Israel asks Bush to explain its 'special relationship' with U.S. to Obama

By Aluf Benn

Tags: Israel News, Barack Obama



WASHINGTON - Israel is asking U.S. President George W. Bush to describe to his successor, Barack Obama, the American commitment to ensure that its strategic deterrence is not compromised. The subject was the focus of Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's farewell meeting in the White House on Monday with Bush and top administration officials.

"I discussed with the president and his most senior staff issues connected to the core of the special relationship between Israel and the U.S., strategic matters of the utmost importance, and the ability to preserve those ties in the coming years," Olmert told reporters Tuesday.

Top administration officials told Olmert there was no point in a presidential letter from Bush, since it would not bind Obama. The sides decided instead on a list, compiled by the White House and delivered to Obama's transition team, that reviews all understandings and agreements.


In addition to the nuclear issue, Israel is also hoping to receive promised military aid and advanced weapons systems, and to restrict the U.S. supply of advanced weapons to Arab states.

Leading Israeli officials are concerned that if the United States begins talks with Iran in an effort to halt its nuclear program and development of additional nuclear programs in the Middle East, Washington will call for restrictions on Israel's nuclear capability as well. Such concerns are heightened by the support expressed by Obama and Hillary Clinton, who is expected to be appointed secretary of state, for global nuclear disarmament, a plan raised by four top American foreign policy officials: former secretaries of state Henry Kissinger and George Shultz, former defense secretary William Perry and former senator Sam Nunn.

The Obama administration is expected to accelerate arms control efforts. One of the ideas being discusses it not new and caused tension between Israel and the Clinton administration.

Israel and the United States have a longtime understanding on the nuclear issue, which was reached between former prime minister Golda Meir and former president Richard Nixon in 1969. Israel promised at that time that it would hew to a policy of ambiguity. In 1977 Israel asked Kissinger, who helped formulate the nuclear understanding, to explain it to incoming president Jimmy Carter, who wanted to push arms control and nonproliferation. The nuclear understanding has been continued through successive Israeli and American leaders.

When Benjamin Netanyahu was prime minister, he requested - and received - a letter of guarantees from then-president Bill Clinton in which he promised the United States would work toward preserving Israel's strategic deterrence and make sure arms control initiatives in the Middle East would not harm Israel. Clinton sent a letter enumerating the same assurances to Netanyahu's successor, Ehud Barak.

Later, Olmert said the U.S. has not advised Israel to restrain itself from taking action it deemed necessary against Iran's nuclear program.

But the outgoing Israeli leader stopped short of making any threat to strike Iran.

"I can't recall that anyone in the [U.S.] administration, including in the last couple of days, advised me or any of my official representatives not to take any action that we will deem necessary for the fundamental security of the state of Israel, and that includes Iran," Olmert said.

NATALEE WAS SOLD - JUST WAIT TIL YOU HEAR JORAN SAY TO GRETA THAT HE WAS OFFERED $10,000 FOR A BLONDE, BLUE-EYED GIRL



Posted By: Rayelan
Date: Tuesday, 25 November 2008, 5:40 p.m.

Tonight on FoxNews, Greta has an interview with Joran van der Sloot (pronounced Sloat... like in Commodore Sloat).

In the interview van der Sloot now says that he sold Natalee into sex slavery for $10,000.

Natalee Ann Holloway disappeared on May 30, 2005. I received the following email and posted it Wednesday, 22 June 2005... barely three weeks after she disappeared.

Now, more than three and a half years later... Joran van der Sloot is confirming the story we had 3 1/2 years ago.

FoxNews is calling it a far fetched story.

If Joran is telling the truth... why is he doing so NOW??


Natalee was sold - The kids probably got her to drink some stuff -- maybe even the date rape stuff. She was probably raped by all three -- the kids realized when she woke up they would be in trouble so they contacted their friend... the DJ. The DJ is the connection to the mafia -- the kids went to him to get rid of her -- He probably made money selling her. I will bet the boat the DJ works on is a Cuntrera nightclub.
ARUBAN MAFIA SOLD NATALEE TO SEX SLAVE TRADERS

Note From Rayelan:

This arrived in an email. I have no idea who sent it. I am posting it because it has "the ring of truth"!

Aruba is controlled by the sicilian mafia -- all judges are bought -- the judge in training - the boy's father, is part of the Cuntrera family - the sicilian mafia top dogs -- they control all of aruba - they control judges, police - and all intelligence -

The Cuntrera-Caruana Mafia-clan that control Aruba have been called the 'Rothschilds of the Mafia' or 'the bankers of Cosa Nostra'.

You can read more about them on this page:
http://www.tni.org/archives/tblick/aruba.htm

Aruba was supposed to go independent in the mid 90s, but it was held up by the CIA. The CIA didn't want give them independence because the Aruban mafia wouldn't play by the rules... ANY rules... Aruba would have become another haiti -- a rich haiti! A haiti that could buy anyone and control anything!

Natalee was sold - The kids probably got her to drink some stuff -- maybe even the date rape stuff. She was probably raped by all three -- the kids realized when she woke up they would be in trouble so they contacted their friend... the DJ. The DJ is the connection to the mafia -- the kids went to him to get rid of her -- He probably made money selling her. I will bet the boat the DJ works on is a Cuntrera nightclub.

Natalee's not on Aruba - She was probably taken to Venezuela - probably sold into sexual slavery there. Or sold to the saudis. She is exactly the kind the Saudis like... blonde, tall, slim and beautiful. If they ever find her she won't be herself.

The texas ranger unit that has been sent to Aruba is an intel operation -- Nothing will come of any of this if they continue to think they way they are thinking now. You can't dig up intel and come up with anything this time.

The people who run Aruba are some of the baddest people in the world. If anyone tries to expose them, they will come and kill your whole family... maybe even your whole town! It's NOT worth it... they are more powerful than God -- In fact they ARE God... meaning they are working with the vatican -

They are a power unto themselves... they are NOT part of the NWO. They have aligned, over the years, with Faction Two. Remember "Lucky" Luciano. The Sicilian Mafia understands the new world order... it's the real Jewish Mafia. The Aruban mafia is so powerful that even the NWO leaves them alone! They make the Muslim terrorists look like Keystone Cops.

The only way Natalee will ever be returned is if someone is sacrificed, and I don't mean in the Santarian way like that decapitated body they found in the graveyard. Someone has to take the fall and it will probably be the DJ. He's nobody. The other kids are connected to families that have a modicum of power already and therefore can be used in the future.

If the DJ agrees to take the fall, his family will be taken care of and eventually he will be "disappeared" and one day "reappeared" with a new face and new identity. At least this is what he will be promised.

The way I see it, the intel unit, disguised as Texas Rangers COULD broker the deal if they wake up and realize what they're dealing with. Maybe they won't get their REAL orders til they get there! Right now their orders are to go in and gather intel. This is a joke. Our government knows exactly what's happened. They just don't know where Natalee has been taken.

If she was taken to Costa Rica she could be found because the CIA has assets there and in most other South American countries. The only country where the CIA assets have fled or been killed is Venezuela. If Natalee was sold into one of the Venezuelan sex houses, then no one can find her... except the same people who sold her... the Aruban mafia.

If the heat gets hot enough on Aruba. If the Mafia connection starts popping up in the MSM, that will be bad for business. The US is powerful enough to broker a deal to get Natalee back. What does the Aruban mafia want that President Bush can give them? Since no one will ever know that any kind of deal has ever taken place, it doesn't matter what they want. The hero will be some Aruban detective that traces Natalee to the nightclub ship and to "sex slave traders". No one will ever know the Mafia participation in her sale AND in her recovery!

If she was taken to Saudi Arabia, it will be tricky to get her back, but it could be done. All that would be needed is something to trade something that the Saudis want. If I had my way, I'd give the Saudis whatever they wanted in trade for Natalee, and follow it up with a Nuke! The Saudis are NOT our friends. All Muslim terrorism throughout the world originates from Saudi Arabia. They are the puppets of the City of London. They were created by the City of London!

Have to go.

Here's a blogger that seems to be getting some accurate info. http://hyscience.typepad.com/hyscience/2005/06/natalee_hollowa_7.html

If I hear anymore, I will be in contact.

FBI Closes in on Anthrax Terrorist

Prime Suspect is a Zionist
by
Hector Carreon

La Voz de Aztlan

Los Angeles, Alta California - 2/26/2002 - (ACN)


Jewish microbiologist Dr. Philip M. Zack may be behind the deadly anthrax contaminated letters that were mailed to NBC's Tom Brokaw, Senator Tom Daschle and others, according to FBI sources. In a rapidly unravelling investigation by the FBI, it appears that the "Arab-hating-Jew" was behind a vile conspiracy to frame a colleague who was born in Egypt and who worked, along with Dr. Zack, at the U.S. Army's Medical Research Institute for Infectious Diseases in Fort Detrick, Md.



La Voz de Aztlan has maintained from the beginning that the anthrax-laced letters seemed contrived and were purposely written to make them appear that they were coming from someone in the Islamic World. New information just released by the FBI confirms our suspicions. On October 9, 2001 we published "Anthrax Terrorists may be Zionists" in which we outlined the reasons for our suspicions and in addition reported on a letter we received with a yellowish powder.


On October 24, 2001 we published an editorial "Anthrax Letter Messages Seem Contrived" in which we commented on our theory concerning the origin of the letters. We also published pictures of the three actual letters and envelopes. We have now compared the handwriting on these letters to the one we received and it looks suspiciously the same. We are not handwriting experts and have made the decision to publish the envelope and letter we received so that our readership can see for themselves. Our local police department never came to pick up the envelope and letter and we still have them in a double zip-lock plastic bag. The letter and envelope addressed to La Voz de Aztlan are published at http://www.aztlan.net/letterbiochem.htm

The case against Dr. Phillip M. Zack began unravelling when Egyptian-born scientist Dr. Ayaad Assaad, now a U.S. citizen, was called in by the FBI for an interview on October 2, 2001. The FBI had received an unsigned letter falsely accusing Dr. Assaad of being responsible for mailing the anthrax tainted letters. The letter stated, among other things, "Dr. Assaad is a potential biological terrorist," and "I have worked with Dr. Assaad, and I heard him say that he has a vendetta against the U.S. government and that if anything happens to him, he told his sons to carry on."



Rosemary A. McDermott, attorney for Dr. Assaad, stated that here is a very close connection between the person who sent that letter and the person who sent the anthrax. Ms. McDermott said "The person who wrote that letter knew intimate details of my client's life and his professional history, and about the Fort Detrick operation. I don't think that is a coincidence." The Fort Detrick biochemical research laboratory has maintained stores of weapons-grade anthrax that is commonly known as the Ames strain of Bacillus anthracis.


The anonymous letter falsely accusing Dr. Assaad was sent a little after the September 11 terrorist attacks but before anyone knew about the anthrax-laced letters. On October 5, 2001, about 10 days after the anonymous letter was mailed, Robert Stevens, Photo Editor of The Sun in Florida, became the first of five individuals to die from an anthrax infection.



The racist and bigoted attacks on Dr. Ayaad Assaad by Zionist Philip Zack and others started while he worked at the Army's bioweapons lab at Fort Detrick in Maryland during the 1990's. This is when a vicious racist vendetta was launched against the scientist of Arab descent. A group of coworkers led by then Army Lt. Col. Philip Zack began a hateful campaign to harass and get Dr. Assaad fired from his duties. The Zionists apparently wanted to get rid of anyone that could uncover their sinister plans which consisted in stealing "weapons grade anthrax" and other deadly viruses used in biological weapons.


The conspirators had the support of the lab's former commander. Among other things, the bigots wrote and passed around a very crude poem denigrating Arab Americans, an obscene rubber camel and constantly poked fun at Dr. Assaad's use of the English language. In 1991 Dr. Assaad discovered the eight-page poem in his mailbox. The poem was lewd and mocked Dr. Assaad. The poem also referred to the rubber camel that was passed around. It was outfitted with all manner of sexually explicit appendages. The poem in part read: ``In Assaad's honor we created this beast; it represents life lower than yeast.'' The bigots noted that the rubber camel will be given each week ``to who did the least.''


It appears that the conspirators created an extremely toxic workplace on purpose in order to take control of the laboratory. The lab became very dysfunctional and hostile to the few "good" scientists that worked there which included Dr. Assaad. Dr. Assaad said ``This person knew in advance what was going to happen and created a suitable, well-fitted scapegoat for this action. You do not need to be a Nobel laureate to put two and two together.'' Dr. Assaad said he reported everything to his supervisor, Col. David R. Franz, but that Colonel Franz ``kicked me out of his office and slammed the door in my face, because he didn't want to talk about it.'' Dr. Assaad was eventually dismissed by Colonel Franz as were two other scientists of Arab descent.


The evidence against the racist Zionist bigot Dr. Philip "Mengele" Zack is very strong. Lab specimens of anthrax spores, Ebola virus and other pathogens disappeared from the Army's biological warfare research facility in the early 1990s during the very same period that the conspirators were harassing Dr. Assaad. An 1992 inquiry into the disappearance of the deadly pathogens found evidence that someone was secretly entering the laboratory late at night to conduct unauthorized research involving anthrax. A numerical counter on a piece of lab equipment had been rolled back to hide work done by the mystery researcher.


A lab scientist, Dr. Mary Beth Downs, told investigators that she had come to work several times in 1992 to find that someone had been in the lab at odd hours to use the electron microscope to conduct some clandestine research. Dr. Downs reported in a memo that whoever was using the microscope was "either in a big hurry or didn't know what they were doing." Documents from the inquiry show that one unauthorized person who was observed entering the laboratory at night was Lt. Col. Philip Zack who at the time no longer worked at Fort Detrick. A surveillance camera recorded Lt. Col. Zack being let in at 8:40 P.M. on January 23, 1992, by another conspirator by the name Dr. Marian Rippy. Dr. Philip M. Zack has not been arrested.

How many knew that NIXON had JACK RUBY (Oswald murderer) working for him at HOUSE UN AMERICAN ACTIVITIES COMMITTEE?

"This FBI-document of 1947 recommends that "one Jack Rubenstein of Chicago" should not be called to testify for the Committee on Unamerican Activities, for he is working for Congressman Richard M. Nixon. According to the Warren Commission, Ruby had no connections with Oswald, Organized Crime or the Government. No wonder the header reads "This is sensitive".

Obama’s odious entourage


by Eric Walberg


Global Research,

November 26, 2008

Al-Ahram Weekly






Disappointment follows disappointment with each ‘new’ face, but there is a sort of silver lining.

Yes, we mustn’t expect too much. We all know it is the establishment that comes first in United States politics. Obama’s presidency could easily be sabotaged by the powers that put him there.

But still. He would never have made it past the first, obscure primary without his army of selfless, grassroots activists, and his coffers were first filled by millions of small, personal donations. Surely these are the people he should honour with at least a few names. Even Clinton had his Health and Human Services Secretary Donna Shalala (at least until she was tarred and feathered by the right). Obama’s one token progressive appointment was Melody Barnes of the Center for American Progress, who was chief counsel to Senator Edward Kennedy, and will head the toothless Domestic Policy Council.

Not one of the 23 Senators and 133 House Representatives who voted against the war in Iraq are on his transitional team or even on a short-list for an important post in his Cabinet. The only promise that might be kept is to close Guantanamo, though he could hardly do less. The entire US legal establishment seems to be pushing to end this outrage.



Keeping on uberhawk Robert Gates as secretary of war, despite the continued slaughter in Iraq and Afghanistan under his capable mismanagement, his uncompromising position on missiles for Poland, and his shady past (including Iran-Contra) gives little cause for hope. Russia can probably kiss improved relations with the US good-bye. It looks like there will be neocon policy as usual. Hillary Clinton as secretary of state just confirms this.


Yes, everyone in Washington is solidly Zionist, so Rahm Emanuel’s devotion to Israel hardly changes much, as John Zogby argues. But, how is it he served with the Israeli Defense Forces — during a war — and yet never served with the US military? As an American, if he did this for any other country but Israel, he would have been arrested and his political career over at once. Instead, he is honoured with the key role of the president’s chief of staff.



On a positive note, hinging that the domestic crimes against personal freedom perpetrated under Bush are not entirely forgotten, John Brennan, who supported extraordinary rendition and warrantless wiretapping, was forced to excuse himself in the race for CIA head. Still, no criminal charges against those who authorised or conducted torture during the Bush years are foreseen.

As Bloomberg notes, almost half the people on the Transition Economic Advisory Board “have held fiduciary positions at companies that, to one degree or another, either fried their financial statements, helped send the world into an economic tailspin, or both.” This includes, for example, Anne Mulcahy and Richard Parsons, both of whom were Fannie Mae directors when the company fudged accounting rules. Mulcahy and Parsons were executives of their respective companies, Xerox and Time Warner, and were charged with accounting fraud by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Also on this team is Robert Rubin, who as Bloomberg notes, was “chairman of Citigroup’s executive committee when the bank pushed bogus analyst research, helped Enron cook its books, and got caught baking its own. He was a director from 2000 to 2006 at Ford, which also committed accounting fouls and now is begging Uncle Sam for Citigroup-style bailout cash.”

Larry Summers, who was Clinton ’s treasury secretary, will head the National Economic Council — the president’s senior economic adviser. This looks ominous.


It was Summers who forced through the deregulation of financial markets in the 1990s and imposed disaster capitalism on Russia . Considering that he is a chief architect of the current financial meltdown, we should be wondering why Obama isn’t preparing an arrest warrant for him, instead of offering him the most powerful economic role in the world.


As chief economist for the World Bank, Summers wrote a memo saying the WB should actively encourage the dumping of toxic waste in developing countries, particularly “under-polluted countries in Africa,” since poor people in developing countries rarely live long enough to develop cancer, making him a particularly bizarre appointment for Obama. This contradiction will be interesting to watch unfold.



Summers, Timothy Geithner as treasury secretary, and Peter Orszag as budget director are all protégés of Robert Rubin, who held two of their jobs under President Bill Clinton. All three advisers are believers in what has been dubbed Rubin-omics: balanced budgets, free trade and financial deregulation, a combination that supposedly was responsible for the prosperity of the 1990s.


But times have changed since then. Rubin is facing questions about his role as director of Citigroup, which is the benefactor of the government’s latest bailout. Obama has pledged to introduce an era of re-regulation. Instead of balancing budgets, Obama plans a two-year fiscal stimulus worth hundreds of billions of dollars to aid the jobless, states and cities. “Everyone recognises that we’re looking at deficits of considerable magnitude,” said Jared Bernstein, an economist at the liberal Economic Policy Institute. “Whether it’s Bob Rubin, Larry Summers or the most conservative economist, that is a widely shared recognition.”


The list of establishment appointees to his transitional team devoted to “change” goes on and on, begging the question: Is this really the best he could come up with?

How about Nobel prize winners Joseph Stiglitz and Paul Krugman, or James K Galbraith, for starters? Someone who represents labour such as Arlene Holt Baker, executive vice president of the AFL-CIO? Something to suggest that change is really what this administration is about?

Remember Obama’s Bush moment, as they enthused about Bush’s bailout bill. Others, such as Senator Russ Feingold, realised the bill’s problems and voted against it. Feingold said that the Wall Street bailout legislation “fails to reform the flawed regulatory structure that permitted this crisis to arise in the first place. And it doesn’t do enough to address the root cause of the credit market collapse, namely the housing crisis. Taxpayers deserve a plan that puts their concerns ahead of those who got us into this mess.” Feingold was right. In short, Obama promised “Change we can believe in,” but it’s looking a lot more like “Business as usual.”


So far the only black to be appointed to a senior post is former deputy attorney general Eric Holder, will be attorney general. He is best known as the Chiquita Bananas lawyer who approved of president Bill Clinton’s pardon for Marc Rich, the blatantly corrupt financier whose former wife, Denise Rich, had contributed heavily to Clinton’s presidential library.

Despite the extreme disappointment that many are now experiencing, there are a few straws to grasp at. Emanuel was forced to apologise publically for his father’s now legendary anti-Arab remark about mopping floors in the White House, and this incident will act as a bell-weather for anti-Arab policies. Is this, plus the appointments of Gates, Summers and Clinton possibly a wily Obama “keeping his enemies close”?

Despite the inexorable march of the empire with a black commander-in-chief at the helm, at least the Cabinet is filled with competent people, some — like Clinton — with considerable authority and prestige around the world. Holder seems to be genuinely against torture and hostile to the concept of the imperial presidency. Obama himself is intelligent and will not have circles spun around him as did Bush, nor will he take five-week vacations and rely on comic book memos for snap decisions to go to war.

Despite his team’s credentials as Rubin-omists, they are hard at work on a huge fiscal stimulus package and further tightening of government regulations on banks and the financial sector. Conservation and the long-overdue move away from fossil fuels are high on the agenda. These bureaucrats are not fools (like Bush, Rice and many others in the current administration), and taking a leaf from president Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal administration, will not be afraid to borrow from the liberal handbook as the need arises.

What the progressives in the US must now do is mobilise, mobilise, mobilise, and articulate a clear, cogent agenda for real change. The old adage holds true more than ever: No pain — no gain.

It seems the only thing we can truly feel some exhilaration for at this point is the fact that Obama’s father was a black Muslim and his mother an altruistic humanitarian who truly loved other cultures and devoted her life to better understanding among peoples. Let us hope for some sign that their spirit lives on in their son to help fight off the demons who surround him at present. Perhaps a good old-fashioned African exorcism is in order.

More proof OBAMA is a puppet and shamelessly uninformed about GATES COVERING UP DOD CIFA UNIT MURDERS IN SOUTH DAKOTA

Gates Expected to Remain at Defense

By Michael D. Shear and Ann Scott Tyson



Secretary of Defense Robert M. Gates is expected to stay on at the Pentagon for at least a year after Barack Obama takes office, providing the new president with a Republican presence in his cabinet and a familiar face to lead troops during two ongoing wars, sources close to the Obama transition team said.

"The betting money is heading that direction, and it's possible it is a done deal," said one source close to the team. "I think it is going that way -- many do -- including some who are surprised."

Some sources described a "rolling transition," where Gates would remain during an overlapping changeover of key political appointees at the Pentagon. Others said he could remain in the job indefinitely.


Under both scenarios, most of the deputies serving under Gates at the Pentagon would be replaced, the sources said.

Pentagon press secretary Geoff Morrell yesterday did not confirm that Gates had agreed to stay, but reiterated that Gates had never ruled out the option. "He has deliberately never precluded the possibility of continuing to serve if needed," said Morrell. "It would be out of character to do so now."

But, he added, Gates's preference "is to return home."

Obama aides declined to comment Tuesday. The president-elect plans to announce members of his national security team early next week, bringing together a bipartisan group that is almost certain to include Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) as Secretary of State and retired Gen. James L. Jones, a former Marine, as national security adviser.

John Brennan withdraws name from consideration as CIA director


Lawrence Jackson /


Associated Press

The controversy over John Brennan complicates Barack Obama’s efforts to have a smooth transition on intelligence matters.
Liberal groups opposed Barack Obama's top choice for the job. The move complicates his administration's efforts to have a smooth transition on intelligence matters.

By Greg Miller

November 26, 2008

Reporting from Washington -- The leading candidate to be CIA director for President-elect Barack Obama withdrew from consideration Tuesday amid mounting opposition from liberal groups, marking the first time that the incoming administration appeared to bow to outside pressure on a high-level appointment.

Anybody at MSM faggot land...want to actually do some journalism with sources cited?

I noticed how the KIKE MOSSAD DOD faggots at RANDI RHODES DISCUSSION FORUM always maligned WAYNE MADSEN REPORT claiming that "...he does not cite sources...".

So...who is the source of this bogus spin?

Is it RAHMBO?

WHAT DID THIS GUY BRENNAN HAVE TO DO WITH CHIPPING, MIND CONTROL, TORTURE OF THOMAS S.

The withdrawal of John Brennan, former director of the National Counterterrorism Center and the top intelligence advisor to Obama, complicates the next administration's desire to have a smooth transition on intelligence matters at a time when U.S. spy agencies are involved in two wars and confront the ongoing threat of Al Qaeda.


In a pointed letter to Obama, Brennan removed his name from consideration even while lashing out at critics, whom he accused of distorting his record on the controversial intelligence policies of the Bush administration.

"It has been immaterial to the critics that I have been a strong opponent of many of the policies of the Bush administration, such as the preemptive war in Iraq and coercive interrogation tactics, to include waterboarding," Brennan said, referring to a widely condemned interrogation method in which a detainee is made to feel he is drowning.

"The fact that I was not involved in the decision-making process for any of these controversial policies and actions has been ignored," Brennan said.

..."John Brennan, chief executive officer of the Analysis Corp., [was] rumored to be a possible candidate for CIA director in the Obama administration, reports The Washington Post.

Brennan is a former top CIA official who helped establish the National Counterterrorism Center in 2004. He left the agency in 2005 to become CEO of Analysis Corp. ...

Ironically, in March, an Analysis Corp. employee working at the State Department was accused of improperly accessing Barack Obama’s passport file. In a statement at the time, Analysis Corp. said, “We deeply regret that the incident occurred and believe it is an isolated incident.” ...

He served as an advisor to the Obama campaign on national security and is the head of Obama’s intelligence transition team. ..."...

_____________________



Brennan was responding to criticism from an array of outside groups that had begun lobbying the Obama team to find another candidate for the top CIA job.

In a letter sent to Obama last week and signed by dozens of psychologists opposed to harsh interrogation methods, Brennan was described as a "supporter of the 'dark side' policies" of the Bush administration.

The group noted that Brennan had held senior positions under former CIA Director George J. Tenet. A Brennan appointment "would dishearten and alienate those who opposed torture under the Bush administration," they said.

Brennan spent a 25-year career in the U.S. intelligence community, serving in a series of high-level posts. Most recently, he was head of the National Counterterrorism Center, which was created in the efforts after the Sept. 11 attacks to improve coordination among the nation's 16 spy agencies on threat data.

He left the government in 2005, and has served as chief executive of the Analysis Corp., a Washington-area consulting firm.

Obama's decisions on intelligence are being watched closely because of the controversy over Bush administration policies and the possibility that U.S. interrogators may require legal protection against prosecution for their use of harsh methods. Transition officials have signaled that Obama is unlikely to pursue prosecutions, but President Bush is believed to be considering preemptive pardons.

Current and former U.S. intelligence officials voiced concern that Brennan's withdrawal suggested a standard within the Obama camp that might disqualify any candidate who had recent ties to the nation's preeminent spy agency.

"If you want an intelligence professional -- and they seem to be leaning in that direction -- you're left with somebody who hasn't worked there for eight years," said a senior Democratic aide in Congress. "I don't know who fits that bill."

Stephanie Cutter, a spokeswoman for Obama's transition team, said the president-elect had accepted Brennan's decision.

"John Brennan has served our nation with honor and is a man of talent and integrity," Cutter said, adding that Obama "is grateful" for Brennan's transition work.

It was unclear whether Brennan had been pressured or asked to submit his letter of withdrawal. A former senior U.S. intelligence official close to Brennan indicated that Brennan was pushed.

"John's not the kind of guy who would run away from a fight," said the former official, who spoke on condition of anonymity when sharing personal observations. "And he's very comfortable with his past actions and positions and views. I think he would have stood up well in any confirmation process."

One official on the Obama transition team said that it was Brennan's choice to bow out, and that he had not been asked to withdraw. The official noted that the campaign had staunchly supported other controversial candidates, including economic advisor Lawrence H. Summers, who came under fire for comments he made as president of Harvard University that were considered demeaning to women.

But a Democrat knowledgeable about the transition said that "it would have been too much" for the Obama team to bring in an official seen as too close to the disputed practices of the Bush administration. Such a choice would have alienated not only hard-core Democratic supporters who expect change, but allies in the Arab world, Europe and elsewhere who expect a clean break from the Bush era.

Critics seized on Brennan's comments defending former CIA colleagues after he left government.

But the former senior U.S. intelligence official said that because of the positions Brennan held, he was never directly involved in the intelligence controversies of the Bush era.

TOMMY: THEN WHY THE FUCK IS THIS GUY ASKED TO RESIGN HIS APPOINTMENT?

"He wouldn't have been involved in setting up or administering programs for interrogation or rendition," another senior former CIA official said, also speaking on condition of anonymity.

Brennan indicated in his letter that his opposition to the Bush administration policies had cost him job promotions. "I was twice considered for more senior-level positions in the current administration only to be rebuffed by the White House" for resisting its policies, he said.

JUDGE SANDERS calls MOSSAD'S MUKASY a "tyrant"...resulting in a heart attack?

State justice confirms he yelled "Tyrant!" at Mukasey before AG collapsed

Washington State Supreme Court Justice Richard Sanders admits that he yelled "Tyrant!" at U.S. Attorney General Michael Mukasey during a Federal Society speech in which Mukasey later collapsed at the podium.

By Ken Armstrong

Seattle Times staff reporter


Richard Sanders, a justice on the Washington State Supreme Court, has never been one to shy from controversy or blunt language. And last week, as he sat at a Federalist Society dinner and listened to Attorney General Michael Mukasey, Sanders reached his tipping point.

