[CTRL] Oil cartel, price fixing, fake shortage
http://www.larouchepub.com/other/2004/3123oil_speculation.html This article appears in the June 11, 2004 issue of Executive Intelligence Review. LaRouche: Bankrupt Speculators With $25 Per Barrel Oil by Richard Freeman and John Hoefle [Note: Figures and tables in this article are available to subscribers to Electronic Intelligence Weekly.] In a declaration of war against the speculators who had pushed the price of crude oil above $42 a barrel, and are launching it towards $50-60, 2004 Presidential candidate Lyndon LaRouche called on May 28 for the price of oil to be set at a target price of $25-26 per barrel, by nation-to-nation contracts, in order to bankrupt and take away the power of the speculators, and restore order to the oil market. LaRouche has emphasized that the high oil price is not a product of a shortage of oil production, of OPEC cutting oil supplies, or other cover stories, but arises from speculation by the big oil companies, investment banks, hedge funds, and other financial players, who are using the extra take to try to hold the financial system together. However, some in the circle of Vice President Dick Cheney favor a currently ongoing destabilization of the entire Southwest Asia and contiguous region: from the disaster in Iraq; to the recent terrorist assault in Al-Khobar, Saudi Arabia, against a complex housing foreign oil workers, which killed two dozen people; to the violence in Pakistan; which would create chaos in the region. This plan, sanctioned by certain financial players who think the financial system can't be held together, would trigger a conflagration in Southwest Asia, and send the oil price to unprecedented heights. Already in a Sept. 19, 2000 memorandum, entitled, Bring Oil Inflation Under Control, LaRouche had asserted that governments must declare a general strategic emergency, and establish contracts, directly between and among governments, of not less than 12 months' government scheduled deliveries of petroleum from exporting to consuming nations; at the same time, defining reasonable prices for these contracts. Based on these principles, the plan would bring a most critical segment of this speculative inflation under control, and also set standards of cooperation now urgently needed, for dealing with the general international banking and related crises (see page 10). Put into practice today, this urgent solution would bring the price of oil to the $25 range. Rigged Market Some fools will insist on buying the Brooklyn Bridge, no matter how many times you tell them it's already been sold. The same is true with the story that there is an oil shortage. The truth: No oil shortage exists. Figures from the Paris-based International Energy Agency (IEA), the central collection point for world oil information, show that for the first quarter of 2004, world oil supplies were in the range of 82.3 million barrels a day (mbd), with consumption lower, in the range of 80.5 mbd to as high as 81.5 mbd. Thus, the world was in surplus during the first 90 days of the year, during the very period that world oil prices leapt by $7 per barrel. Furthermore, there is no relationship between the price of oil and the amount of oil being produced. Over the past several decades, oil production has increased slowly and predictably. Figure 1 shows that, since 1992, production has grown by approximately 15% Though not shown, world oil consumption has also grown gradually and predictably. Only if production had dropped significantly, or consumption risen steeply, should the world oil price have jumped up. Neither of these two changes has happened. How, then, should one explain the activity of the past dozen years, in which the oil price swung wildly up and down, regardless of rising production levels? Figure 1 shows the price gyrated wildly, first downward, then upward, then down again, and then up; today, the oil price is more than 50% above its 1992 level. The key to the ability of the financiers behind the oil cartel to manipulate prices in the oil market, is the shift which occurred during the oil crises of 1974 and 1979, in which long-term contractsfrequently for 24 or 36 monthsat stable prices were replaced with the spot market and then the futures markets. Spot and Futures Markets The oil spot market was created in 1969 by the Lazard/Rothschild-allied Philipp Brothers, then the world's largest metals trader. Philipp Brothers, largely in the person of their top trader Marc Rich, began by selling small quantities of Iranian crude oil to independent refiners. The oil shocks of 1973 and 1979, which were orchestrated by the financier oligarchy under the cover of the OPEC oil embargo and the fall of the Shah in Iran, resulted in a shift in oil pricing away from long-term contracts toward the Rotterdam-based spot market. By spot is meant, that one buys the oil at a market only 24-48 hours before one takes physical (spot) delivery, as opposed to buying it 12 or more months in

If someday your children or grand-children ask you how Liberty died in
America and what happened that caused the demise of this great Nation, read this
and you will be able to answer them. If they ask you why the Citizens have
been disarmed, you'll know.
If you want to know why, go to your local library, no matter where you live
in the US. Tell the librarian to show you where the United States Code
books are shelved. There are 25 books in the set. They are reddish-brown in
col-or. They are printed by the Govern-ment Printing Office in Washington,
DC.These hardcover-ed books are printed every 8-10 years. They are up-dated with
annual soft-back supplements each year until a new hardcover issue comes out.
At the present time, the 1988 hardbacks are on library shelves.
OPEN VOLUME 9. The page numbers are in the center near the middle binding.
The section numbers are along the edges.
TURN TO PAGE 651. Here you will find Public Law 87-297 which calls for the
US to e-liminate its armed forces. This law was signed for the US in 1961.
John F. Kennedy signed it and every president since has worked to enact its
provisions. The government knows you will not approve, which is why they want to
take away your firearms. {this is title 22 USC section 2551].
TURN TO PAGE 652. Here you will find the definition of what the government
means by disarmament. The disarmament calls for the elimination of our armed
forces. It also calls for the elimination of weapons of all kinds. {This is
title 22 USC 2552(a)}.
TURN TO PAGE 654. Here you will find it stated as Item (a)control,
reduct-ion and elimination of armed forces ... and as Item (d)...elimination of
armed forces ... What you need to know is that your armed forces are being
eliminated and re-linquished from National control which, in turn, wipes out our
sovereignty as a nat-ion. In two stages, we will have no more army, no
more navy, no more air force. In the third stage, we shall have a zero
military. Before Stage I closes, all citizen-owned guns are to be banned. {This is
Title 22 USC Section 2571 (a)}.
Public Law 87-297 is further explained in the State Department Document
called Publication 7277. Your librarian can also furnish you a copy. Also ask the
librarian to get you a copy of The Blue Print for the Peace Race. It is a
35-page booklet printed by the United States Arms Control and Disarmament
Agency as Publication No. 4 - General Series 3 - Released May of 1962.
Publication No. 4 is the unabridg-ed version of State
Department Document 7277.
Both of these booklets explain how our military is to be reduced to 2.1
mil-lion men. China and the Soviets are to be reduced to that level also. At this
point, we are at Stage I at which time we are to transfer (on a permanent
basis) one-half of our armed forces to be merged with the Russian and Chinese
armies. In Stage II, the remaining one-half of our armed forces is then
turned over to this same Security Council of the United Nations. The person in
charge of the merged armies must, by agreement, always be a Russian. the world's
smaller nations turn 100% of their armies over to the same undersecretary of
the Security Council in Stage II. President George Bush and Admiral William
J. Crowe [have referred] to this process as being in transition.

The heaviest rotation came between midnight and 6 a.m., an on-air no man's land visited largely by insomniacs, truckers and graveyard shift workers. On one Sunday morning, the three-minute, 24-second song aired 18 times, sometimes as little as 11 minutes apart. Those plays, or spins, helped Don't Tell Me vault into the elite top 10 on Billboard magazine's national pop radio chart, which radio program directors across the country use to spot hot new tunes. But what many chart watchers may not know is that the predawn saturation in Nashville - and elsewhere - occurred largely because Arista Records paid the station to play the song as an advertisement. In all, sources said, WQZQ aired Don't Tell Me as an ad at least 40 times the week ending May 23, accounting for more than one-third of the song's airplay on the station. The Don't Tell Me campaign is part of the latest craze in record promotion, a high-pressure part of the music business in which the labels try to influence which songs reach the air. In the late 1950s, rock's earliest days, the industry was hit by a series of payola scandals in which cash bribes were paid to disc jockeys who agreed to play certain songs. That practice was subsequently outlawed, prompting record companies to find more subtle means of currying favor with radio programmers, such as free junkets and concert tickets. In the latest twist, it's the radio stations themselves that have been reaching out to the labels, offering to play songs in the form of ads, often in the early morning hours when there tends to be an excess inventory of airtime. The practice is legal as long as the station makes an on-air disclosure of the label's sponsorship - typically with an introduction such as And now, Avril Lavigne's Don't Tell Me, presented by Arista Records. To be sure, Don't Tell Me is a bona fide hit, even without spins being bought and paid for. Radio stations must play a song many thousands of times for it to crack the Billboard top 10. Nonetheless, a few hundred spins here and there can move a song up a place or two in the rankings - and ensure that it is climbing rather than falling on the charts. Playing songs as advertising makes the chart unreliable, said Garett Michaels, program director of San Diego rock station KBZT-FM. Basically, the radio station isn't playing a song because they believe in it. They're playing it because they're being paid. All five major record corporations have at least dabbled in the sales programs, industry sources said, with some reportedly paying as much as $60,000 in advertising fees to promote a single song. Interscope Records has purchased spins for the Black Eyed Peas' song Hey Mama in recent weeks, as well as for Sheryl Crow's The First Cut Is the Deepest and Sugababes' Hole in the Head, sources said. Virgin Records has bought advertising time for rock band A Perfect Circle. Lava Records has purchased airplay for singer Cherie, and V2 Records has done the same for Katy Rose. Representatives for the record labels declined to comment. But one label executive who has purchased airplay, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the idea was clearly to prop up songs long enough for them to attract genuine fans. In our business, perception is reality, he said. The minute you're down in spins, these program directors drop the record. ___ portside (the left side in nautical parlance) is a news, discussion and debate service of the Committees

