Mark Lombardi: Global (Conspiracy) Networks

Mapping criminal corporate-government connections is a dangerous occupation. Exposing the players and their front companies is even more hazardous. These are the subjects of Mark Lombardi's art -- the hidden global realities of money and power. His artwork, literally as well as figuratively, connects the dots of international high-level white-collar crime networks.

Lombardi's drawings are mandalas of conspiracy, flow charts of shady deals and shaky agents, and org charts of world-class con men, revealing the genealogy of wickedness in the highest places of corporate and government power.



"Mark Lombardi: Global Networks" is a traveling exhibition of 25 drawings, some as large as 4' x 12,’ organized by New York-based Independent Curators International (ICI) and curated by Robert Hobbs of Virginia Commonwealth University. In graphic terms, the drawings document the major financial and political frauds of the late 20th century. They are flow charts of illicit money and power, solid and dotted lines and curves as well as broken arrows denoting the flows of illicit financial operations and covert revenues.

What's the secret?' chided William Conway, a co-founder of the group. 'I don't think we have any secrets. We are a group of businessmen who have made a huge amount of money for our investors.' 'I never bought into this conspiracy theory about the Bush family, the energy companies or the Carlyle Group,' says Michael King, seasoned political editor of the Austin Chronicle , who has observed the phenomenon for decades. 'It is perfectly clear what they're aiming at from what they do in public: managing the global economy to their own advantage, and doing a pretty good job of it.'

On 11 September, while Al-Qaeda's planes slammed into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, the Carlyle Group hosted a conference at a Washington hotel. Among the guests of honour was a valued investor: Shafig bin Laden, brother to Osama.,

Subdermal RFID chip provokes furore

By Lester Haines
Posted: 04/12/2003 at 14:35 GMT

Well, it's already been widely reported, but we reckon it's Vulture Central's turn to chip in its two cents' worth to the subdermal RFID chip debate.

To summarise, US cybercorporation Applied Digital Solutions has developed the so-called "VeriChip", a "miniaturised, implantable radio frequency identification device (RFID) that has the potential to be used in a variety of personal identification, security, financial, and potential healthcare applications".

Sounds good. Here's the full gen from the company: "About the size of a grain of rice, each VeriChip product contains a unique verification number that is captured by briefly passing a proprietary scanner over the VeriChip. The standard location of the microchip is in the triceps area between the elbow and the shoulder of the right arm. The brief outpatient 'chipping' procedure lasts just a few minutes and involves only local anesthetic followed by quick, painless insertion of the VeriChip. Once inserted just under the skin, the VeriChip is inconspicuous to the naked eye. A small amount of radio frequency energy passes from the scanner energizing the dormant VeriChip, which then emits a radio frequency signal transmitting the verification number."

The aforementioned financial benefits to humanity come in the form of "VeriPay", which uses the chip for cash and credit transactions. This is not the first time RFID transaction solutions have been mooted, but there is, of course, a security issue. At the recent ID World 2003 (good title - well done) in Paris, Applied Digital Solutions CEO Scott R Silverman addressed the possibility of someone mislaying their RNID "credit card": "VeriPay’s unique, under-the-skin format offers a much more secure, tamper-proof, and loss-proof solution. VeriPay brings to consumers the benefits of fast and reliable RFID technology along with the security of a subdermal format."

There's that word 'benefit' again. In fact, there is no apparent benefit to the consumer from this RFID application. Someone's business will benefit, but you'll be walking around with a chip in your arm carrying personal and/or financial information which can be scanned without your knowledge.

Well, that's what Joe Public seems to think, as exemplified by the story of Wal-Mart and its attempt to use RFID inventory control. This is just one example of possible applications which have a whole raft of civil liberties and consumers' groups calling for a moratorium on all RFID chips.

But could this not be just another Big Brother-style panic induced by the prospect of fleets of black helicopters disgorging RFID scanner-bearing lizard people bent on the subjugation of the human race? Surely there must be some practical application for this skin-deep technology?

A quick straw poll of El Reg hacks offered the following:

* RFID-scanning autopour beer pumps which dispense your preferred tipple before you've even reached the bar.

* RFID-enabled talking bins that know in which language to thank you when you deposit litter therein.

* RFID-tagged microwave pizzas and ice-cream cartons which trigger a supermarket checkout "shame alarm" when purchased by fat people.

* RFID audio chip which tells David Blunkett you're not an illegal immigrant without the poor bloke having to fumble around the Braille bit of your (easily mislaid) National Identity Card.



We're certain readers can think of plenty more. In the meantime, if you don't believe that RFID is the greatest threat to civil liberties since number plate recognition technology, and fancy becoming your very own Captain Cyborg, you can sign up for your register-now-get-chipped-later deal right here. Hurry though - there's currently an unbeatable £50 chipping discount. Now that's what we call consumer benefit. ®

What has become of Britain's 500 'terrorist suspects'?

Of the 500 people arrested in Britain under the Terrorism Act since 9/11, so far only two have been convicted. What has happened to the others?


The arrest this week of 14 terrorist suspects in the UK brings to 529 the number of people held under the landmark Terrorism Act 2000.

All but 30 of them were detained after the attacks in America on 11 September 2001, a date which signalled a stepping up of the fight against global terrorism.

