SPECIAL CITIZENS MESSAGE from Citizens Lobby
www.CitizensLobby.com * September 22, 2003
==

Fellow citizens,

David Limbaugh, conservative syndicated columnist and
brother of Rush, has written a new book which is sure to
draw the wrath of liberals and secularists everywhere --
PERSECUTION: HOW LIBERALS ARE WAGING WAR AGAINST
CHRISTIANITY.  Below is a special offer from the
Human Events Book Service.  Please read below ...

Regards,
CitizensLobby.com

==

Are Christians persecuted? In America? Open your eyes --
it's happening right now!

Persecution -- that's the name for it. Tolerance might be the
highest virtue in our popular culture, but it doesn't often
extend to Christians these days.

Christians are increasingly being driven from public life,
denied their First Amendment rights, and even actively
discriminated against for their beliefs.

In this relentless exposé of political correctness run amok,
best-selling author David Limbaugh rips apart the liberal
hypocrisy that condones selective mistreatment of Christians
in the mainstream media, Hollywood, our schools and universities,
and throughout our public life.

In PERSECUTION you'll enter the hotly contested battle for the
soul of our public schools. Here are appalling -- but true --
stories of how anti-Christian social engineers not only prohibit
school prayer and forbid students from wearing Christian symbols,
like a simple cross, but even expunge the real story of Christianity
in America from history textbooks. Worse still, in the name of
diversity, tolerance, multiculturalism, and sex education,
the social engineers actively inculcate hatred of Christianity as
ignorant, repressive, and offensive. Not exactly the agenda of most
parents whose tax dollars support the public schools.

Looking honestly at the dominant influence of Christianity in
America's colonial culture and schools, where the Bible was
routinely used as a textbook, Limbaugh makes a compelling case
that the education students receive today is not what the Founders
would have endorsed. Indeed, they would have been outraged at what
is taught -- and what the courts say -- in their name, under the
pretext of the non-constitutional and woefully misunderstood phrase:
separation of church and state.

Limbaugh zeroes in on how activist judges misinterpret and misapply
the Constitution to eliminate Christianity from American government
and public life. He reveals a society-wide disinformation campaign
that has successfully obscured, for many people, what the Constitution
actually says about religious freedom. While allegedly promoting
religious freedom, liberals actually suppress it.

Providing details of case after shocking case, Limbaugh demonstrates
that the anti-Christian forces now controlling significant portions
of our society aggressively target the slightest hint of public
Christianity for discrimination, yet ardently encourage the spread
of secular values - including alternative sexuality and promiscuity.

Limbaugh cuts cleanly through this confusion and distortion, exploring
the deeply held Christian faith of the Founding Fathers, and showing
that Christianity and Judeo-Christian principles are essential -- and
were recognized by the Founders as essential -- to the unique
political liberties Americans enjoy.

PERSECUTION is an indispensable tool to help Christians reclaim their
right (and duty) to enter the political arena and to try to influence
the course of this country. It helps every liberty-loving citizen to
champion what America is supposed to be about-religious freedom.

Among the evidence presented here that those who hate Christianity
are firmly in power:

* How the courts and the media establishment have established the
modern idea of separation of Church and state, despite the fact that
it's found nowhere in the Constitution or any other founding document!

* Chief Justice Rehnquist's ringing (but unsuccessful) argument
proving that the Establishment Clause didn't require the public
sector to be insulated from all things which may have religious
significance or origin

* How the education establishment vigorously endorses and promotes
values that most Christians find repugnant -- in violation of the
Constitutional protection of free exercise of religion!

* Three false assumptions you have to make in order to accept the
Supreme Court's argument that prayer in schools is unconstitutional

1) CNN's Judy Woodruff led Monday's Inside Politics by trumpeting
striking new evidence that President Bush may be beatable in
2004. Bill Schneider gleefully related: Judy, President Bush is
sinking! Last month the President's job approval rating was at 60
percent. Now it's dropped to 50, his lowest rating ever. Making
an illogical comparison, the CNN announcer at the top of the half
hour had contrasted Bush's plight with the huge leap forward for
Carol Moseley Braun, the last-place Democrat who had simply made
her hopeless presidential campaign official

2) The kind of people who listen to NPR think that left-wing
Democratic presidential candidate Carol Moseley Braun says
sensible things. On FNC's Special Report with Brit Hume on Monday
night, NPR White House correspondent Mara Liasson inadvertently
provided evidence that NPR appeals to liberals as she related how
NPR listeners praise Braun. Fred Barnes suggested that the media
have invested their hopes and dreams in Wesley Clark.

