Prove us wrong! Prove us wrong! Prove us wrong!

And we hereby extend our $100,000 challenge to prove us wrong!

If all fossil fuels and their derivatives, as well as trees for paper and construction, were banned in order to save the planet, reverse the greenhouse effect and stop deforestation; then there is only one known annually renewable natural resource that is capable of providing the overall majority of the world's paper and textiles; meet all of the world's transportation, industrial and home energy needs, while simultaneously reducing pollution, rebuilding the soil and cleaning the atmosphere all at the same time... and that substance is the same one that has done it before... CANNABIS/HEMP/MARIJUANA!

CANNABIS/HEMP/MARIJUANA is the only known plant that can be grown from the Equator to the Arctic Circle and to the Antarctic Circle; from the mountains to the valleys, from the oceans to the plains, including arid lands and everywhere in between. CANNABIS/HEMP/MARIJUANA is the healthiest plant for the ground out of the 300,000 known species, and the millions and millions of subspecies, of plants on Earth, because it has a root system that grows 10 to 12 inches in 30 days compared to one inch for rye, barley grass, etc. The roots penetrate up to six feet deep, pulverizing the soil and making it arable. After harvest it leaves a root system that is mulched into the ground, revitalizing the land and making it live once again. It is the KING KONG of the King Kongs of all plant life.

All of my information about CANNABIS/HEMP/MARIJUANA has been taken from Federal and State Department of Agriculture reports, articles from Popular Mechanics, Popular Science, Pulp & Paper Magazine, Scientific American, entries from encyclopedias and pharmacopoeias, and studies from all over the world during the last 200 years. This is all public information. The United States government is hiding the fact that 125 years ago, and even as far back as 4000 BC, 80 percent of our economy was based on the use of CANNABIS/HEMP/MARIJUANA for paper, fiber and fuel. Ten to 20 percent of our drug economy was based on CANNABIS/HEMP/MARIJUANA medicines, 125 years ago.

CANNABIS/HEMP/MARIJUANA was part of our everyday life. Virtually every farm and every plot of land in the cities and towns across the United States and the world, from 100-125 years ago and before, had a CANNABIS/HEMP/MARIJUANA patch growing. The U.S. government's cover-up of CANNABIS/HEMP/MARIJUANA outrages me and it should outrage you, too. I have been studying CANNABIS/HEMP/MARIJUANA for over 30 years, and I can't believe how the U.S. government, in 90 seconds in Congress, could outlaw "MARIJUANA" in 1937, without the people realizing they were outlawing CANNABIS/HEMP, the most perfect plant for the planet! They even got other countries to outlaw it, too, after the Second World War and beyond. From 1740 to 1940, 80 percent of all the world's CANNABIS/HEMP/MARIJUANA was grown (mostly by Cossacks, who were indentured servants), and then imported from, Russia.

I will again reiterate a few of the facts about CANNABIS/HEMP/MARIJUANA, which you already know from reading my book, "The Emperor Wears No Clothes."

CANNABIS/HEMP/MARIJUANA was the NUMBER ONE annually renewable natural resource for 80 percent of all paper, fiber, textiles and fuel, from 6000 years ago until about 125 years ago. Furthermore, it was used for five to 50 percent of the food, light, land and soil reclamation, and even 20 percent or more of all medicine. Everyone, from the educated to the uneducated, the farmer to the townsperson, the doctors and the scientists used CANNABIS/HEMP/MARIJUANA products and depended on them.75 to 90 percent of all paper used from at least 100 AD to 1883 was made of CANNABIS/HEMP. Books, (including Bibles), money and newspapers all over the world have been mainly printed on CANNABIS/HEMP for as long as these things have existed in human history.

A hundred and 25 years ago, 70 to 90 percent of all rope, twine, cordage, ship sails, canvas, fiber, cloth, etc., was made out of CANNABIS/HEMP fiber! It was replaced by DuPont's newly discovered petrochemical fiber (nylon) beginning in 1937. By comparison, CANNABIS/HEMP is four times softer than cotton, four times warmer, four times more water absorbent, has three times the strength of cotton, is many times more durable, is flame retardant, and doesn't use pesticides. Fifty percent of all pesticides are used on cotton, yet cotton uses only one percent of the farmland in the U.S! CANNABIS/HEMP/MARIJUANA is the most health giving plant on Earth and it doesn't require pesticides or herbicides! It is the healthiest plant for human consumption, and for the Earth itself.

Eighty percent of our economy depended on CANNABIS/HEMP for paper, fiber and fuel, 125 years ago. At that time, it took 300 man-hours to harvest an acre of CANNABIS/HEMP, but with the invention of the brand new HEMP decorticator in the 1930s, it only took one & 1/2 to two hours. This is equivalent to reducing the labor burden from $6,000 down to $40 per acre, in today's money. Keep in mind that the cotton gin, in 1793, reduced the man-hours from 300 hours down to two hours to harvest and clean an acre of cotton. CANNABIS/HEMP would have taken over the cotton market, as it is far superior to cotton, and pesticide free. The role of CANNABIS/HEMP should be determined by market supply and demand and not by undue influence of prohibition laws, federal subsidies and huge tariffs that keep the natural from replacing the synthetic. I repeat, CANNABIS/HEMP/MARIJUANA is the KING KONG of the King Kongs of all plants!

Of all the 300,000 species of plants on Earth, no other plant source can compare with the nutritional value of CANNABIS/HEMP/MARIJUANA seeds. It is the only plant on Earth that provides us with the NUMBER ONE source, and the perfect balance of essential amino acids, essential fatty acids, globulin edestin protein, and essential oils all combined in one plant, and in a form which is most naturally digestible to our bodies.