Bloody September

In September of 1999, a series of middle of the night explosions shook Russian cities destroying several apartment blocks. More than 300 people died as they slept. The attacks, attributed to the Chechen terrorists, boosted the popularity of the hawkish would-be President Vladimir Putin. Then, a strange thing happened. A bomb was defused by the local police, the trail of evidence leading to the door of FSB, the Russian secret service. The FSB was forced to admit "an ill-conceived exercise". Ever since, a question has lingered over Mr. Putin's presidency: Who Done It? Why no one has been convicted of 9/99 attacks? Why the investigation was suppressed? Witnessess disappeared? Inquisitive journalists imtimidated? Critical TV stations closed down? In these pages you will find the facts, the news and the views about the gravest of unsolved crimes of the XX century.

Test Marketing the Mark of the Beast!

A prototype of an implantable biometric chip capable of marking an individual's precise location and of monitoring him or her for life is gaining support. It was named Best in Show of 170 International Science Exhibitors last year, and released in its "First Phase" wristwatch format called Guardian Angel soon after. Most recently millions of Today Show viewers watched an American family get "chipped" with ADS's VeriChip™ live from a doctor's office in Boca Raton. Recent acts of terrorism have many calling for mandatory implementation of the implantable technology...more below.


Applied Digital Solutions (ADS) received patent rights to Digital Angel (TM) technology on December 10, 1999. What set Digital Angel apart from the competition was the innovative design--a miniature digital transceiver specifically created for human implantation.

According to information released last year the implantable transceiver "sends and receives data and can be continuously tracked by GPS (Global Positioning Satellite) technology. The transceiver's power supply and actuation system are unlike anything ever created. When implanted within a body, the device is powered electromechanically through the movement of muscles, and it can be activated either by the 'wearer' or by the monitoring facility."

An Information Technology report recently verified plans to study implantable chips as a method of tracking terrorists. After first pulling back from the implantable version of its Digital Angel, ADS foresees a unique use of its product in the wake of terrorist attacks in New York and Washington.

"We've changed out thinking since September 11," a company spokesman said, "Now there's more of a need to monitor evil activities."

ADS also claims the Digital Angel has a variety of other uses, such as "providing a tamper-proof means of identification for enhanced e-business security, animal tracking, locating lost or missing individuals, tracking the location of valuable property and monitoring the medical conditions of at-risk patients."

Following the Internet World Wireless 2001 award for "Best of Show: Client Services," Mercedes Walton, President and COO of Applied Digital Solutions, said: ``We have always had high expectations for the Digital Angel products. This award is truly a validation of our faith in Digital Angel's ability to capture the imagination of the public. Consumer anticipation has translated into accelerated interest from potential partners and allies. We are eager to bring Digital Angel to the marketplace in a very timely manner...."

To further advocate Digital Angel technology, Applied Digital Solutions launched a website http://www.digitalangel.net where viewers can peruse diagrams and read summary information.

Other manufacturers of sub-skin implants have quietly field-tested similar devices over the past few years. The London Times reported in October 1998, "Film stars and the children of millionaires are among 45 people, including several Britons, who have been fitted with the chips (called the Sky Eye) in secret tests."

Due to civil liberty and privacy issues, the ACLU announced opposition to mandatory microchip implantation when applied to humans. The ACLU is certain to be a strange bedfellow of Christians and conservatives concerning this issue.

THE FULFILLMENT OF PROPHECY?

Many Christians believe that, before long, an antichrist system will appear. It will be a New World Order, under which national boundaries dissolve, and ethnic groups, ideologies, religions, and economics from around the world, orchestrate a single and dominant sovereignty. The system will supposedly be free of religious and political extremes, and membership will tolerate the philosophical and cultural differences of its constituents. Except for minor nonconformities, war, terrorism, and hunger will be a thing of the past.

According to popular Biblical interpretation, a single personality will surface at the head of the utopian administration. He will appear as a man of distinguished character, but will ultimately become "a king of fierce countenance" (Dan. 8:23).

With imperious decree the Antichrist will facilitate the one-world government, universal religion, and globally monitored socialism. Those who refuse his New World Order will inevitably be imprisoned or destroyed, until at last he exalts himself "above all that is called God, or that is worshiped, so that he, as God, sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God" (2 Thess. 2:4).

The Antichrist's widespread power will be derived at the expense of individual human liberties. He will force "all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six [666]" (Rev. 13:16-18).

For many years the idea that humans could somehow succumb to little more than branded cattle, and that rugged individualism would thereafter be sacrificed for an anesthetized universal harmony, was repudiated by America’s greatest minds.

Then, in the 1970’s, things began to change. Following a call by Nelson Rockefeller for the creation of a "New World Order," presidential candidate Jimmy Carter campaigned, saying, "We must replace balance of power politics with world order politics."

During the 1980's President George Bush continued the one-world dirge, announcing over national television that "a New World Order" had arrived. Following the initial broadcast, President Bush addressed the Congress, saying,


What is at stake is more than one small country [Kuwait], it is a big idea--a new world order, where diverse nations are drawn together in common cause to achieve the universal aspirations of mankind: peace and security, freedom, and the rule of law. Such is a world worthy of our struggle, and worthy of our children’s future!

Ever since the President's astonishing newscast, a parade of political and religious leaders have discharged a profusion of rhetoric aimed at implementing the goals of a New World Order.
Developers of biometric implant chips employ similar language in announcing compatible global technologies, and many Americans consider electronically marking humans or implanting a series of digital equations under the skin to be the natural progress of advancing and necessary technologies.

IT SHOULD COME AS NO SURPRISE

Some people believe implantable microchips will be the Biblical Mark of the Beast. These claim that acts of terrorism such as the ones in New York and Washington, encourage microchipping humans for identification purposes.

