RISK talked about below is Milligauss.. Guide to Using Electromagnetic EMF Measurement Instruments

Do you have one of these under your feet or at your children’s feet? (at home, work or school?)
Risk is above 2 mG - my alarm clock is around 27 mG.. moved it 2′ from our heads at night so then it was .02 mG at the bed.

My partner was told he has leukemia.. in October 08. This black battery backup pictured below was under his desk within inches of his feet.

Photos above show 3 different battery backups brought from Costco, Kona. (2 black, one white)
The white one was under my children’s desk.. The blank upside down reading was OFF the Scale of the reader.. above 200 mG… the wires on the floor under the desk were about 27 mG.

As you get farther away.. the field readings drop quickly… I put mine several feet away from my desk now.

Several studies suggest “a doubling of childhood leukemia incidence between 1 and 2 mG” and up to a sixfold increase for exposures between 4 and 5 mG, says Sage. There have even been hints of a breast cancer risk in adults exposed to high fields More recently, several other sources have been added: large currents on the job, poorly grounded wiring, and appliances. Magnetic fields do not necessarily correlate with the size, power, or noisiness of a device. Moreover, there can be a tremendous difference between models of an appliance. Because it’s difficult to shield oneself from magnetic fields, the only practical way to limit exposures is to put distance between oneself and the source.

Electromagnetic Fields Exert Effects on and Through Hormones - articles - articles.mercola.com

Several years ago, Cindy Sage hired an electrician to install a new light in her daughter’s bedroom. After he left, Sage swept the room with a gaussmeter to measure the magnetic fields present. In some 98 percent of U.S. homes, the average strength of magnetic fields ranges from 0.5 to 0.9 milligauss (mG). Until the electrician’s visit, the field in Sage’s daughter’s room also fell within that range. Afterward, it was 3 mG.

Although that reading is somewhat higher than normal, it falls well below the federally permitted 1,000-mG limit for U.S. workplaces. However, this didn’t reassure Sage, a Montecito, Calif based consultant specializing in electromagnetic field (EMF) issues. The workplace limit “is based on the faulty assumption that only thermal, or heat, effects are important as a potential biological hazard,” she says.

Sage called the electrician back to find out what he’d done. It turns out that he hadn’t wired the light according to the electrical code. When he rewired the room, its average field dropped to 0.2 mG. Electromagnetic fields are invisible lines of force that surround all electric devices and wiring. Concern about the potential health effects of these fields was catalyzed in the late 1970s by studies suggesting an association between childhood leukemia and proximity to certain types of power lines or equipment, such as utility transformers.

Several studies suggest “a doubling of childhood leukemia incidence between 1 and 2 mG” and up to a sixfold increase for exposures between 4 and 5 mG, says Sage. There have even been hints of a breast cancer risk in adults exposed to high fields More recently, several other sources have been added: large currents on the job, poorly grounded wiring, and appliances. Magnetic fields do not necessarily correlate with the size, power, or noisiness of a device. Moreover, there can be a tremendous difference between models of an appliance. Because it’s difficult to shield oneself from magnetic fields, the only practical way to limit exposures is to put distance between oneself and the source.

Sage conducts sweeps of magnetic fields in her clients’ homes, offices, schools, and hospitals. She deploys electricians to fix any fields that run dramatically above the national norm. Usually, they trace to code violations that prove easy and inexpensive to fix. A 1996 report issued by the National Academy of Sciences concluded that while EMFs appear capable of affecting biological tissues, their link to cancer remains unproven. However, Sage argues that until or unless EMFs are exonerated, avoidance of them is a reasonable policy

Richard G. Stevens of the Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in Richland, Wash., emphatically disagrees, arguing that it’s premature to sweep homes or even to advocate prudent avoidance. That’s not because he believes EMFs are necessarily benign. Indeed, he is the father of the 10-year-old “melatonin hypothesis”, a theory that exposure to certain EMFs may trigger cancer, especially in the breast, by perturbing the body’s natural concentrations of this brain hormone.

He says that many questions remain about what types of fields and features of exposure-such as timing-underlie any risks. The problem with prudent avoidance is that it may make people less willing to act if the risks are later proved more circumscribed. Stevens doesn’t challenge the idea that fields can bring about potentially disturbing biological changes. Indeed, new studies describing such effects were presented 7 weeks ago at a U.S. Public Health Service conference he helped organize in Washington, D.C. The studies demonstrated a hitherto unrecognized responsiveness of cells, tissues, and animals - even humans.

Melatonin, a hormone produced by the brain during periods of darkness, is an important natural suppressor of breast cancer cell growth, both in test tubes and in animals. Stevens’ melatonin hypothesis holds that because EMFs can depress or shut down melatonin secretion in animals, they may play a role in fostering the growth of malignancies in people.

To test this hypothesis, toxicologist Wolfgang Loescher of the School of Veterinary Medicine in Hanover, Germany, has exposed groups of up to 120 female rats to melatonin-suppressing EMFs of between 100 and 1,000 mG. An equal number of rats received a negligible background exposure of roughly 1 mG; these rats produced melatonin normally. Loescher injected into each rat a chemical that causes mammary cancer, then observed the rats for 3 months.

Compared to the unexposed rats, those in the 100-mG field developed about 10 percent more tumors, animals exposed to 500 mG got 25 percent more, and rats receiving 1,000 mG developed 50 percent more. Tumors also grew as much as twice the size under the influence of EMFs. To understand why, Loescher has focused on the immune system’s T cells, a class of white blood cells whose role is to attack and destroy tumors and foreign substances. T cells from animals raised for 3 months in 500- or 1,000-mG fields proved only half as likely as those from unexposed rats to proliferate when exposed to a foreign substance. “This indicates that EMFs indeed suppress the immune system’s response to ongoing processes such as tumor growth,” Loescher says.

He has also analyzed rats’ production of the enzyme ornithine decarboxylase. This enzyme has to be present in large amounts for any cells to proliferate. “If the melatonin hypothesis were true, then when one exposes rats to EMFs, there should be an increase of this enzyme but only in the breast,” he says. That is exactly what he’s found in EMF studies that he has replicated several times. “To me,” he told SCIENCE NEWS, “this is the most convincing data that the melatonin hypothesis may be true.”

At the Lawrence Berkeley (Calif.) National Laboratory, Robert P. Liburdy has been probing the underpinnings of EMFs’ apparent cancer fostering effects in test-tube studies of malignant cells. He has found that 12-mG EMFs can suppress the ability of both melatonin and the hormone-emulating drug tamoxifen to shut down the growth of cancer cells. In a follow-up study that he described in July at a meeting in Bologna, Italy, the activity of another drug proved even more negatively affected by 12-mG fields. Both tamoxifen and this second drug, which goes by the unwieldy moniker ICI-182780, are synthetic estrogens. They have been designed to dock at a cell’s estrogen receptor and block it. In the breast, this can starve most cancer cells of the estrogen that normally spurs their growth. Unlike the ICI drug, which interacts only with the estrogen receptor, tamoxifen can alter the activity of other proteins. Magnetic fields proved more effective against the ICI drug, implying that they interfere with its binding to the estrogen receptor, Liburdy says. If they do, then the body’s natural estrogen should be affected similarly. Tests of that possibility are now under way. Liburdy’s studies suggest that “a new melatonin hypothesis is emerging,” argues Charles Graham, an experimental physiologist at the Midwest Research Institute (MRI) in Kansas City, Mo. The old hypothesis, Graham notes, focused on how much melatonin the body produced and circulated. While reasonable, it downplayed any relevance for humans because “we saw no decrease in melatonin” among people exposed to EMFs. If magnetic fields can make cells less sensitive to melatonin, as studies by Liburdy and others now indicate, then EMFs may yet pose a melatonin-mediated cancer threat, he says.

Graham’s own research indicates that magnetic fields can alter two other hormones that affect cancer risk — estrogen and testosterone. Compared to measurements taken in the presence of negligible background fields, overnight exposure of women to 200-mG EMFs in the laboratory significantly elevated estrogen; other studies have shown that elevated exposure to estrogen over many years can increase a woman’s breast cancer risk. In men, the EMFs reduced testosterone-a hormone drop that has been linked to testicular and prostate cancers, Graham’s most intriguing data come from experiments with what he terms intermittent EMFs. He and Mary R. Cook, also at MRI, began delivering pulsed exposures that cycle on for an hour and then off for an hour throughout the night. During each “on” cycle, the field switches on and off every 15 seconds. Not only do preliminary studies indicate that intermittent fields “really have an effect,” Graham observes, but they emulate real-world exposures, which can vary from second to second in frequency, intensity, and waveform, depending on their source and an individual’s distance from it.

In a 3-night study of 24 healthy young men, roughly one-third got steady 200 mG exposures on any given night. Another third received 200-mG fields intermittently, and the remainder slept in the presence of negligible background fields. At the Energy Department’s annual EMF Research Review Meeting in San Diego last November, Graham and Cook reported that the intermittent fields and only those fields-disturbed 6 of 10 measures of sleep quality. They not only contributed to broken sleep and shorter periods of deep, dream-stage sleep, they also led to more reports of feeling unrested in the morning.

In an upcoming report in BIOELECTROMAGNETICS, Graham’s team links those same intermittent fields to decreased heart rate variability in 77 college-age men. In healthy people, heart rate tends to vary somewhat from second to second in response to the body’s need to maintain blood pressure, temperature, and so on. Often, individuals with heart disease exhibit a more stable heart rate — -an indication, Graham says, “that their heart is no longer as well connected to the nervous system.”

While the young men that Graham studied exhibited normal heart rate variability during the nights they were exposed to background fields or constant EMFs, that variability diminished substantially on the night each was exposed to intermittent fields. Graham is planning follow-up studies to probe the long-term health implications of this provocative finding.

“What concerns me,” Graham says, is that the public “tends to get so worried about the magnitude of a field. The bigger it is, the worse it’s supposed to be.” In fact, Loescher has found that very high fields, as well as those below a certain strength, have little impact on tumor growth. Only those across a relatively narrow range consistently foster tumors and other negative health effects.

“We’ve seen the same thing in our studies,” Graham told SCIENCE NEWS. Moreover, he says, it’s beginning to appear that a field’s magnitude matters less than its intermittency or other features, such as power surges called electrical transients. These surges can pack a big burst of energy into a short period of time. They occur whenever lights or other electric devices turn on, when motors or compressors (such as those in refrigerators and air conditioners) cycle on, or when dimmer switches operate. “Being transient doesn’t mean they’re rare, just quick,” Graham notes. Transients are hard to avoid because they may stem from surges elsewhere-in a neighbor’s house or even power lines up the street.

Little research has been conducted to untangle the potential health impacts of EMF characteristics other than field strength, Graham notes, and money for such EMF studies is all but drying up. The two major federal programs dedicated to financing research on EMF effects on health are slated to shut down in October. A program funded by electric utilities through the Electric Power Research Institute will also end this year.

One should expect that “research on EMFs in the United States will take a big nose-dive,” says Graham. One ray of hope, Liburdy notes, comes from the recent proliferation of government funds for endocrine-disrupting pollutants. While magnetic fields are a type of radiation, they functionally resemble many environmental pollutants that mimic hormones. In fact, he observes, EMFs may actually fit the definition of an endocrine disrupter better than these chemicals do. That’s because magnetic fields appear to elicit their effects by acting on and through hormones, rather than as hormones.

Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia and Electromagnetic Fields: EMF & CLL

The Diagnosis
In the summer of 2001, at the age of 46, just before we celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary, my husband and I discovered that I had CLL, chronic lymphoctyic leukemia. Not happy news. The doctor downplayed it, said to think of it as more like diabetes than cancer. And they (doctors) probably think of it that way themselves. Only it’s not diabetes. You can’t control it with diet. I’ve tried, and the bugger still progresses. It is a disease that can be managed, not cured, short of an extremely risky bone marrow transplant. So far, I’ve become macrobiotic and organic, and I believe that helps. I’m now also looking into alternatives, such as green tea (didn’t work for me), low-dose naltrexone (seewww.lowdosenaltrexone.org) and laetrile (see www.worldwithoutcancer.org.uk).

It’s been six years, and I weigh less and generally feel better than I did prior to being diagnosed. I’m not one of those chirpy people who say that cancer is the best thing that ever happed to them. That takes positive thinking just a bit too far, in my way of thinking. Nothing I’ve gained from the diagnosis has been worth a tenth of the worry and grief it has caused. That said, I remain hopeful and happy and determined to stay well and live out a good life span.

Discovering High Electromagnetic Fields in Our Home
The true reason for this web site is that I want to alert others to what I believe to be the cause of my CLL. By 2003, two years after my diagnosis, we discovered that our house had significantly high levels of EMFs. Even when the power was shut off, the room where my husband and I slept for more than twenty years was hot. It had EMF readings 2 -3 times higher than what is considered to be safe. Most experts who agree to be pinned down, consider EMF levels to be “safe” until a reading of about 2mG. Our room was often somewhere around 4 or even 6mG. Since we’ve corrected our problem, readings are generally below 0.5mG. (An “mG” is a milligauss, the standard of measurement of electromagnetic fields.)

Not only our bedroom and bathroom, but the room adjacent to it (my former office where I’d spent six to eight waking hours, five days a week) also had very high readings. I was literally bathing in a known carcinogen day and night for two decades. No wonder I was ill. It was a disaster. My husband and I were devastated. We moved into another bedroom in the front of the house. We bought a sleeper sofa and slept there for the four months it took to rid our house of this problem. It wasn’t easy as you’ll soon see.

Editor’s note, for those who can’t play video, a description provided by Sam Stein at The Huffington Post:
In it, the minister implores Jesus to protect Palin from “the spirit of witchcraft.” Earlier, he states, “We need God taking over our education system. If we have God in our schools, we will not have our kids being taught how to worship Buddha, how to worship Muhammad. We will not have in the curriculum witchcraft and sorcery.” He also preaches, “The other area is the media. We need believers in the media. We need God taking over the media in our lives.”

Has Sarah Palin Been Picked as the Titular Head of the Coming Police State? | | AlterNet

Has Sarah Palin Been Picked as the Titular Head of the Coming Police State?
By Naomi Wolf, Huffington Post. Posted September 24, 2008.

Palin will help to establish a true and irreversible ‘fear society’ in
this once free once proud nation.

Please understand what you are looking at when you look at Sarah “Evita”
Palin. You are looking at the designated muse of the coming American
police state.

You have to understand how things work in a closing society in order to
understand “Palin Power.” A gang or cabal seizes power, usually with an
affable, weak figurehead at the fore. Then they will hold elections –
but they will make sure that the election will be corrupted and that the
next affable, weak figurehead is entirely in their control. Remember,
Russia has Presidents; Russia holds elections. Dictators and gangs of
thugs all over the world hold elections. It means nothing. When a cabal
has seized power you can have elections and even presidents, but you
don’t have freedom.

I realized early on with horror what I was seeing in Governor Palin: the
continuation of the Rove-Cheney cabal, but this time without restraints.
I heard her echo Bush 2000 soundbites (”the heart of America is on
display”) and realized Bush’s speechwriters were writing her — not
McCain’s — speeches. I heard her tell George Bush’s lies — not
McCain’s — to the American people, linking 9/11 to Iraq. I heard her
make fun of Barack Obama for wanting to prevent the torture of prisoners
– this is Rove-Cheney’s enthusiastic S and M, not McCain’s, who, though
he shamefully colluded in the 2006 Military Tribunals Act, is also a
former prisoner of war and wrote an eloquent Newsweek piece in 2005
opposing torture. I saw that she was even styled by the same skillful
stylist (neutral lipstick, matte makeup, dark colors) who turned
Katharine Harris from a mall rat into a stateswoman and who styles all
the women in the Bush orbit — but who does not bother to style Cindy
McCain.

Then I saw and heard more. Palin is embracing lawlessness in defying
Alaskan Legislature subpoenas — this is what Rove-Cheney, and not
McCain, believe in doing. She uses mafia tactics against critics, like
the police commissioner who was railroaded for opposing handguns in
Alaskan battered women’s shelters — Rove’s style, not McCain’s. I
realized what I was seeing.

Senate to Vote On Failed Bailout Package Wednesday 30 Sep 2008 Senate leaders have scheduled a vote for Wednesday on the $700 billion Wall Street rescue plan rejected by the House. Majority Leader Harry Reid and GOP Leader Mitch McConnell say, however, that they’re going to add a tax cut package [!] already rejected by the House on Monday.
The capitalist system has failed –Stocks plunge on Wall Street as bailout fails in Congress By Bill Van Auken 30 Sep 2008 The capitalist system has failed, and there is no reason to doubt the warnings from Bush, Paulson, Obama and others that it is preparing a social catastrophe… Whatever their tactical differences on the bailout, the answer of the Democrats and Republicans is clear: Working people must give up their jobs, living standards and social interests in order to rescue the financial parasites who created the disaster. The working class must put forward its own solution. The banks and major financial institutions which now threaten to drag down the economy and plunge millions into poverty must be nationalized, without compensation to their executives and big shareholders. These institutions should be transformed into public utilities, controlled democratically by the people, with their resources utilized not for the creation of profits for the rich, but rather for productive purposes, including the creation of jobs, a halt to foreclosures and evictions, the rebuilding of the social infrastructure and the funding of education, health care and other vitally needed social programs.
Exercise readies first units for NORTHCOM homeland assignment 29 Sep 2008 The sobering exercise scenario: a 10-kiloton nuclear device detonated in America’s heartland, quickly overwhelming civilian responders. “Vibrant Response” was a week-long command post exercise designed to train the commanders and staff of the nation’s dedicated force for responding to chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and high-yield explosive incidents, or CBRNE incidents. The units completed the exercise Sept. 18 at Fort Stewart, Ga., just two weeks before their force, the CBRNE Consequence Management Response Force, or CCMRF, will be assigned to U.S. Northern Command to begin its mission… The 1st Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division forms the core of Task Force Operations, one of the three functional task forces within CCMRF. It’s the first infantry brigade to be assigned to NORTHCOM for a year in order to respond quickly to civil-support missions.
Gates predicts no sharp cuts in US defense budgets 29 Sep 2008 Defense Secretary Robert Gates predicted on Monday that growth in U.S. military spending would level off in the coming years but not face severe cutbacks, despite the current economic crisis. President [sic] George W. Bush submitted a base defense budget of more than $500 billion for the fiscal year that begins next month. The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are costing some $160 billion a year on top of that. [Gee, almost $700 billion - they could have bailed out Wall Street but instead continue to give billion dollar bl*jobs to KBR and Blackwater.]
Army probes soldiers’ chemical exposure by KBR 29 Sep 2008 Army Secretary Pete Geren has agreed to investigate whether Indiana National Guardsmen were exposed to a carcinogen while protecting an Iraqi water pumping plant shortly after the U.S. invasion in 2003. A review panel appointed by Geren also will look at whether the Army’s oversight of a private contractor [AP buried the name of the contractor, KBR, in paragraph *nine.*] that operated the Iraq water plant was sufficient and whether the military’s medical screenings of soldiers were adequate… Although the toxic exposure happened five years ago, Indiana Adjutant Gen. R. Martin Umbarger was not notified of it until June, in a phone call from U.S. Sen. Byron Dorgan, a Democrat from North Dakota.
Pentagon’s new Africa command raises suspicions about U.S. motives 29 Sep 2008 The U.S. Africa Command, the Pentagon’s first effort to unite itscounterterrorism, training and humanitarian operations on the continent, launches Wednesday amid questions at home about its mission and deep suspicions in Africa about its intentions. U.S. officials have billed the new command, known as Africom, as a sign of Africa’s strategic importance, but many in Africa see it as an unwelcome expansion of the U.S.-led war on [of] terrorism and a bid to secure greater access to the continent’s vast oil resources. Several countries have refused to host the command, and officials say Africom will be based in Stuttgart, Germany, for the foreseeable future.
Air Force says officer stole launch control device 29 Sep 2008 A Minot Air Force Base officer accused of stealing a classified missile launch control device faces a hearing to determine whether he will face a court martial. The Air Force said a hearing is scheduled Tuesday at the base to evaluate evidence against Capt. Paul Borowiecki, a missile combat crew member assigned to the 91st Missile Wing. [See: Minot AFB Clandestine Nukes ‘Oddities’.]

Palin: ‘Only Flag in My Office’ Is Israeli 26 Sep 2008 President Peres of Israel yesterday met for the first time with Governor Palin and with Senator McCain, who called the veteran Israeli statesman “my old friend.” The warm handshake… occurred during an international gathering known as the Clinton Global Initiative. “I wanted to meet you for many years,” Ms. Palin told Mr. Peres, according to an aide to the president. “The only flag at my office is an Israeli flag,” she was quoted as saying, “and I want you to know and I want Israelis to know that I am a friend.”
U.S. stocks bounce back after Monday’s plunge –Indexes positioned for steep declines in crisis-riddled month of September 30 Sep 2008 U.S. stock indexes on Tuesday blasted back from the prior session’s historic rout, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average chalking up its third-biggest point gain on optimism that a rescue plan would make a comeback in coming days on Capitol Hill.
Bush Administration Adds $4 Trillion to National Debt 29 Sep 2008 With no fanfare and little notice, the national debt has grown by more than $4 trillion during George W. Bush’s presidency. It’s the biggest increase under any president in U.S history. On the day President [sic] Bush took office, the national debt stood at $5.727 trillion. The latest number from the Treasury Department shows the national debt now stands at more than $9.849 trillion. That’s a 71.9 percent increase on Mr. Bush’s watch.
Fed Pumps Further $630 Billion Into Financial System 29 Sep 2008 The Federal Reserve will pump an additional $630 billion into the global financial system, flooding banks with cash to alleviate the worst banking crisis since the Great Depression. The Fed increased its existing currency swaps with foreign central banks by $330 billion to $620 billion to make more dollars available worldwide. The Term Auction Facility, the Fed’s emergency loan program, will expand by $300 billion to $450 billion. The European Central Bank, the Bank of England and the Bank of Japan are among the participating authorities.
House limits constituent e-mails to prevent crash 30 Sep 2008 The House is limiting e-mails from the public to prevent its websites from crashing due to the enormous amount of mail being submitted on the financial bailout bill. As a result, some constituents may get a ‘try back at a later time’ response if they use the House website to e-mail their lawmakers about the bill defeated in the House on Monday in a 205-228 vote.
Those who remember the Depression fear its return 30 Sep 2008 “I’m afraid if the next depression that hits is like the one in the ’30s, we would not long have a democracy,” says Turner Hinkle… At 91, she is plagued by arthritis of the spine. She is proud of her two sons, one who became a stockbroker, one who became a doctor. But a woman who was never afraid during the Depression is afraid now. She is afraid for her great grandchildren and for the world they have been born into.
Bill would limit Homeland Security laptop searches 30 Sep 2008 The Homeland Security Department has declared its right to seize laptops at the U.S. border indefinitely, but legislation introduced Thursday is intended to curb that power. U.S. Senators Russ Feingold, D-Wis., Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., and U.S. House Representative Adam Smith, D-Wash., introduced the Travelers Privacy Protection Act in response to the DHS policy allowing customs agents to detain a traveler’s laptop for an unspecified period of time to review its contents, even absent of individualized suspicion.
Police Union Shirt Pokes Fun At DNC Protesters –Denver Officers Given T-Shirt to Commemorate Event 26 Sep 2008 The Denver police union is selling T-shirts that poke fun at protesters at last month’s Democratic National Convention, but the main target isn’t laughing. The back of the shirts reads, “We get up early to beat the crowds” and “2008 DNC,” and has a caricature of a police officer holding a baton. The front has the number 68 with a slash through it, a reference to the Recreate 68 Coalition, which organized several demonstrations during the convention.
The methane time bomb –Arctic scientists discover new global warming threat as melting permafrost releases millions of tons of a gas 20 times more damaging than carbon dioxide 23 Sep 2008 The first evidence that millions of tons of a greenhouse gas 20 times more potent than carbon dioxide is being released into the atmosphere from beneath the Arctic seabed has been discovered by scientists. The Independent has been passed details of preliminary findings suggesting that massive deposits of sub-sea methane are bubbling to the surface as the Arctic region becomes warmer and its ice retreats.

US bailout fuels protests in streets, online 28 Sep 2008 Even as lawmakers laboured to break the impasse on Bush administration’s $700 billion plan to rescue giant Wall Street firms to solve the financial crisis, the bailout has spontaneously inspired street protests in the US and outrage gone viral across the web. Protesters argue that they would want the Congress to protect millions of ordinary American citizens on the verge of losing their homes due to poor lending practices of creditors instead of handing out public money to big investment companies responsible for ruining the economy in the first place.
Wall Street Executives Made $3 Billion Before Crisis 26 Sep 2008 Wall Street’s five biggest firms paid more than $3 billion in the last five years to their top executives, while they presided over the packaging and sale of loans that helped bring down the investment-banking system. Merrill Lynch & Co. paid its chief executives the most, with Stanley O’Neal taking in$172 million from 2003 to 2007 and John Thain getting $86 million, including a signing bonus, after beginning work in December. Bear Stearns Cos.’s James “Jimmy” Cayne made$161 million before the company collapsed and was sold to JPMorgan Chase & Co. in June. [If you’re not outraged, you’re not paying attention.]

Anthrax suspect said he solved case 25 Sep 2008 Suspected Framed Washington anthrax killer Bruce Ivins claimed to have solved the case in an e-mail message to himself, newly released court documents say. “I finally know who mailed the anthrax letters in the fall of 2001. I should have been a private eye,” Ivins said in a message sent last September. After learning that FBI scientists had traced the bacteria to his laboratory, Ivins, a government bioweapons researcher, suggested to agents several other scientists who he said might be guilty, the documents say.
Anthrax Links to 9-11 By Barbara Honegger 25 Sep 2008 Superweaponizing anthrax was one of Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld’s top priorities. Two days before 9/11, on Sept. 9, the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) held a rare press conference in which it revealed that on his first day as Secretary of Defense, Rumsfeld ordered the DIA to take Project Jefferson, a secret and illegal anthrax weaponization program (probably using the Ames strain contained in the anthrax letters) to the next level of lethality and that it had achieved ’success’ earlier that month in a classified field test. The mainstream press reported this event on Sept. 10.

Obama’s Presidency Could Galvanize 30 Million American Idealists and 
Reformers, and a Personal Memory of Paul Newman

by Stephen Fox    

As introduction, I must say that Paul Newman’s passing has saddened me 
profoundly, not because of any of his movies, but because of a personal 
memory which stirs up in me now, as I write this, a few profound thoughts 
from the political and governmental realms. 

In the late 70’s, Jimmy Carter appointed Paul Newman as a Personal 
Representative or Goodwill Ambassador to the United Nations. I was 
privileged to attend the United Nations First Special Session on 
Disarmament, and in a thrilling moment on the General Assembly floor between 
speeches, I met and talked with Newman for about ten minutes about my view 
that the Special Session was like Theater of the Absurd at the peak of the 
Arms Race, in which Nations sent their Ambassadors and Foreign Ministers to 
give speeches decrying the buildup of nuclear arsenals, and the big guys, 
the Superpowers, would make minute carefully calibrated offers to deescalate 
a tiny bit here or step one infinitesimal step back from the brink there, in 
an elaborate charade reminiscent of Japanese Noh theatre, lots of gestures 
and rehearsed protocol, but no words, just like at the UN at such a 
conference, there would ultimately be no real progress. 

Paul Newman listened, said a few things, then agreed, and added this: “WE 
HAVE TO KEEP TRYING.” 

My condolences go to his daughter, Nell, with whom he developed  Newman’s 
Own, starting with Italian Tomato Sauces made with all organic ingredients, 
moving on to, among other products, one of the best selections of organic 
dog foods on the American market, plus snacks like organic chips. Everytime 
I shop for groceries, I see Paul and Nell on the labels of their products, 
dressed up like the Iowa Dentist and the Artist’s sister Nan, from Grant 
Wood’s American Gothic, and I recall my brief conversation with Paul on the 
floor of the UN General Assembly.

Among the conversations with luminaries I met back then at that UN Special 
Session, Newman’s words, plus those of Pierre Trudeau, Canada’s Prime 
Minister, as well as Pete Seeger, were what stuck with me the most over the 
past 30 years, because each of them took the time to share an extended and 
profound dialogue with me.

Carter’s Presidency was in retrospect a time of great idealism, coming on 
the heels of the Nixon/Ford years. Jimmy has ripened into even more of a 
sterling idealist and humanitarian than he was back then; my friend from 
Redlands High School in California, James Fallows,  was his Chief 
Speechwriter, starting at the young age of 27, and is now National 
Correspondent for Atlantic Monthly and author of the best book I know of on 
the US in Iraq: BLIND INTO BAGHDAD.

Idealism does blossom on the vine, off and on, depending on who is in power 
and the general Climate of Opinion, and the Zeitgeist, as Historians like to 
call it. Idealism also can dry up, wither, and seem to die. Every American 
knows that our Nation’s idealism and capacity for reform have taken side-by-
side back row seats during the past 8 years in these United States, maybe 
even much longer, and both Idealism and Reform have even taken frequent 
beatings out behind the Neocon woodshed. 

These guys have basically succeeded in turning over the functioning of 
government to corporate power; the Religious Right was just a backdrop, a 
kind of smoke and mirrors, a superficial philosophical facade and 
ideological skirmishing compared to what was really going on vis-a-vis the  
massing of corporate power throughout all phases and branches of government, 
especially in the regulatory realms.

I am not an economist, nor was meant to be, so all I will say here about the 
proposed Wall Street Bailout is that it seems an enormous fraud to me, 
perhaps the largest in American history. I can’t and won’t even try to 
venture any pontification in any macroeconomic discussion, except to 
reiterate my long held view that Government Economics is not rocket science 
at all, and that clarity must be accessible the majority of Americans, since 
we are being asked to pay for this Bailout.

In Northern New Mexico, farmers have constructed centuries-old irrigation 
ditches, directed by the majordomos of each small village, most of whom I 
would more trust with the flow of government monies than a lot of these guys 
in Washington. 

Historically, these “ditch masters” controlled the indispensable vital flow 
of water to the various fields as a kind of bequest allowing the farmers to 
survive. In Spanish, this is called the “mother ditch,” or Acequia Madre, 
and the ditch master is called the Majordomo. He is far more important to 
his village and ultimately deserves much more trust than any of the elected 
officials like the Alcalde, or Mayor. 

The government sponsored economic fields which have been watered so 
generously by Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld since 2000 have been those of Military, 
Security, Weapons, “Defense,” Blackwater, Kellogg Brown and Root, and (we 
can’t forget Cheney’s fiscal backyard) Halliburton! 

What were the fields that didn’t get watered?  Oh, just about everything 
else: Education, Inner Cities, Scientific and Medical Research, Stem Cell 
Research (and I don’t mean the kind of Stem Cell Research that depends on 
destroying fetuses), Agriculture, Infrastructure basics like highway repair, 
Alternative Energy, Sustainability—-you name it, just about everything 
else.

This means that most of the Bushite cronies after January 2009 will retire 
obscenely rich with their ill-gotten gains, and this wholesale theft is 
leading to a culmination in the Wall Street Bailout, largely blessed as 
sanctimonious by the Religious Right. Suffice it to say that seven members 
in total of the G-8’s Finance Ministers have all unanimously rejected any 
kind of Bailout for their nation as either unnecessary, or as fiscally 
stupid and/or dangerous.
______________________________________________
Leaving Economic discussions aside, I have been perenially much more focused 
deep down on Consumer Protection and Reform of the FDA, because real 
consumer protection could prevent so many needless and early deaths. 

