    Tohle uz se vyskytlo v klubu textovych vtipu, ale imho to patri i sem:

    Kdesi na místě, které není podobné žádnému které známe, si povídají dva cizí lidé, kteří nejsou podobní nikomu koho známe o věcech, které se nikdy nemohly stát.
    „Dědečku, jak je možné, že je naše rodina tak bohatá?“
    „Protože jsme chytřejší než ostatní, Edwarde“
    „Chytřejší?“
    „Ano, dokážeme toho prodat daleko méně, než všichni ostatní.“
    „Ale dědečku, my jsme se v ekonomii učili, že nejlépe na tom jsou ti, kteří toho dokáží prodat nejvíce a ...“
    „Víš, Edwarde, až budeš starší pochopíš, že je rozdíl mezi poučkami, které jsou určené veřejnosti a které nefungují a mezi těmi, které tvoří naše rodinné bohatství a štěstí.“
    „Dědečku, myslím, že už jsem dospělý. Prozradíš mi to tajemství?“
    „Ano, myslím že ano. Chvilku tady počkej.“
    O 5 minut později...
    „Podívej, Edwarde.“
    „Dědečku, ty máš žáby? Na co žáby?“
    „Žáby jsou základem naší filozofie. To ony nám dokázaly vydělat veškeré jmění. Ale nesmíš toto tajemství nikdy a nikomu sdělit. Přísahej!“
    „Přísahám.“
    „Vezmi kotlík a naber do něho vodu.“
    „Ano, dědečku.“
    Starý pán vhodil jednu žábu do hrnce s vodou. Druhou vložil do sklenice, kterou postavil na zem. Pod hrncem zapálil malinký, sotva viditelný plamínek a vložil do něho teploměr. Teplota ukazovala 24 stupňů.
    „Naše rodina měla od nepaměti továrnu na automobily. Když bylo jednomu z mých pradědů asi jako tobě, zavolal si ho k sobě jeho otec a předal mu rodinné tajemství, které dnes předám já tobě.“
    Teploměr ukazoval 30 stupňů. Starý pán posunul hrnec s vodou trošku mimo ohniště, aby plamínek nádobu jen tak tak olizoval. Žába uvnitř udělala několik temp a posadila se na dno.
    „Automobil bylo velmi, ale velmi složité zařízení z mnoha šroubků, kol a jiných součástí. Když přišel zájemce, naše firma mu ho postavila přesně podle jeho přání.“
    „Nerozumím tomu.“
    „No, automobil dříve nevypadal tak, jako dnes. Nakreslím ti ho.“
    Rtuť se pomaličku převezla přes číslo 34.
    „Hm, takhle? Co je tohle?“
    „To jsou kola. Sloužila k tomu, aby se automobil mohl pohybovat. Tudy se lezlo dovnitř.“
    „Dovnitř? Člověk byl uvnitř auta? Ne jako dnes, obráceně?“
    „Tenkrát bylo všechno jiné. Člověk vlezl do auta, tam si sedl a řídil – točil tímhle kolem a auto podle toho zamířilo správným směrem. Prý.“
    „A jak člověk šlapal?“
    „Nešlapal. Auto jelo samo. Jenom se do něho nalila pohonná hmota, a auto jezdilo samo.“
    „Vypadá to zvláštně – kde jsi se to dozvěděl?“
    „Povídám ti, od svého otce. Stejně, jako jsi se to teď dozvěděl ty.“
    „A proč už dnes nevyrábíme auta?“
    „To se ti právě chystám vysvětlit - řeknu ti všechno, co vím. Vyrobit takové auto bylo poměrně dost drahé. A první věc, kterou lidi vždycky zajímalo, bylo jak co nejvíce ušetřit. Hlavním problémem výroby byla nutnost zaměstnávat odborníky, kteří rozuměli autu do posledního šroubku. Takových lidí bylo málo a byli drazí. Můj pra...praděd si spočítal, že když místo drahých a nenahraditelných všeumělů zaměstná spoustu rychle vyměnitelných lidí z ulice, kteří zvládnou alespoň základní úkony, a každý z nich bude dělat jen jednu jedinou součástku, dokáže z nákladů na jednoho člověka uživit deset dalších dělníků a ještě ušetří. Navíc si dělník nemohl moc vyskakovat, protože kdyby to udělal, okamžitě mu práci sebral a zaměstnal místo něho jiného dělníka. Ten se jeho práci naučil za jeden až dva dny a vykonával jí stejně dobře. A neremcal. Pokud ano, cyklus se zopakoval.“
    „Takže výroba se vlastně zlevnila!“
    „Ano, dramaticky. Náš praděd udělal správný krok – dokázal prodat méně práce než ostatní a tím ušetřil. A ten kdo je levnější, je na tom vždycky v očích zákazníků lépe.“
    Teploměr ukazoval 37 stupňů. Žába nevzrušeně seděla v hrnci a občas zatáhla oči dovnitř hlavy.
    „A co bylo pak? S autem?“
    „S autem už nic, firma se prodala a investovali jsme do továrny na těstoviny.“
    „Myslíš takové ty čtverečky co se vyrábějí ze slámy?“
    „Ano, jenže tenkrát se vyráběly z mouky a vajec.“
    „To bylo ale hrozně nezdravé!“
    „Tenkrát ne. Jenže vejce byly drahé, a tvořily zhruba polovinu ceny balíčku těstovin. A můj praděd, moudrý muž si spočítal, že když investuje peníze do reklamy, kde lidi přesvědčí o tom, že vejce vlastně škodí zdraví, dokáže vyrobit těstoviny za polovinu ceny než ostatní, a hodně na tom vydělá. A lidi budou rádi, že žijí zdravěji a vůbec jim nebude vadit, že těstoviny už nechutnají tak, jako dříve. Byly přece zdravější.“
    Rtuť teploměru byla těsně pod hodnotou 42.
    „A co ostatní výrobci? Vždyť si mohli ti, co tomu neuvěřili kupovat u ostatních!“
    „Ano, zpočátku ano. Jenomže lidi se vždy rozhodují podle ceny. Nakonec těstoviny bez vajec kupovala většina, takže na výrobce nezdravých těstovin už nezbylo místo na trhu.“
    „Takže to nebyla pravda? Že to bylo nezdravé?“
    „Edwarde, v ekonomii je pravda pouze to, čemu věří zákazník.“
    „A protože jsme toho dokázali prodat zákazníkům méně než ostatní, vydělali jsme více peněz.“
    Teploměr ukazoval 46 stupňů.
    „A co bylo s těstovinami dál?“
    „Nic, firma se prodala a investovali jsme do výroby salámů.“
    „Myslíš takové ty soudky z lisované strouhanky?“
    „Ano, jenže tenkrát se vyráběly z masa.“
    „Z masa? To bylo ale taky nezdravé! Nebo ne?“
    „To už nikdo neví. Pravda je to, že mého praděda napadlo, že když začne do masa postupně přidávat sóju, dokáže vyrobit dvojnásobné množství za poloviční cenu. A protože se to nedalo jíst, použil opět tu stejnou fintu, jako u těstovin. A snížil cenu.“
    Teploměr ukazoval 51. Žába opět několikrát mrkla.
    „Takže opět dokázal prodat zákazníkům méně masa než ostatní a na tom vydělal!“
    „Ano. Po dvaceti letech už si totiž nikdo nepamatuje, jak chutná sója, a jak chutná šunka. Když se lidem vysvětlí, že sója je zdravá a chutná jako šunka, skutečně jim bude chutnat. A vždycky, vždycky rozhoduje nakonec cena. Ostatní parametry jsou sekundární.“
    Rtuť postoupila k pětapadesátce.
    „A co bylo dál?“
    „Už tenkrát jsme byli dost bohatí. Předkové investovali do pekařství a přestali vyrábět rohlíky z mouky a droždí. Místo toho se používala taková foukaná pasta. Vydělali balík. Pak přišlo na řadu zemědělství. Rychlili jsme rajčata a pomocí levných hnojiv jich dokázali vyrobit tuny. Vydělal se další balík. A dnes máme mlékárnu.“
    Teploměr nepozorovaně překročil 60 a žába se prošla po dně.
    „Víš, dědečku, jak je možné, že si toho celou tu dobu nikdo nevšiml?“
    Starý pán vstal, vyndal ze sklenice druhou žábu a hodil jí do kotlíku. Žába začala v šoku a křečích drápat po stěnách nádoby. Snažila se vyskočit, ale teplotní šok byl příliš silný. Po několika vteřinách plavala mrtvá těsně pod hladinou. Žába sedící na dně tomu nevěnovala pozornost a opět znuděně zatáhla oči dovnitř hlavy.
    „Vidíš – musí se pomalu. A to je základ naší rodinné filozofie. A našeho bohatství. A teď si vezmi auto, a utíkej domů, maminka tě už bude hledat.“
    Chlapec vyndal z kapsy krabičku s nápisem „Sportovní automobil – pro zdravé nohy“ a vyndal jednu tabletku. Spolkl jí a běžel směrem od dědovy jeskyně po svých domů. Zastavil se (značně udýchán) až před ohořelým stromem, kde rodina bydlela.
    Stál a přemýšlel. Cítil, jak je na dědu pyšný.
    Jenom díky chytrosti jeho předků mohli bydlet takhle zdravě. A platit za to relativně nízký nájem. A mohl běhat autem. A pít mléko. To dobré a zdravé, křišťálově průhledné mléko.
    To jediné mu totiž dle přírodního léčitele mohlo zahnat ty ošklivé, mokvavé vředy, které se nejen jemu, ale většině lidí z neznámých příčin tvořily po celém těle a bolely mnohem víc, než řídké kosti, které když se zlomily, odmítaly srůst. Věřil, že ho to ochrání i před tou divnou chudokrevností, na kterou zemřel jeho bratříček, kterého měl moc rád i přesto, že se narodil celý znetvořený. Maminka na něho kývla a odhrnula si z čela svůj poslední pramínek vlasů.
    Byl příjemný večer a všechno, ale úplně všechno bylo v pořádku.
    V kotlíku plavaly dvě uvařené žáby.

