Twain- Don't get all upset. Global warming is a fraud. It was decided to make it up in 'The Report From Iron Mountain' in 1962... That, and the 'fake alien menace' scenario Read this: ``` OZONE DEPLETION AND GLOBAL WARMING by Harry Mobley Simple science: Oxygen == O2 When ultraviolet rays from the sun hit oxygen, the two molecules that make up oxygen break apart and immediately clump back into a group of three. Ozone == O3 Ozone is a pale blue gas. The sky is blue we can't see the stars. Every day when the sun comes up, Ozone begins forming, and continues all day until the sun goes down. When the sunlight fades, the ozone dissipates, and we can once again see the stars. There has always been an ozone hole over one of the poles. It is created at whichever pole is experiencing winter. This happens because the sunlight at the pole is most indirect at that time of year. To make an ozone generator: Place an ultraviolet light and a fish tank air pump into a box and plug them in. Poke two holes, on opposite sides of the box. Through one pull the air pump intake tube, through the other, the output tube. Now oxygen goes into one tube and ozone comes out the other. Leave it on for a couple of days and it will purify the air in your house. Hospitals use these for sterilization and elimination of odors. Global warming was created by a group of DUPONT'S scientists to get Diflourodichloromethane (r-12 freon) made illegal. Their patent's time limit, 30 years, on freon was set to expire, and they wanted to eliminate the possibility of competition for it's manufacture. Without the proper certification, it became illegal to possess r-12 freon after July 1st, 1993. At this time, 5/26/2003, a 30 pound can of RECLAIMED r-12 (virgin r-12 is no longer available) costs about $1500 U.S. WHOLESALE. Most of that is Federal tax. Prior to 1993, a 30 lb can was about $24-27.00 wholesale. Retail, a 12 oz. can was 87 cents. Last I heard there were over 18,000 scientists worldwide who claim that global warming is a fraud. Of course, no one in the controlled media will talk to them. ___ harry - Original Message - From: Millennium Twain Date: 08/06/04 03:26:21 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dry/Ice: Global Warming Revealed by Drunvalo Melchizedek July 19, 2004 What you are about to read is going to change your world forever, this I can promise you. I actually apologize that I have to be the one who brings this unsettling news, but you must know if you wish to survive, for what is coming will either be DRY and heat or ICE and freezing. Global warming has been in the news for over 40 years, and by this time we have become complacent. Our scientists have come to the agreement that global warming will eventually cause major changes and problems in the world, but in their way of thinking it will be 50 to 100 years before we will actually have to deal with the effects. The general idea is that global warming will be slow and the world will find time to discover the solutions to the problems. New powerful evidence strongly suggests that this scenario is simply wrong, and we had better prepare for another more abrupt possibility.

[CTRL] WHEN DOCTORS TORTURE
-Caveat Lector- WHEN DOCTORS GET INVOLVED IN TORTURE http://content.nejm.org/cgi/content/full/351/5/415 ROBERT JAY LIFTON, NEW ENGLAND JOURNAL OF MEDICINE - There is increasing evidence that U.S. doctors, nurses, and medics have been complicit in torture and other illegal procedures in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Guantanamo Bay. . . We know that medical personnel have failed to report to higher authorities wounds that were clearly caused by torture and that they have neglected to take steps to interrupt this torture. In addition, they have turned over prisoners' medical records to interrogators who could use them to exploit the prisoners' weaknesses or vulnerabilities. We have not yet learned the extent of medical involvement in delaying and possibly falsifying the death certificates of prisoners who have been killed by torturers. . . The doctors brought a medical component to what I call an atrocity-producing situation one so structured, psychologically and militarily, that ordinary people can readily engage in atrocities. Even without directly participating in the abuse, doctors may have become socialized to an environment of torture and by virtue of their medical authority helped sustain it. In studying various forms of medical abuse, I have found that the participation of doctors can confer an aura of legitimacy and can even create an illusion of therapy and healing. The Nazis provided the most extreme example of doctors' becoming socialized to atrocity. In addition to cruel medical experiments, many Nazi doctors, as part of military units, were directly involved in killing. To reach that point, they underwent a sequence of socialization: first to the medical profession, always a self-protective guild; then to the military, where they adapted to the requirements of command; and finally to camps such as Auschwitz, where adaptation included assuming leadership roles in the existing death factory. The great majority of these doctors were ordinary people who had killed no one before joining murderous Nazi institutions. They were corruptible and certainly responsible for what they did, but they became murderers mainly in atrocity-producing settings www.ctrl.org DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

Cmdr. Sean Kelly, a spokesman for the Pentagons Northern Command, known as NORTHCOM, based in Colorado Springs, Colo.Kelly confirmed that there is a psyops, or psychological warfare operations, unit at NORTHCOM but said its work is designed to influence and deter foreign enemies from attacking the United States.NORTHCOM was created after the 9/11 attacks to direct military operations, including intelligence analysis, air defense and support for civilian first responders, inside the United States. It shares the militarys counterterrorism mission with the Pentagons Pacific Command, Central Command and Strategic Command.The possibility of a propaganda program run out of the militarys domestic headquarters surfaced with a phrase in an online employment ad.An advertisement for an influence operations specialist with a Top Secret security clearance for the U.S. Air Force appeared on the Web sites of military contractors several weeks ago.The position would coordinate [Air Force] inputs to NORAD-NORTHCOM influence operations, according to the ad. It defined those operations to include PSYOPS themes and messages for use in foreign countries, public affairs themes and messages, as well as deception plans.The same position and job description is included in Air Force contracting documents.At first, NORTHCOM refused to discuss the existence of any such operations.Its illegal to do psyops in the United States, and we dont talk about it, was all NORTHCOMs Kelly would say when asked to confirm or deny that his center was involved in psychological operations. He asked to see copies of the Air Force documents.NORTHCOM officials waited several days before commenting further. Eventually, they said that the details of the job description by the Air Force relating to NORTHCOM were erroneous.Psyops is an operational issue, and I cant discuss that, Kelly said at first. Asked later if NORTHCOMs psyops center coordinated with its public affairs office, he said, Trust me, theres nobody from psyops here in my office.We may say the similar thing you know, The sky is blue but we dont coordinate with each other, he added. Psyops doesnt come in here and say, What are you saying today? Later, however, Kelly seemed to indicate there was a modicum of coordination between the two offices.Theres coordination where they might say, Hey guys, were doing this, and if its illegal itll be stopped, the spokesman said. Later, he reiterated that there was no coordination between the two, and then said that that was actually a general rule, and that here at NORTHCOM, there shouldnt be any exception to the general rule.Regarding the job description, Kelly said that there is no division called influence operations at NORTHCOM, and that, as he put it, in this case, influence is probably the wrong word.U.S. Army RoleOne section of the Air Force job description said the influence operations specialist was to coordinate with the Armys 4th Psychological Operations Group (POG), as well as with NORTHCOM public affairs, deception planners and other agencies.Kelly said that language was only a laundry list of possible contacts the position might involve and meant only to prevent a future employee from balking and saying, Thats not in my job description.They threw out thats a laundry

