Supermodel joins hedge fund managers in dumping dollars

By Bo Nielsen and Adriana Brasileiro
Bloomberg News Service
Monday, November 5, 2007

http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087sid=aCs.keWwNdiYrefer=home

Gisele Bundchen wants to remain the world's richest model and is insisting that 
she be paid in almost any currency but the U.S. dollar. 

Like billionaire investors Warren Buffett and Bill Gross, the Brazilian 
supermodel, who Forbes magazine says earns more than anyone in her industry, is 
at the top of a growing list of rich people who have concluded that the 
currency can only depreciate because Americans, led by President George W. 
Bush, are living beyond their means. 

Even after the dollar lost 34 percent since 2001, the biggest investors and 
most accurate forecasters say it will weaken further as home sales fall and the 
Federal Reserve cuts interest rates. The dollar plummeted to its lowest ever 
last week against the euro, Canadian dollar, Chinese yuan, and the cheapest in 
26 years against the British pound. 

We've told all our clients that if you had only one idea, one investment, it 
would be to buy an investment in a non-dollar currency, said Gross, the chief 
investment officer of Pacific Investment Management Co. in Newport Beach, 
California, and manager of the world's biggest bond fund. That should be on 
top of the list, said Gross, whose firm is a unit of Munich-based insurer 
Allianz SE. 

The dollar fell 0.8 percent last week to $1.4505, the weakest since the euro 
started trading in 1999. It lost 2.8 percent against the Canadian dollar to 
93.51 cents and 1.8 percent versus the pound to $2.09. The Fed's U.S. Trade 
Weighted Major Currency Dollar index tumbled to 76.3, from 112.89 in January 
2004. 

...Bundchen's Demands 

BNP Paribas chief currency strategist Hans-Guenter Redeker, the most accurate 
foreign-exchange forecaster last quarter in a Bloomberg survey, said the dollar 
may drop to $1.50 per euro by year-end. The median estimate of 44 strategists 
surveyed by Bloomberg is for the currency to end the year at $1.43. Among those 
surveyed last week, the forecast ranges from $1.42 to $1.50. 

When Bundchen, 27, signed a contract in August to represent Pantene hair 
products for Cincinnati-based Procter  Gamble Co., she demanded payment in 
euros, according to Veja, Brazil's biggest weekly magazine. She'll also get 
euros for the deal she reached last October with Dolce  Gabbana SpA in Milan 
to promote the Italian designer's new fragrance, The One, Veja reported. 
Bundchen earned $33 million in the year through June, Forbes reported in July. 

Contracts starting now are more attractive in euros because we don't know what 
will happen to the dollar, Patricia Bundchen, the model's twin sister and 
manager in Brazil, said in a telephone interview in September from Sao Paulo. 
She declined to discuss details of the arrangements last week, as did Anne 
Nelson, Bundchen's agent in New York at IMG Models. 

...Dollar Support 

Procter  Gamble's Sao Paulo-based external relations director for Brazil, 
Andre Quadra, said he couldn't give details of the Pantene contract because of 
a confidentiality agreement. 

Analysts in a Bloomberg survey expect the dollar to strengthen in coming months 
as stronger-than-forecast reports suggest U.S. consumers will keep the economy 
out of recession. Payrolls grew by 166,000 in October, double the median 
forecast of economists in a Bloomberg survey. 

The dollar will rise to $1.43 per euro this year and $1.35 by the end of 2008, 
according to the median estimate in the survey. 

So far the data has shown the

SKIRMISHES BETWEEN THE ISRAEL LOBBY 
AND OTHER ELITES WHICH ZIONISTS WON
_http://cyberjournal.org/show_archives/?id=1605lists=newslog_ 
(http://cyberjournal.org/show_archives/?id=1605lists=newslog)  
- 1930's: Career British diplomats issued a government backed white paper 
suggesting tying Jewish immigration to Palestine to Palestinian economic 
interests, not just the Yishuv capacity.  Weissman and other British Zionists 
mobilized their forces en masse and the effort succeeded in reversing this 
policy 
quickly (well discussed in Tom Segev’s excellent book on this period). 
-1940-1945: When there was strong sentiment in the US to help European Jews 
fleeing Nazi Germany, the Zionist lobby both in Britain and the US lobbied to 
limit Jewish immigration to the west and keep the door open only for one 
destination: Palestine (see Naeim Giladi’s book “Ben Gurion Scandals” and Lenni 
Brenner’s “51 Documents: History of the Nazi-Zionist collaboration). 
- 1948: When the State Department, the Pentagon, and all major career 
diplomats in the US stood against support for the establishment of Israel, 
President 
Truman explained his decision to his cabinet (privately) very clearly as 
relating to the lobby and voting adding that “I have no Arab constituency” 
(Truman 
papers and many history books).  The US went on to twist the arms of other 
countries to support partition and the imposing of a Jewish state on Palestine. 
- June 1967: Israeli forces attacked the USS Liberty in international waters. 
 Naval demands of an investigation were immediately attacked by the lobby in 
Congress.  Senior Navy officers (and all survivors of the attack) were angry, 
but could do nothing in the face of a concerted media silencing campaign.   
Even in 2003 when new evidence emerged, little was reported on it (see 
_http://www.ussliberty.org/_ (http://www.ussliberty.org/) ) 
- 1980's: Israel uses US technology and financing to develop its own arms 
export industry competing with US arms exporters but also giving advanced 
technologies to US competitors.  Many US arms industry leaders are unhappy, and 
some 
even complain openly, and Israeli-made Python II missiles now arm Chinese 
warplanes and in one instance threatened US planes. (see 
_http://www.ifamericansknew.org/us_ints/p-krane.html_ 
(http://www.ifamericansknew.org/us_ints/p-krane.html) ). 
- May 1987: The Reagan administration notified Congress of its intention to 
sell 1600 Maverick anti-tank missiles to Saudi Arabia.  According to the NY 
Times: Within half an hour, lobbyists from the American Israel Public 
Affairs Committee, the only group registered to lobby Congress on legislation 
affecting Israel, were on the telephone to lawmakers about the proposal. Over 
the 
next 13 days, the committee mobilized its nationwide network of supporters with 
a series of memorandums and telephone calls urging them to lobby Congress. 
Though it is unclear whether the committee, known as AIPAC, can take all the 
credit, more than 260 members of Congress co-sponsored resolutions to block the 
sale, prompting President Reagan to withdraw it. 
_http://www.ifamericansknew.org/us_ints/pg-nyt2.html_ 
(http://www.ifamericansknew.org/us_ints/pg-nyt2.html)  
- Early 1991: Israel asked the US for $10 billion in loan guarantees to 
settle Russian Jews. George HW Bush told Shamir that Israel could have the 
guarantees if it freezes settlement building and promises that no Russian Jews 
would 
be settled in the occupied areas. Shamir simply called the lobby leaders to 
help.  Mobilization was so swift and powerful that Bush received a barrage of 
media questions in a Press conference in 1991.. Bush uttered

Please do not remove this message until the _dispute is resolved._ 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:NPOVD#What_is_an_NPOV_dispute.3F) 
Neofeudalism literally means New _Feudalism_ 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feudalism)  and implies a contemporary rebirth 
of policies of _governance_ 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Governance)  and _economy_ 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy)  reminiscent of those present in many 
_pre-industrial_ 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pre-industrial)  feudal societies. The concept is 
one in 
which government policies are instituted with the effect (deliberate or 
otherwise) of systematically increasing the _wealth_ 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wealth)  _gap_ 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Income_distribution)  between the 
rich and the poor while increasing the power of the rich and decreasing the 
power of the poor (also see _wealth condensation_ 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wealth_condensation) ). This effect is considered 
to be similar to the 
effects of traditional feudalism. The precise meaning of the term is in 
question and 
can be employed as a _pejorative term_ 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pejorative_term)  to attack _political_ 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political)  
opponents. 
General 
Among the concerns of those who perceive (correctly or otherwise) an 
emergence of neofeudalism in contemporary society are class stratification, 
_globalization_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Globalization) , _multinational 
corporations_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multinational_corporation) , and 
_corporatism_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporatism) ._[1]_ 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neofeudalism#_note-0)  
Neofeudalism is part of the controversy over _income redistribution_ 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Income_redistribution)  born out of massive 
societal 
shifts during the _industrial revolution_ 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_revolution) . At the time the issue 
was wealth disparity between _classes_ 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_class) , landholders, entrepreneurs, 
peasants, workers, and other economic and social groups. Neofeudalism 
encompasses 
the current debate over globalization to include entire societies, countries, 
regions (North versus South, Western versus non-Western), and 
supra-national non-state actors. Unlike other _geopolitical_ 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geopolitics)  issues such as _environmentalism_ 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmentalism)  and _security_ 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security) 
, the charge of neofeudalism largely focuses on _economics_ 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economics) . 
In a party-neutral definition of the term, the traits ascribed to a 
supposedly emerging neofeudalism would not belong to one political party alone 
but are 
emergent throughout the whole political system in all or at least several 
major parties. Under this description the common factor linking neofeudal 
characteristics could best be described as the business interests catered to 
by a 
given party which describes a version of neofeudalism with its origin squarely 
in the realm of business interests and the interests of business owners

(http://bookclub.tpmcafe.com/story/2005/11/16/12635/421)  
Until that September 11, 2001, the two men most responsible for popularizing 
the idea of a clash of civilizations, Bernard Lewis and Samuel Huntington, 
were regarded as curiosities by mainstream national security and foreign policy 
experts. Their Ivy League credentials and access to prestigious publications 
such as Foreign Affairs, and the edgy radicalism of their theories, guaranteed 
that they would generate controversy, and they did. But few took their ideas 
seriously, except for a scattered array of neoconservatives, who, in the 1990s, 
resided on the fringe themselves. The Lewis-Huntington thesis was hit by a 
withering salvo of counterattacks from many journalists, academics, and foreign 
policy gurus.
Samuel Huntington, whose controversial book The Clash of Civilizations 
amounted to a neoconservative declaration of war, wrote that the enemy was not 
the 
Islamic right, but the religion of the Koran itself:

The underlying problem for the West is not Islamic fundamentalism. It is 
Islam, a different civilization whose people are convinced of the superiority 
of 
their culture and are obsessed with the inferiority of their power. The problem 
for Islam is not the CIA or the U.S. Department of Defense. It is the West, a 
different civilization whose people are convinced of the universality of 
their culture and believe that their superior, if declining power imposes on 
them 
the obligation to extend that culture throughout the world.

What followed from Huntington's manifesto, of course, was that the 
Judeo-Christian world and the Muslim world were locked in a state of permanent 
cultural 
war. The terrorists--such as Al Qaeda, which was still taking shape when 
Huntington's book came out--were not just a gang of fanatics with a political 
agenda, but the manifestation of a civilizational conflict. Like a modern 
oracle of 
Delphi, Huntington suggested that the gods had foreordained the collision, 
and mere humans could not stop it.  
Huntington acknowledged--without mentioning the role of the United 
States--that Islam had been a potent force against the left during the Cold 
War. At one 
time or another during the Cold War many governments, including those of 
Algeria, Turkey, Jordan, Egypt and Israel, encouraged and supported Islamists 
as a 
counter to communist or hostile nationalist movements, he wrote. At least 
until the Gulf War, Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states provided massive funding 
to the Muslim Brotherhood and Islamist groups in a variety of countries.  
But he had a neat explanation of how the alliance between the West and the 
Islamists unraveled. The collapse of communism removed a common enemy of the 
West 
and Islam and left each the perceived major threat to the other, he wrote.  
In the 1990s many saw a `civilizational cold war' again developing between 
Islam and the West.  Huntington, who is not an expert on Islam, observed a 
connection between Islam and militarism,  and he asserted: Islam has from 
the 
start been a religion of the sword and it glorifies military virtues.  Just to 
make sure that no one could miss his point, he quoted an unnamed U.S. army 
officer who said, The southern tier--i.e., the border between Europe and the 
Middle East--is rapidly becoming NATO's new front line.  
Huntington quotes his guru on matters Islamic, Bernard Lewis, in order to 
prove that Islam presents an existential threat to the very survival of the 
West:

`For almost a thousand years,' Bernard Lewis observes, `from the first 
Moorish landing in Spain to the second

Rice, Hadley to be subpoenaed in Israel lobby spy case
_http://afp.google.com/article/ALeqM5jfqsMUGt_xLUPtGJWuJBhG2dOpCA_ 
(http://afp.google.com/article/ALeqM5jfqsMUGt_xLUPtGJWuJBhG2dOpCA)  
WASHINGTON (AFP) — A judge ruled Friday that Secretary of State Condoleezza 
Rice and White House National Security Advisor Stephen Hadley can be subpoenaed 
to testify in a sensitive spying case that has focused attention on Israel's 
powerful US lobbying. 
Federal court judge T.S. Ellis ruled to allow the request by lawyers for 
Steven Rosen and Keith Weissman, former employees of the influential pro-Israel 
lobby American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), to subpoena Rice, 
Hadley 
and 13 other current and former top government officials to testify in the 
case, according to court documents. 
Rosen and Weissman, accused of passing secret US defense information to 
unauthorized people while they worked for AIPAC, hope the testimony of the 
government officials will support their defense that they were not engaged in 
spying. 
The defendants claim that testimony from these current and former officials 
will tend to show that the overt acts reflect nothing more than the 
well-established official Washington practice of engaging in 'back-channel' 
communication, according to Friday's ruling issued in Alexandria, Virginia. 
The White House and the State Department declined to comment on the ruling, 
which rejected government arguments that the officials' testimony in the case, 
which involves key issues of national security, would be immaterial and even 
harmful to the defendants. 
We are aware of the order authorizing the potential issuance of subpoenas in 
the Rosen and Weissman case should the case go to trial, said National 
Security Council spokesman Gordon Johndroe. 
It is our understanding that no subpoenas have been issued at this time. We 
cannot comment further because this is an ongoing criminal prosecution. 
We are not going to comment on an ongoing legal matter, said State 
Department spokesman Tom Casey. 
Rosen and Weissman and Department of Defense official Lawrence Franklin were 
charged in 2005 under the Espionage Act with conspiracy to communicate 
national defense information after they were documented in a lengthy FBI 
investigation sharing sensitive US intelligence with each other and with 
Israel. 
US officials alleged that between 1999 and 2004 Franklin passed secrets to 
Israel using AIPAC as the conduit; at the time Rosen was the lobby's policy 
director and Weissman an analyst on Iran. 
The sealed indictments, according to court documents, record 57 overt acts in 
the mishandling of the secrets, including meetings and telephone calls 
involving communicating the information with both US and foreign nationals. 
The intelligence involved terrorist activities in Central Asia, US 
intelligence and policy regarding Middle Eastern countries, and Al Qaeda, 
according to 
the court documents. 
Rosen and Weissman maintain that the secrets were not closely held by the US 
government and their disclosure did no damage to the country, the court 
documents said. 
Franklin, a former assistant to former undersecretary of defense Douglas 
Feith, pleaded guilty after a series of closed hearings and was sentenced in 
January 2006 to 12 years and seven months in prison and a 10,000 dollar fine. 
The pre-trial ruling will allow Rosen and Weissman's lawyers to proceed with 
subpoenas for Rice, Hadley, former senior State Department officials Richard 
Armitage, Marc Grossman, Matthew Bryza and William Burns, former top defense 
department officials Feith and Paul Wolfowitz, and others from US defense,

Ex-Saudi ambassador: Kingdom could have helped U.S. prevent 9/11

http://i.l.cnn.net/cnn/2007/WORLD/meast/11/01/saudiarabia.terrorism/art.binsultan.afp.gi.jpg

* Story Highlights
* Prince Bandar bin Sultan: U.S. did not engage Saudis in serious,
credible way
* All but four of September 11 hijackers were Saudi nationals
* U.S. official: Bandar's comments should be taken with a grain
of salt
* Bandar was the Saudi ambassador to Washington for nearly 22 years

(CNN) -- Saudi Arabia could have helped the United States prevent al
Qaeda's 2001 attacks on New York and Washington if American officials
had consulted Saudi authorities in a credible way, the kingdom's
former ambassador said in a documentary aired Thursday.
art.binsultan.afp.gi.jpg

Prince Bandar said that Saudi intelligence was actively following
most of the 9/11 plotters with precision.

The comments by Prince Bandar bin Sultan are similar to the remarks
this week by Saudi King Abdullah that suggested Britain could have
prevented the July 2005 train bombings in London if it had heeded
warnings from Riyadh.

Speaking to the Arabic satellite network Al-Arabiya on Thursday,
Bandar -- now Abdullah's national security adviser -- said Saudi
intelligence was actively following most of the September 11, 2001,
plotters with precision.

If U.S. security authorities had engaged their Saudi counterparts in
a serious and credible manner, in my opinion, we would have avoided
what happened, he said. Video Watch Bandar's comments »

Bandar was the Saudi ambassador to Washington for nearly 22 years
before he was replaced in 2005. A knowledgeable U.S. official told CNN
that Bandar's comments should be taken with a grain of salt.

On Monday, Abdullah told the BBC that Saudi Arabia had sent warnings
to British authorities before the London subway bombings that killed
52 people -- the city's bloodiest day since World War II.

We have sent information to Great Britain before the terrorist
attacks in Britain, Abdullah said. But unfortunately, no action was
taken, and it may have been able to avert the tragedy.

The September 11 attacks killed nearly 3,000 people in New York,
Washington and Pennsylvania. All but four of the suicide hijackers who
carried out the plot were Saudi nationals, and after the attacks, the
kingdom was widely criticized for having tolerated Islamic militancy.

The Saudis have called the criticism unfair, pointing out that al
Qaeda founder Osama bin Laden's original grievance was against the
country's ruling family, which invited U.S. troops into the kingdom
after the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait in 1990.

A string of attacks on Western compounds, oil installations and Saudi
institutions between 2003 and 2006 were blamed on al Qaeda's followers.

And Saudi officials say that since 9/11, they have taken steps to
ensure charitable donations do not fall into the hands of al Qaeda.

Title:  Planned American Dictatorship Has Started Creation of Their Thought 
Police
Subtitle: We have expected this type of law since the attacks of 9/11. While 
California was burning, the House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed a 
Thought Crime bill which will classify Patriot and/or Christian dissidents as 
Homegrown Terrorists!
Since the 9/11 attacks, Cutting Edge has been warning that the Illuminati was 
planning to use the attacks as cover for implementing a severe dictatorship 
upon America. Gradually, and always operating under the guise of saving 
American freedom, Skull  Bones President Bush has cooperated with an equally 
committed Illuminist Congress, has consistently passed laws which remove all 
our freedoms and Constitutional protections. 

If you have ever actually read Patriot Acts 1 and 2, you will realize that our 
government can arrest anyone on any pretense, without specific charges, with no 
right to a lawyer, no right for a public jury trial, and no right to appeal any 
sentence. Furthermore, the victim can be jailed at a secret location, his 
family has no right to know where he is, and he can be executed secretly and 
buried just as secretly, with the government under no requirement to notify the 
family that he was executed. 

The only reason we Americans still think we are free is that our government 
leaders have decided to not implement any of these draconian laws right away. 
Following the example set by Adolf Hitler, our leaders are gradually setting 
these dictatorial laws in place but not implementing them until the total Plan 
is ready to set in motion. When the time has come for the next terrorist attack 
and/or the next environmental disaster to occur, FEMA and/or Homeland Security 
can totally dissolve our Constitutional government, and start arresting 
dissidents, completely protected by law. Again, this is the path traveled by 
Adolf Hitler 

The Horror of H.R. 1955: Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism 
Prevention Act of 2007 

NEWS BRIEF: House Passes Thought Crime Prevention Bill, BY Lee Rogers, Rogue 
Government.com, 10-25-2007 

The U.S. House of Representatives recently passed HR 1955 titled the Violent 
Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007. This bill is one 
of the most blatant attacks against the Constitution yet, and actually defines 
thought crimes as homegrown terrorism. If passed into law, it will also 
establish a commission and a Center of Excellence to study and defeat so called 
thought criminals. Unlike previous anti-terror legislation, this bill 
specifically targets the civilian population of the United States and uses 
vague language to define homegrown terrorism. 

Please note the following troubling provisions: 

1) Civilian populations of the United States -- American citizens -- are 
targeted. Starting in late, 2001, Cutting Edge warned repeatedly that the 
danger in disallowing non-citizens their normal rights under American law was 
that the day would soon come when native-born American citizens would be 
disallowed their Constitutional rights. But, because the targets following 9/11 
were Islamic terrorists, the average American on the street uttered not one 
word of protest. 

Now this bill substantiates the truth of the Cutting Edge position: American 
citizens were the ultimate targets after all! 

2) Vague language is always the friend of the dictator, and always proves the 
complete undoing of the dissident. 

3) American citizens who are

 (http://weekly.ahram.org.eg/2007/868/_in2.htm)Sarkozy   

 
As if his marital challenges were not enough cause for concern, Sarco the 
Sayan has suddenly emerged as the most infamous accolade of French President 
Nicolas Sarkozy. The influential French daily Le Figaro last week revealed that 
the French leader once worked for -- and perhaps still does, it hinted -- 
Israeli intelligence as a sayan (Hebrew for helper), one of the thousands of 
Jewish citizens of countries other than Israel who cooperate with the katsas 
(Mossad case-officers). 
A letter dispatched to French police officials late last winter -- long 
before the presidential election but somehow kept secret -- revealed that 
Sarkozy 
was recruited as an Israeli spy. The French police is currently investigating 
documents concerning Sarkozy's alleged espionage activities on behalf of 
Mossad, which Le Figaro claims dated as far back as 1983. According to the 
author of 
the message, in 1978, Israeli prime minister Menachem Begin ordered the 
infiltration of the French ruling Gaullist Party, Union pour un Mouvement 
Populaire. Originally targeted were Patrick Balkany, Patrick Devedjian and 
Pierre 
Lellouche. In 1983, they recruited the young and promising Sarkozy, the 
fourth 
man.  
Ex-Mossad agent Victor Ostrovsky describes how sayanim function in By Way Of 
Deception: The Making and Unmaking of a Mossad Officer. They are usually 
reached through relatives in Israel. An Israeli with a relative in France, for 
instance, might be asked to draft a letter saying the person bearing the letter 
represents an organisation whose main goal is to help save Jewish people in the 
Diaspora. Could the French relative help in any way? They perform many 
different roles. A car sayan, for example, running a rental car agency, could 
help 
the Mossad rent a car without having to complete the usual documentation. An 
apartment sayan would find accommodation without raising suspicions, a bank 
sayan 
could fund someone in the middle of the night if needs be, a doctor sayan 
would treat a bullet wound without reporting it to the police.  
And, a political sayan ? It's rather obvious what this could mean. The 
sayanim are a pool of people at the ready who will keep quiet about their 
actions 
out of loyalty to the cause, a non-risk recruitment system that draws from 
the 
millions of Jewish people outside Israel.  
Such talk sends chills down spines, especially Arab and Muslim ones. Indeed, 
the revelation did not go unnoticed in Arab capitals or come as much of a 
surprise. Paris can be a sunny place for shady people. When it comes to 
intelligence gathering on behalf of Israel, a question mark is immediately 
raised on the 
moral calibre of the person in question. But, how does this scandal influence 
France's foreign and domestic politics?  
It is of symbolic significance that Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert was on 
a state visit to France in the immediate aftermath of Le Figaro 's exposé -- 
ostensibly to discuss Iran's nuclear agenda and the Palestinian question. 
Proud and prickly France under its supposedly savvy new president hopes to play 
a 
more prominent role in the perplexing world of Middle Eastern politics. On 
Monday, Sarkozy flew to Morocco, the ancestral home of many of France's Jewry, 
soon after his Mossad connection was made public. There is no clear evidence 
that the revelation is to make France

 The Parts Left Out of the Good Shepherd
 Hollywood recently released the first behind-the-curtain account of the 
creation of the Central Intelligence Agency and its relationship with a secret 
society at Yale University known as Skull and Bones. HIGH TIMES asked the 
world's 
leading authority on the group to help us separate truth from fiction. 

By Kris Millegan


  I hope you are lucky enough to meet someone you trust. I regret to say. I 
haven't.
—Dr, Fredricks [Michael Gambon] in The Good Shepherd

 The Good Shepherd is Robert De Niro's effort to mine the dramatic materials 
at the very real-life nexus of secret societies, intelligence agencies and 
recorded history, apparently in an attempt to forge a Godfather-style franchise.
 
 But one is left wincing at the thought of The Good Shepherd.  Part II, given 
that the film begins and ends with the failed Bay of Pigs invasion and its 
aftermath, with the assassination of JFK and its attendant wilderness of 
conspiracy lurking just over the horizon, Will the right people end up 
washing the 
blood off their hands in a sequel, laying the action off on some mob operation 
gone rogue, which then had to be covered up for the good of the country? 
All just an honest mistake 

 But I seem to be getting ahead of myself. I have often been asked. 'What do 
you think of the movie The Good Shepherd? And the best response I could 
usually offer was: Well. I haven't seen it yet. I'd been aware of the film 
for 
several years, and followed its progress to the silver screen, but I don't get 
out much. Then, finally, the DVD version of the film wound its way to our local 
store, and I picked up a copy to see what I could find.  My first viewing 
brought up a host of indignant furies, all riled at the historical hubris of 
the 
tale and the simple fact that most of the characters in it and even the film's 
central story of betrayal are amalgamations at best, and total confabulations 
at worst. Don't get me wrong: I'm not saying that you shouldn't watch this 
movie, As a matter of fact. I recommend it highly — but with caveats, as will 
soon become clear. 

 Similar emotions were probably experienced by the relatives of Mafia members 
when The Godfather came out: contempt for its errors, but still a 
satisfaction at seeing a film with some semblance of reality, accurately 
portraying the 
Mafia's attitudes, atmosphere and activities while, at the same time, exposing 
a very tragic and very real group that plays by its own rules and affects us 
all … immensely. Being an intelligence brat. I can only speak about The Good 
Shepherd, but if you're interested in the views of Mafia whelps. I suggest 
reading Mafia Princess by Antoinette Giancana, or maybe watching some Growing 
Up 
Gotti on AE. 

