DOES IRAN'S PRESIDENT WANT ISRAEL WIPED OFF THE MAP AND DOES HE DENY THE HOLOCAUST?
Anneliese Fikentscher and Andreas Neumann
April 19, 2006
An analysis of rhetoric in media on its way to war against Iran -
Commenting on the alleged statements of Iran's President Ahmadinejad -
Authors: Anneliese Fikentscher and Andreas Neumann (Germany), Translation to English: Erik Appleby
...
It's becoming clear. The statements of the Iranian President have been reflected
by the media in a manipulated way. Iran's President betokens the removal of the regimes,
that are in power in Israel and in the USA, to be possible aim for the future. This is correct.
But he never demands the elimination or annihilation of Israel.

Should Israel Live with the Iranian Bomb?
By Edward Bernard Glick
Thomas Friedman of the New York Times has written that "I'd rather live with a nuclear Iran"
because it is "the wisest thing under the circumstances."
Friedman may feel this way and the United States may feel this way, as well. But is it wise
for Israel to feel this way, to avert its eyes from a nuclear Iran and to close its ears
to Iran's calls for its destruction?
In October 2005 the Iranian president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, said that the "Zionist regime"
must "be wiped off the face of the Earth." In April 2006 he called Israel a "fake regime"
that "cannot logically continue to live." Since he apparently favors a second Holocaust,
even as he denies that the first one occurred, Iran's development and deployment
of nuclear weapons would jeopardize the very existence of Israel.
...
Another argument one hears is that if Iran can live with an Israeli nuclear bomb,
why can't Israel live with an Iranian one? The answer is that no Israeli leader
threatens to eradicate Iran.

Subject: Israel Shamir: Lobster for Iran
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/shamireaders/message/702
Lobster for Iran
by Israel Shamir
"Iran's biggest threat since Nazis," said Israeli defence minister Shaul Mofaz, according to the Guardian; "The world must not wait! Since Hitler we Jews have not faced such a threat" as presented by Mahmoud Ahmadinejad who "further stirred international outrage by calling on Israeli Jews to be resettled in Europe" (...thus the Guardian).
These guys are hard to please! In the 1930s, Hitler called for the Jews to be resettled outside of Europe, and they declared war on him. Now Ahmadinejad calls for the resettlement of Jews in Europe, and the Jews still respond with a war cry. That is, unless the Guardian missed the point in its report, and the outrage actually came from the Europeans who preferred the Palestinians to serve as unwilling host to these difficult guests.
Anyway I beg to differ: President Ahmadinejad is the biggest threat since Gerard de Nerval, a flamboyant French poet, promenaded a lobster on a blue ribbon lead, just as one exercises a dog, along the Palais Royal gardens in order to épater le bourgeois. A truly poetic soul, an enfant terrible if ever there was one, Ahmadinejad aimed to wake us up from our over-long after-dinner nap. What can the Iranian do if 'Jews' is the only magic word that awakens us from this slumber? Sexual innuendos would not bestir even a child fresh from his AIDS-awareness lesson. An attack of Christianity would be warmly applauded by the undeniable masters of European minds, Messrs Sauerkraut and Finkelrot. In this post-modernist age, when the Vagina Monologues have entered the matinee repertoire, it is not that easy to épater the increasingly blasé bourgeoisie. If Ahmadinejad would call for the resettlement of six million European Muslims outside of Europe, nobody would raise an eyebrow with the possible exception of Oriana Fallaci and M. Le Pen, who might object to his plagiarism. If he were to call for the erasure of France from the world map, the French would not sit up and pay attention: they think there is already a Brussels directive to this effect!
I admire Ahmadinejad. Not as a politician: let the Iranians judge him on this merit. Not as a divine: I leave this to the Muslims. But as a true poet who unveiled our hypocrisy and slaughtered our last sacred cow. This is the only possible explanation of his deeds and words: Iranians have really no reason to care about the Jewish holocaust, one way or other. Nobody accuses them, not even Mr Yehuda Bauer of Jerusalem's Holocaust memorial institute, who is prone to accuse the World and its niece for failing to save the Jews. The Persians from Cyrus to Hosroes to Mohammad Resa Shah were always good to Jews, and even in these mad days there is a large and flourishing Jewish community in Iran. Ahmadinejad spoke about the Holocaust like Hillary conquered Everest - because it presented a challenge!
The innocent revisionist historians were so excited when he toyed with an idea of "finally discovering the truth". They prepared their well-thumbed books and diagrams of gas consumption and body heat. But Ahmadinejad is interested in the hard facts of World War II about as much as Nerval was interested in exercising his lobster. Acceptance of Holocaust dogma is a sign of submission to the Tel Aviv-New York Axis, a sign of the new colonialism. Ahmadinejad refused it just as St Paul refused to accept the Noahide laws: not because St Paul wanted to partake of pagan sacrifices, but because he did not want to take his orders from the Jews.
The European leaders, the docile supporters of patent war criminals, of George W. Bush, the murderer of umpteen Iraqis, Afghanis and sundry Arabs, of Shaul Mofaz, the murderer of an eight-year-old girl (among hundreds of others) he killed last week in besieged Gaza, all sat up and expressed their outrage. They did not object when Israel strafed and bombed defenceless Gazans. When Israeli politicians threatened to turn Iran into "radioactive desert", they did not describe it as "a call to genocide". By his challenge, president Ahmadinejad saved the honour of human race, as only a poet can do.
I admire Iran, for the fiery crimson of their rose gardens and for the azure of its old mosques, for the ravishing beauty of its women, whose black eyelashes enhance the whiteness of their skin shining through their black chadors. I admire Iran for its marvellous painting that overcame the iconoclastic ravages. I admire Iran for the spiritual subtlety of its poets, who united their love to women with their adoration of God in one undivided chant just as the Song of Songs did. Their Rumi and Jami, Sa'adi and Ferdousi, Hafiz and Khayyam were of the most daring and sincere poets who ever graced our earth. Ahmadinejad is heir to their tradition, a daring mocker of our hypocrisy, a boy who saw through the emperor's new clothes. Even if the ham-fisted Yank should flatten this daredevil, and burn the rose gardens of Shiraz just as he once incinerated the blossoms of Nagasaki, we may be proud of Ahmadinejad, our contemporary who dared to tread on the tiger's tail.
II
The European and American reaction to Iran's nuclear program was that of Uncle Tom's slaveowner, Simon Legree, on learning of an escaped slave. How does this dusky dare to touch the white masters' toys? Their empty talk of an "Iranian threat" is designed for the ignorant: Iran has never, ever attacked a European nation since the wars for Anatolia in the 5th century BC; whereas European imperialists have repeatedly occupied and controlled Iran, most recently in 1942, or by proxy in 1953, when they deposed democratically-elected Mosaddeq and returned to dominate this ancient nation.
Yes, the old colonialism is dead. England can't rule over Iraq, nor France over Algeria, but the new collective colonialism, that of the imperialist Core of highly industrialised Western nations over the rest of the world, is hardly any better. The old masters have decided to pool their resources and powers to rule their erstwhile slaves together. They switched from the Athenian model where a citizen had his slave, to the Spartan model, where slaves belong to all Spartans. In this new collective imperialist universe, the US is the arm, the enforcer of this new colonialism, while the mind, the ideology is supplied by a vast syndicate that unites and coordinates the majority of newspapers and networks of both left and right from Madrid to Moscow and from Texas to Timbuktu, despite their pretensions of competition and rivalry.
This syndicate is the real powerbase of what two American professors, John Mearsheimer of Chicago, and Stephen Walt of Harvard, (M&W for short) politely called 'Israel Lobby in the US', though this syndicate has other fish to fry beside that of the State of Israel's. While fully approving of M&W's endeavour, we should say: they minimised rather than exaggerated the problem, for it is a global, rather than a local (the US) phenomenon. The fearsome AIPAC is just the visible tip of iceberg below which are miles and miles of solid ice: media lords, chief editors, their pundits, Masters of Discourse, in short. As if by a magic wand, the Iranian crisis made it visible to the naked eye: they have all cried out in one mighty voice like the legion of demons in the Capernaum synagogue in response to Christ's words.
In his thought-provoking speech Ahmadinejad said: "The vast Zionist network has been at the service of the imperialists for decades." This is open to an argument whether the Zionist network serves the imperialists, or the imperialists serve this network. It's an example of Managerial Revolution: Jews were managers for the imperialists, until they took over the show, some would say. Oh no, they remained docile to their imperialist overlords, argue others. Whatever position we take, the Zionists and the Imperialists are surely integrated and intermeshed, and if one accepts the idea of the Iranian threat to Israel, one subscribes to this demonic network.
The nations that refuse the Masters of Discourse are subjugated by force. A nuclear weapon serves as a great equaliser, as did the Smith & Wesson gun in the Wild West. In order to prevent too much equalisation, the American pioneers kept guns out of native hands. The same policy now drives the West in its attempts to keep nuclear power out of reach of Iranians.
A few days ago I was invited to a live discussion on Russian TV Channel One, where the Moscow BBC bureau chief rhetorically asked why a peaceful Iran would need ballistic missiles, and he listed the Iranian missile arsenal. He could not answer the question of why a peaceful Britain would need ballistic missiles and nuclear weapons! Actually, why would anybody need one? But if England, with its long and bloody history of subjugating the Third World from Ireland to Japan, may have these toys, then it is likewise the duty of any important country willing to protect its populace from the Western masters' whims.
Yes, Iran is still working on a peaceful program of atomic energy, but if and when that country decides to build the bomb, we may support this decision, as it would enhance peace. Actually, few people did more for the cause of world peace than Julius and Ethel Rosenberg and their associates Harry Gold and Klaus Fuchs. These wonderful men passed the secrets of American-built nuclear weapons to Russia, and thus saved Moscow and St Petersburg from the fate of Hiroshima. Without their heroic deed, the colonial masters would have turned Russia into a radioactive desert. Joseph Stalin passed the know-how to emerging China, and this was a very good deed -- otherwise the Americans wouldn't have hesitated to nuke Vietnam as they did Japan.
The Russian nuclear shield is the only thing Gorbachev and Yeltsin did not break down in their destruction of the Soviet Union, probably because they did not expect the patriotic forces to ever return to power in Moscow. This shield allows the Russians to disregard the nagging of Frau Merkel, and gives them their freedom of choice: to sell their oil and gas to Europe or to turn the stream towards China. It allows the Belarus people to have the president they elected by huge majority: without it, Lukashenka would share the fate of Noriega and Milosevic for his steadfast refusal to sell the assets of Belarus to George Soros. Let Iranians, too, have this freedom of choice, and restore balance in the region.
And to sincere well-wishers of our Israeli well-being I'll say: Iran is no danger. The truth is, the Jews could live extremely well in Palestine. By making peace with the native inhabitants in 1948, we would have kept our common home, Palestine, as the hub of the Middle East with Iraqi oil coming to Haifa refineries and trains from Baghdad to Cairo flying by Lydda and Jaffa, with Muslim pilgrims coming to al Quds on their way to Mecca, with Christians walking in the footsteps of Christ from Bethlehem to Nazareth and with Jews doing their aliya (this word meant an annual pilgrimage to Jerusalem like the Hajj, rather than a permanent immigration to Palestine as Zionists wont). We would prosper beyond our wildest dreams, as the prophets promised, if we were to kick the nasty old habit of separateness and dominance.
It is not too late even now, sixty years and many deaths later. For this purpose, we may take the advice of Ahmadinejad: let the exclusive Jewish state be eliminated from the map of the region to be replaced by one state of all citizens of the land, Jews or not. "The right to govern belongs to all people of Palestine, be they Muslims, Christians, or Jews", said Ahmadinejad, and by golly, only a Jewish supremacist may object to his words.
When I said this at the TV discussion in Moscow, I was attacked by the Chairman of a Russian Jewish Congress and Director of a Zionist Middle East Institute, a greasy and spotty bully of a man with hanging belly, a living cartoon from Der Sturmer, with the fitting name Satanovsky. "Watch out, - told me Satanovsky after the show, - apparently you have never been beaten hard enough. Here in Moscow we know of no restraints of democracy, my Jewish lads will tear your balls off like they did to many men like you. Israel should remain a Jewish state forever". Such Jewish Mafiosi are the real leaders of the Jewish Lobby and chief supporters of the Jewish state abroad. These sort of people lead the Jewish organisations in Russia, in America and elsewhere. They need a Jewish state to escape their lands in the hour of wrath, but we, the ordinary citizens of Israel, do not need it.
However, the Mafia can't rule forever. I take heart in the words of Ahmadinejad: "The young tree of resistance in Palestine is blooming and blooms of faith and desire for freedom are flowering. The Zionist regime is a decaying and crumbling tree that will fall with a storm. (Remember the parable of the barren tree? - ISH) Palestine is the meeting point of right and wrong. The destiny of the region will be decided in the land of Al-Qods and it will be a great honour to share in the victory of Palestine." The victory of Palestine is our victory and we shall be happy to share in it.
"Now, will there be a war?," one is often asked. I have no full confidence of George Bush, he does not share his plans with me. But while the gatekeepers of the Left say that Oil is the reason for the war, in my view Oil can be the reason for peace. As the price of oil has now crossed the $70 threshold, President Bush must decide whether he will survive its hike above $120 -- whether his voters in the red states will happily accept the advice of an American Jewish Congress pundit and director of their Israel/Middle East Office Eran Lerman (previously of Israeli intelligence) to stop driving cars every other day. Bush has the power to steer the US away from its perilous course, and tell to the Jewish Congress pundits to shove it.
And to my Israeli countrymen: I'll remind you of our age-long tradition of friendship with Iran. Two thousand years ago, a picture of the Iranian capital city Susa was presented on the Eastern gate of the Jewish temple in Jerusalem. Mishna (Berakoth 9) called for being especially careful towards it: "never show disrespect to the Eastern gate!" According to Rambam, this was done so that they would have the fear of the king of Persia upon them. This tradition is worth remembering and carefully preserving.

