Greetings on the face this may appear old ( which it is ) but stil  
outstanding and it took 3 attemps to murder/assisnate Mcfadden.
WE are now in a credit crunch ( larger than most can immagine) soon  
the chANTS  of cash is king wll be hauled out my the media jackals...  
ok for a while
but most folks even ( those that at least sort of accept that money is  
created out of nothing ) do not fully understand how fractional  
reserve banking operates this folklowing report

should enlighted ( doe not apply to members of the flat earthe society)
This also shows what a farce so called " democracy is " ie to get some  
crookery through a system (democracy) wait until members are on holiday.



On May 23, 1933, Congressman, Louis T. McFadden, brought formal  
charges against the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve Bank  
system, The Comptroller of the Currency and the Secretary of United  
States Treasury for numerous criminal acts, including but not limited  
to, CONSPIRACY, FRAUD, UNLAWFUL CONVERSION, AND TREASON.
The petition for Articles of Impeachment was thereafter referred to  
the Judiciary Committee and has

YET TO BE ACTED ON.
So, this ELECTRONIC BOOKLET should be reprinted, reposted,
set up on web pages and circulated far and wide.

Congressman McFadden
on the Federal Reserve Corporation
Remarks in Congress, 1934
AN ASTOUNDING EXPOSURE
Reprinted by permission 1978 Arizona Caucus Club
Congressman McFadden's Speech
On the Federal Reserve Corporation

Quotations from several speeches made on the Floor of the House of  
Representatives by the Honorable Louis T. McFadden of Pennsylvania.  
Mr. McFadden, due to his having served as Chairman of the Banking and  
Currency Committee for more than 10 years, was the best posted man on  
these matters in America and was in a position to speak with authority  
of the vast ramifications of this gigantic private credit monopoly. As  
Representative of a State which was among the first to declare its  
freedom from foreign money tyrants it is fitting that Pennsylvania,  
the cradle of liberty, be again given the credit for producing a son  
that was not afraid to hurl defiance in the face of the money-bund.  
Whereas Mr. McFadden was elected to the high office on both the  
Democratic and Republican tickets, there can be no accusation of  
partisanship lodged against him. Because these speeches are set out in  
full in the Congressional Record, they carry weight that no amount of  
condemnation on the part of private individuals could hope to carry.

[cia-drugs] Real ID Through the Back Door

[Scott Munson]

Real ID Through the Back Door

D o w n s i z e r - D i s p a t c h

Today, for only the second and final time, I'll be using MY Sunday  
radio show, which starts at 3:06 PM Eastern (2:06 PM Central, 1:06 PM  
Mountain, and 12:06 PM Pacific), to launch a DownsizeDC.org campaign  
-- A Backdoor Real ID Card.


This backdoor Real ID card is called the Transportation Worker  
Identification Credential; TWIC card for short. My guest, during the  
second hour, will be Lowell Rogers, a brown-water, tugboat engineer.  
More about Lowell and the card in just a moment.


But first, I want to announce two other things . . .

First, this is my second-to-last live broadcast. August 24 will be my  
final episode, and Congressman Ron Paul is scheduled to be the  
featured guest of that August 24 episode (that's not today, but next  
Sunday).


Second, this is MY radio show. This program is about what interests  
me, and you receive this message because of a promotional arrangement  
between Yours Truly, and DownsizeDC.org. The guests, topics, and views  
expressed on the show are not those of the staff, management, and  
sponsors of DownsizeDC.org.


That's relevant because for the first hour we're going to discuss  
something that may interest you, but it's not normal political fare.  
But I believe it's relevant.


My guest during the first hour will be Frank Viola, co-author of the  
book, "Pagan Christianity."


Viola is a conservative, orthodox Christian. It's important to say  
that, because his book is perceived, by many, to be an attack on  
religion. It reveals the pagan origins of regular services in a  
dedicated building, order of worship, professional priests and paid  
clergy, the sermon, dressing up for Sunday services, choirs, thimbles  
of wine for communion, and tithing. He accuses the church of being too  
much like big a corporation, instead of what it should be -- of being  
oppressive, instead of organic.


