Former Alabama Governor Don Siegelman, one of the most popular progressive governors in Southern political history, is cleaning toilets in a Louisiana jail today, convicted on bribery charges in what may be one of the worst abuses of the federal courts by the executive branch during President Bush's tenure. Siegelman's case, among others, was taken up October 23 in a House Judiciary Committee hearing on selective prosecutions.

Siegelman was indicted by US Attorney Leura Canary, whose husband is a close friend of Karl Rove, and his seven-year sentence--the second-longest ever given to a politician convicted of bribery in this country--was doled out by Mark Fuller, a Republican judge who owes his lifetime appointment on the federal bench to the President. The bribery charges have nothing to do with personal enrichment but rather with donations Siegelman helped secure for a campaign to pass a lottery bill that would have increased funds for Alabama's ailing public schools.

Yet his case would probably never have been investigated by Congress if it weren't for the sworn statements of a lawyer and Republican Party operative from Alabama--statements, introduced into the public record at Tuesday morning's hearing, that have been the subject of much contentious debate among members of the committee.

The attorney, Dana Jill Simpson, was a longtime Republican player whose sworn affidavit alleges that Siegelman was tried and convicted as part of a conspiracy to keep him from running for political office in the future.

Simpson grew up in rural northern Alabama in a small town called Rainsville, in the foothills of the Appalachians, a place known mostly for its tasty tomatoes. In a state that once voted solidly with the Democrats, she comes from a long line of Republicans, at least on her mother's side.

Her father, an accountant and a Democrat, knew five-term Alabama Governor George Wallace well enough to get a letter from Wallace advocating her admittance to the University of Alabama law school in the early 1980s. Once admitted, however, she followed her mother's family tradition and got involved with the Moral Majority in antiabortion campaigns, supported Ronald Reagan's re-election bid in 1984 and went on to work as a volunteer for many Republicans over the years, including the Ten Commandments Judge, Roy Moore.

It was there at the university in Tuscaloosa that she came to know another ambitious Republican lawyer, Rob Riley, son of future Alabama Governor Bob Riley, who has been as loyal to Bush as any Republican governor in the nation. The two even share the habit of wearing cowboy boots with their dark suits.

Simpson ran against Rob Riley for president of the school's student government in 1987. Riley, as the fraternity machine candidate, won, but the two developed a friendship anyway and went on to try legal cases together for years.

Serving as president of the Alabama Student Government Association is a long tradition for those who want to be governor of the state, just as joining Yale's Skull and Bones has been for many Presidents, and Siegelman himself had served as its head in the late 1960s. Over the next three decades, Siegelman successfully ran for just about every public office in the state. He served as secretary of state and lieutenant governor, and after losing his first run for governor in 1990 he won in 1998 against a social conservative, Fob James--despite the fact that the state had long since turned red.

The people of Alabama split their tickets in the 1998 election, electing conservative Republican lawyer William Pryor as Attorney General. And almost from the day they each took office, Pryor began to plot a way to get rid of Siegelman--through the courts.

Siegelman, with his good looks, charm and willingness to compromise with the business crowd, was a popular governor at first, who fulfilled his campaign promise to rid the state's public schools of shoddy portable classrooms. But his biggest pledge, to pass a state lottery to fund public education, went down to defeat--largely due to the efforts of out-of-state gambling interests tied to convicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff, who used the Christian Coalition to turn out the religious vote against legalized gambling.

When Pryor's initial corruption investigation of Siegelman failed to uncover enough evidence to bring state charges--and after George W. Bush won the White House--he began to communicate with federal investigators. (In 2004 Bush granted Pryor an interim appointment to a federal judgeship on the US Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit.)

During the early Bush years, Jill Simpson was still trying cases with Rob Riley. Together, the two hatched a plan to defeat Siegelman in 2002 by running Rob's dad for governor. Then a three-term Congressman, Bob Riley tossed his hat into the race and beat Siegelman by the slimmest of margins, 3,120 votes, in the closest election in Alabama political history. (The race, according to a study out of Auburn University, may have been marred by voting irregularities; an electronic recount moved thousands of votes from Siegelman's column to Riley's, though no vote counts for other candidates changed.)

The election was so close that a week and a half later, on November 16, Simpson took part in a political dirty trick to get Siegelman to concede the election rather than fight for a recount. Riley asked her to photograph a rally of the Ku Klux Klan in Scottsboro, Alabama, where she caught images of a lawyer aligned with the Democratic Party putting up "Riley for Governor" signs. It turned out later that the lawyer was likely set up by the Riley campaign.

Last spring, as she watched the legal case against Siegelman proceed, Simpson was asked by the Rileys to conduct further "research" she considered to be unethical and illegal about a powerful member of the state legislature. For this longtime Republican ballplayer, it was the last straw. In May Simpson signed a sworn affidavit in which she asserted that she was in on a telephone conversation in which she overheard members of the Riley campaign plot to get Siegelman to concede the election.

Simpson's affidavit tells of a conference call she was on just two days after that Klan rally, whose topic was the 2002 recount battle. She has phone records that prove the phone call took place. Also on the call were Bill Canary, a senior GOP political operative and adviser to Governor-elect Riley; the governor's son, Rob Riley; and Terry Butts, a former member of the Alabama Supreme Court who worked for Riley's election in 2002 (he later ended up representing Siegelman's co-defendant.)

According to Simpson's affidavit, Canary said "not to worry about Don Siegelman" because "his girls" would "take care of him." Canary made it clear "his girls" was a reference to his wife, Leura Canary, the US Attorney who first brought the case against Siegelman in the Middle District of Alabama, and Alice Martin, the US Attorney for the Northern District of the state, whose own case against Siegelman was later thrown out by a federal judge. Both "girls" were recent Bush appointees and past members of the Federalist Society, a conservative legal fraternity.

During the conference call, Rob Riley asked if he was sure "these girls" could "take care of" Siegelman and get him out of the way of any future political race. Canary told him "not to worry" and that he had already worked it out with Karl Rove, who had spoken to the Justice Department, which, he said, was already "pursuing" an investigation of Siegelman.

Simpson testified that Butts said he could get Siegelman to concede and that "it would all be over," including future prosecutions, if Siegelman would just step aside. That same day, Siegelman withdrew his recount request.

Four months after testifying in that affidavit, Simpson went to Washington and gave a sworn deposition to the House Judiciary Committee in which she shared further details about the call, including discussion of a plan to keep Siegelman out of future elections for governor--by threatening him with legal action if he ever ran again.

At Tuesday's House Judiciary Committee hearing on three cases of selective prosecution involving the Bush Justice Department, Siegelman's conviction and Simpson's evidence were center stage.

Former US Attorney Doug Jones, now in private practice in Birmingham, testified about what he called "a disturbing trend" of selective prosecutions on the part of the Bush Justice Department. "There is no question in my mind that the Department of Justice in Washington was behind the investigation," Jones told the committee. And he said there is no question in his mind that it was "driven by politics." That trend was documented by University of Missouri communications professor Donald Shields, who spoke Tuesday about his findings, in a peer-reviewed study, that the Bush Justice Department has investigated and tried far more Democrats than Republicans. "There is no question" that politics has been involved, Shields testified Tuesday. "The numbers don't lie."

Artur Davis, a Democratic Representative from Birmingham, echoed the view of Jones and Shields. "At every turn we see partisan politics, Washington politics, Karl Rove politics," Davis said.

Siegelman, whose case is now under review by a federal appeals court in Atlanta, has charged that the federal prosecution of him was "political" since he was first indicted in Birmingham by US Attorney Alice Martin, a Bush appointee, on corruption charges. He continued to say it after that case was thrown out of court in 2004, and when he was indicted again in 2005 by Leura Canary. Her husband, Bill, a key player in that fateful 2002 conference call, is president of the Conservative Business Council of Alabama and previously worked in Washington as a special assistant for intergovernmental affairs for George H.W. Bush. It was Canary who invited Rove down to Alabama back in 1994 to help orchestrate a Republican takeover of the Alabama Supreme Court.

The next political prosecution worked. A federal grand jury indicted Siegelman and ex-HealthSouth chief Richard Scrushy in October 2005 on what prosecutors called a "widespread racketeering conspiracy" including bribery, conspiracy, obstruction of justice and mail fraud. The case centered on two $250,000 checks Scrushy wrote to a political group to pay off the debt it had incurred supporting Siegelman's campaign for a state education lottery. Prosecutors alleged that Scrushy wrote those checks in exchange for reappointment to a state hospital regulatory board on which he had served under previous governors.

After a long deliberation and indications that the jury was hopelessly hung, and after the judge issued a charge telling the jurors he had "a lifetime appointment" and could wait as long as it took for them to reach a unanimous verdict, some jurors started reading online news coverage and communicating by e-mail, pressuring others to come to a guilty verdict so they could all go home. On June 29, 2006, they found Siegelman not guilty of all twenty-five racketeering charges but found him guilty on one count of bribery and five instances of mail fraud. They found both Siegelman and Scrushy guilty of conspiracy and obstruction of justice.

But no one listened to Siegelman's claims of a political prosecution until May, when Simpson came forward.

CBS's 60 Minutes has interviewed Simpson for a show to air in the next few weeks. In that interview, she tells much of her story and documents her own close connections to the Bush White House and Karl Rove. But I was the first reporter to do an in-person, on-the-record interview with her, back in June.

"The reason I did what I did is because I believe everybody has a Sixth Amendment right to a fair trial," she said then. "I did not believe Mr. Siegelman or Mr. Scrushy got a fair trial."

Since Simpson came forward in May, she has not exactly been embraced as a truth-teller by the local press in Alabama--and she has been isolated and assaulted by the very Republicans she once helped. In September she told House Judiciary Committee staff that her law practice and her family members have suffered a backlash. "It has been very stressful," she testified, "and it's been difficult for my family." She says business at her law firm has dried up since she went public about political collusion in the prosecution of Siegelman.

Several Alabama newspapers have quoted Rob Riley disputing Simpson's version of events and attempting to discredit her. Not long after the story broke on June 1, Riley told a Birmingham News reporter that he had not seen her in years and never tried cases with her. But she has boxes of records proving they tried many cases together over the years, some of which she provided to the House Judiciary Committee. It became evident at Tuesday's hearing that Riley filed an affidavit with the House Judiciary Committee denying that the 2002 conference call ever took place, but Representative Davis said it should be discounted by the committee, since Simpson's phone records clearly corroborate the call.

Terry Butts, the State Supreme Court justice who claimed on the call that he could get Siegelman to concede, hurled insults at Simpson, saying her affidavit was written "by a drunken fiction writer." In a story October 23 on National Public Radio, Rob Riley called her charges "crazy."

Did the attacks go beyond mere words? On February 21, just after Simpson began to leak what she knew about the phone conversation with the Alabama Bar Association, one of Siegelman's lawyers and lawyers for Richard Scrushy, Simpson's family home in Rainsville burned down. A cursory investigation of the house fire by the Rainsville Fire Department and Simpson's insurance company turned up no evidence of arson.

Then on March 1, as Simpson was returning from Birmingham after a meeting with Scrushy and his legal team, a car followed her "for a long way" on state Highway 431 before swerving into her lane, twice and running her off the road. The driver turned out to be a former police officer working as a private investigator. The state trooper who investigated the accident said he saw no evidence of foul play. Police officers in Attalla and Gadsden who know the investigator say they doubted foul play in the wreck.

But the coincidental timing of the incidents scared her, nevertheless. "I made the decision in May to speak truth to power," Simpson said in an interview. "Anytime you speak truth to power, there are great risks. I've been attacked," she says, but she felt a "moral obligation" to speak up.

Meanwhile, the Canarys continue to deny any political plot, as has US Attorney Louis Franklin, who claims he was the sole person behind Siegelman's prosecution.

Yet there is ample evidence that Siegelman's case was reviewed by the Public Integrity Division of the Justice Department in Washington, which issued an order to bring the case to court no matter what the evidence showed. Former US Attorney Doug Jones, who as a lawyer in private practice represented Siegelman briefly in 2004, has said the case against Siegelman appeared weak and indications were it would not be pursued back in 2004--until a "top-down" review was ordered in Washington. He testified before the House Judiciary Committee October 23 and said that the Siegelman prosecution was "driven by politics."

"There is no question in my mind that the Department of Justice in Washington was behind the investigation," he said, adding, in response to questions from committee members, "there is no question" there were people in the Justice Department who were "out to get Siegelman."

"I'm no fan of Rove. I think he is a disgusting political animal," Jones said in an earlier interview. "I don't like the way he has interfered, and I do think his fingerprints are on a lot of the prosecutions that have gone on around the country. No question about that. Congress ought to investigate that, because it's wrong.

"Once you become Attorney General you are supposed to leave the partisan politics at the door," he continued. "It does not appear that this Justice Department has done that, whether it's with Siegelman or some of the other cases around the country."

It is unclear yet whether Simpson will be called to testify in future hearings before Congress. And House Judiciary Committee chairman John Conyers, the Michigan Democrat, has not yet indicated whether he will continue to pursue charges against Karl Rove, who resigned in August while defying Congressional subpoenas in a broad claim of White House executive privilege. But Simpson's affidavit got a bit of sunshine this week.

Simpson said she hopes people understand how hard it is to speak out against the Bush/Rove political machine and to abandon party loyalty to serve the law.

"But I've done it, now," she says. "And I will take whatever consequences that may come from it, because it was the right thing to do. I just couldn't walk away from the fact--and there's no doubt about it--it was a political persecution."

PNTV's September911Surprise.com was featured by History Channel for originating the eyewitness confession by a US Air Force pilot, who shot down United Airlines Flight 93. F16 pilot Lt. Colonel Rick Gibney confessed to Col. Donn de Grandprix, who was specifically asked by me to answer this question, on the Alex Jones radio show. This conversation made history, by recording history.

http://piratenews.org/flight93.html
http://september911surprise.com

This same webpage was featured by Asahi TV in Japan on 9/11/2004, and then plagerized by Popular Mechanics magazine in 2005, without attribution.
http://piratenews.org/piratenews-under-attack-by-cia.html

The History Channel "propumentary" was produced by Popular Mechanics magazine. Popular Mechanics is a non-technical monthly mag for children. I used to read it in Jr High School, while dodging homework at the library. I outgrew it before I was 18, since it was obviously intended to dumb-down its readers. Since I was seeking an engineering degree in college, PopMech was useless for my education. PopMech is published by Hurst Publishing, the proud inventor of Yellow Journalism fraud. UFOs and space aliens are popular features of both PopMech and History Channel.

Pop SciFi July 1999 Illegal Alien Porn

The original propagandist for PopMech's 9/11 conspiracy theory was Benjamin Chertoff, nephew of Jewish Czech-born Israeli citizen Michael Chertoff, who is George Bush Jr's CIA director of US Dept of Homeland Security For Bombing New Orleans And Bombing World Trade Center In 1993 And Wide Open Borders With SPP.gov Overthrow Of USA. Czar Chertoff's mother was a founding spy in "Israeli" Mossad terrorist bombing conspiracy against the nation of Palestine. Neither PopMech nor History Channel identified Benjamin Chertoff as Michael Chertoff's nephew.

I first watched the History Channel propumentary when it was first broadcast in August 2007. It was obviously propaganda to obstruct justice, but it did allow Truth to leak out. However, gullible sheeple could still be brainwashed, for those who can still be told what to think. For those who are capable of doing their own research, History Channel provided internet search terms: Alex Jones, Loose Change, Dr Steven Jones.

Pirate News's September911Surprise.com was the only URL provided by History Channel. However, this was a fleeting glipse of Truth, so I missed it the first few times. Today was the first time I forced myself to watch all of it, to analyze the strategy of the enemy. This was not easy to do, since it's obviously a player in the latest treasonous step in overthrowing USA. 9/11 was just the coup d'grat by a terrorist gang that calls itself the "New World Order".

However, it was encouraging that Truther's have forced the criminals to admit as much as they did, such as showing World Trade Center 7 exploding, which is one of the two lynchpins proving a conspiracy by Uncle Scam. The other lynchpin, Operation Northwoods, was still censored, edited out of interviews with Alex Jones and Loose Change.

The PopMech propumentary on History Channel censored all of the strongest proofs discovered by 9/11 Truthers:

CENSORED 1

Pentagon's declassified Operation Northwoods signed confession to the White House running terrorist hijackings and bombings in USA, just like on 9/11/2001.
http://abcnews.go.com/US/story?id=92662&page=1
http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/news/20010430/doc1.pdf

CENSORED 2

Explosive Thermite and Thermate evidence was confessed by Controlled Demolitions Inc, the govt bombers who bombed 7,000 govt buildings for the govt, including the govt contracts to "demolish" the World Trade Center "after" 9/11, just like they "demolished" the OK City federal building for President Bill Clinton-Blythe III. Dr Steven Jones was interviewed, but his research proving Thermite was 100% censored, including video of Thermite lava pouring out of WTC before they exploded, and CDI demolition experts confessing they were igniting unburned Thermite weeks and months after 9/11, which is why they were paid $3-Billion contract to "demolish" WTC, and remove unexploded ordnance.
http://PirateNews.org/911con.html

CENSORED 3

Usama bin Laden was a CIA employee, who has never been indicted for 9/11, according to FBI's Most Wanted website. USAma had nothing to do with 9/11, according to Dick Cheney at WhiteHouse.gov, and according to USAma on CNN.

CENSORED 4

No video shows and Arab hijackers boarding any hijacked airliners on 9/11, no Arabs are listed on any hijacked passenger lists on 9/11. History Channel did admit half the "suicide hijackers" are still alive, but censored the fact they were trained at US military bases, accordign to Newsweek and daily newspapers.

CENSORED 5

The Jersey Girls. We had an interesting conference call, with my insider knowledge of their law firm on the 9/11 class actions, since my family is on their Dream Team. No mention of Ellen Mariani's lawsuit accusing Bush of perping 9/11, or Stanley Hilton's RICO class action accusing Bush of perping 9/11. On 9/11/2001, I had two class actions filed against BFI, the Mafia partner in Knoxville of Knoxville's Controlled Demolitions Inc. My "slam dunk" cases were "voluntarily dismissed" two months after my lawyer got two guns put to his head, so I filed felony criminal charges, including Knoxvilel mayor Victor "Victoria" Ashe, who is George W Bush's gay lover, who now runs CIA death camps as ambassador to Poland.

I was threatened with "loss of my inheritance" if I did not censor my website and TV show. But what good is an inheritance if the nation is destroyed, and I'm dead from govt-issue bioweapons and toxins?

CENSORED 6

Killer Robot Jetplanes, as required by Operation Northwoods, and prevously exposed by History Channel - and PopMech.

MORE CENSORSHIP AND DISTORTIONS

Alex Jones' face was colorized red, and Dylan Avery's face was stretched to Frankenstein proportions. They could do nothing to slam Erin Cassity, but they did make her wear all her clothes. Pirate News was not slammed at all, other than broadcasting a screenshot of my Old School S911S website, instead of my New World Odor site at PNTV.

This PopMech hijacking of History Channel was obviously an attempt to debunk all the previous documentaries by History Channel. As posted on September 911 Surprise's original homepage, History Channel proved controlled demolitions by CDI, proved Killer Robot Jetplanes, proved the Jewish mafia has always controlled the Italian Mafia in USA, which has always perped terror bombings in USA while meployed by the US Govt, and proved JFKs were assassinated by the US Govt. Whoever at History Channel posted September911Surprise.com, they were obviously trying their best to slip the Truth wolves among the sheeple herders.

Thanks for the free advertising, History Channel. I had been wondering why I was getting steady hits on my Flight 93 page and Google Video.

History Channel previously used my website for American Autobahn, to interview Mark Rask, and send a camera crew to Germany, where they videotaped themselves driving at 212mph on a public highway, at night, in the rain, 100% legal. FKN COOL! You go History Channel!

COMMENT UPDATE BY JOHN LEE AFTER REVIEW OF VIDEOTAPE SCRIPT

Incorrect, Lester the Molester.

Flight 93 was not "shot down by a govt conspiracy, it was shot down by standard operating procedure when a nation is under attack. My job in US Air force was loading weapons on alert fighter aircraft, including air-to-air missiles. Those jets were fueled and loaded at all times, with pilots on standby within walking distance, 24/7/365.

Note that Lester Holt is employed by NBC News, which is owned by Carlyle Group, which is owned by Satanic homosexual pedophile Sir George Bush Sr Knight of the British Empire, his cousin the German Queen of England Elizabeth Sax Coberg Gotha, and the Bin Laden family (who Bush was dining with in Washington DC on 9/11/2001). Isn't that a conflict of interest, Lester? According to the RICO Act, that makes Lester Holt a co-conspirator in the 9/11 Massacres. Under US Code, the punishment for treason is death, with or without waterboarding at Gitmo.

David coburn is PopMech's "Research Editor", presumably Benjamin Chertoff's replacement. Is Coburn an Israeli citizen from Mossad too? Or just CIA? Coburn's "little white Netjet" was owned by Warren Buffet, the Jewish multi-billionaire pedophile CIA terrorist bomber of Air Cubana Airlines, who played golf with WTC CEOs are Strategic Air command HQ in pedophile Omaha Nebraska, home of the pedophile Franklin coverup.

My wife worked for Aramark Corporation, which ran Windows on the World Restaurant on the top floor of WTC. Aramark is a govt contractor nationwide, caught perping massive contract fraud, including at University of Tennessee in Knoxville. Aramark paid itself bonus fees for each employee fired, on its cost-plus blank-check no-bid contracts, which is standard procedure on all govt contracts in Knoxville, run by Skull & Bones mayor Victor Ashe. Ashe declared in city council, "You'll pay any tax increase I tell you to pay! You can afford it!" That was when the lawyer for Sea Ray Boats complained about a $500,000 tax increase for his business, yelling, "Then we'll not only move out of Knoxville and Tennesee, but we'll leave the country!" Which is exactly what Ashe made Levi Straus do.

No, I've never emailed nor called Val McClatchy, though I do quote people who have, who also proved her smoke cloud must be one mile wide, if it really came from the alleged crash site of the alleged "Flight 93". Otherwise it was "just" smoke from a military bomb dropped from an aircraft, or perhaps an air-to-air missile explosion in the dirt. Which is exactly what it looks like in comparison.

CENSORED BY HISTORY CHANNEL: 2 OF THE FLIGHT 93 HIJACKERS ARE STILL ALIVE, AND GIVING TV INTERVIEWS TO BBC NEWS.

"CNN is reporting that 9/11 hijacker Ziad Jarrah's visa was found in the remains of Flight 93 which went down in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. Ziad Jarrah's family provided evidence days after 9/11 that Jarrah wasn't even onboard Flight 93."

It's also funny that Google Earth showed satellite images of the exact "Flight 93 Crater", TAKEN BEFORE SEPTEMBER 11, 2001...

Time Machine:

The 9/11 Conspiracies: Fact or Fiction

Based in large part on a breakthrough expos� by Popular Mechanics.

Experts in engineering, intelligence and the military scrutinize 9/11 conspiracy theories.

Produced by the authoritative NBC News Productions.

The tragedy of the attacks of 9/11 is ours to share; it is ours to remember; it is ours to understand. Yet, our memory and understanding were clouded almost from the first horrible moment Flight 11 struck the north tower. No-one could believe such a brazen and simple attack could be so tragically effective. Disbelief quickly gave way to conspiracy theories and suspicions. These ideas from the fringe found a fertile breeding ground on the internet and today many of them, through the power of almost infinite repetition, have nearly gained the status of truth. THE 9/11 CONSPIRACIES: FACT OR FICTION exhaustively examines some of the most persistent of these theories: that the World Trade Center was brought down by a controlled demolition; that a missile, not a commercial airliner, hit the Pentagon; and that members of the U.S. government orchestrated the attacks in hopes of creating a war in the Middle East. Each conspiracy argument is countered by a variety of experts in the fields of engineering, intelligence and the military. The program also delves into the anatomy of such conspiracies and how they grow on the Internet. Reclaim the truth. Understand the 9/11 CONSPIRACIES: FACT OR FICTION.

Federal court asked to delay primaries.

We the People Foundation,
November 6, 2007.

On October 2nd we posted an article in which we announced that the
Clean Election Lawsuit was being expanded to all fifty states. We
said we were in the process of filing an amended complaint to name
all of the nation's chief election officials as defendants.

We also announced that we were looking for up to three volunteers
from each state to become plaintiffs and/or friends of the lawsuit.
The response was very strong. We thank each and every one of the 610
people who responded to this call for action.

Plaintiffs from every state brought the suit in the United States
District Court for the Northern District of New York and maintain
that current election practices, including the widespread use of
computerized voting machines, are unconstitutional because they are
ripe for fraud and error and effectively hide the physical vote
counting process from the public, effectively denying citizens their
legally protected Right to cast an effective vote.

The lawsuit seeks an Order from the Court prohibiting the use of all
voting machines and to force election officials to instead utilize
paper ballots and to count and total all votes by hand, always in
full view of the public.

The lawsuit, called the NCEL, National Clean Elections Lawsuit,
follows documented vote machine failures during August's Iowa Straw
Poll, persisting claims questioning the integrity of the 2004
presidential election, and the official de-certification in August of
virtually every major electronic voting system by the California
Secretary of State based upon several comprehensive academic studies
documenting the systems' significant vulnerabilities to
software "hacking" and vote fraud.

Since October 2, 2007, here is what we have accomplished:

We have divided the country into eleven Circuits, matching the
geographic boundaries of the eleven federal Circuit Courts. Eleven
citizen "Circuit Leaders" were chosen. They interviewed many of the
volunteers, coming up with a list of three or four potential
plaintiffs from each state. Fifty citizen "State Leaders" were chosen
as lead plaintiffs.

Numerous conference calls were held among the state and Circuit
leaders and, at times, with all plaintiffs. A draft of the amended
complaint was emailed to all potential plaintiffs for their review
and comment.

Eventually, the amended complaint was finalized and approved by 150
named plaintiffs. In total, 84 state officers and election officials
are named as defendants, many in their private, as well as official
capacity.

On November 1st the Amended Summons and Amended Complaint, signed by
150 plaintiffs, were filed in the United States District Court for
the Northern District of New York.

Click here to read the Amended Complaint.

On Saturday, November 3rd, 50 cartons containing the requisite number
of sets of legal documents were rushed to the state leaders for
service on all defendants. All 50 Governors, all 50 Attorneys General
and all 84 chief election officials in the 50 states are currently in
the process of being served with the National Clean Election Lawsuit.
Those in Alaska, Missouri and a few other states were served
yesterday. Many are being served today. By tomorrow evening, service
should have been completed.

Press Releases are being distributed regarding this important lawsuit
involving the election practices of every state in the Union.

Click here to view the New York press release.

Click here to view the general national press release.

We will post another update once we confirm all defendants in the
lawsuit have been served.  Reactions by those being served has been
interesting to say the least.

