ALL - PICS at: http://www.madcowprod.com Abramoff Link to Boulis Murder Called Threat to Compromise Current Operations U.S. didn't need Able Danger to locate terrorist ringleader MAR 30 2006--Venice,FL. by Daniel Hopsicker On a day which saw Zacharias Moussaoui's death penalty trial go to the jury in Washington D.C., Jack Abramoff getting sentenced i n Florida, and George W Bush joining college kids on spring break in Cancun, the only bright spot all day on Wednesday was provided by a total eclipse of the Sun. Taking a tip from an old playbookrecall Al Capone ensconced at his South Florida mansion when the St. Valentines Day Massacre rocked Chicago Bush slipped out of D.C. just as his erstwhile buddy Abramoff was facing the music in a Miami Federal courthouse. For Bush it was clearly a smart move. But it also held eerie echoes of the circumstances surrounding the murder of Sun Cruz Casino gambling line czar Gus Boulis, which conveniently occurred while his chief antagonists Abramoff and Kidan were safely out of the country, and presumably innocent, by virtue of geographic distance. It was fuzzy logic, as if the Age of Specialization had never happened to humanity, and we still lived in a world where everyone grew their own food and Mob Bosss did their own hits. But be that as it mayand thank God for small favors there was Jack Abramoff, looking sheepish and properly humbled, standing before a U.S. District Court Judge being sentenced to federal prison. So thats where well begin We (hardly) ever stoop to saying 'We told you so. Over nine months ago a story in the The MadCowMorningNews revealed that disgraced Republican lobbyist Jack Abramoffs biggest legal worries concerned neither the fraudulent takeover of the SunCruz gambling ships, nor the Indian casino lollapalooza in which Casino Jack skimmed tens of millions of dollars off the take from casinos on Indian reservations across the U.S. Abramoffs big fear, we reported in a story in June of 2005 headlined Terrorists Torpedoes and Republican Muscle, centered on his potential exposure in the gangland-style assassination of Boulis, a murder which figures prominently in his rise to power. This week, with a vengeance, that prediction began to come true, when defense attorneys for reputed Gambino associates accused of the hit on Gus Boulis announced plans to subpoena both Abramoff and his former business partner Adam Kidan. They want to question the two men, court documents showed, about their purchase of SunCruz, alleged to be at the heart of the murder case. Abramoff and Kidan's testimony is critical, the lawyers alleged, in showing the bitter feelings and power struggle that followed their purchase of SunCruz from Boulis in September 2000. In plain English, they want to ask Jack Abramoff and Adam Kidan what they know personally about the subject of murder for hire. Murder for hire. Maybe its a new Neo-Con Principle. When did newspapers stop reporting what happens every day? While going to court for sentencing is probably nobody's idea of fun, Wednesday actually turned out to be an exceptionally good day for disgraced Republican lobbyist Abramoff and co-defendant Adam Kidan. It was 'high fives' all around, as U.S. District Judge Paul Huck accepted the plea of Abramoff's lawyers and gave him the shortest possible prison time. How odd that news clips weren't reflecting this fact. They made it sound, in fact, as if he'd gotten his just desserts: U.S. District Judge Paul C. Huck sentenced Jack

