-Caveat Lector- Dear President Bush,
Mr. Sharon's warm welcome to the White House today has many Americans very concerned and wondering if perhaps you have not been informed of the recent charges that have been leveled against the Prime Minister of Israel in the courts of Belgium. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/agentsmiley/message/1190 The Process By Which Forced Relocation And Neglect Combined With The Phony Drug War Are Being Used For Ethnic Cleansing And Genocide In Thailand http://www.akha.org/deathofavillage.htm Because the vast majority of the roughly 30,000 people who took Cipro in the anthrax scare were treating fear rather than exposure, the effectiveness of the bestselling drug was undermined even as its sales were skyrocketing. The more people who don't have bacterial infections take antibiotics, the less effective the drugs are when treating real problems, including TB, pneumonia, and bad colds. http://www.villagevoice.com/issues/0148/lerner.php The modern western establishment is a vast and cryptic cult that aggressively infiltrates and consolidates positions of social influence and control throughout western civilization, with ambitions that encompass the entire world. It is a functionalistic hierarchy. The greater one's proximity to and involvement with the establishment, and the higher that proximal portion of the establishment is in the hierarchy, the more thorough and insistent is the enforcement of establishment codes of conduct (many of which are fluid and unwritten). http://www.mega.nu:8080/ampp/ Attorney General John Ashcroft is considering a plan to relax restrictions on the F.B.I.'s spying on religious and political organizations in the United States, senior government officials said today. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/agentsmiley/message/1161 Internal opposition to the plan will exacerbate an already fractious atmosphere in the FBI since President Bush took office. http://www.observer.co.uk/Distribution/Redirect_Artifact/0,4678,0-610381,00.html "Not only has Washington ignored increasing evidence of Northern Alliance brutality, say critics, but the Bush administration has gone so far as to signal its approval for whatever Alliance commanders decide to do with captured Taliban troops.... "`Well, the president's policy is "dead or alive."' Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld joked last week with reporters. `I have my preference.'" http://www.thestar.com/NASApp/cs/ContentServer?pagename=thestar/Layout/Article_Type1&c=Article&cid=1006902671234&call_page=TS_News&call_pageid=968332188492&call_pagepath=News/News Portland police are no longer alone in their refusal to interview foreign visitors as part of a federal terrorism probe. http://www.koin.com/c6k/news/stories/news-109721420011129-131127.html The Pandora's box of the American empire is still open, releasing its monsters and fears on a world still not fully under its control. The Northern Alliance is a confederation of monsters. Attaching dissidents to the chains of a tank and crushing them, executing defenceless prisoners, raping men and women, these are all in a day's work for the guardians of the heroin trade. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/agentsmiley/message/1170 What goes down comes around. Amidst all the attention to United Airlines' post-September 11 woes, no one noticed the ringing irony of its tapping John W. Creighton Jr. as the new CEO to pull it out of a downward spiral. John Creighton is best known as the Weyerhaeuser president who turned the timber giant around in the early 1990s, but he's held another position closer to the events that sent one United jet crashing into the World Trade Center and another into the Pennsylvania countryside two months ago. Creighton has sat on the board of the California-based oil multinational Unocal since 1995--the period in which Unocal became the main American corporate suitor seeking to do business with the Taliban. http://www.thenation.com/doc.mhtml?i=special&s=scigliano20011108 October 29, 2001- The World Bank has invested over $20 billion in more than 200 projects that extract, transport, or burn fossil fuels since 1992, according to a first-of-its-kind global database launched by SEEN today. SEEN research found that the sum of lifetime emissions from World Bank projects financed from 1992 to the present will exceed 40 billion tons of carbon dioxide, a figure almost two times that of all global emissions from burning or flaring fossil fuels in 1998. http://www.seen.org/ The Bretton Woods Project works as a networker, information-provider, media informant and watchdog to scrutinise and influence the