 But then, my own dad wasn't a big boss; he was just a lesser boss, someone 
who had been in some very interesting places at some very interesting times, 
which had given him an overview of the agency beyond the standard 
compartmentalization. The last overt job that my father, Lloyd S. Millegan, had 
with the CIA 
was serving as a branch chief, the head of the East Asia Research Analysis 
Office. Before that, he'd been in the Office of Strategic Services (0SS) and a 
few of the other alpha-named agencies that eventually morphed into the CIA. 
After his initial contact with the intelligence community in 1936. as an

As a deep Iran-Contra operative Thompson is himself linked with
megalithic CIA cocaine smuggling, which is mostly what CIA trojan
horse Iran-Contra fake support for the Nicaraguan contras was about.
The contras did not receive half a percent of drug proceeds, or else
they would have had Stinger missiles and helicopters instead of cheap
Chinese  rifles that can't hit the side of a barn.

This about a Thompson aide smuggling a few pounds of marijunana seems
like a limited hangout in comparison of Thompson's support for CIA
cocaine smuggling, and Republican links to two recently captured CIA
cocaine flights in Mexico involving tons of cocaine, and Republican
links to 911 heroin smuggling and quid pro quo liberation of Lebanese
and Afghan-Pak poppies as payback for 911 heroin funding for Porter
Goss and Air America CIA.

Thompson Adviser Has Criminal Past

By Matthew Mosk
Washington Post Staff Writer
Sunday, November 4, 2007; A01

Republican presidential candidate Fred D. Thompson has been
crisscrossing the country since early this summer on a private jet
lent to him by a businessman and close adviser who has a criminal
record for drug dealing.

Thompson selected the businessman, Philip Martin, to raise seed money
for his White House bid. Martin is one of four campaign co-chairmen
and the head of a group called the first day founders. Campaign
aides jokingly began to refer to Martin, who has been friends with
Thompson since the early 1990s, as the head of Thompson's Airforce.

Thompson's frequent flights aboard Martin's twin-engine Cessna 560
Citation have saved him more than $100,000, because until the law
changed in September, campaign-finance rules allowed presidential
candidates to reimburse private jet owners for just a fraction of the
true cost of flights.

Martin entered a plea of guilty to the sale of 11 pounds of marijuana
in 1979; the court withheld judgment pending completion of his
probation. He was charged in 1983 with violating his probation and
with multiple counts of felony bookmaking, cocaine trafficking and
conspiracy. He pleaded no contest to the cocaine-trafficking and
conspiracy charges, which stemmed from a plan to sell $30,000 worth of
the drug, and was continued on probation.

Thompson's campaign said the candidate was not aware of the multiple
criminal cases, for which Martin served no jail time. All are
described in public court records.

Karen Hanretty, Thompson's deputy communications director, said
yesterday that Senator Thompson was unaware of the information until
this afternoon. Phil Martin has been a friend of the senator since the
mid-1990s and remains so today. Thompson communications director Todd
Harris added that Martin was not subjected to the campaign's standard
vetting process because he's a longtime friend.

There's not a campaign in the world that has the ability to research
every one of its supporters going back more than 20 years, Harris said.

Martin could not be reached in the past week, and lawyers for him in
Tennessee and Florida declined to comment on the criminal cases.
Hanretty said she forwarded detailed questions from The Washington
Post to Martin yesterday afternoon.

Martin, 49, is one of several top political fundraisers with a
criminal past to gain access this year to a presidential contender.
Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton decided in September to return more than
$800,000 raised by Norman Hsu, one of her top bundlers, after
newspapers disclosed that he had been convicted of fraud and had an
outstanding warrant for his arrest.

Martin has been more than just a key fundraiser

(http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/business/markets/article2790862.ece)  
Meredith Whitney, the analyst who prompted a $369 billion (£177 billion) 
plunge in the value of US shares on Thursday by issuing a negative note on 
Citigroup, hit out at Wall Street’s culture of intimidation yesterday after 
receiving 
several death threats from investors in the bank.  
Ms Whitney, a CIBC analyst who is married to the former World Wrestling 
Entertainment champion Death Mask, prompted a near 7 per cent drop in 
Citigroup’s 
shares on Thursday, after suggesting that the bank needed to raise more than 
$30 billion to restore its capital cushion.  
She also downgraded her recommendation on Citigroup’s shares to “market 
underperform” in the note that set off America’s biggest stock market decline 
since August.  
Ms Whitney, Forbes’s second-highest ranked stock picker for 2007, told The 
Times: “People are scared to be negative, especially when a company has such a 
wide holding. Clients are not pleased with my call and I have had several death 
threats.  
“But it was the most straightforward call I’ve made in my career and I am 
surprised my peer analysts have been resistant. It’s so straightforward, it’s 
indisputable.”  
Ms Whitney, whose marriage to John Charles Layfield, the wrestler, 2½ years 
ago was detailed in The New York Times, said that she has never felt any 
pressure from the Wall Street firms themselves to be positive. But she said 
investors could be “nasty and belligerent” if they felt you had lost them a lot 
of 
money by influencing the price of their shares.  
“No one had the moxie to put in print what I put in print,” she said.  
Ms Whitney’s note came two weeks after Citigroup reported a 57 per cent drop 
in its third-quarter profits, following a $6.5 billion writedown, much of 
which related to the credit crunch.  
That writedown intensified recurring calls for Chuck Prince, Citigroup’s 
head, to stand down, although he remains at the helm of the world’s biggest 
bank.  
But in a move that will fuel speculation about his position, Mr Prince 
yesterday cancelled a speech he had been due to give tomorrow at the US Japan 
Business Conference. A Citigroup spokesman said he had cancelled the appearance 
to 
prepare for the company’s new listing on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on Monday.

FBI Whistleblower Sibel Edmonds 
Will Tell All Now -- and Face Charges if Necessary -- to Any Major Television 
Network That Will Let Her
 
She's Prepared to Name Names, Including Those of Two 'Well-Known' Congress 
Members Involved in Criminal Corruption
 
The 'Most Gagged Person in U.S. History' Tells The BRAD BLOG She's Now 
Exhausted All Other Channels...
 
-- By Brad Friedman 
_http://www.bradblog.com/?p=5197_ (http://www.bradblog.com/?p=5197)  
Attention CBS 60 Minutes: we've got a huge scoop for you. If you want it. 
Remember the _exclusive story you aired on Sibel Edmonds_ 
(http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2002/10/25/60minutes/main526954.shtml) , 
originally on October 
27th, 2002, when she was not allowed to tell you everything that she heard 
while 
serving as an FBI translator after 9/11 because she was gagged by the 
rarely-invoked States Secret Privilege? Well, she's still gagged. In fact, as 
the 
ACLU first described her, she's the most gagged person in the history of the 
United States of America. 
But if you'll sit down and talk with her for an unedited interview, she has 
now told _The BRAD BLOG_ (http://www.bradblog.com/)  during an exclusive 
interview, she will now tell you everything she knows. 
Everything she hasn't been allowed to tell since 2002, about the criminal 
penetration of the FBI where she worked, and at the Departments of State and 
Defense; everything she heard concerning the corruption and illegal activities 
of 
several well-known members of Congress; everything she's aware of concerning 
information omitted and/or covered up in relation to 9/11. All of the 
information gleaned from her time listening to and translating wire-taps made 
prior to 
9/11 at the FBI. 
Here's a _handy bullet-point list_ (http://www.bradblog.com/?p=2498) , as we 
ran it in March of 2006, for reference, of what she's now willing to tell you 
about. 
People say, 'why doesn't she just come forward and spill the beans?' I have 
gone all the way to the Supreme Court and was shut down, I went to Congress 
and now consider that shut down, she told _The BRAD BLOG_ 
(http://www.bradblog.com/)  last week when we spoke with her for comments in 
relation to _our 
story_ (http://www.bradblog.com/?p=5163)  on former House Speaker Dennis 
Hastert's 
original attempt to move a resolution through the U.S. House in 2000 declaring 
the 1915 massacre of 1.5 million ethnic Armenians in Turkey as genocide. 
Here's my promise to the American Public: If anyone of the major networks 
--- ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, FOX --- promise to air the entire segment, 
without editing, I promise to tell them everything that I know, about 
everything 
mentioned above, she told us. 
I can tell the American public exactly what it is, and what it is that they 
are covering up, she continued. I'm not compromising ongoing 
investigations, Edmonds explained, because they've all been shut down since. 
She's Very Credible 
She has, in fact, spent years taking every reasonable step to see that the 
information she has goes through the proper channels. The Supreme Court refused 
to hear her whistleblower lawsuit, even in light of the Department of Justice 
forcing the removal of both her and her own attorneys from the courtroom when 
they made their arguments concerning why it was that she still had to remain 
gagged under the States Secrets Privilege. 
On the morning that the SCOTUS refused to hear her case, the _facade cracked_ 
(http://www.bradblog.com/?p=2086)  on the front of the building. In a 
ridiculously ironic metaphor which would have been rejected by any credible 
screen-writer, a chunk of marble --- just above an allegorical statue

New rift looms with Putin as Russia's 'most wanted' oligarch seeks asylum in
Britain
By WILL STEWART and JASON LEWIS -
Last updated at 22:08pm on 27th October 2007
_http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=4
90168in_page_id=1770in_a_source_
(http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=490168in_page_id=1770in_a_source)
=One of
Russia's richest and most wanted men has secretly applied for political
asylum in Britain, fuelling the ongoing row between president Putin and Gordon
Brown.
Mikhail Gutseriyev, former head of massive oil and gas firm Russneft, is
understood to be in hiding in the UK and appealing for Government protection.
He fled Russia with a reputed £1.5 billion after a warrant was issued for his
arrest on major fraud and tax evasion charges.
But the 49-year-old billionaire - a bitter rival of Chelsea owner Roman
Abramovich - claims he was hounded out of his business by the Kremlin for
political
reasons.

In hiding: Gutseriyev claims he was hounded by the Kremlin
A former member of the Russian parliament, Mr Gutseriyev disappeared from
Russia several weeks ago and is understood to have been smuggled to Britain
where, Whitehall sources said, he has made an asylum application to the Home
Office.
The Government received the paperwork in the past two weeks and it is
understood that it is being rushed through.
His presence in Britain is likely to deepen the rift with Russia.
Relations are already at a low over Moscow's decision to block the
extradition of the prime suspect in the murder of former KGB man Alexander
Litvinenko in
London last year and Britain's protection of Boris Berezovsky, who has
declared he wants to oust Mr Putin.
The Russian interior ministry says Mr Gutseriyev was involved in illegal
activities committed by an organised group on a grand scale.
He was charged by a Russian court on May 4 after a ten month investigation
into his firm.
Now the Moscow-based prosecutor general's office says it has applied to put
Mr Gutseriyev's name on Interpol's international wanted list.
Interpol is understood to be considering the case.
Last week his Moscow lawyer Alla Yaminskaya said: Gutseriyev is an honest
man who follows the law, an upstanding person. All court decisions relating to
this issue are illegal and will be appealed.
Mr Gutseriyev apparently incurred the Kremlin's wrath by buying assets from
Yukos, a rival oil company, before its bankruptcy last year and by refusing to
sell his own company to Mr Putin's allies.
Mr Putin has used Yukos's assets to build Rosneft, the state-run petroleum
company, into the country's largest producer of crude oil.
Yukos, the one-time market leader, was bankrupted and dismantled through a
series of forced auctions after the state claimed more than £15billion in back
taxes.
Its former owner, Mikhail Khodorkovsky, once Russia's richest man, was jailed
for fraud and tax evasion.
He has said he was punished for opposing Mr Putin. Mr Gutseriyev has been
labelled the second Khodorkovsky.
The latest twist comes after the mysterious death of Mr Gutseriyev's
Harrow-educated son Chingiskhan, 22, in Moscow last August, after crashing his
Ferrari.
Forensic tests for the family are said to have concluded that his death was
not accidental.
Friends say Mr Gutseriyev was unable to attend his son's funeral for fear he
would be arrested.
Last night the Home Office refused to confirm or deny that Mr Gutseriyev was
in Britain and asking for asylum.
But a spokesman added: The Government is committed to providing protection
for those individuals

Since when has it become accepted U.S. legal procedure
to CONTINUE to PUNISH those convicted of misdemeanors 
--AFTER they've served their sentence and been released-- 
by placing long-term (1-year to 10-year) legal restrictions on 
any exercise of freedom guaranteed by the Constitution: 
freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, freedom of movement?

Banned From Canada for a Year for War Protest

By Ann Wright
_http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/103007A.shtml_ 
(http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/103007A.shtml) 
Tuesday 30 October 2007 
_http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/103007A.shtml_ 
(http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/103007A.shtml)  
The invitation said six members of the Canadian Parliament were to speak 
October 25 on Canada's Parliament Hill as members of a panel called 
Peacebuilders 
Without Borders: Challenging the Post-9/11 Canada-US Security Agenda. I 
arrived at the Ottawa airport on the morning of October 25 expecting to be met 
by 
three members of Parliament and to hold a press conference at the airport. 
Medea Benjamin, co-founder of Codepink Women for Peace and Global Exchange, 
was also invited by the Parliamentarians, but the previous day had been 
arrested for holding up two fingers in the form of a peace sign during the US 
House 
of Representatives Committee on Foreign Affairs hearing in which Secretary of 
State Condoleezza Rice testified on Iraq, Iran and Israel-Palestinian issues. 
The October 24 committee hearing began with Codepink peace activist Desiree 
Fairooz holding up her red, paint-stained hands to Rice and shouting, The 
blood 
of millions of Iraqis is on your hands. As Capitol Hill police took her out 
of the House hearing, Fairooz yelled over her shoulder, War criminal, take her 
to the Hague.  
Shortly thereafter, two Codepinkers were arrested for just being in the room, 
and brutally hauled out of the hearing by Capitol police. An hour later, 
Medea and a male Codepinker were arrested for no reason. Four of the five had 
to 
stay overnight in the District of Columbia jail; Medea was one of those and 
missed the trip to Ottawa. 
I presented immigration officials our letter of invitation from the 
Parliamentarians that explained Medea and I had been denied entry to Canada at 
the 
Niagara Falls border crossing on October 3, 2007, because we had been convicted 
in 
the United States of peaceful, non-violent protests against the war on Iraq, 
including sitting on the sidewalk in front of the White House with 400 others, 
speaking out against torture during Congressional hearings, and other 
misdemeanors.  
The Canadian government knew of these offenses as they now have access to the 
FBI's National Crime Information database on which we are listed. The 
database was created to identify members of violent gangs and terrorist 
organizations, foreign fugitives, patrol violators and sex offenders -- not for 
[misdemeanors by] peace activists peacefully protesting illegal actions of 
their 
government. 
The immigration officer directed me to a secondary screening, where my 
request to call the members of Parliament waiting outside the customs' doors 
was 
denied. My suggestion that the letter of invitation from the Parliamentarians 
might be valuable in assessing the need for me to be in Canada was dismissed 
with 
the comment that members of Parliament do not have a role in determining who 
enters Canada. I suggested the laws enacted by the Parliament were the basis 
of that determination. I added that the reason I had been invited to Ottawa by

Major powers to meet on Iran this week
 
 
Wed Oct 31, 2007 6:06am GMT
 
 
_http://uk.reuters.com/article/worldNews/idUKL3013165820071031?sp=true_ 
(http://uk.reuters.com/article/worldNews/idUKL3013165820071031?sp=true) 


 
 (javascript:launchArticleSlideshow();)  
 (javascript:launchArticleSlideshow();) 

By Fredrik Dahl 
TEHRAN (Reuters) - Major powers plan to meet in London this week to discuss 
new sanctions on Iran amid a spat between Washington and the U.N. atomic energy 
watchdog over Tehran's nuclear ambitions, U.S. officials said. 
The officials in Washington, who asked not to be named because they were not 
authorised to discuss the matter in public, said they expected the five 
permanent members of the U.N. Security Council plus Germany to meet towards the 
end 
of the week. 
But Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, who left Tehran on Wednesday 
after a short visit, suggested a unified approach was a way off, telling 
reporters 
economic unilateral sanctions ... will not help the continued collective 
effort, an apparent reference to new U.S. punitive measures announced last 
week. 
The Iranian news agency IRNA, reporting Lavrov's departure, gave no further 
details of his talks. 
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said in a speech on Tuesday that Iran 
would not retreat in the dispute and dismissed U.S. offers of broader 
negotiations if Iran suspends its most sensitive atomic activities. 
This nation will not negotiate with anyone over its obvious and legal 
rights, he said. ... the Iranian nation does not need America. 
This week's meeting of the so-called P5+1 -- the United States, Great 
Britain, France and Germany, Russia and China-- was to have taken place two 
weeks 
ago, but China pulled out in protest against the U.S. Congress' plan to honour 
the Dalai Lama. 
Its purpose is to discuss a possible third U.N. Security Council resolution 
imposing sanctions against Iran for its refusal to suspend uranium enrichment.  
It was unclear whether the London meeting would take place on Thursday or on 
Friday. 
The world's major powers agreed in late September to delay a vote on tougher 
sanctions on Iran until late November at the earliest, depending on reports by 
the U.N. nuclear watchdog and a European Union negotiator. 
GIVE IRAN MORE TIME 
Russia and China opposed an early move to tighten economic sanctions, saying 
Tehran should be given more time to cooperate with the International Atomic 
Energy Agency (IAEA) to shed light on its past activities. 
Agency chief Mohamed ElBaradei has annoyed Washington by suggesting its 
sometimes harsh stance toward Tehran was counter-productive. On Sunday, he 
urged 
Iran's critics to stop spinning and hyping the Iranian issue. 
Washington slapped new sanctions on Iran last week and recent months have 
seen somewhat belligerent rhetoric that has prompted speculation of possible 
U.S. 
military action before President George W. Bush steps down in January 2009. 
Bush recently suggested a nuclear-armed Iran could lead to World War Three, 
but a White House spokeswoman said on Tuesday that was a hypothetical 
situation and the president was determined to resolve the standoff through 
diplomacy. 
There is no intention of bombing Iran, Dana Perino told reporters. We are 
on a diplomatic track. We are working with our partners in the U.N. Security 
Council. 
Visiting Tehran two weeks ago, President Vladimir Putin said Russia would not 
accept military strikes against Iran. Russia says dialogue is the way to ease 
tensions. 
The Lavrov visit coincides with a crucial round of talks in Tehran between 
officials from Iran and the U.N. International Atomic Energy

To Implement Policy, Bush to Turn to Administrative Orders


By Michael Abramowitz and Jonathan Weisman
Washington Post, October 31, 2007; A03 
_http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/10/30/AR20071030005
58_pf.html_ 
(http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/10/30/AR2007103000558_pf.html)
 
_The White House_ 
(http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/related/topic/The+White+House?tid=informline)
  plans to try implementing as much new policy as it can 
by administrative order while stepping up its confrontational rhetoric with 
Congress after concluding that _President Bush_ 
(http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/related/topic/George+W.+Bush?tid=informline) 
 cannot do much business with 
the Democratic leadership, administration officials said. 
According to those officials, Bush and his advisers blame Democrats for the 
holdup of _Judge Michael B. Mukasey_ 
(http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/related/topic/Michael+Mukasey?tid=informline)
 's nomination to be attorney general, 
the failure to pass any of the 12 annual spending bills, and what they see as 
their refusal to involve the White House in any meaningful negotiations over 
the stalemated children's health-care legislation. 
White House aides say the only way Bush seems to be able to influence the 
process is by vetoing legislation or by issuing administrative orders, as he 
has 
in recent weeks on veterans' health care, air-traffic congestion, protecting 
endangered fish and immigration. They say they expect Bush to issue more of 
such orders in the next several months, even as he speaks out on the need to 
limit spending and resist any tax increases. 
The events of recent weeks have crystallized that the chances of these 
leaders meeting the administration halfway are becoming increasingly remote, 
said 
White House spokesman _Tony Fratto_ 
(http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/related/topic/Tony+Fratto?tid=informline) . 
Bush himself has been complaining more and more bitterly about congressional 
Democrats in recent weeks. In a private meeting yesterday with House 
Republicans in the East Room of the White House, Bush recalled how he had been 
able to 
work with Democrats when he was _Texas_ 
(http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/related/topic/Texas?tid=informline)  
governor and said he had hoped to find the 
same relationships in Washington. 
He sort of longs for those days, when both sides were genuinely interested 
in getting along and getting a deal, said _Rep. Adam H. Putnam_ 
(http://projects.washingtonpost.com/congress/members/p000586/)  (R-Fla.), the 
chairman of 
the House Republican Conference, who helped organize yesterday's White House 
meeting, attended by about 150 Republicans. 
The president offered more criticism after the session. Congress is not 
getting its work done, Bush said. We're near the end of the year, and there 
really isn't much to show for it. 
House Democratic leaders fired back at Bush with strong rhetoric of their 
own. The president wants the same complacent, complicit Congress that was a 
co-conspirator in a coverup of what was going on in this country, said House 
_Majority Leader Steny H. Hoyer_ 
(http://projects.washingtonpost.com/congress/members/h000874/)  (D-Md.). 
Both sides have their own political calculations for digging in, with the 
White House and Republicans seeking to reestablish their credentials as fiscal 
conservatives and with Democrats concluding that they are on the right side 
politically on children's health care and other issues. 
On some issues, the White House has become increasingly left out of the 
legislative process. Bush's objection to any tax increases, for instance, has

Minnesota's Finnish guests find a rude airport welcome
The musicians say they were subjected to harsh, demeaning treatment; the U.S.
government says it's investigating.

When three of Finland's most popular musicians, including one described as
that country's Bruce Springsteen, arrived for a recent tour in Minnesota, they
expected a quick trip through airport customs.

Instead, immigration agents at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport
subjected them to more than two hours of interrogation that the musicians
considered so harsh and demeaning that they filed a formal complaint with the
U.S. Embassy in Helsinki.
It was almost three hours of screaming, door-slamming and accusations,
according to the report I received, said Marianne Wargelin, honorary Finnish
consul for the Dakotas and most of Minnesota, which has the second largest
Finnish-American population in the nation.
Erkki Maattanen, a filmmaker for Finnish Public Television who accompanied
the musicians on the September trip, said his questioners seemed to think the
entourage was smuggling drugs or intending to work without a permit. I kept
trying to tell them why we were here, but they'd just yell, 'Shut up!' he
said.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials at the airport declined to
comment, referring questions to regional press officer Brett Sturgeon.
Sturgeon said such behavior, if it occurred, would run contrary to the
agency's policy that travelers must be treated in a professional manner. The
complaint has not yet arrived at the Chicago regional office, but when it does,
it
will be fully investigated, he said.
He speculated that the Finns could have been singled out because they were
arriving from Amsterdam, considered high risk for narcotics trafficking.
The incident began about noon Sept. 13 when the artists were standing in line
at the airport, waiting for their passports to be checked, said Maattanen.
They had been invited to the Immigration History Research Center at the
University of Minnesota for a cultural tribute to Finnish-Americans. They also
planned
to travel to Thunder Bay, Ontario, and several small towns in Minnesota and
Michigan to meet Finnish-Americans and play music from their homeland.
Finnish Public Television, which was making a documentary about the trip, and
the university paid travel expenses, said Prof. Jukka Savolainen, who was
waiting at the airport to meet them.
As the artists waited in line, two immigration agents approached musician
Jukka Karjalainen, whom Savolainen described as the Bruce Springsteen of
Finland as well as a devotee of Finnish-American folk music. According to the
complaint, they began questioning and yelling at him.
Sniffing dogs
Dogs were brought in to sniff the artists' bags. Each was taken into a
separate room for questioning, which focused on whether they were going to earn
any
money on their trip.
They threatened us with severe punishments if we talk to each other,
according to the complaint signed by musicians Ninni Poijärvi and Mika
Kuokkanen,

This TV broadcast was pure unadulterated superstition-mongering masquerading 
as a historical documentary (from the same folks who brought you the special 
on the Jesus Family Tomb) ... 
 
The featured New Age commentators were apparently all too dimwitted to 
recognize that the 72 plates in the book were essentially Tarot cards -- the 
Wheel 
of Fortune, the Tower (here interpreted as a prophecy of the Twin Towers on 
9/11, as if no one had seen a Tarot deck before!), etc., were all clearly in 
evidence.  The final 7 plates which they regarded as being especially 
significant and full of foreboding were plainly just iconic of the 7 planets -- 
any 
halfwit should have noticed that on the bottom half of each of those plates, 
the 
dual sign-rulership of the particular planet was depicted.  How totally 
clueless!  If I recall correctly, they described the Mercury plate (the Twins 
[Gemini] and the Virgin [Virgo] seen below it) as representing the 
Antichrist, 
when I'd have viewed it as a caricature of old magus Nostradamus himself.
 
Some of the nonsense promoted in this documentary: (1) Nostradamus had some 
relationship with the Templars, who had a church (St Michael of the 
Apocalypse) within walking distance; (2) Nostradamus used a zodiac of 13 
signs, the 
13th being the constellation Ophiuchus  (straight out of Holy Blood, Holy 
Grail, PoS propaganda) between Scorpio and Sagittarius, where the Galactic 
center 
is located; and (3) the pictorial symbolism by Nostradamus reveals that he 
knew the world would end in 2012, when the ecliptic and galactic planes 
coincide at that point (which presumes the PoS knew Mayan astronomy).
 
Never mind the fact that, in the kept-safely-at-a-distance, very underplayed 
background of the documentary, we watch experts subjecting the MS. to 
scientific tests which reveal that, while the watermarked paper is identifiable 
as 
originating in the 1600s, the handwriting is in 3 different hands, the zinc in 
the ink dating one of them as after 1800, and we're asked to believe that an 
annotation added on the first page of the MS. justifies it being ascribed to 
Nostradamus instead of the 19th Century personage recorded as author.
 
Oh, and the face of OSAMA BIN LADEN is flashed onscreen at least a dozen 
times, whenever the Third ANTICHRIST (after Napoleon and Hitler) is 
mentioned.  
And, silly me, *I* thought the Antichrist was supposed to be a publicly 
celebrated man of peace, while secretly a war-maker, like GEORGE BUSH.
(What, are all New Agers right-wingers today, in contrast to the 
left-leaning mystics of the Sixties?) 
 
So blatantly misleading, as well as inaccurate, that it makes me wonder what 
the REAL AGENDA of the History Channel is nowadays, seeing that it's wasting 
so much airtime passing off pure fantasy-based speculations about curious 
artifacts as some kind of serious history (or factual journalism).  
 
Is SUPERSTITION being used in the disinformation age as a very useful 
handmaiden of FEAR?

Confederate flag spotted hanging at club where VP hunted

9:06 AM EDT, October 30, 2007

_http://www.newsday.com/news/local/wire/newyork/ny-bc-ny--cheney-hunting1030oc
t30,0,5748937.story_
(http://www.newsday.com/news/local/wire/newyork/ny-bc-ny--cheney-hunting1030oct30,0,5748937.story)

UNION VALE, N.Y. - Vice President Dick Cheney's eight-hour outing at a
secluded Hudson Valley gun club went off without incident -- except for the
Confederate flag the media spotted hanging inside a garage.

