Is An International Financial
Conspiracy Driving World Events?
By Richard C. Cook
4-11-8
"They make a desolation and call it peace." -Tacitus
Was Alan Greenspan really as dumb as he looks in creating the late housing bubble that threatens to bring the entire Western debt-based economy crashing down?
Was something as easy to foresee as this really the trigger for a meltdown that could destroy the world's financial system? Or was it done, perhaps, "accidentally on purpose"?
And if so, why?
Let's turn to the U.S. personage that conspiracy theorists most often mention as being at the epicenter of whatever elite plan is reputed to exist. This would be David Rockefeller, the 92-year-old multibillionaire godfather of the world's financial elite.
The lengthy Wikipedia article on Rockefeller provides the following version of a celebrated statement he allegedly made in an opening speech at the Bilderberg conference in Baden-Baden, Germany, in June 1991:
"We are grateful to the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time magazine, and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subject to the bright lights of publicity during these years. But the world is now more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government which will never again know war, but only peace and prosperity for the whole of humanity. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in the past centuries."
This speech was made 17 years ago. It came at the beginning in the U.S. of the Bill Clinton administration. Rockefeller speaks of an "us." This "us," he says, has been having meetings for almost 40 years. If you add the 17 years since he gave the speech it was 57 years ago-two full generations.
Not only has "us" developed a "plan for the world," but the attempt to "develop" the plan has evidently been successful, at least in Rockefeller's mind. The ultimate goal of "us" is to create "the supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers." This will lead, he says, toward a "world government which will never again know war."
Just as an intellectual exercise, let's assume that David Rockefeller is as important and powerful a person as he seems to think he is. Let's give the man some credit and assume that he and "us" have in fact succeeded to a degree. This would mean that the major decisions and events since Rockefeller gave the speech in 1991 have probably also been part of the plan or that they have at least represented its features and intent.
David Rockefeller at Harvard in 2006
Therefore by examining these decisions and events we can determine whether in fact Rockefeller is being truthful in his assessment that the Utopia he has in mind is on its way or has at least come closer to being realized. In no particular order, some of these decisions and events are as follows:
The implementation of the North American Free Trade Agreement by the Bill Clinton and George W. Bush administrations has led to the elimination of millions of U.S. manufacturing jobs as well as the destruction of U.S. family farming in favor of global agribusiness.
Similar free trade agreements, including those under the auspices of the World Trade Organization, have led to export of millions of additional manufacturing jobs to China and elsewhere.
Average family income in the U.S. has steadily eroded while the share of the nation's wealth held by the richest income brackets has soared. Some Wall Street hedge fund managers are making $1 billion a year while the number of homeless, including war veterans, pushes a million.
The housing bubble has led to a huge inflation of real estate prices in the U.S. Millions of homes are falling into the hands of the bankers through foreclosure. The cost of land and rentals has further decimated family agriculture as well as small business. Rising property taxes based on inflated land assessments have forced millions of lower-and middle-income people and elderly out of their homes.
The fact that bankers now control national monetary systems in their entirety, under laws where money is introduced only through lending at interest, has resulted in a massive debt pyramid that is teetering on collapse. This "monetarist" system was pioneered by Rockefeller- family funded economists at the University of Chicago. The rub is that when the pyramid comes down and everyone goes bankrupt the banks which have been creating money "out of thin air" will then be able to seize valuable assets for pennies on the dollar, as J.P. Morgan Chase is preparing to do with the businesses owned by Carlyle Capital. Meaningful regulation of the financial industry has been abandoned by government, and any politician that stands in the way, such as Eliot Spitzer, is destroyed.
The total tax burden on Americans from federal, state, and local governments now exceeds forty percent of income and is rising. Today, with a recession starting, the Democratic-controlled Congress, while supporting the minuscule "stimulus" rebate, is hypocritically raising taxes further, even for middle-income earners. Back taxes, along with student loans, can no longer be eliminated by bankruptcy protection.
Gasoline prices are soaring even as companies like Exxon-Mobil are recording record profits. Other commodity prices are going up steadily, including food prices, with some countries starting to experience near-famine conditions. 40 million people in America are officially classified as "food insecure."
Corporate control of water and mineral resources has removed much of what is available from the public commons, and the deregulation of energy production has led to huge increases in the costs of electricity in many areas.
The destruction of family farming in the U.S. by NAFTA (along with family farming in Mexico and Canada) has been mirrored by policies toward other nations on the part of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank. Around the world, due to pressure from the "Washington consensus," local food self-sufficiency has been replaced by raising of crops primarily for export. Migration off the land has fed the population of huge slums around the cities of underdeveloped countries.
Since the 1980s the U.S. has been fighting wars throughout the world either directly or by proxy. The former Yugoslavia was dismembered by NATO. Under cover of 9/11 and by utilizing off-the-shelf plans, the U.S. is now engaged in the military conquest and permanent military occupation of the Middle East. A worldwide encirclement of Russia and China by U.S. and NATO forces is underway, and a new push to militarize space has begun. The Western powers are clearly preparing for at least the possibility of another world war.
The expansion of the U.S. military empire abroad is mirrored by the creation of a totalitarian system of surveillance at home, whereby the activities of private citizens are spied upon and tracked by technology and systems which have been put into place under the heading of the "War on Terror." Human microchip implants for tracking purposes are starting to be used. The military-industrial complex has become the nation's largest and most successful industry with tens of thousands of planners engaged in devising new and better ways, both overt and covert, to destroy both foreign and domestic "enemies."
Meanwhile, the U.S. has the largest prison population of any country on earth. Plus everyday life for millions of people is a crushing burden of government, insurance, and financial fees, charges, and paperwork. And the simplest business transactions are burdened by rake-offs for legions of accountants, lawyers, bureaucrats, brokers, speculators, and middlemen.
Finally, the deteriorating conditions of everyday life have given rise to an extraordinary level of stress-related disease, as well as epidemic alcohol and drug addiction. Governments themselves around the world engage in drug trafficking. Instead of working to lower stress levels, public policy is skewed in favor of an enormous prescription drug industry that grows rich off the declining level of health through treatment of symptoms rather than causes. Many of these heavily-advertised medications themselves have devastating side- effects.
This list should at least give us enough to go on in order to ask a hard question. Assuming again that all these things are parts of the elitist plan which Mr. Rockefeller boasts to have been developing, isn't it a little strange that the means which have been selected to achieve "peace and prosperity for the whole of humanity" involve so much violence, deception, oppression, exploitation, graft, and theft?
In fact it looks to me as though "our plan for the world" is one that is based on genocide, world war, police control of populations, and seizure of the world's resources by the financial elite and their puppet politicians and military forces.
In particular, could there be a better way to accomplish all this than what appears to be a concentrated plan to remove from people everywhere in the world the ability to raise their own food? After all, genocide by starvation may be slow, but it is very effective. Especially when it can be blamed on "market forces."
