The biggest con: Democrats & Republicans work together to destroy America, part 1 of 3Tibor S. Friedman Online Journal Contributing Writer May 8, 2006, 00:31 America is being destroyed by enemies within and with the help of a corrupted Congress and dumbed down (through public education and the corporate media), apathetic, indifferent and lazy public. The window for action to reverse the fascist trend of the last 50 years is fast closing and only an awake and vigilant citizenry can begin to comprehend and take action against the coming totalitarian devastation we have allowed to manifest in our country.September 11, with the perpetrators in the shadow government and clandestine operations, signaled the final stages from the NWO (New World Order) cabal that they are now in a flight forward end game. The elders in this ‘open conspiracy’ for global totalitarian control of the planet, its peoples and resources, David Rockefeller, George H.W. Bush, Zbigniew Brzezinski, Henry Kissinger, Prince Philip, the Rothschild’s, and the rest are pushing for some major advancement in their diabolical agenda before their mortal demise. Briefly, I will attempt to elaborate on three conclusions reached from my research: Democrats and Republicans are two home teams working for the same masters -- the enemies within; corporations and covernment (using the corporate media as their mind control tool) operate as one entity; and the New World Order (using the CFR, Trilateral Commission and Bilderberg, et al) is an open conspiracy to reduce the population of America (and the world), destroy American sovereignty and to create a totalitarian global government. It will be useful to ask ourselves, while reading this, why our leaders -- both Democrats and Republicans alike -- after having sworn to uphold the Constitution and to protect America and the American people -- have deliberately worked together to destroy America and to what purpose have they made America a pariah in the world? The Duopoly . . . Two sides of the same CoinGenocidal chemtrail spraying across the US, begun about 1996-1998 by Democrat Bill Clinton, continues unabated today and the recent passing of the un-PATRIOT Act by the Senate, with an overwhelming 89-10 vote in spite of the refusal to enforce it by more than 440 cities and counties, are two examples of shared criminality by the duopoly. [LINKS FOR MORE INFO BELOW] Although the list of bipartisan crimes against Americans (and the world) is endless they share the common agenda of destroying America and an allegiance to the global banking elites through their membership in the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), Trilateral Commission and the Bilderberg Group. These groups form the trinity in the globalization of the world by members who are involved in the highest levels of government, industry, academia, military and the media. Mordecai Zember’s list of the CFR 2005 membership reflects the cross-section of elites that control policy and propaganda in America today. Google also the list of members in the Trilateral Commission for 1973 and 2006; you will find Leonard Woodcock and John Sweeney on it -- leaders of the UAW and AFL-CIO, among others. How about Daniel Ellsberg being a member of the CFR? See “Sheep Dipping CFR style: The Kerry and Ellsberg Cases” for an interesting peek at the CIA. www.amigospais-guaracabuya.org/oagsg023.phpAs someone in the upcoming movie “From Freedom to Fascism” describes the duopoly, it is like the Gambinos and Genovese families who share the power and eat their gnocchi from the same plate. No offense to them; but this is how the system works as both parties advance the interests of the globalists, the International bankers and their corporate proxies. The politicians, who take their share of the plunder, are generally fronts who wrap themselves in the flag and patriotism as it serves their needs to accomplish their assignments received from their bosses behind the curtain -- the elites in the shadow government. Staging Media Events and the Changing of the GuardMeet the new boss; same as the old boss. In America, the corporate media and their counterparts, the liberal gatekeepers, are preparing us for the changing of the guard. Remember six years into Bill Clinton’s neoliberal and globalist assault on Americans was the Monica sex circus that the media served up 24/7 to distract us from all the real serious crimes of the Clinton era. Which, in hindsight, seamlessly dovetailed with the Bush 2 agenda after his selection by the Supremes: the Project for a New American Century (PNAC) and the execution of 9/11, the illegal Afghan and Iraq wars (against non-threatening and, in the case of Iraq, sanction weakened, sovereign nations) and continued predator globalization (spreading ‘democracy’ via capitalism and so-called free trade). The elites (manipulating the elections) chose Bush -- twice. Now, almost six years into the fascist Bush 2 era we are witnessing both parties criticizing Bush (giving the sheeple false hopes, again) even as the corporate media begin propping up Hillary or McCain (what maverick?) or Edwards (or other globalist tools) as ‘alternatives’ to the madness in Washington. One cannot run for or become president without the approval of the elites. As Paul Joseph Watson warned us, ‘Hillary is the rat poison that will sink America.’ It matters not who is selected. The madness will continue unabated until America is totally destroyed for the international bankers and globalists and driven into the waiting arms of the UN -- created to institute a One World Government; achieving David Rockefeller’s long time dream and goal: controlling the world’s resources (monopoly) and the reduction of the world population through manipulated wars and bio-engineered diseases . . . and the enslavement of those that are allowed to remain to serve the elites. We are and have been an occupied and fascist state -- the blending of corporations, banking and government. As Patrick Wood of the August Review, a research center for globalism, points out, ‘the Global Elite march in three essential columns: Corporate, Political and Academic.' Corporate determines the goals; Academia provides the white papers or propaganda for the Politicians to then sell to the unwitting citizens. Corporate media and all liberal gatekeepers are not only controlled by the CIA, but have members on their boards from all three groups to facilitate the manipulation of the desired public opinion. An example is a Carlyle (Bush family connected military industrial complex investment group) board member on the New York Times board; cross-pollination exists throughout the elite spectrum encompassing all aspects of finance and power. Everyone, those with their hands on the levers of power, is literally on the same page. Welcome to the New World Order -- Ready or NotDavid Rockefeller -- the godfather of the New World Order - a member of the Bilderbergers and the Council of Foreign Relations and co-founder of the Trilateral Commission, thanked the media facilitators (most of whom are also members of one or more of these groups): “We are grateful to the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost 40 years . . . It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is more sophisticated now and prepared to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto determination practiced in past centuries” David Rockefeller gave this talk at the annual Bilderberg meeting in June 1991 held in Germany. Alex Carey, an Australian scholar on propaganda techniques observed: "The 20th century has been characterized by three developments of great political importance: the growth of democracy, the growth of corporate power, and the growth of corporate propaganda as a means of protecting corporate power against democracy." It is clear that what has been a long and deliberate process has become evermore sophisticated in its manipulation of Americans and the world. For at least 100 years, America has been occupied by the Rockefellers, the Morgan’s, the Rothschild’s and other international bankers who have used their wealth and power (and by their illegal creation of the Federal Reserve and Income Tax Acts in 1913) to subvert America and humanity, in general, for their own greedy and nefarious purposes -- the documentation exists and only connecting the dots is needed. The late William Cooper, a former military intelligence officer and world-renowned researcher, said this about the New World Order, "They are bound together by blood oaths, a secret religion, and the promise of an elite status within regional government, or the world supra government. Their religion is based upon the Kabbalah, the Luciferian Philosophy, and the worship of the Sun. They are not bound by any oath or allegiance save their own. They are loyal to no government or People save their own. And they are Citizens of no country save their already in place secret world government. In their words, 'If you are not one of us you are nothing.' To garner some sense of 'feel' for the concept see the movie 'They Live.' "It is a largely 'open' conspiracy, in that much of its membership, structure, methods, and operations, are matters of public record, however scattered and obscure. Its manner of coordination is atypical. Two nuclei -- the elite core of the Wall Street clique (orbiting the House of Rockefeller) and the elite core of the European financial clique (orbiting the House of Rothschild) -- coordinate this global conspiracy by waging psychological warfare on the rest of the conspirators, telling each no more than is necessary for him to fulfill his designated role, often with explicit recognition neither of his role, nor of the unarticulated rules that govern him. "Thus, the overwhelming bulk of the conspirators do not know, but only suspect, that they are part of and in service to a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they had better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it." Further he added: . . . emerging realities in 2006, "There will be no individual Rights only privileges. These will be granted or denied at will by the world supra government. All property is to be owned by the State. There will be a redistribution of wealth. They plan to eliminate class differences and reduce the standard of living to a lower level in the advanced nations, such as the United States, and to a higher standard of living in the so-called third world nations. "This leveling of the standard of living will be accomplished through a global economic collapse which is in its beginning stages. The economic collapse will fulfill the goal of Marx and Engle’s' Communist Manifesto mandating the elimination of the middle class. The graduated income tax was the first implementation of this process and is one of the planks of the Communist Manifesto. NAFTA and GATT (add now CAFTA and the pending FTAA) are a part of this process encouraging industry to move into third-world nations in order to exploit cheap labor. "All existing religions will disappear. The only religion will be the state religion (humanism or illuminism). "All County and State governments will be eliminated and replaced with regional government. These regional governments (Home Rule) are already in place. Regionalism is gradually taking control throughout America. "There will be no more cash. Trade will be accomplished by a system of computer credits with accounts accessed through debit cards or computer chip implants. The cards or implants will also serve as personal identification, drivers license, and etc. When this is completed the human race will be shackled to a computer in a never ending cycle of debt. No action or movement will ever again be private." The Constitution for the United States of America and its Bill of Rights will be scrapped. A parliamentary form of government will take its place. All military forces and individuals are to be disarmed except for an internal police force which will carry only the minimum weapons needed to maintain internal order. Although Cooper only lived to see a little more than a year of the Bush presidency, he was a firm advocate that President Clinton, although posing as a man of the people, was (and still is) in fact one of the biggest and most diabolical front men for the New World Order. William Cooper, author of the classic, ‘Beyond a Pale Horse’ was killed on November 5, 2001, by authorities at his home in Arizona. Globalization, free trade and ‘spreading democracy’ are Trojan horses for the NWO/International Bankers true predatory intent. The fact that America's downward financial spiral started in earnest shortly after the Trilateral Commission was founded by David Rockefeller and Zbigniew Breszinksi in 1973 is not incidental. The very policies that brought us the "New International Economic Order" (their own phrase) have wrecked our country. Trilateral member and Democratic President Jimmy Carter had 19 Trilateral members (including VP Mondale and Breszinksi as national security adviser) in his administration in 1976 and began David Rockefeller’s mission to de-industrialize America. The elites in fact have bankrupted (sold off) and destroyed America by off-shoring critical manufacturing enterprises and knowledge and technologies, which is continuing and is now, 30 years later, almost complete as the Big 3 auto manufacturers have been designed to collapse, further eroding America’s independence and vitality. The (State) Media LiesJoel Skousen (on his site) wrote recently that the media are completely in lockstep with the USG. I would add that we have been under the greatest psychological operations ever in the history of man, involving all levels of media -- corporate media and liberal gatekeepers. Information is the coin of the realm and our minders would rather have us believing their fiction and not what we may find in our research on the Internet. The media lies and manipulates perceptions as a matter of course -- and as corporate-owned organs of the power elite structure they serve only to protect the status quo and those in power in their quest towards creating a New World Order and protecting their international banking interests. The CIA’s annex, the Washington Post, and best patron, the late Katherine Graham, once remarked the world is a dangerous place and that democracy operates best when some details are not shared with the population. The WP and the New York Times, the lead so called ‘premier’ papers, operate similarly and are conduits of propaganda for the Powers That Be and their security apparatuses, and provide the ‘copy’ for all the other press in the US. The Daily News and New York Post -- comic book versions of the news -- are dumbed down propaganda rags for the ‘common man’ with loud headlines, plenty of mindless celebrity gossip and partially naked women to distract. TV land (including PBS, C-SPAN) and radio (like NPR) mimics repetitively (through all news and Sunday talk shows) the same official fictions that are disseminated in the press. The evening news on all of the alphabet channels is eerily alike in format and content -- by design, of course. Polls are used to fine tune messages/propaganda and are manipulated to reflect the desired public perception -- like the deliberate linkage of 9/11 and Iraq. Online CNN polls have been known to disappear after the results were not as expected -- suggesting that no matter the propaganda the public may not be buying it -- forcing the puppet meisters to recalibrate their propaganda efforts. The average citizen it is assumed will fall in line with the ‘majority’ view of a poll even though Joe Citizen has no way to confirm the poll. It is possible that the majority of people may consider that they are in the minority,.victims of the corporate media propaganda and poll manipulation, and remain silent about critical issues because of it. The NWO and their political / media / clandestine operatives use a technique called Problem-Reaction-Solution where a situation is created for which the public demands a solution -- by orchestrating the problem and manipulating the reaction, a solution, originally desired, is effected. It accomplishes their goal while the public thinks they had some input. This process is repeated over and over and is evident in the current Immigrant demonstrations that have been organized by the elites at the top to foment unrest and division in America. Events are created and managed to accomplish the elite’s desired goals with the politicians and the corporate media as accomplices and facilitators -- all moving incrementally towards the creation of the New World Order.Add to this the elite’s ownership of and control of media corporations, 40,000 lobbyists, hundreds of think tanks, the foundations, the Council on Foreign Relations, Trilateral Commission, Bilderberg and countless other groups that ‘control the dialogue’ and provide both parties (the duopoly) with mountains of propaganda to create distractions and wedge issues (abortion, gay marriage, illegal immigration, etc); or the latest ‘trivia news saturation’ (missing blondes, rapes at Duke, a Kennedy in rehab) while the greater issues of the day are conveniently disregarded. All this and more is arrayed against the lone American citizen struggling to understand what is happening to his country and the world. It is no wonder that the American citizen is not informed -- by design, of course. Mark Twain once said that if one does not read the newspaper he is uninformed and misinformed if he does.Nothing important gets into the corporate media unless officially created, sanctioned, approved or leaked on purpose.Next: In Part 2, we will further explore the corporate media, liberal gatekeepers and how the news and views are controlled by the elite ruling class. Parts 2 and 3 will elaborate on some of the ways the New World Order and their proxies -- the Democrats and Republicans -- are destroying America.

The public has indeed been dumbed down ... I often used to wonder how the hell people can keep swallowing what's being shoveled to us by the D.C. syndicate. Although my public education was,to but it kindly,inadequate, I was fortunate enough to have great parents,who encouraged me to persue any area of study that motivated me.Besides,the Powers That Be didn't have the kool-aid recipe perfected back then... More on that later.I feel very strongly that the one thing anyone can do to gain about forty I.Q.points is... [glow=red,2,300] KILL YOUR TELEVISION.[/glow] The run-up to the Iraq Disaster was very carefully orchestrated,to say the least. Do you remember? The breathless headers(AMERICA AT WAR)? The drums and thirty- piece string section upon return from commercials? The little flags on every anchor's lapel? That ten- second"file footage"(?)of wild eyed arabs with hoods playing on jungle gyms in slow motion? I must have seen that a thousand times-and Fox watchers probably saw it like ten thousand times...They still break it out occasionally. I saw the corporate media spazz out in a similar fashion during Katrina. IMHO,the tone current techniques(don't know what else to call it)were probably developed by the government during the days of the MK-ultra project. The mind is a muscle-if it is not excersized, it gets flabby. Sitting on a couch being exposed to all the pretty lights and the neat sounds for hours on end is kinda like reducing your diet to Cheetos and Pepsi. You see,knowledge is power,and They want you powerless. Just a thought... Please reply- everyone's input is welcome here.Also,have a look at this excellent link Michelle gave me: www.tvnewslies.org

