Pulitzer Prize-winning author examines how U.S. got from 9/11 to the war in Iraq Seymour Hersh Sept. 12, 2004 - It’s been three years since the Sept. 11 attacks, and Americans observed the anniversary with memorials, prayers and debate. Is the country any safer today from the threat of terrorism than it was then? Did President Bush do the right thing in launching a war against Iraq, and was it worth the price? Author Seymour Hersh doesn't think so. He believes that somewhere over the past three years the Bush administration took a very wrong turn. In his new book, "Chain of Command," he tells the story of a top secret intelligence unit that he says answers directly to the highest levels of the Pentagon and how its early successes led to shameful excesses that dealt a serious blow to America's war on terror. Read an excerpt below: In May 2004, at the height of the Abu Ghraib prison abuse scandal, a senior political Republican Party operative was given the reassuring word that Vice President Dick Cheney had taken charge, with his usual directness. The operative learned that Cheney had telephoned Donald Rumsfeld with a simple message: No resignations. We’re going to hunker down and tough it out. Cheney’s concern was not national security. This was a political call—a reminder that the White House would seize control of every crisis that could affect the re-election of George Bush. The Abu Ghraib revelations, if left unchecked, could provoke more public doubt about the wisdom of the war in Iraq, and about the sometimes brutal intelligence operations that were used to wage it. The White House and Pentagon also would have to work together to prevent Congress and the press from unraveling an incendiary secret—that undercover members of an intelligence unit that operated in secret in the name of every American had been at Abu Ghraib. The senior leadership in the White House has been aware since January of the mess at Abu Ghraib, and, more importantly, of the fact that photographs and videotapes existed, and might someday reach the public. As we have seen, the military chain of command had ignored the possibility of higherup involvement and moved quickly to prosecute the military police who had committed the acts—“the kids at the end of the food chain,” as a former senior intelligence official put it: “We’ve got some hillbilly kids out of control.” The perception persists that this was Rumsfeld’s war, and that it was his assertiveness and his toughness that sometimes led to the bombing of the wrong target or the arrest of innocents. But Cheney’s involvement in trying to conceal the import of Abu Ghraib was not unusual; it was a sign of the teamwork at the top. George Bush talked about “smoking them out of their holes” and wanting them “dead or alive,” and Rumsfeld was the one who set up the mechanism to get it done. The defense secretary would hold the difficult news conferences and take the heat in public, as he did about Abu Ghraib, but the President and Vice President had been in it, and with him, all the way. Rumsfeld handled the dirty work and kept the secrets, but he and the two White House leaders were a team. There is so much about this presidency that we don’t know, and may never learn. Some of the most important questions are not even being asked. How did they do it? How did eight or nine neoconservatives who believed that a war in Iraq was the answer to international terrorism get their way? How did they redirect the government and rearrange long-standing American priorities and policies with so much ease? How did they overcome the bureaucracy, intimidate the press, mislead the Congress, and dominate the military? Is our democracy that fragile? I have tried, in this book, to describe some of the mechanism

[CTRL] Priests charged with child abuse being sheltered in Rome, ritual abuse
-Caveat Lector- scroll for articles Priests charged with child abuse being sheltered in Rome 9/13/04 "SOME Roman Catholic religious orders have been sheltering priests in Rome despite claims that the men sexually abused children, it was reported yesterday. Of the seven accused priests located by the Dallas Morning News, one has been indicted in Arizona, but refuses to return to face the charges. Two others had admitted to abuse years ago, but now face additional claims." "The newspaper identified the men as part of an investigation that found more than 200 priests accused of abuse have been moved from country to country. Nearly half of the cases involved priests who tried to elude law enforcement, the newspaper said." http://news.scotsman.com/international.cfm?id=1072822004 This page describes crimes - The purpose of ritual elements of the abuse seems threefold: 1.) rituals in some groups are part of a shared belief or worship system. 2.) rituals are used to intimidate victims into silence. 3.) ritual elements (devil worship, animal or human sacrifice) seem so unbelievable to those unfamiliar with these crimes that these elements detract from the credibility of the victims and make prosecution of the crimes very difficult." http://everything2.com/index.pl?node=ritual%20abuse www.ctrl.org DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.