And can it be that the "us" which is doing all these things, including the great David Rockefeller himself, are just criminals who have somehow taken over the seats of power? If so, they are criminals who have done everything they can to watch their backs and cover their tracks, including a chokehold over the educational system and the monopolistic mainstream media.
One thing is certain: The voters of America have never knowingly agreed to any of this.

The Overthrow Of The
American Republic - Part 38
The Breakaway States In America
by Sherman H. Skolnick
8-11-3
There are examples throughout history of the making of Empires and the breaking up of the same.
How did a small group of islands take over sizeable land and treasure all over the world? Simple. The British are the leading experts on studying the ways of other peoples and other places. They have for centuries figured out the schemes to grab what they want by turning groups against one another. India and China are examples. South Africa another case to consider.
As discussed in this website series, the British have vowed to take back the land called America, reverting the inhabitants to being mere subjects of the Monarchy in Britain, and the continent to being mere colonies of the Crown. They failed in fomenting the bloody American Civil War, also known as the War Between the States, to turn historic trends against each other. The dirty trick included instigating states to breakaway from the central government, forming the Confederacy, yet based on natural hatred between the industrial North and the slave-agricultural South.
And the British during World War One seized portions of the failing Turkish Ottoman Empire, which included portions of the Mid-East, such as now called Iraq. Like in the attempt to wreck the American Empire, the British by the 1930s had to abandon Iraq and later were involved in controlling the Peacock Throne, Persia, Iran.
By the late 1980s, through their secret political police, the U.S. was well along to breaking up the Soviet Empire, previously known as the Czarist Russian Empire. A super secret unit of the U.S. Treasury, in combination with the American CIA, produced a superior quality counterfeit Soviet paper currency, the ruble. Also used, in part, was a flood of superior quality countefeit U.S. paper currency, that is, Federal Reserve Notes, masquerading as the "U.S. Dollar".
The bogus paper money was produced by a team of world-class engravers, known in the counterfeit trade as "master cutters". [Discussed earlier in this series.] The details became known in that Daddy Bush, as President together with the CIA and the Treasury, failed to pay the counterfeiters. A little-known federal court case deals with the hang-up. The counterfeiters demanded absolute proof that they would be paid the huge, promised fees in valid, not bogus, money.
So the Moscow government was toppled the classic way, with being financially undermined with super-duper fake money.
The result? The breakaway provinces of what was previously the Soviet Empire. The Russians with great military means but suffering huge casualties, have been seeking to punish some of these breakaway pieces of their vast land, treasures, minerals, and such.
The Bush Crime Family, jointly with Bill and Hillary Clinton as cohorts, have not given up on pro-British diabolical methods to divide up the States, not OF AMERICA, but IN AMERICA. As we have shown, the Bushies have a One Hundred Billion Dollar joint account with the Queen of England, in her private enterprise, Coutts Bank London. [Related documents are in our website series "Greenspan Aids and Bribes Bush"; copies of the One Hundred Billion Dollar joint account have been circulated by us, and an authenticated copy is part of the website of a radio talk show which has me on from time to time,
The One Hundred Billion Dollar joint account, the Bushies/the Queen, is made up from private partnership funds of Daddy Bush and Saddam Hussein, a creation of the American CIA. [Little-known federal case in Chicago that dealt with this, where I was the only journalist covering it, is dealt with in detail in our website story "The Secrets of Timothy McVeigh".]
In its simplest form, Enron and Arthur Andersen accounting, were dirty tricks of the American CIA, in with Carylyle Group, the Bush Crime Family, as run in part by former top British government officials. Enron officials reportedly arranged to falsify out-of-state electric transmissions to California. Thus created, was a fraudulent shortage of electric power in California right before and right after the alleged presidential "election" of 2000. The California authorities, fighting "brown-outs" and actual "black-outs", had to pay as much as ten times the usual rate for electric power transmission from the grid.
To deal with an almost impossible monstrous deficit, California authorities have quietly been exploring avenues of rescue. They have secretly explored the idea of California becoming a breakaway STATE IN AMERICA. Some believe this is not quite the same as the states that brokeaway, instigated by the British, to form the Confederacy.
For this purpose, to have funds to pay their expenses, the California State authorities are considering to blockade California funds being sent to the Central Government in Washington, D.C., as "federal taxes", income taxes, withholding taxes, and other federal fees and expenses. The gathering emergency situation would justify such an action. BUT, how can it be carried out? The State authorities can freeze accounts in banks located in California, about to transmit federal tax funds to the Internal Revenue Service and the U.S. Treasury. The largest bank chain in California has been Bank of America, and its holding firm, Bank America. Once headquartered in San Francisco, they now have their headquarters in North Carolina. By the way, some deem them already insolvent because of horrendous gambling by them in gold and oil derivatives, speculators' hocus-pocus, in the trillions of dollars jointly with J.P. Morgan Chase.
Another groups of banks operating in California is Wells Fargo, a major function of which is to funnel covert CIA funds for operations in Asia and the Pacific Basin. Some contend major Wells Fargo stockholder, Warren Buffet, actually has his so-called "fortune" secretly based on CIA operations in illicit transactions, such as dope. Most every bank located in California has as major owners, the huge Japanese mafia, the Yakuza. [Visit our website series on the Yakuza.]
In anticipation of this, the Bush White House has formulated several plans. [1] Scheme Number One. Before the California Governor Recall Movement got so heated up, the Rasputin of the White House, the sinister Karl Rove, worked an apparent deal with Arnold Schwarzenegger to somehow push him in as the new California Governor. The weight-lifting steroid-using movie star is perfect. The Bush Family, as documented beyond challenge, helped install Adolf Hitler. [Such as "The Unauthorized Biography of George Bush", published in 1992, authors Webster Griffin Tarpley and Anton Chaitkin.Some websites have the entire book.Use a search engine.]
Arnold has a suitable Pro-Nazi background, and marrying Maria Shriver, whose father married into the Kennedy Family, is in with a group whose patriarch, Joseph P. Kennedy, was Pro-Hitler while U.S.Ambassador to London up to 1940.
Arnold's father, in Austria, was reportedly an official of the Nazi Party. In the 1980s, Arnold actively promoted the election to a top post in Austria of Kurt Waldheim. The former U.N. chief Waldheim had carefully concealed that in World War Two, he was part of an elite unit in the Nazi military committing atrocities against Jews and others in the Balkans.
[2] Scheme Number Two.To counter this or actually to take advantage of the situation of emergency, the occupant and resident of the White House has planned either to nationalize the California State National Guard, or to call up U.S. Military Reservists. What is the justification?
The U.S. Constitution, Article IV, Section 4 provides:
"The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Exectutive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence."
[Cynics jointly with know-nothings, seeing the old-time language using capital letters of the Constitution, would prefer the ludicrous version that Bush could install a GOP form of government, that is a REPUBLICAN FORM OF GOVERNMENT. Ha, ha.]