Rain is coming and the wind is beginning to whip the water into a chop. The distant islands are enshrouded in mist and cloud, and are now barely visible. In the foreground, the American Flag is flying at half-mast. The markets are closed; Ronald Reagan is dead. 25 years ago, at Ronald Reagan's 1st inaugural ball, dignitaries would have been treated to Maryland crab cakes. 25 years ago, Maryland crab cakes actually came from Maryland they were trapped in the Chesapeake Bay. Not any more. Times have changed. 25 years ago, America was a very different place too, and Americans were very different people. But it was in this era, we argue, that the shift took place. The sea was about to change, and the new president would be the catalyst. We look back to a previous generation. We look to an American who worked hard, who invested his sweat and time into building a great country... the greatest country. This was an American who saved his money and avoided debt. He understood stocks were risky and left them to the sharps on Wall Street. He was frugal - luxury was scorned in favor of security. But as a new decade came around, and a new president was sworn in, one generation passed the baton onto the next. The war generation was nearing retirement while the baby boomers were coming of age. Cutting the tax lifeline of federal economic policy practice during the 1980s was as effective a conservative strategy of political retrenchment as it was manipulation of public sentiment, notes Michael Bernstein in his recentlypublished essay: 'Cold War triumphalism and the deformation of the American economy.' It also utilized a supreme conceit that victory in the cold war somehow proved that a traditional capitalism was the best of all possible worlds indifferent to the fact that it was a uniquely nontraditional capitalist system that had made the nation so prosperous after World War II. It was during the 80s that the young pretenders assumed power and control of the nation, and with them, a new legacy was born. A legacy of 'trickle-down' taxes and a new trend to debt, waste and consumption. Gone was thrift, gone was saving, gone was toil. Gone was Rosie the Riveter, enter Sally the SUV soccer mom. No longer could the American live without air- conditioning, or giant cars, or giant plates of food that not even the hungriest of men could clean. Your editor was woken up last night by the cold, shivering on one of the hottest nights of the year... the temperature in his hotel room had been set to 50 degrees. He then had to plead with a hotel employee not to wash the bed linen or towels after just one use. Reagan's supply-side economics just supplied the nation with credit. During the first Reagan term, continues Bernstein, the annual federal deficit grew from 2.7% to 5.2% of GDP. If fiscal balance had been the central promise of the new departures in policy practice undertaken in 1981, the federal ledger became, by 1983, an indelible record of failure. By 1989, the total national debt stood at some $2 trillion; in this regard Ronald Reagan stood alone as one of the most profligate peacetime spenders in the history of the republic. Today, the national debt stands at $7.2 trillion. A new mindset had been created let us splurge and squander. Reagan's election marked the beginning of a new bull market in stocks, bonds and houses. Could his death mark the death of his legacy and the death of the credit bubble? We know not, dear reader, but we shall see. The dollar was the biggest market story of the week, gaining over 3 cents against the euro. On Friday, 1.20 was briefly

[CTRL] John Kerry Is as Close to God as God / United States Grammar School Interim Report to Parents
-Caveat Lector- Forwarded with Compliments of Government of the USA in Exile (GUSAE): Free Americans Resisting the Fourth Reich on Behalf of All Species. NOTE: Thanks to Rick Davis for both of these--one thoughtful, one charming. -- kl, pp June 11, 2004 http://www.counterpunch.org/alexander06112004.html The Fantasies of Chalmers Johnson: John Kerry Is as Close to God as God By PAUL ALEXANDER It is very disheartening to me to still see articles in Leftwing publications and websites giving another rundown on the lies of George W. Bush. Do people really think that they can even possibly get through to someone at this point who doesn't know that Bush is a liar? Do people honestly think that writing another article on Bush's fabrications for a leftist site or magazine is actually useful? Now while the repetitiveness of these claims has caused my brain to blister, I am even more bewildered when someone like Chalmers Johnson gives a speech to a Democratic Party club in SoCal on the attributes of John Kerry. Johnson seems to me like an extremely learned man who gives you footnotes after he talks to you. I am honestly put back on my heels a little when a man like him decides to endorse Kerry. But then I look at the reasons Johnson has for endorsing Kerry and I begin to feel stronger in my convictions once again. His reasons are: 1. He is not a chickenhawk like Bush. Johnson points out that the only non-chickenhawk in Bush's administration is Colin Powell. Yes, that's true...but so what? I agree that on this topic there is no doubt of the hyprocrisy of Bush and that Kerry is not hyprocritical. But what does this have to do with policy decisions? Chickenhawk Bush and his chickenhawk buddies proposed the war on Iraq and non-chickenhawk, decorated war hero John Kerry, a man who supposedly understands the gravity of combat and the effects of it on soldiers and civilians, went along with their cowardly asses. I don't see Kerry's war experiences having a real effect in this occasion and haven't seen it in his pronouncements to send more troops over to Iraq if elected. Perhaps he was too caught up in the hysteria of 9/11? Well, what about the courage under fire our leader should have, especially from one who has been under fire? 2. He was a leader of the Vietnam Veterans Against the War. Yes, this is also true. But that was a long time ago, people change and it's pretty clear that Kerry has. Thirty years ago, Vietnam, no. Now, Iraq, yes. 3. He will stop the secrecy of the Executive Branch. "Given his nineteen years of service in the Senate, he is likely to end at least a significant part of the secrecy that covers up the destruction of the environment, the deployment of weapons in outer space, our refusal to conserve fossil fuels, and many other scandals," Johnson says. Ok, now here is where I get really lost. Johnson, a scholarly writer of quite some renown, acknowledges Kerry's time in the Senate without giving one example of Kerry's acting on any of the topics in that sentence. You would think that 19 years in the Senate would have given one enough time to at least make a stand in the direction towards rolling back government secrecy. Instead, just serving 19 years in the Senate is enough to make one "likely to end at least a significant part of the secrecy..." I know when Kerry first came into office he initiated investigations into BCCI and Contra/drug connections. That was brave and seems to have been attributed to an initial naivete about what his actual role as a Democratic senator is. Also, people change. I definitely wouldn't call the Patriot Act a step towards the reduction of governmental secrecy, but Kerry I guess did when he voted in favor of it. 4. "The main issue in the coming election is the Constitution and the need to restore its integrity as the supreme law of the land. It was concern over violations of the Constitution that energized the Howard Dean campaign. Kerry will end the tenure of John Ashcroft and the illegal incarceration of native-born citizens in Federal prisons and prosecute those responsible for torture in Iraq and at Guantanamo Bay. If we're lucky, he might even close the School of the Americas at Fort Benning, Georgia, which is where we instruct military officers from Latin America in state terrorism. For those even slightly interested in human rights, a Kerry victory is indispensable." Holy shit, I didn't know that Kerry was the second coming of the second coming. Although HE VOTED FOR THE PATRIOT ACT, he will "end the tenure of John Ashcroft and the illegal incarceration of native-born citizens in Federal prisons and prosecute those responsible for torture in Iraq and at Guantanamo Bay." Wow, I knew I was wrong for questioning ol' Chalmers, he can see into the future. Notice the absence of doubt. He must know something we don't. Did he perhaps catch a glimpse of Kerry slipping into a phone booth back in the 60s and emerge as Martin Luther King Jr.?

