Ron Paul shocker: No more 'anchor babies'
GOP gadfly's 'anti-immigrant' ad irks supporters
Posted: January 4, 2008

Ron Paul
A controversial new anti-illegal-immigration ad by GOP presidential hopeful Ron Paul has sent his libertarian supporters into high dudgeon, but it's getting rave reviews from border-security hawks, including some Homeland Security officials.
In a surprise move, the strict constitutionalist has taken aim at the 14th Amendment as part of a proposal to control growing illegal immigration. U.S. Rep. Paul, R-Texas, proposes repealing the provision that gives automatic citizenship to children born in the U.S., even if their parents enter the country illegally.
"Ron Paul wants border security now," his new campaign ad asserts. "Physically secure the border. No amnesty. No welfare to illegal aliens. End birthright citizenship. No more student visas from terrorist nations."
The 30-second TV spot was released last week and is now running in New Hampshire.
"This advertisement makes it clear that, as president, Dr. Paul would oppose amnesty, secure the border, end birthright citizenship, end welfare to illegal aliens, and restore the rule of law," said campaign chairman Kent Snyder from Paul's headquarters in Arlington, Va.
However, many of Paul's supporters – who have donated more than $20 million to his campaign over the past three months alone – are not pleased with the ad. And some have expressed shock at his sudden tough stance against immigration.
Justin Raimondo, editor of AntiWar.com, a blog Paul regularly contributes to, called the ad "disgraceful."
"Rarely has a more ignorant proposal been advanced," he said. "And it is made even worse by the fact that this is Ron Paul we're talking about."
He and other angry fans accused Paul of pandering to the conservative base of the GOP, specifically border-security voters who backed presidential candidate Tom Tancredo before he recently dropped out of the race.
"'No more student visas from terrorist nations' stands against his rhetoric of 'lets talk to people, trade with them, etc.,' as opposed to 'bomb them and interfere with them,'" writes a blogger called "Ali" on Reason.com's blog. "But I think he's trying to appeal to a certain segment of the Republican base. I do not like it though. Otherwise, it is a good ad that has a Tancredo feel to it – despite the fact that I despise Tancredo."
(Story continues below)
Others agree with Paul's proposals, including Homeland Security officials, who say the U.S. policy of birthright citizenship is a major incentive for illegal immigration.
So-called anchor babies are automatically conferred American citizenship, and are entitled to government welfare benefits regardless of the legal status of their parents – even if a parent is a foreign terrorist. Parents, in turn, can also obtain citizenship for themselves by using the family reunification features of immigration law.
Officials complain that illegal immigrants from Mexico cross the border to use U.S. emergency rooms as "maternity wards," and their babies are delivered as "public charges."
"On the U.S. southern border, aliens drive around U.S. hospitals until their water breaks, and then they drive up to the emergency room door for admission and 'free' maternity care," said one official who works for U.S. Customs and Border Protection in Texas.
A senior DHS official in Washington says birthright citizenship is a vestige of the 1800s and has outlived its original charter and purpose of assimilating former slaves into U.S. society after Emancipation.
"A major pet peeve of mine is the bastardization of the 14th Amendment, the principle of Jus Solis, an act to accommodate slaves," he said. "We now permit anyone having a child born in the United States or under the rules of international boundaries to attain United States citizenship under this principle. It is wrong."
According to the Washington-based Center for Immigration Studies, more than 570,000 U.S.-born children under the age of 18 have at least one parent born in the Middle East. That number is expected to grow to 950,000 by 2010.
Homeland Security officials also praised Paul for proposing to deny student visas for Muslims from terror-risk countries.
They say college campuses have become hotbeds of radicalization for terror groups, and a number of terrorists and terrorist suspects – including three of the 9/11 hijackers – have entered the U.S. on student visas.
DHS has identified 35 countries of interest for targeting potential terrorist activities, including 34 from predominantly Muslim countries. Here is the internal list, a copy of which was obtained by WND:

Violent Crime Threatens Baja California, Mexico Tourism
By Nancy Conroy
A spate of recent reports in the US press about carjackings, highway robberies and violent crime in Baja California, Mexico is threatening to destroy tourism. Over Thanksgiving weekend, few visitors arrived in Baja California and major tourist destinations were empty. Negative reports about Baja California crime are all over the Internet, with most people saying that they are sick of everything about Mexico and will never travel there again.
Tourism officials are currently conducting emergency meetings, and they are expected to make a public announcement within a week. But it is simple to predict what the officials are going to say. They will claim that the crime wave was a brief aberration, measures have been taken, and the problem has now been solved.
Believe that story at your peril.
Although the current crime wave has only now been reported by the US press, actually these violent attacks on tourists have been occurring at least since last summer. The reports currently coming out in San Diego are not necessarily new incidents. Some of them happened last August or September, when the last wave of carjackings hit the Baja California toll roads. The problem settled down in September and October, and then started up again with a vengeance in November.
There was also a rash of attacks and carjackings in August of 2006, but that one was covered up more effectively and most people have forgotten about it. But, “Baja 1000” car racers have not forgotten the murder of Duane Curtis on a lonely beach last year during the 2006 race. That memory is probably what prompted them to arrive late at the race this year, leave early, and report all crimes to the US press.
Again, these incidents are nothing new, but the tourists and sportsmen are fed up with them and finally going public.
Covering up incidents of crime against American tourists has long been a basic goal for Baja California officials and real estate leaders. When a Baja California tourism e-newsletter recently reprinted one of the crime articles, real estate and tourism officials sent emails to the webmaster arguing that circulating such information was an act of “negativity.” The Gringo Gazette North, an English language newspaper in Baja California, first reported the carjacking problems last September and received aggressive criticism for doing so. Leaders and officials prefer to deny reports, ignore the truth, and lean on the local media to kill the story. They do nothing about the problem until the US press starts to report it.
Now the officials are in full PR and damage control mode. They will trot out an old script that they have read to the US press before, saying that there will now be a safe, “no-shakedown” corridor in the tourist zone. That story is an old yarn that sounds good in press announcements, but has never actually been implemented. They will also say that the crime wave was a temporary phenomenon associated with the change in government administration, a claim that is disproved by the actual dates of the crimes. They will then dramatically unveil new anti-crime initiatives, measures that have been tried before and have never worked in the past. The idea is to convince the American newspapers to report that safety programs are in place, the problem is solved, and Baja California is now safe for tourists.