Subject: Re: [TheRevolutionaryCoalition] The Implications of Loose Change 2 a
I recently wrote an article on 911 and gatekeeping for a local paper...I
include for those who care to read....Jeremy
POLITICS VS. JUSTICE
It is an honor to write an article for TGSB. Never more true than today,
we have times when we need a strong counterforce when our culture is
severely out of balance. I have lived in Atlanta since 71 and
remember well the oasis of counterculture that she stood for and is
reviving today.
I have been asked to contribute regarding 911 truth. I have focused
heavily upon this topic every since early 2002 when Mike Rupperts
video, Truth and Lies of 911 was released. For those not aware of the
911 truth movement, it is an effort to expose the overwhelming evidence
that fatally contradicts the official story of 911 and indicates clearly
that elements within are responsible for this crime.
If you are not familiar with this evidence, I recommend visiting
www.ST911.org Scholars for 911 truth, an affiliation of professionals in
the 911 truth movement. At this site you can link to online streaming of
the video Loose Change 2 nd Edition, one of many documentaries that
cover the main points, particularly the controlled demolition of World
Trade Center building 7. Dr. David Griffins book 911 Commission:
Omissions and Distortions is a well-referenced synopsis. Also,
911truth.org, 911sharethetruth.com, reopen911.org and a myriad of others
websites provide a one way ticket down the rabbit hole of what may be
the greatest wool pulling over the peoples eyes in all of history.
Given the failure of the official account to withstand critical analysis
or provide a serious response to the blatant incriminating evidence
presented within 911 truth, I speak and write with confidence that 911
was an inside job and this article follows that presumption. If you have
looked at the evidence thoroughly and disagree with this assessment,
perhaps we can debate the issues at another time. The purpose of this
article is to address reasons why many journalists and scholars of the
liberal body politic are so reluctant to address this issue or even
consider it worthy of attention.
Perhaps beginning with the progressive movement of the early 1900s,
and certainly during Vietnam , there has been a political schism between
liberals and conservatives in America that seems bitterly committed to
vanquishing each others opponent. So it seems odd that a liberal
mindset determined to stop the Bush warmongering would not jump at the
greatest opportunity to expose the subterfuge and treason so clearly
evident in the casus belli that 911 has provided for serial war. With
evidence that would surely give pause if not outright sudden death to
empire gone mad, the liberal media and intelligentsia are passing up the
silver bullet of 911 truth. Certainly the topic of grand treason is the
most difficult to broach, but why play it safe with excuses of
intelligence and policy failures when the future of the world hangs in
the balance? What on earth could be the problem?
A few in the liberal media do draw attention
. notably Mike Malloy.
And Congressperson Cynthia McKinney deserves credit for taking heat for
some insinuating statements, but she has never spoken 911 truth on the
floor, nor publicly endorsed scholars who make damning accusations based
upon factual evidence.
Overall, despite the potential powder keg that 911 truth could deliver,
icons of the liberal camp steer clear. Even if 911 truth turns out to be
wrong, no one could be shamed for pointing out the blatant
inconsistencies and outright lies of the official account. If so, then
Dr. Griffin would have been run out of town on a rail. As it is, he is
simply ignored. Real dialogue and evidence is shuffled off to the side
while the left/right polemical diatribes continue on ad nauseam. Though
911 truth could cut to the chase and expose the emperors nudity,
the empire rest firmly in place.
Can you say controlled opposition?
Now I will admit that if there were not a CIA and other covert U.S.
agencies committing atrocities and coup de tates around the world like
Project Gladio, the NATO/CIA false flag operation of subway bombings in
Italy blamed on the Communists to manipulate elections, the overthrow of
Allende in Chile, Mossadeqh in Iran, Arbenz in Guatemala, to name a very
few, and countless murders of innocent people worldwide, then it would
be unreasonable to think that elements within our government are
inclined to such behavior. But in fact, as liberal patriarch Bill Moyers
has so well chronicled, its their modus operandi. And if there were
no Council on Foreign Relations and Trilateral Commission with members
like Zbigniew Brzezinski and Georgetown Professor Carol Quigley writing
books that outline a concerted effort among these organizations to wage
war to reshape the world in their image then 911 truth should be viewed
with greater skepticism before given a forum. But the liberal scholars
of our day have made an industry off of this criminal behavior within
the ranks of federal government. Is there any reason beyond sentimental
wishful thinking to suppose they would not extend this criminal conduct
at home, especially given the fact of official projects to infect the
population with radiation and biological and chemical agents? Why such a
strong objection to a false flag operation at home now that there exists
so much evidence that this is exactly the case?
The accusation of controlled opposition may seem harsh, but if the
liberal pundits were to expound upon the admitted intentions of the
empire builders to enact controlled opposition within America as hardily
as they expose the hegemony of empire, we might get somewhere. As it is,
foot soldiers of the left unwittingly follow those pundits with high
hopes of social change, never really looking behind the curtain.
"The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit
the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within
that spectrum." - Noam Chomsky
Time does not permit a detailing of the history of how powerful public
policy institutions like the Carnegie Institute hobbled political debate
with plans of controlled opposition. It becomes self evident when we
look at the acquiescence of the left to the blatant conspiracy to kill
JFK. Every year, with violins playing in the background, NPRs
Daniel Shore reassures us we have a psychological need for conspiracy
theories to cope with the stress of losing a great leader. (Though I
fail to see how believing that my own government whacked JFK is supposed
to bring me comfort) Bowing slightly to reality, Chomsky and Cockburn
admit that even if its true, its not beneficial to go there. The liberal
cause will be better served if we just move on.
Noam Chomsky has made this statement regarding 911 inside job, "That's
an internet theory and it's hopelessly implausible. Hopelessly
implausible. So hopelessly implausible I don't see any point in talking
about it."
He has not addressed the evidence, like the controlled demolition of
building 7, the NORAD response debacle or a myriad of other factors that
indict the empire.
Noam Chomsky has taken great pains to expose the abuses of empire and
its facilitators. From E. Timor massacre to the takeover of media by
ruthless corporate agendas, Noam has been a beacon of righteous
indignation against the system. Or should I qualify that, and say,
within the system.
For whatever reason, and I cant presume what is in his heart, Noam
does not bring out the big guns when going after crimes of the empire.
To this day he stands by the Warren Commissions findings that
Oswald acted alone, despite a Congressional finding in 1978 that new
evidence confirms a conspiracy. Professor Joan Mellons meticulous
new book Farewell to Justice makes the CIA connections that Jim Garrison
had not the time or resources to complete. Here as well, the liberal
response to such a powerful indictment of the empire is deafening in its
silence. Waco would be another good example: Congressman Burtons
investigation concluding that the infrared video showing snipers firing
upon persons in the building was just a fluke of light was an
obvious sham, exposed with little effort by independent researches.
Again, silence.
How can the liberal camp be so quick to expose great crimes of empire
when they occur across the border, but seem stricken by a spell of
obsequiousness when those great crimes occur within America ? Is it like
a family stricken with the realization that Daddy has done something so
terribly wrong and that we must not speak of it, least the family not
survive? In essence, do liberals accept the empire as a fait accompli?
Their task is not to eliminate empire but to work within it, to
challenge the misdeeds but not the doer. Any issue that is too powerful,
that would require an overhaul of the institutions of society that
presently dominate the political discourse, (within which, liberalism is
firmly entrenched) is off the table. This would be understandable. Such
issues might be viewed as evidence that the state is corrupt beyond
salvation and nothing short of revolution could restore the republic.
And people who like big government, (and thats everybody except
libertarians, anarchists and Rush Limbaugh - and hes only
pretending in order to dupe his conservative listeners into thinking
limited government is still taken seriously by the Republican
leadership) dont want to even mention the word republic least
people remember what America once really stood for.
Both parties are now committed statists. For them, there is only one
solution to problems of government: more government. But by definition,
empire cannot be controlled. It must be prevented.
So what does America really stand for? Heres my spiel.
IMHO, our Constitutional Republic is a prescription for limited
government and thus the control of empire. Albeit flawed in detail, but
not in concept, it provides a social contract wherein the citizen grants
authority to the state because each possesses inherent rights that
supersede powers of the state. The individual is self-sovereign. Through
checks and balances the state is subservient to the individuals
conscience. And empire is held at abeyance while private society enjoys
civil and personal liberties. Certainly it seems to have failed in
spades. But that failure can be directly correlated to the erosion of
its principles by a degenerative political culture beginning with the co
opting of the progressive movement and the migration of addressing
grievances from the courtroom to government bureaucracy. No article
could do justice to this convoluted issue, but I would like to try to
encapsulate it -
The reduction and elimination of violence is the mark of civilization.
Nonviolence is the truest means of effecting social change with a
lasting benefit. A social contract that has this goal as its raison
detre seems most conducive to social harmony and prosperity. George
Washington said it first
government is violence. It is a fearful
servant and a terrible master. Laws of government are enforced
keyword being force. Every law, every government program, has
within it the initiation of violence. Though subtle and usually unseen,
it is nonetheless a constant presence and not without effect upon the
social psyche. As such, the necessary evil that is government should be
reserved to ensuring a judicial response to the violations of one
persons rights by another, tendered by the impartial discretions of
a jury system, rather than a preemptive regulatory function by the state
that is quickly co-opted and perverted by special interests (read
corporate fascism). The former is the prescription of our republic that
I encourage we seek again. And that means the sacrifice of government
programs that, however well intentioned, violate the principles of the
republic and are surely co opted by corporate designs and made fertile
ground for fascism and empire at the expense of civil liberties and
healthy economic prosperity that has forever been directly proportional
to personal liberty. In essence, recalling the Jeffersonian preference
to decentralization; empowering the tenth amendment and restoring the
function of Federalism as a guarantor of civil liberties rather than a
threat to them.
But the liberal and conservative leadership, entrenched in a good
cop/bad cop routine upon the private citizen, are in an arms race of
government engineering. We forget they are both working for the same
department, intent on vanquishing self sovereignty. Should this
continue, we will lose the distinction of privacy and all become
subjects of an Orwellian State, bereft of civil liberties. In essence, a
return to the social contract America sought to escape.
I am digressing with this patriotic rant, but there is a connection.
Empire and social engineering go hand in hand. Exposing 911 truth could
be a coup de grace to the evil empire now rising from the ashes of 911.
It would seem, therefore, to threaten the liberal agenda as well. Here,
I believe, is a major cause of the silence from the liberal camp.
It need not be an intentional effort by the vast majority on either
side. The followers of both ideologies take their cues from the
hierophants that are often in the employ of academic institutions and
think tanks that are funded by the military industrial complex. Money
has a way of speaking for itself. There is analogy in the health
industry. The medical teaching and research industry has been funded for
the past century by the coal tar based, allopathic pharmaceutical
industry, namely, via the Rockefeller institute. Though the side effects
of the prescribed drugs are the third leading cause of death, debate
within the industry on their value to society is surely influenced by
financial realities. A diabetic person entrapped in this system is worth
$750,000 over the average lifespan. Doctors are learning, but it is
difficult overcoming the indoctrination that the funding of medical
colleges by industry has wrought. The problem is only so serious because
the empire of pharmaceutical medicine has indoctrinated us with the need
for the police powers of governmental regulations like the FDA that have
effectively and forcefully excluded much better alternatives.
This forced diet of petroleum medicine has provided a healthy care
program for the big ten drug, manufacturers whose profits exceed all
other fortune 500 combined; but most folks are victimized by this
custodial view of government. Where is the self sovereignty and right to
choice? How can we send young men and women to fight for freedom and not
demand it at home? There are private alternatives to this protection
racket that simply require a responsible effort from the individual. We
have traded liberty for security and now have neither. Were 911 truly an
attack from without, I would not postulate that we are being plundered
from within. But there you have it. As surely as seeing the Huns
charging toward the village with battleaxes raised, but with all the
finesse that Madison Avenue affords we are under attack by elements we
hardly can identify. The financial co-opting of government that drove
our military machine around the globe this past century has come home to
roost. It is out to eliminate liberty and replace it with a saccharine
brave new world. Can we stop this little shop of horrors of big
government by feeding it more, or by returning to the nonviolent
principles idealized in our constitution? Our self reliance will reduce
empire and its attack upon ourselves and the world.
The dynamics of how our government is hijacked and society plundered
will be the subject of future articles relating to our monetary
system
the Federal Reserve. For now, the details are not necessary.
The evidence is blatant and the time is now. It is imperative that we
promote 911 truth if we are to ever expose and rid ourselves of empire
and oligarchy. We must forego looking to others for the lead. We can
show one another the truth and let social dynamics of this knowledge
take its course. Martin Luther had the new printing press, we have dvd
burners. It is a tough choice to expose this terrible thing, but what
choice is there, really? Does any political expediency ever trump
justice? Its not about political strategy, its about right and
wrong and what kind of a world we want for future generations.
I would like to close with the stinging words of a great liberal,
Vincent Salandria. Now in his 70s, he fought long and hard to
expose the JFK assassination as the work of the National Security State
. In the end, he became resigned to an awful realization. He spoke these
words to a younger colleague
. I'm afraid we were misled. All
the critics, myself included, were misled very early. I see that now. We
spent too much time and effort micro analyzing the details of the
assassination when all the time it was obvious, it was blatantly obvious
that it was a conspiracy. Don't you think that the men who killed
Kennedy had the means to do it in the most sophisticated and subtle way?
They chose not to. Instead, they picked the shooting gallery that was
Dealey Plaza and did it in the most barbarous and openly arrogant
manner. The cover story was transparent and designed not to hold, to
fall apart at the slightest scrutiny. The forces that killed Kennedy
wanted the message clear: 'We are in control and no one - not the
President, nor Congress, nor any elected official - no one can do
anything about it.' It was a message to the people that their Government
was powerless."
"The tyranny of power is here. Current events tell us that those who
killed Kennedy can only perpetuate their power by promoting social
upheaval both at home and abroad. And that will lead not to revolution
but repression. I suggest to you, my friend, that the interests of those
who killed Kennedy now transcend national boundaries and national
priorities. No doubt we are dealing now with an international
conspiracy. We must face the fact -- not waste any more time micro
analyzing the evidence. That's exactly what they want us to do. They
have kept us busy for so long. And I will bet, buddy, that is what will
happen to you. They'll keep you very, very busy and eventually, they'll
wear you down."
911 is in your face blatancy. Is it a message that resistance
is futile and freedom is only a jingle for the jingoheads. Chase
windmills if you must, but stay within the directives of your appointed
leaders, and dont look at that man behind the curtain. Empire is
not to be examined in real ways. Is this our lot? Is this, in reality,
the sum history of civilization? Its a rigged game, but now that we
have the information age, it has become necessary to send the message
that, yes, now that you mention it, you are slaves.
Possibly. Regardless, we have a choice only we can make and 911 truth
affords do we resign ourselves to empire or do we attempt to
extricate it from human endeavor as we progress toward the stars. Do we
live in blissful willful blindness or do we rise above it?
America stumbled in her beginnings. Abuses of Native Americans and
slavery are karmic burdens we must overcome. She has her problems. But
she offers a means of social reconciliation and achievement that
oligarchy and all its patriarchal will could never achieve, nor even
want to.
911 marks the endgame of a historical consortium of plutocrats to
re-enthrone feudalism and facilitate full throttle colonialism,
emboldened with technological advantage and a brain-dead populace. Their
own doctrines and behavior betray this intent. The American vision to
ignite the human spirits call to new frontiers under the banner of
self sovereignty is far preferable to the ruling elite of inbred, amoral
power mongers now attempting to expunge true liberty from world culture.
If they succeed, there will no place left on earth to hide. But with 911
truth we can expose and overcome the commissars of public debate that
have inculcated controlled opposition into the discourse and limited our
ability to eliminate empire from the world. Though some argue that
general populace is incapable of self determination and oligarchy with
all its unpleasant trappings is a necessity, I take it on faith that the
Age of Enlightenment was not in vain in its founding of America and that
humanity is more capable of charting the tumultuous future than the
parasitic moneychangers that have co opted the Constitution. Their
elimination could be the greatest hurdle to vault on our path to the
stars. Great fear comes from confronting the sins of the father
government. But we must if we are to have any semblance of real liberty
and a secure future existence as anything but automatons. And all we
have to do is tell the truth.
We are at the crossroads of politics and justice. Is there really a
choice?

From: Graham Jukes
April 30, 2006
Subject: Getting back to the basics of 9/11
False Flagg" op called Rosetta Stone of 9/11
Jerry Mazza, Online Journal Contributing Writer
April 29, 2006
You know. A false flag op is when a nation attacks itself but makes it appear that an enemy has committed the attack. This way it stirs its more or less peace-loving people into going to war with the demonized "enemy." It's false flag ops 1.1.
And Flagg is not a misspelling of flag but the name of a former FBI agent, Warren Flagg who (along with a former federal prosecutor) helped direct the New England investigation of the Sept. 11 attacks. Flagg was nice enough in a Newsday.com piece by Michael Dorman to mention that "one bag found in Boston contained far more than what the commission report cited, including the names of the hijackers, their assignments and their al-Qaida connections." Gee, what luck!
How wonderfully thoughtful of the hijackers to leave what Flagg termed this "Rosetta stone" behind so everything could be figured out so quickly and with such ease. You have to admit that was white of those dusky Mid-Easterners. One of the pieces of luggage was said to include "Arab-language papers amounting to Atta's last will and testament, along with instructions to the other hijackers to prepare themselves physically and spiritually for death." Boy, this Atta guy thought of everything. But why go blabbing it all in two suitcases? He was supposed to be a terrorist not a PR man.
And if that weren't enough, Mohamed Attta, purportedly the leader of the gang of 19, and who purportedly piloted Flight 11 into Tower 1, reminded the guys: "Check all of your items -- your bag, your clothes, knives, your will, your Ids, your passport, your papers. . . . Make sure that nobody is following you." Then, by another amazing coincidence, similar papers were found in the wreckage of another airliner.
In still another coincidence, slugabed Atta and co-conspirator Abuldaziz AlAlmorai checked out of room 232 of the Comfort Inn south of Portland at 5:33 a.m. on 9/11, driving their rented blue Nissan Altima to the airport, arriving in a lot at 6 a.m. with only a few minutes to catch a commuter flight to Boston's Logan Airport. In fact, their last-minute check-in caused their two bags not to make that flight. What? Yes, start the day with a screw-up and it ends in disaster. Or did it, at least for them?
I mean, as they go off to catch their later American Airlines Flight 11, their bags (or should we call them Baggs to rhyme with Flaggs?) came late to Logan and, 'mirable dictu' as Virgil would say, were discovered by the right security people. What's more, Atta and Almari's bags had all kinds of goodies in them: correspondence from the University Atta went to in Egypt, Almari's international driver's license and passport, a videocassette for a Boeing 757 flight simulator, a folding knife and pepper spray, extra heavy duty weapons they figured they didn't need.
As agent Flagg would say, "It had all these Arab-language papers that amounted to the Rosetta stone of the investigation." His sidekick, a former federal prosecutor, who did not wish to be identified publicly (and who could blame him?), certainly supported Flagg's account. Aren't you wondering by now why these "turrists" would want to lug their plans, scams, IDs et al, in a couple of bags and dump them in a last minute check-in? Generally, a gate attendant will tell you if your baggage will make your flight or land on a later one. This means you'd be leaving all this heavy-duty info spinning in the wind.
I mean, did Dillinger leave his home address in a bank safe he busted into? Did Al Capone leave a box of chocolates with a card with his name on it at the "Valentine Day" massacre in Chicago? Did John Gotti leave a calling card on Paul Castellano's bullet riddled body after the dapper don and buddy popped the Gambino crime family boss and chauffeur in front of Spark's Steak House in Manhattan? C'mon, you're pulling my leg.
I mean what kind of malefactors would be that stupid, unless they were setting up a false-flag op? Like, "see, everybody we're the guys that did it, 9/11; we are Arabs, see the writing; hey, here's a knife, some maps, a CD to fly a 757; hello, don't look so hard. We give up, ha-ha, but we'll be dead by the time you read this. And so will some 2,900 people. So you can blame The War on Terror on us as soon as possible, ASAP. Right. Here are the clues." It's like Catch Us If Can, the ultimate reality TV show. Oh god, why has thou forsaken us. Cause we're so dumb.
But Flagg Asks the BIG Question
Yup, Agent Flagg goes on to ask . . ."How do you think the government was able to identify all 19 hijackers almost immediately after the attacks. They were identified through those papers in the luggage. And that's how it was known so soon that al-Qaida was behind the hijackings." Wow, is that how they made the connection? And so fast?
I was wondering about that. And how a couple of months later FBI Director Robert Mueller said on CNN, that there was no factual proof these were the guys. But hey, maybe he didn't have his coffee that morning. The thing is what if you, we, America, were set up that day? Er, say what?
What if the clues were put there to cover the tracks of the real Bad Bush Boyz, not these lap dancer hounds, boozing and coking joy boys, trained at American military bases, conspicuously leaving a paper trail so blatant it'd make Hansel and Gretel's breadcrumbs look like canary eggs. And yet these same document droppers were barely able to get to the airport on time? They must have been exhausted driving up to Portland just to fly back to make this smoke screen where supposedly there would be less security to halt their efforts.
But wait. Can we be sure when they got back to Boston, if they did, that they even got on the planes? They weren't on the manifests. Their DNA would have been boiled to a crisp in the hits. And was it clear they even flew the planes?
It's like the old Schnozzola, Jimmy Durante himself would say: "What a revoltin' development this is." It's revolting in every way, James. Nothing like we'd ever seen before. Except maybe in the "Sinking of the Maine," "Operation Northwoods," "Operation Mongoose," "The Murrah Building Blow-Up" in Oklahoma City, The Cuba-supporting lone gunman Lee Harvey Oswald, and so on. Yeah, it's the Cubans. They did it all. Let's go smoke 'em out. Our cigars are bigger than theirs.
Flagg Is Doing Okay Now
Guess what. After 22 years on terrorism and other cases, Flagg retired from the FBI before 9/11 and is now set up in his own Manhattan-based investigative firm, Flaggman, Inc. Clever, hah. He stays in touch with the Boyz at the FBI, both old buddies and prosecutors. In fact, he first heard about the old Rosetta stone (I mean luggage)'s importance to the whitewash (I mean investigation), on Sept 28, 2001, after attending the funeral of John O'Neill.
You remember O'Neill. He was the FBI chief of terrorist head-hunting who, frustrated by having his Osama-chases foiled time and time again, quit the FBI after 30 years of service. Unfortunately, he died in Tower 2. Yes, O'Neill died trying to help people out of the building, kind of guy he was, and maybe knew too much as well.
At the funeral, Flagg met a young FBI agent that he had helped train. The young agent had since left the agency for Dubai, gulp, and told Flagg all about the Suitcase Revelations. Name of the father, son and holy molly. Flagg rang up his old prosecutor buddy and got confirmation of the young guy's account.
"I was devasted because word had already leaked out of the hijacker's identities," Flagg opined. Then in a quick change of spirit added, "But I was also excited that the FBI had so much evidence so quickly." Frigging miracle.
Too bad the government couldn't put all its previous intelligence together and stopped the whole thing, seeing how it had been laid out before 9/11. Too bad NORAD fell apart that day. Too bad that five simultaneous terror hijacking drills were going on, that up to 22 planes filled the air controllers' screens, and nobody knew what the hell was real and what wasn't. Too bad, right.
But hey, the Bad Boyz left lots of breadcrumbs like suitcases along the way that led right to the White House: Dick Cheney in the Control Room, George Bush in a Florida school listening to kids read a goat story, the Pentagon and Donald Rumsfeld ducking the missile, NORAD, the CIA, FBI, Israeli and even Chinese black ops. And they lead to others in the US entrusted with protecting us who instead turned on us and took part in this Great American Tragedy. "What a revoltin development this is." Yes James, you're right again. So let's revolt, Mrs. Calabash, wherever you are.
And last but not least. Did you know that Flagg said it really was the second bag that identified all 19 hijackers? Got that? Though he didn't comment on the fact that at least seven of the "hijackers" have been noted alive, well and kicking in the Middle East. But hey, that's what a "False Flagg" op is all about, blaming the homegrown havoc on people you want to attack. Mmmm, gimme that Afghanistan, gimme theme pipelines, gimme Iraq, gimme that oil, gimme da Mid-east today, gimme da world tomorrow. Mmmm. Where'd I hear that song before?

