Oklahoma Recalls NAFTA Highway Bill
05-20-2008
IntelStrike
Dana Gabriel
The Oklahoma State Senate voted to recall a bill that would have further facilitated plans for the NAFTA Superhighway to run through the state. There were fears that parts of Bill 1507, which dealt with Foreign Trade Zones, were tied to the superhighway which is to extend from Mexico to Canada. There were also concerns that this would lead to private property seizures through eminent domain. This is already taking place in parts of rural Texas with the construction of the Trans Texas Corridor (TTC), which is to be the first leg of this superhighway infrastructure.
Some have argued that Bill 1507 would have allowed for the creation of foreign owned smart ports. This would have allowed for imported goods to pass through the U.S./Mexican border without going through customs until Oklahoma . This follows in the same line as other proposed inland ports, such as the one in Kansas City. The NAFTA Superhighway will be a borderless open transportation system that will further facilitate the flow of cheap goods from China. Oklahoma has already passed legislation to stop the TTC from coming through the state.
The NAFTA Superhighway is the necessary infrastructure needed for the creation of a North American Union. It will serve as a highway for cheap Chinese goods and cheap labor from Mexico and Latin America. It will untimely benefit multinational corporations, who view borders as barriers to trade and greater profits. Last year, Rep. Virgil Goode, R-Va., introduced a House resolution that stated congressional opposition to the construction of a superhighway or entry into North American Union.
The link from the Mexican border to Oklahoma is to be the highest priority, and has been branded the Trans Texas Corridor (TTC). If completed, it would encompass more than 4,000 miles. It is being financed by the Spanish company Cintra, who will lease and operate it as a toll road. It is set to have 1,200-foot corridors with separate lanes for passenger vehicles and large trucks, and room for future upgrades. Opposition to the TTC is growing, and for the second straight year, ranchers and other opponents marched on the Texas state capital in protest. Some might recall that in a blatant effort to try and stifle opposition, a company with close ties to Cintra purchased many local newspapers from towns that fall in the TTC’s path. The TTC is part of the NAFTA Superhighway, and is proof of further integration into a North American Union.
In January of this year, Texas Congressman and Republican Presidential candidate Ron Paul filed a bill in the House of Representatives to prevent the TTC from receiving federal dollars. He was also very concerned and wanted to prevent the loss of private land through eminent domain. The TTC will see upwards of 584,000 acres of prime farm and ranch land lost, with up to a million people displaced through this practice.
The recalling of this bill by the Oklahoma State Senate is another small and maybe even temporary victory in the struggle to stop the NAFTA Superhighway and the North American Union. Nevertheless, it is encouraging that citizens concerns in regards to this issue are being echoed by more and more legislators. Many states have already passed anti-North American Union and anti-NAFTA Superhighway resolutions. The NAFTA Superhighway is a threat to private property, our sovereignty, and security.

U.S. Did Dirty Work For Chinese Interrogators
05-20-2008
ABC News
U.S. military personnel at Guantanamo Bay allegedly softened up detainees at the request of Chinese intelligence officials who had come to the island facility to interrogate the men -- or they allowed the Chinese to dole out the treatment themselves, according to claims in a new government report.
Buried in a Department of Justice report released Tuesday are new allegations about a 2002 arrangement between the United States and China, which allowed Chinese intelligence to visit Guantanamo and interrogate Chinese Uighurs held there.
According to the report by Justice Department Inspector General Glenn Fine, an FBI agent reported a detainee belonging to China's ethnic Uighur minority and a Uighur translator told him Uighur detainees were kept awake for long periods, deprived of food and forced to endure cold for hours on end, just prior to questioning by Chinese interrogators.
Susan Manning, a lawyer who represents several Uighurs still held at Guantanamo, said Tuesday the allegations are all too familiar.
U.S. personnel "are engaging in abusive tactics on behalf of the Chinese," she said Tuesday. When Uighur detainees refused to talk to Chinese interrogators in 2002, U.S. military personnel put them in solitary confinement as punishment, she said.

There is more than meets the eye about the world food crisis
Eric Walberg
Online Journal
Monday, May 19, 2008
Food protests and riots have swept more than 20 countries in the past few months, including Egypt.
On 2 April, World Bank President Robert Zoellick told a meeting in Washington that there are 33 countries where price hikes could cause widespread social unrest. The UN World Food Programme called the crisis the silent tsunami, with wheat prices almost doubling in the past year alone, and stocks falling to the lowest level since the perilous post-WWII days. One billion people live on less than $1 a day. Some 850 million are starving. Meanwhile, world food production increased a mere 1 per cent in 2006, and, with increasing amounts of output going to biofuels, per capita consumption is declining.
The most commonly stated reasons include rising fuel costs, global warming, deterioration of soils, and increased demand in China and India. So is it all just a case of hard luck and poor planning?
There is just too much of a pattern, and too many elements all pointing in the same direction. Anyone following the news will have heard of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), which first met in 1921, and the group that represents the inner circle within the inner circle, the Bilderberg Group, which first met in 1954. The latter, once a highly secretive organisation bringing together select world political and business leaders, was exposed to the media spotlight in 1990s and since then has had to endure increasing criticism for its, to say the least, undemocratic role in shaping political leaders’ thinking and actions in accordance with the desires of the world business elite.
The US has never been shy about flaunting world opinion. A case in point is its sole “nay” to multiple UN General Assembly and conference resolutions which declare that “health care and proper nourishment are human rights.” The resolution was approved by a vote of 135-1 in 1981 under president Ronald Reagan, and at UN-sponsored food summits by similar margins in 1996 under president Bill Clinton and in 2002 under President George W. Bush, dismissing any “right to food.”
Whether Republican or Democrat, Washington instead champions free trade as the key to ending the poverty which it argues is at the root of hunger, and expresses fears that recognition of a right to food could lead to lawsuits from poor nations seeking aid and special trade provisions. And these are only resolutions by a powerless body which is in any case virtually subservient to the US. We can see at this very moment how this international humanitarian body is not above using starvation of innocent Gazans as a political tool in the interests of the status quo. Despite loud protestations to the contrary, there is little real international will opposing a future where millions die of starvation while a world elite consolidate their power.
Trying to come to grips with the world food crisis, it’s hard not to subscribe to some version of a conspiracy theory -- that somehow, for some reason, this rush towards widespread world famine is actually a plan by a world clique intent on drastically reducing the world population, accelerating the collapse of national governments, allowing gigantic world corporations effectively to take their place, controlling vast areas of land, leading towards a world governed by these corporations. Especially with the US so clear in its assumption that indeed widespread famine is in the cards, for which it does not want to be held responsible. Forget about global warming (which is of course very real and harmful to food production). Here are a few more red flags.
First, the WB and IMF, set up largely by the US following WWII, are notorious for refusing to advance loans to poor countries unless they agree to Structural Adjustment Programmes that require the loan recipients to devalue their currencies, cut taxes, privatise utilities and reduce or eliminate support programmes for farmers. The results are a weakened state, impoverished local farmers and increased economic domination by international corporations. Combined with this is constant pressure on poor countries to lower tariffs, preventing them from building up their industrial potential, often destituting their farmers who cannot compete with heavily subsidised produce from rich nations.
Second, rich country subsidies, in Canada, for example, allow the federal government to pay farmers $225 for each pig killed in an ongoing mass cull of breeding swine, as part of a plan to reduce hog production. Some of the slaughtered hogs may be given to local Food Banks, but most will be destroyed or made into pet food. None will go to, say, Haiti.