This purportedly empowers the occupant and resident of the White House, assuming he still retain his powers as purported Commander-in-Chief, to send in troops to deal with a version of uprising against the Central Government. In an exclusive story in our Middle-Finger News series, we raise the apparent issue that key forces within the U.S. Military and elsewhere in the Central Government, have quietly taken away the "football" from George W. Bush, that is, the suitcase by Marine Guard carrying the nuclear codes. A week before he was forced to resign facing Impeachment, Nixon had the "football" taken away from him by Nixon White House Chief of Staff, General Alexander Haig, as the General was ordered by his Jesuit relative.
I first raised related issues a few days after the alleged presidential "election" in the year 2000. Visit our website earlier story, "The Breakaway States IN AMERICA". Also as to dealing with an emergency visit our 2/5/1 item "The American Troika".
Is the situation in California made-to-order for the Bush Crime Family, as instigated by the British Crown, to cancel the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights? Is it because we ae facing terrible military disasters in Iraq and Afghanistan? Is it because the real facts of 9-11 are about to become more well known, that the Arabs were NOT directly involved, but that it was a bloody scheme, to sacrifice ordinary Americans to instigate a war. See the book with the documents, that came out right before 9-11, "Body of Secrets" by James Bamford, detailing the crazies in the Joint Chiefs of Staff and their plan, Northwoods Project, to instigate a war against Cuba. It reads much like 9-11.
Other bankrupt states in the Southwest are quietly considering the plan of becoming Breakaway STATES IN AMERICA, including Arizona, Colorado, Orgeon, and the State of Washington.

Wall of Silence: Zionists Foment Race War in Germany, Part 2
By Mike James in Germany – 10 April 2008
Readers of this site learned of an arson attack on a Turkish dwelling in Backnang, Germany, last 29 March, which ostensibly evidenced a “Neo-Nazi” operation. It was reported by an hysterical Zionist media as yet further testimony to the ineradicable evil of the German people, yet proven revelations that the perpetrators were of Jewish origin have been squashed by a paranoid and treasonous German government.
The reverse swastikas scrawled by the attackers.
On 31 March, I wrote to over 300 editors of Germany’s best-selling national and regional newspapers, urging them to investigate the Yiddish rendition of the reverse swastika (a Jewish symbol) nervously scrawled by the attackers, and to focus on the very obvious Yiddish rendition of the word “jetst” mistakenly used in place of the German adverb “jetzt”, meaning “now”. The Zionist false flaggers had scrawled their blood libel threat, “Jetst alle sterben,” (“Now everyone dies”) in the hope of stoking a race war between good-hearted Germans and deceived Turks.
Following a series of post-enquiry telephone calls, only two editors were prepared to discuss the matter with me. The first admitted that he was in no position to speculate about my poignant observations. The second blew a cranial nerve and angrily told me to leave Germany on the next available flight.
The only sympathetic response I managed to solicit was provided by Klaus Hinderer, the Press Officer for the police in the Waiblingen district of Backnangen. In a friendly telephone conversation, he told me that forensic scientists had ruled out any German involvement in the attempted murder of 25 Turks, and confessed that the suspects were invariably of “foreign extraction”, although he did not go so far as to admit yet another Zionist false flag attack.
Consequently, the German media has quietly reported the official government line, yet relegating the story to well concealed paragraphs hidden on the third or fourth page of their respective Zionist whore publications. After all, the damage has been done and nothing should be allowed to detract from the perception that all Germans are murderous Nazis who must be cured of their congenital racism through subjection to 24/7 holocaust propaganda and other Jewish fables.
The German government routinely pressures investigating police authorities to avoid any detective work that may throw light on crimes committed by Jews or their Sayanim operatives. The effect on police morale has been dramatic. In the summer of 2007, Charlotte Knobloch, President of the parasitic German Council of Jews in Germany, attacked the German Police Federation for not taking seriously graffiti attacks on Jewish Synagogues and cemeteries. The police, quite rightly, countered that their incentive to undertake such time-wasting investigations was somewhat mitigated by increasing evidence that Jews themselves were responsible for such attacks in a mendaciously childish attempt to garner public sympathy.
In the latest twist of ingenuous disinformation, Jewish handwriting experts have now suggested that the Yiddish word “jetst” now resembles the word “Deutsch”. Yet no one familiar with the German language can quite explain why anyone would write, “Deutsche alle sterben,” (“Germans all die”) and then attempt to murder 25 Turks, among other foreign nationals. Jewish logic clearly surpasses the realm of the Twilight Zone. Yet once again, the prostitutes who call themselves “journalists” bow dutifully to the Shining Ones, basking in the glow of heavenly light emitting from their hairy nether regions.
The Backnang incident, thanks to the nauseating cowardice of one of the most heavily self-censoring journalistic fraternities in the world, has now disappeared from the mainstream media as a story worth pursuing. Much to the chagrin of the Jewish lobby, the police were unwilling to play the game expected of them in framing witless skinheads for a crime they did not commit, as was previously the case in similar incidents in Mölln and Solingen.
In my 16 years as a journalist (now semi-retired) working in Germany, I have finally come to the conclusion that the German government and their Jewish puppet masters are waging a venomous psychological war of attrition against one of the finest and most virtuous races that has ever walked the face of this earth. The reason is simple. The Jews and their Zionist financiers are planning nothing less than the complete destruction of the German nation. With starvation welfare benefits amounting to just 2.40 euros a day for unemployed young Germans who are unable to find work offered by exploitative Zionist corporations, and with self-employed patriots blacklisted as anti-Semites and denied contracts by means of scurrilous telephone whispering campaigns, every five minutes sees one German leave his homeland in search of a better life abroad.
In real terms, such a deliberate pogrom directed by Jews and treasonous Judeo-Masonic politicians in Berlin against native Germans represents a war crime. It is a war crime arguably justifiable from the point of view of the Jewish mindset in the light of the fact that Germany was denied a peace treaty at the end of the last war: a war instigated by World Jewry in its bid to smash one of the most vibrant and creative cultures the world has ever known.
The Geneva Convention provides the victims of war crimes with the means to defend themselves and bring their tormentors to justice. When the Federal Republic of Western Germany (the BRD) officially reunited with the East Germany (the DDR) in October 1990, the BRD, which was conceived merely as a temporary settlement agency as a conduit for illegal “reparations” and which never superseded the German Reich in terms of rightful, constitutional statehood, ceased to exist as a lawful entity. It was, and still is an illegal Jewish creation. I now intend to leverage the Geneva Convention against the Enemy of Mankind.
The German people have been conned and scammed big time, and the day has come for the truth to be known. Although I am an Englishman who has periodically agonized over notions of leaving this country to live in a nation where a man is truly free to speak his mind and tell the truth, I have finally committed myself to remaining on German soil to fight the traitors in Berlin and their evil Zionist puppet masters. For the German people themselves have simply surrendered their will to fight.
So be it. As a thinking human being who loves the German people, I simply have no other option but to defend those who are incapable of fighting for themselves.