When (or must I say “if”?) Obama wins, he will appoint a new FDA 
Commissioner, who will oversee the 25% of the US Economy that is either 
drugs or food. The present Commissioner, Andrew Von Eschenbach, M.D. 
Urology, will pack up and head back to Houston, I am guessing, to the 
Anderson Cancer Center where he was head honcho before his current 
appointment, or maybe he has lined up a far better paying bunch of corporate 
boards to “serve” on; after all, he has been such a good boy to all of the 
Big Pharma corporations. 

Since Andy is a cancer survivor himself, I initially held high hopes 
that he could and would do something about the massive amount of carcinogens 
added by industry to our foods, like Aspartame, the neurotoxic and 
carcinogenic artificial sweetener added to 8000 products.

In 2006 and in 2007, I had endless battles with lobbyists and corporate 
hired guns in the New Mexico Legislature over a bill I created to ban it for 
New Mexico, sponsored by the Honorable Gerald Ortiz y Pino, easily the most 
progressive member of the New Mexico Senate. The lobbyists went all out and 
ganged up to try to eviscerate the bill, then finally strangled the bill in 
committee. These lobbyists represented Ajinomoto of Japan, the world’s 
largest manufacturer of both aspartame and of Monosodium Glutamate, as well 
as their predictable American cronies, Coca Cola, Pepsi, plus an assortment 
of Retail Grocers, Grocery Manufacturers of America, and the American 
Diabetic Association, which still perpetuates the ludicrous corporate 
sponsoredmythology that if your pancreas is not making enough insulin and 
you have diabetes, you should be substituting sugar with something that 
turns to formaldehyde and methanol.

21 of the 112 New Mexico Legislators signed two letters addressed to Dr. Von 
Eschenbach and to Bush asking them to order that Aspartame’s FDA approval be 
rescinded, on the grounds of its carcinogenicity. (Even Nixon rescinded 
approval for cyclamates on the same grounds, largely at the behest of 
Washington consumer advocate lawyer and Nader Raider Jim Turner, plus a few 
pediatricians and oncologists). 

Sadly, all Andy did was reply to the 21 New Mexico legislators with more 
predictable corporate pleasantries about the 200 (industry-paid for 
studies “proving” aspartame as safe. He and the rest of the FDA chose to 
ignore the Sofritti Studies done by the European Foundation for Oncology’s 
work proving aspartame was causing all kinds of cancers, also called the 
Ramazzini report, after the name of the Foundation. 

When you as a mere American consumer write to the FDA about aspartame or the 
92 symptoms from its list of attributed symptoms derived from actual 
consumer complaints, you rarely get any kind of response, unless it is one 
of those form letters about how safe it is, which refers you to some 
industry-paid-for pro-aspartame website….

Last year, I said let’s try this in Hawaii, since Hawaiian consumer 
activists were trying to get help with their aspartame banning effort in 
Hawaii and asking me how to do it. The ban bill failed in the Health 
Committee when Hawaii Senator David Ige deferred action. Hawaii Senator Ron 
Menor said in committee that what they should do is create a Resolution, 
which I then wrote with Dr. Betty Martini over one very intense long 
weekend. 

That was Senate Concurrent Resolution 191 from 2008, which you can easily 
read on the Hawaii Legislature website; certainly, no legislative body has 
ever considered a document more complete and more damning on the subject of 
Aspartame than this Resolution.

Then, happily, unbeknownst to the lobbyists and the corpporations involved, 
44% of the Hawaii Senate, including 9 Committee Chairs and Vice Chairs,  
signed the Resolution sponsored by the Honorable Suzanne Chun Oakland. Then, 
one of the other Senators, a lady from Maui, a powerful ex-lobbyist herself, 
Chair of the Senate Ways and Means Committee, leaned on the Health Committee 
Chairman, Senator David Ige (Ige had even signed as cosponsor), telling him 
we were just spouting “Internet Junk Science,” and lo and behold, the 
Resolution never even got a hearing in Hawaii’s Senate Health Committee.

Can you see how it is that corporate lobbyists are the scourge, to be 
polite, of Democracy?

Both Senators have graciously agreed to try again, so the lobbyists will be 
back in full force, even louder this year, I am sure, saying that such a ban 
is unnecessary, since Aspartame is SO SAFE, and that it would have to come 
from FDA itself, that we can’t have any balkanized breakup of authority and 
such a blatant challenge to certain corporate-sponsored and corporate-
serving myths of “federal pre-emption” by the FDA.

Aspartame has killed millions, and is literally making hundreds of millions 
people sick all over the world. I hope you put down your Diet Coke or 
removed the Sugarless Wrigley’s gum long ago, or at least for a few minutes, 
in order to read this article with a little more of an open mind and a bit  
more of that ancient now-disappearing human instinct for survival.

One of my best colleagues in the aspartame effort, Dr. Betty Martini, 
D.Hum., Founder of Mission Possible International, has bumped Obama out of 
her electoral vote on this issue, after she learned that twenty years ago he 
either worked for Sidley and Austin or met his wife there because she worked 
for Sidley and Austin, the lawyers for Monsanto, then the patent 
holder for Aspartame. 

(Monsanto bought those patents from G.D. Searle, the CEO of which in 1981, a 
Mr. Donald Rumsfeld, forced the approval for Aspartame through the FDA, 
despite 15 prior years of it being rejected. To spare you the grim details, 
just google and read RUMSFELD’S BIOWEAPON LEGACY) 

Today, the Japanese giant, Ajinomoto owns these patents and makes most of 
the world’s aspartame in Japan, France, and Georgia, USA. The Georgia 
factory sends tankers full of aspartame to their biggest client, Coca Cola, 
with workers wearing Hazardous Materials suits, etc. China makes a lot of 
Aspartame too, but those details are somewhat obscured behind the Red 
Curtain, so to speak.

Because of the lobbyist/harlots working for these companies and all of the 
industry fronts and associations of grocers and soft drink bottlers, my sole 
real hope after January 2009, lies with the FDA’s NEXT commissioner, which I 
implore must be a true consumer protectionist, instead of the corporate 
lackeys and apologists we have had, who just rubber stamp ultimately 
whatever Industries like Big Pharma and Big Junk Food want, or whatever they 
want to keep making money with, the public’s health be damned.

Images from Clark C. McClelland’s updated background link below.
http://www.stargate-chronicles.com/background.html

In SUPPORT of MY FRIEND, Courageous, US NASA ASTRONAUT, Edgar Mitchell, Apollo 14!

I, Clark C. McClelland, former ScO, Space Shuttle Fleet, personally observed an 8 to 9 foot tall ET on my 27 inch video monitors while on duty in the Kennedy Space Center, Launch Control Center (LCC). The ET was standing upright in the Space Shuttle Payload Bay having a discussion with TWO tethered US NASA Astronauts. I also observed on my monitors, the spacecraft of the ET as it was in a stabilized, safe orbit to the rear of the Space Shuttle main engine pods. I observed this incident for about one minute and seven seconds. Plenty of time to memorize all that I was observing. IT WAS AN ET and Alien Star Ship!
To all who have faith in ME, I present you with this artists concept of what I saw many years ago at KSC.

It was a tall creature, about 8 to 9 feet tall. It had a humanoid body shape with two arms, two hands, two legs, two feet, a slim torso and a normal size head for its size. The color of its skin I could not determine. It appeared to have two what appeared to be eyes, but it was not detailed enough for any other comments.

How did it communicate? I have no idea. It did move its arms a lot….

continued at link — http://www.stargate-chronicles.com/home.html

NOTE:
Most of you are not aware that my Space Program Retirement was denied to me. I was told by several KSC high management people to not take a legal action, and that they were working to have my job returned to me with back pay! Yes, sure! Thanks to the Legal Gods that I found an attorney who would give me a free consultation. He told me that I had a fixed time limit to file an action against those responsible. My attorney called me and said, your time is running out. It had about two weeks still allowed for filing a legal action. I informed him that he could file that action after I called KSC to see if they had accomplished any action for my return. None of those management people would talk with me. They were hoping my time would run out. People I had worked with, were cowards! My attorney and I had several meetings with their legal group from Miami. They offered me peanuts to accept their “final” offer! I advised them that I would write several books to disclose my astounding experiences at Cape Canaveral and the KSC! I refused the offer. It went to the criminal court system we have been educated to trust! The initial court hearing refused my attempt to have a court trial with my peers as the jurors. I believe they realized that with my personal experiences of lecturing at many universities, that I would no doubt win my case! So, they denied me my Constitutional Rights. My attorney said that he could have it transferred to the Federal Court in Atlanta, GA. He said it was one step from the Supreme Court in Washington DC. He required more money! Of course, what else would anyone expect to hear from a lawyer? I borrowed money from my beloved and not-to-well-off wonderful parents. The attorney took my case to Atlanta. It languished there for a couple of years! My attorney was summoned to Atlanta. He returned to tell me that once again, I had been denied my Constitutional Rights! They would not allow my case to be heard! I was and still am very broke! I lost the money I had, lost my family, my son, died at age 19, my wife divorced me, I lost our home, I was not able to find a job paying over $4.25 Hour, My beloved parents were devastated. That and much, much more. I am asking those that are rich, famous, like Rock Stars, Movie Stars, Bill Gates, all who have enough money to last for ten life times, PLEASE HELP ME! I am doing this FOR YOU, the Human Race! I am standing ALONE, so FAR. Are any of you courageous enough to assist me? If not, then my astonishing books may never be read.

Negotiations With ET?
How Will We Negotiate With ET?
By Ed Komarek
7/27/08
Copy and Distribute Freely
My blog: http://exopolitics.blogspot.com/

I would like to initiate an open discussion as to how open negotiations between earth society and benevolent extraterrestrial races might proceed post-disclosure. What I hope will happen is that others may become involved who have some knowledge of this either in the public or classified world and together we can wrap our collective minds around this issue. I would not be surprised if negotiations might include both sanctions and incentives similar to how we handle things on earth so as to induce earth society to cooperate with universe society and not threaten the peace and security of the rest of the cosmic neighborhood.

I realize that many people have enough trouble accepting the testimony of high level whistle blowers like Astronaut Edgar Mitchell that we are being visited by extraterrestrials and even question the huge amount of documentation available. http://dsc.discovery.com/space/qa/alien-ufo-edgar-mitchell.html Most people simply don’t understand that they have been severely deceived and brainwashed by the 60 year old UFO/ET cover-up and are going to think that speculation about negotiations with aliens is way over the top. Be that as it may I believe it is important that we move forward on such speculation.

“Gospel of Judas” Irrelevant in Light of Even More Startling Ancient Text

Written 100 years earlier – by Judas – little known Aramaic document is found to be actual source of Book of Matthew, and to have preceded the other Gospels

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) April 10, 2006 — Recent interest in the newly discovered gnostic writing “Gospel of Judas” is now drawing attention to a much more controversial, 1,900 year-old, document that was discovered in Jerusalem in 1963, translated into German by 1970, and first published in Switzerland in 1978, with English versions appearing since 1992.

Known as the Talmud of Jmmanuel (the “J” symbol is pronounced with the short “i” sound as in Immanuel), the TJ, as it is called, shares one feature with the Gospel of Judas – Judas Iscariot was no betrayer. Instead, he was the trusted writer of the TJ. The TJ is much more comprehensive than the Gospel of Judas, while indicating that the man we know as Jesus was originally named Jmmanuel, that he survived the crucifixion and then traveled through several countries with his mother Mary, his brother Judas-Thomas and Judas Iscariot, that Mary died while on their trek to northern India and was buried in Pakistan, that Jmmanuel married and had numerous descendants, and that he died at over 100 years of age and was buried near Srinagar, Kashmir. http://www.tjresearch.info/discovery.htm

World’s oldest joke traced back to 1900 BC | Oddly Enough | Reuters

http://www.reuters.com/article/oddlyEnoughNews/idUSKUA14785120080731?f

LONDON (Reuters) - The world’s oldest recorded joke has been traced back to 1900 BC and suggests toilet humor was as popular with the ancients as it is today.

It is a saying of the Sumerians, who lived in what is now southern Iraq and goes: “Something which has never occurred since time immemorial; a young woman did not fart in her husband’s lap.”

It heads the world’s oldest top 10 joke list published by the University of Wolverhampton Thursday.

A 1600 BC gag about a pharaoh, said to be King Snofru, comes second — “How do you entertain a bored pharaoh? You sail a boatload of young women dressed only in fishing nets down the Nile and urge the pharaoh to go catch a fish.”

Las Vegas Now | I-Team: New UFO Mystery Surfaces
I-Team: New UFO Mystery Surfaces
A large object with a turquoise hue plummeted out of the sky earlier this summer and plowed into the earth south of Las Vegas near Needles, California.

Eyewitnesses say this was no meteorite, especially since a bunch of helicopters came looking for it and then hauled it away.

The object was seen in the early morning hours of May 14. It appeared to crash into the ground just west of the Colorado River. And that’s when things got interesting for residents of the area.

Somewhere in the rough terrain just west of the Colorado River and south of Needles is a point of impact, maybe some burn marks, created by something that fell from the sky. Frank Costigan saw it because he got up at 3 a.m. to let his cat out — a fiery object that flashed across the sky, but it wasn’t a meteor he says.

“It was bright, bright enough that it illuminated the ground,” he said.

For seven years, Costigan worked as the chief of airport security at L.A.X. He says the mystery object flew out of the north east, heading southwest, traveling very fast, but at one point it slowed down, then sped up again.

“It went behind a hill, and I waited to see if I could hear it crash because as big as it was, it was bound to make noise,” he said.

The Bible is Myth?!
In November 2008, PBS will air a TV special claiming that the biblical patriarch Abraham and his wife, Sarah, were not historical persons but were “myths.” The documentary will also declare the fabulous Israelite Exodus to be mythical, rather than representing a miraculous “historical” event.
To readers of my work posted online since 1995, and encapsulated in my books, beginning with The Christ Conspiracy, all of this cage-rattling will be old hat. In that book, I laid out the case that Abraham and Sarah are remakes of the Indian deities Brahma and Sarasvati, while Moses is likewise a mythical character based on older gods. In Christ Con, I also show that the Exodus represents not a supernatural event that truly happened on Earth but for which absolutely no evidence has been found. Rather, it too falls in the realm of mythology.
As this article about the PBS documentary relates, the evidence does indeed show that the Bible was composed during and after the so-called Babylonian Captivity of the 6th century BCE. Certain parts of it are older, of course, as some of the most fantastic stories could undoubtedly be found in the libraries in Babylon and Egypt. As I also demonstrated in The Christ Conspiracy almost 10 years ago, the Bible was not composed by the individuals claimed to be its authors, neither the Old Testament nor the New.

Holy Moses! PBS documentary suggests Exodus not real
Hal Boedeker | Sentinel Television Critic
July 21, 2008

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. - Abraham didn’t exist? The Exodus didn’t happen?
The Bible’s Buried Secrets, a new PBS documentary, is likely to cause a furor.
“It challenges the Bible’s stories if you want to read them literally, and that will disturb many people,” says archaeologist William Dever, who specializes in Israel’s history. “But it explains how and why these stories ever came to be told in the first place, and how and why they were written down.”
The Nova program will premiere Nov. 18. PBS presented a clip and a panel discussion at the summer tour of the Television Critics Association.
The program says the Bible was written in the sixth century BC and that hundreds of authors contributed.
“At least the first five books of the Bible come together during the Babylonian exile,” says producer Gary Glassman.
The program challenges long-held beliefs. Abraham, Sarah and their offspring probably didn’t exist, says Carol Meyers, a religion professor at Duke University.
“These stories are unlikely to represent real historical events, but rather there’s some kernel of ancient experience in there which has survived and which helps give identity to the people at the time the Bible finally took shape centuries and centuries later,” Meyers says.

Oldest New Testament Out of Egypt into Cyberspace
In a move reflective of the power of technology, the oldest New Testament Bible will be placed online for all the world to examine. Of course, this is great news for students of Bible manuscripts. One fascinating fact about this archaeological gem is its origin in Egypt.
The New Testament manuscript in question is the Codex Sinaiticus, distinguished from earlier manuscripts by virtue of its completeness, containing all the canonical texts along with the Epistle of Barnabas and the Shepherd of Hermas, the former of which has been shown to have a provenance of Alexandria, Egypt. Along with the Codex Vaticanus, the CS is the oldest intact manuscript, dating to around 350 AD/CE.
Importantly, the Codex Sinaiticus was discovered and evidently written in Egypt, a locale vastly overlooked in studies of Christian origins. It is my contention, in fact, that without factoring in Egyptian religion and mythology, the study of Christian origins will always be incomplete and faulty, because it is unquestionably out of Egypt that Christ was called, so to speak, as a mythical rehash largely of the Egyptian gods Osiris and Horus.
“Out of Egypt have I called my son.”
–The Gospel of Matthew (2:15)
In reality, the Sinai Peninsula, where this text was found in the oldest Christian monastery, St. Catherine’s, was the only established land route to Israel, possessing numerous important Egyptian sites, including a massive fortress and temple to Horus at Tharo/Tharu. In this location, countless thousands of travelers passed between the two nations over a period of several millennia. Indeed, much interchange between cultures occurred in this very region. It is no wonder, therefore, that this site would be a sacred hot spot for the establishment of what turns out to be a Jewish-Egyptian hybrid, i.e., Christianity.
In my forthcoming book Christ in Egypt: The Horus-Jesus Connection, I demonstrate the correspondences between the Egyptian and Christian religions in well-documented detail, using primary source material as well as the works of highly credentialed scholars in relevant fields. Those who are interested in a preview of my book Christ in Egypt may wish to read my “Companion Guide to ZEITGEIST, Part 1,” which contains a number of chapters from CIE.

30 mins before the 2008 Sichuan earthquake in China
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKMTSDzU1Z4

Bizarre colorful (luminous/glowing) cloud phenomenon in the sky was observed about 30 mins before the May 12, 2008 Sichuan earthquake took place. This was recorded in Tianshui, Gansu province ~450km northeast of epicenter, by someone using a cell phone.
source: http://news.qq.com/a/20080513/004283.htm

See similar cloud formation captured 20 minutes later in a different city, ~200km east of this location:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzVamNQzfYA

More photos taken, reported 1 hr before the quake.:
http://shenyun.epochtimes.com/b5/8/5/14/n2116538.htm

These clouds seemed to be glowing or somewhat luminous and seemed to resemble some characteristics of the Auroras. I am not sure exactly what they were or whether they indeed had anything to do with the quake. I am no expert anyways. See if any scientists are willing to give a full explanation.

If such phenomenon can be proved for its connection with earthquake occurrences, maybe they could be used as warning signs and would be life saving. If not, just learn these clouds as yet another rare atmospheric phenomenon and no need to panic when seeing them.

After all, this might well be just a rare atmospheric phenomenon occurred by coincidence. Though, just wondering if there’s any possibility the formation of such rare clouds be catalyzed by any event??

Blue Beam Project

A Simulated “Second Coming” and the Reemergence of New “MONTAUK” Type Projects

What is the Blue Beam Project?
by David Openheimer
zianet@interserv.com

It involves two things. A technologically simulated “second coming” and the reemmrgence of new “MONTAUK” type projects that have the ability to take up a whole bunch of people as in a “rapture” type of situation and whisk the whole bunch into never-never land. Ironically, portions of the holographic projections have the potential for changing the planet into oneness with God. Unfortunately, this operates on the premise that Man shall somehow become God in human form and control other Men and dictate all actions and thoughts. The calculated resistance to the new religion, the New World Order and the new “Messiah” will entail human loss on a massive scale in the ensuing “holy wars”.The “BLUE BEAM PROJECT” will pretend to be the universal fulfillment of the prophecies of old; as major an event as that which took place 2000 years ago. In principle, it will make use of the sky as a holographic projection screen for space-based laser-generating satellites (star wars). These projectors will project simultaneous images to the four corners of the planet, in every language by region. It deals with the religious aspect of the NEW WORLD ORDER.

The “system” has already been tested. Holographic projections of the “CHRIST IMAGE” have already been seen in some remote desert areas. These have only been reported in tabloid papers, so they are instantly rendered moot. They can also project images of alien craft, aliens, monsters, angels - you name it. Computers will coordinate the satellites and software will run the show-and-tell.

Hollography is based on very nearly identical signals combining to produce and image, or hologram, with depth perception. This is equally applicable to acoustic (ELF,VLF,LF) waves as it is to optical phenomena.

Specifically, the “show” will consist of laser projections of multiple holographic images to different parts of the planet, each receiving different images according to the predominating regional religious faith. Not a single area will be excluded. With computer animation and sound effects appearing to come from the depths of space, astonished followers of the various creeds will witness their own returned Messiah in spectacularly convincing lifelike realness.

The various images of Christ, Mohammed, Buddha, Krishna, etc., will merge into ONE after “correct explanation” of the mysteries, prophecies and revelations are disclosed. This “ONE GOD” will in fact function as the “Anti-Christ”, who will “explain” that the various scriptures “have been misunderstood”- that the religious of old are responsible for turning brother against brother, nation against nation - that the religions of the world must be abolished to make way for the GOLDEN AGE (NEW AGE) of the One World Religion, representing the One God they see before them.

Naturally, this superbly staged, full-scale production will result in social and religious disorder on a massive scale. Wonder what the television transmitters of religious networks will be doing on that day ?

But before all this, they have to go through four different steps in order to get to Project Blue Beam.

1: The first step concerns the breakdown of all archaological knowledge. It deals with staging earthquakes at certain precise locations around the planet where supposed new “discoveries” will finally explain (for them) that the meanings of the basic doctrines of all the world`s major religions are “wrong.” This falsification will be used to make the population believe that all religious doctrine has been misunderstood and misinterpreted. The falsification started with the film 2001: A Space Odessy, the TV-series STAR TREK, the STAR WARS films, E.T., all of which deal with space “invasion” and “protection”. JURASSIC PARK, was to push the theory of evolution.

2: The second step deals with the gigantic space show: 3D optical holograms and sounds, laser projections of multiple holographic images in different parts of the world, each receiving a different image, according to its predetermined original national religious faith. This new “god” image will talk in all languages. As an exemple, the Soviets have manufactured the advanced computers and have programmed them with the minute psychological particles based upon their studies of the anatomy and biology of the human body, as well as their studies on the anatomy, chemistry and electricity of the humain brain. These computers have also been fed with the different languages of the world.

3: The third step deals with telepathic electronic two-way communication, where ELF(Extra Low Frequency), VLF (Very Low Frequency), and LF (Low Frequency) waves will reach the people of the earth through the insides of their brains, making each person believe that his own God is speaking to him from within his own soul. Such rays, from satellite, are fed from the memory of computers that store much data about the human being and his languages. These rays will then interlace and interweave with the natural thinking processes to form what we call the ARTIFICIAL TALK.

(LL - FOR PROTECTION: TIN FOIL HATS? or not? tin foil hat - Google Search)

4: The fourth step involves universal supernatural manifestations using electronic means.

This step contains three different orientations: The first one is to make mankind believe that an alien invasion is about to occur upon every major city on the earth. This is to push each major nation into using its nuclear capability to strike back. In this manner, it would put each of these nations in a state of full disarmament before the United Nations after the false attack.

The second is to make the “christian” believe that a major rapture is occurring, with a simple “played” divine intervention of an alleged “good” alien force coming to save the good people from a brutal satanic attack. Its goal is to get rid of all significant opposition to the NEW WORLD ORDER.

The third orientation is a mixture of electronic and supernatural forces. The waves (frequencies) used at that time will allow supernatural forces to travel through fiber optics cable, coaxial cable, electric and telephone lines in order to penetrate all electronic equipment and appliances that will by then all have a special microship installed. The goal of this step deals with the materialization of satanic ghosts, spectres, and poltergeists all across the globe in order to push all populations to the edge of a wave of suicide, killing and permanent psychological disorder.

After that night of the THOUSAND STARS, HUMANITY IS BELIEVED TO BE READY FOR THEM TO ENTER IN A “NEW MESSIAH” TO REESTABLISH PEACE EVERYWHERE AT ANY COST, EVEN AT THE COST OF FREEDOM.

This article revised with new information:

A list member received this information:

THE BRIGHT RED IS “OXIDIZED CIDER CONES, WHOSE COLORS WERE ENHANCED IN THE SATELLITE PHOTO”

and I received this from Steven Brantley, U.S. Geological Survey:

Lisa,

You are quite mistaken about the interpretation of the image you found through Google Earth. Mauna Loa is not erupting at this time. The most recent eruption of Mauna Loa was March 25 through April 15, 1984. We have been working on Mauna Loa in the past week conducting an annual GPS survey, and no activity of any kind was observed by our field crews, including the crew working this morning.

Fresh lava is not on the surface on the SW rift zone and it is not anomalously hot as you suggest in your email. The “red” material in the image is not lava; the red color is due to oxidized cinder erupted between about 500 and 1,000 years ago.

The red color and the collage of satellite images stitched together with the clouds appearing to extend to the southeast looks like a plume (shape only, not the texture) but they are artifacts of the satellite images.

Mauna Loa is very quiet at this time.

—-

I have looked at images on Google Earth of Mauna Loa several times over the past year or two. About three weeks ago a friend of mine mentioned strange gases, noises and helicopters above the Hawaiian Ocean View Estates (H.O.V.E.) subdivision. I had heard these rumors before, so I spent several hours looking at Google Satellite images of Mauna Loa. I found no unusual buildings or activity on the volcano at any of these times. However, this time it was different.

To help you understand this better, click on the link in BOLD below for the full image on google maps … you can see there is a strange white cloud line on the left side of the image. (I have included a far image and a close up of the red LavaStar image above.) Google updated their image at the cloud line shown on this image. The clouds on the right are on the old image part that continues toward the summit and all looks fine. The darker image on the left half of this LavaStar image, is the new updated image.

BTW.. it still looks kind of Hot to me.

A new dataset built for this server, available from Dec 1st 2007 as a beta test. This mosaic is continuosly updated with images from MODIS TERRA, which has almost global daily coverage. This layer is the most current, near-global image of the earth available. The resolution is 250m per pixel in the middle of the swath, less on the edges. Visit the MODIS Website for more information.
New images are added on top of the old data, in the order in which they become available. In general, the latest images are between 6 and 24 hour old. The update process is automated, various errors might be visible. To produce this mosaic, 80GB per day of raw MODIS scenes are downloaded from the LAADS Web, processed using HDFLook into visual images in a global coordinate system and spliced into the current composite. Previous days are also available and can be access using the WMS time argument. Use the OnEarth_DailyPlanet.kml file to view this layer in Google Earth.

50th Anniversary of Mauna Loa’s Most Spectacular Eruption
The 1950 eruption was the largest and most spectacular eruption from the southwest rift zone of Mauna Loa since written records have been kept. It was especially noteworthy, for lava was erupted from a nearly continuous 20-km-long fissure along the middle portion of the rift zone.

One of the significant things about this eruption is that the flows reached the sea in less than four hours.

This is what we are really breathing… Mauna Loa..


This is above Pebble Beach Subdivision.. about half way down the mountain.

If it really flows… we could be in big trouble.. the airport is on a lava flow from it.. and it would block the roads.
and the gas (Vog) is really bad…

Mauna Loa Eruption History

General Info

(This section is based upon data discussed by Walther Barnard of SUNY College of Fredonia and Frank Trusdell of HVO in separate papers within “Mauna Loa Revealed”, American Geophysical Union Monograph 92 (1995).)
Mauna Loa has erupted 39 times since 1832. These historical flows cover 806 km² of the volcano’s surface. Typically, these eruptions began in the summit caldera, Moku’aweoweo, with a curtain of fire (which is a 1 to 2 km line of lava fountains). Eruptions may consist solely of summit activity or they progress down- flank via rift zone dike propagation (in the subsurface) to feed flank vents. In the historic period, the Northeast Rift Zone has been the eruptive locus for 31% of the eruptions and covered 202 km² of land. The northwest quadrant has been the source of 6% of the eruptions (covering 130 km²), the Southwest Rift Zone has been the source for 25% of the eruptions (covering 233 km² of the land), and the summit region has been the site of 38% of the eruptions (many of the latter have remained in the summit caldera and thus covered little land, although others have spilled out into the norwest and northeast quandrants of the volcano).

The oldest Mauna Loa eruption in written history is said to have taken place in 1780. Testimony was taken from Keaweehu, a Hawaiian guide in the Wilkes party who occupied and mapped the summit from 1840 to 1841. It was said to have taken place not long after Captain Cook’s visit to the islands. In 1868, and an eruption from Mauna Loa caused the largest earthquake in Hawaii, registering as a magnitude 8 by modern methods. The lava flow of 1855-1856 is said to be one of the greatest flows ever seen by modern observers.

Tiltmeters have recorded no significant changes.

Gas sensors continued to record background gas concentrations within a crack in the crater floor; the fumarole temperature decreased a little more than 3 degrees C since the beginning of February.

Mauna Loa remains seismically quiet with few earthquakes occurring beneath the summit and several located within the Kao`iki seismic zone between Mauna Loa and Kilauea volcanic summits. Since the beginning of January, 2005, HVO analysts have rarely located more than 10 earthquakes per week beneath Mauna Loa summit. A magnitude-3.3 earthquake occurred at 7:08 p.m., and was located 10 km (6 miles) northwest of Pahala at a depth of 10 km (6 miles).

Concerned Americans and world chemtrail activists are uploading photos of toxic skies commonly known as chemtrail photos, to the EPA Earth Day contest site in protest.

The 2008 Earth Day photo contest from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has three pools for entries.. one of which is “Protecting the Environment.” I have renamed it .. “Protecting the Chemtrails”.

As the EPA and other government agencies deny that chemtrails exist…. and call them common contrails. “Con”, a good descriptive word for them, a con game.
And as this is what most people of the world have to look at as they gazed at their toxic chemical filled skies for the past 20 or 30 years.. I feel the title, “Protecting the Chemtails” quite is appropriate.

Enjoy some of the chemtail evidence photos here on the EPA site: http://www.flickr.com/groups/epacontest2/pool/

The main contest site is at this link: http://www.epa.gov/earthday/photocontest/
And the other two categories are here:
Enjoying the Environment: http://www.flickr.com/groups/epacontest1/pool/
Nature and Wildlife: http://www.flickr.com/groups/epacontest3/

Upload your own wonderful Chemtrail photos. Tell all your friends. The contest is over the 24th of March.

This is a great opportunity to show the EPA and the world what our skies really look like. Be sure and let them know in the comments section just where your photo was taken and how many days of the year you and your family are blessed with breathing this fog laden of toxins.

Thank the EPA personally for the wonderful work they do in their con game… protecting the polluters and government agents as they spew their mixtures of toxic compounds on people, wildlife and our food crops below.

At 2:43 a.m. October 21, 2006, as I was just shutting down my computer, after working on gathering articles for my Angels For Truth media list, an interesting concept occurred to me.. take my signs to the Ironman and inform the people attending the event, about the potential loss of our country to the fascist state of the Neocons, including their plans to turn us into the North American Union. Pondering sleeping instead, I reluctantly turned the computer back on. To late to really notify any local protesters, I emailed the few I could along with the local newspaper, printed off some flyers and headed to bed around 4:00 a.m. I got one hour of sleep, as I knew I needed to be up at 5:00 a.m. so I could get down to the pier for the first event, the swim.