World Bank and International Monetary Fund (IMF). Through briefings, reports and the bimonthly digest Bretton Woods Update, it monitors projects, policy reforms and the overall management of the Bretton Woods institutions with special emphasis on environmental and social concerns. http://www.brettonwoodsproject.org/ For decades, individuals and broad-based movements in the Global South (Africa, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and the Caribbean) have protested against World Bank and International Monetary Fund (IMF) policies. They have denounced the expensive energy-generation projects, designed and built by the Bank together with multinational corporations, which have forced the re-location of thousands, devastated the environment, and mired countries in debt. They have taken to the streets to demonstrate against the "structural adjustment programs" which indebted governments must agree to in order to get loans from the IMF and World Bank, and which preach a blind reliance on market forces and a progressively diminished role for government in regulating the economy and advancing social goals. http://www.seen.org/pages/ftr/200111__wbresponse.shtml CNN, your coverage is uninformed, racist and totally unbalanced. It is often disgusting. I am not aware of a single occasion in which you interrupted your regularly scheduled programs to report extensively on even one of the many daily attacks Palestinian men women and children suffer at the hands of Israel's terrorist army and settlers, whether in the besieged refugee camps, villages or cities behind the barbed wire. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/agentsmiley/message/1174 Israeli occupation authorities declared during the afternoon hours of 2 December, that all Palestinian civilians would be barred from exiting or entering Palestinian-controlled areas. According to the Israeli media, Palestinian traffic is not to leave any Palestinian-controlled area (area A) or travel between area A and villages in areas B and C throughout the West Bank. The move effectively turns every Palestinian population center, no matter how large or small, into a prison. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/agentsmiley/message/1175 America intends to depose Saddam Hussein by giving armed support to Iraqi opposition forces across the country, The Observer has learned. http://www.observer.co.uk/international/story/0,6903,610461,00.html UN Human Rights Commissioner Mary Robinson has said she would support an international inquiry into the killing of hundreds of pro-Taleban prisoners in a northern Afghanistan fort. http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/world/south_asia/newsid_1684000/1684952.stm I am not interested in who wins war. Not have patriotism or big ideas about peace. Americans with ideals, kill millions of Germans. Germans kill--with own ideals--English, French, Russian, Belgian--all have ideals, all have peaceful purpose, all kill. ~~ George Gurdjieff, Paris, 1944 http://www.disinfo.com/pages/article/id1762/pg1/ Mau, the Ogiek's ancestral home, is a protected area under Kenya's Forest Act. Ever since colonial times, governments have tried to evict them from the forest, under the fiction of 'protecting the environment' from the Ogiek's activities; even this year the authorities have tried to throw the Ogiek out of their homeland. Up until now, the Ogiek have always made their way back. But now they are facing the worst threat yet. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/agentsmiley/message/1178 ECO�TERRA Intl. is the Global Society for ECOlogy and sound ECOnomy, an independent, international civil society organisation (CSO), registered as non-governmental organisation (NGO), working as development as well as humanitarian agency (NGHA), and committed to work for our common future, a better today and tomorrow on earth (TERRA). http://www.ecoterra.net/ These peoples are not looking for 'equal opportunities' but the just to be left alone, to live as they have always done, practising their traditional religions or folk beliefs and organising their societies in their own way. Many of the peoples we work with do not slot easily into bureaucratic categories, and so they are denied fundamental human rights and often face systematic persecution, genocide and murder. http://www.fpcn-global.org/art-44 DEMMAK, representing the highland people of West Papua, refuse to accept the greater autonomy deal recently given to us by the Indonesian government. We maintain our position that the highland people of West Papua want full independence only. http://www.fpcn-global.org/art-70 "Kiwat Hasinay" means "Caddo home."