I also depend ENTIRELY ON reading my own INTERNET NEWS that I find by non-television Internet websites. Proof of UNreported Bush Scandals by The Media CorpSE vs how the media jumps all over Democratic problems: They are all over DEMOCRATIC Sandy Berger, non-stop, 24/7, with lame source info: "he stuffed info into his socks and pants (and we're not talking pant pockets), etc". Remember ALL the "Monica 24/7" coverage? Any country could have dropped an atomic bomb on The United States back then, and Monica would still get top billing. But when is the last time the major media channels went IN-DEPTH about ANY of these news Bush-Gates? 1) Novak-Gate: It is going on a year now, with little or NO COVERAGE. I suggest The Media CorpSE check out in FindLaw's Cases Codes Section. Look at Title 50, Chapter 15, Subchapter IV, Section 421 of The United States Code. That Section only deals with the "protection of CIA Agents", so their cover does not get blown by jerks like Novak. Sure sounds like Novak, The White House and the media corpSE could give a damn about that law. Does Congress remember that THEY passed these laws? Ask yourself HOW FAST would the media and The Republican Congress be all over Clinton IF HIS White House Administration DID THIS to GET BACK AT O'Reilly, Coulter, Limbaugh or Hannity and they had a wife or husband working as a Covert CIA Agent? Yet the media yawns and Novak is still employed by CNN and newspapers to this very day!! Laws On The Books Against People Like Novak 2) FBI-Ashcroft-Gate: Sibel Edmonds worked as translator for FBI. She uncovered The FBI's plan to "get more workers" at The FBI after 9/11, by making the people work slowly. You heard me right!!! If you were a conscience worker who did your translation as fast as possible to help get the bastards who bombed us with civil aircraft, your translations would get deleted by your boss. Your boss would then tell you the next day: "Let that be a lesson to you". Translated, take long coffee and lunch breaks and "translation work be damn". Edmonds also told Congress about The FBI's very poor and sloppy background checks for new workers. New translators got into the FBI who were members of "the other side". There are words for this, and it is known as ENEMIES doing ESPIONAGE. She complained to Senators Leahy and Grassley, who had the information about Sibel on their computers and papers in their offices. Both Senators are on the committee, which oversees The FBI. When Sibel got fired from the FBI for complaining, she took The FBI to court. Ashcroft re-classified all the documents that Leahy and Grassley had as Classified Material and the information was promptly removed from their computers and offices. Ashcroft has just had the case thrown out by a Republican Judge, and all the documents are still classified. This is known, for you in the media corpSE, as a COVER-UP!! The 9/11 Commission Report only has Sibel Edmonds in their report in footnote number 25. Check out all stories and interviews regarding this and start covering the real news. Do a Google search on "Sibel Edmonds" and look at all your hits. Then go to any Major Newspaper website around the country and do the same search of the newspaper's website. Likewise, go to the so-called News Media corpSE and check out how many stories they have on "Sibel Edmonds".

By Ben Duncan in Washington DC Saturday 07 August 2004, 10:57 Makka Time, 7:57 GMT For many proponents of the invasion of Iraq, President George Bush's doctrine of pre-emptive war continues to be a visionary symbol of American strength and conviction in fighting what the US calls war on terrorism. As Vice President Dick Cheney said in a recent campaign speech in East Lansing, Michigan, We will engage the enemy, facing him today with our military in Afghanistan and Iraq, so we do not have to face him with armies of firefighters, police, and medical personnel on the streets of our own cities. Critics of the war, however, say the rationale for such action has been shattered by the failure to find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and the conclusion reached by the 9/11 commission that there was no collaborative relationship between Saddam Hussein and al-Qaida. Some say the pre-emptive doctrine met an early death in Iraq, while others say the US is safer with Saddam no longer in power, courtesy of the Bush administrations decision to take him out. Doctrine 'debunked' The only consensus in Washington appears to be the belief held by most foreign-policy scholars that the US is unlikely to launch another full-scale pre-emptive attack anytime soon. In a May op-ed piece in the Los Angeles Times by Ivo Daalder of the Brookings Institution and James Lindsay of the Council on Foreign Relations, the authors argued that the Bush doctrine of pre-emption had been effectively debunked by the outcome of the war in Iraq. Today, the doctrine of pre-emption has fallen on hard times. Far from demonstrating the principle's effectiveness, the Iraq war and its aftermath have ultimately underscored its limits, Daalder and Lindsay wrote. With the Iraqi threat having turned out to be far less than advertised and the cost of occupying Iraq far higher, it is hardly surprising that pre-emption suddenly looks far less attractive, they said. Reality slap Peter Singer, a national security fellow at the Brookings Institution, agrees that events on the ground in Iraq have tempered the willingness of many who supported the invasion to advocate similar military measures against countries not deemed to be immediate threats. Nobody is making those kinds of bold neocon predictions they were making in the spring of 2002, Singer said. Since then they have clearly backed away from that because reality slapped them in the face. Not everyone agrees. Raymond Tanter, an adjunct scholar at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, says when looking at the overall developments, the Bush administration and many conservative advocates of the war feel vindicated by the outcome. What I hear is that because of the election, not much is going to be done in the Middle East if it can be avoided, Tanter said. But I dont think the administration has been deterred because I don't think the administration feels that things are going badly in Iraq in terms of the broad picture. Many analysts say the real debate centres around the distinction between pre-emptive war and preventive war. Crucial difference Whereas pre-emptive war involves the use of definitive, real-time intelligence to confront an immediate security threat, preventive war is the use of more speculative intelligence to go after an enemy that may constitute an imminent danger somewhere down the road, several experts said. Pre-emptive is different than preventive war, said Laurence Korb, a former defence department official in the Reagan administration and now a senior fellow at the Center for American progress, a Democratic thinktank in Washington. A lot of people use the terms interchangeably and

