Blood Group
By Chris Floyd

http://context.themoscowtimes.com/story/143093/

06/10/05 Moscow Times - - The history of politics is the history of 
factions jostling for power, by methods seldom peaceful and rarely, if 
ever, honest. War is by far the preferred means of obtaining and augmenting 
domination of the political landscape and the enrichment of the ruling clique.

Sometimes this means violent civil strife within the state itself. At other 
times, the political tool of war is directed outwards, at some demonized 
enemy who poses a threat -- which is almost always exaggerated or 
illusory -- to national survival. Without fail, the warmongering faction's 
political opponents are identified with the enemy, either as direct agents 
or, more often, as unpatriotic abettors whose criticism of the rulers gives 
aid and comfort to the foe.

Blood is an excellent sealant for factional unity. Once lives have been 
taken in pursuit of the faction's interests, which are invariably dressed 
up in the rhetoric of moral purpose, it becomes much harder for the 
faction's members to question or quit the cause. To do so means confessing 
not just to error but to complicity in murder. Few are those who can face 
such a stark unmasking. Self-deception is vital coin in the economy of 
factional partisanship.

Of course, some factions are more venal, more violent and more ambitious 
than others. Many factions are content with a mere piece of the action, a 
cut of the spoils. Although occasionally they might win through to the top 
rank of power, they don't seek to eliminate all their rivals and establish 
permanent rule. But history provides many examples of ruthless factions 
whose thirst for control is unlimited. They seek and will accept no less 
than a profound transformation of state and society into the image of the 
faction itself, using any method to achieve this goal. They will begin with 
peaceful means but will not balk at bloodshed if required. And of course, 
to impose a narrow partisan vision on an entire society inevitably requires 
mass bloodletting in the end.

By no means are such towering ambitions always unsuccessful. This is one of 
the great unspoken truths of history: In many different places and times, 
empires, caliphates, dynasties and other systems of factional dominion have 
been established through enormous evil -- and then persisted in power for 
centuries, lauded as honorable, legitimate governments. In time, their 
domination comes to be seen as a fact of nature, the way things are. There 
is no other way to think, to operate, to exist outside the parameters 
imposed by the ruling worldview.

Western civilization is founded upon this kind of enduring factional 
triumph. Octavian, the teenage adventurer adopted by his distant kinsman 
Julius Caesar, parlayed the chaos of Rome's partisan strife into supreme 
power, using corruption, deceit, betrayal, murder, civil war and foreign 
conquest as his political instruments. With a bloody single-mindedness and 
a scope that would not be seen in Europe again until the 20th century, he 
subsumed the entire state into his faction, merging and equating the two, 
leaving nothing outside the new reality created by his violent success.

There was no ideological, moral or even genuine political content at the 
heart of his faction. Its only goal was power, Octavian's personal power, 
from which his adherents hoped to obtain

offices, land, loot and prestige -- or protection from the ravages of other 
factions. Only later, on the razed ground of total victory, was this 
remorseless, murderous game mythologized into a selfless crusade for 
national security, for order, liberty, prosperity and, yes, for family 
values. Only then, when the dead lay rotting by the hundreds of thousands, 
was the young man accorded the lofty title that carried him into history as 
a beacon of civilization: Augustus. The system he established so brutally 
was maintained -- with equal brutality for all who opposed it -- for more 
than 1,400 years.

At first glance, it might seem absurd to compare this grand figure of world 
history to the gang of apish, third-rate poltroons now camped out along the 
Potomac. But although Octavian's faction contained a handful of remarkably 
able figures, for the most part it was a collection of schemers, 
time-servers, cynical money-men, stunted ideologues, bootlickers, 
propagandists and thugs. Through bribes, threats and the reflected glory of 
Caesar's name, Octavian was able to augment his tawdry crew with the 
fearsome military power of many legions. Armed might -- and the

PINK FLOYD TEAR DOWN THEIR WALL
GAVIN MARTIN on the remarkable reunion of a megagroup with a lasting legacy
Gavin Martin

IT IS the rock reunion no one believed we would ever see - including the band 
members.

Pink Floyd, who endured one of the most acrimonious splits in rock history, 
have torn 
down the wall keeping them apart to make musical history once again in Hyde 
Park.

The Live 8 concert on July 2 will complete a remarkable circle for this ground-
breaking group.

In June 1968, the days of hippiedom and flower power, they headlined the first 
free 
Hyde Park concert, with Tyrannosaurus Rex, Roy Harper and Jethro Tull sharing 
the 
bill.

The late DJ John Peel described it as the nicest concert I've ever been to.

They went on to record albums which sold in huge numbers but were later branded 
rock dinosaurs.

And they became, as a foursome, extinct. But now - hailed for their influence 
by 
today's generation of stars - they are resurrecting themselves to back Bob 
Geldof 
and the Live 8 cause.

In the 22 years since bassist and songwriter Roger Waters left the band he has 
waged a bitter power struggle with guitarist Dave Gilmour and drummer Nick 
Mason.

The war has raged in the courts and in an angry war of words.

Yet behind-the-scenes negotiations have led to a truce to delight their legions 
of 
fans.

Gilmour says: Any squabbles Roger and I have had in the past are so petty in 
this 
context, it's got to be worthwhile.

Waters adds: The cynics will scoff, screw 'em.

While the two men have battled over the band's legacy for two decades, Floyd's 
music and influence has continued to grow.

There was a brief period during the punk era when Pink Floyd were considered 
the 
ultimate outdated progressive rock band. Johnny Rotten wore a Floyd T-shirt 
with the 
words I hate scrawled over it when he joined the Sex Pistols in 1975.

However, there was no mass rebellion against Floyd. Indeed, the punk upsurge 
barely touched their unassailable commercial status.

With the dance explosion of 90s, bands such as The Orb and The Shamen 
acknowledged their debt and today some of the biggest British bands such as 
Coldplay and Radiohead bear their hallmarks.

The Floyd pioneered the rock stadium show with lasers, sound effects and 
elaborate 
stage sets.

They caused a civil aviation incident when the giant inflatable pig they had 
tethered to 
Battersea power station for an album photo shoot broke loose.

The 35 million-selling Dark Side of the Moon, their masterpiece, became one of 
biggest albums in history - without a hit single.

They are the envy of many rockers, revealing an ability to reflect serious 
concerns in 
songs that are both epic and tuneful. And they still remain internationally 
successful.

It is a tribute to the power of the Pink Floyd that the band survived the loss 
of not one 
but two leaders.

Drug casualty Syd Barrett left in the early 70s. The others ensured adequate 
financial 
arrangements for his upkeep and Barrett still lives a reclusive but troubled 
life in 
Cambridge. It is safe to say he will not be playing at Live 8.

With Syd gone, Waters quickly assumed the lead creative role but by 1980, when 
the 
group were performing The Wall (later to be turned into movie starring Geldof), 
the 
bitterness had caught hold.

Each member had their own backstage trailer and hosted their own after-show 
parties. The album that followed, The Final Cut, a Falklands war protest partly 
inspired by the death of Waters' father in the Second World War, was 
practically a 
solo album - with the others barred from the studio.

After that Waters left the group and three years later tried but failed in a 
bid to 
prevent Mason and Gilmour using the name Pink Floyd. The upshot was that band's 
brand survived to stand strong right into the 21st century.

Although Waters' solo career continued, with an all-star cast performing The 
Wall to 
a cast of 200,000 at the Berlin Wall in 1980, his contempt for his former 
colleagues 
seemed absolute.

He said that without him Gilmour had to bring in an army of songwriters and 
even 
then had to go back and re-record Momentary Lapse of Reason, their first album 
without him.

Waters was equally enraged by the book Inside Out, Mason's personal history of 
the 
Floyd.

Gilmour's decision to bring in his wife Polly Samson as the lyricist for the 
group's last 
album, The Division Bell, angered him further.

It's so Spinal Tap. I listened to it

UPI Hears...

By John Daly
UPI International Correspondent

Washington, DC, Jun. 13 (UPI) -- Insider notes from United Press
International for June 8

A former Bush team member during his first administration is now voicing
serious doubts about the collapse of the World Trade Center on 9-11.
Former chief economist for the Department of Labor during President George
W. Bush's first term Morgan Reynolds comments that the official story
about the collapse of the WTC is bogus and that it is more likely that a
controlled demolition destroyed the Twin Towers and adjacent Building No.
7. Reynolds, who also served as director of the Criminal Justice Center at
the National Center for Policy Analysis in Dallas and is now professor
emeritus at Texas AM University said, If demolition destroyed three
steel skyscrapers at the World Trade Center on 9/11, then the case for an
'inside job' and a government attack on America would be compelling.
Reynolds commented from his Texas AM office, It is hard to exaggerate
the importance of a scientific debate over the cause of the collapse of
the twin towers and building 7. If the official wisdom on the collapses is
wrong, as I believe it is, then policy based on such erroneous engineering
analysis is not likely to be correct either. The government's collapse
theory is highly vulnerable on its own terms. Only professional demolition
appears to account for the full range of facts associated with the
collapse of the three buildings.

Two years after President George W. Bush proclaimed mission accomplished
in Iraq, some thoughtful officers are beginning to question who the
insurgents actually are. In a recent interview the head of the US 42nd
Infantry Division which covers key trouble spots, including Baquba and
Samarra Major General Joseph Taluto said he could understand why some
ordinary Iraqis would take up arms against U.S. forces because they're
offended by our presence. Taluto added, If a good, honest person feels
having all these Humvees driving on the road, having us moving people out
of the way, having us patrol the streets, having car bombs going off, you
can understand how they could (want to fight us). There is a sense of a
good resistance, or an accepted resistance. They say 'okay, if you shoot a
coalition soldier, that's okay, it's not a bad thing but you shouldn't
kill other Iraqis.' Taluto insisted however that the other foreign forces
would not be driven out of Iraq by violence, observing, If the goal is to
have the coalition leave, attacking them isn't the way, he said. The way
to make it happen is to enter the political process cooperate and the
coalition will be less aggressive and less visible and eventually it'll go
away. Taluto's comments are sure to raise hackles at the Pentagon, which
insist that all insurgents are either Baathists or al-Qaida. Taluto
observed that 99.9 per cent of those captured fighting the U.S. were
Iraqis.

Ah well, there's always Argentina. The German government is reportedly
blocking the deportation of Nazi war crimes suspects from the U.S. back to
Germany to be tried and punished. The German interior ministry has refused
to accept the suspects even though the United States already has stripped
them of their citizenship because of their World War II history and has
asked Germany to accept them; German officials worry the suspects might
join neo-Nazi groups. Deputy director of the Office of Special
Investigations at the Department of Justice Jonathan Drimmer said, By and
large we're talking about concentration camp guards, we're talking about
collaborators, people who were involved in indigenous police forces, that
kind of thing. German interior ministry officials said that Washington
had not given Berlin enough proof that the suspects were war criminals,
despite repeated requests from Germany. Deportation in U.S. court cases
requires not criminal, but just civil, proceedings, with a burden of proof
of clear, convincing, and unequivocal evidence. German Interior ministry
officials noted that if Germany accepted the deportees, they would be
supported by the German social system and possibly would involve
themselves in the extreme right or anti-Semitic political activities.

We have to recall that Clark is an Angaloidophile, especially with his Order of 
the 
(Saturday) [K]Nights of Bath award and a graduate of the imperialist Rhodes 
system. 
This fits right in with FOX (Fascists  Other Xenophobes) run by that Aussie 
fellow 
and the other Tories who are trying to regain control of the US after over 200 
years of 
being on the run (talk about Angaloids being obsessive!). Additionally, with 
once-
Great Britain using the Americans as surrogates to go back into every place 
they've 
failed (Middle East, Afghanland, Iran, India/Kashmir/Pakistan, et cetera), 
Clark's CV 
comes in handy. All he needs is an outlet to push his/their agenda and he'll be

Defying Bush again, US House votes to curb surveillance 

1 hour, 12 minutes ago

The US House of Representatives has rebelled against President George W. Bush 
for a second time in just three weeks by voting to shield libraries and 
bookstores 
from government investigators trying to collect information on terrorism 
suspects.

By a vote of 238-187, the chamber on Wednesday approved an amendment to a bill 
funding the Justice Department that prohibits it from using a section of the 
USA 
Patriot Act enabling agents to gain access to customer reading records from US 
libraries and bookstore.

The vote in defiance of a presidential veto threat, followed last month's 
passage of 
legislation allowing new federal funding for embryonic stem cell research, also 
in 
spite of Bush's repeated threats to veto it.

Enacted barely six weeks after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on New 
York and Washington, the USA Patriot Act is seen by the Bush administration as 
a 
key legal tool in the war on terror.

It gives the Federal Bureau of Investigation and other US law enforcement 
agencies 
greater search and surveillance powers by streamlining procedures and 
eliminating 
red tape. But critics have charged that the law threatens to undermine key 
civil 
liberties by making Americans more vulnerable to government intrusion.

Section 215 of the act has drawn particularly strong fire because it has 
empowered 
federal agents to access the reading records of Americans in both libraries and 
bookstores after securing an order from a secret court.

A similar amendment to protect US readers, offered by independent Congressman 
Bernie Sanders last year, failed to pass by just one vote.

But on Wednesday, the pendulum clearly swung in his favor as 38 Republicans 
joined most of the Democrats in a bid to remedy the situation.

The passage of this amendment helps reign in an administration intent on 
chipping 
away at the very civil liberties that define us as a nation, an elated Sanders 
said in a 
statement.

We must do all we can to protect Americans from terrorism, but we must do it 
in a 
way that does not undermine the basic constitutional rights that makes us a 
free 
country, he added.

The amendment passed just one day after the White House publicly threatened to 
veto the whole bill that funds the Justice, State and Commerce Departments, if 
the 
Sanders measure ever saw the light of day.

If any amendment that would weaken the USA Patriot Act were included in a bill 
presented to the president for his signature, the presidents senior advisors 
would 
recommend a veto, the White House's Office of Management and Budget warned in 
a terse statement.

But most House members appeared not in the mood for compromises.

House Democratic Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said that when Congress voted for 
the Patriot Act in late 2001, members were confident it would be accompanied by 
strong Congressional oversight.

That oversight has not occurred effectively, stated Pelosi.

Representative Ron Paul (news, bio, voting record), one of two Republican co-
sponsors of the amendment, made clear he was wary of the Patriot Act because it 
promoted big government, an anathema for many traditional conservatives like 
himself.

We must understand that politicians and bureaucrats always seek to expand 
their 
power, without regard to the long-term consequences, he cautioned.

The vote put a big question mark on the administration's efforts to 
re-authorize the 
Patriot Act, key portions of which will automatically expire at the end of this 
year. 

In addition to keeping its existing powers, the FBI has been seeking so-called 
administrative subpoena authority that would allow it to request private 
records from 
hospitals, doctors' offices, banks, hotels or any other business without first 
getting 
approval from a judge. 

It also wants to be able to read the covers of people's mail as it searches for 
terror 
suspects.

From the Magazine | N O T E B O O K
10 Questions For Porter Goss
The director of the CIA talks to TIME
about false intelligence and organic gardening

Posted Sunday, Jun. 19, 2005
He had been director of the Central Intelligence Agency for just seven
months when the onetime CIA spy had to cede much of his power to the new
director of national intelligence, John Negroponte. But Porter Goss, 66,
says he now has more time to run America's largest human intelligence
agency. He sat down for his first interview with TIME's Timothy J. Burger.

WHEN WILL WE GET OSAMA BIN LADEN? That is a question that goes far deeper
than you know. In the chain that you need to successfully wrap up the war on
terror, we have some weak links. And I find that until we strengthen all the
links, we're probably not going to be able to bring Mr. bin Laden to
justice. We are making very good progress on it. But when you go to the very
difficult question of dealing with sanctuaries in sovereign states, you're
dealing with a problem of our sense of international obligation, fair play.
We have to find a way to work in a conventional world in unconventional ways
that are acceptable to the international community.

IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU HAVE A PRETTY GOOD IDEA OF WHERE HE IS. WHERE? I have an
excellent idea of where he is. What's the next question?

VICE PRESIDENT DICK CHENEY HAS SAID THE IRAQ INSURGENCY IS IN ITS LAST
THROES. IS THAT YOUR READ? I think they're not quite in the last throes, but
I think they are very close to it. And I think that every day that goes by
in Iraq where they have their own government and it's moving forward
reinforces just how radical [the insurgents] are and how unwanted they are.

COULD THE U.S. GO TO WAR AGAIN BASED ON FALSE INTELLIGENCE? I would not
agree to surmise that America has gone to war based on false intelligence. I
would say that the right question is: Should America be checking out threats
to America? The answer is yes. And will we find some threats were more talk
than real? Yes, we will.

COULD AL-QAEDA HIT US AGAIN? Yes, it could. Certainly the intent is very
high. And we are trying to stay ahead of their capability. And so far, I
think we have done pretty well carrying the war to them, as it were. I think
that's mattered.

YOU HAVE BEEN A BIG CRITIC OF CIA HUMAN INTELLIGENCE. WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO
FIX IT? We're fixing it with quantity and quality. We're changing methods.
We're changing systems. We're changing it from the beginning to the end,
from the recruitment?the types of people we are trying to attract?to the way
we bring them in, to the experience we give them in training, to the ways we
get them on station or in places where they are of use to us.

We are focused very much on finding ways to get our eyes and ears out and
about on a global basis. And we are doing it in ways that you can't even
imagine and I'm not even going to slightly discuss.

HOW MUCH DOES IT HURT CIA MORALE TO SEE THE DIRECTOR LOSE PRESIDENTIAL FACE
TIME AND THE ROLE OF INTEL QUARTERBACK TO JOHN NEGROPONTE? I would almost
equate it to getting rid of a 60-lb. back sack, climbing up a big, steep
trail. I suddenly feel like I am refreshed. The more you see of a President
of the United States of America, the more you want to be helpful and the
more you want to be very careful not to waste his or her time. And I will
not be using the President's time frivolously.

HOW LONG DO YOU PLAN TO STAY IN THIS JOB? How long are we going to be at war
with the terrorists? It's going to be a while. We've got a lot to do. We're
in the process of rebuilding here. I think this is our moment. I'm going to
be here as long as the moment lasts. And I think it is going to last a while
because we have the opportunity to build.

ARE YOU PERSONAL FRIENDS WITH NEGROPONTE? I went to school with him.

We agreed that we wouldn't talk about Yale. John and I have a pact: I won't
tell if you won't tell.

YOU'RE INTO ORGANIC GARDENING. HOW DID THAT HAPPEN? Mrs. Goss got a little
horrified after she started reading the labels on some of the processed
foods. We have a farm that [uses] no pesticides, no hormones, no
additives?just compost and hard work. And we grow natural. I must say it's
very rewarding to see. But the problem is, the critters take half of every
plant. They're hard to sell. We haven't trained the critters yet which ones
are theirs.

Truth from These Podia

Summary of a Study of Strategic Influence, Perception Management, Strategic 
Information Warfare and Strategic Psychological Operations in Gulf II

By Sam Gardiner1 Colonel, USAF (Retired)

http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article9240.htm

09/08/03

Preface
My intent was not to do this myself. The work had to be a combination of 
the kind of research I was doing and investigative journalism. I could do 
the outside part. Someone had to talk to those inside. After my return from 
an information warfare conference in London in July, I began looking for 
interest in one of the major newspapers. I found that interest in Mark 
Fineman at the LA Times.

Mark had covered the war and previously had been bureau chief for the paper 
in Philippines, India, Cyprus and Mexico City. Although he had covered some 
of the stories I examined in my research, he saw very early the point I was 
making about the implication of their being seen as a whole, the strategic 
picture. We continued to exchange e-mails, talk by phone and met four times 
after our initial session. He shared information he was uncovering. I 
shared my developing research.

Mark Fineman died of an apparent heart attack while on assignment in 
Baghdad on September 23, 2003.

It was not bad intelligence.

It was much more. It was an orchestrated effort. It began before the war, 
was a major effort during the war and continues as post-conflict distortions.

The title of this study was difficult for me. When I began I thought it was 
going to be an analysis of Pentagon spin. I was going to call it, “Truth 
from this Podium.” That was to be a play on promises we were given before 
the war. The more I did, the more it became clear that it was not just the 
Pentagon. It was the White House, and it was Number 10 Downing Street. It 
was more than spin.

I though about calling it “Apparatus of Lies,” connecting to a title the 
White House gave a paper on Iraq’s decade of fabrication, mostly about 
weapons of destruction. Although lies were part of the effort, that title 
would have been off the mark because the story is more about aversion to 
truth rather than the open lie.

I also missed on the subject. I thought it was going to be about spinning 
the stories of the conflict. I was wrong. The real essence of what I found 
was a much broader problem. It is a problem about the future as much as the 
past. This problem became the story of the study.

This is one way of summarizing the study:

The United States (and UK) conducted a strategic influence campaign that:

…distorted perceptions of the situation both before and during the conflict.

…caused misdirection of portions of the military operation.

…was irresponsible in parts.

…might have been illegal in some ways.

…cost big bucks.

…will be even more serious in the future.

I know what I am suggesting is serious. I did not come to these conclusions 
lightly. Because my plea is for truth in war, I have tried to be very 
careful not to fall into a trap of describing exaggerations with 
exaggeration. I hope I’ve done that. I expect some will believe I have been 
guilty of the same sins. As long as we can have some discussion about truth 
in war, I accept the criticism.

You will see in my analysis and comments that I do not accept the notion 
that the first casualty of war is truth. I think we have to have a higher 
standard.

In the most basic sense, Washington and London did not trust the peoples of 
their democracies to come to right decisions. Truth became a casualty. When 
truth is a casualty, democracy receives collateral damage.

My plea is for truth. I believe we have to find ways to restore truth as 
currency of government in matters as serious as war. My story would be 
important if it were the last chapter of the book. It’s not. There is more 
to come. As the United States struggles with a post-conflict Iraq, 
distortions continue. Probably of more concern, major players in the game 
are working on ways to do it “better” in future conflicts.

In other words, it appears as if the issues of this war will become even 
more important for future wars. We have reason to be concerned.

Another way to summarize the study:

Summary
Clearly, the assumption of some in the government is the people of the 
United States and the United Kingdom will come to a wrong decision if they 
are the given truth.

We probably have taken “Information Warfare” too far.

We allowed strategic psychological operations to. become part of public 
affairs.

We failed to make adequate distinction between strategic influence stuff 
and

DEVIL IN DEEP THROAT 


http://www.nypress.com/18/25/newscolumns/paulkrassner2.cfm
By Paul Krassner 


Around the time he was leaking information to Bob Woodward, assistant FBI director Mark Felt was authorizing illegal searches and burglaries against relatives and friends of Weather Underground fugitives.


"There was no instruction to me," he is quoted in the Church Report, "nor do I believe there is any instruction in the Inspector's manuals, that inspectors should be on the alert to see that constitutional values are being protected."



One of these authorized break-ins occurred at the New York apartment of Jennifer Dohrn, sister and aboveground spokesperson for Weatherwoman Bernardine Dohrn. The agents read Jennifer's mail, including love letters from John Johnson in Echo Park, California. 


Johnson is now the publisher of Change-Links, a monthly paper featuring a calendar of events for the progressive community in Los Angeles. When Felt was indicted and convicted for the Dohrn break-in, the jury observed: "All they did was read love letters." 



When Ronald Reagan became president, he pardoned Felt. Jennifer found out from reading her own Freedom of Information files that there had also been an FBI plan to kidnap her baby in order to force Bernardine to surrender. A reporter tipped her off that the FBI agents stole a pair of her panties and put them in a glass case, which they gave to Felt.


I asked Johnson, "In view of both Mark Felt's intimidation of Jennifer and Deep Throat's aid in bringing Nixon down, do you have mixed feelings about him?"



"No mixed feelings," he replied. "I would assume his efforts in bringing Nixon down had little to do with justice but some fraternal war the FBI was having with the White House, who were overtaking their powers."


G. Gordon Liddy, however, reeks of ambivalence. Although he feels that Deep Throat was a traitor, he considered Mark Felt to be a poster boy for illegal break-ins. A year before Watergate, Liddy led a "bag job"¡Xa surreptitious entry¡Xinto the office of Dr. Lewis Fielding, a Beverly Hills psychiatrist who had refused to cooperate with FBI agents investigating one of his patients, Daniel Ellsberg, leaker of the Pentagon Papers. It was the function of the White House "plumbers" to "plug" such a leak.



The burglars scattered pills around the office to make it look like a junkie had been responsible. The police assured Dr. Fielding that the break-in was made in search of drugs, even though he found Ellsberg's records removed from their folder. An innocent black man, Elmer Davis, was arrested, convicted and sent to prison, while Liddy remained silent.


Researcher Mae Brussell corresponded with Davis, and after he finished serving Liddy's time behind bars, he ended up living with Mae. It was a match made in Conspiracy Heaven.

Bush, believe that they create their own reality, live in their own world, and make their own history. It¡¦s kind of funny how they don¡¦t want to talk about it right now.Freshly ironed World Bank president Paul Wolfowitz, when asked about the Downing Street Memoranda, had this to say:"There will be a time and place to talk about history," he added, "but I really don't believe it's now." Highly classified and eyes-only official government records, written by the British counterpart to George Tenet at the time, record the Bush decision in early 2002 to invade Iraq ¡V long before the Congress or the American public was alerted by the administration to any national security risk involving Iraq. The Downing Street memoranda also indicate that the George W. Bush administration crafted and disseminated half-truths and falsehoods to Congress and the media to support this predetermined policy. I saw it, many others saw it, and we could not stop it. Each and every day since the war in Iraq was illegally launched, long before actual invasion in March 2003, people have died as a result. Cities and entire nations have been destroyed as a result. Billions and billions of U.S. borrowed money ¡V added to the oppressive tab already owed by our children and grandchildren ¡V has been wasted as a result.  Click to join catapultthepropaganda    http://groups.yahoo.com/group/catapultthepropaganda/join  These memoranda from Downing Street, circa 2002, also indicate that the Bush administration was attempting ¡V through increased military attack beyond enforcement of the Northern and Southern No-Fly Zones and through an obscenely oppressive international inspection regime ¡V to goad Saddam Hussein into some action that could then be used to justify a military action by the United States. Tragically for the neoconservatives, Saddam Hussein did not take the bait. He sat passively as the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy attempted to soften up the Iraqi battlefield. Saddam Hussein eagerly welcomed the most intrusive inspection regime imaginable. The inspectors had full access, and they ¡V like David Kay¡¦s team after them ¡V found no weapons of mass destruction. No stockpiles, no existent capability, no programs. But Wolfowitz prefers not to discuss such history. He remains, in his own mind, a hugely successful instrument in gaining the war he had long fantasized and craved. What¡¦s not to like?Where is Donald Rumsfeld on the Downing Street Memoranda? Increasingly, Rummy seems to embody the utter dementia that permeates the current administration. He seems to not to understand questions, not to have seen the news, not to have heard of the policy, not to be aware of the facts, not to conceive of the gravity of his personal situation in historical terms.  Ah, but there is time for that later, they say. Dick Cheney, beyond identifying and denunciating presumed enemies of America behind every shrub at the Naval Observatory and beyond, has had little to offer. While Cheney makes history ¡V for himself, Halliburton, Iraq, energy policy and American neoconservatism ¡V discussion of that history can wait. Let¡¦s not talk about it now. George W. Bush gave another speech this week, regarding energy. It occurred to me again, as I watched and listened to his words, that we have elevated only knaves and fools to Washington. Like Spanish conquistadors witnessed for the first time, we believe them gods and kneel. Perhaps a better analogy is seen in The Gods Must Be Crazy, where a Coke bottle dropped from an airplane leads to a new "culture" of worship for an African tribe ¡V a culture filled with hatred, envy, and discontent.  Young George spoke this week about future energy technologies, ethanol from corn, and bio-diesel from soybeans. He said taxpayers should be glad that he is spending "our money" to pay for programs to teach people to conserve energy and to subsidize research into energy saving practices, devices and vehicles.  Higher oil prices ¡V made higher by wars and threats of war and embargoes and government managed international trade and expansion of unpopular U.S. military operations around oil pipelines and fields ¡V in another world, would amply fuel this type of alternative energy research.  But no, the American government needs to extract more tax receipts and can somehow

Then, after abducting theirtarget and flying him to Cairo under the noses of Italian police, some ofthem rounded out their European trip with long weekends in Venice andFlorence before leaving the country, the records show.Milan prosecutors and police spent the last two years documenting Americans'role in the Feb. 17, 2003 disappearance of Hussan Mustafa Omar Nasr, 42, anEgyptian cleric. On Thursday, a Milan judge ruled that there was enoughevidence to warrant the arrest of 13 suspected CIA operatives on kidnappingcharges.The Americans' whereabouts are unknown, and Italian authorities acknowledgedthat the odds were slim that they would ever be taken into custody. The CIAhas declined to comment.While most of the operatives apparently used false identities, they left along trail of paper and electronic records that enabled Italianinvestigators to retrace their movements in detail. Posing as tourists andbusiness travelers, the Americans often stayed in the same five-star hotels,rarely paid in cash, gave their frequent traveler account numbers to deskclerks and made dozens of calls from unsecure phones in their rooms.During January 2003, they were regular patrons at the Hotel Principe diSavoia in Milan, which bills itself as "one of the world's most luxuriouslyappointed hotels" and features a marble-lined spa and minibar Cokes thatcost about $10. Seven of the Americans stayed at the 80-year-old hotel forperiods ranging from three days to three weeks at nightly rates of about$450, racking up total expenses of more than $42,000 there.The first operative came to Milan on Dec. 7, 2002 and stayed for 11 days atthe Milan Westin Palace, according to the court documents. The othersstarted arriving in early January and by Feb. 1 almost all of them were inplace. They eschewed safe houses and private homes, bunking instead atplaces such as the Milan Hilton ($340 a night) and the Star Hotel Rosa ($325a night).In early February, most of the operatives gathered for a rendezvous in LaSpezia, an Italian seaside resort town on the Ligurian coast, almost athree-hour drive from Milan. Hotel records show that they checked into twohotels in La Spezia but stayed for only a few hours before departing. Someof them then drove to Florence for an overnight trip, but the rest returnedto Milan.According to Milan investigators, there were two distinct groups. One crewof six was in charge of planning and surveillance, checking out possibleescape routes and procuring cell phones. Each of those people left thecountry about a week before Nasr was reported missing.The other group -- which included almost all of those whose arrests are nowbeing sought -- was in charge of the kidnapping operation itself, accordingto court documents.On Feb. 17, shortly after noon, Nasr walked down the Via Guerzoni toward amosque to attend daily prayers. He was being watched by a crew of eightoperatives, who accosted him on the sidewalk, sprayed chemicals in his faceand shoved him into the back of a white van, according to an eyewitnessstatement given to investigators.The Americans, who between them were carrying 17 cell phones, immediatelystarted dialing numbers in Italy and the United States, according toinvestigators, who reported that by piecing together records of thosephones' electronic signals they were able to trace the route of the van asit headed toward Aviano Air Base, a joint U.S.-Italian militaryinstallation.The van entered the base without being stopped at the regular securitycheckpoints, Milan investigators found. Court documents show that a U.S.colonel at the air base in charge of security received three phone callsfrom the operatives as they drove toward Aviano.Milan prosecutors said they would ask the U.S. government for permission tointerrogate the colonel, concluding that "it reasonably appears that he wasinvolved with the execution of this kidnapping and safekeeping of thehostage." The colonel now works at the Pentagon, according to a reportSaturday in Corriere della Sera, an Italian

He was a rock-'n'-roll impresario who helped stage free concerts and ``Human Be-ins'' at Golden Gate Park that became the backdrop for what became known as San Francisco's Summer of Love in 1967 at the height of anti-Vietnam War sentiment. Helms was instrumental in helping to develop bands that delivered what became known as the San Francisco Sound. ``Without Chet, there would be no Grateful Dead, no Big Brother and the Holding Company, no Jefferson Airplane, no Country Joe  the Fish, no Quicksilver Messenger Service,'' said Barry Melton, the lead guitarist for Country Joe  the Fish. Helms hooked Joplin up with Big Brother for jam sessions in a basement in the Haight Ashbury neighborhood. They debuted in June 1966 at the Avalon, officially launching the bluesy rock-'n'-roll diva's short career. Helms eventually dropped out of the concert business for a time in 1970. ``Chet was a hippie,'' said Mickey Hart, drummer for the Grateful Dead. ``We were all hippies. He hated to charge for the music.''~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ AlamaineGrand Forks, ND, US of Awww.ctrl.orgDECLARATION  DISCLAIMER==ctrl is a discussion  informational exchange list.