This book is, to me, one of the most important books I've ever read,  
and I'm eager to get Viola on my show, not only because of the  
personal interest that I and some close friends have in this  
particular book, but also because I think it's part of an important  
national, downsizing trend.


Perhaps the best way to sum up the downsizing targets came from author  
Robert Podolsky, tackling an entity he called the B.O.R.G. Matrix.  
It's an acronym:


B, as in Big Business and/or Banks
O and R, as in Organized Religion
G as in Government, as in an overarching, intrusive, and expensive  
State.


There is, in my humble estimation, a growing, post-modern movement  
that is increasingly impatient with centralized authority figures  
working from big institutions -- what C. Wright Mills called "The  
Power Elite."


It's not just Big Government that's coming under scrutiny, it's major  
corporations, the empire, central bankers, and institutional media who  
are coming under the microscope as well. The next generation is  
seeking and finding alternatives based on their niche desires and  
values, opposed to playing world policeman, questioning our monetary  
system, and creating their own news sources. Ron Paul tapped into this  
trend (did I mention he's coming on my show next week?).


Organized Religion is also getting a major and, in my humble opinion,  
well-deserved deconstruction. I found Viola's book compelling. But  
please, keep in mind, as my non-religious colleague Perry Willis would  
be quick to point out: We're building a positive, transpartisan,  
COALITION -- a movement. It will take lots of different types of people.


So if this topic interests you, please tune in for the first hour. If  
not, join us for the second hour when we return to more standard fare.  
(NOTE: Last minute schedule changes happen on live radio). Regarding  
that second hour . . .


Lowell Rogers has been an engineer on a brown-water tugboat for 23  
years. He loves his work, and his employer likes the way Lowell does  
his job. But starting April 2009, thanks to the Maritime Safety Act,  
Lowell's employer will have to assume he's a potential terrorist,  
unless he has a Transportation Worker Identification Credential -- a  
TWIC card.


The TWIC card will require a criminal background check, and will  
include Smart Card biometric identifiers. It will place sensitive  
information about Lowell into a centralized government database.  
Lowell, as an act of patriotism, will refuse to take what he calls  
"the Mark of the Beast," and his 23-year career will come to an end.  
Here's why this matters to you . . .


The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) wants you to have a Real ID  
card that's very similar to the TWIC card. But DHS is failing to  
implement the Real ID because state governments are resisting. Twenty  
one states are refusing to comply with the REAL ID. It's probably the  
biggest rebellion against the federal government since the Civil War.  
So what can the DHS do to overcome this rebe

TBILISI, Georgia (AP) - Georgia's president says Russian warplanes have bombed 
Georgian villages and facilities, causing injuries.
Mikhail Saakasvhili also accused Russia of aggression in a televised statement 
Friday.
Saakashvili's statement came as Georgian troops mounted a major offensive 
Friday to regain control over the separatist province of South Ossetia which 
has close ties with Russia.

Russia's Foreign Ministry refused to make an immediate comment on Saakashvili's 
statement.

Re: [cia-drugs] Fwd: [SPY NEWS] A New Rush to Spy

[Mary Hartman]

I'm afraid those dark days are already upon us.  On February 12, 2002, the City 
Council in Racine, MN openly and blatantly violated citizens' civil rights by 
first inviting residents to voice their concerns about an illegal and dangerous 
operation in their midst, and then after having 60+ individuals from this tiny 
town of less than 300 appear, announcing that anyone who did try to speak would 
be removed from the premises and arrested by the Mower County Deputy on hand at 
the back of the room.  The FBI received dozens of complaints about this, but 
did nothing so citizens organized their own meeting.  A COINTELPRO operation 
took place on February 24, 2002 and innocent citizens were charged with crimes 
that they did not commit.  Authorities went so far as to have 911 calls from 
the citizens removed from one set of phone records and had all 911 tapes 
disappear despite Howard County IA policy of maintaining all 911 tapes for one 
year.  The authorities made a
 serious blunder, however, in that they did not think to have cell phone 
records for Mr. Clyde Boone deleted so they now had the problem of having 
billing records for his lengthy phone conversations with dispatch.and no 
recordings.  

