[cia-drugs] Bush Administration Ordered To Immediately Stop Controversial Surveillance Program
http://www.masnet.org/news.asp?id=3653 Bush Administration Ordered To Immediately Stop Controversial Surveillance Program Date Posted: Friday, August 18, 2006 WASHINGTON, DC - Aug. 8, 2006 (MASNET and NEWS SOURCES) Early Thursday, a U.S. District Court Judge for the Eastern District of Michigan delivered a second major set-back for the Bush Administration in its strategy for the "war against terror", ruling that its controversial eavesdropping program is unconstitutional. Judge Anna Diggs Taylor ordered that the so-called "Terrorist Surveillance Program" be halted immediately citing that it is in violation of Americans rights to free speech and privacy. In her ruling Judge Taylor added that the program is also in violation of the 1978 Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, which requires the government to obtain a warrant from a special intelligence court before it can intercept the communications of Americans. The Muslim American Society's Freedom Foundation (MAS Freedom), through Executive Director, Mahdi Bray, noted, "This is a good day for the rule of law and the constitution. The Bush administration, under the guise of waging its war against terrorism, has really waged a war against the civil rights and civil liberties of the American people; particularly the American Muslim community." Bray added, "Judge Taylor's ruling should send a strong signal to the American Muslim community of the importance of investigating and pursuing constitutional litigation against the many civil rights and civil liberties abuses that the Bush administration has engaged in." ACLU Executive Director, Anthony Romero, stated, "Government spying on innocent Americans without any kind of warrant and without Congressional approval runs counter to the very foundations of our democracy. This is a landmark victory against the abuse of power that has become the hallmark of the Bush administration." "The prohibition against government eavesdropping on American citizens is well-established and crystal clear," said ACLU Associate Legal Director Ann Beeson, who is lead counsel in the ACLU v. NSA lawsuit filed in January, 2006. "President Bush's claim that he is not bound by the law is simply astounding. Our democratic system depends on the rule of law, and not even the president can issue illegal orders that violate Constitutional principles." Judge Taylor also rebuked Mr. Bush in her ruling, writing: "It was never the intent of the Framers [of the Constitution] to give the President such unfettered control, particularly where his actions blatantly disregarded the parameters clearly enumerated in the Bill of Rights. "There are no hereditary Kings in America and no powers not created by the Constitution." The Justice Department has appealed the judges order. In October 2005 MAS Freedom Foundation launched the BFAIR (Better Fair American Immigration Rules) initiative. The BFAIR project has been developed to help eliminating airport profiling, lengthy delays for approval of citizenship and green card applications, and the assault on Muslim charities, and has been endorsed by the Center for Constitutional Rightsand the National Lawyers Guild.

[cia-drugs] LaRouche Warnings on Danger of Wider Mideast War Featured on Leading Russian TV Channel
http://www.larouchepub.com/pr/2006/060817eir_lar_vremya.html LaRouche Warnings on Danger of Wider Mideast War Featured on Leading Russian TV Channel August 17 (EIRNS)On the evening of August 16, Russia's biggest prime-time TV news show featured warnings from Lyndon LaRouche, and his magazine, Executive Intelligence Review, in its 9 PM nightly broadcast. LaRouche, who had been interviewed that morning by Russia's First Channel (1TV), was shown, and quoted, along with other experts, including former Russian Prime Minister Yevgeni Primakov. Three minutes into the prime-time broadcast, correspondent Grigori Yemelyanov presented a segment titled "Experts comment on the outcome of the war in Lebanon." The segment emphasized that the truce was fragile. After quotations on how Israel failed in its objective to wipe out Hezbollah from Primakov, Knesset member Roman Bronfman, and Lebanon's Minister of Energy Muhammed Fneish, the broadcast shifted to the evaluation of EIR. The clip began with displaying the headline of an article in the Aug. 11 EIR on the danger of an "October Surprise," and then cut to footage from the interview with LaRouche. As LaRouche, identified as editor-in-chief of EIR, was shown speaking to First Channel's correspondent, the Russian voiceover continued to excerpt from Steinberg's article: "If events develop according to that scenario, Iran would be unlikely to stay out of the conflict. And then it would already be impossible to stop a big war in the Middle East. Instead of seeking a compromise at the negotiating table, the American administration is doing everything it can to provoke a full-scale war." The fact that 1TV is largely owned by the Russian government, clearly indicates that the Russian state itself considers LaRouche's warnings to be of crucial importance in the current strategic situation. The news broadcast, in Russian, can be viewed on www.1tv.ru. For more information on LaRouche's evaluation of the danger of World War III arising from the Mideast crisis, and for his solution, please contact EIR at www.larouchepub.com. __._,_.___ Complete archives at http://www.sitbot.net/ Please let us stay on topic and be civil.