Miguel D'Escoto Speaks From Nicaragua http://www.democracynow.org/article.pl?sid=04/06/08/1453219 We go to Managua, Nicaragua to speak with Fr. Miguel D'Escoto, a Catholic priest who was Nicaragua's Foreign Minister under the Sandinista government in the 1980s. The 8 years Reagan was in office represented one of the most bloody eras in the history of the Western hemisphere, as Washington funneled money, weapons and other supplies to right wing death squads. And the death toll was staggering - more than 70,000 political killings in El Salvador, more than 100,000 in Guatemala, 30,000 killed in the contra war in Nicaragua. In Washington, the forces carrying out the violence were called "freedom fighters." This is how Ronald Reagan described the Contras in Nicaragua: "They are our brothers, these freedom fighters and we owe them our help. They are the moral equal of our founding fathers." RUSH TRANSCRIPT FATHER MIGUEL D'ESCOTO: First of all, let me start out by saying that, of course, Reagan is now dead. And I, for one, would like to say only nice things about him. I'm not insensitive to the feelings of many U.S. people mourning president Reagan, but as I pray that god in his infinite mercy and goodness forgive him for having been the butcher of my people, for having been responsible for the deaths of some 50,000 Nicaraguans, we cannot, we should not ever forget the crimes he committed in the name of what he falsely labeled freedom and democracy. More perhaps than any other U.S. President, Reagan convinced many around the world that the U.S. is a fraud, a big lie. Not only was it not democratic, but in fact the greatest enemy of the right of self-determination of peoples. Reagan, as you mentioned just a few minutes ago, was known as the great communicator, and I believe that that is true only if one believes that to be a great communicator means to be a good liar. That he was for sure. He could proclaim the biggest lies without even as much as blinking an eyelash. Hearing him talk about how we were supposedly persecuting Jews and burning down non-existent synagogues, I was led to believe really, that Reagan was possessed by demons. Frankly, I do believe Reagan at that time as much as Bush today was indeed possessed by the demons of manifest destiny. Of course, as I say this, I'm quite aware that to the people of say for example, Project for a New American Century, that is counted as a big plus. Because of Reagan and his spiritual heir George W. Bush, the World today is far less safe and secure as it has ever been. Reagan in fact was an international outlaw. He came to the Presidency of the United States shortly after Samosa, a Dictator that the U.S. has imposed over Nicaragua for practically half a century; had been deposed by Nicaraguan Nationalists under the leadership of the Sandinista Liberation Front. To Reagan Nicaragua had to be re-conquered. He blamed Carter for having lost Nicaragua, as if Nicaragua ever belonged to anyone else other than the Nicaraguan people. That was then the beginning of this war that Reagan invented, and mounted and financed and directed, the Contra War. About which he continually lied to the People. Helping the United States people to be the most ignorant people around the world. I said i! gnorant, I don't say not intelligent. But the most ignorant people around the world about what the United States does abroad. People don't even begin to see -- if they did, they would rebel. And so, he lied to the people, as Bushlies to the people today and as they push on, thinking that the United States is above every law, human or divine. And we took the United States, Reagan's United States, his government to court, the World Court. I was Foreign

ARCHIBOLD When protesters descend on the Republican convention this summer, Christian Herold will be there with bells on. Then, he will ring them. Mr. Herold has ordered hundreds of one-inch, gold-plated bells - the kind that could easily adorn a Christmas tree - that he plans to distribute to any takers. He will call participants in his Ring Out project to surround ground zero - as close as they can - and raise a cacophony to ring out the Republicans shortly before the convention opens on Aug. 30. The bell stands for different emotions - anger, alarm - and it's emblematic of the Liberty Bell, Mr. Herold, 47, said the other night as he and three companions readied dozens of bells to show at a meeting of protest groups. Mr. Herold is hardly alone in making somewhat unorthodox plans to greet the Republicans, who will hold their convention for the first time in New York, from Aug. 30 to Sept. 2 at Madison Square Garden. Luke Kuhn, 38, a self-described radical who lives near Washington, has sent out e-mail pleas seeking a suitable kiln to melt a brass ring, about the size of a large wedding band, inscribed with Bush ber Alles, at the start of the convention. Axis of Eve, a protest group formed in January to focus on women's rights, is selling underwear adorned with anti-Bush slogans and is organizing 100 women to flash them during the convention (The underwear will be worn over body suits or leotards to keep it legal.) Zoe Strauss, a Philadelphia photographer, is urging people to wear red bandannas en masse as a symbol of protest and plans to bring 10,000 to the convention to hand out. Wendy Tremayne, a performance artist, is recruiting volunteers for a Vomitorium, a re-enactment of a Roman orgy that she plans to stage as a protest against imperialism, consumerism and gluttony. Just what approach to take is debated among prospective demonstrators, in meetings and Internet chat groups, where calls to shut down the Republican gathering and confront the police are mixed with pleadings to march peacefully and in large numbers. Some organizers favor something in between, maybe not as confrontational as the anarchists' approach but an alternative to mass marches in which large groups, typically kept behind metal barricades, hold signs and chant familiar refrains: Hey hey, ho ho (insert objectionable entity here) has got to go and the like. Some 15 organizations have applied to the Police Department for permits for large street demonstrations just before or during the convention. There is an element among protesters who feel that classical tactics are stale, said Todd Gitlin, a professor of journalism and sociology at Columbia University who was a leader of antiwar protests in the 1960's and has studied protest movements. I think it is built into the protest process that especially younger people come along and want to stake a claim to novelty. That was part of the motivation for Axis of Eve, organized by a group of young women to get disaffected voters, particularly young women, excited about politics and the possibility of defeating President Bush. We wanted to think of some unique, creative way to engage people in a different way, to reach out to people who weren't politically engaged, said Zazel Loven, 33, a founder of the group, who is known as Eve Angel. I had been to marches but I wanted to go beyond that. Street theater has long been a part of demonstrations. But along with the drumming and mask-making - and there is a group, Theater Against War, ready to help with that - some see a growing role for humorous, irreverent, thought-provoking ways to draw attention to their messages.

Several served under Republicans. By Ronald BrownsteinTimes Staff WriterJune 13, 2004WASHINGTON A group of 26 former senior diplomats and military officials, several appointed to key positions by Republican Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush, plans to issue a joint statement this week arguing that President George W. Bush has damaged America's national security and should be defeated in November.The group, which calls itself Diplomats and Military Commanders for Change, will explicitly condemn Bush's foreign policy, according to several of those who signed the document."It is clear that the statement calls for the defeat of the administration," said William C. Harrop, the ambassador to Israel under President Bush's father and one of the group's principal organizers.Those signing the document, which will be released in Washington on Wednesday, include 20 former U.S. ambassadors, appointed by presidents of both parties, to countries including Israel, the former Soviet Union and Saudi Arabia. Others are senior State Department officials from the Carter, Reagan and Clinton administrations and former military leaders, including retired Marine Gen. Joseph P. Hoar, the former commander of U.S. forces in the Middle East under President Bush's father. Hoar is a prominent critic of the war in Iraq.Some of those signing the document such as Hoar and former Air Force Chief of Staff Merrill A. McPeak have identified themselves as supporters of Sen. John F. Kerry, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee. But most have not endorsed any candidate, members of the group said. It is unusual for so many former high-level military officials and career diplomats to issue such an overtly political message during a presidential campaign.A senior official at the Bush reelection campaign said he did not wish to comment on the statement until it was released.But in the past, administration officials have rejected charges that Bush has isolated America in the world, pointing to countries contributing troops to the coalition in Iraq and the unanimous passage last week of the U.N. resolution authorizing the interim Iraqi government.One senior Republican strategist familiar with White House thinking said he did not think the group was sufficiently well-known to create significant political problems for the president. The strategist, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, also said the signatories were making an argument growing increasingly obsolete as Bush leans more on the international community for help in Iraq."Their timing is a little off, particularly in the aftermath of the most recent U.N. resolution," the strategist said. "It seems to me this is a collection of resentments that have built up, but it would have been much more powerful months ago than now when even the president's most disinterested critics would say we have taken a much more multilateral approach" in Iraq. But those signing the document say the recent signs of cooperation do not reverse a basic trend toward increasing isolation for the U.S."We just felt things were so serious, that America's leadership role in the world has been attenuated to such a terrible degree by both the style and the substance of the administration's approach," said Harrop, who served as ambassador to four African countries under Carter and Reagan."A lot of people felt the work they had done over their lifetime in trying to build a situation in which the United States was respected and could lead the rest of the world was now undermined by this administration by the arrogance, by the refusal to listen to others, the scorn for multilateral organizations," Harrop said.Jack
[CTRL] Moon Over Washington
-Caveat Lector- Moon Over Washington Why are some of the capitals most influential power players hanging out with a bizarre Korean billionaire who claims to be the Messiah? by John Gorenfeld, Contributor 6.09.04 http://gadflyer.com/articles/?ArticleID=131 Should Americans be concerned that on March 23rd a bipartisan group of Congressmen attended a coronation at which a billionaire, pro-theocracy newspaper owner was declared to be the Messiah with royal robes, a crown, the works? Or that this imperial ceremony took place not in a makeshift basement church or a backwoods campsite, but in a Senate office building? The Washington Post didn't think so. For a moment on April 4, a quote from the keynote speech was in the Web version of its Reliable Sources column. The speaker: Sun Myung Moon, 84, an ex-convict whose political activities were at the center of the 1976-8 Koreagate influence-peddling probe. That's when an investigation by Congress warned that Moon, after having befriended Richard Nixon in his darkest hour, was surrounding himself with other politicians to overcome his reputation: as the leader of the cult-like Unification Church, which recruited unwary college students, filled Madison Square Garden with couples in white robes, wed them in bulk and demanded obedience. That was before he launched the Washington Times in response to Heavens direction, as he would later say and a 20-year quest to make his enemies bow to him. He has also claimed, in newspaper ads taken out by the Unification Church, that Jesus, Confucius, and the Buddha have endorsed him. Muhammad, according to the 2002 ad, led the council in three cries of mansei, or victory. And every dead U.S. president was there, too because Moon's gospel is inseparable from visions of true-blue American power. Now, this March, Moon was telling guests at the Dirksen Senate Office Building that Hitler and Stalin, having cleaned up their acts, had, in a rare public statement from beyond the grave, called him none other than humanity's Savior, Messiah, Returning Lord and True Parent. But not long after it appeared on the Post's web site, the paper erased the quote. Columnist Richard Leiby told me via e-mail that it shouldn't have gone out in the first place. The paper replaced it with breaking news about Celebrity Jeopardy! with Tim Russert. The Return of the King So no one covered this American coronation, except Moon's own Times, which skipped the Messiah part. It wasn't in other newspapers, which only wink at the influence of Moon's far-right movement in Washington, when they cover it at all. In fact, the only place you could read about the new king, unless you bookmarked Moon's Korean-language http://www.tongil.or.krwebsite, was in the blog world. There, dozens of the most CSPAN2-hardened cynics reacted to the http://www.gorenfeld.net/blog/2004/05/im-and-i-approve-this-messiah.htmlscreenshots with a resounding http://www.google.com/search?hl=enlr=ie=UTF-8c2coff=1q=%22myung+moon%22+wtfbtnG=SearchWTF, the sound of dismay and confusion at a scene that news coverage hadn't prepared them for. The images might as well have come from Star Trek's Mirror Universe. First, we're shown a rabbi blowing a ram's horn. Most Jews would hold off on this until the High Holy Days, but it probably counts if the Moshiach shows up in a federal office building at taxpayer expense. Then we see the man of the hour, Moon, chilling at a table at the Dirksen in a tuxedo, soaking all this up. He claps. He's having a ball. Cut to the ritual. Eyes downcast, a man identified as Congressman Danny K. Davis (D-Ill.) is bringing a crown, atop a velvety purple cushion, to a figure who stands waiting austerely with his wife. Now Moon is wearing robes that Louis XIV would have appreciated. All of this has quickly been spliced into a promo reel by Moon's movement, which implies to its followers that the U.S. Congress itself has crowned the Washington Times owner. But Section 9 of the Constitution forbids giving out titles of nobility, setting a certain tone that might have made the Congressional hosts shy about celebrating the coronation on their websites. They included conservatives, the traditional fans of Moon's newspaper: Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), Rep. Curt Weldon (R-PA.), Rep. Chris Cannon (R-Utah), Rep. Roscoe Bartlett (R-Md.) and Republican strategy god Charlie Black, whose PR firm represents Ahmed Chalabis Iraqi National Congress. But there were also liberal House Democrats like Sanford Bishop (D-Ga.) and Davis. Rep. Harold Ford (D-Tenn.) later told the Memphis Flyer that he'd been erroneously listed on the program, but had never heard of the event, which was sponsored by the Washington Times Foundation. Rep. Curt Weldon's office tenaciously denied that the Congressman was there, before being provided by The Gadflyer with a http://www.iifwp.org/programs/IIPC/reports/forging_path/images/DC_20040323_05021.jpgphoto depicting Weldon at the event, found on Moon's