Not to worry, though.  The courts in Minnesota are corrupted from the lowest to 
the highest levels and after Boone had the charges dismissed and took the 
county to task in a civil rights suit in federal court, Judge Ann Montgomery 
ignored the 5 gross Brady violations and ignored the mountains of fact-based 
evidence against law enforcement officials and dismissed the suit citing a case 
where the Plaintiff had his matter dismissed because he was a "self-proclaimed 
pain in the ass."  The ruling was mailed to Boone and the other 
Plaintiff.me, and reached us on my birthday.

The FBI pops up all over in this matter, and related matters, which confirms 
residents suspicions that the narco/weapons trafficking discussed by a federal 
informant and witnessed by a member of Congressman Tim Walz's staff is firmly 
entrenched in this state and the FBI will go to any length to make sure the 
drugs, weapons and money flow unimpeded.  

Civil rights?  It's time to wake up and realize that there is no substance 
behind the FBI's claim that terrorism, public corruption and civil rights 
violations are their top concerns.  It is our opinion, based on experience in 
Minnesota (where they not only failed to act on credible 9/11 info, but 
reprimanded an agent who did try to act) that civil rights are just words, like 
Fidelity, Bravery and Integrity that have no substance or meaning.  We're told 
they do, but as we saw in the clear case of gross civil rights violations by 
federal authorities and against Minnesota residents, citizens who attempt to 
assert their Constitutionally protected rights are swatted away and told that 
they are "a pain in the ass."

Editorial
A New Rush to Spy

There is apparently no limit to the Bush administration' s desire to
invade Americans' privacy in the name of national security. According
to members of Congress, Attorney General Michael Mukasey is preparing
to give the F.B.I. broad new authority to investigate Americans —
without any clear basis for suspicion that they are committing a crime.

Opening the door to sweeping investigations of this kind would be an
invitation to the government to spy on people based on their race,
religion or political activities. Before Mr. Mukasey goes any further,
Congress should insist that the guidelines be fully vetted, and it
should make certain that they do not pose a further threat to
Americans' civil liberties.

Mr. Mukasey has not revealed the new guidelines. But according to
senators whose staff have been given limited briefings, the rules may
also authorize the F.B.I. to use an array of problematic investigative
techniques. Among these are pretext interviews, in which agents do not
honestly represent themselves while questioning a subject's neighbors
and work colleagues.

Four Democratic Senators — Russ Feingold of Wisconsin, Sheldon
Whitehouse of Rhode Island, Richard Durbin of Illinois and Edward
Kennedy of Massachusetts — have written to Mr. Mukasey and urged him
not to sign the guidelines until they are publicly announced and
national security and civil liberties experts have had a chance to
analyze them.

We concur, and we would add that there should be full Co

He's Bck: Civil Rights Commission Hires Spakovsky to Work on  
Voting Rights


By Kate Klonick - August 21, 2008, 12:14PM
http://tpmmuckraker.talkingpointsmemo.com/2008/08/civil_rights_commission_hires.php
It looks like Hans von Spakovsky, an old TPM favorite, is back in  
business. The former Justice Department official, whose nomination to  
the Federal Election Commission (FEC) was thwarted when Democrats  
objected to his long record of support for restrictions on voting  
rights, has been hired as a "consultant and temporary full-time  
employee" at the ostensibly bi-partisan U.S. Commission on Civil  
Rights (USCCR) the agency confirmed to TPMmuckraker.


"From 2001 to 2005, von Spakovsky served as an official at the Justice  
Department's Civil Rights Division where he amassed a record of  
undermining voting rights, creating restrictions that would make it  
harder for poor and minority communities to vote, and putting partisan  
politics   above upholding our civil rights. "


If Spakovsky's history of backing efforts to make voting more  
difficult strikes you as a poor fit with the Commission's mission of  
defending voter rights, consider that of the eight current  
commissioners at the agency, only two are registered Democrats, a  
politicization that the New York Times' Charlie Savage brought to  
light last year.


