 
alternative validation of his maleness and his personhood. Now 
dependent altogether upon community esteem, he is unable to do 
anything else that could conceivably bring to him the same measure 
of deference, nay reverence, that so reliably accompanies what he so 
erroneously calls "suicide."
As a crowd-centered being, the Islamic 
suicide bomber is fully unfolded as a soldier of G-d and The Prophet 
only by dispensing with independent thought. Made complete through 
the sacrifice of the despised other -- of the Jew whose continued 
existence challenges his own longing for eternal life -- he comes 
truly to life only through the deliverance of death. To create

The point of my post which perhaps i did not make clear was not so much the
side effects but the claim by Smith Klein glaxo that this drug is not habit
forming ...It is Also any side effects which cause people to change
their personalities should not be allowed onto the market untill they have
been properly tested in this case they were tested and the results which,
they tried to hide amongst masses of paperwork, were deemed unacceptable by
an independent doctor.
Besides this do we really want kids to start taking these mind altering

Robert Thompson and Jon 
  Venables: Great Britain's Infamous Ten-Year-Old Kidnappers 
  by Sky Ryan 
  
  

  


  "Come on, baby," Jon Venables urged pulling toddler James 
  Bulger by the hand. Jons best chum, Robert Thompson, walked a few feet in 
  front of them leading the way out the front glass doors of the Bootle 
  Strand Shopping Center just outside Liverpool, England. Venables 
  and Thompson had been "sagging" (British for playing hooky) that chilly 
  afternoon in February of 1993. The two schoolboys were close friends as 
  well as disreputable rabble-rousers from broken homes. Jon and 
  Robert spent that morning and early part of the afternoon goofing around 
  the Bootle Strand on a shoplifting high. The wily imps managed to smuggle 
  all kinds of crap out of several businesses without getting caught. Among 
  the items they ripped off were batteries, candy, toy soldiers, magic 
  markers, blue paint, and a troll doll for Roberts collection. Several 
  hours into pocketing small stuff, Jon and Robert grew bored of their 
  spree. They agreed to move onto stealing something far more valuable than 
  merchandise in a store, something sure to give them a bigger rush: a real, 
  live baby. A little after three oclock when they should have been 
  getting out of school, Venables and Thompson strolled nonchalantly through 
  the mall in search of a smaller unsupervised kid. It didnt take long for 
  Satan to lead them to James Bulger -- a preschooler playing alone with 
  cigarette butts in an ashtray outside the malls butcher shop. Baby James 
  had wandered away from his young mum just a minute before Jon and Robert 
  approached him. As the naughty truants hastily lured Bulger out of the 
  galleria, his mother Denise chit-chatted away in the long, crowded line of 
  the butchers, unaware her son had vanished. Not until she finished making 
  her purchase did Mrs. Bulger notice her only child was gone from her side. 
  She called out for him in the shop and asked strangers all around if they 
  had seen a two-year-old with blond hair wearing a blue anorak. Nobody she 
  approached had. She then tracked down security guards, who announced 
  Jamess disappearance over the speakers. Denise and the guards 
  searched for Jamie throughout the plaza for a full half hour. At 4:15 
  p.m., they called police to report him missing. By the time authorities 
  got to the mall to interview Jamess mum, hed been led nearly a mile away 
  by his abductors. Bulger became fussy within the first few minutes he was 
  dragged between Robert and Jon. As soon as he would whine for his mummy 
  and try to stop walking, the older lads would force him to go on, 
  punching, kicking, and shaking him til hed cooperate. Venables and 
  Thompson wandered around town for about ninety minutes with Jamie, 
  covering a two mile radius. During those ninety minutes, they took Bulger 
  into a couple of stores, including a pet shop and bakery. They also yanked 
  him down a grassy slope to a canal under a bridge where they got a kick 
  out of dangling him upside down and dropping him on his head. A 
  few minutes into that particular torture game, Jon and Robert stopped 
  themselves from having too much fun. It wasnt quite dark yet and they 
  knew someone could easily peer down the hill and discover them hurting a 
  baby. So Jon carried the bruised and whimpering James in his arms, 
  following his leader up the bank. When they reached the hilltop, they 
  adjusted Jamies coat and scarf to cover as much of his swollen face as 
  possible, then roamed about town for a bit longer until nightfall. 
  At 5:30, when they felt it was finally dark enough, Venables and 
  Thompson took Bulger to one of their favorite play spots -- some railroad 
  tracks -- where they knocked Baby to the ground and stomped on his tummy 
  and chest. Jon opened the jar of bright blue paint hed pocketed earlier 
  and splashed it across the tykes face. Robert removed Bulgers shoes and 
  pants, then inserted the stolen AAA batteries into his rectum. One of them 
  spotted a two-foot long heavy iron pipe nearby, which they used to bash 
  their toy tots brains in. They also found bricks to hurl at him. 
  When Bulgers body went stiff, Jon took him by the legs while 
  Robert got hold of the torso. They carried James directly over the 
  railroad tracks and laid him down so that his upper half was off the 
  tracks, while his naked legs were on them. They left before the 
  train came.

  NOTE: :http://www.victorthorn.com/babel/issue78/bankers.htmlInternational 
  bankers live in fear. Not of starvation, disease, or war. These are the 
  concerns of children in the Third World. Bankers are terrified we 
  might object to paying them billions each year in interest for money they 
  create out of nothing, guaranteed by our taxes. (The Federal Reserve 
  Board, a private cartel of mostly foreign banks, finagled this monopoly in 
  1913.) The bankers are frightened that, like the homeless man's 
  dog, we might say "I can do this myself." They are scared the 
  government might go even further and "default" on trillions of 
  make-believe "debt." They are frightened of losing "control." 
  In order to sleep more soundly, the bankers have taken "steps." 
  These precautions help us to understand the world we live in, why 
  it is becoming safer for bankers but less safe and more bizarre for 
  everyone else. First, people with money machines tend to have a 
  lot of friends. The bankers helped their friends establish monopolies in 
  oil, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, transportation, media, etc. and took a 
  healthy stake. As you can imagine, these people are thick as thieves. 
  Lawyers, journalists and intellectuals all vie for a piece of the action. 
  (Servicing this cartel of cartels is what passes for success these days.) 
  The bankers' first precaution is to buy all the politicians. The 
  second is to buy the major media outlets in order to promote the illusion 
  politicians make decisions and represent our interests. The third 
  precaution is to take control of the education system, ensuring that 
  people stop thinking at an early age. Then the bankers use the 
  government and media to convince us that religion, nationalism, and 
  nuclear family are unfashionable, and we want what they want. We 
  "want" world government ("globalisation"). The bankers need to eliminate 
  nation states, freedom and democracy in order to streamline their business 
  and consolidate their power. The UN, the IMF and World Bank, -- glorified 
  loan sharks and collectors -- will make the laws. We "want" 
  diversity. Countries are not allowed to maintain their national identities 
  or traditions. Last Christmas, Gary Doer, my provincial premier tried to 
  rename the Christmas tree at the legislature a "multicultural tree." 
  Diversity is respecting every culture but our own. Every nation must be 
  heterogeneous and disparate as a box of Smarties  not one of them in a 
  position to challenge the bankers. Or take "feminism." 
  Masquerading as equal rights for women, this Marxist Lesbian ideology is 
  designed to destroy the nuclear family (the basic building block of 
  society) by undermining paternal authority. Cultural differences between 
  men and women are not "stereotypes." But signatories to the latest UN 
  "CEDAW" Convention (recently passed by the US Senate Foreign Relations 
  Committee) will be required to "take all appropriate measures to modify 
  all social and cultural patterns of conduct of men and women." (Article 5) 
  This kind of Communist-inspired social engineering is simply 
  persecution of heterosexuals. It is intended to arrest our natural 
  development: the birth rate has halved while the divorce rate has doubled. 
  An army of highly paid lawyers, social workers and bureaucrats treat the 
  casualties. These self-serving do-gooders are the bankers' biggest 
  constituency. People --stunted, love-starved, and sex-obsessed -- 
  without family, religious or national identity, are easy to control. 
  (They'll join anything; they are looking for a family.) But in case of 
  resistance, the bankers have created a bogeyman, "terrorism" to justify a 
  huge security apparatus. The Office of Homeland Security is 
  designed to control us -- the domestic population. Why would this be 
  necessary? We're "in debt" trillions of dollars and the bankers intend 
  that we pay. One day they will take away our toys. In case it's a problem, 
  an Orwellian police state will be in place. But first, the Muslims must be 
  subjugated and robbed. Talking about the United States as if it 
  were an independent country is silly. American politicians pawned U.S. 
  sovereignty in 1913. Ever since, U.S. soldiers have been bullyboys for 
  international bankers, and nothing else. The American taxpayer and 
  soldier made the First World War possible. It started just six months 
  after the establishment of the "Fed". Its purpose was to increase debt, 
  cripple the great European nation states, slaughter a generation, and 
  establish two of the bankers' pet projects: Communism (Russia) and Zionism

10/13/02 10:14:29 AM Pacific Daylight Time 

Dear Jeff, 
Just a few weeks ago many Australians saw a 
TV interview with a somewhat gruff US Ambassador to OZ who, seemingly upset with 
the prevalent (majority) popular objection of Australian citizens to Australia's 
involvement in the planned US military invasion of Iraq (or "Regime Change" as 
it has become known in extant "Poli-Speak"), warned us that Australia was not 
immune to Al Qaeda style terrorist action. Crazy as it seems at first sight many 
who saw this interview gleaned his attitudeto actually be an unspoken but 
implied threat of terrorist action if we did not mend our wayward 
non-compliantattitudes  
Our OZ ways have included a rising anguish at the 
treatment of the Palestinians by the forces of Israel as directed by Sharon and 
supported by Bush, AND a very widespread and fast setting viewagainst 
helping in the US plans for a military invasion of Iraq, coupled with an 
increasing anger at the new Pax Americana planetary policies of Dubya's 
USA. 
Meanwhile in Europethe Germans were fighting an 
internal political election battle over Yes-No re support for the planned US 
military invasion of Iraq. The NO side won and Germany came down solidly against 
any involvement in, or UN support for, the planned US-Iraq war.Similarly 
France held out against the USA and, although willing to support renewed UN site 
investigations, refused to back the US demand for stronger UN 
resolutionsthat would automatically lead via a short fuse to a rapid UN 
supported war on Iraq. Reportedlythe vast majority of other European 
populations are also dead set against this new US war. Not only these peoples 
but also a very large percentage of Britons are similarly dis-interested in this 
new American game - with it's very real risk of devolution into World War 
III. 
Then within a few days we were presented with fresh 
Al Jazeera TV announcements (a) that Osama bin Laden (aka they seek him here - 
they seek him there - the elusive pimpernel) was alive and well, and (2) a 
message -reportedly from another Al Qaeda Chief - threatening terrorist 
attacks against both French and German interests. These news items were 
immediately followed by a terrorist attack -an explosive laden motor boat 
against a French Super-Tanker off the coast of Yemen. 
 
Back in OZ we simultaneously experienced nation 
wide TV warnings by oneRohan Gunaratna, the author of "Inside Al 
Qaeda". This previously unknown to us "expert on 
terrorism"issued a specific warningthat Al Qaeda members have 
been trained to destroy targets in Australia,stating thathe'd been 
given the information during debriefings of captured Al Qaeda members. Amazing 
how this author got access to these prisoners - the most tightly held since the 
Gulag Archipelago - and national TV airtime across OZ - he must have some very 
interesting connections.. 
 
