Isn't it a joke, actually, to think that the WTC was attacked by a small group of people covetous of our way of life?

"We are losing the battle for world public opinion."
The government's announcement on Tuesday that the economy grew even faster than expected makes the current "jobless recovery" even more puzzling. To give some perspective, unemployment normally falls significantly in such economic boom times. The last time growth was this good, in 1983, unemployment fell 2.5 percentage points and another full percentage point the next year. That's what happens in a typical recovery. So why not this time? Because we have more to recover from than we've been told.
"After the horrific 9/11 tragedy, the “Wire Pullers” began shredding the Bill of Rights. The U.S. Congress then quickly passed the “USA Patriot Act” in the middle of the night, without a public hearing. Later, the draconian “Homeland Security Law” was enacted. And, on March 20, 2003, the Bush-Cheney Gang started, without any just cause, the war with Iraq."
The reality of the situation is that no one in Washington, whether in the Pentagon (top military brass, joint chiefs, etc) or in Congress, wants this Israeli proxy war against Iraq. Only those connected to the Israeli lobby want this war.
Israel is urging U.S. officials not to delay a military strike against Iraq's Saddam Hussein, an aide to Prime Minister Ariel Sharon said Friday.
Israeli intelligence officials have gathered evidence that Iraq is speeding up efforts to produce biological and chemical weapons, said Sharon aide Ranaan Gissin.
US Congress Does Israel's Bidding, Again...
The US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has acknowledged it "lacked specific information" about alleged Iraqi weapons of mass destruction when it compiled an intelligence estimate last year that served to justify the US-led invasion of Iraq.

Jack Cashill tries to pin TWA 800 in Iran...
Hardly anyone buys the "center wing tank blew up" explanation any more, and a lawsuit now in the court system will soon prove that the NTSB and CIA had no factual basis for claiming a nose-less 747 could zoom climb thousands of feet (especially since the center wing tank explosion would also have destroyed the frame holding the wings in place).
Ever since the official cover-up has collapsed, government shills have tried to find someone on which to blame the missile hundreds of eyewitnesses saw strike TWA 800. At one point, Iraq was blamed, but now that Iraq has been conquered and Iraq's oil flows into American oil company ships, the blame has to be shifted to the next target, Iran. But, a claim that Iran shot down TWA 800 has two major problems. First, Cashill has to explain how Iranians could sail into the middle of an ongoing US Navy test undetected, fire off the very sort of missile the US Navy system was designed to detect, then sail right back out without the US Navy giving any sort of chase. Second, the NTSB was caught in court rigging the tests on TWA 800 and then lying about the results. Why would the NTSB go to such lengths for Iran? - M. R.

In New York the mood is buoyant as the American economy continues to purr at a satisfying rate, but 250 miles to the south in Washington DC there is increasing private gloom among those in the know that events in Afghanistan and Iraq are going badly wrong - and growing despair about what to do about it.

Mr Bush was at the Iraqi capital's airport for 150 minutes late on Thursday to join 600 troops for an emotional Thanksgiving dinner, on a lightning trip arranged under strict secrecy.
News of the visit was not even released until Air Force One had already left Baghdad, for fear of the sort of missile fire by insurgents that forced an emergency landing by a DHL civilian cargo jet last week.
The only Iraqis he encountered were four members of the US-installed interim Governing Council.

Bush is already preparing for the 2004 presidential campaign and has been able to collect $200,000,000 for it. The most active supporters of his campaign will be Zionist forces, the Christian fundamentalist movement and the Catholic right. Together they constitute a powerful electoral force buttressed by multinationals -- especially those involved in arms manufacturing, in oil, in the pharmaceutical industry and in the media -- as well as many higher levels in the armed forces in a country undergoing rapid militarisation.

In a precendent-setting case, the IRS wielded new power to punish the political speech of those who "espouse views" the government considers "inconsistent" with government-held beliefs.

If the elections cannot be proven honest and accurate, then we cannot assume that the present government is a lawful one. Therefore we are under no obligation to pay its bills. - M. R.

SMALLPOX PROVISIONS HIDDEN IN HOMELAND SECURITY BILL...
I find this governmental obsession with Smallpox worrisome. There are, after all, hundreds of pathogens a military enemy or terrorists might use against the US population. Yet we keep seeing effort after effort after effort to have Smallpox vaccinations made mandatory at government discretion, even though the existing vaccinations have proven problematic for those who have had them. Why the focus on just Smallpox? What does the US Government know, or more to the point, what is the US Government planning? National Security Study 200 is still in effect, its recommendations still official US Government policy. - M. R.
Alan Simpson, the Labour MP for Nottingham South who worked in the voluntary sector before entering parliament, expressed concern that the British charity was under so much pressure from its US partner. He criticised Save the Children US's closeness to the White House, and said: "This is a new American imperium - you not only invade countries but also charities."
It's a rare soldier who refuses to go along with orders,and gets anywhere in a military career.They get shit-canned for questioning orders.The chain of command does an excellent job of obscurng the moral responsibility of leaders, by putting it onto lessers and weeding out those who will not obey.

