Machiavelli, Chapter 23 How Flatterers Must Be Shunned The Phase III Report Of The U.S. Commission On National Security/21st Century To those Americans who would lash out at your fellow citizens, simply because they worship differently, or dress differently, or look differently than you, there is one word for such behavior: terrorism. Governor Tom Ridge, Director of Homeland Security in his Farewell Address to the Pennsylvania Legislature Most people were utterly unaware of the significance of Bush's new bureacracy. But for anyone watching the advance of police-state policies in America, absolutely nothing could have been more ominous. The Homeland Defense Agency is not a new idea. Conceived by a bi-partisan commission headed by former senators Gary Hart and Warren Rudman, this Clinton-era conception, The Phase III Report Of The U.S. Commission On National Security/21st Century, is nothing less than the framework for a permanent military-bureaucratic American police state. The new Homeland Defense Agency is the lynchpin of a plan that extensively reorganizes both the executive and legislative functions of the U.S. government. Among other things, the plan makes the National Guard a national police force. It extensively federalizes both the study and the work of science, mathematics, and engineering. It creates numerous new sub-bur eaucracies. The Homeland Security agency itself is to be built upon the Federal Emergency Management Agency, with the three organizations currently on the front line of border security -- the Coast Guard, the Customs Service, and the Border Patrol -- transferred to it. The plan calls for the new agency to oversee activities of the Department of Defense, as well as to assume a variety of duties now held by agencies from the Department of Commerce to the FBI. When the plan was announced in January of this year, the media barely covered it, and shortly thereafter, the plan itself, and the government Web site created expressly for it, dropped out of sight. We found the full text of the report at only one location (above). I told you so. * Part I: Colin Powell * Part II: The Department of State * Part III: Condoleezza Rice * Part IV: The National Security Council * Part V: Roderick Paige and the Department of Education * Part VI: The Manhattan Institute and Compassionate Conservatism * Part VII: The Santaigo Plan of Action, the Declaration of Quebec City and the UN Agenda. * Conclusions: It's all over, folks. Our country is gone. Colin Powell From the start of the Year-2000 Election campaign, it seemed that we all knew Colin Powell would become Secretary of State under George W. Bush, whom the polls consistently showed to be ahead. Perhaps it was because Powell had repeatedly refused to run for office, that we knew he could literally have any position in government that he wanted. He didn't even have to be asked. All he ever needed to do was declare what he would accept, and it will be given to him. Never since George Washington has an American citizen been so obsequiously solicited as this. The Keys to the Empire have been laid at Colin Powell's feet and, indeed, they might well have withered like a bouquet of dead roses ere he deigned to pick them up. I suppose you might say that Colin Powell represents the ne plus ultra of affirmative action, a man who permanently resides in a class by himself. He could have been our President, or Senator, or Secretary of the Treasury, or of Commerce, Education,

In a recent report by the London Telegraph and the Inside Fraud Bulletin, the Vatican was named as a top cut out country along with the offshore banking centers of Nauru, Macao, and Mauritius. A cut out country is one whose banking secrecy makes it is all but impossible to trace laundered funds back to their source. The Vatican Bank is desperately resisting a legal action for an accounting of stolen World War II assets in a San Francisco Federal court (Alperin v. Vatican Bank) filed by Serb and Jewish Holocaust survivors. Contrary to the above reports, a declaration filed under penalty of perjury by the Vatican Banks attorney, Franzo Grande Stevens, states in part that the Vatican Banks fundamental purpose is to promote pious acts and that its depositors are essentially limited to Vatican state employees, members of the Holy See, religious orders, and persons who deposit money destined, at least in part, for works of piety. Stevens also declared to the court that the Pope controls the Vatican Bank and that bank records are not retained after ten years. It seems that the Vatican Bank, a major illegal money laundering operation, is hiding behind the benign image of John Paul II. Given the Vatican Banks alleged involvement with Nazi loot and current links to organized crime, a reckoning cannot be far off.

That compares with 5.3pc for Italy, 5.2pc for Russia, and 4.6pc for China. The UK is down at number nine, generating 2.4pc of the world's illegal cash. The money is also invested or laundered mainly in the US where 18.9pc goes. After that comes the Cayman Islands with 4.9pc, Russia 4.2pc, Italy 3.7pc and China 3.3pc. The UK is not in the top 10. But the most attractive sites for holding offshore cash, according to Inside Fraud Bulletin, are Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Britain and the United States. Top-scoring cut-out countries, which make it hard to trace the ill- gotten gains back to the getter, are Mauritius, Vatican City, Macao and Nauru, followed by Luxembourg and South Africa. After that come Britain's islands: Isle of Man, Jersey, Guernsey and Sark. The world total of laundered crime money is guesstimated by Mr Walker to be pounds 1,000 billion. The bulletin, quoting the table, notes, however, that statistics on money laundering are unreliable. Little wonder, when there are laws in the Cayman Islands making it a criminal offence to impinge upon corporate or banking secrecy. It is worse still in Russia where the criminals do not just get themselves a bank account, they own more than 50 banks - that makes hiding the money a lot easier.

