A crime has been committed. Thousands died. And the crime was a false-flag provocateur act that was used to start two wars, a police state in the U.S., and another war around the corner.
This mass-murder geopolitical atrocity was planned by Henry Kissinger, Richard Perle, and Paul Wolfowitz at the Pentagon.
The motives of these men can be inferred from their backers -- Kissinger for the Rockefeller interests, Perle for the Rothschilds and Wolfowitz for whomever put him in control of the International Monetary Fund.
9-11 involved a standdown by the U.S. military. The Pentagon is controlled by Zionist Jews who have taken control of the Republican Party and the Administration under the name Neocons. These people had to have been responsible.
The vido clip from the Pentagon security camera shows a missile trail and the tail fin of a plane that is but half the length of a Boeing 757. The crash imprint on the Pentagon does allow for the killer jet to have had a starboard engine. Photos of the wall also reveal other damage to the wall that could not have been caused by the plane crash -- damage indicative of a missile. Furthermore, the first lamppost knocked down by the killer jet did not occur along the path that almost all witnesses place the Boeing, i.e., coming directly over the Sheraton, directly over the Naval Annex and over the Citgo gas station (and slightly north of Sgt. William Lagasse who was pumping as there) -- indicating that the killer jet was a second plane, i.e., the plane whose tail fin is seen in the security cam video picutres released in March and officially released and authenticated by the Pentagon in May 2006. And finally, the piece of depris with American Airlines lettering on it that was photographed north of the crash, is in fact a piece from a Am Airlines Boeing 757 that comes from the starboard side of that plane (not the left side -- as the long piece of blank aluminum following the fragment of the letter "n" and the pattern of rivets proves. This array of conclusive proofs establishes that the leadership of the Pentagon were complicit in the false-flag black-op attack on the Pentagon.
Right now there is a meeting of 9-11 investigators in Chicago. I hope they will put emphasis on the evidence described above and that they will not get caught up in the many counter-intelligence disinformation and false-opposition theories (e.g. that no planes hit the WTC Towers, that a missile brought down Building 7, that there were holograms instead of planes or UFO's -- absurd ideas calculated to confuse, divide and disrupt the presentation of the real hard evidence.
The hopes of the hard-evidence investigators are on Alex Jones and this conference. I hope the investigators in Chicago -- the real investigators -- will carry the day. And I hope that all readers of this list will be discerning when evaluating what people say about the 9-11 conference in Chicago.

See below for what these 'people' in congress want to force you to do.
All I can say is "This is Horribly Wrong".
PS - I wonder if the corporate criminals in Congress, the media and the plutocracy will be
sending their kids off, or if they'll find just maybe they have "other priorities"? The leaders
always treat the sheeple like their personal cannon-fodder... always have, always will.
What do our lives mean to them? (except perhaps a way to put more money in their bank accounts?)

GI SPECIAL 4F3:
"This Is Horribly Wrong"
June 12, 2006 By Evan Thomas and Scott Johnson, Newsweek [Excerpts]
In December, NEWSWEEK interviewed some Army soldiers going home as conscientious objectors.
To fight boredom and disgust, said Clif Hicks, who had left a tank squadron at Camp Slayer in Baghdad, soldiers popped Benzhexol, five pills at time. Normally used to treat Parkinson's disease, the drug is a strong hallucinogenic when abused.
"People were taking steroids, Valium, hooked on painkillers, drinking. They'd go on raids and patrols totally stoned." Hicks, who volunteered at the age of 17, said, "We're killing the wrong people all the time, and mostly by accident. One guy in my squadron ran over a family with his tank."
Hicks's own revulsion peaked while he was on patrol in January 2004. He came upon a bloody scene in a Baghdad housing project, where some soldiers had mistaken celebratory shots fired at a wedding for an attack, returning heavy fire and killing a young girl.
"I looked in the door and she was dead, shot through the neck, Mom there, Grandma there, all losing it. Then I started thinking, this is really fucked up, this is horribly wrong." Hicks stopped taking his malaria pills, hoping he'd get sick and shipped out.
He says that infantry soldiers sometimes stick their legs out of the Humvee under sniper fire, hoping to get a nonlethal wound.
Hicks claims that "there's a lot of guys who steal from the Iraqis. Money, family heirlooms, and then they brag about it. Guys would crap into MRE bags and throw them to old men begging for food."

Mandatory Draft Bill
Snuck In - To Be
Debated 6-6-6
6-4-6
On February 14, 2006, Congressman Charles Rangel (Democrat - NY)
introduced a bill (Universal National
Service Act of 2006 - HR 4752 IH) aiming at drafting everyone - men and
women alike - from the ages of 18 to 42 into the military for a minimum
period of 2 years.
Or to quote the bill: "To provide for the common defense by requiring
all persons in the United States, including women, between the ages of
18 and 42 to perform a period of military service or a period of
civilian service in furtherance of the national defense and homeland
security, and for other purposes."
The House is to convene on June 6 (06/06/06] to debate and possibly
adopt this bill, that is, unless a vast public outcry succeeds in
derailing this insanity, which you can do by writing a letter of protest
to your congress person through

Haditha:
"Marine Commanders In Iraq Knew Within Two Days"
June 3, 2006 By REUTERS
Marine commanders in Iraq knew within two days of the killings in Haditha in November that gunfire, not a roadside bomb, had killed Iraqi civilians but they saw no reason to investigate further, The New York Times reported on Saturday.
A senior Marine officer told the Times that commanders informed investigators they had not viewed the early discrepancies in accounts about how the two dozen Iraqis died as unusual, and that they had no information at the time suggesting that any civilians had been killed deliberately.
But a senior Marine general familiar with the investigation told the newspaper "It's impossible to believe they didn't know,'' referring to mid-level and senior officers. "You'd have to know this thing stunk,'' the general, who was granted anonymity along with others who described the investigation, was quoted as saying.
The general also told the Times that it had not yet been determined just how high up the chain of command culpability for the killings went. He also said there were strong suspicions that some officers knew that the Marine squad's version of the incident had enough holes and discrepancies that it should have been questioned and investigated more fully.

"Any Normal Human Being Can See Their Morals Degenerate So They Can Do These Things"
[Thanks to JM, who sent this in.]
June 4, 2006 Paul Harris in New York, Peter Beaumont in London, and Mohammed al-Ubeidy in Baghdad, The Observer [Excerpt]
American veterans of the war in Iraq have described a culture of casual violence, revenge and prejudice against Iraqi civilians that has made the killing of innocent bystanders a common occurrence.
American veterans have told The Observer of a military culture that places little practical emphasis on avoiding civilian casualties in the heat of battle, although they also point out the huge problems of urban fighting against a tough enemy that often hides within the civilian Iraqi community.
'In these circumstances you would be surprised at how any normal human being can see their morals degenerate so they can do these things,' said Garrett Reppenhagen, a former US sniper.
At the same time, the marines and sailor being investigated in the killing of a civilian in Baghdad also appear to have attempted to cover up the death by planting evidence on the body.
It is a practice that Reppenhagen, who is now a senior member of peace group Iraq Veterans Against the War, said had happened before. 'We have members who can tell you about carrying shovels in their vehicles to throw down next to killed civilians as "proof" that they were planting IEDs,' he said. [See the next story.]
Few veterans believe that serious charges will travel very far up the chain of command. After Abu Ghraib, it was only low-level soldiers who stood trial. Many now expect a similar result from the new investigations.
[Ishikawa and Kuroshima would understand: insert troops into a hell on earth and there's no way to prevent atrocities. Yet the real fiends in their capital suites are never spattered with a single drop of blood. Solidarity, Z]

Eight Marines Jailed For Murdering Lame Old Man:
He Refused To Be A Traitor
Jun. 03, 2006 By Nancy A. Youssef, Knight Ridder & Associated Press
AL-HAMDANIYAH, Iraq: Before people talked about how Hashim Ibrahim Awad was killed, his friends shared tales about how the Americans wanted him to be an informant.
U.S. Marines had approached him several times, Awad's friends say he told them, asking him to help them find who was planting explosives in this small village outside Baghdad.
Every time, Awad, in his 50s with a lame leg and bad eyesight, refused. His family considered the job shameful.
In an exclusive interview with Knight Ridder on Friday, Awad's family gave their version of what happened to him in the early morning hours of April 26.
They said U.S. Marines dragged Awad from his home, killed him and then planted an AK-47 assault rifle and a shovel next to him to make him look like a terrorist.
The family members said American investigators have since harassed them, questioning their allegations in hours-long sessions that begin in the dead of night and last past dawn. They said they once were taken for questioning to nearby Abu Ghurayb prison, the scene of previous allegations of American abuse.
There was no way to confirm the accounts. U.S. officials have declined to provide details of the allegations that led them May 25 to announce that they were investigating the death of an Iraqi civilian and "several service members from 3rd Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment . . . were removed from operations and have returned to the United States.''
But the probe of the case has turned up enough evidence against Marines that eight individuals have been jailed and four others have been told not to leave their base at Camp Pendleton.
Lt. Lawton King, a Camp Pendleton official, said Friday that 1st Marine Division commander Gen. Richard F. Natonski ordered the eight into "pretrial confinement'' after an "evaluation of the ongoing investigation. ''
King declined to identify the eight by their branch of service and said all but one had appeared before a magistrate. He said no charges have been presented, however.
Al-Hamdaniyah is on the far western edge of Baghdad province. Insurgents are active in the area, and kidnappings and other violence are common. The town is obscure enough that U.S. officials incorrectly rendered its name as "Hamandiyah'' in their official announcement.
Awad's family showed Knight Ridder a sheet of paper that appeared to be part of a report on the incident. On the paper is a statement purportedly from a Marine sergeant stating that his unit killed the man because he was "digging on the side of the road from our ambush site. I made the call and engaged. He was pronounced dead at the scene with only a shovel and AK-47.''
Local tribal leaders said the Americans brought Hashim Awad's body, the shovel and the AK-47 to the local police station and reported that they had caught the man digging a hole and planting an explosive device, so they killed him. The police took the body to the hospital.
Shortly after the funeral, residents showed the family a flier Marines were circulating. The flier said Hashim Awad had been killed because he was a terrorist planting explosives and "lethal force will stop that.''
"It looks like the killing of Iraqi civilians is becoming a daily phenomenon," the chairman of the Iraqi Human Rights Association, Muayed al-Anbaki, said Friday after video ran on television of children and adults slain in a raid in March on the Iraqi village of Ishaqi north of Baghdad.