Third, biofuel programmes are now channelling massive quantities of cereal and other crops to produce fuel for the world’s wealthy to run their second and third family cars while close to a billion starve. Add in GMO products, which are now being forced on poor countries (and not only) by large multinationals, protected by copyright laws, effectively enslaving farmers in perpetuity, not to mention their likely dire effects on loss of crop variety.
Last but not least, the current US-sponsored wars in the Middle East, with the resultant sky-rocketing oil prices, are merely accelerating a descent into the abyss, as it and its conjunct, NATO, continue to expand beyond all responsible limits and venture into Asia, threatening more and more recalcitrant countries with loss of sovereignty, subversion and outright invasion.
But you don’t have to believe in a “Made it Happen On Purpose” (MHOP) conspiracy for either 9/11 or the food crisis. As political analyst William Blum, famously cited by Osama Bin Laden on one of his alleged video missives, said, “We’re speaking of men making decisions, based not on people’s needs but on pseudo-scientific, amoral mechanisms like supply and demand, commodity exchanges, grain futures, selling short, selling long, and other forms of speculation, all fed and multiplied by the proverbial herd mentality -- a system governed by only two things: fear and greed; not a rational way to feed a world of human beings.”
Blum subscribes to a “Let it Happen On Purpose” (LHOP) explanation concerning 9/11, that whatever conspiracy there is is loose and unorganised, that a big dose of incompetence mixed with justified anger by the oppressed is producing an explosive concoction, but that it is still possible that leaders will wake up and address the issues sensibly. This is a much more comforting worldview, but one that looks thinner and thinner as the whirlwind gathers momentum. While Blum dismisses speculation about the food crisis as conspiracy, the links between the current world upheavals starting with 9/11 are there for all to see, and less and less seems to separate MHOP from LHOP as time marches on.
In fact there has been a food crisis ever since imperialism really got underway three centuries ago. Perhaps the most extensive famines in history were presided over by Britain in India in the 18-20th centuries. It has merely metamorphosed over time, just as has the “one world” movement that imperialism itself launched. Back then, it was more obvious: burn, rape, dispossess, enslave, create monopolies for trade and production (plantations), talk about “darkest Africa.” Now it is the WTO, WB, IMF, emergency loans, privatisation, GMO crops, just possibly, the gathering “food crisis.”
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez perhaps said it best: “It is a massacre of the world’s poor. The problem is not the production of food. It is the economic, social and political model of the world. The capitalist model is in crisis.”
Then what is really going on?
First of all, let’s get rid of the idea that we are seeing “impersonal market forces” at work. Supply and demand is not a law, it’s a policy, one that clearly cannot solve the problem. Second, let’s ask the question which any competent investigator should pose when starting out on the trail of a possible crime: “Who benefits?” Indeed we can even describe the crime as genocide if the events in question are avoidable or planned. Those who benefit are obviously the ones who finance agricultural operations, those who are charging monopoly prices for the commodities in demand, the various middlemen who bring the products to market, and the owners of the land and other assets used in the production/consumption cycle.
In other words, it’s the financial elite of the world who have gained control of the most basic necessity of life, guided by a long-term strategy by international finance to starve much of the world’s population in order to seize their land and control their natural resources.
In Superclass: The Global Power Elite and the World They Are Making (2008), David Rothkopf, currently at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, former deputy undersecretary of commerce for international trade under Clinton and managing director of Kissinger and Associates, brazenly outlines the real situation. As a consummate insider, he is clearly someone who should know. He argues that a global elite now run the planet and have usurped the power of national governments while ensuring laws constrained by borders are all but obsolete. “Each one of them is one in a million. They number six thousand on a planet of six billion. They run our governments, our largest corporations, the powerhouses of international finance, the media, world religions, and, from the shadows, the world’s most dangerous criminal and terrorist organisations. They are the global superclass, and they are shaping the history of our time,” states the promo for the book. This elite “see national governments as residues from the past whose only useful function is to facilitate the elite’s global operations. Their connections to each other have become more significant than their ties to their home nations and governments.”
But why would an insider give the plot away to us plebes, you may well ask. For one thing, the exposure of the conspirators in the world media -- yes, the Internet and satellite communications work both ways -- has meant that there is a pressing need for some soothing PR, showing us that whatever conspiracy there is is benign, for our own good, necessary, if you will. That’s the only explanation for such a startlingly frank insider’s account as Superclass provides.
Secondly, it seems the time is ripe to move forward on this plan to drastically reduce world population, and increase control of the Earth’s land and resources for a world elite in perpetuity. One-world government, super imperialism, call it what you will.
The expansion of the US military empire abroad, the Trojan Horse of the conspiracy, comes with the creation of a totalitarian system of surveillance at home and abroad, put into place as part of the “War on Terror.” Human microchip implants for tracking purposes are starting to be used. The military-industrial complex has become the US’s largest and most successful industry, intent on destroying both foreign and domestic “enemies.” The pieces are now in place for world domination.
The 20th century -- any conspiracy really can only be clearly argued starting from the Great War-to-end-all-war -- surely was the US century, meaning it was able to impose its ideology of markets, consumerism and individualism even to the far reaches of Communist Russia and China, and hence ensure that the global elite it set in motion will subscribe in some form to its agenda -- if indeed there is one.
This situation is in fact a perverse form of Kant’s recipe for world peace: countries must be willing to cede sovereignty to prevent war. His idealistic proposal floundered on the unwillingness of countries to cede meaningful autonomy to a world body, as the experience of the League of Nations and the UN have shown in spades. However, once the US succeeded in amassing overwhelming economic might in the world and in splitting up the SU, it proceeded to use NATO as just such a world body, successfully tempting the resultant statelets to join it. The plan was for Russia to be coaxed into the fold as well, though this part of the plan has, as it turns out, hit a snag.
What about foreign aid? Yes, Bush just proposed spending an additional $770 million, bringing next year’s budget of food assistance to $2.6 billion. But since this is tied aid, forcing countries to import subsidised US produce, less than half the amount actually reaches the starving peasants, and combined with WB/IMF structural adjustment policies such aid really does more to compound the problem than provide any real long-term change for the better.
For sceptics about the possibility of some form of LHOP/MHOP, just consider the following: if indeed 6,000 elite business leaders control the world’s fate, surely such an immensely wealthy and powerful coterie could solve the food crisis in a flash. The massive expenditures on arms and the wanton destruction they cause every second, could, if stopped, provide the will and resources to restructure the world to end starvation, let alone poverty, leaving lots left over for the elite to wallow in. There is no organised force of any consequence opposing this world elite. What’s stopping it?

The Economy: Another Casualty of War
Ron Paul
Lew Rockwell.com
Tuesday, May 20, 2008
This week, as the American economy continued to suffer the effects of big government, the House attempted to pass two multibillion-dollar "emergency" spending bills, one for continued spending on the war in Iraq, and one increasing spending on domestic and international welfare programs. The plan was to pass these two bills and then send them to the president as one package. Even though the House failed to pass the war-spending bill, opponents of the war should not be fooled into believing this vote signals a long-term change in policy. At the end of the day, those favoring continued military occupation of Iraq will receive every penny they are requesting and more as long as they agree to dramatically increase domestic and international welfare spending as well.
The continued War in Iraq and the constant state of emergency has allowed Congress to use these so-called "emergency" bills as a vehicle to dramatically increase spending across the board – including spending that does not meet even the most generous definition of emergency. For example, the spending proposals currently being considered by Congress provide $210 million to the Census Bureau and $4 million for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms. $4.6 billion is requested for the closing of military bases, but not any of the more than 700 bases overseas – but bases here at home! Another $387 million would go to various international organizations and $850 million more just in international food aid – all this when food prices are skyrocketing here and American families are having a hard time making ends meet. Because this spending will be part of "emergency" measures, it will not count against debt ceilings, or any spending limits set by Congressional budget resolutions, and does not have to be offset in any way.