Prior to the 1800s, CANNABIS/HEMPSEED oil was the NUMBER ONE source for lighting oil throughout the world. Until 1937-38, even paints and varnishes were 80 percent CANNABIS/HEMPSEED oil. CANNABIS/HEMP/MARIJUANA is non-toxic and has been used to make high-grade diesel fuel, oil, aircraft and precision oil and even the NUMBER ONE vegetable oil. The U.S. Army/Navy standards purchasing specifications list HEMP OIL as the NUMBER ONE preferred lubricant for their machinery. CANNABIS/HEMP is the best sustainable source of plant pulp for biomass fuel to make charcoal, gas, methanol, gasoline and electricity in a natural way.

In 1850, 80 percent of all paper, fiber, fuel, and oil were made out of CANNABIS/HEMP in America and the rest of the world. This was before the discovery of coal and petroleum for energy in the late 1850s...before the start of the worst permanent pollution ever experienced on Earth... fossil fuel pollution (coal and petroleum)!!

As a medicine, the worldwide use of CANNABIS/HEMP/MARIJUANA goes back at least 6000 years. Remember, 10 to 20 percent of our medicines used to be CANNABIS/HEMP/MARIJUANA based medicines. It has been found to be healthy and effective in the treatment of chronic pain, cancer, strokes, glaucoma, multiple sclerosis, sickle cell anemia, AIDS wasting and many other illnesses, including simple nausea, appetite stimulant, anxiety and muscle pains, etc.

On September 6, 1988, the Drug Enforcement Administration's Chief Administrative Law Judge, Francis L. Young, ruled: "Marijuana, in its natural form, is one of the safest therapeutically active substances known to man," and asked the Drug Enforcement Administration to reschedule it. The DEA refused, keeping it as a Schedule I drug, which they say "has no known medical use"! Thousands of studies have been done all over the world, documenting the medical use of MARIJUANA (England, Spain, Hungary, Holland, and the U.S., just to name a few). No one has ever died from MARIJUANA in over 6000 years of recorded history... unless they were shot by a COP!

CANNABIS/HEMP/MARIJUANA was also used for land reclamation until 1915. CANNABIS/HEMP was planted or left to grow feral as ground cover and on riverbanks, and not intended for harvest. It is the NUMBER ONE plant in history used to prevent mudslides and loss of watershed, and river and soil erosion on Earth. It has been illegal to grow this #1 plant in the United States since 1937.What disgusts me the most is how the U.S. government, as well as the people, knew about CANNABIS/HEMP/MARIJUANA and praised its value and then look what happened! In literally 90 seconds, the Marijuana Tax Act of 1937 passed in Congress. By using the unknown name "MARIJUANA" instead of the familiar name "CANNABIS HEMP", Congress was able to accomplish this because no one knew what plant they were talking about. CANNABIS/HEMP became illegal and was replaced by petrochemical products, coal and natural gas. They made it such a banned and forbidden plant that the words "HEMP" and "CANNABIS/HEMP" were not even taught in schools from the 1940s, 50s and thereafter.

The role of CANNABIS/HEMP/MARIJUANA was erased from America's history (as well as most of the rest of the world's) after 1945. To prove it, think... what did you learn about CANNABIS/HEMP in grade school? High school? College? From your parents and grandparents? Nothing! (Unless it was from the underground press within the last fifteen to twenty years.) The continuing suppression of this information by the U.S. government places us all in mortal jeopardy. I believe that, in order to save our planet, we
must use non-fossil fuel energy. CANNABIS/HEMP/MARIJUANA, in conjunction with wind, solar, tidal and hydroelectric power, could save the planet by providing all of our energy, fuel, paper, fiber, and 10 to 20 percent of our medical needs, naturally. It would
also reduce acid rain and chemical pollution, rebuild the soil, and reverse the greenhouse effect (no other plant can do this!). CANNABIS/HEMP/MARIJUANA was used to make over 25,000 products before it was outlawed in 1937.

Why does the U.S. government want to eradicate this seed, out of all the seeds on Earth? They want to kill the most perfect plant on the planet. We must stop this insanity and demand that the laws against CANNABIS/HEMP/MARIJUANA be one hundred percent repealed!!

Federal Attorney General John Ashcroft, Drug Enforcement Administration head, Asa Hutchison, and White House Drug Czar, John Walters, have been given all of these proven facts and yet are still set against the legalization of CANNABIS/HEMP/MARIJUANA and recognition of CANNABIS/HEMP/MARIUANA knowledge. For whatever personal reasons, they refuse to believe the facts and are willing to sacrifice the future of our planet and the health of our people by keeping it illegal.

The ban of CANNABIS/HEMP/MARIJUANA is so extreme and its intention is to hide the truth. The truth is that out of the 300,000 species, and the millions and millions of subspecies, of plants on Earth, CANNABIS/HEMP/MARIJUANA is the NUMBER ONE plant for our survival and quality of life here on Earth. Since September 11, 2001, the U.S. government and Attorney General John Ashcroft have been calling MARIJUANA users "terrorists" and yet the government of the United States has been "terrorizing" MARIJUANA users for the last 65 years! There have been over 14 million arrests for CANNABIS/HEMP/MARIJUANA in the last 65 years, in the U.S. alone! 13 million were within the last 30 years!