Iraqi Leader Says U.S. Command Lying About Ishaqi Massacre:
"We Expect The American Soldiers To Commit Any Crime To Control This Country"
Jun 3 By Mariam Karouny and Fredrik Dahl, Reuters
Iraq vowed on Saturday to press on with its own probe into the deaths of civilians in a U.S. raid on the town of Ishaqi, rejecting the U.S. military's exoneration of its forces.
Adnan al-Kazimi, an aide to Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, said the government would also demand an apology from the United States and compensation for the victims in several cases, including the alleged massacre in the town of Haditha last year.
"We have from more than one source that the Ishaqi killings were carried out under questionable circumstances. More than one child was killed. This report was not fair for the Iraqi people and the children who were killed," he told Reuters.
The U.S. military had issued a statement about Ishaqi saying allegations that U.S. troops "executed a family ... and then hid the alleged crimes by directing an air strike, are absolutely false."
Police in Ishaqi say five children, four women and two men were shot in the head, and that the bodies, with hands bound, were dumped in one room before the house was blown up.
Maliki, who took office two weeks ago at the helm of a U.S. backed national unity government, is battling a widespread public perception that U.S. troops can shoot and kill with impunity and Iraqi leaders are too weak to do anything about it.
"Ishaqi is just another reason why we shouldn't trust the Americans," said Abdullah Hussein, an engineer in Baghdad.
"First they lied about the weapons of mass destruction, then there was the Abu Ghraib prison abuse scandal and now it's clear to the world they were guilty in Haditha," he told Reuters.
A tribal leader in Ishaqi said it was clear that U.S. forces were above the law in Iraq.
"We expect the American soldiers to commit any crime to control this country," added Sarhan Jasim, 55.
One man in the town, 40-year-old Obeid Kamil, said on Friday that U.S. soldiers had a "license to kill" Iraqi civilians.
"Their action is always to open fire and kill people, which is proof that they are afraid," he said.
"More And More Soldiers And Units Refused To Go Into Combat"
"Some Chose To Kill Their Own Cruel Officers Rather Than Murder Vietnamese People"
2006-04-27 Jay Hauben, Oh My News
Did you know that there was an antiwar movement within the U.S. military during the Vietnam war?
It started with individual acts in 1965-66, escalating until it affected the whole military by 1973. At the time, the U.S. news media reported on this movement of GI desertions, GI antiwar newspapers and coffeehouses, about GIs refusing to ship out and GIs appearing at or organizing antiwar demonstrations.
This widespread opposition to the Vietnam war by active duty GIs seems little known or remembered today. Why?
One reason is of the 190 or so fiction and non-fiction films made in Hollywood and elsewhere portraying the Vietnam war, not one U.S. film mentions this aspect of the war and its contribution to the defeat of the U.S. in Vietnam. That is until now.
For one week in mid April in New York City there was a showing of "Sir! No Sir!," a new film by David Zeiger. The filmmaker combines archival film footage and current interviews with participants into a 75 minute documentary of the history and importance of the GI anti-war and anti-military movement.
The U.S. Pentagon acknowledged that there were 503,926 "incidents of desertion" between 1966 and 1971. But desertion was only one means of opposition. Howard Levy, a doctor drafted to teach Special Forces medics rudimentary skin disease treatment procedures, refused to continue working for what he believed was a purposely brutal war. He was court-martialed and served three years.
After a guard shot to death an emotionally disturbed prisoner who was walking away from a work gang at the Army's Presidio stockade, 27 other prisoners staged a sit-down demonstration, singing "We shall Overcome."
They were court-martialed for mutiny, a capital offense, and sentenced to long terms of hard labor. But the national outcry over long sentences for singing "We Shall Overcome" forced the military to release them within a year or two.
Two marines were sentenced to six and 10 years of hard labor for holding discussions at Camp Pendleton asking whether Black Americans should fight in Vietnam.
But the harsh sentences did not have the effect the military desired.
"Sir! No Sir!" begins with early acts like these of more or less individual resistance and goes on to examine how the movement grew and spread.
GI antiwar newspapers began to appear in 1967 at military bases in the U.S. and abroad. Produced by GIs, sometimes with civilian help, these papers expressed the grievances and resistance of the GIs they were written for.
Eventually, over 300 such papers appeared, produced by hundreds of GIs, distributed by thousands and read by tens of thousands. Most of the articles and cartoons were anonymous to protect the writers and cartoonists. The papers were conscious of themselves as part of a movement and covered the harassment that each other experienced.
Coffeehouses setup near U.S. bases were popular with GIs. At these coffeehouses, GIs could relax, discuss their situation with each other, read antiwar literature and work on their underground newspaper or on planning antiwar activities.
The civilian antiwar movement took notice and allied itself with the GI antiwar and antimilitary movement.
The film documents the growing revulsion of ordinary GIs to the brutality they were ordered to commit. The need for indiscriminate killing of Vietnamese is tied in the film to the need the Pentagon felt for large body counts.
In response, more and more soldiers and units refused to go into combat. If pushed enough, some chose to kill their own cruel officers rather than murder Vietnamese people. The U.S. Congress held hearings in 1973 about the "fragging of officers," which the Pentagon was reporting responsible for hundreds of the U.S. deaths in the war.
The film included footage of the Winter Soldiers Investigation by the Vietnam Veterans Against the War (VVAW) where veterans and civilian contractors testified to the atrocities and war crimes they witnessed or participated in against Vietnamese people.
The atrocities were tied to military policy and were not considered in any way random, isolated or accidental.
The film also reminded me of the VVAW organized encampment and march. Six hundred Vietnam veterans filed passed the U.S. Capitol Building on April 24, 1971. Each recited the name or names of buddies who had been killed in Vietnam and flung his battle ribbons, metals or dog tags over the fence and onto the steps of the Capitol.
I believe that was the turning point that won over a great majority of the American people to a more active opposition to the war.
"Sir! No Sir!" includes many such scenes and interviews to demonstrate over and over again the growing disgust within the military and the whole American population with the Vietnam war and with the mistreatment and degradation of those sent to fight it.
Zeiger included interviews with a group of Air Force intelligence gathers who refused to send back reports of intercepted North Vietnamese messages they monitored during the Christmas bombing of Hanoi and Haiphong. Rebellious officers and sailors were also shown or mentioned.
The state of the military was attested to by quotes from active duty Marine historian Colonel Robert Heinl who wrote in a 1971 article in the Armed Forces Journal, "By every conceivable indicator, our army that remains in Vietnam is in a state approaching collapse."
Zeiger does an important service when he includes near the end of the film an interview with Jerry Lembcke. When he left the service, Lembcke trained as a sociologist. He did extensive research, looking for evidence for a story that began to be heard in the 1980s that returning GIs were spat on by antiwar hippies and others. Lembcke found no contemporaneous evidence from the 1960s or 1970s of such a homecoming. He did find much scholarship which concluded that "acts of hostility against veterans by protesters were almost nonexistent."
Lembcke concluded by contending that the spitting image helps to tell a story that is not true, namely, that the United States lost the war in Vietnam because of betrayal on the home front.
To the question where did this story come from and how did it gain any credence, Zeiger includes a clip from a Rambo movie, where Sylvester Stallone says in disgust he will never let any protester spit on him again, documenting again the possible role of Hollywood in reactionary myth making.
"Sir! No Sir!" is beginning to be shown around the U.S.
It won the Audience Award for Best Documentary at the Los Angeles Film Festival. Its value and relevancy may be demonstrated by the fact that members of the Iraqi Veterans Against the War (IVAW) have attended showings of "Sir! No Sir!" and praised the film as full of lessons and encouragement.

"That Kind Of Spending Gives A Whole New Meaning To The Term 'War Profiteer'"
04/25/06 By Stephen Lendman, Information Clearing House [Excerpt]
In fiscal year 2000 the military budget was $289 billion, but up it went steadily after that reaching $442 billion in 2006 and currently is requested to increase to $463 or higher in 2007.
Add to that over $41 billion for Homeland Security in 2006 (another public rip-off as part of a move toward a full-blown national security police state) and annual multi-billions in funding off the books for the Iraq and Afghanistan wars that in fiscal 2006 alone amounts to about $120 billion now and may increase.
Add it up and the current budget for the military, 2 wars off the books and Homeland Security, and it comes to over $600 billion this year.
That kind of spending, with billions more available at the drop of an add-on presidential emergency request gives a whole new meaning to the term "war profiteer."
And while the big defense contractors reap the biggest benefits, many thousands of US corporations are in on the take as the Pentagon is a big buyer of everything from expensive R & D and high tech weapons to breakfast cereals and toilet paper.
Using the false Bush slogan about leaving no child behind for his failed education program, the Pentagon for sure leaves no corporation behind in its generosity.
Corporations wanting a piece of the action need only remember and abide by the scriptural message from John 16:24: "ask and you shall receive."
And probably a lot as the Pentagon is notorious about being sloppy, "spilling" more than many good sized corporations earn.

Understanding World Numbness, and Change
Posted by: "Michael Irving" celticisland333@yahoo.co.uk celticisland333
Mon Jun 5, 2006 10:48 pm (PST)
Warriors & Warrioresses To Win The World Back mailing list is about
spreading catalysing, highly important, key information, to wake the
world out of its daze.
http://groups.yahoo.com/ group/warriorsto win
The KEY question is WHY have many people shut down on themselves and
the world? Are they `on overload'? Can they not stand any more 'bad
news'? Or, are they just lost and they don't really know why they are
lost?
Have they gone numb?
Many of us meet people who are obviously not at all happy with the way
the world is - but they can't state their overall unhappiness, there's
a separation.
I describe to people some key things that are going on (such as the
vicious 'Chemtrail' mess in the air that we are all now breathing in
due to the covert worldwide spraying from hundreds of tanker planes,
etc. of this nasty concoction), and they don't seem interested. They
are not happy with the/their world, but, they can't and won't do
anything to change it. Why?
Have they repressed what they really want and need in life to the
point where these feelings, dreams, hopes, needs, and desires are cut
off from their 'everyday' conscious mind? Yes.
One of the first things I learned about discovering both my own
feelings, and, who I really am, is the simple dedication to trying to
feel ALL of my feelings. And this guidance is major:
'FEELING IS HEALING'
Here are two more feeling-blowing 'laws':
'WHAT WE ACCEPT, DISSOLVES' ... 'WHAT WE RESIST, PERSISTS'.
So, the main thing is: FEELING IS HEALING.
[Dr Arthur Janov, originator of 'Primal Therapy', brought out a
summary on Primal Therapy around 1991. In this book, Janov compiled a
list of BASIC NEEDS, which we all have, and which, if we are deprived
of these things, 'we exist in endless cycles of pain'.]
Here - below - is an outline of Dr Janov's 'Primal Therapy'.
It shows why so many people in the world are so numb.
And it indicates how this global situation can be changed.

Overview of Primal Therapy
Primal Therapy was developed by Dr. Arthur Janov. The sections below
cover an Overview of Primal Theory, related subjects on the site is