Subject: Fw: Flight 93 cockpit recording a hoax
From: "World View"
April 30, 2006
Flight 93 cockpit recording is a hoax
http://flyingimam.blogspot.com/2006/04/flight-93-cockpit-recording-is-hoax.html
I will stick my neck out and declare it a hoax: Jurors in the
al-Moussaoui trial were shown alleged cockpit voice recordings of the
final stages of the hijacking of United Airlines flight 93. It was
played to the court accompanied by a video showing gruesome pictures
of charred bodies, so it was intended to stir emotions rather than to
provide hard evidence. The defence team's objections to the type of
evidence were over-ruled.
It took the authorities a long time to come up with evidence from the
flight recorders which they had earlier stated were not recoverable.
It seems to me they still did a rather sloppy job when replacing the
real recordings with this dramatic production. Here is why:
First of all, Cockpit voice recordings and recordings of air traffic
communications are separated, yet in this case they appear together. I
only have the transcript to go by since the actual recordings have not
been released. I cannot establish from the transcript at what volume
certain parts of it appear. It is possible that the crew instead of
using headsets would have switched air traffic communications onto the
cabin loud speakers so that they would also be audible in the cockpit.
It does, however, not explain why we can hear communications from air
traffic control and another plane on the frequency, but we cannot hear
the communications by flight 93 crew to air traffic control, although
those should have been a lot more audible.
According to the transcript air traffic control received a
communication that there was a bomb on board, but we do not hear the
pilots stating so. Air traffic control ask another plane on the
frequency whether this is what they heard and they confirm. This means
that the pilots must have stated so on the frequency. Air traffic
control could not have gauged this information from the transponder
code selected by the pilots as this would not be accessible to the
crew of the third plane nor would it be specific. There is a
transponder code for hijacking, but not for a bomb on board. Air
traffic control could not have taken this information from what the
hijackers said either, since to transmit a message to air traffic
control the pilot has to press a push-to-talk button and the noise
cancelling microphone will not pick up anything from the background.
However, let's assume, unlikely as this is, that they did pick up what
the hijackers said according to the transcript, namely: "Ladies and
Gentlemen. Here the captain, please sit down keep remaining seating.
We have a bomb on board. So sit." Here the script writers for the
audio/video presentation made their biggest blunder. According to the
script those remarks were made in Arabic. Air traffic could have got
them translated, although not instantaneously, and they would have had
to figure out what language they were dealing with first, but there is
no chance that the crew of Executive Jet 956, the third plane on the
frequency, could have understood those remarks.
The script writers made sure that there is plenty of Arabic in the
recording to firmly establish the origin of the hijackers. They also
add plenty of Bismillahs and Allahu akbars to show that these are
Muslim fanatics. With the above quoted remark they have, however, gone
over the top by making the translation sound foreign as well. Either
they had a very incompetent translator or they weren't sure whether
they should script this remark in Arabic or English - "keep remaining
seating" sure does not sound like a good translation.
There is a problem with this opening sentence being in Arabic. From
the content one would assume that it is addressed to the plane's
passengers as it starts with "Ladies and Gentlemen." From the context
it is said in the cabin upon first encounter with the captain. You
can't talk from the flight deck to the passengers except over the
intercom system, so it is unclear who the addressees of these
sentences are meant to be. But neither crew nor passengers would have
understood Arabic. If the remarks were made in conversation to fellow
hijackers then they would hardly begin with "Ladies and Gentlemen" nor
would they bother to inform them that they had a bomb on board.
Later in the tape we are treated with some more drama which would suit
a Hollywood movie but not the real world of flying. It seems the
hijackers discovered that there was a fight in the cabin. To control
the situation one of them suggests to cut off the oxygen. What a
folly! Breathing at high altitude in modern aircraft is achieved
through cabin pressurisation not through the supply of oxygen. You can
depressurise the aircraft, of course, but this would be gradual not
sudden. And if you did it would affect both the passengers and the
crew, so the hijackers would then need oxygen to cope with the thin
depressurised air on the flight deck.
But we are made to believe that the hijackers were stupid. They tried
to take control of the plane but didn't really know how to fly it. One
of them is heard to instruct the other with short commands like "pull
it down", "up, down, up, down", "down, push, push, push, push", "hey,
give it to me". In the end, I suppose this explains why the flight
crashed just like it happens on Microsoft flight simulator when you
mess about with a 757. To emphasise the loss of control they suddenly
all repeatedly say "Allahu akbar", but not the Shahadah.
Nice try, I say, but there is no doubt in my mind that, once more, we
are being taken for a ride.
Postscript:
There is an unofficial transcript of Flight 93 available which was
released by AirDisasters.com, not by the government. In that
transcript the remarks about the bomb are made in English by the
hijackers and a little later made again by the captain. A careful
comparison of both texts reveals numerous discrepancies to the wording
and the sequence of what is being said. There is no way both can be
correct, ergo somebody is making things up. If Moussaoui's defence
team don't tear this evidence to shreds, then they are working for the
prosecution.

Air Traffic Control Recording of 9/11 Flight 93
Listen to the sound clip (Windows Media format) of air traffic control
receiving communications from Flight 93 on the morning of 9/11
Click here for the clip
Left-click to play the clip
Right-click to save the clip to your hard drive
>>> As readers of this Website know, the government has refused to
release recordings of communications from any of the hijacked 9/11
planes [read more]. In fact, it also refuses to release transcripts or
any other documents having anything to do with these communications.
However, AirDisaster.com has posted a sound file of air traffic
control during the morning of 9/11. Specifically, Cleveland air
traffic control had two brief contacts with United Airlines Flight 93,
when the hijackers mistakenly broadcast messages meant only for the
plane's passengers.
Since this recording wasn't received by me from the FAA or another
government agency, I can't vouch for its authenticity. However,
AirDisaster.com is a very reputable site, often used by the news media
as a source of information on airplane accidents, crashes, etc. Some
of its forums are moderated by a commercial pilot, a military pilot,
and a maintenance inspector. I've chosen to post the sound file here
because of AirDisaster.com's credibility and because if this tape is
authentic--which I strongly believe it to be--it is extremely important.
This message accompanies AirDisaster.com's WAV file: "Please note that
this tape is not chronologically accurate; periods of dead air
(silence) have been removed for brevity."
It should also be noted that this is not the Flight 93 cockpit tape
that the families of passengers were allowed to hear under strictly
controlled conditions in April 2002 [read more]. According to the
Associated Press, that tape is around 30 minutes long and the final 5
to 7 minutes are "filled with violence and yelling in both Arabic and
English." Obviously, that recording is not the one presented here,
which contains four minutes of communications from an air traffic
controller, several planes in the vicinity, and two brief bursts from
Flight 93.
As far as I know, this is the only available recording of
communications from any of the doomed 9/11 planes.

Executive 956: Affirmative. He said there was a bomb on board.
Cleveland: And that was all you got out of it also?
Executive 956: Affirmative.
Cleveland: Ninety-three, go ahead.
Executive 956: Is that aircraft you're talking about eastbound?
Cleveland: He's just turned to the east of you. United ninety-three,
do you hear Cleveland Center? American ten-sixty and Executive nine

Executive 956: Executive nine fifty-six, we had a visual on it, just
stand by.
Cleveland: You have a visual on it now?
Executive 956: We did, but we lost it in the turn.
Cleveland: You can make a turn back to two-twenty heading. Let me know
if you can see him.
Executive 956: He's still there. We've got him, from nine fifty-six.
Cleveland: He's still there, er, what, about twenty-five miles?
Executive 956: Affirmative from nine fifty-six.
Cleveland: Vector nine fifty-six, turning one-eight-zero.
Executive 956: Er, negative, turning nine fifty-six, he appears to be
heading right towards us.
Cleveland: American ten-sixty, do you see anybody northwest of you,
can you see back that far there?
American 1060: We're looking now, sir.

United ninety-three, do you hear Cleveland Center?
Cleveland (2): [Voice changes to female, apparently second Cleveland
controller.] Do you see any, ah, activity on your right side, smoke or
anything like that?
American 1060: Negative. We're searching [two second pause]. Yeah, we
do have a smoke puff now at about, er, oh probably two o'clock. There
appears to be just a spire up like a puff of black smoke.

(04/21/2006) Iran-Israel Linkage By Bush Seen As Threat
Jewish leaders warn of backlash as president cites Jewish state as rationale
for possible strikes. James D. Besser And Larry Cohler-Esses
President Bush is risking a backlash that could injure the Jewish
community ? and his own cause ? by repeatedly citing Israel as his top
rationale for possible U.S. military conflict with Iran, Jewish leaders and
Middle East analysts warned this week.
Bush's repeated, sometimes exclusive, focus on Israel could spark public
fury against the Jewish state and Jews if U.S. military action is
accompanied by skyrocketing gas prices, terrorism at home or fallen G.I.'s
who might be seen as dying for Israel, some said. Others feared it could
fracture the shaky international coalition Bush is striving to assemble to
oppose Iran's nuclear program by framing the threat as primarily to Israel
rather than international stability.
Ambassador Edward Walker, a former U.S. envoy to Israel who now heads the
Middle East Institute in Washington, termed Bush's Israel focus a terrible
idea.?
Just think about if gas prices go up to $7 a gallon as a result, and
everybody is saying it?s because of Israel, he said.
I don?t believe it is in Israel's best interests to have the American
people going into a major military action, which is what we're talking about
in Iran, with significant implications on the home front in terms of
terrorism and energy prices, and then having people blame Israel, said
Walker.
Malcolm Hoenlein, executive vice president of the Conference of Presidents
of Major American Jewish Organizations, said The linkage to Israel is not a
good idea, because then the Iranians say, you see, it's the Zionists driving
this.
As much as we appreciate it, the question is whether it's beneficial to tie
this to Israel, said Hoenlein, whose organization functions as the Jewish
community's official umbrella group for speaking out on foreign policy
issues.
Hoenlein pointed out that Iran is tied to terrorist groups such as
Hezbollah, which operates in Lebanon and other countries. It also exercises
influence over militias accused of atrocities in Iraq and aims to spread its
influence throughout the Muslim world.
The danger of a nuclear-armed Iran is a much greater one than just Israel,
said Hoenlein.
In recent days, there have been reports of extensive U.S. military planning,
possibly for a bombing campaign against a variety of Iranian targets. The
aim, say the reports, would be to halt or, at least set back, what Iran
insists is a peaceful program to produce nuclear energy. The United States,
Europe and other countries fear this merely masks a covert Iranian drive to
develop nuclear weapons.
Faced with increasing public clamor about a possible military conflict, Bush
has repeatedly taken note of the threat a nuclear Iran would pose to Israel.
Indeed, Iran's president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, has repeatedly called for
Israel's destruction, most recently this week. On some occasions, President
Bush has offered this as his sole rationale for confronting Iran.
In a March 20 speech in Cleveland, for example, Bush replied to a question
about the influence of apocalyptic Christian theology on his policies with a
long, rambling answer in which he raised the threat he saw from Iran and
said, Now that I'm on Iran the threat from Iran is, of course, their
stated objective to destroy our strong ally Israel. It's a threat to world
peace; it's a threat, in essence, to a strong alliance. I made it clear,
I'll make it clear again, that we will use military might to protect our
ally, Israel.
Other administration leaders have brought Israel into center stage on Iran
in a different way suggesting strong U.S. action could be necessary to
keep Israel from acting on its own.
One of the concerns people have is that Israel might [attack Iran] without
being asked, said Vice President Dick Cheney in a February 2005 radio
interview, that if, in fact, the Israelis became convinced the Iranians had
significant nuclear capability, given the fact that Iran has a stated policy
that their objective is the destruction of Israel, the Israelis might well
decide to act first and let the rest of the world worry about cleaning up
the diplomatic mess afterwards.
Asked why Bush has made Israel a focus, Walker said, because he is not very
attuned to the history of the situation and he has some really strange
advisers who do not understand the broader implications of this, in terms of
the vast majority of the American public.? (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Rep. Gary Ackerman (D-L.I./Queens), a frequent administration critic, said
Bush's focus increases the likelihood of a backlash against Jews and Israel
if a U.S.-led war on Iran turns sour.
It's a horrible thing to do, it's dangerous, he said. If something goes
wrong, it's a setup to say we did it for Israel and not for America, and to
blame the Jews.?
Asked if he thought that was President Bush's intent, Ackerman said I don't
believe in accidents and coincidences in this business. They choose their
words very carefully. This is not the first time the president has said
this, but now it looks like it's their whole program.?
Ironically, Middle East analysts say Israel's own public stand has, by and
large, played down the threat that Bush is playing up.
For past few years, the position of the Israeli government has been that
Iran's nuclear program was not an Israeli issue, said Shai Feldman,
director of Brandeis University's Crown Center for Middle East studies.
Under the leadership of Prime Minister Ariel Sharon from 2000, said Feldman,
Israel stressed the problem was an international issue, a challenge to
international stability.
Israel may have felt comfortable stepping back because the European
countries and even Russia and China have cooperated with the United States
on the issue in ways they did not in the lead-up to the War in Iraq, Feldman
conceded. This may have allowed Israel to de-emphasize itself, he said.
In terms of maintaining this kind of international support, to say Israel
is a primary concern is extremely counterproductive,? Feldman said.
Furthermore, he explained, many though not all Israeli analysts do not see a
nuclear Iran as the kind of existential threat that Bush depicts. For all
its president's rhetoric, many Israeli analysts view Iran's record as on
the whole, quite risk averse and see a rational actor that would remain
very aware of Israel's second-strike capability, he said.
It's not that the day after Iran gets the nuclear bomb they drop it on
Tel-Aviv, said Feldman. It is rather, the many general geopolitical
implications of a nuclear Iran that concern Israel, he said.
One is that it would lead other countries [in the region] to follow suit
with their own nuclear arms programs, he said. Two is that an Iran equipped
with nuclear weapons would throw its weight around the region to a much
greater extent than is currently the case.
Shoshana Bryen, special projects director for the Jewish Institute for
National Security Affairs (JINSA), agreed that the administration's strong
focus on Israel could undermine its already shaky efforts to build a broad
international coalition to pressure and possibly fight Iran.
It's a perfectly reasonable response to the fact that Iran has threatened
only two countries the United States and Israel, said Bryen, whose group
promotes strong ties between the U.S. and Israeli military. The problem is
that doing that gives countries that would like an excuse for not acting on
Iran an out.?
Ahmadinejad believes the more Washington focuses on Israel as a factor in
the Iran debate, the more trouble it will have recruiting allies, she said.
David Harris, executive director of the American Jewish Committee, said he
has already seen signs of a backlash against Jewish groups because of his
group's support for a tough stand against Iran's nuclear program.
Harris group recently published an ad in The New York Times and the
Financial Times headlined A Nuclear Iran Threatens Us All, showing a map
with concentric rings delineating the current and projected ranges of
Iranian missiles now deployed and under development.
Our point is and remains that Iran is a global problem, he said. Israel
is one target, but not the only one.?
But letters to the editor blasted the group and said the ad was proof of the
destructive impact of the Jewish lobby, Harris said.
So there is always the possibility of a backlash, said Harris.
Harris said his group welcomes and appreciates the administration?s
expressed support for Israel. ... But we maintain this is a problem that
goes far beyond Israel.
Some Jewish leaders seem conflicted pleased that the president is actively
concerned about Israel?s security but uncertain about his motives.
The fact that the president is saying, time and time again, that Israel is
under our [defense] umbrella should be welcomed and encouraged, said
Abraham Foxman, national director of the Anti-Defamation League. But Foxman
said the president's exact motives in linking Israel so closely to U.S. Iran
aims are unclear.
Is this a security umbrella on behalf of Israel? Is it meant as a message
to Israel Or to Iran At this point nobody really knows its significance.?
Jewish leaders say that while many have pushed for a forceful U.S. stand
against Iran, no one is actively promoting the military option. Even some
hawkish groups caution that attacking Iran could have unintended and
devastating consequences.
JINS''s Bryen, for example, that a military strike with civilian casualties
will probably strengthen the regime.?
There are no simple options, she continued, which may be why the president
keeps raising the specter of Israel. Everybody is hoping for a magic bullet,
whether it be an Israeli or a U.S. magic bullet.? n