No one has taken the $100,000 challenge to prove me wrong. Why? Because I am right. The U.S. government has been lying to us since the early 1900s. Do economic interests and the police have more to say than the people about the future of our planet? How angry are you for being lied to by the U.S. government about CANNABIS/HEMP/MARIJUANA? Are you willing to make a stand right now? No one can dispute this information and knowledge. YOU have to join me in this fight. Either you are on the U.S. government's side or you are on my side.

Whether they're dispatching a fleet of garbage trucks or a team of bail-bond collectors, managers love the idea of knowing where their "assets" are.

The popularity of GPS in the workplace parallels its growth in the consumer realm: By 2006, according to some estimates, 4 out of 5 new vehicles will come equipped with the technology.

Zatracený datle
Vývody pana Ladislava Kozáka (ad datle) ZDE, že inkriminované žluté datle na pozadí fotografií U.S. vojáků, odhalujících Saddámovu zemljanku, mohou pocházet z prosince, jsou založeny na mylné interpretaci uvedeného internetového zdroje ZDE, konstatuje Jiří Táborský:

Khalal není odrůda datle, ale první stadium dozrávání datlí [1. v originálním textu uvedeného zdroje: "Barhee. This variety is harvested and consumed at an unripe yellow stage (Khalal)". 2. Adel A. Kader, Department of Pomology, University of California: "A small quantity of dates is harvested at the "Khalal" stage (partially-ripe) when they are yellow or red (depending on cultivar), but many consumers find them astringent (high tannin content). Most dates are harvested at the fully-ripe "Rutab" and "Tamar" stages, when they have much greater levels of sugars, lower moisture and tannin content, and softer than the "Khalal" stage dates."].

Překlad: "barhee. Tento druh se sklízí a konzumuje v nezralém, žluté stadiu (Khalal.) 2. Adel A. Kader, katedra pomologie, univerzita v Kalifornii: "Malé množství datlí se sklízí v etapě "khalal" (jsou částečně zralé), když jsou žluté či červené, ale mnoho spotřebitelů je shledává trpkými (vysoký obsah taninu). Většina datlí se sklízí v plně zralém stadiu "rutab" a "tamar", kdy mají daleko vyšší obsah cukru, nižší obsah vlkhosti a taninu a jsou měkčí, než datle v etapě ''khalal'."

Barhee je odrůda, která se sklízí nezralá (a pouze v tomto stadiu je jasně žlutá jako na oné fotografii); v jižním Iráku v červenci-září, pravděpodobně o něco málo později v severnějším Tikritu. Rozhodně ne v listopadu nebo dokonce v prosinci, kdy byl Saddám prohlášenen polapeným americkou armádou. S velkou pravděpodobností to tedy vypadá, že školáckým nedopatřením vyfotografované datle dávají zobrazenou situaci jednoznačně do rozporu s Rumsfeldovo a Bushovo pravdomluvností. Zatracený datle.

Iranian air force chief: Israel to ''dig own grave'' if nuclear sites attacked

Israel "will dig its own grave" if it attacks Iranian nuclear sites, the head of the Iranian air force General Seyed Reza Pardis told a news agency close to members of the Islamic republic's regime.

"The threats of the Zionist regime hold no value for us," Pardis was quoted as saying by Mehr news agency in reaction to statements issued recently by Israeli Defence Minister Saul Mofaz.

"The (Zionist) regime knows that the armed forces of the Islamic republic, in particular our air force, have such high capabilities...that it would be digging its own grave in the region if it launches military attacks against Iran," Pardis made clear. (Albawaba.com)

Police call for remote button to stop cars

Motorists face new 'Big Brother' technology

Juliette Jowit, transport editor
Sunday December 21, 2003
The Observer

After speed cameras, road humps and mobile phone bans, there could be more bad news for Britain's motorists. Police are urging Ministers to give them the power to stop vehicles by remote control.

In what will be seen as yet another example of the in-creasing power of Big Brother, drivers face the prospect of their cars being halted by somebody pushing a button.

The police lobby is being led by Superintendent Jim Hammond of Sussex police, who chairs an Association of Chief Police Officers technology working group which is examining the idea.

'Providing an effective means to remotely stop a vehicle is fast becoming a priority,' Hammond told a European conference. 'The development of a safe and controlled system to enable remote stopping has the potential to directly save lives.'

However, Bert Morris, deputy director of the AA Motoring Trust said: 'People don't like the idea of Big Brother taking over their driving. In years to come that might be acceptable, but it's very, very important that there's a step-by-step approach.'

Cars could be stopped by the gradual reduction of engine power so it slowly comes to a stop, or by making sure when drivers come to a halt they can not move again.

Stopping cars remotely sounds futuristic, but the basic technology is already available and used in lorries to limit the top speed to 56mph and in new systems to immobilise stolen cars.

The key is the electronics box in most new cars which, when the driver presses the accelerator or brake, sends a message to the engine to speed up or slow down. It can be programmed to limit the speed generally or according to the position of the car, established via a GPS satellite. For remote operation, a modem, which works like a mobile phone, can be used tell the car to slow down or stop.

Similar radio telemetry was used by Formula One pit crews to adjust the engines of racing cars at up to 200mph - until it was banned this year.

'The technology exists and will become more refined as time goes on,' said Nick Rendell, managing director of the Siemens business developing this technology in the UK.

Time Person of Year: The American soldier

Sunday, December 21, 2003 Posted: 8:42 AM EST (1342 GMT)



NEW YORK (AP) -- The American soldier, who bears the duty of "living with and dying for a country's most fateful decisions," was named Sunday as Time magazine's Person of the Year.

...

http://www.cnn.com/2003/US/12/21/person.of.year.ap/index.html

...