The Model State Emergency Health Powers Act, according to the Boston Globe, would give public health officials and states governors the power to arrest, transport, quarantine, drug, and vaccinate anyone suspected of carrying a potentially infectious disease. The model legislation, issued on Halloween, is certainly no treat. The Globe reported that author s Lawrence O. Gostin, a professor at Georgetown University Law Center and Director of the Center fo r Law and the Publics Health, and James G. Hodge of John Hopkins University worked to balance the need to control disease with protecting individuals civil rights, before the newspaper promptly, and suspiciously, remove d the article from its website. The Globe report provided conflicting statements concerning the right people had to appea l states decisions to quarantine or isolate people against their will. As cited in the 40-page off icial document, the law is said to give state public health authorities virtually absolute dictatorial powers, with little chance of legal recourse for interned individuals. The bills definition of a public health emergency is highly subjective. Under the law, one case of smallpox in a public school could trigger authorities to urge a governor to declare a state of e mergency. Once declared , the U.S. Constitution, Bill of Rights, and most cherished civil liberties will be immediately sus pended in addition to states declaring ownership of private properties. The controversial legislati on, that many feel refl ects totalitarianism or fascism, may be downloaded from www.publichealthlaw.net/MSEHPA/MSEHPA.pdf. Under the Mandatory Medical Examinations section (502) of the law, persons refusing to submit to medical examinations and/or testings are liable for misdemeanors and forced isolation. If public he alth authorities suspec t individuals may have been exposed to broadly defined infectious diseases, or otherwise pose a ris k to public health, officials may issue detainment orders. In the case of an urban attack, or even one suspected, thousand s of people could possibly be marshaled into isolation camps, according to the law. In this case, physicians, assisted by police, will be required to perform state medical examinations and tests. Under the law, infectious diseases are very broadly defined. An infectious disease may, or may no t, be transmissible from person to person, animal to person, or insect to person. Isolation regulations in the law provide The State with power to commandeer private properties wher ein individuals deemed infected, or exposed, might be housed under quarantine. Section 504 of the Act details vaccination and treatment protocols. Following these mandates, publi c health authorities may compel people to be inoculated and/or drugged with any medicaments selecte d by The State. Individ uals refusing to be vaccinated or treated would be liable for a misdemeanor, subject to police arre st, isolation or quarantine. The model legislation exempts The State, its political subdivisions, including the Governor, publ ic health authorities, the police, or other State officials, from liabilities associated with the d eath or injury to perso ns, or damage to property, as a result of complying with, or attempting to comply with, the Act. Furthermore, Section 807 repeals existing state laws that are in conflict with the Act. Under this part, for instance, previous laws granting medical, religious, or philosophical exemptio ns to vaccination would be repealed. Said to have been under development for more than a year, with provisions taken from legislation al ready passed in California and Colorado, critics suspect the motives behind these draconian polic ies may be less than pu re. I question just how threatened the powers that be are by the populace waking up en masse to al ternative health care, Ingri Cassel, president of Vaccination Liberation, said.