''Its job is not to investigate individuals, butto clear streets, protect facilities and help first responders.''Top Guard officers said that they have no intentions of breakinglong-established rules barring the military from gathering information onAmericans and that the evolving program is meant to help California and thenation thwart terrorist attacks.''We do not do any type of surveillance or human intelligence or mixing withcrowds,'' said Lt. Col. Stan Zezotarski. ''The National Guard does notoperate in that way. We have always had a policy where we respect the rightsof citizens.''Forming the unit|Generally, the National Guard is called upon to help the state deal withnatural disasters and riots. But the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have putmajor strains on the military, which has started drawing more on Guardsoldiers to fight overseas. And now Guard units are being integrated intoanti-terrorism efforts in the United States.The intelligence unit was quietly established last year by Major Gen. ThomasEres, the National Guard leader who was forced by the Schwarzeneggeradministration to retire earlier this month. Eres left amid allegations thathe failed to prove his shooting skills for a trip to Iraq, set up aquestionable military flight for a Republican friend's political group, andimproperly used money meant to stem the flow of drugs for anti-terrorismprograms.Just before Eres retired, the Guard hired its first director for theintelligence unit who has ''broad authority'' and is expected to ''exercisea high degree of independent judgment and discretion,'' according to the jobdescription obtained by the Mercury News.''However, highly controversial or precedent-setting decisions, directivesand policies are discussed with the appropriate senior leadership prior toimplementation,'' the description states.Col. Robert J. O'Neill, a veteran intelligence officer who started last weekas director of the new program, said he envisions his team as being aone-stop shop for local, state and national law enforcement to shareinformation. Intelligence officers will have access to sensitive nationalsecurity information that they can analyze and potentially share with stateand local law enforcement, he said.''We are trying to integrate into their systems and bring them informationthat they don't have,'' O'Neill said.He said his unit would not cross any legal lines into spying on Americans.But the Guard's role in monitoring at least one demonstration has alreadyalarmed civil libertarians.Tracking the rally|Last month, a group of anti-war activists, including the parents of Americansoldiers killed in Iraq, held a small Mother's Day rally at the VietnamVeteran's Memorial near the California Capitol to call for the return of allNational Guard troops by Labor Day.Three days before the rally, as a courtesy to the military, an aide in Gov.Arnold Schwarzenegger's press office alerted the Guard to the event,according to e-mails obtained by the Mercury News.The information was passed up the chain of command directly to

Moore, 707-874-2248For Protest Logistics: Don Eichelberger, 415-567-4577,or Paul Encimer, 707-540-9061This July 15-17 will mark 25 years of protest at the exclusive mens-only club for the wealthy elite, Bohemian Grove, Calif.In 1980, a small Sonoma County-based group, SONOMoreAtomics, began researching some of the corporations that were profiting from nuclear power and weapons. Since Bohemian Grove was located in their backyard, they began a protest to make the connections between the top elite of the corporate, banking, military and governmental circles.Within a week through contacts inside the Grove, they obtained a membership and guest list, and the serious research began. That same year, a reporter from Mother Jones magazine made contact, and the protesters helped him to get inside. By 1981, national attention had been called to this once-secret gathering through articles in Mother Jones and Parade Magazine - the latter by Jack Anderson.By July 1981, a network of 81 peace, environmental and justice groups had formed a coalition called the Bohemian Grove Action Network, which has called attention to this elite network of the "good old boys" for the past 25 years. Special attention has been given to the daily "Lakeside Talks," which have included presidents, CEOs of the Fortune 500, the head of the World Bank, and assorted military leaders.The club's members include many U.S. presidents. George H.W. Bush and Gerald Ford are both members, as was the late Ronald Reagan, Richard Nixon, and every Republican President since Herbert Hoover. There has not been a Democratic president as a member, but Pat Brown was a member when he was California governor."We saw in 1980 and 1984 how unified 'Bohemia' was around Ronald Reagan," said Don Eichelberger, a long-time organizer of grove protests and current state Green Party co-chair of the Green Issues Working Group. "We know from their own archives that the Manhattan Project was conceived and promoted at the Grove, and that a deal supporting Eisenhower over Nixon for president in 1956 was struck there. So no question that 'weaving spiders' do come there." The latter statement referred to the club's motto, "Weaving spiders come not here!" "These men constitute the biggest back room in the country, whose deals have sealed the fate of America as a bully willing to use its might to help them make more money and control the nation," said Paul Encimer of Emerald Greens and co-coordinator of the convergence."In reality, these are public policy talks given without public scrutiny," added Mary Moore, co-founder of BGAN.This July 15, the incoming Bohemians will be greeted at the gates as they arrive for the first weekend of their two-week summer encampment. On Saturday, July 16, on the day that the Bohemians stage a ceremony, protesters will be at the gates.On Sunday, July 17, activists will convene in the Monte Rio amphitheater to network and strategize.This year's protest is being organized by the California State Greens and endorsed by various social activist groups and individuals.For more information, call the above phone numbers or go tohttp://www.sonomacountyfreepress.com/bohos/bohoindx.htmlYahoo!

[cia-drugs] Fwd: [ctrl] Sibel Edmonds-An Appeal2The Internet Community

2005-06-26 Thread RoadsEnd

David Jenkins III   There has been much activity on the Internet the last few weeks regarding the Downing Street Minutes - and rightfully so. Documentation proving the Bush administration manufactured intelligence in order to invade Iraq should be on the front page of every newspaper and should be the lead story on every newscast - but we all know how things work (or don't work) these days. However, the strength and determination of the Internet Community has managed to keep this story from disappearing while, at the same time, applying pressure to the mainstream media.  In one instance, it seems that the Washington Post felt enough pressure by angry readers who were outraged by the paper's burying the Downing Street story on page 18 two weeks after the news broke in Britain . Just this past Sunday (June 12), the Post featured a follow-up story on yet another document proving the Bush administration was ignoring any suggestions for post-invasion Iraq -  which helps to explain the bloody chaos wrought upon that country, thanks to us - but this time the Post put the story on Page One. And of course there was Representative John Conyers' forum on June 16 that set the foundation for an ongoing look into those documents, which now total nine. All due to the relentless work of the Internet Community. Nice work, gang.     Click to join catapultthepropaganda    http://groups.yahoo.com/group/catapultthepropaganda/join * * *  As important as the Downing Street Minutes and continued pressure on the mainstream media are to revealing the truth to the nation, there is another critically important story that requires our attention and our action - and the clock is ticking away on this one. We have only until the end of July to make a difference and perhaps turn the course of history. Of course, I'm referring to Sibel Edmonds and, after my conversations with her, I felt I should make an effort before time runs out and her witness to significant governmental chicanery is suppressed by the government forever.  On May 14, Edmonds published "Gagged, But Not Dead" which can still be read on her website where she updates the reader on the status of her case and the subsequent gag order placed not only on her but also on members of Congress forbidding even discussing matters relating to her case!  Many of you may still be nauseous after being lectured to by the likes of criminals such as G. Gordon Liddy and Chuck Coleson in the wake of Mark Felt outing himself as "Deep Throat." These ex-convicts, along with former Nixonians like Pat Buchanan, ranted repeatedly that Felt should have followed the "proper channels of authority" if he had had a problem with the Watergate scandal rather than sneaking off to the Washington Post.  Sibel Edmonds is the perfect example of why Felt did the right thing when he leaked to the Post: those "proper channels of authority" in the Nixon administration were corrupt. Those "proper channels" were active co-conspirators themselves.  However, the Nixon administration's activities were simple child's play compared to the practiced corruption that rules the Bush II administration - and whistleblowers like Edmonds, Colleen Rowley and others now know that. Hopefully for them and all of us, there's still time to correct the dismaying non-results their adherence to following "proper channels" have produced.  Edmonds testified for more than three hours behind closed doors to the 9/11 Commission about, assumedly, her concerns over breeches of security from within the FBI, specifically those of fellow linguist Melek Can Dickerson, wife of USAF Major Douglas Dickerson. There were also concerns of the FBI withholding valuable information from field agents specializing in terrorism investigations by unit supervisor Mike Feghali. The usual reasoning behind this practice is that the information also contains references to "certain countries" or "lucrative or political connections with this country [U.S.]"In other words, if exposing a targeted terrorist cell's illegal activities would prove embarrassing to either the "interests" of the United States or one of our allies, then the matter is tucked away.  These and other concerns raised by Edmonds have been confirmed by the FBI - as stated openly by Senators Patrick Leahy and Charles Grassley - and they were also supported by documentation and corroborating witnesses. Yet, after more than three hours of testimony before the Commission, Sibel Edmonds is barely a footnote in the official 9/11 report. Edmonds submitted an open letter to the Commission

Ford took pen inhand and changed - ever so slightly - the Warren Commission's key sentenceon the place where a bullet entered John F. Kennedy's body when he waskilled in Dallas.The effect of Ford's change was to strengthen the commission's conclusionthat a single bullet passed through Kennedy and severely wounded TexasGov. John Connally - a crucial element in its finding that Lee HarveyOswald was the sole gunman.A small change, said Ford on Wednesday when it came to light, one intendedto clarify meaning, not alter history.''My changes had nothing to do with a conspiracy theory,'' he said in atelephone interview from Beaver Creek, Colo. ''My changes were only anattempt to be more precise.''But still, his editing was seized upon by members of the conspiracycommunity, which rejects the commission's conclusion that Oswald actedalone.''This is the most significant lie in the whole Warren Commissionreport,'' said Robert D. Morningstar, a computer systems specialist in NewYork City who said he has studied the assassination since it occurred andwritten an Internet book about it.The effect of Ford's editing, Morningstar said, was to suggest that abullet struck Kennedy in the neck, ''raising the wound two or threeinches. Without that alteration, they could never have hoodwinked thepublic as to the true number of assassins.''If the bullet had hit Kennedy in the back, it could not have struckConnolly in the way the commission said it did, he said.The Warren Commission concluded in 1964 that a single bullet - fired by a''discontented'' Oswald - passed through Kennedy's body and wounded hisfellow motorcade passenger, Connally, and that a second, fatal bullet,fired from the same place, tore through Kennedy's head.The assassination of the president occurred Nov. 22, 1963, in Dallas;Oswald was arrested that day but was shot and killed two days later as hewas being transferred from the city jail to the county jail.Conspiracy theorists reject the idea that a single bullet could have hitboth Kennedy and Connally and done such damage. Thus they argue that asecond gunman must have been involved.Ford's changes tend to support the single-bullet theory by making aspecific point that the bullet entered Kennedy's body ''at the back of hisneck'' rather than in his uppermost back, as the commission stafforiginally wrote.Ford's handwritten notes were contained in 40,000 pages of records kept byJ. Lee Rankin, chief counsel of the Warren Commission.They were made public Wednesday by the Assassination Record Review Board,an agency created by Congress to amass all relevant evidence in the case.The documents will be available to the public in the National Archives.The staff of the commission had written: ''A bullet had entered his backat a point slightly above the shoulder and to the right of the spine.''Ford suggested changing that to read: ''A bullet had entered the back ofhis neck at a point slightly to the right of the spine.''The final report said: ''A bullet had entered the base of the back of hisneck slightly to the right of the spine.''Ford, then House Republican leader and later elevated to the presidencywith the 1974 resignation of Richard Nixon, is the sole surviving memberof the seven-member commission chaired by Chief Justice Earl Warren.{snip}AP-NY-07-02-97 1826EDTNote bullet hole lower down on back. Had the bullet which entered at thispoint been the same bullet which the Warren Report claims then exitedthrough the knot of JFK's tie, it would have passed well above JohnConnally's head.One thing is clear. That hole is nowhere near where JFK's neck was. It wasin his back. Photo of JFK's suit coat, showing that the bullet hole in the shirt andsuit coat line up, discrediting the Warren Commission claim that the shirthad "bunched up" around JFK's neck when the bullet hit.Updated/Revised: Monday, February 23, 2004 03:21:50 -0800|| Home | Current Updates | The U.S. Constitution | The Shadow Governmenta.k.a. the Illuminati | Secret Societies | The New World Order | Occultism |Banking  Paper Money | Politics | Business | Technology | Media Control |Government  Mind Control | Microchipping | Drugs | Nazism Today  In ThePast | The War on Terrorism | Religions  Religious Wars | Wars Towards aNew World Order | U.S. Patents to Control Us | Surveillance | Health |Miscellaneous | Articles by Wes Penre | E-Books for Free |

The series returns this week to the Internet in its original, groundbreaking format after years offline.In reports filed for the August 19 edition of the San Jose Mercury News, Gary Webb looks back to the origins of crack cocaine use in Los Angeles. Just as the invention of crack was bringing cocaine out of the parlors and clubs of the elite and into poor urban neighborhoods, a young Ricky Ross used his connections to the Crips organization in L.A. on the one hand, and to Nicaraguan suppliers with unbelievably low-priced cocaine on the other to become the king of the crack business. A former L.A. narcotics officer tells Webb of Ross that "…there's no telling how many tens of thousands of people he touched. He's responsible for a major cancer that still hasn't stopped spreading." Through Ross, the Contras and their North American allies were able to pour tons of cocaine into the streets of L.A. to fund their war.Read all three full reports, plus Day One of the "Dark Alliance" series, in The Narco News Bulletin:http://www.narconews.com From somewhere in a country called América,Dan FederManaging EditorThe Narco News Bulletinhttp://www.narconews.com[EMAIL PROTECTED]Narco News is supported by:The Fund for Authentic JournalismP.O.

Raich: Growing food is not a fundamental right To Whom It May Concern: Unbelievable as is it may sound, the U.S. Supreme Court said in Gonzales v. Raich,See http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/scripts/getcase.pl?court=USvol=000invol=03-1454, that the Constitution’s Commerce Clause supersedes the un-enumerated Ninth Amendment right to grow food, grow medicinal plants, and to feed or medicate ones own body. The Court gave particular relevance to the New Deal case of Wickard v. Filburn (1942) maintaining that Congress’ commerce power included intrastate production of wheat produced for the Ohio farmer’s own consumption. To think that something as fundamental to survival as the production of food and medicine for strictly personal consumption is only a privilege granted by Congress contravenes every principle upon which this nation was founded. And then to deny the sick and suffering their right to medicate themselves is a usurpation of liberty and justice so reprehensible that it confounds the most unreasonable among us. Indeed, the un-enumerated rights protected by the Ninth Amendment will never be protected.  The Ninth Amendment is a dead letter. The Ninth Amendment was designed to involve rights too numerous to mention.  For example, do you have the right to defecate, urinate, shelter yourself, feed yourself, medicate yourself, procreate, marry, have consensual sex, clothe yourself, breathe, etc., etc., etc.? This decision demands that we force our elected representatives to put an ”Enumerated Rights” Amendment into the Constitution. And let’s demand to have it authorized by state constitutional conventions instead of by the state legislatures. This is a matter for the people to decide, not elected officials. With God’s grace, perhaps America won’t have to thank the Almighty Congress for the dinner we harvest. Sincerely, Chris WrightABNORMLMN6304 Falcon CourtEdina, MN 55436(952) 920-5024 HM[EMAIL PROTECTED]

People attempting to go to health centers are shot at," testified Eman Kmammas, an Iraqi translator. "There are many crippled children. There are thousands of widows and orphans. There are no police for security and there are no courts. Even hospitals are occupied and bombed and burned."    Former US Air Force combat veteran Tim Goodrich stunned the jury by revealing his role in the "softening up" of Iraq months before the US declaration of war. "We were dropping bombs then, and I saw bombing intensify," Goodrich explained to a hushed room. "All the documents coming out now, the Downing Street memo and others, confirm what I had witnessed in Iraq. The war had already begun while our leaders were telling us that they were going to try all diplomatic options first."    This gripping but unsettling revelation came on the second day of proceedings at the World Tribunal on Iraq, held in Istanbul, Turkey, which is collecting evidence of war crimes in Iraq.     Goodrich's testimony had just begun when a 75-foot banner prepared by the Iraqi delegation and composed of harrowing pictures of Iraqi child victims of the war was carried into the courtroom. In the presence of the father of one of the victims shown on the banner, Goodrich and others stood and a moment of silence spread through the room while the banner was carried through the hall. The teeming press contingent rushed to photograph the scene as some members of the audience cried.     While the first day of the trial had concentrated on moral and political issues, emotional testimony from Iraqi witnesses dominated the second day of proceedings. Fadil al Bedrani, an Iraqi journalist who survived the siege of Fallujah, told the audience that he watched as "20-25 persons were running barefoot when an American warplane bombed, killing and wounding them; only one elderly woman and 2 children stayed safe ... the doctors and the staff of the Fallujah hospital were detained; the warplanes bombed the alternative hospital in downtown ... and bombed the medicine warehouses in Nazzal area, killing 4 doctors, and 8 medical workers."    Dahr Jamail, an unembedded journalist who had been reporting from Iraq during the past year, narrated the story told to him by Ali Shalal Abbas from Baghdad. While detained at Abu Ghraib and tortured, Abbas was approached by two men, "one a foreigner and one a translator," who asked him who he was. "I said I'm a human being. They told me, 'We are going to cut your head off and send you to hell, we will take you to Guantánamo.'" Abbas questioned why only Saddam Hussein, who also had people tortured, was put on trial while the Americans were not.    The fate and the rights of the detainees remained a recurring theme at the Tribunal. Iraqi lawyer Amal Sawadi expressed her frustration at being stonewalled by occupation authorities who refused to tell her of the charges against her clients, if there was any evidence, and even if the person was under detention. "All of Iraq has become a vast prison," she sighed. "Is this what they call democracy?"    There was also ample discussion at the Tribunal - supported by nearly 200 non-governmental organizations ranging from Greenpeace to the Vietnam Veterans Against the War - of various forms of resistance. Goodrich, who refused to return to Iraq for an additional tour of duty, urged more soldiers to become conscientious objectors. And to those who questioned his anti-war activism, he responded, "Some people accuse us of being against the troops or unpatriotic, but we are the troops. How can I be unpatriotic by asking our soldiers to come back home alive?"     The Egyptian sociologist Samir Amin urged participants of the more than twenty tribunals held around the world over the last two years to begin a campaign under the slogan "US Come Home" in America and "US Go Home" in the rest of the world.     Eva Ensler, member of the WTI jury and American playwright most famous for her award-winning "Vagina Monologues," told reporters that both the UN and national governments had failed the Iraqi people and that "the people's movement across the world that rose up is an opportunity for the conscience of the world to be heard."    Iraqi and US military testimony was joined by former Assistant Secretary-General of the United Nations Denis Halliday, who argued that the Tribunal has an "obligation to demand full international prosecution of US/UK war leaders as war criminals involved in the

Niccolò Machiavelli, The Prince: Concerning The Way In Which Princes Should Keep Faith, Florence, 1532 “You can fool some of the people all of the time and those are the ones you want to concentrate on.”George W. Bush, joking at a Gridiron Club dinner, Washington, D.C., March 2001 “Goodbye Jack Daniels, Hello Jesus!" So it was that George W. Bush says he met the Messiah as he switched the bottle for the Bible on a summer day after his 40th birthday. When he was young and irresponsible, he was really irresponsible, he admits, but all that has changed. Now, they say, his Christian faith permeates his daily life; he starts each day on his knees, reads the Bible and devoutly attends church. The air in the White House is said to be scented with the fragrant incense of prayerfulness, and presidential speeches are spiced with religious metaphors. Bush envisions himself fulfilling a divine calling, as he heads a global battle that pits the forces of good against the forces evil. He claims God speaks to his mind, directing his actions and inspiring his presidential policy decisions. He says he “felt the call" before his inauguration as Texas governor in 1999, as he listened to Methodist pastor Mark Craig preach on Moses' reluctance to lead. It spoke conviction directly to Bush’s heart for abrogation of responsibility. Assembling leading pastors at the governor’s mansion for a laying-on of hands, he announced the news: "I've heard the call, I believe God wants me to run for president." Bush’s testimony appears to the sincere evangelical to be genuine; his heart was changed in a “born again” experience, through a personal encounter with Christ leading to repentance, reconciliation with God, and a conviction of God's plan and purpose for his life. Desperate for a breath of moral fresh air after the putrid impropriety that disgraced the Clinton White House, honest Christians who never question the meaning of the word “is”, were swayed by Bush's invocation of the name of “Christ”. He was, by his own admission, “one of them”. Few doubted and even fewer publicly questioned the veracity of Bush’s “born again” claims. But, hey, hey, in those exuberant days that brought the warm glow of Christian fellowship right to the heart of the election campaign, who would have dared to mouth a ripple of doubt? And who could have foreseen that in pursuing their quest for a leader of integrity and compassion in action, the Christian churches, armed with the Bible in one hand and the flag in the other, were just about to exchange one liar in the White House for a better one. Dominion and deception go claw in glove. From empire to empire there have always existed foul creatures in elegant attire lurking beneath the mud of political intrigue with megalomaniac intent. Deeply dark elites have always wielded untold influence beneath the mantles of anonymity that keep the powers behind the powers hidden from the public eye. Yet today, as the autocratic American Empire performs its awesome debut on the global stage, some of these dangerous schemers have boldly emerged from their subterranean refuge to reveal their previously hidden lust for power, and are now, in public statements and policy papers, baring their visible teeth. These nefarious elitists – all too often naively scorned as paper tigers by sensible folk who dismiss conspiracy theories – may have a smile as sweet as sugar and spice, but they also have a nasty snarl and a fearsome bite. The deception that promotes their bid for dominion is the claim that American military dominance over the world is best for everyone, and that this policy – disguised as “democracy” – is endorsed, even directed by God. The new elite that slipped from the shadows to direct the Bush administration foreign policy are neoconservatives, or neocons, who have formed an unprecedented right-wing alliance of former leftists and liberals. Their ideology is paradoxical, spawned in that fetid breeding ground where right meets left, producing a hybrid offspring that resembles a power-hungry, pro-Zionist mutation of Trotsky's ideas on permanent revolution. This new elite now openly promotes a glorious vision of American supremacy

Gen. MuhammadAbdallah] Shahwani also said that the U.S. occupation has failed to crackthe problem of broad support for the insurgency. The insurgents, he said,"are mostly in the Sunni areas where the population there, almost 200,000,is sympathetic to them." He said most Iraqi people do not actively supportthe insurgents or provide them with material or logistical help, but at thesame time they won’t turn them in. One military source involved in thePentagon debate agrees that this is the crux of the problem, and he suggeststhat new offensive operations are needed that would create a fear of aidingthe insurgency. "The Sunni population is paying no price for the support itis giving to the terrorists," he said. "From their point of view, it iscost-free. We have to change that equation."As of January, the Pentagon would admit only that Death Squads were on thetable.Pentagon sources emphasize there has been no decision yet to launch theSalvador option.In a postscript to the Newsweek article Rumsfeld responded to the charges:And at a news conference on Jan. 11, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld saidthe idea of a Salvador option was "nonsense" and denied that U.S. SpecialForces were going into Syria. But when asked whether such a policy was underconsideration, he replied, "Why would I even talk about something likethat?"Today, Knight-Ridder reports that the Salvador Option may be a reality.BAGHDAD - Days after Iraq's new Shiite-led government was announced on April28, the director of Baghdad's central morgue began noticing that the bodiesof Sunni Muslim men were turning up after the men had been detained bypeople wearing Iraqi police uniforms.The official response:Ghathanfar al-Jasim, who sits on Iraq's national judicial council andfunctions as an attorney general, said it was difficult to discussextrajudicial killings.  "We cannot admit that our police are doing it; itwould make them look weak,"andBut when battered corpses turn up outside Interior Ministry facilities,[Raad] Sultan [an official in Iraq's Ministry of Human Rights] said, "Howcan I prove it is the security forces?”Knight-Ridder reports several examples.  Here is one.On May 5, for example, 14 Sunni farmers were abducted from an east Baghdadvegetable market. […] The bodies of the farmers were discovered in shallowgraves the next day. They had all been blindfolded, handcuffed and shot oncein the back of the head […]  "A patrol of more than 10 police vehicles droveup and parked," said Ali Karim, a fruit vendor. "They were running throughthe street with their guns, saying that the farmers had a car bomb withthem. They pushed them against the walls and asked them for their IDs."A moment of respect for the author of the Knight Ridder article:[The author of this article] Yasser Salihee was a special correspondent.