Thanks, Robert Sterling Editor, The Konformist http://www.konformist.com Bush Okayed Warrantless Searches - Oregon Lawyer Says His Office Was Illegally Searched Posted by Jon Ponder | Mar. 19, 2006 http://www.pensitoreview.com NSA Is Being Sued for Alleged Illegal Surveillance US News says President Bush's authorization of warrantless domestic spying went beyond wiretapping to include physical searches of businesses and residences inside the United States an apparent violation of the Fourth Amendment, which prohibits unreasonable searches and seizures by the government. Call me suspicious, but knowing the high fivin' frat boys at the White House, it's hard to imagine they haven't used this powerful tool to gather intelligence on their political enemies as well.The decision to authorize so-called black bag jobs was made by President Bush's lawyers in the months after the September 11, 2001, terror attacks at the same time the president authorized the National Security Agency (NSA) to wiretap phones of American citizens without obtaining warrants. An attorney in Oregon told the magazine that he believes someone, probably the FBI, has conducted multiple warrantless searches of his law offices and possibly his home: At least one defense attorney representing a subject of a terrorism investigation believes he was the target of warrantless clandestine searches. On Sept. 23, 2005nearly three months before the Times broke the NSA storyThomas Nelson wrote to U.S. Attorney Karin Immergut in Oregon that in the previous nine months, I and others have seen strong indications that my office and my home have been the target of clandestine searches. In an interview, Nelson said he believes that the searches resulted from the fact that FBI agents accidentally gave his client classified documents and were trying to retrieve them . Nelson's wife and son, meanwhile, repeatedly called their home security company asking why their alarm system seemed to keep malfunctioning. The company could find no fault with the system. Nelson said the classified documents appear to show that his client was the subject of warrantless eavesdropping by the NSA. He filed a lawsuit against the NSA on March 2 in Portland: [The suit alleges that] the NSA illegally wiretapped electronic communications between the chapter and Wendell Belew and Asim Ghafoor, both attorneys in Washington, D.C. The complaint, which also names President Bush as a defendant, seeks an order that would require defendants and their agents to halt an illegal and unconstitutional program of electronic surveillance of United States citizens and entities. The lawsuit was filed on behalf of the two Washington attorneys and the Al-Haramain chapter by three Portland civil rights lawyers: Steven Goldberg, Zaha Hassan and Thomas Nelson. This case will show how the illegal program was implemented and used to the injury of United States citizens and charities, Nelson said. Two unidentified officials told US News that lawyers from the White House and the Justice Department approached the FBI about conducting the physical searches, but that top officials at the Bureau appeared to have been worried the scheme: There was a fair amount of discussion at Justice on the warrantless physical search issue, says a former senior FBI official. Discussions aboutif [the searches] happenedwhere would the information go, and would it taint cases. The FBI had good cause to be worried. It has been down this road before: For the FBI, the very mention of the term black-bag jobs prompts a bad case of the heebie-jeebies. In 1975 and 1976, an investigative committee led by then Sen. Frank Church documented how the FBI engaged in broad

Steve King: Democrats Will Use Immigration to Divide and Conquer It reads like a page directly out of the Democrat's playbook on midterm elections. Let Republicans self-destruct by splitting from their base on a core issue. Senate Republicans this week will decide if the federal government will respond to 89 percent of Americans who believe illegal immigration is a serious problem. Any bill that does not refuse amnesty, and require true border and internal enforcement will collapse public confidence in the GOP Congress, and therefore be the breaking point of the Republican Party. The bill passed by the Senate Judiciary Committee rewards lawbreakers with amnesty, plain and clear. Read the full story at: http://www.humaneventsonline.com/article.php?id=13599 See also: Rep.

Smaller rallies were held in cities across the country, opposing efforts to secure the border and finally crack down on illegal entry into America by millions of unscreened foreigners. Apparently, the protests prove what a divisive issue illegal immigration is. To me, they simply prove that criminals dislike the prospect of increased law enforcement.