My partner, Michael and I arrived downtown and I quietly carried my sign to the pier so we could find a good spot next to the old rock wall facing beautiful Kailua Bay. Settling in and enjoying the wonderful sites and sounds of human excitement before an event, I glanced at the ocean and gasped “What!”, as I noticed a large ugly black plastic Ford sign as large as a small boat, bobbing about in the ocean. I looked north, and there was another one with a car bobbing on it, plastered with advertising. I turned to my left, and littered under the beautiful palms and other trees, dominating the street, was another very large bloated black thing, this time an arch, spanning and blocking most of our quaint and sacred Alii drive, towering above it with the word Ford plastered on cheap plastic and below it was a car on a platform with multiple logos around the base. (see photos)

I have attended many Ironman events, and never seen anything like this before. Oh my, “who approved that..” I wondered. Who received the money for the right to not only block our already blocked street, but to degrade it with such an ugly display of corporate greed and dominance.

From what I understand, from years past… the city hosts the event for the honor of allowing our thousands of local people, including boy and girl Scouts, Interact Clubs, along with all the adult volunteers, the opportunity to gain the pride of knowing they are doing something to help, by working for up to 22 hours, most under an intense sun, serving perfectly healthy people, all for the price of a T-shirt, that is itself plastered with many logos and corporate sponsors. And, don’t forget, the volunteers also get a free lunch at a party held in their honor for all their hard work in helping promote… what? I wonder.

Yes, there is wonderful stories of courage, and the occasional handicapped athlete.. and yes, it does get them in shape. But why glorify Ironman? Especially, now that it is corporate sponsored with the word Ford in its title.. and plastered all over our town.

If those same thousands of hours of volunteers, and the money involved in this event were moved toward solving something else, like building shelters for the homeless.. now that would be helping people. But wait, I forgot, we don’t glorify real heros, like police, fireman, teachers or the people helping the needy … there is no money in it. Can you imagine a homeless man with a $100 Nike shirt and thousands of volunteers handing him free food and drinks all day?

Na, glorify and help the fit and able. It’s a sport and we are a country that would rather worship our movie stars and athletes. And helping them, helps us by association. We are somebody, if we know somebody who is somebody who did something to glorify themselves. Wow.. no wonder this country is screwed up.

Living in this town for 18 years I have enjoyed the Ironman events. I have filmed and broadcast small parts of one on local public access TV. I also have a website offering free photos of many of the regular athletes, the ones the mainstream media does not focus on as much, and it has local glimpses into the event including parade photos. It is exciting to film and be part of it… it is exciting to attend and watch the people struggle though their own limitations to reach the next level. It’s exciting yes… but each year I am left a bit saddened and wondering, as the event moves in one direction and I move in another.

I see the cars and bikes competing on our crowded roads for space for weeks in advance of the event. I hear the local people at restaurants talking about how the attitudes of the attendees sometimes leaves them wanting. I see the mess strewn across our island for miles and miles, left during and after for the volunteers to clean up. And I read the hype about the wonderful party they get… and the donation our town receives from its being part of this exciting event.. and it always leaves me feeling, somehow… uneasy.

Wondering why, after all these years and the millions of dollars… the Ironman has not helped to build bike lanes for our town and for their own events. A quick google shows $50,000 to the fire department, a million raised (collected from others) to build the YMCA, and other small groups working on donations… and iron people themselves raising money for charity. I am wondering.. what the corporation makes from using our town as its commercial play thing for the day.

I am not opposed to the Ironman itself, I just want people to realize it is not what it used to be, compared to what it has become, and that this is a microcosm for our society. Something starts out with good intentions and everyone chips in to help and over time, that thing becomes “Corportized” into something far different than what it was originally intended.

If Ford came into Kailua Kona and pitched to the town council how they were going to put these large plastic floating ads in our bay and close off and billboard all the main streets of our town with them, I doubt this project would get approval, especially if they asked to have thousands of volunteers, including children, working for them, for free. But since it has morphed over time, from what it was originally, to the corporate monster it is now, most don’t notice the change. Just like America, we are the frog boiling in the pot, and most don’t even notice as the water goes from warm to hot.

My protest sign, sitting on the ground, kept most of the crowd away from our small area by the bay, and I mentioned to a lady sitting on the wall in front of me that our Bill of Rights was signed away Tuesday…. she quickly informed me she was a Republican. With that she dismissed me and my sign. Dumbfounded, I wondered, “Okay, so if you are a Republican, not having a Bill of Rights, does not affect you?” Watching the race start, I pondered her response and her mind set.

My partner, Michael and I decided to wander and find some breakfast, while the swim was going on. We headed to one of our favorite local restaurants, Quinns, just around the corner, as we knew, there was one day of the year they served breakfast, and this was it.

I picked up the sign and starting officially “informing people” by holding it aloft and we did not have to go far to receive more strange reactions to my having a sign. I was not the only person to have a sign, many did, theirs saying “Run Carl Run” and such.

Mine was bigger than most and read… “Are You Ready For The Truth?, If you were told the truth, would you want to know? Empower Yourself… AngelsForTruth.com. God Bless America, Let’s Save It. 911 Was Only The Beginning… Open Border - NAFTA Super Highway. North American Union - New World Order. World Heritage Sites - United Nations Control. Police State - American Internment Camps. All Signed By Bush and Clinton - Paid By You. If You Care About Your Future And Your Children’s Future - Educate Yourself, Before It Is Too Late. See AngelsForTruth.com for PROOF of the above and more. Help America Wakeup!”
on the front, which most of the time I kept forward.. and it read “ENOUGH - DRIVE OUT THE BUSH REGIME” worldcantwait.org on the back. I received many looks, some just reading the sign.. and several sounds of disgust… and then an Ironman official volunteer walked up to me and told me “this is not the place for that”. Humm.. I said, “did you know your rights were taken away..” he turned around and left.

A few others joined in, at different points during the day.. one man, sitting up high, hollered down.. “what are you doing here.. you should not be here”. I said, “This is my town, I live here”. He turned around and ignored me.

A foreign lady, in a crowd, walked up to me and grabbed my arm and said “THANK YOU, thank you so much for being here…”, and a few others (mostly foreigners, as they are more informed than most Americans) did the same. It was so warm and loving, it made the other energies just wash away. We proceeded to breakfast and then we walked up the hill away from the crowds, and stood by the side of the road in an empty spot where the racers could see the sign and I turned it around to the “ENOUGH - DRIVE OUT THE BUSH REGIME” side. The front runners had already passed and the group going by was more of the middle and older runners, mostly men. About half gave us a thumbs up and the other half, continued to watch the ground. One said, “I will be working on that, just as soon as I finish this”.

Michael and I left, to return later closer to the finish of the race. I wanted to get copies of the flyers I had printed and also to add information about “The Military Commissions Act” to my poster. Once home, I taped The Military Commissions Act, signed by Bush, Oct 17, 2006. NO MORE BILL OF RIGHTS Look it up.
to two posters (in case another protester showed up) and we returned with them to the race. Michael agreed to be my helper, and he did hold the extra sign for a bit, but he did not want to be protesting or informing, as he wanted at least one of us to be in the clear… in case anyone was unhappy with my protest, there would be a witness.

As we made our way slowly down toward the finish line…. we passed a large TV camera, and the man filming, turned his camera away, as he had several times this day. He said, “This is a sporting event, not the right place for that”. We were several blocks up the hill, from the finish line, on a public street and sidewalk, in front of Wendy’s restaurant. He believed they owned the town for the day.

Hummm.. I said, “Did you know your rights were taken away.. The Military Commissions Act…” pointing at the new additions to my board. He said, “Ya, ya… we know about that..”. I said, “You do? you have heard about it?” He said, “Yes, we know all about it.”. I said, “Well, why don’t you report on it then? Why don’t you tell the people?”.. he said “The home office, NY, does that stuff” and hung his head down not to make eye contact with me.

We moved on… stopping for several minutes at many different spots so people could read my sign. It became apparent that the addition of the NO MORE BILL OF RIGHTS was a very effective addition. I did not have to say anything to anyone. Most read the sign, and some mumbled.. “no more bill of rights to themselves”, as they wandered off. I was glad I had added, “Look it up”. I prefer to empower people to find the truth themselves and this seems to be effective at doing that.

Walking among the streets of my hometown.. I was stopped by several people.. one man walked up and told me “this is a sporting event, you are hurting your cause”, I said “If we could get major media attention like sporting events get, instead of being shut out by the media, I would not need to be here.” He moved away.

As I approached the main staging area where most of the people were gathered as the swim event finished and the wet Iron people jumped from the warm ocean waters to their waiting aerospace designed bicycles, a Ford Ironman World Championship Official walked briskly from the stage toward me.

“I want you to know I don’t appreciate your being here”.

Standing on my hometown street, I gazed around at the miles and miles of banners and ads lining the track walls and blocking Hawaii’s beauty including; Powerbar, Ford, Gatorade, Timex, Edge, etc… (see photos above)

I looked up at the hundred year old banyon tree standing silently by Kailua Bay and under it slightly to the right on the lawn of the King Kamehameha Hotel, which is named after one of the greatest Hawaiian Chiefs, stands a 25′ tall blow up plastic bottle of Gatorade and off to the north, stands a smaller PowerBar one.

I wonder what this country is coming to.. as I answer the official reprimand “So?”. He looks at me in disgust… as many had this day, how dare I violate the sacred cow of their religion…. swim, bike, run and profit, with my Truth poster.

I have nothing against the Iron people running the race or the people with them, or the thousands of volunteers from the Big Island, handing out the official energy gel, the official energy bar, official race drink of sucrose syrup, glucose-fructose syrup, salt, sodium citrate, monopotassium phosphate, ester gum and yellow 5. Yumm!

Holding up my signs of discontent and warning… NO MORE BILL OF RIGHTS, I wonder, how do I reach these sleeping people? Do I need a horse like Paul Revere?

They have been lied to and manipulated their whole lives… their minds indoctrinated by the school systems and the religions “to create workers, not thinkers”.. by the Rockefellers and others. Their bodies and the bodies of their children have been laden with toxic drugs and vaccinated with mercury. Their food is loaded with pesticides created by the third Reich as Nazi Chemical Weapons agent… and the people are totally clueless.

How do I reach this sleeping giant? How do I help them see that the reality they are living is collapsing around them… will they even notice when (if) the protesters disappear? Will they even complain when they are lined up to get chipped in their arm? Most won’t, I am afraid, they are so embedded in the system it will be the next logical step after the National ID card, coming in 2008 and the wireless ipod. “Get the chip! Tuned in and get Chipped up!”

They don’t notice the trash on the ground, the chemicals in their food, the plastic pollution they create by their “sport”.. why would they care about small things like no civil rights, children starving and murdered in America’s name and America being destroyed from within. No, the finish is in sight.. they can now just push to get there if they just grind thru those blisters on their feet and the pain in their legs…. wow.. finished. They have accomplished something… or have they?

The illusion fades, the wars rage, children starve, global warming happens… and all those plastic bottles, urine soaked sponges, miles and miles of plastic banners, sit silent in the dumps of many lands across the world.. releasing their dioxins into the soil.

Maybe the dream is a shallow one indeed.

I noticed that, the older the person, the more they seem aware that something is not right with the country. The very young also seemed to know. It was the group in the middle that was virtually clueless, and clueless by design, as most truths have been hidden from them.

As the first racers finished, I stood back to the wall of a restaurant, dutifully holding my sign… the bells clang, the loud speakers roar.. hurray for him, he won.. now her… the multitude of reporter’s cameras click away.. the helicopters buzz over head. Time passes, crowds thin, the reporters have time to pan their camera’s around… one lady videographer, focuses on my sign, then others do.. maybe to film, maybe just so they can read it. Some do double takes. The media noticed. Hmm… maybe it was worth the time after all. The corporatizion and commercialization of Kona is a microcosm of the problems of America, and if the media wakes up, then they can wake the people up. God only knows when.

Later, waking to the continuing sounds of the announcers screaming over the gentle sounds of paradise, I find I can’t go back to sleep, as this article runs thru my mind, I know I will be restless until I put it on paper. The loud music still pounds my quiet town and will for several more hours. I live three miles up the hill and the continual noise of the hyped up prodding of the corporate machine to create its importance is tolerated by the town, and it is okay to shout commercial sponsors over loud speakers for 19 hours. Just don’t silently carry signs of Truth through your own city streets… that is disrespect for the Gods of Pain, Sweat and Corporate Greed.

One of the last words from the announcer that night… “Unbelievable”.. I could not agree more.

Please report on this!

Loose Nukes Looming Near
by Captain Eric H. May
Sunday Sep 9th, 2007 6:25 AM
Captain Eric H. May, the Internet intelligence writer, takes a much-needed look at the implications of the loose nukes story that has been reported (badly) by the mainstream media, and is still the focus of the cyber community.
Loose Nukes Looming Near

By Captain Eric H. May
Military Correspondent

This week we learned that on August 30 the United States Air Force flew a B-52, locked and loaded with nuclear warheads, from North Dakota to Louisiana. This broke a military policy going back to the 1960s against such flights.

“I just can’t imagine how all of this happened,” said Philip Coyle, a senior adviser on nuclear weapons at the Center for Defense Information. “The procedures are so rigid; this is the last thing that’s supposed to happen.”

But it did happen, and we would not know about it at all had it not been for three Air Force officers, speaking under condition of anonymity, who Informed The Military Times about the event. And of course, everyone is trying to “get to the bottom of it.”

So says the White House, which has lied about everything from 9/11 to Iraq to lead us into a global war for which the Neocons were planning well before the presidency of George W. Bush.

So says the Air Force, which just violated 40 years of policy without explanation, and states that it had no idea of the nukes were in the air over the United States for the duration of their flight.

So says Congress. “These reports are deeply disturbing,” said Congressman Ike Skelton (D-Mo.), chairman of the House Armed Services Committee. “The American people, our friends, and our potential adversaries must be confident that the highest standards are in place when it comes to our nuclear arsenal.” Everyone would be much more confident, I believe, if the Congress now promising to investigate the loose nukes were anything but the quislings that they have shown themselves to be, both before and after the Democratic election successes of 2006. They have made it apparent that there is really only one party in power: the War Party.

The presstitute media, to its credit, has not bothered to say that it will do look into, let alone report about, the loose nukes. In other columns I have explained that they are no longer even lapdogs, they are shameless lap dancers. They sit and squirm at the seat of power, proud to say that they have been embedded, ever willing to keep pulling tricks for treats.

So whom are we to trust from among the discredited list of our political, military and media leaders? If your answer to this question is “none of the above,” then welcome to the Internet community of conspiracy theorists (like me) who aren’t willing to accept official reassurances that all is well as airborne Armageddon takes flight over America for the length of the Mississippi River.

To take a single M-16 rifle from the arms room of a stateside military unit requires the permission of several military officials, along with numerous keys, combinations and codes. It is inconceivable to me, and to every other military veteran with whom I have spoken this week, that the loose nukes were a mere accident of oversight, or that the order to fly them came from any source other than the White House.

The official account of a slip up, parroted by the official media, is a transparent lie. The task for thoughtful and patriotic American citizens is to fathom the “why” behind the lie, and it comes down to a simple question: was the White House threatening to use the nukes or preparing to use the nukes?

Like all bullies, our King George likes to frighten others. The loose nukes may have been intended to bait the Russian bear, whose President Putin has been growling for a year that Neocon America reminds him of Nazi Germany. In response to our predatory Pax Americana, Russian bombers are now overflying foreign territory for the first time since the end of the Cold War; Russian nuclear facilities are ramping up for a new generation of production as their nation prepares to withdraw all from the Intermediate Nuclear Forces Treaty of 1988; and Russian ground forces are now training alongside their Chinese counterparts in preparation for a Central Asian showdown with us.

It’s ill advised, though, to suppose that the nuclear warheads flown across America were only a bluff, and not intended for use. There are two other sets of Bush opponents for whom the weapons could have been meant as either a demonstration — or as an awful action.

Iran and Syria, defiant Middle Eastern nations, have been on the Bush target list since before the invasion of Iraq in 2003. Israel is still in an un-ended war with Syria, and a few days ago sent its jets into Syrian territory, where they were fired upon by Syrian forces. As Colonel Larry Wilkerson, former chief of staff for Secretary of State Colin Powell, recently pointed out, Israel was pushing for a US attack on Iran instead of Iraq as early as 2002. Washington insiders whisper that the Bush administration has promised an attack on Iran to its supporters in the Israel Lobby. AIPAC was instrumental in ensuring that the Democratic Congress did not take measures to repeal Bush’s unilateral war making authority, given him by the War Powers Act of 2002.

There is a still more dreadful prospect though. Our “unitary executive” may be threatening or preparing a strike against US, the unruly and now war weary American People who are the greatest impediment to the Neocon New American Century plan. It used to be that only the 911 Truth community would entertain the idea that the next 911, the “911-2B” attack, could come from our own government. However, a recent spate of Bush administration pronouncements that we are due for such an attack has made it apparent to many other Americans that Bush would welcome a 911-2B event — or might even arrange one

Six of my last seven columns have examined the prospect that a false flag nuclear attack may be in our near future, and this week’s loose nuke story has not done anything to undermine my thesis. It’s fine to wish that our own government were not such a threat to us, but anyone who thinks the loose nukes in our skies are not a threat to us is only engaging in wishful thinking.

9-11-2007- WHAT’S GOING ON?
by Carol Wolman Page 1 of 1 page(s)
Going into Labor Day weekend, there were lots of rumors anticipating a false flag operation, another 9-11. Trainloads of armored vehicles rolled into Houston. The San Francisco Bay bridge closed for three days. Suspicious activity was reported on ferries in Puget Sound. Ominous civil defense exercises are being held in Oregon, as part of Operation Noble Resolve, which also involves military jets flying over New York. An antiaircraft division is ordered to Washington DC.

We made it through the holiday safely.

Then last Wednesday, Congressman Paul Gillmor (R-OH) was found dead in his home. This was reported as a heart attack, until word leaked out that he had blunt trauma to the head and neck. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/20649320/ Now we’re being told he fell down the stairs. Gillmor was investigating a series of option trades that are suspicious- someone is betting billions of dollars that the market will fall 50% by September 21st. Even with the housing crisis, it would take a major catastrophe, like a “terrorist” attack, to precipitate such a plunge. As part of his job on the House Finance Committee, Gillmor was investigating this deal. Was he murdered because he was about to reveal something?

Would this death, on top of the deaths of Senators Wellstone and Carnahan, and the anthraxing of Senators Daschle and Leahy, have a chilling effect on people in Congress? Maybe that’s why they’re “spineless”.

Now we learn that on August 30th, six nuclear warheads were “accidentally” shipped by B-52 from Minot Air Force Base in North Dakota to Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana. (Five arrived, did one get “lost”? Or is someone unable to count?) This violates all military procedure, which requires that nuclear weapons always be shipped on the ground in the continental US, so that if there’s an accident, a bomb detonation won’t occur. It would take an order from the Commander-in-Chief to put nukes on a plane.
The warheads were reportedly fastened to cruise missiles, which have a range of 1500-2000 miles. Not enough to cross the Atlantic, but enough to hit cities in the US as part of a false flag operation. This scenario is being claimed by “military investigators” on the Hal Turner show, and is making its way around the internet. It’s being said the plan was to hit 5 American cities with nuclear weapons over Labor Day weekend in order to install martial law. If so, we have been saved by the grace of God, operating through loyal American whistleblowers, who made the “accidental shipment” of nuclear warheads public.

Now we are told that the entire Air Force will stand down on September 14th, for overhaul and review of procedures. http://www.airforcetimes.com/news/2007/09/airforce_aircombatcommand_standdown_070807/ Our skies will be unguarded for a day, and our vulnerability has been announced to the whole world. It’s an open invitation to America’s enemies to attack us. The last stand-down, unannounced ahead of time, took place on Sept 11, 2001. What’s planned for Sept. 14th, 2007? Oddly enough, El Al, the Israeli airline, will not be flying planes that day either.

What is going on? One of my most anti-conspiracy friends says he believes it’s a giant conspiracy. What do you think? and how can we nip it in the bud?

Let us pray that honest, conscientious, loyal Americans will abort whatever evil plot is in the works, just as someone “outed” the nukes on the B 52 on August 30th. Let us remember that many such evil plots have been headed off- the fourth plane that did NOT hit Congress or the White House 6 years ago (which would have initiated martial law) , the anthrax that did NOT wipe out the whole Senate (thanks to alert postal workers and doctors at the Communicable Disease Center), the lie about “yellowcake from Niger” that was exposed by Ambassador Joe Wilson (at great cost to his wife Valerie Plame, and to all of us who were being protected by her undercover CIA network), and many others.

What to do? Talk about the Sept 14th stand-down and your suspicions, write about it, protest about it. The truth will set us free. God is with us, with We the People. We are being threatened with great harm by those in power who are supposed to be serving us. If we shed enough light, if we make enough noise, if we love our country and our planet, we will finally be able to overthrow the pirates who have hijacked our ship of state, and bring them to justice.

Impeachment now!

In the name of the God of truth and justice, Carol Wolman

Presidential code was sent to satellites…..
June 26, 2007
http://www.whig.com/326765874765770.php
By David Adam

Herald-Whig Staff Writer
A national emergency alert announced on local television and radio stations throughout Illinois this morning appears to be the result of a human error in Washington, D.C.
Four alerts were heard — at 7:33 a.m., 7:49 a.m., 7:55 a.m. and 8:07 a.m. The alerts came from the National Emergency Alert System, which originates its signal with the Illinois Emergency Management Agency in Springfield.
With each alert, a message scrolled across television screens that read, “The Emergency Action Notification Network has issued an emergency action notification for the United States, beginning at …”
Radio stations and TV stations both had the warning tone for about a minute, but radio stations had no audio. The alerts are designed to override the local audio and video in case of a national emergency.
Jim Lawrence, director of operations and engineering for WGEM in Quincy, said he talked this morning with representatives with IEMA who assured him there was no emergency.
“Apparently, there’s some kind of test being run that shouldn’t be going out,” Lawrence said. “(IEMA) is getting besieged with phone calls from all over the state.”
Lawrence said a representative from Chicago with the Illinois Emergency Alert System told him that he believed the glitch was part of a test of satellite receivers linking state emerency management agencies with the Federal Emergency Management Agency in Washington, D.C.
Rather than a test code being sent to the satellites, Lawrence said he was told that the presidential code was sent instead.
WGEM is the originating source for the alerts, which are then sent to radio stations in West-Central Illinois. After the fourth alert, Lawrence disabled the system.

Report: Lab Not Tracking All Plutonium
By JENNIFER TALHELM – 2 hours ago

WASHINGTON (AP) — A stockpile of plutonium and other nuclear weapons materials stored at Los Alamos National Laboratory hasn’t been fully accounted for in 13 years or more, a government audit has found.

The northern New Mexico lab’s workers have done regular, partial inventories of the material, which the government considers to be at high risk of theft, the audit by the Energy Department’s inspector general, Gregory Friedman, found.

Yet an inventory of all the material hasn’t been done in “perhaps 13 years or more,” Friedman wrote. It wasn’t even done when the lab’s management contract changed last year, investigators noted in the report made public Wednesday.

Friedman said he is concerned because the lack of complete inventories means that lab workers likely haven’t physically accounted for all of the material in more than a decade.

Kucinich: Lies being used to set stage for Iran war, undermine civil liberties

Sabrina Eaton
The Plain Dealer
Tuesday September 11, 2007

Cleveland Democratic Rep. Dennis Kucinich was the only member of Congress on Monday night to vote against a symbolic resolution to recognize September 11 as a day of remembrance, extend sympathies to those who lost their lives and their families and honor emergency workers and the U.S. armed forces.

Kucinich issued a press release before the vote, criticizing the resolution as “incomplete,” and saying that Congress needs to “wake up to the truth and exercise its obligation under the Constitution to save our nation from being destroyed from the lies that took us into Iraq, the lies that keep us there, the lies that are being used to set the stage for war against Iran and the lies that have undermined our basic civil liberties here at home.”

“The September 11 resolution that Congress considers today should have made reference to those matters,” he continued. “It does not, so I cannot support it.”

Kucinich’s presidential campaign sent an e-mail this morning to supporters titled “Remembering 9/11″ that urged America to “regain the moral high ground in our efforts to recover from 9/11.”

“We need to call those who used 9/11 to take us into war against Iraq to an accounting under the U.S. Constitution, U.S. law and international law,” Kucinich said in the e-mail.

Chertoff: We’re Preparing for Nuclear Attack

Monday, September 10, 2007 11:10 PM
WASHINGTON — Weapons of mass destruction, small boats packed with explosives and Islamic radicalization are the greatest terrorist threats facing the country, top U.S. security officials said Monday on the eve of the sixth anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

The officials told Congress the country is much better prepared to face terror threats than it was then, but that terrorists’ desire to attack the United States remains strong ó an assertion that has yet to be fully accepted by the American public, according to a new poll.

“The enemy is not standing still. They are constantly revising their tactics and adapting their strategy and their capabilities,” said Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff. “And if we stand still ó or worse yet, if we retreat ó we are going to be handing them an advantage that we dare not see them hold.”

FBI Director Robert S. Mueller said there is already a problem with radicalization in the United States, and the Internet makes recruiting people to the radical cause much easier.

COINCIDENCE?
SEVEN U.S. SOLDIERS WROTE OP-ED PIECE ABOUT IRAQ WAR PUBLISHED IN NEW YORK TIMES. . . . .
THREE WEEKS LATER, TWO OF THOSE SEVEN ARE NOW DEAD; ANOTHER OF THE SEVEN HAS BEEN SHOT IN THE HEAD
By: Hal Turner
NEW YORK The Op-Ed by seven active duty U.S. soldiers in Iraq questioning the war drew international attention just three weeks ago. Now two of the seven are dead.

Sgt. Omar Mora and Sgt. Yance T. Gray died Monday in a vehicle accident in western Baghdad, two of seven U.S. troops killed in the incident which was reported just as Gen. David Petraeus was about to report to Congress on progress in the “surge.” The names have just been released.

Gen. Petraeus was questioned about the message of the op-ed in testimony before a Senate committee yesterday.

The controversial Times column on Aug. 19 was called “The War As We Saw It,” and expressed skepticism about American gains in Iraq. “To believe that Americans, with an occupying force that long ago outlived its reluctant welcome, can win over a recalcitrant local population and win this counterinsurgency is far-fetched,” the group wrote.

It closed: “We need not talk about our morale. As committed soldiers, we will see this mission through.”

Mora, 28, hailed from Texas City, Texas, and was a native of Ecuador, who had just become a U.S. citizen. He was due to leave Iraq in November and leaves behind a wife and daughter. Gray, 26, had lived in Ismay, Montana, and is also survived by a wife and infant daughter.

The accident in Iraq occurred when a cargo truck the men were riding in overturned.

Al-Qaida has revived, extended its influence, and has the capacity to carry out a spectacular strike similar to the September 11 attacks on America, one of the world’s leading security thinktanks warned yesterday.
There is increasing evidence “that ‘core’ al-Qaida is proving adaptable and resilient, and has retained an ability to plan and coordinate large-scale attacks in the western world despite the attrition it has suffered”, said the London-based International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS). “The threat from Islamist terrorism remains as high as ever, and looks set to get worse,” it added.

I had no idea my suggestion would be enough to get me thrown out of he hearing.”

Surrender Should Not Be An Option

“The neo-cons claim surrender should not be an option. In the same breath they claim we were attacked because of our freedoms. Why then, are they so anxious to surrender our freedoms with legislation like the Patriot Act, a repeal of our 4th amendment rights, executive orders, and presidential signing statements? With politicians like these, who needs terrorists? Do they think if we destroy our freedoms for the terrorists they will no longer have a reason to attack us? This seems the epitome of cowardice coming from those who claim a monopoly on patriotic courage.”

Is USAF Stand Down To Find A Missing Nuke? (or to use one in a false flag terror attack?)
Someone, operating under a special chain of command
within the United States Air Force, just stole a nuclear weapon.
ATS Premium Article by Chuck Simpson, September 11, 2007

Barksdale Missile Number Six deserves far more public attention than it’s received to date. Missile Number Six is potentially the major story of at least this year.

Until 1968 under the Airborne Alert Program, informally called Operation Chrome Dome, the Air Force routinely kept about a dozen strategic bombers with nuclear weapons flying at all times.

One predictable result was crashes and incidents. In 1968 the Department of Defense published a list of 13 serious nuclear weapons accidents that occurred between 1950 and 1968. In 1980 the list was revised to include 32 incidents through that year.

Notably, the Pentagon has not acknowledged any accidents since 1980. This alone highlights the importance the Pentagon is placing on the recent transportation of nuclear weapons from North Dakota to Louisiana.

Through 1968, several reported incidents involved plane crashes or malfunctions, beginning with the crash of a B-29 near Fairfield, California in August 1950. The resulting blast was felt 30 miles away.

In July 1950 a B-50 crashed near Lebanon, Ohio. The high-explosive trigger for the nuclear weapon detonated on impact. The blast was felt over 25 miles away.

In May 1957 a nuclear weapon fell from the bomb bay of a B-36 near Albuquerque, New Mexico. Parachutes malfunctioned and the weapon was destroyed on impact.

In October 1957 near Homestead, Florida a B-47 crashed. The nuclear weapon was burned.

In March 1958 a B-47 accidentally dropped a nuclear weapon near Florence, South Carolina. The high-explosive trigger detonated on impact.

In November 1958 a B-47 crashed near Abilene, Texas. The trigger of the nuclear weapon exploded upon impact.

In July 1959 a C-124 crashed near Bossier City, Louisiana. Both plane and nuclear weapon were destroyed.

In October 1959 a B-52 with two nuclear weapons was involved in a mid-air collision near Hardinsburg, Kentucky. One weapon partially burned.

In January 1961 a B-52 broke apart in mid-air near Goldsboro, North Carolina. Two nuclear weapons were released. The parachute on one weapon malfunctioned, and contamination was spread over a wide area. The uranium core was never recovered. Daniel Ellsberg reported that detonation was a very real risk because five of six safety devices failed.

In that month near Monticello, Idaho a B-52 carrying nuclear weapons exploded in mid-air. No information was made available as to the weapons.

In March 1961 a B-52 with two nuclear weapons crashed near Yuba City, California.

In January 1964 a B-52 carrying two nuclear weapons crashed near Cumberland, Maryland.

In January 1966 a B-52 carrying four hydrogen bombs crashed after a mid-air collision near Palomares, Spain. Two weapons exploded on impact, with resulting plutonium contamination. A months-long program was undertaken to locate and extract the other two weapons from the ocean. Major policy changes were taken under consideration.

In January 1968 a B-52 carrying four hydrogen weapons crashed and burned near Thule AFB in Greenland. Explosives in one bomb detonated, spreading plutonium contamination. Apparently, the other three weapons have never been accounted for.

Following large public protests Denmark, which owns Greenland and prohibits nuclear weapons on or over its territory, filed a strong protest. A few days later the Secretary of Defense ordered the removal of nuclear weapons from planes. After that order was issued, all aircraft armed with nuclear weapons were grounded but kept in a constant state of alert.