Although most of the references are listed at the conclusion of each article, other more general reference materials were also used.Click here for these and other sources on the American Liberty League and the plot to overthrow FDR!The American Liberty League By Richard Sanders, Editor, Press for Conversion!Lurking in the background behind the plot to oust FDR was the American Liberty League, a pro-business think-tank and ultra-right wing lobby group. Its treasurer was Jerry MacGuire’s boss, Grayson Murphy, a leading J.P. Morgan broker. One of its top donors was Robert Clark, who also tried to recruit General Smedley Butler into the conspiracy to oust President Franklin D. Roosevelt.The origins of the League were very closely tied to an earlier organization of multi-millionaires, motivated entirely by greed and self-interest, that concerned itself with repealing the alcohol prohibition laws, The Association Against the Prohibition Amendment.General Butler testified to the MacCormack-Dickstein Committee that when he asked whether anything was “stirring” with regards to Jerry MacGuire’s wealthy backers’ plans for a “superorganization” to coordinate the coup against FDR, MacGuire predicted the American Liberty League’s emergence, saying: “Yes, you watch; in two or three weeks you will see it come out in the paper. There will be big fellows in it. This is to be the background of it.”Jules Archer, in The Plot to Seize the White House (1976), said the “link between the conspiracy and the powerful interests…in the background” was “the most significant” part of Butler’s testimony. However, MacGuire’s foreknowledge of the League and its links to the fascist plot were deleted from the Committee’s published report.Archer notes that Butler was “stunned” and “genuinely alarmed” upon reading of the League’s formation:"For the first time it dawned upon him that if the American Liberty League was the ‘superorganization’ behind the plot, [as] it seemed to be, the country’s freedom was in genuine peril. Such money and power as the men behind the League possessed could easily mobilize a thinly-disguised Fascist army from the ranks of jobless, embittered veterans and do what Mussolini had done in Italy with the financial support of the Italian plutocracy MacGuire had outlined...the conspirators’ plans for a putsch [coup], indicating it would easily succeed...because …the American Liberty League, was behind it with money and arms MacGuire revealed that the people behind him... could... raise $300 million for the putsch."On January 23, 1936, Senator Schwellenbach denounced all the “rascals and crooks who control the American Liberty League.” Senator Robert La Follette, Jr., said it cannot “be expected to defend the liberty of the masses of the American people. It speaks for the vested interests.”The League, funded by Wall Street’s leading fascists, received $500,000 during its first year alone. So much of this money came from the du Ponts that U.S. Postmaster General, Jim Farley, called it the “American Cellophane League” because, he said, it was a du Pont product that you could see right through. The du Ponts – through their control of the Remington Arms Co. – were also prepared to provide weapons for the Croix de feu-like veterans’ organization that the conspirators wanted Butler to lead as part of their plan to overthrow the government.With a staff of 50 in their 31-room, New York City headquarters, the League was FDR’s most formidable foe. It launched chapters at 26 colleges and universities and spawned 15 front groups across the country to spread anti-labour, anti-communist and anti-Semitic hatred. The League distributed 50 million copies of extremely right-wing, often blatantly fascistic, pamphlets. It bankrolled a speakers’ bureau,

(see corrections in red text) JFK and SamThe Connection Between the Giancana and Kennedy AssassinationsBy Antoinette Giancana, John R. Hughes, DM(Oxon.), M.D., Ph.D., and Thomas H. Jobe, M.D.Who can hear the words "grassy knoll" or "Texas School Book Depository" without a shudder of horror? Who can forget that one minute the handsome, smiling president was waving to the crowds, and the next minute his wife was bravely trying to hold his shattered head together? The story of what happened on that day is very poignant for Antoinette Giancana. Her father, Sam Giancana, ordered the assassination of President Kennedy. (Disagreed, he helped carry it out, we do not know who ordered it)JFK and Sam is a tale of two murders. The first occurred in Dallas on November 22, 1963. The second occurred in Oak Park, Illinois, on the evening of June 19, 1975. The first was ordered by Sam Giancana to avenge his betrayal by the Kennedys. Giancana had assured JFK's win in Illinois with the understanding that the new administration would go easy on the Chicago mob. Instead, Bobby Kennedy stepped up prosecutions. The second assassination was carried out by the CIA and the mob to prevent Giancana from testifying before the Church Committee hearings regarding his role in the CIA's plot to kill Fidel Castro. The irony is that both men—John Kennedy and Sam Giancana—were assassinated because of their relationship to each other and events that transpired from that relationship.JFK and Sam is unique from other books on the Kennedy assassination. Written by an insider with access to key figures, it names the assassins and traces the assassination team's movements on November 22, 1963, and discusses the team leader's life, (Files was NOT the team leader, he was just a rookie) his taped confession, and his face-to-face meeting with Antoinette in the Joliet state prison where he is serving a life sentence for killing a policeman.(Files did NOT kill a policeman, Files did not fire a shot, his partner did, in self defense, the cop survived, his name is Dave Ostertag and the truth is that HE tried to kill Files. Please have this corrected)The first shot came from the Dal-Tex building (adjacent to the book depository) and struck Kennedy in the back of the neck. The second came from Giancana's driver (No no no, Files was Nicoletti's driver) who fired a CIA prototype handgun with a telescope (called a "fireball") from the grassy knoll, using a frangible bullet, which explains why there was such a massive wound to Kennedy's head. Lee Harvey Oswald was the fall guy and did not fire a weapon.Coauthors John Hughes and Thomas H. Jobe—experts in neurophysiology, neurology, and neuropsychiatry—also provide expert analysis that show what could not have happened in Dallas on November 22, 1963, as well as what did happen. Because of the nature of President Kennedy's injuries and his reaction to the bullets, Hughes and Jobe provide a medical basis that supports the story told by the assassin of the president of the United States.ANTOINETTE GIANCANA is the daughter of Mafia chief Sam Giancana, who controlled Chicago in the late 1950s and 1960s. She is the author of Mafia Princess, which was made into a movie with the same title featuring Tony Curtis and Susan Lucci.JOHN HUGHES is the director of clinical neurophysiology and professor of neurology at the University of Illinois Medical Center in Chicago. He is the author of six books and more than five hundred scientific articles about the brain and its functions.THOMAS H.

WorldSpace holds $1.5 billion in IOUs to the Saudis. In fact, Saudis once owned 86 percent of the international satellite network, that, among other media, transmits XM Radio. Raytheon, the contractor for the Mobile Enhanced Situational Awareness Network (MESA), will use XM Radio satellites for North American coverage and WorldSpace birds for global coverage extending to Africa, Latin America, Europe, and Asia. The satellites will be used to coordinate military and emergency personnel in emergency situations. According to Israeli intelligence sources, Israel was once concerned that up until the time that WorldSpace's Saudi financiers were paid off to sever their connections with the firm, Al Qaeda-linked and Wahhabi-funded religious groups might have used the global satellite network to broadcast terrorist coordination messages and propaganda to their worldwide supporters. Read the Boston

Here may be one way.These folks may be looking to disgust enough of us here and round the world of war and the United States. (Maybe even "Democracy.") ... and then proffer a "peace pill" from ... China.The secret societies are the major black-market traffickers, making money and creating structure in both the Orient and Occident.As "they" are "solidifying" their presence here so have they been solidifying their presence in China.Psst! ... follow the money.And China's families are primarily one-child units. The sociological ramifications are immense.It makes "control" so much easier.Do you remember the movie Rollerball?

Hmm, ... gee, that sounds familiar ...The road to one future is being paved by Wal-Mart.Here may be some groundwork being laid down for a plutocratic synarchical scenario of the secret societies "ruling" through the Chinese. This presentation is by Fareed Zakaria, member of the secret society Order of Scroll  Key. the Editor of Newsweek International, has a show on PBS called Foreign Exchange, appears regularly on ABC's This Week and was managing editor of the Council on Foreign Relations' magazine Foreign Affairs from 1992 to 2000.From: http://foreignexchange.tv/?q=node/405PHPSESSID=84085901c8446a9c38b5699921dc80aeor you may view the interview at: http://foreignexchange.tv/?q=node/419IN DEPTH: Wu JianminFareed Zakaria: As China grows economically, some in the United States have begun talking about a strategic rivalry between China and the US. At a recent conference in Singapore, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld accused China of masking its military build-up and threatening Asian security by the positioning of hundreds of missile facing Taiwan.Chinese Diplomats and its ruling elites are very cautious about discussing these kinds of issues on the record. But when I was in China recently I was able to sit down with one of its senior most members of the foreign service--Ambassador Wu Jianmin, and do just that.* * *Fareed Zakaria: President Wu, when we were talking privately you mentioned to me that you saw the cover of Newsweek which says China’s Century or the Chinese Century and you looked at it and you said I get frightened when I see something like that. What did you mean?Jianmin: Yes; in the first I asked my--myself what does it mean--China Century? When people say this what does it mean…? China is going to dominate; no, the Chinese are not interested in domination. In the [Inaudible] the important part of [Dong Xiaoping’s] legacy for--for Chinese is don’t--do not seek hegemony. Do not seek Dong(nation) is first point. Second, you mean China would be the--the leading country in the world? Yes; China is growing very rapidly but last year our GDPs were only 1.6 trillion US dollars. GDPs of the US is eight times China’s. Then in terms of the per capita GDP, China is very low. I think US per capita GDPs is 30 or 40 times China. We have a long way to go. Then you know we have the Chinese saying which goes like--like this--When you reach top you feel lonely and cold. [Laughs] We Chinese, we like to share. [Laughs]Fareed Zakaria: And this is of course part of what has been called China’s Peaceful Rise Doctrine?Jianmin: Right.Fareed Zakaria: But how is it possible for a country this big to grow as fast as it is, to have the kind of size that--that you have, the impact on the global economy and for them not to be ripple effects? I mean you’re now the second or third largest consumer of almost every commodity in the world--oil, natural gas. Isn’t this going to shake things up?Jianmin: Yes; we are going to shake things--true, but there are two ways to--to do it. One is--our first is by force; second in a peaceful way. We Chinese, we like to take it the second--the second approach. Why? For two reasons; first the world is changing. Fifty-four--fifty-five years ago when things went wrong in your country, we Chinese were happy because we--we fought each other in Korea. Thirty years ago, whatever happened to--to US economy it did not have any impact on China. But today, if things go wrong, yeah I mean if your economy is in bad shape, we are sorry about that.

The new office would be part of the FBI, but Negroponte would have authority over its budget and priorities, a move intended to reduce barriers between domestic and foreign intelligence gathering. Civil-liberties advocates blasted the changes at the FBI, saying they represent a radical step toward creation of a secret-police force in the United States. Given Negroponte¡¦s background, it¡¦s a disturbing prospect. [Posted By Gregoire] By Shannon McCaffrey, Knight-RidderRepublished from Common Dreams The nation's new intelligence czar, John Negroponte, will oversee domestic spying unit.   WASHINGTON ¡V A White House plan to create a massive new domestic intelligence division within the FBI raised concerns on Wednesday among civil liberties advocates who feared it could lead to a return to the bureau¡¦s dark days of spying on Americans.The nation¡¦s new intelligence czar, John Negroponte, will have a say over the budget of the new FBI national security section and will help select an official to oversee it. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales said at a news conference Wednesday that agents working in the new division would continue to report to FBI Director Robert Mueller and to respect ¡§the privacy rights and civil liberties of all Americans.¡¨But Timothy Edgar, national security policy counsel of the American Civil Liberties Union, said giving the nation¡¦s spy chief power over the FBI was worrisome.While FBI agents are bound by the nation¡¦s Constitution, he said, spies operate abroad with fewer constraints. ¡§What we could see is the spies in charge of the cops,¡¨ Edgar said.¡§You have a DNI (director of national intelligence) who is in charge of mostly secret foreign intelligence and now is also in law enforcement. So does that mean we have a secret police? Our concern is we could be going down that road.¡¨Justice Department officials said they¡¦d retain control over FBI agents¡¦ day-to-day operations but that key details still need to be worked out. Negroponte¡¦s deputy, Gen. Michael V. Hayden, said Wednesday that the national security service ¡§is not something we¡¦ve done before as a nation.¡¨But, Hayden said, after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, the nation came to a ¡§collective judgment¡¨ that it could no longer afford the long-standing walls between foreign and domestic intelligence gathering. Allowing an outsider to help select a powerful post overseeing a massive chunk of the FBI¡¦s manpower is seen as a dramatic step at the bureau, which has guarded its turf over the years. But the FBI has been left vulnerable by a series of withering reports that assessed the bureau¡¦s missteps leading up to the Sept. 11 attacks.The changes at the FBI were part of a larger package of reforms recommended by a presidential commission investigating intelligence failures leading up to the war in Iraq. The White House on Wednesday accepted 70 of the panel¡¦s 74 recommendations, including the creation of a National Counter-Proliferation Center to combat the spread of weapons of mass destruction and the appointment of an individual to oversee all human intelligence gathering, while keeping the CIA¡¦s clandestine service, the Directorate of Operations, intact. White House Homeland Security Adviser Frances Townsend said Wednesday that she believed the reforms would result in a ¡§fundamental strengthening¡¨ of the nation¡¦s intelligence-gathering capabilities.Under longtime director J. Edgar Hoover, the FBI became notorious for spying on Americans such as Martin Luther King Jr., political dissidents and suspected communists. The Hoover years led to changes in the nation¡¦s intelligence-gathering laws.Knight Ridder Newspapers correspondent Warren P.

So in order to gain support for this madness against his slipping polls Bush tried again and again to use 911 for political gain. I know, politicians using someone else's tragedy to sway the mob is hardly news!   Bush like other Junta members is fond of saying we're in a never ending war against terror. It truly is a perpetual motion machine; however I can see it's end. Of course like Moses or some other cartoon character I won't live long enough to see this war's end and neither will you! We're in this one to stay and in Iraq as long as the oil flows and at current rates that's about 100 years. In order to do this in Iraq and Afghanistan and in all the other countries where they have brown skinned people and oil we'll need a reason and of course that reason is oil; oops wait a minute, I don't know what came over me, the reason is terrorism. It's better to fight those taxi drivers, school teachers, students, blue collar workers, mom and pop terrorist by all that lovely oil (which by the way is above $60 dollars a barrel, what, you thought an oil man was going to lower prices?) than here in America, right?  Have no fear about running out of terrorist folks, like any good perpetual motion machine this one cranks out terrorist at an alarming rate. Every time we bomb some Mosque or hospital. Slaughter some innocent family on the highway, break down the door at three a.m. handcuff and abuse the women and children while rounding up all the males (including children) to disappear in some American Concentration Camp oops American Happy Camp(tm) we make new enemies by the thousands. With all that lovely oil out there to steal and over 1 billion Muslims as the enemy this war on terror shouldn't last much more than the French/English 100 years war of the 14th and 15th centuries CE. We'd only have to kill slightly more than all the people who died in every year of W.W.II i.e. 10 to 11 million so our Muslim enemies should see us through until the oil, gas and other natural resources run out in about 100 years!

It is of particular significance that it is being held here in Turkey where the United States used Turkish air bases to launch numerous bombing missions to degrade Iraq's defenses before the March 2003 invasion and has sought and continues to seek political support from the Turkish government, which it regards as an ally. All this was done in the face of enormous popular opposition by the Turkish people. As a spokesperson for the jury of conscience, it would make me uneasy if I did not mention that the government of India is also, like the government of Turkey, positioning itself as a ally of the United States in its economic policies and the so-called War on Terror.        The testimonies at the previous sessions of the World Tribunal on Iraq in Brussels and New York have demonstrated that even those of us who have tried to follow the war in Iraq closely are not aware of a fraction of the horrors that have been unleashed in Iraq.        The Jury of Conscience at this tribunal is not here to deliver a simple verdict of guilty or not guilty against the United States and its allies. We are here to examine a vast spectrum of evidence about the motivations and consequences of the US invasion and occupation, evidence that has been deliberately marginalized or suppressed.

I had watched the rise of the neoconservatives in the 1980s and the consolidation of conservative media power in the 1990s. It was painfully clear that the nation was headed for a Great Baiting, not a Great Debate.        There should have been no doubt what would happen to anyone who questioned George W. Bush's case for war. The dissenters would be baited, ridiculed, marginalized, and drowned out by accusations of disloyalty as well as epithets about "Saddam sympathizers."        Which is, of course, what happened. War critics were treated like fringe nut cases, while nearly every major Washington pundit fell for the Bush administration's deceptions about Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction. Just look at the editorial pages on Feb. 6, 2003, the day after Secretary of State Colin Powell's speech to the United Nations.        Now, amid the rising death toll in Iraq, a hopeful new line from some pundits is that the nation is on the cusp of a serious debate about the war's future - as Bush finally levels with the American people, regains their trust and enlists them in the sacrifices ahead.        In one of these columns, published by the Washington Post, The New Republic's editor Peter Beinart observed that "a plurality of Americans now believe they were 'deliberately misled' before the war. When the president talks to the country about Iraq on Tuesday night, he needs to address that.        "Otherwise, he'll never have the credibility to tell Americans the harsh truth: that Iraqi troops won't be ready to defend their government for two years or more. And until they can, brave young U.S. soldiers will have to keep doing the job." [Washington Post, June 26, 2005]        No Exit    Of course, Beinart, like other leading pundits, rules out any substantive debate about withdrawing U.S. forces from Iraq. He calls that suggestion "breathtakingly irresponsible." So, presumably, the only permissible outcome of this latest Great Debate must be a consensus to "stay the course" and make Bush's Iraq policy succeed.        But even that truncated debate, with Bush leveling with the American people, surely will not happen.        Does anyone believe that Bush will "address" how he "deliberately misled" the country to war? Or that if he did so, that would somehow earn him the credibility to explain how thousands of additional U.S. soldiers must die in Iraq because Bush and his advisers can't think of a way out of the mess?        Rather, Bush has already signaled how he intends to deal with the growing doubts about both his pre-war rationalizations and his foundering war policy. The American people can expect another round of baiting, not debating.        That was the significance of Bush's unleashing his deputy chief of staff Karl Rove to mock "liberals" for supposedly demonstrating a cowardly naivety in the face of the Sept. 11 terror attacks.        "Conservatives saw the savagery of 9/11 in the attacks and prepared for war; liberals saw the savagery of the 9/11 attacks and wanted to prepare indictments and offer therapy and understanding for our attackers," Rove said in a speech to the Conservative Party of New York State on June 22, 2005.        "I don't know about you, but moderation and restraint is not what I felt when I watched the Twin Towers crumble to the ground, a side of the Pentagon destroyed, and almost 3,000 of our fellow citizens perish in flames and rubble," Rove said.     Demonizing Durbin    More-http://issuesandalibis.org/         Click to join catapultthepropaganda    http://groups.yahoo.com/group/catapultthepropaganda/join __Do You Yahoo!?Tired of spam?

Some old guy in front of me was picking up his little paper bag of prescription medicine. The lady behind the counter handed him a credit card slip and said, "I'm sorry."   She was sorry because the bill was over $1,200. The old man stared at the charge card receipt and stared at it some more. Hesitating, he signed, then said, "I hope I die before I have to pay for the next re-fill."   He wasn't joking. The lady behind the counter said, "Oh, don't ever say that." And she said it in such a way that it was clear she'd heard the same thought before, in different words, from too many of the old folk that come by.   And I was thinking, "I wonder if he voted for Bush?"   I mean, did he vote for the man who would stop boys from kissing boys, who would allow big stone icons of the Ten Commandments in the Podunk courthouse, who would get Saddam before he got us? In other words, was he a blind soldier in Karl Rove's army of the angry who would rather vote against themselves, for deadly high drug prices dictated by Big Pharma, for no national health insurance, in return for a promise from George Bush that he will be the malicious defender of their prejudices?   The polls tell us that Americans are in an ugly mood: too many jobs leaving for China, too many body bags returning from Iraq, and a bad feeling about a President grabbing for grandma's social security check.   America is hurting.

I think for myself.   I am not "you liberals" or "you people on the left who always ..." My name is Molly Ivins, and I can speak for myself, thank you. I don't need Rush Limbaugh or Karl Rove to tell me what I believe.   Setting up a straw man, calling it liberal and then knocking it down has become a favorite form of "argument" for those on the right. Make some ridiculous claim about what "liberals" think, and then demonstrate how silly it is.   Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly and many other right-wing ravers never seem to get tired of this old game. If I had a nickel for every idiotic thing I've ever heard those on the right claim "liberals" believe, I'd be richer than Bill Gates.   The latest and most idiotic statement yet comes from Karl Rove, who is not, actually, an objective observer. He is George Bush's hatchet man. Last week, Rove, in an address to the Conservative Party of New York, made the following claim: "Conservatives saw the savagery of 9-11 in the attacks and prepared for war; liberals saw the savagery of the 9-11 attacks and wanted to prepare indictments and offer therapy and understanding for our attackers."   This seemed to the editorial writers at the San Diego Union-Tribune such a reasonable summary of the liberal position they couldn't figure out why Democrats were "hyperventilating" and getting "bent out of shape."   "What is harder to understand is how Democrats can think they can have it both ways," they wrote. "Even as they beat their chests and profess support for military action, they can't help but criticize the military and do everything they can to undermine the war effort."   What a deep mystery. Let's see if we can help the San Diego thinkers solve it. On Sept. 14, 2001, Congress approved a resolution authorizing the president to take military action. The vote in the Senate was 98 to zero; the vote in the House was 420 to one. The lone dissenter was Democrat Barbara Lee of California, who expressed qualms about an open-ended war without a clear target.   Find me the offer for therapy and understanding in that vote. Anyone remember what actually happened after 9-11? Unprecedented unity, support across the board, joint statements by Democratic and Republican political leaders. The whole world was with us. The most important newspaper in France headlined, "We Are All Americans Now," and all our allies sent troops and money to help. That is what George Bush has pissed away with his war in Iraq.   The vote on invading Iraq was 77 to 23 in the Senate and 296 to 133 in the House. By that time, some liberals did question the wisdom of invasion because: A) Iraq had nothing to do with 9-11 and B) it looked increasingly unlikely that Iraq actually had great stores of weapons of mass destruction, since the United Nations inspectors, who were on the ground, couldn't find any sign of them -- even though Donald Rumsfeld claimed we knew exactly where they were.   Since my name is Molly Ivins and I speak for myself, I'll tell you exactly why I opposed invading Iraq: because I thought it would be bad for this country, our country, my country. I opposed the invasion out of patriotism, and that is the reason I continue to oppose it today -- I think it is bad for us. I think it has done nothing but harm to the United States of America. I think we have created more terrorists than we faced to start with and that our good name has been sullied all over the world. I think we have alienated our allies and have killed more Iraqis than Saddam Hussein ever did.   I did not oppose the war because I like Saddam Hussein. I have been active in human rights work for 30 years, and I told you he was a miserable s.o.b. back in the '80s, when our government was sending him arms.   I did not oppose the war because I am soft on terrorists or didn't want to get Osama bin Laden. To the contrary, I thought it would be much more useful to get bin Laden than to invade Iraq -- which, once again, had nothing to do with 9-11. I believe the case now stands proved that this administration used 9-11 as a handy excuse to invade Iraq, which it already wanted to do for other reasons.   It is one thing for a political knife-fighter like Karl Rove to impugn the patriotism of people who disagree with him: We have seen this same crappy tactic before, just

Further, he claims the Bush administration is turning a blind eye and condoning the illegal activity of Victor Bout, a well-known Russian arms dealer.July 1, 2005  By Greg Szymanski  Not far from the White House, a man sits alone in a makeshift office, writing stories and covering the dirty side of Bush family politics. It¡¦s a lonely, thankless job, a job most people wouldn¡¦t touch with a ten-foot pole, especially in today¡¦s oppressive political climate.  But free lance writer and author Wayne Madsen likes news to be "down and dirty, " likes pushing political dirt aside in an attempt to get at the truth.  He can¡¦t work for the mainstream media anymore since anything close to bringing down the neo con stranglehold on Washington is taboo in papers like the Washington Post and New York Times.  So he punches out stories on the Internet, primarily at www.waynemadsenreport.com and looks for alternative publications or foreign papers not afraid to uncover "dirt" and take on the powerful Bush family name.  And in a town where major newspapers simply ignore President Bush¡¦s dark side, Madsen has more than enough shoveling to do every day but very few places to unload it.  In a healthy country where diverse views are accepted and freedom of speech honored, Madsen¡¦s story wouldn¡¦t even be a story. But in a "Bush America" where a strange evangelical stranglehold has silenced critical thinking and writing, a spotlight now shines on his solitary literary story, serving as a stark example just how far down the fascist road we¡¦ve traveled in such a short time.  After trying unsuccessfully to sell stories about 9/11 and other assorted neo con scandals and having lost a book publisher through intimidation by Bush political operatives, Madsen didn¡¦t quit or turn in his computer station into the local Gestapo unit.  He simply regrouped his journalistic forces, created his small "news shop" along side the big boys and set out on a personal mission, a mission dedicated to the old muck racking journalists like Drew Pearson and Jack Anderson, writers of the old and scandalous Washington Merry-Go-Round column  Madsen said these types of journalists, who made a living at digging dirt up on politicians and had a place to print it, have become dinosaurs since major news outlets seem to be protecting politicians instead of actively exposing their misdeeds.  And he claims papers like The Post, The Times and others have turned into nothing more than a government mouthpiece, slapping Bush on the hand every now and again but never giving him the body blows he truly deserves.  How can major newspapers remain oblivious to the glaring truth about a flawed government story about 9/11? How can they basically give the Bush family a free ride when it comes to their suspicious involvement with the bin Ladens and many other multi-national corporations and defense contractors cheating the American people?  How can papers ignore the illegal nature of the Iraqi war and ignore clear evidence showing Bush doctored WMD intelligence reports to justify the invasion? How can they continue to ignore mounting evidence that Bush stole the 2004 election by his operatives tampering with computers?  "It¡¦s easy," said Madsen in a telephone conversation from Washington D.C.

HATFILL, M.D. v. ATTORNEY GENERAL JOHN ASHCROFT, THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE; THE FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION (et al).Headed by former federal prosecutor Tom Connelly, pro bono attorney's for Dr. Steven J. Hatfill, the former "person of interest" in the anthrax letters case, have been quietly doing battle behind the scenes with attorney's for the US Justice Department, in the United States District Court for The District of Columbia. BACKGROUNDDr. Steven Hatfill's life was publically dismantled, rendering him persona non grata when John Ashcroft, the former United States Attorney General, labeled Hatfill "a person of interest" in the still unsolved anthrax case. Alleged leaks from the FBI to the news media created a macabre media blitz wherein the news hungry press was culpable, if not instrumental, in perpetuating the tortuous ordeal Dr. Hatfill, who has never been charged with a crime, was forced to endure. He became a pariah, lost his job, is unemployable and reportedly destitute.The FBI shadowed Hatfill to the extent that a state of virtual house arrest existed. At one point, on one of the rare occasions Hatfill left his besieged apartment, one of Hatfill's keepers ran over his foot with an SUV. Ironically, it was Hatfill who received a citation a fine over the incident.The FBI leaks, first appearing in Newsweek and amplified by ABC's Brian Ross, appeared to be uniquely designed to draw public interest. Newsweek's Mark Miller and Daniel Klaidman reported in "The Hunt for the Anthrax Killer", in remarkable detail, how, using bloodhounds that had been given "scent packs" from decontaminated anthrax letters to sniff, "went crazy" upon approaching Hatfill"s apartment:"The dogs, purebred bloodhounds with noses a thousand times more sensitive than a human¡¯s, were barking and howling and straining at their leashes. Early last week FBI agents on the trail of last year¡¯s anthrax attacker turned to a 16th-century technology to help solve a 21st-century crime.AGENTS PRESENTED the canines with scent packs lifted from anthrax-tainted letters mailed to Sens. Tom Daschle and Patrick Leahy (long since decontaminated), hoping some faint, telltale trace of the perpetrator¡¯s smell still remained months after the fact. The agents quietly brought the dogs to various locations frequented by a dozen people they considered possible suspects -- hoping the hounds would match the scent on the letters. In place after place, the dogs had no reaction. But when the handlers approached the Frederick, Md., apartment building of Dr. Steven J. Hatfill, an eccentric 48-year-old scientist who had worked in one of the Army's top bioweapons-research laboratories, the dogs immediately became agitated, NEWSWEEK has learned. "They went crazy," says one law-enforcement source. The agents also brought the bloodhounds to the Washington, D.C., apartment of Hatfill¡¯s girlfriend and to a Denny¡¯s restaurant in Louisiana, where Hatfill had eaten the day before. In both places, the dogs jumped and barked, indicating they'd picked up the scent. (Bloodhounds are the only dogs whose powers of smell are admissible in court.) " Newsweek reported.No shrinking violet, Hatfill went public pleading his case: "I love my country, I had nothing to do with the anthrax letters and it is terribly wrong for anyone to contend or think otherwise." In a statement at an Accuracy in Media conference, Hatfill noted "They brought this good-looking dog in. I mean, this was the best-fed dog I have seen in a long time. They brought him in and he walked around the room. By the way, I could have left at anytime but I volunteered while they were raiding my apartment the second time, I volunteered to talk with them. The dog came around and I petted him. And the dog walked out. So animals like me"... [complete article here: http://www.sianews.com/modules.php?name=Newsfile=articlesid=2531]-Yahoo! Mail Mobile Take Yahoo! Mail with you!