-Caveat Lector- In a message dated 9/13/04 7:56:40 AM, : Another dynamic presenter was Dave Von Kleist who showed a portion of his film "9/11 in Plane Site." Through the use of actual television news footage and eye witness testimony, Mr. Von Kleist presented a most compelling argument disputing the official story on many fronts. Why is there no wreckage or crater from Flight 77 on the lawn of the Pentagon and how does a plane 125 ft wide and 155 ft. long fit into a hole which is only 16 ft across. Von Kleist's footage showed a "pod" attached to the bottom of "Flight 175" and questioned the reason for its presence. Why did an eye witness report seeing no windows on Flight 175 a commercial United Airlines jetliner? Why were there dozens of reports of bombs and explosions going off around the World Trade Center before any buildings collapsed? These are just a few of the myriad questions asked in Mr. Von Kleists remarkable documentary, a film that should replace Michael Moore's meager attempt. ctrl To subscribe to Conspiracy Theory Research List[CTRL] send email: SUBSCRIBE CTRL [to:] [EMAIL PROTECTED] To UNsubscribe to Conspiracy Theory Research List[CTRL] send email: SIGNOFF CTRL [to:] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Om 2">--- Begin Message --- -Caveat Lector- www.ctrl.org DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.

It was called Confronting the Evidence: 911 and the Search for Truth. My friends and I arrived at the Manhattan Center at 7:00, a full hour before the program. The streets were already full. The Manhattan Center must hold 1000 people and yet there were additional hundreds outside hoping for cancellations. This was a very good sign. Recently a Zogby poll stated that over 40% of New Yorkers do not believe the official story of the events that transpired on September 11, 2001. Several people believe that the 9/11 Commission should have been re-titled the 9/11 Omission as it was nothing more than a whitewash.The evening was hosted by Ed Begley Jr and co-hosted by Jamey Hecht.The presenters included such notables as Jenna Orkin, World Trade Center Environmental Organization, Kristina Borjesson, author of Into the Buzzsaw, Dr. Robert Bowman, USAF Colonel (retired) president, Institute for Space and Security Studies, Paul Thompson, author of The Terror Timeline, Christopher Scheer, journalist, Los Angeles Times, John Prados, journalist, Bulletin of Atomic Scientists, Karl Schwarz, chief executive of Global Axxess, Jeff King, M.S, physician and engineer, Webster Tarpley author of The Unauthorized Biography of George Bush (Sr.) , Christopher Bollyn, The American Free Press, Tom Gordon, 9/11 Science and Justice Alliance, David Von Kleist, host of The Power Hour and director of the film "911 In Plane Site" and Barrie Zwicker, filmmaker, "The Great Conspiracy" The evening began with a brief but heart wrenching film called A Tribute to the Fallen by Mike Berger.Next, Jenna Orkin, for the World Trade Center Environmental Organization, talked about the cover-up of the air poisoning at Ground Zero.the asbestos, mercury and lead that had been rele ased into the air. The EPA lied to the American people and told them that the air was safe to breathe, even allowing the White House to edit their press releases. And since then, over half of our heroes have begun manifesting respiratory problems. There are firefighters who can no longer work and, as a preview of what's in store for us, 14 rescue dogs have died.The Bush administration was more concerned with opening Wall Street then with the safety of the first responders and the American People.A segment from

Re: [CTRL] Authenticity backed on Bush documents
-Caveat Lector- Sorry, but the odds are at least 95 percent these docs are phony. Here's why: In 1977 and 1978 I had the privilege of typing many U.S. Army documents on the typewriters used at the time. For the past 25 years I have formed a very intimate relationship with the history, use and format of fonts. Most people go blank when I try to explain exactly how they are designed and spaced. There is little chance proportional fonts were used. Superscript may have been possible on IBM Selectric, but my unit (infantry headquarters company) did not have them. Second, even at my level, if my CO had seen terms like "sugar-coat" or "CYA" in ANY written record, his response would have been "shitcan this and do it right." With a few more 4-letter words thrown in for emphasis. Even the greenest, dumbest Lts. I knew would have known better than to use such terminology. Those terms may be commonly used verbally but NEVER for a written public record. That would be pure stupidity. Authenticity backed on Bush documents By Francie Latour and Michael Rezendes, Globe Staff September 11, 2004 After CBS News on Wednesday trumpeted newly discovered documents that referred to a 1973 effort to ''sugar coat" President Bush's service record in the Texas Air National Guard, the network almost immediately faced charges that the documents were forgeries, with typography that was not available on typewriters used at that time. www.ctrl.org DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.

