&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt; SEPARATE U.S. TREASURY SOURCES Six months ago, the Federal
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt; Reserve quietly announced that as of March 20, 2006, they would
no
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt; longer publish "M3" Data. The "M3" was the amount of cash the
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt; government printed to put into circulation, propping-up the U.S.
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt; economy.
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt; &~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt;
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt; &~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt; As of eight days ago, M3 data is no longer being reported, so
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt; there is no way for the public, investors or bond holders to know
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt; how much currency exists - and no way to gauge how much

&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt; &~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt;
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt; &~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt; Three separate sources in the U.S. Treasury have told me that
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt; this week, the federal reserve ordered TWO TRILLION dollars to be
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt; printed! The U.S. Treasury is allegedly running printing presses
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt; 24/7 to accommodate that order. Treasury employees were
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt; specifically ORDERED not to talk about this to anyone because it
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt; could cause economic collapse.
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt; &~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt;
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt; &~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt; Even worse, I was also told that the whole Immigration Amnesty
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt; Debate (especially the well-funded well-attended protests) was
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt; deliberately scheduled to take place now, to divert attention
from
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt; this massive printing/devaluation of the U.S. Dollar. The feds
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt; allegedly figured that by the time anyone found out, they could
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt; smooth things over. They figured wrong. Surprise, boys, you've

Dear Friends and Colleagues,
I sent this important piece to my lists soon after it became
available more than two years ago.
I think the piece is important either in the sense that it's
accurate or in the sense that it's important to refute it.
Michael Castle's style and background lead me to have a general
trust of him.
I'm surprised there has been no commentary on some of his
assertions--especially the one describing intentional droughts in the
US midwest recently so banksters could come in behind them and buy land
from bankrupt family farmers for just a few cents on the dollar. Why
has no one come forward during this quite adequate period of
time--either to support or refute this?
So I hope some of you can provide us with commentary in this
cogent matter.
Yours for all species,
Keith Lampe, Ro-Non-So-Te

THE METHODIC DEMISE OF NATURAL EARTH
~An Environmental Impact Overview~
By Dr. R. Michael Castle�� From: Deirdre Fields
Posted: 27 March 2004
In this century, we believe we are witnessing the gradual, purposeful
demise of the Earth's Natural System. There are those who will
debunk/dis-info all that is written regarding the subject of this
paper: ChemTrails. What's this? ChemTrails are only a vague
description, in lay-terms, of a greater theater of toxic materials
being released into the atmosphere/stratosphere, for a myriad of crude
and toxic agendas.
The author, Dr. R. Michael Castle, will attempt to put this Global
debacle into a profile of events. Technical specificity of all the
identified components would require at least a book in length, to
recite them all. A short Bibliography follows, and links to various
pertinent documents of unquestionable validity.
First Rule of Understanding: There are very large, winner-take-all
games orchestrated by the Global Interests of the World. We have
investigated, researched and found substantial evidence of a
multiplicity of Global operations designed to mitigate various and
theoretical Global catastrophes, as defined by a late 1980's and 1990's
International Panel of Conferees. (The value of who are they, what's
the politics smell like and all that is not of the utmost importance in
our attempt, herein, to describe what serious destruction they have
caused and are causing to Humans and our Finite Environment. 1
Many of the operations we have collectively found in our investigations
of this debacle have remained a secret, classified and not for general
populace information or knowledge. You must answer the question, Dear
Reader as to why someone would possibly deploy these Geo-weapons. Just
follow the money trails. We will yield all of our voluminous data,
information and all references we have used in our validation of facts
surrounding this Global atrocity. The recipients of this information
must be interested enough in what we are trying to expose, the
Human-health risks, the Environmental risks and the plain, simple
"wrongness" that prevails. We must determine first if you are provoked
to really care, because the research and development of this
information for a Major Media whistle-blowing expose will require
passion and dedication. Our research work has spanned almost five years
of....watching and discovering, with disgust, the scenarios which
follow.
This is not a small task.....but the Mission is simple. Expose and Stop
the Methodic Demolition of our Natural Earth and its inhabitants.
Executive Summary
Dr. Edward Teller wrote a white paper in the late 1990's describing a
remedial operation, strategy, epic-in-proportion, to change the
predicted course of what was believed by an International group of
Scientists, including Dr. Edward Teller, Livermore National
Laboratories, et al, to be the cataclysmic certainty from the results
of global-warming, crisis level Ultra-Violet/Cosmic radiation, crisis
Ozone-layer depletion and other theoretical doom. 2Demonstrating here,
that the same mind, Dr. Edward Teller, Father H-Bomb, was responsible
for many ill-conceived strategies and not one gave considerations to
the consequences in the Human realm. Safety, toxicity, lethality,
exposure, Environmental Impact, morality, were not words with which Dr.
Teller had a high-degree of familiarity. 3
These Global-Warming Mitigation Strategies, UV Mitigation and the
cessation of the effects of Atmospheric Greenhouse-gases were given a
commonality by Teller, et al, and this was the use of a sub-micron
particulate. Barium, Aluminum, Thorium, Selenium were to be processed
into a sub-micron particle dispensed from high-altitude aircraft,
ionized with a specific electrical charge. 4(Chemtrails and Barium -
absorption & inhalation .. see links below )5We must surmise that
ionization keeps the specific heavy metal particulate aloft for longer
periods of time. This electronically charged particulate matrix might
also be the perfect RF control field. Theoretically, the heavy metals
would block and reflect the sunlight from entering the Earth's
atmosphere and reflect 1-2% back into space. UV radiation levels would
decline. Teller also recommended the use of Commercial Aircraft
as-well-as-Military Aircraft to carry out the enormous and epic task of
coverage to the Earth's Stratosphere. We believe that the weaponization
use of these technologies has been well demonstrated for a US DOD
program entitled "RF Dominance". The US Air Force VTRP and the Navy's
RFMP are other military programs utilizing aerosolized heavy metal
particulates, including aluminized fiberglass or chaffe are
characteristic of current military operations. 6
CIA-led Project Cloverleaf was one of the initial "aerosolized
heavy-metal particulate" operations. Massive spraying of the
upper-atmosphere/Stratosphere commenced. The U.S. DOD operations soon
followed, as the US Air Force became embedded in the overall
operations, strategically. The U.S. Air Force would also play
significantly into the expansion of a significant Global-Warming
Mitigation strategies in the form of Weather Modification and
Geo-Engineering practices. 7, 8
Federally Approved Contractors became involved in this massive, Global
effort to save Earth from certain doom. Federal Approved Contractors,
FAC's, were part of the research, Development and deployment aspects of
these projects, and many of them have visited the premiere website
9(See - Visitors) FAC Academia, multi-National Corporations, U.S.
Military/Industrial Complex/Corporations, became eager partners in this
effort. One in particular, Hughes Aircraft Corporation of California
turned research efforts towards this endeavor.
Thorium and oxides, Aluminum and Silicon carbide have been identified
in a special mixture referred to generally as Welsbach Refractory
Seeding Agents US Patent 5, 003,186 . - March 26, 1991 10 This patent
was assigned and awarded in 1990 to Hughes Aircraft Corporation. The
Welsbach Refractory Seeding under unrestricted deployment operations
began in the early 1990's over a vast area of Stratosphere above the
North American Continent. 11 Expanding over the entire western
hemisphere, many operations were believed to have been enjoined in
Ozone Depletion Mitigation Aerial operations of the US Air Force,
connected to the HAARPs (High Frequency Active Aural Research Project)
for Ionospheric Heating, located in Alaska ) Ozone Remediation was 1 of
3 active mission parameters for HAARPs, as defined by Dr. Bernard
Eastlund, Inventor and Director of HAARPs. The Ionospheric Heating
Research Facility was manned and operated by the US Air Force (Reserve)
and the US Navy. HAARPs had been weaponized; therefore, all operations
were and remain classified. 12, 13
Weather Modification/Climate Change
HAARPs is utilized for many clandestine missions, of which Weather
Modification is a fundamental objective. Microwave, ELF (Extreme Low
Frequency), VLF (Very Low Frequency) and other EMR/EMF-based systems
are transmitted into the atmosphere and reflected by the ionosphere,
back through the Earth's Stratosphere/Atmosphere where various airborne
chemical particulates, polymer filaments and other electromagnetic
frequency absorbers and reflectors are used to push or pull the
prevailing Jet-Streams, changing Weather patterns. ( Note: Vast files
of our research are available on the particulate, polymers, Microwave,
ELF, VLF & EMG, etc ) In many instances, Drought Inducement
Technologies have been found in patented systems. Drought Inducement
occurs, according to reviewed technologies by heating the Stratosphere
with Microwaves, placing airborne chemical particulates in the airspace
and thereby changing the base-line moisture gradients via microwaves
from HAARPs and desiccating chemically with Barium Titanates, Methyl
Aluminum and Potassium mixtures. 13
HAARPs punches massive holes in the open-air column Ozone,
electronically. This is the basis for the Ozone Remediation/Mitigation
Strategies found associated with HAARPs. However, "patching" the holes
in the Ozone layer has become a standard practice for US Air Force and
FAC flight operations. The US Air Force has recently, 2001-2002,
resorted to the utilization of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV's)
technology. High-flying Stratospheric Robotic Platforms negate the
manned operation factors. Robots don't complain and never talk and
remain, forever, non-union. Welsbach Seeding and Ozone Hole Remediation
sciences utilize chemistries that are toxic to Humans and the
Environment.
Welsbach Refractory Agents use Aluminum, Thorium, Zirconium and other
emissitivity-refractive metals and metals oxides. Thorium is
elementally, 98% purity. The remaining 2% are identified radioactive
materials. Ground-fall includes Thorium. Mid and Eastern Canada are
suffering from what has been clinically identified as Thorium
poisoning. There are no other base-line resources for Thorium, all from
residuals of aerosolized heavy metal particulate spraying into the
Stratosphere.
Alaska Flight 261
One other observation has been made regarding Welsbach refractory
agents - the extreme abrasion characteristics of some of the other
patented components, namely, Aluminum Oxide and Silicon Carbide. These
materials are extremely high MOH's Hardness and only second in
abrasativity to Diamond. These 1 micron and sub-micron dusts, upon
falling through the Atmosphere, could conceivably find deposition onto
a somewhat, adhesive surface, inside the working flight components of
all aircraft traveling through the "grit-plume". The greases used on
the Horizontal and Vertical Stabilizers, Ailerons, Flaps and Landing
Gear trucks may be seriously damaged with abrasion of metals on the
aircraft. A horizontal-stabilizer Jack-Screw continuously coated with
these highly abrasive dusts from the Welsbach Refractory materials will
cause a gradual milling of the jack-screw metals and cause complete
failure, jamming the flight controls into an uncontrollable down or up
attitude configuration. We believe that Alaska Airlines Flight 261 was
a victim of this unforeseen circumstance. Alaska Flight 261 made daily
passage through heavy grit plumes from ChemTrails operations associated
with Welsbach Refractory Seeding operations, principally along the West
Coast of the US, down throughout Dallas, Texas.
Other aircraft, Commercial and Military, Civilian have also suffered
these flight-component failures and attributed them to sub-standard
Aviation Machinist's quality. As did the NTSB (National Transportation
Safety Board) in the Alaska Flight 261 aviation fatalities. These
conclusions could not have been farther from the Truth in these
matters. Collateral damage or just another consequence of ChemTrails?
Ozone-Hole Remediation - The composition most notably utilized in
Ozone-hole patching is elemental Selenium and an Aromatic Hydrocarbon
such as Toluene (Benzene component of Gasoline) and mixed isomers of
Xylene. Sprayed from Stratospheric flying Aircraft, films of this toxic
mixture fall into the area just above the Tropopause, the Ozone Layer.
Ozone or triatomic Oxygen forms rapidly upon the irradiation of the
Selenium and the Hydrocarbon with Ultra-Violet/Actinic sunlight. This
is the identical photon/chemical reaction that causes Ozone Alert Days
and is problematic. The solid-state reaction of Selenium and
Ultra-violet radiation is the same as the reaction that occurs during
Xerography. Copy machines generate minute amounts of Ozone when the
Selenium Toners are irradiated with UV light sources.
The US/NASA TOMS (Total Ozone Mapping) Satellites have verified these
Ozone Patching operations that occur principally over the northern
sectors of the North American Continent. We have been studying these
phenomena since the early 2000 time line. 14
Ground-fall Impacts of Selenium/Aromatic Hydrocarbons - The aromatic
Hydrocarbon, when ground fall occurs, (there is substantial evidence
that this has repeatedly occurred in the United States and Canada) is
causative of Benzene over-exposure. Carcinogenicity of Benzene is
known, not suspect. Surface water pollution with Benzene is a
continuous threat.
Selenium poisoning is characteristic of most heavy metals including
Lead (Pb).
Weather Modification - An integral part of the US Department of
Energy's (US DOE) Global-Warming/UV Mitigation/Climate Change,
Strategies. Led by the US Air Force, as a distinct Geo-Weapons method,
Weather Modification is occurring on a Global basis. 15 This Executive
Summary will be confined to ChemTrails deployment in the United States
and Canada due to the expansive nature of a global theatre.
Professional independent investigators have retrieved numerous samples
of soils and waters; these were analyzed and documented. Extensive
testing has demonstrated the highly suspicious toxic levels of Barium
and Methyl Aluminum in many areas of the United States and Canada that
have no extraneous sources of these heavy-metals. The sample retrieval
areas have been documented for extreme ChemTrails observation.
Accompanied by verbal and written complaints to many Public Health Care
Agencies, causes for the elevated levels of Barium and Aluminum found
in the bloodstream were not forthcoming; just another clinical
conundrum. ( See Attachment - Chemtrails Pertinent Links )
Conclusions - Although this summary is only a fraction of the overall
ChemTrails debacle, we encourage impartial investigators and/or
credible news journalists to assess this core information and either
validate or refute our findings, thus far. The entirety of the Human
Health suffering and the Environmental Impacts are staggering and too
voluminous to write at this time. Other aerosol-related programs will
be discussed at a follow-up session. Moreover, biological materials and
genetically mutated fungi used as biocontrols may even be more damaging
and egregious to Humans or the Environment than chemical-based
aerosolized chemical materials sprayed into the atmosphere. 16
All of the chemical spraying operations have been conducted and
deployed without public knowledge and not one Human Health Risk
Assessment nor Environmental Impact Study has been submitted for Public
and Civil scrutiny or for comments. This alone is an egregious
violation of Civil, Environmental and International Laws, with respect
to Treaties.
The Natural Earth's biological systems are slowly beginning to fail.
Rhizobacteria-endomycorrhizae, a critical microbial organism, is slowly
becoming extinct in soils due to Barium and Aluminum heavy-metal
toxicities. This microbe is responsible for the transfer of nutrients
from soils-matrix to the plants/trees feeder-root system. The
Barium/Aluminum heavy-metal salts are alkaline, i.e. Barium Hydroxide,
and are shifting the base-line pH of surface soils and waters to new
highs - elevated enough that certain plant species cannot survive.
According to our experts in this field, without this microbe, natural
plant growth is impossible. The ChemTrails are spoiling our Infinite
Natural Eco-System and no one is watching , albeit the evidence for
microbial extinction events abound.
The events of the 1990's were characterized with phrases such as;
"re-inventing" Commerce, Government, etc., are uniquely defined by the
clandestine operations carried forth by the embedded personnel of US
Agencies, in collaboration with International Alliances with subjects
such as Weather Control, Food and Water Control and expansion of
pharmaceuticals treating new diseases, all having direct linkage to
what we have compressed into something that is called ChemTrails. Does
this story interest you in the least?
We, a group of concerned individuals from around the World, numbering
in the millions, are now extremely convinced that we are witnessing the
methodic demise of the Natural Earth in the name of Commerce and
Control, big Corporate and a hideous form of Socialism via the Military
Industrial Complex. The technologies identified in ChemTrails are
crude, poisonous and lethal. The bankrupt independent Farmer of the
United States and Canada never knew that the Drought that had-no-end
and destroyed their businesses was actually contrived. Seems though,
all their properties were purchased for pennies-on-the-dollar by either
International Farming interests or International Grain-Farming
interests and all that is grown and harvested on these farms are
genetically mutated grains and foodstuff, most likely with a Monsanto
Patented Product. These farms do not take USDA Subsidies either. Well,
that's good for the US Taxpayer, right? This is the emergence of the
Food Weapon .
Our ultimate mission is to develop Legislation for the United States
Congress to pass that will halt, prohibit and forever abate the
practices of deploying, dispensing or otherwise releasing any chemical
into the Atmosphere/Stratosphere of the airspace above the entire North
American Continent. Such a Draft Law has been written by the Author, R.
M. Castle, entitled: The Unified Atmospheric Preservation Act of 2003
(UAPA3) , has been reviewed by other ChemTrails Investigators and seems
to be the only method of intervention to halt these insidious
methodologies. However, the US Congressman we hoped would carry our
cause, tends to back off when it becomes clear that the US Government
is strategically involved in many aspects of the debacle. We are not
asking for this legislation to be considered, we will demand its
passage. Once in force, who will then become bankrupt? We will shut
down the HAARPs Electromagnetic radiation machine with UAPA3. I would
be very honored if anyone would like to receive a copy of the draft
legislation UAPA3, for review and/or endorsement.

Subject: Cheney speech spurs new Cold War
Cheney speech spurs new Cold War; Russian press
May 5, 6:29 AM (ET)
By Oliver Bullough
MOSCOW (Reuters) - A speech by Vice President Dick Cheney strongly
critical of the Kremlin marks the start of a new Cold War that could
drive Moscow away from its new-found Western allies, the Russian press
said on Friday.
In shocked reaction to the harshest U.S. criticism of Moscow for years,
commentators said Washington had created an anti-Russian cordon of
Western-aligned states stretching from the Baltic almost to the Caspian
Sea.
The Kremlin, in a reaction within hours of Cheney's delivery in
Vilnius, said the speech, which was full of accusations that Moscow was
limiting human rights and using its energy riches to blackmail the
world, was "completely incomprehensible."
Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov declined to comment directly on Friday
when asked about Cheney, but said the meeting of former communist
satellites that the vice president had addressed appeared to be "united
against someone."
The Russian press agreed, comparing Cheney's words to a 1946 speech by
British statesman Winston Churchill in Fulton, Missouri, when he said
Europe was divided by an "Iron Curtain."
"Enemy at the Gates. Dick Cheney made a Fulton speech in Vilnius," said
business daily Kommersant's front page headline.
"Vice President Dick Cheney made a keynote speech on relations between
the West and Russia in which he practically established the start of
the second Cold War ... The Cold War has restarted, only now the front
lines have shifted," it said.
Washington and Moscow have largely ignored differences since the
hijacked airliner attacks on U.S. buildings in September 11, 2001 and
concentrated on joint interests in the fight against international
militant groups.
But ties between the former rivals have cooled recently.
Cheney's harsh criticism injected fresh tension that is likely to be
still felt when Russian President Vladimir Putin hosts President Bush
and other world leaders at a summit of the G8 club of rich nations in
St Petersburg in July.
RUSSIAN SELF-CONFIDENCE
Commentators said the speech was an answer to Russia's new
self-confidence, which has stemmed from high oil prices and a shortage
of energy supplies giving it new influence.
Cheney was addressing a group of former communist and ex-Soviet states
including Ukraine, Georgia and Moldova which have infuriated their
former master by turning toward the West.
Komsomolskaya Pravda (KP), Russia's top-selling daily, showed what the
meeting meant to Moscow by coloring in the states that met in Vilnius
to show a purple cordon separating Russia from the rest of Europe.
Reaching for another historical analogy, it compared the meeting to
that between the anti-Nazi allies Churchill, Franklin D. Roosevelt and
Josef Stalin in the Soviet town of Yalta in 1945, at which they divided
up the map of Europe.
"Yesterday in the Lithuanian capital of Vilnius, like in Yalta in 1945,
the map of Europe was redrawn," KP said, raising the specter of Russia
being isolated from the mainstream.
"What can Russia do? It would appear it will have to strengthen ties
with Belarus and Central Asia. And get close to China, to balance this
Western might."
Commentators said Russia was being expected to knuckle under and follow
the U.S. lead.
"At the same time, Moscow's partners are not prepared to sacrifice
anything, keeping their "correct" patriotism and their own policies,"
said official daily Rossiiskaya Gazeta in a lengthy commentary.