I call it "The Octopus" or "the big enchilada".Read at your own risk:  The Octopus  "The death of a journalist in West Virginia, plus the jailing of an alleged CIA computer consultant in Washington State may be elements of a much wider scandal that could have serious implications... "What started out as an investigation of an apparent case of pirated software has grown to be a project involving hundreds of journalists all over the world. "The dead journalist, Joseph Daniel 'Danny' Casolaro was found dead August 10th in a motel room in West Virginia. His wrists were slashed seven times on each wrist and a suicide note was found nearby. The only manuscript of his book, with accompanying notes, WAS MISSING.  "The book, provisionally titled 'The Octopus', was meant to be an explosive expose of misdeeds by the Justice Department under the Reagan administration. Time Magazine also reported that Casolaro's research centered on gambling and attempted arms deals at the Cabazon reservation near Indio, California. "Indeed, the scope of Casolaro's investigation was so large that any one of a large number of areas of research could have been the trigger for a possible hit.  "While authorities declared his death a suicide, his relatives definitely stated that Casolaro's mental state was sound, indeed upbeat, after the completion of his book. "Casolaro started his work nearly two years before, investigating the bankrupting of a small computer software company called Inslaw, allegedly by the U.S. Justice Department. INSLAW, a company headed by Bill and Nancy Hamilton of Washington D.C., (no connection to researcher Bill Hamilton, whose writings on the Dulce enigma appear later in this volume. - Branton) had developed a package known as PROMIS -- short for Prosecutor's Management Information System -- to act as a case management tool for the Justice Department's unwieldy work load.  "Inslaw President Bill Hamilton has claimed that Ed Meese associate EARL BRIAN was given control of pirated versions of the PROMIS software by Meese to sell back to different U.S. government agencies for great profit. Two courts have so far agreed with Hamilton, awarding an 8 million dollar judgment, but a higher ('Justice Dept.'? - Branton) court of appeal has quashed the award and the verdict, declaring that it was not the jurisdiction of the lower courts. As of October 9, the case has moved into the realm of the Supreme Court.  "EARL BRIAN OWNS UNITED PRESS INTERNATIONAL [UPI] and FINANCIAL NEWS NETWORK [FNN]. "According to a Washington man, who claims to have modified the COBOL-based software for the CIA and other intelligence agencies, the software was a reward for Earl Brian's role in arranging the so-called 'October Surprise' gambit, the alleged conspiracy to withhold the American hostages in Iran until after the 1980 election which saw Carter removed from power. The 'October Surprise' scandal has taken some time to emerge.  "In a Paris meeting, President Bush is alleged to have met with Ali Akabar Hashemi Rafsanjani, the speaker of the Iranian Parliament, Mohammed Ali Rajai, the future President of Iran and Manucher Ghorbanifar, an Iranian arms dealer with connections to Mossad, according to Navy Captain Gunther Russbacher who claims to have flown Bush, William Casey -- the CIA chief -- and Donald Gregg, a CIA operative to that location. Russbacher, who made these allegations in May is now in jail on Terminal Island, convicted on the charge of impersonating a U.S. Attorney. (Note: Russbacher 'defected' from the CIA with 12 Navy Seals under his command, and was on at least two occasions the target of attempted CIA hits. The would-be assassins attempted to drive Gunther and his wife off of roads and down the side-cliffs to their deaths, however according to Russbacher his SEAL-team agents who were watching over him unbeknownst to the

But, as the story goes, Duke had that one off for repairs somewhere. And thus his current (or until last week current) stay on the Duke Stir. (About ten days ago, we told you that it seemed she was down in Alabama since her current registration lists Mobile as her current hailing port.)Well, seems it's a tad more complicated than that. Apparently Duke sold the Kelly C to a Long Island real estate developer named Thomas T. Kontogiannis back in 2002 for $600,000. Kontogiannis then spent about a $100,000 refurbishing Duke's boat. And for the last year or so he's been using it for dock parties on Long Island since the boat doesn't do so well in rough seas. But having poured $100k into the thing, Kontogiannis wasn't so sure he really wanted the Kelly C after all. So just before the house scandal broke last month, he was going to sell it back to Duke. (Apparently the unfortunate press attention has now scotched the deal.)Now, you might imagine this would lead to all sorts of complications since Duke's old yacht would have be re-renamed and re-re-registered and so forth. But no so! Kontogiannis never got the boat renamed or registered. In fact Duke was so confident that he'd soon be buying the Kelly C back that earlier this year he'd already gone ahead and registered it in his name -- despite Kontogiannis's owning it -- using the address of the new home he bought at Rancho Sante Fe.Now, about that home Duke bought.There's always been a bit of a question where Duke scraped up the money to buy the thing. Public records suggest he paid cash. But even with the $1.675 million Mitch Wade gave him for the old house he was still almost a million short. So where'd the extra money come in?According to the Post, Duke "asked if a mortgage company owned by Kontogiannis's nephew and daughter could finance $1.1 million in mortgages ... Kontogiannis said he recently paid off a $500,000 second mortgage on the Rancho Santa Fe home at the congressman's request, mostly with money he owed Cunningham for the yacht."From here it gets so complicated I'm just going to have to quote from the Post at length ...Kontogiannis said he went to a party on the Kelly C around 1995, when it was owned by another congressman, and liked the steel-hull craft. After Cunningham bought it 1997, for a reported $200,000, Kontogiannis said he told the congressman: "If you ever decide to sell it, I'd love to buy it." Cunningham "called and asked if I was still interested" in buying the boat, Kontogiannis said. He did so, he said, after getting the boat appraised at $1.2 million. The developer said he financed the transaction by giving the congressman about $30,000, assuming the payments on an existing $140,000 bank loan and financing the remaining $425,000 as a personal note that accumulated interest at the prime rate. He said a family company, Axxion LLC, made the payments on the bank loan.The congressman approached him again in 2003 when Cunningham planned to buy the Rancho Santa Fe home, Kontogiannis said. The congressman asked if Coastal Capital, the company the developer said is owned by his nephew and daughter, could finance the mortgage at its wholesale price, which had a slightly lower interest rate than retail mortgage lenders. The decision was "a slam dunk," Kontogiannis said, because the house had been appraised at $2.55 million.Kontogiannis said Cunningham asked him last year to pay back the Kelly C loan, which was accruing interest at about 3 1/2 percent, by paying off the second mortgage on the house. Interest on the congressman's loan was accruing at 10 percent, though Cunningham wasn't making payments, he said.The developer paid off the mortgage, he said, after Cunningham wrote him a check for $70,000 to make up the difference between what he owed on the boat and what Cunningham owed on the second mortgage.That all sounds pretty above board, doesn't it?Okay, let's get started here. Duke bought the Kelly C for $200,000. Five years later Kontogiannis gets it appraised for $1.2 million. Which prompts the question: Does Elizabeth Todd do boat work too? And if not, who was the fool who sold Duke the boat for a million dollars under value? So Duke buys the boat in 1997 for $200,000 and, presumably because it's a collectible, five years

One paragraph caught my eye:"Mylroie has also recently taken on the role of defender of Ahmed Chalabi,the head of the Iraqi National Congress, who is accused of providingfraudulent information about Iraq's WMD programme and passing intelligenceto Iran. In May, in the conservative newspaper the New York Sun, Mylroiedescribed Chalabi as the victim of a 'longstanding grudge' by the CIA."The fact that they are fighting the CIA has been a long-standing theme ofthe neocons. The battle between the Bush Administration and the CIA reachedits peak when the CIA was officially excluded from National Security Councilmeetings, a mighty strange decision when you think about it.Which leads me to three questions about the Plame Game:Why did Judith Miller discuss the matter with someone in the White House,and then not write about it?How does Novak continue to slide through this mess without facing any legalproblems?Why would the White House attempt to get revenge on Wilson by the ratherclumsy, and potentially dangerous, dirty trick of outing Plame?Possible answers:From an article in the Washington Post:"Sources close to the investigation say there is evidence in some instancesthat some reporters may have told government officials - not the other wayaround - that Wilson was married to Plame, a CIA employee."and:"It is a felony to knowingly identify a covert CIA operative. But lawyersfor some media say they believe Fitzgerald has no evidence that a governmentofficial committed that crime."The theory would be that somebody in the White House was complaining toMiller about the fact that Wilson had embarrassed the White House by raisingthe Niger matter after the attack on Iraq, and by chance, due to herknowledge of the proliferation beat, Miller then disclosed to this WhiteHouse official that Wilson was married to an undercover CIA proliferationexpert named Plame. The crime in question can only apply to someone "havingor having had authorized access to classified information that identifies acovert agent", so Miller's gossip, not being 'authorized access', would notbe enough to fit under the statute. It is a nice question whether you canfall back under the statute if you use the gossip to then seek out the kindof 'authorized access' referred to in the statute, but Fitzgerald probablydoesn't want to press the point. If Fitzgerald lacks the basis for aprosecution under the statute, he'd have to be going after somebody forperjury (or even treason), and the vehemence with which he is attackingMiller suggests that he really needs Miller's evidence to back up Cooper'sevidence in making a perjury charge. Cooper's source gave Cooper a specificwaiver to keep Cooper out of jail, something the source could afford to doas long as Miller keeps quiet.The Novak question is answered if Novak is a CIA asset.Which leads to the final question. What if the White house was furious withthe CIA for setting them up on the Niger matter? After all, it was the CIAwhich picked Wilson for the job. It was the CIA which complained aboutBush's October 2002 speech and had reference to the Iraq-Niger connectionremoved, and it was the CIA which complained about the 2003 State of theUnion speech when the Niger claim mysteriously reappeared. However, the CIAhad seen a draft of the State of the Union speech and had said nothing aboutit. Then, at a time to cause maximum political embarrassment, after theattack on Iraq, Wilson raised the matter again. Is it little wonder that theparanoids in the White House saw this series of events as a CIA dirty trick?That explains the fact that the initial spin was that Plame herself hadsuggested Wilson. That is probably not true, but it is quite possible thatRove and the others believed it to be true, as part of a CIA plan toundermine the neocon case for an attack on Iraq. When that plan failed, thenext step was to use Wilson to embarrass the White House as part of theongoing war between the CIA and the neocons. Once the White House made itsbig mistake in going after the CIA through outing Plame, Novak's column,which covers all the elements of the criminal offence, represents the finalstage of the CIA attack. By going after Plame, the White House wasn't justattacking Wilson, but making it clear to the CIA that it would not hesitateto attack CIA undercover operations as part of the battle between theneocons and the White House. Looked at this way, what the White House didwas much closer to treason - intentional undermining of the 'war on terror'(which must fit into the

I usually delete said emails, as I don't want tobe responsible for propagating dirty rumors or false information that can'tbe corroborated. I'd rather let Judith Miller and the New York Times dothat. Nonetheless, in the past 24 hours I have been contacted by threeseparate Congressional Democrats in Washington, and a Justice Departmentofficial, first by email and later phone, who all say the same thing: KarlRove is about to be indicted.All this comes on the heels of events that transpired over the weekend, astwo different individuals, journalist Michael Isikoff and politicalcommentator Lawrence O'Donnell, both claimed that Karl Rove might have beenresponsible for leaking the identity of an undercover CIA officer's identityto Matthew Cooper of Time magazine. Isikoff claims that Cooper talked toRove during the period that Plame's identity was leaked, but there is stillno proof that Rove was the culprit. As Isikoff of Newsweek wrote on July 3:"The e-mails surrendered by Time Inc., which are largely between Cooper andhis editors, show that one of Cooper's sources was White House deputy chiefof staff Karl Rove, according to two lawyers who asked not to be identifiedbecause they are representing witnesses sympathetic to the White House.Cooper and a Time spokeswoman declined to comment. But in an interview withNewsweek, Rove's lawyer, Robert Luskin, confirmed that Rove had beeninterviewed by Cooper for the article."If it turns out that Rove did leak Plame to Cooper, it still does notnecessarily mean that he was also Robert Novak's inside guy, although itsurely raises suspicion. The indictment, as I am told, will most likely beof felony weight. In fact, Karl Rove may be accused of perjury, as Bush'stop strategist told a Grand Jury that he was not responsible for leakingPlame's identity to Time magazine.So the charge may not be for leaking top-secret information to the press,but for perjuring himself.Sources also all say that this indictment is likely to come down either latethis week or early next week. Of course Rove's lawyer denies that his clientever "knowingly" handed over classified information to the media, or is the"target" of any investigation. Perhaps Rove "unknowingly" did, and he's the"subject" rather than a "target" of an investigation. Time will tell.Apparently I'm not the only one who has been leaked this information either.Over at Redstate, a right-wing Internet blog, one member who calls himself"Ohsure," also claims "[four] Great sources confirmed" the matter, and lateradded:"I not only don't do this, I have never done this.But here it is;'Karl Rove will be indicted late this, or early next week.'I'm trusting a source. So either I am made a into an overzealous horses a**,or..., I have good sources and may be more trusted to get these thingsright."Over to you Mr. Fitzgerald.Joshua Frank is the author of the brand new book, Left Out!: How LiberalsHelped Reelect George W.

Israel Warned, Cover-up In Progresshttp://www.prisonplanet.com/Pages/Jul05/070705explosions_London.htmlPrisonplanet | July 07 2005BREAKING: Scrambled cover-up to try and change prior knowledge story.Original reports stated that Binyamin Netanyahu was warned BEFORE the first blast, now all the Associated Press reports are being changed to say he was warned AFTER the first blast, for example this article. The article linked below that we saved in our own format (and the website that carried it has strangely since crashed) said that Netanyahu was warned before the first blast.Israel are now denying they got a warning. BREAKING: Scotland Yard says it got a warning before the attack and told Israel. "The Israeli Embassy in London was notified in advance, resulting in Finance Minister Binyamin Netanyahu remaining in his hotel room rather than make his way to the hotel adjacent to the site of the first explosion, a Liverpool Street train station, where he was to address and economic summit."Full article here.The warning contradicts the fact that the original explanation of a power surge went out for an hour or more. They knew it was an attack but put out a false explanation. Plus why did Netanyahu get a warning and the victims didn't?We have been told that the events unfolding today were "inevitable", London's transport network has been hit with multiple explosions. Both the Underground and Buses have been hit. Events are still unfolding. We predicted this would happen over a year ago after analyzing the propaganda and fearmongering that was being ratcheted up to the extreme in London. Paul Joseph Watson has predicted these events as imminent several times on The Alex Jones Show in recent months.Tony Blair is not in London but safely tucked up in Scotland with 7 other World Leaders including President Bush. The political eyes of the world are on Britain this week. The Mayor of London Ken Livingstone is in Singapore where the IOC has just awarded the Olympic Games to London, he is rushing back to the city.Just like the events of 9/11, ask yourself, who stands to gain from this? Could this have been organized by any group other than one who has direct unlimited access to all areas of London's transport grid at all times? The similarities with the Madrid bombing of 3/11/04, which we have persistently highlighted as an inside intelligence operation, are stark with bombs on separate trains set off within minutes of each other as the trains neared the stations. The so called perpetrators were quickly linked to an "Al Qaeda" cell in Europe but later as we reported were linked to the Spanish Security service. They then mysteriously Killed themselves as this information was seeping out. It then became apparent that Spain's government was using the bombings for its own gains and many went to the streets in Spain to declare they knew that their own government was behind the attacks. Further Intelligence was withheld by the government, we expect the same will happen in Britain after today's attacks.This has MI5 written all over it. Just watch that national ID card legislation sail through. Only 15% of the country supported the government after the last election, this will ensure total fealty to a smarmy Blair and whatever he wants to do. Ken Livingstone and the opposition parties will now have no grounds to reject ID card legislation, especially with the Olympics coming to London in 2012.The police state measures they'll get out of this will be overlaid onto all forms of transport. In fact, you won't be able to travel without the ID card. Although MI5 operations are normally more sophisticated than things like 9/11, in that the evidence linking it to the government is more carefully covered, just watch for the evidence of inside involvement to trickle out. MI5 have been caught involved in IRA bombings multiple times over.Alex has said over and over that as attacks on different sections of the transportation grid occur they are going to have police state setup in the areas. Now it will be on the buses, subways etc. FLASHBACK: Schumer Wants Airport Screening Technology in MallsThe military-industrial complex has the motive in this latest atrocity. Every major western government, including the British, has been caught red-handed carrying out bombings against their own people and blaming it on external enemies. It is mainstream news in Spain that the government was involved in the 3/11 bombing. The London 7/7 bombings are nothing different. Government ghouls are now all over television spreading the fear to encourage the people to submit to the war on terror. Support our work, spread the word, expose who is gaining power from terrorism, or our freedoms will be lost.Hours after the attacks the media is still not

 An Illuminati Ordered 'Terrorist' Attack in London
 by Michael Shore, July 7, 2005 for rense.com
 (Posted here by Wes Penre, July 9, 2005)


 -

 Today is 7/ 7 2005 {2+5} or 777, a perfect day for the insane  
 Illuminati to do one of their dirty deeds(1). One thing the  
 Illuminati are into is rituals and numbers. The Illuminati like to  
 leave their secret markings on their crimes. Remember 911?



 Bush and Blair desperately needed some kind of new terrorist  
 attack because they were losing the support of their citizens for  
 the war in Iraq. The Downing Street Memo was a problem for both  
 Bush and Blair and was not going away. http:// 
 www.downingstreetmemo.com/.



 The G8 anti-poverty demonstrations were also a negative factor for  
 these two men and the other six G 8 members. So what better way to  
 divert the people's attention than to order up a terrorist  
 bombing in the U.K.



 All this may sound pretty unbelievable, but it's no different than  
 the Illuminati engineered 911 killing mass casualty producing  
 event, but on a much smaller scale.



 You have to watch the initial news reports which were purposely  
 confusing. After all if you control all the news media, you can  
 report just about anything you'd like to report for your benefit.  
 From the news reports, it sounded like there weren't as many deaths  
 as the Illuminati had expected. First there was a report of only  
 two deaths, which is much less than this insane group of killers  
 and gangsters had expected. Check out the following news headline  
 and see if you notice anything strange:

 http://edition.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/europe/07/07/london.tube/index.html.



 U.S. law enforcement sources say the British government has said  
 at least 40 people are dead in bomb attacks. On the same page you  
 will notice two confirmed dead. Plus what is US law enforcement  
 sources { whatever that means} reporting so quickly on how many  
 dead there are in London? Why wouldn't the London police report  
 something like that themselves?



 From the way the news of the bombings were reported, it sounded  
 that possibly a few of their bombs did not go off as planned. There  
 was a report that there were two buses that had blown up, when only  
 one bus was confirmed and pictures were shown.



 12:35 Scotland Yard revises the number of blasts down to four,  
 three in the underground system and one on a bus. These are:  
 Russell Square and Kings Cross Underground, Moorgate, Aldgate and  
 Liverpool Street Underground, Edgware Road station and Tavistock  
 Square where there was an explosion on a bus.



 http://edition.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/europe/07/07/london.timeline/ 
 index.html



 Then you have the typical claiming of responsibility by some  
 unknown bogus terrorist group called  the Secret Organization  
 group of al Qaeda Organization in Europe, who claimed  
 responsibility in a Web site posting. The authenticity of the claim  
 could not immediately be verified. People will not even remember  
 the name of this bogus organization by tomorrow.


 Plus it was not even claimed to be a suicide bombing, so any of  
 the US or British black ops killer government groups could have  
 easily planted their bombs on the trains and bus and remotely  
 detonated them. Since it already has been established that this was  
 a supposed terrorist attack, there will be no need for a CRIMINAL  
 INVESTIGATION to find out where the bomb parts came from and WHO  
 made the bombsCASE CLOSED, no more investigation needed here.  
 YEAH RIGHT SURE! The People will never notice this one BIG major  
 give away for the real black ops perpetrators of the killing act  
 to get away scott free in so-called terrorist attacks. One need  
 look no further than Israel to see this kind of Modus Operandi by  
 government controlled black ops small groups of individuals. So  
 called suicide bombings in Israel and elsewhere go un- 
 investigated thoroughly like other crimes, if it is called a  
 suicide TERRORIST bombing. People would never want to believe  
 that their gangster
  leaders would kill their own citizens for the benefit of the  
 elite super wealthy Illuminati rulers and their connected web  
 of gangsters, killers and thieves. But one only has to look at 911  
 to see this possible TRUTH!



 There were even reports that Scotland Yard knew about the attacks  
 before they took place, which is very strange. How could Scotland  
 Yard have such information and possibly know who, what, where, when  
 the attacks would occur and then DO NOTHING to stop them or warn  
 their British citizens? Obviously an investigation is warranted.

It should help to focus the FBI's intelligenceoperations and promote better coordination with agencies that spy abroad.But the reorganization the White House announced recently comes freightedwith the potential for a dangerous, unintended consequence. Constitutionalrights could become a casualty of the closer working relationship betweenthe FBI's domestic spies and those in the CIA and other agencies thatoperate abroad with an above-the-law ethic.If intelligence agents working inside the United States come to internalizethat ethic, investigative excesses that trample individual rights will be aninevitable result.The White House, Congress, the director of national intelligence and theattorney general will have to be vigilant to ensure that doesn't happen. Itwon't be easy as the reorganization could loosen ties binding the FBI'sdomestic intelligence operation to the Justice Department's culture of lawenforcement, judicial review and constitutional constraints.The FBI reorganization is part of a broader push to improve intelligencegathering. It combines the bureau's intelligence and counterterrorismoperations into one National Security Service. But who will ultimately runthe show?Attorney General Alberto Gonzales is the top federal law enforcementofficial. The office within the Justice Department that advises on thelegality of intelligence activities will continue to report to him. AndGonzales said every official within the FBI will remain under his ultimatesupervision. But the director of national intelligence will have authorityover the new National Security Service's budget and responsibility forcoordinating its work with that of other intelligence agencies. Officialsmust make sure the hierarchy is clear.The need to spy on foreign agents and potential terrorists inside the UnitedStates is an unfortunate fact of life.

[cia-drugs] Fwd: [Spy News] Number Of Iraq Casualties Is Double Official Figures,Says Puerto Rican Government

These total 1,649.Military affairs expert Jorge Rodríguez Beruff, from the University ofPuerto Rico said that the figures showing more than 4,000 dead indicatethat, far from winning the war in Iraq, "what is happening is that thetroops are being worn down." He said that traditional theorists calculatethat for an armed invading force to win a guerrilla war, its casualtiesshould be one to ten of its enemy's. In this case, that would require 40,000casualties among the insurgents.In addition, Rodríguez Beruff, warned that the reports should be reviewed onan ongoing basis, as he suspects that the number of casualties is evenhigher.Calculations are even more difficult when it comes to the wounded, which USauthorities number at more than 12,600, and medical discharges -- thosemaimed or suffering from physical and mental injuries -- about whom onlypartial reports can be obtained. In this category, large discrepancies incounts have been publicized by news outlets such as the national GermanPress Agency (DPA), which ran a story reporting on US Army documents puttingthe number of US soldiers with war-related mental ailments at 100,000.That issue is more controversial. The Argentine press agency Argenpressreported about 17,000 unreported cases of war-related mental illness. But nomatter the scenario, the numbers of wounded and medical discharges arelarger than those officially announced, as is the case with casualties.The figures came to light in the course of an ongoing investigation that ElDiario/La Prensa is making on the number of Puerto Rican and Hispaniccasualties in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. That inquiry promptedCongressman Josè Serrano (D-NY) and Aníbal Acevedo Vilá then ResidentCommissioner of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, to request a full casualtyreport, which yielded a partial list with 200 Puerto Rican losses, includingcasualties, wounded and medical discharges.After his election as Governor, Acevedo Vilá renewed his request to theDepartment of Defense for a total and specific accounting, but as of presstime he had yet to receive an answer.According to documents reviewed by this paper, in addition to the 1,649fatalities among US uniformed troops, there were 88 from Great Britain, 92from other coalition member countries, 238 reported by private contractors,and at least 2,000 from members of the Iraqi Army. The biggest defect inpublished counts is the missing casualties among Iraqi troops under commandof the occupying forces.-__ ___ _ ___ __ ___ _ _ _ __  /-_|-0-\-V-/-\|-|-__|-|-|-/-_| \_-\--_/\-/|-\\-|-_||-V-V-\_-\ |__/_|--//-|_|\_|___|\_A_/|__/  SPY NEWS is OSINT newsletter and discussion list associated to Mario's Cyberspace Station - The Global Intelligence News Portal http://mprofaca.cro.net CAUTION! # Since you are receiving and reading documents, news stories,comments and opinions not only from so called (or self-proclaimed) "reliable sources", but also a lot of possible misinformation collectedby Spy News moderator and subscribers and posted to Spy Newsfor OSINT purposes - it should be a serious reason (particularly tojournalists and web publishers) to think twice before using it for theirstory writing, further publishing or forwarding throughout Cyberspace.To unsubscribe:mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]*** FAIR USE NOTICE: This message contains copyrighted material whose use has not been specifically authorized by the copyright owner.

No – and words cannot express the sorrow I feel for themen and women changed by today's events. But governments with skeletons intheir closets have a great deal to gain from a national tragedy bolstered by"terrorism."As I sit in my office today, I hear the whispers of co-workers now utterlyconvinced our war on terror must continue. Despite American and Britishinvolvement in the Middle East birthing wave after wave of rebel forces, theBush doctrine is now justified in the minds of millions. Petty grievancessuch as the Downing Street Minutes, the President's flagging support andKarl Rove's treasonous outing of CIA agent Valerie Plame are unimportant. Ashadowy conglomeration is out to kill us.Sound familiar? It should – the same emotional ploy was used to great effecton Americans in the wake of September 11th. Question nothing, particularlyyour cries for vengeance or that nagging feeling in the back of your head.Justice delayed is justice denied.Unlike four years ago, however, I refuse to accept that the attack on Londonwas anything less than a false-flag operation designed to enrage Western"civilization" against the Middle East. Why? Because there is no reason for"terrorist" groups to attack England. As recently as this week, the Ministryof Defense announced that plans were being drafted that would pull Britisharmed forces from the quagmires in Iraq and Afghanistan. With the Britisheffectively admitting they're throwing in the towel, the only motivation tostay could come from an attack that compels the forces to stay and fight"global terrorism."Think about it. The attack only benefits empires desperate to maintain afoothold in the Middle East without further eroding public opinion. WillParliament shrug their shoulders and push their soldiers into longer toursof duty because of this? Obviously it's too early to tell, but if thathappens, insurgents and rebels will have lost more than they could have everpossibly gained in destroying part of the Underground.Brian Kilmeade of Fox News agrees, claiming the sabotage "works to ... [the]Western world's advantage, for people to experience something like thistogether." It doesn't just make "terrorism" an American problem. It makes ita worldwide problem. The Number One problem.No longer do we need to concern ourselves with two world leaders (who havespawned more worldwide terrorism than any fanatical religious organization)going unquestioned in their lies that started a war. We can cast off oursluggish economies, lack of freedoms and pitiful descent into draconian law.Terror is on the rise.I feel like I'm sitting in my apartment watching the World Trade Centercollapse all over again.Everything is the same, right down to the previously unheard of Islamicgroup (The Secret Organization of al-Qaida in Europe? Are you kidding me?)taking credit – even though the translation falls apart under scrutiny andthe Q'uran is improperly cited. Considering the only Al Qaeda cell to everbe uncovered was a front for the Mossad, you'd think the perpetrators couldat least come up with a clever new booga-booga name to grab headlines. Theirarrogance is startling.As is the ever-present Israeli connection, a staple among false flagoperations. Before today's attack, the Israeli Embassy in London wasnotified an attack was forthcoming. As a result, former Israeli PrimeMinister Binyamin Netanyahu remained in his hotel room rather than headtowards a nearby hotel where he was to address an economic summit.The embassy denies it had any prior knowledge, of course, but the story haschanged dramatically in the process. If, as they say, Netanyahu was notwarned, how did he know to stay in his room? How did he know the danger wasso severe that he dare not venture out of the hotel?Oops! The story's changed again – here Netanyahu says that British policehad warned the Israelis (but not the rest of the city?) of a pending attack.Scotland Yard denies this; Israel's reply was to say Netanyahu received hiswarning after the first blast. How? It was initially reported as a powersurge for hours. What is being hidden here? And why isn't there aninvestigation into these obvious discrepancies?It's enough to make your head spin and your eyes cross with rage.Regardless, I am making an appeal to Britons who are understandably wrackedwith grief at the moment – don't buy into the hatred the way

 CONFESSIONS OF A SECRET AGENT WHO TURNED IRA TERRORIST FOR THE

 The army asked me to make bombs for the IRA, told me I had the

 Exclusive: confessions of a secret agent turned terrorist
 By Neil Mackay



 KEVIN Fulton is very clear about where the orders were coming from.  
 'I was told that this was sanctioned right at the top,' he says,  
 sipping a Pepsi in the bar of a Glasgow hotel. 'I was told  
 'there'll be no medals for this, and no recognition, but this goes  
 the whole way to the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister knows what  
 you are doing.'


 This was 1980, and if Margaret Thatcher knew about the activities  
 of military intelligence agents such as Fulton, then she was also  
 aware her own military officers were planning to infiltrate British  
 soldiers as 'moles' into the IRA. These moles were ordered by their  
 handlers to carry out terrorist crimes in order to keep their cover  
 within the Provos so they could feed information on other leading  
 republicans back to security forces.

 For almost two years the Sunday Herald has been investigating the  
 activities of the FRU -- the Force Research Unit, an ultra-secret  
 wing of British military intelligence. Fulton worked for the FRU  
 for much of his career as an IRA mole. This unit, which has been  
 under investigation by Scotland Yard commissioner Sir John Stevens  
 for more than a decade, was involved in the murder of civilians in  
 Northern Ireland.