Explosive growth of government is just another tragedy of this war. The "bipartisan" compromises made in Washington are at the expense of the taxpayer, not in the interest of fiscal responsibility, or peace. The taxpayer loses and government grows.
The bottom line is that our dollar is falling, the economy is in rough shape, and government spending is wildly out of control. Congress argues over relatively minor details, instead of dramatically changing our flawed foreign policy. We need to bring our troops home, not only from Iraq and Afghanistan, but from South Korea, Germany, and the other 138 countries where we have troops stationed. Our foreign policy of interventionism is not only offensive to others, inviting further terrorist attacks, but it is ruining our economy as we tax, borrow and print the money to pay the bills of our empire. The economy and ultimately the American people suffer because Washington is refusing to adopt more sensible and constitutional policies.
Squabbling between those who favor increased welfare and those who favor increased warfare has giving the American people a temporary reprieve from having to bear the burden of yet another dramatic increase in government this week. However, as early as next week a compromise could be reached that expands both government warfare and welfare. As congressional approval ratings drop to 18% according to a recent Gallup poll, the American people are telegraphing that Congress is taking the country in the wrong direction. Our government must stop bankrupting the country so that we can get back on track to a peaceful, prosperous future.

The View co-host brings up Prescott Bush's Nazi ties
David Edwards and Muriel Kane
Raw Story
Tuesday, May 20, 2008
When host Whoopi Goldberg raised the issue of George W. Bush's comparing anyone who wants to talk to Iran or Syria with the appeasers of Nazi Germany on Monday's edition of ABC's The View, the panel erupted into furious debate.
Conservative Elizabeth Hasselbeck repeatedly attempted to question whether Bush's remarks were really aimed at Barack Obama. She insisted, "It's not always about him," and suggested Obama is being defensive because he knows his support for talks with Iran is a weak spot.
"I think the president was very clear in what he meant," Goldberg replied tartly.
"The Bush administration is out there talking to North Korea, talking to Syria," noted liberal Joy Behar. "Isn't that what diplomacy is about? This guy doesn't know the difference between the word 'diplomacy' and 'appeasement.' He's just stupid."
"One more point," continued Behar, pulling out a prepared statement. "It's very interesting and ironic that George Bush, Senior's -- er, George Bush, this one -- his grandfather -- this one -- the late -- I don't like to speak ill of the dead, but in this case it's fun -- he was a United States senator, Prescott Bush. Okay -- he was a director and shareholder of companies that profited from their involvement with the financial backers of Nazi Germany."
"This is his grandfather," Behar continued. "He has no business talking to Jewish people when he's got this right in his backyard."
"How come you can bring up this backyard but then it's not alright to dig into Obama's backyard and family history?" was all the flustered Hasselbeck could find to say.
RAW STORY's Larisa Alexandrovna also cited the Prescott Bush connection last week. In her blog, at-Largely, she wrote:
Dear Mr. Bush,
Your speech on the Knesset floor today was not only a disgrace; it was nothing short of treachery. Worse still, your exploitation of the Holocaust in a country carved out of the wounds of that very crime, in order to strike a low blow at American citizens whose politics differs from your own is unforgivable and unpardonable. ...
Well Mr. Bush, the only thing this comment lacked was a mirror and some historical facts. You want to discuss the crimes of Nazis against my family and millions of other families in Europe during World War II? Let me revive a favorite phrase of yours: Bring. It. On!
Your family's fortune is built on the bones of the very people butchered by the Nazis, my family and the families of those in the Knesset who applauded you today. ...
You family did not stop with supporting fascists and Nazis abroad, did they Mr. Bush? Surely you must know of your grandfather's role in the treasonous plot of 1933 to overthrow democracy in America? Let me remind you.
Grandpa Bush - that is to say, your grandfather - wanted fascism imported into the United States, or as you now call this type of transformation, "exporting democracy." Prescott went so far as to subsidize a coup attempt in order to achieve his dream of a fascist America.

Gen. Odom: Military Analysts Can’t Defend Relationship With Pentagon ‘Because Of Its Conspiratorial Nature’
Think Progress
Tuesday, May 20, 2008
On April 20, the New York Times published an extensive exposé of a secret Pentagon program that used 75 retired military analysts employed by television networks “as ‘message force multipliers’ or ’surrogates’ who could be counted on to deliver administration ‘themes and messages’ to millions of Americans ‘in the form of their own opinions.’” The program successfully infiltrated most media outlets; a review by Media Matters last week showed that these analysts have been quoted more than 4,500 times since 2002.
Appearing on the Diane Rehm Show this morning, Lt. Gen. William Odom (ret.), the former Director of the National Security Agency under President Reagan, said he was “shocked” by the revelation, saying the actions of these military men would be difficult to defend:
Well I was a little shocked by it. … My own sense of my obligations and my officer’s honor in the past would make me think that’s not a proper thing to do. … But I don’t think they’ll be able to defend that position publicly very well, particularly because of its sort of conspiratorial nature. I think it’s quite legitimate for military officers to talk to a number of people in the Pentagon, but to be part of a recurring meeting that is designed to shape the public opinion — that’s a strange thing for officers to be willing to do, in my view.
Listen here
The secrecy Odom condemns was a prerequisite for participation. “The access came with a condition. Participants were instructed not to quote their briefers directly or otherwise describe their contacts with the Pentagon.”
Unlike Odom, conservatives see little wrong with the Pentagon’s operation. Neocons Max Boot and John Podhortez dismissed the revelations as “part and parcel of the daily grind of Washington journalism” and said the story “reveals nothing more than that the Pentagon treated former military personnel like VIPs.” White House spokeswoman Dana Perino insisted that it was “absolutely appropriate to provide information to people who are seeking it and are going to be providing their opinions on it.”

THE STATE OF ISRAEL will be celebrating its 60th anniversary this week on May 13-15 2008. Especially at this time it is incumbent upon all Christian peoples to affirm why Israel should not exist.
Here Are 3 Reasons Why Israel Should Not Exist:
1) Israel Is Not A Fulfillment Of Biblical Prophecy: The appellation “Israel” in the Bible primarily refers to the “faithful” who make up the “Church.”
The “Church” as described by St Paul in Chapter 9 of his Epistle To The Romans is made up of the “remnant” of the Jews and the “Gentiles” of the nations. Together, as St Paul writes in his Epistle To The Ephesians, are fused into being “one new man” known as “Christians.”
2) The UN Partition Of 1947 Was Illegal: The UN awarded the Jews 55% of the land of Palestine even though their current holdings totaled only about 6% and their population was only about 35% (608,000) of all the Palestinians (1,237,000). The plan also gave the most fertile lands to the Jews but the mountainous regions to the Arabs.
In their War Of Aggression Of 1948 the Jews took additional Arab lands bringing their total holdings to about 75% of Palestine which they kept and never gave back.
Even though this additional land was illegally gained in violation of the Hague Regulations (1907) and the UN Charter (1945) which both included the basic legal principle that it is illegal to acquire territory by force, these new boundaries soon became the “official” boundaries of the new State of Israel.
3) The State Of Israel Has Created Chaos From Its Inception: War crimes, International terrorism, political corruption by the Jewish Lobby, defamation of character to all critics of Israel, Jewish racist ideology, world wide instability, growing Western fascism, American debt & inflation, are additional reasons why Israel should not exist.