Box 270143 Hartford, WI 53027 Phone (262) 673-9745 Fax (262) 673-9746 August 5, 2004 WHAT HAPPENED IN OSHKOSH? AND WHY SHOULD GUN OWNERS CARE? On Saturday, July 17, an unknown shooter woundedan Oshkosh, Wisconsin, police officer, then faded intothe night. Was the shot fired by a partying teenager?Was it an accidental discharge from another officer'sgun? Was it a mistake or an intentional assault? Noone knows. What happened next is unclear; everyone gives adifferent version of the events. According to the most credible reports, theOshkosh PD evacuated a several block area. Withoutwarrants in the immediate aftermath of the shooting,SWAT teams and police dogs descended on theneighborhood. Officers got consent to search homes.(It's logical to assume that "consent" in this casewas given under heavy police pressure.) Once inside,police officers confiscated firearms -- withoutwarrants, without consent, without probable cause.Residents returned to homes that appeared to have been"tossed" by burglars and found their guns missing. Oshkosh police say they have since returned allfirearms for which they had no warrants. Some mediareports and individuals who cared enough to call saythe Oshkosh police have "more or less" apologized tothe abused victims. Activist gun owners are up in arms -- as theyshould be. But few gun-rights groups (including JPFO,until now) have jumped into the fray, partly becauseit's so unclear what really happened that night. Wehave tried to contact our members in the area and havegotten no response. Whatever happened, the Oshkosh police obviouslybehaved outrageously. Whether the unconstitutionalconfiscations were department policy, superiorofficers' orders, or screwups by incompetentlydangerous cops who neither knew nor cared anythingabout the Fourth Amendment, those confiscations wereunAmerican in the deepest sense. In fact, they wereanti-American. But frankly, it's hard to defend citizens who areso deeply in denial that -- in this day of anti-gunhysteria and ninjafication of American police forces-- they'd open their doors and willingly let policerifle through their possessions. Those victimizedresidents also have a responsibility as citizens, asAmericans. And they failed in their responsibility asseriously as the police did. WHAT CAN WE LEARN FROM THIS? Take the historical perspective. It's entirelypossible that this police action was a trial balloonfor larger-scale raids and confiscations. Even if itwas only an isolated incident, it sets a dangerousprecedent. It tells other police agencies -- and thefederal agencies who are working to militarize them --just what people in the American heartland willtolerate. Why did the police chief authorize random gunseizures (if he did)? Why did officers conduct them?We need to understand the mentality behind such "allguns are bad, all people are guilty" attitudes.Remember, this is the attitude of men and women _whoclaim to be our protectors.

These include (1) to punish Joseph Wilson for challenging 16 words in President Bush's 1-28-03 State of the Union address; and (2) to intimidate other sources from publicly challenging the White House's version of events involving the war on terrorism and the US invasion of Iraq. Both of these goals are well-known from numerous reports on this White House scandal. The other, (3) is that VP Cheney was attempting to derail an investigation that Plame may have been involved in at the time that her identity was exposed. This third potential goal has not been the subject of any major media attention. The author of this paper put it forward on an internet forum, the Democratic Underground, in early July, 2004. The resulting eleven DU threads, which consist of over 3,000 posts from interested citizens across the country, is the only known forum debating this theory. Besides the eleven DU Plame Indictment threads, the information in this paper comes from the following four sources: The Politics of Truth, by Joseph Wilson; Worse Than Watergate, by John Dean; Don't Tread on Joseph Wilson, NYT book review by John Dean on 5-23-04; and Plenty to Swear About, by Joe Klein, Time, 7-5-04. Time Line While the case involving Wilson's investigation in Niger, and the White House's efforts to expose Plame is long and complicated, this paper will focus on a time line established by Wilson in his book. 1. Jan '02: The first reports of a Niger-Iraq uranium connection surface in the White House. 2. Feb '02: Wilson is asked to investigate by the CIA. 3. March '02: Wilson returns from Niger and briefs the CIA on the investigation. His conclusion supports those of two others that there was no Niger-Iraq connection. 4. Jan '03: Bush includes the 16 words in his State of the Union address. 5. On or about March 5, '03: the CIA gives VP Cheney an oral report, informing him of Wilson's conclusions. 6. March 7, '03: the IAEA announces the US's documents on Niger-Iraq are forgeries. 7. March 8, '03: (a) a State Department spokesperson admits, We fell for it in regard to the forged document; (b) Wilson tells CNN that the State Department has more information on the subject; and (c) a workshop meeting is held in VP Cheney's office. It is attended by top republican officials, possibly including Cheney, Scooter Libby, and Newt Gingrich. The group discusses ways to discredit Wilson. 8. June 8, '03: Condoleeza Rice denies knowledge of the weakness of the Niger uranium claim on Meet The Press. She states, Maybe someone down in the bowels of the Agency knew about this, but nobody in my circles. 9. July 6, '03: Wilson's NYT op-ed is published. By the following day, two senior White House officials began contacting at least six reporters, informing them of Valerie Plame's identity as a CIA operative. 10. July 8, '03: Reporter Robert Novak tells a complete stranger on a Washington street: Wilson's an asshole. The CIA sent him. His wife, Valerie, works for the CIA. She's a weapons of mass destruction specialist. She sent him. In the following days, Novak would ask the CIA for confirmation of Plame's identity. He was asked not to print her name or identity in any article regarding Wilson. 11. July 14, '03: Novak's article exposes Plame. 12. July 20, '03: NBC's Andrea Mitchell tells Wilson that senior White House officials told her that the real story was not the 16 words, but was Wilson and his wife. 13. July 21, '03: NBC's

