--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Susan Lindauer was a U.S. Senate and House aide and a reporter for the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. In the 1990s, a CIA agent, the ex-chief of station in Syria, told her that, contrary to what the U.S. government was insisting, Libya had nothing to do with the PanAm 103/Lockerbie bombing. It had been done by Syrians acting on behalf of some U.S. intelligence agents, who had been caught in criminal actions by an oversight team, and sought to kill that team as they were flying back to Washington to report. She communicated that information to various members of the U.S. intelligence community, and wrote some of it in a deposition for the trial of the Libyans who were being framed by the U.S.

More recently, Lindauer tried to save lives by acting as a diplomatic back-channel between the Iraqi government, and the U.S government in the person of her cousin, Whitehouse Chief of Staff Andrew Card. Among other things, she conveyed the message in March 2001 that the Iraqi government was very eager to have weapons inspectors come back to their country in order to prove that they had no weapons of mass destruction. That letter is the first of the three shown below, scanned in from a photocopy.

That letter, along with Susan Lindauer's testimony, proves that Iraq had no WMD in March 2001 -- otherwise they would not have requested inspectors -- and that the U.S. government knew it.

But the Neocons wanted to attack Iraq anyhow, to make huge profits for the weapons manufacturers, to seize the oil resources, to get more military bases in the area, and to fulfill the wishes of their very close allies, the Israelis, who had been publicly urging an attack on Iraq.

So, even though it knew Iraq had no WMD, the U.S. government used WMD as a pretext for attacking and invading Iraq, murdering as many as 500,000 innocent people, and spreading depleted uranium dust all over the country, which will poison and kill millions more people in the future.

This is why the government is keeping Susan Lindauer in prison, and is now seeking to forcibly drug her into an incoherent and helpless state using psychiatric medications, despite the fact that her court-appointed psychiatrist found that she was completely sane and competent (see reports below).

If she is permitted to tell her story, the world will know for certain that the U.S. government murdered half a million people for no other reasons than greed and power.

The hearing to have Susan Lindauer committed and forcibly medicated is scheduled for May 4, but it might not be beyond the government to move it to an earlier date to prevent her from getting competent representation. She needs a good, courageous attorney who is willing to confront the U.S. government with the evidence presented here, showing that she is sane, was seeking to save lives, and has been imprisoned in an attempt to cover up genocidal mass murder.

Subject: The Watchers

�Now we are talking about Microsoft having the freedom to check your computer for any sort of illegal or fraudulent activity you might be participating in. Without your knowledge or consent. It is giving up your rights to privacy.�

The Watchers

Wednesday, April 05, 2006 - Ben Fenwick

Get ready for Microsoft, cable and phone companies, and quite a few other people to know a lot more about what you do on your computer, thanks to House Bill 2083.

It�s supposed to protect you from predators spying on your computer habits, but a bill Microsoft Corp. helped write for Oklahoma will open your personal information to warrantless searches, according to a computer privacy expert and a state representative.

Called the �Computer Spyware Protection Act,� House Bill 2083 would create fines of up to a million dollars for anyone using viruses or surreptitious computer techniques to break on to someone�s computer without that person�s knowledge and acceptance, according to the bill�s state Senate author, Clark Jolley.

�The bill has a clear prohibition on anything going in without your permission. You have to grant permission,� said Jolley, R-Edmond. �You can look at your license agreement. It will say whether they have the ability to take that information or not.�

But therein lies the catch.

If you click that �accept� button on the routine user�s agreement, the proposed law would allow any company from whom you bought upgradable software the freedom to come onto your computer for �detection or prevention of the unauthorized use of or fraudulent or other illegal activities in connection with a network, service, or computer software, including scanning for and removing computer software prescribed under this act.�

That means that Microsoft (or another company with such software) can erase spyware or viruses. But if you have, say, a pirated copy of Excel � Microsoft (or companies with similar software) can erase it, or anything else they want to erase, and not be held liable for it. Additionally, that phrase �fraudulent or other illegal activities� means they can:

�Let the local district attorney know that you wrote a hot check last month.

�Let the attorney general know that you play online poker.

�Let the tax commission know you bought cartons of cigarettes and didn�t pay the state tax on them.

�Read anything on your hard drive, such as your name, home address, personal identification code, passwords, Social Security number � etc., etc., etc.

�I think in broad terms that is still a form of spying,� said Marc Rotenberg, attorney and executive director of the Electronic Privacy Information Center in Washington, D.C. �Some people say, �Well, it�s justified.� I�m not so clear that should be the case. Particularly if the reason you are passing legislation is to cover that activity.�

The bill is scheduled to go back before the House for another vote. Will the Oklahoma House, on behalf of all computer users in the state of Oklahoma, click �accept�?

Where did you go yesterday?

Computer users first accepted updates when anti-virus makers, such as Symantec Corp. or McAfee, began back in the Nineties offering regular updates in an attempt to stay current with the alarming number of viruses introduced over the Internet. This was followed by Windows ME and 2000 allowing updates to their programs via downloads. By the time Windows XP came out, regular online updates became part of the product one purchased.

At around the same time, the Napster phenomenon pushed music corporations, courts and lawmakers into taking action against online file sharing of music. Hip, computer-savvy listeners traded pirated MP3 recordings beyond count, leading to action by the music industry to go on a search and destroy mission against the online music traders, even in Oklahoma. In 2000, Oklahoma State University police seized a student�s computer containing thousands of downloaded songs after he was traced by a recording industry group.

Anti-spyware bill author Jolley said that�s what people like the OSU student get for sharing their information online.

�You have to look at the other side of that issue,� Jolley said. �When they agreed to put their files online, they literally agreed to allow people to come on their computers and search the files online. On a P-to-P (peer-to-peer) network, you are inviting other people to see what you have. That�s a risk you run by participating in file share.�

Jolley said his spyware bill is supposed to stop �phishers� from stealing one�s identity off of one�s computer, is supposed to stop �Trojan horse� viruses from being installed on the computer and is supposed to make illegal a host of other techniques for spying on a user�s personal information.

�It prohibits them from taking things as basic as your home address, your first name, your first initial in combination with your last name, your passwords, any personal identification numbers you have, any biometric information, any Social Security, tax IDs, drivers licenses, account balances, overdraft histories � there is a clear prohibition on that,� Jolley said.

Indeed, Sections 4 and 5 of the act specifically forbid anyone from doing so without the user�s permission.

However, Section 6 of the act says such a prohibition �shall not apply� to �telecommunications carrier, cable operator, computer hardware or software provider or provider of information service� and won�t apply to those companies in cases of �detection or prevention of the unauthorized use of or fraudulent or other illegal activities.�

Which means software companies updating a user�s software or the cable company monitoring that user�s activities on a broadband modem hookup can turn over that user�s history of writing hot checks to the district attorney if the company feels like it, said Rotenberg.

�You go back to the old-fashioned wiretap laws,� Rotenberg said. �There was an exception to allow telephone companies to listen in on telephone calls. The theory was that it was necessary to make sure that the service was working. Part of what�s going on here is to significantly expand that exemption to a whole range of companies that might have reason for looking on your computer. The statute will give them authority to do so. I think it�s too broad. I think the users in the end need to be able to allow that themselves.�

Jolley insists his proposed law would not allow Microsoft, Symantec or Cox Communications to become �Big Brother.�

�The goal of this is not to allow any company to go through and scan your computer,� Jolley said. �If they are, it has to be for a specific purpose. If you don�t want them doing that, don�t agree to (the user�s agreement).�

Which means, when a user accepts Microsoft�s Windows operating system on that new computer, or Norton AntiVirus, or Apple�s operating system or a host of other online-upgradable programs, that user agrees to being watched by the company.

Who on Earth would write such a law? It wasn�t Jolley, or anyone in Oklahoma.

Trojan horse

Behind the scenes, out of the view of everyday Oklahomans, and apparently of many of their legislators, lies a little-known corporate lobbying group driving the legislation. Jolley said his proposed law for Oklahoma actually began its life in a national Republican think tank.

�This was written by a national group of state legislators called the American Legislative Exchange Council,� Jolley said. �Private industry also cooperated on it. The folks involved on this were folks like Symantec, Computer Associates, Internet Security Systems, Hewlett-Packard, McAfee, Cyber Security Industrial Alliance, Trend Micro � they all signed off on it at the end as well as the legislators nationally, members of the task force that helped write the bill.�

The American Legislative Exchange Council, or ALEC, is a Reagan-era group that originally focused on ideological legislation, such as school prayer and anti-abortion legislation. Indeed, one of ALEC�s 2005 state officers, Rep. Susan Winchester, R-Chickasha, recently presented legislation requiring women who get abortions or have a miscarriage to register and be tracked by the state. (When Oklahoma Gazette called Winchester�s office, she was unavailable for comment.) Although the group states it is bipartisan, the officers are predominately Republican.

In recent years ALEC increased its influence (and funding) by signing on large corporations to its board of directors and concentrating on lobbying and writing pro-business legislation at the state level. Among the companies that have been involved with ALEC, in addition to Microsoft, are Coors Brewing Co., R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co., ExxonMobile, Koch Industries, Verizon Communications and a host of other corporations. With the ascendancy of these large corporations in the organization, the group began writing state-level model legislation. By 2001, ALEC boasted having introduced nationwide 1,245 pieces of legislation, with 200 becoming law. In Oklahoma, the group strongly supported right to work, enacted in 2001, according to its Web site.

ALEC�s Telecommunications and Information Technology Task Force lists the Computer Spyware Protection Act as among its model legislation and has been successful in passing the legislation in a number of states. Called the �California Law� among computer professionals, the law has been passed at the state level with the same language as Oklahoma�s in California, Texas, Microsoft�s home state of Washington and has been introduced in other states.

Although the bill is touted to protect consumers from spyware, viruses and other malicious computer activity, at least one lawmaker in Oklahoma claims he was deceived by the way the bill was written.

State Rep. Mike Reynolds, R-Oklahoma City, said he initially read the first half of the bill � which states �it is unlawful for a person who is not an owner or operator of a computer to cause computer software to be copied on the computer knowingly� and prohibits someone from collecting personal information such as �account balance, overdraft history, or payment history that personally identifies an owner or operator of a computer, or biometric information� � and thought it sounded like a good idea.

�It�s crazy,� Reynolds said of the law. �The vote was unanimous. We were in the middle of some other bill. Someone walked up to me and said, �I thought you�d vote against that.� And I said, �Duh.� I thought it was about spam. I didn�t bother to read it to that level.�

However, upon reviewing the back sections of the law, Reynolds said the Computer Spyware Protection Act would do exactly the opposite of what it purports to do � it would allow computer software giant Microsoft (or other software company or online access provider) complete freedom to monitor any Microsoft user�s computer records, bank account, spending habits, e-mails, passwords � anything the user undertakes on the computer. As well, the law appears to allow such companies to investigate �fraudulent or other illegal activities,� in effect conducting a search of the user�s information without the need for a warrant on behalf of civil law enforcement.

�That�s bad,� Reynolds said. �They can go in there because they are authorized because they do detection of fraudulent, illegal activities? Now we are talking about Microsoft having the freedom to check your computer for any sort of illegal or fraudulent activity you might be participating in. Without your knowledge or consent. It is giving up your rights to privacy.�

Last chance to see

Microsoft has been active in pushing the bill through Oklahoma�s Legislature. During the 2004 election cycle, about the time the law was being signed by California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, Microsoft gave $1,000 to Oklahoma�s Republican Senate Committee and $1,000 to Democratic Gov. Brad Henry. More recently, a lobbyist for Microsoft, Andrew Wise, has been visiting the state Capitol and attending discussions with legislators about the bill.

Wise was contacted several times by the Gazette regarding the bill, but said he would pass questions on to Microsoft�s corporate communications office. However, at an Oklahoma Senate technology committee meeting, while he did not deny that the bill would give Microsoft sweeping powers over software users, he said the main reason for such corporate liberties in the bill was to give liability protection to the software giant.

�The reason that language is in there is so � the way the bill has been structured � when we give you an update, we don�t want that stuff we give you to be considered spyware,� Wise said. �The reason that�s in there is to make it clear that we are allowed.�

Wise concurred that the bill would benefit other companies besides Microsoft.

�It�s not just us,� Wise said. �It�s also Symantec, Adobe, anybody who produces software that needs updates. That is why that language is in there. There is also language in there for a cable company to be able to allow us to do those updates through their lines, and then they�re not liable. We are transmitting our IP, updates, whatever, through their pipes and if it�s spyware, they don�t want to be held liable for the spyware going through their pipes. They are just the conduit.�

Indeed, the bill also grants such powers to �a telecommunications carrier, cable operator, computer hardware or software provider, or provider of information service or interactive computer service.�

Wise again reiterated that someone from Microsoft would call: �I�ll get someone to call you and explain it better than I did,� he said. However, Microsoft did not call the Gazette.

During the committee meeting attended by Wise, Jolley succeeded in getting language removed that would have revoked immunity to those companies under certain circumstances. Jolley said the language was added in the House, and conflicted with a later section. That section states, in part: �No provider of computer software or of an interactive computer service may be held liable for identifying, naming, removing, disabling, or otherwise affecting a computer program through any action voluntarily undertaken.� While this clause would allow a company to erase a spyware or virus program from a user�s computer, it would also allow such a company to erase � without liability � any other program it deemed fit, Reynolds said.

Reynolds said the law would also place all blame for mistakes on the computer�s owner or user.

�If Microsoft comes on to my machine, and they think I�ve got a program that I haven�t paid for, but I actually paid for it, I have to fix my machine so that I don�t trick Microsoft anymore,� Reynolds said. �I have to fix a false positive. If they report me, turn me in to the DA for having illegal software, and I prove it�s not illegal, I have to fix my computer if I don�t want to be reported again.�

Reynolds said the bill has yet another administrative vote in the House and that he is now forewarned and forearmed regarding the issue.

�This will come back to the House because the title is not on it,� Reynolds said. �So, it can�t go to the Senate to be voted on, and go to the governor and become law yet. Believe me, there will be a lot more debate the next time.�

Spokesman Phil Bacharach said Gov. Henry refused comment on the bill until it reaches his desk. However, Bacharach said monetary donations from Microsoft would not sway Henry into adopting the bill.

�Absolutely not. The governor will review that legislation just as he would any other, based on its own merits,� Bacharach said.

In Washington, D.C., Rotenberg said Oklahomans should beware when a company like Microsoft, instead of Oklahoma�s own legislators, writes the state�s bills.

�I have to say, that�s not that unusual for business groups to write that kind of legislation. I think it�s unfortunate,� he said.� You don�t want business groups writing the laws � but then, I�m in Washington, so I guess I�m in no position to say that.�

Outside World

By Mustang Bobby

Since Wednesday I've been in my own little world of stage and screen magic, participating in the William Inge Theatre Festival in Independence, Kansas. Every so often I've been able to poke my head out and see what's going on:

  • Rush Limbaugh worked out a plea deal for his drug-buying and doctor-shopping: if he's a good boy and keeps up his rehab he won't end up in the joint. Gee, isn't it nice that the man who advocates jail time for drug dealers gets to basically walk -- the $30,000 fine plus costs is pocket change -- and he gets to wave his hypocrisy in front of the whole world. If he was just a regular pill-popping dope dealer on the street in Palm Beach, he'd be doing hard time in the Florida pen. But it's okay if you're a Republican big shot.

  • I don't know if President Bush can sing -- I really don't want to find out, either -- but I can imagine that the musical metaphors are flying now that he's come out against a Spanish-language version of The Star-Spangled Banner. That was, as they say in Spanish, una tonteria tremenda, and he probably did it just to satisfy the anti-immgration know-nothings on the right and the Minutemen who probably think that the last two words of the national anthem are "Play Ball!" (By the way, is the song as hard to sing in Spanish as it is in English?) If the president thought that he was going to win over the Hispanic vote for the Republicans this fall, pienso que él es muy erróneo. Not to mention estupido.

  • It turns out that Randy "Duke" Cunningham wasn't just scoring on land deals. Wow, and I thought the only politicians that had sex scandals were Democrats. Well, I guess he didn't get the clarifying memo that said when the Republicans wanted to take over the House, he thought they meant some other kind of house...[rimshot]
  • So here I am in a small town in Kansas immersed in the fantasy world of theatre and learning all about how playwrights must learn to confront the audience with ideas that will change their view of the world and themselves, sometimes push the envelope hard with hard choices and deal with taboo subjects. But when you take a look around at what's really going on out there in the real world, we playwrights and theatre types got nothin' on the hypocrites, the foolish, the xenophobes, and the sleazy everyday spoogemongers on the front page of the paper.

    HEY GROUP:

    THAT HEADLINE IS NO JOKE!! I USED IT BEFORE, AND THE KGB GOT SO MAD AT ME,
    THAT THEY SENT ONE OF THEIR FEMALE AGENTS OVER TO THE LIBRARY TO GET ME
    THROWN OFF OF THE COMPUTER.

