[CTRL] Fwd: [CIA-DRUGS] MILLIONS OF SHARES SOLD ON EVE OF DISASTER

2001-09-19 Thread Kris Millegan





Mike,

I am finding sound evidence supporting several contrary conclusions.

The things that support the Bin Ladin theory:

1)  The assassination of Bin Ladin's rival 2 days before the WTC.  This timing
looks suspicious.

2)  The stock purchases of Bin Ladin.  This tooked to me like the typical
evidence laid out to convict in the minds of the public and it would not
surprise me in the least if the outlet for such planted evidence would be the
Mellon Scaife network.  Your own sources seem from what you have written to
support this contention.  It is important to know who these sources are.

The things that do not seem to support the Bin Ladin conclusion are:

1)  The PENTAGON plane that took the extra danger to bank to an insignificant
section of the PENTAGON to spare the JOINT CHIEFS.  That does not seem to be what
real terrorists would do.

2)  Planted evidence like the passport of one of the WTC pilots that was found on
the street below.  That reminds me of the magic bullet that was found on the
streacher at PARKLAND HOSPITAL.

3)  Why would the terrorists leave a rented car at LOGAN with flight training
manuals in Arabic?  This looks planted.

4)  Why would the terrorists use their own IDs?  If they could use military secure
phones and find the codes for the president's SECRET SERVICE detail how come they
did not use doctored IDs?  No one claimed credit for the attack.  Why would these
guys leave a trail?

 CIA PROBE: MILLIONS OF SHARES SOLD ON EVE OF DISASTER; DID BIN LADEN
 PULL OFF THE SICKEST SHARE DEAL EVER?
 DAILY MAIL
 09/18/01

 The CIA has asked the City regulators in London to investigate
 suspicious sales of millions of shares before last Tuesday's attacks
 in America in the belief that the paper trail will lead to the
 terrorists.

 MORE

 Osama Bin Laden could have pulled off a sick financial coup shortly
 before the attacks that devastated America.

 Britain's City watchdog, the Financial Services Authority, has
 launched an inquiry into unusual share price movements in London
 before last week's atrocities.

 Other investigations have been launched in the U.S., Germany, Japan
 and Italy. The authorities fear that the Saudi-born multi-
 millionaire's followers might have used a technique known as 'short
 selling' shares in commodities such as insurance companies, airlines
 and tourism which they knew would plunge after the attack.

 Short selling involves borrowing shares from a broker, then selling
 them.

 You use the money raised to buy the shares when the price has gone
 down, give them to the broker and pocket the difference.

 So if you sold a million shares at GBP 8 each, and they then went
 down to GBP 5, you could make a quick GBP 3million less the broker's
 fees and commission.

 'It would be a particularly ghoulish kind of insider dealing,' said
 one source.

 'But if we find anyone profiteering out of the tragedy it could be a
 good lead for the investigation into exactly who is responsible.'

 The authorities are also looking for any unusual buying activity in
 sectors likely to go up, such as building or arms manufacturers.

 Germany's security watchdog has launched an inquiry into 'suspect'
 share price movements in the run-up to the atrocities.

 It is expected to home in on Munich Re, the world's biggest
 reinsurer, which lost 13 per cent of its value in the week before the
 attacks.

 Fellow reinsurer Swiss Re and the French insurance giant Axa also
 suffered price falls before the outrage.

 In cases of widespread short selling, the brokers start to follow the
 trend to cover themselves and this can force the market down.

 U.S. Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill said: 'We are going to track
 down every terrorist and confiscate their money wherever it is in the
 world.

 'And I think we'll have the co-operation of every financial
 institution in every civilised society.

 'We're going to shut these people down.'

 A similar investigation is under way in Japan, where it is believed
 to be focusing on dealings in futures contracts.

 In the futures market, investors bet on the future price of shares or
 commodities and can make enormous gains if their gambles prove
 correct.

 Bin Laden comes from a wealthy Saudi business family and is believed
 to have financial tentacles reaching across the globe.

 He is reported to have used a Milan brokerage to invest in European
 stock markets.

 The Swiss authorities are also looking closely at his links with
 their country's

'MIDAS' COMMENTARY FOR SEPTEMBER 18, 2001
COPYRIGHT 2001, WWW.LEMETROPOLECAFE.COM

By Bill Murphy
www.LeMetropoleCafe.com
September 18, 2001

  Gold $286.50 down 95 cents
  Silver $4.43 up 6 cents 

The drama behind the scenes in the gold market has 
never been more intense. The reckless behavior of the 
Gold Cartel to continue to suppress the price of gold, 
after the world completely changed a week ago, is not 
only insidious and criminal -- it is going to go down 
as one of the most foolish and irresponsible financial 
maneuvers of all time. 

This is how I see what is going on here. 

For the second day in a row, the goons have sold down 
gold on the Comex after strong fixes in London. 
Yesterday's PM fix was $293.25. Today it was $289.40. 
The daily trading charts in New York are practically 
identical. Right after the PM fixes, the likes of J.P. 
Morgan Chase and Goldman Sachs slam gold and the longs 
on Comex. 

There is a reason for that.  

Serious physical buyers who want to buy gold in size do 
so at the London fixes. That is because that is where 
the big sellers are too, and large gold buyers can 
conduct business without running the price up too much. 
The Gold Cartel waits until that business is finished, 
so as not to take on the buyers, and then tries to 
break down the gold price at the vulnerable Comex. 

It could not be more obvious what the desperado cabal 
is doing. But I don't think it is going to work this 
time. 

* Demand for physical gold right now is soaring all 
over the world and physical gold is hard to buy. Coin 
dealer after coin dealer tells me the same thing. Even 
if the coin dealers can get gold for you, the price is 
way above that quoted on Comex. A friend of mine paid 
$301 for Kruggerands today, which is down from $306 
yesterday. The comment is always the same if you want 
to buy: Forget the Comex price; the real gold world 
price is higher than on Comex. 

* The terrorist attacks on U.S. soil have changed 
everything in terms of the notion of what a safe haven 
is. That is not going to change anytime soon. Investors 
all over the world are turning to gold again. The 
problem for the central banks and bullion banks is that 
they have about 14,000 tonnes of it lent out and can't 
get it back without driving the price many hundreds of 
dollars per ounce higher. They are in sheer panic that 
another Washington Agreement kind of surprise is upon 
them. But this one is 10 times worse. Herve Fervani, 
one of the senior executives at the Banque de France, 
has repeatedly warned other bankers about lending gold 
out for such little interest income, because he said in 
the end they might not get their gold back. Defaults of 
that nature could be right around the corner. 

Cafe members know all about that drill so I shall not 
go there again. Too many new goodies to go over.

U.S. Terrorist Attack Prompts Many
Asians to Buy Gold Jewelry 

By Rajat Bhattacharya 

Bangkok, Sept. 18 (Bloomberg) -- Consumers in Thailand, 
India and some other Asian countries reacted to the 
terrorist attacks in the United States by heading for 
the jewelry store to buy gold, retailers said. 

Buyers in Thailand, where gold demand dropped by half 
in the last five years, led a return to the precious 
metal as a haven for investment after terrorists 
destroyed New York's World Trade Center a week ago, 
sending stock prices tumbling. Asia purchases more than 
half of the world's gold each year and Thailand is the 
second-biggest gold buyer in Southeast Asia after 
Indonesia. 

We saw people storming into our stores to buy gold, 
said Jitti Tangsithpakdi, president of goldsmiths Chin 
Hua Heng and president of the Thai Gold Traders' 
Association. Last Wednesday, traders sold as much gold 
jewelry as they did in an average month this year, he 
said… 

In India, the largest gold buyer, sales also 
increased. 

My sales have gone up 25 to 30 percent, said Pratip 
Zaveri, director at Tribhovandas Bhimji Zaveri, India's 
biggest jewelry retailer. The rising prices lured some 
people to buy gold as a investment, he said. They've 
seen prices moving up again after a long time. 

India makes more than one-fifth of all gold jewelry and 
exports more than $8 billion worth each year. 

With interest rates so low, and stock markets down, 
gold remains the best investment, said Jitti. Other 
investments are simply not that interesting. 

Thailand's benchmark stock index has lost two-thirds of 
its value in the past five years. 

In China, the second-biggest gold user in Asia, 
consumer demand may also be boosted by deregulation of 
the market. The price of gold, which was freed from 
government control in July, has risen 6 percent in the 
past week, to 90 yuan a gram. 

Gold is great because it appreciates in value and is a 
good store for value, said Meng Fanqiang, 32, who 
bought a 1,700 yuan ($205) bracelet for his wife from 
Ming Pai

Government Has Power To Curb Some Freedoms

By WILLIAM GLABERSON

The New York Times

The Constitution does not give the government sweeping emergency powers
to limit civil liberties. But legal experts say the courts have effectively ceded
to the government vast powers to limit many freedoms when the nation's
security was threatened in the past.

As a result, the debates in Washington and state legislatures about limiting
civil liberties to battle terrorism could be decisive because many of the new
limits may never receive rigorous court review.

The courts have always interpreted the limits on government action much
differently during times of national crisis, said Michael C. Dorf, a professor
of constitutional law at Columbia Law School. So as a matter of practical
fact, the government has emergency powers.

Attorney General John Ashcroft is pressing Congress for a series of new anti-
terrorism laws, including measures that would expand electronic surveillance
and the search powers of law enforcement officials. In New York, Attorney
General Eliot L. Spitzer has called for a law expanding wiretap authority, and
the State Senate passed such a bill on Monday. Other states are expected to
consider similar measures.

While courts will retain the power to hear challenges to any restrictions on
civil liberties that are part of the new laws, lawyers say the president's martial
language and popular sentiment will prompt judges to defer to government
officials in their reviews of such measures as expanding wiretapping efforts.

History is full of examples of the courts approving limits on civil liberties when
the country was perceived to be in danger.

The greater the threat, the greater the leeway the courts will give
government, said Peter H. Schuck, a professor at Yale Law School.

In one case that arose in World War I, a group of Socialists were arrested for
distributing pamphlets that urged peaceful opposition to the draft. The
demonstrators were tried and convicted under the Espionage Act, which
included provisions barring efforts to obstruct enlistment in the armed forces.

The arrests were upheld by the Supreme Court in 1919, which issued a
landmark opinion by Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr., who was often a
champion of First Amendment freedoms. During war, he wrote, statements
that might be protected in ordinary times could be barred.

The most stringent protection of free speech, Justice Holmes wrote, would
not protect a man in falsely shouting fire in a theater and causing a panic.

In an atmosphere of cold war anxieties in 1951, the Supreme Court approved
the conviction of leaders of the Communist Party for advocating the
overthrow of the government.

The opinion concluded that the need to bar even threats of violence against
the country was a substantial enough interest to limit First Amendment
freedoms.

Some precedents approving limits on civil liberties are now widely viewed to
have been constitutional errors that would not be repeated today. Many legal
experts say the Supreme Court's approval of the internment of Japanese-
Americans during World War II has been discredited. They say courts would
now strike down any such categorical measures against Arab-Americans
that might be contemplated.

But some lawyers say the more extreme court decisions of the past show
how easily judges can be swept up in a warlike mood. Those cases are now
seen as mistakes, said David Cole, a professor at the Georgetown
University Law Center. But we repeat our mistakes rather than learn from
them.

Some constitutional experts say the public in recent decades has come to
view many civil liberties — like the right to exchange political views — as
central to American life.

For that reason, some experts say courts might now be more willing to be
critical of the government than they have in the past.

Erwin Chemerinsky, a constitutional law expert at the University of Southern
California, said the Supreme Court's decision in the 1971 Pentagon Papers
case showed that modern courts could be independent of government
officials. In that case the court refused the government's request to block
publication of secret revelations about the Vietnam war for reasons of
national security.

Justice Potter Stewart wrote that publication could be stopped only if it would
surely result in direct, immediate and irreparable damage to our nation or its
people.

That test might be met by some of the measures now being considered, like
intercepting computer communications among suspected terrorists. But Mr.
Chemerinsky said he thought the courts would not rubber- stamp more
extreme measures. Wholesale strip searches at airports, he said, would
probably fail in the current Supreme Court.

This court is institutionally deferential, Mr. Chemerinsky said, but I don't
think this is a court that will say, `Anything goes.' 

But other constitutional law experts said the current justices would be
influenced by

Blowback chronicles
Giles Foden
Saturday September 15, 2001

During the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan, US officials passed billions in
funding and training to the mojahedin. The CIA, in particular while under the
direction of William Casey - head of the agency during the Reagan
administration - was the main manager of these operations. With the Russian
withdrawal in 1989, the CIA celebrated its victory with champagne. So says
Unholy Wars: Afghanistan, America and International Terrorism (Pluto Press,
£12.99), the definitive account by ABC journalist John Cooley.

and:

Cooley points out that while the State Department released a fact sheet on
bin Laden in 1997 (the year prior to the bombing of the East African
embassies), the document omits the background facts which help to explain
how early and close were his connections in the United States - making it
easier for the Reagan-Casey jihad team to enlist his talents and his
fortune.

and:

Everyone was getting along famously, according to Cooley. Delighted by his
impeccable Saudi credentials, the CIA gave Osama free rein in Afghanistan, as
did Pakistan's intelligence generals.
-

From an MSNBC article:

http://www.msnbc.com/local/pencilnews/158716.asp

But in 1979, bin Laden left Saudi Arabia to fight in Afghanistan. He fought
on the side of the mujaheddin, which were right-wing Islamic troops who
fought against the Soviet invasion and puppet government.

The mujaheddin was backed by a number of countries, including the United
States. In fact, some experts believe that bin Laden received some training
from the CIA.
-
and

http://www.msnbc.com/news/627355.asp

Osama bin Laden, one-time ally of the CIA in the war against the Soviet army
in Afghanistan, is now the primary suspect in the attacks on the World Trade
Center and the Pentagon, the most deadly terrorist assaults in U.S. history.

'CIA worked with Pak to create Taliban'
Sanjay Suri, London
March 06, 2001 11:40 Hrs (IST)

THE CENTRAL Intelligence Agency (CIA) worked in tandem with Pakistan to
create the monster that is today Afghanistan's ruling Taliban, a leading US
expert on South Asia said here.

I warned them that we were creating a monster, Selig Harrison from the
Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars said at the conference here
last week on Terrorism and Regional Security: Managing the Challenges in
Asia.

Harrison said: The CIA made a historic mistake in encouraging Islamic groups
from all over the world to come to Afghanistan. The US provided $3 billion
for building up these Islamic groups, and it accepted Pakistan's demand that
they should decide how this money should be spent, Harrison said.
-
No genuine assessment of the enemy that Osama bin Laden may be today can be
made without taking into consideration the US government's own covert ops'
involvement in his financing, training and arms acquisition. To ingore this
aspect does not help anyone, except maybe the US government, who is
apparently lusting for war. I am disappointed that both Linda and Whitley
have glossed over these facts.

I have a few questions:

1) Is there money to be made in war?

2) Is the arms industry going to donate their profits to charity because this
is such a moral cause?

3) Did Ike or did he not warn us about the Military/Industrial complex?

 WAR IS A RACKET

  Smedley Butler on Interventionism
   -- Excerpt from a speech delivered in 1933, by Major General
 Smedley Butler, USMC. --

   War is just a racket.

   A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not
 what it seems to the majority of people. Only a small inside group
 knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very
 few at the expense of the masses.
   I believe in adequate defense at the coastline and nothing else. If
 a nation comes over here to fight, then we'll fight. The trouble with
 America is that when the dollar only earns 6 percent over here, then
 it gets restless and goes overseas to get 100 percent. Then the flag
 follows the dollar and the soldiers follow the flag.

   I wouldn't go to war again as I have done to protect some lousy
 investment of the bankers. There are only two things we should fight
 for. One is the defense of our homes and the other is the Bill of
 Rights. War for any other reason is simply a racket.
   There isn't a trick in the racketeering bag that the military gang
 is blind to. It has its finger men to point out enemies,
 its muscle men to destroy enemies, its brain men to plan war
 preparations, and a Big Boss Super-Nationalistic-Capitalism.

   It may seem odd for me, a military man to adopt such a comparison.
 Truthfulness compels me to. I spent thirty- three years and four
 months in active military service as a member of this country's most
 agile military force, the Marine Corps. I served in all commissioned
 ranks from Second Lieutenant to Major-General. And during that
 period, I spent most of my time being a high class muscle- man for
 Big Business, for Wall Street and for the Bankers. In short, I was a
 racketeer, a gangster for capitalism.

   I suspected I was just part of a racket at the time. Now I am sure
 of it. Like all the members of the military profession, I never had a
 thought of my own until I left the service. My mental faculties
 remained in suspended animation while I obeyed the orders of higher-
 ups. This is typical with everyone in the military service.

   I helped make Mexico, especially Tampico, safe for American oil
 interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for
 the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the
 raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefits of
 Wall Street. The record of racketeering is long. I helped purify
 Nicaragua for the international banking house of Brown Brothers in
 1909-1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for American
 sugar interests in 1916. In China I helped to see to it that Standard
 Oil went its way unmolested.

   During those years, I had, as the boys in the back room would say,
 a swell racket. Looking back on it, I feel that I could have given Al
 Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in
 three districts. I operated on three continents.

This commentary was produced by Steven Rosenfeld.


Regular CNN viewers might think that a small group of foreign correspondents normally stationed overseas who were reporting from the States last week were called back home because of the disaster. The truth is more ironic and is one piece of a bigger, troubling trend in US media's foreign coverage.

At least four CNN overseas reporters just happened to be in the U.S. on September 11 because they had been called home to be told that they were either about to lose their jobs, or were going to have to start working from their homes to save the company money.

Foreign news cutbacks are not a recent phenomenon. National newspapers and magazines have shut scores of overseas bureaus in recent years. The cutbacks not only save money for the beancounters but reflect an editorial decision-making process that judges Americans' need to know based on focus groups. This tool of advertisers and political consultants has declared that "serving the public" means more stories about cars, celebrities and cures that don't involve pain. Forget foreign affairs.

The foreign news blackout means that the rest of the world knows far more about America than we know about ourselves, let alone what we know about them. And this triumph of ignorance means that Americans can't even comprehend what motivates those who hate us.

Thanks to these so-called "editorial decisions" at the big news organizations, Americans have little to go on to assess Osama bin Laden, his followers, the Arab people, and the states that we are told by the President harbor the terror networks. The White House would have the public believe that we're hated because we are the land of the free. If only the current state of affairs were so simple.

The last time I visited Baghdad, as a reporter in fall 1998, there wasn't much of a market for a story in the U.S. about bin Laden's popular allure on Arab streets. No matter that he had been the FBI's most wanted man for several years. Editors I worked with then were rarely interested in stories about Arabs that didn't involve an immediate crisis.

But there was a story. On that same trip, I met a young man in Jordan who drives visitors around Amman for a living. One night I asked him what he knew of bin Laden, who at the time had just been the target of an America bombing campaign for allegedly blowing up American embassies in Africa, killing hundreds. I was surprised when the young man's entire voice and demeanor changed.

"Osama bin Laden," he whispered reverentially, dragging out the vowels. "He sleeps under trees. He doesn't care about money or sex. He is pure."

The young man went on to explain that cassette tapes of bin Laden's speeches were quite popular in Amman, easily acquired and passed around among his friends. He also said if the Jordanian police nearby overheard him uttering bin Laden's name to me, he'd be in trouble. Over the next few days, we talked some more about his idol, and I was always shocked by the palpable reverence in which he held bin Laden.

This man was not a terrorist and not a martyr-in-training. He was a practicing Muslim Jordanian with a lot of exposure to Westerners. I learned then that bin Laden's power over him had less to do with the Americans and more to do with intra-Arab politics. In Jordan, where many Palestinian refugees and sympathizers live, he said the Saudi sheiks -- not Israel -- are seen as a major corrupting element among the Muslim population. The oil-rich Saudis practice ascetic restraint at home, but cross the border into Jordan to buy British booze and Iraqi or Jordanian women. My driver said he knew this firsthand.

Many Arabs -- not just bin Laden and his suicidal followers -- view Saudi moral corruption as a cancer on the whole region. From talking to this young man and his friends, I realized that for a significant number of poor Arab Muslims, hatred of America was only one part of bin Laden's complex allure. Curiously -- or perhaps not given their total isolation -- once inside Iraq I didn't find anyone on the streets of Bagdad who had even heard of bin Laden.