The Baja California officials genuinely would like to believe their own claims, but in reality crime is out of their control. The carjackings are not being committed by ordinary criminals, the perpetrators are armed commando squads affiliated with drug cartels. Local, state and federal authorities do not have adequate resources to fight the “Men in Black.” The only action that has ever successfully decreased Baja California crime is federal intervention by the Mexican military, and a tourism protection initiative proposed by business leaders is not going to solve the problem.
In the past, drug crime in Baja California did not affect tourists or the American community as much. Previously, the shootings and kidnappings seemed to be directed at police or drug dealers, and Americans were largely unaffected.
Now however, the new carjacking methodology does specifically target Americans, especially naive tourists. An unmarked vehicle, usually a pick up or SUV, flashes police lights and sirens at a car with California plates driving on the toll road. Believing that the car is a police cruiser, the American pulls over to the side of the road and is attacked by armed commandos. Anyone with a sharp eye can learn to identify these vehicles with the lights and sirens, and will soon realize that many of these cars roam the streets, sometimes in caravans. This is a new phenomenon that has emerged over the last year, one that represents a serious threat to American tourists as well as Mexico’s important tourism industry.

Plot To Assassinate
Vice President Gore?
7-15-99
Two or more airplanes were all headed reportedly for a crash with Air Force Two carrying Vice President Albert Gore, Jr., as his plane flew over the Chicago area. The incident apparently occurred July 9, 1999, but was kept embargoed, that is, delayed or suppressed, until an eleven paragraph story ran in the Chicago Sun-Times, July 14, 1999. So far, others in the mass media have steered clear of the story? Why?
Like the murder of President Kennedy, were the mass media either informed in advance or ordered how, if at all, to run the story?
One of two major newspapers in Chicago, the Sun-Times is owned by British tough-nose financier Conrad Black jointly with reportedly mysterious Red Chinese and ethnic Chinese billionaires who have an unpublicized armlock on the Chicago markets. Their fortunes based reportedly on dope smuggling into the U.S. primarily through Chicago, of high purity heroin called "China White", clandestine weapons deals, and the harvesting of human body parts sold to U.S. hospitals. The body parts, sold as casually as auto pieces, are from political prisoners in mainland China arbitrarily condemned to death as the orders come in for hearts, livers, kidneys, and such. [So as not to damage the human body parts, the political prisoners are not shot but rather, beheaded.]
The illicit funds are a massive river of loot reportedly laundered on the Chicago Board of Trade, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, and the Chicago Board Options Exchange. Although an open secret, major newspapers, such as the Sun-Times, and other financial papers like the Wall Street Journal, publish virtually nothing about the Chinese and the Chicago money laundries. The Chinese funds are disguised as soybeans and foreign currency trading. Are the Chinese through the Sun-Times story blackmailing Clinton into silence about nuclear secrets sold or given to the Chinese?
Under a headline "Quirk of radar jars VP's plane", the Sun-Times had details such as "Gore was in the government 747 traveling from Seattle back to Washington when the pilot received urgent instructions from air traffic controllers to make a jarring 60 degree turn to avoid a crash. Radar showed a second plane 25 miles away--only a couple of minutes apart--at the same 33,000-foot altitude and in conflict with the vice president's aircraft. Air Force Two was traveling about 600 m.p.h."
According to other sources, the FAA and the Sun-Times are reportedly concealing that yet a third plane likewise almost crashed into Gore's plane.
Aviation sources familiar with air traffic control say they never heard of a situation where two or more airplanes were all headed for a crash with another plane. Foul play, they contend, should rightfully be suspected when two OR MORE airplanes were all somehow steered into a possible crash with the Vice President's plane.
Here are some other factors that assassination researchers would consider:
1. Reportedly fronting for the Chinese in Chicago in the reputed clandestine deals as well as blackmail and extortion, is Rahm Emanuel, for many years Clinton White House Senior Advisor and now a heavy-hitter with Wasserstein & Perrella, Chicago unit of a New York based financial services firm that reportedly handles deals for the Red Chinese. Described as a campaign fund "fixer" and expert in blackmail, Rahm Emanuel in recent statements seems cold to the idea of supporting Gore as Presidential candidate in the 2000 election. {By the way, with more expected dirty tricks like the apparent air crash scenario, there is no guarantee that the 2000 election will be conducted just as usual.]
2. TheGore presidential campaign has, or is about to obtain, a reputed picture clearly showing presidential hopeful George W. Bush, now Texas governor and son of the elder Bush, snorting cocaine with Bill Clinton. More and more people, of course, are becoming aware that Bill has been a cocaine user whose nose is rodded out from the same. But it might come as a campaign surprise, helpful to Gore, to show George W. with Clinton. The picture, supplied by government agents, would open the whole question of George Herbert Walker Bush and his sons, Jeb, Neal, and George W., being involved with Clinton and others in dope smuggling through the southern states including through the Mena, Arkansas airport arranged by CIA. According to European publications, Jeb Bush, with his Columbia-born wife, are reportedly implicated with known criminals in Spain and elsewhere laundering dope and other clandestine funds through European banks. Neal Bush narrowly escaped jail in the downfall of his Silverado Savings & Loan Association of Denver, reportedly used by CIA to wash domestic assassination funding. A Chicago lawyer, Jay Steinberg, and others with Hopkins & Sutter, Chicago, reportedly whitewashed the Silverado mess.
3. Gore campaign pundits apparently have advised Gore to distance himself from Clinton who, generally unknown to the public, has been very close to the elder Bush. Gore can probably rightfully claim he was, prior to "the picture", unaware of Clinton's dope connection to the younger Bush. Some believe Gore, to have any chance of winning the presidential election, would have to demonstrate that he is not interwoven in the numerous Clinton scandals, financial and sexual. At a post-election party in the past, Bill Clinton reportedly got Tipper Gore, Albert's wife, drunk, and raped her, that is, had some form of sex with Tipper NOT consensual. A member of the Gore circle, when confronted with these details, urged an independent-minded journalist not to go with the story but said it most likely did happen. Bill Clinton, according to his secret medical records, penetrated by savvy hackers, is reportedly HIV positive. Thus, if the records were revealed, numerous women messed over by Bill, would have to come forward to be examined for AIDS. Two newspapers have the documents, reportedly the Baltimore Sun and the Chicago Tribune, but whose lawyers have advised against publishing the same, as the newspapers might be drawn into liability of Federal Tort Claims actions brought by the women.