The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which owns the World Trade Centre site and lost 84 employees, joined a lawsuit filed by Cantor Fitzgerald, an investment firm, which lost more than 650 workers in the attacks. The lawsuit accused the Saudi Government of participating directly or indirectly in al-Qaeda activities, through charities and relief groups with ties to the terrorist network. "We have a responsibility to the millions of people who live and work in the region, as well as to our bondholders, to pursue every legal avenue to recover the losses we sustained on September 11," the Port Authority said in a statement. Any legal action had to be launched within three years of the attack and it was filed in Manhattan's US District Court on the eve of a Ground Zero ceremony that began with a moment of silence at 8.46am local time - 10.46 last night (AEST) - the precise time the hijacked American Airlines Flight 11 slammed into the north tower. As is now tradition, about 200 bereaved parents and grandparents read the names of the 2749 people murdered here by al-Qaeda terrorists. The ceremony paused three more times - at 9.03am, when United Airlines Flight 175 hit the south tower, and 9.59am and 10.29am, when the towers collapsed. At dusk, the twin beams of blue light shot into the sky as a tribute to those lost and a symbol of defiance. Among those reading names was Sydney couple Jack and Rae Tompsett, whose son Stephen, 39, died in the north Tower. "And our son, Stephen Kevin Tompsett," they concluded, after reading the names of two dozen other victims. Stephen's wife, Dorry, and daughter Emily joined grieving relatives on a ramp down to Ground Zero, now a construction site, to lay flowers. In Washington DC, President George W.Bush attended church while Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld laid a wreath at Arlington National Cemetery. On Friday, Mr Rumsfeld urged Americans to remain steadfast, warning it would be a long, Cold War-like struggle against Muslim extremists. He said people should expect to live in a world of violence, made more dangerous by the availability of lethal weapons. "This is more like the Cold War," he told the National Press Club. "This is something that's going to take time. It's going to take perseverance. People are going to have to be steadfast." The Sunday Telegraph Yahoo!

According to The AP, rocket and mortar fire erupted about 5:30 a.m. and continued into the morning. Several rounds hit the Green Zone. U.S. soldiers took positions behind walls and trees along Haifa Street. AFP, quoting U.S. sources, said the fighting erupted after a car bomb exploded on Haifa street. An American Bradley fighting vehicle caught fire and Iraqi children climbed on top, cheering and dancing beside the flames after the Americans left. A military spokesman said the Bradley was apparently hit by a roadside bomb. Four troops were slightly wounded, he conveyed. Shortly later, two US helicopters launched missiles and heavy machine-gun fire at the celebrating crowd. The US strike left at least five corpses scattered on the ground and 45 injured, according to AFP. The Iraqi health ministry confirmed the death toll and said another 45 people were wounded in the fighting between the Americans and Iraqi resistance fighters. One of those killed in the Baghdad violence was a Palestinian who worked as a producer for Dubai-based Arabic channel Arabiya and for Saudi channel Ikhbariya, Arabiya and friends said. Witnesses said the young man was shot by U.S. helicopter fire as his crew filmed. Also in the Iraqi capital, an Iraqi police colonel from the interior ministry died in a car bombing on his way to work in the western Baghdad neighborhood of Amariya, a ministry spokesman told AFP. Another policeman and a 12-year-old boy were also killed in the blast. Also in western Baghdad, gunmen attacked a police patrol, killing one policeman, the Interior Ministry said. A second car bomb went off outside Abu Ghraib prison west of Baghdad, injuring at least three people, Reuters reported. Officials said the two attacks may have been suicide bombing attacks. The early-morning explosions followed a late-night barrage that rattled the capital. Three or four projectiles slammed into apartment buildings across the street from the Palestine and Sheraton hotels, where many international journalists are based. Col. Adnan Abdul-Rahman, an Interior Ministry official, said there were no reports of casualties. Meanwhile, an audiotape purportedly by leading al Qaeda activist in Iraq Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, boasted that Jihad warriors have humiliated the U.S.-led occupation in Iraq. In Saturday's audiotape, the speaker noted recent battles between American forces and militiamen in the holy city of Najaf. "The holy warriors made the international coalition taste humiliation ... lessons from which they still are burning," the speaker said. (Albawaba.com) Yahoo!