But even before the New York and Pentagon tragedies, a push was being made to brand and monitor humanity. Consider the following:

As far back as 1973, Senior Scholastics introduced school age children to the concept of buying and selling using numbers inserted in the forehead. In the September 20, 1973 feature "Who Is Watching You?" the secular high school journal speculated:

"All buying and selling in the program will be done by computer. No currency, no change, no checks. In the program, people would receive a number that had been assigned them tattooed in their wrist or forehead. The number is put on by laser beam and cannot be felt. The number in the body is not seen with the naked eye and is as permanent as your fingerprints. All items of consumer goods will be marked with a computer mark. The computer outlet in the store which picks up the number on the items at the checkstand will also pick up the number in the person's body and automatically total the price and deduct the amount from the person's 'Special Drawing Rights' account."

In the 1974 article "The Specter of Eugenics," Charles Frankel pointed out Linus Pauling's (Nobel Prize winner) suggestions that a mark be tattooed on the foot or forehead of every young person. Pauling envisioned a mark denoting genotype.

In 1980, U.S. News and World Report continued the warning, pointing out that the Federal Government was contemplating "National Identity Cards," without which nobody could work or conduct business.

The Denver Post Sun followed up in 1981, claiming that chip implants could someday replace I.D. cards. The June 21, 1981 story read in part, "The chip is placed in a needle which is affixed to a simple syringe containing an anti-bacterial solution. The needle is capped and ready to forever identify something--or somebody."

The May 7, 1996 Chicago Tribune questioned the technology, wondering aloud if we could trust Big Brother under our skin?

Then in 1997 applications for patents of subcutaneous implant devices for "a person or an animal" were applied for.

On April 27, 1998, Time Magazine ran the story, The Big Bank Theory And What It Says About The Future OF Money, in which they opined "Your daughter can store the money any way she wants--on her laptop, on a debit card, even (in the not too distant future) on a chip implanted under her skin."

In August 1998 the BBC covered the first known human microchip implantation. (see documentation)

That same month the Sunday Oregonian warned that proposed medical identifiers might erode privacy rights by tracking individuals through alphanumeric health identifier technologies. The startling Oregonian feature depicted humans with barcodes in their foreheads.

Senator Robb (Virginia) felt it necessary to add the MARC (multi-technology automated reader card) Card Amendment to the FY97 DOD Authorization Bill.

One can only speculate why bionics is attempting to create organisms that contain linked organic (human cells) material with biometric chips for human implantation (documentation site) Also see here (second story)

Recently millions of Today Show viewers watched an American family get "chipped" with ADS's VeriChip™ live from a doctor's office in Boca Raton.

Meanwhile, it's the year 2003. Terrorism has many people in the mood to sacrifice human liberties, and Digital Angel has opened its first mass production factory in Palm Beach, Florida.

[The ominous Oregonian feature]
WILL DIGITAL "MARKS" SOON BE MANDATORY?

Makers of implantable microchips claim the proceedure will be voluntary at first. But a report written by Elaine M. Ramish for the Franklin Pierce Law Center says:

"A [mandatory] national identification system via microchip implants could be achieved in two stages: Upon introduction as a voluntary system, the microchip implantation will appear to be palatable. After there is a familiarity with the procedure and a knowledge of its benefits, implantation would be mandatory."

George Getz, the communications director for the Libertarian Party agrees, saying:

After all, the government has never forced anyone to have a driver license, [but] try getting along without one, when everyone from your local banker to the car rental man to the hotel operator to the grocery store requires one in order for you to take advantage of their services, that amounts to a de facto mandate. If the government can force you to surrender your fingerprints to get a drivers license, why can't it force you to get a computer chip implant?

People like Mr. Getz are correct. Conservatives and liberals alike need to contact state and federal representatives and demand laws preserving individual rights before Digital Angel and similar forces lead humanity down a high-tech path of no return.

Just as Social Security numbers were first voluntary, then mandatory, biometric chip implants will eventually become mandatory unless citizens rise up in immediate and national opposition. Even Applied Digital Solution's chief executive officer Richard Sullivan envisions a scenario where ``people [are] required to be chipped or [have] some combination of a device requiring them to be scanned and monitored at all times.'' [1]

Note what the prophet said!


And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark [charagma; from Greek charax meaning to stake down into or "stick into"] in their right hand, or in their foreheads....Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six (Rev. 13:16-18)
Did the prophet foresee a hypodermic needle injecting something beneath the skin? Probably.
A temporary victory was won against such ideas following the original news story by Raiders News Update concerning ADS's implantable microchip intentions in 1999. News services across the web ran our story resulting in an inundation by concerned readers. ADS's shares droped on the Nasdaq from $5.00 to .50 each. ADS then released this statement:

"We are not pursuing any applications for embedded chips and we have moved away from that for a couple of reasons....There are a number of privacy concerns and religious implications -- fundamentalist Christian groups [Raiders News Update] regard it [implanting computer chips] as the Devil's work."

More recently however an Independent news story claimed that if the Palm Beach testing center's wristwatch version of Digital Angel is successful, ADS "will start implanting them inside humans between the muscle and the skin on the forearm next year."

Then terrorism came along, the perfect incentive for mandating everything from face scanning to implantable chips as not only inevitable, but perhaps a good idea. These are differences in degree, not in kind, and forecasts a prediction made long ago:

And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. (Rev. 14:9-11)

Připravme se na BIG BANG

26.11.2003
Vladimír Stwora

Svět sleduje vývoj ve Spojených státech už delší dobu se vzrůstajícím neklidem. Od volebního puče, kterým si Bush a skupina neokonzervativců zajistila vítězství, uplynuly skoro tři roky. Od té doby jako kdyby naše planeta byla prokletá. Nebo jako kdyby vlétla do oblasti vesmíru, kde v politice stoprocentně platí Murphyho zákon: "Může-li se něco pokazit, tak se to pokazí." A "padající předmět padá směrem, kterým způsobí co nejvíce škod."