    FOR AS MESSED UP AS DICK CHENEY IS, ESPECIALLY FOR HIS FOOLISHLY AGREEING TO
    HIDE THE SECRET OF BUSH'S INVOLVEMENT IN THE 9/11 ATTACKS; HE'S THE ONLY
    REASON THIS COUNTRY HASN'T BEEN TAKEN OVER BY RUSSIA'S VLADIMER PUTIN.

    I HAVE A REAL BAD FEELING FOR THIS WEEKEND, AND WANT IT MADE CLEAR, THAT IF
    "SOMETHING BAD" IS ANNOUNCED ABOUT DICK CHENEY, BUSH AND HIS KGB STAFFERS
    WERE BEHIND IT.

    EVERYONE KEEPS SAYING HOW THERE HASN'T BEEN ANOTHER 9/11 STYLE ATTACK
    SINCE...AND GIVE ALL THE CREDIT TO BUSH. WELL THINK ABOUT THIS: EVER SINCE
    9/11, YOU AIN'T HEARD ANYTHING ABOUT CHENEY'S MEDICAL CONDITIONS EITHER. NO
    MENTION OF HEART PROBLEMS, OR ANYTHING ELSE FOR THAT MATTER. IT WOULD PLAY
    RIGHT INTO THE KGB'S HANDS IF HE WAS TO DO THAT, SINCE 9/11 WAS THEIR
    ATTEMPT TO GET HIM OUT OF THE WAY.

    EVER SINCE THEY ANNOUNCED THAT TONY SNOW WAS REPLACING SCOTT McCLELAND, I
    HAVEN'T SEEN OR EVEN HEARD A PEEP FROM OR ABOUT DICK CHENEY. THAT WORRIES
    ME, SINCE TONY SNOW IS A KGB INSIDER, WHO WAS DADDY BUSH'S SPEECH WRITER.
    AND WAS THE ONE WHO "SLIPPED IN" THAT LITTLE MISINFORMATION ABOUT D-DAY
    BEING ON DECEMBER 7th, INSTEAD OF DECEMBER 6th. HAD A "WWII HERO" LOOKING
    GOOFY DURING THAT SPEECH, AS HE KEPT LOOKING FOR THE RIGHT PAGE/DATE.

    ALL I KNOW IS THAT THERE'S A LOT OF DESPERATE PEOPLE LOOKING FOR A WAY OUT
    OF THIS 9/11 MESS THAT BUSH HAS THEM PROTECTING.

    PUTIN THINKS OF HIMSELF AS A god, AND WOULD LOVE TO PROVE HE'S IN CONTROL
    THIS WEEKEND.

    PLEASE...PLEASE...PLEASE...KEEP ALERT!!

    IF ANYTHING HAPPENS, IT WAS ANOTHER BUSH/KGB MOMENT, AND ALL THOSE FOOLISH
    ENOUGH TO HAVE TRIED TO PROTECT HIM ARE GONNA BE SORRY. AND WITH CONDI AND
    RUMSFELD IN IRAQ, THEY MAY HAVE ALREADY DONE THE DEED.

    I JUST WANT TO GIVE A HEADS-UP.

    FOR ALL OF US, WHO HAVE FOUGHT THE FIGHT...BE PROUD!!

    GOTTA GO...MY LIBRARY COMPUTER TIME IS RUNNING OUT!!

    Subject: Re: The impact of illegal aliens on America

    John, searching the LA Times and google I couldn’t find a thing to
    corroborate these ‘facts’ or find a link to what might even have been the
    original article.

    These look like all the other facts that alarmists with an agenda make up on
    the spot.

    Have you ever been in LA? I did construction there for 20 years, they have
    300,000 garages in LA????????

    I assume you got this and took it as truth from the Close the Borders group.

    So, these Mexican illegal aliens, how many of them were flying planes on
    9/11?

    What is this issue suppose to be diverting our attention from? This is
    exactallly the same thing as the Bird Flu, Rumsfeld’s Tami Flu has killed
    more people than bird flu alone has. Sheesh, Beller, run in circles and
    scream and shout.

    Coffee break is over, I have to get back to work.

    MILITANT MEXICAN GROUP TELLS ILLEGAL ALIENS TO ARM THEMSELVES FOR MAY 1

    This is "it" folks. They are now publicly taking up arms against
    America.

    By: Hal Turner        Published Thursday, April 27,
    2006  10:47 PM

    For weeks they and their leaders have been openly talking about being
    engaged in "civil war." They now appear ready to formalize their
    rhetoric with guns.

    The message below is from the official web site of "Voz De Aztlan" (The
    Voice of Aztlan). Their confidential subscriber e-mail list received the
    communique below on Thursday, April 27.

    The leaders of the group are telling Mexicans to take up arms!!!!

    We didn't need government permission to kill these invading bastards at
    the Alamo and we don't need government permission to kill them now.
    If they are seen on the street carrying arms, it is an open
    threat to YOU. Defend yourself with whatever force is necessary. Defend
    America with whatever force is necessary.
    Remembe this: ANYONE who stands with or tries to defend these
    invaders is a legitimate target.

    Dear La Voz de Aztlan Subscribers:

    > >We have received the following communique from the

    >Minister of Information of the Nation of Aztlan. We rarely

    In
    response to the attacks on September 11, 2001, the FAA orders all
    planes out of the air. US and Canadian air traffic controllers face a
    calamity of epic proportions--how to safely re-route and land 6,500
    planes carrying close to a million people. For individual air traffic
    controllers, the work is chaotic, intense, and deceptively simple: pick
    a new route for each flight; radio instructions to turn; listen for
    pilot confirmation; hold traffic to keep airways from overcrowding.
    From Cleveland, Ohio to Gander, Newfoundland, controllers on September
    11th searched for alternate airports to land large jets even as their
    traumatized colleagues stream back from break rooms after watching the
    attacks on TV.

    Loose Change 2nd Edition:
    It is quite obvious to anyone even looking into research regarding 911,
    that a new 9/11 Documentary 'Loose Change 2nd Edition' by Dylan Avery,
    has been sweeping through the 'Conspiracy Theory' crowd like WildFire
    on a Windy day. This new documentary boldly claims that 911 was an
    inside job and even suggests elements of the Bush administration had
    part in engineering 9/11. Bold claims indeed, especially for 21 year
    old, Dylan Avery, now turned filmaker and 9/11 Activist.

    Hi everybody,

    I've come out with a new 911 truth activist product, see
    http://www.waronfreedom.org/button.html
    It's a visual pun on 911 = ?!!
    Could be perfect to wear when leafletting United 93 movies or at peace marches.
    I'm giving one away with each order of deception dollars.

    By the way, is anyone creating a flyer for handing out at United 93 showings?
    The one I made for Fahrenheit 911 seems to be the most popular
    download on my website, i figure, cause if you just input my
    deception dollar domain name "foneymoney" without .com in firefox,
    the flyer is what comes up.

    CNN Cover's 9/11 Skeptics and Misrepresents 911Truth.org

    By dz



    CNN's The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer briefly covered 9/11 'conspiracy theory' websites this evening including references to Loose Change Second Edition, Reopen911.org, and 911truth.org. Unfortunately they managed to mischaracterize 911truth.org.

    Stating '..they want the government to release pentagon surveillance videos saying they think a cruise missile hit the pentagon instead of a plane', CNN misrepresented 911truth.org. In fact, 911truth.org has never advocated such a position regarding the Pentagon, and I am not quite sure where they came across the idea actually, asside from confusing them for another website or 9/11 organization.

    That is not to say that many do not question the Pentagon, but just to say that if your going to cover 9/11 websites for the first time in the history of your channel, then you could at least make sure your 45 seconds worth of information is accurate!

    Check out the clip, post some comments, and send in some feedback.

    · Osama Connected to 9/11? Not According to the F.B.I. - As of today,
    4/28/06, the F.B.I. website listing for Osama notes that it was last
    updated in November, 2001, after the events of September 11th 2001.
    While the site notes several crimes for which Osama is suspected, the
    site makes no mention of the events of September 11th.

    Subject: The world of Dov Zakheim: Nefesh Elokis -- have you got it?

    http://www.geocities.com/mewatch99/soul.html

    The Jewish Soul and the Gentile Soul!

    by Nashid

    Let me ask you a question. You have mentioned you are an orthodox
    Jew. There are things in your religion I see as racist as expressed
    by members of your religion.

    All of the following things are taken from Jewish sources. How much
    of this stuff do you agree with? And do you condemn Jews who hold
    these views?

    According to orthodox Jews, as I understand it, Jews have a soul
    Gentiles do not have. This is the G-dly soul, the Nefesh Elokis.
    Gentiles have the same souls that all living creatures including Jews
    have, but not the G-dly soul.

    An orthodox Jew is thus being totally honest when he tells a Gentile
    that Jews and Gentiles have the same soul. It's the soul of the dog
    or the cat they share in common. But the Jew has the extra soul which
    distinguishes him from the dog, the cat or the Gentile.

    That may be why Israel is so stuck on Jewish bloodlines to determine
    who is and who is not a Jew. It doesn't seem to matter whether you
    practice the religion. You are born with the G-dly Nefesh Elokis soul
    if you are a Jew. This is not something you can shed. No matter how
    righteous a Gentile is, he can never get the G-dly soul, and no
    matter how foul a Jew is, he can never lose his G-dly soul.

    The reason the killer Sheinbein was not delivered to U.S. authorities
    for trial seems to be because Gentiles, according to the Talmud, are
    not fit to judge Jews.

    Gentiles or heathen, according to the Talmud, are also incapable of
    charity in the same way we regard dogs as being incapable of charity.
    Gentiles act on this lower animal self-interest level. For Jews it's
    always charity, for Gentiles it's always a sin offering.

    Jews often tell us being the Chosen gives them more responsibilities.
    Of course it does. Humans have more responsibilities than dogs. Ah,
    but don't we love our dogs? And shouldn't dogs be grateful to their
    masters?

    Everything below is taken from Jewish sources. The links are given. I
    particularly like the carpenter analogy, in which G-d is compared to
    a carpenter. Jews are the carpenter's children. Gentiles are the
    chairs and furniture the carpenter makes. Then comes the unbelievable
    statement asking who is to say which is more important, the children
    or the furniture. This is obviously so the Rabbi can tell his Gentile
    friends we all have our place in G-d's kingdom, and G-d does not
    regard the Jew superior to the Gentile. Right, and the carpenter
    gives the chair he made the same value as his children.

    Richie19: So what happens when they die? Where does the soul go?

    Rabbi Jacobson: 1.) They are judged; 2.) Wherever G-d decides.

    Richie19: So what is the difference between them and us?

    Rabbi Jacobson: There is a different soul in every created being.

    Richie19: So do Jews have an extra soul or just a different kind?

    Rabbi Jacobson: Additional, according to Kabbalah.

    Richie19: what is the name of this extra soul?

    Rabbi Jacobson: The Nefesh Elokis.

    ______________________________

    Kabbalistic Philosophy From the book "Demystifying the Mystical, 1996

    Chassidus explains that there are three souls: (1) Nefesh ha'bihamis,
    the animal soul, also called Nefesh ha'chiunis, the vital soul or
    natural soul; (2) Nefesh ha'sichlis, the human rational soul; and (3)
    Nefesh ha'elokis, the G-dly soul. The third aspect of the soul is
    unique to Jews; Gentiles have both an animal soul and a human
    rational soul.

    The part of the Jew that wants to be G-dly and Jewish, the Nefesh
    ha'elokis, is pre set and "forced" to act in a Jewish way.

    The Nefesh elokis or G-dly soul is the true Jewish essence, the
    Pintele Yid, and it is directly connected to G-d, a part of G-d.
    Since it is G-dly, it is not limited, it transcends the ordinary
    material world. From the perspective of the rational and animal soul,
    indulgence in worldly pleasures could be justified. But the divine
    soul tells us there is something beyond, a true G-dly spirituality.
    It says, if something in this world does not manifest G-d, it is not
    for you, a Jew, because it is contrary to your real essence.

    To understand this in a deeper way we need to ask ourselves several
    questions. What is the significance of the Nefesh elokis being
    a "Chelek eloka mimal mamesh", an actual part of G-d? Also, do
    righteous gentiles posses a Nefesh elokis? If not, why not? Just
    because they aren't born to a Jewish mother or have had a proper
    Jewish conversion, shouldn't exclude them from attaining the same
    union as Jews have. Also, what is the highest spiritual level a
    gentile can reach?

    Chassidus explains that the Nefesh elokis is actually part and parcel
    of G-d. It manifests itself by the very fact that a Jew cannot and
    will not be able to forsake his or her Jewishness. Regardless of
    circumstances, every Jew posses a G-dly soul, even though temporarily
    the Jew might drift into strange non G-dly pastures.

    Based on this ideology, we will be able to understand the
    spirituality of a gentile. A gentile is not a Jew. The very fact that
    a gentile is born to a non Jewish mother establishes this fact. This
    in no way denotes a inferiority rather a different role in fulfilling
    his mission in life. Therefore even a very righteous gentile doesn't
    have a Jewish soul known as a G-dly soul, a Neshomo.

    A righteous gentile's soul comes from klipat Noga. This means that he
    possesses a level of spirituality that expresses some form of G-d.
    This is the basic idea that G-d is good, and that his desire of human
    kind is to make the world a better place, a place in which all of
    society has the proper tools including modern technology, to
    accomplish this task. When a gentile assists in this mission, he
    attains and expresses his soul and is called a righteous gentile. The
    reward being, as Maimondies says, he will receive a portion in the
    world to come. However a gentile doesn't have a Nefesh elokis and
    doesn't have the same responsibilities as a Jew does. Therefore a
    gentile isn't able to connect to that level of G-d which we call
    essence. An example of this would be, a father has a child and that
    same father is a carpenter. Is there a difference between his child
    and his chairs and tables that he makes? Sure, however does he see
    this difference as a better and worse situation or is it simply that
    they are two entirely different roles that the father has, both just
    as important and equal to him. However there is a very real
    difference, and it doesn't make one good and one bad. The same is
    true for a Jew and a gentile.

    In the same vein, we can explain the difference between the soul of a
    Jew and the soul of a gentile. A gentile is limited to his or her
    mission. That's the way G-d created him or her. Therefore the level
    of spirituality for a gentile is limited to perfecting himself and
    the world around him. Yet a gentile cannot transform himself to
    become limitless, he is a creation of G-d just as all other
    creations. Therefore there is a defined application to his ability.
    This is called in Chassidus, Givul, limited. However a Jew is not a
    creation of G-d, rather a "part" of G-d, therefore a Jew is able to
    go beyond the worldly defined experiences. The reason is, a Jew is
    not a creation of G-d rather a Jew is G-dliness as he expresses
    himself in creation through a Neshomo. This concept is called in
    Chassidus, elokus shenase nivre.

    From the Soncino Edition Babylonian Talmud on CD: Baba Bathra 10b

    Rabban Johanan b. Zakkai said to his disciples: My sons, what is the
    meaning of the verse, Righteousness exalteth a nation, but the
    kindness of the peoples is sin? R. Eliezer answered and
    said: `Righteousness exalteth a nation:' this refers to Israel of
    whom it is written, Who is like thy people Israel one nation in the
    earth? But `the kindness of the peoples is sin': all the charity and
    kindness done by the heathen is counted to them as sin, because they
    only do it to magnify themselves, as it says, That they may offer
    sacrifices of sweet savour unto the God of heaven, and pray for the
    life of the king and of his sons. But is not an act of this kind
    charity in the full sense of the word, seeing that it has been
    taught: `If a man says, - I give this sela for charity in order that
    my sons may live and that I may be found worthy of the future world,
    he may all the same be a righteous man in the full sense of the
    word'? - There is no contradiction; in the one case we speak of an
    Israelite, in the other of a heathen.14

    R.Joshuah answered and said: `Righteousness exalteth a nation,: this
    refers to Israel of whom it is written, Who is like thy people
    Israel, one nation on the earth? `The kindness of peoples is sin':
    all the charity and kindness that the heathen do is counted sin to
    them, because they only do it in order that their dominion may be
    prolonged, as it says, Wherefore O king, let my counsel be acceptable
    to thee, and break off thy sins by righteousness, and thy iniquities
    by showing mercy to the poor, if there may be a lengthening of thy
    tranquility. Rabban Gamaliel answered saying: `Righteousness exalteth
    a nation': this refers to Israel of whom it is written, Who is like
    thy people Israel etc. `And the kindness of the peoples is sin:' all
    the charity and kindness that the heathen do is counted as sin to
    them, because they only do it to display haughtiness, and whoever
    displays haughtiness is cast into Gehinnom, as it says, The proud and
    haughty man, scorner is his name, he worketh in the wrath [`ebrah] of
    pride, and `wrath' connotes Gehinnom, as it is written, A day of
    wrath is that day. Said Rabban Gamaliel: We have still to hear the
    opinion of the Modiite. R. Eliezer the Modiite says: `Righteousness
    exalteth a nation': this refers to Israel of whom it is written, Who
    is like thy people Israel,

    one nation in the earth. `The kindness of the peoples is sin': all
    the charity and kindness of the heathen is counted to them as sin,
    since they do it only to reproach us, as it says, The Lord hath
    brought it and done according as he spake, because ye have sinned
    against the Lord and have not obeyed his voice, therefore this thing
    is come upon you. R. Nehuniah b. ha-Kanah answered
    saying: `Righteousness exalteth a nation, and there is kindness for
    Israel and a sin-offering for the peoples.' Said R. Johanan b. Zakkai
    to his disciples: `The answer of R. Nehuniah b. ha-Kanah is superior
    to my answer and to yours, because he assigns charity and kindness to
    Israel and sin to the heathen.' This seems to show that he also gave
    an answer; what was it? - As it has been taught: R. Johanan b. Zakkai
    said to them: Just as the sin-offering makes atonement for Israel, so
    charity makes atonement for the heathen.