Among Spakovsky's duties will be overseeing the USCCR's report on the  
Justice Department's monitoring of the 2008 presidential elections, a  
source inside the USCCR told TPMmuckraker.


Spakovsky's hiring is at the request of Commissioner Todd Gaziano, who  
works for the conservative Heritage Foundation on FEC issues and has  
defended Spakovsky in the press before. According to a federal  
government source, Gaziano has recommended Spakovsky at the  
government's highest payscale -- which would work out to about  
$124,010 annually if Spakovsky was to stay for an entire year.


And it seems that Gaziano may not have been exactly excited to make  
his selection of Spakovsky public knowledge. At a July 28th meeting  
(pdf) where the commissioners approved the hiring of the "special  
assistants," their identities were kept confidential.  According to  
the transcript of the meeting, when one of the commissioners asked for  
more information on the identity of who was being hired, the question  
was never answered.


So where is the money coming from? Well it turns out that USCCR is  
about $400,000 (pdf) under budget, and something had to be done with  
all that money before December. Although according to a federal  
source, the agency has other pressing needs -- understaffing and out- 
of-date technology -- the commissioners decided instead to spend at  
least part of that money on four temporary staff assistants.


Attempts to contact Graziano were referred to the Commission public  
affairs office. Calls to Spakovsky were not immediately returned.

Poland probes existence of secret CIA jails in Poland
07:45:51 Þ.Ù
Poland's judiciary has launched an investigation over the existence of
secret CIA jails in Poland, media reports said Friday.

According to the Spokesman of the Polish prosecutor's office, Maciej
Kujaweski, the probe is only in its early phase.

He did not reveal any further details, citing confidentiality.

Poland's Chief Prosecutor, Marek Staszak is reportedly heading the
three week-old investigation, the private Polish radio Zet said.

International human rights groups have accused Poland and Romania of
tolerating secret CIA jails on their territories.

Based on a report published by the lead investigator for the Council
of Europe, Dick Marty, the existence of CIA prisons in Eastern Europe
had been proven.

Marty's 100-page report said the prisons were operated exclusively by
Americans in Poland and Romania from 2003 to 2006.

The report relied primarily on testimony from CIA operatives.

Poland has strongly denied the charges.

Pentagon's intelligence arm steps up lie detecting

In this April 28, 2994 file photo, former CIA agent Aldrich Ames
leaves federal court in Alexandria, Va. Ames beat the polygraph test
twice and now the Defense Intelligence Agency is nearly tripling its
arsenal of lie detectors in an attempt to polygraph every one of its
5,700 prospective and current employees every year. Polygraphy as a
screening tool, however, is not fool proof. The test gives a high rate
of false positives on innocent people, and guilty testers can be
trained to beat the system.

WASHINGTON—The Pentagon's intelligence arm is adding more polygraph
studios and relying on outside contractors for the first time to
conduct lie detection tests in an attempt to screen its 5,700
prospective and current employees every year.

The stepped-up effort by the Defense Intelligence Agency is part of a
growing emphasis on counterintelligence, detecting and thwarting
would-be spies and keeping sensitive information away from America's
enemies.

A polygraph is not foolproof as a screening tool. The test gives a
high rate of false positives on innocent people, and guilty subjects
can be trained to beat the system, according to expert Charles Honts,
a psychology professor at Boise State University.

The National Research Council noted these deficiencies in a 2003
report. The council, an arm of the National Academy of Sciences, found
that lie detectors can be useful for ferreting out the truth in
specific incidents, but are unreliable for screening prospective
national security employees for trustworthiness.

"Its accuracy in distinguishing actual or potential security violators
from innocent test takers is insufficient to justify reliance on its
use in employee security screening in federal agencies," the council
concluded. "Polygraph testing as currently used has extremely serious
limitations in such screening applications, if the intent is both to
identify security risks and protect valued employees."

John Sullivan, a polygrapher with the CIA for 31 years, noted that
turncoat Aldrich Ames, a CIA mole for the Soviets, beat a polygraph
test twice.