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about Primal Therapy.
Basic Theory --- The Discovery of Primal Pain --- Neurosis
Basic Theory
The following is taken from Why You Get Sick - How You Get Well by Dr.
Arthur Janov, and reviews some of the basic theory behind Primal Therapy.
"There is one neurosis, many manifestations and one cure — feeling."
Repressed pain divides the self in two and each side wars with the
other. One is the real self, loaded with needs and pain that are
submerged; the other is the unreal self that attempts to deal with the
outside world by trying to fulfill unmet needs with neurotic habits or
behaviors such as obsessions or addictions. The split of the self is
the essence of neurosis and neurosis can kill.
That pain is the result of needs and feelings that have gone
unfulfilled in early life. Those early unmet needs create what I call
Primal Pain. Coming close to death at birth or feeling unloved as a
child are examples of such Pain. The Pain goes unfelt at the time
because the body is not equipped to experience it fully and deal with
it. When the Pain is too much, it is repressed and stored away. When
enough unresolved Pain has occurred, you lose access to your feelings
and become neurotic.
"The number one killer in the world today is not cancer or heart
disease, it is repression."
Primal Therapy is important in the field of psychology, for it means,
ultimately, the end to so much suffering in human beings. Discovering
a way to treat Pain means there is a way to stop the misery in which
so many of us are mired every day of our lives. After two decades of
research, after dealing with thousands of patients with every
imaginable psychological and physical affliction, we have arrived at a
precise, predictable therapy that reduces the amount of time one
spends in treatment and eliminates all the wasted motion. It is a
therapy that has been investigated by independent scientists and the
findings are consistent. Primal Therapy is able to reduce or eliminate
a host of physical and psychic ailments in a relatively short period
of time with lasting results.
"Feeling Pain is the end of suffering."
We have found ways to measure the ongoing presence and chronic effects
of early trauma. We have observed time and again that even though it
is not felt, the force of the memory remains in the system,
reverberating on lower brain levels and moving against the body
wherever it happens to be vulnerable. It shapes our interests, values,
motivations and ideas. By reliving these traumas, patients can return
back to early events and know with certainty how they formed adult
behavior and symptoms.
"Repression is the hidden force behind illness"
We can see how buried memories constantly activate the system, putting
pressure on vital organs and creating disruptions which can eventually
result in serious illness. The problem for too many of us is that
suddenly we find ourselves with afflictions or obsessions and have no
idea how it all happened. We don't know why we can't sleep, why we
can't find a mate, why we are obsessed with this idea or that or why
we don't function as we want to, sexually. Primal Therapy can clarify
these seeming mysteries.
It sometimes seems that everyone is suffering in their own way and few
are aware of it. Television is riddled with ads for ibuprofen,
aspirin, sleeping pills and other pain killers, implicitly
acknowledging the Pain we are all in but without ever acknowledging it
explicitly. Nothing dramatic happens but so many of us have developed
this disease or that, from high blood pressure to allergies, colitis,
anxiety attacks, asthma, circulation problems and heart palpitations
(our history literally becomes palpable). So many ailments that seem
inexplicable -- depression and phobias, ulcers and migraines -- may
all stem from the same source. So might many of our personality
quirks, our habits and behavior patterns, our drives and obsessions.
One powerful piece of evidence for the fact of the same kinds of Pains
being behind so many different afflictions and behavioral problems is
that the same kinds of tranquilizers or pain killers are used to treat
all of them.
In the fields of medicine and psychotherapy today doctors deal with
symptoms. Just look at the DSM-IV, the psychiatric diagnostic and
statistical manual, with page after page of every conceivable
variation of neurosis. And in Washington, D.C., they have erected
monuments to symptoms, a building for each one — drug abuse,
alcoholism, heart disease, cancer and so on. Experts specialize in
treating colitis, ulcers, migraines, diabetes, high blood pressure,
asthma, anxiety, depression, marital problems, eating disorders, etc.;
knowing more and more about narrower and narrower subjects. They add
salt, take away salt, add thyroid, remove thyroid, speculate about the
reasons for one's allergies or unhappiness, analyze dreams and nearly
always prescribe medication. They are trying to normalize the symptom
instead of normalizing the person who has it; trying to normalize the
manifestation instead of the system that makes it manifest.
* * *
Delving deep into the unconscious has allowed us to clarify the basis
of adult behavior. We have a good idea what lies in the unconscious
and it doesn't seem to be the mystical emporium so often described. We
have learned in Primal Therapy that irrespective of whether the Pain
is manifest in the body or in the mind, the person is not himself;
there is a dislocation of function which is global. Both emotional and
physical pain deform cells and cause alterations which show up in
measurements of vital signs, brain function and chemistry, the immune
system, hormones, peripheral blood flow and in a person's behavior.
Everything is askew. Primal Therapy works in reverse of the normal
approach. Instead of working from symptoms to possible causes, we work
from causes to symptoms. The focus is always deep. From this approach
we have developed a more profound understanding of who we are and what
drives us, our basic, hidden, unconscious motivations.
The Discovery of Primal Pain
"Some years ago, I heard something that was to change the course of my
professional life and the lives of my patients. What I heard may
change the nature of psychotherapy as it is now known --an eerie
scream welling up from the depths of a young man lying on the floor
during a therapy session. I can liken it only to what one might hear
from a person about to be murdered. This book is about that scream and
what it means in terms of unlocking the secrets of neurosis. The young
man who emitted it will be called Danny Wilson, a twenty-two-year-old
college student. He was not psychotic, nor was he what is termed
hysteric; he was a poor student, withdrawn, sensitive, and quiet.
"I don't have to live my life in agony anymore. I can finally be
myself - the real me - the one I should have been all along - and be
happy with who I am." C.B., France
"During a lull in our group therapy session, he told us a story about
a man named Ortiz who was currently doing an act on the London stage
in which he paraded around in diapers drinking bottles of milk.
Throughout his number, Ortiz is shouting, `Mommy! Daddy! Mommy!
Daddy!' at the top of his lungs. At the end of his act he vomits.
Plastic bags are passed out, and the audience is requested to follow suit.
"Danny's fascination with the act impelled me to try something
elementary, but which previously had escaped my notice. I asked him to
call out, "Mommy! Daddy!" Danny refused, saying that he couldn't see
the sense in such a childish act, and frankly, neither could I. But I
persisted, and finally, he gave in. As he began, he became noticeably
upset. Suddenly he was writhing on the floor in agony. His breathing
was rapid, spasmodic; "Mommy! Daddy!" came out of his mouth almost
involuntarily in loud screeches. He appeared to be in a coma or
hypnotic state. The writhing gave way to small convulsions, and
finally, he released a piercing, deathlike scream that rattled the
walls of my office. The entire episode lasted only a few minutes, and
neither Danny nor I had any idea what had happened. All he could say
afterward was: "I made it! I don't know what, but I can feel"
"What happened to Danny baffled me for months. I had done standard
insight therapy for seventeen years, both as a psychiatric social
worker and as a psychologist. I was trained in a Freudian psychiatric
clinic, as well as in a not-so-Freudian Veterans Administration
department. For several years I had been on the staff of the
psychiatric department of the Los Angeles Children's Hospital. At no
time during that period had I witnessed anything comparable. Since I
had taped the group session that night, I listened to the recording
frequently over the next several months in an effort to understand
what had happened. But to no avail.
"Before long I had a chance to learn more about it.
"A thirty-year-old man, whom I shall call Gary Hillard, was relating
with great feeling how his parents had always criticized him, had
never loved him, and had generally messed up his life. I urged him to
call out for them; he demurred. He "knew" that they didn't love him,
so what was the point? I asked him to indulge my whim. Halfheartedly,
he started calling for Mommy and Daddy. Soon I noticed he was
breathing faster and deeper. His calling turned into an involuntary
act that led to writhing, near-convulsions, and finally to a scream.
"Both of us were shocked. What I had believed was an accident, an
idiosyncratic reaction of one patient, had just been repeated in
almost identical fashion.
"Afterward, when he quieted down, Gary was flooded with insights. He
told me that his whole life seemed to have suddenly fallen into place.
This ordinarily unsophisticated man began transforming himself in
front of my eyes into what was virtually another human being. He
became alert; his sensorium opened up; he seemed to understand himself.
"Because of the similarities of the two reactions, I began listening
even more carefully to the tapes I had made of Danny's and Gary's
sessions. I tried to analyze what common factors or techniques
produced the reactions. Slowly some meaning began to emerge. Over the
next months I tried various modifications and approaches in asking the
patient to call for his parents. Each time there occurred the same
dramatic results.
"I have come to regard that scream as the product of central and
universal pains which reside in all neurotics. I call them Primal
Pains because they are the original, early hurts upon which all later
neurosis is built. It is my contention that these pains exist in every
neurotic each minute of his later life, irrespective of the form of
his neurosis. These pains often are not consciously felt because they
are diffused throughout the entire system where they affect body
organs, muscles, the blood and lymph system and, finally, the
distorted way we behave.
"Primal Therapy is aimed at eradicating these pains. It is
revolutionary because it involves overthrowing the neurotic system by
a forceful upheaval. Nothing short of that will eliminate neurosis, in
my opinion.
"If it weren't for Primal Therapy, I would be dead from drinking and
smoking too much and driving too fast. Even if this had not killed me
physically, I still would have been dead emotionally." A.N., USA
"Primal Theory is an outgrowth of my observations about why specific
changes take place. Theory, I must emphasize, did not precede clinical
experience. When I watched Danny and Gary writhing on the floor in the
throes of Primal Pain, I had no idea what to call it. The theory has
been expanded and deepened by the continuing reports of one patient
after another who has been cured of neurosis. This book is an
invitation to explore the revolution they began."
— from The Primal Scream by Dr. Arthur Janov
Neurosis
The following paragraphs cover Dr. Janov's theory of neurosis:
We all are creatures of need. We are born needing, and the vast
majority of us die after a lifetime of struggle with many of our needs
unfulfilled. These needs are not excessive--to be fed, kept warm and
dry, to grow and develop at our own pace, to be held and caressed, and
to be stimulated. These Primal needs are the central reality of the
infant. The neurotic process begins when these needs go unmet for any
length of time. A newborn does not know that he should be picked up
when he cries or that he should not be weaned too early, but when his
needs go unattended, he hurts.
At first the infant will do everything in his power to fulfill his
needs. He will reach up to be held, cry when he is hungry, kick his
legs, and thrash about to have his needs recognized. If his needs go
unfulfilled for a length of time, if he is not held, changed or fed,
he will suffer continuous pain either until he can do something to get
his parents to satisfy him or until he shuts off the pain by shutting
off his need. If his pain is drastic enough, death may intervene, as
shown in studies of some institutional babies.
Since the infant cannot himself overcome the sensation of hunger (that
is, he cannot go to the refrigerator) or find substitute affection, he
must separate his sensations (hunger; wanting to be held) from
consciousness.
This separation of oneself from one's needs and feelings is an
instinctive maneuver in order to shut off excessive pain. We call it
the split. The organism splits in order to protect its continuity.
This does not mean that unfulfilled needs disappear, however. On the
contrary, they continue throughout life exerting a force, channeling
interests, and producing motivation toward the satisfaction of those
needs. But because of their pain, the needs have been suppressed in
the consciousness, and so the individual must pursue substitute
gratifications. He must, in short, pursue the satisfaction of his
needs symbolically. Because he was not allowed to express himself, he
may be compelled to try to get others to listen and understand him
later in life.
Not only are unattended needs that persist to the point of
intolerability separated from consciousness, but their sensations
become relocated to areas where greater control or relief can be
provided. Thus, feelings can be relieved by urination (later by sex)
or controlled by the suppression of deep breathing. The unfulfilled
infant is learning how to disguise and change his needs into symbolic
ones. As an adult he may not feel the need to suck his mother's breast
owing to abrupt early weaning but will be an incessant smoker. His
need to smoke is a symbolic need, and the essence of neurosis is the
pursuit of symbolic satisfactions.
Neurosis is a symbolic behavior in defense against excessive
psychobiologic pain. Neurosis is self-perpetuating because symbolic
satisfactions cannot fulfill real needs. In order for real needs to be
satisfied, they must be felt and experienced. Unfortunately, pain has
caused those needs to be buried. When they are buried, the organism
goes into a continuous state of emergency alert. That alert state is
tension. It propels the infant, and later the adult, toward the
satisfaction of need in any way possible. This emergency alert is
necessary to ensure the infant's survival; if he were to give up hope
of ever having his needs fulfilled, he might die. The organism
continues to live at any cost, and that cost is usually
neurosis--shutting down unmet bodily needs and feelings because the
pain is too great to withstand.
Whatever is natural is a real need--to grow and develop at one's own
pace, for example. This means, as a child, not being weaned too soon;
not being forced to walk or talk too early; not being forced to catch
a ball before one's neurological apparatus can do so comfortably.
Neurotic needs are unnatural ones--they develop from the
nonsatisfaction of real needs. We are not born in this world needing
to hear praise, but when a child's real efforts are denigrated
virtually from birth, when he is made to feel that nothing he can do
will be good enough for him to be loved by his parents, he may develop
a craving for praise. Similarly, the need to express oneself as a
child can be suppressed, even by the lack of anyone listening. Such
denial may turn into a need to talk incessantly.
A loved child is one whose natural needs are fulfilled. Love takes his
pain away. An unloved child is the one who hurts because he is
unfulfilled. A loved child has no need for praise because he has not
been denigrated. He is valued for what he is, not for what he can do
to satisfy his parents' needs. A loved child does not grow up into an
adult with an insatiable craving for sex. He has been held and
caressed by his parents and does not need to use sex to satisfy that
early need. Real needs flow from inside out, not the reverse. The need
to be held and caressed is part of the need to be stimulated. The skin
is our largest sense organ and requires at least as much stimulation
as other sense organs. Disastrous consequences can occur when there is
insufficient stimulation early in life. Organ systems may begin to
atrophy without stimulation; conversely, as Krech has shown [D. Krech,
E. Bennett, M. Diamond, and M. Rosenzweig, "Chemical and Anatomical
Plasticity of Brain," Science, Vol. 146 (October 30, 1964), pp.
610-19], with proper stimulation they may develop and grow. There must
be constant mental and physical stimulation.
Unfulfilled needs supersede any other activity in the human until they
are met. When needs are met, the child can feel. He can experience his
body and his environment. When needs are not met, the child
experiences only tension, which is feeling disconnected from
consciousness. Without that necessary connection, the neurotic does
not feel. Neurosis is the pathology of feeling.
Neurosis does not begin at the instant a child suppresses his first
feeling, but we might say that the neurotic process does. The child
shuts down in stages. Each suppression and denial of need turn the
child off a bit more. But one day there occurs a critical shift in
which the child is primarily turned off, in which he is more unreal
than real, and at that critical point we may judge him to be neurotic.
From that time on, he will operate on a system of dual selves; the
unreal and real selves. The real self is the real needs and feelings
of the organism. The unreal self is the cover of those feelings and
becomes the facade required by neurotic parents in order to fulfill
needs of their own. A parent who needs to feel respected because he
has been humiliated constantly by his parents, may demand obsequious
and respecting children who do not sass him or say anything negative.
A babyish parent may demand that his child grow up too fast, do all
the chores, and in reality become adult long before he is ready--so
that the parent may continue to be the cared-for baby.
Demands for the child to be unreal are not often explicit.
Nevertheless, parental need becomes the child's implicit command. The
child is born into his parents' needs and begins struggling to fulfill
them almost from the moment he is alive. He may be pushed to smile (to
appear happy), to coo, to wave bye-bye, later to sit up and walk,
still later to push himself so that his parents can have an advanced
child. As the child develops, the requirements upon him become more
complex. He will have to get A's, to be helpful and do his chores, to
be quiet and undemanding, not to talk too much, to say bright things,
to be athletic. What he will not do is be himself. The thousands of
operations that go on between parents and children which deny the
natural Primal needs of the child mean that the child will hurt. They
mean that he cannot be what he is and be loved. Those deep hurts I
call Primal Pains (or Pains). Primal Pains are the needs and feelings
which are repressed or denied by consciousness. They hurt because they
have not been allowed expression or fulfillment. These Pains all add
up to: I am not loved and have no hope of love when I am really myself.
Each time a child is not held when he needs to be, each time he is
shushed, ridiculed, ignored, or pushed beyond his limits, more weight
will be added to his pool of hurts. This pool I call the Primal Pool.
Each addition to his pool makes the child more unreal and neurotic.
As the assaults on the real system mount, they begin to crush the real
person. One day an event will take place which, though not necessarily
traumatic in itself--giving the child to a baby sitter for the
hundredth time - will shift the balance between real and unreal and
render the child neurotic. That event I call the major Primal Scene.
It is a time in the young child's life when all the past humiliations,
negations, and deprivations accumulate into an inchoate realization:
"There is no hope of being loved for what I am." It is then that the
child defends himself against that catastrophic realization by
becoming split from his feelings, and slips quietly into neurosis. The
realization is not a conscious one. Rather, the child begins acting
around his parents, and then elsewhere, in the manner expected by
them. He says their words and does their thing. He acts unreal--i.e.,
not in accord with the reality of his own needs and desires. In a
short time the neurotic behavior becomes automatic.
Neurosis involves being split, disconnected from one's feelings. The
more assaults on the child by the parents, the deeper the chasm
between real and unreal. He begins to speak and move in prescribed
ways, not to touch his body in proscribed areas (not to feel himself
literally), not to be exuberant or sad, and so on. The split, however,
is necessary in a fragile child. It is the reflexive (i.e., automatic)
way the organism maintains its sanity. Neurosis, then, is the defense
against catastrophic reality in order to protect the development and
psychophysical integrity of the organism.
Neurosis involves being what one is not in order to get what doesn't
exist. If love existed, the child would be what he is, for that is
love-letting someone be what he or she is. Thus, nothing wildly
traumatic need happen in order to produce neurosis. It can stem from
forcing a child to punctuate every sentence with "please" and "thank
you," to prove how refined the parents are. It can also come from not
allowing the child to complain when he is unhappy or to cry. Parents
may rush in to quell sobs because of their anxiety. They may not
permit anger--"nice girls don't throw tantrums; nice boys don't talk
back"--to prove how respected the parents are; neurosis may also arise
from making a child perform, such as asking him to recite poems at a
party or solve abstract problems. Whatever form it takes, the child
gets the idea of what is required of him quite soon. Perform, or else.
Be what they want, or else--no love, or what passes for love:
approval, a smile, a wink. Eventually the act comes to dominate the
child's life, which is passed in performing rituals and mouthing
incantations in the service of his parents' requirements.
It is the terrible hopelessness of never being loved that causes the
split. The child must deny the realization that his needs will never
be filled no matter what he does. He cannot live knowing that he is
despised or that no one is really interested in him. It is intolerable
for him to know that there is no way to make his father less critical
or his mother kind. The only way he has of defending himself is by
developing substitute needs, which are neurotic.
Let us take the example of a child who is being continually denigrated
by his parents. In the schoolroom he may chatter incessantly (and have
the teacher come down hard on him); in the schoolyard he may brag
nonstop (and alienate the other children). Later in life he may have
an uncontrollable craving for and loudly demand something as patently
symbolic (to the onlooker) as the "best table in the house" in an
expensive restaurant.
Getting the table cannot undo the "need" he has to feel important.
Otherwise, why repeat his performance every time he eats out? Split
off from an authentic unconscious need (to be recognized as a
worthwhile human being), he derives the "meaning" of his existence
from being greeted by name by various maitre d'hotel in fancy restaurants.
Children are born, then, with real biological needs * which, for one
reason or another, their parents do not fulfill. It may be that some
mothers and fathers simply do not recognize the needs of their child
or that those parents, out of a desire not to make any mistakes,
follow the advice of some august authority in child rearing and pick
up their child by the clock, feed him by a timetable an airline would
envy, wean him according to a flow chart, and toilet train him as soon
as possible.
Nevertheless, I do not believe that either ignorance or methodological
zeal accounts for the bumper crops of neurosis our species has been
producing since history began. The major reason I have found that
children become neurotic is that their parents are too busy struggling
with unmet infantile needs of their own.
Thus a woman may become pregnant in order to be babied-which is what
she has actually needed to be all her life. As long as she is the
center of attention, she is relatively happy. Once delivered of her
child, she may become acutely depressed. Being pregnant would serve
her need and have nothing to do with producing a new human being on
this earth. The child may even suffer for being born and depriving his
mother of the one time in her life when she could make others care.
Since she is not ready for motherhood, her milk may dry up, leaving
her newborn with the same raft of early deprivations which she herself
may have suffered. In this way the sins of the parents are visited on
the children in a seemingly never-ending cycle.
The attempt of the child to please his parents I call the struggle.
The struggle begins first with parents and later generalizes to the
world. It spreads beyond the family because the person carries his
deprived needs with him wherever he goes, and those needs must be
acted out. He will seek out parent substitutes with whom he will play.
Many parents make the mistake of not picking up their child
sufficiently out of fear of "spoiling" him. By ignoring him, this is
precisely what they do, and later they will be swamped by the child's
insatiable demands for symbolic substitutes--until the day they crack
down on him. The consequences of that are both inevitable and dreadful.
Out of his neurotic drama, he will make almost anyone (including his
children) into parental figures who will fill his needs. If a father
was suppressed verbally and was never allowed to say much, his
children are going to be listeners. They, in turn, having to listen so
much, will have suppressed needs for someone to hear them; it may well
be their own children.
The locus of struggle shifts from real need to neurotic need, from
body to mind, because mental needs occur when basic needs are denied.
But mental needs are not real needs. Indeed, there are no purely
psychological needs. Psychological needs are neurotic needs because
they do not serve the real requirements of the organism. The man in
the restaurant, for example, who must have the best table in order to
feel important is acting on a need which developed because he was
unloved, because his real efforts in life were either ignored or
suppressed. He may have a need to be recognized by name by the maitre
d' because early in life he was referred only to by category-"son."
This means he was dehumanized by his parents and is trying to get a
human response symbolically through others. Being treated as a unique
human being by his parents would obviate this so-called need to feel
important. What the neurotic does is put new labels (the need to feel
important) on old unconscious needs (to be loved and valued). In time
he may come to believe that these labels are real feelings and that
their pursuit is necessary.
The fascination of seeing our names in lights or on the printed page
is but one indication of the deep deprivation in many of us of
individual recognition. Those achievements, no matter how real, serve
as a symbolic quest for parental love. Pleasing an audience becomes
the struggle.
Struggle is what keeps a child from feeling his hopelessness. It lies
in overwork, in slaving for high grades, in being the performer.
Struggle is the neurotic's hope of being loved. Instead of being
himself, he struggles to become another version of 'himself. Sooner or
later the child comes to believe that this version is the real him.
The "act" is no longer voluntary and conscious; it is automatic and
unconscious. It is neurotic.