But back in the States, a heard-on-the-streets story about this man on the FBI's most wanted list wasn't wanted at all. The lack of interest in Arab affairs that I experienced as a freelance journalist was not just a symptom of the fashion- and buzz-infested glossy magazines. The television networks, newspapers and magazines have all been cutting back on foreign coverage for

CIA Says No Bars to Recruitment of People With Unsavory Backgrounds for Spy
Work

By George Gedda Associated Press Writer
Published: Sep 17, 2001


WASHINGTON (AP) - Contrary to the assertions of some lawmakers and
administration officials, there are no barriers to CIA recruitment of
people, including those with unsavory reputations, who are needed to
infiltrate terrorist groups, the CIA said Monday.

Spokesman Bill Harlow commented in response to repeated calls in recent
days for an easing of perceived recruiting constraints so the CIA can
collect information on those responsible for last week's terrorist
hijackings and attacks.

The CIA has never turned down a field request to recruit an asset in a
terrorist organization, Harlow said. Furthermore, the CIA does not avoid
contact with individuals, regardless of their past, who may have
information about terrorist activities.

Another official, asking not to be identified, said the guidelines simply
require field officers to obtain approval from headquarters before
establishing a relationship with an individual who had engaged in human
rights abuses or other disreputable activity.

The official added that there seems to be a misunderstanding about whether
the guidelines hamstring CIA recruiting efforts.

Vice President Dick Cheney said Sunday the government needs more than
certified good guys to penetrate spy networks.

Otherwise, he said, You're not going to find out what the bad guys are
doing. You need to be able to penetrate these organizations. Any
recruiting restrictions, he said, should be lifted.

Sen. Bob Graham, D-Fla., who heads the Senate Intelligence Committee, said
last week, We are not going to find the kinds of spies we need in
monasteries.

Sen. Richard Shelby. R-Ala., suggested Sunday that the agency needs
unsavory characters in its ranks if it is to make headway.

Are they people you wouldn't want to invite to your home? Absolutely,
Shelby said. But we have to deal with these people to get at the bottom of
a lot of information we want like terrorist cells.

The CIA recruiting practices made headlines in the mid-1990s following
allegations that several CIA agents in Guatemala ordered, planned or took
part in human rights abuses, including assassination, since 1984.

The most publicized cases involved the killings in Guatemala of an American
innkeeper, Michael Devine, in 1990, and of a Guatemalan guerrilla leader,
Efrain Bamaca, who was married to an American lawyer. Bamaca was killed in
1992.

In 1996, the Intelligence Oversight Board, a presidential panel, found the
allegations against CIA personnel in Guatemala to be credible.

Then-CIA Director John Deutch took a number of actions, including the
dismissal of the chief of the Latin American Division of the CIA's
Directorate of Operations.

In addition, a former CIA station chief in Guatemala was asked to retire.

[CTRL] NewRep: The Iraq Connection

-Caveat Lector-

From The New Republic

THE IRAQ CONNECTION.
Blood Baath
by R. James Woolsey

Post date 09.13.01
Issue date 09.24.01


In the immediate aftermath of Tuesday's attacks, attention has focused on
terrorist chieftain Osama bin Laden. And he may well be responsible. But
intelligence and law enforcement officials investigating the case would do
well to at least consider another possibility: that the attacks--whether
perpetrated by bin Laden and his associates or by others--were sponsored,
supported, and perhaps even ordered by Saddam Hussein.

To this end, investigators should revisit the 1993 bombing of the World
Trade Center. A few years ago, the facts in that case seemed
straightforward: The mastermind behind the bombing, who went by the alias
Ramzi Yousef, was in fact a 27-year-old Pakistani named Abdul Basit. But
late last year, AEI Press published Study of Revenge: Saddam Hussein's
Unfinished War Against America, a careful book about the bombing by AEI
scholar Laurie Mylroie. The book's startling thesis is that the original
theory of the attack, advanced by James Fox (the FBI's chief investigator
into the 1993 bombing until his replacement in 1994) was correct: that
Yousef was not Abdul Basit but rather an Iraqi agent who had assumed the
latter's identity when police files in Kuwait (where the real Abdul Basit
lived in 1990) were doctored by Iraqi intelligence during the occupation of
Kuwait. If Mylroie and Fox (who died in 1997) are right, then it was Iraq
that went after the World Trade Center last time. Which makes it much more
plausible that Iraq has done so again.

According to the theory of the 1993 bombing embraced by federal prosecutors
and the Clinton administration, Yousef/Abdul Basit was just another Middle
Eastern student who became radicalized in his early twenties. But it is
worth noting that the only two publicly reported items suggesting that
Yousef and Abdul Basit are the same man could very easily have been
products
of Iraqi tampering with Kuwaiti police files: a few photocopied pages from
earlier Abdul Basit passports that had clearly been tampered with, provided
by Yousef in New York in 1992 to get a Pakistani passport in Abdul Basit's
name, and fingerprints matching Yousef's found in Abdul Basit's police file
in Kuwait. It is also worth noting that Abdul Basit and his family, who
lived in Kuwait, disappeared during the Iraqi occupation, and the family
has
never reappeared. Was this a random tragedy of war or part of an effort to
set up a false identity for Yousef?

Moreover, the Fox/Mylroie theory--that Yousef, via Iraqi intelligence,
stole
Abdul Basit's identity--would explain a number of troubling differences
between Abdul Basit in the summer of 1989 (when he left the United Kingdom
after three years of study) and Yousef in September 1992 (when he arrived
in
New York). If the two are indeed the same man, then, over the course of
three years, he would have: (a) grown four inches (from five foot eight
inches to six feet) in his twenties; (b) put on between 35 and 40 pounds;
(c) developed a deformed eye; (d) developed smaller ears and a smaller
mouth; (e) gone from being an innovative computer programmer to being
computer-challenged; (f) aged substantially more than three years in
appearance; and (g) changed from being a quiet, smiling young man
respectful
to women to a rather different one (a sound file in Yousef's computer, for
example, includes his voice saying Fuck, fuck, fuck and Shut up, you
bitch).

What incentive would the U.S. government have had to overlook these
changes,
stipulate that Abdul Basit and Yousef were the same person, and turn away
from any suggestion that Saddam was behind the first WTC attack? One can
only speculate. But by arguing that the 1993 WTC bombing and a separate,
FBI-thwarted plot to bomb New York tunnels and buildings were connected as
parts of a common conspiracy, prosecutors made convicting the participants,
under the very broad seditious conspiracy law, far simpler. As for the
Clinton administration itself, there would be less need to confront Saddam,
and perhaps less need to make hard choices, if it didn't finger him as
being
behind the WTC bombing.

And indeed, ever since Fox's ouster, federal prosecutors and the White
House
have hewed to the line that most terrorist attacks on the United States are
either the products of loose networks of folks who just somehow come
together or are masterminded by the mysterious and unaccountable bin Laden.
Explicit state sponsorship, especially by Iraq, has not been on the agenda.
The Clinton administration, meanwhile, treated Saddam--in former National
Security Adviser Sandy Berger's famous metaphor--like the mole in an
international version of the Whack-a-Mole carnival game: If you bopped
him
on the head, he'd stay in his hole for a while. But what has he been doing
while he's down there? If Fox and Mylroie are right, quite possibly
planning, financing, and backing terrorist operations

!--StartFragment--My friends, since World War II and before, scientists theworld over have been probing for the basic secrets of lifeitself; and in this field as in others, progress has been muchfaster than the public has been led to believe. Today it'scommon knowledge that heredity is governed by something calledgenes, yet barely a generation ago this relationship was onlybeginning to be suspected. When it was suggested in 1944 by atheoretical physicist, Erwin Schrodinger, it was a novel idea. Beyond that no one was too certain what genes were aside fromhuge molecules or clusters of molecules. Some thought they weremolecular chunks of protein, some thought they were somethingelse. When Schrodinger's ideas about genes were published, WorldWar II was still raging and basic scientific research was on aback burner; and yet, barely a half a dozen years later,researchers were zeroing in on a building block of life even morebasic than genes. The solution was found to this revolutionarypuzzle in April 1953 at Cambridge University in England. Scientists James Watson, Francis Crick, and Maurice Wilkins werelater to share the Nobel Prize for solving the puzzle. They haddiscovered the molecular structure of DNA, the famous "doublehelix." In 1968 Watson published a book titled "THE DOUBLEHELIX", published by Athenaeum, New York, N.Y. To understand theoverwhelming importance of the double helix discovery in 1953,one need go no further than these few words on the jacket of thebook: "DNA is the molecule of heredity, and to know its structure andmethod of reproduction enables science to know how geneticdirections are written and transmitted, how the forms of life areordered from one generation to the next."In other words, to understand DNA is to begin to understand lifeitself. It has now been over a quarter century since the crucialdiscovery of the DNA double helix, and since then research inmolecular biology has not been standing still but speeding up. In some cases research has gone in directions which aredeliberately sheltered from publicity because of the fear ofpublic reaction. Not so long ago, for example, universitiesdoing research into artificial microbes found their neighbors inan ugly mood when they found out about it. Test tube babies arenow a reality, and that began not long ago in England where themystery of DNA was first unraveled. Then, of course, there areclones--that is, creatures which are reproduced by artificialmeans and which are exact duplicates of an original. Clones ofall kinds of animals have been produced successfully in thelaboratory, but that is not what bothers people. In the recentpast it has been claimed that human clones are also possible andthat some may already be in existence. These last claims abouthuman clones have been ridiculed, denied, and suppressed by allkinds of officials--the reason is that the idea of duplicatehuman beings impinges upon a super-secret realm of Intelligenceactivities by both Russia and the United States. True clones arenot involved, but something that bears a superficial resemblanceto cloning is going on; and the last thing the powers-that-bewant is for you and the public to have any hint about what isafoot. In Russia as well as in the West, research has been under wayfor many years in biological synthesis--that is, artificial lifeforms; and according to high intelligence, a stunningbreak-through took place in Russia some years ago. The Russiansrefer to this break-through as a "providential discovery",something they learned almost by accident. They discovered thekey to creating what are known as "organic robotoids." Anorganic robotoid is an artificial robot-like creature, it looksand acts exactly like a human being and yet it is not human. Arobotoid is alive in the biological sense but it is an artificiallife form. Robotoids respond to conventional routine medicaltests in the same way as humans do; they eat, they drink, theybreathe, they bleed if cut; and they can be killed. Robotoidscan also think, but they think only in the sense that a computerthinks. Like any other computer, the brain of a robotoid has tobe programmed for each assignment it is given; but unlike manyelectronic computers, the biological computer brain of a robotoidpossesses an enormous memory. As a result, robotoids can beprogrammed to communicate and think in such complex patterns thatthey act human. Organic robotoids are remarkable creatures, but they have manydrawbacks. They don't grow or reproduce but must be manufacturedone by one in the desired form. They also have a very limitedlife span, measured in months or even weeks, depending upon howthey are utilized. This is due to the fact that theirmetabolism, while it resembles that of humans, is veryinefficient.

Flight school says FBI trailed suspect prior to hijackings
http://www.boston.com/

 By Kevin Cullen and Ralph Ranalli, Globe Staff, 9/18/2001

 FBI Director Robert Mueller continued to insist yesterday that federal
authorities had no reason to  suspect Islamic extremists were training at
US flight schools before last week's suicide hijackings, even as more
evidence surfaced raising questions about those assertions.

 The vice president of a flight school in Oklahoma told The Boston Globe
yesterday that three  weeks before Tuesday's suicide hijackings, FBI
agents interviewed him about a suspected terrorist  who had trained at
the school.

 Dale Davis, the vice president of Airman Flight School in Norman,
Okla., said FBI agents showed up at the facility asking questions about
Zacarias Moussaoui, who was arrested in Minnesota last month after he
tried to get flight simulator lessons on flying a commercial-size jet.

 In addition, Davis said that FBI agents visited his flight school two
years ago to ask questions about a former student who had been identified
by federal authorities as an associate of Osama bin Laden, the Saudi-born
dissident who is the prime suspe ct in organizing last week's hijackings.

 Davis also said that two of the men who hijacked two flights out of
Boston's Logan Airport last week, including Mohamed Atta, who investigators
believe was the ringleader of the Boston hijackings, had visited the
Norman flight school last year before deciding to attend one in Florida.

 At a Washington briefing yesterday, Mueller repeated his assertion,
first made Friday, that federal authorities had no inkling that terrorists
were using US flight schools to acquire the training they needed to take
the controls of commercial airline rs as they did on Tuesday.

 ''There were no warning signs that I'm aware of that would indicate
this type of operation in the country,'' he said.

 But the Globe reported Saturday that federal authorities have known for at
least three years that two associates of bin Laden had trained in the United
States as airline pilots.

 The link between the Al-Qaeda terror group, allegedly led by bin Laden,
and US flight schools emerged earlier this year at the trial of four men
charged with the 1998 bombing of the American embassies in Kenya and
Tanzania. At that trial, during whic h FBI agents were called as
witnesses, an associate of bin Laden testified that he went to a flight
school in Texas.

 Prosecutors introduced evidence that a second associate of bin Laden,
Ihab Ali Nawawi, had trained at Airman Flight School, as did Moussaoui,
who is now being held in New York for questioning on suspicion that he
is an associate of the hijackers.

 In a telephone interview, Davis confirmed that the FBI had suspicions
about Moussaoui at least three weeks before last week's disaster.

 The questions FBI agents posed to him appeared to be about whether
Moussaoui could have been a terrorist, Davis said, including whether
the alleged Algerian militant had ever made any ''extreme comments''
about the United States.

 When asked why they were inquiring about Moussaoui, Davis said, the agents
replied that ''he had done something very bad.''

 Davis said FBI agents had visited his school just two years earlier to
inquire about Ihab Ali Nawawi, who took flight training there in 1993
and was later charged in connection with the 1998 US Embassy bombings in
Africa, which were blamed on bin Laden's group.

 Davis also confirmed that Atta and another suspected hijacker, Marwan
al-Shehhi, visited Airman Flight School, staying overnight at the school's
dormitory in the nearby Sooner Inn, before deciding to train at another
facility.

 ''They did a school visit in July of 2000 but went elsewhere for
whatever reason,'' Davis said.

 The Los Angeles Times yesterday quoted an unidentified federal official
saying that Moussaoui asked only for lessons on ''steering, not landing''
and cheered when he watched a news account of the suicide hijackings at
the jail in Minnesota where he h as been held since last month.

 Two other suspects being held for questioning in New York, Aybu Ali Khan
and Mohammed Jaweed Azmath, who had been living in New Jersey, were taken
into custody on a train in Fort Worth, Texas, and arrested after police
found they were carrying box cu tters similar to those used by some of
the hijackers. Investigators believe the hijackers in Tuesday's attack
used box cutters because the tool's plastic handle would not set off
metal detectors at airport security checkpoints.

 While authorities have not identified a fourth suspect being interrogated
in New York, CNN yesterday said that the man is a doctor from San Antonio,
and that Azmath and Khan may have been heading to his home there to hide.
CNN said the man attended t he same flight school in Arizona as one of
the hijackers of American Airlines Flight 77, which crashed into the P
entagon.

  Saved by the Militia
  Arming an army against terrorism.

  By Randy E. Barnett is the Austin B. Fletcher Professor at Boston University and the 
author of The Structure of Liberty: Justice and the
  Rule of Law.
  September 18, 2001 11:30 a.m.

  A well-regulated militia being essential to the security of a free state. . . . 
The next time someone tells you that the militia
  referred to in the Second Amendment has been superceded by the National Guard, ask 
them who it was that prevented
  United Airlines Flight 93 from reaching its target. The National Guard? The regular 
Army? The D.C. Police Department?
  None of these had a presence on Flight 93 because, in a free society, professional 
law-enforcement and military personnel
  cannot be everywhere. Terrorists and criminals are well aware of this — indeed, they 
count on it. Who is everywhere? The
  people the Founders referred to as the general militia. Cell-phone calls from the 
plane have now revealed that it was
  members of the general militia, not organized law enforcement, who successfully 
prevented Flight 93 from reaching its
  intended target at the cost of their own lives.

  The characterization of these heroes as members of the militia is not just the 
opinion of one law professor. It is clearly stated
  in Federal statutes. Perhaps you will not believe me unless I quote Section 311 of 
US Code Title 10, entitled, Militia:
  composition and classes in its entirety (with emphases added):

  (a) The militia of the United States consists of all able-bodied males at least 17 
years of age and, except as provided
  in section 313 of title 32, under 45 years of age who are, or who have made a 
declaration of intention to become, citizens of
  the United States and of female citizens of the United States who are members of the 
National Guard.

  (b) The classes of the militia are —

  (1) the organized militia, which consists of the National Guard and the Naval 
Militia; and

  (2) the unorganized militia, which consists of the members of the militia who are 
not members of the National
  Guard or the Naval Militia.

  This is not to score political points at a moment of great tragedy, though had the 
murderers on these four airplanes been
  armed with guns rather than knives, reminders of this fact would never end. Rather, 
that it was militia members who saved
  whatever was the terrorists' target — whether the White House or the Capitol — at 
the cost of their lives points in the
  direction of practical steps — in some cases the only practical steps — to reduce 
the damage cause by any future attacks.

  An excellent beginning was provided by Dave Kopel and David Petteys in their NRO 
column Making the Air Safe for
  Terror. Whether or not their specific recommendations are correct, they are too 
important to be ignored and they are not
  the only persons to reach similar conclusions about the need for effective 
self-defense. Refusing to discuss what measures
  really worked, what really failed, and what is likely to really work in future 
attacks — on airplanes and in other public
  spaces — for reasons of political correctness would be unconscionable. And we need 
to place this discussion in its larger
  constitutional context.

  Asking all of us if we packed our own bags did not stop this attack. X-rays of all 
carry-on baggage did not stop this attack
  (though it may well have confined the attackers to using knives). And preventing us 
from using e-tickets or checking our
  bags at the street (for how long?) would neither have stopped this nor any future 
attack. All these new security proposals
  will merely inconvenience millions of citizens driving them away from air travel and 
seriously harming our economy and our
  freedom. As others have noted, it would be a victory for these murderers rather than 
an effective way to stop them in the
  future. A way around them will always be open to determined mass murderers. More 
importantly, none bear any relation to
  the attack that actually occurred on September 11th.

  Ask yourself every time you hear a proposal for increased security: Would have in 
any way have averted the disaster that
  actually happened? Will it avert a future suicide attack on the public by other new 
and different means? Any realistic
  response to what happened and is likely to happen in the future must acknowledge 
that, when the next moment of truth
  arrives in whatever form, calling 911 will not work. Training our youth to be 
helpless in the face of an attack, avoiding
  violence at all costs will not work. There will always be foreign and domestic 
wolves to prey on the sheep we raise. And the
  next attack is unlikely to take the same form as the ones we just experienced. We 
must adopt measures that promise some
  relief in circumstances we cannot now imagine.

  Here is the cold hard fact of the matter that

STOPP International: Study Says Abortion Increases Crime, But Mainstream
Media Turns Deaf Ear


September 7, 2001 10:01am
Source: PR Newswire

http://finance.individual.com/display_news.asp?doc_id=CT2001250p1718page=news

WASHINGTON, Sep 7, 2001 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Why is an academic
study, which concludes that abortion increases crime, getting so little
media attention? asked Ed Szymkowiak, national director of Stop Planned
Parenthood International, a division of American Life League. Two years
ago, when different researchers released a study which claimed that
abortion decreases crime, it made national headlines for months.

A May 2001 study by John R. Lott of Yale Law School and John Whitley of the
University of Adelaide School of Economics in Australia concludes that
legalized abortion in the United States resulted in higher crime rates.

Lott and Whitley cite research that suggests that abortion creates a social
climate that encourages out-of-wedlock births and single-parent families,
which in turn tend to produce children more likely to commit crime.

The two researchers also expose the flawed methodology of the earlier
headline-grabbing study by John Donohue and Steven Levitt, The Impact of
Legalizing Abortion on Crime Rates, which claims that abortion reduces
crime.

On page 19 of their study, Lott and Whitley point to statistical evidence
that shows legalizing abortion increased murder rates by around 0.5 to 7
percent. On page 18, the researchers note, The higher estimated increases
in murder imply that legalizing abortion raised the number of murders in
1998 by 1,230 and raised total annual victimization costs from all crime by
at least $4.5 billion.