So, there are numerous reasons for the possible political assassination of Gore. Although a horrible matter to consider, it must candidly be discussed. Long ago it was said, "To kill the king, you need the aid of the Palace guards". Prior to the 1996 re-election, the Secret Service reportedly all disappeared from guarding Gore at a political rally. In assassination research jargon, this is a "security vacuum", making it easy for a would-be assassin, aided by the Secret Service, to blow away a high official. Remember, the head of what is now called the U.S. Secret Service, Lafayette C. Baker was part of the plot to murder President Lincoln. {See: "Lincoln Conspiracy" a compilation in paperback.] The Secret Service failed to fire back a single shot in protecting John F. Kennedy in Dealey Plaza. Questions:
Did the Secret Service, as required, have one of their top people supervising the radar when Gore's plane flew into the zone of the Air Traffic Control in Aurora, the FAA facility just west of Chicago? [Some say the answer is no.] Or, at that moment, was there an Air Traffic Controller on duty with, as required, topmost security clearance? [Again, some say the answer is no.] This is a developing story. More details as they are available.

The Establishment's
Voting Machines
By Ted Lang
1-4-8
While researching my last effort, and knowing that The Establishment now intends to pull out all stops in its final efforts to disenfranchise the American people from its government as well as to nullify our nation's sovereignty, I came upon Dan Rather's efforts exposing the fiasco of America's electronic voting machines. The Establishment is making itself known and is following the pattern described by Adolf Hitler in Germany back in 1926. The enemy is finally boldly stepping from the shadows and identifying itself, just as Hitler predicted would be the case. New World Order communism is now upon US!
All across the nation today, police departments at all levels are digging in with an "us versus them" bunker mentality, killing innocent Americans, threatening families that are merely traveling through their jurisdictions while either visiting family or friends or while on vacation. Police are tasering, torturing, manhandling law-abiding innocent Americans, and in some cases killing citizens for the mere crime of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. And our national criminal government, comprised of the organized gangsters of our political class, is the instigator and provocateur of this police paranoia. Paraphrasing Hitler, terrorism must be fought with terrorism. Cheney and Bush are forcibly ushering in NWO communism via domestic police state fascism.
America and its citizens are on notice by machine-gun-toting and razor wire-deploying cops that they are not to demonstrate, not to gather near political convention centers, not to protest, and not to challenge or shout at presidential candidates during the latter's speeches and "public meetings." The Establishment cannot tolerate any such unpatriotic behavior. Violators now know they will be shot, beaten or tasered. Never during my younger years could anyone ever have convinced me of this scenario now in place in America today and occurring in my lifetime.
As offered in my previous report, Dan Rather, in a video produced by HDTV/HDNet entitled, "The Trouble With Touch Screens," and produced in August 2007, reveals a shabby, incompetent, amateur, international "manufacturing" operation in which electronic voting machines are produced in a sweatshop in Manila, Philippines, for use by American voters. It shows the reverence the United States Congress has for the American voter and taxpayer. And considering the growing popularity of grassroots anti-Establishment candidate Ron Paul, there is no doubt in this writer's mind that absolutely nothing will be done about this on the federal level.
The unified connected effort by the federal government to negate the collective will of the American people will have to translate to controllable and tamper-prone electronic voting machines to ensure the success of the power elite's picks; and as Internet-informed news readers know, "differences" between Democrats and Republicans are only for purposes of distracting a dumbed-down American voter.
Rather's exposé was launched by the Florida campaign of one Christine Jennings, a Democrat running for the House of Representatives in the District 13 election of November, 2006. Jennings was frustrated in her bid running for Congress, and she and her campaign staff pointed out a vote count anomaly: approximately 13 percent of the registered voters weren't represented, or roughly 18,000 votes were unaccounted for. There could be many explanations for this unusually poor voter turnout, nonetheless of which could be attributable to either bad weather or even the reality of voter apathy or outright rejection of Jennings' candidacy. But neither possible cause is of any relevance.
What is relevant is that whether or not an inquiry was actually justified, one did result. Jennings lost by only a few hundred votes, and this while missing votes of approximately 18,000. Jennings sued the state of Florida, the manufacturer of the electronic voting machines, and filed an election challenge with the House of Representatives. The matter came up in Congress in the Senate, and California Senator Dianne Feinstein conducted a hearing and charged the Government Accountability Office [GAO] and the National Institute of Standards and Technology [NIST] to look into the matter.
The GAO, in earlier investigations in response to electoral curiosities involving those related to the "hanging chad" fiasco in Florida during the 2000 presidential elections, as well as the Ohio curiosity relative to the 2004 along with the publicized guarantee offered by a Diebold voting machine manufacturing executive to incumbent George Bush that Ohio will wind up in his column, produced a short laundry list of actual electronic voting machine vulnerabilities. Additionally, the GAO confirmed, relative to the Ohio anomaly in 2004, that a small group of individuals could indeed tamper with the electronic balloting results to manipulate the outcome of an election. Democratic Congressman John Conyers, Jr. of Michigan, Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, initiated hearings looking into Ohio electronic voting irregularities in December 2004. Checking Congressman Conyers" homepage, mention of both the inquiry and the results are strangely missing.
In spite of the findings of the GAO, the Conyers "investigation" launched by literally thousands of letters from concerned and outraged Democratic voters, the outcome and bottom line results are zip: nothing, nichts, nada! In typical Establishment MSM propaganda-for-the-herd mentality, elapsed time and the out-of-sight-out-of mind big media approach has been brought into play once again. Our "elected representatives" and the MSM, stooges for the shadow government's Establishment, drown out both representative responsibility and accountability to the American people and American voters. We are now a disenfranchised citizenry, enslaved by a totally unrepresentative political class of paid-off stooges, and controlled by the big money of corporate conglomerate monopolies and their lobbies.
The Jennings inquiry brought Dan Rather into the picture. His media vehicle, "Dan Rather Reports" produced by HDNet, uncovered the corporate arrangement that sends the clear and unmistakable message that our entire election system and its electronic and vote counting methods and systems are a total fraud. The company Jennings sued was ES&S, Election Systems and Software, headquartered in Omaha, Nebraska. The machines used to count the votes in the Florida elections during which Christine Jennings ran for Congress, are, once again, strongly suspect as triggered by the missing 18,000 votes. The electronic voting machine used was a product of ES&S, identified as an "Votronic." More information on this equipment can be found here.
The iVotronic has been used to count votes electronically in 22 states in the US, and ES&S, a privately held corporation, claims to be the largest manufacturer of voting machines inAmerica. The company offers that it has delivered 97,000 machines across the country which were used to count 67 million votes in the November 2006 elections.
