Subject: The Main Reason Why Democrats Must Take Back Both Houses

To My Fellow Democrats,

As I have stated previously, we stand a good chance of winning back control of both the House and the Senate. But, we cannot let only politics guide us; we must use the morality that lies in each of us to be the power that energizes us to say to Bush “Enough is enough!”

Many of you do know that the Iraq War or as I call it the “Bush War” in Iraq is my main focus. We cannot tolerate the mass slaughter of innocent Iraqis who did nothing to us to warrant our illegal action against their country. I say “their country” since they have the right to self determination. Yes, we can guide them, but we need a moral leader and not a liar that guides them towards any freedom.

We must be the moral force that stops Bush at all costs. Our country cannot tolerate him being in office after we do take control congress. We must and I cannot stress this strong enough impeach both Bush and Cheney.

Just the other day, I faxed some pretty raw pictures to Bush at the White House showing him some pretty graphic photos of limbless and burnt soldiers. Not that he actually gives a damn. It sickened me beyond belief that Bush did this to them. I have forwarded that faxed letter to Bush onto many including the media. Should you wish to take a look at these graphic photos, please go to this link Limbless and Burnt Soldiers Again; I want to warn you that these photos are very graphic. Please notice the smug smile given by Bush in many of these photos.

Tonight, someone sent me the following video feed WWJD? I have seen this feed before, but thought it necessary to pass on to all of you to remind you why Bush and Cheney must be removed from office when we do take power.

Did these innocent children deserve this? If anything, Bush and Cheney should be brought up on war crimes charges.

It has been reported where this war will cost us over $800 billion dollars. Just imagine what social programs could have been funded with that money. Every day we are spending $200 million dollars for this Bush War of lies.

To quote Dwight D. Eisenhower, he once stated: “Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies in the final sense a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.”

In closing as I go over the debate logs between Gore and Bush back in 2000, every thing that Gore said should a Bush administration take hold of this country has proven correct. Notice that I did not say governed. I feel we all should be wearing buttons that state, “Gore was right!”

Democratically Yours,

Mary!

PS: I am asking that all of you do pass this on since Bush and Cheney must be stopped

You are absolutely right.

If there are any lawyers reading this who still have guts and will step up to the plate, if there is anyone reading this email who will call into a radio talk show, if there is anyone reading this email who will contact his/her elected representatives, if there is anyone reading this email who lives in NYC and will organize a demonstration in front of the courthouse, then possibly Susan Lindauer has a chance.

Otherwise, we will all probably get exactly what we deserve.

We will be sitting in front of our computer terminals, posting "to the choir," when the covered trucks roll up in front of our own homes.

Impatient Mossad warns
of 'monster in the making'
'This is what we know and this is what
we'll do if you continue to do nothing'

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Posted: April 30, 2006
1:00 a.m. Eastern

� 2006 WorldNetDaily.com

If the visit to Washington last week by the head of Mossad, Israel's intelligence agency, was not enough to communicate Israel's growing impatience with the international community's failure to deal with Tehran's unchecked development of nuclear technology and bellicose threats to wipe the Jewish state "off the map," Ehud Olmert, prime minister designate, made it clear yesterday by denouncing Iran's president as a "psychopath" and comparing him to Hitler.

Meir Dagan

Mossad chief Meir Dagan, in Washington last week in preparation for a visit to the U.S. by Olmert on May 23, held secret meetings with U.S. officials to discuss Iran's nuclear program, reports the London Times. While details of the meetings were not revealed, it is believed Dagan met with his counterparts at the CIA, the Pentagon and the National Security Council.

"Dagan is not given to small talk and niceties," said an Israeli intelligence source, who believes Dagan's message to Washington policy makers was simple and blunt: "This is what we know and this is what we'll do if you continue to do nothing."

The revelation of the briefing comes in the wake of the International Atomic Energy Agency's (IAEA) admission of alarming "gaps" in its knowledge of Iran's centrifuge program to enrich uranium and the level of involvement of Iran's military. Many intelligence experts believe Iran is operating a parallel nuclear program where military applications are secretly under development. Mossad reportedly claims to have evidence of enrichment sites in Iran hidden to IAEA inspectors "which can short-cut their timetable in the race for their first bomb."

"When I read the recent reports regarding Iran, I saw a monster in the making," said Dr. Yuval Steinitz, chairman of the Israeli parliament's foreign and defense committee.

Steinitz, who oversees Mossad's activities in Iran, fears Iran's first nuclear bomb is just one year away. "There is only one option that is worse than military action against Iran and that is to sit and do nothing," he said.

Publically, at least, the Bush administration is still talking diplomacy and economic sanctions to achieve a "peaceful solution" following last week's IAEA report documenting Iran's non-compliance.

The U.S., Britain, France and Germany will face off this week against a resistant China and Russia over a resolution from the U.N. Security Council mandating Iran suspend its uranium enrichment. Given President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's scornful dismissal of resolutions from the U.N., something stronger, like sanctions could follow.

Russia and China, however, may scuttle any U.N. efforts to stop Iran. China just announced a $100 billion energy deal with Iran, with Beijing's ambassador declaring, "No country can prevent the deal." If the U.N. fails to act, the U.S. will seek Iran's economic isolation at the July G8 summit in St. Petersburg.

But given the fast pace at which many intelligence experts believe Iran's nuclear program is advancing, July is a long time off, especially for the Israelis who, as WorldNetDaily has reported, are already being targeted by Iran's missiles and rockets stationed in Lebanon under the control of Hezbollah surrogates.

"If we do not see any progress on the political or economic track that convinces the Iranians to back down, one of the parties will use the military option," a senior Israeli source said in Washington last week. Dragging out the negotiations indefinitely is not an option.

"Ahmadinejad speaks today like Hitler before taking power," Olmert said. "So you see, we are dealing with a psychopath of the worst kind � with an anti-Semite. God forbid that this man ever gets his hands on nuclear weapons, to carry out his threats."

Pittsburgh control tower was evacuated on 9/11 21 minutes before crash

Dear friends,

I received an email recently alerting me to a most intriguing article
written in Pittsburgh's main newspaper, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, on
Sept. 23, 2001. The article (with pertinent sections copied below)
states clearly that the Pittsburgh International Airport control tower was
ordered to be evacuated at 9:49 on 9/11, 21 minutes before United
flight 93 crashed in the Pennsylvania countryside. What possibly could have
been the reasoning for evacuating the control tower when an air crisis
was going on?!!! This is the control tower that could have told us
definitively what happened to flight 93. Could this have been a way to keep
the air traffic controllers from seeing that flight 93 was pursued by
US military craft and shot down? There is considerable evidence to
support this theory (see below).

Local officials rethink recently made plans to deal with terrorism
Sunday, September 23, 2001
By Jan Ackerman, Post-Gazette Staff Writer

(Excerpted from full article)

.... It is clear from 911 tapes that local officials had less than 15
minutes' warning that the hijacked United Airlines Flight 93 was in
Pittsburgh airspace before the plane crashed at 10:06 a.m. in Somerset
County, killing all 44 people aboard.

Full learned about the errant plane at 9:53 a.m. That's when he got a
call alerting him that the control tower at Pittsburgh International
Airport had been evacuated. Thirteen minutes earlier, he had talked to an
airport official who had no indication of any threat.

Between those two conversations, the Pittsburgh tower had received a
call from the Cleveland air traffic control tower, saying a plane was
heading toward Pittsburgh and refusing to communicate with controllers.
The FAA ordered the Pittsburgh control tower evacuated at 9:49 a.m. ....

Here are some other interesting facts on flight 93 from our 60-page
timeline at www.WantToKnow.info/9-11timeline60pg.

9:58 A.M. A man calls 911 from a bathroom on Flight 93, crying, "We're
being hijacked, we're being hijacked!" [Toronto Sun, 9/16/01], then
reports that "he heard some sort of explosion and saw white smoke coming
from the plane and we lost contact with him." [ABC News, 9/11/01, AP,
9/12/01] One minute after the call began, the line goes dead. [Pittsburgh
Channel, 12/6/01] The mentions of smoke and explosions of the recording
of his call are now denied. [The book Among the Heroes, 8/02, p. 264]
The person who took Felt's call is not allowed to speak to the media.
[Mirror, 9/13/02] If that's true, why is this important fact only denied
now, when the FBI got a copy of the recording on 9/11, and let the
media report the smoke and explosion story for months?

(Between 10:00-10:06 A.M.) During this time, there apparently are no
calls from Flight 93. The only exception is Richard Makely, who was
listening to the Jeremy Glick open phone line after Glick went to attack the
hijackers. A reporter summarizes Makely explaining that, "The silence
lasted two minutes, then there was screaming. More silence, followed by
more screams. Finally, there was a mechanical sound, followed by
nothing." [San Francisco Chronicle, 9/17/01] Near the end of the cockpit
voice recording, loud wind sounds can be heard. [CNN, 4/19/02, The book
Among the Heroes, 8/02, p. 270-271]

(Before 10:06 A.M.) CBS television reports at some point before the
crash that two F-16 fighters are tailing Flight 93. [Independent, 8/13/02]
Shortly after 9/11, a flight controller in New Hampshire ignores a ban
on controllers speaking to the media, and it is reported he claims
"that an F-16 fighter closely pursued Flight 93... the F-16 made 360-degree
turns to remain close to the commercial jet." "He must've seen the
whole thing," the employee said of the F-16 pilot's view of Flight 93's
crash. [AP, 9/13/01, Nashua Telegraph, 9/13/01]

10:10 AM: Flight 93 crashes in Pennsylvania. [42 minutes after contact
was lost][CNN, 9/12/02]

Please help to build a better world by spreading the news. Take care
and have a great day.

With best wishes,
Fred

Subject: [frameup] Flight 93 was definately shot down

LetsRoll911.org has discovered that Flight 93 was definately shot down.

http://www.letsroll911.org/articles/flight93shotdown.html

LetsRoll has discovered the name of the pilot as well as all other
pertinent information regarding this incident;
"At precisely 0938 hours, an alarm was sounded at Langely Air Force
Base, and those whom were on call, drinking coffee, were scrambled.
They, the Happy Hooligans, a unit of 3 F-16 aircraft, were ordered to
head toward Pennsylvania. At 0957 they spotted their target; After
confirmation orders were received, A one Major Jim Gibney fired two
sidewinder missiles at the aircraft and destroyed it in mid flight at
precisely 0958;
He was awarded a medal from the Governor one year later for his heroic
actions. The Happy Hooligans were previously stationed in North Dakota,
and moved to Langley Air Force base some months before 911 occured on a
"Temporary assignment."
Major Jim Gibney did as he was ordered and did nothing criminal. He was
merely following orders, of which he had no choice. Please do not
harrass this man or bother him for doing what his CO & ultimately George
Bush, ordered him to do. Major Jim Gibney has no reason to feel guilty
nor regret following orders. The fault lies with his superiors, and a
one, certain President George Bush who planned and engineered 911.
Please do not heap any kind of abuse onto this man, a crack fighter
pilot, one of the best in our nation, for doing what he was trained and
ordered to do. He is a good man, honest and full of Integrity as well as
unlimited discipline. He is a patriot, and was lied to and deceived.
He had no way to know that this plane wasn't a 'hostile.' Nor could he
have. The fault lies with his superiors, and President George 'Dubya'
Bush.
Flight 93 has now been forever solved by truth, and honest reporting and
investigating, from letsroll911.org!
Major Jim Gibney, please do not read this as anything but the truth that
the world deserves to know as true history. You played a part, but it
was your superiors who deceived both you and everyone else regarding
Flight 93. I didn't relish printing your name, as your innocent of any
evil doing. yet it's history, and truth, and the world deserves to know.
And your safer now that this truth is out there, than if it was not.
But the world would appreciatte an honest reply and statement from you
on this issue, but only when your able and ready.
The source of this information Mr. Gibney was very careful to point out
your high quality of charachter and lack of malice or malfeasance in
these issues. Your integrity is no way harmed by these revelations, as
you were ignorant of the total picture of what was happening that day,
and following orders as you were trained to do in an emergency.
I apologize for having to print your name, but felt it neccessary for
both the truth to come forward, and your own safety.
Major Jim Gibney..."Lets Roll"
Time to let the truth out and the perps hang. If this means a coup then
so be it. As long as the coup is meant to restore the constitution which
was shredded like toilet paper on a bums ass by George W. Bush.
"Lets Roll Major Jim!"