The biggest con: Democrats & Republicans work together to destroy America, part 2 of 3Tibor S. Friedman Online Journal Contributing Writer May 9, 2006, 01:32 Nothing important gets into the corporate media unless officially created, sanctioned, approved or leaked on purpose. I cite two recent examples of media manipulation, omission and/or fabrication. The NSA domestic spying story: Spying has been standard operating procedure by the US government for decades against its own citizens -- the story was held by the New York Times before the 2004 elections but was released in December 2005! Why?Certainly not to inform the unwitting and manipulated public! The New York Times publisher was at the White House discussing this story prior to its release, raising suspicions about the motivation. The ensuing (staged with the usual talking points) controversy favored increasing the president's powers ‘in time of war’ and even a censure (slap on the wrist) from Sen. Russ Feingold had no traction because of the spineless Democratic members. So, what was the point? To further condition Americans to the idea that spying on them was to protect them from terrorists and that giving up liberty for security was an acceptable sacrifice. The lopsided Judicial Committee (10 Republicans and. 8 Democrats -- why even bother?) had hearings (dog and pony shows) to reinforce the idea of the war powers of the president. Manipulation of public perception seemed to be the primary motivation. Spying & the Internet: The Internet -- originally created by the US government spook lab DARPA -- may soon be controlled (and charging tolls) by the large media and cable corporations with limited content and access, threatening the last bastion of real free speech. Technology used by the US government is at least several generations ahead of commercial technology available in the market. It is rumored that all new monitors have micro cameras imbedded that can remotely watch you whether or not the computer is on unless the power is shut off. However, in tandem with corporate assaults against the Internet is the Pentagon’s view of the Internet (free speech) being as dangerous as an ‘enemy’s weapon system’ as stated in their declassified report ‘The Information’s Operation Roadmap.'See the Center for Digital Democracy for more information on what our so-called ‘representatives’ are being lobbied (bribed) to legislate (currently being debated) against Network Neutrality (the Open Internet) -- all for money and silencing dissent. The second story was about DPW (Dubai Ports), while generating much media bread and circus critical pieces of information were omitted. All media outlets ignored the globalization process that is and has been orchestrated and deliberate and not the ‘natural process’ as Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) Neocon/Globalist Thomas 'Flat Word' Friedman of the New York Times would have us believe. Focusing on the ‘security issues’ -- the circus included the usual suspects and ‘experts’ from the CFR (now out of the closet) and think tanks, etc., while none strayed from the ‘security’ talking points. Little attention was given the fact that America has been virtually sold out from under our feet by our so-called leaders.The centerpiece of this story is the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) -- the group that vets and reviews all foreign investments. The corporate media (and liberal media) across the board repeatedly told us that CFIUS was a secret body that informed cabinet members of pending deals -- well it turns out that the members are not only cabinet members but Bush insiders. What an egregious omission! Patrick Wood’s August Review tells us that the CFIUS committee membership is hardly made up of second-rate government staffers. Its 12 members include: John W. Snow, Secretary of the Treasury, Chairman John Marburger, Director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy Stephen Hadley, National Security Advisor Stephen Friedman, Assistant to the President for Economic Policy (TC) Michael Chertoff, Secretary of Homeland Security Condoleezza Rice, Secretary of State Donald Rumsfeld, Secretary of Defense (CFR) Carlos M. Gutierrez, Secretary of Commerce Alberto Gonzales, U.S. Attorney General Joshua Bolten, White House Chief of Staff Rob Portman, U.S. Trade Representative N. Gregory Mankiw, Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers On April 3, Rep. Jim Kolbe (R) addressed the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace (a Globalist think tank and Bilderberg member) -- more like singing to the choir -- about national security and foreign investments. Kolbe referred to CFIUS as a group that is secretive but is concerned about national security. His pep talk was about the positive attributes of globalization -- allowing foreigners to ‘invest’ in America because it made us friends in the world. As you can see from the CFIUS members list -- all are Bush insiders and cabinet members. Omissions and Lies are reinforced throughout the information pipeline -- talking points and scripts replace the truth. Of 1,500 deals passed through CFIUS during the Bush reign only one has been rejected! In fact, small local newspaper recently reported, "President Bush has approved the takeover by a Dubai-owned company of American plants that make parts for jets and tanks after a review that seems to have satisfied lawmakers who helped block an earlier Dubai deal." The AP report also said, "Initial reaction from Capitol Hill was favorable." (Which ‘lawmakers’?) Specifically, the Dubai company takes over control of at least nine factories, including military production facilities in Connecticut and Georgia. Dubai settled the deal for $1.2 billion. The corporate media had not reported any of these details to most Americans. Selling our national security interests to the Arabs seems rather risky, don’t you think?So the media lies, omits and ignores important information if it conflicts with the ‘official’ story, message or goals. Any challenges to power that the media pose are usually safe or intended to suppress further scrutiny of an issue. Disinformation and outright propaganda is disseminated along with credible pieces of information to facilitate redirection or neutralization of inquiries. As Robert Fisk, a seasoned and honest journalist covering the Middle East, recently stated that stories written with ‘officials say,' or ‘officials confirmed’ have become commonplace in the corporate media. It reflects not only journalistic laziness, but is used to condition Americans to blindly accept ‘official’ sources. He stated that he no longer consumes any corporate media -- print or TV. I suggest the same -- turn off your TV and stop buying the New York Times -- it’s all lies. Occasionally I tune in to see what they are reporting as ‘news,’ but try to save your mind and use your discrimination in processing their stories and their propaganda techniques -- once the code is cracked you are free to see through their smoke and mirrors.Gatekeepers -- the So-Called Liberal Media Also Cover for the ElitesThe corporate media and the so-called liberal pundits (the gatekeepers) both continue their perennial charade of framing all debate between the Democratic and Republican orbits. Typical of the liberal tack, Robert Dreyfuss, a gatekeeper at Mother Jones, in a C-SPAN interview threw in discussion about progressives (not as a separate entity, but as parts of the duopoly) needing to concentrate on grassroots efforts to make changes. They know full well that most Americans have neither the will nor all the information -- which leads them into dead ends -- as all gatekeepers like Amy Goodman, Michael Moore, Al Franken, Bill Maher, Jon Stewart , Noam Chomsky and publications like the Nation, The Progressive, Mother Jones, etc., are intended to do. This is gatekeeping at the margins. Corporate media Gatekeeper Jon Stewart and his Daily Show is an example of the allowable ‘mainstream’ dissent with guests like Sen. John Kerry (remember his Democratic Convention ‘free speech zones’?), Sen. John McCain, Sen. Joe Lieberman, the genocidal war criminal Henry Kissinger, Sen. Edward Kennedy (his bill adding another 350,000 H1B visas), without asking them the right or tough questions . . . framing all the dialogue, again, in the context of Democrat vs. Republican -- the two headed hydra. Stewart buys into and advocates the ‘official’ 9/11 lie, the phony War on Terror, and the illegal wars on Afghanistan and Iraq -- “now that we are there . . ." His pointless Bush-bashing detracts from having to address the elites who are behind the curtain really running the show (and providing his paycheck) or having to address the war crimes committed by Bush and Cheney. Stewart, like other gatekeepers, doesn’t stray far from the official mythologies peddled by Uncle Sam and cleverly focuses on ‘personalities’ and not real issues. Although gatekeepers may provide some peripheral information (not in the corporate media) for the citizen to ponder they are deliberately marginalized in acting on it; the politicians and the corporate media are instrumental in blocking real action for change. All the exits are covered -- by the occupiers. The corporate media and the liberal gatekeepers, not surprisingly, are funded by the same elite structures -- foundations and corporations -- whose mission it is to protect the elite and their shadow government that are truly in control, while they distract the public with their mindless drone about Hollywood and sports celebrities. When the duopoly talk about the ‘liberal media’ they omit that people like FOX (News Corp) Rupert Murdoch -- neocon and pro-Zionist media mogul -- provide some of the most dumbed down, decadent and degrading entertainment on TV. Murdoch recently acquired MySpace.com -- for reasons I think may be suspect and nefarious. In short, there are no liberal media -- they're all one big happy corporate family fooling and dividing you. All one needs to do is to examine the cross pollination that exists in corporate boardrooms -- like the Carlyle director sitting on the (so called ‘liberal’) New York Times board. Hollywood hedonism is a propaganda by-product of the media conglomerates -- and worshiping and creating ‘stars’ has long been cultivated as part of the cultural phenomenon -- as epitomized by absurdly hedonistic award shows like the Oscars where the ‘stars’ kiss each others asses -- all fed to the public via the corporate media for their distraction and fantasy. Hollywood, as part of the elite corporate community, has been instrumental since the beginning of moving pictures in creating propaganda for the masses that operate under the radar as entertainment meant to distort reality and deceive the population. Creating a confused public provides grist for the corporate media to distract and divide people while other crimes against the people are ignored -- look here, not there.Distractions are created deliberately to keep us focused on trivial things while those in power move incrementally towards enslaving us and destroying real human values. Hollywood is an integral part of the New World Order / Corporate Propaganda Machine that serves to undermine American values and independence. Some CFR members from Hollywood are Michael Douglas, Richard Dreyfuss and Warren Beatty -- what are they doing at the Pratt House? Anyway, people are seeing through Hollywood and their deviant propaganda products -- the sleeping giant is awakening to the fraud foisted upon them. Although the corporate media is the main gatekeeper for the general public the liberal/progressive left has its own circle of controlled alternative media -- much of it interspersed with new age hype to dilute credibility. Discussions of the New World Order, 9/11 truth, the emerging police state, City of London International banking, the privately owned Federal Reserve cartel, chemtrails and weather modification by the military (see HAARP), and other critical issues are deliberately avoided. A recent C-SPAN phone Q&A with Robert Dreyfus had a caller ask about 9/11 and the Oklahoma City bombing and the conversation was, as is typical, immediately redirected by the moderator to another topic and the caller was disconnected. That is media gatekeeping in action. Don’t ask questions -- move along . . . never happened . . . A recent article, “Noam Chomsky -- Controlled Asset of the New World Order," by Daniel Abrahamson, confirmed my suspicions and disappointment about the ‘master of dissent’ as I have often wondered why his view of the 9/11 official story and other matters of importance diverged. How can one maintain employment by MIT for decades, a giant government contractor and still rant on about US Imperialism? Abrahamson shares that while Chomsky blames ‘America’ and ‘corporations,’ he fails to acknowledge the hidden Globalist over class which pulls the strings, using the US as an engine of creation and destruction -- and after pinning the world's ills on American imperialism, he offers the solution of world government under the UN. Chomsky calls the CFR, Trilateral Commission and Bilderberg Groups nothing organizations. Chomsky’s hero status is amplified by left gatekeeper publications like Z Magazine, The Nation, The Progressive and Democracy Now! -- all receive funding from Globalist-front groups like the Rockefeller, Carnegie and MacArthur Foundations.The AM (Alternate Media): If you are reading this it is neither in the New York Times’ op-ed section nor in The Nation. As in the corporate media and the so called liberal alternative media, the AM has writers, researchers and content that are not equal and requires sorting out by the reader. Like pulling on a thread it leads you somewhere and it is up to each of us to hone our researching skills to add to our database of useful information already acquired and to use our precious time recognizing what is useful in further developing our understanding. Recognize the difference between a rant and good research. Educated in cultural anthropology, I have been researching for several years now and use AM for my checks against corporate media and alternative media sources, and for new sources of information. Multiple sources are needed to verify conclusions and I have tried to present an informative article based on these practices. I have a list (provided later) of core sites I frequent; there are writers/journalists I look for who have high standards for research and analysis -- with new additions as my research widens. It is up to each of us to be Information Guerillas and to seek out the truth no matter what horrors and atrocities we discover -- to be free is to seek the truth no matter where it leads. And as I attempted to do here -- share your knowledge with others and encourage dialogue and discovery. Thus far, we have shown that both Democrats and Republicans are essentially the same, both working for the same masters. We have also pointed out that not all media are equal and the corporate media and liberal gatekeepers are financed by the same corporations and foundations and controlled by the CIA. At the top of this power pyramid is the New World Order cabal with their shadow governments. Alternate Media is the last bastion of free speech and Internet 2 is soon coming -- print or save your important articles.Now for the really ugly and nasty stuff . . . Destroying America for the New World OrderChemtrails. . . . In the Skies, but not in the News . . . Having observed CTs (chemtrails) for some time I am convinced that our leaders (and their masters) would not hesitate killing 3,000 citizens if it served their purpose, which, undoubtedly, 9/11 has. With two illegal wars and more already in the early stages, the construction of a police state (the soft cage) and 800 detention centers (and Halliburton building more), the bipartisan passage of the un-PATRIOT Act (It is us they fear, not the terrorists) which abrogates the Constitution and the creation of the phony War on Terror (renamed the Long War), etc., it is clear that they have Americans targeted for population reduction and enslavement.Chemtrails have been sprayed across America by the military and contractors almost daily since at least 1998 -- begun by Democrat Bill Clinton. Chemtrails include aluminum and barium oxides, the very toxic pesticide ethylene bromide and raw jet fuel occasionally mixed with bio germ toxic cocktails like pseudomonas fluorescens and mycoplasma.Amy Worthington’s “Chemtrails: Delivery System for Dept. of Death’s Toxic Cocktails” details some of the biochemical warfare ‘experiments’ the military has conducted on the American people in the last 50 years. The sharp increase of respiratory illnesses and various cancers indicates they are succeeding at killing many thousands with compromised immune systems and weakening others exposed to CTs.Ken Welch concludes in his “Chemtrails -- Predictions” written earlier this year that this is a two-step process with Chemtrails spraying first and then ‘for the second part, the biological culmination, is the intentional release of the1918 Spanish Influenza, or some minor but souped-up variation..' According to Michael Chertoff’s (DHS) announcement on March 9, the same day the un-PATRIOT Act was renewed, the avian flu is a mere months away from reaching the US. Dr. Len Horowitz tells us in his article, “Avian Flu Fright: Politically Timed for Global Iatrogenocide” that ‘if the avian flu becomes more than a threatened epidemic, it will have done so by political and economic design,’ adding that this would also serve depopulation objectives. These merchants of death in the military-industrial-academic/research complex see biochemical warfare and weather modification (experimenting and creating ‘natural’ disasters has been going on for decades) as ‘conflicts short of war’ economic substitutes for standard militarization. Both Dr. Horowitz and Jerry Mazza (“The AIDS Virus: Made in the USA?” Online Journal, 10/26/05 onlinejournal.com/artman/publish/article_129.shtml ) explain that AIDS was created in a military lab and was deliberately transmitted to Africa and India via smallpox vaccines by the WHO -- a Rockefeller funded organization. The Ebola virus, the swine flu, Lyme disease, West Niles virus, SARS and other bioengineered weapons made by the US have been used as ‘test runs’ before the ‘Big One,' now being propagandized by the leaders and the corporate media, is possibly unleashed. A weakened and compromised population offers little resistance to the authorities.The current mumps (a normally mild virus) outbreak in the Midwest was called a useful ‘drill’ by a CDC spokesperson. According to Patricia Doyle, PhD, the virus has mutated away from that which the vaccine covers, rendering it useless. Is this another test? If this is enough to scare you, consider that the 1918 Spanish Flu (H5N1) has been recreated (what madness!!) and is in the labs of the CDC and the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology! No doubt the elites will have their vaccines close at hand when and if the Big One is unleashed. Today, the Rockefeller family, its foundation, the UN and WHO remain at the forefront of administering ‘population programs’ designed to reduce world populations to more ‘manageable’ levels. The David Rockefeller directed Council of Foreign Relations periodical Foreign Affairs has advertised targeting the US for 50 percent reduction.A note on Chertoff: The dual (US/Israeli) citizen has two deputies working in Homeland Security -- ex-KGB General Yevgeni Primakov and ex-STASI (East German intelligence) Markus Wolfe -- both declared terrorists by the US in the 1990s. Why would DHS have these kinds of folks working in America? This is eerily similar to the CIA’s Operation Paperclip where hundreds if not thousands of Nazi scientists were brought to the US after World War II to expand torture, mind control and biowarfare techniques for the CIA. Incidentally, almost a hundred microbiologists have been murdered or committed ‘suicide’ in the last few years -- a coincidence? For more on Chertoff visit Newswithviews.com [ www.newswithviews.com/Briley/Patrick4.htm ] Patrick Briley's extensive and enlightening expose. This is the guy protecting you! President Bush has already warned us that in the event of an avian flu pandemic people would be quarantined (martial law) and forced to take vaccinations (we know can’t possibly work). The cowardly and complicit Congress has budgeted $8 billion for Tamiflu made by Roche (formerly I.G. Farben, a Nazi era company supported by and benefiting the Rockefellers, Harriman’s and the Bushes before, during and after WW II), which Dr Horowitz warns us could be the ‘flu vaccine’ that will precisely deliver this pandemic to the world to affect population control. Vaccinations are usually harmful -- such an example is the Lyme disease vaccine that crippled 750,000 people within months of its release and subsequent recall by the FDA. The anthrax vaccine has had similar results with the forced vaccinations of military personnel, and much of the population’s outright rejection and refusal to take it including health care first responders. Dr. Horowitz states in his article that “a growing body of scientific evidence strongly suggests vaccines are largely responsible for increasing cases of autism and other learning disabilities, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, Lupus, MS, ALS, rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, hay fever, allergies, chronic draining ear infections, type 1 autoimmune diabetes, and many, many more pandemics.A note on martial law: One million foreign troops are alleged to be 'training' at various locations on US soil. Once martial law goes into effect they will be used to detain and control the population as part of the 'peacekeeper force' of the UN. (This is the real mission of FEMA -- population control -- not disaster relief, see educate-yourself.com) Over the years white UN vehicles have been noticed being shipped by rail in many parts of the country. Eight hundred detention centers are estimated to exist in America with base closings becoming new centers; along with large vacated industrial parks being converted into same. Halliburton just received a $385 million contract to build more detention centers 'rapidly' for 'new programs.' Beginning in the 1950s, underground cities for the elites and 'government officials' have been created and increased in the 1990s under Clinton, bringing the completely self-sustaining underground cities to about 135. There is protection for the elites but not for American citizens. What are they expecting or planning?These are not things that our elected officials share with us or have the authority to do without our permission; yet they do whatever they want under the guise of 'National Security' and other phony pretexts. This is the shadow government at work. Next: In Part 3 we will continue to discuss the destruction of America by the New World Order cabal, the powers behind the curtain.