Ahmadinejad: Lost in
Translation
From Today's Little Red Email
It was October last year when we came home, flicked on the radio and
listened aghast to the news that the Iranian president denied the
Holocaust had happened and said the state of Israel should be wiped off
the map. �Christ,� we thought, �this nut job�s playing into their hands
with this kind of rhetoric.�
Since then �the Cuban missile crisis in slow motion� as one US academic
has described the Iran/US imbroglio has ratcheted up to high alert with
Seymour Hersch of the New Yorker reporting that the White House is all
prepared for nuclear strikes - Url.:
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~lt;http://www.newyorker.com/fact/content/articles/060417fa_fact&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt; .
It would take just 12 hours to deploy nuclear weapons for a bunker
busting strike that would kill a million Iranians according to
conservative estimates commissioned by the Pentagon. Nuclear armed
planes are now on constant alert and public opinion has been framed
around those mad, mad statements on Israel by Iran�s President Mahmoud
Ahmadinejad.
BUT WHAT IF THE PRONOUNCEMENTS BY AHMADINEJAD THAT CAST HIM AS THIS
SEASON�S BADDIE INCARNATE HAD BEEN
A) MISTRANSLATED AND
B) TAKEN OUT OF CONTEXT?
When properly translated
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~lt;http://www.isna.ir/Main/NewsView.aspx?ID=News-603386&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt; the Iranian
president actually calls for the removal of the regimes that are in
power in Israel and in the USA as a goal for the future. Nowhere does
he demand the elimination or annihilation of Israel. He called for
greater governance for Palestine. The word map does not even feature.
AND THE PRESIDENT MAKES PLAIN THAT THE HOLOCAUST HAPPENED, BUT, HE
ARGUES WESTERN POWERS HAVE EXPLOITED THE MEMORY OF THE HOLOCAUST FOR
THEIR OWN IMPERIALISTIC PURPOSES.
WHAT THE MAINSTREAM RAN WITH IS COMPLETE DECEPTION.
The deception has been aided by the fact that much of the media use an
�independent� company called Middle East Media Research Institute
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~lt;http://www.guardian.co.uk/elsewhere/journalist/story/

former(?) Israeli Military Intelligence officer, Colonel Yigal Carmon
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~lt;http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Yigal_Carmon&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt; .
Indeed a look at Wikipedia� s incomplete staff list seems to suggest a
heavy Israeli bias in staffing and at least two more ex-Israeli
Military Intelligence people. Still the little red email is sure that�s
just a coincidence, as is the fact that the Israeli army (presumably
military intelligence) has also used this mistranslation tactic in the
past &~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~lt;http://www.robert-fisk.com/articles75.htm&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt; .
And once Ahmadinejad had been brushed with the wacko Jew destroyer tag,
it was a short hop, skip and ein Sprung before he was alongside Adolf
Hitler in the pantheon of baddies. Like Milosevic and Hussein before
him, Ahmadinejad�s Hitler comparison is as sure a sign war is imminent.
Unlike Hitler though Ahmadinejad doesn�t rule Iran, nor does he control
its foreign or military policy. The man in charge of all that is Iran�s
Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Iran is a theocracy, and Khamenei is the theocrat-in-chief. To give you
an idea of where Ahmadinejad lies in Iran�s political hierarchy, note
that no one can even run for the presidency in the first place without
the approval of Khamenei and the Guardian Council, a group of six
clerics and six conservative jurists that are selected by Khamenei.
AHMADINEJAD SERVES THE PURPOSE OF BEING A BELIEVABLE BOGEYMAN.
He�ll find his Ph.D. in civil engineering and being a founding member
of the Iran Tunnel
Society useful if Seymour Hersch�s bunker-busting nuke allegations come
true.

The Salvador Option in Iraq
"Those who can make you believe absurdities can make
you commit atrocities."
By John Pilger
May 5, 2006
New Statesman
The lifts in the New York Hilton played CNN on a small screen you could
not avoid watching. Iraq was top of the news; pronouncements about a
"civil war" and "sectarian violence" were repeated incessantly. It was
as if the US invasion had never happened and the killing of tens of
thousands of civilians by the Americans was a surreal fiction. The
Iraqis were mindless Arabs, haunted by religion, ethnic strife and the
need to blow themselves up. Unctuous puppet politicians were paraded
with no hint that their exercise yard was inside an American fortress.
And when you left the lift, this followed you to your room, to the
hotel gym, the airport, the next airport and the next country. Such is
the power of America's corporate propaganda, which, as Edward Said
pointed out in Culture and Imperialism, "penetrates electronically"
with its equivalent of a party line.
The party line changed the other day. For almost three years it was
that al-Qaeda was the driving force behind the "insurgency", led by Abu
Musab al-Zarqawi, a bloodthirsty Jordanian who was clearly being
groomed for the kind of infamy Saddam Hussein enjoys. It mattered not
that al-Zarqawi had never been seen alive and that only a fraction of
the "insurgents" followed al-Qaeda. For the Americans, Zarqawi's role
was to distract attention from the thing that almost all Iraqis oppose:
the brutal Anglo-American occupation of their country.
Now that al-Zarqawi has been replaced by "sectarian violence" and
"civil war", the big news is the attacks by Sunnis on Shia mosques and
bazaars. The real news, which is not reported in the CNN "mainstream",
is that the Salvador Option has been invoked in Iraq. This is the
campaign of terror by death squads armed and trained by the US, which
attack Sunnis and Shias alike. The goal is the incitement of a real
civil war and the break-up of Iraq, the original war aim of Bush's
administration. The ministry of the interior in Baghdad, which is run
by the CIA, directs the principal death squads. Their members are not
exclusively Shia, as the myth goes. The most brutal are the Sunni-led
Special Police Commandos, headed by former senior officers in Saddam's
Ba'ath Party. This unit was formed and trained by CIA
"counter-insurgency" experts, including veterans of the CIA's terror
operations in central America in the 1980s, notably El Salvador. In his
new book, Empire's Workshop (Metropolitan Books), the American
historian Greg Grandin describes the Salvador Option thus: "Once in
office, [President] Reagan came down hard on central America, in effect
letting his administration's most committed militarists set and execute
policy. In El Salvador, they provided more than a million dollars a day
to fund a lethal counter-insurgency campaign . . . All told, US allies
in central America during Reagan's two terms killed over 300,000
people, tortured hundreds of thousands and drove millions into exile."
Although the Reagan administration spawned the current Bushites, or
"neo-cons", the pattern was set earlier. In Vietnam, death squads
trained, armed and directed by the CIA murdered up to 50,000 people in
Operation Phoenix. In the mid-1960s in Indonesia CIA officers compiled
"death lists" for General Suharto's killing spree during his seizure of
power. After the 2003 invasion, it was only a matter of time before
this venerable "policy" was applied in Iraq.
According to the investigative writer Max Fuller (National Review
Online), the key CIA manager of the interior ministry death squads "cut
his teeth in Vietnam before moving on to direct the US military mission
in El Salvador". Professor Grandin names another central America
veteran whose job now is to "train a ruthless counter-insurgent force
made up of ex-Ba'athist thugs". Another, says Fuller, is well-known for
his "production of death lists". A secret militia run by the Americans
is the Facilities Protection Service, which has been responsible for
bombings. "The British and US Special Forces," concludes Fuller, "in
conjunction with the [US-created] intelligence services at the Iraqi
defence ministry, are fabricating insurgent bombings of Shias."
On 16 March, Reuters reported the arrest of an American "security
contractor" who was found with weapons and explosives in his car. Last
year, two Britons disguised as Arabs were caught with a car full of
weapons and explosives; British forces bulldozed the Basra prison to
rescue them. The Boston Globe recently reported: "The FBI's
counter-terrorism unit has launched a broad investigation of US-based
theft rings after discovering that some of the vehicles used in deadly
car bombings in Iraq, including attacks that killed US troops and Iraqi
civilians, were probably stolen in the United States, according to
senior government officials."
As I say, all this has been tried before - just as the preparation of
the American public for an atrocious attack on Iran is similar to the
WMD fabrications in Iraq. If that attack comes, there will be no
warning, no declaration of war, no truth. Imprisoned in the Hilton
lift, staring at CNN, my fellow passengers could be excused for not
making sense of the Middle East, or Latin America, or anywhere. They
are isolated. Nothing is explained. Congress is silent. The Democrats
are moribund. And the freest media on earth insult the public every
day. As Voltaire put it: "Those who can make you believe absurdities
can make you commit atrocities."

Government Using Citizens
As Guinea Pigs and Torturing
Innocents with
Directed-Energy Weapons
By Greg Szymanski

http://www.rense.com/general71/dire.htm
�
CIA thugs now have at their diabolical disposal the most evil and
cunning torture ever devised by any government in the history of the
world, according to a researcher in bio-molecular systems regarding the
effects of GHz radiation on the human nervous system.
Researcher Harian E. Girard of Philadelphia said gigahertz radiation
pulsed at ultra-low frequencies is being used covertly by U.S.
intelligence against its own people, using a sampling of the population
as unwilling and unsuspecting "guinea pigs."
Girard's initial report on the use of electronic weaponry first
appeared in 1991 at a NATO advanced research workshop at the University
of Arizona on the coherent and emergent phenomena in bio-molecular
systems, tying this type of highly sophisticated communications
equipment to recent developments in the technology of political
control.
And according to other researchers since Girard's report first appeared
as the domestic political agenda of former President George Herbert
Walker Bush, the program has expanded to include tens of thousands of
American citizens being tortured on a daily basis in what has been
called "the perfect crime or the silent killer."
"It is truly satanic in its moral and ethical implications," said
Girard in his NATO presentation, which in the last 15 years has fallen
on deaf ears in the U.S. Congress,�who are�silently allowing the
torture to proceed in the face of more than probable cause evidence.
"It is a torture which is commensurate with the degeneracy of a nation
which is prepared and well on its way to polluting all life on earth
into extinction."
In his report, Girard pointed out that the use of this highly
sophisticated communications equipment, using gigahertz radiation
pulsed at low frequencies, revolutionizes the way of viewing the human
brain and neuromuscular system.
Girard added that the technology can, of course, be used for both and
evil purposes, recommending� physicians treating the dead or dying in
the police state called America should consider the patients known
political views and associations before making a diagnosis or
conducting an autopsy.
"The United States has developed communications equipment which can
make the blind see, the deaf hear and the lame walk. It can relieve the
terminally ill of all pain, without the use of any drugs. A man might
retain the use of all his faculties up until the day of his death,"
said Girard.
"This communications equipment depends on a new way of looking at the
human brain and neuromuscular system, and gigahertz radiation pulsed at
ultra-low frequencies. Some of this equipment is now operational within
the Central Intelligence Agency and the Federal Bureau of
Investigation. It will never be used to make the blind see and the deaf
hear and the lame walk because its use is central to the domestic
political agenda and foreign policy of James A. Baker and George
Herbert Walker Bush.
"Domestically, the new communications equipment is being used to
torture and murder persons who match profiles imagined to be able to
screen a given population for terrorists, to torture and murder
citizens who belong to organizations which promote peace and
development in Central America, to torture and murder citizens who
belong to organizations opposed to the deployment and use of nuclear
weapons, and to create a race of slaves called Automatons or what is
popularly called the Manchurian Candidate.
"Overseas, experimentation is taking place on hostages held by the
United States in Canada, Great Britain, Australia, Germany, Finland and
France. In addition, there has been a long series of bizarre suicides
among British computer scientists, all of whom had some connection to
the United States Navy."
And 15 years after this report first surfaced, there have been a
growing number of Americans coming forward with stories about directed
energy weapons being used against them. Unofficially, figures indicate
tens of thousands of innocent citizens may have been targeted in
ongoing government experimental programs.
What is most disheartening, however, is law enforcement and Congress
ignore the problem while the bulk of the American people either have
dismissed the victims as being subject to paranoid delusions, not yet
catching on to the government torture programs going virtually in their
own backyards.
To introduce the scope of the problem to the unknowing and those
remaining skeptical, its wise to go back to 1988 when the Office
Technology assessment of the U.S. Congress published a special report
entitled Criminal Justice: New Technologies and the Constitution.
The report surveyed in both a technical and legal nature the use of
these new communication technologies as it pertained to the
investigation, apprehension, and confinement of criminals, looking at
the delicate balance between the "national interest and individual
rights."
However, the report conveniently omitted any reference to the use of
directed energy weapons from the section on "less than lethal" weapons.
For example, according to Girard, most Americans are completely unaware
that their military has in its arsenal a weapon capable of paralyzing a
person at a distance through a brick wall, if necessary.

Revealing: Email exchange with real election poll worker
The following is a real email received a few hours ago from a real poll
worker who closed down one of the polls in Ohio on primary election day
which was just head on May 2, 2006. The name has been changed because
the idea is not to put the focus on any one person.
This email exchange is very instructive, and may be very helpful if you
are trying to figure out exactly what is wrong with machine and
computerized elections, and if you want to keep your eye on the ball as
to what the solution is.

Remember the normal sentences are from Gail the poll worker, the
comments enclosed by five stars (****) - are my responses to her.
Begin of my response:
Dear Gail -

Thanks for writing - my responses and questions below are behind five

I can tell that you are a sincere person from the last part of your
email. Please read the following carefully. I am not trying to offend
you, but I have been pretty "hard" on some of your statements, as the
hour is late, and if good people like yourself don't wake up soon, then
the next generation is going to be in the clutches of the same crowd
that is now warping so many things in the world.

