Our 'Leaders' -
Whose Sick Joke?
By Henry Makow PhD
1-16-8
George W. Bush has returned to menacing Iran like a Tourette's patient prone to making embarrassing ill-timed outbursts.
He called Iran "the major sponsor of terrorism" when a mirror would reveal the true holder of that title, and the biggest mass murderer of the fledgling 21st century.
His Arab hosts rolled their eyes as he maligned their Iranian friends and trading partners. The US national debt has more than doubled on his watch; the US economy and dollar are tanking; and all he can do is plot another gratuitous war?
How did a man whom we wouldn't trust to run a convenience store end up as the "leader of the free world?" Whose sick joke is our political leadership?
A GUIDE FOR THE BEDEVILED
I won't bore you with details when all you really need is the paradigm. Our political life is a grotesque carnival designed to convince the rubes they live in a democracy. This is so they will pay taxes and lay down their lives for their betters.
Our true rulers have determined that we shall have no real say in our collective future. Like livestock, we will chew our collective cud on sex, drugs, toys and trivia, which they will supply in abundance.
This explains why the mass media (incl. movies) and education long ago ceased to deal in reality, or teach civics or history. Instead they are engines of deception and conformity.
The US election is really a job competition where a shortlist of candidates vie for the privilege of selling the public on the central bankers' agenda. Even this process is fixed, as the bankers naturally prefer the candidates who are most corrupt and dissolute and therefore most blackmail-able and obedient.
Four current Presidential contenders are on the /Judicial Watch/ list of 10 most corrupt politicians of 2007.
There hasn't been a President in the last 100 years who hasn't been controlled by the Rothschilds via the Rockefellers. The ones that resisted were poisoned (Harding); murdered (JFK) or framed (Nixon.)
The bankers use the US to force laggard nations to accept their world government tyranny. At the same time, they weaken the US so it can be merged. As citizens, our role is to be diverted like children at a summer camp and do our "patriotic" duty on cue.
Our world resembles a B-movie Horror where many of the leading citizens secretly join a satanic cult and plot at the expense of everybody else. This is why so many of our "leaders" are drunks. They have sold their souls to the devil and they know it.
SATANISM
Culture is financed and directed by money. People, like ants, go where the jam is, and adopt the most expedient ideas. Since the so-called "Enlightenment," culture has been financed by the bankers and geared to being "revolutionary" which means transferring power from the landed nobility and church to the bankers' nominees under the guise of "liberty" "equality" "fraternity."
The bankers must destroy the Christian basis of Western civilization. A true religion like Christianity or Islam holds that there is a Moral Order which we must uphold for our own wellbeing.
We are made in God's image, and must constantly measure our behavior in terms of our divine potential. God is the ultimate Reality for which we all aspire: a state where pure and absolute Truth, Goodness,Justice, Love and Beauty are self-evident.
As I understand it, the Satanist believes that man already is God, and need not hold himself to a higher moral standard. This is why the watchword of Illuminism (from the Marquis de Sade to Aleister Crowley to Charles Manson) is "Do whatever you want." There are no moral laws.
In the mass media, it is considered courageous and cool to flaunt decorum and be disgusting. These days, no bodily function escapes scrutiny and sex is an obsession. Attempts to raise humanity above the level of fruit fly are considered old fashioned and prudish.
Much of what passes for "modern" is really Satanist dysfunction: the attempt to rationalize man divorced from God or Morality. Thus we have the frenzied finger painting that passes for modern art, philosophy and literature, "Oh, the angst, the despair!"
The bankers fragment reality with neurotic solipsisms because they want to redefine reality themselves. In places where they hold sway "black is white" and "day is night." This is the Orwellian world we are entering. Money and Power---not God is Reality.
This is Satanism, where man becomes God and the banker takes the helm of Creation. It appears to originate in the Cabala which is the source of all Occult.
THE CABALA
Many central banking families are cabalistic Jews. Cabalism is pantheistic in nature. It holds that God is in all matter and nature rather than a moral force independent of nature. The logic became, "if man is at the top of the natural hierarchy, then he must be God."
In his book "Les Juifs et Le Talmud" (1913) Flavien Bernier says that Jewish teaching makes them the "God-people" rather than the "people of God:"
"The religion of the 'Deified Man' with which they were impregnated in Babylon, was only conceived as benefiting the Jew, superior and predestined being....The promise of universal domination found in the Law by the orthodox Jew was not interpreted by the Pharisees in the sense of the reign of the God of Moses over the Nations, but in the sense of a material domination which would be imposed by the Jews over the universe."
This elitist philosophy was enlarged to include anyone who will serve their Satanic agenda, Jew or not. That's why the cast includes non-Jews like Maurice Strong, Mikhail Gorbachev, Nelson Mandela, Ted Turner, Oprah Winfrey and Bill Gates.
The philosophy that man is God (Humanism) pervades our society. There is a widespread sense of entitlement and self-importance. Paradoxically, this delusion of grandeur covers for a campaign to degrade us with sex, violence and trivia.
CONCLUSION
Our leadership class is a "sick joke" because it belongs to an international satanic cult beholden to the Cabalist (i.e.Masonic) central bankers.
The mass media and education systems function to legitimize the criminals, perverts and traitors, I mean "leaders."
Our society is a fraud because our national credit is controlled by private banking families. They have assumed control of the economy, undermined civilization, and installed compromised pseudo leaders to sabotage society.
Don't doubt for a moment -- mankind has the means and the smarts to solve all its problems quickly. But that is not the destiny the money masters have in mind for you or me.
The tragic wars which have marred modern history and caused untold suffering were caused by a relatively few sick minds who hate God and humanity. Their demented centuries-old plot is entering its final stage.

Panic selling shuts £2bn fund
· Scottish Equitable acts after slump
· Fears that other funds are at risk
Patrick Collinson The Guardian, Friday January 18 2008
One of Britain's biggest property funds was forced to shut its doors to withdrawals yesterday after the slump in commercial prices triggered panic selling by small investors.
The move prompted fears of a Northern Rock-style run on billions of pounds invested in once high-flying funds which many savers have seen as a safe haven for their pensions.
Scottish Equitable said yesterday that 129,000 small investors in its £2bn property fund will not be able to access their money for up to a year, although payments relating to regular income already being paid, retirements and death claims will not be affected.
It said the fund, invested in London office blocks and shopping centres across Britain, no longer had sufficient cash reserves to meet demands from investors wanting to withdraw their money. Its "buffer fund" was down to 1% of its total assets, instead of the usual 10-15%.
Commercial property values, especially in the City of London office market, have dived amid fears of a recession brought on by the global credit crunch.
In late December another insurer, Friends Provident, halted access to its £1.2bn property fund and last night speculation was growing that Scottish Widows may be on the verge of restricting customer withdrawals on some of its funds. The insurer said last night: "We are looking at all the options, but no decisions have been taken."
Scottish Equitable's parent group, Aegon UK, is due to announce the closure of its fund today. It said last night: "Aegon UK has decided to take this step to protect investors following a significant level of customer withdrawals from the UK property fund market." It blamed "worldwide phenomena relating to concerns over the US sub-prime mortgage market fallout, rising interest rates and talk of recession".
The Financial Services Authority said it was closely monitoring the situation and had been informed by Aegon of the decision to halt withdrawals.
The crisis in Britain's commercial property market is now worse than at any time since the early 1990s, when Olympia & York, the company that began the Canary Wharf office development in London, went into administration.