The Truth Is Blasting Out !

Friends,
My heart almost stopped when I found this in my Inbox as an Editor's Choice in an online publication I highly respect. I have no idea how they found my rant (see email below) but the important thing is that the truth IS getting out there!!!
When even the NY Times begins to cover this issue (see http://www.nytimes.com/2006/ ) we know we are definitely at least headed in the right direction of exposing the depths of the malevolence.06/05/us/ 05conspiracy. html?_r=1& oref=slogin
Whatever we are all doing? We need to not only keep it up - but we also need to do more of it, because it's apparently working! The NY Times would never have covered this story even a year ago. But directly as a result of the grassroots efforts of all of us, the truth is now bustin' at the seams!
Take care,
Cathy

Commentary
Business as usual, part two: The government short-sells America
By Jerry Mazza
Online Journal Associate Editor
Jun 6, 2006, 00:59
In "Business as usual – 9/11 and the fall of America", I wrote,
"speaking of winners, include the five-year US Treasury Notes. They
were bought in unusually high volume before the attack. The buyers
realized sizable increases in the Notes' value after the attack. But
this is business as usual again." In subsequent searching I came upon
a staggering statistic on who made the largest amount on US Bonds:
"What one group was holding tens of thousands of short positions going
into 911 that reaped about 250 billion dollars in the blink of an eye?
Hint! Begins with a G and ends with a T." It was the United States
government.
This comes from the (linked-above) article, "Who made the AA `Put'
Options The Days Prior to 911?" The title was a query from writer John
Kaminski. The response was written by Walter J. Burien, Jr., a mystery
himself, if not a financial wizard. He also mentioned that on the
"morning of 911, US Bonds moved in 3 to 4 minutes by 1.5 points back
and forth three times or $1,500 per contract in seconds three times in
less than 4 minutes." If that makes your head spin, try this . . .
"Most institutional traders trade in blocks of 500 to 3,000 contracts.
Daily transactions are 350,000 to 400,000 contracts traded. The bond
market trading was suspended about one half hour after the attack.
When it reopened it moved in several days by 5 points. Someone holding
1,000 contracts would have reaped five million dollars using one
million. International and domestic stock index futures would have
reaped over fifteen million using one million. Guess who made the
biggest killing on short international and domestic stock index
positions?" Well, you've got the answer to that one.
Shorting or short-selling is really, as Burien points out, the ability
to sell the market (i.e. price of a stock or bond, etc.) "short" (for
less than its value at the time) on paper, that is, even if you don't
own the stock, commodity, currency, bonds, etc. By using what are
called "derivatives," you can actually manipulate the market.
Now that preceding short sentence contains an enormous principle with
enormous consequences. You can sell a put option (that the stock will
go down]) or a call option (the stock will go up) let's say for a $100
without actually owning it. If the market goes in your favored
direction, you liquidate the option at $50 and make $50 on your "short
option."
This not only turns the market into a gambling casino, but it gives
people who have the ability to control the wheel of events that could
cause up or down ticks an enormous amount of power to enrich
themselves, in this case the United States government. As Burien
points out, "A monopoly (Such as: US Composite Government Funds)
controlling the swings in the markets will reap unheard of profits on
each and every dramatic swing. . . ." It's also a reason to misspend
however much they desire, because they have an enormous and invisible
income stream.
Burien calculates the overall government investment funds to be in the
trillions of dollars, with less than 450 managers controlling 80
percent of the revenue. Yet they all, as he puts it, "subscribe to the
same newsletter, and discuss strategy at the club." In fact, Burien
quotes retired Fedmeister Alan Greenspan from the Wall Street Journal
in 2000, who said he was "concerned about the eighty (80) trillion
dollar international derivative market." Concerned? He should have
asked the SEC to outlaw it. But then why would the government
slaughter its own huge cash cow?
Short-Selling to Control the US and World Economy
Again Burien points out what Greenspan didn't say was that "the
composite US Government investment funds were the primary user,
player, manipulator, and profiteers within that 80 trillion dollar
derivative market. The government investment funds are professional
short players with no equal in opposition." Is that really what we
want the government investment managers doing, short-selling the
American economy to take in hundreds of billions every year for the
last 30 years? They certainly aren't suspending taxes because of it.
In fact, since the government controls economic reports, not to
mention media coverage, and wealth (your and my and everybody else's
wealth), they can "fix" the economic environment to profit enormously
while everyone else is going down the drain. For instance, Burien
mentions that in the three months prior to 9/11, they "increase[ed]
their short positions to the largest diversified short positions ever
held by them."
The government, in short, is playing us, not just the economy. Our
assets constitute the economy, mega biz-man or working stiff or
retired senior living on Social Security. By the way, its Trust Fund
[excess of income over yearly pay-outs] is invested to keep it
healthy, solvent. If you're at the bottom of the work force, skating
around poverty, this short-selling could land you in the middle of it.
For instance, Burien notes, "as the market dove lower and lower, in a
quick yo-yo fashion, the government investment funds through the use
of derivatives transfers that wealth into their management accounts
and hands . . ." So, even though government investment portfolios take
a dive on their actual stock holdings, their "derivative" profits, the
betting sideshow, will by far offset the losses, or even yield a net
profit on losses overall. But you won't see these profits. They're
gone, as mentioned, via cash withdrawals and transfers to look like
operating losses. What you'll see is a hole in your portfolio, in your
wallet, in your economy, in your government's ability to sustain
social or other programs.
So, bottom line you, the public, provide the cash, i.e., liquidity,
and the substantial US government investment funds have the absolute
financial control. In fact, Burien points out that "any commodity,
International Stock market, or corporate complex's value can be
strongly suppressed or over inflated for years by a monopoly using
derivates," that is, "controlled by paper transactions for commitments
to buy or sell without physical ownership of what is bought or sold."
Now, if that's not the greatest scam on the planet, I'm George W.
Bush. A truly scary thought.
In fact, whether prices go up or own, these guys stand to win, because
they're moving as a body,
controlling the game and raking in the winnings with their
"derivatives" stick. So if we look at who held the majority of "short"
derivatives on domestic and international stock index markets before
911, and then raked in more than a trillion bucks in profits in just
weeks from those markets' pursuant collapse, you would find in that
golden group the Shining behind 911.
How to Stop the Stealing
The hitch, Burien points out, in finding out the Shining is that the
government controls the release of that info: the federal Securities
and Exchange Commission and Commodities Futures Trading Commission.
They've got it locked up tighter than a Chase safe. In fact, the
airline shorting I wrote about originally is small change next to this
rake-off.
You would need to be very connected in the financial community to
produce what Burien calls "a generic report," one that did not violate
brokerage and member houses' nondisclosure agreements. But in all
likelihood, even if some strong-minded folk could produce it, "they
would be dead," Burien suggests. So anonymity would have to be
maintained as well in creating and releasing a "generic report" with
findings that government funds were derivative benefactors. The
resulting international public outcry would be deafening, as in a revolt!
Additionally, what Burien has the vision to see here is that
government was/is preparing for an uprising in America. So they
created a patsy, a diversion, a far away enemy, to distract the
homegrown dissatisfaction. Since government circles run on the greed
factor, that greed has eaten into the body politic and has feasted on
the health and ethics of the people. And in some way, some part of the
public realizes that and wants change.
To counter that vocal displeasure, the "derivatives" takeover of
America's wealth has happened almost wholly on paper and through
manipulating, as Burien says, the "legislature, the judiciary, and
Attorney Complex over the last 60 years, and with the cooperation of
the syndicated news media and education. With the conquest being done
by transferring the wealth on paper, the consequences for the `takers'
was virtually nonexistent!" And quiet.
It would take a court order from a competent jurisdiction to pry open
how government investment funds are handled by private managers.
Management basically waves enforcement nondisclosure rules when it
comes to handling government funds. An intentional cover-up on any
emerging disclosure would look like the highest form of treason.
According to Burien, "The showing of derivative transactions both on
the domestic and international fronts would burn the government's
façade alive. Based on the fund tracker, government fund accounts were
holding their largest short positions `ever' going into 911." As
always, while everybody's looking at planes, hijackers, politicians,
falling buildings and the like, it comes down to "following the
money." Once the trail is exposed, it's a whole new ballgame.
But the current "players" don't want a revolt on their hands, despite
the fact that they've been playing us for some 60 years. They would
and are working towards a country absolutely controlled, tight as a
drum. And they will get even more vicious as they are cornered, like
the "wounded animals" they are.
Who Is Walter Burien?
As to Burien, you may be wondering who he is. According to the brief
resume in his article,
Walter Burien (AKA: Bubien) was a CTA (Commodity Trading Advisor) of
14 years (1978-92).
He was National Sales Manager: US Trading Championship Money Managers
Verified Ratings 10 years. (1982-1992) Tenant - 1WTC, NY, NY 1979 – 81.
He also lists a video release (not clear if it was his or one in which
participated) on 12/12/03 TNT (The National Tea-Party) Self
Sufficiency in Government `Without" Taxation.
Somehow, two years later he was jailed for over a year, i.e., "held
captive by forced incarceration from 11/23/05 - 01/09/06."
The titular reason for Burien's jailing involved a long-standing
custodial case, concerning his son Walter, Jr. Perhaps it was used as
an opportunity for reprisal regarding his observations on
short-selling and the US government and/or the elimination of taxation
in the/his video.
It also seems as if he could use a first-rate battery of lawyers to
protect his civil as well as whistleblower rights. The story of his
jailing is at his website http://CAFR1.com. His website also contains
some brilliant observations on CAFRs, the Comprehensive Annual
Financial Report of every state in the union for a number of years.
The federal government also produces a CAFR annually.
Burien's email is WalterBurien@CAFR1.com . Regardless of the vagaries
of his custodial case, it is my contention that Walter Burien is a
fearless and brilliant patriot under fire. I personally thank him for
his information and insights into short-selling America. This is
another terrible business as usual.