After listening to Mukasey defend the Bush administration's counterterrorism policies — its detainment practices at Guantánamo Bay, its interpretation of the Geneva Conventions' reach — Sanders stood and shouted "Tyrant! You are a tyrant!"

"Frankly, everybody in the room was applauding or sometimes laughing, and I thought, 'I've got to stand up and say something.' And I did," Sanders told The Seattle Times Tuesday. "I stood up and said, 'Tyrant,' then I sat down again, then I left."

It wasn't until the next morning — when he turned on the TV in his hotel room — that Sanders learned what happened after he departed: Mukasey, later in his speech, began slurring his words, slumped at the podium and passed out. He was taken to a hospital, where he was released the next day after getting a clean bill of health.

"I couldn't believe it," Sanders said of the news that Mukasey had fainted.

________________




Mukasey's collapse occurred well after Sanders shouted at him, and the two events appear unrelated.

The dinner, which took place in Washington, D.C., on Thursday, was hosted by the Federalist Society, a prominent collection of conservative judges and lawyers. Sanders, a state Supreme Court justice since 1995, belongs to the group.

In the initial days after the event, Sanders, when questioned by other reporters, danced around whether he was the person who shouted at Mukasey. He wouldn't confirm it, nor would he deny it.

But on Tuesday, Sanders told The Seattle Times that he'd simply reached the point where he couldn't remain silent.

"Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine there would be any mention of this in the press," he said. "But here we are."

The state's Code of Judicial Conduct requires judges to be "dignified" toward those they deal with "in their official capacity."

Asked if his outburst might violate that code, Sanders said: "Well, it's so open-ended and vague, maybe someone would think that it could apply. I don't know. I think it's a free-speech activity. In my mind this had nothing to do with my role as a judge."



Asked if it was dignified, Sanders said: "I think it was an impulse. ... At that particular time, I didn't have a chance to reflect on it. I didn't plan it out in advance. It just happened."

He left before Mukasey's speech was finished, Sanders said, because "I wasn't enjoying myself."

Sanders said he wouldn't call what he did heckling. Afterward, he said, he heard from a number of people — some supportive, others not. "Some people think it was the wrong thing to do," he said. "To other people, it was heroic."

Sanders said he now regrets what he did: "If I had it to do over again, I wouldn't."

Alternatively, he wishes he had said "Tyranny" instead of "Tyrant," "because in my mind, these policies can lead to tyranny."

Three years ago, Sanders was admonished — the state's least severe disciplinary action for judges — for violating the judicial-ethics rules in connection with a visit to the state's sex-offender treatment center on McNeil Island. The visit prompted a variety of concerns because judges are prohibited from speaking with litigants about their cases outside the courtroom.

During the visit, the Judicial Conduct Commission alleged, Sanders talked to sexual offenders and accepted documents from two of them.

In 1997, Sanders was reprimanded for speaking at a rally for abortion opponents, but that sanction was later overturned by an appellate panel.

Sanders said he took offense at what he believed was Mukasey's cavalier attitude toward the Geneva Conventions.

In his speech, Mukasey said that almost every article in the treaty is "plainly addressed to armed conflicts among the nations that signed the Conventions. It is hardly surprising that the United States concluded that those provisions would not apply to the armed conflict against al-Qaida, an international terrorist group and not, the last time I checked, a signatory to the Conventions."

Sanders, on Tuesday, said that being a signatory was beside the point. "I didn't sign the Geneva Conventions, you didn't sign the Geneva Conventions, but the United States did sign the Conventions. And that's the point, isn't it?"

He also took umbrage at the Bush administration's detention policies at Guantánamo Bay in Cuba, saying: "I think it's a disgrace to hold people without charge, without trial, to hold them incommunicado."

DOJ Releases Hatfill Documents

By Zachary Roth - November 25, 2008, 4:19PM

The Associated Press reports:


The Justice Department has released hundreds of documents that it used to falsely accuse scientist Steven J. Hatfill of masterminding the 2001 anthrax attacks.

The documents were unsealed Tuesday following last week's federal court order to do so. They show the FBI seized clothing, financial records, VHS tapes, books and other papers from Hatfill's home in Frederick, Md.

Hatfill originally was named a person of interest in the anthrax attacks. But the Justice Department cleared him last summer after switching its focus to another suspect, Bruce Ivins.


Some of the court documents can be found here. We'll bring you the rest as soon as DOJ makes them available.

The New York Times and Los Angeles Times had sued to have the Hatfill documents released.

Report: Bushies Who Approved Torture Likely Won't Get Pre-Emptive Pardons


By Zachary Roth - November 25, 2008, 5:34PM


The White House is unlikely to grant sweeping pardons to former Bush administration officials who may have encouraged or enabled torture in approving harsh interrogation methods for terror suspects, reports the Wall Street Journal.

Some Republicans have been pushing for President Bush to grant the pardons before he leaves office. But White House officials point to opinions put out by the Justice Department that supported the administration's methods, and say that pardons -- which would no doubt draw fire from congressional Democrats and other administration critics -- are unnecessary.

Spitzer Probe May Not Be Prime Focus Of House Inquiry, After All

By Zachary Roth - November 26, 2008, 11:48AM


The news that a House committee plans to look into the events that led to that fateful investigation of Eliot Spitzer may have some observers licking their chops in anticipation of finding out whether the probe was politically motivated payback for the governor's targeting of Wall Street.

That notion has persisted, despite little concrete evidence, almost since the news of Spitzer's tryst with Ashley Dupre first surfaced in March.

But don't get too excited just yet. Steve Adamske, a spokesman for Rep. Barney Frank -- who, as chair of the House Financial Services committee will run the inquiry -- told TPMmuckraker in an interview that in fact the effort won't be designed primarily to look at that question. Rather, said Adamske, it will focus on the somewhat drier subject of whether increased scrutiny by the Treasury Department of banking transactions, as required by the Patriot Act, is an effective counter-terrorism tool. Banks have in the past complained about the increased paperwork required by the law, arguing that in addition to being burdensome, it does little to help fight terrorism.

Stealing MINNESOTA VOTES: Franken's Senate run

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/11/24/franken-camp-calls-for-in_n_146140.html


Al Franken's Senate campaign called on the Minnesota Secretary of State to launch a comprehensive investigation into the possibility of missing ballots in the state's recount election.

In a conference call with reporters on Monday, aides to the Democratic challenger said that they were growing increasingly concerned with news reports that ballots from Election Day -- which by state law must be recounted -- have gone missing.

"The number of votes counted on November 4th," said spokesman Andy Barr, "exceeds the number of ballots produced for consideration during the recount."

Marc Elias, Franken's chief lawyer, said that the campaign was not alleging foul play, noting that many of these missing ballots could be the product of administrative oversight or simple misplacement. But, with the election margin down to double digits (according to the Franken campaign's internal numbers, which they would not detail) he added that every single vote was of the utmost importance.

"[Missing ballots] should be a serious matter for cause and concern. That is why today we are calling on the Secretary of State to launch an investigation to find these ballots and make sure they are counted... to immediately instruct local elected officials to redouble their efforts to find all missing ballots," said Elias. "We know this is a close election... in an election this close we cannot let any lawful vote go uncounted."

The Coleman campaign, too, has said that reports of missing ballots should be taking seriously -- and there is little indication that these missing ballots would benefit one candidate or another. For example, on Friday, 74 ballots were discovered missing in St. Louis County, only to be found in a locked counting machine inside a warehouse. The county auditor said that the ballots contained votes for Franken and Coleman. On Thursday, meanwhile, the Center for Election Integrity MN reported that 243 ballots had gone missing in Robbinsdale County, only to be later found. Of that bunch 143 were votes for Franken, 140 for Coleman.

Those cases, however, have been successfully solved. In a memo to the Secretary of State, David Lillehaug, another attorney for the Franken campaign, claimed that there were still five missing ballots in Clay County, three in St. Louis, and 13 in Washington County.

"In an election this close," he added, "these discrepancies should be cause for serious concern to every Minnesota voter."

Panel Asks How Inquiry Began on Spitzer Banking


By DANNY HAKIM

Published: November 25, 2008




ALBANY — Eight months after a federal investigation into a prostitution ring brought about the downfall of Gov. Eliot Spitzer, the question still persists in some circles: Was the federal government out to get Mr. Spitzer?

No evidence has surfaced to support such an assertion, and the prosecutor in the case has said that politics played no role in the pursuit of Mr. Spitzer, a Democrat. But that has not put to rest suspicions, expressed on left wing blogs, that Mr. Spitzer, a zealous pursuer of Wall Street wrongdoing who some thought could one day be president, had been singled out.

a New York cop tied to state police...knew too much. He is very dead right now.

Now, a congressional committee is pursuing what would be the first public examination of the events that prompted the initial inquiry into his bank transactions, which showed he was sending money to a front company for Emperor’s Club V.I.P.

The House Financial Services Committee intends to take up the matter early next year and tentatively plans to hold hearings that could include testimony from the United States Treasury’s law enforcement unit, along with Mr. Spitzer’s bank, North Fork, and HSBC, a bank used by a company connected to the prostitution service.

“The question was: Why were they looking for this? Is this political retribution?” said Representative Michael E. Capuano, a Massachusetts Democrat and a member of the committee who has been critical of the increased scrutiny of banking transactions, which increased greatly under the passage of the Patriot Act.

“It raises questions in my mind that he may have been targeted for political purposes,” he said, adding that he had no evidence that suggested as much.

____________________

tommy: DUMSFIELD AND CHENEY know about DOD CIFA UNIT RUNNING MIND CONTROL.

_____________________



The committee’s interest in the matter surfaced in e-mail messages obtained by The New York Times as part of a Freedom of Information request.

The Democrats who lead the committee were not asked to pursue the inquiry by Mr. Spitzer, committee officials said, and did not have close ties to the former governor. Indeed, one of the members of the committee who initially pressed for information about the case in a letter last summer is Republican Steven C. LaTourette of Ohio, who has taken an active interest in banking issues.

The office of the United States attorney for the Southern District of New York, Michael J. Garcia, declined to comment. Because Mr. Garcia said earlier this month that no charges would be pursued against Mr. Spitzer in the case, the committee’s work may represent the only forum in which to untangle the mystery of how the former governor ended up in the middle of a law enforcement rarity: a federal investigation into an adult prostitution ring.

Mr. Garcia, in an interview with The Times earlier this month, disputed the notion that Mr. Spitzer had been selected for prosecution by Republican administration officials and said the investigation began only after his office learned of questionable payments made by Mr. Spitzer to a front company for the prostitution ring. “That’s how it came up,” Mr. Garcia said. “That is how it started.”

A spokeswoman for Mr. Spitzer declined to comment.

The committee also plans to more broadly examine the government’s practice of reviewing hundreds of thousands of suspicious activity reports filed by banks each year and whether such reports are being used appropriately.

Use of such reports was expanded by the Patriot Act and has previously been a subject of inquiry for the House Financial Services Committee, whose chairman is Representative Barney Frank. The committee made its initial inquiries into the Spitzer case over the summer, but its review has been put on hold amid the financial crisis. The committee has played a central role in oversight of the federal bailout of Wall Street.

Mr. Frank, Mr. Capuano and two other lawmakers signed a letter sent in July to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, a branch of the Treasury Department that serves as a repository of financial intelligence. The letter was also signed by Representative Melvin L. Watt, a North Carolina Democrat who is chairman of a subcommittee on oversight and investigations, and Mr. LaTourette.

The lawmakers asked for answers to a series of detailed questions about the use of suspicious activity reports, or SARS, in the Spitzer case, including whether the case was “precipitated by a ‘tip’ to a law enforcement agency by some person(s) outside the law enforcement or banking community.” Among the other questions: “Was there an investigation of Governor Spitzer in progress before any SAR was filed?” and whether similar transactions made by a “nonpolitical, nonpublic person triggered the filing of a SAR by a bank.”

The letter also seeks a detailed timeline of when and to whom the suspicious activity reports were filed and whether they were expedited or treated in any unusual way.

“Obviously we wouldn’t have written the letter if we didn’t have questions about it,” Mr. Watt said.

The letter said: “We anticipate holding congressional hearings on this subject,” and two top committee staff members said those hearings would likely take place early next year.

Mr. Frank, through a spokesman, declined to comment.

James H. Freis Jr., the director of the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, the Treasury’s law enforcement arm, wrote the legislators in September and told them that “given the sensitivity of your inquiry, we would prefer to respond in person rather than in writing.”

Stephen Hudak, a spokesman for the Crimes Enforcement Network, said, “We’re not giving any comment beyond the letter that Director Freis wrote.”

Banks are required to file suspicious activity reports if they notice any of a variety of red flags when customers make large transactions. For instance, federal guidelines say that banks should file a report when a customer makes $5,000 worth of transactions — deposits, wire transfers or withdrawals — if the particular transaction is out of the norm of the customer’s typical behavior or if it appears to be structured to evade any particular regulation.

A number of federal law enforcement agencies, including the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Internal Revenue Service, the F.B.I. and Immigration and Customs Enforcement, have access to the reports and periodically examine them.

News reports in the days after Mr. Spitzer was first identified as a client of the prostitution ring provided a window into how the investigation began. In July 2007, North Fork Bank filed a report about a series of wire transfers totaling about $10,000 made by one of its customers, Mr. Spitzer, to QAT International, a shell company. The transfers appeared to be intended to avoid a disclosure requirement for a larger single transaction.

The report went unnoticed for several months, however, until another bank, HSBC, filed reports about suspicious activities by QAT International and another shell company, QAT Consulting Group, that were connected to Emperor’s Club. It was the second report that prompted the investigation and drew interest to the previous report involving Mr. Spitzer.

An official at HSBC declined to comment. Capitol One, which now owns North Fork, did not return a call for comment. Officials at the Internal Revenue Service also declined to comment.

One of Mr. Spitzer’s last appearances in Washington was before a subcommittee of the House Financial Services Committee — a hearing on bond insurance.

It was on that trip that Mr. Spitzer stayed at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington, where he had the encounter that would lead to his resignation a month later.

N.Y. escort worker gets probation in Spitzer case






NEW YORK (AP) — A woman who helped arrange trysts for a $5,500-an-hour escort service was sentenced Tuesday to one year of probation for her part in the prostitution scandal that forced Eliot Spitzer to step down as New York's governor.
Tanya Robin Hollander of Rhinebeck, N.Y., pleaded guilty on Aug. 25 to a prostitution conspiracy and could have faced up to a year in prison.




But Judge Deborah A. Batts took a more lenient view of the case. Batts said Hollander had played a less substantial role than the government had asserted, and the judge factored in the Nov. 6 decision by federal prosecutors not to bring criminal charges against Spitzer.
________________________

TOMMY:


The Democrats need to supoena this witness.

When the snitch gets no jail time...you can bet the cops had something to do with that. Focus on dates...and go after the cops who will lie under oath.

_________________________



"We are extremely pleased with the judge's view of this case and the sentence she imposed," Hollander's lawyer, Michael Farkas, said after the short hearing. "The judge's view of this case was much more consistent with reality than the government's."

Hollander is the first defendant to be sentenced in the case of the Emperors Club VIP, a prostitution ring that arranged sexual encounters for wealthy men around the world for prices as high as $5,500 an hour. The 36-year-old Hollander served as a booking agent, meaning she took phone calls from clients looking for sex and hooked them up with the ring's network of prostitutes.

The takedown of the ring became national front-page news when it was revealed that one of the clients was none other than Spitzer, a married father of three who had met an Emperors Club prostitute named Ashley Alexandra Dupre the day after Valentine's Day in a Washington hotel. He resigned a month later.

Authorities could have charged Spitzer with violating the Mann Act, a federal law that bans carrying women or girls across state lines for "prostitution or debauchery, or for any other immoral purpose."

But legal experts say the law is rarely used to prosecute johns.

Dupre's lawyer said he didn't think his client would face criminal prosecution, and it does not appear that the government is going after any of the 50 prostitutes who worked for the ring.

"We have no reason to believe she will be charged," said Don D. Buchwald.

Dupre, 23, recently broke her silence, giving lengthy interviews to a magazine and television program, but she has declined to discuss details of her paid date with Spitzer or how many times she slept with the former governor.

The judge's decision to give Hollander only probation was a minor setback for the government, which had sought a harsher sentence. Federal prosecutor Daniel L. Stein said in court that Hollander spent 10 months working at the escort service, suggesting her conduct was not "aberrant."

The four people who were charged in the case have all pleaded guilty.

Hollander did not talk to reporters after the hearing. She is a holistic health counselor who started working with the agency to pick up some extra cash.

Summer wildfire battles costs astronomical

Costly in terms of lives lost and resources damaged, the wildfires that raged this summer in Northern California also rang up an astronomical financial total.

Cost of fighting the fires, for both state and federal agencies, is about $676 million - although exact figures are not available.

"We are still in the process of paying bills," said Sharon Heywood, supervisor for the Shasta-Trinity National Forest.

She said she won't know precisely how much was spent fighting fires on U.S. Forest Service land until February, but her estimate now is $150 million.

Like the Shasta-Trinity, 13 other national forests in Northern California had major fires sparked by a massive electrical storm in June. The combined cost of those 14 fires is more than $472 million, said John Heil, a spokesman for the Forest Service's regional office, which covers the entire state.

He said the fire season likely will be one of the most expensive ever once all the bills are totaled.

"We've never seen anything like this in terms of acreage burned," Heil said.

Statewide more than a million acres managed by the Forest Service have burned this year, he said, many in the fires caused by June's ferocious thunderstorm.

Forest officials for months have said they were in the process of tallying the expenses from the fires and that a breakdown of the costs would be available once that was done. But last week, Jason Kirchner, a Forest Service spokesman, said the information won't be released unless the Record Searchlight files a federal Freedom of Information Act request.

The newspaper plans to do so.

He said the Forest Service has required other newspapers, such as the Los Angeles Times, to file such requests to garner detailed cost information on Southern California fires. It took the Forest Service eight months to comply with the Times' request, he said.

"The more detail you want, the longer it takes to get," Kirchner said.

The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection also is tight with a breakdown of their costs.

"These ones won't be ready for awhile," said Janet Upton, spokeswoman at Cal Fire's Sacramento headquarters.

Overall, Cal Fire spent about $204 million fighting the June lightning-sparked fires that blackened about 300,000 acres in Northern California, she said.

In a typical fiscal year, the agency spends about $225 million fighting fires across the state, Upton said. This year's June fire siege alone came close to matching that.

"That's pretty remarkable," she said.

LOS ANGELES and SAN BERNARDINO (CBS) ―


A U.S. Forest Service arson investigator, who is currently in jail for allegedly threatening public officials, was also viewed as a possible "firefighter arsonist" for dozens of suspicious blazes in Riverside, San Bernardino and Los Angeles counties, it was reported Saturday.

Court records show that a rash of arsons that hit the mountains north of Santa Clarita ended when a federal arson investigator was transferred out of the area, and that arson investigator is now in jail on charges he threatened California Sen. Barbara Boxer and Rep. Mary Bono Mack, the Riverside Press-Enterprise reported Saturday.

Michael Karl McNeil, 35, has also been linked to a string of arsons that cropped up near Beaumont after he was transferred there.

A U.S. Forest Service special agent's report on McNeil is being used as evidence by an attorney defending another man on murder and arson charges from the 2006 Esperanza fire, that killed five firefighters near Idyllwild. Raymond Lee Oyler, 35, could get the death penalty.

The attorney told the newspaper that the string of arsons now being linked to the disgraced federal arson investigator casts doubt on the case against Oyler.

The secret report, written by a Forest Service special agent, says an unprecedented rash of 37 arsons broke out when McNeil was assigned to the Saugus Ranger District at Oak Flat Station in the Angeles National Forest in 2001.

"While McNeil was a firefighter ... McNeil lived in Palmdale and the 37 arson fires occurred along various routes between Oak Flat Station and Palmdale," the report states. "After McNeil left the Saugus Ranger District (in 2003 and 2004), no arson fires occurred," according to the report, as quoted by the Press-Enterprise.

Local firefighters suspected the federal arson investigator had actually set the blazes, but could not prove it, the report said.

The confidential report portrays a man with a checkered past whose claims to be an arson investigator and firefighter were doubted by professionals around him, according to the Press-Enterprise.

McNeil started as a volunteer firefighter in Utah in 1996 and was later fired, according to the report. On three or four occasions, he reported wildland fires, was first on the scene, and found an arson device, and after the last such incident he was confronted, questioned and dismissed, according to the Press-Enterprise.

From June 2005 to July 2007 McNeil worked as a fire prevention technician for the San Bernardino National Forest in the San Jacinto Ranger District, assigned to the Banning Pass Fire Station, according to the report.

The number of arsons in that area jumped after McNeil arrived.

During his assignment there, Forest Service officials became suspicious of McNeil's background, his claims of experience as an arson investigator, and the coincidence of his arrival and the increase of arson fires, according to the Press-Enterprise.

The newspaper reported that a CalFire enforcement officer had spotted McNeil stopped in his official car, near an arson-set fire, as firefighters rushed to a blaze in Whitewater Canyon in Palm Springs. Other officers reported that McNeil often was the first person to arrive at arsons, often beating the nearest fire trucks to the crimes.

McNeil was being held on a 36-count arson and terrorist threat complaint on $2.88 million bail at the Twin Towers Correctional Facility. His next next court date is Dec. 4 at the Alhambra Courthouse, 150 W. Commonwealth Ave., Alhambra. There is also a hold for McNeil from Lassen County in Northern California, according to sheriff's records.

When Indian Reservations...CIA...neutron bombs...OKCITY false flag...Osama Bin Laden all COME TOGETHER BRIEFLY

http://www.orlingrabbe.com/binladin_timosman.htm

When Osama Bin Laden Was Tim Osman

by J. Orlin Grabbe





.....However, Michael and his father Marshall Riconosciuto, a friend of Richard Nixon, continued to run the Hercules Research Corporation. In the early 1980s Michael also served as the Director of Research for a joint venture between the Wackenhut Corporation of Coral Gables, Florida, and the Cabazon Band of Indians in Indio, California. Riconosciuto's talents were much in demand.

He had created the a-neutronic bomb (or "Electro-Hydrodynamic Gaseous Fuel Device"), which sank the ground level of the Nevada test site by 30 feet when a prototype was tested. Samuel Cohen, the inventor of the neutron bomb, said of Riconosciuto: "I've spoken to Michael Riconosciuto (the inventor of the a-neutronic bomb) and he's an extraordinarily bright guy. I also have a hunch, which I can't prove, that they both (Riconosciuto and Lavos, his partner) indirectly work for the CIA."

Riconosciuto's bomb made suitcase nukes obsolete, because it achieved near-atomic explosive yields, but could be more easily minaturized. You could have a suitcase a-neutronic bomb, or a briefcase a-neutronic bomb, or simply a lady's purse a-neutronic bomb. Or just pull out your wallet for identification and —. The Meridian Arms Corporation, as well as the Universities of California and Chicago owned a piece of the technology.


But there was more than explosives in the portfolios of the CIA agents who surrounded Riconosciuto like moths around a candle. Both Robert Booth Nichols, the shady head of Meridian Arms Corporation (with both CIA and organized crime conections), and Dr. John Phillip Nichols, the manager of the Cabazon reservation, were involved in bio-warfare work—the first in trying to sell bio-warfare products to the army through Wackenhut, the second in giving tribal permission for research to take place at Cabazon.

According to Riconosciuto, the Pentagon's Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) was in charge of the classified contracts for biological warfare research. Riconosciuto would later testify under oath that Stormont Laboratories (which did research on the genetics of blood type and which was founded by this man) was involved in the DARPA-Wackenhut-Cabazon project.

Jonathan Littman, a reporter for the San Francisco Chronicle would relate: "Cabazons and Wackenhut appeared to be acting as middlemen between the Pentagon's DARPA and Stormont Laboratories, a small facility in Woodland near Sacramento."


The Race Weapon


Riconosciuto would make additional claims about Bio-Rad corporation, a medical supplier which had gradually taken over Hercules, California. They were also, Riconosciuto would say, covertly engaged in bio-warfare research—producing some of the deadliest toxins known to man. The focus of Bio-Rad's research was said to be bio-active elements that could be tailored to attack those with certain types of DNA. Weapons could thus be produced that were specifically designed to wipe out specific races or genetic classes of human beings. (Alternatively, particular DNA types could be immunized against a deadly biological agent; the agent could then be released, and everyone else would die.)


A couple of years later, Meridian International Logistics, the parent company of Meridian Arms, was to farm similar research out to the Japanese. This included (according to minutes of a corporate meeting dated Aug. 26, 1988) methods for "induction and activation of cytotoxic T-lymphocytes".

Associated with Meridian's Robert Booth Nichols in a Middle Eastern operation called FIDCO, a company that ran arms into and heroin out of Lebanon's Beqaa (Bekaa) Valley, was Harold Okimoto, a high-ranking member of the Yakuza. Okimoto had longed worked under Frank Carlucci (who served as Secretary of Defense and Deputy Director of the CIA before becoming Chairman of The Carlyle Group). Okimoto owned food concessions in casinos around the world—Las Vega, Reno, Macao, and the Middle East. (Free drinks and anthrax while you play blackjack, anyone?)


Meeting Riconosciuto and Gunderson at the hotel were two representatives of the mujahadeen, waiting to discuss their armament needs. One of the two was named "Ralph Olberg." The other one was called Tim Osman (or Ossman).


"Ralph Olberg" was an American businesman who was leading the procurement of American weapons and technology on behalf of the Afghan rebels. He worked through the Afghan desk at the U.S. State Department, as well as through Senator Hubert Humphrey's office. Olberg looked after the Afghanis through a curious front called MSH—Management Sciences for Health.

The other man, dressed in Docker's clothing, was not a native Afghan any more than Olberg was. He was a 27-year-old Saudi. Tim Osman (Ossman) has recently become better known as Osama Bin Laden. "Tim Osman" was the name assigned to him by the CIA for his tour of the U.S. and U.S. military bases, in search of political support and armaments.

Gunderson and Riconosciuto were not on an altruistic mission. They had some conditions for their help. And they had some bad news to deliver. The mujahadeen needed to be willing to test new weapons in the field and to return a research report, complete with photos.

The bad news was that some factions of the CIA didn't feel that Oldberg and Osman's group were the real representatives of the Afghans. Upon hearing this both Tim and Ralph were indignant. They wanted to mount a full-court press. Round up other members of their group and do a congressional and White House lobbying effort in Washington, D.C............."

Micronuclear Devices Used in OKC Bombing: Explosives Placed by FBI, ATF



Sent to Jesse Trentadue, Atty re Suit Against FBI and US Gov't for Wrongful Death of His Brother by FBI in 1995 around OKC Gov't Sponsored Bombings


Dr. Bill Deagle MD | September 8 2004




In 1995 I worked at Penrose St. Francis Hospital in Colorado Springs, as an Occupational Physician for CCOM. We had many of the most classified contracts in the Colorado Springs area, including Falcon Air Force Base program employees, NORAD employees and classified ATMEL and Symbios Logic, etc. EMP proof and Supercomputer chip classified manufacturers.

My director, Dr. George Swinder MD, was unavailable when the Military Expert Forensic team was sent from Fort Carson to Oklahoma city and was just returning to the Springs for exit examinations. This duty fell to me to perform exit physicals and testing, for all five members of the team. One of the team requested sperm testing, stating, "I want to have kids." I replied sarcastically, " Go ahead, and have kids." He said, "No, you don't understand." I said, "What do you mean?" "Doc, you really don't know what happened at Oklahoma City do you?" I said, "Well I heard that an ammonium nitrate bomb was reported to have exploded killing 168 people."


He leaned forward, "See this rash on my arms, and chest, and legs. Check me doc. I want all the blood tests and do a sperm test." I was irritated now, "Now just a minute, I'm the doctor. If you don't come clean and tell me what you were exposed to I can't possibly know what type of tests to order. I was a biochemisty major, before going into medicine, and we do toxicology testing when there is suspected industrial exposures that put an employee in danger." He said, "You won't release my name or put this in your report to my superiors, will you. I know about doctor-patient confidentiality." "Well," I said, "I won't release your name, but if affects others, I can't say I won't release the information to the correct authorities."


"Doc, what happened in Oklahoma City wasn't caused by ammonium nitrate bomb in the small truck they say was parked by the building." "What are you saying?", I snapped back. "See this rash, it was caused by radiation. We broke three radiation detectors there. See, we were the same team that was sent to Riyad, Saudi Arabia and the bomb only blew the windows into the building. We estimated the explosion was by our calculations to be seven times more ammonium nitrate in that truck bomb. The whole front of the building was sheared off doc in Oklahoma; cleanest controlled detonation our munitions expert forensic team has seen ever. "


"What!!", I blurted.