 Nicholas Benwell, a detective sergeant formerly attached to the  
 Stevens Inquiry, says the Scotland Yard team came to one  
 conclusion: that military intelligence was colluding with  
 terrorists to help them kill so-called 'legitimate targets' such as  
 active republicans. FRU handlers passed documents and photographs  
 to their agents operating within paramilitary groups detailing  
 targets' movements and the whereabouts of their homes. Pictures  
 were also handed over to help gunmen identify their victims. But  
 there was a problem. The targeting was far from professional and  
 many of the victims of these government-backed hit squads were

 In 1989 the FRU passed information to the UDA which the loyalist  
 gang used to murder the Belfast solicitor Pat Finucane, who was  
 shot dead in front of his wife and children. Last week, Prime  
 Minister Tony Blair pledged that the Government was determined to  
 uncover the truth about Finucane's murder. The Canadian judge Peter  
 Cory who was called in by the government to investigate the case is  
 expected to recommend a public inquiry. The Irish government is  
 also pressing for an inquiry of its own.

 So who was the overall controller of the FRU with its 'licence to  
 kill' republicans? Until now it seemed that responsibility for the  
 activities of the FRU rested on the shoulders of one man --  
 Brigadier Gordon Kerr, the Scottish officer who led the unit and is  
 now the British military attachŽ to Beijing. A two-part BBC  
 Panorama programme, concluding tonight, much of it based on the  
 Sunday Herald's previous investigations, puts Kerr squarely in the  
 frame.

 But if Fulton's claims are correct, then Kerr, soon to be  
 questioned by the Stevens team, was just one link in a chain of  
 command which went all the way to the cabinet and the Prime  
 Minister. As Fulton says: 'Kerr was just following orders. Soldiers  
 don't make up the rules, they just do as they're told.'

 Fulton's story begins in 1979. He was 19, and had just enlisted in  
 the First Battalion Royal Irish Rangers. Kevin Fulton isn't his  
 real name, but a pseudonym used to protect his identity since  
 turning whistle-blower on the activities of the British military,  
 the RUC and the security services in Ulster's 'dirty war'. His work  
 for military intelligence has been confirmed by FRU sources.

 Fulton's military file quickly found its way onto the desks of the  
 Intelligence Corps, the regiment which includes the FRU. It made  
 interesting reading. Here was a Catholic from Newry, in the heart  
 of a republican strong-hold, who seemed a loyal servant of the  
 Crown. After only a few weeks in the army, Fulton's staff sergeant  
 approached him. 'I was told that some guys from military  
 intelligence wanted to speak to me,' Fulton says. 'They asked me if  
 I'd like to work for them and I said 'no' as I wanted to remain in  
 uniform. They told me to think about the offer. They added that I  
 shouldn't tell anyone about the visit and that if I was asked I

But who stands to gain from this highly sophisticated attack?According to IsraelNN.com, a short time ago Scotland Yard had received intelligence warnings of the attacks a short time before they occurred.The Israeli Embassy in London was notified in advance, resulting in Finance Minister Binyamin Netanyahu remaining in his hotel room rather than make his way to the hotel adjacent to the site of the first explosion, a Liverpool Street train station, where he was to address and economic summit.The warning contradicts the fact that the original explanation of a power surge caused the power to go out for an hour or more. They knew it was an attack but put out a false explanation. Plus why did Netanyahu get a warning and the victims didn't?But, of course, now the mainstream media is starting to change their story, saying that there was no warning.The Mainstream Media have been talking about the similarities between today's bombing and the Madrid, Spain Train Bombings. But what they fail to mention is that the so called perpetrators were quickly linked to an "Al Qaeda" cell in Europe, but as was later reported on PrisonPlanet.com, they were linked to the Spanish Security service. The suspects then mysteriously Killed themselves as this information was seeping out. It's become apparent that Spain's government was using the bombings for its own gains and many went to the streets in Spain to declare they knew that their own government was behind the attacks. Click to join catapultthepropaganda    http://groups.yahoo.com/group/catapultthepropaganda/join This seems to me as either a MI5, CIA, or Mossad Operation. The reason I say this is because on July 4th, Britain made the announcement that they would be pulling their troops out of Iraq over the next 18 months, but now, they have a reason to stay in Iraq, how convenient for Tony Blair and George W. Bush. Also this will help the British and US Governments to Institute National ID card Programs, while tightening up "security" at all bus and train depot's, like they got with the airline industry after 9/11. More searching without probable cause, more detainments of "suspects". Then there is also the increased level of fear amongst the general populace this will generate as they pound it into the average american's head over and over again. Fear is an effective tool when one wants to scare many into submitting to things they would otherwise not accept. Like after 9/11, fear of terrorism was used to pass the Unconstitutional U.S.A. P.A.T.R.I.O.T. Act, which has since been proven to increase control over the people of the U.S. by severly impeding or completely nullifying most of the Bill of Rights, while at the same time doing very little, if anything, to prevent future terrorist attacks.Britain has bombed itself before and blamed it on the IRA, the US planned to attack itself in 1962 with Operation Northwoods. Israel has it's Lavon Affair. Hitler burnt the Reichstag Government building and blamed it on terrorists. Nero burnt Rome, and essentially did the same, blamed terrorists. It's proven that in the 1993 WTC bombing, the FBI planted Emad A. Salem to infiltrate an Arab group in New York. His job was to act as an agent provocateur, inciting violent attacks. It was Salem who convinced the other participants to bomb the World Trade Center. When he was asked to assemble the bomb, he went to the FBI to ask for harmless powder to avoid a catastrophe. The FBI essentially cut him off. To make a long, complicated story short and simple: The FBI spent $3 million of your tax money to blow up the World Trade Center. Then look at what our Government did to the Branch Davidians in Waco, which resulted in 80 deaths, 76 of which were Branch Davidians.People of the US, UK, and the World. This is just the latest in Government Sponsored "terrorist" attacks, and there will be more, unless we stop them through whatever means needed. Be it impeachment, or revolution, or somewhere in between, the terror attacks will stop if we reclaim our rightous command over our governments. Look at the way things have gone:War on Illiteracy - More illiteracy, and more ignoranceWar on Drugs - More Drugs on the Streets and more addicts.War on Poverty - More Unemployed and homeless What makes this 

[cia-drugs] Prescott Bush, the Union Banking Corporation an d The Story—Part Two

2005-07-10 Thread RoadsEnd


http://www.fleshingoutskullandbones.com/P.Bush-Union_Banking/Bush-Union_Banking.2.htmlPrescott Bush,the Union Banking Corporation and The Story—Part Twoby Kris Millegan"Hidden in the tides of economic warfare now surging over the world" is how the front page article in the Washington Post began on July 31, 1941. The very first word, the length and the headlines of the news article were the only things different from the original article that broke the news about the Bush/Nazi financial scandal in that morning's New York Herald-Tribune.The changes weren't much, but they do deserve some notice.The first change, provided by some anonymous eloquent editor at the Post—added the word "Hidden." The original Herald-Tribune article, and Herald-Tribune attributed ones—printed that same day, as the Post was—like the Charleston Daily Mail began with the words, "In the tides ..."The second change was quite substantial, The Post only ran the first twelve paragraphs of over fifty in the original, cutting out and cutting off any mention of "the private bank banking house of Brown Brothers Harriman" and "Prescott S. Bush and ... are directors of the Union Banking Corporation …" from the "news" proffered in the nation's capital that day.The third change was the headline, which is something that is almost always done. For headline are a part of each individual newspaper's presentational and rhetorical style, with many newspapers having their own headline editors and staff. Not really ominous.The significance comes understanding how lies are crafted for the "official" accounting of history presented by the mainstream press, pseudo secret society exposers and Bush family hacks. The basic story is told in part one of this tale, but this new information can expand our understanding of the actual events and subsequent "cover-ups."In putting together, John Buchanan's new book, Fixing America: Breaking the Stranglehold of Corporate Rule, Big Media, and the Religious Right for release this fall by TrineDay, I was looking at John's copies of a file at the National Archives. One of the first on top of the stack of papers was a copy of a news article. According to the stamp the item had been declassified on September 17, 2003, the very day John went to the archives to view the documents. What stood out to me was the headline, a headline that I had been searching for many years.Hitler's Angel Has 3 Millions In N. Y. Bank, read that headline. Interesting, I thought, there is the headline that Boston Globe scrivener Michael Kranish on April 23, 2001 reported thusly:Prescott Bush was surely aghast at a sensational article the New York Herald Tribune splashed on its front page in July 1942."Hitler’s Angel Has 3 Million in US Bank," read the headline above a story reporting that Adolf Hitler’s financier had stowed the fortune in Union Banking Corp., possibly to be held for "Nazi bigwigs." Bush knew all about the New York bank: He was one of its seven directors. If the Nazi tie became known, it would be a potential "embarrassment," Bush and his partners at Brown Brothers Harriman worried, explaining to government regulators that their position was merely an unpaid courtesy for a client. The situation grew more serious when the government seized Union’s assets under the Trading with the Enemy Act, the sort of action that could have ruined Bush’s political dreams.So, why did Mr. Kranish choose to lie, to misdirect? And about so many things? He lied about the date of the article, changing the real press date of July 1941 to July 1942, giving Prescott falsely the "honor" of "enhancing his stature" serving as chairman of the USO, before the "embarrassment" of his financial dealings with Nazis became front page news, and the subsequent October 1941 action of his property being sequestered under the "Trading With The Enemy Act." Property that Prescott, reportedly later received back and sold for $1.5 million in 1951.Why did Mr. Kranish mix together the Washington Post and New York Herald-Tribune stories and headlines? And then continue to lie to, and misdirect authors, researchers and journalist who called Kranish to confirm his reportage, asking for help in accessing the original source materials? Mr. Kranish's subtle misdirections got inflated into a full-blown lie in the 2003 biography of Prescott Bush, Duty, Honor, Country. There, Mickey Herskowitz boldly creates "new" history for the ruling "caste," using Kranish's article as authority.In everyone’s life there is a summer of ‘42; Prescott Bush spent his on Wall Street, where nostalgia and romance are not the hot commodities they were in the motion picture that made the phrase symbolic.A headline that landed on the front page of the New York Herald Tribune in July of that year read: “Hitler’s Angel Has 3 Million in U.S. Bank.” The reference was to the Union Banking Corporation. Prescott may have been upset or alarmed by the disclosure he was one of its seven directors. A person of less

[cia-drugs] Fwd: [ctrl] Fascists in the News

2005-07-12 Thread RoadsEnd


Begin forwarded message:From: "Alamaine" [EMAIL PROTECTED]Date: July 12, 2005 6:14:37 AM PDTTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]Subject: [ctrl] Fascists in the NewsReply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] DIPLOMATIC CABLES       07/11/2005  http://www.waynemadsenreport.com/diplomatic/foreign.htmLONDON, July 11, 2005 -- Some informed British sources believe that the recent London Transport bombings may have been the work of far right-wing British terrorists hoping to stir up tensions with the nation's large Muslim population. There are several reasons for this belief. One is that GCHQ and MI-5 intercepts of the communications of Muslim groups in Britain and abroad -- groups suspected of ties to militants -- revealed that targeted individuals and organizations were genuinely surprised at the London bombings. Another is the statement of former Metropolitan London police commissioner Sir John Stevens that the perpetrators were "almost certainly" British. Although many accused Stevens of stirring up racial tensions, he never referred to British Muslims. British Prime Minister Tony Blair ruled out any probe of the bombings claiming it would "distract" from the investigation.Although U.S. and some British media were quick to point blame at Muslim terrorists, little has been mentioned about David Copeland who set off a nail bomb in the Admiral Duncan pub on Old Compton Street in London's Soho in April 1999. The bomb killed three and injured 139. Copeland, a 22-year old electrical engineer and native of Hampshire, wanted to start a war against non-whites and homosexuals and believed he was a messenger from God. Copeland had a fascination for Adolf Hitler and dreamt of being an SS commander holding women sex slaves. Copeland was also charged with setting off nail bombs in an Afro-Caribbean neighborhood in Brixton and a Bangladeshi district in Brick Lane. The British police dismissed a claim of responsibilty for the Soho bombing by a fascist group called the White Wolves, emphasizing that Copeland acted alone. It is also significant that when he planned his terrorist bombings, Copeland worked as an electrician on the London Underground's Jubilee Line extension project. Copeland was sentenced to six life terms in prison for the bombings.There are reports that some members of British law enforcement and intelligence maintain a liaison with British fascist groups who are mainly centered in the Kentish Town neighborhood of north London, a neighborhood rife with Nazi posters, stickers, and graffiti. In addition to Kentish Town, Roetherhithe and Eltham in southeast London are bevies of fascist activities..British fascist groups include the British National Front, National Socialist Movement, and ex-members of Ulster paramilitary loyalist groups. Another fascist group, Combat 18, was established in 1992 as a security force for the National Front. It was later discovered that MI-5 had infiltrated Combat 18 to slip informants into loyalist paramilitary cells in Northern Ireland.Informed obsevers also point to the David Tovey case. In 2002, police searched Tovey's Oxfordshire home in an investigation to find the source of a spate of racist graffiti. According to The Guardian, police discovered much more than spray paint cans in Tovey's home: an arsenal of weapons (including a Baikal pistol with silencer), explosives (including PE4 plastic explosive, which is used by the British Army), bomb making equipment, NATO body armor, maps where mosques were located, British National Front literature, and license plate numbers of African and Asian individuals. Police learned that Tovey was involved in a right-wing gang that was placing anti-white graffiti in public toilets in Warwickshire and Oxfordshire. As with Copeland, police said they determined Tovey was a loner. The belief that British right-wing terrorists may have carried out the London train bombings coincides with a major Italian investigation of ties between far-right Italian groups, Italian law enforcement personnel, U.S. Defense Department covert operations agents, and Jihadist terrorists. ROME AND WASHINGTON, DC  July 10, 2005 -- More details are emerging from the scandal surrounding the secret parallel intelligence network in Italy that was tied to both U.S. Special Operations units and leading Fascist figures in Italy. It has also been revealed by the Belfast Telegraph that Gaetano Saya, the co-leader of  the Department of Strategic Anti-Terrorism Studies (DSSA), had his own liaison with the Vatican, Gilberto DiBenedetto, who was trying to obtain a security contract to protect Pope Benedict XVI. DSSA now appears to have had official sanction by the Italian government of Silvio Berlusconi. DSSA maintained a link to the internal database within the Italian Interior Ministry. The private automobiles of DSSA members were equipped with police sirens and flashing lights. DSSA members are also accused of trying to kidnap Cesare Battisti, a Red Brigade leader, from exile in Paris. It is likely that

Earl hadbeen working for Lieutenant Colonel Oliver North at the time.Earl was granted immunity from prosecution in return for testifying in thescandal.The Los Angeles Times on Sunday was the first to report that Earl wasservingas Gordon’s chief of staff.Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman told Reuters it was unclear why Earl’sposition had suddenly become an issue. “It was a long time ago,” Reutersquoted him as saying. “He has served ably for many years in the departmentandin industry.”Others, however, say the issue is too important to ignore. Mary Boyle, aspokeswoman for the Common Cause congressional watchdog group, told Reutersthat the decision to give Earl a job in which he would again be handlingclassified national security documents was not appropriate.“That fact is that this is a very sensitive and critical job,” Boyle toldReuters. “While it is true that people can pay their debts to society [...]this is a job that should be filled by someone who is beyond reproach.”-__ ___ _ ___ __ ___ _ _ _ __  /-_|-0-\-V-/-\|-|-__|-|-|-/-_| \_-\--_/\-/|-\\-|-_||-V-V-\_-\ |__/_|--//-|_|\_|___|\_A_/|__/  SPY NEWS is OSINT newsletter and discussion list associated to Mario's Cyberspace Station - The Global Intelligence News Portal http://mprofaca.cro.net CAUTION! # Since you are receiving and reading documents, news stories,comments and opinions not only from so called (or self-proclaimed) "reliable sources", but also a lot of possible misinformation collectedby Spy News moderator and subscribers and posted to Spy Newsfor OSINT purposes - it should be a serious reason (particularly tojournalists and web publishers) to think twice before using it for theirstory writing, further publishing or forwarding throughout Cyberspace.To unsubscribe:mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]*** FAIR USE NOTICE: This message contains copyrighted material whose use has not been specifically authorized by the copyright owner.

[cia-drugs] Fwd: Breaking News -- Bush Intel Chief Doing Intel for CNOOC

Begin forwarded message:From: "Sardar" [EMAIL PROTECTED]Date: July 12, 2005 3:10:22 PM PDTTo: "Sardar" [EMAIL PROTECTED]Subject: Breaking News -- Bush Intel Chief Doing Intel for CNOOC BUSH INTEL CHIEF DOING INTEL FOR CNOOCPosted 1:00 AM Easternby Investigative reporter, Jon C. RyterJuly 13, 2005NewsWithViews.comJames C. Langdon, Jr., while serving as the chairman of the President'sForeign Intelligence Advisory Panel [PFIAP] lobbied Beijing-based GoldmanSachs executive William Wicker to help him secure a lobbying contract withChina National Offshore Oil Company [CNOOC] for his law firm, Akin GumpStrauss Hauer  Feld, LLP. Langdon, who also served as a top fundraiser forthe Bush-Cheney Campaign in 2000 and 2004, is a long-time, close friend ofWicker. Wicker, who engineered the buyout of Unocal by CNOOC from rivalChevron (after a buyout agreement between Chevron and Unocal had been allbut finalized) was president of Texaco when Chevron and Texaco merged tobecome the fourth largest oil producer in the world.The involvement of Langdon in what can easily become Washington's newestBush scandal underscores the world of quid pro quos inside the DC beltway,and raises the question once again of whether the laws concerning lobbyingare being properly enforced, or if new laws are needed that criminalizeprofiteering from access to the hierarchy of any presidentialadministration. (Of course since a large percentage of the Congressman andSenator who are defeated for re-election—or make a career change uponretirement—sell their connections to lobbying firms who are in the businessto profit from those connections, it is unlikely that Congress will enactlegislation to ban the practice of selling access once they leave office).What was not initially revealed when Langdon officially recused himself fromdealing with matter related to CNOOC—either at Akin Gump Strauss Hauer Feld, LLP or at PFIAP—was the fact that Langdon met with CNOOC officials inChina in February to personally lobby them for the contract that wouldretain his law firm to represent CNOOC before the federal boards—such as theCommittee on Foreign Investment. The committee is a very secretive,12-member board operated by the Department of the Treasury. Sitting on thatboard are both cabinet officials and high-ranking members of the BushAdministration. While Langdon is not a member of the CFI, when the CFI isreviewing nationals security issues, clearly input from the PFIAP isessential. It is doubtful that point—which requested a review of theirproposed purchase by the CFI—escaped the Chinese government when they shookhands with Langdon in Beijing and hired his law firm.When it was revealed that Langdon's law firm had been retained because ofLangdon's lobbying Beijing, Akin Gump Strauss Hauer  Feld, LLP spokesmanMark Palmer skirted the question of whether the head of the PFIAP flew toBeijing to help his law firm nail down the lobbying deal with communistChina and then recused himself from CNOOC matters by simply saying thatLangdon "...is not working on the deal." Actually, by that time, after36-hours in Beijing and a firm handshake, the deal was done and Akin GumpStrauss Hauer  Feld, LLP—will still be using Langdon's prestige torepresent CNOOC before the CFI even if Langdon recuses himself from speakingon behalf of CNOOC, or as the chief intelligence officer of the PFIAPconcerning conflicts with national security issues related to China'sproposed takeover of Unocal. This whole deal smells like rotten carp.Langdon, as head of PFIAP, has one of the nation's highest securityclearances and is privy to top secret information that is not even availableto most members of Congress. His work for CNOOC must be viewed as a conflictof interest. His subsequent recusal from dealing with matters related toCNOOC is inconsequential—its akin to closing the barn door after the farmanimals have escaped and are roaming free all over the countryside. AllowingLangdon to remain an active member of an international legal law firm likeAkin Gump Strauss Hauer  Feld, LLP while serving as a top adviser to thePresident of the United States borders on insanity. That's like giving analcoholic the key to a well-stocked liquor cabinet and taking his word thathe won't take a drink.The House Armed Services Committee headed by Congressman Duncan Hunter[R-CA] will hold hearings tomorrow, July 13, on the national securityimplications of the Langdon link to the CNOOC buyout of UNOCAL Curt Weldon[R-PA] told the media yesterday that he intends to get to the bottom ofLangdon's involvement with CNOOC, adding that "...[u]nfortunately, corporatedollars often transcend national security." Langdon's connection to thisgrowing scandal highlights the conflicts of interest that abound inWashington, DC, and the need for laws with teeth that protect the Americanpeople from the piranhas of industry who swim in the political seas ofplenty, feasting on the taxpayers of the United States as they sacrifice thesecurity of the

State scientists fear itcould run amok on crops other than marijuana.By JULIE HAUSERMAN St. Petersburg Times, © July 17, 1999TALLAHASSEE -- There's a killer fungus among us, and Florida's new drug czarJim McDonough hopes to one day let it loose to murder the state's illegalmarijuana crops. Only one problem: Scientists at the Florida Department of EnvironmentalProtection fear the fungus could mutate, spread and kill off everything fromtomatoes to endangered plants.McDonough, who came to Florida to join Gov. Jeb Bush's administration afterworking for White House drug czar Barry McCaffrey, has been holding meetingsin Tallahassee to try to get state agencies on board with the idea oftesting Fusarium oxysporum, a co-called "'mycoherbicide," in Florida."'It's not been used yet," McDonough said, adding that if Florida were totest the soil-borne fungus, it would do so in a state quarantine facility inGainesville, where researchers isolate citrus canker and other plantdiseases. Before it could ever be released, it would need extensive review.The Montana company that is developing the killer fungus, Ag/Bio Con., gavestate officials literature saying the fungus "does not affect animals,humans or any other crops."DEP scientists reached a far different conclusion: "It is difficult, if notimpossible, to control the spread of Fusarium species," DEP Secretary DavidStruhs wrote in a letter to McDonough. "The inability to guarantee that theorganism will not mutate and attack other plant species is of most concern."Mutation of the organism would not only threaten Florida's naturalenvironment, but would also put at risk our economically vital agriculturalindustry." Florida's warm soils, Struhs wrote, could make the mutation worse. Thefungus can remain in the soil for as long as 40 years."Without considerably more information to address the concerns noted above,"Struhs wrote, "I strongly recommend that Florida not proceed further withthis proposal." McDonough followed up with a letter to Struhs and Agriculture CommissionerBob Crawford: "Before we conclude that it cannot be done," McDonough wrote,"let us take every opportunity to consider how it might be done safely."In June, both Struhs and Crawford signed off on the idea of quarantinetesting in Gainesville, and that's as far as the proposal has gone.McDonough said he has not pitched the idea to Gov. Jeb Bush.McDonough has the backing of U.S. Rep. Bill McCollum, R-Longwood, who calledmycoherbicides the "silver bullet" in the war on drugs. McCollum and U.S.Sen. Bob Graham, D-Fla., helped push for $23-million that Congressappropriated this year to eradicate plants that provide the raw material forcocaine, heroin and marijuana. The money is earmarked for research inforeign countries, but McDonough wants to see if he can get some of thefunds for Florida. Tim Moore, commissioner for the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, saidthe fungus could be a valuable addition to the state's anti-drug arsenal, aslong as tests prove it is safe.Another supporter is Betty Sembler of St. Petersburg, wife of developer MelSembler, one of the Republican party's biggest fund-raisers. Mrs. Sembler isan anti-drug activist who founded the group Drug Free America. She says shesupports the idea of using bio-control on drug crops because she thinks itis a better than spraying pesticides like Paraquat.Information provided by McCollum's office says, "There is no danger to theenvironment." An old Florida storyGovernment foresters once spread the seeds of Australian melaleuca treesover the Everglades to help drain the swamp. Now, decades later, the stateis waging a chemical and biological war against the noxious trees. Likearboreal shock troops, melaleuca trees have marched through the Everglades,draining wetlands years after the state decided that the Everglades werebetter off wet in the first placeKudzu, a Chinese vine, was distributed by the government to control erosionin the 1920s and soon became a botanical bully, growing as much as a footper day. Water hyacinth, a plague in Florida lakes and rivers, was carried into thestate by a woman who lived near Palatka. She saw the pretty floating flowerat the World's Fair in New Orleans and brought it home to put in her fishpond. It spread, and now the state spends millions of tax dollars to

Lilienthal, Director of the Center for Privacy and Technology Policy at the Free Congress Foundation, expressed concern that the House Judiciary Committee bill extending the USA Patriot Act does not retain the existing sunset powers. The House Judiciary Committee’s legislation does not include the provision for administrative subpoenas, a power which could receive judicial review only after searches have been executed. That omission from the legislation is certainly welcomed.“The concern is not that the Patriot Act powers will be used against the terrorists; it is that the powers will start to be used in other areas of law enforcement. Prudence dictates that a check be retained on the Patriot Act powers to ensure constant review of their application,” Lilienthal said.“President Bush is absolutely right when he says the threat of terrorism will be with us for a very long time. So will the Patriot Act powers. Many conservatives understand full well how future policymakers can take laws intended for an important reason –combating terrorism – and try applying those powers to other areas. Not only should the existing sunsets be retained, they should be added to such far-reaching powers as the Section 213 delayed notification searches (“sneak and peek”) that short-circuit the Fourth Amendment because it extends well beyond fighting terrorism. A sunset should also be applied to the expanded definition of domestic terrorism because its application could endanger assertive -- but legitimate -- political activists whose only crime is being politically incorrect.”A recent Washington Times story quoted an anonymous staffer of the House Judiciary Committee expressing dismay that the Department of Justice has not been forthcoming with material on how the Patriot Act powers are being used. If true, that failure to provide the committee charged with providing oversight of the Patriot Act’s execution indicates the need for the addition of  effective checks and balances to the legislation.- 30 -___Politech mailing listArchived at http://www.politechbot.com/Moderated by Declan McCullagh (http://www.mccullagh.org/)

Now they want to be the ones in charge.While the formal proposal from a U.N. working group will be released July 18, it's already clear what it will contain. A preliminary summary of governmental views claims there's a "convergence of views" supporting a new organization to oversee crucial Internet functions, most likely under the aegis of the United Nations or the International Telecommunications Union.At issue is who decides key questions like adding new top-level domains, assigning chunks of numeric Internet addresses, and operating the root servers that keep the Net humming. Other suggested responsibilities for this new organization include Internet surveillance, "consumer protection," and perhaps even the power to tax domain names to pay for "universal access."[...remainder snipped...]___Politech mailing listArchived at http://www.politechbot.com/Moderated by Declan McCullagh (http://www.mccullagh.org/)

It says that women should "bewail and commemoratethe dead," and it warns, "The sword of murder is not the balance of justice!Blood does not wipe out dishonor nor violence indicate possession." Theproclamation urges disarmament and ends with the hope that "the great humanfamily can live in peace."The demonstrators wailed and sang a few songs, Wormeli says, and they alsoheard from Pat Sheehan, whose son Casey died in Baghdad."My wife, Cindy, was supposed to be there but couldn't make it, and so I wasjust there to say a few words about my son," he recalls. (Cindy Sheehan, anoutspoken opponent of the U.S. occupation, is active in Gold Star Familiesfor Peace.)Unbeknownst to the protesters, the National Guard was monitoring theiraction, according to a June 26 article in the San Jose Mercury News by DionNissenbaum."Three days before the rally, as a courtesy to the military, an aide in Gov.Arnold Schwarzenegger's press office alerted the Guard to the event,according to e-mails obtained by the Mercury News," the story said. One ofthose e-mails was from National Guard Chief of Staff Colonel John Moorman,who was writing to Major General Thomas Eres, head of the Guard: "Sir,Information you wanted on Sunday's demonstration at the Capitol." Moormancopied the e-mail to other top commanders, including Colonel Jeff Davis, whooversees a new intelligence gathering operation by the California NationalGuard, the paper said. Davis responded to the e-mail: "Thanks, Forwardingsame to our Intell. folks who continue to monitor."When Wormeli heard about this, she was taken aback. "I was both kind ofangry and sad at the same time," she says. "Angry that they would wastetheir time and money on this, and sad because I don't know how it wouldimpact activists who might not want to deal with the National Guard."Pat Sheehan also denounced the apparent surveillance: "I think itísridiculous," he says.Medea Benjamin, one of the founders of CodePink, said, "What has thiscountry come to when our National Guard is off fighting in Iraq instead ofhome protecting us from natural disasters, and the few Guardsmen and womenwho are still here are assigned to investigate women who are calling forpeace?"At least one California state senator, Joe Dunn, who heads the subcommitteein the legislature that oversees the Guard, was not happy to hear aboutthis, either."My concern," he told the Mercury News, "is that we're back into the 1960sand '70s, when under allegedly legitimate reasons, military officialsengaged in spying activities on American citizens. That is not theirresponsibility. That is not within their jurisdiction. And it sets anextremely dangerous precedent for this democracy."Senator Dunn urged the Guard to preserve all documents concerning the newintelligence unit, the paper said, adding that he intended to hold hearingson this subject.Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger commands the California National Guard, buthis office referred a question on this subject to the Guard's director ofpublic affairs, Lieutenant Colonel Douglas Hart.Hart told the Mercury News, "We do not spy on people."And he told The Progressive, "We didn't do it. Let me explain to you exactlywhat happened. There was a protest down at the capitol and they have to putin a request to do this kind of protest at the capitol. And in their requestthey said they were going to urge the governor to bring National Guardtroops back from Iraq. The governor's office forwarded that information tome, and I let my boss know, and he had our joint operations center monitorthe news so he could see what was said. It's that simple."But another spokesperson for the Guard, Lieutenant Colonel Stan Zezotarski,justified its interest in at least following the protest groups in themedia. "Who knows who could infiltrate that type of group and try to stirsomething up?" he told the

Listen live at:http://www.4acloserlook.com/nsightful essays on the genesis of subcultures from new wave and yuppies to graffiti and rapFrom the birth of hip-hop culture in the South Bronx to the influence of nightclubs in shaping the modern art world in New York, a generation of countercultural events and icons are brought to life in this personal account of the life and experiences of an investigative reporter and editor of High Times. Evidence from cutting-edge conspiracy research including the real story behind the JFK assassination and the Franklin Savings and Loan cover-up is presented. Quirky personalities and compelling snapshots of life in the 1980s and 1990s emerge in this collection of vignettes from a landmark figure in journalism.The Octopus Conspiracy delivers a lifetime of counterculture journalism, plunging the reader deep into the fomenting cultural waves that few get to experience personally. Steven Hager takes you behind the scenes of that hip underground of burgeoning international artistic and cultural movements—movements that set the music, fashions, fads, tastes and sensibilities of generations.We get to view these cultural events from various vantage points. One as a cub reporter meeting the young striving artists long before they were famous. Another as an editor of High Times, the counterculture’s most successful voice, where Hager is given entrée to events and to the celebrities at the heart of popular culture—sex, drugs and rock ’n’ roll—that give him a panorama experienced by very few.But he doesn’t stop there. Hager examines our spiritual quests, celebrations and rituals. And in articles that bring clarity to our national discourse, he probes the netherworld of assassinations, secret societies and conspiracies affecting our national political life and personal liberties.The opening piece, “Heritage of Stone,” was named “the best written article on the [JFK] assassination” by Judge Jim Garrison—the same Jim Garrison who as New Orleans’ District Attorney forced the only open-court examination ever held of the President’s murder.Hager’s candid reportage and incisive interviews have also been called “the best and most reliable history of the break-rap-graffitti subculture” by the late, great New York Times music-critic, Robert Palmer.Whether you read them all at once or seperately, these are stories to be shocked about, to chuckle over, to ponder and to share. Over 150 photographs, many from award-winning photographers, give additional depth and allow readers an extra look at seminal events and notable people of our time.“Hits home with little-known facts”Nelson George, Billboard“The best read on the subject”James Marshall, East Village Eye“A thrilling, intricate story”Greil Marcus, Art Forum“Intelligent, extremely well-written”Dave Marsh, Rock  Roll Confidential“Impressive”David Hinckley, NY Daily News“What Margaret Mead was to Samoa...Steven Hager’s “Hip Hop” is to the South Bronx.”Art critic Rene Ricard“The most historically accurate book on the subject”Mark Weinstein, The SourceOver 150 PhotosSteven Hager is the author of Adventures in Counterculture, Art After Midnight, and Hip Hop.