But perhaps the mother of all conspiracy theories, is the one about the pictures distributed by the Americans showing the hideout with a palm tree behind the soldier who uncov ered the hole where Saddam was hiding. The palm carried a cluster of pre-ripened yellow dates, which might suggest that Saddam was arrested at least three months earlier, because dates ripen in the summer when they turn into their black or brown colour.

Those who buy into such an explanation conclude that Saddam’s capture was stage-managed and his place of arrest probably elsewhere. All fanciful stuff. But as is so often the case, the real chain of events is likely to be far more mundane.

Would a microchip keep your child safe?

By Megan Lane
BBC News Online Magazine

Transmitter chips and GPS trackers are devices designed to help to trace a child's whereabouts. But do hi-tech solutions raise more problems than they solve?

A month after the bodies of Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman were found in a remote ditch, a cybernetics professor known for his headline-grabbing stunts came up with a plan to microchip children to prevent them being abducted.

Professor Kevin Warwick, of Reading University, convinced the Duval family that a microchip implanted in their 11-year-old daughter Danielle's arm would ease their fears.

The youngster was nervous about going out alone, following media coverage of the Soham case.

If she went missing with a chip installed, it would send a signal via mobile phone networks to a computer, which would pinpoint her location on an electronic map.

Dates Clash With Saddam's Day of Destiny

P.K. Abdul Ghafour, Arab News Staff



Two US soldiers are seen in front of a palm tree with ripe dates near the mud hole where former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein was found on Saturday. (AFP)



JEDDAH, 18 December 2003 — The picture of a palm tree with ripe dates near the mud hole where Saddam Hussein was hiding has given rise to speculation that the arrest may have taken place two months ago.

“The yellowish dates in the picture behind two American soldiers show that Saddam was not present there at this time of the year,” Okaz Arabic daily reported. “The picture shows that the capture of Saddam would have taken place two months ago,” the paper said.

Many Arabs have been spreading this theory through the Internet. A person, who identified himself as Sunaid Quraish, asked “Does the presence of a palm tree with ripe dates in the place where Saddam was arrested have any special significance? Was he captured months ago? Is there some scandalous story behind the capture?”

Adel wrote in his e-mail message, “The Americans forgot about the dates when they staged the drama but the date season ended months ago.” Many Arabs, however, refused to get involved in this particular theory. Abu Mishaal pointed out that the uniforms, which the soldiers were wearing, indicated that the capture took place in winter. Al-Watan Arabic newspaper said, quoting its Baghdad reporter, that the Iraqis had paid no attention to the date theory.

Hatem Al-Natour, an agriculture engineer at the Arabian Company for Agricultural Systems in Riyadh, said ripe dates could be seen on date palms in summer. “Summer is the season when dates ripen under the sun,” he pointed out. Muhammad Al-Dossary, however, who has been engaged in date cultivation in the Aflaj region for several years, pointed out that there is a special kind of date, “hilali”, which yields its fruits at this time of the year.

Iraq is the native place of hilali dates which are now found in Saudi Arabia and other countries, Dossary told Al-Eqtisadiah, a sister publication of Arab News. “Even yesterday I ate hilali dates taken from the tree,” he told the newspaper. The season for dates is usually between June and July but in some countries, the date ripening period may be extended.

Chemické zbraně nevadí, řekl kdysi Rumsfeld

20.12.2003 00:01 -

Nynější americký ministr obrany Donald Rumsfeld v roce 1984 při návštěvě Bagdádu ujišťoval Saddámův režim, že americké prohlášení odsuzující používání chemických zbraní Irákem neznamená zhoršení vztahů mezi oběma zeměmi.

chat: Irák po válce.

Podle prestižního deníku The Washington Post to vyplývá ze zveřejněných dokumentů ministerstva zahraničí USA. V současnosti byl Rumsfeld naopak jedním z hlavních iniciátorů války v Iráku.

Tenkrát však měl jako zvláštní emisar pro Blízký východ od tehdejšího prezidenta Ronalda Reagana instrukci sdělit Iráčanům, že prohlášení USA proti užívání chemických zbraní neovlivní přání americké administrativy "zlepšovat bilaterální vztahy" s Bagdádem.

Saddám v té době vedl válku s Íránem a používal v ní také chemické zbraně. Ty rovněž nasadil proti kurdskému obyvatelstvu na severu země.

Washington tenkrát Saddáma podporoval z obavy, že se íránský náboženský režim snaží šířit radikální islám i do sousedních zemí. Rumsfeld Irák navštívil v prosinci 1983 a v březnu 1984 znovu, a to s úkolem přesvědčit Azíze, aby Bagdád obnovil diplomatické styky s USA.

Když byl nedávno Rumsfeld novináři dotazován na svou návštěvu v Bagdádu v roce 1983, prohlásil, že tehdy varoval Saddáma před použitím chemických zbraní. To však nebyla pravda, jak ukazují USA, napsal The Washington Post.

Saddam Smoking Gun: Dates in December?



Liberty Think

One spoor that has created the greatest suspicion in my mind about the capture of Saddam is the CIA picture of two soldiers holding the styrofoam plug that concealed the "spider hole."

You'll note the clump of dates hanging from a date palm in the background.

I've lived in date growing regions long enough to know that dates begin to come out early in the summer and are ready to pick in July or August. If left unharvested, dates slowly ripen from a firmness like that of ripe apples to a softer, ever more sugary consistency. Left alone they will drop off the tree as big sugary globs that birds and wildlife will prey upon, leaving piles of pits. And that's what you should find in December hanging from a date palm - nothin'.