"Yeah, we were examining the building site under Wakenhut armed guard, and told not to take any radioactive debris off the site, or they were ordered to shoot on site to kill. All our bags were searched and put through a detector, to make sure we didn't take any off site, or away from the place where they burried and concrete capped all the debris, again under armed Wakenhut guard." "You are telling me that the building was exploded with a nuclear device?", I said. Shaking with a now very pale and distant face, he grunted, "Yeah!". "Oh my God!, and how did this happen?", I inquired.



"There were micronuclear bombs placed on support pillars in the walls of the Federal Building, by special units of the ATF and FBI. They were paged out not to enter the building on the morning of the detonation, and the Federal Judge was warned to cancel court that day. We removed to undetonated softball sized micronuclear bombs, and one C4 pineapple bomb, attached to the pillars of the remaining building." "I can't believe this story!", I blurted. "Well, doc are you going to test me?", now sweating and shaking more violently with anguish at these revelations. "I will order some more tests of your blood cells that will rule out radiation effects on your blood cells and bone marrow. As for the sperm count and morphology testing, you need to just go to your primary family doctor's office, and I am sure he will do this for you. Call me with the results, and I can interpret if there are any abnormalities." "Ok" Looking relieved, "thanks for listening to what happened to us doc."


This story dialogue was very disturbing, and I told my wife Michelle that night, placed the information of the 'shelf', and hoped that he was lying, but I had an aching feeling of serious doubt that continued until other events proved to me he was right on with the details of the Oklahoma Murah Building detonation by the NWO.

ADDENDUM:

April 23rd 2007

During my interview with the Special Ops officer mentioned that there were high velocity cutting charges in the building, placed by special ops wacco units of FBI and ATF. This same officer requested recommendations for testing to rule out damage from radiation exposure.

He had used three radiation detectors that had gone off the scale and they also had identified Tritium isotopes confirming micronuclear devices. He identified them as US Armcy Corp of Engineers 1/10th Kiloton Micronukes with low yield radiation, high EMP and blast to crush to nanoparticles the building concrete and materials. Two unexploed micronuclear devices were removed of this type from the building. All the debris was removed under armed Wachenhut private guard, and he was told that if he removed any radioactive debris, all his personal equipment and uniforms were scanned and weighed on and off the OKC site.

This officer stated that if he removed any materials he would be tracked and killed by direct threat from the senior FBI and ATF. Months later, October 1995, when he was found to have leaked this information to me my colleague Dr Ogrodnick MD was cracking jokes cocking his finger that ?Your dead Deagle... They know what happened when Schwinder was away..? .

He was apparently courtmartialed and the next day I was fired, after a discussion, ?I want a letter of reference and a check?and if you kill me I have a safe of classified materials I will drop on you from the grave?If you come within 500 miles of me or my family, I have friends who will be very upset and they will take action..?. This conversation was directly with Major George Schwinder MD face to face.

This is as close as I can recall the truth of the time sequence of event after the OKC Ft. Carson Speial Ops Forensic Munitions team returned for exit examinations from the scene of the OKC Murrah Bldg. in April 1995.

PEDERAST GOP LAW ENFORCEMENT PUNKS: Bakersfield, California and D.A. Ed Jaegels (Mr Tough Guy)

Click above blue blogpost title to be directed to THE LORDS OF BAKERSFIELD:



The Lords of Bakersfield.

Until recently, it was a little remembered local legend, of interest mostly to conspiracy theorists. But in the aftermath of Stephen Tauzer's Sept. 13 murder and the subsequent arrest of his former colleague, Chris Hillis, the legend has resurfaced. Some of the facts of the Tauzer case appear similar to aspects of the Lords legend, which goes like this: For more than a generation, Bakersfield was run by a cadre of men who led double lives. To the public these men were members of the community's most visible institutions, its justice system and the media. But in truth, according to Lords lore, these men -- a sprinkling of county executives, judges, prosecutors, defense attorneys, even the newspaper's publisher -- were part of a loose-knit, secretive network. ...


...Stephen M. Tauzer prosecuted many of Kern County's most dramatic cases during his three decades as a high-profile member of the District Attorney's Office. One irony in his death -- a brutal stabbing at his northwest Bakersfield home last September -- is that none of those cases ever generated the notoriety that Tauzer's own murder seems likely to provide when the case goes to trial later this year....


...If it's true that Stephen Tauzer's relationship with a young drug addict led to his own brutal murder last September, uncomfortable questions could be asked of Kern County's district attorney. By all accounts, Tauzer went to bat in an unprecedented way for Lance Hillis, giving him money, cars and lodging, and writing letters to judges on Lance's behalf. Standing watch through it all was Tauzer's boss and longtime friend, Ed Jagels....

...When the name of The Californian's top newsroom executive surfaced during a murder investigation involving a 17-year-old male prostitute and a slain, gay government official, editors at the newspaper knew they had a unique dilemma on their hands. Their options: Protect the boss as best they could and risk accusations of a double standard, or lay it out there for readers in all its unsavory glory. They went somewhere down the middle....

Dead Eye Dick benefitted when TOWER'S PLANE WENT DOWN...no?

http://www.newsmakingnews.com/vm,deadly,1991,10,15,04,pt2.htm





...One day after Senator Heinz died, on April 5, 1991, former United States Senator John G. Tower of Texas left his home in Dallas and boarded a plane to Atlanta, Georgia. There he transferred to a commuter flight enroute to Brunswick Georgia. Margaret McBride, his literary agent, was waiting at the airport to pick him up. She had arranged a party on the Sea Island resort to promote Tower’s book, Consequences: A Personal and Political Memoir, which had just been published by Little Brown & Company.

For the second day in a row the New York Times found itself reporting on the death of a Senator. On April 6, 1991 it reported:


Brunswick, Ga., April 5 – A commuter plane carrying 23 people, including former Senator John G. Tower of Texas, crashed and burned today a mile and a half short of the airport near this Georgia coast city, killing everyone on board.

The twin-engine turbo-prop Atlantic Southeast Airlines plane flying from Atlanta went down in a thickly wooded area within view of motorists on Interstate 90 shortly before 3 p.m., the police said.
Officials said 20 passengers, 2 pilots and an attendant were on the flight, Atlantic Southeast 2311. Sgt. David L. Dowdy of the Glynn County Sheriff Department said there were no survivors. Rescue workers bulldozed a road 200 yards through the woods to the site but removed no bodies or debris, he said.

A spokesman for Mr. Tower said the 65-year-old Republican was traveling with this 35-year-old daughter, Marian Tower, to Sea Island off the Georgia coast to promote his new book.


Pertaining to the cause of the crash, the New York Times reported:


Aviation officials said initial inquiries into the crash turned up no unusual radio transmissions from the pilots beforehand.

People who saw the debris said it appeared that the aircraft, a Brazilian made Embraer 120 popular with commuter airlines, fell straight down before crashing short of the airport near Brunswick, midway between Savannah and Jacksonville, Fla. It fell into a pine forest about 150 years off a hardtop road and half a mile from an elementary school.

“I don’t see how anybody could have gotten out of that plane,” said Donald C. Kennedy, who works at the airport and flew over the scene shortly after the crash. “It was just burning all through the middle of the fuselage."

Mr. Kennedy said the weather was good, with a few small black clouds and that other planes were making normal landings and takeoffs around the time of the crash. There was some rain shortly after the crash, he said.



Bill Kitchim, a reporter with WMOG radio in Brunswick, said, “The scene did not look like the plane had skidded in. It was about two miles from the end of the runway. There was a circle around the plane where it had burned away, but there was no sign that it plowed in the way they do when they come up short. It looked like it came straight down.”

He said the plane was demolished. “All that was left of the plane was the tail and a clump of metal where the cockpit used to be,” said Mr. Kitchin, who reached the scene 20 minutes after the crash.


The death of John Tower focused immediate public attention on his tell-all book Consequences: A Personal and Political Memoir, and on his recent public humiliation in the Senate.


In 1989 Tower’s friend President Bush nominated him to be the Secretary of Defense, a post Tower had craved all of his life.

Tower was confident of his nomination.

He had recently chaired the Tower Commission investigating the Iran Contra crimes.

In that position he had handed President Bush a major gift, virtually exonerating Bush of any criminal activity in the Iran Contra fiasco.

Tower expected a quid pro quo resulting in an easy confirmation by the Senate to the position he had always coveted.

Instead, a few Democratic Senators charged Tower was unfit for the post because he was a heavy drinker and a womanizer.

That described a lot of the nation's lawmakers.


However, the deal-breaking issue was the money Tower had pocketed as a consultant involved in sweetheart deals with defense contractors.


After the dirty linen was aired in public it culminated in a decisive 53-47 vote against Tower's appointment. The former Senator was shocked, angry, and bitter. He suffered the humiliation of becoming the first political appointee of the President who was not confirmed by the Senate. According to the New York Times, April 7, 1989, “after his defeat he compared Capitol Hill unfavorably with Beirut, “They’re pretty straightforward what they do in Beirut,” Mr. Tower said. “They hurl a grenade at someone or shoot a machine gun. Up here, it’s a little more subtle, but just as ruthless, just as brutal. They kill you in a different way.”

Bush, Sr. and Tower had been taken by surprise. Was not Tower the ultimate political insider? Tower continued to vent his anger but President Bush quickly recovered and placed another man before the Senate for confirmation. He nominated another old friend, Rep. Richard Cheney (R. Wy). Cheney was the ranking House Republican on the Congressional Committee to investigate the Iran-Contra scandal. Just like Tower, Cheney had covered Bush's back. Cheney had encouraged the chairman of the committee, Rep. Lee Hamilton (D. Ind.) to refrain from deposing then Vice-President Bush about his knowledge. No deposition was taken.


The Congressional investigation avoided Bush's role into sensitive areas such as Contra drug trafficking. President Bush was grateful to his old friend.

Bush also tried to protect Tower's feeling by appointing him to the Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board, a post he held until his death. But Tower was not so easily pacified.

Tower felt that he had been singled out. Allegations such as drunkenness and womanizing had never been used before to derail a nomination because many of his fellow Senators were equally guilty of such allegations and did not want their dirty linen aired in public. Tower was determined to get even.

According to the New York Times, April 7, 1989, Tower raged against his former colleagues: Senator John Glenn, an Ohio Democrat, is “not the brightest guy in Washington,” while Senator Jim Exon, a democrat from Nebraska, “drinks, and drinks heavily.” Tower continued, Senator Ernest F. Hollings, Democrat of South Carolina, is “the Senate bully, quick to attack with harsh and personal invective.” Mr. Tower reserved his most acid comments for Sam Nunn, the Georgia Democrat who succeeded him as chairman of the Armed Services committee, and whose announcement against Mr. Tower’s nomination was credited with sealing his defeat. Mr. Tower said the Senator suffered from blind ambition, cruelty, inexperience and priggishness.


Who was John Tower and what did he know at the time of his death?

He was a short man with a plum shaped face who wore dapper suits and cultivated a sophisticated European manner. Tower increased his power by using his mighty intelligence and depth of knowledge of black operations, politics and the military. He played a winning game ever since he rose to power in Texas by winning the Senate seat Lyndon Baines Johnson vacated when he became Vice-President. He was the first Republican to win that seat. Tower’s Republican credentials were already impeccable. After serving as a boatswains mate in the Navy in WWII, he graduated from Southwest University and pursued graduate work at the London School of Economics before he returned home and joined the Young Americans for Freedom (YAF). In the Senate Tower concentrated on delivering defense contracts to his friends in Texas.

Senator John Tower became an unexpected principal player in the most important event in United States history, the execution of President John F. Kennedy in 1963.

Tower's contacts extended into the deep pools of counterintelligence. Even though he was an avid Republican and a member of YAF, he somehow used his position to help a young “communist” leave Minsk and come back to America....

Last Secrets of the Bush Administration

How to find out what we still don't know.

By Charles Homans




n March 2001, U.S. Archivist John W. Carlin received a letter from Alberto Gonzales, then counsel to the newly inaugurated president George W. Bush. It concerned an important deadline that was looming—one that Bush owed to Richard Nixon.

In 1974, Congress ordered a lockdown on all records kept by the Nixon White House, afraid that the outgoing president would try to wipe out the paper trail of his disastrous second term and chastened by the recent destruction of decades’ worth of FBI files by the late director J. Edgar Hoover’s loyal secretary. That order was expanded four years later into a law requiring that all presidents’ papers—everything from briefings to personal notes and everyday communications between the president, vice president, and their staffers—be handed over to the National Archives twelve years after their terms ended for eventual public release. Ronald Reagan was the first chief executive to whom the Presidential Records Act applied, and his papers were due to be turned over to Carlin at the beginning of Bush’s term.


Gonzales wanted Carlin to delay the release until June. His letter didn’t say why, but Carlin agreed. Then in June, Carlin got another memo from Gonzales—Bush’s attorney now wanted until the end of August. Carlin agreed again. The extensions continued until November, when Bush issued an executive order: effective immediately, the release of presidential records would require the approval of both the sitting president and the president whose records were in question, rather than just the former. It was what open-government advocates would later describe as a two-key system: under Bush’s rule, Nixon could have buried the Watergate tapes without explaining himself to anyone.


Bush’s executive order had little to do with any concerns of Reagan himself, whose estate has since shared his papers enthusiastically. Some administration critics theorized at the time that Bush was trying to shield from scrutiny his father’s vice presidential records, which were among the Reagan White House documents—but ultimately it wasn’t really about George H. W. Bush, either. It was about the new president and vice president, and the kind of government they intended to run. Bill Clinton’s White House had been relatively obliging in matters of secrecy, handing over millions of pages of documents—down to the White House Christmas card list—when Congress demanded them. Things would be different under Bush. "I think they thought Clinton was too open, had caved in to Congress too much," Carlin says. "It was a different philosophy."


Gonzales’s March 2001 memo was the opening salvo in a war over information, one that began in the earliest days of the Bush administration and will continue beyond its end. The stakes, which no one could have predicted when the letter crossed Carlin’s desk, are now self-evidently enormous: when Bush hands over the keys to the White House in January, he will leave behind more unanswered questions of sweeping national importance than any modern president.

We still do not know how intelligence operatives, acting in the name of the United States, have interrogated suspected terrorists, and how they are interrogating them now (see sidebar: TORTURE).

We do not know how many Americans’ phone calls and e-mails were scanned by the National Security Agency (see sidebar: WIRETAPPING).

We do not know—although we can guess—who ordered the firings of the U.S. attorneys who didn’t comply with the Bush administration’s political agenda, and we do not know who may have been wrongly prosecuted by those who did (see sidebar: POLITICIZATION OF JUSTICE).


There are large gaps in our understanding of the backstories to everything from pre-war intelligence in Iraq to the censoring of scientific opinion at the Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of the Interior. And those are the things we know we don’t know—there are also what Donald Rumsfeld might call the unknown unknowns.

The thought of revisiting this history after living through it for eight years is exhausting, and both President Barack Obama and Congress will have every political reason to just move on. But we can’t—it’s too important. Fortunately, an accounting of the Bush years is a less daunting prospect than it seems from the outset. If the new president and leaders on Capitol Hill act shrewdly, they can pull it off while successfully navigating the political realities and expectations they now face. A few key actions will take us much of the distance between what we know and what we need to know.

_________________


Three months after Bush issued his presidential records order, a Justice Department attorney named Anne Weismann stood in front of Judge Emmet Sullivan in Washington’s district court. Weismann was defending Dick Cheney’s refusal to hand over the records from the energy task force meetings he had convened the previous year, which had prompted a lawsuit by the conservative legal group Judicial Watch and the Sierra Club. Sullivan was irate. "I get the feeling the government’s underestimating the seriousness of this case," he told Weismann.


Weismann had been a Justice lawyer for twenty years, and had appeared often in Sullivan’s court. But this case was different. "I’ve never seen him that angry—he wouldn’t even let me talk," she recalled recently. The encounter made her rethink what she was doing. Weismann still believes that there were limited legal arguments to make in defense of keeping the energy task force records secret. But what drove Cheney was something bigger. The case would ultimately wind its way to the Supreme Court, after Cheney’s legal team claimed to Sullivan that executive privilege meant the White House didn’t have to hand over anything to the courts if he didn’t feel like it. But by the time the Supreme Court ruled in Cheney’s favor, Weismann was no longer representing the vice president. The day Sullivan read her the riot act in district court, she says, "was the point at which I said, ‘I have to stop doing this.’ "

Weismann told me this story in mid-October, in a McPherson Square office suite belonging to the watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), where she is now chief counsel. The floor of her office was half obscured by rows of accordion folders full of papers. Among them were the briefs for a case she is now litigating against her old client, Dick Cheney.

In September, CREW sued Cheney to preempt any attempts he might make to destroy or remove the records of his vice presidency when he left office. The suit was prompted by a bit of fine print Weismann had noticed in Bush’s November 2001 executive order instituting the two-key system. The administration’s lawyers had written that the Presidential Records Act applied only to the vice president’s "executive records." Weismann realized that this subtly narrowed definition could exclude many of Cheney’s most important papers, including his personal files and any records of his work on the National Security Council and as president of the Senate. "There were all these holes," she says.

TOMMY: tOLD YOU...CHENEY WAS ALWAYS THE SECRET PRESIDENT...not Bush.

A growing body of investigative reporting and memoirs by Bush White House insiders-turned-dissenters suggests that most of the administration’s most controversial national security decisions—on wiretapping, the Iraq War, and renditions—originated in the Office of the Vice President, hashed out by Cheney, vice presidential counsel David Addington, and aide I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby. Cheney’s papers are the Amazon rain forest of Bush administration records: they are of immense importance to the big picture, and there is a real risk that they will be lost before we know exactly what’s in there. If there is one overarching priority between now and January 20, it is to surround Cheney’s office with every possible legal barrier to removing so much as a Post-it Note from the premises.



Of course, what’s there will not tell us the entire story.


The Bush administration’s obsession with secrecy is often compared to Nixon’s, but the two are qualitatively different. Nixon was compulsively secretive, and was ultimately undone by his contradictory obsession with record keeping. Cheney, by contrast, is systematically secretive, a habit he acquired as Gerald Ford’s chief of staff in the post-Watergate years. "I learned early on that if you don’t want your memos to get you in trouble someday, just don’t write any," the vice president said in a speech last year at Ford’s presidential museum in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

(Libby, a meticulous diarist, learned a similar lesson the hard way at the hands of special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald.)

But even as careful an executive as Cheney would have trouble running an administration completely devoid of written communication. Unless they have been destroyed already, his office’s records are likely at least to include e-mails among lower echelons of staffers reflecting the dictates from the vice president’s inner circle: Cheney’s electronic shadow.

The records of the White House are also uniquely vulnerable. They are in the hands of administration loyalists, and won’t stay in the building when Obama takes office. Preserving these documents as public records, even if we can’t read them for twelve years, is our most pressing concern.



DECLASSIFY, DECLASSIFY, DECLASSIFY

Fortunately, most administration paperwork can be found in department and agency files, and will be available immediately after Bush leaves office. "While the White House can keep many of its internal deliberations secret, it will not be able to conceal anything that was actually implemented in policy," says Steven Aftergood, the director of the Federation of American Scientists’ Project on Government Secrecy. Much of that material is now classified, and pressure should be brought to bear on the Obama administration to make sure that as little as possible of it stays that way.


It’s the nature of all presidential administrations to overclassify, and some of the Bush administration’s gratuitous secrecy falls into this relatively innocent category. But the administration’s higher-ups also used national-security-justified secrecy for political purposes on a regular basis.

Relevant offices within the Justice Department were excluded from discussions about wiretapping and torture for expediency’s sake, and White House officials who believed in an unfettered executive could use classification to keep the legislative branch from questioning policy. "This was the first time I have seen what I regarded as deliberate decisions, made at the highest of levels, to exploit the classification system, not for reasons of national security but for bureaucratic infighting—to keep people from weighing in," says J. William Leonard, who ran the National Archives’ Information Security Oversight Office—the office that reviews the federal government’s classification decisions—from 2002 to 2008, after thirty years of classification work in the Defense Department.


The decision to bury the previously independent Federal Emergency Management Agency under layers of Department of Homeland Security bureaucracy—a factor in FEMA’s slow response to Hurricane Katrina—was made without public debate. Although huge swaths of information about Guantánamo Bay detainees remain classified, government prosecutors have often backed off their most serious charges in court cases where evidence has had to be made public, suggesting that much of that is secret for political reasons as well.


When Obama takes the reins in January, he will inherit the same bureaucratic apparatus Bush used, and with it the records of how he used it. This is the best opportunity for the new president to shine a light on the past eight years with the stroke of a pen. He should direct the government’s inspectors general to undertake exhaustive, top-to-bottom audits of the classified documents their agencies have produced under Bush, declassifying and releasing everything for which secrecy isn’t of demonstrable national security interest.


One specific trove of documents is a priority: the records of the Department of Justice’s Office of Legal Counsel. The OLC is the executive branch’s legal sounding board—the president asks its staff whether something he or she wants to do is legal, and the OLC sends back an opinion explaining why or why not. OLC lawyers are in an unusual position, halfway between attorneys and judges. They give advice to the president, but that legal interpretation has a heft that gives government officials who follow it a degree of immunity—"what is effectively an advance pardon for actions taken at the edges of vague criminal laws," Jack Goldsmith, the head of the OLC from 2003 to 2004, wrote in his 2007 book The Terror Presidency. "It is one of the most momentous and dangerous powers in the government: the power to dispense get-out-of-jail-free cards."

All presidents encounter legal gray areas at one point or another, and it was inevitable that the Bush administration would find many in its prosecution of the war on terror. But Bush and Cheney used the OLC in a novel and troubling way: instead of helping the executive branch fine-tune its plans to fit the law, the Bush OLC fine-tuned the law to fit its plans. Bush did not invite Congress to authorize its extended wartime powers (and it surely would have if he’d asked), as did Lincoln and FDR.

Instead, the administration used the OLC to create a body of secret law. Like-minded OLC lawyers like John Yoo wrote opinions justifying wiretapping, interrogation techniques, and—most importantly—Cheney’s and Addington’s long-held belief that the president could declare law simply by virtue of being the president: the ultimate extension of the "unitary executive" philosophy, and the legal backstop to all of the administration’s power expansions.



Many of the most important of these opinions remain classified. (Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy issued a subpoena for some of them in October, but as of this writing it has yet to be honored.) The next president should make them public for several reasons. One is that we have little idea what the legal justifications were for the illegal wiretapping program and what they are now for the interrogation of detainees. If the opinions that have been released—which often hinge on citation-less assertions and dubious interpretations of precedent—are any guide, the secret ones may be flimsy; Goldsmith retracted several during his brief tenure in the office. And because OLC opinions carry over to the next presidency, they will guide Obama’s actions until new opinions tell him otherwise.



There are reasons to hope that Obama will be willing to release these documents. He has openly disagreed with the arguments made in some of the most controversial Bush OLC opinions, stating in an interview last December with the Boston Globe that he "reject[ed] the view, suggested in memoranda by the Department of Justice, that the President may do whatever he deems necessary to protect national security, and that he may torture people in defiance of congressional enactments." On his campaign’s Web site he pledged to create a National Declassification Center aimed at restoring sensibility to executive branch secrecy.

But regardless of what they’ve said on the campaign trail, incoming presidents tend to be deferential toward their predecessors in the matters of records—they know they’ll be in the same boat four or eight years down the road. Releasing and retracting the OLC memos is an even trickier proposition; the list of presidents who, if handed dramatically expanded executive powers, would voluntarily give them up is pretty short. Getting these concessions requires a combative Congress, which in the post-Gingrich era usually means a Congress run by a different party. It was easy for congressional Democrats to shake documents loose from Gerald Ford, a relic of a disgraced Republican administration, in 1975. It’s doubtful they would take on an ascendant Democratic White House in 2009 with anywhere near the same vigor.

This, then, is a critical area in which both the Obama administration and the new Congress can earn our trust. If Obama wants to prove he really is a different kind of president, and if Congress wants to demonstrate in time for the 2010 elections that it can act tough alongside a Democratic executive, this is one way to do it.



FORGET THE SUBPOENAS


Prodding Obama to release documents isn’t Congress’s only responsibility—the heavy lifting in any serious investigative effort necessarily falls to the legislative branch, too. Executive branch investigations are usually worthless—remember the Rockefeller Commission? I didn’t think so—and Obama has shown only lukewarm interest in mounting one. In April, he told the Philadelphia Daily News that while he would have his Justice Department investigate any evident criminal actions by the outgoing administration on the torture and wiretapping issues, "I would not want my first term consumed by what was perceived on the part of Republicans as a partisan witch hunt because I think we’ve got too many problems we’ve got to solve." Most importantly, oversight is supposed to be Congress’s job. The problem is, that’s easier said than done.

__________________________



On an afternoon in mid-September, I visited Washington’s E. Barrett Prettyman United States Courthouse, where many of the skirmishes of Bush’s information war have been fought. The air in the fifth-floor courtroom was stuffy, and Department of Justice attorney Carl Nichols poured himself a glass of water. More than sixty people crowded the rows of seats behind him. As we waited for the panel of three circuit court judges to take the bench, it was quiet enough that you could hear the ice clinking in Nichols’s thermos from the back of the room.

At issue was whether Harriet Miers, President Bush’s former White House counsel, could be forced to testify under oath in front of the House Judiciary Committee about the firings of nine U.S. attorneys in 2006. A district court judge had ruled two months earlier that she could, and the administration, predictably, had resisted the idea. "It is truly an inter-branch conflict of the utmost degree," Nichols told the judges. "They are asking the EOP"—the Executive Office of the President—"to do something it has never done before."

Near the front of the courtroom, Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers sat in a high-backed leather chair. Before the Democrats took control of the House in 2006, Conyers had held mock hearings in the Capitol basement, and lamented his lack of subpoena power. Now he had it, but it wasn’t doing much good. "There is no American citizen who is exempt from a subpoena!" protested the committee’s attorney, Irvin Nathan, when it was his turn to speak. "It is not supposed to be a game of hares and hounds to get a witness to appear before the Congress."

The hearing was one of those Washington events that seem both important and oddly pointless.


As they hashed out the hypotheticals of different decisions, both lawyers and all three judges made it clear they knew what was going to happen: eventually Miers would probably be forced to testify, at which point she would invoke executive privilege, which would trigger another lawsuit. That case would end up in the Supreme Court. And even if the Court were to rule in Conyers’s favor—which would be no small victory—and Miers were forced to testify, she could always pull an Alberto Gonzales. "Witnesses often have amazing lapses in memory," says a former House staffer. "They claim they can’t remember anything—and I’m not sure what can be done to cure that."


This is what the war over information looks like now in Congress: running battles being fought longer and harder, for diminishing returns. (A similar story is playing out in the office of Justice Department Inspector General Glenn Fine, who handed the U.S. attorneys case over to a special prosecutor after he was stonewalled by Miers, Karl Rove, and ex–
Justice Department official Monica Goodling in his own investigation.)


Congress has been criticized for not doing a better job of wringing the secrets out of the Bush administration, for shying away from using its heavy artillery—the power of the purse, the ability to withhold confirmation—when the White House refused to hand over documents or offer staff for testimony.

This is a little unfair; congressional inquiries have actually produced an impressive documentary record of Bush administration malfeasance that now stretches into the thousands of pages, answering all but a few (albeit important) questions about scandals like the U.S. attorney firings. In a sense, this is paradoxically a case of having so much information that the essential storyline is obscured by the details, a dilemma familiar to any journalist or historian. Questions beget more questions, and if those questions can only be answered by Karl Rove or Dick Cheney, you’re in trouble.

What’s missing now are the key details—who authorized what, and how and why they did it. These would provide a sense of how all the moving parts fit together, the necessary big picture.

The congressional committees that are doing the best work on the administration’s wrongdoing—the House and Senate Judiciary Committees, the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, and the Senate Armed Services Committee, among others—all have narrow jurisdictions that are not well suited to this kind of wide net-casting. The same is true of agency inspectors general. And the long list of disregarded committee subpoenas suggests that more creative approaches to getting testimony are needed.



The last time Congress considered matters of this sweeping scope was 1975. Rattled by Nixon’s still-fresh abuses of power and recent reports that the CIA had spied on American dissidents during the Vietnam War, the Senate and House created committees to conduct far-ranging investigations into the covert actions of American intelligence agencies.

Over the course of its yearlong inquiry, the Church Committee—as the Senate panel came to be called, after its chairman, Senator Frank Church of Idaho—conducted 800 interviews and reviewed 110,000 pages of government records, producing a report that itself sprawled across thousands of pages.

Its revelations were damning: the committee confirmed that the CIA had planned the assassinations of leaders in Africa, Latin America, and Asia, had wiretapped Americans and opened their mail, had proposed infiltrating campus antiwar groups, and, Church concluded, had generally behaved like "a rogue elephant rampaging out of control." The committee’s report ultimately led to the creation of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, which fairly successfully straddled the line between secrecy and accountability in intelligence matters until the Bush administration decided to circumvent it. ...