The credit crunch has raised borrowing costs, making many property deals no longer attractive. Financial institutions hit by the fallout are already beginning to cut staff, reducing demand in the City office market in which most of the UK's property funds are invested. A downturn in consumer spending growth is also making retail shopping developments less attractive to investors.
Small investors have put about £15bn into property unit trusts - £5bn pouring in during 2006 and early 2007 alone. Billions more are invested through pension funds held by millions of company employees. Investors bought into promises of rich returns after a decade in which returns far outstripped gains on shares or bonds.
But the downturn in values since the middle of 2007 has been savage. Shares in British Land, the UK's leading property company, have fallen by nearly half, and most funds are showing falls of between 20% and 40%. But investors stampeding for the exit are now finding that they cannot access their cash.
The crux of the problem is that the funds are invested in buildings which can take months to sell, and therefore cannot produce the cash to pay out money to small investors if they all want it back at the same time.
Usually the funds hold a cash "buffer" of 10-15% of total assets to meet withdrawals. But Scottish Equitable said yesterday that the cash buffer in the £2bn fund had fallen to just £80m following a wave of redemptions, giving it little choice but to suspend the fund. The only alternative was a "fire sale" of its holdings which could leave investors even worse off.
It emerged yesterday that staff at some of the property managers have been informing key clients in advance that a fund is heading for suspension. The FSA said that such trading may fall foul of its rules regarding treating customers fairly.
Financial advisers continue to recommend that investors take their cash out of the funds that remain open. Jason Hemmings of Albannach Financial Management in Edinburgh said: "There are lots of rumours going about that other providers may be considering following Friends Provident and Aegon."
The Aegon/Scottish Equitable property funds are managed by Morley Fund Management, which also runs the £4bn Norwich Union Property unit trust, the UK's biggest property fund. This week Norwich Union said the fund had fallen in value by a fifth over the year, but its cash buffer was at 6.4% after selling office blocks in London and Manchester worth £165m.
Aegon UK added that it believes the "underlying fundamentals of the asset class remain healthy".

The Panic Starts
By Jim Sinclair
1-18-8
There is no doubt the Fed and the PPT [Plunge Protection Team] are meeting right now. A drop of over 300 points on the Dow after the Chairman of the Federal Reserve speaks publicly presages a 1000 point break in the Dow Jones Industrial Average coming quite quickly, if not tomorrow.
Unless the equity markets can be calmed, a panic is about to happen, making the statement "This is it" a horrible reality.
If the equity markets cannot be calmed then:
Recognize this is the Formula happening like everything else much sooner and much bigger in its implications than anticipated. Gold will rise to $1650 as an almost immediate effect of what will be done to attempt to fend off a total panic starting to take place in general equities, therein threatening to be followed by all credit markets of all kinds. The funds and hotshot short term traders in gold shares will be killed by the upward explosion of the gold price about to occur.
The PPT and the Fed will step out of gold's way because gold is one of the tools used in 1930 by Roosevelt and in 2000 by Bush. It will be used again now on the upside. Gold is the only insurance there is against what all this means because a panic in equities will blow the financial system, already coming apart, to smithereens. All country funds would shut down on any further investments in "at the wall" financial institutions. The rollover in credit and default derivatives would exceed the entire foreign debt of the USA. The rest of the $450 trillion dollar mountain of derivatives would start a disintegration like nothing you have every seen in your lifetime.
Consumer demand would slam shut. The auto industry might as well go into liquidation this coming Monday, avoiding the June 2008 rush. The US dollar would burn a hole in the floor going directly to .5200 or lower. As the dollar disintegrates gold would rocket to and through $1650 in days. The markets for general equities would all have to institute total trading halts every 100 points on the downside for 30 minutes each. All commercial call loans would be called. All debtors one day late on any payment, lacking grace period, would be liquidated. All debtors over one day of the grace period would be liquidated. It is clearly visible to anyone with eyes or a mind to think that the PPT has lost all semblance of control in the equity markets and will soon in all remaining markets. The commercial paper credit market which is almost dead will die totally. Should no emergency action take place soon, you will see an old fashioned panic of the 1929 variety. Just as emotional fools sell gold and gold shares, be assured that more emotional general equity fools will unload and bring the averages down more than ever in history in one day.
Recognize this is the Formula happening like everything else much sooner and much bigger in its implications than anticipated. Emergency action will be all splash and theatrics but truthfully the cat is out of the bag. It buys some time but corrects nothing. It makes the Formula 100% correct. There now must be EMERGENCY ACTION because the Chairman of the Fed has BOMBED OUT PUBLICLY and a PANIC is about to occur. Expect EMERGENCY ACTION in days, not weeks.
If you have not protected yourself, you may only have days to do so now.

Greenspan Reportedly
Aids & Bribes
George Bush Family
Part 3
By Sherman H. Skolnick
2-24-00
A senior U.S. Treasury Department official, in the Office of Internal Affairs, in his own-hand-writing, reportedly analyzed more than twenty five banks by which the Federal Reserve participated in facilitating the bribery and corruption of former President George Herbert Walker Bush and his three sons. The secret wire transfer records, some copies of which are attached to Part One and Part Two of this series, show billions and billions of dollars transferred to and from reported accounts of the Elder Bush and his sons. Much of this directly authorized by the secret codes of Federal Reserve dictator Alan Greenspan. Since he acts like a corrupt Soviet commissar, he is called by us ALAN REDSPAN, acting as he is answerable to no one(except the nameless, faceless ruling elite who own and operate America).
===to Neil Bush, who had been an official of the now defunct-by-fraud Silverado Savings & Loan of Denver. Through corruption linked to the American CIA and a major law firm in Chicago, Hopkins & Sutter, Neil Bush escaped being properly prosecuted on federal criminal charges of causing the downfall of this federally-insured thrift acting covertly for the espionage agency. Hopkins & Sutter in the early 1990s had been the major outside counsel of the S & L bail-out agency, Resolution Trust Corporation, like Silverado, also themselves out of existence. There is an overlap to the corruption of Bush family crony, William Rockefeller Clinton. [More on this in a later part of this series.]
===Jeb Bush (Governor of Florida) and his Colombia-born wife reportedly implicated in massive dope trafficking and money laundering Colombian cocaine through reputed Bush family accounts in Banco Exterior De Espana, Malaga, Spain. Ostensibly arranged through Bush family cocaine money laundry wizard Giogrio Pelossi. For details, visit our website: http://skolnicksreport.com
===George W. Bush (Governor of Texas) through huge amounts in the Bush family reputed accounts, in and through NCNB of Texas, Garland, Texas. See Parts One and Two of this series. And reportedly by and through reputed Bush family accounts in Banco de Occidente, Panama City, Panama and Banco de Panama, Panama City, Panama. To cover up such details, the Bush family had to have Panama strongman, Manuel Noriega, grabbed by U.S. military in an invasion and transported to Florida for supposed "trial". A corrupt federal judge kept all Bush family corruption matters linked to Noriega and the American CIA OUT OF THE COURT RECORD.
Who all are involved, and what is involved, in the massive river of clandestine and illicit funds to and from the Elder Bush and his three sons? It falls mainly into these categories:
[1] Super-courier of "dirty money", Vincent W. Foster, Jr., an espionage kingpin jointly with Hillary Rodham Clinton and Webster Hubbell.
[2] The reported bribery of judges of the Texas Supreme Court to okay a TWELVE BILLION DOLLAR lower court judgment in favor of the Elder Bush's firm, PENNZOIL, against TEXACO, a major importer of oil from Iraq. Bush as well strong-armed the U.S. Supreme Court judges in the Pennzoil-Texaco case. (More in a further part of this series.)