Cheney's visit Monday to Clove Valley Rod Gun Club in Dutchess County,
about 70 miles north of New York City, was made under tight security that kept
reporters and photographers well away from the vice president's hunting party.

But after Cheney's visit, a New York Daily News photographer snapped a
picture of a Confederate flag hanging inside a garage on the hunt club
property. In
the photo published in Tuesday's editions, the flag, about the size of a
pillow case, is seen covering the top of the window on a door at the back of
the
garage.

The New York Post reported the flag hung in the garage attached to the club
headquarters.

The Daily News photo was shown to the Rev. Al Sharpton, the civil rights
activist, who issued a statement demanding that the vice president denounce
the
club, and apologize for going to a club that represents lynching, hate and
murder to black people.

A phone message left with the club by The Associated Press on Tuesday morning
was not returned.

Sharpton's statement was issued hours after Cheney departed the club at 3:45
p.m. Monday for a flight out of Stewart Air National Guard Base. In a
statement issued Monday evening, Cheney spokeswoman Megan Mitchell said neither
Cheney
nor anyone on his staff saw such a flag at the hunt club.

It's not clear whether the front door of the garage that contained the flag
was even open at the time the vice president was at the club, where well-heeled
hunters shoot ducks and pheasants.

Daily News photograph Howard Simmons told the Poughkeepsie Journal that the
garage's front door was open when he snapped the photo and that the flag was
plainly visible to those standing outside.

The flag flap was minor compared with the controversy that arose in 2006
after Cheney accidentally peppered attorney Harry Whittington with birdshot
while
quail hunting in Texas. The vice president came under fire for not immediately
going public with the incident.

B-52 Nukes Headed for Iran, Not For Decommissioning: Airforce Refused
 
 
Air Force refused to fly weapons to Middle East theater 
By Wayne Madsen
Sept. 24, 2007
_http://www.oregontruthalliance.org/?q=node/245_ 
(http://www.oregontruthalliance.org/?q=node/245)  
(http://www.waynemadsenreport.com/)  
WMR has learned from U.S. and foreign intelligence sources that the B-52 
transporting six stealth AGM-129 Advanced Cruise Missiles, each armed with a 
W-80-1 nuclear warhead, on August 30, were destined for the Middle East via 
Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana. 
However, elements of the Air Force, supported by U.S. intelligence agency 
personnel, successfully revealed the ultimate destination of the nuclear 
weapons 
and the mission was aborted due to internal opposition within the Air Force 
and U.S. Intelligence Community. 
Yesterday, the Washington Post attempted to explain away the fact that 
America's nuclear command and control system broke down in an unprecedented 
manner 
by reporting that it was the result of security failures at multiple levels. 
It is now apparent that the command and control breakdown, reported as a BENT 
SPEAR incident to the Secretary of Defense and White House, was not the result 
of a command and control chain-of-command failures but the result of a 
revolt and push back by various echelons within the Air Force and intelligence 
agencies against a planned U.S. attack on Iran using nuclear and conventional
weapons. 
The Washington Post story on BENT SPEAR may have actually been an effort in 
damage control by the Bush administration. WMR has been informed by a 
knowledgeable source that one of the six nuclear-armed cruise missiles was, and 
may 
still be, unaccounted for. In that case, the nuclear reporting incident would 
have gone far beyond BENT SPEAR to a National Command Authority alert known as 
EMPTY QUIVER, with the special classification of PINNACLE. 
Just as this report was being prepared, Newsweek reported that Vice President 
Dick Cheney's recently-departed Middle East adviser, David Wurmser, told a 
small group of advisers some months ago that Cheney had considered asking 
Israel 
to launch a missile attack on the Iranian nuclear site at Natanz. Cheney 
reasoned that after an Iranian retaliatory strike, the United States would have 
ample reasons to launch its own massive attack on Iran. However, plans for 
Israel to attack Iran directly were altered to an Israeli attack on a supposed 
Syrian-Iranian-North Korean nuclear installation in northern Syria. 
WMR has learned that a U.S. attack on Iran using nuclear and conventional 
weapons was scheduled to coincide with Israel's September 6 air attack on a 
reputed Syrian nuclear facility in Dayr az-Zwar, near the village of Tal Abyad, 
in 
northern Syria, near the Turkish border. Israel's attack, code named OPERATION 
ORCHARD, was to provide a reason for the U.S. to strike Iran. The 
neo-conservative propaganda onslaught was to cite the cooperation of the George 
Bush's 
three remaining Axis of Evil states -- Syria, Iran, and North Korea -- to 
justify a sustained Israeli attack on Syria and a massive U.S. military attack 
on 
Iran. 
WMR has learned from military sources on both sides of the Atlantic that 
there was a definite connection between Israel's OPERATION ORCHARD and BENT 
SPEAR 
involving the B-52 that flew the six nuclear-armed cruise missiles from Minot 
Air Force Base in North Dakota to Barksdale. There is also a connection 
between these two events as the Pentagon's highly-classified PROJECT CHECKMATE, 
a 
compartmented U.S. Air Force program that has been working on an attack plan 
for 
Iran since June 2007,

Kucinich had UFO encounter

Tuesday, October 23, 2007

Mark Naymik

Plain Dealer Politics Writer
_http://www.cleveland.com/news/plaindealer/index.ssf?/base/news/11931286341483

(http://www.cleveland.com/news/plaindealer/index.ssf?/base/news/1193128634148360.xmlcoll=2)

Democratic presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich has claimed to have seen a
UFO, according to Shirley MacLaine in her new book, Sage-Ing While Age-Ing.
Kucinich had a close sighting over my home in Graham, Washington, when I
lived there, the actress, a close Kucinich friend, wrote. Dennis found his
encounter extremely moving. The smell of roses drew him out to my balcony
where,
when he looked up, he saw a gigantic triangular craft, silent, and observing
him.
It hovered, soundless, for 10 minutes or so, and sped away with a speed he
couldn't comprehend. He said he felt a connection in his heart and heard
directions in his mind.

(http://ads.cleveland.com/RealMedia/ads/click_nx.ads/www.cleveland.com/xml/story/nn/nnusa/@StoryAd?x)
Kucinich's campaign and congressional
representatives did not return calls and e-mail asking whether the Cleveland
Democrat, now
in his sixth congressional term, in fact saw a UFO or if there was some other
explanation for MacLaine's recollection.
MacLaine is a well-known believer of UFOs and reincarnation. And she has been
close to Kucinich for decades. MacLaine is the godmother of Kucinich's
daughter and attended Kucinich's 2005 Cleveland wedding to third wife,
Elizabeth,
who's often campaigning by his side.

MacLaine also recommended in the 1980s that Kucinich visit New Mexico
spiritual adviser Chris Griscom, whom MacLaine featured in her
then-best-selling
book, Dancing in the Light, describing how Griscom helped her communicate
with
trees. Kucinich has insisted that Griscom was not his spiritual adviser but a
teacher and a very good friend.
MacLaine, who shares Kucinich's opposition to using weapons in space, doesn't
shed any more light in her book on Kucinich's close encounter, including when
it happened. Her book goes on sale next month.
Plain Dealer Washington bureau chief Stephen Koff contributed to this report.

U.S. army chief: Iraq war has sapped ability to fight Iran
 
  By Haaretz Service  
Last update - 15:59 22/10/2007
_http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/915742.html_ 
(http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/915742.html) 

The new chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff said in an interview 
published Monday that the prolonged military campaigns in Iraq and Afghanistan 
may 
have undermined the military's ability to fight wars against major adversaries 
- including Iran. 

With the United States already heavily committed in wars in two Muslim 
countries, Joint Chiefs Chairman Admiral Mike Mullen told The New york Times 
that an 
offensive against Iran, a third Mideast Islamic state has extraordinary 
challenges and risks associated with it. He counseled against an immediate 
attack 
on Iran, saying that the military option should be a last resort. 

But Mullen warned Iran and other nations not to mistake restraint for lack 
of commitment or lack of concern or lack of capability. 
  
Because we have had such an intense focus on the Middle East and Iraq and 
Afghanistan, there is risk associated with those other parts of the world, 
Admiral Mullen said. 

Asked whether the American military should aim at sites inside Iran if 
intelligence indicated that such action could stem the flow of bombs into Iraq, 
he 
said the risks could be very, very high. 

We're in a conflict in two countries out there right now, he added. We 
have to be incredibly thoughtful about the potential of in fact getting into a 
conflict with a third country in that part of the world. 

Speaking of his visits to soldiers and marines in Iraq and Afghanistan in 
recent weeks, Mullen said: They're tired. They've been doing unbelievably 
great 
work for our country. And we need to make sure we take care of them and their 
families. 

Regarding prolonged and repeated deployments for the ground forces in Iran 
and Afghanistan, he said, The ground forces are not broken, but they are 
breakable.

Leo Strauss' Philosophy of Deception
 
By Jim Lobe, AlterNet
Posted on May 19, 2003, Printed on October 23, 2007
http://www.alternet.org/story/15935/
What would you do if you wanted to topple Saddam Hussein, but your 
intelligence agencies couldn't find the evidence to justify a war? 
A follower of Leo Strauss may just hire the right kind of men to get the 
job done – people with the intellect, acuity, and, if necessary, the political 
commitment, polemical skills, and, above all, the imagination to find the 
evidence that career intelligence officers could not detect. 
The right man for Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz, suggests Seymour 
Hersh in his recent New Yorker article entitled 'Selective Intelligence,' was 
Abram Shulsky, director of the Office of Special Plans (OSP) – an agency 
created specifically to find the evidence of WMDs and/or links with Al Qaeda, 
piece it together, and clinch the case for the invasion of Iraq. 
Like Wolfowitz, Shulsky is a student of an obscure German Jewish political 
philosopher named Leo Strauss who arrived in the United States in 1938. Strauss 
taught at several major universities, including Wolfowitz and Shulsky's alma 
mater, the University of Chicago, before his death in 1973. 
Strauss is a popular figure among the neoconservatives. Adherents of his 
ideas include prominent figures both within and outside the administration. 
They 
include 'Weekly Standard' editor William Kristol; his father and indeed the 
godfather of the neoconservative movement, Irving Kristol; the new 
Undersecretary 
of Defense for Intelligence, Stephen Cambone, a number of senior fellows at 
the American Enterprise Institute (AEI) (home to former Defense Policy Board 
chairman Richard Perle and Lynne Cheney), and Gary Schmitt, the director of the 
influential Project for the New American Century (PNAC), which is chaired by 
Kristol the Younger. 
Strauss' philosophy is hardly incidental to the strategy and mindset adopted 
by these men – as is obvious in Shulsky's 1999 essay titled Leo Strauss and 
the World of Intelligence (By Which We Do Not Mean Nous) (in Greek philosophy 
the term nous denotes the highest form of rationality). As Hersh notes in his 
article, Shulsky and his co-author Schmitt criticize America's intelligence 
community for its failure to appreciate the duplicitous nature of the regimes 
it deals with, its susceptibility to social-science notions of proof, and its 
inability to cope with deliberate concealment. They argued that Strauss's idea 
of hidden meaning, alerts one to the possibility that political life may be 
closely linked to deception. Indeed, it suggests that deception is the norm in 
political life, and the hope, to say nothing of the expectation, of 
establishing a politics that can dispense with it is the exception. 
Rule One: Deception 
It's hardly surprising then why Strauss is so popular in an administration 
obsessed with secrecy, especially when it comes to matters of foreign policy. 
Not only did Strauss have few qualms about using deception in politics, he saw 
it as a necessity. While professing deep respect for American democracy, 
Strauss believed that societies should be hierarchical – divided between an 
elite 
who should lead, and the masses who should follow. But unlike fellow elitists 
like Plato, he was less concerned with the moral character of these leaders. 
According to Shadia Drury, who teaches politics at the University of Calgary, 
Strauss believed that those who are fit to rule are those who realize there is 
no morality and that there is only one natural right – the right of the 
superior to rule over the inferior.

Lieberman’s Hawkish Iran Amendment 
Is ‘Cheney’s Fondest Pipe Dream’
 
_http://thinkprogress.org/2007/09/25/webb-kyl-lieb-iran/_ 
(http://thinkprogress.org/2007/09/25/webb-kyl-lieb-iran/) 
On the Senate floor today, Sen. Jim Webb (D-VA) made an impassioned appeal to 
his fellow senators, declaring that the _Lieberman-Kyl amendment_ 
(http://thinkprogress.org/2007/09/25/kyl-iran-fox/)  on Iran should be 
“withdrawn” 
because the “proposal is Dick Cheney’s fondest pipe dream.” Webb cautioned that 
the “cleverly-worded sense of the Congress” could be “interpreted” to “declare 
war” on Iran. He continued: 
Those who regret their vote five years ago to authorize military action in 
Iraq should think hard before supporting this approach. Because, in my view, it 
has the same potential to do harm where many are seeking to do good.
“At best, it’s a deliberate attempt to divert attention from a failed 
diplomatic policy,” said Webb. “At worst, it could be read as a backdoor method 
of 
gaining Congressional validation for military action, without one hearing and 
without serious debate.” Watch it: 
 


Webb said that amendment’s attempt to categorize the Iran’s Islamic 
Revolutionary Guard Corp as “a foreign terrorist organization” would, for all 
practical purposes, “mandate” the military option against Iran.  
“It could be read as tantamount to a declaration of war. What do we do with 
terrorist organizations? If they are involved against us, we attack them.” 
He also slammed the lack of debate and examination that was accompanying the 
amendment, saying “this is not the way to make foreign policy”:  
We haven’t had one hearing on this. I’m on the Foreign Relations Committee, I
’m on the Armed Services Committee. We are about to vote on something that 
may fundamentally change the way the United States views the Iranian military 
and we haven’t had one hearing. This is not the way to make foreign policy.  It’
s not the way to declare war.

BIG Caveat Lector!
THE WINDSOR-BUSH BLOODLINE
Or why George W. Bush is the favourite to be
President of the United States in the year 2000! 

_http://www.hiddenmysteries.org/author/icke/1999/bushbloodline.html_ 
(http://www.hiddenmysteries.org/author/icke/1999/bushbloodline.html)  
I have recently been sent a series of genealogical charts which detail a 
bloodline and its off shoots that will be highly relevant to the readers of The 
Biggest Secret. 

I had no idea of their existence when I wrote The Biggest Secret. Yet it 
reads like an index of the book and most, if not all, of the major players in 
the 
advancing agenda of global control over thousands of years. These charts are 
stunning confirmation that the same bloodlines have expanded their power out of 
the Near and Middle East of the ancient world to control the planet today, 
precisely as detailed in The Biggest Secret. For readers of The Biggest Secret 
the following will prove extremely interesting: 

This bloodline and its offshoots includes a long line of pharaohs in ancient 
Egypt, including Rameses II (1295-1228 BC), who is considered to be the 
greatest pharaoh of all. He was his country's master architect (sacred 
geometry) and 
his name can be found on almost every ancient shrine. The gold mines of Nubia 
made him rich beyond the imagination. This bloodline also includes the 
extraterrestrial-human hybrids who ruled Sumer, Babylon, Greece, and Troy, and 
which, today, rule the world. 

One common link in this bloodline is Philip of Macedonia (382-336BC),who 
married Olympias, and their son was Alexander the Great (356-323BC), a tyrant 
who 
plundered that key region of Greece, Persia, Syria, Phoenicia, Egypt, Babylon, 
the former lands of Sumer, and across into India before dying in Babylon at 
the age of 33. During his rule of Egypt he founded the city of Alexandria, one 
the greatest centers for esoteric knowledge in the ancient world. Alexander 
was taught by the Greek philosopher, Aristotle, who in turn was taught by Plato 
and he by Socrates. The bloodline and the hidden advanced knowledge have 
always gone together. 

This key bloodline comes down through the most famous Egyptian queen, 
Cleopatra (60-30BC), who married the most famous Roman Emperor, Julius Caesar, 
and 
bore him a son, who became Ptolemy XIV. She also bore twins with Mark Anthony, 
who has his own connections to this line and its many offshoots; this bloodline 
also connects to Herod the Great, the Herod of the Jesus stories, and 
continues to the Roman Piso family who, as I explain in The Biggest Secret, 
wrote 
the Gospel stories and invented the mythical figure called Jesus!!; the same 
bloodline includes Constantine the Great, the Roman Emperor who, in 325AD, 
turned Christianity, based on his ancestors' stories, into the religion we know 
today, and King Ferdinand of Spain and Queen Isabella of Castile, the sponsors 
of 
Christopher Columbus, who instigated the horrific Spanish Inquisition 
(1478-1834) in which people were tortured and burned at the stake for in any 
way 
questioning the basis of the religion their various ancestors had created. 

More than that, the most used version of the Bible was commissioned and 
sponsored by another strand in the same bloodline, King James 1st of England. 
Just 
a coincidence, nothing to worry about! The line of James, according to 
genealogy sources listed below, can be traced back to 1550 BC and beyond and 
includes 
many Egyptian pharaohs, including Rameses II. 

The bloodline moved into France and northern Europe through the Franks and 
Meroveus or Merovee, who gave his name to the Merovingian bloodline, and it 
continues with

Mother Teresa, John Paul II, and the Fast-Track Saints
by Michael Parenti

During his 26-year papacy, John Paul II elevated 483 individuals to 
sainthood, more saints than all previous popes combined, it is 
reported. One personage he beatified but did not live long enough to 
canonize was Mother Teresa, the Roman Catholic nun of Albanian 
origin who had been wined and dined by the world's rich and famous 
while hailed as a champion of the poor. The darling of the corporate 
media and western officialdom, and an object of celebrity adoration, 
Teresa was for many years the most revered woman on earth, showered 
with kudos and awarded a Nobel Peace Prize in 1979 for 
her humanitarian work and spiritual inspiration.

What usually went unreported were the vast sums she received from 
wealthy contributors, including a million dollars from convicted 
savings  loan swindler Charles Keating, on whose behalf she sent a 
personal plea for clemency to the presiding judge. She was asked by 
the prosecutor in that case to return Keating's gift because it was 
money he had stolen. She never did. She also accepted substantial 
sums given by the brutal Duvalier dictatorship that regularly stole 
from the Haitian public treasury.

Mother Teresa's hospitals for the indigent in India and elsewhere 
turned out to be hardly more than human warehouses in which 
seriously ill persons lay on mats, sometimes fifty to sixty in a 
room without benefit of adequate medical attention. Their ailments 
usually went undiagnosed. The food was nutritionally lacking and 
sanitary conditions were deplorable. There were few medical 
personnel on the premises, mostly untrained nuns and brothers.

When tending to her own ailments, however, Teresa checked into some 
of the costliest hospitals and recovery care units in the world for 
state-of-the-art treatment.

Teresa journeyed the globe to wage campaigns against divorce, 
abortion, and birth control. At her Nobel award ceremony, she 
announced that the greatest destroyer of peace is abortion. And 
she once suggested that AIDS might be a just retribution for 
improper sexual conduct.

Teresa emitted a continual flow of promotional misinformation about 
herself. She claimed that her mission in Calcutta fed over a 
thousand people daily. On other occasions she jumped the number to 
4000, 7000, and 9000. Actually her soup kitchens fed not more than 
150 people (six days a week), and this included her retinue of nuns, 
novices, and brothers. She claimed that her school in the Calcutta 
slum contained five thousand children when it actually enrolled less 
than one hundred.

Teresa claimed to have 102 family assistance centers in Calcutta, 
but longtime Calcutta resident, Aroup Chatterjee, who did an 
extensive on-the-scene investigation of her mission, could not find 
a single such center.

As one of her devotees explained, Mother Teresa is among those who 
least worry about statistics. She has repeatedly expressed that what 
matters is not how much work is accomplished but how much love is 
put into the work. Was Teresa really unconcerned about statistics? 
Quite the contrary, her numerical inaccuracies went consistently and 
self-servingly in only one direction, greatly exaggerating her 
accomplishments.

Over the many years that her mission was in Calcutta, there were 
about a dozen floods and numerous cholera epidemics in or near the 
city, with thousands perishing. Various relief

Say it isn't so...Another GOP sex scandal? Yup, Washington State
Representative Richard Curtis (R-LaCenter) was just 'busted' and like Sen.
Craig...he's
not gay.

From _KXLY_
(http://www.kxly.com/news/?sect_rank=1section_id=559story_id=15425) ,

(http://bp0.blogger.com/_7wnYDTquHw8/Ryi_VfOFvYI/A80/yjLblt4NZQo/s1600-h/Picture+3.png)
State Representative Richard Curtis says he's not gay, but
police reports and court records indicate the Republican lawmaker from
southwestern Washington dressed up in women's lingerie and met a Medical Lake
man in
a local erotic video store which led to consensual sex at a downtown hotel
and a threat to expose Curtis' activities publicly.
.
A search warrant _(video)_ (http://www.spokanetogo.com/news-video/?mgid=8860)
unsealed Tuesday morning disclosed that State Representative Richard Curtis
(R - La Center) had sex in his room at the Davenport Tower with a man
identified as Cody Castagna, 26, of Medical Lake, who he met at the Hollywood
Erotic
Boutique on October 26th.

Curtis, according to a search warrant unsealed Tuesday, went to the Hollywood
Erotic Boutique on East Sprague on October 26th at approximately 12:45 a.m.
And now for the great part,

(http://bp3.blogger.com/_7wnYDTquHw8/Ryi_lPOFvZI/A88/IoLlPjsYpdo/s1600-h/Picture+4.png)
The store clerk, who had talked with Curtis, referred to
him as The Cross-Dresser and said that during their conversations he
confirmed he was gay and was married with children at home.
.
During his visit to the video store Curtis was observed wearing women's
lingerie while receiving oral sex from an unidentified man in one of the movie
viewing booths inside the store.
hehehe. Great family values, those GOPers have, eh. They just love the
compassionate conservatism.

and a few more of the 'juicy' details,

Afterward he met Cody Castagna, and they talked about getting together at
Curtis' hotel room to have sex.

police reports confirm Curtis and Castagna had anal intercourse after which
Curtis fell asleep. Castagna, according to court records, then allegedly took
Curtis' wallet out of his jacket pocket and left the room.
It's 'Extortion Time' (another _video_
(http://www.spokanetogo.com/news-video/?mgid=8884) ),

Around 7 a.m. he called Curtis and told him he knew he was a member of the
Washington State House of Representatives and was married, that he had taken
pictures of Curtis with a camera on his cellphone and he offered to return the
wallet in exchange for $1,000.
.
The attempt to get his wallet back proved unsuccessful as Castagna called
Curtis back later on the 26th and demanded the remaining $800 from him.
Unbeknownst to Castagna at the time Curtis had already contacted Spokane police
and a
detective was present with Curtis when Castagna called again.
.
During the call Castagna not only demanded $800 for the return of Curtis'
wallet but also said the money would buy his silence, implying that without the
money he would expose Curtis' gay lifestyle to his wife. Curtis admitted to
police that if details of the incident became public he would have to tell his
wife and would need to hire a divorce attorney.

From: Vicky Davis 


This email makes me really sad.  Roy Beck is gleeful that a Democratic 
Congressman has a bill requiring employers to eVerify every potential employee 
before hiring them.   

Why is this something to be sad about?Because they (the traitors who are 
running our government) are insulting your intelligence and they are taking 
another step toward government management of the labor force.


The Problem 
The scam was relatively simple.   Allow Mexicans to flood into our country and 
pretend that we couldn't tell the difference between a hispanic American and a 
Mexican.   Cripple border patrol and ICE.  

The Solution
Step One
The eVerify system is the first step to get employers to use the Internet - 
government system to verify the legal status of an applicant.  

Step Two 
There will be crys and moans from employers that this will put them out of 
business - they will have shortages of workers.  So what the government must 
do is to establish a Guest Worker program.  (demanding a solution) 

Step Three 
There will be a system (it already exists) for employers to put in their 
requests to the government for guest workers.  The hitch will be that they 
must list the jobs for which they claim to need guest workers on the government 
job search website (this already exists too).   Listing on the government job 
search engine will eventually be a requirement for all employers just like the 
eVerify.  The reason given will be that the Labor Department needs to be able 
to assess the Labor Market demands for that particular job type.  If the 
listings show high demand over a long period of time, that would indicate that 
a shortage exists and the guest worker applications would be approved.  

At the point when all jobs must be listed, all job seekers will also register 
on the system as a matter of necessity if they hope to obtain a job.  
Otherwise, a job they might get could be given instead to an imported guest 
worker.  

For children who are in school, their information will automatically be in the 
government registry system because the computer systems for the schools and 
workforce are already integrated.   This is the cradle-to-grave national 
workforce management system designed by Marc Tucker of the NCEE as described in 
a letter to Hillary Clinton in 1992. 

End Game
At this point, the Labor Department has full control over the labor market and 
will be able to set wages by controlling the supply of labor in the market.   
They will also have the control mechanism for people by allowing or inhibiting 
their access to gainful employment.  


This is a classic Hegelian Dialectic which is being used to transform the 
United States to a communist system to compete with the COMMUNIST Chinese 
slave labor system.  


I hope to God you're smarter than they think you are.

U.S. federal prosecutors suppressed critical evidence in trial of 1993 World

Justice Department sat on volumes of translations of Arabic telephone

Sudan-based Muslim militants who once worked for U.S. intelligence in the
mujaheddin war against the Soviet Union in Afghanistan.

Afghan Arab muhajeddin forces, including those loyal to Osama bin Laden, was
never introduced into the trial of the Brooklyn- and Jersey City-based based

Dollar hits another record low vs. euro
Weak dollar likely to be hot topic at meeting of G7 finance ministers as 
European officials worry about hit to exports.
October 19 2007: 5:52 AM EDT
_http://money.cnn.com/2007/10/19/markets/dollar_vs_euro.ap/index.htm_ 
(http://money.cnn.com/2007/10/19/markets/dollar_vs_euro.ap/index.htm) 


BERLIN (AP) -- The dollar hit a new all time-low against the 13-nation euro 
Friday, breaking through the previous record, set a day earlier, as the U.S. 
currency remained under pressure. 
In morning European trading, the euro bought US$1.4319 - surpassing the mark 
of $1.4310 set Thursday - before settling back slightly to $1.4306. 
 
 
 
 
The euro bought $1.4293 in late New York trading on Thursday. The British 
pound climbed to $2.0472 on Friday from $2.0448 in New York the day before, 
while 
the dollar slipped to purchase 114.88 Japanese yen from 115.65 on Thursday.
 