[cia-drugs] Who'd You Rather Read, Gary Webb or Judy Miller?
http://www.motherjones.com/mojoblog/archives/2006/08/whod_you_rather.html Who'd You Rather Read, Gary Webb or Judy Miller? On occasion of the tenth anniversary of "Dark Alliance," the San Jose Mercury News series on CIA-contra-crack connections that set off more major-newspaper handwringing than perhaps anything this side of the Bush-Iraq-WMD fiasco, Nick Schou of the alternative OC Weekly has an op-ed in the LA Times that's worth reading. Doesn't matter whether you're still puzzling over why exactly every major paper in the country saw fit to "debunk" claims Webb had not actually made, or whether you've never heard of the guy; the point is that Webb (whose reporting, as Eric Umansky noted in this space, was in significant regards confirmed by the government itself) was guilty of hyperbole, but not of credulity or subservience. He had the facts, and he made more of them than he should have. But as Schou points out: Contrary to the wholly discredited reporting on Iraq's nonexistent weapons of mass destruction by New York Times reporter Judith Miller, Webb was the only victim of his mistakes. Nobody else died because of his work, and no one, either at the CIA or the Mercury News, is known to have lost so much as a paycheck. Webb shot himself in late 2004, his career and personal life having come unraveled in the wake of "Dark Alliance." We could use the likes of him right now. __._,_.___ Complete archives at http://www.sitbot.net/ Please let us stay on topic and be civil.

[cia-drugs] Fwd: [ctrl] Truth about ecstacy's unlikely trip
Begin forwarded message:From: "Alamaine, IVe" [EMAIL PROTECTED]Date: August 18, 2006 4:40:58 AM PDTTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]Subject: [ctrl] Truth about ecstacy's unlikely tripReply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.guardian.co.uk/drugs/Story/0,,1852855,00.htmlTruth about ecstacy's unlikely trip from lab to dance floorPharmaceutical company unravels drug's chequered pastDavid AdamFriday August 18, 2006GuardianSorted. More than two decades after the dance drug ecstasy burst on to the scene, chemists have finally pieced together the true story of the origins of one the most influential and controversial substances ever to come from a test tube.According to popular history the drug, first discovered in 1912, was developed by the German pharmaceutical giant Merck as a lucrative way to suppress the appetites of soldiers in the German army - a plot foiled by reports of bizarre side effects among the first human guinea pigs. Merck, the story goes, was forced to withdraw the compound and consigned it to the pharmaceutical scrap heap, where it lay until resurrected by 1970s drug guru Alexander Shulgin.This version of events appears regularly in medical reports, newspaper articles, textbooks and even on the official website of the US drug enforcement administration. But Merck has decided to set the record straight.In an unusual step, the company got experts from its corporate history department and a local doctor to trawl through thousands of original documents in its archive at its headquarters in Darmstad.For more than a year, they searched for references to ecstasy in laboratory journals, annual reports, patents, letters, interview records, memoirs and the other historical detritus thrown up by six decades of scientific research from 1900 to 1960.Their verdict? The company did develop the drug in 1912, but the appetite suppressant story is an urban myth, passed on from source to source through "uncritical copy-paste procedures". Instead, documents from the time show that ecstasy emerged during the company's efforts to develop a potentially life-saving medicine that would help blood to clot.The best available blood clot medicine at the time, hydrastinin, was patented by Merck's local rival Bayer. Merck chemists believed that a similar compound called methylhydrastinin would be equally effective and set about trying to make it from scratch in a way not covered by the Bayer patent. Ecstasy, also known as MDMA, was first produced during these experiments, but attracted little attention. Merck's recent search found just a passing reference to the drug: in a patent the company filed in 1912 to protect its new blood clot agent, which had been tested on patients in a Berlin hospital. Patent 274350 did not refer to MDMA by name, but described its properties among a list of other new intermediates: "colourless oil, boiling point 155C at 20mm pressure, its salt forms white crystals".Tellingly, there were no references to any experiments to test the biological effects of ecstasy, then known as