[3] Reputed soybean speculator and money washer, Richard Dennis of Chicago, in combination with Senator Fred Thompson (R., Tenn.) and major movie moguls and sports celebrities. (More coming.)
[4] Extortion and kick-backs, extracted from the weak oil sheikdoms of the Persian Gulf, done from the decade of 1980 to 1990, by the Elder Bush and his then private business partner, Saddam Hussein, the Iraqi strongman. Transactions through the Chicago branch of Italy's largest bank, Banca Nazionale del Lavoro, owned in part by the Vatican. And arms deals for Saddam through BNL-Atlanta with the connivance of Bush and Hillary Clinton. (More coming.)
[5] Political assassinations and other bloody dirty tricks by the Bush family and others, through Bank of Credit and Commerce International, BCCI, and its alter ego and successor, Pinnacle Banc Group, of the Chicago mafia enclave of Cicero jointly with the head of the Vatican Bank. (More coming.)
[6] The Bush family and the Manuel Noriega Affair.(More coming.)
[7] The Red Chinese Secret Police, the Bush Family, Kenneth w. Starr, the Japanese mafia (YAKUZA), and the Chicago markets. (More coming.)
THE VINCENT W. FOSTER, Jr.AFFAIR - Section One
The Clinton's close crony, Vincent W. Foster, Jr., was being tracked as a possible traitorous spy assisting Jonathan Pollard, long before Foster's short term position as Deputy Counsel in the Clinton White House, a secret government report states.
The details are in a report put together by retired former intelligence agents and submitted to their former superiors. When the higher ups wanted the matter covered up, the team showed it to members of our group who took notes but were not permitted to keep a copy.
Surveilled under orders of a clandestine court meeting in a sound-proof facility in the District of Columbia area, Foster was shown to have coded Swiss and other accounts ostensibly put there for him by Israeli intelligence, The Mossad [The Institute]. The seldom-mentioned Court's authority stemmed from the 1978 law, under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. Usually, a federal judge from Chicago was one of those on the court panel. Deposits at Foster's account at one bank on the Swiss-Italian border, at Chiasso, Banca Della Svizzera Italiana--and accounts elsewhere--held at times two, seven, and as much as ten million dollars between them, the report details. The deposits were put there reportedly for Foster's co-operation with The Mossad. Foster may have been blackmailed or tricked, however, by way of the purported existence of these accounts, to supply top-most U.S. secrets to Israel and to work jointly with Jonathan Pollard, now serving a life sentence for confessing to spying for Israel as to U.S. secrets on the arming of Iraq by George Herbert Walker Bush and Caspar Weinberger. Foster, the report states, worked jointly with the person using the pseudonym of "Robert Maxwell", a high-level Mossad official posing as a U.S./British/European purported business tycoon in the mass media and elsewhere. Maxwell mysteriously fell off his boat to his death in the Atlantic late in 1991. His business empire, thereafter shown to be a fraud, collapsed. Others may likewise be blackmailing Israel, the report shows.
The suppressed document goes on to detail that since the early 1980s, Foster held the equivalent rank, as if he were a military general, in the super-duper civilian government spying and code-cracking operation of the U.S., the National Security Agency. Foster continued this work in the fews months that he was Deputy Counsel of the Clinton White House. In the 1980s and thereafter, Foster, with the aid of the Elder Bush, ran a so-called "Gold Bank" in the Caribbean, for supplying clandestine gold for use by spy operatives, the report sets out.
For more than twelve years, Foster traveled widely for the NSA, sometimes on behalf of reputed NSA proprietary, Systematics, then headquartered in Arkansas. Systematics purported to be supplying bank computer software services. They actually apparently were spying on banks worldwide, friend and foe alike, for NSA. Traveling for NSA/Systematics hundreds of thousands of miles, Foster was the master-mind of an NSA project that tracked Federal Reserve and private wire transfers between banks, trillions of dollars per day. Foster acted jointly in the project with the aid of his two Rose Law Firm partners, Hillary Rodham Clinton, and Webster Hubbell who had been Mayor of Little Rock and once Acting Chief Judge of the Arkansas Supreme Court. Foster's airline travel records, the report shows, were issued in his capacity as a "U.S. Government Official".
Because of being the master inquisitor of this action, Foster never believed the project and circumstances might someday find his own purported foreign coded accounts, or that such accounts, if he did not already know the funds were parked there for him---that such purported coded accounts could supposedly finger him as having violated American espionage laws.
This trio---Foster, Hillary, Hubbell---and their project made use of computer software, superior for money tracking, called PROMIS, stolen from its copyright-owner and developer, INSLAW, Inc. High officials in the Reagan/Bush Administration, in fact, with the particular aid of George Bush, reportedly stole the software and sold it to foreign espionage agencies, supposedly for tracking political dissidents. The software actually had a "trap door" for the American CIA and the NSA to spy on intelligence agencies, friend and foe alike. The report contends that to successfully expose all this and Foster's role might damage both the G.O.P and the Democrat Party.
A code-name-only Federal Agency commissioned the retired intelligence agents to put together a report on Foster which was never supposed to be referred to publicly or see the light of day. Not supposed to be de-classified for thirty years, the report contends among events:
=== Foster, as spy chief, assisted Jonathan Pollard, a lower level analyst at the Office of Naval Intelligence, ONI, to carry through security blocks, the equivalent of an entire room full of the highest U.S. secrets on nuclear weapons, including tracking and targetting details and satellite co-ordinating codes and data. [Some of these details in binders were found in or near Foster's White House office after his death.]
===That Foster assisted Pollard on behalf of then Vice President George Bush and then U.S. Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger. And Foster caused others to assist Pollard who did not himself have the authority to be carrying such secrets home with him. Both Foster and Pollard were apparently paid for this: supposedly through the use of PROMIS Software and other means, to supply Israel with such data long before Israel had developed its own proficiency in the same field.
===In so doing, Foster purportedly enabled Israel to be perceived as a genuine nuclear threat to the then Soviet Union.
===That the so-called "publisher" tycoon, using the fake name "Robert Maxwell", assisted in these joint efforts. [When "Maxwell" died mysteriously, he was buried with top honors as if he were the head of Israeli intelligence, The Mossad.]
===That Foster jointly with his NSA/Systematics partners, Hillary Rodham Clinton and Webster Hubbell (who went on to become 3rd in command in the Clinton Justice Department), supervised and strategized for the NSA purported proprietary, which, in turn, made use of the reputedly stolen INSLAW software. [A Chicago-area attorney, a close crony of Hillary's, John E. Gierum, of the suburb of Park Ridge, where she is from, confessed to this writer, in the presence of a witness, that the Clinton White House was trying to frame him on matters related to this. Gierum did not dispute the details of his confession when we confronted him in the Federal District Court in Chicago, 1996-97. The purpose of the intended "frame-up" was to silence Gierum.]
===That the Foster-Hillary-Hubbell trio aided the worldwide surveilliance on bank wire transfers and transactions, through the INSLAW "trap door". Also spying on transactions on an advance data basis, of stock, bond, commodities, and options trading and brokering in the U.S. and elsewhere. This spying, the report states, benefitted certain high-level persons in the U.S. and elsewhere, including George Herbert Walker Bush, Caspar Weinberger, and others. Among the places used, the report contends, was a highly secret, heavily secure operation on the 94th Floor of the World Trade Center in New York City. That operation, the report asserts, may have been the target of the bombing of that building in 1993 since the basement attack would cause noxious fumes to gather on the upper floors. (One of the accused so-called "Arab terrorists" bombers was actually close to Israeli intelligence, the report states.)