Theoverhaul aims to spur the sluggish bureaucracy beset by turf wars andgrowing pains, and to ensure department resources are put into the nation'smost vulnerable areas."Over time, as intelligence warrants and progress allows, DHS will be opento change. We will be straight forward. If something goes wrong, we will notonly acknowledge it, we will be the first to fix the error," Chertoff told apacked ballroom of lawmakers, department employees and other officials.Chertoff, who opened his speech offering condolences to the British peopleafter the London bombings. He did not give any specifics about his plan toput explosives, bioterror, chemical or radioactive material detectionsystems in the nation's rail, subway and bus systems.He also renewed his pitch to retool terror-watch lists used to screenpassengers on airline flights to eliminate what he called "an unacceptablyhigh number of false positives."Chertoff said the United States needs to improve its immigration system aspart of bolstering border security. Though the department will deploy morepersonnel and technology at borders to deter illegal immigrants fromentering the country, Chertoff said a newly approved temporary workerprogram should help migrants seeking jobs in the United States "intoregulated legal channels."He said he and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice will soon announce plansto ease visa hassles for foreigners entering the country to visit, work andstudy.\Chertoff also pledged better oversight of private contractingpractices in the department.Organizational structure changesMost of his recommendations Wednesday focused on a shaking up of HomelandSecurity's chain of command.Chief among them was creation of an intelligence director to centralize theanalysis of information gathered by 11 Homeland Security bureaus. Thedirector, who has not yet been appointed, will be asked to improve HomelandSecurity's standing within the intelligence community, where it is perceivedas a junior partner and often left out of the loop.Homeland Security was initially designed to be the government's chief centerfor analyzing terrorist threats, but an interagency office led by a CIAofficer has assumed that role. Homeland Security merged 22 agencies when itopened its doors in March 2003 -- the largest U.S. government reorganizationin 50 years.A chief medical officer also will be named to oversee bioterror policy andcoordinate responses to biological attacks by the Centers for DiseaseControl, which stockpiles vaccines and antidotes, and state and localofficials. Poor information flow between federal agencies during theWashington-area's false anthrax scare this year contributed to the decisionto create this post, officials said.A new policy undersecretary will oversee international affairs, strategicplans and work with the private sector. And Chertoff will elevate cybersecurity by assigning it to an assistant secretary, who also focuses ontelecommunications.Eighty percent of the changes can be accomplished under Chertoff's existingauthority; the remainder require congressional approval.Some lawmakers Chertoff briefed Tuesday said the overhaul was headed in theright direction but remained skeptical that bureaucratic reorganizationwould make the country safer."We appreciated him coming and talking to us, but ... at the end of the dayyou have to show Congress and the public what you have done will in factmake us safer" said Rep. Bennie G.

Of course the Americans will have to be prepared that hundreds ...of cities will be destroyed by the Chinese."Xian is an ancient city in central China.Zhu said the comments represented his personal view and not the policy ofthe government. Nonetheless, his threat to use nuclear weapons is the mostspecific by a senior Chinese official in nearly a decade.Analysts said the comments were largely rhetoric but also indicated thatBeijing wanted to show the United States it was serious about Taiwan."China's leaders, especially the military, think it is important for weakercountries like China to demonstrate their willingness to defend their coreinterests," Joseph Cheng, a political analyst at City University in HongKong, told AFP."It's an old-fashioned strategy that is also meant for domestic consumption."On the Taiwan issue, the US government tends to adopt a strategic ambiguityapproach. On the part of China, it wants to show it is ready to make thesacrifices," Cheng said.China's military spending has risen at an average double-digit rate over thepast decade, hitting 24.5 billion US dollars in 2004, but it would still nothave the capability to fight a conventional war against the United States,analysts said.Although China has a no first-strike nuclear policy, Zhu said he believedthe policy applied to non-nuclear powers and could be changed, the reportssaid.China and Taiwan split in 1949 at the end of a civil war but Beijing stillclaims it as part its territory and has repeatedly threatened to invade ifthe island formalises its 56-year separation with a declaration ofindependence.In March China adopted a law allowing it to use force against any secessionmoves by Taiwan, triggering concerns in Washington and raising tensions inthe region.Since the United States switched diplomatic recognition from Taipei toBeijing in 1979, Washington has acknowledged Beijing's position that Taiwanshould be considered an integral part of China.Yet the United States remains the leading arms supplier to Taiwan because itis bound by law to offer the island the means of self-defence if itssecurity were threatened.Zhu's comments come ahead of Washington's annual report on the Chinesemilitary and as a string of US officials have raised concerns about the riseof China's military.The issue was most recently brought up by US Secretary of State CondoleezzaRice who, on a visit to Beijing last weekend, highlighted tensions withTaiwan as a key concern.She urged Beijing to reach out to the island's elected leadership.All rights reserved. © 2004 Agence France-Presse.-__ ___ _ ___ __ ___ _ _ _ __  /-_|-0-\-V-/-\|-|-__|-|-|-/-_| \_-\--_/\-/|-\\-|-_||-V-V-\_-\ |__/_|--//-|_|\_|___|\_A_/|__/  SPY NEWS is OSINT newsletter and discussion list associated to Mario's Cyberspace Station - The Global Intelligence News Portal http://mprofaca.cro.net CAUTION! # Since you are receiving and reading documents, news stories,comments and opinions not only from so called (or self-proclaimed) "reliable sources", but also a lot of possible misinformation collectedby Spy News moderator and subscribers and posted to Spy Newsfor OSINT purposes - it should be a serious reason (particularly tojournalists and web publishers) to think twice before using it for theirstory writing, further publishing or forwarding throughout Cyberspace.To unsubscribe:mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]*** FAIR USE NOTICE: This message contains copyrighted material whose use has not been specifically authorized by the copyright owner.

Charles Kennedy, leader of the Liberal Democratic party, the only major British party to condemn the invasion of Iraq in last May's election, cautiously said, "I am not here implying some causal link between Britain's involvement in Iraq and the attacks in London."Prime Minister Tony Blair's spokesman said it would be "nave" to link the London bombs and the Anglo-American invasion of Iraq. "This kind of terrorism was active long before the Iraq war," he pointed out. "9/11 was in September 2001, not 2003."So there you have it. The 9/11 attacks, in which 19 men born in the Middle East killed several thousand innocent Americans and others, were just a random act by people who "hate freedom," and the target could just as easily have been Canada or Sweden.The bombs in London on July 7, in which four young British men brought up in West Yorkshire murdered dozens of their fellow countrymen, could just as easily have happened 10 years ago. And, of course, none of it had anything to do with Islam.We are drowning in lies. The U.S. government, whose troops, intelligence services and local proxies have spent the past 50 years subverting or crushing Middle Eastern governments (including democratic ones) that threatened its control of the region's oil, denies that the recent wave of terrorist attacks has anything to do with U.S. policy in the region.But here's a clue: Arabs make up fewer than a quarter of the world's Muslims, but all 19 hijackers of 9/11, like almost every other Islamist radical that attacked any American target before the invasion of Iraq, were Arabs.The British government similarly denies that there is any connection between Blair's decision to join President George Bush's Iraq adventure and the bombs in London.Blair has to defend this position regardless of the evidence, because otherwise it would be solely his fault that Britain is now a target for Islamist terrorism.But here's another clue. Every major terrorist attack by Islamists since the invasion of Iraq in March 2003 has targeted the citizens of countries that sent troops to Iraq: Americans, not Canadians; British, not French; Spanish, not Germans; Australians, not New Zealanders.And these later attacks have not all been carried out by Arabs.Other Muslims are now getting involved, too: Indonesians in the bomb attack on Australian tourists in Bali; Turks in the attacks on the British consulate and Jewish institutions in Istanbul; and now British Muslims of non-Arab origin in attacks on their own fellow-citizens.Is there some "causal link" here, as Charles Kennedy so delicately put it? You bet your boots there is.Muslims everywhere were horrified by 9/11 and quite rightly denied that it was in any way an _expression_ of Islamic values.Many Arabs, however, did share the grievances that had radicalized the terrorists, and even felt a fleeting, guilty satisfaction at seeing Americans suffer as so many Arabs have suffered. Whereas most non-Arab Muslims, at that point, saw no excuse whatever for the attacks, and felt nothing but sympathy for the United States.Then came the invasion of Iraq, which was obviously not about fighting terrorism (since there weren't any terrorists there, or any links between Saddam Hussein and Al Qaeda).All over the world, Muslims, and especially young Muslims, began to conclude that there was some substance to the Islamist radicals' argument that the West was indiscriminately attacking Muslims everywhere; that it was actually attacking Islam itself.This was the point at which terrorist attacks by non-Arab Muslims living in Western countries first became a serious possibility, for the entire Muslim community in countries like Britain, the U.S. and Australia felt betrayed by its own government.Only the tiniest minority of their young men and women are ever likely to respond to that sense of betrayal with actual terrorist attacks. But the connection between Britain's participation in the invasion of Iraq and the bombs in London is strong.Not one of the Western countries that drew the line at an unprovoked invasion of Iraq  not even the ones like France, Germany and Canada that sent troops to help the U.S. fight terrorism in Afghanistan, and that have large Muslim minorities at home  has seen such an attack, nor probably will it.

Just as it was branded unpatriotic in the USafter the 2001 attacks on New York and Washington to talk about the linkwith American policy in the Middle East, so those who have raised theevident connection between the London atrocities and Britain's role in Iraqand Afghanistan have been denounced as traitors. And anyone who hasquestioned Tony Blair's echo of George Bush's fateful words on September 11that this was an assault on freedom and our way of life has been treated asan apologist for terror.But while some allowance could be made in the American case for the shock ofthe attacks, the London bombings were one of the most heavily trailed eventsin modern British history. We have been told repeatedly since the primeminister signed up to Bush's war on terror that an attack on Britain was acertainty - and have had every opportunity to work out why that might be.Throughout the Afghan and Iraq wars, there has been a string ofauthoritative warnings about the certain boost it would give toal-Qaida-style terror groups. The only surprise was that the attacks were solong coming.But when the newly elected Respect MP George Galloway - who might be thoughtto have some locus on the subject, having overturned a substantial NewLabour majority over Iraq in a London constituency with a large Muslimpopulation - declared that Londoners had paid the price of a "despicableact" for the government's failure to heed those warnings, he was accused bydefence minister Adam Ingram of "dipping his poisonous tongue in a pool ofblood". Yesterday, the Liberal Democrat leader Charles Kennedy was in thedock for a far more tentative attempt to question this suffocatingconsensus. Even Ken Livingstone, who had himself warned of the danger posedto London by an invasion of Iraq, has now claimed the bombings were nothingto do with the war - something he clearly does not believe.A week on from the London outrage, this official otherworldliness is onceagain in full flood, as ministers and commentators express astonishment thatcricket-playing British-born Muslims from suburbia could have become suicidebombers, while Blair blames an "evil ideology". The truth is that no amountof condemnation of evil and self-righteous resoluteness will stop terrorattacks in the future. Respect for the victims of such atrocities issupposed to preclude open discussion of their causes in the aftermath - butthat is precisely when honest debate is most needed.The wall of silence in the US after the much greater carnage of 9/11 allowedthe Bush administration to set a course that has been a global disaster. Andthere is little sense in London that the official attitude reflects the moreuncertain mood on the streets. There is every need for the kind of publicmourning that will take place in London today, along with concerted actionto halt the backlash against Muslim Britons that claimed its first life inNottingham at the weekend. But it is an insult to the dead to mislead peopleabout the crucial factors fuelling this deadly rage in Muslim communitiesacross the world.The first piece of disinformation long peddled by champions of theoccupations of Iraq and Afghanistan is that al-Qaida and its supporters haveno demands that could possibly be met or negotiated over; that they arereally motivated by a hatred of western freedoms and way of life; and thattheir Islamist ideology aims at global domination. The reality was neatlysummed up this week in a radio exchange between the BBC's political editor,Andrew Marr, and its security correspondent, Frank Gardner, who was leftdisabled by an al-Qaida attack in Saudi Arabia last year. Was it the "verydiversity, that melting pot aspect of London" that Islamist extremists foundso offensive that they wanted to kill innocent civilians in Britain'scapital, Marr wondered. "No, it's not that," replied Gardner briskly, who isbetter acquainted with al-Qaida thinking than most. "What they findoffensive are the policies of western governments and specifically thepresence of western troops in Muslim lands, notably Iraq and Afghanistan."The central goal of the al-Qaida-inspired campaign, as its statements haveregularly spelled out, is the withdrawal of US and other western forces fromthe Arab and Muslim world, an end to support for Israeli occupation ofPalestinian land and a halt to support for

Chapin was convicted in April 1974 of perjury in connection with his relationship to the political saboteur Donald Segretti."Any individual who works here at the White House has the confidence of the president. They wouldn't be working here at the White House if they didn't have the president's confidence."- Scott McClellan, press secretary to George W. Bush, defending Karl Rove on Tuesday.WELL, of course, Karl Rove did it. He may not have violated the Intelligence Identities Protection Act of 1982, with its high threshold of criminality for outing a covert agent, but there's no doubt he trashed Joseph Wilson and Valerie Plame. We know this not only because of Matt Cooper's e-mail, but also because of Mr. Rove's own history. Trashing is in his nature, and bad things happen, usually through under-the-radar whispers, to decent people (and their wives) who get in his way. In the 2000 South Carolina primary, John McCain's wife, Cindy, was rumored to be a drug addict (and Senator McCain was rumored to be mentally unstable). In the 1994 Texas governor's race, Ann Richards found herself rumored to be a lesbian. The implication that Mr. Wilson was a John Kerry-ish girlie man beholden to his wife for his meal ticket is of a thematic piece with previous mud splattered on Rove political adversaries. The difference is that this time Mr. Rove got caught. Even so, we shouldn't get hung up on him - or on most of the other supposed leading figures in this scandal thus far. Not Matt Cooper or Judy Miller or the Wilsons or the bad guy everyone loves to hate, the former CNN star Robert Novak. This scandal is not about them in the end, any more than Watergate was about Dwight Chapin and Donald Segretti or Woodward and Bernstein. It is about the president of the United States. It is about a plot that was hatched at the top of the administration and in which everyone else, Mr. Rove included, are at most secondary players. To see the main plot, you must sweep away the subplots, starting with the Cooper e-mail. It has been brandished as a smoking gun by Bush bashers and as exculpatory evidence by Bush backers (Mr. Rove, you see, was just trying to ensure that Time had its facts straight). But no one knows what this e-mail means unless it's set against the avalanche of other evidence, most of it secret, including what Mr. Rove said in three appearances before the grand jury. Therein lies the rub, or at least whatever case might be made for perjury. Another bogus subplot, long popular on the left, has it that Patrick Fitzgerald, the special prosecutor, gave Mr. Novak a free pass out of ideological comradeship. But Mr. Fitzgerald, both young (44) and ambitious, has no record of Starr- or Ashcroft-style partisanship (his contempt for the press notwithstanding) or known proclivity for committing career suicide. What's most likely is that Mr. Novak, more of a common coward than the prince of darkness he fashions himself to be, found a way to spill some beans and avoid Judy Miller's fate. That the investigation has dragged on so long anyway is another indication of the expanded reach of the prosecutorial web. Apparently this is finally beginning to dawn on Mr. Bush's fiercest defenders and on Mr. Bush himself. Hence, last week's erection of the stonewall manned by the almost poignantly clownish Mr. McClellan, who abruptly rendered inoperative his previous statements that any suspicions about Mr. Rove are "totally ridiculous." The morning after Mr. McClellan went mano a mano with his tormentors in the White House press room - "We've secretly replaced the White House press corps with actual reporters," observed Jon Stewart - the ardently pro-Bush New York Post ran only five paragraphs of a wire-service story on Page 12. That conspicuous burial of what was front-page news beyond Murdochland speaks loudly about the rising anxiety on the right. Since then, White House surrogates have been desperately babbling talking points attacking Joseph Wilson as a partisan and a liar.These attacks, too, are red herrings. Let me reiterate: This case is not about Joseph Wilson. He is, in Alfred Hitchcock's parlance, a MacGuffin, which, to quote the Oxford English Dictionary, is "a particular event, object, factor, etc., initially presented as being of great significance to the story, but often having little actual importance for the plot as it develops."

Wilson IV's wife,Valerie Plame, was a CIA agent. To try to conceal the fact that thepresident had lied to the American public about Iraq's weapons of massdestruction program, Rove attempted to destroy the credibility of twonational security veterans and send an intimidating message to any othergovernment officials preparing to publicly tell the truth.Rove's lawyer now says that Rove didn't break the law against naming covertagents because he didn't know Plame's name and therefore couldn't haverevealed it. Perhaps he can use such a technicality in court, but in themeantime he should resign immediately -- or be fired by the president -- forleaking classified information, trying to smear Wilson and possiblyendangering Plame's life."The White House promised if anyone was involved in the Valerie Plameaffair, they would no longer be in this administration," said SenateMinority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev. "I trust they will follow through on thispledge."The background on this story is crucial. Ambassador Wilson had been honoredas a patriot by President George H.W. Bush for standing up to Saddam Husseinin a face-to-face confrontation in Baghdad on the eve of the Persian GulfWar. But in 2003, Wilson committed an unpardonable crime in the eyes of thesecond Bush White House. He exposed its lies about Iraq's weapons of massdestruction programs.In 16 now infamous words in Bush's 2003 State of the Union speech, thepresident -- desperate to gain support for an invasion he was dead set oninitiating -- tried to scare Americans into believing Iraq was close tomaking nuclear weapons. "The British government," he told the nation, "haslearned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities ofuranium from Africa." But the key documents that the claim was based onalready had been proved to be fakes.In fact, it was a CIA-organized mission by Wilson to the African country ofNiger (where he had served as ambassador) that determined the reports werefalse. Wilson was therefore shocked to hear the uranium claims in thepresident's speech. When he exposed the chicanery in a New York Timescommentary, Wilson became a prime target for a White House smear job.According to e-mails that Time magazine reporter Matthew Cooper sent to hiseditor (which were revealed by Newsweek last weekend), Rove told Cooper thatWilson's devastating expose should be discounted because the Nigerfact-finding trip had been authorized by Wilson's wife, who worked at theCIA.This was three days before Robert Novak, citing two White House sources,outed Plame as a CIA agent in his column and put forward the same notion.It's ironic that the expertise of this couple should be turned against themby a White House that has demonstrated nothing but incompetence in dealingwith the WMD issue. But clearly truth and competence are virtues easily shedby the Bush administration in the pursuit of political advantage, even whenthis partisan game jeopardizes national security.This is the most important issue raised by the Plame scandal. It has beenunfortunately obscured by the secondary debate in the case: whetherreporters should ever reveal their sources. Yet what the emerging Rovescandal demonstrates is the ease with which a wily top White House officialcan subvert the Bill of Rights' protection of the free press to serve thetawdriest of political ends.Robert Scheer is a columnist for the Los Angeles Times.-__ ___ _ ___ __ ___ _ _ _ __  /-_|-0-\-V-/-\|-|-__|-|-|-/-_| \_-\--_/\-/|-\\-|-_||-V-V-\_-\ |__/_|--//-|_|\_|___|\_A_/|__/  SPY NEWS is OSINT newsletter and discussion list associated to Mario's Cyberspace Station - The Global Intelligence News Portal http://mprofaca.cro.net CAUTION! # Since you are receiving and reading documents, news stories,comments and opinions not only from so called (or self-proclaimed) "reliable sources", but also a lot of possible misinformation collectedby Spy News moderator and subscribers and posted to Spy Newsfor OSINT purposes - it should be a serious reason (particularly tojournalists and web publishers) to think twice before using it for theirstory writing, further publishing or forwarding throughout Cyberspace.To unsubscribe:mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]*** FAIR USE NOTICE: This message contains copyrighted material whose use has not been specifically authorized by the copyright owner.

(By LennyIgnelzi -- Associated Press)William Scott Rich III became involved in the FIRES program soon after hewas hired in December 2002, and MZM received multimillion-dollar orders tocontinue work on FIRES and other programs.The senior Rich "was not involved in matters concerning MZM's work at theNGIC except in the normal way of the executive director's responsibility tooversee all the programs run at the facility," according to a statement byDeborah Parker, chief of public affairs for the Army Intelligence andSecurity Command, which oversees the NGIC.When the younger Rich was hired by MZM, "in line with joint ethicsregulations, [Rich senior] was required to inform his superiors and recusehimself from dealing with the [MZM] company," Parker's statement said.Parker did not provide the date Rich recused himself.The elder Rich was not the only NGIC senior manager with a relative at MZM.The wife of Robert Canar, until last month the center's longtime chief ofstaff, was employed as a secretary at MZM.When the senior Rich resigned from the NGIC in September 2003, he joined MZMas a senior executive vice president for intelligence. "The circumstances ofMr. Rich's employment with MZM were thoroughly reviewed by Army officials,"according to Parker, and "no evidence of impropriety was found."The Ethics in Government Act barred Rich, as a senior manager, from havingdealings with the NGIC for one year after his employment by MZM.Over the past three years, Rich was joined at MZM by at least 15 formerintelligence center colleagues -- analysts and administrative personnelhired, in some cases, to work on the same projects they dealt with asgovernment employees, according to present and former NGIC staffers. "Aftercontract awards, many people were hired away from NGIC at a higher salary,only to return to work on the same programs," according to one contractemployee working at the NGIC who spoke on the condition of anonymity inorder to keep his job.The Ethics in Government Act's standards differ for executives, managers andworkers who leave government employment and take up the same work as aprivate contractor. But agency leaders once engaged in awarding contractsare barred from then seeking contracts from the same agency.If a former intelligence center's employee recruited an ex-colleague onbehalf of a private contractor such as MZM, the recruiter's status and rankwould be factors in determining whether an ethics violation had occurred.Neither the senior Rich nor his son have responded to telephone calls ande-mails from The Washington Post. MZM did not respond to repeated requestsfor comment.The NGIC is a critical Army intelligence center with a staff of 900,three-quarters of whom are civilian scientists, engineers and intelligenceanalysts. The other one-quarter are active military.Most NGIC employees work at a relatively new facility near Charlottesville,where they produce the Army's primary intelligence analyses of foreignarmies, their force structures and capabilities. Others conduct scientificand technical studies on foreign weapons and technologies.The NGIC, which is facing an inquiry by the director of nationalintelligence for its prewar mistakes in analyzing Iraq's weapons programs,has been drawn into the federal investigations of MZM, according to Army andJustice Department spokesmen.The NGIC was criticized in March by the Silberman-Robb presidentialcommission for "gross failure" in its analysis of Iraqi arms. The commissionsaid the center was "completely wrong" when it found in September 2002 thatthe aluminum tubes Iraq was purchasing were "highly unlikely" to be used forrocket motor cases.That inaccurate finding bolstered a CIA contention that the tubes were meantfor nuclear centrifuges and were evidence that Iraqi President SaddamHussein was reconstituting a nuclear weapons program.

"UntilU.S. officials leaked the arrest of Muhammad Naeem Noor Khan to reporters,Pakistan had been using him in a sting operation to track down al-Qaedaoperatives around the world," reported CNN at the time. The United Statesapologized for the leaks, which put a premature end to "a big MI5 and policesurveillance operation in Britain."After the bombing attacks on London's transit system last week, theblogosphere bristled with questions about whether there was any connection.Then ABC News reports on Friday that this al Qaeda plot was two years in themaking. Juan Cole at Informed Comment notes:The British had been preparing a set of indictments and pursuing theinvestigation, in part by using Khan. They were forced to move before theywere ready. Some suspects escaped on hearing Naeem Noor Khan's in the media.Of those who were arrested, several had to be released for lack of evidenceagainst them. Muhammad Sadique Khan, one of the July 7 bombers, wasapparently connected to one of the suspects under surveillance in earlyAugust, 2004.Sadique Khan had earlier eluded a large British counter-terrorism sweep,Operation Crevice, says Friday's Scotsman.Cole also flagged a French news account (in English) from statements byNicolas Sarkozy, French interior minister:[A]mongst the five who escaped from the operation was Mohammad [Sadique]Khan, one of the alleged suicide bombers who struck on the LondonUnderground. This Briton of Pakistani descent has been on the list ofScotland Yard's "targets" for the last 15 months, only with a different ageand a different first name - Kayoun instead of Sidique, but "it's the sameman" who gave the police the slip.While the French newspaper Libération notes the denial from British HomeSecretary Charles Clarke, The Scotsman reports "British officials yesterdaypublicly refused to confirm or deny the French report, but privately someadmit that there is evidence that Khan had been in contact with one of themen arrested last year."Not that I want to put on my tinfoil hat (it's so unbecoming), but whyaren't the US media pursuing this: to confirm, refute, or at least askquestions? We already have one case of "senior administrative officials"unmasking an undeniably undercover     CIA operations officer, but we don'thave any idea of the extent of the damage to intel operations or to thelives and safety of real people.

 Giuliani and WTC#7
 Subject: Giuliani and WTC#7


 Giuliani and FEMA had a huge terror exercise drill planned in  
 Manhattan for
 September 12th 2001.
 According to Giuliani the Pier 92 command was 3 times bigger than his
 emergency command center in WTC #7,
 which was demolished by the FDNY on 9/11. Is it a coincidence that a
 substitute emergency command center was already setup
 seemingly anticipating that WTC #7 would be destroyed?