John P. Souza, charged with tax evasion, says U.S. and state laws don't apply to him. Jeff Widener The Honolulu AdvertiserThe case of John P. "Pilipo" Souza, a retired Honolulu fire captain and private insurance investigator, is the latest action by sovereigntists who assert their Hawaiian citizenship by disregarding certain U.S. and state laws they say don't apply to them. A trial before state Circuit Court Judge Michael Wilson is set for tomorrow, when Souza, 66, will face second-degree theft and fraud charges. He has spent more than a month in the O'ahu Community Correctional Center, because he refused on June 28 to participate in the trial proceedings, and his bail was revoked. The strain on his family was starting to show last week, when he sought unsuccessfully to get bail restored. As the sheriff led Souza away, he blew a kiss to his tearful wife, Leota, and waved to friends in the gallery. Souza was indicted in September on two counts of making "false and fraudulent statements," said deputy attorney general Joan Ha'o, when he claimed in two amended state tax returns that his "adjusted income" for 1999 and 2000 was zero. The two counts of theft stem from income tax refunds $2,962 for 1999 and $3,208 for 2000 that he received based on those returns, Ha'o said. Like many sovereignty activists, Souza maintains the kingdom was never legally terminated and that its laws still apply including laws that make anyone born in Hawai'i eligible for citizenship at birth. Among the activists are Nathan Brown, a protester convicted of tax fraud in 1993 and a fugitive until his arrest last year. Unlike most sovereigntists, however, Souza is of Portuguese, not Hawaiian, ancestry. But he and supporters such as sovereignty activist Leon Siu say Souza may claim Hawaiian citizenship, pointing to the multi-ethnic makeup of the Hawaiian nation before the monarchy was overthrown in 1893. Central to Souza's case is his contention that he renounced his U.S. citizenship in 1996, giving written instruction to his private employer not to withhold taxes, Siu said. The taxes continued to be withheld until he retired last year, when he filed for the refund. He also maintains that state courts have no jurisdiction to try him, Siu said, so Souza has insisted on representing himself. "Once you have an attorney appointed by the court, you waive your objections to the jurisdiction," added William Amona, another supporter and longtime Hawaiian activist. At two court dates April 14 and June 28 Souza refused to leave the gallery to let the trial begin. He was taken into custody at the April hearing but released after stating that he would come to trial in June. However, when in June he declined again to "enter the bar" to enable jury selection to begin, his bail was revoked and he was sent to OCCC. He remained there until Friday, when he appeared at a hearing on a motion to restore bail so he could leave OCCC, meet with witnesses and prepare for his trial. "I have not been able to go to the library," Souza told Wilson. "I have not been able to do any research to further my case. I have been academically disconnected." He promised Wilson that, because he does not want to serve more jail time, he would not delay trial procedures further. Wilson did not accept that promise, and would not allow Souza to bail himself out. "I don't question that at this time you might be sincere," Wilson said. "But you were sincere in April, and after that you didn't keep your word. ... I cannot contribute to
[CTRL] Lucifer is the Secret God of Secular Society
-Caveat Lector- http://www.savethemales.ca/000237.html Sunday, August 8, 2004 Home of Henry Makow Ph.D. Home | UW | Articles | Reference | Contact Articles Bigger Text | Default Text | Smaller Text | Adjust column | Send to a Friend Lucifer is the Secret God of Secular Society By Henry Makow Ph.D. October 12, 2003 A 37-year-old Montreal historian, David Livingstone has written a stunning book that casts modern civilization in a new and troubling light. In The Dying God, The Hidden History of Western Civilization, Livingstone shows that modern secular culture is really the product of an occult tradition that can be traced back to ancient Babylon through Freemasons, Rosicrucians, Templars, Plato and the Cabalists. Essentially, this tradition adopted Lucifer as symbol of mankind's rebellion against God. It enshrined human reason, appetite and will as the ultimate standard of goodness and truth. It usually defined freedom in terms of destroying the moral and social order. Freedom means dissipation not uplift and empowerment. The occult's real aim is to empower the elite. Livingstone, who is not "religious" explains: "The basic principle of most religions is to behave unto others as we wish to be treateda principle of justice...[In contrast] the occultist...is lured by his vanity to seek a type of knowledge that sets him apart from others, maintaining that it is the preserve of the elite." (222) Livingstone shows how this occult dogma was secretly adopted by key elites throughout history and was behind the English (1649), American (1776), French (1789) and Russian Revolutions (1917), three of which involved regicide. Lucifer is the "bringer of light." The occult inspired the so-called Enlightenment, which defined modern culture. Francis Bacon was a Rosicrucian. Diderot, Rousseau, Voltaire, and Newton were all Freemasons. Fifty of the 56 signatories of the US Declaration of Independence and most U.S. Presidents were Masons. So were Stalin, Roosevelt and Churchill. The plan of the city of Washington was designed by a Mason in the shape of a pentagram, the symbol of Lucifer. The scientific revolution is also rooted in the occult as magic, i.e. the manipulation of nature. The significance of Livingstone's lucid, well-documented book is enormous. A dominant segment of our leaders secretly serve Lucifer; their sinister and corrupt influence is evident everywhere. Secularism is as much a religion as Christianity. The "separation of church and state" is a stratagem to enshrine Lucifer as the god of the modern world. Masonic secularism's goal is to destroy genuine religions like Christianity and Islam. Secular people can be moral when they follow their conscience, which is God's voice. But they are more likely to stray if they don't believe that the good is part of a real moral order. Reason divorced from an absolute morality (God) can be used to justify anything, including mayhem and tyranny. The goal of the new world order is to divert humanity from God's Plan and enslave us to a vicious Satanic elite. Read what Svali, an Illuminati defector wrote about the Illuminati, a superwealthy group of Luciferians who plan a world police state: "The Illuminati is a group that practices a form of faith known as "enlightenment". It is Luciferian, and they teach their followers that their roots go back to the ancient mystery religions of Babylon, Egypt, and Celtic druidism. They have taken what they consider the "best" of each, the foundational practices, and joined them together into a strongly occult discipline. Many groups at the local level worship ancient deities such as "El", "Baal", and "Ashtarte", as well as "Isis and Osiris" and "Set" I do know that these people teach and practice evil." Historians are paid to suppress this truth. David Livingstone's The Dying God uncovers it. In a just world, this brilliant historian would be celebrated. Instead, he earns his living making furniture. HOW LUCIFER IS WORSHIPPED Millions of people do not pay homage to Lucifer at a weekly service. Priests in red gowns do not preach Satanism from the pulpit. Lucifer cannot declare himself openly. He wages an undeclared covert war for our souls.Lucifer's servants sit in expansive offices, ride in limousines and appear on TV. They are our political and cultural leaders,

Specifically, I theorize by examining the FACTS associated with the conspiracy called life. That makes me a conspiracy theorist and that is good. Albert Einstein in his day theorized about relativity. The Egyptians theorized about hydraulics and that is why they are known as The Hydraulic Society. Theory must not be confused with hypothesis (usually done on purpose) as most journalists are trained to do. Hypothesis is a product solely of a mind. It is not based on FACTS. Hypothesis is itself a useful tool, but unlike theory as I said, it is not based on fact. Theory is always based on fact. My main theory is that the people of the world are living in slavery; they are slaves who do their own shopping. My premiss is that the world is controlled by two groups of men who wear dresses (and some lesbian women who act like men); mostly Monks, Arabs and Frankish Scots are in charge of the conspiracy, while lawyers, doctors, scientists, accountants, engineers and PHD university graduates are most often also predators on the people (but not all are sexual predators). Ancient brotherhoods of sexual predators operate covertly, hiding behind the veil of secret societies such as Ecclesiastic Freemasonry. Other types of predators operate overtly; in Organized Religion, Politics, Business and the Military. Both of these groups of predators view the rest of the people of the planet as simple laboratory guinea pigs, to be used and abused for their benefit. We are used by them in 'stress' experiments which are designed primarily to test the effectiveness of their instruments of control. These mechanisms are; the massive worldwide genetic engineering of human beings into human boeings (operating on auto-pilot), living a life which is filled with recurring bouts of stress creating war, pestilence, famine and disease, etc.. The main goal of the modern overt controller is simply to become an elitist, while for the ancient hidden covert Monkish brotherhoods the plan is more long range. They aspire to fabricate a more perfect slave with which to replace us human beings and then export their learned control mechanisms beyond the boundaries of planet Earth, to the entire universe. My job as a human being (zoion), is to uncover UR, Ultimate Reality. I do this by sculpting away the BS which was first downloaded into my brain by all of my care-givers (parents, priests, teachers, politicians, police, press and other media). Then, I proceed to investigate the preponderance of the evidence that, eventually, leads me to overstand Ultimate Reality. It is only when I do this search that, as a human being, I am truly free. Once I had achieved a certain level of wisdom in overstanding, and not just understanding the conspiracy I live in, then my job became one of helping others who also want to overstand the mess we're in.

