[cia-drugs] The Dollar
The following is what I posted on my blog this morning: Dear friends, I don't have to cut and paste anything into this post for you today because this is from my pen. The international bankers are deliberately and with mallice determined to destroy the United States of America. They are doing this by controlling the dollar, and I, for one, am sick of it. Today, in the country in which I reside, the dollar has dropped in value below anything I have ever seen it in the nearly two years that I have lived here. Now, the Congress wants to abolish the Federal Reserve Bank, which is a bank that was instituted in fraud and which is not federal and has NO reserves whatsoever. In fact when a bank in the United States loans money to people to buy a home or any of the other myriad of reasons why people need to borrow money, it creates the loan out of thin air. Loans are not made based on the amount of money any given bank possesses from depositors; they are simply written into a ledger. Then, borrowers have to pay back their loan with interest; that money is clear profit for the bank, while Americans struggle to make their payments, the international bankers are laughing at the people all the way to the bank. Please contact your Congressman or woman and tell him/her to initiate legislation to abolish the Federal Reserve Bank, and ask every one of your friends and family to do the same. One of these days the dollar will be worth NOTHING, and then you'll lose everything you have. This is why it is so important to tell your Congress person to initiate this legislation. Thank you.

[cia-drugs] For God�s Sake: PAUL KRUGMAN - And More
For Gods Sake: PAUL KRUGMAN - And More by PAUL KRUGMAN - THE NEW YORK TIMES Friday Apr 13th, 2007 KRUGMAN: The infiltration of the federal government by large numbers of people seeking to impose a religious agenda is one of the most important stories of the last six years. THE COMPLETE ARTICLE AND MORE -- OP-ED COLUMNIST For Gods Sake By PAUL KRUGMAN Published: April 13, 2007 In 1981, Gary North, a leader of the Christian Reconstructionist movement the openly theocratic wing of the Christian right suggested that the movement could achieve power by stealth. Christians must begin to organize politically within the present party structure, he wrote, and they must begin to infiltrate the existing institutional order. Today, Regent University, founded by the televangelist Pat Robertson to provide Christian leadership to change the world, boasts that it has 150 graduates working in the Bush administration. Unfortunately for the image of the school, where Mr. Robertson is chancellor and president, the most famous of those graduates is Monica Goodling, a product of the universitys law school. Shes the former top aide to Alberto Gonzales who appears central to the scandal of the fired U.S. attorneys and has declared that she will take the Fifth rather than testify to Congress on the matter. The infiltration of the federal government by large numbers of people seeking to impose a religious agenda which is very different from simply being people of faith is one of the most important stories of the last six years. Its also a story that tends to go underreported, perhaps because journalists are afraid of sounding like conspiracy theorists. But this conspiracy is no theory. The official platform of the Texas Republican Party pledges to dispel the myth of the separation of church and state. And the Texas Republicans now running the country are doing their best to fulfill that pledge. . . And theres another thing most reporting fails to convey: the sheer extremism of these people. You see, Regent isnt a religious university the way Loyola or Yeshiva are religious universities. Its run by someone whose first reaction to 9/11 was to brand it Gods punishment for Americas sins. . . Next week Rudy Giuliani will be speaking at Regents Executive Leadership Series. --MORE-- http://mparent-3.blogspot.com/2007/04/for-gods-sake-paul-krugman.html Labels: 'Christian' Right, attorneys, Bush, Giuliani, government, News, Pat Robertson, Paul Krugman, Politics, religion, Republicans Pentagon opens civilian claim files against military: Chilling accounts of fatalities Related ACLU Releases Files on Civilian Casualties in Afghanistan and Iraq: See story and link to database following this story. http://mparent-3.blogspot.com/2007/04/pentagon-opens-civilian-claim-files.html Where You Want This Killin' Done? http://mparent-2.blogspot.com/2007/04/where-you-want-this-killin-done.html ROVE KEPT DELETING EMAILS AFTER FITZGERALD SAID DON'T http://mparent-2.blogspot.com/2007/04/rove-kept-deleting-emails-after.html How an ex-Mossad chief, a German uberspy, and a gaggle of top-dollar GOP lobbyists helped Kurdistan snag 15 tons of $100 bills http://mparent-2.blogspot.com/2007/04/how-ex-mossad-chief-german-uberspy-and.html White House Email and Espionage http://mparent-2.blogspot.com/2007/04/white-house-email-and-espionage.html ISRAEL ATTEMPTS TO SILENCE HIZBOLLAH MEN THAT CAPTURED ISRAELI SOLDIERS INSIDE LEBANON http://mparent.blogspot.com/2007/04/israel-attempts-to-silence-hizbollah.html Stop melding anti-Zionism and anti-semitism http://www.wakeupfromyourslumber.com/node/1205 VIDEO- Israeli Army demolishes Palestinian homes in South Hebron http://mparent.blogspot.com/2007/04/video-israeli-army-demolishes.html Report: 68 women gave birth on checkpoints, 33 infants and 4 women died http://mparent.blogspot.com/2007/04/report-68-women-gave-birth-on.html Medical experiments on Palestinians in Israeli prisons up 15% http://www.wakeupfromyourslumber.com/node/1197 N.J.