Finally, as noted, we intend to file a motion in a few days, asking
the Court to delay the 2008 primaries and caucuses until the
important constitutional issues raised by this lawsuit are finally
determined.

We urge everyone to consider a donation to help finance WTP's
National Clean Elections federal lawsuit.

Subject: George Bush gay lover Victor Ashe witness missing, feared dead.

piratenewsrss

Send Email

John Lee, Pirate News TV, PirateNews.org.

Leola McConnell was a candidate for governor of Nevada in 2006, and is a current candidate for US Senate. She published a book in 2007 detailing her hired affairs with George W Bush and other political homosexuals, er, "bi" sexuals. She has now gone missing.

http://lustfulutterances.com
http://bushssecretlifein84.tripod.com

In my correspondence with Leola McConnell, I warned her that a woman who sued George W Bush for rape, in a $50-million lawsuit filed in federal court in Houston, Texas, was found suicided by gunshot to the head. Margie Schoedinger has also alleged assault and sexual assault by FBI employees.

Margie Schoedinger and McConnell allegedly planned to open a publishing company together back in 1998. They planned to do a book about Bush Junior.

An alleged gay lover of Victor "Victoria" "Bulldog" Ashe was allegedly murdered inside the Andrew Johnson Hotel on Gay Street in Knoxville, Tennessee, which Ashe wanted to rename "Gay Way". The Andrew Johnson Building is located in the old red-light district, and is the location of PNYV's broadcast studio, CTV.

Ashe was allegedly arrested twice for propositioning gay sex in public restrooms, in Atlanta and Washington DC, while a state legislator, a la US Senator Larry Craig. Ashe was mayor of Knoxville, and is currently running torture death camps for CIA, as ambassador to Poland.

Ashe is a lifelong friend of the Bush crime family. Ashe was a fellow made member of Skull & Bones Brotherhood of Death at all-male Yale, as roommate for fellow cheerleader George W Bush.

Ashe was allegedly introduced as "the openly gay mayor of Knoxville, by a "Peter Jennings type", as president of the national mayor's conference in gay San Francisco. San Fran is home of Bush's Bohemian Club, a Satanic cult that performs annual ritual "mock" human sacrifice to a 50-foot-tall idol of Molech at its homosexual nudist compound at Bohemian Grove.

These allegations about Ashe were from high-level sources inside Knoxville Police Department. I discovered this allegations during routine discovery for class action lawsuits I had filed against Ashe, KPD and their mafia contractors, for theft of my two cars. The Knox County DA refused to prosecute my felony charges filed against Victor Ashe and KPD for theft of my cars, which were never returned.
http://piratenews.org/newslinks.html

I was warned of risk of murder if I reported or investigated these allegations. I previous received tape-recorded death threats from government employees of the US military, and got a bullet hole in my car after appearing on TV during the murder trial of a DEA/CIA hitman in Knoxville. A murder contract was put on the victim's family member
I appeared on TV with. I was acting as a citizen informant for FBI during that murder investigation, against the "confidentail informant" govt hitman, who was convicted of his second murder. He was relased from prison 3 years before his parole date, and now works inside the Knox County DA's office. The homicide prosecutor was fired.

Political Bodybuilding Dominatrix Has Gone Missing

November 13th, 2007

Leola McConnell, the swarthy bodybuilding dominatrix who claims to have had a bisexual affair with President George W. Bush in the 1980s, is feared dead by some acquaintances, Big Head DC has learned. Several people who regularly communicate with her have told us they have not heard from her in a few weeks, and attempts by us to reach her have been unsuccessful to date. McConnell had told friends recently that she was growing increasingly concerned that her allegations about politicos who had used her services would somehow cause her harm.

In May, Big Head DC revealed that lawyers for Deborah Jeane Palfrey, the alleged "DC Madam" considerered calling McConnell to be as an expert witness to testify on Palfrey's behalf in her case versus the government.

A Lead in the Alleged Bush Dominatrix Disappearance

November 15th, 2007

News is coming in to Big Head DC regarding the disappearance of Leola McConnell, the swarthy bodybuilding dominatrix who claims to have had a bisexual affair with President George W. Bush in the 1980s. As we told you on Tuesday, several people who regularly communicate with her have told us they have not heard from her in a few weeks, and attempts by us to reach her have been unsuccessful to date.

Now, one of her acquaintances gives us this update:

Apparently a former client turned close friend was killed and she went to retrieve some evidence he left for her and turned up missing herself. It could be related to the book.

While writing her series of books called Lustful Utterances, McConnell had told friends recently that she was growing increasingly concerned that her allegations about politicos who had used her services would somehow cause her harm.

In May, Big Head DC revealed that lawyers for Deborah Jeane Palfrey, the alleged "DC Madam" considered calling McConnell to be as an expert witness to testify on Palfrey's behalf in her case versus the government.

EXCLUSIVE: Dominatrix Claims Sen. Larry Craig Participated in Bondage Sex

BigHeadDC.com
August 31st, 2007

In part two of her "Lustful Utterances" autobiography, Leola McConnell will make shocking revelations about more politicos' apparent interests in the worlds of bondage, domination, sadism and masochism. And Sen. Larry Craig's wife will not be happy.
http://lustfulutterances.com

The Web site of the self-proclaimed "most notorious" dominatrix in the 21st Century has been updated to note that "three participants in the BDSM community to have interacted with Domina Leola McConnell are [deceased] Baron Edward Von Kloberg III � a former lobbyist to former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein [p.11], former U.S. Rep. Edward Shrock R-Virginia [p.17] and U.S. Senator Larry Craig, R-Idaho [p.29]."

McConnell is perhaps most famous for claiming she entertained a bisexual bondage and sex session with President Bush and U.S. Ambassador Victor Ashe in the 1980s.
http://bigheaddc.com/2007/05/14/dominatrix-requests-that-president-bush-reveal-his-true-sexual-orientation/

Big Head DC revealed in May that lawyers for "DC Madam" Deborah Jeane Palfrey contacted McConnell for a possible role as an expert witness to testify on Palfrey's behalf in her on-going case versus the government.
http://bigheaddc.com/2007/05/21/dc-madam-defense-turned-to-bodybuilding-dominatrix-as-expert-witness/

After that revelation, McConnell wrote that she "was contacted by a woman who says she hooked up with Vice President Dick Cheney in 1997, while she was working the streets of the nation's capital."

"I hope to post an audio file of our conversation on the incident shortly," McConnell said. "I can tell you it's quite sexually graphic and has BDSM connotations."

Adding weight to her current claims: Part two of McConnell's book was written long before Craig's gay bathroom scandal ever came to light.

The book will be released in time for Christmas.

Ann Coulter's Freaky Sexual Fantasyland

September 21st, 2007

"Why does Ann Coulter have a sick obsession with John Edwards?" we asked earlier this week.

Leola McConnell, the bodybuilding dominatrix who claims she had an encounter with President Bush in the 1980s, has an answer.

"Lil' Annie Coulter wants to fuck John Edwards, period," McConnell tells Big Head DC. "She thinks all this `he's gay' talk will get him all hot and bothered with her lil' bony behind."

She continues: "Bet ya she's burnt out a few dildos fantasizing fucking him. So adolescent. Lil' Annie's the girl that goes around school labeling all the 'so called pretty boys' in school `gay' so they'll notice her otherwise unnoticeable skanky ass (that's till their girlfriend beats her ass)."

In short, McConnell believes that Coulter is stuck in a "sexual fantasyland of her own creation."

Flashback: Gennifer Flowers Always Said Hillary's Gay

November 3rd, 2007

With all the new rumors popping up about Hillary Clinton's alleged affair with her aide Huma Abedin - and the possibility that the LA Times is holding a story about it - many tipsters have reminded us of page 42 of Gennifer Flowers's 1995 book, Passion and Betrayal. Starting on that page, Bill Clinton's ex-flame says that he very clearly told her that Hillary is a lesbian:

"There's something you need to know. I've been hearing tales around town that Hillary is having another thing with a woman." I watched his face to see his reaction, and couldn't believe it when he burst out laughing. I was stunned! I asked him what was so funny. "Honey," he said, "she's probably eaten more pussy than I have."

Bill said he had known for a long time that Hillary was attracted to women, and it didn't really bother him anymore. His first clue came from her lack of enjoyment of sex with him. She didn't like to experiment and insisted on the missionary position and nothing else. Because she wasn't enjoying herself; neither was he. Sex with her became a duty; nothing more."

Flowers, of course, has a reason to hold a grudge, but her old tales make for quite an interesting background for the current crop of rumors, no?

Mayor In Arkansas Says He's Been Leading Double Life

WFTV TV
November 21, 2007

VIDEO: http://www.wftv.com/video/14665486/index.html
EBOOK: http://www.donlarose.com

CENTERTON, Ark. -- The mayor of an Arkansas town resigned on
Wednesday, claiming he was abducted and brainwashed by Satan
worshippers nearly three decades ago.

Centerton Mayor Ken Williams said he has been living under an assumed
name for nearly 30 years. He had been mayor since 2001.

Williams told authorities he was born Don LaRose and that in the mid-
1970s, he was a preacher in Indiana. He said he was abducted and
brainwashed into forgetting all about his life as Don LaRose.

It was a double life he had never acknowledged, Williams said,
because he didn't even realize it existed until he had recently taken
a truth-serum injection.

As Williams regained his memory, he said, he realized that he had a
wife and two kids but that he had decided to leave and take on a new
identity to protect them.

"I had no choice. The choice was to watch my family killed before my
eyes or go with these people, and I chose instead to run," Williams
said.

He wouldn't explain from who he was running, saying only that he had
been brainwashed.

"I had multiple shock treatments," Williams said. "It took five years
to get my memory back."

Williams said he took his current identity in 1980 when he moved to
Centerton. His full name -- Bruce Kent Williams -- was taken from a
man who died in a car crash back in 1958, he said.

"What happened in 1980 -- whether it was right or wrong -- I did it
under the threat of my family and for my own survival," he said.

The information went public, Williams said, because he runs a Web
site about Don LaRose and his disappearance. LaRose's former family
found the Web site and started inquiring about its author. They found
the site registered to a Ken Williams and went from there.

Williams said his current wife is standing by him and the two of them
want to continue living in Centerton. He said he plans to continue
living as Ken Williams.

Also, his resignation was signed with two names, he said.

According to police, Williams is under no investigation for any
wrongdoing.

Being Don LaRose

By Eleanor Evans and Tracy Neal Staff Writers
NWA News
November 21, 2007

CENTERTON - The story of Don LaRose reads like a script for an old
made-for-television movie - Satanism, brainwashing, kidnapping and
assumed identity.

The stories of Don LaRose have little validation - but reveal a man
who was eager to share his story with others.

Related Stories
Double life: Centerton mayor is pastor who disappeared in 1980
A life in his own words
For Ken Williams - who has been mayor of Centerton since 2001 and has
been a radio personality in the county since the early 1980 s - the
story of Don LaRose has been a deep, well-kept secret.

So well-kept, it turns out, that on Tuesday night, when asked his
age, Williams said "69. "Asked if that is the age of Don LaRose or
Ken Williams, he replied," That's Ken's."

Bruce Kent Williams - yes, Kent with a "T" - was born July 26, 1938.

Don LaRose was born March 11, 1940.

The similarities between the two men are striking - from a resume
history of radio personality, ministry and parallel trips to Israel
to facial features and a comb-over hairstyle.

There's a reason for the similarities: Ken Williams is the name Don
LaRose assumed when he began a new life before coming to northwest
Arkansas in the early 1980 s.

On Monday evening, Williams denied he was LaRose. For more than 24
hours after being contacted by The Daily Record, he maintained the
denials.

That changed Tuesday night.

Indeed, he said as he sat in his Centerton home with two Daily Record
reporters and a photographer: He is LaRose. Discovery

The connection between Williams and LaRose was made when a LaRose
family member's Internet search turned up a Web site -
www.donlarose.com. Earlier this year, the Web site's domain name was
registered. The site claims to share a story "filled with excitement,
tension, murder, intimidation and much more."

LaRose's nephew, Ed Miller of Holland, Mich., told The Daily Record
that a family member conducted a "whois"search to determine the
site's ownership.

That's when they discovered the site was registered to Ken Williams
in Centerton, Ark.

Two family members called The Daily Record on Monday afternoon to
talk about their discovery.

On Monday evening - when Daily Record reporters asked him about it -
Williams denied a connection to LaRose, even though the site bears a
striking resemblance to Williams' own site,
www.kenwilliamsministries.org.

On Tuesday morning, Williams continued to deny the connections during
an interview with two Daily Record reporters. Williams even kept
asking the reporters to repeat LaRose's name. "What was his name
again ? "Williams asked.

Williams then looked at the Don LaRose Web site, stroking his beard
as he pointed out what he thought were the most interesting parts of
LaRose's story.

As the news about Williams' past came to light Tuesday night, some
people who knew him expressed surprise.

"I'm shocked," Rogers Mayor Steve Womack said after viewing an old
photo of LaRose. "I've known Ken - who I thought was Ken - for well
over 20 years. He is the last person I would consider living a double
life."

Womack said that if the claims about Williams are true, then there
are obviously going to be some serious questions about the violation
of public trust.

Womack said the greater issue is one of deception and whether any
laws were broken.

"It's so bizarre that it's madefor-TV material," Womack said. "It
won't surprise me if we have television producers all over northwest
Arkansas. It's the type of thing Hollywood drools over.

"It's absolutely incredible," Womack said. "There are no words to
describe how bizarre this is."

Kermit Womack, the owner of radio station KURM in Rogers and Steve
Womack's father, was shocked about the revelations concerning
Williams.

"This is incredible," Kermit Womack said. "Ken Williams worked for me
16, 17 or 18 years. He one of the most professional employees I ever
had, and I find this incredible. "1975 headlines

In November 1975, LaRose's story made headlines around Maine, N. Y.,
when the then 34-year-old pastor disappeared from the First Baptist
Church.

The circumstances were deemed mysterious, according to a Feb. 13,
1976, story in the magazine Christianity Today. Church members
suggested the disappearance was an abduction by Satan worshippers.

According to early news reports, LaRose claimed to have been teaching
a course on Satan when he received threatening letters from Satanists
who accused him of blasphemy.

But when LaRose was found more than three months later, his claims of
abduction and brainwashing were deemed unfounded. An extensive
investigation by detectives revealed that LaRose had caused his own
disappearance, according to the story in Christianity Today.

Church members, who rallied and prayed for his return, dropped the
search, and the church board terminated its relationship with LaRose.

The Christianity Today article led to LaRose's discovery - when
someone who'd read the article recognized him in Minneapolis. When
confronted, LaRose claimed to be Bruce Kent Williams.

He claimed to be the son of a Dr. and Mrs. Kent Williams of
Middleport, N. Y., according to an undated story in the Teapot Hollow
Journal. On Tuesday, Middleport police verified the report.

Bruce Kent Williams is the name of a 19-year-old man who died in a
car accident in Norwich, N. Y., in 1958.

The story in the Teapot Hollow Journal reported that when he was
found, LaRose explained that he had been kidnapped, forced into the
back of a van and brainwashed with an electric machine attached to
his forehead that made him forget his life as a minister and believe
he was Bruce Kent Williams.

According to the Teapot Hollow Journal, LaRose told a reporter he
only learned who he was after treatment with the truth-serum sodium
amytal.

In 1977, LaRose, his wife and family then headed to Hammond, Ind. He
became pastor of the Hessville Baptist Church in 1978 after the
former pastor died. LaRose appeared eager to share his story,
speaking publicly about his alleged kidnapping experience and his
life as Bruce Kent Williams. Missing again

On June 10, 1980, LaRose went missing again. That day, he told his
wife, Eunice, that he was going next door to the church to visit
someone, according to the missing persons report filed with the
Hammond Police Department.

When LaRose went missing, church members believed he had been
kidnapped by the same satanic cult who he claimed had kidnapped him
in 1975.

Lee Roy Floyd was a member of the Hammond Baptist Church's Deacon
Board for 45 years and knew LaRose. A reporter with the Times of
Northwest Indiana newspaper interviewed Floyd on Tuesday.

"The night before he disappeared, he was speaking to a group in the
church, and in the middle of his sermon he stopped talking and looked
at the back of the room," Floyd said. "No one else who turned around
saw anything, but LaRose later claimed he had seen one of the
Satanists through a window outside.

"And the next day he left. He was gone," Floyd said.

In fact, the pastor loaded up a backpack and headed to Wyoming,
Williams told The Daily Record on Tuesday night. He abandoned his
life, his wife and his two daughters. Seven years later, she had him
declared dead, according to Ed Miller, LaRose's nephew.

Miller said LaRose was featured on an episode of HBO Undercover in
1984 and was interviewed in a follow-up story on the television
program. But no records of LaRose's existence showed up until
February, when www.donlarose.com surfaced on the Internet.

The Web site explained that LaRose moved to Israel in 1996 - the same
year Ken Williams headed to Israel for a 10-day trip that changed his
life, according to the Ken Williams Ministries Web site.

Pat came into Williams' life, and they married in 1986.

Miller, as well as another family member in Indiana who refused to be
named as part of the story, have been searching for LaRose since his
1980 disappearance. Catching up with the past

"Oh my goodness. Oh my word," Floyd said when told of the
discovery. "Isn't it something. What puzzles me is, why hasn't he
contacted his dad and children, and now grandchildren ?"

Floyd said LaRose's former wife still lives in Hammond and remarried
seven years after the disappearance. When his ex-wife recently found
out that he could still be alive, the shock of the news "threw her
for a loop."

Floyd said LaRose has two daughters and that his disappearance has
deeply affected them.

"Boy, he knew the Word. He was good," Floyd said. "He was a good
pastor. "Painful truth

Tuesday night, after admitting his true identity, the pain of living
a second life was evident.

"I think my dad's still alive, but he's 96, if he is," Williams said
Tuesday night, surrounded by photos of his second family.

His dad lives in New York, near Binghamton. Williams said he had
searched online for his family.

"I'd love to see my daughters. I don't know what their reaction would
be.

"If they believe everything they read in the newspapers, they
probably think their dad is a pretty bad guy."

The Strange Saga of Pastor Don LaRose (AKA Mayor Williams)

The Mayor of Casterbridge meets "Satanic" Abduction and
Brainwashing...

http://satanicpanicnews.blogspot.com

Nov. 2007 69-year-old Ken Williams had been the mayor of Centerton,
Arkansas for 6 years when he announced that his name was really Don
LaRose. 30 years earlier he had been LaRose (now 67 years old), a
married preacher and father of two in Indiana, until members of a
Satanic cult kidnapped him and "brainwashed" him to forget all about
his former life. Then, in 1975, he was injected with a truth serum
and suddenly remembered what the Satanists had done to him.
Williams/LaRose says he underwent 5 years of therapy to recover the
rest of his memories.

The disappearance of Reverend Don LaRose from Maine, New York, had
made area headlines in 1975. According to a February 13/76 article in
Christianity Today, some members of his congregation at the First
Baptist Church even speculated that he had been abducted by angry
Satanists who had written a nasty letter to him. However, when
authorities located LaRose three months after his disappearance, they
determined he had vanished voluntarily. (They didn't believe his
bizarre story, that he had been hauled into the back of a van
and "brainwashed" with a portable electroshock device attached to his
forehead.) He had taken the name Bruce Kent Williams from a car-crash
victim who died in 1958, but implied the Satanists had "given" him
this identity; according to LaRose, he had simply woken up in
Minneapolis as a homeless drunk named Bruce Williams, with no memory
of his previous life as a Baptist minister. He became a baker's
assistant in a downtown cafeteria, spending his free time at a
mission. A preacher there recognized him as the missing New York
pastor and arranged for LaRose's wife and father to pick him up.

LaRose was "happily" reunited with wife, Eunice, and their two
daughters, but his former church washed its hands of him. And that
seemed to be that.

The LaRoses moved to Indiana in '77. Don became pastor of Hessville
Baptist Church in Hammond, and continued to tell his story about
Satanic abduction and brainwashing, claiming he had recovered the
memories of the events only after a dose of sodium amytal
administered by Dr. Marvin DeHaan.

Those pesky Satanists just wouldn't leave him alone, though. In June
1980 he claimed to have seen them sneaking around his church, peeping
in windows. On June 10, he told Eunice he was going to the church to
meet someone. He didn't return home; 7 years later he was declared
dead, and Eunice remarried. Despite his presumed death, family
members continued to search for Don LaRose and hoped to learn his
fate.

On the website LaRose admitted his second vanishing was deliberate,
but only because the unknown Satanists threatened to murder his
family if he didn't disappear. He bicycled away from home, bought a
bus ticket to Wyoming, and became "Ken Williams".

In the early '80s "Ken Williams" popped up in Centerton, became a
radio personality on KURM, and remarried. He was elected mayor in
2001. But earlier this year he put up a website about Pastor LaRose's
disappearance, written from the perspective of LaRose. It contained
an autobio of LaRose, a recap of the initial "abduction" ("may have
been SATANIC inspired"), and his "amazing story of survival" after
being forced to leave his family. A member of LaRose's family
discovered the site, and it was easily traced to Williams. On Monday,
November 19, the Benton County Daily Record phoned Mayor Williams to
confirm his true identity. For a day he denied being LaRose,
then "came clean" about his past to the newspaper.

LaRose has resigned as mayor of Centerton. Though he expressed
interest in seeing his daughters, his grandchildren, and his 96-year-
old father, he plans to remain in town with his current wife, and
will continue to use the name Ken Williams. He is reportedly not
under investigation.

LaRose/Williams says the people who abducted and brainwashed him were
probably not Satanists, just "Satanically inspired".

Moloch.
an ancient Phoenician and Ammonite god, to whom children were
sacrificed by burning.
-Webster's New World Dictionary

"And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Again, thou shalt say to the
children of Israel, Whosoever he be of the children of Israel, or of
the strangers that sojourn in Israel, that giveth any of his seed
unto Molech; he shall surely be put to death: the people of the land
shall stone him with stones. And I will set my face against that man,
and will cut him off from among his people; because he hath given of
his seed unto Molech, to defile my sanctuary, and to profane my holy
name. And if the people of the land do any ways hide their eyes from
the man, when he giveth of his seed unto Molech, and kill him not:
Then I will set my face against that man, and against his family, and
will cut him off, and all that go a whoring after him, to commit
whoredom with Molech, from among their people."
-Leviticus 20:1-5, Christian Bible KJV

"And Solomon did evil in the sight of the LORD, and went not fully
after the LORD, as did David his father. Then did Solomon build an
high place for Chemosh, the abomination of Moab, in the hill that is
before Jerusalem, and for Molech, the abomination of the children of
Ammon."
-1 Kings 11:6-7, Christian Bible KJV

"Because of all the evil of the children of Israel and of the
children of Judah, which they have done to provoke me to anger, they,
their kings, their princes, their priests, and their prophets, and
the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. And they have
turned unto me the back, and not the face: though I taught them,
rising up early and teaching them, yet they have not hearkened to
receive instruction. But they set their abominations in the house,
which is called by my name, to defile it. And they built the high
places of Baal, which are in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to
cause their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire unto
Molech; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my mind,
that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin."
-Jeremiah 32:32-35, Christian Bible KJV

"And thou shalt not let any of thy seed pass through the fire to
Molech, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am the
LORD. Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is
abomination.
-Leviticus 18:21-22, Christian Bible KJV

And the king sent, and they gathered unto him all the elders of Judah
and of Jerusalem. And the king commanded Hilkiah the high priest, and
the priests of the second order, and the keepers of the door, to
bring forth out of the temple of the LORD all the vessels that were
made for Baal, and for the grove, and for all the host of heaven: and
he burned them without Jerusalem in the fields of Kidron, and carried
the ashes of them unto Bethel. And he brake down the houses of the
sodomites, that were by the house of the LORD, where the women wove
hangings for the grove. And he defiled Topheth, which is in the
valley of the children of Hinnom, that no man might make his son or
his daughter to pass through the fire to Molech. And he slew all the
priests of the high places that were there upon the altars, and
burned men's bones upon them, and returned to Jerusalem. Jehoahaz was
twenty and three years old when he began to reign; and he reigned
three months in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Hamutal, the
daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah. And he did that which was evil in the
sight of the LORD. And Jehoiakim gave the silver and the gold to
Pharaoh; but he taxed the land to give the money according to the
commandment of Pharaoh: he exacted the silver and the gold of the
people of the land, of every one according to his taxation, to give
it unto Pharaohnechoh. Jehoiakim was twenty and five years old when
he began to reign; And he did that which was evil in the sight of the
LORD, according to all that his fathers had done."
-2 Kings 23:1-37

"The CIA ran secret prisons in Poland and Romania from 2003 to 2005

Dick Marty said in a report released Friday. The report, citing

that the "highest state authorities" in countries involved knew of

senator investigating the alleged role of Council of Europe states in
the CIA program. Evidence of secret flights � at least 10 flights to

From Hitler to Pinochet and beyond, history shows there are certain
steps that any would-be dictator must take to destroy constitutional
freedoms. And, argues Naomi Wolf, George Bush and his administration
seem to be taking them all

Naomi Wolf
Common Dreams
April 24, 2007

Last autumn, there was a military coup in Thailand. The leaders of
the coup took a number of steps, rather systematically, as if they
had a shopping list. In a sense, they did. Within a matter of days,
democracy had been closed down: the coup leaders declared martial
law, sent armed soldiers into residential areas, took over radio and
TV stations, issued restrictions on the press, tightened some limits
on travel, and took certain activists into custody.

They were not figuring these things out as they went along. If you
look at history, you can see that there is essentially a blueprint
for turning an open society into a dictatorship. That blueprint has
been used again and again in more and less bloody, more and less
terrifying ways. But it is always effective. It is very difficult and
arduous to create and sustain a democracy - but history shows that
closing one down is much simpler. You simply have to be willing to
take the 10 steps.

As difficult as this is to contemplate, it is clear, if you are
willing to look, that each of these 10 steps has already been
initiated today in the United States by the Bush administration.

Because Americans like me were born in freedom, we have a hard time
even considering that it is possible for us to become as unfree -
domestically - as many other nations. Because we no longer learn much
about our rights or our system of government - the task of being
aware of the constitution has been outsourced from citizens'
ownership to being the domain of professionals such as lawyers and
professors - we scarcely recognise the checks and balances that the
founders put in place, even as they are being systematically
dismantled. Because we don't learn much about European history, the
setting up of a department of "homeland" security - remember who else
was keen on the word "homeland" - didn't raise the alarm bells it
might have.

It is my argument that, beneath our very noses, George Bush and his
administration are using time-tested tactics to close down an open
society. It is time for us to be willing to think the unthinkable -
as the author and political journalist Joe Conason, has put it, that
it can happen here. And that we are further along than we realise.

Conason eloquently warned of the danger of American authoritarianism.
I am arguing that we need also to look at the lessons of European and
other kinds of fascism to understand the potential seriousness of the
events we see unfolding in the US.