Then last night there occurred the horrendous and 
despicable terrorist bombings of two night clubs in Bali - frequented 
predominantly byholidaying Australians. First reports talk of +182 dead 
(with the count expected to climb) plus hundreds wounded including many horribly 
burned. These casualtiesinclude many young Australian, English, German, 
Dutch, and Indonesian-Balinese. 
 
Just what sort of "Muslim Terrorist" threatens to 
bomb the persons and interests of people who are basically for Human Rights in 
Palestine and against the US Dubya Bush plans for an invasion of Iraq ??? What 
sort of IDIOT would then do so and thereby ruin this genuine grass roots support 
for their cause within Germany, France, Britain, Holland etc, and Australia 
??? 
 
Strangely unlike the Northern Irish or Basque 
terrorist actions these latest bombings of people and assets have NOT been 
followed by any public claims of authorship and their cause. 
 
However this omission has been corrected by our 
Australian TV which has been running pictures of Saddam Hussein andlinking 
the blasts to Al Qaeda or off-shoot SE Asian Muslim organisations - throughout 
tonight's Bali Bombing News slots. 
 
We are told tonight by our new ABC "terrorist guru" 
- Rohan Gunaratna - that "ONLY Al Qadea have the intention and ability to 
carryout such terrorist bombings as that in Bali"... 

 
I seem to recall an almost identical line being 
spunon US TV - just minutes after the 9-11New York Twin Trade Tower 
incidents . ONLY AL QAEDA can do this - NO ONE else - do not 
forget this viewers !!! 
 
Obviously the Al Qaeda group lack quality spin 
doctors and planners amongst their other key personnel - the ones with the "sole 
planetary ability to mount such terrorist attacks" - since better strategic 
planning would presumably strike real enemies of the Muslim or Iraqi world - not 
their potential or real allies. 
 
Equally obviously such claims that Al Qaeda are the 
ONLY possible sources of such terrorism are

  Is Israel Really America's Friend?By Hal 
  Turner10-12-2
  


  

  Elsewhere on this website, I have collected many 
  articles by Western journalists, Jews and Israelis, and human rights 
  organizations all of whom condemn Israel's policies in Palestine. I 
  have also provided evidence that Israel is an apartheid state. I 
  believe that all of this should be sufficient reason for America to 
  stop supporting Israel - we should stand up for justice. But even if 
  you don't find this a compelling argument, we can look at whether 
  Israel has really been a loyal ally to the U.S., or whether the 
  U.S.-Israeli relationship is costing America. Is Israel really 
  America's friend? Examine the evidence below. 
  
  A friend wouldn't: 
  
  * spy on America 
  * sell American military secrets to America's 
  enemies 
  * pirate America's technology 
  * stockpile weapons of mass destruction 
  * attack an American naval vessel in international 
  waters 
  * stand by and let Americans be killed 
  Israel has done all of these and continues to do 
  them. This is not "Muslim propaganda". All reports are taken from 
  American or Israeli news sources and journalists.

Bush's Banana RepublicBy Francis Boyle

10-13-2

  
  

  
George W. Bush was never elected 
President by the People of the United States of America. Instead, 
he was anointed for that Office by five Justices of the United States 
Supreme Court who themselves had been appointed by Republican 
Presidents. Bush Jr.'s installation was an act of judicial usurpation of 
the American Constitution that was unprecedented in the history of the 
American Republic. Had it occurred in a developing country, such a 
subversion of democratic process would have been greeted with knowing 
derision throughout the West. What happened in America could only be 
likened to a judicial coup d'etat inflicted upon the American People, 
Constitution, and Republic. There should now be no doubt that the United 
States Supreme Court is governed by raw, naked, brutal, power politics. 
Justice has nothing at all to do with it. This Supreme Court's 
constitutional sophistry proved a harbinger of the new administration's 
disrespect for the Rule of Law, whether domestic or 
international. 
 
BUSH JR.'S CONSTITUTIONAL COUP D'ETAT 
 
From the Supreme Court's installation of Bush Jr. as 
President to the Ashcroft/Federalist Society post-September 11 regime of 
police state "laws," the politico-legal functioning of America is 
increasingly resembling that of a Banana Republic. Since September 11th, 
we have seen one blow against the U.S. Constitution after another. For 
example, Attorney General John Ashcroft unilaterally instituted the 
monitoring of attorney-client communications despite the Fourth 
Amendment ban on unreasonable searches and seizures and the Sixth 
Amendment right to representation by Counsel in criminal cases. He just 
went ahead and did it, without even bothering to inform anyone. 
 
Over 1100 aliens have been picked up and "disappeared" 
by Ashcroft and his Department of Injustice. The American People have no 
idea where most of these people are. They are being held on the basis of 
immigration law, not criminal law, for a period of detention which has 
not been defined. 
 
Ashcroft proclaimed another ukaze that these 
immigration proceedings must be held in secret. The phenomenon of 
"enforced disappearances" is considered to be a crime against humanity 
by Article 7(I)(i) of the Rome Statute for the International Criminal 
Court. 
 
It appears that many of these aliens have been 
deprived of their basic human rights to consular notification and access 
as set forth in the 1963 Vienna Convention on Consular Relations, to 
which the United States is a contracting party and which even the U.S. 
State Department concedes constitutes binding customary international 
law. Apparently Bush Jr.'s left hand does not care about what his right 
hand does. Yet another international convention set at naught. 
 
The one characteristic these detained foreigners have 
in common is that they are mostly Muslims, Arabs, and Asians. Everyone 
needs a scapegoat for the 11 September tragedy, and it looks like we 
have one, both at home and abroad. Thousands more such aliens are being 
moved into the pipeline for the Ashcroft gulag by the FBI. 
 
Ashcroft is now planning to reinstate the infamous 
COINTELPRO Program, whose atrocities against the civil rights and civil 
liberties of the American People have been amply documented 
elsewhere. 
 
It is just a matter of time before the Bush Jr. 
Leaguers unleash the newly-augmented powers of the FBI, CIA and NSA 
directly against the American People. And we already have 2 million 
Americans rotting away in prison -- the highest rate of incarceration in 
the world, a disproportionate majority of whom are Americans of Color, 
victims of the Nixon/Ford, Reagan/Bush, and Clinton administrations' 
racist "war on drugs," which is really a war against People of Color. 
The American Police State has already arrived for People of 
Color! 
 
ASHCROFT'S POLICE STATE 
 
This brings the analysis to the Ashcroft Police State 
Act. There are no other words to describe it. While Bush failed to get a 
formal declaration of war that would have rendered him a constitutional 
dictator, clearly Attorney General John Ashcroft and his right-wing 
Federalist Society lawyers took every piece of regressive legislation 
off the shelf, tied it all into what they called an

  How Long Can China Now Stand In The Shadows?By Joseph 
  Ehrlich

  First: Update on the sniper(s). We note that nearly 
  two weeks into the terror, police are first checking into those with 
  sniper training. The experts are discounting international terrorism 
  because the number of deaths are contained, no massive strike for 
  large numbers of casualties, a believed signature of genuine 
  terrorism. This is because they are missing that the terrorism TO DATE 
  HAS BEEN A MESSAGE. Now, it may escalate. They also seemed pretty slow 
  in admitting to two sniper(s) preferring the psychotic scenario of one 
  very sick person committing the crime. Now, finally they realize it 
  has to be more than one. Moreover, once the message avenue is 
  accepted, then it also ties into the type of people who are willing to 
  shoot a child. Again, our initial perception was people paying America 
  back for the deaths of children due to US policies. We have had our 
  necks on the block on this matter since the first, and while slow, the 
  experts are now confirming a disciplined trained person, which was 
  obvious to us from the first. We continue to believe that the message 
  will be amplified, or the terrorism further expanded, if we see two 
  shootings within minutes in two different areas. Remember aside from 
  the chaos and economic impact, if it is was we say, and remember it 
  occurred literally hours after we expected it (formally for the first 
  time since 9-11), one other critical message is that the US is one 
  vulnerable country, inept, consistent the paper tiger image China 
  paints for the US throughout the world. This message will be 
  heightened should the two contemporary shootings take place, leaving 
  the federal and state authorities which major egg on their faces. If 
  we also are correct, these sniper(s) will not be taken alive, and may 
  take many with them. 
   
  We must also note that on the Sunday morning news 
  shows there was absolute no discussion at all whatsoever regarding 
  either the Bali terrorism and the Pakistani elections. Americans 
  should cry as much over the reality of a controlled media as with the 
  sniper(s), because such control in the long run will claim massive 
  lives. So much meaningless news on the sniper(s) spending millions 
  upon millions of man hours of production and audience on nothing 
  meaningful and failing to discuss the true implications thereof. As a 
  result, then speak about Bali and Pakistan two news stories carrying 
  incredible significance in the view of the congressional vote this 
  week. 
   
  Analysis: 
   
  On June 25, 2002, we wrote that President Bush in 
  his Rose Garden remarks on June 24, 2002, took the battle from Israel 
  and the PLO and made it one between the New World Order and Islam. We 
  wrote that Oslo united the Arab world against Israel, and now, from 
  his remarks, President Bush united the Islamic world against the 
  United States and the West. 
   
  Further, to make it crystal clear, President Bush 
  issued on September 20, 2002, the historical National Security 
  Strategy document, letting not only the Islamic world but the entire 
  world know that new US policy was to pursue any perceived enemy at any 
  time to undermine the enemy and colonize it to mold it into the New 
  World Order image for that previous sovereign state. 
   
  Moreover, we went deep into the interpretation to 
  show that Israel itself was a successful target of the New World Order 
  strategy and that with its controlled leadership and infiltrated 
  infrastructure, Israel followed New World Order directives, to set up 
  the Middle East region for New World Order domination and 
  control. 
   
  Saddam Hussein could have been one way or another 
  removed from office, but he was kept around for the day the New World 
  Order crew needed to capture Iraqi oil and establish a long term 
  residency in the Middle East. 
   
  The only dynamic we never would have seen or 
  interpreted and which truly surprises us, if not shocks us, is that 
  President Bush would so openly and brazenly let everyone know it, and 
  act as if he didn't care whether anyone internationally or 
  domestically knew now the

-Caveat Lector-



I am not very good at putting things over 
but because of the nature of what i have just seen on english TV Panorama I feel 
it is my duty to tell American families about this documentary on Paxil.called 
seroxat in england.
Glaxo Smith Kline are making billions on 
this so called wonder drug for depression and other mental problems it is called 
Paxil in the states and seroxat in england.
The documentary shown here in england 
tonight opened with a student elen kelsall studying for masters degree 
trying to come off the drug which she and many others like her were told this 
was not a dependency drug.WRONG to watch her was frightening. The side effects 
were one of dependency.
Then we were told about a man in America 
wyoming to be prescise who was a retired oil man who killed his wife daughter 
and grandchild and then committed suicide after having been on Paxil for only 
two days!! the court decided that this drug was the cause but glaxo smith kline 
are still advertising this drug in the american media.
Dr healey an independant psycologist was 
called in to give an unbiased view on seroxat/paxil for the court.GSK had 
files of clinical tests carried out on healthy patients who showed signs 
of suicidal tendencies and tendencies to do harm to others and themselves in 
files from original tests of the drughe was not allowed access to these 
files until 2 days before the court hearing when he finally got to the files 
they were mindboggling there were too many for him to cope with ...but he did 
manage it... god knows how.
This documentary showed many things too 
numerous to put in this email but the reason I am reiterating it to you is that 
Smith Klein Glaxo have had trials with children in the states for this drug and 
10 out of 75 children showed suicidal tendencies.
They are about to be given the go ahead 
to treat children and young adults with this drug.IF YOU ARE A PARENT DONT LET 
THEM PRESCRIBE YOUR CHILD WITH PAXIL IN THE STATES. England ruled that thay 
cannot in this country but the states said they could go ahead.
Like I said im not very good at putting 
things over in an email but if there is a transcript of this program i will get 
it for you to read.