The document raises the issue that Israel and others may have had an interest to knock out the 94th floor operation.
According to the report, a former high-level Mossad official, living in the Chicago-area, co-ordinates some of the bank and brokerage spying, through a super-computer built into his home. The retired intelligence agency team assert that he is a renegade now working AGAINST The Mossad and is highly corrupt. His address and particulars were made available by certain other sources for the purposes of targetting him for a so-called Israeli revenge attack on his residence. By accident some years prior, this writer interviewed that official when he supposedly was still an Israeli official.
The report goes on to contend that Hillary was more or less Foster's "lover" and had knowledge of his purported coded secret accounts; that Hillary had what is known in law as a beneficial interest in those accounts in Switzerland and elsewhere.
The report goes on to detail how Hillary and Foster were apparently able to blackmail various members of the U.S. Congress and federal agencies. The report lists 240 top U.S. Officials who took bribes or were black-mailed as if they did take the bribes, by way of bribery funds parked in Swiss and other banks. A small group of former intelligence operatives, very adept with super-computers, traced and determined these coded accounts and through computer trickery, caused the accounts to be entirely withdrawn and wiped out, and the deposits transferred. Over 3-1/2 million dollars of coded accounts supposedly belonging to U.S. officials, were transferred to the U.S. Treasury Holding Account---a device for seizing illicit foreign funds of U.S. citizens.
The report contends, however, that under disguise of being seized for the U.S. Treasury Holding Account, that the funds were actually stolen by the computer wizards. Left unanswered, the report asserts, is whether these accounts, including that supposedly of Foster with Hillary's beneficial interest, ever went to the U.S. Treasury Holding Account or actually to private accounts, including those of George Herbert Walker Bush and his family, and certain renegade operations of the American CIA, French CIA, the Mossad, British Counter-Intelligence, and others.
Shortly before his death, the report states, Foster was upset when informed by the First Lady that Foster's purported coded accounts, supposedly from Israel, were found out and seized; that Foster was about to be charged with treason against the U.S. based on those purported accounts. Those about to charge Foster, the report states that Hillary informed Foster, claimed he should have been sent to life in prison along with his confederate Jonathan Pollard. Hillary is quoted in the report as informing Foster that she thinks if he were to finger his accomplices in the Pollard treason, namely George Herbert Walker Bush and Caspar Weinberger; that it would not constitute a practical criminal defense in view of the influence of those two with the Courts.
The report raises the issue that Foster's brother-in-law, Beryl Anthony, former Arkansas Congressman, might be implicated in the spying jointly through Anthony's boss, Jim Thompson, former Illinois Governor and financed for high office by the Rockefeller Family. Thompson has been chairman of the 400-member, Chicago-headquartered law firm, with worldwide offices, Winston & Strawn, of which Anthony has been a key member in their District of Columbia office.
The report makes the sinister point that Foster's death was "arranged" and "necessary" for reasons of protecting the bank/brokerage/foreign intelligence agency spying project. That Foster had to be "terminated" for "national security".
In the Second Section of Part Three: More about why and HOW Foster was murdered. And the role of Redspan/Bush.

John F. Kennedy vs The Federal Reserve
John P. Curran
On June 4, 1963, a virtually unknown Presidential decree, Executive Order 11110, was signed with the authority to basically strip the Federal Reserve Bank of its power to loan money to the United States Federal Government at interest. With the stroke of a pen, President Kennedy declared that the privately owned Federal Reserve Bank would soon be out of business. The Christian Law Fellowship has exhaustively researched this matter through the Federal Register and Library of Congress. We can now safely conclude that this Executive Order has never been repealed, amended, or superceded by any subsequent Executive Order. In simple terms, it is still valid.
When President John Fitzgerald Kennedy - the author of Profiles in Courage -signed this Order, it returned to the federal government, specifically the Treasury Department, the Constitutional power to create and issue currency -money - without going through the privately owned Federal Reserve Bank. President Kennedy's Executive Order 11110 [the full text is displayed further below] gave the Treasury Department the explicit authority: "to issue silver certificates against any silver bullion, silver, or standard silver dollars in the Treasury." This means that for every ounce of silver in the U.S. Treasury's vault, the government could introduce new money into circulation based on the silver bullion physically held there. As a result, more than $4 billion in United States Notes were brought into circulation in $2 and $5 denominations. $10 and $20 United States Notes were never circulated but were being printed by the Treasury Department when Kennedy was assassinated. It appears obvious that President Kennedy knew the Federal Reserve Notes being used as the purported legal currency were contrary to the Constitution of the United States of America.
“United States Notes" were issued as an interest-free and debt-free currency backed by silver reserves in the U.S. Treasury. We compared a "Federal Reserve Note" issued from the private central bank of the United States (the Federal Reserve Bank a/k/a Federal Reserve System), with a "United States Note" from the U.S. Treasury issued by President Kennedy's Executive Order. They almost look alike, except one says "Federal Reserve Note" on the top while the other says "United States Note". Also, the Federal Reserve Note has a green seal and serial number while the United States Note has a red seal and serial number.
President Kennedy was assassinated on November 22, 1963 and the United States Notes he had issued were immediately taken out of circulation. Federal Reserve Notes continued to serve as the legal currency of the nation. According to the United States Secret Service, 99% of all U.S. paper "currency" circulating in 1999 are Federal Reserve Notes.
Kennedy knew that if the silver-backed United States Notes were widely circulated, they would have eliminated the demand for Federal Reserve Notes. This is a very simple matter of economics. The USN was backed by silver and the FRN was not backed by anything of intrinsic value. Executive Order 11110 should have prevented the national debt from reaching its current level (virtually all of the nearly $9 trillion in federal debt has been created since 1963) if LBJ or any subsequent President were to enforce it. It would have almost immediately given the U.S. Government the ability to repay its debt without going to the private Federal Reserve Banks and being charged interest to create new "money". Executive Order 11110 gave the U.S.A. the ability to, once again, create its own money backed by silver and realm value worth something.
Again, according to our own research, just five months after Kennedy was assassinated, no more of the Series 1958 "Silver Certificates" were issued either, and they were subsequently removed from circulation. Perhaps the assassination of JFK was a warning to all future presidents not to interfere with the private Federal Reserve's control over the creation of money. It seems very apparent that President Kennedy challenged the "powers that exist behind U.S. and world finance". With true patriotic courage, JFK boldly faced the two most successful vehicles that have ever been used to drive up debt: 1) war (Viet Nam); and, 2) the creation of money by a privately owned central bank. His efforts to have all U.S. troops out of Vietnam by 1965 combined with Executive Order 11110 would have destroyed the profits and control of the private Federal Reserve Bank.
Executive Order 11110
AMENDMENT OF EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 10289 AS AMENDED, RELATING TO THE PERFORMANCE OF CERTAIN FUNCTIONS AFFECTING THE DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY. By virtue of the authority vested in me by section 301 of title 3 of the United States Code, it is ordered as follows:

Once again, Executive Order 11110 is still valid. According to Title 3, United States Code, Section 301 dated January 26, 1998:
Executive Order (EO) 10289 dated Sept. 17, 1951, 16 F.R. 9499, was as amended by:
EO... 10583, dated December 18, 1954, 19 F.R. 8725;
EO... 10882 dated July 18, 1960, 25 F.R. 6869;
EO... 11110 dated June 4, 1963, 28 F.R. 5605;
EO... 11825 dated December 31, 1974, 40 F.R. 1003;
EO... 12608 dated September 9, 1987, 52 F.R. 34617
The 1974 and 1987 amendments, added after Kennedy's 1963 amendment, did not change or alter any part of Kennedy's EO 11110. A search of Clinton's 1998 and 1999 EO's and Presidential Directives has also shown no reference to any alterations, suspensions, or changes to EO 11110.