[CTRL] Rachel's News Fiery Hell on Earth, Part 1
-Caveat Lector- Rachel's News #792 -- Fiery Hell on Earth, Part 1, May 27, 2004 http://www.rachel.org/home_eng.htm For some time now, I have been searching for answers to a deeply perplexing question: Why is the United States promoting the spread of atomic bombs worldwide? By "atomic bombs" I mean the kind that turned Hiroshima and Nagasaki into a fiery hell in 1945 -- A-bombs made from plutonium (Nagasaki) or "enriched" uranium (Hiroshima). In this series, I will briefly examine the facts, then consider some of the possible reasons why the U.S. might favor the proliferation of atomic weapons worldwide. In at least four different ways, the U.S. is refusing to limit -- and in some cases is actively promoting -- the spread of atomic bombs around the globe.[1] (1) The U.S. is helping foreign nations acquire nuclear power plants, which everyone acknowledges have provided the basis for A-bomb programs in India, Pakistan, South Africa, North Korea and, during the 1980s, in Iraq.[2] In the hands of a willing nation, nuclear power equals nuclear weapons. (2) The U.S. is dragging its feet in achieving its stated goal of preventing theft of nuclear weapons within the former Soviet Union.[1] (3) The U.S. is failing to retrieve 35,000 pounds of weapons-grade uranium that the U.S. loaned or gave to 43 countries during the past 50 years. A crude but effective A-bomb requires 110 pounds (50 kg) of enriched uranium.[3] (4) President Bush has ordered a fundamental shift in U.S. nuclear weapons policies, initiating what the New York Times calls "the second nuclear age." These new policies entail (a) creation of a new class of smaller nuclear weapons, (b) guiding small A-bombs to their targets from outer space, (c) reducing the time it takes to launch a nuclear strike, and (d) a new policy of pre-emptive first use of nuclear weapons even against non-nuclear states. "It is precisely these kinds of provocative new weapons capabilities -- at a time when the administration seeks to prevent proliferation of weapons of mass destruction elsewhere -- that worries even hawkish Republicans," says James Sterngold of the San Francisco Chronicle.[4] Let's examine each of these four developments in more detail: I. Nuclear power = nuclear weapons The U.S. is urging -- and subsidizing -- foreign nations to build new nuclear power plants to generate electricity, while acknowledging that every nuclear power plant certainly provides the stepping stones to A-bombs. For example, when Vice-President Dick Cheney visited China in April, 2004, he was promoting the sale of Westinghouse nuclear power plants to the Chinese.[5] Current U.S. policy restricts the export of nuclear technology to China but the Bush administration is expected to lift those restrictions in September. The immediate beneficiaries will be Westinghouse and General Electric.[6] China has already announced plans to build 32 nuclear power plants, and to export the technology to other countries. For example, China has said it intends to help Pakistan build two large nuclear power plants capable of producing plutonium.[5] Within the U.S. itself, in recent months two corporate consortiums have proposed building new nuclear power plants.[7] President Bush is an enthusiastic supporter of nuclear power. But nuclear power plants always carry an unspoken danger. For nations that want to build A-bombs, nuclear power provides the basis for all that's needed in the way of technology, opportunity and know-how. No one disputes this view -- the "nuclear club" has been able to expand only because the spread of nuclear power plants has been encouraged and subsidized. Why does the U.S. continue down this path? As the New York Times wrote recently, "'If you look at every nation that's recently gone nuclear,' said Mr. [Paul] Leventhal of the Nuclear Control Institute, 'they've done it through the civilian nuclear fuel cycle: Iraq, North Korea, India, Pakistan, South Africa. And now we're worried about Iran.' The moral, he added, is that atoms for peace can be 'a shortcut to atoms for war.'"[8] The Times goes on, "Today, with what seems like relative ease, scientists can divert an ostensibly peaceful program to make not only electricity but also highly pure uranium or plutonium, both excellent bomb fuels."[8] And: "Experts now talk frankly about a subject that was once taboo: 'virtual' weapon states - Japan, Germany, Belgium, Canada, Brazil, Kazakhstan, Taiwan and a