Out-of-Wedlock Births, is available online from the Social Science

From The Federalist Brief:

The Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act of 1999 (S.1692), as passed
by the Senate last week, was introduced by Senator Rick Santorum.
During the debate on the Senate floor, we caught this exchange between Mr.
Santorum and abortion advocate Ms. Barbara Boxer (D-CA). Regarding the
issue of when a child's life should be protected, it went

Sen. Santorum: But, again, what you are suggesting is if the baby's
toe is inside the mother, you can, in fact, kill that baby.

Sen. Boxer: Absolutely not.

Santorum: OK. So if the baby's toe is in, you can't kill the baby.
How about if the baby's foot is in?

Boxer: You are the one who is making these statements.

Santorum: We are trying to draw a line here.

Boxer: I am not answering these questions.

Santorum: If the head is inside the mother, you can kill the baby.

(Supporters of partial-birth abortion show a topsy-turvy view of the
world if they are willing to let a baby be killed based on how much
and from which direction that baby emerges from the mother.)

U.S. Develops Options for Military Action
Troops Could Be Sent Overseas Within Weeks

By Thomas E. Ricks, Kamran Khan and Molly Moore
Washington Post Staff Writers
Wednesday, September 19, 2001; Page A01

The Pentagon intensified preparations yesterday for a possible overseas deployment of 
U.S. troops that could
begin within weeks as U.S. and Pakistani officials drafted plans for using bases in 
Pakistan as staging
grounds for raids into neighboring Afghanistan, according to officials in Washington 
and Islamabad.

Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld, alluding to the planning in both countries, said 
the United States is
preparing a very broadly based campaign to go after the terrorist problem where it 
exists. And in an
indication of the breadth of military action being contemplated by the administration 
in response to the Sept.
11 terrorist attacks in New York and Washington, Rumsfeld told reporters that the U.S. 
military would use the
full spectrum of our capabilities.

I think of it in the sense of self-defense, and there is nothing that inhibits the 
United States of America
from defending itself, Rumsfeld said.

While Pentagon officials stressed no decisions have been made, sources said Rumsfeld 
and other senior
officials are considering a wide range of options for attacking suspected terrorists 
and their supporters in
Afghanistan and elsewhere. Afghanistan's ruling Taliban militia has been harboring 
Saudi exile Osama bin
Laden, who the U.S. government says is its prime suspect in the attacks on the World 
Trade Center and the
Pentagon.

The options range from small-scale raids using Special Forces troops to airstrikes and 
cruise missile
barrages, officials said. In addition to direct military action, the administration is 
considering a variety
of intelligence, economic and diplomatic actions to disrupt terrorist networks and the 
governments that
support or tolerate them, officials said.

We intend to put them on the defensive, to disrupt terrorist networks and remove 
their sanctuaries and their
support systems, Rumsfeld said. This will take a long, sustained effort.

The Pentagon's planning reflects some of the political and geographic difficulties 
confronting the
administration as it contemplates what President Bush has called a new kind of war 
against a shadowy,
stateless enemy. The plans are a radical departure from operations such as the 1991 
Persian Gulf War, which
involved a massive buildup of troops and heavy weapons, and will rely instead on 
smaller, more mobile units.

Pakistani military officials said the Bush administration has not asked to station 
large numbers of ground
troops in the country, a request that would be politically difficult for the Pakistan 
government to meet and
logistically difficult for U.S. forces to carry out. Sensitive to the problems of 
having U.S. troops operate
in a conservative Muslim nation, especially in an area of Pakistan where Afghans are 
considered ethnic
brothers, Pentagon planners are aiming to minimize the number of U.S. troops that 
would be based there,
officials said.

One possible course of action calls for Special Forces to conduct raids on suspected 
terrorists in Afghanistan
from Pakistan. The countries share a 1,500-mile border. But the plan calls for 
stationing most of the assault
troops outside Pakistan and flying them to Pakistan at the last minute to stage the 
raids, officials said.
Pentagon officials are discussing basing some forces aboard Navy ships in the Arabian 
Sea and having them use
helicopters to move into Afghanistan. U.S. troops might also be based in friendly 
Persian Gulf nations, such
as Oman and Kuwait.

The Navy has two aircraft carriers in the area, the Carl Vinson and the Enterprise, 
and soon will have a
third, the Theodore Roosevelt.

Asked to comment on the military planning, Victoria Clarke, the top Pentagon 
spokeswoman, said, We don't have
any comment on operational details.

A delegation of U.S. officials is scheduled to arrive in Pakistan this week to discuss 
details of ground
support requirements. Pakistani President Gen. Pervez Musharraf has promised to 
cooperate with U.S. efforts to
dislodge bin Laden.

Musharraf, a veteran of Pakistani special forces, already has agreed to give the 
United States overflight
rights for missile and aerial bombing raids in Afghanistan.

Military planners say a limited ground presence will be necessary to command any 
operation run out of
Pakistan, including operating a headquarters and basing the Special Operations 
helicopters that would be used
for the short trip over the border into Afghanistan. Officials said they are planning 
to keep the deployment
as austere as possible, with troops living in tents, and as many support functions 
as possible, such as
intelligence analysis, being carried out elsewhere.

You can run a limited war with the facilities that the U.S. Navy has in the Arabian 
Sea, a senior Pakistan
naval official said. But

 Mike,

 I am finding sound evidence supporting several contrary conclusions.

 The things that support the Bin Ladin theory:

 1)  The assassination of Bin Ladin's rival 2 days before the WTC.  This timing
 looks suspicious.

suspicious doesn't prove anything


 2)  The stock purchases of Bin Ladin.  This tooked to me like the typical
 evidence laid out to convict in the minds of the public and it would not
 surprise me in the least if the outlet for such planted evidence would be the
 Mellon Scaife network.  Your own sources seem from what you have written to
 support this contention.  It is important to know who these sources are.

 The things that do not seem to support the Bin Ladin conclusion are:

 1)  The PENTAGON plane that took the extra danger to bank to an insignificant
 section of the PENTAGON to spare the JOINT CHIEFS.  That does not seem to be
 what
 real terrorists would do.

that plane was aimed at the white house supposedly - the pentagon was just a
target of opportunity used when they overflew the target



 2)  Planted evidence like the passport of one of the WTC pilots that was found
 on
 the street below.  That reminds me of the magic bullet that was found on the
 streacher at PARKLAND HOSPITAL.

 3)  Why would the terrorists leave a rented car at LOGAN with flight training
 manuals in Arabic?  This looks planted.

these both bugged me as well - but brilliant terrorists have often made
stupid mistakes - whether through hubris, or just stupidity I dont know

i.e. tim mcveigh speeding in an unregistered car

the guy going to pick up the deposit in the van he used to in the WTC
bombing in 93

etc




 4)  Why would the terrorists use their own IDs?  If they could use military
 secure
 phones and find the codes for the president's SECRET SERVICE detail how come
 they
 did not use doctored IDs?  No one claimed credit for the attack.  Why would
 these
 guys leave a trail?



I dont think they were trying to hide themselves.

 CIA PROBE: MILLIONS OF SHARES SOLD ON EVE OF DISASTER; DID BIN LADEN
 PULL OFF THE SICKEST SHARE DEAL EVER?
 DAILY MAIL
 09/18/01

 The CIA has asked the City regulators in London to investigate
 suspicious sales of millions of shares before last Tuesday's attacks
 in America in the belief that the paper trail will lead to the
 terrorists.

 MORE

 Osama Bin Laden could have pulled off a sick financial coup shortly
 before the attacks that devastated America.

 Britain's City watchdog, the Financial Services Authority, has
 launched an inquiry into unusual share price movements in London
 before last week's atrocities.

 Other investigations have been launched in the U.S., Germany, Japan
 and Italy. The authorities fear that the Saudi-born multi-
 millionaire's followers might have used a technique known as 'short
 selling' shares in commodities such as insurance companies, airlines
 and tourism which they knew would plunge after the attack.

 Short selling involves borrowing shares from a broker, then selling
 them.

 You use the money raised to buy the shares when the price has gone
 down, give them to the broker and pocket the difference.

 So if you sold a million shares at GBP 8 each, and they then went
 down to GBP 5, you could make a quick GBP 3million less the broker's
 fees and commission.

 'It would be a particularly ghoulish kind of insider dealing,' said
 one source.

 'But if we find anyone profiteering out of the tragedy it could be a
 good lead for the investigation into exactly who is responsible.'

 The authorities are also looking for any unusual buying activity in
 sectors likely to go up, such as building or arms manufacturers.

Attacks Shift Balance of Power,
Alliances Among Interest Groups

By Thomas B. Edsall
Washington Post Staff Writer
Wednesday, September 19, 2001; Page A06

(SNIP)

The calls for an expansion of government surveillance and search powers
have united elements of the left and right in opposition. The Senate has
already passed legislation making warrants for electronic computer
searches easier to obtain, and the administration is preparing a package
of proposals that could include encryption restrictions, extended use of
facial recognition technology, and facilitated search warrants in terrorism 
investigations and other matters.

The liberal Leadership Conference on Civil Rights and the American
Civil Liberties Union and such conservative groups as the Free Congress
Foundation and the Gun Owners of America are expected to hold a
news conference tomorrow to declare their concerns that increased
surveillance initiatives would invade privacy.

 OK. For a primer, read this article. However...beware. Big words and
 impeccable logic are used...


Oh good, a personal attack, that really shows intelligence and impeccable
logic.

Why does this article completely ignore the 150+ writers actors directors,
etc in Hollywood who were blacklisted and unable to work, because of
political beliefs they may have held, or explored, or perhaps just didn't
denounce?

the article also rests on the assumption that  anyone who for any reason
ever held any socialist or communist ideas, leanings, or connections was an
absolute risk to th4e American government. It ignores that during the
depression it seemed to many that some sort socialism would help ease the
pain of what was going on. Many of these, had turned away from this as it
became clearer what Stalinist Russia, and then china were like. In America
we are supposed to have room for differing view points, and not keep people
from jobs because their viewpoint is not in line with the prevailing
viewpoint of the government.

Re: [CTRL] More McCarthy...

McCarthyism: Insult or Compliment?

On February 20th, Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chrétien, under fire from
critics for his ethically questionable activities relating to the sale and
subsequent financing of an inn that he once owned, struck back by comparing
the criticism to a witch hunt. Invoking the specter of McCarthyism, he said
of Tory leader Joe Clark: He has started as Joe Who. Now, he's perhaps Joe
McCarthy.

Chrétien obviously intended it as an insult, but as Canada's National Post
for February 22nd reported, according to academics, being labeled a 'Joseph
McCarthy' . can now be considered a compliment. Post reporter Siobhan
Roberts quoted Geoffrey Smith, a professor of American history at Queen's
University in Kingston, as saying: Many of McCarthy's allegations have been
proven by recent historians to have more substance than we thought they did
in the late 1940s and early 1950s. And noted American author M. Stanton
Evans, who is currently working on a book about McCarthy scheduled for
publication next year, told Roberts that people who stand up and start
yelling McCarthyism, first of all know zero about McCarthy, and are
probably trying to change the subject from the substance of the charges
against them. That is the intention: to divert attention from any
substantial criticism toward this extraneous emotional slogan.

Additional evidence that McCarthy had accurately called the shots surfaced
in 1996 with the release of documents from Soviet archives and our National
Security Agency. As summarized by Scripps Howard News Service at the time,
McCarthy and other anti-Communist activists weren't too far wrong about the
extensive Soviet penetration of U.S. government agencies in the 1940s
Transcripts of cables sent by KGB agents to Moscow in 1944 and 1945 were
intercepted by U.S. cryptoanalysts and indicate that more than 100 Soviet
agents had infiltrated the State Department, Justice Department, War
Department, Treasury Department and even the Office of Strategic Services,
the precursor of the CIA.

Re: [CTRL] bin laden trained at ft benning?

Fund raiser and financier seem to me to be euphemisms for drug money
launderer.  When the news says bin Laden was trained in covert operations,
that means he learned how to reinvest drug profits into legitimate
enterprises like real estate, construction, and communications
infrastructure.  That's why he's protected in his homeland; he helps create
jobs, roads, bridges, factories--all the things our government promises to
deliver to the American people.  The battle is over who owns the poppy

In the text of Linda Moulton Howe's recent report, Who is Osama bin Laden

create the Osama bin Laden we are faced with today. There is no mention of
this in Whitley's most recent journal article either.

This CIA funding, arming and training has not been a secret, so why is it
being overlooked?

Linda's report says:

During the 1980s, Osama bin Laden was an aggressive fund raiser to provide
the mujahedeen freedom fighters whatever aid and military equipment he
could.
By 1988, he established his now-famous organization, Al Qaeda, to provide
more military muscle and financing to the Afghan resistance. 
-
An aggressive fundraiser? Is that what Saddam Hussein was when we were
funding him in his struggle against Iran? That's certainly funny way of
putting it.

Does anyone see a pattern here? The US builds up vicious leaders who oppose
our Enemies Du Jour and these same leaders turn around and become our
worst
enemies. We conveniently forget that the US has backed (if not outright
created) some of the most despicable regimes in history.

Blowback chronicles
Giles Foden
Saturday September 15, 2001

During the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan, US officials passed billions
in
funding and training to the mojahedin. The CIA, in particular while under
the
direction of William Casey - head of the agency during the Reagan
administration - was the main manager of these operations. With the Russian
withdrawal in 1989, the CIA celebrated its victory with champagne. So
says
Unholy Wars: Afghanistan, America and International Terrorism (Pluto Press,
£12.99), the definitive account by ABC journalist John Cooley.

and:

Cooley points out that while the State Department released a fact sheet on
bin Laden in 1997 (the year prior to the bombing of the East African
embassies), the document omits the background facts which help to explain
how early and close were his connections in the United States - making it
easier for the Reagan-Casey jihad team to enlist his talents and his
fortune.

and:

Everyone was getting along famously, according to Cooley. Delighted by his
impeccable Saudi credentials, the CIA gave Osama free rein in Afghanistan,
as
did Pakistan's intelligence generals.
-

From an MSNBC article:

http://www.msnbc.com/local/pencilnews/158716.asp

But in 1979, bin Laden left Saudi Arabia to fight in Afghanistan. He
fought
on the side of the mujaheddin, which were right-wing Islamic troops who
fought against the Soviet invasion and puppet government.

The mujaheddin was backed by a number of countries, including the United
States. In fact, some experts believe that bin Laden received some training
from the CIA.
-
and

http://www.msnbc.com/news/627355.asp

Osama bin Laden, one-time ally of the CIA in the war against the Soviet
army
in Afghanistan, is now the primary suspect in the attacks on the World

Center and the Pentagon, the most deadly terrorist assaults in U.S.

THE CENTRAL Intelligence Agency (CIA) worked in tandem with Pakistan to

I warned them that we were creating a monster, Selig Harrison from the
Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars said at the conference

Asia.

Harrison said: The CIA made a historic mistake in encouraging Islamic

that
they should decide how this money should be spent, Harrison said.

This brings up a frequently heard allegation from the left. But I'm
interested in answers to the following. Who was blacklisted and why? And
then...an even bigger question...by whom? Are you telling us that Sen.
McCarthy and friends kept these people from getting work in Hollywood?
That's a stretch my friend...leftist urban folk tales to the contrary
notwithstanding. Let's place the blame right where it belongs, on the
Hollywood elite themselves. Those blacklisted (if in fact they were) could
not get work because the directors/producers/studio owners would not hire
them. Not because Joe McCarthy circulated some commie shitlist.

You know...it's funny to me. When the left is in decline and disfavor in our
nation, they moan and cry and whine about wanting a place at the table.
The right is then charicatured as biased and discriminatory. But when
the left is in ascendancy, all such talk evaporates and their agenda is
pursued with a relentless fervor and they will destroy anyone who stands in
their way. McCarthy is such a convenient whipping boy. But character
assassination and so-called blacklisting are a way of life for the left.

they were informed but let it happen. MOSSAD TOLD them, too. Here: read.



  Copyright 2001 The Jerusalem Post

   The Jerusalem Post

   September 17, 2001, Monday

SECTION: NEWS; Pg. 3

LENGTH: 391 words

HEADLINE: Mossad warned CIA of attacks - report

BYLINE: Douglas Davis

BODY:

LONDON - Mossad officials traveled to Washington last month to warn the
CIA and the FBI that a cell of up to 200 terrorists was planning a major
operation, according to a report in the Sunday Telegraph here yesterday.

The paper said the Israeli officials specifically warned their
counterparts in Washington that large-scale terrorist attacks on highly
visible targets on the American mainland were imminent. They offered no
specific information about targets, but they did link the plot to
Afghanistan-based terrorist Osama bin Laden, and they told the Americans
there were strong grounds for suspecting Iraqi involvement.

A US administration official told the paper that it was quite credible
that the CIA did not heed the Mossad warning: It has a history of being
over-cautious about Israeli information. But the official noted that
if this is true, then the refusal to take it seriously will mean heads
will roll.

In another development, the Sunday Times reported that an account at a
branch of Barclays Bank in the London district of Notting Hill was used
by a suspected bin Laden lieutenant to finance and disseminate Bin
Laden's fatwas (religious rulings) and to maintain contacts with various
elements in bin Laden's global network.

The account was held by Saudi dissident Khalid al- Fawwaz, who is
currently being held in custody awaiting the outcome of extradition
proceedings to the United States on charges of conspiring with bin Laden
to murder Americans.

The Barclays account is understood to form part of a web of bank
accounts and front companies used by bin Laden to underwrite his Al
Qaida terror network.

Court documents link Fawwaz to a Bin Laden fatwa calling for the death
of American civilians anywhere in the world they can be found, which
was faxed directly to him by Bin Laden.

Fawwaz was personally appointed by bin Laden to set up and run the
London-based Advice and Reformation Committee. The organization was
ostensibly dedicated to war-relief work, but British and US officials
now believe it was in fact a component in Bin Laden's terror network.

Fawwaz is also thought to have been directly involved in the terrorist
cell that perpetrated the simultaneous bombings of the US embassies in
Dar es Salaam and Nairobi in 1998. More than 200 people died in those
attacks.

BUSH'S FAUSTIAN DEAL WITH THE TALIBAN

Enslave your girls and women, harbor anti-U.S.  terrorists, destroy

violators of human rights in the world today.  The gift, announced
last Thursday by Secretary of State Colin Powell, in addition to
other recent aid, makes the U.S.  the main sponsor of the Taliban and
rewards that rogue regime for declaring that opium growing is
against the will of God.  So, too, by the Taliban's estimation, are
most human activities, but it's the ban on drugs that catches this
administration's attention.

Never mind that Osama bin Laden still operates the leading
anti-American terror operation from his base in Afghanistan, from
which, among other crimes, he launched two bloody attacks on American
embassies in Africa in 1998.

Sadly, the Bush administration is cozying up to the Taliban regime at
a time when the United Nations, at U.S.  insistence, imposes
sanctions on Afghanistan because the Kabul government will not turn
over Bin Laden.

The war on drugs has become our own fanatics' obsession and easily
trumps all other concerns.  How else could we come to reward the
Taliban, who has subjected the female half of the Afghan population
to a continual reign of terror in a country once considered
enlightened in its treatment of women.

 It's likely that the decision not to disable navigation aids was taken out
of concern that doing so would merely shift the danger from deliberate to
accidental causes. We don't know how the decision was reached, whether by
refusing to implement the required response to an Air Defense Emergency, or
simply by declining to declare one; but in any case we have another fine
example of a self-destructive regulation. There's irony in having an
emergency procedure on the books which can't be implemented safely. SCATANA
is a cold-war fossil which has advantage only when the attack promises to do
more damage than the inevitable accidents the procedure will invite -- say
when nuclear-armed bombers are racing towards North America. Too bad no one
thought to update it when the cold war ended.

Well said! Sad...but true. And we are so often reactionary rather than

Continuing Commentary on the WTC Attacks



David McGowan

http://www.davesweb.cnchost.com

September 16, 2001


Nothing just happens in politics. If something happens you can be

sure it was planned that way.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt


It seems as though more people have been watching the Discovery

Channel than the planners of the attacks on the WTC and the Pentagon

may have accounted for. A good number of people are questioning

exactly why the collapse of the towers looked so much like a

controlled implosion. Anyone who has seen a documentary clip of a

building being professionally demolished using explosive charges

couldn't help but be struck by the remarkable similarity.