Phil Jayhan

According to the Christian Science Monitor, over 1,000
churches have been burned in a 4-year period of time.

You have three Jewish students that are alleged to
have burned down nine churches, and the citizens of
Alabama are thirsty for justice. The only thing that
stands between the three arsonists, and a 45 year jail
sentence, is a wave of public opinion. Nathan Moseley,
DeBusk, and Cloyd will flee to Israel if they get
bail.

I doubted at first that the kids were jews, until the
about an hour after they were caught and all media
coverage suddenly disappeared down the memory hole
like nothing happened.

Just like I saw hundreds of stories now, about some
henious crime, that turned out to be committed by jews
and then suddenly disappeared.

The fact that the holohoax seller shows up on campus

As The Arsonist Trial Draws Closer

8:27 p.m. March 19, 2006

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - Three college students accused in a
string of rural Alabama church fires will not seek
release on bond on the federal charges, their
attorneys said.

A federal magistrate judge said Thursday the three men
could be released on $50,000 bond, in cash or
property, with strict conditions. But Matthew Lee
Cloyd, Benjamin Moseley, and Russell DeBusk Jr. also
face state arson charges, and would remain jailed
while a state judge considered setting bond.

Moseley's attorney, Bill Clark, said his client had no
plans to make the federal bond in recognition of the
seriousness of the church fires and in an effort to
promote healing.

"Ben Moseley is concerned for the members of the
churches involved, the people in those communities and
the injured firefighters," Clark said Saturday in a
statement. "It is hoped that this decision will help
us move forward with efforts to resolve all of these
matters in a way that will result in reconciliation
and restoration."

Attorneys for Cloyd and DeBusk confirmed their clients
also would not seek to be released on bond. All three
suspects remained in federal custody at the Shelby
County Jail.

They were arrested March 8 on federal charges of
conspiracy and setting fire to Ashby Baptist Church in
Brierfield, in Bibb County. A federal grand jury will
hear the charges later this month.

The state arrest warrants charge Cloyd, 20, Moseley,
19, and DeBusk, 19, with arson in Bibb County, where
five fires occurred Feb. 3. A second set of fires, on
Feb. 7, destroyed four churches in Pickens, Sumter and
Greene counties.

He threw away Medical School at the University of
Alabama for Satanism and burned 9 or 10 churches.

He went to a summer camp-meeting for Satanism, and
came back with a new religion. The first thing he did
was to convert his best friend who was two years
younger than him. Then he recruited some of the other
students at the local college. He would ask them if
they wanted to go out for the weekend and find some
demons.

He told his friends this was a new religion of peace.
He said you could be a Christian and into Satanism at
the same time. What was his underlying motivation?
Matthew Cloyd said, "Let's go out this weekend and
defy the very morals of society instilled upon us by
our parents, our relatives and of course Jesus
Christ."

Some of the locals are screaming, "boys will be boys.
Well, let's see what this religion of peace led these
young men into. As of now, we have 9 churches burned,
perhaps as many as 30 deer shot, at least 3 cows
killed, and the destruction of the dreams of many
families.

According to the Christian Science Monitor, over 1,000
churches have been burned in a 4-year period of time.

TRENCHCOAT MAFIA OF COLUMBINE MASSACRE WERE ALL JEWISH

Summary

Klebold and Harris hand picked their victims. There were three shooters, and
probably four more accomplices, that helped plant bombs, and others students that
knew what was happening. At a minimum, seven of the Trench Coat Mafia, were
involved.

The suspected accomplices failed lie detectors, destroyed computer hard drives, and

The Columbine Massacre Unravels

Columbine has never made any sense. On a close examination of eyewitnesses, and
events, one can easily see that there were at least seven people involved, and
maybe a third shooter.
Basically, there were 100 bombs found that day, and Klebold and Harris didnt' bring
them in alone. And the fact that an eyewitness said he saw two cars, with seven
kids, at the school early that morning confirms there were accessories to the
massacre.
John Stone, the Sheriff of Jefferson county at the time, believed there were others
involved, but he was constantly blocked by an FBI agent named Dwayne Fuselier. To
make matters worse, Fuselier had two sons in the Trench Coat Mafia, and the FBI
saw no conflict of interest.
Motive
The standard motive for the massacre is gun control, and that leads back to Zionists.
There was a rash of similar incidences from Australia to the United Kingdom. The
latest revelation is that Fuselier is Jewish, and that fuels the fire that Columbine
was a Zionist black op, to foster the emotional climate needed to push strict gun

The Columbine Massacre

Between 11:15 and 12:05, They Killed 13 Students and Wounded Another 25

The SWAT Team That Was Afraid To Go In

Klebold Was A Time Bomb

He sung this as he killed kids ...."We hate niggers, spicks ... and let's not forget you
white P.O.S. [pieces of expletive] also. We hate you."

Klebold's Background

17-year-old Dylan Klebold's mother, Susan Yassenoff, was synagogue-going and
shul-trained. She attended Temple Israel. Her father, Leo Yassenoff, was a wealthy
commercial real-estate developer in Columbus, Ohio, and a prominent figure in the
Jewish community, and active at the Temple Israel.

Eric Harris

He shot gunned his fellow students at point-blank range.

Eric Harris's Background

Eric Harris was from New York - he transferred two yrs before the massacre, to
Colorado. He was under the influence of Luvox, an anti-depressant prescribed to
treat obsessive-compulsive disorder. His friend Seth Tenebaum, who was then a 17
year old senior at Mayo High School in Rochester, Minn. and Sapel Berg, an
18-year-old senior in Plattsburgh, each knew Harris, and his mother, when his
family lived in New York.

Harris was dating a Jewish girl, Sarah Davis - she said "Eric was angry when his
family moved from New York to Colorado" ... Harris Jewish background.

Harris Ran A Pro-Jewish Website

"If you recall your history, the Nazis came up with a 'final solution' to the Jewish
problem. Well, in case you haven't figured it out yet, I say 'Kill mankind. No one
should survive.'" Harris, who raved on the Internet about wanting to "rip the arms
off" racists, and Neo Nazis, persecution of Jews " Harris's diary said his mother is
Jewish"

Their Plan Included Using Bombs, Followed By An Escape To Israel

The boys had planted 100+ bombs all over the school - in the confusion they planned
to escape, and go to Israel. The sophistication of the bombs led police to believe
they may have received help from Zionist sources, like the JDL.

No Extradition

A journal found in Harris's bedroom alluded to a plan to escape to Israel, because of
the extradition policy of that nation. Because Israel considers Jews (Sheinbein) to
be automatic citizens, they will not extradite its citizens for trial in their home
nations.

Klebold, Harris, And Spielberg

Someone convinced them that once they were in Israel that Spielberg, or Quentin
Tarantino, would make a movie.

Propane bombs

Pipe bombs
100 + Bombs Found

Klebold and Harris wanted to kill hundreds. They had 48 carbon dioxide bombs, 27
pipe bombs, and 11 1.5-gallon propane containers, as well as 40-plus gallons of
flammable liquid and two duffel bags containing 20-pound liquefied-petroleum gas
tanks.

Each of their cars contained, two 20-pound propane tanks, another 20 gallons of
gas, pipe bombs, clocks and other combustible liquids.

Decoy bombs were tested in a field, and the police detained suspects, but later
released them.

Siegel, Cohen and Smith

The Trench Coat Mafia Was Formed To Protect Jewish Kids

Joe Stair, one of the original members of the Trench Coat Mafia, said the "Trench
Coat Mafia" was organized because a Gay Jewish kid was picked on by Jocks.
Jonathan Greene, Zach Heckler, Kristen Thiebault, Cory Friesen, Nickie Markham,
Sarah Marsh, Benjamin Sargeant and other members of the Trench Coat Mafia, were
mostly Jewish.

Targets Weren't Random

In the library their targets were a black kid, and a group called 'Christians for Young
Life'. A few of the trench coat mafia had younger siblings in the library, but they
were untouched.

One girl was shot because she was holding a bible. When kids put 13 crosses on the
Columbine lawn, local Jewish groups had them removed.
Chris Morris
Other Jewish Kids Involved

Chris Morris, another suspect, was arrested. Morris alibi was, that he was at Cory
Friesen's house, playing video games, that were rented at Video City. Listen to this
audio between Morris and the police.

Students believe there was a third shooter, despite the Cory alibi.

Nathan Dykeman, who received $16,000 for TV interviews, had problems on lie
detector. Dykeman was Klebold's best friend, and made this audio with him.

Nathan Dykeman

Other Suspects

Brooks Brown, another suspect, was spared and went on to write books on
Columbine. When Harris saw Brown at school, he told him "Go home".

Police accused Brown of being in on the massacre. Police statement. In an odd move,
Randy Brown, advised by his sister, arranged for a private polygraph

Search warrants were issued on Cory Freisen activities.

Nathan Klein

Evidence Points To Others Involved

A witness said that about 10:40 a.m. Tuesday -- 40 minutes before the gunfire
erupted -- he saw Klebold's black BMW carrying four teenagers about a block from
the school. The driver made a U-turn and drove off, followed closely by a second car,
a tan sedan, carrying two more teenagers.

Sheriff John Stone "I've never thought it was just two [suspects] because of the
amount of stuff that was brought in. But we don't have enough to charge anyone.''

Patrick McDuffee gives names
John Stone
The questions remain:

How did so many bombs get in the school? Who were the other four, seen in the car,
with Klebold. Was there a third shooter,as fifty students claim. Who were Klebold's
accomplices?

FBI Agent Assigned to the Investigation Had Sons Involved

FBI Agent Dwayne Fuselier had sons involved. His boy helped make a movie, using
Klebold and Harris, about the coming massacre, and the other son, Brian, amazingly
escaped the massacre.

They were members of the Trench Coat Mafia.

Click this ~ Fuselier's son works with the Bronfman family, and the Jewish Film
Institute. Fuselier stand is Klebold was a confused young Jewish boy, and Harris was
a psychopath.

Denver's SWAT Team

The SWAT team finally moved in at around 2:30 PM, 2 hours after the shooters
committed suicide. Despite having seen signs in the windows that said victims were
bleeding to death 2 hours earlier, this was the fastest they went into action.

Police were afraid

Parent's lawsuits contend that police may have shot innocent students. According to
the sheriff's report, twelve officers fired a total of 141 times at Columbine that day.
Three Denver SWAT veterans fired 105 of those rounds.

These Three Bought The Guns, But There Were Other Suspects

Morris is suspected of helping Harris and Klebold to carry duffel bags filled with
bombs into the school. A teenager was also seen with Harris and Klebold in the
parking lot. Klebold's black BMW was seen 40 minutes before the shooting began,
driving near the school with four teenagers inside.

Police believe that, while there may have been others with prior knowledge of the
shooting, Harris and Klebold were the only shooters.

In this episode, the Jewish community had another Leopold and Loeb on their hands,
but they cleverly arrange for Michael Moore to seize the opportunity and build a
case for gun control.

Sheriff Refuses To Release Tapes

Klebold and Harris made videos, and kept diaries, describing their plans for the
massacre, and the sheriff refuses to release them, because of a possible
anti-Semitic connections. Both kids were very racist and anti-Christian.

Videos they made.

Summary

The suspected accomplices failed lie detectors, destroyed computer hard drives, and
had interlocking alibis.

(1) Be careful about Porn - by Peter Myers, April 30, 2006

I use a number of email addresses, but principally myers@cyberone.com.au.

The others receive a little bit of spam or porn, but my main address is deluged
by it.

This can hardly be accidental - it's a punishment for my truth-seeking. An
attempt to hinder my work, by slowing me down. And possibly a trap.

Many of the porn emails - with lurid subject lines - contain links one can click
on to see the sex scene.

Never click on any of them. If you do, a record may be kept of your visiting the
site, and this could be used against you in future - eg to blackmail you, or
besmirch your reputation.

Apart from that, it would reveal your weakness to the sender, who would be
further encouraged.