    Američané viděli své vojáky týrat Iráčany

    Americkou armádou v Iráku zmítá skandál. Její příslušníci mučili vězně v bagdádské věznici Abú Ghraíb. Fotografie mučení odvysílala v noci ze středy na čtvrtek v pořadu 60 minutes II americká televizní stanice CBS, která o případu informovala s tím, že podle výsledků armádního vyšetřování jde o rozšířenou praxi.
    29.4. 09:19

    WASHINGTON - Kvůli případu už bylo z Iráku během posledního měsíce odveleno 17 vojáků včetně jednoho brigádního generála. Podrobnosti však do včerejška nebyly známy.

    CBS potvrdila, že ji Pentagon požádal, aby odvysílání reportáže kvůli napjaté situaci v Iráku pozdržela. Televize požadavku vyhověla a reportáž odvysílala s několikatýdenním zpožděním.
    Fotografie ukazují mučení a ponižování

    Záběry jsou skutečně šokující, což potvrdila i reakce amerického generála Marka Kimmitta, který velí jednotkám v Iráku: "Chtěl bych říci Iráčanům i dalším, kdo uvidí tyto fotografie, že jsem jimi byl zděšen."

    Na jedné je zachycen irácký vězeň, kterého vojáci přinutili stát se spoutanýma rukama a přikrytou hlavou na bedně pod pohrůžkou, že bude usmrcen elektrickým proudem, jestliže spadne.

    Na jiné zase zadržení Iráčané klečí jeden na druhém a vytvářejí pyramidu, za níž stojí příslušnice americké armády. Jeden z Iráčanů má přitom na kůži napsané anglické nadávky.

    Další zachycují nahé irácké zajatce v pozicích napodobujících sexuální styk, zatímco vyfotografovaní Američané se smějí a ukazují si na ně. Na jiných snímcích jsou také detaily genitálií omotaných drátem či útok psa na vězně.

    Webmaster faces terrorist charges

    Accused of supporting terrorism

    By INQUIRER staff: Tuesday 27 April 2004, 11:58

    A COMPUTER student from Idaho has been put on trial following his maintaining of web sites which promote, praise or plot acts of war on the West, in the name of Jihad – "holy war".

    The student, Sami Omar al-Hussayen, is a webmaster for several fundamentalist Islamic websites, which linked to pro-suicide bombing sites which praise the bombings in Israel and Chechnya. His defence is that he doesn't hold the same views as the sites he links to and just links them for educational or informative purposes. He says he can't personally be held responsible for material that others wrote.

    This is one of the few times anyone has been prosecuted in this way under the Patriot Act. The Patriot Act makes providing "expert guidance or assistance" to groups which may fund terrorism against the law. However, David Cole – a University law professor – told the New York Times someone who fixes a fax machine run by a terrorist organisation could be liable under the Patriot Act, as that falls under "expert guidance".

    Hussayen has been charged with three counts of conspiracy to support terrorism, and 11 counts of visa and immigration fraud. The 34 year old was studying computer sciences at the University of Idaho.

    Mr. Hussayen's supporters are accusing the government of abusing their power. µ

    POLICE STATE ON THE CARDS

    Apr 27 2004

    Paul Routledge Chief Political Correspondent


    DAVID Blunkett loves the police so much he wants them to run the country.

    If the hard-line Home Secretary gets his way, PC Plod will be able to stop me and you and demand an identity card. If we fail to produce one, he could march us to the nearest police station to "check on the database, sir".

    This is not the country I want to live in. Not the country that New Labour promised to build. More like Sharon's Jerusalem than the New Jerusalem.

    Blunkett claims to have the support of the people in this Draconian act of authoritarianism. Six out of ten back the move in opinion polls.

    They do so on the basis of a fraud. The Home Secretary claims that "biometric" ID cards will cut crime, keep out illegal immigrants and prevent terrorism.

    They will do none of these things, but they WILL change the whole way we live. Britain will increasingly feel like apartheid South Africa.

    The police already know who the criminals are on their patch. Illegal migrants will simply buy an ID card from the people smugglers who profit from this trade.

    All the hijackers who caused the attacks on September 11 had the right form of American ID.

    Do we want a virtual police state? Big Brother Blunkett clearly does.

    Today he pleads the "war against terror" as justification. But you can bet once ID cards become compulsory, that they will stay that way.

    Secret Service questions student on drawings

    Tuesday, April 27, 2004 Posted: 12:13 PM EDT (1613 GMT)

    If this 15-year-old kid in Prosser is perceived as a threat to the president, then we are living in '1984.'

    -- Kevin Cravens, friend of the unidentified boy's family


    Secret Service
    Police
    Civil Rights
    George W. Bush
    or Create your own

    PROSSER, Washington (AP) -- Secret Service agents questioned a high school student about anti-war drawings he did for an art class, one of which depicted President Bush's head on a stick.

    Another pencil-and-ink drawing portrayed Bush as a devil launching a missile, with a caption reading "End the war -- on terrorism."

