[cia-drugs] Airing Gonzales' Dirty Laundry
Airing Gonzales' Dirty Laundry By Bill Boyarsky, Truthdig. Posted May 2, 2007. A look at one of the real reasons eight U.S. attorneys were fired -- the Republican effort to stop voter registration campaigns in poor neighborhoods. http://www.alternet.org/rights/51317/ Since Attorney General Alberto Gonzales' inept stonewalling before the Senate Judiciary Committee shed no light on the firing of eight U.S. attorneys, let's dig into one of the real reasons -- the Republican effort to stop voter registration campaigns in poor neighborhoods. The assault is an early battle of the 2008 presidential campaign. Republicans are trying to limit registration of African-Americans and Latinos in a number of states that Democrats have a chance of carrying. It's not the only reason that attorneys were fired, but it is the most reprehensible. U.S. attorneys are political appointees. When a new president and his party take power, the old are swept out for the new. But once in office, the attorneys usually work with local law enforcement and lawyers and are not often micro-managed from Washington. There have been exceptions to this. The power of local segregationists sent Kennedy administration lawyers into action to take over some law enforcement in the South during the civil rights movement. This operation is different. The Kennedys wanted to give African-Americans rights guaranteed by the Constitution. The Bush crowd is trying to exclude African-Americans and Latinos. One of the fired attorneys is David Iglesias of New Mexico, who was dismissed after state Republican officials complained that he wouldn't prosecute registration fraud allegations. (The state produced another, unrelated, example of Republicans using the Justice Department to win elections. Republican Sen. Peter Domenici complained that Iglesias was too slow in prosecuting a political corruption case that would have helped the campaign of Rep. Heather Wilson, a Republican who eventually won a tight race.) In 2004, President Bush beat Sen. John Kerry in New Mexico by just a single percentage point, 50 percent to 49 percent. In 2008, the state's five electoral votes are within Democratic grasp. Although that's not a lot of votes, the Democrats' near success in 2004 reflects the party's hopes of big gains throughout the Southwest and Rockies next year. Another U.S. attorney firing was linked to efforts to stop a Democratic registration drive in Washington state. Kerry carried it in 2004, but a Republican came within 129 votes of the Democratic winner in last year's election for governor. U.S. Attorney John McKay, who was appointed by Bush, was dumped by Gonzales after Republican officials complained he would not investigate supposed registration fraud. The Republicans' main target in New Mexico, Washington and other states is a progressive grass-roots group, the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, ACORN. It has chapters in more than 100 cities engaged in organizing the poor for a living wage, improved housing, jobs, healthcare, better schools and child care. What angers the Republicans are ACORN's voter registration efforts, mostly in poor African-American and Latino neighborhoods. In the last few years, it has registered about 500,000 voters in poor communities. ACORN members tend to be tough and focused. They organize poor families ignored by the politicians, the big contributors and the reporters and pundits who dominate today's political dialogue. While political writers report on the so-called money primary -- the contribution competition among the top contenders -- ACORN is signing up voters in neighborhoods where the major candidates and journalists seldom venture. It's the hardest kind of political organizing. The organizers -- invariably low paid -- must convince the overworked and poor to give up a portion of their limited time to activities such as staging marches, visiting city halls and state capitols and organizing registration drives. Professor Peter Dreier, director of the Urban and Environmental Policy Program at Occidental College in Los Angeles, told me that of all the organizations in the country that represent the poor, except for the labor unions, ACORN is the most effective. With a good political research operation and a grasp of local, state and national politics, ACORN targets its work in swing districts, registering voters who are likely to be Democrats, Dreier said. ACORN's success woke up New Mexico State Republican Chairman Allen Weh and other state party officials. They accused ACORN of fraud in the 2004 drive that registered 35,000 potential voters, according to The Albuquerque Tribune. U.S. Attorney Iglesias investigated the complaints. He formed a task force that took a close look at more than 300 of them. In fact, some ACORN workers, who were paid for each person they registered, weren't too fussy about whom they signed up. ACORN fired a
[cia-drugs] Cryptome.org, repository of sensitive docs, gets shutdown notice