In 1991 by Presidential order, nuclear weapons were removed from all aircraft. Bomber nuclear ground alerts, during which nuclear weapons are loaded onto bombers during test and training exercises, were halted. After that time, all nuclear weapons to be delivered by plane were permanently maintained in secure storage facilities.

August 30, 2007

All of which makes the transport of nuclear weapons in combat position on a combat plane so newsworthy.

On August 30, for the first time since 1968, nuclear warheads in combat position were carried by an American bomber. Numerous international treaty provisions were violated in the process.

That Thursday, a B-52H Stratofortress flew from Minot AFB in North Dakota to Barksdale AFB in Louisiana while carrying twelve cruise missiles. Either five or six of those missiles were armed with nuclear warheads.

Cruise Missiles

The missiles on the B-52 were AGM-129 Advanced Cruise Missile units, specifically designed to be launched from wing pods of B-52H planes.

A total of 460 units were manufactured by Raytheon. A total of 394 units are currently maintained by the Air Force. Apparently, 38 are to be modernized and upgraded in Fiscal Year 2008 and the other 356 are to be decommissioned pursuant to the 2002 Moscow treaty.

Raytheon has publicly announced the AGM-129 missiles are to be modified to accomplish a “classified cruise missile mission”. This has widely been interpreted to mean conversion to bunker-busters, most likely for use in Iran. This widely accepted explanation is being used to explain why armed cruise missiles are being flown in American airspace.

Nuclear Warheads

The AGM-129 was specifically designed to deliver a W-80 nuclear warhead. The W-80 weapon has a variable yield capability, of 5 to 150 kilotons. For comparison purposes, the bomb used on Hiroshima was 13 to 15 kilotons, or equivalent to 13,000 to 15,000 tons of TNT explosive.

News Stories and Flawed Explanations

The story of the B-52 flight was first reported by Army Times, owned by Gannett, on Wednesday September 5. Gannett relied on information provided by “anonymous officers”. The story was picked up by Yahoo Wednesday morning, published by USA Today and The Washington Pos, and then quickly spread.

In response, the Pentagon quickly spread an official explanation.

The Air Force admitted to an inadvertent error: The intent was to transport ACMs without weapons. According to military officers, the nuclear warheads should have been removed before the missiles were mounted on the pylons under the wings of the bomber.

In the words of the Pentagon:

“There was an error which occurred during a regularly scheduled transfer of weapons between two bases. The weapons were safe and remained in Air Force control and custody at all times.”

For almost the first time in the history of the nation, the military has publicly and promptly admitted it “made a mistake”. This in itself is truly astounding.

To reinforce the military’s claim that a mistake was made, a system-wide stand-down was ordered for September 14.

That official explanation was quickly explained away. The mistake was made intentionally, so a “deliberate leak” of a secret operation could occur.

The CIA and the Office of Counter-Terrorism in the State Department explained that Barksdale AFB is a “jumping off point” for re-supply of the Middle East.

The “deliberate leak” was intended to serve as a veiled warning to Iran. This deliberately misleading explanation is evidently intended to lead the public or Iran or both to logically conclude the missiles are bound for Iran.

Bluntly, State and the CIA converted a whistleblower leak by true American patriots into a deliberate leak by official Washington, to scare Iran.

By this means Washington has led the public to forget or overlook the real issue.

To begin, the multiple official explanations reek to high heaven. They collectively read suspiciously like flimsy cover stories concocted in hasty desperation. And no amount of pretty lipstick will be able to make the official explanations pretty.

Transportation Violations

More conflicting explanations followed. These missiles are part of a group scheduled to be decommissioned. This would explain why they were shipped out of North Dakota.

But the missiles were not transported on their way to decommissioning. Missiles are normally decommissioned at Davis-Monthan AFB at Tucson. Nuclear weapons are decommissioned at the Department of Energy’s Pantex facility near Amarillo, Texas, accessed through Kirkland AFB in New Mexico.

And military policy requires minimization of the number of flights made with nuclear weapons aboard. So the weapons should not have been mounted on the missiles, flown to Louisiana, un-mounted and flown to New Mexico.

The mode of transportation is also a major issue not defused by official explanations. Per standard operating procedures, or SOPs, both missiles and nuclear warheads are transported primarily by air, in specially modified C-130s or C-17s. Under no peacetime circumstances do military SOPs allow transport of nuclear weapons mounted in cruise missiles mounted in combat positions on combat planes.

Department of Defense Directive Number 4540.5, issued on February 4, 1998, regulates logistic transportation of nuclear weapons.

By delegation of Commanders of Combatant Commands, movement of nuclear weapons must be approved by commanders of major service commands.

Commanders of Combat Commands or service component commanders must evaluate, authorize and approve transport modes and movement routes for nuclear weapons in their custody.

The Air Force is required to maintain a Prime Nuclear Airlift Force capability to conduct the logistic transport of nuclear weapons.

Under SOPs, combat planes with combat-ready nuclear weapons can only be flown on the authority of the Commander in Chief, the Joint Chiefs of Staff or the National Military Command Authority.

All of these transportation regulations were flagrantly violated on August 30.

Handling Violations

Violations of regulations concerning handling of the nuclear weapons in North Dakota are worse.

A sophisticated computerized tracking system is used for nuclear weapons. Multiple sign-offs are required to remove the weapons from their storage bunkers.

The AGM-129 Advanced Cruise Missile was designed to carry nuclear weapons. No non-nuclear warhead is available for this missile. So the only possible error could have been loading nuclear warheads on the missiles instead of practice dummies.

The practice warheads have standard blue and yellow signs declaring “Inert, non-nuclear”. The nuclear warheads have at least three distinctive red warning signs. This error is therefore highly improbable, absent tampering with signage.

Nuclear weapons are transported from the storage bunker to the aircraft in a caravan that routinely includes vehicles with machine guns front and rear and guards with M-16s. All steps in the process are done under the watchful eyes of armed military police.

Rules require that at least two people jointly control every step of the process. If one person loses sight of the other, both are forced to the ground face-down and temporarily “placed under arrest” by observant security forces. All progress stops until inspections are made to assure the weapons weren’t tampered with.

All nuclear weapons are connected to sophisticated alarm systems to prevent removal or tampering. They could only be removed from the storage bunker by turning the alarm off. And the squad commander clearly would not have authority to turn off the alarm.

The Impossible Mistake

Bluntly, the mistake of loading nuclear weapons on a combat aircraft in combat-ready position is simply not possible to make. Safeguards are far too stringent and far too many people would be involved. Particularly given that the mounting was in violation of policy that’s been in place without exception for almost 40 years.

No discipline is expected to be meted out. The New York Times tried to imply the commanding general had been fired. Actually, the squad commander in charge of munitions crews at Minot was “relieved of duty pending an investigation”. He has not been removed from his position or disciplined. The crews involved have been “temporarily decertified pending corrective actions or additional training” but have not been disciplined. No mention has been made of the wing commander.

Note carefully: These actions amount to nothing at all. The wing and squad commanders are still in place and the crews can easily be re-certified.

Successful Confusion

Washington’s efforts to confuse the public have been successful. Attention has shifted from the crucial issue.

This news has already become non-news. The August 14 stand-down will momentarily become news, followed by announcements of more stringent restrictions, improved safeguards and additional training. The public always has been and always will be safe.

One of the major issues will be avoided:

Someone in an irregular chain of Air Force command authorized loading and transport of nuclear weapons.

And that would never have been done without a reason. Given the magnitude of regulatory violations involved, the reason must be extremely important.

The paramount issue will be avoided, if necessary with repetition of the reassurance that the Air Force was in control at all times. The weapons were only missing during the 3.5-hour flight.

At Barksdale, the missiles were considered to be unarmed items headed for modernization or the scrap heap, and of no particular importance. They were left unguarded for almost ten hours.

According to one report, almost ten hours were required for airmen at Minot AFB to convince superiors that the nuclear weapons had disappeared. According to information provided to Congress, this time lapsed before airmen at Barksdale “noticed” the weapons were present. News reports will continue to overlook this fact also.

Even here the focus is on time. The number of missiles and warheads issue was overlooked.

Early news reports spoke of five nuclear warheads loaded onto the bomber. Apparently, this information was provided from Barksdale.

That number was later updated to six weapons missing from Minot, apparently based on anonymous tips provided to Military Times by people at Minot. This information has also been forgotten.

Conclusion

Six nuclear weapons disappeared from Minot AFB in North Dakota.

Five nuclear weapons were discovered at Barksdale AFB in Louisiana.

Which leads to my chilling conclusion:

Someone, operating under a special chain of command within the United States Air Force, just stole a nuclear weapon.

What next?

The answer has been provided several times, most recently by CIA Director and General Michael Hayden. On September 7, dressed in full military uniform, Hayden told assembled members of the Council of Foreign Relations:

“Our analysts assess with high confidence that al-Qaida’s central leadership is planning high-impact plots against the U. S. homeland.”

An eye for an eye. Use of nukes will justify use of nukes. A perfect excuse to wage nuclear war against Iran.

I suspect Hayden is absolutely correct, except for his mistaken identification of the “central leadership” that is planning detonation of a nuclear weapon on American soil.

9/14 Air Force Stand Down Part of Conspiracy Against United States?
http://americaslastpatriots.com/usa/blog/914-air-force-stand-down-part-of-conspiracy-against-united-states/

I’m not posting this information to scare people, but a listener/reader whom I won’t mention send me this information which I found on http://halturnershow.com.

I’ve never listened to Hal Turner but the site is full of what appears to be white supremacists, so take it all with a grain of salt.

I do not know how legit it is, but I heard similar information about the unlikely possibility of the accidental movement of nukes on Steve Quayle’s radio show the Q Files last week (which I consider to be as legit a source as any I’ve ever heard) and I think it’s important enough to mention if not as a warning “just in case” for those of you living in cities that could be targeted. I’m not saying get out… but if you can, it might be a good idea to take a day trip… leaving EARLY the morning of Friday September 14th.

Please note, the Air Force Stand Down on September 14th is completely and totally legit as can be found here!

ACC orders command-wide stand-down on Sept. 14 - Military News, Air Force

“On Sept. 14… The entire command — about 100,000 active-duty airmen — is standing down training flights and many other operations as part of a command-wide safety day.”

THE LIVE WARHEADS WERE REMOVED FROM THEIR SECURE NUCLEAR STORAGE SAFES AFTER ENTRY AND CONFIRMATION OF PRESIDENTIAL AUTHORIZATION!

Reports that five (later confirmed to be six) nuclear warheads were “accidentally” shipped by B-52 from Minot Air Force Base in North Dakota to Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana are false. It was no mistake; it was a criminal conspiracy to launch nuclear terrorist attacks against U.S. cities!

Military investigators have confirmed to The Hal Turner Show that President Bush’s personal Presidential authorization code authorized the removal of six 5 - 150 kiloton nuclear warheads from their secure nuclear storage safes.

Those Investigators also confirmed that the cruise missiles in which those warheads were placed, were mounted on the wings of the B-52 and not placed in the belly of the plane with other missiles headed for decommissioning.

When those nuclear cruise missiles arrived at Barksdale AFB, Investigators say plans were made to move those warheads off the base, allowing them to be used for what was to be a massive, nuclear “terrorist” strike against U.S. cities. They speculate the attacks would have been blamed on Al-Qaida and used as an excuse to impose Martial Law in the U.S.

Government officials are scrambling to silence this investigation becuase it proves definitively that President George W. Bush was personally complicit in planning terrorist attacks against his own country for the purpose of declaring Martial law, merging the United States with other countries after we’ve been “crippled” by massive nuclear attacks, implementing “one world government” to “prevent anything like this from ever happening again” and, of course, remaining in power forever as absolute Dictator.

Elements inside the U.S. Military are aggressively seeking to arrest President Bush while top Brass in the military is doing everything possible to quash the crisis.

They leaked this information to me because efforts to “spin” and cover-up what really happened are overwhelming righteous efforts to hold the President accountable for his acts.

Investigators have been removed from the case and re-assigned. All have been threatened with arrest and prison if they reveal what they know.

Investigators have told The Hal Turner Show “the scope and grandeur of this conspiracy is so vast, so intertwined in the upper echelons of military and political power, that it is almost impossible to believe.”

They went on to say that career Military Brass are putting their own personal interests (careers and pensions) ahead of national security because they are terrified of the consequences of this situation being made public.

ALL U.S. BASED AIR FORCE FIGHTERS AND BOMBERS ORDERED TO “STAND DOWN” ON SEPTEMBER 14
CONTINENTAL UNITED STATES WILL HAVE ZERO AIR DEFENSES ON THAT DAY!

In an order given to all fighter pilots and bomber pilots, the entire U.S. Air Force will “stand down” on Friday September 14. We will have ZERO air defense for the entire country on that day!

They have ordered this stand down after five nuclear bombs were “accidentally shipped by plane from Minot AFB in North Dakota to Bartsdale AFB in Louisiana on a B-52 bomber. The military says they need to stand down to go over nuclear protocols.

What is very odd about this order is that Fighter jets NEVER carry nuclear bombs. Only Bombers carry nuclear warheads. So why are fighter pilots also being ordered to stand down?

If a terrorist attack takes place on September 14, then we know that our own government made it possible with a military stand-down order.

If such an attack takes place, We The People of the United States will be left with no choice but to exercise our “orginal right of self defense” and remove our government from power by any and all means necessary, barring nothing.

Those in government are hereby warned: If your stand down order allows a terrorist attack we will come for you.

Just look at the graphic, war brings liberty and flies for freedom, pacifism is a fat stupid bird who can’t fly.

“In the summer of 2005, the U.S. occupation of Iraq raised new questions for Americans, reexamining how best to address threats to the international order and U.S.
security. With Saddam Hussein in custody, the search for weapons of mass destruction closed, and an increasingly violent Iraqi insurgency underway, Americans continued to explore how employing military power might make the world as safe as possible for themselves and other peace-seeking countries.”

Highlights
The Have-Nots (The “haves” speaking to their friends?) page 6
Environmental crises can be fueled as much by poverty
as by profligate usage. As former president Jimmy Carter
has pointed out, “extreme poverty is linked intricately
to a wider web of problems.” In Asia, Africa, and Latin
America, the poor, in an effort to feed their families, often
cut down forests, even though the land becomes infertile
within a few years. Thus poverty increases, and forests
that could produce tropical foods and potential pharmaceuticals
for export are destroyed. (how dare those poor people mess with OUR pharmaceuticals)

Poverty also drives, and is driven by, population growth.
Despite improvements in infant mortality, a baby is 13
times more likely to die in Africa as in Europe or North
America. High child death rates encourage people to have
more children. And when there are more mouths to feed,
more children continue to starve and die. Supporters of
Approach One also point out that a major consequence of
poverty is the failure to educate women, even though
every additional year of women’s education has been
shown to reduce fertility by ten percent and means that
her children are five to ten percent less likely to die.
Although contraceptive use has increased since the
1994 Cairo Conference on Population, 350 million couples
still lack access to health care for pregnancy, childbirth,
and family planning. Meeting their needs would cost $3.9
billion per year but would prevent 1.4 million infant… (google - Rockefeller population control)

Playing by the Rules (By the rules, Who’s rules? CRF? Bilderberg? NOT by THE CONSTITUTION)
The United States has led the way in helping create the
institutions necessary for the efficient operation of the
entire global trading system—the World Bank, the
International Monetary Fund and, in 1995, the World
Trade Organization (WTO), in which no nation has veto
power. Together, these organizations set the rules for
world trade, act as umpires to identify unfair practices,
and provide a credit union on which nations can draw
when they get into financial trouble. The WTO’s basic
rules are similar to those that first facilitated trade among
our 13 original colonies; now everyone is learning to play
by these rules.
Promoting trade has long been a bipartisan… page 12

Tradeoffs page 15 (After, their Pros and a few Cons, they decide for everyone! And this is supposed to be a discussion!)
• Ultimately, global trade is good for everyone,
such as when it brings new Japanese- and Korean owned
automobile plants to the U.S., even though it
may cause job losses in some American industries. (Remember, we don’t care, we are the HAVES)
• Increased globalization provides the economic
resources needed to solve global problems, even
though it might also lead to increased vulnerability (It makes us money, so we don’t care)
to terrorism or environmental degradation.
• Ending U.S. agricultural subsidies could help
millions begin to feed themselves, even though the (There goes our AMERICAN FOOD SUPPLY)
transition for American farmers and agribusinesses
may be difficult.
• Globalization will reduce poverty, but not in the
short-term. (Don’t expect results… )
• Globalization encourages American values such
as flexibility, the willingness to do new things, and (Flexibility for AMERICANS to STRUGGLE)
tolerance for what is different, even though it has
also encouraged “McDonaldization,” a standardizing
trend that wipes out some regional flavors and (So it WIPES OUT LOCALS, we don’t care, its worth is to us)
local traditions.
• Reducing trade barriers may strengthen undemocratic
regimes in other countries.

“Our governmental capacity
to help build new democratic
states must be as great as our
capacity to destroy autocratic
regimes.” (Heil Hilter!)
Transatlantic Working Group,
German Marshall Fund page 16

ADVOCATES OF A THIRD APPROACH say that the page 16
challenges of our troubled world require political,
not just military, economic, or technical solutions.
Although democracies are not all alike, our goal as
Americans for the twenty-first century should be to help
citizens in countries throughout the world develop a culture (Our World View, should be THEIR World View)
of democracy that both builds on local traditions and
protects basic human rights. After all, democracy and
human rights are our core values as a nation and have
made us what we are. In this view, both our government
and we, as citizens, must do all we can to support democratization (anyone remember Nazi Germany and Hilter?)
elsewhere. This approach honors our nation’s
legacy as a founder of the United Nations and as author of
the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
Above all, say supporters, the spread of democracy and
human rights is central to our security interests because
these will result in more stable, peaceful, societies that
could be friends or partners of the United States. This is
particularly important with Russia and China, two former
Cold War adversaries. Supporters also point to the linkages
between supporting democracy in Iraq and a more stable
Middle East. Democracies do not go to war with one
another, nor do they fund terrorists.
…

Supporters of this approach argue that progress
towards democracy can fill the dangerous political voids
left by so-called failed states, which numbered over 20
in 2005. A failed state is one that can no longer perform
basic functions, such as education, security, or governance, (They are weak and we need to FIX them by bringing Democracy to them all..and WORLD DOMINATION to us)
usually due to fractious violence or extreme poverty. One
such country is Somalia, which, according to the Chicago
Tribune, risks becoming “a patchwork of mini-states,
some of which increasingly resemble areas of Taliban controlled
Afghanistan or insurgent-patrolled Iraq.”
Failed states have repeatedly provided safe havens for
terrorists, warlords, and drug traffickers. They cannot
cope with—indeed they are a cause of—complex human
emergencies like famine. As the world becomes more
interdependent, developed democracies, such as the U.S.,
increasingly struggle to provide security for their own
citizens while trying to deal with political collapse in the
rest of the world.

During the twentieth century, U.S. security was threatened page 17
by ideological dictatorships like Nazi Germany and
the Soviet Union. Today small groups of warlords, drug
mafia, and religious or ethnic terrorists prey on failing
states. Proponents of this approach say terrorists and
fanatics have more difficulty in widening their appeal in
these countries when the governments are elected and
have popular support.
As it is pointed out in The Democracy Advantage,
“democratic government is a bulwark against state failure.”
The authors cite a study of 75 potential predictors of state
failure from 1955 to 1996. Lack of democracy was found
to be one of the three most important factors.
Democratization in other countries will also contribute
to solving global problems, because people will participate
in politics, deliberate about their community problems,
and decide what to do about them. Instead of being
thrown in jail for criticizing the government, NGO leaders (see Bush’s new police powers)
will be able to access international support for innovative
approaches to sustainable development.

The Spirit, Not the Letter
Promoting democratization throughout the world,
say supporters of this view, is the most effective means (not necessarily their interests)
of serving the United States’ interests. A successful
democratic system based on the rule of law safeguards
individual liberties, protects against political repression,
offers outlets for public dissent, and provides for orderly,
nonviolent transitions of power. When a government is (IMPEACH BUSH!.. doesn’t seem to work here anymore….)
responsive to its citizens’ needs or can be removed by
peaceful means that are perceived to be fair, it is unlikely
to be violently overthrown.
Supporters of this approach acknowledge that an
abstract concept like “democracy” is sometimes used to
refer only to the export of America’s democratic system,
including free and transparent elections, a representative (google - stolen elections)
government, and a system of checks and balances. And
they favor moves towards such democratic institutions.
They argue, however, that the United States should
encourage the process of democratization by defending
and encouraging individual human rights, political liberties,
and citizen participation, without necessarily trying to
export carbon copies of our own democratic institutions.
Human rights like freedom of speech and religion, equal
protection under the law, the presumption of innocence (not telling them about Guantanamo Bay or the Military Commissions Act)
until proven guilty, and the freedom of conscience are universal,
even if the institutions supporting these values differ.
Democratic systems, wherever they…

Using Military Power
to Secure the Peace [page 22]
Only America has the military power to keep destructive forces in check and ensure international stability. We cannot
afford to wait decades for the kind of stable, democratic prosperous world we would all like. We should use military
power, when necessary, to deal with threats to our own security and to world peace. If others will not act with us to this
end, then the U.S. should act unilaterally.

Preemptive Unilateral Action [page 24]
For 50 years, we presumed that our enemies were
rational and calculating, unwilling to risk either massive
damage or their own self-destruction. Given the kinds
of adversaries that we now face, say advocates of this
approach, those assumptions are no longer adequate as a
basis for U.S. defense policy. As President Bush put it in
a speech at West Point in June 2002:
We cannot defend America and our friends by
hoping for the best…. If we wait for threats to fully
materialize, we will have waited too long…. We
must take the battle to the enemy, disrupt his plans, (anyone remember Nazi Germany and Hilter?)
and confront the worst threats before they emerge.
Thus, it is important that as citizens, we accept the
significant commitment of U.S. ground troops and the
increase in American combat casualties as an unavoidable (accept increased American combat casualties)
part of those engagements. We should also support reinstatement
of the draft as the only fair way of meeting (support the DRAFT and SERVE YOUR COUNTY)
increased needs for military manpower, and we should
be prepared to serve or for family members and friends
to serve, if called.
We should support higher taxes to pay for a buildup in (and we should pay for it all)
the defense budget and accept the fact that some domestic
projects will have to be deferred for a time.
Finally, citizens must anticipate that aggressive action
against rogue governments and terrorists may prompt
yet more violent reprisals against the United States. (to bad if they don’t like it and come after us)

What Can Be Done? [page 25]
In this view, the U.S. must maintain its position as the
world’s only superpower, which will require substantial (anyone remember Nazi Germany and Hilter?)
investments in military research and development, and
advanced weapon systems. We must be prepared to act,
preemptively and unilaterally if necessary, when hostile
states armed with dangerous weapons appear prepared
to strike against us. And this means that the government
should consider reinstating the draft to ensure that there
are enough capable recruits to carry out multifaceted
U.S. operations.
——

What Critics Say
This new policy is seriously misguided, say those who
oppose this approach, both as a next step in the effort to
contain terrorism and as a direction for U.S. actions over
the longer term. Far from making the world a safer place,
pursuing this course is likely to make the world more
dangerous.
A large military force with broad capabilities carries
a constant risk that decision makers will be prone to
engage in violent conflict just because we can. It can also
undermine much of what the United States cares about
and stands for in the world. And, it has the potential to
lead us into a swamp of foreign commitments that,
over time, will be divisive and sap all of our resources….

Tradeoffs (After, their Pros and a few Cons, they decide for everyone! again……. Telling OUR CHILDREN WHAT TO THINK!)

• Because force is sometimes the only answer, there
may be need for a draft that disrupts the lives of
those drafted, separates families, and does not
always seem equitably distributed among eligible
Americans.
(NOT Equitably distributed… THE ELITE DON’T GO!!! The poor go.. AND THEY TELL OUR YOUTH… THAT IS NORMAL!!!)
• The future security of the Middle East and the
democratization that it makes possible represent
huge advances in our security, even though waging
the war in Iraq and Afghanistan costs the United
States an estimated $1 billion a month.
• Especially in wartime, U.S. interests require that we
maintain close relations with governments, such as
Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, even though they are not
democratic. (It is okay to spread Democracy with force, all around the World, but not to our friends with Oil)
• We need to respond directly and perhaps preemptively
to countries that threaten our security, even
though this may weaken international organizations
in the long run and may provide justification for
unilateral action by other countries.
(Even though, this may get us attacked, because our concern is taking over the WORLD, not protecting our “Have Not” citizens.. they (you) are just our pawns to fight the war, anyway, no biggie if you or your loved ones die.)

—- page 27
Perhaps no one
approach can prove adequate, everywhere, all of the time.
For no matter how strong, militarily, our nation is, nor
how wealthy or wise, we can’t guarantee what the future
will bring. (It is all about MONEY AND POWER, and that should be YOUR GOAL too!)
As individual Americans, too, we may not be as powerful
or wealthy or wise as we would like to be. We have
reason, therefore, to talk with each other about how we
might best organize ourselves to achieve the kind of world
we want to leave for our grandchildren. (MONEY AND POWER, as we have already brainwashed and DRAFTED the school children, got them into Wars, destroyed the environment, spreading “DEMON-cracy”, pissed all the other countries off, destroyed American Farmers, sterilized millions of people in other Nations and destroyed local traditions… you too can leave this to your grandchildren!)
—

THE EVENTS OF SEPTEMBER 11 were a savage reminder (Of a False Flag Operation - google it)
that we live in an interconnected and interdependent
world. Although we are the most powerful nation in that
world, we can no longer believe that our overwhelming
military might and wealth will always protect us or assume (We are not promising to protect you - see information above and google - Katrina)

Sent directly to Girl Scout Council of Hawaii, Aloha Council Boy Scouts of America, and Girl Scouts of The United States of America, and International Girl Scouts, with witnesses in cc.

Now I am sending it to you… THE MEDIA, and The GOVERNMENT

I, Lisa Long (as a Girl Scout Leader and concerned American citizen), have provided to “Girl Scout Council of Hawaii” lengthy and detailed accounts of facts regarding Depleted Uranium (DU) and its hazards, including but not limited to:

Depleted Uranium’s real dangers admitted by the Army including Official Military training guides and videos;

photographic, newspaper, video and testimony evidence from around the world of Depleted Uranium horrors to people and the environment;

evidence DU travels for miles in the air; transcript and video links to Hawaii News Station KITV 4 broadcast of high radiation readings on the Big Island of Hawaii April 22, 2007 and information this radiation is likely emanating from Pohakuloa Training Area (PTA);

links to newspaper stories in the Honolulu Advertiser including one where a U.S. Army spokesman admitted the use of DU at Schofield Barracks and the possible use of it at Pohakuloa Training Area on the Big Island and this same official at the Pentagon stated they will conduct radiological testing this summer for that dangerous contamination at Schofield, Makua Military Reservation and Pohakuloa Training Area on the Big Island;

the potential of PTA being a SuperFund site and lists of SuperFund sites and links to information, including “The 2004 Defense Environmental Restoration Program report to Congress listed 798 military contamination sites at 108 installations in Hawai’i, 96 of which were contaminated with unexploded ordnance, seven of the military contamination sites were considered “Superfund” sites. These sites have not been cleaned up.”;

the Hawaii State Bill HB1452 (to test for Depleted Uranium) and its references;

links to rising cancer, diabetes, autism, birth defects data in Hawaii, down wind from military installations;

reference to the Groves Memorandum, a declassified Army memo of the deadly effects of radioactive weaponry that clearly recommended its development as a “poison gas warfare weapon”;

other declassified military documentation where the military has been proven to be intentionally misrepresenting its actions in Hawaii and around the world, especially where citizen and solider health is concerned, including its pervasive pollution of Hawaii’s scared peoples, lands and oceans with conventional, biological and chemical warfare agents (Project Shad, Project 112, Wai’anae Coast, Kaho’olawe, Pearl Harbor).

This information has been acknowledged, in writing, that it was received by Girl Scout Council of Hawaii.

The acknowledgment of the serious dangers of any likely contamination of Pohakuloa Training Area with Depleted Uranium, has been avoided by Girl Scout Council of Hawaii’s use of alleged noncompliance with their policies and procedures, and that has served as a strategic means for their corporate avoidance in addressing the real issues in falling to protect the children in their care from these risks as a by product of pursuit of their corporate image and public relations strategies and policies.

Therefore, let it be known that “Girl Scout Council of Hawaii” has been informed and have knowingly, willingly, intentionally and intelligently exposed the children of Hawaii (up to 35 Scouts and their Leaders) to the potential dangers and hazards of DU on June 8, 2007, as reference by West Hawaii Today, June 9, 2007, ON BASE AND ON TARGET, front page story.

Similar information was also provided by me to: Aloha Council, Boy Scouts of America and Girl Scouts of The United States of America; West Hawaii Today, Honolulu Star Bulletin, Honolulu Advertiser, KHON2, KHNL, KITV, KGMB9, The Hawaii Channel, CNN, FOX News, ABC, CBS News, NBC, NBC News, MSNBC, USA TODAY, NY TIMES, PBS, BBC, News-Week, Globe, LA TIMES and hundreds of other news organizations; Governor Lingle and 107 Senators and Representatives of Hawaii and the United States.

As a result I, Lisa Long, hold you, “Girl Scout Council of Hawaii” accountable and responsible for any harm and injury that your negligence and total lack of leadership has imposed upon these innocents, our children of Hawaii.

I also hold these listed and other news organizations and Hawaii and Federal governmental representatives responsible for all injuries to all the citizens of Hawaii and the world for NOT reporting on the known and admitted hazards of Depleted Uranium and the pervasiveness of its use and its devastating environmental contamination worldwide.

In addition, I fully hold the Armed Forces and President Bush and Vice President Cheney, liable and treasonable for permitting, condoning, and suppressing this offense to our people and the people of the world.

In the past month on the Big Island a very high radiation air reading was
detected in South Kona. We now have news that the army is admitting the
Big Island may be contaminated.
http://the.honoluluadvertiser.com/article/2007/May/11/ln/FP705110374.html
This admission comes after KITV reported undeniably high readings taken in
Kona with the astute assistance of Leuren Moret, international consultant
in this field.

US Army uses Boy and Girl Scouts in PsyOps Exercise in Hawaii - potentially exposing them to Depleted Uranium Hazard (DU)

Lt. Col. Kim Rapaczy, (aka Hawaii Girl Scout Leader) invited the Scouts and their leaders onto Pohakuloa Training Area (PTA) in a public relations stunt before the Army or the State have tested the base for DU, and after Hawaii Girl Scout Leader, Lisa Long’s repeated warnings and copious amounts of supplied scientific data, for months, directed to the Girl Scout Council of Hawaii and local and national media, state and national representatives, of the potential danger lurking in the dust, soil, water and air at Pohakuloa (located next to a Girl Scout Camp) as well as the dangers DU poses in other places around the world.