CRITICS OF ISRAEL MURDERED OR MALIGNED
TO CRITICIZE ISRAEL is to put one’s life and reputation at risk. A recent example is the intense maligning by Jews of two US academics, John Mearsheimer of the University of Chicago and Stephen Walt of Harvard University They are the authors of the best seller The Israel Lobby and US Foreign Policy which is highly critical of the powerful Jewish Lobby in the US.
In a recent interview of Mearsheimer & Walt by the BBC Here Walt told of the many personal attacks made against himself & Mearsheimer by the Jews:
— “There have many personal attacks on us. For example, the Washington Post [owned by Jewish Meyer-Graham family - BN] had run four separate pieces on our book and three of the four were harshly negative and a couple of them raised the Anti-Semitism charge quite explicitly - and that’s just the Washington Post.” —
JEWISH TERRORISTS ASSASSINATED Count Bernadotte on September 17 1948 Here. The day before Count Bernadotte was assassinated by the Jewish Stern Gang he submitted the following Report to the General Assembly of the UN entitled The Right of Repatriation:
— “No settlement can be just and complete if recognition is not accorded to the right of the Arab refugee to return to the home from which he has been dislodged. This should include assurance of adequate compensation for the property of those who may choose not to return. It will be an offence against the principles of elemental justice if these innocent victims of the conflict were denied the right of return to their homes while Jewish immigrants flow into Palestine.” —
The next day the Jews assassinated this truly ‘righteous Gentile!’

The Overthrow Of The
American Republic - Part 20
The Election Game
By Sherman H. Skolnick
10-23-2
For many months prior to the year 2000 Presidential Election, I mentioned on various radio talk shows, that we may not have an election in the usual manner. Those who called in to the programs, asked "What do you mean? Emergency proclamations? What?" I simply answered we may be surprised.
George W. Bush was installed as the resident and occupant of the Oval Office by the strangest means. A military style Junta of 5 persons on the U.S. Supreme Court installed him. In the process, they said that their ruling on the 14th Amendment's guarantee of Equal Protection of the Laws is NOT to be a precedent in any other case, which was a great oddity.
This is being written and posted two weeks before the year 2002 Congressional Elections. Like for the 2000 Presidential Election, I have stated on various radio talk shows that we may not have an Election in 2002, in the manner that we ordinary Americans have become accustomed to.
Some strange events:
[1} About the time U.S. Senator Robert Byrd (R., W. Va.) made statements opposing a land invasion of Iraq. began the Beltway Assassinations.
[2] The oil-soaked, spy-riddled monopoly press would have us believe that maybe the Beltway murders are by some misguided crackpot. Notes have supposedly shown up, that the purported assassin states "I am God". supposedly on a Tarot Card. Another supposed note contains a demand for huge money, and that no children will be safe, and so on. Someone claiming to be the "assassin", in a muffled voice, not easily understood, says certain things to a phone purportedly in some ways hooked into the police and/or other local authorities in the Beltway.
[3] There are those in the White House and other Washington, D.C., press corps, who are in a position to know of past "programs" of the American CIA. One such is the senior CBS supervising correspondent in the White House Press Corps, John Roberts. He reportedly has an extensive type of background apparently with the spy agency. Perhaps he knows about two programs of what some consider a bloody series of covert doings: OPERATION WHITE STAR, a little known program apparently in Laos and elsewhere in Southeast Asia, in the 1960s, to spread terror by way of carrying out a certain agenda of American imperialism. And then there is the program of the American CIA, called the PHOENIX ASSASSINATION PROGRAM. In that, upwards of sixty thousand men, women, and children were slaughtered because they were purportedly part of the Viet Cong or other opposition infrastructure.
Supervising the Phoenix Assassination Program was William Colby who somewhere in the same period or later, was Director of Central Intelligence. He was also General Counsel to the CIA's funding operation for murder, laundering Southeast Asia dope funds, and smuggling operations, namely, the NUGAN HAND BANK. Colby's business card was found on the body of a murdered founder of the purported "bank". [Details are in the book, "The Crimes of Patriots", by Jonathan Kwitny. A successor to that "bank" and their alter ego is and has been since the early 1980s, Household International, Household Bank, and Household Finance, all headquartered now in the Chicago suburb of Prospect Heights, Illinois.]
The purposes of both WHITE STAR and PHOENIX ASSASSINATION PROGRAM, were to spread terror by murders. WHITE STAR, however, was a broader, lesser known bloody series of events. A good web search engine would turn up various published accounts of the Phoenix Assassination Program. But probably not so as to White Star.
Off the record interviews with those in the U.S. Military who participated in WHITE STAR, show in knowledgeable analyses of the Beltway Assassin, that he is NOT a crackpot, serial killer, or deranged person. But rather, a highly-skilled cold killer who will be rewarded with offshore money. Such a killer is no doubt supervised by a retired military or CIA covert operations agent. A retired FBI "profiler", knowledgeable persons assert, would NOT be in a position to figure out much about the Beltway Assassin. Further, despite their expertise in localized crimes and criminality, local police and other local authorities in the areas around the nation's capital, would not ordinarily be in a position to know or comprehend the mindset of a WHITE STAR or PHOENIX ASSASSINATION type covert operator.
Savvy retired operatives contend that such a highly-skilled assassin would do some of the following: He would not leave any written paper or card as to himself. He would not call the local authorities. He would know better than to suggest a large sum of money be wired, for his use, to a certain financial intermediary. He would, former covert agents contend, use a different deception and procedure for each "hit". He might, for example, take-apart his especially made weapon, put it in his overcoat or harmless appearing attache case, and walk right into the gas station, fast food joint, or other popular public place, and pretend to be a customer, blending in with the surroundings. This, right after he had slaughtered someone right in front of said establishment. He would not have a "white van" to be identified as his manner of "escape". [As to the plans of such an assassin, see the book "The Day of the Jackal", a supposedly fictional account, although actually following known events, of the attempts to assassinate French strongman Charles DeGaulle.]
One method of deception would be to use a cel phone call, pretending to be from the dispatcher of a delivery or repair service to their driver of a "White Van". Namely, that the driver is to immediately make a stop at such and such address. When the assassin sees the white van arrive, he shoots someone right in front of that well-attended business, and then quickly again pretending to be the "dispatcher", tells the driver, "You came to the wrong address. They need you RIGHT NOW, at such and such address." By this deception, any would-be witnesses would report to the police that they thought the assassin escaped in the "White van".
A workable understanding of what all is involved in the terror created by the Beltway Assassin is that it was done so an Emergency mindset was created in the general public. Some believe that Daddy Bush is actually running the White House. European diplomats as well as well-informed journalists, off the record, express the opinion that George W. Bush, unlike his father, is incompetent and "pisses on his own shoes", and similar highly negative observations.
Further, that the war against Afghanistan was reportedly quietly announced by George W. Bush to certain European and other leaders, IN JULY, 2001, months before Black Tuesday, September 11, 2001. And that Black Tuesday was in its simplest form, a way of temporarily sidestepping an impending financial collapse of the United States.
One of the purposes for the War against Afghanistan is to promote the plan by Union Oil of California, known as UNOCAL, to build a pipeline using a shortcut south across Afghanistan to Pakistan, India, eventually Red China and for easy transport to Japan. This was based on the estimates of oil and natural gas reserves to be used. It now appears that these estimates were either erroneous or fraudulent, misguiding other investors in the proposed pipeline deal. One of the biggies in the deal have been the Bush Family. The pipeline is now, by some, deemed not workable, in that the more current estimates of the energy reserves are only forty per cent of the original publicly mentioned amounts.