Litvinenko) ChechenpressA. Litvinenko: "The personalities of the terrorists prove 100% theparticipation of the FSB in the seizure of the school in Beslan"In connection with the extremely intricate and incomprehensiblesituation with the personalities of the people who participated in thehostage-taking in Beslan, the correspondent of the "Chechenpress" agencyturned to a specialist for an explanation. The questions are answered byformer Lieutenant Colonel of the FSB, Aleksandr Litvinenko.Question: Aleksandr, could you please explain to our readers how itcould happen that the persons who seized the hostages had previouslybeen in the hands of the FSB, and how all of them managed to be freedsimultaneously and to organize and conduct such an action?Answer: According to the internal orders which regulate the operationalsecret service activity of the organs of the FSB of the RussianFederation, for persons who have been arrested on suspicion of theirparticipation in illegal armed units, organized criminal associationswhich repeatedly used dangerous forms of violence and terrorism, a fileof operative work progress is opened (a so-called file of operationalcontrol or development, and if more than two people are suspected ofcriminal activity, a file is opened for the group). During the work onthe mentioned case, measures are taken for the operational tracking ofthe criminal cases, and secret measures are taken with regard to theprisoners. I.e., they are being followed, and in this connection theyare constantly under the control of the special services.If the persons involved in these cases are sentenced, the cases aretransferred to be dealt with by the subdivisions of the FSB in whosearea the object is serving his sentence in the form of prison. Theoperational files are continued during his stay in the prison colony,and after he has finished the prison period and is released, they aresent to the FSB organs at his place of residence. When the object isreleased and reliable, and checked information has been acquired that hehas completely stopped carrying out criminal activity, the operationalfile is reassessed into a file of operational observation, and continuedfor about five years, as a rule.If the criminal case is abandoned because there is no criminal issue, orit cannot be proved, as well as on other rehabilitation grounds (thoughthis is extremely rare), the operative subdivision, as a rule, continuesfor some time with the control or observation of the object while he isfree, and it isn't stopped until confirmation is obtained that he hascompletely ended his criminal activity.Additionally, there are frequent cases when people who are arrested forinsignificant crimes are controlled or dealt with like persons suspectedof more grave crimes. The operational measures of the FSB with respectto the objects are stopped in the following cases: no confirmation thatthe person has been engaged in criminal activity; the person foregoescriminal activity; death; reaching the age of 70 for men and 65 forwomen, and also in connection with their recruiting into the secretservice apparatus of the RF FSB (then agency files are opened on them).If we examine the case of those who have been tracked down in thehostage-taking in Beslan town, and the fact that they proved to havebeen free after their arrest by FSB organs and that they committed thehostage-taking after that, then I am absolutely sure that they couldn'thave left their prisons under any circumstances, without having comeinto the view of the FSB. Especially if we consider the fact that theywere categorized in their criminal cases as act

North, a former Marine colonel who also served in the National Security Council during Ronald Reagan's administration, was the featured speaker at "Faith & Freedom: Celebrating America's freedom with a message of hope." The event raised funds for My Father's House Living and Learning Center. Robin O'Shaughnessy / A-J Photo Oliver North speaks Sunday at a Faith & Freedom rally at Lubbock Municipal Auditorium. Proceeds from the event benefit My Father's House Living and Learning Center. Currently, North hosts Fox News Channel's "War Stories." North began his message by drawing parallels between the bombing of Pearl Harbor in 1941 and the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. "We saw the nation rallying together to fight a desperate enemy" in which victory was crucial for the United States' future, he said. "But unlike the war that my dad fought in, America has not pulled together like they did then." North questioned those who criticize the length of time ongoing Operation Iraqi Freedom has taken, wondering what would have happened if dissenters called for Dwight Eisenhower's resignation during World War II because the war took too long to win. North also sought to dispel notions that the U.S. military is filled with soldiers who could not do anything better with their lives. North said he has spent extensive time with soldiers in Iraq gathering information for his TV show and said "they are truly a remarkable group of young Americans." "I hate war, but I love warriors," he said. North shared a piece of wisdom a Marine gave him after witnessing the combat death of his gunnery sergeant, who North saw pray with his troops the day before. "My gunny was a hero, not for the way he died, but for the way he lived,' " North quoted the Marine as saying. Oliver North Served 22 years as a U.S. Marine, receiving the Silver Star, Bronze Star and two Purple Hearts. Speaker and author. His books, including two novels, were international bestsellers. Host of "War Stories" on Fox News Channel. Founder of Freedom Alliance, a foundation that provides scholarships for the sons and daughters of service members killed in action. Served in National Security Council Staff in the Reagan administration and was a central figure in the Iran-Contra scandal. "That's what makes us so different from the other side," North said. He said the Bible shares words of love, while terrorists quote words of hatred. "It's not about how to die; it's about how to live," he said. "Because in (the Bible), all the dying took place 2000 years ago on a hill called Calvary." North said the troops he has encountered in Iraq steadfastly turn to the Bible in the face of daily perils. "Stand by, because the warriors are coming home, and they're not afraid to say that that's their savior," North said, referring to Jesus. North also showed uncensored footage his cameraman took of the 2nd Battalion, 4th Marines in combat Aug. 21 to show the audience the Marines' courage as they carried out their mission with precision. In addition, he showed slides of soldiers in everyday contact with the Iraqis, extolling the troops' compassion. Brad Jurkovich, former senior pastor at Southcrest Baptist Church, was instrumental in bringing North to speak at the event. "What I heard from this man was a message of hope," he told the audience before North took the stage, "and I thank God for a champion who can communicate that message."