But the prospect of facing a polygraph can deter future security
violations, according to the council's report. That prospect also
increases the frequency of admission of violations—taking home
classified documents, for example—and discourages people who may be
security risks from applying.

"Right now the polygraph is the best tool they have at their hands but
it's not a tool that's without problems," Honts said.

The increase in lie detection at the DIA is three years in the making.
In 2005 the agency's director announced plans to test every
prospective new DIA hire, whether a permanent federal worker or
contract employee.

The DIA would not say how many prospective, current and past employees
are screened annually, but a 2002 report to Congress said the agency
conducted 1,345 counterintelligence polygraphs. It also said the
Defense Department had an average of about 160 government polygraphers
on its payroll annually for the last decade. The Pentagon's
polygraphing institute trains all polygraphers for the government. It
produced 84 new examiners in 2002, according to the latest publicly
available statistics.

Until 2004, Congress severely limited the Pentagon's authority to
conduct polygraphs for counterintelligence purposes. From 1988 to
1990, it could conduct 10,000 a year. From 1990 to 2004, that number
was cut to 5,000. Congress lifted that cap in 2004 at the request of
the Defense Department.

Polygraph sessions are typically three- to four-hour interrogations. A
person is hooked up to a machine that measures physiological
responses. The subject is asked a series of "yes" and "no" questions.
The machine records changes in blood pressure, respiration and heart
rate and electrical activity in the skin. The polygrapher interprets
that data to determine whether the answers show inconsistencies or
indicate deception, based on established parameters

An unclassified DIA document describing the new effort says the
contractor hired to perform the exams will conduct a minimum of 4,550
a year in 13 new polygraph studios. The polygraphers would have to
work at a brisk pace to meet the target: Each studio would need to
complete 350 sessions a year to meet contract specifications. Those 13
new studios would be added to the eight now manned by DIA
polygraphers. All would be overseen by DIA personnel.

The document says that the agency will, f

Pentagon considers independent operations in Pakistani tribal belt
Afp, Washington

Senior Pentagon officials are debating whether the US military should
undertake independent operations against Islamic militants operating
in Pakistan's northwestern tribal areas, The Los Angeles Times
reported yesterday.The newspaper said these internal debates followed
US intelligence warnings that al-Qaeda and other militant groups are
consolidating their hold on northwestern Pakistan.

The report came as Pakistani soldiers killed up to 35 militants in a
massive offensive in northwest Pakistan, and at least six people were
killed in separate bomb attacks, according to Pakistani military and
police officials.

Troops are battling Taliban militants in the Swat valley in North West
Frontier Province where the violence has left dozens of dead and  
wounded.


But there is a growing belief within the US government that the new
leadership in Islamabad has proved to be ineffectual in the fight
against the militants.

"Radical terrorist groups in the border regions have undermined and
fought against the central government of Pakistan and carved out
sanctuaries and training bases," an unnamed senior US officer in
Afghanistan is quoted by The Times as saying. "They have come back,
and they are presenting a significant challenge."

A team of as many as 30 trainers was supposed be sent to Pakistan this
summer to operate out of a base near the northwestern city of Peshawar.

But Pentagon officials said the training has been blocked by the
Pakistani government for months, in part because of anger over the
June killing of 11 Frontier Corps members in a US airstrike near the
Afghan border.

Editorial
A New Rush to Spy

There is apparently no limit to the Bush administration's desire to
invade Americans' privacy in the name of national security. According
to members of Congress, Attorney General Michael Mukasey is preparing
to give the F.B.I. broad new authority to investigate Americans —
without any clear basis for suspicion that they are committing a crime.

Opening the door to sweeping investigations of this kind would be an
invitation to the government to spy on people based on their race,
religion or political activities. Before Mr. Mukasey goes any further,
Congress should insist that the guidelines be fully vetted, and it
should make certain that they do not pose a further threat to
Americans' civil liberties.

Mr. Mukasey has not revealed the new guidelines. But according to
senators whose staff have been given limited briefings, the rules may
also authorize the F.B.I. to use an array of problematic investigative
techniques. Among these are pretext interviews, in which agents do not
honestly represent themselves while questioning a subject's neighbors
and work colleagues.