1. Invoke a terrifying internal and external enemy

After we were hit on September 11 2001, we were in a state of
national shock. Less than six weeks later, on October 26 2001, the
USA Patriot Act was passed by a Congress that had little chance to
debate it; many said that they scarcely had time to read it. We were
told we were now on a "war footing"; we were in a "global war"
against a "global caliphate" intending to "wipe out civilisation".
There have been other times of crisis in which the US accepted limits
on civil liberties, such as during the civil war, when Lincoln
declared martial law, and the second world war, when thousands of
Japanese-American citizens were interned. But this situation, as
Bruce Fein of the American Freedom Agenda notes, is unprecedented:
all our other wars had an endpoint, so the pendulum was able to swing
back toward freedom; this war is defined as open-ended in time and
without national boundaries in space - the globe itself is the
battlefield. "This time," Fein says, "there will be no defined end."

Creating a terrifying threat - hydra-like, secretive, evil - is an
old trick. It can, like Hitler's invocation of a communist threat to
the nation's security, be based on actual events (one Wisconsin
academic has faced calls for his dismissal because he noted, among
other things, that the alleged communist arson, the Reichstag fire of
February 1933, was swiftly followed in Nazi Germany by passage of the
Enabling Act, which replaced constitutional law with an open-ended
state of emergency). Or the terrifying threat can be based, like the
National Socialist evocation of the "global conspiracy of world
Jewry", on myth.

It is not that global Islamist terrorism is not a severe danger; of
course it is. I am arguing rather that the language used to convey
the nature of the threat is different in a country such as Spain -
which has also suffered violent terrorist attacks - than it is in
America. Spanish citizens know that they face a grave security
threat; what we as American citizens believe is that we are
potentially threatened with the end of civilisation as we know it. Of
course, this makes us more willing to accept restrictions on our
freedoms.

2. Create a gulag

Once you have got everyone scared, the next step is to create a
prison system outside the rule of law (as Bush put it, he wanted the
American detention centre at Guant�namo Bay to be situated in
legal "outer space") - where torture takes place.

At first, the people who are sent there are seen by citizens as
outsiders: troublemakers, spies, "enemies of the people"
or "criminals". Initially, citizens tend to support the secret prison
system; it makes them feel safer and they do not identify with the
prisoners. But soon enough, civil society leaders - opposition
members, labour activists, clergy and journalists - are arrested and
sent there as well.

This process took place in fascist shifts or anti-democracy
crackdowns ranging from Italy and Germany in the 1920s and 1930s to
the Latin American coups of the 1970s and beyond. It is standard
practice for closing down an open society or crushing a pro-democracy
uprising.

With its jails in Iraq and Afghanistan, and, of course, Guant�namo in
Cuba, where detainees are abused, and kept indefinitely without trial
and without access to the due process of the law, America certainly
has its gulag now. Bush and his allies in Congress recently announced
they would issue no information about the secret CIA "black site"
prisons throughout the world, which are used to incarcerate people
who have been seized off the street.

Gulags in history tend to metastasise, becoming ever larger and more
secretive, ever more deadly and formalised. We know from first-hand
accounts, photographs, videos and government documents that people,
innocent and guilty, have been tortured in the US-run prisons we are
aware of and those we can't investigate adequately.

But Americans still assume this system and detainee abuses involve
only scary brown people with whom they don't generally identify. It
was brave of the conservative pundit William Safire to quote the anti-
Nazi pastor Martin Niem�ller, who had been seized as a political
prisoner: "First they came for the Jews." Most Americans don't
understand yet that the destruction of the rule of law at Guant�namo
set a dangerous precedent for them, too.

By the way, the establishment of military tribunals that deny
prisoners due process tends to come early on in a fascist shift.
Mussolini and Stalin set up such tribunals. On April 24 1934, the
Nazis, too, set up the People's Court, which also bypassed the
judicial system: prisoners were held indefinitely, often in
isolation, and tortured, without being charged with offences, and
were subjected to show trials. Eventually, the Special Courts became
a parallel system that put pressure on the regular courts to abandon
the rule of law in favour of Nazi ideology when making decisions.

3. Develop a thug caste

When leaders who seek what I call a "fascist shift" want to close
down an open society, they send paramilitary groups of scary young
men out to terrorise citizens. The Blackshirts roamed the Italian
countryside beating up communists; the Brownshirts staged violent
rallies throughout Germany. This paramilitary force is especially
important in a democracy: you need citizens to fear thug violence and
so you need thugs who are free from prosecution.

The years following 9/11 have proved a bonanza for America's security
contractors, with the Bush administration outsourcing areas of work
that traditionally fell to the US military. In the process, contracts
worth hundreds of millions of dollars have been issued for security
work by mercenaries at home and abroad. In Iraq, some of these
contract operatives have been accused of involvement in torturing
prisoners, harassing journalists and firing on Iraqi civilians. Under
Order 17, issued to regulate contractors in Iraq by the one-time US
administrator in Baghdad, Paul Bremer, these contractors are immune
from prosecution

Yes, but that is in Iraq, you could argue; however, after Hurricane
Katrina, the Department of Homeland Security hired and deployed
hundreds of armed private security guards in New Orleans. The
investigative journalist Jeremy Scahill interviewed one unnamed guard
who reported having fired on unarmed civilians in the city. It was a
natural disaster that underlay that episode - but the
administration's endless war on terror means ongoing scope for what
are in effect privately contracted armies to take on crisis and
emergency management at home in US cities.

Thugs in America? Groups of angry young Republican men, dressed in
identical shirts and trousers, menaced poll workers counting the
votes in Florida in 2000. If you are reading history, you can imagine
that there can be a need for "public order" on the next election day.
Say there are protests, or a threat, on the day of an election;
history would not rule out the presence of a private security firm at
a polling station "to restore public order".

4. Set up an internal surveillance system

In Mussolini's Italy, in Nazi Germany, in communist East Germany, in
communist China - in every closed society - secret police spy on
ordinary people and encourage neighbours to spy on neighbours. The
Stasi needed to keep only a minority of East Germans under
surveillance to convince a majority that they themselves were being
watched.

In 2005 and 2006, when James Risen and Eric Lichtblau wrote in the
New York Times about a secret state programme to wiretap citizens'
phones, read their emails and follow international financial
transactions, it became clear to ordinary Americans that they, too,
could be under state scrutiny.

In closed societies, this surveillance is cast as being
about "national security"; the true function is to keep citizens
docile and inhibit their activism and dissent.

5. Harass citizens' groups

The fifth thing you do is related to step four - you infiltrate and
harass citizens' groups. It can be trivial: a church in Pasadena,
whose minister preached that Jesus was in favour of peace, found
itself being investigated by the Internal Revenue Service, while
churches that got Republicans out to vote, which is equally illegal
under US tax law, have been left alone.

Other harassment is more serious: the American Civil Liberties Union
reports that thousands of ordinary American anti-war, environmental
and other groups have been infiltrated by agents: a secret Pentagon
database includes more than four dozen peaceful anti-war meetings,
rallies or marches by American citizens in its category of
1,500 "suspicious incidents". The equally secret Counterintelligence
Field Activity (Cifa) agency of the Department of Defense has been
gathering information about domestic organisations engaged in
peaceful political activities: Cifa is supposed to track "potential
terrorist threats" as it watches ordinary US citizen activists. A
little-noticed new law has redefined activism such as animal rights
protests as "terrorism". So the definition of "terrorist" slowly
expands to include the opposition.

6. Engage in arbitrary detention and release

This scares people. It is a kind of cat-and-mouse game. Nicholas D
Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn, the investigative reporters who wrote
China Wakes: the Struggle for the Soul of a Rising Power, describe
pro-democracy activists in China, such as Wei Jingsheng, being
arrested and released many times. In a closing or closed society
there is a "list" of dissidents and opposition leaders: you are
targeted in this way once you are on the list, and it is hard to get
off the list.

In 2004, America's Transportation Security Administration confirmed
that it had a list of passengers who were targeted for security
searches or worse if they tried to fly. People who have found
themselves on the list? Two middle-aged women peace activists in San
Francisco; liberal Senator Edward Kennedy; a member of Venezuela's
government - after Venezuela's president had criticised Bush; and
thousands of ordinary US citizens.

Professor Walter F Murphy is emeritus of Princeton University; he is
one of the foremost constitutional scholars in the nation and author
of the classic Constitutional Democracy. Murphy is also a decorated
former marine, and he is not even especially politically liberal. But
on March 1 this year, he was denied a boarding pass at
Newark, "because I was on the Terrorist Watch list".

"Have you been in any peace marches? We ban a lot of people from
flying because of that," asked the airline employee.

"I explained," said Murphy, "that I had not so marched but had, in
September 2006, given a lecture at Princeton, televised and put on
the web, highly critical of George Bush for his many violations of
the constitution."

"That'll do it," the man said.

Anti-war marcher? Potential terrorist. Support the constitution?
Potential terrorist. History shows that the categories of "enemy of
the people" tend to expand ever deeper into civil life.

James Yee, a US citizen, was the Muslim chaplain at Guant�namo who
was accused of mishandling classified documents. He was harassed by
the US military before the charges against him were dropped. Yee has
been detained and released several times. He is still of interest.

Brandon Mayfield, a US citizen and lawyer in Oregon, was mistakenly
identified as a possible terrorist. His house was secretly broken
into and his computer seized. Though he is innocent of the accusation
against him, he is still on the list.

It is a standard practice of fascist societies that once you are on
the list, you can't get off.

7. Target key individuals

Threaten civil servants, artists and academics with job loss if they
don't toe the line. Mussolini went after the rectors of state
universities who did not conform to the fascist line; so did Joseph
Goebbels, who purged academics who were not pro-Nazi; so did Chile's
Augusto Pinochet; so does the Chinese communist Politburo in
punishing pro-democracy students and professors.

Academe is a tinderbox of activism, so those seeking a fascist shift
punish academics and students with professional loss if they do
not "coordinate", in Goebbels' term, ideologically. Since civil
servants are the sector of society most vulnerable to being fired by
a given regime, they are also a group that fascists
typically "coordinate" early on: the Reich Law for the Re-
establishment of a Professional Civil Service was passed on April 7
1933.

Bush supporters in state legislatures in several states put pressure
on regents at state universities to penalise or fire academics who
have been critical of the administration. As for civil servants, the
Bush administration has derailed the career of one military lawyer
who spoke up for fair trials for detainees, while an administration
official publicly intimidated the law firms that represent detainees
pro bono by threatening to call for their major corporate clients to
boycott them.

Elsewhere, a CIA contract worker who said in a closed blog
that "waterboarding is torture" was stripped of the security
clearance she needed in order to do her job.

Most recently, the administration purged eight US attorneys for what
looks like insufficient political loyalty. When Goebbels purged the
civil service in April 1933, attorneys were "coordinated" too, a step
that eased the way of the increasingly brutal laws to follow.

8. Control the press

Italy in the 1920s, Germany in the 30s, East Germany in the 50s,
Czechoslovakia in the 60s, the Latin American dictatorships in the
70s, China in the 80s and 90s - all dictatorships and would-be
dictators target newspapers and journalists. They threaten and harass
them in more open societies that they are seeking to close, and they
arrest them and worse in societies that have been closed already.

The Committee to Protect Journalists says arrests of US journalists
are at an all-time high: Josh Wolf (no relation), a blogger in San
Francisco, has been put in jail for a year for refusing to turn over
video of an anti-war demonstration; Homeland Security brought a
criminal complaint against reporter Greg Palast, claiming he
threatened "critical infrastructure" when he and a TV producer were
filming victims of Hurricane Katrina in Louisiana. Palast had written
a bestseller critical of the Bush administration.

Other reporters and writers have been punished in other ways. Joseph
C Wilson accused Bush, in a New York Times op-ed, of leading the
country to war on the basis of a false charge that Saddam Hussein had
acquired yellowcake uranium in Niger. His wife, Valerie Plame, was
outed as a CIA spy - a form of retaliation that ended her career.

Prosecution and job loss are nothing, though, compared with how the
US is treating journalists seeking to cover the conflict in Iraq in
an unbiased way. The Committee to Protect Journalists has documented
multiple accounts of the US military in Iraq firing upon or
threatening to fire upon unembedded (meaning independent) reporters
and camera operators from organisations ranging from al-Jazeera to
the BBC. While westerners may question the accounts by al-Jazeera,
they should pay attention to the accounts of reporters such as the
BBC's Kate Adie. In some cases reporters have been wounded or killed,
including ITN's Terry Lloyd in 2003. Both CBS and the Associated
Press in Iraq had staff members seized by the US military and taken
to violent prisons; the news organisations were unable to see the
evidence against their staffers.

Over time in closing societies, real news is supplanted by fake news
and false documents. Pinochet showed Chilean citizens falsified
documents to back up his claim that terrorists had been about to
attack the nation. The yellowcake charge, too, was based on forged
papers.

You won't have a shutdown of news in modern America - it is not
possible. But you can have, as Frank Rich and Sidney Blumenthal have
pointed out, a steady stream of lies polluting the news well. What
you already have is a White House directing a stream of false
information that is so relentless that it is increasingly hard to
sort out truth from untruth. In a fascist system, it's not the lies
that count but the muddying. When citizens can't tell real news from
fake, they give up their demands for accountability bit by bit.

9. Dissent equals treason

Cast dissent as "treason" and criticism as "espionage'. Every closing
society does this, just as it elaborates laws that increasingly
criminalise certain kinds of speech and expand the definition
of "spy" and "traitor". When Bill Keller, the publisher of the New
York Times, ran the Lichtblau/Risen stories, Bush called the Times'
leaking of classified information "disgraceful", while Republicans in
Congress called for Keller to be charged with treason, and rightwing
commentators and news outlets kept up the "treason" drumbeat. Some
commentators, as Conason noted, reminded readers smugly that one
penalty for violating the Espionage Act is execution.

Conason is right to note how serious a threat that attack
represented. It is also important to recall that the 1938 Moscow show
trial accused the editor of Izvestia, Nikolai Bukharin, of treason;
Bukharin was, in fact, executed. And it is important to remind
Americans that when the 1917 Espionage Act was last widely invoked,
during the infamous 1919 Palmer Raids, leftist activists were
arrested without warrants in sweeping roundups, kept in jail for up
to five months, and "beaten, starved, suffocated, tortured and
threatened with death", according to the historian Myra MacPherson.
After that, dissent was muted in America for a decade.

In Stalin's Soviet Union, dissidents were "enemies of the people".
National Socialists called those who supported Weimar
democracy "November traitors".

And here is where the circle closes: most Americans do not realise
that since September of last year - when Congress wrongly, foolishly,
passed the Military Commissions Act of 2006 - the president has the
power to call any US citizen an "enemy combatant". He has the power
to define what "enemy combatant" means. The president can also
delegate to anyone he chooses in the executive branch the right to
define "enemy combatant" any way he or she wants and then seize
Americans accordingly.

Even if you or I are American citizens, even if we turn out to be
completely innocent of what he has accused us of doing, he has the
power to have us seized as we are changing planes at Newark tomorrow,
or have us taken with a knock on the door; ship you or me to a navy
brig; and keep you or me in isolation, possibly for months, while
awaiting trial. (Prolonged isolation, as psychiatrists know, triggers
psychosis in otherwise mentally healthy prisoners. That is why
Stalin's gulag had an isolation cell, like Guant�namo's, in every
satellite prison. Camp 6, the newest, most brutal facility at
Guant�namo, is all isolation cells.)

We US citizens will get a trial eventually - for now. But legal
rights activists at the Center for Constitutional Rights say that the
Bush administration is trying increasingly aggressively to find ways
to get around giving even US citizens fair trials. "Enemy combatant"
is a status offence - it is not even something you have to have
done. "We have absolutely moved over into a preventive detention
model - you look like you could do something bad, you might do
something bad, so we're going to hold you," says a spokeswoman of the
CCR.

Most Americans surely do not get this yet. No wonder: it is hard to
believe, even though it is true. In every closing society, at a
certain point there are some high-profile arrests - usually of
opposition leaders, clergy and journalists. Then everything goes
quiet. After those arrests, there are still newspapers, courts, TV
and radio, and the facades of a civil society. There just isn't real
dissent. There just isn't freedom. If you look at history, just
before those arrests is where we are now.

10. Suspend the rule of law

The John Warner Defense Authorization Act of 2007 gave the president
new powers over the national guard. This means that in a national
emergency - which the president now has enhanced powers to declare -
he can send Michigan's militia to enforce a state of emergency that
he has declared in Oregon, over the objections of the state's
governor and its citizens.

Even as Americans were focused on Britney Spears's meltdown and the
question of who fathered Anna Nicole's baby, the New York Times
editorialised about this shift: "A disturbing recent phenomenon in
Washington is that laws that strike to the heart of American
democracy have been passed in the dead of night ... Beyond actual
insurrection, the president may now use military troops as a domestic
police force in response to a natural disaster, a disease outbreak,
terrorist attack or any 'other condition'."

Critics see this as a clear violation of the Posse Comitatus Act -
which was meant to restrain the federal government from using the
military for domestic law enforcement. The Democratic senator Patrick
Leahy says the bill encourages a president to declare federal martial
law. It also violates the very reason the founders set up our system
of government as they did: having seen citizens bullied by a
monarch's soldiers, the founders were terrified of exactly this kind
of concentration of militias' power over American people in the hands
of an oppressive executive or faction.

Of course, the United States is not vulnerable to the violent, total
closing-down of the system that followed Mussolini's march on Rome or
Hitler's roundup of political prisoners. Our democratic habits are
too resilient, and our military and judiciary too independent, for
any kind of scenario like that.

Rather, as other critics are noting, our experiment in democracy
could be closed down by a process of erosion.

It is a mistake to think that early in a fascist shift you see the
profile of barbed wire against the sky. In the early days, things
look normal on the surface; peasants were celebrating harvest
festivals in Calabria in 1922; people were shopping and going to the
movies in Berlin in 1931. Early on, as WH Auden put it, the horror is
always elsewhere - while someone is being tortured, children are
skating, ships are sailing: "dogs go on with their doggy life ... How
everything turns away/ Quite leisurely from the disaster."

As Americans turn away quite leisurely, keeping tuned to internet
shopping and American Idol, the foundations of democracy are being
fatally corroded. Something has changed profoundly that weakens us
unprecedentedly: our democratic traditions, independent judiciary and
free press do their work today in a context in which we are "at war"
in a "long war" - a war without end, on a battlefield described as
the globe, in a context that gives the president - without US
citizens realising it yet - the power over US citizens of freedom or
long solitary incarceration, on his say-so alone.

That means a hollowness has been expanding under the foundation of
all these still- free-looking institutions - and this foundation can
give way under certain kinds of pressure. To prevent such an outcome,
we have to think about the "what ifs".

What if, in a year and a half, there is another attack - say, God
forbid, a dirty bomb? The executive can declare a state of emergency.
History shows that any leader, of any party, will be tempted to
maintain emergency powers after the crisis has passed. With the
gutting of traditional checks and balances, we are no less endangered
by a President Hillary than by a President Giuliani - because any
executive will be tempted to enforce his or her will through edict
rather than the arduous, uncertain process of democratic negotiation
and compromise.

What if the publisher of a major US newspaper were charged with
treason or espionage, as a rightwing effort seemed to threaten Keller
with last year? What if he or she got 10 years in jail? What would
the newspapers look like the next day? Judging from history, they
would not cease publishing; but they would suddenly be very polite.

Right now, only a handful of patriots are trying to hold back the
tide of tyranny for the rest of us - staff at the Center for
Constitutional Rights, who faced death threats for representing the
detainees yet persisted all the way to the Supreme Court; activists
at the American Civil Liberties Union; and prominent conservatives
trying to roll back the corrosive new laws, under the banner of a new
group called the American Freedom Agenda. This small, disparate
collection of people needs everybody's help, including that of
Europeans and others internationally who are willing to put pressure
on the administration because they can see what a US unrestrained by
real democracy at home can mean for the rest of the world.

We need to look at history and face the "what ifs". For if we keep
going down this road, the "end of America" could come for each of us
in a different way, at a different moment; each of us might have a
different moment when we feel forced to look back and think: that is
how it was before - and this is the way it is now.

"The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and
judiciary, in the same hands ... is the definition of tyranny," wrote
James Madison. We still have the choice to stop going down this road;
we can stand our ground and fight for our nation, and take up the
banner the founders asked us to carry.

� Naomi Wolf's The End of America: A Letter of Warning to a Young
Patriot will be published by Chelsea Green in September.

Hustler Editor: More Sources Confirm Lott Story

by BHDC Staff,
BigHeadDC.com,
December 1st, 2007

Filed under: Sex, Scandals, Gay, Larry Flynt, Trent Lott, Benjamin Nicholas

See also: Trent Lott resigned as speaker of the Senate, and was replaced by convicted corproate felon Dr Canni Bill Frist MD (Mad Doctor), the heart transplant butcher who loves killing people to harvest their still-beating hearts. Frist's family business Hospital Corporation of America (HCA) had just been criminally convicted of stealing billions of taxdollars in Medicare and Medicaid, and its executives sent to prison. HCA paid an $840-MILLION penalty to the government. As reward for this nearly billion-dollar bribe, er, forfeiture, Frist was promoted to US Senate, and promoted to speaker of the senate in his freshman term, as reward for being such a good criminal, in the District of Criminals.

The Dallas Voice's David Webb has published an interesting article involving our Trent Lott / Benjamin Nicholas story. Pay attention, folks:

Finally, in my feverish pursuit of the story, I called Bruce David, the editorial director of Hustler, to see if [Larry] Flynt had the goods on Lott, and whether we could expect an expose on Lott any time soon.

David confirmed that Hustler had received information about Lott from sources other than Nicholas, but he declined to reveal any of it.

"If I tell you anything about it, I run the risk I'm going to have to pay one of our sources for information we might not even publish," David said.

David said there might not be any point in publishing a story about Lott because he has resigned.

"Our whole reason for doing this is to get them out of power," David said. "Here, Trent Lott has essentially removed himself from the equation. We're going to have to decide � do we want to spend more money on the investigation for something that is, from our point of view, a dead issue. He's leaving office."

David said that Hustler has "lots of information on lots of different people," but it only publishes that material when a person is a hypocrite � a person who says one thing in public and does another in private.

Under that rule, I would say our anti-gay foe Lott certainly fits the criteria for outing if Hustler has the type of information I think it does.

So if you're reading, Larry, I say go ahead and write that check. If you've got the scoop, Benjamin [Nicholas], give Larry a call. You're not getting any younger, and the last time I checked, there weren't any pension plans available for party boys.

Trent Lott Fallout: The Gay Escort Who Knew Too Much

BigHeadDC.com
November 26th, 2007

UPDATE, 5:30: "Here's my public comment, on-the-record: Sen. Lott and I have no current affiliation with one another. I'm sure he would appreciate no further scrutiny," Benjamin Nicholas tells Big Head DC.

ORIGINAL:

Must credit Big Head DC:

Once upon a time, there was a twentysomething boy-next-door type with reddish blond hair and a brilliantly white smile. Not one to shy away from attention, he wrote a blog called "Fifteen Minutes," and also became a freelance writer for various publications, including The Stranger in Seattle. He'd often focus on his non-traditional lifestyle as a gay male escort � a topic that often fascinated his readers, which, in turn, helped him to garner a substantial amount of powerful business acquaintances through the years.

Based in San Antonio, he would travel all over the world to meet his clients, which included high profile celebrities, businessmen and even politicians in the United States Congress.

Sometimes within his writings he'd give advice on how other males could become successful escorts. Other times he'd post videos of himself flexing on YouTube. Once, he even scolded gay escort Mike Jones for outing Rev. Ted Haggard as one of his gay escort business participants.

"You were paid for sex, Mike," he wrote in 2006. "The most important rule you can follow when taking people's money in exchange for sex is that�no matter what�their lives stay their own and whatever passes between the two of you remains private. Period."

Many of his clients greatly appreciate his professionalism. In fact, according to one 66-year-old patron who reviewed him on a gay escort site, he is "a very reliable escort who keeps you informed."

The boy happens to be real, and his "stage name" is Benjamin Nicholas. One of the politicos Big Head DC has learned he's alleged to have been involved with is the married Sen. Trent Lott, 66, who unexpectedly announced his retirement on Monday. Lott is well-known to have been against a plethora of gay rights issues throughout his terms in Congress. He was also good friends with Sen. Larry Craig throughout his time in Congress.

Nicholas told Big Head DC today via e-mail that he didn't want to go on the record to talk about his dealings with Lott, because, said Nicholas, "Trent is going through his fair share of scrutiny right now and I don't want to add to it." However, e-mail and other records confirm that the two have met on at least two occasions.

"All I can say at this point is no comment," Nicholas told us. "It's the professional thing for me to do."

In a subsequent e-mail message, Nicholas confirmed that another publication is working on a story about a "possible relationship" between Lott and himself, but Nicholas also "politely declined" an interview for that story.

"As I said before, Lott has quite a bit on his plate right now and I don't really want to add fuel to the embers," Nicholas told Big Head DC.

================================================

The E-mails Benjamin Nicholas Says He Didn't Send

BigHeadDC.com
November 27th, 2007

Big Head DC has watched with surprise as Benjamin Nicholas, the male escort who sent several e-mail messages to Big Head DC yesterday alluding to some sort of a relationship with Sen. Trent Lott, only to soon claim to publications including the Huffington Post that his quotes in our item had been "fabricated."

Nicholas also put up a post on his own blog at about 5:30 p.m. ET yesterday that said we had made up the piece. He quickly removed that item, for whatever reason, but later in the evening added the following post, with an altered time stamp, under the banner, "Gossip":

It looks like a Washington DC-based blog called BigHeadDC is making claim that there was (or, is) a working relationship between myself and Senator Trent Lott. There are falsely pieced-together quotes that serve no purpose other than to sensationalize a completely fabricated scoop.

I will continue to offer a great sense of confidentiality to the people I see. I have not, nor have I ever seen or had contact with Senator Trent Lott. It's as simple as that. It never happened

That Nicholas refers to his professionalism in this post is exceptionally telling. He has many high-profile clients, and many of them may be fearful of being outed as well, having learned the Lott news, which was widely disseminated after Big Head DC's initial post yesterday.

Still, Nicholas has not been professional in the way he has handled the subsequent coverage of what he told us. Which is why we have decided to share his unaltered correspondence with us at the conclusion of this post.

The decision to release these e-mails did not come easy. As we originally told the Huffington Post's Max Follmer when he requested comment for his piece, we were hesitant to provide Nicholas' e-mails to another outlet: "It could make future Big Head DC sources hesitant to share information via e-mail, some of which contains off-the-record information in this case, if they know we are later going to share such information with other outlets," we told him via e-mail. "Again, we stand by the quotes and our item 100 percent."