....Because the unfortunate fact is that such investigations, while necessary, tend to be politically poisonous for the lawmakers who run them. Frank Church had presidential aspirations in 1975, but the investigation ate up so much of his time that it kept him from campaigning (he later groused that it might have cost him a shot at being Jimmy Carter’s vice president, too). The public and Congress, who had been furious about agency abuses of power in 1975, had mostly lost interest by the time the committee delivered its report a year later.

Only one of its recommendations—the surveillance court—actually made it into law, and Church lost his Senate seat in the 1980 election following spurious accusations that his investigation had led to the assassination of a CIA station chief in Greece. The chairman of the concurrent investigative committee in the House, New York Democrat Otis Pike, saw his reputation similarly battered, and left office in 1979. It’s doubtful that Church’s and Pike’s successors would fare much better in 2009. Scandal-fatigued voters probably consider the Bush era something best forgotten at this point, and would prefer that Congress simply turn the page on it, rather than pick through its adventures in agonizing detail.



Also, 2009 will not be 1975. The Democratic-led Church Committee’s findings were widely accepted, but then committee counsel Frederick A. O. Schwarz Jr. points out that this had a lot to do with the target of the investigation: thirty years of intelligence activities, under five presidents and both major parties. "So when we were critical of what had been done," he says, "it didn’t raise partisan concerns." Congress has also changed dramatically since the committee did its work. The partisan allegiances that came to the fore on Capitol Hill in the mid-1990s have hardened, and the public and Congress itself are both conditioned to assume—not inaccurately—that lawmakers’ motives are now dictated more by party membership than by constitutional duty.


The findings of an investigation exclusively targeting a Republican administration, conducted under the auspices of a Democratic Congress, would be too easy to dismiss. Moreover, Schwarz notes, the legislative branch is deeply implicated in what the executive branch did during the Bush years, and investigating itself would be something of a conflict of interest.

This doesn’t mean that Congress should abandon the idea entirely. Instead, what Congress needs to do is figure out how to achieve the same goals while avoiding the political consequences. The best way to do this is to appoint someone else to do it, a panel that does for the wartime excesses of the Bush administration what the 9/11 Commission did for the September 11 attacks. In other words, a 9/12 Commission.

The 9/11 Commission had its problems.

It was given an impossible deadline, forced to spend far too much time wrangling for access, and awarded less start-up money than the government spends each year to police the use of food stamps.

Co-chairmen Thomas Kean and Lee Hamilton have said that they believed the commission was "set up to fail." Some critics have accused it of prizing consensus over fact-finding. But think for a second about what it accomplished: It gathered what would otherwise have been a diffuse and unintelligible heap of raw documents and interview transcripts into a digestible narrative with policy recommendations.

Even Appeals Court Judge Richard A. Posner, in a dissenting New York Times review of the report, dubbed it "an improbable literary triumph," and publisher W. W. Norton has sold nearly 1.5 million copies of the authorized edition to date. The commission’s hearings were widely viewed and considered credible by most viewers in subsequent polls.

Its findings had enough bipartisan clout that the report’s biggest recommendation—the reorganization of the intelligence agencies under a single director—was passed into law by the Republican Congress in 2004 even over the objections of some party leaders (the Democratic Congress later passed most of the rest). And the commission’s hearings produced iconic moments: Condoleezza Rice sheepishly acknowledging the title of the August 6, 2001, presidential daily briefing ("Bin Laden Determined to Attack Inside the U.S."), and former chief terrorism adviser Richard Clarke declaring to the 9/11 victims’ families that "your government failed you."

TOMMY: THIS AUTHOR IS A DUMBFUCK WHO DOES NOT KNOW, WHAT HE DOES NOT KNOW.

With their strong majorities, the Democrats in Congress can remedy many of the 9/11 Commission’s institutional failures from the get-go, giving the new commission enough time, money, and subpoena power to do its work. Appointing a respected bipartisan membership will be crucial, because of the simple fact that most of the people who know things we need to know are Republicans. Addington and Gonzales will probably never provide useful information about what they did, but their immediate subordinates might, if they are given the right forum in which to do so. Much of what we know now comes from the handful of them who have already come forward. James Comey, a former deputy attorney general, offered up to a Senate committee the story of the attempt by Gonzales and White House Chief of Staff Andrew Card to get Attorney General John Ashcroft to sign an extension of the NSA’s secret wiretapping program while Ashcroft was ill and drugged in a hospital room. Jack Goldsmith, the former OLC head, has published an illuminating memoir of his time in the administration that fills in a great deal of granular detail about how Cheney, Addington, and Gonzales pursued their agenda. Both Comey and Goldsmith are staunch conservatives who agreed with the Bush administration on many principles, but not with the unconstitutional methods by which it pursued them. Comey may have been willing to volunteer his story to a Democratic Senate committee, but a bipartisan commission could be instrumental in reaching more reluctant administration veterans. Some might talk out of a sense of duty, as Comey and Goldsmith appear to have done. Others might be persuaded to testify in order to clear their names and position themselves for future appointments. The crucial thing is to define the question as what happened, not whether it was right. Now is not the time to argue with Jack Goldsmith about what constitutes a legal interrogation technique. Now is the time to get him to help explain what those techniques were.

The commission can sweeten the deal by offering future immunity to anyone willing to testify, making it clear that its goal is to fill in the history of the Bush years, not to send anyone to jail. Otherwise, says Jim Dempsey, the vice president for public policy at the Center for Democracy and Technology and a former House Judiciary Committee counsel, "all the people who know what you want to know come under the protection of the Fifth Amendment. They lawyer up, and the whole inquiry gets frozen." (John Yoo did just that this summer, arriving with high-powered defense attorney Miguel Estrada at a House subcommittee hearing.) And as tempting as it is to believe otherwise, the odds of any major Bush administration figure serving time for what happened over the past eight years are pretty long under even the best of circumstances. Remember Goldsmith’s get-out-of-jail-free card: it would be difficult to convict anyone in a position of authority on charges related to interrogation or wiretapping, because those actions were legitimized with OLC memos. At most, a few CIA interrogators would go to prison, and the big fish would go free, á la Abu Ghraib; and this summer, Congress—the Democratic Congress—absolved the telecommunications companies that helped the NSA listen in on phone calls and e-mail exchanges. The U.S. attorney firings? Maybe a few tangentially related perjury convictions. Invading Iraq on false pretenses? Henry Kissinger did worse, and won the Nobel Peace Prize. And for all of the above, Bush could always borrow a page from his father, who less than a month before leaving the Oval Office preemptively pardoned half a dozen of his fellow Reagan administration officials— including the defense secretary—for their involvement in the Iran-Contra affair, sinking an independent prosecutor’s six-year investigation.

Most importantly, a commission tasked with creating the be-all, end-all record of a tumultuous political era makes a powerful implicit offer to potential witnesses: the prospect of having some small influence on how they are viewed by history. This is why once-loyal administration officials talk to Bob Woodward and publish memoirs that polish their reputations at the expense of their former bosses’, and why the 9/11 Commission was ultimately able to wrestle testimony—albeit unsworn—out of two presidents and vice presidents on the subject of their own failures. It’s not crazy to think that one or two staffers from the Office of the Vice President, weighing the risk of coming off badly in another witness’s telling against the limited political rewards of loyalty to an administration whose marquee names will be out of power for quite some time, might volunteer their own accounts of the past eight years; they would be instrumental in helping to clear away the unknown unknowns and suggesting which questions to ask. And it’s not totally crazy—though it’s certainly a stretch—to think that our history-obsessed president, who was apparently out of the loop on some of his own administration’s worst debacles, might even toy with the idea for a minute or two.

What the 9/12 Commission needs to do, above all else, is tell a story. In War Is a Force That Gives Us Meaning, veteran war correspondent Chris Hedges writes that following a conflict it is crucial for both sides, aggressor and victim alike, to surrender the narratives they have created in support of their own causes and agree upon a single account of what happened. "Until there is a common vocabulary and a shared historical memory there is no peace in any society," he writes, "only an absence of war." Comparisons of our deeply divided nation to a literally civil-war-torn one aren’t worth belaboring, but it is a fact that pervasive misinformation and secrecy, worsened by an increasingly tribal political culture and the sheer complexity of the issues at hand, have left Americans with fragmented and conflicting understandings of what exactly has been done in our name over the past eight years. Without a collectively agreed-upon story of the Bush administration’s excesses, efforts by Congress to undo them and ensure that they don’t happen again are likely to be misinterpreted by half of the electorate as a Democratic power grab rather than a reinstatement of constitutional protections. That would worsen the partisan trench warfare that got us an irresponsible Congress and hubristic White House in the first place.

Even if the commission turns up nothing new, even if its findings are watered down, it still has value if it can write this kind of official history. Thomas Kean has a funny story from the early days of the 9/11 Commission’s work, about his first classified briefing from the FBI. It took place at an undisclosed Washington address, in a room accessible only to people with the right security clearances, protected by high-tech locks and wired to block listening devices. In the secured room, Kean was given a copy of the bureau’s authoritative record of the events of September 11, a thick document stamped TOP SECRET. An FBI minder looked on as he read it.

Kean, who had only recently been cleared for access to this kind of material, had high expectations. But as he leafed through the file, he grew disappointed. The information the bureau had provided him was nothing new—he had already read most of it in newspapers.

"I know all of this," Kean told the FBI man.

"Yes," the minder replied, "but you didn’t know it was true."

illuminati plan to KILL THE HONEY BEE: part of plan to kill off earth then re seed it

WHAT IS KILLING THE BEES?



By Dr. James Howenstine, MD.
November 24, 2008

NewsWithViews.com

For several years I have been curious and concerned about reports from many parts of the world that bee colonies were vanishing or dying. Because of their ability to pollinate fruit and vegetables bees are of enormous importance to mankind. . Finally a breakthrough in understanding this problem has appeared on the scene. Whether this solves the whole bee problem or is simply one part of a more complex issue remains to be seen.

An article in Natural News by David Gutierrez on September 30, 2008 has linked the bee die-off in the Baden-Wurttemburg state of Germany to direct contact with the insecticide clothianidin found on corn seeds(German Research Center for Cultivated Plants). This pesticide had been applied to rapeseed and sweet cornseeds in the Rhine River Valley. Piles of dead bees were discovered at the entrance of hives in early May 2008.

Clothianidin was found in the tissues of 99% of the dead bees. This is the time when corn seeding takes place according to Walter Haefeker, president of the European Professional Beekeeping Association. The Julius Huehn Institute(federal agricultural research agency) stated “it can be unequivocally be concluded that a poisoning of the bees is due to a rub-off of the pesticide ingredient clothianidin from cornseeds.” This chemical is estimated to have killed two-thirds of the bees in this state.

Clothianidin is widely used insecticide marketed in Europe under the brand name Poncho. This insecticide is a derivative of nicotine which acts systemically as a neurotoxin which poisons the nervous system of insects. After application to the seeds of plants clothianidin spreads throughout all plant tissues.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has classified clothianidin as “highly toxic” to honeybees. This chemical was approved for U.S. use in 2003 and German use in 2004.

A subsidiary of the chemical giant Bayer, Bayer Crop Science which manufactures clothianidin, blamed the honeybee deaths on incorrect application of the insecticide. They claimed that application of a fixative prior to spraying with clothianidin would have prevented the poison from spreading to the environment. They related that the fixative was not applied so the poison spread into the air.

Beekeepers and pesticide critics rejected this explanation and called for Germany to join France in banning this chemical and other nicotine based insecticides. Philipp Mimkes, spokesman for the Coalition Against Bayer Dangers, stated “We have been pointing out the risk of neonicotinoids for almost 10 years now. This proves without a doubt that that the chemicals can come into contact with bees and kill them. These pesticides shouldn’t be on the market.”

The German Federal Office of Consumer Protection and Food Safety placed a provisional ban on the seven neonicotinoid pesticides (Poncho, Elado, Antarc, Chinook, Faibell, Mesurol, Cruiser). until the manufactures had sufficient data to convince the government regulators they were safe. Six of these substances are made by Bayer while Mesurol is made by Syngenta.

The same charges that nicotinoids from Bayer were killing bees were raised in France in 1999. In that nation Bayer’s best selling pesticide imidaclopid was banned from use in sunflower seeds after being blamed for killing one third of the country’s honeybees. In 2004 France extended the ban to sweet corn seeds. A new application for clothianidin was banned in France a few months ago.

In North Dakota beekeepers sued Bayer, alleging that imaclopid caused the Colony Collapse Disorder CCD in that state in 1995. Within 12 months of use one third of that state’s honeybees were dead.

Around the world honeybee stocks are declining. Obviously this could have an enormous impact on global food supplies. Approximately 80 % of world food crops are pollinated by honeybees. In the USA alone this accounts for 130 crops and $15 billion of food each year.

Two million honeybee colonies have been lost in the USA in recent years. Massive dieoffs of bees have been reported from Europe. Taiwan discovered the disappearance of 10,000,000 bees in a two week period. U.K. Farming Minister Lord Rooker has advised that British honeybee population could disappear within the next 10 years.

Beekeepers have become quite alarmed by Colony Collapse Disorder CCD where bees simply disappear leaving empty hives. The neonicotinoid pesticides have been implicated as the possible cause for CCD. Because the pesticide spreads through all plant tissues bees could be getting exposed through the pollen of treated plants. One study actually concluded that neonicotinoids are likely to become concentrated in bee hives in high levels.by the mechanism of transported pollen.

In low dosage research studies have shown that neonictinoids produce symptoms that could explain CCD. Termites exposed to these doses of imidaclopid experience disorientation and immune system failure, while bees exposed to low doses of this chemical develop impairment of communication, homing, foraging, flight, olfactory discrimination, and learning.



Food Scarcity Appears Inevitable

It appears that famine will become a prominent feature of these end times.


Multiple factors are now operating that will contribute to famine:



• Adverse Weather Conditions Currently there is a scarcity of sun spots which contributes to lower temperatures. This summer was the coldest Alaska has experienced in 100 years with the summer temperatures about three degrees below normal. Last winter was unusually cold in the USA and Northern Europe. North Carolina had unprecedented heavy snow storms.

The northern USA had very low temperatures with heavy snowstorms.

The same cold weather pattern with bad storms was widespread in Europe last winter. We appear to be changing over from a warm weather cycle to a cold weather cycle which has been observed for thousands of years. The prime influence in causing this change appears to be the changing activity of the sun and has nothing to due with man made production of heat. Of great importance 200 years of glacial shrinkage [1] has come to an end. The winter of 2007-2008 has brought unusually large amounts of winter snow. This has combined with unusually cold temperatures in June ,July and August 2008 to start reversing 200 years of glacial shrinkage. Growing seasons will become shorter and crop yields will become smaller.



• Supermarkets have only a three day supply of products on their shelves. High transportation costs have made these stores more vulnerable to shortages of food. Very high fuel costs came near to driving truckers out of business in the summer of 2008. It is not hard to envision food riots in major cities when supermarkets have nothing to sell.

• Ethanol Production is not economic and has removed large amounts of corn from the marketplace. This has increased the cost of producing cattle, hogs, and chicken.

• Fallout of depleted uranium from bombs and shells is carried by wind to oceans where it enters oceans during rainstorms. The radioactivity from this fallout kills the algae[2] that are the start of the fish food chain that leads to our ocean fish. This will lead to fewer mature fish that will become more expensive.

• Inflation is driving the price of food to higher levels making many foods not affordable to much of the populace.


Genetically Modified Foods are causing food allergies, health problems, chromosomal disorders and cancer. Renowned geneticist Dr. Mae-Wan Ho states[3]“Genetic engineering bypasses conventional breeding by using artificially constructed, parasitic, genetic elements, including viruses, as vectors to carry and smuggle genes into cells. Once inside cells, these vectors slot themselves into the host genome. The insertion of foreign genes into the host genome has long been known to have many harmful and fatal effects including cancer of the organism.”

The U.S. government does not require labeling of genetically modified foods. Thus American citizens are unable to avoid eating dangerous GMO food. GMO foods have fewer calories than normal food. Farmers have learned they can feed GMO food to animals if they want to thin them.

Rahm’s Plan for Mandatory Service


Posted November 24th, 2008 at 11.59am in First Principles.



There has been a small uproar around Obama’s call for a “civilian national security force” especially one “that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded” as the military. But many have said that these words were taken out of context. If you read the whole speech, they argue, it is clear that he just wants to expand the Peace Corp a little bit.

Similarly, there was a mild uproar about his call for mandatory service from students, but many said that the programs were never intended to be mandatory. The college program was optional community service in exchange for a larger education credit, and the high-school one was no different from adding an art class or something to the public high-school curriculum. Obama initially called both mandatory on his change.gov website, but after the buzz began he changed the wording and removed several sections of the site.

But now there is new evidence that the critics are right. He does favor mandatory service and it might be worse than we thought. He has chosen Rahm Emanuel as his chief of staff. Rahm Emanuel wrote a book called The Plan in 2006. On page 60-65 of the book Rahm calls for universal conscription of 18-24 year olds for civilian service in order to prepare for a potential terrorist attack.

All Americans between the ages of eighteen and twenty-five will be asked to serve their country by going through three months of basic training, civil defense preparation and community service.

In a 2006 radio interview Rahm explains more about the program. He speaks about the dangers of a chemical attack and about the wonderful common experience that all Americans could have by being drafted for 3 months into a civilian national security force training program. He seems to be using the fear of attack to justify drafting all youth into a militaristic civilian security force – something more reminiscent of a dictatorship than a democracy. And all of his calls to unity and common experience only confirm his preference for nationalism or collectivism over individualism and freedom.

That Obama has chosen this man as his chief of staff should give anyone pause.


This man has a “Plan” for the country that involves training our youth like soldiers, and calls upon “a new patriotism that brings us together again in a common mission” for his plan which will “unite us in a higher national purpose.”

OBAMA WATCH CENTRAL
Proofin' the prez: Who's in charge?
Constitutional lawyer says electors have duty to investigate citizenship


Posted: November 24, 2008

Barack Obama

A one-time vice presidential candidate who is considered an expert on the U.S. Constitution says it is up the electors from the 50 states to make certain President-elect Barack Obama is a natural-born U.S. citizen before they cast votes for him in the Electoral College Dec. 15.

"If they do their duty, they would make sure that if they cast a vote for Mr. Obama, that Mr. Obama is a natural-born citizen," Herb Titus, the Constitution Party's running mate to Howard Phillips in 1996, told WND today.

"I think it should be resolved. The duty is in the Electoral College. Every Obama elector that is committed to casting a vote on the 15th of December, they have a constitutional duty to make certain whether Mr. Obama is a natural-born citizen," he said.

If the electors fail their duty and Obama proves ultimately to fail the eligibility requirement of the U.S. Constitution, there would be only the laborious, contentious and cumbersome process of impeachment available to those who would wish to follow the Constitution, he suggested.

The issue of Obama's citizenship has been in the news for weeks as multiple legal claims have asserted the Democrat is not a natural-born U.S. citizen. There have been claims he was born in Kenya, that he's a British subject because of his father and that he lost his citizenship in Indonesia.



Two of the cases are pending before the U.S. Supreme Court and several others that have fallen by the wayside.

Also, thousands of people are jumping aboard a petition that demands documentation of Obama's eligibility to hold the highest office in the U.S., not just assurances from party officials.

As of this afternoon, about 70,000 petitioners have joined the effort coordinated by WND founder and editor Joseph Farah.

To participate, sign the petition here.

A report accompanying Farah's petition explains the many questions raised about Obama's eligibility, from an apparently fabricated "Certification of Live Birth" posted online to questions about what nation's passport he used to travel to Pakistan.

One case is scheduled for a conference among U.S. Supreme Court justices Dec. 5. Conferences are private meetings of the justices at which they review cases and decide which ones to accept for formal review. The Supreme Court's website listed the date for the case brought by Leo C. Donofrio against Nina Wells, the secretary of state in New Jersey, over not only Obama's name on the 2008 election ballot but those of two others, Sen. John McCain and Roger Calero.

Do you agree with contentions made in "The Audacity of Deceit" about the impact of an Obama White House on the United States?

The case, unsuccessful at the state level, was submitted to Justice David Souter, who rejected it. The case then was resubmitted to Justice Clarence Thomas for conference Dec. 5.

Titus holds a law degree cum laude from Harvard, is admitted to practice before the U.S. Supreme Court and a long list of federal court districts, and helped found a law school. He told WND the framers of the Constitution specifically wanted the electors, citizen voters from all the states, to determine the presidency to avoid chief executives who are indebted to political parties or court decisions.

In 1788, Titus noted, Alexander Hamilton wrote in the Federalist Papers on the issue of the presidential election that "nothing was more to be desired than that every practicable obstacle should be opposed to cabal, intrigue, and corruption."


"They have not made the appointment of the president to depend on any pre-existing bodies of men, who might be tampered with beforehand to prostitute their votes; but they have referred it in the first instance to an immediate act of the people of America, to be exerted in the choice of persons for the temporary and sole purpose of making the appointment," Hamilton wrote. "And they have excluded from eligibility to this trust, all those who from situation might be suspected of too great devotion to the president in office. No senator, representative, or other person holding a place of trust or profit under the United States, can be of the numbers of the electors.

"Talents for low intrigue, and the little arts of popularity, may alone suffice to elevate a man to the first honors in a single state; but it will require other talents, and a different kind of merit, to establish him in the esteem and confidence of the whole Union, or of so considerable a portion of it as would be necessary to make him a successful candidate for the distinguished office of President of the United States," Hamilton wrote in support of the concept of the Electoral College.


If the electors fail, Titus said, "I think it moots the point."


"I don't think there is anything in the Constitution [that would allow a challenge based on a candidate's constitutional qualifications.]

"It would politically undermine Obama's re-election … and there may be an impeachment if someone concluded he deliberately misled the people, and knew he was not a natural-born citizen," he said.

Titus said the evidence clearly shows there are questions about Obama's birth that should be resolved. But he said he doesn't believe the courts will do anything, nor should they.

"If it's revealed it's only going to be [revealed because of] investigative journalism or by Obama himself," he said.

"It's only the Electoral College that has the duty and authority to determine is a person is qualified to be president," Titus said.

"We should act accordingly, get the names of all the electors, including McCain's electors, and urge them to do their duty," he said.

He said, however, the bottom line is that there are some people who would rather ignore the Constitution than dispense with a candidate who may be unqualified.

"Politically, [being ineligible] would be a very serious problem for [Obama,]" he said. "But there also would be people who would only shrug."

"It's up to the people. Essentially the Constitution is a covenant of the people with their government. If the people don't insist on their government officials abiding by the covenant, I don't know what you can do," he said.

Titus said the basis of a natural-born requirement traces back to the Old Testament, where Moses prophesied about the people of Israel getting a king.

"The whole notion of a natural-born citizen is designed for the purpose of making sure that the chief executive would not have politically divided loyalties," he said.

Supreme Court would decide?

Meanwhile, a veteran law enforcement officer and director of criminal justice courses says he believes the 2008 election results ultimately could come down to a decision by the U.S. Supreme Court, which issued a ruling eight years ago that helped put George W. Bush in the White House.

The assessment comes from James H. Hafeman, a veteran of decades in law enforcement who supervised an armed security force, taught criminal justice and directed criminal justice programs in Michigan. He submitted a commentary to WND, outlining his evidence.

Hafeman said his argument is based mostly on the U.S. Constitution, which outlines the requirements for eligibility for president, including that the candidate be a "natural-born" citizen.

While replacing a president is outlined in the Constitution, he warned the replacement of a president-elect who is found to be ineligible isn't simple.


"While many have speculated that an official declaration of Obama’s ineligibility may lead to the appointment of Joe Biden as president, the speculation is inaccurate. Since it was up to the respective political party to properly vet their candidate before a primary election, they may not qualify to be rewarded for their lack of integrity. Additionally there is no separate balloting for president and vice-president; they share the same slot. Obama's ineligibility would effectively void the entire Obama-Biden ticket," he said.


Therefore, he said, other provisions likely would come into play.

"We already know that if two candidates have an equal number of Electoral College votes, the members of the House of Representatives will collectively choose the president. Many citizens have been led to believe that it is the responsibility of the House is to decide the winner by majority vote, but that is incorrect.

Members of the House of Representatives from each state would meet in a state-caucus type of meeting and vote with all congressional members from their respective state. The majority of the state's delegation would only have only one vote. Out of the 50 votes allotted among the House of Representative members, 25 plus a minimum of one vote would be required to elect the president," he wrote.

William Ball, a political science professor at Northern Michigan University, has said, "The results of the Electoral College are sent to the president of the Senate, but if there is no winner, then the House of Representatives, not the whole Congress, decides who will be president. But, in this process the State of Vermont or Wyoming with their one vote each would have as much power as California or New York."

Hafeman said the Constitution demands the same process for a situation in which a seated president becomes ineligible, but Obama won't be inaugurated until Jan. 20.


"This may be the first known case where a presidential candidate intentionally attempted to side step the specific requirements of the Constitution in order to run for the office of president," Hafeman said. "The 12th Amendment is quite clear. If the president is found ineligible, the vice-president shall become the president. However, the key is the 'president,' not the president-elect. In other words, if Mr. Obama is found ineligible to hold the office prior to his January 20, 2009, inauguration, the 12th Amendment would not necessarily be the guiding instrument for the Supreme Court.

"The Justices would be free to make their own determination regarding the specifics of the general election," Hafeman wrote.

So, Hafeman concluded, the high court may have to make some decisions.

If the worse fears about Obama's birthplace prove true, Hafeman said, the court will have to decide the consequences for providing inaccurate assurances of eligibility.

"Second, what process will be used to designate someone who will assume the office?" he wrote.

"Since all the secretaries of state will be forced to nullify the Obama-Biden ticket, the Electoral College votes would go to the next highest contender. The principle would award McCain-Palin with the total possible Electoral College votes – all 538 electors," he suggested.

"In the national-interest scenario, the question that might be asked by the Democrats may focus on the question as to whether or not they could hold an emergency national convention in order for the party to re-nominate a president and/or another vice-president candidate. If the Supreme Court declares the entire election invalid, then that may be a possibility, but it is highly unlikely since every other presidential team on the ticket were legitimate," he wrote.


"The Supreme Court may decide a new election is in order and would have to waive the two-term limitations of George W. Bush so that he can remain in office until the conclusion of the election. The continuation of his term is a viable course of action, but it may not be an action favored by the Supreme Court. Instead, the justices may simply view the anomaly as a political race with an illegitimate and disqualified opponent, which would result in a win for the McCain-Palin ticket."

On WND's new forum page, the level of frustration was rising. Dozens contributed their thoughts immediately after the forum was posted:

"What makes Obama non-respon[sive] to the simplest of requests?" asked one reader. "Does he think that it is politically incorrect to ask for authentication of the myriad of facts about himself … Is he testing the grounds to see how far he can play with this charade?"

Other comments included:

"Obama won his first election ever by getting three Democratic opponents thrown off the ballot? He's all for using the law to help himself win. Wouldn't it be ironic if he is not allowed to serve as president due to the law? … Turn around is fair play!

"Even the left-wing liberal news media is beginning to ask the question: 'Who is this man we have elected? We really do not know much about him.'"

One of the first things Barack Obama did after winning the election two weeks ago was put an old-school political brawler in charge of his White House. Next, he saved Joe Lieberman. Then, he met with John McCain, and asked Hillary Clinton to run his State Department. For good measure, he's also apparently weighing whether to keep George W. Bush's Defense secretary, Robert Gates, on at the Pentagon.



Some are worried that President-elect Barack Obama is already making too many compromises.


This is the guy Republicans called a socialist, maybe a Marxist, and National Journal said was the most liberal member of the US Senate?


McCain aides were saying on Election Night that their own polling showed 60 percent of the country thought Obama was a liberal (and many voted for him anyway).


Barely two weeks into the transition, that number might already be dropping fast.


In fact, in his appointments, and in what can be divined of his foreign policy, there are loud echoes of the last Democratic administration, and also of that lady he beat in the primaries, the one the netroots didn't like very much. Certainly, some of Obama's supporters are getting a little nervous about what this all presages about an Obama White House. "The list [of disappointments] is getting awfully long," wrote the blogger bmaz at Firedoglake. "Almost as long as Barack Obama's arm that he used to take our money and efforts to get himself elected.

All we have seen is the short arm he has used to punch us in the face and collect street cred with villagers for having done so." Open Left's Chris Bowers wrote on Friday that he felt "incredibly frustrated ... [W]hy isn't there a single member of Obama's cabinet who will be advising him from the left?" Even Pat Buchanan -- not exactly the world's most liberal guy -- apparently thinks Obama needs to throw a bone to progressives after the start the transition is off to.


But so far, the Obama administration is shaping up to be more or less exactly what Obama always said he was, in between the "hope" and "change" rhetoric: pragmatic, consensus-oriented and interested in getting things done. That's not necessarily what a lot of Democrats want him to be, though. Obama was bound to disappoint his supporters; think of the transition as the road map for how it's going to happen. And know that it won't come as a surprise to the president-elect himself; in 2006, in "The Audacity of Hope," he wrote that people tend to "project their own views" on him, and recognized what could happen as a result: "As such I am bound to disappoint some, if not all of them."