The biggest con: Democrats & Republicans work together to destroy America, part 3 of 3Tibor S. Friedman Online Journal Contributing Writer May 10, 2006, 01:03“ Military men are just stupid animals to be used as pawns in foreign policy” -- KissingerDepleted uranium weapons were first given by the US to Israel for use under US supervision in the 1973 Sinai war against the Arabs. Since then the US has tested, manufactured, and sold depleted uranium weapons systems to 29 countries. An international taboo prevented their use until 1991, when the US broke the taboo and used them for the first time, on the battlefields of Iraq and Kuwait. Depleted uranium (DU) is a weapon of mass destruction (WMD) that was used under the direction of George H. W. Bush and then Secretary of Defense Dick Cheney in the 1st Gulf War in 1991. Democrat Bill Clinton used it in the Balkans (and in Iraq, using the no-fly zones as cover) and it continues to be used today in Afghanistan and Iraq. In Irving Wesley's “Depleted Uranium for Dummies,” he tells us that more than 400 tons were used in 1991; that rose to at least 2,000 tons in the Balkans, more than 1,000 tons used in Afghanistan and over 3,000 tons used so far in the current liberation of Iraq by George W. Bush. The explosion of DU munitions on the battlefield creates microscopic and submicroscopic insoluble uranium oxide particles that remain suspended in the air and travel around the earth as a radioactive component of atmospheric dust, contaminating the environment, indiscriminately killing, maiming and causing disease in all living things where rain, snow and moisture remove it from the atmosphere DU is a death sentence not only for our soldiers and their families but also for all the people whose land is forever contaminated -- with DU attacking the master code of DNA.Eleven thousand troops have died and over 500,000 are on disability from the 1st Gulf War -- 56 percent of those having served now have serious health problems. Depleted Uranium use is genocide and a war crime of the highest order. It is now circulating around the world via the trade winds and has been detected in the UK. It will eventually arrive in the US and to add to what already exists here, as exposed recently in a report on LANL (Los Alamos National Lab) detailing Weapons Testing of Depleted Uranium by explosions and fires in the open air in New Mexico, near Santa Fe -- contaminating the area forever. Forty-two states in America are contaminated with nuclear waste, DU weapons manufacturing and testing. It is clear that the insane are running the asylum. Who are the real terrorists?In “Depleted Uranium: The Trojan Horse of Nuclear War,” Leuren Moret, a former Livermore Labs expert, provides a deeper analysis of this greatest of all crimes against humanity. It is important to note and understand that the complicit and criminal Congress and the corporate media refuse to address or report on chemtrails (CTs) and DU, two major crimes against humanity -- open conspiracies that one can see up in the skies and in military personnel returning who are having children with multiple birth defects.I have sent many articles and email to my representatives, Sen. Hillary Clinton and Rep. Maurice Hinchey, and the corporate media about these two specific issues and have never received any replies. This is how their system works -- they ignore and marginalize dissent. These are war crimes committed by both Democrats and Republicans against humanity. The hysteria now echoing in the corporate media about a nuclear Iran requires reasoned analysis before we all buy into the same lies we were sold before attacking Iraq. Jack Smith’s article, “Bush’s War Plans Include the Use of Nuclear Weapons,” provides a sane appraisal of the madness contrary to what we are fed daily by the corporate media and propagandists. Poisoning and Drugging Americans . . . Population Control and ProfitsThe recent Food Labeling Act passed by the corrupt Congress allows further relaxation of labeling requirements on what is in your food, essentially letting the corporate food conglomerates to poison you at will! GMOs (genetically modified organisms), rather than feeding the world as Bill Clinton -- responsible for the FDA approval of these poisonous products -- would have us believe are cash cows for Monsanto, ADM, DuPont and Dow, et al, and a way for the New World Order (NWO) to control the world's food supply. As an example, Paul Bremer, former Viceroy of Iraq and Medal of Freedom recipient, issued 100 orders before fleeing the country. Order 81 specifically dealt with prohibiting the saving of seeds as they have in Mesopotamia (Iraq) -- the cradle of civilization and agriculture -- for thousands of years and required that they instead buy and use GMO seeds from Monsanto, DuPont and Dow.William Engdahl’s articles on this subject are a must read: “Iraq and Washington’s ‘seeds of democracy’” and “WTO, GMO and Total Spectrum Dominance.” Bremer's illegal orders also call for the privatization of all Iraq’s state owned industries and services with multinational (American) corporations getting them for pittance. This is predatory globalization. Have you ever heard these 100 orders discussed in the corporate media? Of course not. What will Iraq look like if the new "government" succumbs to US dictates and Bremer's Orders? "A small sampling of the most important orders demonstrates the economic imprint left by the Bush administration: Order No. 39 allows for: (1) privatization of Iraq's 200 state-owned enterprises; (2) 100 percent foreign ownership of Iraqi businesses; (3) 'national treatment' -- which means no preferences for local over foreign businesses; (4) Unrestricted, tax-free remittance of all profits and other funds; and (5) 40-year ownership licenses," wrote Antonia Juhasz, a project director at the International Forum on Globalization in San Francisco (LA Times, August 5, 2004). Other poisons our fascist (corporate /government) leaders allow in the water and air and food: Fluoride, MSG, aspartame (a product introduced by Searle -- eventually Monsanto -- a company where Rumsfeld was CEO and with his coercion was approved by the FDA), chlorine, hydrogenated oils, and so on . . . some food for thought as you go shopping. Mike Adams’ article, “The Mass Poisoning of Humanity,” further elaborates on this -- another ongoing bipartisan crime committed for money by Congress.As Democrats start whining again this election cycle about wanting to get universal healthcare for all Americans, we need to remember that these folks along with their criminal partners, the Republicans, are responsible for the above toxic warfare against us. You never hear much about preventative initiatives only about ‘cheap drug access,’ which still benefits Big Pharma. Newswithviews.com contributor, Carolyn Dean, MD, has researched that an estimated 748,000 people die annually using modern medicines (allopathic) products and services. America is Broke and Deep in Debt . . . Leveling the Playing FieldThe national debt is $8.5 trillion, with the ceiling now at $9 trillion, and consumer debt (your mortgage, car loans, etc) is $50 trillion. The international banking elites (Trilateral Commission, CFR, Bilderberg) having exported your well paying jobs -- American manufacturing, businesses and technologies -- now have you indebted to their banks without you having the means to really pay them back! This has been the plan all along - a bankrupt nation has no leverage against the elites that own the banks, control the policies and work towards creating a global totalitarian government. A brief introduction to the Federal Reserve System is required at this point to fully appreciate the catastrophe that we now face.The Federal Reserve is a privately owned banking cartel. It is not federal nor is there any reserve. It creates fiat currency out of thin air (printed by the Treasury Dept. upon the Fed’s request) and is backed by no gold reserve but by the faith of the user. The Federal Reserve System was established by the passing of the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 by a handful of senators on Christmas Eve when most lawmakers had gone home; primary among them was Senator Nelson Aldrich, father-in-law of John D Rockefeller who had organized a meeting of the major bankers at the Rockefeller and Morgan owned Jekyll Island off the coast of Georgia in 1910. The highly secretive meeting -- as told by Edward Griffin in his informative book “The Creature from Jekyll Island” -- was to come to an agreement on the structure and operation of a banking cartel. The goal of the cartel, as is true with all cartels, was to maximize profits by minimizing competition between members, to make it difficult for new competitors to enter the field, and to utilize the police power of government to enforce the cartel agreement. In more specific terms, the purpose and, indeed, the actual outcome of this meeting was to create the blueprint for the Federal Reserve System. With the stroke of a pen President Woodrow Wilson and the US Congress abdicated their constitutional responsibility to control and print currency based on actual gold reserves and as a consequence we have been an occupied nation since 1913.Ten Families Are the Private Owners of the Federal Reserve: The OccupiersRothschild Bank of London Warburg Bank of Hamburg Rothschild Bank of Berlin Lehman Brothers of New York Lazard Brothers of Paris Kuhn Loeb Bank of New York Israel Moses Seif Banks of Italy Goldman, Sachs of New York Warburg Bank of Amsterdam Chase Manhattan Bank of New York (Rockefeller) Eustace Mullins in "World Order" says, “Besides its controlling interest in the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, the Rothschilds had developed important financial interests in other parts of the US . . . The entire Rockefeller empire was financed by the Rothschilds”In 2000, the estimated worth of the Rothschilds was over $100 trillion and the Rockefeller family’s was $11 trillion. How much is enough one could ask? For more on the creation of the ‘Fed,’ see “A Talk by Edward Griffin” and on The Modern History Project's site, “Final Warning: A History of the New World Order” -- Ch. 2.3 (this free on line book is recommended and is an excellent overview of the NWO). The Federal Reserve quietly announced that as of March 20, it would no longer publish M3 data used by the public, investors or bond holders to know how much currency exists. Without it, there is no way to gauge how much a "dollar" is truly worth. Inflation, as the average person knows all too well, is not what the US government claims. Sources in the U.S. Treasury have leaked that the Federal Reserve recently ordered $2 trillion to be printed! The U.S. Treasury is allegedly running printing presses 24/7 to accommodate that order. Treasury employees were specifically ordered not to talk about this to anyone because it could cause economic collapse. It is speculated that the whole Immigration Amnesty Debate (especially the well-funded, organised and well-attended protests) was deliberately scheduled to take place to divert attention from this massive printing/devaluation of the U.S. dollar. Three hundred trillion in derivatives (market side bets that no one can explain how they work) are about to implode as those in that business say it is getting unmanageable. Is the whole planet leveraged? Warren Buffet calls derivatives the neutron bomb waiting to go off. It is believed that the miraculous surplus in some state coffers and the rise in the stock market -- the pumping up -- have been attributed to this excess cash being spread around by the Fed. The real question is why the bankers would intentionally create a hyperinflationary environment unless they desire to collapse the US economy. It was the bankers who engineered the crash of 1929 and then bought up stocks afterwards for pennies on the dollar, consolidating even greater wealth. On April 25, Rep. Ron Paul (R) of Texas addressed Congress. In his speech, “What the price of gold is telling us,” he was the only brave and honest member of Congress to denounce fiat currency as practiced by the Federal Reserve and the dangers it represents to our economy and political system. He told us that “Inflation, as exposed by high gold prices, transfers wealth from the middle class to the rich, as real wages decline while the salaries of CEOs, movie stars, and athletes skyrocket -- along with the profits of the military industrial complex, the oil industry, and other special interests.” Visit his site. Reporting on Greenspan's final G7 meeting, Reuters last December 3 noted, British Chancellor of the Exchequer Gordon Brown, who chaired the meeting of finance leaders from the United States, Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy and Japan, said Greenspan”has served not only America but the whole world.” “As you know, yesterday he also became a freeman of the City of London and he has signed an oath of allegiance to Her Majesty the Queen to do so -- something as you know Americans have been reluctant to do for the last 250 years,” Brown told a closing news conference. No further confession is requires. History will have to reveal the damage done to America by the criminal banker, CFR and Trilateral member Alan Greenspan. This confirms what we already know, that the elites in the US (including the Bushes) have allegiance to the international bankers ensconced in the City of London -- the Rothschilds, the European elites and the Monarchy of Great Britain.Another issue not covered here is the US Judicial System viewed by some international observers as one of the most corrupt in the world -- that serves to protect the elites and to punish those that offend and challenge the ruling class. The recent Moussaoui kangaroo trial, with no evidence and a series of ‘witnesses’ like the complicit Rudy Guiliani and 9/11 victims' survivors, had no merit other than the US looking for a ‘trophy case’ as a law professor noted. The case speaks volumes about coercion and propaganda. The Great Dumbing Down of America . . . Preparing for Diminished ExpectationsTelevision (owned by the corporate media) and the taxpayer-funded educational system are the two main forces that have deliberately and directly contributed to the mass dumbing down of Americans. When viewing television the normal activity in the neocortex is diminished; while the lower brain regions (limbic system) associated with primal functions increases. The reptilian (lower brain) is unable to distinguish between fantasy and reality leaving us vulnerable to manipulation -- which the mind control specialists have taken full advantage of. Early on the elites knew the potential of owning and harnessing the media for the purpose of mass mind control and used the guidance of the Tavistock Institute in London, which has conducted experiments in the creation of controlled chaos and their effects on populations. September 11 was an event meant to shock and immobilize people -- further conditioning them for brainwashing. Dr. Byron T. Weeks’ “Tavistock: The Best Kept Secret in America” details the nefarious history and reach of this institute through academia (Stanford), the think tanks and foundations in the United States. Manuel Venezuela, in his incisive “Land of the Puppet People,” understands the power of mass control through television: Our masters can today do with us as they wish, using the television as the instrument to implant corporatist propaganda into our minds, knowing that millions upon millions of Americans no longer think for themselves, certain that the anemic education prevalent throughout the nation is succeeding in molding loyal sheep conditioned to obey, consume and produce.Our thoughts are being homogenized; our minds now linger in the assembly lines of corporate propaganda, robbing us of individuality, of different personalities, of various tastes and wants. We are the pawns in the front lines of the corporatist takeover of our nation and most importantly, our minds, with those in power toying with us, making us marionettes whose strings are easily manipulated by the few who control television.Concluding . . . The Globalists and International bankers (NWO) as you can see have used and depleted Americas resources and after using this great country to undermine and destroy other nations in the world for their own control and benefit, they are now intent on destroying what remains of America as they turn us into another Third World country. Returning to our original question -- why are our leaders turning America into a pariah in the world? Americans are increasingly concluding that neither party represents them and that they are both corrupt and ‘taking the country in the wrong direction.’ In fact this is what the NWO desires, as they offer the solution of a One World Government (the UN) as a means to address these problems. This shift is visible as the CFR, Hoover and Brookings Institute’s and others are used as ‘official sources’ to confirm that the NWO is now an open conspiracy and that the old way of governance is not suitable anymore. So there you have it - a thumbnail sketch of the alternate view of the world as opposed to the sanitized propaganda spewed by the corporate media. My wife and best friend said that this article is depressing, as it should be or not, if it allows us to wake up and realize that this precious life and the earth we all share is all we have, and to honor it is to do what we can within our limited purview to save it -- it is good. We cannot let the forces that attempt to keep us ignorant win and we cannot allow ourselves to be overwhelmed by the madness we see, hear and learn about. We should balance our lives with love in our pursuit of freedom of speech and a better world. What Can We Do?Stop supporting and feeding the corporate ‘tapeworm,’ as Catherine Austin Fitts calls it. Divert your financial resources. Boycott Exxon-Mobil. Cut up your credit cards, and pay off your bills and your house if you can. Live within your means. I would suggest dumping stocks as well -- they will crash eventually. Remember gold and silver will be confiscated by DHS in case of an emergency; they have already notified the banks not to open safe deposit boxes without a DHS agent present. Invest in Survival.Boycott elections. Prepare. Stock up on supplies for at least three months or more; have a strategy when martial law takes effect. Share all this with your family and friends.