Adding fuel to a debate that has simmered among scientists since the 2001 anthrax attacks, an article published today in Science magazine says that the deadly spores mailed to two U.S. senators contained sophisticated additives to make the powder float more freely in the air.
There is no question that the anthrax used was weaponized, and tests confirm that the Anthrax used in the letters came from the strain kept at Fort Detrick. The problem is that the FBI already HAS a suspect, a man caught entering the storage area where the Anthrax was kept AFTER he had lost his job over a racially motivated attack on an Egyptian co-worker. But for "some reason", Dr. Philip Zack remains immune from investigation while the FBI, urged on by Dr. Barbara Rosenberg, has made Dr. Hatfill's life a living hell. - M. R.

As early as 1968, the Central Intelligence Agency concluded that Israel possessed nuclear weapons. According to records of a 1976 classified briefing given by Carl Duckett, the CIA's deputy director for science and technology from 1967 to 1976, the agency informed President Johnson of this in early 1968. Johnson's response was to order the CIA not to inform any other members of the administration, including Defense Secretary Robert McNamara and Secretary of State Dean Rusk.
Interesting in light of the recent revelation that Johnson also ordered the investigation into the USS Liberty to conclude accident, despite the evidence that indicated Israel had intentionally tried to sink the ship with the aim of blaming Egypt for the attack. - M. R.

All Diebold succeeded in doing with this nonsense is convince the public that there is something to hide about the electronic voting systems.

Instead, Diebold acted as if the second set of books and ability to alter them were intentional features of the system that needed to be hidden from the public. - M. R.

Israel's most potent psychological weapon is the holocaust. Because of the Holocaust, the world became convinced that Jews needed their own country. The Palestinians were identified (in many minds) with the Nazis, and the Israelis were given moral sanction to drive them from their homes and subjugate them. Criticism of Israel is often equated with Nazi anti Semitism.

'Catcher in the Rye' assignment evokes shock...
My sympathies are with the teacher. Slaves are taught to be shocked at certain words, to make them easier to control by those who use such words. It's a mind-control technique, and here is how it works. Two people argue. Both sides have equal merit, and both debaters have equal intellectual capacity. But one person has been taught to react with shock and horror when they hear a bad word. So, the other person swears at the first one, who, as trained and conditioned to do, stops thinking in order to react as trained, not unlike Pavlov's dog, and is at an immediate disadvantage. The person using the shocking word wins their argument. The person trained and conditioned to react to the shocking word by being shocked loses. It is INTENDED that way. It is a control device.

“Sheriff” Richard Mack (KTKK talk show host) runs for Governor as Libertarian...
This "from each according to his ability, to each according to his need" was an early form of socialism, and it is why the Pilgrims were starving. Bradford writes that "young men that are most able and fit for labor and service" complained about being forced to "spend their time and strength to work for other men's wives and children." Also, "the strong, or man of parts, had no more in division of victuals and clothes, than he that was weak." So the young and strong refused to work and the total amount of food produced was never adequate.
To rectify this situation, in 1623 Bradford abolished socialism. He gave each household a parcel of land and told them they could keep what they produced, or trade it away as they saw fit. In other words, he replaced socialism with a free market, and that was the end of famines.

Sandia has been doing research on the role of mitochondria malfunctions identified as the most immediate cause of Parkinson’s, Huntington’s, and Alzheimer’s. Loss of brain function is caused by neurons killed by malfunctions in the mitochondria. “Malfunctioning mitochondria have also been linked to battlefield aftereffects caused by radiation or by nerve agents like sarin.” Gulf War victims frequently develop Lou Gehrig’s disease or “ALS (the neuron disease amytrophic lateral sclerosis) which is a neurodegenerative disorder that kills motor neurons causing paralysis and death in three years.” It affects both Gulf War veterans and civilians.
Have you ever been accused of something you did not do? Or even worse, have you ever been punished for something you did not do? Did your Mom ever spank you or ground you for something one of your siblings had done? Have you ever been fired from a job because you got the blame for someone else's mistake? Do you know what it feels like to be judged guilty of some crime or misdemeanor just because someone suspected you of doing something wrong? If you can answer yes to any of these questions then you have experienced injustice first hand. You have known the pain that can only be alleviated by the promise held within our Constitution that a person cannot "... be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law." Presumption of innocence is the very cornerstone of American justice; it serves as a guarantee that no person can be punished on mere supposition based on nothing more than suspicion.

The depredations and iniquities of the Fed has cost enough money to pay the National debt several times over.

Italy's Baghdad embassy has been attacked...
Crewmembers on the International Space Station reported on Wednesday hearing a brief, metallic crunching noise as if something struck the outside of the outpost, but checks turned up no damage, a newspaper reported.
Frankly, this does not sound like an impact noise. At orbital speeds, any collision is going to sound like a bullet strike. The sound desribes in thie article and on the TV reports sounds like a pressure bearing panel or ducting is starting to buckle from fatigue. The crew should be looking for bulges or creases in addition to outright holes. If anyone from NASA is reading this, I suggest tearing a piece of paper into bits and setting them adrift inside the module to check for a slow leak. - M. R.