 From the 9/11 Federal Commission hearing transcript
 http://www.9-11commission.gov/archive/hearing11/index.htm

 Giuliani on FEMA exercise scheduled for 9/12/01 from 9/11  
 commission report
 pg 23

 And the reason Pier 92 was selected as the command center was
 because on the next day, on September 12th, Pier 92 was going to
 have a drill. It had hundreds of people here, from FEMA, from the
 federal government, from the state, from the State Emergency
 Management Office, and they were getting ready for a drill for
 biochemical attack. So that was going to be the place they were
 going to have the drill. The equipment was already there so we
 were able to establish a command center there within three days
 that was two-and-a-half to three times bigger than the command
 center that we had lost at 7 World Trade Center. And it was from
 there that the rest of the search and rescue effort was completed.

 PG 112 of report testimony of Richard Sheirer, OEM commissioner
 on Giuliani placing OEM in WTC #7, the place in the US the Feds most
 expected a terrorist attack:

 So along those lines, Mr. Sheirer, I've got a question
 for you, a question for the other two commissioners. I'll be
 very brief. For you, Commissioner Sheirer, there was a decision
 made to locate the Office of Emergency Management at the World
 Trade Center building 7, right in the nest of where the
 terrorists had struck in 1993. Why put it in one of the most
 likely places where people are going to come back and hit us
 again and where it could be knocked out and not help us save
 lives? That's the first question.

 112
 MR. SHEIRER: First I just want to make a quick
 comment. I think I speak for all of us that you're speaking to
 the choir. We lived through this. We know these families. We
 lost friends and colleagues. Nobody here feels as strongly
 about this other than the people behind us who lost their loved
 ones than we three do. On the issue of the location of the OEM,
 I was not involved with that decision.
 MR. ROEMER: Did you agree with it?
 MR. SHEIRER: You're going to have the opportunity--
 MR. ROEMER: Did you agree with it?
 MR. SHEIRER: You're going to have the opportunity to
 ask the person who's most responsible for that--questions about
 it tomorrow. I did not agree with it. I will tell you why I did
 not agree with it. I did not agree with it for the very reasons
 that you said. I did not agree with it simply because it was on
 the 23rd floor of a building. And do I look like a guy that
 wants to walk up 23 flights?
 (Laughter.)
 You know, and tell me that the elevator's going to
 work. Yeah, Murphy was an optimist. It'll work. It won't work
 the time I'm walking up 23 flights. OEM should be located in a
 hardened and secured location. I understand the reasoning for
 putting it there, to get it there quickly. It was the most
 technologically advanced center. When I became director, I will
 tell you there was no better emergency operations center. None.
 None in the world. The military came there, everybody came
 there. I have to give Jerry a lot of credit.

[cia-drugs] SECRET KNOWLEDGE

2005-07-17 Thread RoadsEnd
http://www.defensetech.org/archives/001685.htmlSECRET KNOWLEDGEThe Army has picked Lockheed Martin to manage its massive intranet, called Army Knowledge Online. The service started the thing a few years ago to provide soldiers with an Internet portal that offered e-mail, easy access to records and other information. In recent years, though, it's become somewhat difficult to manage, so the service is switching gears, choosing Lockheed Martin to integrate it all.AKO has a dark side, though. Since 9/11, especially, it's become an easy place for the service to keep information from the prying eyes of reporters and the public. And we're not talking top-secret or even sensitive stuff, either; routine, even mundane info often gets locked away.Take this site, for example. It's the home page for the branch of the Army responsible for buying weapons and other stuff with the billions of taxpayer dollars provided the service each year.Right in the middle of the page you'll see a list of documents that appear about as sensitive as the average dry-cleaning ticket. But most are behind the AKO firewall. And way down on the left, there's something called a "PEO-PM" list -- the names and numbers of the program managers who steer Army weapon systems. That was publicly available for years, but now can't be seen by anyone without a .mil IP address.Also available for years was a monthly Army acquisition newsletter containing routine announcements; that's gone, too. (I read it every month when it was accessible, and I can attest it was the exact opposite of sensitive.)There are countless other examples, including this one, noted by estimable Steve Aftergood. And perhaps the biggest loss to the public were countless documents -- all unclassified -- once available via the Center for Army Lessons Learned.The Army's not alone, of course; the other services and the Pentagon in general are keeping far more information behind electronic firewalls than ever before. And it's not all post-9/11, either; even under Clinton, the Internet was treated by the military as a whole new ballgame, where even unclassified information was suddenly deemed sensitive and pulled from view. The most egregious example is the annual report of the Defense Department's top testers. The director of operational test and evaluation is charged by law with holding the Pentagon's feet to the fire when it comes to testing the military equipment it fields. And the annual report -- which is unclassified and available in hard copy to anyone who asks for it -- is chock-full of information on the status of every major system the military develops, buys and fields. But after 2001, the Pentagon decided it couldn't be put online. (The latest can be found here, with a price tag.)"This kind of secrecy doesn't have anything to do with protecting national security," says Aftergood. "It's all about the military's bureaucratic desire to evade outside scrutiny. So while spending keeps going up, oversight is coming down."-- posted by Dan DupontJuly 15, 2005 12:42 PM | Info WarCommentsThis does seem bad - but is it any worse than normal European (especially British) information availability?Posted by: Tom at July 15, 2005 04:04 PMStill waiting for the DoD sanctioned P2P network to counter those See-What-You-Share type of disclosures. The Air Force is trying the same thing with their portal as well, but after the rank and file see a few those standing around them go down in flames after doing something stupid in one of the "authorized" web based chat rooms... well, let's just say that uptake has slowed down.Posted by: anonymous troll at July 17, 2005 07:12 AM

The Bishop and the Boys - Part One

The number of American clergy or misionaries [sic] used by the CIA  
has been small. The CIA has informed the Committee of a total of 14  
covert arrangements which involved direct operational use of 21  
individuals. In six or seven cases, the CIA paid salaries, bonuses,  
or expenses to the religious personnel, or helped to fund projects  
run by them.
-- The Domestic Impact of Foreign Clandestine Operations: The CIA and  
Academic Institutions, the Media, and Religious Institutions,  
(Section X of the Church Report), p. 202

In 2001, investigative journalist Daniel Hopsicker published Barry  
and the Boys: The CIA, The Mob and America's Secret History. One of  
the first authors to concentrate on the life and times of Barry Seal  
( a dope smuggler and CIA operative who began his career as a cadet  
in the Civil Air Patrol with such dubious luminaries as Lee Harvey  
Oswald and David Ferrie) he also explored the gun-running career of  
David Ferrie himself in the same volume. It is a book full of new  
information on Seal, Ferrie, and the anti-Castro Cubans of Miami, as  
well as on the mysterious goings-on at Mena, Arkansas. He followed  
this up with the publication, in 2004, of Welcome to Terrorland:  
Mohamed Atta and the 9/11 Cover-Up in Florida, a book about the  
terror attacks that should be on everyone?s bookshelf.

But there is another aspect to Ferrie that has so far escaped most  
modern investigators and researchers, probably because it is just too  
weird ... even for conspiracy theorists and Congressional  
subcommittees. This is the area of his life we might term the  
spiritual.

Since it is our intention to investigate the spirituality of our most  
notorious political figures and the religio-mystical ambiance in  
which both covert and overt policy is planned and executed, we can  
have no better starting point than the life and times of David  
Ferrie. Ferrie will lead us to Jack Martin, to Thomas Edward Beckham,  
to Fred Lee Crisman, to Thomas Jude Baumler, to Carl Stanley (now  
Saint Christopher Maria), to Walter Propheta and, eventually, right  
back to J. Edgar Hoover himself. It will also lead us to William  
Bryan, the hypnotist suspected of complicity in the assassination of  
Senator Robert F Kennedy. It will also lead us to the Iran-Contra  
affair. It will also lead us to the civil war in the former  
Yugoslavia and ethnic cleansing.

This is the world of the wandering bishops and, gentle reader, you  
will only hear about this from me. No one else has covered this  
story. No one else has delved very far into the shadowy world where  
intelligence agents and archbishops meet. Although I was there, and  
saw some of this first hand, I will base most of what is told in  
these pages on the documents themselves: Warren Commission records,  
FBI interviews, HSCA documentation, etc. It's all there, if you know  
where to look.

Because of the separation of church and state guaranteed by our  
Constitution, it is easy for anyone in America to set up their own  
church. In countries where there is a state religion this is  
virtually impossible. In other countries, such as Mexico, we find  
laws enacted that curtail the practice of religion in certain ways.  
And in communist countries, the free expression of any form of  
religion is frowned upon or outlawed altogether.

But in America...

Some of the world?s newest faiths were created out of whole cloth in  
the United States. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints --  
better known as the Mormons -- was an invention of Joseph Smith, Jr.,  
a ceremonial magician who combined myths about the Indian burial  
mounds, the lost tribes of Israel, and Masonic ritual into a unique  
amalgam of Christianity, Judaism, and occultism. The Spiritualist  
church was created out of the experiences of the Fox sisters in  
upstate New York. The Theosophical Society was created in New York  
City in 1875, and out of that was formed the Liberal Catholic Church.  
And so on.

As popular as many of these religions have become, however, there is  
another world of created church about which most people are unaware,  
and properly so: the leaders of these churches often do not  
evangelize. They are not interested in congregations or parishes,  
theology or liturgics. They have other agendas, and the clerical  
collar and pectoral cross of the clergyman serve to disguise and  
obscure actions and projects that have far-ranging historical and  
political repercussions.

These men (and some women) have been found involved in everything  
from the assassination of a president to the assassination of his  
brother, to Iran-Contra. And they are with us today, changing  
denominations, titles, and even names like sacerdotal chameleons as  
they shape-shift through the political landscape. Their story is told  
in some detail in Sinister Forces, Book One: The Nine (and nowhere  
else). 

[cia-drugs] An Utterly Fascinating Book.

2005-07-22 Thread RoadsEnd


 http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0975290622/ref=pd_ecc_rvi_1/103-4859868-5914262?%5Fencoding=UTF8v=glanceAn Utterly Fascinating Book., July 22, 2005Peter Levenda poses a series of provocative questions in the Introduction to his utterly fascinating new book, Sinister Forces: A Grimoire of American Political Witchcraft, the first volume in a series of three. "To what degree does mysticism (including occultism, religious organizations, and secret societies) influence politics? Can it be demonstrated that there is no real separation of church and state, despite most Americans' belief?" Can it be revealed that the "world's political leaders are motivated by (at times bizarre and outrageous) religious or spiritual convictions, thus threatening" the "very nature of the American way of life?"  In answering these questions, Levenda-who first got his feet thoroughly wet in esoteric matters with his earlier book, Unholy Alliance, a frightening portrait of obsession and involvement with the occult by Hitler and the Nazis-delved deeply into often overlooked and ignored historical files and archives. Indeed, his research spanned nearly three decades and multiple cities, states, and countries, an arduous undertaking, to say the least.  And in the process a strange thing happened to Levenda: He encountered what some writers refer to as the "Coincidence Goblin," a peculiar and recurring phenomena by which one experiences odd and disconcerting coincidences, which quickly lead into still odder coincidences until one gets the overwhelming and unshakeable sense that one has been ordained by some invisible higher power to write his or her book because he or she is part and parcel with it. Other writers brush off this bizarre occurrence as an unavoidable consequence of any serious research into subjects that concern the occult, or those sinister forces that always seen to be at play in worldly affairs.  Writers of authoritative volumes, old and new, that deal with the esoteric occasionally publicly remark about their disconcerting experiences related to occult-related research recalling very unusual happenings ranging form long sought-after books mysteriously falling off a library shelf before them to phantom-like visitors from the past or future who appear to share prized knowledge with them. Some writers have found it extremely difficult to cope with such occurrences and have been driven to the edges of sanity and beyond.  James Webb, a dashing and brilliant British historian, whose books and writings bear a strong resemblance to Levenda's, is but one sad example. Webb, who wrote two masterful volumes on the impact of the occult, or irrationalism as some would have it, on world affairs, killed himself not long after he completed a third book. According to those close to Webb, the once highly skeptical historian who scoffed at the occult did a complete reversal and concluded there were hidden and secret dimensions of reality that few ever glimpsed. Webb had visions of alternative worlds and said he had "seen molecules." Writer Gary Lachman reported in Fortean Times, "Webb tried to fit what was happening to him into some system, calling on Gnostic notions of `aeons' and Hindu accounts of `kalpas.'"  Webb's extraordinary experiences were uncannily close to those of Jacob Boehme, the great Protestant mystic who lived in the late 1500s. In what sounds very much like a modern UFO encounter, Boehme at the age of twenty-five witnessed "a dark metal dish in the sky" which reflected sunlight and whose brightness drove Boehme into a state of mind closely resembling that of an LSD or Ecstasy trip. He reported that he felt he was peering straight into the heart of all nature, of the very universe, and that he suddenly understood the world completely and was fully aware of its full meaning and purpose. Later Boehme was attacked from the pulpit of his church by a pastor who pointed him out and screamed, "Get thee behind me, Satan."  Astute readers, at this juncture, may also recall other questionable "suicides" by writers who researched secret matters, perhaps the timeliest ones being those of Danny Casalaro, Gary Webb, Mark Lombardi, and J.T. Hatfield, four dissimilar journalists who took headlong and fatal plunges into the netherworld of the CIA and drug trafficking, and other related matters. Readers may also recall the bizarre experiences of speculative fiction writer Philip K. Dick. Dick, before his untimely death at the age of 54, had amazing and mystical encounters that defy explanation.  Ioan Couliano, an acclaimed religious scholar who specialized in Gnostic studies, observed that Dick's books were rooted in Jewish-Christian apocalyptic literature. (Couliano's murder in 1991 remains unsolved to this day.)  Then, of course, there is Colin Wilson, perhaps the very first writer to really take serious note of the oddities that often plague individuals who dabble in the occult. Wilson, often belittled by critics, is in

In that context, Karl Rove's casualconversation with the media about a covert operative's identity is at leastoutrageous and perhaps akin to treason.Yet Mr. Cohen chalks it up to politics as usual, and even lends credence toMr. Rove's claim that he should be excused from blame because he did notactually say Ms. Plame's name.If Robert D. Novak could find out Ms. Plame's name so easily, perhaps basedon Mr. Rove's disclosure, how hard would it be for this nation's enemies todo the same?Mr. Cohen demonstrated an ignorance of the CIA's culture and made light of adeadly serious matter.PHYLLIS BOOKRockvilleI don't agree with staff writers Jim VandeHei and Mike Allen when they saythat the most important element of the Valerie Plame affair is, "Did anyonecommit a crime?" [front page, July 17].A judge decided that President Bill Clinton committed a crime when hedenied, under oath, having a sexual relationship. But that fact was muchless important than the president's dishonest statements to the Americanpeople about his affair and the long, national distraction of the multipleinvestigations that eventually led to Mr. Clinton's impeachment.Likewise, the question of whether administration conduct meets the technicaldefinition of criminality is not the most important. The important questionsare: Can the public trust the administration on matters as critical as thejustifications for war? Would a senior White House official be willing tocompromise a CIA operative to silence experts on the issue of proliferationof weapons of mass destruction?S.F.

[cia-drugs] Fwd: From Rove to Rice to POTUS -- Bringin' Down the White House

2005-07-28 Thread RoadsEnd

 http://www.counterpunch.org/morris07272005.html

 July 27, 2005, CounterPunch
 Condoleezza Rice
 is at the Center
 of the Plame Scandal

 The Source Beyond Rove
 By ROGER MORRIS
 Former NSC staffer
 We don't want the smoking gun to be a mushroom cloud.
 snip
 The chronology will no doubt continue to expand in the days and  
 weeks ahead.
 There may well be a ticking time-bomb in the Grand Jury  
 investigation of the
 Plame leak that goes beyond anything we now envision. In earlier  
 findings in
 cases of reporters refusing to testify, DC Circuit Judge, David  
 Tatel, a
 distinguished jurist known for his devotion to civil liberties and  
 especially press
 freedoms, had stoutly maintained a federal privilege for the media,  
 shielding
 it from being compelled to testify except under the most exceptional
 conditions. But in then later joining his colleagues in ordering  
 Cooper and the New York
 Times' Judith Miller to testify, Tatel reviewed extensive secret  
 information
 from the prosecutor, devoted eight blacked-out pages of his  
 judgment to the
 material, and concluded that the privilege he had upheld throughout  
 his career
 as a lawyer and judge had to give way before the gravity of the  
 suspected
 crime.  No other element of the scandal bodes so ill for the Bush  
 regime.
 There is also the intriguing relationship between John Bolton, the  
 regime's
 stymied appointee to the UN, and Judith Miller, the New York Times
 correspondent sent to jail for contempt in refusing to divulge her  
 sources on Plame even
 for a story she never wrote. Bolton's close relationship to Miller,  
 in which
 many suspect the right-wing lobbyist handed the reporter much of  
 the fraudulent
 accounts of Iraqi weaponry that ended up on the front page of the  
 Times, may
 well have encompassed as well the passing of information from the  
 INR memo on
 Plame, which Bolton saw before Powell or even Rice.
 Then, too, as the Progressive Review's Sam Smith and Counterpunch's  
 Alexander
 Cockburn have pointed out from their lonely perch of substance and
 perspective atop what's left of American journalism, there is, in  
 the end, much less to
 the whole story than meets the eye. In their too obvious relish of  
 celebrity,
 Wilson and Plame as heroes are as dubious as the Niger letters. The  
 CIA, and
 the Presidents who used it as a private mafia, account for a more than
 half-century history far more catastrophic than a legion of seedy  
 Roves and Libbys or
 even multiple Bush regimes. Relentlessly corrupt, inept,  
 anachronistic, if
 ever an institution deserved to be outed and prosecuted in its  
 numbers, it is
 our vastly bloodstained intelligence agency. But as so often in  
 politics, we
 are left with the lesser, still needed reckoning at hand.
 And in that, of course, the larger issue beyond Plame is the Bush  
 regime's
 Big Lie behind the invasion of Iraq, in which the phantom Nigerien  
 yellowcake
 was an important malignant element. No government since World War  
 II has more
 blatantly invented the pretext for waging a war of aggression. The  
 Rove and
 Libby collusion only begins to peel away the layers of the crime.  
 Rice is the next
 skein to be pulled.
 Her manifest failures in the fateful months before 9/11 in meeting the
 principal responsibilities of the National Security Advisor-the  
 sheer incompetence
 and shallowness that left so much intelligence uncoordinated, so  
 much neglected
 or misunderstood-should have been enough to have run her from  
 public office
 long ago, of course, were it not for her hold on this tragically  
 flawed
 president, and her deplorable immunity amid the chronic political  
 cowardice of both
 the Democrats and the media.
 Now, however, [Rice's] role in the Plame scandal cannot be ignored or
 excused. She alone among senior officials was knowing and  
 complicitous at every
 successive stage of the great half-baked yellow cake fraud. She  
 alone was the White
 House peer-and in national security matters the superior-to Rove  
 and Libby,
 who never could have acted without her collusion in peddling  
 Plame's identity.
 She as much as anyone had a stake in smearing Wilson by any and all  
 means at
 hand. If Rove and Libby are to be held criminally or at least  
 politically
 accountable for a breach of national security, our mushroom cloud  
 secretary of
 state should certainly be in the dock with them.

Senate MajorityLeader Bill Frist has blocked a vote on a bipartisan bill legalizing drugimportation from Canada. Last month the Senate Republican Policy Committeemaintained that imported drugs--10 million of which entered the US in2004--"cannot be a viable option." This despite the fact that PresidentBush's own report on drug re-importation conceded that Canadian imports aresafe, and the Congressional Budget Office estimated that legalizedimportation could "reduce total prescription drug expenditures in the US byabout $40 billion" over the next nine years.As if pumping $759 billion into lobbying Congress since 1998--more than anyother industry--wasn't enough, big pharma has enlisted "America's Mayor"Rudy Giuliani to stamp a terror alert on the importation fight. "As thenation tightens its borders against possible future terrorist attacks, itrisks undermining security and safety by opening them up to non-FDAprescription drugs," said a Giuliani Partners report released in April. ThePharmaceutical Research and Manufactures of America, the industry's DClobbying arm, conveniently underwrote the study. If it kills the drugcompany's profits, it'll kill you too.High-profile shill for big pharma is just one role among many for TycoonRudy and his blossoming security consulting firm. "The client list oftenreads like the list of witnesses before Congressional committees in some ofthe highest-profile corporate crises of the last few years," the New YorkObservor wrote. "Along with Entergy Nuclear Northeast, which owns the IndianPoint nuclear plant, they include the manufacturers of the painkillerOxyContin, which had become popular as a recreational drug; thescandal-plagued National Thoroughbred Racing Association; and apharmaceutical-industry trade group, for which Mr. Giuliani produced a studysuggesting that imported prescription drugs may be dangerous."Add to that list the Houston-based law firm Bracewell  Pattersonhttp://www.grist.org/news/muck/2005/04/08/little-giuliani/index.html--remamed Bracewell  Giuliani after Rudy came on board as a partner inMarch--whose big oil and energy clients have included Enron, ChevronTexacoand the utility lobby. And DNA Applied Sciences,http://www.usatoday.com/money/companies/management/2005-03-17-dna-usat_x.htma tech company with a history of securities-related charges, hired GiulianiPartners with "no cash for operations and no customers" USA Today reported.After suffering $35 million in loses between 2002 and 2004, the company gaveGiuliani's firm $2 million and 21 million shares worth $10 million at thetime. Following the announcement, Applied's stock jumped 268 percent. "Ithas all the markings of something Giuliani himself would have looked into asUS attorney in the old days," said former federal prosecutor StephenMeagher.Moreover, Rudy's lavish speaking fees are also starting to raise eyebrows.Last February, the South Carolina Hospital Association booked Giuliani as aspeaker, at his usual $100,000 rate. When the tsunami hit South Asia at thesame time, the Hospital instead held a fundraiser for the victims. But Rudycame anyway, and pocketed his fee--which organizers later demanded back. Helater earned a staggering $230,000 to speak at the Queen Elizabeth HospitalResearch Foundation in Adelaide, Australia, for a benefit that raised only$15,000 total.Is this the post-Mayoral record Rudy plans to run on in '08?http://todaysseniorsnetwork.com/guiliani_sells_out.htmAmerica's Seniors NetworkGiuliani hired by drug industryPublisher's Note:  Former NY Mayor Giuliani is following the path of otherswho have served the large pharmaceutical manufacturers--the road to easyriches, large fees and lackey for the drug companies.  In so doing, he joinsformer Congressman Tauzin (see our story on how the former Representativestood ready to gain a $2 million dollar salary from the Pharmaceuticalindustry as a reward for  his work on the flawed Medicare Prescription DrugCard, but then backed down in the face of public pressure...click here).Perhaps the Mayor, who made his reputation for leadership in the aftermathof the Sept. 11 tragedy in New York will also be a consultant for his newbusiness associates in helping them clean their own  house--read about thepharma law suits and more than $19 billion in fines and settlements, clickhere--or perhaps he will talk to respected seniors' leaders such as GaryPassmore of the California Congress of Seniors who called Canadianpharmacies safer than those in the US...click here for story.  But, we doubtit.  It seems that there was another victim of the 9-11

The alleged smuggling occurred betweenApril 2003 and March 2005.Facing courts-martial are Staff Sgt. Daniel Rosas, 23; Staff Sgt. Victor J.Portales, 24; Spc. Francisco Rosa, 25; and Staff Sgt. Kelvin G.Irizarry-Melendez, 26. Fort Bliss officials wouldn't provide the soldiers'hometowns but said they are from Texas and Puerto Rico. Portales has familyin Brownsville, and a person by Rosas' name has connections in Puerto Rico.All are assigned to the 204th Military Intelligence Battalion, which isstationed at Fort Bliss."Their mission is to assist the Colombian government in surveillance anddetection of drugs within the country," Fort Bliss spokeswoman Jean Offuttsaid. "It's a surveillance and intelligence unit."Offutt said the soldiers were on regular rotations in and out of the countrywhen they allegedly smuggled the drugs into the United States and carriedthousands of dollars back to Colombia, apparently to pay for the drugs.Colombian officials could not be reached for comment.Rosas alone faces seven counts of importing illegal drugs. He allegedlybrought in amounts that ranged from about 11 pounds to 44 pounds. Thecharges against him alone account for nearly 180 pounds of cocaine.Also according to the military charge sheets, Rosas carried $224,000 back tothe air base in Colombia in six trips from March 2004 to February 2005 aspart of the smuggling operation. Portales and Irizarry-Melendez are accusedof carrying $48,000 during a trip in late 2004.Rosas and Irizarry-Melendez are charged with distributing cocaine. In eightcounts, Rosas is accused of distributing more than 105 pounds of cocaine inTexas and Louisiana.Planning for the operation allegedly began in March 2003. Portales andIrizarry-Melendez allegedly each put up $2,000 of their own money to buycocaine, and Rosas is accused of putting up an unspecified amount of his ownmoney to buy the drugs.Rosas allegedly located a buyer at one point, and he is charged withdistributing more than 4 pounds of cocaine at Fort Bliss and in San Antonio.Six civilians are mentioned in the charges, but military officials had nofurther information on their status Friday.The soldiers have been charged with conspiracy; making false officialstatements; wrongful use, possession, distribution or importation ofcocaine; and damaging the good order and discipline of the armed forces.Irizarry-Melendez and Rosas face courts-martial in early and late September,and Portales' court-martial will be in early October. A date for Rosas'trial has not been set.General courts-martial allow the most severe punishments, which for thesecharges could include prison time, dishonorable discharge, reduction to alowest enlisted grade, forfeiture of all pay and allowances, and fines.