Coca leaves are piled in a three foot high mound on the concrete floor of the openair building that houses the market. The walls are painted with faded murals of mountains and sunsets. Here the mostly Quechua and Aymara people of the Chapare region come to buy and sell the coca leaves that they chew to stave off hunger and fatigue. The market has been in business for over a hundred years, predating the rise of the cocaine trade and the regulation of coca. The people of the Chapare have grown and used coca since long before the Spanish conquest of Bolivia. It plays a central role in their culture and their religion. Felipe Caceres, the mayor of the nearby town of Villa Tunari, and a coca grower himself, explains that For us coca is a natural resource and a part of our cultural patrimony. The very existence of the market in Sacaba and its fifteen smaller satellite markets contradicts the U.S. governments claims that the coca grown in the Chapare is all bought up by narco-traffickers and made into cocaine. Vendors must purchase licenses from the government and carefully document their transactions. The same organization that administers the market confiscates shipments of coca that are being transported by unlicensed vendors, lack the proper documentation, or are being moved along unauthorized routes. Officials store the confiscated coca in a warehouse next to the Sacaba market, and later burn it at high temperatures. The coca growers of the Chapare exist in a strange legal gray area. The Bolivian military and police consider their crops illegal and routinely raid small farms throughout the region. At the same time, the organization that runs and regulates the market in Sacaba is actually a government agency. In January of 2002, under pressure from the U.S. Embassy, the military tried to shut down the Sacaba market, sparking a fierce struggle in the streets of Sacaba and Cochabamba. By the time the struggle ended, four campesinos and two soldiers were dead and some one hundred campesinos had been arrested and tortured (see Luis Gomezs report, The War Over Sacaba). Eventually, the government relented and re-opened the coca market. The sacrifices that the people of the Chapare were willing to make in the battle to re-open the market in Sacaba point to the coca leafs essential role here. Evo Morales, a leader in the Chapare coca growers union and a major national political figure in Bolivia, says that to speak of eradicating coca is to speak of eradicating the Quechua and the other indigenous groups because it is so central to their culture. According to Angel Sandoval, a coca farmer from the town of Rio Alto, We grow coca because there is no other plant that will give us enough money with which to live. In a good year, a single hectare of coca will bring in just under $4,500. A hectare of palmitos will only bring in about $250, and farmers actually end up losing money on passion fruit because of the costs of pesticides and labor. Many campesinos are farming on as little as one sixth of a hectare. At the market, farmers often

China is going to be if it isn't covertly already * * * Britain's HSBC Buying 19.9 Percent Stake in Major Chinese State Bank for $1.7 Billion By Joe McDonald Associated Press Saturday, August 7, 2004 http://biz.yahoo.com/ap/040807/china_hsbc_1.html BEIJING -- British bank HSBC Holdings PLC is buying a 19.9 percent stake in one of China's biggest state-owned banks for $1.7 billion, dramatically expanding the foreign presence in the top ranks of Chinese finance. The deal, announced Friday with Shanghai-based Bank of Communications, is the biggest move yet by a foreign bank into China's rapidly developing banking industry. Beijing has allowed limited foreign investment in its banks in hopes of improving their management and technology as it prepares to meet commitments to let foreign banks compete on an equal footing with Chinese institutions by 2006. HSBC's deal with Bank of Communications could put it ahead of rivals such as U.S.-based Citigroup Inc. and Britain's Standard Chartered in the race for access to China's booming consumer market. The British bank said it would help its Chinese partner expand its credit card business and provide other services. For HSBC this investment provides the group with a new window for developing our business in China, HSBC chairman Sir John Bond said at a signing ceremony in the Great Hall of the People, the seat of China's legislature in central Beijing. In return, for Bank of Communications, it's an opportunity to draw on our international expertise and network, Bond said. Dozens of foreign banks have branch offices in China or joint ventures with Chinese banks. HSBC Holdings was the world's fifth-biggest bank in 2003 in asset terms, according to The Banker magazine. The bank was founded in the 19th century as the Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank in Hong Kong and Shanghai when both were Western-ruled colonial territories. Bank of Communications has a network of 2,700 branches and reported $115 billion in assets at the end of 2003, with $100 billion in customer deposits. The bank said last month that it was considering selling shares to Chinese investors, as well as on stock exchanges in Hong Kong or the United States. The HSBC stake would be just under the maximum 20 percent share that Chinese rules allow a single foreign investor to own in a Chinese bank.

Both claims are false. August 4, 2004 Summary False allegations about Kerry's wife have been circulating for months, but the velocity of the Internet whispering campaign picked up substantially with the approach of the Fall campaign. One false message claims Teresa Heinz Kerry gave $4 million to a foundation that used the funds to support a list of radical groups including one with alleged links to Hamas and another that is said to have offered to provide a lawyer for Saddam Hussein. But public records show otherwise. Heinz Kerry's foundation money was directed to projects such as Sustainable Pittsburgh, which promotes smart growth strategies. Another widely circulated e-mail claims Kerry and his wife own dozens of H.J. Heinz Company factories in Europe and Asia. It accuses Kerry of hypocrisy for denouncing offshoring of US jobs while making millions off that cheap labor. That's also false: neither of them own Heinz. Public records show Heinz Kerry isn't an officer of the company, isn't on the company's board of directors, and isn't even close to being the largest shareholder. The Heinz Endowments do own Heinz stock -- less than 4% of the company -- but income from that stock goes to charity, not to the Kerrys personally. Analysis FactCheck.org has received hundreds of copies of these two e-mails from subscribers who asked us to check out whether there's any truth to them. They have been circulating like a virus, relayed by people who either don't bother to check out whether they are true, or don't care.

