Abused By Illusions

Separated by Windows



A homeless man peers in the window of society

deaf and dumb to what the old house offers him.

The wealthy parishioner stares out the window of society

blind to what the homeless man offers to the old house.

A psychically scarred veteran stares in the window of society

no longer able to feel what the old house might offer him.

The ambitious politician stares out the window of society

blinded to what the veteran has left to offer the old house.

A frail mentally ill man peers in the window of society

numbed to what the old house might still offer him.

The pompous psychiatrist looks out the window of society

unable to analyze the mentally ill man’s import to the old house.

A hopeless convict peers in the window of society

but fails to steal a hint of how the old house might need him.

The pretentious judge stares out the window of society

but fails to judge where the convict might still fit within the old house.



Each blind to the stone which sits at their feet!

THE SECRET COVENANT. Full version, rated R !
THE SECRET COVENANT


An illusion it will be, so large, so vast it will escape their
perception.

Those who will see it will be thought of as insane.

We will create separate fronts to prevent them from seeing the
connection between us.

We will behave as if we are not connected to keep the illusion alive.
Our goal will be accomplished one drop at a time so as to never bring
suspicion upon ourselves. This will also prevent them from seeing
the changes as they occur.

We will always stand above the relative field of their experience
for we know the secrets of the absolute.

We will work together always and will remain bound by blood and
secrecy. Death will come to he who speaks.

We will keep their lifespan short and their minds weak while
pretending to do the opposite.

We will use our knowledge of science and technology in subtle
ways so they will never see what is happening.

We will use soft metals, aging accelerators and sedatives in
food and water, also in the air.

They will be blanketed by poisons everywhere they turn.

The soft metals will cause them to lose their minds. We will
promise to find a cure from our many fronts, yet we will
feed them more poison.

The poisons will be absorbed trough their skin and mouths,
they will destroy their minds and reproductive systems.

From all this, their children will be born dead, and we will conceal
this information.

The poisons will be hidden in everything that surrounds them,
in what they drink, eat, breathe and wear.

We must be ingenious in dispensing the poisons for they
can see far.

We will teach them that the poisons are good, with fun images
and musical tones.

Those they look up to will help. We will enlist them to
push our poisons.

They will see our products being used in film and
will grow accustomed to them and will never know
their true effect.

When they give birth we will inject poisons into the blood
of their children and convince them its for their help.

We will start early on, when their minds are young, we will
target their children with what children love most, sweet
things.

When their teeth decay we will fill them with metals
that will kill their mind and steal their future.

When their ability to learn has been affected,
we will create medicine that will make them sicker and cause other
diseases for which we will create yet more medicine.

We will render them docile and weak before us by our power.

They will grow depressed, slow and obese, and when they
come to us for help, we will give them more poison.

We will focus their attention toward money and material goods
so they many never connect with their inner self. We will distract
them with fornication, external pleasures and games so they may
never be one with the oneness of it all.

Their minds will belong to us and they will do as we say.
If they refuse we shall find ways to implement mind-altering technology
into their lives. We will use fear as our weapon.

We will establish their governments and establish opposites within.
We will own both sides.

We will always hide our objective but carry out our plan.

They will perform the labor for us and we shall prosper from their toil.

Our families will never mix with theirs. Our blood must be pure
always, for it is the way.

We will make them kill each other when it suits us.

We will keep them separated from the oneness by dogma and religion.

We will control all aspects of their lives and tell them what to think and how.

We will guide them kindly and gently letting them think they are guiding
themselves.

We will foment animosity between them through our factions.

When a light shall shine among them, we shall extinguish it by ridicule,
or death, whichever suits us best.

We will make them rip each other's hearts apart and kill their own children.

We will accomplish this by using hate as our ally, anger as our friend.

The hate will blind them totally, and never shall they see that from their
conflicts we emerge as their rulers. They will be busy killing each other.

They will bathe in their own blood and kill their neighbors for as long
as we see fit.

We will benefit greatly from this, for they will not see us, for they
cannot see us.

We will continue to prosper from their wars and their deaths.

We shall repeat this over and over until our ultimate goal is
accomplished.

We will continue to make them live in fear and anger
though images and sounds.

We will use all the tools we have to accomplish this.

The tools will be provided by their labor.

We will make them hate themselves and their neighbors.

We will always hide the divine truth from them, that we are all one.
This they must never know!

They must never know that color is an illusion, they must always
think they are not equal.

Drop by drop, drop by drop we will advance our goal.

We will take over their land, resources and wealth to exercise total
control over them.

We will deceive them into accepting laws that will steal the little
freedom they will have.

We will establish a money system that will imprison them forever,
keeping them and their children in debt.

When they shall ban together, we shall accuse them of crimes and present a
different story to the world for we shall own all the media.

We will use our media to control the flow of information and their sentiment
in our favor.

When they shall rise up against us we will crush them like insects, for
they are less than that.

They will be helpless to do anything for they will have no weapons.

We will recruit some of their own to carry out our plans, we will promise them
eternal life, but eternal life they will never have for they are not of us.

The recruits will be called "initiates" and will be indoctrinated to believe
false rites of passage to higher realms. Members of
these groups will think they are one with us never knowing the truth.
They must never learn this truth for they will turn against us.

For their work they will be rewarded with earthly things and great titles,
but never will they become immortal and join us, never will they receive
the light and travel the stars.

They will never reach the higher realms, for the killing of their own kind
will prevent passage to the realm of enlightenment. This they will never know.

The truth will be hidden in their face, so close they will not be able to focus
on it until its too late.

Oh yes, so grand the illusion of freedom will be, that they will never know they
are our slaves.

When all is in place, the reality we will have created for them will own them.
This reality will be their prison. They will live in self-delusion.

When our goal is accomplished a new era of domination will begin.

Their minds will be bound by their beliefs, the beliefs we have established
from time immemorial.

But if they ever find out they are our equal, we shall perish then. THIS THEY
MUST NEVER KNOW.

If they ever find out that together they can vanquish us, they will take action.

They must never, ever find out what we have done, for if they do, we shall
have no place to run, for it will be easy to see who we are once the veil has
fallen. Our actions will have revealed who we are and they will hunt us down
and no person shall give us shelter.

This is the secret covenant by which we shall live the rest of our present
and future lives, for this reality will transcend many generations and life
spans.

This covenant is sealed by blood, our blood. We, the ones who from
heaven to earth came.

This covenant must NEVER, EVER be known to exist. It must NEVER, EVER
be written or spoken of for if it is, the consciousness it will spawn will release
the fury of the PRIME CREATOR upon us and we shall be cast to the depths
from whence we came and remain there until the end time of infinity itself.