methylsafrylamin. As the official report of Merck's historical detectives puts it: "In clear contrast to what is usually claimed by the 'ecstasy' literature, MDMA was neither studied in animals nor humans at Merck around 1912."This is not the first time that the appetite suppressant pill story has been exposed as false - Dr Shulgin and others have published more accurate accounts - but Merck hopes its rewriting of history will put the myth to bed. The false story probably started, the company says, because a US laboratory studied a similar compound called MDA as a possible diet drug between 1949 and 1957.No one from Merck's corporate history department would comment, but a spokesman said the company had decided to act because it was regularly asked about its role in ecstasy's development. Its report appears this month in the journal Addiction.What happened next? The Merck archive reveals that the company revived its interest in ecstasy in 1927, when the first tests were carried out on animals. The details have been lost, but it seems that a chemist called Max Oberlin had stumbled on the original patent and thought MDMA might mimic adrenaline because it had a similar structure.Oberlin described the results of his tests as "partly remarkable" but the research was halted because of steep rises in the price of chemicals needed to make the drug. He recommended the company "keep an eye on this field". Further Merck tests in 1952 showed that the compound was toxic to flies. More controversial is the first testing on humans. The US air force is known to have carried out secret tests of MDMA and other drugs in the early 1950s. The experiments are often described as a search for a truth serum, but were carried out on animals, and it is more likely the military was searching for new chemical weapons.The Merck archive suggests one of its scientists may have administered the first human tests in 1959.

[cia-drugs] ruppert to leave the USA for good
Mike wrote a piece that is on the rense.com website about bidding farewell to america. funny but nowhere in the article does he mention that he is accused of sexually harrassing one of his female employees. Is there an extradition treaty with venezuela? By The Light Of A Burning Bridge - A Permanent Goodbye To the United States Michael C. Ruppert From The Wilderness Publications 8-17-6 Sometimes you get your best light from a burning bridge - Don Henley, My Thanksgiving CARACAS - It was about a week before I left the United States forever that I watched Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. tell Charlie Rose something all of us already know in our hearts. Today, he said, the United States is hated around the world far worse than it was at the height of the Vietnam War. I remember the Vietnam War. I will never forget it. I opposed that war, and I still remember riots on the UCLA campus in May,1970 when four students were shot dead by National Guard troops at Kent State University in Ohio. I was a college student then, and I was 2S-deferred for the draft. A year later I would be re-classified 1A as the nation shifted to a lottery system. At least someone in my country was willing to risk his life in the face of injustice. It gave me hope. That kind of risk-taking was commonplace then, from the civil rights movement to the anti-war movement, to the American Indian Movement. American blood was shed regularly on American soil to resist American tyranny; from Watts, to Detroit, to Selma, to San Francisco to Memphis to Wounded Knee. It fertilized our lives and souls as it touched the ground. The willingness to endure physical suffering, material sacrifice, and jail for the sake of justice was a singular mark of the American character that earned respect as it infected the world. What is the United States infecting the world with today? Now it seems the American people won't even risk their credit ratings, student loans, the next piece of ass, or a sideways glance from people who look at them like AIDS patients for daring to deviate from the corporate, media-instilled norm. We have come a long way backward. Rodney King's Can't we all just get along has become the modern day theme song for the surrender of America's character, and the L.A. Rebellion of 1992 was probably the last flame of will to fight injustice in American history. This new quiescence comes at a time when US crimes are far worse and more far-reaching than they were in 1970; certainly in the eyes of the world. In 2001 the US government both facilitated and executed the attacks of 9/11 against its own people, killing thousands of its citizens as an excuse to launch a neo-imperial conquest for energy. A few Americans held