    (14) Because the Israelite, whatever he may say, really gives the
    charity for its own sake.(Interesting footnote. The Israelite always
    gives charity for its own sake, no matter what he may say, and the
    heathen is incapable of charity.)

    Steppingstone to War
    House passes 'Iran Freedom Support Act'
    by Justin Raimondo
    It is "a steppingstone to war," said Rep. Dennis Kucinich, during the debate over the so-called Iran Freedom Support Act, and if this vote is any measure of the degree of congressional opposition to the looming prospect of war with Tehran, then we have a lot to worry about.

    Only 21 members of the House stood up against the overwhelming bipartisan wave of support for the bill, which would impose economic sanctions on the Iranians - and openly proclaims the goal of effecting "regime change." Rep. Ron Paul, a Texas Republican, said the bill reminds him of a 1998 congressional resolution - the Iraq Liberation Act - that paved the way for the Iraqi debacle. Yet most of the "antiwar" contingent in the House of Representatives caved and voted in favor, including Democrats John Conyers, Maxine Waters, Jack Murtha, Bernie Sanders, Barbara Lee, and Lynn Woolsey.

    The bill was opposed by the Bush administration, which officially holds that diplomacy is the way to go on the Iranian nukes issue. Thus it was supported by many Democrats, including the voluble Tom Lantos (D-Calif.), a co-author of the bill along with Florida Republican Ileana Ros-Lehtinen. Passage is a major goal of AIPAC, Israel's premier lobbying organization in the U.S., which for the past two years has featured the alleged Iranian threat to America as its convention theme: this year's conclave featured a multimedia exhibit supposedly dramatizing how Iran is "pursuing nuclear weapons and how it can be stopped." As Middle East expert Trita Parsi, of the John Hopkins School for Advanced International Studies, put it: "I don't see any other major groups behind this legislation that have had any impact on it."

    The Israelis have made no secret of their efforts to get Uncle Sam to launch an attack. If you guys don't, a number of Israeli officials have implied, then we will. This last, however, is an empty threat, as the Israelis don't have the military capacity to wipe out Iran's widely dispersed nuclear research facilities in a single blow, and, in any case, are more than likely to wait until the last possible moment before they take the unusual step of fighting their own war. After all, why should they, when the U.S. is perfectly willing to sacrifice American troops and treasure on the altar of Israel's alleged national security interests?

    Iran represents a threat to nothing and no one but Israel, and everybody knows it. It is likewise universally acknowledged that the one Middle Eastern power we definitely know to be in possession of a substantial nuclear stockpile is Israel. The Iranians, then, could be seen as engaging in a defensive policy of deterrence: after all, Israel has never even acknowledged its nukes, let alone declared a policy of "no first strike." Unlike the Israelis, the Iranians are signatories of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty. But of course we aren't allowed to mention that, because depicting the government of Israel as a gang of duplicitous scheming aggressors intent on holding a nuclear sword of Damocles over the entire Middle East would be "anti-Semitic," according to the latest definition of anti-Semitism, albeit all too true.

    The timing on this vote is significant on two counts. Coming as it did at a time when the debate about Israel's inordinate influence over U.S. foreign policy is getting heated, this vote demonstrates that, as John J. Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt point out in "The Israel Lobby":

    "AIPAC, which is a de facto agent for a foreign government, has a stranglehold on the U.S. Congress. Open debate about U.S. policy towards Israel does not occur there, even though that policy has important consequences for the entire world."

    The sheer power of what Mearsheimer and Walt call "the Lobby" is further demonstrated by the general public revulsion against the consequences of our very similar policy in Iraq. The unpopularity of our military presence in the Middle East has not deterred politicians from jumping on the war-with-Tehran bandwagon. Even as (some) Democratic lawmakers decry the occupation of Iraq and call for a timetable for U.S. troop withdrawal, they join in the war whoops of the neoconservatives who are pushing to ignite a new war with Tehran. So much for the Democratic Party as a vehicle for antiwar sentiment.

    While the Iran Freedom Support Act contains language explicitly disavowing the charge that it represents a blank check for war with Iran, that is precisely what it does. It sets the stage for isolating Iran economically and paves the way for the creation of an Iranian version of Ahmed Chalabi and his "heroes in error." We will, once again, pay for the privilege of being lied to. As that old Peter, Paul, and Mary song goes: "When will they ever learn? When will they ever learn?"

    In the Senate, the primary proponents of this bill are likely to be Hillary Clinton and the rabidly neocon wing of the Republican Party. Hillary came out for sanctions long ago, and, in a fiery speech to AIPAC, stopped just short of calling for war with Iran if the mullahs did not cease and desist. Go here for an entirely plausible "future history" account of "the tragedy that followed Hillary Clinton's bombing of Iran in 2009." The matter-of-fact opening of Timothy Garton Ash's near-future scenario is frighteningly plausible:

    "May 7, 2009, will surely go down in history alongside September 11, 2001. '5/7,' as it inevitably became known, saw massive suicide bombings in Tel Aviv, London, and New York, as well as simultaneous attacks on the remaining Western troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. Total casualties were estimated at around 10,000 dead and many more wounded. The attacks, which included the explosion of a so-called dirty bomb in London, were orchestrated by a Tehran-based organization for 'martyrdom-seeking operations' established in 2004. '5/7' was the Islamic Republic of Iran's response to the bombing of its nuclear facilities, which President Hillary Clinton had ordered in March 2009."

    Seymour Hersh and others seem to think the Bush administration will beat President Hillary to it, and that military operations involving both the Americans and the Israelis have already commenced. The Iran Freedom Support Act would merely drag these covert activities up into the sunlight, although their roots would stay submerged in the murky underworld of shadowy exile groups and Pentagon subcontractors. Passage of the Act would give rise to a whole new sector of the democracy-export business. Iranian exile groups - including monarchists, Marxists, and a motley collection of alleged "democrats" - would vie for funds and the American imprimatur. A new gold rush for the democracy exporters would commence, shifting the scene of the action from Iraq to Iran, even as the War Party sets its sights on the latter.

    Let no one say they were against this war with Iran, when it comes, if they didn't vote with the heroic 21 naysayers. These sanctions against Iran are but a prelude to war, just as sanctions were the first step in the long run-up to the invasion of Iraq. However, we may not enjoy such a lengthy interval between cause and effect this time around. Events are proceeding at an ever accelerating pace, with Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice now saying the time for talking is over and the time for action has begun - not military action (at least not yet), but action by the Security Council of the United Nations, whose "credibility is at stake." I wonder if that same standard applies to the many UN resolutions that Israel continues to defy. Hasn't the UN already lost all credibility when such brazen defiance has gone unnoticed by the Security Council?

    Let no one say they weren't warned. Using Iraq as a "model" for the methodology of the War Party, we can see, when it comes to Iran, that all the elements are falling neatly into place. Once again, we have the specter of WMD and their possible existence or nonexistence: a mirage projected by the credulous Western "mainstream" media, one that is sure to dissipate only after we're waist-deep in an Iranian quagmire. Another familiar phenomenon: dubious exile groups, along the lines of the infamous Iraqi National Congress, only this time even wackier, wilder, and woolier.

    The Bush administration is going too slow for the Lobby's taste, and the House vote is a good indication of their displeasure. In spite of widespread antiwar sentiment and a general disgust with the notion of meddling in the affairs of other nations, the War Party has effectively seized control not only of major policymaking bodies of the U.S. government, but also both major political parties. Mearsheimer and Walt describe the campaign by Israel's amen corner to rush us into another war:

    "The Bush administration has responded to the Lobby's pressure by working overtime to shut down Iran's nuclear program. But Washington has had little success, and Iran seems determined to get a nuclear arsenal. As a result, the Lobby has intensified its pressure on the U.S. government, using all of the strategies in its playbook."

    One new strategy is to be prepared to abandon the Republicans if a sufficiently warlike Democrat - such as Hillary Clinton - wins the nod for a White House run. As for this White House, while it may have developed plans for an attack on Iran, the current administration seems eager to draw out the diplomatic dance as long as possible, even in the face of what Mearsheimer and Walt depict as a Katrina-like storm of propaganda and political pressure:

    "Op-eds and articles now warn of imminent dangers from a nuclear Iran, caution against any appeasement of a 'terrorist' regime, and hint darkly of preventive action should diplomacy fail. The Lobby is also pushing Congress to approve the Iran Freedom Support Act, which would expand existing sanctions on Iran. Israeli officials also warn they may take preemptive action should Iran continue down the nuclear road, hints partly intended to keep Washington focused on this issue."

    The Lobby is on the march, and war is in the wind. The cries of the banshee pundits and the sonorous resolutions coming out of Israeli-occupied Capitol Hill, are portents of the coming storm. Mearsheimer and Walt, two distinguished professors from two of our nation's most prestigious universities, have been vilified by the Amen Corner and have had their thesis twisted and willfully misunderstood by ultra-Zionists and anti-Semites alike. They have admirably refused to get down in the gutter with such dishonest, agenda-driven scribblers, and instead have let their work speak for itself as a predictor and critic of U.S. policy in the Middle East:

    "One might argue that Israel and the Lobby have not had much influence on U.S. policy toward Iran, because the United States has its own reasons to keep Iran from going nuclear. This is partly true, but Iran's nuclear ambitions do not pose an existential threat to the United States. If Washington could live with a nuclear Soviet Union, a nuclear China, or even a nuclear North Korea, then it can live with a nuclear Iran. And that is why the Lobby must keep constant pressure on U.S. politicians to confront Tehran. Iran and the United States would hardly be allies if the Lobby did not exist, but U.S. policy would be more temperate and preventive war would not be a serious option."

    As for this essay's predictive value: in light of the knowledge that it was commissioned by The Atlantic magazine and written sometime last year, the section on the Iran nuke issue seems prescient, an ample demonstration of the paper's thesis - that the Israel lobby has hijacked American foreign policy, especially when it comes to the Middle East.

    Mearsheimer and Walt's critique of U.S. policy, as distorted by neoconservative fealty to Israel, is more than borne out by the Iran nuke brouhaha. Iranian missiles trained on Tel Aviv, or even London, do not a threat to the U.S. make. It is doubtful they represent a plausible threat even to the targeted cities, as the threat of massive retaliation in kind would successfully deter such a heinous act, just as it deterred Stalin and his successors for half a century.

    It is both alarming and baffling that we have any number of lobbies operating out of Washington on behalf of dozens of foreign countries: not only Israel, but all sorts of overseas potentates and unsavory dictators of one sort or another have their bought-and-paid-for Amen Corners in the form of at least one pricey public relations firm. But I have yet to hear of a foreign policy lobby that operates on behalf of Americans - that looks out for exclusively American interests. Why isn't there a countering force arrayed against all these foreign agents and their domestic allies who push for the narrow interests of the "homeland" - usually at Uncle Sam's expense? Who will lobby Congress to start putting America first?

    Here is a scenario.....

    Not written by me; written by a zillion folks who are scared out of
    their asses over what is shaking down in the NewKKKnightedSates, right
    here and now:

    Here is a scenario.....

    November '06 will be a big hit for the neocon controlled Republican
    party ... and '08 can replace them completely except for the Supreme
    Court. They are never going to allow this to happen. Agreed?

    So, sometime in the next 2 years, maybe before this November, Bush
    needs to take over the government as a puppet for them. He already has
    the means ... Congress has given him the authority to declare Martial
    Law and deploy Federal troops to `maintain order' in the USA without
    the need to consult them. Why? Why do you think that the deployment
    is needed?

    He also has the authority to deploy a nuke anywhere he pleases as CIC.

    So, how about this for a possibility ... we have two possibilities to
    give him the `justification' to shut down the government while under
    Martial Law and `maintain order' with his troops ... he allows a US
    nuke to be `stolen' and detonated in, say, Baltimore or another
    `expendable' city and blames it on the `terrorists' ...

    ... or he just declares a nuclear strike on Iran and follows up the same
    way when the people of the USA rise up in protest.

    Then, he stops transportation of gasoline and oil in the USA, closes
    down all roads, keeps us in our homes and arrests all the people who
    rise up as `looters' and `anarchists' or `terrorists'. This way, the
    US citizens who will resist are all locked up without charges, trial or
    representation; same as the laws the `terrorists' are now under in
    Gitmo.

    Prisons are opened around the country with very little `compliance' to
    humane conditions ... say in Arizona or Utah, out in the desert where you
    couldn't get out on foot if you wanted to.

    The laws for this already exist.

    We try to drive out of the cities or out of the country; we get caught,
    or killed, or disappear.

    He shuts down the TV cable radio and press and we get `emergency
    broadcasts' of the state of the emergency ... all produced for our
    listening pleasure by Karl Rove. We are isolated, one city or state
    from the next, left without electric and in the dark in terms of news
    and the `troublemakers' are arrested.

    The first winter comes, he sends us heating fuel and we are grateful.
    We agree to the National ID cards, the new controls, and we get spoon
    fed information custom made for us. It is good that we have people
    looking out for our children and parents!

    Meanwhile, maybe Iran gets nuked or invaded, along with any other
    countries he wants to devistate and colonize, no elections are held and
    the neocons control with no one to answer to.

    Bye Bye Land of the Free.

    You can fill in the blanks, but there is the outline.

    Pack up the kids, pack up the family, and kiss your a** goodbye!

    U.N. Forced to Cut Food Aid to
    Sudan
    Donor nations gave only 32 percent
    of food program's funding needs

    NOTE: This is a scandal so outrageous that it challenges our usual
    notions of human nature! -- kl, pp

    Friday, April 28, 2006 Posted: 1231 GMT (2031 HKT)

    Image Omitted: U.S. Rep. Mike Doyle of Pittsburgh, center, addresses
    a rally with post cards for President Bush to plead for aid for Darfur.

    • UNICEF sounds alarm for Darfur's children
    • First sanctions for Darfur participants OK'd
    • NÃ…TO to keep training Darfur peacekeepers

    GENEVA, Switzerland (Reuters) -- The United Nations said on Friday it
    would cut food rations for more than 6 million people in Sudan, half of
    them in Darfur, because of a severe lack of funds.

    Many donor countries appear to have tired of the long-term conflict in
    Darfur, despite signs that malnutrition is again on the rise among
    people living in squalid camps, the United Nations' World Food Program
    (WFP) said.

    WFP said it was halving food aid from the minimum daily requirement of
    2,100 calories to 1,050 calories as of May.

    "This is one of the hardest decisions I have ever made. Haven't the
    people of Darfur suffered enough? Aren't we adding insult to injury?"
    WFP Executive Director James Morris said.

    "This is a measure we should simply never have to take," said Morris,
    who heads the world's largest food aid agency, feeding 90 million
    people worldwide.

    The Rome-based agency had only received $238 million, or 32 percent, of
    its annual appeal of $746 million for Sudan. Africa's largest country
    is emerging from civil war in the south as talks continue on a peace
    deal to end a conflict in Darfur.

    Spokeswoman Christiane Berthiaume told a news briefing: "It is
    scandalous, but we have no choice."

    Fighting erupted in Darfur in 2003 when mostly non-Arab tribes took up
    arms over land and water resources, accusing the government of neglect.
    Khartoum is accused of arming mainly Arab militia who began a murder,
    rape, and looting campaign that killed tens of thousands and uprooted
    more than 2 million -- a catastrophe that has been labeled a genocide
    targeting the Africans of Darfur by the global community.

    "There is probably some donor fatigue. The conflict has been going on a
    long time. And there is no solution in sight," Berthiaume said.

    The United States was the largest donor at $188 million, it said, while
    Italy was the only major European country to contribute so far ($1.2
    million).

    "WFP is particularly concerned about the effect of reduced rations in
    Darfur, where rampant insecurity continues to cause enormous
    suffering," WFP said in a statement.

    The U.N. Children's Fund (UNICEF) has already reported increased
    malnutrition rates in the region this year.

    The WFP said the cuts would allow limited food stocks to last longer
    into the annual "hunger season", from July to September, when needs are
    greatest ahead of the harvest.

    The WFP estimates that 2,100 calories a day is the minimum daily
    requirement needed to stay in good health.

    Intelligence indications and warnings abound
    as Bush administration finalizes
    military attack on Iran

    By Wayne Madsen
    April 28, 2006

    WayneMadsenReport.com

    January 2, 2006 -- Intelligence indications and warnings abound as Bush
    administration finalizes military attack on Iran.