I called an Iraqi friend of mind and asked him if, to his knowledge, there was any variety of dates in Iraq in which the tree held on to its fruit so very late in the season. His answer was an unequivocal, "No."

This jpg was posted on La Voz de Aztlan today under the title "The Saddam Hussein Capture Hoax."

Dates also appear in this AP photo published in the Altanta Journal-Constitution

The Denton Record-Chronicle tells us that "A bountiful date harvest is one of the few good things about being in Iraq during the searing month of August."

V New Yorku představen definitivní projekt Věže svobody

NEW YORK 19. prosince (ČTK) - Věž svobody (Freedom Tower), která nahradí dvojčata Světového obchodního střediska zřícené po teroristickém útoku z 11. září 2001, bude se svými 541 metry údajně nejvyšším a nejbezpečnějším mrakodrapem na světě. Definitivní projekt představili v New Yorku architekti Daniel Liebeskind a David Childs.

Stavba bude mít symbolickou výšku 1776 stop, což je rok vyhlášení nezávislosti USA. Na vrcholu bude umístěna velká asymetrická a průhledná špice, která bude mírně skloněna k západu jako "moderní symbolická připomínka" pochodně sochy Svobody před newyorským přístavem. S touto spirálovitou konstrukcí bude mít mrakodrap 610 metrů. Ve vlastní stavbě bude ale pouze 70 pater kanceláří, ostatní prostor bude volný nebo využíván k jiným účelům. Například zde budou větrné turbíny, které mají mrakodrapu vyrábět vlastní energii. Na vrcholu bude opět vyhlídková terasa, jaká byla i na dvojčatech WTC, a slavná restaurace Okna do světa, umístěná dříve v severní věži dvojčat.

Ideovým tvůrcem návrhu je Liebeskind, jehož představy realizačně dopracoval Childs. "Věž splňuje nejsofistikovanější normy z hlediska koncepce, bezpečnosti, kvality a technologie, aby se mohla stát nejvyšší budovou světa," řekl při prezentaci Childs. "Jako celek bude lidi shromažďovat, bude tedy místem otevírání se světu spíše než uzavírání," dodal.

Podle newyorského guvernéra George Patakiho "věž ukazuje světu, jak je New York silný a kolik má sebedůvěry". "Je to pocta hrdinům, které jsme ztratili, svobodě a naší zemi. Je to symbol vynalézavosti New Yorku a celé Ameriky," dodal.

9/11 conspiracy theory debated

By Stavroula Papadopoulos

A United States (U.S.) government conspiracy theory behind the September 11 attacks was the topic addressed in the movie entitled Aftermath: Unanswered Questions from 9/11, as well as in the panel discussion that followed the screening at Concordia.

"Unequivocally, 9/11 is a U.S.-intelligence sponsored toy," said Michel Chossudovsky, economics professor at the University of Ottawa and editor of the Center for Research on Globalization.

Monday's event was organized by Cinema Politica. It presented three short films in addition to its main presentation, all made by Guerrilla News Network (GNN), an independent alternative news organization and video design boutique.

Stephen Marshall, director of Aftermath, was the second panelist. Marshall is also the director of GNN and the creator of Channel Zero.

Aftermath featured nine people answering 11 questions that emanate from 9/11. These questions challenged the official version of the events of that day and its warning signs.

Mary Schiavo, aviation disaster attorney, argued that airlines should have been better prepared because of the hijackings that occurred on Sept. 12, 1970. Nafeez Ahmed, author of The War on Freedom, said that there was an unusual 30 minute delay in the U.S. military interception response; when it normally only takes 10 minutes to react. David McMichael, former CIA analyst, looked at the administrative response to the military failures of that day. The then General Richard B. Myers has since been promoted, and the military budget was increased from $10 billion to $35 billion.

Chossudovsky is also featured in the movie and he dealt with the ties between the U.S. and the terrorists. He said that Mahmoud Ahmad, pin-pointed by the U.S. government as the money-man behind the attacks, was in Washington with top U.S. officials from Sept. 4 to 13, 2001.

Riva Enteen, of the National Lawyer's Guild, dealt with recent legislation like the Patriot Act and the Homeland Security. She said the Patriot Act "dismantles the constitution," and moves more power to the justice department. The words used in the new legislation are often vague and could extent to consider protesters, or the like, to be engaging in illegal activities. "Dissent has never been more critical," said Enteen.

During the panel discussion, Chossudovsky talked about the Project for the New American Century (PNAC), which, one year before the election of George W. Bush, outlined a road map to war. Chossudovsky said that the PNAC reads: "we need a Pearl Harbor type of event to harvest public opinion in support of the war agenda."

He believes that "Al-Qaeda and the Bush administration still work hand-in-hand."

He believes it to be naïve to think that the links that existed between U.S. ventures and Al-Qaeda prior to 9/11 have all been cut off.

Chossudovsky argued that the Red Cross was attacked by coalition forces and not by Osama bin Laden. He relates the second Red Cross attack to the first.

"I don't have the proof, but I strongly suspect that this was a U.S.-sponsored intelligence operation," he said. This would reduce the ability of the Red Cross to monitor war crimes in Iraq, thereby, allowing the U.S. administration to call the shots.

During the question period, this view was particularly challenged by Concordia student Samer Elatrash. He said that the panelists' approach to 9/11 was "stretching" reality. "You're relying on very tenuous evidence," he said.

"To blame the Red Cross bombings on American forces, you're really taking away from any agency of [the Iraqi] people. There are a lot of Iraqi resistance cells," he said, "but they're not as neat and as logical as you'd have us believe."