"This has been the pattern for him historically -- the left falls in love with him because of his eloquent oratory and his, I think, genuine sense of mission to help people who are less fortunate," said biographer David Mendell. "But he has legislated from somewhere in the middle, and then once he gets into a general election campaign, he tends to squirt that direction even farther. He'll irritate people on both sides -- except the right expects him to be a Democrat, and the far left expects him to be one of them. And he's consistently disappointed the far left."


To date, the president-elect's most notable difference of opinion with his supporters is probably on the subject of Joe Lieberman. He seems to have escaped blame for the Democratic failure to punish Lieberman last week, though Senate Democrats would certainly have been tougher on the Connecticut senator had Obama not intervened on his behalf.

Harry Reid, instead, is becoming the fall guy for the slap on the wrist Lieberman received. That's either evidence of denial on the part of many Obama fans, or a sign that, among liberals, Obama has far more goodwill to burn than Reid has. Blogger and author (and Salon contributor) David Sirota blames long-standing Democratic habits and not Obama for Lieberman's escape from punishment. "The Democratic leadership [on Capitol Hill] has decided that the way it is going to govern, it is going to essentially triangulate aggressively against its own party," said. "I actually don't think Obama in his policy positions he's taken since the election -- I don't think he's actually done that. It's possible that congressional leaders are actually fearing that Obama will be far more legislatively aggressive than them."

But the big sticking point for many of Obama's intra-party critics is the strong strain of Clintonism running through appointments. They can lay the failure to banish Lieberman at Harry Reid's feet but they can't rewrite the résumés of people like Rahm Emanuel.


"You could have had an administration with a sprinkling of Clinton people, it would have been fine," said Robert Kuttner, co-editor of the American Prospect and a distinguished senior fellow at Demos, a liberal think tank (and a longtime critic of Bill Clinton's centrist economic policies). "But when so many of the top people are holdovers, and he's promoting change, you have to say, wait a minute." Republicans are hoping to exploit any disconnect between Obama and his supporters -- the Republican National Committee has been sending reporters e-mail blasts of background research on each potential Cabinet pick, pointing out how many are Washington insiders with long ties to the Clinton administration or to other parts of the city's establishment.



The list of Clinton alums in the transition or the administration starts with Hillary Clinton, who is reportedly set to take over at State, then goes to Emanuel, the incoming White House chief of staff, transition co-chairman (and Clinton White House chief of staff) John Podesta and plenty of lower-level aides. Eric Holder, whom Obama will reportedly nominate as attorney general, was a deputy at the Justice Department under Clinton.


New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, who is likely to be named Commerce secretary soon, had several Clinton administration jobs (though he endorsed Obama after dropping out of the presidential race himself). Clinton's former Treasury secretary, Lawrence Summers, will be a senior White House economic advisor and nearly got his old job back -- which progressives are particularly alarmed about. "Appointing someone who helped get us into this mess with what he fought for is a really bad idea," said Robert Borosage, co-director of the Campaign for America's Future. (New York Federal Reserve branch head Tim Geithner will be named the new Treasury secretary-designate on Monday; he's worked closely with much of the Clinton-era economic team in the past.)


Some antiwar activists are also starting to wonder what happened to the Obama who first rose to prominence in the Iowa caucuses because he opposed the war. "Obama always really used to his advantage the fact that he did not support the Iraq war in the beginning, and that was a key argument that he used to discredit Hillary Clinton, and something that he was able to tout to his benefit," said Kelly Dougherty, executive director of Iraq Veterans Against the War.


"People put all this hope into getting Obama elected -- the reasons were much deeper. They didn't just want to get him elected, but they want to see real change." Add in Clinton, at State, and Vice President-elect Joe Biden, and Obama would be getting foreign policy and military advice from a lot of people who supported the Iraq war. And then there are people who are rumored to be under consideration who worked for someone far more hated on the left than Hillary Clinton. If Bush's secretary of defense, Robert Gates, sticks around, how will that play with the base? How about John Brennan, who worked at the CIA earlier in the Bush administration and whom Obama is rumored to like for a top intelligence job (either at CIA or as director of national intelligence)? The Brennan rumor is already proving divisive because of his support for torture.






Still, even critics are sanguine about some of Obama's picks. Obama doesn't have much choice except to turn to ex-Clinton aides in many jobs; there aren't many Democrats who are ready to take relatively senior positions who've worked in government but didn't work for Clinton.

"It hasn't surprised me that he's chosen stars from the Clinton bench, because that's the bench we have," said Borosage, who -- aside from the return of Summers to a national role -- mostly likes the direction of the transition so far. "Many of the appointments strike me as terrific, in the sense of serious people who will try to get things done."


That does seem to be the main factor motivating what the transition team is doing so far. Every public statement from Obama, Podesta and Emanuel has emphasized a desire to hit the ground running on Jan. 20; progressives may not love some of the names Obama is appointing to these jobs, but they still like what he says he wants the appointees to do once in office. Working in Chicago, Obama aides never spent much time during the campaign worrying about what Democrats back in D.C. were saying about their strategy, and so far, the transition team seems to be taking a similar approach. Emanuel, after meeting with Senate Republicans on Thursday, sounded more bipartisan and magnanimous than he ever has before. "The challenges for the country are large," he told reporters. "The problems we face are of a serious magnitude. There is enough area and enough goodwill for ideas from both parties to solve those challenges."



Obama aides seem to have settled on a pretty blunt message for supporters who don't like the appointments he's making: Obama's in charge -- calm down. "People need to understand one thing," senior advisor David Axelrod told ABC News' "This Week With George Stephanopoulos" on Sunday. "There's one person who's going to be in charge of American foreign policy, and there's one person who's going to be in charge of American economic policy. And that's Barack Obama."


For now, any grumbling is at a low enough volume that it doesn't have Obama staffers worried; even Kuttner said some of the people who might raise eyebrows as Clintonites (like Holder, and incoming White House counsel Greg Craig) endorsed Obama in the primary campaign, representing a clear break. On Capitol Hill, Democrats say they're mostly impressed with the transition operation so far -- there's been hardly any infighting, the leaks of names appear to be deliberate and no one hears a peep about people who weren't picked. Obama's ban on lobbyists in the transition means plenty of Hill staffers are working to put together the new administration, which is a sure way to set lawmakers at ease, and many progressive interest groups already had relationships with the people doing the day-to-day work at the transition.

Still, sometime next year, if the White House proposes something that really gets under the skin of liberal activists, no one will be able to say they couldn't see it coming. It's one thing to build a coalition of progressives and sweep to the Oval Office on the heels of record disapproval for the current occupant. As Obama and his supporters are finding out already, it's a whole other thing to govern.

FBI arrests eight New York mafia men



NEW YORK (AFP) — FBI agents arrested eight members of New York's Luchese organized crime family Monday on illegal gambling and narcotics charges, the federal prosecutor said.

An acting "capo" in the Luchese family and seven others were nabbed, US Attorney Michael Garcia said.

Anthony Croce, the man described as the capo, faces a maximum sentence of five years prison if convicted on the gambling charges.

Three others face heavier sentences of between five and 40 years if convicted on cocaine distribution charges, the prosecutor said.

New York's five mafia crime families -- the Bonanno, Colombo, Gambino, Genovese and Luchese -- have taken big hits in the last decade as veteran leaders died and turncoats helped the authorities make strings of arrests.

This August, New York police arrested the alleged former capo of the Gambinos, John "Junior" Gotti. He is due to be tried in Florida on racketeering charges.

Cynthia McKinney Prevented From Leaving U.S.

Paul Joseph Watson
Prison Planet.com
Tuesday, November 25, 2008

Former Congresswoman and presidential candidate Cynthia McKinney has been prevented from leaving the country after she planned to give a speech in Damascus Syria at a Conference being held to commemorate the 60th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.




Has McKinney been put on a terrorist watch list merely for speaking out in support of 9/11 first responders and passionately questioning the official 9/11 story?

“Today, November 23rd, I was slated to give remarks in Damascus, Syria at a Conference being held to commemorate the 60th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and, sadly, the 60th year that the Palestinian people have been denied their Right of Return enshrined in that Universal Declaration. But a funny thing happened to me while at the Atlanta airport on my way to the Conference: I was not allowed to exit the country,” writes McKinney.

“I do believe that it was just a misunderstanding,” she adds, though why a well known former Georgia congresswoman who represented Atlanta, the city in which she was born, would not be allowed to board a plane raises disturbing questions.

Has McKinney been put on a terrorist watch list merely for speaking out in support of 9/11 first responders and passionately questioning the official 9/11 story?

As many will recall, McKinney was perhaps the first major public figure to doubt the official version of events way back in 2002, which at the time was tantamount to treason.

Gates: Active force, reserves must integrate

SecDef calls for Congress to mandate that Guard, Reserves have lead in DoD ops in the homeland

By William H. McMichael - Staff writer
Posted : Tuesday Nov 25, 2008 12:35:28 EST



Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates took a giant step Monday toward more tightly blending the active-duty military and reserve components into an “integrated total force,” calling for wide-ranging personnel policy changes, codifying the reserves’ homeland defense role and adequately funding oft-overlooked reserve equipment requirements.

In a Monday memo sent to every senior uniformed and civilian Pentagon leader and copied to three other cabinet secretaries, Gates directed the development of a new Total Force Integration Policy that recognizes the “cultural divide that exists” between the active and reserve components. “All vestiges of the cultural prejudice” that remain in law “should be removed” by Congress, he wrote.

Gates also called upon Congress to “mandate that the National Guard and Reserves have the lead role in and form the backbone of DoD operations in the homeland.”

Congress, the Commission on the National Guard and Reserves it chartered and the Pentagon, Gates wrote in his 41-page memo, “all recognize that the National Guard and the Reserves are integral to the Total Force and have assumed a greater operational role in today’s force.”

The commission distributed the memo Monday evening in advance of the Pentagon’s planned Tuesday release.

Gates endorsed 82 of the 95 recommendations issued by the commission in its final report in January — some of the 82, he noted, have already been completed or are currently being implemented.

Twenty of the 82 recommendations will require the support of Congress; one asks the president to direct all federal agencies to issue guidance emphasizing the importance of reserve service and to prescribe sanctions for civilian supervisors who fail to comply with guidelines regarding treatment of reservists.

The directives and recommendations represent a near-sweeping endorsement of three years of work by the commission, which said that significant reforms were needed to support the reserve component’s relatively new operational status, including management of the reserves as part of an integrated force.

Gates agreed, saying the Pentagon needs to blend the promotion and management of active and reserve enlisted troops and, separately, officers, into integrated manpower systems. Promotions, Gates said, should be based on the achievement of competencies, not just years of service; the services should tailor “the timing of and opportunity for promotion” by career field, “depending on service requirements.” The moves would require legislation.

Two recommendations would be annual budget action items. Gates ordered that designated “lead offices” for the remaining recommendations submit their implementation plans to the under secretary of defense for personnel and readiness within 25 days.

“The commission members and I are extremely pleased with today’s announcement,” said commission chairman Arnold Punaro in a statement that accompanied its release of the memo. Gates’ decisions, he said, “were not easy to reach and will not be easy to implement” … but are “changes that are essential if the Guard and Reserves are to remain fully capable of meeting current and future threats.”

Several of the commission’s recommendations have already been adopted, including the elevation of the National Guard to a joint activity of the Defense Department and elevating the National Guard Bureau’s chief to 4-star rank.

Gates also:

* Directed the formation of a senior study group to review the current duty status structure, including the commission's recommendation to reduce the number of duty statuses from 29 to two: on active duty, and off;

* Directed the services to conduct a “baseline review” of reserve component equipment requirements, “some of which remain tied to Cold War force management and a strategic reserve”;

* Directed the Army and Marine Corps to restore their reserve components to the highest level of readiness “as soon as possible” but no later than 2015;

* Directed the bolstering of reserve component family support services programs, particularly for transition assistance during the mobilization and demobilization process;

* Said that senior leaders at service headquarters and large commands “must be held accountable for the readiness and performance” of reserve component forces “within their purview” and that the responsibilities “must be reflected in job descriptions and performance appraisals”;

* Asked Congress to amend the Goldwater-Nichols Act to require reserve officers to be designated as “joint qualified” and, at the end of a 10-year transition period, to make joint qualification “a criterion for promotion to flag and general officer rank”;

* Asked Congress to direct the Pentagon to simplify the Tricare claims and reimbursement process to eliminate current “disincentives that discourage providers from taking part” in the program;

* Asked Congress to create a single entity that would oversee the entire Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act.

Texas Judge Recusal: Cheney indictment in Texas

http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/ap/tx/6131153.html

Hearing set for Monday in Cheney indictment

Nov. 25, 2008, 4:44AMShare



RAYMONDVILLE, Texas — A hearing was set to determine whether or not to disqualify the judge presiding over the cases filed by a South Texas prosecutor against Vice President Dick Cheney, former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and others.

The state Supreme Court's chief justice appointed District Judge Michael Peden of San Antonio to preside over a hearing Monday on a motion to recuse and disqualify Judge J. Manuel Banales.

The prosecutor asked that Banales not hear the case. District Attorney Juan Angel Guerra contends Banales has worked closely with state Sen. Eddie Lucio Jr., one of the defendants in the case.

Half of the indictments are linked to privately run federal detention centers in the sparsely populated southern Texas county and accuse the public officials of culpability in the alleged abuse of prisoners. The indictment against Cheney alleges that his personal investment in the Vanguard Group, which invests in private prison companies, gives him culpability in alleged prisoner abuse. Lucio is accused of illegally profiting from prison consulting fees.

The other half of the indictments target judges, special prosecutors and the district clerk who played a role in an earlier investigation of Guerra. It accuses them of abusing their powers in investigating Guerra's office.

Charges alleging Guerra extorted money from a bail bond company and used his office for personal business were dismissed in October, but he had already lost the March Democratic primary by then. Guerra has accused Banales of allowing the 2007 indictment against him to languish for more than a year to damage his re-election chances.

Banales appointed a temporary prosecutor to handle the local officials indicted in the case because Guerra has sparred with them for years and would be a witness in their cases.

Court Backs Warrantless Searches Abroad

Published: November 24, 2008



The authorities may lawfully conduct searches and electronic surveillance against United States citizens in foreign countries without a warrant, a federal appeals court panel said on Monday, bolstering the government’s power to investigate terrorism by ruling that a key constitutional protection afforded to Americans does not apply overseas.

The unanimous decision by a three-judge panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, in Manhattan, came in the case of three Al Qaeda terrorists convicted a few months before 9/11 in a conspiracy that involved the 1998 bombings of two American embassies in East Africa.

Basically the court said...AS LONG AS THE FBI AND DOJ AND CIA creates a false front called Al Qaeda...then...anything goes for anybody who does not look like a white caucasion US Citizen upholding the prohibition on MISPRISON OF TREASON, MISPRISON OF A FELONY, CONSPIRACY...etc.

_____________________________



The court did not address the question of whether the government could conduct warrantless wiretaps of international calls involving people in the United States, an issue that drove a wedge between the Bush administration and Congress. But the ruling did give footing to those who say that terrorism suspects can be successfully and effectively prosecuted in civilian courts.

The warrantless searches must still be reasonable, as the Constitution requires, Judge José A. Cabranes wrote for the panel, adding that the government had met that standard in the case of one defendant, Wadih el-Hage, a close aide to Osama bin Laden and a naturalized American citizen who was living in Nairobi, Kenya. The government searched his home and monitored his phone conversations.

“The Fourth Amendment’s requirement of reasonableness — but not the Warrant Clause — applies to extraterritorial searches and seizures of U.S. citizens,” the judge wrote.

_______________________

tommy:

OKAY...WHY DOES NOT THIS FAGGOT IDIOT GOP STOOGE ACT CLOWN COURT TELL US...."...what is reasonableness" and "what is not reasonable?"

_______________________

Mr. el-Hage and two other defendants had appealed their convictions for conspiring with Mr. bin Laden in a plot to kill Americans around the world.

The conspiracy included the 1998 bombings of the United States Embassies in Nairobi, Kenya, and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, which killed 224 people and wounded thousands.

While noting that Mr. el-Hage “suffered, while abroad, a significant invasion of privacy by virtue of the government’s yearlong surveillance of his telephonic communications,” the panel offered a detailed analysis of why the search was reasonable under the Constitution, given the “self-evident need to investigate threats to national security” that foreign terrorist organizations presented.


The panel said the electronic surveillance was justified — and reasonable — for a number of reasons, including that “sustained and intense monitoring” was necessary to understand a “complex, wide-ranging and decentralized” organization like Al Qaeda; and that members of covert terrorist organizations often communicated in code.

“While the intrusion on el-Hage’s privacy was great, the need for the government to so intrude was even greater,” Judge Cabranes wrote.

“This is going to be a very important precedent that intelligence agencies are going to look at, that the new Obama administration is going to look at,” Orin S. Kerr, a law professor at George Washington University, said on Monday. “These issues are critical, and the courts rarely rule on them.”

The panel also made it easier for prosecutors to protect sensitive information in terrorism cases by holding that judges may bar defendants from having access to classified materials that their lawyers may otherwise examine, if there is concern that unauthorized disclosures of information could jeopardize lives or investigations.

_______________________



The panel declined to declare, as a lower court judge had, that Miranda warnings were required in overseas interrogations of foreign suspects, but it said that a modified version of the warnings, adapted to local circumstances, could be acceptable.

“It is only through the cooperation of local authorities that U.S. agents obtain access to foreign detainees,” Judge Cabranes wrote. “We have no desire to strain that spirit of cooperation by compelling U.S. agents to press foreign governments for the provision of legal rights not recognized by their criminal justice systems.”

Michael J. Garcia, the United States attorney in Manhattan and one of the prosecutors who participated in the embassy case, called the decision “one further measure of justice for the victims of those attacks.”

Defense lawyers said that they were disappointed in the ruling, and would appeal. “We believe these issues are important enough to deserve Supreme Court review,” said Frederick H. Cohn, whose client, Mohamed Rashed Daoud al-’Owhali, was convicted in the Nairobi attack.

Joshua L. Dratel, a lawyer for Mr. el-Hage, said that the appellate decision “would seem to say that the government’s invocation of national security can trump a United States citizen’s constitutional rights across the board.”

The embassy case was the last of the large terrorism trials held in the United States before the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.

Since then, there has been a national debate over whether people accused of terrorism should be treated as criminals and tried in the federal courts, or held as enemy combatants to be tried, if at all, before military tribunals, where defendants have fewer rights and there is less public disclosure.

David D. Cole, a law professor at Georgetown University, said the ruling underscored “that we don’t need a specialized national security court; that we don’t need to depart from the traditional criminal justice system approach for prosecuting terrorists.”

The decision, which was joined by Judges Jon O. Newman and Wilfred Feinberg, was divided into three separate opinions, which totaled 178 pages.

“This criminal case presents issues of great importance, many of which are complex and novel,” Judge Cabranes wrote, observing that the case had been in the courts for a decade.

The panel also praised Judge Leonard B. Sand, who handled the trial, and Judge Kevin Thomas Duffy, who handled later proceedings, for their care, patience and fairness.

The third defendant whose conviction was affirmed was Mohammed Saddiq Odeh. A fourth defendant, Khalfan Khamis Mohamed, did not appeal his conviction. All four men are serving life sentences in the so-called Super Max prison in Florence, Colo.

Report: NSA Listened In On Blair's Personal Calls

By Zachary Roth - November 24, 2008, 11:40AM

Did U.S. intelligence listen in on the personal phone calls of Tony Blair and former Iraqi president Ghazi Al-Yawer?



That's what David Murfee Faulk, a former Arab linguist who worked at a secret NSA facility, has told ABCNews.com. Murfee Faulk says he saw and read a file on Blair's "private life" and heard "pillow talk" exchanged between Al-Yawer and his then-fiancee.

The U.S. and Britain have pledged not to collect information covertly on each other, several former intelligence officials told ABCNews.com -- though this would by no means be the first time the U.S. was found to have done so.

Last month, Murfee Faulk and another former worker at the NSA facility revealed to the news network that the agency had listened in on private calls made by American journalists, aid workers, and soldiers stationed in Iraq. A Senate panel has said it is investigating those claims.

Hopsicker on SUITCASE GATE trial...links to BUSH CRIME FAMILY--ABRAMOFF DRUG DISTRIBUTION

http://www.madcowprod.com/11242008.html



Monday Nov 24 ,2008
by Daniel Hopsicker


At least two of the four defendants convicted of working as illegal foreign agents in Florida for Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez in the Suitcase-Gate Scandal had ties to an international criminal organization which was operating successfully in Venezuela, and with seeming official impunity, long before Chavez himself came to power, The MadCowMorningNews has learned.

Both the recently-convicted Franklin Duran, and Carlos Kauffmann, who pled guilty before the trial, took part in a $7 billion bank scandal during the mid-1990’s that involved insiders looting Venezuelan banks, and led more than 200 Venezuelan bankers to flee Caracas for exile in Miami.

Duran and Kauffman began their meteoric rise to commanding fortunes, by their mid-30’s, of $100 million in Kauffmann’s case, and a staggering $800 million in Duran’s, in the banking scandal.

Also looted, ironically, was the Venezuelan government’s response to the looting: the government institution to oversee banks and ensure they weren’t looted again.




"Guido the Bagman" Discovers La Revolution



When a U.S. jury in Miami recently convicted Venezuelan businessman Franklin Duran in the Suitcase-Gate Trial, the verdict raised more questions than it answered.

The scandal, which soon became well-known throughout Latin America, began last year with the discovery of a mysterious suitcase filled with $800,000 in cash at an airport in Buenos Aires.

The $800,000, as well as $4.5 million in cash in a second suitcase which wasn't discovered, according to testimony in the trial, was a bribe--or, more charitably, a token of his esteem-- from Venezuela’s President Hugo Chavez to Nestor Kirchner and wife Cristina, the former and current Presidents of Argentina, three days in advance of a state visit by Chavez last year.

Miami "businessman" Guido Antonini Wilson, hereafter known as "Guido the Bagman," said it was his suitcase. And then began the cover-up attempt that ended when four Venezuelan men were eventually convicted of attempting to secure Guido's silence about the source of the loot.

From the start, observers saw the purpose of the prosecution as being to embarrass and point a finger at corruption in the government of Venezuela’s current President (and Bush Administration bete noire) Hugo Chavez.

But while Chavez’s “Bolivarian revolution” was being singled out by Bush Administration prosecutors as the source of the corruption, the men acting on Chavez’s behalf have connections which have so far been ignored to scandals which occurred under past Venezuelan Presidents as well.




A really bad day in Buenos Aires



In stories today and over the next two days we will report the results of a two-month long investigation into the facts behind the Suitcase-Gate Scandal, and offer a partial reconstruction of what was, for those involved, “a bad day in Buenos Aires.”

Evidence unearthed to date points to a thorough-going cover-up. Among the items being concealed:



Details repeatedly left out or omitted, in both media accounts and in the trial itself, which would have identified not just the individuals charged in the case, but also implicated a larger criminal organization with corrupt ties to previous Venezuelan Presidents for at least the past two decades.

Among the crucial details being concealed is the role played by the international criminal organization of Argentine “businessman” Alfredo Yabrán, widely reported to have international Mafia connections as well as extremely close ties to the Argentine military juntas responsible for atrocities during Argentina’s “dirty war” in the 1970's and 80's.

Yabrán later became the Argentine kingmaker behind disgraced former President Carlos Menem. He was at one time so powerful in Argentina that his picture had never appeared in a newspaper.

When a photo of him was finally published, he had the journalist who took the photograph murdered: shot and then burned to death in his car.





Suitcase-Gate jet owned by client of Jack Abramoff



Also hidden from public view during the trial was the identity of the owner of the American-registered (N5113S) top-of-the-line luxury Citation X jet carrying the cash-filled suitcase flight to Buenos Aires.

As we reported in our last story, the jet carried the same registration, or" N" number, as that of a plane flying for Air-Scan, a CIA aviation contractor in Iraq.

In tomorrow’s follow-up story, The MadCowMorningNews will publish another exclusive: the plane’s official FAA registration, which can be traced to a former major client of disgraced Republican lobbyist Jack Abramoff.

The plane was owned, the registration records indicate, by a woman who first struck it rich as a 800-number sex-lines porn mogul, then as an Internet “porn princess,” and finally as majority owner of one of the world’s most lucrative online gambling sites.

Today she is an American living in exile in Gibraltar, and one of the world's wealthiest women.

Her picture has never appeared in a newspaper, either.




Mafioso connection never heard in court



Another apparently pivotal player unmentioned at the trial is Alex del Nogal, who fled Argentina the same day his associate Guido Antonini Wilson was caught smuggling a cash-stuffed suitcase into Buenos Aires.

One month later, Del Nogal was arrested in Italy after an international manhunt. He was charged, and later convicted, of international narcotics trafficking.

Amazing but true: this particular “Guido associate” had been serving 20 years in Venezuelan prison for murdering a business rival by shooting him in the head and then dropping him from a plane into the Caribbean… until being pardoned by Hugo Chavez in 2001, and appointed to the Venezuelan secret police.



It had all the elements of a first class spy thriller: An impressive stash of contraband cash, winging its way to Argentina in the middle of the night, on a Cessna Citation X luxury business jet, the fastest civilian airplane in history.

And there was a strong whiff of drug and arms trafficking, made more plausible by the fact that the Citation is faster than any drug interdiction planes of the DEA, or, for that matter, of almost any other country in the world





Hezbollah, the U.S. 4th Fleet, & Disinformation



Suitcase-Gate had real world consequences. Venezuela began staging war games with Russian forces. Argentina and Bolivia kicked out their U.S. Ambassadors. Venezuela spent billions of petrodollars on Russian weapons.

And Hugo Chavez “reached out,” as they say on the Soprano’s, to Iran, cultivating warm bilateral relations.

Not to be out-done, the U.S. Navy reestablished its Fourth Fleet, which had been disestablished way back in 1950, to oversee U.S. naval activities in Latin American and Caribbean waters.

And Western officials began expressing fears that the Iranian-backed terrorist group Hezbollah is using Venezuela as a base for operations.

What was going on? Was all this over a lousy $800 grand?

Did Venezuelan strongman Hugo Chavez really spend $30 billion dollars to win influence in South America?

Was Chavez trash-talking Uncle Sam while sending money and weapons to FARC guerrillas in Colombia?

What's the truth about the charge that Venezuela is doing business with Hezbollah?

Clearly the citizenry of all three countries—the U.S., Venezuela, and Argentina— deserve to know more.

Obama to Take On Torture?


By Michael Isikoff | NEWSWEEK
Published Nov 22, 2008
From the magazine issue dated Dec 1, 2008


Despite the hopes of many human-rights advocates, the new Obama Justice Department is not likely to launch major new criminal probes of harsh interrogations and other alleged abuses by the Bush administration. But one idea that has currency among some top Obama advisers is setting up a 9/11-style commission that would investigate counterterrorism policies and make public as many details as possible.

"At a minimum, the American people have to be able to see and judge what happened," said one senior adviser, who asked not to be identified talking about policy matters. The commission would be empowered to order the U.S. intelligence agencies to open their files for review and question senior officials who approved "waterboarding" and other controversial practices.

Obama aides are wary of taking any steps that would smack of political retribution. That's one reason they are reluctant to see high-profile investigations by the Democratic-controlled Congress or to greenlight a broad Justice inquiry (absent specific new evidence of wrongdoing).


"If there was any effort to have war-crimes prosecutions of the Bush administration, you'd instantly destroy whatever hopes you have of bipartisanship," said Robert Litt, a former Justice criminal division chief during the Clinton administration.

_________________________________



A new commission, on the other hand, could emulate the bipartisan tone set by Tom Kean and Lee Hamilton in investigating the 9/11 attacks. The 9/11 panel was created by Congress. An alternative model, floated by human-rights lawyer Scott Horton, would be a presidential commission similar to the one appointed by Gerald Ford in 1975 and headed by Nelson Rockefeller that investigated cold-war abuses by the CIA.

The idea of such panels is not universally favored among Obama advisers. Some with ties to the intelligence community fear the demoralizing impact on intelligence officers, said one source who had discussions with Obama aides about the idea. But during the campaign, both Obama and Eric Holder, slated to be nominated as attorney general, sharply criticized the use of torture and the legal rulings that permitted them. Holder called some Bush counterterror policies "excessive and unlawful."

The legal rulings on interrogation are among matters being reviewed by an Obama transition team headed by David W. Ogden, once chief of staff to former attorney general Janet Reno. The team has already moved into the first floor of Justice. Detainee policies are an even stickier issue—underscored last week when a federal judge ordered the release of five Bosnians held at Guantánamo Bay. Obama is committed to shutting down Gitmo. But his advisers are wrestling with what to do about the remaining 250 detainees there, especially those considered dangerous. Obama is unlikely to continue the military tribunals started by President Bush. One idea his advisers are exploring is the creation of new national-security courts. But a spokesman for Obama's transition team said that decisions on all of these issues won't be made till after the new national-security team is in place.