The Federal Reserve Bank, a.k.a Federal Reserve System, is a Private Corporation. Black's Law Dictionary defines the "Federal Reserve System" as: "Network of twelve central banks to which most national banks belong and to which state chartered banks may belong. Membership rules require investment of stock and minimum reserves." Privately-owned banks own the stock of the FED. This was explained in more detail in the case of Lewis v. United States, Federal Reporter, 2nd Series, Vol. 680, Pages 1239, 1241 (1982), where the court said: "Each Federal Reserve Bank is a separate corporation owned by commercial banks in its region. The stock-holding commercial banks elect two thirds of each Bank's nine member board of directors".
The Federal Reserve Banks are locally controlled by their member banks. Once again, according to Black's Law Dictionary, we find that these privately owned banks actually issue money:
"Federal Reserve Act. Law which created Federal Reserve banks which act as agents in maintaining money reserves, issuing money in the form of bank notes, lending money to banks, and supervising banks. Administered by Federal Reserve Board (q.v.)". The privately owned Federal Reserve (FED) banks actually issue (create) the "money" we use. In 1964, the House Committee on Banking and Currency, Subcommittee on Domestic Finance, at the second session of the 88th Congress, put out a study entitled Money Facts which contains a good description of what the FED is: "The Federal Reserve is a total money-making machine. It can issue money or checks. And it never has a problem of making its checks good because it can obtain the $5 and $10 bills necessary to cover its check simply by asking the Treasury Department's Bureau of Engraving to print them".
Any one person or any closely knit group who has a lot of money has a lot of power. Now imagine a group of people who have the power to create money. Imagine the power these people would have. This is exactly what the privately owned FED is!
No man did more to expose the power of the FED than Louis T. McFadden, who was the Chairman of the House Banking Committee back in the 1930s. In describing the FED, he remarked in the Congressional Record, House pages 1295 and 1296 on June 10, 1932:
"Mr. Chairman, we have in this country one of the most corrupt institutions the world has ever known. I refer to the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal reserve banks. The Federal Reserve Board, a Government Board, has cheated the Government of the United States and he people of the United States out of enough money to pay the national debt. The depredations and the iniquities of the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal reserve banks acting together have cost this country enough money to pay the national debt several times over. This evil institution has impoverished and ruined the people of the United States; has bankrupted itself, and has practically bankrupted our Government. It has done this through the maladministration of that law by which the Federal Reserve Board, and through the corrupt practices of the moneyed vultures who control it".
Some people think the Federal Reserve Banks are United States Government institutions. They are not Government institutions, departments, or agencies. They are private credit monopolies which prey upon the people of the United States for the benefit of themselves and their foreign customers. Those 12 private credit monopolies were deceitfully placed upon this country by bankers who came here from Europe and who repaid us for our hospitality by undermining our American institutions.
The FED basically works like this: The government granted its power to create money to the FED banks. They create money, then loan it back to the government charging interest. The government levies income taxes to pay the interest on the debt. On this point, it's interesting to note that the Federal Reserve Act and the sixteenth amendment, which gave congress the power to collect income taxes, were both passed in 1913. The incredible power of the FED over the economy is universally admitted. Some people, especially in the banking and academic communities, even support it. On the other hand, there are those, such as President John Fitzgerald Kennedy, that have spoken out against it. His efforts were spoken about in Jim Marrs' 1990 book Crossfire:"
Another overlooked aspect of Kennedy's attempt to reform American society involves money. Kennedy apparently reasoned that by returning to the constitution, which states that only Congress shall coin and regulate money, the soaring national debt could be reduced by not paying interest to the bankers of the Federal Reserve System, who print paper money then loan it to the government at interest. He moved in this area on June 4, 1963, by signing Executive Order 11110 which called for the issuance of $4,292,893,815 in United States Notes through the U.S. Treasury rather than the traditional Federal Reserve System. That same day, Kennedy signed a bill changing the backing of one and two dollar bills from silver to gold, adding strength to the weakened U.S. currency.
Kennedy's comptroller of the currency, James J. Saxon, had been at odds with the powerful Federal Reserve Board for some time, encouraging broader investment and lending powers for banks that were not part of the Federal Reserve system. Saxon also had decided that non-Reserve banks could underwrite state and local general obligation bonds, again weakening the dominant Federal Reserve banks".
In a comment made to a Columbia University class on Nov. 12, 1963,
Ten days before his assassination, President John Fitzgerald Kennedy allegedly said:
"The high office of the President has been used to foment a plot to destroy the American's freedom and before I leave office, I must inform the citizen of this plight."
In this matter, John Fitzgerald Kennedy appears to be the subject of his own book... a true Profile of Courage.

What is the Federal Reserve Bank?
What is the Federal Reserve Bank (FED) and why do we have it?
by Greg Hobbs November 1, 1999
The FED is a central bank. Central banks are supposed to implement a country's fiscal policies. They monitor commercial banks to ensure that they maintain sufficient assets, like cash, so as to remain solvent and stable. Central banks also do business, such as currency exchanges and gold transactions, with other central banks. In theory, a central bank should be good for a country, and they might be if it wasn't for the fact that they are not owned or controlled by the government of the country they are serving. Private central banks, including our FED, operate not in the interest of the public good but for profit.
There have been three central banks in our nation's history. The first two, while deceptive and fraudulent, pale in comparison to the scope and size of the fraud being perpetrated by our current FED. What they all have in common is an insidious practice known as "fractional banking."
Fractional banking or fractional lending is the ability to create money from nothing, lend it to the government or someone else and charge interest to boot. The practice evolved before banks existed. Goldsmiths rented out space in their vaults to individuals and merchants for storage of their gold or silver. The goldsmiths gave these "depositors" a certificate that showed the amount of gold stored. These certificates were then used to conduct business.
In time the goldsmiths noticed that the gold in their vaults was rarely withdrawn. Small amounts would move in and out but the large majority never moved. Sensing a profit opportunity, the goldsmiths issued double receipts for the gold, in effect creating money (certificates) from nothing and then lending those certificates (creating debt) to depositors and charging them interest as well.
Since the certificates represented more gold than actually existed, the certificates were "fractionally" backed by gold. Eventually some of these vault operations were transformed into banks and the practice of fractional banking continued.
Keep that fractional banking concept in mind as we examine our first central bank, the First Bank of the United States (BUS). It was created, after bitter dissent in the Congress, in 1791 and chartered for 20 years. A scam not unlike the current FED, the BUS used its control of the currency to defraud the public and establish a legal form of usury.
This bank practiced fractional lending at a 10:1 rate, ten dollars of loans for each dollar they had on deposit. This misuse and abuse of their public charter continued for the entire 20 years of their existence. Public outrage over these abuses was such that the charter was not renewed and the bank ceased to exist in 1811.
The war of 1812 left the country in economic chaos, seen by bankers as another opportunity for easy profits. They influenced Congress to charter the second central bank, the Second Bank of the United States (SBUS), in 1816.
The SBUS was more expansive than the BUS. The SBUS sold franchises and literally doubled the number of banks in a short period of time. The country began to boom and move westward, which required money. Using fractional lending at the 10:1 rate, the central bank and their franchisees created the debt/money for the expansion.