What an excllent post this is I was thinking this same thing this morning in
bed lets get RID of the american zionist run government they are the biggest
terrorists of all maybe all the major troubles will cease and then we can
get down to wiping out the ruling elite and the powerbrokers... God the list
is endless isnt it. Seriously though The downfall of Hitler Bush and his
henchmen would be a very good start.
I would like to say remember what happened to Hitler but we all know he is
still alive and well dont weI Just hope if they get rid of Mr Bush then
they do the job properly and he is not whisked away to antartica or some
underground Bunker.
I actually think that Bush junior is probably expendable by daddy anyway Its
the father that is behind a lot of this trouble  Bush Junior is just a mind
controlled ...whisky swigging ... Prezel eating Patsy! Or was it a pretzel

 In Defense of Terrorism

 by Edgar J. Steele

 October 12, 2002

 This troubled planet is a place of the most violent contrasts.
 Those that receive the rewards are totally separate from those
 who shoulder the burdens.  It is not a wise leadership.
 --- Mr. Spock of  Star Trek (describing Ardana, where the rulers
  lived in luxury in a cloud city above miners working in misery.)

 That circumstances sometimes justify it...
 revolution is not a communist doctrine, but an old American belief.
  --- Justice Jackson, 1950

 Any people anywhere, being inclined and having the power, have the right
 to rise up
 and shake off the existing government and form a new one that suits them
 better.
 This is a most valuable and sacred right - a right we hope and believe to
 liberate the world.
  --- Abraham Lincoln, 1848

 Revolutionaries and their acts of terrorism are not always to be despised.

 America's first revolutionaries were terrorists, after all.

 Today, they would be arrested by Ashcroft's Homeland Defense stormtroopers
 and held without bail, without charges and without recourse to legal
 proceedings.  If Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz had his way, they
 would be tortured.

 Imagine George Washington's screams as Dershowitz slides those needles he
 favors under George's fingernails.

 Now, imagine that was your father in Washington's place.  Imagine your
 fury.  Imagine you have nothing.  Imagine the feds bulldozing your home
 after disposing of your father's body, crippling your mother and raping
 your sister in the process.  You run off, dedicating your life to revenge.
 Imagine.

 Now you begin to see something of what so many in Palestine feel today.
 Why children confront Israeli tanks and snipers with stones.  Why young
men
 and women strap on dynamite and walk onto Israeli buses, ready to die.
 They have so little left to live for.

 To our everlasting shame, America's Congress yesterday authorized Bush the
 Second to wage war against Iraq and then against whomever else he wishes.
 This, despite informal polls showing American public opinion running about
 a hundred to one against this ill-advised war.  Polls published in the
 controlled media, of course, show popular support for this aggression
 against a country that has done absolutely nothing to America or its
 legitimate interests.

 Osama bin Laden lashed out at the United States a year ago, saying that
 every single American would be held responsible for the acts of the
 American Government.  Most Americans laughed that off at the time.  Most
 today consider it an illogical proposition.

 After all, we don't hate Iraqis...it's that evil Saddam we're really
after.

 That's why we're about to kill so many innocent Iraqis, of course, just as
 we killed so many innocent Afghans before them, in fruitless pursuit of
bin
 Laden.  And so many innocent Serbs before them...and Somalis before
 them...and

 Bin Laden was right, you know.

 Even though most of us don't vote any more, we should be held accountable
 for what our erstwhile leaders do.  As between the average Iraqi and the
 average American, who is more culpable, really?  Who let them get where
 they are?  Who lets them stay there?

 That is the justification for actions against the general populace, and it
 has merit.  Who else has access to the heads of America's government?  How
 much pain will we sustain before we rise up and change our leadership?  We
 are about to find out, I suspect.

 And we deserve it.

 America defends its own acts of warfare, waged with cruise missiles and
 bombs, whereby so many civilians are slaughtered,  by saying they were
 unavoidable casualties, unfortunate byproducts of our pursuit of military
 targets.  As if those people somehow are less dead than all the WTC
victims.

 When cornered, anybody fights with whatever is available.  The Iraqis and
 the Palestinians are cornered.  Terrorism is not indefensible

do now?Run to daddie..I dont think so...He cant hide behind his body guards 
forever either.It will be a brave or foolish man who calls war with a price on 
his head!!!I rather think the latter would apply in this

Does he have a double like

printer 
friendly versionGraphic Alternative To The Official 
LieAn Interview With Jim MarrsBy Ericca Festehttp://www.conspiracycafe.comIn November of 2001 Jim 
Marrs author of the best selling novel 'Rule By Secrecy' , 'Alien Agenda' and 
'Crossfire' was stranded with the rest of us during an ice storm at the cafe. I 
was able to ask him several questions about current events and his new upcoming 
book 'Sisterhood of the Rose'.Jim; how's the new book coming along? 
What can you tell us about it?The new book, "Sisterhood of the Rose" 
is finished and now I am in the midst of the editing and revision process. With 
any luck it should be on the book shelves some time later next year. I think you 
will enjoy it. It concerns a group of women who form a secret society to win 
World War II for the Allies and it tells a lot of truth about the Nazis and 
their search for occult objects, Solomon's lost treasure and the Ark of the 
Covenant, the Cathars and Knights Templar and the truth behind the mystery of 
Rennes le Chateau in southern France.There have been so many 
discrepencies in the media about what's really going on in this 'War On Terror' 
what's your take?
My take is pretty well 
spelled out in my article "War on Terrorism: Fact or Fiction?" It can be found 
on my website, JimMarrs.com. If you only take into account the mainstream news 
accounts since Sept. 11, the view looks one way. But, ifone takes the 
larger historical view, one finds many similarities between our current "war" 
and past conflicts. For example, just consider:In 1898, the US 
Battleship Maine blew up in Havana Harbor killing 260 persons and igniting the 
Spanish-American War. The American government blamedthe explosionon 
the Spanish, but they LIED.In 1915, the US government sought to galvanize 
the public into war by blaming the sinking of the liner Lusitania solely on 
Germany but they LIED.In 1941, The US Government was most successful in 
stampeding a reluctant American public into World War II by claiming mit had no 
prior knowledge of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, but they LIED.In 
1964, President Lyndon Johnson was granted war-making powers by a Congress 
angered over a reported attack on the U.S. Sixth Fleet in the Gulf of Tonkin off 
the coast of Vietnam. The report was a LIE.In 1991, Saddam Hussein was 
proclaimed the "new Hitler" by President George Bush, who claimed Hussein's 
movement into Kuwait was unexpected. He LIED as it later turned out that the 
American Ambassador, acting on orders, had given Saddam a green light for this 
action.There are too many troubling aspects of the Sept. 11 attack --- the 
fact that the bin Laden family and the Bush family have so many business and 
social connections being one of them --- to take this provocation at face value. 
In recent article 
distributed by the Associated Press (http://www.freedomforum.org/templates/document.asp?documentID=15394 ) Larry Flynt of 
'Hustler' magazine is sueing the 
US Military because they are not permitting his journalists to cover the war in 
Afghanistan. Now with all issues of taste, smut etc.. aside how can they bar the 
media from covering a war?The Vietnam War ended 
because of growing public opposition in the United States, based primarily on 
the nightly news reports from the battle zone. While many reporters simply took 
official handouts in the Saigon hotels, many more actually moved with the troops 
and recorded the day to day operations. The result was quite sobering to the 
public. In the Gulf War, the military saw to it that few reporters ventured 
beyond the official briefing tent. Today, in Afghanistan there is virtually no 
independent reporting. The only difference between Larry Flynt and CNN, NBC, CBS 
and ABC is that Flynt is raising hell over the military's suppression of the 
news, while the others have rolled over and played dead. But then, one must 
understand that the people who control US foreign policy are the same people who 
own the major news corporations.
If our government was to fully utilize the talents of our nations Remote 
Viewers - what impact do you think it 
wouldhaveonthewar?Here again is a good 
example of the government keeping secrets from the public. I know of at least 
three competent remote viewers who have mentioned remote-controlled aircraft in 
connection with the Sept. 11 attacks. Perhaps this is why the government 
officially has denied using remote viewing and has denigrated its usefulness. If 
private citizens could band together to learn and practice RV, there could be a 
whole new avenue opened to bypass government deceit.
Any thoughts on what the 'second wave' of terrorism will 
be?I don't even wish to 
think about it because the next round will be biological (anthrax or smallpox) 
or nuclear (the proverbial suitcase bomb, some 27 of which are missing from the 
Russian inventory). Ironically, I believe such attacks will only be made if the 
current "war" with its

Dont you get this feeling that 
this sniper attacking Maryland and surrounding areas is a little 
surreal.
We havent had a lot of news on it 
here but from what I gather the reason they say they have not captured this man 
is because he uses a high velocity long range gun.
Surely this is a nonsense! These 
sort of guns hav been used before in assasinations and mass shootings and they 
have always caught the perpertrator even though we know the person captured is 
either mind controlled or innocent.
Why is this so 
different?
We were treated to a duo report 
today one on what is happening out there and i could feel the fear of the 
people,and two a piece on sniper clubs and their popularity out 
there.
Which leads us to question is 
this a test in fear and reaction of the public to such a crime thereby whipping 
up an anti gun feeling so as to stop this popular sniper club 
following?
When We had this shooting in 
dunblaine in Scotland there was no discussion with gun clubs they just went 
ahead and banned handguns which further fuelled the black market for more 
business.If someone wants a gun badly enough they will find it in my opinion and 
this knee jerk reaction of the british government has to be seen as an outright 
intimidation of people rights.
An unarmed public is a public at 
the mercy of the power brokers.We cannot defend ourselves in a crisis and that I 
believe is the key to this.
The British people put up and 
shut up but the american citizens who have held guns for years to protect 
themselves may not give in so easily. So is this sniper situation being 
theatrically staged to bring fear to America and a way of forcing the people to 
vote guns out.
After all what are a few dead 
people in comparison to 9/11! 
If they can do this to thousands 
of their own people in 9/11 then this is just fun in a candy 
shop!

-Caveat Lector-



 17:23 2002-07-01
CHINA HAS A DEADLY NEW 
WEAPONChina has created more problems for the 
United States. To be more precise, China has created another weapon for 
Washington to be afraid of. The other day, Chinas air force held a successful 
test of a new air-to-air missile code named AA 12 Adder. On the whole, 
the situation is quite ordinary, as many countries hold such tests. The USA 
itself is actively working on a National Missile Defense system, irrespective of 
other countries interests. However, the USA explains its anxiety the following 
way: Washington thinks that the fact that China has modern missiles can break 
the balance between continental China and Taiwan. Before the test, US 
special services could not say for certain whether or not China had missiles of 
this kind or not. It is to be added here that the missiles tested by Chinas air 
force are Russian-made, supplied together with SU-30 fighters. As of now, 
according to the contract, 80 fighters have already been supplied to the Chinese 
air force. As a response, the Pentagon wants to supply missiles similar 
to the AA-12 Adder to Taiwan. This may entail Chinas accusation of the US 
interference in internal affairs. There is no way out for Washington, as it is a 
guarantor of Taiwans security. Therefore, China and the USA have 
another reason for disputes. At the same time, it would not be correct to say 
that new missile tests by the Chinese air force may result in a sudden chill in 
bipartite relations. Beijing and Washington really appreciate their economic 
relations, and they will no wage a small cold war because of missile tests.