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Poslední dva roky usedám ráno k počítači s obavou, co se zase hrozného za posledních pár hodin událo. A pak čtu a k dlouhému, nepřetržitému řetězu špatných zpráv z včerejška a před včerejška a minulého týdne a měsíce přidávám nové špatné zprávy, přičemž je rozděluji pouze na ty špatné a ještě horší. Ať jde o útok na životní prostředí, demografický vývoj, potlačování základních lidských práv, policejní šmírování, celosvětovou zaprodanost masmédií, ztrátu soudnosti u většiny populace, úpadek morálky a vkusu, běsnění hlasatelů politické korektnosti, divoký rasismus proti bílým, ekonomickou situaci, šílené zbrojení, militarizaci kosmu, genové manipulace, vznik nových podivných nemocí, které ještě před několika lety neexistovaly, atd., atd. Pozitivních zpráv je tak málo, že to odporuje zákonům počtu pravděpodobnosti.

Bohužel všechno ukazuje na to, že nádoba zla není ještě prázdná. A že to nejhustější, co bývá u dna, nás ještě čeká.

V Americe se schyluje k volbám. Ačkoliv má Bush (díky machinacím s volebními počítači) vítězství jisté na 80 %, obávám se, že to není to, po čem doopravdy prahne. Respektive on ví, že stejně vyhraje. Bush chápe své prezidentství, jako boží poslání. Je přesvědčen, že ho povolal Bůh a že všechno, co činí, je z vůle Boží.

Bush sám je ovšem jenom figurka. Je ovládán mocnou skupinou v pozadí. Ta skupina se nikdy netajila s tím, že jí jde o globální vládu nad světem. Alespoň toto je dobrá zpráva, protože nemusíme ztrácet čas hádáním, o co jim vlastně jde. Dali nám to na talíři. Program PNAC - Project for the New American Century ( http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article1665.htm, http://abcnews.go.com/sections/nightline/DailyNews/pnac_030310.html) byl zveřejněn dlouho předtím, než se Bush dostal do Bílého domu. A po jeho jmenování dosedlo na nejvyšší místa v nejmocnějším státě světa 10 z 18 mužů, podepsaných pod PNAC.

Pochopitelně těchto deset mužů je jen viditelná špička ledovce. Nedosáhli by ničeho, kdyby za nimi nestály nadnárodní zbrojařské a naftařské koncerny, banky, finanční oligarchie, média a kdyby se jejich plány nekryly s plány Izraele, jehož současní vládci rovněž usoudili, že přišel čas konečně realizovat slova 2000 let starého učení o tom, že jsou nadřazeni ostatním národům, které jim musí sloužit.

V čele nejmocnějšího státu světa tedy dnes stojí fanatický, bigotní psychopat s omezeným rozhledem, se sklonem k alkoholu, přesvědčený o tom, že ho seslal Bůh, ovládaný skupinou ke všemu schopných šílenců. Hitler i Stalin byli podobné kreatury, jenže oni neměli prst na spoušti největšího jaderného potenciálu světa, jehož síla byla už v roce 1950 schopná zničit život na planetě několikrát. Opravdu nemohlo to být horší.

Vše, co skupina PNAC za podpory sionistů zatím podnikla, bylo bezchybné. Hm, tedy téměř bezchybné. Některé nesrovnalosti kolem skvěle provedeného útoku z 11. září sice pronikly na veřejnost a daly vzniknout poměrně silným konspiračním teoriím, ale tím se příští vládcové světa nemusí zabývat. Vědí, že stokrát opakovaná lež se stane pravdou, a že do masmédií nic z těch desítek podezřelých důkazů a nelogičností kolem 11. září, nepronikne. A ostatně, jejich hlasatelé už brzy oněmí...

Trošku se jim to zkomplikovalo v Iráku a Afghánistánu. Ti hloupí Arabové se brání jako čerti a skvělá technická převaha americké armády není v primitivních a pouštních podmínkách k ničemu. Navíc se už pomalu nedostává peněz a vojáků. Vojenské síly rozprostřené ve 120 zemích světa se podobají rozlitému mléku. Plochou pokryjí celou podlahu, ale vrstvička je to jen milimetr tlustá. Jistě bude třeba povolat další mladé muže a 280 milionový stát nemůže mít problém postavit deseti milionovou armádu, bude-li třeba. Brát je z čeho. Už se také hovoří o státní loterii, branci se museli zaregistrovat a jejich jména budou náhodně tažena pro službu v zámoří. Jenže v tomto okamžiku je to ještě politicky nevhodné. Vládcové jsou ještě zranitelní.

Dalším drobným problémem, který zatím neohrožuje přímo, ale časem by mohl, je otázka voleb. Stále více odborníků i prostých občanů začíná protestovat proti elektronickému hlasování, které nelze ověřit. Stát Kalifornia už dokonce přijal zákon, že do roku 2006 musí každý hlasovací počítač zanechávat papírovou stopu, takže by se volební lístky v případě nesrovnalosti daly přepočítat ručně. Pravda, v roce 2006 už bude dávno po volbách, ale co ty další volby? Očekává se, že příkladu Kalifornie budou brzy následovat další státy.