The sender of many of these porn emails is a woman - or so it seems. Don't
believe it - that's just a lure. Instead, see a Mossad operative - a man -
behind the subterfuge.

Some people, deluged by spam and porn, change their email address. I refuse to
do so, and have found ways to beat off the attack. It does not slow me down, or
defeat me in any way. Instead, I get an insight into my emenies' mindset and
grovelling lowliness.

I have made it a practice never to change a single link on my website, ever
since it went public. That is, anyone who bookmarked one of my pages some years
ago, will find the same link working today. The only exception is pages under
development, which I might mention in these email discussions but which I had
not listed in my official index at
http://users.cyberone.com.au/myers/download.html

Turning away from porn does not mean becoming puritanical. On the contrary,
Pornography is miles away from Art of the erotic kind. The difference is the
Pornography treats the other merely as an object, a body, whereas Art depicts
the other primarily as a person, a soul.

As an example, I recall cases of seeing a woman who appeared beautiful, but upon
opening her mouth and revealing her mind, any such beauty vanished.

Apart from that, some things are best left to the imagination.

Yesterday, at a garage sale, I heard of a case of some people in this area,
caught growing hydroponic marijuana underground.

The hydroponic kind is the kind being blamed for "schizophrenia" among marijuana
users. That's because, lacking soil, the roots absorb the many dangerous
chemicals put into the nutrient mix. In contrast, marijuana the herb, the
"weed", has long been used in Hindu and Islamic societies, moderately, without
reported adverse consequences.

Anyway, these underground growers were caught because their electricity bill had
blown out.

And that reminds me of the Promis computer software - used by all police
agencies - described by Ari Ben-Menashe. He mentions (but not in the extract at
this link) that the software keeps track of changes in electricity and water
use: http://users.cyberone.com.au/myers/vanunu.html

(2) Letter to Eric Hufschmid - by Peter Myers, April 30, 2006

Eric,

The 2005 edition of Painful Deceptions is quite different from the 2003 edition:
more professional but less personal.

It shows no footage of you, or photo of you, and does not use your voice.

It says that you produced it, but in some places talks of you in the third
person, as "Hufschmid did this" etc; yet I recall cases of the first-person too.

This is a puzzle to me. Perhaps you felt that you had to lower your profile ...
for security reasons.

You have now parted ways with some of your earlier associates. This is
understandable to me - you have discovered Zionism - and Mossad - which you seem
not to have done in 2003.

I, on the other hand, was immediately onto Mossad. Within the first week after
911, I noticed Jared Israel, of Emperors' Clothes, deriding claims of Mossad

involvement, in a discussion forum at Pravda.

Conspiracy analysts are divided in many ways; this is not surprising, since we
are all groping for the truth "through a glass darkly".

But the biggest divide is between those who "write out" any Israeli/Mossad
involvement, and those who "write it in".

The former find themselves hitting the "glass wall" - the one they don't know is
there until they hit it.

Those who "write out" the Israel tie want to blame Bush, Cheney, the Christian
Right etc. They would have a large number of people involved in a 911 conspiracy
and cover-up - scam as you call it.

I on the other hand think the number of true conspirators small. That's a
necessity for safety reasons. There would be a lot of other people who would be
used by them - dupes, some possibly done away with after their unwitting
service.

Mossad's taste for using other agencies to do its dirty work was described by a
former Mossad agent, Victor Ostrovsky:

How Mossad Got America to Bomb Libya & Fight Iraq
http://users.cyberone.com.au/myers/ostrovsky.html.

Ostrovsky, a former Mossad agent, says its motto is "By way of deception, thou
shalt do war".

Mossad, he says, provoked America's air strike on Libya in 1986 by making it
appear that terrorist orders were being transmitted from the Libyan government
to its embassies around the world. But the messages originated in Israel and
were re-transmitted by a special communication device - a "Trojan horse" -
Mossad had placed inside Libya.

Mossad next moved against Saddam, drawing the United States to make war against
him.

Ari Ben-Menashe, a former Shin Bet agent, similarly showed how Mossad used
unsuspecting Palestinians to assassinate its enemies:
http://users.cyberone.com.au/myers/vanunu.html

One can see Mossad's mindset. It likes such solutions because they are elegant.

Even so, there is more to US history than Mossad. Those who talk of a "British"
or "Illuminati" or "Luciferian" conspiracy (Larouche, Webster Tarpley, Henry
Makow, Barry Chamish, et. al.) are partly right too, in the sense that there at
least three major conspiracies or factions:

1. "British" (which includes the US)
2. Zionist
3. Socialism of the Trotskyist or H. G. Wells kind - the Internationalist kind,
not Stalin's.

I have written up the relationship among the three at:
http://users.cyberone.com.au/myers/british-conspiracy.html

E. J. Dillon wrote in his book on the Peace Conference of Versailles that it was
dominated by the Anglo-Saxon powers, and that they in turn were dominated by
their Jewish members:

'Of all the collectivities whose interests were furthered at the Conference, the
Jews had perhaps the most resourceful and certainly the most influential
exponents. ... a considerable number of Delegates believed that the real
influences behind the Anglo-Saxon peoples were Semitic' (The Peace Conference,
Hutchinson & Co.,
London, 1919, p. 422).

More at http://users.cyberone.com.au/myers/stalin.html

Then, after the next World War, there was another plan for World Government -
the Baruch Plan, authored by David Lilienthal and Bernard Baruch (both Jewish),
and put to Stalin in 1946 by the American Government:
http://users.cyberone.com.au/myers/baruch-plan.html

Stalin himself was murdered in 1953, within two months of the "Doctors Plot".
The murderers were in two factions: a Russian one (led by Khruschev), and a
Jewish one (Beria, Kaganovich):
http://users.cyberone.com.au/myers/death-of-stalin.html

It is difficult to unravel 911 without getting into wider conspiracy analysis,
such as my website is devoted to: http://users.cyberone.com.au/myers/

On the other hand, "generalists" like me need the different kinds of
"specialists", such as yourself.

I have two DVDs of Confronting the Evidence (2005). One has Painful Deceptions
(2005), and the other does not - even though the cardboard cover says that it is
included.

(3) Voltaire and Jews

Date: Sat, 29 Apr 2006 23:12:53 +0500 From: "Eric Walberg" <eric@albatros.uz>

I've just been discovering Voltaire. What an incredible philosopher. Sooo
contemporary. I'd love to reader more of what he says about Jews but have no
access here. Do you have something in your library or can you add something?
Many thanks if either is the case.

Eric

http://www.jewishtribalreview.org/13dicta.htm
http://library.flawlesslogic.com/jtr_01.htm "The Jewish nation dares to display
an irreconcilable hatred toward all nations, and revolts against all masters;
always superstitious, always greedy for the well-being enjoyed by others, always
barbarous -- cringing in misfortune and insolent in prosperity."

-- Voltaire, (1694-1778), one of the greatest French eighteenth century writers,
from Essai sur le Moeurs

Ironically, notes Jacob Katz, "Voltaire did more than any other single man to
shape the rationalist trend that moved European society toward improving the
status of the Jew." [KATZ, From, p. 34] Still historically remembered (according
to the Encyclopedia Britannica, 1994) "as a crusader against tyranny and
bigotry," Voltaire turned repeatedly and angrily against Jews who he believed to
epitomize such "tyranny and bigotry." Jews, he complained, "are ... the greatest
scoundrels who have ever sullied the face of the globe ... They are, all of
them, born with raging fanaticism in their hearts, just as the Bretons and
Germans are born with blond hair. I would not in the least be surprised if these
people would not some day become deadly to the human race ... You [Jews] have
surpassed all nations in impertinent fables, in bad conduct, and in barbarism.
You deserve to be punished, for this is your destiny." [GOULD, p. 91] On another
occasion Voltaire charged that "the Jew does not belong to any place except that
place which he makes money; would he not just as easily betray the King on
behalf of the Emperor as he would the Emperor for the King?" [KATZ, J, Fro, p.
44]

Thirty of 118 of Voltaire's essays in his Dictionary of Philosophy address Jews,
usually disparagingly. Voltaire calls Jews "our masters and our enemies ... whom
we detest ... the most abominable people in the world." [PRAGER, p. 128

****** and this tantalizing bit from Nietzsche:

"Jews chose voluntarily and with a profound talent for self-preservation the
side of all those instincts that makes for decadence, not as if mastered by
them, but as if detecting in them a power by which the world could be defied.
The Jews are the very opposite of decadents ... they have put themselves at the
head of all decadent movements." -- Friedrich Nietzche (1844-1900) [AGUS, p.
295]

AND this from Fichte:

"I see no other means of protecting ourselves against them," wrote Fichte,
"[other] than by conquering their Promised Land and sending them all there"
(Lewis, 111-112). Russian anarchist Mikhail Bakunin declared that Jews were "one
exploiting sect, one people of leeches, one single devouring parasite closely
and intimately bound together not only across national boundaries, but also
across all divergences of political opinion ... [Jews have] that mercantile
passion which constitutes one of the principle traits of their national
character" (Lewis, 113).

and among Soviet emigres:

in interviews (at a Harvard archive) with 329 refugees from the Soviet Union in
the early 1950s: "A detailed examination of the background information of those
who registered hostile attitudes to Jews reveals that they were of various age,
national, educational, and status groups, and that they left the USSR at
different periods" (Korey, 11). The top six "anti-Semitic" assertions by this
diverse group of people included assertions that

(1) Jews occupy a privileged and favored position in Soviet society. 2) Jews are
business- and money-minded. 3) Jews are clannish and help each other. 4) Jews
are aggressive and 'pushy.' 5) Jews are sly, calculating, and manipulative, and
know how to 'use a situation.' 6) Jews are deceitful, dishonest, unprincipled,
insolent, and impudent (Korey, 5).

[critics of Jews] represented a bewildering range of opinion and personality
types" (Lindemann, 13). And why is this "uncomfortable [for Jews] to recognize?"
Because, by even a child's exercise of logic and common sense, the common
denominator of all such disparate people can only be the enduring truths about
Jews as each observer experienced them in varying historical and cultural
circumstances.

(4) Jewish Record Producer Behind Hispanic Anthem

<rowan.berkeley@googlemail.com>

Briton behind anthem that enraged Bush

Tony Allen-Mills, The Sunday Times (London), April 30, 2006
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/newspaper/0,,176-2158064,00.html

A BRITISH record producer who started his career as a tea-boy in a London studio
has emerged as the man behind a Spanish-language version of The Star-Spangled
Banner, America's national anthem, that has upset President George W Bush. Adam
Kidron, 46, released Nuestro Himno - Our Anthem - on Friday as a gesture of
support for Hispanic immigrants. He has outraged rightwingers who complain that
the Spanish version's new lyrics are confrontational, and that immigrants do not
make enough effort to learn English. America's 40m Latinos have declared
tomorrow a day of protest to back demands for improved citizenship rights for
11m Hispanic illegal immigrants. As the country braced itself for the shutdown
of schools, restaurants and building sites, Bush declared at a White House press
conference: "I think the national anthem ought to be sung in English." Other
right-wingers have complained that the new version is disrespectful to American
patriotism and divisively belligerent in tone. One of the Spanish lines - sung
by a Latin star named Pitbull - translates as: "My people keep fighting/ It's
time to break the chains."

Kidron was unrepentant yesterday. As chief executive of Urban Box Office, which
specialises in Latin music, he works closely with immigrant musicians. His idea
for a revised national anthem came when a Republican congressman declared on
television that illegal immigrants ought to be kicked out. Kidron said he was
"disgusted" by America's lack of generosity towards workers whose cheap labour
is regarded by many as crucial to the US economy. He looked around for a record
that would be "a song of pride for Latinos" and hit on the idea of Latin
musicians reinterpreting The Star- Spangled Banner. "I suppose I had a faint
idea that if you do something a bit different, someone always complains," he
said. "But it just seemed really cool to do something that was artful, emotional
and, to some extent, patriotic." Instead, Kidron's New York office was flooded
with hate mail complaining that he was demeaning the national anthem and
discouraging immigrants from embracing American culture. As the US television
networks scrambled to book him for interviews he said: "I'm afraid we may be
stoking prejudice. We don't seem to be much of a cultural bridge."

