    The 9/11 Secret in the CIA's Back Pocket
    ROBERT SCHEER

    The agency is withholding a damning report that points at senior officials. Robert Scheer

    October 19, 2004

    It is shocking: The Bush administration is suppressing a CIA report on 9/11 until after the election, and this one names names. Although the report by the inspector general's office of the CIA was completed in June, it has not been made available to the congressional intelligence committees that mandated the study almost two years ago.

    "It is infuriating that a report which shows that high-level people were not doing their jobs in a satisfactory manner before 9/11 is being suppressed," an intelligence official who has read the report told me, adding that "the report is potentially very embarrassing for the administration, because it makes it look like they weren't interested in terrorism before 9/11, or in holding people in the government responsible afterward."

    When I asked about the report, Rep. Jane Harman (D-Venice), ranking Democratic member of the House Intelligence Committee, said she and committee Chairman Peter Hoekstra (R-Mich.) sent a letter 14 days ago asking for it to be delivered. "We believe that the CIA has been told not to distribute the report," she said. "We are very concerned."

    According to the intelligence official, who spoke to me on condition of anonymity, release of the report, which represents an exhaustive 17-month investigation by an 11-member team within the agency, has been "stalled." First by acting CIA Director John McLaughlin and now by Porter J. Goss, the former Republican House member (and chairman of the Intelligence Committee) who recently was appointed CIA chief by President Bush.

    The official stressed that the report was more blunt and more specific than the earlier bipartisan reports produced by the Bush-appointed Sept. 11 commission and Congress.

    "What all the other reports on 9/11 did not do is point the finger at individuals, and give the how and what of their responsibility. This report does that," said the intelligence official. "The report found very senior-level officials responsible."

    By law, the only legitimate reason the CIA director has for holding back such a report is national security. Yet neither Goss nor McLaughlin has invoked national security as an explanation for not delivering the report to Congress.

    "It surely does not involve issues of national security," said the intelligence official.

    "The agency directorate is basically sitting on the report until after the election," the official continued. "No previous director of CIA has ever tried to stop the inspector general from releasing a report to the Congress, in this case a report requested by Congress." None of this should surprise us given the Bush administration's great determination since 9/11 to resist any serious investigation into how the security of this nation was so easily breached. In Bush's much ballyhooed war on terror, ignorance has been bliss. The president fought against the creation of the Sept. 11 commission, for example, agreeing only after enormous political pressure was applied by a grass-roots movement led by the families of those slain. And then Bush refused to testify to the commission under oath, or on the record. Instead he deigned only to chat with the commission members, with Vice President Dick Cheney present, in a White House meeting in which commission members were not allowed to take notes. All in all, strange behavior for a man who seeks reelection to the top office in the land based on his handling of the so-called war on terror. In September, the New York Times reported that several family members met with Goss privately to demand the release of the CIA inspector general's report. "Three thousand people were killed on 9/11, and no one has been held accountable," 9/11 widow Kristen Breitweiser told the paper.

    The failure to furnish the report to Congress, said Harman, "fuels the perception that no one is being held accountable. It is unacceptable that we don't have [the report]; it not only disrespects Congress but it disrespects the American people."

    The stonewalling by the Bush administration and the failure of Congress to gain release of the report have, said the intelligence source, "led the management of the CIA to believe it can engage in a cover-up with impunity. Unless the public demands an accounting, the administration and CIA's leadership will have won and the nation will have lost."

    Brainwash victims win cash claims

    Karin Goodwin

    HUNDREDS of mentally ill patients who were subjected to barbaric CIA-funded brainwashing experiments by a Scottish doctor could be entitled to compensation following a landmark court ruling.

    Doctor Ewan Cameron, who became one of the world’s leading psychiatrists, developed techniques used by Nazi scientists to wipe out the existing personalities of people in his care.


    Cameron, who graduated from Glasgow University, was recruited by the CIA during the cold war while working at McGill University in Montreal, Canada.

    He carried out mind-control experiments using drugs such as LSD on hundreds of patients, but only 77 of them were awarded compensation.