----- Original Message -----

A prime example that USA wants everyone to avenge OUR victims and be damned!
A prime example that USA wants everyone to avenge OUR victims and be damned!
VHeadline.com commentarist Mary MacElveen writes: In a Miami Herald Column they claimed that Venezuela and Cuba are not helping in the war on terrorism or rather than Bush's war on "terra..."
Bernardo Alvarez, the Venezuelan Ambassador to the United States, had this to add: "Washington demands collaboration on terrorism but has been silent to Venezuela's requested extradition of Posada Carriles and two Venezuelan officers charged with bombing foreign consular buildings in Caracas."
So, here is a prime example that we want everyone to avenge our victims and the victims of Cubana Airlines be damned.
Posada Carriles and those Venezuelan officers must be sent back to Venezuela if we are to say to the rest of the world that we are serious in fighting terrorism. By the way, fighting a long drawn out war on terrorism is a myth, but more on that later.
The Miami Herald column reported: "Washington said Chavez has turned increasingly authoritarian at home and promotes an aggressive form of populism abroad. The Bush administration has blocked or objected to Venezuelan arms purchases, saying they were overblown given the nation's defense needs."
By them stating of President Chavez that he is an "authoritarian" ruler; isn't that the pot calling the kettle black?
As it stands right now, many see Bush acting as an authoritarian ruler where some have now come to call him (Bush) the "decider" Bush even said of himself that he is the "decider." Well what about the legislative branch?
Oops, I forgot, they are controlled by the Republicans too. So, I guess Bush does get to decide.
Given the United State's track record in meddling in the affairs of other nations and, especially, since Bush invaded an innocent country by lying about the facts: Isn't it incumbent upon any country to protect themselves from this "war president"?
What is President Chavez supposed to do when he sees his country being threatened?
Is he to obey Bush by not purchasing any weaponry?
a.. If he were to obey Bush, then he would not be acting in the best interests of the Venezuelan people. and that also includes his opposition ... he would not be acting Presidential if he were to bow and kiss Bush's ring.
If anything, if he were to give into Bush's whims, that would give Sumate fodder to unseat him in the next presidential election. Now if the Sumate candidate wishes to comply with Bush ... what message does that send the Venezuelan people? It says, Bush's directives are more important than the concerns of this (Venezuelan) nation.
This passage cited in the Miami Herald borders on paranoia: "But the annual congressionally-mandated report also said ''there is some dispute about the existence and extent of Cuba's bio-weapons program,'' as the Bush administration continued to backtrack on earlier claims that Cuba possessed a limited offensive biological warfare research and development effort."
There was an American TV show in the fifties called 'Dragnet' and Joe Friday (the police officer) in that show used to say, "Just the facts, Ma'am." The same applies here. Once again, this Miami Herald news paper is trying to stir up anti Cuban sentiment.
What proof do they have to even report this?
It only stirs up fear and as we have all witnessed fear is the true weapon of mass destruction.
The Miami Herald also reports: "The State Department also lists several recent encounters between Iranian, North Korean and Cuban officials but falls short of linking these contacts to bio-weapons technology transfers." Notice the operative term, "falls short" ... Bush needs us to be afraid of other nations, but it is Bush that we all should be fearing. He has all of these weapons of mass destruction and do we trust him controlling them?
Now here is something that I want all of you to think hard about. Have "the terrorists" targeted Venezuela in any tape or communique?
Well the answer up until now is no...
You may say the reason is that "Venezuela is cooperating with the likes of Osama bin Laden| ... but that is categorically false. The countries that Al Qaeda has targeted in the past are the nations that have aligned themselves with Bush ... countries such as the United Kingdom, Spain and Indonesia.
Being Bush's friend comes with a high price to pay.
Why should Venezuela divert their country's assets into a war that cannot be won?
The war on terrorism will never be won since there will always be terrorists ... there will always be a group of people that despises the way things are done and will use violence ... they will use terror as their very weapon ... the war on terrorism is cyclical. The only way I see changing it is how nations conduct themselves and actually start working for the betterment of all mankind. Then it becomes arduous for these terrorists to gain supporters.
Osama bin Laden would look quite silly if he were trying to gain support for his cause if we were working to make people's lives better.
That is the way to marginalize any terrorist.
Just imagine how silly and ludicrous any message coming from Osama said: "Americans are interfering in Dafur by feeding the poor..." We would then be able to rip any power he thinks he has right from under his feet.
As I wrote in a previous column we are now spending $200 million per day funding this war in Iraq. I also stated that the eventual price tag for funding this war will surpass $800 billion. Just imagine what those funds could be used for to better mankind?
Like him or hate him, President Hugo Chavez is doing for the Venezuelan people what I wish would be done here in the United States by Bush.
As reported by Prensa Latina: "Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez announced a new increase of the minimum wage Friday, which will take effect September 1, to bring it to $238 a month." While that may not seem like a large sum of money to my American readers; to those that live in Venezuela (which has a large poverty rate) it is. This is something to be praised considering the fact that our (United States) minimum wage has not risen since 1996.
Also reported by Prensa Latina: "Motivated by the upcoming May Day celebration, Chavez informed of several government measures, such as elimination of discrimination between rural and urban workers, or with enterprises with fewer than 20 workers, increasing maternity leave and vacation pay."
Who can argue with this?
Well maybe the greed-oriented people running the government of the United States can, or the defense contractors who think bombs are more important. As it stands, Americans are working longer hours and multiple jobs just to try and make ends meet. The last thing that many of them can even think about is taking a vacation. Some have grown so weary that they are in need of a vacation and are quick to anger seeing Bush take so many himself.
a.. Even this long and drawn out war against terrorism has many screaming "I need a vacation." I will bet you anything that our soldiers now stationed in Iraq would love nothing more than to say "I am going to Disneyworld." Sadly, they can not.
In this (USA) country we often praise teachers, but when it comes to them wanting pay raises, we often scoff at the idea. Just look at your local school budgets. Those who want you to vote no to the passing of any school budget, will equate teachers with greed.
President Chavez has a different idea and to prove it "teachers will get a 30% raise starting May 1 and another 10% on October 1." Clearly this show that "no child is left behind" and it proves that teachers will be rewarded for educating tomorrow's leaders.
Now compare President Chavez' raise for teachers to an alert that I just received from the Texas AFL-CIO which states: "So far in this special session on school finance, there's a huge missing ingredient--funding for schools!" They go onto say: "I urge you to take a stand and demand that a teacher pay raise, new funding for schools and restoration of the promised healthcare stipend for all school employees must be part of any overall package passed in this special session." While I do not live in Texas, I will sign it since I think that teachers across America must be rewarded just like the teachers in Venezuela. No teacher left behind in America, translates into no child being left behind.
You may be asking yourselves why tie the war on terrorism to these social programs in Venezuela. It shows that instead of funding a war that cannot be won, President Hugo Chavez is doing for his people what should be done here in the United States. What argument, if any, could a terrorist have if a country's leader is actually getting things done for his people instead of meddling in the affairs of other nations at the behest of a liar?
I want to ask: Do we continue to throw good money after bad in funding this war on terrorism or do we start using these funds to promote the social well being of our country?
That is for us to "decide" since this is supposed to be a government of, for and by the people.