This is a great example of those who are so deluded by the ADA and Center for Disease Control propaganda that they have a petition drive going on to demand that the water authority re-introduce fluoride into their water. Come on people this fluoride nonsense can be easily documented as cold war propaganda used by the military industrial complex as a way to get rid of its' hazardous waste.

Only in AmeriKa do thinking people demand to be used as hazardous waste dumps for no less than it being for the children! BTW, the reason the ADA clings to this noxious kernal of drivel is that the need for dentistry is 17% higher in areas where the water is fluoridated.

NOW DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHY THE ADA ENDORSES DUMPING FLUORIDE IN YOUR WATER?

Water customers seek fluoride - Web site posts information, articles and petition

2004-11-27
by Darren Dunlap
of The Daily Times Staff

Some South Blount Utility customers want the utility's board of directors to reconsider a decision against using fluoride in the district's water supply.

Rex Ogle, Jr., a South Blount customer, recently built a Web site with information on the issue, links to news articles on the controversy and a petition that residents can download and sign if they want fluoride in the water.

The petition seeks signatures of utility customers only.

``I'm stressing -- if you're a South Blount Utility customer,'' he said.

Ogle, a computer programmer, also posted links to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the American Dental Association, organizations that endorse fluoridation.

But while the gains of the orange-bedecked "chestnut revolution" are Ukraine's, the campaign is an American creation, a sophisticated and brilliantly conceived exercise in western branding and mass marketing that, in four countries in four years, has been used to try to salvage rigged elections and topple unsavoury regimes.

Funded and organised by the US government, deploying US consultancies, pollsters, diplomats, the two big American parties and US non-government organisations, the campaign was first used in Europe in Belgrade in 2000 to beat Slobodan Milosevic at the ballot box.

"A former Arkansas state trooper drew a two-year prison sentence Tuesday for admitting to the theft of more than $90,000 from the Arkansas Special Olympics.
Howard Smith, 51, was ordered to repay $50,000 following his guilty plea to a reduced charge of theft of property.

Smith was charged in February 2003 with felony theft of property and six counts of felony forgery. Authorities say he stole $94,426 from a bank account set up for the Special Olympics.

Smith was with the Arkansas State Police for 25 years and was based in Forrest City. He quit in 2003 after the investigation was announced."

Soooo....he steals $94,426 from disabled kids, but he only has to repay $50,000. In other words, he'll in essence be payed $22,213 a year for the two years hs sits in prison. Sounds like he'll come out of there still ahead of the game. I guess in the American JustUs system, crime pays as long as you're a cop.

Here is another one of those epiphany inducing articles that in my opinion is too much of an endangered species these days even on the internet where thought is atleast being freed somewhat.

How to Control People

By Charley Reese
OSOreese@aol.com
01-09-01
The difference between true education and vocational training has been cleverly blurred. Here are a few tips on how smart people can control other people. If any of this rings a bell - Well, then wake up!

The first principle of people control is not to let them know you are controlling them. If people knew, this knowledge will breed resentment and possibly rebellion, which would then require brute force and terror, and old fashioned, expensive and not 100 % certain method of control.

It is easier than you think to control people indirectly, to manipulate them into thinking what you want them to think and doing what you want them to do.

One basic technique is to keep them ignorant. Educated people are not as easy to manipulate. Abolishing public education or restricting access to education would be the direct approach. That would spill the beans. The indirect approach is to control the education they receive.

It's possible to be a Ph.D., doctor, lawyer, businessman, journalist, or an accountant, just to name a few examples, and at the same time be an uneducated person. The difference between true education and vocational training has been cleverly blurred in our time so that we have people successfully practicing their vocations while at the same time being totally ignorant of the larger issues of the world in which they live.

The most obvious symptom is their absence of original thought. Ask them a question and they will end up reciting what someone else thinks or thought the answer was. What do they think Well, they never thought about it. Their education consisted of learning how to use the library and cite sources.

That greatly simplifies things for the controller because with lots of money, university endowments, foundations, grants, and ownership of media, it is relatively easy to control who they will think of as authorities to cite in lieu of doing their own thinking.

Another technique is to keep them entertained. Roman emperors did not stage circuses and gladiator contests because they didn't have television. We have television because we don't have circuses and gladiator events. Either way, the purpose is to keep the people's minds focused on entertainment, sports, and peripheral political issues. This way you won't have to worry that they will ever figure out the real issues that allow you to control them.

Just as a truly educated person is difficult to control, so too is an economically independent person. Therefore, you want to create conditions that will produce people who work for wages, since wage earners have little control over their economic destiny. You'll also want to control the monetary, credit, and banking systems. This will allow you to inflate the currency and make it next to impossible for wage earners to accumulate capital. You can also cause periodic deflation to collapse the family businesses, family farms, and entrepreneurs, including independent community banks.

To keep trade unions under control, you just promote a scheme that allows you to shift production jobs out of the country and bring back the products as imports (it is called free trade). This way you will end up with no unions or docile unions.

Another technique is to buy both political parties so that after a while people will feel that no matter whether they vote for Candidate A or Candidate B, they will get the same policies. This will create great apathy and a belief that the political process is useless for effecting real change.

Pretty soon you will have a population that feels completely helpless, and thinks the bad things happening to them are nobody in particular's fault, just a result of global forces or evolution or some other disembodied abstract concept. If necessary, you can offer scapegoats.

Then you can bleed them dry without having to worry overly much that one of them will sneak into your house one night and cut your throat. If you do it right, they won't even know whose throat they are cutting.

Economic "Armageddon" Predicted

By Brett Arends/ On State Street
Tuesday, November 23, 2004

Stephen Roach, the chief economist at investment banking giant Morgan Stanley, has a public reputation for being bearish.

But you should hear what he's saying in private.

Roach met select groups of fund managers downtown last week, including a group at Fidelity.

His prediction: America has no better than a 10 percent chance of avoiding economic "Armageddon."

Press were not allowed into the meetings. But the Herald has obtained a copy of Roach's presentation. A stunned source who was at one meeting said, "it struck me how extreme he was - much more, it seemed to me, than in public."

Roach sees a 30 percent chance of a slump soon and a 60 percent chance that "we'll muddle through for a while and delay the eventual Armageddon."

The chance we'll get through OK: one in 10. Maybe.

In a nutshell, Roach's argument is that America's record trade deficit means the dollar will keep falling. To keep foreigners buying T-bills and prevent a resulting rise in inflation, Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan will be forced to raise interest rates further and faster than he wants.