Pentagon to Test New Toys on Iraq 
The United States is developing new weapons, 
violating its international obligationsAmericas coming military 
campaign against Iraq definitely has the goal gaining possession of Iraqi oil. 
There are other objectives as well. America needs to test its new weapons. The 
military and technological advantage of the United States needs to continue to 
grow. Iraq will be the best testing ground. Americas defense department is 
doing its best to invent more lethal toys that will bring as much good as 
possible during another war in the Gulf. The Pentagon is conducting 
secret research to develop and test new kinds of non-lethal chemical weapons. 
This was reported by Jan van Aken, the head of Germany-based Sunshine 
Project. According to Mr. Aken, it is not ruled out that the new weapons 
might be used for the first time in Baghdad. Van Aken pointed out that 
the new weapons will not kill the enemy, but it will cause soldiers to fall 
asleep. However, there is the possibility of these substances killing human 
beings or disabling them. A special division of the non-lethal weapon 
administration of the US Defense Ministry deals with the development of the new 
chemical weapons. Sunshine Project believes that the USA 
deliberately violates the International Convention for Prohibition of Chemical 
Weapons. Another serious infringement of the US is the way that these weapons 
will be used. The chemical is supposed to be packed in mines. All the projects 
connected with the development of the new weapons are top secret. The Pentagon 
realizes that this is a serious violation of American international obligations. 
Another priority weapon in Iraq is allegedly called "Excalibur." This is 
another kind of a smart weapon that is controlled via a Global Positioning 
System. The error margin of such shells is no more than ten meters. The current 
error margin is 300 meters. Therefore, it will take only three of these shells 
to demolish a bridge, whereas it would take 150 of the old shells used to 
accomplish the same. The Excalibur's range is more than 50 kilometers. 
Military units can use this shell from behind mountains or other natural 
obstacles. Excalibur is currently being developed. These new shells will be 
added to the US military's arsenal in 2006. The only drawback of the new shell 
is its price. One shell will reportedly cost up to $25 thousand. The 
American defense department also wishes to accelerate the development of a 
launcher that for the multiple launch of guided missiles. This launcher with a 
range of 50 kilometers will be installed on an armored caterpillar-type vehicle. 
The price is a constraining factor. This project has already gone beyond the 
scope of the budget. The US Defense Department is also spending much 
money on nanotechnology research (atomic-level technologies). More than $200 
million were assigned for such research in 2003 ($180 in 2002, $123 in 2001, and 
$70 in 2000). For the time being, nanotechnologies are used by the US Navy. 
There are currently various directions of this research. Nanoelectronics deals 
with the reduction of size and weight of electronic devices. Nanomaterial 
technology develops materials of unique capacities. There is also 
bionanotechnology: combining the capacities of a living cell and those of an 
artificial device. Egor Belous PRAVDA.Ru Translated by

[CTRL] Ian Huntley

2002-10-08 Thread Mermaid
-Caveat Lector-




There has been much talk by Joe Vials as 
to the possible frame up of Maxine Carr and Ian Huntley.Today He appeared in 
court for a judge to decide whether or not he was able to face charges in court. 
The psychiatrists report said he was not mentally unstable and they have now 
decided he can appear in court in November with Maxine Carr.
The strange thing is the guy was 
described as being hunchbacked in court head down shaking all the time he was 
standing in the dock and the only thing he moved was his eyebrows up and 
down.
Does this sound like the Ian Huntley who 
appeared on TV a couple of months ago?
My guess is he has been mind controlled 
by drugs and beatings at Rampton.
He is now in Prison and not going back to 
Rampton.
I still cannot get my head around this 
case.No reports on the cause of death of these two girls and yet they were 
buried for gods sake how many people are allowed to be buried without a cause of 
death in these circumstances!
The whole thing stinks of a frame 
up.

  THE PERPLEXING PUZZLE OF THE PUBLISHED 
  PASSENGER LISTSby Gary North Maybe you like puzzles. I hope so. 
  I don't like them. I regard them as a challenge, not a game. I 
  avoid them because, when I cannot find a solution, my mind won't stop 
  working on them. Then I get very frustrated. So, Iavoid 
  magic shows, crossword puzzles, and similar brain- 
  twisters. Yet I am also a historian with a 
  Ph.D. Historians are trained to solve puzzles with insufficient 
  pieces. Historians never have all of the evidence that they would like in 
  order to come up with a coherent explanation of what happened. They 
  always want another piece in the puzzle before they go into print. 
  (Of course, once they go into print, they will tend to reject any newly 
  discovered piece that messes up their version of the completed 
  puzzle.) At some point, they are supposed to come to a 
  conclusion. They are supposed to make a judgment about what 
  happened. I am presently stuck. So, 
  I am sending out this report. Maybe there is someone my list who can 
  get me unstuck. Years ago, I saw a movie, 
  "My Cousin Vinnie." Vinnie was studying to be a lawyer. He 
  wasn't a good classroom student, but he had a unique ability. He 
  could figure out how things fit together. Show him a magic trick, 
  and hecould tell you how the magician did it. Tell him a story 
  with a missing link, and he could identify where the missing link was, and 
  maybe what it was. He could solve 
  puzzles. I am trying to locate 
  Vinnie. This puzzle is no game. The 
  United States has gone to war on the basis of one solution to this 
  puzzle. We have not yet been told what this solution 
  is. The puzzle begins with the crash 
  of four airliners. We must work our way backward from 
  this. To do this, I decided to begin with 
  official information that was published 16 days after the attack. To 
  work my way backwards, I first leaped forward.ALLEGED 
  HIJACKERS On September 27, the Associated 
  Press released a story about the hijackers. The version that I read, 
  published in the ATLANTA JOURNAL-CONSTITUTION, referred to these men as 
  alleged hijackers. I shall do the 
  same. I located this article by using www.daypop.com. Daypop is the most 
  complete archive of recent news stories on the Web. Daypop allows 
  you to search for stories that are up to four weeks 
  old. I searched for "passenger list" and 
  "hijackers." Daypop produced three pages of links -- not that many. 
  Almost all of these links were to the same AP story, which was published 
  by numerous on-line news sources. Here isthe version I 
  used.http://www.accessatlanta.com/ajc/terrorism/nation/0927hijackerlist.html 
  The headline reads: "FBI releases updated list of alleged 
  hijackers." Above the headline is a link that says, "Click here to 
  see 19 suspected hijackers." I clicked it. A large box popped 
  up. It took a while for the photos to appear. There are 19 
  photos, along with names. The names appear to be Middle Eastern -- 
  Arabs. Most of the men look like Arabs, although a few might pass as 
  Mexicans. Only one of them looked vaguely like a 
  European. They are divided into four 
  lists, according to which flight they are said to have boarded. 
  There were five men on American Airlines Flight 77, five on AA Flight 11, 
  five on United Airlines Flight 175, and four on UA Flight 93 -- the flight 
  that crashed in Pennsylvania. Let's return 
  to the AP story itself. We read the 
  following: As Attorney General John 
  Ashcroft launched a "national neighborhood watch" with the release of the 
  photos, FBI Director Robert Mueller acknowledged that questions remained 
  about whether an accompanying list contained the true names of the 
  19. "What we are currently doing is 
  determining whether, when these individuals came to the United States, 
  these were their real names or they changed their names for use with false 
  identification in the United States," Mueller 
  said. The FBI director said there was 
  evidence that one or more of the hijackers had had contacts with al-Qaida, 
  the network associated with Osama bin Laden, the exiled Saudi millionaire 
  who is the Bush administration's top suspect in the 
  attacks. This story indicates that, as of

Sniper
Oct. 8, 
2002--Contents:1. The Part 
Buchanan Left Out2. Hoffman's Take on the D.C. 
Sniper-The Part Buchanan Left 
OutKnight of Malta Pat Buchanan serves up some intriguing quotes from 
Zionists Norman Podhoretz and Michael Ledeen in his Oct. 7 column, "On to 
Baghdad - and beyond," but Pat doesn't do much with them, other than repeat a 
version of his old "Amen Corner" lament. This doesn't surprise me because 
Buchanan is as co-opted and double-minded as most any other Establishment media 
celebrity. On his MSNBC cable chat show two Fridays back, Mr. Buchanan 
disapproved of any obstacle to the canonization of a homosexual priest who died 
at the World Trade Center on 9/11. Buchanan said the priest's "orientation" 
should not bar him from being made a saint. Buchanan would never have pronounced 
such a grotesquerie even five years ago. But in 2002 he's content to countenance 
a Catholic patron saint of homos, and this in the midst of an escalating scandal 
over pederastic priests. Here's a revealing quote Buchanan dug up from 
Zionist Michael Ledeen's book, "War Against the Terror Masters." Ledeen 
writes:"Creative destruction is our middle name, both within our society 
and abroad. We tear down the old order every day, from business to science, 
literature, art, architecture and cinema to politics and the law. Our enemies 
have always hated this whirlwind of energy and creativity, which menaces their 
traditions (whatever they may be) and shames them for their inability to keep 
pace...We must destroy them to advance our historic mission."This 
statement from Ledeen, a leader of the American neo-conservative movement, 
offers a revealing glimpse into the psyche of the anarchist-revolutionaries 
whose roots go back to the Lower East Side of New York City and the ghettos of 
eastern Europe, and who today are heading the conservative campaign "for our 
American heritage" (as fabricated and repackaged by these energetic whirlwinds 
of "creative destruction"). But Mr. Buchanan fails to point out the 
obvious--that there is a glaring exception to Ledeen's admonition about the need 
for relentless change. His vision of tearing down the old order refers to the 
ancient Islamic and Christian orders, not the Judaic. The Talmud's poisonous 
base, the oral "tradition of the elders," predates Mohammed and is old enough to 
have bedeviled Christ (who condemned it in Mark 7 and Matthew 15). Orthodox 
Judaism continues to build the antique Talmudic order in Palestine, New York, 
Los Angeles, London, Antwerp and Washington, D.C. and many mega-capitalists 
regard its pathways as hallowed, its traditions as sacrosanct. They proffer wads 
of corporate, buccaneer cash to keep Judaism's ancient literature and law 
forever preserved as an impregnable society and culture. Ledeen has no 
intention of including the Judaic old order in his modern American wrecking 
agenda. All other heritages are ordained to fall under the progressive footsteps 
of Hollywood, Pepsi, porn and, if need be, the bombs of the US Air Force (as we 
saw in Kosovo, where the American military and NATO targeted centuries-old 
Serbian churches and monasteries, even on Good Friday and Easter Sunday). Former 
Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu, the darling of American "values" 
conservatives such as William Bennett, recently advocated broadcasting softcore 
cable TV porn into Islamic nations, to weaken them. In "The Israeli Holocaust 
Against the Palestinians," Moshe Lieberman and this writer cite accounts of the 
Israeli Army broadcasting pornography into Arab homes last spring after Zionist 
troops seized a Palestinian television station.Buchanan knows at least 
some of this, but will not give these facts voice, because, while it is open 
season on Mohammed "the terrorist" and Islam "the wicked religion," so-called 
conservatives dare not refer to the religion of the Talmud as wicked or expose 
it for what it is. How, pray tell, might Pat Buchanan give voice to a balancing 
corrective about Judaism, when he continues to laud in his writings the spurious 
"Judeo-Christian tradition," referring repeatedly to the need to save "our 
Judeo-Christian heritage." As I show in my book "Judaism's Strange Gods," this 
"Judeo" ideology (i.e. Judaism) was institutionalized only after the crucifixion 
of Christ and the destruction of the Temple, when the majority of Israel chose 
the perverted innovation that was rabbinic Phariseeism over the Messiah of