One demolition and explosives expert from New Mexico has already gone

public with his suspicions that the building was deliberately

imploded. Architects and engineers who designed the building were at

a loss to explain how it could react in such a manner. One expert,

prompted by his interviewer to comment on if more steel in the

structure could have prevented the tragedy, could only say that it

was hard to imagine how any more steel could have been incorporated

into any structure.


And it was, as we all know, not just one tower that literally

crumbled before our very eyes, but both of them in identical fashion.

As I myself was pondering that rather curious fact, I stumbled upon

yet another article giving a first-person report on the tragedy. This

particular account concerned an architecture student, who viewed the

unfolding drama from across the bay.


Some of his first thoughts - after the buildings had been struck, but

before they disappeared - were that it would be difficult, if not

impossible, to fight a fire at that height, and that it would without

question be impossible to repair the damaged building. He found

himself pondering what would become of the imposing towers, being no

longer fit to be occupied. And then, of course, they just sort of

vanished.


Suddenly the plan began to come into focus. The initial crashes and

explosions, which were essential for the shock value of being so

utterly audacious, would necessarily destroy the buildings. It would

have therefore been necessary, at some time in the future, to implode

the buildings. Why not then include it as part of the show?


It seems a little odd that the period of time that elapsed between

the suicide bombings and the implosions appears to have been just

about the amount of time that it took to evacuate the buildings. That

could account for why the casualty figures have been, assuming that

they are being accurately reported, remarkably low.


It could also account for why the first tower to crumble was not the

first one hit. According to claims made by some avenues of the media,

the collapses were the result of the structures being weakened by the

fires, with the upper stories essentially pancaking down upon the

buildings and the underlying floors giving way to the collective

weight of the chain reaction.


But if this were true, wouldn't it be expected that the first tower

hit, which had been burning for nearly twenty minutes longer, would

be the first to collapse? Of course, it would also be expected that

the second tower, having the benefit of beginning evacuation twenty

minutes before utter chaos reigned, would be the first to be emptied

out. Quite a lucky break then that it was the first to fall.


To stir up as much outrage as possible, it was of course necessary to

get footage of the crashes themselves, as well as the implosions,

although it seems a little odd that the first crash was recorded so

professionally, as if someone was waiting for it camera in hand. That

footage, of course, has incalculable propaganda value.


Propaganda is certainly something that we have seen a lot of in the

last week. The sheer volume of, and the monotony of, the media

coverage has been astounding. Every station across the television

dial playing the same footage and providing the same unquestioning

commentary continuously, around the clock, from the moment the first

plane hit the tower.


The media barrage is unavoidable. Absurdly large headlines scream out

from every newspaper and magazine, and every radio station seems to

sound the same. There is no escape. And there is likely a reason for

that. Somewhere in the halls of power, there just may be an awareness

that the official story of the 'terrorist' attacks isn't very

convincing.


It isn't by chance that there is nothing else to be found on the

television dial beyond images of planes crashing into buildings. It

was reported on Saturday that the networks had been demonstrating

what was said to be an unusually high level of cooperation during

this crisis. They've actually been talking amongst themselves to

decide how long the bombardment of the national consciousness should

go on.


It has likely been deemed necessary to

Bin Laden: 'It wasn't me' - and it may be true


Funny, I seem to remember this same guy initially getting blamed for
the OKC bombing.

But it wasn't him.

Now, after a week of hurling accusations, Feds admit they have
absolutely nothing solid linking bin Laden to the WTC and Pentagon
devastation.

It's deja vu all over again.

Bin Laden Denies Role In Attack - He And Family Go Into Hiding

By Luke Harding and Rory McCarthy in Islamabad
Brian Whitaker and Richard Norton-Taylor

The Guardian - London
9-17-1

Osama bin Laden has abandoned his main base near Kandahar in fear of
attack by the US and has moved to an undisclosed location in the
mountains, sources in the Afghan city said last night.

The Saudi-born dissident's large family, together with his Arab
followers, has also left the city, the sources added. His four wives
and many children have taken refuge in the countryside, according to
reports.

Bin Laden and his men have apparently moved to one of their many
hideouts in a remote part of the country. His decision to vacate the
southern Afghan city was not only for his personal security, but to
reduce the chances of civilian casualties in case of an attack, his
aides said.

In a statement faxed to the pro-Taliban Afghan Islamic Press (AIP)
agency, Bin Laden yesterday denied having anything to do with last
week's attacks in New York and Washington. I am residing in
Afghanistan. I have taken an oath of allegiance [to the Taliban's
spiritual leader, Mullah Mohammad Omar] which does not allow me to do
such things from Afghanistan, he claimed.

We have been blamed in the past, but we were not involved, he said.
The fax, written in Arabic, was sent from a secret location, AIP said.

In the past, Bin Laden has shifted base whenever there has been any
threat of American retaliation, most recently last October after the
attack on the USS Cole in Yemen, in which 17 sailors were killed.

He has several main bases inside Afghanistan - a large camp next to
Kandahar airport, where several hundred of his Arab followers live, a
smaller base in the Oruzgan mountains and a third camp near the south-
eastern city of Jalalabad, cut into a rockface.

But he is also believed to have a network of smaller hideouts, many
of which were used by the mojahedin in the 1980s in their guerrilla
war against Soviet troops. Afghanistan is a large country with
mountains, deserts and remote valleys.

One source said that Bin Laden had the choice of many isolated and
secure sanctuaries, adding: There are plenty of places to hide.

Locating him is only one problem that the Bush administration faces.
The US vice-president, Dick Cheney, said yesterday that he had no
doubt that Bin Laden was the prime suspect, but proving that he
had directly instigated or funded last week's attacks on the US was
likely to be
another matter.

Although no evidence linking Bin Laden to the attacks has been
disclosed, reports yesterday linked one of the suspected hijackers to
the suicide bomb attack on USS Cole.

Newsweek and the Los Angeles Times said that Khalid al-Midhar, who
died in the crash at the Pentagon, had earlier been captured by a
surveillance video meeting one of the Cole suspects in Kuala Lumpur,
Malaysia.

But despite strong suspicions that Bin Laden was behind the attack on
the warship in Aden, no specific evidence of his role has emerged.
One of the most tantalising pointers is that Abdul al-Muhsin al-
Taifi, named as one of the two suicide bombers in Yemen, was wanted
for questioning about the 1998 bombing of the American embassy in
Nairobi, for which Bin Laden has also been blamed.

British intelligence sources say that Bin Laden's sympathisers have
no formal structure, making it extremely difficult to penetrate his
al-Qaida organisation or to find hard evidence against it.

It is an informal network which crosses international boundaries,
one source said. The members do not see themselves as a part of a
group and, unlike the IRA and other terrorist groups, they do not
operate in cells.

Rather they are a collection of individuals inspired by Bin Laden,
the intelligence sources added.

Did We Handcuff the CIA?
The national security hawks say yes. The CIA says no.

By David Corn
Posted Tuesday, Sept. 18, 2001, at 12:30 p.m. PT



Before the remains of the World Trade Center had even cooled, national
security hawks took to the airwaves to blame CIA reforms for the failure of
the intelligence community to detect and prevent the attack.

We were basically spying with one arm tied behind our back, said R. James
Woolsey, CIA chief in the early 1990s, on CNN's Late Edition With Wolf Blitzer
, citing 1995 CIA guidelines that regulate the recruitment of sources who
have a history of criminal activity and human-rights violations. These
restrictive limitations on not being able to recruit people who have some
violence in their past as spies were ridiculous.

On Crossfire, Woolsey claimed these regulations make it difficult to
penetrate terrorists. ... It's like telling the FBI to penetrate the Mafia
without putting any criminals on its payrolls. Ambassador Paul Bremer, who
chaired a national commission on terrorism, chimed in, telling CNN that the
Church Committee, the Senate panel that investigated CIA misdeeds in the
1970s, did a lot of damage to our intelligence services. ... And the more
recent problem was that the previous administration put into effect
guidelines which restricted the ability of CIA agents to go after ...
terrorist spies. President George Bush the First, a past CIA chief, and Vice
President Dick Cheney concurred. Sen. Richard Shelby of Alabama, the ranking
Republican on the intelligence committee, blasted the regulations and
demanded that the country take the wraps off the spies.

The Senate took steps to do just that last Thursday by passing The Combating
Terrorism Act of 2001, part of which instructs the CIA to rescind the 1995
guidelines. But despite all the vamping, removing the guidelines won't help
the United States wage its new war on terrorism. And there's no indication
the CIA even wants the rules lifted.

The 1995 guidelines were written after the press revealed that a thuggish
Guatemalan military official, who had been involved in the murder of an
American hotelier and the torture and murder of a rebel leader married to an
American, was on the CIA payroll. (By the way, the agency had withheld
information from Congress about its relationship with this killer.) The
guidelines have never been made public, but CIA officials have described them
to Hill staffers and intelligence-watchers. The rules compel CIA case
officers to notify headquarters when they recruit a violent brute as a
source, and they require the recruitment be reviewed at a senior level. But
they don't prohibit the CIA from working with terrorists to discover what
terrorists are doing. CIA case officers are free to seek and pay informants
within terrorist outfits. They merely have to alert supervisors back home and
receive a go-ahead.

The fuss about these guidelines is totally a bunch of hooey, says one
government employee familiar with the rules (who cannot be identified any
further). They do not forbid anything.

In June 2000, CIA spokesman Bill Harlow denied that the guidelines unduly
restricted the agency: The notion that our human rights guidelines are an
impediment to fighting terrorism is simply wrong. No one knows better than we
do that when combating terrorism it is often necessary to deal with unsavory
individuals. But we do so with eyes wide open and appropriate notification to
senior officials.

Harlow noted that the CIA has never, ever turned down a request to use
someone, even someone with a record of human rights abuses, if we thought
that person could be valuable in our overall counterterrorism program. Last
year, the CIA did not back an effort in Congress to kill these rules, which
can be rescinded by the CIA director or the president without the passage of
legislation.

While the hawks argue the guidelines discourage risk-taking in the field, the
rules may well enhance derring-do. A case officer who recruits a terrorist as
a source under the guidelines is protected from a reprimand from above if the
terrorist takes part in, say, a bombing plot.

Penetrations of tightly knit secret organizations, a task that the agency has
never done well, won't be improved by erasing the guidelines. Those who blame
the current crisis on intelligence reformers deceive the public by falsely
raising expectations—just get rid of these pesky rules, and the CIA will be
inside Osama Bin Laden's tent. And, more importantly, all their huffing
distracts the nation from the actual intelligence failures that preceded
Sept. 11.

Why Hollywood Hates Kazan
by John F. McManus

On March 21st, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences will present
an honorary Academy Award to 89-year-old Elia Kazan, one of the most
legendary film directors to ply his trade in Hollywood. Already the
recipient of Oscars for directing Gentleman's Agreement and On the
Waterfront, Kazan certainly doesn't need any further recognition. Yet,
certain that its decision would provoke opposition, the 39-member Academy
board decided unanimously in January that Kazan should also be given a
Lifetime Achievement award.

Why controversy over an award for this immigrant Greek-American? Simply
because on April 10, 1952, Kazan testified before the House Committee on
Un-American Activities (HCUA) about his knowledge of the Communist Party
membership of eight former comrades.

In the 1930s, Kazan was a member of a Communist Party theatrical cell whose
goals at the time ran from heaping praise on the Soviet Union to adoration
for Stalin and the Soviet Union's worker's paradise. His fellow Hollywood
Reds also worked aggressively to stifle production of anti-Communist films
and to harm the careers of the industry's opponents of Communism. In 1935,
Kazan fully grasped the harm of all this activity and he left the Party. It
was 17 years later when he was asked to identify those he knew from the past
who had never severed their Communist affiliations.

Kazan's testimony offered no new information, but merely confirmed what HCUA
had already learned about his former colleagues. But immediately after
cooperating with the House investigators, Kazan placed an advertisement in
the New York Times to explain why he had done what the Communists and other
leftists considered dark treachery. In the ad, Kazan pointed out that
Communism was a dangerous and alien conspiracy, and he urged liberals to
speak out about it. Had he expressed disagreement with Communism and
merely characterized it an unfortunate mistake, it is likely that little
would have been made of his naming names. Others had similarly defected
and had never suffered the vilification Kazan received. But having labeled
the Communist dominance over Hollywood the work of a conspiracy, a word
that emphatically connotes deliberate evildoing, he became the target of
decades of hatred from the Marxist left.

In 1988, Kazan's memoirs were published under the title A Life. Recalling
his 1952 decision to cooperate with the HCUA, he wrote: Wasn't what I'd
been defending up until now by my silence a conspiracy working for another
country? He knew that Communists at every opportunity had defended Stalin's
purges, ignored the forced famine in Ukraine, excused the USSR's pact with
Nazi Germany, and acclaimed other inhuman aspects of the Soviet
experiment. Kazan refused to regard these Communists as mere civil
libertarians who had a right to think what they wanted and say what they
believed. In the end, he concluded: I believed that this committee, which
everyone scorned - I had plenty against them too - had a proper duty. I
wanted to help break open the secrecy.

Because he was a highly regarded film and theatrical producer, Kazan's
cooperation gave the House investigators a degree of legitimacy during a
period when they were being widely attacked. Not surprisingly, he continues
even now to be identified as a participant in the work of Senator Joseph
McCarthy, an impossibility inasmuch as he supplied information to a House
committee and McCarthy, a senator, had absolutely no involvement with its
work.

Nor did Elia Kazan have anything to do with the Hollywood Ten blacklisting
that occurred during the late 1940s. That effort also resulted from the work
of HCUA, but the committee didn't blacklist anyone. In November 1947, a
statement agreed to by 50 top officials of the Motion Picture Association of
America announced that their industry would not knowingly employ a
Communist or a member of any party or group which advocates the overthrow of
the government of the United States

The Hollywood Ten was a group of motion picture writers and directors who
had defied the House committee and were summarily cited for contempt of
Congress for refusing to answer questions about their Communist connections.
But those ten were far from the only Hollywood luminaries who had put their
talents to work subverting America with pro-Communist films. There were
hundreds more, some of whom fled to Europe to produce their propaganda, and
many more who continued their work under assumed names. By 1960, so-called
blacklisting was a thing of the past, and nearly everyone went happily
back to work.

Nearly all, that is, except Kazan and other opponents of Communism, who
ended up victims of the never-broken leftist control over Hollywood. Kazan
became a non-person to most of Hollywood's elite and his talent was never
tapped to the extent that other less-gifted colleagues have enjoyed.

Anti-Taleban faction sides with Bin Laden

By Jim Muir in Tehran

http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/world/south_asia/newsid_1551000/1551297.stm

A leading figure in Afghanistan's anti-Taleban opposition, Gulbuddin
Hekmatyar, has said the Americans are wrong to blame Osama Bin Laden for
the attacks in New York and Washington.

Speaking to the BBC, Mr Hekmatyar said the Americans had no right to
attack Afghanistan.

He warned that if they did, his and other groups would fight against them.

Mr Hekmatyar and his Hizb-e Eslami party were major players in the
struggle to end the Soviet occupation of the country and in the subsequent
power struggle between rival Afghan factions before the Taleban
practically swept the board in the mid-1990s.

Since then he has been based in Iran, though he retains some pockets of
influence in northern Afghanistan.

National loyalty first

But now, far from cheering the Americans on against the Taleban, he says
Washington is making a big mistake.

Mr Hekmatyar said he had no reason not to believe Bin Laden's denial of
involvement in the New York and Washington attacks.

He said the Americans had no justification for an attack on Afghanistan in
which the Afghan people would be the victims.

He made it clear that if the Americans staged an invasion and tried to
install a friendly regime, his and other groups would return to
Afghanistan and oppose them.

New unity

I think if Afghanistan is attacked by America, then our nation has no
other choice but to defend their country... The whole of our nation will
stand against the attack on their country and... we will go and join our
nation, Mr Hekmatyar said.

The Afghan opposition is notoriously fragmented.

But Mr Hekmatyar said that if the Americans staged a major operation, as
he believed they would, they would succeed in uniting the Afghan factions
against them in the same way as the Soviets did.

And he believed that the US would be no more successful than the Soviets
were in imposing their will on the country.

If nothing else, Mr Hekmatyar's warning served as a reminder of the
dangerous vacuum and likely chaos that would ensue if the Taleban regime
were to be driven out.

[CTRL] Clinton, the Ever-Clever Bastard

2001-09-19 Thread Archibald Bard

-Caveat Lector-

Reprinted from NewsMax.com
CIA Officials Reveal What Went Wrong – Clinton to Blame
Christopher Ruddy
Wednesday, Sept. 12, 2001

The worst, single most tragic day in the history of America has just passed.

Tuesday more Americans likely died than all the casualties of the Battle of Antietam 
on Wednesday, Sept. 17, 1862.

Already the media spin on yesterday's events is relentless.

The talking heads are pushing several themes, including:

* Now is not the time to point fingers at responsible parties in America, i.e., 
political figures like Clinton or our own security agencies.

* The events of Tuesday are the worst-case scenario – the worst is over.

* Osama bin Laden is the culprit.

On these points of spin, the first one is baloney. Of course we need to find why our 
security failed. This is basic.

And unless the big media are consulting a psychic better than the one I use, no one 
knows what the future days, weeks and months may yield.

This is not the worst-case scenario. A worst-case scenario is a 25-megaton nuclear 
bomb detonated in New York or a full-scale attack against the U.S.! These should not 
be ruled out.

These dangers can be avoided, we pray, but only if we stop listening to the media 
idiots that feed us a diet of blow-dried nonsense. Is Katie Couric going to say how 
bad she feels for the terrorists who were driven to these cowardly acts?

It is the big media and the hack politicians that led us to this nightmarish day.

Smart to Examine Who Failed Us

We are Americans, so let's get our feet back on the ground and use common sense.

The media say we shouldn't point fingers. (Funny, isn't it, how the media have spent 
30 years pointing fingers at Richard Nixon for his alleged crimes, but when one of 
their liberal favorites is due for some blame, they feed us the mantras like Let's 
move on! and No time to point fingers!)

Common sense, in fact, dictates that we need to critically examine the people who are 
to blame for this incident, both the perpetrators (and if you believe Osama bin Laden 
was the major mastermind behind this, I have a bridge in Brooklyn I want to sell you) 
and the people we pay to protect us – that is, our national security agencies.

Without question, these agencies failed miserably in preventing this sophisticated, 
wide-scale and coordinated attack against America.

Intelligence Agencies Failed Miserably

Tuesday I received an e-mail from a recently retired high-ranking CIA official. I will 
identify him as Harry:

Here's what Harry said:

... Reacting effectively and justly to this [attack] makes us hugely dependent on 
intell [intelligence] capabilities that failed us miserably. This is an enormous 
liability, which we shall not be able to fix before we have to react. Payback time for 
the last eight years!

He continued: There were clearly enormous failures here. This operation was ingenious 
in its simplicity, which would have limited the size (number of people, actions) of 
the operation and hence detectability. But it could not have been that small for at 
least a dozen men to hijack four carefully chosen aircraft (routes, fuel load) with 
carefully coordinated timing. And to get through security with knives big enough to 
subdue four relatively large crews. If the intell and security systems claim that this 
challenge is simply too hard for them, they have to be replaced, root and branch. 
Because this challenge is the challenge. It is now pretty self-evident that claims of 
reform and adjustment [at the intelligence agencies] to new realities that we've heard 
over the past eight years or so are hollow.

Of course, it's obvious why the media doesn't want any finger pointing.

Guess who ran the U.S. government and was responsible for our national security for 
the past eight years?

Yes, you got it, Bill Clinton, Hillary's husband.

Clinton Responsible for Unpreparedness

The Clintons were supported vociferously by the media through the worst imaginable 
scandals.

During that time I was one of the lead reporters opposing the Clintons. I was mocked 
and vilified by my colleagues for doing so.

I said throughout that period that Bill Clinton's personal corruption was wholesale 
and mirrored how he was corrupting America's national security.

I wrote articles and said repeatedly that America, sadly, may end up paying a heavy 
price for Bill Clinton and the major media's complicity.

