House approves Patriot Act renewal - Approval sends measure to Bush's desk before expiration March 7, 2006 (excerpt) http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/03/07/patriot.act/ WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Congress on Tuesday renewed controversial provisions of the USA Patriot Act, the 2001 law passed weeks after the September 11 attacks to help the government investigate and capture possible terrorists. The approval in the House of Representatives, by a vote of 280-138, sent the measure to President Bush for his signature. The Senate last week voted 89-10 to approve the compromise package, which covers 16 provisions in the act that are set to expire on March 10. clip.. --- Bush Orders DHS to Create Center for Faith-Based Aid By Spencer S.

Democrats clamored for a vote in the Senate, too. By 62-2, the House Appropriations Committee voted to bar DP World, run by the government of Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, from holding leases or contracts at U.S. ports. The landslide vote was the strongest signal yet that more than three weeks of White House efforts to stunt congressional opposition to the deal have not been successful. clip.. --- Israel will have to act on Iran if UN can't Mar 8, 06 Louis Charbonneau (excerpt) http://today.reuters.com/news/newsarticle.aspx?type=worldNewsstoryid=2006-03-08T142833Z_01_L08205988_RTRUKOC_0_US-NUCLEAR-IRAN-ISRAEL.xml BERLIN (Reuters) - If the U.N.

US courts forced the U.S. government to allow OTI inon the USA biometric `epassport' program just weeksago. OTI is the contractor for China secret police forthe biometric ID card now coming online,http://(www.smartcardalliance.org./newsletter/April2003.cfm). That means that the same company that works for theChina secret police will have a role in providing allU.S. citizens with their future passports-by courtorder. National ID smart cards, already at work in China, areused to spy on students. According to American Banker online, "Chineseofficials who administer a graduate school admissionsexam are using China's national ID smart cards andcontactless terminals to identify test takers. "Prospective students who carry the new Chinesenational ID card, a contactless card that is replacinga paper ID card, must tap the card against a terminalso examiners can verify their identifies. Those withthe old ID card place it near a terminal that uses aspecial light to see if the photo has been tamperedwith. "In January, 107,000 people sat for the exam at 72testing sites in Beijing." A report in the People's Daily Online says the IDcards are checked to prevent cheating by examineeshiring substitutes to take the term test for them. Thepaper notes that as competition for graduate schooladmission increases the potential for cheating, too. China Vision, one of 10 vendors supplying terminalsfor the Chinese national ID card project, tells CardTechnology China that the readers can read the data onthe chip in as little as eight-tenths of a second.China Vision says the terminals range in price from$249 to $1,243, depending on their configurations. Other parts of China's society, outside of government,are also starting to use the national ID card toidentify individuals. Banks, hotels and Internet cafesare among them. In the Peoples Republic of China, national ID cardsare big business. Chinese officials have projectedissuing some 800 million of the new ID cards to everycitizen 16 and older by 2008.

The ball would be weightless. A taut string is all that is necessary for an elevator to ride up and down it.Before 1990 this was just a theoretical dream relegated to the stories of Arthur C. Clark. However, about 15 years ago some scientist discovered the carbon-nanotube––a substance 100 times stronger than steal but only weighing a fifth as much.A thread of nanotube string could fit through the eye of a needle and be strong enough to lift a Cadillac STS – Northstar and all. A ribbon of this material would be strong (and flexible) enough to life a 747-sized cable car to the stars.There is a company called LiftPort Group that just built a 15,000-square-foot nanotube facility in Millville, New Jersey. I’m currently trying to arrange a tour. The company recently launched an observation and communications platform a full mile into the air and maintained it in a stationary position for more than six hours over the desert of Arizona.During this time, 5’6” robotic lifters climbed up and down a ribbon attached to the platform.I’ll talk more about nanotubes and how they will change everything from golf clubs to automobiles on another day.

The Times quoted Patrick Ollier, president of the economic affairs committee in France's National Assembly, as saying an outline agreement "should be signed in the next two weeks." Following Moammar Gadhafi's decision to compensate the victims of the 1988 Lockerbie bombing* and renounce weapons of mass destruction, the former pariah has seen his country welcomed back into the realm of diplomacy. "President Gadhafi brought all that was necessary for France and Europe to (welcome him into) the community of nations," Ollier said in the Times. "The Libyans are trying to open all their markets to the outside world but we are in competition with the Spanish, the Italians, the British and even, in oil, the Americans. Total (the French oil group) tried, but most of the (oil) contracts were taken by the Americans and the British." The agreement, which will be conditional upon Libya cooperating with the International Atomic Energy Agency, will cover a civilian nuclear program for the production of energy. Following the renouncing of its nuclear weapons ambitions in December 2003, Libya was allowed to continue using nuclear power for civilian purposes. Nuclear analysts see little cause for concern in Libya's nuclear program, as the country will not be enriching its own uranium, and its nuclear facilities will be under IAEA supervision.