Saturday, 5 October 2002, 3:29 p.m.In Response To: Re: Israeli Commandos 
in Western Iraq (JanL)http://www.rumormillnews.net/cgi-bin/config.pl?read=23807The 
idea that Israel would stage a "provocation incident" cannot be soeasily 
dismissed as "rubbish".The Israeli military intelligence has carried out 
many such instances in thepast although the New York Times does not always 
report them as such.Zionist history is full of terror, bombings, and 
massacres, many of whichwere meant as provocation for some strategic 
advantage. There is evidencethat some of the bombings in Israel were such 
staged events. The car bomb inJerusalem which later became a "suicide 
bomber" may have been one of these.The attack on the USS Liberty in 
which 34 Americans died in 1967 was onesuch event, the intention was to 
create hostility between Egypt and the USAby attacking a defenseless U.S. 
Navy vessel in neutral waters.The Israeli prior knowledge of the bombing 
of the Marine barracks in Beirutand the prior knowledge of the WTC attacks 
(e.g. Odigo instant messageswarning of the 911 attacks which arrived in Tel 
Aviv hours before thebuildings were bombed) are others. Israeli prior 
knowledge of the attacks onthe WTC is certain."Little Drummer Girl" 
by John LeCarre is all about Mossad faked-bombings inGermany for 
political/strategic advantage.Benjamin Netanyzhu, the author of "The War 
on Terror: How the West Can Win"(1986) and Ariel Sharon play that kind of 
game. It is wishful thinking todeny that they would carry out a provocative 
incident in order to"kick-start" the war against Iraq that they so 
desperately want.To unsubscribe from

GO TO SLEEP, CHILDRENThu Oct 3 
20:54:49 2002206.243.39.181Since the end of 
WWII, and the implementation ofProject Paperclip in which thousands of Nazi 
scientists,propagandists, doctors and intelligence officers weresmuggled 
into this country with the help of the Vatican'sCIA, our nation has gone 
downhill morally andspiritually. Freedom is an illusion. Totalitarian 
Control iscovert, but becoming more overt by the week and themedia is 
more manipulated now than at any time in history. The NationalSecurity 
State uses the media to pass false information to cover up itstracks, 
and real news rarely gets told the way it is. At best, it is spun 
anddistorted so that it bears little resemblance to the truth or to 
anythingremotely real. Important and vital information is left out 
entirely such asthe ongoing smuggling of drugs by the CIA or the 
secretive doings of theCouncil on Foreign Relations and the Bilderberg 
cabal. And the majorityof people have been so brainwashed by this 
system, that they canscarcely detect a lie, or the absence of truth, 
even when it is blatantlyobvious to those who are still able to question 
and maintain a healthyskepticism. In the case of 
911, the media has been used to create what Admiral Lemnitzerdescribed 
in Operation Northwoods as "a helpful wave of indignation",to put it 
mildly. Atta's passport flying out of the WTC crash to land on the 
street, Islamic"religious articles" discovered in the Pentagon, Korans 
and flightmanuals found in rental cars, evil box-cutter-wielding 
highjackers,heroic cell-phone calls to loved ones, the WTC towers 
collapsing fromplane crashes they were designed to withstand... 
And please ignore the 8 mile debris path of Flight 93, ignore the 
completelack of interceptors (except for flight 93 of course) on that 
Day of Infamy,ignore the expert maneuvers of the planes flown by guys 
that could barelyfly single engine prop jobs, ignore the fact that the 
Pentagon planned asimilar Operation in 1962, ignore the fact that Bush 
stated clearly on twooccasions that he had witnessed the crash of Flight 
11 "on television",ignore his executive order W199-I and the fact that 
Daddy Bush and theBin Ladin family benefit financially from a War on 
Humanity. Ignore alsothe Enabling...sorry..."Patriot" Act that strips 
the Constitution of the 4thand Fifth Amendments and for the New World 
Order's sake, pleaseignore the fact that at least one of the bin Ladin 
videos was a completefake, was withheld from the public for four weeks 
after its "discovery" bythe Pentagon, then released to the masses of 
true believers for theircontinued mental dupery. And don't forget, Mr 
Bush and President...er Imean, VICE-President Cheney have ordered 
Congress to refrain frominvestigating the events of 911. 
So go to sleep children, go to sleep, big Mommy Federal 
Governmentand Her complicit media shills will make sure you don't have 
to thinkabout any of this. Just listen to the stories from "official 
sources" and get tosleep. After all, it happened such a long time ago. 
And now we are at warwith the Evil Ones, so we have to forget about the 
past and go to sleep! NORTHSTAR

Buzz Aldrin Strikes a Blow 
  for Elitism by William 
  A. Shields 
  

  


  NOTE: Originally published at EtherZone.com 
  If you walk on the moon, then according to California prosecutors, 
  you are truly above the law. Case in point - Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin 
  punches a man in the face, the act caught on videotape, and prosecutors in 
  the Los Angeles County District Attorney's office blame the victim and 
  refuse to prosecute the batterer. Mr. Aldrin, the only person to 
  have ever resided in New Jersey and visited the surface of the moon 
  without the use of any mind altering pharmaceuticals will not be 
  prosecuted for assault and battery, even though he clearly punched a man 
  in the face who had asked him a question about his moon-walking. 
  Bart Winfield Sibrel, who made TV documentaries and films claiming 
  the Apollo 11 moon landing on July 20, 1969 was a hoax, videotaped the 
  assault by Aldrin. He submitted the tape to Beverly Hills police and asked 
  that charges be filed against Aldrin. No one is claiming that Mr. Sibrel's 
  videotape (unlike NASA's) is anything other then an authentic depiction of 
  actual events. Here's what the elitist L.A. prosecutors had to say 
  about the two parties involved in this crime. The Criminal: (Buzz 
  Aldrin) He has no previous criminal record. He left no visible injury on 
  his victim. He's a "space hero." The Victim: (Bart Sibrel) He 
  aggressively poked Aldrin with a Bible. He lured Aldrin to a meeting under 
  false pretenses so he could interview the "space hero." He followed Aldrin 
  with a Bible and called him a thief, liar and a coward. After being 
  punched in the face he asked of his camera crew, "Did you get that?" He 
  failed to seek any medical attention. The prosecutors, by refusing 
  to prosecute and refusing to let a judge or jury decide the facts of this 
  case, are doing the thinking for us, or they are trying to. They want us 
  to put our brains on the shelf and adopt their conclusions about the two 
  parties and by extension, their theories and agendas. My question is, 
  "What are they afraid of?" My experience tells me that whenever someone 
  asks you to suspend your intellect, they are preparing to pick your pocket 
  or they are protecting a larceny already committed. Here's what 
  they want you to believe: Buzz Aldrin is a hero who should be allowed to 
  walk among us without so much as a transitory moment of mild aggravation 
  caused by questions from dubious journalists with a bent toward 
  conspiratorial paranoia. Mr. Sibrel is not a credible or legitimate 
  journalist and his theories are so objectionable that whenever he speaks, 
  he should be summarily punched in his grill. Should he have the temerity 
  to seek criminal justice after such an episode, he will be laughed out of 
  court regardless of any evidence of an actual crime. ASSAULT 
  WITH A DEAD SEA WEAPON And what about that Bible? It seems 
  that the prosecutors were salivating furiously with desire to place a 
  weapon in Mr. Sibrel's hand, but alas, all that was there was a Bible. Not 
  deterred, they simply made the Bible a weapon. "He followed Aldrin with a 
  Bible and aggressively poked him with it." If this is true, why wasn't Mr. 
  Sibrel charged with a crime? Elitism is alive and well in the 
  halls of California justice and throughout the nation. There is justice 
  for the rich and connected, and there is justice for the very rich and the 
  well connected. The rest of us can expect a big slice of knuckle pie from 
  the same evil bastards that brought us Waco, Ruby Ridge, and the Warren 
  Report. Perhaps it's time we took a closer look at Buzz Aldrin's 
  moonwalk. He's acting like a man with something to hide, and he seems to 
  be getting help from a government with much more at stake.

The Carlyle Group 
  by Victor Thorn 
  
  

  


  A few weeks ago, James Baker publicly offered advice to 
  the Bush Administration on how they should proceed with their war on Iraq. 
  What he and every newscaster or commentator failed to mention was that 
  Baker is now employed by the highly-influential Carlyle Group, which is 
  the eleventh largest defense contractor in the United States. In essence, 
  then, we have a man trying to influence public policy while privately 
  employed by a company that has a vested interest in activating Americas 
  War Machine. If youre not familiar with them, the Carlyle Group 
  has become a powerhouse in affecting the direction in which our foreign 
  policy takes, especially in regard to war. They accomplish this by hiring 
  former government officials, then investing in private companies that are 
  subject to government change (i.e. the military and telecommunications). 
  Who, you may ask, do they employ to secure their government contracts? 
  Well, check-out this list for starters: Frank Carlucci  
  Department of Health, Education and Welfare - 1970s 
  Deputy 
  Director, CIA  1978-81 
  Deputy 
  Secretary of Defense  1981-82 
  National 
  Security Director  1987-89 George Bush - CIA Director  
  1976-77 
  Vice 
  President of the United States  1981-89 
  President 
  of the United States  1989-93 James Baker - Chief of Staff  
  1981-85 
  Secretary 
  of the Treasury  1985-89 
  Secretary 
  of State  1989-93 Dick Darman - Former White House Budget 
  Chief William Kennard - Former Head, FCC Arthur 
  Levitt - Former Head, SEC John Major - Former Prime 
  Minister, Britain Fidel Ramos - Former Philippine President 
  Afsaneh Beschloss - Treasurer  Chief Investment Officer of 
  the World Bank Anand Panyarachum  Former President, Thailand 
  Karl Otto Pohl - Former President, Bundesbank Louis 
  Vuitton - French Aerobus Company Park Tae Joon - Former 
  South Korean Prime Minister Alwaleed Sin Talal bin Abdulaziz 
  Alsaud  Saudi Arabian Prince George Soros - New World 
  Order/Bilderberg luminary  intl financier Fred Malek - 
  George Bush Srs campaign manager There is also one other family 
  that invested in the Carlyle Group, but Ill keep that as a surprise for 
  next weeks article. In the meantime, take a look at that list. Its like 
  walking onto a baseball field and having the New York Yankees behind you. 
  The best team money can buy! And I didnt even mention all of the players. 
  Carlyle also employs the former chairman of BMW and Nestle, is 
  interviewing former Clinton cabinet members (to insure that they have both 
  sides of the aisle covered), plus once hired Colin Powell and AOL 
  Time-Warner Chairman Steve Case to speak at a meeting at Washington D.C.s 
  Monarch House. Plus, if we look at James Baker again, well find that hes 
  on the board of Azerbaijan International Oil Company, in which two U.S. 
  oil companies hold 40% of the shares. Who are these two companies? The 
  first is Amoco, who has on their payroll none other than Zbigniew 
  Brzezinski (Trilateral Commission founder, National Security Advisor for 
  the Carter Administration, Globalist supreme, and David Rockefellers 
  puppet on a string). The second is Pennzoil, who has on their payroll 
  Brent Scowcroft, former National Security Advisor under George Bush, Sr. 
  But the man that really brought it all together is Frank Carlucci, 
  who holds directorships on such companies as General Dynamics, 
  Westinghouse, the Rand Corporation, and Ashland Oil, plus sits on the 
  board of directors of twelve other companies. Carlucci was also the 
  college classmate of someone very closely related to our current 
  administrations War Machine  Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld! What 
  relevance does this association have you may wonder? I think it is of 
  great importance, for in February, 2001, Carlucci and Vice President Dick 
  Cheney met with Donald Rumsfeld when the Carlyle Group had several 
  billion-dollar defense projects under consideration. (If you havent 
  guessed, the Carlyle Group fared quite well when all was said and done.) 
  Do you still think these ties dont matter? Philip Agee, in his book On 
  the Run details all of Carluccis CIA connections, many of whom he hired 
  (along with his Pentagon cronies) when he joined Carlyle in 1989. (And all 
  of us know what influence the CIA has, dont we?) A former Carlyle 
  employee honed-in on these dynamics when he