small rallies, organized some ineffective groups, bought a few hundred thousand books and DVDs, listened to a few radio programs and lectures, and then quietly lined up to have their bags, emails, credit histories, minds and bodies searched. Critical mass was never achieved as Executive Orders along with the Patriot and Homeland Security Acts shredded the 1st, 4th, 5th, 6th and 8th Amendments to our Bill of Rights. In my book Crossing the Rubicon I wrote that events that took place in the five years following those attacks would determine the course of human history for centuries to come. We now stand at the brink of that fateful anniversary. After the 9-11 attacks the US government lied to create a war for oil in Iraq telling us that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction, almost-ready atom bombs, poison gas and deadly germs. We were told that he helped execute the 9/11 attacks. It was all lies, and no one has held the US accountable for the hundreds of thousands of deaths (murders) in Iraq and Afghanistan since then. Few have tried to hold the government accountable for 2,500 Americans who have died needlessly, and those who have, have been remarkably ineffective. US presidential elections were stolen in 2000 and 2004 through rigged electronic voting software and intimidation. Not one drop of blood was spilled anywhere, even as the US Supreme Court rendered an illegal decision supporting the overthrow of the Constitution and trampling the rights of individual states. I never thought I would call the 60s and 70s the good old days. I would cry tears of joy today to see just one campus overrun by a modern equivalent of the Students for a Democratic Society. I would cheer to see a general strike paralyze a city. It would be living proof that American character had not been submerged, drugged, weakened, and rendered anemic beyond revival. My country is dead. Its people have surrendered to tyranny, and in so doing, they have become tyranny's primary support group; its base constituency; its chief defender. Every day they offer their endorsement of tyranny by banking in its banks and spending their borrowed money
[cia-drugs] Fwd: Heroic speech by soldier formally charged with contempt for Bush (first such charge since 1965)

Watada addresses national veterans convention By Dahr Jamail, truthout.org. August 14, 2006 http://thankyoult.live.radicaldesigns.org/content/view/172/On Saturday night, I was lucky enough to be at the Veterans for Peace National Convention. For that night, Lt. Ehren Watada was able to give the following speech, which I've just received permission to post here. The speech was met with a powerful, standing ovation from the vets who've been there.Lt. Ehren Watada, for those who don't already know, became the first commissioned officer to publicly refuse deployment to the unlawful war and occupation in Iraq. While doing this on June 22, 2006, Watada said, "As the order to take part in an illegal act is ultimately unlawful as well, I must refuse that order."Just as Watada took the stage and began to speak, over 50 members of Iraq Veterans Against the War filed in behind him. Watada, surprised by this and obviously taken aback by the symbolic act, turned back to the audience, took some deep breaths, then gave this speech: Thank you everyone. Thank you all for your tremendous support. How honored and delighted I am to be in the same room with you tonight. I am deeply humbled by being in the company of such wonderful speakers. You are all true American patriots. Although long since out of uniform, you continue to fight for the very same principles you once swore to uphold and defend. No one knows the devastation and suffering of war more than veterans - which is why we should always be the first to prevent it. I wasn't entirely sure what to say tonight. I thought as a leader in general I should speak to motivate. Now I know that this isn't the military and surely there are many out there who outranked me at one point or another - and yes, I'm just a Lieutenant. And yet, I feel as though we are all citizens of this great country and what I have to say is not a matter of authority - but from one citizen to another. We have all seen this war tear apart our country over the past three years. It seems as though nothing we've done, from vigils to protests to letters to Congress, have had any effect in persuading the powers that be. Tonight I will speak to you on my ideas for a change of strategy. I am here tonight because I took a leap of faith. My action is not the first and it certainly will not be the last. Yet, on behalf of those who follow, I require your help - your sacrifice - and that