    The 15-year-old boy's art teacher at Prosser High School turned the drawings over to school administrators, who notified police, who called the Secret Service.

    "We involve the police anytime we have a concern," Prosser Superintendent Ray Tolcacher told the Tri-City Herald newspaper.

    Secret Service agents interviewed the boy last Friday. The student, who was not arrested, has not been identified.

    The school district disciplined him, but district officials refused to say what the punishment was. Tolcacher said the boy was not suspended.

    The artwork was apparently part of an assignment to keep a notebook of drawings, according to Kevin Cravens, a friend of the boy's family.

    The drawing that drew the most notice showed a man in what appeared to be Middle Eastern-style clothing, holding a rifle. He was also holding a stick with an oversize head of the president on it.

    The student said the head was enlarged because it was intended to be an effigy, Cravens said. The caption called for an end to the war in Iraq.

    A message left by The Associated Press with an after-hours duty officer with the Secret Service in Washington, D.C., was not immediately returned on Monday.

    "If this 15-year-old kid in Prosser is perceived as a threat to the president, then we are living in '1984'," Cravens said.

    Tolcacher insisted it was not a freedom of speech issue, but a concern over the depiction of violence.

    "From what I saw, [school officials] were right to be concerned," Prosser Police Chief Win Taylor said.

    The Orwellian Olsens

    By MAUREEN DOWD

    Published: April 25, 2004

    WASHINGTON

    It's their reality. We just live and die in it.

    In Bushworld, our troops go to war and get killed, but you never see the bodies coming home.

    In Bushworld, flag-draped remains of the fallen are important to revere and show the nation, but only in political ads hawking the president's leadership against terror.

    Advertisement

    In Bushworld, we can create an exciting Iraqi democracy as long as it doesn't control its own military, pass any laws or have any power.

    In Bushworld, we can win over Falluja by bulldozing it.

    In Bushworld, it was worth going to war so Iraqis can express their feelings ("Down With America!") without having their tongues cut out, although we cannot yet allow them to express intemperate feelings in newspapers ("Down With America!") without shutting them down.

    In Bushworld, it's fine to take $700 million that Congress provided for the war in Afghanistan and 9/11 recovery and divert it to the war in Iraq that you're insisting you're not planning.

    In Bushworld, you don't consult your father, the expert in being president during a war with Iraq, but you do talk to your Higher Father, who can't talk back to warn you to get an exit strategy or chide you for using Him for political purposes.

    In Bushworld, it's O.K. to run for re-election as the avenger of 9/11, even as you make secret deals with the Arab kingdom where most of the 9/11 hijackers came from.

    In Bushworld, you get to strut around like a tough military guy and paint your rival as a chicken hawk, even though he's the one who won medals in combat and was praised by his superior officers for fulfilling all his obligations.

    In Bushworld, it makes sense to press for transparency in Mr. and Mrs. Rival while cultivating your own opacity.

    In Bushworld, you can reign as the antiterror president even after hearing an intelligence report about Al Qaeda's plans to attack America and then stepping outside to clear brush.

    In Bushworld, those who dissemble about the troops and money it will take to get Iraq on its feet are patriots, while those who are honest are patronizingly marginalized.

    In Bushworld, they struggle to keep church and state separate in Iraq, even as they increasingly merge the two in America.

    In Bushworld, you can claim to be the environmental president on Earth Day while being the industry president every other day.

    In Bushworld, you brag about how well Afghanistan is going, even though soldiers like Pat Tillman are still dying and the Taliban are running freely around the border areas, hiding Osama and delaying elections.

    In Bushworld, imperfect intelligence is good enough to knock over Iraq. But even better evidence that North Korea is building the weapons that Saddam could only dream about is hidden away.

    In Bushworld, the C.I.A. says it can't find out whether there are W.M.D. in Iraq unless we invade on the grounds that there are W.M.D.

    In Bushworld, there's no irony that so many who did so much to avoid the Vietnam draft have now strained the military so much that lawmakers are talking about bringing back the draft.

    In Bushworld, we're making progress in the war on terror by fighting a war that creates terrorists.

    In Bushworld, you don't need to bother asking your vice president and top Defense Department officials whether you should go to war in Iraq, because they've already maneuvered you into going to war.

    In Bushworld, it's perfectly natural for the president and vice president to appear before the 9/11 commission like the Olsen twins.

    In Bushworld, you expound on remaking the Middle East and spreading pro-American sentiments even as you expand anti-American sentiments by ineptly occupying Iraq and unstintingly backing Ariel Sharon on West Bank settlements.

    In Bushworld, we went to war to give Iraq a democratic process, yet we disdain the democratic process that causes allies to pull out troops.

    In Bushworld, you pride yourself on the fact that your administration does not leak to the press, while you flood the best-known journalist in Washington with inside information.

    In Bushworld, you list Bob Woodward's "Plan of Attack" as recommended reading on your campaign Web site, even though it makes you seem divorced from reality. That is, unless you live in Bushworld.

    SOME DETAILED BACKGROUND TO WTC BUILDING COLLAPSES To: Daniel Soller, New York Representative, Swiss Reinsurance.

    From: R. Leland Lehrman, independent investigator.
    Re: World Trade Center Insurance Case.

    Thank you for taking my call the other day. I hope you will be able to use this document in time to influence the outcome of the current trial, or at least the subsequent one. It is my contention that after all is said and done, Silverstein Properties may owe Swiss Re for all attorney fees and insurance payouts already disbursed, plus possible damages.

    Let's start with the facts and then add context as we go along.

    1. Silverstein's Role in the collapse of Building 7

    Building 7 of the World Trade Center complex collapsed on September 11, 2001 without being hit by an airplane or other debris. FEMA was unable to conclusively state why it collapsed. But then, in September of 2002, owner/builder Larry Silverstein discussed the collapse of Building 7 in a PBS Documentary called America Rebuilds. This is what he had to say:

    "I remember getting a call from the, er, fire department commander, telling me that they were not sure they were gonna be able to contain the fire, and I said, "We've had such terrible loss of life, maybe the smartest thing to do is pull it." And they made that decision to pull and we watched the building collapse."

    You can listen to that clip for yourself by downloading it here:

    Press for Link

    Watch Larry Silverstein say it here:

    Press for Link

    If there was any doubt about what "pull it" means, it is put to rest by another quote in the same video:

    "... we're getting ready to pull building six." Listen to that quote here:

    Press for Link

    Watch the video here:

    Additional information on the Building 7 collapse:

    Press for Link

    I cannot see how Larry Silverstein's comment does not impact significantly on the investigation into the collapse of the North and South Tower. Someone needs to ask Silverstein some tough questions under oath about what he meant in that statement and how it was possible to demolish Building 7 on September 11th without placing charges in the building prior to the event. The controlled demolition theory of the collapse of WTC North and South Tower is also the only one that deals with the fact that jet fuel cannot burn hot enough to melt steel, nor could it melt the steel in such a fashion as to engender a controlled implosion. The beams all have to melt at the same time:

    2. Security Lapse and "Power Down" at WTC on September 8th

    A crucial piece of evidence that I have been waiting for in order to cement this case together just came in today. Take a look at the following letter from Scott Forbes of Fiduciary Trust:

    Press for Link

    "From: "Scott Forbes"
    Subject: Official Verison of 9/11 - new info
    Date: Mon, 19 Apr 2004 12:35:12 +0000

    To John Kaminski,

    I was pleased to read your article "The Official Version of 9/11 is a Hoax" ... Please note some other facts. My name is Scott Forbes and I still work for Fiduciary Trust. In 2001 we occupied floors 90 and 94-97 of the South Tower and lost 87 employees plus many contractors.