Let’s Not Impeach the President By Stanley Rogouski, 5/19/06 With Bush’s poll numbers at all an time low, the strategy of the Democrats is becoming more and more clear, the illusion of inevitability. Rahm Emmanuel, Chuck Schumer, and Hillary Clinton are running not against the Republicans, but against their own liberal, activist base. Every day the numbers are repeated, 35%, 33%, 30%. They came down from Harris or Gallup and are immediately posted up on the big Democratic Party websites. Read The Daily Kos, Atrios, or Firedoglake, and the underlying message is clear. Look at the polls. The only thing that can keep the Republicans in power now is too much talk about gay marriage, abortion, and the war in Iraq. Just let us win in 2006 and 2008 and, after we’re in power, we’ll do whatever you want. As a result, the liberal wing of the Democratic Party is carefully distancing itself from the idea of impeaching Bush. Howard Dean, on MSNBC, has declared that impeachment is unlikely.You know, unless there's a terrible smoking gun, I think impeachment is going to come pretty low on the list, because we have got to really turn this country around and that is a big job. Nancy Pelosi has flat out said it’s off the table.Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (Calif.) told her caucus members during their weekly closed meeting Wednesday "that impeachment is off the table; she is not interested in pursuing it," spokesman Brendan Daly said. Elizabeth Edwards has remarked that impeachment would make Washington “unpleasant”:"I'd like for him not to be president, and obviously, I worked very hard for that to not be the case. But I thought impeachment was very bad for this country," she said, referring to the 1998 impeachment of President Clinton. "Washington was a very unpleasant place to be, and still is an unpleasant place to be, and impeachment made it worse." And even John Conyers of the Congressional black caucus has come out and argued against it. Indeed, Conyers, the subject of an all out attack by Democratic journalist Joe Klein (who all but compares Conyers to Louis Farrakhan and Huey Newton) seems to have been beaten into submission, unwilling to go down in history as the man who cost his party their landslide in 2006 and 2008.“So, rather than seeking impeachment, I have chosen to propose comprehensive oversight of these alleged abuses. The oversight I have suggested would be performed by a select committee made up equally of Democrats and Republicans and chosen by the House speaker and the minority leader.”History says this is a bad strategy. By declaring impeachment to be off the table, Conyers, Pelosi and Dean are poised to make the same fatal errors in 2006 and 2008 that Clinton, Lee Hamilton, and Tom Foley did in 1992. If the impeachment of Bill Clinton in the 1990s was a farce, the attacks on any Democratic president who slips into office in 2008 without taking on the Bush regime directly will go down as a tragedy the likes of which this country has never seen. In 1992, the Democrats were riding high. They had not only captured the White House with the mediagenic Bill Clinton (the charisma impaired Michael Dukakis and Walter Mondale seemed as far off as ancient Rome), they controlled both houses of Congress. The Cold War had ended. The Berlin Wall had fallen, and the Republicans had been deprived of their most effective campaign strategy, fear of communism. People were sick of war, recession, and self-righteous right-wing assholes in general. Kurt Cobain was cooler than Gordon Gecko. The President was young, intellectual, and open-minded. Legal abortion seemed safe. The pendulum seemed to have indeed swung back to the left after 12 years of Bush and Reagan. The Clinton presidency fell apart faster than anybody could have imagined. Clinton backed down on gays in the military and health care reform. The Democrats kept up the murderous blockade of Iraq that (by their own admission) killed 500,000 Iraqi children. In 1994 the Republicans came roaring back on an explicitly right wing campaign led by Newt Gingrich and recaptured Congress. After that Clinton could do nothing but hang on to power in the face of the greatest right-wing onslaught directed at any American president in history. His biggest accomplishments, balancing the budget, ending welfare, and declaring that the end of big government had arrived, would have made any conservative proud. But even taking all of this into account, the center seemed to have held in 2000. Bush was able to steal the election but the Democrats got control of the Senate back when Jim Jeffords of Vermont declared himself to be an independent. Bush spent most of his first 8 months in office as a laughing stock. But no one could have anticipated the terrorist attacks in 2001. It not only rallied the country around the president, it gave the Republicans back the issue that they had so sorely lacked since 1989, fear. Indeed, with fear of Islamic terrorism replacing the fear of communism and with the “war on terror” the new cold war, the Republicans were able to take back congress in 2002 and pass a whole round of legislation consolidating power in the executive. And this is where the fatal mistake of 1992 came back to haunt not only the Democrats, but also the American people as a whole. I’m talking about the failure to pursue Iran Contra, to look the other way in the face of a gigantic festering sore because it was too risky politically. Where did it lead? Otto Reich, Michael Ledeen, John Negroponte, John Poindexter, most people can probably tell you that they were major figures in the Iran contra scandal, and most people can also tell you that they all went on to positions in the second Bush administration. Indeed, John Negroponte is now the head of a consolidated intelligence service and is now in effective control of both the CIA and FBI. Most of us also know that the war in Iraq was at least in part motivated by a cabal of neoconservatives at least partly guided by people connected to the Iran contra scandal. Ledeen is a major influence on Paul Wolfowitz and Donald Rumsfeld. Elliot Abrams, an Iran contra defendant, is one of the original signatories of PNAC. By shutting down the Iran Contra investigations in 1992 in the face of threats by Republican leaders to scuttle their domestic agenda, Foley, Clinton and Hamilton not only allowed the old Iran contra crowd to pop up in the second Bush administration, they left the issue of the balance of power between the White House and Congress unresolved and set the table for Bush’s power grabs, the Patriot Act, the NSA spying scandal, and the idea of the “unitary executive”. None of this is new. Where Reagan simply lied about his attempts to circumvent congressional oversight, Bush has been open about it. Reagan backed down in the face of overwhelming evidence that he violated the checks and balances inherent in the constitution. Bush has responded by declaring them null and void. Where in 1992, we had a Democratic government an unresolved set of conflicts between congress and the executive, and an opportunity to right the runaway power of the chief executive, in 2006, we have an out of control authoritarian in the White House, the beginnings of a totalitarian state, and a Democratic Party unwilling to act as an opposition. The stakes are much higher this time around. If the Democrats fail to impeach President Bush and fail to see that Scooter Libby, Dick Cheney, Paul Wolfowitz, and Richard Perle do hard time in jail, they have essentially declared that the invasion of Iraq and the attacks on the civil liberties of American citizens is part of a new normality. What they will not fight, we will learn or be forced to accept. Any Democrat elected under these circumstances in 2008 will not be able to govern as a progressive, or even as a centrist. He or she will spend the entire term in office hostage to right-wing attacks, serving as a caretaker for the return of the same neocons who got us into war in 2002. So with the Democrats having declared openly that they will not seek anything beyond a return to office for themselves, that they will not work to dislodge the neocon war criminals that got us into Iraq, defund the Christian fascist faith based infrastructure that has worked its way into every level of the government bureaucracy, repeal the patriot act or dismantle the authoritarian system of government that the Bush Regime has set up, I have a suggestion.
Let’s drive him out of office ourselves. Instead of depending on Democratic politicians to start impeachment hearings, let’s take to the street in mass, nonviolent protest and shut the whole country down until the entire Bush regime is driven out of office along with their whole program. Let’s demand that the Patriot Act be repealed not reformed. Let’s demand that they shut down the concentration camp at Gitmo. Let’s demand that Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Condelezza Rice, Richard Perle, Scooter Libby, and Paul Wolfowitz be led away to The Hague in leg irons. As long as any of these people are free, as long as Christian fundamentalists have access to our tax money, as long as the beginnings of the fascist state Bush as worked so hard to construct over the past 5 years is allowed to stand, nobody in the world is safe, no American can be free, and no Democratic president or congress will mean anything more than changing the furniture in the White House.

The Challenge of Jewish-Zionist Power in an Era of Global Struggle, Part 1 An address by Mark Weber, director of the Institute for Historical Review, delivered at an IHR meeting in New York City on July 16, 2005. (A report on the meeting is posted at www.ihr.org/news/071605NYIHRMeeting.html)During World War II, Henry Luce, the publisher of Time and Life magazines, coined the term “The American Century” to refer to the twentieth century. And in the years since then the term has been used many times. In the decades since the end of World War II, the United States has indeed been the world’s foremost military, economic and financial power, and the most important cultural factor. But that title is not the only one that’s been given to that century. A few months ago Princeton University Press issued a remarkable book by a Jewish scholar, Yuri Slezkine, that explains why the Twentieth Century is, or has been, the century of preeminent Jewish influence and power. In fact, the book is entitled The Jewish Century. In that spirit, the prominent French Jewish writer Alain Finkielkraut was moved to write in 1998, in an essay published in the prestigious Paris daily Le Monde: “Ah, how sweet it is to be Jewish at the end of this 20th century! We are no longer History’s accused, but its darlings. The spirit of the times loves, honors, and defends us, watches over our interests; it even needs our imprimatur. Journalists draw up ruthless indictments against all that Europe still has in the way of Nazi collaborators or those nostalgic for the Nazi era. Churches repent, states do penance...” / 1But that was then, and this is now. There are good reasons to believe that both American power and Jewish power have crested. The twentieth century – what has been called “the American Century” and “the Jewish century” – is passing, both literally and figuratively, into history. Although the US is still the world’s most important military and economic factor, its relative military and economic power in the world has been declining over the past 20-30 years, and will continue to decline in the years ahead. In the Middle East, Israel is still the foremost military power in the region. It is the only state in the area with a nuclear arsenal, for example. All the same, Israel's stature in the world, and – more generally – Jewish-Zionist power, are declining from the high point of the 1980s and 1990s.Tony Judt, another Jewish writer, put it well in an essay published last year in The Nation. He wrote: / 2 "Following the invasion of Lebanon, and with gathering intensity since the first intifada of the late 1980s, the public impression of Israel has steadily darkened. Today it presents a ghastly image: a place where sneering 18-year-olds with M-16s taunt helpless old men ("security measures"); where bulldozers regularly flatten whole apartment blocks ("rooting out terrorists"); where helicopters fire rockets into residential streets ("targeted killings"); where subsidized settlers frolic in grass-fringed swimming pools, oblivious of Arab children a few meters away who fester and rot in the worst slums on the planet; and where retired generals and Cabinet ministers speak openly of bottling up the Palestinians "like drugged roaches in a bottle" (former Israeli Chief of Staff Rafael Eytan) and cleansing the land of its Arab cancer (former Housing Minister Effi Eitam)." Israel is utterly dependent on the United States for money, arms and diplomatic support. One or two states share common enemies with Israel; a handful of countries buy its weapons; a few others are its de facto accomplices in ignoring international treaties and secretly manufacturing nuclear weapons. But outside Washington, Israel has no friends -- at the United Nations it cannot even count on the support of America's staunchest allies. Despite the political and diplomatic incompetence of the PLO [Palestine Liberation Organization]... ; despite the manifest shortcomings of the Arab world at large... ; despite Israel's own sophisticated efforts to publicize its case, the Jewish state today is widely regarded as a -- the -- leading threat to world peace. After thirty-seven years of military occupation, Israel has gained nothing in security. It has lost everything in domestic civility and international respectability, and it has forfeited the moral high ground forever." What is emerging is a new bi-polar world, with the United States and Israel on one side, and the rest of the world on the other. This new alignment of forces, this shift in power relationships in the world, is strikingly reflected in the United Nations, where, time and time again, votes on issues in both the General Assembly and the Security Council pit the United States and Israel on one side, and virtually the entire rest of the world on the other. On October 21, 2003, for example, there was a vote in the UN General Assembly on a resolution condemning Israel’s so-called “security barrier,” a grotesque thing, parts of it larger and more formidable than the Berlin Wall, that Israel has built on occupied Palestinian territory. Supporting the resolution were 144 countries, representing nearly the entire world’s population. Twelve countries abstained. Just four countries opposed the resolution. They were: Israel, the United States, the Marshall Islands and Micronesia. The latter two member states, small island countries in the Pacific ocean with a combined population of 180,000, are utterly dependent on the US. And on December 9, 2003, the members of the UN General Assembly considered a resolution re-affirming the principle of Palestinian sovereignty. It received the backing of 142 states, including all the nations of Europe and South America. In this case as well, just four countries voted against the resolution: Israel, the US, the Marshall Islands and Micronesia. This reminds me of a story. A senior citizen whose brain didn’t work as well or as quickly as it once did, was driving on the freeway when his cell phone rang. He answered it, and heard his wife urgently warning him, “Charles, I just heard on the news that there's a car going the wrong way on the freeway. Please be careful!" Charles immediately replied: “Honey, it's not just one car. It's hundreds of them!" Well, like Charles, President Bush and Israeli premier Aerial Sharon insist that everyone else is recklessly going the wrong way. And as the United States and Israel increasingly regard the rest of the world as "out of step," most of humanity views the US and Israel with mounting distrust, hostility and fear. United States support for Israel did not come about because Americans are markedly more intelligent, humane or enlightened than, say, Norwegians, Japanese or Irish. No, the US-Israel alliance is, rather, a consequence, a result, of the Jewish-Zionist grip on American political and cultural life. Awareness of this fact is growing everyone. And along with that, ever more people understand the crucial factor behind the US invasion of Iraq was concern for Israel and its interests.Jewish-Zionist plans to overthrow the Iraqi regime by force were already in place well before George W. Bush became president. A group – a cabal -- of high-level, pro-Israel "neoconservative" Jews in the Bush administration -- including Paul Wolfowitz, Deputy Secretary of Defense; Richard Perle of the Pentagon’s Defense Policy Board; David Wurmser in the State Department; and Douglas Feith, the Pentagon’s Undersecretary for Policy – played a decisive role in prodding the United States into war in Iraq. / 3 This is so widely understood by Washington insiders that US Senator Ernest Hollings was moved last year to declare that Iraq was invaded, as he put it, to “secure Israel,” and that “everybody” – his word -- knows it. Referring to the cowardly reluctance of his Congressional colleagues to openly acknowledge this reality, Hollings said that “nobody is willing to stand up and say what is going on.” With few exceptions, members of Congress uncritically support Israel and its policies due to what Hollings called, “the pressures that we get politically.” / 4 In Britain, a veteran member of the House of Commons candidly declared in May 2003 that pro-Israel Jews had taken control of America’s foreign policy, and had succeeded in pushing the US and Britain into war in Iraq. “A Jewish cabal have taken over the government in the United States and formed an unholy alliance with fundamentalist Christians,”said Tam Dalyell, a Labour party deputy known as “Father of the House” because he is the longest-serving Member of Parliament. “There is far too much Jewish influence in the United States,” he added. / 5 By supporting Israel and its policies, the United States betrays not only its own national interests, but the principles it claims to embody and defend. The truth is, that if the United States held Israel to the same standards that it has applied to Iraq, Serbia, and other countries, American bombers and missiles would be blasting Tel Aviv, and we’d be putting Israeli prime minister Sharon behind bars for war crimes and crimes against humanity. Americans have already paid a high price for the US alliance with Israel. This includes tens of billions of dollars in economic and military aid to the Jewish state, the cost of the Iraq war and occupation, now more than $200 billion, and the deaths of more than fifteen hundred Americans there. Directly and indirectly, America's "special relationship" with Israel has also generated unprecedented distrust, fear and loathing of the United States around the world. In the years to come, the cost of the US alliance with Israel is certain to rise much more. As some Jewish leaders have openly acknowledged, the Iraq war is merely part of a long-range effort to install Israel-friendly regimes across the Middle East. Norman Podhoretz, a prominent Jewish writer and an ardent supporter of Israel, has been for years editor of Commentary, the influential Zionist monthly. In the September 2002 issue he wrote: “The regimes that richly deserve to be overthrown and replaced are not confined to the three singled-out members of the axis of evil [Iraq, Iran, North Korea]. At a minimum, the axis should extend to Syria and Lebanon and Libya, as well as ‘friends’ of America like the Saudi royal family and Egypt ’s Hosni Mubarak, along with the Palestinian Authority, whether headed by Arafat or one of his henchmen.” / 6 Now the world watches anxiously as the danger grows of war with Iran. Israel has threatened to attack Iran if it builds a nuclear reactor, and Iran has vowed to retaliate forcefully against any such assault. The US could easily be drawn into such a conflict, which would be much more destructive than the Iraq war. CONTINUED, NEXT REPLY.....