I continue to receive ever increasing numbers of email from readers who request a clarification of my views about our current economic condition, how it got this way, and what, if anything, we can do about it.
I often feel faced with a dilemma akin to telling someone it's raining, and have them not only refuse to believe me, but to also refuse to walk outside.
My views are simply an amalgamation of insights provided by the wisdom of the Constitutional pundits, economic sages, financial gurus, and free market thinkers that I have come to read every day. The Libertarian / Contrarian editorial slant I provide is as much a result of their thoughts and experiences as my own personal feelings. I depend on their insights to temper my own.
We have, in general, become oblivious to the realities of human nature and corruption. We have been placated to the point of disinterest. After all, why should we be concerned with the direction that we are being led? It seems to have worked up until now. This, I think, is the gist of the problem. It's an illusion. Smoke and mirrors. We are all being set up for a fall. The tragedy of it is that it will be our children and their children who will be hit the hardest. Whose responsibility is it to insure some kind of decent future, Alan Greenspan's? Pu-leeze!
I will remain ever vigilant in my quest to achieve some sense of clarity, and to communicate whatever clarity I can through the Silver Bear Cafe and other gracious forums that are kind enough to post my essays. Whatever clarity I have here-to-fore attained is, to say the least, disconcerting. So, in order that I may vent my concerns and spread some of my frustration around, I will attempt to dissect one major travesty.
Practically all of the problems in our country can be attributed to the continuing subjugation of the U.S. Constitution. Had the remedies for such actions, which are provided in the text of the Constitution, been applied, many of our former, (as well as current), leaders would have been prosecuted and removed from public office. One of the main reasons that the American people have allowed the wholesale dismantling of their freedoms and liberties stems from the effectiveness of the all pervasive misinformation campaign that has been waged for over 100 years. Most of us believe that we live in the land of the free. A place where every child has the opportunity to grow up and be President of the United States. This belief is, in the best-case scenario, a stretch. In the worst case, a bald faced lie. Our political leaders are increasingly sourced from a pool of self- perpetuating elitists whose main concern is to distance themselves from the masses. When Constitutional law
stands in their way, they ignore it. We are not being shepherded by altruistic wise men, but, rather, herded by megalomaniacal desperadoes.
If you asked Joe Six Pack if our society continues to be based on freedom and liberty, he would probably recollect his 9th grade American History teacher and respond "Yes, of course." If you were to ask him if our society was now based on a Stalinesque model of central planning, a totalitarian system in which the Government claimed all power, and there were no freedoms that the government did not allow, he would probably say, "No way." Joe hasn't got a clue. Hey, believe me. I've been trying to get across to Mr. Six Pack for years. He has been issued blinders by the state. He hasn't got a clue.
It appears to me that the markets are rigged. All games that can be rigged will be rigged, sooner or later. The Fed, working in league with the U.S. Government, rigs the U.S. markets. But don't think for a second that the Fed has some kind of monopoly on a situation where rapacity pervades honest reason. All markets are rigged. Central bankers, the world over, are primarily involved in fleecing the people. The fact that the Fed is the most powerful of the Central Bankers, and that they are primarily responsible for perfecting the insidious contrivance called inflation, has not kept the rest of Central Bankers of the world from entering into a game of "catch up". As far as they are concerned, there is only one motive, and that motive is economic world domination. Which Central Bankers will dominate will depend on which ones end up with the most. That's just the nature of absolute corruption. That is the reason that whole world is currently strapped with a fiat system. The
ability to create money, out of thin air, provides for absolute economic power. Absolute power equals absolute corruption. It's as simple as that. By rigging the markets, through various forms of intervention, the central bankers have set up a scheme whereby the wealth of the world could be siphoned off at will.
The reason that this fiat system has become so all pervasive in the world is the lure of an uncapped, unending source of credit that is availed to all governments who are willing to play the Central Banker's game.
One instance is the game that we are playing with Iraq. Why are we not buying our oil from Canada for $45 per barrel, but instead, stealing it from the Iraqis at a cost of around $1,100 a barrel? Information gained from the Energy Information Administration,
(http://eia.doe.gov/) provides this data. When the number of barrels of Iraqi oil that we have imported is divided into the $300 billion we have spent on the war so far, the number comes to about $1,100 per barrel. From an accountant's standpoint, this doesn't seem like a very good deal.
According to British Petroleum's Statistical Review of World Energy
2002
Middle Eastern oil accounts for one quarter of America's imports. Iraqi crude for less than one tenth. A back of the envelope calculation reveals that Iraq quenches less than 6 percent of America's Black Gold cravings. Compared to Canada (15 percent of American oil imports), or Mexico (12 percent) - Iraq is a negligible supplier. Furthermore, the current oil production of the USA is merely 23 percent of its 1985 peak - about 2.4 million barrels per day, a 50-years nadir.
During the first eleven months of 2002, the United States imported an average of 449,000 barrels per day (bbl/d) from Iraq. In January
2003, with Venezuela in disarray, approximately 1.2 million bbl/d of Iraqi oil went to the Americas (up from 910,000 bbl/d in December
2002 and 515,000 bbl/d in November).
It would seem that $200 billion - the costs of war and post bellum reconstruction - would be better spent on America's domestic oil industry. Securing the flow of Iraqi crude is simply too insignificant to warrant such an exertion.
Admittedly, there are those that would suggest far loftier goals in Iraq than simple petroleum exploitation. Personally, I have yet to be shown.
Who's getting the $1100 per barrel? Certainly not the Iraqis. The money is going to Haliburton, Ratheon, Boeing, Northrop Grumman, and Lockheed Martin, (among many others). Where is the $1100 a barrel coming from? Why it's coming from continuing loans to the Government by the Federal Reserve. Where does the Federal Reserve get all this money? Why, they invent it, (the term counterfeiting comes to mind.) Who's responsible for paying back the billions and billions of funny money that the Government is spending, and the interest accrued on that funny money? Good question. If your answer is "the American People", you are not entirely correct.
There are two groups in the U.S. that don't pay taxes. Those two groups consist of the very poor, and the ultra rich. As a result, the middle class has been bestowed with the sole economic responsibility of repaying the obscene abomination known as the national debt. It's not enough for the middle class to support those who are unable to work as well as those who choose not to, but to also provide the a major source of wealth that is being siphoned off by the Central Bankers and distributed to the elitists. I believe their motives have always stemmed from a desire to redistribute the wealth of the middle class to the ultra rich. This is a basic ploy right out of the collectivist's handbook. In this way they are, in the words of Omar Khayyam, attempting to "tear it down, and rebuild it in their own image." They are preparing for the intended eminent worldwide financial Armageddon.
In order to continue to supply the Government with more and more funny money, the Fed has to keep creating it. Obviously, the more they create, the more it is diluted and the less valuable it becomes. They have positioned the U.S. dollar on a huge playground slide, placed a piece of waxed paper under it, and let it go. Its accelerating decent has become big news. Even the sycophantic rah-rah rooters on CNBC are talking about it. The dollar is visiting lows not seen in almost twenty-five years.
" Bubbles" Greenspan would have us believe that this is an engineered devaluation designed to reduce our trade deficit. Hooey. The Fed has lost control of the dollar. Their mindless creation of credit has insured a mind-boggling meltdown of the entire financial system. This is not a good thing for anyone, anywhere. The dollar is the world's reserve currency. Seventy-five percent of all dollars in existence are in foreign hands. Whatever their value was when those foreigners got them, that value is evaporating right before their eyes. It's like buying ice by the pound and watching it melt away before you have time to use it. "Joe Six Pack" doesn't seem to mind. He can still buy a beer for $2.50 at the pub. Five years ago they were $1.25. By the end of next year they will be $5.00.
But it's not just the irresponsible creation of debt that has brought us to the economic gates of hell, but also the Fed's botched attempt to control the markets through manipulation and intervention. Their attempts to "play God", in an otherwise free market, have exacerbated, skewed, and distorted market realities to such an extent that its function has become one of dysfunction.
The turn of the century brought with it a paradigm shift in economic policy in America. With the flight of the domestic manufacturing sector, America's balance of trade rapidly became extremely unbalanced. In an attempt to keep the economy afloat, the Fed targeted the American Consumer as a replacement for the American Producer as the chief contributor to the U.S. economy. To insure the American Consumer would be, at least temporarily, capable of such a task, "Bubbles" lowered short-term interest rates to their lowest level since 1958. This action, combined with the introduction of a plethora of reckless mortgage products, (ARMS, interest only loans, etc.), provided for an unprecedented number of new home purchases. Over thirty percent of those purchases were made by lower income individuals who had previously been unable to qualify for mortgage loans. The result was a boom in residential construction, and all related industry. The domestic housing market had effectively
filled the void that resulted from the flight of the manufacturing sector and, in doing so, became a primary contributor to the American economy. That, coupled with a wave of refinancing, spurred on by the lure of cheap credit, allowed homeowners to bury themselves in debt. The application of this new found cash provided borrowers the means to buy new SUVs and invest in stocks, which effectively held up the automotive industry, as well as helping to keep the markets inflated.
Fast forward to the present. Real unemployment is running around 12%. Wages have been stagnant for the past four years. Almost everyone who wanted to refinance has already done so. Their refi money has already been spent. The automotive industry, and the housing industry are both beginning to feel the pinch. Rising energy costs, which are a result of a growing scarcity, as well as inflation, are exacerbating the situation. The DOW, which has remained basically flat over the last three years when valued in U.S. dollars, is substantially down when valued against the Euro, the Rand, the Yen and several other major currencies. The continuing devaluation of the dollar has provided the DOW with the appearance of strength, at least to the American public. More smoke and mirrors. In order to continue to lure foreign investment, the illusion that the economy is healthy and robust is of paramount importance. This presents a big problem considering our economy is in the throes of a
terminal illness. The Fed is desperate to come up with a new source of support.
Enter, Social Security Reform. Now politicians are suggesting that federal withholding revenues be redirected into the stock market. Wow! What an idea. That should keep the markets inflated for a little while longer. It could certainly give the Fed a new a new source of wealth to siphon off. But wait. One of the biggest myths about Social Security is that there is any money in the Social Security trust fund. The fund has been systematically tapped and squandered by every administration since its inception. It was an unconstitutional sleight of hand to begin with. It is, and has always been a Ponzi scheme, which depends on new workers to pay the old workers. Maybe that is why the present administration is doing everything in its power to tear down the borders and accommodate as many illegal aliens as possible. Maybe that's why they're attempting to raise the age of retirement. The privatization of Social Security is simply one more scheme to siphon off the wealth of the
middle class through commissions and fees, and keep the stock and bond markets inflated for a little while longer. Do you see a pattern emerging here?
What's next? What new source of wealth will be found to target? What if there isn't another source. How about those foreigners? How can the Fed keep them buying treasury paper, which allows the Government to keep on borrowing? When approached from this perspective, we realize that keeping the bond market inflated is the primary aim of the Central Bankers, (the Fed). To what lengths will they go to keep the bond market inflated? What new legislation will they dream up for their puppet politicians to pass? If it never occurred to you that the Federal Reserve, (a private corporation), owns the U.S. Government, please read the following statement made by Fed Governor Ben Bernanke.
" By increasing the number of U.S. dollars in circulation, or even by credibly threatening to do so, the U.S. government can also reduce the value of a dollar in terms of goods and services, which is equivalent to raising the prices in dollars of those goods and services. We conclude that, under a paper-money system, a determined government can always generate higher spending and hence positive inflation."
What in blazes is positive inflation? And why would anyone, representing the people, want the price of goods and services to rise? Who, but a banker could benefit from inflation. Inflation equals rising prices. Rising prices equal more loans. More loans equal more interest. The natural evolution of man would have provided for a continuing improvement in the standard of life for all persons, if it wasn't for the heinous contrivance called inflation. Technology has provided new and improved ways to produce and deliver almost everything. Without inflation almost everything would be cheaper, or at least remain the same price. Let me restate that last part. If it wasn't for the Federal Reserve, everything would become cheaper, instead of more expensive. Most people believe that inflation is a natural economic occurrence. This is simply untrue.
Constitutional mandates insist that American currency be backed by precious metals. Adhering to those mandates would insure inflation and deflation would only occur if the quantity of precious metals was significantly altered, thereby skewing the supply/demand equation. Because of the energies necessary to locate, mine, refine, smelt and coin precious metals, the value will always be relatively maintained. Because of the fact that practically no energy is necessary to produce "funny money", there is no value to begin with. Producing more of it makes it worth less than nothing, as it becomes a liability and the biggest threat in the world to liberty, freedom, peace and justice. Any devaluation of American currency is a direct result of the money that the Federal Reserve is stealing out of your pocket.
Consequently, there are other ways, besides inflation, that the Fed can cloak reality and present the appearance of a robust economy. One of these ways involves direct intervention in all three major indexes. The Fed has created a fund called the repo pool, which can exceed $30 billion. When the Federal Reserve temporarily supplies these funds to the market by buying securities from dealers with a commitment to resell, the transaction is called a repo, (repurchase agreement). The Fed uses this cash to purchase securities from primary government bond dealers. This action circumvents natural free market pressures and pumps unnatural liquidity to the banking system. Member firms, at the direction of the Fed, use this liquidity to make major purchases in the futures markets or to purchase select market weighted stocks. Through the continual manipulation of a basket of major stock issues, they can effectively hold the markets up with their "funny money". All activity of this
nature is covertly inflationary, and obviously unconstitutional. Because the shareholders of the Fed, complicit banks, and dealers also profit from these deals, anti-trust statutes are broken on an hourly basis. Wall Street has devolved to nothing more than a den of thieves.
Yet another way that the Fed utilizes "smoke and mirrors" to maintain the appearance of a healthy economy, rather than allowing the specter of "black death", which hangs heavily over the real situation, to become apparent, is through the use of clandestine offshore accounts. Through these accounts, agents of the Fed buy up the treasury bonds that are not bought by hedge funds, elitist transnational corporations, or foreign central banks. During a routine sale of U.S. Treasury bonds in early September 2004, an unprecedented event took place. Foreigners, who, up to that point, had been regularly buying nearly half of all debt issued by the U.S. government, didn't buy any. This could be the Fed's biggest nightmare.
The afore mentioned usual suspects, (the hedge funds, elitist transnational corporations, or foreign central banks), could be buying US Treasury notes and bills via the Bahamas, Bermuda, the Cayman Islands, the Netherlands Antilles and Panama, but I find that highly unlikely. These bankers and fund managers aren't stupid. Why buy into an asset whose value is destined to decline. Robert McTeer, head of the Dallas Federal Reserve Bank, stated in October of 2004;
" Over time there is only one direction for the dollar to go lower."
Our Government finances itself through the collection of taxes,
(which basically go to pay the interest on the national debt), and the sale of treasury instruments, (i.e., bonds, bills, notes), which are effectively IOUs from "We the People". In its first term the Bush administration increased the Federal debt by $2.2 trillion. Congress raised the Treasury debt ceiling three times, by $450 billion in
2002, by $984 billion in 2003, and by another $800 billion on November 19, 2004, to $8 trillion 184 billion. The ready willingness, of the members of the House and Senate, to finance such deficits is a clear indication of the political and ideological makeup of most members of Congress.
More disturbing is the fact that the voting public continues to re- elect these people in the glaring face of fiscal insanity. The wars are obviously a ruse to convert the national debt into vast wealth for the elitists, (see $1,100 dollar a barrel Iraqi oil above). Please understand that there is no way that fiscal responsibility, a by-product of a gold backed currency, could ever provide for the reckless levels of debt that the American people, and their descendents, are currently being shackled to.
All the people in the world that hold Federal Reserve Notes are being fleeced. That's usually an occurrence reserved for sheep. How apropos. But, so long as crazy foreigners continue to loan us more of their "funny money" to fight these wars, the game can go on. When foreigners finally wise up to the insane nature of our economic policies and cease buying our IOUs, where will the money come from?
According to the research of Robert Chapman,
Caribbean Treasury investments soared 54% to $85.2 billion during the first ten months of 2004, seven times the 8.3% increase of all of 2003. The region is now the fourth-largest holder of US government debt, behind Japan, China and the UK. This is not coincidence. It is very significant and it has to be the Fed keeping the dollar afloat.
The previous paragraph might suggest that the Fed has stepped in and is secretly buying government debt. The reason that they are doing it secretly is because when the Fed directly buys government debt, and then uses that debt to create more money, it is immediately inflationary. No trickle down here. It is nothing less than hyperinflationary. Obviously, if the people ever began to realize that, through this action, they were getting royally screwed, they might quit electing these bozos and start to clean up the mess. Hyperinflation will make Government bonds far less attractive. Remember, the bond market is the cash cow that the central bankers depend on to continue to milk the economy. Therefore, the Fed will do everything in its power to insure that the bond market will be the last to deflate.
In order to keep the bond market inflated, the Fed will have to substantially raise rates. They will not do this, however, IMO, until the people finally wake up and start to make some noise. The sheeple are not known for public outcries, so the throes of hyperinflation will already be choking the economy long before the Fed makes any meaningful increase, (read in: double digits). The dollar is in free fall. When it breaks below the USDX .80 there is nothing in the world that can stop it, except for a massive interest rate increase. When they finally do make a meaningful rate increase, the markets will begin overtly crashing, (as I mentioned above, they have been covertly crashing for years), and the panicked investors will stampede to the bond market for security, like lemmings heading for the cliff. The bond market will find new life, and gold and silver will enter "phase three" and explode in price.
Right before the stock market melts down, the real estate bubble will go kabloowie, Fannie and Freddy will go up in a puff of smoke, and the domestic banking system will come to a screeching halt. The Fed will mindlessly continue to keep the presses running for as long as they can, (after all, that's all they know how to do). The erosion of the buying power of dollars will accelerate exponentially. From an American economic standpoint, we will have arrived at "end game".
Everyone, (except Joe), is beginning to get very nervous. Since we are absolutely dependent on the kindness of foreigners in terms of sustaining our current standard of life, their nervousness is, to say the least, very disconcerting. If they don't continue to hold our dollars, our economy is toast. Unfortunately, people all over the world are beginning to dump their dollars, and for good reason. What would you do, given the same set of circumstances? There are reports that in some places, U.S. dollars are no longer accepted. Where will these dollars end up? Why, right here, where they started. And when they get here, and there's a glut of them, what will happen? The good new is that there will be so many of them that they will be a lot easier to get. The bad news is that no one will want them because they won't be worth anything. Let me put a time frame on these events and attempt to put them in perspective. I believe it will become apparent to anyone paying attention
within the next six months and finally come to a head within 3-5 years.
Get ready for a $10.00 cup of coffee, a $200.00 dinner, water bills that look like your electric bill, and electric bills that look like your mortgage payment. The value of coffee is not going up. The value of food is not going up. The value of water and electricity is not going up. The value of the dollar is going down. A ten-cent candy bar can still be had for a dime, providing that it's a silver dime. If you are using Federal Reserve Notes, a ten-cent candy bar now costs $1.00, and it will soon cost $2.00.
I believe that the powers that be have employed their ability to invent money by using its corrupting influence to cataclysmically screw things up. They have, with the help of their bought and paid for acompli, screwed it up so bad that it won't be easily fixed. I have always believed their plan was to casually strip up of all our liberties before they pissed us off. They have been doing a pretty good job of stripping us of or freedoms and liberties for years, and no one seems to have minded very much. After all, they successfully debased our currency and pocketed the difference, entwined us in a mire of disputes all over the globe and managed to get the whole world pissed off at us, strapped us with untenable debt that will eventually enslave our offspring, dismantled the Bill of Rights through Patriot Acts One, Two, and soon to be Three, are currently scheming to rob us of our retirement by hijacking social security, and still we re-elect them. Apparently, they haven't
pissed us off enough for anyone to do anything about it.
Given the pandemic apathy, that addles the collective mindset of our nation, there is not much hope for a political solution. By the time the sheeple wake up and attempt to politically change things, it will be far to late. We are witnessing the descent of the Phoenix, and the plane is going down in flames. I also believe that the Phoenix will rise from the flames and soar to new heights. Unfortunately I do not believe it will be anytime soon, and when it does, it will be under far different circumstances.
What can you do? Open your eyes. Identify, for yourself, the signs of the tyrannies of collectivism. The easiest way to identify a collectivist is to observe how he proposes to help those in need. If he advocates true charity (the giving of one's own money) and freedom- of-choice to give or not to give, he is an individualist. If he advocates pseudo charity (the giving of other people's money) and the use of taxation to coerce everyone to participate whether they choose to or not, he is a collectivist. The use of coercion for redistribution of wealth is the foundation of socialism, communism, Nazism, fascism, and all other variants of collectivism.
Protect yourself. Get ready now. Sell everything you don't need. Accumulate gold and silver, (most especially silver). Invest in gold and silver mining issues. The day is soon coming when the people demand that precious metals regain their place in a Constitutionally sound economic system. Prepare to defend your Constitution, yourself and those you love. Follow the course opposite to custom and you will almost always do well...
Eliminate as much debt as possible, especially "variable rate" debt, such as credit cards and lines of credit. Interest rates will be rising, so the elimination of debt offers a "real return" of escaping rising rates by creditors.
If you are depending on Social Security, stop.
It's not what you don't know that will screw you up; it's what you know that is wrong. The spin you hear from the mainstream media is intended to mislead you. Open your eyes and face the future. If you leave your head in the sand and ignore it, you are only leaving your butt exposed for the world to kick. This all may sound like gloom and doom, but when you get a handle on what is going to happen, you will have a future filled with opportunity. Fortune favors the Informed

http://www.prweb.com/releases/2006/5/prweb378225.htm
Washington DC, May 1, 2006. (PRWEB) Organizers
said over 300,000 attended Saturday's anti-war
march in NYC. The idea for the April 29 protest
came from NY911Truth.org, who also leafletted
last week's premiere of the war party-line docudrama United 93.
"Anti-war protests are ideal for spreading 9/11
Truth." said Progressive Press publisher John
Leonard. "9/11 is trump. With the myth, no chance
for peace. Imagine reaching 300,000 people at
once with our message." He has a new activist
button at
http://www.waronfreedom.org/button.html, with 911
writ as "?!!" and the motto, "Question the Official 9/11 Conspiracy Theory."
Progressive Press publishes the radical 9/11
best-seller, W. G. Tarpley's "9/11 Synthetic
Terror: Made in USA." Leonard says the Moussaoui
trial validated Tarpley's work enormously:
"Nobody could cut through the layers of
greasepaint on this victim without the analytical
power tools of Tarpley's patsy and mole
framework." Lee Harvey Oswald's desperate cry,
"I'm just a patsy," once shattered the corporate
media taboo on this spy-world term. Leonard adds
psychological depth to it in "Moussaoui: Mad
Patsy Playing for the Prosecution," at
http://www.waronfreedom.org/press/moussaoui-poor-patsy.html.
Leonard thinks the "war party" took a huge risk
in blowing up the WTC, but not an irrational one.
"To trump them, we need aces. Even if you show
they let 9/11 happen, if you admit there really
were Arab hijackers, they can take that, and you
lose. The average Joe figures, we were attacked,
we had to attack back. You have to show him 9/11
was an inside job from A to Z. Do that, and we
win really big. Not just on Iraq and Iran, but
over the whole political landscape." The stakes
seem high enough that Leonard wonders if this is
why the corporate-owned chain bookstores refuse
to carry "9/11 Synthetic Terror," in spite of
strong Amazon sales. It's the first book to go
beyond the deduction that insiders had to
demolish the towers, and describe the elites behind it.
Tarpley is inviting other 9/11 authors on his
World Crisis Radio talk shows, which are archived
at http://mp3.rbnlive.com/Tarpley06.html. Some
rough transcripts are at http://www.waronfreedom.org/tarpley/rbn/.
On April 22 Tarpley hosted the great pioneer
Thierry Meyssan, president of the Voltaire
Network. Meyssan told how his 9/11 books came
about. He had assembled a team of specialists in
ballistics, architecture and so on to look into
differing reports on the Pentagon explosion and
fire. Suddenly they were saying to each other:
"But where is the plane?" Meyssan's "The Big Lie"
set all-time sales records in France, but never
got the reception it deserves in the US.
Yesterday Webster Tarpley hosted Maurizio
Blondet, the Italian author of "September 11:
Coup d'Etat in the USA." Tarpley was a Fulbright
scholar in Turin, and his first book was in
Italian; it showed the Red Brigades were covert
NATO psy-war terror assets. With Wisnewski and
von Buelow, we have heard an international panel
of leading authors from the school of 9/11 as
inside job (dubbed "MIHOP" or "Make It Happen On
Purpose" by researcher Nico Haupt).
Blondet noted the anthrax case was a key part of
the 9/11 coup d'etat in the USA, which terrorized
Congress and people outside large cities. He told
how insider palace revolutions in the US operate
by capturing the president -- as laid out in
"Coup d'État : A Practical Handbook" by neo-con
defense intellectual Edward Luttwak! Blondet also
sees dual-citizenship neo-cons like Wolfowitz
hijacking America to hammer Israel's enemies.
** More Progressive Press and 9/11 Truth News **
* Mexifobia *
What do 9/11 and the current rash of
anti-immigrant demagogy have in common? That's
easy: the fabrication of enemy images to evil ends. But why the hex on Mex?
In "Welcome to Mexiphobia, Amigo: or, Why Did the
Melting Pot Call the Immigrant Kettle Black?"
Leonard speculates the terror button is getting
tired and "the junta" need a fresh issue for
their "strategy of tension" -- among a range of
sinister possibilities. http://www.waronfreedom.org/press/mexifobia.html.
* 3 de Mayo *
It's not Cinco de Mayo, but a lot is happening on May 3rd:
- At Clark University in Worcester MA at 1 p.m.,
a screening of the popular "Loose Change,"
followed by a special treat: theatre pieces by
the students of the 911 Project, directed by Ray
Munro, and a discussion moderated by Prof. A. A.
Anderson. He is the latest distinguished academic
to come out in active support of the 9/11 Truth
project. See http://www.waronfreedom.org/press/worcester.html.
- In Los Angeles CA, a dinner lecture with Prof.
David Ray Griffin, author of "The New Pearl
Harbor." Details at http://www.911truthla.us.
- In Munich, Germany, insurance giant Allianz
refused to put shareholder John Leonard's
counter-motion on the agenda of the May 3rd
general meeting. Leonard wants to censure
directors for their readiness to pay out billions
to WTC demolition suspect Larry Silverstein.
Details will be posted at http://www.waronfreedom.org/press/.
- In Chicago, a major "anti-terror drill" will be
staged by "Homeland Security" from May 2nd to
4th. Activists warn such drills can go live. In
"9/11 Synthetic Terror," Tarpley tells how drills
camouflage and conduit terror ops, as with the
London 7/7 bombings, see http://www.waronfreedom.org/777.html.
And on June 2nd to 4th, 911Truth.org is
scheduling the largest 9/11 Truth convocation yet this year in Chicago.