    On the weekend of 9/8,9/9 there was a 'power down' condition in WTC tower 2, the south tower. This power down condition meant there was no electrical supply for approx 36hrs from floor 50 up. I am aware of this situation since I work in IT and had to work with many others that weekend to ensure that all systems were cleanly shutdown beforehand ... and then brough back up afterwards. The reason given by the WTC for the power down was that cabling in the tower was being upgraded ... Of course without power there were no security cameras, no security locks on doors and many, many 'engineers' coming in and out of the tower. I was at home on the morning of 9/11 on the shore of Jersey City, right opposite the Towers, and watching events unfold I was convinced immediately that something was happening related to the weekend work ...

    I have mailed this information to many people and bodies, including the 9/11 Commission but no-one seems to be taking and registering these facts. What's to hide? Can you help publicise them?" WingTV provides additional details:

    Press for Link

    "Forbes, who was hired by Fiduciary in 1999 and is now stationed at a U.K. branch office, was working on the weekend of September 8-9, 2001, and said that his company was given three weeks advance notice that New York’s Port Authority would take out power in the South Tower from the 48th floor up. The reason: the Port Authority was performing a cabling upgrade to increase the WTC’s computer bandwidth.

    Forbes stated that Fiduciary Trust was one of the WTC’s first occupants after it was erected, and that a "power-down" had never been initiated prior to this occasion."

    Why has there been no investigation on the part of the 9/11 Commission? Is there nothing suspicious or extraordinary about that event that should be examined? Would Swiss Re's case not plausibly benefit from further investigation? Surely Silverstein must have known about this massive security situation in the buildings he leased. What can he tell us under oath about the "Power-Down" event? Are there any other witnesses who would have corroborating testimony describing suspicious activity the weekend prior to the disaster? Is this not standard investigative procedure?

    3. Anomalous Video Evidence of South Tower Crash

    Recent video analysis of the crash into the South Tower has provided us with ample evidence to suspect something more than just a crash. While at first seemingly unbelievable, analysis of the video evidence at www.letsroll911.org leaves little doubt that the airplane that hit the South Tower was not an ordinary commercial flight. Take a look at the video evidence for yourself, as words are no match for the video on this one. What does it mean to the insurance case if the entire government story regarding the method, motive and personnel involved in the 9/11 hijacking is grossly incorrect or incomplete?

    4. Silverstein's aloof and calculating behavior post-9/11

    Swiss Re's press statements about Silverstein are particularly revealing.. Take a look at this statement by Barry Ostrager on February 4, 2003:

    "The transaction was actually structured in a manner that would have allowed Silverstein to simply default and walk away from the lease in the event of a catastrophic loss, which is why, at the time he purchased the coverage, Silverstein wasn't that concerned about the amount of insurance.

    The terms of the lease include a clause that if the WTC were totally destroyed and Silverstein and the other insured parties elected not to rebuild, they are entitled to cash out the insurance proceeds and walk away from the deal. After repaying the lenders the principal of their loans, and paying the Port Authority USD 1.5 billion, Silverstein and his investors arguably could claim the balance of more than USD 1 billion. This was one scenario Silverstein had contemplated when his PR counsel, Howard Rubenstein, proposed a public relations strategy labeling the World Trade Center site "hallowed ground," on which nothing would be rebuilt. "

    On the day after the disaster, instead of recuperating from shock, Silverstein was exploring his financial options with his PR agent, Howard Rubenstein:

    "As memorialized in a typed memo dated September 12, 2001, Silverstein, with the help of Rubenstein, had been considering either rebuilding in partnership with a government subsidy, or not rebuilding and pocketing a large insurance recovery. They cynically considered two options, each designed to advance Silverstein's financial interest:

    -- "The WTC will be rebuilt in partnership with the people of America. 'The WTC is no longer a real estate site that belongs to a corporation - it belongs to the people of this nation. As a result a national crusade will be undertaken that allows us to rebuild this symbol of American pride and determination where the people of this nation are equal partners in this effort."

    -- "The WTC will not be rebuilt. 'It is inconceivable that we could rebuild a place of commerce on land that has become drenched with the blood of American patriots. It needs to be consecrated much the way Gettysburg and the Arizona are now."

    The influence of Silverstein's public relations counsel in his legal strategy continued later, without regard to the actual facts. This involvement is evidenced by a comment referencing Rubenstein's recommendation that Silverstein seek his confected, post-loss two occurrence strategy: "Howard: FYI, they took your advice [to seek two occurrences]."

    Does this sound like the attitude of someone recovering from shock as his most-prized investment just turned to dust?

    5. Surreptitious Switch to the Traveler's Form

    Even Silverstein's case that he switched to the Travelers form right before the attack looks suspicious. It looks to me like someone knew what was coming and wanted to move the insurance companies onto a form that would increase their liability without making too much of a fuss about it and raising eyebrows. Look closely at the details of the supposed "change" in the governing form and you will see all the hallmarks of a covert operation: surreptitious, oblique and non-specific communications designed to accomplish an objective without setting off alarm bells.

    6. Relevant Background Information - Who is Larry Silverstein?

    It is necessary to understand who Larry Silverstein is and the circles in which he operates in order to understand how it is possible that he might have had prior knowledge.

    It is also necessary to understand that there are other suspects in the 9/11 case besides al Qaeda, among whom the Mossad, Israel's spy and covert operations agency figures prominently.

    Modus Operandi for the Mossad is to frame Arabs for terrorist actions that they perpetrate. The article WTC Stranger than Fiction linked below gives examples. The Washington Times ran a story on September 10, 2001 about a 68-page study issued by the U.S. Army School for Advanced Military Studies (SAMS). The study, issued by the elite Army officer’s school, detailed the dangers of a possible U.S. Army occupational force in the Mideast. Here is the article's comment about the study's view of the Israeli Mossad:

    Of the Mossad, the Israeli intelligence service, the SAMS officers say: "Wildcard. Ruthless and cunning. Has capability to target U.S. forces and make it look like a Palestinian/Arab act."

    "By way of deception, thou shalt make war" is the motto for Mossad. And Mossad was subsequently busted creating a phony al-Qaeda in Palestine:

    Let's start with the evidence that the Mossad is somehow involved with 9/11.. For that, we shall turn to the giants in the field:

    ​ ​​​​ For a guided tour, WTC Stranger than Fiction is the best introduction. To get straight into the heart of the matter, start at the section marked The Dancing Israelis:

    Press for Link

    Perhaps the most important and official evidence is the US DEA/FBI report on the massive Israeli Spy Ring: Press for Link

    Now let's look at the evidence that links Silverstein and Israel. For that we must first discuss the concept of the "sayanim", or helpers. The Mossad use dedicated Zionist Jews as assistants in its overseas covert operations. Former Mossad operator Victor Ostrovsky in his book By Way of Deception describes the sayanim thus:br>
    "There are thousands of sayanim around the world. In London alone, there are about 2,000 who are active, and another 5,000 on the list. They fulfill many? different roles. A car sayan, for example, running a rental agency, could help the Mossad rent a car without having to complete the usual documentation. An apartment sayan would find accommodation without raising suspicions, a bank sayan could get you money if you needed it in the middle of the night, a doctor sayan would treat a bullet wound without reporting it to the police, and so on.

    The idea is to have a pool of people available when needed who can provide services but will keep quiet about them out of loyalty to the cause. They are paid only costs. Often the loyalty of sayanim is abused by katsas who take advantage of the available help for their own personal use. There is no way for the sayan to check this."