CONTINUED FROM PART 1 ABOVEThe Challenge of Jewish-Zionist Power in an Era of Global Struggle, Part 2 There are some who object to the power of the “Jewish lobby” because it supports, or, rather, makes possible, Israel ’s oppression of Palestinians. Others object because they are unhappy with this or that aspect of the lobby’s agenda. But to me this seems beside the point. Apart from the harmful consequences of this or that particular policy enforced by the Jewish lobby is the injustice and danger inherent in permitting any distinct minority group or interest to wield immense, disproportionate power and influence -- and especially in the country that is the world’s foremost military, economic and financial power, and most important cultural factor. Imagine the response, for example, if Mormons, or evangelical Christians, or African-Americans, or the tobacco companies, were to secure a grip on the American media and on America ’s political life comparable to that held by Jews. In reality, the Jewish hold on American life is far more dangerous than one that, in theory, might be held by any of the other groups I’ve mentioned. There are two main reasons for this: First, Jews in America have, manifestly, a staunch loyalty to a foreign country, Israel, that since its founding in 1948 has been embroiled in seemingly endless crises and conflicts with its neighbors, and which is now an formidable military power with a large nuclear arsenal. Second, because of the distrustful and even adversarial way that Jews view the rest of us. This latter remark may seem overstated, so I’ll try to explain. It is not merely that such great power is wielded by a small minority group, it’s that it is wielded by a group that, more than any other, has a pronounced sense of separateness from the rest of humanity, and which, accordingly, views its interests as quite distinct from those of everyone else. This Us vs. Them attitude, this mindset that sees Jews as distinct from, and superior to, the rest of humanity, is deeply rooted in the Jewish psyche.It is laid out in the Hebrew scriptures, the Torah, or, as most Christians call it, the Old Testament. / 7 In the book of Deuteronomy, for example, we read: “For you are a people holy to the Lord your God. The Lord your God has chosen you to be a people for his own possession, out of all the peoples that are on the face of the earth.” Jews or Hebrews are also referred to as a People that Shall Dwell Alone, or, in another translation, as “a people dwelling alone, and not reckoning itself among the nations.” In the book of Exodus, we read of the Jews as a people “distinct... from all other people that are upon the face of the earth.” In another passage, we are told, God says to his chosen people: “This day I will begin to put the dread and fear of you upon the peoples that are under the whole heaven, who shall hear the report of you and shall tremble and be in anguish because of you.” The ancient Jewish sense of alienation from, and abiding distrust of, non-Jews is also manifest in a remarkable essay published in April 2002 in the Forward, the prominent Jewish community weekly. Entitled “We’re Right, the Whole World’s Wrong,” it is written by Rabbi Dov Fischer, an attorney and a member of the Jewish Community Relations Committee of the Jewish Federation of Los Angeles. Rabbi Fischer is also national vice president of the Zionist Organization of America. / 8 So this essay was not written by an obscure or semi-literate scribbler, but rather by a prominent Jewish community figure. And it did not appear in the some marginal periodical, but rather in what is perhaps the most literate and thoughtful Jewish weekly in America, and certainly one of the most influential. In his essay, Rabbi Fischer tells readers: “If we Jews are anything, we are a people of history. .... Our history provides the strength to know that we can be right and the whole world wrong.” He goes on: “We were right, and the whole world was wrong. The Crusades. The blood libels and the Talmud burnings in England and France, leading those nations to expel Jews for centuries. The Spanish and Portuguese Inquisition. The ghettos and the Mortara case in Italy. Dreyfus in France. Beilis in Russia and a century’s persecution of Soviet Jewry.
“The Holocaust. Kurt Waldheim in Austria. Each time, Europe stood by silently -- or actively participated in murdering us -- and we alone were right, and the whole world was wrong.
“Today, once again, we alone are right and the whole world is wrong. The Arabs, the Russians, the Africans, the Vatican proffer their aggregated insights into and accumulated knowledge of the ethics of massacre. And the Europeans. Although we appreciate the half-century of West European democracy more than we appreciated the prior millennia of European brutality, we recognize who they are, what they have done -- and what’s what. ...
“We remember that the food they [Europeans] eat is grown from soil fertilized by 2,000 years of Jewish blood they have sprinkled onto it. Atavistic Jew-hatred lingers in the air into which the ashes rose from the crematoria...
“Yes, once again, we are right and the whole world is wrong. It doesn’t change a thing, but after 25 centuries it’s nice to know.”I can’t resist mentioning that some of the Rabbi’s remarks here are stupefying distortions of history. To speak, as he does, for example, of “a century’s persecution of Soviet Jewry” is a breathtaking falsehood. For one thing, the entire Soviet period lasted 72 years, not 100. And during at least some of that period, above all during the first ten years of the Soviet era, Jews wielded tremendous, if not dominant power in the Bolshevik regime. Or did Rabbi Fischer forget such figures as Leon Trotsky, commander in chief of the young Soviet state’s Red Army, Grigori Zinoviev, head of the Communist International, or Yakov Sverdlov, the first Soviet president. / 9 The Rabbi’s essay is noteworthy not so much for his distortions of fact, as it is for what it reveals of the mentality of the man who wrote it, and of the literate Jews who published and read it -- and for what it says about our times. For example, Fischer pins blame for “the Holocaust” -- that is, for the event that Jews routinely regard as the single most horrible crime in history, collectively on non-Jewish humanity. This view, which has gained wider acceptance in recent decades, represents a drastic re-writing of history. During World War II itself, of course, Jews did not dare say to non-Jewish Americans that they actually shared blame and guilt with “the Nazis” for murdering innocent Jews in Europe. During the war, Jews said just the opposite.During World War II, and for about some years after, the official story, the “party line,” if you will, was that responsibility and blame for the horrors of the Nazi era lay with Hitler and his “Nazi henchmen.” The official story in those days was that most Europeans -- French, Austrians, Poles, Hungarians, and so forth, and even most Germans – were victims of the evil Nazis. In recent decades the circle of guilt -- the list of perpetrators -- has grown steadily, so that not merely Hitler, or “the Nazis,” or “the Germans,” but now the French, the Hungarians, Poles, Ukrainians, the Vatican -- in short, all of Europe, indeed all non-Jewish humanity -- is held to be collectively responsible for this allegedly greatest of all human crimes. The most direct and obvious victims of Jewish-Zionist power are, of course, the Palestinians who live under Israel’s harsh rule. But we Americans are also victims. Through the Jewish-Zionist grip on the media, and the organized Jewish-Zionist corruption of our political system, we are pressured, seduced, cajoled, and deceived into propping up the Jewish state, providing it with billions of dollars yearly and state-of-the-art weaponry, and even sacrificing American lives.But it is also the truth that we Americans share some responsibility for all this. We have allowed immense power, affecting every aspect of our lives and our future, to be wielded by members of an ethnic-religious minority group who view the American people as future enemies and potential murderers. Put another way, Americans have permitted people who regard them with profound distrust to play a major role in determining how we live our lives, and in determining our future both as individuals and as a nation. To permit such power to pass into the hands of people who clearly do not have our best interests at heart -- indeed, do not even trust us -- is, to put it mildly, irresponsible. I want to emphasize here that to deal candidly with the reality of Jewish-Zionist power is not, as some may claim, “anti-Semitism” or “hate.” We do not wish harm to any individual, Jewish or not, because of his or her ancestry, religion or background. At the same time, we should not let smears or malicious accusations, no matter how vehemently expressed, keep us from saying the truth, or doing what is right.One of the most important centers of Jewish-Zionist power is the Simon Wiesenthal Center. Headquartered in Los Angeles, it reports a membership of more than 300,000 and an annual income of $27 million, including $10 million in taxpayer funds. The Center and its head, Rabbi Marvin Hier, wield considerable political power. According to the Los Angeles Times Magazine, "Hier has accrued unprecedented clout in the Legislature, on Capitol Hill, in the city's boardrooms and even in Hollywood.” / 10 The Center’s imposing “Museum of Tolerance” in West Los Angeles, which presents a relentlessly Jewish-Zionist version of history, reportedly draws 350,000 visitors yearly, including tens of thousands of school children. Although it claims to promote “tolerance,” the Center’s real agenda is a narrowly Jewish-Zionist one. It is a staunch supporter of Israel and its Jewish supremacist regime. It fervently defends Israel’s policies of oppression, occupation, dispossession, and institutionalized discrimination against non-Jews. The Center supports Israeli policies that violate United Nations Security Council resolutions. It applauds Israel ’s “security fence,” a hideous barrier that is part of a long-term Zionist effort to seize land of non-Jews, and which the International Court of Justice says is illegal. While the Center denounces violence and terrorism against Jews, it sanctions Zionist terrorism. It has publicly honored two Israeli leaders – Menachem Begin and Yitzhak Shamir – each of whom has a well-documented record as a terrorist. The Center has a long record of reckless propaganda for war. For years it had been pressing for an American attack against Iraq, backing its warmongering with alarmist claims about the supposed danger posed by the Baghdad regime. As long ago as November 1990, Rabbi Hier was telling readers of a piece he wrote that appeared in Newsweek magazine: “I think the United States should go in. Maybe not tomorrow, but very soon… Three years from now, Iraq will have nuclear weapons.” / 11 In the Spring 1991 issue of its glossy magazine, Response, the Center was claiming that Iraq was killing Iranian prisoners in German-built gas chambers. The Center’s magazine went on to claim that German firms were producing Zyklon B gas in Iraq, "the chemical used by the Germans to murder millions of Jews during the Nazi Holocaust." Iranian prisoners of war, the Center’s magazine said, were being killed with Zyklon B "in gas chambers specially designed for the Iraqis by the German company Rhema Labortechnik… An eyewitness reported the [Iraqi] gas chambers were tiled to look like operating rooms, with a separated observation room for each gas chamber with reinforced glass visibility." / 12 Of course, these fantastic claims had no basis in reality.In a statement issued in October 2002, several months before the US invasion of Iraq, the Wiesenthal Center insisted that war was necessary because the Saddam Hussein regime had been “continuing to stockpile weapons of mass destruction.” Moreover, the Center went on to assert: “For while there are other tyrants, Saddam alone stands as a menace to world order and stability. While there are others who possess chemical and biological weapons of mass destruction, only Saddam has shown an eagerness to use them.” / 13 As the world now knows, these claims were not true. In the view of Dr. Frank Knopfelmacher, a prominent Australian Jewish scholar, the Wiesenthal Center foments "ethnic hatred.” Australia government officials, he says, should have "banned the members of the Simon Wiesenthal Center from entering Australia and should have deported those who were here.” / 14 Through its Museum, its glossy magazine, Response, and other propaganda materials, the Center relentlessly exploits painful memories of the Holocaust and Jewish suffering during World War II to raise millions of dollars annually. In a book entitled One, by One, by One, author Judith Miller, the New York Times journalist who has been in the news a lot lately, wrote: “The enormous success of the Simon Wiesenthal Center has given new meaning to what was once a macabre in-house joke ... 'There is no business like Shoah business'." / 15 (“Shoah" is the Hebrew term for Holocaust.) A few years ago, the director of Israel's Yad Vashem Holocaust center said: “Rabbi Hier and the Wiesenthal Center are, in my opinion, the most extreme of those who utilize the Holocaust. The Jewish people does many vulgar things, but the Wiesenthal Center [has] raised it to a complete level: The optimum use of sensitive issues in order to raise money…” / 16 The Wiesenthal Center has been a major player in what American Jewish scholar Norman Finkelstein calls the “shakedown” campaign by Israel and organized Jewry to extort billions of dollars from European countries and corporations. Finkelstein, author of the bestselling study, The Holocaust Industry, calls the Center “a gang of heartless and immoral crooks, whose hallmark is that they will do anything for a dollar.” / 17 At a time of belt-tightening by California and other states, with money short for schools and highways, it is all the more outrageous that millions of dollars in taxpayer funds go to support this wealthy bastion of Jewish-Zionist power, and its bigoted, self-serving agenda. The Wiesenthal Center deserves the scorn and contempt of every decent person. And that’s why, on Friday, July 29, we’ll be rallying at the Wiesenthal Center’s offices in Los Angeles to focus attention on the Center’s record of lies in support of war, Zionist oppression and Jewish supremacism, and to protest the giveaway of millions of dollars in taxpayer funds to this bulwark of Jewish-Zionist power. * * * * A few of those who are here this evening have come, perhaps, out of simple curiosity, or to meet others who are attending. But for most of us, we are here this evening because we care. We care about what is right and wrong. We care about what is true and not true. We care about the past and, more importantly, we care about the future. We care about the world we live in. We feel a sense of responsibility for the world we’ve inherited, and for the world of the future. We want to make a difference – to make this a better world – a world that, even beyond our own lifetimes, is more just and right.Some of us may feel a special concern for the cause of peace, mindful of the destruction, suffering, and death of war. Some may feel a special concern for justice, perhaps especially for the people who have lived for decades under Zionist occupation. Some of us may feel a special concern for the welfare and future of his or her own culture, race or nation, while others may feel a responsibility for the future of all mankind.
Regardless of the particular causes or principles that most move us, that are closest to our hearts, no issue is of greater urgency than breaking the Jewish-Zionist grip on American political, social and cultural life. As long as this power remains entrenched, there will be no end to the systematic Jewish distortion of history and current affairs, the Jewish-Zionist domination of the US political system, Zionist oppression of Palestinians, the bloody conflict between Jews and non-Jews in the Middle East, and the Israeli threat to peace.
Throughout history Jews have time and again wielded great power to further group interests that are separate from, and often contrary to, those of the non-Jewish populations among whom they live. This creates an inherently unjust and unstable situation that, as history shows, never endures.
Now we are engaged in a great, global struggle -- in which two distinct and irreconcilable sides confront each other. A struggle that pits a self-assured and diabolical power that feels ordained to rule over others, on one side, and all other nations and societies -- indeed, humanity itself -- on the other.
This struggle is not a new one. It is the latest enactment of a great drama that has played itself out again and again, over centuries, and in many different societies, cultures and historical eras. In the past this drama has played itself out on a local, national, regional, or, sometimes, continental stage. Today this is a global drama, and a global clash.
It is a struggle for the welfare and future not merely of the Middle East, or of America, but a great historical battle for the soul and future of humanity itself. A struggle that calls all of us here this evening – and many more across the country and around the world – who share a sense of responsibility for the future of humankind.
Some of those here this evening have already done much. But so much more still needs to be done. To expose and stand against this insidious power is often difficult and disheartening work, but it is absolutely necessary. During this momentous historical era, we pledge to carry on in this struggle, for the sake not only of our own nation and heritage, but for all humanity.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Notes 1.