Re: [CTRL] Secret Govt Database on Vaccine-Damaged Children
-Caveat Lector- http://thinktwice.com/database.htm Secret Government Database on Vaccine-Damaged Children The information in this article was excerpted from Immunization Theory vs. Reality: Expose' on Vaccinations by Neil Z. Miller. Copyright 1996. Your comments are welcome. The general public is essentially unaware of the true number of people (mostly children) who have been permanently damaged or killed by vaccines. In fact, most parents would be surprised to learn that the government has a computer database filled with several thousand names of disabled and dead babies, children who were healthy and alive just prior to receiving the vaccines.(39) Of course, the medical establishment and federal government don't readily disclose this information because they know it may frighten parents into seeking other ways to protect their children. In other words, parents just might think this issue through on their own and decide to reject the shots. Federal Admission of Vaccine Risks: In 1986, Congress officially acknowledged the reality of vaccine-caused injuries and death by creating and passing The National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act (Public Law 99-660). The safety reform portion of this law requires doctors to provide parents with information about the benefits and risks of childhood vaccines prior to vaccination, and to report vaccine reactions to federal health officials. Doctors are required by law to report suspected cases of vaccine damage. To simplify and centralize this legal requisite, federal health officials established the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) -- operated by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).(40) Ideally, doctors would abide by this federal law and report adverse events following the administration of a vaccine. However, the FDA recently acknowledged that 90 percent of doctors do not report vaccine reactions.(41) They are choosing to subvert this law by claiming the adverse event was, in their opinion, not related to the shot. [Numerous examples of this may be found on pages 96-98]. In fact, every year about 12,000 reports of adverse reactions to vaccines are made to the FDA (data accessible only through the Freedom of Information Act). These figures include hospitalizations, irreversible brain damage, and hundreds of deaths. (42) Considering that these numbers represent just 10 percent, the true figures during this period could be as high as 120,000 adverse events annually. Maybe it doesn't matter that doctors won't report vaccine reactions, because the federal government won't investigate them.(43) Government officials claim VAERS was designed to document suspected cases of vaccine damage. No attempt is being made to confirm or deny the reports. Parents are not being interviewed, and the vaccines that preceded the severe reactions are not being recalled. Instead, new waves of unsuspecting parents and innocent children are being subjected to the damaging shots.(44) Who Pays for Compensation? In order to pay for vaccine injuries and deaths, a surtax is levied on mandated vaccines. When parents elect to have their children vaccinated, a portion of the money they spend on each vaccine goes into a congressional fund to compensate them if their child is hurt or killed by the shot. This insurance fee ranges from several dollars per dose (for the DPT and MMR vaccines) to several cents per dose for some of the others.(45) The compensation portion of the law awards up to $250,000 if the individual dies, or millions of dollars to cover lifelong medical bills, pain, and suffering in the case of a living (but brain damaged) child. By August 31, 1997, more than $802 million had already been paid out for hundreds of injuries and deaths caused by mandated vaccines. Thousands of cases are still pending.(46) The government's estimated future liability for pre-1988 vaccine damage exceeds $1.7 billion, with complete settlement of claims not expected until 1998.(47) For the majority of claimants, there is no money available. Also, Vaccine Injury Compensation Claims do not include private settlements, or the many families that become dependent on public assistance for medical and living expenses because of vaccine injuries.(48) Therefore, taxpayers subsidize vaccine manufacturers and the federal government by paying for their vaccine-liability expenses. How Are Vaccines Made? Vaccine production is a disgusting procedure. To begin, one must first acquire the disease germ -- a toxic bacterium or a live virus. To make a live vaccine, the live virus must be attenuated, or weakened for human use. This is accomplished by serial passage -- passing the virus through animal tissue several times to reduce its potency. For example, measles virus is passed through chick embryos, polio virus through monkey kidneys, and the rubella virus through human diploid cells -- the dissected organs of an aborted fetus!(49-51)

Tuesday, November 20, 2001 (Key West, Florida, USA) I HAVE been receiving many messages over the last weeks from friends and correspondents urging me to forego my curiosity about the crash of United Airlines flight 93. Becoming a conspiracy theorist, they say, that my will damage my integrity as a historian. Possibly so, and possibly not. Inspired by the files posted on the website www.flight93crash.com which we have partly mirrored on our own website, American heavyweight journalists have seemingly at last begun to do their duty and investigate what really happened to United Flight 93. -- the fourth airliner which crashed into the field in Pennsylvanbika on Sept. 11, 2001. It is proper to comment on what, to me, makes this story important in the wider scheme of things. In my view, in a warlike situation -- because this is still not legally a war -- a government has a right to take certain hard decisions; but it should think long and hard before deceiving its own people about them. The truth will always out. The United States people, and with it the world, have been invited to accept the justification offered by Washington and the Pentagon for their attacks on the people of Afghanistan, who have done no demonstrable harm to the United States, because of the occasional verbal assurances offered by the President, George W Bush, that he has proof that the Saudi fugitive Osama bin Laden, whom the Afghanistan people are (or were) housing, was the mastermind behind both the criminal attacks on the World Trade Center and the pre-emptive strike, delivered by equally criminal