Canadian 'Terror Plot' Begins To
Unravel
Terrorists set up in sting operation, more on unfounded London raid
Paul Joseph Watson/Prison Planet.com | June 6 2006
http://www.prisonplanet.com/ articles/ june2006/ 060606terrorplot .htm
Just as predicted, the frightening plot to bomb high profile targets in
Toronto and the arrest of 17 alleged terror suspects has all the
hallmarks of yet another invented nightmare intended to scare western
populations into quelling their descent of the empire.
From a manufactured scheme to attack the Library Tower in LA to the
British government's hoax Canary Wharf and Ricin terror conspiracies -
every major alert or mass arrest since 9/11 has proven to be a
fraudulent movie script with no basis in reality.
As the credibility of Friday's London terror raid collapses, so does
its counterpart in Canada with the news that the arrests were a sting
operation in which, "The Royal Canadian Mounted Police itself delivered
three tons of potential bomb-making material," to the alleged
terrorists according to the Associated Press. As one blog points out,
"I remember once when huge lots of Chinese food were ordered in someone
else's name by bored teenagers as pranks. Do things like that still
happen, I wonder, and could they happen with fertilizer, too?"
At the moment CSIS is saying very little and it appears that the bulk
of the case is being built around stage prop photos of 'sample' bags of
ammonium nitrate, guns and explosive timers (pictured below).
The Canadians are obviously taking a leaf out of the Russian textbook
of government sponsored terror. After FSB (former KGB) agents were
caught in the act of carrying out apartment block bombings in the late
1990's, the Russian state media relentlessly showcased a bag of hexogen
explosive and cited it as proof that their official story stood up.
For those who are aware of the past activities of CSIS it's going to
take more than a scary display of terrorist paraphernalia to validate
the government's account of events.
In August 2003 26 Pakistani and South Asian men were arrested during a
pre-dawn raid by the RCMP under Project Thread. The weight of the
evidence behind the accusation that they were planning a dirty bomb
attack on a nuclear facility comprised of the fact that the suspects
often burned meals and one of them had a poster of airplane schematics
on his wall. All allegations were dropped and the men were released,
but not before a media juggernaut fearmongering campaign about how
Canadians in major cities were not safe.
The story also coincides with the Canadian Security Intelligence
Service's Senate demand for more funding to fight terrorism. It is
hardly beyond the pale to suggest that this is another imaginary
nightmare dreamt up in order to scare Canadian politicians into rubber
stamping a giant cash cow.
Authorities have been very keen to stress that the Internet, and the
ability of the security services to intercept e mail and web browsing
history, were key to the supposed plot. This kills two birds with one
stone - firstly drag the name of the Internet through the mud and
solidify calls for government regulation - and secondly chill Canadians
into thinking that their every cyber action is being catalogued by the
state.
Racial tension, always a boon for the police state, has increased with
reports of Mosques in Toronto being attacked. Armed tactical units of
the police are now patrolling Toronto streets.
Meanwhile in London it emerges that 250 armed police who raided a
family home in the Forest Gate area, shooting a man in the shoulder,
first smashed their way into the suspect's neighbors house, brandishing
machine guns and beating an innocent man with the gun butt as his wife
and eight-month-old baby watched in horror.
However, as the supposed chemical weapons that justified the raid are
now admitted to "not exist," the police are unapologetic in their
actions, forcefully telling Brits that this is an aspect of the new
world order that they must learn to accept.

Police planted evidence: Terrorists’
arrest in Toronto was a sting operation
by Khalid Hasan
June 6, 2006
Daily Times (Pakistan)
No evidence suspects planned to attack US
WASHINGTON: The three tonnes of ammonium nitrate found with the Totonto
terrorism suspects was planted by the police in an elaborate sting
operation.
According to Toronto Star, “Sources say investigators who had learned
of the group’s alleged plan to build a bomb were controlling the sale
and transport of the massive amount of fertiliser, a key component in
creating explosives. Once the deal was done, the RCMP-led
anti-terrorism task force moved in for the arrests.” At the news
conference held by the police, there was no mention of the sting
operation. Among the intended targets of the group, one report said,
was the Parliament in Ottawa and the headquarters of Canada’s premier
spy agency.
The 12 adults charged are: Fahim Ahmad, 21; Jahmaal James, 23; Amin
Mohamed Durrani, 19; and Steven Vikash Chand, 25, all of Toronto;
Zakaria Amara, 20; Asad Ansari, 21; Shareef Abdelhaleen, 30; Ahmad
Mustafa Ghany, 21; Saad Khalid, 19; and Qayyum Abdul Jamal, 43, all of
Mississauga; and Mohammed Dirie, 22 and Yasin Abdi Mohamed, 24. Six of
the 12 suspects lived in the Toronto suburb of Mississauga, four came
from Toronto and two from the town of Kingston in Ontario. The last two
are already in custody on a gun smuggling charge.
The police also arrested five youngsters but their identities or names
have not bee made public. At a court hearing in Toronto on Saturday,
all the suspects were produced and Canadian newspapers published
photographs of head-to-toe, black burqa clad group of women said to
belong to the one or more of the families of the men arrested. One
whose face was visible looked like a Pakistani. Several of the men,
photographed as they were being brought in police cars, were bearded.
The charges include participating in or contributing to the activity of
a terrorist group, including training and recruitment; providing or
making available property for terrorist purposes; and the commission of
indictable offences, including firearms and explosives offences for the
benefit of or in association with a terrorist group.
According to the Toronto Star report, “Anser Farooq, a lawyer who
represents five of the accused, pointed at snipers on the roof of the
courthouse and said, “This is ridiculous. They’ve got soldiers here
with guns. This is going to completely change the atmosphere. I think
the police cast their net far too wide,” he said.
According to the Globe and Mail, defence lawyer Rocco Galati, who was
representing some of the suspects, protested the intense security
measures at the court. Galati later scoffed at the allegations. “I’ve
seen fertiliser for the last eight years,” he said.
Aly Hindy, a Toronto imam, said he knew several of the accused because
they prayed at his mosque but said they were not terrorists. “The
charges are to keep George Bush happy, that’s all,” he added
sardonically. The Globe and Mail did not mention that all incriminating
evidence had been planted on the suspects.
AP adds: US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said there was no
indication that the arrested were trying to plan an attack in the
United States. “We certainly don’t believe that there’s any link to the
United States, but obviously we will follow up,” said Rice. “I think we
will get whatever information we need,” she said. “But it’s obviously a
great success for the Canadians. They’re to be congratulated for it.”