Follmer then partially used that information to attempt to discredit Big Head DC, accusing us of "sloppy sleuthing." His main argument on that point centers on a piece written by John Cook of Radar magazine who insists that our recent revelation about Sam Donaldson's number appearing in the records of the alleged "DC Madam" Deborah Jeane Palfrey is somehow untrue. As with the Nicholas story, we stand by that story 100 percent. Radar may have desperately wanted us to publish the story with their outlet, but Big Head DC was under no obligation to do so.

We also find it curious that Follmer so readily believed Nicholas' later assertion that the Lott story was fabricated, since Follmer told us via e-mail that his contacts in Los Angeles "in the escort biz say he [Nicholas] has a history of lying."

Now, without further ado, the e-mails:

END OF E-MAILS

It is of course Nicholas' way of framing his answers in these e-mails, i.e. "no current affiliation with Lott," referring to the senator as Trent, etc. that has helped lead many today to question why Nicholas has decided to backtrack. Perhaps he had promised an exclusive to another publication, and accidentally dropped the ball? Perhaps some of his current clients became frightened, so he decided to try to make the story go away? Or perhaps he has felt some other sorts of pressure. We do not know at this point. But, rest assured, we are working to find out.

Huma Abedin is Hillary Clinton's MI6 mindcontrolled sexslave

London Times Picks Up Hillary Lesbian Rumor

November 26th, 2007

by BHDC Staff

The London Times, which is owned by Rupert Murdoch, is now covering tawdry allegations that Hillary Clinton may be a lesbian. An article published over the weekend shines new light on a rumored Clinton affair with her Muslim aide Huma Abedin.

Matt Drudge picked up the story over the weekend via a banner headline. It was Drudge who first thrust the Bill Clinton / Monica Lewinsky scandal into the mainstream.

While Hillary publicly denied being a lesbian during an interview in September, she was not asked about being bisexual, nor about her relationship with Abedin. Her support among gay leaders is said to be at an all-time high.

=============================================

Hillary's Mystery Woman: Who Is Huma? - Hillary Clinton's mysterious, glamorous and eerily unflappable aide de camp, Huma Abedin. The job of "body person"�industry-speak for the catchall role of an omnipresent traveling assistant�is a notoriously grueling one, requiring unfaltering level-headedness and a zeal for multitasking. In the last 10 days, she has accompanied Mrs. Clinton to more than 20 events, involving nine plane flights and several trains. According to various accounts from Huma acquaintances interviewed for this story: She's Lebanese, she's Jordanian, she's Iranian, she's 26, she's 36, she has two children, she lives with the Clintons. "No one knows anything about her," said one political aide. "She's like Hillary's secret weapon." Her Presidential campaign title is "traveling chief of staff." Her family relocated to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, where she lived until returning to the States for college. Her father was an Islamic and Middle Eastern scholar of Indian decent. Her mother, a renowned professor in Saudi Arabia, is Pakistani. Ms. Abedin began working for Mrs. Clinton as an intern for the then First Lady in 1996. "She is also gorgeous and the most terrifically dressed young woman you will ever encounter."

Subject: Coup d'etat in Omaha shopping mall targets Bush?

by John Lee, Pirate News TV, PirateNews.org.

Today John Stadtmiller of Republic Broadcasting reported allegations that a "lone nut" sniper was not responsible for the massacre of elite mall employees, but that it was a shootout among at least 3 shooters wearing camoflage.
http://republicbroadcasting.org

The shooters were allegedly military snipers targeting Secret Service agents, posing as mall employees, in preparation for a visit to that store that day by George W Bush, who was officially in Omaha at that same time to campaign for one of his buddies.

It is alleged that Bush was "summoned" to US Air Force Strategic Air Command HQ, which is also where Bush was on 9/11/2001 after America was attacked by robot aircraft, as NORAD was illegally ordered by its Candian commander and Dick Cheney to stand down during "live-fire wargames of hijacked airliners flying into WTC and Pentagon". SAC HQ in Omaha was where the WTC CEOs were "coincidentally" playing golf on the USAF base on 9/11/2001, with pedophile Jewish multibillionaire Warren Buffet, owner of GEICO Govt Employees Insurance Corp, which handled billions in claims and insurance fraud from 9/11.

Omaha is the location of the pedophile Franklin Coverup for snuff kiddie porn by the CIA and Reagan/Bush Sr White House. Do a google search.

The first shooter allegedly targeted a "teddy bear", symbolic of a "teddy bear" wargame scenario during the cold War. CNN reported that witnesses and victims can get counseling at Ted E Bear Hollow .

Omaha news videotaped and photographed police arrest of an African-American shooter wearing full camoflage military uniforms, led out of the mall in handcuffs. The official "lone nut" was white, with long hair and black clothing, but a shooter was positively identified as having a "short military haircut" and wearing camoflage.

The gun was first identified as a Chinese SKS, then morphed into a Russian AK47. The official "lone nut's" landlord said "the gun was too old to shoot".

The official "lone nut" was on psychiatric drugs that cause homicide and suicide, and was jailed by the govt for 4 years in the "foster care" fraud system, who met with military recruiters. The entire background of the alleged "lone nut" was fully "investigated" and repeated within 12 hours...

The alleged "lone nut" Robert Hawkins had the same name as the CIA agent in Fox TV's infamous Lone Gunmen pilot episode, of CIA attacking World Trade Center with an airliner hijacked by remote control, 6 months before the 9/11 massacres, scripted from CIA and Pentagon's real-world declassified Operation Northwoods . Northwoods included US Govt perping false-flag sniper attacks in USA. Actor Robert Hawkins was also in the TV series Jerico, which is also the name of a mental health facility "counseling" the Omaha victims, Jerico Counseling Associates .

"Operation NORTHWOODS may be the most corrupt plan ever created by the U.S. government. Operation Northwoods had called for nothing less than the launch of a secret campaign of TERRORISM within the United States in order to blame Castro and provoke a war with Cuba."
�James Bamford, ABC News, "Friendly Fire: U.S. Military Drafted Plans to Terrorize U.S. Cities to Provoke War With Cuba" , May 1, 2001

In Omaha, alleged "lone nut" sniper Robert Hawkins "shot himself in the back of the head", according to NY Times.

"There was blood everywhere," she said. "We were stepping over blood all over Von Maur." Then she saw Mr. Hawkins's body. She said he appeared to have shot himself in the back of the head. He was not dressed like the usual Von Maur customer, she remembers thinking.

-NY Times, Details of Omaha Shootings Emerge , Dec 6, 2007

Obviously it's impossible for anyone to shoot themselves in the back of the head. Where's the mall video of this alleged suicide? Executed by multiple gunmen immune from arrest, just like rich Jewish boys Dylan and Kleibold at Columbine High School Hell ?

US Secret Service `Omaha' Gun Battle Leaves 9 Dead

By: Sorcha Faal, and as reported to her Western Subscribers

FSB reports circulating in the Kremlin this morning are detailing a shocking gun battle that took place in the United States between American Secret Service Agents and an `unknown' number of what are believed to be 3 `highly trained, military type' sniper units in a suburban mall in Omaha, Nebraska.

According to these reports, President Bush, and who was summoned by America's Top Military Leaders to the US Strategic Command Headquarters, located at Offutt Air Force Base, was using as a `cover story' for his unannounced visit to Omaha a fund raising campaign for his former agriculture secretary, Mike Johanns, who is now a US Senate candidate in Nebraska.

President Bush, as these reports further state, was, prior to his leaving Omaha, to provide to the US propaganda media outlets what is called a `photo-op' showing him Christmas shopping at a mid priced to luxury goods store named Von Maur and which was located in the Westroads Mall.

As with FSB forces protecting President Putin, the American President is, likewise, protected by an elite security force called the Secret Service, and who, these reports continue, do prior security screening of all locations to be visited by those US government officials they are assigned to protect.

Upon the US Secret Service units entering into the Westroads Mall, and prior to the American President's intended photo-op, FSB reports detail a `chaotic' series of radio transmissions that, seemingly, detail a `furious' gun battle between what can only be described as US Forces firing on US Forces, and which, according to Western media information, has left 9 people dead.

US propaganda media sources, however, are reporting this event as a random shooting by a `lone gunman', though their complete story is still not complete and, as always, is subject to change.

Most curious, though, of the Western media reporting on this event is the saturation coverage describing in detail that this supposed `lone gunman', and prior to shooting his victims, first targeted a child's toy called a Teddy Bear, and as we can read:

"Witnesses said the gunman fired down on shoppers from a third-floor balcony of the Von Maur store. One witness told a TV station that he shot up a teddy bear as he sprayed fire on shoppers."

This is important to note due to the, seemingly, odd coincidence that the word `Teddy Bear' was an early Cold War term used by the United States Strategic Air Command B-52 pilots to designate the United States being on their highest alert status, DEFCON 1, and which meant:

"This refers to maximum readiness. It is not certain whether this has ever been used, but it is reserved for imminent or ongoing attack on US military forces or US territory by a foreign military power."

As we had previously detailed in our December 4^th report, "Israel In Peril As Renegade US Military Leaders Sign Treaty With Iran", it is indeed probable that the United States has, indeed, been reduced to a childlike state needing the comforting assurance that `all will be right' as long as their Teddy Bear is safely bundled beside them as they sleep.

Military connection to latest mass-shooting psy-op?

Citizens for Legitimate Government has compiled the following information from mainstream media reports regarding the mass shooting today in Nebraska::

"Photo Shows Man In Handcuffs --Witness Reports 35-40 Shots 05 Dec 2007 A viewer photo shows a man in handcuffs after shots were fired inside the Von Maur store at Westroads Mall on Wednesday afternoon.

A description of the shooter, broadcast over scanners, was that he was in an Army-green vest and was holding a rifle. The viewer's photo showed a young man in [Army] fatigues surrounded by police and apparently in handcuffs. Police have not yet confirmed an arrest. It was reported by KETV crews that the man in fatigues was found under a bus bench. KETV NewsWatch 7's Carol Kloss said she could see a man in cuffs and a black, hooded sweatshirt surrounded by police.

That reference has disappeared quicker than snow in July.] 9 dead, including suspect, in Omaha mall shooting 05 Dec 2007 A rifle-toting gunman went on a holiday murder spree in a crowded Nebraska mall Wednesday, killing eight shoppers. The killer, identified as Robert Hawkins, 19, left behind a note promising to "go out in style," Omaha television station KETV reported. His landlord told the station that Hawkins... was depressed because he had been fired from a local McDonald's. Hawkins, his hair in a military buzz cut, was reportedly wearing a camouflage vest and carrying a black backpack when he walked into the mall. It was the deadliest U.S. attack since a gunman left 32 people dead on the Virginia Tech campus in April, and the second mass shooting at a mall this year. Five people were killed and four wounded at a Salt Lake City mall in February, when police killed the gunman responsible.

Bush visit allowed quick police action

BY KAREN SLOAN AND LYNN SAFRANEK
Omaha World-Herald

December 6, 2007

President Bush's visit to Omaha on Wednesday resulted in a quicker and more organized police response to the Westroads Mall shootings, said the head of the Omaha Police Department's SWAT team.

Members of the SWAT team and other police personnel had been assembled Wednesday morning to provide security for the president's visit to a south Omaha medical clinic and a fundraiser for Republican Senate candidate Mike Johanns.

Bush's plane left Omaha close to 1 p.m., about 45 minutes before the shooting began.

Although some of the extra officers had been dismissed when the first call for assistance came in, many were still nearby and raced to the mall, said Sgt. Tim Carmody, who heads the SWAT and bomb teams.

"Based on what we know," he said, "I don't think (Bush's visit) could have prevented what happened, but it allowed us to respond faster, and we were able to efficiently clear out the mall."

It was unclear Wednesday evening how many officers responded, but Carmody said emergency agencies across the metropolitan area were involved.

Personnel from the Douglas County Sheriff's Office, the La Vista Police Department, the FBI, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and the U.S. Marshals Service were among those who assisted at the scene, he said.

Carmody was among the first to enter the mall.

"It was a lot of chaos," he said. "There were people with fear in their eyes, but our officers did a good job of telling people what to do."

Officers swept through the mall, clearing people out of stores. That was made more complicated by the fact that people had hidden behind clothing racks, ducked into dressing and storage rooms and crouched behind counters, he said. Officers led people to designated areas such as J.C. Penney, where their names and contact information were collected by police.

Carmody did not have an estimate of how many people were in the mall at the time of the shooting.

Mayor Mike Fahey's chief of staff, Paul Landow, said police had not reviewed the 911 tapes of the calls for help as of Wednesday evening but would do so.

Police said the first call about a shooting at the mall came in at 1:42 p.m., and the first officers arrived six minutes later.

Carmody said that the department has plans in place to respond to such an event and that officers followed those procedures at the Westroads.

In July, the Omaha Police Department's emergency response unit staged a training scenario involving a shooter at the University of Nebraska at Omaha. That training was in response to the April shootings at Virginia Tech and was useful in Wednesday's situation, Carmody said.

Additionally, SWAT members and some other Omaha officers have "active shooter" training, meaning they are trained to respond to gunmen.

"Things came together extremely well for a chaotic situation," Carmody said, "but that's the last thing that families' members (of people who were killed or wounded) want to hear."

Omaha Shooter Robert Hawkins Had Been "Treated" For ADHD, Depression

By Mike Adams
Editor - NewsTarget.com
12-6-7

America seems shocked that, yet again, a young male would pick up an assault rifle and murder his fellow citizens, then take his own life. This is what happened last night in Omaha, Nebraska, where the 19-year-old Hawkins killed himself and eight other people with an assault rifle. Those lacking keen observation skills are quick to blame guns for this tragedy, but others who are familiar with the history of such violent acts by young males instantly recognize a more sinister connection: A history of treatment with psychiatric drugs for depression and ADHD.


It all started in Columbine, Colorado, when Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold massacred their way into the history books on April 20, 1999 by killing 12 and wounding 23 people. The mainstream media virtually glorified the event, yet utterly failed to report the connection between violence in young men and treatment with psychiatric drugs. (Both Harris and Klebold were taking antidepressant drugs.)


It's a little known fact that antidepressant drugs have never been tested on children nor approved by the FDA for use on children. It is well established in the scientific literature, however, that such drugs cause young men to think violent thoughts and commit violent acts. This is precisely why the U.K. has outright banned the prescribing of such drugs to children. Yet here in the United States -- the capitol of gun violence by kids on depression drugs -- the FDA and drug companies pretend that mind-altering drugs have no link whatsoever to behavior.


Enormous evidence linking mind-altering drugs with violent acts

In 2005, I reported on this site that Eli Lilly had full knowledge of a 1200% increase in suicide risk for takers of their Prozac drug, a popular anti-depressant SSRI medication. (See http://www.newstarget.com/003086.html )


In 2006, we reported the results of a study published in the Archives of General Psychiatry showing that teens taking antidepressant drugs are more likely to commit suicide (and to be "successful" at completing the act). See http://www.newstarget.com/020643.html


On September 11, 2006, I reported on the link between antidepressant drugs and violent behavior yet again. (See http://www.newstarget.com/020394.html ) In that article, I explained, "If you're going to alter the brain chemistry of these children, you had better be prepared for the results. The result we're seeing now is mass killings.
Elsewhere around the world, where children aren't doped up on all these drugs, we don't see this kind of behavior. This is what happens when you change children's brain chemistry; you get these results..."


The very next day, we published a report about the anti-depressant drug Paxil doubling the risk of violent behavior. (See http://www.newstarget.com/020406.html ) In that article, I stated, "This finding helps explain why school shootings are almost always conducted by children who are taking antidepressants. We also know that SSRIs cause children to disconnect from reality. When you combine that with a propensity for violence, you create a dangerous recipe for school shootings and other adolescent violence.


In April of this year, I also reported on the link between antidepressant drugs and the Virginia Tech shooting. See http://www.newstarget.com/021798.html


What I said in that article has urgent application right now, following the Omaha shooting:


A study published in the Public Library of Science Medicine (an open source medical journal) explored these same links in detail. (See Antidepressants and Violence: Problems at the Interface of Medicine and Law, by David Healy, Andrew Herxheimer, David B. Menkes)


The authors note that "Some regulators, such as the Canadian regulators, have also referred to risks of treatment-induced activation leading to both self-harm and harm to others" and the "United States labels for all antidepressants as of August 2004 note that 'anxiety, agitation, panic attacks, insomnia, irritability, hostility, aggressiveness, impulsivity, akathisia (psychomotor restlessness), hypomania, and mania have been reported in adult and pediatric patients being treated with antidepressants for major depressive disorder as well as for other indications, both psychiatric and nonpsychiatric'".


In other words, the link between antidepressants and violence has been known for years by the very people manufacturing, marketing or prescribing the drugs. As the author of the study mentioned above concluded, "The new issues highlighted by these cases need urgent examination jointly by jurists and psychiatrists in all countries where antidepressants are widely used."


That was last year, well before this latest shooting. The warning signs were there, and they've been visible for a long time. Medical authorities can hardly say they are "shocked" by this violent behavior. After all, the same pattern of violence among antidepressant takers has been observed, documented and published in numerous previous cases.

Not surprised at what happened in Omaha


The people of Omaha may be surprised at what happened there yesterday, but I'm not. Why? Because the shooter, Robert Hawkins, had a history of being "treated" for both depression and ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder). (Source: Associated Press)


And what is the standard American psychiatric "treatment" for these conditions? Mind-altering drugs, of course.


ADHD, for example, is treated with a drug that used to be an illegal street drug called "speed." It's an amphetamine, and recent research published in the August, 2007 issue of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry reveals that Ritalin and other ADHD drugs actually stunt the growth of children, causing their brains and bodies to be physically altered. (Seehttp://www.newstarget.com/021944.html )


Depression, of course, is treated with SSRI drugs, none of which have ever been safety approved by the FDA for use on children or teens. In other words, the use of these drugs on teenagers is a grand, mind-altering medical experiment, and what we just witnessed in Omaha is one result of that experiment.


There will be more. I hate to be accurate about this grisly prediction, because I grieve for the families of those lost to pharmaceutically-induced violence, but the truth is that until we stop drugging our children with psychotropic drugs, the shootings are not going to stop.


Big Pharma is to blame for this one, not the manufacturer of the gun. That gun has a trigger, you see, and the trigger was pulled by a finger. The finger was connected via a series of nerves to a brain, and that brain was altered by psychotropic drugs. The brain wasn't functioning like a normal, healthy, well-nourished brain; it was functioning like a zoned out "zombie" brain permanently distorted by psychiatric drugs.


Sending a teenager out into the public doped up on mind-altering dru gs that we KNOW are linked to violence -- and jacked up on junk foods (he worked at McDonald's) -- is a certain recipe for disaster. Big Pharma executives, drug reps and the irresponsible psychiatrists who dish these pills out to teenagers might as well have just walked right into the mall and set off a bomb themselves. These are the people ultimately responsible for the tragedy in Omaha. Hawkins may have pulled the trigger, but modern psychiatry drugged him with violence-inducing chemicals. The fact that such drugs promote violence isn't even disputed. It's printed right on the warning labels of those drugs!


And as sad as this tragedy is for all those affected by this medication-induced violence, the truly sad part is that America still hasn't learned this lesson. If you drug the children with chemicals that cause violence, you're going to see more shootings. It's as simple as that. And if you take away the guns, you'll see bombs, knives or machetes used in these attacks. When disturbed young boys are doped up on psychotropic drugs that promote violence -- and they're drugged by the hundreds of thousands -- it's like playing a national game of Russian roulette (with apologies to Russia). Sooner or later, another kid whose mind has been altered by Ritalin, Prozac or some other drug is going to walk into yet another school or mall and start killing people. This kind of behavior is a direct product of chemical-based psychiatric "treatment."


The criminals running modern psychiatry


In fact, I predict we'll see another such shooting in the next 30 days, if not sooner. And yet, even with the increasing frequency of these events, the unholy alliance between Big Pharma and the immensely evil psychiatric industry will continue. Yet more children will be put on mind-altering drugs that stunt their growth, alter their brain chemistry, and turn them into mind-numbed massacre drones who acquire dangerous weapons and open fire in public places.


The psychiatric industry, though, thinks that yet MORE children need "treatment" with drugs for ADHD and depression. In fact, an industry press release recently claimed that only one-third of those children "suffering" from ADHD are receiving appropriate "treatment" for the condition. Of course, those are just code words for "drugging the children with high-profit pharmaceuticals." When the psychiatric authorities say "treatment," what they mean is "more drugging."


Want to learn the horrifying, yet true, history of modern psychiatry? Check out www.CCHR.org - the Citizens' Commission on Human Rights. They have a documentary so downright shocking that I couldn't even finish watching the whole thing. It's called Psychiatry: An Industry of Death.


Also be sure to check out the shocking book by Kelly Patricia O'Meara called Psyched Out: How Psychiatry Sells Mental Illness and Pushes Pills That Kill. This book explains exactly why kids like Rober t Hawkins who have been treated with psychiatric drugs end up shooting innocents.


What could have healed Robert Hawkins and saved lives


So what's the solution to all this? Robert Hawkins could have been healed with a radical change in diet that supports healthy brain chemistry. His parents or caretakers should have stopped the junk food, ended the medication and put him on raw, living foods and daily superfood smoothies, fresh vegetable juices, raw nuts and seeds and other wholesome, non-processed foods. Nutrition is the single most powerful factor determining healthy moods and behavior, and virtually all young men who commit violent acts (including the vast majority of those imprisoned in the U.S. today) suffer from wild nutritional deficiencies.

Robert Hawkins could have been a healthy, stable and normal kid with the help of some real food, real nutrition and real love from a supporting family. Instead, he lived on junk food, worked at McDonald's and took medication pills as directed by his psychiatric doctor. The results speak for themselves: This recipe of processed food and mind-altering drugs created a monster, and yesterday in Omaha, that monster exploded in a rage of violence.


If we don't learn from all this and stop drugging our nation's children, then those innocents in Omaha will have died in vain. And I ask the question: How many more innocent Americans must pay the price for medication-induced violence?


Ask yourself one question: Why does the FDA continue to allow these dangerous drugs to be prescribed to children and teens when 1) They have never been tested on children or teens, and 2) Other countries have already banned the prescribing of these drugs to children and teens?


Story Notes: The Associated Press originally reported Hawkins' age as 20 years old, but corrected it to 19 years old following a correction by local police. Hawkins was not reported to have been taking medications at the precise time of the shooting, but his caretaker, Debora Maruca-Kovac, said that "he had been treated in the past for depression and attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder." We do not know exactly which drugs Hawkins had been treated with in the past, and we hope the names of those drugs will surface in future reports on this tragedy.


NewsTarget deeply regrets the loss of life witnessed in this event, and we commit to doing our part to end these medication-induced crimes that continue to be perpetrated by Big Pharma and modern psychiatry.

Nebraska Mall Shooter Broke Up With Girlfriend, Lost Job Before Massacre

Fox News, December 06, 2007

FNC: Omaha mall shooter Robert Hawkins, 19.

OMAHA, Neb. � A teenage gunman carried his AK-47 into a Nebraska department store, took the elevator up to the third floor and immediately opened gunfire on innocent customers and store employees, officials said Thursday.

The victims, ranging from ages 24 to 66, sought cover in dressing rooms and clothing racks at the Westroads Mall but lost their lives at the hands of a 19-year-old gunman.

The incident left eight dead and five wounded before the shooter, Robert A. Hawkins, killed himself with a self-inflicted gunshot, Omaha Police Chief Thomas Warren said.

Hele Spivack, a customer, ran into a dressing room to seek refuge from the shooter.

"I turned my cell phone onto vibrate because I didn't want to draw any attention to myself," Spivack told FOX News.

Spivack heard the shots getting closer and then it was quiet. Police soon rescued her and she saw the shooter lying in a pool of blood.

The shooter left behind a suicide note that read, in part, "sorry for everything," and "Now I'll be famous." Hawkins recently broke up with his girlfriend and lost his job at McDonald's. He also had a criminal record.

Click here for photos.

"These were innocent people going about their daily lives, performing their jobs and shopping for the holidays," Omaha Mayor Mike Fahey said at a Thursday press conference, describing the gunman as a "deeply disturbed individual." "They were men and women who did not deserve the fate they were given."

The victims appeared to be selected at random, Warren said. Five females and four males were killed, including the gunman. Six of the victims were store employees.

A surveillance tape may provide more clues in the ongoing investigation to reconstruct the incident, Warren said. Hawkins used an AK-47 that he stole from his stepfather, Warren added.

Nebraska Gov. Dave Heineman ordered flags flown at half-staff through Sunday in honor of the victims and their families.

The customers killed were Gary Scharf, 48 of Lincoln and John McDonald, 65, of Council Bluffs, Iowa. The employees killed were Angie Schuster, 36, of Omaha; Maggie Webb, 24; Janet Jorgensen, 66 of Omaha; Diane Trent, 53 of Omaha; Gary Joy, 56 of Omaha; and Beverly Flynn, 47, of Omaha, police said.

Nebraska Medical Center spokeswoman Andrea McMaster said the hospital had three victims from the mall shooting, including Fred Wilson, 61, who was in critical condition early Thursday with a bullet wound to his chest.

Micky Oldham, 65, was in stable condition at Creighton University Medical Center. Oldham, who was shot once in the abdomen and once in the back, underwent surgery Wednesday to repair injuries, Dr. Leon Sykes said.

Meanwhile, investigators reviewing Hawkins' past discovered that he left his family's home about a year ago and moved in with a friend's family. Debora Maraca-Kovac and her husband welcomed Hawkins into their home.

"When he first came in the house, he was introverted, a troubled young man who was like a lost pound puppy that nobody wanted," Maruca-Kovac told The Associated Press.

She told the Omaha World-Herald that the night before the shooting, Hawkins and her sons showed her an SKS semiautomatic Russian military rifle � the same type used in the shooting. She said she thought the gun belonged to a member of Hawkins' family. She said she didn't think much of it � the gun looked too old to work.

Records in Sarpy and Washington counties showed Hawkins had a felony drug conviction and several misdemeanor cases filed against him, including an arrest 11 days before the shooting for having alcohol as a minor. He was due in court in two weeks.

Maruca-Kovac said Hawkins had recently broken up with a girlfriend and was fired from McDonald's. She told the World-Herald that Hawkins said he had been fired after being accused of stealing $17 from his till at the restaurant. McDonald's management declined to comment to the newspaper.

Maruca-Kovac said he phoned her at about 1 p.m. Wednesday, telling her he had left a note. She tried to get him to explain.

"He said, 'It's too late,"' and hung up, she told CNN. She then called Hawkins' mother.

Maruca-Kovac went to her job as a nurse at the Nebraska Medical Center, where victims of the shooting soon began to arrive.

The first 911 call came in at 1:42 p.m., and the shooting was already over when police arrived six minutes later, authorities said.