"November 20, 2004—The pattern has been consistent and obvious. Every news report or scandal that has been detrimental to the Bush/Anglo-American war agenda has been followed, within hours, with shocking executions (real and staged) that are attributed to "terrorist insurgents," despite questionable circumstances, non-verifiable evidence and unreliable sources, such as "unnamed" intelligence and military officials.

The parties responsible for these acts have not and likely will not be identified, thanks in large part to deliberate US/Pentagon blackouts of reporting from war zones, and disinformation-laden and Bush-controlled corporate media.

What is clear, regardless of the identities of the perpetrators, is that the results have exclusively benefited the US/Bush administration war machine, while completely undermining the political and public relations objectives of anti-US/anti-occupation opposition movements and groups. The methods used in the kidnapping and murder of Margaret Hassan, Nick Berg and others neatly fit the profile of classic western intelligence and counterinsurgency operations."

(continued)

"Over the last several years I have evolved and discarded several theories in an attempt to explain why it is that most people cannot see truth -- even when it smacks them in the face. Those of us who can see "the conspiracy" have participated in countless conversations amongst ourselves that address the frustration of most peoples' inability to comprehend the extremely well-documented arguments which we use to describe the process of our collective enslavement and exploitation. The most common explanation to be arrived at is that most people just "don't want to see" what is really going on.

Extremely evil men and women who make up the world's power-elite have cleverly cultivated a virtual pasture so grass green that few people seldom, if ever, bother to look up from where they are grazing long enough to notice the brightly colored tags stapled to their ears.

The same people who cannot see their enslavement for the pasture grass have a tendency to view as insane "conspiracy theorists" those of us who can see the past the farm and into the parlor of his feudal lordship's castle.

Finally, I understand why.

It's not that those who don't see that their freedom is vanishing under the leadership of the power-elite "don't want to see it" -- they simply can't see what is happening to them because of the unpierced veils that block their view."

Is it just me or has Orwlellian doublespeak become our governments native tongue? Why is it everything is always now named freedom something or patriot something? It is like the shit is totally in your face but to make it better lets make the name rub the unwashed cretins face in the dung they call legislation.



Nov 15 - Funding for a controversial Bush administration plan to submit the nation's school children to mental health testing and drug treatment may end up reaching the Senate floor this week, as GOP congressional leaders look to clear the legislative slate in order to set the table for George W. Bush's second term.

The plan, called the New Freedom Initiative (NFI), is the keystone of a package of initiatives by the President's New Freedom Commission on Mental Health, a group of doctors and mental health care professionals established by the Bush Administration in 2002.

As previously reported by The NewStandard, the Initiative’s critics, ranging from grassroots mental health advocacy organizations to government whistleblowers, have said the NFI's proposals do little else but establish state-mandated markets for the psychiatric pharmaceutical industry.

Back in the days when this was a free country, it was possible to sing an antiwar song like "Masters of War" without having to give the Secret Service a second thought.

But 41 years after Bob Dylan recorded his elegiac, acoustically spare meditation on the folly of war, the lyrics are still causing trouble with those H.L.Mencken referred to as the "booboisie."

Last week, radio talk shows in Colorado were abuzz over a local punk band's plans to cover "Masters of War" at a Friday night talent show at Boulder High School. Rumors about the band, which drolly calls itself the Coalition of the Willing, prompted calls to the Secret Service in Denver because of alleged threats against President Bush. The "threat" consisted of the following copyrighted lyrics:

"Let me ask you one question / Is your money that good? / Will it buy you forgiveness? / Do you think that it could? / I think you will find / When your death takes its toll / All the money you made / Will never buy back your soul.
"And I hope that you die / And your death will come soon / I will follow your casket / In the pale afternoon / And I'll watch while you're lowered / Down to your death bed / And I'll stand over your grave / 'Til I'm sure that you're dead."

Never mind that the intent of the song was to use a corpse as a metaphor for the Cold War-era U.S. military, people still called talk shows in Boulder insisting that the lyrics were about assassinating George Bush! These days, high school students who call themselves the Coalition of the Willing are assumed to be seditious until proven innocent.

Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld has been proposing, funding and building Bio-Weapons Level 3 and Level 4 labs at many places around the U.S. even on university campuses and in densely populated urban locations. In a Bio-Weapons Level 4 facility, a single bacteria or virus is lethal. Bio-Weapons Level 4 is the highest level legally allowed in the continental U.S.

For what purpose are these labs being developed, and who will make the decisions on where bio-weapons created in these facilities will be used and on whom? More than 20 world-class microbiologists have been murdered since 2002, mostly in the U.S. and the UK. Nearly all were working on development of ethnic-specific bio-weapons (see Smart Dust, Roboflies &).

"BAGHDAD, Nov 19 (IPS) - An eyewitness commentary to IPS through a U.S. raid on a Baghdad mosque Friday gives a vivid picture of what a 'successful raid' can be like.

U.S. soldiers raided the Abu Hanifa mosque in Baghdad during Friday prayers, killing at least four and wounding up to 20 worshippers.

At 12:30 pm local time, just after Imam Shaikh Muayid al-Adhami concluded his talk, about 50 U.S. soldiers with 20 Iraqi National Guardsmen (ING) entered the mosque, a witness reported.

”Everyone was there for Friday prayers, when five Humvees and several trucks carrying INGs entered,” Abu Talat told IPS on phone from within the mosque while the raid was in progress. ”Everyone starting yelling 'Allahu Akbar' (God is the greatest) because they were frightened. Then the soldiers started shooting the people praying!”

Talat said he was among a crowd of worshippers being held back at gunpoint by U.S. soldiers. Loud chanting of 'Allahu Akbar' could be heard in the background during his call. Women and children were sobbing, he said.

”They have just shot and killed at least four of the people praying,” he said in a panicked voice. ”At least 10 other people are wounded now. We are on our bellies and in a very bad situation.”

Talat gave his account over short phone calls. He said he was witnessing a horrific scene.

”We were here praying and now there are 50 here with their guns on us,” he said. ”They are holding our heads to the ground, and everyone is in chaos. This is the worst situation possible. They cannot see me talking to you. They are roughing up a blind man now.” He evidently could talk no further then.

The soldiers later released women and children along with men who were related to them. Abu Talat was released because a boy told him to pretend to be his father.

Other witnesses gave similar accounts outside the mosque. ”People were praying and the Americans invaded the mosque,” Abdulla Ra'ad Aziz from the al-Adhamiya district of Baghdad told IPS. He had been released along with his wife and children. ”Why are they killing people for praying?” He said that after the forces entered ”they went to the back doors and we heard so many bullets of the guns -- it was a gun bigger than a Kalashnikov. There were wounded and dead, I saw them myself.”"