Subject: Electronic voting
�
You have a very interesting website.� The new electronic devices for
voting do not have a modem that is connected by a mainframe or
accessible by wireless.
�
***** Thanks for the compliment. --- But how do you know that these
mysterious black metal containers do not have modems in them accessible
by wireless? There is plenty of room in the boxes we fed our votes into
in Hamilton County for a modem. The voters can't see what's going on
once the ATM-like machine eats their ballot. Diebold and ES &S (which
Hamilton County uses) have been caught lying or deceiving many times,
most recently in Leon County, Florida -where the county election
supervisor allowed a test which proved the machines can be hacked and
the votes altered without detection. This was 3 months ago. Google "Ion
Sancho Leon County Diebold". There is a movie coming out this fall - a
real life documentary - which will blow the lid off of all the
votefraud syndicate's corruption. ******
�
�
�This is not the case at present.� The voting machines do have a lan
card which could link to a mainframe if it was connected with a phone
line.�
�
***** When the machines are brought downtown, they could then be hooked
up to the mainframe so that whatever is in the little computer in the
machine from each precinct is dumped into the big mainframe. (But how
do we know what's in the little computer in the machines at each
precinct? What if it's pre-programmed before the election starts to
give 60% to 40% in this race, 53% to 47% in this race, -- and all the
little computer does is note how many ballots are fed in, and
manufactures the "count" to fit the pre-programmed "results." Since
there is no hand count of the votes done at the precinct by the normal
neighborhood citizens, we have no way of knowing.*****
�
There is no mysterious wireless modem built in.�
�
***** How do you know this? There is plenty of room in those boxes for
a modem. There are little computers in the boxes, or how do they count
the ballots and votes when we feed it in? How do we know there is not a
modem in that computer? *****
�
Many voting precincts in Cincinnati have their voting machines in
buildings that have no phone jacks whatsoever as ours.� We have four
precincts in one building. Any communication is done with a cell phone
and communication is only when needed in the most extreme case.
�
***** Since the ballots disappear from the sight of the public ---
(which used to be illegal in the United States, because anyone who
wants to take the ballots out of public view before they are counted
was - rightly - viewed as someone who wanted to have the option to fix
the vote), --- there is no need to monitor and possibly alter the votes
at the precinct level. That can be done once the votes go downtown and
the box is hooked to the mainframe. *****
�
� The Board of Elections is independent of the vendor of the voting
machines.
�
***** Yes and no. The Board of Elections could technically kick out all
of these mysterious vendors and all their machines and computers --�
and then re-institute a citizen hand count at the neighborhood precinct
- which they should do. But 99% of our Boards of Election seem to be
under some mysterious force which causes them to have a deplorable I.Q.
drop when it comes to counting the vote - which causes them to betray
the voters by delegating the counting to basically one of these four
mysterious mega-companies (Diebold, Election Systems & Software, Triad,
Sequoia). *****
�
� The only purpose or replacement the electronic machines provide is
that it is an electronic drop box.
�
***** Totally unnecessary. We need a clear plastic drop box where the
ballots are always in public view at the precinct until they are
counted IN THE OPEN and in the view of all factions at closing time -
by well paid, randomly selected voters from that neighborhood precinct.
The only purpose of the new drop box is to make sure that the citizens
cannot get at their ballots at all so that they can be counted before
they are whisked away. The circumstances that prevail in this respect
in the USA in 2006 - is just like voting conditions which prevail and
have prevailed over the last century in a Communist tyranny or in a tin
horn dictatorship. *****
�
� The paper ballots are in the machine and are counted by hand just
like the old punch cards.
�
***** The number of paper ballots cast are counted by the faithful
workers when the polls close - but NO VOTES ON THE BALLOTS ARE COUNTED
AT THE PRECINCT. This is the fatal flaw in the whole system. The number
of punch card ballots cast were counted by hand for the last 30 years
in Hamilton County, until they were discontinued this year. They were
counted equally mysteriously. They were taken down town and run through
a machine which created a tape. That tape was then run over to another
building for years to be counted; when the Board of Elections moved
into its new building then the tape was counted on a computer in the
same building. Both the new and old systems are to "counted" in
complete secrecy with no press, citizens, or candidates allowed in the
room. The police were and are ordered to keep all these "prying eyes"
out - just like in a Communist tyranny or a tin horn dictatorship.
*****
�
�� There is less of a chance for fraud because there is not dispute of
hanging chads.� There are no chads.�
�
***** Chads, hanging chads, -- a system so stupid that it's
unimaginable how those whose full time job it was to safeguard the
voters could have been convinced to use such a system. Imagine a
multi-million dollar system which depended on women sitting around with
household tweezers pulling out chad to make it work! ---- Of course,
how the chad was created is another question. Honestly, Gail - if you
have worked at the polls for years - how many pieces of hanging chad
did you ever see at the neighborhood precinct. I voted on the system
for 34 years - AND NEVER HAD ONE PIECE OF HANGING CHAD. Furthermore, it
took real effort to create a hanging chad. Where did they come from?
That's another story.
�
The format on the ballot is easier to read and the machine keeps the
voter from over voting. *****
�
***** The new ballot is certainly excellent with regard to being easy
to read. The old punch card system was IMPOSSIBLE to read, unless you
had a key, and there were other potential problems beyond that. I'm not
convinced the new system stops over-voting. I was told at my precinct
that I could feed the ballot in top first, bottom first, upside down,
or right side up - I was told it didn't matter - the machine would
count it anyway. I'd like to see the explanation of how that works. How
does it allegedly catch overvotes? I'd like to hear how the programming
for that is done. *****
�
� I have in the past lost count of how many votes I punched on the old
system and would stop voting so I would not overvote and undervoted.�
If you overvoted on the old system your voter ballot did not count at
all.� On the new machine it kicks back the ballot if you overvote.
�
***** You are right on the over-voting on the old system - up to 12% of
the ballots would sometimes not be counted because of various mistakes,
including over-voting. I'd like to see some proof of how the new
machines prevent over-voting, although this is not the most important
issue. It would be reasonable to say that if the voter can't follow
directions, then his vote on that issue shouldn't count. However,
without a hand count, the computer kicks out the ballot if the voter
over votes on only one issue - another blow against computerized
voting. *****
�
� All votes on the old punch card system were hand counted and reviewed
by the Board of Elections at the main facility which is still the case.
�
****** This is absolutely false. Where are you getting this
information? No votes are hand-counted, unless there is a request for a
recount - then the poor sap requesting the recount must designate 10
days or so in advance what 3% of the precincts he wants to recount by
hand. (Giving somebody a chance to switch the ballots and make sure
they fit the computer count?) Again, hand counting at the precinct
would make any centralized rigging impossible - which is the why the
current corrupt or duped leaders from county to the state and national
level - are adamantly against it. *****
�
� The vendors of the voting machines do not count or review the counts
they merely provide the training and the machines to collect the votes.
�
***** You say this, I deny it. The major software companies (probably
really one company posing as four companies) have access to the count
through modems and or phone lines. They can query, determine, and alter
the count without the local people knowing it. What makes you say
otherwise? Read the piece, "How a Private Company counts our votes on
election night" on the home page of www.votefraud.org
�
and read the excellent article by Dr. Phil O'Halloran, "Pandora's Black
Box: Did it really count your vote?" - that article is here:
�
http://www.votefraud.org/relevance_o'halloran_pandora's_box.htm *****
�
�� It really is not what I call an electronic vote.�
�
***** Why don't you call it an electronic vote? The votes are "counted"
electronically both at the precinct (allegedly in the black box we feed
the ballots into) and at election headquarters on election night in the
mainframe computer. *****
�
It still uses paper ballots.�
�
***** Well, that's the minimum we need. We also need the ballots to
stay in public view, and be counted by neighborhood citizens and under
the watchful eye of all factions of the citizens in that precinct at
closing time. *****
�
The poll book still provides the same information as the past and all
provisional votes are scrutinized and in sealed envelopes as in the
past.
�
***** The Poll book is the same, and it should be. Everyone who is
allowed to vote should have been forced to register 30 days in advance
or not be allowed to vote - as in the 1960s. Provisional ballots are
totally insane, and that absurd law was slipped in by people trying to
make the vote as confusing as possible so the "wirepullers" at the four
big companies could fix the vote at the computer, if necessary, with as
little chance of being detected as possible. *****
�
� Same old system with a drop box that counts a ballot sheet instead of
box full of punch cards with chads.
�
***** Neither of these are "the same old system" - both are modern
inventions made by mysterious mega-powers to give them the opportunity
to fix elections. Totally impossible before the machines and computers
were introduced. (Fraud could happen when a precinct was all democrat
and all republican, and the people were crooked, but now we have a
situation where the whole country's vote can be potentially be fixed
from a room in New York City, Omaha, or Tel Aviv. *****
�
�You can volunteer if you like.�
�
***** I do not like. It is outrageous the way our corrupt Ruling Elite
sends $10 billion plus a year to such places as Egypt and Israel and
then underpays our elderly citizens to work 12 hours a day at the
polls. The local boards of election pay BILLIONS to these four corrupt
mega-software "vote-counting" companies, but cry like babies when
someone suggests they pay 12 citizens from each precinct, RANDOMLY
SELECTED by the voters in the precincts themselves a week before the
election, $100 each to REALLY count the votes at closing time, a task
that should take about four hours. Then, I submit, people like "Sen"
Charles Schumer of NY, "Sen" Arlen Specter of PA, and "Congresswoman"
Jean Schimdt --- would be sitting at home, not occupying public
offices. *****
�
There are always spots for you to work at the Board of Elections to see
how it really works instead of spreading fears of a system that is
evolving.
�
***** I know how it works, as I have studied this for 27 years, and
helped spearhead the only two significant lawsuits on this subject in
Hamilton County in the last 40 years. And that's why the powers that be
in Cincinnati have suppressed this message for 30 years, while
unconscionably betraying the trust of the voters. May I gently suggest
that you consider volunteering a few more hours of your time to study
my website, votefraud.org (the articles on the home page center, and
the first five articles in the "Must Read" archives), and the websites
recommended on my website, so as to understand exactly how the system
works once the ballots leave your hands shortly after 7:30 PM on
election night. --- This line of "why don't you volunteer" was thrown
at us in 1985 when the police were called to throw myself and the
Collier brothers out of the Board of Elections on election night - EVEN
THOUGH WE WERE DOING AN INVESTIGATION FOR THE COURT WITH A COURT ORDER
given to us by Judge R
�ichard Niehaus. A better question: why don't those paid in their full
time job to safeguard the voter's rights at each Board of Elections ---
DO THEIR JOB. The US Supreme Court has stated on two occasions that the
right to vote is composed of two parts: a) the right to cast a vote; b)
the right to know that your vote was counted PROPERLY. It is this
second part of the right to vote that is being betrayed by 99% of the
counties in the USA, including ALL the counties in Ohio. (This story of
my 1985 caper with the Colliers is found in Chapter 12 of "Votescam:
The Stealing of America.") *****
�
� There will always be doubts of the honesty of any system where people
are involved.
�
***** Yes, but when citizens count the vote at the end of the day
before the ballots leave the people's sight in each precinct - the
risks are minimized as much as is humanly possible. THAT'S WHAT WE
NEED. The system we have had in Ohio since 1973 is DESIGNED so that a
few powerful people can steal elections from the populace. *****
�
��Your site should propose a fool proof system even in theory.
�
***** We have, as far as is humanly possible. Only professional
politicians and big time media people "can't understand" it. Here it
is:
�
http://www.votefraud.org/how_our_votes_should_be_counted.htm *****
�
�� If you want to fix something tell us how to do it instead of trying
to discredit people who are trying to make the new system work.
�
****** Perhaps there is a misunderstanding here. I am NOT criticizing
the women at the Board of Elections, the good people who work at the
neighborhood polling places, or any volunteers in the system. I am
criticizing the County Commissioners and the decision makers at the
Board of Elections who allow these systems to be used that are "black
box voting" - are "votescam" personified - and completely betray the
trust of the voters by utterly failing to protect the verifiability of
the vote count. *****
�
� I challenge you to suggest a fool proof system on your website.� Tell
me how it would work.� I want to know since you seem to have the
answers as to how the present system won't.�
�
******* The best system possible, with some room for variation, again,
is here:
�
http://www.votefraud.org/how_our_votes_should_be_counted.htm
�
The key elements are: a) easily read paper ballots, which we now have
in Hamilton County once again; b) ballots that stay in full public view
all day at each precinct in clear plastic boxes; c) then the votes are
counted by neighborhood citizens at closing time, in full public view,
with citizens welcome to observe the count, as there is room; each
candidate involved would have an absolute right to have an observer in
each precinct; neighborhood citizens are chosen at random by the
neighborhood citizens themselves at a pre-meeting about two weeks
before the voting day; c) results are posted in full public view at the
neighborhood precinct for all to see before the ballots leave the
neighborhood precinct.� ------ That's it. Central rigging of such an
election has been rendered impossible. With randomly selected citizens,
the people in power can't easily influence anyone to cheat. And if they
did try to influence too many people, it would get out. (That's why
those with bad int
�entions had to take the vote counting OUT of the hands of the
neighborhood citizens.) The purpose of elections, after all, is to be
able to "throw the bums out" if the people so desire. *****
�
The present electronic system was selected from three vendors and the
training and equipment is provided to collect votes but the votes are
still counted by hand by the Election Judges and checked again by the
Board of Elections by hand.
�
***** Yes, the present electronic system (I'm glad you're calling it
electronic now) was selected from three mysterious mega-vendors, and
I'm guessing in Hamilton County it was between ES &S, Diebold, and
Triad, with ES & S winning. Each of these companies should have all of
their records seized in a midnight raid, and all the executives should
be indicted and perp-walked on national TV into jail. The resulting
trial would be worse than the Enron scandal, as it should be, as
stealing votes, elections, and offices, and nations - is more serious
than stealing money. For a short list of the goof-ups of these exact
companys' machines go to www.blackboxvoting.org and read chapters two
and the appendix of the online book, "Black Box Voting" (the footnotes
for the appendix are under the footnotes for chapter 2 in that book, as
the appendix is actually an extension of Chapter 2 ); here are both
direct links:
�
http://www.blackboxvoting.org/bbv_chapter-2.pdf
�
http://www.blackboxvoting.org/bbv_appendix.pdf
�
There are many, many, many more examples than detailed in those
chapters in the last 35 years regarding massive foul-ups dating back to
around the time machines and computers were introduced en masse circa
1971.
�
This idea that the votes (as opposed to the ballots) are "still" hand
counted on election day is absolutely false. There is not one vote
counted by hand on election day unless there is a breakdown of the
system. Where in the world are you getting these ideas? If the system
works properly, no vote is counted by hand unless there is a challenge
for a recount. In that case, the votes are kept out of public view for
about 21 days, at which point 3% of the ballots are produced (plenty of
time to make sure the original ballots -- or substitute ballots -- will
match the computer count). All of this is wrong, wrong, wrong, -- as
easily seen when a normal person compares what is happening now to our
solution at the link above, which again, is here:
�
http://www.votefraud.org/how_our_votes_should_be_counted.htm *****
�
�� All ballots are still paper.
�
***** In Hamilton county this is true - and, on this we agree - the new
ballots, put in use on May 2, 2006 in Hamilton County - are infinitely
better than the punch cards, and are actually perfect as far as they go
for readability. If the citizens would just count them at each precinct
- then we would have an honest, open, and verifiable system. However,
it should be noted, the international computer votefraud syndicate
actually duped the locals in the entire state of Georgia into
installing touch screens WITHOUT a paper trail !!! No way to check if
the computer glitches! And this has happened many times. Now, people
like Congressman Rush Holt and Senator Hillary Clinton are proposing
adding paper ballots back in as the "solution." However, easily read
paper ballots AND a hand count at the neighborhood precinct at the
close of the polls is what is necessary to restore honest and
verifiable elections. Hillary, Move on.org, Newt Gingrich, and a the
entire national Ruling Elite
�in government and media - leave the hand count at the precinct out,
without which the paper ballot is essentially useless. *****
�
� The electronic voting machines provide a third reliable system that
insures the hand counted ballots are coninciding with each other.
�
***** After the citizens hand count the ballots at the precinct, then
the Board of Elections can take them downtown and play with them all
they want. What is crooked about all the machine systems and computer
systems is that the hand count at the precinct is forbidden. WHY? I
know why. And if you think about it, you will, too - although it's
pretty horrible to contemplate, because most people don't want to face
that the criminal factions in this world are so evil. *****
�
� I count the ballots, the ballots left over, the provisional votes,
the soiled votes and all are accounted for in a Balance Sheet.�
�
***** Yes, you count the BALLOTS, but not the votes on the ballots.
This is in no way counting the votes as specified in our solution at
the link above, which is how it used to be done all over the USA. I am
in touch with a man who is the heard of an election district in New
Hampshire where the votes are STILL COUNTED PROPERLY. I will be running
an interview with him soon, and I will post it on votefraud.org. If you
are in Ohio, there is no way you count the votes before they leave the
precinct. Is this not correct? If you will grant an interview, I will
post your interview also, but I will double check any claims that do
not correspond with our current well researched understanding of the
system.
�
If we are wrong on something, though, then I will gladly admit we are
wrong. We are just in this for an honest vote count - our country's
future, our children's future depend on it. *****
�
The electronic machine counts also with multiple copies
�
***** Multiple copies? What does that mean? Please explain. *****
�
and the Board of Elections counts all items by hand and cross checks
the tape tally from the electronic scanner.
�
**** When you say counts all items by hand, are you again referring to
merely counting the physical ballots? If so that has nothing to do with
counting the votes themselves. The Board of Elections (anywhere in
Ohio) absolutely does not count the votes by hand, unless someone
forces a recount, and then only 3% of the ballots - designated far in
advance - are counted (if they are really the original ballots, which I
feel certain is NOT always the case). Now, when you introduce the tape
tally from the electronic scanner - I assume you are talking about the
little tape that the little computer in each precinct machine spits out
when certain buttons somewhere are pushed. Do you mean that in Hamilton
County, Ohio (which contains Cincinnati), where there are about 1100
precincts, that the Board of Elections, once they get all the big black
boxes downtown, or the little computers from same, -- that they print
out 1100 little tapes and add them up? I doubt it. I would guess they
allegedly plug all these little computer boxes from each precinct into
the big mainframe computer, which then spits out the alleged results.
*****
�
�� This is a well thought out system and takes many cross checks to
insure accuracy.
�
***** It is a well thought out system to defraud the voters - and steal
the nation and the world. There are absolutely no effective cross
checks to insure accuracy once the actual ballots leave the precinct
before they have been counted by the neighborhood voters. *****
�
� The new provisional votes are now with three parts to insure no fraud.
�
***** The fact that there are the absurd provisional ballots at all
absolutely insures that their will be massive fraud across the nation
with hundreds of thousands of ineligible voters illegally voting; this
may not be a big problem in Cincinnati, but it is in the southwest with
so many illegal aliens. It's also very helpful for crooked factions
ensconced at some board of elections who want to pack the ballots box
with phony ballots. (Provisional ballots are used by people who walk
into a precinct on election day and say, "I just moved here." The poll
workers can't refuse the person a ballot, and are not allowed to even
check if the person is a citizen; the system is too absurd for words,
and designed to make centralized computer votefraud easier to pull off
and harder to detect. *****
�
� Before it was just information on the envelope and a ballot inside
but now there are two extra forms to insure there is less chance of
fraud.
�
***** I don't see how this in any way prevents fraud for the reasons
given above. 10 copies don't help when you let anyone walk up and claim
that should be allowed to vote. *****
�
� Let me know if you would like to discuss this further to clear up
misunderstandings between the sensationalism your site provides and the
facts of what is really being done.�
�
***** Let me know if you are willing to come on camera with me and
discuss this - and we'll put it up on the internet for everyone to
evaluate. Better yet, get the decision makers of the Board of Elections
or the county commissioners to come on camera with me and we'll have a
moderated discussion. There is no sensationalism on my site, unless is
be the sensational fact that the decision makers at 99% of the Boards
of Elections across the USA have betrayed the voters trust for the last
generation with these made-to-be-crooked machine and computer systems.
Believe me, if anybody is willing to go on camera --- we'll clear up a
lot of misunderstandings, but it will be for the voters, many of whom
can't believe the type of betrayal they've become victims of. *****
�
The new system sure beats the old.
�
***** In this one sense: we can now again, after 35 years, read the
ballots again in plain English (instead of totally unreadable IBM punch
cards). But, without the hand count by the neighborhood citizens at the
precinct, this system is just as bad as the old in that it is
completely unverifiable, that is, we don't know for sure who won or
lost any of the races or any of the issues in contested races. *****
�
� I do admit that I did not like seeing the lan modem built in the new
machines.
�
****** Good for you; all machines and computers need to be thrown out
of the election process in favor of the "citizen count at sundown" at
the neighborhood precinct. Elections would be exciting - and REAL
again. *****
�
� You could always dissect one to see what it has inside but you would
go to jail for it believe me.
�
***** No, I could not always dissect one to see what was on the inside.
And neither can anybody else, no matter how smart they are. The Los
Angeles Times did "war games" in 1967 and hired two sets of computer
experts. One team was to try and fix the mock election, and the other
was to try and catch how they fixed it. Then the teams switched roles.
After 35 tries --- get this - the team that fixed the computers won
every time. The other team of computer experts was never able to catch
the fraud! Furthermore, every court decision in the USA since the 1970s
has BLOCKED anyone from looking at the source code which instructs the
computers what to do on election night! Now, I or anyone else would go
to jail for trying to see what the mysterious little black boxes were
instructing the computers to do on election night? So right you are!
And this in itself should tell the alert citizen all they need to know:
our electoral process has fallen into the hands of crooks at the
national level, and the election officials at the local level in 99% of
our counties during the last 35 years are and have been either
brain-dead or crooked during in this regard. The police are (illegally)
instructed to keep all citizens away from counting any votes or
checking any counts on election day in 99% of our counties. Does that
alone not tell you how wrong things are? *****
�
� It will happen because the machines are delivered and left overnight
the night before election day and it is just a matter of time before
someone crawls in a window and grabs one.�
�
***** I'm not worried about some bum or kid crawling in a window, I'm
worried about the crooks at Election Systems & Software (ES &S),
Diebold, Triad, and Sequoia - who have total control of all the source
code to all the computers in over 90% of the nation! But, the danger of
machines being left alone overnight - would be non-existent if the
machines were thrown out and the election was conducted as I have
explained above. *****
�
That type of thing is scary to think a machine is left in a place
overnight that is not very secure.
�
***** The scary thing is that the machines are controlled on election
day by a few people at a few companies. If there was ANY danger to the
Ruling Elite behind these companies in leaving the machines overnight -
they would have 5 armed guards stay with the machines all night. What
you are telling me here is that these machines used in the precinct are
totally irrelevant except to verify how many people voted, so that the
software companies can fix the vote accordingly, to match the actual
number of ballots cast. Again, if the election could be affected by
someone crawling in a window - the crooks behind the computer votefraud
syndicate would have armed guards with every machine. *****
�
� At least if one was dissected it would dispell the myths about how
these machines work.
�
***** No. No. No. Dissecting these machines would do not good at all.
They can even be programmed to work properly when tested 5 minutes
before the voting begins, and then switch to counting the votes
improperly at 6:30 AM when the polls open. Thankfully, there are two
generations of young people (under 40) who are not in awe of computers,
and realize how easy it is to fix them. The older generations (I'm 53)
seem to be in utter awe as if computers and those who work them are
some kind of gods and demi-gods. This blind trust is, thankfully, all
coming to an end. *****
�
�I am more concerned with people being scared away from the polls
because they think the new system is more difficult.
�
***** How can they think the new system is more difficult when the
local Board of Elections has probably spent $300,000 telling everyone
how easy it is? I got a few slick pieces of mail myself saying how easy
the new system is to use. Incidentally, our local Board of Elections is
following the strategy, whether they know it or not, of George Soros
and the international computer votefraud syndicate: always talk about
how EASY the system is to use, never talk about how we are sure the
vote is being counted properly. *****
�
� I am sworn to report any suspicious activity from any other poll
workers and will do so as most any other poll worker.� It is hard to
trust people but Election Judges are there to do their civic duty and I
am proud to provide this service and the numbers that I see on the t.v.
results that do not look right will be reported.
�
***** Ma'am - you are NOT the problem. Neither are all the other
citizen workers. The problem is at the four mega-companies that
secretly count 90%+ of our nation's votes, and with the decision makers
in each county who have delegated the authority to secretly count the
vote to them, and who have allowed these outrageous systems to be used
at all. I have no problem trusting the Election Judges who are there to
do their civic duty - I don't trust those four big companies who are
counting our nation's vote in secret, and neither should anybody else,
no matter who is running them (even if it were me - there must always
be checks and balances). There is no way to tell from TV results if
close races have been fixed, despite your best intentions to catch it,
or anybody else's. Those stealing America through computerized
votefraud are not stupid. They are not going to have Joe Hippie "beat"
a seasoned veteran like Hamilton County's Sheriff Simon Leis - that
would be too obvious. They have to make the "results" believable
through their Big Media, but that's another story. *****
�
� The idea of voter fraud is not an easy proposition as most would
believe.
�
**** I'm not talking about "voter" fraud, although there is some of
that. I'm talking about computerized votefraud orchestrated from the
top, by the mysterious companies "counting" our votes in secret. *****
�
Come up with a model of a fool proof system and put it on your website.�
�
***** Again, we have posted the system which is as fool proof as is
possible in this world - but it is a system that makes CENTRALIZED
rigging of elections totally impossible. *****
�
If you don't
�
***** I did *****
�
then you quit complaining
�
***** I will be complaining as loudly as I can, and encourage as many
other people as possible to complain as loudly as they can, until we
get back an honest and verifiable system. As you may know, I have put
numerous radio ads on WLW and WKRC in 1985, 1987, and 2000-2005
exposing these problems, and many thousands of people are ready to do
something as soon as they know what to do. *****
�
�and spreading fear.
�
****** People need to be afraid of this crooked computer system and the
votefraud syndicate crooks who designed it. Fear is good when there is
something to be afraid of. -------- I am touched by your recounting
above of how hard you try to do your job well. I know that is the case
with almost every citizen worker. This makes me doubly determined to
expose and bring down the mega-international votefraud syndicate who
are using your good faith and good efforts, and using my appearance at
the polls, as well as the appearance of all the other voters at the
polls, as window dressing to give their crooked computer-vote counting
systems the credibility they need to keep the scam going, with a view
to stealing the future and the world. If that seems fantastic, go to
this link: the motive behind computerized votefraud, which is here:
�
http://votefraud.org/the_motive_behind_computerized_votefraud.htm
�
We can win, beat the computer votefraud syndicate, restore honest
elections, and take control of our nation's future once again, but only
when good citizens educate themselves and face reality. Then the
victory will come naturally for honest elections. Until then, expect
more unnecessary wars, more contrived terrorist attacks, increasing gas
prices, $35 for a bounced check, young people unable to afford to buy
houses, increasing taxes and usurious interest rates, the merging of
the USA with Mexico and Canada, etc. etc. etc.

Mary,
It seems that Ms. MacElveen has missed the mark all the way around with this
bit of unresearched and misinformed piece. Cubana flight 455 was indeed the
work of our own government on the order of those even more powerful at the
top of the money chain, using the NSC, NSA, DOJ, FBI, CIA, and many other US
government agencies and entities. All of which had close ties to HW Bush and
Clinton.

I would suggest to Mary that she contact the Venezuelian government. I am
sure they have the complete list. And I would also suggest that there may be
two reasons why Bush won't extradite this criminal, if it is true that he was
involved.
Bush won't cooperate with Hugo Chavez about anything. He knows that Chavez
is the true democratically elected leader of his country. No, ole pole cat
Bush is trying to convince the world that Chavez is an evil dictator who must
be overthrown so WE can get at their big pool of oil...sound familiar?
Also, since there is so much evidence that the neocons were involved in
9/11, there may also be evidence out there that our government was involved in
this plane crash, too.
As for flight 93, still too many questions about that crash, the 'plane'
that hit the Pentagon, and certainly about our newest Pearl Harbor, 9/11.
I concur with Mary that there are definitely gaps in this evidence. But
trying to get all the facts may be a real "dissident" effort.

Mary MacElveen writes: Yesterday, while sentencing
Zacarias Moussaoui, Judge Leonie Brinkema stated that he would "die with
a whimper," isolated from the world and not in the glory of
martyrdom."
While I agree with her words directed towards Moussaoui, the government
of the United States seems to have an unequal justice system when
dealing with known terrorists.
We have come to know many of the names of those lives taken on September
11, 2001 ... and it helps us to remember that these were real people,
who left behind family members and friends to grieve their loss.
Behavioral scientists here in the United States often suggest that
victims be named in serial killings so that it can aid them in bringing
those responsible to justice. The same applies to those who fall victim
to terrorism. They also do so, so that these monsters (both serial
killers and terrorists alike) will see their victims as human beings.
But, rarely does that happen. Terrorists like serial killers are the
monsters of any society and it is incumbent for any civil society to
bring them to justice and to deal with them harshly.
In my search for the passenger list of Cubana flight 455, of which Luis
Posada Carriles masterminded the explosion, I could not find the
complete list anywhere on the Internet ... as if these people's lives
did not matter. Then again, Posada Carriles is being held in Miami
(Florida) and the government of these United States has even entertained
letting him stay in this country to evade justice in Venezuela.
I found some names of the victims who perished on flight 455 and, in a
fax to Bush, I included this passage: "On October 6, 1976 the captain of
Cubana flight 455, Wilfredo Perez Perez, radioed to the control tower:
"We have an explosion aboard, we are descending immediately! ... We have
fire on board! We are requesting immediate landing! We have a total
emergency!"
Posada Carriles masterminded the terrorist attack that murdered him,
along with innocent passengers. Wilfredo Perez Perez was just as
important to his family as Pilot Jason Dahl (Flight 93) was to his.
Posada Carriles should be brought finally to justice and be sentenced by
a Venezuelan judge ... just like Moussaoui was sentenced by a United
States judge yesterday."
"Also among the dead on Flight 455 were all 24 members of the 1975
national Cuban Fencing team that had just won all the gold medals in the
Central American & Caribbean Championships; many were teenagers.
Nowhere could I find the list of their names. On that fateful flight
were several officials of the Cuban government: their names were Manuel
Permuy Hernandez, Jorge de la Nuez Suarez, Alfonso Gonzalez, and Domingo
Chacon Coello. Others on that fateful flight included 11 Guyanese
passengers included 18 and 19-year-old medical students, and the young
wife of a Guyanese diplomat."
Where are these people's names?
Don't these people's lives still matter to anyone?
When I was searching fruitlessly for the names of those who were lost on
Cubana flight 455, I was able to find the passenger list of those who
perished on flight 93. As we all know. a movie has just been made
detailing the last moments of their lives...
Do not get me wrong ... I grieve their loss and pray for their family
members and friends left behind. I grieve for every family member and
friend who lost a loved one on 9/11. But, I also pray for any victim of
terrorism ... and that includes those who perished on flight 455.
* I was eighteen at the time it happened, and back then we did not
have 24/7 cable newscasts to report on these events ... we had to rely
on the six o'clock news and I wonder now: Was it even reported?
As I have reported here in the past, the reason why Posada Carriles is
not being sent back to Venezuela is due to a US judge's opinion that he
will be tortured. As I have read accounts and watched videos of the life
that now awaits Moussaoui at a Supermax prison in Colorado, he will be
tortured ... he will sit in a jail cell 23 hours a day with little
contact with human beings ... he will only see the guards as they
deliver his meals or take him for his one hour a day recreation ... he
will not see the other inmates that are now spending the rest of their
life at that prison.
Inmates such as Terry Nichols who helped Timothy McVeigh blow up the
Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City. His (Moussaoui's) jail cell
will also be sound proof ... so, there he will sit for the rest of his
life.
Do not get me wrong, since he wanted to kill my fellow Americans (yet
had little involvement which spared his life), he does not push my pity
buttons. Shouldn't Posada Carriles ... who actually had a hand in the
taking of innocent lives ... be dealt the same form of punishment in a
Venezuelan prison?
If you are for punishing any terrorist with extreme measures, then your
answer must be yes.
The only reason why he (Posada Carriles) is not serving out any life
sentence in Venezuela is for this reason: Posada Carriles escaped
justice when he broke out of a Venezuelan prison just before he was to
be sentenced. By Venezuelan law a defendant can not be sentenced in
absentia.
In the past, the government of the United States has deported Nazi war
criminals to Israel to face justice. and it is incumbent upon us to do
the same with Posada Carriles ... he is just as heinous as any Nazi.
All terrorists, no matter who they are, or the victims they targeted,
must be sent a clear message by any government that we will not accept
their demonic behavior ... they can try to rationalize why they did it
(as Moussaoui has), but in the end it should not excuse them from facing
the punishment they so rightly deserve.
Also rotting in the Supermax prison are terrorists Ramzi Yousef and Omar
Abdel-Rahman who took part in the 1993 Twin Tower bombings in New York
City. Imagine my outrage as I read US frees Caracas embassy bombers
after two years in immigration custody
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~lt;_http://vheadline.com/readnews.asp?id=55418_ () &~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt; ... this article which
originally ran in the Miami Herald and states: "Jose Antonio Colina and
German Rodolfo Varela, accused in Caracas of bombing two diplomatic
missions, are expected to be released Friday from an immigration
detention facility in Houston. The men will be allowed to join friends
or relatives under supervised conditions, attorneys Matthew Archambeault
and Federico Macia said."
I am going to be blunt here: Is the government of the United States
telling all of us that some lives are more important than others?
Are American lives more important than Cuban and Venezuelan lives?
It sure seems that way, seeing how terrorists such as Moussaoui, Yousef
and Abdel-Rahman are treated as compared to Carriles, Colina and Varela.
This disparity certainly proves that we are not serious about combating
terrorism when some get away with their crimes ... and others do not.
In the United States we have a statue called Lady Justice ... she has a
blindfold over her eyes to signify that she is blind no matter who the
defendant is or who the victim is.
* Clearly in the cases I mentioned above, someone has ripped her
blindfold off.
To the United States government: Do you want to prove that terrorism
must be punished?
Then send Posada Carriles, Colina and Varela back to Venezuela to face
their just punishment ... their victims cry out for justice too.