"We sent every available officer in the city of Omaha," Sgt. Teresa Negron said. "They came to the mall in lights and sirens."

The World-Herald reported that the gunman had a military-style haircut and a black backpack, and wore a camouflage vest.

Hawkins opened fire in a Von Maur store, part of a Midwestern chain. The mall will remain closed on Thursday while authorities conduct their investigation.

Mickey Vickory, who worked in the store's third-floor service department, said she heard shots and went with coworkers and customers into a back closet, emerging about a half-hour later when police shouted to come out with their hands up. As police led them to another part of the mall for safety, they saw the victims.

"We saw the bodies and we saw the blood," she said.

Keith Fidler, another Von Maur employee, said he heard a burst of five to six shots followed by 15 to 20 more rounds. Fidler said he huddled in the corner of the men's clothing department with about a dozen other employees until police yelled to get out of the store.

Witness Shawn Vidlak said the shots sounded like a nail gun. At first he thought it was noise from construction work at the mall.

"People started screaming about gunshots," Vidlak said. "I grabbed my wife and kids. We got out of there as fast as we could."

On Wednesday night, police used a bomb robot to access a Jeep Cherokee left in the mall parking lot that authorities believe belonged to Hawkins. Officers had seen some wires under some clothing, but no bomb was found.

The sprawling, three-level mall has more than 135 stores and restaurants. It gets 14.5 million visitors every year, according to its Web site.

It was the second mass shooting at a mall this year. In February, nine people were shot, five of them fatally, at Trolley Square mall in Salt Lake City. The gunman, 18-year-old Sulejman Talovic, was shot and killed by an off-duty police officer.

The shooting spree was Nebraska's deadliest since January 1958, when Charles Starkweather killed 10 people in Nebraska and another in Wyoming.

Six victims were store employees, two were customers

OMAHA, Nebraska (CNN) -- The man who killed eight people and then himself at a Nebraska mall Wednesday came into the store and looked around before leaving and returning with an assault rifle, Omaha's police chief said Thursday.

Mall security officers noticed Robert A. Hawkins, 19, of Bellevue, Nebraska, briefly enter the Von Maur department store at Omaha's Westroads Mall, Chief Thomas Warren said.

Hawkins left the store and returned six minutes later concealing something -- presumably the AK-47 assault rifle used in the rampage -- under a hooded sweatshirt, Warren said.

Hawkins turned right, took an elevator to the third floor and immediately started shooting in the store's customer service area, Warren said. Watch officials detail the rampage �

Six store employees and two customers were fatally wounded before Hawkins turned the gun on himself, the chief said. The five women and three men who died ranged in age from 24 to 66, he said.

Five other people were injured, and two of them were in critical condition, hospital officials said.

Nebraska Gov. Dave Heineman ordered that flags throughout the state be lowered to half-staff through Sunday.

The mall was expected to remain closed at least through Thursday, the store longer. Company President Jim Von Maur said grief counseling would be provided for employees and their families. A memorial fund is in the works, he said.

Warren said Hawkins apparently chose his victims randomly and spoke little or not at all while firing about 30 rounds.

The shootings sent panicked holiday shoppers fleeing for cover.

"It was just so loud, and then it was silence," said witness Jennifer Kramer, who hid inside a circular clothing rack. "I was scared to death he'd be walking around looking for someone else." Watch how Kramer and her mother hid �

Hawkins lived with a friend's family. The mother, Debra Maruca Kovac, said she found a suicide note after getting a phone call from Hawkins about 1 p.m., just minutes before the shootings. Watch her describe their last conversation �

"He basically said how sorry he was for everything," Maruca Kovac said of the note. "He didn't want to be a burden to people and that he was a piece of s--- all of his life and that now he'd be famous."

She said he told her he'd just been fired from his job at a McDonald's restaurant.

Gary Joy, 56, employee
Beverly Flynn, 47, employee

"I said, 'Come home and we'll talk about it,' " she recounted. "He said, 'It's too late.' He said he'd left a note explaining everything."

She said Hawkins was a friend of her sons who "reminded me of a pound puppy that nobody wanted." He came to live with her family about a year and a half ago, telling her he could not stay with his own family because of "some issues with his stepmother."

The governor said Hawkins had been a ward of the state for about four years, but he did not specify in what capacity. The state's custody was terminated in August of 2006, Heineman said. He did not provide any further details.

Maruca Kovac described Hawkins as well-behaved, although "he had a lot of emotional problems, obviously."

She told the Omaha World-Herald that Hawkins showed her an assault rifle the night before the rampage, but because of his mild demeanor she wasn't alarmed.

Police believe Hawkins stole the AK-47 from his stepfather's home, Warren said. They are trying to trace the weapon and determine whether the stepfather owned it legally, he added.

The shootings began about 1:42 p.m. (2:42 p.m. ET).

Seven people were found dead at the scene by officers who arrived six minutes later; two others died at Creighton University Medical Center, said Fire Chief Robert Dahlquist.

Warren said Hawkins' body and the rifle were found on the store's third floor.

Mall employee Charissa Tatoon said a man by an escalator near her was heard saying he was calling 911. See a map of where the shooting took place �

"Immediately after that, the shooter shot down from the third floor and shot him on the second floor," she said.

A friend of Hawkins' said he hadn't thought Hawkins was capable of such violence.

"He was the one guy, you know, if people would be getting in a fight he'd be trying to break it up," Shawn Saunders, who had known Hawkins for about two and a half years, told CNN. "If there were arguments amongst our friends or groups, he was kind of like the calm, cool and collected one." Watch how Saunders learned Hawkins was the shooter �

U.S. Army recruiters turned Hawkins down last summer when he tried to enlist, a source familiar with the situation told CNN Thursday.

The source didn't want to be named because it's against the rules to discuss potential recruits. The reason for his rejection was unclear.

Two recruiters said Hawkins seemed like an average teenager who said he wanted to leave Omaha and take his life in a different direction.

"He said he'd had a rough time in his life and wanted to see about changing it," said Army Sgt. Edward Dust.

President Bush had visited Omaha on Wednesday before the shooting.

"The president is deeply saddened by the shootings in Omaha," White House press secretary Dana Perino said. "His thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families."

US DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS ISSUES OFFICIAL REPORT CONFIRMING 73,000 U.S. TROOPS KILLED IN IRAQ SAME GOVERNMENT AGENCY REPORT CONFIRMS 1.6 MILLION "DISABLED" BY THE WAR

From Peter Marshall E. Boomhower
eboomhower@...

George Walker Bush has presided over the worst defeat of the United States Military since Vietnam and has deliberately skewed reporting of the deaths and injuries to conceal the facts.

Department of Veteran's Affairs, in conjunction with the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has released the truth because they need the American People to know our military is literally, destroyed.

They cannot release these horrific numbers via the chain of command because they are under orders to conceal the truth at all costs, so they let slip a report which now cannot be "un-slipped."

Here are the facts and a link to the government source to prove these facts:

More Gulf War Veterans Have Died Than Vietnam Veterans.

The Department of Veterans Affairs, May 2007, Gulf War Veterans
Information System reports the following:

Total U.S. Military Gulf War 1 and Gulf War 3 Deaths: 73,846
* Deaths amongst Deployed: 17,847

* Deaths amongst Non-Deployed: 55,999

missing face
Dead American soldier with face blown off.

Total "Undiagnosed Illness" (UDX) claims: 14,874

Total number of disability claims filed: 1,620,906
* Disability Claims amongst Deployed: 407,911
* Disability Claims amongst Non-Deployed: 1,212,995

Percentage of combat troops who filed Disability Claims 36%

Soldiers, by nature, typically don't complain. They don't want to be perceived (by idiots) as being weak, or complainers, or looking to get out of work/danger. In other words, the real impact of those who are disabled from the US invasions in Iraq, Afghanistan and other Nations, is not fully reflected in the official Veterans Affairs numbers.

Why are the government numbers of 3,777 as of 9-7-7 are so low? The answer is simple, the government does not want the 73,846 dead U.S. soldiers killed in the Gulf to date to be compared to the 55,000 U.S. soldiers killed in Vietnam, lest we all conclude Iraq = Vietnam.

Iraq bone exposed
Bone exposed from charring

What the government is doing is only counting the soldiers that die in action before they can get them into a helicopter or ambulance. Any soldier who is shot but they get into a helicopter before he dies is not counted.

73,846 dead U.S. soldiers for this scale operation using weapons of mass destruction is not high - we expect the great majority of U.S. soldiers who took part in the invasion of Iraq to die of uranium poisoning, which can take decades to kill.

Burned corpse of American mercenary
Burned corpse of Blackwater CIA mercenary (Blackwater means "blackwater heroin")

More than 1,820 tons (3-million, 640 thousand pounds) of radio-active nuclear waste uranium were exploded into Iraq alone in the form of armor piercing rounds and bunker busters, representing the worlds worst man made ecological disaster ever. 64 kg of uranium were used in the Hiroshima bomb. The U.S. Iraq Nuclear Holocaust represents far more than fourteen thousand Hiroshima atomic bombs.

That's 14,000.

The nuclear waste the U.S. has exploded into the Middle East will continue killing for BILLIONS of years and can wipe out more than a third of life on earth. Gulf War Veterans who have ingested the uranium will continue to die off over a number of years.

From a victors perspective, above any major war in history, The Gulf War has taken the severest toll on soldiers.

So far, more than one million people have been slaughtered in the illegal invasion of Iraqi by the U.S.. This is genocide of the highest order.

Iraqi birth defects are up 600% - the same will apply to U.S. Veterans.

Statistics and evidence published by the government and mainstream media in no way reflect the extreme gravity of the situation.

Those working for the government and media must wake up and take responsibility for immediately reversing this U.S. Holocaust. Understanding who is manipulating all of us is critical for all of us.

For those of you who doubt the veracity of this story, who naively believe it can't be true because if it were true, you would have heard it from the government or from the main stream media, can see the proof yourselves directly from the United States Department of Veteran's Affairs web site -Source:

http://www1.va.gov/rac-gwvi/docs/GWVIS_May2007.pdf

This story is 100% accurate. 100% true. 100% verifiable.

From the bottom of page 9:

1. The total number of service members ever identified by DoD with possible low-level chemical warfare agent exposure serving in units in the hazard areas at or near Khamisiyah, Iraq is 145,472 as of June 30, 2006.

In this report, VBA displayed compensation and pension statistics on 145,456 service members. VA and DoD have completed their fourth quarter 2006 review of service member records. However, there is a possibility of future changes, if needed, based on further review by DoD.

Wounded soldier billed to repay sign-up bonus

The Associated Press
Posted : Sunday Nov 25, 2007 16:16:36 EST

MOUNT LEBANON, Pa. � A soldier whose injuries in Iraq forced him to leave the military early "inadvertently" received a letter from the Army asking him to repay a portion of his sign-up bonus, the military said.

Former Pfc. Jordan Fox got a letter asking him to repay $2,800 of his $7,500 enlistment bonus, and officials were checking to see if other injured soldiers were sent similar notices, the Army said in a statement Wednesday.

Soldiers who are injured or become ill while on active duty can keep all sign-up bonuses due to them, the Army said. But the Army hasn't decided whether to pay Fox his unused leave, Army spokesman Maj. Nathan Banks said.

The statement came after Fox appeared on local and national TV and radio shows to talk about the letter.

Fox, 21, from the Pittsburgh suburb of Mount Lebanon was partially blinded in his right eye and sustained a back injury in a roadside bomb explosion in Baqubah in May. He returned to the U.S. two months later and received a discharge.

In late October, Fox got a letter from the Army seeking repayment of part of his enlistment bonus because he had only completed about a year of his three-year service.

Another letter arrived a week later warning he could be charged interest if he didn't make a payment within 30 days.

"I was just completely shocked," Fox said. "I couldn't believe I'd gotten a bill in the mail from the Army."

Army officials said they don't know how many other soldiers may have faced similar situations.

Fox said his sight has improved, but he still has back pain. He helps his family run Operation Pittsburgh Pride, a volunteer group that has sent 4,000 care packages to troops in Iraq.

"I'm fortunate," Fox said. "I have both arms and both legs. A lot of people aren't that lucky."

59-year-old faces criminal charge of obstructing governmental
operations

Arkansas News Bureau
By Bill Lawson
Dec 12, 2007

MAUMELLE - Having lived 59 years, battled cancer, worn the country's
uniform for 26 years and proudly worked as a journalist - a
profession I always admired - I thought I'd seen it all. That is
until Monday night, when I was arrested and charged with a criminal
offense just for trying to do my job and take photos of a residential
fire in Maumelle.

Being arrested, searched, having my camera, reporter's notebook and
billfold confiscated, humiliated in front of friends and people I
write about every week was a difficult way to be arrested for the
first time in my life. The only other time I wore a pair of handcuffs
was 10 years ago during a training class at the Law Enforcement
Training Academy in Camden.

When I was told that I was being arrested it seemed like a dream. I
knew I'd done nothing wrong. But I knew better than to argue with a
state trooper who obviously had an attitude.

Although I was arrested and handcuffed, not once was I read my
rights. In fact, the State Police trooper told me I was being charged
with obstructing governmental operations and one other offense. I
can't remember what the second one was. It was such an incredulous
feeling to be stopped from doing my job, much less to be arrested,
that it was difficult to consider what was really happening.

All I was doing was what Capt. Gloria Weakland, State Police Troop A
commander, advised me to do when I inquired via telephone months back
about a fatality accident near Cabot and talked to her about covering
the news. Capt. Weakland told me that I was welcome at any accident
or incident scene and for me to approach the trooper there and
identify myself with the news media and that I would have access to
do my job.

That's all I was trying to do Monday evening. I didn't think the
trooper in Maumelle had seen the press credential on my windshield
and I approached him as she suggested to let him know who I was and
why I was there. That's when he said he was going to arrest me for
approaching him. He told me that he saw the press sign on my
windshield and the ID around my neck but that it didn't mean anything
to him.

Life has been difficult for me since my battle with cancer. The
cancer, radiation treatments and multiple surgeries have all left
their marks on me. Thank God I'm cancer-free, but I'm not half the
young man who used to run the 100-yard dash in 10.2 seconds. In fact,
this past weekend has been one of the most painful in my life. The
medicine that I still must take often depletes my potassium and my
muscles hurt so badly it's very difficult to move. I actually have to
hold on to something to pull my way in and out of my vehicle so that
I don't generate more pain in my legs. I use my arms and hands as
much as possible to keep from using my legs to even lift me out of
chairs because of the pain.

Of course, being overweight makes it even more difficult. For the
first two years of my battle with cancer, I had to take steroid shots
along with the 18 different kinds of medicine, to even feel like
getting out of bed. A combination of the cancer's damage to my
kidneys, bladder and colon and the steroids added about 100 pounds to
my already large frame. But I tell people everyday that I'd rather be
fat and alive than skinny and dead. My physician tells me that some
of the kidney medicine I take contributes to the retention of fluids
in spite of other medicine to help relieve that problem.

The combination of medical problems and being overweight makes for a
slow-moving wide body. Walking is a chore and an occasional run or
climbing stairs leaves me breathless. After being handcuffed and
forced to stand still for more than 30 minutes beside his Arkansas
State Police vehicle with unit number A-54 on it, I couldn't move a
muscle. When I squirmed, the trooper was yelling at me to stop
resisting. Standing with my arms behind me was difficult and painful
to the point of being unbearable. I know what resisting is and I did
nothing that could be considered that. The too-tight handcuffs hurt
my wrists and I have scratches from them on my right arm where the
trooper hit it while slapping the handcuffs on me. All of that and
the pain of standing still for so long was unbearable, but I knew
better than to complain or suffer the trooper's wrath.

His demeanor was abusive, intimidating and downright scary.

Some of my friends on the Maumelle Fire Department came over to check
on me. I was still 50 to 75 yards away from the minor fire and they
all wondered what was going on. They asked if they could help and I
told my publisher's son-in-law, who is a firefighter, to call him in
case I needed to be bailed out of jail. The firemen later told me
they couldn't believe I had been arrested for attempting to take
photos far away from the fire. In fact, they called the Maumelle
Police Department to come and check on me because they said they were
worried about me.

After my boss' son-in-law left, the trooper came over and asked if I
was somebody special. I told him no, I'm just a reporter. Then he
wanted to know whom I asked the fireman to call and I explained that
it was my boss. He then asked which newspaper I worked for and I
tried to explain that I worked for several newspapers owned by
Stephens Media. He wanted to argue with me, telling me I'd mentioned
a specific newspaper earlier. Every time I tried to explain, the
trooper would interrupt me, like a trial attorney would do when
they're trying to discredit you.

I wanted to tell him that I needed to sit down but I was afraid he'd
charge me with something else, or worse. After all, he had the gun
and authority of a state trooper and I was just a journalist with a
notepad and a camera. As mad as he was, I feared for my safety. He
had roughed me up a little bit, pulling my left hand behind my back
and then demanding that I let go of the camera in my right hand. I
wasn't about to drop a $1,500 camera with a $400 strobe light on it.
He grabbed it and yelled at me until I let it go. He took it, walked
off behind me and later placed the camera on the trunk of his vehicle.

After he visited with several Maumelle police officers, he came up to
me and asked me, "If I take these handcuffs off you, are you going to
behave?"

I was stunned. From the moment he told me to turn around because I
was under arrest for taking his photo, I attempted to follow his
every command for fear of what he might do. I was handcuffed and
defenseless. Not that I'd have tried to resist; I have too much
respect for law enforcement officers to do that, even when I know I
didn't do anything wrong.

As I was handcuffed, he tried to tell me that I'd stuck the
camera "up in my face, inches from my nose, snapping it over and over
attempting to blind me." I tried to explain that the camera had been
set on motor drive in order to capture the firefighters in action and
that I had actually only snapped it once. He wanted to argue and said
that I held it down for 10 seconds or longer, telling me that he knew
all about cameras.

Even hours after the arrest, it all seems like a dream. A very bad
dream. Maumelle Police Chief Sam Williams told me that I should file
a complaint against the state trooper. I told him that wasn't my
style because I have so much respect for all police officers and the
difficult jobs they do.

I've worked closely with state troopers and count many of them as
friends. In April 2006 when a trooper sergeant died out on a
roadblock, I was so inspired when I attended his funeral in Searcy
that I wrote a newspaper column tribute to him and all troopers,
entitled "The Thin Blue Line," that ended up being reprinted in the
Arkansas State Police Association's magazine.

After the episode, Chief Williams told me he might have yelled at me
if he thought I'd overstepped my bounds, but he said he certainly
wouldn't have arrested me for just doing my job.

Standing on a public street in a city where I've covered much more
serious fires than this one, I couldn't have believed that my First
Amendment rights to cover and report the news would have been
abridged. Even worse than the painful handcuffing episode, the state
trooper turned me around so that I could not even see the
firefighters in action putting out the fire. That was adding insult
to injury. Now I can't even report on their outstanding efforts to
save a home - because I wasn't allowed to see it and I can't report
what I didn't see.

TBR News, December 10, 2007.

The Voice of the White House.

Washington, D.C. December 10, 2007: "The Pakis could nuke India but
our media would be far more interested in babbling about the
political candidates to report it. I have never in all my life seen
such a slate of useless pieces of shit but the media loves to keep
the public's eye on what this one is doing or what that one just
said. Keeps us from seeing what the criminally stupid White House is
doing, or not doing.

There is one story that I know is true that the media would never
dare touch, along with never, never saying anything bad about Sainted
Israel or Jesus, and that concerns Hillary. Lots of juicy stories
around about her but stories you will never see anywhere in print.
Some time ago, Hillary Rodham graduated from Yale Law School and went
to California to work for the far-left law firm of Robert Treuhaft.
He was a very left wing labor lawyer who was married to Jessica
Mitford. Jessica's sister, Unity, was Hitler's mistress until the war
broke out, she tried to shoot herself and was shipped home to die.

Anyway, Hillary was assigned to the very radical Black Panther groups
who were, at that time, centered in Oakland, California. At one
point, they all drove in a caravan to the state capitol in Sacramento
and terrified the legislators with a large number of firearms.

After strutting their stuff, the Panthers holed up in various local
cheap motels where the State Police duly routed them out. Hillary
was, according to a California State Police report, found naked in
bed with a black woman! Wonderful but not a surprise to those who
know her.

This was written up, and published, by San Francisco `Chronicle'
columnist, Herb Caen. When Bill became President, he sent the FBI to
seize the report but copies had been made and circulated.

And among other issues, it seems that the family name of `Rodham' was
once "Rodomski" and her father's family came from the Jewish ghetto
in Lodz, Poland and settled in England before emigrating to the
Chicago area.

This is a subject that the domestic media will never talk about,
mainly out of protection for their co-religionist but we hear that
this will all come out in the wash before the convention. I
personally knew about this ten years ago so it isn't news to me or
most of the people I know but our press knows who signs the paychecks
so we hear nothing.

And if she's elected, the Pentagon phone intercepts show that she
plans to continue the' Everything for Greater Israel' program now in
place in the Bush White House.  An executive from AIPAC told one of
his backers that `Hillary says she'll bomb Tehran back to the stone
age�'

http://www.tbrnews.org/Archives/a2798.htm

=======================================

Hillary brags that her grandmother spoke Yiddish. She and Bill are
homosexuals according to their CIA sexslave Cathy O'Brien at Trance-
Formation.com. Bill Clinton was born William Bythe III, who changed
his name to Clinton when he was 18 years old. He was raised in Jewish
synogogue. He is alleged to be a bastard Rockefeller, son of Winthrop
Rockefeller, the gay governor of Arkansas. He was introduced to
President JFK by Rabbi David Rockefeller, who he vacations with at
Jewish Satanic Bohemian Grove presidential homosexual nudist
compound, along with the Bushes.

New Document Provides Further Evidence That Owner of Crashed Cocaine Jet Was a U.S. Government Operative Signatures Link Florida Pilot Greg Smith to DEA/FBI/CIA Operations in Colombia

By Bill Conroy

Special to The Narco News Bulletin

December 1, 2007

This particular Gulfstream II (tail number N987SA), was used between 2003 and 2005 by the CIA for at least three trips between the U.S. east coast and Guantanamo Bay � home to the infamous "terrorist" prison camp � according to a number of press reports. The suggestion that a "CIA plane" was flying a huge quantity of drugs toward the U.S. ensured that this incident would attract far more attention than the typical drug smuggling story.

title=

The Gulfstream Jet was initially reported by the Mexican Press as carrying a huge cargo of more than 6 Tons of Cocaine as well as one ton of pure Heroin but a later press release courtesy of the Mexican Military had it dwindled down to only 4 tons of Cocaine with no Heroin whatsoever. By early October the Mexican press announced a 3rd reduction leaving only 3.7 Tons of cocainefollowed a few days with 3.6 then later by a 5th and final report from the Mexican Authorities that gave the amount as just 3.3 tons of Cocaine. Draw your own conlusions about the missing 3 ton's of cocaine and the ton of heroin that was first reported. Everybody is out to make money on the drug war even the so called good guys if there is such a thing.

title=

The airplane which had originated out of Fort Lauderdale was returning to the United States from Colombia's Rio Negro Jos� Mar�a C�rdova International Airport.

title=

The city of Rio Negro is a suburb of Medillen , Colombia and is also the home town of Colombian President �lvaro Uribe who is very close to Bush. Medillen was also the home of the worlds largest Cocaine Cartel for nearly 3 decades and probably still is with just different bosses running it.

title= Medillen's Rio Navidad

The Gulfstream II also had a scheduled refueling stop recorded on it's flight log for Cancun , Mexico. Something went wrong because once the plane crossed into Mexico's Air Space from Belize the Mexican Military began tracking and following it. The Mexican Army and the Air Force also waited for the Aircraft in Canc�n. The crew clearly had to change that refueling stop and flew west attempting to land at other smaller airports it eventually ran out of jet fuel and crash landed near the tiny Yucatan village of Tixkokob. Apparently their were four individuals aboard the aircraft but initially only one was captured although later 2 more were also picked up but the authorities haven't released all of their names supposedly there were 3 men and one lady but who really knows this whole thing is just crazy. To be honest with relation to the crew of the Gulfstream II N987SA the Mexican Government is being pretty damn silent.

title=

While they fly tons of drugs in we have this idiot John P. (Pinocchio) Walters the so called Drug Czar claiming the United States is Winning the War on Drugs if so then why are ultra paranoid Conspiracy theorist cops getting all bent out of shape over a Blue Fuckin Hershey's breath mint wrapper that they swear was made to glorify the drug trade. I would assume Hershey's doesn't need to glorify much of anything with all the damn Chocolate they sell.

title=

I'll have more on this very soon in fact I've already got some new information I just have to put it all together.

Gun Owners Group Condemns "Treacherous" Passage Of Anti-Second
Amendment Legislation.

"Veterans bill" passed by House and Senate without recorded vote.

Steve Watson
Infowars.net
Friday, Dec 21, 2007

Gun owners and second amendment rights groups have condemned the
passage by Congress yesterday of legislation that re-writes the law
in order to regulate gun ownership.

Alex Jones was joined on air yesterday by Aaron Zelman, Executive
Director of the pro second amendment group Jews for the Preservation
of Firearms Ownership, to discuss the passing by Congress of
the "NICS Improvement Act".
http://www.jpfo.org

Opponents have dubbed the bill, the "veterans disarmament act" as it
will place any veteran who has ever been diagnosed with Post
Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) on the federal gun ban list.

The bill, HR 2640, passed in the House in June and was later passed
out of the Senate Judiciary Committee both times without a recorded
vote. Gun owners have been trying to raise awareness and beat down
the legislation ever since.

The bill, sponsored by outspoken anti-second amendment
representatives Carolyn McCarthy (D-NY) and Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-
VT), also applies to anyone who has been diagnosed with ADHD as a
child and to anyone who develops Alzheimer's. Gun owners fear that in
time the diagnosis of any kind of mental affliction could end with
rights being stripped.

"This was a combined effort between the NRA and Carolyn McCarthy and
Charlie Schumer, to appear to be doing something good, but in reality
it brings about a great deal of evil." Aaron Zelman commented on the
Alex Jones show.

"One example that has really concerned me for many months since this
bill was introduced, I haven't seen a clear definition of what a
mental health problem is, does that mean somebody who was depressed
for a week if there was a death in the family? They got a few pills
from their doctor or does it mean something much more severe?" Zelman
continued.

The legislation is another case that hinges on the government's
incessant creation of psychological profiles for everything that are
then used to categorize people and accordingly strip rights.

Section 102((1)�(iv) in HR 2640 provides for dumping raw medical
records into the system which will then, by law, serve as the basis
for gun banning.

The bill radically redefines key legal terms to allow gun ownership
rights to be stripped on the findings of a psychiatric diagnosis,
where in the past gun rights could only be withdrawn through an
adjudication by a judge, magistrate or court with the protections of
due process.