Ron Gous, computer and airline consultant, also challenged the speakers by saying that there was not enough time between the two planes hitting the Two Towers for the U.S. military to react.

Near the end of the lecture, a man in the audience got increasingly impatient and aggravated. He wanted to know, for a fact, whether or not the Bush administration had prior knowledge to the 9/11 attacks.

Chossudovsky said it is not a simple issue with straightforward answers. "I understand that this information is very hard to swallow, but it is all fact," he said.

Col. Hickey tells his troops to keep quiet about Saddam capture

It sounds to me that Hickey is giving them what turned out to be the official story before warning them to shut up about what really happened. Why would Hickey need to tell them that he was found 'literally hiding in a hole' if they had found him? They would already know this. This is consistent with reports claiming Saddam was handed over to the US by Kurdish militia on November 20-23.

The Overthrow Of The, American Republic - Part 45

Saddam, Prisoner Of Carlyle Group

By Sherman H. Skolnick

12-16-3

As usual, the Liars and Whores of the Press promote the Big Lie as to the secret team that snatched Saddam Hussein.

Some claim the unit was not fully informed, other than they had a high priority target. And there are contentions that the unit, part of the American CIA, came within a few seconds of misguidedly hurling a grenade down into the "spider hole" in which Saddam was kept as a prisoner. Left unsaid by the oil-soaked, spy-riddled monopoly press is that Saddam was being kept as a prisoner buried in a grave-like hole, breathing air through a tube to the surface, rather than the media fairy tal that he was simply hiding.

WHY?

The reasons for having kept Saddam a prisoner under such circumstrances, and elsewhere kept for some time in captivity, revolve around his huge worldwide properties. Through some of his relatives, and through secret trust accounts and agreements, and through secret bank accounts and other financial intermediaries, Saddam Hussein has been a major stockholder/bond holder, through nominees, front persons, and other ways to conceal ownership, of and in the following, among his other worldwide properties:

===as owner of Daimler-Chrysler, maker of Mercedes Benz car and trucks and through cars and products of Chrysler. Supposedly, if Saddam was not held prisoner as he was for some time prior to be removed from the hole near a farm house, on the outskirts of his home-town of Tikrit, Saddam could come to a meeting of Daimler's Board of Directors and demand to sit down as a duly authorized member of the Board, Saddam being a major owner of the firm.

===Hachette, the foreign firm,owning, among other things, magazines in the U.S. and elsewhere. In the U.S., Saddam's firm owned George Magazine, now defunct, the editor of which was John F. Kennedy, Jr. In 1999, as the son of assassinated President John . Kennedy, Junior was fighting around with magazine owner Hachette which was planning to cease publication of George magazine on or about December, 1999. Junior claimed this would violate his contract and agreement with Hachette.

John F. Kennedy, Jr., was secretly intending to use the magazine to publicize at least two otherwise censored stories. (A) As to who-all was complicit in the murder of his father, including the Bush Crime Family, particularly Daddy Bush, the Texas oil tycoons tied to Daddy Bush and then Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson, as well as some owners of the Federal Reserve key unit, the Federal Reserve District Bank of New York.

Just prior to being assassinated, President Kennedy issued an Executive Order, under a little-known provision, authorizing him to issue hundreds of millions of dollars of genuine U.S. paper money, principally two-dollar bills, in opposition to the Federal Reserve private paper money masquerading as "the U.S. Dollar".[More details in Part 42 of this website series, sub-titled "The Public Execution of John F. Kennedy". And, as archived through MAIN PAGE, left-hand side of same CLICK on COLUMNISTS Sherman Skolnick at http://www.rense.com/

And further, (B) For JFK, Jr., planning to use George Magazine to publicize, as he knew, the treasonous arrangements of Daddy Bush with Saddam Hussein. Junior was threatening, to keep Hachette from suspending publication of George Magazine, to publicize Daddy Bush's private business partner, Saddam, as a major owner of Hachette. Also, to expose the long-time trickery and game-playing by Saddam by, for, and with the American CIA and Daddy Bush and his various business pals including Carlyle Group.

The monopoly press, belatedly ran a story of Saddam's more than 40 year role with the American CIA. United Press International, UPI. AFTER the U.S. as a pre-emptive strike, not by a Declaration of War, invaded Iraq, ran a story of the secret role of Saddam with the American CIA. The UPI story, April 10, 2003, had an opening statement in a detailed article "U.S. forces in Baghdad might now be searching high and low for Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein, but in the past Saddam was seen by U.S. intelligence services as a bulwark of anti-communism and they used him as their instrument for more than 40 years, according to former U.S. intelligence diplomats and intelligence officials." UPI goes on to point out that Saddam, at a very young age, was made by CIA, a part of an assassination team in 1959, trying to murder the Iraqi Monarch running the country. Saddam, apparently incompetent to do so, failed.

Also, visit our website story "The Secrets of Timothy McVeigh", where we point out the secret private business partnership in the billions of dollars between Daddy Bush and Saddam Hussein, as shown by suppressed records of a Chicago unit of an Italian bank owned in part by the Vatican. It became the subject of a Chicago Federal Court lawsuit where we were the only journalists attending a key hearing in the
litigation and in the back of the courtroom we interviewed participants.

As to the murder of JFK, Jr., by a sabotaged airplane, visit our website series, "What Happened to America's Golden Boy". The series has the substance of a secret FBI report of what happened. Also, in the series, the aborted attempt, one week apart in July, 1999, to first assassinate Vice President Albert Gore, Jr., intending to be a candidate for President, and then succeeding in murdering John F. Kennedy, Jr., who was himself secretly planning to be a candidate for President in the year 2000.