As others also warned the Girl Scout Leadership, Hawaii Media, Governor Lingle, and their State and Local Representatives and as a bill for testing for DU contamination (HB 1452) worked its way thru the Hawaii Legislature and then sat uselessly with no funding, there was scant attention paid in the media, and except for two articles by William Cole, Honolulu Advertiser Military Writer, a KITV report by Dick Allgire and Maui News, and a few small independent Hawaii Journals, the rest of Hawaii’s media was conspicuous by their continued silence.

As the date approached for the Scouts excursion to Pohakuloa, Hawaii Girl Scout Leader, Lisa Long worked urgently to gain responsible attention to the issue reaching out to over 1400 people on her almost daily list mail including almost all the Hawaii News Stations, Newspaper, and the national media, including CNN, ABC, CBS, FOX New, and others, to prevent the children of Hawaii from being potentially exposed to any dangers and to warn the Girl Scout Council of Hawaii they were opening themselves up to legal trouble if they ignored the warnings and the danger did indeed exist. Lisa Long urged them to wait until all the testing was completed by the Army and the State of Hawaii before they visited the PTA Military base. She also again warned the Aloha Council Boy Scouts of America, and the Girl Scouts of the United States of America the night before the event in a desperate attempt to get it cancelled.

For this proactive action Hawaii Girl Scout Leader Lisa Long, a former Service Unit Delegate and Voting Member of the Council, with ten years experience in Girl Scouts, was dismissed by Girl Scout Council of Hawaii, and told not to identity herself with them anymore as of June 8, 2007 (the day the Scouts were to visit the base). The reasons given were that she had repeatedly violated their communications policies and procedures. No mention was ever made by them nor any agreement expressed to Ms. Long about any urgency toward the protection and safety of the Scouts from potential exposure to the effects of Depleted Uranium. In fact, this was repeatedly referred back to Ms. Long as “her concerns” (. . . but not theirs) they never directly referred to the Girl Scout Camp (and its close location next to the base), the Boy and Girl Scout excursion directly into the Pohakuloa Training Area, and their communications director even refused to answer in the affirmative or the negative, whether the Pohakuloa trip was cancelled or still proceeding as Girl Scouts had planned. Ms. Long had to learn the day after she was dismissed from Hawaii Girl Scouts, that indeed the trip had taken place, as scheduled, the day before, by reading the front page of her local newspaper, West Hawaii Today.

She, and other activists and scientists around the country are outraged at the intentional disregard for their warnings to the media, and the Hawaii Girl Scouts, and are wondering just what the Army was doing inviting children to their base, especially when they had admitted Depleted Uranium was found at Schofeild Barracks, on Oahu, (after it was independently discovered) and they also admitted they were not sure whether DU was used at Pohakuloa on the Big Island. They couldn’t say for certain until after they completed testing for Depleted Uranium contamination with sensitive radiation detectors, in addition to taking soil and water samples for laboratory analysis as required, later this summer.

But first, on June 8, 2007, as referenced by the article and photo below, they let the Boy and Girl Scouts, some as young as Cub Scouts (7 to 10 years old), sift thru that same untested soil and play with that same, untested water, prior to the Army’s official testing, which wouldn’t happen until this summer. And according to the Army’s own documents, children are especially vulnerable to Depleted Uranium hazards.

West Hawaii Today, the local newspaper on the west side of the Big Island, was fully informed of Ms. Longs and many other activists concerns about Depleted Uranium, months and months prior to the Scouts’ visit and yet, they were totally silent on the potential risks to the children in their community and most of the activists’ letters, went unpublished. This type of silence is so clearly reflected in their article below. When it comes time to pump the military up, it is front page news. . . other than that, too bad for the children and the people of Hawaii.

Shame on them.. shame on you all.

Kauikeolani Pacheco did not know that nestled between Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa sits the largest military training area in Hawaii. She was unaware of the rich cultural and natural resources surrounding the training area, or what was being done to preserve and maintain those resources.

But she, along with about 35 fellow Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts, learned this and much more during an educational event held at Pohakuloa Training Area on Friday. The event was open to Scouts islandwide as a means of educating the young people on what PTA has to offer, said Command Sgt. Maj. James Murray.

“We hoped to give them a better understanding of the military’s role in being good citizens,” Murray said. “Now, they’ll have a small view of what a soldier’s life is like.”

From digging through dirt, finding artifacts and learning how to identify those artifacts to learning the different pieces of equipment firefighters sometimes use, the day was full of educational opportunities — and fun.

“We got to discover bones and plants, how firemen work and we got to check out the ambulance,” said 12-year-old Keanu Francisco. “It was cool. And blowing the siren was pretty awesome. It’s a very good experience knowing how the Army does things out here.”

For 12-year-old Kyle Hisanaga, sitting inside the fire truck was his favorite part of the entire day.

Dear Lisa,

We have not received a response from you in regards to our June 6, 2007 email and June 5, 2007 email & letter. We interpret this to mean that you are not in agreement with our requirements as outlined in our letter and are choosing to remove yourself as an adult participant from the Girl Scouts of Hawai`i. If this is inaccurate, please respond by the end of the day.
(They gave me an hour or two to respond (3:56:43) I am not sure when they close)

I responded (5:46:49)

Dear Tammy,

I responded at June 7, 2007 12:32:00 PM HST. (see attached below) (my long attached email “When a danger is present, time is of the essence” Depleted Uranium and Girl and Boy Scout Safety - had gone in 3 1/2 hours before I got the one above - it was my original response)
Any views and opinions expressed by me are mine alone and do not reflect the opinions of Girl Scouts of Hawaii or the Screen Actors Guild, or anyone else. I am sending this my local activist list mail. I have not clicked reply to all (Girl Scouts). If someone is on my list mail, they are there as a local activist list member. Girl Scout email responses not included as per official Girl Scout policies.

I followed your policies by my disclaimer at the top of the page. Please read the attached email. Everyone else in Hawaii is.
BTW, you take 3 weeks to not answer an email directly, yet you give me 2 days to respond to yours. I see how fairness in Girl Scouts is dished out.

Of course I am going to stay a Girl Scout Leader. Someone needs to protect the Scouts.

Sincerely,
Lisa Long
Hawaii Girl Scout Leader

As nothing was getting done TO PROTECT THE CHILDREN, (besides dressing me down)
I sent “When a danger is present, time is of the essence” Depleted Uranium and Girl and Boy Scout Safety - to the Hawaii media and to Hawaii Boy Scouts, (I had also sent Hawaii Boy Scouts previous information about the potential dangers of DU at Pohakuloa )
——-
Then I sent this to Girl Scout Council (I used to be a Voting Member of the Council so I found some old email addresses)…
June 7, 2007 8:23:46 PM HST

Dear Gail, other members of the Hawaii Council, and National Girl Scouts and other Girl Scouts;
Because Tammy Yamanoha has only give me a short time to respond, and because, obviously, her email address is not working as she did not receive my June 7, 2007 12:32:00 PM HST email, and because she already stated in her letter to me that they throw away a lot of the emails to Girl Scout Council of Hawaii email address.. (see below.)
I am taking this unusual move, and going directly to you all. Which is what she wanted anyway, as she wanted me to email the corporate structure and that is you.

And because Children could be in immediate danger… by Girl Scouts actions TOMORROW. (we just don’t know for sure, so why risk it?)
It is my duty as a Girl Scout Leader, and an American, to warn you of these potential risks.

I have CC and BCC to every girlscout address I could find (national email address from the internet).
Many are old, sorry if you are not interested, but, I believe this an IMPORTANT Girl (and Boy) Scout Issue.
Please read the information below.
Sincerely,
Lisa Long
Hawaii Girl Scout Leader

I am staying up all night, again, working to protect Hawaii’s Children.
I have been denied the knowledge of WHETHER BOYS AND GIRLS SCOUTS DAY IS STILL ON FRIDAY (tomorrow) AT POHAKULOA.

Girl Scouts wants to know whether I will follow their rules (see above disclaimers which address their rules and policies), before answering if they will even answer my question about Boys and Girl Scout Day At Pohakuloa. This email is my response.

(Girl Scout response not included as per official Girl Scout policies)
Re: Response to your June 5, 2007 email

Dear Girl Scout Director of Communications, and many many others,

I am glad it is not your intent to “keep me quiet” as stated in your five page emailed pdf letter dated June 5, 2007.
And as you can see by the above disclaimers, I am not speaking “for” you about my “personal concerns” about potential Depleted Uranium (DU) exposure on children.
In the above long pdf letter, you mention “safety” only four times… twice as part of your basic policies and twice in regard to my conduct in regard to your basic policies.
Not once do you mention safety in concert with protecting Girl and Boy Scouts from potential radiation risks from DU.
You call that, “my personal issues and concerns” and never address it directly.

As stated on page one, “the general well being and safety of Hawai’i Girl Scout members is of utmost importance to the Council.”

Great, that is why I have been emailing you, and many others about these issues. It is of utmost concern to me also.

On page 5 you state that when volunteers abide by your policies - the Council can best ensure the safety and well-being of the girls… and you also state on page 5 that “this letter purposely does not speak to any one particular issue you have raised; rather it focuses on your conduct.”

Why doesn’t your FIVE page pdf letter speak to the safety concerns I have brought before you?

You also state that “The manner in which you express your personal views is in conflict with the Council’s Adult Policies. By refusing to realize this and act accordingly, you compromise the safety and general well-being of our Girl Scouts.”

And just how do I do that?
Especially, as you acknowledge, they are “my personal views”.

How do I compromise “the safety and general well-being of Girl Scouts”, by warning Girl Scouts Hawaii, and other Girl Scouts members and other people, of potential danger?

And how is the REAL dangers of Depleted Uranium “my personal view”?

Oh.. that was NOT the purpose of your letter… so you are stating that by me not following your procedures.. I am compromising the safety and general well-being of Girl Scouts.

I take offense with that statement.
My concern IS THE SAFETY OF THE SCOUTS. ALL OF THEM. Boy and Girls.
But, you were not referring to that.. you were referring to your procedures.. and policies, again.

You also stated on page 2 that my salutation: Dear Girl Scouts of Hawaii, was to the Council, and should not have gone to other Girl Scout Leaders, and others, who have no official position with the Council. Excuse you? You sent out a flyer, for Girl Scouts to invite their troops, to a camp out next to Pohakuloa.

I was addressing that email to EVERY GIRL SCOUT IN HAWAII, and anyone whoever was a scout, and anyone who knew a scout, Boy or Girl, who could be potentially put in harms way. I believe, they have a right to know when they might be putting themselves and others, in potential danger.

And just to make sure it got noticed, I sent it to our local representatives, Governor Lingle, local media and several hundred other people, as plainly stated on the email. After sending Girl Scouts emails for months concerning the possible dangers at Pohakuloa, you were taking children and camping next to it? Outrageous!

You also state that my email May 3, 2007, Example 1: does not list who it is from but the staff tried to answer it in a “timely manner.”
Yes, I received your email, May 24, about my concerns about the Twilight Camp May 26-27, which was never addressed, btw. Just my “conduct” was addressed.

You also state that the email going to gshi@girlscouts-hawaii.org is not assured that their email will be read without the proper name (see below) and because you get so many. That is interesting, as I went out to your official web site to get your official email address.

And, as you can see by my copy below in dark blue, my name is clearly stated in my original email to your official email address. And the subject line states “Girl Scout Twilight Camp” … so I would assume you would read it and not just throw it away, as you said you did and do, with unnamed emails to that official email address as stated in your letter.

It is a good thing I copied it to many other members of Girl Scouts, even though you find that an offense to your policies.
As it is, with multiple emails to over thirty Girl Scouts and Girl Scout offices, it took you three weeks to respond, and you never, to this date, have responded to “my concerns”.

As for going thru the local West Hawaii office, who would that be? We have not had anyone consistently in Kona, that I know of, for years.

I did notice that in my response to your first letter, in my enclosed copy of the original emails, the names were missing and the email was truncated. I would suggest you check the original emails. (one copied in full at bottom of page for your information)

Example 1:

In BCC: 40 Girl Scout Leaders including local Girl Scout offices in Hawaii and every Representative and Senator in Hawaii, many activists, 127 Hawaii Screen Actors Guild members, most of Hawaii news media, and concerned parents of GIRL SCOUTS.

And, as I have had scores of girls scouts on my list mail for a year, I would have assumed you would have been included in the loop of knowledge, especially concerning any potential dangers in Hawaii, to Girl Scouts, and by your own admission and as stated below, you were.

And just as you have received emails of concern “about me”, I have received emails of concern from parents and others, wondering what your response is to protect the children, as I stated in my previous letter. They are still waiting.

As for your wanting me to follow proper channels, I feel I did. When a danger is present, time is of the essence. So I emailed everyone I could find who would be able to help protect the children.

As this is a very important issue, and I wanted to make sure Girl Scouts was apprised and educated to the dangers of Depleted Uranium, and the potential of it being pervasive at Pohakuloa, including it’s ability to go airborne.

You also stated that you received numerous emails from my list mail, to various (Girl Scout) staff members, including as far back as my November 20, 2006 list mail; The Hidden Massacre of Fallujah / Embittered Insiders Turn Against Bush / IRAN, so you must have also received;

http://www.honoluluadvertiser.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070511/NEWS01/705110374/1001
The Army told The Advertiser that the rifle’s “spotting rounds,” which are fired in order to aim the trajectory of the nuclear device, were used at Schofield Barracks and possibly at Makua Military Reservation and Pohakuloa Training Area on the Big Island.

There is no evidence, however, that the fission bomb warhead itself was ever fired here, and it’s unclear if it was ever stored in Hawai’i. The warhead had the strength of two to four times the explosive power that destroyed an Oklahoma City federal building in 1995.

The aiming rounds of the weapon left behind depleted uranium, and the military this summer is going to conduct radiological testing at Schofield, Makua and Pohakuloa for traces of the heavy metal, an Army official at the Pentagon said. The official requested to be identified as a “U.S. Army spokesman.”

——-

Many of these emails contain numerous scientific articles about the dangers of Depleted Uranium, and that was just the mailings sent this year. If you need copies of any of these, just ask and I will forward them to you.

Then I was SHOCKED, to receive an event notice from Girl Scouts… with all these health concerns, the Army admitting DU use in Hawaii, Hawaii DU Bill HB 1452 waiting for funding, and “Testing - still pending” … that Girl and Boy Scouts would take children directly into Pohakuloa.

I replied to all (your girl scout list), and said “are you nuts? and I included some graphic photos of what DU has done to people, including children along with extensive information about DU and articles from the Honolulu Advertiser about DU in Hawaii.

Then I received my FIRST RESPONSE (email May 24, in response to my May 3 and other emails about a May 26-27 Camp) from Girl Scouts, Director of Mission to Market, (marketing director?). A letter concerning “my conduct, Girl Scout rules and Girl Scout image”, not one word about the Scouts safety or DU.

Boy and Girl Scouts Day - Pohakuloa Training Area
Friday, June 8, 2007 9:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.

Lisa

Then I received my THIRD RESPONSE from Girl Scouts, (June 6, 2007)
“It is imperative” that I either agree or disagree to the expectations of a Girl Scout leader according to your policies of image and protocol.
(Girl Scout response not included as per official Girl Scout policies)
Response to your June 5, 2007 email (June 6, really)

NO ANSWER AS TO WHETHER BOYS AND GIRLS SCOUTS DAY IS STILL ON TOMORROW AT POHAKULOA.

I have received no official (or otherwise) notice the Twilight Camp was canceled. (May 26-27)
I have received no official (or otherwise) notice the Boys and Girl Scouts Day at Pohakuloa Training Area is cancelled. (Tomorrow - June 8, 2007)

I have received officially, from you, twice now, that you don’t want me identifying myself as a Hawaii Girl Scout Leader, when dealing with these “personal issues” even though I do not identify myself as “Girl Scouts of Hawai’i”, which is the way your official business is typically signed, in my experience.

I been a Girl Scout Leader for around ten years, and as you stated in your letter, yes, I am a former “Service Unit Delegate and Voting Member of the Council.”

I would have expected Hawaii Girl Scouts to error on the side of caution to protect the safety of the Girls concerning this potential danger.
I have not seen that in any way, shape or form.

From your letters, I can only ascertain, Hawaii Girl Scouts is more concerned about MY CONDUCT and your IMAGE, than about the potential dangers to children and adults at the Girl Scout Camp and Pohakuloa.

I have seen nothing else in your letters of policies and procedures. Shame on you.

If you really cared about the Girl Scouts as you claim in your policies (not your actions), you would CLOSE THE GIRL SCOUT CAMP at Kilohana until independent testing for Depleted Uranium is completed by different independent labs in different locations, inside and outside of Pohakuloa, including the target areas used in Pohakuloa, throughout the past 50 years, and the whole area is declared safe and free from DU and continuous monitoring stations are set up and monitored regularly.

You would have thanked me for warning you of the potential dangers at The Girl Scout Camp and Pohakuloa.

You would have immediately sent out an official notice that the Twilight Camp was cancelled, and you would have never even considered Boys and Girls Day at Pohakuloa until the above concerns were addressed, the area was declared safe, and checks and balances were in place.

And you would have been writing your own letters about your concerns about Depleted Uranium to Governor Lingle, local representatives, and the media, inquiring about the safety of your Girl Scout Camp at Kilohana and for the children in your care, and signed them officially, “Girl Scouts of Hawai’i”.

Yes, Shame on you.

Do you think I should be part of an organization that is more concerned about their policies and image than the REAL DANGERS of Depleted Uranium exposure on children?

Maybe you are the ones who should look in the mirror.

Dear Girls Scouts of Hawaii,
You might want to find out if DU (Depleted Uranium) is up there at Pohakaloa,
before you go breathing that stuff, and taking little girls up there… most of you have been on my list for months….
you have been warned and could be open to lawsuits (and so could the State) if you ignore the warnings…
this stuff is REAL ….. the Strykers are up there NOW… moving the dirt and dust around.

IS MAUNA KEA….. A SUPERFUND SITE?

Do Hawaii’s Children have to breath
Depleted Uranium (DU) Toxic Dust
when they play in our school yards?

We would like to know…
but, Senate Ways & Means Chair Roz Baker and House Finance Chair Marcus Oshiro,
are not going to let us find out.

They have NOT FUNDED bill HB1452,
a bill to test for DU at Scofield Barracks.

We should ask them why they did not fund this important health bill,
a bill that is listed as a High Priority on the Democratic Agenda
in a year with a $700 Million Dollar Surplus…
and while we are asking, let’s expand HB1452 to cover
all the Hawaiian Islands, including Pohakaloa on Hawaii Island.
Let’s Protect Our O’hana.

Call Senator Baker and Representative Marcus Oshiro and ask if it is safe for
Girl Scouts to camp out and play in the dirt next to Pohakaloa.

Here is the link to the Bill HB 1452 they did not fund… and might or might not… in a year..
and it does not include testing anywhere but Scofield, to bad for the other islands!

KITV reported on high radiation readings on the Kona Coast LAST WEEK!!!

***MAHEA***}
Some activists are claiming the U-S Army is firing depleted uranium on gunnery ranges in Hawaii … and that it’s contaminating the state with radioactive fallout.

[Anchor:DAN]

{***DAN***}

The U-S Army denies using these types of rounds when it practices in Hawaii.

But as KITV 4’s Dick Allgire reports… those raising the allegations claim they have proof.

Leuren Moret is a world renown expert on the subject of depleted uranium. She travels the globe giving presentations about the dangers of spreading nano particles of radioactive uranium through bombs and bullets.

IT’S NOT HARMLESS IT’S EXTREMELY TOXIC

On April 22nd she took geiger counter readings in South Kona on the Big Island.

NATS SOUND “57. IT’S GETTING HIGHER.”

Normal background radiation would be 5 to 20 counts per minute. On this day she took readings of up to 93, which experts say is abnormal and quite high.

THAT IS HORRENDOUS AND IT COULD ONLY BECAUSE THEY WERE DOING LIVE FIRE WITH DEPLETED URANIUM AT POHAULOA WHILE WE WERE DOING THE MEASUREMENTS.

Leuren Moret claims the Army is using depleted uranium on the Pohakuloa firing range, and the wind is blowing it over South Kona.

The army insists is does not use depleted uranium in Hawaii. Dr. Lorrin Pang is a public health officialin Hawaii, but in this interview says he is speaking only as a concerned physician.

REGARDLESS OF WHAT IT’S FROM IT IS HIGH. IT HAS TO BE LOOKED AT. NEW FURTHERMORE SHE WENT AROUND THE TRAINING AREA AND I GUESS IT WAS HIGH DOWNWIND OF THE RANGE WHICH IS KIND OF LIKE A SMOKING GUN

ALL OF THE BOMBING AND GUNNERY RANGES ARE CONTAMINATED IN HAWAII WITH DEPLETED URANIUM ALREADY.

After considering the tragic loss of life at Virginia Tech… and the other school shootings that have happened in the past few years, I believe we need to teach our children something different.

As a college student myself, in the late 70’s, I experienced an incident that, however mild in comparison, taught me a little bit about fear and terror.

At dusk one night, I was in my dorm room on the first floor, when I heard a piercing scream like I had never heard before. It sounded like it was very close to me.

I instantly dropped down behind the bed and froze in sheer terror….. trembling for several seconds, I was unable to move. As the scream stopped and a silence fell over the usually noisy dorm, I had time to gather my senses.

I thought about the girl who had screamed, “What if she is getting raped and I am just hiding here? Get up!” I told myself…. nothing. “Get Up!, GET UP!”.. finally my body moved.

I raced to the hall and pecked out see if it was safe. As it was clear, I ran to the next room and pounded on the door shouting, “Are You All Right!” A girl opened the door and breathlessly said, “She saw someone at the window… his face was right up against the glass when she open the curtain. Lock all the outside (dorm) doors.”

I knew I did not want to live in this dorm the rest of the year in a state of fear. I shouted, “To hell with that, I’m going to go outside and see who he is.” My loud voice in the hall had broken the “spell of fear” somehow and several other girls came out of their rooms and followed me down the hall to the outside door. However, I ran outside alone.

I knew I was a minute or two delayed so I ran around to the front as fast as I could and I looked behind the bushes where he would have stood with his face pressed on the high glass window. No one was there. Still trembling with adrenaline, I ran around the building and looked down all the streets and sidewalks. He was gone. Scared away by her piercing scream.

A few weeks later, in this all female dorm, a very tall male student was caught doing private acts to himself in the TV lounge room. He was subsequently kicked out of school. Everyone suspected it was the same guy.

This experience taught me a lot.

First, I could break the “froze state of fear and terror” because I was physically strong, and I had taken coed Taekwondo classes for several years. I had confidence in my abilities to defend myself. Also, I worried about the girl next door, mentally, but it was several seconds before I could respond to her. My natural “self defense” mechanisms to tremble and hide had kicked in first and I had to fight my way thru those fears to regain control of my body.

This could be similar (although on a much smaller scale) to what many of those wonderful young students and teachers first felt. Their first reaction was probably to hide in fear and terror… and with the gunman right there, creating more terror, it would have been hard, very hard, even with training, to break thru those fields of fear. Several very brave souls did, God Bless them for their heroic acts.

But if only one or two or three, tried to get the gunman.. he would have been able to get them first. A gun does not give someone all the power, but it does give them a longer, quicker and more deadly reach. If six or more people had rushed him, they would have been able to overcome his weapon advantage, and take him down, quick.

From what I have heard so far, the students that were in one classroom and survived, and a courageous teacher that did not, broke the field enough, to block the doors and not let the gunman back in to shoot some more. Even though he shot thru the doors, and may have gotten some of them.. he did not get them all. THEY DID SOMETHING.

Which brings me to the point of this article. We need to teach our children to DO SOMETHING in bad situations. Anything.

If there is a shooter in a large area with lots of people and you can get away. RUN AWAY AS FAST AS YOU CAN AND CALL 911.

BUT, if you are in an enclosed space and can’t get away. FIGHT LIKE HELL.

Hit him with your books, cell phones, scream… throw chairs at him. Everyone jump him at once. He (or they) can only take down one or two at a time. But most will survive.

Use your books to protect yourself. A thick book will stop a bullet, in fact, it will stop several. Especially those large text books. Maybe even open, I don’t know how many pages would be needed, but an open text book could cover your vital organ areas. As on an airplane, don’t stand by and let anyone make the “live or die” decision for you. Fight them. Take them down.

We don’t need strict gun control. The bad guys can always get guns. They don’t follow the laws. Gun control just takes the weapons away from the regular people, criminals have ways around the laws.

We do need to teach self defense classes in the schools. Beyond the regular self defense classes, we need to teach group self defense classes. The schools need more physical education, let’s include this in next years education budgets.

And God Bless all the students and teachers that lost their lives to this very ill young man. And God Bless their families and his. Let’s try to recognize, understand and heal people with these kinds of illnesses, and let’s teach our students how to protect themselves. Let’s not let this happen again.

Presidential Candidate: U.S. In Danger of Dictatorship
Congressman Ron Paul warns elite believe they own us and are “always prepared” to take our liberties

Steve Watson & Alex Jones
Infowars.net
Wednesday, April 11, 2007

Presidential candidate Ron Paul has warned that the US is now at a crisis point because the people have been so neglectful of protecting their liberties and big government has been so effective in eroding them. He warned that the elite are prepared to concoct events to scare the American people and asserted that the 2008 Presidential election is a contest between the people who care about their freedoms and those who are willing to succumb to the temptations of dictatorship.

Congressman Ron Paul joined Alex Jones on air this week for a full hour to discuss his ongoing Presidential campaign and give his views on what he believes the fundamental issues are in America today.

The Congressman gave a candid interview in which he discussed many topics in depth including the economy, foreign policy, the North American Union, the possibility of a draft and the situations in Iraq and Iran.

Known for what many have described as his impeccable voting record, Ron Paul is a champion of individual liberty and a strong campaigner for restoration of a true Constitutionalist form of US government, a trait that has made him a rare and popular candidate amongst people from all across the political spectrum.

When asked what he believes the overriding issue in America today is the Congressman pointed towards the erosion of personal freedoms:

“Probably it’s the threat to individual liberty. because our government is growing endlessly by leaps and bounds and nobody seems to want to put a hold on it. every time government grows it is at the expense of personal liberty.”

Bush’s top advisors are divided over whether to close Guantanamo prison forever. A massive global outcry could tip the balance. Click to sign our petition — we will publish it in key US papers next week:

Adel Hamad grew up in a small village in Sudan. Through hard work, he became a schoolteacher. To support his family, he took a job as an assistant at a community hospital in Afghanistan. Then, late one night, he was torn from his bed and sent to hell - Guantanamo Detainee #940.

Like most of the nearly 400 detainees trapped at Guantanamo, Adel Hamad has had no trial. He has seen no family members for four years. Experts overwhelmingly believe he was not a terrorist. Even US military officers reviewing his situation have called his detention “unconscionable.”

Nearly 400 people are stuck in President Bush’s prison at Guantanamo without trials or even being charged with a crime.

Last week, nearly 50,000 of us from 160 countries signed Avaaz’s call to close Guantanamo prison - making it the largest petition in the world opposing President Bush’s assault on international law. Next week, we will run the petition in major US newspapers.

Close Guantanamo forever.

Emails May Be Missing, White House Says
http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/041207J.shtml
The White House said today that it may have lost what could amount to thousands of messages sent through a private email system used by political guru Karl Rove and at least 50 other top officials, an admission that stirred anger and dismay among Congressional investigators.

Kurt Vonnegut Dies at 84

She would be home sleeping or actively involved in the self-centered life of a normal 22-year-old.”

Texas Legislature Takes on the NAFTA Superhighway

Alan Scholl
JBS
Thursday April 12, 2007

The Texas state House of Representatives has taken the first step in stopping construction of the controversial Trans-Texas Corridor, a key element of the so-called NAFTA Superhighway. In a measure that passed the House yesterday, representatives voted to place a two-year moratorium on construction of toll roads in the state. According to the Brenham (Texas) Banner-Press, the bill “would put the brakes on the Trans-Texas Corridor, a superhighway that a private firm received a contract for earlier this year.”

The measure was sponsored in the legislature by state representative Lois Kolkhorst. “This is us tapping the brakes, looking before we leap … into contracts that last 50-plus years,” Kolkhorst said of the measure.

A nation betrayed by the red and blue
Democrat and Republican legislators accepted, encouraged, and implemented into our nation new political and unelected leadership groups called councils, stakeholders, and NGOs (non-governmental organizations). Our corporate-based government funds these groups with grants, and this, too, at the recommendation of the United Nations Agenda 21. And the SOLE purposes for the implementation of council, stakeholder, and NGO government (and yes, I said government) in the United States was to eliminate the voting power of American citizens and the power of all local governments, and it worked like a regional charm……..

Three Generals Spurn the Position of War “Czar”
http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/041107R.shtml
The White House wants to appoint a high-powered czar to oversee the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan with authority to issue directions to the Pentagon, the State Department and other agencies, but it has had trouble finding anyone able and willing to take the job, according to people close to the situation. “The very fundamental issue is, they don’t know where the hell they’re going,” said retired Marine General John J. “Jack” Sheehan, a former top NATO commander who was among those rejecting the job.

Vast Congo Rainforests Sold for “a Few Bags of Sugar”

The Odzala rainforest is part of the national park in central Democratic Republic of Congo. On February 8, 2005, representatives of a major timber firm arrived to negotiate a contract with the traditional landowners. Few in the village realized that the talks would transform all their lives, but in just a few hours, the chief, who had received no legal advice and did not realize that just one tree might be worth more than $7,500 in Europe, had signed away his community’s rights in the forest for 25 years.

Middle East Leaders Appraise Pelosi’s Visit
http://www.truthout.org/issues_06/041107WA.shtml
Many female political leaders and peace activists in various parts of the Middle East expressed support for last week’s visit to Syria by US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. “We are fed up with this division of the world into two camps - the evil and the good - which proved right from the beginning was very silly and very naive,” said Toujan Faisal, a former member of Jordan’s parliament. Such slogans, she says, are used to justify the bombing of men, women and children, and Bush’s policy has created massive destruction and death in the Middle East.

Congressional Report: Gross Mismanagement of Iraq Funds
http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/041107J.shtml
A damning report issued last month by the nonpartisan research arm of Congress says the Department of Defense continues to overstate its financial needs - by tens of billions of dollars - to fund the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. The agency also casts serious doubt on President Bush’s statements that money to fund the war will dry up by the end of the month if his budgetary demands are not immediately met.

Uranium tests for veterans proposed
A Senate committee OK’d a bill providing for testing veterans to see if dust from spent-uranium munitions has harmed them.
By Pat Doyle, Star Tribune

The shells vaporize on impact and spread a uranium dust that some veterans of recent wars suspect has left them with cancers, respiratory disease or kidney problems.
Though studies have not clearly established a risk of battlefield contamination, the Legislature is advancing bills that would provide sophisticated testing of veterans for exposure to the powder in the 1991 Gulf War and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
A Senate panel on Tuesday approved a proposal to spend $1 million to test more than 800 veterans for exposure to depleted uranium, which the U.S. military has used to harden shells and other munitions for piercing armor.
The legislation puts Minnesota at the forefront of a gradual movement by states — whose National Guard members and reservists have contributed heavily to the wars — to improve testing for uranium and determine its long-term consequences.
While critics say proponents have failed to make a convincing case for more testing, advocates liken their campaign to early efforts to learn about the effects of defoliants on soldiers in Vietnam.
“Exposure to depleted uranium may well be the Agent Orange of the Iraqi wars,” David Francis, a retired Navy officer who served on nuclear submarines, told the Senate Committee on Agriculture and Veterans. “When we send our men and women into war … we have a sacred obligation to provide the best possible health care for them when they come home.”
The state House is advancing a similar proposal to fund sophisticated testing of veterans who feel they are suffering health problems resulting from exposure to depleted uranium.
National study in 2000

The substance is a byproduct of the processing of uranium for nuclear power and weapons, and the military has used the leftover uranium to strengthen munitions. While it is far less radioactive than uranium in its natural state, there have been persistent fears that inhaled or otherwise ingested, depleted uranium dust can cause serious health problems.