Přišel čas vykonat poslední krok. Převzít moc, zlikvidovat opozici, umlčet disent, zrušit volby. Co nejrychleji a jednou pro vždy vyřešit problém s arabskou naftou a se vzpurnými muslimy, pacifikovat a ovládnout země Středního východu, Izraeli vyřešit problém s Palestinou (vnutit světu myšlenku, že žádná Palestina nikdy neexistovala), doma zlikvidovat opozici a zajistit si časově neomezenou vládu.

Co se Arabů týče, jediná možnost je použít jaderné zbraně. To ušetří vojáky i peníze a zajistí rychlé vítězství. Arabům to vezme chuť na další odpor. Jenže když je USA použije jako první, vyvolá to ve světě bouři nevole a odporu. Na to sice Bushova administrativa kašle, ale jsou tady finanční vazby a ty by mohly utrpět. Amerika denně potřebuje půjčit od zbytku světa dvě miliardy dolarů, aby udržela ekonomiku v chodu.

Takže je nutno použít jaderné zbraně až jako reakci na ZHN teroristů.

Jak to bude probíhat, nevím, ale bude to velké. Předpokládám, že v příštích měsících vybuchne v některém velkém městě západního světa atomová bomba střední velikosti. Nejpravděpodobněji v USA nebo v Británii, ale může to být i jinde. Možná to budou bomby dvě.

Druhá varianta je biologický útok. V některém městě (městech) vypukne epidemie smrtelné choroby.

Ať už to budou bomby nebo nemoc, důležité je to, že při tom musí zemřít velké množství lidí. Uvažuji o desítkách, možná stovkách tisíc. Pro Američany to musí být šok ještě mnohem horší, než ten z 11. září. Jinak nebude možné říct: "Lidičky, já vás ochráním," zrušit ústavu (jak to předvídal generál Franks) a vyhlásit stanné právo, zavřít opozici, přijmout beze zbytku Patriot Act II a možná i III, zavést všeobecnou brannou povinnost, celý stát neprodyšně uzavřít, dostavět koncentráky a prohlásit se za neodvolatelného vůdce. Zkrátka začít konečně vládnout bez servítku.

Z útoku bude možno okamžitě obvinit al-Káidu, stopy povedou do Íránu nebo Sýrie. Ostatně budou existovat jasné důkazy. Předpokládám, že se na místě výbuchu najde příručka v arabštině Jak vyrobit atomovou bombu. Na zadní stránce příručky bude telefonní číslo bin Ladena nebo jeho rukou psaný vzkaz. A pak už jistě celý svět přivře oči a pochopí, že Američané nemohli dělat nic jiného, než odpovědět stejně: oko za oko, zub za zub.

Neokonzervativcům a Izraeli se tak podaří zabít tři mouchy jednou ranou.

Za prvé: Konečně budou moci vládnout bez těch pitomých lidských práv. Vyhledávání informací bude považováno za spolupráci s nepřítelem. Disidentské webové stránky zmizí už několik hodin po útoku. Ostatně jich není více, než 200-300, a FBI už má dávno připravený jmenný seznam. Zavedou se povinné mikročipy pod kůži. Při současné kontrole všech komunikačních prostředků budou přesně vědět nejen jak kdo smýšlí, ale také kde právě je. Nedostatek patriotického nadšení bude považován za terorismus, jedinci budou po zásluze potrestání.

Za druhé: Střední východ bude vypadat tak, jak si představuje Izrael s Amerikou. Všechny arabské země doborovolně přijmou "svobodu a demokracii nabízenou jim Amerikou." Palestinci nebudou protestovat proti životu v ghettu ohrazeném pětimetrovou zdí na 3 % jejich původního území. Platit za naftu se bude v dolarech a ne v nějakých euro.

A za třetí: Amerika světu ukáže, že to myslí vážně a že "s námi nejsou žerty. Kdo pochybuje o naší nadřazenosti, může dopadnout stejně."

I kdyby Bush dnes umřel, nic to na průběhu příštích události nezmění. PNAC a sionisté mají otěže pevně v ruce. Bush by byl okamžitě nahrazen jinou figurkou a jelo by se dál podle téhož plánu.

Budeme-li my, zbytek světa, mít štěstí, tak útok zůstane jen lokální. Nechci domyslet, co by se stalo, kdyby do konfliktu vstoupila např. Čína, Rusko nebo jiná velmoc, což není vyloučeno, protože i ony mají na Středním východě své zájmy.

Někdy po večerech přemýšlím nad tím, zda se tomu dalo zabránit. Kde se stala chyba? A zdá se mi, že to nebylo v moci žádného člověka ani národa. Na ten vývoj je už zaděláno přes sto let. Vše, co se v minulém století dělo, se dělo podle plánu, jehož prvním úspěšným krokem byla Balfourova deklarace z roku 1917.

Co můžeme dělat? Nic. Užít si těch posledních pár měsíců relativní svobody a nemyslet na to, co bude zítra.

Al-Qaeda aiming for 'spectacular attack'

14.47PM GMT, 28 Nov 2003


Al-Qaeda had been plotting a series of strikes in the US earlier this year but dropped the plans to focus on a "spectacular" attack, a counter-terrorism official has said.

It has been claimed that interviews with detainees and intercepted communications have shown that Osama bin Laden's terrorist network is aiming to launch an attack to rival September 11.

Reports from the US quoted an official, who has access to al-Qaeda intelligence as saying: "It's clear that al-Qaeda wants to strike here."