[cia-drugs] Bored Meth Users Committing Identity Theft, Sex Offenses
Bored Meth Users Committing Identity Theft, Sex Offenses ~~ Top law enforcement officials say an influx of Mexican methamphetamine is overshadowing recent success in curtailing homegrown meth labs and is fueling a crime wave caused by addicts who can stay awake for days, the Washington Post reports. At a conference yesterday, attorneys general from eight states met to share strategies for combating methamphetamine use and trafficking. It is probably the ugliest drug that has come down the pike in 40 years, said Virginia Attorney General Robert McDonnell, who hosted the conference. It is highly addictive. It is poor man's crack. McDonnell estimates 80 to 90 percent of meth found in Virginia now comes from Mexico. The drug labs that once dotted rural Virginia are now largely gone. Crime associated with Mexican meth appears to be worsening, officials said. Because the drug can keep users up for extended periods of time, law enforcemers say some get bored and start committing computer crimes such as identity theft. The drug is also being linked to a surge in sex offenses. Unlike the crack epidemic in the 1980s, which was largely confined to cities, meth users spans all geographic, cultural and economic backgrounds. A 2004 study estimated that 12 million Americans admitted to using the drug.

[cia-drugs] Don't like ID cards? Hand over your passport

Cameron to swop ID cards for guards http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=441329in_page_id=1770ito=newsnow James Hall, the official in charge of the supposedly-voluntary scheme, said the Government would allow people to opt out - but in return they must forgo the ability to have a travel document. With one in every eight people saying they will refuse to sign-up, up to five million adults could effectively be refused permission to leave the country. Campaigners reacted to Mr Hall's remarks with fury, saying they were yet more evidence of the lurch towards Big Brother Britain. Phil Booth, of the NO2ID group, said: The idea that ID cards scheme is voluntary, and people can opt-out, is a joke. There are all sorts of reasons why people need to travel, not just for holidays. There is work, visiting relatives. What are these people supposed to do? It stretches the definition of voluntary beyond breaking point. They will go to any length to get personal information for this huge database. Who knows what will happen to it then? Mr Hall, chief executive of the Identity and Passport Service, delivered his warning during a Downing Street webchat. One concerned member of the public, Andrew Michael Edwards, asked what would happen to people who refuse to join the £5.4 billion scheme. Mr Hall replied: There is no need to register and have fingerprints taken - but you will forgo the ability to have a passport. Officials later explained the meaning of his remark. The first ID cards will be issued in 2009, to anybody who applies for a passport. People will be required to give fingerprints, biometric details such as a facial scan and a wealth of personal details - including second homes, driving licence and insurance numbers. All will be stored on a giant ID cards Register, which can be accessed by accredited Whitehall departments, banks and businesses. While The ID Cards Bill was going through Parliament, peers agreed an opt out with Ministers for people who needed a passport, but did not want to participate in the ID cards scheme. It was the only way the Lords would accept the legislation, amid howls of concern that it represents yet another move towards a surveillance society. But, as Mr Hall's comments this week make clear, the opt-out only applies to being physically issued with a card. In order to get a passport, people will still have to hand over all their personal details for storage on the ID cards Register - where they will be treated in the same was as those who agreed to sign-up. They simply avoid getting the card - even though they will have to pay the full combined price of £93 for an ID card and passport. It means that, despite the Government repeatedly insisting the scheme is voluntary, the only way to avoid signing-up is to never obtain or renew a passport. Therefore, anybody who objects to ID cards on principle and wants to keep their personal details private must remain in the UK for the rest of their lives. Critics said it was clear ID cards were being made compulsory by stealth. Some 6.6million people apply for travel documents each year. Mr Booth said legal challenges were inevitable, as restricting the right of free movement is a grave breach of human rights law. A YouGov survey, published three months ago, found 12 per cent of Britons would refuse to take part in the scheme, even if it meant paying a fine or serving a prison sentence. Mr Booth predicted many of this group would be prepared to bring test cases to challenge the Government's position in court. Liberal Democrat home affairs spokesman Nick Clegg said: This comment confirms long standing suspicions that the government's claim that the ID database will be voluntary is simply not true. The voluntary claim is serving as a fig leaf for a universal compulsory system. Once again the government's ID card plans are being pursued behind the backs of the British people. Labour has become increasingly obsessed with the introduction of ID cards, claiming they will help to beat fraud and illegal immigration. But both the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats have fiercely opposed the scheme, amid concerns costs could spiral out of control. Academics have predicted