On the other hand, in the planning stages for some time, has been the Siberia pipeline, through Red China, to North Korea. And, by easy transport to energy hungry Japan, to make Japan again a low-cost industrial giant, using easily available oil/natural gas. The Russians apparently have far more actual reserves to support their pipeline. The project is headed by GAZPROM, a major world energy company, headquartered in Moscow and elsewhere. The head of it, an apparent former Israeli, has been described in some press accounts as being reportedly thick with the Russian underworld, known there as the MAFIYA. And who is the principal partner in the GAZPROM pipeline project? Why none other than Richard Cheney, of FRENCH descent. Formerly CEO of Halliburtton, oil machinery suppliers, Cheney has a large investment in Halliburton. Note, seldom mentioned in the oil-soaked, spy-riddled monopoly press is that France, for many years, has been omitted from many of the Mideast oil deals dominated by U.S./United Kingdom.
What seems to be related to this are the details, told off the record, by former U.S. Secret Service agents knowledgeable about the White House. [For some mysterious, not adequately explained reasons, quite a number of Secret Service Agents have in recent times resigned.] According to these sources, as repeated to Washington, D.C. journalists, there was much more to the "Pretzel Affair". That was when George W. Bush announced he was watching the TV while chomping on a pretzel, choked, and fell off his chair, resulting in bruises on his face. The former White House guards tell a different version. Namely, that Cheney and Bush had a heated argument over how Cheney's Siberia pipeline deal unfairly competes with the Afghanistan pipeline plans of Daddy Bush and Bush, Jr. And Cheney purportedly landed some blows on Bush's face. But that Bush, acting woman-like, scratched the face of Cheney. This version fits with the items of George W. Bush having since he was 12 years old, cavorted with his male sex-mate, who is now the Mayor of a sizeable southern city. [See earlier parts of this series.]
Recently, the White House apparently announced, that because of the murders in the area of the District of Columbia, that the President is considering calling out the NATIONAL GUARD to supervise the Election. Will this be only for the District of Columbia, Maryland, and Virginia, or might the Beltway Assassin create a terror atmosphere requiring the National Guard ELSEWHERE int he U.S.? Does Bush and the GOP worry about the Democrats somehow ending up dominating both houses of Congress, thus being in a position to torment George W. Bush on a number of issues. Such as, why was their a MIlitary Stand-Down on Black Tuesday? Why were most of the metal parts from the fallen twin towers of the World Trade Center quickly removed and sold to South Korea as scrap, instead of being kept as EVIDENCE, to be analyzed as to what exactly caused the towers to collapse? Were the towers brought down actually by internal explosives, which might be revealed in analyzing the metal parts?
Will there be a national emergency, real or created, AFTER the Election?
More coming...
Update
Preliminary Observations On Accused Assassin
By Sherman Skolnick
skolnick@ameritech.net
10-24-2
[1] The authorities now admit they had numerous times in the past stopped the now accused assassin. He was charged with various offenses.
[2] Project White Star is a really hot subject. I think it odd that about six hours after you posted my story mentioning more or less for the first time publicly that U.S. Military terror project, that suddenly they find the accused assassin, sleeping at a rest stop parking place, along the side of the road with his "smoking gun".
[3] The accused assassin was clever enough to elude capture each time in the past. What caused him to CALL the police, giving them the clue about Montgomery ALABAMA, not Montgomery County?
[4] The media seems to emphasize that he changed his anglo-style name to a moslem-type name. Are they about to start hollaring that he did these things on behalf of some moslem terrorist group?
[5] How many of his numerous arrests were in the very recent past? Such as during the Beltway Assassin turmoil?
[6] The monopoly press is emphasizing that HE WAS NOT PART OF A U.S. MILITARY TRAINED SNIPER TEAM. They admit he was awarded a skilled MARKSMAN badge. If he had been part of some U.S. Military secret unit, naturally, the authorities would deny it.
[7] The numerous holes in the mass media story of the accused assassin may become even more evident as time goes on.

Immigration - Politically
Correct Scam Job
By Frosty Wooldridge
5-19-8
When you talk to American citizens rather than politically correct editors, publishers, TV producers and talk show hosts, you get to the heart of the matter. As illegal alien migration and mass legal immigration rage into this country like a "Human Katrina", every American citizen pays financially. Other costs include cultural destruction, linguistic chaos, educational breakdown, incarceration and medical consequences.
From the heartland in Indiana, Jackie Murray gave several observations that stick in the reader's craw. He said, "Immigration policies have changed for the worse since the 1960s. Prior to "diversity" being next to Godliness, we imported an orderly stream of people who were pretty much like us! Hardworking, skilled, healthy, freedom loving people who expected to work hard, and turn themselves into Americans. These hopefuls jumped through the hoops at Ellis Island, and in spite of great difficulties became proud Americans. Enter Teddy Kennedy, among others."
In 1965, Teddy Kennedy authored the "Immigration Reform Act" that cascaded into adding 100 million people to America from the third world in 40 years with another 100 million arriving within 30 years.
"Suddenly we became the country of "diversity," Murray said. "In order to have "diversity" we had to set our sights lower. The new class of "Americans" was needy. No longer were the traits of hard work, skilled labor, love of freedom, etc. necessary! Instead, only skin color and depth of "need" was assessed. These new diverse Americans weren't expected to pull their own weight. That eliminated the need to be healthy, the need to speak English, the need to have a skill or job. We were told that we must be magnanimous towards those who were less fortunate than ourselves. Clever trick! So we couldn't say anything about the drain on our society, because that made us hard-hearted and selfish.
"Our elected leaders were enamored of their own pseudo- benevolence. I'm sure they smiled and smirked and talked about how wonderful they were for bringing in all these poor uneducated people. In short order America turned from the "land of opportunity" to the "land of opportunists!" This "diversity" began to pit "Americans" against the new "hyphenated -Americans." The more we had to "tolerate" these new people who were elevated over us because of skin color or national origin, the more Americans chafed.
"We hardly import any would-be Americans any more. We import people who want to take advantage of the real Americans, and remain whatever they are. They EXPECT AND DEMAND that we support them because they are different. They are special and can't be expected to have gainful employment. They expect to have their health care needs provided for, their housing paid for, their children to take up space in our schools and be well fed. They expect for Americans to bow down and worship whatever God they decide is best for us. How can we have a cohesive country when "diversity" is more important than character?
"Our leaders seem to have a propensity for bringing in criminal elements as well. Look at the Muslim population that we are catering to! Footbaths and special schools at taxpayer expense while they plot to fly the "black flag of Islam over the universe." Don't say anything though or you could go to jail for "hate speech." The culture of Islam is incompatible with freedom, yet we import more and more Muslims every day.
For anyone who watched "60 Minutes" Sunday night, the U.S. takes in 1,000 Sunni Muslims every month. Over 2.5 million now reside in the America. They're virtually taking over Detroit, Michigan. As their numbers grow, they will either demand Sharia Law or they will vote it into being within our republic. Sharia Laws stands violently opposed to democracy and women's rights.
"We don't get to ban foreigners that are criminals either!" Murray said. "Look at the upsurge of violence perpetrated by foreigners. We have Russian gangs, Chinese Tong gangs, Vietnamese gangs, MS 13, the Surenos, the Nortenos, Somali gangs and Jamaican gangs. The list of foreigners who come to this country and defile and terrorize American citizens is shocking. Don't say anything though, because you are a BIGOT!