[CTRL] The World Is Plunging Towards Chaos
-Caveat Lector- NEWS UPDATE 8-7-04 http://www.truinsight.com/ By Stewart Best The World Is Plunging Towards Chaos in the planned Masonic ORDO AB CHAO, that is ORDER OUT OF CHAOS, or we could say, WORLD CHAOS BRINGS A NEW WORLD ORDER. The order, according to the occult motto, is SECULAR. Without God. We should say without the GOD OF THE BIBLE, BUT WITH A FAKE GOD, for the planners have long said that RELIGION IS THE OPIUM OF THE MASSES. That is why Psalm Two is so important right now to understand.The WAR IS ONLY AGAINST GOD THE FATHER AND JESUS CHRIST. It just so happens that fundamentalists of ANY STRIPE are in the way, and right now, those FANATICAL ISLAMICS are the best targets to instill in the minds of the masses that ALL FUNDAMENTALISTS ARE DANGEROUS. Witness Project Megiddo issued by the FBI. It was a document of high treason against Jesus Christ by the United States Government - and from the Justice Department as well, the very ones sworn to uphold religious freedom in this country!!! For their sources, they used primarily the occult - the sworn enemies of the real God!!! Of course, they pointed to the RADICAL FUNDAMENTALISTS as the ones to be careful about - those that hated the United States Government. To criticizes now is to hate America and to be an enemy combatant. There are very few people who actually hate America as a nation. There are very few people who actually hate HONEST GOVERNMENT. What those Americans are complaining about it that the GOVERNMENT HAS BEEN TAKEN OVER BY THE OCCULT FORCES WITHIN HER, THOSE THAT HAVE NO REGARD FOR THE LAW, FOR THE CONSTITUTION, FOR THE BILL OF RIGHTS, and who are right now involved in a MASSIVE GRAB FOR ABSOLUTE POWER, namely ASHCROFT AND BUSH. Posing as CHRISTIANS, THEY ARE DOING WHAT ANTICHRIST DOES. Posing as Bible thumpers, they wage war against FREEDOM, THE CONSTITUTION AND THE BILL OF RIGHTS. Posing as MEN OF GOD, they wage a fake war against fake terrorists and will stir the world up into a frenzy of HATRED TOWARDS ALL CHRISTIANS THE WORLD OVER. It was all planned that way. You are watching the rise of the FOURTH REICH, long in Bible prophecy, rising up in America, THE MIGHTY BABYLON. Are we saying 9-11 was a FAKE? No, it was real, but obvious to anyone that OBL could not have planned and executed that type of an attack from a cave in the middle of nowhere. The American people need to remove their blinders and look at the actual facts, the actual video tapes, the actual pictures and they need to ask some very serious questions. Being a professional jet pilot for many years, I knew right from the beginning that there was something very wrong with the entire portrait. It was then confirmed when the PTB brought forward Ms. Halfbright and a host of others to inform the American people that they were going to have to give up their freedoms for security. Terrorism is the tool being used to bring in the New World Order of Antichrist. It will be a SOCIALISTIC DICTATORSHIP WITH NO FREEDOMS WHATSOEVER. Then we had General Tommy Franks tell us that MARTIAL LAW would come with the next terrorist attack. These TRIAL BALLOONS brought no hue and cry from the people, so all is going as planned. Soon you will be under MARTIAL LAW. Soon your children will be taken from you. Soon you will be doing EXACTLY AS YOU ARE TOLD or you will be taken to a re-education camp. Remember that Jesus Christ said that the ANTICHRIST COMES INTO POWER BY DECEPTION. That means, he uses the ART OF WAR, OR DIVERSIONARY TACTICS to come to power. HE LIES, HE IS A DECEIVER, A LIAR FROM THE BEGINNING, AND A MURDERER AS WELL. He plots an attack, he alerts his people in high places to allow the attack to take place, he then ATTACKS, and BLAMES SOMEONE ELSE. We are in a war against terrorism! the occult powers scream. WE NEED TO TAKE AWAY SOME OF YOUR FREEDOMS TO FIGHT THIS INVISIBLE ENEMY. WE NEED TO WAGE A WAR THAT WILL BE LONG AND WITH MANY YEARS OF HARD SACRIFICE. Of course, once freedoms have been taken away, they are never returned. It does not matter that many of our RIGHTS COME FROM GOD, and that NO GOVERNMENT CAN TAKE THEM AWAY. That is, unless the government IS GOD, WHICH IS WHAT WE ARE BEING TOLD ON A REGULAR BASIS. And so the occult forces within government, and those of the free press, wage a war of DECEPTION against the people of America and the world. The only enemy the world has, according to the Bible, are the RICH MEN OF THE EARTH, THE SUPER RICH, ALSO KNOWN AS THE ELITE. They are pointed to as the very culprits who bring in the last and final DRACONIAN WORLD GOVERNMENT. It is so stated in the Bible, The Book of Enoch, The Kolbrin. It is the RICH MEN OF THE EARTH that have brought the world all the wars, all of the suffering, all of the pain. They are the ones who plan and execute their wars, form new religions, spawn terrorism the world over. The Bible says they raise up STRIFE AND CONTENTION ALL OVER THE WORLD. However, if the people of the world would round up and

[CTRL] Iraq Issues Arrest Warrants for Chalabi, Nephew
-Caveat Lector- Will the NYT have Judith MIller write onthis story? http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/iraq/la-080804chalabi_wr,1,7011571,print.story Iraq Issues Arrest Warrants for Chalabi, NephewFrom Associated Press12:21 PM PDT, August 8, 2004BAGHDAD, Iraq Iraq has issued an arrest warrant for Ahmad Chalabi, a former governing council member, on counterfeiting charges and another for Salem Chalabi, the head of Iraq's special tribunal, on murder charges, Iraq's chief investigating judge said today.The warrant was a new sign of the fall of Ahmad Chalabi from the centers of power. Chalabi, a longtime exile opposition leader, had been a favorite of many in the Pentagon but fell out with the Americans in the weeks before the U.S. occupation ended in June.His nephew, Salem Chalabi, heads the tribunal that is due to try Saddam on war crimes charges."They should be arrested and then questioned and then we will evaluate the evidence, and then if there is enough evidence, they will be sent to trial," said Judge Zuhair al-Maliky.The warrants, issued Saturday, accused Ahmad Chalabi of counterfeiting old Iraqi dinars which had been removed from circulation following the fall of Saddam's regime last year, he said.Ahmad Chalabi appeared to have been hiding the counterfeit money amid other old money and changing it into new dinars in the street, he said.Police found the counterfeit money along with old dinars in Ahmad Chalabi's house during a May raid, he said.Salem Chalabi was named as a suspect in the June killing of the Haithem Fadhil, director general of the finance ministry.Both men were reportedly out of the country today.Haidar al-Moussawi, Ahmad Chalabi's spokesman, said members of his Iraqi National Congress had heard of the arrest warrants only through the media."Such a warrant has been issued, but no one called any of the accused or gave them a chance before issuing the arrest warrant," he said."These are very bad indications about the state of justice and law in the new Iraq," he said.If convicted, Salem Chalabi could face the death penalty, which was restored today, al-Maliky said. Any sentence for Ahmad Chalabi would be determined by the trial judges, he said.Ahmad Chalabi was a senior member of the Governing Council, which ran Iraq from the fall of Saddam until the end of the U.S. occupation. But he fell out with the Americans, and allegations surfaced that he supplied Iranians with classified U.S. intelligence on American monitoring of Iranian communications.