"This really opens a door for the ATF, to come smashing the door down
actually in your home because lets say you owned guns prior to
someone saying you have a mental health issue, well that means you
can't keep the guns you have. So this will give a whole new emphasis
to ATF to justify their budget and their thuggery." Zelman stressed
during yesterday's interview.

"This bill is treachery on behalf of the NRA and the usual group of
gun haters. it should be a red flag to everybody who is listening to
your program that the battle to destroy the second amendment has
started. The war on guns is in full force." Zelman continued.

The legislation also mirrors policy of Bill Clinton's administration
over seven years ago when some 83,000 veterans were illegitimately
added into the National Criminal Information System (NICS system) --
prohibiting them from purchasing firearms, simply because of
afflictions like PTSD.

Section 101(c)(1)(C) of HR 2640 would rubber-stamp those illegal
actions. Over 140,000 law-abiding veterans would be statutorily
barred from possessing firearms.

Furthermore, the legislation passed the Senate and the House on a
voice vote, meaning there is no record of who voted for it. The bill
will now go to the President's desk

The veterans disarmament act is tantamount to declaring the fear of
an authoritarian government, the cornerstone of the second amendment,
a mental illness. Once again we are witnessing another all out attack
on the basic founding principles of the American Republic.

"The supreme court may say yes you have a right to gun ownership but
the government has a right to regulate. That regulation could also
include taxation. The battle is on and anyone who thinks, well no,
we're gonna win the day and things are going to turn out OK, they
need to take an anti-Naive pill." Zelman urged yesterday.

Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership's website has more
information and advice on what action can be taken to combat the
legislation

"As we have shown people in our film, innocents betrayed, when
governments take guns they are able to demonize a group of people,
they are abe to determine whether that group of people will live or
die, and they are able to control the entire society because no one
can resist effectively." Zelman concluded.

Iowa Caucus tallied by Israeli Defense Firm

ELRON ELECTRONICS: The Israeli Defense Company That Tallies the Iowa
Caucus

by Christopher Bollyn on December 31st, 2007 at 8:10am

The Iowa caucus is only a few days away and the nation's attention
will be directed to the results, which signify the beginning of the
U.S. presidential race. But does anyone watch who tallies the
results...?

The Iowa caucus is only a few days away and the nation's attention
will be directed to the results, which signify the beginning of the
U.S. presidential race. But does anyone watch who tallies the results
of the Iowa caucus? The Iowa caucus results were tallied in 2004 by a
company that is headed by a man whose company was bought by Elron
Electronics, the Israeli defense firm. I suspect that it will be the
same this year. Don't expect to see any grassroots political
activists doing the tally in Iowa. The Israeli defense establishment
takes care of that part of the American "democratic" election
process.
VOXEO

In the summer of 2004, I first learned that a foreign and out-of-
state company using Interactive Voice Response (IVR) technology
tallied the Iowa caucus results.

The system used to tally the 2004 Iowa caucus results was provided by
a company called Voxeo, which was apparently based in Orlando,
Florida. (Yellow flag goes up in the mind of those familiar with
Orlando and electronic vote fraud history. See Bollyn article on Wang
below.)

The calls from the nearly 2,000 caucus centers in Iowa went to a
Voxeo call center in Atlanta, Georgia.

On January 31, 2005, I wrote to Michelle Bauer, Iowa's Secretary of
State with some questions about the use of Voxeo, a foreign company
located in Florida, to tally the results of the Iowa caucus:


Subject: How was the Iowa Caucus Tallied?

Dear Sirs,

When I visited the headquarters of the Democratic Party in Des Moines
last summer, I learned that the tally of the Iowa caucus had
been "out-sourced" to a company in Atlanta, Georgia.

What this means is that the tallying of the Iowa caucus results was
done over the telephone, using the touch-tone buttons, to enter the
results from each caucus location�

I am interested in how this was done, and why. Why did the Democratic
Party allow the crucial tally of the caucus results to be done by a
company in Atlanta? Don't they trust their own math skills?

Can any of you provide any information about this matter?

Kind regards,

Christopher Bollyn

A person named Mike Milligan wrote back on behalf of Secretary of
State Bauer:


Mike Milligan <milliganconsulting@...> wrote:

Dear Christopher:

The Secretary of State forwarded me the email you sent to then on
Monday, January 31, 2004 [sic] regarding the Iowa Caucuses.

Unfortunately you either received some incorrect information in your
travels or are confused. The Iowa Democratic Party completed all of
the caucus night tabulations in Iowa, in the Des Moines/Polk County
Convention Center, which was the Caucus night HQ. In fact, our tech
staff wrote the software that tabulated the results.

To answer your second to last question, we feel we have a comfortable
grasp of mathematics.

Sincerely,

MWM

Mike Milligan, Executive Director
Iowa Democratic Party
(515) 244-7292 ex. 676

I wrote this note back to Mr. Milligan:


Dear Mr. Milligan, I am responding to you about how the caucus
results for the Iowa Democratic Party were tallied on the night of
the nation's first caucus. After checking my sources, I can assure
you that it is correct that an out-of-state telephone/computer system
tallied the Iowa precinct results.

The system used was provided by Voxeo Corporation based in Orlando,
Florida. The calls went from Iowa to a call center in Atlanta,
Georgia.

See: http://www.voxeo.com/

This information was first provided to me last August by John
McCormally, Communications Director for the Iowa Democratic Party in
Des Moines, Iowa.

Today I called Voxeo (800) 305-5771 in Orlando and although I didn't
go into detail, the receptionist confirmed that Voxeo had conducted
the telephone tally of the Iowa Democratic Caucus results.

How is it that you don't know that?

McCormally told me that chairmen were selected in all 1,993 precincts
and these chairmen called in on touch-tone phones and after giving
their PIN number, were able to enter the results from their precinct
using the touch-tone number pad.

I'm not going to go into great detail at this point, but this
procedure of using an out-of-state computer company to tally the
precinct results for the Iowa Democratic Caucus lacks the
transparency and openness that one might expect in this exercise in
grass-roots poll.

Clearly, if someone wanted to adjust the results, it would be the
easiest thing to do to do it through this computer system in Orlando,
Florida. The Democrats in Iowa would never be aware of it, regardless
of their math skills, unless the paper results were carefully audited
in an open and honest manner.

Christopher Bollyn

THE ISRAELIS & VOXEO

Now, who really is Voxeo, and why are the Iowa caucus results tallied
by them? I don't know if the 2008 Iowa results will be tallied in the
same way, but I wouldn't doubt it.

Voxeo is headed by Jonathan Taylor, who is the company's President
and CEO. This is what his Voxeo webpage says about him:

Jonathan combined his experience in both business operations and
technology innovation to found Voxeo in 1999. Under his guidance,
Voxeo has seen triple-digit revenue growth for four consecutive years
and has been profitable since January, 2004. Prior to Voxeo, Jonathan
founded and helped bring three additional software and infrastructure
service companies to profitability. From 1995 to 1997, Jonathan was
the founder and President of InterResearch and Development Group
(IRdg), Inc. IRdg created and licensed iPost - the first internet
powered OEM unified messaging solution - to leading
telecommunications providers including Ericsson, Motorola and Unisys.
IRdg was acquired by Elron Electronic Industries (Nasdq: ELRN)
subsidiary MediaGate in 1997.

There you have it. Jonathan Taylor's company, which he founded, was
taken over by Elron Electronic Industries, the Israeli defense high
tech company:

In its early days, Elron focused on defense, particularly electronics
and avionics, as well as the emerging medical and technology sectors.
In 1966, Elron founded Elbit, which combined the expertise of the
Ministry of Defense-Research Institute in special computer design
with Elron's experience in electronic product design, manufacture and
management.

This is important information that Americans need to know and which
they will not find in the Zionist-controlled media in the United
States. It needs to be understood that the entire election process in
the United States is a fraud. More than that, it is a fraud that is
being perpetrated by the Israeli defense establishment on the na�ve
and gullible American public.

The sine qua non of an honest and transparent election process is the
open counting of the votes by the voters themselves in each polling
station in front of the open eyes of other citizens and members of
the media. Any compromise in this most fundamental and essential
process which acts to remove the citizenry from the vote-counting
process simply cannot be accepted.

This is what Americans MUST get back to, in every polling station in
the nation: paper ballots that are hand counted in front of the
public.

Nothing else will do to protect their democratic franchise in the
United States - NOTHING.

John Lee Says:

January 4th, 2008 at 4:58 am Here in Knoxville Tennessee our votes
are "counted" by foreign military contractor Danaher Systems, which
loses 20,000 registered votes in Knox County each "election". In 2007
(we vote in odd years to keep the sheeple from figuring out when to
vote) the voting machines were literally exported out of state in
order for the "broken" computers to be read and counted by a private
subcontractor.

So your story in Iowa sounds just like the nightmare in TN. The
Iowa "winners" were announded with only 30% of the votes "counted".
At 10pm CST, CNN's webpage alleged 97% of votes were counted, but
other totals reported only 30% to 40% were counted.

How Dare Charlie Gibson Allow Ron Paul To Speak

Lew Rockwell.com
Sunday January 6, 2007

The role of a debate moderator, explains the New York Times, is to
protect the people's ears from dangerous ideas. Charlie Gibson,
running the ABC debate last night, did not do his job. Or as the
Times puts it, "by not intervening more forcefully early on in the
Republican debate, he allowed much of their discussion to remain
staid and uninformative � Representative Ron Paul, of all candidates,
dominated the foreign policy debate." And not just on foreign policy:
Ron dominated on energy, health care, economics, and all areas.

What happened was this: Ron Paul pointed out that the neocon emperor
has no clothes. He has always done that, but the past debates were
organized and moderated to marginalize him and silence him. Last
night, he was in the thick of things, and therefore he showed up his
opponents as scared and hollow men.

The regime is based on lies; it can't stand the truth, so last night
was an historic moment; the regime began to crumple. (Thanks to John
Pankratz for the URL.)

====================================================


He Came, and He Saw, but Did He Moderate?

By ALESSANDRA STANLEY
New York Times
January 6, 2008

The first debates after the Iowa caucuses were a crucible for the
candidates, but they were also a test of the Gibson Doctrine. ABC's
anchor, Charles Gibson, began the evening with a policy
statement: "The less of a moderator, the better."

Last night, however, a little more moderator would have been for the
best.

Charles Gibson's low-key, avuncular style was a counterpoint to the
aggressive cross-examinations of Tim Russert, of NBC's "Meet the
Press," in the debates he moderated. But in the end, Mr. Gibson's
approach came off as passive-aggressive.

At certain moments, he loftily lectured the candidates. He scolded
the Republicans for "intellectual dishonesty" about oil prices. He
mocked Democrats who promised to change Washington, saying, "God love
you all."

But Mr. Gibson withdrew whenever the discussions grew heated. And by
not intervening more forcefully early on in the Republican debate, he
allowed much of their discussion to remain staid and uninformative �
Representative Ron Paul, of all candidates, dominated the foreign
policy debate.

When Rudolph W. Giuliani and others began to pile on Mr. Paul about
his views on radical Islam, the discussion got so tangled that Mr.
Gibson held up his hands in a time-out sign, saying with a helpless
laugh: "Time. Time." That prompted Mitt Romney to chide him, "You
started it."

The candidates are not the only ones seeking higher office. There was
a reason why Mr. Gibson spent so much time ahead of the debate
explaining how he wouldn't take time away from the candidates: he is
running for the position of America's anchor.

A little like Mike Huckabee and Barack Obama before the Iowa
caucuses, Mr. Gibson faced low expectations when he became the ABC
anchorman in May 2006. He seemed too old and rumpled to catch up with
Brian Williams, NBC's sleek, youthful anchorman, who held a
comfortable, commanding lead in the ratings. Mr. Gibson didn't seem
flashy enough to compete with Katie Couric, who was noisily promoted
by CBS as the face of the future.

Instead, viewers turned out not to want change: audiences preferred
Mr. Gibson's easy, dignified style and comforting familiarity. Now,
Mr. Gibson and Mr. Williams are basically running neck-to-neck for
the No. 1 spot, and Mr. Gibson has the advantage: in 2007, ABC's
evening news program was the one that gained viewers, while NBC lost
almost 500,000.

And like a candidate trying to lower expectations before a crucial
vote, Mr. Gibson played down his own role in the debates. "To the
extent that I can I'll shut up and hope that they talk to each
other," he said on ABC News just before the debate.

Mr. Gibson grew more assertive in the second half of the evening,
boring in on Senator Barack Obama on the subject of attacking Al
Qaeda in Pakistan, and prodding Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton to
challenge Mr. Obama's readiness to take office. As the evening wore
on, he forgot his pledge to be the invisible moderator and showed off
his bona fides, saying in a prelude to a question to Democrats about
a possible nuclear attack, "I've read a lot about this."

Mr. Gibson clearly set out to stay in the background. Each new topic
was introduced with an explanatory video clip by ABC News reporters.
Mr. Gibson even used a clip of President Bush discussing the need for
firm principles to ask the Republican candidates to
discuss "constancy" on policy issues. He seemed to be opening the
debate to the problem of policy flip-flops.

But the question was posed in such a vague way that it allowed each
candidate to recite self-serving boilerplate about their personal
philosophies. Mike Huckabee recited lines from the Declaration of
Independence.

Mostly, Mr. Gibson seemed ambivalent. At times, he worked hard to
appear unobtrusive � crouched in his seat like Rodin's thinker, he
put a finger over his mouth before he finished a sentence, as if
hushing himself. At others, he turned magisterial. He insisted that
the Republican and Democratic candidates meet on stage in between
debates and shake hands, telling the audience, "What unites us is
greater than what divides us."

He never lost his cool, however, and it was a night that required
stamina: monitoring two back-to-back debates was a little like
sitting through all three parts of Tom Stoppard's eight-and-a-half
hour trilogy "Coast of Utopia" in one day.

Mr. Gibson had said that moderating a debate is a "high-wire act." It
is. But by insisting that he would stay out of the fray, he allowed
himself to look a little like a witness called in to testify before a
Senate hearing, where committee member pontificate at length while
the witness looks on gravely, hoping to not look bored or foolish on
camera.

There is pending federal legislation calling for a new interstate from Savannah, Ga, to Knoxville.

Interstate 3 and 3rd Infantry to invade Blount County

Coming across his link prompted me to do some searching and I found this, where the interstate would come up U.S. 129 through Alcoa and Maryville.

Interstate 3/3rd Infantry Division Highway Initiation Act of 2004

Then I found this, which would simply authorize the study and a report.

Here's a story. And here's another one, and another one.

Here's a press release.

Clearly a new route, called Interstate 3, would be, err, excuse the bad pun, a long way down the road. Nonetheless, an interesting topic of discussion, especially with it coming through Blount County.

Brady Bunch's favorite toon

By John Lee, Pirate News TV

While everyone was watching the election fraud in New Hampshire this week, Jr Bush signed the Veterans Disarmanent Bill that was passed by Congress in a secret vote during Xmas holidays.

This bill will permanently disarm the 50+% of Amerikans who ever got any psymeds like Ritalin or Prozac, and raise $125-million in new taxes for the computer background database of all medical records of all US citizens from cradle to grave.

This bill was supported by NRA, and claimed as a victory by the Brady Bunch. Never mind that James Brady was shot by a close family friend of Georges Bush, promoting Bush to president 8 years early, whose father runs World Vision Corp for CIA (those nice folks who employed the assassin of John Lennon).

It's a backdoor total gun ban, to bypass the 2nd Amendment to US Constitution, and bypass search warrants and privacy of medical records via "voluntary contracts".

This unconstitutional bill was supported by the "mentally ill" Commie Chinese Korean alien mass-shooter at Virginia Tech DARPA.MIL CIA University, whose sister is employed by CIA , US Dept of State Genocide in Iraq and those nice CIA contractors who performed waterboarding torture in Abu Ghraib death camp.

Quote:

H.R.2640 -- NICS Improvement Amendments Act of 2007

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

(9) On April 16, 2007, a student with a history of mental illness at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University shot to death 32 students and faculty members, wounded 17 more, and then took his own life. The shooting, the deadliest campus shooting in United States history, renewed the need to improve information-sharing that would enable Federal and State law enforcement agencies to conduct complete background checks on potential firearms purchasers. In spite of a proven history of mental illness, the shooter was able to purchase the two firearms used in the shooting. Improved coordination between State and Federal authorities could have ensured that the shooter's disqualifying mental health information was available to NICS.

But the alleged robocop sniper in Knoxville was given a clean bill of mental health by UT Psych Dept to remain on campus?

Does this mean the sane thing to do is shoot robocops?

Or is that what They want US to think?

Will this bill kill gun dealers, by cutting their customer base in half?

Meanwhile, TN legislature is "considering" a bill to allow patrons to carry guns and defend themselves in restaurants that serve alcohol, unless the business owner posts signs banning guns under contract.

In Memphis TN, the number of "JUSTIFIABLE homicides" has TRIPLED, and gun murders have DECREASED, including a decrease in gang activity, thanks to new laws allowing self defense during home invasions, and more citizens taking handgun carry permit classes. Citizens successfully defend themselves with deadly force 1,000% more often than police defend the citizens of Memphis...

Replacement RPGs:
http://www.myspace.com/hotties4ronpaul_

According to your latest, and last, Ron Paul Girl production, your
team has decided to abandon future RPG videos, apparently joining
forces with "winning" Demorat Hussein Obama, who refuses to salute
the US flag nor sing during the National Anthem, son of an alcoholic
bigamist in the British colony of Kenya, who is Dick Cheney's COUSIN.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=Fwog6E08CFU
http://youtube.com/watch?v=O_1psqLa_sA

I agree that the problem with Ron Paul supporters and Libertarians is
they just want to drop out, rather than fight to the death, unlike
the Demorat and Republicon Gangsta Govt machines.

Election fraud will occur in every precinct where Ron Paul voters
fail to perform their own audit of every vote, then file felony
charges and civil injunctions against the perps, as always required
in poly ticks (many bloodsucking creatures). If RP won a state by
90%, vote flipping can reverse that into 10%, with audits banned of
vote counts by private foreign military contractors.

This is reality. In Knox County Tennessee, "our" private foreign
military contractor "loses" 20,000 registered votes every "election",
with computer voting machines literally exported out of the state to
count important tie-breakers.
http://piratenews.org/election2006.html

You can get a copy of every vote in your county on CD, for a cost of
$100, to do your own audits. Lawyers or experienced pro ses must then
immediately file litigation in their jurisdiction, to assert their
voting rights. This is not optional if you want to win. Civil
litigation can routinely take 10 years, or 30 years, and only losers
or those bribed to take a dive quit too soon, like Al Gore. I
literally fight parking tickets harder than he fought for the White
House (took me 2.5 years to win that parking ticket trial). Class
actions take much more skill, but can cover large areas, even
nationwide.
http://piratenews.org/newslinks.html

The reason RP is (allegedly) unknown by the masses, and why some
facts are considered "wacko" by some people (a minority?), is that we
have failed to educate the masses by taking control of the airwaves.

There should be at least a dozen RP cable access TV shows in every
town and city, in every time slot. If no cable access, then pirate TV
(pirate FM with video).

There should be at least on FM radio station broadcasting RP 24/7,
using GCNlive.com radio network streaming on weekdays, and
RepublicBroadcasting.com streaming on weekends. Wealthy business
owners should be buying these radio stations in every city and town,
then refusing to sell out to Clear Channel and Mitt Romney's $20-
Billion bribe. If no licensed FM is on RP's side 24/7, then pirate
FMs must be filling the breach in every town and city. This is not
optional if we demand freedom.

Same goes for daily newspapers in every town.

Same goes for colleges and high schools, where my website was
included in Political Science 495 - 9/11 The Road to Tyranny - Spring
2005 at North Carolina Wesleyan College. The professor then suffered
a sudden fatal case of cancer. Classes and student clubs and student
govts can promote education in Truth.

This is an INFOWAR. WHAM is the military psyop term for Winning
Hearts And Minds in a warzone, including the current Civil War to
overthrow USA by the White House and shadow global govt. Disinfobabes
can brainwash the sheeple, or infobabes can deprogram the People.

Laziness is one of the 7 Deadly Sins.

My job in US Air Force was sabotage of US military bases, sabotage of
US military aircraft, and sabotage of US nukes, using conventional C4
shaped charges in explosive controlled demolitions. I also worked on
supersonic robot bombers. My USAF base in Britain targeted all our
tactical nukes at WESTERN Europe, not at Communist Europe, including
targeted at US military bases. My wife was personally offered a
bribe, er, job by Secretary of War Dick Cheney at the Pentagon, after
we preferred felony charges against her commanding officers for lying
to Congress and the Inspectors General, resulting in cheney firing
the USAF chief of staff General Mike Dugan, while Dugan was leading
Gulf War #1, before the ground invasion began. Dugan was giving
billions of dollars in NATO weapons to Saddam Hussein and Iraq, per
the illegal orders of the Bush Sr White House during Iran-Contra.
Dozens of Bush Sr White House staff were convicted of felonies during
Iran Contra, so Bush Sr pardoned them, and Bush Jr rehired them.

My family's lawfirm is on the trillion-dollar Dream Team suing the

Our position on Ron Paul (and his supporters)

(Reposted from Jed's blog) - WRITTEN BY JED GILLEN

Ron Paul - Liv Films Official Statement of Position

1) we are genuine Ron Paul supporters and will be voting for him in
both the California Republican primary and, if he makes it that far,
the 2008 general election;

2) we support Ron Paul because we are libertarians (i.e., we would
like more personal freedoms and less government intervention), not
because we are anti-war;

3) we believe that the WTC attacks were perpetrated by Islamic
terrorists, not by our own government;

4) we believe that Hurricane Katrina was caused by a low pressure
system that developed over the Bahamas, not by our own government;

5) there is no mainstream media conspiracy against Ron Paul;

6) Ron Paul's fourth quarter fundraising was impressive, but
elections are decided by counting votes, not dollars; the media is
correct to use polling numbers rather than fundraising totals in
assessing a given candidate's legitimacy;

7) Ron Paul needs mainstream support (i.e., a majority vote) in order
to be elected; we don't get that through endless money bombing or by
spending all day every day talking about Ron Paul to other Ron Paul
supporters on Ron Paul-themed message boards;

8) most people have no interest in being perceived as extremist
wackos; therefore, Ron Paul's chances of mainstream acceptance are
inversely proportional to how wacko and extremist his supporters are
generally seen to be;

9) Ron Paul supporters are currently seen as VERY extremist and wacko;

10) even we are starting to get turned off by the self-righteous and
stupid comments some of them keep posting on our videos;

11) Ron Paul supporters who wrote, or are inclined to write, negative
comments on our Obama Girl video need to lighten up; you have missed
the entire purpose of the video and are just embarrassing yourselves
by endlessly explaining that Ron Paul and Obama aren't really very
similar;

12) the "Ron Paul Girl" is a character that we created for a specific
series of videos; to promote Ron Paul is not the sole-- or even the
primary-- purpose of our lives or of the Liv Films production
company; we believe in the cause, but our main goal is-- and always
has been-- entertainment;

13) if you have no sense of humor, then Liv Films videos are probably
not for you;

14) Ron Paul is the best candidate of the current crop of hopefuls,
but he is not the second (or first, or third) coming of Christ;

15) Ron Paul didn't invent libertarianism; he is simply its most
prominent current adherent;

16) if Ron Paul wins the Presidency, great; if not, it won't be the
end of the world; either way, we have made great strides for
libertarianism;

17) libertarianism has the greatest chance for success if, after the
2008 election, we re-direct our enthusiasm towards local elections
and try to build from the ground up;

18) we have no chance of success if our energy is instead directed at
cannibalizing each other and/or massaging our own egos with long,
endlessly tedious message board posts that no one who is not already
a convert will ever possibly read;

19) Liv Films has produced its last Ron Paul Girl video;

20) we will, however, continue to produce other funny/sexy non-Ron
Paul-related videos that hundreds of thousands of other people have
managed to enjoy; we think that, if you were to give them a chance,
you might enjoy them on their own merits as well.

piratenewsrss

The $60,000 recount in NH is now a done deal, with total news blackout by the national media mafia, which refused to attend the press conference with the NH Secretary of State yesterday. The recount is spun to only include Demorat loser Kucinch, with no mention of Ron Paul's Granny Warriors who are paying for the recount. Serious candidates like Ron Paul cannot be seen to question election results, for tactical reasons, so it was clever to have Albert Howard be a Republican presidential candidate, to give him legal standing to demand a recount.

Sheriff candidate challenges voting machine accuracy in court.

By: Brian Holt, Photographer,
By: Kay Watson, Reporter,
WBIR TV,
1/11/2008.

SEVIERVILLE, TENNESSEE - "We want to use the paper ballot," Brad Lowe , candidate for Sevier County Sheriff said.

VIDEO: HART INTERCIVIC E-SLATE KEEPS NO RECORD OF VOTES

Lowe wants to make sure every vote counts, and on Friday, he argued in court that Sevier County's voting machines can't guarantee that.

He asked the court to require Sevier County to use paper ballots, not machines, because he said the machines are unreliable, and the election commission won't be able to conduct a recount.

A report prepared by the Tennessee Advisory Commission on Intergovernmental Relations (TACIR) did find Direct Recording Electronic (DRE) voting machines "especially vulnerable to tampering and fraud, mainly because most do not physically document individual votes so that they can be independently recounted or audited."

That news comes less than two years after all but two counties in the state switched to similar machines.

"There's no proof of any this," Dennis Francis, attorney for the Sevier County Election Commission said. "There's nothing you can point to, to show these machines have malfunctioned, that they don't accurately reflect the people's vote."

Francis said that while the report raises concerns about the machines, it doesn't ban their use.

He convinced the chancellor to allow the election to continue with the electronic voting machines, instead of the more costly paper ballots.

Lowe disagreed that cost should even play a role in the decision, although he said that was an argument used in court.

"I have a problem with a state employee getting up and saying that this election might cost $50,000 to $75,000 more. So what?" Lowe said. "There's more fraud, waste, and abuse that goes unchecked in Sevier County that's known about, and we could easily pay for that."

State lawmakers are working on a bill that may require a printed paper trail in the future.

But some wonder whether that also jeopardizes democracy.

"Do you want me in a political system to be able to go back and tell how you voted? Is that what you want?" Francis asked.

State lawmakers say the change would cost counties millions. They're waiting for new federal election mandates that may include funding.