[CTRL] [3] WIZARD OF OZ and the ILLUMINATI MIND CONTROL
-Caveat Lector- http://www.apfn.org/apfn/oz.htm - ALICE IN WONDERLAND Alice Through the Looking Glass âI canât believe that!â said Alice. âCanât you?â the Queen said in a pitying tone. âTry again: draw a long breath, and shut your eyes.â Alice laughed. âThereâs no use trying,â she said. âOne canât believe impossible things.â âI dare say you havenât had much practice,â said the Queen. âWhen I was your age, I always did it for half an hour a day. Why, sometimes Iâve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.â The chapter âWhich Dreamed Itâ in Alice Through the Looking Glass has sexual programming, the Red Queen is purring. The story where Walruses make believe it is oysters is used for programming. Other sexual programming occurs in the chapter âItâs my own inventionâ where the Knight In Crimson (& White) Armor are prisoners which dual for her. Tweedle Dee & Tweedle Dum is used for S&M programming, which has a hand signal involving rotating the thumbs of a clasp hand. Alters go through the looking glass, and fall down an oak tree by falling into a deeper and deeper trance. Monarch programming is a reflection of how Satanâs mind works. Lewis Carrollâs bQok with its inversion themes fits in with this type of thinking. Lewis Carroll loved the humor of logical contradictions. In the book, Alice wonders if cats eat bats or bats eat cats, and she is told that to say what she means is not the same as meaning what she says. When she eats the left side of the mushroom, she grows large; the right side has the reverse effect. These changes in size are in themselves reversals. A large girl and small puppy end up to be a large puppy and a small girl. In Sylvia and Bruno, we are presented with an antigravity wool that can be placed into a parcel to make it weigh less than nothing, a watch that reverses time, a black light, and a projective plane with outside inside and inside outside. The slave learns that E-V-I-L is simply L-I-V-E backwards. In the looking glass world, the Red Queen knows of a hill so large that compared to it the hill in question is a valley. Also she knows of dry biscuits which quench thirst, a messenger who whispers by shouting, and Alice who runs as fast as she can to stay in one place. (Sometimes it seems we really do have to run fast to stay in place.) The King of Hearts thinks its not unusual to write letters to nobody, and the White King compliments Alice on having keen enough eyesight to see nobody at a great distance down the road. Can you see why this book was so good to program us? In the book Through the Looking Glass all asymmetrical objects (that means all objects which canât be superimposed on their mirrored image) âgo the other way.â There are left-right reversals. Tweedledee and Tweedledum are mirror image twins. The White Knight sings about squeezing his right foot into a left shoe, and there are several mentions of corkscrews. A Helix (a corkscrew) is an asymmetric structure with distinct left and right forms. The bookâs type of thinking was extended beyond asymmetrical objects to asymmetrical relations of all types. For example, Alice walks backward, in the railway carriage the guard tells her she is traveling the wrong way. The king has two messengers, âone to come and one to go.â The White Queen explains the advantages of living backward in time, the looking glass cake is handed around first, then sliced. Odd and even numbers, which are equivalent to left and right or on and off are worked into the story at several points. For instance, the White Queen requests jam every other day. Going through the looking glass takes us to a world where the ordinary world is turned upside down and backward. Things go every which way except the way they are supposed to go. Anti-matter is a mirror image. Anti-matter milk will explode Alice, but an Anti-matter Alice on the other side of the looking glass can drink the anti-matter milk. In Chapter 11 Alice captures the Red Queen. It results in a legitimate checkmate of the Red King, who has slept through the entire live size chess game without moving. The checkmate ends the dream, but leaves open in the story the question of whether the dream was Aliceâs or the Red Kingâs. The programming has so often been only a dream to us. The outside world was so often just an unreal dream to us. What was real and what was not real? The real world (for other people) was full of contradictions, and the unreal world (our internal world) was consistent. Everything was upside down, forwards and backwards. In the Looking Glass book, one shuttles back and forth mysteriously between real and dream worlds. âSo, either Iâve been dreaming about life or I only dream that life is but a dream.ââ As a slave breaks away from the programming, life becomes a bewildering confusion as the slave is pulled between two worlds. The internal world has everything the alter needs, the external world is a harsh cold reality that doesnât have much to offer. People