The further dip in the dollar followed another weak economic report from 
Washington.
Currency will be a hotly debated topic at an annual G-7 meeting of central 
bank heads and finance ministers to be held in Washington Friday, according to 
Michael Woolfolk, senior currency strategist at the Bank of New York. 
The fact that the euro has risen suggests that the negative dollar sentiment 
is strong and persistent, due to recent deterioration in interest rate 
differentials and growth differentials, Woolfolk said. 
European officials are worried that the euro's rise against the dollar will 
hurt exports to the U.S. and China. The European Central Bank is expected to 
raise interest rates by January, while in the United States, the Federal 
Reserve 
will likely reduce interest rates at the end of the month, Woolfolk said. 
The U.S. Labor Department reported Thursday that applications for jobless 
benefits hit 337,000 last week - up 28,000 from the week before and the biggest 
one-week surge since claims jumped 42,000 in the week of Feb. 10. 
The jobless rate increase in the U.S. was more than four times the gain of 
6,000 that economists had been expecting and was taken as a possible sign that 
the labor market is starting to weaken under the weight of a severe housing down
turn and tight credit markets. 
Earlier this week, both U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and Fed 
Chairman Ben Bernanke warned that the housing crisis was likely to last longer 
than 
had been expected. 
Already on Wednesday, the U.S. Commerce Department said the construction of 
new homes and apartments plunged to a 14-year low in September, while the 
National Association of Home Builders' survey of builder confidence fell in 
early 
October to the lowest level seen in the 22-year history of the survey.

Brutal selloff on Wall Street
Dow down around 367 points, its third worst day of the year, on fears about

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Stocks tanked Friday as worries about more 
problems in the bank sector, slower corporate earnings growth, the weak dollar, 
and 
record-high oil prices all came to a head. 
The Dow Jones industrial average lost around 367 points, according to early 
tallies, seeing its third-biggest point loss of the year since the steep 
selloff in early August in the midst of the credit and mortgage market mess.

Hillary's Mystery Money Men
by RUSS BAKER  ADAM FEDERMAN 
[from the November 5, 2007 issue] 
_http://www.thenation.com/doc/20071105/baker_federman_ 
(http://www.thenation.com/doc/20071105/baker_federman)  
In the Clintons' pursuit of power, there is no such thing as a strange 
bedfellow. One recently exposed inamorata was Norman Hsu, the mysterious 
businessman 
from Hong Kong who brought in $850,000 to Hillary Clinton's campaign before 
being unmasked as a fugitive. Her campaign dismissed Hsu as someone who'd 
slipped through the cracks of an otherwise unimpeachable system for vetting 
donors, 
and perhaps he was.  
The same cannot be said for the notorious financier Alan Quasha, whose 
involvement with Clinton is at least as substantial -- and still under wraps.  
Political junkies will recall Quasha as the controversial figure who bailed 
out George W. Bush's failing oil company in 1986, folding Bush into his 
company, Harken Energy, thus setting him on the path to a lucrative and 
high-profile 
position as an owner of the Texas Rangers baseball team, and the presidency. 
The persistently unprofitable Harken --many of whose board members, connected 
to powerful foreign interests and the intelligence community, nevertheless 
profited enormously-- faced intense scrutiny in the early 1990s and again 
during 
Bush's first term.  
Now Quasha is back -- on the other side of the aisle. Operating below the 
radar, he entered Hillary Clinton's circle even before she declared her 
candidacy 
by quietly arranging for the hire of Clinton confidant and longtime 
Democratic Party money man Terry McAuliffe at one of his companies. During the 
interregnum between McAuliffe's chairmanship of the Democratic Party and the 
time he 
officially joined Clinton's campaign, Quasha's firm set McAuliffe up with a 
salary and opened a Washington office for him.  
Just a few years earlier, McAuliffe had publicly criticized Bush for his 
financial dealings with Harken, disparaging the company's Enron-like 
accounting. 
Yet in 2005 McAuliffe accepted this cushy perch with Quasha's newly acquired 
investment firm, Carret Asset Management, and even brought along former Clinton 
White House business liaison Peter O'Keefe, who had been his senior aide at 
the Democratic National Committee. McAuliffe remained with the company until he 
became national chair of Hillary's presidential bid, and O'Keefe never left. 
McAuliffe's connection to Quasha has, until now, never been noted.  
Another strong link between Quasha and Clinton is Quasha's business partner, 
Hassan Nemazee, a top Hillary fundraiser who was trotted out to defend her 
during the Hsu episode -- in which the clothing manufacturer was unmasked as a 
swindler who seemingly funneled illegal contributions through donors of 
modest 
means.  
In June, by liquidating a blind trust, the Clintons sought to distance 
themselves from any financial entanglements that might embarrass the campaign. 
Clinton spokesman Howard Wolfson argued that the couple had gone above and 
beyond 
what was legally required in order to avoid even the hint of a conflict of 
interest. But throughout their political careers, Bill and Hillary Clinton 
have repeatedly associated with people whose objectives seemed a million miles 
from a place called Hope. Among these Alan Quasha and his menagerie 
--including Saudi frontmen, a foreign dictator, figures with intelligence ties 
and a 
maze of companies and offshore funds-- stand out.  
That Hillary Clinton's campaign is involved with this particular cast of 
characters should give people pause, says John Moscow, a former Manhattan 
prosecutor. In the late 1980s and early '90s

Nancy Pelosi,
Public Enemy Number One

Wednesday, 17 October 2007
by BAR editor and senior columnist Margaret Kimberley

http://www.blackagendareport.com/index.php? 
option=com_contenttask=viewid=397Itemid=44

Her machinations since Democrats took over the U.S. House in  
January 2007 show that Speaker Nancy Pelosi isn't scared of the  
Republicans - her eagerness to cooperate with the Bush regime is  
matched only by her incompetence in leading Congress. Pelosi and  
her leadership clique have never had the slightest intention of  
seriously opposing George Bush, since they are quite content with a  
status quo of endless war, half of New Orleans abandoned, true  
universal health care on perpetual hold, and a growing police  
state. Every constituency of the Democratic Party has been  
betrayed, with the complicity of Pelosi and her crowd. And there  
must be pay-back for back-stabbing.

If they were poor and they were sleeping on my sidewalk, they'd be  
arrested for loitering, but because they have 'Impeach Bush' across  
their chest, it's the First Amendment. - Nancy Pelosi

The Democratic Speaker of the House would like to arrest activists  
for loitering. Her Quisling like behavior has led protesters to her  
front door in San Francisco, but she has only herself to blame for  
the inconveniences she and her rich neighbors now suffer. The great  
unwashed masses have a right to assemble at her home, her office,  
or anywhere else they choose in order to exercise what is left of  
their right to speak freely. Her own words show her level of  
contempt for the democratic process.

It is clear that Nancy Pelosi's reign as Speaker has been an  
absolute disaster for the Democratic party and for the entire  
nation. Her eagerness to cooperate with the Bush regime is matched  
only by her incompetence in leading Congress. Under her watch,  
Congress gave Alberto Gonzales, on his way to riding out of town on  
a rail, a significant victory by expanding FISA regulations to  
allow warrantless surveillance of American citizens.

Her eagerness to cooperate with the Bush regime is matched only by  
her incompetence in leading Congress.

The story of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act debacle has  
been blamed on Bush. It is true that he once again lied about a  
terror threat, but it is not true that Pelosi and the rest of the  
Democrats were innocently stampeded. The Democrats had every  
intention of caving from the very beginning.

Pelosi and the rest of the leadership promised the ACLU and other  
civil liberties groups that they wouldn't pass a bill without first  
investigating the extent of White House lawbreaking and without  
consulting them first. They did no such thing.

As an ACLU lobbyist put it, They turned around and f***ed us over,  
and the Constitution, all at once.

Disappointment in the Democrats, pleas to grow a spine miss the  
point entirely. Pelosi and her clique have no interest in  
Democracy.  They go through the flimsiest pretense of opposing Bush  
when they have no interest in doing so.  Her goal is to preserve  
the status quo, not to overturn it.

Nancy Pelosi now has stated publicly what she thinks of us, the  
citizens of this country. We are an irritant to be tolerated, not  
people with rights that must be respected.

Pelosi is an omen, a warning that acceptance of Democratic Party  
actions is the first step on the road to political hell. It is a  
lesson that must be learned now, before President Hillary Clinton  
takes office.

They go through the flimsiest pretense of opposing Bush when they  
have no interest in doing so.

The fix is definitely in for Clinton to win the Democratic party  
nomination. The Democratic candidates' fundraising prowess versus  
Republicans is a sign that the big money political donors of both  
parties are all betting on the Democratic horse.

Clinton's ascension to the throne now reserved for family dynasties  
should not be accepted as an absolute victory. The middle of the  
road after Bush is still right wing. Triangulation this time  
around means more war, New Orleans destroyed and deserted, and more  
dirty dealings in Congress.

Pelosi, Harry Reid and the rest of what passes for Congressional  
leadership have perfected their criminal enterprise. Every act of  
treachery is followed by lame excuses for inaction. The truly  
spineless ones, progressives wallowing in denial, foolishly whine,  
asking each other what is wrong when the answer stares them in the  
face. The Democratic party is complicit in killing democracy.

Civil liberties groups and antiwar groups must finally realize  
that they can only play

Bush Quips He Might Stay in Power (Threat Level Plays Along)
By Kevin Poulsen October 17, 2007 | 2:47:58 PMCategories: Election '08   
At a press briefing this morning that touched on issues like the White House's 
extrajudicial wiretapping program and torture policies, the president was asked 
a question about Vladimir Putin's plan to hold on to power when his term as 
Russian president runs out. 

  Reporter: Mr. President, following up on Vladimir Putin for a moment, he said 
recently that next year, when he has to step down according to the 
constitution, as the president, he may become prime minister; in effect keeping 
power and dashing any hopes for a genuine democratic transition there ...

  Bush: I've been planning that myself. 

Ahahahahaha. That's funny. It's a great comedian who can give voice to what 
everyone else is just thinking. 

Despite the president's occasional contempt for the law, THREAT LEVEL doesn't 
believe that he's going to declare a state of emergency and cancel the 2008 
election. But in July, we filed some FOIA requests anyway. We asked five 
Justice Department offices for documents produced or revised after August 2001 
addressing the feasibility, advisability or lawfulness of deferring, 
rescheduling or canceling a U.S. national election. 

The Office of Legal Counsel responded in nine days: It has no documents fitting 
that description. This is the office specifically tasked with advising the 
president on legal matters, and which infamously  belched out a memo 
sanctioning torture in 2002. 

This was, by the way, the fastest FOIA response I've ever gotten -- the speed 
suggesting the proposition was so ludicrous that it demanded swift repudiation. 
(Or that the office wanted to dispose of the FOIA before the White House went 
and asked for election postponement options). The Office of the Attorney 
General responded late last month (.pdf), also reporting no records found. 
Ditto the Office of the Associate Attorney General. 

Only two offices haven't given the all-clear: The Office of the Deputy Attorney 
General is still looking into it. The National Security Division says it can't 
even estimate when I might get a response, because there are 14 unrelated FOIA 
requests ahead of mine.

That means I'll probably hear back sometime in late 2009, by which time Bush 
won't even be in office any more. Unless he is. Ahahahahaha. Just kidding.

Detailed Strike-on-Iran Plan Revealed 
Monday, October 01, 2007 - FreeMarketNews.com
_http://rawstory.com//news/2007/Seymour_Hersh_War_with_Iran_will_0930.html_ 
(http://rawstory.com//news/2007/Seymour_Hersh_War_with_Iran_will_0930.html) 

The only thing different about the Bush Administration's rhetoric about Iran 
and statements made regarding Iraq before the US invasion in 2003 are the 
words chosen, says journalist Seymour Hersh. 
They've only changed their rhetoric. The name of the game used to be nuclear 
threat, Hersh said on CNN's Late Edition with Wolf Blitzer, adding a moment 
later, They've come to the realization that it's not selling, it isn't 
working. The American people aren't worried about Iran as a nuclear threat 
certainly 
as they were about Iraq. So they've switched, really. 
The Bush Administration is all but set to authorize a campaign of limited, 
surgical airstrikes against Iranian targets, Hersh reports in the New Yorker's 
latest edition. 
Instead of hitting the various [nuclear] facilities we know that exist, 
instead they're going to hit the Iranians as payback for hitting us [in Iraq], 
Hersh told Blitzer in the CNN interview. 
Such targets, Hersh says, would include Iran's Revolutionary Guard 
headquarters and other sites of Iran's alleged support for the insurgency in 
Iraq.

Israel unhappy with U.S. plan for Iran

(http://www.jta.org/cgi-bin/iowa/breaking/104414.html) 
The United States reportedly has a plan for attacking Iran, but Israel 
considers it insufficient. 
The Bush administration this summer revived a long-standing contingency plan 
for military strikes against Iran with a view to retaliating for Tehran's 
support for the Iraqi insurgency, the New Yorker magazine reported in its 
latest 
edition. 
According to correspondent Seymour Hersh, the plan was shared with U.S. 
allies including Israel, which raised objections to the relative lack of 
Iranian 
nuclear facilities on a target roster that instead focused on military training 
camps. 
But Hersh quoted a former U.S. official as saying that Israel was reassured 
that the more limited target list would still serve the goal of 
counter-proliferation by decapitating the leadership of the Revolutionary 
Guards, who are 
believed to have direct control over the nuclear-research program.

Britain is ready to sign up to a bombing campaign on Iran as revenge for the 
shame of the Navy hostage taking, it was claimed today.  
According to an investigation by leading American journalist Seymour Hersh, 
the UK is poised to join any US-led action against the rogue state.  
In an in-depth report, numerous American sources are quoted as saying 
President George Bush is gearing up for surgical bombing raids which would 
target 
Revolutionary Guard bases and anti-aircraft surface-to-air missiles inside 
Iran.

Giuliani: Preparedness key, even if aliens attack
By The Associated Press | October 14, 2007

(http://www.boston.com/news/local/new_hampshire/articles/2007/10/14/giuliani_preparedness_key_even_if_aliens_attack/
)

EXETER, N.H. --Presidential hopeful Rudy Giuliani on Sunday said preparedness
will be key for all crises, even an attack from outer space.

During a town hall meeting in Exeter, a young questioner asked the former New
York mayor about his plan to protect Earth.

If (there's) something living on another planet and it's bad and it comes
over here, what would you do? the boy asked.
Giuliani, grin on his face, said it was the first time he's been asked about
an intergalactic attack.
Of all the things that can happen in this world, we'll be prepared for that,
yes we will. We'll be prepared for anything that happens, said Giuliani, who
spent the day campaigning in key early voting state.
Being prepared is a theme that runs through the campaign of Giuliani, the
mayor during the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks in New York.
The boy's question let Giuliani take a lighthearted turn as he wrapped up his
answer on emergency preparedness.
This could be the new Steven Spielberg, he said. You want to be a science
fiction writer or a scientist?
The boy replied he wants to be a sculptor.
Then Giuliani asked the audience for another question: Shall we take one
question about this planet?

'A Coup Has Occurred'
By Daniel Ellsberg
09/26/07 

ICH -- September 26, 2007 (Text of a speech delivered September 20, 2007) -- I
think nothing has higher priority than averting an attack on Iran, which I think
will be accompanied by a further change in our way of governing here that in
effect will convert us into what I would call a police state.

If there's another 9/11 under this regime â¦ it means that they switch on full
extent all the apparatus of a police state that has been patiently constructed,
largely secretly at first but eventually leaked out and known and accepted by 
the
Democratic people in Congress, by the Republicans and so forth.

Will there be anything left for N.S.A. to increase its surveillance of us? â¦ 
They may be to the limit of their technical capability now, or they may not.  
But
if theyâre not now they will be after another 9/11.

And I would say after the Iranian retaliation to an American attack on Iran, you
will then see an increased attack on Iran -- an escalation -- which will be also
accompanied by a total suppression of dissent in this country, including
detention camps.

It's a little hard for me to distinguish the two contingencies; they could come
together.  Another 9/11 or an Iranian attack in which Iran's reaction against
Israel, against our shipping, against our troops in Iraq above all, possibly in
this country, will justify the full panoply of measures that have been prepared
now, legitimized, and to some extent written into law.  â¦

This is an unusual gang, even for Republicans. [But] I think that the successors
to this regime are not likely to roll back the assault on the Constitution.  
They
will take advantage of it, they will exploit it.

Will Hillary Clinton as president decide to turn off N.S.A. after the last five
years of illegal surveillance?  Will she deprive her administration

SAMUEL HINCKLEY AND SARAH SOOLE
So far, no sign that Obama is related to Hillary
September 9, 2007
BY _SCOTT FORNEK_ (mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]) Political Editor
_http://www.suntimes.com/news/politics/obama/familytree/545460,BSX-News-wotree
a09.article_
(http://www.suntimes.com/news/politics/obama/familytree/545460,BSX-News-wotreea09.article)

It sure would be an awkward family reunion. But, believe it or not, Barack
Obama is related to both President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney.
OK, distantly related: Obama and Bush are 11th cousins.
That's because they share the same
great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandparents --
Samuel Hinckley and Sarah Soole Hinckley of
17th century Massachusetts.
That means Obama and former President George Herbert Walker Bush are 10th
cousins once removed.
Obama is related to Cheney through Mareen Duvall, a 17th century immigrant
from France.
Mareen and Susannah Duvall were Obama's
great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandparents and Cheney's
great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandparents.
That makes Obama and Cheney ninth cousins once removed.
Cheney and Bush are related to one another by a completely different common
ancestor.
We leave it to you to figure out their relationship.
-
from The Illuminoids, by Neil Wilgus, 1978, Sun Publishing (Pocket Books
NY)
In his expose of the Great Seal, [William Guy] Carr [in
Pawns of the Game] implies that there is something suspicious
about the fact that [John] Adams, who supposedly helped design
the [Great Seal of the United States], and [Franklin D.]
Roosevelt, who put it on the dollar bill, were related.
If this is evidence of an Illuminati conspiracy, as Carr
would have it, then a glance at the _Yipster Times_, Fall/Winter
1975, should provide enough evidence to cinch the case: How to
Become President Without Really Trying, by Michael P. is an eye-
opening report on the genealogical research done by Michael P.
Merlie at the University of Wisconsin.
The First Family: Presidential Kinship and Its Theoretical
Implications, Michael P. Merlie and Edward T.
Silva
Of the 37 presidents before Jimmy Carter (39th because
Grover Cleveland is counted twice) 21 were close relatives,
Merlie shows. And this doesn't include the related-by-marriage
link between Richard Nixon and the Eisenhower family, or, through
Nixon's other daughter, linkage to the Cox and Livingston clans
and President James Monroe, Zachary Taylor and Taylor's third
cousin, James Madison. The same family tree can also claim the
president of the Confederacy, Merlie reports, because Jefferson
Davis was Zachary Taylor's son-in-law.
Following Carr's implied line of reasoning, this would link
Nixon with the Illuminati since Monroe, Merlie says, is related
to the Adamses and the Roosevelts through a minister named Thomas
Shephard. And there are other families which also produced
multiple presidents, including the three cousins, Franklin
Pierce, James Garfield and Grover Cleveland. In the 224
ancestors and descendants needed to connect he 21 presidents,
Merlie found 13 Roosevelts, 14 Tylers and 16 Coolidges as well as
numerous Clevelands and other upper-crust families.
Perhaps the most impressive family tree, however, is the one
which includes Thomas Jefferson (Carr's other Illuminati) and
William Henry Harrison, whom Merlie says were very near cousins.
Jefferson and Harrison, along with Andrew Jackson and John Tyler,
were descended from the same man -- William Armistead, a large
Virginia landholder of the 1600s. In addition

“I believe (Iran wants) to have capacity, the knowledge, to have a nuclear
weapon,’’ Bush said. “And I believe it’s in the world’s interest to keep them
from doing so… We’ve got a leader in Iran who has announced that he wants to
destroy Israel. It seems like, if you’re interested in avoiding World War III,
you ought to be interested in preventing them from having a nuclear weapon.’’

As for Putin’s plans to remain [in office but] as prime minister:
I've been planning that myself,'' Bush joked.

“I have no idea what he’s going to do,’’ Bush said in a more serious vein. “
I asked him when I saw him in Australia… I tried to get it out of him. He was
wily. He wouldn’t tip his hand… I’ll tip mine. I’m going to work hard to
the finish. I’m going to sprint to the finish line, and then you’ll find me in
Crawford.’’

Inquiry urged on Hunt Oil contract in Iraq
Democrats say Bush ties may have led to Iraq oil contract
10:48 PM CDT on Monday, October 15, 2007
By DAVE MICHAELS / The Dallas Morning News
_http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/bus/industries/energy/stories/101
607dnbushuntdeal.34d344b.html_
(http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/bus/industries/energy/stories/101607dnbushuntdeal.34d344b.html)

WASHINGTON – Democratic lawmakers moved Monday toward investigating Hunt
Oil's oil exploration contract in Iraq, saying the company's ties to President
Bush raised questions about whether it had insider information that helped it
reach the deal.
U.S. Rep. Henry Waxman, chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform
Committee, and U.S. Rep. Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio, asked Hunt to turn over all
Iraq-related communication with the U.S. government by Nov. 2.
The lawmakers also demanded that Ray Hunt, Hunt Oil's chief executive, submit
copies of information he may have received about Iraq as a member of Mr.
Bush's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board.
A Hunt spokeswoman said the company would cooperate with the request for
certain limited information.
Spokeswoman Jeanne Phillips said the company's judgment to explore for oil in
the Kurdish region of Iraq was made without U.S. government advice.
As we have stated before, our policy as a company is to act independently
when determining where to explore for oil and gas around the world, Ms.
Phillips said in a prepared statement.
Mr. Hunt, 64, has not talked about his service on the intelligence board,
which meets about six times a year. Its members, all presidential appointees,
have security clearances, and much of their work is classified.
Former board members and intelligence experts said its members don't often
deal with specific intelligence.
Instead, they focus on broader concerns, such as whether one agency is
cooperating with another or how a training program is working.
Their job is to advise the president about the efficiency of the
intelligence systems and where things need to be changed, said Arthur S.
Hulnick, a CIA
veteran who is now an associate professor of international relations at Boston
University.
It is more management than substantive.
That said, members must study intelligence-gathering efforts if they are
expected to judge how the system works, Mr. Hulnick said.
They clearly have to see it – things like estimates and daily reports,
finished intelligence and analyzed intelligence, he said.
Although Mr. Waxman's committee has subpoena power, the lawmakers did not
indicate whether they would compel Hunt officials to testify.
We are in the information-gathering stage, said Natalie Laber, a
spokeswoman for Mr. Kucinich. Before we hold hearings, we gather information.

Mr. Waxman, D-Calif., has held a series of contentious, Iraq-related hearings
in recent months, including one at which Democrats grilled Blackwater, the
State Department's private security contractor. Members also investigated
corruption in the Iraqi government.
Last month, Mr. Bush said he was concerned about Hunt's deal if it
jeopardized Iraq's ability to pass a national oil-sharing law. In their letter
to Hunt,
Mr. Waxman and Mr. Kucinich asserted that Hunt's deal may have undermined
U.S. national policy of working toward the passage of an oil revenue sharing
plan.
Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's oil minister has called Hunt's deal
illegal. Congressional Democrats have jumped into the fray, saying Hunt Oil
signed its deal with the Kurdistan Regional Government because it has insider
information about the future

When America Went Fascist
by _Chris Rowthorn_ (http://www.smirkingchimp.com/user/chris_rowthorn)  | Sep 
25 2007 - 9:48am |   
_http://www.smirkingchimp.com/thread/10121_

Fascism: a system of government marked by centralization of authority under 
a dictator
-- The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language: Fourth Edition. 
2000 
It is a truism in the blogosphere that one more terrorist attack will turn 
America into a fascist state. People speculate about what fascism in America 
will look like, or how they might fight it. Others boast that they plan to flee 
the country ahead of the coming fascist takeover of the United States. One 
cannot read these posts without a sense of bitter irony, because one thing is 
clear to those who are watching carefully: 
The United States of America is already a fascist state. 
The United States turned fascist on December 11, 2000. On that day, the 
Supreme Court essentially appointed George W. Bush president of the United 
States, 
stopping the recount of Florida votes, and, hence, the democratic process. The 
justices of the court then slipped away by night, ashamed of their role in 
murdering America's great experiment in democratic rule. 
The Supreme Court decision of December 11, 2000 is the modern American 
equivalent to German President Hindenburg's swearing in of Hitler as chancellor 
of 
Germany on January 30, 1933. By swearing in Hitler as chancellor, Hindenburg 
set in motion a process which led to the Nazi dictatorship and World War II. In 
the case of the Nazis, the Reichstag fire of February 27, 1933 was the 
catalyst they needed to cement their grip on power. In the case of Bush and his 
backers, the tragedy of September 11, 2001 was the catalyst they needed to 
complete 
their full takeover of the American government. 
When one looks at present-day America and reads plaintive musings about if 
and when America will turn fascist, it is useful to ask oneself the following 
question: When do you think the average German realized that he or she was 
living under a fascist dictatorship? How about the Japanese or Italians of the 
same 
period? Do you think that Hitler, Mussolini or Tojo made a public 
announcement to the effect of, Dear Citizens: Please be advised that you no 
longer have 
any rights or political power. We have taken control of the government. 
Opposition and resistance are futile and will be punished.   
The fact is, most of the good citizens of these countries clung desperately 
to the notion that it was business as usual long after constitutional 
government was dead and buried. Sure, they knew that their governments were a 
little 
further to the right than normal, but as long as they kept earning money and 
eating well, they ignored the grim realities of fascism. 
It's easy to understand why: the good citizens weren't members of 
officially scapegoated groups or political activists, and thus they never felt 
the iron 
first of fascism. It's not like the government just suddenly started rounding 
up people at random and trucking them off to camps and executing them. No, it 
was only the bad ones who were carted off. It was the John Walker Lindhs, 
the Jose Padillas, the illegal immigrants and the Muslim Americans of their day 
who were carted off. 
In fact, for the average citizen of Germany, Japan or Italy, it was only when 
the military adventures of their fascist governments started to go seriously 
awry did the reality dawn on them. Until then, if anything, they merely felt 
the stirrings of extreme patriotism and perhaps even satisfaction as their 
countries expanded outward. Indeed, for

FBI Puts Antiwar Protesters

Two well-respected US peace activists, CODEPINK and Global Exchange cofounder
Medea Benjamin and retired Colonel and diplomat Ann Wright, were denied entry
into Canada o issues at the invitation of the Toronto Stop the War Coalition.
At the Buffalo-Niagara Falls Bridge they were detained, questioned and denied
entry.