means, against the Pentagon. The only evidence we have seen however suggests that none of the perpetrators (the alleged hijackers) was an Afghan citizen or associated with Bin Laden. Despite the flabby and diminishing protests of America's allies, the Bush regime has offered no proof other than to hint that they have it from secretly intercepted conversations of Bin Laden associates. Why are they still secret, those intercepts? It is by now no secret that the United States government regularly eavesdrops and records, world-wide, the conversations of criminals and others who are so foolish as to conduct them by cellphones, or indeed by any telephone communication partially transmitted by microwave links. In the short run such assurances may please, and fob-off, a namby- pamby politician like Tony Blair and his touchy-feely wife Cherie. But in the long run they will not satisfied current, or for that matter future, historians with a harder-nosed attitude towards proof and the rules of evidence. Blair's own colleagues are scathing about his gullibility. His own government, posting the current Bin Laden dossier on its No. 10 Downing-street website, is careful to put at its head a formal and shameful disclaimer, reading: This document does not purport to provide a prosecutable case against Usama Bin Laden in a court of law. Intelligence often cannot be used evidentially, due both to the strict rules of admissibility and to the need to protect the safety of sources. But on the basis of all the information available HMG [Her Majesty's Government] is confident of its conclusions as expressed in this document. It thus appears that tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of citizens of Afghanistan, a country upon whom the United States and Britain have not formally declared war, are being killed by the most brutal means including cluster-bombs and the giant daisy-cutter vacuum-blast bombs, although we have only the President's word for any involvement of their country in the atrocities of Sept. 11, 2001. YES, the president's word: That is why, until they produce better evidence, the word of the present Washington government matters. And that brings us back to the ill-fated fourth plane that day, United Airlines 93, which crashed for no good reason outside Shanksville, Pennsylvania. We have argued ever since that same ugly morning that in all likelihood the plane was shot down on Bush's orders, in the belief it was heading for the White House; that almost at once it became clear that the hijackers had already been overwhelmed by a handful of brave passengers, so the plane's destruction had been a terrible mistake; that his staff at once put out the story that it was known to have been on
Re: [CTRL] Case-Mortality Increases with Smallpox Vaccination
-Caveat Lector- http://www.mercola.com/1999/sep/26/was_smallpox_vaccine_really_a_great_success .htm Was Smallpox Vaccine Really A Great Success? By Roger Schlafly, PhD The use of vaccines to prevent and eradicate diseases like smallpox is supposedly one of the great successes of modern medicine. The Philippine Islands provide us with the most striking information on record that with much vaccination there is also much smallpox. Since the taking of the islands by the U.S., every attention had been paid to the perfecting of sanitation. But not content with this, their Public Health Service has seen to the thorough systematic vaccination of the population, adding thereto a considerable amount of serum inoculation. An American paper published in 1922 reported The Philippines have experienced three smallpox epidemics since the U.S. took over the Islands, the first in 1905-06, the second in 1907-08, and the third and worst of all in 1918-19. Before 1905 (with no general vaccination) the case-mortality was about 10%. In the 1905-06 epidemic, with vaccination well started, the case-mortality ranged from 25-50%. During the epidemic of 1918-19, with the Philippines supposedly almost universally immunized against smallpox by vaccination, the case-mortality averaged over 65%! These figures can be verified by reference to the Report of the Philippine Health Service. The statements are accompanied by, The mortality is hardly explainable. To anyone but a Philippine Medical Health Commissioner, it is plainly the result of vaccination. The highest percentage of mortality, 65.3%, was in Manila, the most thoroughly vaccinated place in the Islands; the lowest percentage of mortality, 11.4%, was in Mindanao, where, owing to religious prejudices of the inhabitants, vaccination had not been practiced as much as in most other parts of the Islands. Vaccination had been forced on Mindanao since 1918 in the face of this direct proof that their people were safer without it, and with the result of a smallpox mortality increase to above 25% in 1920. In view of the fact that sanitary engineers had probably done more in Manila to clean up the city and make it healthier than in any other part of the islands, vaccination actually brought on the smallpox epidemic in spite of the sanitary measures taken to promote health. It is certain that over ten million vaccinations for smallpox were performed in the Philippines from 1905 to 1917. In England and Wales, free vaccination was provided for smallpox in 1840, made compulsory in 1853, and in 1867 orders were given to prosecute evaders, therefore, few escaped vaccination. Deaths from smallpox in England and Wales during 1857-59 was recorded at 14,244; in 1863-65, 20,059; and 1870-72, 44,840. Between the 1st and 2nd epidemic, there was only a 7% increase in population with an increase of smallpox deaths by 40.8%. During the 2nd and 3rd epidemic a 9% increase of population with an increase of smallpox deaths of 123% with an ever-multiplying number of vaccinations! Deaths per year from cancer in England and Wales between 1857-72 also began to rapidly increase. Professor of the Athenian Faculty of Medicine, Leon Grigorski said We are ourselves creating the diseases, and we are heading toward general cancerization and mental defectives through encephalitis, by the use of vaccines. Upon limiting access to information the medical-industrial complex is able to maintain its authority mystique. Isolation is a well-known technique of brainwashing. Choices that challenge the position of the authority are limited and often times hidden. Because the intellect learns by comparison, when it is presented with only one point of view or other points of view are denigrated, it loses its capacity to discriminate and ultimately its capacity for fully rational thought.