Although the patent award has raised the ire of some in the open source browser community, the implications for the widely used technique are unclear. The patent (number 6,785,865) is officially titled "Discoverability and navigation of hyperlinks via tabs." Microsoft filed for the patent in March of 1997. It covers the process of shifting between links on a Web page using the computer's tab button. According to the U.S. Patent office, a "user may discover and navigate among hyperlinks through the use of a keyboard. For example, a user may press a tab key to discover and navigate to a first hyperlink that is part of a hypertext document." The abstract also said a user may also tab to a link that is actually a placeholder for an image "in order to make a decision whether the image should be downloaded or not." Virtually all modern Web browsers, including Microsoft's own Internet Explorer and alternative browsers like KDE's Konqueror, Apple's Safari, Netscape, Mozilla Firefox, Opera and the console browser Lynx, allow for tabbing between links on a page. Patent attorney Dan Ravicher, founder and executive director of the PublicPatent Foundation (a New York-based non-profit dedicated to busting overly broad patents), said his first question would be whether the patent is valid. "Just because the patent office granted the patent doesn't mean it's valid," he said. "There are lots of reasons why a patent can be invalid, some of them are prior art. Some of them are other issues. The process of actually getting the patent into court is actually really hard. Only about 1 percent of patents end up in court," said Ravicher, who also authored an Open Source Risk Management (OSRM) report last month that found Linux to have 283 non-court validated patent infringements. Ravicher said the only way to prove the validity of a patent is to test it in court, which can be a difficult task. "Only the patent owner can sue you as a way to get the patent in court. There is an exception that says if the patent owner has threatened to sue you, you can take that to court, but if the patent owner doesn't threaten to sue you, you can't get the patent into court," said Ravicher, who is also senior counsel to the Free Software Foundation. In response to a query from internetnews.com about how it planned to handle the patent, Microsoft said: "We respond to inquiries about our portfolio and typically have private collaborative discussions with companies about using our technology. Consistent with practice throughout our industry, we don't believe it's constructive to identify specific products and start labelling them as infringing or non-infringing." One of the many open source browser projects that has tabbing between links is KDE's Konqueror browser, which is also the basis of Apple's Safari br

The reportaccuses the Venezuelan government of allowing women and children to betrafficked within the country and abroad to Spain and Guyana.Countries such as Sudan, Cuba and North Korea, whose governments the U.S.opposes, are also accused of not combating human trafficking, and thussubject to sanctions.The U.S. sanctions would consist on voting against the approval of loansrequested by Venezuela. Minister Izarra believes the White House may blockloans requested by Venezuela to the Inter American Development Bank aimed atcombating poverty, totaling $250 million. "We don’t believe the U.S. voteagainst it will be enough to block Venezuela from having access to thoseloans," he said.Izarra said that the trafficking of women and children is not only aVenezuelan problem, but also of concern to countries such as Colombia, Peruand Brazil. "Venezuela’s Ministry of the Interior is taking measures toaddress this problem, and will announce the details soon," he said.The minister criticized the U.S. sanctions. "The United States governmentmaintains a double discourse in its relations with Venezuela... they willcontinue financing programs they describe as 'monitoring of elections' and'support for political parties' as part of their effort to promote democracyaround the world," Izarra said. "We know what those funds are really beingused for," Izarra said.Izarra criticized the U.S. financing of political groups which oppose thegovernment of Venezuela, and some of whose directors participated in thecoup d' etat of April 2002 against President Hugo Chavez. According todocuments obtained through the U.S. Freedom of Information Act published inwww.VenezuelaFOIA.info, U.S. government-financed institutions such as theNational Endowment for Democracy and USAID have given up to 10 milliondollars for the last four years to Venezuelan opposition political groupssuch as Sumate, which organized a recall referendum against Chavez.The minister highlighted President Chavez's recent positive statementstowards the U.S. aimed at "fomenting dialogue between Caracas andWashington." He said the U.S. sanctions will not help improve relationsbetween the two countries. Due to its relations with Cuba's Fidel Castro andhis radical speeches, the U.S. government openly dislikes the VenezuelanPresident. The U.S. has been accused by Venezuela of supporting the April2002 coup d'etat against Chavez, and of providing monetary support forpolitical groups organizing a recall referendum which Chavez ended upwinning last August.U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell said recently that it remains to beseen whether U.S.-Venezuela relations can improve after several years oftensions since Chavez was elected in 2000. "We have concerns about some ofthe actions that President Chavez has taken over the years in pursuit of hisvision of Bolivarian democracy," Powell