    I would suggest that it is plausible that Larry Silverstein is a high-level sayan. Take a look at these articles for details on his business, social and political circles:

    1. Larry Silverstein's relationship with Lewis Eisenberg of the Port Authority et al.Press for Link

    2. Silverstein's relationship with Rupert Murdoch and other Zionist organizations:Press for Link

    3. Silverstein's Relationship with Israel's Likud Party and Ariel Sharon:

    Press for Link

    As Dafna Barak of the Israeli Free Trade Zones Council says:"...A man like Larry Silverstein...contributes millions of dollars every year to Israel."A Jerusalem Post article detailing Silverstein's work in Israel as well as his close relationship with Ariel Sharon and the Likud Party is here:

    Press for Link

    Here's some more links to Israeli officials from Ha'aretz, including the following quote:"...he himself was saved only because a meeting he had scheduled that morning with officials of the Port Authority on the 88th floor of 1 World Trade Center (the south tower) was canceled at the last minute."

    Press for Link

    He's got some bigtime Israeli "close friends" calling him too: "Shortly after the events of September 11, Prime Minister Ariel Sharon called Larry Silverstein, a Jewish real estate magnate in New York, the owner of the World Trade Center's 110-story Twin Towers and a close friend, to ask how he was. Since then they have spoken a few more times. Two former prime ministers - Benjamin Netanyahu, who this week called Silverstein a "friend," and Ehud Barak, whom Silverstein in the past offered a job as his representative in Israel - also called soon after the disaster. Yaakov Terner, the mayor of Be'er Sheva, sent a letter of condolence." Pretty lucky guy, no? You'd think he would have been devastated, but no, he's cooking up some nice insurance strategies by the next day with Howard Rubenstein, his PR guy, who just happens to also be the pro bono PR agent for THE STATE OF ISRAEL:

    Press for Link

    Press for Link

    Furthermore, it turns out Silverstein was actually a very close friend of Netanyahu:

    "The two have been on friendly terms since Netanyahu's stint as Israel's ambassador to the United Nations. For years they kept in close touch. Every Sunday afternoon, New York time, Netanyahu would call Silverstein. It made no difference what the subject was or where Netanyahu was, he would always call, Silverstein told an Israeli acquaintance. Their ties continued after Netanyahu became prime minister. They met several times and Netanyahu promised to give the project (Free Processing Zone in Israel) his support."

    Conclusion:

    The world is full of gangsters of all nationalities. It takes some time to break through the nationalist and religious ideological positions in order to discover the secret trans-national and trans-ideological bonds between high and low-level criminals. It is difficult to determine whether the Saudis/Pakistanis or the Israelis were more closely involved in the planning and execution of the attacks on September 11th, but my research suggests that there are criminal elements at high levels in all of the above, as well as the US, UK and other involved nations.

    Larry Silverstein may not have had much advance notice about the September attacks. It appears, based on the cancelled meeting with the Port Authority, that he would have had only a couple of hours, if that. Certainly it is plausible that his friends in Israel, having either followed or created the "al Qaeda" hijacker team through the Mossad would have tipped him off at the end without compromising operational security. It appears they have also given him the green light through Rubenstein to fleece Swiss Re and the rest of the insurance companies for the $7Billion. Hilary Clinton, Charles Schumer, George Pataki, Brad Card brother of the White House Chief of Staff Andrew Card - they're all on his payroll as he needs that $5 Billion in federal aid to complete the Freedom Tower. But does he deserve it?

    If he did have advance notice, then it makes the deadly announcement to Tower occupants to return to their offices, all the more heinous.

    For the record, given the shadows of doubt still lingering, let me here ask forgiveness from those upon whom I may here have cast unwarranted aspersions. But it is inevitable, and necessary, to examine the evidence and the character of all involved in this disaster. May the innocent walk free and the guilty meet justice.

    It is certain that the Mossad was either following or running the al Qaeda operation:

    Press for Link

    "The Telegraph has learnt that two senior experts with Mossad, the Israeli military intelligence service, were sent to Washington in August to alert the CIA and FBI to the existence of a cell of as many of 200 terrorists said to be preparing a big operation. They had no specific information about what was being planned but linked the plot to Osama bin Laden and told the Americans that there were strong grounds for suspecting Iraqi involvement," said a senior Israeli security official."

    and:

    Press for Link

    "Hollywood in Florida is a town of just 25,000 souls. The French intelligence report says the leader of the Mossad cell in Florida rented apartments "right near the apartment of Atta and al-Shehi". More than a third of the Israeli "art students" claimed residence in Florida. Two other Israelis connected to the art ring showed up in Fort Lauderdale. At one time, eight of the hijackers lived just north of the town.

    Put together, the facts do appear to indicate that Israel knew that 9/11, or at least a large-scale terror attack, was about to take place on American soil, but did nothing to warn the USA. But that's not quite true. In August 2001, the Israelis handed over a list of terrorist suspects - on it were the names of four of the September 11 hijackers. Significantly, however, the warning said the terrorists were planning an attack "outside the United States".

    The Mossad is ideologically aligned with Likud. The leaders of Likud, Netanyahu and Sharon, were tight with Silverstein. It follows that Silverstein may have had prior knowledge. How much, we can't yet say, but Swiss Re should definitely consider doing a thorough investigation. Not only could Swiss Re save itself a lot of money, but it could have a positive effect on the search for truth and justice in the case of the World Trade Center Disaster. We could put together a team in a week that could get to the bottom of this in a relatively short time with a small amount of money.

    I'll close with the words of Phil Jayhan of letsroll911.org:

    "It can be proven that missiles were used against the world trade center. It can further be proven that the World Trade Center was brought down by controlled demolitions, purposely, with 3000 innocent, helpless souls inside. With this being the case, it changes everything for the World, for Afghanistan, for Iraq, for George Bush, and lastly but not least, the insurance companies involved. This website will save them billions!

    It will save United & American Airlines billions, and help everyone recover losses already paid out. Not only was 911 pre-planned, but those who did so, did so with the intention of using this event to defraud insurance companies out of billions upon billions of dollars at the same time. Thus making the insurance claims null and void. I sure would hate to be Larry Silverstein right now, cause this doesn't look good for him. He bought the World Trade Center some 90 days before 911 with all sorts of special and now, in hindsight, curious insurance riders. He bought 2 Asbestos filled 'Golden Herring' Towers which would cost more to tear down than to replace. And now, he has the gall to try to make the insurance companies double pay for the World Trade Center.

    Shameless. But with this new development, the insurance companies can not only stop payment on all 911 claims, but they can now start to recover their huge losses due to fraud. What will Larry Silverstein settle for now? Perhaps he knew nothing, one can only hope. It will be for the investigators of the true official investigation to figure out. But as of yet, this investigation hasn't started. The sham 911 commission is designed to cover this up. The true investigation, in my opinion, will only be done by those who have the most to lose. Insurance companies.

    When they see the Dog and Pony show that has been leveled against them, they will, and should rise up in unison and say; "Nope, not a dime...Let the insiders pay for their handiwork! With the information here at the site, it should provide the Insurance companies with far more than enough reason to just say 'no' to another nickel or dime payout. Let the truth begin and let's leave the falsehoods behind...." Call anytime,

    Tag me: The world of radio frequency identification

    John Jerney

    Imagine the following scenario: most every item, no matter the size, contains a small almost invisible tag--even items such as clothing, currency, and postal mail. When you pick up the item at a store, a video camera zooms in and records your actions.

    When you browse a book, a computer records how long you are holding the book. And when you walk past a friend, a police surveillance system records the encounter.

    What makes all this possible is a technology called Radio Frequency Identification (RFID).