Don't Forget: Memorial Day is About Memory, Not Amnesia By Danny Schechter MediaChannel.org New York, May 26, 2006 — We all know, all of us in America anyway, that Memorial Day weekend marks the start of summer. It’s about the downtime ahead, the vacation that’s coming, the shutting down of the serious in anticipation of fun in the sun. Officially, it is also about honoring the dead, and there will be parades by veterans and flags flying on TV newscasts. Most of it is set in the present with little referencing of the past or memory itself. Memories work on us on every level, especially when they slip out of mind. A memory exhibit at the Exploratorium Museum touches on the usual: “You get to school and realize you forgot your lunch at home. You take a test and you can't remember half the answers. You see the new kid who just joined your class, and you can't remember his name. Some days, it seems like your brain is taking a holiday--you can't remember anything!” But memories are not just individual properties. Societies have memories, or should, and our news world and information technologies could, or should, have the capacity to keep us in touch with our collective memory, our recent history, the only context in which new facts find meaning.I like to joke about my own “senior moments” but cultures have them too---and often, not always by accident. In our culture, it is often by design. The frequent references we hear to “political amnesia” is not just commentary but an allusion to a social pathology, a deliberate process of actually disconnecting us from our past and history. The blogger Billmon writes: “I don't know if it's a byproduct of decades of excessive exposure to television, the state of America's educational system, or something in the water, but the ability of the average journalist -- not to mention the average voter -- to remember things that happened just a few short months ago appears to be slipping into the abyss.“If this keeps up, we're going to end up like the villagers in One Hundred Years of Solitude, who all contracted a rare form of jungle amnesia, so virulent they were reduced to posting signs on various objects -- "I AM A COW. MILK ME" or "I AM A GATE. OPEN ME" -- just so they could get on with their daily lives.” A 1991 science fiction film called "Total Recall” pictured political amnesia, in the words of Michael Rogin as, “an essential aspect of the postmodern American empire." A book by Andreas Huyssen takes another tact, arguing, “Rather than blaming amnesia on television or the school, Twilight Memories argues that the danger of amnesia is inherent in the information revolution. Our obsessions with cultural memory can be read as re-representing a powerful reaction against the electronic archive and they mark a shift in the way we live structures of temporality.” But whatever the causes, the consequences are truly frightening. When 63% of young people can’t find Iraq on a map after three years of war and coverage, you know that the institutions that claim to be informing us are doing everything but. Our amnesia about recent developments seems to be induced and reinforced by the very fast paced entertainment-oriented formats that we have become addicted to as sources of news and knowledge. They keep us in the present, in the now, disconnected from any larger ideas or analytical framework. No wonder some studies find that news viewers rapidly forget what they have just seen. That is what is intended to happen. No wonder, as Jay Leno shows when he contrasts a photo of a cultural icon with an elected official, that the public recognizes the former, not the latter. We recognize Mr. Peanut, not Jimmy Carter. More people vote for the best performer on American Idol than for our presidents. The architects of TV News know this from their market surveys and studies. It is this very media effect that they hype to lure advertisers to their real business: selling our eyeballs to sponsors, not deepening our awareness. Depoliticizing our culture is a media necessity in a society driven by consumerism. Every programmer knows the drill. It’s a market logic called “KISS:” Keep It Simple and Stupid. A national curriculum, Lessons From History on the teaching of the past realizes that this phenomenon threatens democracy warning, “Citizens without a common memory, based on common historical studies, may lapse into political amnesia, and be unable to protect freedom, justice, and self-government during times of national crisis. Citizens must understand that democracy is a process--not a finished product--and that controversy and conflict are essential to its success.” So even as this dialectic is deplored, it is, sadly, quite functional. “We're forgetting the past,” says Historian Howard Zinn, “because neither our educational system nor our media inform us about the past. For instance, the history of the Vietnam War has been very much forgotten. I believe this amnesia is useful to those conducting our present foreign policy. It would be embarrassing if the story of the Vietnam War were told at a time when we are engaged in a war which has some of the same characteristics: government deception, the killing of civilians through bombing, scaring the American people (world communism in that case, terrorism in this one).”So on Memorial Day and in the season ahead, think of how to encourage remembering, not just about the dead, but for the living. Our future depends on how we understand the past. Political Annesia is the enemy in our A.D.D culture.Please don’t forget. Oh, too bad, you already have…. — News Dissector Danny Schechter is "blogger in chief" of Mediachannel.org. His new books and film are listed at at www.newsdissectorSource: www.mediachannel.org/affalert419.shtmlNOTE FROM MICHELLE: I have posted info on this book before. I can't stress enough how important this is for peremptory thinking on the effects of television. For further reading get a copy of:FOUR ARGUMENTS FOR THE ELIMINATION OF TELEVISIONBy Jerry Mander Copyright: 1977, 1978 Now and as a child I always had my nose in a book. This is what most likely saved my ability to think for myself. After reading Mr. Mander's book in the 1980s my TV would remain dormant up to 6 months at a time. This book explains how the effects of implanted imagery are ideal preconditions for autocracy. I urge you to find a copy of this book; back copies are available And for God's sake, keep your kids away from the TV!

CRASH THE PARTY!!! If you still believe conditions in the USA and around the world will improve if Democrats win upcoming pivotal elections, think again. END OUR TWO PARTY SYSTEM!!! Unless your Rep has shown alliance to the people and the Constitution, do not vote for them. There are other parties that have been able to get on the ballots by collecting enough signatures. Did you know that in the past Congress has passed laws such as this, that they put up legislation to keep third parties out of electoral races? Why would they do this? So you have no choice, because... THE DEMOCRATS AND THE REPUBLICANS SERVE THE SAME MASTERS! Read on........Michelle[/color] Neocons in the Democratic Party Like Kennedy and Truman, Democratic neocons want to beef up the military and won't run from a fight.By Jacob Heilbrunn, Jacob Heilbrunn, a former Times editorial writer, is writing a book on neoconservatism.May 28, 2006 DON'T LOOK now, but neoconservatism is making a comeback — and not among the Republicans who have made it famous but in the Democratic Party. A host of pundits and young national security experts associated with the party are calling for a return to the Cold War precepts of President Truman to wage a war against terror that New Republic Editor Peter Beinart, in the title of his provocative new book, calls "The Good Fight." The fledgling neocons of the left are based at places such as the Progressive Policy Institute, whose president, Will Marshall, has just released a volume of doctrine called "With All Our Might: A Progressive Strategy for Defeating Jihadism and Defending Liberty." Beinart's book is subtitled "Why Liberals — and Only Liberals — Can Win the War on Terror and Make America Great Again." Their political champions include Connecticut Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman and such likely presidential candidates as former Virginia Gov. Mark Warner and Iowa Gov. Tom Vilsack, who is chairman of the Democratic Leadership Council. This new crop of liberal hawks calls for expanding the existing war against terrorism, beefing up the military and promoting democracy around the globe while avoiding the anti-civil liberties excesses of the Bush administration. They support a U.S. government that would seek multilateral consensus before acting abroad, but one that is not scared to use force when necessary. These Democrats want to be seen as anything but the squishes who have led the party to defeat in the past. Interestingly, that's how the early neocons saw themselves too: as liberals fighting to reclaim their party's true heritage — before they decamped to the GOP in the 1980s.Indeed, the credo of the new Democratic hawks is eerily reminiscent of the neocons of the 1970s, who ran a full-page ad in the New York Times called "Come Home, Democrats" after George McGovern's crushing defeat, in a play on his campaign slogan "Come Home, America." In it, early neocons such as Jeane Kirkpatrick and Norman Podhoretz called for a return to the principles of — you guessed it — Truman and President Kennedy. They lamented the fact that their party had been taken over by the forces backing McGovern's run for the presidency in 1972 and wanted to purge the party of the McGovernites. They didn't want self-abasement about U.S. sins abroad but a vigorous fighting faith that promoted the American creed of liberty and human rights abroad and at home. Now, a generation later, as the crusading Republican neoconservatism espoused by Weekly Standard Editor William Kristol and others lies in the smoking rubble of Baghdad, a new generation of Democrats wants to dust off and rehabilitate those traditional Democratic principles, which they believe were hijacked by the Bush administration. They want, in essence, to return to the beliefs that originally brought the neocons to prominence, the beliefs that motivated old-fashioned Cold War liberals such as Democratic Sen. Henry "Scoop" Jackson. Where will all this lead? To an internecine Democratic war, of course. Just as Republicans are being riven by debates between realists and Bush administration idealists, so the Democratic Party is about to witness its own battle. Just as the old neocons wanted to expel the McGovernites, so the new ones want to rid the party of the Moveon.org types and move it to the right. As Beinart puts it, "whatever its failings, the right at least knows that America's enemies need to be fought." In "With All Our Might," scholars Larry Diamond and Michael McFaul — both Democrats — outline a comprehensive democracy-promotion program. For example, they imaginatively call for transplanting the 1975 Helsinki accords, which insisted upon human rights monitoring in the former Warsaw Pact nations, to the Middle East. "Freedom," they exhort, "is the fundamental antidote to all forms of tyranny, terror and oppression." Other Democrats, who call themselves the "Sept. 11 generation," have formed what is known as the Truman National Security Project, whose avowed aim is to revive the "strong security, strong values of the Democratic Party — for Democrats of all ages." Does this simply sound like Bush-lite? To the right and the left, it probably will, but the main opposition facing the would-be Truman successors will come from the latter. The battle will come from the generation of Democrats who came of age during the 1960s and who were instrumental in finishing off "Cold War liberalism" because of its failures in the jungles of Vietnam. Vietnam, remember, was a liberal, not a conservative, war, undertaken by warrior intellectuals who were liberal at home but saw falling dominoes everywhere around the world. (The same lack of nuance plagues the Bush administration, which has been trying to depict a global kind of Islamic totalitarianism, when the foe, as in the Cold War, is really more diffuse and less of a monolith than American leaders are prepared to believe.)The Moveon.org types are hardly prepared to go down without a fight. At the moment, with no end to the imbroglio in Iraq in sight, they — the populist left — are poised for their greatest influence in the party since the McGovern era. The new Democratic hawks, like the old neoconservatives of the 1970s, represent an insurgency, a direct challenge to the establishment. And if they are to revamp the party, they will have to do a lot more than simply evoke the ghost of Truman and Co. Still, it is amusing to see that at the very moment when hawkish realists are trying to extirpate the neocon credo in the Republican Party, it's being revived in the Democratic Party that first brought it to life.

CHEMTRAILS STORY HITS MAINSTREAM NEWS ON NBC Note: In certain circles, the phenomenon of chemtrails is hotly debated. Very rarely does it make the news. The fact that NBC in LA is reporting on this is big. Don't miss the video news report available free online at: www.nbc4.tv/video/9265818/detail.html (as reported by Fred Burks fredburks@earthlink.net>)Special Report: 'Toxic Sky?" (May 24, 2006, NBC Los Angeles)www.nbc4.tv/news/9155725/detail.htmlIt's a quiet mountain community, but some residents claim something's happening in the sky that's making them sick. Mystery clouds and unusual contrails ... Is it a weather experiment on a massive scale? In a Channel 4 News investigation, Paul Moyer looks into why some say the government is manipulating the weather. ************************ A DISCUSSION AND WHERE TO GO FOR MORE INFORMATION
People! "You are being scammed by domestic enemies big time. No one has the right to spray you with toxic, heavy metals, chemicals, germs, biological substances, or crystalline polymer/hi-tech conducting fibrils. Whoever is zapping and spraying Americans and Europeans must be a militarized country or a very rich, corrupt clique powerful enough to have access to advanced, directed energy weapons. A clique that buys, blackmails, or coerces high-ranking, military leaders, intelligence agents, politicians, world industrial leaders, and any other useful person they need from many, various sources and countries. Their fingers in every pie, so to speak. " Think on that one while you read on.
Countries reporting spraying include Australia, Canada, England, France, Germany, Holland, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, New Zealand, Scotland, Spain and the United States. NOTE: This spray list does not include China, Russia nor the Middle East. The US has reported spraying in virtually every state and virtually every major US city including surrounding suburbs.
I have been following chemtrail data for years and weekly watch my skies being crisscrossed with chemtrails. Chemtrails are not to be confused with contrails. Chemtrails, as opposed to contrails, take three or more hours to dissipate. Regular contrails disappear in about 20 minutes. Chemtrails tend to look flat. Another feature different from ordinary contrails is that mature chemtrails display a vertical curtain of fall-off. Intense chemtrail spraying is done in tic-tac-toe, "X" and grids patterns.
Look to your skies; have you not noticed that after this spraying, beautiful sunny days turn to total cloud cover by late morning or early afternoon? Have you not noticed the unusual amount of people you know with chronic upper respiratory infections, severe eye irritation, odd skin rashes, chronic fatigue, brain fog, flu-like symptoms, swelling of muscles and joints, dizziness, nausea, stiff neck, sore throats? These are symptoms associated with and reported during chemtrail spraying.
As noted above in the article, The biggest con: Democrats & Republicans work together to destroy America, part 1 -3, "Chemtrails have been sprayed across America by the military and contractors almost daily since at least 1998 -- begun by Democrat Bill Clinton. Chemtrails include aluminum and barium oxides, the very toxic pesticide ethylene bromide and raw jet fuel occasionally mixed with bio germ toxic cocktails like pseudomonas fluorescens and mycoplasma. Amy Worthington’s “Chemtrails: Delivery System for Dept. of Death’s Toxic Cocktails” details some of the biochemical warfare ‘experiments’ the military has conducted on the American people in the last 50 years. The sharp increase of respiratory illnesses and various cancers indicates they are succeeding at killing many thousands with compromised immune systems and weakening others exposed to CTs."
Over the past few years a multitude of people I know and have spoken with have been hit with what their doctor's call Walking Pneumonia. This condition lasts for months and antibiotics do not seem to help. I know this because many sought me out for advice on natural treatments after countless trips to the doctor or emergency room. A few older people I know had cultures taken and were told they had an extremely nasty type of Pseudomonas lung infection.
Samples from chemtrails have been shown to contain Pseudomonas Aeruginosa which invade and attack the respiratory system. Once infected by this bacteria, the linings of the lungs produce a thick mucous which results in breathing difficulties, coughing fits, and shortness of breath, following only minor physical exertion. After the infections have taken hold, Aeruginosa generates a wide range of toxic proteins which cause extensive tissue damage and severely compromises the immune system. It is also associated with bronchitis, pneumonia, ear and eye infections, meningitis, muscle and joint pain, cystic fibrosis, and gastrointestinal distress. Aeruginosa is also very antibiotic-resistant.
Low level spraying contains molds and fungi and produces varying symptoms including: * headaches worse than migraines * heartburn * heart conditions * heart arrest, on the rare occasion * flu-like symptoms * extreme fatigue * diarrhea * pain and swelling of muscles and joints * dizziness * nausea * stiff neck * nagging sore throat * general malaise. Symptoms last up to three months and beyond, and are not typical of flu. Symptoms are not readily treatable by known antibiotics.
I have been told of a new emerging disease called Morgellons Disease that are a recent addition to the solution in chemtrails . I cannot use this person as an official source, so I looked up what I could [and there is much] on Morgellons. In every case reported, people say that it feels like bugs crawling under their skin. Also, people who have contracted the disease have sores which ooze blue fibers, white threads and little black specks of sand-like material. Now come on, what disease, what human body can spontaneously generate fibers and threads???!!!
These dark assaults to compromise your bodies’ functioning and natural healing ability are exacerbated by the electromagnetic waves in your cell phones, computers, and the very atmosphere that sustains your life. Other factors are the effects of pollution in your water, soil and air, and the proliferation of prescription drugs with their contraindications. This is a formidable combination intended to cause illness, debilitation, depression and death, and to some extent, it is difficult to avoid at this time.
I am not a medical adviser, but I can suggest that if a day is sunny and there are no chemtrails, do absorb the sun’s rays using pure aloe as skin protection—the sun is not the menace that the medical establishment makes it out to be! This seems a simplistic aid, but during and after the trails are laid, stay indoors if you can, and if you can’t, cover your body completely. Use natural rather than chemical products to reduce or relieve symptoms........Michelle
Below are a few of the sites and info I found through a google search www.google.com/search?q=Morgellons+disease&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&start=0&sa=N Morgellons Research Foundation: We refer to this infectious disease as "Morgellons Disease", due to the need for a ... The cause of Morgellons Disease is currently a medical mystery. ... www.morgellons.org/ ************************************** Transcript of a Four Part Series on CBS 47 Jacksonville News SNIP:A mysterious skin disease is currently spreading across America, and doctors are searching for answers on how to stop the epidemic. The disease, called Morgellons Disease, is a parasite-like infection that literally makes the infected person's skin crawl. The disease has already been found in thousands of patients in Florida , Texas and California. “I would lay in the bed and it felt like an army of ants just crawling over the bed, all over my body,” says one Morgellons Disease sufferer.“It never goes away,” says another. “It doesn't die, it doesn't leave.”What sounds like a science fiction movie is actually real life for the unlucky people who have contracted the disease which leaves painful sores all over the body. The sores ooze blue fibers, white threads and little black specks of sand-like material. What is known, is that many of people who may have it, suffer from these symptoms: constant itching/crawling sensation, chronic fatigue, brain fog or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, bipolar disorder, depression, joint swelling or hair loss, Original article and video interview may be found here: www.safesolutionsinc.com/morgellons.htm ********************************** Making Their Skin Crawl People with creepy symptoms find a diagnosis on the Internet. But are they jumping to conclusions? BY BENJAMIN CHERTOFF Photograph by Brent Humphreys Published in the June, 2005 issue. SNIP:Miles Lawrence, a landscaper in Florence, Texas, was supposed to be packing for a road trip to Las Vegas when he noticed his finger tingling. He stared in disbelief, he says, as "little spiny things" sprouted out of the skin where he'd just removed a splinter. He grasped one of the spines with tweezers and pulled.Instantly, he says, a bolt of pain shot up his arm. He tugged on another one and the pain snaked up his neck. Then the really creepy part began. "It felt like bugs under the skin of my arms, in my joints," Lawrence says. "I freaked out." Another prominent dermatologist, who insisted on anonymity out of concern for his safety, says he has diagnosed 50 or so Morgellons patients with cutaneous dysaesthesia--a neurological disorder that can result in the sensation of scuttling insects. And the spiny things? "In every case I've seen it's a textile fiber, and it's on the surface of the skin," he says. He typically puts a cast over the lesions to prevent further irritation and after four weeks removes it. "Guess what?" he says. "The lesions are healed." Leitao and other Morgellons activists say that, with the Web as a primary tool, they'll continue working to have the illness investigated as an infectious disease. Doctors interviewed by PM say this unilateral approach hinders objective analysis of symptoms they've seen for decades. Well, all symptoms except for one: Widespread reports of the strange fibers date back only three years, to the time they were first described online, at www.morgellons.org. Source: www.popularmechanics.com/science/medicine/1662162.html ****************************** Morgellons Disease What, Who, Where, When, Why, and HowOur Research What You Can Do Registration Links and Resources (including MP3 audio interview w/ Dr. Wymore) WhatMorgellons is a multi-symptom disease that is just now starting to be researched and understood. It has a number primary symptoms: Physical Skin Lesions Sensation of crawling and biting on and under the skin Appearance of fibers & granules coming out of the skin Fatigue Mental Short term memory loss Attention Deficit, Bipolar or Obsessive-Compulsive disorders Impaired thought processing (brain fog) It is frequently misdiagnosed as Delusional Parasitosis WhoChildren and adults both can have the disease. Individuals in families can have the disease while other members do not. Multiple members of a family can sometimes have symptoms. There are over 3,000 households registered with the Morgellon's foundation. The Morgellons Foundation is the main conduit for information and networking between sufferers and medical professionals. WhereMost cases in the USA are from California, Texas and Florida, though all 50 states have had reported cases. There are clusters of the disease in specific geographic regions of California and Texas. Oklahoma has at least a dozen possible cases. It has been reported throughout Europe, South Africa, Japan, Philippines, Indonesia and Australia WhenThe MRF began registering people with symptoms of the disease in 2002. The name 'Morgellons Disease' is based on the description of a similar fiber producing condition, found in children by Sir Thomas Browne in 1674. Microscopic drawings, dating from 1682, by Dr. Michel Etmuller, appear to be similar to the fibers from present-day sufferers. There is no evidence giving preference to one season over another being a more likely time to contract the disease. There are patients who have claimed to have had the symptoms for as long as 2 decades. Most were diagnosed with Delusional Parasitosis.Medical research started in earnest in 2005 at Oklahoma State University Center for Health Science in Tulsa. WhyThere are doctors who believe it is related to an infectious agent, perhaps in the same family as that which causes Lyme Disease. This is not proven at this time. Morgellons is coming to the forefront now due to the concerted effort of the Morgellons Foundation, founded by Mary Leitao to help her son, Drew, who has Morgellons. Attention needs to be drawn to Morgellons so: Doctors will become informed and make accurate diagnoses Major government organizations (the CDC for example) will pay attention and start funding further research How There is no definitive understanding yet on how the disease is transmitted. There is no conclusion yet on if it is contagious. Some families have only one member who is affected and the others are not, even after long exposure. There are also multiple sufferers within a single family. It will be cured by enough research being done to find its cause. You can help by contributing time, money and resources. You can help by spreading accurate information about the disease and combatting ignorance about it. SOURCE: www.healthsciences.okstate.edu/morgellons/ *************************** Is Morgellons Disease Caused By Chemtrail Spraying? By Ted Twietmeyer tedtw@frontiernet.net 5-14-6 There is a strong similarity of Morgellons disease fibers to those found in man-made chemtrails as shown below: In the above images, we can see that many of the fiber sizes are the same, since both samples are under the same magnification. Of course, we can't state conclusively these fibers are one and the same without a chemical analysis. Common characteristics of both types of fibers appear to be similar size and chaotic, uncontrolled growth. If these fibers are the result of highly advanced nanotechnology then we have found the disease, and possible who is behind it. But what would be the purpose of forcing this ailment on the population? Torture? To create a new pandemic in order to sell a new drug for a "treatment?" According to the Texas television news report, one young man who recently contracted the painful disease has committed suicide as a result of trying to deal with the pain.