That 298 newspaper editors saw fit, for fear of the Jews, to ignore my indisputable proof that Zionists are actively fomenting a race war that will all but destroy the German nation is something I have no choice but to interpret as an arrogant declaration of war against my person and the good and honest people of Germany. I am incensed and I shall settle for nothing less than justice and revenge, and I intend to call for application of the death penalty, which shall apply in equal measure to journalists who work as STASI agents for their Zionist paymasters in Berlin and Tel Aviv.
As anyone working for MI6, the BND or the German Federal Press Office knows from past experience, when Michael James goes to war, he wins every time. Simply check the record, my friends. For as a sole, freelance fighter, if there is one thing I do not fear, it is death.
I now give notice to the European Union, the illegal BRD-German government and their parasitic friends who work for the Israel lobby in promoting their blood libel “holocaust” religion of lies that they now find themselves in a state of war with an individual of few resources and absolutely no allies: a frail, middle-aged man armed only with the will and determination to destroy their evil stranglehold on the German people.
Fighting words indeed, and such that will leave no countenance untouched by a wry smile and a quizzical wink. But enjoy your mirth while you draw your breath by the grace of God, and mark the days on your calendar. Mark them well, my treacherous friends. And mark them in red.
They are severely numbered.
Mike James, an Englishman, is a former freelance journalist resident in Germany since 1992 with additional long-haul stays in East Africa, Poland and Switzerland.

BNP seeks to bury antisemitism and gain Jewish votes in Islamophobic campaign
Mathew Taylor – The Guardian April 10, 2008
The far right British National party is trying to shed its antisemitic past as part of a drive to pick up votes among London's Jewish community. The party, which could get its first seat on the London assembly if voter turnout is low next month, is campaigning in Jewish areas across the capital and attempting to play on what it sees as historical enmity between the Jewish and Muslim communities.
In one leaflet, handed out in north London last weekend, the party's only Jewish councillor, Pat Richardson, is quoted along with a picture of young Muslims holding a placard reading: "Butcher those who mock Islam."
"I'm in the BNP because no one else speaks out against the Islamification of our country," said Richardson. "Being Jewish only adds to my concern about this aggressive creed that also threatens our secular values and Christian tradition."
The move has sparked a furious reaction among Jewish organisations who say the BNP is still antisemitic and racist.
The Board of Deputies, the London Jewish Forum and the Community Security Trust have launched a campaign with other ethnic minority and cultural groups and the Hope Not Hate campaign to combat the BNP threat.
Ruth Smeeth, of the Community Security Trust, said: "The BNP website is now one of the most Zionist on the web - it goes further than any of the mainstream parties in its support of Israel and at the same time demonises Islam and the Muslim world. They are actively campaigning in Jewish communities, particularly in London, making a lot of their one Jewish councillor, their support of Israel and attacking Muslims. It is a poisonous campaign but it shows a growing electoral sophistication."
The editor of BNP newspaper Freedom, Martin Wingfield, wrote on his blog recently: "There has been a growing dialogue between senior members of the Jewish community and the BNP and today there are an increasing number of Jews campaigning for the BNP and feeling very comfortable with their political choice."
Henry Grunwald, president of the Board of Deputies, said the anti-BNP campaign which is being run in conjunction with Operation Black Vote and Sikh and Hindu organisations aimed to underline the antisemitic nature of the BNP and ensure that all voters turned out on May 1 to see off the threat posed by the far right.
"Whatever other sources of anti-semitism there are, we are still very concerned by the threat that comes from the far right," said Grunwald. "Despite all its attempts to portray itself differently we know it is still the same antisemitic, racist party it always was." He added: "We, in the Jewish community, will not tolerate any form of racism or prejudice ... I would be thoroughly ashamed if any member of the Jewish community voted for them."
The BNP's drive to abandon its anti-semitism and cash in on what it perceives to be the growth in Islamophobia was outlined in an essay by party leader Nick Griffin, who once said of the Holocaust: "I have reached the conclusion that the 'extermination' tale is a mixture of Allied wartime propaganda, extremely profitable lie, and latter-day witch-hysteria." In his essay last year he wrote: "It stands to reason that adopting an 'Islamophobic' position that appeals to large numbers of ordinary people - including un-nudged journalists - is going to produce on average much better media coverage than siding with Iran and banging on about 'Jewish power', which is guaranteed to raise hackles of virtually every single journalist in the western world."
Nick Lowles, from the anti-fascist organisation Searchlight, which is mobilising voters across the country through its Hope Not Hate campaign, said the tactic of appealing to different ethnic and cultural groups ticked several boxes for the BNP. "It allows them to portray themselves as being non-racist at the same time as legitimising their vicious and sustained attacks on the UK's Muslim communities."

U.N. Official Calls for Study Of Neocons' Role in 9/11
Eli Lake – N.Y. Sun April 10, 2008
A new U.N. Human Rights Council official assigned to monitor Israel is calling for an official commission to study the role neoconservatives may have played in the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
On March 26, Richard Falk, Milbank professor of international law emeritus at Princeton University, was named by unanimous vote to a newly created position to report on human rights in the conflict between Israel and the Palestinian Arabs. While Mr. Falk's specialty is human rights and international law, since the attacks in 2001, he has devoted some of his time to challenging what he calls the "9-11 official version."
On March 24 in an interview with a radio host and former University of Wisconsin instructor, Kevin Barrett, Mr. Falk said, "It is possibly true that especially the neoconservatives thought there was a situation in the country and in the world where something had to happen to wake up the American people. Whether they are innocent about the contention that they made that something happen or not, I don't think we can answer definitively at this point. All we can say is there is a lot of grounds for suspicion, there should be an official investigation of the sort the 9/11 commission did not engage in and that the failure to do these things is cheating the American people and in some sense the people of the world of a greater confidence in what really happened than they presently possess."
Mr. Barrett, who is the co-founder of the Muslim-Jewish-Christian Alliance for 9/11 Truth, said in an interview yesterday of Mr. Falk, "I would put him on a list of scholars who are sympathetic to the 9/11 truth movement."
He added, "Unlike most public intellectuals today, he is both honest and very, very knowledgeable in that he understands the probable reality of 9/11. He understands that the evidence that it was a false flag operation is very strong."
The narrative that the attacks from 2001 were a "false flag" operation is a recurring theme in the literature challenging the consensus that 19 Al Qaeda hijackers flew commercial jets into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. False flag refers to espionage or covert actions taken by one government made to seem like the work of another. The false flag thesis has it that the Bush administration is somehow responsible for the September 11 attacks as a pretext for the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Mr. Falk yesterday did not return e-mails and phone calls asking for a comment. But in 2004 he wrote the foreword to the book "The New Pearl Harbor," by David Ray Griffin. Mr. Griffin has posited that such an inside job is the likely explanation for the attacks.
In the preface, Mr. Falk writes, "There have been questions raised here and there and allegations of official complicity made almost from the day of the attacks, especially in Europe, but no one until Griffin has had the patience, the fortitude, the courage, and the intelligence to put the pieces together in a single coherent account."