The Western World's over-reliance and dependence on orthodox allopathic medicine (conventional physicians who prescribe drugs), pharmaceuticals, and the Standard Western Diet have brought us to a deplorable state of national health. There is no one more interested in maintaining your health, than you. In our opinion, you need to accept the primary responsibility and not delegate it to others. Millions and millions of Americans have suffered (and died) needlessly because of the foolish abandonment of personal health care responsibility into the hands of others. http://educate-yourself.org/intro.html Man assumes water is the universal solvent, so he thinks he can dump his junk into it and everything will be OK. Nature's recovery process is complete, but it is slow, and frankly, most of us are of the opinion that recovery is someone else's job. http://www.real-water.com/ More than 80 survivors emerged yesterday from the ruins of the Qalai Janghi fort in northern Afghanistan, where British and American forces participated in last week's slaughter of at least 150 Taliban prisoners of war by soldiers of the Northern Alliance. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/agentsmiley/message/1187 Faster than Lee Marvin could say "Dirty Dozen," Hollywood is rounding up its good-looking troops, rallying the editing rooms, and launching a war-time celluloid offensive. http://www.csmonitor.com/2001/1130/p1s4-ussc.html "We will get to him by other means, we will break him economically", stated the chief of the Mossad, Israel's CIA, to a Knesset committee after the failure of the government of Israel's attempt to ban publication of my first book, By Way of Deception, in the U.S. and Canada. This statement made on camera was purposely leaked to an Israeli reporter and printed in the weekend edition of Ma'ariv, Israel's leading daily newspaper, with the military censor's approval. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/agentsmiley/message/1188 After the death of the Prophet Mohammad, the new Islamic community was ruled in succession by four of his close Companions, chosen by the people and called the Rightfully-guided Caliphs. The last of these was Ali ibn Abu Talib; the Prophet's son-in-law. http://www.newdawnmagazine.com/Articles/Secrets%20of%20the%20Assassins.html This article offers a particular perspective on what�s going on in the world � and how things got to be that way � in this era of globalisation. From that red-pill perspective, everyday media-consensus reality � like the Matrix in the film � is seen to be a fabricated collective illusion. Like Neo, I didn�t know what I was looking for when my investigation began, but I knew that what I was being told didn�t make sense. I read scores of histories and biographies, observing connections between them, and began to develop my own theories about roots of various historical events. I found myself largely in agreement with writers like Noam Chomsky and Michael Parenti, but I also perceived important patterns that others seem to have missed. http://www.newdawnmagazine.com/Articles/Escaping%20the%20Matrix.html Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, the ruling circles in the rich capitalist nations, led by the United States, proclaimed the dawn of a "New World Order". But it really is not so "new". A more correct term for this post Cold War era is "Corporate World Order". http://www.newdawnmagazine.com/Articles/How%20to%20Say%20No%20to%20NWO.html If there were no age-specific and obligatory learning institution, �childhood� would go out of production. The youth of rich nations would be liberated from its destructiveness, and poor nations would cease attempting to rival the childishness of the rich. If society were to outgrow its age of childhood, it would have to become livable for the young. The present disjunction between an adult society which pretends to be humane and a school environment which mocks reality could no longer be maintained. http://www.newdawnmagazine.com/Articles/Schooling%20Liberation%20or%20Mind%20control.html Nowadays, scientists hunt for �ancestor� viruses of HIV in chimps in the African wild and ignore all the immunosuppressive viruses that were created in virus laboratories shortly before AIDS. No consideration is given to any of these lab viruses as possible man-made ancestors of the many �strains� of HIV (and HIV-2) that jumped species to produce AIDS in humans. http://www.newdawnmagazine.com/Articles/Aids_who_is_to_Blame.html During the morning of the 17th April 1984 an unarmed policewoman by the name of Yvonne Fletcher was gunned down in cold blood while on duty outside the Libyan People's Bureau in St. James Square, London. British accusations that the Libyan Government was responsible were incorrect. Yvonne Fletcher was assassinated on the direct orders of the American CIA in a coldly calculated 'Psyop' (Psychological Operation) designed to generate intense British hatred against Libya. The operation was a complete success. Two years later when the US used British air bases to launch a vicious bombing attack on Libyan civilians, only a handful of British voices were raised in protest. http://www.newdawnmagazine.com/Articles/'Perfect'%20CIA%20Assassination.html While the mainstream media, influenced by Cult Awareness Network propaganda, portray Jim Jones as an 'evil demagogue', a number of independent 'conspiratologists' view Jones as a conscious agent of the CIA. For these writers Jonestown was simply a CIA organised slave labor camp and the People's Temple just an elaborate facard hiding a bizarre intelligence agency experiment. http://www.newdawnmagazine.com/Articles/Who%20Was%20Jim%20Jones.html When Iraq broke off cooperation on 31 October [1998] with United Nations (UN) arms inspectors, it did so in a desperate