In this single year, 3,994 vaccinated people died of smallpox; the total number attacked exceeded 29,000. (All were vaccinated.)---Dr. Kalb, Royal Examiner of Statistics for Bavaria. I believed that vaccination prevented smallpox. I believed that if it did not absolutely prevent it in every case, it modified the disease in some cases, and I believed that re-vaccination, if only frequent enough, gave absolute immunity. Experience has driven all that out of my head; I have seen vaccinated persons get smallpox, and persons who had been vaccinated get smallpox, and I have seen those who had had smallpox get it a second time and die of it.--Dr. J. C. Ward M.R.C.S. at Harrogate, (England) Smallpox was on the way out, indeed epidemics disappeared decades before the WHO decided to conduct the final eradication campaign. It is also well-documented that the largest epidemics occurred in the most highly vaccinated populations, while whose who were unvaccinated, did not have the same epidemics. --Viera Scheibner I have had in my own experience one very small epidemic comprising 33 (smallpox) cases of which 29 had vaccination histories and a good scar, and some of them vaccinated within the last year. There was no protection there. ---Dr Hay During the epidemic of 1871, visiting the hospitals and seeing in private practice that nine-tenths of the small-pox cases were vaccinated.---Dr Allinson The increased deaths from these five causes, from 1855 to 1880, exceed the total deaths from Small-pox during the same period! So that even if the latter disease had been totally abolished by vaccination, the general mortality would have been increased, and there is much reason to believe that the increase may have been caused by vaccination itself.--Wallace Since the passing of the Act in 1853 we have had no less than three distinct epidemics. In 1857-9 we had more than 14,000 deaths from smallpox; in the 1863-5 epidemic the deaths had increased to 20,000; and in 1871-2 they totalled up to the tune of 44,800.--Dr Hadwen MD In the Metropolitan Hospital 1870-1-2, it is acknowledged that out of 14,808 smallpox patients 11,174 had been vaccinated.---Mr P.A. Taylor (Vacc Inq 5, p48) Back then I was working in one of the oldest lung illness treatment centres in Germany, and just by chance, I looked at the files of those people who had fallen ill during the first German epidemic of smallpox, in 1947...We had always been told that the smallpox vaccination would protect against smallpox. And now I could verify, thanks to the files and papers, that all of those who had fallen ill had been vaccinated. This was very upsetting for me.---Dr Buchwald, M.D. Italy is one of the best vaccinated countries in the world, if not the best of all, for twenty years before 1885, our nation was vaccinated in the proportion of 98.5%. Notwithstanding, the epidemics of smallpox that we have had have been something so frightful that nothing before the invention of vaccination could equal them. During 1887, we had 16,249 deaths from smallpox; in 1888- 18,110 and 1889, 13,413--Chas Rauta, Professor of Hygiene and Material Medical in the University of Perguia, Italy.

The concepts I would like to share with you today were set to paper three days after that event. I printed about a dozen copies and gave them to family and friends. Since then I have added historical data, but the concepts and the message remain unchanged. Many of the predictions I made have already come to pass; but any pride I might have in being right is far offset by the grim substance of those predictions. After completing The Creature from Jekyll Island, I felt that I still had one more book to write and that it would be called The Freedom Manifesto. I also knew that I would need a dramatic issue in the first chapter to capture attention. Well, the terrorist attack on September 11 was certainly that - and more. I told those on my email list that I would send them my expanded report on terrorism, but then I became bogged down in structuring and gathering material for the book. By that time, the report had become huge and had to be divided into chapters. All of that took about four weeks. So, what started out to be a four-page report on terrorism metamorphosed into Chapter One of The Freedom Manifesto. At first, it was my intent to keep the material up to date with late-breaking events; but then it occurred to me that it might have more value in its original form than if it were continually updated. Writing about news events after they happen is not difficult, but writing about them before they happen is another matter. So, I decided to let the overview stand exactly as conceptualized on Friday, September 14, 2001. This is that report. * KNOW THE ENEMY In the year 500 b.c., a Chinese general and philosopher by the name of Sun Tzu wrote a treatise called The Art of War. It has been translated into just about every language in the world and has become a classic of military and political strategy. In it, Sun Tzu said: If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.