[cia-drugs] The Implications of a Russia-led Gas Cartel
- Original Message - From: PINR Dispatch To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, April 12, 2007 9:45 PM Subject: [PINR] 13 April 2007: Economic Brief: The Implications of a Russia-led Gas Cartel ___ Power and Interest News Report (PINR) http://www.pinr.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] +1 (312) 242-1874 -- 13 April 2007 In light of today's developments in Baghdad, PINR recommends the following analysis: Intelligence Brief: The Implications of Strategic Withdrawal from Iraq http://www.pinr.com/report.php?ac=view_reportreport_id=629 -- Economic Brief: The Implications of a Russia-led Gas Cartel Drafted By: http://www.pinr.com Russia, Iran, Qatar, Venezuela, and other members of the Gas Exporting Countries Forum (G.E.C.F.) met in Doha on April 9 amidst Western fears that Moscow may encourage the birth of a gas O.P.E.C. Western decision-makers fear that such a new organization could give producers of natural gas an advantage over consumers. Russia (the world's leading producer and exporter of natural gas) as well as Iran and Qatar (the two Middle Eastern powers with the largest gas reserves) have repeatedly denied that a gas cartel is under construction. Moreover, energy analysts agree that the natural gas market is still very different from that of oil, and that a gas O.P.E.C. would not be easy to establish. According to the argument, natural gas does not have a global market like oil. For the most part, gas is not traded on the open market (unlike oil), and the majority of contracts between producers and buyers are long-term deals. Hence, gas pricing functions differently than oil pricing. In addition, natural gas transportation is more dependent on pipelines than is oil, since the former needs to be liquefied (and subsequently re-gasified) if transported by ship. Consequently, the regional geography that links producers-exporters and buyers still prevails over a more global network of transport routes. For instance, Russia (the exporter) and the European Union (the importer) are tightly linked by the fact that an extended network of gas pipelines exist between the Russian Federation and Eastern, Central and Western Europe. Nevertheless, the idea of a gas cartel resembling O.P.E.C. cannot be dismissed. Russian, Iranian, and Qatari denials of such plans can be interpreted as a series of declarations aimed at easing U.S. and European concerns over the eventual creation of a gas O.P.E.C. As usual in political and strategic issues, actions are far more important than words. In spite of such denials, Russia, Iran, Qatar, Venezuela and the other G.E.C.F. members are evaluating the pros and cons of setting up the gas cartel. Not all powers that host huge quantities of natural gas are major gas exporters. Iran and Venezuela, for instance, lack the investment and technology to exploit their natural gas resources fully. Russia is by far the world giant in natural gas production and exports, as it holds 47.8 billion cubic meters of gas reserves (the largest amount globally) and controls 21.6 percent of the world's natural gas exports. On the contrary, Iran, despite its 26.7 billion cubic meters of gas reserves, only counts for 3.1 percent of world exports. Since Russia's energy giant Gazprom is rapidly becoming Europe's dominant natural gas operator, Moscow is interested in augmenting its political and economic influence on those countries that may provide Europe with an alternative. As such, Gazprom quickly moved to secure alliances with Algeria's national champion Sonatrach (in 2006) and with Turkmenistan's national energy sector (in 2006, before President Saparmurat Niyazov's death), and Moscow is now eying Qatar, Iran, and Venezuela as potential partners for a newly structured gas suppliers organization. The events of the last few years, which saw Russia consolidating and securing control over its huge gas reserves before moving aggressively toward market domination in Europe and parts of Asia, suggest that Moscow is willing to co-opt its main Eurasian competitors in a sort of soft monopoly. Algeria's energy minister, Chakib Khelil, said after the Doha meeting that in the long term, we are moving toward a gas O.P.E.C., while the U.A.E.'s energy minister, Mohamed Bin Dhaen al-Hamli, declared that the time of cheap gas is a matter of the past. Moscow still denies that it wants to build a gas cartel resembling O.P.E.C. It is far from clear, also, if Qatar and the U.A.E. would join an organization that would be strongly opposed by the United States and its allies, at a time when instability in the Middle East makes Washington a needed security supplier for the small energy-rich Gulf monarchies. As a consequence, the