After the Jennings campaign and the ensuing election complaint and lawsuit, Rather's inquiry cited numerous complaints from voters using the iVotronic. For example, several voters complained on the video that after having digitally marked their ballots on the electronic touch-screen, the vote summarization display, when brought up by the voter, showed no vote at all! Other problems determined by the vote verification screen display showed that the opposing candidate or a third party was selected by the voter. These problems, and many more, served as the material basis for Jennings' complaint and challenge.
Rather's investigation into the matter exposed the disjointed, discombobulated global corporate cluster that produces these inferior vote counting machines so vital to the MSM's contention of the importance of the participation by the American voter in this country's democratic processes. Even Rather's introductory remarks to the report emphasized the importance of voting to ensure "democracy." Yet, the big media has left the Conyers inquiry open-ended and has summarily ignored the iVotronic controversy completely. This MSM collective spike of the serious anomaly in the American voting system has been totally ignored by the big media's gatekeeper, The New York Times, and therefore TV broadcast and cable [cabal?] "news" as well. This includes NBC's White House Chief David Gregory and NBC anchor Brian Williams.
It may be recalled that "journalist" Brian Williams whined that he had "worked extremely hard" to achieve his senior exalted status as NBC's top "reporter." He offered this complaint: "You're going to be up against people who have an opinion, a modem, and a bathrobe. All of my life, developing credentials to cover my field of work, and now I'm up against a guy named Vinny in an efficiency apartment in the Bronx who hasn't left the efficiency apartment in two years."
NBC "journalist" David Gregory, the so-called White Chief Correspondent, offered that news interviews at the White House, and in fact all politically-related interviews, are seen through a prism by the news consumer. He offers that it is the public that is biased and polarized, and this has been caused by the evil Internet. Yet Rush Limbaugh has always offered that the "liberal" media reports news through a politically biased "template." And of course, they are both wrong. The failure to report on this critical electronic voting issue proves the error in both views, and presents precisely how The Establishment uses MSM personalities to deliberately distract the public using the worse-than-usless fraud of two opposing political parties.
Returning to the issue of inferior electronic voting machines forced upon the American voter by The Establishment, Election Systems and Software Corporation, the primary manufacturer and supplier of these poorly working and extremely inaccurate voting machines, contracted for the manufacture of these base electronic recording units, which I will refer to henceforth as the BRU, with a company called Pivot International, headquartered in Alexa, Kansas. Pivot, headed by Edwin Ching, owns the majority interest in a Manila, Philippines factory, TeleTech, a high pressure sweat shop that was contracted by ES&S to produce the BRUs.
The Ching family, noted for questionable business ethics relating to business practices, tax evasion, real estate manipulations, and other shady deals, has consistently been investigated by the government of the Philippines. No convictions against their operations resultant from criminal prosecutions has thus far been recorded. But as Rather offered, the Ching family, bolstered by political connections, has prospered enormously while their workers at the Manila factory suffered under sweatshop conditions and were paid coolie wages.
In spite of the reliance upon seemingly disinterested foreign factory workers, Filipinos bucked their own culture and reported and complained of the inferior components of mylar plastic touch-screens produced in the USA by The Bergquist Company. Bergquist produced the plastic screens to be used by the Pivot-produced BRUs which they sent to the ManilaPivot corporation for the manufacture and incorporation into the final BRU product. Manila factory workers complained of quality control failures involving the touch-screens. The problem was that the plastic touch-screens "floated;" that is, they were visibly disconnected from the glass containing the electronic sensors such that "bubbles" and air-filled rolls and waves seperated the screen from the sensors by a margin causing a quarter inch calibration distortion that could actually translate to the success of a candidate with lesser votes.
This was the assessment of Gene Hinspeter, an Elections Operations Specialist employed by Lee County, Florida. Hinspeter stated that 1,800 of the iVotronic units were returned to ES&S due to confirmed inaccuracies in the BRU tabulations. Hinspeter stated in the Dan Rather interview that the iVotronic machines were totally unreliable.
Additionally, a lawsuit initiated by Hartford Insurance Co. against Bergquist, contesting the indemnified revenue loss claims by Bergquist due to the lost revenue from the inferior quality of the touch-screens they supplied to Pivot, would have created devastatingly bad press for the company. And since America has a very bad press to begin with, this vital information needed by the American voting public, was once again spiked and suppressed by the MSM and its gatekeeper, The New York Times.
The irony in all this is that these electronic touch-screen voting machines were to replace the inaccurate and "obsolete" paper ballot machines made famous during the vote counts in Florida in the 2000 presidential election. But Rather's investigation exposed the fact that exceedingly poor quality paper ballot card stock was used by Sequoia Voting Systems of Exeter, California. In order to reduce costs, or so it would seem, the management of Sequoia ignored warnings and official chain-of-command quality control safeguards that were attempted by employees and used inferior paper in spite of vehement employee objections. Sequoia management knowingly used inferior paper that quality control at their factory proved well before the fact would not punch cleanly thereby creating major problems. And these revelations were made to Sequoia management in the late 1990s and long before the 2000 election.
The paper ballot system was exrtremely accurate it failed because inferior quality tab card paper was substituted. And to remedy the problem, the paper ballot machines were replaced by the electronic BRUs and their touch-screen systems manufactured by ES&S. And now that the ES&S electronic voting systems have been proven to be unbelievably unreliable, these too are being replaced by yet better machines. The better machines? Optical electronic scanners will now replace the touch-screen technology. The manufacturer? You guessed it: Election Systems & Software Corporation!
In an article by the Associated Press published Monday, December 31st, and entitled "Vote machine flaws force scramble," the report opens: "With the presidential race in full swing, some U.S. states have found critical flaws in the accuracy and security of their electronic voting machines, forcing officials to scramble to return to the paper ballots they abandoned after the 2000 Florida debacle." But the AP totally ignores the fact that "officials" have had more than seven years to both look into the problem and to determine its root cause: the use of inferior tab paper.
The article goes on: "In December alone, top election officials in Ohio and Colorado declared that widely used voting equipment is unfit for elections. 'Every system that is out there, one state or another has found that they are no good,' said John Gideon of the advocacy group Voters Unite. 'Everybody is starting to look at this now and starting to realize that there is something wrong.'"
I had warned readers of this coming "surprise" as far back as August 2007, at about the time Dan Rather broadcast his exposé. Isn't it amazing that "everybody is starting to look at this now?" And just look at what the AP offers at this time: "Florida's unclearly marked ballots in the disputed 2000 race between Al Gore and George W. Bush exposed the imperfection of paper ballot counting and helped lead to a $3 billion government initiative to bring voting to the digital age. The Help America Vote Act of 2002 required that states have electronic equipment in place by 2008." But the real problem was only in the inferior paper used, not the machine or the system.