[CTRL] When Kerry worked with Cheney on Vietnam P.O.W.'S Brothers-in-Cover-up

SchanbergAugust 3rd, 2004 10:30 AM High irony: Cheney and Kerry were allies on the critical P.O.W. issue(photos: Cheney, whitehouse.gov; Kerry, sbc.senate.gov/democrat) Previous articles by Sydney H. Schanberg on American P.O.W.'s: When John Kerry's Courage Went M.I.A. Senator covered up evidence of P.O.W.'s left behind Did America Abandon Vietnam War P.O.W.'s? Part 1A closer look at an ugly issue Did America Abandon Vietnam War P.O.W.'s? Part 2 he story I am about to lay out is one of high irony, for it is a story of howroughly a decade agoJohn Kerry, the Democrats' presidential candidate, allied himself with Dick Cheney, George Bush's vice president, on a critical issueVietnam prisoners of war. Cheney was then the Secretary of Defense for the first President Bush, and Kerry, then as now a U.S. senator from Massachusetts, had been named to head the specially created Senate Select Committee on P.O.W.M.I.A. Affairs. The committee's life ran for nearly a year and a halffrom August 1991 to January 1993, when its final report was issued. It was a voluminous, 1,223-page tome that said, in its brief executive summary, that beyond the 591 men returned in 1973 after the Nixon administration signed its peace treaty with Hanoi, "a small number" may still have been held in captivity, but that there was "no compelling evidence that proves" any of these men were still alive in 1993. Evidence but not compelling enough. Evidence but no proof. The summary read like a pinch-minded legal brief. Amazingly, the 1,000-plus pages of the body of the report repeatedly challenged the summary, spelling out in detail instance after instance of stark evidence that Hanoi had held back not "a small number" but a very sizable contingent of American prisoners, probably for a ransom that never came. Documents unearthed by the committee staff put the number in the hundreds, maybe as many as 700. Kerry's collaboration with Cheney was not something that took place in public. They didn't appear together or hold joint press conferences. Mostly, Cheney kept out of sight. Nonetheless, the two of them were working closely together. In effect, Kerry made the Department of Defense a virtual partner in the probe. For example, Kerry had his top aide, committee chief of staff Frances Zwenig, specifically coordinate and orchestrate the panel's public hearings with Defense Department officialseven though the Defense Department was supposed to be the main agency under investigation for covering up the existence of the prisoners. In a memorandum for the record, one staffer protested: "Speaking for the other investigators, I can say we are sick and tired of this investigation being controlled by those we are supposedly investigating." When committee staffers complained that the Pentagon was withholding pivotal P.O.W. documents, Cheney in response wrote a letter to his subordinates telling them to give the committee everything it wanted. It was a wink-wink letter. The stonewalling continued right up to the committee's expiration. The Pentagon never turned over the key documents. Kerry, afterward, said the Pentagon's cooperation had been exemplary. As the panel's final report was being written, the lobbying by interested parties was intense. The Pentagon was the heaviest lobbyist, and it had an inside track to Kerry. It was chief of staff Zwenig who, on Kerry's instructions, personally shepherded the Pentagon's alterations into the report. None of these insertions was identified as coming from the Pentagon. Anyone reading those passages would assume the committee had written them. Cheney's motives were obvious. He and the first President Bushand all the other presidents since Nixonhave continued the cover-up, realizing the political immensity of leaving these men behind and afraid of the public firestorm that would ensue if they revealed the truth. Powerful reputations and governments have fallen for far less serious wrongs. So, across seven presidencies and 31 years, official Washington has insisted on this inglorious national "secret." Sadly, the mainstream press, with few exceptions, has gone along with the government's story, rarely digging beneath the surface. They, like most Americans, were anxious to bury the Vietnam experience. Kerry's motives for burying the truth largely remain a mystery. All one can tell from the record is that at some point fairly early in the committee's life, he began talking about the importance of putting the war behind us and

-Caveat Lector- - Original Message - From: Tango To: john brooks ; betty nelson ; [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; Jim Rarey ; Jeff Shumate ; Sean Haugh ; Dale Merrick ; Jobe Smith ; Dan Janssen Sent: Sunday, August 08, 2004 7:31 PM Subject: Fw: [wtpatltotrtf] Publisher launches 'youth Bible' - a tale of sex and masturbation Publisher launches 'youth Bible' - a tale of sex and masturbationBy Elizabeth Day(Filed: 08/08/2004) http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2004/08/08/nbible08.xmlsSheet=/news/2004/08/08/ixhome.html Sex is "fulfilling," masturbation is "difficult to resist" and Mary Magdalene "had something of a dodgy past". A new "youth Bible" which talks frankly about pornography and lust has been condemned by traditionalists for "dumbing down the message of salvation". The Contemporary English Version Youth Bible, jointly published by The Bible Society and Collins - which also publishes more traditional versions of The Bible - is written in modern idiom and includes a number of extra passages penned by contemporary authors on "youth issues". The passage on pornography advises teenagers "to avoid the top shelf of the newsagents, [and] pray as you surf [the internet]". A section on masturbation cites St Paul's exhortation in Thessalonians not to be "a slave of your desires", but admits that "it can provide a release". Exam anxiety can be dealt with by "praying for a bit of calm and a good memory!" while adolescents confused by their sexuality are reminded that "today's world is a sexual free market". Young people are also told to look at the parable of Jesus turning water into wine in the context of first-century Palestine. "Riding a donkey after a drink was less dangerous than drinking and driving today," it says. "Jesus made up to 160 gallons of wine at Cana, but would he have made anything that would intoxicate or bring harm to anyone?" The updated version has caused consternation among traditionalists, who argue that the Bible should not be tampered with. The Rev John Roberts, the general secretary of the Lord's Day Observance Society, said that the Bible should fight the increasing secularism of society, rather than embrace it. "Our society has never been so open so you don't need to use the Bible to teach people about these things," Mr Roberts said. "The Bible is a book that one shouldn't denigrate with this kind of sleazy language. This is gimmicky, and it is a real worry. "We need to be very careful we don't lose all concept of what the Bible is about by trying to make God 'pally'. He is not pally, He is too great to be brought down to our level." John Medlin, the development manager of the Latin Mass Society, a Catholic society that strives for authentic worship, claimed that the traditionalist wing of the Roman Catholic Church was growing worldwide precisely because it did not offer this sort of "watered-down faith". "Traditionalist Catholics have very little interest in such material and do not see the point of it," he said. "The fullness of the message of salvation is contained in the Bible for believing Christians, and I see no point in attempting either to add to it or to dumb it down for a contemporary audience that is desperately seeking transcendence.It is patronising. It speaks of a certain lack of morals in the persons producing these sort of dumbed-down Bibles. What we need to do is to offer it whole and untouched to youngsters in their contemporary world. They are desperately searching for someone to offer them a goal towards which to strive." The Contemporary English Version Youth Bible, edited by Nick Page, a Christian journalist and author, will cost £15.99. A spokesman for Collins said that the Bible "had changed with the times". "Sex, addiction, eating disorders, masturbation, bullying - most kids have to deal with this and if a modern Youth Bible is to remain a truthful guide to how to live a Christian life, it just can't duck them," she said. "Shame, confusion, embarrassment can't have a part in what we set out if we are to be credible at helping young people get more out of the Bible - and their lives." The Bible Society is dedicated to making the Bible accessible to people across the world. It is supported by donations from churches of different denominations including the Church of England. Philip Poole, the deputy chief executive of The Bible Society, said the society "supports the way Collins is helping young people understand how the Bible can speak into their lives today". www.ctrl.org DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