- The terrorists tend to be adherents of a particular racial and religious
philosophy.
- It is generally considered "taboo" to mention them by name.
- Their homeland is located in close proximity to the conflict in which they

Subject: Re: A Boeing 757 did not hit the Pentagon......maybe an A-3 -- and
The killer jet did not penetrate six concrete walls to burst out of the hole in ring-C. First, at the first floor level the Pentagon is one building at the first floor level from c to d rings (i.e., the rings are joined, there is no corridor at the first floor level), there are no walls, but only the pillars inside the building. Second, the hole in the c-ring wall may have been made by something else -- the hole being too clean and round for the exiting fuselage-engine of the killer jet. If the hole was made by an jet engine, it was the engine of a single-engine military plane, probably an F-16. (Lack of penetration to the left of pillars 14 and 15 indicate that the killer jet was not a two-engine plane.)
The Meyer also states at the end of his article that the lamp posts were torn from the ground. Actually some posts were snapped off and others broke at the bolts at the base.
Also one engine was recovered from the wreckage -- the one engine of a single-engine aircraft.
Forget the A-3 stuff -- the two-engine A-3 is much less likely than an F-16 or other jet fighter or single-engine missile platform.

A Boeing 757 did not hit the Pentagon
by Michael Meyer, Mechanical Engineer
To the members of the Scientific Panel Investigating Nine-Eleven:
I would like to give you my input as to the events on September 11, and why it is a physically provable fact that some of the damage done to the Pentagon could not have occurred from a Boeing 757 impact, and therefore the 9/11 Commission report is not complete and arguably a cover-up. I will not speculate about what may have been covered up, I will only speak from my professional opinion. But I will explain why I do not believe the Pentagon was hit by a Boeing 757.
I am a Mechanical Engineer who spent many years in Aerospace, including structural design, and in the design, and use of shaped charge explosives (like those that would be used in missile warheads).
The structural design of a large aircraft like a 757 is based around managing the structural loads of a pressurized vessel, the cabin, to near-atmospheric conditions while at the lower pressure region of cruising altitudes, and to handle the structural and aerodynamic loads of the wings, control surfaces, and the fuel load. It is made as light as possible, and is certainly not made to handle impact loads of any kind.
If a 757 were to strike a reinforced concrete wall, the energy from the speed and weight of the aircraft will be transferred, in part into the wall, and to the structural failure of the aircraft. It is not too far of an analogy as if you had an empty aluminum can, traveling at high speed hitting a reinforced concrete wall. The aluminum can would crumple (the proper engineering term is buckle) and, depending on the structural integrity of the wall, crack, crumble or fail completely. The wall failure would not be a neat little hole, as the energy of the impact would be spread throughout the wall by the reinforcing steel.
This is difficult to model accurately, as any high speed, high energy, impact of a complex structure like an aircraft, into a discontinuous wall with windows etc. is difficult. What is known is that nearly all of the energy from this event would be dissipated
in the initial impact, and subsequent buckling of the aircraft.
We are lead to believe that not only did the 757 penetrate the outer wall, but continued on to penetrate separate internal walls
totaling 9 feet of reinforced concrete. The final breach of concrete was a nearly perfectly cut circular hole (see below) in a reinforced concrete wall, with no subsequent damage to the rest of the wall. (If we are to believe that somehow this aluminum aircraft did in fact reach this sixth final wall.)

How do you create a nice clean hole in a reinforced concrete wall? with an explosive shaped charge. An explosive shaped charge, or cutting charge is used in various military warhead devices. You design the geometry of the explosive charge so that you create a focused line of energy. You essentially focus nearly all of the explosive energy in what is referred to as a jet. You use this jet to cut and penetrate armor on a tank, or the walls of a bunker. The signature is clear and unmistakable. In a missile, the explosive charge is circular to allow the payload behind the initial shaped charge to enter whatever has been penetrated.

Thank you John -- I find that my important messages only post to the smaller yahoogroups I am mailing to -- in addition to not sending me my messages.
Censorship is now pervasive enough to prevent real political opposition from developing (and jumping from cyberspace to real-life political space)
It is a real psychological shock to be cut off from the community of the internet by censorship -- I think if it ever hits harder that most of us will be in shock and totally useless to resist in any way.

When you are a member of an egroup,
you can watch the censorship happen before your very own eyes.
HERE IS What is SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN:
You send a message to the group, and you get your own message back,
because you are one of the members of the group.
HERE IS what SOMETIMES DOES HAPPEN:
I sent a message to the group, and did NOT get that message back.
I checked to see if it was a moderated group,
and the message HAD not yet been approved.
Sometimes I sent a test message, and the test message was delivered.
Then I found that the censored message had been marked as "spam",
and put into the "spam" folder.
Interestingly enough, every message which
triggered this "glitch" once ; almost always triggered this "glitch" every time that it is sent. Even a REPLY to such a message will trigger the CAPCHA censorship window UNLESS the censored message is trimmed out.
ALMOST ALL of these messages were critical of something that the Department of Homeland Security had done.
Now what about the strange problems in just getting the message OUT?
FIRST I sent a message ANNOUNCING that the censored message was

THEN I sent the censored message.
I got LOTS of emails back from people;
who got the announcement,

There are pictures of the hole before the words "punch out" were pained on the wall.
Yes, the fire was out before the collapse. Other fires from other causes burned through the night. Perhaps burning incriminating files of the Office of Naval Intelligence -- the attacks probable target.
Finding an intact radome never did make sense.
Webfairy (Rosalee Grable) is a closet Zionist disinformation operative. I've seen her in action over the years.

Despite the grief that I've got from you [possibly because I'm over at the WF group] you are the only researcher who has got a tangible theory of the Pentagon attack. There is only one witness who reports seeing the damage being caused to the C-ring wall. That is the guy who reported seeing something that was the size of craft that held a dozen passengers. In other words it was a small craft. You know and I know there was still fire at the Pentagon that went on into the night which was going on in side the Pentagon. If Delfini was the first on the scene and put the fire out that was raging at the front of building within minutes then what was on fire during the night?
Delfini said he saw something in the area of the C-ring. My question is was he allowed to get near the C-ring because what we, the public see arounf the C-ring is nothing.
All we see is a perfect arch with the words "Putch out" painted on the wall with a little bit of debris around the hole. "Punch out" marked on the wall make no sense at all. But what is missing is all the bricks that should be amongst the debris if the wall had been penetrated by a 757 radome [not to mention parts of the radome itself]. Anyone who knows about brick work will know why the brick work on one side of the arch is "cleaner" than the other side. It's to do with dexterity of the right or left handed person.
The simple question to be answered is if a missile went through to the C-ring [then it was not obviously the flight path of the boeing 757] and was an attempt made to make the exit hole the size of 757 radome. Anyone knows that marking a wall with the words "punch out" means that the photo was taken pre punch out. I must admit I have no explanation for this but then I have no explanation why there wasn't a 757 radome in the area of the C-ring nor why the collapsed segment of the Pentagon was so uniformally a rectangular section at 90 degrees to the wall.

The killer jet did not penetrate six concrete walls to burst out of the hole in ring-C. First, at the first floor level the Pentagon is one building at the first floor level from c to d rings (i.e., the rings are joined, there is no corridor at the first floor level), there are no walls, but only the pillars inside the building. Second, the hole in the c-ring wall may have been made by something else -- the hole being too clean and round for the exiting fuselage-engine of the killer jet. If the hole was made by an jet engine, it was the engine of a single-engine military plane, probably an F-16. (Lack of penetration to the left of pillars 14 and 15 indicate that the killer jet was not a two-engine plane.)
The Meyer also states at the end of his article that the lamp posts were torn from the ground. Actually some posts were snapped off and others broke at the bolts at the base.
Also one engine was recovered from the wreckage -- the one engine of a single-engine aircraft.
Forget the A-3 stuff -- the two-engine A-3 is much less likely than an F-16 or other jet fighter or single-engine missile platform.

A Boeing 757 did not hit the Pentagon
by Michael Meyer, Mechanical Engineer
To the members of the Scientific Panel Investigating Nine-Eleven:
I would like to give you my input as to the events on September 11, and why it is a physically provable fact that some of the damage done to the Pentagon could not have occurred from a Boeing 757 impact, and therefore the 9/11 Commission report is not complete and arguably a cover-up. I will not speculate about what may have been covered up, I will only speak from my professional opinion. But I will explain why I do not believe the Pentagon was hit by a Boeing 757.
I am a Mechanical Engineer who spent many years in Aerospace, including structural design, and in the design, and use of shaped charge explosives (like those that would be used in missile warheads).
The structural design of a large aircraft like a 757 is based around managing the structural loads of a pressurized vessel, the cabin, to near-atmospheric conditions while at the lower pressure region of cruising altitudes, and to handle the structural and aerodynamic loads of the wings, control surfaces, and the fuel load. It is made as light as possible, and is certainly not made to handle impact loads of any kind.
If a 757 were to strike a reinforced concrete wall, the energy from the speed and weight of the aircraft will be transferred, in part into the wall, and to the structural failure of the aircraft. It is not too far of an analogy as if you had an empty aluminum can, traveling at high speed hitting a reinforced concrete wall. The aluminum can would crumple (the proper engineering term is buckle) and, depending on the structural integrity of the wall, crack, crumble or fail completely. The wall failure would not be a neat little hole, as the energy of the impact would be spread throughout the wall by the reinforcing steel.
This is difficult to model accurately, as any high speed, high energy, impact of a complex structure like an aircraft, into a discontinuous wall with windows etc. is difficult. What is known is that nearly all of the energy from this event would be dissipated

We are lead to believe that not only did the 757 penetrate the outer wall, but continued on to penetrate separate internal walls
totaling 9 feet of reinforced concrete. The final breach of concrete was a nearly perfectly cut circular hole (see below) in a reinforced concrete wall, with no subsequent damage to the rest of the wall. (If we are to believe that somehow this aluminum aircraft did in fact reach this sixth final wall.)

&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt; Impossible that people inside, on this point which was flooded by debris,

&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt; the thermal insulation or a pipe deflected outside, and also the debris in
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt; the AE drive...
You insist the the explosive was in the nose of the killer jet. I say
the hole could have been made by planted charges or some
"urban-warfare" weapon. It is absurd to think that explosives would
be added to blow the second wall encountered and not the first.
The hole had an immediate purpose -- probably related to arranging
for the collapse of the front of the building.
Jean-Pierre, no trace of any passenger seat has been noted by witnesses or
photographed. Also we have the proof that 757 debris was deliberately
planted on the lawn -- which would not be done unless there had been no 757
and they wanted to make it look as though there had been one.
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt;
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt; This "punch out" = "punched to let people out" translation is a sad hoax.
Who said the hole was made to "let people out" -- this too is absurd.
NO ONE HAS SAID THAT THE HOLE WAS PUNCHED
TO LET PEOPLE OUT.
In my opinion, if the hole was not made by the killer jet itself, than it
was made in order to introduce the explosive material that caused
the collapse.

Democracy Versus Freedom
by Jarret B. Wollstein
Democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and conflict; have ever been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property; and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths.
~James Madison, fourth president of the United States
and primary Framer of the U.S. Constitution
Politicians and major media constantly tell us that oppressed peoples crave “democracy,” and that only a democratic world will be free and peaceful. Now President Bush has launched a campaign to bring “freedom and democracy” to the world.
But are freedom and democracy the same thing? And will democracy imposed by force guarantee peace?
Democracy, collectivism, and individualism
Consider the meanings of three key political concepts:
1.. Democracy: that form of government in which sovereign power resides in the people as a whole, and is exercised either directly by them or by officers elected by them.
2.. Collectivism: a politico-economic system in which the means of production and the distribution of goods and services are controlled by the collective, that is, the society or state considered as a group – e.g., Nazi Germany and Communist China.
3.. Individualism: the social theory which advocates the free and independent action of the individual person, as opposed to collectivist methods of organization and state interference.
In fact, democracy is much closer to collectivism than it is to individualism. Like collectivism, democracy places essential political power with the group, rather than with the individual person – thus making everyone’s freedom subject to the passions of the mob or those with the most power.
What is democracy?
Throughout the world, democracy is as often a cover for tyranny as it is a protection for liberty. Many countries call themselves “democracies” and have regular elections, yet systematically oppress their own people.
For example, Stalinist North Korea calls itself “the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea” and communist China calls itself the “People’s Republic of China.” Like the old Soviet Union, they have regular elections, elected legislatures, and even some choice of candidates.
However, it’s all a fraud. Voting is mandatory The only party allowed to run candidates is the Communist Party. Legislatures rubber-stamp the decrees of party bosses. And anyone who objects strongly or tries to set up another party ends up dead or in a slave labor camp.
Many countries in Africa, Asia, and Latin America also now have multi-party democracies – but little freedom. Vote fraud is massive, opposition candidates are often beaten or murdered by government thugs, and a small elite controls all power. Citizens have little freedom, but lots of poverty.
What of Western democracies? Things are better, but far from free of corruption, fraud, and manipulation of voters.
Even in the United States, more and more people report their votes are not being counted. Electronic voting makes fraud easy (and nearly undetectable). Congressional districts are gerrymandered to guarantee that one party always wins. Third parties, such as the Libertarians and Greens, face virtually insurmountable obstacles, including oppressive ballot-access and campaign-finance laws. Only Republicans and Democrats are allowed in most televised political debates. And third-party election results are often not even reported by the media.
Whatever its virtues, democracy is not freedom. As the 19th-century French philosopher Alexis de Tocqueville warned in his classic Democracy in America, a democracy can be just as tyrannical as a dictatorship once the voters decide to vote themselves money from the treasury
Democracy is a method of deciding who shall rule. It does not determine the morality of the resulting government. At best, democracy means that government has popular support. But popular support is no guarantee that government will protect your freedom.
In a democracy, if most voters support freedom of speech, press, religion, association, and enterprise, their elected government will probably respect such freedoms.
But if voters prefer that governments impose a welfare state and confiscatory taxes, ban unapproved drugs, impose censorship, imprison critics, seize the property of unpopular groups, torture prisoners, and draft the young, a democratic government will probably grant those wishes also.
Conceived in liberty, not in democracy
America’s Founders were well aware of the evils of pure democracy and wisely made the United States a limited constitutional republic in which individual rights were strongly protected.
The word “democracy” does not appear either in the Declaration of Independence or in the U.S. Constitution. Instead, Article IV, Section 4 of the Constitution guarantees “to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government.”
The difference between a constitutional republic and a democracy is the difference between liberty and slavery. As Ira Glasser, former director of the American Civil Liberties Union, explains,
Even in a democracy the majority must be limited in order to guarantee individual rights and personal autonomy.
If whites have more votes than blacks, they cannot be allowed to deny blacks their constitutional rights. If men have more political power than women, that cannot permit them to deny women certain individual rights. Winning an election should not permit the victors to assemble their votes and enact laws or govern in a way that strips those who lose of their liberty.
Electoral versus substantive rights
To understand why democracy does not guarantee freedom, it is essential to distinguish between electoral and substantive rights.
Electoral rights define your ability to participate in the election of some government officials.
Electoral rights give you some say in who governs. They do not guarantee that elected officials will respect your freedom.
Substantive rights are the ability to control your own life and property. They are the core elements of freedom.
Your substantive rights include your: (1) right to life, liberty, and property; (2) freedom of speech and press; (3) right to trial by jury; (4) freedom to travel; (5) freedom of religion; (6) freedom to educate your children as you see fit; (7) right to own and run your own business; (8) right to defend yourself, including the right to own guns; and (9) right not to be spied on by government.
The Declaration of Independence expresses this vision well:
We hold these Truths to be self-evident; that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness....
Democracy is no guarantee of peace
Just as democracy is no guarantee of freedom, neither is it a guarantee of peace.
It is true that the relatively free democratic states are less likely to fight each other.
But democratically elected regimes frequently attack weak nondemocracies.
As Ivan Eland explains in The Empire Has No Clothes, “The three greatest imperial powers of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries – France, Great Britain, and the United States – were democracies.”
Indeed, in the 20th century, the United States attacked more countries than any other nation. Since the end of World War II, the United States has engaged in more than 200 armed conflicts, killing hundreds of thousands of civilians – waging wars or military actions in Korea, Vietnam, Panama, Grenada, Colombia, Haiti, Iraq, Afghanistan, Serbia, and Bosnia. In nearly all of these conflicts, there was no threat to the United States
It is clear from the history of Britain, France, Germany, and the United States, that democracy is no guarantee of peace.
Is democracy necessary for freedom?
While democracy doesn’t guarantee either freedom or peace, there are many historical examples of societies that didn’t have either elections or legislatures, but in which people’s rights were strongly protected.
Examples include the American colonies before the Revolutionary War ... the American West in the 19th century, where violence was one-tenth of what it is in large U.S. cities today .. many cantons in Switzerland today, which have little government ... and the nations of Andorra and Monaco.
In fact, for centuries much of the world had law and order without legislatures or elected rulers. Instead they had what might be called “free-market justice” provided by traveling judges adjudicating disputes, with decisions enforced by local communities and sheriffs.
This nonelectoral legal system (explained in the book, The Enterprise of Law, by Bruce L. Benson) created what is today known as “the common law” – thousands of collected decisions that provide the basis for law in America, Europe, and much of the free world.
The path to freedom and peace
Throughout the world, thugs and despots – some democratically elected, and some not – solemnly give lip-service to “democracy” and “freedom,” while doing everything in their power to destroy them.
To have a free and peaceful world, we must create societies in which the inalienable rights of the individual person are again respected, and the powers of government are strictly limited.
That means ending confiscation of property without trial, secret arrests, imprisonment without conviction, and torture of prisoners. It means abolishing sovereign-immunity laws, which exempt government agents from legal responsibility when they kidnap, steal, torture, or murder.
It means creating truly independent citizens’ grand juries with the power to investigate and indict corrupt government officials and police.
And it means ceasing government spying on its own citizens and ending foreign invasions to impose “democracy” by force.
No, democracy is not the same as liberty. All too often, building “democracy” has been used as a justification for destroying freedom.
To achieve a free and peaceful world, we must restore freedom and individual liberty, not democracy.

Subject: Fw: The most important 9-11 evidence is from the Pentagon attack Re:
Peter,
I respect your opinion, however these was not a total of 9 feet of concret penetrated by the killer jet. There were no concrete walls within the building between the entrance hole in ring-E and the exit hole (if that is what it is) in ring-C. Only one or two walls were penetrated. My own view, if you had not heard, is that a missile explosion softened up the entry. Also an F-16 was tested with full remote-control combat capability -- it was retired to the General Dynamic museum in March of 2001 -- possibly with the remote control equipment removed. Again, the missile that softened the outer wall need not have been high velocity, just enough to weaken the structure in the vacinity of the killer jet's entry. Remember too, that the Pentagon wall is not a block of solid concret as in the famous test case with the F-4 Phantom -- the killer jet hit a wall with windows, a wall softened by the explosion we see in the security cam video (with at least one witness reporting the same white flash)
Yes, I agree with the Pentagon employee's statement about the reason the hole was dynamited. The original hole was made before the words "punch out" were written on the wall (as shown in pictures) -- and so the hole itself was blasted because it was too perfect, too round, too unlike the hole a fuselage of a 757 would make. The man's statement is very valuable to any investigation -- I hope you have his name.