I don't believe the worst has passed with the incidents of today.

We remain vulnerable and weak.

Brutally, we witnessed our weakness today.

During eight years, Clinton decimated America's military. Our forces were cut almost 
in half under his stewardship.

Research and development on all new weapons systems were brought almost to a halt as 
other nations continued to build. Clinton destroyed nearly our entire arsenal of 
tactical nuclear weapons. Monsters like Saddam flourished as Clinton bombed aspirin 
factories, tent cities in

[CTRL] AMER. FLAG BANNED ON NY CABLE CHANNEL 12

2001-09-19 Thread Archibald Bard

-Caveat Lector-

NewsMax.com
Wednesday Sept. 19, 2001; 12:41 p.m. EDT

American Flag Banned on New York Cable Channel

While most Americans can't get enough of Old Glory in the wake of last week's 
terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon, Cable News Channel 12 on New 
York's Long Island has actually banned the American flag from its airwaves.

Our office is a newsroom and news people are committed to supplying objective 
information on events here and around the world, wrote Pat Dolan, News 12 news 
director, in a memo banning on-air-flag displays distributed to employees Sunday.

Dolan became concerned when American flags began popping up in his newsroom and -- 
horrors -- even on the lapels of some of his anchors. Meanwhile all the other 
networks, both broadcast and cable, drench themselves in red, white and blue.

We have to avoid giving a false impression that we lean one way or the other, said 
the news director, who's apparently trying to strike a balance between his fellow 
Americans and the terrorists who have vowed to kill them.

In an interview with Long Island's Newsday, which reported News 12's flag ban in print 
editions only, Dolan admitted the move has angered some of his employees.

We've had a few heated discussions.

But he stuck to his guns. What we're trying to do is make clear that our guys can 
express their patriotism, but we don't want the flag to be associated with their daily 
activities as electronic journalists.

Dolan called the on-air flag waving a real problem when war breaks out, explaining 
that he doesn't want his viewers to get the impression that we may subtly endorse 
what the government is doing.

Subcribers to New York media giant Cablevision, which owns News 12 along with The Wiz, 
Radio City Music Hall, Madison Square Garden, the Knicks and the Rangers, will 
undoubtedly be interested to learn of Dolan's position.

Who did it? Foreign Report presents an alternative view
Israel’s military intelligence service, Aman, suspects that Iraq is
the state that sponsored the suicide attacks on the New York Trade
Center and the Pentagon in Washington. Directing the mission, Aman
officers believe, were two of the world’s foremost terrorist
masterminds: the Lebanese Imad Mughniyeh, head of the special
overseas operations for Hizbullah, and the Egyptian Dr Ayman Al
Zawahiri, senior member of Al-Qaeda and possible successor of the
ailing Osama Bin Laden.
The two men have not been seen for some time. Mughniyeh is probably
the world’s most wanted outlaw. Unconfirmed reports in Beirut say he
has undergone plastic surgery and is unrecognisable. Zawahiri is
thought to be based in Egypt. He could be Bin Laden’s chief
representative outside Afghanistan.
The Iraqis, who for several years paid smaller groups to do their
dirty work, were quick to discover the advantages of Al-Qaeda. The
Israeli sources claim that for the past two years Iraqi intelligence
officers were shutt
ling between Baghdad and Afghanistan, meeting with Ayman Al Zawahiri. According to the 
sources, one of the Iraqi intelligence officers, Salah Suleiman, was captured last 
October by the Pakistanis near the border with Afgh
anistan. The Iraqis are also reported to have established strong ties with Imad 
Mughniyeh.
We’ve only got scraps of information, not the full picture, admits one intelligence 
source, but it was good enough for us to send a warning six weeks ago to our allies 
that an unprecedented massive terror attack was ex
pected. One of our indications suggested that Imad Mughniyeh met with some of his 
dormant agents on secret trips to Germany. We believe that the operational brains 
behind the New-York attack were Mughniyeh and Zawahiri, w
ho were probably financed and got some logistical support from the Iraqi Intelligence 
Service (SSO).
Mughniyeh was the only one believed to have tried it before. On April 12th 1997, he 
was reported to be only two hours away from achieving the highest goal of any 
terrorist organisation (until last week): blowing up an Isr
aeli El-Al airliner above Tel Aviv. A man carrying a forged British passport with the 
name Andrew Jonathan Neumann was in a Jerusalem hotel preparing a bomb he was supposed 
to take on board an El-Al flight leaving Israel,
 when it accidentally went off. Andrew Jonathan Neumann was very badly injured but 
strong enough to reveal later to the Israelis that he was not British but Lebanese, 
and that his operation was supposed to be a special g
ift to Israel from Imad Mughniyeh.
‘A psychopath’
Bin Laden is a schoolboy in comparison with Mughniyeh, says an Israeli who knows 
Mughniyeh . The guy is a genius, someone who refined the art of terrorism to its 
utmost level. We studied him and reached the conclusion
that he is a clinical psychopath motivated by uncontrollable psychological reasons, 
which we have given up trying to understand. The killing of his two brothers by the 
Americans only inflamed his strong motivation.
Experts on Iraq and Saddam Hussein also believe that Iraq was the state behind the two 
terror masterminds. In recent months, there was a change, and Iraq decided to get 
into the terror business. On July 7th, they tried f
or the first time to send a suicide bomber, trained in Baghdad, to blow up Tel Aviv 
airport (Foreign Report No. 2651).
Our sources believe that it will be very difficult to get to the bottom of this 
unprecedented terror operation. However, they believe the chief of the Iraqi SSO is 
Qusai Hussein, the dictator’s son, and his organisation i
s the most likely to have been involved.
Mughniyeh, 48, is a sick man, says an intelligence officer who was in charge of his 
file. He is considered by Western intelligence agencies as the most dangerous active 
terrorist today. He is wanted by several governmen
ts and the Americans have put a $2m reward on his head.
[Detailed list of Mughniyeh operations removed for Non-Subscriber Extract]
It was the assassination of one man in March 1984 that is said to have made Mughniyeh 
the CIA’s most wanted terrorist. Mughniyeh allegedly kidnapped the head of the CIA 
station in Beirut, William Buckley. The kidnapping t
riggered what later became known as ‘Irangate’, when the Americans tried to exchange 
Buckley (and others) with arms for Iran. However, the attempt ended in a fiasco. By 
one unconfirmed account, Mughniyeh tortured and kill
ed Buckley with his own hands.
A year later, in a combined CIA/Mossad operation, a powerful car bomb went off at the 
entrance to the house of Hizbullah’s spiritual leader, Sheikh Muhammad Hussein 
Fadlallah. Seventy-five people were killed. One of them
was his brother. Hunted by the CIA and the Mossad, Mughniyeh hid in Iran.

Hijackers connected to Albanian terrorist cell
By Bill Gertz
THE WASHINGTON TIMES

 U.S. intelligence officials are investigating ties between the
terrorists who carried out suicide airliner attacks and associates of
Osama bin Laden based in Albania.


 The connections were described as support for the terrorist
operation to hijack U.S. commercial jetliners and crash them into the
Pentagon and the World Trade Center, according to U.S. intelligence
officials.
 No further details of the support could be learned.
 One official said intelligence reports about the Albanian
connection to the attacks is one of several leads being pursued
overseas by the CIA and other U.S. intelligence agencies.
 Bin Laden and his organization, al Qaeda, are believed to have
small groups of terrorists or supporters in 50 to 60 nations,
including Albania, according to U.S. officials.
 Asked if getting bin Laden is the U.S. goal, Secretary of State
Colin L. Powell told reporters yesterday that we are after the al
Qaeda network.
 It's not one individual, Mr. Powell said. It's lots of
individuals, and it's lots of cells. ... Osama bin Laden is the
chairman of a holding company. And within that holding company are
terrorist cells and organizations in dozens of countries around the
world.
 The administration's war on terrorism will start with that one
individual — bin Laden.
 It will not be over until we have gotten into the inside of
this organization, inside its decision cycle, inside its planning
cycle, inside its execution capability, and until we have neutralized
and destroyed it, Mr. Powell said. That's our objective.
 Albania is one of several places U.S. intelligence agencies are
focusing their resources — from human agents to electronic
eavesdropping.
 Since the mid-1990s, bin Laden associates have been based in
Tirana, Albania's capital, as well as in at least two other towns in
the small, formerly communist nation, U.S. officials said.
 Islamic radicals, including supporters of bin Laden, have been
supporting Albanian rebels fighting in the region, including members
of the Kosovo Liberation Army. Intelligence officials have said there
are reports that KLA members have been trained at bin Laden training
camps in Afghanistan.
 Bin Laden and his Islamic extremist group, al Qaeda, are the
main suspects in last week's terrorist attacks.
 As of last year, the group operated a residence in Tirana, and
the CIA has been pressing Albania's government to expel all
associates of the Islamic terrorists.
 According to U.S. officials, bin Laden gained a foothold in
Albania in 1994 by portraying himself to the government there as a
wealthy Saudi national who was in charge of a humanitarian agency
that could help Albania.
 Albanian intelligence believes terrorists have benefited from
the theft of some 1,000 blank Albanian passports that were stolen
during riots in 1997, according to a 1998 report in the London Sunday
Telegraph.
 Since the attack, the FBI has detained 49 persons, many of whom
appear to be of Middle Eastern descent. Four of the detainees were
are identified as material witnesses to the Sept. 11 attacks. None
has been identified by nationality and the passports they used to
enter the United States also have not been identified.
 In 1998, U.S. and Albanian authorities broke up an Islamic
terrorist cell in Albania and arrested two members of the bin Laden
group.
 The CIA was able to obtain a large quantity of documents and
computer equipment that led to further arrests. Two members of the
group, Egyptian nationals, were turned over to anti-terrorist police
in Egypt that year.
 Bin Laden's group has a network in Albania, said former CIA
counterterrorism official Vince Cannistraro.
 This looks like the support operation [for the U.S. attacks]
was worldwide, he said of reports of the Albanian connection.
 Albanian Police Chief Bilbil Mema told Agence France-Presse on
Thursday that Albania had ceased to be a safe haven for terrorism.
In Albania there is no longer an Islamic threat, Mr. Mema was
quoted as saying. This country is no longer a refuge for Islamic
terrorists.
 Albanian security and intelligence authorities, in cooperation
with the CIA, had successfully led operations aimed at destroying
the network that Islamic terrorists have attempted to establish in
this country, Mr. Mema said.

Fighters Were 8 Minutes Away From WTC
The Associated Press
Wednesday, Sept. 19, 2001; 9:18 a.m. EDT
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. ––  Fighter jets were only eight minutes away
from one of the hijacked airliners when it crashed into the World
Trade Center, the North American Aerospace Defense Command said in
newly released data.
Two other military jets were 12 minutes away when an airliner hit the
Pentagon, according to NORAD's official timeline, released Tuesday.
President Bush had not authorized military pilots to shoot down any
civilian planes until after the crash at the Pentagon, and military
officials have questioned what fighters would have been able to do
even if they had been in time. Nonetheless, the NORAD timeline
quantifies how close they were to the scene of the Sept. 11
hijackings.
According to the timeline:
–The Federal Aviation Administration alerted NORAD's Northeast Air
Defense Sector in Rome, N.Y., at 8:40 a.m. EDT that American Airlines
Flight 11 had been hijacked after taking off from Boston en route to
Los Angeles. At 8:43 a.m., the FAA notified NORAD that United
Airlines Flight 175 from Boston to Los Angeles had also been
hijacked.
–NORAD ordered two F-15 jet fighters into the air from Otis Air
National Guard Base in Falmouth, Mass., at 8:46 a.m. At about that
time, American Flight 11 crashed into the World Trade Center.
–The F-15s were airborne at 8:52 a.m. Just after 9 a.m., as United
Flight 175 struck the World Trade Center, the F-15s were eight
minutes away, or 71 miles.
–The FAA notified NORAD at 9:24 a.m. that a third jet, American
Flight 77 bound from Washington to Los Angeles, had been hijacked.
NORAD ordered two F-16 fighters from Langley Air Force Base in
Virginia to intercept the airliner.
–The fighters were airborne at 9:30 a.m., but were 12 minutes, or 105
miles, away when the airliner struck the Pentagon.
After the Pentagon strike, Bush authorized fighters to shoot down any
other aircraft that threatened targets in Washington.
United Flight 93 from Newark to San Francisco was by then over
Pennsylvania, headed back to the East Coast. F-16s from Langley flew
protective patterns over Washington after the Pentagon strike, but as
Flight 93 headed toward them, it crashed outside Shanksville, Pa., at
approximately 10:03 a.m., NORAD said.
Last week, members of the Senate Armed Services Committee questioned
Air Force Gen. Richard Myers about why the fighters hadn't been able
to get airborne sooner. Myers, since confirmed as the next chairman
of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, pointed out that far fewer aircraft
have been detailed to watch for attacking planes since the end of the
Cold War.
He added that when the threat became clear, the military scrambled
fighters, AWACS radar planes and tanker aircraft to begin to
establish orbits in case other aircraft had been hijacked.
NORAD monitors the skies over the United States and Canada for
threats. Its operational center is inside Cheyenne Mountain Air Force
Station and its headquarters are at Peterson Air Force Base, both
near Colorado Springs.

There is a large granite slab with the time of

It reads simply:  9:03 A.M.

Re: [CTRL] 1 Hour 20 minute Lapse was ....Double Huh?

-Caveat Lector-

In a message dated 9/19/01 10:54:06 AM Central Daylight Time,
[EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:

 The targets were undefended. How do you know this? Because no one
  intercepted the planes. But there could be other explanations. Such

  Well...perhaps it all happened so fast and was so unexpected that by the
  time we reacted it was too little too late. Nope, that can't be it.
  Why? Because the targets were undefended. And on and on the circular
  logic goes.

  In case you mised this from a previous post - David McGowan - Continuing
Commentary.  Pay particular attention to this quote, and YOU come up with an
explanation that even a pre-schooler wouldn't reject as absurd, ok?

At 9:35, two F-16 fighter jets were scrambled, at least an hour and twenty
minutes

after the first flight had been hijacked and nearly an hour after it  had
crashed.

(further quoting:)

It has been reliably reported that it was known fairly early on that

the flights had been hijacked. It was also known (even though the

transponders were disabled, by someone with a high degree of

technical knowledge) that the planes had changed their flight path.

It is inconceivable then that the wayward flights were not being

tracked and monitored.


According to the official timelines that have appeared in the New

York and Los Angeles Times, by 8:15-8:20 AM, air traffic controllers

had received clear indications that flight 11 out of Boston, in

flight for just twenty minutes, had been hijacked – the aircraft's

transponder had been shut off and the pilot was not responding to

radio calls.


By 8:28 AM, the aircraft had radically changed course and there was

no question that the flight had been hijacked, a fact acknowledged by

the FAA. By this time, flight 175 out of Boston and flight 77 out of

Dulles were also in the air. Just two minutes later, flight 175

deviated from its flight path as well, indicating that it had also

been hijacked.


It was still nearly a half-an-hour before the first plane would plow

into the WTC, and there were already very clear indications that this

wasn't a normal day for air traffic in America. Two civilian

passenger planes had been hijacked simultaneously, an unprecedented

occurrence, and yet no action was immediately taken to avert the

tragedy that was to come.


At 8:38 AM, the Air Defense Command was allegedly first notified of

the hijacking of flight 11, twenty minutes after air traffic

controllers first became aware of that fact. Reports give no

indication that notification was given at that time that the second

flight had changed course as well. Five more minutes passed before

the military was informed by the FAA of the second hijacking.


At 8:45 AM, flight 11 crashed into the north tower of the WTC. Ten

minutes later, flight 77 abruptly turned around and turned off its

transponder. Three flights were then known to have been hijacked,

with two still in the air and one having already spectacularly

crashed into a heavily occupied building. The most technologically

advanced and militarily prepared nation on earth proceeded to sit on

its hands.


After ten more minutes had passed, flight 175 crashed even more

spectacularly into the south WTC tower. There was absolutely no

question at that point that this was a serious national emergency.

Flight 93 out of Newark had by then radically changed course as well,

clearly indicating that yet a fourth aircraft had been hijacked and

was a potential guided missile.


With New York's most visible landmark in flames and two hijacked

flights in the air, America's formidable national security apparatus

sat idle. By 9:10 AM, the Pentagon's radar had reportedly picked up

flight 77, which was still a half-an-hour away from plowing into what

is described as the military's nerve center.


At 9:25 AM, the FAA purportedly notified Air Defense that flight 77

was heading for Washington, though radar had determined that fact

fifteen minutes earlier and it had been known for a full half-hour

that the plane had turned around and headed back east. At 9:35, two F-

16 fighter jets were scrambled, at least an hour and twenty minutes

after the first flight had been hijacked and nearly an hour after it

had crashed.


The jets were dispatched, appropriately enough, from Langley Air

Force Base, which isn't so much an 'Air Force' base as it is the base

of the CIA's own private fleet of military aircraft. The Pentagon was

struck just minutes later, some fifteen minutes before the F-16s

arrived on the scene, but nearly an hour-and-a-half after the rash of

hijackings began.


A steady stream of talking heads have taken to the airwaves to claim

that no contingency plans were in place for such an attack. Despite

decades of military planning for every possible type of attack on

these shores, and despite hundreds of billions of dollars spent on

air and civil defenses, no one - we are to believe - ever envisioned

such an assault.

Re: [CTRL] Bush will get us into a war!

2001-09-19 Thread Don Capps

-Caveat Lector-

From: Kris Millegan [EMAIL PROTECTED]

  You are still caught-up in the hegelian bs.

And you are simply filled with babbling nonsense.

History lesson. The Hegelian dialectic is actually a tool of the Fabian
Socialists. If you knew anything at all about it's history, you would  know
that in it's seminal days, Communism took two divergent paths. There were
the Marxists...who advocated the violent overthrow of all governments and
the establishment of a world socialist state in it's place. And there were
the Fabian Socialists, who agreed with the aims of the Marxists, but not the
means. They felt that Marxism was doomed by virtue of it's very militancy
and would only insure it's own destruction by openly advocating violent
revolution. Instead, the Fabian's adopted the tools of education and
propaganda as their primary tools. They felt that the world could be
reshaped according to their globalist/collectivist vision if they could only
capture the hearts and minds of a generation through the system of public
education. Furthermore, they saw in the violent Marxist upheavals in europe,
another tool which could be used to their advantage. Hence, they positioned
themselves as a middle ground between the right wing nationalists on one
hand and the communist revolutionaries on the other. By juxtaposing these
two opposites ideologically, then masses could be conditioned to accept
the middle alternative as H.G. Wells once called it. As current conditions
make clear, this tactic has worked quite successfully. We are being
conditioned by the leftists to accept the middle alternative of global
socialism. Indeed, some left wingers have actually come out of the closet
as it were...openly advocating this concept. Witness the successful campaign
of Tony Blair in Great Britain...who has openly spoken of A Third
Way...meaning a middle path between right wing nationalist isolationism and
violent communist revolution. This, my friend, is the Hegelian dialectic at
work.

Now, having said that, I am afraid I must bid you all 'adieu'. I saw the
warning that this was a high volume list. But I fear I underestimated just
HOW high that volume would be. The amount of e-mail is unmanagable for me.
My important stuff is being lost amongst the dross. Secondly, I wrongly
assumed that this list would be primarily composed of political
conservatives. How wrong I was. I have, admittedly, very little patience
with communism light (read: liberalism). And I definitely don't want to
have to wade through an inbox full of it just to find a handful of valuable
posts.

Finally, and as a parting shot, I would like to post something for the
careful and thoughful consideration of all the anti-Zionist/borderline
anti-Semitics on the list. Be careful who you attack my friends. You might
well find yourselves fighting against God. By the way, in case you aren't
familiar with this Book (most leftists never read it anyway) this comes from
a MUCH higher authority than me...so it you have issues with it take it up
with the author.

'For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery,
lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has
happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. And so
all Israel will be saved, as it is written: The Deliverer will come out of
Zion, And He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob; For this is My covenant
with them, When I take away their sins. Concerning the gospel they are
enemies for your sake, but concerning the election they are beloved for the
sake of the fathers. For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.
For as you were once disobedient to God, yet have now obtained mercy through
their disobedience, even so these also have now been disobedient, that
through the mercy shown you they also may obtain mercy. For God has
committed them all to disobedience, that He might have mercy on all.'

speaking of parrot talk

what happened to your calls for jihad, saba?