Was Kurt Vonnegut A 9/11 Truther?
Cult icon tentatively contacted Alex Jones before his sad death

Paul Joseph Watson
Prison Planet
Thursday, April 12, 2007

Legendary author and cultural icon Kurt Vonnegut sadly died yesterday at the age of 84, seemingly before he was able to go public on his doubts about the official story behind 9/11 and join a cadre of other well-known personalities in lending support to the 9/11 Truth Movement.

Vonnegut had seen Alex Jones’ videos about 9/11 and government sponsored terror and asked Alex to send him more, after which Alex Jones received a personalized drawing and a letter back from Kurt and was in the process of trying to set him up for an appearance on his radio show before he became ill.

From all indications and other people Alex Jones had talked to, it seemed clear that Vonnegut was ready to add his name to the growing list of high profile public figures who have risked their reputations to slam the official 9/11 story.

Iacocca: Where Have All the Leaders Gone?

Excerpt: Where Have All the Leaders Gone?
By Lee Iacocca with Catherine Whitney

Had Enough? Am I the only guy in this country who’s fed up with what’s happening? Where the hell is our outrage? We should be screaming bloody murder. We’ve got a gang of clueless bozos steering our ship of state right over a cliff, we’ve got corporate gangsters stealing us blind, and we can’t even clean up after a hurricane much less build a hybrid car. But instead of getting mad, everyone sits around and nods their heads when the politicians say, “Stay the course.” Stay the course? You’ve got to be kidding. This is America, not the damned Titanic. I’ll give you a sound bite: Throw the bums out! You might think I’m getting senile, that I’ve gone off my rocker, and maybe I have. But someone has to speak up. I hardly recognize this country anymore. The President of the United States is given a free pass to ignore the Constitution, tap our phones, and lead us to war on a pack of lies.Congress responds to record deficits by passing a huge tax cut for the wealthy (thanks, but I don’t need it). The most famous business leaders are not the innovators but the guys in handcuffs. While we’re fiddling in Iraq, the Middle East is burning and nobody seems to know what to do. And the press is waving pom-poms instead of asking hard questions. That’s not the promise of America my parents and yours traveled across the ocean for.

I’ve had enough. How about you? I’ll go a step further. You can’t call yourself a patriot if you’re not outraged. This is a fight I’m ready and willing to have. My friends tell me to calm down. They say, “Lee, you’re eighty-two years old. Leave the rage to the young people.” I’d love to, as soon as I can pry them away from their iPods for five seconds and get them to pay attention. I’m going to speak up because it’s my patriotic duty. I think people will listen to me. They say I have a reputation as a straight shooter. So I’ll tell you how I see it, and it’s not pretty, but at least it’s real. I’m hoping to strike a nerve in those young folks who say they don’t vote because they don’t trust politicians to represent their interests. Hey, America, wake up. These guys work for us. Who Are These Guys, Anyway? Why are we in this mess? How did we end up with this crowd in Washington? Well, we voted for them, or at least some of us did. But I’ll tell you what we didn’t do. We didn’t agree to suspend the Constitution. We didn’t agree to stop asking questions or demanding answers. Some of us are sick and tired of people who call free speech treason. Where I come from that’s a dictatorship, not a democracy. And don’t tell me it’s all the fault of right-wing Republicans or liberal Democrats. That’s an intellectually lazy argument, and it’s part of the reason we’re in this stew. We’re not just a nation of factions. We’re a people. We share common principles and ideals. And we rise and fall together.

Glenn Greenwald
THURSDAY APRIL 12, 2007 07:06 EST
Weekly Standard: Bush has “near dictatorial power”

The Weekly Standard’s Michael Goldfarb participated in a conference call with former Senator George Mitchell yesterday, during which Mitchell advocated a timetable for withdrawal from Iraq. This is what Goldfarb wrote about that call:
Pam Hess, the UPI reporter who gave us this extremely moving and persuasive glimpse of the liberal case for the war in Iraq, asked if timetables for withdrawal “somehow infringe on the president’s powers as commander in chief?” Mitchell’s less than persuasive answer: “Congress is a coequal branch of government…the framers did not want to have one branch in charge of the government.”

True enough, but they sought an energetic executive with near dictatorial power in pursuing foreign policy and war. So no, the Constitution does not put Congress on an equal footing with the executive in matters of national security.
So apparently, the American Founders risked their lives and fortunes in order to wage war against Great Britain and declare independence from the King — all in order to vest “near dictatorial power” in the American President in all matters of foreign policy and national security. And, of course, for the Michael Goldfarbs of the world, “war” and “national security” — and the “near dictatorial power” vested in the President in those areas — now encompasses virtually every government action, since scary and dangerous Muslims are lurking everywhere, on every corner, and the entire world is one big “battlefield” in the “War on Terrorism,” including U.S. soil.

Until the Bill Kristols and John Yoos and other authoritarians of that strain entered the political mainstream, I never heard of prominent Americans who describe the power that they want to vest in our political leaders as “near dictatorial.” Anyone with an even passing belief in American political values would consider the word “dictatorial” — at least rhetorically, if not substantively — to define that which we avoid at all costs, not something which we seek, embrace and celebrate. If there is any political principle that was previously common to Americans regardless of partisan orientation, it was that belief.

Cheney: Bush Administration May Challenge 22nd Amendment in 2008 Election.

By PHILIP MCKRACK
Published: April 1, 2007
JACKSONVILLE, North Carolina. April 1 — Vice President Cheney delivered a speech early Sunday morning before a formation of soldiers at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina. The speech was not publicized and the prepared remarks were intended to boost troop morale. The comments were fairly unremarkable except for one short comment near the end of the speech in which Mr. Cheney suggested that the Bush Administration may seek to challenge the 22nd amendment in the 2008 presidential election in an effort to ensure that the war in Iraq is successful.

Mr. Cheney again cited the war in Iraq as a key component in the effort to combat terrorism, saying “The war in Iraq is such a crucial part of the greater war on terror that we currently have our legal advisors looking into the possibility that the 22nd Amendment may not apply in 2008.”

Because the speech was not publicized and was held on a secure military base, very few journalists were present, and none were able to ask questions about what the Vice President’s comments might mean. Repeated efforts to contact the Vice President’s Office to clarify the comment were unsuccessful.

The 22nd Amendment to the Constitution prohibits U.S. Presidents from running for a third term, stating “No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice…”. The 22nd Amendment was passed in 1951 after President Franklin Roosevelt broke a tradition that dated back to George Washington, in which Presidents voluntarily refused to run for a third term.

Political pundits and Constitutional experts are split on what the Vice President’s comments could mean. Some see the comments as an effort to extend the Administration’s “war powers” due to the fact that the country is at war. They argue that there is a tenuous case to be made that the 22nd Amendment doesn’t apply during war time since the Congress waited until after WW II to introduce such an Amendment. Others say that the mere fact that the country had just ended the war in 1951, when the Amendment was passed, suggests that the Congress would have put such an exception into the language of the Amendment if they had intended it not apply during times of war.

Others say that the Bush Administration will argue that the 2000 race was not actually decided by an election and that the Bush administration has technically only been “elected” once since the Supreme Court’s Decision in Bush v. Gore effectively nullified the popular vote. Anonymous sources inside the White House have corrborated that this may indeed be the Administration’s plan.

Is US Army Bent to the Breaking Point?
http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/040407E.shtml
The Pentagon’s announcement Monday that it is sending two units back to Iraq early means it will renege on its objective to give soldiers at least twelve months at home between deployments. The fact that the Pentagon felt compelled to make the call-up seems to validate what many retired generals and former Pentagon officials have warned: that repeated deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan are wearing out military personnel and equipment to a worrisome point.

Documents Show Secret FBI Unit Targeted Antiwar Group

A secret FBI intelligence unit helped detain a group of war protesters in a downtown Washington parking garage in April 2002 and interrogated some of them on videotape about their political and religious beliefs, newly uncovered documents and interviews show. For years, law enforcement authorities suggested it never happened. The FBI and DC police said they had no records of such an incident. But a civil lawsuit, filed by the protesters, recently unearthed police logs that confirm the FBI’s role in the incident.

William Rivers Pitt on Congress’s surprisingly effective tactics on Iraq: “It took a while for the truth of what happened in all this to sink in, for the real muscle behind this withdrawal legislation to show itself. The fact of the matter is plain: The only people in America not talking about leaving Iraq are the ones in the White House and Pentagon because they never intended to leave in the first place and want no part of any exit plan, no matter how bloody and awful it gets over there. Therefore, no withdrawal plan can be effected in a tactical sense until the Bush administration is forced into abandoning its stay-forever pipe dreams.”

The purpose of the DCMA was to bottle up the web, giving major media companies like Viacom a mechanism to enforce their copyrights in a new medium. Now they have decided that the DCMA didn’t go far enough. They want the state to enforce their copyrights in a way that will strangle a distribution system that has already allowed hundreds of millions of people located all around the world to see tens of millions of video clips.”

Bush’s long history of tilting Justice

The administration began skewing federal law enforcement before the current U.S. attorney scandal, says a former Department of Justice lawyer.
By Joseph D. Rich, JOSEPH D. RICH was chief of the voting section in the Justice Department’s civil right division from 1999 to 2005. He now works for the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law.
March 29, 2007

THE SCANDAL unfolding around the firing of eight U.S. attorneys compels the conclusion that the Bush administration has rewarded loyalty over all else. A destructive pattern of partisan political actions at the Justice Department started long before this incident, however, as those of us who worked in its civil rights division can attest.

I spent more than 35 years in the department enforcing federal civil rights laws — particularly voting rights. Before leaving in 2005, I worked for attorneys general with dramatically different political philosophies — from John Mitchell to Ed Meese to Janet Reno. Regardless of the administration, the political appointees had respect for the experience and judgment of longtime civil servants.

Under the Bush administration, however, all that changed. Over the last six years, this Justice Department has ignored the advice of its staff and skewed aspects of law enforcement in ways that clearly were intended to influence the outcome of elections.

It has notably shirked its legal responsibility to protect voting rights. From 2001 to 2006, no voting discrimination cases were brought on behalf of African American or Native American voters. U.S. attorneys were told instead to give priority to voter fraud cases, which, when coupled with the strong support for voter ID laws, indicated an intent to depress voter turnout in minority and poor communities.

At least two of the recently fired U.S. attorneys, John McKay in Seattle and David C. Iglesias in New Mexico, were targeted largely because they refused to prosecute voting fraud cases that implicated Democrats or voters likely to vote for Democrats.

This pattern also extended to hiring. In March 2006, Bradley Schlozman was appointed interim U.S. attorney in Kansas City, Mo. Two weeks earlier, the administration was granted the authority to make such indefinite appointments without Senate confirmation. That was too bad: A Senate hearing might have uncovered Schlozman’s central role in politicizing the civil rights division during his three-year tenure.

The Unearthing: An Awakening Has Arrived
Tuesday, 03 April 2007
by Manuel Valenzuela

The suppression of truth has long been among the highest priorities for the upper echelons of power and authority. For a minority elite that clings to power by the manipulation of the masses using an omnipresent cocktail of lies, deception, mass-produced ignorance and ingrained propaganda, the destruction of truth is an essential method of control. It is a formula that has worked to unmitigated success for the elite throughout history, whether the shadows of power stretch from ancient pyramids, marble temples, castles, mansions or halls of governance. Those holding the levers of power and control understand, better than most, that the dissemination of truths to a blind majority could spell the end of their reign, for truth brings sight to the blind.

With Truth Comes Awakening

These entities understand that truth is like a massive breath of fresh mountain air, pure and energizing, refreshing and invigorating, and that once inhaled by the masses, the balance of control can easily be disturbed and seriously threatened. Revolution of the many against the few oftentimes results, mostly to the enormous detriment of the powerful. They know that widespread circulation of the truths of what they have done in the past and are at present doing to the majority could light a flame onto a massive cauldron overflowing with dry kindling, sparking an enormous inferno of anger. Truth, in short, could lead to an awakening of hundreds of millions of human beings who for too long have had their minds held captive by the instruments of control used by those in power.

Rosie pledging allegiance for Truth

9/11 affected me deeply, as I know it did many Americans. The falling of the twin towers served to remind me that many of the assumptions Americans have about their lives are rooted in false feelings of security. In light of this reminder, I have begun doing exactly what this country, at its best, allows for me to do: inquire. Investigate. America is great in so many ways, one of which is the freedom to speak, and indeed think, freely. I have, of late, begun exercising the rights bestowed upon me by the democratic system I value, and the exercising of these rights has taken the form of an inquiry into what happened five years ago, an inquiry that resists the dominant explanations and that dares to entertain ideas that push me to the edge of what is bearable. I have come to no conclusions and, given the scope of the subject, will not for some time.

If the very act of asking is so destabilizing for people, than I have to wonder whether the fabric of our democracy is indeed so raveled it is beyond salvage. My own belief is that the act of asking is itself reparative, because it brings to life the values on which our constitution rests. I am, therefore, pledging my allegiance, hand over heart, trying, as always, for a rigorous truth.

O’Reilly Mafia Threatens O’Donnell Over Sex Scandal
Fox News bully promises to “go after” The View host and her colleagues

Prison Planet
Monday, April 2, 2007

Rosie O’Donnell, currently under attack after she questioned the official story behind 9/11, has revealed that Fox News bully Bill O’Reilly threatened to “go after” her and her colleagues after they mentioned O’Reilly’s sex scandal on The View.

ABC has now gagged O’Donnell from mentioning the subject on all future broadcasts.

The policy of mafia-like intimidation directed at anyone who discusses 9/11 truth on behalf of O’Reilly is a common and disturbing theme.

Within the past two weeks, O’Reilly has threatened both Charlie Sheen and Mark Cuban that he’ll be “looking out” for them if they continued their involvement in the upcoming release of the Loose Change Final Cut movie. On his Friday show, O’Reilly demanded Cuban, the billionaire owner of the Dallas Mavericks, be thrown in jail.

In October of last year, O’Reilly threatened Jim Fetzer and Kevin Barrett that he would use his influence to push for an FBI investigation of the 9/11 truth professors, in an attempt to discover if they had links with terrorists.

Enemies Of Free Speech Launch ‘Stop Rosie’ Website, Petition
Because they can’t debate us on the facts, Neo-Con bootlickers use mob intimidation tactics to shut down free speech

Paul Joseph Watson
Prison Planet
Tuesday, April 3, 2007

Anti-American enemies of free speech have launched an official campaign to have Rosie O’Donnell fired for asking questions about 9/11 and the Iranian hostage crisis, setting up a website and a farcical poll - a sizable portion of whose signatories consist of fake names and joke entries.

“We would like to make it very clear that we support Miss O’Donnell’s right to say whatever she deems appropriate. This is a free country and she has the right of free speech. We are not demanding that government or Disney-ABC censor anything she, or anyone else, says,” states the website, obviously worried that if Rosie were to be fired, legal consequences would inevitably follow.

But the website labels itself in its own banner graphic as “the online petition to get Rosie off the air,” so what else can be deduced other than the fact that this is a blatant attempt to intimidate ABC bosses into dropping the axe on O’Donnell’s continued presence on The View?

The website is seemingly connected to Neo-Con ideologue Michele Malkin, a Bill O’Reilly trough feeder and an individual who devoted an entire book to argue that American Muslims should be put in concentration camps. Malkin’s acolytes have been caught in the past sending white powder in an attempt to intimidate media personalities like Keith Olbermann.

Cheney at BYU

Excerpt:
“In May of 2001, by presidential order, Cheney was handed direct control of all war-game and drill operations. This meant he was solely in charge of the overlapping NORAD drills and war games on the morning of 9/11 that prevented Standard Operating Procedure from being implemented, and any of the hijacked planes being intercepted.” [5] Since the creation of NORAD, a joint Canadian United States venture, the order to shoot down an aircraft has always been the responsibility of the military Generals. On June 1, 2001, Vice President Dick Cheney ordered Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld to allow him (Cheney) to take control of NORAD and the shoot down procedure and remove that power from the Generals.

Why Does Bill O’Reilly Hate Our Troops and American Values?
By: SilentPatriot on Monday, April 2nd, 2007 at 2:46 PM - PDT

Bill O’Reilly abuses and cuts the mic of retired Colonel Ann Wright, 29-year veteran of the US Army, after she refuses to fall victim to his leading, dishonest questions and smear tactics. Apparently in Bill’s demented world, criticizing the actions of President Bush in explicitly violating international law — something Col. Wright spent years teaching — constitutes “blaming” America.

WRIGHT: “I want to make sure the United States treats people properly..”

O’REILLY: “Sure you do. Sure you do.”

WRIGHT: “I surely do. That’s what I spent 29 years of my life trying to do.”

O’REILLY: “Sorry. No you didn’t. You know what happened to you…somewhere along the line you started to dislike your own country….”

WRIGHT: “I served 29 years. How many did you serve? Where did you teach the Geneva Conventions?”

O’REILLY: “Cut her mic.”

Can anyone argue with a straight face that FOX doesn’t engage in pure agenda journalism? Bill knew exactly who Wright was and had the intention of painting her as an America-hating kook the entire time. But when she very reasonably explained that you can’t talk about the Iranian situation without talking about how the United States treats it’s own captured prisoners, Bill ends up losing it and accusing her — a 29 year Army veteran — of hating America. When did serving your country and demanding it abide by the Geneva Conventions become “hating America”? And when did cutting the mic of an Army veteran and accusing her of “hating America” become loving America?

Thanks for the civics lesson, Bill.

9/11 facts on the Sudden Implosion of WTC Building 7 are inconsistent with official Muslim conspiracy scenario

by David R. Kimball

“It is natural for man to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth … For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst, and to provide for it.”
– Patrick Henry

“The important thing is to never stop questioning.”
– Albert Einstein

Everyone remembers the Twin Towers exploding at 9:59AM and 10:28AM EDT on September 11, 2001. Comparatively few people can recall that there was a third massive skyscraper, also a part of the World Trade Center, which fell very rapidly to the ground on that day. This was World Trade Center Building 7.1

One reason that few remember WTC Building 7’s collapse is that after September 11th it has been treated, both in the media and in The 9/11 Commission Report, as if it didn’t happen.

“The total collapse of the third huge skyscraper late in the afternoon September 11th was reported as if it were an insignificant footnote… most people never saw video of Building 7’s collapse… Incredibly, it is virtually impossible to find any mention of Building 7 in newspapers, magazines, or broadcast media reports after September 11th.” 2

“The Commission avoids another embarrassing problem – explaining how WTC 7 could have collapsed, also virtually at free-fall speed – by simply not mentioning the collapse of this building.” 3

The collapse of Building 7 at 5:20PM EDT was in itself a major event; the sudden and unexplained fall to earth of a 47-story steel-framed skyscraper is certainly news. Why has there been almost no mention of this in the U.S. corporate mass-media, and why was there no mention of Building 7’s collapse in The 9/11 Commission Report? These are questions of great significance, and they cry out for answers. To be able to approach any kind of explanation, however, first some pertinent and verified facts of the Building 7 aspect of 9/11 need to be scrutinized.

The following eleven facts have been compiled from the research of reputable sources – those who have dared to question and have devoted innumerable hours into discovering what really happened on 9/11.

FACT 1: WTC Building 7 was one of the largest buildings in downtown Manhattan. It was 47 stories tall, about half the height of the Towers, and took up an entire city block. It was 300 feet from the closest Twin Tower (the North Tower, WTC 1), and was a steel-framed, concrete structure.4

FACT 2: WTC Building 7 – on its 23rd floor – housed an Emergency Command Center for the City of New York that Mayor Rudolph Giuliani had built in the mid-1990’s. On the morning of September 11th, Mayor Giuliani did not go “to his Command Center – with its clear view of the Twin Towers – but to a makeshift, street-level headquarters at 75 Barkley Street.” WTC 7 also held the offices of numerous government agencies, including the U.S. Department of Defense, the CIA, the Secret Service, the IRS, and the Security and Exchange Commission.5 Late 2001 was the time of “the height of the investigation into Enron, so the majority of Enron’s SEC filings were likely destroyed when World Trade Center 7 came down.”6

FACT 3: WTC Building 7 was not hit by airplane or significant debris on September 11th. It had been evacuated after the planes hit the towers. By the afternoon of September 11th, there were a few small fires of unknown origin evident in the building, and these small fires could be seen in only a few of the hundreds and hundreds of windows in the building.7

FACT 4: On 11 September 2001, at 5:20PM, EDT, World Trade Center Building 7 suddenly and rapidly collapsed. Beginning with the penthouse, all 47 stories of it imploded into its own footprint in less than seven seconds. Three different videos of Building 7’s vertical collapse – two from CBS video broadcasts, and one from an NBC news camera – can be seen online….

The curious tale of the ‘other’ WTC tower
Kevin Brooker, Calgary Herald
Published: Monday, March 26, 2007
Now that Rosie O’Donnell is trying to table it on The View, I guess we can talk about it here.
First, a news quiz: If, some time after the collapse of World Trade Center towers 1 and 2, a 47-storey office building in a major American city also came crashing to the ground, do you think you’d know about it?
Of course, you would.
But if I were to tell you that such an event actually did happen, could you name that building?
If you are like most North Americans, I’m guessing probably not.
In fact, the collapse of the Salomon Brothers Building, which was also known as WTC 7 and stood but two blocks away from ground zero, occurred late in the day on Sept. 11, 2001.
It remains one of the central anomalies in a day filled with anomalies, yet it was treated then, and remains today, at least in official annals, as an insignificant footnote.
Struck by no aircraft, and little debris, WTC 7 nevertheless had small fires mysteriously burning in several of its middle floors. Judging from photographs, one would assume those fires should have been easily contained.
Yet at 5:20 p.m., in a space of 6.5 seconds, or practically at a free-fall rate, WTC 7 collapsed perfectly into its footprint. It should have been big news, if only because it would have been the first steel-frame building in history to collapse due exclusively to fire. But for some reason, reporters gave it a wide berth.
Shortly after 9/11, when Associated Press published a timeline of events called A Stunning 48 Hours of News, WTC 7 was not mentioned at all. Neither was it in the government’s official 9/11 report. And to this day, authorities have only issued an inconclusive draft report as to why the building fell.
Not everyone is so incurious, however. A host of researchers have busily gathered everything they could learn about that day, and WTC 7 in particular.
Though you’re unlikely to have seen it, video of the collapse does exist (and can be found on the Internet). The footage exhibits the hallmarks of controlled demolition, including bursts of dust from what appear to be many tiny explosions and the curtain-like plummeting of the entire structure.

“By Way Of Deception Thou Shalt Do War.” — the official motto of Mossad

European Spooks Say Mideast Terrorists Needed State Support

“European intelligence experts dismiss the Bush ‘war on terrorism’ as deception and reveal the realpolitik behind the bombing of Afghanistan.”

BERLIN — In Germany, where war plans for Afghanistan were already being discussed in July [2001] and where several of the “Arab hijackers” lived and studied, intelligence experts say the terror attacks of Sept. 11 could not have been carried out without the support of a state secret service.

Eckehardt Werthebach, former president of Germany’s domestic intelligence service, Verfassungsschutz, told American Free Press that “the deathly precision” and “the magnitude of planning” behind the attacks would have needed “years of planning.”

Such a sophisticated operation, Werthebach said, would require the “fixed frame” of a state intelligence organization, something not found in a “loose group” of terrorists like the one allegedly led by Mohammed Atta while he studied in Hamburg.

Many people would have been involved in the planning of such an operation and Werthebach pointed to the absence of leaks as further indication that the attacks were “state organized actions.”

Andreas von Bülow served on the parliamentary commission which oversees the three branches of the German secret service while a member of the Bundestag (German parliament) from 1969 to 1994, and wrote a book Im Namendes Staates (“In the Name of the State”) on the criminal activities of secret services, including the CIA.

Von Bülow told AFP that he believes that the Israeli intelligence service, Mossad, is behind the Sept. 11 terror attacks. These attacks, he said, were carried out to turn public opinion against the Arabs and boost military and security spending.

“You don’t get the higher echelons,” von Bülow said, referring to the “architectural structure” which masterminds such terror attacks. At this level, he said, the organization doing the planning, such as Mossad, is primarily interested in affecting public opinion.

The architectural level planners use corrupt “guns for hire” such as Abu Nidal, the Palestinian terrorist who von Bülow called “an instrument of Mossad,” high-ranking Stasi (former East German secret service) operatives, or Libyan agents who organize terror attacks using dedicated people, for example Palestinian and Arab “freedom fighters.”

The terrorists who actually commit the crimes are what von Bülow calls “the working level,” such as the 19 Arabs who allegedly hijacked the planes on Sept. 11.

“The working level is part of the deception,” he said.

[Added note: This tactic is called a “false flag operation” or a “false flag recruitment”, used by both the CIA and Mossad for purposes of propaganda.]

“Ninety-five percent of the work of the intelligence agencies around the world is deception and disinformation,” von Bülow said, which is widely propagated in the mainstream media creating an accepted version of events.

“Journalists don’t even raise the simplest questions,” he said, adding, “those who differ are labeled as crazy.”

Both Werthebach and von Bülow said the lack of an open and official investigation, like congressional hearings, into the events of Sept. 11 was incomprehensible.

Horst Ehmke, who coordinated the German secret services directly under German Prime Minister Willi Brandt in the 70s, predicted a similar terrorist attack in his novel, Torches of Heaven, published last year, in which Turkish terrorists crash hijacked planes into Berlin.

Although Ehmke had long expected “fundamentalist attacks”, when he saw the televised images from Sept. 11, he said it looked like a “Hollywood production.”

“Terrorists could not have carried out such an operation with four hijacked planes without the support of a secret service,” Ehmke said, although he did not want to point to any particular agency.

“The most important thing in the struggle against terrorists, who are abusing religion, is the battle for the soul of the people and the nations,” Ehmke said. “If this isn’t resolved successfully, the 21st century could be bloodier than the last.”

A former Stasi agent who had warned the German secret service of terror attacks in America between Sept. 10-20 told AFP that a high ranking Stasi chief named Jürgen Rogalla, who is “an airplane terror specialist,” was probably involved in the attacks along with Abu Nidal.

Both Nidal and Rogalla work with the Mossad, the former agent told AFP. Nidal, was said to be in Baghdad, and is a “leading officer for some Mossad agents.”

The agent said that Nidal was “involved directly” in the events of Sept. 11. Sept. 11 was preparation for a larger attack on the United States, which is part of “an old plan,” the agent said. Based on prior knowledge of this plan, the agent said that more attacks are imminent and that aircraft carriers may be targeted next.

Rogalla was responsible for “turning NATO men” to spy for the East. One of the East’s NATO spies, Reiner Rupp, known as “Topaz,” provided Stasi and the Russians with the organization’s highest secrets until he was discovered in 1993 by the BND, the German intelligence agency.

“Evidence linking these Israelis to 9-11 is classified. I cannot tell you about evidence that has been gathered. It’s classified information.”

— U.S. official
quoted in Carl Cameron’s Fox News report
on the Israeli spy ring and its connections to 9-11.

Terror investigation blocked

Under the influence of U.S. oil companies, the [unelected] Bush administration blocked Secret Service investigations on terrorism, while it bargained with the Taliban to turn over Osama bin Laden in exchange for political recognition and economic aid, two French intelligence analysts claim.

In a recently published book, Bin Laden, la Verite Interdite (“Bin Laden, the Forbidden Truth”), the authors, Jean-Charles Brisard and Guillaume Dasquie, reveal that the FBI’s deputy director John O’Neill resigned in July [2001] to protest official obstruction of his investigation of terrorism.

O’Neill had been in charge of national security in New York. While with the FBI, O’Neill led an investigation of Osama bin Laden and had forecast the possibility of an organized attack by terrorists operating from within the country.

O’Neill had investigated the USS Cole bombing in Yemen, the bombings of U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania and the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.

In 1995, FBI agents working under O’Neill captured Ramzi Yousef, a suspected lieutenant of bin Laden, who was among those convicted for the World Trade Center bombing.

O’Neill was considered a top-notch investigator and was known for his pugnacity. He was barred by U.S. Ambassador to Yemen Barbara Bodine from that country. That dispute reportedly involved a struggle between the State Department, which sought to preserve relations with Yemen, and the FBI, represented by O’Neill, who wanted access to Yemeni suspects.

O’Neill, 49, was hired as chief of security at the World Trade Center following a 25-year career with the FBI and died on Sept. 11, the first day of his new job. O’Neill reportedly died after reentering the building to assist others.

Brisard said O’Neill told them that “the main obstacles to investigate Islamic terrorism were U.S. oil corporate interests and the role played by Saudi Arabia in it.”

[Added note: The unelected Bush regime is full of oil industry people, and the Bush family has long been involved in the oil business. George Bush Senior was also Director of the CIA under President Ford, from 1974-76.]

Bin Laden and the Taliban received threats of possible American military strikes against them two months before the terrorist assaults on New York and Washington, according to The Guardian of London.

The warnings to the Taliban originated at a four-day meeting of senior Americans, Russians, Iranians and Pakistanis at a hotel in Berlin in mid-July. The meetings took place under the arbitration of Francesc Vendrell, personal representative of UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan, to discuss the situation in Afghanistan.

The three Americans at the Berlin meeting were Tom Simons, former U.S. ambassador to Pakistan, Karl “Rick” Inderfurth, a former assistant secretary of state for South Asian affairs, and Lee Coldren, who headed the office of Pakistan, Afghan and Bangladesh affairs in the State Department until 1997.

There were other meetings arranged by Vendrell in which “representatives of the U.S. government and Russia, and the six countries that border with Afghanistan were present,” according to the French authors. “Some times, representatives of the Taliban also sat around the table.”

The Berlin conference was the third meeting since November 2000 arranged by Vendrell. As a UN meeting, its official agenda was supposedly confined to trying to find a negotiated solution to the civil war in Afghanistan, ending terrorism and heroin trafficking, and discussing humanitarian aid.

“Carpet of gold – or bombs”

The U.S. government’s primary objective in Afghanistan was to consolidate the position of the Taliban regime in order to obtain access to the oil and gas reserves of Central Asia, the French authors wrote.

Until August, the U.S. government saw the Taliban regime “as a source of stability in Central Asia that would enable the construction of an oil pipeline across Central Asia,” from the rich oilfields in Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and Kazakstan, through Afghanistan and Pakistan, to the Indian Ocean, they said.

“The oil and gas reserves of Central Asia have been controlled by Russia. The Bush government wanted to change all that,” the book says. When the Taliban refused to accept U.S. conditions, “this rationale of energy security changed into a military one.”

“The Americans indicated to us that in case the Taliban does not behave and in case Pakistan also doesn’t help us to influence the Taliban, then the United States would be left with no option but to take an overt action against Afghanistan,” said Niaz Naik, a former foreign minister of Pakistan, who attended the meetings.