I don't know how everybody else feels about it, but to me I think Hispanic people in this country, legally or illegally, made a huge public relations mistake with their recent demonstrations.
I don't blame anybody in the world for wanting to come to the United States of America, as it is a truly wonderful place. But when the first thing you do when you set foot on American soil is illegal it is flat out wrong and I don't care how many lala land left heads come out of the woodwork and start trying to give me sensitivity lessons.
I don't need sensitivity lessons, in fact I don't have anything against Mexicans! I just have something against criminals and anybody who comes into this country illegally is a criminal and if you don't believe it try coming into America from a foreign country without a passport and see how far you get. What disturbs me about the demonstrations is that it's tantamount to saying, "I am going to come into your country even if it means breaking your laws and there's nothing you can do about it."
It's an "in your face" action and speaking just for me I don't like it one little bit and if there were a half dozen pairs of gonads in Washington bigger than English peas it wouldn't be happening.
Where are you, you bunch of lilly-livered, pantywaist, forked tongued, sorry excuses for defenders of The Constitution? Have you been drinking the water out of the Potomac again?
And even if you pass a bill on immigration it will probably be so pork laden and watered down that it won't mean anything anyway. Besides, what good is an other law going to do when you won't enforce the ones on the books now?
And what ever happened to the polls guys? I thought you folks were the quintessential finger wetters. Well you sure ain't paying any attention to the polls this time because somewhere around eighty percent of Americans want something done about this mess, and mess it is and getting bigger everyday.
This is no longer a problem, it is a dilemma and headed for being a tragedy. Do you honestly think that what happened in France with the Muslims can't happen here when the businesses who hire these people finally run out of jobs and a few million disillusioned Hispanics take to the streets?
If you, Mr. President, Congressmen and Senators, knuckle under on this and refuse to do something meaningful it means that you care nothing for the kind of country your children and grandchildren will inherit.
But I guess that doesn't matter as long as you get re-elected. Shame on you. One of the big problems in America today is that if you have the nerve to say anything derogatory about any group of people (except Christians) you are going to be screamed at by the media and called a racist, a bigot and anything else they can think of to call you.
Well I've been pounded by the media before and I'm still rockin' and rollin' and when it comes to speaking the truth I fear not. And the truth is that the gutless, gonadless, milksop politicians are just about to sell out the United States of America because they don't have the intestinal fortitude to stand up to the face reality.
And reality is that we would never allow any other group of people to have 12 million illegals in this country and turn around and say, "Oh it's ok, ya'll can stay here if you'll just allow us to slap your wrist."
And I know that some of you who read this column are saying "Well what's wrong with that?"
I'll tell you what's wrong with it. These people could be from Mars as far as we know. We don't know who they are, where they are or what they're up to and the way the Congress is going we're not going to.
Does this make sense? Labor force you say? We already subsidize corporate agriculture as it is, must we subsidize their labor as well?
If these people were from Haiti would we be so fast to turn a blind eye to them or if they were from Somalia or Afghanistan? I think not.
All the media shows us are pictures of hard working Hispanics who have crossed the border just to try to better their life. They don't show you pictures of the Feds rounding up members of MS 13, the violent gang who came across the same way the decent folks did. They don't tell you about the living conditions of the Mexican illegals some fat cat hired to pick his crop.
I want to make two predictions.
No. 1: This situation is going to grow and fester until it erupts in violence on our streets while the wimps in Washington drag their toes in the dirt and try to figure how many tons of political hay they can make to the acre.
No 2: Somebody is going to cross that border with some kind of weapon of mass destruction and set it off in a major American city after which there will be a backlash such as this country has never experienced and the Capitol building in Washington will probably tilt as Congressmen and Senators rush to the other side of the issue.
I don't know about you but I would love to see just one major politician stand up and say, "I don't care who I make mad and I don't care how many votes I lose, this is a desperate situation and I'm going to lead the fight to get it straightened out"
I don't blame anybody for wanting to come to America, but if you don't respect our immigration laws why should you respect any others. And by the way, this is America and our flag has stars and stripes. Please get that other one out of my face.
Pray for our troops
God Bless America

Bill Frist, The Former 2008 Presidential Candidate
By Jason Leopold
It's one thing to lie in politics. It's another to be caught in a lie. Bill
Frist has been caught in a lie. His political future is over. The immediate
question is, can he survive as Majority Leader?
The Tennessee Republican claims he wasn't privy to any inside information
leading up to the sale of his stock in Hospital Corporation of America
(HCA), the country's largest for-profit hospital chain founded by Frist's
father, Thomas, and brother, Thomas Jr., weeks before the company reported
lower than expected earnings July 13 that sent the stock south.
Now the Securities and Exchange Commission is investigating the matter, a
spokesman for the senator said last week, to determine if Frist broke any
laws.
Frist's press secretary told the Washington Post last week that Frist
decided to sell his stock to eliminate any appearance of a
conflict-of-interest due to his work in the senate in shaping the nation's
healthcare policies. So, the senator's spokesman said, Frist drafted a
letter to Northern Trust and Equitable Trust in Nashville June 13 advising
them to sell all of his stock in HCA, as well as his wife and children's
investments in the company.
Still, the improprieties have been in the making for quite some time.
According to an Associated Press report Saturday, Frist "received regular
updates of transfers of assets to his blind trusts and sales of assets. He
also was able to initiate a stock sale of a hospital chain founded by his
family with perfect timing. Shortly after the sale this summer, the stock
price dived."
In fact, Frist had attempted to have it both ways since he created his
so-called blind trust in the 1990s: being intimately involved with his
investments that directly conflict with his political work as a senator and
then claiming that he's totally unaware of his personal financial
investments-and stock sales-because it's in a blind trust.
The mainstream media, quick to accept Frist's statements that he's been in
the dark about his HCA holdings, was complicit in allowing the obvious
conflict of having a senator who makes national decisions on healthcare that
directly benefit the senator's fortunes and that of his family, fall off the
radar screen.
Indeed, in Jan. 26, 2003, story titled "Frist's Health Care Votes Reflect
Roots," Frist told the Post that he "no longer knows how much the (HCA)
stock is worth."
But letters sent to Frist by Kirk Scobey Jr., his trustee, and documents
filed with the senate contradict the Frist's statement.
Frist knew that Scobey transferred three additional blocks of HCA
stock-worth $750,000-to his trust in 2001 and 2002, which came from Frist's
parents' estate. More than $750,000 in HCA stock was transferred into the
blind trust during that time period from the estate of his late parents.
Public filings show that Scobey sold as much as $8 million of Frist's HCA
stock between 1994 and 2000, a bulk of which was sold between 2001 and 2002.
"Interestingly, Frist knew of these sales, or at least had access to
information that these sales took place," reported the Nashville Scene, in
an investigative story in July 2003 into Frist's so-called blind trust."
How? The income from these sales of HCA stock was reported on Frist's annual
financial disclosure statements that he filed with the Secretary of the
Senate."
"Given the annual reporting of capital gains, it's kind of a crock for Frist
to say he doesn't know what he owns because it's in a blind trust," Charlie
Gofen, a portfolio manager at Gofen and Glossberg, a Chicago-based
investment-counseling firm, told the paper at the time.
Frist's office provided the Scene with supporting documents into the
senator's blind trust. The paper hired an eight-member, bipartisan, unpaid
panel of experts in trusts from around the country to analyze it and what
the panel discovered was that Frist's blind trust "blind" trust isn't really
blind at all."
"Frist's ownership of HCA stock isn't considered a conflict of interest
according to Senate rules," the paper reported. "But then, according to
those rules, almost nothing qualifies as a conflict of interest."
Frist created his blind trust in accordance with the rules of the Ethics in
Government Act. That law states that a "qualified blind trust" must meet
certain requirements:
* The trustee, who is the individual charged with managing the assets of the
trust, must be independent.
* There can be no restrictions on disposing of the trust's assets.
* Communication between the trustee and the politician must be limited.
* And the trust must be approved by the Senate's Ethics Committee.
In 1995, with his holdings in HCA and the senator's increasing role in
shaping the nation's healthcare policies coming under intense scrutiny,
Frist first put his assets into a blind trust. Five years later, in December
2000, Frist put his assets into a newer blind trust, prompting the Nashville
Scene to ask "Why the new trust?"
"At the time he created his first trust, Frist's portfolio included
so-called "non-public securities," the paper reported. "More than likely,
these were private partnerships and the like. Federal laws say such
securities cannot be put into a so-called "qualified blind trust"-the type
of high-end trust that Frist now has. Once these securities were sold the
"more stringent" form of trust was created "as soon as practical."
Experts interviewed by the paper said what was likely the key selling point
for Frist when he created the new trust in December 2000 was that he given
the opportunity to look at his specific financial holdings, including HCA.
"Whenever one blind trust is discarded in favor of a newer one, panelists
say the blind trust ceases to be blind during the changeover period," the
paper reported.
But what was virtually unknown, is that Frist was able to figure out the
value of his financial holdings in the blind trust in a much simpler way
that would give him a window into the value of his HCA stock, the main
source of his wealth. Each year, the senator files his annual financial
disclosure statement with the Office of the Secretary of the Senate Frist is
required to disclose the amount of income generated from his blind trust.
Considering that 89 percent of his assets are tied up in HCA stock, the
senator would have a good indication of how well his stock has performed.
When Frist named Scobey as the administrator of his blind trust, he was
choosing a well-connected family friend.
James C. Gooch, a trust and estates attorney who has worked at the
prestigious Nashville law firm Bass Berry & Sims, the same firm where
Frist's brother-in-law H. Lee Barfield is a partner, drafted Frist's trust,
which, among other things, states that the trust is "concentrated in the
stock of HCA"; and Scobey, president of Equitable Trust, an institution
Frist has done business with for years, was chosen as the trustee.
"Scobey's boss at Equitable is William H. Cammack, the firm's chairman. In
fact, Gooch, Cammack and Scobey are all solid members of genteel West
Nashville culture, the same culture that produced and nurtured Bill Frist,"
the Nashville Scene reported.
Scobey, according to documents filed with the Secretary of the Senate,
doesn't charge Frist a substantial fee to manage the trust. Furthermore,
Equitable waived its $5,000 annual fee it usually charges individuals to
manage similar assets, as well as cut its management fee for trusts as big
as Frist's from .3 of 1 percent to .22 of 1 percent.
But wait, there's more. Back in September of 2002, a business partially
owned and funded by Frist was embroiled in a lawsuit that claimed that the
company's founder, along with Frist's business agent, sold a Laundromat to a
Bellevue, Tenn., couple at an inflated price.
Jon and Lynn Hargis of Bellevue, Tenn., didn't accuse the senator of
wrongdoing in their lawsuit against Campus Concepts Inc., a company that
Frist holds a 49 percent stake in. But the couple said Frist's close friend
and business partner, David E. Harvey, the president of Campus Concepts, had
told them that the Laundromat had grossed $10,000 more a month than it was
actually bringing in. The Hargises said Harvey provided them with tax
returns to back up his claims and the couple then agreed to purchase the
Laundromat for $460,000.
The Hargises discovered a few months later that the income figures Harvey
provided were grossly inflated and that he lied in papers he filed with the
Tennessee Department of Revenue. Frist has been an investor in Campus
Concepts since 1991.
At the time the lawsuit was filed, a spokeswoman for Frist told The
Tennessean Nashville newspaper that the senator wasn't involved in the
"day-to-day operations" of Campus Concepts and that his share and investment
in the business was placed into a blind trust.
"However, financial disclosure documents signed by Frist, a Tennessee
Republican from Nashville, and filed with the Senate starting the year after
he took office show he listed Campus Concepts as one of his assets, valued
at $50,000-$100,000," the paper reported. "His most recent disclosure for
[2001] lists as an asset an unsecured note from [the Laundromat] valued at
$100,000-$250,000. Asked how Frist could provide such information if he had
no knowledge of the assets in his blind trust, Frist's spokeswoman would not
elaborate."
It remains to be seen whether someone inside Hospital Corporation of America
(HCA) tipped off Frist earlier this year that the for-profit hospital chain
founded by his father, Thomas, and brother, Thomas Jr., expected to forecast
lower second quarter earnings July 13, just a couple of weeks after Frist
sold his stock, due to, among other things, an increase in uninsured
hospital admissions at HCA facilities. Or perhaps Frist is just a savvy
investor and the timing of his stock sales is coincidental.
It does seem that happenstance has been good to Senator Frist and HCA. Not
long after he was chosen as Majority Leader, the Department of Justice
abruptly ended a 10-year probe into how HCA defrauded the federal
government's Medicare and Medicaid programs. The Justice Department, which
surely had been pursuing federal criminal charges against HCA executives,
(including Frist's brother, Thomas Jr., HCA's former chief executive and
current board member) agreed to a $631 million settlement. In total, HCA
paid $1.7 billion in fines to keep at least one Frist out of jail, making it
the largest fraud settlement in U.S. history.
In February, just a few months before Frist claims he instructed the
administrator of his blind trust to unload his shares of HCA, company
insiders were dumping shares by the truckload, prompting shareholders to
raise questions on message boards and during HCA investor conference calls
whether HCA executives-and possibly Frist-knew something that the public
didn't know.
A number of HCA executives seemed to be were aware that the increase in
treating uninsured patients would have a negative impact on the company's
earnings. That would explain the massive sell off of HCA stock that started
Feb. 2, when HCA chairman Jack Bovender sold 500,000 shares (despite the
fact that HCA stock was near a 52-week high) earning roughly $9 million.
Bovender dumped his shares a day after a government official testified that
the health care industry's biggest problem was an increasing number of bad
debts from the uninsured that would no doubt worsen during the course of the
year.
Mike Leavitt, secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services,
said the Medicaid program was on shaky ground and there was a desperate need
to control spending on the government's health care coverage for the poor,
according to a May 6 story on HCA in TheStreet.com.
In April, Congress passed a budget that cut Medicaid by $10 billion over
five years for the first time since 1997, which is incidentally the same
year that "Congress passed the Balanced Budget Act that reduced hospital
payments and sent the industry into a tailspin," TheStreet.com reported.
That's a major financial blow to hospitals such as the ones controlled by
HCA and is what likely prompted the huge selloff by HCA executives.
Shortly after Bovender sold his shares several other insiders, including
Treasurer David Anderson and Chief Investment Officer Noel Williams and
three vice presidents sold their stock too, clearing tens of millions of
dollars. In fact, between January and June, HCA insiders sold shares worth
$112 million, 879,000 shares between March and April alone, netting the
execs $45 million.
Insider sales increased in the beginning of March when HCA said it planned
to sell 10 of its hospitals that were located in poor states that were
dealing with Medicaid troubles. On April 22, HCA President Richard Bracken
sold $4.13 million of company stock followed by Milton Johnson, the
company's chief financial officer, who sold twice that amount.
Speaking of the pending hospital sales, a footnote in HCA's past proxy
statements researched for this story has revealed something few HCA
investors seem to be aware of: the cozy and questionable business
relationship between the hospital chain and a company operated by the
son-in-law of HCA's former chairman, Thomas Frist, Senator Frist's father.
A company owned by the elder Frist's son-in-law, Charles Elcan, bought 116
medical office buildings from HCA back in December 2000 for $250 million,
which the hospital chain disclosed in a 2001 SEC filing, the website
footnoted.org said in April 22 posting. In a filing HCA made with the SEC
last year when the company, known as MedCap was sold for $575 million, HCA
disclosed for the first time that Elcan only put up a small fraction of the
initial $250 million back in December 2000.
"This year, HCA has provided even more details, though it's a somewhat
convoluted path involving a swap transaction that involves quite a bit of
alphabet soup," said footnoted.org. "What it appears to boil down to is that
HCA had to ante up even more money than it previously disclosed to
essentially help the son-in-law out of a jam, even though it was unusually
generous when it sold the office buildings to Elcan back in December 2000,
since that investment more than doubled in less than three years. HCA has
chosen to let details of the deal trickle out gradually over the past few
years which certainly leave one with the impression that they're trying to
hide something

Cheryl, I never said the Democrat's were taking away the Social Security,or Medicare,That was passed in 1968 under the L.B.Johnson term as president.
All Presidents since L.B.Johnson has taken money from the SS Fund..Johnson used it for the Viet Nam war,I think it was Ronald Reagan took who $ one trillion dollars from Social Security,during his term to help balance his budget..
Bush and his gang ,wants to make it private,Dick Cheney hates Social Security and the way bush and this war is spending money each day ,Social Security ,Medicare or any Federal Retirement may not be around very much longer.
Many retired Federal Employees are worried about losing their retirement,Im one of them..after 33 years ..
Also so many people ,and in the south have no retirement ,other then Social Security,and Medicare as their Health Insurance..Because so many American's can not afford health insurance,They never made enough money to save for a retirement.
Dr. (no heart ) frist,Tn.Senior Senator has written so many laws to help protect his interest in health care,Drugs cost.and making sure if a Dr screws up on you ,frist and his republican friends have made sure you can't sue the Dr or Hospital,or the drug company...GGGG The republican party are nice people...As long as you are one of them..rich,no morals,or a heart.
I read once when the Frist family owned HCA hospital ,over 750 Drs working for HCA were sued,because of malpractice..I think the year was 2003 or 2004?
If the S.S. Fund had been left alone,and all money earned taxed by Social Security ,all people rich or poor could enjoyed a few happy older years...
Cheryl,I think we as American's need to change all in Washington ,there also should be term limits,and it should be a law,that No federal employee can go to work for any company that he or she has had dealing with or a part of that company,under another name.
We need change on both sides of the isle, Bush has been the worse ever,in history,but we can help by going to vote in November.
Divide the power,not good for all three branches of Government being the same party.