Five Killed In Washington Suburb 
Shootings10-3-2WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Five people were killed in an 
apparently randomseries of shootings over several hours in a Washington 
suburb, police saidon Thursday.Police spokeswoman Nancy Nickerson 
said one woman and four men were killedin six separate shooting incidents 
that began at 5:20 p.m. EDT on Wednesday.The latest one was at 10 a.m. EDT 
on Thursday in Montgomery County,Maryland, which is north of 
Washington.Victims were killed in a 10-mile radius and police said they 
appeared to berandomly selected in busy public places.The first 
victim, who died on Wednesday, was a 55-year-old man shot in asupermarket 
parking lot. On Thursday a man mowing grass near a shopping mallwas killed. 
A taxi driver was killed while pumping gasoline, a woman wasshot sitting on 
a park bench outside a post office, and another victim wasshot at second 
gasoline station.The shootings began before the first murder, with a gun 
being fired througha store-front window, police said. No one was 
killed.Montgomery Police Chief Charles Moose said there was no obvious 
motive forthe killings, though they were believed to be linked."We 
strongly feel that all of these are connected. Certainly the weaponryseems 
very similar. There is not a lot of indication at this time that anyof these 
individuals know each other," Moose told reporters.Police were looking 
for a white delivery truck with black or purplelettering seen leaving the 
scene of one of the shootings. At least two whitetrucks were pulled over, 
with witnesses seeing two men in handcuffs on theside of the highway headed 
toward the Baltimore-Washington airport.Children at schools in the 
county were told they could not leave and outsideactivities were halted, 
officials said. Afternoon kindergarten classes werealso been 
canceled.Montgomery County is one of the richest counties in the United 
States,though several of the shootings occurred in less affluent 
sections.

  of the Lebanese territories and that the Lebanese Hizbullah party 
  opened its anti- aircraft missiles against them.Lebanon explained 
  that Israeli planes broke the sound barrier over the Lebanese capital

  warplanes flew over north Lebanon and the western Bekaa where the Syrian

  South Lebanon was the heaviest since Israel's pullout from this area in 
  May 2000 following 22 years of occupation

GREAT FALLS, Montana (AP) -- Montana's Libertarian candidate for Senate has turned 
blue from drinking a silver solution that he believed would protect him from 
disease. 
Stan Jones,a 63-year-old business consultant and part-time college 
instructor, said he started taking colloidal silver in 1999 for fear that Y2K 
disruptions might lead to a shortage of antibiotics. 
He made his own concoction by electrically charging a couple of silver wires 
in a glass of water. 
His skin began turning blue-gray a year ago. 
"People ask me if it's permanent and if I'm dead," he said. "I tell them I'm 
practicing for Halloween." 
He does not take the supplement any longer, but the skin condition, called 
argyria, is permanent. The condition is generally not serious. 
Colloidal silver dietary supplements are marketed widely as an anti-bacterial 
agent or immune-system booster, but some consider it quackery. 
Jones is one of three candidates seeking to unseat Democratic Sen. Max Baucus 
in November. The others are Republican state Sen. Mike Taylor and Green Party 
candidate Bob Kelleher.

The information on Project monarch would

America, its peoplesilent, subservient, no voice, no 
will

  
By Ken HillmanOnline 
Journal Contributing Writer

  


  
September 26, 2002Watching America today, I can 
hardly believe what I see. I see a nation, a society and its people, 
that appear to be in a state of paralysis. In the past 18 months 
this nation has been completely transformed. This current, totally 
misguided administration has turned our nation a full 180 degrees in 
the wrong direction and is running roughshod over the entire 
worldthe American people have watched all this happen and have 
reacted with complete silence, subservience and submissiveness. No 
great concern, no voice, no will.
In this critical, dangerous challenge to the future of 
our great country and the entire world, Americans should be totally 
outraged by what they see and hear. Yet America passively watches 
while our new-style unilateralist, belligerent government cancels 
important treaties such as the ABM, walks away from global warming; 
we watch as environmental controls are rescinded to let corporate 
polluters make greater profits as they poison our air and water. 
Where is the outrage, where is our voice?
Corporate criminals are running looseEnron, Anderson, 
WorldCom, many others. Millions of Americans have lost most of their 
401Ks' value, their stocks have crashed, and in many cases their 
savings are gone. Many thousands of employees in many companies are 
being dismissed at the same time that the unconscionable CEOs are 
pocketing multi-millions of unearned dollars. We are in an economic 
crisis, a rapid downward spiral. This administration has given huge 
tax relief to the wealthy, has squandered a gigantic surplus and is 
in the process of creating huge deficits. And it now wants war, 
badly!
And how is the typical American reacting? With total 
outrage and disgust, screaming that enough is enough and "we aren't 
going to take it anymore?" Absolutely not. There is not even a 
whimper, not even a sigh coming from Americans. No, we Americans are 
now so completely conditioned that we understand that we must stay 
completely silent. We have been told that we better not speak out; 
if we do, we will be considered traitors. We should remember Patrick 
Henry who said "Give me liberty or give me death."
Has the 9/11 tragedy caused this complete silence and 
acceptance of the most outrageous and irresponsible directions by 
any government in the entire history of our nation? Maybe, and maybe 
not. I am not able, so far, to figure it out. Nor do I read any 
great analyses by writers, including those with psychology 
backgrounds, who might be able to explain this phenomenon.
Speaking of 9/11, we Americans are passively watching 
this administration beat the drums of war against Iraq and Saddam, 
the acknowledged dictator. But when we hear that 15 of the 19 WTC 
terrorists were Saudi Arabians, and we also know that the Saudis 
have been the biggest contributors to Osama bin Laden and his 
terrorists, do we even start to wonder what the hell is going on? Do 
we simply accept the fact that about 10 members of the Saudi bin 
Laden family left America on a chartered jet soon after the WTC, 
that flight hastily initiated and allowed by our current 
administration?
I repeat, I cannot believe what is happening in 
America, especially what I hear or do not hear. Actually, I hear

[CTRL] soliders commit suicide..Mind Control?

this is an article from Guardian 
unlimited written in June this year 4 soldiers have commited suicide in army 
baracks and the body of collinson is being exhumed today with the consent of his 
parents they do not believe their son committed suicide, I hope they get to the 
bottom of this.In my mind it smacks of mind control.
And what about your busdriver in the 
states?We did not get much news on this here in england.It is the second one to 
occur over there is this mind control as well?
Delta Programming known as killer 
programming has been used to train special agents and elite soldiers in covert 
operations. Subjects are devoid of fear and very systematic in carrying out 
their assignments.Self destructor suicide instructions are layered in at 
this level.
The Mermaid x
Key evidence on deaths of soldiers 
destroyed Nick 
Hopkins, crime correspondentFriday July 26, 2002The Guardian Crucial evidence at the heart of 
reinvestigation into the mysterious deaths of two soldiers at an army barracks 
in Surrey has been destroyed, the Guardian has learned. 
Surrey police's inquiry into the shootings of privates Geoff Gray and James 
Collinson has been severely hampered because clothes and documents relating to 
rifles have not been kept by the army. 
In the case of Pte Gray, 17, detectives were particularly keen to re-examine 
the gloves he was wearing on the night he died, as well as other items of his 
kit. But police have been told all these possessions have been destroyed. 
Relatives of the two soldiers have challenged the army's assertion that the 
two teenagers committed suicide when they were based at the Queen Elizabeth 
barracks, headquarters of the Royal Logistics Corps at Deepcut, Surrey. Pte Gray 
died in September last year and Pte Collinson in March this year. 
The relatives have demanded a public inquiry and they are bound to be 
dismayed by the latest developments. 
Concern about the circumstances of the deaths, which were originally 
investigated by the army's special investigation branch, led Surrey police to 
launch its own inquiry involving 30 officers. 
Since then, the force has also agreed to reinvestigate the deaths of two 
other soldiers, privates Sean Benton, 20, and Cheryl James, 18, who died at the 
Deepcut base within six months of each other in 1995. 
Earlier this month, the Commons defence committee declared it intended to 
launch its own inquiry into all four deaths once detectives had completed their 
work. 
Loss of evidence in the cases of Pte Gray and Pte Collinson has frustrated 
police efforts. A senior army officer has told the inquiry that all Pte Gray's 
clothes had been destroyed. Log books recording serial numbers of the SA-80 
rifles he and Pte Collinson were as signed on the days they died were also 
destroyed within hours of the shootings. 
This means Surrey police cannot corroborate whether the weapons that were 
found by their bodies were their own, or were assigned to other soldiers at the 
base. 
Detectives also discovered that the rifle found alongside the body of Pte 
Gray had been earmarked for destruction and was only retained by chance. 
Campaigners, including MPs, have found Pte Gray's death particularly 
perplexing. He was shot twice - the bullet wounds were above each eye. 
His body was found 50 minutes after shots were fired at a spot near a 
perimeter fence that had already been searched four times. 
The army has consistently played down fears that Pte Gray and the other 
soldiers were victims of crime and said suicide rates within the armed forces 
are no higher than in civilian life. 
However, the Ministry of Defence has been stung by a string of recent 
allegations regarding bullying at the barracks. 
Yesterday a former soldier, Trevor Hunter, 27, claimed Pte Benton suffered 
vicious verbal attacks and humiliating abuse that may have led him to commit 
suicide. He was found with five bullet wounds to his chest in June 1995. 
Mr Hunter said Pte Benton was beaten up in his quarters and was thrown out of 
his second storey bedroom window. He claimed one sergeant took a particular 
dislike to him. 
"This sergeant would pull him out in front of everyone and push him around. 
He would brag about the bullying. Sean was a genuinely good bloke, and I would 
say he had the makings of a good career in the army, but unfortunately certain 
people at that time didn't like him." 
Surrey police refused to comment about developments in the investigation. 
"This is an ongoing inquiry and it would be inappropriate," said a spokeswoman.