Tuesday, May 01, 2007 Who Killed Cryptome.org? It's the one secret radical open information activist John Young can't crack: what drove his ISP, Verio/NTT, to finally pull the plug on his website, Cryptome.org, where for years he's posted every sensitive document, photo or map he could get his hands on. Young -- a 72-year-old architect in New York -- has hosted countless government documents with the For Official Use Only markings intact; exposed the names of long-ago CIA collaborators; the alleged identities of current British intelligence agents; compiled a travelogue-style guide to the Pennsylvania mountain believed to be the vice president's undisclosed location; and even put up a map showing where major Manhattan gas pipelines are buried, which he posted ahead of the Republican National Convention in New York. So what happened, after all that, to make Verio decide to stop hosting him now? Verio isn't saying. Spokeswoman Marla Kramer sent THREAT LEVEL this statement: Verio customer information is confidential. As a matter of policy, Verio will not discuss the specific details of any customer. Verio consistently investigates and works with its customers to resolve issues. Recent events, however, related to Cryptome presented a different situation that Verio was unable to reconcile with its AUP. Based on these events, Verio made the decision that it could no longer support Cryptome as a customer. On April 20, 2007, Verio provided Cryptome with notification of the termination via both email and certified mail. Verio provided Cryptome with two week's notice to allow the organization to obtain another service provider. Verio respects both the rights of its customers and those of third parties. Verio is confident that it has been fair and consistent in its approach to these matters, and stands by its decision in this instance. It's admirable that Verio won't discuss confidential customer information with a reporter, but somewhat baffling that it's stonewalling Young on the same question, referring him to its AUP. Maybe he violated the clause prohibiting subscribers from engaging in activities, whether lawful or unlawful, that Verio determines to be harmful to its subscribers, operations, reputation, goodwill, or customer relations. Or maybe he didn't violate any clause, and that's why they can't say. Maybe the wrong person at Verio finally read Young's site. Young goes overboard, but there's always been something comforting about Cryptome's existence. Remember, the New York Times sat on the NSA domestic surveillance story for a year, and the L.A. Times killed its story on ATT whistleblower Mark Klein after talking to the top U.S. intelligence official. If a CIA document ever leaked that revealed JFK was killed by space aliens, Cryptome was the one outlet that I was 100% sure could not be cowed into hiding the truth. Young has until Friday to find a new home. He vows to keep Cryptome online, in the US or elsewhere. Or if necessary, underground, or via means not easily shuttered, or by way of whatever is invented for opposing technologies of information control. Maybe Young will find his own undisclosed location. http://blog.wired.com/27bstroke6/2007/05/who_killed_cryp.html ~~~ Tuesday, May 1, 2007 Cryptome.org, repository of sensitive docs, gets shutdown notice Cryptome.org, an online document repository maintained for years by open information advocate John Young, has received a notice from host Verio/NTT that the ISP will no longer host the controversial site after Friday. More about this around the web: Wired News, Slashdot, Computerworld/IDG, Wikipedia entry. http://www.boingboing.net/2007/05/01/cryptomeorg_reposito.html ~~~ 1 May 2007.

Section: Daily Dispatches Some of Best Bets Added Monday, Before News of Bid By Mohammed Hadi The Wall Street Journal Tuesday, May 2, 2007 Some option traders found themselves sitting on massive profits in positions on Dow Jones Co. after word that News Corp. has offered to buy the company. But the fact that some of the most profitable positions were added as recently as Monday, before news of the $60-a-share offer for Dow Jones broke, had some in the options market crying foul. News Corp.'s offer was made in a letter sent before the Dow Jones annual shareholder meeting April 18. A spokeswoman for Dow Jones declined to comment. Option traders have been positioning for a big gain in Dow Jones shares throughout April. During the month, more than 10,000 call options on the stock changed hands, compared with about 7,000 during the entire first quarter. The gains they were hoping for came yesterday as shares of Dow Jones rose $19.87 to $56.20 in 4 p.m. composite trading on the New York Stock Exchange. The move left some option traders with enormous profits. For example, on Monday with Dow Jones shares trading around $36, traders snapped up call options that give them the right to pay $45 for the stock in the coming months. More than 3,400 of the September 45 calls changed hands during the session, which was the first time these traded at all in almost three months, according to Track Data. Yesterday, as the stock surged, these positions rose to $12 from 35 cents -- a more than 33-fold return. Several large private-equity deals in the last year were preceded by heavy trading in call options. Still, the fact that traders targeted call options that don't expire for several months, which are more expensive than those that expire in a few weeks, is a clue that they might not have known when the stock move would occur, said Michael Schwartz, chief options strategist at Oppenheimer Co. Traders yesterday were busy positioning themselves in shares of Dow Jones and other newspaper companies such as New York Times Co. and Gannett Co. -- stocks that also rose. Some turned to put options that will profit if these stocks fall back, while others took the opportunity to speculate on more gains to come -- ostensibly anticipating a higher bid in the case of Dow Jones, said Paul Foster who tracks options trading for theflyonthewall.com. * * * Join GATA at the World Gold, PGM, and Diamond Investment Conference in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada Sunday and Monday, June 17 and 18, 2007 http://www.cambridgeconferences.com/ch_june2007.html * * * Help Keep GATA Going GATA is a civil rights and educational organization based in the United States and tax-exempt under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code.