[cia_tradecraft] More non-Gentile thinking / Jewish Settlers Attack Palestinian Children-UN Report
Sent: Thursday, March 09, 2006 7:44 PM Subject: More non-Gentile thinking / Jewish Settlers Attack Palestinian Children-UN Report Hamas throws a hardball Hamas fires its first political volley: that before negotiations can occur, Israel must recognise Palestine, writes Khaled Amayreh in the West Bank One month ahead of Israeli general elections, Israeli political parties are vying to woo an increasingly jingoistic Jewish public to their respective camps. As may have been expected, their main tool of attracting voters is hateful anti-Palestinian rhetoric. This week, a spate of vitriolic, racist and even bellicose statements against the Palestinian Authority (PA) and the Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas, coloured the Israeli elections campaign. The often-base litany started immediately after Hamas's electoral victory on 25 January, when Likud Chairman Benyamin Netanyahu compared the Islamic movement's triumph with Hitler's rise to power in Germany in the mid-1930s. Netanyahu -- a master of bombastic sound bites -- didn't bother to explain how a ravaged people languishing under a sinister military occupation who have a hard time feeding their own children and a even harder time accessing their schools, hospitals and places of work, thanks to ubiquitous Israeli army roadblocks, can be compared to the nefarious Third Reich which destroyed Europe and caused the deaths of tens of millions. Netanyahu's analogy drew no negative reactions from Israeli society. Quite to the contrary, leaders of nearly all Jewish political parties, including the Labour Party headed by the purportedly "moderate" Amir Peretz, sought to out-manoeuvre Netanyahu by prominently featuring a decidedly anti-Palestinian discourse in all their proclamations. Take, for example, Tzivi Livni, the former Likud extremist, who now serves as Israel's foreign minister. Other Israeli parties, especially on the right and the extreme right, continue to argue over which approach should be adopted toward the "so- called Palestinians". The more pragmatic parties, such as the Likud, propose apartheid-like arrangements in the West Bank, where Palestinians are packed in Bantustans and enclaves until they become fed up with their misery and subsequently emigrate. The more Talmudic-minded parties, such as the National Union and National Religious Party (Mifdal), propose three alternatives for dealing with Palestinians: enslavement whereby non-Jews living under Jewish law are forced to become "water carriers and wood hewers," expulsion, or outright extermination. Interestingly, these "alternatives" encompass not only Palestinians in the West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza, but Israel's Palestinian citizens as well -- so-called Israeli-Arabs. Putting Talmudic whims aside, the Israeli government has actually stepped up its efforts to further narrow Palestinian horizons, employing a combination of psychological war, vitriolic propaganda and disinformation, as well as draconian and extremely repressive measures on the ground. Indeed, while telling the international community that Israel is not interested in starving Palestinian children, Israeli officials have indicated that they are willing and ready to blockade Palestinian population centres and induce a "diet", as suggested by Israeli government official Dov Weisglass last week. In the past, Israeli occupation soldiers, acting like armed robbers in broad daylight, stormed Palestinian banks and seized millions of dollars in cash. Indeed, there is no guarantee that the perpetually nervous Israeli political-military establishment won't do it again to realise the ultimate Israeli goal of bringing the Palestinians to their knees. As if severe economic pressure and acts like seizing Palestinian tax money were not enough, one Israeli security official actually threatened this week to assassinate Ismail Haniya, the next Palestinian prime minister, if a "single terrorist act" is carried out from this point forward. Avi Dichter, former head of the Shin Bet, Israel's chief domestic intelligence agency, said that Haniya and his colleagues had no immunity from assassination. Needless to say, this must be music to the ears of hundreds of thousands of anti-Palestinian Jewish voters who will not have a hard time choosing a candidate on 28 March. The propinquity of the Israeli elections is certainly a factor in these shrill and hyperbolic statements. Indeed, it is well known in Israel that the most effective way of gaining support among the Israeli Jewish public is by demonstrating one's harshness, bloodiness, and criminality towards the Palestinians. This explains the election by Israelis of such notorious and certified war criminals as Ehud Barak and Ariel Sharon, to mention just two. Nonetheless, it seems amply clear that Israel views the election of Hamas by a majority of Palestinians as a clear political challenge. Hamas has been arguing loudly -- and