[1] It is now three days after the attack, and I am haunted by the words of Sun Tzu. America has declared war, but her leaders are not even sure who the enemy is. Is it a man called Osama bin Laden? Is it Afghanistan, the nation that shelters him? Is it the Taliban which rules Afghanistan? Is it a terrorist group called al-Qaida? Is it Muslim Extremism? We commit to war but do not know the enemy. The meaning of this event is far more complicated than the surface facts would indicate. On the surface, we have a group of people in the Middle East who hate America and have pledged themselves to inflict severe punishment on her, even at the sacrifice of their own lives. If that is as far as we care to look, then the meaning is simple. It is them against us; we are at war; they are the bad guys; we are the good guys; and we must destroy the enemy. That is the meaning that was given to the American people by their leaders. President Bush summarized it well when he told the nation, Tuesday, that the attack was an act of cowardice and that America was the target because it was a beacon of freedom. If that is the correct meaning of the event, the logical consequences are that we must fight back; we must defend freedom; and we must not stop until the cowards are wiped off the face of the earth. That is the path of war, retaliation, and, of course, counter-retaliation. There is, however, a deeper understanding of this event, and it has to do with the maxim: actions have consequences. To come to that understanding, we must do the unthinkable in moments of crisis. We must ask questions. LOYALTY AND PATRIOTISM Asking questions is not popular with some people. When a nation is at war, there is a tendency for its citizens to rally behind their leaders without questioning the wisdom of their actions. For them, the test of patriotism is

Re: [CTRL] Case-Mortality Increases with Smallpox Vaccination
-Caveat Lector- Case-Mortality Increases with Smallpox Vaccination Yeah, but what about the total number of cases? If we were to take this article seriously, then we should still be ravaged with smallpox every year...also, the stuff about the 1840's is totally irrelevant...they used live vaccine back then. - Original Message - From: Samantha L. [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, November 23, 2001 2:06 AM Subject: Re: [CTRL] Case-Mortality Increases with Smallpox Vaccination -Caveat Lector- http://www.mercola.com/1999/sep/26/was_smallpox_vaccine_really_a_great_succe ss .htm Was Smallpox Vaccine Really A Great Success? By Roger Schlafly, PhD The use of vaccines to prevent and eradicate diseases like smallpox is supposedly one of the great successes of modern medicine. The Philippine Islands provide us with the most striking information on record that with much vaccination there is also much smallpox. Since the taking of the islands by the U.S., every attention had been paid to the perfecting of sanitation. But not content with this, their Public Health Service has seen to the thorough systematic vaccination of the population, adding thereto a considerable amount of serum inoculation. An American paper published in 1922 reported The Philippines have experienced three smallpox epidemics since the U.S. took over the Islands, the first in 1905-06, the second in 1907-08, and the third and worst of all in 1918-19. Before 1905 (with no general vaccination) the case-mortality was about 10%. In the 1905-06 epidemic, with vaccination well started, the case-mortality ranged from 25-50%. During the epidemic of 1918-19, with the Philippines supposedly almost universally immunized against smallpox by vaccination, the case-mortality averaged over 65%! These figures can be verified by reference to the Report of the Philippine Health Service. The statements are accompanied by, The mortality is hardly explainable. To anyone but a Philippine Medical Health Commissioner, it is plainly the result of vaccination. The highest percentage of mortality, 65.3%, was in Manila, the most thoroughly vaccinated place in the Islands; the lowest percentage of mortality, 11.4%, was in Mindanao, where, owing to religious prejudices of the inhabitants, vaccination had not been practiced as much as in most other parts of the Islands. Vaccination had been forced on Mindanao since 1918 in the face of this direct proof that their people were safer without it, and with the result of a smallpox mortality increase to above 25% in 1920. In view of the fact that sanitary engineers had probably done more in Manila to clean up the city and make it healthier than in any other part of the islands, vaccination actually brought on the smallpox epidemic in spite of the sanitary measures taken to promote health. It is certain that over ten million vaccinations for smallpox were performed in the Philippines from 1905 to 1917. In England and Wales, free vaccination was provided for smallpox in 1840, made compulsory in 1853, and in 1867 orders were given to prosecute evaders, therefore, few escaped vaccination. Deaths from smallpox in England and Wales during 1857-59 was recorded at 14,244; in 1863-65, 20,059; and 1870-72, 44,840. Between the 1st and 2nd epidemic, there was only a 7% increase in population with an increase of smallpox deaths by 40.8%. During the 2nd and 3rd epidemic a 9% increase of population with an increase of smallpox deaths of 123% with an ever-multiplying number of vaccinations! Deaths per year from cancer in England and Wales between 1857-72 also began to rapidly increase. Professor of the Athenian Faculty of Medicine, Leon Grigorski said We are ourselves creating the diseases, and we are heading toward general cancerization and mental defectives through encephalitis, by the use of vaccines. Upon limiting access to information the medical-industrial complex is able to maintain its authority mystique. Isolation is a well-known technique of brainwashing. Choices that challenge the position of the authority are limited and often times hidden. Because the intellect learns by comparison, when it is presented with only one point of view or other points of view are denigrated, it loses its capacity to discriminate and ultimately its capacity for fully rational thought.