When asked for a comment about the appointment of Mr. Falk, a former American ambassador to the United Nations, John Bolton said, "This is exactly why we voted against the new human rights council." A spokesman for the American embassy at the United Nations offered no comment yesterday when asked.
A spokeswoman at the United Nations, Nancy Groves, yesterday also declined to comment. "I would not make a comment on how the member states vote on appointments. It is their council, they make their decisions," she said.
Mr. Falk's selection to the post as rapporteur has already prompted the government of Israel formally to request that Mr. Falk not be sent to their country. The Israeli press has reported that he may even be barred from entering the country.
The deputy permanent representative of Israel to the United Nations in New York, Daniel Carmon said, "We are asking the U.N. not to send him. We cannot agree to Mr. Falk's entrance into Israel in his capacity as the rapporteur."
One reason the Israelis are concerned about his appointment is that Mr. Falk has compared Israel's treatment of Palestinian Arabs to the Nazi treatment of Jews in the holocaust. In an April 8 BBC interview, Mr. Falk said he stood by the Israel-Nazi comparison.
The national director of the Anti-Defamation League, Abraham Foxman, issued a statement yesterday saying, "This was clearly a singularly inappropriate choice for this position. Falk's startling record of anti-Israel prejudice should have been enough to preclude him from a position where an unbiased observer is needed to report on the status of human rights in the territories."
In a February 16, 1979, op-ed for the New York Times, Mr. Falk praised Ayatollah Khomeini and bemoaned his ill treatment in the American press. He wrote, "The depiction of him as fanatical, reactionary and the bearer of crude prejudices seems certainly and happily false."Nearly nine months later, student followers of Khomeini invaded the American embassy in Tehran and held 52 diplomats hostage for the following 444 days.

The Jewish Conquest of America
by Bob Finch – Iraq War.ru April 10, 2008
America may have lost the war against vietnam but it has never been invaded or conquered by external forces since its declaration of independence. But since the second world war and, in particular the establishment of the terrorist state refered to as Israel, it has been conquered from within. Wasps no longer have any significant control over american politics or its foreign policies
The israelis in america control the republican party and the democratic party and even the green party. They control the left wing of american politics (noam chomsky, stephen zunes) almost as much as they control the extreme right wing. They control congress. Jack abramoff apparently had in the region of 60 members of congress on his payroll. And these were not insignificant members of congress either since he funded tom delay who provided dick cheney’s power base. This israeli was not only funding american goys but terrorists in the jews-only state. And this is the political influence of just one jewish billionaire. When aipac and all the other jewish lobbying groups in america, whose prime loyalties are to the jews-only state in palestine, are taken into consideration, the jews are financing virtually all members of congress. These days when american politicians talk about the need to defend their country from external threats what they mean is any challenge to the jews-only state in palestine.
The israelis control vast slabs of the bush administration. "The neoconservatives … control the Office of the President, the Office of the Vice President, the Department of State, the Department of Defense, and the police-state apparatus known as "Homeland Security." (Paul Craig Roberts ‘Outfoxed by bin Laden’). Wayne madsen has suggested they’re aiming to take control of the super secret National Security Agency (NSA) - America's premier electronic surveillance body. "What has some NSA officials worried is that with pro-Israeli neocons now engrained within the CIA, Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), State Department, and National Security Council, NSA is ripe for penetration by Israeli intelligence. With outside contractors now permeating NSA and a major Israeli espionage operation being discovered inside the Pentagon, once again there is a fear within NSA that foreign intelligence services such as the Mossad could make another attempt to penetrate America's virtual "Fort Knox" of intelligence treasures and secrets." (Wayne Madsen ‘The neocon power grab at NSA and an attempt to stifle the press’).
Israelis own and control the american media. They compose the largest group of billionaires in america who fund a vast network of political research organizations which determine the views of america’s jewish owned media and america’s jewish funded politicians.
In 1950s america, as in many other western countries, there were taboos preventing people from talking about a range of social issues such as homosexuality, incest, male rape, etc, etc. These days nobody would think twice about discussing these issues. The only taboos in the western world these days have to do with jews. There is a taboo about jewish funding of political parties (in america and britain). There is a taboo against the influence of the jewish lobby on american politicians. There is a taboo about jewish attempts to take over the russian economic and political system. There is a taboo about the tribute payments that america makes to its jewish masters in the jews-only state in palestine. "The Congress, the Executive branch, state and local governments, and national and local media have all come under the influence of the Jewish "lobby’s" pro-Israel agenda to the point that none or few dare to criticize Israel or its US representatives." (James Petras ‘The meaning of war: A heterodox perspective’).
The israelis have even transformed christianity in america. There are now tens of millions of so-called christian zionists who have come to believe in the zionist god of vengeance rather than the christian god of forgiveness. They no longer live on a god given planet but focus solely on the god given land of palestine. The devotion of these dechristianized zionists to the sacred jewish land of palestine and jews-only state in palestine is such that one of them blurted out at a major conference the logical outcome of their beliefs. 'I love America,' Arthur said, her voice quivering with emotion. 'But if it came to a choice between Israel and America, I would stand with Israel.'" (Christian Zionist author, Kay Arthur of Precepts Ministries quoted in Justin Raimondo ‘Putting Israel First’).
There is not the slightest doubt that the american military is by far and away the most formidable military power in the world. But who controls that military is an entirely different matter. The american politicians who dictate military policy are not wasps but israelis - agents of the jews-only state in palestine. So, in effect the jews-only state controls american politicians who control the american military which wages war for the sake of jewish world domination.
There is no such thing as an american empire. America does not have an empire. On the contrary, america has become part of the jewish empire which dictates america’s domestic and foreign policies. The policies that america is pursuing in the middle east have nothing to do with america’s national interests – on the contrary, over the last four decades it has been forced to fight the wars on behalf of its jewish master. In the so-called yom kippur war of 1973 the americans were forced to back the jews-only state against the encircling arab armies which resulted in an arab oil boycott that pushed america and the world economy into a recession which lasted nearly a decade. If america had sided with the arabs it would have enjoyed an economic bonanza selling american goods to secular arab consumer societies. If the jews-only state did not exist there would have been peace and stability in the middle east which would have boosted global prosperity. Instead, america’s jewish masters have cost america vast economic losses, the losses of many american troops, and the enmity of the arab and islamic world. "The passionate attachment to Israel, the dual loyalty felt by many Americans -whereby Israel's interests are put on the same or higher level than U.S. interests - has come back to haunt the United States through the agency of a President willing to adopt the most extravagant dreams of right wing Israelis and pro-Israeli hawks. The result is that the full might of the world's only super power has been dragged into Israel's service despite the costs, and the dangers and the folly of such a policy. Attachment to Israel has come back to haunt America by enabling a decisive shift in U..S. policy away from helping to preserve the peace and security of the world and turning the U.S. into an aggressor nation, just as Israel has been and continues to be."
(Ronald Bleier ‘Invading Iraq: Converging u.s. and Israeli Agendas’).