    Intelligence and military sources in the United States and abroad are
    reporting on various factors that indicate a U.S. military hit on
    Iranian nuclear and military installations, that may involve tactical
    nuclear weapons, is in the final stages of preparation. Likely targets
    for saturation bombing are the Bushehr nuclear power plant (where
    Russian and other foreign national technicians are present), a uranium
    mining site in Saghand near the city of Yazd, the uranium enrichment
    facility in Natanz, a heavy water plant and radioisotope facility in
    Arak, the Ardekan Nuclear Fuel Unit, the Uranium Conversion Facility
    and   Nuclear Technology Center in Isfahan, the Tehran Nuclear Research
    Center, the Tehran Molybdenum, Iodine and Xenon Radioisotope Production
    Facility, the Tehran Jabr Ibn Hayan Multipurpose Laboratories, the
    Kalaye Electric Company in the Tehran suburbs, a reportedly dismantled
    uranium enrichment plant in Lashkar Abad, and the Radioactive Waste
    Storage Units in Karaj and Anarak.

    Other first targets would be Shahab-I, II, and III missile launch
    sites, air bases (including the large Mehrabad air base/international
    airport near Tehran), naval installations on the Persian Gulf and
    Caspian Sea, command, control, communications and intelligence
    facilities. Secondary targets would include civilian airports, radio
    and TV installations, telecommunications centers, government buildings,
    conventional power plants, highways and bridges, and rail lines. Oil
    installations and commercial port facilities would likely be relatively
    untouched by U.S. forces in order to preserve them for U.S. oil and
    business interests.

    There has been a rapid increase in training and readiness at a number
    of U.S. military installations involved with the planned primarily
    aerial attack. These include a Pentagon order to Fort Rucker, Alabama,
    to be prepared to handle an estimated 50,000 to 60,000 trainees,
    including civilian contractors, who will be deployed for Iranian combat
    operations. Rucker is home to the US Army's aviation training command,
    including the helicopter training school.

    In addition, there has been an increase in readiness at nearby Hurlburt
    Field in Florida, the home of the U.S. Air Force Special Operations
    Command. The U.S. attack on Iran will primarily involve aviation (Navy,
    Air Force, Navy-Marine Corps) and special operations assets.

    There has also been a noticeable increase in activity at Marine Corps
    Air Ground Combat Center at Twentynine Palms, California, a primary
    live fire training activity located in a desert and mountainous
    environment similar to target areas in Iran.

    From European intelligence agencies comes word that the United States
    has told its NATO allies to be prepared for a military strike on
    Iranian nuclear development and military installations.

    On November 17, 2005, Russian President Vladimir Putin spent seven
    hours in secret discussions with Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip
    Erdogan during the the opening ceremonies in Samsun, Turkey for the
    Russian-Turkish underwater Blue Stream natural gas pipeline,
    festivities also attended by Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi.

    According to sources knowledgeable about the meeting, Erdogan promised
    Putin, who has become a close friend, that Turkey would not support the
    use of its bases by the United States in a military attack on Iran.
    That brought a series of high level visits to Turkey by Bush
    administration officials, including CIA chief Porter Goss, FBI Director
    Robert Mueller, and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.

    Although Erdogan listened to Goss's and Rice's pleas for Turkish
    logistical, political, and intelligence help for an attack on Iran and
    Turkish Army Chief Yasar Buyukanit heard much the same from Pentagon
    officials during his recent trip to Washington, the word is that Putin
    now has enough clout in Ankara to scuttle any use of Turkey by the U.S.
    for an attack on Iran. [Mueller delivered Ankara intelligence "proof"
    of Iranian backing for Kurdish Workers' Party (PKK) guerrillas in
    Turkey. Intelligence agencies and business intelligence units around
    the world are now discounting any intelligence coming from the Bush
    administration as neocon propaganda invented by think tanks and
    discredited intelligence agencies in Washington, Tel Aviv-Herzliya, and
    Jerusalem].

    A U.S. Attack on Iran: The Perfect Storm for wider nuclear conflict

    U.S. political and military officials have also approached Bahrain,
    Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Jordan, Oman, and Azerbaijan seeking their
    support for a U.S. attack on Iran. Ina replay of the phony pre-war
    intelligence on Iraq, Washington is trying to convince various
    countries that a link exists between Iran and "Al Qaeda."

    Polish intelligence sources report that Poland's Defense Minister Radek
    Sikorski assured Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld of Poland's support
    for any U.S. strike against Iran. Sikorski is a former American
    Enterprise Institute colleague of such neo-cons as Richard Perle,
    Michael Ledeen, and Lynne Cheney, the so-called "Second Lady" of the
    United States. Sikorski and Polish Foreign Minister Stefan Meller
    assured Rumsfeld and Rice, respectively, that Poland would stand by the
    United States during the split in NATO that will occur as a result of
    the American strike. Polish intelligence sources, who are unhappy with
    the arrangement of the new right-wing government in Warsaw with the
    Bush administration, leaked the information about the recent U.S.
    demarche to NATO in Brussels about preparation for the attack.

    Similar intelligence "leaks" about the U.S. attack plans were also
    leaked to the German magazine Der Spiegel.

    European intelligence sources also report that the recent decision by
    Putin and Russia's state-owned Gazprom natural gas company to cut
    supplied of natural gas to Ukraine was a clear warning by Putin to
    nations like Ukraine, Poland, Romania, Czech Republic, Slovakia,
    Slovenia, Croatia, Moldova, France, Austria, Italy, Hungary, Bosnia,
    Serbia, and Germany that it would do the same if they support the U.S.
    attack on Iran. Gazprom natural gas is supplied, via pipelines in
    Ukraine, from Russia and Turkmenistan to countries in Eastern and
    Western Europe. The Bush administration charged Russia with using gas
    supplies as a "political tool."

    Putin has additional leverage on Western Europe since former German
    Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder accepted an appointment to the board of a
    joint Russian-German North European Gas Pipeline Consortium that is
    controlled by Gazprom. The pipeline will bring Russian gas to
    Scandinavia, Germany, Netherlands, and Britain, giving Putin additional
    leverage over Washington in Europe.

    Southeast Asian intelligence sources report that Burma's (Myanmar's)
    recent abrupt decision to move its capital from Rangoon (Yangon) to
    remote Pyinmana, 200 miles to the north, is a result of Chinese
    intelligence warnings to its Burmese allies about the effects of
    radiation resulting from a U.S. conventional or tactical nuclear attack
    on Iranian nuclear facilities. There is concern that a series of
    attacks on Iranian nuclear installations will create a Chernobyl-like
    radioactive cloud that would be caught up in monsoon weather in the
    Indian Ocean.

    Low-lying Rangoon lies in the path of monsoon rains that would continue
    to carry radioactive fallout from Iran over South and Southeast Asia
    between May and October. Coastal Indian Ocean cities like Rangoon,
    Dhaka, Calcutta, Mumbai, Chennai, and Colombo would be affected by the
    radioactive fallout more than higher elevation cities since humidity
    intensifies the effects of the fallout. Thousands of government workers
    were given only two days' notice to pack up and leave Rangoon for the
    higher (and dryer) mountainous Pyinmana.

    In neighboring West Bengal, the leftist government and its national
    leftist allies around the country are planning massive demonstrations
    during Bush's upcoming trip to India. They are protesting the war in
    Iraq as well as the threats against Iran.

    Reports from Yemen indicate that western oil companies are concerned
    about U.S. intentions in Iran since the southern Arabian country
    catches the edge of the monsoon rains that could contain radioactive
    fallout from an attack, endangering their workers in the country.

    The Bush administration aborted last minute plans to attack Iranian
    nuclear and political installations prior to the 2004 presidential
    election. On October 9, Rumsfeld met with defense minister colleagues
    on the now decommissioned USS John F. Kennedy in the Persian Gulf to
    seek support for the attack. That meeting has been confirmed by the
    Danish Defense Minister who was in attendance, however, the topic of
    the meeting was not discussed. According to U.S. naval personnel on
    board the Kennedy, a special "war room" was set up to coordinate the
    attack. Britain, Australia, Italy, Netherlands, and Japan did not
    attend the meeting because of their opposition to the attack plans.

    Intelligence and military officials around the world are also bracing
    for the results of a U.S. attack on Iran. This includes the distinct
    possibility of a major Shia retaliatory attack in Iraq, the Eastern
    Province of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates,
    Lebanon, and Afghanistan against U.S. military, diplomatic, and
    economic targets in the region. Radioactive fallout from a conventional
    or tactical nuclear attack on Iran will result in major problems with
    Pakistan, India, China, Russia, Japan, and other downwind countries in
    Asia and the Pacific Rim, possibly including the fall of the Pervez
    Musharraf government in Pakistan and replacement by a radical Islamist
    regime having possession of nuclear weapons. That would provoke a
    military response from nuclear power India.

    In a counter-attack, Iran would immediately launch its Shahab I and II
    missiles at the U.S. Green Zone in Baghdad, the Al Udeid airbase in
    Qatar, the US Navy base in Bahrain, Camp Doha base in Kuwait, Al Seeb
    airbase in Oman, Baghdad International Airport, the U.S. base in
    Kandahar, Afghanistan. Iran would also launch its long-range Shahab III
    missiles on the Israeli cities of Tel Aviv, Haifa, Beersheba, Eilat,
    and the Israeli nuclear complex at Dimona. Iranian missiles would also
    be launched at US naval ships in the Persian Gulf and oil installations
    in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.

    The virtual end of NATO as a viable defense organization may also
    result from an attack that will drive a final wedge between Washington
    and Europe. And China may elect to respond financially and militarily
    against the United States since Iran is China's second largest source
    of imported Middle East oil after Saudi Arabia and plans to use an
    Iranian terminal for the export of natural gas from Turkmenistan.
    [China now imports 60 percent of its oil needs, and Iran represents 17
    percent of those imports].

    Russia recently participated in, through the Shanghai Cooperation
    Organization (SCO), a three-way military exercise (code named "Indira
    2005") between Russia, China, and India to prepare for any new U.S.
    power projections in Asia, including an attack on Iran, a prospective
    SCO member. Last August, Russia and China held their first-ever joint
    land-sea-air military exercises.

    Iran also held a large military exercise in early December in Bandar
    Abbas on the Gulf. An Iranian C-130 carrying Iranian journalists from
    Mehrabad airport to Bandar to cover the exercise crashed into a Tehran
    apartment building on December 6, killing at least 116 people,
    including 68 journalists.

    Within the U.S. military and across the globe, there is heightened
    tension about the intentions of the neocon Bush administration and its
    allies in Israel.

    250,000 petition signatures for the Markey Amendment
    April 26th, 2006 by Matt

    250,000 people. In less than a week. Americans like their internet.

    The SavetheInternet.com Coalition today announced that in less than a
    week it had collected more than 250,000 signatures calling on the House
    Energy & Commerce Committee to protect Internet freedom by passing the
    “Markey Amendment” today. Groups on the right and left have worked
    together, and both sides of the political blogosphere have galvanized
    behind this political issue — with nearly 500 blogs linking to
    www.SavetheInternet.com within days.Major telecom companies like AT&T
    and Verizon are spending millions of dollars to get Congress to change
    the rules to let them discriminate on the Internet — forcing Web sites
    to pay “protection money” to ensure their sites will work properly.

    “Internet freedom is under attack today by telecom companies who are
    spending millions lobbying Congress to gut Network Neutrality, the
    First Amendment of the Internet,” said Timothy Karr, campaign director
    of Free Press. “Net Neutrality ensures that the public can view the
    smallest blog just as easily as the largest corporate Web site by
    preventing companies like AT&T from rigging the playing field for only
    the highest-paying sites and services.”

    “The bill before us permits private taxation of the Internet,” said
    Michigan Rep. John Dingell this week.

    Citizens Sign on to Co-Sponsor the Markey Amendment
    April 26th, 2006 by tkarr

    Rep. Nancy Pelosi of California has opened the halls of Congress to you
    and me — but we must act today. She’s asked citizens to co-sponsor Rep.
    Ed Markey’s net neutrality amendment. All you need do is visit Pelosi’s
    site and sign below the “Save the Internet” statement. Here’s a
    snippet:

    We, the undersigned, oppose the lack of Network Neutrality protections
    in the the COPE Act, sponsored by Rep. Joe Barton (R-TX). We strongly
    urge passage of the Network Neutrality amendment sponsored by Rep. Ed
    Markey (D-MA), along with Representatives Rick Boucher (D-VA), Anna
    Eshoo (D-CA), and Jay Inslee (D-WA).

    Whereas, the free and open nature of the Internet has fostered
    unprecedented innovation and economic growth;

    Whereas, a fundamental part of the Internet’s nature is the fact that
    no one owns it and it is open to all comers;

    Whereas, the Barton Bill would block the FCC from restoring meaningful
    protections for Internet consumers and entrepreneurs, and from
    prohibiting the imposition of bottleneck taxes and other discriminatory
    actions on the part of broadband network operators, such as AT&T and
    Verizon;

    Whereas, the imposition of additional fees for Internet content
    providers would unduly burden web-based small businesses, start-ups, as
    well as communications for non-commercial users, religious speech,
    civic involvement, and exercising our First Amendment freedoms;

    Whereas, the Markey amendment will effectively thwart attempts by
    broadband behemoths to block, impair, or degrade a consumer’s ability
    to access any lawful Internet content, application, or service; will
    protect my right to attach any device for use with a broadband
    connection,; will ensure that phone and cable companies cannot favor
    themselves or affiliated parties to the detriment of other broadband
    competitors, innovators, and independent entrepreneurs; and it will
    prohibit the broadband Internet providers from charging extra fees and
    warping the web in a multi-tiered network of bandwidth haves and
    have-nots.

    Therefore, I join as a citizen co-sponsor of the Markey Amendment to
    save the Internet as we know it.

    We couldn’t have said it better ourselves. . . Sign on as soon as you
    can.

    Markey Amendment Introduced
    April 25th, 2006 by Matt

    Here’s video of Ed Markey’s pro-net neutrality amendment presented in
    Committee (the text of the amendment is here, in PDF format). Markey is
    very aggressive about protecting internet freedom. Here’s the first
    paragraph from his opening statement:

    Tomorrow, I will be offering a “Network Neutrality” amendment,
    cosponsored by Mr. Boucher, Ms. Eshoo, and Mr. Inslee, to preserve the
    Internet and its open, non-discriminatory nature. Since the
    Subcommittee vote, dozens of web blogs have started talking about this
    issue. A broad coalition has launched web campaigns, such as
    www.savetheinternet.com, and www.dontmesswiththenet.com. These
    coalitions are diverse and growing hourly. They include leading
    Internet companies such as Ebay, Yahoo, Amazon, as well as
    entrepreneurs, small businesses, consumer groups, Common Cause, Gun
    Owners of America, the National Religious Broadcasters, moveon.org, the
    ACLU, and thousands of concerned citizens. I welcome the support of the
    Internet community in our legislative efforts.

    The reason for the heightened interest is that tens of millions of
    Americans and hundreds of thousands of American businesses use and rely
    upon the Internet every day. In addition to its vital economic role,
    the Internet is also an unparalleled vehicle for open communications by
    non-commercial users, for religious speech, for civic involvement, and
    our First Amendment freedoms.

    Yet the Internet is at endangered because of the misguided provisions
    of the bill before us, which put at grave risk the Internet as an
    engine of innovation, job creation, and economic growth. The bill
    permits the imposition of new fees, or “broadband bottleneck taxes” for
    Internet sites to access high-bandwidth consumers. This will stifle
    openness, endanger our global competitiveness, and warp the web into a
    tiered Internet of bandwidth haves and have-nots. It is the
    introduction of creeping Internet protectionism into the free and open
    World Wide Web.

    Tomorrow’s network neutrality debate will present members with a
    choice. It is a choice between favoring the broadband designs of a
    small handful of very large companies or safeguarding the dreams of
    thousands of inventors, entrepreneurs, and small businesses. Tomorrow
    we will either vote to preserve the Internet as we know it, or instead,
    vote to fundamentally and detrimentally alter it.

    I’d of course be remiss if I didn’t mention that Alyssa Milano blogged
    about the issue today.

    The Fight for Internet Freedom Picks Up More Steam
    April 25th, 2006 by Matt

    We now have over 75 coalition partners, everyone from the Parents
    Television Council to the Texas Internet Service Provider’s Association
    to Consumer Action, and the blogosphere is on fire. We launched
    yesterday, and net neutrality is just blowing up.

    Comic book collectors, video gamers, librarians, hip hop sites, music
    fans, more video gamers, designers, small business owners, and
    nonprofits have heard of the issue and are very angry at the telecom
    cartel’s move.

    And now the tech companies have chimed in with Don’t Mess with the Net.

    Net Neutrality Issue Exploding
    April 25th, 2006 by Matt

    The public is waking up and taking this issue seriously. I’m reading
    posts at Firewheeldesign to Manatheater to Josh Marshall to James
    Hudnall to Ralph Maughan’s Wildlife Reports. And it’s making a
    difference on Capitol Hill, according to National Journal.

    The triple whammy of renewed opposition to the current bill is likely
    to complicate the drive by House Energy and Commerce Committee Joe
    Barton, R-Texas, to win approval. His legislation is highly favored by
    Bell telephone companies seeking to quickly enter the pay-television
    market on a nationwide basis. It is scheduled for a Wednesday committee
    vote.