    RFID systems consist of a small tag typically containing a microprocessor, a small amount of memory, and an antenna. The memory can be volatile or static depending on the type of application the RFID device is designed to enable.

    Volatile memory allows the information in the RFID tag to be changed and updated, while static memory basically stores read-only information such as a serial number or other identification code.

    An RFID device uses radio waves to communicate with an external reader, which in turn is connected to a computer system that enables the transmitted information to be processed.

    The RFID device itself can be either active or passive. An active device has its own power source, most commonly a battery, which it uses to communicate with the reader.

    Passive RFID devices, on the other hand, do not require a battery. Instead, they convert the magnetic field created by an external reader into electricity to generate the radio signals.

    RFID belongs to a class of technologies more generally known as automatic identification systems. Automatic id systems enable machines to identify objects without human intervention.

    The most common automatic identification system currently used relies on bar codes. Bar codes work well, but also have several limitations. First, bar codes typically encode only small amounts of data, ranging from several characters and digits to a couple of kilobytes in the most expanded versions.

    RFID devices, on the other hand, are limited only by the amount of memory embedded in the tag. Information stored on bar codes is also inherently static. Volatile memory further enable the system to be used in more dynamic environments.

    Most importantly, bar codes require a scanner to see the code in order to read it. This means that the bar code must not only be free from obstructions, such as dirt or stickers, but must also be aligned in the general direction of the scanner.

    RFID devices do not have these restrictions. The tag can be aligned in any manner, and moving at practically any speed, as long as the tag somehow passes through the area covered by the reader.

    RFID devices are not perfect for all applications, however. Since metal shields radio signals, RFID cannot be embedded inside metal containers.

    Another issue is compatibility. Universally accepted RFID standards have yet to appear. Devices from different manufacturers might not even use the same frequency over which to communicate. This means that currently most deployments have been occurring within a single organization or a group of closely-knit companies.

    Cost too remains a factor. Bar codes are simple printouts costing less than a penny each. Even with mass production, the most basic RFID devices still cost dozens of times more. Sophisticated RFID devices with greater range, more memory, and faster processing can cost tens of dollars or more.

    Still, the idea of identifying specifically tagged items (uniquely across the entire world) has appeal to companies, industries, and even governments.

    The largest retailer in the world Wal-Mart, for example, is taking the lead in requiring its top suppliers to employ RFID devices in all shipping containers.

    The beef industry too has begun using RFID technology to control its product from livestock to processing stages. And the nation of China is preparing several plans to widely deploy RFID systems in applications ranging from a newly planned national identification card to tracking vital medical supplies throughout the country.

    Software vendors too are engineering their newest offerings to function within RFID environments. Oracle, Microsoft, SAP, and others are all including RFID-specific features in their newest upgrades to help manage the ocean of data that billions, and potentially even trillions, of these devices are likely to produce over the next few years.

    This has led a number of privacy and consumer advocate organizations to sound an alarm. The Privacy Rights Clearinghouse (www.privacyrights.org), Electronic Frontier Foundation (www.eff.org), and similar minded organizations have joined together to issue a position statement concerning acceptable and unacceptable uses for RFID devices.

    In particular, the groups note that acceptable uses include tracking pharmaceuticals from manufacture to the point of dispensing, tracing manufactured goods from creation to in-store delivery, and detecting items containing toxic substances, such as personal computers and televisions, from entering land-fills.

    Threats to privacy include RFID tags that are hidden and embedded into objects without prior knowledge or consent of consumers. Since readers can be hidden and linked to related technologies, such as video surveillance and information sifting and data mining, the potential for abuse is very real.

    Likewise, privacy advocates are weary about the linking of personal identity with unique object identifiers, enabling individuals to be tracked and profiled through the objects they use without their awareness or approval.

    Governments and organizations could use the technology to monitor the activity of activists and protesters. In fact, the European Union and Japanese government have both considered using RFID technology in currency, and other governments are examining its use in law enforcement.

    Think the idea of walking around carrying an RFID tag on your body everywhere you go sounds too much like Big Brother? Well don't worry, you're already tagged to some degree. In this case, the RFID device is called your mobile phone.

    Pre-9/11 World Trade Center Power-Down

    by Victor Thorn


    Wing TV, 23 April 2004
    www.globalresearch.ca 24 April 2004

    Did the World Trade Center towers undergo a deliberate “power-down” on the weekend prior to the 9-11 terrorist attacks? According to Scott Forbes, a senior database administrator for Fiduciary Trust, Inc. – a high-net investment bank which was later acquired by Franklin Templeton – this is precisely what took place. Forbes, who was hired by Fiduciary in 1999 and is now stationed at a U.K. branch office, was working on the weekend of September 8-9, 2001, and said that his company was given three weeks advance notice that New York’s Port Authority would take out power in the South Tower from the 48th floor up. The reason: the Port Authority was performing a cabling upgrade to increase the WTC’s computer bandwidth.

    Forbes stated that Fiduciary Trust was one of the WTC’s first occupants after it was erected, and that a “power-down” had never been initiated prior to this occasion. He also stated that his company put forth a huge investment in time and resources to take down their computer systems due to the deliberate power outage. This process, Forbes recalled, began early Saturday morning (September 8th) and continued until mid-Sunday afternoon (September 9th) – approximately 30 hours. As a result of having its electricity cut, the WTC’s security cameras were rendered inoperative, as were its I.D. systems, and elevators to the upper floors.

    Forbes did stress, though, that there was power to the WTC’s lower floors, and that there were plenty of engineers going in-and-out of the WTC who had free access throughout the building due to its security system being knocked out. In an e-mail to journalist John Kaminski, author of The Day America Died (Sisyphus Press) and America’s Autopsy Report (Dandelion Books), Forbes wrote: “Without power there were no security cameras, no security locks on doors, and many, many ‘engineers’ coming in and out of the tower.”

    Forbes didn’t think much of these occurrences at the time, and said that he worked until Monday morning (September 10th) to get all the computer systems back online. Due to his IT-related duties on Saturday & Sunday, Forbes had Tuesday, September 11th off, and thus watched the World Trade Center towers collapse from his apartment. While doing so, he recalled, “I was convinced immediately that something was happening related to the weekend work.”

    In addition, Forbes says there were other peculiarities revolving around this unreported event, including:

    1) Fiduciary employees trapped between the 90-97th floors of the South Tower told family members (via cell-phone calls) that they were hearing “bomb-like explosions” throughout the towers.

    2) Video cameras positioned atop the World Trade Center which were used to feed daily images to local television stations were inexplicably inoperative that morning.

    3) A Fiduciary employee who was on one of the lower floors and escaped immediately after the first (North) tower was struck, reported that he was amazed by the large number of FBI agents that were already on the streets surrounding the WTC complex only minutes after the initial strike.

    4) Last but not least, Ann Tatlock, CEO of Fiduciary Trust and now a board member of Franklin Templeton, had just arrived at a conference hosted by Warren Buffet at the Offutt Air Force Base (home of the U.S. Strategic Command Headquarters in Omaha, Nebraska) when the 9-11 attacks took place. Coincidentally, later that day President George W. Bush flew into this very same base on Air Force One for “security reasons.” Even more chilling are the Offutt AFB ties to the CIA’s MK ULTRA experiments, Project Monarch, the Franklin Cover-Up, and the diabolical practices of Michael Aquino. (Type any of these words into a search engine for more information.)

    In the end, Forbes says that even though these disclosures could jeopardize his current employment, he has stepped forward because, “I have mailed this information to many people, including the 9/11 Commission, but no one seems to be registering these facts.”