Killing Season in the Philippines:
Repression of Trade Union and Farmers
Organizations
by Herbert Docena
June 5, 2006
Asia Times Online - 2006-06-02
MANILA -- Political activist Cathy Alcantara was gunned down by
unidentified assailants last December 5, outside the resort where she
had helped to organize a conference on farmers' rights.
Two months later, the lifeless body of her activist friend, 19-year-old
Audie Lucero, was found in a remote rice field. Lucero was last seen
surrounded by police officers and soldiers in a hospital lobby,
inexplicably crying.
Annaliza Abanador-Gandia, another left-leaning activist, had frequently
marched with the two victims, often at the forefront of demonstrations
calling for various sorts of political change, including the ouster of
President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, an end to US military exercises in
the Philippines, and overhaul of the World Trade Organization's
free-trade policies.
On May 18, it was Abanador-Gandia's turn to die. It's unclear exactly
what happened, because she was alone inside her shop that night. Her
body was found slumped on a table, eight bullets through her face,
chest and stomach. The gunpowder found on her face indicated that she
had been shot at point-blank range.
All three victims were active organizers of the Movement for National
Democracy (KPD), a left-leaning umbrella grouping of trade unions,
farmers' and fishermen's organizations, and women's and youth groups,
that has seen two more of its members shot and killed in provincial
areas this year.
They are the latest victims in a creeping and escalating killing spree
of left-leaning political activists in the Philippines. Over the past
two months, at least 18 activists have been murdered by unidentified
assailants in various areas of the country - an average of two killings
per week. At no other time in the KPD's nearly 10-year history have so
many of their members been assassinated.
The KPD is just one of many left-leaning groups now under shadowy
assault. UNORKA (Ugnayan ng mga Nagsasariling Lokal na Organisasyon sa
Kanayunan, or National Coordination of Autonomous Local Rural People's
Organizations), a farmers' group that is part of the "Fight of the
Masses" coalition, is now pushing for a "transitional revolutionary
government" to replace Arroyo. So far, no fewer than 13 of UNORKA's
leaders have been killed. The group's national secretary general was
shot dead on April 24.
Task Force Mapalad (TFM), another peasants' group that has been pushing
for land reform in Visayas and Mindanao, has seen at least eight of its
farmer-leaders killed since 2001, the last one felled in May 2005. Lani
Factor, the group's campaign coordinator, refers to the escalating
violence against activists as the Philippines' "killing season".
The majority of the victims belong to the Bayan Muna group, which has
representation in parliament and which since 2001 counts as many as 95
of its local leaders inexplicably killed. Robert de Castro, the group's
secretary general, was quoted saying in the local press that local
leaders "are being killed like chickens ... They are dropping dead like
flies." [1]
Keeping track of the onslaught has not been easy. Human-rights
organizations as a rule only count those cases that are reported to
them, and each maintains separate lists. According to a running tally
by the Philippine Daily Inquirer newspaper, the latest killings bring
the total number of activists slain since Arroyo seized power in 2001
to 224. The human-rights group Karapatan estimates that figure much
higher, at 601. Nearly all of the cases remain unresolved. An
additional 140 activists are considered "disappeared" and remain
missing. [2] And the number is growing by the week.
Trouble in the provinces
Fallen activist Abanador-Gandia's province falls under the command of
Major-General Jovito Palparan, the most controversial military official
in the Philippines. Widely dubbed "the executioner" by his critics,
Palparan stands accused of perpetrating a rash of killings and
disappearances of leftist activists during his previous postings in
Samar and Mindoro provinces.
He has consistently denied the charges, saying on record, "I can smile
and laugh about it." At the same time, he has also gone on record to
say that the extrajudicial killings are "helping" the armed forces of
the Philippines get rid of those who instigate people to fight against
the government. [3] To him, the deaths of activists are just "small
sacrifices" in the military's anti-insurgency campaign. [4]
"We've got to hate the movement," Palparan said in a recent interview
with Newsbreak magazine. "We've got to have that fighting stand." [5]
Palparan's provocative statements have caused a lightning rod of
criticism. But increasingly, his is not a lone voice in the wilderness.
His military superiors have a quiet way of expressing their agreement
with Palaparan's tactics: through promotion. Palparan is elevating
through the military's ranks and was recently bestowed the
Distinguished Service Star medal for his "eminently meritorious and
valuable service".
Government executive secretary Eduardo Ermita, himself a former
military official, has hailed Palparan as a "good officer", saying his
detractors automatically blame him for violent incidents without
corroborating evidence.
Yet Palparan's fighting mood reflects a growing edginess in the
military. "The enemy that we confronted more than three decades ago is
the same enemy that we are confronting today, only more scheming and
obviously much more dangerous," wrote Lieutenant-General Romeo
Dominguez in his recent book Trinity of War: The Grand Design of the
CPP/NPA/NDF (Communist Party of the Philippines/New People's
Army/National Democratic Front).
Published by the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP), the book has
become one of the military's "know your enemy" guidebooks, as indicated
in a recent military Powerpoint presentation produced by the AFP top
brass and circulated among soldiers. The volume discusses how the
leftist movement has evolved since the late 1940s, how the Communist
Party of the Philippines (CPP) took over its mantle beginning in the
1960s, and how it has morphed and splintered along ideological and
tactical lines since the 1980s.
Complete with tables and flow charts, the book includes a comprehensive
list of what it calls the "communist terrorists' legal sectoral front
organizations" - down to the provincial level - including the names and
top leaders of those groups that have broken away from the CPP's
mainstream or that have only emerged in recent years.
Despite all the attention given to the Abu Sayyaf rebel movement in
past years, "the single greatest threat to the Philippine state
continues to come from the CPP/NPA", concludes Zachary Abuza, an expert
with the congressionally funded US Institute of Peace, who has studied
the various leftist and Moro secessionist groups fighting against the
government in the Philippines. [6]
This threat has not been lost on the military and right-wing
politicians, who have grown increasingly alarmed by the left's
resurgence. The strength of the NPA was estimated at about 25,000
fighters during the martial-law period in the 1970s, dwindled to about
8,000 in the 1990s, and is reportedly on the upswing again.
In recent months, the NPA has launched a series of military offensives
across the country. Apart from the NPA, a number of smaller left-wing
armed groups operate in remote provincial areas.
The Philippines' right has also been spooked by the left's recent
success in democratic elections. When the formal institutions of
democracy were restored after the 1986 "people power" uprising, the
left was split between those who still saw the armed struggle as
primary and those who wanted to contest power through electoral
processes. The CPP initially boycotted the general elections that paved
the way for Corazon Aquino's presidency.
While carrying on with what it calls the "protracted people's war", the
CPP eventually decided to participate after the introduction of the
party-list system, a measure that reserved a portion of seats in
Congress to under-represented and marginalized sectors of society.
Other leftist groups have abandoned armed struggle altogether, choosing
to focus on elections and public campaigns to bring about political
change.
In the last elections, left-leaning candidates won 11 of the 24
party-list seats filled. Though this proportion represents little more
than 5% of the total national vote, the left's visibility in public
debates has been disproportionately high compared with their actual
number of parliamentary seats. On the streets, where in the Philippines
political battles are frequently waged, only the broad left has been
able consistently to mobilize people, albeit on a limited scale.
Military official Palparan has promised to "completely clear his area
of responsibility of rebels before he retires in September this year".
[7] It is a vow endorsed by the country's top civilian defense
official, Avelino Cruz, who has also said that the "communist
insurgency" can be defeated in "six to 10 years". [8]
Cruz is confident that this goal could be attained through the
ambitious Philippine Defense Reform Program, a comprehensive plan to
modernize and upgrade the capacity of the armed forces to conduct
"internal security operations".
Intensifying its long-running involvement in the Philippines'
counter-insurgency campaign, the United States jointly designed the
Philippine Defense Reform Program with the Philippine military and is
funding half of its $370 million budget. Washington has designated the
CPP/NPA and the Alex Boncayao Brigade, a group that broke away from the
NPA, as "foreign terrorist organizations".
But while the military has always considered the armed leftist groups
to be a major military threat, and offensives and counter-offensives
were launched way before Arroyo took office, there has recently been
one significant shift in the mindset of key military officials: an
increasing refusal to distinguish between armed and unarmed leftists,
between those who are in the underground guerrilla movement and those
who are in the open legal struggle. The boundary, at least in the eyes
of certain military and civilian officials, simply does not exist.
This attitude is best summed up by Palparan's stock reply whenever he's
reminded that the activists who are killed are unarmed and participate
in legal mass organizations: "They're legal but they're doing illegal
activities." [9] The decision to decriminalize the communists in 1994
was a bad idea, says Palparan, adding that he would be "happy" to have
it restored. The Trinity of War stresses - in bold typeface - that,
while the CPP still considers parliamentary struggles secondary to the
armed struggle, both struggles are "complementary, interrelated, and
interactive".
Meanwhile, Palparan has said that his anti-insurgency campaign "had not
yet gone full blast".
Evolution, not revolution
This outlook is shared by the civilian leadership. "We encourage
communism as well as socialism as a party just like those in Europe,"
said presidential chief of staff Michael Defensor. "What we do not want
is when they preach armed revolution."
According to National Security Adviser Norberto Gonzales, "What we are
fighting today is no longer the classic guerrilla warfare. They have
infiltrated and entered our democratic process." He has railed against
how the left's elected parliamentarians are taking advantage of their
office to advance the revolution. He has constantly complained about
how Bayan Muna members "moonlight" as NPA fighters and how they are, to
paraphrase Palparan, straddling both sides of what the government
defines to be legal and illegal activities.
'We hate communists'
It's obviously a charge that those who have been killed will not have
the opportunity to contest. Most of the victims belonged to legal
leftist or left-leaning organizations enumerated in the AFP's list of
alleged "front" organizations. As a recent Amnesty International report
puts it, "Increased killing in particular provinces were reportedly
linked to the public labeling of leftist groups as NPA front
organizations by local AFP commanders."
Prior to activist Abanador-Gandia's killing, for instance, police and
military officials in Bataan had ominously told KPD members, "We
already know who you are. We know who's really behind you. We know all
of you."
Other activists belong to organizations that are locked in bitter land
disputes with powerful landlords who, aided by the state's tacit
consent or lack of political will, have historically used thugs to
eliminate peasants pushing for land reform. With their lands now
subject to expropriation, these landlords, said TFM campaign
coordinator Factor, have been acting like "mad, rabid dogs unleashed".
Most of the killings are concentrated in areas of increased
militarization and intensified counter-insurgency operations. In
Palparan's Central Luzon, more than 50 leftists have been killed, or
nearly a quarter of the total 224 killings compiled by the Philippine
Daily Inquirer. In that region, the military has embedded itself in
10-man detachments in various villages, conducting door-to-door
interrogations and nightly patrols.
They have even taken to organizing anti-communist workshops and
mobilizing protest rallies in support of the military. Participants of
these rallies say they were told to make placards saying, "We hate
communists." Negros, where a number of the killings are concentrated,
is another province where the military has launched what the region's
military chief, Lieutenant-General Samuel Bagasin has described as
"decisive operations".
The victims are apparently not chosen at random. Almost all of those
that have been executed are known leaders or organizers who actively
worked on the ground and recruited new members into their
organizations. The operations are in most cases surgical and well
targeted. And while provincial and municipal-level organizers were
being picked off, national leaders are also being persecuted.
Facing rebellion charges, at least one congressman from Anakpawis
remains in detention, while five others camped out in Congress for two
months to elude arrest. Justice Secretary Raul Gonzales has told them
to "go back to the mountains where they belong", [10] an allusion to
where the CPP has historically pitched its base camps.
Activist Factor suspects that the calculated elimination of the upper
echelons of his organization is an attempt to terrorize members and
scare off potential recruits in the hope of slowly debilitating the
movement. One local columnist has called it a "kill one, scare 100"
tactic. [11] That the activists are not being killed en masse, but
rather at a slow-motion rate of one every other day, seems calculated
to maximize the chilling effect while also minimizing public outrage.
In a number of cases, witnesses have pointed directly to uniformed
soldiers, policemen, or known paramilitary or vigilante groups as the
assailants. In many other cases, the victims were shot dead by a pair
of motorcycle-riding masked men.
Observers point out that this manner of killing is reminiscent of the
period in the late 1980s when, at the height of the "total war" waged
by the Aquino government against the left, masked motorcycle-riding men
also shot and killed activists across the country. According to the
human-rights group Task Force Detainees of the Philippines, up to 585
were killed during that orgy of extrajudicial violence.
Proud human-rights record
Now, the government publicly views the widespread killing of activists
as just a sad coincidence. There is no set pattern and the killings are
unrelated, officials contend. Accusations against state security
officials are routinely shrugged off.
A police spokesman has claimed that if there's any pattern at all, it's
just part of the normal crime-rate cycle. "Sometimes it falls,
sometimes it goes up," Philippine National Police spokesman Samuel
Pagdilao was quoted as saying about the spate of activist killings.
[12]
State officials have repeatedly insisted that there's no
state-sanctioned crackdown on activists. "We have nothing to hide
about, and we are proud of our human-rights record," press secretary
Ignacio Bunye recently said. Earlier, Arroyo called accusations of
human-rights violations "an insult" to the military.
Other high-ranking officials have claimed that if anyone is to blame,
it's the activists themselves. According to this view, the revolution
is once again devouring its own children - just as it did in the 1980s
when, in an operation that has since been acknowledged by the CPP
leadership, at least 2,000 party members were ordered killed as
suspected government infiltrators.
But those on the left no longer aligned with the CPP and who have been
openly critical of its anti-infiltration campaign have come out to
dismiss this charge as both opportunistic and ludicrous. Robert Francis
Garcia, secretary general of the Peace Advocates for Truth, Healing and
Justice, an organization of survivors, relatives and friends of victims
of the CPP's past internal purge, believes that the government is
"capitalizing on the issue to hammer down the CPP/NPA".
Garcia points out that the manner by which the CPP's infamous purge was
carried out then bears little resemblance to how activists are being
killed nowadays. Then, Garcia recalls, suspected infiltrators were
arrested, detained and interrogated by party agents - they were not
executed summarily in public as is happening now.
Even an officially constituted police task force has recently
identified soldiers and paramilitary forces as suspects in at least
some of the killings. [13] The normally timid Commission on Human
Rights (CHR), an independent constitutional body, has stated that the
"pattern of complaints that come to us show members of the armed forces
and the PNP [Philippine National Police] as suspects". Assuming that
the government is not behind the many unresolved killings, the
commission points out that it still has a duty to solve and prevent
them.
Unfortunately, for many of the cases, there are no smoking guns, and
the masterminds are not in the habit of giving receipts to their hired
assassins. But even a cursory survey of the killings over recent months
makes it difficult to avoid the conclusion that there is an ongoing
systematic and deliberate mission to terrorize - if not exterminate -
the left being carried out by those who have both the motive and means
to do so.
Even if one assumes that a portion of the killings could be explained
away as the result of personal grudges or of turf wars among different
armed leftist factions, the vast majority of the cases paint an
alarming pattern.
A poor record
Arroyo's administration is turning out to be the most repressive regime
in the Philippines since Ferdinand Marcos' corrupt authoritarian rule.
According to the Task Force Detainees of the Philippines, about 3,400
people were killed and more than 700 disappeared during Marcos' 14-year
dictatorship.
According to Senator Manny Villar, citing figures provided by the CHR,
Arroyo's five-year term has already eclipsed all three previous
presidents' combined 11-year tenure in terms of the number of people
executed, tortured, or illegally detained.
This is not to say that all was well before Arroyo came to power.
Previous administrations also tallied their fair share of rights
violations. But as Max de Mesa, the Philippine Alliance of Human Rights
Advocates chair and longtime human-rights activist, points out, the
total number of cases of rights violations under Arroyo should not be
compared as separate from those of her predecessors.
Arroyo's government, he says, is still obliged to resolve those past
violations - something her government has so far wholly failed to do.
As such, the totals under the previous regimes should be added to that
under Arroyo, he contends.
At the beginning of Arroyo's term, most of the victims were Muslim
civilians, who were often rounded up and detained in droves, caught up
in the government's US-backed "war on terror". In one particularly
shocking episode, caught live on national television in March last
year, the country's highest-ranking security officials, with apparent
approval from the president, supervised the storming of a prison after
suspected Abu Sayyaf leaders being held there mounted an uprising.
Despite being unarmed and secured against a wall, 26 detainees were
shot dead. Human-rights groups called the incident a "massacre" and the
CHR has since endorsed their recommendation to file murder charges
against the officials.
In heavily militarized Sulu in the southern Philippines, where the
military has been pursuing the Abu Sayyaf group, there have been
numerous allegations of serious human-rights violations by the armed
forces, including the February 2005 massacre of a family, which finally
provoked the Moro National Liberation Front to recommence attacking
government forces.
Disappearances, beheadings, and summary executions have once again
become the norm in the area. But the government's documented abuses
have not been given the same attention as the atrocities committed by
the Abu Sayyaf.
Perhaps the clearest demonstration of the government's failure to
protect and guarantee civil liberties has been the unbridled killing of
journalists. Freedom of the press has never come at a higher price for
at least 42 journalists who have been killed since Arroyo took power -
or about half of the estimated 79 killed since 1986. This record
prompted the US-based Committee to Protect Journalists to rank the
Philippines in 2005 as the "most murderous" country for journalists in
the world next to Iraq. Some have contested that label, saying the
country is in a league of its own; Iraq, after all, is a war zone.
While local bosses and criminal elements, and not state agents, are
likely to be behind many of the journalists' killings, the government's
tepid response shows its inability - or unwillingness - to protect the
press.
Instead of working to bring the killers to justice, Secretary of
Justice Raul Gonzales has recently suggested that media practitioners
should arm themselves in self-defense. He also implied that the
killings may have nothing to do with press freedom. "There are media
men killed in drinking sprees or because of a woman," Gonzalez recently
said.
While human-rights violations have steadily mounted, the situation has
taken a sharp turn for the worse after Arroyo, facing widespread calls
for her ouster from across the political spectrum, began to use more
brazenly coercive measures to retain her grip on power. For instance,
she has banned public demonstrations and authorized the use of force to
disperse them. She has gagged public officials from testifying in
congressional hearings.
Finally, on February 24, she declared a "state of national emergency".
This was interpreted by police and military officials as carte blanche
to conduct arrests without warrants and to raid and intimidate media
entities. While the "state of emergency" was quickly lifted - and was
recently declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court - human-rights
violations have not stopped; rather, they have spiked.
Last week, five leaders of the Union of the Masses for Democracy and
Justice (UMDJ), a group identified with imprisoned former president
Joseph Estrada, were abducted in broad daylight - not in the
countryside but in the capital Manila - and were missing for about two
days. Pressed whether the military had arrested the UMDJ leaders,
executive secretary Eduardo Ermita denied the allegations and
emphatically repeated the government's standard line, "They are
automatically pointing at the administration as the culprit, which is
unfair."
But only two hours later, a military spokesperson confirmed that the
five were indeed arrested and detained by intelligence agents. It was
the same military spokesperson who, just the day before, also disavowed
any knowledge of the five's whereabouts. Accused of being NPA
infiltrators plotting to assassinate the president and a number of
cabinet members, the detainees were later released because of
"insufficient evidence".
Such cases illustrate that the state is conducting commando-style
operations against activists and casts doubts on its claims that it has
not been involved in unresolved killings and disappearances.
Thinking about a new revolution
In many ways, the recent wave of killings is a tragic reprise of
previous episodes in Philippine history. In 1946, leftist legislators
were also expelled from Congress and driven to the mountains. Death
squads stalked the Philippines' countryside in the early 1950s and late
1980s. Newspaper offices were routinely padlocked by the government
during periods of martial law. State-sponsored disappearances gave
birth to a generation of orphans and widows.
The escalating repression taking place now in the Philippines is no
coincidence. Twenty years since the end of the dictatorship and three
"people's power" uprisings later, Philippine society is hugely
polarized.
If the recent killing spree signifies anything, it's that the growing
coercion and the abandonment of democratic rights portend the fraying
of the post-1986 political order, when the dictator Marcos was
unceremoniously thrown from power and democracy restored. What will
replace those democratic hopes, more than at any time in recent years,
is a point of bitter political contention.
The political crisis triggered by charges of electoral fraud and
corruption against Arroyo have brought these divisions clearly out in
the open. In one camp are those who want to salvage and carry on with
what academics like to call "oligarchic democracy" or "low-intensity
democracy", where ballots are universally assured but food, jobs and
housing are not.
On the other side of the debate are those who are struggling to move
beyond limited democracy and are working to change the system from both
above and underground. Over the past few months, these two sides have
failed to oust Arroyo and now face an impasse.
But as the intensifying militarization and repression signify, another
camp has moved to break the stalemate. Those who seek to roll back
democracy and push the country toward a more authoritarian, albeit
nominally democratic, system are again in the ascendant and clearly on
the offensive.
For the ruling elites and conservatives from 1986, the formal
institutions of democracy - free and fair elections, a free press, the
protection and promotion of civil liberties - were then seen as the
most effective way to maintain their hold on power and wealth.
But as the Philippines' massive marginalized population has
increasingly employed these institutions to challenge the status quo,
sections of the ruling class and military appear to have come to the
conclusion that democracy is a double-edged sword. Low-intensity
democracy is once again giving way to low-intensity warfare in the
Philippines, while being "underground" has taken on its old meaning.
"Nothing has changed," said Lorena Paras, a former guerrilla fighter
with the NPA who surrendered to the government in 1997 and now tries to
live a quiet life at the foot of the Bataan Mountains. And yet for her,
in reality so much has changed: last September, she personally
witnessed uniformed military men drag away her husband, also a former
NPA rebel.
His name has been added to the new list of the disappeared, and she,
most likely, to the list of new widows. Lorena says wistfully that her
thoughts have increasingly returned to the revolution she only recently
left behind.