    Americans like their internet freedom. Congress is finding that out.

    McCurry and the Telco Spinmeisters
    April 24th, 2006 by MarkCooper

    The hiring of former Clinton Administration spinmeister Mike McCurry by
    a front-group funded by the Baby Bells is a text book example of telco
    manipulation of public opinion. McCurry effort to help companies like
    AT&T and Verizon put toll booths on the Internet underscores the inside
    the beltway, best-that-money-can-buy PR campaign they have embarked on
    to convince policymakers and the public that telephone companies should
    dictate which data flows over the Internet to the consumer.

    McCurry is dishonestly spinning this brazen telco grab at Net control
    as a “Hands off the Internet” campaign.

    The history of the Internet is clear and it contradicts this claim. The
    basic approach to the Internet requiring the unimpeded flow of data was
    dictated and funded by the Department of Defense in the 1960s to create
    an open communications system, a policy enforced by the National
    Academy of Science when it took over. The telephone companies, over
    whose lines the data flowed, were not allowed to engage in any sort of
    discrimination or manipulation of access to the Internet because it was
    the policy of the Communications Act, as implemented by the Federal
    Communications Commission in the Computer Inquiries (first launched in
    1968) to keep the network neutral.

    The cable and telephone companies want to abandon this fundamental
    principle for their high-speed Internet, broadband networks. They want
    to be allowed to discriminate against service providers and to charge
    the consumer for access to the network and the content, service, and
    applications providers for access to the consumer. They want to make
    exclusive deals with some services for a fast lane, while others are
    kept off that network. If they are allowed to discriminate they will
    charge lower rates or give priority in routing or speed to their own
    services or their allies, while they punish their competitors.

    McCurry’s will join a stable of lobbyists and front groups dedicated to
    obfuscating this history and turning the facts on their head. In fact,
    this is the second time around for “Hands off The Internet.” In the
    late 1990s it was a front group located in a law firms with close ties
    to AT&T (then a cable company) and its General Council, Jim Ciccone, a
    Department of Justice official in the first Bush administration and the
    Executive Director the Bush Presidential library.

    The cable operators managed to avoid the obligation of operating a
    neutral network in the late 1990s and the U.S. has been slipping in the
    race for broadband Internet adoption ever since. Cable operators charge
    between five and ten times as much for broadband access megabit basis
    as consumers are charged in the leading broadband countries like Japan
    and Korea in Asia, and most of the advanced European nations. The
    telephone companies charge even more. Because this “cozy duopoly” has
    been deregulated by the FCC, not Congress, there is no pressure to
    lower prices.

    Worse still, with the network operators acting as gatekeepers for the
    first time in the history of the Internet, innovators will be driven
    away from the Internet space. In short, they want to turn the Internet
    into a version of cable service, where the network operator, not the
    consumer, decides what services succeed. They will have a strong
    incentive to stifle competition and control innovation. The vibrant,
    Internet economy will be strangled.

    That is why Congress should act to ensure the public has
    nondiscriminatory access to the communications network. This is a
    principle that has applied to every transportation and communications
    network ever deployed in America – roads, canals, steamships,
    railroads, telegraph, telephone, and airports. In the information age,
    it is more important than ever.

    Gun owners, librarians unite against Bells…
    April 24th, 2006 by Matt

    From Telephony online:

    A diverse and perhaps unlikely group of political activists and
    associations assembled today to voice opposition to a U.S. House bill
    that it says would impede InterNet innovation by undermining network
    neutrality.The “SavetheInterNet.com Coalition” includes InterNet
    pioneer and Google executive Vint Cerf, Gun Owners of America,
    political action group Moveon.org, Craigslist founder Craig Newmark,
    Consumer Federation of America, American Library Association and
    others.

    The group pointed to its own diversity–uniting such disparate interests
    as Gun Owners of America and Afro-Netizen.com, an online African
    American community group–as evidence of the righteousness of its cause
    as well as the range of stakeholders in Net neutrality.

    “Whenever you see people on the far left and the far right getting
    together [to oppose the same bill],” said Craig Fields, director of
    InterNet operations for conservative gun advocacy group Gun Owners of
    America, it’s a good indication that, “what Congress is getting ready
    to do is un-American.”

    “If the major telecoms think they can taint or characterize opposition
    to what is a power grab on their part as liberal or an anti-free market
    approach, they’re mistaken,” he said.

    Gun Owners of America on Internet Freedom
    April 24th, 2006 by Matt

    Larry Pratt wrote this letter to Congress:

    Dear Representative,

    As Congress considers major legislation affecting the nation’s
    telecommunications structure, particular attention must be paid towards
    maintaining the Internet as a medium accessible to all, so that the
    free market might continue to determine which goods, services and ideas
    prosper.

    For many years, those few companies whose hardware comprises the
    “skeleton” of the Internet have had to operate under the concept of
    Network Neutrality. That is, when selling their services, they had to
    treat all customers the same… all purchasers of a particular amount of
    bandwidth paid the same and were given the same level of service.

    The result has been a vibrant and competitive marketplace, full of
    innovation and a definite positive force in our nation’s economy.
    Moreover, unfettered access to the Internet has given rise to an
    explosion in grassroots activism all across the political spectrum.
    Every blogger is a potential Patrick Henry, and every grassroots
    association has the means to disseminate its point of view.

    It would be a shame if a handful of major telecoms were free to pick
    and choose which individuals and associations were the recipients of
    quality service – and which were left out in the cold. Without even
    ascribing a political motive to their actions, greed alone will skew
    the Internet marketplace if companies can deny superior quality of
    service to those who choose to use the products of competitors.

    In the case of grassroots outside groups like GOA, equal access to the
    hardware, software, and bandwidth that comprise the Internet is
    essential to a free marketplace of ideas. Indeed, that is what we have
    had all along, and the result has been every bit as significant as the
    development of the printing press.

    That marketplace has thrived even though we are essentially dealing
    with a government-supported oligopoly here. As long as government is
    setting the ground rules, those rules must include forced neutrality in
    order to ensure that the market will determine which goods and services
    prosper. It is not enough that the FCC be empowered to set “policies”
    as such policies would be subject to the whims of future
    administrations. Rather, the concept of Network Neutrality must be
    codified as black-letter law.

    GOA urges you to insist upon Network Neutrality when revamping the
    nation’s telecommunications infrastructure.

    Sincerely,

    Larry Pratt
    Executive Director

    Bloggers Hail Coalition Call for Net Freedom
    April 22nd, 2006 by tkarr

    The blogoshere has lit up with news of the launch of the
    SavetheInternet.com Coalition. Here’s a sampling of the more than 135
    postings that mention or link to the campaign:

    Nero’s Fiddle:

    When you can get Glenn Reynolds and MoveOn.org to unite in common
    cause, you figure it’s got to be a slam-dunk issue. And this one is.
    With almost no noise in the media, the government is mulling ceding
    control of the Internet to the major ISPs, allowing them to selectively
    throttle bandwidth or block sites and services as they see fit.

    David Weinberger at Joho the Blog:

    Remember when democracy had something to do with all people being
    equal? With ensuring that our institutions don’t get too powerful? Net
    neutrality has made the Internet a great equalizer, not just for
    Americans but for voices around the world.

    Boztopia:

    I hope you take the time to read through this and contact the people
    who represent you. It doesn’t matter what your politics are, what you
    use the Web for, or what you think about regulation. This is about
    ensuring the Web continues to remain free . . .

    BlueMeme

    The owners of the pipes make it sound as if supply is tight, and price
    discrimination is the answer. But (a) there is still plenty of unused
    bandwidth out there (which is why prices are falling) and (b) the very
    idea of price discrimination in an environment where both buyers
    (that’s us) and sellers are both paying to hook up to the Web is, well
    insane.

    Kiersten Marek at Kmareka.com:

    This is a cause that we little websites need to be on board with: net
    neutrality. Without it, the big-money players on the internet could
    easily squeeze out access to little websites like this one.
     
    Clif Taylor at Cuddlefish:

    Without net neutrality, decisions now made collectively by millions of
    users will be made in corporate boardrooms. The choice we face now is
    whether people can choose the content and services they want, or
    whether the broadband barons will choose for them.

    Jeff Jarvis at BuzzMachine:

    The age of business models built on scarcity and on keeping your
    customers from doing what they want to do is over.

    Bobby Foley:

    “This is a call for support from Internet users of every demographic.
    This will affect everyone, and right now the issue is a quiet one being
    discussed in Washington . . .

    I Hate Peas:

    This is a huge issue, and without public outcry, I am truly worried
    that Congress will give in to big business over the public good. . .
    Find the members of the Save The Internet coalition here. There’s some
    folks I really respect on it, and some folks I generally have no use
    for, but hey, this is something we can all agree on. . .

    The Internet Has Lots of Friends
    April 22nd, 2006 by Matt

    Earlier today I set up a page on MySpace for Save the Internet. There
    are now 400 friends on the MySpace profile, including the well-regarded
    IPTV broadcast Ask A Ninja. The Internet is very well-liked.

    In related news, Alex Curtis’s video on net neutrality has been seen
    over 8000 times.

    I’ve never seen a pickup like this on a cause, and we haven’t even
    officially announced. Congress is assuming that people don’t really
    care about telecom regulations. This is not true, we very much do care
    about the internet.

    I hadn’t thought of it this way, but already this campaign is showing
    how the telcos vision of a gated community is far inferior in quality,
    creativity, and speed of a free and open internet. For instance, no one
    told Alex to make the video; we didn’t collaborate on it, and he didn’t
    run it by anyone over here to see if it was good. He just made it, put
    it on YouTube, blogged it on the Public Knowledge site, and other
    people liked it and blogged it. No one forced anyone to watch the
    video, or send it to friends. It wasn’t astroturfed with millions of
    dollars of telecom money.

    A free and open internet is just something people care about, precisely
    because it allows them to choose their own path, watch what they want,
    and learn what they want.

    Wednesday, April 26, 2006, SavetheInternet.com Coalition

    Growing
    Right-Left Coalition Gains Momentum,
    Looks to Senate to Save
    Internet Freedom from Telecom Cartel

    WASHINGTON -- Today the House Energy and Commerce
    Committee struck a blow to Internet freedom by voting
    down a proposal to protect Network Neutrality from
    attacks by companies like AT&T, Verizon, and Comcast.

    The diverse, bipartisan SavetheInternet.com Coalition
    vowed to continue rallying public support for Internet
    freedom as the legislation moves to the full House and
    Senate. In less than one week, the coalition gathered
    more than 250,000 petition signatures, rallied more
    than 500 blogs to write about this issue, and flooded
    Congress with thousands of phone calls.

    The "Markey Amendment" supporting Net Neutrality was
    voted down by a vote of 34 to 22. The "Communications
    Opportunity, Promotion and Enhancement Act" telecom
    law, or COPE Act, passed out of the committee without
    any meaningful protection for Net Neutrality. Net
    Neutrality means all online activity must be treated
    equally, and companies like AT&T must allow Internet
    users to view the smallest blog just as easily as the
    largest corporate Web site.

    "The Commerce Committee is headed in the
    opposite direction of where the American public wants
    to go," said Columbia Law Professor Timothy Wu, a pro-
    market advocate and one of the intellectual architects
    of the Net Neutrality principle."Most people favor an
    open and neutral Internet and don't want Internet
    gatekeepers taxing and tollboothing innovation."

    Major telecom companies like AT&T and Verizon are
    spending hundreds of millions of dollars to get
    Congress to change the rules to let them discriminate
    on the Internet -- forcing Web sites to pay "protection
    money" to ensure their sites will work properly.

    "Predictably, the careerist politicians on the House
    Energy and Commerce Committee rolled right over in
    their frantic desire to do the telecoms' bidding," said
    Craig Fields, director of Internet operations for Gun
    Owners of America. "It makes no difference to them
    whether the Internet will remain a free and vibrant
    marketplace of ideas. As far as they are concerned, if
    big business is happy, all is right with America. And
    so we look with hope to the Senate, that supposedly
    august body, which prides itself on its more
    'deliberative' pace and tone. They paint themselves as
    conscientious adults -- perhaps, just perhaps, they'll
    actually act like such when it is their turn to decide
    the future of the Internet."

    Groups on the right and left have banded together, and
    hundreds of bloggers from across the political spectrum
    have galvanized behind this cause, with more than 500
    blogs pointing their readers to SavetheInternet.com.

    "It's shocking that the House continues to deny
    the will of the people on an issue that affects
    everyone so directly -- protecting the free and open
    Internet," said Eli Pariser, Executive Director of
    MoveOn.org Civic Action. "Our bipartisan coalition will
    rally the online community like it's never been
    rallied before, and together the public will overturn
    today's enormous blow to the freedom principle
    that's made the Internet great."

    "Commerce and free expression on the Internet have
    flourished because it's available to everyone on the
    same basis," said Glenn Reynolds, of libertarian blog
    Instapundit.com. "That's how it should continue to be."

    The SavetheInternet.com coalition includes: Gun Owners
    of America, MoveOn.org Civic Action, Craig Newmark of
    Craigslist, Glenn Reynolds (a.k.a. libertarian blogger
    Instapundit), Parents Television Council, United Church
    of Christ, the American Library Association, the
    Consumer Federation of America, Consumers Union, Common
    Cause, Public Knowledge, and other major public
    interest groups. The coalition is spearheaded by Free
    Press, a national, nonpartisan group focused on media
    reform and Internet policy issues. The rapidly
    expanding list of groups supporting Internet freedom is
    available at www.SavetheInternet.com.

    "The diversity of this coalition underscores the
    importance of this issue," said Vint Cerf, one of the
    fathers of the Internet and Google's Chief Internet
    Evangelist. "When the Internet started, you didn't have
    to get permission to start companies. You just got on
    the Net and started your idea."

    The COPE Act next moves from the committee to a full
    House vote. The Senate Commerce Committee is expected
    to take up Net Neutrality legislation in the coming
    weeks.

    "The House vote today ignores a groundswell of popular
    support for Internet freedom," said Ben Scott, policy
    director of Free Press. "We hope that the full House
    will resist the big telecom companies and reject the
    bill. But we look to the Senate to restore meaningful
    protections for net neutrality and ensure that the
    Internet remains open to unlimited economic innovation,
    civic involvement and free speech."

    Internet shut-down in two to four days during flu pandemic: Booz Allen
    Telephone and Internet services could be overwhelmed and shut down in
    the early stages of a bird flu pandemic, according to a report released
    on Thursday. Businesses need to think of other ways to keep going as
    governments close schools and direct people to stay home, management
    consulting firm Booz Allen Hamilton reported... "Telecommunications
    (phone and Internet) will likely be overwhelmed early in a pandemic,
    with experts predicting shut-downs in two to four days, meaning that
    telecommuting will not be viable and alternative communications need to
    be explored," the report read. "Governments will likely direct the
    general population to stay in their homes, and minimize social
    contact," it added. ['Overwhelmed?' No. The Bush bioterror team is
    going to *shut it down.*]

    Why is Booz Allen Hamilton sending a speaker to a Bird Flu Summit?

    Bird flu one of many pandemic threats 27 Apr 2006 Birds are not the
    only source of viruses that could become the next flu pandemic, say two

    from mammals, not birds, as recently suggested... In October 2005, a
    team led by Dr Jeffrey Taubenberger of the Armed Forces Institute of
    Pathology in the US, reported in Nature that the Spanish flu virus,
    which killed millions around the world in 1918-1919, was a bird virus

    The Dog Should Have Barked

    By Ralph Olmholt (757 pilot retired)

    The 9-11 Pentagon silence is thunderous! Witnesses provide identities
    of persons and a timeline for the physical evidence of an event - yet
    the physical evidence just doesn’t support more than a very few of the
    witness claims to the Pentagon event. Too many witness accounts are
    severely lacking in physical evidence. Viable corroboration among the
    different witness reports is conspicuously absent. No one seems to
    notice. For all that was seen, the reports too prominently lack what
    should have been heard.

    As with all of 9-11, the Pentagon account loudly speaks to a cover-up;
    what more can be said for the truth that only God knows. What is
    missing speaks more loudly, than that which is present. See the video
    demonstration at the bottom of this page of a 757 landing to see why
    the sound missing from witness reports is significant. Turn up your
    volume and imagine not remembering that. This aircraft is at about 1/3
    of the power level and speed of the alleged Pentagon aircraft. Watch it
    turn and the end of the runway to get a sense of the size and then
    imagine it vanishing two seconds later with no trace.

    The pre-collapse photos of the Pentagon are clearly missing any obvious
    suggestion of forward-moving damage. That can’t be true if any aircraft
    was involved. The ‘official’ fireball and ‘757’ security video taken
    from the Pentagon guard shack appears to be a fraud. This is evidenced
    by the displaced time-date stamp (a day and a half late) and the fact
    that the Pentagon lawn was unburned in later photos of that same lawn.
    The grassy area in front of the collapsed section should have been
    browned, at a minimum; if not blackened and pitted from the intense
    explosion allegedly shown in the video frames. One witness passionately
    claimed that he ducked the wing of Flight 77; a few yards from the
    Pentagon – disregarding the effect the ‘official’ fireball would have
    had on him. He also forgot important details that no one could ever
    forget – the sound of the roaring engines and the force, heat and
    distinct smell of jet exhaust.