By atomic bombs I mean the kind that turned Hiroshima and Nagasaki into a fiery hell in 1945 -- A-bombs made from plutonium (Nagasaki) or enriched uranium (Hiroshima). In this series, I will briefly examine the facts, then consider some of the possible reasons why the U.S. might favor the proliferation of atomic weapons worldwide. In at least four different ways, the U.S. is refusing to limit -- and in some cases is actively promoting -- the spread of atomic bombs around the globe.[1] (1) The U.S. is helping foreign nations acquire nuclear power plants, which everyone acknowledges have provided the basis for A-bomb programs in India, Pakistan, South Africa, North Korea and, during the 1980s, in Iraq.[2] In the hands of a willing nation, nuclear power equals nuclear weapons. (2) The U.S. is dragging its feet in achieving its stated goal of preventing theft of nuclear weapons within the former Soviet Union.[1] (3) The U.S. is failing to retrieve 35,000 pounds of weapons-grade uranium that the U.S. loaned or gave to 43 countries during the past 50 years. A crude but effective A-bomb requires 110 pounds (50 kg) of enriched uranium.[3] (4) President Bush has ordered a fundamental shift in U.S. nuclear weapons policies, initiating what the New York Times calls the second nuclear age. These new policies entail (a) creation of a new class of smaller nuclear weapons, (b) guiding small A-bombs to their targets from outer space, (c) reducing the time it takes to launch a nuclear strike, and (d) a new policy of pre-emptive first use of nuclear weapons even against non-nuclear states. It is precisely these kinds of provocative new weapons capabilities -- at a time when the administration seeks to prevent proliferation of weapons of mass destruction elsewhere -- that worries even hawkish Republicans, says James Sterngold of the San Francisco Chronicle.[4] Let's examine each of these four developments in more detail: I. Nuclear power = nuclear weapons The U.S. is urging -- and subsidizing -- foreign nations to build new nuclear power plants to generate electricity, while acknowledging that every nuclear power plant certainly provides the stepping stones to A-bombs. For example, when Vice-President Dick Cheney visited China in April, 2004, he was promoting the sale of Westinghouse nuclear power plants to the Chinese.[5] Current U.S. policy restricts the export of nuclear technology to China but the Bush administration is expected to lift those restrictions in September. The immediate beneficiaries will be Westinghouse and General Electric.[6] China has already announced plans to build 32 nuclear power plants, and to export the technology to other countries. For example, China has said it intends to help Pakistan build two large nuclear power plants capable of producing plutonium.[5] Within the U.S. itself, in recent months two corporate consortiums have proposed building new nuclear power plants.[7] President Bush is an enthusiastic supporter of nuclear power. But nuclear power plants always carry an unspoken danger. For nations that want to build A-bombs, nuclear power provides the basis for all that's needed in the way of technology, opportunity and know-how. No one disputes this view -- the nuclear club has been able to expand only because the spread of nuclear power plants has been encouraged and subsidized. Why does the U.S. continue down this path? As the New York Times wrote recently, 'If you look at every nation that's recently gone nuclear,' said Mr. [Paul] Leventhal of the Nuclear Control Institute, 'they've done it through the civilian nuclear fuel cycle: Iraq, North Korea, India, Pakistan, South Africa. And now we're worried about Iran.' The moral, he added, is that atoms for peace can be 'a shortcut to atoms for war.'[8] The Times goes on, Today, with what seems like relative ease, scientists can divert an ostensibly peaceful program to make not only

"I'm stunned," Gail Kastner, 70, said yesterday. After some reflection she added: "I'm pleased and I'm numb." The shock treatment turned the then 19 year old honours student into a woman who sucked her thumb, talked like a baby, demanded to be fed from a bottle and urinated on the floor. She was ostracised by her affluent family and ended up living in poverty. Ms. Kastner was left out of a 1994 federal compensation package for other victims of brainwashing because she was deemed to have undergone less intense treatmet that had fewer long-term effects. Now, a Federal Court judge has reversed that decision and awarded her $100,000, the same Ottawa granted a decade ago to 77 other victims of Dr. Ewen Cameron, the director of the Allan Memorial Institute in Montreal. In 2000, Ms. Kastner sued the Allan Memorial for $4.2 million, but lost. She tried to appeal, but with no success. The federal compensation doesn't nearly equal what she could have won. "It begs the question: if I'm awarded now, why was I turned down in my lawsuit?" said Ms. Kastner, who lives alone on a guaranteed income supplement of $1000 a month. 253 of Mr. Cameron's other patients also had their claims rejected. Carried out from 1950 to 1965, Mr. Cameron's now-discredited "de-patterning" program of massive electroshock therapy and drug-induced sleep was funded by the CIA and Canada's Health DepartmentIn 1953, Ms. Kastner was a 19 year old honours student from a wealthy Montreal family. Suffering from mild depression and anxiety, she was admitted to the Allan Memorial twice for short stays and given electroshock treatments - 63 in all. She was also put into comas by being injected with insulin and given different drugs to induce sleep. The goal was to "de-pattern" her brain so she could recover and lead a normal life." http://www.truthout.org/docs_04/061304A.shtml General Granted Latitude At Prison By R.

The U.S. policy, details of which have not been previously disclosed, was approved in early September, shortly after an Army general sent from Washington completed his inspection of the Abu Ghraib jail and then returned to brief Pentagon officials on his ideas for using military police there to help implement the new high-pressure methods. http://www.ccr-ny.org/v2/reports/report.asp?ObjID=TutDBqRhAYContent=387 CCR FILES LAWSUIT AGAINST PRIVATE CONTRACTORS FOR TORTURE CONSPIRACY Charges U.S. Corporations Conspired With Officials To Torture Detainees in Iraq Synopsis Two U.S. corporations conspired with U.S. officials to humiliate, torture and abuse persons detained by U.S. authorities in Iraq according to a class action lawsuit filed June 9, 2004, by the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) and the Philadelphia law firm of Montgomery, McCracken, Walker and Rhoads.

Decisions on indictments could come within weeks, according to lawyers and others close to the case. Bush's decision to seek out the counsel of lawyer James Sharp was prompted by signals that prosecutors may want to talk to him shortly-a clear sign the investigation is reaching its climax, says one lawyer. Another source says prosecutors have been returning to key witnesses to ask what were described as mop-up questions. There are no suggestions that either the president or veep are in any legal trouble. But one key figure in the probe, sources say, is Cheney's chief of staff, I. Lewis (Scooter) Libby, who took prodigious notes of White House conversations in which CIA undercover operative Valerie Plame, wife of former U.S. ambassador Joseph Wilson, may have been mentioned. The notes have served as a basis for questioning Libby and other White House aides. The White House has denied Libby leaked any classified information to columnist Robert Novak, who first revealed Plame's identity. One high-placed official says that if special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald ultimately chooses not to bring indictments, Justice officials may arrange to disclose his findings in response to an inquiry from Capitol Hill. -Michael Isikoff C 2004 Newsweek, Inc.

Friday, June 11, 2004 David Sarasohn When FBI agents went through Brandon Mayfield's possessions to investigate his connection with the Madrid train bombings, they came upon and took what they called "miscellaneous Spanish documents." The New York Times reported that Mayfield's family later identified the documents as his children's Spanish homework. Now that Mayfield, an Oregon lawyer, has been released after two weeks in federal prison as a "material witness," now that the FBI has formally apologized to him, it seems he should just drop out of sight, a footnote to the war on terror. But reporting keeps coming up with curious discoveries about weaknesses, from the beginning, in the FBI's connection of Mayfield to the case -- weaknesses that arose before Mayfield was ever arrested. The connection began March 16, when Spanish police sent U.S. officials copies of fingerprints from a bag containing detonators, found near the bombings five days before. The FBI concluded that the match with a fingerprint of Mayfield -- on file from his eight years in the military and a youthful arrest -- was "100 percent." The FBI notified the Spanish of thhe match. But by April 13, according to the Times, the Spanish told the FBI that the match was "conclusively negative." In a meeting with the FBI in Spain April 21, Spanish officials insisted that there was no match, while FBI agents insisted there was -- but never asked to see the actual bag. By then, the FBI had found that Mayfield was a Muslim convert, that he was often seen driving to the Bilal mosque in Beaverton, Ore., that he had represented, in a child custody suit, one of the Portland Seven convicted terrorists. It's understandable that these discoveries -- or the fingerprint match itself -- would set off alarms. The question is whether the discoveries about Mayfield himself beggan to overwhelm the weaknesses the Spanish kept noting in the fingerprint match. The claim of probable cause, says federal public defender Steven Wax, was based on "some sort of guilt by association with people who may have had contacts with other people the government had concerns about." And then Mayfield's possession of "miscellaneous Spanish documents." Tuesday, before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Attorney General John Ashcroft expressed regret on the arrest, explaining, "When we learned that the reservations of the Spanish were so substantial, we went to the court, asked for the release of Mr. Mayfield." But Mayfield was arrested May 6, after the Spanish had rejected the match April 13, and again April 21. He wasn't released until May 20, when the Spanish said they'd matched the fingerprint to someone else. With the fingerprint evidence abandoned -- a Scotland Yard fingerprint expert hired by the defense told the Seattle Times the claim of a match was "horrendous" -- twoo things stand out about Mayfield: One, that he was Muslim and associated with various other Muslims. Two, that considering the powers currently claimed by the federal government, he was lucky. "But for the fact that he had access to counsel and judicial review, Mr. Mayfield might still be in jail today," Sen. Russell Feingold, D-Wis., told Ashcroft in Tuesday's hearing. "Held as an enemy combatant, Mr. Mayfield would be in a military jail without the right to an attorney. And his truthful statements of innocence would be taken simply as failure of his interrogators." He might be lucky in another way. Imagine the trouble he could be in if his kids were studying French. . . . . . . . David Sarasohn is an associate editor at The Oregonian of Portland, Ore.