Hillary Clinton now wants even more new federal hirings to keep an eye on the nation's nuclear plants, now protected by the plant owners' security forces. According to New York Times reporter Robert Worth, Clinton, D-N.Y., told reporters at the Indian Point nuclear facility that she would introduce legislation to make the feds responsible for nuclear plant security. But that's not all. Clinton is also pushing for an expansion of the evacuation zone from the present 10 miles to 50 miles, putting New York City, 30 miles away, and its 8 million residents within the zone. This would require the evacuation of all 20 million people in that zone in the event of an emergency at Indian Point. You're right, this is just a waste of money. I suggest a more practical approach. On learning of an impending nuclear disaster, good American citizens should simply stand, place their hand over their heart, and recite the Pledge of Allegiance.

[CTRL] Kinights Templar and the Jews
-Caveat Lector- Excerpted from: "...There is another book, sacred to this tribe, called the Kabbalah. Its name literally means "a welcome" -- an initiation -- for the Kabbalah is the key to understanding the hidden cipher of the Hebrew Scriptures and Prophecies. The "Secret Chiefs" of this tribe, descended as they are from magicians, Kabbalists and mystics, are dedicated to the task of bringing about the fulfillment of these same prophecies. To this end, they have learned to become masters of intrigue, deception, the sleight of hand, and the inspiration of secret societies from the Knights Templar and the Rosicrucians to the Golden Dawn, Argenteum Astrum and the O.T.O., because from time immemorial the nations of the world have sought to discover the secret knowledge of the Jews. It is not mere coincidence that the word "cabal" is derived from the Hebrew Kabbalah. It was in 917 C.E. that Aaron ben Samuel, a Babalonian scholar and a Jew, arrived in Italy. He carried with him the texts and ancient oral traditions of the Practical Kabbalists, known to have existed at least as far back as the time of Solomon, who had himself been a sorcerer. Whereas the Speculative Kabbalists were well-known to be harmless mystics and holy men, the Practical Kabbalists were given over to the quest for worldly power, becoming the Grand Masters of illusion, the arch-deceivers. "Almost immediately upon his arrival, he imparted his mystical knowledge to the scholarly Kalonymus family. When they moved to the Rhineland in 917 c.e. they established what is now commonly referred to as German Kabbalism by some, and Early Hasidism by others. Until the time of Eleazar of Worms, the mystic doctrine transmitted by Aaron ben Samuel had been considered the private property of the Kalonymides. It was Judah he-Hasid ("the Pious Jew", died 1217), a member of the Kalonymides family, who directed his pupil Eleazar to reveal the oral and written doctrine to a larger audience." Charled Ponce Kabbalah: An Introduction and Illumination for the World Today In the meantime, a radical change had swept through Europe and the yet more-civilized Islamic world. At the time of Aaron ben Samuel, the Jews were in control of virtually all commerce and banking throughout the Mediterranean, Northern Europe and eastward as far as Pakistan. This was the Golden Age of the Diaspora, when Jews had become privileged in virtually every court as doctors, advisors, financiers, navigators, mapmakers, scribes (lawyers), alchemists and astrologers. Then suddenly, with the start of the Crusades, the Jews were set upon, cast down and slaughtered throughout the Christian parts of the world. The First Crusade, in 1095, was under the military leadership of Godfrey de Bouillon. After the sack of Jerusalem in 1097, Godfrey, allegedly a Moravingian and Grand Master of the newly-formed (1070 AD) Prieure de Sion, co-founded the Knights Templar, an order of warrior-monks drawn from the ranks of the nobility, for the purpose of protecting pilgrims to the Holy Land. Conventional history tends to skirt the issue of why the Crusades. The "calls for help" from the Byzantine Empire to fight the Turks have been perhaps overstated. The fortress of Constantinople contained a vast hoard of wealth dating back to Alexander the Great. The Byzantines could well-afford to hire on the Franks as mercenaries. The Church needed to transfer the Frankish Knights' loyalty from the French king to the Pope, and a Crusade provided the opportunity. While the main Turkish force was arrayed against Byzantium, the Crusaders struck at the exposed Turkish flank -- Jerusalem! There only remained the question of how the Knights would be paid. King Baldwin was appointed Prince of Jerusalem by the Holy See, the Knights Templar became his de-facto government, and they immediately set about fortifying their newly-created kingdom with modern castles built for them by the Masons. Within ten years, the Knights and an affiliated organization, the Hospitallers, were to amass a vast fortune in land, castles and merchant fleets, as well as a banking monopoly that was protected by a special Papal dispensation allowing the Knights to engage in usury. This is the key to understanding the Crusades: the rise in importance of merchant-banking. We must remember that, at the time, intelligence-gathering was an important function of the traveling merchant class, later called the merchant adventurers, and that the eleventh-century bankers and caravan masters formed the nexus of what was to evolve into our modern intelligence and banking apparatus. The two functions are inextricable from one another. By either providing or withholding information, they could influence political affairs. And by the setting of rates of exchange, the merchant bankers could either drain a city of its capital, or direct wealth and commerce its way. And thus it was that the merchant bankers -- who were primarily Jews, and the upstart Venetians -- were