effort to draw world attention to the country's plight under stringent UN sanctions. Crippling sanctions, imposed for over seven years, have caused unprecedented deprivation and loss of life in Iraq. http://www.newdawnmagazine.com/Articles/Iraq%20A%20Childs%20Cry%20for%20Help.html "The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender." - Proverbs 22:7 http://www.newdawnmagazine.com/Articles/Evil%20of%20Usury.html What is today known as Christianity, in its myriad of forms including both Catholic and Protestant varieties, is a very degraded heresy of Gnosticism. This helps to explain the Church Father�s virulent hatred of the Gnostics and the brutal thoroughness with which the established Christian Church, backed by the force of the Roman Empire, tried to stamp out the Gnostic movement in the 4th century. As the officially sanctioned Christian Church set its sights on worldly power, the remaining Gnostic Christians, still adhering to the original inner teachings of Jesus, were quickly perceived as the enemy, potential revivals to be destroyed. http://www.newdawnmagazine.com/Articles/An_Introduction_to_Gnosticism.html The government of Dummy, Rummy & Scummy are now offering to help aliens with their residency problems if they turn someone in to the Feds. Wonderful -- that's a GREAT way to get accurate information, Scummy, almost as unreliable as torture! Turn someone in and get a visa! http://groups.yahoo.com/group/bay_area_activist/message/12016 The initiatic journey to Islamic soil has been a repeated theme of European esotericism, ever since the Templars settled in Jerusalem and the mythical Christian Rosenkreuz learnt his trade in "Damcar" (Damascus). We find it in the lives of Paracelsus and Cagliostro, then, as travel became easier, in a whole host that includes P. B. Randolph, H. P. Blavatsky, Max Theon, G. I. Gurdjieff, Aleister Crowley, Rene Guenon, R. A. Schwaller de Lubicz, and Henry Corbin. There was very likely some element of this in Napoleon's Egyptian campaign of 1797, when he announced to an astounded audience that he, too, was a Muslim.. http://www.newdawnmagazine.com/Articles/Secret%20Tradition%20of%20Islam.html Hindu scholars have always claimed that in remotest times, their ancestors visited every part of the globe, mapping it accurately, and mining gold and copper in such places as Michigan, Colorado, Arizona, England, Ireland, Peru, and Bolivia. Known to us as "Indo-Europeans," they lost their grip on the world in about 1500 BC., retreating to what are now Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Northern India. However, they continued to visit the Americas in their large teakwood ships, many of them 250 feet long and five- to six-masted, until about 1200 A.D. After that, the sectarian fanaticism and territorialism of their religious leaders, rebellions among their conquered subjects, constant internecine rivalries, and troubles with Moslem invaders forced them into isolation. http://www.mondovista.com/baboquivari.html The Hopi Kiva and Muski lay in a larger, "mythical" region known as Sivapuni or Sivapu. Is it a coincidence that the ancient region of Northern India where God Shiva was the only religion, Uzbekistan, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Kashmir, was called Sivapuri? http://www.mondovista.com/kokopeli.html "I've invented this symbol I'm using in my e-mail. Its five dollar signs. This is to avoid all the other conspiracy theories. The five dollar signs represent the one half of one percent of the world's population that controls almost all the wealth. They may hate one another, they may fight with one another, they may conspire against one another, but they have interests in common which are not the interests of the rest of the world like you and me, and everybody we know. And they do act as a unified force whenever its in their interest. In fact, I think there's a Japanese word for it. Its when all the competing forces in Japan in industry and banking, when they all decide to work together to get rid of some common problem annoying all of them. That doesn't mean they're not going to go back to competing with one another, and back-stabbing each other next week. But when they have one common problem, they all work together. A reporter named Danny Cassalero discovered this. He didn't even know the Japanese word for it. He just called it "The Octopus". He discovered that all the power forces in the world, no matter how opposed they seem to be all work together when there seems to be a challenge that challenges all of them. http://www.dangermedia.org/innerview/raw1.html PHF: Any suggestions for those who might find themselves curious about conspiracy theories, or on the verge of swallowing one whole? RAW: I am 100 per cent in favor of studying conspiracy theories because, next to quantum mechanics, they represent the best test of how well you can handle ambiguity and uncertainty. Most people at present cannot handle indeterminacy at all and generally evade it by rushing to premature certitude. If you really study conspiracy theory carefully, examining all its flavors, the result is like studying quantum theory and all of its conflicting models. You either go bonkers or you learn to think beyond the aristotelian either/or logic of our culture. The best way to study conspiracy theory without swallowing one theory whole is to prepare yourself by a thorough training in clasical logic, fuzzy logic, general semantics and quite a bit of Zen-Sufi humor, until you have internalized the realization that Universe is infinite chaos and any model you make at a date cannot possibly contain all of it but only represents the mixture of your knowledge and ignorance at that date. http://users.bestweb.net/~kali93/raw.htm __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