Things boomed for a while, then the banks decided to shut off the debt/money, citing the need to control inflation. This action on the part of the SBUS caused bankruptcies and foreclosures. The banks then took control of the assets that were used as security against the loans.
Closely examine how the SBUS engineered this cycle of prosperity and depression. The central bank caused inflation by creating debt/money for loans and credit and making these funds readily available. The economy boomed. Then they used the inflation which they created as an excuse to shut off the loans/credit/money.
The resulting shortage of cash caused the economy to falter or slow dramatically and large numbers of business and personal bankruptcies resulted. The central bank then seized the assets used as security for the loans. The wealth created by the borrowers during the boom was then transferred to the central bank during the bust. And you always wondered how the big guys ended up with all the marbles.
Now, who do you think is responsible for all of the ups and downs in our economy over the last 85 years? Think about the depression of the late '20s and all through the '30s. The FED could have pumped lots of debt/money into the market to stimulate the economy and get the country back on track, but did they? No; in fact, they restricted the money supply quite severely. We all know the results that occurred from that action, don't we?
Why would the FED do this? During that period asset values and stocks were at rock bottom prices. Who do you think was buying everything at 10 cents on the dollar? I believe that it is referred to as consolidating the wealth. How many times have they already done this in the last 85 years?
Do you think they will do it again?
Just as an aside at this point, look at today's economy. Markets are declining. Why? Because the FED has been very liberal with its debt/credit/money. The market was hyper inflated. Who creates inflation? The FED. How does the FED deal with inflation? They restrict the debt/credit/money. What happens when they do that? The market collapses.
Several months back, after certain central banks said they would be selling large quantities of gold, the price of gold fell to a 25-year low of about $260 per ounce. The central banks then bought gold. After buying at the bottom, a group of 15 central banks announced that they would be restricting the amount of gold released into the market for the next five years. The price of gold went up $75.00 per ounce in just a few days. How many hundreds of billions of dollars did the central banks make with those two press releases?
Gold is generally considered to be a hedge against more severe economic conditions. Do you think that the private banking families that own the FED are buying or selling equities at this time? (Remember: buy low, sell high.) How much money do you think these FED owners have made since they restricted the money supply at the top of this last current cycle?
Alan Greenspan has said publicly on several occasions that he thinks the market is overvalued, or words to that effect. Just a hint that he will raise interest rates (restrict the money supply), and equity markets have a negative reaction. Governments and politicians do not rule central banks, central banks rule governments and politicians. President Andrew Jackson won the presidency in 1828 with the promise to end the national debt and eliminate the SBUS. During his second term President Jackson withdrew all government funds from the bank and on January 8, 1835, paid off the national debt. He is the only president in history to have this distinction. The charter of the SBUS expired in 1836.
Without a central bank to manipulate the supply of money, the United States experienced unprecedented growth for 60 or 70 years, and the resulting wealth was too much for bankers to endure. They had to get back into the game. So, in 1910 Senator Nelson Aldrich, then Chairman of the National Monetary Commission, in collusion with representatives of the European central banks, devised a plan to pressure and deceive Congress into enacting legislation that would covertly establish a private central bank.
This bank would assume control over the American economy by controlling the issuance of its money. After a huge public relations campaign, engineered by the foreign central banks, the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 was slipped through Congress during the Christmas recess, with many members of the Congress absent. President Woodrow Wilson, pressured by his political and financial backers, signed it on December 23, 1913.
The act created the Federal Reserve System, a name carefully selected and designed to deceive. "Federal" would lead one to believe that this is a government organization. "Reserve" would lead one to believe that the currency is being backed by gold and silver. "System" was used in lieu of the word "bank" so that one would not conclude that a new central bank had been created.
In reality, the act created a private, for profit, central banking corporation owned by a cartel of private banks. Who owns the FED? The Rothschilds of London and Berlin; Lazard Brothers of Paris; Israel Moses Seif of Italy; Kuhn, Loeb and Warburg of Germany; and the Lehman Brothers, Goldman, Sachs and the Rockefeller families of New York.
Did you know that the FED is the only for-profit corporation in America that is exempt from both federal and state taxes? The FED takes in about one trillion dollars per year tax free! The banking families listed above get all that money.
Almost everyone thinks that the money they pay in taxes goes to the US Treasury to pay for the expenses of the government. Do you want to know where your tax dollars really go? If you look at the back of any check made payable to the IRS you will see that it has been endorsed as "Pay Any F.R.B. Branch or Gen. Depository for Credit U.S. Treas. This is in Payment of U.S. Oblig." Yes, that's right, every dime you pay in income taxes is given to those private banking families, commonly known as the FED, tax free.
Like many of you, I had some difficulty with the concept of creating money from nothing. You may have heard the term "monetizing the debt," which is kind of the same thing. As an example, if the US Government wants to borrow $1 million ó the government does borrow every dollar it spends ó they go to the FED to borrow the money. The FED calls the Treasury and says print 10,000 Federal Reserve Notes (FRN) in units of one hundred dollars.
The Treasury charges the FED 2.3 cents for each note, for a total of $230 for the 10,000 FRNs. The FED then lends the $1 million to the government at face value plus interest. To add insult to injury, the government has to create a bond for $1 million as security for the loan. And the rich get richer. The above was just an example, because in reality the FED does not even print the money; it's just a computer entry in their accounting system. To put this on a more personal level, let's use another example.
Today's banks are members of the Federal Reserve Banking System. This membership makes it legal for them to create money from nothing and lend it to you. Today's banks, like the goldsmiths of old, realize that only a small fraction of the money deposited in their banks is ever actually withdrawn in the form of cash. Only about 4 percent of all the money that exists is in the form of currency. The rest of it is simply a computer entry.
Let's say you're approved to borrow $10,000 to do some home improvements. You know that the bank didn't actually take $10,000 from its pile of cash and put it into your pile? They simply went to their computer and input an entry of $10,000 into your account. They created, from thin air, a debt which you have to secure with an asset and repay with interest. The bank is allowed to create and lend as much debt as they want as long as they do not exceed the 10:1 ratio imposed by the FED.
It sort of puts a new slant on how you view your friendly bank, doesn't it? How about those loan committees that scrutinize you with a microscope before approving the loan they created from thin air. What a hoot! They make it complex for a reason. They don't want you to understand what they are doing. People fear what they do not understand. You are easier to delude and control when you are ignorant and afraid.
Now to put the frosting on this cake. When was the income tax created? If you guessed 1913, the same year that the FED was created, you get a gold star. Coincidence? What are the odds? If you are going to use the FED to create debt, who is going to repay that debt? The income tax was created to complete the illusion that real money had been lent and therefore real money had to be repaid. And you thought Houdini was good.
So, what can be done? My father taught me that you should always stand up for what is right, even if you have to stand up alone.
If "We the People" don't take some action now, there may come a time when "We the People" are no more. You should write a letter or send an email to each of your elected representatives. Many of our elected representatives do not understand the FED. Once informed they will not be able to plead ignorance and remain silent.
Article 1, Section 8 of the US Constitution specifically says that Congress is the only body that can "coin money and regulate the value thereof." The US Constitution has never been amended to allow anyone other than Congress to coin and regulate currency.
Ask your representative, in light of that information, how it is possible for the Federal Reserve Act of 1913, and the Federal Reserve Bank that it created, to be constitutional. Ask them why this private banking cartel is allowed to reap trillions of dollars in profits without paying taxes. Insist on an answer.
Thomas Jefferson said, "If the America people ever allow private banks to control the issuance of their currencies, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all their prosperity until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered."