And they are getting squishier as the use of 'estimates' in company accounts increases ...       "A study by Glass Lewis, a research outfit, found that investors lost well over $900 billion in 30 big [Wall Street] scams between 1997 and 2004."     --The Economist, 28 July 2005      SOX Inspires BacklashSEC to huddle over Sarbanes-OxleyPamela A. MacLeanThe National Law Journal04-13-2005Hundreds of publicly traded companies finished their first, do-or-die year complying with tough new accounting and public disclosure requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The response by big business to regulators has been akin to the Laurel  Hardy catch phrase: "Here's another fine mess you've gotten us into." It has been the kind of year that keeps corporate counsel awake at night. The growing corporate backlash over what they consider excessive cost, duplicative effort and wasted time has caused the Securities and Exchange Commission to take notice. The SEC called for a summit meeting of sorts today in Washington to air the grievances. A survey of 217 publicly traded companies by Financial Executives International found that the average cost for a company to comply was $4.4 million, and for the largest multinational companies it cost more than $10 million. Some 94 percent of those responding thought the costs outweighed the benefits. AN 'UNREASONABLE BURDEN' The significant expenses and diversion of management resources to comply with Sarbanes-Oxley is "an unreasonable burden on publicly traded companies in the United States," wrote Patrick Erlandson, chief financial officer of UnitedHealth Group Inc. to the SEC. But the new rules also have their champions among investor groups who say that last year 560 companies admitted discovering weaknesses in their internal controls. "Investors are just starting to realize the benefits of Sarbanes-Oxley," said directors of the $142 billion Ohio Retirement Systems pension fund in a letter to the SEC. Although there has been a law on the books since 1977, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, that requires good financial controls, hundreds of companies still warned of problems under the new Sarbanes-Oxley disclosure requirements. "Under the 1977 law, the SEC could only take action if it knew the controls were missing and the SEC can't know that unless something blows up," said Lynn Turner, former chief accountant for the SEC and now managing director of research at Glass Lewis  Co. in Broomfield, Colo. The 1977 law required companies to maintain adequate internal controls and report accurate numbers. Sarbanes-Oxley goes farther, saying companies must explain publicly what internal controls it has and do an audit to assess them, Turner explained. The sweeping reforms imposed on corporate America by Sarbanes-Oxley came in response to investor outrage over the corporate frauds that led to the downfall of Enron Corp., WorldCom Inc., Adelphia Communications Corp. and others. Among the 20 major companies under investigation by the SEC, U.S. Department of Justice or Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, shareholder losses totaled $236 billion -- Enron alone accounted for only $25 billion [10%] of it, according to an estimate by private market technician Daniel Chesler. "Investors lost more in Enron alone than [companies] will pay for implementing this reporting at all public companies," said Barbara Roper, director of investor protection for the Consumer Federation of America. "The potential benefits dramatically outweigh the cost." Congress included provisions in § 404 of the law that require companies to document each step of their internal financial reporting controls and hire outside auditors to test the practices, and corporate heads to vouch for the reliability of public financial reports. It is §404 that has stirred up all the fuss. Costs for documenting accounting procedures and hiring outside accountants to look over executives' shoulders and test the accuracy of the procedures have run to millions of dollars more per company than originally predicted. Outside auditing firms, facing government scrutiny for the first time, demanded far more detail from clients than in the past to avoid claims of material weaknesses on financial procedures. That led to disputes over what "material" means in the new post-Sarbanes-Oxley world. Auditors face new liability if they fail to report any potential material misstatements, and that creates tension between top executives and their auditors, according to John Beccia, research director and chief regulatory counsel for the Financial Services Roundtable in

A computer geek faces 70 years in jail for hacking into the top levels of US defence. He tells Jon Ronson how, hooked and stoned, he landed himself in such hot water.In 1983, when Gary McKinnon was 17, he went to see the movie WarGames. In the film, a geeky computer whiz-kid hacks into a secret Pentagon network and, inadvertently, almost instigates World War III. Sitting in the cinema, the teenage McKinnon wondered if he, too, could be a hacker. "Really," I say to him now, " WarGames should have put you off hacking for life.""Well," he replies, "I didn't mean it to actually come true."WarGames ends with the Pentagon officials telling the young nerd how impressed they are with his technical acumen. He's probably going to grow up to have a brilliant career at NASA or the Department of Defence. This is an unlikely scenario for McKinnon. He faces 20 charges in the US, including stealing computer files, obtaining secrets that might have been "useful to an enemy", intentionally causing damage to a protected computer, and interfering with maritime navigation equipment in New Jersey.Last month he attended extradition proceedings at Bow Street Magistrates Court in London. He had, the USprosecutors said, perpetrated the "biggest military computer hack of all time". He "caused damage and impaired the integrity of information. The US military district of Washington became inoperable and the cost of repairing the shutdown was $US700,000 [$932,500]." These hacking attacks occurred immediately after September 11, 2001, they said. This is McKinnon's first interview. He called me out of the blue last week, just as I was screaming at my child to stop knocking on people's doors and running away. "Your son sounds like a hacker," he said. Then he invited me to his home in Bounds Green, north London.He is good-looking, funny, slightly camp, nerdy, a chain-smoker - and terrified. "I'm walking down the road and I find I can't control my own legs," he says. "And I'm sitting up all night thinking about jail and about being arse-f---ed. And, remember, according to them I was making Washington inoperable 'immediately after September 11'."I'm having all these visions of … " McKinnon puts on a redneck prisoner voice, "'What you doing attacking our country, boy? Pick up that soap.' Yeah, it is absolutely f---ing terrifying."The sentence the US Justice Department is seeking - should McKinnon be extradited - is up to 70 years. What McKinnon was hunting for, as he snooped around NASA, and the Pentagon's network, was evidence of a UFO cover-up.McKINNON was born in Glasgow in 1966. His parents separated when he was six and he moved to London with his mother and stepfather, a bit of a UFO buff. "He comes from Falkirk," McKinnon says, "and just outside Falkirk there's a place called Bonnybridge, which is the UFO capital of the world. When he lived there, he had a dream that he was walking around Bonnybridge seeing huge ships. He told me this and it inflamed my curiosity. He was a great science-fiction reader. So, him being my second father, I started reading science-fiction, too, and doing everything he did."McKinnon read Isaac Asimov and Robert Heinlein - "the golden age of science-fiction". When he was 15 he joined Bufora, the British UFO Research Association, which describes itself as "a nationwide network of [about] 300 people who have a dedicated, non-cultist interest in understanding the wide-ranging extent of the UFO enigma".Then he saw WarGames, and he thought: "Can you really do it? Can you really gain unauthorised access to incredibly interesting places? Surely it can't be that easy." And so, in 1995, he gave it a try.He sat in his girlfriend, Tamsin's, aunt's house in Crouch End, and he began to hack. McKinnon was looking for - and found time and again - network administrators in high levels of the US government and military establishments who hadn't bothered to give themselves passwords. That's how he got in.He did a few trial runs, hacking into Oxford University's network, for example, and he found the whole business "incredibly exciting. And then it got more exciting when I started going to places where I really shouldn't be.""Like where?" I ask."The US Space Command," he says.And so, for the next seven years, on and off, McKinnon sat in that aunt's house, a joint in the ashtray and a can of Foster's next to the mouse pad, and he snooped. From time to time, some NASA scientist sitting at his desk somewhere would see his cursor move for no apparent reason. On those occasions, McKinnon's connection would be cut. This would never fail to freak out the then-stoned McKinnon.When I ask if he is brilliant, he says no. He's just

[cia-drugs] Fwd: Bombing Mastermind Aswat Works for MI-6

Begin forwarded message:From: "Robert Lederman" [EMAIL PROTECTED]Date: August 5, 2005 4:56:41 AM PDTTo: "Robert Lederman" [EMAIL PROTECTED]Subject: Bombing Mastermind Aswat Works for MI-6 FWD:http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=viewArticlecode=NIM20050803articleId=794August 5, 2005Bombing Mastermind Aswat Works for MI-6by Kurt NimmoAugust 3, 2005One Day in the EmpireAs Fox News tells it, at the very moment the British police were supposedlylooking high and low for Dewsbury resident Haroon Rashid Aswat, pegged asthe London bombing "mastermind," MI-6 was quietly stowing him away for safekeeping. In fact, they were protecting him as an asset, although we shouldnot expect Fox News to admit this "embarrassing" fact (watch this Foxvideo). "The Times said Aswat was believed to have had a ten-yearassociation with militant groups, and met Osama bin Laden at [a CIA-ISIbuilt] al-Qaida training camp in Afghanistan," Breaking News reported almosttwo weeks ago. "The newspaper said it had obtained FBI documents indicatinghe was sent to America in 1999 where he had firearms and poison training."According to MI-5 counter-intelligence whistleblower David Shayler, "MI-6 isin bed with al Qaeda," which of course makes perfect sense since al-Qaeda isa masterfully engineered intelligence contrivance (a fake terrorist frontorganization created through a collaboration between the CIA, ISI, and MI-6)designed to discredit Islam, sow violence and chaos, and bury anypossibility of pan-Arab nationalism-or, as the Grand Chessboard masterZbigniew Brzezinski writes, "to prevent collusion and maintain securitydependence among the vassals, to keep tributaries pliant and protected, andto keep the barbarians from coming together."In 2002, "Tony Blair . ordered a D-Notice [an institutionalized method ofcensorship, short for short for Defense Notices] on British media reportinggovernment officials signing court gag orders. This regards the case offormer MI5 officer David Shayler, who has evidence to prove MI6 gave£100,000 to bin Laden and Al-Qaeda," Paul Joseph Watson noted, citing anarticle published in the Guardian. Another famous Londonistan radical, AbuQatada (accused of being a key al-Qaeda member) was sheltered in a safehouse in northern England by MI-6, the BBC reported in 2002. And then thereis the story of British intelligence forking out large sums of money to "anal-Qaeda cell in Libya in a doomed attempt to assassinate Colonel Gadaffi in1996 and thwarted early attempts to bring Osama bin Laden to justice," theLondon Observer reported in November, 2002.In the non-Bushzarro world, Britain would be placed on the State Department's list of nations supporting international terrorism (and attacked like Iraqwas, although Iraq did not shelter terrorists). For instance, Britainprovided "exceptional leave" to the Saudi expatriate Mohammed al-Massari,the head of the London-based Committee for the Defense of Legitimate Rights,after he declared as "intellectually justified" the attack on a U.S.military barracks in Dharan, Saudi Arabia, killing 19 American soldiers.Gamaa al-Islamiya (Islamic Group), the terrorist organization responsiblefor killing 62 tourists in Luxor, Egypt, was provided political asylum inBritain and numerous efforts by the Egyptian government to have membersextradited were denied. The Algerian Armed Islamic Group, responsible forthe assassination of Algerian President Mohamed Boudiaf on June 29, 1992,has its international headquarters in London. In addition, various othergroups-including the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, Hamas, the KurdishWorkers Party, al-Jihad, and others-operate out of the United Kingdomunmolested.For Fox News, the presence of Haroon Rashid Aswat and radical clerics inBritain is nothing short of "appeasement," when in fact it is part andparcel of a deliberate policy to undermine Islamic countries and discreditArab nationalism, a long-standing effort to keep the "Mideast pot boiling,"as Joseph Brewda characterizes British intelligence-terrorist operations."There is every reason to believe," writes Webster Griffin Tarpley, "thatLondon is one of the main recruiting grounds for patsies, dupes, fanatics,double agents, and other roustabouts of the terrorist scene" (9/11:Synthetic Terror, p. 156)."British intelligence nurtures and cultivates-as it learned to do during itsofficial colonial days and as it did with stunning success in southern Sudanfor instance-an identity based on rigid ethnic or religious lines thatfixates on the alleged difference between the victim population andperceived 'enemy' populations," writes Linda de Hoyos. "In Africa, Britishintelligence focuses on stirring up tribal conflicts. In the Indiansubcontinent, it focuses on religious or caste or ethnic differences. In theCaucasus and Balkans, religious and ethnic differences are played upon. Inthe global strategic arena, the British field such concepts as 'clash ofcivilizations'"..

Spring cleaning, literally.  Them Aye-rabs ain't trustworthy in the first place ... look at the price of oil for all we done for them.  If the region was stablised, it would be more dangerous.  Spending money means jobs and, more importantly, profits for all them hard-working investor stiffs.  Pork?  Who don't like ribs?  Aye-rabs?  Who else?Needless to say, it depends on who's asking the questions, how they're asked, and who's answering, the levels of understanding and bias, all of which contribute to a valid poll.  The administration may just look at the numbers and sigh, realising that in spite of the public's views, they still just don't get it.  Oil is still on the petroDollar and not on the petroEuro and that means "we" won.  Iran, with its new "oil bourse," will lose in the next bout.  Using the politically inspired (ir)rationales for taking "violent extremist" actions against supposed foes can use the same list as above when evaluating the results.  Change "Aye-rabs" to "Purrzheeuhns" and wait for the virtual reality shows to start!  The news just ain't the same unless there's a well-scripted war on!~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ AlamaineGrand Forks, ND, US of A

In 1993, the bomb used in the first WTC attack was cookedby the FBI and the driver was under their instruction. It was the same storyin 1995 with the destruction of the Alfred P Murrah Building in Oklahoma,again the Feds were implicated, the stooges were under their control. And weknow for a fact that Bin Laden was a protected CIA asset, he even had thecodename Tim Osman.We have previously revealed how former MI5 officer David Shayler hasalleged, and French intel sources have corroborated, that the MI6 paid aLibyan al-Qa'ida cell £100,000 in 1995 to assassinate colonel Qaddafi. Theuse of the group that has come to be known as "Al Qaeda" as assets byIntelligence services the world over is well documented.So It came as little surprise that the so called mastermind of the 7/7London Bombings was in the employ of British Intelligence.The July 29 edition of FOX News Channel's Day Side programme revealed thatHaroon Rashid Aswat, had been working for MI6. Former Justice Dept.prosecutor and Terror expert John Loftus revealed that the Al-Muhajiroungroup, based in London had formed during the Kosovo crisis, during whichFundamentalist Muslim Leaders were recruited by MI6 to fight in Kosovo.Mr Loftus Appeared on The Alex Jones Show earlier this week and revealedeven more detail concerning the case of Aswat and the "War on terror".Although it seemed that Loftus was reluctant to accept that time and timeagain the "failures" of the Intelligence agencies are more than justcoincidence, he had no choice but to verify the stone cold facts that Alexpresented him with during the 20 minute interview.Loftus firstly pointed out that the Israeli services have long known thatBritish Intelligence have allowed Muslim extremists to train and recruit inBritain with the promise of safe haven so long as British interests are keptoff the hit list.Loftus went on to spell out that British Intelligence and the US dept ofJustice had protected Haroon Rashid Aswat before in 1999 when he traveled toAmerica. The Justice Department failed to indict Aswat as he attempted toset up a terrorist training school in Oregon:"His superiors, his subordinates were indicted, not him. The New York officeclaims The British told them he was dead, he wasn't dead he was hiding inSouth Africa." Loftus highlighted.Aswat was then allowed back into Britain just weeks before the bombings eventhough he was on a watch list and was a known terrorist and a wanted man. MrLoftus made this clear in explicit detail:"The only explanation is that the Arab Newspapers were right and this guywas working for the British Secret service."COINCIDENCE?When questioned over the drills that were being operated on 7/7 at the exactsame times and locations as the bombings, Loftus asserted that it "was acoincidence, a lot of those are run, there is no conspiracy there". Yet aswe have reported, the chances of this happening are literally millions toone.Furthermore Loftus suggested that Tony Blair and the British Government hadno knowledge of Aswat and that opportunist bureaucrats in MI6 were to blame.Alex pointed out that even if this was the case there are compartmentalizedcrime groups within the intelligence services that are funding Al Qaedaleaders to attack Western citizens. This equates to Government Sponsoredterror. Loftus could only agree:"Boy you have put your finger right on it there. There are compartmentalizedgroups who engage in crimes. Are these authorized by the Government or is itwink and a nod stuff? We haven't got to the bottom of this yet and a lot ofus are very very concerned."Mr Loftus then reasserted what Alex has been addressing for a long time now,that the whole Al Qaeda Phenomenon began in the mid forties as the CIA wasrecruiting Nazi Arabs. In the mid eighties Loftus himself testified beforeCongress on the illegal use of Nazi war criminals by US intelligence."The Muslim Brotherhood was an Arab Nazi Movement. The CIA shredded all itsfiles on the Muslim Brotherhood, but you can find out what's in them bydoing a google search on two words - Banna and the second word is Nazi.Search those two words and you're gonna find about 20-30 very interestingarticles on how this whole Al qaeda stuff began.

His message was thathe was resigning the Presidency "effective noon tomorrow." It was the fallof a man who had risen in public life under a cloud, and had participated infive national elections on a major party ticket, more than any one elseexcept Franklin Delano Roosevelt. For many who had been opposed to him fromthe beginning, it was a great weight lifted from the country. GB Trudeau hada metaphorical brick wall removed from in front of Doonesbury's White House.    In his speech Nixon acknowledged what had come to be recognized as thereality of impeachment: that it was a constitutional and deliberativeprocess, and, at its root, a means for the American people to determine thedestiny of the Executive. There have been four serious attempts atimpeachment: Clinton and Nixon are both within living memory, and theimpeachment of Andrew Johnson has entered into legend, both because of itsmetaphorical significance, and because the outcome was so decisive forpolitics in America. But the fourth serious attempt is almost forgotten,though it was the model for the Andrew Johnson impeachment: John Tyler.    Tyler is a historical oddity. He was the first President to come tooffice through the death of the President. He was also the first Presidentto be voted out of his own party when the Whigs in Congress expelled him,and all but one member of his cabinet resigned. This made him, arguably, theonly independent to occupy the Oval Office. The Whig Party, formed inresponse to what was perceived as Andrew Jackson's monarchical ways, founditself with a man as hard-willed as Jackson. When Tyler vetoed the Bank ofthe United States, which was the most important policy to the Whig Party, itprecipitated a crisis within American governance.    After expelling Tyler, the Whigs attempted to introduce an amendmentthat would have made a simple majority of Congress capable of over-riding aveto. When this failed, and when they lost control of Congress, they turnedto impeachment, hoping that enough Democrats would join the motion. Thearticles accused Tyler of using the veto wrongly, and of lying to theAmerican public, for abusing his power as President. As later scholars woulddetermine, "high crimes and misdemeanors" is constitutional language for"abuse of power."    The articles of impeachment failed, but they would leave behind a modelwhich would be adopted in Johnson's case. History wasn't quite finished withTyler though: he would also become the first President to have a Vetoover-ridden by Congress, and would end his life by being elected to theConfederate Congress. The man who decided the South was more important thanhis party also decided it was more important than the Union.    Tyler's impeachment was a civil war within the Whig Party. WhileJohnson's impeachment is often cast as the Republicans in Congress against aDemocratic President, the parallel to Tyler is closer than people realize.Lincoln ran in his second term as a "Unionist," as did many members ofCongress. William Henry Harrison of Ohio picked John Tyler, who was aVirginian, to balance the ticket. Twenty years later, the same would be thecase with Lincoln of Illinois choosing Andrew Johnson of Tennessee: aNorthwesterner at the top of the ticket, with a Southerner on the bottom tobalance it. Lincoln was hoping to revive the Whig coalition.    Johnson's battle, like Tyler's, was not merely a conflict of parties,but of the very shape of party politics. Each man had been the hope to bindat least some of the South to a national and progressive ticket, rather thana regional one. Each man faced a hostile Congress when that coalitionfailed.    In the four major attempts at impeachment, the conflict has been overthe mandate of an Executive against the mandate of Congress. Each one wasthe result of a "broken election," where conflicting mandates were createdby the electorate. Under the Constitution the President or the Congress canbe the center of power, but it is not possible for both to be dominant atthe same time. There have been nine attempts at impeachment all together; ineach case a Congress attempted to hold an Executive who had, rightly orwrongly, lost the faith of the electorate.    Looking at those who have faced such charges, one thing unifies all ofthem: they were all headstrong Presidents who collided with legislaturesthat had a very different vision of the public good and the public trust.    In his book Warrior King, John Bonifaz lays

Begin forwarded message:From: "Mario Profaca" [EMAIL PROTECTED]Date: August 7, 2005 5:29:00 AM PDTTo: "!SPY NEWS" [EMAIL PROTECTED]Subject: [Spy News] CIA Commander: We Let bin Laden Slip AwayReply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8853000/site/newsweek/Exclusive: CIA Commander: We Let bin Laden Slip AwayNewsweekAug. 15, 2005 issue - During the 2004 presidential campaign, George W. Bushand John Kerry battled about whether Osama bin Laden had escaped from ToraBora in the final days of the war in Afghanistan. Bush, Kerry charged,"didn't choose to use American forces to hunt down and kill" the leader ofAl Qaeda. The president called his opponent's allegation "the worst kind ofMonday-morning quarterbacking." Bush asserted that U.S. commanders on theground did not know if bin Laden was at the mountain hideaway along theAfghan border.But in a forthcoming book, the CIA field commander for the agency'sJawbreaker team at Tora Bora, Gary Berntsen, says he and other U.S.commanders did know that bin Laden was among the hundreds of fleeing Qaedaand Taliban members. Berntsen says he had definitive intelligence that binLaden was holed up at Tora Bora—intelligence operatives had tracked him—andcould have been caught. "He was there," Berntsen tells NEWSWEEK. Asked tocomment on Berntsen's remarks, National Security Council spokesman FrederickJones passed on 2004 statements from former CENTCOM commander Gen. TommyFranks. "We don't know to this day whether Mr. bin Laden was at Tora Bora inDecember 2001," Franks wrote in an Oct. 19 New York Times op-ed. "Bin Ladenwas never within our grasp." Berntsen says Franks is "a great American. Buthe was not on the ground out there. I was."In his book—titled "Jawbreaker"—the decorated career CIA officer criticizesDonald Rumsfeld's Defense Department for not providing enough support to theCIA and the Pentagon's own Special Forces teams in the final hours of ToraBora, says Berntsen's lawyer, Roy Krieger. (Berntsen would not divulge thebook's specifics, saying he's awaiting CIA clearance.) That backs up otherrecent accounts, including that of military author Sean Naylor, who callsTora Bora a "strategic disaster" because the Pentagon refused to deploy acordon of conventional forces to cut off escaping Qaeda and Taliban members.Maj. Todd Vician, a Defense Department spokesman, says the problem at ToraBora "was not necessarily just the number of troops."Berntsen's book gives, by contrast, a heroic portrayal of CIA activities atTora Bora and in the war on terror. Ironically, he has sued the agency overwhat he calls unacceptable delays in approving his book—a standard processfor ex-agency employees describing classified matters. "They're just holdingthe book," which is scheduled for October release, he says. "CIA officers,Special Forces and U.S. air power drove the Taliban out in 70 days.

[cia-drugs] Leak Investigation: An Oversight Issue? (Bones overseer for treason probe))

2005-08-07 Thread RoadsEnd
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8853002/site/newsweek/#storyContinuedLeak Investigation: An Oversight Issue?RELATED STORIES| What's this?• CIA leak case mutates again • Terror Watch: Fallout From Cooper-Miller Case • Gonzales to face tough questions • Terror Watch: Are New Qaeda Threats Serious? • Fitzgerald won't be awed by NFL NewsweekAug. 15, 2005 issue - The departure this week of Deputy Attorney General James Comey, who has accepted the post of general counsel at Lockheed Martin, leaves a question mark in the probe into who leaked the identity of CIA operative Valerie Plame. Comey was the only official overseeing special counsel Patrick Fitzgerald's leak investigation. With Attorney General Alberto Gonzales recused, department officials say they are still trying to resolve whom Fitzgerald will now report to. Associate Attorney General Robert McCallum is "likely" to be named as acting deputy A.G., a DOJ official who asked not to be identified because of the sensitivity of the matter tells NEWSWEEK. But McCallum may be seen as having his own conflicts: he is an old friend of President Bush's and a member of his Skull and Bones class at Yale. One question: how much authority Comey's successor will have over Fitzgerald. When Comey appointed Fitzgerald in 2003, the deputy granted him extraordinary powers to act however he saw fit—but noted he still had the right to revoke Fitzgerald's authority. The questions are pertinent because law-yers close to the case believe the probe is in its final stages. Fitzgerald recently called White House aide Karl Rove's secretary and his former top aide to testify before the grand jury. They were asked why there was no record of a phone call from Time reporter Matt Cooper, with whom Rove discussed the CIA agent, says a source close to Rove who requested anonymity because the FBI asked participants not to comment. The source says the call went through the White House switchboard, not directly to Rove.

[cia-drugs] Patrick Fitzgerald Requests Patricia Cornwell Scandal Material for Grand Jury - Report of Indictments of Pres. Bush and V.P. Cheney

2005-08-10 Thread RoadsEnd


http://bannedinamerica.blogspot.com/TUESDAY, AUGUST 09, 2005Patrick Fitzgerald Requests Patricia Cornwell Scandal Material for Grand Jury - Report of Indictments of Pres. Bush and V.P. CheneyIt's good that U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald, and his staffer Randall (Randy) Samborn (sometimes spelled 'Sanborn' in press reports), have requested from me in the Netherlands, the material involved in the ongoing legal issues with Bush celebrity friend and contributor Patricia Cornwell, and Cornwell's crimes of court fraud, bribery and extortion with U.S. federal judge Robert Payne, who was appointed to office by the Bushes.Internet reports are that Fitzgerald's office, via Randy Samborn, are NOT denying that his grand jury has already secretly "returned" (i.e., charged or issued) indictments against President Bush and Vice President Cheney themselves, as well as others (click here for report).(Note the difference between Fitzgerald's previous public denial that he HIMSELF has issued indictments, and how his office would NOT deny that the "GRAND JURY had returned" indictments against Bush and Cheney - said to be the legally more relevant phrase.)Patrick Fitzgerald is of course Special Prosecutor in the CIA leak case involving Karl Rove and the Bush White House. The CIA requested the criminal investigation, after the leak of the identity of the CIA operative Valerie Plame, in apparent revenge for her husband's criticism of the Bush government.But how far is Fitzgerald really willing to go in exposing corruption in the United States government, in particular its judiciary - does Fitzgerald actually have the courage to go after crimes which are not only tied to President George Bush and his family, but which also involve bribery and fraud among America's federal judges?If Fitzgerald does have more courage than most, the indictment and impeachment of federal judge Robert Payne could be a watershed for the beginning of major American legal reform. The culture of American judicial bribery would be fully exposed to the country and the world, in the trials of the extremely weird celebrity Patricia Cornwell along with Judge Payne.The famous Patricia Cornwell is a longtime friend and financial backer of the Bushes. Cornwell's background with the Bushes, and this scandal with Patricia Cornwell, Judge Payne, and Judge Payne's friends with a phony "First Amendment civil rights charity foundation", is amply described on the web. See scandal summary at the end of the "Patricia Cornwell Biography: Crime, Bribery, Scandal and Mental Illness" online, or in internet newsgroup archives such as Google Groups. The multi-millionaire Patricia Cornwell and her fancy lawyers are tight-lipped and do not deny there are felony crimes with Judge Payne, long described on the internet.Near the time of Cornwell's activities with Judge Payne, Cornwell gave a $1 million gift to the President's mother, Barbara Bush, upon which Cornwell, and Cornwell's female lover of that time, were invited to enjoy themselves at the President Bush estate in Kennebunkport, Maine. Patricia Cornwell is the other half of President Bush's notable gay and lesbian connections, along with gay prostitute James D. "JD" Guckert (a.k.a. "Jeff Gannon") who has visited the White House at odd hours, so many dozens of times.With Cornwell's connections to Bush and also to some FBI agents, Patricia Cornwell has openly boasted she can get away with murdering people (quoted in Vanity Fair). Karl Rove has been involved in this scandal since the spring of 2004, during the last election campaign, as he received files on the Cornwell scandal. John Ashcroft, the former attorney general, may have been involved much earlier than that. Rove's and Ashcroft's e-mails and notes could possibly involve conspiracy to obstruct justice on felony crimes involving Bush's friend Cornwell, as prosecution of these crimes during 2004 would have harmed Bush's campaign.There may be legal action in Europe this autumn against the U.S. government arising out of the Cornwell - Judge Payne activities, which involve illegally banning this writer's freedom of speech, threatening to illegally jail and murder me, and forcing my escape to Europe.(I had criticized Cornwell's fascist activities, and Cornwell funded a fake legal proceeding with Judge Payne, where Judge Payne's friends posed as my lawyers. After a few weeks, with no physical trial, they announced a fake "settlement" where they claimed I agreed to the banning of my own freedom of speech, plus to pay $100,000 plus 18 per cent interest to Judge Payne's friends with the phony "Foundation".Judge Payne's thugs have warned me that I face USA jailing under the illegal orders, and would be murdered in jail, if I don't keep quiet about Cornwell and about the fake trial. The Bush government has continued to support the Judge Payne fraud and extortion for Bush's friend and donor Cornwell.Much to dismay of both Cornwell and the Bush government, I continued my

Naturally it would beGary M. Bald , now executive assistant director for counterterrorism and aman who has testified that he knows precious little about Islam or theMiddle East and does not think it is important to know such things.In his recent testimony in a job discrimination lawsuit, Bald said he gothis terrorism training on the job when he went to the FBI headquarters twoyears ago, according to transcripts obtained by the Associated Press. Whenasked whether he had much knowledge of Middle East culture and history, hesaid: "I wish that I had it. It would be nice."FBI Director Robert S. Mueller III and other top folks said it is leadershipskill, not subject matter knowledge, that's important.Mueller defended the selection of Bald as counterterrorism chief because hehad run the Baltimore field office, which had a terrorism program, and hadrun the Washington sniper shootings investigation. (They've stopped lookingfor that white van.)"Running the office gave him some exposure to terrorism," Mueller testifiedin the lawsuit, according to the AP. "Yes, I think absolutely it would give,contribute to his ability to handle counterterroism."Apparently he was not joking. National Director of Intelligence John D.Negroponte has sign-off authority over the appointment.Well, it won't matter much who gets the job. Most of these folks are said tospend the better part of the day in meetings, jousting over the budget andtrying to figure out how to stick it to the CIA.Next, the Terrorism Counter-CalendarSpeaking of feeling safe, there is a calendar/weekly planner floating aroundin counterterrorism circles that has to be the coolest -- or scariest --calendar around. It's a 5-by-9-inch spiral called "Counterterrorism 2005."(Okay, it took a while to get.)Days of the week are on right-hand pages along with terrorist incidents thatoccurred on those dates. Today, in 1987, for example, "17 November detonatesbomb near a bus with US airmen [in Greece]; 10 injured." Yesterday, in 2002,a "grenade blast kills four and injures 25 at a Christian missionaryhospital in Islamabad."The left-hand page has terrorism facts -- lists and descriptions of deadlychemical and biological agents, maps, summaries of terrorist groups andterrorists of the month -- plus wanted posters of some very nasty-lookingguys. The first is a man listed as Usama bin Ladin , who is "believed to bein Afghanistan. He is left-handed and walks with a cane. CAUTION -- Shouldbe considered armed and dangerous."Then there's September's Sheikh Ahmed Salim Swedan , wanted for the 1998embassy bombings in Africa and other attacks. He "sometimes wears a lightbeard or mustache and has in the past managed a trucking business in Kenya."Or, for June, Faker Ben Abdelazziz Boussora . Boussora, a Canadian thoughtto be involved in possible activities in this country, "has predominatelyprotruding ears and is believed to have a serious pituitary gland illness."The calendar does not say who published it. (Try the NationalCounterterrorism Center.) It's not classified, an intelligence source said,but "it's an internal tool for the counterterrorism community."Maybe someone could flip one over to Bald to bring him up to speed.Leahy Advised, Cohen ConsentedLiberal groups are busily preparing for the confirmation battle over thenomination of Judge John G. Roberts Jr. to the Supreme Court. The fight oflate between Senate Judiciary Committee Democrats and the administration isover Roberts's memos when he was deputy solicitor general from 1989 to 1993.Time is of the essence for the opposition because the committee hearing isto begin Sept. 6.But where's the committee's Democratic chief counsel, Bruce A. Cohen ?Cohen, who is supposed to be working the document request issue, has notbeen seen since around July 31. Turns out he and his family are vacationingin their house in Tuscany, Italy, for a couple of weeks. Groups prepared tolobby senators on the nomination are grousing about being rudderless.We're told Cohen was going to stay and send the family off without him, buthis boss, ranking committee Democrat Patrick J.