During the “6 plus 2” meeting in Berlin in July [2001], the discussions turned around “the formation of a government of national unity. If the Taliban had accepted this coalition, they would have immediately received international economic aid,” Naik said on French television.

“And the pipe lines from Kazakstan and Uzbekistan would have come,” he added.

Naik also claimed that Tom Simons, the U.S. representative at these meetings, openly threatened the Taliban and Pakistan.

“Simons said, ‘either the Taliban behave as they ought to, or Pakistan convinces them to do so, or we will use another option.’ The words Simons used were ‘a military operation,’ ” Naik said.

“At one moment during the negotiations, the U.S. representatives told the Taliban, ‘either you accept our offer of a carpet of gold, or we bury you under a carpet of bombs,’ ” Brisard said in an interview in Paris.

According to the book, the Bush government began to negotiate with the Taliban in February [2001], soon after coming into power. U.S. and Taliban diplomatic representatives met several times in Washington, Berlin and Islamabad.

To polish their image in the United States, the Taliban even employed a U.S. expert on public relations, Laila Helms.

The authors claim that Helms is also an expert in the works of U.S. secret services, for her uncle, Richard Helms, is a former director of the CIA.

The botched US raid that led to the Iranian hostage crisis
LINK

UK INDEPENDENT
By Patrick Cockburn
Published: 03 April 2007

A failed American attempt to abduct two senior Iranian security officers on an official visit to northern Iraq was the starting pistol for a crisis that 10 weeks later led to Iranians seizing 15 British sailors and Marines.

Early on the morning of 11 January, helicopter-born US forces launched a surprise raid on a long-established Iranian liaison office in the city of Arbil in Iraqi Kurdistan. They captured five relatively junior Iranian officials whom the US accuses of being intelligence agents and still holds.

In reality the US attack had a far more ambitious objective, The Independent has learned. The aim of the raid, launched without informing the Kurdish authorities, was to seize two men at the very heart of the Iranian security establishment.

Better understanding of the seriousness of the US action in Arbil - and the angry Iranian response to it - should have led Downing Street and the Ministry of Defence to realise that Iran was likely to retaliate against American or British forces such as highly vulnerable Navy search parties in the Gulf. The two senior Iranian officers the US sought to capture were Mohammed Jafari, the powerful deputy head of the Iranian National Security Council, and General Minojahar Frouzanda, the chief of intelligence of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, according to Kurdish officials.

The two men were in Kurdistan on an official visit during which they met the Iraqi President, Jalal Talabani, and later saw Massoud Barzani, the President of the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG), at his mountain headquarters overlooking Arbil.

“They were after Jafari,” Fuad Hussein, the chief of staff of Massoud Barzani, told The Independent. He confirmed that the Iranian office had been established in Arbil for a long time and was often visited by Kurds obtaining documents to visit Iran. “The Americans thought he [Jafari] was there,” said Mr Hussein.

Mr Jafari was accompanied by a second, high-ranking Iranian official. “His name was General Minojahar Frouzanda, the head of intelligence of the Pasdaran [Iranian Revolutionary Guard],” said Sadi Ahmed Pire, now head of the Diwan (office) of President Talabani in Baghdad. Mr Pire previously lived in Arbil, where he headed the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK), Mr Talabani’s political party.

Call that humiliation?

No hoods. No electric shocks. No beatings. These Iranians clearly are a very uncivilised bunch

Terry Jones
Saturday March 31, 2007
The Guardian

I share the outrage expressed in the British press over the treatment of our naval personnel accused by Iran of illegally entering their waters. It is a disgrace. We would never dream of treating captives like this - allowing them to smoke cigarettes, for example, even though it has been proven that smoking kills. And as for compelling poor servicewoman Faye Turney to wear a black headscarf, and then allowing the picture to be posted around the world - have the Iranians no concept of civilised behaviour? For God’s sake, what’s wrong with putting a bag over her head? That’s what we do with the Muslims we capture: we put bags over their heads, so it’s hard to breathe. Then it’s perfectly acceptable to take photographs of them and circulate them to the press because the captives can’t be recognised and humiliated in the way these unfortunate British service people are.

The Losing of the War For The Soul of The Nation
The answer is that we have arrived by design. The global elites of a patient and dedicated demeanor have instituted a master plan, by which they have surreptitiously and systematically degraded the morals of the people. And the morals of the people, good or bad, establish the character of a nation, and always have. If the collective morals of the people are righteous and strong the nation will likewise be moral and sturdy. If the collective conscience of the people has been seared and moral degeneracy prevails, the system will reflect these traits…….

Even as their confrontation with President Bush over Iraq escalates, emboldened Congressional Democrats are challenging the White House on a range of issues - such as unionization of airport security workers and the loosening of presidential secrecy orders - with even more dramatic showdowns coming soon.

Paul Krugman | Distract and Disenfranchise
http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/040207L.shtml
Paul Krugman has a theory about the Bush administration’s abuses of power that are now, finally, coming to light. Ultimately, he believes, they were driven by rising income inequality.

Robert Parry | Bush, Iran & Selective Outrage
http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/040207M.shtml
Robert Parry argues that one of the least endearing features of Washington’s political/media hierarchy is its propensity for selective outrage, like what is now coming from George W. Bush about the “inexcusable behavior” of the Iranian government in holding 15 British sailors whom Bush has labeled “hostages.” This is the same President Bush who often mocks the very idea that international law should apply to him; he’s fond of the punch line: “International law? I better call my lawyer.” But Bush becomes a pious defender of international law when it suits his geopolitical interests.

Ex-Partner of Giuliani May Face Charges
http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/040207O.shtml
Federal prosecutors have told Bernard B. Kerik, whose nomination as homeland security secretary in 2004 ended in scandal, that he is likely to be charged with several felonies, including tax evasion and conspiracy to commit wiretapping. Kerik’s indictment could set the stage for a courtroom battle that would draw attention to Kerik’s extensive business and political dealings with former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, who personally recommended him to President Bush for the Cabinet.

Former Intel Officers | Brinkmanship Unwise in Uncharted Waters
http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/040207P.shtml
Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity comment on the current hostage showdown with Iran: “There is real danger that this incident, and the way it plays out, may turn out to be outgoing British Prime Minister Tony Blair’s last gesture of fealty to President George W. Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney, and ‘neoconservative’ advisers who, this time, are looking for a casus belli to ‘justify’ air strikes on Iran. Bush and Cheney no doubt find encouragement in the fact that the Democrats last week refused to include in the current House bill on Iraq war funding proposed language forbidding the White House from launching war on Iran without explicit Congressional approval.”

Income Gap Is Widening, Data Shows
http://www.truthout.org/issues_06/040207LA.shtml
Income inequality grew significantly in 2005, with the top one percent of Americans - those with incomes that year of more than $348,000 - receiving their largest share of national income since 1928, analysis of newly released tax data shows. The top ten percent, roughly those earning more than $100,000, also reached a level of income share not seen since before the Depression.

National Nuclear Security Agency can’t account for 20 computers with sensitive information

Published: Sunday April 1, 2007

The Energy Department inspector general said Friday that the “office in charge of protecting American technical secrets about nuclear weapons from foreign spies is missing 20 desktop computers, at least 14 of which have been used for classified information,” reports the New York Times.

“This is the 13th time in a little over four years that an audit has found that the department, whose national laboratories and factories do most of the work in designing and building nuclear warheads, has lost control over computers used in working on the bombs,” writes Matthew Wald.

This is not the first time that computers involved in tracking nuclear information have gone missing. The current incident involves computers used in “tracking and countering efforts to steal bomb information.”

“Problems with the control and accountability of desktop and laptop computers have plagued the department for a number of years,” the Times quotes the Department of Energy report.

National Nuclear Security Agency director Linton F. Brooks was fired in January because of security concerns.

For Once The US Is Portrayed Internationally In A Positive Light!

by Cathy Garger Page 1 of 1 page(s)

http://www.opednews.com

In an article titled “Campaigner warns against uranium mining” on the Australian ABC news site we get to see the United States - for once - represented in a positive way! Way to go, Kevin Kamps and all the rest of the awesome, hard-working folks at Nuclear Information and Resource Service (NIRS)! Let it never again be said that nothing worthwhile ever happens within the shadow of the internationally infamous “District of Crime”.

Uranium mining has been a deadly-yet-lucrative industry that has benefited both US corporations and government. In all certainty, if it were not for US Uranium mining? The nuclear power industry and the use of Uranium weapons, considered illegal under international law, would be far less financially “attractive” than is currently the case.

In the Australian ABC news article, regarding Uranium, Kamps, representative for NIRS, states, “It’s having some of the greatest public health and environmental impacts because of the carelessness with which it’s disposed of.” He also goes on to mention that “it’s just dumped on the surface and it blows with the wind and it flows with the water and that is unfortunately the state of practice with uranium mining.” Kamps is further credited with adding that the traditional inhabitants are often targeted in the search for storage sites for nuclear waste.

Even the EPA admits that it doesn’t have a clue just how much radioactive garbage has been dumped inside the United States! “There is no exact total of these wastes.” On their website they go on to say, “However we do have estimates based on U.S. Geological Survey data. The U.S. G.S. estimated for EPA that the total amount of waste rock generated by the approximately 4,000 open pit and underground mines in their data files to be about three billion metric tons… Given the larger number of mine locations identified by EPA, the amount of waste rock is likely to be higher.

Three billion metric tons of radioactive waste, you say? I know just the place, as a matter of fact, where they can dump it, too. No, scratch that. There are 7 million other people living here around Washington, DC who have certainly done nothing to merit the radiological fallout of such a red-hot, scorching, “Capital” punishment treatment.

Also according to the EPA, there are approximately 15,000 Uranium mines inside the United States. Good Lord – 15,000 mines! On average, that averages out to roughly 300 mining sites per each state, if all states did an equal share of Uranium mining (which, of course, they do not). That sure adds up to a whole lot of mighty sick, radioactively-poisoned Americans, wildlife, cattle (consider that fast-food burger lunch), and permanently contaminated soil, water, and vegetation!

Years back, do you remember reading about the high rates of cancers and diabetes in indigenous populations living in the US Southwest? Do you recall how the articles usually discussed the poor “lifestyle choices” of these modern-day Native Americans? We were told that indigenous peoples on these reservations were thusly diseased due to factors such as sedentary lifestyle, increased alcohol consumption, and a more processed “Americanized” diet.

Once again, many of us have since come to realize that the controlled US media was merely performing its customary function of manufacturing propaganda spin and lies. As I recall, the mainstream news articles that discussed the marked increase in diseased indigenous Americans did not typically mention the “dirty” business of Uranium mining and military munitions dropping, live-fire “testing”, exploding, and burning around native tribal lands.

UPDATED: April 1, 2007

SUICIDAL STATECRAFT

With the hands of the cosmic clock striking one minute to midnight, we are descending into a violent vortex impelled by the winds of war.

The will to war has filled the cup of blood that now runneth over staining the Psalms of David, a brutal warrior and poet of war who danced in triumphant jubilation after consigning his many victims to defeat, death and horrific desecration. David decapitated the corpses of his victims and drank deeply in celebration of their utter devastation.

Reeling on the edge and teetering on the brink of world war, our planet is assaulted by an attack of vertigo: we are now experiencing a moment of panic before the inevitable plunge into the abyss of World War III.

At this critical moment in history, many nations are headed by weak, spineless and sniveling political leaders, a quartet of cowardly men bullied and beaten and battered by powers intent on wreaking carnage, calamity and catastrophe upon the world in pursuit of capital, influence and the cruel satisfaction of mass murder, genocide and torture.

The chthonic ritual of war is uncoiling ineluctably before us. Right before our very eyes we are witnessing the disintegration of our collective psyche that yearns for peace. The serpent is sloughing its skin. A new age is being born from the death throes of an older era, an epoch dominated by hatred, fear, power, greed, dizzying hierarchies of madness and the limitless scandals of religious orthodoxies gone totally insane to the point of deliberate and premeditated Apocalyptic statecraft.

Humanity enters a vortex so powerful, so irresistible, so unsustainable that the consequences are nothing less than the suicide of our species and a holocaust for millions of other hapless species that populate our severely damaged planet.

In the United States, George Bush presides over the decline of his own presidency. Every day, more popular support slips away from his enfeebled grasp. Every week sees the decline of the numbers of American citizens who approve of Bush’s calamitous presidency. Bush is now the most unpopular president in American history – and he is trending lower. In the United Kingdom, Tony Blair is the least popular Prime Minister in that nation’s history, and he is dropping lower. In Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad presides over a regime deeply unpopular with his own people, making him the weakest head of government since the fall of the Shah three decades ago. In Israel, Ehud Olmert’s popular support has now slipped to the nearly unbelievable level of precisely two percent – and he is trending lower still now bound for a darkening gehenna of political mortification, tribulation and ultimately death.

While Bush, Blair, Olmert and Ahmadinejad all claim to be legitimate leaders of their people, the opinions of the peoples they govern deny them and their policies any right to the mantle of democracy. The people of America, Britain, Iran and Israel yearn for peace, while their weak and unpopular leaders yearn for war that might miraculously resuscitate their terminal regimes. These weakened leaders are so separated from the will of the people that they have exerted themselves strenuously in pursuit of the opposite path to the popular will.

Bush has sent his armies into foreign lands; ignited waves of terrorism; inflamed tides of violence and unleashed the forces of theocratic madness in his own nation as well as launched theocratic violence across our planet. Tony Blair swiftly acquiesced to Bush’s madness for theocratic war, and he has paid the political price with the crushing disintegration of his career as Prime Minister. A man of myopic vision, Ehud Olmert led his nation into a war that it could not win, yet he forced his military to perform atrocities in pursuit of an implausible victory against a shimmering chimaera, a private security force armed with peashooters who stood in the gateway to Lebanon. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad wrote theocratic screeds to his sworn enemies and denied the proportions of the Holocaust while launching financial warfare against the richest and most powerful nations on earth. When Bush and Blair baited Ahmadinejad through their control of the UN Security Council, the Iranian president and his minions swiftly seized fifteen British sailors from two inflatable boats in the disputed twilight zone of the Shatt Al-Arab waterway to use them as human shields and bargaining chips with the great powers. This act of phenomenal stupidity and cowardice will now serve nicely as the casus belli, a necessary trigger for Bush and Blair and their collaborator, Olmert, to launch Armageddonite warfare against the Islamic Republic and summon their heretical theocratic Judaeo-Christian Apocalypse.

Tons of depleted uranium will be hurled into our atmosphere in the onslaught against Iran. This radioactive metal will disintegrate into minute particles that will be swept up into the winds and deposited over virtually every square centimeter of the surface of our sickened planet contaminating plants, animals and humans in a macabre plague of genetic warfare. Twisted chromosomes will produce monstrosities in the wombs of mothers giving birth to a generation of victims of the madness of 2007. Cancer rates will escalate, and diabetes will soar tormenting the lives of people isolated from power.

———–

Ever since America foisted nuclear technology on the Shah, Iran has been under attack biologically and politically. If Bush attacks Iran, a plume of radiation will spread across the planet. US depleted uranium bunker busters devastating world health in the last two decades are listed by the UN Human Rights Commission as Weapons of Indiscriminate Destruction, killing beyond the battlefield and beyond the end of the Solar System. US troops suffer a syndrome of revolving ill health that already afflicts over half the American veterans of nuclear war since 1991, a rate ten times that of the first World War and five times VietNam with Agent Orange exposure. Whereas total casualties in WWI were mainly combatants, today they are over 90% civilian. Poison gas weapons are banned under the 1925 Geneva Convention to which the US is signatory. American military actions under George Bush are high treason in violating US Constitutional obligations to uphold all lawful international treaties to which the US has agreed.

Representatives Want To Know From Their Constituents: Is it Time for Impeachment of Bush & Cheney? Act Now!

[Reddit or Hackers are knocking this post down. Try voting for it, and watch your vote instantaneously be nullified upon refreshing the page]A Coalition of the Willing to Impeach appears in Congress.
Anthony St. Martin of Pledge to Impeach http://pledgetoimpeach.org/

[…]Last Monday Rep. Danny Davis (D-IL 7th) stated to Pledge to Impeach spokesman Anthony St. Martin and independent reporter Jay Marx that though he currently defers to “leadership” on the issue of impeachment he would be compelled to represent his constituency if a Citizen’s Petition calling for the impeachment of George W. Bush came from his district. When word of Rep. Davis’ willingness to part from leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA 8th)’s insistence that impeachment be “off the table” was relayed to Rep. Diane Watson (D-CA 33rd)’s Chief of Staff, Jim Clarke, Mr. Clarke replied, also guardedly, but with certainty, that Rep. Watson would also represent such a petition coming from her constituency. Clarke even went as far as speaking for Rep. Conyers (D-MI 14th), whom he said would respond similarly to such a petition if it arrived with at least 1% of the district’s support. In other words, impeachment is just 6,500 petition signatures away from the floor of Congress.

It must be conveyed here, that Mr. St. Martin observed a prevailing tension or even fear in the eyes of some who work in the House Office Buildings. His feeling that those Members opposed to this administration have been locked up and suppressed to the point that they find no sense to bringing their own bill for impeachment, only to be defeated and further isolated, or worse. However, the statements of Mr. Davis and Clarke can be seen as a plea for help; that if given the chance to bring a citizen’s petition, these Members could claim that they have no choice but to fulfill their duty of office and bring it to the floor. As ironic as it may seem, WE must not let THEM down.

The Pledge to Impeach campaign has immediately taken it on to respond to these Member’s ovations by seeking out every political group or club that has been collecting petition signatures for impeachment and pairing them up with Congresspersons who make the same commitment to represent that petition on the floor. With special focus on, but not limited to the
districts of Davis, Watson, and Conyers, we will need our own coalition of citizens and impeachment groups willing to work together to bring our maligned Representatives what they need to fight for this greatest of causes. We may not have the same opportunity once war breaks out in Iran. We must act now. We must act together. And we must not fail. Contact us ASAP and join the Coalition of the Willing to Oppose Bush/Cheney.

FOCUS | US Death Toll in March Is Twice Iraq Forces
http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/040107Z.shtml
The US military death toll in March, the first full month of the security crackdown, was nearly twice that of the Iraqi army, which American and Iraqi officials say is taking the leading role in the latest attempt to curb violence in the capital, surrounding cities and Anbar province, according to figures compiled on Saturday.

FOCUS | Prosecutor Posts Go to Bush Insiders
http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/040107Y.shtml
About one-third of the nearly four dozen US attorney’s jobs that have changed hands since President Bush began his second term have been filled by the White House and the Justice Department with trusted administration insiders. Some lacked experience as prosecutors or had no connection to the districts in which they were sent to work, the records and biographical information show.

Whatever the immediate objective, Mr. Rove seems focused on one overarching goal: creating a permanent Republican majority.”

The force of the blast threw Reyes 20 feet and caused the ears of his comrades to bleed. The sergeant who found Reyes crawling on all fours with his skull hanging open saw Reyes’s helmet nearby. A shimmering liquid in it caught his attention; as he poured it out, he realized what it was: part of Reyes’s brain.

Transpartisan Coalition Rejects Mueller Testimony: Group calls on FBI, Congress to uphold the Constitution

Submitted by Michael D Ostrolenk on Sun, 2007-04-01 14:17.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
March 29, 2007

Transpartisan Coalition Rejects Mueller Testimony Group calls on FBI, Congress to uphold the Constitution

WASHINGTON, DC - The Liberty Coalition, a transpartisan public policy group dedicated to preserving the Bill of Rights, personal autonomy and individual privacy today rebuffed the testimony of Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director Robert Mueller regarding the illegal use of National Security Letters (NSL’s). Appearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Director Mueller acknowledged that laws had been broken but argued that future abuses could be prevented by internal means within the FBI.

“The FBI has clearly abused its power and violated the constitutional rights of tens of thousands of Americans. These actions must not be tolerated in a free society,” said Liberty Coalition national director Michael Ostrolenk. “While enhanced public scrutiny and Congressional oversight are a good first step, they are not enough to protect our Nation’s liberty from abusive, unchecked power. Congress must act to stop the issuance of National Security Letters!”

National Security Letters are a controversial part of the USA Patriot Act. Civil liberties advocates have long argued that these secret, coercive demands for privacy records violate fundamental privacy rights. They allow the FBI to require telephone companies, internet service providers, banks, credit bureaus, insurance companies and other businesses to produce highly personal records about their customers without any evidence the person whose records are demanded has done anything wrong and without any judicial or independent check to protect individual rights. NSL recipients are placed under gag order and have no recourse to object to the FBI demands under sharp penalty of law.

A recent audit by the Department of Justice found that FBI agents demanded individual’s personal data without proper authorization and improperly obtained telephone records under the guise of “emergency” in non-emergency circumstances. In addition, the FBI significantly underreported to Congress for three years how it forced businesses to turn over customer data. The Justice Department also misled the American people and Congress about the explosion in the use of these intrusive demands, at one point denying investigative reporting that over 30,000 requests had been made in a single year—this report documented that, in fact, over 50,000 had been made in a year for a total of almost 150,000 in a three year period.

In his testimony, Director Mueller suggested a potential openness to using Administrative Subpoenas in place of NSL’s. Administrative Subpoenas are similar to NSL’s, but have a very limited element of judicial oversight obtained after records have been obtained. Civil liberties advocates argue that the demands are also unconstitutional and are not an acceptable compromise.

“The choice between National Security Letters and Administrative Subpoenas is a false choice,” continued Ostrlolenk. “The Fourth Amendment demands a full and vigorous review of Executive power by the Judiciary. Both National Security Letters and Administrative Subpoenas are unconstitutional.”

Older news.. but interesting…
Lynda Wall’s IRS Battle and Counterfeit Securities

As you might know, the feisty Lynda Wall (paralegal at prodigy dot net - if you want her assistance) received a dismissal without prejudice in her dispute against the IRS over refusal to appear at the summons. Prepared to go to jail, she battled tooth and nail, and oh, did she prevail.

In case number 2:04-cv-05352-DDP-MAN, filed 7/14/2004, the IRS in USA v Lynda Wall sought from the US District Court in the Central District of California, Western Division (Los Angeles) an order for Lynda Wall to appear at an IRS summons under 26 USC 7402. The case mentioned the related case 2:03-cv-08406-DDP-MAN. The nature of the suit was “870 Taxes.” Attorneys Gregory E Van Hoey and Thomas D Coker represented the USA.

The docket shows that on 8/17/2004 the court ordered Lynda to show cause on 9/20/2004 why she should not be ordered to comply with the summons.

This seems more than a little stupid to me. The IRS, given its long history of criminal behavior, should have been ordered to show cause why she should comply with a summons.

On the 9/23/2004, the court rejected Lynda’s affidavit, claiming it was not legible, it did not have sufficient contact information, and no copy was provided for the judge. On the 29th, the court rejected Lynda’s second document because she sent it as a letter. On the same day, the judge issued an order enforcing the summons. On 4 October, Lynda sent the court notice of defective service. On 18 October she sent the IRS a cease and desist notice and demand.

On 1/20/2005 the DOJ applied Ex Parte to revise the summons order. Finally on 2/2/2005, the judge ordered Lynda to obey the revised order. On 2/25, Lynda served notice of lack of jurisdiction. On 3/25 the DOJ moved the court for an order finding Lynda in contempt. On 4/12/2005, Lynda filed her order to show cause and verified affidavit. On 4/25 the judge heard oral arguments on the contempt matte and set a status conference for 5/16/2005 and appoints a standby counsel for Lynda.

On 4/25/2005 Lynda filed her notice of fault/default/default judgment regarding subject matter jurisdiction, and on 4/26 she filed a notice of defective show cause order, with affidavit. On 4/28, the judge orders her notice rejected and not to be filed based on local rule 11-4.1, complaining she provided no copy for the judge.

On 5/2/2005, the judge ordered a civil contempt charge against Lynda and said she’d stay there till she appeared at the summons, gave testimony required by the IRS agents, and produced her books and records.

On 5/10/2005, Lynda filed her notice of criminal conspiracy by and between the officers of the court and the IRS.

Lynda refused to show up for the Status conference of 5/16/2005, so the judge issued a warrant for her arrest.

Lynda filed a notice of perpetual injunction, but on 5/17/2005 the judge rejected it for filing based on no signature page for the judge on the order, and a caption did not match the docket.

On 9/26/2005, the DOJ filed its notice of case status, and on 9/28/2005, the judge (Dean D. Pregerson) ordered the action DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE and the ARREST WARRANT WITHDRAWN.

On 9/27/2005, Lynda sent the following letter to the judge, but he rejected it because he had already dismissed the case against her. He did not want such damning evidence in the record. Read the below letter and you’ll see why.

Truly, sincerely, and without prejudice (UCC 1-308),

RE: United States of America ‘. Lynda Wall, CV 04-5352-DDP* (MANx) in United States District Court. Central District of California. Western Division.

Subject: NOTICE OF COUNTERFEIT SECURITIES

1. Counterfeit Security Form 2039 Summons of 02/11/04:
2. Counterfeit Security Declaration of Shereen Hawkins: 04/13/04;
3. Counterfeit Security Petition to Enforce Summons, 07/14/04;
4. Counterfeit Security Order to Show Cause, (not dated, not signed, no court seal);
5. Counterfeit Security Order of Civil Contempt 05/02/05; and
6. Counterfeit Security Warrant for Arrest, 05/16/2005

Dear Attorney General Gonzales:

You are hereby put on NOTICE pursuant to Title 18 USC § 4 of the commission of crimes cognizable by a court of the United States under Title 18 USC §513 to wit: “513(a) Whoever makes, utters or possesses a counterfeited security of a State or a political subdivision thereof or of an organization, or whoever makes, utters or possesses a forged security of a State or political subdivision thereof or of an organization, with intent to deceive another person, organization, or government shall be fined not more than $250,000 or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both”.

See also Sections 2311, 2314 and 2320 for additional fines and sanctions. Among the securities defined at 18 USC § 2311 is included “evidence of indebtedness” which, in a broad sense, may mean anything that is due and owing which would include a duty, obligation or right of action.

The above referenced documents qualify as “counterfeited securities” in that the
makers have stated them to have been officially signed and sealed as valid claims of a duty, obligation or right of action owed by Lynda Wall to the United States of America by the following:

1. Summons
2. Declaration by Shereen Hawkins, Revenue Agent
3. Petition to Enforce Summons by Debra W. Yang, United States Attorney, (acting through Thomas 0. Coker and Sandra R. Brown, Assistant United States Attorneys, and Gregory E. Van Hoe, Trial Attorney) and
4. Order to Show Cause by Gregory E. Van Hoey, Trial Attorney and alleged Judge Dean O. Pregerson.
5. Order to Civil Contempt by alleged Judge Dean D. Pregerson and Gregory Van Hoey, Trial Attorney;
6. Warrant for Arrest by alleged Judge Dean D. Pregerson; Sherri R. Carter, Clerk of Court; and John Chambers, Deputy Clerk.

All the above referenced documents are counterfeit securities because they do not evidence both the Internal Revenue Code statutes(s) and the enforcement regulation(s) as required by law.

Congress has enacted five very specific mandatory protections to prevent the unlawful imposition of the Internal Revenue Code upon non-regulated activities, evens and commodities, to wit:

1. All information gathering forms must have an approved Form Number;
2. The Form Number must: display an approved and active OMB Control Number;
3. The OMB Number must identify the CFR Part which is the specific type of tax;
4. The type of tax must identify the Regulation promulgated by the Secretary of Treasury; and
5. The Regulation must enforce (put into force) the specific statute of the IRC.

Since regulations may be directive (voluntary) or mandatory, the CFR Parallel Table of Authorities lists the enforcement (mandatory) federal regulation; all others are directory and may be ignored.

The IRS Notice 609 “Privacy Act Notice” states as follows:

“Our legal right to ask for information is Internal Revenue Code sections 6001, 6011, and 6012 (a) and their regulation… and whether your response is voluntary (directory) or mandatory under the law.” (Emphasis added)

“That body of law which codifies all federal tax laws including income, estate, stamp, gift excise, etc, taxes. Such laws comprise Title 26 United States Code, and are implemented by Treasury Regulations and Revenue Rulings.” (Emphasis added) IRC Black’s 5Th Ed. Page 732.

Pursuant to Title 26 USC §7805(a), “regulations for the enforcement of this title”, and in the case of Lynda Wall, IRS has no authority of law, which would allow them to place into evidence a “Summons” Form 2039, pursuant to Tile 26 USC §7602. This procedure is only allowed under the excise tax law procedure where there exists a contract and registration by application for the special privilege of being allowed to operate in that special business, and therefore a summary judgment procedure is allowed. If one checks the manuals from the government printing office you will find under Title 26 CFR, “Federal Regulations” that every subject matter of tax has its own 26 IRC §6001, et seq., Sections for procedure. This cannot be mixed with any other subject tax matters of procedure because that would make law “arbitrary and capricious”.

Perhaps this point is more strongly made in California Banker’s Assoc. v Schultz, 416 US 21; 38 L.Ed. 2d 820, where the government argued;

“We think it important to note that the Act’s civil and criminal penalties attached only violation of regulations promulgated by the Secretary: if the Secretary were to do nothing, the Act itself would impose no penalties on anyone. And at 830 L.ED. 2d: “… the actual implementation of the statute by the Treasury Regulation. The Government urges that since only those who violate these regulations may incur civil or criminal penalties. It is the actual regulations issued by the Secretary of Treasu1y, and not the broad authorizing language of the statute, which are to be tested against the Fourth Amendment; and that when so tested they are valid”. And further at 831; “The I7ternal Revenue code, for example, contains general records to be kept by both business and individual taxpayers, 26 USC §6001, which have been implemented by the .Secretary in various regulations”.

Since the Government seems to be unfamiliar with the CFR’s, I am providing you with some of the Enforcement Regulations of the IRC, to wit:

FEDERAL REGISTER

7603 Service of Summons 27 CFR Part 70
7604 Enforcement of Summons 27 CFR Part 70
7ô05 Time and Place for Examination 27 CFR Part 70

NOTE. 27 CFR is for Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, not income or employment taxes.

It is obvious that the whole action in the case of United States of America, Petitioner, vs. Lynda Wall, Respondent is predicated upon the use of the statute in Title 26 §7602 and the Treasury Regulations §301.7602-I and 26 FR 301.7602-1 as stated on page 2 of the Counterfeit Security Petition to Enforce Internal Revenue Service Summons. Since the Federal Register 1993 CR Index, Statute and CFR Table of Authorities shows that the only Enforcement Regulations pursuant to Title 26 USC §7401, Judicial Proceedings Authorization, §7604, Enforcement of Summons, and §7602, Examination of Books and Records is predicated on Enforcement Regulations promulgated pursuant to the power and authority of 27 FR Part 70 (Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives), then it is clear that unless the acts and actions of the above named federal government officials, employees, agents, and public officers are predicated upon some material facts that show that Lynda Wall is engaged in federally taxable or federally regulated activities, commodities or events pursuant to 27 CFR Part 70, the acts and actions of the above named Government agents and officials are based upon false premises and Counterfeit Securities.