Iran’s so-called acquisition of nuclear weapons is a non-issue. And yet the jewish empire has managed to coerce america, and thus the security council, into believing the utter fantasy that it is a dire threat to world peace which must be placed at the top of the global political agenda. Iran poses no military threat whatsoever to america, china, russia or europe and yet they have all made this issue their most important foreign policy. Watching america, china, russia, and europe, dancing to the paranoid fantasies of the jews-only state in palestine is proof of jewish world domination.
There may be those who argue that just because america implements the foreign policies of another state doesn’t mean to say that there isn’t an american empire which pursues american interests around the rest of the world. But this is not the case. America’s zionist foreign policy has drained american military resources so they cannot be used in other places around the world. The jews in american politics and their shabbat goy colleagues have become so focused on the middle east to protect the sacred judaic headquarters of the jewish empire that they have ignored, or been unable to combat, the rise of democratic forces in south america from where america imports a substantial amount of its oil. Why is american foreign policy and military intervention focussed almost solely on the middle east when countries on its own doorstep which provide it with vast amounts of oil are being allowed to drift out of american control?
America’s policies towards russia have been shaped for the last forty years by neocons originating from the office of the right wing democratic senator henry jackson. They managed to abolish nixon’s détente with russia which could have resulted in a vast, mutually beneficial, economic boom between the two countries. The neocons, however, didn’t want any american rapproachment with the russians because russia poses the danger of nuclear obliteration to the jews-only state in palestine. Once again, jewish interests predominated over american interests and americans carried out the orders of their jewish masters.
Israeli traitors control the american media, the republican and democratic parties, congress, the pentagon, the office of homeland security, the cia, the defence intelligence agency, the state department, the national security council, and the presidency. The american military is implementing the foreign policies of the jews-only state in palestine. There is nothing american left about america. Is it not true that, "The neoconservatives are the greatest threat America has ever faced .." (Paul Craig Roberts ‘Outfoxed by bin Laden’). The battle for american independence was lost before most americans realized they were under attack. America is now the biggest and most powerful colony in the jewish empire. "The conventional wisdom which perceives world imperial powers dictating policy to lesser regional powers clearly fails to deal with the US Middle East Wars. The reason why this common sense notion is inadequate is because it fails to deal with a series of unique (at least in modern history) phenomena affecting the policy-making structure of the US Empire – the active role of a privileged and influential minority deeply embedded in the decision-making structure and whose primary loyalty is to another state. It is as if the State of Israel has ‘colonized’ the main spheres of political power in the imperial state. These ‘colons’ however are not exactly transplants or emigrants from their "mother country". Rather they have mostly grown up and have been educated in the imperial center, they have pursued lucrative careers in the US and have, in most instances, been strong supporters of US imperial expansion and militarism. They have risen to and influenced the highest spheres of political power. They have not been discriminated against, nor have they suffered any economic, social or political exclusion. They have not been marginalized - they are integrated in the centers of power. Yet they have set themselves apart from the rest of the US citizens and conceive of themselves as having a special mission - of being first Jews who unconditionally support the State of Israel and all of its international projections of power. How can we explain this irrational embrace of a militarist state by a set of individuals who only vicariously share its life and destiny?" (James Petras ‘The meaning of war: A heterodox perspective’).
American slaves need to fight back against the jewish empire rather than pretending they have an empire that acts in their name. They should see the palestinians as the leaders in the fight against the world’s jewish oppressors. "The fact leftists bust a gut to ignore -is that The Big Corporations would be far, far better off if the US switched sides completely, and supported the Palestinians to the hilt. It is difficult to argue this just because it is so screamingly obvious. The Big Corporations want oil: Israel pisses off the oil producers, bigtime. Israel does not, contrary to leftist orthodoxy, help the US control the oil." (Michael Neumann ‘A Study in Dogma: The Palestinians and the Party Line’).
Americans need to liberate themselves before they start helping to liberate the rest of the world, "Regardless of the particular causes or principles that most move us, that are closest to our hearts, no issue is of greater urgency than breaking the Jewish-Zionist grip on American political, social and cultural life. As long as this power remains entrenched, there will be no end to the systematic Jewish distortion of history and current affairs, the Jewish-Zionist domination of the US political system, Zionist oppression of Palestinians, the bloody conflict between Jews and non-Jews in the Middle East, and the Israeli threat to peace." (Mark Weber ‘The Challenge of Jewish-Zionist Power in an Era of Global Struggle’); "As we draw closer to a major confrontation with Iran and Israeli officials set short-term deadlines for igniting a Middle East conflagration, it seems that we are doomed to learn from future catastrophic losses that Americans must organize to defeat political lobbies based on overseas allegiances." (James Petras ‘Israel's War Deadline: Iran in the Crosshairs’).

Calls for Genocide of Palestinians
Saleh Al-Naami – Al-Ahram Weekly via uruknet.info April 10, 2008
"All of the Palestinians must be killed; men, women, infants, and even their beasts." This was the religious opinion issued one week ago by Rabbi Yisrael Rosen, director of the Tsomet Institute, a long-established religious institute attended by students and soldiers in the Israeli settlements of the West Bank. In an article published by numerous religious Israeli newspapers two weeks ago and run by the liberal Haaretz on 26 March, Rosen asserted that there is evidence in the Torah to justify this stand. Rosen, an authority able to issue religious opinions for Jews, wrote that Palestinians are like the nation of Amalekites that attacked the Israelite tribes on their way to Jerusalem after they had fled from Egypt under the leadership of Moses. He wrote that the Lord sent down in the Torah a ruling that allowed the Jews to kill the Amalekites, and that this ruling is known in Jewish jurisprudence.
Rosen's article, which created a lot of noise in Israel, included the text of the ruling in the Torah: "Annihilate the Amalekites from the beginning to the end. Kill them and wrest them from their possessions. Show them no mercy. Kill continuously, one after the other. Leave no child, plant, or tree. Kill their beasts, from camels to donkeys." Rosen adds that the Amalekites are not a particular race or religion, but rather all those who hate the Jews for religious or national motives. Rosen goes as far as saying that the "Amalekites will remain as long as there are Jews. In every age Amalekites will surface from other races to attack the Jews, and thus the war against them must be global." He urges application of the "Amalekites ruling" and says that the Jews must undertake to implement it in all eras because it is a "divine commandment".
Rosen does not hesitate to define the "Amalekites of this age" as the Palestinians. He writes, "those who kill students as they recite the Torah, and fire missiles on the city of Siderot, spread terror in the hearts of men and women. Those who dance over blood are the Amalekites, and we must respond with counter-hatred. We must uproot any trace of humanitarianism in dealing with them so that we emerge victorious."
The true outrage is that most of those authorised to issue Jewish religious opinions support the view of Rabbi Rosen, as confirmed by Haaretz newspaper. At the head of those supporting his opinion is Rabbi Mordechai Eliyahu, the leading religious authority in Israel's religious national current, and former chief Eastern rabbi for Israel. Rosen's opinion also has the support of Rabbi Dov Lior, president of the Council of Rabbis of Judea and Samaria (the West Bank), and Rabbi Shmuel Eliyahu, the chief rabbi of Safed and a candidate for the post of chief rabbi of Israel. A number of political leaders in Israel have also shown enthusiasm for the opinion, including Ori Lubiansky, head of the Jerusalem municipality.