[CTRL] A George W. Bush Intelligence Czar Is Obviously an Oxymoron
-Caveat Lector- 'A George W. Bush Intelligence Czar Is Obviously an Oxymoron' by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr. Released by LaRouche PAC on Aug. 3, 2004. The fact that there are some rather large loopholes in the present organization of the U.S.A.'s intelligence-security system, is no excuse for the current tendency to plunge, stupidly and recklessly, into rushed efforts to create an intelligence czar. Idiot! Get your fat foot off that gas pedal! There is no need to rush into surrendering the powers of government to some alleged superman. The U.S. does not need a Heinrich Himmler. In fact, our nation does not have any need for the re-election of that pathetic George W. Bush who proposes that, he, now, shall create the Great Golem of national security, the man of mud, to save us all. One Mussolini, one Hitler, one Francisco Franco, one Iron Guard, were each already much too much. In fact, Golem or no Golem, the slide into national bankruptcy under one term of George W. Bush, was itself already much too much. Better leave the decisions about intelligence reorganization to the leadership of a new President, until a new day, come January 2005, after the completed work of the 9-11 Commission has dealt with those most crucial issues not yet touched upon by its presently uncompleted investigation. Nonetheless, without waiting any longer for those further inquiries, there are several important conclusions which I report now, on the subject of the proposal for reorganizing the top-most structures of our nation's security apparatus. 1. The '9-11 Commission' Report Itself To begin with, in the real world there exists no such species as the international terrorism which George W. claims to have seen in his visions. The effects which he has blamed upon international terrorism, are, chiefly, an assortment of actions belonging to the modern military-science classification of properly called asymmetric warfare, irregular warfare, or, in German, Kleinkrieg. The reported act of terrorism, as a bomb-like effect, is not a perpetrator, but only an effect; the cause of that which produces the effect, is another matter. Those deployed to assume the disguise of terrorists, are used like a bomb; those agents have a father, who uses them, a father which poor President Bush's delusional outbursts do more to protect, than to expose. The frequent cause of such effects, asymmetric or irregular warfare, includes such examples as the warfare used in defense against the U.S.A. deployment in the 1964-1972 U.S. War in Indo-China. It includes what the U.S.A. and the United Kingdom organized, using instruments such as their recruit Osama bin Laden, for asymmetric warfare launched against the Soviet forces in Afghanistan back during the time ever-naughty Samuel P. Huntington's confederate Zbigniew Brzezinski was incumbent National Security Advisor. When we plunge into global asymmetric warfare, enhanced with threatened use of nuclear weapons, as Vice-President Dick Cheney has done since Day One of the present G.W. Bush Administration, we bring the risks of asymmetric warfare, sooner or later, intimately into our own backyard. Our nation were better protected, when we cease using the words international terrorism, when we should be using the alternative terms asymmetric or irregular warfare. The obvious task of domestic national security, is to get rid of both those presently most common causes for the risks of asymmetric warfare, and of such relevant carriers of that mass-murderous disease, as Dick Cheney; the objective should be, to push those factors of risk out of the territory of the U.S.A. and out of our nation's and partners' vital interests abroad. Rather than entertaining proposed magical, Golem-like solutions for the problems of our present intelligence-security organization, we should weigh, very critically, the three, respectively distinct, leading features of the report of the 9-11 Commission. Admittedly, some very good people have served on that Commission. However, they have been operating under two great impediments: First, the obvious, concentrated demand for a cover-up from the relevant sources associated with the George W. Administration, especially Cheney's circles of neo-conservative chickenhawks. The associated cause for that appearance of a cover-up, more significant, but less readily noticed, is not organizational, but cultural. The chief difficulty hampering the attempts to maintain competent intelligence-security functions, has been the effect of the moral and intellectual degeneration of the popular, increasingly recreation-rather-than-reality-oriented culture of the Baby-Boomer generation. This generation is gripped by a careening custom of sophists' almost instinctive, reckless disregard for truth, practiced under pressures to go along to get along. This pervasive avoidance of truthfulness, in favor of perceived personal convenience and spin, has made it difficult for even the best among the relevant circles to cope with

She was strangled, then stabbed up to 32 times in what investigators called a ceremonial killing." http://www.toledoblade.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20040806/NEWS02/408060382/-1/NEWS Focus of Catholic sexual abuse suits now includes nuns by Ellen R. Stapleton AP 8/2/04 Louisville, Ky. "The Roman Catholic sexual abuse crisis has focused primarily on molestation by priests, but in Louisville, more than 20 people are now suing an order of nuns that staffed an orphanage decades ago. While most experts agree the incidence of abuse by nuns has been much less frequent than with male clergy, the phenomenon has been gaining some attention recently. The initial lawsuit against the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth was brought by seven plaintiffs July 15, just over a year after 243 people reached a $25.7 million settlement with the Archdiocese of Louisville over abuse claims. Herman J. Lammers, a longtime Catholic Charities director who was accused by two of those plaintiffs, was the resident chaplain at St. Thomas-St. Vincent Orphanage, which the sisters ran from 1952 until it closed in 1983. Lammers died in 1986. The recent complaints have been filed mostly by women who say Lammers raped or molested them. But there are also allegations against more than 10 nuns." http://www.newsday.com/news/local/wire/ny-bc-ct--churchabuse0802aug02,0,5074042.story?coll=ny-ap-regional-wire Study highlights sexual abuse of disabled "A study by four Dublin-based psychologists has reportedly found that more than 120 people with intellectual disabilities are sexually abused in Ireland every year. Reports this morning said the study by the psychologists at St Michael's House in Dublin found that more than half of the abuse was perpetrated by another disabled person.

Such medical complicity suggests still another disturbing dimension of this broadening scandal. We know that medical personnel have failed to report to higher authorities wounds that were clearly caused by torture and that they have neglected to take steps to interrupt this torture. In addition, they have turned over prisoners' medical records to interrogators who could use them to exploit the prisoners' weaknesses or vulnerabilities. We have not yet learned the extent of medical involvement in delaying and possibly falsifying the death certificates of prisoners who have been killed by torturers.