3) A Democratic Congressman from Georgia who just returned from a
visit to Iraq, in a Monday op-ed in the Atlanta Journal-
Constitution, condemned the news media for its excessively
negative drumbeat. U.S. Representative Jim Marshall asserted: I'm
afraid the news media are hurting our chances. They are dwelling
upon the mistakes, the ambushes, the soldiers killed, the
woundedFair enough. But it is not balancing this bad news with
'the rest of the story,' the progress made daily, the good news.
The falsely bleak picture weakens our national resolve,
discourages Iraqi cooperation and emboldens our enemy.

4) The news media regularly push for more and more government
spending to solve every problem, but on Sunday night ABC offered a
refreshing criticism of President Bush -- taking him on from the
right for approving of massive new and higher spending. Jake
Tapper pointed out that despite candidate Bush's promise that big
government is not the answer, under President Bush the size of
government is bigger as discretionary spending on transportation
and other non-military items increased by 21 percent under Mr.
Bush. And a taxpayer group says pork barrel spending is up 48
percent since 2001. Tapper recalled how at about this point in
his term, Ronald Reagan had vetoed 22 spending bills from
Congress, but President Bush has vetoed none.

5) President George W. Bush has discovered a way to avoid being
influenced by liberal media bias: He avoids reading newspapers or
watching television news. During Brit Hume's interview with Bush
aired Monday night on Fox and FNC, Bush revealed how he relies on
his staff for objective news summaries since a lot of times
there's opinions mixed in with news from the usual media outlets.
We won't disagree with that sir, Hume quipped in response.


Correction: Though the previous paragraph correctly listed the
contrasts amongst the networks, at a later point the September 18
CyberAlert incorrectly substituted ABC for NBC. The paragraph
read: While CBS and NBC devoted full stories to blaming Bush for
having long let stand the mis-impression that Hussein was involved
and characterized Bush's comment as contradicting Vice President

Fleshing Out Skull  Bones  Investigations into America's Most Powerful Secret Society


PREFACE
This book started as research into trying to understand some things my Dad told
me. When I was first writing on the subject, I contacted several publishers and was politely
told, by the one that answered, They didnt want to take on Skull  Bones.

An article of mine was published online at www.parascope.com, which was well received.
>From that article and a friendship with Antony Sutton  came this book.

The Internet has become an astounding force whose cultural and political realities
are still to be understood and its power is forcing change that continues today  with
an unknown ending. The Internet has allowed uncensored national discussion, engendered
understandings and energized a potent plebeian power whose creativity is
countering the secretive sophism that ruins our republic and economy through covert
corrupt means. The question remains: will the dreamscape that enthralls vast numbers
continue its hoodwink, and will our children wake up slaves in a mean, technologically
locked-down fascist state, or will they continue to slumber in the propaganda
and hidden corruption of the celebrity-laden delusion of the contrived virtual reality
friendly fascism that the secret societies have created around us  or will the Internet
and other factors bring about a revival of our civic heritage and liberty.

The most important thing that I would like folks to understand from this work
is that the secrecy of these organizations is not good for our Republic. These secret
societies are historically foreign-based and do not care about this country. Their ends
justifies the means zeitgeist leads to massive corruption and the institutionalized
sociological excess of elite deviancy. Where a certain few believe that they are
beyond the law and then through corrupted political and economic power  act
above the law, through whatever means at their disposal. One questions this book
examines is whether there is any truth in the age-old lore of the conspiracy theory of
history  are we are dealing with a multi-generational, necromantic, synarchistic
phenomenon? Have secret societies created a national security state apparatus to
beguile us hoi polloi of our economic, civic and spiritual integrity? Do these secret
societies create and play both sides in controlled conflicts to produce outcomes to
further their New World Order millenniumist designs?

Porch brethren are requirement for a secret society to work and many in these
organizations, magickal and fraternal are unawares of any deeper motivations of the
elite leadership of the group. It is when these secret organizations with members in
high political office exert their influence towards goals unknown and/or unbecoming
that we citizens should take notice  and action.

Mysticism and fellowship are not bad and evil things. They are just like any thing.
It is what people do with them  their actions that do ill or good in this world.