This is what happens when a cause and effect analysis is not undertaken to get to the real root cause of a problem; not only does it not get solved, but government mandates by bubbleheaded government buffoons makes the problem worse while needlessly squandering our tax dollars to boot! Yet further, "researchers in Ohio and Colorado found that electronic voting systems could be corrupted with magnets or with Treos and other similar handheld devices. In Colorado, two kinds of Sequoia Voting Systems electronic voting machines used in Denver and three other counties were decertified because of security weaknesses, including lack of password protection. Equipment made by Election Systems and Software had programming errors. And optical scanning machines, made by Hart InterCivic, had an error rate of one out of every 100 votes during tests by the state." But the error factor due to Bergquist-manufactured screens was at 50 percent or more!
It is clear that no one and no agency in American government gives a damn about the accuracy of voting in America. The Establishment's propaganda arm, the MSM, gives only lip service to the importance of voting. It is only important to them in terms of the huge revenues and advertising profits they accumulate from the American election farce and vote fraud. These problems have existed for more than seven years, yet only now the MSM and The Establishment shills in government are looking into the matter. These revelations are not news; they are the MSM's prepatory conditioning for the American voter to get ready for yet another round of shaky voting results. So don't be too surprised if Ron Paul only gets three votes in the upcoming GOP primaries!

Church Of The Profane -
How University Betrays Students
By Henry Makow PhD
1-4-8
I'd only send my son to university if he had no talent.
He is going anyway, for the social life and the certificate. I warn him that after studying the humanities and social sciences he'll be unable to think independently or absorb information that doesn't fit his programming.
The modern university is not devoted to truth, quite the opposite. Repressive fe-manism is rampant on campus but this is just a symptom of a much more profound problem.
Modern Western "culture" is based on the fraudulent assumptions of the "Enlightenment," an intellectual movement dating from the Eighteenth Century. This in turn was the product of the Illuminist program to create a new(secular) world order by denying the existence of God and immutable natural and spiritual laws.
In practice this means Arts students study a bunch of atheists who are presented as if they were Gods. Their professors act as high priests.
Like deaf men tuning a piano, they try to explain the human condition without any reference to the Creator, Design or man's Divine Spirit.
They portray mankind as a forlorn animal in an amoral mechanical universe, characterized by a merciless struggle for survival.
They celebrate human "freedom" by which they mean the freedom to reject God's Order, indulge animal appetites, and create an alienated and dysfunctional personal reality.
Illuminism is the Luciferian doctrine of Freemasonry. (Communism is another product of Illuminism. All leading Communists were Freemasons.) The mortar board that university graduates wear is a symbol of Freemasonry. Black gowns symbolize the occult. Arts students are unwittingly being inducted into a Luciferian/Communist cult.
God represents moral and spiritual absolutes like love, truth, goodness, harmony and justice. Belief in their reality is essential for our healthy development. While our culture pays lip service to them (this is how fraud works), it is frankly devoted to their erasure.
DYSFUNCTION BY DESIGN
Modern education and culture is designed to make us dysfunctional. "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion" confirms this. The Protocols is not an anti Semitic diatribe. (They say that because they don't want you to read it.) It is the blueprint of the New World Order
Someone like Baron Lionel Rothschild wrote it between 1875-1895 for a Masonic Secret Society, the Illuminati. The Illuminati represents a continuation of the feudal alliance of Jewish bankers and European aristocrats. The Illuminati created and financed Communism, Zionism, and Nazism.
The Illuminati is bound by a devotion to Lucifer, the rebellious angel who defied God and said man will define reality. He is called "the bringer of light." Now do you understand the word "Enlightenment"? The super rich want to be God and reshape reality to fit their interests. To do this, they need to sever our links with Reality, i.e. God (absolute truth, love and justice.)
Their means are unlimited, so are their ambitions. Here are some relevant statements from Protocol 16.

http://www.biblebelievers.org.au/przion1.htm#Table%20of%20Contents
"In order to effect the destruction of all collective forces except ours we shall emasculate the first stage of collectivism, the universities, by re-educating them in a new direction."
"We must introduce into their education all those principles which have so brilliantly broken up their order."
"Do not suppose for a moment that these statements are empty words: think carefully of the successes we arranged for Darwinism, Marxism, Nietzsche-ism.... it should be plain to see what a disintegrating importance these directives have had upon the minds of the goyim. " (Protocol 2)
"We shall erase from the memory of men all facts of previous centuries which are undesirable to us..."
We shall turn them into "unthinking submissive brutes waiting for things to be presented before their eyes in order to form an idea of them..."
Let me remind you of a passage from a 1930's Communist manual on brainwashing
"As every chair of psychology in the United States is occupied by persons in our connection, the consistent employment of such texts is guaranteed... Educating broadly the educated strata of the populace into the tenets of Communism is thus rendered relatively easy." (II, Ch. 11)
BOW DOWN BEFORE "GREAT MEN"
Students encounter "The Cult of Great Men" the pantheon of modern pretenders who have usurped God's place.
Their every utterance is treated as Holy Writ. Scholarly articles are devoted to words that later turn out to be typos. In a graduate seminar, I witnessed a student read a list of filthy obscenities that had been censored from William Faulkner's novel "Sanctuary." After each expletive, the other students gasped with horror as though a religious artifact had been desecrated.
Professors are the overpaid priests of this secular cult. They have a vested interest in maintaining its shibboleths. They initiate students into a lifelong mental servility. All knowledge comes from Great Men. Students can only aspire to analyze their meaning. A professor once told me I had failed because "only great men can say things like that."
The students' state-of-mind becomes passive and disoriented. He struggles to reconcile contradictory world-views.
One day I had an awakening. Don't these "great men" live in the same world? Isn't it the same one I live in?
Dare I think for myself?
Dislocation takes place in time as well as space. By continually studying the past, the student thinks nothing remains to be done. No manifestos remain to be written, no Bastilles need to be stormed.
While the world cries out for leadership, the new generation is buried in musty manuscripts writing footnotes to dead men.
EDUCATION SERVES ITS PURPOSE
As you've gathered by now, a Humanities education is not intended to uplift or empower. The world is owned and run by a secretive banking cabal and their inbred allies. Its goal, in the words of Cecil Rhodes, is to "gradually absorb the wealth of the world." Naturally it must obscure this plan. They want to make students their tools. Professors who don't play the game are fired.