Hi Dick
Have you seen the footage of a jet fighter on a rocket-sled being slammed into a 10 foot thick block of concrete? If you have you'll know that the jet fighter loses, completely disintegrating, and the block of concrete remains intact. The only object that could blast its way through the total of 9 foot of steel reinforced military grade concrete to leave an almost perfectly circular hole through the inner C ring is a DU tipped Mach X cruise missile. Fighter jets are made the same way as passenger airliners. The nose cone is kevlar and houses radars, computers and control systems. It is SOFT and would simply crumple if you threw it at something hard. It is NOT designed to penetrate concrete. NO PART OF ANY AIRPLANE IS DESIGNED TO PENETRATE CONCRETE. They are designed only to fly through the air. Planes can launch missiles but I already told you, not that close to a target and especially not from a remotely piloted plane.
I think you give far too much importance to the 5 frames of video. The very fact the they were released should tell you something. They are spurious and should be treated as such. Once you restrict yourself to examining the actual damage to the Pentagon it will become a lot clearer. Those 5 frames are a poisoned well.
Finally, I had an unnamed Pentagon employee write to me because he wanted the information released but could not do that himself because of his job (presumably he doesn't want to lose it). Anyway, he said the FBI on the scene decided to blow that section of wall down with dynamite after the object struck because the impact damage did not look sufficiently like a plane.
I think possible that any and all airplane parts in that section of the Pentagon were either display models or were being examined by Naval Intelligence for some reason or other.
All the best
P.

&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt; the thermal insulation or a pipe deflected outside, and also the debris in

You insist the the explosive was in the nose of the killer jet. I say
the hole could have been made by planted charges or some
"urban-warfare" weapon. It is absurd to think that explosives would
be added to blow the second wall encountered and not the first.
The hole had an immediate purpose -- probably related to arranging
for the collapse of the front of the building.
Jean-Pierre, no trace of any passenger seat has been noted by witnesses or
photographed. Also we have the proof that 757 debris was deliberately
planted on the lawn -- which would not be done unless there had been no 757
and they wanted to make it look as though there had been one.
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt;
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt; This "punch out" = "punched to let people out" translation is a sad hoax.
Who said the hole was made to "let people out" -- this too is absurd.
NO ONE HAS SAID THAT THE HOLE WAS PUNCHED
TO LET PEOPLE OUT.
In my opinion, if the hole was not made by the killer jet itself, than it
was made in order to introduce the explosive material that caused
the collapse.

Alexander Cockburn
The uproar over the Isreal lobby
For the past few weeks a sometimes comic debate has been simmering in the
American press, focused on the question of whether there is an Israeli lobby
and, if so, just how powerful it is.
I would have thought that to ask whether there's an Israeli lobby here is a bit
like asking whether there's a Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor or a White
House located at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington, D.C. The late Steve
Smith, brother-in-law of Teddy Kennedy, and a powerful figure in the Democratic
Party for several decades, liked to tell the story of how a group of four Jewish
businessmen got together $2 million in cash and gave it to Harry Truman when he
was in desperate need of money during his presidential campaign in 1948. Truman
went on to become president and to express his gratitude to his Zionist backers.
Since those days, the Democratic Party has long been hospitable to, and
supported by, rich Zionists. In 2002, for example, Haim Saban, the
Israel-American who funds the Saban Center at the Brooking Institute and is a
big contributor to AIPAC, gave $12.3 million to the Democratic Party. In 2001,
the magazine Mother Jones listed on its website the 400 leading contributors to
the 2000 national elections. Seven of the first 10 were Jewish, as were 12 of
the top 20, and 125 of the top 250. Given this, all prudent candidates have gone
to amazing lengths to satisfy their demands.
None of this history is particularly controversial, and there have been plenty
of well-documented accounts of the activities of the Israel Lobby down the
years, from Alfred Lilienthal's 1978 study, The Zionist Connection, to former
U.S. Rep. Paul Findley's 1985 book, "They Dare To Speak Out" to "Dangerous
Liaison: The Inside Story of the U.S.-Israeli Covert Relationship," written by
my brother and sister-in-law, Andrew and Leslie Cockburn, and published in 1991.
Three years ago, Jeffrey St. Clair and I published a collection of 18 essays
called The Politics of Anti-Semitism, no less than four of which were incisive
discussions of the Israel lobby. Kathy and Bill Christison, former CIA analysts,
reviewed the matter of dual loyalty, with particular reference to the so-called
neo-cons, alternately advising an Israeli prime minister and an American
president.
Most vividly of all in our book, a congressional aide, writing pseudonymously
under the name George Sutherland, contributed a savagely funny essay called "Our
Vichy Congress." "As year chases year," Sutherland wrote, "the lobby's power to
influence Congress on any issue of importance to Israel grows inexorably
stronger . Israel's strategy of using its influence on the American political
system to turn the U.S. national security apparatus into its own personal attack
dog -- or Golem -- has alienated the United States from much of the Third World,
has worsened U.S. ties to Europe amid rancorous insinuations of anti-Semitism,
and makes the United States a hated bully."
So it can scarcely be said that there had been silence here about the Israel
Lobby until two respectable professors, John J. Mearsheimer and Stephen M. Walt,
the former from the University of Chicago and the latter from Harvard, wrote
their paper "The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy," published in longer form
by the Kennedy School at Harvard (which has since disowned it) and, after it had
been rejected by the Atlantic Monthly (which originally commissioned it), in
shorter form by the London Review of Books.
In fact, the significance of this essay rests entirely on the provenance of the
authors, from two of the premier academic institutions of the United States.
Neither of them have any tincture of radicalism. After the paper was published
in shortened form in the London Review of Books, there was a slightly stunned
silence, broken by the screams of America's most manic Zionist, Professor Alan
Dershowitz of Harvard, who did Mearsheimer and Walt the great favor of thrusting
their paper into the headlines. Dershowitz managed this by his usual volleys of
hysterical invective, investing the paper with the fearsome allure of that
famous anti-Semitic tract, a forgery of the Czarist police, entitled "The
Protocols of the Elders of Zion." The Mearsheimer-Walt essay was Nazi-like,
Dershowitz howled, a classic case of conspiracy-mongering, in which a small band
of Zionists were accused of steering the Ship of Empire onto the rocks.
In fact, the paper by Mearsheimer and Walt is extremely dull. The long version
runs to 81 pages, no less than 40 pages of which are footnotes. I settled down
to read it with eager anticipation but soon found myself looking hopefully for
the end. There's nothing in the paper that any moderately well-read student of
the topic wouldn't have known long ago, but the paper has the merit of stating
rather blandly some home truths that are somehow still regarded as too dangerous
to state publicly in respectable circles in the United States.
After Dershowitz came other vulgar outbursts, such as from Eliot Cohen in the
Washington Post. These attacks basically reiterated Dershowitz's essential t
heme: There is no such thing as the Israel lobby, and those asserting its
existence are by definition anti-Semitic.
This method of assault at least has the advantage of being funny, (a) because
there obviously is a Lobby -- as noted above and (b) because Mearsheimer and
Walt aren't anti-Semites any more than 99.9 percent of others identifying the
Lobby and criticizing its role. Partly as a reaction to Dershowitz and Cohen,
the Washington Post and New York Times have now run a few pieces politely
pointing out that the Israel Lobby has indeed exercised a chilling effect on the
rational discussion of U.S. foreign policy. The tide is turning slightly.
Meanwhile, mostly on the left, there has been an altogether different debate,
over the actual weight of the Lobby in the deliberations of those running the
American Empire. This debate was rather amusingly summed up by the Israeli
writer Yuri Avneri, a former Knesset member:
"I think that both sides are right (and hope to be right, myself, too). The
findings of the two professors are right to the last detail. Every senator and
congressman knows that criticizing the Israeli government is political suicide.
. If the Israeli government wanted a law tomorrow annulling the Ten
Commandments, 95 U.S. senators (at least) would sign the bill forthwith .
"The question, therefore, is not whether the two professors are right in their
findings. The question is what conclusions can be drawn from them. Let's take
the Iraq affair. Who is the dog? Who the tail? . The lesson of the Iraq affair
is that the American-Israeli connection is strongest when it seems that American
interests and Israeli interests are one (irrespective of whether that is really
the case in the long run). The United States uses Israel to dominate the Middle
East, Israel uses the United States to dominate Palestine."

EC-135N surveillance jet near Walkersville, Maryland, just a few miles north
northeast of Frederick and about 50 miles north northwest of Washington, DC.
Within a few days of this crash, I heard a rumor within the financial community
in Los Angeles that Zionists had sabotaged the jet in a display of Talmudic
pique over the Reagan administration's proposed arms package for Saudi Arabia
which included five AWACS jets.
You see, the EC-135N was really an AWACS jet, except that the satellite dish was
housed in a protruding nose section rather than in the more familiar disk
structure on top of the fuselage of an AWACS. (For photos of the EC-135N, see
www.flyaria.com)
When this EC-135N went down, a heated debate on the Saudi arms package was
already in its third week. But very few in Congress could liken an EC-135N to an
AWACS and those who knew these jets were virtually the same were not telling the
public. Hysterical, outrageous statements echoed under the Capitol dome and on
the airwaves and in the print media. This gem from ever-smiling Senator Joseph
Biden is a good example: "Such jets in the hands of the Saudis would let them
strip Israel's most secret defenses totally naked." Yeah! And I have a name
brand for my line of swimwear: Push the Jews into the Sea!
Though Reagan prevailed with the Saudi arms package, the political trade-off,
viewed in retrospect, has severely damaged the leadership role of the USA as a
solemnly-pledged sovereign equal among sovereign equals at the United Nations.
With the rise of yet another silly Stanford Soviet expert, the official position
of the USA that Zionist settlements in occupied Arab territories were "illegal"
morphed into an ambiguous, more Zionist-friendly catchphrase "obstacles to
peace." Dennis Ross continued under George H. W. Bush and then William Jefferson
Clinton to undermine United Nations Security Council resolution 242 at the State
Department. In so doing, Ross also undermined the Constitution of the United
States, which holds that "all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the
Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land." For a
citizen of the USA, disrespect for United Nations Security Council resolution
242 and the Charter of the United Nations is tantamount to disrespect for the
Constitution of the USA!
The recent treatment of the Zionist lobby by professors Stephen Walt and John
Mearsheimer barely scratches the surface when you consider this statement by
former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the late Admiral Thomas H. Moorer,
made on 24 August 1983: "I've never seen a president - I don't care who he is -
stand up to them. It just boggles the mind. They always get what they want. The
Israelis know what is going on all the time. I got to the point where I wasn't
writing anything down. If the American people understood what a grip these
people have got on our government, they would rise up in arms. Our citizens
certainly don't have any idea what goes on." When a veteran of the stature of
Admiral Moorer says "rise up in arms" you have to know that he really smelled
trouble!
Well, Reagan prevailed in his Saudi arms deal and a "Star of David" asterisk was
put on our constitutionally-mandated treaty obligations and Reagan was reelected
in 1984 by the greatest margin in the history of presidential elections. Thus
the foundation for two more decades of strife in the Middle East had been laid.
And the EC-135N crash quickly disappeared into the mists of history. Nobody ever
really talked about it. My copy of the Air Force disaster report on the EC-135N,
written by then-Brigadier General Robert E. Chapman, went into deep storage.
Perhaps because of my request for the US Air Force report on the EC-135N
disaster, or perhaps because of my advocacy of the just cause of the survivors
of the June 1967 Zionist attack on the USS Liberty, or perhaps because of both
activities, I came under surveillance and grew more and more aware of the police
state tactics employed by our Zionist buddies. This was 20 years before 9/11 and
the subsequent erosion of our civil liberties.
News of the 31 October 1999 Egypt Air flight 990 crash at sea caused me to
refresh my memory of the EC-135N crash, and within days after rereading General
Chapman's report, I was faxing an article to the international community here in
New York City in which I noted similarities in the two air disasters.
Both Boeing jets were flying on autopilot at cruising altitude when, without any
warning whatsoever, they suddenly and mysteriously went into unrecoverable
nose-dives that nearly reached the speed of sound. Both jets broke apart near
the end of their long falls.
Unlike the Egypt Air 767, the EC-135N, a military version of the Boeing 707, had
no black box. But examination of the fully recovered debris revealed the pitch
trim setting in the full nose-down position. Moreover, investigators confirmed
eyewitness reports of an unexplained explosion just after the jet broke through
a 2000 feet cloud cover. They determined that this explosion took place inside
the pressurized compartment of the fuselage. They also concluded that even if
there had been no explosion, the EC-135N was already doomed in an unrecoverable
plunge. Again, unlike the official story of the Egypt Air disaster, there were
no allegations of suicide.
Perhaps the most intriguing of all the evidence pertaining to the demise of the
EC-135N, as noted in the Chapman report, were the incomplete transponder beacon
return signals recorded at the Martinsburg, West Virginia air traffic control
center just seconds before the jet began its plunge. This, I pointed out in my
fax broadcast, suggested electro-magnetic wave interference, or sabotage by
remote control of the aircraft. I suggested that Egypt Air flight 990 may have
met the same fate.
But the most significant evidence pertaining to the destruction of both jets
addresses the question of motive. Who benefits? Both air disasters served the
national security interests of the Zionist state. The destruction of the EC-135N
was a shot across the bow to those who would even think to sell AWACS jets to
Saudi Arabia. And the Egypt Air jet carried 33 high-ranking Egyptian military
officers, many of them generals.
In my fax broadcast, I noted Egypt's heavy loss of military officers aboard
Egypt Air flight 990. I further noted that many of them had just participated in
US sponsored armaments programs here in the USA. Then I cited from the right
wing Zionist weekly newspaper published in Brooklyn, New York, the Jewish Press,
a statement by then-Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Director of
Communications, David Bar Ilan, that these US sponsored armaments programs for
Egyptian military officers constituted a "dire threat to the state of Israel."
Within about 24 hours of my broadcast fax's arrival at the Israeli Mission to
the UN, the New York City tabloids, so careful to have omitted Bar Ilan's
crucial statement about the armaments programs being a dire threat in their
sensationalist and lurid coverage of the Egypt Air disaster, reported that he
had just had a heart attack. It was his first. A second one not long after
proved fatal.
Sensing I had indeed hit a nerve, and that I was on the right track, I sent
another fax broadcast on 31 January 2000. Noting my statements that the crashes
of both jets, the US Air Force EC-135N and Egypt Air flight 990, not only
touched on the national security interests of the Zionist state, but were also
quite rare events in and of themselves, I was dismayed, but not surprised, to
hear of the downing of an Alaska Airways jet off point Mugu on the coast of
California even as I was sending this repeat fax broadcast. In my imagination, I
felt as though somebody was telling me: "We make the facts. Here is an example
of a jet suddenly and unexpectedly having fatal problems with its pitch-trim
setting, and there is absolutely no connection to the national security
interests of the Zionist state. You need to amend your article that you are now
faxing." At the very least, this was a strange coincidence indeed!
Unlike the Egypt Air 767, the EC-135N did not have a voice recorder on board.
The last radio communication from the pilot was routine. But not until the
official story of 9/11 began to unravel did I begin to fathom the significance
of the cockpit voices from Egypt Air 990. They were fake! These voices were the
result of the technological wonder called voice morphing in which the sound of
anybody's voice can be duplicated in real time. If the full range of the
subject's voice has been recorded, which usually can happen in a 10 minute phone
conversation, and then fed into the computer software, anybody speaking the
subject's language can very convincingly sound like the subject person on the
phone to his or her family, friends, coworkers, etc. etc.. In practical terms,
problems with voice morphing will arise when gaps in the impersonator's
knowledge become apparent to his or her interlocutor.
Despite what Universal Studios will have you believe, the alleged phone calls
from the flights of 9/11 were all fake too. They were all the "product" of voice
morphing technology. Cockpit voice recorders do not pick up sound in the
passenger cabin, unless of course you are watching a Zionist propaganda movie.
But voice morphing technology can turn a cockpit in real life into a sound stage
very much akin to what the people in Hollywood use. With the right access,
budget, time and "work-up," your bowl of jelly beans can sound like a familiar
voice from the past.
A Canadian professor of mathematics, Kee Dewdney, after conducting experiments
that proved the utter impossibility of cell phone calls from airborne jets, gave
a practical criticism of the transcripts of the alleged 9/11 cell and air phone
conversations which is reminiscent of the great literary critic I. A. Richards.
Dewdney found that the conspirators betray themselves with their own words and
behaviors and left the overall impression that they would be poor candidates
indeed for an opening for scriptwriter at the Aaron Spelling studios in
Hollywood.
Families, friends, and colleagues of the 21 killed aboard the EC-135N on 6 May
1981 are holding a private reunion on the 25th anniversary of the crash later
this week. A memorial was established at the National Museum of the Air Force in
Fairborn, Ohio, and another one is planned for the crash site with the kind
cooperation and support of the good folks of Walkersville, Maryland, among
others.
In the best tradition of our military, these men and women are tightlipped about
the missions that they have carried out in the interests of our national
security. And, as the late Admiral Moorer once told me, the military is not a
democracy, but rather an organization that supports a democracy. Hence, the
responsibility lies with the citizens of this nation, if not their elected
representatives, to probe in areas where people in the military are not
accustomed to go when there are compelling reasons to do so.
I have been in e-mail contact with two family members of two of the victims
aboard the ill-fated EC-135N and I know that they are wondering about the
circumstances of the jet's crash. One of them made me aware of an explanation to
the effect that the presence of authorized civilians aboard the jet caused a
breakdown in military discipline, which resulted in the crash. Indeed, the wife
of one of the pilots was in the left pilot's seat, and her husband occupied the
right co-pilot's seat. This arrangement, part of a program whereby spouses of
military personnel would periodically visit with them while on duty, certainly
cannot explain anomalous transponder beacon signals, or a mysterious move from
cruising on autopilot to full nose down attitude, or an unexplained explosion
within the pressurized cabin of the fuselage.
It is finally time to admit that there has been a cover-up of the true
circumstances of the downing of this US Air Force EC-135N and that there exists
very strong prima facie evidence of a terrorist act of mass murder, which, in
retrospect, appears to be part of a pattern of behavior associated with the
national security interests of the Zionist state. This pattern of behavior
reaches all the way to 9/11, which achieved the Zionist Neo-Conservative goal of
putting American muscle on Mesopotamian patrol.
Americans need to suspend their games and other entertainments and engage
themselves in a national day of reckoning about what really happened on 9/11.
When Americans can see actors and actresses portraying the alleged hijackers and
other passengers on United Airlines Flight 93, but cannot view any surveillance
videotape from any of the "Category X" high security international airports from
which the flights of 9/11 departed, one can only conclude that there is
something radically wrong. There is a Praxis of Evil in our midst. A fungus
among us.
The Scholars for 9/11 Truth (www.ST911.org) and the Scientific Panel
Investigating 9/11 (www.physics911.net), among others, have proved beyond any
reasonable doubt that the 9/11 Commission Report is part of a cover-up of what
really happened on 9/11. Indeed, all the lies that we have been told about
weapons of mass destruction in Iraq - and they were very big lies - are but
little ones when compared with the BIG LIE about 9/11.
The 9/11 Commissioners ignored indications of remote control piloting of the
jets of 9/11 brought forward by retired Army Colonel Donn de Grand Pre (among
others), who had convened within days of 9/11 a meeting of military, commercial
and civilian aviators and experts. Their conclusions, which De Grand Pre
reported to the highest levels of the Pentagon, were that the jets of 9/11 could
not possibly have been flown the way they were flown by Arab flight students and
that the best explanation for these flights was that they were flown by remote
control during the peak activities of multiple NORAD drills.
The common thread linking the EC-135N disaster with the Egypt Air Flight 990
disaster and the attacks of 9/11 is the technology of remote control of aerial
vehicles. Chief among those comprising the small universe of people conversant
with this technology is Rabbi Dov Zakheim, who left his post at System Planning
Corporation after President George W. Bush appointed him Undersecretary of
Defense and Comptroller of the Pentagon in the months leading up to 9/11. In
September of 2000, exactly a year before 9/11 and two months before the
presidential election that brought George W. Bush into the White House, Zakheim
had signed a controversial paper, published by the Project for the New American
Century, which suggested that "a new Pearl Harbor" type of event would greatly
facilitate implementation of the recommendations in this paper. Hence, it can be
fairly said that the motive and the means and the opportunity to pull off an
event like 9/11 converged between the ears of Rabbi Dov Zakheim.
There is an urgent need to reopen the investigations of the EC-135N disaster,
the Egypt Air Flight 990 disaster and the attacks of 9/11. These investigations
must take into account the Talmudic law of the Moser, which, like the Mafioso
code of omerta, prohibits a Jew from informing upon another Jew to a non-Jew, a
practice that is not only diametrically opposed to the adversarial process of
our legal and judicial systems, but also to the proper functioning of our
intelligence and law enforcement communities.
Battle lines must be drawn. This Praxis of Evil, or fungus among us, cannot be
allowed to co-opt our public officials any more. Already the party of Sodom and
Gomorrah and Tel Aviv is hinting at a Hillary Clinton - John Murtha ticket for
the up-coming presidential election in 2008. Murtha's congressional district in
Pennsylvania is where United Airlines Flight 93 left an 8 mile wide debris field
after being shot down with two Sidewinder missiles. It is apparent that Murtha
is being rewarded for not challenging the absurd, official story of what
happened to flight 93.
Murtha has made a pretense of challenging the 9/11 Commission Report with his
"Able Danger" revelations. But let it not be forgotten that no matter what the
alleged hijackers said or did in the months and years leading up to 9/11, there
is no proof that they were at any of the airports, let alone on the flights of
9/11. (Again, where are the routine video surveillance tapes showing them
there?) Even Lee Harvey Oswald showed suspicious behavior well before Jack Ruby
shot him on 24 November 1963 in Dallas. And I don't mean running home to get his
handgun after the JFK assassination. While in Moscow even as JFK took the oath
of office, Oswald was supposedly buying pick-up trucks for anti-Castro groups in
New Orleans. One suspects that if you were in the active files of both J. Edgar
Hoover and James Jesus Angleton back in those days, you could be in two places
at once in more ways than one!
Murtha's failure to be honest and open about the locally-reported 8 mile wide
debris field extending west from New Baltimore in his own congressional district
makes him at the very least an accessory after the fact with respect to the
attacks of 9/11. When you consider that he is in the opposition party trying to
bring down the Party of God's Wrath We Deliver from Dimona, the future of the
United States does not look very bright. I suppose that all of Asia can hardly
wait to breath in the radioactive fallout from an attack on Iran. What goes
around comes around. Isn't that so?