[cia-drugs] Re: Fwd: [ctrl] Walkin' Around Money
When you see a sensational event in the realm of personalities, like this thing with Imus, ask what else happened that day. You could also ask what else happened at Rutgers, and score a hit on Soaries there. The day Imus was fired, two Washington Post reporters were suicide bombed. Normally if a suicide bomber sat down next to two people and set off his bomb, they would both be dead. Not this time. John McCain was brain-washed by South Vietnam. He came out like a manchurian candidate, saying that losing in Iraq is not an option. The Army extended tour length to fifteen months. Marines go six on six off, by comparison. In Vietnam conscripts could get out of the Army after eighteen months. Fifteen months is the longest tour since WW2 for the duration. But the Imus story neuro-linguistically and quantitatively(by story and word count) blows away the fifteen months and McCain brain-washed Manchurian Candidate. The Imus story also unfolds day by day, while McCain's brain-washing and the Army's fifteen months were brought out according to tell the truth once, only once, either at 4:00am Sunday morning or behind a sensational story like the Imus Springer circus. -Bob --- In [EMAIL PROTECTED], RoadsEnd [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Begin forwarded message: From: Alamaine, IVe [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: April 13, 2007 10:08:09 AM PDT To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ctrl] Walkin' Around Money Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.waynemadsenreport.com/ April 13-15, 2007 -- Neo-con alert. DeForest (Buster) Soaries, the Somerset, NJ preacher of First Baptist Church of Lincoln Gardens, who, as former New Jersey Republican Secretary of State was the Garden State's version of Ohio Secretary of State Kenneth Blackwell in promoting GOP voter fraud by suppressing the African American vote (Soaries was one of the recipients of Ed Rollins' walkin' around money in the 1993 New Jersey gubernatorial race to keep parishioners home on Election Day rather than vote for Democratic Governor Jim Florio), was the intermediary chosen by Rutgers University to host a New Jersey Governors' Mansion meeting between fired radio host Don Imus and the Rutgers Women's Basketball team. Soaries' church is attended by Rutgers Women's Basketball team coach Vivian Stringer. In 2002, Soaries challenged Democratic Representative Rush Holt for his 12th District congressional seat. Holt has long been a proponent of vote reform while Soaries champions the status quo of voter fraud to the detriment of his own race. Soaries is also a strong promoter of Bush's faith-based initiatives. Imus Buster -- More neocon shenanigans? Looks that way. Soaries was the person named by George W. Bush to enforce the Help Americans Vote Act (HAVA) as chairman of the US Election Assistance Commission. HAVA was enacted after the debacle of the 2000 election to prevent vote fraud. Instead, under Soaries, HAVA was used to perpetuate voter fraud into the 2004 election. Soaries misused his position to line the pockets of Blackwell with federal money never spent to help Ohioans, particularly African Americans, vote in 2004 and it was Soaries who put pressure on California's Democratic Secretary of State Kevin Shelley, which ultimately resulted in Shelley's resignation and replacement by a Republican appointed by Arnold Schwarzenegger. Soaries never interfered when Blackwell moved Ohio's 2004 streaming election results web site from control of the Secretary of State of Ohio to Smartechcorp of Chattanooga, Tennessee, the same service provider that handles web site services for the Republican National Committee and Georgewbush.com, the president's campaign web site. Smartechcorp is now at the center of the controversy about White House and Justice Department use of parallel and illegal e- mail accounts used for political chicanery, including the firing of US Attorneys. (see below article). A loyal Bushie, Soaries was also named by George W. Bush as public director of the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York. The interesting part of Soaries background is that he was a national coordinator for Operation PUSH, the organization founded by Jesse Jackson. Jackson was at the forefront in demanding MS-NBC and CBS fire Imus. Jackson is a divisive figure among a number of African Americans, particularly the Martin Luther King family, many of whom believe Jackson unduly profited from his relationship with the slain civil rights icon. The relationship of Soaries and Stringer in the demise of Imus point to yet another possible dirty trick by the GOP. Imus, like Howard Stern, is off the public airwaves, maybe permanently, while Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Michael (Weiner) Savage, and other right-wing shills continue to use the public airwaves to spout neo-con imbued hate talk -- material that makes Imus' insensitive comedy bits appear lame in comparison. The neocons are already demanding that Rosie O'Donnell follow Imus and Stern off the