then we must note at least a third force within the contention for
dominance in the US--e.g., around twenty years ago the chief executive

that as a Protestant he could go no higher in the organization because
to get to the top one had to be a Catholic. And I assume he meant a

Hasbara: Blame it on the Wasps.
A Review of Stephen Zunes 'The Israel Lobby: How Powerful is it
Really?'
Published May 18, 2006=20
Updated June 4, 2006
America's Ruling Establishment.
Over the last four decades a succession of America administrations have
sent the Jews-only state in Palestine (Jos) a vast treasure chest: well
over $140 billion in 2003 dollars. According to Stephen Zunes in his
essay, The Israel Lobby: How Powerful is it Really? America's ruling
elite sees the Jos as its colony or client state. It lavishly funds the
Jos to pursue its strategic interests in the Middle East.=20
Zunes implies this ruling elite consists of Wasps, "these influential
and (mostly) wealthy, white, Anglo-Saxon, Protestant lawmakers ..."
(Stephen Zunes 'The Israel Lobby: How Powerful is it Really? May 16,
2006). According to Zunes, Wasps have created the world's sole military
hyper power and run what is increasingly looking like an American
empire. American Jews are mere supplicants to the court of the Wasp
emperors and the Jos is an American colony more or less wholly
dependent on America for its survival. If the Jos doesn't obey Wasps'
orders, it won't be rewarded, and it won't survive. In other words, the
Jos is no different from any other American colony such as Honduras.
Zunes argues that neither the Jos nor the Jews-only lobby in America
(Jol)[i] is powerful enough to extract such monies if it wasn't in the
interests of America's ruling Wasp elite.
There is little doubt that, up to the second world war, America's
ruling elite consisted primarily of Wasps. But, thereafter, American
Jews have become increasingly wealthy and politically powerful. Whilst
there are still many Wasps amongst America's ruling establishment, it
is currently dominated by American Jews. They own or manage a
significant part of America's economy.. They own, manage, and run, most
of America's media. They finance, and predominate in, some of America's
most prestigious universities. Although American Jewish billionaires
are only a minority amongst America's wealthiest people, they are by
far and away the most politically active. They fund a variety of
organizations in order to convert their wealth into political power to
achieve their political objectives. They have established more think
tanks and lobbying organizations than any other lobby group in America
- a remarkable achievement given that American Jews compose only 2-3%
of America's population. They fund American political parties not
merely the Republican and Democratic parties but even the country's
smaller parties. American Jews also predominate in all of these
parties. A major component of America's ruling establishment is what is
commonly referred to as the military industrial complex. Zunes implies
firstly, that this complex is run entirely by Wasps even though he
presents no evidence it is. And, secondly, that the political power of
the complex derives from being America's biggest industry. This may
have been the case in the past but no longer. America's biggest
industry is the media and entertainment industry which is dominated by
American Jews.
Since the second world war, America's Jewish elite has succeeded in
persuading/pressuring/bribing a succession of American administrations
into supporting the Jos on a number of critical occasions. Over time,
these victories have become increasingly frequent and increasingly
beneficial to the Jos until, after the Pentagon and New York bombings,
the dominance of America's Jewish elite slid almost imperceptibly into
position as America's ruling elite. America is now ruled by a Jewish
elite consisting of Jewish billionaires, Jewish media owners, Jewish
dominated academic institutions, Jewish run think tanks, Jewish
dominated political parties, Jewish dominated state legislatures,
Jewish owned Congress, and the huge proportion of American Jews in the
Bush administration.[ii]
The increasing domination of American Jews over America's economy and
political system explains a number of critical political developments.
Firstly, that America's defence and foreign policies have all been
imported, primarily by American Jews, from the Jos. Secondly, the
extraordinary transformation of the Jos's enemies into America's
enemies even though they pose no threat to America nor even to American
interests in the Middle East. "With the assault on Iraq," wrote the
distinguished historian, David Hirst, "the U.S.. was not merely
adopting Israel's long-established methods - of initiative, offense and
pre-emption - ; it was also adopting Israel's adversaries as its
own..." (quoted in Jeffrey Blankfort 'A War for Israel'
http://www.leftcurve.org/LC28WebPag Apriles/WarForIsrael. html
2004).[iii]
Finally, the vast donations that American Jews have been able to
extract from successive American administrations. Today these donations
have become tribute payments that the Jos, with the aid of America's
ruling Jewish elite, extracts from its American colony. These tribute
payments ensure the Jos's military supremacism not only in the Middle
East but around much of the rest of the world.
Over the last sixty years, the growth in the economic, social,
political, and cultural, power of American Jews has been phenomenal.
This has fostered the equally phenomenal rise in the military and
political power of the Jos. The Jos did not exist in early 1948 but is
now commonly regarded as the fourth most powerful military in the
world. "Israel has become a military superpower in its own right. Its
army and air force rival those of the major European countries, and it
has become the world's fourth largest nuclear power, despite never
signing the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty." (Jeff Halper 'Israel as
an Extension of American Empire'
http://www.counterpunch.org/ November 7th 2005).halper11072005. html
American Jews' control over the American political system gives them
dominance, but not yet total dominance, over America's military hyper
power. The Jos, America's ruling Jewish elite, and the Jewish elite in
many western countries including Russia, compose a global Jewish elite
which runs a Jewish empire for the benefit of this elite and its
headquarters in the Jos.

Subject: SHUT UP AND TAKE YOUR DRUGS
SHUT UP AND TAKE YOUR DRUGS
By Mary Starrett
August 22, 2004
NewsWithViews.com
President George W. Bush's New Freedom Commission on Mental Health is
pushing for nationwide screening based on a similar program created
while he was governor of Texas.
One of the main goals of the president's commission is to ensure
"early mental health of young children, improve and expand school
mental health programs, screen for mental disorders in primary health
care, across the life span and connect to treatment and supports."
The Bush administration, long tied in an unholy, generational alliance
with the pharmaceutical companies, hopes to pattern this massive effort
to get more Americans on drugs after the Texas Medical Algorithm
Project (TMAP) in effect since 1995. This summer the British Medical
Journal, daring to do what no U.S. publication would do, showed the
connection between the pharmaceutical industry and the dangers
associated with the TMAP program. Investigators and medical
professionals were fired for calling attention to the abuses (including
patient deaths) associated with TMAP. Under TMAP it was not unusual for
some people to be placed on more than five psychiatric drugs at
once.[1]
What will happen under this national push to gain more market share for
the drug companies? As with TMAP, people refusing drugs for what are
diagnosed as a wide array of "disorders" can expect not only to be
forced to take powerful and extremely dangerous neuroleptics, but also
to receive shock treatment.
Sound like something out of "Cuckoos Nest"? Electro Convulsive Therapy
or ECT is alive and well and sparking fear in the hearts of Americans
each and every day. While you might think this Frankenstein-like
"treatment" is a relic of the dark, dank asylums of the past, think
again. Forced ECT happens here. It is an all too- often- used modality
for "severely" depressed people. And get this- virtually every state
has loopholes allowing shock therapy and drugs to be administered over
the objections of the "patient". (A note here; psychiatric
professionals have long railed against the term "person" or "consumer"
when referring to those they deem to need their "medical" attention.)
Bush policy advisor on the New Freedom Commission, and his appointee on
the Center for Mental Health Services National Advisory Council,
psychiatrist Sally Satel has stated "coercive treatment" is essential.
Satel, never one to oppose giving shrinks the power to do extreme
mental makeovers on people, shows just how chilling the climate in this
administration is getting by adding there's an "overemphasis" on
patient "rights" that "people need to be protected from themselves" and
that often "coercion" is essential.[2]
Yikes.
Bush's advisor Satel adds this horrifying hint at her "Me Doctor- You
Subject" mentality when she adds: "My capacity as a physician has often
been frustrated by laws that prevent me from doing my job". This is the
type of influence that makes the president's New Freedom Commission on
Mental Health one of his worst civil and human rights abuses to date.
And that's saying something. (I wonder whether Satel (or Bush for that
matter) ever read that reference in the Bill of Rights to " the right
of the people to be secure in their persons…."?)
This plan by the Bush administration to test all Americans for "mental
illness"(just imagine all the ways that could be defined!) hasn't gone
unnoticed by those whose lives have been made "chemical hell"[3]
through forced psychiatric drugging. MindFreedom International, an
umbrella group for over 100 advocacy groups says the New Freedom
Commission has got to be stopped. They think this is nothing but a plan
"cooked up" by the pharmaceutical companies. Group director David Oakes
says "we demand President Bush start (the screening) with himself. We
will provide the mental health professional to do the screening". As a
matter of fact they have secured the professional services of just such
a professional. Patch Adams. The real one. The Virginia medical doctor
who's life story was made into a popular movie starring Robin Williams
said " I'll see him for free".
The president's plan to track down people(especially kids and teens)
looking for "emotional" and "mental" problems only gets more terrifying
when you add new drug-delivery technologies to the mix.
University of Pensylvania professor and psychiatrist Steven Seigel has
developed an implant for time releasing neuroleptic, antipsychotic
medications like Haldol. The device, the size of a quarter, if approved
and marketed could replace the locked wards of the mental institutions
with what has been called a "chemical straitjacket". Imagine, added to
the president's mental health screening plan, an inch-wide implant that
can deliver- for periods up to a year- powerful mind-numbing drugs that
are reported to cause structural brain damage[4] ( Seigel was asked to
implant himself with the device and drug Haldol for a year. He
reportedly just smiled and turned away). Inherently coercive, these
drugs and their time release delivery systems eclipse even the most
far-fetched mind control conspiracy theories out there.
The implant is now being pitched to the FDA as a method of delivering
the drug Haldol. A few of Haldol's side effects include confusion,
disorientation, blurred vision, worsening glaucoma, facial tics,
jitters and drug-induced Parkinsonism.[5] It is a drug that has been
described by former(forced) users as " torture".
Implant inventor Seigel says his device is intended to "empower
patients to relieve them of the burden of having to remember to take
their drugs". Why keep this good old American ingenuity all to
ourselves? The good Doc Seigel has his sights set on selling the
implant to "developing countries worldwide." Another special American
gift to the underprivileged of the world, I suppose. And just think of
the places it would go! Prisons! Daycare Centers! Nursing Homes!
Yes, indeed, the current administration is hell-bent on funding the
ever-expanding use of mind-controlling, mind-numbing drugs. Your money
will now go to fund hundreds of millions of dollars MORE for mental
health schemes than last year's budget allowed for. [6] The American
Psychiatric Association (which, by the way just LOVES what Bush is
doing with your money!) boasts of the increase in funding which, of
course , translates into more money for them and their pharmaceutical
buddies, in their July issue of Advocacy News. The publication also
mentions that the Bush administration is "appreciative" of their
efforts to quash mass media's coverage of the negative aspects and
abuses inherent in the New Freedom Commission.
I'll leave you with the words of psychiatrist-inventor Steven Seigel:
"There is still a segment of the population that has a profound
mistrust of psychiatry. We need people to understand that we are not
trying to do things to them but do things for them".