Four Democratic Senators — Russ Feingold of Wisconsin, Sheldon
Whitehouse of Rhode Island, Richard Durbin of Illinois and Edward
Kennedy of Massachusetts — have written to Mr. Mukasey and urged him
not to sign the guidelines until they are publicly announced and
national security and civil liberties experts have had a chance to
analyze them.

We concur, and we would add that there should be full Congressional
hearings so Americans can learn what new powers the government intends
to take on.

The F.B.I. has a long history of abusing its authority to spy on
domestic groups, including civil rights and anti-war activists, and
there is a real danger that the new rules would revive those dark days.

Clearly, the Bush administration cannot be trusted to get the balance
between law enforcement and civil liberties right. It has repeatedly
engaged in improper and illegal domestic spying — notably in the
National Security Agency's warrantless eavesdropping program.

The F.B.I. and the White House no doubt want to push the changes
through before a new president is elected. There is no reason to rush
to adopt rules that have such important civil liberties implications.

F. Gay and F. William EngdahlThe Peoples VoiceAugust 22, 2008A mathematical proof that there is no “climate crisis” has been published in debate on global warming in Physics and Society, a scientific publication of the 46,000-strong American Physical Society.Christopher Monckton, who once advised Margaret Thatcher, demonstrates via 30 equations that computer models used by the UN’s climate panel (IPCC) were pre-programmed with overstated values for the three variables whose product is “climate sensitivity” (temperature increase in response to greenhouse-gas increase), resulting in a 500-2000% overstatement of CO2’s effect on temperature in the IPCC’s latest climate assessment report, published in 2007.The article, entitled Climate Sensitivity Reconsidered demonstrates that later this century a doubling of the concentration of CO2 compared with pre-industrial levels will increase global mean surface temperature not by the 6 °F predicted by the IPCC but, harmlessly, by little more than 1 °F. Lord Monckton concludes – “… Perhaps real-world climate sensitivity is very much below the IPCC’s estimates. Perhaps, therefore, there is no ‘climate crisis’ at all. … The correct policy approach to a non-problem is to have the courage to do nothing.”Larry Gould, Professor of Physics at the University of Hartford and Chair (2004) of the New England Section of the American Physical Society (APS), has been studying climate-change science for four years. He said: “I was impressed by an hour-long academic lecture which criticized claims about ‘global warming’ and explained the implications of the physics of radiative transfer for climate change. I was pleased that the audience responded to the informative presentation with a prolonged, standing ovation. That is what happened when, at the invitation of the President of our University, Christopher Monckton lectured here in Hartford this spring. I am delighted that Physics and Society, an APS journal, has published his detailed paper refining and reporting his important and revealing results. “To me the value of this paper lies in its dispassionate but ruthlessly clear exposition – or, rather, exposé – of the IPCC’s method of evaluating climate sensitivity. The detailed arguments in this paper, and, indeed, in a large number of other scientific papers, point up extensive errors, including numerous projection errors of climate models, as well as misleading statements by the IPCC. Consequently, there are no rational grounds for believing either the IPCC or any other claims of dangerous anthropogenic ‘global warming’.”Lord Monckton’s paper reveals that – ? The IPCC’s 2007 climate summary overstated CO2’s impact on temperature by 500-2000%; ? CO2 enrichment will add little more than 1 °F (0.6 °C) to global mean surface temperature by 2100; ? Not one of the three key variables whose product is climate sensitivity can be measured directly; ? The IPCC’s values for these key variables are taken from only four published papers, not 2,500; ? The IPCC’s values for each of the three variables, and hence for climate sensitivity, are overstated; ? “Global warming” halted ten years ago, and surface temperature has been falling for seven years; ? Not one of the computer models relied upon by the IPCC predicted so long and rapid a cooling; ? The IPCC inserted a table into the scientists’ draft, overstating the effect of ice-melt by 1000%; ? It was proved 50 years ago that predicting climate more than two weeks ahead is impossible; ? Mars, Jupiter, Neptune’s largest moon, and Pluto warmed at the same time as Earth warmed; ? In the past 70 years the Sun was more active than at almost any other time in the past 11,400 years. Global Warming gets the Cold Freeze Global warming hoax exposed by record global cold by F. William Engdahl The media and governmental hype over a danger from global warming that already is allegedly causing the polar icecaps to melt and threaten a global climate catastrophe, looks more and more like the political hype it is. This year to date, snow cover over North America and much of Siberia, Mongolia and China is greater than at any time since 1966. According to the US National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) many American cities and towns have suffered record cold temperatures in January and early February. According to the NCDC, the average temperature in January "was - 0.3 F cooler than the 1901-2000 average." China is surviving its most brutal winter in one hundred years. Temperatures in the normally mild south were low for so long that some middle-sized cities went weeks without electricity because once power lines had toppled it was too cold or too icy to repair them. There have been so many snow and ice storms in Ontario and Quebec in the past two month