The choice immediately caused protests from British political opposition leaders. Scarlett was the author and stubborn defender of the now-totally-discredited and artificially sexed-up "Iraqi WMD" report issued by the Blair government in support of the US-UK war drive. Dr. David Kelley lost his life in the scandal that developed around the manipulations in this report, but the role of the government was whitewashed in the inquiry conducted by Lord Hutton of the Law Lords. This appointment means that MI-6 will lack the leadership of a competent and independent professional who might act to prevent the coming terrorism, and will instead be under the domination of a political hack of dubious judgment and loyalty. (Wire services, May 6) In addition, the US government appears top have imposed an embargo on the sharing of critical anti-terror intelligence with European authorities. Whatever the intent, the net effect of this blackout is to screen certain activities in the US from scrutiny by the allies. In an article published May 6 the German economic paper Handelsblatt reported in reference to a similar article which appeared in the Wall Street Journal, that Spanish investigators, like many of their colleagues in Europe, are find it very difficult to obtain information from US circles which are engaged in the fight against terrorism. Mentioned is the case of Spanish Judge Balthazar Garzon who reportedly was unable to proceed with certain investigations on Al Qaeda after Sept 11th, like the case of Al Qaeda member Ramzi Binalshibh, who is imprisoned in an unknown location. The problem is compounded by the fact that theanti-terrorism fight in the US is being conducted by non-public military courts and military intelligence, neither of which, as the article claims, is sharing testimony and evidence with their Europeancolleagues for further use. (Handelsblatt, May 6; Yahoo wires, May 7) Propaganda Buildup Lurid accounts of coming ABC terrorist attacks are proliferating in the US media. Whatever, the subjective intentions or motivations of the authors, these accounts objectively serve as propaganda preparation for terror attacks, specifically by introducing to the US ;public the alien notions of emergency rules, martial law, and the state of siege, all of which are favorite themes of neocon writers going back to the Nazi Carl Schmitt. A particularly fulsome example is the article by Michael Ignatieff which appeared on May 2, 2004 New York Times Magazine. Here are some excerpts: Consider the consequences of a second major attack on the mainland United States -- the detonation of a radiological or dirty bomb, perhaps, or a low-yield nuclear device or a chemical strike in a subway. Anny of these events could cause death, devastation and panic on a scale that would make 9/11 seem like a pale prelude. After such an attack, a pall of mourning, melancholy, anger and fear would hang over our public life for a generation. An attack of this sort is already in the realm of possibility. The recipes for making ultimate weapons are on the Internet, and the materiel required is available for the right price. Democracies live by free markets, but a free market in everything -- enriched uranium, ricin, anthrax -- will mean the death of democracy. Armageddon is being privatized, and unless we shuut down these markets, doomsday will be for sale.

So when Guatemala's reformist president, Jacobo Arbenz, appointed communists to several posts in 1951, the alarm bells sounded in Washington. The CIA began drawing up contingency plans, including the assassination of leftist officials and their allies. Over time, the planning was expanded, with the CIA arming and training an anti-Arbenz Liberation Army. On June 17, 1954 - 50 years ago this Thursday - about150 insurgents crossed the border into Guatemala from Honduras. Within days, CIA bombers were strafing the capital, Guatemala City, and agency propagandists were broadcasting fake reports about rebel battlefield triumphs. On June 27, the elected president fled the country, never to return. With his departure, Washington no longer had to worry that his social reform ideas could inspire a peasant rebellion in neighboring countries. U.S. officials also rejoiced in the knowledge that Moscow, at least for the time being, would not be able to add a Latin American country to the European and Asian ones already in its fold. For Guatemala, it was a prelude to a tragic civil war that was to last 30 years. An estimated 200,000 Guatemalans died, largely due to the excesses of the Guatemalan military. A postwar independent commission concluded that the military had committed acts of genocide, mostly against the country's indigenous population. The civil war began about a decade after the 1954 intervention. Picked by the CIA to lead the assault against Arbenz was a Guatemalan former colonel, Carlos Castillo Armas. Arbenz believed his army would defeat the rebels, historian Douglas Kraft wrote. That seemed the case when they attacked by land and sea, meeting strong resistance and stalling. It was then that the CIA undertook the psychological campaign. Jamming Guatemalan radio waves and broadcasting fictitious reports of an advancing rebel force, the CIA worked to unnerve the Guatemalan Army, Kraft wrote. Simultaneously, CIA bombers strafed Guatemala City streets and dropped small bombs to arouse fear among the local population. The military had effectively turned against Arbenz. His alternatives narrowed, the Guatemalan president ordered the military to arm peasant and labor organizations in a last ditch effort to stop Castillo Armas. The order represented Arbenz's fatal error, Kraft wrote. Arbenz's ouster was not entirely the work of the CIA. Much of the army had been alienated by what they considered reckless implementation of the land reform; peasant land invasions were common. Many Latin Americans were angry about the CIA intervention. Adolphe Berle, the State Department's troubleshooter for the region at the time, wrote in his diary: We eliminated a communist regime at the expense of having antagonized half the hemisphere. CIA agent David Atlee Phillips wrote that Arbenz's ouster was necessary because documents he left behind revealed a paradigm of Soviet Cold War expansionism, according to Streeter's study. Castillo Armas' presidency proved to be unpopular. He was assassinated by a member of the presidential guard in 1957. The next U.S. attempt at governmental change in Latin America failed dismally. Seven years after Guatemala, CIA-trained Cuban exiles went after Fidel Castro's government. Defeat came in less than three days. Forty-three years later, Castro and his regime survive. Yahoo!

Gail Kastner was given massive electroshock therapy to treat depression in 1953 at the Allan Memorial Institute in Montreal. She was told on Wednesday of the compensation award. She was left out of a federal compensation package in 1994 because her treatment was deemed to have been less intense than that of other victims of the experiments. Her treatment was also found to have had fewer long-term effects. A Federal Court judge reversed that ruling, and awarded her the same amount Ottawa gave to 77 others as compensation for their treatment. There were 253 claims rejected. Dr. Ewan Cameron, who was director of the Allan Memorial Institute, conducted experiments using electroshock and drug-induced sleep. The research was funded from 1950 to 1965 by the CIA and by the Canadian government. Written by CBC News Online staff Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ~-- Make a clean sweep of pop-up ads. Yahoo!

The article below is from the BBC, and dated September 23, 2001, a mere 12 days after 9/11. Its title is: "Hijack 'suspects' alive and well." There are several points to make here. Anyone with half a brain would conclude that the whole subject of the hijackers needs to be revisited. Two, how in the world did the FBI determine the NINETEEN names of the purported hijackers in so short a period of time? Three, where is the actual evidence supporting that determination? Four, are there videotapes of these men boarding the 9/11 planes? Five, the FBI has said that the hijackers boarded the planes with fake passports. How does the FBI know this? I mean, if you used a fake passport to board a plane, would the cops know it was you unless they had separate photographic evidence? Where is that evidence? Six, assuming the FBI knew the passports were fake because they knew where the people actually belonging to those fake passports were...where ARE those people? You mean, in a matter of days, the FBI tracked down those 19 (living or dead) people belonging to those fake passports? Seven, assuming the faked passports belonged to no one real in this world, the FBI figured that out in days? Eight, the FBI claims they found a couple of the hijacker passports in PRISTINE condition AFTER they had fallen out of the planes that crashed into the WTC and landed on a nearby street. Wow, what are the odds that the passports survived the fireball crashes AND THAT THEY JUST HAPPENED to belong to two of the hijackers, as opposed to normal civilians on those flights? Can you imagine evidence being presented in a courtroom where the trial (in absentia) of the 19 dead hijackers is taking place? "Sir, can you tell me how you know it was these 19 specific men who hijacked the flights?" "Uh, we have video." "Of all 19 men getting on board those planes?" "Yes." "Where is it?" "We can't show it to you." "Why not?" "Uh, national security...and because there is cheeseburger and french fry residue on the tape." "From your lab?" "Yes." "How come at least a few of those hijackers are still alive?" "Well...they parachuted out of the planes at the last second and made their way back to the Middle East." "Do you have fragments of the parachutes?" "They burned up in our lab when a worker accidentally set fire to a fifth of scotch he was drinking." Here is the BBC article: Another of the men named by the FBI as a hijacker in the suicide attacks on Washington and New York has turned up alive and well. The identities of four of the 19 suspects accused of having carried out the attacks are now in doubt. Saudi Arabian pilot Waleed Al Shehri was one of five men that the FBI said had deliberately crashed American Airlines flight 11 into the World Trade Centre on 11 September. His photograph was released [in other words, he's alive], and has since appeared in newspapers and on television around the world. (Hijacking suspects Flight 175: Marwan Al-Shehhi, Fayez Ahmed, Mohald Alshehri, Hamza Alghamdi and Ahmed Alghamdi. Flight 11: Waleed M Alshehri, Wail Alshehri, Mohamed Atta, Abdulaziz Alomari and Satam Al Suqami. Flight 77: Khalid Al-Midhar, Majed Moqed, Nawaq Alhamzi, Salem Alhamzi and Hani Hanjour. Flight 93: Ahmed Alhaznawi, Ahmed Alnami, Ziad Jarrahi and Saeed Alghamdi.) Now he [Waleed Al Shehri] is protesting his innocence from Casablanca, Morocco. He told journalists there that he had nothing to do with the attacks on New York and Washington, and had been in