The discussion board at FreeRepublic.com, a prominent right-wing online forum, contains numerous posts from members advocating violence against NBC News correspondent Kevin Sites, who recorded and reported the close-range shooting by a U.S. Marine of an unarmed and wounded Iraqi insurgent.

Comments about Sites on Free Republic include:

"Turn Sites over to the terrorist."
"Fragamundo."
"No need for anything overt. Unfortunate things happen in combat zones, and if the reporter fails to hear someone yell 'Sniper!!', well, c'est la guerre" [French for "that is war"].
[In response to a post suggesting Sites's "life is in danger being around the Marines"]: "I would certainly hope so."
"I hope the Marines advance and leave Sites behind...alone in Fallujah with his terrorist buddies."
"I don't want the punk killed, I'd just like to see his hair mussed. Jaws wired shut for a few months, food through a straw, that kind of thing."
"It's Kevin Sites who deserves to be held in contempt and who deserves the losing end of a bar fight."
"I don't give a flying you-know-what about his safety."

"PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) - A TV reporter was convicted of criminal contempt Thursday for refusing to say who leaked him an FBI videotape of a politician taking a bribe - the latest in a string of cases in which journalists have been threatened with jail for protecting a source.

Jim Taricani of WJAR was found guilty by a judge after a 45-minute trial and could get up to six months behind bars when he is sentenced next month."

Welcome to the New American Freedom. There are several cases like this going on right now. The real intent, of course, is to stop people from blowing the whistle on corrupt and evil government officials and tactics.

What is Peggy Noonan's answer to the rampant vote fraud of this election? You have to read thisto belive it! Ms. Noonan wants us to just all 'Ssssshhhhhhhh.'

What I would really like to know is why the hell John Kerry is so quiet? Why is it that the Greens and Libeterians are having to fund the recounts in the three States where vote fraud has quite obviously taken place? In my humble opinion if what has transpired is allowed to stand next election we should all pop popcorn and take lounge chairs to the polls and laugh at the people that are there voting. Why you ask? Because apparently the electoral system has been allowed to become something that is nothing more than a huge frigging joke.

Before you jump to conclusions I am not a pissed off sore loser Democrat. My grandfather used to have a saying about if something smelled like crap it probably was crap. He used more colorful verbage but you get the idea. I knew when it became apparent that two Skull and Bonesmen were to be the two corporate parties nominees that this election prolly was gonna be a farce. Guess what it was a farce!

Wanna talk synchronicities? I just looked up farce on dictionary.com and definition #2 reads as follows: 2: A ludicrous, empty show, a mockery. The fixed election was a farce. Now isn't the example in the definition quite the synchronicity?OK now I feel better that I am on record. This election was a total farce! One would have to be blind and asleep not to see it. The trouble is I fear that the majority of our population is now both blind and asleep. Thats the only conclusion I can come to seeing as the din as Ms. Noonan descibes it is not so loud that it causes hurricane winds.

The patriots that founded this country I assure you aren't just rolling over in their graves! They are doing summersaults. Everything that they warned us about is coming true. We have been Ooogaaa Boogaaa'd into, as good old Ben Franklin might put it, trading our Liberty for Security. As he so poignantly put it those who would do this deserve niether.

Day in and day out we are told that the terrorist attacked and will attack us again because they hate our freedom. So I ask why is our government moving at break neck speed to curb every damn freedom that generations of fighting men have fought to protect? If that is not supporting the terrorist I do not know what is.

Of course if one looks at the fact that the terrorist now being used as the Oooogaaa Boooga were trained by the CIA perhaps that explains the whirlwind going on at that august agency. For in the end isn't it always true that we reap what we sow? Let me end with a hint for everyone. The world we live in has never been safe and never will be. You take great chances everyday just getting up and going about your daily routine. No matter how many stormtroopers you put in the steets, no matter how many countries you bomb, rape, and pillage you will never be any safer. What you will be is increasingly less and less free. Then haven't the terrorist accomplished what they set out to do?

So no Ms. Noonan freedom loving Americans are never gonna just Ssssshhhhhhhh nor should they! The clatter for freedom should resonate throughout the land!

Edward Francisco makes sense of the world through poetry

Join us for his poetic response to turbulence



Writing poetry helps Edward Francisco make sense of the world. As Writer in Residence and associate professor of English at Pellissippi State, he intended to spend this past summer finishing up his collection of essays to be published next spring. As events of the summer unfolded, though, he felt an irresistible urge to write poems about what he observed. He calls these poems “a response to the turbulence in the etheric stream.”



Francisco will be reading these poems in public for the first time on Thursday, November 18 at 6:00 p.m. in The Rothrock Café at Lawson McGhee Library. His reading is part of Thursdays @ The Rothrock, a weekly series of literary evenings, informational programs and discussions.



Francisco’s poetry, fiction, and nonfiction have appeared in more than a hundred magazines and journals. He was runner-up in the Yale Younger Poets Competition in 1992 and winner of the Bluestone Press national poetry chapbook competition in 1994. He is author of a collection of poems, Death, Child, and Love, and a novel, The Dealmaker. With Robert Vaughan and Linda Francisco, he edited The South in Perspective, an anthology of Southern literature published by Prentice-Hall.

An interesting article on what Ollie North thinks is gonna eventually happen in Iraq

Tuesday, Nov. 16, 2004 8:10 p.m. EST
WW II Flashback: 'Terrorists' Kill 1,000 Americans in Postwar Germany

"General Eisenhower went to [interim German leader] Konrad Adenauer, the guy we hand-picked to run the new government," said North. "And he told him, 'You either stop this or we'll get a new guy to run this country.'"

Adenauer prompty contacted the Wermacht and told them to take care of the problem at all costs, using former SS troops if necessary.

"It wasn't pretty," said North. "There were no trials - nobody was brought before tribunals or anything like that. The German army just went out and took care of it. And the killing stopped."

Added North, "I think that's probably what's going to happen in Iraq."

Read the entire article here!

"Senior police officers say they have been ordered to help rig the result of the Ukrainian presidential election and to use violence, including bombings, to undermine the opposition."

See how that works, folks? There are TWO stories here. First is the vote fraud, the second is a more insidious point that those of us who've been paying attention have known all along. Look again:

"and to use violence, including bombings.."