In my case, the border guard pulled up a file showing that I had been
arrested at the US Mission to the UN where, on International Women's Day, a
group of
us had tried to deliver a peace petition signed by 152,000 women around the
world, says Benjamin. For this, the Canadians labeled me a criminal and
refused to allow me in the country.

The FBI's placing of peace activists on an international criminal database
is blatant political intimidation of US citizens opposed to Bush administration
policies, says Colonel Wright, who was also Deputy US Ambassador in four
countries. The Canadian government should certainly not accept this FBI
database
as the criteria for entering the country.

Both Wright and Benjamin plan to request their files from the FBI through the
Freedom of Information Act and demand that arrests for peaceful, non-violent
actions be expunged from international records. It's outrageous that Canada
is turning away peacemakers protesting a war that does not have the support of
either US or Canadian citizens, says Benjamin.

In the past, Canada has always welcomed peace activists with open arms. This
new policy, obviously a creature of the Bush administration, is shocking and
we in the US and Canada must insist that it be overturned. Four members of the
Canadian Parliament--Peggy Nash, Libby Davies, Paul Dewar and Peter Julian--
expressed outrage that the peace activists were barred from Canada and vow to
change this policy.

Ann Wright told OpEdNews that this was the second time the two Code Pink
activists had been turned away from the border, the first event ocurring on
August
19th.

Wright explained, We decided to go to Canadian border to push the envelope
to see if the Canadian Gov would not let us into Canada again until we had been
criminally rehabilitated.

Wright told OpEdNews We were told (by the Canadian border agents) if we
tried to enter Canada again, we would be officially deported from the country,
which is big trouble. 'We've warned you not to come back until you are
criminally rehabilitated.'

To be criminally rehabilitated, they would have to do a huge amount of
paperwork and state they were no longer going to commit the crimes they were
convicted of.

Wright asserted, We will never be criminally rehabilitated since we intend
to continue to engage in non-violent peaceful protest of Bush administration
policies, particular the war on Iraq and we intend to peacefully and
nonviolently protest all of these until they end. They can lead to arrests for
civil
disobedience, like refusing to move from the fence in front of the White House
or
standing up and speaking at Congressional

NIST Admits Total Collapse Of Twin Towers Unexplainable
Implicitly acknowledges controlled demolition only means by which towers 
could have fallen at free fall speed
 
Paul Joseph Watson
_Prison Planet_ (http://www.prisonplanet.com/index.html) , October 16, 2007 
_http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/october2007/161007_nist_admits.htm_ 
(http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/october2007/161007_nist_admits.htm)


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The National Institute for Standards and Technology has been forced to admit 
that the total free-fall collapse of the twin towers cannot be explained after 
an exhaustive scientific study, implicitly acknowledging that controlled 
demolition is the only means by which the buildings could have come down. 
In a recent letter (_PDF link_ (http://www.911proof.com/NIST.pdf) ) to 9/11 
victim's family representatives Bill Doyle and Bob McIlvaine, NIST states, We 
are unable to provide a full explanation of the total collapse. 
A 10,000 page scientific study only offers theories as to how the collapse 
initiation proceeded and fails to address how it was possible for part of a 
WTC structure to fall through the path of most resistance at freefall speed, 
completely violating the accepted laws of physics.  
 
 
In addition, NIST's own studies confirmed that virtually none of the steel in 
either tower reached temperatures hotter than 500 degrees. The point at which 
steel weakens is 1000 degrees and melting point is reached at 1,500 degrees, 
according to NIST itself.



 
NIST'S 10,000-page report purports to explain what it calls collapse 
initiation -- the loss of several floors' vertical support, writes Kevin 
Barrett 
of Scholars for 9/11 Truth. In order to dream up this preposterous scenario, 
NIST had to ignore its own tests that showed that virtually none of the steel 
got hotter than 500 degrees f. It had to claim that somehow the planes took out 
many core columns, despite the fact that only a direct hit by an engine would 
have been likely to do so, and that the chances of this happening even once 
are fairly low. It had to preposterously allege that the plane that nicked the 
corner of the South Tower took out more core columns than the one that hit the 
North Tower almost dead center. It had to tweak all the parameters till they 
screamed bloody murder and say that the steel was far weaker than it actually 
was, the fire was far hotter than it actually was, the sagging was far greater 
than it actually was, and so on. And so NIST hallucinated a 
computer-generated fantasy scenario for collapse initiation--the failure of a 
few floors. 
But how do you get from the failure of a few floors to total collapse at 
free-fall speed of the entire structure? The short answer: You don't. Anyone 
with 
the slightest grasp of the laws of physics understands that even if all of 
the vertical supports on a few floors somehow failed catastrophically at 
exactly 
the same moment--a virtually impossible event, but one necessary to explain 
why the Towers would come straight down rather than toppling sideways--the top 
part of the building could not fall THROUGH the still-intact, highly robust 
lower part of the building, straight through the path of most resistance, just 
as fast as it would have fallen through thin air. 
Thus total free-fall collapse, even given NIST's ridiculous initiation 
scenario, is utterly impossible. The probability of it happening is exactly 
equal 
to the probability of the whole building suddenly falling upward and landing 
on the moon, concludes Barrett.

 
NIST have yet to properly address the sudden freefall collapse of WTC 
Building 7, which imploded on the late

Alabama Reopening Fallout Shelters

By JAY REEVES
AP, 2007-09-28 00:10:29
_http://news.aol.com/story/ar/_a/alabama-city-reopening-fallout-shelters/20070
927171609990001?ncid=NWS000101_

)
(http://news.aol.com/nation)

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (Sept. 27) - In an age of al-Qaida, sleeper cells and the
threat of nuclear terrorism, Huntsville is dusting off its Cold War manual to
create the nation's most ambitious fallout-shelter plan, featuring an abandoned
mine big enough for 20,000 people to take cover underground.

A fallout shelter sign is seen Sept. 19 in Huntsville, Ala. Fearing a nuclear
strike by terrorists, officials are working to identify potential shelters
for 300,000 people in the city and surrounding county.

Others would hunker down in college dorms, churches, libraries and research
halls that planners hope will bring the community's shelter capacity to
300,000, or space for every man, woman and child in Huntsville and the
surrounding
county.

Emergency planners in Huntsville - an out-of-the-way city best known as the
home of _NASA_ (javascript:;) 's Marshall Space Flight Center - say the idea
makes sense because radioactive fallout could be scattered for hundreds of
miles if terrorists detonated a nuclear bomb.

''If Huntsville is in the blast zone, there's not much we can do. But if it's
just fallout ... shelters would absorb 90 percent of the radiation,'' said
longtime emergency management planner Kirk Paradise, whose Cold War expertise
with fallout shelters led local leaders to renew Huntsville's program.

Huntsville's project, developed using $70,000 from a Homeland Security grant,
goes against the grain because the United States essentially scrapped its
national plan for fallout shelters after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
_Congress_ (javascript:;) cut off funding and the government published its
last
list of approved shelters at the end of 1992.

After Sept. 11, Homeland Security created a metropolitan protection program
that includes nuclear-attack preparation and mass shelters. But no other city
has taken the idea as far as Huntsville has, officials said.

Many cities advise residents to stay at home and seal up a room with plastic
and duct tape during a biological, chemical or nuclear attack. Huntsville does
too, in certain cases.

Local officials agree the ''shelter-in-place'' method would be best for a
''dirty bomb'' that scattered nuclear contamination through conventional
explosives. But they say full-fledged shelters would be needed to protect from
the
fallout of a nuclear bomb.

Program leaders recently briefed members of Congress, including Rep. Charlie
Dent, R-Pa., who called the shelter plan an example of the ''all-hazards''
approach needed for emergency preparedness.

''Al-Qaida, we know, is interested in a nuclear capability. It's our nation's
fear that a nuclear weapon could get into terrorists' hands,'' Dent said.

As fallout shelters go, the Three Caves Quarry just outside downtown offers
the kind of protection that would make Dr. Strangelove proud, with space for an
arena-size crowd of some 20,000 people.

Last mined in the early '50s, the limestone quarry is dug 300 yards into the
side of the mountain, with ceilings as high as 60 feet and 10 acres of floor
space covered with jagged rocks. Jet-black in places with a year-round
temperature of about 60 degrees, it has a colony of bats living in its highest
reaches
and baby stalactites hanging from the ceiling.

''It would be a little trying,

Bush warns Putin:
'World War Three'

By Matthew Moore and Adrian Blomfield


The Telegraph (UK), 6:57pm BST 17/10/2007


 
 
_http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2007/10/17/wwar117.xml_ 
(http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2007/10/17/wwar117.xml) 



President George W Bush today warned that world leaders risk helping bring 
about World War Three unless they do more to prevent Iran developing nuclear 
weapons. 
In remarks timed to coincide with _Russian president Vladimir Putin's visit 
to Teheran_ 
(http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml;jsessionid=0IBVFXWWRKGU1QFIQMGCFFWAVCBQUIV0?xml=/news/2007/10/17/wputin117.xml)
 , Mr Bush said the 
Islamic republic must remain isolated until it drops its nuclear ambitions.
 

   
New best friends: Vladimir Putin and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad after their meeting 
in Teheran 
We've got a leader in Iran who has announced that he wants to destroy 
Israel, Mr Bush told a White House press conference. 
So I've told people that, if you're interested in avoiding World War Three, 
it seems like you ought to be interested in preventing them from having the 
knowledge necessary to make a nuclear weapon. 
Mr Bush's pointed statement follows the warm words exchanged by Mr Putin and 
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the Iranian president, at an historic summit in Teheran 
this week. 
After their meeting Mr Putin repeated Moscow's line that there is no evidence 
to suggest Iran wants to build a nuclear bomb, and pledged to continue 
helping the country develop its civil nuclear technology. 
As the _first Kremlin leader to visit Iran since Josef Stalin in 1943_ 
(http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml;jsessionid=0IBVFXWWRKGU1QFIQMGCFFWAVCBQUI
V0?xml=/news/2007/10/15/wputin415.xml) , he also secured the vital backing of 
Azerbaijan in a five-nation pact by the Caspian states to prevent the US from 
using the region as a staging ground for military action against Iran. 
Mr Bush added today that he had no doubts that Russia appreciated the dangers 
of a nuclear Iran. 
But he said that he wished to speak to Mr Putin about his meeting with 
Ayatollah Khamenei, the supreme Iranian leader, during which he is said to have 
suggested a new proposal to end the nuclear stand-off. 
I'm looking forward to getting President Putin's read-out from the meeting, 
Mr Bush said. 
The thing I'm interested in is whether or not he continues to harbour the 
same concerns that I do. 
I will continue to work with Russia as well as other nations to keep a 
focused effort on sending Iran a message that you will remain isolated if you 
continue your nuclear weapons ambitions. 
Although Russia lent its reluctant backing to two United Nations resolutions 
imposing sanctions on Iran, it has been stridently opposed to escalating the 
penalties after Teheran refused to stop its uranium enrichment programme.  
Among Western diplomats, opinion is divided as to whether Russia — which has 
little to gain from a nuclear Iran — w_ill eventually acquiesce_ 
(http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml;jsessionid=0IBVFXWWRKGU1QFIQMGCFFWAVCBQUIV0?xml=
/news/2007/07/03/wbush103.xml) .  
Emboldened by its vast energy resources and desperate to reclaim its status 
as a global power, Russia could also stand to gain by seeing the United States 
dragged into a new, controversial and potentially debilitating Middle East 
conflict. 
 
The United States has said it is pursuing a diplomatic approach to Iran, 
including the threat of a new round of United Nations sanctions, but has 
refused 
to rule out military action to halt Iran's nuclear program, which it believes 
might be used covertly to develop nuclear

Head of U.S. counterterrorism agency resigns
 
17 Oct 2007 18:35:16 GMT

Source: Reuters
 
_http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/N17367235.htm_ 
(http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/N17367235.htm) 

 

WASHINGTON, Oct 17 (Reuters) - Vice Adm. John Redd, the head of the U.S. 
agency responsible for analyzing intelligence on terrorism and developing 
counterterrorism strategies, announced his resignation on Wednesday. 

 
Redd, first director of the National Counterterrorism Center, said in a 
letter to staff he was stepping down as of Nov. 10 for long-delayed surgery 
which 
I can no longer neglect.  
Redd needs replacement surgery on both knees, which would require a prolonged 
absence if he were to stay as director, center spokesman Carl Kropf said.  
The counterterrorism center was created in 2004 as part of an overhaul of 
U.S. intelligence and security agencies after the Sept. 11 attacks in 2001. It 
serves as a clearing-house for intelligence on terrorism, produces daily 
intelligence reports and develops strategy for counterterrorism operations.  
Redd, 63, has served as head of the center since August 2005.  
Michael Leiter, the agency's deputy director, will serve as acting director 
until a replacement is named, Kropf said.

You're A Whole Different Person When You're Scared-- Warren Zevon, Hunter S.
Thompson

ICH  -- My friend Bernie says since Democrats won the Congress, George Bush
reminds him of a cartoon where this destructive Texas jackrabbit was careening
headlong down a path, his eyes riveted on a rabbit hole in the distance.  A
tortoise, sunning himself at the side of the path, looked behind the rabbit 
where
a baying pack of dogs, in hot pursuit, was gaining on him.  The tortoise smiled.
 The poor bunny was in a race for his life.  As he shot by, the tortoise called
out lazily, Think you'll make it?  The rabbit, looking neither to the right 
nor
left, shot back desperately -- I gotta make it...

Bernie says Bush is running scared.  So scared he's pantin' like a lizard...

Pantin' like a lizard?  Hah.  Having been raised in New Mexico with me, Bernie
should know that Bush is panting because, well, that's what lizards do...
Especially the venomous gila monsters, who are fun to chase, but only a fool
would try to catch one.  That's why the few Democrats out there who appear to be
chasing Bush are, in reality, just trotting along in his wake.  I suspect they
fear the holocaust he is capable of inflicting if they catch him.

For six long years, Bush has water-boarded all who oppose him -- especially
those in Congress -- with a steady stream of 9/11.  Each speech is laced with
visions of 9/11 -- 9/11 horror just over the horizon, 9/11 around each corner,
9/11 behind each tree. Fear Itself is the only option on the Bush-Cheney 
table,
and they have used it relentlessly, not only to wage genocidal war in order to
gain control of the world's resources, but to seize dictatorial power and to
control the quivering masses.  Constant and repetitive warnings and false-flag
alerts, evidence of plotters and planners skulking among us, hateful ideologies
swirling above us like mushroom clouds -- is it any wonder our elected
representatives, once inside the Kingdom of Fear, lose all sense of direction,
the ability to reason?

*The Real Iraq We Knew* 
By 12 former Army Captains  
10/16/07 

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/10/15/AR2007101500841.html


Washington Post -- Today marks five years since the authorization of military
force in Iraq, setting Operation Iraqi Freedom in motion.  Five years on, the
Iraq war is as undermanned and under-resourced as it was from the start.  And,
five years on, Iraq is in shambles.

As Army captains who served in Baghdad and beyond, we've seen the corruption and
the sectarian division.  We understand what it's like to be stretched too thin. 
And we know when it's time to get out.

What does Iraq look like on the ground? It's certainly far from being a modern,
self-sustaining country.  Many roads, bridges, schools and hospitals are in
deplorable condition.  Fewer people have access to drinking water or sewage
systems than before the war.  And Baghdad is averaging less than eight hours of
electricity a day.

Iraq's institutional infrastructure, too, is sorely wanting.  Even if the Iraqis
wanted to work together and accept the national identity foisted upon them in
1920s, the ministries do not have enough trained administrators or technicians 
to
coordinate themselves.  At the local level, most communities are still 
controlled
by the same autocratic sheiks that ruled under Saddam.  There is no reliable
postal system.  No effective banking system.  No registration system to monitor
the population and its needs.

The inability to govern is exacerbated at all levels by widespread corruption. 
Transparency International ranks Iraq as one of the most corrupt countries in 
the
world.  And, indeed, many of us witnessed the exploitation of U.S. tax dollars 
by
Iraqi officials and military officers.  Sabotage and graft have had a
particularly deleterious impact on Iraq's oil industry, which still fails to
produce the revenue that Pentagon war planners hoped would pay for Iraq's
reconstruction.  Yet holding people accountable has proved difficult.

*The Most Dreaded Enemy of Liberty*
By James Madison

Of all the enemies to public liberty war is, perhaps, the most to be dreaded,
because it comprises and develops the germ of every other.  War is the parent of
armies; from these proceed debts and taxes; and armies, and debts, and taxes are
the known instruments for bringing the many under the domination of the few.  In
war, too, the discretionary power of the Executive is extended; its influence in
dealing out offices, honors, and emoluments is multiplied; and all the means of
seducing the minds, are added to those of subduing the force, of the people. ...
[There is also an] inequality of fortunes, and the opportunities of fraud,
growing out of a state of war, and ... degeneracy of manners and of morals. ...
No nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare. ...

[It should be well understood] that the powers proposed to be surrendered [by 
the
Third Congress] to the Executive were those which the Constitution has most
jealously appropriated to the Legislature. . . .

The Constitution expressly and exclusively vests in the Legislature the power of
declaring a state of war ... the power of raising armies ... the power of
creating offices. ...

A delegation of such powers [to the President] would have struck, not only at 
the
fabric of our Constitution, but at the foundation of all well organized and well
checked governments.

The separation of the power of declaring war from that of conducting it, is
wisely contrived to exclude the danger of its being declared for the sake of its
being conducted.

The separation of the power of raising armies from the power of commanding them,
is intended to prevent the raising of armies for the sake of commanding them.

The separation of the power of creating offices from that of filling them, is an
essential guard against the temptation to create offices for the sake of
gratifying favourites or multiplying dependents.

[James Madison was the fourth president of the United States.  This is from
Letters and Other Writings of James Madison.]

In 9/11 Survival Tale,
Pieces Just Don’t Fit

By DAVID W. DUNLAP and SERGE F. KOVALESKI,
The New York Times, 2007-09-27 14:06:05
_http://news.aol.com/story/_a/in-911-survival-tale-pieces-just-dont/2007092709
5709990001?ncid=NWS000101_
(http://news.aol.com/story/_a/in-911-survival-tale-pieces-just-dont/20070927095709990001?ncid=NWS000101)

(http://news.aol.com/nation)

(Sept. 27) -- Tania Head’s story, as shared over the years with reporters,
students, friends and hundreds of visitors to ground zero, was a remarkable
account of both life and death.

She had, she said, survived the terror attack on the World Trade Center
despite having been badly burned when the plane crashed into the upper floors
of
the south tower.

Crawling through the chaos and carnage on the 78th floor that morning, she
said, she encountered a dying man who handed her his inscribed wedding ring,
which she later returned to his widow.

Her own life was saved, she said, by a selfless volunteer who stanched the
flames on her burning clothes before she was helped down the stairs. It was a
journey she said she had the strength to make because she kept thinking of a
beautiful white dress she was to wear at her coming marriage ceremony to a man
named Dave.

But later she would discover, she said, that Dave, her fiancé, and in some
versions her husband, had perished in the north tower.

As a matter of history, Ms. Head’s account made her one of only 19 survivors
who had been at or above the point of impact when the planes hit. As a matter
of emotion, her story deeply moved audiences like college students to whom she
spoke and visitors at ground zero, where she has long led tours for the
Tribute W.T.C. Visitor Center for visitors including Mayor Michael R.
Bloomberg,
former Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani and former Gov. George E. Pataki.

“What I witnessed there I will never forget,” she told a gathering at Baruch
College at a memorial event in 2006. “It was a lot of death and destruction,
but I also saw hope.”

Much of Ms. Head’s account was posted on the Web site of the World Trade
Center Survivors’ Network, a nonprofit organization for which she served as
president and as point person for corporate donations.

(http://www.nytimes.com/)
But no part of her story, it turns out, has been verified.

The family and friends of the man to whom she claimed to be engaged say they
have never heard of Tania Head and view the relationship she describes with
the man, who truly died in the north tower, as an impossibility.

A spokeswoman for Merrill Lynch Company, where she told people she worked
at the time of the terror attack, said the company had no record of employing a
Tania Head.

And few people, it seems, who embraced the gripping immediacy and pain of her
account ever asked the name of the man whose ring she had returned, or that
of the hospital where she was treated, or the identities of the people she met
with in the south tower on the morning of 9/11.

“She never shared those details, and it was nothing we wanted to probe,”
said Alison Crowther, the mother of Welles Remy Crowther, a man who died on
9/11
and who is credited with rescuing a number of people from the south tower,
including, by Ms. Head’s account, Ms. Head. “I felt it was too private and
painful for her.”

In recent weeks, The New York Times sought to interview Ms. Head about her
experiences on 9/11 because she had, in other settings, presented a poignant
account of survival and loss. But she canceled three scheduled interviews,
citing
her privacy and emotional turmoil, and declined to provide details to

[Zionism has] put up a [Kosher Curtain,] a world-wide wall between the West 
and Islam, the front-line of the Clash of Civilizations.  Beyond the wall 
there aren't any innocent men, women and children, just a billion terrorists, 
multitudes of blood-thirsty Muslims, who have only one desire in life: to 
[exterminate] us, simply because we are Jews, part of Judeo-Christian 
Civilization.

With an official position like Israel's, who is there to reason with?  What 
is there to talk about?

*The Mother of all Pretexts*  
By Uri Avnery
10/13/07 

ICH -- WHEN I hear mention of the Clash of Civilizations, I don't know
whether to laugh or to cry.

To laugh, because it is such a silly notion.

To cry, because it is liable to cause untold disasters.

To cry even more, because our leaders are exploiting this slogan as a pretext 
for
sabotaging any possibility of an Israeli-Palestinian reconciliation.  It is just
one more in a long line of pretexts.

WHY WAS the Zionist movement in need of excuses to justify the way it treated 
the
Palestinian people?

At its birth, it was an idealistic movement.  It laid great weight on its moral
basis.  Not just in order to convince the world, but above all in order to set
its own conscience at rest.

From early childhood we learned about the pioneers, many of them sons and
daughters of well-to-do and well-educated families, who left behind a 
comfortable
life in Europe in order to start a new life in a far-away and -- by the 
standards
of the time -- primitive country.  Here, in a savage climate they were not used
to, often hungry and sick, they performed bone-breaking physical labor under a
brutal sun.

For that, they needed an absolute belief in the rightness of their cause.  Not
only did they believe in the need to save the Jews of Europe from persecution 
and
pogroms, but also in the creation of a society so just as never seen before, an
egalitarian society that would be a model for the entire world. Leo Tolstoy was
no less important for them than Theodor Herzl.  The kibbutz and the moshav were
symbols of the whole enterprise.

But this idealistic

In post-Soviet Russia, de-Stalinization was half-hearted.  As a result, 
today Stalin is venerated and former K.G.B. officers rule the Kremlin.  
Gorbachev 
and Yeltsin, meanwhile, are reviled for destroying a great country.

If [Hillary] Clinton doesn't want to share their fate -- which in the U.S. 
context would mean a failed one-term presidency [succeeded by those who want to 
out-do George Bush] -- she needs to start a de-Bushification.  Her first act 
in office should be to put Bush and his entire entourage on trial.

When I recently suggested this to an audience of New York lawyers, the room 
exploded with laughter.  It would be unconstitutional, they said, and so 
un-American, to be stuck in the past.

On the contrary, putting blame where it belongs would be a step toward the 
future.  It would, first of all, extract the next president's reputation from 
the rubble of failed policies.  More important, a guilty verdict passed on the 
Bush administration by an impartial and independent U.S. court might put an end 
to unilateralism and restore America's rightful place in the community of 
nations.

The war in Afghanistan was not the main reason the Soviet Union collapsed. 
Nevertheless, it bankrupted the Soviet state and pointed out the moral blight,
skewed priorities and irrelevance of the Communist gerontocracy.

The United States is a vibrant society with a diversified and resilient economy.
 But it currently stands on the brink of considerable social and economic

US warns of disaster if Turks attack Iraq

BYLINEMolly Moore and Robin Wright in
DATEOctober 15
_http://www.smh.com.au/news/world/us-warns-of-disaster-if-turks-attack-iraq/20
07/10/14/1192300600727.html_
(http://www.smh.com.au/news/world/us-warns-of-disaster-if-turks-attack-iraq/2007/10/14/1192300600727.html)

AMERICAN officials have begun an intense lobbying effort to defuse Turkish
threats to launch a military attack on Kurdish rebels in northern Iraq.
Turkey is also threatening to limit access to critical air and land routes
that have become a lifeline for US troops in Iraq.
But even as the US Assistant Secretary of State for European affairs, Daniel
Fried, appealed for restraint in Ankara on Saturday, the Turkish Prime
Minister, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, at a political rally in Istanbul, urged the
parliament to vote unanimously this week to declare a mobilisation against
Kurdish
rebels and their terrorist organisation, the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK).
US military officials predict disastrous consequences if Turkey strikes at
northern Iraq and serious repercussions for the safety of US troops if Turkey
reduces the supply lines it permits.
The confluence of two seemingly unrelated events could not have come at a
worse time. The bodies of 13 Turkish soldiers killed on October 7 in one of the
deadliest attacks by Kurdish separatists had barely been buried amid emotional
media coverage when the House Foreign Affairs Committee in Washington approved
a resolution to label as genocide the mass killings of Armenians during the
final decades of the Ottoman Empire.
This is not only about a resolution, said Egemen Bagis, a member of the
Turkish parliament and a foreign policy adviser to Erdogan. We're fed up with
the PKK -- it is a clear and present danger for us. This insult over the
genocide claims is the last straw.
Domestic politics in both countries -- the Armenian lobby that pushed for the
genocide resolution in Congress and growing pressure on the Turkish
leadership to stop Kurdish rebel attacks -- collided to create an international
crisis.
It's a difficult time for the relationship, the US Secretary of State,
Condoleezza Rice, told reporters on Saturday during her trip to Russia, noting
Mr
Fried and another State Department official had gone to Turkey to reassure the
Turks that we really value this relationship.