Secrecy and our Republic do not mix.
Our childrens future is what we leave them.

an excerpt from the article:
SECRECY AND OUR CONSTITUTION:
WHOM DO THEY SERVE?

by RALPH E. BUNCH
EMERITUS PROFESSOR OF THE DEPARTMENT OF POLITICAL SCIENCE OF PORTLAND STATE UNIVERSITY

All secret societies are conspiratorial factions aimed at achieving goals that, by
definition, are contrary to the public interest as determined by citizens in an open
society. As Madison says, no faction can be allowed to be a judge in its own cause,
because its interests would certainly bias its judgment and corrupt its integrity.
And, as Karl Popper says, freedom is impossible unless it is guaranteed by the
state; any secret society that weakens the rule of law, creates inequalities among
citizens by illegal means, or frustrates the legitimate aims of democratic policy
weakens a democratic republic and its objective of guaranteeing freedom to its
citizens. Logically, then, secret societies are threats to democratic societies.

-
 The very word "secrecy" is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths and to secret proceedings. We decided long ago that the dangers of excessive and unwarranted concealment of pertinent facts far outweighed the dangers, which are cited to justify it.

Bush Picks Ambassador to Afghanistan
 
September 23, 2003
The Guardian (UK)

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Bush has decided to name his special envoy to Afghanistan, Zalmay Khalilzad, as ambassador to the country. 

If approved by the Senate, Khalilzad would succeed Ambassador Robert Finn, who was the first ambassador to Afghanistan in more than two decades. Adolph Dubs was killed in 1979 in a shootout in Kabul after he was kidnapped by Afghan Muslim extremists while being driven to the U.S. Embassy. 

Khalilzad would continue to serve as special envoy, said White House spokesman Scott McClellan. 

Bush met with Khalilzad Monday morning and formally nominated him later in the day. ``Zal has done a great job as special envoy and the president appreciates Zal taking on this new role at such an important time as we continue to build upon the progress we are making in Afghanistan,'' McClellan said. 

Khalilzad, an ethnic Pashtun, was born in Mazar-e-Sharif the son of a government worker who moved the family to Kabul. Khalilzad, from an upper-class family, studied at American University in Beirut and earned a doctorate in 1979 at the University of Chicago. 

Between 1985 and 1989, Khalilzad worked at the State Department, advising on the Iran-Iraq war and the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. 

In 1991 and 1992, he was assistant deputy undersecretary of defense for policy planning, working under Paul Wolfowitz, now No. 2 at the Pentagon. 

During the Clinton years, Khalilzad worked on defense and political issues at the Washington office of Rand, a policy think tank. 

After Bush was elected, Vice President Dick Cheney named him to head Bush's transition team for defense. 

In May 2001, Khalilzad was named special assistant to the president and senior director at the National Security Council for the Persian Gulf, southwest Asia and other issues in the region. 

In the winter of 2000, before he was appointed to the NSC, he outlined his recommendations for U.S. policy goals in Afghanistan in an article published by The Washington Quarterly. As Bush began the war on terrorism, many of [Khalilzad's] ideas later materialized as policy

Another fine mess 

Post-September 11, George Bush began an unwinnable war on multiple fronts against a nebulous enemy. And two years on, a new study shows, the campaign has had little impact on its targets. Brian Whitaker reports 

September 11, 2003
The Guardian (UK)

Politicians have a habit of declaring war on all sorts of intangible enemies - war on crime, war on drugs, war on whatever. These are only wars in a manner of speaking and we don't normally expect aircraft carriers to be dispatched and missiles readied in order to deal with them.

Five days after the September 11 suicide attacks on New York and Washington, President George Bush declared his intention to retaliate. 

"This crusade, this war on terrorism," he said, "is going to take a while".

The word "crusade" proved an immediate own-goal, alarming Muslims with its historical allusion, and White House officials hastily back-tracked, making clear that "crusade" was only a figure of speech. 

But the "war" on terrorism was not a figure of speech. As the world soon discovered, George Bush meant it literally.

From the very beginning, the war on terrorism was ill-conceived. Amid the trauma of September 11, that was understandable and to some extent excusable, but the US has done little or nothing over the last two years to refine its concept and the objectives of the war are even more muddled today than they were in 2001.

The war on terrorism, almost by definition, is infinite and unwinnable. No political leader is ever going to claim "victory" because that would be tempting fate. The best we can hope for is that it will eventually fade to more manageable proportions.

It is also a war against an undefined, nebulous enemy. Mr Bush insists, in the war on terrorism, that we are either for him or against him -- and yet there is no international consensus on what the word "terrorism" means.