Building 450 Golden Gate, San Francisco, CAWe, citizens of the United 
States, declare a national emergency in uncovering what reallyhappened on 
9/11/2001 through an immediate call for an independent 
collaborativeinvestigation worldwide. Unanswered questions, stonewalling and 
unsettling evidencesuggest a government plan to allow these horrific attacks 
to happen.Current overt and covert US war plans and ever-increasing 
military and intelligence budgetsare part a massive power grab which does 
not provide US citizens or the world any realsecurity, particularly if and 
when terror is planned or allowed to happen from within ourgovernment. The 
Patriot Act, passed by a frightened Congress who did not read the 300+page 
document the day it was presented and passed, is just one resulting curtailment 
of ourcivil liberties sold to us in the name of security. It is crucial 
that we act immediately.Teachers, students, firemen, lawyers, family 
members of victims, investigative reporters,media, researchers and anyone 
interested in discovering the truth behind the events of,leading up to and 
following the attacks of 9/11/2001, we need your participation.Do not 
expect mainstream media to educate you on 9/11. The congressional independent 
investigation and publichearings currently being held are limited in scope. 
The outcome of these hearings will likely be intelligence failureand a 
subsequent request for more funding. The Peoples Investigation of 9/11 will 
have no central leadership, only acentralized online repository of research 
information. A non-partisan ad-hoc committee is being formed now 
tofacilitate this collaboration of global research efforts.If 
interested in participating, send an e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or call 
415.956.8330.Please attend the press conference. Current 9/11 research 
can be found at http://www.cooperativeresearch.org .Unanswered questions 
regarding the attacks can be found at http://www.unansweredquestions.org .Break the cycle of fear,

Greetings from Boston, Mr. Bush By William Rivers Pitt t r u t h o u t | Perspective 
Tuesday, 1 October, 2002 
It is one of the great sins of ego in writing to address 
readers in the first person. Better to keep the remoteness of the 
third-person, better to be simply a deliverer of information. Best to 
not inject yourself into the conversation the reader is having with the 
facts. 
This time, however, the matter is personal. 
Two years ago, on October 3rd, 2000 George W. Bush came to my 
home town of Boston for the first Presidential debate of the campaign 
with Al Gore. The memory is still very fresh in my mind. I was only a 
few weeks into my first year of teaching; the process was still managing 
me, instead of the other way around. I had not yet begun to hear the 
worried voice in my head, the one that whispered, "Bush might actually 
win in November, yes, he might, he could do it." By the end of October, 
that whisper had become a banshee scream. But on October 3rd, I was more 
concerned with lesson plans than intestinal polling data. 
There is no simpler way to put it: All hell has broken loose in 
the two years since Bush visited Boston on that night in October. The 
democratic ethic of American elections was torn to pieces in Florida, 
and by a Supreme Court that should never have gotten involved in the 
first place. A President was installed who lost an election but won a 
lawsuit. Upon arrival, he proceeded to fill the ranks of government with 
a rogues gallery of extremists and slick corporate CEOs: 

  - Religious fundamentalist John Ashcroft became Attorney 
  General after losing an election to a dead man; 
  - Neo-conservative hawk Don Rumsfeld became Secretary of 
  Defense, backed by appallingly dangerous men like Paul Wolfowitz and 
  Richard Perle; 
  - Harvey Pitt became chairman of the SEC, institutionalizing 
  the idea that conflicts of interest do not matter and that foxes are 
  perfectly trustworthy when given a key to the henhouse; 
  - Former Enron vice president Thomas White was made Secretary 
  of the Army, and when the Enron scandal exploded, we were told he knew 
  nothing of it, he does not in fact know much about anything, his 
  staffers call him 'Mr. Magoo' behind his back, and isn't that a 
  heartwarming thought when one considers the control he has over our 
  armed forces. Mr. Magoo is riding herd over the army during the War on 
  Terror. I doubt that will be on the GOP campaign literature in 2004. 
  
A trillion dollar tax cut was fobbed off on the American people 
as a boon to the common man, looting a budget surplus that turned out to 
be made up of smoke and mirrors - the surplus numbers had been based to 
a great degree on expected tax revenues from profitable super-companies 
like Enron and WorldCom. When their false profit reports came to light, 
the sudden realization that Bush tax cut had bitten through a negligible 
surplus and into the guts of the budget sent a shockwave through the 
economy. 
Someone needed to take George aside and explain the dangers of 
not looking before you leap. Circular firing squads are bad for 
business. Evidence suggests this conversation never took place. 
In the innocent months before September 11th, the Bush 
administration rolled back environmental protections, safety regulations 
for workers, and laughed in the faces of campaign finance reformers. 
Only the sudden defection of Senator James Jeffords kept Bush from 
having de facto control over every single branch of the Federal 
government. Vice President Cheney sat behind closed, locked doors to 
craft a domestic energy policy with the robber barons of the corporate 
world. Many, or all, of these men knew full well why California had sat 
dark and spoiling for months under disrupted, overpriced power grids. 
When Enron was shamed, the substance of these meetings and the energy 
plans it spawned were buried by moonlight, and Dick Cheney has since 
spent a great deal of his own personal energy avoiding subpoenas on the 
matter from the General Accounting Office and Judicial Watch. 
Then, on a bright September morning, the mettle of the man was 
sorely tested, and found wanting. 
Before the smoke had cleared in Washington and New York, the

30, 2002Univ. of Michigan to Host 'Zionism is Racism' ConferenceBy 
MICHAEL FREUNDThe University of Michigan at Ann Arbor is slated to 
play host to a national student conference late next week, one of whose "guiding 
principles" is that it "condemns the racism and discrimination inherent in 
Zionism", the Jerusalem Post has learned. The Second National Student 
Conference on the Palestine Solidarity Movement, which is scheduled to begin on 
October 12, is being sponsored by pro-Palestinian and socialist groups. It aims 
to promote an end to US aid to Israel and to encourage divestment by 
universities and corporations from the Jewish state. In the conference's 
promotional material, organizers refer to "apartheid Israel", and refuse to 
condemn Palestinian terrorism, stating, "As a solidarity movement, it is not our 
place to dictate the strategies or tactics adopted by the Palestinian people in 
their struggle for liberation." In addition to asserting that "racism" 
is "inherent to Zionism", the organizers call for "the right of return and 
repatriation for all Palestinian refugees" as well as "an end to the Israeli 
system of Apartheid and discrimination." Panelists at the conference 
include Dr. Sami Al-Arian, a former Professor at the University of South Florida 
who was fired after reports surfaced linking him to Middle Eastern terrorist 
groups such as Al-Qaeda and Islamic Jihad. A similar conference on 
divestment, held earlier this year at Berkeley, caused an uproar among American 
academics, leading Harvard President Lawrence Summers to criticize the 
divestment scheme as "anti-Semitic." In a statement issued last week, 
University of Michigan President Mary Coleman appeared to distance the school 
from the conference, stating, "The agenda of the conference represents the views 
of the organizers and not the University of Michigan." She added that the 
university had no intention of divesting from Israel. "I do not support this 
divestment," she said, adding, "As a matter of University policy, we do not 
believe political interests should govern our investment 
decisions."

DAILY UNSPEAKABLE BRUTALITY AND 
DEATH 
NABLUS UNDER TOTAL 
SIEGE 
"Two and a half weeks ago, the commander of the Paratroops 
 
battalion in the city told Ha'aretz: 'We will not be able to 
 
maintain the curfew indefinitely. We must not 'Hezbollize' the 
 
population. We don't want suicide to become the only source 
 
of livelihood in the city ... It's impossible to keep the residents 
 
cooped up forever." Since then two and a half weeks have 
 
gone by and the IDF is proving that it is in fact possible to 
 
lock up an entire city indefinitely." MID-EAST REALITIES - MER - www.MiddleEast.Org - Washington - 
9/30/2002: The Americans and the Israelis continue to conspire 
in still growing ways to control the Middle East region. They are doing so 
through a combination of covert means (CIA, NSA and Mossad), military means 
(special forces and Pentagon operations), as well as economic manipulation and 
of course Arab "client regimes"...most especially those in Saudi Arabia, Egypt, 
Jordan, and the lesser Arab sheikdoms of Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, UAE, 
Oman. Then of course there are the still growing and very important 
alliances with Turkey and with India. They are also doing so 
through still growing propaganda as well as disinformation campaigns, including 
such big leaks/lies as that perpetrated on and by CBS's 60 Minutes Program last 
Sunday evening. Indeed, political and media manipulation, such as the 
jerking around of Arafat and entourage then presented to the world as a US/Good 
Cop versus Israeli/Bad Cop production, is all really an added part of the 
subterfuge and 
pretext. 
EVERYDAY 
OCCURRENCES 
By Amira Hass Ha'aretz - Wednesday, September 25, 
2002: Last Thursday morning, two huge bulldozers dug into the 
earth energetically, as they have been doing in recent months, in a wadi north 
of Ramallah. Over the past two years, with the gradual closure to Palestinian 
traffic of all the roads in the West Bank, this wadi has become a central and 
important juncture crossed on foot nearly every day by hundreds or thousands of 
people on their way to and from Ramallah from the nearby villages and from the 
Jalazun refugee camp. Taxis drop them off on one side of the wadi and they climb 
down among the boulders and dirt up to the other side, where different taxis 
await them. This, of course, is when soldiers are not posted there with their 
weapons, gas grenades, and stun grenades, who stop people from passing. 
Last Thursday, passage was prevented by a police jeep and a military 
van. There weren't many people anyway because of the curfew on Ramallah (even 
before the renewal of the siege of the Muqata and its demolition). An ambulance 
traveling along the road that cuts across the wadi - and is forbidden to 
Palestinians - was stopped near the police jeep and examined. An elderly 
woman stepped out of the ambulance and, with the support of a young woman, began 
to climb on the rocks of the northern slope, stopping to rest now and then on a 
boulder. At the top of the northern slope of the wadi, a car arrived and a man 
and a woman in their 30s got out. Both of them were doctors, who had been called 
urgently to the village of Sinjal (about 10 kilometers north of Ramallah). At 
night it had been totally impossible for them to get out, and a long, hard trip 
awaited them, which began with bypassing the police jeep and evading the 
policemen's eyes and rifles. All along the bulldozers were at work: A 
fence all along the road will prevent passage through the wadi and gradually 
complete the isolation of the Ramallah enclave, which has already been blocked 
to the south by a fence. On Monday afternoon, intelligence warnings led 
to the blocking of all the routes to Palestinian neighborhoods in northern 
Jerusalem. A curfew was imposed on the village of Bir Naballah. At a large 
kindergarten in the village, with about 250 children aged three to five, 
teachers decided to hurry up and drive the kids to the A-Ram/Beit Hanina 
crossing point, home to their worried parents in East Jerusalem. There is no 
knowing how long the curfew will last and it is hard to keep so many small 
children in field conditions. The kindergarten teachers hoped they would be able 
to persuade the Border Police to let the children through, but instead the 
police began to throw tear gas and stun grenades at them - from a distance of 
only a few meters, according to one staff member. Some of the policemen held 
large dogs quite close to the children, which added to the huge panic. (The 
response of the Israel Defense Forces Spokesman did not reach Ha'aretz by press 
time). These two everyday scenes have long ceased to be news items, if 
they ever were. This is not only because of the terror attacks in Tel Aviv and 
Hebron, and not because of the nine people killed in the Israel Defense Forces 
attack yesterday in Gaza. They are not newsworthy in Israel because they are 
everyday occurrences. They are not "news"