Report: British MI5 criticized for involvement in torture, rendition
www.chinaview.cn 2008-08-22 18:49:49Print

   LONDON, Aug. 22 (Xinhua) -- British secret service MI5 was
criticized for its involvement in torture, rendition of a British
resident now held in Guantanamo Bay, British newspaper The Guardian
revealed in a report on Friday.

   The report said that British high court found in a judgment that
MI5 participated in the unlawful interrogation of a British resident,
Binyam Mohamed, 30, an Ethiopian national, which raised the serious
questions about the conduct of British secret services.

   One MI5 officer, who was so concerned about incriminating himself
that he initially declined to answer questions from the judges even in
private, was later questioned about alleged war crimes under the
international criminal court act, including torture, said the
judgment. But the full evidence surrounding the officer's evidence,
and the judges' findings, remain secret.

   The MI5 officer interrogated Mohamed while he was being held in
Pakistan in 2002, and he was later secretly rendered to Morocco, where
he was tortured by having his penis cut with a razor blade, said the
report.

   And the U.S. subsequently flew him to Afghanistan, and in
September 2004, he was transferred to Guantanamo Bay.

   "The conduct of the security service facilitated interviews by or
on behalf of the United States when [Mohamed] was being detained by
the United States incommunicado and without access to a lawyer." Lord
Justice Thomas and Mr. Justice Lloyd Jones said in the judgment,
adding, "Under the law of Pakistan, that detention was unlawful."

   In their ruling, the judges found that MI5 "continued to
facilitate" the interviewing of Mohamed at the behest of the U.S. even
after he was secretly flown out of Pakistan.

   It did so by providing information to America although its
officers "must also have appreciated" he was being detained and
questioned in a facility which was "that of a foreign government", and
that government is believed to be Morocco, said the judges.

   The report said that the Home Office last month declined the use
of torture or inhumane treatment.

   "All security service staff have an awareness of the Human Rights
Act 1998, and are fully committed to complying with the requirements
of the law when working in the UK and overseas." the ministry said on
behalf of the MI5.

   It added that the security and intelligence agencies "do not
participate in, solicit, encourage or condone the use of torture or
inhumane or degrading treatment".

   According to the report, Mohamed is due to be tried for terrorist
offenses before a U.S. military commission in Guantanamo Bay as a
result of confessions he said were extracted by torture. And he would
face the death penalty if found guilty.

   Without information held by the British government, he could not
have a fair trial "as he will not be able to try to establish the only
answer he has to the confessions - namely that they were involuntary
and abstracted from him by wrongful treatment", the judges said.

   The judges will decide which documents about the case must be
released after a private court hearing next week, said the report.