Gun Owners are no stranger to it. Sincerely, Gun Owners Alliance Chris W. Stark - Director * [EMAIL PROTECTED] == Source: Chicago Sun-Times http://www.suntimes.com/ CBS falls for Kerry campaign's fake memo http://www.suntimes.com/output/steyn/cst-edt-steyn12.html September 12, 2004 BY MARK STEYN SUN-TIMES COLUMNIST A few weeks ago, Thomas Oliphant of the Boston Globe was on PBS' ''Newshour'' explaining why the hundreds of swift boat veterans' allegations against John Kerry's conduct in Vietnam was unworthy of his attention. "The standard of clear and convincing evidence," he said, talking to Swiftvet John O'Neill as if he were a backward fourth-grader, ''is what keeps this story in the tabloids -- because it does not meet basic standards.'' Last week, we got a good idea of what Thomas Oliphant's ''basic standards'' are. Dan Rather and the elderly gentlemen at ''60 Minutes'' were all atwitter because they'd come into possession of some hitherto undiscovered memos relating to whether George W. Bush failed to show up for his physical in the War of 1812. The media had been flogging this dead horse all spring, but these newly ''discovered'' memos had jump-started the old nag just enough to get him on his knees long enough for the media to flog him all over again. Unfortunately for CBS, Dan Rather's hairdresser sucks up so much of the budget that there was nothing left for any fact-checking, so the ''60 Minutes'' crew rushed on air with a damning National Guard memo conveniently called ''CYA'' that Bush's commanding officer had written to himself 32 years ago. ''This was too hot not to push,'' one producer told the American Spectator. Hundreds of living Swiftvets who've signed affidavits and are prepared to testify on camera -- that's way too cold to push; we'd want to fact-check that one thoroughly, till, say, midway through John Kerry's second term. But a handful of memos by one dead guy slipped to us by a Kerry campaign operative -- that meets ''basic standards'' and we gotta get it out there right away. The only problem was the memo. Amazingly, this guy at the Air National Guard base, Lt. Col. Killian, had the only typewriter in Texas in 1973 using a prototype version of the default letter writing program of Microsoft Word, complete with the tiny little superscript thingy that automatically changes July 4th to July 4th. To do that on most 1973 typewriters, you had to unscrew the keys, grab a hammer and give them a couple of thwacks to make the ''t'' and ''h'' squish up all tiny, and even think it looked a bit wonky. You'd think having such a unique typewriter Killian would have used a less easily traceable model for his devastating ''CYA'' memo. Also, he might have chosen a font other than Times New Roman, designed for the Times of London in the 1930s and not licensed to Microsoft by Rupert Murdoch (the Times' owner) until the 1980s. Killian is no longer around to confirm his extraordinary Magic Typewriter, but his son denied the stuff was written by his dad, and his widow said her late husband never typed. So, on the one hand, we have hundreds of living veterans with chapter and verse on Kerry's fantasy Christmas in Cambodia, and, on the other hand, we have a guy who's been dead 20 years but is still capable of operating Windows XP. It took the savvy chappies at the Powerline Web site and Charles Johnson of ''Little Green Footballs'' about 20 minutes to spot the eerily 2004 look of the 1972 memo, and various Internet wallahs spent the rest of the day tracking down the country's leading typewriter identification experts. Bombarded with accusations that CBS had fallen for an obvious hoax, Dan turned to his trusty Smith-Corona and bashed out a few e-mails: ''For the umpteenth time,'' he said angrily, ''this is the kind of sleaze I had to put up with when they scoffed at 'What's the frequency, Kenneth?' " Are Dan Rather and ''60 Minutes'' a bunch of patsies suckered by the Kerry campaign? Not exactly. According to the American Spectator, ''The CBS producer said that some alarm bells went off last week when the signatures and initials of Killian on the documents in hand did not match up with other documents available on the public record, but producers chose to move ahead with the story.''