Heavy dark clouds rolled across the highway as Thomas turned onto it. Although he was almost giddy deep within him dwelt darkness that when released was capable of eclipsing even the darkest of such storm clouds. He turned the radio to an oldie station. Frank Sinatra was just starting to sing “A Sinner Kissed an Angel,” which was Thomas’ favorite song in the world. He glanced down at his Rolex realizing that he was ten minutes late already. “What the hell,” he thought. “This was always so much more fulfilling when he made them wait a while.” He knew Lisa’s type. Women like her had long ago exchanged life sustaining, if boring, dignity for an addiction to anticipation. They lived in a world of what could be and never seemed to have the slightest conception of what really was. A slight smile crossed his lips for an instant as he thought how pathetic such thinking really was. He began to sing along with old blue eyes as the storm inside him began to recede.
“The night a sinner kissed an angel
He wanted thrills, she wanted love,
Oh but his sighs were tender
As he begged her to surrender,
The night a sinner kissed an angel,
And she believed that it was love.
How was she to know that every lovely vow
Was part of the game he was playing.”
The announcer cut into the song with a weather warning just as a large black dog ran across the road in front of Thomas’ car. Thomas jabbed on the brakes a bit too hard and the car began to slide. Thomas cursed as he realized a slow rain had begun to fall as he had daydreamed and sang along with Frank. The road had gotten as slick as glass. Everything seemed as if it was in slow motion as the car slid toward the deep ditch on the side of the road. A loud thump signaled that a tire had left the road and dropped in the ditch as the car came to a halt. Thomas spun the wheels as he tried to get the car back on the road. The Cadillac rocked as it tried to regain traction as he started to give up there was a lurch and the car shot out of the ditch. Thomas shut off the radio deciding to pay more attention as he finished the drive to Lisa’s house. Thomas pulled into the driveway, shut off the car, and walked toward Lisa’s front door. He noticed as he knocked on the door that the storm clouds were quickly moving to the south and the night was clearing. As the door opened the same was not true of the storm welling up once again deep within him.
“Well hello Thomas,” Lisa chirped as she came into view wearing a flowered dropped-waist dress and a pair of wide yet delicately tapered heels. “I had almost given up on you. I thought perhaps you decided to stand me up but here you are. You can’t possibly know how much I have been looking forward to our third date.”
Thomas looked at Lisa and smiled and then looked down at the pair of pumps, that in his mind belonged on a rural schoolteacher not his date. “I wouldn’t have missed tonight for anything,” he said. “Now go put on your heels!”
Lisa looked at him like an awkward embarrassed schoolgirl and her expression changed to one that closely resembled one as well. “I have them on,” she spat, holding them out and tilting them in a way that reminded him of the spoiled teenage brats that used to do the house cleaning back when he, as a much younger man, had managed the cabin area at Bohemian Grove.
No, really, Lisa go put them on. The storm deep within him was brewing again as he shoved her toward her bedroom. “Come on you have to get this right everything must be perfect tonight,” he thought. A wave of euphoria washed over him as she teetered back into the living room stopping right in front of him.
“Very nice,” he gasped as he took her hand and walked her to the car.
As Thomas backed out of the driveway he thought to himself that the rented Cadillac was getting easier to drive. As they drove down I-64 he congratulated himself on the good sense that he had shown in renting a car for what he was now sure was going to turn out to be his best party yet.
Half and hour later they arrived at the Hyatt and were shown quickly to the table his secretary had reserved earlier in the week. The Hyatt’s dining room was just his sort of place. No one from his firm or those that he did business with would be caught dead here. Just a few families with crying babies and the quintessential middle class loser dining alone. In short no one that could have known him and more importantly no one that would ever remember him. Thomas attempted to make small talk with Lisa, over their Seafood Diet Platters, about his company and how his lawyer had advised him to open bank accounts in the Bahamas and Cayman Islands.
“It’s all perfectly legal,” he said with an air of pompousness. “Most people are just too stupid to know that those tax-saving tricks exist.” Thomas noticed that Lisa was getting a glazed over look in her eyes after he had talked business for just a short while and thought how incredibly ignorant that she was. “You can’t get good help these days,” he said, sipping his coffee and lounging back in his chair, his long legs crossed. “Everyone thinks they deserve huge salaries, but no one wants to do any work.” Lisa made some inaudible response to his statement but he could tell that she was lost somewhere in her emotional anticipation and had no interest in the important things that he was sharing with her about his world. He looked over and noticed that Lisa was apparently done picking at her dinner and was searching for those beautiful shoes that she had, so rudely, taken off as soon as they had been seated in the restaurant.
Thomas walked Lisa back to the rented Cadillac and drove her to his estate in Cambridge. The look on her face as they pulled up the driveway and he parked in the circle drive told him that she was quite impressed by his estate. He thought as he was showing her through the house that the scamp was probably already thinking of ways to spend his fortune redecorating his house to more suit her trailer park taste. He shuddered as he thought of a garish velvet painting hanging over his mantle. As they descended the stairs and returned to the living room, Thomas thought how much better his lifestyle was than marriage even if it wasn’t quite as accepted. He poured himself a gin and tonic and poured Lisa a tall glass of bourbon on the rocks. Deftly he dropped the GHB into Lisa’s drink and stirred both of them before handing her the drink. He started to wonder how long the GHB would take to have the desired effect on Lisa as he put a Frank Sinatra album on the turntable before returning to sit beside her on the couch.
“Do you have any other records,” Lisa asks.
“Sinatra’s great!” Thomas scowls. “Just listen!” Thomas starts to sing along quietly:
“Strange music in my ears,
Only now as you spoke did it start,
Strange music of the sphere,
Could its lovely hum be coming from my heart?”
Suddenly Lisa is 16 again and back in the Bohemian Grove of 24 years ago, the same song is playing, and she is running from two men in the clearing on the North Side of the cabin area. One is dressed as a ghost and the other is dressed as a skeleton. The one dressed as a skeleton has the much younger but clearly discernable face of Thomas. He is tearing her dress as she is screaming for help.
The turntable skips as Thomas falls against it. Lisa stands up and moves toward him quickly. She is holding a knife with a handle made from a deer antler that has “Bohemian Club 1976” inscribed on the blade. She deftly slips the knife in between Thomas’ ribs and walks to the expensive stereo system and switches it from the turntable to the radio. The Duran Duran song “Hungry Like the Wolf” is playing and she begins to sing along as she takes one of her spiked heels off and gently stuffs its spike down Thomas’ throat.
“I’m in touch with the ground
I’m on the hunt, I’m after you
Smell like I sound, I’m lost in a crowd
And I’m hungry like the wolf
Straddle the line, in discord and rhyme
I’m on the hunt I’m after you
Mouth is alive with juices like wine
And I’m hungry like the wolf.”
Lisa watched as the storm dissipated one final time and then was gone from Thomas’ eyes forever.