It's time to really organize Peoples. Many might come
out of the closet if there is a sign of strength in
numbers.
This is the key. Numbers of people that are
sick and tired of the corruption and falsely justified
wars. Here we see the draft is back up for a vote
thanks to Charlie the two faced Rangle democrat Rat
traitor that he is.

To many of these false faced politicians in power.
This is the problem. If we get to the election, we
need honest people running with long checkable
background records of community service behind them.
None should be elected that belong to any private
groups or organizations IE, CFR, Bildabergers,
Tri-Lats and high grade masons in General. They all
cow-tow to a higher power called Mammon!
We are moving into "Taking back America" Plan B.
It is time to force the truth into ANY politicians
face that has passed the pre-screening background
check, and force the 911 issue into the battle front
of politics. Force it into every one of their faces.
No dodging this issue. Who ever runs on the campaign
of Immediately Impeaching and Prosecuting ALL THOSE
involved in the 9/11 Event should be elected no matter
what party they are from. They must be found out now
and fully supported with all the energy the groups can
manifest. The future winners MUST speak out loudly
about this issue. The Truth will empower who ever
takes up its Holy Flag. If only there was a strong
Uniting behind any third party. Any party that does
not cow-tow to the globalistic new world order of
bankster luciferians and satanists.
These are two new things to already come from Chicago.
We must get these publications.
This is a book the will blow the lid off the media
complicity in the 911 cover up. Gotta love it!!! It's
not out yet, but here is the best source:
http://www.overstock.com/cgi- bin/d2.cgi? PAGE=PRODUCT& PROD_ID=1998108& cid=64664& f\
p=F
And we MUST GET issues 10 and 11 if possible. Several
copies to copy and distribute. Time is ticking
for the awakening and the taking back of America
peacefully.
http://www.globaloutlook.ca/
So there you go. Get DVDs, books, and these magazines,
and then stick them in the faces of all the
prospective candidates and thereafter question them on
their view points of this huge issue. There is too
much evidence to not be able to bury them all in it.
Dedication ladies, is an everyday walk. We
are fighting for our Country and this is a FACT!!!
We must heat up the awareness of the group to heat up
ANY politician that thinks they want to run for
office. Sticking the 911 info into the faces of ALL
THOSE running for office is the next God sent idea. If
we wake them all up, they can use this issue to win
the election.
Some democrat says---I WILL VOTE IMMEDIATELY TO
IMPEACH AND INCARCERATE ALL THOSE INVOLVED WITH 9/11
RIGHT NOW AND BRING ALL THE TROOPS HOME STAT! WE WILL
HAVE JUSTICE THE FIRST DAY AFTER THE ELECTION,
PERIOD!! NOTHING LESS IS ACCEPTABLE!!!
Yaaayyyyyyyy sez the people.
We must all organize and focus on this project.
Project--Stick in Their Faces!
Give thanks to God for the Guidance.
This is the way.....

***SOS***Jane Fonda was no traitor & other URGENT matters needing Pa
Posted by: "MarshaMcClelland" mofmars3@sbcglobal.net marshamcclelland
Tue Jun 6, 2006 11:16 am (PST)
***SOS***Jane Fonda was no traitor & other URGENT matters needing
Patriot Atten.
I was checking back to see what I missed in the groups when the
hacker had me down and I saw this about Jane Fonda being a traitor
(((Again)))
I had just written a reply to a new group I joined and it was, in
part, about Jane...It applies here...I have revised it and left out
parts
There's important third party information here which may be all we
have left to save us from the broken system and monster now operating
There's information about the government suppressing alternative
energy resources and a word about Alex Merklinger from Mysteries of
the Mind Radio
Included is what our wonderful Veterans are doing, and a whole lot
more, so please bear with the length and read it all...
There's military and law enforcement information and instruction
here that you need get to your local sheriff in case there's any
left uneducated out there
We need be sure as many as possible know truth and educate others so
they'll know which way to point their guns should the plans of the
corrupt continue to plague "US"
I think I'll post this at all the groups because it's not fair Jane
is consistently attacked by these lies and the other info embedded
here needs be repeated, too
Yep...I'm sending this one to the media and elected officials
too...I sure hope that hacker doesn't start back up, as usual, after
I do a blitz of truth, to the big guys and gals
Please...when you see others falling for this old crap about Jane
Fonda...Please tell them the truth
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~
Okay...Nobody get mad please when I tell the facts about Jane Fonda
as I know them
I go by gut feelings and combined with all the research I've
done on Jane Fonda, I know I'm correct about what I'll tell you
Back when Vietnam happened I was still asleep...I didn't know the
truth behind that war or anything about it until it was over and I
heard about Jane
I do remember feeling very sad and scared for the brother of my best
friend in uniform ready to deploy to Vietnam when he proposed to me
on my porch and I was only sixteen...I thought he was so brave to go
off and risk his life for all of us...He was soooo handsome in that
uniform...He was better looking than Elvis and I almost wanted to
tell him yes
But I couldn't at that time...I had heard he was okay, happily and
thankfully
I did see him in a grocery store a few years back with his little
family...Still handsome, too
I chose another Vietnam vet to marry, who by the way, could pass for
Jane's brother, Peter Fonda
I kid you not...Twins...It was really strange to see Peter Fonda's
movies after the divorce, they looked that much alike...
Roger lives in Youngstown, he's 58 and his Dad was a wealthy man due
to the government paying him to keep his invention off the market
It was a devise that made oil obsolete that he was allowed to use on
his own vehicle, only
My ex's whole name is Roger Alan Cleary for reference if anyone
ever wants to call him on this matter and follow through on the fact
of Roger's Dad's patent being a paid sham on the governments part
It was a short marriage...He was a mason and would not share info
with me about what that meant after I found the ring and paper work
The secretive way he shunned me hurt and was unacceptable
So right away the trust was killed for me
Sorry guys...I can't seem to write short briefs to get to my
points...There always seems to be so many that pop up, I want to
share
Jane Fonda was my hero from the moment I awoke to the facts of that
war and that she had a lot to do with helping end it
She still is my hero, especially, because I know and feel how hard
it was and still is for her but it didn't stop her from activism and
speaking out...And thank goodness she's still brave and did speak
out against this war, too
She did all she did
from her heart and beliefs
I just listened to her new book and as I did I knew, I knew her so
well...She narrated the book herself
Very honest in that book but damn if I would willingly tell some of
what she did on herself in personal things
The part she told about when she saw her brother Peter peeing in the
snow to spell his name and she tried it in frustration as a pre-
schooler...To me this was very telling about her in early character
I could just envision that act and her frustration too...lol...She
always had to compete...Always, until it hurt...The inferiority she
felt was very evident to me and all who care to look closely
I really can feel things others feel a lot of the time...Even when
someone around me should become embarrassed I can actually share
their emotions and hurt for them
The vibes coming from Jane were very strong, indeed
I really would prefer not to tune in to others emotions because
although it helps me read them and discern...It hurts a lot of the
time and goes very deep, even to animals
I'll admit it's so bad that I don't even like to be given flowers
because once they're cut, they die
I could say more on this matter but will save you from the
details...I guess I am very strange indeed...Takes all kinds, you
know?
I know something about Jane that is not written anywhere that I've
seen...It's mostly a gut thing..."She is neurotic"...A little
emotionally unbalanced...Very shaky in the self confidence
department...I can hear all this in her voice and see it in her body
language too...She seems to even tremble at times in voice as well
as in body
IMHO, maybe due in part to people always mistaking her kindness for
stupidity and combined with low self esteem
She lives across and down the road from a dear friend of mine who is
one third owner of the WTP_U group and movement I founded
"We The People United Movement"
We are many Political and Patriot Groups joining together, to help
right the wrongs in America..."United We Will Stand"
WETHEPEOPLE_UNITED
http://groups.yahoo.com/ group/WETHEPEOPL E_UNITED/
He's too busy to be at our forum but his wife Ardeth stands in for
him and is co-owner...His radio broadcast hit so many countries, I
have lost count and many here in the US linked up
That would be the illustrious Alex Merklinger from
Mysteriesofthemind.com...I've shared this about Jane being possibly
emotionally unbalanced with Alex when I learned she lived by him in
Santa Fe New Mexico, a while back
He's off the air at the moment but should be back soon...His
daughter is very ill and you can read about it at his home
page...Please pray for their family and if you're not a believer,
please send good thoughts
Sorry, I got off on a tangent again...That was important, though
Jane lives right there and Alex had never spoke to her because she's
never showed herself...Like a hermit
My mother was sort of a hermit and I see this as part of mental
illness
No big deal or put down as I believe many or maybe even all of us
have it in differing degrees or at specific times
Concerning the recent interview Jane did...I saw that interview
She said she "did" use very bad judgment in that pose with the
gun...that's
it...She got caught up in the moment and that was taken advantage of
If there were one thing in her past she could change, I bet it would
be that one huge mistake
This article of Jane being honored by Barbara Walters has been
circulating the net forever and it's completely bogus
She did not do that with the soldiers social security numbers...She
did not betray them
As far as the rumor she called them baby killers to their faces
goes...(There was something to that effect said at that time but was
taken very much out of context)...many have felt that way, though
But...Those that know truth, understand that our soldiers were
deceived, too...Most were innocent and there in Vietnam, in their
minds for good intentions...for the most part, anyway
As they learned truth about that evil war, each was left to their own
conscience and it was between them and all that is...Many hearts
have hurt
for them back then and now as history repeats
I am so sorry for our soldiers because they are to be included in
the many victims this evil and corrupt war has created
Mothers from both sides of this unjust war have wept so much that we
are now drowning in their tears
So those that blamed or held the deceiving facts against our
soldiers should not now and should never have done that
There are some who still believe the lies from the Vietnam era and
don't realize how they were used...Just like now
The difference, now, is we have the internet and truth spreads like
wildfire, educating the masses
We can expect relief very soon from this war and all
else...Because "We The People" are moving in on all fronts, "Big
Time"
The Veterans are gathering and Running for congress
Many of them are banding together in units, large and small, all
over this once great nation with differing plans and projects
In fact...Please send me all you know about so I can add them to my
long list...I want to forward them to the media and elected officials
They will save us along with our patriots, law enforcement, military
and friends in high places of authority who still have their
integrity left and our best interests, at heart
The Veterans are gathering here>>http://groups.yahoo.com/ group/v911t/
Gathering there for 911 Truth and you can bet your bottom dollar
these guys mean business and are going places
{Added note for those who have yet to hear the guy who worked for
the big boys concerning 911truth>>>Richard Grove...It's long and
boring but hang in there...This is it}
>>>http://www.meria.net/freeshow. html
Please join them at this Veteran's group and lend a hand...
My good friend Cathy Garger,
writer & activist, is there among other heroes...and I'm proud to
say I knew of her when she wasn't such a well known writer and
predicted her success to a several others in the patriot movement
I did this for selfish reason so I could say "I knew her when"
someday
One person I told was Rick Stanley>>>http://www.stanley2002.org/
Whom is just one of the many third party leaders I and our groups
network for pertaining to the growing and needed "New Super Third
Party" unification that will soon sweep the nation...Rick was the
first true hearted patriot in this area I learned about and is now a
good friend, so I am a little prejudice on his
behalf>>>TheRevolutionaryCoalition
http://groups.yahoo.com/ group/TheRevolut ionaryCoalition/
There is another friend who is also a third party leader, Patriot
Steven>>>>>>WeThePeopleCoali tion
http://groups.yahoo.com/ group/WeThePeopl eCoalition/
He has done so
much for us as at WTP_U
He created our awesome
website>>>http://www.wethepeopleunited. com/
He also created our WTPU Mother site and center where group leaders
and VIP's gather...This is not our original group or forum and is
somewhat inactive at this time...Invitations are forthcoming if
you're an owner and not already there
Then there's Virginia Brook's "Reform Party of
Ohio" whom I just met...A very active activist working hard to
benefit mankind>>>http://www.reformohio.org/
There's so many of them...
Even CNN news, has been bringing this topic up in recent days, so I
hold hope that the good guys in media will help bring the success of
this unification movement to fruition
Back to Cathy Garger...Her hot button is depleted uranium and she is
mad as hell as we all in the know, are...Check her
out>>>http://mytown.ca/garger/
Talk about beauty and brains...That's Cathy
She never expected this latest article to be picked up and spread
widely as she did it
on a whim and very hastily
Okay...Enough tangents (although important ones I need to tell you
about)
but one more word, please
Concerning the disagreement in the groups about the POW'S and MIA's
From the research I've done...Yes, there are POW'S & MIA's we should
be concerned about and acting for and on behalf of by exposing the
facts
So many urgent matters and issues and we are focusing on gay
marriage...What's wrong with this picture?

For those who don't know me>>>I'm a human and civil rights activist
working to help unite organizations, projects and groups with
important issues for one loud voice and strength in numbers
We are spiritual and secular people from many walks of life,
learning to put differences aside enough to work together for the
good of mankind
I have not been able to keep up with scanning the digests of the
many yahoo groups I network with...I have to delete my email
continually so if you want me to see something important pertaining
to a productive and positive nature please put>>>***SOS***in the
subject box and send to me personally...mofmars3@ wmconnect. com
Please contact me with your group link if you are an owner and would
like it added to our awesome website
Sneak peek at our website under construction that belongs to "We The
people" from everywhere...Please know we are already many groups who
have united beginning in 2003...As you will soon see when all are
loaded