The mighty greenback has surged 6% in the last month alone. Wow. Apparently, the early reports of the dollar’s demise have been greatly exaggerated. The euro, on the other hand, has been caught in the same recessionary-downdraft that is buffeting a number of other currencies, all of which are unwinding at the same time although unevenly. Currency markets don’t move in straight lines. But don’t be fooled, most paper money is steadily losing value due to the unprecedented expansion of credit which started at the Federal Reserve. Investors are moving to cash and hunkering down; the stock and bond markets are just too risky and real estate is in a shambles. As Greenspan’s massive equity bubble continues to lose gas, balance sheets will have to be mended and lending will slow to a crawl. At present, Germany’s slowdown and Spain’s housing crash are drawing most of the attention but, the spotlight is shifting fast. Next week it could be shining down on the America’s failing banking system or poor corporate-earnings reports in the US. Then it will be the dollar marching off to the gallows.Europe’s troubles have put to rest to idea that other countries can “decouple” from the US and prosper without the help of the US consumer. That might be true in the long-term, but falling demand is already visible everywhere. Retail and auto sales are taking a thumping and 2009 is shaping up to be even tougher. It’s looking more and more like the European Central Bank was faked-out by the early signs of inflation and missed the deflationary sledgehammer that was about to come crashing down. It was a rookie error by European Central Bank (ECB) chief Jean Claude Trichet and it could cost him his job. Raising interest rates while sliding into the jaws of recession is madness. Now all of Europe is headed for a hard landing and there’s no way to soften the blow. The ECB doesn’t have the same tools as the Fed; Trichet can’t simply backstop the whole system with green paper and T-Bills like Bernanke. He can either slash rates or sit on his hands and hope for the best.The UK Telegraph’s Ambrose Evans-Pritchard, sums up Europe’s woes in last week’s article “ECB Slammed as Europe Crumbles”:“The economies of Germany, France and Italy all contracted in the first quarter and may now be in full recession, shattering assumptions that Europe would prove able to shrug off the effects of the credit crunch….The picture is darkening so fast in Spain that Prime Minister Jose Luis Zapatero canceled holidays and called his cabinet back to Madrid yesterday for the first emergency session of its kind since the Franco dictatorship.Growth has turned negative in Ireland, Denmark, Latvia, and Estonia, while grinding to a halt in Sweden and The Netherlands. Iceland contracted by a staggering 3.7pc. The grim data from Eurostat follows a recession warning in Britain, and shock news that the Japanese economy had shrunk 0.6pc in the second quarter. Almost the entire bloc of rich Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries - still two thirds of the world economy - are now in the grip of a major downturn.”Evans-Pritchard’s article reads like a chapter from the Book of Revelation all that’s missing is the plague of locusts. The ECB is in a pickle and will have to allow the economy to cool off so the credit excesses can work themselves out. It’s like a pig passing through the belly of the boa; it takes time. As a result, deficits are expected to soar in the south (particularly Spain, Greece and Italy) while growth in the industrial north, Germany, will continue to shrink. Also, Spain, Ireland and England are undergoing the biggest housing meltdown in history after indulging in the same mortgage hanky-panky that took place in the US. Billions of dollars of low interest loans, that were issued to unqualified mortgage applicants, are gumming up the whole system and sending foreclosures skyrocketing. Now the losses have to be written down and thousands of unoccupied houses sold at auction. It’s a disaster.The problem is so big that the future of the EU and the euro are now very much in doubt. Currency traders are expecting the ECB to lower rates (and weaken the euro) just as the future’s market is wagering that the Fed will raise rates to fight inflation. But don’t bet on it. Interest rates are going down not up, regardless of the Fed’s impressive PR campaign. Bernanke is just waiting for Trichet to make his move befo

Poland probes existence of secret CIA jails in Poland
07:45:51 Þ.Ù
Poland's judiciary has launched an investigation over the existence of
secret CIA jails in Poland, media reports said Friday.

According to the Spokesman of the Polish prosecutor's office, Maciej
Kujaweski, the probe is only in its early phase.

He did not reveal any further details, citing confidentiality.

Poland's Chief Prosecutor, Marek Staszak is reportedly heading the
three week-old investigation, the private Polish radio Zet said.

International human rights groups have accused Poland and Romania of
tolerating secret CIA jails on their territories.

Based on a report published by the lead investigator for the Council
of Europe, Dick Marty, the existence of CIA prisons in Eastern Europe
had been proven.

Marty's 100-page report said the prisons were operated exclusively by
Americans in Poland and Romania from 2003 to 2006.

The report relied primarily on testimony from CIA operatives.

Poland has strongly denied the charges.