[CTRL] U.S. Policy Towards Taliban Influenced by Oil
-Caveat Lector- .. From the New Paradigms Project [Not Necessarily Endorsed] Note: We store 100's of related New Paradigms Posts at: http://www.msen.com/~lloyd/oldprojects/recentmail.html From: James Daugherty [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: U.S. Policy Towards Taliban Influenced by Oil Date: Saturday, November 17, 2001 8:20 AM http://www.truthout.com/11.17A.Oil.Taliban.htm U.S. Policy Towards Taliban Influenced by Oil - Say Authors By Julio Godoy, Inter Press Service PARIS, Nov 15 (IPS) - Under the influence of U.S. oil companies, the government of George W. Bush initially blocked U.S. secret service investigations on terrorism, while it bargained with the Taliban the delivery of Osama bin Laden in exchange for political recognition and economic aid, two French intelligence analysts claim. In the book Bin Laden, la verite interdite (Bin Laden, the forbidden truth), that appeared in Paris on Wednesday, the authors, Jean-Charles Brisard and Guillaume Dasquie, reveal that the Federal Bureau of Investigation's deputy director John O'Neill resigned in July in protest over the obstruction. Brisard claim O'Neill told them that the main obstacles to investigate Islamic terrorism were U.S. oil corporate interests and the role played by Saudi Arabia in it. The two claim the U.S. government's main objective in Afghanistan was to consolidate the position of the Taliban regime to obtain access to the oil and gas reserves in Central Asia. They affirm that until August, the U.S. government saw the Taliban regime as a source of stability in Central Asia that would enable the construction of an oil pipeline across Central Asia, from the rich oilfields in Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and Kazakhstan, through Afghanistan and Pakistan, to the Indian Ocean. Until now, says the book, the oil and gas reserves of Central Asia have been controlled by Russia. The Bush government wanted to change all that. But, confronted with Taliban's refusal to accept U.S. conditions, this rationale of energy security changed into a military one, the authors claim. At one moment during the negotiations, the U.S. representatives told the Taliban, 'either you accept our offer of a carpet of gold, or we bury you under a carpet of bombs', Brisard said in an interview in Paris. According to the book, the government of Bush began to negotiate with the Taliban immediately after coming into power in February. U.S. and Taliban diplomatic representatives met several times in Washington, Berlin and Islamabad. To polish their image in the United States, the Taliban even employed a U.S. expert onpublic relations, Laila Helms. The authors claim that Helms is also an expert in the works of U.S. secret services, for her uncle, Richard Helms, is a former director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). The last meeting between U.S. and Taliban representatives took place in August, five weeks before the attacks on New York and Washington, the analysts maintain. On that occasion, Christina Rocca, in charge of Central Asian affairs for the U.S. government, met the Taliban ambassador to Pakistan in Islamabad. Brisard and Dasquie have long experience in intelligence analysis. Brisard was until the late 1990s director of economic analysis and strategy for Vivendi, a French company. He also worked for French secret services, and wrote for them in 1997 a report on the now famous Al Qaeda network, headed by bin Laden. Dasquie is an investigative journalist and publisher of Intelligence Online, a respected newsletter on diplomacy, economic analysis and strategy, available through the Internet. Brisard and Dasquie draw a portrait of closest aides to President Bush, linking them to oil business. Bush's family has a strong oil background. So are some of his top aides. From the U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney, through the director of the National Security Council Condoleeza Rice, to the Ministers of Commerce and Energy, Donald Evans and Stanley Abraham, all have for long worked for U.S. oil companies. Cheney was until the end of last year president of Halliburton, a company that provides services for oil industry; Rice was between 1991 and 2000 manager for Chevron; Evans and Abraham worked for Tom Brown, another oil giant. Besides the secret negotiations held between Washington and Kabul and the importance of the oil industry, the book takes issue with the role played by Saudi Arabia in fostering Islamic fundamentalism, in the personality of bin Laden, and with the networks that the Saudi dissident built to finance his activities. Brisard and Dasquie contend the U.S. government's claim that it had been prosecuting bin Laden since 1998. Actually, Dasquie says, the first state to officially prosecute bin Laden was Libya, on the charges of terrorism. Bin Laden wanted settle in Libya in the early 1990s, but was hindered by the government of Muammar Qaddafi,