A NEW KIND OF LEADERSHIP FOR PALESTINE 
 
The Intifada's most popular leader gives 
 
Kathimerini his first interview since being 
 
arrested by the Israeli authorities last April 
 
By Petros Papaconstantinou - KathimeriniIf the Palestinian Intifada 
could be encapsulated in one person, there is no doubt that would be Marwan 
Bargouti. The 43-year-old member of Al Fatah from the West Bank gained the 
esteem of his compatriots by playing a leading role in the Palestinians' 
uprising against the Israeli occupying forces. He shared the danger and the pain 
at the front line of the bloody fighting in Ramallah and managed to earn the 
respect of all Palestinian organizations, from the more moderate Muslims to the 
Marxist Left.He is generally seen as uncorrupted and uncompromising in 
his stance regarding Israelis and Americans. He speaks both English and Hebrew 
and is considered one of the most likely successors to Yasser Arafat.Our 
first interview with Bargouti took place in Ramallah two years ago, just a few 
weeks after the beginning of the second Intifada, during a demonstration that 
developed into an armed conflict between Palestinian fighters and Israeli 
troops.This time we were not able to talk to him face to face. 
Imprisoned by the Israelis since April 15, Bargouti found a way to reply to our 
questions from within the Hedarim prison in Tel Aviv, in the first interview he 
has given to the international media since his 
arrest. PHOTO: Marwan Bargouti 
(center) listens to his lawyer (left) during his 
 first appearance in an Israeli court. 'The 
desire for freedom and independence  is 
stronger than any armed force, as evidenced by the failure of Sharon's 
 fascist government to quell the uprising and 
to provide security to the Israeli  
occupation,' he said. You have been in an Israeli jail for the past six 
months. Tell us about the conditions of your imprisonment.I was abducted 
from the city of Ramallah, a city under Palestinian control, on April 15, 2002, 
during the Israeli siege of the occupied West Bank. The Israeli occupation 
forces were about to demolish the building and the home in which I was staying, 
and I emerged just moments before helicopters and tanks fired shells and rockets 
into the building. I was handcuffed and taken to an interrogation center in 
Jerusalem, then to another center in Tel Aviv, and finally to a third military 
center in northern Israel.For nearly 100 days I was subjected to severe 
and brutal interrogation. I was tortured using the "Shebai" method; my arms were 
tied behind my back to my chair and I was forced to stay that way for several 
days. I was deprived of sleep for several consecutive weeks. In addition, I was 
routinely subjected to insults and other humiliations as well as psychological 
and physical pressure. These methods are used against hundreds if not thousands 
of Palestinian prisoners.There are now approximately 8,000 Palestinian 
political prisoners in Israeli prisons who endure harsh and difficult 
conditions.A few weeks ago I was transferred to the Hedarim prison north 
of Tel Aviv and I occupy a cell with one other prisoner. All the prisoners here 
are denied visits from their families.To date I have been prevented from 
seeing my mother, wife and four children. At my last court appearance on 
September 5, 2002, three of my children managed to attend. Despite their cries, 
they were forbidden from getting near me and I was denied the ability to even 
embrace them.The Israeli government accuses you of being responsible for 
suicide attacks and other alleged terrorist actions against civilians. What's 
your reply?All the Israeli accusations against me are totally fabricated 
and I refuse to dignify them by dealing with them. In many ways, I feel sorry 
for the state of Israel - the Middle East's "only democracy" - stooping to 
fabricating charges in a show trial aimed not at truth and justice but rather to 
appease the Israeli masses who refuse to see any connection between their own 
brutal policies and the violence we are now experiencing.Like President 
Arafat, I have become a scapegoat, my trial simply a public relations event by a 
corrupt and visionless Israeli leadership desperate to cover up its own 
inadequacies. Those who should be on trial are the criminals of occupation who 
have perpetrated massacres against the men, women and children of Palestine over 
decades, who continue to violate UN resolutions and the fourth Geneva Convention 
with impunity. In the face of international abandonment, the Palestinian people, 
like all people whose rights have been trampled on while living under the armed 
occupation of a foreign country, have a right to resist.Before September 
2001, you were known to Western public opinion as a supporter of the Oslo 
agreements and the peaceful resolution of the Israeli- Palestinian conflict. But

 A New World Order From Nothing But Skull and Bones?
 Skull and Bones in Bush's Foreign Policy Closet
 By Paolo Pontoniere

 Amidst the debate over the impending US-led war against Iraq, some
European media, mostly in Italy and Germany, took note of the publication of
Secrets of The Tomb: Skull and Bones, The Ivy League and The Hidden Paths of
Power.

 In the Little Brown book, author Alexandra Robbins discusses the
connections between America's wealthiest families, secret fraternities and
the role of Ivy League institutions in the genesis of United States foreign
policy. For some European analysts, Skull and Bones explains much of the
mystery surrounding how power is apportioned in the US by describing a
well-established system of nepotism and co-optation among members of this
fraternity. They fear that the unwieldy influence that secret lobbies--such
as those described in Skull and Bones--have on the American administration
may interfere with President Bush's ability to decide freely what action to
take. They also believe that Bush's belonging to such a secret fraternity
may explain the nihilistic overtones of his foreign policy and his strong
drive toward waging war against Iraq because of the gothic character of the
fraternity.

 Europeans have noted that not only the current US president is a Bonesman,
but that also his former-president father and his grandfather, senator
Prescott Bush, are members. In the Bush family, connection to the Tomb--the
name of the Yale building where the fraternity meets--also involves three
uncles of the current president and two of his cousins. A couple of Bonesmen
came up with the money to launch President Bush's career in business when he
founded the oil company Arbusto; another Bonesman provided the capital for
Bush to acquire a stake in the Texas Rangers; and another member of the
fraternity that bolstered Bush's 2000 presidential campaign by paying for
advertising billboards at a million dollars a piece. One of President Bush's
first actions when he entered the White House was to organize a dinner with
the members of his fraternity.

 What worries Europeans most about the Bonesmen is the suspicion that the
organization may have a neo-Nazi tendency or that it may be animated by
anti-Semitic sentiments. According to various reports about the activities
of the Bonesmen throughout the years, it appears that many prominent
members, in particular those linked to the Union Bank in New York and its
sister bank in Holland at the beginning of WWII, were financing Hitler
throughout the war and as late as 1945. Italians and Germans alike have a
long history of secret associations meddling in the internal affairs of
their countries.

 This fact makes European analysts tend to distrust both politicians that
can be linked to such groups and secretive associations that have links to
political parties or single politicians. In the case of the Skull and Bones,
Italian and German media have reported that such ties between the secret
organization and politicians could be understood as a multigenerational
secret society with a global reach and a finger in many different pies. They
describe the Skull and Bones' influence as resulting in a sort of oligarchic
government that includes some of the most influential American families such
as the Bushes, the Harrimans, the Tafts, the Whitneys, and the Rockefellers.

 Skull and Bones was founded in 1832 by William Russell, the heir to
Russell and Company, at that time one of the world's most prominent opium
traders. According to author Robbins, Russell befriended the leader of a
secret society during a year of study in Germany. Returning to the US,
Russell sought to re-create in the US the spirit of exclusivity that he had
encountered with the German secret society, whose main goal was the
establishment of a strong government of the kind that would mold every
individual to the obedience of the state.

 In the rarefied atmosphere of Yale University, Russell found a receptive
environment for his dream, enrolling the help of Alphonso Taft, future US
secretary of war and father of President William Howard Taft. The society
they founded was called the Brotherhood of Death, or more informally, the
Order of Skull and Bones. Later the order would include among its

[CTRL] were the moon landings a fake/ Guardian

Were the Lunar Landings 
  Faked? from Guardian 
  Unlimited 
  

  


  This week Buzz Aldrin, 72, punched a man who suggested 
  that the missions to the moon were a hoax. But does anyone still believe 
  that old chestnut? Yes indeed, finds Stuart Jeffries. In 1968, the 
  film director Stanley Kubrick was secretly approached by NASA officials. 
  They asked him to direct the first three moon landings from a special set. 
  As a result, Kubrick worked for 16 months at a specially-built sound stage 
  in Huntsville, Alabama, creating footage of the Apollo 11 and 12 missions. 
  In July 1969, a Saturn V rocket with Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and 
  Michael Collins on board was launched into a low orbit and remained there 
  while Kubrick's footage was released to the media. The three men made a 
  perfect splash down in the Pacific after millions of television viewers 
  had been captivated by the so-called moon landing. Months afterwards, he 
  filmed the Apollo 12 mission in the same way. This, at least, is 
  the theory of an American called Great North Wind, writing at 
  www.galactic-guide.com, and you have to admit it makes a great deal of 
  sense. After all, as many moon landing hoax theorists point out, NASA had 
  to do something. American pride had been twice humbled - by Yuri Gagarin 
  in space and by Charlie Cong in Nam. That said; there are holes in 
  Great North Wind's theory. He continues: "Kubrick refused to direct the 
  Apollo 13 mission, however, because NASA officials rejected his screenplay 
  in which the Apollo 13 mission fails. Ironically, NASA later decided to 
  use the failed-mission scenario, for which Randall Cunningham - a little 
  known but highly respected British director - was recruited to direct. 
  Extensive research has found that Cunningham is not a highly respected 
  British director, but an occasionally brilliant former quarterback for the 
  Baltimore Ravens. Mr. (or possibly Ms) Wind is possibly hoaxing us with 
  his moon landing hoax. But we may never know the truth: Kubrick is now 
  dead, which makes it hard to check, and Great North Wind has not replied 
  to my e-mails. You may think Wind's theory is a little 
  far-fetched, but if you are so clever, how do you explain the fact that 
  O.J. Simpson was framed for murder by the U.S. government? If you accept 
  the account set out at www.straightdope.com, it was because Simpson helped 
  to expose the lie that Armstrong and Aldrin landed on the moon. How did he 
  do that? By appearing in Peter Hyams' 1978 film Capricorn One. In that 
  picture, Simpson, along with Sam Waterston and James Brolin, plays an 
  astronaut forced to stage the first manned mission to Mars in a desert. 
  But the men decide not to play ball and go on the run, pursued by 
  government hit-men. But if this film was an embarrassment to the U.S. 
  government, why did it wait until 1995 to frame Simpson for murder? And 
  why didn't Waterston, Hyams and Brolin get framed too? The people at 
  Straight Dope haven't returned my calls. This many-tentacled 
  conspiracy becomes a topical issue now that alleged Apollo 11 astronaut 
  Buzz Aldrin has thumped a man who claimed that his moon landing was 
  actually filmed in the Nevada desert. This man, one Bart Sibrel, has made 
  documentaries called A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Moon and 
  Conspiracy Theory: Did We Land on the Moon? He confronted Aldrin, 72, in 
  a Beverly Hills hotel earlier this week. Sibrel, 37, demanded that Aldrin 
  swear on a Bible that he had really landed on the moon. Aldrin declined to 
  do so, and then his fist really landed on Sibrel's face. Sibrel 
  claims to have uncovered 33-year-old footage that shows the Apollo 11 crew 
  falsifying part of their photography (which at least might get Kubrick off 
  the hook). He claims that the Apollo 11 crew put a transparency of the 
  Earth in front of their space-capsule window and then taped the 
  transparency as they made a "journey" to the moon. "Surrounding 
  the Earth, beginning at an altitude of 1,000 miles and extending an 
  additional 25,000 miles, lies lethal bands of radiation called the Van 
  Allen radiation belts," Sibrel tells me. "Recently uncovered footage of 
  the crew of the Apollo 11 staging part of their mission proves that the 
  astronauts never made it beyond Earth orbit." But the hoax didn't 
  end there. Footage purportedly from the moon shows the U.S. flag 
  fluttering in the lunar breeze. "How could there be a breeze when there is 
  no atmosphere?" Sibrel asks. Sibrel is one of many who believe the moon 
  remains untouched by human space-boots. Ralph Rene, author of