The Rockefellers regard human beings as domestic animals without divine spirit. This is implied in "Occasional Paper #1" of their General Education Fund:
"In our dreams, we have limitless resources and the people yield themselves with perfect docility to our moulding hands. The present educational conventions fade from our minds, and unhampered by traditions, we work our own good will upon a grateful and responsible rural folk. We shall not try to make these people or any of their children into philosophers or men of learning, or of science. We have not to raise up from them authors, poets or men of letters. We shall not search for embryo great artists, painters, musicians, nor lawyers, doctors, preachers, politicians, statesmen of whom we have ample supply. The task we set before ourselves is very simple as well as a very beautiful one, to train these people as we find them to a perfectly ideal life just where they are." ("The Rockefeller Empire" in Josephson, /"The Strange Death of FDR"/ 1948, p. 69)
If you haven't noticed, universities are not places of invigorating inquiry and debate. They are stagnant backwaters that reek of moral compromise and disillusionment.
Mankind is groping in the dark. "All we know is the wind that blows," Thoreau wrote. Our false confidence is based on material progress and technology, which Thoreau calls "improved means to unimproved ends."
"We have turned the brainless head of the goyim with progress," says the /Protocols/( XIII). With the exception of "material inventions" progress "like a fallacious idea, implies a departure from truth in all cases."
In other words, the Illuminists have infected mankind with the illusion that they are building a humanist utopia based on reason, when in fact they are constructing a neo feudal tyranny. This is the essence of "globalism" and the principle behind world events.
CONCLUSION
God is a Spirit or state of consciousness where ideals of justice goodness truth and love are self-evident. The Illuminists' first priority is to destroy Christianity and belief in God. They have to sever humanity from its metaphysical moorings in order to substitute a false reality conducive to their rule.
Humanities education today is a placebo, a substitute for a true education. It is a pretext for indoctrination, acceptance of which qualifies you for employment.
My advise to students is to confine themselves to programs which have a practical application and are less ideological: sciences, engineering, computers, pharmacy, commerce etc.
The world will not be saved by acts of God but acts of men representing God. Our duty is to take these ideals seriously in our personal lives and bring them into the world. The cost of rejecting God is to become slaves of very bad men.

Magnetic fields can reduce swelling
Published: Jan. 4, 2008 at 2:19 PM
Print story Email to a friend Font size:CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va., Jan. 4 (UPI) -- University of Virginia researchers say the use of a localized magnetic field can reduce swelling after an inflammatory injury.
Thomas Skalak, a professor of biomedical engineering, and graduate student Cassandra Morris found that application of an acute, localized static magnetic field of moderate strength can result in significant reduction of swelling when applied immediately after tissue trauma.
The findings were published in the American Journal of Physiology.
"If an injury doesn't swell, it will heal faster -- and the person will experience less pain and better mobility," Skalak said Friday in a release.
The report suggested that magnets might be used the same way ice packs and compression are now used for sprains, bumps, and bruises but with more beneficial results.

The Iowa Magic Show -
Smoke And Mirrors!
By Bev Harris
BlackBoxVoting.org
1-4-8
"I literally laughed out loud at the magic show the Republicans are putting on.
"We will be very transparent and report in live time on our Web site."
"Well not the details, precincts will come after the totals are announced " (think about this folks: You can't GET the totals without the precinct results. They're doing it out of order)
And then:
"Oh gee the web site isn't posting any results after all"
And then:
"Hello we are the networks and with 40% in we are projecting [note subtle misuse of language]
"Huckabee won Iowa"
[Correct language would say "we are projecting that Huckabee will win Iowa -- and not a single iota of results had been PUBLICLY released.]
Next we see the only live coverage, done by CSPAN, in which McCain thumps everyone.
Instead of counting in public, they had the public leave the room before the counting and things are being sorted out of view and counted under chairs and in in corners, with no public view of the data. This was done by perfectly nice people. Problem was, they didn't provide them with anything remotely sensible for a workspace -- like, oh, say a table and some chairs.
Next, we see a cell phone situation, which then inexplicably calls him back to tell him the call did not go through. Baffled, he says "we're done. I think."
More happy gesticulating by the networks pronouncing winners with great precision.
Still, at this time, not a thing has thus far been reported in "real time."
Then a nearly filled in map appears, but without telling us the percentage of precincts reporting and with no precinct data.
It's not up to the citizens to prove fraud. What we need is a system where the votes are counted in public (they were not, in Carroll County), and where we can check the precinct results against the reported precinct results.
What we got was a magic show.

Jewish Voice For Peace Leader:
"Anyone who thinks that Israel had
anything to do with 9-11 is naïve."
By Wendy Campbell
1-5-8
The time has come for me to finally write about my experience with The Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) beginning back in 2001 shortly after the tragic events of 9-11.
I had already begun to learn the Truth about racist, apartheid Israel shortly after the Second Intifada (uprising or "shaking off" in Arabic) in September 2000 during a lunch break from my job at the time, while I was listening to the famous progressive Berkeley-based KPFA radio station. What I heard mesmerized me. When I reached the parking lot at my workplace and parked my car, I couldn't get out of the car because I felt compelled to listen to the entire interview between an Israeli, a Palestinian and an American with regards to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. What I was hearing were things the mainstream US media never really addresses nor rarely reveals to the American public: mainly the conflict as seen from the Palestinian point of view, as well as from an objective point of view (the American non-Zionist interviewer).
I also learned from this interview certain generally hidden facts such how the Israeli prime minister Yitzshak Rabin, who was really going to make some important concessions with the Palestinians in order for Israel to finally take some real steps towards justice and peace between the Israelis and Palestinians, was assassinated in 1995 by an extremist Zionist Jewish Israeli. That act completely halted any genuine peace process since then, so the assassin's motive for killing him was achieved. Obviously this man's ideology has a strong support base because ever since then, the "peace process" has never seriously been revived. The "peace process", which is completely dominated and controlled by Israel, and backed by its supporters in the US government, is really just a "stalling process", while the ethic-cleansing campaign continues unabetted. Contrary to what the Israelis claim, the Palestinians have no "partner in peace" in the Israelis, who have not stopped stealing more Palestinian land nor their collective punishment against all Palestinians via crippling roadblocks, turning off electricity and water supplies at will for long lengths of time, and basically literally starving the Palestinians in what amounts to huge open-air concentration camps. The only thing that can stop this madness is for the USA to stop all manner of support to Israel and for everyone to boycott apartheid Israel, just as apartheid South Africa was boycotted.