===ownership by Saddam of Fairchild Missiles, of italy.

===ownersip by Saddam of Matra, the Paris-based firm operating, by satellite, among other things, the "People Mover" System at O'Hare International Airport, Chicago,a light railway transporting passengers and baggage between the airport terminals and the airplanes. Hey, with Saddam owning this system, what is all this talk about "terrorists" at airports?

So, Saddam Hussein was being kept as a prisoner in a grave-like hole, called by a top U.S. Military Officer as a "spider hole", where Saddam himself could NOT get out. Saddam Hussein was being kept as a prisoner by surrogates, including Saddam's relatives as CIA contract employees, for CARLYLE GROUP.

Carlyle is run by by a group of top level stooges for the American/British aristocracy, including a former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, a former top official of the American CIA, Daddy Bush, and others jointly with Saudi Royals. Carlyle is a sinister worldwide operation to take over war production firms, among others and reportedly by corruption, squeeze war contracts out of the Pentagon. Among other things, Carlyle reportedly owns in great part a sinister manufacturer of anthrax vaccine---Are THEY the cause in part of strange illnesses and deaths among U.S. Military? Visit Part Three of the Overthrow series, subtitled "The Anthrax Commissars".


By holding Saddam Hussein as a prisoner for many months before he was removed from the grave-like hole he was kept in(somewhat similar to a Viet Cong "tiger cage" for humans), and in other places where he was kept captive, Carlyle Group was determined to force Saddam somehow to divulge his portion of at least a two-part series of codes into Saddam's vast ownership of worldwide properties.

The other half of the secret codes has been kept by Saddam's half-brother who resided in Switzerland. That relative, according to European sources, made public statements in the 1990s, that were Saddam to be harmed or assassinated by the American CIA, that the relative would release secret records of the Bush Crime Family's treason, requiring that they be subject to criminal prosecution, as shown by their worldwide 25 secret accounts.

Late in the 1990s, that relative's great bunch of documents fell into our possession. We began posting them early in 2000, ON-LINE as attached to our website series "Greenspan Aids and Bribes Bush".The records are in two parts. First, there are the hand-written notes of the head of the Internal Affairs Division of the U.S. Treasury, analyzing with codes the Bush Crime Family's secret 25 worldwide accounts. Then there are the secret Federal Reserve wire transfer records, under the secret code of Alan Greenspan, Fed Commissar, showing the worldwide accounts of the Bush Crime Family.

One document shows the Bush Crime Family with their joint account with Queen Elizabeth II, of ONE HUNDRED BILLION DOLLARS, in HER private bank, Coutts Bank London. Part of that sum belongs to Saddam Hussein. There are related documents in our website series. Also, the Hundred Billion Dollar document is archived throughhttp://www.cloakanddagger.ca/ the website of a radio program where I am a regular participant. In the Financial Times of London, December 19, 2001, is a story how Queen Elizabeth II ordered the head of her bank to go and become an official of Carlyle Group.

Thus, the secret codes of the vast ownership of Saddam's worldwide properties are divided in at the minimum, two parts, One, with Saddam's half-brother, the other with Saddam himself. Shortly after the U.S. without resistance captured Baghdad (the top Iraqi military were bribed by the American CIA and the Iraqis and their families taken to safety and profitable refuge in the U.S.), Saddam's half-brother mysteriously showed up in Baghdad where he was seized by the American CIA and put into captivity.

The sinister, war-mongering, worldwide octopus, Carlyle Group, has been in the process of keeping Saddam as a prisoner, in a grave-long hole and elsewhere. To facilitate surveillance of Saddam's captivity by satellite imaging, a orange and white taxicab was parked, for example, nearby to the "spider hole" at the ramshackle farm house.

Will Carlyle Group succeed in extracting, from Saddam, his part of the secret codes to unlock the details of his worldwide properties, so they can reportedly be stolen by the Bush Crime family jointly with the Carlyle Group?

Acting as a "terrorist" stooge for the Carlyle Group/Bush Crime Family/Saudi Royal Family Bankers/American CIA, has been Osama bin Laden, originally an inhabitant of Saudi. Convenient to this adjunct nest of the American/British aristocracy is the mass media and their accusation, repeatedly using the word "terrorist", of "Osama did it!" This, as an excuse to cancel the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights (as outlined in this website series).

WILL THE CARLYLE GROUP GET ALL THE SECRET CODES of Saddam's worldwide properties?

Naive and foolish folks repeatedly heckle us why we do not make these details "available" to the mass media. To state an answer bluntly if not crudely, we try to be polite in responding to assholes. Evidently, we sometimes do not succeed. Plainly said, the monopoly press has dumbed down America.

More coming. Stay tuned

Saddam 'capture' anomalies

1. Saddam video looks like weekly health inspection

An anonymous commentator at memes.org observes:
Have you EVER seen a good Muslim, still living within 50 or 60 feet of soap and water, REFUSE TO USE IT? The only place I know that Muslims were restricted from access to shaving utensils was Guantanamo Bay. . .

Did anyone see how readily, meekly, expectantly Saddam opened his mouth on the alleged "day" or even "moment" of capture to a stranger in the American military? If I were Saddam and I'd killed 1,000,000 people, I'd be a little paranoid about an American (?) Dentist openining my mouth.