Kidron built a successful career in London in the 1980s producing artists such
as Ian Dury and the Blockheads, Neneh Cherry and Aztec Camera. He arrived in
America in the 1990s and has developed Urban Box Office as a specialist
entertainment company focused on Latin markets. Among the artists featured on
Nuestro Himno are Gloria Trevi, a Mexican pop diva, Ivy Queen, a Puerto Rican
star, and Wyclef Jean, representing the Haitian immigrant community. Kidron said
he was appalled by the argument that Hispanic immigrants should leave their past
behind in order to become Americans. "Look at how many Americans parade their
Irish roots on St Patrick's Day," he said. "And go down to Little Italy in New
York. When you hear people speaking Italian in those restaurants, you think, oh
good, it's authentic, the food must be good. Yet it seems to be a qualification
for Hispanic immigrants that they mustn't carry the flag of the country they
were born in and they mustn't sing in their own language because it proves they
are not assimilating." He described Bush's remarks as "ridiculous".

(5) Tariq Aziz asked to give evidence against George Galloway

Galloway inquiry wants Saddam deputy to testify

From Daniel McGrory and Ali Hamdani in Baghdad

The Times April 29, 2006

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,7374-2156507,00.html

BRITISH diplomats in Baghdad have asked Tariq Aziz, Iraq's former deputy prime
minister, to help an investigation into allegations that George Galloway was
given cash by Saddam Hussein under the Oil-for-Food programme.

The diplomats made the secret approach through Mr Aziz's lawyer this week on
behalf of Parliament's so-called "sleaze buster". The lawyer, Badie Izzat Arief,
claimed that they offered to try and secure Mr Aziz immunity from prosecution on
any charges arising from the Oil-for-Food scandal.

Embassy officials want to meet Mr Aziz, 70, in the US-run detention centre where
he is held with other top members of Saddam's regime to put a series of
questions from Sir Philip Mawer, the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards.

Sir Philip is investigating claims that the MP for Bethnal Green & Bow took
money under the UN Oil-for-Food programme - a charge that Mr Galloway
strenuously denies and about which he has already successfully sued and won
damages from one national newspaper.

Mr Arief told The Times that his client has been interrogated 312 times by the
CIA and UN investigators since his arrest in April 2003, but this was the first
British approach."We were surprised to hear from the British, but let's see what
they want," Mr Arief said.

"The main question I believe is whether money was paid by anyone in Iraq to Mr
Galloway's charity, the Mariam Appeal."

He said that US officials had asked his client more than 100 detailed questions
about Western politicians alleged to have received money from Saddam, but none
about Mr Galloway.

"The CIA haven't asked about Mr Galloway. They are obsessed with Jacques Chirac.
Mr Aziz told them: â*~I find it strange you want revenge on Chirac. He is the
respected President of France, so I regard the question as insulting.' "

Mr Aziz, who also served as Saddam's Foreign Minister, spent a Christmas holiday
with Mr Galloway, in Baghdad, in 1999. Mr Galloway described him as "an eminent
diplomat and intellectual person".

In the same interview Mr Arief said that Mr Aziz, who surrendered to US forces
soon after the 2003 invasion and has never been charged, is suffering from
deteriorating health.

He revealed how Saddam's former right-hand man now lives in a small cell in what
was a Republican Guard barracks, now part of Camp Cropper, the huge US base near
Baghdad airport.

The urbane, English-speaking envoy with a passion for handstitched suits now
shuffles about in a tatty tracksuit and flip-flops in his 6ft by 5ft cell, with
just a narrow bed, a hardback chair and a small cupboard for furniture.

"He is a shrunken figure," Mr Arief said. "He can't walk unaided, doesn't eat
properly and isn't taking care of himself. The Americans are keeping him in the
hope of browbeating him into testifying against Saddam. As a matter of
conscience, he won't," Mr Arief said.

George Galloway said last night that it was "very significant" that Britain had
approached Mr Aziz to seek information about him before next week's local
elections, in which his Respect Party is expected to take seats from Labour. Mr
Galloway said: "I could question the propriety of visiting a political prisoner
who has had heart attacks and strokes and who is being systematically denied
family visits, medical visits and legal visits."

He added: "But I have every confidence that Mr Aziz will have told them that
there is no truth whatsoever in these persistent allegations."

End Time Values. The Demise of America

Stojgniev O'Donnell,
Pravda.Ru, 27.04.2006 http://english.pravda.ru/opinion/columnists/79605-0

Russian Christians now admit that the concept of human rights and liberties as
advocated by America and the West has no application in contemporary Russia.
That country is drowning in vices directly linked to the West's concept of
inherent rights and liberties: abortion; homosexuality; dissolution of
traditional marriage; pornography; slavery, prostitution, and exploitation of
the oppressed, etc. The Russian Orthodox now understand that such American
"values" are, in fact, vices which harm every human society as a collective.
Such American "rights" have not brought happiness. They represent the deviance
of the cult of the individual. From my Third World perspective, I am amazed that
some Americans continue to argue that America's virtue is that it protects such
"rights" (=vices).

I focus here on similarities between America and the Soviet Union, two rival
systems which have collapsed. Both systems boasted some admirable ideals. There
was a period of several decades in the late nineteenth and early twentieth
century when America offered immigrants numerous opportunities, which many
citizens took advantage of. The Soviet record is more spotted. It took me some
time to understand the Soviets' rabid anti-religiousness. Why did the Soviets
work so tirelessly to destroy traditional Russian culture, much of which is, in
fact, oriented towards biblical Christian socialism? It came, of course, from
the desire of Jews, the major component of Soviet communism, to take revenge
upon Christian Slavs. A natural reaction, one might apologize, of history's
formerly powerless against the powerful. But might Soviet communism have
"worked" without the Jews? Probably not, because so much of Soviet communism was
based upon radical, indiscriminate violence (against Christians and others),
something from which no good ever comes: a lesson to any Muslim listening. (Ends
never justify means). The Soviet Union fell apart, such that Ole Soviet King
Cole Putin, despite his many talents, has been unable to put it back together
again.

We are now witnessing the demise of America. For decades, America successfully
marketed its "values" throughout the world (accompanied often by hefty cash
subsidies for corrupt, subservient regimes). The aims of the American ideology
were no less ambitious than those of Soviet communism, and the Americans were
victorious over the Soviets, for a couple of years anyway.

But after the collapse of the Soyuz, the shallowness of American values became
evident throughout the world. It turns out now that American-style Brown'n'Root
democracy does not, in fact, suit Iraq, a land long plagued by European
colonialism and internal division. It is now clear that America never intended
to export its American-style democracy to totalitarian regimes in Israel, Egypt,
or Saudi Arabia. American democracy is a sham, all double-talk, just like the
Soviets' spin on the fraternal brotherhood of nations.

Democracy for several generations now has not existed in America. The large
corporations continue to increase their power, irregardless of the red or blue
façade of the regime. The moral pedigree of a Clinton is as nasty as that of a
Bush. As identified by a recent controversial study ignored by the American
media, it is, indeed, a cabal of pro-Israeli groups which controls America's
purse-strings and foreign policy.

America is dying. I assure those Americans who still feel secure about a regular
pay check, their job perks, vacations, company cars and cell phones, annual
bonuses, benefits, government entitlements, U.S. dollar-based investments and
accounts, etc etc., that their lifestyle is crumbling. There is no longer any
right or logic in America's prosperity. What gives Americans the right to
consume the bulk of the world's energy resources? By what right does an American
drive a hummer while much of the rest of the world walks, rides bicycles, and
commutes by public transportation? No longer can America's traditional rights be
excused. Those rights are mostly derived from a narrow, archaic Anglo-Saxon
tradition: the "right" to carry (and use/abuse) firearms and the "right" to
exploit land and natural resources for personal benefit. The American Middle
Class has outlived its period of historical relevance and soon will be replaced,
by Hispanics, India's Indians, and Chinese. Those groups have no qualms about
bearing and rearing children.

It is the twenty-first century. America is rat-infested history. America will
fall, overrun by fatwah-inspired Muslims; wild, dispossessed, self-identified
Apache or Aztec guerillas; looting, reparations-deluded African-Americans;
indignant Eskimos; flaming cross-dressers and advocates of every sort of
politically correct nonsense. History doesn't last forever, and anyway, America
had a couple of good centuries before it turned to cr*p.

Should Israel Live with the Iranian Bomb?
By Edward Bernard Glick

Thomas Friedman of the New York Times has written that "I'd rather live with a nuclear Iran" because it is "the wisest thing under the circumstances."

Friedman may feel this way and the United States may feel this way, as well. But is it wise for Israel to feel this way, to avert its eyes from a nuclear Iran and to close its ears to Iran's calls for its destruction?

In October 2005 the Iranian president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, said that the "Zionist regime" must "be wiped off the face of the Earth." In April 2006 he called Israel a "fake regime" that "cannot logically continue to live." Since he apparently favors a second Holocaust, even as he denies that the first one occurred, Iran's development and deployment of nuclear weapons would jeopardize the very existence of Israel.

Thanks to David Ben Gurion, Israel's founding prime minister and first minister of defense, and Shimon Peres, the last surviving member of the Israeli Old Guard, the Jewish state has possessed a nuclear arsenal for 40 years. In a 1999 paper prepared for the Air War College, U. S. Army Lieutenant Colonel Warner D. Farr labels it the "Third Temple's Holy of Holies" and he argued that with it Israel has been able to deter its enemies. And Michael Karpin, the author of the 2006 book "The Bomb in the Basement," calls Israel's nuclear arsenal the "absolute deterrent." But the truth is that Israel can only deter Iran if Iran has the wisdom and the sanity to be deterred.

Another argument one hears is that if Iran can live with an Israeli nuclear bomb, why can't Israel live with an Iranian one? The answer is that no Israeli leader threatens to eradicate Iran.

Geography is the greatest reason for Israel's not living with an Iranian bomb. Israel is so tiny ? smaller than New Jersey ? that any nuclear exchange between the two countries may well extinguish the Jewish state.

Since world public opinion will blame the Israelis for whatever they do preemptively to save themselves, they might as well do what's needed and what works. As soon as it is clear that further nonmilitary pressures upon Iran are useless. Israel must, with or without American help, strike first and strike successfully. It must take out not only Iran's nuclear weaponry, but its delivery systems and command and control centers as well, because it is always better for Jews to be alive and condemned, than dead and eulogized.

An Israeli attack upon Iran will be condemned by the Arabs, the Muslims, the anti-Semites, the anti-Zionists, the anti-Americans, the appeasers. the United States, the European Union, the United Nations, the Pope, the Quakers, and the "war-can-never-be-an-option-in-the-twenty-first-century" postmodernists in academia and elsewhere.

Much of the criticism will be phony, however. In 1981, when Israel destroyed Saddam Hussein's French-built Osirak reactor, located 18 miles south of Baghdad, the Saudi students in my Middle East politics class at Temple University condemned Israel roundly. But the next day, they all came to my office and asked me to tell my secretary to leave. They then insisted that I close the door. Only when he was assured of complete privacy, did the leader of the group, whose English was impeccable, say to me: "Thank God that the Israelis bombed Iraq yesterday. For only God knows when that crazy Iraqi would have used a nuclear bomb against Saudi Arabia, with which he contests the leadership of the Arab world?"

When I asked him why he and his compatriots didn't say so in class, he answered: "We were afraid to. At the least, our fellowships from ARAMCO (the Arab-American Oil Company) would have been revoked. And at the most, we would have been ordered home to be imprisoned or killed."

At the news conference at which he announced Israel's destruction of the Iraqi reactor, Prime Minister Menachem Begin said that ''despite all the condemnations which were heaped on Israel for the last 24 hours, Israel has nothing to apologize for. In simple logic, we decided to act now, before it is too late. We shall defend our people with all the means at our disposal." He added that "Israel will not tolerate any nuclear weapons in the region."

Does Israel's present prime minister, Ehud Olmert, have the courage to emulate his predecessor? Do the Israel Defense Forces have the pluck to do to Iran today what they did to Iraq a quarter of a century ago? And are the Israeli political and military establishments willing to use tactical nuclear weapons if they conclude that conventional weapons won't do the job?