"Mexicans are by far the biggest problem simply because of the enormity of their numbers. They too are here to take advantage of the freebies! Hard work indeed! These groups of people that are only here to do work that Americans won't do are actually making $50 an hour, if you add all the free perks from the taxpayers into their salary. In return for our generosity we are told to get out of our own country, raped, murdered, robbed, hated and despised and made to press one for English. They are using our system of government against us and voting themselves into power over us. Don't speak out though because then you are a RACIST!
"Diversity as practiced in this country is nothing but a scam, perpetrated by our elected officials to further enslave the American population. It feeds the egos of our Senators, and Congressmen who like to feel that they are the saviors of the world. All it really does is create resentment in everybody, American and hyphenated-American alike. We are resentful because we are just slaves (human capital) for the "new" Americans, and they are resentful because we are not giving them enough, and we are balking at becoming whatever cesspool they came from. Forcing Americans to deal with lawlessness, incompatible cultures, irreconcilable lifestyles etc., just because they are different than ours is sheer lunacy."
As a sobering reminder, we import 182,000 legal and illegal immigrants every 30 days, month in and month out, year in and year out. The results of such numbers can only become more grim by the day.
The great philosopher Kant said, "The two great dividers are religion and language."
The USA cascades into the same internal violence and separation as Lebanon. This journalist receives thousands of letters like this one. Tell me what's on your mind so I can share it with the nation. When will this invasion of our country stop? The only answer: when you take action!

'I Should Have Done
Something When I Could'
By Ted Twietmeyer
5-20-8
Will you say one day, "I Should Have Done Something When I Could?"
Time is running out faster than most people realize. If you're reading this essay on rense.com, a similar website or via email, you are probably already aware of this fact. But this essay isn't intended to preach to the choir. My intention is to provide something useful to share with your friends and families who need help understanding. It is intended to help them to understand that what they see and hear is engineered, controlled and filtered courtesy of Uncle Sam. That spell cast upon them needs to be broken, just as your spell was broken some time ago.
Some twenty years ago, a friend of mine nearing retirement came to our home to help convert it from propane to natural gas. We worked hard and long together that day, cutting, threading and running larger iron pipe in the basement to finish the conversion. When he was finished I asked what I owed him. His kind answer was, "Nothing. Just pass it on." His message was clear and unmistakable.
Today, I pass on to you what I can as well. All the facts are out there in plain sight. It seemed to be the right time to connect a few of the dots and assemble some key concepts into one document, to help others see the light of truth.
Consider what grass-roots efforts have accomplished in the past. Pressure from several grass-roots movements were responsible for ending the endless Vietnam War and causing Richard Nixon to step down as a result of ordering the bugging at Watergate. And in recent times, it was a grass-roots effort which exposed the "rendering" of prisoners by intelligence services to other countries for torture and so-called "questioning." Exposure of the highly illegal and un-American process of rendering began with a journalist taking photos of unmarked planes through a fence, which he observed landing at a closed airbase overseas. That grass-roots movement took off from there and the rest is history. [2]
A 100 YEAR WAR YIELDS GREAT BENEFITS
The world anti-terror war will last 100 years, which everyone was told in 2001 in a presidential address. Does anyone question how a president could know it will last 100 years? When America helped allies fight the Germans and America fought the Japanese, no one announced how long those wars would last, at least not publicly. Could it be that the reason this fake war on terror will last 100 years, is because it's PLANNED to last 100 years? A century long war is a great blessing for defense industry revenue. Before the attacks of 2001, defense industries were dying.
World War 2 was a massive, complex conflict which involved all the countries of Europe yet it only lasted about four years. The war with Iraq has lasted far longer, and still isn't over yet even though it was declared a victory several years ago. Does anyone ever ask themselves why this conflict rages on, and who gains from it?
COVERED FACES OF TERRORISTS
Why is it that whenever terrorists are shown in the media their faces are always covered? The government and media constantly tell us these men are proud to die for their religion. If so, then why would these men cover their faces with black ski masks? Can anyone even BUY a black ski mask in a DESERT country? Why don't they use a cooler material in the 120 degree heat they can see through?
Yet these proud men who supposedly will kill themselves for Allah never give their full names. They make blurry videos in the age of DVDs (with auto-focus cameras?) when standing over some innocent man who supposedly is about to be killed. Experts examining the videos stated the man in the chair was already dead. Since these killers are completely anonymous, how could any government from any country retaliate against their families if these men are unknown individuals? It makes no sense and defies logic. Could it actually be that their faces are hidden because the world would find out they are really American or allied intelligence agents, and not Arabs? If one looks closely at the build of these men in these videos, they don't appear to be of Arab origin. Many have tree-trunk necks and jar heads like those of Navy Seals.
PROOF OF DESTROYING AMERICA BY DESIGN
Could the government stop terrorists from invading America? Uncle has constantly insured that America's borders remain leakier than a rotted Three Stooges row-boat. Uncle is virtually playing the part of Curly by drilling holes in the bottom to let the water out. Uncle also made sure that Mexican Border agents had their automatic weapons taken away, and these firearms were replaced by semi-automatics. Now word has been circulating that now these weapons may be taken away.
Why disarm or under-arm border agents charged to protect America? The answer is a simple one: It greatly reduces their ability to both defend themselves and be able to disable or kill those shooting at them that cross the border illegally. How can they properly defend the border from those shooting at them from Mexico, which has already happened and taken the lives of border agents? Yet Mexican drug smugglers already have used automatic weapons against border agents.
So why was this madness ordered and to what end? The president WANTS illegal aliens in America no matter what he says to the contrary. It's clearly part of the bigger plan to destroy America from within. Illegal aliens bring sickness, crime and a large burden on the health care and financial systems. Emergency rooms within 100 miles of the border have been closed because of the financial drain.
How many hard working, honest American farmers and ranchers along the border have died because emergency help was too far away, thanks to the closed emergency rooms? We may never know that answer. There can be no other reason for encouraging illegal aliens to come into America other than to destroy it. The sick message is clear that border agents, farmers and ranchers are expendable, but illegal aliens and drug smugglers are not.
INTERNAL SECURITY - AMERICA BY THE NUMBERS
America is a land of considerable size which is impossible to completely protect from within. Here are a few facts from uncle's CIA fact book:
AREA:
Total: 9,826,630 sq km
Land: 9,161,923 sq km
Water: 664,707 sq km
AREA COMPARATIVE:
About half the size of Russia; about three-tenths the size of Africa; about half the size of South America (or slightly larger than Brazil); slightly larger thanChina; more than twice the size of the European Union.
LAND BOUNDARIES:
Total: 12,034 km
Border countries: Canada 8,893 km (including 2,477 km with Alaska), Mexico 3,141 km
Note: US Naval Base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba is leased by the US and is part of Cuba; the base boundary is 28 km
COASTLINE: 19,924 km
We see here it's bigger than one might think, at more than 9.8 MILLION square kilometers with more than 19,000 kilometers of coastline. How could anyone even remotely believe the government can protect it? Can we imagine trying to spread the entire combined defense force of approximately 750,000 men and women over 9.8 MILLION square kilometers to protect America?
DO TERRORISTS REALLY EXIST?
Let's look at a simple example of the invasion of America by these supposed terrorists using extremely conservative numbers. Since the self-inflicted wound in 2001, approximately 2,430 days have passed as of this writing.
If an average of only 50 terrorists came across the Mexican border during each 24 hour period from Sept. 2001 to the date of this writing in May 2008, there would be approximately 121,500 terrorists in America right now. (50 per day x 2,430 days = 121,500.) Yet hundreds to several thousand illegal aliens from several countries, including Afghanistan, are already known have crossed the Mexican border into the American desert EACH day according to the government announcements over the years.