"No sooner had Iran agreed to halt their uranium enrichment activities than it became apparent that the Neocon war machine was starting to cast around for another justification to widen the wars in the oil regions of the Mideast. Building on the dubious claims made in the opening moments of Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 9-11", this week we saw Michael Scheuer, a CIA operative currently making the rounds of the media, accuse Osama of planning to use a nuclear weapon on the US, and moreover, that Osama had the permission of a Saudi Sheik to do so.

Well, we're just going to have to go in and smash them-there Saudis for that, aren't we?

Fool me once........

Let's take a look at Osama himself. You may want to hold your nose because the real Osama, the CIA asset the US trained and equipped to fight the Soviets in Afghanistan, died in December 2001 and his funeral was reported in the foreign press. Of course, the American media never covered the story of the funerals, because they needed a live Osama, even if he was a fake, to scare you all into going to war.

White House Orders Purge of CIA 'Liberals,' Sources Say
Agency officials believed to be disloyal to Bush are reportedly the targets

by Knut Royce

WASHINGTON - The White House has ordered the new CIA director, Porter J. Goss, to purge the agency of officers believed to have been disloyal to President Bush or of leaking damaging information to the media about the conduct of the Iraq war and the hunt for Osama bin Laden, according to knowledgeable sources.

"The agency is being purged on instructions from the White House," said a former senior CIA official who maintains close ties to both the agency and to the White House. "Goss was given instructions ... to get rid of those soft leakers and liberal Democrats. The CIA is looked on by the White House as a hotbed of liberals and people who have been obstructing the president's agenda."

Just 12 feet long and 5 feet wide, the unmanned X-43A is mounted on the nose of a Pegasus rocket that will be carried aloft to 40,000 feet by NASA's B-52 research aircraft and released. The Pegasus rocket will ignite and carry the X-43A to an altitude of 110,000 feet and a speed of about Mach 10, then release it for its brief powered flight.

The X-43A will then become a glider and perform maneuvers until it splashes down into the ocean.

I'm talking about the The "Constitution Restoration Act of 2004"


...the [Bushies] in Washington are pushing a law through Congress that would "acknowledge God as the sovereign source of law, liberty [and] government" in the United States. What's more, it would forbid all legal challenges to government officials who use the power of the state to enforce their own view of "God's sovereign authority." Any judge who dared even hear such a challenge could be removed from office.
The "Constitution Restoration Act of 2004" is no joke; it was introduced last month by some of the Bush Regime's most powerful Congressional sycophants. If enacted, it will effectively transform the American republic into a theocracy, where the arbitrary dictates of a "higher power" -- as interpreted by a judge, policeman, bureaucrat or president -- can override the rule of law.


All the fundamentalist rethoric and the mixing of church with science and law we saw so far may be just the beginning

It may be you.
I've done nothing wrong. I don't intend to. But the government which you serve has passed too many laws. I am sure to accidentally break one, some day. And that same government is systematically destroying the unalienable rights which our Constitution says may not be infringed — very specifically, my right to keep and bear arms.
I am not some wacko lunatic, but I can no longer stand idly by, while decent people are systematically enslaved by an out-of-control government. I cannot allow a corrupt judiciary to use its power to destroy my rights and my country. That government and that judiciary has begun to use you to arrest and kill people just like me — people who believe that the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights mean what they say.
You don't know me, but you see me every day. I may be a businessman, a truck driver, an executive. I could be a housewife or a salesman. But I am armed, as Americans have been for over 250 years, and I am determined to keep the freedoms which only an armed people may retain.

"Back in August, I reported an incident out of Wisconsin that may -- or may not -- help us answer the question: What should you do if police ask permission to search your home?

The daily Oshkosh Northwestern reported back on July 20: "Local police still have no culprit in custody following a Saturday night shooting that left an officer wounded in a south-side Oshkosh neighborhood. ...

"The ongoing search for a perpetrator continues to prove frustrating for residents of the otherwise quiet neighborhood. ... Residents ... had mixed things to say about the methods police used in searching homes Sunday morning in the aftermath of the shooting," the local daily reported.

Resident Terry Wesner told reporters "a couple of shotguns and a rifle" were removed from his home by SWAT team members after he consented to a search, though officers did not tell him they removed the firearms.

Of special concern to the local ACLU was a report that residents of the house that became the focus of the police investigation refused to consent to a search without a warrant. "(A police officer) declined to say whether officers pursued the warrant because the residents refused a consent search," the newspaper reported.

And here we thought the courts had ruled that refusal to give consent to a search could not be used as grounds to acquire a search warrant. For how can we really be said to retain any right to privacy if we can lose this right merely for invoking it?"

If your interested in your health you might want to go check out the new site on the fluoridation of municipal water. There is a link their to the National Task Force on fluoridation. I'm linking it here since it is a great example of how generations of Americans have been manipulated into disposing of hazardous waste for the corporations in the name of good dental health. What really got me thinking on this is that the South Blount County Water District which is near where I live now and is in the county in which I was raised is having a raging debate since they installed a new filtration system that did away with the need to add chemicals to make their water drinkable and in the process decided not to introduce the hazardous wate (fluoride) back into their water supply.

What is amazing to me is that many citizens, I would hope due to ignorance, are demanding that fluoride be reintroduced back into their water. One of the items that fluoride drives up is the parts per million of Arsenic. So I have been rolling the theory around in my head that perhaps people over the many years they have been ingesting the fluoridated water have become addicted to it and do not even realize it?

I thought this article on the history of Fallujah was very insightful. After reading it I came to the conclusion that perhaps we are repeating the history that the UK made there many years ago.

This town also is the place where in the spring of 1920, before T. E. Lawrence wrote the above passage, the British discerned civil unrest.

The British sent a renowned explorer and a senior colonial officer who had quelled unrest in the corners of their empire, Lt. Col. Gerald Leachman, to master this unruly corner of Iraq. Leachman was killed in an altercation with a local leader named Shaykh Dhari. His death sparked a war that ended up costing the lives of 10,000 Iraqis and more than 1,000 British and Indian troops. To restore Iraq to their control, the British used massive air power, bombing indiscriminately. That city is now called Fallujah.

"Next time you buy a car made in America, keep in mind that the car will be recording your every move. It's all part of the new requirement that cars made in the U.S. include vehicle black boxes -- recording devices that help car manufacturers, insurance companies and the courts sort out what really happened at the scene of an accident. "

My response to this? I encourage everyone out there to NEVER buy another American-made car, EVER again. Be sure to let the US automakers AND the unions know of your decision, and why.