of countless other Americans. I may fail. We may fail. But nothing we have tried has worked so far. It is time for change and the change starts with all of us. I stand before you today, not as an expert - not as one who pretends to have all the answers. I am simply an American and a servant of the American people. My humble opinions today are just that. I realize that you may not agree with everything I have to say. However, I did not choose to be a leader for popularity. I did it to serve and make better the soldiers of this country. And I swore to carry out this charge honorably under the rule of law. Today, I speak with you about a radical idea. It is one born from the very concept of the American soldier (or service member). It became instrumental in ending the Vietnam War - but it has been long since forgotten. The idea is this: that to stop an illegal and unjust war, the soldiers can choose to stop fighting it. Now it is not an easy task for the soldier. For he or she must be aware that they are being used for ill-gain. They must hold themselves responsible for individual action. They must remember duty to the Constitution and the people supersedes the ideologies of their leadership. The soldier must be willing to face ostracism by their peers, worry over the survival of their families, and of course the loss of personal freedom. They must know that resisting an authoritarian government at home is equally important to fighting a foreign aggressor on the battlefield. Finally, those wearing the uniform must know beyond any shadow of a doubt that by refusing immoral and illegal orders they will be supported by the people not with mere words but by action. The American soldier must rise above the socialization that tells them authority should always be obeyed without question. Rank should be respected but never blindly followed. Awareness of the history of atrocities and destruction committed in the name of America - either through direct military intervention or by proxy war - is crucial. They must realize that this is a war not out of self-defense but by choice, for profit and imperialistic domination. WMD, ties to Al Qaeda, and ties to 9/11 never existed and never will. The soldier must know that our narrowly and

Is there an extradition treaty with venezuela? http://www.fromthewilderness.com/free/ww3/081606_burning_bridge.shtml The burglary followed on the heels of my humiliation of the perpetrator of a feeble and stupidly executed sexual blackmail plot that began when a newly-hired staff writer (with a clean record and a Master's degree in English) began a torrid (and not very discrete) sexual affair with my long-term IT manager. The IT manager was, at the time, involved in a committed relationship with a woman in Los Angeles. The same female employee also made simultaneous direct sexual advances to my Operations Manager who is married. These included her showing naked photographs of herself to both men in our offices, something which they kept from me until later. Eventually the sexual intrigue resulted in an altercation between the three which wound up on my doorstep late on a Sunday night in April. It seems no one involved in the altercation was capable of telling the whole truth. It was also clear that my IT manager - who was known for his appetites - had fallen hopelessly in the grasp of an attractive sexual smorgasbord that was fulfilling his every wish. This is what he said to people in phone conversations who later told me about them. He reportedly described her as a sexual demon. He lied to his girlfriend. He lied to me when he told me that he had ended the relationship. Then he lied to his friend, the Operations Manager, about it. I could no longer trust him, and this was of enormous concern to me. After all of the previous attempts to sink FTW over the years I was well-prepared when the same woman started making advances to me. How dumb did they think I was? I concealed a tape recorder in my office as she directed me, after regular office hours, to pornographic web sites and continually tried to tempt me with scanty outfits, G-strings and hints of sexual delights including descriptions of her private parts. She was doing all this at a time when she made 103 cell phone calls in one month to my IT Manager on a cell phone that FTW was paying for. I got the bills. Most of the calls were made during business hours. The second month's bill was just as bad when it arrived after she had been fired. My IT Manager had been my most trusted employee and a close friend. I may never be able to forgive his betrayal even if the Siren's song had overwhelmed him. In previous years FTW computers had been sabotaged, our