When stealing metal from elevator shafts...don't forget the counterwieght?

Thou Shalt Not Steel
2008 Darwin Award Nominee
Confirmed True by Darwin

(8 March 2008, Czech Republic)

Steel is valuable, especially the high grade alloy used in steel cable. Scrap metal dealers do not ask questions.

They pay in cash.

And a good supply of cables can be found in elevator shafts.


This particular goldmine was a towering shaft inside an empty grainery near Zatec, 40miles northwest of Prague. The cable was tightly fastened, and the far end of it disappeared into the shadowy distance above.

After substantial wear and tear on a hacksaw, our man finally cut through the strong steel cable. At that instant, the counterbalance, no longer held in check, started to move silently downwards, accelerating until it reached the bottom of the shaft.

Result: one proud winner of a "terminal velocity" Darwin Award.

R.I.P.

QUARTZITE, ARIZONA: warm weather, big skies, dessert solitude

Recently,

I've been in the Arizona dessert. Quartzite is one of my favorite small towns in the best wintering area in America--the dessert floor in South West Arizona and South East California (The famous IMPERIAL VALLEY, big flat ag area).

1) QUARTZITE, ARIZONA is a favorite for me because of all the mountain ranges around here. Sun set an Sun Down always puts on a good show of light with layers of mountain ranges in the distance. PALM CANYON is a place on BLM land (one good reason to be here because for 14 DAYS IT IS ALL FREE--then you got to move 25 miles) where you can get away from it all. It's called PALM CANYON because it is a rare place where indigenous Palm trees thrive. Quartzite is growing man? Nothing here, and no reason to be here in summer (too hot) but winters, are delightful. Nighttime temps have been 48--50 degrees. Just perfect for camping out.

----a) One wacky nut is the guy selling used books in the nude? Yup. This old dried up fruitcake likes waiting on customers with a prominent red jockstrap, that shows up a shameful shriveled up ass, that does a good job GETTING RID OF REPEAT CUSTOMERS. The prices are inflationary, and disgraceful...so...if you want to avoid a bad used book store, you'll know when you get there. Maybe Arizona needs to pass a law against old nakidity...ya know? Anyway...I do give the guy credit for "doing it his way" in a fairly Republican police state.

----b) On Saturday, I watched a college football team I had hopes for, TEXAS TECH (who knocked off TEXAS at home in the last seconds a while back). TECH came to Norman, Okla trying to beat a very good team that was and is "every bit as good as TEXAS" but did lose to TEXAS BY TEN at THE RED RIVER SHOOTOUT. That was a great game that kept me addicted to college ball over the pros.

Despite high hopes from me...TECH GOT SHELLACKED real quick by OKlahoma.

42--7 at the end of the half, and...TECH WAS A NO SHOW JOKE.

What the fuck is wrong with TECH on the road?...but GREAT IN LUBBOCK?

I don't know?

When the game got quickly out of reach, I started talking to a truckdriver who was watching: This guy was a small very quick running back out of San Antonio, and eventually assaulted his college coach, and then got kicked out of college. He ended up joining the Marines and played tailback for the Leathernecks...and...he was a strike breaker in LA when NFL went on strike. Good guy. Enjoyed talking to him....but we both agreed that the TECH COACH should have taken his first team offense and defense off the field when it was 21--0, to bring the second teams out who are usually as good as first teams at the Division 1 level.

The TECH coach had nothing to lose because FIRST TEAM TECH, were intimidated and worthless before the half?


----c) Quartzite is a favorite of mine because of the BLM land surrounding it. You can have camp fires, and alot of solitude to boondock on. Some mining claims out here. I watched a guy drive up on his quad, and shovel dirt and gravel into buckets. Beats the hell out of me, what this guy is looking for, other than a workout.



2) Heading out of Quartzite, I noticed how the LOVES TRUCK STOP gas prices are dropping 5 cents a day? Holy christ...I thought the GOP swine would rape us up to the end, but I guess they are letting us breath for awhile.

Heading south, you can go to BLYTHE, CALIFORNIA or straight south past an Army Proveing Ground past a wildlife refuge.

I love Wildlife Refuges.

Great bird watching.

I was lucky outside of ROSWELL, NEW MEXICO to find a great refuge full of Sand Hill Cranes. Wonderful birds. Great fun watching them fly and snark around like the goofiest gooniest damn things in the air. I understand, in April they fly up to Nebraska...and alot of people in the Midwest watch the show.

Speaking of New Mexico...THE CHIRICAHUA NATIONAL MONUMENT is a delightful area bordered by a National Forest. It is famous among bird watchers.

..."The Chiricahua Mountains are one of the many "sky island" ranges in southern Arizona. They rise like islands from the surrounding grassland "sea". Plants and animals from four ecosystems; Rocky Mountains, Sierra Madre Mountains, Sonoran & Chihuahuan Deserts, meet here. Watch for black bear, mountain lions, Arizona white-tail deer, coati-mundis, snakes & lizards, and a variety of birds."


Nice gravel road up the mountain for fantastic views in a very remote area of South East Arizona. Way too cold at night here at this elevation. Had frost on the windows in the morning, and got pretty damn cold. At the national monument, you got a great winding road, and nice pinnacle formations with little or no development or people around. Too cold for me right now...so...had to go west for sea level elevations to get the warm air at night.

At night, driving far below the speed limit, I accidentally glanced a young doe white tail deer, and knocked her out for awhile. I circled back, and waited until she walked away somewhat dazed. I waited to make sure another car did not come down the road and hit her in the middle of the road. I was relieved to see her stumble off to the brush, and was happy that her legs were not broken. It happens so fast, and I was glad that I was driving ten miles slower than posted....otherwise, I think I would have hit her mother alot harder.


3) WENT south from Quartzite to HOLTVILLE, CA in The famous IMPERIAL VALLEY, a wonderous flat green vegetable garden famous for hotsprings.

Went past BRAWLEY where BLM has a sand dune park for off roaders.

Lots of dune buggies and people playing in the sand with very expensive rigs fitted with high performance engines and elaborate engineering. Gigantic Dunes...great bowls...and miles to run. Last year I talked to the Rangers at HQ, and got the lowdown on "all the crap they put up with".

Lots of drunk wackos going nuts at high speeds and lots of injuries...on sand dunes?

Rangers even got their own buggy decked out with lights and a high performance engine with headers and all.




4) From Brawley to HOLTVILLE, where there is a BLM long term famous for attracting the Canadian elderly hauling trailors to an oasis setting with tall palms.

Lots of old timers talking about health problems all day at the hotspring.

Christ....old age is nothing but an endless series of health fiascos with death knocking on your RV door. Misery, and hey man..."I am too young to listen to this fucking crap."

"Die already or shut the fuck up...eh?"

Canadians use "Eh?" as a salutation and punctuation strategy. Funny that way. By and large, the Canucks are good people and come from a better run country than America ever was.

Last year at the springs, I remember talking to a real nutcase who likes working with wood. And the guy loves NASCAR. So...he made a wooden model of a 350 V8 engine with real pistons and camshaft. You had to see this nut go on about how great NASCAR is with all the engineering and different tracks with idiosyncratic tendencies requiring a driver to change and adapt.

Too me, NASCAR is redundant, and could not be better than college football.



5) AS FAR AS BARACK'S new presidency...it looks like the same bunch of insider swindling scum who betrayed America the last thirty years. CLINTON--RAHMBO--HOLDER add nothing to the "audacity of hope" defecit, and...NOTHING WILL CHANGE.

WITH BARRACK already hinting that "there will be no justice for TORTURE OR INTERROGATION"....I had to turn on this stooge.

THE FUCKHEADS CHIPPED ME, RAN AN ILLEGAL SUBLIMINAL DEBRIEFING, FRIED ME AND OTHERS WITH A DIRECTED ENERGY WEAPON, COMMITTED PATRIOT ACT MURDERS covered up by a cowardly gutless lowlife criminal named ROBERT SWAN MUELLER, III AT FBI HQ.....and this fuckhead clown President, has not heard me testify...nor has BARACK HINTED THAT SOME TYPE OF FED GRAND JURY SHOULD BE SUBPOENAING PEOPLE LINKED TO THIS ORWELL MEETS KAFKA CHARADE?


BARACK and HOLDER refuse to admire my view of the facts?...because they believe the FBI'S VERSION OF EVENTS?

DEMOCRATS LET FUCKHEAD MUELLER AND CIA AND DOD CIFA UNIT control the spin...with no interest IN hearing from me?

MR OBAMA...3 DEAD SOUTH DAKOTANS ARE GONNA BE COVERED UP BECAUSE FBI IS LINKED TO DRUG DEALING IN MONTANA? See my US DOJ OIG--FBI OPR COMPLAINT.


MR OBAMA, AND MR HOLDER:


----How is an innocent medical doctor named MARK GORDON, a terrorist who deserved to monitored with a pin hole spy camera in his home, and also fried with a DEW?

----Who murdered Daschle's ex chief of staff RICH GORDON, and why?

----How is YPD SGT DEFENBAUGH, a terrorist?

----How is YANKTON, SD, LAWYER JOHN KABIESEMAN a terrorist?

----Who knocked down BOB NELSON'S PLANE OVER NORTH DAKOTA?



These are all questions...for Holder to study.

HOW AM I, THOMAS S. BEAN, A FUCKING TERRORIST when I've been the victim of a secret right wing CONSPIRACY TO TAMPER WITH A FUCKING WITNESS who stuck his neck out to prevent children from being blown up at THE FUCKING MURRAY BUILDING?


There is alot more.

Ask Mukasy...if he has all the info that FBI CONVENIENTLY HIDES WHEN LYING BY OMISSION AND SECRETLY USING OPERATION SLAMMER SUBLIMINAL PROGRAMMING TO NEUTRALIZE MY CHARACTER?


WHO DID THE SCHOOL SHOOTERS ON A SHELF PROGRAM and why does LEAHY and CONYERS ALWAYS CARRY THE SPIN FOR FBI--CIA--NSA--DOD CIFA UNIT?????????????????


DURING THE NAZI SHITHEAD NEOCON FUCKHEAD IMPERIOUS PRESIDENCY...we had 3 SCHOOL SHOOTINGS IN SEVEN DAYS...TWICE?

28 REDACTED PAGES in bogus 9/11 Commission report: CHERTOFF KIKE KNEW ABOUT Mossad's false flag..and Obama likes KIKES?

ALATTAS: WAS Oklahoma University'S SAUDI 9-11 PROVOCATEUR PROTECTED BY DOJ?



Patrick Briley

October 30, 2005

NewsWithViews.com



Saudi Hussein Moshen AlAttas spent time at the University of Oklahoma (OU) in 2000 and 2001 with Black Muslim Melvin Lattimore (Muslim name is Menepta). AlAttas was on a rental agreement at an OU apartment but he also spent time in Lattimore's residence and in OU's Parkview apartment rooms with 9/11 hijackers Al Hazmi, Moussaoui, Atta and AlShehhi.


AlAttas visited the Norman mosque and Norman Airman flight school with the same 9/11 hijackers. AlAttas is also believed to have known Nick Berg, the former OU student beheaded in Iraq. The Norman mosque is across the street from OU's Parkview apartments. The OU student, Joel Hinrichs, who was blown up by TATP explosives on October 1, 2005, lived with a Pakistani roommate, Fazal Cheema, in Parkview apartments. Hinrichs was seen with Islamic students for months going in and out of the same Norman mosque and his room at Parkview apartments. [1]


AlAttas drove Moussaoui from Norman, Oklahoma to Minnesota for Moussaoui to attend flight school training. AlAttas was arrested with Moussaoui in Minnesota by the FBI but released on $5000 bail to Lattimore in August 2001. Lattimore and AlAttas returned to Norman. FBI headquarters in DC blocked the viewing of Moussaoui's computer files by local Minnesota FBI agents in August 2001 even though an FBI agent in Minnesota warned FBI headquarters that Moussaoui was likely involved in a plot to attack the WTC centers.


Also in August 2001 the Pennsylvania flight ticket for 9/11 hijacker Ziad Jarrah was purchased at the OU library in Norman.

Jarrah was part of Attas' and AlShehhi's Hamburg cell that was being tracked by CIA agent David Edger for over 3 years.

But as Jarrads ticket was being purchased and as Moussaoui was being driven to Minnesota by AlAttas, David Edger suddenly showed up at OU also in August 2001 to be a visiting professor invited by his close friend, David Boren.

Boren is the president of OU, the former Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee and CIA director George Tenet's mentor. As his OU press books, publications and speeches reveal, Boren is an outspoken CFR and "Skull and Bones" public advocate of promoting world government with Islamics around the word and especially on the OU campus. Boren went to Yale and is a prominent member of both the CFR and "Skull and Bones."


AlAttas was again arrested after the 9/11 attacks in Norman, OK on an expired visa charge and was taken by the FBI to New York. AlAttas eventually pled guilty to lying to FBI agents under an original plea bargain arrangement with the DOJ in which AlAttas was supposed to leave the US and return to Saudi Arabia. The Daily Oklahoman and Norman Transcript newspapers reported on Lattimore publicly defending AlAttas after the AlAttas arrest in Norman after the 9/11 attacks.


Lattimore was later arrested, tried, convicted and sentenced for 14 months in November 2001 for carrying a firearm under a previous felony conviction. It has been reported that Lattimore's credit card was used for the 1993 WTC bombers and that Lattimore helped McVeigh in the 1995 OKC bombing. This information was known to DOJ criminal division attorneys John C. Richter and Michael Chertoff (currently Director of Homeland Security) in 2001 when Richter prosecuted Lattimore on the much lesser firearms charge to hide from the public limelight Lattimore's role as an FBI informant and provocateur in the 1993 WTC, OKC bombings and 9/11 attacks.[2,4]



According to publicly available records and news accounts, Moussaouis has claimed in Moussaoui's court proceeding papers that the former Imam of OU's mosque called and spoke to AlAttas and Moussaoui in Minnesota shortly before they were arrested in Minnesota. The Imam is alleged to have said to AlAttas and Moussaoui words to the effect that "I understand that you are on a jihad mission." Why the FBI would release AlAttas to Lattimore in Minnesota after the arrest of AlAttas and Moussaouis is suspicious but consistent with the DOJ and FBI protection of their provocateur informant, Melvin Lattimore.


However, when Chertoff and Richter for the DOJ made the plea agreement with AlAttas, the FBI and DOJ (via FBI agents Stephen Butler and Ken Williams) already knew that Hussein Moshen AlAttas had also spent time in San Diego with hijackers Hani Hanjour, AlMihdahr, AlSheehi and AlHazmi. AlAttas also spent time in the San Diego apartment rented to the hijackers by FBI informant/landlord Abdusattar Shaikh. And it is also extremely likely that Saudi citizen AlAttas was known to and met with Saudi royal financer of 9/11, Bayoumi in San Diego. This is because it is known that Bayoumi met with the same hijackers AlAttas knew and stayed with in San Diego and at OU in Norman, OK.


AlAttas plea agreement without imprisonment but to get AlAttas to leave the US was made to preclude public exposure and possible prosecution of real Saudi royal and US (Bush) connections/ foreknowledge provocation of the 9/11 attacks.



AlAttas was given "royal treatment" not just because he was connected to a Saudi royal relative, but also because he, like Melvin Lattimore, was known to (an operative for?) the FBI at OU and in San Diego for two three years before 9/11.


FBI agent Stephen Butler was blocked by GW Bush from testifying to the 9/11 Congressional investigation about 9/11 and the San Diego cell of AlAttas, Bayoumi, AlMidahr, AlHazmi etc.

Porter Goss' staff director on the House intelligence committee, James Lewis, who wrote the Congressional report, specifically left out the part about AlAttas and the San Diego cell. I know, because Lewis threatened me with an FBI investigation for my calling Lewis and giving him info about the San Diego cell members even before (but near the end of) the 9/11 Congressional report was completed. AlAttas and his connections with the San Diego hijackers and Bayoumi were related to the 28 missing pages redacted by James Lewis specifically for current CIA director Porter Goss and GW Bush.


AlAttas, Lattimore and Ali Mohammed were eventually set free by the efforts of John C. Richter and Chertoff to protect and hide their roles with the FBI, CIA and DOJ in terror attacks on America [2,3,4].


John Richter, like CIA agent David Edger, was suddenly put in place at OU in August 2001 just before 9/11 and was used to cover up AlAttas' and Lattimore's roles and CIA/FBI foreknowledge in 9/11 at OU. Also in August 2001 John Richter's wife was given a prestigious position as a professor in OU's law school with the knowledge and approval of David Boren.

Great Art!



Austrian director Johann Kresnik's re-interpretation of the classic Verdi opera "A Masked Ball" opened for a limited engagement in Berlin in April, aimed at America's "war and the excesses of American society today," he said. In one scene, against a backdrop of the ruins of the World Trade Center, 35 naked senior citizens danced, wearing Mickey Mouse masks. [Agence France-Presse, 4-10-08]




"Art is no longer just a painting on the wall," said the curator of the Museum of Bat Yam, near Tel Aviv, Israel, in April. "Art is life; life is art." He gave that as an explanation for why he had accepted, as a live exhibit, seven young people from Berlin whose art is merely to live in the museum for three weeks with lice on their heads. The artists denied they intended a Holocaust expression based on Nazis' references to Jews as "parasites." [Reuters, 4-28-08]



Worth Every Penny: At an April auction in Beijing, artist Liu Xiaodong's large (8 feet by 30 feet) oil painting, part of his Three Gorges series, brought the equivalent of about $8 million. The work, "Breeding Ground No. 1," depicts 11 men in their underwear playing cards. [Reuters, 4-29-08]



In May in New York City, a buyer spent $15.2 million at a Sotheby's auction to acquire sculptor Takashi Murakami's "My Lonesome Cowboy," which is of a naked man holding his penis and creating a long, curly lasso out of his ejaculate. [New York magazine, 5-15-08]

In July, the new smoking ban for bars and restaurants in the Netherlands took effect, but it won't curtail patrons' right to smoke marijuana in Amsterdam's coffee shops (where they can buy up to 5 grams a day to smoke on the premises).

And, just as the ban became law, the Dutch special-effects company Rain Showtechniek began selling a machine to bars (for the equivalent of about $900) that, for nostalgia, replicates the scent of traditional, cigarette-smoked air (but which does not damage health or linger in clothing or hair.)

Steffen confessed to the killing but vehemently protested for almost a quarter century that he did not rape her, and, finally, a 2007 DNA test of semen backed him up, disturbing the family even more (and calling Steffen's death sentence into question).


In July 2008, the prosecutor learned that the DNA belonged to 55-year-old Kenneth Douglas, who is not a suspect in the murder but who was a morgue assistant in 1982 when the woman's body arrived and, said the prosecutor, had sex with it.


Though the statute of limitations likely prevents prosecuting Douglas, the woman's parents seemed somewhat comforted that, after all, their daughter was a virgin. [Cincinnati Enquirer, 8-13-08]

Hearing on Cheney indictment turns chaotic

By Christopher Sherman

ASSOCIATED PRESS


Saturday, November 22, 2008

RAYMONDVILLE — A county prosecutor who brought indictments against Vice President Dick Cheney, former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and others pounded his fist and shouted at the judge Friday about special treatment for high-profile defendants as a routine motions hearing descended into chaos.

Willacy County District Attorney Juan Angel Guerra, who is accusing the public officials of culpability in the alleged abuse of prisoners in a federal detention center, asked Presiding Judge Manuel Banales to recuse himself. Guerra has complained about Banales' handling of the case.

Attorneys for the vice president and other defendants leaped to their feet in objection, as Guerra pounded the table and accused Banales of giving the defendants special treatment in allowing motions to quash the indictments to be heard before the defendants were arraigned.

"Now, all of a sudden there is urgency," Guerra shouted. "Eighteen months you kept me indicted through the election."

Guerra was referring to his own indictment on charges of extorting money from a bail bond company and using his office for personal business until Banales dismissed the indictment last month. Guerra lost re-election in the March Democratic primary.

Banales called a recess to contact the chief justice of the state Supreme Court for suggestions on how to proceed.

After the recess, Banales said he spoke with the general counsel for the state Supreme Court who said the chief justice and next most senior justice weren't available. Banales adjourned court later in the afternoon after announcing that he would send all documents pertaining to the recusal motion to the chief justice.

Banales tentatively scheduled the parties to return to court Wednesday morning.

Unlike the initial hearing last Wednesday when Guerra was absent and media and attorneys for the indicted appeared in equal numbers, curious residents packed the well-worn pews of the Willacy County Courthouse's only courtroom Friday.

Half of the indictments returned Monday are linked to privately run federal detention centers in the sparsely populated southern Texas county. The other half target judges and special prosecutors who played a role in an earlier investigation of Guerra.

Banales appointed a special prosecutor to handle the local officials indicted along with Cheney, Gonzales and state Sen. Eddie Lucio Jr., D-Brownsville, because Guerra has sparred with them for years.

The GEO Group Corp. was indicted on a murder charge in the death of an inmate at a federal prison.

"The indictment is the product of prosecutorial vindictiveness and is void on its face," defense attorney Tony Canales, who represents the private prison operator, wrote in a motion. Canales is also the legal representative for Cheney and Gonzales.

Another indictment alleges that Cheney's personal investment in the Vanguard Group, which invests in private prison companies, gives him culpability in alleged prisoner abuse.

The grand jury also charged Lucio with illegally profiting from prison consulting fees.

Obama certificate lawsuit dismissed

Judge says Net author Martin had no standing to get birth document

By Jim Dooley

Advertiser Staff Writer




A Circuit Court judge has dismissed Internet author Andy Martin's lawsuit seeking to obtain a copy of President-elect Barack Obama's Hawai'i birth certificate.
_______________

tommy:


WHO DOES HAVE STANDING? WE HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW IF OBAMA IS A US CITIZEN...RIGHT? WHATEVER MOSSAD OPINES ON THIS ISSUE...should determine US BEST INTERESTS BECAUSE, whatever Rahmbo wants, should be the opposite of US interests?
_____________


Judge Bert Ayabe upheld arguments from Gov. Linda Lingle's administration that Martin — a political opponent of Obama — had no standing under state law to obtain a copy of the document.

The decision, issued late Wednesday, first denied Martin's "emergency motion" for production of the birth certificate.

Martin "does not have a direct and tangible interest in the vital statistic records being sought, namely the birth certificate of President Obama," Ayabe wrote.

Martin did not fall into any category of persons defined under state law as having a legal right to the record, said the judge.

Ayabe wrote that Martin also failed to demonstrate that "irreparable harm will occur if the records are not provided to the plaintiff."

And Martin provided "insufficient evidence to indicate that the public interest supports" release of the record, Ayabe ruled.

"There is a reasonable belief that the public would rather preserve confidentiality of vital health records," the judge wrote.

After denying the emergency motion, Ayabe then granted a motion filed by the state attorney general's office for dismissal of the suit.

He cited Martin's "lack of standing" and also ruled that Martin never legally served Lingle and state Health Department director Dr. Chiyome Fukino with a copy of the legal complaint.

Attempts to reach Martin for comment yesterday by telephone and e-mail were unsuccessful.

Fukino has said that her office has been barraged by requests for copies of the birth certificate, driven in part by Internet assertions that Obama was not born in Honolulu or the United States and is not eligible to serve as president.

The Obama political campaign posted a copy of the document on its Web site, but that did not satisfy doubters because the official state seal was not visible and because the official certificate number had been blacked out.

Before the election, Fukino issued a statement saying that she and the registrar of vital statistics had personally examined the birth certificate and found it to be valid.

Martin, a New York-based blogger and self-described head of the "Stop Obama Coalition," moved temporarily to Hawai'i and filed the lawsuit late last month.

Ayabe originally scheduled the first legal hearing for Nov. 7, and Martin then unsuccessfully petitioned the state Supreme Court for an expedited hearing before the Nov. 4 general election.

A brief hearing on the issue was held Tuesday before Ayabe.

Martin said in a Wednesday entry on his blog that he was launching a "national conversation on how to oppose Barack Obama," and the first in a series of meetings on the subject was held Wednesday night at Ala Moana Park.

The Judeo-Russian Mafia: From the Gulag to Brooklyn to World Dominion


by M. Raphael Johnson, Ph.D.


While the FBI and major media obsess about the Sicilian Mafia (the “Cosa Nostra”) a far more powerful and sinister force is in existence that has controlled most of the globe’s organized crime for at least two decades—the Jewish mafia from Russia (a “Kosher Nostra”). Yet there is not even a desk at the FBI for their crimes, which dwarf those of the Italian gangsters in scope, violence and depth.


Alexander Lebed




On April 28, 2002, a military helicopter went down in the southern part of the Krasnoyarsk region of Siberia. On board was a major Russian dignitary, Gen. Alexander Lebed, governor of the region. Lebed was pronounced dead at the scene. Almost immediately, the international press blamed “heavy fog” for the incident. However, at the time, every member of the Russian military was convinced the death of Lebed was no accident, but rather another hit by the international Jewish mafia, an organization that had long since taken control over much of Russia’s economy.


Lebed, likely the most popular man in Russia at the time, was going to build a national socialist empire—possibly with Chinese assistance—based on the massive oil and mineral wealth of the region.


Had he succeeded, world history could have changed, and the 21st century would look very different. Prior to that, dozens of anti-Zionists in Russia had been murdered by car bombs or other devices, while none of the cases was ever solved. Only a handful was even investigated.


The very fact that the Jewish mafia (often misnamed the “Russian” mafia) was capable of completely covering its tracks, being completely left out of all news reports surrounding the incident, while the common people (in Russia) were utterly convinced of their complicity, proves the immense strength of this rather new movement of organized crime. The Jewish mafia is nothing like their Irish or Italian predecessors in its American or European operations. They are richer, more international in scope and far more violent and ruthless.

They kill children.

They kill policemen and their families.

They kill whomever they like.



There has been nothing like it before in the history of the globe. And they are just getting started.


The investigative stories of Robert I. Friedman (1951-2002) appeared from the early 1980s. Allegedly, he died of a tropical blood disease. But many had their doubts and believed he was poisoned. The daring Jewish journalist made headlines exposing politicians, bankers and mobsters who preyed on the powerless. The ADL maligned him, death threats poured in, and he was badly beaten by West Bank thugs. Friedman warned the FBI of the threat posed by the first World Trade Center bombers and delivered vital reports on the long arms of the Russian Jewish mafia, which offered $100,000 to have him killed.


...He has interviewed the major figures in this underground and has uncovered their hiding spots and plans. After his book on the subject was published, major mafia leaders put a bounty on his head. The “Russian” mafia knows that it can kill with impunity, and, given their cozy relationship with European and American intelligence agencies, their immunity from real prosecution will only get more pronounced.



Friedman’s work is breathtaking in scope, and this essay will cite him extensively, especially his book Red Mafiya: How the Russian Mob Has Invaded America.

Friedman is not afraid to state the obvious, namely, that the entire “Russian” mafia is Jewish, without exception, and that they have used this as a shield to deflect criticism. This shield has permitted them to grow and prosper. Further, Friedman is also not afraid to admit that Jewish organizations throughout the world, led by the Anti-Defamation League, are the beneficiaries of largesse coming from organized crime, and that the organizations in question are aware of it.

In other words, Jewish organized crime is considered an acceptable part of Jewish life, and that Jewish organizations have actually lobbied law enforcement to stop investigations into this phenomenon, almost always with success. The confirmation of Zionist Michael Chertoff, to the post as chief of Homeland Security guarantees that Jewish organized crime in America will not be at the receiving end of the many stings that have targeted the Italian Mafia.


The roots of Jewish organized crime, it is said, go far back into tsarist times. Organized crime syndicates assisted Lenin’s gangs in bank robberies and the creation of general mayhem. During the so-called revolution, it was difficult, sometimes impossible, to distinguish between Bolshevik ideologues and Jewish organized crime syndicates. They acted in nearly an identical manner.


However, in more modern times, they seem to have had their roots in the waning days of the stagnant USSR under Leonid Brezhnev. By the late 1970s, the Russian economy was driven by the black market, and the early stages of the Jewish mafia were involved in this black underground. In fact, the Russian socialist economy would have collapsed much sooner if it had not been propped up by the extensive black economy. Soon, the rulers of the black market became so powerful they were able to form their own “people’s courts,” which dispensed “justice” completely apart from the Soviet state, and away from its control. Many of these black marketeers had been recently released from the gulag system of prison camps in an earlier era for their black market activities, and the toughness that was required to survive these dungeons served this new criminal elite very well (Friedman, 9).

Isn't there a lesson for law enforcement on FASCISM AND THE NEW AMERICAN TOTALITARIAN POLICE STATE's "intrinsic inability" to reach impossible goals: STOPPING CRIMINALITY. IF RUSSIA'S TOTALITARIAN POLICE STATE NEVER stamped out crime because cops and Gov scum were human, and just as corrupt as the criminals...what makes the AMERICAN POLICE STATE THINK they can "defeat human nature/human evil?

The enemy is human nature...and ignorance of human evil, and the cognitive distortions used by those UNABLE TO FOLLOW THE FUCKING LAWS OF SOCIETY.