"Knox County is paying a convicted drug dealer at least $2,700 a month so the Sheriffs Department can operate its helicopters out of his airstrip, a Knoxville lawyer said in court Friday. But Sheriff Tim Hutchison said Friday evening he didn't know Scott Sheldon WALKER had pleaded guilty to conspiring to possess and distribute marijuana. Walker, 38, of Gatlinburg is set to be sentenced next month in federal court after being caught last year with a load of 300 pounds of marijuana at a Louisiana airport."
�Knoxville News-Sentinel, "Questions arise over sheriff's airstrip - Lawyer says property owned by drug dealer," 05 Jan 2002

"Voting data from 2,625 early voters in the Downtown West precinct is stuck in a machine, Election Chair Greg Mackay said. Technical support from West Intercivic, the machine maker, arrived in Knoxville Wednesday to try and retrieve the data. Election Commissioner Chris Heagerty said the technical workers must transfer four chips containing that data onto a board that works. The tools needed to do that can not be moved the Election Commission. As a result, the faulty machine will head to a laboratory Thursday. Heagerty said members from both political parties will be invited to inspect the process. So will members from the Fraternal Order of Police. Until those 2,625 votes get counted, an amendment to the Knox County Charter giving 700 members of the Knox County Sheriff's Department and option to change their pension plan remains too close to call. Reeves stresses that the votes have not been lost or deleted; the data simply cannot be retrieved from the machine without help from the manufacturer."
�WBIR, "Final Knox County election results are at least a day away," November 8, 2006

"A pension proposal for 700 members of the Knox County Sheriff's Department could cost taxpayers $50 million dollars in the first year of implementation, according to members of the Knox County Pension Board. The Fraternal Order of Police has been working on the proposal for more than a year. It would allow 700 members of the Knox County Sheriff's Department to convert their savings plans from a 401K style program to a pension of 'defined monthly benefits' that deputies would receive upon retirement. Deputies would average out their highest two salaried years. Those over 50 with 25 years under their belt would get 62.5% of that average figure as a pension. With 30 years of experience, the number would be 75% of that averaged salary. The plan is similar to what K.P.D. officers already have. The pension board said there are two ways to pay for the added costs: A property tax increase of $.75 per $100 of assessed property value. That is an increase of 30% Or, a wheel tax increase of $162 dollars, an increase of 550%. Guthe also worries other county workers will want a similar pension plan if the deputy proposal passes ($4.40 per $100 assessed property tax, or $972 WHEEL TAX INCREASE). He said if every county worker went on the F.O.P. pension proposal, the start up costs would top $300 million. Because the plan amends the Knox County Charter, voters will have to OK the pension proposal."
�Dan Farkas, WBIR, "Pension proposal for deputies could cost $50 million," May 19, 2006 (Who stole the billions of dollars in Knox County Govt's CAFR pension funds?)

"If voters approve a new pension plan for county deputies Nov. 7, its formula would give Knox County Sheriff Tim Hutchison at least $81,500 a year for the rest of his life. Deputies asked County Commission to put an item on next week's ballot asking voters to change deputies' pensions from a defined-contribution plan, similar to a 401(k), to a defined-benefit pension. The new plan would give deputies retiring with 30 years of service a pension at 75 percent of their highest two years' salary, plus a 3 percent cost-of-living adjustment annually, said Kim Bennett, executive director of the Knox County Retirement and Pension Board. For Hutchison, who joined the Sheriff's Office in 1975 and was elected sheriff in 1990, that would be $81,500, based on salary figures for this year and last year provided by the county mayor's office. The Sheriff's Office did not respond to a News Sentinel request for the sheriff's current pay rate, but Hutchison earns $110,713 currently and earned $106,722 last year, said Dwight Van de Vate, spokesman for the mayor. Mayor Mike Ragsdale has expressed concern that funding the pension could be costly enough to require cuts in services or a tax increase. To fully fund the pension by its effective date of July 1, 2007, the new plan would cost an estimated $57 million to cover the past service of all 772 officers who would qualify for the pension, Ragsdale's administration has stated. Commissioners wanted voters to understand that the 8 cents could mean an 8-cent hike in the county property tax rate, cuts to other county departments or a combination of the two. Eight cents would equal a 3 percent hike in the county's current property tax rate of $2.69 per $100 assessed value, equivalent to an additional $30 per year on a $150,000 home. A deputy with 25 years of service and an average salary of $35,000 would earn pension benefits of $1,823 a month, or $21,876 a year, under the new plan, Bennett said. If the charter amendment passes, other Knox County employees, who are now under the defined-contribution plan, could seek to come under the new plan, Bennett said. That would entail a lot more money because the county has 1,500 employees." [Knox County Sheriff Dept employees are extorted to pay $15,000 to $25,000 bribes for promotion to Sergeant or Lieutenant.]

Purchase the official election results CD for $100 in your county, and telephone every voter to verify their choice of candidate for president ("exit poll"). (There has never been such a thing as a secret anonymous ballot. Gangsta

Govt ALWAYS knows who you vote for, in order to reward of punish those who've been naughty or nice.)
http://www.realexitpolls.com/vote.htm

Compile a database on CD and on the web, listing all votes that were incorrect.

You can supply affidavits for disgruntled voters to sign by notary, then file an injunction in federal court to shut down your county election commission.

And you can also file felony charges against all election commission employees, by filing an affidavit with the grand jury foreman, judicial commissioner, and/or county judge.

File Press Releases with every news agency.

Videotape your investigation and post online, and broadcast on your local cable access TV.

Fifty states face voting machine lawsuits; "Uncounted" documents DRE issues

By Christine Anne Piesyk, November 13, 2007

Business as usual will not be the norm over the next 48 hours as Secretaries of State in all fifty states will each receive subpoenas in the National Clean Election lawsuit, according to an announcement made Monday night by activist Bernie Ellis at the Belcourt Theatre in Nashville. There is still time, Ellis said, to require a paper trail for the 2008 election.

The announcement was made in a panel discussion following the sold out Nashville premiere of the David Earnhardt film, Uncounted - The Movie, which ended with a standing ovation for its writer/director. The documentary film addressed the issue of voting machine error/failure, the need for a paper trail of votes, the political and business ties between government officials and manufacturers of these DRE (Direct Recording Electronic) voting machines, and the ease of tampering with such machines and "flipping" votes that are electronically counted.

The film also reviewed extensive cases of mechanical errors, lost votes, voters turned away from polls, incomplete ballots and the installation of uncertified software into voting machine reported from across the nation.

"The lawsuit aims to establish that all computer systems (or other systems) which hide the ballots from the people for even a short period of time before the count is accomplished and the results are posted � are unconstitutional�

"The lawsuit argues persuasively � that the use of computer and machine election systems violate each citizen's right to vote, as defined at least twice by the Supreme Court of the United States. "

� Jim Condit Jr., NetworkAmerica

The lawsuit is aimed at prohibiting the use of all types of vote counting machines, and requiring hand-counting of all primary and general election ballots in full view of the public. The lawsuit has raised significant constitutional questions challenging the generally accepted practices of state election officials of relying on "black box" voting machines to record and count the votes at each polling station, and allow tallying of votes by election officials outside the view of the general public. In many cases, states have officially authorized voting "systems" that leave virtually no paper trail from which to audit the vote. [We The People Foundation].

Ellis said that regardless of what voters are being told, there is still time to pass legislation that would mandate voter verifiable paper ballots in 2008. The Tennessee Voter Confidence Act of 2007 [Senate Bill 1363/House Bill 1256], sponsored by Senator Joe Haynes and Rep. Gary Moore, mandates a paper trail.

"Today in Tennessee, 93 of our 95 counties use nonverifiable, paperless touch-screen voting machines . In 2006, over one in every six Tennessee counties reported problems with this equipment. Our state is not alone, but (sadly) it is now one of the worst states for voting security and accountability in this nation." � Bernie Ellis

What began as lawsuits in ten keys states including Iowa, Ohio, New York and Florida has burgeoned into a nationwide effort. Earnhardt's film, which was ignored by corporate media during this world premiere, exposes the vulnerability in current technology of voting machines, or at least, the lack of oversight in acquiring and using them without hacking, flipping or under/overcounting votes, and other problems. Earnhardt asked why, when it is so easy to get a printed receipt from anything from an ATM machine to the drive-through register at a Krispy Kreme, it should be so difficult to get a verifiable voting machine receipt.

The lawsuit seeks an Order from the Court prohibiting the use of all voting machines and to force election officials to instead utilize paper ballots and to count and total all votes by hand, always in full view of the public. Plaintiffs from all fifty states have signed on to the lawsuit.

In the question and answer period following the screening, an Iraq veteran said he had pledged to protect his country "from all enemies foreign and domestic" and viewed the issues of voting machines as a domestic threat to voters across the country.

Hart InterCivic Whistleblower Warned of Texas, Ohio E-Voting 'Fraud' Concerns in 2004!

By Brad Friedman, The Brad Blog, http://BradBlog.com

March 13, 2006

100,000+ Votes Were Errantly Added by Hart Machines in a Single County in Last Tuesday's Primary via Flawed, Paperless 'eSlate' Touch-Screen System!

Former Hart Employee, Tarrant County TX Election Worker Notified State, Legal Authorities in 2004 About Serious Voting Machine Problems, Procedures...All Warnings and Complaints Ignored

Election Officials in Tarrant claim they didn't look into the problems on Election Night as the problem emerged because, as reported by the Star-Telegram last week, "they were dealing with a new system, new procedures and some new equipment."

The BRAD BLOG can now report, however, that according to a Hart InterCivic company whistleblower -- who also happened to have later worked as an "election programmer" in Tarrant County -- the problems with Hart InterCivic's systems in Tarrant County, Texas and elsewhere are not new at all. Not by a longhorn long shot.

Letters sent by William Singer of Fort Worth, a former Hart InterCivic "technical specialist" and Tarrant County election worker, to state officials back in July of 2004 warned of exactly such problems. The letters, obtained and published here for the first time exclusively by The BRAD BLOG, reveal that serious problems and concerns of possible election system meltdowns were already apparent with the Hart machines in Tarrant County long ago. However, the warning letters were all but ignored by both election officials and even state law enforcement officials.

The "glitch" in last Tuesday's primary, as reported the Star-Telegram, "caused Tarrant County to report as many as 100,000 votes in both primaries that never were cast." After the problem was discovered, they report, "the local turnout [dropped] from a possible record high of about 158,103 voters to about 58,000."

A review of several notarized letters sent by Singer to officials in both Texas and Ohio in 2004 warned of fraudulent activities, buggy software and hardware, dysfunctional testing and development procedures, unsecured working environments and possible criminal behavior by both Hart InterCivic and Election Workers in both states.

Some Voting Machines Chop Off Candidates' Names

Computer Glitch Affects Voters in 3 Jurisdictions; Error Cannot Be Fixed by Nov. 7

By Leef Smith
Washington Post Staff Writer
Tuesday, October 24, 2006; B04

U.S. Senate candidate James Webb's last name has been cut off on part of the electronic ballot used by voters in Alexandria, Falls Church and Charlottesville because of a computer glitch that also affects other candidates with long names, city officials said yesterday.

Jean Jensen, secretary of the Virginia State Board of Elections, who said yesterday she only recently became aware of the problem, pledged to have it fixed by the 2007 statewide elections.

"You better believe it," Jensen said. "If I have to personally get on a plane and bring Hart InterCivic people here myself, it'll be corrected."

Absentee voters casting ballots in advance of the Nov. 7 election first noticed the problem. Election officials have been forced to post signs in voting booths and instruct poll workers to explain why some longer names appear cut-off.

Election officials in Alexandria said they have been vexed by the problem since they purchased the voting machines in 2003.

This is not the kind of problem that has either shaken our confidence in the system overall or that of the vote," said Alexandria Registrar Tom Parkins. "There have been far worse problems around the country."

James T. "Jim" Hurysz, an independent candidate who's running to unseat incumbent Rep. James P. Moran Jr. (D-Va.), sees it somewhat differently. His name has been shortened on the summary page to "James T. 'Jim.' "

Moran is the one lucky James in Alexandria whose last name made the summary page, although without the "Jr."

"That situation is not acceptable," Hurysz said. "There's enough voter confusion as it is."

Ready -Set - Vote Fraud from Hart-Intercivic/ ES&S

by DAVID ALLEN, http://BLACKBOXVOTING.COM

Another electronic voting company insider has blown the whistle on "irregularities" at Hart-Intercivic and ES&S forthe Secretaries of State of Ohio and Texas. These letters detail a "long history of concealing problems" and a willingness to ignore potentially serious problems "largely for the sake of corporate profit".

I have come into possession of a pair of letters written by a former Hart-Intercivic technician to the Secretaries

When I read these letters, I contacted the writer to verify his story and authorship. The technician verified that he was the author and that the letters had been sent, but did not wish to have his name revealed as he had sent the letters privately to the two state Secretaries. He did not object to the details of the letters being revealed as he was concerned about whether the matter had been or would be addressed.

These letters were written the end of July and I held off until now in order to give the relevant states the opportunity to do the right thing and investigate these charges.

The writer has never been contacted and I must assume that election officials in Texas and Ohio just don't care.

The tech worked for H-I for over two years and left voluntarily because of what he believed to be "criminal fraud, extreme negligence, and a distinct and troubling pattern of failure to uphold the public trust both in violations of the spirit of its contracts [and] also in concealing problems in an industry which so crucially represents the public interest."

The technician addressed problems in Ohio, which he saw while working for H-I, and problems in Tarrant County, Texas, which is where he went to work after leaving H-I.

In Ohio, he is concerned with three main problems:

Fraudulent Acts

* The computer submitted for security testing in Ohio was not the same as the computers being actually used in the field. EVM vendors are supposed to provide "production models" of their units so that they can be evaluated by both InfoSentry and Compuware (the vendors hired by the state to evaluate the voting machines).

Fraudulent Claims

* H-I's eSlate is billed as storing vote data randomly, so as to prevent specific votes from being traced to specific people. The tech says that this is not true and that simple remedial measures which could have addressed this flaw never made.

* H-I claimed to InfoSentry that it had an "ongoing information security awareness program" which it did not.

* H-I claimed to InfoSentry that it maintained numerous documents on information security systems policy for its employees. Our tech was never able to read any of these documents or even find proof of their existance.

* H-I told the Ohio SoS that election results are not transmitted over public networks, which is not true as unofficial results were transmitted this way. A computer hooked to a public network (like the Internet) is a system vulnerable to outside attack.

Misleading Conduct

* Compuware claimed that safeguards were in place to prevent H-I computers from crashing. One would assume that such a claim was based upon information supplied by H-I. Our source says that systems crashed still occurred and that the causes were seldom revealed to the customers.

* Compuware report claims that storage cards containing vote data cannot be altered using the Windows File System. While true, there are still many other easily procured tools which CAN be used to alter the data.

* Compuware claims that error and audit entries are tracked. This is misleading because only SOME entries are tracked, not ALL.

Since Compuware was supposed to audit H-I software we are left to wonder about these misleading claims. Either Compuware failed to look closely at the system or they simply accepted claims from H-I without question.

Something Rotten in Texas

After leaving H-I, our tech took a job with the Office of the Tarrant County Elections Administrator, which had equipment from Hart-Intercivic and ES&S.

Once there, he discovered more of the same problems he had found at H-I in Ohio, along with shenanigans from repeat offender, ES&S.

What makes the situation scarier is the report of "shockingly inappropriate management decisions", "unethical decisions and erratic behavior" by Robert Parten, the Election Administrator.

According to our insider, Parten displayed a "blatant disregard for election law" and a "poor understanding of and interference with important technical aspects of the election systems".

Problems observed

* Invalid entries in the audit trail generated by H-I's election generation software. These problems could have been corrected, but Parten refused to allow the correction, meaning that any audit of the voting system would be immediately questioned due to the invalid entries.

* Public tests of the voting system were conducted improperly. When problems arose during the tests, they were corrected by altering the election database, which should have required a repeat of the public test, which was not done.

* Individuals required to be present to validate testing were not present for some or all of the tests.

* H-I sold equipment to the (card readers) to the county claiming that it was faster and would prevent corruption problems with ballot cards. In fact, internal testing showed that it did neither and seems to have been sold only to fatten H-I's bottom line.

* H-I sent a poorly trained tech in to do contract support work, which then had to be corrcted by staff techs.

H-I knew that despite its claims of "triple-redundant vote storage", problems occurred that still resulted in lost votes. Tarrant County was never told this until the problems appeared in elections. H-I then said it could recover lost votes, but that the units had to be shipped to Colorado to facilitate the repair. This was utter nonsense and the real reason was to keep the process for recovering votes secret. At this point, H-I would also reveal that the process didn't always work.

* ES&S persuaded other counties, and pressured Tarrant Co. to go along with a plan to force approval by the Texas SoS of uncertified software patches. The idea was to get enough counties asking for the patch (with the implied threat that the machines would not function correctly come election day) that the SoS would feel compelled to approve the request. This operation was personally conducted by ES&S vice president Tom Eschberger (the same Tom Eschberger who took an immunity deal for his involvement in a bribery/kickback scandal in Arkansas).

* Sensitive computers engaged in vote tabulation were left unprotected because Parten prohibited the assignment of passwords to them, claiming such changes a violation of election law.

* Sensitive computers, documentation, memory cards, and software media were not properly secured or kept track of.

* Anti-tampering devices were used improperly or not at all.

* County IT techs would routinely work on election computers, installing anti-virus software which caused the machines to crash due to incompatability with election software. Remote control software was installed on a computer containing sensitive election information.

* Tarrant county failed to perform regular and routine backups of their computers.

* H-I performed fixes of "on the fly" reports during elections, even while results were coming in.

In summing up his concerns, the tech reports being baffled by Parten's "continued work with these election companies; even after admissions of concealing software problems, inappropriate pressure, hints of backroom deals, and poor support."

I asked him further about "backroom deals" and he replied:

Both vendors would hint at discounts, extra support that might be available, ES&S drastically cut their price on a software upgrade, the one I mentioned for the FEB[ruary] election, to try to entice Tarrant to upgrade further. Nothing dramatic while I was there, but the staff reported, and other people I've worked with as a Hart employee have reported that vendors have either made or suggested things that were inappropriate, or they had heard things and had reason to believe them. I cannot be more specific here, let's just say I know for a fact it was happening in the industry, though I don't know that Hart did anything like that in any specific situation.

As you know, ES&S has repeatedly been investigated for bribery. In a competitive market, when a company like Hart loses a deal unexpectedly, let's just say you hear things. If you want some concrete example of inappropriate influence, an obvious one, look to Diebold offering to put offices in counties that bought their product. It's happened more than once.

Once again, here is a prime example of why our vote should not be in the hands of private contractors. When you mix greedy and unethical vendors with clueless or "pliable" public servants, you get a concoction toxic to democracy.

Texans and Ohioans, you need to get on the phone with your Secretaries of State and find out what they are doing about this problem.

There was no health inspection certificate, wine bottles/diapers/vomit in the parking lot. When she was told that she scored a 93% on a management test ("the highest score in history") but that 94% was the "failing score" for all tests, she resigned under threat of termination. This was a national restaurant chain on Kingston Pike in Knoxville. She has been general manager of several restaurants, including on Kingston Pike, and held the highest possible enlisted job position in US Air Force food service squadron over several dining facilities and officer's club, before she retired (then VA stole her pension as perped against 95% of disabled retired vets). She has excellent references (Bill Regas) and a resume 3-inches thick.

She appears to be victim of a secret database that corporate employers use to blacklist her, based on Social Security number checking federal court records, etc, which we have no way of checking or correcting. She has never been arrested or charged with a crime, but was fired by the world's largest restaurant corp in retaliation for filing an EEOC complaint with State of TN, for retaliation as a witness in a federal civil case (both cases settled out of court).

Wesley Snipes to Go on Trial in Tax Case

By DAVID CAY JOHNSTON,

NY TIMES,

January 14, 2008.

Peter Cosgrove / AP File Photo

Actor Wesley Snipes with his press assistant Judy Smith in December 2006. The 45-year-old action star is set to go on trial Monday, Jan. 14, 2008, on tax fraud and conspiracy charges.

From 1999 to 2004, the actor Wesley Snipes earned $38 million appearing in more than half a dozen movies, including two sequels to his popular vampire thriller "Blade."

The taxes he paid in the same period? Zero.

But unlike other celebrities who find themselves on the wrong side of the Internal Revenue Service, Mr. Snipes has a flamboyant explanation: he argues that he is not actually required to pay taxes.

Mr. Snipes, who is scheduled to go on trial Monday in Ocala, Fla., has become an unlikely public face for the antitax movement, whose members maintain that Americans are not obligated to pay income taxes and that the government extracts taxes from its citizens illegally.

His trial has become the most prominent income tax prosecution since the 1989 conviction of the billionaire New York hotelier, Leona Helmsley, who went to prison for improperly billing personal expenses to her business.

Tax deniers maintain that the law only appears to require payment of taxes. All their theories have been rejected by the courts, including the one invoked by Mr. Snipes, which is known as the 861 position, after a section of the federal tax code.

Adherents say a regulation applying the 861 provision does not list wages as taxable, though it does say that "compensation for services" is taxable. The courts have uniformly rejected all such theories, and eight people have been sentenced to prison after not paying taxes based on the 861 argument.

Despite the court rulings, juries have acquitted some prominent tax resisters in recent years, and failed prosecutions have encouraged others to join. Even when the government has failed to obtain convictions, it succeeded in collecting the taxes through civil enforcement.

J. J. MacNab, a Maryland insurance analyst who tracks people who deny they owe taxes and has testified before Congress about the movement, said that an acquittal of Mr. Snipes would be a severe setback for the I.R.S.

"He will get more press and attention than any other victory by the tax deniers, and the growth in new members will be exponential," she said.

Mr. Snipes, 45, is charged with two felonies: conspiracy to defraud the government and filing a false claim for a $7 million refund (a claim for the year 1997, before he stopped paying taxes). He is also charged with failing to file tax returns for the six years starting in 1999. Prosecutors say they intend to show that Mr. Snipes moved tens of millions of untaxed dollars offshore and gave the government three worthless checks totaling $14 million to cover some taxes.

In court papers and interviews, Mr. Snipes says that he is not guilty and that he acted on the advice of two tax professionals. They are being tried alongside him and are promoters of the 861 position and other tax theories.

One is Douglas Rosile, who was stripped of his accounting license in 1997. The other is Eddie Kahn, who has served prison time for tax crimes. Both are under federal court order to stop promoting tax evasion, including the 861 position.

The lawyer representing Mr. Snipes at trial is Robert Bernhoft of Milwaukee, who has been barred by court order since 1999 from selling a program under which he said people could legally stop paying income taxes.

Mr. Snipes, who grew up in the Bronx, is best known for tough-guy roles in movies like "Blade," "U.S. Marshals," and "The Passenger," but he also starred in films by Spike Lee ("Jungle Fever," "Mo' Better Blues") and Ron Shelton ("White Men Can't Jump").

His involvement with the tax resistance movement may stem from his association with the Nuwaubians, a quasi-religious sect of black Americans who promote antigovernment theories and who set up a headquarters in Georgia in the early 1990s.

In 2000, Mr. Snipes sought a federal permit for a military training compound on land next to the Nuwaubian camp; the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms rejected the request.

"Snipes is already drawing whole new demographics to the movement," Ms. MacNab added. "Tax protesters used to be white, 50 or older, blue-collar, rural and often connected to racist movements, but Snipes is young, urban and famous."

She and others said the movement got a boost in 2005 when a jury acquitted Joseph Banister, a former criminal investigator for the I.R.S., who used his acquittal as proof that his views on the tax law were correct. One problem with that case was that even though his co-defendant, Al Thompson of Lake Shasta, Calif., was acquitted of conspiracy in a separate trial, Mr. Thompson is serving six years in prison for failing to withhold taxes from his employees and turn the money over.

Federal prosecutors also failed to convict a Louisiana lawyer, Tom Cryer, who, like Mr. Snipes, said he sincerely believed that he was not required to pay taxes. Another resister, Robert Lawrence of Peoria, Ill., had his case dropped in 2006 after arguing that tax forms violate the federal Paperwork Reduction Act � a strategy that had been falling out of favor among tax opponents but has since gained new adherents. Both men were still liable for the taxes after their cases.

Prosecutors also failed to convict a FedEx pilot, Vernice Kuglin of Memphis, who said she wrote the I.R.S. asking what law makes her liable for taxes, but got no response. She later signed papers conceding she owed more than $600,000 in taxes, and last week her goods, including her 14-year-old vehicle, were auctioned in Memphis. Ms. Kuglin said that despite the court filing, she continues to believe that she does not owe taxes.

Tax specialists and lawyers say that the Snipes case hinges on whether he can persuade jurors that he sincerely believed that he did not have to pay taxes, while prosecutors will argue that he was just trying to avoid them. The Supreme Court has ruled that people can make such an argument, but two leading defense lawyers said that Mr. Snipes might have a hard time using it as a defense.

Michael Louis Minns, a Houston lawyer who has defended and won acquittals for tax protesters, said that the three bad checks that Mr. Snipes sent the government to cover $14 million of taxes would seem to destroy a defense based on that argument.

"You can win acquittal with a good-faith defense that you sincerely believed you do not have to pay taxes," Mr. Minns said. "But not if you make inconsistent claims."

William Cohan, a lawyer in Rancho Santa Fe, Calif., who also represents tax opponents, said another hurdle is the refund claim form signed by Mr. Snipes. The signature statement, or jurat, was altered so that instead of saying it was signed under penalty of perjury, the word "no" was inserted before "penalty."

"That's just devastating because if you sincerely believe you are not required to pay taxes, why would you alter the jurat?" Mr. Cohan said.

FedEx pilot Vernice Kuglin wins tax case

A federal jury Friday found FedEx pilot Vernice Kuglin not guilty of evading income taxes on $920,000. The question of tax payment was unresolved at the end of the five-day trial. "I think it is safe to assume the IRS will attempt civil collection, but she is not guilty of tax evasion," said defense attorney Robert Bernhoft of Milwaukee. "I feel justified," a grinning Kuglin said after the verdict was returned at mid--afternoon. She stood outside the federal building, chatting with supporters and jurors. Federal prosecutor Joe Murphy was not available for comment. Kuglin, 58, was charged with six counts of tax evasion that could have meant up to 30 years in prison and $1.5 million in fines. The government accused Kuglin of filing false W4 forms for the period from 1996 to 2001. Kuglin, a pilot for FedEx since 1985, said she had paid taxes like anyone else for most of her life. But about 10 or 11 years ago, she began to question the federal tax system. She began to read court documents, legal opinions and the federal tax code. She said she found what she felt were contradictions. She wanted to know where in the federal tax code it said she was liable for taxes. Kuglin wrote the Internal Revenue Service twice in 1995 with questions but said she didn't get a response. Murphy, in closing arguments on Thursday, said Kuglin did have an opportunity to discuss her situation with the IRS, to learn what she owed and what documents she was required to file "and she didn't." Defense attorney Larry Becraft of Huntsville, Ala., said Kuglin decided mandatory payment of income taxes "did not apply to her." After the verdict Friday, Becraft said the federal tax code is a confusing conglomeration that "at best is a walking due process violation." He said the average American simply doesn't understand the tax code. Juror Barbara Snodgras of Memphis said the jury did not convict because "we all felt that the prosecution didn't prove its case." When asked if she planned to start paying federal income taxes again, Kuglin replied: "I will pay all the taxes for which I am liable." Robert G.