    A major weakness in the 757 argument is that the purported aircraft
    would have encountered a cushion of air known as “Ground Effect", which
    would physically cause an aircraft that size at that speed to remain
    above 50 feet, minimum, unless the nose was lowered to such an extreme
    as to plow a ditch in the grass leading up to the photographed external
    damage. The objects in this area were also undamaged, such as the
    electrical cable spools.

    Another impossibility comes in the claims of the “struck” light poles.
    At a minimum, they would have been violently hurled by the velocity of
    an aircraft doing 345 mph, with very prominent associated damage to the
    lawn and surrounding objects like vehicles. Instead, they are found
    within feet of their original mountings. One pole self-stacked its two
    pieces, one upon the other. Still another toppled in the opposite
    direction of the purported flight path – falling away from the
    Pentagon. Yet another photographically documented light pole ‘gently’
    landed in the windshield of a taxi cab, only damaging the glass
    windshield but not the hood or the window frame. The driver’s face
    wasn’t even cut by flying glass. The closure rate of the cab and light
    pole should have been in the magnitude of at least 150 mph. Clearly,
    the physical damage in the photos doesn’t even remotely suggest such an
    event.

    Another witness reported the stench of kerosene, from the aircraft jet
    fuel – which actually would have smelled like diesel. What of the
    factual evidence? Where are the highly obvious expected descriptions
    and statements?

    The factual 9-11 Pentagon damage is historic – up to a point. The
    reported seismic data says that nothing happened; not in the vicinity
    of the official event time of 9:38. Two stopped Pentagon clocks point
    to approximately 9:31, as do a variety of other reports and quotes. The
    dog didn’t bark on cue. Seismic monitors are sensitive enough to pick
    up a sonic boom; yet they didn’t detect anything representing an
    aircraft impact at the Pentagon on the morning of 9/11? That’s just not
    possible. The chance of discovering the factual 9:31 seismic data today
    is highly unlikely. By now it is in the vault of “National Security” at
    a minimum.

    When you examine the fire rescue reports, the official timing of the
    fire trucks is approximately 3- 5 minutes. That timing is too
    suspicious to be taken seriously. To think that the Reagan
    International Airport fire vehicles could reach the Pentagon in 5
    minutes lacks any measure of credibility. Especially in the heavy
    morning traffic that was brought to a standstill from the events
    occurring at the Pentagon. However, if the factual time of the 9-11
    Pentagon event is 9:31; then the arrival times of the responding fire
    rescue vehicles becomes radically more realistic.

    According to Lee Evey, Manager for the Pentagon Renovation Project:

    “All of those materials working together helps reduce damage to the
    building and to its occupants. And in fact the building stood for
    approximately 35 minutes after impact by the aircraft before collapse
    occurred. As a result, that 35 minutes, critical minutes, allowed
    people within the building an opportunity to escape. Had we not had
    that additional 35 minutes, the total of injury might have been much
    higher than it was.”

    That statement is typical of the elapsed time descriptions during the
    days directly after 9/11, but in stark contrast to the later published
    official time of 19 minutes between the impact and the building
    collapse. Indicative of a cover-up?

    The pictures taken of the heliport building show shrapnel damage. The
    burned remains of a nearby construction trailer were photographed where
    they fell in front of the Pentagon wall. They were not driven up
    against the building by any forward-moving force, let alone an aircraft
    traveling at 345 mph. The trailer damage suggests the possibility of
    explosives placed inside. When you add the lateral damage down the face
    of the building and the unexplained fires in front of the pre-collapse
    building it gets more difficult to explain in terms of a 757.

    A dramatic picture of the 9-11 Pentagon shows a jetting flame from an
    underground utility bunker, presumably a broken gas main. BUT – how do
    you explain the underground line being broken, let alone ignited since
    even the grass was not scorched or damaged?

    The damage to the pre-collapse face of the building has intact
    obstructions, rendering an aircraft strike at ground level impossible –
    even if you disregard “Ground Effect”. Yet, that is where the primary
    damage is located – right at ground level. The orientation of the
    construction yard generator unit as shown in photos taken directly
    after the event is wrong for the damage claimed. Even the location of
    the generator’s fire on 9-11 is in the wrong location relative to an
    aircraft strike.

    Supposedly, a fiberglass aerodynamic fairing and a fragile control
    actuating mechanism gouged a perfectly ‘saw-cut’ channel in the roof of
    the generator. Relative to the photographed position of the generator
    on 9-11 , the cut was nearly 90 degrees away from the claimed direction
    of aircraft travel. If such damage had taken place the aircraft would
    have been rotated further to the right – making the official impact
    point impossible. Again, the wing couldn’t have been that low –
    approximately 12 – 15 feet. Further, the official report has the
    aircraft in a left bank, making the generator strike that much more
    unlikely. There was also no debris left behind from the aircraft after
    these alleged high-speed collisions with very large, heavy objects.

    Except for Rumsfeld’s statement in an interview with Parade Magazine
    indicating a “missile” hit the Pentagon on 9-11, the physical evidence
    otherwise attests to explosives and thermal devices. Then add the
    mysterious fire-rescue response. The Pentagon fire was knocked down in
    seven minutes; yet the Pentagon continued to burn through the night,
    with impunity. No one said a word.

    The Pentagon interior images of the un-collapsed portion of the
    building show a completely blackened interior with destroyed reinforced
    concrete pillars approximately two feet square. The exposed mid-span
    rebar doesn’t show impact damage, yet the concrete is destroyed to the
    spiral rebar core evidenced by the compressed vertical bending of so
    many columns. Lacking any suggestion of an impact, that damage attests
    exclusively to an intense and unexplained heat. Seven to ten minutes
    isn’t enough for any kind of conventional aircraft fuel to do such
    damage. The 9-11 WTC damage is eerily similar. The intact Pentagon
    ceilings attest to the heat being short-lived and very localized.

    The Pentagon exit hole in the A&E drive is almost perfectly round and
    lacks any physical evidence of an object being pushed out through it.
    Any experienced military person would take one look at the exit hole
    with one word in mind, “det-cord” (“detonation chord;” essentially an
    exploding rope). The images of the supposed aircraft debris lack mass,
    compression damage or appropriate sooting and burning. They do however
    appear to be ‘weathered’ as though taken from an aircraft bone-yard and
    conveniently placed for a photo shoot. Students of corrupt political
    history are reminded of a similar plan in 1962 called “Operation
    Northwoods”. In that plan they elaborate on the planting of aircraft
    parts to cover the scene that was actually caused by "radio triggered"
    detonations. They also discuss the use of "plastic bombs in carefully
    chosen spots".

    With an instant lust for 9-11 propaganda images against al Qaeda, the
    various videotapes of the Pentagon events were grabbed by FBI agents
    and sealed to this day under the disguise of “National Security”. What
    is on those tapes that they don't want us to see?

    The pre-collapse photographs display undeniable violent damage to the
    Pentagon right at the level of the construction trailers. One other
    fact to be aware of is that there were no construction personnel on the
    location during normal work hours. There is no viable remnants of the
    purported 757 or any other type of aircraft. Thus, the damage could
    only have been caused by explosives and thermal devices consistently in
    evidence at the Pentagon on 9-11. In any case, the evidence all points
    far away from the official story of a hijacked Flight 77 striking the
    Pentagon.

    The ‘offset’ official forensic graphics cleverly mask the geometry of
    the purported 757 impact. We’re to believe that the 757 wings “folded”
    on impact. Remember, from the photos, that the primary damage to the
    Pentagon face is at ground level – impossible, by a 757 – especially in
    light of the obstructions; but there it is.

    The exterior building damage is sideward, not inward. The widest
    possible “impact hole” to the Pentagon is on the order of 15 feet wide.
    If one buys into the “folding wing” 757 angle, then there is no path,
    nor “reach,” for the aircraft fuselage - or wing - to destroy the
    support columns of the collapsed portion. The purported impact area
    didn’t collapse - but the non-impacted area DID collapse? Ten minutes
    of fire isn’t enough ‘ordinary’ thermal impact - including jet fuel
    (not in evidence) - to do such damage. Exterior or interior, there is
    no viable suggestion of forward-moving impact damage. 200 Knots, or 500
    Knots; the damage just isn’t there.

    Disregarding the needed (and impossible) flight path, no measure of
    damage accounts for the BASIC diameter of a 757 fuselage – alone – not
    to mention wing, engine and tail damage. The widest damage simply
    doesn’t allow for a Boeing 757.

    In the necessary forensic sequence of events, if one can’t put a 757
    through the front of the building – how did those interior aircraft
    pieces arrive for the photo shoot? How did the building damage
    factually occur? The question is the same at the WTC AND Pennsylvania.

    People Turn To
    ExxposeExxon.com As Anger Toward Exxon Grows
    As ExxonMobil Profits,
    National Campaign Against Exxon Gains Popularity

    For Immediate Release: April 26, 2006
    Contact: Shawnee Hoover, 202-546-9707, shoover@exxposeexxon.com

    (Washington, DC) With oil giant ExxonMobil poised to announce another
    quarter of record profits, thousands of people are turning to the
    Exxpose Exxon campaign each day to educate themselves about
    ExxonMobil's egregious environmental record and ways to make a
    difference.

    "The American public is increasingly fed-up with ExxonMobil's profits
    and arrogance," says Shawnee Hoover, Campaign Director for Exxpose
    Exxon, a national coalition of the nation's leading environmental and
    public interest organizations. "Consumers are angry about high gas
    prices and high CEO pay-outs, but they get even angrier when they
    learn about Exxon's agenda to keep us addicted to oil and rob us of a
    sustainable future."

    The coalition reports that its website, ExxposeExxon.com, has seen a
    300 percent jump in visitors per week on average since ExxonMobil
    announced record-breaking 2005 profits of $36.1 billion.

    Exxpose Exxon's call for a consumer boycott of Exxon and Mobil gas
    stations have been echoed by several other groups in recent weeks,
    including the passage of a resolution to boycott ExxonMobil in
    Southern Texas.

    ExxonMobil is the only major oil company to spend $15 million on
    funding global warming skeptics, lobby against national reductions of
    global warming pollution, refuse meaningful investment of its record
    profits in renewable energies, and vocally oppose U.S. efforts to
    become energy independent.

    "We have the technologies to transition our economy off oil and help
    bring down consumer energy costs," says Tim Greeff of the Natural
    Resources Defense Council. "ExxonMobil should invest in these
    renewable technologies or at least stop standing in the way of
    progress toward energy independence."

    The Exxpose Exxon coalition is made up of some of the nation's largest
    environmental and public interest advocacy groups including Defenders
    of Wildlife, Friends of the Earth, Greenpeace, MoveOn.org, Natural

    Subject: The petition

    To the Government of Israel -

    Stop mistreating Mordechai Vanunu!

    Lift the restrictions imposed on him!

    In the past week the Government of Israel has extended for the third
    year the
    restrictions it imposed on Mordechai Vanunu when he was released from
    prison. He
    is forbidden to leave Israel; may not move freely inside Israel; is
    forbidden to
    speak to foreign nationals, 'for fear of causing damage to the security
    of the
    State'.

    Mordechai Vanunu served the sentence that was imposed on him - 18 years
    in
    prison, of which he spent 11 and a half years in complete isolation. He
    came out
    of prison wholly committed to the idea of a world without weapons of
    mass
    destruction - the same idea he upheld when he was imprisoned. He remains
    convinced of the rightness of this cause.

    The element of vengence by the Israeli Government is plain to see.
    No-one in
    their senses believes that Vanunu represents a threat to the security
    of Israel.
    He told everything he knew to the Sunday Times in 1986. All the experts
    in
    Israel and abroad - except those who speak for the secret services -
    agree that
    after 20 years away from the Dimona reactor Vanunu has not a shred of
    information that could endanger the security of the State.

    The restrictions imposed on Mordechai Vanunu violate the basic rights of
    citizens in a democratic country - the freedom of _expression and of
    movement.
    These restrictions also conflict with the Universal Declaration of
    Human Rights,
    and the Convention on Political and Civil Rights.

    Mr Prime Minister, the Chiefs of the Security Services of Israel -

    Let Mordechai Vanunu leave, to live wherever he chooses. He would like
    to have a
    family of his own and to exist as a free man, without Big Brother
    dominating his
    existence.

    Let Mordechai Vanunu go free.

    (On May lst the court hearing will take place in Jerusalem.)

    Internet shut-down in two to four days during flu pandemic: Booz Allen Telephone and Internet services could be overwhelmed and shut down in the early stages of a bird flu pandemic, according to a report released on Thursday. Businesses need to think of other ways to keep going as governments close schools and direct people to stay home, management consulting firm Booz Allen Hamilton reported... "Telecommunications (phone and Internet) will likely be overwhelmed early in a pandemic, with experts predicting shut-downs in two to four days, meaning that telecommuting will not be viable and alternative communications need to be explored," the report read. "Governments will likely direct the general population to stay in their homes, and minimize social contact," it added. ['Overwhelmed?' No. The Bush bioterror team is going to *shut it down.*]

    Why is Booz Allen Hamilton sending a speaker to a Bird Flu Summit? New-Fields 2nd Bird Flu Summit Washington, DC, June 28-29, 2006. By Lori Price "The purpose of the summit is to prepare the US and the world to fight [profit from] this potentially infectious disease." Confirmed speakers: Douglas E. Himberger, vice president and member of the board of directors at Booz Allen Hamilton Inc., USA; Michael S. Cochran, Engelhard Company, USA.

    Bird flu one of many pandemic threats 27 Apr 2006 Birds are not the only source of viruses that could become the next flu pandemic, say two Australian virus experts, who argue the 1918 Spanish flu virus came from mammals, not birds, as recently suggested... In October 2005, a team led by Dr Jeffrey Taubenberger of the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology in the US, reported in Nature that the Spanish flu virus, which killed millions around the world in 1918-1919, was a bird virus that leapt the species barrier into humans.

    Subject: "Lashon Hara" -- calling a man "Anti-Semite"

    Mail Order Torah lesson: "Lashon Hara" or evil talk.

    Forwarded by Joni:

    There is a power in the words that is actually, spiritually destructive.

    When people speak badly about a third person this is the very process which is set in
    motion. This process is fuelled by a power of destruction which is very effective,
    running smoothly from teller to listener to the third person. If Person A lies,
    telling you that Person B is a fraudster or a serial killer, for the rest of your
    life you will remember and believe this as truth at some level. No matter what you
    may subsequently learn when digging up his garden finding no bodies, you are never
    really sure. There's no smoke without fire, as they say. Every time you see that
    person, however far-fetched the allegation, it will cross your mind.

    Conversely, we have a power in speech to build up, to actually create growth and
    strength.

    A child who has thrown eggs all over the kitchen wall, requires telling off and
    perhaps punishment. A parent who understands this aspect of Torah will sit down with
    the child and explain that this behaviour does not become a fine child like them.
    There is no question of allowing the action to pass; but the child is not made to
    clean up because he/she is an idiot, or dirty, or irresponsible; he/she is made to
    clean up because this behaviour does not become him/her. Far from being torn down and
    belittled, the child is built up in stature at that moment.

    When we use our speech to give a blessing, reality is rearranged to conform to that
    blessing. When we use speech for lashon hora, it kills as surely as with a knife.
    Understanding this factor in the creative process, enables us to use our speech to
    elevate ourselves and our environment. Discipline in avoiding lashon hora makes us
    worthy of the awesome responsibility the gift of speech bestows.

    The risk of falling is greater as the opportunity is greater. It takes a lot of
    courage and strength to walk away from lashon hora and, conversely, to speak instead
    words which build, strengthen and positively motivate each other and the world around
    us, but it is so vital for our family and community relationships in order to
    function together and build together.