Oil Rises Above $85 to a Record
on Increased Turkey-Iraq Tension

By Mark Shenk

(http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087sid=alq85QT4dS.krefer=home)

Oct. 15 (Bloomberg) -- Crude oil rose above $85 a barrel for the first time
in New York on concern Turkish forces may pursue Kurdish militants in Iraq,
curbing shipments as refiners prepare for the peak-demand heating season.
Prices climbed as much as 1.9 percent because Turkey's military may attack
Kurdish bases in Iraq, which have the world's third-largest oil reserves.
Futures also increased after the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries
said
production outside the group will be lower than previously forecast.
``Everything imaginable is going wrong as far as the oil market is
concerned,'' said Robert Ebel, chairman of the energy program at the Center for
Strategic and International Studies in Washington. ``Turkey is saber rattling,
Iraq
isn't calming down, Iran is also saber rattling and supplies are tight.''
Crude oil for November delivery rose $1.61, or 1.9 percent, to $85.30 a
barrel at 12:30 p.m. on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Futures

Air Force's No. 2 weapons buyer found dead  
 
 
 
By Andrea Shalal-Esa Mon Oct 15, 7:05 PM ET  
_http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/airforce_death_dc_ 
(http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/airforce_death_dc)  


WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Air Force's No. 2 acquisition official, 
facing scrutiny for a temporary job arranged by the service while he awaited 
Senate 
confirmation, was found dead at his home in an apparent suicide, according to 
an internal Air Force memo obtained by Reuters on Monday.   
Mr. Riechers was found deceased in his home, cause of death appears to be 
suicide, time of death is unknown, said the memo, which was issued late 
Sunday. 
Charles Riechers, principal deputy assistant secretary for acquisition, was 
working on the Air Force's highest priority weapons programs, including a $40 
billion aerial refueling tanker that is due to be awarded late this year or 
early next, and a $15 billion combat search and rescue helicopter. 
His death comes against the backdrop of heightened concerns about Air Force 
weapons programs, but the service said it was not expected to affect any 
contract awards. 
While Mr. Riechers was an integral part of these programs, the Air Force 
does not foresee any delays to these acquisition program schedules, said 
spokeswoman Jennifer Bentley. 
She said the Air Force was deeply saddened by Riechers' death, but gave no 
details about his death. 
The Washington Post reported on October 1 that Riechers was hired for two 
months by defense contractor Commonwealth Research Institute at the request of 
the Air Force while Riechers was out of work and awaiting Senate confirmation 
for his new position. The job paid $13,400 a month. 
Commonwealth has close ties to the Pentagon and has received hundreds of 
millions of dollars in military grants and contracts in recent years, according 
to 
the Post report. 
I really didn't do anything for CRI, Riechers told the newspaper. I got a 
paycheck from them. 
At the time, the Air Force downplayed the report, saying the temporary job 
was a common arrangement to help the service under an existing contract. A 
spokeswoman also said Riechers had been quoted out of context. 
But Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Carl Levin, a Michigan Democrat, 
criticized the deal and asked the Air Force to explain the arrangement. 
New questions arose on Friday about Commonwealth when Pemco Aviation Group 
amended its protest of a $1.2 billion contract to Boeing Co for maintenance of 
the existing fleet of KC-135 refueling tankers. 
Pemco raised questions about Riechers' possible conflict of interest because 
of ties between Commonwealth, its parent Concurrent Technologies, and Boeing. 
SETBACK SEEN 
One defense analyst said Riechers' death was yet another setback for the Air 
Force's weapons-buying office. 
Whatever the reason for the suicide, this is going to contribute to a 
widespread perception that something is not right about the Air Force 
acquisition 
system, said Loren Thompson at the Virginia-based Lexington Institute. 
Riechers was under some suspicion because of an expose in the press, but it 
certainly didn't rise to the level of a serious scandal, so his apparent 
suicide is hard to explain, Thompson added. 
Riechers' predecessor, Darleen Druyun, served nine months in jail in 2005 for 
violating federal conflict of interest laws by taking a job with Boeing while 
still overseeing billions of dollars of its work for the Air Force.  
That scandal prompted Congress to scrap a $23.5 billion tanker deal with 
Boeing. The service is poised to announce a new contract award in the next few 
months.  
Congressional auditors this year twice upheld protests

Car 'may have bumped Diana vehicle'  
Press Association 
Monday October 15, 2007 8:18 PM  
_http://www.guardian.co.uk/uklatest/story/0,,-6998282,00.html_ 
(http://www.guardian.co.uk/uklatest/story/0,,-6998282,00.html)   
Diana, Princess of Wales' Mercedes may have bumped another large, dark car 
as it entered the tunnel where it crashed, witnesses said. 
Jean-Claude Catheline and his wife Annick told the inquest into the deaths of 
the Princess and her lover Dodi Fayed that they saw two dark cars travelling 
quickly side-by-side into the Pont de l'Alma Tunnel in Paris in the early 
hours of August 31 1997. 
Speaking by video link from the French capital they revealed how they heard 
the sound of a collision as they walked on a grassy embankment near the 
entrance to the underpass. 
Moments later, Mr Catheline heard the sound of tyres screeching as the 
Mercedes carrying Diana and Dodi crashed. 
He told the inquest sitting at the High Court in London: As soon as the car 
disappeared from our view we heard what sounded like the bodywork bumping, I 
think that this noise was before the car entered the tunnel. 
In an excerpt from his original police statement, read to the court by 
Richard Horwell QC, he said: Almost immediately I heard a second noise, very, 
very 
loud, quite different from the first, it was a dull noise and followed by a 
second, identical noise. 
Mr Catheline added, as he addressed the court: I heard the tyres screeching 
on the road. 
The couple were with their daughter Marie-Agnes and her boyfriend - now 
husband - David Le Ny, on a night out in Paris at the time. 
They were walking back to their car from the Eiffel Tower nearby. 
Mrs Catheline said: When they were already in the tunnel, under the bridge 
we heard noises like two cars bumping each other.

New suspicion over Kelly death - MP  
Press Association 
Monday October 15, 2007 12:48 PM  
_http://www.guardian.co.uk/uklatest/story/0,,-6997401,00.html_ 
(http://www.guardian.co.uk/uklatest/story/0,,-6997401,00.html)   
New evidence surrounding the death of MoD scientist Dr David Kelly has added 
to suspicions that he was murdered, an MP has claimed. 
Liberal Democrat Norman Baker revealed no fingerprints were found on the 
penknife Dr Kelly apparently used to kill himself. 
The information was revealed after a Freedom of Information request to Thames 
Valley Police who conducted the immediate inquiry into his death. 
Dr Kelly, 59, was found dead near his Oxfordshire home in 2003, days after he 
was named as the source of a hugely controversial BBC story on the Iraq war. 
Mr Baker, who is writing a book on Dr Kelly, said evidence from the inquest 
showed Dr Kelly would probably have left fingerprints on the weapon. 
He told The Mirror: Someone who wanted to kill themselves wouldn't go to the 
lengths of wiping the knife clean of fingerprints. It is just very 
suspicious. It is one of the things that makes me think Dr Kelly was murdered. 
The case 
should be re-opened. 
The death of Dr Kelly sparked the Hutton inquiry which would eventually clear 
the Government over its handling of the affair. 
He had met BBC reporter Andrew Gilligan who later claimed the Government had 
exaggerated a dossier on Iraq's weapons of mass destruction. 
Question marks have already been raised over Dr Kelly's death after it was 
claimed neither the cut to his wrist nor the drugs he took were enough to kill 
him. 
A Thames Valley police spokeswoman said: It has been confirmed that there 
were no fingerprints on the knife. This, however, does not change the official 
explanation for his death.

The man who knew too much   

He was the CIA's expert on Pakistan's nuclear secrets, but Rich Barlow was 
thrown out and disgraced when he blew the whistle on a US cover-up. Now he's to 
have his day in court. Adrian Levy and Cathy Scott-Clark report 
  

Saturday October 13, 2007
The Guardian 
   
   
   
  


  Rich Barlow idles outside his silver trailer on a remote campsite in Montana 
- itinerant and unemployed, with only his hunting dogs and a borrowed computer 
for company. He dips into a pouch of American Spirit tobacco to roll another 
cigarette. It is hard to imagine that he was once a covert operative at the 
CIA, the recognised, much lauded expert in the trade in Weapons of Mass 
Destruction (WMD). 
   
   
  He prepared briefs for Dick Cheney, when Cheney was at the Pentagon, for the 
upper echelons of the CIA and even for the Oval Office. But when he uncovered a 
political scandal - a conspiracy to enable a rogue nation to get the nuclear 
bomb - he found himself a marked man.   
 
   

  In the late 80s, in the course of tracking down smugglers of WMD components, 
Barlow uncovered reams of material that related to Pakistan. It was known the 
Islamic Republic had been covertly striving to acquire nuclear weapons since 
India's explosion of a device in 1974 and the prospect terrified the west - 
   
  especially given the instability of a nation that had had three military 
coups in less than 30 years . Straddling deep ethnic, religious and political 
fault-lines, it was also a country regularly rocked by inter-communal violence. 
Pakistan was the kind of place where technology could slip out of control, 
Barlow says. 
   
   
  He soon discovered, however, that senior officials in government were taking 
quite the opposite view: they were breaking US and international 
non-proliferation protocols to shelter Pakistan's ambitions and even sell it 
banned WMD technology. In the closing years of the cold war, Pakistan was 
considered to have great strategic importance. It provided Washington with a 
springboard into neighbouring Afghanistan - a route for passing US weapons and 
cash to the mujahideen, who were battling to oust the Soviet army that had 
invaded in 1979. Barlow says, We had to buddy-up to regimes we didn't see 
eye-to-eye with, but I could not believe we would actually give Pakistan the 
bomb. How could any US administration set such short-term gains against 
the long-term safety of the world? Next he discovered that the Pentagon was 
preparing to sell Pakistan jet fighters that could be used to drop a nuclear 
bomb.Barlow was relentless in exposing what he saw as US
 complicity, and in the end he was sacked and smeared as disloyal, mad, a drunk 
and a philanderer. If he had been listened to, many believe Pakistan might 
never have got its nuclear bomb; south Asia might not have been pitched into 
three near-nuclear conflagrations; and the nuclear weapons programmes of Iran, 
Libya and North Korea - which British and American intelligence now acknowledge 
were all secretly enabled by Pakistan - would never have got off the ground. 
None of this need have happened, Robert Gallucci, special adviser on WMD to 
both Clinton and George W Bush, told us. The vanquishing of Barlow and the 
erasing of his case kicked off a chain of events that led to all the 
nuclear-tinged stand-offs we face today. Pakistan is the number one threat to 
the world, and if it all goes off -  a nuclear bomb in a US or European 
city- I'm sure we will find ourselves looking in Pakistan's direction. 
   US aid to Pakistan tapered off when the Soviet Union
 withdrew from

Dear Kris,

Kevin Martin - the chair of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) - has 
indicated that he wants to vote to loosen media ownership limits by early 
December.  But he's not saying exactly what the new rules would be.  He wants 
his agency to make this crucial decision behind closed doors, without public 
input.
 
It's eerily similar to what happened in 2003, when the FCC voted in secret to 
allow one company to control up to eight radio stations, three television 
stations, the local newspaper and the cable system in a single city.
 
Tell Congress to rein in Kevin Martin! 

http://www.commoncause.org/DejaVu
 
In 2003, the courts threw out the FCC's flawed media ownership rules, in large 
part because the public wasn't part of the process.  But Kevin Martin hasn't 
learned his lesson.  He wants to lock the public out.  That's not acceptable. 

Common Cause members and other activists across the nation have sent hundreds 
of thousands of comments to the FCC opposing media consolidation.  Those 
messages ought to mean something.  But if Kevin Martin gets his way, he'll 
disregard the public's voice and approve new rules without giving us any 
opportunity to weigh in on the specifics.

Contact your Representative today. Ask him or her to tell the FCC to keep the 
public in the loop! 

http://www.commoncause.org/DejaVu

If the FCC won't listen to the public, Congress can and should exercise its 
oversight power.  The media ownership rules govern how we get news and 
information -- and that's especially important in an election year.  Without 
diverse sources of information, we can't have a healthy debate about our 
nation's future, or a healthy democracy.
 
For the past three years, activists like you have held off a vote on rules that 
would allow Big Media to get even bigger.  Let's keep the pressure on.  Tell 
Congress to stand up for us.
 
Thanks for all you do for Common Cause.

Sincerely,

Bob Edgar
President, Common Cause

1st English Edition of International Best Seller
The True Story of the Bilderberg Group
new revelation — CIA financed initial Bilderberg Group meetings

In this age of political hocus-pocus, where real events become obscured by 
contrived rhetoric spinning in its own inertia, journalist Daniel Estulin does 
what no one else has managed: he reports, at risk, on the very private 
interactions among political alpha-dogs and world power brokers.
The True Story of the Bilderberg Group, released in the United States by 
TrineDay, exposes one of the best-kept secrets in political history. This 
explosive publication offers readers an unblinking investigation into an 
elitist 
conclave once shrouded in total mystery and impenetrable security. Expect a 
fascinating account of the annual meetings of the world’s most powerful 
people—the 
Bilderberg Group.
A native Russian residing in Spain, author Daniel Estulin is an award-winning 
investigative journalist and popular radio personality, one who has 
investigated the Bilderbergers for over 14 years. His 2005 book, La Verdad 
Historia del 
Club Bilderberg (The True Story of the Bilderberg Group), now an 
international best seller, has been followed by two Spanish-language best 
sellers on the 
Bilderberg Group, one in 2006, another just released in 2007.

New to this first English edition:
•The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) supplied the financial funding for the 
first set of meetings.
• Postscript reports on the 2005, 2006 and 2007 meetings
• New photos, documents and lists of Bilderberg attendees

Since its inception in 1954 at the Bilderberg Hotel in the small Dutch town 
of Oosterbeek, the Bilderberg Group has been comprised of European prime 
ministers, American presidents, and the wealthiest CEOs of the world, coming 
together to discuss the economic and political future of humanity, far beyond 
the 
range of democratic expectations.
The press has never been allowed to attend, nor have statements ever been 
released on the attendees’ discussions or conclusions, which clearly impact all 
the citizens of the world. Using methods that resemble the spy tactics of the 
Cold War—and in several instances putting his own life on the line—Daniel has 
learned what was being said behind the closed doors of the opulent hotels, and 
has made it available to the public for the first time.
The True Story of the Bilderberg Group is considered an international 
literary phenomenon, a well-traveled best seller. In Spain, the book has sold 
over 
170,000 copies and is in its 17th print run. Worldwide, the book has been sold 
in 42 countries and has been translated into 24 languages. Publication rights 
have most recently been acquired in South Korea, Germany, Russia, Switzerland, 
and Austria.
TrineDay is pleased to be the U.S. and Canadian publisher of The True Story 
of the Bilderberg Group, the first edition in English. We encourage you to ask

Vatican Prints Secrets of Knights Templar

By Philip Pullella,

Reuters

Posted: 2007-10-13 00:08:04

Filed Under: World News

VATICAN CITY (Oct. 12) - The Knights Templar, the medieval Christian
military order accused of heresy and sexual misconduct, will soon be partly
rehabilitated when the Vatican publishes trial documents it had closely guarded
for 700
years.

Photo Gallery: Church Secret Revealed

Alessandro Bianchi, Reuters 1 of 9

A reproduction of the minutes of trials against the Templars, 'Processus
Contra Templarios -- Papal Inquiry into the Trial of the Templars' is a
massive
work and much more than a book -- with a $8,333 price tag.

This is a milestone because it is the first time that these documents are
being released by the Vatican, which gives a stamp of authority to the entire
project, said Professor Barbara Frale, a medievalist at the Vatican's Secret
Archives.

Nothing before this offered scholars original documents of the trials of the
Templars, she told Reuters in a telephone interview ahead of the official
presentation of the work on October 25.

The epic comes in a soft leather case that includes a large-format book
including scholarly commentary, reproductions of original parchments in Latin,
and
-- to tantalize Templar buffs -- replicas of the wax seals used by
14th-century Inquisitors.

Reuters was given an advance preview of the work, of which only 799 numbered
copies have been made.

One parchment measuring about half a meter wide by some two meters long is so
detailed that it includes reproductions of stains and imperfections seen on
the originals.

Pope Benedict will be given the first set of the work, published by the
Vatican Secret Archives in collaboration with Italy's Scrinium cultural
foundation,
which acted as curator and will have exclusive world distribution rights.

The Templars, whose full name was Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and of the
Temple of Solomon, were founded in 1119 by knights sworn to protecting
Christian pilgrims visiting the Holy Land after the Crusaders captured
Jerusalem in
1099.

They amassed enormous wealth and helped finance wars of some European
monarchs. Legends of their hidden treasures, secret rituals and power have
figured
over the years in films and bestsellers such as The Da Vinci Code.

The Knights have also been portrayed as guardians of the legendary Holy
Grail, the cup used by Christ at the Last Supper before his crucifixion.

The Vatican expects most copies of the work to be bought up by specialized
libraries at top universities and by leading medieval scholars.

Burned at the Stake

The Templars went into decline after Muslims re-conquered the Holy Land at
the end of the 13th century and were accused of heresy by King Philip IV of
France, their foremost persecutor. Their alleged offences included denying
Christ
and secretly worshipping idols.

The most titillating part of the documents is the so-called Chinon Parchment,
which contains phrases in which Pope Clement V absolves the Templars of
charges of heresy, which had been the backbone of King Philip's attempts to
eliminate them.

Templars were burned at the stake for heresy by King Philip's agents after
they made confessions that most historians believe were given under duress.

The parchment, also known as the Chinon Chart, was misplaced in the Vatican
archives until 2001, when Frale stumbled across it.

The parchment was catalogued incorrectly at some point in history. At first
I couldn't believe my eyes. I was incredulous, she said.

This was the document that a lot of historians were looking for, the
37-year-old scholar said.

Philip was heavily indebted to the Templars, who had helped him finance his
wars, and getting rid of them was a convenient way of cancelling his debts,
some historians say.

Frale said Pope Clement was convinced that while the Templars had committed
some grave sins, they were not heretics.

Spitting on the Cross

Their initiation ceremony is believed to have included spitting on the cross,
but Frale said they justified this as a ritual of obedience in preparation
for possible capture by Muslims. They were also said to have practiced sodomy.

Simply put, the pope recognized that they were not heretics but guilty of
many other minor crimes -- such as abuses, violence and sinful acts within the
order, she said. But that is not the same as heresy.

Despite his conviction that the Templars were not guilty of heresy, in 1312
Pope Clement ordered the Templars disbanded for what Frale called the good of
the Church following his repeated

BREAKING THE SILENCE
BMW's Quandt Family to Investigate Wealth Amassed in Third Reich

By Julia Bonstein, Dietmar Hawranek and Klaus Wiegrefe 

Germany's wealthy and reclusive Quandt family, a major BMW shareholder, 
has gone on the defensive. For decades the family repressed its Nazi 
past, but a new documentary film provides new photos of old revelations 
that have prompted the Quandts to confront their own history of using 
slave laborers in factories during World War II.

It is difficult to ignore the stories of former forced laborers during 
the Nazi era. Their memories are painful to listen to, even when they are 
presented calmly and without any finger-pointing. One former forced 
laborer telling his story today is Carl-Adolf Soerensen, a former Danish 
resistance fighter who was deported in 1943 and sent to a satellite 
concentration camp in the Stöcken district of the northern German city of 
Hanover and forced to work in the adjacent Afa battery plant.

I arrived here with 40 comrades, says Soerensen, now 82, in a 
documentary produced by the northern German public broadcaster NDR. He 
and his fellow slave laborers assembled batteries for German submarines 
in the Afa plant, which was owned by German industrialist Günther Quandt. 
The men handled toxic heavy metals without any protective gear. Six died 
in the first three months alone, says Soerensen.

According to Soerensen, men from the SS told him that inmates at Stöcken 
couldn't expect to survive more than six months. Most succumbed to lead 
poisoning. Soerensen, now an old man, looks tiny as he stands in a meadow 
on the site of the former camp and tells his story.

It took two NDR authors five years to complete the research for their 
documentary film, The Silence of the Quandts. It is an impressive film, 
one the German national television network ARD ought to be proud of. 
Instead, though, ARD chose to hide the film the way a vegetable vendor 
might cover up his wilted produce. The film, which was not announced in 
program guides, was aired on a Sunday night two weeks ago -- at 11:30 
p.m.

FROM THE MAGAZINE

Find out how you can reprint this DER SPIEGEL article in your 
publication. 

Advance copies of the film were sent to only a handful of journalists, 
while the network quietly suggested to others that it might be worth 
their while to watch the portrait of actress Inge Meysel that was in fact 
scheduled for the Sunday night time slot. The topic only gained momentum 
last week when the press reported on the program.

NDR was apparently intimidated by the powerful and wealthy Quandt family, 
which today is a major shareholder in BMW, Altana, a chemical group, and 
many other companies. It was feared that the family could prevent the 
broadcast by securing a court injunction against NDR.

Amid all the secrecy, the widely dispersed Quandt clan, the descendants 
of former Leader of the Armament Economy Günther Quandt missed the 
film's initial broadcast. It was only after the fact that Günther 
Quandt's daughter-in-law, Johanna Quandt, her children Susanne Klatten 
and Stefan Quandt, as well as other family members, watched a recording 
of the program.

According to a family friend, it was apparently a nightmarish experience 
for many family members. Nevertheless, instead of considering their legal 
options, family members were more concerned about damage control and how 
best to protect the Quandt family's image.

*CIA Goes After CIA's Own Watchdog*   
11 Oct 2007   
The director of the Central Intelligence Agency, General Michael V. Hayden, 
has ordered a highly unusual internal inquiry into the work of the agency's 
inspector general, whose aggressive investigations of the C.I.A.'s detention 
and 
interrogation programs and other matters have created resentment among agency 
operatives. A small team working for General Hayden is looking into
the conduct of the agency's watchdog office, which is led by Inspector 
General John L. Helgerson.

Guam,
and Oregon.  In addition, activities will take place on a federal level in
Washington, D.C.  In coordination with the Department of State, the United
Kingdom, Canada, and Australia are full international partners in the exercise.

American security official with close ties to the company told The Associated
Press. The overbilling by USPI could add up to millions of dollars, the American
security official said, speaking on condition of anonymity in Kabul. In a 2005
report on disarmament in Afghanistan, the International Crisis Group said a
majority of the men on USPI's payroll are associated with private militias...
Many have used their authority to engage in criminal activity, including drug
trafficking, the report said.

*THE LIST: American Tears*  
By Naomi Wolf 
Posted October 11, 2007 | 06:47 PM (EST)

I wish people would stop breaking into tears when they talk to me these days.

I am traveling across the country at the moment -- Colorado to California --
speaking to groups of Americans from all walks of life about the assault on
liberty and the 10 steps now underway in America to a violently closed society.

The good news is that Americans are already awake: I thought there would be
resistance to or disbelief at this message of gathering darkness -- but I am
finding crowds of people who don't need me to tell them to worry; they are
already scared, already alert to the danger, and entirely prepared to hear what
the big picture might look like.  To my great relief, Americans are smart and
brave and they are unflinching in their readiness to hear the worst and take
action.  And they love their country.

But I can't stand the stories I am hearing.  I can't stand to open my email 
these
days.  And wherever I go, it seems, at least once a day, someone very strong
starts to cry while they are speaking.

In Boulder, two days ago, a rosy-cheeked thirtysomething mother of two small
children, in soft yoga velours, started to tear up when she said to me: I want
to take action, but I am so scared.  I look at my kids and I am scared.  How do
you deal with fear?  Is it safer for them if I act or stay quiet?  I don't want
to get on a list.  In D.C., before that, a beefy, handsome civil servant, a

Blackwater in Iraq  Killing for Profit  By SAUL LANDAU
  http://www.counterpunch.org/landau10112007.html
   
  The words Support Our Troops stain the rear bumpers of thousands of cars. 
The slogan, however, conceals a more pernicious demand: Support Our 
Mercenaries. Yes, in Iraq, the mercenaries--euphemistically called paid 
contractors--outnumber US troops, 180,000 to 160,000. These contractors do 
more than provide armed security for US personnel. They do chores that 
previously belonged to regular army staff.
   
   
  Private security companies employ for high pay former US soldiers, 
ex-kidnappers and torturers from Pinochet's secret police, death squad heavies 
from a variety of Central and South American countries and a few leftover South 
African apartheid thugs as well. The companies collect billions from US 
taxpayers. 
   
  A typical U.S. soldier serving in Iraq makes about: $57 a day. 
   
  The estimated daily take for a Blackwater security guard there runs between 
$500- $600. (FACING SOUTH A News and Politics Report Sept. 26, 2007) 
   
   
  Imagine a scene in the corporate boardroom of Whitepiss Security Inc., a 
typical contractor with the Pentagon located in Upper South Carolina. The Chief 
executive, a former Special Forces veteran who was friends with Timothy McVey, 
and a diehard supporter of the Confederacy cause, refuses to use the word 
North. This descendent of the slave holding Col. 
   
  Beauregard Fathorn gleefully counts his profits derived from providing 
security in Iraq. Then he shares his thoughts with fellow executives: The 
Eyerack War, he says, has become the most beautiful thing that has happened 
to this country since the glorious attack at Fort Sumter. It has awakened us 
from the sloth of peace and prosperity brought about by the treasonous Clinton 
Administration. 
   
   
  In 1997, a former Navy Seal from a rich family figured out how to sell 
violence and enhance his wealth. Blackwater on its webpage disguises both its 
greed and its murderous intent by referring to understanding of the need for 
innovative, flexible training and operational solutions to support security and 
peace, and freedom and democracy everywhere. CEO and founder Eric Prince 
believed the military and law enforcement establishments would require 
additional capacity to train fully our brave men and women in and out of 
uniform to the standards required to keep our country secure. 
   
   
  The Website advertises not simply a 'private security company.' We are a 
professional military, law enforcement, security, peacekeeping, and stability 
operations firm who provides turnkey solutions. We assist with the development 
of national and global security policies and military transformation plans. We 
can train, equip and deploy public safety and military professionals, build 
live-fire indoor/outdoor ranges, MOUT facilities and shoot houses, create 
ground and aviation operations and logistics support packages, develop and 
execute canine solutions for patrol and explosive detection, and can design and 
build facilities both domestically and in austere environments abroad. One 
could easily read this as an appeal to Congress to direct the entire military 
budget away from the Pentagon and toward Blackwater? Indeed, Prince has donated 
$200,000 to the Republican Party. (FACING SOUTH) 
   
   
  Coincidentally, Blackwater ranks first among 140 private security contractors 
in Iraq. And its employees have killed more Iraqis than its rivals. (NY Times 
September 27) The estimated worth of its contracts there runs about $300 
million. Why not? 
   