The gospel according to John
Shmuel Rosner, Haaretz, 6 May 2006
http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/712636.html
[note by Rowan : obviously, this is intended to replace AIPAC in the lobbying
spotlight, to lower the Jews' profile, as discussed previously]
SAN ANTONIO, Texas - In the courtyard of Pastor John Hagee's church, there is a
wall of hewn stones on which is inscribed the well-known verse from Psalms:
"Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee" (122:6). On
a warm cloudy day in the short spring that precedes the Texan summer of
scorching, oppressive heat, Hagee affectionately caresses his wall, its cool
stones, which he imported specially from Jerusalem, and the white slips of paper
that members of his congregation have inserted in its cracks, slips bearing
prayers and special requests.
He prays for the peace of Jerusalem, he tells me, because he knows Israel's
citizens are tired of war. Millions of people will join him in his prayers: the
18,000 members of his Cornerstone Church in suburban San Antonio and the
millions who have read his 10 books or have been exposed to his sermons and
messages through his radio and television stations and publishing house. No
matter what you may think of John Hagee, one salient fact cannot be denied: He
has a large following. Through his speeches, religious faith and organizational
skills, which should not be underestimated, he has created a magnificent
evangelical industry and he has plans for further expansion.
Hagee is now working to help Israel's Jews. His new project, on which he will
spend many hours and many days, has one goal: mobilization of American support
for Israel. Support without any restrictions, conditions, qualifications or
apologies. He is harnessing all his powers for this project and, on July 18, he
intends to go to Washington with the team of activists his assistant Steve
Sorensen, whose office is located next door to the church, is presently
gathering to serve as regional, state and municipal coordinators. Each district
in America will have its own coordinator who will recruit activists, supervise
activities, maintain contact with elected officials and, wherever necessary,
remind them of the first rule of politics: If you want to be elected, you must
obey the will of the people.
All those who have written about his new organization, Christians United for
Israel (CUFI), have compared it to the pro-Israel lobby in the United States,
the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), and the two bodies are
similar. CUFI is based on a simple assumption, rooted in the reality of American
politics: Elected officials never stop campaigning and so are in need of a
constant flow of activists, cash and local support. The support will be provided
by those few individuals willing to invest their time and energy, the money by
affluent citizens who use their wealth to influence causes dear to their heart.
The millions upon millions of evangelical Christians who support Israel are
diligent, enthusiastic and full of faith in their beliefs and they are a force
that must be reckoned with. That is why elected officials will pay close
attention to what he says and what they will hear will be incredibly simple:
Vote for Israel, support Israel.
Hagee has set for himself several goals. By July he wants to complete work on
his organization's skeleton - through the election of branch heads - and he has
made much progress. These are the people who will be coming to Washington and
who will meet, individually, with the elected officials they have been assigned
to. His 50-state rapid-response network, which will send faxes and e-mails and
bombard with telephone calls, is quickly growing and taking shape. Once a year
in every major American city, an entire evening will be organized, devoted to
helping Israel. An evening of support. And what does Hagee expect in return for
this support? Absolutely nothing, he replies. Many people - Jews and Israelis
alike - may suspect his motives but Hagee says this does not deter him and
certainly does not anger him. After two millennia of persecution under the
Church's aegis, Christian anti-Semitism is the basis for nearly all the Jews'
suffering, Hagee argues, and many generations of authentic Christian friendship
will be necessary to build up trust. He is a very patient individual, he points
out, and he intends to support Israel even if he encounters a high wall of
distrust. What he is doing, he explains, is not for the purpose of gaining
approval from Israelis or Americans. He is acting because he believes he is
acting out God's will.
Laughs with Sharon
God, Hagee is firmly convinced, has never abandoned Israel. Thus, in response to
all those who suspect that what he really intends to do is to convert the Jews
to Christianity, he quotes verses from the New Testament, such as Romans 11:1,
"I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid," or Rom. 15:27, which
has taught him that he is obligated to help the Jews - "and their debtors they
are. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things,
their duty is also to minister unto them in carnal things"...
Hagee's theology is clear and determined: He will not attempt to persuade Jews
to convert to Christianity; that is not his aim.
In the lobby adjacent to his office are the pictures of three individuals:
Menachem Begin, with whom he met three times; Yitzhak Rabin and Ariel Sharon,
the latter when they were both younger, he quips.
The photograph with Sharon was taken in the mid-1980s, when Sharon was in
political exile after the war in Lebanon. Hagee recalls telling Sharon at the
time that, although his situation was not all that bright, one day he would see
his status restored and he would be prime minister. Sharon laughed. Even in the
photo he is laughing. Hagee says Sharon had a wonderful sense of humor and,
apparently, a fantastic memory. When they met many years later, and he was
already prime minister, Sharon told Hagee that he remembered what he had said to
him.
In the corridor are the portrait paintings of nearly all of Israel's prime
ministers: Rabin, Golda Meir, Yitzhak Shamir, Benjamin Netanyahu, Sharon, Begin,
Shimon Peres, even David Ben-Gurion. However, the only one who was allowed into
Hagee's inner office was Begin. Hagee recalls that Begin would always say that
Israel had a mandate from the Bible on the Holy Land. That is also what Hagee
believes.
What are his plans for the future? The organization Hagee is creating will
support Israel but what policies will he back precisely? What will he do if the
Israeli government decides to evacuate parts of the Holy Land that were promised
to the Jews? Hagee has a ready answer for that question and it is clear he
chooses his words carefully to avoid falling into any traps. He replies that the
land belongs to the Jews and, although he would prefer that they not give it to
anyone else, he concedes that, if they choose to do so, they are free to make
such a decision.
But what would his Christian lobby do in such a case? How would it react? Hagee
has a prepared response to that question as well. No, he would not help advance
decisions that would speed up an evacuation, yet he would not stand in their
way. In any event, he would never dream of actively opposing the Israeli
government. He cites the example of an Israeli hospital that began performing
abortions. What did Hagee do? He simply transferred his support to another
institution. That is how he will act if settlements and territories are
evacuated. He can always help orphanages, hospitals and needy communities in
Israel. He will find the right worthy cause and his support for Israel will
continue. Apparently, Hagee has found a formula that one would be hard pressed
to argue against.
Jerusalem countdown
Like many others, Hagee is very concerned about the Iranian threat. On one of
the bookshelves in his office is his book, "Jerusalem Countdown," whose subject
is this threat. It can be purchased in paperback, often at a discount, for about
15 dollars. He feels Israel is facing a great danger and he believes Iranian
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad must be taken seriously - not just by Israel, but
by the entire world. In the same breath, he points out how tiny Israel is: 28
Israels could fit into Texas. And Texas is only one of the 50 states in America.
He wrote his book after a visit by a friend from Israel who insisted a year ago
that he must warn the world of the growing danger. Since that time, he says,
that danger has only grown. Talks or negotiations will not produce a solution
capable of reducing the danger.
Hagee is convinced Ahmadinejad will never allow any diplomatic pressure to budge
him. Iran, says Hagee, does not respect the United Nations and the Iranian
president considers himself another messiah. According to Hagee, Ahmadinejad
will never agree to participate in a rational dialogue because he wants to bring
about Islam's globalization. Hagee is convinced about something else as well: If
Ahmadinejad achieves nuclear capability, he will use it against both Israel and
the United States.
And so, it is not too hard to guess what solution Hagee would prefer. He hopes
the U.S. will join Israel in the demolition of Iran's nuclear facilities.
Afterwards, he says, there will be a need for land-based operations to ensure
Iran's dangerous regime is replaced. Would this not be a dangerous operation?
Hagee chuckles: An Iran with nuclear capability is a far more dangerous
proposition.
And what about Hamas? He asks how it is at all possible to live with people who
want to kill you. He turns around toward the large library behind him and takes
a Bible off the shelf. He quickly finds the passage he wants. It is from
Deuteronomy: "When thou comest nigh unto a city to fight against it, then
proclaim peace unto it... And if it will make no peace with thee, but will make
war against thee, then thou shalt besiege it: And ... thou shalt smite every
male thereof with the edge of the sword" (Deut. 20:10-13).
He tells me that he grew up on the Bible. This, he says, is his moral compass
and, basing himself on the Bible, he believes something must be done.
Fifty-eight years ago he was sitting in the kitchen with his father when it was
announced over the radio that the State of Israel had been created. He recalls
that he had tears in his eyes. His father announced this was the most important
event of the 20th century and he believed his father's words were absolutely
right.
My own father used to say there were two ways of doing things: The right way, as
prescribed by the Torah, and the wrong way. Hagee believes in that principle
with all his heart. That is why he is not prepared to listen to any talk about
realistic compromises or about political necessities. Sometimes, he admits, the
right way is harder but that does not mean that one should therefore not choose
it.

Subject: Fw: Whoa? no planes on 911?/Re: Note on Colbert
Friends:
I agree with Seth. Colbert wouldn't be Colbert if he allowed any mention (in his own mind as well as in public) of 911 as a US government scam and inside job. And even if he did, in all probability few if any of the audience would have understood or been sympathetic to such a suggestion. Such is the power of mind control in 1984/2006. It's a reminder that it's our job as best we're able to spread the word and the information. David's comment reveals the need for more light on the subject.
As the reader will see, I'm among the tiny group of 911 skeptics who don't believe that any planes were used in the terror attacks and thus there were no hijackers and thus there was no US Air Force stand down. But even when I did believe that civilian airliners were involved, I could understand that jets struck the towers and about an hour later the buildings came down through controlled demolition. Why is that so hard? Also no jet was purported to hit Building 7, and it also came down through controlled demolition.
Anyway, here are some links to some of the information that changed my views on 9 /11 -- after I was convinced that it was an inside job. Gerard Holmgren's first article below has been cited as the best single article on the subject. --Ronald Bleier

Bleier: Intro to Morgan Reynolds on No planes on 911
9/11: Plane huggers vs. no planers:
An introductory note to an article by Morgan Reynolds
by Ronald Bleier
March 2006
For those still grappling with which of the three main versions of what really happened on 9/11, the U.S. government's official version, or the LIHOP or MIHOP versions,(1) you may be better advised to file this post in the appropriate place unless and until you become convinced that the U.S. government planned and executed the terror attacks of that day (MIHOP).
Advocates of MIHOP may feel that Morgan Reynolds's (2)article on the subject serves as an excellent introduction to evidence suggesting that no civilian jetliners were involved in the 9/11 terror attacks.
I suspect that many will be put off by the counterintuitive nature of the no planes theory, since "we all saw" a plane going into the South Tower on TV in real time.(3) Yes, I know, the no planes thesis may at first be hard to accept. However, once one begins looking at some of the evidence as presented by Morgan Reynolds, and before him, Gerard Holmgren (4) and Rosalee Grable (5)and others, I think many will agree that the evidence doesn't support the use of planes.
Because the no planes theory is so counterintuitive, few established 9/11 researchers are eager to take up the inquiry despite its plausibility. As an independent researcher with little at stake, it is relatively easy for me to follow the no planes evidence where it leads, especially as it begins to seem the most persuasive and the one most in conformity with Occam's Razor.
It's disturbing but not surprising that MIHOP plane huggers, like Jim Hoffman, use their often well-deserved reputations to attack advocates of the no planes thesis with harsh and sometimes ad hominem attacks. Some make no bones about suggesting that their motives are to disassociate themselves from theories that they consider likely to put off potential converts to 9/11 inquiry.
The irony is that many 9/11 researchers have in the past decried the unwillingness of proponents of the official theory to look calmly and carefully at the evidence that has already been uncovered. And yet, when it comes to the no planes theory some "establishment" researchers are similarly loath to directly address the evidence.
If you're like me, and you look forward to finding out the truth about 9/11 for its own sake and for what it tells us about the Bush administration, about the U.S. government and the media, about the world's intelligence services and security agencies, about the history of the 20th and 21st century, you'll be delighted with this brilliant article by Morgan Reynolds.
***
It's not my purpose here to summarize Morgan Reynolds's key arguments, but I can't resist highlighting one of his smoking guns that should be easy for many to visualize.
Reynolds asks the simple question: What happened to the wreckage of the two jetliners that supposedly crashed into the North and South WTC towers? There's no independent evidence on video or in still photographs, much less in evidence presented by the government, of wreckage consistent with Boeing 767s. If the jetliners flew into the Towers they should have struck some of their 47 core columns. In that case the tails and parts of their fuselages should have remained stuck outside of the buildings or fallen to the ground for all to see and photograph. Needless to say, no such evidence has ever been presented.
Under the circumstances, the government's production of Mohammed Atta's undamaged passport is ludicrous, and is as damaging to their case as is anything else.

2. Reynolds is a member of the National Center for Policy Analysis. See his bio on: http://www.ncpa.org/~ncpa/about/Morgan.html
3. Even as one writes such a phrase - "we all saw the plane crashing into the South Tower in real time," we recognize that it raises questions. For example: how did it happen that camera crews were ready to film the second plane coming into the Tower when all eyes were on the North Tower which had been struck less than 20 minutes earlier.

In response to Peter, and David
I don't agree with David. I think it's nether a diversion nor the be-all and end-all. But that's irrelevant.
THE POINT IS had Colbert thrown in 9-11 rather than giving truth movement a boost, he would have made it easier to dismiss his already "inappropriate" performance as the product of a mentally unbalanced "conspiracy theorist." Under the circumstances I think he did just enough.
I hope it will be seen by some of middle America.

&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt; Advertisement
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt; AdvertisementAS PRESIDENT George W. Bush embarks on a new effort
to
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt; shore up public support for the war in Iraq, his uncle is
collecting
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt; $US2.7 million ($A3.7 million) in cash and stock from the recent
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt; sale of a company that profited from the war.
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt;
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt; A report filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission
shows
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt; that William Bush collected nearly $US1.9 million in cash plus
stock
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt; valued at more than $US800,000 from the sale of Engineered Support
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt; Systems to DRS Technologies of New Jersey.
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt;
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt; The $US1.7 billion deal was closed on January 31. Both businesses
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt; have extensive military contracts.
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt;
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt; William Bush was a director of Engineered Support Systems Inc.
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt; Recent SEC filings show he was paid cash and DRS stock in exchange
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt; for shares and options he obtained as a director.
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt;
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt; Missouri-based ESSI experienced record growth before its purchase
by
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt; DRS through expanded US military contracts.
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt;
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt; SEC filings show there are two ongoing federal investigations of
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt; ESSI — one involving a stop order issued by the Federal Government
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt; on the ESSI contract to supply field generators.
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt;
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt; The field-generator contract was a major source of revenue, but
SEC
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt; files show ESSI did not inform stockholders of the stop order
until
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt; last June, about seven months after it was issued. During the
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt; interim, several ESSI executives, including William Bush, cashed
in
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt; stock and stock options worth millions of dollars, SEC filings
show.

Subject: [911TruthAction] Fw: The most important 9-11 evidence is from the
Pentagon attack Re: A Boeing 757 did not hit the Pentagon
Peter,
I respect your opinion, however these was not a total of 9 feet of concret
penetrated by the killer jet. There were no concrete walls within the
building between the entrance hole in ring-E and the exit hole (if that is
what it is) in ring-C. Only one or two walls were penetrated. My own view,
if you had not heard, is that a missile explosion softened up the entry.
Also an F-16 was tested with full remote-control combat capability -- it was
retired to the General Dynamic museum in March of 2001 -- possibly with the
remote control equipment removed. Again, the missile that softened the
outer wall need not have been high velocity, just enough to weaken the
structure in the vacinity of the killer jet's entry. Remember too, that the
Pentagon wall is not a block of solid concret as in the famous test case
with the F-4 Phantom -- the killer jet hit a wall with windows, a wall
softened by the explosion we see in the security cam video (with at least
one witness reporting the same white flash)
Yes, I agree with the Pentagon employee's statement about the reason the
hole was dynamited. The original hole was made before the words "punch out"
were written on the wall (as shown in pictures) -- and so the hole itself
was blasted because it was too perfect, too round, too unlike the hole a
fuselage of a 757 would make. The man's statement is very valuable to any
investigation -- I hope you have his name.

Re: A Boeing 757 did not hit the Pentagon
Hi Dick
Have you seen the footage of a jet fighter on a rocket-sled being slammed
into a 10 foot thick block of concrete? If you have you'll know that the jet
fighter loses, completely disintegrating, and the block of concrete remains
intact. The only object that could blast its way through the total of 9 foot
of steel reinforced military grade concrete to leave an almost perfectly
circular hole through the inner C ring is a DU tipped Mach X cruise missile.
Fighter jets are made the same way as passenger airliners. The nose cone is
kevlar and houses radars, computers and control systems. It is SOFT and
would simply crumple if you threw it at something hard. It is NOT designed
to penetrate concrete. NO PART OF ANY AIRPLANE IS DESIGNED TO PENETRATE
CONCRETE. They are designed only to fly through the air. Planes can launch
missiles but I already told you, not that close to a target and especially
not from a remotely piloted plane.
I think you give far too much importance to the 5 frames of video. The very
fact the they were released should tell you something. They are spurious and
should be treated as such. Once you restrict yourself to examining the
actual damage to the Pentagon it will become a lot clearer. Those 5 frames
are a poisoned well.
Finally, I had an unnamed Pentagon employee write to me because he wanted
the information released but could not do that himself because of his job
(presumably he doesn't want to lose it). Anyway, he said the FBI on the
scene decided to blow that section of wall down with dynamite after the
object struck because the impact damage did not look sufficiently like a
plane.
I think possible that any and all airplane parts in that section of the
Pentagon were either display models or were being examined by Naval
Intelligence for some reason or other.
All the best
P.

&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt; Impossible that people inside, on this point which was flooded by debris,
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt; could do this hole. &~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt;From outside, also impossible : see pictures showing
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt; the thermal insulation or a pipe deflected outside, and also the debris in
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt; the AE drive...
You insist the the explosive was in the nose of the killer jet. I say
the hole could have been made by planted charges or some
"urban-warfare" weapon. It is absurd to think that explosives would
be added to blow the second wall encountered and not the first.
The hole had an immediate purpose -- probably related to arranging
for the collapse of the front of the building.
Jean-Pierre, no trace of any passenger seat has been noted by witnesses or
photographed. Also we have the proof that 757 debris was deliberately
planted on the lawn -- which would not be done unless there had been no 757
and they wanted to make it look as though there had been one.
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt;
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt; This "punch out" = "punched to let people out" translation is a sad hoax.
Who said the hole was made to "let people out" -- this too is absurd.
NO ONE HAS SAID THAT THE HOLE WAS PUNCHED
TO LET PEOPLE OUT.
In my opinion, if the hole was not made by the killer jet itself, than it
was made in order to introduce the explosive material that caused
the collapse.
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt;
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt; At 22:13 06/05/2006 +0100, you wrote:
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt; &~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt;Dick, I thought the photo evidence showed a clear pathway throught the
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt; &~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt;various rings at an angle of 50 degrees. If the C-ring hole was a escape
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt; &~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt;route for those elite naval intel guys then what was out there around the
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt; &~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt;C-ring looked like a human exit hole more than a radome exit hole.
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt; &~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt;
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt; &~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt;There is someone who could explain the reason for the marking "punch out"
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt; &~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt;but has never done so. I wish he would. In fact, it is about time he did.
Again, after entering the building the only substantial barriers between the
killer jet and the C-wall in question were the pillars at the ground floor
level.
The 9-11 plan did not allow for the naval intelligence personnel to
escape --
the idea was to kill them because they were not controlled by the Zionist
cabal.
The killer jet entered at an oblique angle. It's fuselage and engine
continued
until stopped by either the pillars or by the C-ring wall. The C-ring wall
hole
may or may not have been made by a solitary engine as reported. If the
C-ring
hole was made after the killer jet struck, then the purpose was to arrange
for
the collapse of the structure to hide the too-small not-fitting-a-Boeing
entry hole.
The hole was made before the words "punch out" were written -- as photos
make obvious. Possibly the instructions are to enlarge the hole -- to punch
out
the boarder of the hole to conceal its too-perfect roundness etc.
What convinced me that 9-11 was a false-flag inside-job.

&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt; AdvertisementAS PRESIDENT George W. Bush embarks on a new effort
to
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt; shore up public support for the war in Iraq, his uncle is
collecting
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt; $US2.7 million ($A3.7 million) in cash and stock from the recent
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt; sale of a company that profited from the war.
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt;
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt; A report filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission
shows
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt; that William Bush collected nearly $US1.9 million in cash plus
stock
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt; valued at more than $US800,000 from the sale of Engineered Support
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt; Systems to DRS Technologies of New Jersey.
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt;
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt; The $US1.7 billion deal was closed on January 31. Both businesses
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt; have extensive military contracts.
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt;
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt; William Bush was a director of Engineered Support Systems Inc.
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt; Recent SEC filings show he was paid cash and DRS stock in exchange
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt; for shares and options he obtained as a director.
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt;
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt; Missouri-based ESSI experienced record growth before its purchase
by
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt; DRS through expanded US military contracts.
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt;
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt; SEC filings show there are two ongoing federal investigations of
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt; ESSI � one involving a stop order issued by the Federal Government
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt; on the ESSI contract to supply field generators.
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt;
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt; The field-generator contract was a major source of revenue, but
SEC
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt; files show ESSI did not inform stockholders of the stop order
until
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt; last June, about seven months after it was issued. During the
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt; interim, several ESSI executives, including William Bush, cashed
in
&~~SPECIAL_REMOVE!#~~gt; stock and stock options worth millions of dollars, SEC filings
show.