Dr. Curry showed that the USA's early pledge of allegiance to the flag (1892) used a straight-arm salute and it was the source of the salute of the monstrous National Socialist German Workers' Party (Nazis). The salute of German Socialists has sometimes been labeled an ancient Roman salute. Dr. Curry helped to establish that it was not an ancient Roman salute, and that the ancient Roman salute is a modern myth that grew during and after the lives of Edward Bellamy (1850-1898) and Francis Bellamy (1855-1931). http://rexcurry.net/book1a1contents-pledge.html The earliest OED reference to Roman salute is a 1959 reference to the Chambers's Encyclopedia. The OED states: Chambers's Encycl. XII. 173/2 Special forms of salute, the clenched fist salute of the Communists, the 'Roman salute' of the Fascists and the Hitler salute, have been a feature of modern political life. Chambers's Encyclopedia puts the Roman reference in quotation marks, as if to indicate that it is the so-called Roman salute and that the phrase is not historically accurate. The Chambers Encyclopedia thus supports Dr. Curry's discoveries. An earlier OED reference exists for raised-arm salute in a 1943 reference to a David Gascoyne poem. The poem states, ...the centurions wear riding-boots, Black shirts and badges and peaked caps, Greet one another with raised-arm salutes Gascoyne did not use the term Roman salute, and that may suggest that the gesture was not widely known by that name at that time. Gascoyne's poem shows how the Roman salute myth spread. Gascoyne was a surrealist and his poem mixes images from a Roman crucifixion with images under the National Socialist German Workers' Party. Gascoyne had joined the Communist Party of Great Britain in 1936 and broadcast some radio talks for the Barcelona-based propaganda ministry. However, he soon became disillusioned and left the party. Dr. Curry knows of two other uses of Roman salute that pre-date the OED reference. The earliest of the two uses is 1937, and the other is 1938, and the references are by different authors. Even the author of the Pledge of Allegiance, Francis Bellamy,

Eight-year old Rhonda, drawing pictures of her torture depicting swastikas and ceremonial daggers. Kathleen Sullivan writing in Unshackled of being shuffled between porn shoots and "secret Nazi meetings" by her father and grandfather. It's all a bit too rich for most palates, even now, when the Nazi is little more than a stock villain or comic foil. It's hard to get exercised about an enemy if you believe him buried beneath 60 years of history. We know of Paperclip and the Ghelen Org, and how Nazis came to guide US government science and intelligence (and unacknowledged yet no less real, the covert trafficking of arms and drugs), finding the patronage of their stateside fellow travellers and eugenicists. Not as well known is how many others came to follow. Between 1948 and 1952, America's Displaced Persons Commission arranged for nearly a half-million Europeans to emigrate to the United States. For two years it barred those who had been members of organizations sympathetic or collaborative to the Nazis. In 1950 that began to change, when first the "Baltic Legion" was removed from the list of "hostile" movements, though the Baltic Legion was also known as the Baltic Waffen SS. The change of policy was strategic: the CIA was subsidizing the immigration of European Nazis and fascists in order to build a far-right power bloc as a hedge against communism. Its primary vehicle became the Republican Party. In the year the Commission completed its work, the Republican National Committee formed an "Ethnic Division" to mobilize for elections, which became the permanent standing body called the Republican Heritage Groups Council in 1969. In his 1988 book Old Nazis, the New Right, and the Republican Party, Russ Bellant writes that "it eventually became clear that it wasn't an accident or a fluke that people with Nazi associations were in the Republican Heritage Groups Council. In some cases more mainstream ethnic organizations were passed over in favor of smaller but more extremists groups. [And] the Republican National Committee knows with whom they are dealing." The leaders of the Republican "heritage" groups included men like Nicholas Nazarenko, who fought as an officer in an SS Cossack unit before going to work for the US Army's Counter Intelligence Corp. The evening after a Reagan speech praising the heritage groups, Nazarenko insisted on opening for Bellant his huge suitcase of political materials, filled with German war memorabilia and literature on the "Jewish problem." He said he was still "in touch" with various "Nazi" organizations: "They respect me because I was a former German army officer. Sometimes when I meet these guys, they say 'Heil Hitler.'" Bellant again: "in a sense...the foundation of the Republican Heritage Groups Council lay in Hitler's networks into East Europe before World War II. In each of those Eastern European countries, the German SS set up or funded political action organizations that helped form SS militias during the war." The heritage groups accounted for 86,000 volunteers in the 1988 election of George HW Bush, though several of their leaders were compelled to resign from campaign positions on account of collaboration. One was Romanian priest and member of the pro-Nazi Iron Guard Florian Galdau, who boasted of having files on 15,000 Romanians he helped emigrate in the US with the aid of