William Thomas and Cliff Carnicom have both identified the fibers as part of the chemtrail fall out YEARS ago--AT LEAST 5 YEARS AGO They both had posted chemtrail analysis articles at their web sites that included photos of the VERY SAME FIBERS you see at the Morgellon web sites.

We know that the military is using virtual imaging and communications technologies that require seeding the sky with various particulates (including barium, aluminum and copper). We know that non-government environmental organizations have convinced governments that financing the introduction of certain particulates via aerial spraying will inhibit global warming. We know the relative toxicity of the substances (primarily heavy metals) admittedly being sprayed. We know that the spraying agenda has been ongoing since the mid-90s. And now we are beginning to see the "fallout" of these operations. At what cost must the plants, animals and humans of the world endure the military’s desire for advanced communications and virtual imaging systems? What is the net benefit of allegedly minimizing global warming when the process is toxic to all life on earth? It would appear that chemtrails, for all they have done to enhance various technologies, are causing what may turn out to be irreparable damage to the natural order upon which living things depend for survival. Specific to human survival, it would appear that intensified aerial spraying is globally suppressing immune function, prepping our bodies to be suitable hosts for promoting the proliferation of an influenza pandemic that will be blamed on birds.

Why the Dollar Bubble is about to Burst Steve Masterson – IndyMedia UK June 14, 2006 London - 24 May, 2006 - The Voice (issue 264 - 11th May) ran an article beginning, "Iran has really gone and done it now. No, they haven't sent their first nuclear sub in to the Persian Gulf. They are about to launch something much more deadly – next week the Iran Bourse will open to trade oil, not in dollars but in euros." This apparently insignificant event has consequences far greater for the US people, indeed all for us all, than is imaginable.Currently almost all oil buying and selling is in US-dollars through exchanges in London and New York. It is not accidental they are both US-owned. The Wall Street crash in 1929 sparked off global depression andWorld War II. During that war the US supplied provisions and munitions to all its allies, refusing currency and demanding gold payments in exchange. By 1945, 80% of the world's gold was sitting in US vaults. The dollar became the one undisputed global reserve currency -- it was treated world-wide as `safer than gold'. The Bretton Woods agreement was established. The US took full advantage over the next decades and printed dollars like there was no tomorrow. The US exported many mountains of dollars, paying for ever-increasing amounts of commodities, tax cuts for the rich, many wars abroad, mercenaries, spies and politicians the world over. You see, this did not affect inflation at home! The US got it all for free! Well, maybe for a forest or two. Over subsequent decades the world's vaults bulged at the seams andmore and more vaults were built, just for US dollars. Each year, theUS spends many more dollars abroad that at home. Analysts pretty much agree that outside the US, of the savings, or reserves, of all other countries, in gold and all currencies -- that a massive 66% of this total wealth is in US dollars! In 1971 several countries simultaeously tried to sell a small portion of their dollars to the US for gold. Krassimir Petrov, (Ph. D. in Economics at Ohio University) recently wrote, "The US Government defaulted on its payment on August 15, 1971. While popular spin told the story of `severing the link between the dollar and gold', in reality the denial to pay back in gold was an act of bankruptcy by the US Government." (1) The 1945 Bretton Woods agreement was unilaterally smashed. The dollar and US economy were on a precipice resembling Germany in 1929. The US now had to find a way for the rest of the world to believe and have faith in the paper dollar. The solution was in oil, in the petrodollar. The US viciously bullied first Saudi Arabia and then OPEC to sell oil for dollars only -- it worked, the dollar was saved. Now countries had to keep dollars to buy much needed oil. And the US could buy oil all over the world, free of charge. What a Houdini for the US! Oil replaced gold as the new foundation to stop the paper dollar sinking. Since 1971, the US printed even more mountains of dollars to spend abroad. The trade defecit grew and grew. The US sucked-in much of the world's products for next to nothing. More vaults were built. Expert, Cóilínn Nunan, wrote in 2003, "The dollar is the de facto world reserve currency: the US currency accounts for approximately two thirds of all official exchange reserves. More than four-fifths of all foreign exchange transactions and half of all world exports are denominated in dollars. In addition, all IMF loans are denominated in dollars." (2) Dr Bulent Gukay of Keele University recently wrote, "This system of the US dollar acting as global reserve currency in oil trade keeps the demand for the dollar `artificially' high. This enables the US to carry out printing dollars at the price of next to nothing to fund increased military spending and consumer spending on imports. There is no theoretical limit to the amount of dollars that can be printed. As long as the US has no serious challengers, and the other states have confidence in the US dollar, the system functions." (3) Until recently, the US-dollar has been safe. However, since 1990 western Europe has been busy growing, swallowing up central and eastern Europe. French and German bosses were jealous of the US ablility to buy goods and people the world over for nothing. They wanted a slice of the free cake too. Further, they now had the power and established the euro in late 1999 against massive US-inspired opposition across Europe, especially from Britain - paid for in dollars of course. But the euro succeeded. Only months after the euro-launch, Saddam's Iraq announced it was switching from selling oil in dollars only, to euros only -- breaking the OPEC agreement. Iran, Russia, Venezuela, Libya, all began talking openly of switching too -- were the floodgates about to be opened? Then aeroplanes flew into the twin-towers in September 2001. Was this another Houdini chance to save the US (petro)dollar and the biggest financial/economic crash in history? War preparations began in the US. But first war-fever had to be created -- and truth was the first casualty. Other oil producing countries watched-on. In 2000 Iraq began selling oil in euros. In 2002, Iraq changed all their petro-dollars in their vaults into euros. A few months later, the US began their invasion of Iraq. The whole world was watching: very few aware that the US was engaging in the first oil currency, or petrodollar war. After the invasion of Iraq in March 2003, remember, the US secured oil areas first. Their first sales in August were, of course, in dollars, again. The only government building in Baghdad not bombed was the Oil Ministry! It does not matter how many people are murdered -- for the US, the petrodollar must be saved as the only way to buy and sell oil -- otherwise the US economy will crash, and much more besides. In early 2003, Hugo Chavez, President of Venezuela talked openly of selling half of its oil in euros (the other half is bought by the US). On 12 April 2003, the US-supported business leaders and some generals in Venezuela kidnapped Chavez and attempted a coup. The masses rose against this and the Army followed suit. The coup failed. This was bad for the US. In November 2000 the euro/dollar was at $0.82 dollars, its lowest ever, and still diving, but when Iraq started selling oil in euros, the euro dive was halted. In April 2002 senior OPEC reps talked about trading in euros and the euro shot up. In June 2003 the US occupiers of Iraq switched trading back to dollars and the euro fell against the dollar again. In August 2003 Iran starts to sell oil in euros to some European countries and the euro rises sharply. In the winter of 2003-4 Russian and OPEC politicians talked seriously of switching oil/gas sales to the euro and the euro rose. In February 2004 OPEC met and made no decision to turn to the euro -- and yes, the euro fell against the dollar. In June 2004 Iran announced it would build an oil bourse to rival London and New York, and again, the euro rose. The euro stands at $1.27 and has been climbing of late. See the European Central Bank history of the euro/dollar: www.ecb.int/stats/exchange/eurofxref/html/eurofxref-graph-usd.en.html#1999 But matters this month became far, far worse for the US dollar. On 5th May Iran registered its own Oil Bourse, the IOB. Not only are they now selling oil in euros from abroad -- they have established an actual Oil Bourse, a global trading centre for all countries to buy and sell their oil! In Chavez's recent visit to London he talked openly about supporting the Iranian Oil Bourse, and selling oil in euros. When asked in London about the new arms embargo imposed by the US against Venezuela, Chavez prophetically dismissed the US as "a paper tiger". Currently, almost all the world's oil is sold on either the NYMEX, New York Mercantile Exchange, or the IPE, London's International Petroleum Exchange. Both are owned by US citizens and both sell and buy only in US dollars. The success of the Iran Oil Bourse makes sense to Europe, which buys 70% of Iran's oil. It makes sense for Russia, which sells 66% of its oil to Europe. But worse for the US, China and India have already stated they are very interested in the new Iranian Oil Bourse. If there is a tactical-nuclear strike on - deja-vu - `weapons of mass destruction' in Iran, who would bet against a certain Oil Exchange and more, being bombed too? And worse for Bush. It makes sense for Europe, China, India and Japan -- as well as all the other countries mentioned above -- to buy and sell oil in Euro's. They will certainly have to stock-up on euros now, and they will sell dollars to do so. The euro is far more stable than the debt-ridden dollar. The IMF has recently highlighted US economic difficulties and the trade deficit strangling the US -- there is no way out. The problem for so many countries now is, how to get rid of their vaults full of dollars, before it crashes? And the US has bullied so many countries for so many decades around the world, that many will see a chance to kick the bully back. The US cannot accept even 5% of the world's dollars -- it would crash the US economy dragging much of the world with it, especially Britain. To survive, as the Scottish Socialist Voice article stated, "the US, needs to generate a trade surplus to get out of this one. Problem is it can't." This is spot on. To do that they must force US workers into near slavery, to get paid less than Chinese or Indian workers. We all know that this will not happen. What will happen in the US? Chaos for sure. Maybe a workers revolution, but looking at the situation as it is now, it is more likely to be a re-run of Germany post-1929, and some form of extreme-right mass movement will emerge. Does Europe and China/Asia have the economic independence and strength to stop the whole world's economies collapsing with the US? Their vaults are full to the brim with dollars. The US has to find a way to pay for its dollar-imperialist exploitation of the world since 1945. Somehow, eventually, it has to account for every dollar in every vault in the world. Bombing Iran could backfire tremendously. It would bring Iran openly into the war in Iraq, behind the Shiite majority. The US cannot cope even now with the much smaller Iraqi insurgency. Perhaps the US will feed into the Sunni v Shiite conflict and turn it into a wider Middle-East civil-war. However, this is so dangerous for global oil supplies. Further, they know that this would be temporary, as some country somewhere else, will establish a euro-oil-exchange. Perhaps in Brussels. There is one `solution' -- scrap the dollar and print a whole new currency for the US. This will destroy 66% of the rest of the world's savings/reserves in one swoop. Imagine the implications? Such are the desperate things now swimming around heads in the White House, Wall Street and Pentagon. Another is to do as Germany did, just before invading Poland in 1938. The Nazis filmed a mock Polish Army attack on Germany, to win hearts and minds at home. But again, this is a finger in the dam. So, how is the US going to escape this time? The only global arena of total superiority left is military. Who knows what horrors lie ahead. A new world war is one tool by which the US could discipline its `allies' into keeping the dollar in their vaults. The task of socialists today is to explain to as many as possible, especially our class, that the coming crisis belongs purely to capitalism and (dollar) imperialism. Not people of other cultures, not Islam, not the axis of evil or their so-called WMDs. Their system alone is to blame. The new Iranian Oil Bourse, the IOB, is situated in a new building on the free-trade-zone island of Kish, in the Persian Gulf. It's computers and software are all set to go. The IOB was supposed to be up and running last March, but many pressures forced a postponement. Where the pressure came from is obvious. It was internationally registered on 5th May and supposed to open mid-May, but its opening was put off, some saying the oil-mafia was involved, along with much international pressure. Just google `pertroeuro', and the story lies before you. From now on, anyone in the know will wake up every morning and, even before coffee, will check out the latest exchange rate between the euro and dollar.