    Obviously there are many unanswered questions to this story, and we will keep you updated as more information arrives.

    Police warned over anti-terror powers

    Matthew Tempest and agencies
    Monday April 26, 2004

    Police forces are exploiting the wide powers granted under recent terrorism legislation to curb legitimate protesters, according to the government's own independent reviewer.


    ...

    There was no part of the capital where the powers had not been used at some point.
    ...

    "It has been drawn to my attention from real events in the past year that the definition of terrorism would have included, for example, an anti-war protester who threatened to reach the runway of a military airfield and change his/her baby's nappy there knowing that the runway was due to receive US aircraft returning from bombing missions in Iraq.

    "While this appears to be a strictly correct interpretation of the provision, it is questionable whether most citizens would regard such acts as falling within the appropriate scope of terrorism."

    Právní mýty okolo nás

    25.4.2004

    Nestává se mi často, abych si počáteční myšlenky svého připravovaného článku poslechl v hlavní zpravodajské relaci od okoukaného politika. Nebo je snad ten problém opravdu tak naléhavý (jak ho pociťuji já), že se stává předmětem vážného politického boje? Klaus měl výjimečně pravdu a dokonce svou myšlenku i nezvykle srozumitelně vyjádřil: Náš právní řád je nepřehledný a pro prostého občana nesrozumitelný.

    Následující příspěvek je názorem laika, který bohužel přichází do kontaktu s českým právním systémem častěji, než je mu milé.

    Základní poučka, ostrý donucovací nástroj pro nutnost seznámení se s právním řádem, formulka povyšující právo nad logiku. Ale jak je to doopravdy s možností seznámit se s právním řádem vlastní země?

    Pro představu se stačí podívat např. sem, kde na nás číhají gigabajty PDF souborů nejrůznějších zákonů, novel, vyhlášek, nálezů nejvyššího soudu a podobně. Jen prosté přečtení by zabralo půl života. Vím, že mnohé zákony jsou určeny specializovaným skupinám obyvatelstva, profesím či organizacím, ale pořád toho zůstává dost, co více či méně normuje život obyčejného člověka. Obecná pravidla podnikání, povinnosti vůči stáním orgánům nebo daně. Připočteme-li k tomu složitou konstrukci zákonů, jejich novel a novel novel, tvrdím, že není v silách průměrného lidského mozku tuto problematiku zvládnout jako bokovku vedle hlavního zdroje obživy. Požadavek na alespoň hrubou znalost právního systému je při současných poměrech naprosto iluzorní, nesplnitelný a ze strany státu alibistický.

    Co vlastně dělá stát a tvůrci zákonů proto, aby si jeho občané osvojili alespoň základní právní znalosti, aby se vytvořenými zákony vůbec mohli řídit? Ve škole, v hodinách, kde by člověk očekával, že se budoucí občané budou seznamovat se základy právního řádu, se nedospělí žáčci dozvědí jen to, jak (po vzoru Západních útoků na integritu rodiny) právně zakročit proti svým rodičům a to je opravdu málo. O tom, jak se zákonodárce stará o informování dospělé populace, svědčí nejlépe samotné výše jmenované internetové stránky. Zákony v PDF formátu, tedy bez možnosti prohledávání, v balících až po pěti MB bez řádného popisu. Zato nechybí odkaz na komerční stránky, umožňující fultextové prohledávání. To opravdu nemá tento stát prostředky na to, aby přehledně vystavil platnou verzi vlastního právního řádu, aby své zákony popularizoval a uvedl do života mezi prosté občany?

    Spravedlnost jako zboží

    Neumím si tuto situaci vysvětlit jinak, než že se jedná o záměr. Záměr, který organicky zapadá do celkového obrazu naší moderní "západní" spravedlnosti, kde se deklarovaná rovnost stran a nezávislost soudů na mocenských strukturách vyvinula do dnešní podoby "právního průmyslu". V právních řádech sice nejsou apriorní uzákonění vůle nějakého diktátora, privilegia skupiny, avšak nerovnost a přivlastňování si spravedlnosti některými skupinami obyvatelstva probíhá dál a daleko rafinovaněji. Výsledná nerovnost mezi občany pak vykazuje nesrovnatelně vyšší stabilitu a není vázána na život či smrt jednotlivého diktátora či politické strany.

    Moderní právní průmysl nalezl prostředek vyjádření silnější pozice před zákonem - peníze. Dnes není třeba konstruovat zákony, které na první pohled zvýhodňují nějakou skupinu. Je naprosto dostačující, že ona nerovnost se projeví při konkrétním řešení daného sporu, jako rozdíl ve výši sumy, investované do boje v soudní síni. Vhodnost a přiměřený objem takové investice má pak zásadní dopad na výsledek sporu. Ne, nemám na mysli nějakou korupci, či nefér ovlivňování soudu, mám na mysli zcela legální postupy naprosto v rámci právního systému jako např. nákup právních mozků. Ona mýtická spravedlnost se pak ve skutečnosti stává zbožím, přičemž není důležité, zda finanční investice probíhá v souladu s právním řádem, či nikoli. Důležité je, že vhodnou směnou peněz lze dosáhnout podstatného přiblížení požadovanému výsledku.

    Podmínky vzniku a fungování právního průmyslu

    Aby mohl celý systém fungovat, je třeba splnit několik základních podmínek:

    * V právním řádu musí být alespoň deklarována rovnost před zákonem. V právních řádech s otevřeně deklarovanou nerovností nemá totiž smysl ani vést rozsáhlé soudní spory za použití převodní páky typu peníze. Vše je od začátku dáno, jako tomu bylo v nedávné minulosti, za dob platnosti vedoucí úlohy KSČ. Vše bylo dopředu jasné, co chtěla strana, bylo právo.
    * Právní řád musí být dostatečně složitý a rozporuplný. Musí obsahovat kličky a háčky, musí umožňovat různý výklad, možnost popírání jasných faktů tak, aby se prostý občan v něm nemohl sám prosadit a jeho jedinou možností bylo najímání právních gladiátorů, profesně deformovaných mozků, léta speciálně školených na boj v této džungli.
    * Tato skupina nájemných právních žoldáků musí být dostatečně privilegovaná a finančně náročná, aby nebylo pro málo majetné možné najmout nejlepší mozky. Plat právníka či hrozba úhrady soudních výloh, to jsou právě ty prvky, zajišťující rozdělení spravedlnosti podle postavení ve společnosti. Není třeba zákonem definovat šlechtu či jinou privilegovanou vrstvu, hlídat dědičná privilegia a podobně, stačí nechat pracovat peníze.
    * Soudci musí být relativně nezávislí, aby mohl vyniknout jako rozhodující vliv peněz. Soudci musí mít velmi privilegované postavení, minimalizující osobní zodpovědnost za svá rozhodnutí. Ideální je, když jejich rozhodnutí nejsou ani v případech, příčících se zdravému rozumu, veřejně kritizovatelná.

    Posouzení "vyspělosti" právního průmyslu v daném státě je poměrně jednoduché, stačí si pravdivě a upřímně odpovědět na otázky typu: "Jak mnoho závisí výsledek sporu na výši investice?" Pravdivá odpověď na tuto otázku vypovídá o povaze práva více, než všechny učené spisky ideologů práva dohromady.