If Olmert gives the order, and the IDF pulls it off, the mad mullahs of Persia will be gone and the Middle East will be a much less dangerous place. But let no one think that my Saudi students or Israel's other foes will publicly thank the "Zionist regime" for this.

Listen to Neil Young's "Let's Impeach the President" here:
http://www.afterdowningstreet.org/node/9726

Lets impeach the president for lying
And leading our country into war
Abusing all the power that we gave him
And shipping all our money out the door
He's the man who hired all the criminals
The White House shadows who hide behind closed doors
And bend the facts to fit with their new stories
Of why we have to send our men to war
Let's impeach the president for spying
On citizens inside their own homes
Breaking every law in the country
By tapping our computers and telephones
What if Al Qaeda blew up the levees
Would New Orleans have been safer that way
Sheltered by our governments protection
Or was someone just not home that day?
Lets impeach the president
For hijacking our religion and using it to get elected
Dividing our country into colors
And still leaving black people neglected
Thank god hes racking down on steroids
Since he sold his old baseball team
Theres lot of people looking at big trouble
But of course the president is clean
Thank God

http://www.afterdowningstreet.org/node/9726

Reasons to Impeach include:
* Violating provisions of the 1978 Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, a felony;
* Violating provisions of the Geneva Convention by authorizing torture;
* Holding American citizens without due process;
* Manipulating intelligence and lying to Congress in order to initiate an illegal war against Iraq,
resulting in loss of life and diminished security; and
* Leaking classified information and exposing a covert operative --
Valerie Plame -- as means of silencing his critics.

Bush Impeachment First Follow up - People go Rushing for a Copy of Jefferson's Manual
Does the idea of a State Legislature initiating Impeachment Proceedings make sense?
by Steven Leser

vernment

http://www.opednews.com

Steven Leser

When you scoop the rest of the press on an item like this, the story takes on a life of its own. I cannot possibly respond to all the emails I received on the subject (my apologies) and I have received threats, condemnations, congratulations, atta-boys as well as all sorts of questions about how this happened and whether or not something like this is appropriate or can 'fly'. It is to the latter that I will devote some time in this Op-Ed.

First, this action by the Illinois legislature and now that of California and Vermont caught a lot of people off guard. How can a state legislature do this? It seems so out of line to most people. But to Thomas Jefferson and the framers, it was right in line with their way of thinking about the power of a state legislature. Most people forget the important role that state legislatures play in selecting the President and how much additional power was initially given to state legislatures. Before Article 1 Section 3 of the Constitution was modified by the seventeenth amendment in 1913, the state legislatures themselves selected the US Senators for each state. The people of each state had no direct right to vote for their senators. The people still have no direct vote for President. Article 2 section 1 of the Constitution says "Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an Elector." The Twelfth amendment then goes on to describe how those electors go about their business to elect a President and Vice President.

Now that we see that it is not all that unusual for a state legislature to impact the office of the President, what might happen if one of these state legislatures votes to submit recommendations for impeachment to the House of Representatives? My guess is that the Speaker of the House would go running to the House Parliamentarian for guidance. The House Parliamentarian is not a member of congress per se but is an individual appointed by the Speaker of the House to guide the house on all issues regarding House Rules and Parliamentary procedure. This is one of the many places where this gets interesting. The current House Parliamentarian, John Sullivan, is fairly new, having been appointed only 11 months ago. The Previous House Parliamentarian, Charles Johnson, served over ten years and was widely regarded by members on both sides of the aisle as non partisan and an expert on the rules and procedures of the House. Mr. Sullivan is likely to be called on shortly to render one of the most important judgments on the rules of the House in the last 100 or so years. How will he make his decision? It is likely to be guided by a number of documents and precedents. Every two years, the new congress adopts a set of rules, this 109th congress being no different. The rules for this congress can be viewed at http://www.rules.house.gov/archives/109th.pdf . One will note that the Final Rule of this US House of Representatives, Rule Twenty Eight, General Provisions is as follows:
RULE XXVIII
GENERAL PROVISIONS
1. The provisions of law that constituted the Rules of the House at the end of the previous Congress shall govern the House in all cases to which they are applicable, and the rules of parliamentary practice comprised by Jefferson�s Manual shall govern the House in all cases to which they are applicable and in which they are not inconsistent with the Rules and orders of the House.
Also of probable note to Mr. Sullivan will be "Parliamentary Reference Sources: House of Representatives" - by Thomas Carr, http://www.rules.house.gov/archives/rl30787.pdf Updated March 16, 2004 which has as its Summary:
House procedures are not based solely on the chamber�s rules. The foundations of House parliamentary procedure also include constitutional mandates, rules of parliamentary practice set forth in Jefferson�s Manual, published precedents, rulemaking statutes, committee rules, "memorandums of understanding" regarding committee jurisdiction, the rules of each party�s caucus or conference, and informal practices. Parliamentary reference sources provide information about how and when these foundations of House procedures govern different parliamentary situations.
----------------------------------
Where all of this will take Mr. Sullivan is anyone's guess, but I see nothing yet in the House Rules which would prevent a legislature's impeachment resolution from being accepted as a proposed bill in the House.

Senator Robert Byrd to President Bush: We Can Impeach You !

Address:http://www.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2006/4/27/194049.shtml

In a speech on the Senate floor on Tuesday, Senator Robert Byrd,
pledged to put President Bush on trial in the Senate if the House
impeaches him.

Addressing the president in absentia, Sen. Byrd began by warning that

"Congress retains all its original powers under the Constitution"

"You better read that again in the Constitution,"
Byrd said, declaring that the Senate's powers include "serving as a
court of impeachment.

"You better believe it, Mr. President," Byrd continued.
"The Senate can send you home. You better believe that."

Senator Byrd then added: "If the House impeaches you, the Senate
will try you.
The Senate, don't forget it, serves as a court of impeachment and
has an equal say with the House on legislation."
Over at Democrats.com, where a transcript of Byrd's remarks turned
up, the outburst was greeted enthusiastically.

Reacting to the West Virginia Democrat's impeachment threat, one poster
declared, "Man, I like the sound of that . . . you've got to like
whatever gumption some of these guys found while they were on their
congressional break."

Leftist Leaders Reject U.S. Trade
Plan

Venezuela, Bolivia, Cuba form economic/political alliance
Sunday, April 30, 2006 Posted: 0907 GMT (1707 HKT)

HAVANA, Cuba (AP) -- Bolivia's new left-leaning president signed a pact
with Cuba and Venezuela on Saturday that rejects U.S.-backed free trade
and promises a socialist version of regional commerce and cooperation.

With Cuba's Fidel Castro and Venezuela's Hugo Chavez seated nearby,
President Evo Morales signed an updated version of the so-called
Bolivarian Alternative for the Americas, adding Bolivia as a third
member.

"In Cuba and Venezuela we find unconditional solidarity," Morales said.
"They are the best allies for changing Bolivia."

The document signed included the same language of the political
declaration signed last year by Castro and Chavez. That pact contained
much leftist rhetoric and few specifics, but was followed by closer
economic ties and boosted trade between the two vehemently anti-U.S.
governments.

After Bolivia was joined in the earlier agreement on Saturday, the
three presidents signed a second document with more concrete proposals.

Cuba promised to send Bolivia doctors to provide medical care to poor
people, and teachers to conduct literacy campaigns. Venezuela will send
gasoline to the Andean nation and set up a $100 million (�80 million)
fund for development programs and a $30 million (�24 million) fund for
other social projects.

Cuba and Venezuela also agreed to buy all of Bolivia's soybeans,
recently left without markets after Colombia signed a free trade pact
with the United States.

Dressed in his typical olive green uniform, Castro, who turns 80 in
August, said sharing the spotlight with two younger, like-minded
leaders "makes me the happiest man in the world."

Afterward, the three presidents were greeted by tens of thousands of
cheering people gathered in the broad Plaza of the Revolution to
celebrate the signing.

The agreement is "a clever mixture of politics and economics, weighted
toward the politics," said Gary Hufbauer, an economist at the Institute
for International Economics, a Washington think tank.

Venezuela-Cuba trade is expected to reach more than $3.5 billion (�2.9
billion) this year -- about 40 percent higher than in 2005.

The deal signed between Chavez and Castro has Venezuela -- the world's
fifth largest oil exporter and a major supplier to the United States --
selling 90,000 barrels a day of crude to the communist-run island at
international market prices, but in exchange for agricultural products
and other services instead of cash.

The addition of Bolivia will beef up the grouping's economic potential
with the Andean nation's vast natural gas reserves.

Morales, a union leader who was swept to power on a leftist platform
and has railed against American economic and drug policies, vowed
during his campaign to be "the nightmare of the U.S. government."

He, like Chavez, has tried to maintain a vibrant private sector while
claiming an ever-larger state role in managing the economy. He has also
toned down his rhetoric since taking office in January.

The Cuba-Venezuela deal -- known by its Spanish acronym ALBA, also the
word for dawn -- provided a framework for the leaders to blast
Washington's efforts to expand its free trade with Latin American
countries.

The U.S.-backed Free Trade Area of the Americas hemispheric trade pact
stalled last year, but Washington since has signed nine free-trade
agreements with Latin American countries.

The three presidents called the FTAA a U.S. effort to "annex" Latin
America. Chavez and Morales have warned they could pull their countries
from the Andean Community economic bloc if members Colombia, Peru and
Ecuador go through with trade pacts with the United States.

Colombia and Peru have reached such agreements with Washington.
Negotiations between the United States and Ecuador were suspended after
nearly two weeks of street protests in March by indigenous groups in
Ecuador opposed to such a pact.

"According to any reasonable definition of the term, this is not a
trade agreement," Michael Shifter, a political analyst with the
Inter-American Dialogue in Washington, said of last year's ALBA deal.
"It's an attempt to pose a real counterweight to the U.S. role and
agenda in Latin America."

Shifter predicted few other Latin America nations would join ALBA,
instead preferring trade agreements with the United States.

But he said Chavez is likely eyeing Peru as a potential ALBA member if
nationalist Ollanta Humala prevails in a presidential runoff expected
for May 28 or June 4. Humala was the front-runner in the April
election.

Their leaders' embrace of the socialist-tinged ALBA has rattled
Bolivian and Venezuelan business leaders.

"The government should reach out more to the business sector and create
a common agenda, figure out what markets interest us, where there are
possibilities and separate the ideological and political from trade and
economy," said Gary Rodriguez, general manager of the Bolivian Foreign
Trade Institute.

Cuba ranks 88 among countries that Bolivia exports to, shipping just
$5,291 (�4,220) in goods to the Caribbean nation last year, according
to the institute. Venezuela is Bolivia's fifth most important export
market, accounting for $167 million (�133.2 million) of its $2.7
billion (�2.15 billion) in exports.

Administration�s Nuclear Saber Rattling on
Iran Threatens Global Security
Statement by Dr. Kurt Gottfried, Chairman,
Union of Concerned Scientists

April 30, 2006

ucsusa.org

Statement by Dr. Kurt Gottfried, Chairman, Union of Concerned
Scientists, and Emeritus Professor of Physics, Cornell University�

"Recent reports suggest that the Bush administration is considering
using nuclear weapons against Iran. The very fact that nuclear weapon
use is being discussed as an option�against a state that does not have
nuclear weapons and does not represent a direct or imminent threat to
the United States�illustrates the extent to which the Bush
administration has changed U.S. nuclear weapons policy.

"The Bush administration has explicitly rejected the basic precept that
the sole purpose of U.S. nuclear weapons should be to deter the use of
nuclear weapons. It has assigned a new, and provocative, mission to
U.S. nuclear weapons: to dissuade or prevent other countries from
undertaking military programs that could threaten U.S. interests in the
future. A 'preventive' nuclear attack on Iran would fall into this
category. It has also blurred the line between nuclear and conventional
weapons by declaring that nuclear weapons can be used as part of
military operations.

"This nuclear policy increases the likelihood that nuclear weapons will
be used, and ultimately decreases U.S. as well as international
security. Instead, the United States should commit itself to strengthen
the taboo against the use of nuclear weapons that has developed over
the past 60 years.