At any rate, much of my experience about this time can be found in my first ever political article, which is entitled "Why I Am A Pro-Palestinian Activist" and at the website for my tiny media company MarWen Media. You can find the link at: http://www.marwenmedia.com/articles_images/WhyIAmProPal.html
However until now, I have never written about my experience with the Jewish Voice for Peace, which I had discovered shortly after 9-11 from a flyer I had picked up at La Pena Cultural Center when I had attended an excellent slideshow entitled "Face of the Occupation" which was presented by Penny Rosenwasser of MECA (Middle East Children's Alliance) which is directed by Penny's partner, Barbara Lubin, an anti-Zionist of Jewish heritage. Penny is also active in the JVP. She calls herself a Zionist, but I think this is simply just because of a deep desire on her part to be close to her Jewish community, most of whom are Zionists.
Her slideshow was the inspiration for my first documentary "Truth: Exposing Israeli Apartheid". Penny Rosenwasser, a Jewish American peace and human rights activist, was very generous to me, allowing me to film her slideshow with my video camcorder and even giving me a copy of a photo she took of a Jews-only by-pass road in Israel, where Palestinians are shot and/or arrested if they are caught trying to use it. Of course there are no signs there which say "No Palestinians Allowed" because that would broadcast the fact that Israel is an apartheid country by putting it in writing, confirming the obvious. For more details on these apartheid roads in Israel including that photo, see http://www.marwenmedia.com/articles_images/ApartheidIsraelRoads.html
Her slideshow and this photo of the apartheid by-pass road for Jews-only are featured prominently in my documentary. When I premiered my documentary "Truth: Exposing Israeli Apartheid" at La Pena Cultural Center in Berkeley, California, the very place where I saw her slide show about a year earlier, I donated half of the proceeds to the Middle East Children's Alliance.
MY DISCOVERY OF THE JVP
At any rate, I discovered the Jewish Voice for Peace from that flyer at her slide show and decided to try to attend one of their meetings, since it was the only group of any sort that I knew about which was discussing Middle East politics. At that time, most Americans were simply clueless about Israel and the Middle East in general. I should know. I used to be one of them.
I showed up at the doorstep of the house in Berkeley where a meeting of the Jewish Voice for Peace was being held sometime in early November 2001 and asked the greeter at the door if I was "allowed" to attend even if I am not Jewish . The person let me in.
I found myself seated next to Prof. Joel Beinin, who teaches at Stanford University and the University of California at Berkeley. We chatted before the meeting began. He was very nice and informative. In fact, he told me he was going to give some lectures about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to a class at the UC Berkeley and when I expressed an interest in attending it as a guest, he gave me his permission. I did show up with my camcorder and filmed the entire lecture. Unfortunately, I was just getting used to my camcorder and the quality is not not great, so I did not include any of it in my documentary "Truth: Exposing Israeli Apartheid". (Note: Ultra hardcore Zionist and Islamaphobic David Horowitz has relentlessly and savagely slandered Prof. Beinin for his activism with JVP and beyond.)
Anyway, everyone was seated in the crowded room, in chairs, sofas and on the floor. Lincoln Shlensky sat on the floor in the middle of the crowded room. He was one of the original members and leaders of the Jewish Voice for Peace, which was formed in 1996, after the provocative opening by the Netanyahu government of an archaeological tunnel under Jerusalem's Temple Mount, which led directly to confrontations in which 65 Palestinians and 14 Israelis were killed. After that conflict seemed to settle down a bit during yet another sham of a "peace process", the Jewish Voice for Peace basically disbanded. However, shortly after 9-11-01, the group was resurrected again, apparently to deal some damage control. One astute observer of the Jewish political scene has made the reasonable statement that if the JVP didn't exist, then the Likuds would have invented it themselves for creating good PR for Israel, but really nothing much more than that, in that there is no positive change in the direction that Israel has embarked on since day one with regards to the human rights of the non-Jewish native Palestinians.
"ANYONE WHO THINKS ISRAEL HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH 9-11 IS NAÏVE."
Lincoln Shlensky, a pleasant Jewish man, a student at UC Berkeley and who seemed to be in his mid-30s, twisted himself left and right in order to look around the room and make eye-contact with everyone as he opened the meeting with the proclamation that "anyone who thinks that Israel has anything to do with 9-11 is naïve." (This may not be an exact quote, but I believe it is.)
Hmmm I thought to myself. Very interesting. If this was indeed the case, why are we even here? It immediately seemed to me like a bit of self-deception at best and deliberate deception at worst. It quickly became obvious to me that the Jewish Voice for Peace was really basically about doing damage control with regards to Israel's obvious role in 9-11 and they were running interference for any attempts to blame or criticize Israel in any way for the 9-11 attacks.
At that time, I believed, like many others, that 9-11 was blowback as a result from the unjust US foreign policy in the Middle East which is basically blind, unconditional support for Israel. This includes funneling billions of US tax dollars yearly in cash and in military aid to Israel, as well as providing diplomatic cover and even military cover as demanded by Israel. This is despite the fact that aggressive and war-mongering Israel, which is a racist, apartheid, Jewish supremacist state is built upon an on-going campaign of ethnic-cleansing of non-Jewish native Palestinians from their own land, homes and businesses. Israel habitually breaks International Laws and UN Resolutions, since day one of its existence in 1948 when it began the process of wiping Palestine off the map, with the consent of the ruling international political elites at the time.
It was only until about 2003 to 2004 that I came to believe that Israeli agents actually played a direct role in making 9-11 happen, as in Larry Silverstein allowing the Mossad to plant explosives in the World Trade Center buildings which brought them down on that fateful day. Not only did WTC buildings 1 and 2 implode/explode but so did building 7 which was not even hit by a jet. This is really the smoking gun. But more about that later.
I had begun to study in depth about the true nature of racist, apartheid Israel beginning with a little booklet I had picked up that night at La Pena when I went to Penny Rosenwasser's slideshow "The Face of the Occupation". This highly recommended and well-known booklet is entitled "Origin of the Palestine-Israel Conflict". It was written by Jews for Justice in the Middle East. I found it spell-binding, and it can be printed out in PDF form or just read it at http://www.cactus48.com
Anyway, back to that first JVP meeting. Although I didn't agree with Lincoln's proclamation about the innocence of Israel with regards to 9-11, I felt that I maybe I could learn more about it all and even partner up with some Jewish people who might feel the way I did on some political activist activities.
Talk about being naïve! That didn't happen, although I really gave it the good girl scout try.