I have been asked to contribute regarding 911 truth. I have focused heavily upon this topic every since early 2002 when Mike Rupperts video, Truth and Lies of 911 was released. For those not aware of the 911 truth movement, it is an effort to expose the overwhelming evidence that fatally contradicts the official story of 911 and indicates clearly that elements within are responsible for this crime.
If you are not familiar with this evidence, I recommend visiting www.ST911.org Scholars for 911 truth, an affiliation of professionals in the 911 truth movement. At this site you can link to online streaming of the video Loose Change 2nd Edition, one of many documentaries that cover the main points, particularly the controlled demolition of World Trade Center building 7. Dr. David Griffins book 911 Commission: Omissions and Distortions is a well-referenced synopsis. Also, 911truth.org, 911sharethetruth.com, reopen911.org and a myriad of others websites provide a one way ticket down the rabbit hole of what may be the greatest wool pulling over the peoples eyes in all of history.
Given the failure of the official account to withstand critical analysis or provide a serious response to the blatant incriminating evidence presented within 911 truth, I speak and write with confidence that 911 was an inside job and this article follows that presumption. If you have looked at the evidence thoroughly and disagree with this assessment, perhaps we can debate the issues at another time. The purpose of this article is to address reasons why many journalists and scholars of the liberal body politic are so reluctant to address this issue or even consider it worthy of attention.
Perhaps beginning with the progressive movement of the early 1900s, and certainly during Vietnam, there has been a political schism between liberals and conservatives in America that seems bitterly committed to vanquishing each others opponent. So it seems odd that a liberal mindset determined to stop the Bush warmongering would not jump at the greatest opportunity to expose the subterfuge and treason so clearly evident in the casus belli that 911 has provided for serial war. With evidence that would surely give pause if not outright sudden death to empire gone mad, the liberal media and intelligentsia are passing up the silver bullet of 911 truth. Certainly the topic of grand treason is the most difficult to broach, but why play it safe with excuses of intelligence and policy failures when the future of the world hangs in the balance? What on earth could be the problem?
A few in the liberal media do draw attention
. notably Mike Malloy. And Congressperson Cynthia McKinney deserves credit for taking heat for some insinuating statements, but she has never spoken 911 truth on the floor, nor publicly endorsed scholars who make damning accusations based upon factual evidence.
Overall, despite the potential powder keg that 911 truth could deliver, icons of the liberal camp steer clear. Even if 911 truth turns out to be wrong, no one could be shamed for pointing out the blatant inconsistencies and outright lies of the official account. If so, then Dr. Griffin would have been run out of town on a rail. As it is, he is simply ignored. Real dialogue and evidence is shuffled off to the side while the left/right polemical diatribes continue on ad nauseam. Though 911 truth could cut to the chase and expose the emperors nudity, the empire rest firmly in place.
Can you say controlled opposition?
Now I will admit that if there were not a CIA and other covert U.S. agencies committing atrocities and coup de tates around the world like Project Gladio, the NATO/CIA false flag operation of subway bombings in Italy blamed on the Communists to manipulate elections, the overthrow of Allende in Chile, Mossadeqh in Iran, Arbenz in Guatemala, to name a very few, and countless murders of innocent people worldwide, then it would be unreasonable to think that elements within our government are inclined to such behavior. But in fact, as liberal patriarch Bill Moyers has so well chronicled, its their modus operandi. And if there were no Council on Foreign Relations and Trilateral Commission with members like Zbigniew Brzezinski and Georgetown Professor Carol Quigley writing books that outline a concerted effort among these organizations to wage war to reshape the world in their image then 911 truth should be viewed with greater skepticism before given a forum. But the liberal
scholars of our day have made an industry off of this criminal behavior within the ranks of federal government. Is there any reason beyond sentimental wishful thinking to suppose they would not extend this criminal conduct at home, especially given the fact of official projects to infect the population with radiation and biological and chemical agents? Why such a strong objection to a false flag operation at home now that there exists so much evidence that this is exactly the case?
The accusation of controlled opposition may seem harsh, but if the liberal pundits were to expound upon the admitted intentions of the empire builders to enact controlled opposition within America as hardily as they expose the hegemony of empire, we might get somewhere. As it is, foot soldiers of the left unwittingly follow those pundits with high hopes of social change, never really looking behind the curtain.
"The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum."
- Noam Chomsky
Time does not permit a detailing of the history of how powerful public policy institutions like the Carnegie Institute hobbled political debate with plans of controlled opposition. It becomes self evident when we look at the acquiescence of the left to the blatant conspiracy to kill JFK. Every year, with violins playing in the background, NPRs Daniel Shore reassures us we have a psychological need for conspiracy theories to cope with the stress of losing a great leader. (Though I fail to see how believing that my own government whacked JFK is supposed to bring me comfort) Bowing slightly to reality, Chomsky and Cockburn admit that even if its true, its not beneficial to go there. The liberal cause will be better served if we just move on.
Noam Chomsky has made this statement regarding 911 inside job, "That's an internet theory and it's hopelessly implausible. Hopelessly implausible. So hopelessly implausible I don't see any point in talking about it."
He has not addressed the evidence, like the controlled demolition of building 7, the NORAD response debacle or a myriad of other factors that indict the empire.
Noam Chomsky has taken great pains to expose the abuses of empire and its facilitators. From E. Timor massacre to the takeover of media by ruthless corporate agendas, Noam has been a beacon of righteous indignation against the system. Or should I qualify that, and say, within the system.
For whatever reason, and I cant presume what is in his heart, Noam does not bring out the big guns when going after crimes of the empire. To this day he stands by the Warren Commissions findings that Oswald acted alone, despite a Congressional finding in 1978 that new evidence confirms a conspiracy. Professor Joan Mellons meticulous new book Farewell to Justice makes the CIA connections that Jim Garrison had not the time or resources to complete. Here as well, the liberal response to such a powerful indictment of the empire is deafening in its silence. Waco would be another good example: Congressman Burtons investigation concluding that the infrared video showing snipers firing upon persons in the building was just a fluke of light was an obvious sham, exposed with little effort by independent researches. Again, silence.
How can the liberal camp be so quick to expose great crimes of empire when they occur across the border, but seem stricken by a spell of obsequiousness when those great crimes occur within America? Is it like a family stricken with the realization that Daddy has done something so terribly wrong and that we must not speak of it, least the family not survive? In essence, do liberals accept the empire as a fait accompli? Their task is not to eliminate empire but to work within it, to challenge the misdeeds but not the doer. Any issue that is too powerful, that would require an overhaul of the institutions of society that presently dominate the political discourse, (within which, liberalism is firmly entrenched) is off the table. This would be understandable. Such issues might be viewed as evidence that the state is corrupt beyond salvation and nothing short of revolution could restore the republic. And people who like big government, (and thats everybody except
libertarians, anarchists and Rush Limbaugh - and hes only pretending in order to dupe his conservative listeners into thinking limited government is still taken seriously by the Republican leadership) dont want to even mention the word republic least people remember what America once really stood for.
Both parties are now committed statists. For them, there is only one solution to problems of government: more government. But by definition, empire cannot be controlled. It must be prevented.
So what does America really stand for? Heres my spiel.
IMHO, our Constitutional Republic is a prescription for limited government and thus the control of empire. Albeit flawed in detail, but not in concept, it provides a social contract wherein the citizen grants authority to the state because each possesses inherent rights that supersede powers of the state. The individual is self-sovereign. Through checks and balances the state is subservient to the individuals conscience. And empire is held at abeyance while private society enjoys civil and personal liberties. Certainly it seems to have failed in spades. But that failure can be directly correlated to the erosion of its principles by a degenerative political culture beginning with the co opting of the progressive movement and the migration of addressing grievances from the courtroom to government bureaucracy. No article could do justice to this convoluted issue, but I would like to try to encapsulate it -
The reduction and elimination of violence is the mark of civilization. Nonviolence is the truest means of effecting social change with a lasting benefit. A social contract that has this goal as its raison detre seems most conducive to social harmony and prosperity. George Washington said it first
government is violence. It is a fearful servant and a terrible master. Laws of government are enforced keyword being force. Every law, every government program, has within it the initiation of violence. Though subtle and usually unseen, it is nonetheless a constant presence and not without effect upon the social psyche. As such, the necessary evil that is government should be reserved to ensuring a judicial response to the violations of one persons rights by another, tendered by the impartial discretions of a jury system, rather than a preemptive regulatory function by the state that is quickly co-opted and perverted by special interests (read corporate fascism).
The former is the prescription of our republic that I encourage we seek again. And that means the sacrifice of government programs that, however well intentioned, violate the principles of the republic and are surely co opted by corporate designs and made fertile ground for fascism and empire at the expense of civil liberties and healthy economic prosperity that has forever been directly proportional to personal liberty. In essence, recalling the Jeffersonian preference to decentralization; empowering the tenth amendment and restoring the function of Federalism as a guarantor of civil liberties rather than a threat to them.
But the liberal and conservative leadership, entrenched in a good cop/bad cop routine upon the private citizen, are in an arms race of government engineering. We forget they are both working for the same department, intent on vanquishing self sovereignty. Should this continue, we will lose the distinction of privacy and all become subjects of an Orwellian State, bereft of civil liberties. In essence, a return to the social contract America sought to escape.
I am digressing with this patriotic rant, but there is a connection.
Empire and social engineering go hand in hand. Exposing 911 truth could be a coup de grace to the evil empire now rising from the ashes of 911. It would seem, therefore, to threaten the liberal agenda as well. Here, I believe, is a major cause of the silence from the liberal camp.
It need not be an intentional effort by the vast majority on either side. The followers of both ideologies take their cues from the hierophants that are often in the employ of academic institutions and think tanks that are funded by the military industrial complex. Money has a way of speaking for itself. There is analogy in the health industry. The medical teaching and research industry has been funded for the past century by the coal tar based, allopathic pharmaceutical industry, namely, via the Rockefeller institute. Though the side effects of the prescribed drugs are the third leading cause of death, debate within the industry on their value to society is surely influenced by financial realities. A diabetic person entrapped in this system is worth $750,000 over the average lifespan. Doctors are learning, but it is difficult overcoming the indoctrination that the funding of medical colleges by industry has wrought. The problem is only so serious because the
empire of pharmaceutical medicine has indoctrinated us with the need for the police powers of governmental regulations like the FDA that have effectively and forcefully excluded much better alternatives.
This forced diet of petroleum medicine has provided a healthy care program for the big ten drug, manufacturers whose profits exceed all other fortune 500 combined; but most folks are victimized by this custodial view of government. Where is the self sovereignty and right to choice? How can we send young men and women to fight for freedom and not demand it at home? There are private alternatives to this protection racket that simply require a responsible effort from the individual. We have traded liberty for security and now have neither. Were 911 truly an attack from without, I would not postulate that we are being plundered from within. But there you have it. As surely as seeing the Huns charging toward the village with battleaxes raised, but with all the finesse that Madison Avenue affords we are under attack by elements we hardly can identify. The financial co-opting of government that drove our military machine around the globe this past century has come home
to roost. It is out to eliminate liberty and replace it with a saccharine brave new world. Can we stop this little shop of horrors of big government by feeding it more, or by returning to the nonviolent principles idealized in our constitution? Our self reliance will reduce empire and its attack upon ourselves and the world.
The dynamics of how our government is hijacked and society plundered will be the subject of future articles relating to our monetary system
the Federal Reserve. For now, the details are not necessary. The evidence is blatant and the time is now. It is imperative that we promote 911 truth if we are to ever expose and rid ourselves of empire and oligarchy. We must forego looking to others for the lead. We can show one another the truth and let social dynamics of this knowledge take its course. Martin Luther had the new printing press, we have dvd burners. It is a tough choice to expose this terrible thing, but what choice is there, really? Does any political expediency ever trump justice? Its not about political strategy, its about right and wrong and what kind of a world we want for future generations.
I would like to close with the stinging words of a great liberal, Vincent Salandria. Now in his 70s, he fought long and hard to expose the JFK assassination as the work of the National Security State. In the end, he became resigned to an awful realization. He spoke these words to a younger colleague
. I'm afraid we were misled. All the critics, myself included, were misled very early. I see that now. We spent too much time and effort micro analyzing the details of the assassination when all the time it was obvious, it was blatantly obvious that it was a conspiracy. Don't you think that the men who killed Kennedy had the means to do it in the most sophisticated and subtle way? They chose not to. Instead, they picked the shooting gallery that was Dealey Plaza and did it in the most barbarous and openly arrogant manner. The cover story was transparent and designed not to hold, to fall apart at the slightest scrutiny. The forces that killed Kennedy wanted the message
clear: 'We are in control and no one - not the President, nor Congress, nor any elected official - no one can do anything about it.' It was a message to the people that their Government was powerless."
"The tyranny of power is here. Current events tell us that those who killed Kennedy can only perpetuate their power by promoting social upheaval both at home and abroad. And that will lead not to revolution but repression. I suggest to you, my friend, that the interests of those who killed Kennedy now transcend national boundaries and national priorities. No doubt we are dealing now with an international conspiracy. We must face the fact -- not waste any more time micro analyzing the evidence. That's exactly what they want us to do. They have kept us busy for so long. And I will bet, buddy, that is what will happen to you. They'll keep you very, very busy and eventually, they'll wear you down."
911 is in your face blatancy. Is it a message that resistance is futile and freedom is only a jingle for the jingoheads. Chase windmills if you must, but stay within the directives of your appointed leaders, and dont look at that man behind the curtain. Empire is not to be examined in real ways. Is this our lot? Is this, in reality, the sum history of civilization? Its a rigged game, but now that we have the information age, it has become necessary to send the message that, yes, now that you mention it, you are slaves.
Possibly. Regardless, we have a choice only we can make and 911 truth affords do we resign ourselves to empire or do we attempt to extricate it from human endeavor as we progress toward the stars. Do we live in blissful willful blindness or do we rise above it?
America stumbled in her beginnings. Abuses of Native Americans and slavery are karmic burdens we must overcome. She has her problems. But she offers a means of social reconciliation and achievement that oligarchy and all its patriarchal will could never achieve, nor even want to.
911 marks the endgame of a historical consortium of plutocrats to re-enthrone feudalism and facilitate full throttle colonialism, emboldened with technological advantage and a brain-dead populace. Their own doctrines and behavior betray this intent. The American vision to ignite the human spirits call to new frontiers under the banner of self sovereignty is far preferable to the ruling elite of inbred, amoral power mongers now attempting to expunge true liberty from world culture. If they succeed, there will no place left on earth to hide. But with 911 truth we can expose and overcome the commissars of public debate that have inculcated controlled opposition into the discourse and limited our ability to eliminate empire from the world. Though some argue that general populace is incapable of self determination and oligarchy with all its unpleasant trappings is a necessity, I take it on faith that the Age of Enlightenment was not in vain in its founding of America and
that humanity is more capable of charting the tumultuous future than the parasitic moneychangers that have co opted the Constitution. Their elimination could be the greatest hurdle to vault on our path to the stars. Great fear comes from confronting the sins of the father government. But we must if we are to have any semblance of real liberty and a secure future existence as anything but automatons. And all we have to do is tell the truth.
We are at the crossroads of politics and justice. Is there really a choice?

"May Day" is not actually an imported day. It began in Canada and the U.S.A. in the late 19th century in the struggle for the 8 hour work day. The Soviet Union adopted it officially much later on. The actual original May Day is an ancient pre-Christian ceremony marking the opening of a new season of growth and renewal of the basic truths of life cycles. So this choice by the so-called illegals is actually quite appropriate even if it does not sit well in some modern American circles. But then again the original American Revolution did not sit well in the power circles of its time.

The Vatican is not the mastermind to the world's corruption!
The pilots of the planes who attacked the USS Liberty were Israelis, not Jesuits. Take a look yourself: USSLiberty.org <http://www.ussliberty.org/> or judicial-inc liberty <http://judicial-inc.biz/uss_liberty.htm>
The "dancing Arabs" on 9-11 turned out to be Israelis with Arab clothing, not Jesuits with Arab clothing.
The "art students" that were picked up after 9-11 were Israeli Jews, not Italian Catholics.
The landlord of the World Trade Center is Jewish, not Catholic, and so are most all of the people pushing the Black Pope nonsense and trying to cover up the demolition of the towers.
The television, newspapers, and magazines that are suppressing evidence of these crimes are Jewish, not Italian or Catholic.
There are lots of reasons to believe Zionists are the problem:
www.iamthewitness.com/DarylBradfordSmith_ZionSummary.html <http://www.iamthewitness.com/DarylBradfordSmith_ZionSummary.html>
"We are watching you"
The criminals are not getting away with these crimes because they are too sneaky to leave clues. Rather, they get away with them because most people turn their head. We can easily identify many of the criminals; we are watching you, and recording your names. Some obvious examples:
Eric Jon Phelps is one of many people who are trying to convince us that Pope and other Catholic Church officials are the source of all evil in the world.
His site is vaticanassassins.org <http://www.vaticanassassins.org/> Here is one document. <http://www.thewatcherfiles.com/vatican-ny.html>

Here is one of his Jesuit articles <http://www.skolnicksreport.com/ootar42.html> . And here is one about the Black Pope <http://www.skolnicksreport.com/bvop2.html> .
Greg Szymanski, who often promotes the theory that the Vatican is behind the world's problems. He also promotes Eric Jon Phelps. His site is arcticbeacon.com <http://www.arcticbeacon.com/index.html>
The Catholic Church is impotent The Catholic Church may have had significant influence in European life in 1200 AD, but it has never been so impotent. For a few examples:
There are fewer priests and nuns than ever before.
The Catholic schools have to bring in lay teachers because there are too few Jesuits.
The Church is suffering serious damage because they are being hit with one charge of pedophilia after the next.
Catholic Churches around the world are losing attendance.
None of the top church officials have the intelligence or technical skills to plan or execute the demolition of the WTC towers, nor do the Church officials have the necessary control over the media of Europe, Australia, or America to suppress news of the scam.
The City of London,
British Freemasonry,
the Knights Templars... are these the world's evil masters?
Barry Chamish blames the world's problem on "British Freemasonry". In one article he claims that Israel was created by these "British Jewish Masonic families". In another article he tells us about the "Nazi Jesuits": "The destruction of the Jews is a primary goal of the Jesuits."
Barry Chamish wants us to believe that the British Jewish Masonic families are also Nazis. And they created Israel because they really want to destroy Jews. Sure.
Here is his article about the "Nazi Jesuits". <http://www.barrychamish.com/article_archive/2003/jul_03.html#July%2012>
Do these Jesuits have so much control over the media of Europe, Australia, and America that they can suppress those of us who expose them? If not, they cannot be said to be in control.
The Black Pup
Daryl Smith has decided to admit that his dog brought the WTC towers down. This evil dog is a British Jewish Nazi Freemason whose ultimate goal is....
Recent photograph of the Black Pup as he formulates his dastardly plans for world conquest.
Please ladies and gentlemen,
Watch out for the deception!
"By way of deception, thou shalt do war <http://www.la.unm.edu/~ann/quotes.html> ."
There is only one explanation for 9-11 and our current wars. All of the evidence points to this being a Zionist power grab.
Only the Zionists have the organization, motivation, technical skills, and financial backing to risk and execute such a phenomenal crime.
And only the Zionists have enough control of the media to cover up such a phenomenal crime.
All of the people who fall for this tripe about Black Popes and Jesuits should be told to pull their head out of that dark place.
Any journalist, author, government official, or web site that promotes this Black Pope nonsense is bought and paid for. Nobody is stupid enough to believe accusations that have zero supporting evidence.
It is time everybody warned their friends,
"Watch out for Sherman Skolnick, Barry Chamish, and other Truth Tellers who promote unsupported, vague, and confusing accusations, such as this crap about the Black Pope. Look for serious analyses.
Some of what these liars say is true, but their lies will hurt more than their truth helps."
Follow the Money
Specifically, the flow of money into the banking families, and the billion dollar per year river of money from Europe and America into Israel.
Don't become one of their useful idiots. Take a look at who -- and which nation -- has been benefiting from the wars, suffering, and hate crimes.
It ain't difficult to figure out the real masterminds of this misery. We may not know many of their names, but we know they are the people who control our banking system, our media, our military, and Israel.

global realignment where states either submit to the Washington axis or
join the growing resistance. We are quickly moving towards Bush's dream
of a world that is divided into "us against them".