"Plans to use nuclear weapons against Iran also fail to recognize the
immediate dangers inherent in the use of nuclear weapons. The
administration is reportedly considering using the B61-11 nuclear
'bunker buster' against an underground facility near Natanz, Iran. The
use of such a weapon would create massive clouds of radioactive fallout
that could spread far from the site of the attack, including to other
nations. Even if used in remote, lightly populated areas, the number of
casualties could range up to more than a hundred thousand, depending on
the weapon yield and weather conditions.

"Threatening to use nuclear weapons against Iran provides the strongest
of incentives for nuclear proliferation, since it would send the
message that the only way for a country to deter nuclear attack is to
acquire its own nuclear arsenal. The administration cannot have its
cake and eat it, too�it cannot have a viable nuclear non-proliferation
policy while continually expanding the roles for its own nuclear
weapons."

IAEA
Finds No Proof of Iranian Nuclear Weapons Program

By Juan Cole
April 30, 2006
Information Clearing House

In its April 28 report, the International Atomic Energy Agency
mentioned the UNSC mandate to Iran of last February:

� re-establish full and sustained suspension of all enrichment related
and reprocessing activities,
including research and development, to be verified by the Agency;

� reconsider the construction of a research reactor moderated by heavy
water;

� ratify promptly and implement in full the Additional Protocol;

� pending ratification, continue to act in accordance with the
provisions of the Additional
Protocol which Iran signed on 18 December 2003;

� implement transparency measures, as requested by the Director
General, including in GOV/2005/67, which extend beyond the formal
requirements of the Safeguards Agreement and Additional Protocol, and
include such access to individuals, documentation relating to
procurement, dual use equipment, certain military-owned workshops and
research and development as the Agency may request in support of its
ongoing investigations.

Despite not being fully in compliance with these demands, Iran
maintains that it is in fact fulfilling its obligations under the
Nuclear non-Proliferation Treaty.

The IAEA found no smoking gun.

Here is its conclusion, which others will not quote for you at such
length:

' 33. All the nuclear material declared by Iran to the Agency is
accounted for. Apart from the small quantities previously reported to
the Board, the Agency has found no other undeclared nuclear material in
Iran. However, gaps remain in the Agency�s knowledge with respect to
the scope and content of Iran�s centrifuge programme. Because of this,
and other gaps in the Agency�s knowledge, including the role of the
military in Iran�s nuclear programme, the Agency is unable to make
progress in its efforts to provide assurance about the absence of
undeclared nuclear material and activities in Iran.

34. After more than three years of Agency efforts to seek clarity about
all aspects of Iran�s nuclear programme, the existing gaps in knowledge
continue to be a matter of concern. '

This ambiguity is being twisted by the Bush administration to make it
seem as though Iran has done something illegal. The report can be read
to say that there is no evidence that Iran is doing anything illegal.

In fact, under the NPT, countries do have the right to do the sort of
experiments Iran is doing. Most of the complaints are not about
substance but about something else.

Iran's president pledged to continue to cooperate with UN isnspectors.

More about Iran later. For now see the next item, where an Iraqi VP
says all hell would break loose in Iraq if the US attacked Iran.

Susan Lindauer -- Held Political Prisoner
to Cover Up U.S. Genocide in Iraq

In March 2001 Susan Lindauer carried a message from the Iraqi
government to her cousin, the White House Chief of Staff, requesting the
return of weapons inspectors. This strongly indicated that Iraq had no
WMD,
so the U.S. government was aware of this at that point in time, if not
before.

But Bush and Cheney nevertheless attacked and invaded Iraq using WMD as
a pretext,
murdered as many as 500,000 people, and spread radioactive poison over
the entire country,
which will murder millions more. Now they are holding Lindauer in
prison on false claims
of insanity, and are about to commit and forcibly drug her,
to prevent her from ever being able to tell her story.

Guernsey Island: Money as a Vehicle of
Exchange... Not Parasitism

Guernsey's monetary experiment�
From: feenyite1@yahoo.com��
by Louis Even

Guernsey is a small island located in the English Channel. An
Anglo-Norman population. This island is located closer to the French
coast than to the English one.
At the close of the Napoleonic wars, the island, like several
countries, was in pitiful condition, both pydically and financially.

No money

Sea walls, roads, markets were needed.There was no manpower shortage.
but there was no money to pay for these works.
The money used by the people on the island was the money from England,
the pound sterling. But, like after any war, the financiers were
calling back the money advanced to finance the slaughter, and the
pounds sterling were very scarce everywhere.
The island had an autonomous government, �the States of Guernsey.� So
it had the rights inherent in all sovereign government, among other
rights, that of regulating the volume of money incirculation in the
country. But, no more ethan any other country, the States of Guernsey
had thought of exercising this sovereign prerogative.

An intelligent governor

The island was especially in need of a new market house, and a
committee was set up to take care of it. The committee went to see the
governor to explain the situation to him:
�We need a new market, but we have no money to build it.�
�With what material are you going to build a market?� asked the
governor.
�With stone and wood.�
�Do you have it in the island?�
�Certainly, and in plenty.�
�Do you have workers?�
�Yes again. But it is money that is lacking.�
�Could not your parliament issue money?� asked the governor.

A new idea!

This idea had never occurred to the committeemen, who had never
analysed the money question. They knew where to get money when there
was some: but they never wondered where money begins or can begin.
The method of taxing when there was money was quite familiar. But the
method of injecting the money that is lacking, and of taxing only
after, was something new to our administrators.

Issues of national currency

An estimate of the cost was prepared and the States printed the money
required, which was paid to those who either worked on the project or
furnished materials for it. (Notice! The true definition of money is
work...)
As the new currency was paid out into circulation among the people,
exchanges were being expedited. The wage-earners went to the
shopkeepers, the shopkeepers went to the producers, the producers
bought enough to increase their production.
The currency was accepted everywhere. The government took measures
against inflation by decreeing that money would be withdrawn by taxes,
so it does not accumulate. And, in fact, the money was retired on
schedule by taxes. But, as the increasing activity required a
corresponding volume of money, other issues were brought out by the
government for other works.
On October 12, 1822, the new Market house was completed and opened. Not
a penny of public debt on this public enterprise.

The bankers intervene

At the time of the original issue, there was no bank upon the island.
This explain, without doubt, why there was no opposition to the issue
of State money.
But ten years after the first issue, the island had become so
prosperous, thanks to the activity allowed by a sufficient volume of
money, that the banks of England had an eye on this island.
English bankers set up branches in the island and brought the
population around to orthodox rules. �It was unsound,� they said, �to
let the government finance its enterprises without getting into debt.�
(!!!!!)
The bankers did everything to stop further issues to introduce the
system of interest-bearing loans to the government and to withdraw from
the island the State money that had been paid out into circulation.
There was some resistance, but the bankers won their point, with their
usual methods, and on October 9, 1836, the States of Guernsey had
abdicated their sovereign prerogative over the control of the volume of
money. From then on, the amount of the national currency decreased
gradually, and was replaced by money issued by private bankers in the
form of loans getting the island into debt.
Nevertheless, there is still about 40,000 pounds sterling ($200,000) of
national currency outstanding at this date in the island. (According to
Gertrude M. Coogan in Money Creators, published in 1935.)

Why a financial problem?

As we can see, with natural resources, workers, and a bit of common
sense, there is no financial problem.
But when shrewd exploiters want to regulate economic activities
according to their power and their profit, there there financial
problem arises.
Of course, minds in search of arguments to justify the present regime
will say that Guernsey was only an insignificant small island; that the
control of the volume of money by the representatives of the people is
good for a small country, but not for a big country.
All right. Take note of what these gentlemen object to you today. Next
week, these same gentlemen will tell you that the mone problem cannot
be solved properly in a small territory or a province, but must be
brought to a federal or even an international level!
It was not Social Credit yet in Guernsey from 1820 to 1836. No doubt
that the development of that time and that place would not have allowed
to go as far as to give a dividend to consumers. But it was already a
non-debt-bearing national currency, issued in accordance with the
possibilities in front of the needs.
The issues of national currency by the States of Guernsey caused
neither inflation nor idleness. They created activity and prosperity.
But these issues did not make any slaves, and that is why the bankers
intervened.

Autopsy: No Arabs on Flight 77

By Dr. Thomas R. Olmsted
April 30, 2006

Scholars for 9/11 Truth website

I am an ex Naval line officer and a psychiatrist in private practice in
New Orleans, a Christian and homeschool dad. It troubled me a great
deal that we rushed off to war on the flimsiest of evidence. I
considered various ways to provide a smoking gun of who and why Sept
11th happened. Astute observers noticed right away that there were no
Arabic sounding names on any of the flight manifests of the planes that
�crashed� on that day.

A list of names on a piece of paper is not evidence, but an autopsy by
a pathologist, is. I undertook by FOIA request, to obtain that autopsy
list and you are invited to view it below. Guess what? Still no Arabs
on the list. It is my opinion that the monsters who planned this crime
made a mistake by not including Arabic names on the original list to
make the ruse seem more believable.

When airline disasters occur, airlines will routinely provide a
manifest list for anxious families. You may have noticed that even
before Sep 11th, that airlines are pretty meticulous about getting an
accurate headcount before takeoff. It seems very unlikely to me that
five Arabs sneaked onto a flight with weapons.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology
(AFIP), does a miraculous job and identified nearly all the bodies on
November 16th 2001.

The AFIP suggest these numbers; 189 killed, 125 worked at the Pentagon
and 64 were �passengers� on the plane. The AA list only had 56 and the
list just obtained has 58. They did not explain how they were able to
tell �victims� bodies from �hijacker� bodies. In fact, from the
beginning NO explanation has been given for the extra five suggested in
news reports except that the FBI showed us the pictures to make up the
difference, and that makes it so.

Now, being the trusting sort, I figured that the government would want
to quickly dispel any rumors so we could get on with the chore of
kicking Osama/Saddam�s butt (weren�t these originally two different
people?). It seemed simple to me... produce the names of all the bodies
identified by the AFIP and compare it with the publicized list of
passengers. So, I sent a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to
the AFIP and asked for an expedited response, because we were getting
ready to send our boys to war on the pretext that Osama/Sadaam had done
the deed. Fourteen months later, a few US soldiers dead, many Iraqi
civilians pushing up daisies, and I finally get the list. Believe me
that they weren�t a bit happy to give it up, and I really have no idea
why they choose now to release it.

No Arabs wound up on the morgue slab; however, three ADDITIONAL people
not listed by American Airline sneaked in. I have seen no explanation
for these extras. I did give American the opportunity to �revise� their
original list, but they have not responded. The new names are: Robert
Ploger, Zandra Ploger, and Sandra Teague. The AFIP claims that the only
�passenger� body that they were not able to identify is the toddler,
Dana Falkenberg, whose parents and young sister are on the list of
those identified.

The satanic masterminds behind this caper may be feeling pretty smug
about the perfect crime, but they have left a raft of clues tying these
unfortunates together. Stay tuned for part two to take a much closer
look of the cast of characters on this ill-fated flight.

Turkish Armed Forces Strike PKK Camps in N. Iraq

By National News Desk, Istanbul
Published: Saturday, April 29, 2006

zaman.com

The Turkish armed forces have launched their first military operation
along the Iraqi border where Turkish troops have concentrated for days.

The Northern Iraqi cities of Amedi and Zaho, sheltering Kurdish
Workers' Party (PKK) militants, were hit with mortar attacks in
�Operation Crescent.�

First reports say that locations where militants were lodged in the
regions of Geliye, Pisaxa, Pirbela, Sheshdara, Sheranish and Elanish
were demolished.

The "Burgundy Beret" units performed a recognizance mission in the
area a while ago as part of the Special Forces Command.

Troop deployment to the region from different parts of the country
continues.

Along with the transfer of commandos, heavy construction equipment is
also being brought to the border for use during a possible cross-border
operation.

The Iranian military extended their operation 10 kilometers to
maintain security along the border.

A security cordon has been established to ensure the safety of troops
that check not only Mt. Cudi, but other passages and routes for safety.

There is also top-level security present en route to the Border Gate
Habur-2.