Jefferson saw it coming 150 years ago. The question is, "Can you now see what is in store for us if we allow the FED to continue controlling our country?" "The condition upon which God hath given liberty to man is eternal vigilance; which condition if he breaks, servitude is at once the consequence of his crime, and the punishment of his guilt."

The Internet Must Die
Warren Pease – OpEdNews.com January 15, 2008
"I hear there's rumors on the Internets that we're going to have a draft." — George W. Bush, contemplating his next cold Lone Star, October 8, 2004, St. Louis, Mo
You know that you've reached desperate times when you find yourself fondly remembering Tass and Pravda as beacons of journalistic integrity.
But when considering US corporate media's seven-year love affair with the Bush administration and its willingness to deliver blatant propaganda and outright lies to manufacture Bush-approved political orthodoxy, those former USSR institutions compare favorably with the shameless house organs now masquerading as an American free press.
The Internet's corporate competition: co-opted beyond redemption
Thanks to a 30-year frenzy of mergers and acquisitions, wink-and-nod FCC “oversight" and congressional unwillingness to invoke existing anti-trust laws, the American marketplace of ideas is now ruled by six massive conglomerates that control the content of more than 80 percent of what most of us see, hear and read.
So what? Well, for one thing, a significant majority of news, entertainment and information US audiences see is vetted for its support of status quo corporate values and purged of "dangerous" unconventional narratives – perhaps regarding the threat to independent thought posed by media consolidation.
And when discussing media consolidation, someone might tumble to the fact that NBC is owned by General Electric, one of the world's largest armaments manufacturers in 2006 and among the six largest media conglomerates. GE makes and maintains engines for the F-16 Fighter jet, Abrams tank, Apache helicopter, U2 bomber, Unmanned Combat Air Vehicle (UCAV), A-10 aircraft and numerous other military equipment, including planes, helicopters, tanks and more.
Is it reasonable to expect NBC to report critically on the status and duration of the Iraq occupation? Or is it predictable that NBC's occupation coverage will tell us that the "surge" is working, that US troop deaths are down, that the Iraqi puppet regime is gaining traction and, if we can hang on for another decade, things should turn out hunky-dory.
Well, it's certain that extending the US presence in Iraq by a decade will have a very positive impact on GE's profit and loss statements. It's probably going to be somewhat less beneficial for the people who actually have to fight this insane proxy war on behalf of GE's bottom line.
But that's okay, since war is the optimum business condition for many industries – banks, weapons makers, raw materials suppliers, machine tool makers and so on – GE looks to sell many billions of dollars more of its killing machinery, all the while telling Americans via NBC how peace is just 10 or so years down the road.
And GE is just one of the main offenders. We'll leave for another day a discussion on how thoroughly Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. has polluted the national discourse. Or how the acquisitive tentacles of Viacom, CBS, TimeWarner and Disney have managed to take a relatively engaged population and, in 30 short years, turn it into a nation of compliant, ill-informed, politically illiterate chowder heads content to consume their quota of goods, services and ideologies with an equally uncritical eye.
American mass media lost the thread of the story decades ago and are now only qualified to dish pop culture infotainment masquerading as news; report breathlessly on the latest D-class celebrity screw-up; and act as stenographers and cheerleaders for the latest batch of official Bush administration lies.
Among other insults, this explains why John Stossel is a network star while Bill Moyers is on PBS.
The parallel universe
The only serious competition threatening corporate media's monopoly on official "truths" – those pieties designed to narrow acceptable choices and increase social control – comes from the Internet.
"The news," as it's laughingly known, can tap into a seemingly endless supply of drunken or felonious fools like Jessica and Paris and OJ and Twitany to sedate its viewers. Then there's the occasional gruesome murder to balance the chirpy happy talk on miraculous medical procedures (which most of us will never live to experience because our for-profit insurers won't cover them), an always erroneous look at local weather, followed by 15 uplifting minutes on sports and a recap of the top celebrity screw-ups of the day. The viewer yawns, feels a bit over-awed by all this technical wizardry and slick showmanship, and heads for bed thinking he's up to date on the stuff that really matters.
Corporate media has a bottomless pool of "on-air talent" – perfectly coiffed, well-modulated, tastefully made up, arrayed in $5K worth of suits, ties and little flag lapel pins, strident and irritating as a hundred Ross Perots.
We have broadband, YouTube, blogs, forums, actual reporters, search engines, discussion groups, political organizing, access to newspapers published in actual free countries – all taking place in plain sight.
Over the past decade Internet and Web technology have matured and surpassed nearly anything mass media can offer. It's instant news, usually with audio or video, often reported by eyewitnesses rather than filtered by some blow-dried idiot. It's preserving what's left of our national heritage by archiving "purged" documents. It's subjecting every significant political, social and economic development to the scrutiny and analysis of the world's collective brainpower. It's the unifying element linking diverse cultures into an evolving planetary society not subordinated to states or lines on a map. And it's the universe's greatest source of jokes, one-liners and satire.
Governments' worst nightmare: an informed and activist citizenry
I don't see how the power elites can afford to allow this nonsense to continue for much longer. People with unconventional (read: humanitarian or peaceful) ideas are the implacable enemy of those sustaining their wealth and power by aligning themselves with the status quo, and these dissenting Internet pipsqueaks cannot be tolerated forever.
To our corporate masters, libraries, independent publishers and bookstores are bad enough. But fortunately for "them," libraries are underfunded and ill-attended, it's getting harder to publish dissenting material in the US and many independent book stores are getting killed by the Barnes & Nobles and Amazons of the world.
Not so the Internet. It's become the alternate universe for hundreds of millions of people worldwide who know and understand that the official story is always and inevitably suspect. That altruism has never been a function of governments. That governments are always at war with "the people" they pretend to watch out for. That, as The Commander Guy pointed out in a rare moment of clarity, dictatorships ARE easier to run than representative democracies. That power exists solely to perpetuate itself and, when threatened, will defend its position with anything and everything in the arsenal.
Now that's a hell of an alternate narrative. And the Internet is the "plumbing" that carries these contrarian messages – and the seditious thoughts and attitudes and movements they inspire – around the world in less time than it takes Murdoch to count his latest billion.
Death by harassment
In July of last year, Bush signed an executive order, entitled "Blocking Property of Certain Persons Who Threaten Stabilization Efforts in Iraq". This expanded the administration's flexible definition of a terrorist to include anyone disagreeing with its " . . . efforts to promote economic reconstruction and political reform in Iraq or to provide humanitarian assistance to the Iraqi people." This apparently isn't intended as a joke, although I'm not sure what's going on over there qualifies as "economic reconstruction" or "humanitarian assistance."
Which brings us to "Endgame," as the Department of Homeland Security calls HR 1955/S 1959, known officially as The Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007, and which contains – among dozens of disgusting provisions – these gems [italics mine]:
(2) The promotion of violent radicalization, homegrown terrorism and ideologically based violence exists in the United States and poses a threat to homeland security.
(3) The Internet has aided in facilitating violent radicalization, ideologically based violence, and the homegrown terrorism process in the United States by providing access to broad and constant streams of terrorist-related propaganda to United States citizens.
Striking at the heart of the international terrorist conspiracy, this bill targets the dangerous arch-fiends/grandmothers/MySpace teens who participate on the hundreds of thousands of political forums, blogs or news and information sites that aren't exclusively devoted to singing the praises of Bush/Cheney and their merry band of imperialist oil pirates.
Note that this piece of repressive legislation – rumored to be the brainchild of the Rand Corporation and introduced by Democrat Jane Harman – passed the House last October by a 404-6 margin.