The counter-terrorism official added that the group wished to launch a "catastrophic attack".

A chemical or biological strike is seen by some senior al-Qaeda figures as a way to attack the US in a way more deadly than September 11, according to intelligence.

But the biggest threat remains to be from conventional explosives which could be used for car bombs or in suicide attacks.

There is believed to be an ongoing fascination with using hijacked aircraft as missiles, and security around cargo planes has recently been tightened.

Although there were no specific details on how or where the attack was planned, the official said intelligence suggested al-Qaeda still had a definite command and control structure in place.

There are currently around 1,000 terrorism-related investigations being conducted in the US, the source said, mostly about fund-raising and recruitment.

Some US intelligence analysts believe that the bombings in Turkey last week, including strikes on two synagogues, an HSBC building and the British Consulate, may have signalled the start of a new wave of attacks.

The twin suicide attacks killed 31 people in the bombing of the consulate building in Istanbul, including the British consul general Roger Short.

US intelligence has also learned more about al-Qaeda's presence in the US in recent months.

Analysts said there were only a few people in the country who were suspected al-Qaeda operatives capable of carrying out a "spectacular" strike.

That would mean that any potential terrorist would have to enter the country from abroad.

Additive use could shift theory in anthrax case

FBI's interest in Hatfill seems to have dropped off
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

By Scott Shane
Sun Staff
Originally published November 28, 2003


Adding fuel to a debate that has simmered among scientists since the 2001 anthrax attacks, an article published today in Science magazine says that the deadly spores mailed to two U.S. senators contained sophisticated additives to make the powder float more freely in the air.

If confirmed, such a technical innovation might be an important clue in the seemingly stalled FBI investigation, narrowing the field of potential suspects to people with access to such additives and expertise in using them.

It would point away from an alternative possibility: that a person with modest scientific skills working alone in a home lab could have made the powder, which killed five people and sickened at least 17 others in October and November 2001.

The latter possibility appears to have been the leading theory guiding FBI agents who over the past 18 months have sunk huge amounts of manpower into investigating former Army biowarfare expert Dr. Steven J. Hatfill

There is no question that the anthrax used was weaponized, and tests confirm that the Anthrax used in the letters came from the strain kept at Fort Detrick. The problem is that the FBI already HAS a suspect, a man caught entering the storage area where the Anthrax was kept AFTER he had lost his job over a racially motivated attack on an Egyptian co-worker. But for "some reason", Dr. Philip Zack remains immune from investigation while the FBI, urged on by Dr. Barbara Rosenberg, has made Dr. Hatfill's life a living hell.

SMALLPOX PROVISIONS HIDDEN IN HOMELAND SECURITY BILL

by Mike Davis ®
11/14/2002, 11:22:00

The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS) is urging Members of Congress to eliminate the section of the new Homeland Security Bill that would give the HHS Secretary virtually unlimited powers to declare an emergency and order smallpox treatment that could include forced immunizations and quarantines.

The 480-page bill, HR 5710 hits the floor of the House tonight, even though most Members haven't had a chance to read it yet. Section 304, Subsection C is titled "Administration of counter measures against smallpox."

It gives the Secretary of HHS these unchecked powers (pg. 76):

Declare an actual or POTENTIAL bio-terrorist or other kind of incident He can administer "countermeasures" to a category of individuals or everyone He can continually extend the declare the declaration without Congress's consent Also, if you are harmed, you cannot sue or take any other civil remedy.

"This section will give the Secretary unlimited power to define a real or potential threat, to take any measures he decides, and to do it for as long as he wants," said Kathryn Serkes, AAPS spokeswoman. "It’s Alice in Wonderland time again – an emergency is just what he says it is."

Serkes also points out that the section echoes the Model State Emergency Health Powers Act that most state legislatures defeated this past year. "Just remove 'governor' from the old bill and insert 'Secretary' and magically you have a federal bill that was firmly rejected by voters across the country," said Serkes.

AAPS sent out thousands of email alerts urging voters to ask that the section be removed.

"Just what are the 'counter measures' allowed?" Forced immunizations? Quarantines? It’s not clear, but the powers seem virtually unchecked by any other agency," said Serkes. "We need an honest accounting of how this will work. It's too frightening to allow it to be rammed through."

AAPS has repeatedly applauded the President's movement toward an advance, voluntary immunization to head off forced vaccines following an attack.

I find this governmental obsession with Smallpox worrisome. There are, after all, hundreds of pathogens a military enemy or terrorists might use against the US population. Yet we keep seeing effort after effort after effort to have Smallpox vaccinations made mandatory at government discretion, even though the existing vaccinations have proven problematic for those who have had them. Why the focus on just Smallpox? What does the US Government know, or more to the point, what is the US Government planning? National Security Study 200 is still in effect, its recommendations still official US Government policy.

A severe and early outbreak of flu is striking now in Texas, Colorado, Scotland and England, and top flu experts are warning that the world has too few anti-flu medicines on hand if a global super outbreak of influenza, called a pandemic, hits in the future.

Ibrahim, the Shin Bet wants you to join Qaida

By Danny Rubinstein

PA unveils Israeli intelligence scheme, denies Gaza links to bin Laden

Early last week, Rashi Abu Sba, head of the preventive security apparatus in Gaza, the equivalent of the Shin Bet, accused the Israeli security service of tricking young Palestinians into conducting missions in the name of Al-Qaida. Last Tuesday, a young man named Ibrahim was presented to reporters in Gaza. Ibrahim hid his face behind a mask, and told what happened to him.