   
  Blackwater advertises itself as the most responsive,

Newsweek: _Blackwater Plays By Its Own Rules In Iraq _
(http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21163806/site/newsweek/)

The colonel was furious.

Can you believe it? They actually drew their weapons on U.S. soldiers.

He was describing a 2006 car accident, in which an SUV full of Blackwater
operatives had crashed into a U.S. Army Humvee on a street in Baghdad's Green
Zone.

The colonel, who was involved in a follow-up investigation and spoke on the
condition he not be named, said the Blackwater guards disarmed the U.S. Army
soldiers and made them lie on the ground at gunpoint until they could
disentangle the SUV.

His account was confirmed by the head of another private security company.

_Ex-Commander Blasts Iraq 'Nightmare' _
(http://www.consortiumnews.com/2007/101207.html)

Retired Army Lt. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez, who commanded U.S. forces in Iraq for
the first year of the occupation, blamed “incompetence” by President George
W. Bush’s national security team for creating a “nightmare” that could last
far into the future.

Sanchez, who led coalition forces from June 2003 to June 2004, used an
October 12 speech to a conference of Military Reporters and Editors in
Arlington,
Virginia, to castigate nearly everyone connected to the Iraq War, including the
U.S. news media, Congress, the State Department, the White House and the
Pentagon.

Hillary Confronted on Bilderberg in Oakland

JonesReport.com
October 12, 2007

Members of WeAreChange Oakland confronted Hillary Clinton during a campaign
event on her involvement in the secretive Bilderberg group. Clinton snapped
quickly away from statements that We know you're with Bilderberg, Hillary and
We know about Roger Ailes and Fox News. Rupert Murdoch's got your back.

Clinton made no direct acknowledgment to hearing the statements, but moved on
quickly after turning away, as a secret service agent stepped in behind her.

Hillary attended the 2006 Bilderberg meeting in Ottawa, Canada, according to
reports from inside the Brookstreet Hotel. Attending the meeting while a New
York Senator was in violation of the Logan Act.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7SVyn1FR-20eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Etruthnews%2Eus%2F%3Fp%3D259

Hillary also attended Bilderberg in 1997 at Lake Lanier, Georgia, the only time
a first lady has ever attended, and Bill Clinton attended in 1991, just before
his election as president.

Activists have confronted Hillary Clinton on her Bilderberg association at
least two other times, including during a forum in Las Vegas and at a hotel in
New York.

But the Bilderberg kingmakers aren't the only ones backing Hillary for the
whitehouse. Supposedly-conservative Rupert Murdoch, CEO of NewsCorp, Fox News'
parent company, made headlines when he hosted a fundraiser for Clinton and had
been reportedly meeting with her weekly.

[CTRL] Jimmy Carter calls Cheney a disaster for U.S


-Caveat Lector-

feedType=RSSfeedName=politicsNewsrpc=22sp=true


Jimmy Carter calls Cheney a disaster for U.S
Wed Oct 10, 2007 6:42pm EDT

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter on  
Wednesday denounced Vice President Dick Cheney as a disaster for  
the country and a militant who has had an excessive influence in  
setting foreign policy.


Cheney has been on the wrong side of the debate on many issues,  
including an internal White House discussion over Syria in which the  
vice president is thought to be pushing a tough approach, Carter said.


He's a militant who avoided any service of his own in the military  
and he has been most forceful in the last 10 years or more in  
fulfilling some of his more ancient commitments that the United  
States has a right to inject its power through military means in  
other parts of the world, Carter told the BBC World News America in  
an interview to air later on Wednesday.


You know he's been a disaster for our country, Carter said. I  
think he's been overly persuasive on President George Bush and quite  
often he's prevailed.


Asked to comment on Carter's remarks, Megan Mitchell, a spokeswoman  
for the Republican vice president, said, We're not going to engage  
in this type of rhetoric.


Carter, a Democrat who was president from 1977 to 1981 and won the  
2002 Nobel Peace prize for his charitable work, is a strong critic of  
the Iraq war and has often been outspoken in his criticism of  
President George W. Bush.


In a newspaper interview in May, Carter called the Bush  
administration the worst in history in international relations.


Carter did have kind words in the BBC interview for U.S. Secretary of  
State Condoleezza Rice.


I'm filled with admiration for Condoleezza Rice in standing up to  
(Cheney) which she did even when she was in the White House under  
President George W. Bush, Carter said, referring to Rice's former  
role as White House national security adviser.


Now secretary of state, her influence is obviously greater than it  
was then and I hope she prevails, Carter added.

October 10, 2007 -- Closeted GOP gay senator on deck to be outed

WMR has learned that the GOP, still reeling from the men's room toe  
tapping performance of Idaho Senator Larry Craig in a Minneapolis  
Airport toilet stall, will soon face another major outing of a gay  
Republican senator.


Just as Craig has embarrassed the GOP in the solid red state of  
Idaho, the impending outing of another GOP senator in another solidly  
red state will diminish the chances of the Republicans to prevent  
next year a Democratic electoral tsunami in Congress, particularly in  
the Senate.


WMR has been told that South Carolina Republican Senator Lindsey  
Graham is the next to be outed in what may be a series of outings of  
Republicans in the Senate and House. The outing of Graham will pose  
problems for the Defense Department and the Bush administration. The  
Pentagon's don't ask, don't tell policy on gays in the military  
will be tested by revelations about Graham because he is a Colonel in  
the U.S. Air Force Reserves.


If Graham is not the subject of an administrative hearing for  
suitability for retention in the service, other gays and lesbians who  
have received less- than-honorable discharges for reasons of  
homosexuality will have ready-made legal cases to seek either  
reinstatement or monetary damages.


Graham is up for re-election next year. The expected controversy  
surrounding his sexual orientation is sure to result in a GOP primary  
challenger from the right who will attack Graham on his orientation  
as well as his stance on immigration.

The Republican party is going down fast, and it's about time.  
They're full of shit, hypocritical, idiots. Is that why Bush is

And if it does go down, it will be replaced by another stooge

as George LoBuono above so eoloquently puts it, I'll add:

Nancy Pelosi on the protestors outside her home:

What we need is a hit list of Democrats who We the People can take  
aim at and throw out on their asses in every election from no on. We  
can't change the two party duopoly in the short term and we can't  
throw our votes away on third options no matter how good they are;  
so, if the Democrats are too fat and sassy to shape up, let's ship

S. Africa's silent war in Iraq
Apartheid-era hired guns drawn by money

By Paul Salopek

Tribune foreign correspondent

October 7, 2007

PRETORIA, South Africa

Andre Durant, a burly policeman from this leafy African capital, was  
kidnapped 10 months ago by unidentified gunmen in Iraq. Apart from  
one brief phone call, in which Durant managed to shout a strangled I  
love you to his wife, he hasn't been heard from since.


Yet there are no yellow ribbons trimming Durant's quiet suburban  
Pretoria house, as hopeful ribbons might adorn the home of a U.S.  
soldier missing in Iraq. There has been no drumbeat of sympathetic  
news coverage about his case, as one would expect when a local man  
gets sucked into a global story in the world's most notorious war  
zone. Indeed, Durant's family, like the families of three other South  
Africans who were snatched with Durant in a Baghdad ambush in  
December, has maintained an anguished and puzzling silence for the  
better part of a year.


And in that hush lies a clue to this African nation's murky and angst- 
ridden participation in America's military adventure in the Middle  
East: Durant is one of thousands of South African police officers and  
soldiers, most of them white veterans of the old apartheid regime,  
who have left their jobs to work as private security contractors in  
Iraq -- a semiclandestine exodus of hired guns that has alternately  
embarrassed and alarmed the pacifist government here.


Maybe in the States soldiers' wives can talk about these things to  
ease their loss, said Lourika Durant, who has kept a low profile for  
months not only to safeguard negotiations for her kidnapped husband's  
release, but because of the stigma attached to operatives who  
freelance in a war deeply unpopular in South Africa. Here we must  
suffer alone, without making waves.


The Sept. 16 killings of up to 11 Iraqi civilians by guards from the  
security firm Blackwater USA have rekindled intense debate in the  
U.S. over the propriety of outsourcing security responsibilities in  
Iraq to scores of private companies. But the acrimony in America  
can't begin to match the political hand-wringing that surrounds the  
issue in South Africa.


Sensitive to its apartheid-era reputation for exporting soldiers of  
fortune to wars across Africa, the young, black-led government in  
Pretoria recently drafted the harshest anti-mercenary bill in the  
world, a measure that would criminalize virtually all of its citizens  
working in Iraq.


And as the war grinds through its fifth year, there is growing  
concern that Iraq's drain on skilled police and military personnel  
may be crippling the nation's elite security services. Local media  
reports warn that tactical police units in major cities are being  
thinned by the stampede of officers to Baghdad. And a former South  
African military officer who runs his own security firm conceded that  
most of the nation's best special forces trainers now are on the U.S.  
contracting payroll in Iraq.


South Africa's national police force, meanwhile, has begun offering  
its most experienced staff monthly bonuses of about $900, in part to  
stanch the flight of talent.


We don't deny that there has been an exodus, said Selby Bokaba, a  
police spokesman. We simply can't compete with the obscene salaries  
that our officers are being offered in Iraq.


Wages for private contractors who work as bodyguards, convoy escorts  
and oil field security workers in Iraq average about $10,000 a month  
-- more than 10 times the pay of a South African army or police captain.


Up to 10,000 in Iraq

Nobody knows how many South Africans have signed up for such  
hazardous duty. The foreign affairs ministry puts the number as high  
as 10,000, though industry experts and U.S. contracting firms say the  
figure is far smaller, more like 2,000 to 3,000 men. Still, even the  
lower estimate would make South Africans the third-largest contingent  
of armed foreigners deployed in Iraq after Washington's closest  
military ally, Britain.


A Blackwater spokeswoman, Anne Tyrrell, said no South Africans were  
currently employed by her security firm in Iraq. She said the  
company's main contract, guarding State Department officials,  
requires a U.S. security clearance. Industry sources said most of  
South Africa's guns for hire rent their services to British  
companies, or U.S. companies with strong South African ties.

October 11, 2007 -- Rahm Emanuel: the mini-Rove of the Democratic Party

US Representative Rahm Emanuel, the chairman of the House Democratic  
Caucus and former chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign  
Committee (DCCC), has a history of penetrating opposition political  
campaigns in a manner reminiscent of Karl Rove.


WMR has learned that Emanuel went to work for Ohio Senator John  
Glenn's presidential campaign in Illinois in 1984 with the intention  
of disrupting it. A Glenn campaign worker told WMR that he got into a  
physical altercation with Emanuel after Emanuel attempted to take  
control of campaign responsibilities without authorization. Glenn had  
an off-and-on stormy relationship with Ohio's other Democratic  
senator, Howard Metzenbaum, a strong supporter of Israel.


Emanuel again crossed paths with the Glenn campaign official in 1988.  
The former Glenn official was working for Illinois Senator Paul  
Simon's presidential campaign and Emanuel again appeared on the  
scene. Simon's campaign ultimately failed with Massachusetts Governor  
Michael Dukakis, another strong supporter of Israel, picking up the  
Democratic nomination.


Emanuel served in the Israel Defense Force during Desert Storm in  
1991. Emanuel's father, Benjamin Emanuel, was a member of the Israeli  
terrorist group Irgun Zvai Leumi, whose ideological mentor was Ze'ev  
Jabotinsky, a Jewish fascist who admired Italy's dictator and Adolf  
Hitler ally Benito Mussolini. Jabotinsky is, along with German-born  
Leo Strauss, a founder of the modern neo-conservative movement, which  
has strong underpinnings in fascist and National Socialist ideology.  
The Irgun blew up the King David Hotel in Jerusalem in 1946, killing  
and wounding a number of British soldiers. The group also specialized  
in planting bombs in Arab markets (souks) in Palestine, killing a  
number of civilians.


WMR has heard from a number of Democratic congressional candidates in  
California, Florida, Missouri, Illinois, Virginia, Minnesota,  
Michigan, Ohio, and Georgia who have complained that Emanuel acts as  
a political litmus test gatekeeper, ensuring that only those  
Democrats swearing allegiance to strong support for Israel and a  
strong US military presence in the Middle East receive Democratic  
campaign contributions and political support. The Democrats would  
have increased their numbers in the House in 2006 had Emanuel's DCCC  
provided more funds for cash-strapped Democratic candidates in  
congressional districts where GOP incumbents were vulnerable.


Although Emanuel is from Illinois, he is not supporting Democratic  
presidential candidate and Illinois US Senator Barack Obama. Emanuel,  
a former official in the Bill Clinton White House, is strongly in  
Hillary Clinton's camp.

Emanuel starved Col. Bob Bowman for cash in Bowman's Florida '06  
congressional race. Col. Bowman was outspent 30 to 1, I believe and  
still won 44% of the vote. Col. Bowman is also an outspoken proponent  
of a new and real investigation of 9/11.


Is that an investigation Emanuel does not want to take place,  
for fear of where it may lead, perhaps?

Here's an important article from CounterPunch:

http://www.counterpunch.org/taylor10102007.html

One of the unintended consequences of 911 was that it brought a  
sense of we are all in this together between the races in the USA  
and in particular between Blacks and Whites. I witnessed many  
poignant moments on that fateful day while watching TV of Black  
victims helping White victims and the reverse. It was hard not to

George Orwell would have been impressed by the phrase enhanced  
interrogation technique.  By relying on it, the White House  
spokesman last week was able to say with a straight face that the  
administration strongly opposed torture and that any procedures  
they use are tough, safe, necessary, and lawful.

So is enhanced interrogation torture?  One way to answer this  
question is to examine history.  The phrase has a lineage.   
Verscharfte Vernehmung, enhanced or intensified interrogation, was  
the exact term invented by Hitler's Gestapo to describe what became  
known as the third degree.  The United States prosecuted it as a  
war crime in 1948.

The penalty for those who were found guilty was death.
This is how far we've come.

*Bush's Torturers Follow Where the Nazis Led*
By Andrew Sullivan
10/07/07
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/comment/columnists/ 
andrew_sullivan/article2602564.ece

The Times -- I remember that my first response to the reports of  
abuse and
torture at Guantanamo Bay was to accuse the accusers of  
exaggeration or
deliberate deception.  I didn't believe America would ever do those  
things.  I'd
also supported George W. Bush in 2000, believed it necessary to  
give the
president the benefit of the doubt in wartime, and knew Donald  
Rumsfeld as a friend.

It struck me as a no-brainer that this stuff was being invented by  
the far left
or was part of Al-Qaeda propaganda.  After all, they train captives  
to lie about
this stuff, dont they?  Bottom line: I trusted the president in  
a time of war to
obey the rule of law that we were and are defending.  And then I  
was forced to

confront the evidence.

From almost the beginning of the war, it is now indisputable, the Bush
administration made a strong and formative decision: in the absence  
of good
intelligence on the Islamist terror threat after 9/11, it would do  
what no
American administration had done before.  It would torture  
detainees to get

information.

This decision was and is illegal, and violates America's treaty  
obligations, the
military code of justice, the United Nations convention against  
torture, and U.S.
law. Although America has allied itself over the decades with some  
unsavoury
regimes around the world and has come close to acquiescing to  
torture, it has
never itself tortured.  It has also, in liberating the world from  
the evils of
Nazism and communism, and in crafting the Geneva conventions, done  
more than any
other nation to banish torture from the world.  George Washington  
himself vowed
that it would be a defining mark of the new nation that such  
tactics, used by the

British in his day, would be anathema to Americans.

But Bush decided that 9/11 changed all that. Islamists were  
apparently more
dangerous than the Nazis or the Soviets, whom Americans fought and  
defeated
without resorting to torture.  The decision to enter what Dick  
Cheney called the
dark side was made, moreover, in secret; interrogators who had no  
idea how to do
these things were asked to replicate some of the methods U.S.  
soldiers had been

trained to resist if captured by the Soviets or Vietcong.

Classic torture techniques, such as waterboarding, hypothermia,  
beatings,
excruciating stress positions, days and days of sleep deprivation,  
and threats to
family members (even the children of terror suspects), were  
approved by Bush and
inflicted on an unknown number of terror suspects by American  
officials, C.I.A.
agents and, in the chaos of Iraq, incompetents and sadists at Abu  
Ghraib.  And
when the horror came to light, they denied all of it and prosecuted  
a few grunts
at the lowest level.  The official reports were barred from  
investigating fully

up the chain of command.

Legally, the White House knew from the start that it was on  
extremely shaky
ground. And so officials told pliant in-house lawyers to concoct  
memos to make
what was illegal legal.  Their irritation with the rule of law, and  
their belief
that the president had the constitutional authority to waive it,  
became a

hallmark of their work.

They redefined torture solely as something that would be equivalent  
to the loss
of major organs or leading to imminent death.  Everything else was  
what was first

called coercive interrogation, subsequently amended to enhanced
interrogation.  These terms were

Cardinal calls for Jews to stop calling Jesus a bastard

By Ben Martin
Last Updated: 12:14am BST 06/10/2007

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2007/10/06/ 
wjesus106.xml

A senior American cardinal has asked Jews to reconsider  
descriptions of Jesus as a bastard, in exchange for a softening  
of traditional Catholic prayers calling for Jews to be converted to  
Christianity.

The controversial comments, by Cardinal Francis George of the  
Archdiocese of Chicago, concern a prayer said during Easter  
celebrations by the small number of parishes or priests who  
celebrate a particular form of Good Friday mass.

Those version of Good Friday prayers calls for the congregation to  
pray for Jews to be converted to Christianity.

But Cardinal George said this prayer should be amended to ensure it  
did not offend Jews.

I suspect (the amendment) probably will be (made), because the  
intention is to be sure that our prayers are not offensive to the  
Jewish people who are our ancestors in the faith, Cardinal George  
said in an interview with the National Catholic Reporter.

We can't possibly insult them in our liturgy … not that any group  
has a veto on anybody's prayers, because you can go through Jewish  
texts and find material that is offensive to us. But if we're  
interested in keeping the dialogue strong, and we have to be, we  
should be very cautious about any prayer that they find insulting.

But this should mean that Jews, in turn, consider amending their  
own religious texts, he said.

It works both ways.  This is an opening to say, 'Would you care to  
look at the Talmudic literature's description of Jesus as a  
bastard, and so on, and maybe make a few changes there?'

Bill Maher on Controlled Demolition 911 theories

Crazy people who still think the government brought down the Twin  
Towers in a controlled explosion, the comedian jabbed, have to  
stop pretending that I'm the one who's being naive.

How big a lunatic do you have to be to watch two giant airliners  
packed with jet fuel slam into buildings on live TV, igniting a  
massive inferno that burned for two hours, and then think 'well, if  
you believe that was the cause, he continued, adding that people  
should stop asking me to raise this ridiculous topic on the show  
and start asking your doctor if Paxil is right for you.
I have strong doubts that we have been told the truth about the  
events of September 11. There are a few good researchers like Peter  
Dale Scott and Daniel Hopsicker who are trying to get to the truth.  
The average 911 truther, however, makes the typical JFK conspiracy  
buff look like a paragon of reason.

The Saudi Arabian government will temporarily release 55 prisoners  
recently transferred from the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo  
Bay, Cuba and will give each of them about $2,600 to celebrate the  
upcoming Muslim holiday of Eid al-Fitr, a newspaper reported Saturday.

Conservative blogger John Cole of Balloon Juice criticizes  
Republicans --in rather strong terms-- after they went after 12  
year old Graeme Frost and his family.

I used to mock Dave Neiwert when he called these guys proto- 
fascists.  Hell, I used to link half these folks, have them on my  
blogroll.

I was wrong. Dave was right. These people are authoritarian thugs.
I simply can not believe this is what the Republican party has  
become. I just can’t. It just makes me sick to think all those  
years of supporting this party, and this is what it has become.  
Even if you don’t like the S-Chip expansion, it is hard to deny  
what Republicans are --  a bunch of bitter, nasty, petty, snarling,  
sneering, vicious thugs, peering through people’s windows just so  
they can make fun of their misfortune.

I’m registering Independent tomorrow.

Conservative blogger links Fred Thompson to al Qaeda

The most important thing I learned from yesterday's Republican  
Presidential Debate is that not only is Senator Fred Thompson  
completely dull, but he still employs former Senator Spencer  
Abraham--Hezbollah's, Al-Qaeda's, and the PLO's best friend in the  
U.S. Senate--at the top of his campaign.

42% Believe U.S. Tortures Prisoners, 27% Say It Should

Only 27% of Americans are pro-torture. Only slightly lower than  
Bush's approval ratings.

'Dirty War' priest gets life term

Hawaiian Islands Contaminated
With Ballistic Uranium
10-6-7
http://rense.com/general78/hawa.htm

The US Army admitted the radiological contamination of Hawaii in  
the summer of 2007. The contamination was later confirmed by the  
senior US Senator from Hawaii, The Honorable Daniel Inouye. The  
first 2007 Army air born radiological contamination survey  
identified 45 locations with dangerous levels of Gamma Ray  
radiation from US Army uranium munitions. Satellite radiation

Hawaiian Islands Are Contaminated with
Ballistic Uranium
By Lindafaye Kroll RN BSN
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Army admits to the contamination of Hawaiian islands with depleted  
uranium spotting rounds on Schofield Barracks, O'ahu and Pohakuloa  
Training Area, Hawai'i Island. Help us save paradise from this most  
toxic substance.

Public comment to U.S. Army SEIS deadline Oct. 30, 2007
Email Army at  mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]  
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hawaii Tourism Authority at   
mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]  
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
(Hawaii) Depleted uranium (DU) is stored in Hawai'i under the Naval  
Radioactive Materials Permit. The Navy accidentally fired two DU  
rounds from Pearl Harbor in 1994. The rounds landed somewhere above  
Aiea and were never recovered. The Environmental Impact Statement  
of the 25th Infantry Transformation to the Stryker Brigade Combat  
Team published in 2004 states emphatically that depleted uranium  
munitions were never part of the Army's arsenal.
Despite this claim spent DU spotting rounds were found at Schofield  
Barracks, (An army base and live-fire training range on O'ahu), in  
August 2005. This discovery was not disclosed by the military but  
through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) instigated by concerned  
residents of Hawai'i.
In August 2007 the army admits the Pohakuloa Training Area (An army  
base and live-fire training range on Hawai'i Island) is also  
contaminated with depleted uranium spotting rounds. There are  
hundreds and hundreds of these spent DU rounds on these two live- 
fire training ranges.
Any uranium product used as munitions becomes ballistic once it is  
fired, launched or dropped. Ballistic depleted uranium  
contamination is a serious problem in Hawai'i.
Depleted uranium is a toxic radioactive waste product of the  
nuclear industry that has a half life of over 4 billion years. In  
other words, DU is radioactive forever.
The military claims that depleted uranium munitions are low level  
radioactivity and are not harmful to health and environment. The  
military's claims are false.
The military's talking points are about the solid form depleted  
uranium, the military never addresses Hawai'i residents' concerns,  
which is the ballistic form of depleted uranium. When depleted  
uranium munitions are used in war or artillery practices, these  
munitions have a devastating effect on public health and the  
environment.
Once DU munitions are launched, they become ballistic. They catch  
fire, and on impact they can punch through anything with tremendous  
force causing trillions of tiny radioactive particles of DU dust to  
be scattered in the environment and carried in the air.
This is when the real public health problem begins. Once airborne,  
these vaporized radioactive heavy metal particles can be inhaled or  
ingested because of radioactive contamination of air, food or water  
supply.
Many of our U.S. Veterans, serving in combat areas that use DU  
munitions, are getting sick. Support legislation to test our troops  
returning from Iraq for depleted uranium.
We must stand up for Hawai'i. We must protect our precious islands  
and our veterans.

The military live-fire ranges in Hawai'i are radioactive!
See www.sbct-seis.org/ (published July 2007, chapter 3 page 7  
Depleted Uranium).
We want all live-fire military training stopped in paradise. We  
want the Stryker Brigade Combat Team to relocate elsewhere.
We want our sacred lands to be cleaned up. Practicing to make war  
in the land of Aloha is inappropriate.
Please be pro-active and help us protect Hawai'i; demand the  
military not store, use or transport depleted uranium in the  
Hawaiian Islands.
Five million tourists visit Hawai'i every year. Would they stop  
visiting if they knew how contaminated Hawai'i is?
We are asking for people all over the world who love Hawai'i to  
help us protect Hawai'i. Write to the U.S Army by October 30 at

Bohemian Grove Human Sacrifice Ritual

to Appear on Cartoon Network

Outlaw News
October 6, 2007

http://www.outlawjournalism.com/news/?p=6211

The Grove as it appears in the cartoon (left) appears to be modeled  
after the real thing as it appeared in the Alex Jones film, ‘Dark  
Secrets Inside Bohemian Grove.
Lucy, Daughter of the Devil, is an ‘adult cartoon’, part of the  
Turner Broadcasting owned Cartoon Network’s late night line-up. It  
is a 10 minute CGI comedy show; the plot follows an eccentric and  
im-witted Satan, who is living in San Francisco, trying to convince  
his 21-year-old daughter, Lucy, to assume her role as the  
Antichrist. Along the course of their adventures, Lucy meets and  
begins to court ‘DJ Jesús’, a laid back techno DJ who turns out to  
be the second coming of Christ. The show is heavy with blasphemous  
shocks, but as it is sadly lacking it wit, it rates among the lower  
end shows featured in the ‘Adult Swim’ programming block; without  
the talents of H. Jon Benjamen, the brilliant voice actor who  
providing the voice of Satan, the show likely never would have made  
it past the pilot.

This Sunday an episode of the show entitled ‘Human Sacrifice’ will  
air, in which the Devil is summoned to attend a ritual human  
sacrifice at the Bohemian Grove in Northern California, held to  
honor a senator who has been chosen to be elected as the next  
president.  DJ Jesús is chosen to serve as the sacrificial victim,  
and is lured to the Grove under the pretext that he will be DJing  
the ‘most amazing dance party/orgy/political summit on the planet’,  
which he is told is like the movie ‘Eyes Wide Shut’, except Alan  
Greenspan and Bono will be there.