[CTRL] Massive Absentee Voter Fraud Threatens Election
-Caveat Lector- NY TIMES September 13, 2004 FRAUD Absentee Votes Worry Officials as Nov. 2 Nears By MICHAEL MOSS As both major political parties intensify their efforts to promote absentee balloting as a way to lock up votes in the presidential race, election officials say they are struggling to cope with coercive tactics and fraudulent vote-gathering involving absentee ballots that have undermined local races across the country. Some of those officials say they are worried that the brashness of the schemes and the extent to which critical swing states have allowed party operatives to involve themselves in absentee voting - from handling ballot applications to helping voters fill out their ballots - could taint the general election in November. In the four years since the last presidential election, prosecutors have brought criminal cases in at least 15 states for fraud in absentee voting. One case resulted in the conviction of a voting-rights activist this year for forging absentee ballots in a Wisconsin county race. In another case, a Republican election worker in Ohio was charged with switching the votes of nursing-home residents in the 2000 presidential race. And last year in Michigan, three city council members pleaded guilty in a vote-tampering case that included forged signatures and ballots altered by white-out. The increasing popularity of absentee voting is reshaping how and when the country votes. Since the last presidential election, a growing number of election officials and party operatives have been promoting absentee balloting as a way to make it easier for people to vote and alleviate the crush of Election Day. At least 26 states now let residents cast absentee ballots without needing the traditional excuse of not being able to make it to polling places. That is six more states than allowed the practice in 2000. As a result, as many as one in four Americans are expected to vote by absentee ballot in the presidential race, a process that begins today, nearly two months before Election Day, as North Carolina becomes the first state to distribute ballots. But some experts say that concerns about a repeat in problems with voting machines is overshadowing the more pressing issue of absentee ballot fraud. "Everybody was worried about the chads in the 2000 election,'' said Damon H. Slone, a former West Virginia election fraud investigator, "when in fact by loosening up the restrictions on absentee voting they have opened up more chances for fraud to be done than what legitimate mistakes were made in Florida." Yet many states - including battlegrounds in the presidential campaign - have abandoned or declined to adopt the safeguards on absentee voting that election officials have warned they will need to prevent rigged elections, an examination by The New York Times has found. Only 6 of the 19 states where polls have shown that voters are almost evenly divided between President Bush and Senator John Kerry still require witness signatures to help authenticate absentee ballots. Fourteen of the 19 states allow political parties to collect absentee voting applications, and 7 let the parties collect completed ballots, raising the possibility that operatives could gather and then alter or discard ballots from an opponent's stronghold. Most of the swing states even let party operatives help voters fill out their absentee ballots when the voters ask for help. And political parties are taking advantage of vague or nonexistent state rules to influence people who vote at home. In Arizona this month, a county judge ruled that a campaign consultant had improperly held on to more than 14,000 absentee ballot applications he collected this summer to help nearly a dozen Republican candidates in the primary. But holding on to such applications for at least a few days is now common practice by both major parties in states like Arizona, which require only that they be turned in within a "reasonable" period of time. This allows campaigns to bombard voters with mailings and house calls just as their ballots arrive. Some operatives boast that this absentee electioneering lets them avoid the century-old anti-fraud rules that force them to stay out of polling places. But while acknowledging the value of legitimate get-out-the-vote campaigns, election officials say absentee voting is inherently more prone to fraud than voting in person since it has no direct oversight. "Loosening the absentee balloting process, while maybe well intentioned, has some serious consequences for both local races and the general election," says Todd Rokita, secretary of state in Indiana, where fraud investigations are under way in at least five communities. The more blatant cases of criminal misconduct have prompted some state officials to seek new legal powers in fighting fraud, including making it a crime to lie about not being able to vote in person in those states that require an excuse. A Matter for the States The Justice Dep