[cia_tradecraft] Lockerbie the FBI - Fakes Bureau International?
Title: Lockerbie & the FBI - Fakes Bureau International? Sent: Thursday, March 09, 2006 5:07 PM Subject: Lockerbie the FBI - Fakes Bureau International? - Original Message - From: FPF To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: The New York Times Direct Sent: Wednesday, March 08, 2006 8:17 AM Subject: Lockerbie the FBI - Fakes Bureau International? Lockerbie the FBI - Fakes Bureau International?The FBI put pressure on the Scottish police to ensure evidence was "swept under the carpet". This way the FBI avoided any embarrassment in the run-up to the framing of Libya in the Lockerbie trial where - according to the UK police - the evidence was fabricated by the CIA.*by Henk RuyssenaarsFPF - Europe - March 8, 2006 - In England today, the Scotsman paper again has an article about the unjust influence the US secret police can have on foreign police investigations and their 'justice apparatus'. To make matters worse these malversations by the US spooks anew direct the attention to the framed court case against Libya, and the crash of the PANAM plane in Lockerbie.* The ''sweeping under the carpet'' in Scotland was done in connection with the CIA preparing the mainstream media lies and fabricating false evidence for the 'show trial' in Kamp Zeist in The Netherlands. In this - according to the UN observer 'miscarriage of justice'* concerning the Lockerbie drama, the CIA was 'fixing the evidence around the politics'* In this McKie case forensic experts were forced to give false testimony. - Url.: http://tinyurl.com/mucdr - ''Senior staff in the fingerprint laboratory said they had misgivings over the evidence but had been urged to "fall in line with the evidence''. Under the title ''FBI ordered McKie case swept under carpet'' the Scotsman publishes the following: ''Pan Am investigator Juval Aviv revealed US agents put pressure on SCRO - McKie faced trial for perjury after denying she left a print at a crime scene - MPs have called for a public inquiry. "THIS REVELATION MAKES THE CASE FOR AN INQUIRY ABSOLUTELY COMPELLING. IF MINISTERS KNEW ABOUT THIS, THEY SHOULD HAVE DISCLOSED IT TO PARLIAMENT EARLIER." - SNP MSP ALEX NEILJuval Aviv, who was Pan Am's senior Lockerbie investigator, said officers from the Federal Bureau of Investigation traveled to Scotland to pressure the Scottish Criminal Record Office (SCRO) into a swift resolution of the McKie fingerprint case. Mr Aviv said that during discussions with two senior members of staff in the fingerprint laboratory at SCRO in 1999 or 2000, both told him they had misgivings over the evidence against Ms McKie but had been urged to "fall in line with the evidence". Campaigners and politicians, some of whom will tomorrow hold a press conference on the possible links between the two cases, said Mr Aviv's revelation reinforced the urgent need for a public inquiry into the whole McKie affair. The SCRO admitted last night that the FBI met its officers to talk about Lockerbie but vehemently denied any comments were made about the McKie case.LIBYANS FRAMED FOR BOMBING PAN AM FLIGHT 103 IN 1988 Mr Aviv's accusations center on an intense period of activity leading up to the trial of two Libyans accused of bombing Pan Am Flight 103 in 1988.* Part of the case against Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed al-Megrahi involved a contentious fingerprint lifted from a travel document in Malta. The fingerprint had only 12 matching points to suspected bomber Megrahi; many courts require 16 matching points. Although the SCRO had nothing to do with identifying it, the credibility of the fingerprint was important. In 1999, a year before the trial was due to get under way at Kamp Zeist, the McKie controversy blew up. The Strathclyde policewoman had been put on trial for perjury after denying she had left a fingerprint at the scene of a crime. However, scores of international fingerprint experts said the disputed print was not hers and she was acquitted. THE REVELATION PUT AT RISK THE CREDIBILITY OF SCOTLAND'S FINGERPRINT SERVICE. Mr Aviv said it was about this time the FBI flew to Scotland. "I heard about the [McKie] case and FBI putting pressure on the labs. I received phone calls from sources within the fingerprint lab saying the FBI visited Scotland and met with people in charge to discuss falling in line with the [McKie] evidence. They met several times and they co-ordinated actions." He went on: "[The SCRO] was under pressure from the FBI to manufacture evidence to suit this trial and convict the Libyan. [The FBI told it] any scandal that could taint this evidence could really interfere with Lockerbie and should be put under the carpet." MR AVIV SAID THE FBI VISIT WAS PART OF A LARGER EFFORT TO GAIN CONSENSUS AMONG SCOTTISH INVESTIGATORS OVER LOCKERBIE EVIDENCE. HE SAID: "THE SOURCES WERE APPALLED. THAT'S ONE THING THAT YOU DO NOT DO - INTERFERE WITH A COURT CASE IN THE HAGUE AND ACCUSE TWO PEOPLE WHO COULD GET LIFE IN PRISON WITH