web site had been hacked, and several attempts had been made to financially sabotage our operations. Being fully aware that he was likely revealing our most sensitive proprietary information, including account access codes, I had but two choices. I could fire the young woman. But if I did so she would be angry outside the company and still have the IT Manager as helpless as Ulysses' crew in her vindictive grasp. Or, I could keep her close, play along with her games, prepare myself against the blackmail I knew would come, and try to find out what kind of damage she was intent on doing and head it off. When she could not compromise me sexually, she turned the IT Manager against me, and he gave sudden notice. That was damaging enough. His last day of work was to be June 1st. I decided immediately that that would be her last day of work too, and so it was. As June 1 approached I baited her with actions I knew would force her to show her hand. She did on May 29th and that's when I let it be known how I had protected myself. She immediately went - no doubt with the guidance of our IT Manager - to a ridiculous pseudo-journalist who has been hounding FTW and other 9-11 activists for years. In a previous sabotage attempt in 2005 this same pseudo-journalist had been directly connected to the FBI by a tape recording. Her allegations of sexual harassment against me fell flat on their faces, and she was publicly humiliated. She had also been showing highly erratic emotional behavior consistent with drug use in her last two weeks of work. On the day she was terminated she and the IT manager frantically rushed to erase large quantities of data from her office computer. This was witnessed by the entire office staff. Fortunately for us, the erasures were only made with one-pass deletions, and most of what they were trying to hide remains recoverable. ... Also, about a week after the burglary, my Operations Manager, who we have since discovered was apparently in the process of destroying our paper financial records, disclosed that the fired female employee was a multi-year close friend of a convicted methamphetamine manufacturer and dealer who had served five years in prison. That was the last straw, and it

I decided immediately that that would be her last day of work too, and so it was. As June 1 approached I baited her with actions I knew would force her to show her hand. She did on May 29th and that's when I let it be known how I had protected myself. She immediately went - no doubt with the guidance of our IT Manager - to a ridiculous pseudo-journalist who has been hounding FTW and other 9-11 activists for years. In a previous sabotage attempt in 2005 this same pseudo-journalist had been directly connected to the FBI by a tape recording. Her allegations of sexual harassment against me fell flat on their faces, and she was publicly humiliated. She had also been showing highly erratic emotional behavior consistent with drug use in her last two weeks of work. On the day she was terminated she and the IT manager frantically rushed to erase large quantities of data from her office computer. This was witnessed by the

[cia-drugs] A Neocolonialist Speaks Out
A Neocolonialist Speaks Out Reading Ralph McGehee’s Deadly Deceits helped me figure out the American foreign policy game, similar to Smedley Butler’s confession. McGehee and Butler had to live with their consciences and could not keep silent in their retirement years. I had heard about servants for the Rothschilds and Rockefellers writing memoirs about what really happens on the inside, only to have the books suppressed, including buying out the publishing companies that tried publishing the books. I have not heard of anybody publishing anything from deep inside the beast, but in 2004, a member of “middle management” of the global corporate empire spoke out, and John Perkins’ Confessions of an Economic Hit Man is the War is a Racket of our time. McGehee was an imperial foot soldier, not beginning to figure out the game until he came up with the “wrong answer” in America’s war against communism. Perkins was on the “privatized” side of the empire, in what can be called middle management, and was frankly told about the nature of his job early on. His cronies literally called themselves “economic hit men,” or EHM for short.