Maxed Out (Film)DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT: In the days after 9/11, I remember turning on the television and seeing politician after politician deliver the same message: keep spending! George Bush wanted us to go to Disneyworld. Tom Daschle wanted us to buy that new suit we'd been thinking about. I thought back to my fifth-grade history book. Didn't it teach that when we're at war, we sacrifice, not spend? The economics of our culture have clearly changed and I wanted to find out how and why. I have been reading The Wall Street Journal since junior high school and was a Benjamin Franklin Scholar at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School, the oldest business school in America. So making a film about money wasn't a stretch. But I soon realized that I had no idea how the modern financial industry really works—it's predatory, Dickensian and absurd, all in one. From then on, I knew that Maxed Out would be about the way we live and the way we treat one another. It's about where we set the bar for the least fortunate among us. We're all led to believe that people get into financial trouble because they are irresponsible, but I've learned that most people are getting in trouble because the banks and credit card companies are setting their customers up to fail. Why? The more credit they give us, the more credit we need. When we inevitably fall behind, they can charge the huge late fees and the over-limit fees and the stratospheric interest rates that drive their profits. My goal was to paint the story of our debt-fueled culture in broad strokes. The more people I met, the more I realized that this is an emotional issue as well as an academic topic. So many people are being abused and manipulated by the financial industry but so few are asking "is this what we really want?" When the film is released, I'd like to challenge the assumptions about the way we live our lives and shift the debate. Do we really want to be in perpetual debt? Do we really want to have a sharecroppers' society, as Warren Buffett calls it? Citigroup billboards shouldn't be the only voice we hear in this debate. For More Info: maxedoutmovie.com

Hugo ChávezPosted by: Greg Palast on Thursday, June 29, 2006 - 08:30 therebel.org(Mod's note:Can we trade Bush for Chavez?Hell,we'll even throw in the Limo . Please forgive the post's length,and bear with...Many important points are covered.)You'd think George Bush would get down on his knees and kiss Hugo Chávez's behind. Not only has Chávez delivered cheap oil to the Bronx and other poor communities in the United States. And not only did he offer to bring aid to the victims of Katrina. In my interview with the president of Venezuela on March 28, he made Bush the following astonishing offer: Chávez would drop the price of oil to $50 a barrel, "not too high, a fair price," he said-a third less than the $75 a barrel for oil recently posted on the spot market. That would bring down the price at the pump by about a buck, from $3 to $2 a gallon. But our President has basically told Chávez to take his cheaper oil and stick it up his pipeline. Before I explain why Bush has done so, let me explain why Chávez has the power to pull it off-and the method in the seeming madness of his "take-my-oil-please!" deal. Venezuela, Chávez told me, has more oil than Saudi Arabia. A nutty boast? Not by a long shot. In fact, his surprising claim comes from a most surprising source: the U.S. Department of Energy. In an internal report, the DOE estimates that Venezuela has five times the Saudis' reserves. However, most of Venezuela's mega-horde of crude is in the form of "extra-heavy" oil-liquid asphalt-which is ghastly expensive to pull up and refine. Oil has to sell above $30 a barrel to make the investment in extra-heavy oil worthwhile. A big dip in oil's price-and, after all, oil cost only $18 a barrel six years ago-would bankrupt heavy-oil investors. Hence Chávez's offer: Drop the price to $50-and keep it there. That would guarantee Venezuela's investment in heavy oil. But the ascendance of Venezuela within OPEC necessarily means the decline of the power of the House of Saud. And the Bush family wouldn't like that one bit. It comes down to "petro-dollars." When George W. ferried then-Crown Prince (now King) Abdullah of Saudi Arabia around the Crawford ranch in a golf cart it wasn't because America needs Arabian oil. The Saudis will always sell us their petroleum. What Bush needs is Saudi petro-dollars. Saudi Arabia has, over the past three decades, kindly recycled the cash sucked from the wallets of American SUV owners and sent much of the loot right back to New York to buy U.S. Treasury bills and other U.S. assets. The Gulf potentates understand that in return for lending the U.S. Treasury the cash to fund George Bush's $2 trillion rise in the nation's debt, they receive protection in return. They lend us petro-dollars, we lend them the 82nd Airborne. Chávez would put an end to all that. He'll sell us oil relatively cheaply-but intends to keep the petro-dollars in Latin America. Recently, Chávez withdrew $20 billion from the U.S. Federal Reserve and, at the same time, lent or committed a like sum to Argentina, Ecuador, and other Latin American nations. Chávez, notes The Wall Street Journal, has become a "tropical IMF." And indeed, as the Venezuelan president told me, he wants to abolish the Washington-based International Monetary Fund, with its brutal free-market diktats, and replace it with an "International Humanitarian Fund," an IHF, or more accurately, an International Hugo Fund. In addition, Chávez wants OPEC to officially recognize Venezuela as the cartel's reserve leader, which neither the Saudis nor Bush will take kindly to. Politically, Venezuela is torn in two. Chávez's "Bolivarian Revolution," a close replica of Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal-a progressive income tax, public works, social security, cheap electricity-makes him wildly popular with the poor. And most Venezuelans are poor. His critics, a four-centuries' old white elite, unused to sharing oil wealth, portray him as a Castro-hugging anti-Christ. Chávez's government, which used to brush off these critics, has turned aggressive on them. I challenged Chávez several times over charges brought against Súmate, his main opposition group. The two founders of the nongovernmental organization, which led the recall campaign against Chávez, face eight years in prison for taking money from the Bush Administration and the International Republican [Party] Institute. No nation permits foreign funding of political campaigns, but the charges (no one is in jail) seem like a heavy hammer to use on the minor infractions of these pathetic gadflies. Bush's reaction to Chávez has been a mix of hostility and provocation. Washington supported the coup attempt against Chávez in 2002, and Condoleezza Rice and Donald Rumsfeld have repeatedly denounced him. The revised National Security Strategy of the United States of America, released in March, says, "In Venezuela, a demagogue awash in oil money is undermining democracy and seeking to destabilize the region." So when the Reverend Pat Robertson, a Bush ally, told his faithful in August 2005 that Chávez has to go, it was not unreasonable to assume that he was articulating an Administration wish. "If he thinks we're trying to assassinate him," Robertson said, "I think that we really ought to go ahead and do it. It's a whole lot cheaper than starting a war ... and I don't think any oil shipments will stop." There are only two ways to defeat the rise of Chávez as the New Abdullah of the Americas. First, the unattractive option: Cut the price of oil below $30 a barrel. That would make Chávez's crude worthless. Or, option two: Kill him. Q: Your opponents are saying that you are beginning a slow-motion dicswtatorship. Is that what we are seeing? Hugo Chávez: They have been saying that for a long time. When they're short of ideas, any excuse will do as a vehicle for lies. That is totally false. I would like to invite the citizens of Great Britain and the citizens of the U.S. and the citizens of the world to come here and walk freely through the streets of Venezuela, to talk to anyone they want, to watch television, to read the papers. We are building a true democracy, with human rights for everyone, social rights, education, health care, pensions, social security, and jobs. Q: Some of your opponents are being charged with the crime of taking money from George Bush. Will you send them to jail? Chávez: It's not up to me to decide that. We have the institutions that do that. These people have admitted they have received money from the government of the United States. It's up to the prosecutors to decide what to do, but the truth is that we can't allow the U.S. to finance the destabilization of our country. What would happen if we financed somebody in the U.S. to destabilize the government of George Bush? They would go to prison, certainly. Q: How do you respond to Bush's charge that you are destabilizing the region and interfering in the elections of other Latin American countries? Chávez: Mr. Bush is an illegitimate President. In Florida, his brother Jeb deleted many black voters from the electoral registers. So this President is the result of a fraud. Not only that, he is also currently applying a dictatorship in the U.S. People can be put in jail without being charged. They tap phones without court orders. They check what books people take out of public libraries. They arrested Cindy Sheehan because of a T-shirt she was wearing demanding the return of the troops from Iraq. They abuse blacks and Latinos. And if we are going to talk about meddling in other countries, then the U.S. is the champion of meddling in other people's affairs. They invaded Guatemala, they overthrew Salvador Allende, invaded Panama and the Dominican Republic. They were involved in the coup d'état in Argentina thirty years ago. Q: Is the U.S. interfering in your elections here? Chávez: They have interfered for 200 years. They have tried to prevent us from winning the elections, they supported the coup d'état, they gave millions of dollars to the coup plotters, they supported the media, newspapers, outlaw movements, military intervention, and espionage. But here the empire is finished, and I believe that before the end of this century, it will be finished in the rest of the world. We will see the burial of the empire of the eagle. Q: You don't interfere in the elections of other nations in Latin America? Chávez: Absolutely not. I concern myself with Venezuela. However, what's going on now is that some rightwing movements are transforming me into a pawn in the domestic politics of their countries, by making statements that are groundless. About candidates like Morales [of Bolivia], for example. They said I financed the candidacy of President Lula [of Brazil], which is totally false. They said I financed the candidacy of Kirchner [of Argentina], which is totally false. In Mexico, recently, the rightwing party has used my image for its own profit. What's happened is that in Latin America there is a turn to the left. Latin Americans have gotten tired of the Washington consensus-a neoliberalism that has aggravated misery and poverty. Q: You have spent millions of dollars of your nation's oil wealth throughout Latin America. Are you really helping these other nations or are you simply buying political support for your regime? Chávez: We are brothers and sisters. That's one of the reasons for the wrath of the empire. You know that Venezuela has the biggest oil reserves in the world. And the biggest gas reserves in this hemisphere, the eighth in the world. Up until seven years ago, Venezuela was a U.S. oil colony. All of our oil was going up to the north, and the gas was being used by the U.S. and not by us. Now we are diversifying. Our oil is helping the poor. We are selling to the Dominican Republic, Haiti, Cuba, some Central American countries, Uruguay, Argentina. Q: And the Bronx? Chávez: In the Bronx it is a donation. In all the cases I just mentioned before, it is trade. However, it's not free trade, just fair commerce. We also have an international humanitarian fund as a result of oil revenues. Q: Why did George Bush turn down your help for New Orleans after the hurricane? Chávez: You should ask him, but from the very beginning of the terrible disaster of Katrina, our people in the U.S., like the president of CITGO, went to New Orleans to rescue people. We were in close contact by phone with Jesse Jackson. We hired buses. We got food and water. We tried to protect them; they are our brothers and sisters. Doesn't matter if they are African, Asian, Cuban, whatever. Q: Are you replacing the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund as "Daddy Big Bucks"? Chávez: I do wish that the IMF and the World Bank would disappear soon. Q: And it would be the Bank of Hugo? Chávez: No. The International Humanitarian Bank. We are just creating an alternative way to conduct financial exchange. It is based on cooperation. For example, we send oil to Uruguay for their refinery and they are paying us with cows. Q: Milk for oil. Chávez: That's right. Milk for oil. The Argentineans also pay us with cows. And they give us medical equipment to combat cancer. It's a transfer of technology. We also exchange oil for software technology. Uruguay is one of the biggest producers of software. We are breaking with the neoliberal model. We do not believe in free trade. We believe in fair trade and exchange, not competition but cooperation. I'm not giving away oil for free. Just using oil, first to benefit our people, to relieve poverty. For a hundred years we have been one of the largest oil-producing countries in the world but with a 60 percent poverty rate and now we are canceling the historical debt. Q: Speaking of the free market, you've demanded back taxes from U.S. oil companies. You have eliminated contracts for North American, British, and European oil companies. Are you trying to slice out the British and American oil companies from Venezuela? Chávez: No, we don't want them to go, and I don't think they want to leave the country, either. We need each other. It's simply that we have recovered our oil sovereignty. They didn't pay taxes. They didn't pay royalties. They didn't give an account of their actions to the government. They had more land than had previously been established in the contracts. They didn't comply with the agreed technology exchange. They polluted the environment and didn't pay anything towards the cleanup. They now have to comply with the law. Q: You've said that you imagine the price of oil rising to $100 dollars per barrel. Are you going to use your new oil wealth to squeeze the planet? Chávez: No, no. We have no intention of squeezing anyone. Now, we have been squeezed and very hard. Five hundred years of squeezing us and stifling us, the people of the South. I do believe that demand is increasing and supply is dropping and the large reservoirs are running out. But it's not our fault. In the future, there must be an agreement between the large consumers and the large producers. Q: What happens when the oil money runs out, what happens when the price of oil falls as it always does? Will the Bolivarian revolution of Hugo Chávez simply collapse because there's no money to pay for the big free ride? Chávez: I don't think it will collapse, in the unlikely case of oil running out today. The revolution will survive. It does not rely solely on oil for its survival. There is a national will, there is a national idea, a national project. However, we are today implementing a strategic program called the Oil Sowing Plan: using oil wealth so Venezuela can become an agricultural country, a tourist destination, an industrialized country with a diversified economy. We are investing billions of dollars in the infrastructure: power generators using thermal energy, a large railway, roads, highways, new towns, new universities, new schools, recuperating land, building tractors, and giving loans to farmers. One day we won't have any more oil, but that will be in the twenty-second century. Venezuela has oil for another 200 years. Q: But the revolution can come to an end if there's another coup and it succeeds. Do you believe Bush is still trying to overthrow your government? Chávez: He would like to, but what you want is one thing, and what you cannot really obtain is another. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Investigative reporter Greg Palast, who interviewed President Hugo Chávez for the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), is the author of “Armed Madhouse: Dispatches from the Front Lines of the Class War,” from which this is adapted.

This article gives us an interesting peek into what really goes down in the United States. Sure our systems uphold the Law, more like uphold Lawlessness. Cops on the payroll and making hits for the Mafia don't go to jail; they setup investigative murder units on the very same people they are working for and become TV stars and screenwriters.....MichelleJune 30, 2006, 6:12PM Judge Tosses 'Mafia Cops' Conviction By LARRY McSHANE Associated Press Writer © 2006 The Associated Press NEW YORK — A federal judge tossed out racketeering convictions for two former police detectives accused of moonlighting as mob hit men, saying Friday he still believed they were guilty but the statute of limitations had passed.Louis Eppolito and Steven Caracappa were found guilty nearly three months ago of participating in eight murders while on the payroll of a brutal mob underboss. In his ruling, U.S. District Judge Jack Weinstein said he agreed with a jury that Eppolito and Caracappa were guilty of murder, kidnapping and other crimes, but the law compelled him to set aside the verdict on the most serious charge. Weinstein granted the pair a new trial on drug charges and Eppolito a new trial on money laundering charges. "The evidence at trial overwhelmingly established the defendants' participation in a large number of heinous and violent crimes," he wrote. "Nevertheless ... the five-year statute of limitations mandates granting the defendants a judgment of acquittal on the key charge against them _ racketeering conspiracy." Less than a month ago, Weinstein had told the pair they would receive life in prison. Attorneys Joseph Bondy, who now represents Eppolito, and Dan Nobel, representing Caracappa, said they would return to court next week to seek bail for their clients. Robert Nardoza, a spokesman for the U.S. Attorney's Office, said prosecutors would appeal. Defense attorneys had argued that the statute of limitations had expired on the most serious allegations against the pair, who allegedly spent four years on the payroll of both the New York Police Department and Luchese crime family underboss Anthony "Gaspipe" Casso. The two earned $65,000 for one of the slayings, according to testimony. Prosecutors countered that the murders were part of an ongoing conspiracy that lasted through a 2005 drug deal with an FBI informant. But the judge found that the pair no longer had contact with associates in the Luchese crime family once they retired to Las Vegas in the '90s. Caracappa, 64, retired in 1992 after establishing the police department's unit for mob murder investigations. Eppolito, 57, whose father was a member of the Gambino crime family, was a much-praised street cop who went on to play a bit part in "GoodFellas" and launch an unsuccessful career as a screenwriter.Source: www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/ap/nation/4015875.html