In another development, Kurdish militias (Peshmergas) under the
leadership of Massoud Barzani tightened security measures along the
Northern Iraqi border.

On Thursday, a statement from Barzani called attention to a plea for
cessation of external intervention in Iraq's domestic affairs. The need
for agreement between officials from both Turkey and North Iraq was
stressed.

Mehmet Gunes, a truck driver, said something interesting while on
routine transit through the Border Gate Habur. "We are well accustomed
to seeing such things. It�s the media that magnifies what we consider
normal, I think." Gunes also said that the truck drivers are not having
any problem transiting border gates for the moment.

There is not any unusual military activity going on here against North
Iraq, said Gunes, and some residents here are still unaware of the
recent developments.

The Operation Crescent, a cross-border operation, is remarkable for
one other thing: the exclusion of village guards from the operation.

Should Israel Live with the Iranian Bomb? By Edward Bernard Glick Thomas
Friedman of the New York Times has written that "I'd rather live with a
nuclear Iran" because it is "the wisest thing under the circumstances."
Friedman may feel this way and the United States may feel this way, as
well. But is it wise for Israel to feel this way, to avert its eyes from
a nuclear Iran and to close its ears to
Iran's calls for its destruction? In October 2005 the Iranian president,
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, said that the "Zionist regime" must "be wiped off
the face of the Earth." In April 2006 he called Israel a "fake regime"
that "cannot logically continue to live." Since he apparently favors a
second Holocaust, even as he denies that the first one occurred, Iran's
development and deployment of nuclear weapons would jeopardize the very
existence of Israel. Thanks to David Ben Gurion, Israel's founding prime
minister and first minister of defense, and Shimon Peres, the last
surviving member of the Israeli Old Guard, the Jewish state has
possessed a nuclear arsenal for 40 years. In a 1999 paper prepared for
the Air War College, U. S. Army Lieutenant Colonel Warner D. Farr labels
it the "Third Temple's Holy of Holies" and he argued that with it Israel
has been able to deter its
enemies. And Michael Karpin, the author of the 2006 book "The Bomb in
the Basement," calls Israel's nuclear arsenal the "absolute deterrent."
But the truth is that Israel can only deter Iran if Iran has the wisdom
and the sanity to be deterred. Another argument one hears is that if
Iran can live with an Israeli nuclear bomb, why can't Israel live with
an Iranian one? The answer is that no Israeli leader threatens to
eradicate Iran. Geography is the greatest reason for Israel's not living
with an Iranian bomb. Israel is so tiny ? smaller than New Jersey ? that
any nuclear exchange between the two countries may well extinguish the
Jewish state. Since world public opinion will blame the Israelis for
whatever they do preemptively to save themselves, they might as well do
what's needed and what works. As soon as it is clear that further
nonmilitary pressures upon Iran
are useless. Israel must, with or without American help, strike first
and strike successfully. It must take out not only Iran's nuclear
weaponry, but its delivery systems and command and control centers as
well, because it is always better for Jews to be alive and condemned,
than dead and eulogized. An Israeli attack upon Iran will be condemned
by the Arabs, the Muslims, the anti-Semites, the anti-Zionists, the
anti-Americans, the appeasers. the United States, the European Union,
the United Nations, the Pope, the Quakers, and the
"war-can-never-be-an-option-in-the-twenty-first-century" postmodernists
in academia and elsewhere. Much of the criticism will be phony, however.
In 1981, when Israel destroyed Saddam Hussein's French-built Osirak
reactor, located 18 miles south of Baghdad, the Saudi students in my
Middle East politics class at Temple University condemned Israel
roundly. But the next day, they all came to my office and asked me to
tell my secretary to leave. They then insisted that I close the door.
Only when he was assured of complete privacy, did the leader of the
group, whose English was impeccable, say to me: "Thank God that the
Israelis bombed Iraq yesterday. For only God knows when that crazy Iraqi
would have used a nuclear bomb against Saudi Arabia, with which he
contests the leadership of the Arab world?" When I asked him why he and
his compatriots didn't say so in class, he answered: "We were afraid to.
At the least, our fellowships from ARAMCO (the Arab-American Oil
Company) would have been revoked. And at the most, we would have been
ordered home to be imprisoned or killed." At the news conference at
which he announced Israel's destruction of the Iraqi reactor, Prime
Minister Menachem Begin said that ''despite all the
condemnations which were heaped on Israel for the last 24 hours, Israel
has nothing to apologize for. In simple logic, we decided to act now,
before it is too late. We shall defend our people with all the means at
our disposal." He added that "Israel will not tolerate any nuclear
weapons in the region." Does Israel's present prime minister, Ehud
Olmert, have the courage to emulate his predecessor? Do the Israel
Defense Forces have the pluck to do to Iran today what they did to Iraq
a quarter of a century ago? And are the Israeli political and military
establishments willing to use tactical nuclear weapons if they conclude
that conventional weapons won't do the job? If Olmert gives the order,
and the IDF pulls it off, the mad mullahs of Persia will be gone and the
Middle East will be a much less dangerous place. But let no one think
that my Saudi students or Israel's other
foes will publicly thank the "Zionist regime" for this.

Subject: Justice Served?

The Civil Harassment Restraining Orders against Tim White and against Attorney J. David Horspool come to hearing on May 2. The Denver Sheriffs were unable to serve White with the papers, so the TRO is not in effect, even though it was issued by Judge Tillman.

I now have Horspool stone cold on perjury.

The perjured item deals with his declaration in court against me in June of 2002. Among other perjured statements, he declared under penalty of perjury that I had made a report to the Osteopathic Board concerning a Dr. David Mitzner.

I thought that was probably a good idea, and filed the report SIX MONTHS LATER. The certified letter from the State Osteopathic Board is now filed with Santa Monica Court. This and other perjured declarations made by Horspool are being addressed in a complaint to the State Bar. The sum effect of his perjuries are deadly serious; because of his declarations, I was effectively restrained from saving the life of someone who almost died "on his watch."

Horspool stated in his letter to Joe Ludi, which Tim White posted on the yahoo groups, that I had made death threats to him (Horspool). In his response to my filing for a RO against him, Horspool included emails from me, presumably as evidence. The emails are sometimes informative ("I will be interviewed on the radio tonite," etc.) and sometimes beseeching him to obey the December 18, 2001 court order to distribute funds from my inheritance to me.

But not one single threat.

Incidentally, Horspool has requested of the Court to make me pay his court costs in this matter, thus further attempting to damage my already challenged economic base.

This is an extremely serious matter. Because of what happened in this "civil" court case, a wonderful, bright and vulnerable woman ended up dead. Horspool did the "legal" work.

Subject: Bush has quietly claimed the authority to disobey more than 750 laws

Bush challenges hundreds of laws
President cites powers of his office
By Charlie Savage, Globe Staff | April 30, 2006

WASHINGTON -- President Bush has quietly claimed the authority to disobey
more than 750 laws enacted since he took office, asserting that he has the power
to set aside any statute passed by Congress when it conflicts with his
interpretation of the Constitution.

Among the laws Bush said he can ignore are military rules and regulations,
affirmative-action provisions, requirements that Congress be told about
immigration services problems, ''whistle-blower" protections for nuclear regulatory
officials, and safeguards against political interference in federally funded
research.

Legal scholars say the scope and aggression of Bush's assertions that he can
bypass laws represent a concerted effort to expand his power at the expense
of Congress, upsetting the balance between the branches of government. The
Constitution is clear in assigning to Congress the power to write the laws and
to the president a duty ''to take care that the laws be faithfully executed."
Bush, however, has repeatedly declared that he does not need to ''execute" a
law he believes is unconstitutional.

Former administration officials contend that just because Bush reserves the
right to disobey a law does not mean he is not enforcing it: In many cases, he
is simply asserting his belief that a certain requirement encroaches on
presidential power.

But with the disclosure of Bush's domestic spying program, in which he
ignored a law requiring warrants to tap the phones of Americans, many legal
specialists say Bush is hardly reluctant to bypass laws he believes he has the
constitutional authority to override.

Far more than any predecessor, Bush has been aggressive about declaring his
right to ignore vast swaths of laws -- many of which he says infringe on power
he believes the Constitution assigns to him alone as the head of the
executive branch or the commander in chief of the military.

Many legal scholars say they believe that Bush's theory about his own powers
goes too far and that he is seizing for himself some of the law-making role
of Congress and the Constitution-interpreting role of the courts.

Phillip Cooper, a Portland State University law professor who has studied
the executive power claims Bush made during his first term, said Bush and his
legal team have spent the past five years quietly working to concentrate ever
more governmental power into the White House.

''There is no question that this administration has been involved in a very
carefully thought-out, systematic process of expanding presidential power at
the expense of the other branches of government," Cooper said. ''This is
really big, very expansive, and very significant."

For the first five years of Bush's presidency, his legal claims attracted
little attention in Congress or the media. Then, twice in recent months, Bush
drew scrutiny after challenging new laws: a torture ban and a requirement that
he give detailed reports to Congress about how he is using the Patriot Act.

Bush administration spokesmen declined to make White House or Justice
Department attorneys available to discuss any of Bush's challenges to the laws he
has signed.

Instead, they referred a Globe reporter to their response to questions about
Bush's position that he could ignore provisions of the Patriot Act. They
said at the time that Bush was following a practice that has ''been used for
several administrations" and that ''the president will faithfully execute the
law in a manner that is consistent with the Constitution."

But the words ''in a manner that is consistent with the Constitution" are
the catch, legal scholars say, because Bush is according himself the ultimate
interpretation of the Constitution. And he is quietly exercising that authority
to a degree that is unprecedented in US history.

Bush is the first president in modern history who has never vetoed a bill,
giving Congress no chance to override his judgments. Instead, he has signed
every bill that reached his desk, often inviting the legislation's sponsors to
signing ceremonies at which he lavishes praise upon their work.

Then, after the media and the lawmakers have left the White House, Bush
quietly files ''signing statements" -- official documents in which a president
lays out his legal interpretation of a bill for the federal bureaucracy to
follow when implementing the new law. The statements are recorded in the federal
register.

In his signing statements, Bush has repeatedly asserted that the
Constitution gives him the right to ignore numerous sections of the bills -- sometimes
including provisions that were the subject of negotiations with Congress in
order to get lawmakers to pass the bill. He has appended such statements to
more than one of every 10 bills he has signed.

''He agrees to a compromise with members of Congress, and all of them are
there for a public bill-signing ceremony, but then he takes back those
compromises -- and more often than not, without the Congress or the press or the
public knowing what has happened," said Christopher Kelley, a Miami University of
Ohio political science professor who studies executive power.

Military link
Many of the laws Bush said he can bypass -- including the torture ban --
involve the military.

The Constitution grants Congress the power to create armies, to declare war,
to make rules for captured enemies, and ''to make rules for the government
and regulation of the land and naval forces." But, citing his role as commander
in chief, Bush says he can ignore any act of Congress that seeks to regulate
the military.

On at least four occasions while Bush has been president, Congress has
passed laws forbidding US troops from engaging in combat in Colombia, where the US
military is advising the government in its struggle against narcotics-funded
Marxist rebels.

After signing each bill, Bush declared in his signing statement that he did
not have to obey any of the Colombia restrictions because he is commander in
chief.

Bush has also said he can bypass laws requiring him to tell Congress before
diverting money from an authorized program in order to start a secret
operation, such as the ''black sites" where suspected terrorists are secretly
imprisoned.

Congress has also twice passed laws forbidding the military from using
intelligence that was not ''lawfully collected," including any information on
Americans that was gathered in violation of the Fourth Amendment's protections
against unreasonable searches.

Congress first passed this provision in August 2004, when Bush's warrantless
domestic spying program was still a secret, and passed it again after the
program's existence was disclosed in December 2005.

On both occasions, Bush declared in signing statements that only he, as
commander in chief, could decide whether such intelligence can be used by the
military.

In October 2004, five months after the Abu Ghraib torture scandal in Iraq
came to light, Congress passed a series of new rules and regulations for
military prisons. Bush signed the provisions into law, then said he could ignore
them all. One provision made clear that military lawyers can give their
commanders independent advice on such issues as what would constitute torture. But
Bush declared that military lawyers could not contradict his administration's
lawyers.