DOJ dismisses felony tax prosecution With Prejudice after PRA defense Raised

On May 12, 2006 in Peoria, Illinois, the attorney for the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) begged the court to dismiss all charges against IRS victim Robert Lawrence in federal District Court. On May 10, Stilley mailed a set of documents to the DOJ in response to DOJ's discovery demands. The documents revealed to DOJ for the first time that Lawrence was basing his entire defense on an act of Congress, 44 U.S.C. 3500 � 3520, also known as the "Paperwork Reduction Act" (PRA).

IRS agent Sherry Jackson proves IRS Income Tax is voluntary - Braindead jury demands robbery by Gangsta Govt

According to her attorneys Larry Beecraft and Tom Cryer, the jury of govt employees was brainwashed by 3 govt employed witnesses who perjured themselves on the witness stand. Only 3 preemptions were allowed for the defense during jury voir dire, but the jury was stacked with govt employees at risk of retaliation if vote against their employer. Polling of the jury may prove interesting. Sherry Jackson's fatal mistake was not tape recording all conversations with govt employees, in order to prove perjury of witnesses. The US prosecutors failed to enter any evidence of any law that requires payment of income taxes. Uncle Scam's entire case was based on 3 govt employees who falsely testified that they never spoke to their friend and co-worker Sherry Jackson. One more reason why it's critical to learn the art of pro se legal self defense in traffic court.

IRS loses challenge to prove tax liability

The Internal Revenue Service has lost a lawyer's challenge in front of a jury to prove a constitutional foundation for the nation's income tax, and the victorious attorney now is setting his sights higher. "I think now people are beginning to realize that this has got to be the largest fraud, backed up by intimidation and extortion and by the sheer force of taking peoples property and hard-earned money without any lawful authorization whatsoever," lawyer Tom Cryer told WND just days after a jury in Louisiana acquitted him of two criminal tax counts.

A federal jury unanimously found Tommy Cryer not guilty this week on two misdemeanor counts of failure to file. And according to Cryer, the prosecution dismissed two felony charges of tax evasion prior to trial. Attempts by The Times on Thursday to reach U.S. Attorney Donald Washington or Bill Flanagan, first assistant U.S. attorney, were not successful. Calls made to the two were not immediately returned. "The court could not find a law that makes me liable or makes my revenues taxable," Cryer said. "The Supreme Court has ruled that the government cannot impose an income tax on anything but the profits and gains. When you work for someone you give your service and labor in exchange for money, so everything you make is not profit or gain. You put something into it." Cryer was indicted last year on two counts of tax evasion. The indictment alleged he evaded payment of $73,000 in income tax to the Internal Revenue Service during 2000 and 2001. Cryer created a trust listing himself as the trustee, and received payments of dividends, interest and stock income to that trust, according to the indictment. He also was accused of concealing his receipt of the sources of income from the IRS by failing to file a tax return on behalf of that trust. "I determined that my personal earnings were not 100 percent profits, some were income," Cryer said. "I refuse to file, I refuse to pay unless they can show me I have a lawful reason to pay." "What I earned was my own personal labor. I am giving something in exchange. I'm giving my property and I don't belong to anyone else." Cryer says he stopped filing returns more than 10 years ago after he investigated claims that income tax was a sham. He contends the law doesn't actually tax personal earning. July 13, 2007

U.S. Supreme Court orders Income Tax does not apply to wages

The judges of the U.S. Supreme Court rejected any claims that the 16th Amendment changed the constitutional limits on direct taxes in Brushaber v. Union Pacific R.R. Co., 240 U.S. 1, when they ruled that it "created no new power of taxation" and that it "did not change the constitutional limitations which forbid any direct taxation of individuals". 16th Amendment was never ratified by the States. Legal memorandum in U.S. District Court by Tommy K. Cryer attorney at law

===================================

The Law That Never Was

The authority of the federal government to collect its income tax depends upon the 16th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, the federal income tax amendment, which was allegedly ratified in 1913. After a year of extensive research, Bill Benson discovered that the 16th Amendment was not ratified by the required 3/4 of the states, but nevertheless Secretary of State Philander Knox fraudulently announced ratification.

The Law That Never Was

The Sixteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States was never ratified by a majority of the sovereign States. This is the Amendment that allegedly entitled the Federal Agent (government) in the federal territory of Washington, D.C. and their private collection company, the IRS, to collect "income tax" was falsely declared to be ratified in February 1913 by Secretary of State Philander Knox.

Former lawmaker charged in terrorism case

CNN

WASHINGTON (AP) -- A former congressman and delegate to the United
Nations was indicted Wednesday as part of a terrorist fundraising
ring that allegedly sent more than $130,000 to an al Qaeda and
Taliban supporter who has threatened U.S. and international troops in
Afghanistan.

The former Republican congressman from Michigan, Mark Deli Siljander,
was charged with money laundering, conspiracy and obstructing justice
for allegedly lying about lobbying senators on behalf of an Islamic
charity that authorities said was secretly sending funds to
terrorists.

A 42-count indictment, unsealed in U.S. District Court in Kansas
City, Missouri, accuses the Islamic American Relief Agency of paying
Siljander $50,000 for the lobbying -- money that turned out to be
stolen from the U.S. Agency for International Development.

Siljander, who served two terms in the U.S. House of Representatives,
was appointed by President Reagan to serve as a U.S. delegate to the
United Nations for one year in 1987.

After spending nearly 25 years in Washington, DC power circles and
traveling to 120 countries, I have learned that forging coalitions
through a vast network of high-level international contacts can get
things done. �gPower politics�h is the art of accomplishing the
impossible through a winning strategy by using a team of highly
placed professionals.

GSI was formed with that principal as the foundation, to serve
domestic and international clients effectively and successfully.

My own grandfather came to America with only $14.00 in his pocket and
unable to speak English. Like other immigrants before and since, he
overcame the obstacles before him and pursued an idea, a vision. He
invented the mechanical pencil, successfully marketed his idea and it
remains a tool still used throughout the world today. He used the
advantage that his arrival in America offered him to build a better
tomorrow for his children and grandchildren.

It is the philosophy of GSI to harness that �gspirit�h of hard work,
creativity, and a positive attitude so that we can solve challenges
with our clients, not just for them.

Banner Headline: Ellsberg ties FBI to King shooting.

By JOHN MOULTON, Knoxville News-Sentinel, Nov 12, 1978.

MEMPHIS --A notarized statement by Daniel Ellsberg, released to The
News-Sentinel Saturday night by James Earl Ray's attorney, Mark Lane,
states flatly that an aide to UN Ambassador Andrew Young told
Ellsberg, "We know there was a conspiracy (to kill Dr. Martin Luther
King) and we know who did it."

Ellsberg's affidavit claims he was told there was definitely FBI
involvement in the murder.

Lane said the 44-page affidavit by Ellsberg, who gained worldwide
attention by leaking the now-famed Pentagon Papers secrets, will be
one of the chief pieces of evidence used in seeking a new trial for
Ray.

The completed text of the affidavit was signed and notarized in San
Francisco Oct. 20.

In the statement, Ellsberg tells of a conversation he had with ,y~on
Brady, the young aide, in June. I-M .said Tyson tokl Brady the
conspiratms included a group of off-duty and retired FBI officers
w0rking under the directin of J. Edgar Hoover, who was head of the,
FBI in 19 when Dr. King was shot to death m Memphis.

Ellsberg's statement says that Tyson told him it is believed that the
group had a "sharp-shooter who actually did the shooting. To hear
this presentation, as an absolute fact from someone in the U.S.
government was startling.

Lane also had a statement he said was made by Rev. James Lawson, a
Los Angeles minister who married James Earl Ray and Knoxville free-
lance artist Anna Sandhu last month. Ray is serving a 99year prison
sentence for the slaying of Dr. King. However, the statement was 'not
signed by Rev. Lawson. Lane said Lawson is sending him a similar,
notorized statement.

The affidavit from Ellsberg said that Tyson claimed to have knowledge
of the King murder through conversations with Rep. Walter
Fauntroy, 'chairman of the House Assassination~ Committee. He said
told him investigators believe they the names.

Ellesberg was reported to be in Colorado Saturday night and could not
be for comment. Ellesberg said he assumed the information would come
out at U.S. House Select Committee on Assassinations hearings on Dr.
King's shooting, and that when it didn't he approached Lane.

In another development Saturday night, Michael Eberhardt, the house
committee's assistant chief deputy counsel, resigned to show his
dissatisfaction with the panel'a decision not to recall Ray.

Lane also said he will have additional affidavits soon, including one
in which Rep. Fauntroy contends he was approached by CIA agents, who
told him they would help provide him information about the FBI
involvement in the King death if Rep. Fauntroy would promise not to
delve into the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

Tyson, reached at his New York City residence, said, "I will deny
under oath that I said I knew who did It."

He said he was speculatingwtth Ellsberg on who might have killed King
and expressed his personal theory that the FBI conducted the
assassination.

He said he has had a "couple of conversations with Walter (Fauntroy)"
about the House assassination investigation. However, he said nothing
specific was discussed.

He said he has heard that Fauntray's life has been threatened, but
did not gain the information from Fauntroy. He said that he and
others believe that the possible FBI involvement in King's death
needs further investigation.

Jewish FBI hitman confesses sanctioned murders in autobiography

"As a member of the FBI execution squad, and of the OSS before that,
I was a professional killer. I dealt with both sides, the government
and the Families, La Familia, or The Good People, put aside all their
differences with Uncle Sam, and even local authorities. That was the
type of alliance J. Edgar Hoover had with the Familes. We used the
ways of evil. First of all, I'm Jewish. I made my bones for the
Luchese Family in 1944, just before I went into the Navy. They were
holding a rat in the drunk tank at the Lower East Side precinct
house. The cops tossed me in the lockup with the rest of the drunks,
then slipped a knife into my pocket. Then I cut him. They let me out
of the lockup, packed me in a [patrol] car, and we [the cops] ditched
the knife in the East River. I went down to Atlanta for Mr. Hoover to
turn up informants who'd testify against the Ku Klux Klan. I had to
join them, fight along side them, carry a baseball bat and bust
windows in Baptist churches and synagogues. The most lucrative work I
had was for the boys in the Fortune 500 who wanted jobs done but
couldn't get the police to do them. The real news never hits the Wall
Street Journal. I could pretend I was a homicide dick when I was
really going over the police intelligence files to make secret hits
for Mr. Hoover. 'Jews are damn smart people, Little Mike,' Brannel
said. 'They control everything. Lot's of hebes look like decent white
people. That's what makes 'em so dangerous.' 'There's only one thing
worse than a nigger,' I said. 'And that's a goddamn fucking Jew! And
what do you call a Jew fag? A fuckin' Jew cocksucker,' I said. The
Big Man was dead serious: 'Mister, you sure can throw shit. Even I
can tell that's pure shit, hot and smokin' right out of the goddamn
bull. I'd swear you're a Jew rat sent down here from the government.
You're gonna use your hands on somebody and I'm gonna watch.' The car
stopped across the street from Temple Israel. I began to pray to
myself. I knew God was watching me. We got out of the car and broke
into the temple. There was the torah right in front of me. I wanted
to kiss it like I was taught to do. I remembered how the rabbi loved
the torah. I remembered how my father and brother carried it through
the synagogoue. I had learned to read it and revere it. And now I was
spitting on their graves. I could hear the Kol Nidra chant as I was
committing the gravest of sins. Ray took the silver crowns and
carried them away as booty. 'What's going on?' the rabbatical student
demanded. 'I'm calling the police,' Cooper said. 'Get him Mike', the
Big Man said. I knew this was my test, How could I hurt a rabbi? How
could I have gone this far? I caught Mark Cooper by the neck and spun
him down the stairs. I jumped on him and gave him a few sharp jabs to
his ribs. Then I gave him a sharp rabbit punch to the back of his
neck. I threw a hard right to Cooper's stomach, and then a left to
his jaw. Then I put more body shots to his ribs. As he dropped to his
knees I heard him chanting Kaddish, our prayor for the dead. I threw
a right straight to his jaw. Cooper's head snapped out of the Big
Man's hands and he flipped over backwards. He lay there
unconscious. 'That's only a warning, Jew Boy,' he said to the rabbi.
We got into the station wagon and drove off. I just kept asking God
for forgiveness in the same breath I cursed J. Edgar Hoover. By the
time we reached the temple in Westgate, they had set up a huge cross
and set it aflame. Soon the giant windows in the sanctuary began to
shatter and it was Kristallnacht all over again. Only this time, I
was throwing the bricks and cursing the name of the God of my
fathers. To my astonishment, the police just stood there. I tossed a
torch through the open window of a police car. Nobody saw me do it,
even the asshole cop standing in front of it and screaming, 'Jew,
Jew, Jew!' Then the whole police car exploded. Hoover of the FBI had
a message for me. My assignment in Atlanta was finished. I was proud
of what I did. So what if I was a hitter? I saw what the cops were
doing, and the FBI, CIA, and plenty of other government agencies with
lots of lettrs that really stand for 'Blow their brains out and don't
tell nobody.' I'll tell you something about the law and what it means
to be inside it and outside of it. I was both at the same time and
you can't tell one from the other. Because law is made by the lawyers
for lawyers. It ain't made for people. When you wanna take something
that's outside the law and bring it inside the law, you simply change
the law. They did the same thing with the numbers racket, and called
it a 'lottery'. The Old Man was crazed over an appellate judge out in
Kansas. Knew he was bought and paid for. The judge had a real weak
spot for little girls, buying and selling them like commodities
futures. The local cops couldn't touch him. LBJ threw up his hands
and told the Old Man the judge would be in office for 'the rest of
his life', then winked. That was all the Old Man needed. They sent me
down to do the hit. I gave this Kansas judge hs money's worth. Gun
goes right in his mouth and ba-da-boom: the judge's brains are all
over the cleaning locker. What a mess. I was an artist. When a guy
got hit, he knew he was getting a hit. That's why they call it a hit."

OPERATION NORTHWOODS

Friendly Fire: US military wanted to provoke war with Cuba

U.S. Military Drafted Plans to Terrorize U.S. Cities to Provoke War
With Cuba

By David Ruppe
May 1, 2001

In the early 1960s, America's top military leaders reportedly drafted
plans to kill innocent people and commit acts of terrorism in U.S.
cities to create public support for a war against Cuba.

Code named Operation NORTHWOODS, the plans reportedly included the
possible assassination of Cuban �migr�s, sinking boats of Cuban
refugees on the high seas, hijacking planes, blowing up a U.S. ship,
and even orchestrating violent terrorism in U.S. cities. The plans
were developed as ways to trick the American public and the
international community into supporting a war to oust Cuba's then new
leader, communist Fidel Castro.

America's top military brass even contemplated causing U.S. military
casualties, writing: "We could blow up a U.S. ship in Guantanamo Bay
and blame Cuba," and, "casualty lists in U.S. newspapers would cause
a helpful wave of national indignation."

Details of the plans are described in Body of Secrets (Doubleday), a
new book by investigative reporter James Bamford about the history of
America's largest spy agency, the National Security Agency. However,
the plans were not connected to the agency, he notes.

The plans had the written approval of all of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff and were presented to President Kennedy's defense secretary,
Robert McNamara, in March 1962. But they apparently were rejected by
the civilian leadership and have gone undisclosed for nearly 40 years.

"These were Joint Chiefs of Staff documents. The reason these were
held secret for so long is the Joint Chiefs never wanted to give
these up because they were so embarrassing," James Bamford told
ABCNEWS.com.

"The whole point of a democracy is to have leaders responding to the
public will, and here this is the complete reverse, the military
trying to trick the American people into a war that they want but
that nobody else wants."

Gunning for War

The documents show "the Joint Chiefs of Staff drew up and approved
plans for what may be the most corrupt plan ever created by the U.S.
government," writes Bamford.

The Joint Chiefs even proposed using the potential death of astronaut
John Glenn during the first attempt to put an American into orbit as
a false pretext for war with Cuba, the documents show.

Should the rocket explode and kill Glenn, they wrote, "the objective
is to provide irrevocable proof � that the fault lies with the
Communists et all Cuba [sic]."

The plans were motivated by an intense desire among senior military
leaders to depose Castro, who seized power in 1959 to become the
first communist leader in the Western Hemisphere � only 90 miles from
U.S. shores.

The earlier CIA-backed Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba by Cuban exiles
had been a disastrous failure, in which the military was not allowed
to provide firepower. The military leaders now wanted a shot at it.

"The whole thing was so bizarre," says Bamford, noting public and
international support would be needed for an invasion, but apparently
neither the American public, nor the Cuban public, wanted to see U.S.
troops deployed to drive out Castro.

Reflecting this, the U.S. plan called for establishing prolonged
military � not democratic � control over the island nation after the
invasion.

"That's what we're supposed to be freeing them from," Bamford
says. "The only way we would have succeeded is by doing exactly what
the Russians were doing all over the world, by imposing a government
by tyranny, basically what we were accusing Castro himself of doing."

'Over the Edge'

The Joint Chiefs at the time were headed by Eisenhower appointee Army
Gen. Lyman L. Lemnitzer, who, with the signed plans in hand made a
pitch to McNamara on March 13, 1962, recommending Operation
Northwoods be run by the military.

Whether the Joint Chiefs' plans were rejected by McNamara in the
meeting is not clear. But three days later, President Kennedy told
Lemnitzer directly there was virtually no possibility of ever using
overt force to take Cuba, Bamford reports. Within months, Lemnitzer
would be denied another term as chairman and transferred to another
job.

The secret plans came at a time when there was distrust in the
military leadership about their civilian leadership, with leaders in
the Kennedy administration viewed as too liberal, insufficiently
experienced and soft on communism. At the same time, however, there
real were concerns in American society about their military
overstepping its bounds.

There were reports U.S. military leaders had encouraged their
subordinates to vote conservative during the election.

And at least two popular books were published focusing on a right-
wing military leadership pushing the limits against government policy
of the day. The Senate Foreign Relations Committee published its own
report on right-wing extremism in the military, warning
a "considerable danger" in the "education and propaganda activities
of military personnel" had been uncovered. The committee even called
for an examination of any ties between Lemnitzer and right-wing
groups. But Congress didn't get wind of Northwoods, says Bamford.

"Although no one in Congress could have known at the time," he
writes, "Lemnitzer and the Joint Chiefs had quietly slipped over the
edge."

Even after Lemnitzer was gone, he writes, the Joint Chiefs continued
to plan "pretext" operations at least through 1963.

One idea was to create a war between Cuba and another Latin American
country so that the United States could intervene. Another was to pay
someone in the Castro government to attack U.S. forces at the
Guantanamo naval base � an act, which Bamford notes, would have
amounted to treason. And another was to fly low level U-2 flights
over Cuba, with the intention of having one shot down as a pretext
for a war.

"There really was a worry at the time about the military going off
crazy and they did, but they never succeeded, but it wasn't for lack
of trying," he says.

After 40 Years

Ironically, the documents came to light, says Bamford, in part
because of the 1992 Oliver Stone film JFK, which examined the
possibility of a conspiracy behind the assassination of President
Kennedy.

As public interest in the assassination swelled after JFK's release,
Congress passed a law designed to increase the public's access to
government records related to the assassination.

The author says a friend on the board tipped him off to the documents.

Afraid of a congressional investigation, Lemnitzer had ordered all
Joint Chiefs documents related to the Bay of Pigs destroyed, says
Bamford. But somehow, these remained.

"The scary thing is none of this stuff comes out until 40 years
after," says Bamford.

OPERATION NORTHWOODS

TOP SECRET SPECIAL HANDLING NOFORN

(declassified 2000)

The Joint Chiefs of Staff
Washington DC

Memorandum for the Secretary of Defense

Subject: Justification for U.S. Military Intervention in Cuba (TS)
(pdf images of actual documents, 15 pages, 750kb)

JCS to Secretary of War Robert McNamara
March 13, 1962
[Declassified 2000 under court order in Freedom of Information Act
lawsuit]

1. The Joint Chiefs of Staff have considered the attatched memorandum
for the chief of Operations, Cuba Project, which responds to a
request by that office for brief but precise description of pretexts
which would provide justification for US military intervention in
Cuba.

2. The Joint Chiefs of Staff recommend that the proposed memorandum
be forwarded as a preliminary submission suitable for planning
purproses. It is assumed that there will be similar submissions from
other agencies and that these inputs will be used as a basis for
developing a time-phased plan. Individual projects can then be
considered on a case-by-case basis.

3. Further, it is assumed that a single agency will be given the
primary responsibility for developing military and para-military
[terrorist] aspects of the basic plan. It is recommended that this
responsibility for both overt and covert military operations be
assigned to the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

For the Joint Chiefs of Staff
signed: L.L. Limnitzer
Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff

Note by the Secretaries
to the Joint Chiefs of Staff
on Northwoods

Footnoted memorandums:

"Operation Mongoose"

"Instances to Provoke Military Actions in Cuba"

RECOMMENDATIONS:

This paper NOT be forwarded to commanders of specified or unified
commands.

This paper NOT be forwarded to US officers assigned to NATO
activities.

This paper NOT be forwarded to the Chairman, US Delegation, United
Nations Military Staff Committee.

Such a plan would enable a logical buildup of incidents to be
combined with other seemingly unrelated events to camoflage the
ultimate objective and create the necessary impression of Cuban
rashness and irresponsibility on a large scale, directed at other
countries in addition to the United States. The desired resultant
from the execution of this plan would would be to place the United
States in the apparent position of suffering defensible grievances.

A series of well-coordinated incidents will be planned to take place
to give genuine appearance of being done by hostile Cuban forces.

Incidents to establish a credible attack:

Start rumors (many). Use clandestine radio.

Land friendly Cubans in uniform "over-the-fence" to stage attack on
the base.

Capture Cuban (friendly) sabateurs inside the base.

Start riots near the entrance to the base (friendly Cubans).

Blow up ammunition inside the base; start fires.

Burn aircraft on airbase (sabatage).

Lob morter shells from outsidethe base to inside the base. Some
damage to installation.

Capture assault teams.

Capture militia group which storms the base.

Sabotage ship in harbor; large fires -- napthalene [napalm].

Sink ship near harbor entrance. Conduct funerals for mock-victims.

(b) United States would respond by executing offensive operations.

3. A "Remember the Maine" incident could be arranged in several
forms:

a. We could blow up a US ship and blame Cuba.

b. We could blow up a drone (unmannded) vessel anywhere in the Cuban
waters. The presense of Cuban planes or ships merely investigating
the intent of the vessel could be fairly compelling evidence that the
ship was taken under attack. The US could follow with an air/sea
rescue operation covered by US fighters to "evacuate" remaining
members of the non-existant crew. Casualty lists in US newspapers
would cause a helpful wave of national indignation.

c. We could develop a Communist Cuba terror campaign in the Miami
area, in other Flordia cities and even in Washington. The terror
campaign could be pointed at Cuban refugees seeking haven in the
United States. We could sink a boatload of Cubans enroute to Florida
(real or simulated). We could foster attempts on lives of Cubans in
the United States even to the extent of wounding in instances to be
widely publicized. Exploding a few bombs in carefully chosen spots.
The arrest of Cuban agents and the release of prepared documents
substantiating cuban involvement.

5. A "Cuban-based, Castro-supported" filibuster could be simulated
against a neighboring Caribbean nation. These efforts can be
magnified with additional ones contrived for exposure. "Cuban" B-26
or C-46 type aircraft could make cane-burning raids at night. Soviet
Bloc incidiaries could be found. This could be coupled with "Cuban"
messages to the Communist underground and "Cuban" shipments of arms
which would be found, or intercepted, on the beach.

6. Use of MIG-type aircraft by US pilots could provide additional
provocation. Harassment of civil air, attacks on surface shipping,
and destruction of US military drone aircraft by MIG type palnes
would be useful. An F-86 properly painted would convince air
passengers that they saw a Cuban MIG, especially if the pilot of the
transport were to announce that fact.

7. Hijacking attampts against US civil air and surface craft should
be encouraged.

8. It is possible to create an incident which would demonstrate
convincingly that a Cuban aircraft has attacked and shot down a
chartered civilian airliner from the United States.

a. An aircraft at Eglin AFB would be painted and numbered as an exact
duplicate for a civil registered aircraft belonging to a CIA
proprietary organization in the Miami area. At a designated time the
duplicate would be subsituted for the actual civil aircraft and the
passengers, all boarded under carefully prepared aliases. The actual
registered aircraft would be converted to a drone.

b. Take off times of the drone aircraft and the actual aircraft will
be scheduled to allow a rondevous. From the rondevous point the
passenger-carrying aircraft will descend to minimum altitude and go
directly to an auxiliary airfield at Eglin AFB where arrangements
will have been made to evacuate the passengers and return the
aircraft to its original status. Meanwhile the drone aircraft will
continue to fly the filed flight plan. The drone will be transmitting
on the international distress frequency "MAY DAY" message stating it
is under attack by Cuban MIG aircraft. The transmission will be
interrupted by the destruction of aircraft which will be triggered by
radio signal. This will allow IACO radio stations to tell the US what
has happened to the aircraft instead of the US trying to "sell" the
incident.

9. It is possible to create an incident that will make it appear that
Communist Cuban MIGs have destroyed a USAF aircraft over
international waters in an unprovoked attack.

b. On one such flight, a pre-briefed pilot would fly Tail-end
Charlie. While near the Cuban island this pilot would broadcast that
he had been jumped by MIGs and was going down. This pilot would then
fly at extremely low altitude and land at a secure base, an Eglin
auxiliary. The aircraft would be met by the proper people, quickly
stored and given a new tail number. The pilot who performed the
mission under an alias would resume his proper identity. The pilot
and aircraft would then have disappeared.

c. A submarine or small craft would distribute F-101 parts,
parachute, etc. The pilots retuning to Homestead would have a true
story as far as they knew. Search ships and aircraft could be
dispatched and parts of aircraft found.

3. It is understood that the Department of State is also preparing
suggested courses of action to develope justification for US military
intervention in Cuba.

Ellsberg ties FBI to King shooting.

By John Moulton, Knoxville News-Sentinel, Nov 12, 1978.

MEMPHIS --A notarized statement by Daniel Ellsberg, released to The News-Sentinel Saturday night by James Earl Ray's attorney, Mark Lane, states flatly that an aide to UN Ambassador Andrew Young told Ellsberg, "We know there was a conspiracy (to kill Dr. Martin Luther King) and we know who did it."

Ellsberg's affidavit claims he was told there was definitely FBI involvement in the murder.

Lane said the 44-page affidavit by Ellsberg, who gained worldwide attention by leaking the now-famed Pentagon Papers secrets, will be one of the chief pieces of evidence used in seeking a new trial for Ray.

The completed text of the affidavit was signed and notarized in San Francisco Oct. 20.