9/11, American
Empire, and Christian Faith
By David Ray Griffin
May 5, 2006
911Truth.org
Note: This essay was originally delivered as a lecture at Trinity
Episcopal Church of Santa Barbara, Saturday, March 25, 2006; a DVD of
this presentation will be available at the end of May.
In this essay, I offer a Christian critique of the American empire in
light of 9/11, and of 9/11 in light of the American empire. Such a
critique, of course, presupposes a discussion of 9/11 itself,
especially the question of who was responsible for the attacks. The
official theory is that the attacks were planned and carried out
entirely by Arab Muslims. The main alternative theory is that 9/11 was
a "false flag" operation, orchestrated by forces within the US
government who made it appear to be the work of Arab Muslims.
Originally, a false flag attack was one in which the attackers,
perhaps in ships, literally showed the flag of an enemy country, so
that it would be blamed. But the expression has come to be used for any
attack made to appear to be the work of some country, party, or group
other than that to which the attackers themselves belong.
I will argue that the attacks of 9/11 were false flag attacks,
orchestrated to marshal support for a so-called war on terror against
Muslim and Arab states as the next stage in creating a global Pax
Americana, an all-inclusive empire. I will conclude this essay with its
main question: How should Christians in America respond to the
realization that we are living in an empire similar to the Roman empire
at the time of Jesus, which put him to death for resistance against it.
1. False Flag Operations
The evidence that 9/11 was a false flag operation is very strong. Many
Americans, however, reject this idea on a priori grounds, thereby
refusing even to look at the evidence. The main a priori assumption is
that America's political and military leaders simply would not commit
such a heinous act. This assumption is undermined, however, once we
know something about the history of false flag operations.
False Flag Operations by Other Countries
Far from being rare in the history of warfare, false flag operations
are very common. They have been especially popular with imperial powers
wanting to expand their empires.
In 1931, Japan, which had been exploiting Manchuria for resources,
decided to take over the whole province. To have a pretext, the
Japanese army blew up the tracks of its own railway near the Chinese
military base in Mukden, then blamed the sabotage on Chinese solders.
This "Mukden incident" occurred almost exactly 70 years prior to 9/11,
on September 18, 1931. It is, in fact, referred to by the Chinese as
"9/18."1
A year and a half later, the Nazis, less than a month after taking
power, started a fire in the German Reichstag, then blamed it on
Communists. Their proof that Communists were responsible was the
"discovery" on the site of a feeble-minded left-wing radical, who had
been brought there by the Nazis themselves.2 They then used the
Reichstag fire as a pretext to arrest thousands of Communists and
Social Democrats, shut down unfriendly newspapers, and annul civil
rights.3
That was 1933. Six years later, Hitler wanted a pretext to attack
Poland. The solution, known as "Operation Himmler," was to have Germans
dressed as Poles stage 21 raids on the Polish-German border. In some
cases, as in the raid on the Gleiwitz radio station, a dead German
convict dressed as a Pole was left at the scene. The next day, Hitler,
referring to these 21 "border incidents," presented the attack on
Poland as a defensive necessity.4
More germane to the question of 9/11, of course, is whether American
leaders would do such things.
U.S. Wars Based on False Charges of Enemy Aggression
In 1846, President James Polk, anxious to expand the American empire,
had the U.S. army build a fort on the Rio Grande, some 150 miles south
of the commonly accepted border between Texas and Mexico. After 16 US
soldiers died in a skirmish, Polk told Congress that Mexico had "shed
American blood upon the American soil." This claim was called "the
sheerest deception" by a congressman named Abraham Lincoln.5
Nevertheless, the Mexican-American war was on and in 1848, Mexico,
being out-gunned, signed a peace treaty ceding away half of its
country, including California, for a paltry sum.6
In 1898, the United States falsely accused Spain of blowing up a
battleship, the USS Maine, which President McKinley had sent,
uninvited, to Havana Harbor. This accusation, which led to the chant
"Remember the Maine, to hell with Spain," was used as a pretext to
start the Spanish-American war, through which America took control of
Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines. In the latter case, the United
States, after helping the Filipinos defeat the Spanish, went to war
against the Filipinos, claiming that they had fired on American
soldiers. A quarter of a million Filipinos died in the resulting
slaughter, which provoked the usually ironic William James to say: "God
damn the U.S. for its vile conduct in the Philippine Isles."7 Many
years later, General Arthur MacArthur admitted that American troops had
fired first to start a pre-arranged battle.8
In 1964, a false account of an incident in the Tonkin Gulf was used to
start the full-scale war in Vietnam, which brought about the deaths of
over 58,000 Americans and some two million Vietnamese.9
Of course, we might be tempted to reply, although Americans have done
such things to enemy nations ("All's fair in love and war"), they would
never deliberately kill citizens of friendly countries for political
reasons. That assumption, however, is undermined in a recent book,
NATO's Secret Armies, by Swiss historian Daniele Ganser. This book
demonstrates that during the Cold War, the United States sponsored
false flag operations in many countries of Western Europe in order to
discredit Communists and other leftists to prevent them from coming to
power through elections.10
Italy suffered a wave of deadly terrorist attacks in the 1970s,
including a massive explosion at the Bologna railway station that
killed 85 people.11 Between 1983 and '85, Belgium suffered a series of
attacks, known as the "Brabant massacres," in which hooded men opened
fire on people in shopping centers, "reduc[ing] Belgium to a state of
panic." At the time, all these attacks in Italy, Belgium, and other
countries were blamed on Communists and other leftists, often by virtue
of planted evidence.12
In the 1990s, however, it was discovered that the attacks were really
carried out by right-wing organizations that were coordinated by a
secret unit within NATO, which was guided by the CIA and the
Pentagon.13 A former member of the organization that carried out the
massacres in Belgium, which was funded by the Pentagon's Defense
Intelligence Agency, explained that the plan was to "make the
population believe that these terrorist attacks were done by the
Left."14 The former head of Italian counter-intelligence, in explaining
the motivation behind the attacks in Italy, said: "The CIA wanted to
create an Italian nationalism capable of halting what it saw as a slide
to the left." To achieve this goal, he added, it seemed that "the
Americans would do anything."15
Operation Northwoods
If Americans would do anything to achieve their political goals in
Europe, would they do similar things within America itself? Early in
1962, which was shortly after Fidel Castro had overthrown the
pro-American dictator Batista, the Joint Chiefs of Staff presented
President Kennedy with a plan, called Operation Northwoods. This plan
described "pretexts which would provide justification for US military
intervention in Cuba," partly "by developing the international image of
the Cuban government as rash and irresponsible, and as an alarming and
unpredictable threat to the peace of the Western Hemisphere." Possible
actions to create this image included a "Communist Cuban terror
campaign in the Miami area . . . and . . . Washington" and a "Remember
the Maine" incident, in which: "We could blow up a U.S. ship in
Guant�namo Bay and blame Cuba." Although President Kennedy did not
approve this plan, it had been endorsed by all the Joint Chiefs of
Staff in the Pentagon.16
2. The Probable Motive for 9/11
US political and military leaders, as these examples show, have been
fully capable of orchestrating false flag operations that would kill
innocent people, including American citizens, to achieve political
goals. The political goal during the Cold War was to prevent and
overthrow left-leaning governments. But what motive could US leaders
have had for orchestrating the attacks of 9/11, a decade after the Cold
War had ended? Actually, it was precisely the end of the Cold War that
provided the likely motive: the desire to create a global Pax
Americana.
Whereas the world during the Cold War was bipolar, the demise of the
Soviet Union created in some minds---the minds of that group known as
neoconservatives, or neocons---the prospect of a unipolar world. In
1989, Charles Krauthammer published a piece entitled "Universal
Dominion," in which he argued that America should work for "a
qualitatively new outcome---a unipolar world."17 A year later, he said
the United States, as the "unchallenged superpower," should act
unilaterally, "unashamedly laying down the rules of world order and
being prepared to enforce them."18
The most important neocon has been Dick Cheney. In 1992, the last year
of his tenure as secretary of defense, he had two of his assistants,
Paul Wolfowitz and Lewis "Scooter" Libby, write a draft of the
Pentagon's "Defense Planning Guidance," which said America's "first
objective is to prevent the re-emergence of a new rival."19 Andrew
Bacevich, who is a conservative but not a neoconservative, has called
this draft "a blueprint for permanent American global hegemony."20 An
article in Harper's calls it an early version of Cheney's "Plan . . .
to rule the world."21
During the rest of the 1990s, while the Republicans were out of White
House, the unipolar dream kept growing. In 1996, Robert Kagan said the
United States should use its military strength "to maintain a world
order which both supports and rests upon American hegemony."22
In the following year, William Kristol, the son of neocon godfather
Irving Kristol, founded a unipolarist think tank called the Project for
the New American Century, often called PNAC. Its members included
Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Libby, and many other neocons who would
become central members of the Bush administration in 2001. In September
of 2000, PNAC published a document entitled Rebuilding America's
Defenses. Reaffirming "the basic tenets" of the Cheney-Wolfowitz draft
of 1992, this document said that "America's grand strategy should aim
to preserve and extend [its present] advantageous position" and thereby
"to preserve and enhance [the] 'American peace.'"23
What would it take, according to these neocons, to preserve and enhance
the Pax Americana? Basically five things. First, control of the world's
oil. As Robert Dreyfuss, a critic of the neocons, says, "who[ever]
controls oil controls the world."24 For the neocons, this meant
bringing about regime change in several oil-rich countries, especially
Iraq. Some neocons, including Cheney and Rumsfeld, had wanted the first
President Bush to take out Saddam in 1990.25 They continued to advocate
this policy throughout the 1990s, with PNAC even writing a letter to
President Clinton in 1998, urging him to use military force to
"remov[e] Saddam's regime from power."26 After the Bush-Cheney
administration took office, attacking Iraq was the main item on its
agenda. The only real question, reports former treasury secretary Paul
O'Neill, was "finding a way to do it."27
A second necessary condition for the envisaged Pax Americana was a
transformation of the military in the light of the "revolution in
military affairs"---RMA for short---made possible by information
technology. At the center of this RMA transformation is the military
use of space.28 Although the term "missile defense" implies that this
use of space is to be purely defensive, one neocon, Lawrence Kaplan,
has candidly stated otherwise, saying: "Missile defense isn't really
meant to protect America. It's a tool for global domination."29
In any case, implementing this transformation will be very expensive,
which brings us to a third requirement: an increase in military
spending. The end of the Cold War made this requirement challenging,
because most Americans assumed that, since we no longer had to defend
the world against global Communism, we could drastically reduce
military spending, thereby having a "peace dividend" to spend on
health, education, and the environment.
A fourth neocon requirement for a Pax Americana was a modification of
the doctrine of preemptive attack. Traditionally, a country has had the
right to launch a preemptive attack against another country if an
attack from that country was imminent---too imminent to take the matter
to the UN Security Council. But neocons wanted the United States to act
to preclude threats that might arise in the more or less distant
future.30
These four developments would require a fifth thing: an event that
would make the American people ready to accept these imperialistic
policies. This point had been made in The Grand Chessboard, a 1997 book
by Zbigniew Brzezinski, who was Jimmy Carter's national security
advisor. Brzezinski is not a neocon but he shares their concern with
American primacy (as indicated by the subtitle of his book: American
Primacy and Its Geostrategic Imperatives). Portraying Central Asia,
with its vast oil reserves, as the key to world power, Brzezinski
argued that America must get control of this region. However,
Brzezinski counseled, Americans, with their democratic instincts, are
reluctant to authorize the military spending and human sacrifices
necessary for "imperial mobilization," and this reluctance "limits the
use of America's power, especially its capacity for military
intimidation."31 But this impediment could be overcome, he added, if
there were "a truly massive and widely perceived direct external
threat."32 The American people were, for example, willing to enter
World War II after "the shock effect of the Japanese attack on Pearl
Harbor."33
This same idea was suggested in PNAC's document of 2000, Rebuilding
America's Defenses. Referring to the goal of transforming the military,
it said that this "process of transformation . . . is likely to be a
long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event---like a new
Pearl Harbor."34
3. Opportunities Created by the New Pearl Harbor
When the attacks of 9/11 occurred, they were treated like a new Pearl
Harbor. President Bush reportedly wrote in his diary on that night:
"The Pearl Harbor of the 21st century took place today."35 Many
commentators, from Robert Kagan to Henry Kissinger to a writer for Time
magazine, said that America should respond to the attacks of 9/11 in
the same way it had responded to the attack on Pearl Harbor.36 Rumsfeld
said that 9/11 created "the kind of opportunities that World War II
offered, to refashion the world." President Bush and Condoleezza Rice
also spoke of 9/11 as creating opportunities.37
And it did, in fact, create opportunities to fulfill what the neocons
had considered the other necessary conditions for bringing about a Pax
Americana. With regard to oil, the Bush administration had, during the
summer of 2001, developed a plan to attack Afghanistan to replace the
Taliban with a puppet regime, thereby allowing UNOCAL to build its
proposed pipeline from the Caspian Sea and the US military to build
bases in the region.
The official story of 9/11, according to which it was carried out by
members of al-Qaeda under the direction of Osama bin Laden in
Afghanistan, provided the needed pretext for this operation. In 2004,
Rumsfeld told the 9/11 Commission that prior to 9/11, the president
could not have convinced Congress that the United States needed to
"invade Afghanistan and overthrow the Taliban." 38
9/11 also provided a necessary condition for the attack on Iraq. It did
not provide a sufficient condition. The administration still had to
wage a propaganda offensive to convince the public that Saddam was
involved in 9/11, was connected to al-Qaeda, and illegally possessed
weapons of mass destruction. But 9/11 was a necessary condition. As
neocon Kenneth Adelman has said: "At the beginning of the
administration people were talking about Iraq but it wasn't doable. . .
. That changed with September 11."39 Historian Stephen Sniegoski,
explaining why 9/11 made the attack on Iraq possible, says:
The 9/11 attacks made the American people angry and fearful. Ordinary
Americans wanted to strike back at the terrorist enemy, even though
they weren't exactly sure who that enemy was. . . . Moreover, they were
fearful of more attacks and were susceptible to the administration's
propaganda that the United States had to strike Iraq before Iraq
somehow struck the United States.40
Sniegoski's view is supported by Nicholas Lemann of the New Yorker.
Lemann says that he was told by a senior official of the Bush
administration that, in Lemann's paraphrase,
the reason September 11th appears to have been "a transformative
moment" is not so much that it revealed the existence of a threat of
which officials had previously been unaware as that it drastically
reduced the American public's usual resistance to American military
involvement overseas.41
The new Pearl Harbor also opened the way for the revolution in military
affairs. Prior to 9/11, Bacevich reports, "military transformation
appeared to be dead in the water." But the "war on terror" after 9/11
"created an opening for RMA advocates to make their case."42
9/11 also allowed for great increases in military spending, including
spending for space weapons. On the evening of 9/11 itself, Rumsfeld
held a news briefing at the Pentagon. Senator Carl Levin, the chair of
the Senate Armed Services Committee, was asked:
Senator Levin, you and other Democrats in Congress have voiced fear
that you simply don't have enough money for the large increase in
defense that the Pentagon is seeking, especially for missile defense. .
. . Does this sort of thing convince you that an emergency exists in
this country to increase defense spending?43
Congress immediately appropriated an additional $40 billion for the
Pentagon and much more later.
The new Pearl Harbor also paved the way for the new doctrine of
preemptive warfare. "The events of 9/11," observes Bacevich, "provided
the tailor-made opportunity to break free of the fetters restricting
the exercise of American power."44 Bush alluded to this new doctrine at
West Point the following June.45 It was then fully articulated in the
administration's 2002 version of the National Security Strategy. The
president's covering letter said that America will "act against . . .
emerging threats before they are fully formed."46 The document itself
said:
Given the goals of rogue states and terrorists, the United States can
no longer rely on a reactive posture as we have in the past. . . . We
cannot let our enemies strike first. . . . [T]he United States will, if
necessary, act preemptively.47
4. 9/11 as a False Flag Operation
If 9/11 provided the "tailor-made opportunity" for enunciating this new
doctrine, as Bacevich has observed, it equally provided the opportunity
to realize all the other things that Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, and
other neocons had been dreaming about during the previous decade.
Should not this fact lead us to suspect that 9/11 was not simply a
godsend? In any criminal investigation, the first question is always
cui bono�who benefits? Why should we not apply this principle to 9/11?
Let us now look at some evidence, to see if it supports the view that
9/11 was a false flag operation, orchestrated to produce precisely the
effects that it did in fact produce.
The Alleged Hijackers
The official account of 9/11, by blaming the attacks on Arab Muslims,
provided a basis for the attacks on Afghanistan and Iraq wars---not a
legal basis, but an emotional basis sufficient to marshal support from
a the American people and Congress. But there are many problems with
this official story.
For one thing, the alleged hijackers are portrayed as devout Muslims,
ready to meet their maker. Mohamed Atta, called the ringleader, is said
by the 9/11 Commission to have become very religious, even "fanatically
so."48 But some journalists found that he loved cocaine, alcohol,
gambling, pork, and lap dances. Several of the other alleged hijackers
reportedly had similar tastes.49
Also, the flight manifests that have been released for the four flights
have no Arab names on them.50
It appears, moreover, that evidence was planted. Authorities allegedly
found two of Atta's bags at the Boston airport. These bags contained
Atta's passport and his will along with various types of incriminating
evidence. But why would Atta have planned to take his will on a plane
that he planned to fly into the World Trade Center?51
The Legend of Osama bin Laden
There are also many problems in the official story about Osama bin
Laden. In June of 2001, when he was already America's "most wanted"
criminal, bin Laden reportedly spent two weeks in the American Hospital
in Dubai, where he was visited by the local CIA agent.52
Also, after 9/11, when America was supposedly trying to get bin Laden
"dead or alive," the U.S. military evidently allowed him to escape on
at least four occasions, the last one being the "battle of Tora Bora,"
which the London Telegraph labeled "a grand charade."53
Moreover, although the Bush administration promised that Secretary of
State Colin Powell would provide a white paper with proof that the
attacks had been planned by bin Laden, this paper was never produced.
And although the Taliban said that it would hand bin Laden over if the
United States presented evidence of his involvement in 9/11, the Bush
administration refused.54
Finally, although this administration claims that bin Laden admitted
responsibility for the attacks in a video allegedly found in
Afghanistan, the man in this video has darker skin, fuller cheeks, and
a broader nose than the Osama bin Laden of all the other videos. We
again seem to have planted evidence. Indeed, within the 9/11 truth
movement, this video is known as "the fake bin Laden video."55
Reasons to believe that 9/11 was a false flag operation are also
provided by various features of the attacks that could not have been
accomplished by the alleged hijackers. One of these is the destruction
of the World Trade Center.
5. The Destruction of the World Trade Center
According to the official explanation, the Twin Towers and Building 7
collapsed primarily from their fires---plus, in the case of the Twin
Towers, the impact of the airplanes. But this explanation faces several
formidable problems.
First, many people have been led to believe that the steel in these
steel-frame buildings was melted by the fires. But steel does not begin
to melt until 2800 degrees F, whereas open fires burning hydrocarbons
such as kerosene---which is what jet fuel is---can in the most ideal
circumstances rise only as high as 1700 degrees.
Second, the fires in these three buildings were not very big, very
hot, or very long-lasting, compared with fires in some steel-frame
high-rises that did not collapse. A fire in Philadelphia in 1991 burned
18 hours; a fire in Caracas in 2004 burned 17 hours. But neither of
these fires resulted in even a partial collapse.56 By contrast, the
north and south towers burned only 102 and 56 minutes, respectively,
before they collapsed. Building 7, which was not hit by a plane, had
fires on only a few floors, according to all the photographic
evidence57 and several witnesses.58
The collapse of Building 7 has been recognized as especially difficult
to explain. The FEMA report said that the most likely scenario had
"only a low probability of occurrence."59 The collapse of building 7
was not even mention in the 571 pages of The 9/11 Commission Report,
even though this collapse was, according to the official account, a
historic event: the first time a steel-frame high-rise had ever
collapsed from fire alone. The latest official report, put out by the
National Institute of Standards and Technology, has claimed that the
Twin Towers collapsed because the airplanes knocked the fire-proofing
off the steel,60 but it has yet to explain why Building 7, which was
not hit by a plane, also collapsed.
A third problem with the official account is that total collapses of
steel-frame high-rise buildings have never, either before or after
9/11, been brought about by fire alone, or fire combined with
externally produced structural damage. All such collapses have been
caused by explosives in the procedure known as "controlled demolition."
A fourth problem is that the collapses of these three buildings all
manifested many standard features of controlled demolition. I will
mention six:
1. The collapses began suddenly. Steel, if weakened by fire, would
gradually begin to sag. But if you look at videos available on the Web,
you will see that the buildings are perfectly motionless up to the
moment they begin to collapse.61
2. These huge buildings collapsed straight down, instead of toppling
over, which would have caused enormous death and destruction. This
straight-down collapse is the whole point of the type of controlled
demolition known as implosion, which only a few companies in the world
are qualified to perform.62
3. All three buildings collapsed at virtually free-fall speed, which
means that the lower floors, with all their steel and concrete, were
offering no resistance to the upper floors.
4. The collapses were total collapses, resulting in piles of rubble no
more than a few stories high. This means that the enormous steel
columns in the core of each building had to be broken into rather short
segments---which is what explosives do.
5. Fifth, great quantities of molten steel were produced, which means
that the steel had been heated up to several thousand degrees.
Witnesses during the clean-up reported, moreover, that sometimes when a
piece of steel was lifted out of the rubble, molten metal would be
dripping from the end.63
6. Dozens of people, including journalists, police officers, WTC
employees, emergency medical workers, and firefighters, reported that
explosions went off prior to and during the collapses of the north and
south towers. For example, Fire Captain Dennis Tardio said: "I hear an
explosion and I look up. It is as if the building is being imploded,
from the top floor down, one after another, boom, boom, boom."64
Firefighter Richard Banaciski said: "It seemed like on television
[when] they blow up these buildings. It seemed like it was going all
the way around like a belt, all these explosions."65
One more feature of the collapses of the Twin Towers was that
virtually everything except the steel---all the desks, computers, and
concrete---was pulverized into tiny dust particles.66
The official theory cannot explain one, let alone all, of these seven
features---at least, as physicist Steven Jones has pointed out, without
violating several basic laws of physics.67 But the theory of controlled
demolition easily explains all of them.
This evidence for controlled demolition contradicts the idea that
al-Qaeda terrorists were responsible. They could not have obtained
access to the buildings for all the hours needed to plant the
explosives. Agents of the Bush-Cheney administration, by contrast,
could have gotten such access, given the fact that Marvin Bush and Wirt
Walker III---the president's brother and cousin, respectively---were
principals of the company in charge of security for the WTC.68 Al-Qaeda
terrorists would also probably not have had the courtesy to ensure that
these huge buildings came straight down, rather than falling over onto
other buildings. They also would not have had the necessary expertise.
Another relevant fact is that evidence was destroyed. An examination
of the buildings' steel columns could have shown whether explosives had
been used to slice them. But virtually all of the steel was quickly
sold to scrap dealers, trucked away, and sent to Asia to be melted
down. It is usually a federal offense to remove anything from a crime
scene. But this removal of thousands of tons of steel, the biggest
destruction of evidence in history, was allowed by federal officials.
Evidence was also apparently planted. The passport of one of the
hijackers on Flight 11 was allegedly found in the rubble, having
survived not only the fire but also whatever caused everything in the
north tower except its steel to be pulverized into dust.69
6. The Strike on the Pentagon
The official account of the strike on the Pentagon is equally
problematic. According to this account, the Pentagon was struck by
American Airlines Flight 77, under the control of al-Qaeda hijacker
Hani Hanjour. But this claim is challenged by many facts.
First, Flight 77 allegedly, after making a U-turn in the mid-west, flew
back to Washington undetected for 40 minutes. And yet the US military,
which by then would have known that hijacked airliners were being used
as weapons, has the best radar systems in the world, one of which, it
brags, "does not miss anything occurring in North American airspace."70
Second, the aircraft, in order to hit the west wing, reportedly
executed a 270-degree downward spiral, which some pilots have said,
would have been difficult if not impossible for a Boeing 757 even with
an expert pilot. Hani Hanjour, moreover, was known as a terrible pilot,
who could not safely fly even a small plane.71
Third, terrorists brilliant enough to get through the U.S. military's
defense system would not have struck the Pentagon's west wing, for many
reasons: It had been reinforced, so the damage was less severe than a
strike anywhere else would have been. The west wing was still being
renovated, so relatively few people were there; a strike anywhere else
would have killed thousands of people, rather than 125. And the
secretary of defense and all the top brass, whom terrorists would
presumably have wanted to kill, were in the east wing. Why would an
al-Qaeda pilot have executed a very difficult maneuver to hit the west
wing when he could have simply crashed into the roof of the east wing?
Fourth, there is considerable evidence that the aircraft that struck
the Pentagon was not even a Boeing 757, which is what Flight 77 was.
For one thing, unlike the strikes on the Twin Towers, the strike on the
Pentagon did not create a detectable seismic signal.72 Also, the kind
of damage and debris that would have been produced by the impact of a
Boeing 757 were not produced by the strike on the Pentagon, according
to both photographs73 and eyewitnesses.
Former pilot Ralph Omholt, discussing the photographic evidence, writes:
There is no viable evidence of burning jet fuel. . . . The
pre-collapse Pentagon section showed no "forward-moving" damage. . . .
There was no particular physical evidence of the expected "wreckage."
There was no tail, no wings; no damage consistent with a B-757
"crash."74
CNN reporter Jamie McIntyre, reporting live from the Pentagon on 9/11,
said: "From my close-up inspection, there's no evidence of a plane
having crashed anywhere near the Pentagon."75 Karen Kwiatkowski, who at
the time was an Air Force Lieutenant Colonel working at the Pentagon,
has written:
I would think that if a 100-plus-ton aircraft . . . going several
hundred miles an hour were to hit the Pentagon, it would cause a great
deal of possibly superficial but visible damage to the . . . entire
area of impact. But I did not see this kind of damage.76
Fifth, evidence was again destroyed. Shortly after the strike,
government agents picked up debris and carried it off.77 Shortly
thereafter the entire lawn was covered with dirt and gravel, so that
any remaining forensic evidence was literally covered up.78 Finally,
the videos from security cameras on the nearby gas station and nearby
hotels, which would show what really hit the Pentagon, were immediately
confiscated by agents of the FBI, and the Department of Justice has
subsequently refused to released them.79
Evidence again appears to have been fabricated. For example, proof that
Flight 77 was hijacked and heading back towards Washington was
allegedly provided in a phone call from passenger Barbara Olson to her
husband, attorney Ted Olson. But no evidence from telephone records has
been provided to confirm that this call occurred. The only evidence
that has been submitted is the claim of Ted Olson, who works for the
Bush-Cheney administration.
These are only a few of the many reasons, which I have discussed in my
books, for concluding that 9/11 was simply one of the latest examples
of false flag terrorism.
7. How Should Christians Respond?
I come now to the main question of this essay: How should Christians
respond to this realization? The key consideration in answering this
question, I suggest, is the evidence that the attacks of 9/11 were
carried out for the sake of preserving and extending the American
empire. This means that there is a two-way relation between 9/11 and
this empire. On the one hand, understanding the ideas driving the
present phase of US empire-building enables us to understand why 9/11
occurred. On the other hand, 9/11 serves as a revelation of the nature
of the American empire---an empire that has been in the making, on a
bipartisan basis, for a long time. 9/11 reveals the nature of the
values that have underlay this empire-building project for over a
century, especially the past 60 years.
Evil Empire?
If so, then we must ask whether the term "evil," which US leaders have
used so freely to describe other nations, must be applied to our own.
There can be no doubt about the application of this term to 9/11. We
can here quote President Bush himself, who on the evening of 9/11 said:
""Thousands of lives were suddenly ended by evil, despicable acts of
terror. . . . Today, our nation saw evil, the very worst of human
nature."80 No explanation of why the attacks were despicable was
necessary. The proposition was self-evident. This proposition is even
more self-evident, of course, if the attacks were orchestrated by our
own government.
Accordingly, if we accept 9/11 as a revelation of the American
empire---of the basic values it embodies---must we not conclude that
this empire is itself evil?
This suggestion, of course, runs directly counter to our deeply
inculcated self-image, which has embodied the notion of "American
exceptionalism."81 According to this view, America is qualitatively
different from other countries, hence its empire is qualitatively
different from all prior empires. Americans in the 19th century said
that whereas other empires were self-seeking, greedy, and brutal, the
United States had an "empire of liberty," an "empire of right."82
Neoconservatives have recently revived this idea. According to Ben
Wattenberg, "The American empire is not like earlier European
imperialisms. We have sought neither wealth nor territory. Ours is an
imperium of values."83 Robert Kagan calls the United States "The
Benevolent Empire."84 Dinesh D'Souza describe America "the most
magnanimous imperial power ever."85 Max Boot says: "America isn't like
the empires of old. It does not seek to enslave other peoples and steal
their lands. It spreads freedom and opportunity."86 Charles Krauthammer
says that America's claim to being a benign power is verified by its
"track record."87
But many other commentators, who base their views on an actual
examination of this track record, have come to opposite conclusions.
Andrew Bacevich, in his book American Empire, rejects the claim "that
the promotion of peace, democracy, and human rights . . . --not the
pursuit of self-interest--[has] defined the essence of American
diplomacy." Against those who justify American interventions on the
grounds that America's foreign policy is to promote democracy, Bacevich
points out that in previous countries in which America has intervened,
"democracy [did not] flower as a result."88
Many other intellectuals have similar views. Chalmers Johnson, who like
Bacevich was once a conservative who believed that American foreign
policy aimed at promoting freedom and democracy, now describes the
United States as "a military juggernaut intent on world domination."89
A recent book by Noam Chomsky is subtitled America's Quest for Global
Dominance.90 Richard Falk has written of the Bush administration's
"global domination project," which poses the threat of "global
fascism."91
Bacevich sums up the nature of the American empire by employing the
statement, made in 1939 by the famous historian Charles Beard, that
"America is not to be Rome."92 In the 1990s, Bacevich says, most
Americans "still comforted themselves with the belief that as the sole
superpower the United States was nothing like Rome." But, he says: "The
reality that Beard feared has come to pass: like it or not, America
today is Rome."93
This comparison is helpful. To begin answering the question how those
of us who are Christians should respond to the realization that we are
living in the new Rome, we can ask how Jesus responded to the original
Rome.
Jesus and the Roman Empire
This question has been treated by New Testament historian Richard
Horsley in his book Jesus and Empire. Horsley's short answer is that
Jesus preached an "anti-imperial gospel," which called for the reign of
Caesar to be replaced by a reign of God.94
To understand why this would have been central, we need to understand
something about Rome and its occupation of Palestine.
Rome was not nice. Although Rome's rulers spoke of Pax Romana, with
one of its emperors even calling himself the "Pacifier of the World,"95
this pacification was achieved by means of Rome's overwhelming military
might, which it used ruthlessly. As a Caledonian chieftain put it, the
Romans "rob, butcher, plunder, and call it 'empire'; and where they
make desolation, they call it 'peace.'"96
By the time of Jesus, Palestine had been under Roman domination for
almost a century.97 Rome ruled through puppets�first Herod the Great,
then Herod Antipas in Galilee and Pontius Pilate in Judea--and this
rule was devastating.
Roman legions killed tens of thousands of people and enslaved many
more. One traumatic attack was the burning of Sepphoris, only a few
miles from Nazareth, near the time of Jesus' birth.98 Some 2,000 rebels
were crucified at about the same time.99
Besides killing and enslaving the Palestinians, the Romans taxed them
severely, pushing many of them permanently into debt. By the time of
Jesus, there was "a crisis of debt and dispossession that touched and
transformed the lives of nearly every peasant family in Galilee."100
Jesus' anti-imperial gospel is apparent in what we call "the Lord's
Prayer," which is a modification of the Kaddish, the Jewish prayer for
the establishment of God's kingdom. The central phrase of Jesus' prayer
was, therefore, "thy kingdom come"--an abbreviation of the Kaddish's
petition, "May God establish his kingdom in your lifetime." That Jesus
was not talking about some exclusively otherworldly realm is shown by
the next line: "thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven." Thus,
says Horsley, "God's activity was political and Jesus' preaching of
that activity was political--with obvious implications for the
'imperial situation' then prevailing in Palestine." The reign of the
Roman emperors was to be replaced by the reign of God, which would
transform "the social-economic-political substance of human
relations."101
The centrality of the economic issue is shown by two other elements in
this prayer: the petition for "our daily bread" and the idea that we
should "forgive our debtors"�an allusion to the fact that unjust and
unforgiven debt regularly forced peasants into servitude to rich
landlords (as reflected in the parable of the wicked tenants).102
That Jesus opposed Roman rule even more directly is suggested by
evidence that Jesus challenged the payment of the Temple tax and the
tribute to Rome103 and that he protested the Temple's system of
collecting money.104
That Jesus was regarded as a rebel against the empire is implied by the
very fact that he was crucified. The death penalty could be authorized
only by the Romans, and crucifixion was an exclusively Roman manner of
execution, used primarily for those regarded as challengers to Roman
authority. "That Jesus was crucified by the Roman governor," says
Horsley, "stands as a vivid symbol of his historical relationship with
the Roman imperial order."105
One dimension of the Roman imperial order that particularly offended
Jesus and his fellow Jews was Rome's claim that its empire was divinely
authorized.106 Early Christians had a very different view, as shown by
the final book of the New Testament, which portrays Rome as a dragon,
symbolizing Satan.107 For the early Christians, Horsley says,
Rome was the Beast, the Harlot, the Dragon, Babylon, the Great Satan.
They knew that Rome's empire was made possible not by divine order but
by the acquisition of vast territories through the deadly violence of
the Roman legions.108
America as the New Rome
Is Bacevich right to say that today America is Rome? One way to answer
this question is in terms of four commonly accepted features of the
Roman empire.109 First, it portrayed itself, as we have seen, as guided
by divine providence. Americans have said the same about their own
empire. In 1850, an American editor wrote: "We have a destiny to
perform, a 'manifest destiny' over . . . South America, . . . the
Chinese empire . . . and the . . . Japanese. . . . The eagle of the
republic shall poise itself over [the rest of the world] and a
successor of Washington ascend the chair of universal empire!110 The
Christmas card sent out by Dick and Lynne Cheney in 2003 asked,
rhetorically: "[I]f a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without His
notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without His aid?"111
A second feature of the Roman empire was the development and employment
of overwhelming military power. Bacevich, summing up this feature of
our own empire, says that the present aim of the U.S. military is "to
achieve something approaching omnipotence: 'Full Spectrum
Dominance.'"111
A third feature of the Roman empire was rule through puppets, such as
Herod, backed up by the empire's pervasive military presence. Some of
the most notorious US puppets have been Batista in Cuba, Somoza in
Nicaragua, Trujillo in the Dominican Republic, Papa Doc and Baby Doc
Duvalier in Haiti, Marcos in the Philippines, Diem in Vietnam, and
Suharto in Indonesia. More recently, America has installed a puppet
regime in Afghanistan and has been trying to do the same in Iraq.
A fourth feature of the Roman empire was that through its imposition
of exorbitant taxes, it impoverished the countries it dominated.
America's taxation is more indirect, being exercised through the global
economy enforced by the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund,
and the World Trade Organization. But it impoverishes just as
effectively.
An increasing number of commentators have come to speak of "global
apartheid," thereby pointing to the fact that the world as a whole
reflects the same kind of systemic inequality that characterized South
Africa under apartheid. In a 1992 book on global apartheid, Titus
Alexander said:
Three-quarters of the land [in apartheid South Africa] and all its
natural resources could only be owned by whites, a sixth of the
population. The West also has a sixth of the world's population and
commands over three-quarters of global resources. . . . [In South
Africa,] democracy for a few meant oppression for the many. So it is
for most people in the global economy. . . . Free trade and consumer
choice for a few means low incomes, long hours and a struggle for
subsistence among the many.113
The only difference between the two systems is that---as Gernot K�hler,
who coined the term, put it--"global apartheid is even more severe than
South African apartheid."114
What is the relevance of this to the nature of the American empire?
This question can be answered in three points.
First, global apartheid did not exist three centuries ago but is a
product of European colonialism.115
Second, since the end of World War II, when the United States replaced
Britain as the leader of the global capitalist economy, it has become
increasingly responsible for the state of this economy.
Third, during this period, the gap between the rich and the poor has
become much greater. As John Cobb has pointed out: "The disparity in
per capita income between the US and the undeveloped nations is
estimated as having been about thirteen to one in 1947. In 1989, . . .
the disparity had reached around sixty to one."116 According to the
Human Development Report of 2005, moreover, the situation is now still
worse, with the richest 10 percent of the world's population receiving
54 percent of the world's income and the poorest 40 percent---meaning
2.5 billion people---receiving only 5 percent of the total income.117
The poverty in which billions of God's children on this earth live has
dire consequences. Every year, starvation and other poverty-related
causes take the lives of about 18 million people, 11 million of whom
are children under the age of 5. This means that about 180 million
people are dying from poverty-related causes every decade.118
We have rightly considered the Nazi and Stalinist regimes evil, in
large part because each one was responsible for the deaths of some 60
million people. But then what term do we use for an empire that is
ultimately responsible for three times that many deaths each decade?
Part of the reason we call the Nazi and Stalinist regimes evil, of
course, is that many of their victims were killed deliberately. Do
American leaders realize what they are doing?
There is evidence that they do. For example, in 1947, George Kennan,
who was Director of the Policy Planning Staff in the U.S. State
Department, said in a "top secret" memo:
We have about 50% of the world's wealth, but only 6.3% of its
population. . . . In this situation, we cannot fail to be the object of
envy and resentment. Our real task in the coming period is to devise a
pattern of relationships which will permit us to maintain this position
of disparity without positive detriment to our national security.119
A more recent example showing that our leaders know what they are doing
is provided by a 1997 document of the US Space Command entitled "Vision
for 2020." This document, explaining why the United States needs to
dominate space so as to have "full spectrum dominance," says: "The
globalization of the world economy . . . will continue with a widening
between 'haves' and 'have-nots.'"120 In other words, as the United
States and its rich allies become still richer while the rest of the
world becomes still poorer, the United States will need to be able to
attack from space to keep the have-nots in line. In 2005, the head of
the US Space Command said that by putting weapons in space, the United
States will have the ability to destroy things "anywhere in the world.
. . in 45 minutes."121
As these parallels between Roman and American imperialism show, we can
speak of the latter as evil without even bringing 9/11 into the
picture. But the awareness that the attacks of 9/11 were carried out to
further America's global domination project, and hence increase global
apartheid, helps us, as I have suggested elsewhere, to "fully grasp the
extent to which this project is propelled by fanaticism based on a
deeply perverted value system."122 9/11 can thereby serve as a wake-up
call to Christians in America, forcing us to ask how to respond to the
realization that we are citizens of the new Rome.
Christians and the New Rome
Any attempt to answer that question would be very long. I will here
simply suggest a first step: the formation of an anti-imperial church
movement, in which the rejection of America's imperial project is
considered a necessary implication of Christian faith. Such a movement
would be analogous to the movement of "Confessing Christians" formed in
Germany in 1934, a year after the Nazis had come to power. This
movement, two leaders of which were theologians Karl Barth and Dietrich
Bonhoeffer, opposed the movement known as the "German Christians,"
which treated Hitler as a new messiah who would bring Germany the
greatness it deserved. In their famous Barmen Declaration, the
Confessing Christians said that support for National Socialism violated
basic principles of the Christian faith. One had to choose either
Christian faith or National Socialism. One could not affirm both.123
Later in the century, some Christian bodies decided that rejection of
the system of apartheid in South Africa was a necessary implication of
Christian faith. In 1977, the Lutheran World Federation declared that
although with regard to most political questions, "Christians may have
different opinions," the system of apartheid in South Africa was "so
perverted and oppressive" that it "constitute[d] a status
confessionis"�a confessional situation. The Christian faith, these
Lutherans declared, required that "churches would publicly and
unequivocally reject the existing apartheid system."124
An analogous question before churches in America today is whether the
American empire, with its imperialism and global apartheid, is "so
perverted and oppressive" that the public rejection of it should be
regarded as an implication of fidelity to God as revealed in Jesus of
Nazareth, who died on a Roman cross.