Other provisions required the Pentagon to retrain military prison guards on
the requirements for humane treatment of detainees under the Geneva
Conventions, to perform background checks on civilian contractors in Iraq, and to ban
such contractors from performing ''security, intelligence, law enforcement,
and criminal justice functions." Bush reserved the right to ignore any of the
requirements.

The new law also created the position of inspector general for Iraq. But
Bush wrote in his signing statement that the inspector ''shall refrain" from
investigating any intelligence or national security matter, or any crime the
Pentagon says it prefers to investigate for itself.

Bush had placed similar limits on an inspector general position created by
Congress in November 2003 for the initial stage of the US occupation of Iraq.
The earlier law also empowered the inspector to notify Congress if a US
official refused to cooperate. Bush said the inspector could not give any
information to Congress without permission from the administration.

Oversight questioned
Many laws Bush has asserted he can bypass involve requirements to give
information about government activity to congressional oversight committees.

In December 2004, Congress passed an intelligence bill requiring the Justice
Department to tell them how often, and in what situations, the FBI was using
special national security wiretaps on US soil. The law also required the
Justice Department to give oversight committees copies of administration memos
outlining any new interpretations of domestic-spying laws. And it contained 11
other requirements for reports about such issues as civil liberties, security
clearances, border security, and counternarcotics efforts.

After signing the bill, Bush issued a signing statement saying he could
withhold all the information sought by Congress.

Likewise, when Congress passed the law creating the Department of Homeland
Security in 2002, it said oversight committees must be given information about
vulnerabilities at chemical plants and the screening of checked bags at
airports.

It also said Congress must be shown unaltered reports about problems with
visa services prepared by a new immigration ombudsman. Bush asserted the right
to withhold the information and alter the reports.

On several other occasions, Bush contended he could nullify laws creating
''whistle-blower" job protections for federal employees that would stop any
attempt to fire them as punishment for telling a member of Congress about
possible government wrongdoing.

When Congress passed a massive energy package in August, for example, it
strengthened whistle-blower protections for employees at the Department of
Energy and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

The provision was included because lawmakers feared that Bush appointees
were intimidating nuclear specialists so they would not testify about safety
issues related to a planned nuclear-waste repository at Yucca Mountain in Nevada
-- a facility the administration supported, but both Republicans and
Democrats from Nevada opposed.

When Bush signed the energy bill, he issued a signing statement declaring
that the executive branch could ignore the whistle-blower protections.

Bush's statement did more than send a threatening message to federal energy
specialists inclined to raise concerns with Congress; it also raised the
possibility that Bush would not feel bound to obey similar whistle-blower laws
that were on the books before he became president. His domestic spying program,
for example, violated a surveillance law enacted 23 years before he took
office.

David Golove, a New York University law professor who specializes in
executive-power issues, said Bush has cast a cloud over ''the whole idea that there
is a rule of law," because no one can be certain of which laws Bush thinks
are valid and which he thinks he can ignore.

''Where you have a president who is willing to declare vast quantities of
the legislation that is passed during his term unconstitutional, it implies that
he also thinks a very significant amount of the other laws that were already
on the books before he became president are also unconstitutional," Golove
said.

Defying Supreme Court
Bush has also challenged statutes in which Congress gave certain executive
branch officials the power to act independently of the president. The Supreme
Court has repeatedly endorsed the power of Congress to make such
arrangements. For example, the court has upheld laws creating special prosecutors free of
Justice Department oversight and insulating the board of the Federal Trade
Commission from political interference.

Nonetheless, Bush has said in his signing statements that the Constitution
lets him control any executive official, no matter what a statute passed by
Congress might say.

In November 2002, for example, Congress, seeking to generate independent
statistics about student performance, passed a law setting up an educational
research institute to conduct studies and publish reports ''without the
approval" of the Secretary of Education. Bush, however, decreed that the institute's
director would be ''subject to the supervision and direction of the secretary
of education."

Similarly, the Supreme Court has repeatedly upheld affirmative-action
programs, as long as they do not include quotas. Most recently, in 2003, the court
upheld a race-conscious university admissions program over the strong
objections of Bush, who argued that such programs should be struck down as
unconstitutional.

Yet despite the court's rulings, Bush has taken exception at least nine
times to provisions that seek to ensure that minorities are represented among
recipients of government jobs, contracts, and grants. Each time, he singled out
the provisions, declaring that he would construe them ''in a manner consistent
with" the Constitution's guarantee of ''equal protection" to all -- which
some legal scholars say amounts to an argument that the affirmative-action
provisions represent reverse discrimination against whites.

Golove said that to the extent Bush is interpreting the Constitution in
defiance of the Supreme Court's precedents, he threatens to ''overturn the
existing structures of constitutional law."

A president who ignores the court, backed by a Congress that is unwilling to
challenge him, Golove said, can make the Constitution simply ''disappear."

Common practice in '80s
Though Bush has gone further than any previous president, his actions are
not unprecedented.

Since the early 19th century, American presidents have occasionally signed a
large bill while declaring that they would not enforce a specific provision
they believed was unconstitutional. On rare occasions, historians say,
presidents also issued signing statements interpreting a law and explaining any
concerns about it.

But it was not until the mid-1980s, midway through the tenure of President
Reagan, that it became common for the president to issue signing statements.
The change came about after then-Attorney General Edwin Meese decided that
signing statements could be used to increase the power of the president.

When interpreting an ambiguous law, courts often look at the statute's
legislative history, debate and testimony, to see what Congress intended it to
mean. Meese realized that recording what the president thought the law meant in
a signing statement might increase a president's influence over future court
rulings.

Under Meese's direction in 1986, a young Justice Department lawyer named
Samuel A. Alito Jr. wrote a strategy memo about signing statements. It came to
light in late 2005, after Bush named Alito to the Supreme Court.

In the memo, Alito predicted that Congress would resent the president's
attempt to grab some of its power by seizing ''the last word on questions of
interpretation." He suggested that Reagan's legal team should ''concentrate on
points of true ambiguity, rather than issuing interpretations that may seem to
conflict with those of Congress."

Reagan's successors continued this practice. George H.W. Bush challenged 232
statutes over four years in office, and Bill Clinton objected to 140 laws
over his eight years, according to Kelley, the Miami University of Ohio
professor.

Many of the challenges involved longstanding legal ambiguities and points of
conflict between the president and Congress.

Throughout the past two decades, for example, each president -- including
the current one -- has objected to provisions requiring him to get permission
from a congressional committee before taking action. The Supreme Court made
clear in 1983 that only the full Congress can direct the executive branch to do
things, but lawmakers have continued writing laws giving congressional
committees such a role.

Still, Reagan, George H.W. Bush, and Clinton used the presidential veto
instead of the signing statement if they had a serious problem with a bill,
giving Congress a chance to override their decisions.

But the current President Bush has abandoned the veto entirely, as well as
any semblance of the political caution that Alito counseled back in 1986. In
just five years, Bush has challenged more than 750 new laws, by far a record
for any president, while becoming the first president since Thomas Jefferson to
stay so long in office without issuing a veto.

''What we haven't seen until this administration is the sheer number of
objections that are being raised on every bill passed through the White House,"
said Kelley, who has studied presidential signing statements through history.
''That is what is staggering. The numbers are well out of the norm from any
previous administration."

Exaggerated fears?
Some administration defenders say that concerns about Bush's signing
statements are overblown. Bush's signing statements, they say, should be seen as
little more than political chest-thumping by administration lawyers who are
dedicated to protecting presidential prerogatives.

Defenders say the fact that Bush is reserving the right to disobey the laws
does not necessarily mean he has gone on to disobey them.

Indeed, in some cases, the administration has ended up following laws that
Bush said he could bypass. For example, citing his power to ''withhold
information" in September 2002, Bush declared that he could ignore a law requiring
the State Department to list the number of overseas deaths of US citizens in
foreign countries. Nevertheless, the department has still put the list on its
website.

Jack Goldsmith, a Harvard Law School professor who until last year oversaw
the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel for the administration, said
the statements do not change the law; they just let people know how the
president is interpreting it.

''Nobody reads them," said Goldsmith. ''They have no significance. Nothing
in the world changes by the publication of a signing statement. The statements
merely serve as public notice about how the administration is interpreting
the law. Criticism of this practice is surprising, since the usual complaint is
that the administration is too secretive in its legal interpretations."

But Cooper, the Portland State University professor who has studied Bush's
first-term signing statements, said the documents are being read closely by one
key group of people: the bureaucrats who are charged with implementing new
laws.

Lower-level officials will follow the president's instructions even when his
understanding of a law conflicts with the clear intent of Congress, crafting
policies that may endure long after Bush leaves office, Cooper said.

''Years down the road, people will not understand why the policy doesn't
look like the legislation," he said.

And in many cases, critics contend, there is no way to know whether the
administration is violating laws -- or merely preserving the right to do so.

Many of the laws Bush has challenged involve national security, where it is
almost impossible to verify what the government is doing. And since the
disclosure of Bush's domestic spying program, many people have expressed alarm
about his sweeping claims of the authority to violate laws.

In January, after the Globe first wrote about Bush's contention that he
could disobey the torture ban, three Republicans who were the bill's principal
sponsors in the Senate -- John McCain of Arizona, John W. Warner of Virginia,
and Lindsey O. Graham of South Carolina -- all publicly rebuked the president.

''We believe the president understands Congress's intent in passing, by very
large majorities, legislation governing the treatment of detainees," McCain
and Warner said in a joint statement. ''The Congress declined when asked by
administration officials to include a presidential waiver of the restrictions
included in our legislation."

Added Graham: ''I do not believe that any political figure in the country
has the ability to set aside any . . . law of armed conflict that we have
adopted or treaties that we have ratified."

And in March, when the Globe first wrote about Bush's contention that he
could ignore the oversight provisions of the Patriot Act, several Democrats
lodged complaints.

Senator Patrick J. Leahy of Vermont, the ranking Democrat on the Senate
Judiciary Committee, accused Bush of trying to ''cherry-pick the laws he decides
he wants to follow."

And Representatives Jane Harman of California and John Conyers Jr. of
Michigan -- the ranking Democrats on the House Intelligence and Judiciary
committees, respectively -- sent a letter to Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales
demanding that Bush rescind his claim and abide by the law.

''Many members who supported the final law did so based upon the guarantee
of additional reporting and oversight," they wrote. ''The administration
cannot, after the fact, unilaterally repeal provisions of the law implementing such
oversight. . . . Once the president signs a bill, he and all of us are bound
by it."

Lack of court review
Such political fallout from Congress is likely to be the only check on
Bush's claims, legal specialists said.

The courts have little chance of reviewing Bush's assertions, especially in
the secret realm of national security matters.

''There can't be judicial review if nobody knows about it," said Neil
Kinkopf, a Georgia State law professor who was a Justice Department official in the
Clinton administration. ''And if they avoid judicial review, they avoid
having their constitutional theories rebuked."

Without court involvement, only Congress can check a president who goes too
far. But Bush's fellow Republicans control both chambers, and they have shown
limited interest in launching the kind of oversight that could damage their
party.

''The president is daring Congress to act against his positions, and they're
not taking action because they don't want to appear to be too critical of
the president, given that their own fortunes are tied to his because they are
all Republicans," said Jack Beermann, a Boston University law professor.
''Oversight gets much reduced in a situation where the president and Congress are
controlled by the same party."

Said Golove, the New York University law professor: ''Bush has essentially
said that 'We're the executive branch and we're going to carry this law out as
we please, and if Congress wants to impeach us, go ahead and try it.' "

Bruce Fein, a deputy attorney general in the Reagan administration, said the
American system of government relies upon the leaders of each branch ''to
exercise some self-restraint." But Bush has declared himself the sole judge of
his own powers, he said, and then ruled for himself every time.

''This is an attempt by the president to have the final word on his own
constitutional powers, which eliminates the checks and balances that keep the
country a democracy," Fein said. ''There is no way for an independent judiciary
to check his assertions of power, and Congress isn't doing it, either. So this
is moving us toward an unlimited executive power."