Russia, China, and many other countries, have their own ideas about terrorism and have been happy to step up internal repression in the pretence of helping Mr Bush.

The war, as conceived by Mr Bush, also treats terrorism in a vacuum, as a phenomenon that is simply evil and not the product of history or circumstance: never mind the injustices or the violence committed by governments -- all that the suicide bombers want is a business-class ticket to paradise.

The result is a war that tries to deal with the symptoms -- by making terrorism more difficult -- while ignoring the factors that turn people towards violence. This is rather like the crime prevention strategy of fitting extra bolts to your windows and doors in the hope that burglars will rob your neighbour's house instead: it may be worth doing, but don't expect it to cure the underlying problem.

During the first year of the war on terrorism, according to the US state department's annual report, Patterns of Global Terrorism, there appeared to be some progress in dealing with the symptoms. The number of international terrorist incidents (as defined by the state department) fell to 199 in 2002 from 355 the year before. 

But a closer look shows that the reduction occurred almost entirely in South America, which is hardly a hotbed of Islamic militancy. If the South American figures are excluded, the war on terrorism reduced the number of year-on-year attacks by only 5.

Worldwide casualties reported by the state department in 2002 were 2,738 compared with 5,431 in 2001 (the year of September 11). If the exceptionally high toll of September 11 is excluded, the total for 2001 was slightly less than half of last year's figure. 

The casualty totals for 2000 and 1999 were 1,211 and 940 respectively -- a lot lower than last year's figure -- though 1998 was a bad year with 6,695 casualties.

Counting the terrorist attacks for this year is likely to give the state

Since God is omnipotent, He can speak to us through any aspect of His
creation, including the person of a man. So why not a robot? Some time in
this century, AI will advance so far that socially interacting robots will
surpass us in every measurable aspect of intelligence. Their theological
expressions will be so far superior to that of man that homo sapiens will
have a strange kind of variation on the Turing Test. Just as Christians
2,000 years ago wondered how they could differentiate a super-special man
and God speaking through that man, humans will wonder if Godbot is not God
speaking through a robot. What kind of robotheology would it take to pass
that kind of Turing Test?

Will Godbot pose a threat to national security? Don't you think DARPA
should create at least a way of differentiating a real Godbot from a bogus
Godbot?

…Daily updates on MRC's latest analysis



Today’s CyberAlert:
http://www.mediaresearch.org/cyberalerts/2003/cyb20030923.asp

1. CNN Trumpets How “Bush is Sinking!”  “May Be Beatable in 2004
CNN’s Judy Woodruff led Monday’s Inside Politics by trumpeting “striking
new evidence that President Bush may be beatable in 2004.” Bill Schneider
gleefully related: “Judy, President Bush is sinking! Last month the
President's job approval rating was at 60 percent. Now it's dropped to
50, his lowest rating ever.” Making an illogical comparison, the CNN
announcer at the top of the half hour had contrasted Bush’s plight with
the “huge leap forward” for Carol Moseley Braun, the last-place Democrat
who had simply made her hopeless presidential campaign official.

2. Liasson Reveals NPR Listeners Think Braun “Says Sensible Things”
The kind of people who listen to NPR think that left-wing Democratic
presidential candidate Carol Moseley Braun “says sensible things.” On
FNC’s Special Report with Brit Hume on Monday night, NPR White House
correspondent Mara Liasson inadvertently provided evidence that NPR
appeals to liberals as she related how NPR listeners praise Braun. Fred
Barnes suggested that the media have “invested their hopes and dreams in
Wesley Clark.”

3. Media’s “Falsely Bleak Picture” in Iraq “Emboldens Our Enemy”
A Democratic Congressman from Georgia who just returned from a visit to
Iraq, in a Monday op-ed in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, condemned
the news media for its excessively negative drumbeat. U.S. Representative
Jim Marshall asserted: “I'm afraid the news media are hurting our
chances. They are dwelling upon the mistakes, the ambushes, the soldiers
killed, the woundedFair enough. But it is not balancing this bad news
with 'the rest of the story,’ the progress made daily, the good news. The
falsely bleak picture weakens our national resolve, discourages Iraqi
cooperation and emboldens our enemy.”