Not only was Saddam COOPERATIVE, he was actually telling the service memeber where it hurt! I say service member because I have to wonder what outfit that man was from? Where was his TUNIC? He's treating a non-surrendered head of state and he's not even wearing his tunic? And why wasn't important for Iraq to surrender formally? Has ANYONE EVER asked that question? (That's another memer-buster!) Was he military? medical? an Officer? What rank? Was he Dental? Why did it appear insignias were removed to avoid indicating his assignment? It wouldn't be strange at all...because Saddam knew this person and trusted this person and had seen this person before on several occasions.

Saddam looked like he had been out in the SUNSHINE for several weeks...that's the "homeless" look that everyone instantly recognizes. It does NOT look like he has been in a hole for several months! He would be pale and ashen! . . .

Today Bush said that it was a "scavenger" hunt...that "a man can crawl in a hole" and "like a scavenger hunt...we can find him". . .

THEY Just say that BUSH WAS INFORMED THAT SADDAM HAD BEEN PULLED FROM THE HOLE ON SUNDAY WHILE HE WAS AT CAMP DAVID. I understand that. . . because the last time Bush heard about Saddam, he was being pushed INTO the "Spider" hole. Spider Web of deceit and lies -- for Bush.

In most "scavenger hunts" the objects to be found are "salted" away BEFORE the "players" start to look!

People, Saddam Hussein was FLOWN BACK TO IRAQ

U.S. Rep. Ray LaHood held his thumb and forefinger slightly apart and said, "We're this close" to catching Saddam Hussein. . . said the five-term Republican congressman from Peoria who serves on the House Intelligence Committee.

A member of The Pantagraph editorial board -- not really expecting an answer -- asked LaHood for more details, saying, "Do you know something we don't?"

"Yes I do," replied LaHood.

Feds: We'll imprison you without trial as long as we like

AP 2003 12 17

U.S. citizens classified as enemy combatants have to wait to get an attorney until they've provided intelligence to the government under a Bush administration policy that critics say treads on constitutional rights.

"It appears to be a very one-sided administration policy that places a U.S. citizen at the government's mercy. . ."

The government argues in federal courts that it has an absolute right to deny access to lawyers for enemy combatants, including U.S. citizens, and that such a decision is not subject to review by judges. . . .

While Saddam was Captured: Stealth enactment of the "Patriot II" legislation

Various Sources

While CNN and other media outlets are rejoicing because of the capture of Saddam Hussein, Bush again introduced new legislation last Saturday which increased the federal powers to investigate and reduces the privacy rights of American citizens :

H.R. 2417, INTELLIGENCE AUTHORIZATION AGREEMENT OF 2004

Whitehouse Statement on HR 2417 (December 13, 2003)
http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2003/12/20031213-3.html

HR 2417 was cleared by the Congress on November 21, 2003
http://www.cbo.gov/showdoc.cfm?index=4862&sequence=0

Comments of Ron Paul, Congressman for Texas on HR 2417 :
It appears we are witnessing a stealth enactment of the enormously unpopular "Patriot II" legislation that was first leaked several months ago. Perhaps the national outcry when a draft of the Patriot II act was leaked has led its supporters to enact it one piece at a time in secret. Whatever the case, this is outrageous and unacceptable. I urge each of my colleagues to join me in rejecting this bill and its incredibly dangerous expansion of Federal police powers.

Bush signs bill extending FBI powers

Associated Press

WASHINGTON -- President Bush has signed legislation making it easier for FBI agents investigating terrorism to demand financial records from casinos, car dealerships, and other businesses.

The changes were included in a bill authorizing 2004 intelligence programs. Most of the details of the bill are secret, including the total cost of the programs, which are estimated to be about $40 billion. That would be slightly more than Bush had requested.

Bush signed the bill Saturday, the White House announced.

The bill expands the number of businesses from which the FBI and other US authorities conducting intelligence work can demand financial records without seeking court approval.

Under current law, "national security letters" can be issued to traditional financial institutions, such as banks and credit unions, to require them to turn over information. The bill expands the definition of financial institution to include other businesses that deal with large amounts of cash.

Supporters of the change say it will help authorities identify money laundering and other activities that fund terrorism. But some lawmakers and civil liberties advocates say the change does not provide enough safeguards to ensure that authorities will not violate the privacy of innocent people.

In other provisions, the bill:

Requires the CIA director to prepare a report as soon as possible on what intelligence agencies have learned from their experiences in Iraq.

Creates a Treasury Department office to work with intelligence agencies on fighting terrorist financing.

Creates pilot programs to share raw data between agencies.

Authorizes agencies to continue research on computerized terrorism surveillance suspended by the Pentagon.

Police to widen the City's 'ring of steel'

By Ross Lydall Local Government Correspondent, Evening Standard
18 December 2003

The "ring of steel" security cordon around the City is being extended in response to growing fears of a major terrorist outrage in London.

It will grow by a third, bringing an extra 45,000 City workers into the protection zone.

More spy cameras will be erected, and the City's police force will recruit nearly 50 extra officers. The measures come into force on Saturday for a six-month trial period.

U.S.: ‘Credible threat’ of major attack in Italy

St. Peter's Square, Leaning Tower of Pisa get special attention

Italian authorities have clamped unprecedented security coverage over the Vatican and other Christian landmarks after receiving a "credible threat" of a Christmastime terrorist attack, senior U.S. officials said Wednesday.

Over the past two days, officials within the Vatican and elsewhere in Italy have increased security near major Christian symbols, including St. Peter's Square. The step was taken based on a warning from the Mossad, the Israeli security service, that there was a "high index of probability" that "an important symbol of Christianity" would be the target of an attack between Christmas and New Year's, senior officials told NBC News on condition of anonymity.