(PROZZAK)This is, indeed, a kind of smoking gun. I am in touch with the NRO to tryand get clarification of who sent the agency's personnel home on 911.After the first plane struck the World Trade Center, the NRO employeeswere sent home. This raises a number of questions:1. Who ordered the staff, who monitor and operate the U.S. spy satellitenetwork, to go home? Was it the Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld or wasit the Director of Central Intelligence George Tenet? Or was it the Directorof the NRO, Mr. Hall?2. The fact that nearly the entire staff was sent home raises several morequestions: If the nation were under attack, as it was on 911, would thestaff of the NRO be sent home? What sense does that make?3. Were the satellite operators sent home to allow and conceal the factthat somebody else, perhaps a foreign power or rogue element in the U.S.,was using the satellites to monitor and conduct the attacks?This last point, in my opinion, is key to understanding what probablyhappened on 911. The nation's satellite system was used to direct the planesto their targets and to fly the Global Hawk into the Pentagon.I am convinced that a Global Hawk (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) was armed witha Hellfire missile (or similar) and flown at the Pentagon. A fraction of asecond before the large UAV hit the stone-clad wall of the Pentagon, itfired a missile which bored a hole in the building. The Global Hawkdisappeared into that hole. UAV's, which Israel and the U.S. have deployedare directed and monitored via satellite. NRO was KEY to 911.The nation's satellite system was key to this operation, which is why theNRO had a planned 911-like incident that resulted in the entire staff beingsent home IMMEDIATELY.Mr. 911's comment on this matter, that this is a normal coincidence isdisinformation and rubbish, in my opinion.

Bush 41 And The ReaganAssassination Attempt
By Michael Shore[EMAIL PROTECTED]...6-9-4
George Bush Sr., who was President Reagan's Vice President, was really the"President" during most of Reagan's term in office, especially after thefailed assassination attempt carried out by John Hinkley Jr.. What nevercame out in the corporate controlled media is that the Bush family and theHinkley family were good friends. Bush Sr. and John Hinkley Sr. were bothoil men.John Hinkley Sr.helped raise funds for Bush Sr's unsuccessfulattempt to wrest the Republican nomination for President fromReagan...pretty far out!!!
http://www.geocities.com/northstarzone/HINCKLEY.html
John Hinkley Jr. allegedly fired the shots at Reagan that almost got BushSr. into the Presidency before Bush Sr. was eventually elected President.Thebullet that entered Reagan's body came within ONE INCH of hitting Reagan'sheart. Bush Sr.was literally a heartbeat away from becoming the President ofthe USA.
On the night after the assassination attempt, Scott Hinkley, John HinkleyJr's brother was scheduled to have dinner with Neil Bush, who is VicePresident Bush Sr's son. They intelligently canceled the dinner after someof the media picked up on this story.
Would a father sacrifice his son to help achieve the Illuminati agenda? Thislooks like a good possibility in this case. Members of connected groups tothe Illuminati are out to kill millions and possibly billions of innocenthuman beings, so to sacrifice a son for the "cause" is nothing major forthese sick individuals. John Hinkley Jr.appears to be suffering from majormind control that is an Illuminati specialty.The ridiculous reason given ofwhy John Jr. did the "deed" because of his infatuation with actress JodyFoster makes no sense at all, unless this was the inside trigger used forJohn's mind to act on cue and shoot Reagan.
http://www.hereinreality.com/hinckley.html
The white wash investigation and trial of John Hinkley never asked anyquestions relating to the Bush/Hinkley family relationship Wouldn't it beinteresting to find out if Bush Sr. was involved in the Regan failedassassination attempt??? Just ask "who benefited if Reagan was successfullyassassinated?" and George Bush Sr. is at the top of the list!!!
After this event Reagan was in no condition to run the country, so he just"acted" as president, when in fact, according to many reports, Bush Sr. wasthe decision making President in the White House. So some of the informationprovided in the article titled "Planet Reagan" on Rense.com could really belooked at being about Bush Sr's relationship with Saddam Hussein and OssamaBin Laden and not Reagan's..
http://www.rense.com/general53/planet.htm
Also it was Bush Sr. who was heavily involved in the Iran Contra scandal andthe Savings and Loan scandal One of the possible main reasons Bush Sr.started the first Gulf War was to divert attention away from he and hisson's involvement in the savings and loan scandal, which was a theft of over$500,000,000,000 {five hundred billion dollars}. Only one person actuallywent to jail for this huge theft of the

Hitchens makes a point I like to make to many people with simple mindedpolitical opinions about "the need of so many American intellectuals toprove themselves clever by showing that they are smarter than the latestidiot in power..." and; 2. He identifies Reagan as "a cruel and stupid lizard." I don't know ifHitchens consciously invoked David Icke's imagery of world politicalleadership as shape-shifting reptilians, but the reference does reinforceIcke's over-arching theme that such leadership is never what it seems. _ RIP Ronald Reagan - Crying Crocodile Tears for "The Gipper" By Kenn ThomasEditor - Steamshovel Press6-12-4 I would have been more generous about Ronald Reagan. I think he was funnyand charming, only moreso because he was so disconnected from the actualparapolitical reality of his administration. One TV news feature tried tomake the point that the true Ronald Reagan was inaccessible even to his wifeNancy, that he kept some deep inner core always to himself. This was astretch, of course, to fill the 24/7 television time devoted to Reagan untilafter his state funeral. Most viewers know he was a shallow Hollywood guy aswas often parodied. Self-professed shallow, in fact, in that he trumpeted anadministrative style that supposedly provided broadstroke values whileletting bureaucrats execute the details. Americans like a good show and Reagan gave them one. He was affable andarticulate and he presented a picture of the country that it really wanted.But the October Surprise brought him to office, a deal made with AyatollahKhomeini to hold on to the famed 52 American hostages until Jimmy Carterlost the 1980 election. The pay-off for delivering that ransom-anopportunity to illegally profiteer from the super-surveillance PROMISsoftware-went to a man whose name Reagan conceivably didn't know. The sleeping-with-the-enemy pattern it established led to the Iran-Contradeals, the US/CIA build-up of Saddam Hussein and the pre-al-Qaedamujahadeen, on up to the present awful time of reckoning America nowconfronts. Reagan's motorcade delayed the arrival of the doctor when my daughter wasborn. My then wife considers it the only favor he ever did for her, sinceshe chose to have the baby using the non-interventionist Bradley method.Somehow Tim Leary got thrown in jail just before his gubernatorial campaignin California could compete with Reagan's. Leary took it as a greatopportunity for a break from public life and a chance to work on what turnedout to be his greatest writings. Governor Reagan refused to extradite Edgar Eugene Bradley from Californiawhen Jim Garrison sought to prosecute him for involvement in JFK's murder.It helped cause Garrison to lose the case against the other defendant, ClayShaw, but Garrison went on to be more-or-less vindicated in the popularculture and became a great folk hero to many people. I feel very sad for Nancy Reagan. They were a couple that lived in a littlebubble and I am sure their relationship was more real than anything theysupposedly believed in or restored to American culture, like limitedgovernment. Americans had to wait for Dubya to look at spending deficits asbig as Reagan's. And I feel very sad for Americans shedding tears now forthe Gipper, made more poignant by the contrast between the feel-good