I though jihad was forever?



just searching an Arabic girls names base and found this:

Saba

Your name of Saba creates an intense desire for association with people and
new experiences, many of which have been rather bitter. This name has given
you a gregarious personality and a quick-thinking, creative, and versatile
nature, but one that is unstable emotionally. You desire change and travel
and would enjoy opportunities that allowed you to be creative and to act
independently, rather than to conform to system and routine. However, this
name does not allow you to complete your undertakings, as farther fields
always look greener. Although you may appear confident and positive, you
actually lack confidence and feel self-conscious at times. This name spoils
patience and depth of thought, and weakens your stand in matters of
principle. You are too open to suggestion, and thus you could become
involved in detrimental associations which could lead you into by-paths of
thrill-seeking or emotional indulgence.

The term Semites is applied to a group of peoples closely related in

derived from the Biblical table of nations (Genesis 10), in which
most of these peoples are recorded as descendants of Noah's son  Sem.

The term Semite was proposed at first for the languages related to
the Hebrew by Ludwig Schlözer, in Eichhorn's Repertorium, vol. VIII
(Leipzig, 1781), p. 161. Through Eichhorn the name then came into
general usage (cf. his Einleitung in das Alte Testament (Leipzig,
1787), I, p. 45. In his Gesch. der neuen Sprachenkunde, pt. I
(Göttingen, 1807) it had already become a fixed technical term. Since
then the name has been generally adopted, except that modern science
uses it in a somewhat wider sense to include all those Peoples who
are either demonstrably of Semitic origin, or who appear in history
as completely Semitized.
CLASSIFICATION
In historic times all Western Asia (see below), with the exception of
the peninsula of Asia Minor, was Semitic. From the philological point
of view the Semitic peoples are divided into four chief Babylonian-
Assyrian Semites (East Semites), Chanaanitic Semites, (West Semites),
Aramaic Semites (North Semites), and Arabian Semites (South Semites).
The last-named group is divided into North and South Arabians, of
which last the Abyssinians are a branch. The first three groups are
usually termed North Semites, in contrast to the Arabian group, or
South Semites. But the classification of the Babylonian with the
Aramaic and Chanaanitic Semites is not permissible from the
philological point of view.
TERRITORY
The great mountain-chains which begin at the Syro-Cilician boundary,
and then curving towards the south-west extend to the Persian Gulf,
separate on the north and east the territory of the Semites from that
of the other peoples of Western Asia. It includes the Syro-Arabian
plain with the civilized countries extending to the east and west and
the Arabian Peninsula which joins it on the south. The lowlands to
the east are formed by the Euphrates and the Tigris, and include the
homes of two very ancient civilizations, in the north the rather
undulating Mesopotamia, in the south the low Babylonian plain; the
land extending to the west from the lower Euphrates is called
Chaldea. These are the territories of the East Semitic tribes and
states. On the west lies Northern Syria, then the Lebanon Mountains
with the intervening Coelo-Syria, the oasis of Damascus, the seat of
an ancient culture, the Hauran, and in the the midst of the desert
the oasis of Palmyra (Tadmor). These territories were at a later
period occupied principally by Aramaic tribes. The territory on the
coast extending westwards from Lebanon, and Palestine, which joins it
on the south, are the principal seats of the Chanaanitic Semites. The
mountainous country to the east of Arabia and the Sinaitic peninsula
extending to the west of Arabia, belong to Arabia proper, the
territory of the South Semites.
ORIGINAL HOME
The tribes which inhabited these territories, and to some extent
still inhabit them, show in language, traits, and character a sharply
characterized individuality which separates them distinctly from
other peoples. Their languages axe closely related to one another,
not being almost independent branches of language, like the great
groups of Indo-Germanic languages, but rather dialects of a single
linguistic group. Physically, also, the Semitic form it is found in
Arabia. Here also the phonetics and partly also the grammatical
structure of the Semitic language, are most purely, as the vocabulary
is most completely, preserved. From these as well as from other
circumstances the conclusion has been drawn that Arabia should be
considered the original home of the Semitic peoples. All the racial
peculiarities of the Semites are best explained from the character of
a desert people.  All Semites settled in civilized lands are,
therefore, to be considered offshoots of the desert tribes,

WAR IS THE HEALTH OF THE STATE: ITS MEANING
This article appeared in The Freeman, July 1999, as War's Other
Casualty.
By Wendy McElroy
In his introduction to War and the Intellectuals (1964) -- a
collection of Randolph Bourne's essays -- editor Carl Resek explains
the meaning of Bourne's famous saying, 'War is the Health of the
state,' coined in response to America's participation in World War I.
Resek writes, In its proper place it [the saying] meant that
mindless power thrived on war because war corrupted a nation's moral
fabric and especially corrupted its intellectuals.(vii) Bourne's
famous seven-word slogan, which arose in reaction to World War I,
contains a complexity of meaning that is often overlooked by those
who use it. To grasp this complexity, it is necessary to explore the
theoretical contexts within which the saying originated.
The State, Government, and Society
Bourne argues that, in times of peace, the majority of people do not
give much thought to the State, but deal instead with the Government,
which may be viewed as the practical day-to-day offices and
functions of a State. Bourne defined Government as a framework of
the administration of laws, and the carrying out of the public force.
Government is the idea of the State put into practical operation in
the hands of definite, concrete, fallible men.(69)
In times of peace, people deal with the Government -- e.g. the post
office or the public school system -- rather than with institutions
that embody the enduring State -- e.g. the Supreme Court. The people
whose jobs make Government function, such as postal workers and grade
school teachers, have no sense of sanctity about them. They are what
Bourne describes as common and unsanctified men. Even those elected
to political office do not generally inspire admiration, but are
usually indistinguishable from the mass. This egalitarian attitude
is part of the American heritage of being a Republic in which there
is separation of church and state. Thus, in times of peace, the
sense of the State almost fades out of the consciousness of men.(66)
People may rise to honor the flag at ball games but they have few
practical reasons to think much about the State.
The American State is more of a concept than a physical reality. It
is the political structure established by the American Revolution,
which is embodied by the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Governments
come and go but the State remains essentially the same. It is the
State, not Government, that inspires emotions such as awe or
patriotism within its citizenry because the State is considered to be
sanctified by history and by the popular will. It is to the concept
of the American State -- not to any particular Government, Republican
or Democratic -- that people pledge allegiance with hands placed over
their hearts.
Another key to understanding what is 'America' is the concept of
society, which Bourne refers to as nation or country. Society
is the collection of non-political factors that constitute life in
America, including: characteristic attitudes, common lore and
literature, a shared history, a unique ethnic mix, the prevailing
cultural norms. These non-political factors are what make the
American society different from a Chinese or French society. They
constitute 'the American way.' In times of peace, most people
identify more with society than they do with Government. For example,
most people define themselves more in relation to a community,
religion, or ethnic heritage than in relation to a political party.
Unlike Government, society is not expression of the State, nor can it
peacefully co-exist with the State because the two concepts are
antagonistic. In an essay entitled The State, Bourne observes,
Country [society] is a concept of peace, tolerance, of living and
letting live. But State is essentially a concept of power, of
competition; it signifies a group in its aggressive aspects. And we
have the misfortune of being born not only into a country but into a
State, and as we grow up we learn to mingle the two feelings into a
hopeless confusion.(68)
To sum up the preceding part of Bourne's argument: in times of peace,
people identify with society, interact with Government, and only
occasionally deal with the sanctified State. Yet the lines separating
these three concepts, or institutions, are not clearly drawn.
The Impact of War
Bourne defines war as the ultimate act of Statehood, of a group in
its aggressive aspects, which could not exist with the State. War
is a function...of States, he writes, and could not occur except in
such a system.
Bourne argues that war so blurs the lines separate the State from
Government and from society that the lines virtually disappear in the
minds of most people. Filled with emotion, the patriot loses all
sense of the distinction between State, nation and government.(67)
Bourne describes the process, Patriotism becomes the

Mondo Washington
Richard Helms's Afghani Niece Leads Corps of Taliban Reps
The Accidental Operative
by Camelia Fard  James Ridgeway http://www.villagevoice.com/issues/0124/ridgeway.php

WASHINGTON, D.C., June 6-On this muggy afternoon, a group of neatly
attired men and a handful of women gather in a conference room at the
Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies. The guest list
includes officials from the furthest corners of the world-Turkmenistan,
Kazakhstan, Pakistan, and Turkey-and reps from the World Bank, the
Uzbekistan chamber of commerce, the oil industry, and the Russian news
agency Tass, along with various individuals identified only as U.S. Government, 
which in times past was code
for spook.

At hand is a low-profile briefing on international narcotics by a top State
Department official, who has recently returned from a United Nations trip
to inspect the poppy fields of Afghanistan, source of 80 percent of the
world's opium and target of a recent eradication campaign by the
fundamentalist Taliban. The lecture begins as every other in Washington:

The speaker politely informs the crowd he has nothing to do with policy
making. And, by the way, it's all off the record.

Lecture over, the chairman asks for questions. One man after another rises
to describe his own observations while in the foreign service. The moderator
pauses, looks to the back of the room, and says in a scarcely audible voice:
Laili Helms. The room goes silent.

For the people gathered here, the name brings back memories of Richard
Helms, director of the CIA during the tumultuous 1960s, the era of Cuba and
Vietnam. After he was accused of destroying most of the agency's secret
documents detailing its own crimes, Helms left the CIA and became
President Ford's ambassador to Iran. There, he trained the repressive
secret police, inadvertently sparking the revolution that soon toppled his
friend the Shah.

Laili Helms, his niece by marriage, is an operative, too-but of a different kind.
This pleasant young woman who makes her home in New Jersey is the Taliban
 rulers' unofficial ambassador in the U.S., and their most active and best-known 
advocate elsewhere in the
West. As such she not only defends but promotes a severe regime that has given the 
White House fits for the
past six years-by
throwing women out of jobs and schools, stoning adulterers, forcing Hindus
to wear an identifying yellow patch, and smashing ancient Buddha statues.

In meetings on Capitol Hill and at the State Department, Helms represents a theocracy 
that harbors America's
Public Enemy No. 1: Osama bin Laden, the
man who allegedly masterminded the bombing of American embassies in
Tanzania and Kenya and is suspected of blowing up the USS Cole. From
his Afghan fortress, bin Laden operates a terrorist network reaching across
the world.

All of which is highly ironic since bin Laden is the progeny of a U.S. policy
that sought to unite Muslims in a jihad against the Soviet Union, but over a
decade eroded the moderate political wing and launched a wave of young
radical fundamentalists. The Taliban, says the author Ahmed Rashid, is the
hip-hop generation of Islamic militants. They know nothing about nothing.
Their aim is the destruction of the status quo, but they offer nothing to
replace it with.

Now the Bush administration is lowering its sights, viewing the Taliban within a 
broader context of an
oil-rich central Asia. The chaotic region is strewn with
crooked governments, terrorist brotherhoods, thieving warlords, and smugglers. Against 
this backdrop, the
Taliban sometimes seems to be the least of our
problems.

The mullahs would like to take advantage of the Bush administration's own 
fundamentalist leanings, complete
with antidrug policies. Their often comic
efforts to establish representation in the U.S. took off when they found Helms.
For them, she is a disarming presence, the unassuming woman at the back of
the room.

After spending most her life in the States, Helms has impeccable suburban credentials. 
She lives in Jersey
City and is the mother of a couple of
grade-school kids. Her husband works at Chase Manhattan.

A granddaughter of a former Afghan minister in the last monarchy, she
returned home during the war to work on U.S. aid missions. Everyone
thinks I'm a spy, she said in a recent Voice interview. And Uncle Dick
thinks I'm crazy.

[CTRL] Fwd: From Personal Experience: Would the Government Use Our $ To Nurture A Terrorist Who Harms Citizens and Taxpayers On Purpose?

2001-09-19 Thread Kris Millegan







We won't hesitate to bang heads if we have to
 ---Dan Hawke, Attorney for John Ervin
   from 1995-1999


The notion that the US taxpayers have been helping to finance Bin Laden and
the Taliban does not come as a big supprise to Carolyn, Ozzie or me.

We know from personal experience.

HUD Secretary Cuomo issued what appear to be sole source negotiated
contracts to Ervin in 1998 when Ervin's attorney was Dan Hawke, son of John
D. (Jerry) Hawke, then Undersecretary of Domestic Finance for Robert Rubin
(Secretary) and Lawrence Summers (Deputy Secretary). Hawke was the person at
Treasury in charge of federal credit policies. HUD's mortgage insurance
programs are traditionally about 30-35% of federal credit), and now
Comptroller of the Currency at Treasury, and throughout on the board of
Neighborhood Reinvestment Corporation.

As of October 2000, HUD had paid Ervin $808,000 for business consulting
services under one of these contracting vehicles. That is approximately
$33,000 a month. That number also is not an unreasonable estimate of the
possible cost of the targeting of me by Ervin.

According to news reports, HUD also gave him $2MM in late 2000 in a
settlement on his litigation at HUD.

According to recently unsealed court transcripts DOJ credits itself with
helping to design in a 1996 time frame the litigation that DOJ used to give
Ervin $2MM on in 2000, and keeping it protected from other court cases in
which DOJ took opposite positions.

One of the government officials sued in that case estimated that Ervin's
legal expenses were approximately $1-3MM on that and related cases. A
reporter who visited Ervin in last 1997, told me that he had 17 people who
appeared to be working full time on targeting us in addition to the
attornies, that the mailings that they had recieved over the last two years
were quite voluminous and who was paying for all of this? Good question, I
said.

Through this period, HUD lost several billion a year as a result of
intentionally shuting down loan sales and returning to a method of resolving
defaulted loans that allowed far more flexibility in below market inside
deals that could be done quietly.

Were the contracts below (put through HUD's Ginnie Mae, the agency that
securitizes all the FHA mortgages with Wall Street)a way for Hawke to get
the taxpayers to pay his son to destroy internal financial controls at HUD?

During the periods reported for the contracts with Ervin below, in Fiscal
1998, HUD reported missing money of $17 billion. In fiscal 1999, HUD
reported missing money of $70 billion on the asset side and $59 billion on
the liability side.

One of the reasons that the missing money at HUD is so confusing, is
because Treasury's records indicate that the cash balances are off by much
less.

Here is what a top government accountant had to say on this topic:

I would say that Treasury moving cash in/out is very possible.  Most
agencies
are not able to reconcile its funds balances in its general ledger to those
recorded by Treasury.  There are MANY, MANY differences.  The absolute value
at HUD was $70 billion while the net value was $24 million for FY 1999.
What's weird is that each agency completes an SF224 and reports its cash
balances and transactions to Treasury.  So, technically, Treasury should
only
be reporting back to you what you reported to them.  In my  years in
CFO shops, I've never seen anyone be able to balance to Treasury.  We
accountants at the agencies are always told that Treasury's records are
correct and we are not able to get support from Treasury as to what they
have
recorded that we have no record of.  So, in the end, most agencies just
adjust (write up/down) their cash balances to agree with Treasury -
meanwhile, anyone could be taking money and you are suppose to just believe
that Treasury makes no errors.  I made the mistake of questioning Treasury
and got my hands slapped many years ago. It's very easy to play with your
cash accounts.

Who runs the cash management operations at Treasury? That division is called
FMS.
Who does FMS report to?

The UnderSecretary for Domestic Finance

Who was that in 1998?

John D. Hawke, father of Ervin's attorney, Dan Hawke.

John Hawke is the former general counsel of the Federal Reserve.

The Federal Reserve Bank of NY is the primary depository for the US
government checking accounts.

IN FY 2002, the President's budget is proposing to appropriate $1.383
trillion dollars to government agencies that according to both Senate and
Congressional oversight committees have little or no financial and
accounting system and disclosure integrity.

A senior person at HUD recently told me that the career staff at HUD assume
that Ervin is working for and paid by the government.

Think about it.

No Treason: The Constitution of No Authority
By LYSANDER SPOONER
[1867]
Introductory
The question of treason is distinct from that of slavery; and is the
same that it would have been, if free States, instead of slave
States, had seceded.
On the part of the North, the war was carried on, not to liberate the
slaves, but by a government that had always perverted and violated
the Constitution, to keep the slaves in bondage; and was still
willing to do so, if the slaveholders could be thereby induced to
stay in the Union.
The principle, on which the war was waged by the North, was simply
this: that men may rightfully be compelled to submit to, and support,
a government that they do not want; and that resistance, on their
part, makes them traitors and criminals.
No principle, that is possible to be named, can be more self-
evidently false than this; or more self-evidently fatal to all
political freedom. Yet it triumphed in the field, and is now assumed
to be established. If it be really established, the number of slaves,
instead of having been diminished by the war, has been greatly
increased; for a man, thus subjected to a government that he does not
want, is a slave. And there is no difference, in principle -- but
only in degree -- between political and chattel slavery. The former,
no less than the latter, denies a man's ownership of himself and the
products of his labor; and asserts that other men may own him, and
dispose of him and his property, for their uses, and at their
pleasure.
Previous to the war, there were some grounds for saying that -- in
theory, at least, if not in practice -- our government was a free
one; that it rested upon consent. But nothing of that kind can be
said now, if the principle on which the war was carried on by the
North, is irrevocably established.
If that principle be not the principle of the Constitution, the fact
should be known. If it be the principle of the Constitution, the
Constitution itself should be at once overthrown.

In the CIA files I read in 1977 were the files from the Military,
OSS, CIA and others on the use of their organizations and
agents in the promotion of using Nostradamus's predictions to
direct the people as they needed them to go. This is a very small
part of a much larger story.

The OSS had seen during the Second World War how successful
Hitler was in using Nostradamus's writings to show the German
people that they were to rule the world for the next 1,000 years.
They liked how this worked and then incorporated this into their
agenda.

Orson Welles had worked for Army Intelligence before the war in
1938 and had conducted the experiment for them using radio which
we all now know as War of the Worlds. This experiment was to
test if they used radio which was the most trusted form of information
and trusted by the American people to tell the people that something
unbelievable and completely impossible was happening if they would
still believe it because it was coming from their most trusted form of
media. (Propaganda Experiment)

In 1977 the CIA who Orson Welles worked for at the time had Orson
Welles do the movie on Nostradamus's predictions to convince the
American people that the coming war which was scheduled for 1999
was unstoppable and and act of god which had been foretold by the
bible as Armageddon and foretold in Nostradamus's predictions.

Nostradamus's predictions were so loosely wrote that they could be
interpreted anyway that the person interpreting them needed them to
say.

Our leaders believed that we breed like rats and were over populating
the planet so badly that it was necessary to reduce our numbers to
more manageable numbers and had made the plans for the war over 20
years in advance. The FBI and the other agencies delayed this war but
it is still coming. This is why your TV was telling you Armageddon was
going to be in 1999 as the bible foretold and then when 1999 came
around it changed to the new dates. People like Haggi who is one of our
religious leaders on TV from Texas also wrote the book on the coming
Armageddon. He is also one of them.

I was horrible tortured and my mind was horrible scrambled as I tried
to write this. (They are now making me scream in pain for what I'm
writing) My writing would of been much better if I lived in a free
country
with freedom of speech and human rights and civil liberties. These acts
of state sponsored terrorism continue against me to limit my freedom

[CTRL] Flight school says FBI trailed suspect prior to hijackings

  Flight school says FBI trailed suspect prior to hijackings

  By Kevin Cullen and Ralph Ranalli, Globe Staff, 9/18/2001

  FBI Director Robert Mueller continued to insist yesterday that federal
authorities had no
  reason to suspect Islamic extremists were training at US flight schools
before last week's
  suicide hijackings, even as more evidence surfaced raising questions
about those
  assertions.

  The vice president of a flight school in Oklahoma told The Boston Globe
yesterday that three
  weeks before Tuesday's suicide hijackings, FBI agents interviewed him
about a suspected
  terrorist who had trained at the school.

  Dale Davis, the vice president of Airman Flight School in Norman,
Okla., said FBI agents
  showed up at the facility asking questions about Zacarias Moussaoui,
who was arrested in
  Minnesota last month after he tried to get flight simulator lessons on
flying a
  commercial-size jet.