Lynda Wall is NOT engaged in federally regulated activities, events or commodities under 27 FR Part 70 within reason and belief. Therefore, it is reasonable to presume that Form 2039 Summons. 02/11/04; the Declaration of Shereen Hawkins, 04/13/04; the Petition to Enforce Summons, 07/14/04; the Order to Show Cause, (not dated, not signed by the alleged Judge, no court seal); Order of Civil Contempt, 05/02/05; and Warrant for Arrest (civil contempt), 05/16/05 are all Counterfeit Securities designed to perpetrate a constructive fraud upon Lynda Wall.

It is clear from the actions of the above named federal government officials, employees, agents, and public officers that they have acted above and beyond their scope of authority by placing into the public record unsubstantiated claims against Lynda Wall which they knew or should have known to be false because said claims were required by law to convey subject matter jurisdiction for the particular regulated activity that is being alleged to have created a duty, obligation or right of action to the United States of America.

The Summons signed by Ms. Shereen Hawkins on 02/11/04 is a fraud and counterfeit security claimed to be issued under the authority of the Internal Revenue Code. It does not list either the statutory or the regulatory authority even though both are required by law to identify the particular regulated activity that Lynda Wall is alleged to be engaged in, thus the instrument is counterfeit,

The Declaration signed by Ms. Shereen Hawkins on 04/13/04, under penalty of perjury, is totally false and a constructive fraud since none of the information constitutes prima fade evidence unless the enforcement regulations that identify the particular type of activity being reported is also placed into evidence. There simply are no evidentiary facts here. Ms. Hawkins has lied and perpetrated a constructive fraud under oath as she has not identified any regulated activity concerning Lynda Wall; her Declaration is a counterfeit security.

The Petition to Enforce Summons signed by Gregory E. Van Hoey on 07/14/04 and presumed to be under oath is also totally false and a constructive fraud. Mr. Van Hoey has made a very feeble attempt to justify his actions by placing into evidence 26 CFR 301.7602-1. This is a moot regulation because it also requires the evidence of the regulation for the particular type of tax (see 26 CFR §6001-1 and 301.6011-1). A check of the above listing of enforcement regulations will reveal that 26 USC §7402(b), 7602 and 7604(a) have nothing to do with Income Taxes, Employment Taxes or Lynda Wall under Title 26 USC and 26 CFR. Mr. Van Hoey’s Petition is a counterfeit security.

The Order to Show Cause by Gregory E. Van Hoey is a counterfeit security and constructive fraud The Gregory E:. Van Hoey knew or should have known that the Petition did not contain both the statutes and the regulations required by law to impose a duty or obligation upon Lynda Wall to appear by law to impose a duty or obligation upon Lynda Wall to appear before a United States district Court and produce books and records pursuant to regulations promulgated under 27 CFR Part 70, Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, when there is no foundational evidence to support: that Lynda Wall is engaged in a federally regulated activity, event or commodity pursuant to said statutes and regulations. Gregory E. Van Hoey knew or should have known that the Order to Show Cause was void and defective since it lacks the evidence of the court seal, is not dated by and not signed by alleged Judge Dean D. Pregerson

The Order of Civil Contempt by alleged Judge Dean D. Pragerson and Gregory E. Van Hoey on 05/02/05 is a counterfeit security and constructive fraud. The alleged Judge knew or should have known that the Order to Show Cause was defective since Lynda Wall’s Proof of Service regarding the Verified Notice of Missing or Defective Order to Show Cause was served on 04/23/2005. See Item #31 of the Docket Report. Mr. Van Hoey, who prepared the Order of Civil Contempt, has lied and perpetrated a constructive fraud as he perjured himself by stating on pace 2 that Lynda Wall not file any response to the motion prior to the hearing. See Item #28 of the Docket Report which clearly shows Lynda Wall did timely file a Notice of Reliance Upon Alibi Justification on 04/12/05 to the Order to Show Cause.

The Warrant for Arrest by alleged Judge Dean D. Pregerson, Sherri R. Carter, Clerk of Court; and John Chambers, Deputy Clerk on 05/16/05 is a counterfeit security and a constructive fraud since none of the information constitutes prima facie evidence unless the enforcement regulations that identify both the statutes and the regulations required by law to impose a duty or obligation upon Lynda Wall to appear by law to impose a duty or obligation upon Lynda Wall to appear before a United States district Court and produce books and records pursuant to regulations promulgated under 27 CFR Part 70, Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, when there is no foundational evidence to support that Lynda Wall is engaged in a federally regulated activity, event or commodity pursuant to said statutes and regulations. The alleged Judge, the Clerk of Court and the Deputy Clerk knew or should have known that the Warrant for Arrest was void since it lacks the evidence of the specific Title violation and it lacks the evidence of the specific United States Code Section(s) violation.

It would be impossible or Lynda Wall to prove she did not engage in some federally regulated activity, event or commodity when the Government and the above named Government officials, agents, employees, and public officers have not alleged or produced evidence that Lynda Wall has engaged in a federally regulated activity, event or commodity under the statutes and CFR Regulations of 27 FR Part 70 associated with 26 USC §7401, 7602, 7603 and 7604. One can not prove a negative. It is the duty and obligation for the Government to produce evidence of a positive. Therefore, the Order to Show Cause (absent a court seal, not dated by and not signed by alleged Judge Dean D. Pregerson) is a counterfeit security and constructive fraud in that Lynda Wall can not be made to show Cause as to why she did not violate CFR regulations which either do not exist or do not apply to Lynda Wall pursuant to the evidence and instruments before the court in action CV 04-05352-DDP (MANx) in the Central District of California District Court, Western Division.

The IRS Publication 5 states that the nonresident alien (dejure state Citizen) has no remedy before the United States District Court or the Tax Court. They must go to the U S. Court of Claims for the District of Columbia or the united States District Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia. Lynda Wall is not and has not intended to be a federal State citizen or Resident as set forth and defined in the Buck Act, Title 4 USC §105-110.

Lynda Wall does not support the federal international bankruptcy declared legislatively by HJR-192, passed by Congress in 1933 and declared judicially by the United States Supreme Court in Erie Railway v. Tompkins 1939. Lynda Wall does not support the federal 51 shadow States that have taken over the de jure state functions since the 1930’s. Lynda Wall does not reside in, nor has been a citizen or resident of, the federal shadow State of California, Lynda Wall does not live in the federal territory of the Central District of California, a federal area created out of thin air by the Buck Act and other legislation that has usurped power and authority from de jure Government.

Before any agent, official, employee or public officer of the United States or one of the federal 51 shadow States created to impersonate the 50 de jure states (See definitions in 31 CFR Part. 1, Sections 51.2 and 52.2) acts upon the declared status of Lynda Wall, Su Juris, as that of ‘”non-resident alien” to the Corporate Federal “United States”, such agent, official, employee or public officer is directed to take Judicial Notice of St.Louis Park Medical Center v. Lethert, 286 F. Sup. 271 and 28 USC §2201.

All IRS agents and United States Courts are thus barred from making a “status determination” with regard to federal income taxes and federal income tax laws. Consequently, if IRS agents and Courts are barred from declaring Lynda Wall, Sui iuris, a “taxpayer”, this is prima fade evidence that the federal income tax is voluntary. Wherefore, both IRS agents and United States Courts lack jurisdiction and the declared status of the Accused must be accepted.

Lynda Wall is not a “person” as defined in Title 26 USC §7343 as one upon whom the District Court has jurisdiction to bring an enforcement action and a summons pursuant to 26 §7402(a) and (b). 26 USC §7343 defines the term “Person” to include “an officer or employee of a corporation, or a member or employee of a partnership, who as such officer, employee, or member is under a duty to perform the act in respect of which the violation occurs”, The only mandatory duty and obligation under law is that promulgated pursuant to 27 FP Part 70. Lynda Wall has no nexus to that regulation shown in the counterfeit securities presented by the Government agents herein.

DEMAND is hereby made on you, Alberta Gonzales, United States Attorney General, to investigate the above named government officials, employees, agents, and public officers for creating, using and promoting fraudulent and counterfeit securities in a fraudulent scheme in order to solicit Lynda Wall by duress and coercion into participating in a scheme to produce books and records from her in excess than those authorized by law in violation of Title 26 USC §7433 for damages caused by agents, officers, and employees acting recklessly and intentionally in excess of statutory provisions and regulatory provisions of Title 26 USC.

Further DEMAND is made, pursuant to Title 26 USC §7401, for the production of the signed delegation of authority from the Secretary of the Treasury of the United States which authorizes or sanctions the proceedings against me by the above named government officials, employees, agents, and public officers. Please send me a copy of the signed delegation of authority from you, the Attorney General of the United States or your delegate directing the action against me to be commenced.

The above demands are made pursuant to the statutes and regulations under Title 26 USC and the other laws and statutes of the United States, including, but not limited to, the Uniform Commercial code, §3-501.

Attorney General !! l am sure that if I were suspected of counterfeiting the securities of the United States, a full battle dressed SWAT team would invade my private dwelling, kidnap me into United States federal jurisdiction, arrest me, and prosecute me to the full extent of the law.

I hereby DEMAND that you honor your oath of office to defend and support the Constitution for the de jure united States of America (if you still are loyal to that entity). In so doing, I DEMAND that you investigate the illegal acts of the above named United States officials, employees, agents, and public officers and cause to issue indictments and prosecute all suspected parties for the counterfeiting of the securities of the United States, pursuant to 18 USC 4 and 18 USC 513; and also to investigate, indict, and prosecute all violations by the above named United States officials, employees, agents, and public officers for violation of 26 USC statutes concerning their attempts to coerce me into producing books and records under threat of incarceration, but not allowed by statute and regulation.

In the alternative, if you are unwilling or unable to investigate, indict, or prosecute the above named individuals, identify the lawful reasons why and relate said reasons to me in writing within 20 days from receipt of this letter. When you need longer than 20 days to respond, send me a written request for an extension of time within the 20 days and it will be given to you. Failure to respond to this request timely and upon the merits of this demand and inquiry will be prima facie evidence that the United States Government and its agents, employees and officials are engaged in an ongoing constructive fraud against me to deprive me of my unalienable rights from God.

I, Lynda Wall, declare under penalties of perjury under the laws of these united States of America that the foregoing is true and correct to the best of my knowledge, is made in good faith and is admitted when not rebutted.

Lynda Wall, non-federal State citizen

Neo-Con: ‘Execute Rosie For Questioning the Government’
Feverish MSNBC guest calls for death penalty to stop free speech

Paul Joseph Watson
Prison Planet
Friday, March 30, 2007

Frothing bloodthirsty Neo-Con TV talking heads have crossed the line in their response to Rosie O’Donnell’s comments on The View, with one MSNBC guest calling for O’Donnell to be executed for questioning the U.S. government.

Maniacal Neo-Con attack dogs cannot debate Rosie O’Donnell on a level playing field about the issues she raises on her show and therefore always have to resort to ad hominem name calling, demands that she be fired and as was broadcast last night, public calls for her to be hanged.

Actor and radio host Danny Bonaduce, appearing as a guest last night on MSNBC’s Scarborough Country, hosted by former Republican Congressman Joe Scarborough, advocated the death penalty in response to Rosie O’Donnell’s statements about the Iran hostage crisis and her questioning the official story behind 9/11.

“Personally I think at this point if anyone had a rope thick enough, I think that Rosie should be strung up for treason,” states Bonaduce, claiming that O’Donnell is giving “aid and comfort to the enemy.”

Bonaduce was quick to cry foul after claiming his own family had received death threats after he appeared in a You Tube video being asked about 9/11 conspiracies, but it seems he has no qualms about advocating the murder of Rosie O’Donnell.

The Secret Government - 21 min
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8536707153900925247
Bill Moyers, the respected TV journalist, analyzes the threats to constitutional government posed by an illegitimate network of “superpatriots”, spies, profiteers, mercenaries and ex-generals. His documentary gives a fascinating overview of what has actually happened in the last 50 years regarding the CIA and the Cold War (including Iran, Guatamala, Cuba, Vietnam and Chile). He features such people as Ralph McGeehee and Phil Retinger (both former CIA agents), Rear Admiral Gene La Rocque (Ret. U.S.N.), Theodore Bissell (active in the CIA at the time), Sen. Frank Church and many others.

Time profile asserted that 9-11 gave Giuliani “automatic standing” on terrorism

A profile of former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R) in the April 2 issue of Time magazine (posted March 21 on the Time website) referred to Giuliani as “America’s mayor” and the “rock of 9/11,” and further asserted that the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, were “Giuliani’s finest hour” and gave him “automatic standing” on the issue of terrorism. But the article, written by David Von Drehle, made no mention of allegations that Giuliani was responsible for terrorism-related failures before, during, and after the 9-11 attacks.

Checkpoint sticks in Forks’ craw
By Danny Westneat
Seattle Times staff columnist

The old logging town of Forks is filled with independent-minded folks who “live in the middle of nowhere. And want to keep it that way,” jokes the mayor.

So it didn’t go over so well when the feds showed up last week and, in the name of fighting terrorism, made locals vouch for their citizenship. “It has created a lot of turmoil out here,” says Nedra Reed, mayor of the town of 3,200 on the far side of the Olympic Peninsula.

Starting at 8 a.m. last Thursday, federal Border Patrol agents blocked the highway outside town. For four hours, every car, truck and bus driving south on Highway 101 was pulled off the road and all passengers questioned.

Layla Iranshad, 27, was headed to her job at Peninsula College. She says the agent asked her if she was a U.S. citizen (yes, she answered), then asked where she was born.

“I said in England. Then he asked how I got my citizenship. He also wanted to know where I lived and where I was going.

“It freaked me out. Since when in this country do we get stopped on the street and questioned about our citizenship?”

U.S. Customs and Border Protection announced last week it will stop drivers at a series of random checkpoints on the Olympic Peninsula in the coming months.

Iran: Attack Fears Spurred Nuclear Block
http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/033007R.shtml
Iran, in a confidential letter posted Friday on an internal Web site of the UN nuclear monitor, said its fear of attack from the US and Israel prompted its decision to withhold information from the agency. In the letter, Iran said the UN’s International Atomic Energy Agency had repeatedly allowed confidential information crucial to the country’s security to be leaked.

The New York Times | Story Time in the Senate
http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/033007B.shtml
The New York Times editors examine the latest testimony in the US attorney firings: “In his Senate testimony yesterday, Kyle Sampson, the former chief of staff to Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, tried to be a ‘loyal Bushie,’ a term Mr. Sampson used in his infamous email message to describe what he was looking for in United States attorneys. But if Mr. Sampson was trying to fall on his sword, he had horrible aim. In testimony that got so embarrassing for the White House that the Republicans tried to cut it off, Mr. Sampson simply ended up making it clearer than ever that the eight prosecutors were fired for political reasons.”

Tony Karon | Condi’s Free Ride

Tony Karon addresses the US media’s treatment of the diplomatic meandering of the secretary of state: “Mainstream US media outlets were alone in their willingness to swallow the preposterous narratives offered by Rice’s State Department spinners on the significance of her latest diplomatic efforts. For months, we have been reading a fantasy version of American diplomacy in which Rice was at the center of a realignment of forces in the Middle East, building a united front of Arab moderates to stand alongside the US and Israel against Iran and other ‘extremist’ elements.”

Giuliani Faces Questions About 9/11
http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/033007L.shtml
Rudy Giuliani’s White House aspirations are inescapably tied to September 11, 2001 - for better and for worse. While the former mayor of the nation’s largest city was widely lionized for his post-9/11 leadership - “Churchillian” was one adjective and “America’s mayor” was Oprah Winfrey’s assessment - city firefighters and their families are renewing their attacks on him for his performance before and after the terrorist attack.

Recommended by list members… BOOKS, MOVIES

Here are six book shows that are available streaming on the internet (or on cable TV). Unlike the first four, that must be seen at the designated times, the Hedges & Sonnenfeldt shows are both available “streaming” at any time. (1) go to www.C-Span.org, (2) then TV Programs, (3) then Book TV (hit Saturday or Sunday), (4) then in “Past & Future shows” bring up the past weekend with “O.K.”, and (5) select either show and hit “watch” for either presentation (Real-Player is my preference).

I am writing to tell you of a book I just finished "The Shadows of Power: The Council on Foreign Relations and the American Decline" by James Perloff, Wester Islands Publishers, Appleton, Wisconsin, copyright 1988. The Trilateral Commission (TC) is just another arm of the CFR. This book is out-of-print, last printed in March 1994 (eight printing). http://www.amazon.com/Shadows-Power-Council-Relations-American/dp/0882791346

Like low doses of biologically active substances, radiation affects living systems with maximum effect at different intensities separated by ‘dead zones’ where there is no effect. Bibliography of the article contains 196 references.
Available from Trafford: http://www.trafford.com/06-2849

Genetic information carries four fundamental programs of life: development, maintenance, reproduction, and death, but these programs operate not on a chemical level, i.e., not by direct chemical interactions with genes. Dr. Craig Venter very thoughtfully mentioned this at the TV announcement of the deciphering of the human genome in 2000. This ?different level of organization?? the Biofield Control System (BCS) of the organism ? is a hierarchical structure that includes the whole organism, organs, tissues and cells. It also includes the mind (at the organism level) that materializes all fundamental programs of life in behavior.
Ignoring the role of the BCS impairs biomedical science and pharmacology and consequently the social health care system. But the root of the problem is in the insufficiency of contemporary Newtonian physics which does not have any concept of the physical interactions responsible for emergence and existence of life.
The book suggests some ways to approach the problem. It consists of three parts: I ? Concept of the biofield control system, its structure and its history; II ? Experimental observations, and III ? Alternative physical models.
The concept of the biofield has a century-long history. It was engendered by developmental biologists in opposition to the strictly genetic, biochemical approach (Prof. L. Beloussov, Moscow State University with a Commentary by American Professors J. Opitz and S. Gilbert) and was independently introduced by the Romanian biochemist E. Machovschi in the 1950s ? 1970s as the ?biostructure? (Prof. G. Drochioui, Romanian University). The structure of the BCS and its function suggest that the physical carrier of the BCS cannot be reduced to any of the currently known fundamental physical interactions (S. Savva).
Experimental observations include confirmation of the biological nuclear synthesis introduced by Louis?Kervran (Dr. A. Kornilova, Moscow State University, and Prof. V. Vysotsky, Ukraine State University); water interaction with hydrophobic liquids (S. Savva); paradoxical effects of super low doses of biologically active substances on living systems (Prof. E. Burlakova et al. Institute of Biochemical Physics, Russian Academy of Sciences); and communications between living systems (Prof. J. Kiang, Walter Read Army Institute of Research and C. Backster, Backster Foundation). These observations indicate that the physical carrier (or carriers) of BCS must have both energy and informational qualities and that it is (they are) capable of interacting with the currently known fundamental physical forces.
Alternative theoretical physical models presented and referred to in the book reveal the inadequacy of the current scientific paradigm (Dr. J. Bockris and Dr. H. Puthoff), suggest a five-dimensional space-time model (J. Beichler), an eleven-dimensional space-time model (Prof. W. Tiller) and a concept of stable structures in superfluid vacuum (Dr. N. Sotina, Moscow State University).

WTC Blueprints Leaked by Whistleblower
Unseen documents show official investigations used flawed construction details

Steve Watson
Infowars.net
Wednesday, March 28, 2007

A whistleblower that was on a team working for Silverstein Group in 2002 has made public an extensive set of detailed architectural drawings of the World Trade Center, that prove beyond any doubt that the official reports into the collapse of the towers misrepresented their construction.

The documents were passed to physics Professor Steven Jones, formerly of Brigham Young University, who has done extensive research into the collapse of the buildings and contends that explosives were used to bring them down.

Little is known about the identity of the whistleblower at this point, however the blueprints provided consist of 261 drawings included detailed plans for the North Tower (WTC 1), the World Trade Center foundation and basement, and the TV mast on top of the North Tower.

Most of the drawings can be viewed here:
http://911research.wtc7.net/wtc/evidence/plans/frames.html

The blueprints, unlike those of any other publicly funded building, have been withheld from public view since the 9/11 attacks without explanation and were even unavailable for viewing by the team of engineers from the American Society of Civil Engineers, who were assembled to investigate the collapses by FEMA, until they had signed legal documents which bound them to secrecy and demanded that they never use the information against the buildings’ owners as part of a lawsuit.

The website 911research.wtc7.net, one of the sites at the forefront of independent investigation into 9/11 for years now, states:

The detailed architectural drawings make clear what official reports have apparently attempted to hide: that the Twin Towers had massive core columns, and those columns ran most of the height of each Tower before transitioning to columns with smaller cross-sections.
Both of the government-sponsored engineering studies of the Twin Towers’ “collapses” — FEMA’s and NIST’s — are highly misleading about the core structures. Neither Report discloses dimensions for core columns — dimensions that are clearly evident in the architectural drawings. Both Reports use a variety of techniques seemingly designed to minimize the strength of the cores or to conceal their structural role entirely.

9/11 and the Evidence
Professor David Ray Griffin is the nemesis of the official 9/11 conspiracy theory. In his latest book, “Debunking 9/11 Debunking,” Griffin destroys the credibility of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and Popular Mechanics reports, annihilates his critics, and proves himself to be a better scientist and engineer than the defenders of the official story.

Griffin’s book is 385 pages divided into four chapters and containing 1,209 footnotes. Without question, the book is the most thorough presentation and examination of all known facts about the 9/11 attacks. Griffin is a person who is sensitive to evidence, logic and scientific reasoning. There is no counterpart on the official side of the story who is as fully informed on all aspects of the attacks as Griffin.

At the outset, Griffin points out that the reader’s choice is between two conspiracy theories: One is that Muslim fanatics, who were not qualified to fly airplanes, defeated the security apparatus of the United States and succeeded in three out of four attacks using passenger jets as weapons. The other is that security failed across the board, not merely partially but totally, because of complicity of some part of the U.S. government.

Griffin points out that there has been no independent investigation of 9/11. What we have are a report by a political commission headed by Bush administration factotum Philip Zelikow, a NIST report produced by the Bush administration’s Department of Commerce and a journalistic account produced by Popular Mechanics. Various scientists who work for the federal government or are dependent on government grants have issued speculative statements in behalf of the official conspiracy theory, but have not produced meaningful evidence in its behalf.

The relevant skeptics of the official story are approximately 100 independent researchers consisting of experts and professors whose careers have required them to deal with evidence and its analysis. Their individual contributions to 9/11 analyses can be found online.

Griffin has undertaken to absorb the arguments and evidence for the official account and the arguments and evidence against it. In his latest book, which has just been released, he presents the case for the official account and its evidential failure.

Polls show that 36 percent of Americans do not believe the official story. Setting aside the 25 percent of the public that is so uninformed or uninvolved as to believe that Saddam Hussein was responsible for the 9/11 attack leaves 39 percent of the public who believe the official story. However, this 39 percent is essentially relying on the mainstream media’s endorsement of the official story. Griffin believes, perhaps naively, that truth can prevail, and it is his commitment to truth that has motivated him to shoulder the enormous task.

Was The British-Iranian Hostage Crisis Staged?

Surfing the Apocalypse
Thursday, March 29, 2007

Many of you may be rightly highly suspicious of the timing of all this.

Evidently it appears that there is far more to this so called British hostage capture crisis than what has thus far been reported by virtually all of the MSM.

In a very revealing analytical studio commentary on The BBC’s Newsnight programme last night: Diplomatic Editor: Mark Urban demonstrated to Host: Jeremy Paxman: that the video footage released by the Iranians yesterday - of those 15 British service personnel being “captured” - seems to have been FAKED in large part!

He also went on to illustrate how viritually inconceivable it is that such an event (like the alleged “ambush” of British Military personnel by the Iranians) could actually happen: given the fact that the area of water where this event supposedly took place was well within the Radar Scope of HMS Cornwall (not to mention a whole host of other vessels: WHICH WERE ALL MYSTERIOUSLY ABSENT at the moment when the Iranian interception party appeared on the scene!)

From this both he & show Host Jeremy Paxman conclude that The Royal Navy were (at the very least!) grossly negligent in their duty of policing The Shat Al Arab/International Waterways (hence their clamour to blitz the Media with “evidence” of their “innocence”.)

It is when one considers the implications of what The BBC are getting at (but not saying directly!) that one realizes this entire thing may have really been a deliberate SET UP: i.e. either a TRAP laid by The British for The Iranians to fall into, or (even more mind bogglingly!) a TRAP laid by The British AND The Iranians (together with everyone else within The NWO Club) for The World to fall into!!!

Watch the requisite report from the aforementioned Newsnight programme, and judge for yourselves:

U.S. Attorney Firings Exposes Rough Justice
Tuesday, 27 March 2007, 10:45 am
Opinion: Michael Collins

Michael Collins
“Scoop” Independent News
Washington, D.C.
There’s a new clue to the motivation behind the recent firing of federal prosecutors. Reporters Gordon, Talev and Taylor of McClatchy Newspapers established a likely relationship between the post 2000 hard right turn in civil rights policies at the Department of Justice and the promotion of the new cadre of right wing U.S. Attorneys who support restricting voter eligibility. Karl Rove’s own words on the subject indicate a further connection between recent appointments in nine states where very tight Congressional races were anticipated
The Bush Justice Department is imploding after years of consistently undermining the rights and freedoms of those citizens it claims to serve. From the Patriot Act to the unfettered sadism endorsed at White House inspired and sponsored torture centers around the world, the Justice Department stands with the White House. It provides a fig leaf of legal justification for the various adventures which involve war, death a suffering.
Politicians and officials are taking cover from the dangerous debris of the fired federal prosecutor’s scandal. The legislative craftsman who allowed Bush to perform the previously barred dismissals, Sen. Arlen Specter (R-PA), is now openly critical of the firings. The Democrats on Capitol Hill are uniquely focused in their demands that Gonzales go. Even Cong. Tom Tancredo (R-CO), a rabid right wing opponent of immigration, called on Bush to fire Gonzales.

More than half of the new money was provided through a post-9/11 Defense Department program - Coalition Support Funds - not closely tracked by Congress.

Operation Bite: April 6 sneak attack by US forces against Iran planned, Russian military sources warn

Mon, 26 Mar 2007 12:37:00

By Webster G. Tarpley (http://onlinejournal.com/artman/publish/article_1888.shtml)

Webster G. Tarpley is a journalist. Among other works, he has published an investigation on the manipulation of the Red Brigades by the Vatican’s P2 Suite and the assassination of Aldo Moro, a non-authorized biography of George H. Bush, and more recently an analysis of the methods used to perpetrate the September 11, 2001 attacks.

WASHINGTON DC, — The long awaited US military attack on Iran is now on track for the first week of April, specifically for 4 am on April 6, the Good Friday opening of Easter weekend, writes the well-known Russian journalist Andrei Uglanov in the Moscow weekly “Argumenty Nedeli.” Uglanov cites Russian military experts close to the Russian General Staff for his account.

Easter Surprise: Attack on Iran, New 9/11… or Worse

by Heather Wokusch

“There’s an old saying in Tennessee — I know it’s in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can’t get fooled again.” – George W. Bush, September 2002

“This notion that the United States is getting ready to attack Iran is simply ridiculous… Having said that, all options are on the table.” - George W. Bush, February 2005

The Bush administration continues moving closer to a nuclear attack on Iran, and we ignore the obvious buildup at our peril.

Russian media are sounding alarms. In February, ultra-nationalist leader Vladimir Shirinovsky warned that the US would launch a strike against Tehran at the end of this month. Then last week, the Russian News and Information Agency Novosti (RIA-Novosti) quoted military experts predicting the US will attack Iran on April 6th, Good Friday. According to RIA-Novosti, the imminent assault will target Iranian air and naval defense capabilities, armed forces headquarters as well as key economic assets and administration headquarters. Massive air strikes will be deployed, possibly tactical nuclear weapons as well, and the Bush administration will attempt to exploit the resulting chaos and political unrest by installing a pro-US government.

Sound familiar? It’s Iraq déjà vu all over again, and we know how well that war has gone.

Seymour Hersh has published numerous articles in The New Yorker detailing the Bush administration’s plans to invade Iran. His latest, “The Redirection,” discusses US participation in Iran-based clandestine operations, the kidnapping of hundreds of Iranians (including many “humanitarian and aid workers”) by US forces and the shocking revelation that an Iran-Contra-type scandal has been run out of Vice President Dick Cheney’s office with some of the illicit funds going to groups “sympathetic to al-Qaeda.”

April 6, Operation Bite - The World Press as a Concern Troll
by pinche tejano

Mon Mar 26, 2007 at 10:25:38 AM PDT

So I long ago gave up on American media to give me up to the minute details of what our government is up to. Luckily, I speak more languages than the Pope’s got Catholics which is why this Easter I am concerned. Very concerned that Bush is about to wag the tail clean off the dog.

All the rage on Italian and German newspaper sites and blogs is the our, i.e. The American Government’s bombing operation for Iran scheduled for April 6, Good Friday of Easter of this year.

For those who speak German:
http://www.berlinerumschau.com/…

For those who speak Italian:
http://www.bloo.it/…

For those who speak French:
http://fr.rian.ru/…

For Americans who only speak English, see below the fold:

pinche tejano’s diary :: ::
So I read in shock about how the rest of the world seems to know about this, but America is all about the autopsy reports of Anne Nicole Smith. And even the politicos in this country are more concerned with the firings of lawyers than that our country is on a imperialistic rampage that would make even Roma at its height blush.

I agree, since last November, it has been bad news day after bad news day for the Bush Administration, which is why I was wondering it took them so long to finally get the saber out on Iran. They need this war, to distract you from all their scandals, and scandals to come. Trust me, the AG fiasco is just the tip of this croynocracy, and sadly even the devil himself is embarrassed about how far down this rabbit hole goes.

So, get the dog out, and grab it by its tail for one last great wag that should do nicely till 2008. Yes, the Bush Administrations new plan is to run out the clock till the next election. But now there is concern they might accidentally run out the doomsday clock.

From California to Florida, a string of Creation “Science” museums are springing up across the country as part of the Christian Right’s attempt to rewrite the past and make it conform to the Bible.

Before they seize power and establish a world according to their doctrines, totalitarian movements conjure up a lying world of consistency which is more adequate to the needs of the human mind than reality itself; in which, through sheer imagination, uprooted masses can feel at home and are spared the never-ending shocks which real life and real experiences deal to human beings and their expectations. The force possessed by totalitarian propaganda — before the movements have the power to drop iron curtains to prevent anyone’s disturbing, by the slightest reality, the gruesome quiet of an entirely imaginary world–lies in its ability to shut the masses off from the real world.” — Hannah Arendt, “The Origins of Totalitarianism”

In the middle of the lobby of the 50,000-square-foot Creation Museum in Petersburg, Ky., a 20-foot waterfall tumbles. Two life-size figures of children with long black hair and in buckskin clothes play in the stream a few feet from two towering Tyrannosaurus Rex models that can move and roar. The museum, which cost $25 million to build and has a sea of black asphalt parking lots for school buses, has a scale model of Noah’s ark that shows how Noah solved the problem of fitting dinosaurs into the three levels of the vessel–he loaded only baby dinosaurs. And on the wooden model, infant dinosaurs cavort with horses, giraffes, hippopotamuses, penguins and bears. There is an elaborate display of the Garden of Eden, where Adam and Eve, naked but strategically positioned so as not to display breasts or genitals, swim in a river as giant dinosaurs and lizards roam the banks.