Claims by President Bush, and embraced by many lawmakers on Capitol Hill,that the United States is winning the war on terror have been shot down bynews that the number of terrorist incidents and victims increased sharply in2003, an important fact buried in today's major newspapers. _ Terr'ism is good for the Bushites Of course, a whole lot of Americans don't read newspapers. They watch FoxNews and CNN -- and usually only while commercials are running on sit-comselsewhere. I know, this is pretty cynical. But then far too many Americansstill believe Saddam was behind 9/11 and Saddam and Osama played bingotogether in Baghdad. I get emails all the time from people who say theinvasion on Iraq was in response to terr'ism against America. And these arepeople I assume are a little bit more politically savvy than the averageperson since they are reading my articles. Point is: terr'ism is good for the Bushites. If terr'ism did not exist, mostpeople would want to get rid of this illegitimate president. The U.S. State Department announced in April that terrorism was on thedecline last year, but the agency acknowledged Thursday that the achievement-- touted by the Bush campaign and administration as a sign that the WhiteHouse policies were, in the words of Deputy Secretary of State RichardArmitage, "prevailing" over the evildoers of the world -- was wrong. Again, how many people know this information is wrong? I don't watch FoxNews or CNN, but I bet they didn't balance Bush's claim with a realitycheck. I know the corporate media didn't bother to do so on the web. The United States may have won some battles and managed to disrupt plots andglobal funding for al-Qaida with 10 leading financiers of the group capturedor killed in the last two years according to the CIA, but when the number ofattacks increases -- even if they are not in the United States -- it meansthe opposite of this claim is arguably true. Right. We're supposed to believe the CIA? They createdhttp://www.greenleft.org.au/back/2001/465/465p15.htm al-Qaeda. The original figures were challenged by Rep. Henry A. Waxman, D-Calif., whois proving to be a continuous thorn in the side of the Bush White House onseveral high-profile policy issues. For his part, Waxman has said he acceptsPowell's explanation that the mistakes were the result of changes in the waythe data were collected, despite earlier claiming that the details weremanipulated for political gain. I'm thankful Waxman is out there doing this. But he's going too soft on theBushites. Everybody should know by now that the Bushites are liars. I don'tknow why anybody believes a word they say. The White House is Spin Central,a factory cranking out lies. Waxman is correct and should not backtrack:Bush and his minions are certainly manipulating facts for "political gain."It's what they do. It's what they have always done. While the numbers are not likely to be as high as 2001, such informationshould be kept in mind in the face of prognostications from the presidentand his allies in Congress that the war on terror is being won. It would be Bush's worst nightmare if the so-called "war on terr'ism" wereto be won. Bush warned us that this "war" may last for generations. It isthe neocon intention to make sure it is never

Most of themshould be standing alongside Bush and his neocons rabble in the docket atthe Hague. How soon we forget. Clinton attacked Yugoslavia. He ordered the bombing of civilian targets --homes, roads, farms, factories, hospitals, bridges, churches, monasteries,columns of refugees, TV stations, office buildings -- and killed a "fewthousand random civilians for good measure, and thus weakening the will ofthe population to resist, so that they would submit to NATO occupation," ashttp://www.libertysoft.com/liberty/features/76steele.html David RamsaySteele summarizes. By attacking Yugoslavia Clinton and the Democratsbasically laid the groundwork for Bush and the neocons: For Clinton and theDemocrats, it is perfectly acceptable to attack other nations -- this is nota Republican proclivity -- even if they pose no threat to the United Statesor anybody else. The United Nations does not need to be consulted. Neolibs believe they possess the moral authority -- the neocon faction liketo call it "moral clarity" -- to murder anybody and everybody who standsbetween them and oil, minerals, rainforests chock full of lumber, and"natural monopolies," that is publicly owned power grids, railroads,telecoms, schools, hospitals, and even aquifers of fresh water. On thisDemocrats and Republicans are in agreement. The American people only need be lulled to sleep. Or exposed to a pantheonof spine-chilling demons.

The murder of the Jewish American Robert Jacob, who worked for the Vinnell espionage firm, a statement announcing the video on the website says. The video shows a man who seems to be a Westerner fall to the ground in front of a garage as two men holding guns run towards him. The statement is signed the voice of Jihad: al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula. US national Robert Jacobs was killed by gunmen on Tuesday in the fifth assault on Westerners in the world's leading oil exporting country in five weeks. He worked for US defence contracting firm Vinnell, a unit of Northrop Grumman Corp which trains the Saudi National Guard, an elite force protecting the pro-US monarchy. Saudi-born Osama bin Laden's al-Qaeda, blamed for the September 2001 attacks on US cities, has vowed that 2004 would be bloody and miserable for Saudi Arabia, a key US ally.

Riyadh says the militants are going for soft targets after the clampdown. - Reuters Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ~-- Yahoo!

The United States government, in conjunction with key allies, is running an invisible network of prisons and detention centres into which thousands of suspects have disappeared without trace since the war on terror began. In the past three years, thousands of alleged militants have been transferred around the world by American, Arab and Far Eastern security services, often in secret operations that by-pass extradition laws. The astonishing traffic has seen many, including British citizens, sent from the West to countries where they can be tortured to extract information. Anything learnt is passed on to the US and, in some cases, reaches British intelligence. The disclosure of the shadowy system will increase pressure on the Bush administration over its cavalier approach to human rights and will embarrass Tony Blair, a staunch ally of President George Bush. The practice of renditions - when suspects are handed directly into the custody of another state without due process - has sparked particular anger. At least 70 such transfers have occurred, according to CIA sources. Many involve men who have been freed by the courts and are thus legally innocent. Renditions are often used when American interrogators believe that harsh treatment - banned in their own country - would produce results. The Observer has obtained details of two incidents in which men have been detained by the US despite being found innocent by courts in their own country. In one, a British businessman called Wahab al-Rami, an Iraqi living in the UK and a Palestinian seeking asylum were arrested by US and local officers in Gambia in November 2002 as they stepped off a flight from London. Their seizure, which followed a tip-off from the UK security services - came just days after they had been arrested by British police on suspicion of terrorism and then freed by a British court. Two were transported from Gambia to Guantanamo Bay - where they remain today - without any legal process. In the other incident, two Turks, a Saudi, a Kenyan and a Sudanese man were arrested in Malawi in June 2003 on suspicion of funding terrorist networks. Though freed by local courts, the men were handed over to the CIA and held for several months. Campaigners say these incidents are the tip of an iceberg. Few escape the ghost network of detention facilities, which range from massive prison camps such as that at Guantanamo Bay to naval vessels in the Indian Ocean, so accounts of life inside the new gulag are rare. One of the most harrowing stories concerns a Syrian-born Canadian, Maher Arar, who was arrested by US authorities in late 2002 during a stopover in New York, on suspicion of terrorist activities. After several days of questioning, the 34-year-old IT specialist was flown to Jordan, where the CIA passed him on to local security officials. He was repeatedly assaulted in Jordan before being driven to Syria, where he was kept in solitary confinement in a 6ft by 3ft cell for several months and repeatedly beaten with cables. All charges were dropped on his release. Arar said last week that he was trying to rebuild [his] life. I never did anything to make me a suspect. I could not believe they would send me back to Syria, but they did, he said. They sent me back to be tortured. The ghost prison network stretches around the globe. The biggest American-run facilities are at the Bagram airbase, north of Kabul in Afghanistan,

Only a few of the 50 airstrikes have been described in public. All were unsuccessful, and many, including the two well-known raids on Saddam Hussein and his sons, appear to have been undercut by poor intelligence, current and former government officials said. The strikes, carried out against so-called high-value targets during a one-month period that began on March 19, 2003, used precision-guided munitions against at least 13 Iraqi leaders, including Gen. Izzat Ibrahim, Iraq's No. 2 official, the officials said. General Ibrahim is still at large, along with at least one other top official who was a target of the failed raids. That official, Maj. Gen. Rafi Abd al-Latif Tilfah, the former head of the Directorate of General Security, and General Ibrahim are playing a leadership role in the anti-American insurgency, according to a briefing document prepared last month by the Defense Intelligence Agency. The broad scope of the campaign and its failures, along with the civilian casualties, have not been acknowledged by the Bush administration. A report in December by Human Rights Watch, based on a review of four strikes, concluded that the singling out of Iraqi leadership had resulted in dozens of civilian casualties that the United States could have prevented if it had taken additional precautions. The poor record in the strikes has raised questions about the intelligence they were based on, including whether that intelligence reflected deception on the part of Iraqis, the officials said. The March 19, 2003, attempt to kill Mr. Hussein and his sons at the Dora Farms compound, south of Baghdad, remains a subject of particular contention. A Central Intelligence Agency officer reported, based primarily on information provided by satellite telephone from an Iraqi source, that Mr. Hussein was in an underground bunker at the site. That prompted President Bush to accelerate the timetable for the beginning of the war, giving the go-ahead to strikes by precision-guided bombs and cruise missiles, senior intelligence officials said. But in an interview last summer, Lt. Gen. T. Michael Moseley, of the Air Force, who directed the air campaign during the invasion, acknowledged that inspections after the war had concluded that no such bunker existed. Various internal reviews by the military and the C.I.A. have still not resolved the question of whether Mr. Hussein was at the location at all, according to senior military and intelligence officials, although the C.I.A. maintains that he was probably at Dora Farms. One possibility, a senior intelligence official and a senior military officer said, is that Mr. Hussein was above ground in one of the houses that were not destroyed in the raid. In the raid, the Air Force primarily used deep-penetrating munitions because of their ability to destroy an underground bunker. The person who was the primary source of the information about the bunker was killed in the raid, according to intelligence officials, but had described it using an Arabic word, manzul, that could have been translated either as place of refuge or as bunker. A C.I.A. officer who relayed that report from a base in northern Iraq translated the word as bunker, said a senior intelligence official, who confirmed a detailed report that first