  In addition, Davis said that FBI agents visited his flight school two
years ago to ask questions
  about a former student who had been identified by federal authorities
as an associate of
  Osama bin Laden, the Saudi-born dissident who is the prime suspect in
organizing last
  week's hijackings.

  Davis also said that two of the men who hijacked two flights out of
Boston's Logan Airport
  last week, including Mohamed Atta, who investigators believe was the
ringleader of the
  Boston hijackings, had visited the Norman flight school last year
before deciding to attend
  one in Florida.

  At a Washington briefing yesterday, Mueller repeated his assertion,
first made Friday, that
  federal authorities had no inkling that terrorists were using US flight
schools to acquire the
  training they needed to take the controls of commercial airliners as
they did on Tuesday.

  ''There were no warning signs that I'm aware of that would indicate
this type of operation in
  the country,'' he said.

  But the Globe reported Saturday that federal authorities have known for
at least three years
  that two associates of bin Laden had trained in the United States as
airline pilots.

  The link between the Al-Qaeda terror group, allegedly led by bin Laden,
and US flight schools
  emerged earlier this year at the trial of four men charged with the
1998 bombing of the
  American embassies in Kenya and Tanzania. At that trial, during which
FBI agents were
  called as witnesses, an associate of bin Laden testified that he went
to a flight school in
  Texas.

  Prosecutors introduced evidence that a second associate of bin Laden,
Ihab Ali Nawawi, had
  trained at Airman Flight School, as did Moussaoui, who is now being
held in New York for
  questioning on suspicion that he is an associate of the hijackers.

  In a telephone interview, Davis confirmed that the FBI had suspicions
about Moussaoui at
  least three weeks before last week's disaster.

  The questions FBI agents posed to him appeared to be about whether
Moussaoui could
  have been a terrorist, Davis said, including whether the alleged
Algerian militant had ever
  made any ''extreme comments'' about the United States.

  When asked why they were inquiring about Moussaoui, Davis said, the
agents replied that
  ''he had done something very bad.''

  Davis said FBI agents had visited his school just two years earlier to
inquire about Ihab Ali
  Nawawi, who took flight training there in 1993 and was later charged in
connection with the
  1998 US Embassy bombings in Africa, which were blamed on bin Laden's
group.

  Davis also confirmed that Atta and another suspected hijacker, Marwan
al-Shehhi, visited
  Airman Flight School, staying overnight at the school's dormitory in
the nearby Sooner Inn,
  before deciding to train at another facility.

  ''They did a school visit in July of 2000 but went elsewhere for
whatever reason,'' Davis said.

  The Los Angeles Times yesterday quoted an unidentified federal official
saying that
  Moussaoui asked only for lessons on ''steering, not landing'' and
cheered when he watched
  a news account of the suicide hijackings at the jail in Minnesota where
he has been held
  since last month.

  Two other suspects being held for questioning in New York, Aybu Ali
Khan and Mohammed
  Jaweed Azmath, who had been living in New Jersey, were taken into
custody on a train in
  Fort Worth, Texas, and arrested after police found they were carrying
box cutters similar to
  those used by some of the hijackers. Investigators believe the
hijackers in Tuesday's attack
  used box cutters because the tool's plastic handle would not set off
metal detectors at
  airport security checkpoints.

  While authorities have not identified a fourth suspect being
interrogated in New York, CNN
  yesterday said that the man is a doctor from San Antonio, and that
Azmath and Khan may
  have been heading to his home there to hide. CNN said the man attended
the same flight
  school in Arizona as one of the hijackers of American Airlines Flight
77,

2001-09-19 Thread Saba



All this finger-pointing looks like the beginning of a second Lavon
Affaire. In 1954-55, Israel sought to sabotage warming relations between
the US and Nasser's Egypt. Israeli intelligence recruited Egyptian Jews
and ordered them to plant bombs in US libraries and cinemas showing
American films.
The agents were caught and hanged. A huge scandal erupted in Israel.

To Whom It May Concern:

It seems Israel has a cute habit of creating chaos when it sees the USA
becoming friendly with any of the Arab Nationslook at this
despiciable Jonathan Pollard who ruined what could have been peaceful
relations with Sadaam Hussein - and see this Marc Rich during Iranian
crisis dealing with Iran when it was forbidden and hogging huge profits
- and he gets a pardon?

Remember the USS Liberty how our men were napalmed for over 45 minutes
while lying on deck wounded and dying - they tried to cover up their
crime in order to blame the Egyptians but they got caught.

Oh how loyal these Israelis are to us we are told - hey for 5 billion
dollars a year we got their loyalty - really?

These twin towers and Pentagon - one of the men it was said was Egyptian
- tell me Egyptian Jew maybe?   After the USS Liberty, I would not be
suprised.

So the Iraelis are running true to form, running a murder inc over there
- well why not, with rat faced Meyer Lansky, Moe Daliz, and the mafia
confraternites the ADL and Bnai Brith?   Why not.

Cut off the funds to Israel .. let Larry Flynt and Moskowitz set up

robes of  more victims of their slaughter?

Indian man shot dead in US in apparent backlash to terror attacks
Sunday September 16, 2001

WASHINGTON, Sept 16 (AFP) - An Indian man who moved to the United States 10
years ago was shot dead on the weekend by an unidentified assailant, The
Arizona Republic newspaper reported Sunday, in what looked like a misplaced
incident of revenge for the attacks on New York and the Pentagon.

Balbir Singh Sodhi, 49, was killed Saturday when a gunman driving a black
pick-up truck drove into the Mesa, Arizona service station he ran and fired
three shots. The assailant then drove on to another service station where a
Lebanese-American employee was working and to a house, firing shots but
injuring no one else.

Sodhi's brother, Harjit, told the newspaper his sibling was killed because
his dark skin, beard and turban made him look Middle Eastern, like the men
US authorities say hijacked the planes used in Tuesday's devastating
attacks. Some people don't understand because we are different, because we
look like (Osama) bin Laden, Harjit said. But we are not Muslim. The
Sodhis, originally from Punjab in India, belong to the Sikh religion.

The newspaper said police were trying to trace the killer. One officer,
sergeant Mike Goulet, said the murder was not being considered a racist
crime.

A 2nd Backlash MURDER!

A second backlash murder... this one involving a Pakistani immigrant in
Texas.
Published in the U.K. Independent
http://news.independent.co.uk/

September 17 2001 Asian man murdered in suspected race-hate shooting Revenge
Attacks

In Pleasant Grove, a middle-class suburb of Dallas, Waqar Hassan Choudhry,
40, was shot dead at a convenience store shortly after 10pm on Saturday
night. There was no evidence of a robbery, and local detectives told Mr
Choudhry's family they believed his killing was motivated by blind revenge.

Officially, the police were saying little. We don't know who did it or why,
it's too early in the investigation, Sergeant Gary Kilpatrick of the Dallas
police homicide department said. At this point, we can't prove or disprove
anything. We're looking for witnesses and checking the evidence.

But the victim's cousin, Mazhar Rehman, said yesterday he was almost
certainly killed because of his race or religion. We feel this is more
likely to be backlash than robbery, Mr Rehman, a businessman from Glasgow,
said. My cousin was saying that there have been other incidents in Dallas,
with people being abused or beaten up.

Mr Choudhry, married with four girls, was from Karachi and had been in
America for 10 years. He had recently moved to Dallas from Edison, New
Jersey, home to one of the east coast's largest Pakistani communities, to run
the petrol station with another immigrant.

Egyptian Grocer MURDERED in L.A.!
by Stop Racist Attacks 9:42am Tue Sep 18 '01

A 3rd. backlash murder has taken place. An Egyptian Grocer in San Gabriel
is the latest victim to fall to hate.

KCBS (Channel 2)
Tuesday September 18 2001
Grocer's Murder Investigated As Hate Crime

The fatal shooting Saturday of a neighborhood grocer of Egyptian descent in
San Gabriel will be investigated by the FBI as a possible hate crime, an
agent said Monday.

We are going to be opening that case as a hate crime, Matt McLaughlin, of
the FBI's Los Angeles office, told news wires. If they haven't already
started the investigation, it will be soon.

Adel Karas, 48, of Arcadia, was fatally shot about 3:15 p.m. Saturday at
International Market, 1381 E. Las Tunas Drive. Although Karas' family told
reporters they feared he was killed because his attackers thought he might be
Muslim -- he was a Coptic Christian from Egypt.

McLaughlin said he was not familiar with the evidence that prompted the FBI
to get involved, but speculated that the bureau wanted to err on the side of
caution. FBI Director Robert Mueller told reporters in Washington that since
World Trade Center and Pentagon attacks, there have been dozens of
retaliatory hate crimes directed at members of the Arab-American community
nationwide.

Sheriff's deputies are seeking three suspects, two of whom entered the store,
confronted the owner and shot him in the upper body, Bottomley said. The
suspects fled in a copper-colored Honda driven by a third suspect.

War Fever

F. J. HILGERT, the Associated Press man in Cuba, had managed to get a brief
cable out before the censors shut down the line. At 2:10 a.m. the New York
World's office was galvanized by the news, and within an hour had an edition
on the streets with a four-column headline: U. S. S. MAINE BLOWN UP IN
HAVANA HARBOR. There was also a four-column engraving of the ship that had
been in the files, and a story about her reputation as a Jonah or Hoodoo
ship. Scovel's cable arrived soon after and was incorporated into later
editions with the headline WORLD STAFF CORRESPONDENT CABLES IT IS NOT KNOWN
WHETHER EXPLO-SION OCCURRED ON OR UNDER THE MAINE.

Pulitzer's World had scored a beat, but William Randolph Hearst and his
journal were not far behind. Hearst had gone home before news of the disaster
arrived, so the night editor immediately telephoned him. Hearst asked what
else was on the front page.

Only the other big news, was the answer.

There is not any other big news, Hearst said. Please spread the story all
over the page. This means war!

There was not much information in the early stories, but through the
headlines and the details emphasized there was already a slant being given to
the event. The World's first headline, given above, is an example: by using
blown instead of blows the act is presented as deliberate; in the second
the implication is that a submarine mine might have destroyed the ship. Both
the World and journal began their coverage of the story with implications of
Spanish treachery that were to become more overt in the coming days.
. . .

McKinley told Senator Charles Fairbanks of Indiana, I don't propose to be
swept off my feet by the catastrophe. My duty is plain. We must learn the
truth and endeavor, if possible, to fix the responsibility. The country can
afford to withhold its judgment and not strike an avenging blow until the
truth is known. The Administration will go on preparing for war, but still
hoping to avert it. It will not be plunged into war until it is ready for it.

But many were being swept by their anger into making a quick judgment: The
Maine was sunk by an act of dirty treachery by the Spaniards, I believe,
Theodore Roosevelt wrote a fellow member of Harvard's Porcellian Club on
February 16, but he expressed these feelings just to close friends, being
careful to use only the word accident in public dealings. In

Roosevelt now lived at the office most of the time, although both his wife
and his son Ted were still seriously ill. On the morning of Friday, February
25, Edith was so feverish that, afraid she was going to die, he summoned the
famed Sir William Osler from Johns Hopkins Medical School in Baltimore to
attend to her. Then, propelled by duty, he went off to the Navy Department.

John Long [Secretary of the Navy] had been unable to sleep much since his
nightmarish awakening in the predawn hours of the sixteenth, and his body had
been afflicted with aches and pains that could be relieved only by
mechanical massage applied to his stomach and legs by an unusual electric
-powered machine under the command of a Washington osteopath. Feeling a need
for the attentions of this technological wonder, Long took the afternoon off
on the twenty-fifth to hobble first to the osteopath, then to his corn
doctor. The burdens of office were left on the well-braced shoulders of
Theodore Roosevelt, who knew exactly what needed doing.

First a cable to Commodore Dewey ordering him to assemble the Asiatic
Squadron in Hong Kong and prepare it for offensive operations in the
Philippine Islands in the event of a declaration of war with Spain; then
orders to Keep full of coal to other squadron commanders around the world
and an authorization for navy coal-buyers to obtain all they could;
rendezvous points for scattered ships were named; ammunition in warsized
quantities was ordered; guns necessary to convert yachts and commercial
steamers to warships were commanded to be taken out of storage; requests were
made to both houses of Congress to pass bills authorizing the recruitment of e
nough sailors to man an expanded battle fleet. A very busy afternoon, and a
satisfying one.

After he had completed his labors, the assistant secretary stopped by to see
his chief at home, who was resting so comfortably that the younger man must
have decided not to worry him with too detailed an account of what he had
accomplished. When John Long came into his office the next morning he was
shocked, because during my short absence I find that Roosevelt, in his
precipitate way, has come very near causing more of an explosion than
happened to the Maine ... the very devil seemed to possess him

   Mossad planned strike?
   [INLINE] [INLINE] [INLINE] Several days after the terrorist attacks on
   New York and Washington DC, reports emerged that some 4,000 Israelis
   working at the World Trade Center did not show up for work on the day
   of the aircraft blasts.

   A Muslim sheikh living in England commenting during a BBC news
   broadcast added that 40 Jewish Pentagon staff members did not show up
   for work on 11 September. The sheikh said it would not surprise him if
   it was discovered that the Mossad (the Israeli secret service) was
   behind the attacks.

   Last Saturday#8217;s news broadcast on several local television
   networks - including the National Broadcasting Network (NBN),

   [INLINE] No official source of information was mentioned in any of the
   news briefs, although the networks reported the Israeli secret service
 warned Israelis to stay away from several sites in the US.

   Meanwhile, Israeli newspaper the Jerusalem Post reported that Mossad
   officials traveled to Washington last month to warn the CIA and FBI
   that there would be a major operation taking place in the US#8217;
   major cities.

   The Israeli secret service allegedly offered no specific information
   about the targets but linked the attacks to Osama bin Laden and told
   the Americans there were strong grounds for suspecting Iraqi
   involvement, the paper reported.

   According to media reports, many Israelis worked in the high tech
   companies and trade agencies in the twin towers. Israeli daily Yediot
   Ahronot reported that some Israeli companies had offices in the WTC,
   but Israeli Channel Two television discredited this claim.

   Thus far, no Israelis have been located among the injured or deceased
   in any of the New York City hospitals.

   Israelis warned of attacks?

   Meanwhile, Arab diplomatic sources revealed to the Jordanian Al Watan
   newspaper that Israelis remained absent from work that fateful day
   based on information from the Shabak, the Israeli general security
   apparatus.

   According to the newspaper, American officials are requesting an
   explanation of how the Israeli government learned of the attacks
   before they occurred and why it refrained from informing the US
   authorities of the information.

   Manar TV reported that suspicions increased further after Yediot
   Ahronot reported the Shabak prevented Premier Ariel Sharon from
   traveling to New York to participate in a festival organized by
   Zionist organizations in support of Israel.

 Arrest EVERYONE with links to Osama bin Laden:

 President George W. Bush's business partner, Texan James R. Bath, handled 
investments for Osama bin Laden's brother Salim -- and for Osama himself, if his 
brother could be used as a front for some of these.

\James R. Bath, friend and neighbor of George W. Bush, was used as a cash funnel from 
Osama bin Laden\'s rich father, Sheikh bin Laden, to set George W. Bush up in 
business, according to reputable sources from the Wall Street Journal and the New York

\Bath--who made his fortune by investing money for Mahfouz and another BCCI-connected 
Saudi, Sheikh bin-Laden--...was an original investor in George Bush Jr.\'s oil 
exploration company...\ from The Outlaw Bank, page 229.

\Bath provided financing to George W. Bush, the future president\'s eldest son, when 
he went into the oil business...\ from False Profits, page 365.

\Bath told me he was in the CIA...he had been recruited by George Bush himself 1n 
1976 when Bush was director of the agency...Bath and George, Jr. were pals and flew 
together in the same Air National Guard unit, and Bath lived down the street from the 
Bush family when George, Sr. was living in Houston...he became representative for 
Sheikh Khalid bin-Mafouz...one of the richest men in the world, and he was a 
controlling shareholder in...BCCI...\ from The Outlaw Bank, page 228.

\BCCI was charged with laundering drug money...\ from False Profits, page 433.

\During George Bush\'s tenure as CIA director, the agency was allegedly involved in a 
very curious business deal with James R. Bath, a Texas businessman who is a friend and 
sometime financial backer of one of Bush\'s sons (George Bush, Jr.). Bath was also a 
business associate of Khalid bin Mafouze and an important BCCI insider.\ from

 Israel Stages Anti-US Demonstration

A team sent by the Israel Defense Ministry to film Palestinian children
rejoicing in East Jerusalem staged the event that was later circulated in
the US and around the world.

A member of the team approached the Juhaina Sweets Shop and gave the owner
200 shekels and asked him to distrïbute the sweets to the children,
according to the owner of the shop.

Veteran Israeli political analyst Meron Benvenisti, a former deputy mayor
of Jerusalem, noted in Ha'aretz  (Thursday Sept. 13):

A team from the Spokesman's Office of the Israel Defense Forces was sent
to film the scenes of joy and candy being handed out in East Jerusalem `for
public relations purposes Benvenisti wrote.

__
*  THE LAVON AFFAIR  *

Now forgotten by most of the few people who ever knew about it, was the
Lavon Affair that once rocked Israel to the very core.

After the Egyptian revolution of 1952, relations between the U.S. and
the new Gamal Abdel Nasser government steadily improved. Cultural and
economic agreements between Egypt and other Arab states and the U.S.
were being discussed, and it was sincerely hoped that the U.S. would aid
the projected Aswan Dam development program. By 1954 American Ambassador
Henry Byroade's personal friendship with Nasser seemed likely to produce
results. A U.S. aid program of $50 million had been started.

The situation was viewed in high Israeli quarters as a grave threat to
the continued flow of American dollars into Israel from public, if not
private, sources.

A direct severance of relations between Egypt and the U.S. was deemed
desirable. An Israeli espionage ring was sent to Egypt to bomb official
U.S. offices and, if necessary, attack American personnel working there
so as to destroy Egyptian-U.S. relations and eventually Arab-U.S. ties.
The creation of simulated anti-British incidents was calculated to
induce the British to maintain their Suez garrison. Several bomb
incidents involving U.S. installations in Egypt followed.

Small bombs shaped like books and secreted in book covers were brought
into the USIA libraries in both Alexandria and Cairo. Fish skin bags
filled with acid were placed on top of nitroglycerin bombs; it took
several hours for the acid to eat through the bag and ignite the bomb.
The book bombs were placed in the shelves of the library just before
closing hours.

Several hours later a blast would occur, shattering glass and shelves
and setting fire to books and furniture. Similar bombs were placed in
the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer
Theater and in other American owned business buildings.24

In December two young Jewish Egyptian boys carrying identical bombs were
caught as they were about to enter U.S. installations. Upon their
confession, a sabotage gang of six other Jews was rounded up. Five more
were implicated in the plot. The conspirators, who received sentences
ranging from fifteen years to life, were the objects in the U.S. of
multifold sympathetic editorials and articles. Nothing appeared in print
at the time to refute the image that this had been but another Nasser
conspiracy to unite his country against Israel. The cry anti-Semitism
widely reverberated.

In 1960 an investigation in Israel called attention to the forgery of an
important document in what had been announced as a security mishap
that had precipitated the resignation of Pinhas Lavon as Minister of
Defense in 1955. Shimon Peres, then Deputy Minister of Defense, and
Moshe Dayan had, with the forgery, attempted to place the legal
responsibility for the unsuccessful 1954 sabotage attempt at Lavon's
door. Ben-Gurion had fought the reopening of the case, but a subsequent
rehearing revealed that Lavon had been an innocent victim of the
machinations of Peres, Dayan, and Brigadier Abraham Givli.

Even though the army, through censorship, attempted to cover up its own
blunders, the Lavon Affair led to a Cabinet crisis and the resignation
of the Ben-Gurion government in 1961. As late as December 29, 1960, the
Times was still referring to the scandal only as a disastrous adventure
in 1954. As the already abnormal ties between Israel and the U.S. grew
stronger, scant attention was paid to the disclosure in Israel of this
blatant attempt to torpedo U.S.-Arab relations.