________________



The black market acted as a safety valve for the Soviet state for decades, making all estimations of the strength of the Soviet economy subject to speculation. The black market provided many goods and services the overextended Soviet system could not provide. In the gulag, they had formed brotherhoods, much like blacks and Hispanics currently do today in prison. They formed Jewish bunds that, upon release, served to create deep bonds that exist today, maintaining a highly secretive organization almost impossible to deal with or penetrate.



Sen. Henry “Scoop” Jackson’s famous bill, the JacksonVanick law, linked Soviet trade privileges to the treatment of Soviet Jews. It was a bill lobbied heavily for by American Jewish organizations. And while non-Jews could not emigrate from Russia, Jews could. Quickly, the KGB took this opportunity to dump its hardcore criminals into the United States, many who were Jewish, as conservatives cheered, believing, naively as usual, to have scored a major victory against the USSR.


Much of the Jewish mafia’s penetration into the United States came as a result of these Soviet “boatlifts,” which were partially financed by groups such as the ADL or the Hebrew Aid Society.


Given the substantial nature of the black market and the Soviet criminal underground, and its exclusively Jewish character, it is difficult to believe that the Jewish groups who were financing the immigration of Russian Jews to America were unaware of the connections of many of the new arrivals. Regardless, much of the money earmarked for immigration to Israel was pocketed by the mafia and redirected to settling Jews in New York—the New Promised Land.


Marat Balagula was one of these. A major Jewish crime figure, he bought a restaurant in Brighton Beach, Brooklyn, named it the Odessa (a major port city in Ukraine), and quickly converted it into a central recruiting base for mobsters. It was also closely linked with Zionist agencies in the area, including the women’s group Hadassah, who used the establishment for meetings and fund raising dinners (Friedman, 17).

This restaurant also became the seat of real political power in Brooklyn, for in the upstairs part of the establishment, Balagula and other Jewish mobsters would convene the “People’s Courts,” and their word was (and is) law. Ordinary courts in the area could not hope to compete with the mobsters, well protected by powerful Jewish groups within the city and the municipal government itself.

“These courts, controlled by the Jewish mob, were more powerful and acted more quickly than the regular municipal courts of New York City. Balagula had created a state within a state.”

These courts, controlled by the Jewish mob, were more powerful and acted more quickly than the regular municipal courts of New York City. Balagula had created a state within a state. The Italian gangs in New York didn’t know what hit them. Public executions and torturings were common in Brooklyn, and in broad daylight. Often, public murders would happen for the tiniest offenses, or to prove one’s toughness. While the Italians were very cautious and deliberate, the Jewish mob was flamboyant and gratuitously violent.


Yuri Brokhin, another Jewish mobster who had already made a name for himself in America, and Balagula were heavily into stealing diamonds from jewelry stores and replacing them with cheap fakes. At one incident, narrated by Friedman, the pair pulled such a scam in Chicago, and was caught at the airport with $175,000. As it turns out, the duo was seen by a Jewish security guard in Chicago’s O’Hare Airport wearing their phony Hassidic garb on the eve of Yom Kippur, when Jews are strictly forbidden to travel.


This sloppiness got them caught. The duo was convicted, but as proof of the power of the Jewish mafia, they both got off without a jail sentence, having committed major grand larceny, among other crimes. Of course, Friedman does not speculate as to why this would be, since a major felony such as this often carried sentences over 20 years. Both Brokhin and Balagula were criminals in the USSR, and were able to transfer their wealth to America via Zionist and “charitable” organizations of Jewry.


A major connection between the halls of American political power and the Jewish mafia is the rabbi Ronald Greenwald. He knowingly did business with con artists and mafia figures, and used his major political connections to shield them. Greenwald was a major player in CREEP, the re-election campaign for Richard Nixon in 1972. Greenwald was used heavily by Nixon and other Republicans to gain the Jewish vote, which he doubled for Nixon during that election (Friedman, 31) in the state of New York. Soon, the rabbi was given a post as an “advisor” to Nixon on “Jewish poverty programs,” a post which certainly made some snicker at the time, though it was clear that Nixon owed Greenwald, and the rabbi made quick use of his newfound powers. He used his power to protect the mafia’s bilking of Medicaid programs and other crimes that were never investigated by the authorities.



His post as head of the “Jewish poverty” initiative permitted him to shield those involved with such financial scams, as well as call off any and all FBI investigations of his friends. Part of the rise of Jewish mafia groups was the protection afforded it by Greenwald’s political connections.

Greenwald was also instrumental in protecting Marc Rich, a billionaire Jewish investor with mob ties. Rich, a major player in the Clinton administration, swindled investors out of billions. Nothing was done, again, though negative media treatment against Rich was permitted largely because he did do business with Iran, and thus was considered a traitor by his fellow Jews. Eventually, Clinton pardoned Rich in a much-publicized case, and Rich is now free.

Jewish mafia investors all but took over Las Vegas, also with the political protection and patronage of Greenwald. Some years back, a movie was released called Casino, starring Robert DeNiro and Joe Pesci. Concerning itself with the takeover of Las Vegas, the film depicted Mr. Rothstein (played by the Jewish DeNiro) as the suave and successful entrepreneur, and Pesci as the typical Italian wiseguy, brash and insolent. Of course, the purpose of the movie was to absolve Jewish organized crime and transfer all blame to Italian mobsters. The opposite was true.


Balagula, before taking over Jewish mafia interests in the United States, acted as a mob functionary for the KGB. In his very own words, Balagula said that the “KGB gave him visas, no problem” (Friedman, 44) and was instrumental in sending him stolen art and jewels, which he sold to foreign tourists. The KGB also set him up as head of the largest food co-op in Ukraine, a position he quickly turned into a major black market operation with the blessings of the KGB. Near the end of the Cold War, members of the KGB viewed the Jewish crime syndicate as a source of possible new jobs for them after the old system was destroyed. So, not only did they have the patronage of the American political establishment under Greenwald, but also the decaying intelligence apparatus of the USSR as well.



BOOTLEGGING



What needs to be kept in mind about the bootlegging operation is that it was never small time. Nothing the Jewish mob did was ever small. This operation was multinational in scope. They had a fleet of massive oil tankers, tanker trucks and hundreds of gasoline stations and distributorships, all owned by Jews loyal to the mob. Balagula had created a massive mafia empire leading from North Africa to Saudi Arabia to Venezuela to Brooklyn. The Jewish mobsters developed an infrastructure within the oil trade that made them invincible. Mafia influence is substantial in the price of oil, as well as acting as the occasional go-between between the Mossad and Arab oil-producing sheikdoms. No one of substance was ever brought to justice.

With all the power that the Jewish mob has amassed, they are merely a pimple on the back of the master of them all, and a man who truly controls much of the globe. There is no one on Earth more powerful than he, and, as per usual, he remains unknown, left out of all press and television reports on the subject. The CIA considers him a “grave threat” to global security and the “world’s most dangerous man” (Friedman). The fact that he remains almost unknown shows the power of the Zionist-controlled media and their relentless drive to suppress all investigation into Jewish crime. He has created a massive, global communications network and employs hundreds of Ph.D.s in computer science, physics and economics to run his massive financial empire. He has penetrated every stock exchange in the world and controls much of the trading therein.


He was also the mastermind of the largest money-laundering scheme in U.S. history, “washing” $7 billion through the Bank of New York, which is a major branch of the Federal Reserve and his bank of choice. His name is Semion Mogilevich, born in 1946.




Basing his first operations in Israel, where he fleeced Jewish refugees from Russia, Mogilevich acquired Hungarian citizenship after making the comment that the biggest problem with Israel is that there are “too many Jews there.” However, he single-handedly controls the brothels in Israel, where Ukrainian and Russian girls are forced into sexual slavery. This is legal in Israel if the girls are non-Jews. The name of Mogilevich has been left out of every report on the phenomenon in Israel, Ukraine or the United States.

_________________



Mogilevich also controls the vodka trade in Russia and Central Europe.

Most ominously, Mogilevich has bought Hungary’s armaments industry.

In other words, he controls the military equipment being manufactured in Hungary.

He has his own army, artillery, mechanized infantry, antiaircraft guns and missiles of all types.

NATO has said that he is a “threat to the stability of Europe,” though his name remains little known.


This mobster is militarily more powerful than many European countries. He has nuclear weapons from the former Warsaw Pact countries and is presently trading with various governments and providing them with nuclear technology. He has agents in the intelligence agencies of all European countries, which means that he may never be prosecuted, for he is made aware of any pending investigation into his activities, which quickly gets quashed.


German television reported that the German intelligence service, the BND, had entered into secret negotiations with Mogilevich whereby the latter would supply information on his rivals in Russia. He has a similar arrangement with French intelligence. He has close connections to the Mossad, which destroyed his criminal file (Friedman, 245-247). Therefore he is immune to prosecution and travels freely. He controls the black market from Central Europe to Russia.


He has a Rockefeller connection as well, as his main economics advisor, Igor Fisherman was a consultant to Chase Manhattan Bank. Friedman writes, concerning the Fed and its relations to Mogilevich:


“While the bank has not been charged with any wrongdoing, some investigators believe that the money laundering could not have taken place unless senior bank officials were bought off or otherwise involved” (259). When the Justice Department began a criminal investigation into Mogilevich (which went nowhere), he accused the Department of an “antiSemitic conspiracy.”

George W. Bush’s professed mentor, Natan Sharansky, has long and deep ties to organized crime. The Congress, State Department and the CIA all have lengthy dossiers on Sharansky, who acted as a bridge between the Republican Party and Jewish thugs in a similar manner to Rabbi Greenwald. Sharansky, knowing his power, simply refused to sever his ties with organized crime, infusing the Jewish mafia into the highest echelons of the Bush administration. A pattern emerges in relation to the Republican Party: Russian Jews usually pose as “anti-Communists.” They did this partially because they had been arrested by security services for their black market activities, but also because this posture would make them valuable to Republican operatives and the Beltway “conservative movement.” Their reputations as “dissidents” protected them almost as much as their religion.



George W.’s father refused to cooperate with several investigations into Russian mob activities in Switzerland. The CIA has commented that there is no “major Russian mob figure that does not carry an Israeli passport.”

CAUSES



It might be worthwhile to delve into some of the causes of this phenomenon.

Why the Jews?


It is true that many culture groups have engaged in ethnic based organized crime, but it seems only the Italians get frequently mentioned. Today, Chechen, Hispanic and Albanian gangs are growing in power, but none has come close to being even a footnote to the Jewish clans. Few people in the FBI, CIA or DEA speak Hebrew or Yiddish. Some Jewish mobsters go back and forth between languages, including Russian, so as to make themselves more indecipherable.

The power of the Jewish gangs is wielded more ruthlessly than any other criminal gang. Jewish mobsters enjoy inflicting pain, they murder children as well as unarmed men and women. The old code of honor among Irish and Italian gangsters is nonexistent. These old-time mobsters would only kill another mobster. The Jewish gangs have no regard for these rules, and thus are more feared. The sheer arrogance of the Jewish gangsters and their outrageous self-assurance have allowed their “competition” among the Italian gangs to take a very cautious stance toward their Jewish counterparts.

The state of Israel is a major factor in the rise and power of the Jewish mafia. Jewish drug dealers, child porn pushers and slave traders are free from prosecution in Israel.

_______________

tommy:

One thing obvious about kikes...they love there money more than justice.

________________



... Israel does not consider these to be crimes, again, so long as the victims are non-Jews. The mafia proved its power in the murder of Yitzhak Rabin. The Israeli state will not extradite its citizens to nonJewish countries, and, therefore, Jewish murderers can quite easily escape punishment in Israel.


The unique situation in the former USSR, and the fact that Jews predominated in the Soviet bureaucracy, provides another link in the rise of the mafia. Jews predominated in the earlier and more primitive black market in Russia, and thus these groups were physically more ready to take advantage of the crisis in Russia beginning in the mid-1980s.

Jewish organized crime, connected to both the KGB and Mossad, automatically had the skids greased to remain off the radar screen for allied intelligence agencies.

Anybody have doubts about why I said, "....BARACK YOU GOT TO GET THE FUCKING KIKES OUT OF OUR GOVERNMENT....".

___________________



Likely the most important factor is the complete control of the media by Jewish families and the power of the ADL in American culture. The power of the Jews in America is so great that any serious investigation into Jewish crime will see shrill attacks from every major media outlet in America. In terms of public relations, it is just not worth it. Therefore, one will see a television program like The Sopranosabout Italian mobsters, but one will never see the same program featuring Jewish mobsters.


WHATCANBEDONE?



There is very little that can be done at this time. There is every reason to believe that soon, nationalists and Revisionists will be targeted by Jewish criminals with strong ties to the Mossad. The fate of the west is being decided in Moscow, not in Washington, D.C. or New York. Russian President Vladimir Putin needs to continue to centralize power in his own person. His elimination of provincial governors was meant primarily as a crime fighting campaign, as local governors were making peace with the crime bosses. Putin also needs to continue to reform the military and security services, making them more and more loyal to the new Russian order. Putin should begin publicly drawing attention to the global power of the bosses and the connivance of western powers in their rise and present prosperity.



The ruble should be made non-convertible (so as to prevent its manipulation by crime bosses in the currency markets), and a strong Sino-Slavic trading bloc needs to be solidified. Police work in Russia is now a rough business. Poorly paid policemen need to be supplemented by local militias to begin direct and militant confrontations with organized crime and corruption wherever it might arise.

Putin has the popularity and the power to create a major security bloc against organized crime, as well as capitalist imperialism.

Russian banks need to come under state control, and be purged of all criminal elements.

Furthermore, the church, currently the second most popular institution in Russia after Putin, needs to place its powerful seal on the development of a mob-free Russia, and call on all Russians to repent and begin building a nationalist and communitarian system.

Agriculture and the village commune should receive government support to repopulate the countryside, making Russia self-sufficient in food.



And, of course, Russia’s extremely important and strategic oil and natural gas reserves need to be protected by interior ministry troops and placed under government control if need be. Putin, the nationalists and the church have tremendous popularity and influence. This capital should be spent on developing a nationalist system dedicated to purging Russia of Jewish-inspired crime, imperialism, depopulation and liberalism. He is already moving in this direction, and Russian economic growth and a low inflation and unemployment rate are its fruits.

neocon moneysucking GOP scumbag criminals repeat their old criminal m.o: ATTACK IRAN...why?

http://www.chycho.com/?q=node/1907#Iraq:




Year 2006: Iran moves from US dollars to the euro


At the end of 2006 Iran announced that they would “use the euro instead of the US dollar in the country's budget for the next Iranian year.” This announcement is at least an order of magnitude more significant than Saddam Hussein saying that Iraq would start selling oil in euros.

If the United States was willing to invade Iraq to prevent oil from being traded in any other currency than the dollar, then it would be logical to assume that they will also confront Iran regarding their plans to permanently and absolutely phase out the US dollar.



The United States now finds itself between a rock and a hard place, because they will either need to invade, bomb, or enforce sanctions against Iran along with any other country that decides to stop using US dollars in their oil exports, or they will have to watch the complete collapse of their economy and the devaluing of the Federal Reserve currency known as the US dollar.


On 17 February 2008, Iran accelerated its plans to eliminate the US dollar from its finances when the first phase of Iran's oil and petrochemical bourse in Kish Island was inaugurated, paving the way for “all major currencies of the world” to be used in future oil transactions. The implications of what this means to world financial markets can not be over emphasized. Further information regarding this unprecedented economic crisis for the United States at: “The Implications of the opening of Iran’s Oil Bourse: The Final Nail in the Coffin for the American Empire.”

Where this will lead is yet to be determined but we now know that the United States is willing to sacrifice hundreds of thousands of lives, both American and foreign, and is willing to execute the leaders of sovereign countries to prevent them from switching from US dollars to the euro.

The Implications of the opening of Iran’s Oil Bourse: The Final Nail in the Coffin for the American Empire
On Sunday 17 February 2008 the first phase of Iran's oil and petrochemical bourse on Kish Island was inaugurated, paving the way for “all major currencies of the world” to be used in future oil transactions. Two months later, on April 30, Iran announced that they had “totally removed U.S. dollars in the country's oil transactions.”

To understand the significance of these events let’s take a look back at our history, starting with World War I. The following short video (2:08) recaps the events that resulted in Britain landing troops in Iran in 1914, and consequently occupying Iraq. A more detailed and glorified recollection of this part of our history can be witnessed through one of the greatest epic movies of all time, ‘Lawrence of Arabia’.....


....Let’s now discuss the purchasing power of the US dollar.



...It is a fact that oil is the only reason the US dollar has maintained its value and acceptance as the world currency. Once countries can buy oil in non-US dollars then the complete collapse of the American Empire will occur.


All countries are aware that the US has been printing absurd amounts of their fiat currency, and they are no longer willing to hold reserves that continue to devalue. This devaluing has become accelerated since the discontinuance of the M3 report. “On March 23, 2006, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System” ceased publishing the M3 monetary aggregate. The M numbers (M1, M2, and M3) are “components of the United States money supply”, which “show the amount of dollars in circulation”.



“M1 is the most volatile, equivalent to cash on the loose. M2 is less volatile, equivalent to savings account deposits. M3 is least volatile, equivalent to Rich Folks Money which they park.” Clearly, the data indicates that “there has been substantial money growth since 2000”. If there is more money in circulation then it becomes devalued.

Not knowing how much money the Banks are printing means that there is no longer an accurate indication of how much currency is in circulation. This basically means that we are playing Monopoly with people who can take money out of the bank anytime they want, because they are the bank. This should be raising alarm bells across the United States the way it has done across the world, as the dumping of the US dollar by most countries indicates. After all, why would anyone want to hold on to a currency that has lost more than 67 percent in five-years relative to its peers? This is one of the main reasons why Iran and other OPEC countries have been so adamant on switching from the US dollar to other currencies (which is what the Oil Bourse will accomplish).

The United states now finds itself between a rock and a hard place, because they will either need to invade, bomb, or enforce sanctions against Iran along with any other OPEC country that decides to stop using US dollars, or they will have to watch the complete collapse of their economy and the devaluing of the Federal Reserve currency known as the US dollar.

Corporate conglomerates are well aware of what is happening. The following short video (10:07) is from a Senate hearing about Halliburton’s dealings with Iran. Keep in mind that if US companies are doing business in Iran then they are making their profits in non-US dollars. On the bright side, private individuals and small companies are becoming wise to this. In the last few months ‘Euros accepted’ signs have popped up in New York City which tells us that the “US dollar just ain't what it used to be”.


This escalation in hostilities between the US and Iran is reaching its climax approximately a year after news sources reported that Vice President Dick Cheney wanted to bomb Iran instead of negotiating for a peaceful resolution, while Bush approved CIA plans to destabilize Iran, hoping to achieve the same result as in the 1950s when the CIA overthrew Dr. Mohammed Mosaddeq’s democratically elected government.

In addition, in recent months a few major events have unfolded that should give rise to concern. These events include:


Nuclear Weapons going for a ride over the United States

Israel bombing Syria

US declaring Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard a terrorist group

Iran declaring the CIA and the US army as terrorist organisations, and

Major underwater Internet cables being cut, sending large portions of the Middle East into communication blackout



This unparalleled build-up of military forces by both the United States and Iran is dangerously close to a full confrontation. Unfortunately for the world, the predicted casualties for any military escalation in the Middle East are astronomical.

Are you pissed yet?

You should be, especially considering that well over one million innocent civilians have been killed in Iraq.

NOTE: The significance of CIA’s meddling in the affairs of sovereign countries can not be overemphasized. It was the ‘success’ of this Iranian coup that paved the way for US covert intervention across the globe that has brought us to the present crisis, to the brink of Nuclear World War III.

Year 2006: Discontinuance of M3


“On March 23, 2006, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System” ceased publishing the M3 monetary aggregate. The M numbers (M1, M2, and M3) are “components of the United States money supply”, which “show the amount of dollars in circulation”.


“M1 is the most volatile, equivalent to cash on the loose. M2 is less volatile, equivalent to savings account deposits. M3 is least volatile, equivalent to Rich Folks Money which they park.” One of the most important things that the M numbers are used for is to measure inflation. Clearly, the data indicates that “there has been substantial money growth since 2000.”

If there is more money in circulation then it becomes devalued. The downside of devaluing a currency is that it can cause inflation and force the government to increase interest rates. But there are positive effects.

As the Federal Reserve states, “a key effect of devaluation is that it makes the domestic currency cheaper relative to other currencies. There are two implications of a devaluation. First, devaluation makes the country's exports relatively less expensive for foreigners. Second, the devaluation makes foreign products relatively more expensive for domestic consumers, thus discouraging imports. This may help to increase the country's exports and decrease imports, and may therefore help to reduce the current account deficit.”

However, not knowing how much money the Banks are printing means that there is no longer an accurate indication of how much currency is in circulation. This basically means that we are playing Monopoly with people who can take money out of the bank anytime they want, because they are the bank. This should be raising alarm bells across the United States the way it has done across the world, as the dumping of the US dollar by most countries indicates. After all, why would anyone want to hold on to a currency that can lose more than 67 percent in five-years relative to its peers?

With the discontinuance of M3 and the apparent flooding of US dollars into the economy by creating money "Out of Thin Air", the U.S. currency has been devalued to the point where “central banks and finance ministries (of other countries) are setting up obstacles to keep the falling dollar from threatening company profits and economic growth.” The ultimate question is, how long are other countries going to be able to keep the American economy from collapsing in on itself, specially since there is "talk of worst recession since the 1930s."

Mysterious $100 'supernote' counterfeit bills appear across world


By KEVIN G. HALL
McClatchy Newspapers


The only way to distinguish some of the "supernotes," experts say, is to compare photographically blown-up sections with magnifying instruments, as these craftworkers did recently in Tokyo. About $50 million of the mystery money has been seized since 1989.

The only way to distinguish some of the "supernotes," experts say, is to compare photographically blown-up sections with magnifying instruments, as these craftworkers did recently in Tokyo. About $50 million of the mystery money has been seized since 1989.



The currency changer, brazenly plying his illegal trade in the Bank of China lobby, pulled out a thick wad of cash from around the world and carefully removed a bill.

The 2003 series U.S. $100 bill was a fake, but not just any fake. It was a “supernote,” a counterfeit so perfect it’s an international whodunit.

It had come from a North Korean businessman, the changer said, getting angry looks from his confederates. He stank of alcohol, but his story was plausible. The impoverished hermit nation sat just across the Yalu River from Dandong.

The Bush administration and members of Congress two years ago loudly accused North Korean leaders of being behind the counterfeiting of U.S. currency, but a 10-month McClatchy Newspapers investigation raises questions about those charges.

As the currency changer told a reporter, “The ones from Europe are much better.”

Whatever the origin of the bills, “it’s by far the most sophisticated counterfeiting operation in the world,” said James Kolbe, a former congressman from Arizona who oversaw funding for the Secret Service. “We are not certain as to how this is being done or how it’s happening.”

•The paper appears to be made from the same cotton and linen mix that distinguishes U.S. currency from others. It includes the watermarks visible from the other side of the bill, colored microfibers woven into the substrate of the banknote and an embedded strip, barely visible, that reads USA 100 and glows red under ultraviolet light.

•The bills include tiny microprint that appears as a line to the naked eye, but under magnification is actually lettering around the coat of Benjamin Franklin or hidden in the number 100 that reads either USA 100 or The United States of America.

•The same optically variable ink, or OVI, is used on the number 100 on the bottom right side of the bill. Exclusively made for, and sold to, the United States, this OVI ink gives the appearance of changing color when a banknote is viewed from different angles.

•At least 19 different versions have been printed, each corresponding to a tiny change in U.S. engraving plates — an odd thing for any counterfeiter to do. Also, they show practically invisible but intriguing additions.

•Stranger yet, the number of supernotes found indicates that whoever is printing them isn’t doing so in large quantities. Only $50 million worth of them have been seized since 1989, an average of $2.8 million per year and not even enough to pay for the sophisticated equipment and supplies needed to make them.

Industry experts such as Thomas Ferguson, former director of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, said the supernotes are so good that they appear to have been made by someone with access to some government’s printing equipment.

Some experts think North Korea does not have the sophistication to make the bills; others suspect Iran and others speak of criminal gangs in Russia or China.

Klaus Bender, the author of Moneymakers: The Secret World of Banknote Printing, said the phony $100 bill is “not a fake anymore. It’s an illegal parallel print of a genuine note.” He claims that the supernotes are of such high quality and are updated so frequently that they could be produced only by a U.S. government agency such as the CIA.

As unsubstantiated as the allegation is, there is a precedent. An expert on the CIA, journalist Tim Weiner, has written how the agency tried to undermine the Soviet Union’s economy by counterfeiting its currency.

Making limited quantities of sophisticated counterfeit notes also could help intelligence and law enforcement agencies follow payments or illicit activities or track the movement of funds among unsavory regimes, terrorist groups and others.

“As a matter of course, we don’t comment on such claims, regardless of how ridiculous they might be,” said CIA spokesman Mark Mansfield.

The lead U.S. agency in combating counterfeiting, the Secret Service, declined repeated requests for interviews for this story, as did the Federal Reserve Board and the Treasury Department.



The case against Korea


Two years ago, as the administration’s campaign to isolate and financially cripple North Korea’s dictatorship was heating up, President Bush insisted, “We are aggressively saying to the North Koreans … don’t counterfeit our money.”

Asked about his claim last summer, Bush told McClatchy Newspapers, “I’m not at liberty to speak about intelligence matters.”

Many of the administration’s public allegations about North Korean counterfeiting trace to South Korea-based “experts” on North Korea who arranged interviews with North Korean defectors for U.S. and foreign newspapers. The resulting news reports were quoted by members of Congress, researchers and Bush administration officials who were seeking to pressure North Korea.

The McClatchy investigation, which stretched across three continents, found that one source for several stories, a self-described chemist named Kim Dong-shik, has gone into hiding. A former roommate, Moon Kook-han, said Kim is a liar out for cash who knew so little about American currency that he didn’t know whose image is printed on the $100 bill.

The international police agency Interpol issued in March 2005 an orange alert — at America’s request — calling on member nations to prohibit the sale of banknote equipment, paper or ink to North Korea.

A joint Secret Service–Federal Reserve report to Congress in 2006 said the notes were being “produced and distributed with the full consent and control” of the North Korean government.

That July, at the request of the Bush administration, Interpol assembled central bankers, police agencies and banknote industry officials in Lyon, France, to make the U.S. case against North Korea. But the Secret Service never provided any details of the evidence it said it had, instead citing “intelligence” and asking those assembled to accept the administration’s claims on faith.

Interpol’s secretary general is an American, Ronald K. Noble, a veteran of the Secret Service from 1993 to 1996. He declined to discuss the supernotes in detail, but recalled the Secret Service made clear it was “not at liberty to share all of the information” to which it had access.

In the late 1990s, North Korean diplomats were caught passing supernotes in Asian capitals; diplomatic immunity prevents prosecution.

The hardest evidence to surface so far is the 2004 indictment of Sean Garland, a leader of an Irish Republican Army splinter group, who about the same time allegedly ferried more than $1 million in supernotes to Europe, mostly from the North Korean Embassy in Moscow. Garland is now in the Republic of Ireland, but the Irish Embassy said the U.S. hasn’t sought his extradition.

More recently, in August 2005, the Secret Service announced two separate sting operations — Royal Charm and Smoking Dragon, in which Chinese crime gangs were accused of smuggling supernotes into New Jersey and Los Angeles.

David Asher, who was coordinator of a working group at the State Department that collected details on North Korean criminal activities, said his group turned up evidence of the counterfeiting and didn’t rely on “intelligence” to make its case. Asher, now a researcher at the Heritage Foundation, a conservative Washington policy organization, declined to provide any details.

John Bolton, former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations and a hardliner on North Korea, told McClatchy that he never saw hard evidence that Pyongyang was making the supernotes. But he said the evidence that the North Koreans distributed them is sufficient proof of bad behavior.

The questions

“I never really saw the intelligence myself to make an independent judgment,” said Carl Ford, who quit as head of the State Department’s intelligence bureau in 2003 because he challenged the administration’s phony claim, based largely on defectors, that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. The administration’s reluctance to disclose details on North Korea “doesn’t pass the smell test,” he said.

In May 2007, the Swiss federal criminal police, which is on the lookout for counterfeit currency and has worked closely with U.S. financial authorities, called on Washington to present more evidence. The Bundeskriminalpolizei said it doubted that North Korea was behind the supernotes.

“Using its printing presses dating back to the 1970s, North Korea is today printing its own currency in such poor quality that one automatically wonders whether this country would even be in a position to manufacture the high-quality supernotes,’” the Swiss agency reported.

The setting for the counterfeiting charges was the effort to pressure the regime of Kim Jong-il to abandon its nuclear weapons programs.

Washington accused a tiny bank in the Chinese enclave of Macau of helping North Korea launder counterfeit notes. The U.S. Treasury blacklisted the Banco Delta Asia and issued a ruling in March 2007 that effectively shut the bank down and froze $25 million in North Korean funds.