    Subject: US planned war in Afghanistan long before September 11

    US planned war in
    Afghanistan long before September 11
    http://www.freeindiamedia.com/america/dec01_2.htm
    By Patrick Martin
    Insider
    accounts published in the British, French and Indian media have
    revealed that US officials threatened war against Afghanistan during
    the summer of 2001. These reports include the prediction, made in July,
    that "if the military action went ahead, it would take place before the
    snows started falling in Afghanistan, by the middle of October at the
    latest." The Bush administration began its bombing strikes on the
    hapless, poverty-stricken country October 7, and ground attacks by US
    Special Forces began October 19.
    It is not an accident
    that these revelations have appeared overseas, rather than in the US.
    The ruling classes in these countries have their own economic and
    political interests to look after, which do not coincide, and in some
    cases directly clash, with the drive by the American ruling elite to
    seize control of oil-rich territory in Central Asia.
    The American media has conducted a systematic cover-up of the real
    economic and strategic interests that underlie the war against
    Afghanistan, in order to sustain the pretence that the war emerged
    overnight, full-blown, in response to the terrorist attacks of
    September 11.
    The pundits for the American television networks and major daily
    newspapers celebrate the rapid military defeat of the Taliban regime as
    an unexpected stroke of good fortune. They distract public attention
    from the conclusion that any serious observer would be compelled to
    draw from the events of the past two weeks: that the speedy victory of
    the US-backed forces reveals careful planning and preparation by the
    American military, which must have begun well before the attacks on the
    World Trade Centre and the Pentagon.
    The official American myth is that "everything changed" on the day four
    airliners were hijacked and nearly 5,000 people murdered. The US
    military intervention in Afghanistan, by this account, was hastily
    improvised in less than a month. Deputy Defence Secretary Paul
    Wolfowitz, in a television interview November 18, actually claimed that
    only three weeks went into planning the military onslaught.
    This is only one of countless lies emanating from the Pentagon and
    White House about the war against Afghanistan. The truth is that the US
    intervention was planned in detail and carefully prepared long before
    the terrorist attacks provided the pretext for setting it in motion. If
    history had skipped over September 11, and the events of that day had
    never happened, it is very likely that the United States would have
    gone to war in Afghanistan anyway, and on much the same schedule.
    Afghanistan and the scramble for oil
    The United States ruling elite has been contemplating war in Central
    Asia for at least a decade. As long ago as 1991, following the defeat
    of Iraq in the Persian Gulf War, Newsweek magazine published an article
    headlined "Operation Steppe Shield?" It reported that the US military
    was preparing an operation in Kazakhstan modelled on the Operation
    Desert Shield deployment in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Iraq.
    If the 1991 dissolution of the Soviet Union provided the opportunity
    for the projection of American power into Central Asia, the discovery
    of vast oil and gas reserves provided the incentive. While the Caspian
    Sea coast of Azerbaijan (Baku) has been an oil production centre for a
    century, it was only in the past decade that huge new reserves were
    discovered in the northwest Caspian (Kazakhstan) and in Turkmenistan,
    near the southwest Caspian.
    American oil companies have acquired rights to as much as 75 percent of
    the output of these new fields, and US government officials have hailed
    the Caspian and Central Asia as a potential alternative to dependence
    on oil from the unstable Persian Gulf region. American troops have
    followed in the wake of these contracts. US Special Forces began joint
    operations with Kazakhstan in 1997 and with Uzbekistan a year later,
    training for intervention especially in the mountainous southern region
    that includes Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and northern Afghanistan.
    The major problem in exploiting the energy riches of Central Asia is
    how to get the oil and gas from the landlocked region to the world
    market. US officials have opposed using either the Russian pipeline
    system or the easiest available land route, across Iran to the Persian
    Gulf. Instead, over the past decade, US oil companies and government
    officials have explored a series of alternative pipeline routes-west
    through Azerbaijan, Georgia and Turkey to the Mediterranean; east
    through Kazakhstan and China to the Pacific; and, most relevant to the
    current crisis, south from Turkmenistan across western Afghanistan and
    Pakistan to the Indian Ocean.
    The Afghanistan pipeline route was pushed by the US-based Unocal oil
    company, which engaged in intensive negotiations with the Taliban
    regime. These talks, however, ended in disarray in 1998, as US
    relations with Afghanistan were inflamed by the bombing of US embassies
    in Kenya and Tanzania, for which Osama bin Laden was held responsible.
    In August 1998, the Clinton administration launched cruise missile
    attacks on alleged bin Laden training camps in eastern Afghanistan. The
    US government demanded that the Taliban hand over bin Laden and imposed
    economic sanctions. The pipeline talks languished.
    Subverting the Taliban
    Throughout 1999 the US pressure on Afghanistan increased. On February 3
    of that year, Assistant Secretary of State Karl E. Inderfurth and State
    Department counter terrorism chief Michael Sheehan travelled to
    Islamabad, Pakistan, to meet the Taliban's deputy foreign minister,
    Abdul Jalil. They warned him that the US would hold the government of
    Afghanistan responsible for any further terrorist acts by bin Laden.
    According to a report in the Washington Post (October 3, 2001), the
    Clinton administration and Nawaz Sharif, then president of Pakistan,
    agreed on a joint covert operation to kill Osama bin Laden in 1999. The
    US would supply satellite intelligence, air support and financing,
    while Pakistan supplied the Pushtun-speaking operatives who would
    penetrate southern Afghanistan and carry out the actual killing.
    The Pakistani commando team was up and running and ready to strike by
    October 1999, the Post reported. One former official told the
    newspaper, "It was an enterprise. It was proceeding." Clinton aides
    were delighted at the prospect of a successful assassination, with one
    declaring, "It was like Christmas."
    The attack was aborted on October 12, 1999, when Sharif was overthrown
    in a military coup by General Pervez Musharraf, who halted the proposed
    covert operation. The Clinton administration had to settle for a UN
    Security Council resolution that demanded the Taliban turn over bin
    Laden to "appropriate authorities," but did not require he be handed
    over to the United States.
    McFarlane and Abdul Haq
    US subversion against the Taliban continued in 2000, according to an
    account published November 2 in the Wall Street Journal, written by
    Robert McFarlane, former national security adviser in the Reagan
    administration. McFarlane was hired by two wealthy Chicago commodity
    speculators, Joseph and James Ritchie, to assist them in recruiting and
    organizing anti-Taliban guerrillas among Afghan refugees in Pakistan.
    Their principal Afghan contact was Abdul Haq, the former mujahedin
    leader who was executed by the Taliban last month after an unsuccessful
    attempt to spark a revolt in his home province.
    McFarlane held meetings with Abdul Haq and other former mujahedin in
    the course of the fall and winter of 2000. After the Bush
    administration took office, McFarlane parlayed his Republican
    connections into a series of meetings with State Department, Pentagon
    and even White House officials. All encouraged the preparation of an
    anti-Taliban military campaign.
    During the summer, long before the United States launched air strikes
    on the Taliban, James Ritchie travelled to Tajikistan with Abdul Haq
    and Peter Tomsen, who had been the US special envoy to the Afghan
    opposition during the first Bush administration. There they met with
    Ahmed Shah Massoud, the leader of the Northern Alliance, with the goal
    of coordinating their Pakistan-based attacks with the only military
    force still offering resistance to the Taliban.
    Finally, according to McFarlane, Abdul Haq "decided in mid-August to go
    ahead and launch operations in Afghanistan. He returned to Peshawar,
    Pakistan, to make final preparations." In other words, this phase of
    the anti-Taliban war was under way well before September 11.
    While the Ritchies have been portrayed in the American media as
    freelance operators motivated by emotional ties to Afghanistan, a
    country they lived in briefly while their father worked as a civil
    engineer in the 1950s, at least one report suggests a link to the oil
    pipeline discussions with the Taliban. In 1998 James Ritchie visited
    Afghanistan to discuss with the Taliban a plan to sponsor small
    businesses there. He was accompanied by an official from Delta Oil of
    Saudi Arabia, which was seeking to build a gas pipeline across
    Afghanistan in partnership with an Argentine firm.
    McFarlane's revelations come in the course of a bitter diatribe against
    the CIA for "betraying" Abdul Haq, failing to back his operations in
    Afghanistan, and leaving him to die at the hands of the Taliban. The
    CIA evidently regarded both McFarlane and Abdul Haq as less than
    reliable-and it had its own secret war going on in the same region, the
    southern half of Afghanistan where the population is predominantly
    Pushtun-speaking.
    According to a front-page article in the Washington Post November 18,
    the CIA has been mounting paramilitary operations in southern
    Afghanistan since 1997. The article carries the by line of Bob
    Woodward, the Post writer made famous by Watergate, who is a frequent
    conduit for leaks from top-level military and intelligence officials.
    Woodward provides details about the CIA's role in the current military
    conflict, which includes the deployment of a secret paramilitary unit,
    the Special Activities Division. This force began combat on September
    27, using both operatives on the ground and Predator surveillance
    drones equipped with missiles that could be launched by remote control.
    The Special Activities Division, Woodward reports, "consists of teams
    of about half a dozen men who do not wear military uniforms. The
    division has about 150 fighters, pilots and specialists, and is made up
    mostly of hardened veterans who have retired from the US military.
    "For the last 18 months, the CIA has been working with tribes and
    warlords in southern Afghanistan, and the division's units have helped
    create a significant new network in the region of the Taliban's
    greatest strength."
    This means that the US spy agency was engaged in attacks against the
    Afghan regime-what under other circumstances the American government
    would call terrorism-from the spring of 2000, more than a year before
    the suicide hijackings that destroyed the World Trade Centre and
    damaged the Pentagon.
    With the installation of George Bush in the White House, the focus of
    American policy in Afghanistan shifted from a limited incursion to kill
    or capture bin Laden to preparing a more robust military intervention
    directed at the Taliban regime as a whole.
    The British-based Jane's International Security reported March 15, 2001
    that the new American administration was working with India, Iran and
    Russia "in a concerted front against Afghanistan's Taliban regime."
    India was supplying the Northern Alliance with military equipment,
    advisers and helicopter technicians, the magazine said, and both India
    and Russia were using bases in Tajikistan and Uzbekistan for their
    operations.
    The magazine added: "Several recent meetings between the newly
    instituted Indo-US and Indo-Russian joint working groups on terrorism
    led to this effort to tactically and logistically counter the Taliban.
    Intelligence sources in Delhi said that while India, Russia and Iran
    were leading the anti-Taliban campaign on the ground, Washington was
    giving the Northern Alliance information and logistic support."
    On May 23, the White House announced the appointment of Zalmay
    Khalilzad to a position on the National Security Council as special
    assistant to the president and senior director for Gulf, Southwest Asia
    and Other Regional Issues. Khalilzad is a former official in the Reagan
    and the first Bush administrations. After leaving the government, he
    went to work for Unocal.
    On June 26 of this year, the magazine IndiaReacts reported more details
    of the cooperative efforts of the US, India, Russia and Iran against
    the Taliban regime. "India and Iran will 'facilitate' US and Russian
    plans for 'limited military action' against the Taliban if the
    contemplated tough new economic sanctions don't bend Afghanistan's
    fundamentalist regime," the magazine said.
    At this stage of military planning, the US and Russia were to supply
    direct military assistance to the Northern Alliance, working through
    Uzbekistan and Tajikistan, in order to roll back the Taliban lines
    toward the city of Mazar-e-Sharif-a scenario strikingly similar to what
    actually took place over the past two weeks. An unnamed third country
    supplied the Northern Alliance with anti-tank rockets that had already
    been put to use against the Taliban in early June.
    "Diplomats say that the anti-Taliban move followed a meeting between US
    Secretary of State Colin Powell and Russian Foreign Minister Igor
    Ivanov and later between Powell and Indian Foreign Minister Jaswant
    Singh in Washington," the magazine added. "Russia, Iran and India have
    also held a series of discussions and more diplomatic activity is
    expected."
    Unlike the current campaign, the original plan involved the use of
    military forces from both Uzbekistan and Tajikistan, as well as Russia
    itself. IndiaReacts said that in early June Russian President Vladimir
    Putin told a meeting of the Confederation of Independent States, which
    includes many of the former Soviet republics, that military action
    against the Taliban was in the offing. One effect of September 11 was
    to create the conditions for the United States to intervene on its own,
    without any direct participation by the military forces of the Soviet
    successor states, and thus claim an undisputed American right to
    dictate the shape of a settlement in Afghanistan.
    The US threatens war-before September 11
    In the immediate aftermath of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade
    Centre and the Pentagon, two reports appeared in the British media
    indicating that the US government had threatened military action
    against Afghanistan several months before September 11.
    The BBC's George Arney reported September 18 that American officials
    had told former Pakistani Foreign Secretary Niaz Naik in mid-July of
    plans for military action against the Taliban regime:
    "Mr. Naik said US officials told him of the plan at a UN-sponsored
    international contact group on Afghanistan which took place in Berlin.
    "Mr. Naik told the BBC that at the meeting the US representatives told
    him that unless Bin Laden was handed over swiftly America would take
    military action to kill or capture both Bin Laden and the Taliban
    leader, Mullah Omar.
    "The wider objective, according to Mr. Naik, would be to topple the
    Taliban regime and install a transitional government of moderate
    Afghans in its place-possibly under the leadership of the former Afghan
    King Zahir Shah.
    "Mr. Naik was told that Washington would launch its operation from
    bases in Tajikistan, where American advisers were already in place.
    "He was told that Uzbekistan would also participate in the operation
    and that 17,000 Russian troops were on standby.
    "Mr. Naik was told that if the military action went ahead it would take
    place before the snows started falling in Afghanistan, by the middle of
    October at the latest."
    Four days later, on September 22, the Guardian newspaper confirmed this
    account. The warnings to Afghanistan came out of a four-day meeting of
    senior US, Russian, Iranian and Pakistani officials at a hotel in
    Berlin in mid-July, the third in a series of back-channel conferences
    dubbed "brainstorming on Afghanistan."
    The participants included Naik, together with three Pakistani generals;
    former Iranian Ambassador to the United Nations Saeed Rajai Khorassani;
    Abdullah Abdullah, foreign minister of the Northern Alliance; Nikolai
    Kozyrev, former Russian special envoy to Afghanistan, and several other
    Russian officials; and three Americans: Tom Simons, a former US
    ambassador to Pakistan; Karl Inderfurth, a former assistant secretary
    of state for south Asian affairs; and Lee Coldren, who headed the
    office of Pakistan, Afghan and Bangladesh affairs in the State
    Department until 1997.
    The meeting was convened by Francesc Vendrell, then and now the deputy
    chief UN representative for Afghanistan. While the nominal purpose of
    the conference was to discuss the possible outline of a political
    settlement in Afghanistan, the Taliban refused to attend. The Americans
    discussed the shift in policy toward Afghanistan from Clinton to Bush,
    and strongly suggested that military action was an option.
    While all three American former officials denied making any specific
    threats, Coldren told the Guardian, "there was some discussion of the
    fact that the United States was so disgusted with the Taliban that they
    might be considering some military action." Naik, however, cited one
    American declaring that action against bin Laden was imminent: "This
    time they were very sure. They had all the intelligence and would not
    miss him this time. It would be aerial action, maybe helicopter gun
    ships, and not only overt, but from very close proximity to
    Afghanistan."
    The Guardian summarized: "The threats of war unless the Taliban
    surrendered Osama bin Laden were passed to the regime in Afghanistan by
    the Pakistani government, senior diplomatic sources revealed yesterday.
    The Taliban refused to comply but the serious nature of what they were
    told raises the possibility that Bin Laden, far from launching the
    attacks on the World Trade Centre in New York and the Pentagon out of
    the blue 10 days ago, was launching a pre-emptive strike in response to
    what he saw as US threats."
    Bush, oil and Taliban
    Further light on secret contacts between the Bush administration and
    the Taliban regime is shed by a book released November 15 in France,
    entitled Bin Laden, the Forbidden Truth, written by Jean-Charles
    Brisard and Guillaume Dasquie. Brisard is a former French secret
    service agent, author of a previous report on bin Laden's Al Qaeda
    network, and former director of strategy for the French corporation
    Vivendi, while Dasquie is an investigative journalist.
    The two French authors write that the Bush administration was willing
    to accept the Taliban regime, despite the charges of sponsoring
    terrorism, if it cooperated with plans for the development of the oil
    resources of Central Asia.
    Until August, they claim, the US government saw the Taliban "as a
    source of stability in Central Asia that would enable the construction
    of an oil pipeline across Central Asia." It was only when the Taliban
    refused to accept US conditions that "this rationale of energy security
    changed into a military one."
    By way of corroboration, one should note the curious fact that neither
    the Clinton administration nor the Bush administration ever placed
    Afghanistan on the official State Department list of states charged
    with sponsoring terrorism, despite the acknowledged presence of Osama
    bin Laden as a guest of the Taliban regime. Such a designation would
    have made it impossible for an American oil or construction company to
    sign a deal with Kabul for a pipeline to the Central Asian oil and gas
    fields.
    Talks between the Bush administration and the Taliban began in February
    2001, shortly after Bush's inauguration. A Taliban emissary arrived in
    Washington in March with presents for the new chief executive,
    including an expensive Afghan carpet. But the talks themselves were
    less than cordial. Brisard said, "At one moment during the
    negotiations, the US representatives told the Taliban, 'either you
    accept our offer of a carpet of gold, or we bury you under a carpet of
    bombs'."
    As long as the possibility of a pipeline deal remained, the White House
    stalled any further investigation into the activities of Osama bin
    Laden, Brisard and Dasquie write. They report that John O'Neill, deputy
    director of the FBI, resigned in July in protest over this obstruction.
    O'Neill told them in an interview, "the main obstacles to investigate
    Islamic terrorism were US oil corporate interests and the role played
    by Saudi Arabia in it." In a strange coincidence, O'Neill accepted a
    position as security chief of the World Trade Centre after leaving the
    FBI, and was killed on September 11.
    Confirming Naiz Naik's account of the secret Berlin meeting, the two
    French authors add that there was open discussion of the need for the
    Taliban to facilitate a pipeline from Kazakhstan in order to insure US
    and international recognition. The increasingly acrimonious US-Taliban
    talks were broken off August 2, after a final meeting between US envoy
    Christina Rocca and a Taliban representative in Islamabad. Two months
    later the United States was bombing Kabul.
    The politics of provocation
    This account of the preparations for war against Afghanistan brings us
    to September 11 itself. The terrorist attack that destroyed the World
    Trade Centre and damaged the Pentagon was an important link in the
    chain of causality that produced the US attack on Afghanistan. The US
    government had planned the war well in advance, but the shock of
    September 11 made it politically feasible, by stupefying public opinion
    at home and giving Washington essential leverage on reluctant allies
    abroad.
    Both the American public and dozens of foreign governments were
    stampeded into supporting military action against Afghanistan, in the
    name of the fight against terrorism. The Bush administration targeted
    Kabul without presenting any evidence that either bin Laden or the
    Taliban regime was responsible for the World Trade Centre atrocity. It
    seized on September 11 as the occasion for advancing longstanding
    ambitions to assert American power in Central Asia.
    There is no reason to think that September 11 was merely a fortuitous
    occurrence. Every other detail of the war in Afghanistan was carefully
    prepared. It is unlikely that the American government left to chance
    the question of providing a suitable pretext for military action.
    In the immediate aftermath of September 11, there were press
    reports-again, largely overseas-that US intelligence agencies had
    received specific warnings about large-scale terrorist attacks,
    including the use of hijacked airplanes. It is quite possible that a
    decision was made at the highest levels of the American state to allow
    such an attack to proceed, perhaps without imagining the actual scale
    of the damage, in order to provide the necessary spark for war in
    Afghanistan.
    How otherwise to explain such well-established facts as the decision of
    top officials at the FBI to block an investigation into Zaccarias
    Massaoui, the Franco-Moroccan immigrant who came under suspicion after
    he allegedly sought training from a US flight school on how to steer a
    commercial airliner, but not to take off or land?
    The Minneapolis field office had Massaoui arrested in early August, and
    asked FBI headquarters for permission to conduct further inquiries,
    including a search of the hard drive of his computer. The FBI tops
    refused, on the grounds that there was insufficient evidence of
    criminal intent on Massaoui's part-an astonishing decision for an
    agency not known for its tenderness on the subject of civil liberties.
    This is not to say that the American government deliberately planned
    every detail of the terrorist attacks or anticipated that nearly 5,000
    people would be killed. But the least likely explanation of September
    11 is the official one: that dozens of Islamic fundamentalists, many
    with known ties to Osama bin Laden, were able to carry out a
    wide-ranging conspiracy on three continents, targeting the most
    prominent symbols of American power, without any US intelligence agency
    having the slightest idea of what they were doing.