Not necessary. Quite a few of these will never be found. When several
thousand tons falls on person who is standing on a concrete floor, there will
not be much more than a greAse spot left. And then there is still at least a
months worth of rubble left to remove. G*d knows what they will find under
all that. And then there are the subway station and the PATH train station to

The fact that sophisticated psychological warfare means

  therefore dedicated to a strategy of creating conflict

The fact that many American Jews love Israel, fear for the
   future of its people, care about relatives living there,
   and are obligated to go along even with dirty tricks
   as all Americans go along with dirty tricks, worthwhile
   collateral damage to innocent people  --  notice how
   George W. Bush and Dick Cheny and Congress are now

The fact that the clear beneficiary is Israel  --  as a gigantic

   insisting that all who do not go along with this Crusade
   will be considered enemy!!!
The fact that the media is giving the US patriotism and allowing
   real feeling for country and real expression of frustration to
   grow -- they are fanning the flames ruthlessly on the talk
   shows, even as they call for moderation at home  --  a
   sure sign of  readying/conditioning the population to be
   stampeeded into bloody unnecessary war  -- as with the
   Gulf War, WWI, WWI, the Spanish American War, the
   War with Mexico etc.
The fact that the American establishment monopoly is giving
   the current administration unprecedented praise and
   popularity-generating coverage as long as he continues
   to make let's-war, not-think talk.
The fact that congress was immediately ready to dump
  20 billion to fight terrorism  rather than to locate
  the perpetrators  -- 20 billion to the CIA which is
  heavily penetrated by Mossad.

That is enough to to suggest suspicion is not entirely
irrational -- after all we are living in an age of very
sophisticated techniques of disinformation to attain
political objectives  --  the famous strategies of
Sun Tzu that were consciously adopted by China's
Mao Tse-tung and ZHou Enlai  --  and China, by the
way is Israel's closest ally  --  Israel --or more properly
Trotskyites within Israel-- gave the secret of the neutron
bomb and other weapons to China during the Cold War--
the PRC and Israel were created at the same time, and
long shared the status of outcastes with respect to
much of the world  --  and NOTE:  Pakistan is something
of a puppet of China, especially the Maoist Bhutto faction
that has quais-returned to power with the lastest coup  --
and think of the tremendous geopolicial gain for CHina
if the US puts ground troops in Afganistan through

slightly two-faced throughout this controversy -- certainly
no one in our State Department or WHite House is discussing

Interview with Ron Kuby
 
The World Trade Center Bombing
and the Muslim Conspiracy Trials
 
by Husayn Al-Kurdi
 
 Ron Kuby, a partner of the renowned William Kunstler, has
been the defense lawyer most involved in defending the people who are
being swept up in Muslim conspiracy trials which followed the bombing
of the World Trade Center in New York. Although the government's
official story keeps changing, with most of the media following course,
it remains clear, as has been reported in previous articles by the
present author*, that the bombing of the World Trade Center and the
incitement of various people to commit illegal acts is the
responsibility of one Emad Salem, an FBI informant and sometime Egyptian
government operative.
During my interview with Kuby, the nature of the witch-hunts being
directed towards Muslims was clarified as he showed how the conspiracy
was of GOVERNMENT origin, with informant, Judge, prosecution and media
all dutifully playing their parts.

 Was there anything in my previous articles on the World
Trade Center bombing and the subsequent conspiracy trial that requires
amendation, correction or amplification?
 *Islamic Fundamentalism - New Whipping Boy on the
Block, The Alternative 11/30/93; Muslim Speaks Out Against War on
Islam, The Final Call 1/19/94; World Trade Center Bombing Trial Raises
Troubling Questions

Questions for FBI, The Espresso 4/15/94; Who Blew Up the World Trade
Center?, Anderson Valley Advertiser 4/20/94.

 The article on the FBI being involved in the World Trade
Center bombing actually UNDERSTATED the evidence, believe it or not. The
informer, Emad Salem, is actually on tape saying that he built the bomb
that ultimately blew up the World Trade Center.
 In addition, we have received information that he was
visually observed at the scene of the bombing shortly after the bombing
took place. Shortly after that, he was admitted to the hospital,
suffering from an ear problem that was consistent with exposure to
blast.

 Also, we know that he had a motive to blow up the World
Trade Center, the motive being that he had been dealing with the FBI
since at least November 1991, trying to convince the FBI that he had
infiltrated a cell of radical Muslims, trying to get the FBI to pay him
for his information. He kept going to the FBI with ever more hysterical
statements about bombs and explosives. In the summer of 1992, the FBI,
after apparently giving him a lie-detector test, refused to believe him
anymore and cut him loose.

 He needed a payoff. What better way for this sociopath, a
conscienceless human being, than to actually bomb the World Trade
Center. Indeed, within hours of the bombing the FBI was back on the
phone to him, promising him anything and everything if only he would
help them crack the case. The FBI, having set this maniac loose, bears
some of the responsibility for what happened.
 When did Emad Salem start to work for them?

 We don't know precisely. We do know he was affiliated
with Egyptian intelligence for quite some time. The FBI officially
acknowledges that Emad Salem began to work for them in November 1991,
during the trial of Sayyid Nosair, at which Nosair was found not guilty
of murdering Rabbi Meir Kahane. It was at that point that he infiltrated
himself into the group supporting Sayyid Nosair. It was Emad Salem, as
early as December of 1991, who was telling groups of these people that
they should become more militant. At one point Emad Salem suggested they
throw Molotov cocktails at a synagogue, to which the people listening
were absolutely horrified and were refusing to have anything to do with
him. After that, he sort of toned down his rhetoric.

 What is the current situation, in the wake of the
sentencing in the World Trade Center bombing conspiracy trial?
 After the four defendants were convicted, they fired
their lawyers. You will recall that all of these defendant, with the
exception of one, were denied counsels of their choice. The Judge
refused to appoint any of these lawyers because he didn't like them. He
didn't want any activist movement political lawyers.
 So they had to leave the case and were replaced by this
second-rate and even third-rate legal team. There was a disastrous
defense which did everything wrong that could be done wrong. After the
defendants were convicted, they fired all their lawyers and said they

Al-Qaida Tops Suspect List

1630 GMT, 010911

Osama bin Laden's organization , Al Qaida, is the
prime suspect
in the spate of attacks against the United States.
Based in
Afghanistan, the group has been linked to a series of
attacks on
U.S. assets around the world and has repeatedly
threatened to
strike the United States within its own borders.

An umbrella organization with an operational reach
that stretches
around the globe, Al-Qaida has been extremely
successful at
maintaining a high level of security and secrecy.

Despite the intelligence efforts of several world
powers, bin
Laden's organization has continued to support or
facilitate acts
of international terrorism. No nation has successfully
penetrated
the organization.

This is partly due to the fact that Al-Qaida operates
as an
umbrella group supporting a host of cells around the
world. The
organization develops autonomous cells capable of
operating
individually without a central command. Additionally,
Al-Qaida
coordinates operations and activities with various
other militant
organizations around the world. The hierarchy of the
relationships remains unknown.

Bin Laden himsefl has repeatedly threatened acts of
terrorism
against the United States, and Al-Qaida was pinpointed
in the
attacks on the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania in
1998.

Bin Laden, a Saudi, has operated from Afghanistan for
several
years. The Taliban, a radical Muslim authority that
rules most of
Afghanistan, has denied responsibility for the attacks
on New
York City and Washington, D.C.

  Who is the DFLP?

  1515 GMT, 010911

  The Democratic Front for the Liberation of
Palestine (DFLP) has
  reportedly claimed responsibility for the
attacks on the World
  Trade Center. This report, fromm a television
station in Abu
  Dhabi, in unconfirmed.

  The DFLP was formed in 1969 with an estimated
membership of 500.
  It was originally based in Syria, but the
location of its current
  headquarters are unknown. The DFLP receives
financial and
  military aid from Syria and Libya. It operates
in Syria, Lebanon,
  Israel and the occupied territories. Its leader
is Naif Hawatmeh,
  according to Israeli-based Interdisciplinary
Center.

  The group was largely dormant from 1988 until
this summer, when
  it claimed responsibility for an Aug. 25 attack
against an
  Israeli military post in the Gaza Strip that
left three Israeli
  soldiers dead. This attack was the first
instance of Palestinians
  successfully using conventional military-style
tactics.

  Before this year, DFLP operations have always
taken place either
  inside Israel or the West Bank and Gaza. Typical
acts include
  minor bombings and grenade attacks, as well as
operations to
  seize hostages and attempts to negotiate the
return of Israeli-
  held Palestinian prisoners.

  The group split from the Palestinian Front for
the Liberation of
  Palestine (PFLP) years ago, but reconciled with
the PFLP - and
  with Palestinian Authority leader Yasser Arafat
- in August 1999.

  The attacks differ significantly from the DFLP's
previous methods

 The short sell
 The low neumber of Jews in the Building

Jews or Israelis?

I dont think anyone has published numbers of Jews, Muslims, Christians,
Hindus, Sikhs, atheists, etc has anyone seen such numbers?


 The low number of people on the death flights


this only proves that whoever steered into the buildings wanted as little
resistance from the passengers as possible.


 The urging of many in the press to not bother investigating

I have not heard of this either - I've heard calls for deeper investigation,
though.

 The methodical exploitation of the event in Israel

just as the right wing govt. in America's exploitation of this doesn't
implicate them, the exploitation by Israelis doesn't implicate them either.
Many people will take advantage of this event, most of whom had nothing to
do with it


 Sharon's obvious motive to turn around public opinion after
 his brutal and callous willingness to retaliate with high
 collateral damage to innocent Palestinian bystanders
 and non-belligerents -- which cost Israel world opinion

that's a good motive

so is America troops in Saudi Arabia, the bombing of Somalia, and a general
demonization of Islam , since we lost the Russians as a bogeyman



 Sharon's brutalized background as a freedom fighter killing
 and carrying automatic weapons from age 14.


Sharon is a brutal animal - so was pol pot - so what - doesn't mean either
of them did it.

 Mossad's willingness to kill and deceive even allies for the
 greater good of defending Israel and its people

this again isn't proof of anything - its a statement, not even necessarily a
fact


 The willingness to think big and incurr lots of deaths to
 make geopolitical gains, was when Israel attacked
 the American USS Liberty with US flag flying and
 in successive attacks to kill all witnesses  -- either
 to frame Israel's enemies or because the Liberty
 may have picked up information that Israel did not
 want out.

its pretty clear it was the latter

but that was then - doesn't say anything about now - why not mention say
fundamentalist extremists willingness to kill innocents in pizzerias,
discos, embassies, airliners, etc

 The fact that two of the supposed Arab/Moslem terrorists
 identified as having hijacked the planes for use as
 a curise missile  have been found alive and well (one
 working in aviation in Tunisia)

again - this only proves we either don't have all the info yet, or that the
terrorists used fake id's. it says nothing about who did this attack


 The fact that Israel also has its freedom fighters willing
 to die for the greater cause

so that makes it more likely to be them than others, who have actually acted
on this belief?


 The fact that sophisticated psychological warfare means
 exist for recruiting useful idiots (perhaps deceiving
 or otherwise controlling men who hate and controlling
 them through manipulation of their hate and ignorance
 and frustration etc.

only Jews have this power?


 The fact that Israel's leadership is partially Trotskyite and
 therefore dedicated to a strategy of creating conflict
 to destroy enemies of a particular brand of socialist
 future -- according to a philosophy of dialectical conflict
 (the Trotskyite is both an infiltrator and a believer
 in destruction as a means of attaining an eventual
 greater good);

can you point out a single trotskyite in the Israeli govt.?



 The fact that many American Jews love Israel, fear for the
 future of its people, care about relatives living there,
 and are obligated to go along even with dirty tricks
 as all Americans go along with dirty tricks, worthwhile
 collateral damage to innocent people  --  notice how

[CTRL] A letter from Julienne

2001-09-19 Thread Steve

-Caveat Lector-

--- Forwarded message follows ---

Hi All,

I have been thinking. A sudden revelation hit me a few days ago about why
George Bush Jr. has such trouble communicating - falling all over his words,
using the wrong words, etc. I think it is because there is a dysjunct between
what he says and what he really believes. When what we say is authentic
there is usually a natural flow. George Bush jerks around, his eyes searching
for reaction and approval. If he gets a bit of approval, he is energized, and
gets excited, and tries to say more, still falling over his words, searching
awkwardly for sentence endings, stumbling all over.

When we don't tell the truth, we are tense - and we have to be very careful
what we are saying because we might trip and let slip the real truth.  A further
complication is that Bush has to either read his speeches, or he has to
memorize statements. If you notice, he often accents the wrong words, as
though he doesn't really get the meaning or significance.

We are dealing with a chronic and inveterate liar in George Bush, as his
father and mother before him. It is very important to know we are being
manipulated. George Bush is not a legitimate president, and if someone
wants to maintain that he is a legal president, there is no way to claim him a
morally legitimate president.

This means his whole presidency is a lie. This means we are going to be lied
to - a lot. This means we must be alert. Already we are seeing signs that
information is being manipulated and distorted,  events denied. The latest is
that they are saying Bin Laden has made a profit on the bombings because
he has insurance stock. Is this true? I don't know - but I wonder if George
Bush also has insurance stock?

Remember that George Bush is  a man who believes that other countries
out there are evil.  His knowledge of history and politics is abysmal, and he
functions on a giant degree of ignorance and prejudice. No wonder he, like
his father, can so easily go after them, and declare war so casually. In his
mind these are not really human beings.

Some of the questionable information floating around:

1) That the terrorists were after Air Force One. Seems it would have been
almost impossible because of physical ground logistics, and even more
impossible in the air. The terrorists were not practiced pilots, while the pilots
of Air Force One are top of the line. This story was supposedly concocted to
cover for why Bush didn't show up and was running scared instead of
standing bravely to lead.

2) Bin Laden has been labeled as the brain and funding behind this act, but
there is no proof yet, and those in the area say he isn't. Bin Laden himself
says he isn't.

3) Bush lied about so many things before becoming president, such as his
military experience ( he was taken off his plane because of his drug
problems, and should have been courtmartialed for not showing up much
after that.) Anyone else would have been. His drug problems, his drinking,
and so many other things have been hinted at. When these stores started to
come out, a furor was mounted against those who revealed the information
instead of holding Bush responsible.

As my son says, it's not that we *don't* know, it's that we *won't* know. We
don't want to know, and so we go into denial, and then become very hostile to
truth tellers.

So now, what we do.  We need to be alert to the brainwashing we will be
subject to. How do we recognize it?  Watch for catch phrases - phrases,
ideas, words, being repeated over and over. Some we've already seen:
America Under Attack,  which has changed now to, America at War,
America's New War (ominous - sounds as though wars are to be expected
like fashions, exchanging one for another with the seasons.)  And then there
is The First War of the Twenty First Century, again with the suggestion of
further wars to be expected, as though war were a normal and healthy
phenomenon - an idea which is itself a form of brainwashing.

The same music being played and replayed on TV. Notice how much
patriotic music is being played now, and religious music.

In connection with the war against Iraq the catch phrase is weapons of mass
destruction.a phrase designed to scare the living daylights out of us as we
envision Armageddon and the end of everything, and make us willing to go
along with anything to avoid such a fate. Of course, what is neatly ignored is
that the United States is the world's #1 maker of  *weapons of mass
destruction*, sold them to Iraq and just about every other country (hey - profits
are sweet - the heck with what is done with the weapons.) We also supplied
them to various countries because we supported their attacks against other
nations. Bin Laden was trained by us, as were these latest terrorists.

Watch for off pronunciation. An example from IRAQ - Sodom Hussein -
with the clear connection to Sodom and Gomorrah. Another is the fairly
recent way the Right has started referring to the Republican Agenda, 

[CTRL] Some facts to ponder over regarding the WTC investigation (fwd)

2001-09-19 Thread Yardbird

-Caveat Lector-

Assalamu'alaikum,

FBI's Investigation of the WTC Tragedy Exposed:

Part 1: The Black Box and the Indestructible Passport

All four Black Boxes were supposedly destroyed and rendered unusable in
spite of the fact that they are designed specifically for plane crashes
which result in insurmountable conditions...yet one of the hijackers
passports supposedly survives fire and heat of over 1,000 degrees fahrenheit
and is found in perfect shape in the rubble around the WTC towers?  What
kind of idiots does the FBI take us for?

How indestructible are the so-called Black Boxes?

Each airplane is equipped with a Flight Data Recorder and a Cockpit Voice
Recorded. The term Black Box is  used for these pieces of equipment. The
National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) web site gives valuable
information regarding these devices.

Regarding the Cockpit Voice Recorder it says:

The CVR records the flight crew's voices, as well as other sounds inside
the cockpit. The recorder's cockpit area microphone is usually located on
the overhead instrument panel between the two pilots. Sounds of interest to
an investigator could be engine noise, stall warnings, landing gear
extension and retraction, and other clicks and pops. From these sounds,
parameters such as engine rpm, system failures,  speed, and the time at
which certain events occur can often be determined. Communications with Air
Traffic Control, automated radio weather briefings, and conversation between
the pilots and ground or cabin crew are also recorded. [NTSB web site
http://www.ntsb.gov/aviation/CVR_FDR.htm]

Regarding the Flight Data Recorder it says:

The FDR onboard the aircraft records many different operating conditions of
the flight. By regulation, newly manufactured aircraft must monitor at least
twenty eight important parameters such as time, altitude, airspeed, heading,
and aircraft attitude. In addition, some FDRs can record the status of more
than 300  other in-flight characteristics that can aid in the investigation.
The items monitored can be anything from  flap position to auto-pilot mode
or even smoke alarms. [NTSB web site
http://www.ntsb.gov/aviation/CVR_FDR.htm]

Thus as we see each plane is equipped with two seperate Black Box devices
which relay different yet complimentary information. It goes on to say:

Both the Flight Data Recorder and the Cockpit Voice Recorder have proven to
be valuable tools in the  accident investigation process. They can provide
information THAT MAY BE DIFFICULT TO OBTAIN BY OTHER  MEANS. [NTSB web site
http://www.ntsb.gov/aviation/CVR_FDR.htm]

They are meant to be the hardy and sure way to get information regarding the
last minutes before the plane went down. Here are the specifications of
these devices including what they can withstand:

FLIGHT DATA RECORDER

Time recorded: 25 hour continuous
Number of parameters: 5 - 300+
Impact tolerance: 3400Gs /6.5ms
Fire resistance: 1100 degC/30 min
Water pressure resistance: submerged 20,000 ft
Underwater locator beacon: 37.5 KHz
Battery: 6yr shelf life
30 day operation

COCKPIT VOICE RECORDER

Time recorded: 30 min continuous, 2 hours for solid state digital units
Number of channels: 4
Impact tolerance: 3400 Gs /6.5ms
Fire resistance: 1100 deg C /30 min
Water pressure resistance: submerged 20,000 ft
Underwater locator beacon: 37.5 KHz
Battery: 6yr shelf life
30 day operation

These specifications indicate equipment which can survive just about any
conditions and any crash. Indeed, Black Boxes have been recovered from
crashes in swamps, mountains, and oceans.

ABC News reports:

Although investigators look for an entire black box, sometimes the only
parts of the device that survive  are the recorder's crash-survivable memory
units (CSMU). THE CSMU IS ALMOST INDESTRUCTABLE. It is housed  within a
stainless-steel shell that contains titanium or aluminum and a
high-temperature insulation of dry silica material.

It is designed to withstand HEAT OF UP TO 2,000 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT FOR ONE
HOUR, salt water for at least 30 days, immersion in a variety of liquids
such as jet fuel and lubricants, AND AN IMPACT OF 3,400 G's. By comparison,
astronauts are typically exposed to up to six Gs during a shuttle takeoff.
[ABCNews -
http://abcnews.go.com/sections/scitech/TechTV/techtv_blackboxes010917.html]

So the Black Box is designed to withstand an impact of 3,400 G's. So what
about the Pennsylvania crash site?

THE VOICE RECORDER WAS SAID TO BE HEAVILY DAMAGED, and the manufacturer was
being asked to help with  further analysis. The plane that crashed in
Pennsylvania was reported to have hit the ground in excess of  500 MILES PER
HOUR. [ABCNews -
http://more.abcnews.go.com/sections/us/dailynews/wtc_main010915.html]

The plane hit the ground at 500 mph. Taking the weight of the plane, its
speed of descent, the G's end up much, much lower than 3,400.

Since each plane has two seperate Black Boxes which are designed to be
indestructable in the event of a tragedy, that makes