There is no dispute among observers in Israel that the shooting in Jerusalem three weeks ago that killed eight Jewish students in a religious school was pivotal for Jewish authorities issuing religious opinions of a racist, hateful nature. The day following the Jerusalem incident, a number of rabbis led by Daniel Satobsky issued a religious opinion calling on Jewish youth and "all those who believe in the Torah" to take revenge on the Palestinians as hastily as possible. A week following the operation, a group of leading rabbis issued an unprecedented religious opinion permitting the Israeli army to bomb Palestinian civilian areas. The opinion is issued by the "Association of Rabbis of the Land of Israel" and states that Jewish religious law permits the bombing of Palestinian civilian residential areas if they are a source of attacks on Jewish residential areas. It reads, "when the residents of cities bordering settlements and Jewish centres fire shells at Jewish settlements with the aim of death and destruction, the Torah permits for shells to be fired on the sources of firing even if civilian residents are present there."
The opinion adds that sometimes it is necessary to respond with shelling to sources of fire immediately, without granting the Palestinian public prior warning. A week ago, Rabbi Eliyahu Kinvinsky, the second most senior authority in the Orthodox religious current, issued a religious opinion prohibiting the employment of Arabs, particularly in religious schools. This religious opinion followed another that had been issued by Rabbi Lior prohibiting the employment of Arabs and the renting of residential apartments to them in Jewish neighbourhoods. In order to provide a climate that allows Jewish extremist organisations to continue attacking Palestinian citizens, Rabbi Israel Ariel, one of the most prominent rabbis in the West Bank settlement complex, recently issued a religious opinion prohibiting religious Jews involved in attacks against Palestinians to appear before Israeli civil courts. According to this opinion, they must instead demand to appear before Torah courts that rule by Jewish religious law.
Haaretz newspaper noted that what Rabbi Ariel was trying to achieve through this religious opinion has in fact already taken place. The first instance of such a court in Kfar Saba ordered the release of a young Jewish woman called Tsevia Teshrael who attacked a Palestinian farmer in the middle of the West Bank. And there are Jewish religious authorities that glorify killing and praise terrorists, such as Rabbi Yitzhaq Ginsburg, a top rabbi in Israel who published a book entitled Baruch the Hero in memoriam of Baruch Goldstein, who committed the Ibrahimi Mosque massacre in 1994 when he opened fire and killed 29 Palestinians as they were performing the dawn prayer in Hebron in the southern West Bank. Ginsburg considers his act "honourable and glorious".
The danger of these religious opinions lies in the fact that the religious authorities issuing them have wide respect among religious Jewish youth. And while only 28 per cent of Israel's population is religious, more than 50 per cent of Israelis define themselves as conservative and grant major significance to opinions issued by Jewish religious authorities. According to a study conducted by the Social Sciences Department of Bar Elon University, more than 90 per cent of those who identify as religious believe that if state laws and government orders are incongruous with the content of religious opinions issued by rabbis, they must overlook the former and act in accordance with the latter.
What grants the racist religious opinions a deeper and far-reaching impact is the fact that for the last decade followers of the Zionist religious current, who form nearly 10 per cent of the population, have been seeking to take control of the army and security institutions. They are doing so through volunteering for service in special combat units. The spokesperson's office in the Israeli army says that although the percentage of followers of this current is low in the state's demographic makeup, they form more than 50 per cent of the officers in the Israeli army and more than 60 per cent of its special unit commanders. According to an opinion poll of religious officers and soldiers supervised by the Interdisciplinary Centre Herzliya and published last year, more than 95 per cent of religious soldiers and officers say that they will execute orders from the elected government and their leaders in the army only if they are in harmony with the religious opinions issued by leading rabbis and religious authorities.
Wasil Taha, Arab Knesset member from the Tajammu Party led by Azmi Bishara, says that these religious opinions lead to the committal of crimes. He mentions religious opinions issued by a number of rabbis in mid-1995 that led to the assassination of former Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin at that time. "If that's what happens when religious opinions urge attacks against Jewish leaders such as Rabin, what will the situation be like when they urge attacks against Palestinian leaders and the Palestinian public?" he asks. "We, as Arab leaders, have begun to feel a lack of security following this flood of religious opinions, and we realise that the matter requires a great deal of caution in our movements as we are certain that there are those who seek to implement these opinions," he told Al-Ahram Weekly.
Taha dismisses those who ask about the role of the government and Israeli political cadre in confronting these extremist religious opinions. "The ministers in the Israeli government and the Knesset members compete to incite against the Palestinian public and don't hesitate to threaten expulsion of the Palestinians who live on their land in Israel and carry Israeli citizenship outside of Israel's borders, just as former deputy premier Avigdor Lieberman and representative Evi Etam did," Taha said. He notes that Palestinian citizens within Israel have begun to take extreme precautionary measures since the issue of these religious opinions, including security measures around mosques and public institutions and informing officials of public demonstrations so that members of Jewish terrorist organisations can be prevented from attacking participants. Taha holds that the sectors of the Palestinian population most likely to be harmed by these religious opinions are those living in the various cities populated by both Jews and Palestinians, such as Haifa, Jaffa, Lod, Ramleh and Jerusalem.
Palestinian writer and researcher Abdul-Hakim Mufid, from the city Um Fahem, holds that the religious opinions of rabbis have gained major significance due to the harmony between official rhetoric and that of the rabbis. Mufid notes that official Israeli establishments have not tried to confront the "fascist" rhetoric expressed in these religious opinions even though they are capable of doing so. "Most of the rabbis who issue tyrannical religious opinions are official employees in state institutions and receive salaries from them. And the state has not held these rabbis accountable or sought to prohibit the issue of such opinions," he told the Weekly.
Mufid points out that when the official political institution is in a crisis, the Zionist consensus behind these religious opinions grows more intense, and offers as an example the religious opinions relied upon by Rabbi Meir Kahane in the early 1980s to justify his call to forcefully expel the Palestinians. Mufid adds that Israel in practice encourages all those who kill Palestinians, and points to the way that the Israeli government dealt with the recommendations of the Orr Commission that investigated the Israeli police's killing of 13 Palestinians with Israeli citizenship in October of 2000. The government closed the file even though the commission confirmed that the police had acted aggressively towards the Palestinian citizens. Mufid suggests that what makes the racist rhetoric the rabbis insist upon influential is the silence of leftist and liberal voices, and the lack of any direct mobilisation against it.

Former AL Gov. Don Siegelman Says Media Ignoring Details of His 'Electronically Stolen' 2002 Election
Has Given Story to 60 Minutes, Dan Abrams, LA Times, WaPo...All Have Failed to Report His Allegations While Covering Other Aspects of His Story...