4. ABC Points Out How Spending is Soaring Under President Bush
The news media regularly push for more and more government spending to
solve every problem, but on Sunday night ABC offered a refreshing
criticism of President Bush -- taking him on from the right for approving
of massive new and higher spending. Jake Tapper pointed out that despite
candidate Bush’s promise that “big government is not the answer,” under
President Bush “the size of government is bigger” as “discretionary
spending on transportation and other non-military items increased by 21
percent under Mr. Bush. And a taxpayer group says pork barrel spending is
up 48 percent since 2001.” Tapper recalled how “at about this point in
his term, Ronald Reagan had vetoed 22 spending bills from Congress,” but
“President Bush has vetoed none.”

5. Bush Tells Hume He Avoids Media Bias By Avoiding News Media
President George W. Bush has discovered a way to avoid being influenced
by liberal media bias: He avoids reading newspapers or watching
television news. During Brit Hume’s interview with Bush aired Monday
night on Fox and FNC, Bush revealed how he relies on his staff for
“objective” news summaries since “a lot of times there's opinions mixed
in with news” from the usual media outlets. “We won't disagree with that
sir,” Hume quipped in response.

Backhanded Bush Compliment: He’s Now Less Misleading
Richard Stevenson gives out backhanded compliments for what he calls the
Bush administration’s recent “increase in straight talk.” Stevenson
writes: “By the standards of a White House that insists that nearly
everything at all times is proceeding precisely according to plan, and
where misjudgment is typically held to be a stranger, the last few weeks
have brought a new, unvarnished tone.”

Air Force Ignored Abuse at Academy, Inquiry Reports By Diana Jean Schemo - Washington, 9/22/03 "Top leaders of the United States Air Force disregarded persistent warnings over the last decade that frequent and unpunished sexual assaults were undermining its academy in Colorado Springs, a civilian commission investigating the matter reported today. The commission also said the Air Force general counsel, Mary L. Walker, largely ignored this history of official neglect when she reported on rape at the academy in June in an effort "to shield Air Force Headquarters from public criticism." http://www.nytimes.com/2003/09/23/politics/23CADE.html?hp

Kansas City Star 09-05-03 Kansas City diocese faces two sexual abuse lawsuits By Kevin Murphy "Two lawsuits filed Thursday accuse a former Kansas City area priest of sexually abusing minors, and allege that the Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph failed to respond appropriately. In one of the lawsuits filed in Jackson County Circuit Court, plaintiff Kenneth Landes says the ex-priest, Hugh Monahan, abused him between 1982 and 1987 when he was assigned to St. Robert Bellarmine Church in Blue Springs. In the other lawsuit, an anonymous Kansas City man said Monahan's abuses occurred between 1975 and 1979 when Monahan served at three churches. The lawsuit says the diocese breached a 1999 agreement to give the plaintiff counseling." http://www.kansascity.com/mld/kansascity/news/local/6694019.htm

"May/June 2003 Amplifying Officials, Squelching Dissent
FAIR study finds democracy poorly served by war coverage By Steve Rendall  Tara Broughel 
"Since the invasion of Iraq began in March, official voices have dominated U.S. network newscasts, while opponents of the war have been notably underrepresented, according to a study by FAIR. Starting the day after the bombing of Iraq began on March 19, the three-week study (3/20/03-4/9/03) looked at 1,617 on-camera sources appearing in stories about Iraq on the evening newscasts of six television networks and news channelsNearly two thirds of all sources, 64 percent, were pro-war, while 71 percent of U.S. guests favored the war. Anti-war voices were 10 percent of all sources, but just 6 percent of non-Iraqi sources and 3 percent of U.S. sources. Thus viewers were more than six times as likely to see a pro-war source as one who was anti-war; with U.S. guests alone, the ratio increases to 25 to 1."

Bush Accused by Lords of the Bar     Nat Hentoff     The Village Voice 
Friday 19 September 2003 "Ignored by most media, an array of prominent federal judges, government officials, and other members of the legal establishment has joined in a historic rebellion against George W. Bush's unprecedented and unconstitutional arrogance of power that threatens the fundamental right of American citizens to have access to their lawyers before disappearing indefinitely into military custody without charges, without seeing an attorney or anyone except their guards.     The case, Padilla v. Rumsfeld, is now before the Second Circuit Court of Appeals. In a compelling friend-of-the-court brief on Padilla's behalf by an extraordinary gathering of the aforementioned former federal court judges, district court judges, and other legal luminaries of the establishment bar, they charge: "This case involves an unprecedented detention by the United States of an American citizen, seized on American soil, and held incommunicado for more than a year without any charge being filed against him, without any access to counsel, and without any right to challenge the basis of his detention before a United States judge or magistrate"