At that time, JVP didn't even have a brochure! I was surprised at how they basically just sat around talking or you could say, kvetching, about how they felt. Really it was basically just a big therapy session for them, to manage their anxieties, their feelings of guilt, and worries about how this would all affect the Jewish community, the Jewish state of Israel and its relationship with its sponsor and benefactor, the United States of America.
I was ready for taking some real actions, as in printing up some postcards to hand out to educate the American public and to mail to politicians about the Israel-Palestine conflict. At that time, I was actually wanting to promote the Two-State Solution, two separate states of Israel and Palestine, because at that time I thought that was the more "realistic" solution. When I tried to enlist the help of others on the JVP's subcommittee of "Stop US Military Aid to Israel" to help me pay for some postcards to be printed up promoting the Two-State Solution (since I worked at a printing company, and would get a discounted price on printing them) I got no takers. In fact, one Jewish woman at JVP even ridiculed my efforts. So I decided to take a different tact and got some other activists and friends outside of the JVP to help me pay for the postcards calling for the Two-State Solution based on the 1967 borders. When I asked the leaders of JVP if I could reference their website on the postcard, even just to say "For more information", not claim "Endorsed by JVP", they said N-O. No way. I was perplexed and getting discouraged with them and their lack of a sense of urgency about doing anything or making a strong stand on anything besides just saying they were "against the occupation", which is akin to saying you are against rape but not sexism.
Some of the members of JVP began to make it clear that I was not really welcome to be there, especially Joel Beinin's wife Miriam, and another woman, and a couple of the men, too. So I stopped going to their meetings.
To be fair, some members of JVP were exceptionally kind, generous and open to me. And perhaps many of them are as clueless as your average American. But unlike your average American, they are committed to maintaining Israel as a Jewish supremacist state. Anyway, the time had come for me to part ways with the Jewish Voice for Peace.
I later became an advocate of the One-Democratic State solution, after realizing that the Two-State Solution is really just official apartheid, shortly before I made my documentary "Truth: Exposing Israeli Apartheid" in 2003, and I had some postcards made up advocating the One-Democratic State solution for disseminating to the public and politicians.
Later I ran into a JVP member at an event screening a documentary about the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, and I said hello to him. He was very cold to me and mentioned that he had heard that I was getting "radical", to which I said, I guess you could say that (according to some people that might seem true, but not to me) , but I am NOT violent. Then he said darkly, "You better be careful." It sounded like he said it as a threat to me rather than out of concern for my safety.
I have long since abandoned any attempts to seek approval or permission from Jewish people with regards to my activism efforts. I act only based on my beliefs in The Golden Rule, the Ten Commandments and the teachings of Jesus Christ. I don't need to managed by Jews, although some of them seem to think I do. I avoid seeing everything through a Jewish filter by avoiding as much as possible the US mainstream media. I do read it or watch it occasionally just to keep current of the latest propaganda, but I get most of my news from a wide variety of sources on the internet, sometimes even from the website of the progressive Israeli newspaper the Ha'aretz. I also count myself as fortunate to have some good Jewish friends who are also activists in seeking justice, freedom, equality, peace and security for the Palestinian people.
FIRST SEED PLANTED WITH REGARDS TO 9-11 AS THE INSIDE JOB
I first heard about 9-11 being an inside job from a flyer that was being disseminated at some anti-war rally by some activists in San Francisco on behalf of Lyndon LaRouche, a political figure who has run for president numerous times. The flyer just said something about how the US government was involved with making 9-11 happen and that the Arab terrorists were just patsies. At first I was just flabbergasted! I even called up a representative for LaRouche and questioned him about this bizarre assertion. After I finished talking with this man, I hung up, still shaking my head, still thinking it was really far-fetched. However, the seed had been planted and it started to slowly grow.
On July 2003, I attended a 9-11 Truth Fourth of July event at an artsy building where many kinds of creative and alternative events regularly occur in the Mission district of San Francisco. At that time, my belief that 9-11 was indeed an INSIDE JOB by elements in our own government had fully blossomed.
Then, as the extremely convincing evidence kept pouring in about the use of explosives to bring down the World Trade Centers which were owned by neocon Larry Silverstein who is best friends with the Israeli ex-Prime Minister Netanyahu (one of the authors of PNAC), along with the reports of the "dancing Israeli spies", the warnings made to the Israeli Mossad front company Odigo in the World Trade Center, Mossad agent Dominic Suter and his Urban Moving Systems with his van with explosives, the Fox News 4-part series on "Israeli Spying in the US" which was later spiked from its archives, the manifesto of the neocons' Project for New American Century, I have become totally convinced that along with Americans Bush, Cheney, and Israeli-Americans Wolfowitz, Perle and their neocon cohorts, that Israeli agents played a major role in "making it happen" with regards to the 9-11 attacks. The free-fall collapse of Building 7 was really the biggest smoking gun, along with Larry Silverstein's video-taped admission about it being "pulled", which can be easily found on the internet. The fact that the government and the mainstream media have refused to address any of this in any meaningful way confirms my conclusions shared by many others, that there is a cover-up of 9-11 as an inside job and the apparent Israeli connection as well.
I have reached my conclusions in a way that is very similar to the account by Ryan Dawson at this URL: http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/9-11neocon.php
Another book that really lays it on the line with all the evidence and proof is "9-11 Evil" by Victor Thorne and Lisa Guiliani available at: http://www.wingtv.net/911evil.html
There are by now lots of books and many DVDs that really make the case for 9-11 having been an INSIDE JOB, although many do not mention the Israeli connection directly or at all in some cases, mainly due out of fear of retaliation and being smeared by the common smear words used by shills for Israel towards anyone who dares to criticize the Jewish state of Israel, Zionism and its political supporters. The typical, predictable smear words include" "anti-Semite", "nazi", "hitler", "holocaust denier", "white supremacist", which certainly all completely untrue accusations with regards to myself and generally untrue with regards to anyone who is smeared as such by Israel-firsters. It's just a method the Israel-firsters use to attempt to intimidate anyone from criticizing Israel and Zionism, in an all out dirty effort to maintain the status quo with regards to US support for the Jewish supremacist state of Israel.
But more and more people are forging ahead with criticizing Israel and its racist policies anyway because their sense of moral consciousness speaks to them much more loudly than any Zionist thug ever could. For example, President Jimmy Carter and the Professors Walt and Mearsheimer have had to endure such smears even though their criticisms of Israel and its ardent supporters were rather milk toast.
In concluding this article, to come full circle, I would like to make the proclamation that anyone who doesn't think that Israel was involved with 9-11 is naïve, at best.