But only a tiny percentage of illegal aliens are captured, and an even smaller number of them are actually prosecuted and deported. The biggest problem with many of these illegal aliens is crime, not terrorism.
Has anyone ever asked WHY nothing else has been blown up or destroyed in America since 2001 if there are as many terrorists running loose as we've been told?
So for discussion purposes, let's assume that there are "terrorists everywhere in America" as we've been told repeatedly by the president. Why haven't ANY of them attacked in the past seven years? In one of my earlier essays I predicted ongoing attacks would NOT happen and that the passage of time would prove this theory was true. Did I use a crystal ball? Remote viewing? Inside information? Not at all. It was obvious shortly after 2001 that what happened on that September day was both permitted and designed to happen. America simply attacked itself on purpose with the help of a bold, power-mad president. The Islamic people are the equivalent a fall guy who takes the blame, willingly or not.
My best guess is that the next new attack will be staged in time to negate any November election. It will be intended to keep the current president in office indefinitely, when America is put under martial law. But if he declares martial law, he MUST have the military support him. And that's highly doubtful at this point. The real question is how long could he remain in office before being forced out?
Remember the television broadcast in 2001 showing the president sitting in a classroom, being told about the planes crashing into buildings? He just sat there and didn't really care. Any other president would be surprised and shocked by this, and would have jumped out of his seat and left the room. But this president did nothing because he expected the attack to happen.
Still don't believe that he knew about it before hand or that he was a part of it? Consider the CIA announcement that the intelligence agency was running drills of crashing planes into buildings on that very morning. This too is a fact, but it was dismissed by the agency merely as a "coincidence." So what are the odds of this event happening in real life on the very same day of a drill for this?
What can we conclude from simple logic about these invisible terrorists constantly referred to by the president in almost every speech as being everywhere repeatedly for the past SEVEN years? They simply don't exist. Are you angry yet?
PICTURES OF WTC ATTACKERS IN LESS THAN 12 HOURS
This is yet another issue which bears close examination. When America was "attacked" newspaper front pages were plastered the next day with front page pictures of all the men responsible. The east coast of America is in Eastern Standard Time. This is the same time zone where the attack took place. All the attacks took place mid-morning yet in less than 12 hours east coast newspapers ALL had the photographs of the "terrorists" plastered on their front pages.
So what's wrong with this picture? I'll explain it.
All newspapers have copy deadlines for the next day's issue around midnight or even sooner. Metal plates for the presses have to be created, mounted on the presses and all the newspapers printed. All this takes place nationwide during the early morning hours, with most newspapers distributed to newsstands before dawn for people to purchase or read before going to work.
WHO has the ability to supply photo-ready images to all the newspapers in less than 12 hours to meet press time? Only the government could do this. Since the government already knew who all these men were WHY didn't it stop them first? Because they were pre-assigned to be fall guys for that day. And even worse, many of them have been found around the world still alive even after they all died on the four crashed planes.
ELECTRICITY EVERYWHERE ALL UNPROTECTED
There are more than a million utility and telephone poles scattered across America.
Here are some public statistics from just one famous utility company known as Con-Ed, unedited from the company's website. This is the same electric company that supplies power to New York City:
UNDERGROUND UTILITY STRUCTURE
94,000 miles of cable
264,000 manholes and service boxes
35,000 underground transformers
OVERHEAD UTILITY STRUCTURE
36,500 miles of cable
207,500 utility poles
47,000 overhead transformers
The above infrastructure is required for just ONE utility company to supply one major city.
A very large percentage of utility poles and transmission towers are located in rural areas across America. High tension power lines across 9,161,923 sq km supply power for major cities. Yet not one single utility pole has ever been destroyed by a "terrorist," even though ALL of them are unguarded across thousands of miles of desert, mountains, prairies and forests. Get the idea yet? This is what I meant in the beginning, when I said the facts are all in plain sight.
It's clear from this simple example that this phantom terrorist enemy being omnipresent simply cannot be real, nor can we realistically protect the electrical infrastructure from anything or anyone. The government can't stop a tornado or hurricane from leveling utility poles en masse, any more than it can stop someone with a chain saw.
I have recently learned that patients who are on oxygen cannot fly on planes with their portable cylinders, and airlines will no longer supply oxygen to these patients. Yet chainsaws are not banned or controlled. At least not yet at the time of this writing.
When the war with Iraq was being promoted because of phantom WMDs (like a used car salesman selling a car without an engine) the American people were promised Iraq's oil, almost like the "spoils of war." Have the American people seen any of that oil? Or pumped a drop of gasoline or diesel fuel made from it into their vehicles? Apparently not, but other foreign oil companies were given control of the oil fields. Yet people everywhere are paying over $4.00/gallon for gasoline. These are the rewards reaped for listening to a pathological liar and doing nothing about it. Yet it seems few have learned anything from this to date. If you are an American as I am, do you feel cheated and lied to yet? If not, are you actually breathing?
We have barely scratched the surface. Already the highest ranking generals in the pentagon have resigned, refusing to promote and play the president's power grab game. Several generals have threatened to resign together if Iran is attacked. Why? Because these honorable men know lies about Iran when they hear them, and don't want to go down in history as helping WW3 reach the nuclear level. Would you?
A PLANE LOADED FOR A NUCLEAR ATTACK
There was the USAF plane with nuclear weapons mounted under the wings which flew north to south across the entire continental USA from the North Dakota to Louisiana. It is a serious violation to fly a plane loaded with wing-mounted nuclear weapons over American soil. Yet this was called an "accident." This accident could have turned into a nuclear attack, but still no one in the media talks about it anymore. The story disappeared off media radar right after the USAF promised to investigate it. But it was NO accident as we shall see.
The late airman Todd Blue who took his own life for as yet unknown reasons was connected to this event. He worked at Minot Airbase in North Dakota where the aircraft originated. This is also the location where the nuclear weapons involved in this "accident" were stored. Barksdale airbase in Louisiana where the plane landed is a logistical location for equipment materiel headed for the mid-east.
Fortunately, REAL patriots in the USAF prevented that aircraft from continuing on to the mid-east. It could have become the mid-east equivalent of the Enola Gay the name of the airplane which dropped the first nuclear bomb on Japan. It requires a presidential order to move and mount nuclear weapons under the wings of any aircraft. There are numerous safety and ordinance officers that must sign for nuclear devices at every step as they are moved from storage to the wings.
ONLY an order from the president can authorize mounting nuclear weapons under the wings of an aircraft. All nuclear weapons are kept under guard in a high security area. Can anyone believe that USAF career officers, men and women, all of whom were psychologically tested for their jobs - decided to risk their careers, retirement pensions and prison time in a futile attempt to start a nuclear attack? Utter nonsense.
The pentagon announced that about 200 personnel were involved in this event and that a "thorough investigation would take place." Men and women who would do this intentionally without a presidential order, clearly would have known that after the plane had taken off and completed its flight to Barksdale, that additional officers participating in this madness would also have to take the same risks and lose their careers, retirement pensions and prison time. These men and women cannot be held accountable for following orders.
Are we also to believe the pilot, co-pilot and crew of the plane would take all the same risks with their lives and careers needlessly in a futile effort to start a nuclear war? Everyone involved in such an idiotic scheme would face military courts actions. Are you angry yet at the lie of blaming numerous officers and airmen for what happened, instead of the president who ORDERED these weapons mounted under the wings of a bomber? This presidential order designed to start a nuclear attack and subsequent war without the authorization of Congress (which could never be obtained legally) is an impeachable offense, and it's almost a certainty that you'll never hear any more information about this event ever again.