2. The question of responsibility for the Reichstag fire had long
remained controversial. But the dominant view, that the fire was set by
the Nazis themselves, was confirmed in 2001 with the publication of Der
Reichstagbrand: Wie Geschichte Gemacht Wird, by Alexander Bahar and
Wilfried Kugel (Berlin: Edition Q, 2001). This book presents ample
evidence of Nazi responsibility, including the testimony of a member of
the SA, who said that he was in the subterranean passageway that night
and saw other SA members bringing explosive liquids to the Reichstag.
Bahar and Kugel have, accordingly, substantiated the position contained
in William Shirer, The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich (New York:
Simon and Schuster, 1990), 191-93.

called a neoconservative because he (a) was never a liberal and (b) is
not Jewish. But although the term "neoconservative" originally referred
to people who had moved to the right after having been on the left, the
second- and third-generation neocons, as Gary Dorrien points out, "had
never been progressives of any kind" (Gary Dorrien, Imperial Designs:
Neoconservatism and the New Pax Americana (New York: Routledge, 2004),

significant number of prominent neocons were not Jews" (ibid., 15). As
former neocon Michael Lind says: "[N]eoconservatism is an ideology, . .

photo was taken between 3:09 and 3:16 PM, hence only a little over two
hours before Building 7 collapsed. It shows that on the north side of
the building, fires were visible only on floors 7 and 12. Therefore, if
there were more fires on the south side, which faced the Twin Towers,
they were not big enough to be seen from the north side.
58. Chief Thomas McCarthy of the FDNY said that while the firefighters
"were waiting for 7 World Trade to come down," there was "fire on three
separate floors" (Oral History of Thomas McCarthy, 10-11). Emergency
medical technician Decosta Wright said: "I think the fourth floor was
on fire. . . . [W]e were like, are you guys going to put that fire
out?" (Oral History of Decosta Wright, 11). These quotations are from
the 9/11 oral histories recorded by the New York Fire Department at the
end of 2001 but released to the public (after a court battle) only in
August 2005, at which time they were made available on a New York Times

Subject: buy PR not AD
Couple times we have had debates in the movement about the wisdom of
raising 6 digit sums to buy big ads in the NYT. I've always been against it.
Just now I ran across this:
Pay-for-Results Publicist
Nationwide media coverage -
Fast and inexpensive.
PublicityGuaranteed.com
You only pay for getting an article in the paper - hopefully this
means a full length feature story, not some little snippet on page D46.
The rates are from $195 for a small paper to $2,850 for "Major
publications such as Wall Street Journal, USA Today, the New York
Times, the Washington Post, Chicago Tribune" with 500,000+ circulation.
More than I got, and probably not as good a deal as the new Zogby
poll for $5500 which can be publicized all over, again and again.
But it's 97% cheaper than that windmill-tilting $100,000 figure we
hear for a full-pager in the NYT.
Might be something to look into.
JOhn