He said that a year ago he sent in a personal, with his photo and phone number, to East Jerusalem's Posta, a cultural-entertainment weekly with a personals section. Three months later, the Gazan received a phone call from an older man, who introduced himself as a merchant named Ahmed, who told Ibrahim that his photo reminded him of his son. They spoke on the phone a number of times, with Ahmed asking Ibrahim about the situation - and if he was a devout Muslim.

During one of the conversations, Ahmed told Ibrahim that he wanted to help Gazans in economic distress and began sending money - cash in dollars and Jordanian dinars - through the Nablus branch of the Cairo-Amman bank. Ibrahim told Ahmed that he had never been arrested nor involved in any political organization. Then, in one of the conversations, Ahmed said he was working for Osama bin Laden's Al-Qaida organization, and Ibrahim was meant to be one of its organizers in northern Gaza since the group already had an infrastructure in the south. Ahmed gave Ibrahim a list of people, mostly Hamas activists, and was told to collect information about them and follow them so they could also be drafted for the Al-Qaida cause.

The two never met, but at a certain point during their telephone contact, Ibrahim became suspicious. He contacted a preventive security officer in Gaza and told him the whole story. The officer looked into the matter and told Ibrahim that Ahmed was an Israeli Shin Bet agent, and Ibrahim should immediately cut off any contacts with him.

Palestinian sources said last week that the case was not unusual, and they reported it, as well as similar cases, during a security meeting with top-level U.S. security officials.

Bush is already preparing for the 2004 presidential campaign and has been able to collect $200,000,000 for it. The most active supporters of his campaign will be Zionist forces, the Christian fundamentalist movement and the Catholic right. Together they constitute a powerful electoral force buttressed by multinationals -- especially those involved in arms manufacturing, in oil, in the pharmaceutical industry and in the media -- as well as many higher levels in the armed forces in a country undergoing rapid militarisation. Kanan Makiya, an Iraqi based in Washington, DC and a member of the Iraqi National Council headed by Ahmed Chalabi, commenting on the projected war against Iraq a few months before it was launched, said "The removal of Saddam Hussein presents the United States in particular with a historic opportunity that I believe is going to prove to be as large as anything that has happened in the Middle East since the fall of the Ottoman Empire and the entry of the British troops into Iraq in 1917."

Does al-Qaeda exist?

by Brendan O'Neill

Article28 November 2003Printer-friendly version


'Al-Qaeda bombing foiled' says the front page of today's UK Sun, reporting the arrest yesterday of 24-year-old student Sajid Badat in Gloucester, England, on suspicion of involvement in terrorist activity. Other reports have referred to Badat as 'having links with al-Qaeda' and being a potential 'suicide bomber' (1).


Also this week, media reports claim that al-Qaeda may have developed 'car-bomb capability' in the USA, and that al-Qaeda has compiled a 'kidnappers' manual' and is plotting to snatch American troops from Iraq and other parts of the Middle East. Every day since the 9/11 attacks of 2001 there have been media reports about al-Qaeda - its leaders, members, capabilities, bank accounts, reach and threat. What is this al-Qaeda? Does such a group even exist?


Some terrorism experts doubt it. Adam Dolnik and Kimberly McCloud reckon it's time we 'defused the widespread image of al-Qaeda as a ubiquitous, super-organised terror network and call it as it is: a loose collection of groups and individuals that doesn't even refer to itself as al-Qaeda'. Dolnik and McCloud - who first started studying terrorism at the prestigious Monterey Institute of International Studies in California - claim it was Western officials who imposed the name 'al-Qaeda' on to disparate radical Islamic groups and who blew Osama bin Laden's power and reach 'out of proportion'. Both are concerned about the threat of terror, but argue that we should 'debunk the myth of al-Qaeda' (2).


There is a 'rooted public perception of what al-Qaeda is', says Dolnik, who is currently carrying out research on the Terrorism and Political Violence Programme at the Institute of Defence and Strategic Studies in Singapore; but, he says, such perceptions are far from accurate. Dolnik argues that where many imagine that al-Qaeda is 'a super organisation of thousands of super-trained and super-secret members who can be activated any minute', in fact it is better understood as something like a 'global ideology that has not only attracted many smaller regional groups, but has also facilitated the boom of new organisations that embrace this sort of radical and violent thinking'. Dolnik and others believe that, in many ways, the thing we refer to as 'al-Qaeda' is largely a creation of Western officials.


'Bin Laden never used the term al-Qaeda prior to 9/11', Dolnik tells me. 'Nor am I aware of the name being used by operatives on trial. The closest they came were in statements such as, "Yes, I am a member of what you call al-Qaeda". The only name used by al-Qaeda themselves was the World Islamic Front for the Struggle Against Jews and Crusaders - but I guess that's too long to really stick.'


So where did 'al-Qaeda' come from? Dolink says there are a number of theories - that the term was first used by bin Laden's spiritual mentor Abdullah Azzam, who wrote of al Qaeda al Sulbah, meaning the 'solid base', in 1988; or that it derives from a bin Laden-sponsored safehouse in Afghanistan in the 1980s, when he was part of the mujahideen fighting against the Soviet invasion, again referring to a physical 'base' rather than to a distinct organisation. But in terms of 'al-Qaeda' then being used to define a group of operatives around bin Laden - that, says Dolnik, originated in the West.