Note that, introduced last August in the upper house as S 1959 and co-sponsored by GOP armchair warrior and domestic repression enthusiast Norm Coleman, it's coming up for a vote in the Senate early this year. If it passes, which seems likely, a Bush signature is a given – probably with a signing statement that says he'll ignore the act's few feeble provisions to combat totalitarianism, like this one:
(a) In General - The Department of Homeland Security's efforts to prevent ideologically based violence and homegrown terrorism as described herein shall not violate the constitutional rights, civil rights, or civil liberties of United States citizens or lawful permanent residents.
(b) Readers may want to take appropriate preemptive action before, say, downloading this article becomes a felony.
Another motive for digital murder
There's an interesting new site called "Wikileaks" that has garnered some recent attention from corporate mass media, notably Time Magazine, which notes that Wikileaks " . . . could become as important a journalistic tool as the Freedom of Information Act." The site is intended as a secure repository where whistleblowers can, at minimal personal risk, post confidential, potentially embarrassing government and corporate documents for the entire online world to see, study and analyze.
Here's part of Wikileaks' mission statement:
We propose that authoritarian governments, oppressive institutions and corrupt corporations should be subject to the pressure, not merely of international diplomacy, freedom of information laws or even periodic elections, but of something far stronger — the consciences of the people within them.
We believe that transparency in government activities leads to reduced corruption, better government and stronger democracies . . . We believe this scrutiny requires information. Historically that information has been costly - in terms of human life and human rights. But with technological advances to the Internet and cryptography, the risks of conveying important information can be lowered.
Wikileaks opens leaked documents up to stronger scrutiny than any media organization or intelligence agency can provide. Wikileaks provides a forum for the entire global community to relentlessly examine any document for its credibility, plausibility, veracity and validity. Communities can interpret leaked documents and explain their relevance to the public. If a document comes from the Chinese government, the entire Chinese dissident community and diaspora can freely scrutinize and discuss it; if a document arrives from Iran, the entire Farsi community can analyze it and put it in context.
In an important sense, Wikileaks is the first intelligence agency of the people . . . its only interest is the revelation of the truth. Unlike the covert activities of state intelligence agencies, Wikileaks relies upon the power of overt fact to enable and empower citizens to bring feared and corrupt governments and corporations to justice.
Wikileaks is still months from going fully operational, but they've already put up quite a few leaked confidential documents from all over the world. Here's one entitled "Fallujah, the information war and U.S. propaganda."
I suppose the whole thing could be a slick disinfo psy-op designed to leak phony documents to "non-embedded" reporters, then embarrass them publicly for printing anti-US propaganda fabricated by some obscure left-radical loon or "terrorist."
But only a pure pessimist would think the Bush administration capable of such chicanery. On the contrary, they've amassed an impressive record of unstinting support for the organizing principles of this country . . . life, liberty and happiness for those with the right pedigree and who can kick in a million bucks or so to the Republican National Committee each election cycle.

Norwegian Politician: Planet X is Incoming 2.000.000 To Go Underground
Posted by Izakovic – Rumor Mill News January 5, 2008
Introduction
What follows may seem a little over the top but this website has recieved word from a very reliable clairvoyant friend. Our friend accurately foresaw the invasion of Iraq and the mess that it has turned into. He also foresaw a military clash with Iran, long before it seemed remotely possible.
More importantly however, he also "sees" the approach of Planet X. Expect its arrival sometime in the latter part of 2012.

Since posting it less than 24 hours ago, this page has been updated with additional detailed information from our source in response to our many further questions.

The following message was received by us shortly after we posted our tribute page to Benazir Bhutto. Although we cannot attest personally to the information given here, we feel in good conscience that we cannot and must not keep this from publication.
The person who wrote this message to us did so under their own name (which we have checked), and enclosed a number of photographs of them with the Prime Minister of Norway and (separately) with Benazir Bhutto. We are certain of their bona fides, but you will understand that we cannot reveal their real name or publish any photos without consent.
The content of this message, if true, could hardly be more important.

I am a Norwegian politician. I would like to say that difficult things will happen from the year 2008 till the year 2012.
The Norwegian government is building more and more underground bases and bunkers. When asked, they simply say that it is for the protection of the people of Norway. When I enquire when they are due to be finished, they reply “before 2011”.
Israel is also doing the same and many other countries too.
My proof that what I am saying is true is in the photographs I have sent of myself and all the Prime Ministers and ministers I tend to meet and am acquainted with. They know all of this, but they don’t want to alarm the people or create mass panic.
Planet X is coming, and Norway has begun with storage of food and seeds in the Svalbard area and in the arctic north with the help of the US and EU and all around in Norway. They will only save those that are in the elite of power and those that can build up again: doctors, scientists, and so on.
As for me, I already know that I am going to leave before 2012 to go the area of Mosjøen where we have a deep underground military facility. There we are divided into sectors, red, blue and green. The signs of the Norwegian military are already given to them and the camps have already been built a long time ago.
The people that are going to be left on the surface and die with along the others will get no help whatsoever. The plan is that 2,000,000 Norwegians are going to be safe, and the rest will die. That means 2,600,000 will perish into the night not knowing what to do.
All the sectors and arks are connected with tunnels and have railcars that can take you from one ark to the other. This is so that they can be in contact with each other. Only the large doors separate them so that the sectors are not compromised in any matter.
I am very sad. Often I cry with others that know that so many will learn too late, and then it will all be over for them. The government has been lying to the people from 1983 till now. All the major politicians know this in Norway, but few will say it to the people and the public - because they are afraid in case they too will miss the NOAH 12 railcars that will take them to the ark sites where they will be safe.
If they tell anyone, they are dead for sure. But I don’t care any more about myself. Mankind must survive and the species must survive. People must know this.
All the governments in the world are aware of this and they just say it is going to happen. For those of the people that can save themselves I can only say reach for higher ground and find caves up in the high places where you can have a food storage for at least five years with canned food and water to last for a while. Radiation pills and biosuits are also advisable if your budget allows it.
For the last time I say may God help us all... but God will not help us I know. Only each person individually can make a difference. Wake up, please...!
I could have written to you using another name but I am not afraid of anything any more. When you know certain things, you become invincible and no harm can come to you when you know that the end is soon.
I assure you 100% that things will happen. There are four years to prepare for the endgame. Get weapons, and make survival groups, and a place where you can be safe with food for a time.
Ask me anything and I will answer as much as I know about the Norwegian connection to all this. And just look around: they are building underground bases and bunkers everywhere. Open your eyes, people. Ask the governments what they are building, and they will say “Oh, it’s just storage for food”, and so on. They blind you with all the lies.
The marks of the alien presence are also there, and I often see the Norwegian elite politicians are not what they say they are. It’s like they are controlled in every thought, and what they have to say is just as they are told to do things in such manners. It is clear for me who they are, and who they are not. You can see it in their eyes and in their minds.
Remember that those who are going to be in and around the city areas in 2012 are those that are going to be hit first and die first. Later the army will purge the rest of the survivors and they have a shoot to kill order if there is any resistance to bring them into the camps where every one will get marked with a number and a tag.
I also see that Benazir Bhutto is spoken of on your site. Her death was tragic. I have met Benazir, as you can see. You will also see from the photographs that I have met with a number of other notable politicians and world leaders.
The public will not know what happens till the very end, because the government does not want to create mass panic. Everything will happen quietly and the government will just disappear.
But I say this: don't go quietly into the night. Take precautions to be safe with your family. Come together with others. Work together to find ways to solve all the many problems you will face.
Kind regards