SIGNS OF A PRESIDENT WHO FEARS THE PEOPLE
Make no mistake all dictators (or those masquerading as presidents) secretly fear what the people will do to them when they've finally had enough. History around the world illustrates this. When the "decider" comes to any city today, interstate highways are cleared and closed in both directions for as many miles as required to and from the airport to his location for the duration of his visit. Police are stationed at the top and bottom of every entry and exit ramp to the highway. This is a fact. Of course, it doesn't matter what inconvenience this causes people going to/from work during rush hour. Or patients with a heart attack that can die in an ambulance, as they travel a long circuitous route through heavy traffic to the hospital. When you see this kind of control happen to a highway, you can sense the fear by the government of what the masses might do to him.
In past years when previous presidents came to town, presidents truly loved to see the American people everywhere they went. And they were loved by the people as well. Compare president Kennedy and other presidential visits to the ultra-tight security we have today. Now only carefully pre-approved, metal detector scanned pro-president audience members are allowed within blocks of the president. These people are also required to have special tickets or passes to just to see him, and only a select few are allowed to shake his hand. Does this sound like a president who has the people's love and respect?
Or does this sound more like a president who is afraid of the people? Consider how we proved earlier that the concept of terrorists everywhere cannot possibly be true and of course, the government already knows this. That only leaves the people themselves for the president to be afraid of. If the decider wanted ordinary citizens near him, he could order the Secret Service to allow it. The Secret Service works for him, he does not work for them. But he does not want people near him. So why is this? Secretly, he's probably scared as hell when out in public about what might happen to him. Consider all he's done to help destroy America with lost lives, lost jobs, lost homes, brutal fuel and heating costs and other damage is it any wonder he's scared?
He continues to perform like the crazed employee who burns down the building of the only job in town. Forget about dogs this president really does bite the hand that feeds him. This decider has been working hard every day to destroy America, while refusing to give any real aid or relief to the American people over the past seven years.
What good is a paltry "economic stimulus check" when it can't begin to cover the cost of living? If you lived on half an acre in a cardboard box, today a $1200 economic stimulus check wouldn't even pay the property taxes. And according to experts, these checks are really nothing more than a loan for which uncle will want it all back, probably including hidden interest. Watch and see what happens to your taxes next year. No wonder the decider is afraid of the people.
WHY EVERYONE CAN AND MUST HELP
These are but a few examples of a power mad dictatorship and only scratch the surface.
I could go on and on, but these examples should be more than enough to get anyone who still loves American and FREEDOM thinking. How many will be mournfully pining to themselves one day, "I should have done something when I could." Especially when they watch friends, children, grandchildren and family suffer even more than they are now.
Did you ever think in your wildest dreams you would be paying more than $4.00 a gallon for gasoline in 2008? Experts are saying it could reach up to $10.00 a gallon, and stay that way. China is driving up the demand, causing a permanent price increase for the world to pay for.
Remember the grass-roots movements which forced ending of the Vietnam War, Richard Nixon to resign and the exposure of rendering prisoners for illegal torture. If you think that you can't do something that will help end this madness then you're just not thinking. I'm not suggesting anything for you to do. What you do is up to you.
When a self-appointed decider is performing actions that threaten the very existence of America, it won't be the efforts of any one person that will force change. It requires the efforts of thousands or millions of people. This is what causes great worry to those in power. Keep in mind that for everyone working in government from building janitors to the president, it's still a JOB and a source of income. They don't want to lose that job, any more than you want to lose your job.
Rats don't like the light of day no matter what hole they live in. We have the light of day on our side. Why become one of the guilty who, in the end because of inaction, must bow their head in shame and say, "I should have done something when I could."
America has reached a point where there is nothing to lose from action and everything to gain. When the remaining freedom is gone, so will ALL life as we live it today. It will never be the same again, no matter how much blood is shed or how many gallons of tears. There will be no turning back.
If everyone continues to sit idly by, web-pages, writings and essays such as this one will suddenly become forbidden material. Even reading or having writings like this in your computer will become a crime. Anything a citizen does in the name of freedom at that point in the future, will cause them to be considered an enemy of the state. Great patriots of our time like Keith Olberman will disappear overnight from the media. Who in their right mind wants that to sit idly by and wait for this to happen? To do nothing is to support tyranny. Who would want that on their conscious?
If you haven't read the Patriot Act yet, you owe it to yourself do so.
It will astound you at the length and breadth of it. How could such a draconian 1,200+ page document be ready for signing by Congress just a few days after 9-11? At 9:30 at night? Clearly, the Patriot Act document was already set to be rammed down Congress' throat during the planning of the WTC event - just like the photographs which were quickly distributed to newspapers showing the world exactly who all the "terrorists" are that did the attack. You see, time DOES prove all things. And as we have seen with newspapers, timing reveals many things as well.
Here a small sample from the 2001 Patriot Act table of contents an Act clearly useful against patriots whenever so desired by the government. Parts of the Act have already been shot down in court when challenged.
Sec. 201. Authority to intercept wire, oral, and electronic communications relating
to terrorism.
Sec. 202. Authority to intercept wire, oral, and electronic communications relating
to computer fraud and abuse offenses.
Sec. 203. Authority to share criminal investigative information.
Sec. 204. Clarification of intelligence exceptions from limitations on interception
and disclosure of wire, oral, and electronic communications.
Sec. 205. Employment of translators by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Sec. 206. Roving surveillance authority under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance
Act of 1978.
Sec. 207. Duration of FISA surveillance of non-United States persons who are
agents of a foreign power.
Sec. 208. Designation of judges.
Sec. 209. Seizure of voice-mail messages pursuant to warrants.
Sec. 210. Scope of subpoenas for records of electronic communications.
Sec. 211. Clarification of scope.
Sec. 212. Emergency disclosure of electronic communications to protect life and
limb.
Sec. 213. Authority for delaying notice of the execution of a warrant.
Sec. 214. Pen register and trap and trace authority under FISA.
Sec. 215. Access to records and other items under the Foreign Intelligence Surveil-
lance Act.
Sec. 216. Modification of authorities relating to use of pen registers and trap and
trace devices
Sec. 217. Interception of computer trespasser communications.
This is only a portion of the Section 2 table of contents. There are NINE other sections to it. Realistically, we may never have the entire Act repealed. Politics is often about compromise to get things done. But we can work toward having the more serious incursions on our freedoms repealed, and those that remain more tightly limited in scope. Exposure of it to the public is a good start. You can bet that very few Americans have read it, and have depended on mainstream media to review it for them. This is yet another big mistake.
Could anyone after reading everything presented here still look forward to bowing their head in shame and say, "I should have done something when I could?" Remember all or part of ANY act can be REPEALED, and it will require sufficient pressure exerted by the people. (See [1] for the link to the actual text on a government website.) Even Richard Nixon stepped down as a result of public pressure.
Contrary to what government and media may want you to think, the American public still exerts considerable power on governmental actions. Congressman and senators often perceive silence from the public as acceptance, or even as a sign the public is condoning their actions. The biggest subliminal lie promoted by the media is to give you the impression that you are powerless. This lie is engineered to keep you from trying to do anything at all.
Is this the kind of America you want to pass on to your children, grandchildren, descendants and friends? To allow our countrymen to be afraid of terrorists who don't even exist except at the highest levels of government? To bow your head one day, and say "I should have done something when I could."
What will YOU do about it?