In the mid-seventies America faced a new and escalating crisis, with US commercial jets being hijacked for geopolitical purposes. Determined to gain the upper hand in this new form of aerial warfare, two American multinationals collaborated with the Defense Advanced Projects Agency (DARPA) on a project designed to facilitate the remote recovery of hijacked American aircraft. Brilliant both in concept and operation, “Home Run” [not its real code name] allowed specialist ground controllers to listen in to cockpit conversations on the target aircraft, then take absolute control of its computerized flight control system by remote means.
From that point onwards, regardless of the wishes of the hijackers or flight deck crew, the hijacked aircraft could be recovered and landed automatically at an airport of choice, with no more difficulty than flying a radio-controlled model plane. The engineers had no idea that almost thirty years after its initial design, Home Run’s top secret computer codes would be broken, and the system used to facilitate direct ground control of the four aircraft used in the high-profile attacks on New York and Washington on 11th September 2001.
Before moving on to the New York and Washington attacks, we first need to look at the ways in which an aircraft is normally controlled by its pilot, because without this basic knowledge, Home Run would make no sense. In order to control an aircraft in three-dimensional space, the pilot uses the control yoke (joystick) in front of him, rudder pedals under his feet, and a bank of engine throttles located at his side. Without engine thrust the aircraft would not fly at all, so the throttles are largely self explanatory: For more speed or altitude increase throttle, for less speed or altitude decrease throttle.
In order to raise or lower the nose of the aircraft, the pilot pulls or pushes on the control yoke, which in turn raises or lowers the elevators on the horizontal tailplane. To bank the aircraft left or right, the pilot moves the control yoke to the left or right, which in turn operates the ailerons on the outer wings. Lastly, to turn left or right at low speed or “balance” turns at high speed, the pilot presses the left or right rudder pedals as required, which in turn move the rudder on the vertical stabilizer.
Back in the early days of flight, the control yoke and rudder pedals were connected to the various flight control surfaces by thin cables, meaning the pilot had direct physical control over every movement the aircraft made. This was no great problem for an average man flying a small biplane, but as aircraft grew ever bigger, heavier and faster over the years, the loadings on the control yoke and rudder pedals became huge, certainly well beyond the ability of a single pilot to handle unaided.
By the late fifties we were well into the age of hydraulics, where just like the power steering on your automobile, hydraulic rams were placed in line between the pilot’s control cables and each individual control surface. Now when the pilot moved the control yoke, the cables activated sensors, which in turn activated one or more hydraulic rams, which in turn moved one or more control surfaces. For the first time since Bleriot and the Wright brothers, pilots were of necessity being steadily distanced from direct control of their own aircraft.
When the multinationals and DARPA finally came on the scene in the mid-seventies, aircraft systems were even more advanced, with computers controlling onboard autopilots, which in turn were capable of controlling all of the onboard hydraulics. In combination these multiple different functions were now known as the “Flight Control System” or FCS, in turn integrated with sophisticated avionics capable of automatically landing the aircraft in zero visibility conditions. In summary, by the mid-seventies most of the large jets were capable of effectively navigating hundreds of miles and then making automatic landings at a selected airport in zero-zero fog conditions. All of this could be accomplished unaided, but in theory at least, still under the watchful eyes of the flight deck crews.
In order to make Home Run truly effective, it had to be completely integrated with all onboard systems, and this could only be accomplished with a new aircraft design, several of which were on the drawing boards at that time. Under cover of extreme secrecy, the multinationals and DARPA went ahead on this basis and built “back doors” into the new computer designs. There were two very obvious hard requirements at this stage, the first a primary control channel for use in taking over the flight control system and flying the aircraft back to an airfield of choice, and secondly a covert audio channel for monitoring flight deck conversations. Once the primary channel was activated, all aircraft functions came under direct ground control, permanently removing the hijackers and pilots from the control loop.

Ariel Sharon Proves How Israel Controls America
And US Vice President Dick Cheney does nothing to stop him…

Joe Vialls, 20 March 2002




On Tuesday US Vice President Dick Cheney visited Jerusalem. When he left America several days before, he was a man with a much publicized and very clear mission. Both sides in the Palestinian dispute were to be encouraged to desist from violence and sue for peace. Within 24 hours of his arrival, Cheney, representing the entire United States of America, was compromised and marginalized by the Israelis to the point where he looked and sounded like a village idiot.
Gone completely was his pride [and America’s with it], as Cheney announced that he would not be meeting Yasir Arafat unless and until the latter had implemented a truce. So, from America’s original declared position to talk to both sides about the conflict in Palestine, Cheney suddenly moved or was moved to a position where only the Israelis had a say.
It is of course complete lunacy to suggest that any conflict can be resolved evenly, if impossible pre-conditions are imposed on only one side. Perhaps most obscene of all was the very public way in which Ariel Sharon brought the US Vice President sharply to heel.
Using fairly crude subliminal techniques, Cheney was forced to take a visibly subordinate position at the news conference podium, and was then obliged to use two US marines in dress uniform to “help” him lay a wreath at some Holocaust memorial or other. Before explaining the significance of these actions, and for the interest of those not familiar with subliminal techniques, I am including four short paragraphs here from an earlier detailed report I wrote on the subject:
“Most readers have heard of basic subliminal suggestion, where an image is flashed on a movie or television screen so quickly that only the subconscious mind has time to see it. The technique was rife in the sixties, effectively culminating in an experimental version of the movie “Picnic” which was interlaced with subliminal messages at 1/3000th second every five seconds, alternately suggesting “Drink Coco Cola”, and “Hungry? Eat Popcorn”.
“Due to the embedded subliminal messages, Coke sales at the experimental movie house in Fort Lee, New Jersey, rose by a staggering 57.7 percent and popcorn sales rose by 18.1 percent. The frightening effectiveness of subliminal suggestion was thus proved scientifically, and American lawmakers promptly outlawed the techniques. After all, such techniques might be used by “The Commies” and had to be stopped to protect national security!”
“Legally thwarted in their ambition of directing human thought by use of subliminal input that could be detected by government inspectors, shrinks and psychologists alike searched the darkest recesses of their minds to find a way around the law.”
“This turned out to be easier than they initially thought, using a new technique known as “in-screen subliminal”. Basically what this means is that an object is placed in full view of the movie or television audience, but at the edge of their peripheral vision where the conscious mind is not focused. “
All subliminal techniques used during Cheney’s visit were of the “in-screen” variety, i.e. in full view but apparently secondary to the main event. Sharon and Cheney gave two news conferences, the first of which was at a Jerusalem hotel. You know the kind of thing: both speakers stand alongside each other at podiums of identical size holding their respective speech notes, while journalists shout questions at them.
Here there was a noticeable difference. Ariel Sharon’s podium was 30-40% larger overall [in all dimensions] than Dick Cheney’s, and also higher above the ground. This gave the unmistakable impression that Sharon was larger in stature than Cheney, and, by default, also more important. Under normal circumstances no red-blooded American would allow himself to be manipulated into such a blatantly subordinate position, but Cheney stood exactly where we was told. In short, the US Vice President showed all the public relations acumen and finely honed skills of a tethered goat in a paddock.
As yet I have not been able to isolate a video frame of these “rigged” podiums, which is a matter I will return to at the end of this report. However, this incident and the next gave huge credibility to Sharon’s claim broadcast by Israel Radio on 3 October 2001. At the time Sharon was berating Foreign Minister Shimon Peres in Cabinet.
“Every time we do something you tell me America will do this and will do that . . . I want to tell you something very clear: Don't worry about American pressure on Israel. We, the Jewish people, control America, and the Americans know it.”