The Grove, as it appears in the show, was clearly modeled after  
actual footage of the site which appeared in Alex Jones’ film ‘Dark  
Secrets Inside Bohemian Grove’, or from the memory of someone who  
has attended. The ritual begins with torches lighting up the night,  
and the crowd, which contains ‘half of Washington’, chanting ‘Hail  
Satan’. The Devil appears and declares that ‘ten presidents have  
announced their candidacy in front of this unholy alter’, before  
introducing a comedian to give a pre-sacrifice routine of poop  
jokes that the Devil had written for him in exchange for his soul.  
A bit of cartoon mayhem ensues with DJ Jesús escaping the sacrifice  
in order to provide the music for the crowd. The show finishes by  
zooming out of an aerial view of the grove, displaying its real- 
life location in Northern California.

I have no doubt that many people within the Truth Movement will  
attempt to claim that this show was intended to somehow ‘expose the  
elite’, just as they did when South Park made a brutal mockery of  
9/11 Truth.  I do not believe that this is the case. In recent  
years we have seen several examples of this type of public display  
of the occult nature of the ruling elite, all of which, save  
Kubrick’s ‘Eyes Wide Shut’ and a couple others, have been done  
through some form of comedy. It is my assertion that orders for  
this kind of exposure must in some way trickle down from the top,  
or it would not be allowed at all.

Their motivation in doing this is part of what Alice Bailey called  
the ‘externalization of the hierarchy’, a process through which  
those occult masters who have ruled the planet throughout history  
voluntarily expose themselves and their true nature. This is to be  
a slow process where we, the public, are gradually familiarized  
with the concept through the use of gradualism.  Comedy shows are  
the most effective way of doing this, as they put us in such a mood  
that we are not thinking about what we see in a serious or rational  
way, and are thus much more susceptible to being familiarized with  
concepts that would normally evoke fear or revulsion if they were  
not presented in such a light-hearted manner.

Expect to see more and more of this type of thing in the future.

Oil bourse update: Japanese to pay Iran in Yen
Oct 9, 2007

Cosmo and Japan Energy will pay for Iran's crude in yen
At Iran's request, two Japanese oil refining companies have started  
to pay Iran in yen instead of US dollars in exchange for oil imports.

Recent reports indicate that Japanese refiners Cosmo Oil Co. and  
Japan Energy Corp. have decided to stop paying Iran in US dollars  
in exchange for oil imports, following Iran's request. By asking  
its customers to pay in currencies other than the dollar, Iran aims  
to counter US pressure and protect itself against the weakening  
American currency.

Cosmo, Japan's fourth largest refiner with a production capacity of  
635,000 barrels a day, started paying Iran in yen in September,  
said the company's spokesman, Tatsuya Yano. Iran's crude amounted  
to 11 percent of what the company processed in the last fiscal year  
that ended in March, he added.

Japan Energy is the country's sixth-largest refiner that consumes  
around 400,000 barrels a day of crude. Around 12 percent of that  
amount comes from Iran.

We buy all Iranian crude through traders. One of the traders  
agreed to pay in yen. So, we will pay in yen for part of our  
Iranian crude purchase, said Japan Energy spokesman, Masanori Takada.

Earlier, Japan's largest refiner, Nippon Oil Corp., had also  
announced that it would be paying in yen in return for Iranian oil.  
Nippon Oil imports over 110,000 barrels of oil from Iran every day.

We have to make responsible decisions in the Congress that are not  
driven by the dissatisfaction of anybody who wants the war to end  
tomorrow, Pelosi told the gathering at the Sofitel, arranged by  
the Christian Science Monitor.

Though crediting activists for their passion, Pelosi called it a  
waste of time for them to target Democrats. They are advocates,  
she said. We are leaders.

Sounds like Bush, doesn't it?  We are the DECIDERS -- The people  
can go to hell!

Since when is it a responsible decision to fund the slaughter of  
innocent people in a criminal war?

These leaders of ours are war criminals and members of an  
aristocracy of moneyed power, political affiliation notwithstanding.

They have nothing but disdain for the laws they are sworn to  
support and defend.

Smile, Though Your Head Is Aching
By Dana Milbank
Washington Post, October 10, 2007; A02

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/10/09/ 
AR2007100902006_pf.html

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was in a determinedly good mood when she  
sat down to lunch with reporters yesterday. She entered the room  
beaming and, over the course of an hour, smiled no fewer than 31  
times and got off at least 23 laughs.

But her spirits soured instantly when somebody asked about the  
anger of the Democratic base over her failure to end the war in  
Iraq.

Look, she said, the chicken breast on her plate untouched. I  
had, for five months, people sitting outside my home, going into my  
garden in San Francisco, angering neighbors, hanging their clothes  
from trees, building all kinds of things -- Buddhas? I don't know  
what they were -- couches, sofas, chairs, permanent living  
facilities on my front sidewalk.

Unsmilingly, she continued: If they were poor and they were  
sleeping on my sidewalk, they would be arrested for loitering, but  
because they have 'Impeach Bush' across their chest, it's the First  
Amendment.

Though opposed to the war herself, Pelosi has for months been a  
target of an antiwar movement that believes she hasn't done enough.  
Cindy Sheehan has announced a symbolic challenge to Pelosi in  
California's 8th Congressional District. And the speaker is seething.

We have to make responsible decisions in the Congress that are not  
driven by the dissatisfaction of anybody who wants the war to end  
tomorrow, Pelosi told the gathering at the Sofitel, arranged by  
the Christian Science Monitor. Though crediting activists for their  
passion, Pelosi called it a waste of time for them to target  
Democrats. They are advocates, she said. We are leaders.

It was a rather fierce response to the party's liberal base, which  
frightens many a congressional Democrat. But it wasn't out of  
character for the new speaker. Pelosi's fixed and constant smile  
makes her appear as if she is cutting an ad for a whitening  
toothpaste. But when you listen to the words that come from her  
grinning maw, the smile seems more akin to that of a barracuda.

One reporter asked about Democratic lawmakers who proposed a tax  
increase for the war. They were not making legislation; they were  
making a point, Pelosi judged.

Another asked about a Republican congressman's complaints that the  
word God was removed from certificates accompanying congressional  
flags. I don't know what his point is, Pelosi volleyed.

Complaints that she didn't go far enough on climate-change  
legislation? We did not say we were going to do any more than we  
did.

The Senate's stalemate on the war? We in the House will not be  
confining our legislation initiatives to what is legislatively  
possible in the Senate.

Pelosi admitted no mistakes and claimed no regrets as she reflected  
on her first session in the speaker's chair. I'm very proud of the  
work of this Congress, she declared. Evidently so: She repeated  
how proud she was nine times. Passing the recommendations of the  
9/11 commission made her very proud, while energy legislation  
made her very, very proud, and new ethics rules made her  
especially proud.

What do you see as your greatest mistake? asked one reporter.

Pelosi smiled. Why don't you tell me? she proposed. She smiled  
again, then laughed.  'Cause I think we're doing just great. She  
laughed again.

Even those approval ratings for Congress, in the teens and 20s,  
didn't evoke regrets. I don't like the numbers for Congress, she  
admitted, but I'm very pleased with the Democratic numbers. She  
then took an unusual detour into polling minutiae. Today the  
Rasmussen numbers were the third time that we were double-digit  
ahead in the generic, she

White House Leak to Fox News

Severed a Link to Al-Qaeda's Secrets

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/10/09/ 
AR2007100900791_2.html?hpid=topnews

snip

... SITE -- an acronym for the Search for International Terrorist  
Entities -- was established in 2002 with the stated goal of  
tracking and exposing terrorist groups, according to the company's  
Web site. Katz, an Iraqi-born Israeli citizen whose father was  
executed by Saddam Hussein in the 1960s, has made the investigation  
of terrorist groups a passionate quest.

Quoting Rita Katz --a Jersey housewife stereotypically married to a  
doctor-- who operates SITE as a home-based business out of her  
garage: Mata Hari has nothing on me.

We were able to establish sources that provided us with unique and  
important information into al-Qaeda's hidden world, Katz said. Her  
company's income is drawn from subscriber fees and contracts.

Katz said she decided to offer an advance copy of the bin Laden  
video to the White House without charge so officials there could  
prepare for its eventual release.

She spoke first with White House counsel Fred F. Fielding, whom she  
had previously met, and then with Joel Bagnal, deputy assistant to  
the president for homeland security. Both expressed interest in  
obtaining a copy, and Bagnal suggested that she send a copy to  
Michael Leiter, who holds the No. 2 job at the National  
Counterterrorism Center.

Administration and intelligence officials would not comment on  
whether they had obtained the video separately. Katz said Fielding  
and Bagnal made it clear to her that the White House did not  
possess a copy at the time she offered hers.

Around 10 a.m. on Sept. 7, Katz sent both Leiter and Fielding an e- 
mail with a link to a private SITE Web page containing the video  
and an English transcript. Please understand the necessity for  
secrecy, Katz wrote in her e-mail. We ask you not to  
distribute . . . [as] it could harm our investigations.

Fielding replied with an e-mail expressing gratitude to Katz. It  
is you who deserves the thanks, he wrote, according to a copy of  
the message. There was no record of a response from Leiter or the  
national intelligence director's office.

Exactly what happened next is unclear. But within minutes of Katz's  
e-mail to the White House, government-registered computers began  
downloading the video from SITE's server, according to a log of  
file transfers. The records show dozens of downloads over the next  
three hours from computers with addresses registered to defense and  
intelligence agencies.

By midafternoon, several television news networks reported  
obtaining copies of the transcript. A copy posted around 3 p.m. on  
the Fox News Web site referred to SITE and included page markers  
identical to those used by the group. This confirms that the U.S.  
government was responsible for the leak of this document, Katz  
wrote in an e-mail to Leiter at 5 p.m.

Al-Qaeda supporters, now alerted to the intrusion into their secret  
network, put up new obstacles that prevented SITE from gaining the  
kind of access it had obtained in the past, according to Katz.

A small number of private intelligence companies compete with SITE  
in scouring terrorists' networks for information and messages, and  
some have questioned the company's motives and methods, including  
the claim that its access to al-Qaeda's network was unique. One  
competitor, Ben Venzke, founder of IntelCenter, said he questions  
SITE's decision -- as described by Katz -- to offer the video to  
White House policymakers i.e., PR men rather than quietly share  
it with intelligence analysts.

It is not just about getting the video first, Venzke said. It is  
about having the proper methods and procedures in place to make  
sure that the appropriate intelligence gets to where it needs to go  
in the intelligence community and elsewhere in order to support  
ongoing counterterrorism operations.

Staff writer Spencer S. Hsu contributed to this report.

This new video was not posted on any established Islamic web  
site.  It was 'intercepted' by a Jew named Rita Katz and turned  
over to the news.  This is not the first Al-Qaeda tape that Rita  
Katz has turned over to the news.

If this is for real, it's pretty scary.
http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2007/10/the_storm_worm.html

Schneier on Security
October 04, 2007

The Storm Worm
The Storm worm first appeared at the beginning of the year, hiding  
in e-mail attachments with the subject line: 230 dead as storm  
batters Europe. Those who opened the attachment became infected,  
their computers joining an ever-growing botnet.

Although it's most commonly called a worm, Storm is really more: a  
worm, a Trojan horse and a bot all rolled into one. It's also the  
most successful example we have of a new breed of worm, and I've  
seen estimates that between 1 million and 50 million computers have  
been infected worldwide.

Old style worms -- Sasser, Slammer, Nimda -- were written by  
hackers looking for fame. They spread as quickly as possible  
(Slammer infected 75,000 computers in 10 minutes) and garnered a  
lot of notice in the process. The onslaught made it easier for  
security experts to detect the attack, but required a quick  
response by antivirus companies, sysadmins and users hoping to  
contain it. Think of this type of worm as an infectious disease  
that shows immediate symptoms.

Worms like Storm are written by hackers looking for profit, and  
they're different. These worms spread more subtly, without making  
noise. Symptoms don't appear immediately, and an infected computer  
can sit dormant for a long time. If it were a disease, it would be  
more like syphilis, whose symptoms may be mild or disappear  
altogether, but which will eventually come back years later and eat  
your brain.

Storm represents the future of malware. Let's look at its behavior:

Storm is patient. A worm that attacks all the time is much easier  
to detect; a worm that attacks and then shuts off for a while hides  
much more easily.
Storm is designed like an ant colony, with separation of duties.  
Only a small fraction of infected hosts spread the worm. A much  
smaller fraction are C2: command-and-control servers. The rest  
stand by to receive orders. By only allowing a small number of  
hosts to propagate the virus and act as command-and-control  
servers, Storm is resilient against attack. Even if those hosts  
shut down, the network remains largely intact, and other hosts can  
take over those duties.
Storm doesn't cause any damage, or noticeable performance impact,  
to the hosts. Like a parasite, it needs its host to be intact and  
healthy for its own survival. This makes it harder to detect,  
because users and network administrators won't notice any abnormal  
behavior most of the time.
Rather than having all hosts communicate to a central server or set  
of servers, Storm uses a peer-to-peer network for C2. This makes  
the Storm botnet much harder to disable. The most common way to  
disable a botnet is to shut down the centralized control point.  
Storm doesn't have a centralized control point, and thus can't be  
shut down that way.
This technique has other advantages, too. Companies that monitor  
net activity can detect traffic anomalies with a centralized C2  
point, but distributed C2 doesn't show up as a spike.  
Communications are much harder to detect.

One standard method of tracking root C2 servers is to put an  
infected host through a memory debugger and figure out where its  
orders are coming from. This won't work with Storm: An infected  
host may only know about a small fraction of infected hosts --  
25-30 at a time -- and those hosts are an unknown number of hops  
away from the primary C2 servers.

And even if a C2 node is taken down, the system doesn't suffer.  
Like a hydra with many heads, Storm's C2 structure is distributed.

Not only are the C2 servers distributed, but they also hide behind  
a constantly changing DNS technique called fast flux. So even if  
a compromised host is isolated and debugged, and a C2 server  
identified through the cloud, by that time it may no longer be active.
Storm's payload -- the code it uses to spread -- morphs every 30  
minutes or so, making typical AV (antivirus) and IDS techniques  
less effective.
Storm's delivery mechanism also changes regularly. Storm started  
out as PDF spam, then its programmers started using e-cards and  
YouTube invites -- anything to entice users to click on a phony  
link. Storm also started posting blog-comment spam, again trying to  
trick viewers into clicking infected links. While these sorts of  
things are pretty standard worm tactics, it does highlight how  
Storm is constantly shifting at all levels.
The Storm e-mail also changes all the time, leveraging social  
engineering techniques. There are always new subject lines and new  
enticing text: A killer at 11, he's free at 21 and ..., football

October 8, 2007 -- 180 Buddhist monks had their heads crushed by riot  
police


WMR has been asked to post the following email sent from Bangkok on  
Sept. 28 relaying a communication from Yangon (Rangoon) concerning  
the bloody crackdown on pro-democracy demonstrators. It should be  
noted that Chevron, on whose board Condoleezza Rice once sat (they  
even named one of the supertankers the SS Condoleezza Rice), has  
major interests in Burma. Dennis Hastert and Tom DeLay have also  
expressed support for the Burmese junta (although that may have more  
to do with the junta's well-known ability and willingness to produce  
young underaged sex partners for visiting VIPs, including CODELS  
(congressional delegations).


*Subject:* bludgeoning monks by the 'lone-tein'

We just got phone call with our sister living in Yangon about a few  
hours ago.



We saw on BBC world, saying that 200 monks were arrested.  The true  
picture is far worse.


The monastery at an obscure neighborhood of Yangon, called Ngwe Kyar  
Yan (on Wei-za-yan-tar Road, Yangon) has been raided early this morning.


A troop of lone-tein (riot police comprised of paid thugs) protected  
by the military trucks, raided the monastery with 200 studying  
monks.  They systematically ordered all the monks to line up and  
banged and crushed each one's head against the brick wall of the  
monastery.  One by one, the peaceful, non resisting monks, fell to  
the ground, screaming in pain.  Then, they tore off the red robes and  
threw them all in the military trucks (like rice bags) and took the  
bodies away.


The head monk of the monastery, was tied up in the middle of the  
monastery, tortured , bludgeoned, and later died the same day,  
today.  Tens of thousands of people gathered outside the monastery,  
warded off by troops with bayoneted rifles, unable to help their  
helpless monks being slaughtered inside the monastery.  Their every  
try to forge ahead was met with the bayonets.


When all is done, only 10 out of 200 remained alive, hiding in the  
monastery.  Blood stained everywhere on the walls and floors of the  
monastery.


Please tell your audience of the full extent of the fate of the monks  
please please.


'Arrested' is not enough expression.  They have been bludgeoned to  
death.

Well, from a moral point of view, we should be launching a

Another Toe-Tapping Republican Caught In Sting - Ends Senate Bid
By: Logan Murphy @ 10:46 AM - PDT

Via Down With Tyranny:

Another Republican elected official– a pal of David Diapers Vitter  
no less– caught toe-tappin’ in the boys room! And he wants wanted  
to be a state senator too! Yesterday’s Times-Picayune painted  
another dismal picture of another Republican pervert who trawls  
from public restroom to public restroom looking for… love? Well,  
looking for something. Joey DiFatta is the chairman of St. Bernard  
Parish Council and a prominent Republican leader (until 2004 on the  
GOP state party Executive Committee). He just withdrew from his  
state senate race, after his arrests for lewd behavior in a public  
restroom were made public. Read more…

From the Times-Picayune article it appears DiFatta may have been  
Larry “Super Tuber” Craig’s mentor:

The report said DiFatta slid his foot into the deputy’s stall and  
tapped the deputy’s foot. In the report, Conley noted that such  
activity is common among men to indicate a willingness to  
participate in sex.

The deputy inside the stall, Detective Wayne Couvillion, responded  
by tapping his foot, and DiFatta reached under the partition and  
began to rub the deputy’s leg, the report states.

The detective asked DiFatta, “What do you want?” according to the  
report, and he replied, “I want to play with you.”

Boy in court on terror charges for having book

05 Oct 2007

A British teenager who is accused of possessing material for  
terrorist purposes has appeared in court. The 17-year-old, who was  
arrested in the Dewsbury area of West Yorkshire on Monday, was  
given bail after a hearing at Westminster Magistrates' Court.

It is alleged he had a copy of the Anarchists' Cookbook,  
containing instructions on how to make home-made explosives.

The teenager faces two charges under the Terrorism Act of 2000.

[OMG, doesn't everyone own a copy of that book?]

Student Editor Keeps His Job, but Is Warned About Ethics

08 Oct 2007

A headline in Friday’s Rocky Mountain Collegian hit especially  
close to home for the writers and editors of the college newspaper  
at Colorado State University. Collegian Editor Will Keep His Job,  
it said, reporting that an independent review board that oversees  
The Collegian had decided to admonish, but not fire, the editor.

Editor J. David McSwane had approved a vulgar, four-word editorial  
about Dictator Bush in a space that would usually run to hundreds  
of words.

Long Beach introduces video surveillance at Irish parade

07 Oct 2007

(NY) The many revelers at yesterday's Irish Heritage Festival...  
were being watched and videotaped. Along with the 60 police  
officers on patrol, there were cameras - some obvious, some perched  
on buildings - taking it all in, and a team of officers surveying  
the captured video.

Long Beach police called the cameras, in use for the first time at  
a major event, a force multiplier.

Missouri Man Faces 30-Year Prison Term

for Stealing 52-Cent Doughnut

08 Oct 2007

(Park Hills, MO) Scott A. Masters, 41, has been charged with felony  
second-degree robbery after employees at a Country Mart in this  
town 70 miles south of St. Louis said he slipped a 52-cent doughnut  
into his sweat shirt without paying last December, then pushed away  
a clerk who tried to stop him as he fled the store.

The push is being treated as minor assault, which transforms a  
misdemeanor shoplifting charge to a strong-armed robbery with a  
potential prison term of five to 15 years. Given Masters' criminal  
past, prosecutors could boost that sentence to 30 years to life.

the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency on Friday approved use of  
a new, highly toxic fumigant, mainly for strawberry fields. The new  
pesticide, methyl iodide, is designed for growers, mainly in  
California and Florida, who need to replace methyl bromide, which  
has been banned under an international treaty because it damages  
the Earth's ozone layer. [It's time to put an end to the Bush  
dictatorship.]

 He's back ... Sandy Berger now advising Hillary Clinton

Former National Security Adviser Sandy Berger is shown leaving  
federal court Thu, Sept. 8, 2005 in Washington in this file photo.

WASHINGTON  - Sandy Berger, who stole highly classified terrorism  
documents from the National Archives, destroyed them and lied to  
investigators, is now an adviser to presidential candidate Hillary  
Rodham Clinton. Berger, who was fired from John Kerry’s  
presidential campaign when the scandal broke in 2004, has assumed a  
similar role in Clinton’s campaign, even though his security  
clearance has been suspended until September 2008. This is raising  
eyebrows even among Clinton’s admirers. “It shows poor judgment and  
a lack of regard for Berger’s serious misdeeds,” said law professor  
Jonathan Adler of Case Western Reserve University, who nonetheless  
called Clinton “by far the most impressive candidate in the  
Democratic field.”

Adler told The Examiner that it is “simply incomprehensible to me  
that a serious contender for the presidency would rely upon him as  
a key foreign policy advisor.”

He added: “If Senator Clinton becomes the Democratic nominee, at  
some point she will begin to receive national security briefings  
that will include sensitive information. At such a point,  
continuing to keep Berger on board as a key advisor, where he might  
have access to sensitive material, would be beyond incomprehensible.”

The Clinton campaign declined to comment.

Berger has admitted stealing documents from the National Archives  
in advance of the 9/11 Commission hearings in 2003. The documents,  
written by White House counterterrorism czar Richard Clarke, were a  
“tough review” of the Clinton administration’s shortcomings in  
dealing with terrorism, Clarke’s lawyer told the Washington Post.

On several occasions, Berger stuffed highly classified documents  
into his pants and socks before spiriting them out of the Archives  
building in Washington, according to investigators. On one  
occasion, upon reaching the street, he hid documents under a  
construction trailer after checking the windows of the Archives and  
Justice Department buildings to make sure he was not being watched.

Berger came back later and retrieved the documents, taking them  
home and cutting them up with scissors. Two days later, he was  
informed by Archive employees that his removal of documents had  
been detected.

“Berger panicked because he realized he was caught,” said a report  
by the National Archives inspector general, which also recounted  
his initial reaction. “Berger lied.”

Berger also lied to the public, telling reporters he made an  
“honest mistake” by “inadvertently” taking the documents, which he  
blamed on his own “sloppiness.” Bill Clinton vouched for the  
explanation for Berger, who served as his national security adviser.

Berger later conceded: “I was giving a benign explanation for what  
was not benign.”

The Justice Department initially said Berger stole only copies of  
classified documents and not originals. But the House Government  
Reform Committee later revealed that an unsupervised Berger had  
been given access to classified files of original, uncopied,  
uninventoried documents on terrorism. Several Archives officials  
acknowledged that Berger could have stolen any number of items and  
they “would never know what, if any, original documents were missing.”

At his sentencing in September 2005, Berger was fined $50,000,  
placed on probation for two years and stripped of his security  
clearance for three years.

[CTRL] Fwd: (2) The 21st Century Crusades? The Vatican vs the State of Israel

Subject: (2) The 21st Century Crusades?  The Vatican vs the State  
of Israel

As Christians occupying the Holy Land, and as de facto guardians  
of Christendom's holy sites in Israel, the PALESTINIANS are  
theoretically entitled to the diplomatic protection of the Catholic  
Church.  In the eyes of ultra-conservative Catholics, the  
oppression of the Palestinian people by the State of Israel amounts  
to persecution of native believers in Christ by Jews, the  
murderers of Christ -- a kind of collective crucifixion still  
reeking of the iconic event of 30 AD.

Israel demanding right to buy Greek Orthodox church property

By Meron Rapoport
http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/824151.html

Israel is demanding that the Greek Orthodox patriarchy conduct a  
census of all church property in Israel and the Palestinian  
territories ahead of its sale or long-term lease, and to give  
Israel the first right of refusal on the property.

The two attorney's represent Theophilos, who was elected patriarch  
by the Greek Orthodox Synod about a year and a half ago, and who  
has since then been working to obtain Israel's recognition as  
patriarch.

Sources close to Theophilos said his attorneys were told that the  
acceptance of the clauses in the document were a condition to  
Israel's recognizing him as patriarch. Theophilos' attorneys  
rejected the conditions as an illegal and extraneous intervention  
in church matters.

The document delivered by Eitan to Theophilos' attorneys shows that  
a central issue occupying the committee is how to ensure that Greek  
Orthodox church assets will be sold to Jewish bodies or to the state.

Eitan refused to comment, saying that the matter was currently  
before the court.

The Greek Orthodox church owns tens of thousands of dunams of land  
in the Galilee, central Israel and Jerusalem.

... The Greek Orthodox Church owns vast tracts of land in Israel  
and also lands in Jordan. Patriarch Irenieos I is head of the Greek  
Orthodox Church in Israel, which includes many Palestinians.  
Reports surfaced recently that someone in the Greek Orthodox Church  
leased lands in the Old City of Jerusalem, reportedly just inside  
the Jaffa Gate, to a Jewish organization. Normally there would be  
nothing noteworthy about Jews leasing or purchasing property in  
Palestine as Jews have been doing this for over 100 years in an  
organized manner; and before the advent of modern Zionism in the  
1890s for hundreds of years on an invididual basis.

According to a report in Ma’ariv, one of Israel’s main Hebrew daily  
newspapers, members of the Palestinian Authority went to the Church  
of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem's Old City, organized attacks on  
[Patriarch] Irineous and condemned him as a “collaborator” - a  
crime in the Palestinian Authority punishable by death. Readers  
should appreciate what it means to be labelled 'a collaborator' in  
the Palestinian Authority. Collaborators are shot or hanged in  
public places and their bodies hacked and mutilated by the mob and  
all done with great enthusiasm.

To quote the report further, Irineous was summoned for an  
interrogation by PA Prime Minister Ahmed Qurei and during the  
meeting the arm of Irineous’ lawyer was broken and his financial  
adviser was brutally beaten. Under PA intimidation, the Church’s  
Holy Synod was convened and Irineous was excommunicated. The PA  
took over the Church’s finances. Greece’s Deputy Foreign Minister  
hurriedly went to Ramallah, met PM Qurei and “apologized for the  
terrible crime” of the Patriarch. Irineous has been demoted to the  
status of an ordinary monk.

But the matter does not stop there. The Greek Orthodox Church owns  
land in Jerusalem upon which Israel’s Knesset is situated; also  
land upon which the President’s residence is situated and large  
swathes of land in central Jerusalem, not to mention lands  
throughout Israel. If the Palestinian Authority is the 'efffective  
owner' of all the lands then what will happen when these leases  
expire?