[11] He was taught the game from the inside. All the World Bank, IMF and USAID “assistance” was not designed to help the nations receiving the loans, but was designed to enslave those nations to the neocolonial order (or “corporatocracy” as Perkins called it), to give American corporate interests access to rape and plunder those nations, particularly to steal their natural resources and exploit their labor. The elites of those subject nations would be bribed to would play along, but the primary goal was exploiting the peoples and resources of the subject nations. Perkins’ meteoric career took him to many neocolonial hot spots, such as Iran, Colombia, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Panama and Ecuador. Perkins became friends with the populist leaders of Panama and Ecuador, Omar Torrijos and Jaime Roldós, who both refused to kneel to the empire and tried helping their nation’s poor instead. He worried that the CIA and friends would assassinate them, and as soon as Ronald Reagan became president, Torrijos and Roldós died in “accidents” in 1981, where their aircrafts exploded in mid-air, in what were obviously CIA-style assassinations. Those assassinations served notice to the world that the relatively gentle days of Carter’s reign were over. Those national leaders were killed by what Perkins called the “jackals.” When bribes of IMF, World Bank, USAID and illicit funds are not sufficient, then it becomes time to set the jackals loose. If the jackals fail, the U.S. military is sent in, as with Iraq. As with Perkins, the jackals rarely worked directly for the U.S. government, but were “privatized” covert action operatives.[12] Perkins was taught that privatizing covert action had been a trend ever since Kermit Roosevelt, the grandson of president Teddy, overthrew the Iranian government while working for the CIA on behalf of Western oil companies in 1953.[13] Being on the government payroll was problematic, as the Iran-Contra scandal showed. Privatized covert action operatives were much harder to expose and easier to deny, and their activities did not leave the paper trail that government operatives could leave. Privatized covert action was much tidier and could be more effective. Perkins likened the jackals to mafia enforcers, but the jackals serve global corporate empires, not local gangster turf.[14] I have a relative who was a privatized jackal who worked for a household name “diplomat.” His secret career destroyed his life, and I will not be able to publish his tale for a long time, for jackal-related reasons. Perkins’ first job was working for the Peace Corps in the Amazon, to see if he was fit for the rigors of EHM life in Third World countries (although he signed up for idealistic motives, as with most Peace Corps volunteers). The Peace Corps is also a tool of the empire, and even some missionary groups are imperial tools, trying persuasion before the jackals are sent in.[15] As with McGehee, those working for Perkins were not explicitly told about the true nature of their work, and it was the rare person who even wanted to know. Perkins kept his underlings in the dark about what they truly worked for, and often felt jealous of their naïveté.[16] Perkins’ path and mine crossed over the Seabrook nuclear power plant, as I tried to help make it obsolete while he promoted it, knowing that nuclear power was anything but safe and cheap.[17] Perkins’ self-loathing over his life’s path led him to publish his book, even though he was bribed handsomely to never publish his memoirs as an EHM.[18] He even got to start an alternative energy company that was bought out by an oil company for top dollar. Perkins always avoided the hero\martyr path, so never allowed the game to reach the stage of being made an offer he could not

[cia-drugs] Re: ruppert to leave the USA for good
I have followed Ruppert and his information since the days when he, Dan Hopsicker and Kris Millegan used to make presentations about CIADRUGS. I subscribed to From The Wilderness; I bought his video presentations and other material (something about Col. Al Carone. I used to defend him, because I believed his heart was in the right place. Then I began to see and hear the dark side. Ruppert has a very short fuse and a very large ego. On a Rense interview, he was unaware of an open mike during a commercial break. He holds most people in contempt and considers the people who were calling in with questions to be idiots. Do not forget the history that Ruppert has on this bulletin board. Remember the Genesis crap the Hopsicker exposed? Remember the investment seminars in Cancun? Remember Peak Oil? I remember going back and forth with Dale Alan Pheiffer about Peak Oil on this very Bulletin board. He acted like abiotic oil never existed. Review the history and see how dismissive Ruppert was. Remember Mike's Delmart Vreeland Scoop? Remember Alan Greenspan and the poisoned wine? I do not know what you're implying. Ruppert wants to look like some kind of heroic character; instead he's just covering his ass.