    Důsledky pro společnost

    Nerovnost před právem a právní bezbrannost pro chudší není tím nejvážnějším důsledkem prosazovaného právního systému. Systém totiž znamená také nejistotu i pro ekonomické subjekty, zejména ty slabší. Drobní živnostníci a malé firmy si mohou na svou nerovnost už dnes u nás "sáhnout", stačí se třeba nedohodnout na platbách se silnější firmou a pak se pokusit o soudní vymáhání. I šance Dona Quiota zvítězit nad větrnými mlýny byla vyšší! Ekonomický prostor se stává iracionálním, výsledky sporů, odhadované z výchozích faktů, jsou nejisté i v evidentních případech. Systém posiluje silné, oslabuje slabé.

    Cena tzv. spravedlnosti je neúměrně vysoká. Prostředky, které by bylo možno investovat daleko účelnějším způsobem (a to i u velkých firem) jsou promrhány na tvorbu právní elity. Její přínos pro společnost je několikanásobně nižší, než vynaložené prostředky. Odstrašujícím příkladem dotažení věcí do absurdity jsou asi Spojené státy, ale jako člověk, který zná Ameriku jen z Hollywoodských filmů a několika autentických vyprávění přátel, nejsem ten pravý kritik. Neumím si ale představit, že to funguje jen z poloviny tak, ukazují tisíce amerických filmových soudních procesů.

    Situace v České republice

    Zdá se, že výše popsaný systém je právě tím, který si naše špičky všech volitelných stran stanovily jako cíl v oblasti práva a jdou za ním neochvějným krokem. Běžní občané, alespoň v České republice, se díky nepřehlednosti právního řádu nalézají téměř nepřetržitě ve stavu více či méně protizákonném. Stačí, aby si na takového občana někdo (finanční úřad, obec, konkurent, policista, soused) tzv. posvítil a překročení zákona zjistí téměř vždy. Strach z takového postihu je jednou ze základních mocenských pák nejen postkomunistických režimů. Je to síla, která nahradila moc ideologických strašidel dob nedávno minulých.

    Co na tom, že v současnosti je stav našeho soudnictví katastrofální a soudcům dělá potíže činit vůbec nějaká rozhodnutí, natož pak spravedlivá. Všudypřítomná korupce, elitářství a politické objednávky, to jsou problémy dneška. A do toho chaosu a zmatku ještě destruktivní zákonodárná mašinerie parlamentu a vlády. Neskutečná kvanta protichůdných a rozporuplných zákonů, buzerujících vyhlášek a nařízení, neustálé změny a v neposlední řadě nesmyslné určení kompetencí státních orgánů (a to oběma směry), tak vidí dnešní právní řád většina jeho drobných uživatelů. Malí podnikatelé už přestali tento právní marasmus sledovat, nikdo z nich se v něm nevyzná, a tak řeší jen nejnebezpečnější věci typu daně a občas bezpečnost práce. Ale co hůř, nevyznají se v něm ani sami úředníci a tak třeba na každém finančním úřadě funguje trochu jiný daňový systém. Nelíbí se Vám to? Tak se zkuste soudit, ale pokud nejste zrovna uhlobaron nebo majitel významného místního podniku, bude pro Vás jednodušší emigrovat do země, která naší republice delikventy nevydává.

    Kdo někdy komunikoval s finančním či živnostenským úřadem, úřadem práce, hygienickou stanicí, referátem životního prostředí, obchodní inspekcí, požárníky atd. mi snad porozumí. Když Vás chtějí dostat, tak Vás dostanou. Živě si vzpomínám, jak jsme museli doplatit DPH a zaplatit pokutu za to, že jsme dopravu montéra na stavbu účtovali s 5% DPH a on, zločinec, s sebou vezl asi 3 kg materiálu a 5 šroubů a ještě si hlupák nechal napsat dodací list. To je jen drobná úsměvná historka, ale když se sejde u piva pár lidí samostatně výdělečně činných, můžete podobné a lepší vtípky, často však o trochu smutnější, poslouchat celé hodiny. Nedivme se, že ti obyčejní pak torpédují právní systém ve všech oblastech, kde je to alespoň relativně bezpečné, zatajují, mlží, lžou a manipulují. Problém není v tom, že by nechtěli dodržovat právní normy či neplatit daně, jak podsouvá dnešní vláda, problém je tom, že požadavky zákonodárců jsou nesplnitelné. Mnohdy si naopak právě ti zanedbatelní a malí uvědomují potřebu rozumných pravidel a zákonů daleko naléhavěji, že sami zákonodárci, protože chyby v této oblastí mají fatální dopad v prvé řadě na ně.

    Výsledkem kombinace korupce, protekcionismu a šablonovitého přejímání západních právních principů je právní bezbrannost většiny populace, buzerace, která nemá s ideály svobody, rovnosti a demokracie naprosto nic společného. Je to ponižující a odporné, ne o mnoho lepší než za bolševické diktatury. Nemůžete se divit, že vztah občanů k vlastní politické reprezentaci pomalu konverguje ke stavu před devětaosmdesátým. Je vysoce pravděpodobné, že taková reprezentace v budoucnu padne za oběť prvnímu dostatečně hlučnému populistovi, který se objeví na scéně. Smete je naprosto stejným způsobem, jako populisté sametové revoluce smetli nenáviděnou bolševickou garnituru. Lidu se jen velmi těžko vysvětluje, že nepřítel jejich nepřítele ještě nemusí být jeho přítelem. České země (bohužel) díky krátkozrakosti a sobectví současných mocných čekají na svého Haidera či Le Pena a doufejme, že to nebude nikdo horší.

    Ne, nebudu se zabývat prognózou právního vývoje ČR. Je to celkem nezajímavé. Právní řády satelitních států jsou totiž z důvodu závislosti na jiné moci z principu věci nereformovatelné a navíc samostatný a suveréní český právní řád v podstatě končí. Doufejme, že právo budoucího (velmi pravděpodobného) evropského superstátu se bude vyvíjet rozumnějším způsobem, který zajistí srozumitelnost a použitelnost zákonů a skutečnou rovnost občana přes soudní instancí. Ale to už je téma pro docela jiný článek.

    Exactly How and When Could the WTC Be Wired With Explosives? Answer...

    by Repost from Progressive Review Friday April 23, 2004 at 10:19 AM


    Many people have theorized the World Trade Center was wired with explosives, causing the unprecedented collapse following the impacts of two jumbo jets. In fact, NYC firefighters remarked that day that it seemed like bombs were going off in the buildings, just prior to the tower's collapse. One glaring question remains unanswered: exactly how and when could such a monumental undertaking be accomplished. Read on for the answer...

    Feedback from the Progressive Review's Undernews for April 22, 2004.

    ||| SEP 11

    WE RECEIVED THE FOLLOWING from someone who worked for Fiduciary Trust on the 90th, 94-97th floors of the South Tower:

    "On the weekend of 9/8,9/9 there was a 'power down' condition in WTC tower 2, the south tower. This power down condition meant there was no electrical supply for approx 36 hrs from floor 50 up. I am aware of this situation since I work in IT and had to work with many others that weekend to ensure that all systems were cleanly shutdown beforehand ... and then brought back up afterwards. The reason given by the WTC for the power down was that cabling in the tower was being upgraded ...

    "Of course without power there were no security cameras, no security locks on doors and many, many 'engineers' coming in and out of the tower. I was at home on the morning of 9/11 on the shore of Jersey City, right opposite the Towers, and watching events unfold I was convinced immediately that something was happening related to the weekend work."

    Diebold May Face Criminal Charges

    After harshly chastising Diebold Election Systems for what it considered deceptive business practices, a California voting systems panel voted unanimously Thursday to recommend that the secretary of state decertify an electronic touch-screen voting machine manufactured by the company, making it likely that four California counties that recently purchased the machines will have to find other voting solutions for the November presidential election.