Still paging Dan Abrams...
The following email comes from Mark Crispin Miller, NYU media professor, and author of the landmark election integrity book, FOOLED AGAIN.
It includes an email exchange from yesterday with the finally-free-on-bond former Democratic Governor of Alabama Don Siegelman, concerning his allegations that his 2002 election was electronically flipped. (A rarely seen video interview, featuring Siegelman in 2004 discussing details of what he believes happened, is at posted at end of this article.)
Yesterday I emailed Don Siegelman, as I had a few matters to discuss with him.
Here's the crucial part:
At 12:12 AM -0400 4/9/08, Mark Crispin Miller wrote:
The other, more important thing is this: As you may or may not know, the one aspect of your long ordeal that the press has stubbornly refused to mention--or, I think, even to perceive--is the theft of that election in 2002. Like you, I believe that that was crucial; but the press, quite typically, won't mention it. Frankly, I believe that they, and most leading Democrats, are in denial about it, as its implications are too frightening. Just as they've looked away from all the evidence of vast election fraud throughout Bush/Cheney's reign, therefore, they've also looked away from the subversion of that gubernatorial race in Alabama. And so that chapter of your story is unknown to most Americans, even those who've lately heard the rest of it.
Here is his reply:
Mark, I mention the vote stealing in every interview. 60 Minutes cut it out. Don Abrams didn't want to go there either. I have told the story to the Washington Post and LA Times.
he hook is Rove's fingerprints are found there too. First, in that Rove's friend Jack Abramoff hires Dan Gans,was in charge of " electronic ballot security" in Baldwin County, Alabama,where the votes were stolen. Gans, working for the Alexander Strategies Group, claims credit for the win on his website, which he then takes down when Abramoff gets arrested. The second is Rove's business partner, Kitty Mc Cullough (a/k/a Kelly Kimbrough) is given credit for the electronic vote switch by the state Republican Party.
I asked Don if I could send that out, and he said yes ("Have at it"). So now I offer it to you. If you're an election reform activist, please start your (search) engines. If you're a journalist, please do your job. And if you're just another patriotic citizen, please do whatever you can do to get the press, and/or the Democratic Party, to pay heed.
For starters, how about asking "60 Minutes" why they "cut it out," and asking Dan Abrams why he "didn't want to go there either"? And since Don also told the Washington Post and LA Times about the theft of that election, how about we ask them, too?
This stuff will just keep on happening, until we make it dangerous to do such things.
MCM
Here's Siegelman's 2004 interview, in which he offers details about the 2002 election flip, and alleges: "This election was stolen...There is no other kind, or sugar-coated way to say it."...
So, um, yeah...what's the holdup these media outlets have in reporting on this? This is a state Governor, for crying out loud, making these allegations, about his own 2002 election. Isn't that newsworthy enough? Particularly given all the evidence to suggest he was later seriously railroaded, framed and sent to prison in AL by his opponents?
Oh, and then there's the fact that the DoJ --- in an unprecedented move --- ordered control of Alabama's elections to move from the Democratic SoS over to the Republican Governor's office (the same Republican Gov. that Siegelman accuses of stealing the '02 election) in 2006, as we discussed in some detail recently.
One would think Siegelman's allegations themselves --- just the fact that he's making them --- would be newsworthy. God forbid any of the corporate media folks he's spoken with go out and do any actual investigation on them.
Seriously.

These people are organized crime.
This is so overwhelming, yet the MSM ignores it. This is so much bigger than Watergate (which was horrible). The whole Bush administration is like a mud wrestling match --- enough dirt to go around on all topics.
Add in the whole torture memo, and assault on the constitution, and it is beyond even a dedicated conspiracy theorist's imagination.

Hey guys I wrote to the guy who wrote the fliping software read what I wrote below. Any way He needs our help and cash because he is running for Fl Senate seat His name is Clint Curtis any way read on...
Here is the source code. It is a reproduction of the prototype but it will still show functionally what the code did. Once finished into a full program it would then be installed on the voting machine (or if an outside hack - would replace the existing software).
You will need VB5 to play with it and Access 97 to open the database. You do not need access in order to have the program run. Once it is fully installed VB5 would not be needed either.

You would think some news organization could at least call Siegelman a conspiracy theorist to save their own butt while getting the story out there. Time is running out for the 2008 election.
Siegelman is just one more American hero who will be invisible until organizations like MoveOn, PFAW, ACLU, and all the other usual suspects STOP ignoring the most important story of our times. The danger of wholesale, undetectable election theft.
I'm thinking the DLC will be the first to help us out here. Bill Richardson could help too. He wrote an eloquent letter about democracy and ballots not too long ago that I delivered to my governors office.

If the media wants to ignore the hacking of elections, I would think a score of zero across the board for all candidates in the electronic vote tabulation results would get their attention.
And my understanding is you can't really do a recount on electronically submitted and tabulated votes, right? I'm curious: has any county or precinct implemented separate paper receipts/trails?

They've been stealing elections for 8+ years thru electronic voting machines. These things need to be BANNED immediately.
This is the real reason why politicians don't care at all about the overwhelming anger of the electorate. In other words, even the illusion of "democracy" is shattered.
Not to mention the media is completely bought off. The were involved in 9/11 and the coverup of said.

The NWO would have never been able to pull it off without media complicity. The evidence is all over the net. Specifically on Youtube. Check out "September Clues"

TomR, we vote on paper ballots here in San Diego, but recounts are unaffordable. Even if we could afford a recount, if the election officials don't want to allow one, we have to sue them and that can take years. But even if we got a recount and were able to prove with the paper ballots that the election was electronically stolen, only Congress itself can unseat a Member once they're sworn in, and they aren't very likely to do that. They also don't want to "go there" and they usually dismiss evidence of election fraud without looking at it.
But your first suggestion makes sense. If there was an election boycott they might try to pad the poll books with phony signatures to make it look as if as many people had voted as the machines produced "votes" for (that has been done), but it is much easier to prove the signatures are phony. Again, since the courts, the media, and Congress don't care, the proof is useless. They have the final say and we don't.
Think about it. Article 5, Section 1 of the Constitution says that Congress itself is the sole judge of the elections, returns, and qualification of its Members. Theoretically they could swear somebody in without an election even having been held, and then "judge" that the person had been elected. And only Congress can unseat a Member once they're sworn in. We cannot impeach or recall Members of Congress, we just have to wait for the next rigged election and try to vote them out. (Ha!)
With Presidential races it is even worse. Our Constitution does not allow us to vote directly for President or Vice-President. Supposedly we can vote for electors, but THEIR names are not on the ballot and many of them are appointed rather than elected. In Bush v. Gore 2000 the Supreme Court said that we have no federal Constitutional right to vote for electors, so it is up to the States. But even so, Congress can refuse to accept electoral college votes if it wants and the Supreme Court can still intervene, nullify an election, and install whomever they wish, as they did in 2000.
If elections could change anything, they'd be illegal. Don't vote --- it only encourages 'em.