Al-Qaeda was used as a 'convenient label for a group that had no formal name'

'The US intelligence community used the term "al-Qaeda" for the first time only after the 1998 embassy bombings', he says, when suspected bin Laden followers detonated bombs at the American embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, killing 224 people. Dolnik says al-Qaeda was used as a 'convenient label for a group that had no formal name'. Prior to the 1998 bombings, US officials were concerned about Osama bin Laden and the financial backing he appeared to provide to Islamic terror groups - but they rarely, if ever, mentioned anything called 'al-Qaeda'.


According to British journalist Jason Burke, in his authoritative Al-Qaeda: Casting a Shadow of Terror, 'Al-Qaeda is a messy and rough designation, often applied carelessly in the absence of a more useful term' (3). Burke points out that while many think al-Qaeda is 'a terrorist organisation founded more than a decade ago by a hugely wealthy Saudi Arabian religious fanatic', in fact the term 'al-Qaeda' has only entered political and mainstream discussion fairly recently:


'American intelligence reports in the early 1990s talk about "Middle Eastern extremists…working together to further the cause of radical Islam", but do not use the term "al-Qaeda". After the attempted bombing of the World Trade Center in 1993, FBI investigators were aware of bin Laden but only "as one name among thousands". In the summer of 1995, during the trials of Islamic terrorists who had tried to blow up a series of targets in New York two years earlier, "Osam ben Laden" (sic) was mentioned by prosecutors once; "al-Qaeda" was not.'


Like Dolnik, Burke points out that the name al-Qaeda entered the popular imagination only after US officials used it to describe those who attacked the embassies in Africa. 'In the immediate aftermath of the double bombings, President Clinton merely described a "network of radical groups affiliated with and funded by Usama (sic) bin Laden"', writes Burke. 'Clinton talks of "the bin Laden network", not of "al-Qaeda". In fact, it is only during the FBI-led investigation into those bombings that the term first starts to be used to describe a traditionally structured terrorist organisation' (4). According to some experts, it was this naming of al-Qaeda by US officials that kickstarted the public's misunderstanding of Islamic terror groups. Dolnik points out that, while US officials talked up a structured group, this so-called al-Qaeda did not even have 'any sort of insignia - a phenomenon quite rare in the realm of terrorism'.


Having given bin Laden and his henchmen a name, Western officials then proceeded to exaggerate their threat. 'In the quest to define the enemy, the US and its allies have helped to blow it out of proportion', wrote Dolnik and Kimberly McCloud of the Monterey Institute in 2002. They pointed out that after 1998, US officials began distributing posters and matchboxes featuring bin Laden's face and a reward for his capture around the Middle East and Central Asia - a process that 'transformed this little-known jihadist into a household name and, in some places, a symbol of heroic defiance' (5).


Now, Dolnik says that Western officials have helped to blow al-Qaeda out of proportion in other ways, too - by 'the automatic attribution of credit to the group for disparate attacks; by making unintelligent and unqualified statements about the group's very basic "weapons of mass destruction" programme; by treating al-Qaeda as a super-organisation; by creating the impression that al-Qaeda can do just about anything'. As a result, al-Qaeda has been turned into something it is not. In the mid-1990s intelligence officials saw bin Laden as 'one name among thousands'; within a few years they had transformed him into a global threat who heads a ruthless, structured organisation that is capable of doing anything, anytime, anywhere.


Anybody can make an impact by claiming a link to the largely mythical al-Qaeda

This invention, or certainly exaggeration, of al-Qaeda is not only inaccurate; it also has a potentially destabilising effect, encouraging regional groups to act in the name of al-Qaeda in the knowledge that such actions will have a massive impact on our al-Qaeda-obsessed world. The talking up of al-Qaeda has created a kind of brand name, which can be invoked by small, isolated groups wishing to strike a blow beyond their means.


Consider the recent suicide bombings in Istanbul. Predictably, many in the West instantly attributed the attacks to al-Qaeda, though it has since emerged that the bombs were most likely made and detonated by local Turkish groups. However, at least three Turkish groups have claimed responsibility for the attacks in the name of al-Qaeda. The West's obsession with al-Qaeda has given terrorist outfits a convenient shortcut to grabbing the world's attention and scaring us senseless.


According to Dolnik: 'In a world where one email sent to a news agency translates into a headline stating that al-Qaeda was behind even the blackouts in Italy and the USA, anyone can claim to be al-Qaeda - not only groups but also individuals'.


Sajid Badat, the 24-year-old student arrested by British police in Gloucester yesterday, on suspicion of planning to carry out a terrorist attack, was immediately referred to in media reports as a 'suicide bomber' and 'al-Qaeda terrorist' - after it was revealed that he had boasted to college mates and neighbours: 'I'm in al-Qaeda.' Whatever the truth of the allegations against him, however, it is clear that anybody can make an impact today by claiming a link to the largely mythical al-Qaeda. The script for such claims has already been written, by fearful Western officials who have made 'al-Qaeda', whatever that might be, into an instantly recognisable, frightening, global phenomenon.


How can we challenge the widespread but warped understanding of what 'al-Qaeda' is? Dolnik worries that it might be 'too late', but he has some ideas: 'We could have a balanced assessment of the group's capabilities, including its embarrassing failures - some al-Qaeda plots were flat-out ridiculous. We could emphasise al-Qaeda's heretical nature within Islam, in order to decrease the overt support for the group among fellow Muslims who are forced to align "with us or against us". We could stop calling everything al-Qaeda does "new" or "unprecedented" - I am aware of at least 10 concrete plans to use aeroplanes to crash them into buildings and one actual successful attempt as far back as the 1976. And we could stop calling small amounts of recovered chemicals "chemical weapons" - without effective weaponisation, these are about as dangerous as bullets without a gun.'