    The "small plane" theory is that a single-engine jet aircraft, perhaps an F-16 fired a missile ahead of its own crash into the Pentagon west wall at pillar #14.

    Perhaps the tomahawk or other "typical" missile is dropped before firing up, however missiles exist that fire hot from the wing -- gaining those essential fractions of a second so critical in combat. Click on my page here and scroll down to the fourth picture showing an F-16 firing a missile hot from the wing.

    The small-plane theory that I accept has the F-16 firing the missile ahead of itself merely to soften the outer wall for the planes complete entry. This does not mean that other missiles were not converging at the same time. Obviously a missile entered the same wall on the second floor at about pillar 20 -- south of the killer jet impact point at pillar #14.

    I take your word for it, Peter. But the missile that was fired ahead of the killer jet did not have to be a bunker buster -- it just had to soften the outer wall. The plane that entered the wall south of the crash may have been a bunker buster with the characteristics you describe.

    Long ago I concluded that off-wing turbulence knocked down the first pole. I also allow that poles 2,4 and 5 may have been brought down by the jetliner that was flying low over the Pentagon at the same time.

    Yes, this is why we cannot rule out other missiles being in play during this operation.

    Peter, you are the only man who will discuss my theory with me. I hope Allah rewards you.

    Pentagon implements Global Military Policing
    Second 9/11 to provide an "Opportunity" to Intervene

    By Michel Chossudovsky

    April 24, 2006

    The following report raises some very serious concerns. It points to the involvement of US special forces in countries which do not represent a threat to the US and with which the US is not at war. The SOCOM program essentially carries out the mandate of the 2000 Project for a New American Century, which contemplated the sending in of Special Forces in "non theater war" situations. These operations were described in the PNAC as part of the so-called "constabulary functions".

    "Constabulary functions"
    Distinct from theater wars, "constabulary functions" imply a form of global military policing using various instruments of military intervention including punitive bombings and the sending in of US Special Forces, etc. It goes beyond the "preemptive war doctrine": the constabulory operations are predicated on US military intervention in countries which are acknowledged as not constituting a threat to US national security.
    The PNAC outlines a roadmap of conquest. The PNAC blueprint also outlines a consistent framework of war propaganda. One year before 9/11, the PNAC called for "some catastrophic and catalyzing event, like a new Pearl Harbor," which would serve to galvanize US public opinion in support of a war agenda.

    (See http://www.globalresearch.ca/articles/NAC304A.html ).

    The PNAC architects seem to have anticipated with cynical accuracy, the use of the September 11 attacks as "a war pretext incident."
    Special Operations Command carries out the PNAC mandate pertaining to constabulary functions. SOCOM is predicated on a Second 9/11, which could be used to justify US military intervention in the 'global war on terrorism". Its legitimacy rests on the shaky consensus that the "war on terrorism" is real and that Al Qaeda is an outside enemy of the US. The initiative goes beyond the pretext or justification. A second 9/11 now constitutes a golden opportunity to intervene militarily: "Another attack could create both a justification and an opportunity that is lacking today to retaliate against some known targets"
    National Sovereignty
    The program is consistent with the 2005 National Security Strategy. Whereas the preemptive war doctrine envisages military action as a means of "self defense" against countries categorized as "hostile" to the US, the new Pentagon doctrine envisages the possibility of military intervention against countries which do not visibly constitute a threat to the security of the American homeland.
    The conduct of the Special Operations Command program raises serious issues of national sovereignty. It is an imperial project predicated on US military intervention anywhere in the World, using the war on terrorism as the sole pretext. It provides legitimacy to US military intervention in so-called "failed states" or countries which do not share America's conception of a "free market" economy.
    The SOCOM program is characterized by a multibillion dollar budget and some 53,000 special forces. As such, the program overshadows the more discrete covert operations of the CIA. It also marks the militarisation of US foreign policy, overshadowing the diplomatic/ intelligence functions of US embassies around the globe

    New Plans Foresee Fighting Terrorism Beyond War Zones
    Pentagon to Rely on Special Operations

    By Ann Scott Tyson
    Washington Post Staff Writer
    Sunday, April 23, 2006; A01

    Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld has approved the military's most ambitious plan yet to fight terrorism around the world and retaliate more rapidly and decisively in the case of another major terrorist attack on the United States, according to defense officials.
    The long-awaited campaign plan for the global war on terrorism, as well as two subordinate plans also approved within the past month by Rumsfeld, are considered the Pentagon's highest priority, according to officials familiar with the three documents who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak about them publicly.
    Details of the plans are secret, but in general they envision a significantly expanded role for the military -- and, in particular, a growing force of elite Special Operations troops -- in continuous operations to combat terrorism outside of war zones such as Iraq and Afghanistan. Developed over about three years by the Special Operations Command (SOCOM) in Tampa, the plans reflect a beefing up of the Pentagon's involvement in domains traditionally handled by the Central Intelligence Agency and the State Department.
    For example, SOCOM has dispatched small teams of Army Green Berets and other Special Operations troops to U.S. embassies in about 20 countries in the Middle East, Asia, Africa and Latin America, where they do operational planning and intelligence gathering to enhance the ability to conduct military operations where the United States is not at war.
    And in a subtle but important shift contained in a classified order last year, the Pentagon gained the leeway to inform -- rather than gain the approval of -- the U.S. ambassador before conducting military operations in a foreign country, according to several administration officials. "We do not need ambassador-level approval," said one defense official familiar with the order.
    Overall, the plans underscore Rumsfeld's conviction since the September 2001 terrorist attacks that the U.S. military must expand its mission beyond 20th-century conventional warfare by infantry, tanks, ships and fighter jets to fighting non-state groups that are, above all, difficult to find.
    The plans each run more than 100 pages and cover a wide range of overt and clandestine military activities -- such as man-hunting and intelligence gathering on terrorist networks; attacks on terrorist training camps and recruiting efforts; and partnering with foreign militaries to eliminate terrorist sanctuaries. Together, they amount to an assignment of responsibilities to different military commands to conduct what the Pentagon envisions as a "long war" against terrorism.
    The main campaign plan sets priorities, allocates resources such as manpower and funding, and coordinates operations among regional military commands to implement the Pentagon's broader National Military Strategic Plan for the War on Terrorism, published in unclassified form in February. It lays out nine key goals, such as targeting terrorist leaders, safe havens, communications and other logistical support, and countering extremist ideology.
    A second detailed plan is focused specifically on al-Qaeda and associated movements, including more than a dozen groups spread across the Middle East, Central Asia, Southeast Asia and Africa. Such groups include the Egyptian Islamic Jihad and Ansar al-Islam in the Middle East, Jemaah Islamiya in Indonesia, and the Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat in Saharan Africa.
    A third plan sets out how the military can both disrupt and respond to another major terrorist strike on the United States. It includes lengthy annexes that offer a menu of options for the military to retaliate quickly against specific terrorist groups, individuals or state sponsors depending on who is believed to be behind an attack. Another attack could create both a justification and an opportunity that is lacking today to retaliate against some known targets, according to current and former defense officials familiar with the plan.
    This plan details "what terrorists or bad guys we would hit if the gloves came off. The gloves are not off," said one official, who asked not to be identified because of the sensitivity of the subject.
    The Pentagon declined to comment on the counterterrorism plans or their approval, citing longstanding policy. "We do not discuss contingency plans or future operations," said Cmdr. Greg Hicks, a Defense Department spokesman. SOCOM's deputy commander, Vice Adm. Eric T. Olson, said earlier this month in Senate testimony that the plans had been approved.
    Special Operations Command, led by Gen. Doug Brown, has been building up its headquarters and writing the plans since 2003, when Rumsfeld first designated it as the lead command for the war on terrorism. Its budget has grown 60 percent since 2003 to $8 billion in fiscal 2007. President Bush empowered the 53,000-strong command with coordinating the entire military's efforts in counterterrorism in 2004.
    "SOCOM is, in fact, in charge of the global war on terror," Brown said in testimony before the House last month. In this role, SOCOM directs and coordinates actions by the military's regional combatant commands. SOCOM, if directed, can also command its own counterterrorist operations -- such as when a threat spans regional boundaries or the mission is highly sensitive -- but it has not done so yet, according to Olson, and other officials say that is likely to be the exception to the rule.
    To extend its reach to more countries, SOCOM is increasing by 13,000 the number of Special Operations troops, including Special Forces soldiers skilled in language and working with indigenous militaries, and Delta Force operatives and Navy SEAL teams that form clandestine "special mission units" engaged in reconnaissance, intelligence gathering and man-hunting. Already, SOCOM is seeing its biggest deployments in history, with 7,000 troops overseas today, but the majority have been concentrated in Iraq and Afghanistan, with 85 percent last year in the Middle East, Central Asia or the Horn of Africa.
    But SOCOM's more robust role -- while adding manpower, specialized skills and organization to the fight against terrorism -- has also led to some bureaucratic tensions, both inside the military with the joint staff and regional commands, as well as with the CIA and State Department. Such tensions are one reason SOCOM's plan took years.
    When SOCOM first dispatched military liaison teams abroad starting in 2003, they were called "Operational Control Elements," a term changed last year because "it raised the hackles of regional commanders and ambassadors. It was a bad choice of language," said one defense official, adding: "Who can pick on Military Liaison Elements?"
    State Department officials, meanwhile, said that although, for the most part, cooperation with the military teams has been good, they remain concerned over continued "gray areas" regarding their status. "Special Ops wants the flexibility and speed to go in there. . . . but there's understandably questions of how you do that and how you have clear lines of authority," one U.S. official said. There remains "continuing discussion, to put it politely, in terms of how this is going to work," the official said. SOCOM says the teams work for the regional commanders.

    WHAT HAPPEN TO MISSION ACCOMPLISH?
    BUGS


    Published on Friday, April 28, 2006 by the Independent / UK
    Iraq War Set To Be More Expensive Than Vietnam
    by Rupert Cornwell

    The Iraq war has already cost the United States $320bn (£180bn), according to an authoritative new report, and even if a troop withdrawal begins this year, the conflict is set to be more expensive in real terms than the Vietnam War, a generation ago.

    The estimate, circulated this week by the non-partisan Congressional Research Service (CRS), can only increase unease over the US presence in Iraq, whose direct costs now run at some $6bn a month, or $200m a day, with no end in sight.

    The Bush administration has refused to provide any specific overall figure for the war's cost. But the Senate is set to approve another emergency spending bill in May, meaning that Iraq will have consumed $101bn in fiscal 2006 alone, almost double the $51bn of 2003, the year of the invasion itself - and all at a time when the federal budget deficit is running at near record levels.

    But these figures pale beside what lies in store, the CRS says in its analysis. The Bush administration is desperate to announce a reduction in the 130,000-strong US force before November's mid-term elections, where public disillusion with the war threatens disaster for the Republicans.

    However, even if everything goes relatively smoothly, costs until a phase-out is complete could top $370bn. This would make the Iraq conflict, now into its fourth year, more expensive financially than the Vietnam War, which lasted eight years. Vietnam claimed 58,000 American lives, far more than the almost 2,400 lost in Iraq thus far. But in today's dollars it cost "only" $549bn, much less than the $690bn for Iraq, and a projected combined $811bn bill for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

    It is a far cry from the weeks before the war, when a White House official was rapped on the knuckles for suggesting the cost might be between $100bn and $200bn, and Donald Rumsfeld, the Defence Secretary, was touting "a number that's somewhere under $50bn".

    Paul Wolfowitz, now president of the World Bank but then Mr Rumsfeld's deputy at the Pentagon, even theorised before Congress that the post-invasion period might pay for itself as Iraq's oil revenues soared.

    The financial analysis by the Congressional Research Service lists various "key war cost questions" and "major unknowns", such as future troop levels, but its financial conclusions are restrained compared with other non-official figures.

    Scott Wallsten of the American Enterprise Institute, a conservative think-tank, has estimated an overall cost of $500bn thus far, with as much again possible. Most, he says, will be paid for by the US (unlike the 1990-91 Gulf War, which the US fought almost for free, thanks to contributions from Saudi Arabia, Japan and other allies).

    In January, a study by Joseph Stiglitz, the Columbia University economist and former Nobel Prize winner, and the Harvard lecturer Linda Bilmes reckoned the conflict could ultimately cost $2 trillion, if all factors are taken into account. These include the long-term healthcare costs for the 16,000 US soldiers already wounded in the conflict, and other indirect or hidden costs such as the rise in the price of oil, the need to finance larger budget deficits, higher recruiting costs and losses to the economy caused by the wounded.

    The Pentagon has treated such outside estimates with disdain. But it resolutely refused to give a detailed picture of its own. Some experts suggest, however, that the Pentagon may have deliberately inflated its financial needs now, fearing that as the war becomes ever more unpopular, Congress will grow less willing to provide funds in the future.

    Retired Air Force General Warns Another 'Terrorist Attack' On Horizon As Trotskyites Within Government On The Move To Destroy America
    By Greg Szymanski
    4-28-6
    A slow, meticulous and patient takeover of the United States is now under way by a group of Trotskyites embedded in the government using terrorism as a means of "fear and control," according to a retired Air Force General. And the only way to defeat them, said Gen. Ben Parton, is to immediately take back the political process from the treasonous hijackers before it's too late and America is turned into a fascist state. Gen. Parton added the insidious onslaught on freedom is well underway and the initial groundwork of "manipulation and takeover" is clearly visible with events like Ruby Ridge, Waco, Oklahoma City, the first WTC bombing and 911. And now Americans should brace themselves for bigger and more bloody terrorist acts, as the New World Order is not yet finished with its diabolical plan to destroy America from within. Coming from a civilian these ominous sounding words may go in one ear and out the other. But coming from a General with more than 30
    years of active service, the only real question remaining is not if but when the next 911 will take place? "They are not finished with us yet and there will be another terrorist attack," said Gen. Parton in an interview this week on Greg Szymanski's radio show, The Investigative Journal. "The one thing that has to be clearly understood about those who have taken over our government and the governments of most every other country in the world is that they are very patient while calculating every move in order to eliminate any chance of failure." Saying the U.S. government and its intelligence agencies have been infiltrated by New World Order minions and strategists, he warns America 's only chance for survival is a quick takeover of the government, not a military coup or revolution as both will fail due to power structure set up by the enemy. "It boils down to this: the American people need to take back the political process or the New World Order will
    succeed," added Gen. Parton. The New World Order program, according to Gen. Parton, is nothing new and can be traced to the writings of Leon Trotsky in the 1928 Program of the Communist Third International.

    He said the Trotsky plan has been adopted throughout the world, including by those now in command of the U.S., who are pushing the world towards a one world government, meaning the end of liberty, freedom and the American way.