Robert Fisk: Seen through a Syrian lens,
'Unknown Americans' are provoking civil war in Iraq
By Robert Fisk
The Americans, my interlocutor suspected, are trying to provoke an
Iraqi civil war so that Sunni Muslim insurgents spend their energies
killing their Shia co-religionists rather than soldiers of the Western
occupation forces. "I swear to you that we have very good information,"
my source says, finger stabbing the air in front of him.

Subject: [911TruthAction] If US Attacks Iran- Central and Southeast
Asia Will Be Contaminated with Deadly Radiation
Two hours ago in Tehran, Iran said that it would allow the UN to resume
snap inspection of its nuclear facilities if the dispute goes
again before the UN nuclear monitor. The US has rejected this offer
(Are we surprised? NOT!) and is going forward in what appears to be its
next step against making Iran the next victim on the US Military
Nuclear "Hit List" of nations by moving forward to the UN Security
Council.
The citizens of the US must simply NOT allow our military to engage in
one more nuclear war against untold millions of innocent people! We
have done MORE than enough damage already (see articles by Leuren
Moret below for more details).
Please join me in hounding Congress relentlessly over this outrage on
Monday morning. We need to tell all of Congress that we REFUSE
to blanket the Asian continent in any more radiation, as we have
sufficiently devastated Eurasia already!
Please read these important articles below and become aware of the
radioactive poison that our military has been using overseas in our
weapons since 1991. Then, I urge you please, *please* pass this along
to everyone you know.
This is not - repeat NOT - going to stop until the US citizens
all DEMAND that it stop! The US War-Making Killing Madness MUST stop!
Thank you,

The US and Israel are threatening nuclear war on Iran.
The Chinese intelligence have already warned countries
that will be contaminated with radiation from monsoon

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.
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.
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.
I have been on SAHAR TV - Teheran Office warning
about this radiation and discussing other issues.
I have lived in Iran and was married to an Iranian. I
love Iran and the people. This cannot happen to Iran,
it will make the country radioactive forever.

Journal. Look at the map and see where Iran is in

Launching of Iran's Oil Stock Exchange in May
Establishment of
Oil Stock Exchange in its final stage
April 30, 2006
iribnews.ir
Tehran, April 27 - Oil Minister Kazem Vaziri Hamaneh said on Wednesday
that the establishment of Oil Stock Exchange is in its final stage and
the bourse will be launched in Iran in the next week.
He told reporters, upon arrival from Qatar where he attended the 10th
General Assembly of International Energy Agency and consultations with
OPEC member states, that registration of the Oil Stock Exchange is
underway and the entity will operate after being approved by the
Council of Stock Exchange.
He rejected a statement attributed to him saying that Oil Stock
Exchange will bring to the ground the US economy and said, "I don't
know who has speculated that I've not talked about US economy." Asked
about conference on energy in Doha, he said that more than 60 countries
and 30 oil companies and consultants took part in the conference.
Vaziri Hamaneh said that serious discussions were held including
security of supply and demand, security of investment in energy and
environment issues.
"The best method for security of demand in the oil sector is that
consumers should be given opportunity to enter into partnership with
the suppliers in investment in oil industry." He said that the
conference called for diversifying energy resources and cooperation of
the developed states with the countries possessing oil and gas
resources.
Asked about the oil price rise, Vaziri-Hamaneh said that oil price is
being influenced by political situation, whereas it should be freed
from political impacts and economic and technical fundamentals should
determine the oil prices.
"As long as political impacts dominate the oil market, price hike will
continue," he concluded.

AMNESTY REPORT: THE NAKED FACE OF U.S. FASCISM:
REPORT ON THE INHUMAN USE OF TORTURE IN USE BY THE MANAGERS OF THE
UNITED STATES AND OTHER CRIMINALS OF ALL NATIONALITIES WHO SUPPORT
THIS: ''AS OF NOW, THE U.S. HAS YET TO PROSECUTE A SINGLE OFFICIAL,
MILITARY OFFICER OR PRIVATE CONTRACTOR FOR "TORTURE" OR "WAR CRIMES"
RELATED TO ITS OCCUPATIONS OF IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN, OR THE "WAR ON
TERROR."
U.S. PREPARES TO FACE U.N. ON TORTURE AS AMNESTY REPORT BLASTS WAR
CRIMES*
FPF-FWD.: MAY 1ST - 2006 - FILED BY RAW STORY
As the United States prepares a team of 30 to defend its record on
torture before a U.N. committee, Amnesty International has made public
a report blasting the United States for failing to take appropriate
steps to eradicate use of torture at U.S. detention sites around the
world, RAW STORY has learned.
U.S. compliance with the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel,
Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment will be the topic of May 5
and 8 U.N. hearings in Geneva.
The United States last appeared before the Committee Against Torture in
May, 2000. Amnesty claims that practices criticized by the Committee
six years ago -- such as the use of electro-shock weapons and
excessively harsh conditions in "super-maximum" security prisons --
have been used and exported by U.S. forces abroad.
The Amnesty report - Beyond Abu Ghraib: detention and torture in Iraq*
- reviews several cases where U.S. detainees held in Afghanistan and
Iraq have died as a result of torture. The group also lambasts U.S. use
of electro-shock weapons, inhuman and degrading conditions of isolation
in "super-max" security prisons and abuses against women in the prison
system -- including sexual abuse by male guards, shackling while
pregnant and even in labor.
AS OF NOW, THE U.S. HAS YET TO PROSECUTE A SINGLE OFFICIAL, MILITARY
OFFICER OR PRIVATE CONTRACTOR FOR "TORTURE" OR "WAR CRIMES" RELATED TO
ITS OCCUPATIONS OF IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN, OR THE "WAR ON TERROR."
"The heaviest sentence imposed on anyone to date for a torture-related
death while in U.S. custody is five months," notes Curt Goering, Senior
Deputy Executive Director for Amnesty International USA. "[That's] the
same sentence that you might receive in the U.S. for stealing a
bicycle."
The five month sentence resulted from the death of a 22-year-old
taxi-driver, who had been hooded and chained to a ceiling, then kicked
and beaten until dead.
"The U.S. government is not only failing to take steps to eradicate
torture," he adds, "it is actually creating a climate in which torture
and other ill-treatment can flourish -- including by trying to narrow
the definition of torture."
The report argues that these cases are not isolated incidents, but part
of an overall pattern condoned by U.S. officials.
"While the government continues to try to claim that the abuse of
detainees in U.S. custody was mainly due to a few 'aberrant' soldiers,
there is clear evidence to the contrary," said Javier Zuniga, Amnesty
International's Americas Program Director. "Most of the torture and
ill-treatment stemmed directly from officially sanctioned procedures
and policies -- including interrogation techniques approved by
Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld."
Amnesty's findings have already been sent to members of the UN
Committee Against Torture.
At its May 1-19 session, the Committee Against Torture will consider
reports presented by Georgia, Guatemala, Republic of Korea, Qatar,
Peru, Togo and the United States. With the exceptions of Korea and
Peru, Amnesty has also provided reports about the actions of these
nations.

Hideous Kinky:
Moral Nullity as Normality in Pentagon Plans
By Chris Floyd
May 1, 2006
chrisfloyd.com
Imagine growing up in a family where every day, father raped daughter,
mother tortured son, brother abused brother, sister stole from sister,
and the whole family murdered neighbors, friends and passing strangers.
Imagine the underlying assumptions about life that you would adopt
without question in such an atmosphere, how normal the most hideous
depravity would seem. If some outsider chanced to ask you about your
family's latest activities, you would spew out perversions as calmly
and unthinkingly as a man giving directions to the post office.
This state of unwitting confession to monstrous crime has been the
default mode of the American Establishment for many years now.
Government officials routinely detail policies that in a healthy
atmosphere would shake the nation to its core, stand out like a gaping
wound, a rank betrayal of every hope, ideal and sacrifice of
generations past. Yet in the degraded sensibility of these times, such
confessions go unnoticed, their evil unrecognized or even lauded as
savvy ploys or noble endeavors. Inured to moral horror by half a
century of outrages committed by the "National Security" complex, the
Establishment along with the media and vast swathes of the population
can no longer discern the poison in the air they breathe. It just
seems normal.
And so it was again this week when the Washington Post outlined the
Pentagon's plan to put dirty war by death squad, by snatch squad, by
secret armies, subversion, torture and terrorism at the very heart of
America's military philosophy. Not defense against declared enemies,
not deterrence of potential foes, but conducting "continuous" covert
military operations in countries "where the United States is not at
war" is now the Pentagon's "highest priority," according to the new
"campaign plan for the global war on terror" issued by Donald Rumsfeld.
Whats more, the plan makes it clear that Rumsfeld, far from being
politically vulnerable as portrayed in the ludicrous kabuki of the
Establishment media has in fact been exalted above every other
institution and official of the U.S. government, with the exception of
the twin tyrants in the White House, George W. Bush and Dick Cheney.
The Pentagon warlord has been given carte blanche to send the 53,000
secret soldiers of the Special Operations Command into any nation he
pleases, to undertake any mission he pleases, without Congressional
approval, legal restraint, or the authority of the target nation's U.S.
ambassador. Thus America's diplomats, the ostensible representatives of
the nation abroad, have been reduced to mere frontmen, pathetic beards
for black ops savaging the laws, sovereignty and citizens of their
hosts.
The "campaign plan" is the culmination and codification of an ad hoc
array of progams and powers that Bush has doled out to Rumsfeld over
the years, including a series of executive orders signed after the 2004
election that essentially turned the world into a "global free-fire
zone" for the Pentagons secret armies and proxy foreign militias, as a
top Pentagon official told Seymour Hersh . "We're going to be riding
with the bad boys," another Bush insider said. Yet another courtier
compared it to the glory days of the Reagan-Bush years: "Do you
remember the right-wing execution squads in El Salvador? We founded
them and we financed them. The objective now is to recruit locals in
any area we want. And we aren't going to tell Congress about it." The
overriding ethos of the plan is, like its progenitors Bush and
Rumsfeld, brutally simple: "The rules are 'Grab whom you must. Do what
you want,'" an intelligence official explained to Hersh.
Perhaps most ominously, the plan makes copious preparations for
expanding the range of the terror war even further. The trigger for
these new actions is another terrorist strike on American soil. Oddly
enough, the Bush Faction considers such an unspeakable horror as an
"opportunity," Pentagon officials told the Post; it would provide a
"justification," they said, for hitting already targeted individuals,
groups and states that for various political reasons have not yet been
subjected to what Bush likes to call, in his bloodthirsty parlance,
"the path of action."
But perhaps this is not so odd. After all, even as the poisonous smoke
was still rising from the ruins of the World Trade Center in September
2001, Bush giddily declared that "through my tears, I see opportunity."
We now know exactly what he saw: the opportunity to launch the
long-determined invasion of Iraq, even though he knew that his stated
reasons for the war were false, as Tyler Drumheller, the CIA's top man
in Europe before the war, noted this week. Drumheller told CBS that his
team had direct intelligence from Saddam's inner circle confirming
Iraq's dearth of WMD intelligence backed up by multiple sources --
but the White House told him it didn't matter. They had decided on war
and "were looking for intelligence to fit into the policy" the
formula for falsehood revealed in the "Downing Street Memos" uncovered
in 2004. Predictably, this latest smoking gun evidence of the most
heinous war crime imaginable launching a war of aggression based
knowingly on a false and manufactured threat (the precise equivalent of
Hitler's invasion of Poland in 1939) was instantly deep-sixed by the
Establishment media, like all the other proofs of the Regime's criminal
perfidy that have surfaced briefly over the years.
But of course this is not the only malevolent "opportunity" seized by
the Bush Regime. Since October 2002, following up on deep-delving
investigative work by William Arkin, we've been tracking another
"opportunistic" endeavor: the Pentagon's plan to foment terrorism by
infiltrating terrorist groups and militias and goading them into action
i.e., commiting acts of murder and destruction in order to "flush
them out" for counterattacks or use them to advance American policy in
targeted states, including "justification" for U.S. military
intervention or occupation. (More details can be found here and here .)
Perhaps some of Rumsfeld's infiltrators were "riding with the bad boys"
who struck in Dahab, Egypt this week. With unrestricted black ops now
ascendant, we can never know for sure. But we do know that each act of
terror only enhances the power of the ever-expanding national security
complex, entwining it in a mutually beneficial embrace with violent
extremists everywhere.
Rumsfeld's "campaign plan" is itself a blueprint for state terrorism,
an open license to break any and every law on earth and inflict mass
human suffering on a global scale. Yet the only controversial aspect of
this sinister program noted by the Post was the potential turf battles
it might spark within the national security bureaucracy. Not a single
question was raised about the morality or legality of the undertaking;
the Pentagon's assertion that only "bad guys" would be hit was simply
swallowed whole despite the glaring fact that tens of thousands of
innocent people have already been killed or falsely imprisoned in the
so-called "war on terror."
But this depravity passes without comment, without recognition. It's
just normal, you see. It's the way we were raised.
This is an extended version of a column appearing in the April 28
edition of The Moscow Times.

** snips of LYRICS ::
Won't need no shadow man
runnin the government
won't need no stinkin WAR
===
And when the dawn breaks I see my fellow man
and on the flat-screen we kill and we're killed again
and when the night falls, I pray for PEACE,
Try to remember PEACE
I join the multitudes
I raise my hand in PEACE
I never bow to the laws of the thought police
I take a holy vow
to never kill again
to never kill again
...
In the crowded streets
in the big hotels
in the mosques and the doors of the old museum
I take a holy vow
to never kill again.
Try to remember PEACE
===
let's impeach the president for lyin
misleading our country into WAR
abusing all the power that we gave him
and shipping all our money out the door
who's the man who hired all the criminals
the white house shadows who hide behind closed doors
and bend the facts to fit with their new story
of why we have to send our men to war
let's impeach the president for spyin
on citizens inside their own homes
breaking ev'ry law in the country
by tapping our computers and telephones
===
Dont need no ad machine
telling me what I need
dont need no Madison Avenue War
...
how do you pay for war
and leave us dyin'?
When you could do so much more
You're not even tryin
...
don't need no more lies
===
thousands of children scarred for life

other good news:
Pearl Jam's new single, "World Wide Suicide," the story of a mother
mourning a son killed in battle because his was a life "the President
took
for granted," tops Billboard's Modern Rock chart. Bruce Springsteen has
recorded a rollicking tribute to protest songs by the country's most
famous
folk singer in a new album, The Seeger Sessions: We Shall Overcome. Moby
and REM's Michael Stipe just headlined an antiwar "Bring 'Em Home Now"
concert, and the Dixie Chicks are letting Bush know they're not backing
down, with their new single, "Not Ready to Make Nice." The extent to
which
Bush's fortunes have turned may be summed up by the news that pop singer
Pink, who began the Bush era promising to "Get the Party Started," is
ending it with a sobering lament, "Dear Mr. President," that savages
Bush's
stances on gay rights, the minimum wage and the war.
For years, Justin Sane, lead singer of the political punk band
Anti-Flag,
said it was "left to artists to make the statements that should be
getting
put into the public discourse." But Anti-Flag is no longer shouting from
the sidelines. The band's new CD, For Blood and Empire, features the
song
"Depleted Uranium Is a War Crime." It was inspired by an appearance at a
2004 Punk Voter rally in Seattle with Representative Jim McDermott, a
Vietnam-era vet who has introduced legislation calling for an
investigation
of the military's use of DU. McDermott is on the CD, and the band is
spearheading a drive to get Congress to act on the bill.

next month, Paul Simon, another '60s crusader, will release his album
"Surprise," which includes the song "Wartime Prayers," a disheartened
meditation about psychic war wounds....