When the U.S. relented, Macau lifted its sanctions against the bank and allowed the bank to transfer $25 million back to North Korea, although the Treasury Department, citing “intelligence,” maintains the bank’s blacklisting.

Meanwhile, the Bush administration is no longer publicly accusing North Korea of producing the supernotes and has dropped the subject from talks on halting North Korea’s nuclear weapons program, according to State Department officials.

McClatchy obtained an audit by the international accounting firm Ernst & Young on behalf of the Macau government that indicated only a single case of counterfeit notes was found at Banco Delta Asia. This was in 1994, when the bank found the notes and alerted authorities.

And those fakes did not originate in North Korea.

The details

Banks around the world are still seizing supernotes. The first one was spotted by a sharp-eyed banker in the Philippines in 1989.

Since then, about $50 million worth have been found. “The seizures are not necessarily indicative of the amount in circulation,” noted Bolton, who accuses the Bush administration of going soft on North Korea.

The oddities do not stop there. Whoever is making them seemed to deliberately add minuscule extra strokes, as if trying to flag the phony bills, the Swiss noted. For example, at the very tip of the steeple of Philadelphia’s Independence Hall, the counterfeit bills have a line along the left vertical edge that is not on the real bills.

Real reason behind IRAQ WAR: CIA asset Saddam, said fuckyou, and dropped dollar as oil currency

http://www.ratical.org/ratville/CAH/RRiraqWar.html


CLICK BLUE BLOGPOST TITLE TO read Clarke's report.


Or...in summary:



Year 2000: Iraq dumps the US dollar and switches to the euro



The following article, “The Real Reasons for the Upcoming War With Iraq”, which was written before the U.S. invasion of Iraq, lays forth an argument that the war in Iraq was not just about oil but about the currency in which oil is traded. It is mandatory reading for anyone who wants to understand the basic concepts of American foreign policy, economics, and its military operations around the world.


This article states that the principle reason why the United States invaded Iraq was because Saddam Hussein in the year 2000 went ahead with his plans to stop using the U.S. dollar in its oil business and started using the euro.

Iraq switching from the U.S. Petro-dollar to the euro meant that countries would no longer be obligated to buy oil in U.S. dollars, so they would no longer have to maintain their U.S. dollar reserves.

Since reaching a double top in the year 2000/01, the US dollar devalued relative to the euro by as much as 50% by April 2008


Even though Iraq’s dumping of the US currency is no longer an issue since the United States is now occupying Iraq, many countries continue to sell the dollar, converting their reserves to other currencies. Some of these countries are: Iran, Sweden, Cuba, U.A.E., China, Russia, India, Indonesia, North Korea, Venezuela, Brazil, Argentina, Syria, and many more.

If "Saddam'S dropping the dollar" was and is instrumental to the davaluation of the US dollar (which seems to be Clarke's implication) then...uh....AFTER IRAQI INVASION, HOW COME THE DOLLAR HAS NOT RECOVERED?

ANSWER: All the other countries mentioned, changed over to EURO when buying oil.

Thus...ONCE THE GENIE GOT OUT OF THE BOTTLE (the dollar dropped for buying oil) IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO GET THE DOLLAR BACK????

Obama Attorney General Nominee Eric Holder Helped Enable 2000 Elian Gonzalez Seizure

By Tom Blumer (Bio | Archive)

November 20, 2008 - 23:03 ET




Now that Eric Holder is in the process of trying to graduate from Barack Obama's vice-presidential search committee to President-elect Obama's apparent nominee for Attorney General, it's a good idea to remind people of Holder's role in the Elian Gonzalez case in 2000. This post largely reprises one I put up in June.



In between hosannas, someone should consider Barack Obama's "Judgment to Lead" in light of his selection of Eric Holder as his nominee for Attorney General.

Besides his already-known role as former Clinton Administration Deputy Attorney General in facilitating the Clinton pardons, including that of fugitive billionaire financier March Rich, there's the matter of Holder's involvement in the Elian Gonzalez case in 2000.

As the April 23, 2000 edition of the Media Research Center's CyberAlert noted at the time, Andrew Napolitano of Fox News charged that the early-Saturday seizure of the then 6 year-old Gonzalez from those who were taking care of him flagrantly disobeyed a ruling of the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals.

In response to a question from Fox News anchor Jeff Asman, Napolitano said the following (bolds are mine throughout this post):



The order issued by the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals four days ago .... said once the INS chooses the guardian, and the INS chose Lazaro Gonzalez (Elian's paternal great uncle -- Ed.) to be the guardian, and an application for asylum has been made by the guardian, the INS can not change the guardian and that's exactly what they did here."

Asman: "So is this executive overreach?"

Napolitano: "This is more than executive overreach. This is contempt of the circuit court of appeals order. This is a high class kidnapping is what it is, sanctioned by no law, sanctioned by no judge..."


In an interview later that morning, Napolitano left Holder speechless (also available in the fourth item at this link):



Napolitano: Tell me, Mr. Holder, why did you not get a court order authorizing you to go in and get the boy?

Holder: Because we didn't need a court order. INS can do this on its own.

Napolitano: You know that a court order would have given you the cloak of respectability to have seized the boy.

Holder: We didn't need an order.

Napolitano: Then why did you ask the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals for such an order if you didn't need one?

Holder: [Silence]

Napolitano: The fact is, for the first time in history you have taken a child from his residence at gunpoint to enforce your custody position, even though you did not have an order authorizing it.


Earlier in that interview, as noted in a different CyberAlert item on the same day, Holder showed that he wouldn't admit the truth, even when in plain sight:

Napolitano: When is the last time a boy, a child, was taken at the point of a gun without an order of a judge. Unprecedented in American history."

Holder: "He was not taken at the point of a gun."

Napolitano: "We have a photograph showing he was taken at the point of a gun."

Holder: "They were armed agents who went in there who acted very sensitively..."


Here is the Pulitzer Prize-winning photo taken by Alan Diaz of the Associated Press depicting how Elian Gonzalez was "was not taken at the point of a gun" (larger picture is at link):



Someone should ask Barack Obama if he is at all bothered by Mr. Holder's inability to even recognize when someone is being taken at gunpoint, and how, among all the possible Attorney General candidates out there, Mr. Holder was still deemed so deserving to be nominated as the nation's highest law enforcement official.

Don't expect that question any time soon from the Obama-mesmerized media.

The decision came late Wednesday in a preliminary hearing in the trial of Mohammed Jawad, arrested in Kabul in 2002 as a teenager on charges of throwing a grenade that wounded two American soldiers and their Afghan interpreter.

A representative for the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), who was present at the hearing at the tribunal at the US military base in Cuba, revealed that Jawad's confession had been rejected as evidence in the case.

"Colonel Stephen Henley held that evidence collected while Jawad was in US custody cannot be admitted in his trial" because the evidence was "gathered through coercive interrogations," the ACLU said in a press release.

Accused of having committed "war crimes," Jawad, who is now about 23 years old, is set to face trial on January 5 before a military commission at the Guantanamo prison.

"Previously, the government had told the judge that Jawad's alleged confessions were the centerpiece of its case against him," the ACLU said.

"If the government continues to prosecute this case, it will only provide further evidence that the military commissions system is a sham aimed at obtaining convictions regardless of the facts or the law," said ACLU staff attorney Hina Shamsi.

The lead prosecutor in Jawad's case, lieutenant Colonel Darrel Vandeveld, quit in September due to "ethical concerns."

General Motors to Invest $1 Billion in Brazil Operations -- Money to Come from U.S. Rescue Program


By Russ Dallen
Latin American Herald Tribune staff



General Motors plans to invest $1 billion in Brazil to avoid the kind of problems the U.S. automaker is facing in its home market, said the beleaguered car maker.

According to the president of GM Brazil-Mercosur, Jaime Ardila, the funding will come from the package of financial aid that the manufacturer will receive from the U.S. government and will be used to "complete the renovation of the line of products up to 2012."

"It wouldn't be logical to withdraw the investment from where we're growing, and our goal is to protect investments in emerging markets," he said in a statement published by the business daily Gazeta Mercantil.

Meanwhile, he cut the company's revenue forecast for this year by 14% to $9.5 billion from $11 billion, as the economic crisis began to cause rapid slowdowns in sales.

GM already announced three programs of paid leave, and Ardila added that GM Brazil "is going to wait and see how the market behaves in order to know what decision to take" with regard to possible layoffs.

For Ardila, the injection in Brazil's automobile sector of 8 billion reais ($3.51 billion) recently announced by the federal and state governments of Sao Paulo "has already begun to revive sales," which fell by 12% in October.

The executive said that the company will operate a "conservative" scenario in 2009 with an estimated production of 2.6 million units, and another more "optimistic" that contemplates sales of 2.9 million.

This year sales will reach 2.85 million vehicles, which represents a growth of 15% over last year.

Israel Hails Takeover Of US Congress As ‘Total Annihilation’ Of Palestinians Set To Begin

By: Sorcha Faal, and as reported to her Western Subscribers (Traducción al Español abajo)









Kremlin reports today are stating that UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has made an ‘urgent’ appeal to President Medvedev for the possible use of Russian Military Forces to break the Israeli blockade strangling 1.5 million Palestinian people trapped in the Gaza Strip and who are down to their last two days of food.

Switzerland has become the latest Nation to join the United Nations in calling upon Israel to end their barbaric blockade but to which Israel’s Defense Minister has bluntly rebuffed and stated, “No. There needs to be calm in order for the crossings to be opened.”

Jordan's King Abdullah II, these reports state, became so enraged at Israel’s planned ‘Total Annihilation’ of the Palestinian peoples in Gaza that he ‘ordered’ Israel’s Prime Minister Olmert and Defense Minister Barak to a secret meeting in Amman where he told them that should the blockade not be lifted his own government would fall, but not before he would order his own Jordanian Military Forces to launch attacks against Israel.
_____________



TOMMY:

Why would JORDAN fall, if the Palestinians get squeezed by a kike blockade?
________________




Israel’s dysfunctional government, however, appears to be a ship of state steering itself towards its own destruction as their President, Shimon Peres, while accepting an Honorary Knighthood from the Queen of England, has warned that his Nation is nearing Civil War with its own Jewish settlers, 20,000 of whom are heading towards a massive confrontation with Israeli security forces.

Its Prime Minister, Ehud Olmert, forced to step down due to the many corruption charges leveled against him by Israeli police, and its Foreign Minister, and soon to be Prime Minister, Tzipi Livni, ‘demanding’ that the World not look at Israel’s starving to death of 1.5 human beings but instead condemn the Palestinians for even daring to think that they could possibly fight back against their mass imprisonment and soon to be death.


Even more perplexing is that while Israel is facing the worst crisis facing its existence since its establishment by the United Nations in 1948 it is, nevertheless, celebrating the record number of Jews elected to the US Congress where they now control over 10 percent of a government in a Nation where they comprise only 3 percent of the population and where next week President Bush will meet with Prime Minister Olmert to plan their military attacks upon Iran which they say the UN has reported now has the nuclear material needed to make an atomic bomb, but to which the Iranians have replied, and much more truthfully:

“Iran has categorically rejected a report in the New York Times which accuses the country of having enough nuclear fuel to make nuclear weapon.

Iran's ambassador to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Ali Asghar Soltaniyeh, said that the report was unjustified and politically motivated, Press TV reported. "The allegations are aimed at misleading the public and have no technical basis," Soltaniyeh said.


The New York Times cited a nuclear expert as saying that the amount of low enriched uranium at Iran's disposal could help Iran to make nuclear bomb. Soltaniyeh said that Iran's nuclear sites are under surveillance of IAEA cameras 24 hours a day.

"The nuclear material at Natanz' site is held in a container sealed by IAEA experts and recorded by the same cameras," he added. The latest report released by IAEA's chief, Mohamed ElBaradei, indicated no diversion in Iran's nuclear program.

The IAEA chief Mohamed ElBaradei in his latest report on Wednesday said that the agency "has been able to continue to verify the non-diversion of declared nuclear material in Iran." The IAEA also declared that there has been 'no indication' of Iran conducting nuclear reprocessing activities.”

Now one would be hard pressed to believe that a major Middle Eastern war could be started based solely upon the lies told to the American people by their propaganda media organs. Surely, one could rightly argue, a modern and civilized Nation such as the United States could not possibly degenerate into a state where their millions of citizens would allow their government to attack another country based upon the lies of their having enough nuclear material to make a bomb.


But, that is exactly what happened before their invasion of Iraq where, and just like now, the New York Times published nothing but lies about the Iraqi ‘plan’ to acquire nuclear weapons that the American people were told by their leaders and propaganda media organs would soon fall upon their cities.


What these insane Americans keep failing to recognize is that what is happening in Israel today is what is being planned for them tomorrow, and where today it is 1.5 Palestinian men, women and children being starved to death in the largest concentration camp our World has ever known, tomorrow it will be tens of millions of them who are going to be suffering the same fate.

And just like today, where none of these American people even care about the lives of the Palestinians, so tomorrow will they not even care about their own countrymen, and like the deluded German peoples who they resemble more and more each day, will, likewise, be ‘surprised’ when the full horrors of what they have become is staring them in their own faces and profess, “we didn’t know these things”.



And to the most incredible thing of all, the vast majority of these Americans actually believe that their new President is, somehow, going to save them. It’s as if these people have never read a history book in their entire lives that shows how ‘economic collapses’ combined with ‘charismatic leaders’ have always, ALWAYS, led to the destructions of Nations and Empires….like Rome, like France, like Russia, like Germany, like Japan, like Italy, like England, and though I could go on and on and on, like the United States too!

And the reason for our World’s history being filled with the continued chaos surrounding these staged catastrophic events one may ask? The answer is as simple as reading those aforementioned history books where anyone able to do math can see that just from 1776 to 2008 the numbers of countries, nations, tribes, kingdoms, principalities, etc., have been reduced from over 18,000 to now under 200…and which just one more BIG GLOBAL WAR will reduce to 1.

I would like to be able to tell you now to prepare yourself for the New World Order some of you fear, but most don’t even believe in, but I can’t. What I can tell you though, no WARN you about, is that before this New World Order begins nearly all of you reading these words will be dead along with billions of others of your fellow human beings who, just like you, lived their lives never believing anything other than the lies told to them by those they believed in and, of course, calling the few of us who have risked everything to keep the truth alive the liars.

MURDER CONTRACT BY GOP on Sen Stevens witness? No arrest from DOJ?

http://tpmmuckraker.talkingpointsmemo.com/


Stevens Witness: I Lied About Immunity Deal

By Zachary Roth - November 21, 2008, 4:30PM

A witness who testified against Ted Stevens has said in a letter to the judge that he falsely denied on the stand that he had an immunity deal with prosecutors in exchange for his testimony.

The witness, David Anderson, a welder who worked on the Alaska senator's home, wrote in the letter that his testimony that there was no immunity agreement "is simply not true". And he wrote that prosecutors "instructed me on how to sugar coat [the immunity deal] and get it swept under the rug during the trial."

The letter was filed today by defense lawyers.

Stevens was convicted on seven counts of having lied on his Senate disclosure forms about gifts he received from an oil-services contractor. Earlier this month, he lost his bid for re-election to the Senate.


Late Update: Anderson's letter contains more eyebrow-raising allegations than we'd first noted. He writes: "There was a contract to have me murdered issued by Bill and Mark Allen."

According to a report on the blog AlaskaDispatch, Anderson is Bill Allen's nephew, and Mark Allen is Bill Allen's son. Anderson clashed with Mark Allen, and therefore Bill Allen, over a woman. To protect his family, both from Bill Allen and from unspecified future charges, Anderson testified against Stevens, he told AlaskaDispatch's Tony Hopfinger, who has written for Bloomberg News and Newsweek.

So obviously, this news is being driven by a lot of different agendas, which we don't yet know enough to evaluate. And the specific details of the Anderson-Allen dispute aren't necessarily relevant. But the key point is that if there's compelling evidence that Anderson gave false testimony, or that prosecutors encouraged him to testify falsely or in a misleading manner, Stevens' conviction could potentially be put in doubt.

________________

tommy:

That's how they do it.

Now defense can get STEVENS out on bail pending the new trial, and also have access to the prosecutors case (now that is out) and therefore "Stevens avoids jail" as the case is ping ponged until PHASE TWO OF THE POLICE STATE GOES INTO EFFECT (Cheney is not gonna relinquish power, no matter what--Berg filing on Obama, J.DOUGLAS has the OBAMA CITIZENSHIP IN FRONT OF THE SAME GOP CORRUPT FAGGOT ACT ALSO KNOWN AS THE US SUPREME COURT THAT STOLE 2000 ELECTION when they stopped the recount.
___________________



We'll keep you posted as things become clearer...


Late Late Update: DOJ has responded to Anderson's claims. AP reports:


The Justice Department responded quickly, saying the government never made any agreement of immunity for Anderson or any of his family or friends. "Mr. Anderson's statement in his November 2008 letter is not true, and the court is aware that it is not true," government lawyers said.

...

[T]he Justice Department said Anderson told two FBI agents in an August 13 meeting that he knew there was no immunity agreement and that the March affidavit was false.

The government agreed not to make him testify against family members, but "Anderson knew that there had been no agreement relative to immunity or promises of immunity by the government as to anyone," the Justice Department said.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL: saturday, at 8 pm TEXAS TECH tries to defeat OKLAHOMA at home?

This could be the game of the year.

We saw a miracle occur when TECH beat UT at home, in the last 13 seconds. UT is the best team game for game than anybody else, and...TECH IS A SLIVER LESS THAN THEM AND BASICALLY IS EQUAL. TECH beat the horns who BEAT OK BY TEN AT THE RED RIVER SHOOTOUT.

THAT WAS A GREAT GAME, but TECH--UT at Lubbock, was better for the fans since it went down to the last play when CRABTREE fought off two zealous predators, to fight his way to a touchdown, when TECH COACHES SHOULD HAVE KICKED THE FUCKING FIELD GOAL when in range?

TECH COACHES called an "out" to sidelines knowing that CRABTREE was smart enough to get out of bounds or the ball could have ended up out of bounds...which is okay, because TECH WAS JUST TRYING TO GET A LITTLE BIT CLOSER FOR THE KICK. Turned out...it became a touchdown. A GREAT UT TEAM, was shocked.


NOW...we got a real magical moment coming on Saturday night. TECH, the Horns nemesis who beat the best team in college football, have to prove it in Norman. OK is easily as good as UT on any given Saturday--that's how close TECH, TEXAS, OKLAHOMA are to each other.


IF YOU GOT NOTHING TO DO SATURDAY NIGHT...at least watch the fourth quarter of this game. You won't be disappointed. THIS IS WHY I STICK TO COLLEGE BALL. COLLEGE BALL is alot more wild and unpredictable and you will see DEFENSES fail against good offences which is what makes it a real tug of emotional war with momentum shifting like an acid tripping manic depressive off his lithium carbonate.




GO SOONERS, GOOD LUCK RED RAIDERS...may the winners win, and the losers lose.

HOW Cheney OBSTRUCTED SD US ATTY MICHELLE TAPKEN'S GRAND JURY of my South Dakota facts: EXTORTION on her son CHRIS TAPKEN

http://www.argusleader.com/article/20081121/UPDATES/81121027


Lawyer: Dan Nelson to plead not guilty to federal charges

Jeff Martin • Argus Leader • November 21, 2008


Businessman Dan Nelson will plead innocent to federal bank fraud, mail fraud and related charges in Iowa, his attorney said today.


Nelson will enter the pleas at his arraignment set for Dec. 8, according to his lawyer, F. Montgomery Brown of West Des Moines, Iowa.

Nelson and business partner Chris Tapken are named as defendants in a 28-count indictment, unsealed this week in U.S. District Court for the southern district of Iowa, which says the men defrauded dozens of banks and caused an estimated $21 million in losses.

"I am innocent and will be proven so," Nelson said in an e-mail late Thursday, adding that he's a victim of mistruths.

The government's accusations, Nelson said, "will be proven false."

Nelson and Tapken are charged with one count of conspiracy to commit bank fraud, 11 counts of bank fraud, 13 counts of wire fraud and three counts of mail fraud.

The indictment is the latest development in a series of legal troubles for Nelson that date to 2005. Those problems include a legal fight with Iowa's attorney general and the Chapter 11 bankruptcy of Dan Nelson Automotive Group.

The company had two dealerships in Sioux Falls and others in Rapid City; Des Moines; Sioux City, Iowa; and Council Bluffs, Iowa.

An estimated 13,000 consumers in Iowa and another 7,000 in South Dakota were hurt by the dealerships, says Rosana Olson, a consumer advocate in Des Moines who has worked with several of the consumers.

Anybody at SIOUX FALLS FBI AND SD US ATTORNEYS KNOWS THE TIMELINE.

AFTER Cheney--Dumsfield--Goss sent goons after me in Sioux Falls (THE FAMOUS SYD'S LIQUOUR STORE PROVOCATION as a possible ENTRAPMENT ON A HATE CRIME)...I contacted SD US ATTORNEY MICHELLE TAPKEN.

Doubt it if she got my letters.

A GRAND JURY subpoenaed people to corroborate or disprove my fact pattern memorialized in a 47 page US DOJ OIG--FBI OPR COMPLAINT...AND 6 SD STATE BAR ETHICS COMPLAINTS.


IOWA ATTY GEN announced interest in a civil investigation of DAN NELSON AUTO LOAN BUSINESS IN IOWA.

GOP STOOGE LARRY LONG AT SD AG, a notorious backwater of corruption, GOP loyalty and unconstitutional grand standing and hypocrisy...then...jumped into the bogus con manipulated by WHITE HOUSE COUNSEL HARRIET 'mossad agent' MEIRS, and JOSH BOLTEN.

NEITHER BOLTEN NOR MEIRS would answer or show up for CONGRESSIONAL GRILLING?

DEMS did not tell us...what questions they wanted to ask them?

No one has a clue what is going on.

LEAHY NOR CONYERS BOTHERED TO SUBPOENA TAPKEN OR HEFFLEFINGER on my facts?

NO INDICTMENT HANDED DOWN FROM A FED GRAND JURY WITH FBI ON THE JOB?


You can indict a ham sandwich with a fed grand jury...but you cannot INDICT CHENEY, DUMSFIELD'S DOD CIFA UNIT WHACKING OUT WITNESSES AND LAWYERS?


DICK CHENEY likes to go pheasant hunting in South DAkota.

The Governor throws a pheasant hunt....and...the Cheney secrety prevented for the first time in SOUTH DAKOTA GOVERNOR'S PHEASANT HUNTS, the disclosure of who was invited?


Was CHENEY'S BAG BOYS there to pay off LARRY LONG?.

How pathetic is MAINSTREAM MEDIA? Hilary loaned plane to Obama...that CRASHED DURING HILARY'S DEFEATED CAMPAIGN?

OBAMA CITIZENSHIP CASE GAINING NOTICE? NOT A COINCIDENCE! RETURN OF CO-PRESIDENT'S BILL & HILLARY: Conspiracy Nation

(Melchizedek Communique, MC112008) President Hillary? It's not too late!

Rumblings from the tectonic plates are being heard: "Barack Obama is not a natural born U.S. citizen!" But ask yourself this: If the Supreme Court rules Obama ineligible, then who becomes president? A name comes to mind: Hillary Clinton.

Ask yourself this: Which is worse, President Obama, or the co-president team of Hillary and Bill Clinton?

Put nothing past the devious possibilities of political machination in these United States. And above all, put nothing past the Clintons.

Remember how, around the Fourth of July, Hillary Clinton lent a plane to Barack Obama and then the plane almost crashed? The Globe, a weekly tabloid newspaper, headlined their July 28 issue, "Plot To Kill Obama: His Plane Was Sabotaged!" Rush Limbaugh at the time joked about the plane which almost crashed as being part of "Fort Marcy Airlines." (This alludes to the strange death of Vince Foster, Clinton insider, found dead in Fort Marcy Park.)...




...Yesterday, Rush Limbaugh noticed how the White House team being assembled by Obama are former Clinton people: Rahm Emanuel, Eric Holder, Tom Daschle, "and they're looking at Jamie Gorelick. This is shaping up as the third Clinton term, headed up by Barack Obama." But, eerily foresees Limbaugh, regarding Hillary Clinton State Department posturing, "Everything the Clintons do is a calculation. And, remember, nothing that happens with the Clintons is a coincidence." ("Obama Builds Team of Has-Beens", Rush Limbaugh transcript, Nov. 19, 2008)

Not a coincidence: That Barack Obama's citizenship is suddenly getting noticed on the fringe of news. Why wasn't this noticed during the fierce election competition?....

BIG SURPRISE IN DC COURTS RIGHT BEFORE AG MUKASEY COLLAPSED ON STAGE - HAS A HORNET'S NEST BEEN KICKED?

Posted By: Rayelan

Date: Friday, 21 November 2008, 1:46 p.m.



The news reports gave the distinct impression that a hornets nest had been kicked.

Just before AG Mukasey collapsed this evening, there was a big surprise in the DC courts.

The Robt Wone murder investigation hit the front burner.

Obama's attorney general designate is connected to this case... He represents the wife and family of the murdered man.

SINCE WHEN DOES THE FAMILY OF A MURDER VICTIM, hire a lawyer who is supposed to be Obama's US ATTY GENERAL? Why hire a lawyer and pay those fees...when...your family member has been killed?

A hearing was scheduled late today to decide an extradition of a suspect from Florida.

Remember, the suspects were all entrenched deep inside the DC gay-political web.

tommy:


Don't forget the PEDERAST INTERN GOP scandal that led to no charges..right?

And just after the murder, Eric Holder showed up to "represent" the wone family, possibly to keep a tight lid on the course of the investigation.

Wone had just joined radio free asia after leaving holder's firm.

The firm represents freddie mac and interfaced often with congressmen regarding their back-room deals. Wone attended Wm&Mary, a known CIA conduit.

Wone's father was chief of IT security for a large NYC investment bank. Wone & Holder's firm guarded all of Freddie Mac's financial and congressional secrets. Holder was asst-AG under Clinton.
.
Anyway, the big surprise today was that the suspect from Florida was not expected to be in court, as it was apparently a preliminary hearing that did not require the suspect to attend.

But, to everyone's surprise he did show up. Suggesting he might be acting proactively against his compatriots in the dc gay-political web. While this case appears to be governed by local DC jurisdiction, US Attys from the DOJ (headed by AG Mukasey) were present and made very noticeable comments for the MSM.

The news reports gave the distinct impression that a hornets nest had been kicked.

Within hours AG Mukasey collapsed in DC.

Very coincidental as Obama's birth comes into the supreme court crosshairs and Hill&Bill dust off their dancing shoes.

The drama unfolds.

I've been following this case for a while... I will gather all the old articles and repost them... plus a few more that I haven't had the time to post.

D.A. IN CHENEY CASE TO BE TAKEN INTO PROTECTIVE CUSTODY


Date: Friday, 21 November 2008, 2:58 p.m.


LATE BREAKING NEWS: Judge removes Guerra as prosecutor for 5 of 9 criminal cases involving Vice President Cheney and Texas State Sen. Eddie Lucio Jr.
http://www.raymondvillechroniclenews.com/news/2008/1119/Front_page/000a.html


Texas Rangers to escort Guerra to court Friday morning after having been found in Mexico



ROBERT WILCOX Editor/Reporter

After being AWOL from the job and violating sections of the Texas Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct - Willacy County District Attorney Juan Angel "Johnny Guerra" has been replaced in five (5) of the nine (9) criminal cases he convinced a grand jury to file against:

---- Vice President Dick Cheney,

----former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales,

----former U.S. Attorney Mervyn Mosbacker,

----state Sen. Eddie Lucio Jr.,

----District Judges Migdalia Lopez and Janet Leal,

----former Willacy D.A. Gustavo "Gus" Garza, and

----District Clerk Gilbert Lozano, along with

----GEO Corp., and former warden David Forrest.



Presiding District Judge J.Manuel Banales has appointed Asst. Cameron County to Alfredo Padilla to handle the cases for Mosbacker, Lopez, Leal, Garza, and Lozano due to Guerra being absent from court.

The judge found Guerra violated Section 3.08 of the rules of professional conduct, in that a victim (Guerra) can't prosecute five of the cases, where he could be called as a wtiness.

Guerra has telephoned in from Mexico and Houston to selected Texas media outlets claiming he did not know he was supposed to be in court yesterday afternoon.

The Texas Rangers will likely wait for Guerra to cross the international bridge near Reynosa or catch him driving on U.S. 77 southbound from Houston; either tonight or early tomorrow. He will then be taken into protective custody and escorted to court in Raymondville tomorrow morning.

Assuming he is not AWOL again; Guerra could continue as prosecutor for Vice President Cheney, Gonzales, Sen. Lucio, GEO Corp., and Forrest.

Attorney Michael Cowen, who is representing Sen. Lucio, got the court to agree to a trial date of Dec. 8th, as Lucio wants Guerra to personally try the case he lodged against him.