[cia-drugs] Chavez pulls out of IMF, World Bank
http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,20867,21658247-2703,00.html Chavez pulls out of IMF, World Bank VENEZUELAN President Hugo Chavez has announced Venezuela will quit the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. The practical impact of the move is unclear. But withdrawing from the world's two premier financial institutions, which have been associated since World War II with US economic policies, would send a powerful political statement. It also might embolden activists throughout the world who are opposed to privatisation and fiscal austerity, two courses that the institutions often require of economically troubled nations. It was unclear how much money the World Bank and the IMF would have to hand over to Caracas. Venezuela's share of the IMF is worth $US3.9 billion, though it wasn't known whether the IMF would be expected to pay Venezuela that much when its membership is terminated. In a defiant speech yesterday, Mr Chavez demanded that the World Bank pay oil-rich Venezuela its contributions. Now it is they that owe us, he said. There was no reaction from either organisation today, but the US State Department said Mr Chavez was only digging a deeper hole for his people. Look, you can't take the shovel out of the man's hand, said spokesman Sean McCormack. He just keeps on digging. So, and sadly, it's the Venezuelan people who are victimized by this. The World Bank and the IMF were established near the end of World War II to help rebuild war damage. The World Bank helps countries finance development projects, while the IMF tries to ensure orderly world trade by regulating exchange rates and providing assistance to countries unable to pay their debts. Traditionally, the World Bank is led by an American, and the IMF head is a European. In recent years, both organisations have refrained from criticising Mr Chavez's economic policies, including re-nationalisations of the oil and telecommunications industry, in hopes of quietly persuading his government to stick with more market-friendly policies. The latest World Economic Outlook, the IMF's assessment of the world economy, barely mentioned Venezuela when it was issued a month ago. No IMF mission has visited Venezuela since 2004, though Anoop Singh, the IMF's top Latin American official, told reporters last month that the IMF hoped to send a mission to Caracas to discuss inflation control later this year. Nations rarely walk away from the IMF or the World Bank. One of the last to do so was Cuba, in 1964. Liliana Rojas-Suarez, a former IMF official now with the Washington-based Center for Global Development think tank, said Chavez's move is consistent with his vision of creating a system independent of US influence. This is definitely political and consistent with Chavez's strategy, she said, pointing out that Mr Chavez is founding a new Bank for the South, which would play a role similar to the World Bank but under Latin American control. Venezuela has bought more than $US3 billion in Argentine bonds, allowing Argentina to pay off the IMF. Mr Chavez also has pledged money to Ecuador so that the Andean nation can reduce its debt to both institutions. Last month, Venezuela finished paying off its debts, and the IMF closed its office in Caracas last year.
[cia-drugs] Are these suicide guys on drugs or something?
http://www.waynemadsenreport.com/ May 2, 2007 -- Cheney the brains behind the boy king? Not quite. There is something that George Tenet forgot to put in his book. During one CIA briefing for Vice President Dick Cheney on suicide bombings in Iraq just after the U.S. occupation, Cheney was confused as to the reason why people would blow themselves up with bombs. According to our Langley sources, the CIA briefer went into an explanation of Islamic extremists who believe that martyrdom in a Jihad instantly puts them into an exalted status in an after-life paradise. Cheney, however, was having nothing of it. He repeatedly insisted that the suicide bombers in Iraq must be on drugs or hypnotized. The CIA briefer got the impression that Cheney did not believe there was any significant religious angle to the violence in Iraq. Are these suicide guys on drugs or something? cheneysnarl.jpg

Section: Daily Dispatches By Pedro Nicolaci da Costa Reuters Wednesday, May 2, 2007 http://today.reuters.com/news/articleinvesting.aspx?type=fundsFundsNews;... NEW YORK -- Hedge funds may now pose the biggest risk of a crisis since 1998, when the implosion of Long-Term Capital Management threatened the global financial system, the New York Federal Reserve said on Wednesday. The statement represented the bank's sternest warning to date over the possible fate of the $1.4 trillion industry. Recent high correlations among hedge fund returns could suggest concentrations of risk comparable to those preceding the hedge fund crisis of 1998, according to a paper written by Tobias Adrian, capital markets economist at the central bank. Back in 1998, the New York Fed helped bring together Wall Street tycoons who eventually cobbled together enough funds for an unprecedented $3.6 billion bailout. The LTCM crisis was all the more shocking to investors because of the individuals involved, regarded highly for their market savvy and mathematical prowess. But with the crisis averted, the hedge fund industry bounced back with a vengeance, increasingly rapidly over the last decade in both size and scope to an estimated $1.4 trillion. Hedge funds, investment pools that are aimed primarily at wealthy investors and institutions, have been very lightly regulated, facing only vague registration requirements. Their sheer immensity has raised some red flags from policy-makers, with New York Fed President Timothy Geithner among those sounding repeated warnings about the need for cautious lending. The Fed's latest worry arose from what it described as a rising correlation between the actual returns of hedge funds, which could point to similar trading strategies that excessively concentrate risk on too few market positions. Similar trading strategies can heighten risk when funds have to close out comparable positions in response to a common shock, the economist Adrian wrote. Still, many officials, including Geithner, have shied away from calling for explicit regulation, arguing instead that the large banks who lend to hedge funds should police themselves to make sure no one lender gets in too deep. Hedge funds borrow large sums of money in order to take aggressive bets on financial markets. Many operate heavily in the derivatives market, estimated at around $17 trillion, raising fears about possible future shocks. * * * Join GATA at the World Gold, PGM, and Diamond Investment Conference in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada Sunday and Monday, June 17 and 18, 2007 http://www.cambridgeconferences.com/ch_june2007.html * * * Help Keep GATA Going GATA is a civil rights and educational organization based in the United States and tax-exempt under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code.