FRONT PAGE STORY - 03/08/2002

September 11 - US Government accused

A Portugal-based investigative journalist has presented THE NEWS with a
version of the September 11th attacks that has to date failed to attract the
attention of the international press. The report, compiled by an independent
inquiry into the September 11th, World Trade Centre attack, warns the
American public that the government's official version of events does not
stand up to scrutiny.

A group of military and civilian US pilots, under the chairmanship of
Colonel Donn de Grand, after deliberating non-stop for 72 hours, has
concluded that the flight crews of the four passenger airliners, involved in
the September 11th tragedy, had no control over their aircraft.

In a detailed press communiqué the inquiry stated: "The so-called terrorist
attack was in fact a superbly executed military operation carried out
against the USA, requiring the utmost professional military skill in
command, communications and control. It was flawless in timing, in the
choice of selected aircraft to be used as guided missiles and in the
coordinated delivery of those missiles to their pre-selected targets."

The report seriously questions whether or not the suspect hijackers,
supposedly trained on Cessna light aircraft, could have located a target
dead-on 200 miles from take off point. It further throws into doubt their
ability to master the intricacies of the instrument flight rules (IFR) in
the 45 minutes from take off to the point of impact. Colonel de Grand said
that it would be impossible for novices to have taken control of the four
aircraft and orchestrated such a terrible act requiring military precision
of the highest order.

A member of the inquiry team, a US Air Force officer who flew over 100
sorties during the Vietnam war, told the press conference: "Those birds
(commercial airliners) either had a crack fighter pilot in the left seat, or
they were being manoeuvred by remote control."
In evidence given to the enquiry, Captain Kent Hill (retd.) of the US Air
Force, and friend of Chic Burlingame, the pilot of the plane that crashed
into the Pentagon, stated that the US had on several occasions flown an
unmanned aircraft, similar in size to a Boeing 737, across the Pacific from
Edwards Air Force base in California to South Australia. According to Hill
it had flown on a pre programmed flight path under the control of a pilot in
an outside station.

Hill also quoted Bob Ayling, former British Airways boss, in an interview
given to the London Economist on September 20th, 2001. Ayling admitted that
it was now possible to control an aircraft in flight from either the ground
or in the air. This was confirmed by expert witnesses at the inquiry who
testified that airliners could be controlled by electro-magnetic pulse or
radio frequency instrumentation from command and control platforms based
either in the air or at ground level.
All members of the inquiry team agreed that even if guns were held to their
heads none of them would fly a plane into a building. Their reaction would
be to ditch the plane into a river or a field, thereby safeguarding the
lives of those on the ground.

A further question raised by the inquiry was why none of the pilots
concerned had alerted ground control. It stated that all pilots are trained
to punch a four-digit code into the flight control's transponder to warn
ground control crews of a hijacking - but this did not happen.
During the press conference Captain Hill maintained that the four airliners
must have been choreographed by an Airborne Warning and Control System
(AWACS). This system can engage several aircraft simultaneously by knocking
out their on-board flight controls. He said that all the evidence points to
the fact that the pilots and their crews had not taken any evasive action to
resist the supposed hijackers. They had not attempted any sudden changes in
flight path or nose-dive procedures - which led him to believe that they had
no control over their aircraft.

THE NEWS, in an attempt to further substantiate the potential veracity of
these findings, spoke to an Algarve-based airline pilot, who has more than
20 years of experience in flying passenger planes, to seek his views.
Captain Colin McHattie, currently flying with Cathay Pacific, agreed with
the independent commission's findings. However, he explained that while it
is possible to fly a plane from the ground, the installation of the
necessary equipment is a time-consuming process, and needs extensive
planning. THE NEWS will publish a full interview with Captain McHattie in
next week's edition.

The FBI also came in for criticism for the various pieces of contradictory
evidence it has published regarding the suspects. Questions are now being
asked as to how incorrect information was given out regarding the ID cards
of the suspects, and the seat numbers they supposedly occupied after
boarding the flights.

None of the suspects named by the FBI appeared on any of the official
passenger lists. A further point was how the FBI had managed to retrieve the
passport of one of the suspects amid the molten and twisted remains of
thousands of tons of steel and rubble brought about by the Twin Towers
collapse.

Dr. Paul Roberts, former Assistant Secretary of the US Treasury, and
presently Senior Research Fellow at Stamford University, has lent his
support to the independent inquiry findings. He also claims that Osama Bin
Laden was not responsible for September 11th. The doctor has challenged
President Bush to make public the so-called "irrefutable evidence"
incriminating Bin Laden.
Colonel Donn de Grand said that if President Bush is lying it would not be
the first time that the American people had been mislead by its government.
He cited the recently published official government archives describing
President Roosevelt's duplicity in deceiving Americans about the Japanese
attack on Pearl Harbour, which triggered the US entry into WWll.

He also highlighted the role of the country's government in misleading its
citizens in respect of the Bay of Pigs invasion in Cuba, and the events that
brought about the Spanish American war in the late 19th, century. "Whilst
considering who committed this act of war on September 11th," he said,
"albeit Russia, China, an Islamic country or NATO, we must also consider
that the enemy may well be within the gates.

"Not for the first time the American public might be being mislead, by those
with ulterior motives, into lending its support to a war, this time against
Iraq, that has no bearing whatsoever on the interests of the people of the
USA."

So far the mainstream American news media has failed to publish or broadcast
any details regarding the independent inquiry. Similarly, the White House,
whilst having received a copy of the report, has remained silent on its
findings.