    ...

    Using techniques similar to those portrayed in the celebrated novel the Manchurian Candidate, it was believed that people could be brainwashed and reprogrammed to carry out specific acts.

    ...

    Patients were woken from drug-induced stupors two or three times a day for multiple electric shocks. In a specially designed “sleep room” made famous by Anne Collins’s book of the same name, Cameron placed a speaker under the patient’s pillow and relayed negative messages for 16 hours a day.

    ...

    It took two decades and the persistence of Joseph Rauh, the distinguished American civil liberties lawyer, to uncover what happened and secure compensation for some of Cameron’s victims.

    The Guantanamoization of America

    Tehran Times | Oct 18 2004

    What is the so-called war on terrorism really all about? Well, one thing is certain, it is not what it seems.

    The ideologues in the U.S. administration claim it is some kind of battle between freedom and democracy on one side and barbarism and despotism on the other, a sort of battle between good and evil. This comic-book simplification of geopolitics is so patently absurd it hardly warrants a refutation. Yet, for the sake of argument, it should be said that the failure of these so-called defenders of freedom to address the root causes of what they call terrorism, such as hunger, poverty, injustice, occupation, and racism, gives the lie to their fake mission to save the world.

    Many Muslims believe the so-called war on terrorism is really a war on Islam, but they are only partly right because that is just one aspect of it. The campaign against terrorism is a war on true Islam, despite all the rhetoric coming out of the West about it only being a campaign against certain intolerant fanatics who claim to be Muslims. U.S. President George W. Bush’s use of the word crusade may be dismissed as a slip of the tongue, yet the evidence proves that is what he meant. U.S. officials’ remarks about revising the school textbooks in the Islamic world by deleting the Islamic teachings they disagree with makes the point loud and clear.

    The war on terrorism is also a war on Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, indigenous religions, and every other traditional religion and spiritual belief system. It is focused on Islam in order to divert the attention of the followers of other religions from the fact that they are being targeted, too. Islam is also the main religion being targeted because the powers that be see it is as more of a threat than the other religions.

    Many people in the global South say the war on terrorism is a war on the people of the Third World. The war on terrorism clearly uses rhetoric that is racist against the people of the Third World, and seizing resources of the Third World is obviously part of the plan. Yet, the scope of this phenomenon is even more far-reaching.

    The war on terrorism is also a war on the citizens of the Western world in general and a war on the citizens of the United States in particular. It is a war on civil liberties and personal freedom.

    The U.S. Constitution is a prime target of the so-called war on terrorism because it is a legal document protecting civil liberties and personal freedom. The restrictions on civil liberties and personal freedom in Patriot Act I and Patriot Act II are clearly violations of the U.S. Constitution, yet very few U.S. citizens have protested, either because of their fear of “terrorism” or because of their fear of reprisals from their own government.

    Fear and disinformation are pillars of the so-called war on terrorism. Places like the Guantanamo detention camp are used to scare people. There is now even a popular saying about the Guantanamo fear factor: “Stay in line or off to Guantanamo you go.”

    This is the Guantanamoization of America. And the Guantanamoization of America is one aspect of the Guantanamoization of the world. This is the goal of the so-called war on terrorism.

    The Guantanamo detention facility is a bizarre place, more akin to a medieval dungeon than a 21st century prison. U.S. officials have declared that the Geneva Conventions and the U.S. Constitution do not apply there. The prisoners, captured after the U.S. military’s invasion of Afghanistan and incarcerated on suspicion of being members of the Taleban or Al-Qaeda, have been classified as non-lawful combatants. Under this pseudo-legal classification, they are not considered to be prisoners of war or ordinary prisoners and hence not protected by international law, the Geneva Conventions, or the U.S. Constitution.

    Guantanamo is a legal netherworld. One can be detained there indefinitely without being charged with a crime. How can one describe such a place? Even words like Kafkaesque and Orwellian fail to hit the mark. Does no one see the irony in the fact that self-professed “freedom lovers” in the “free world” have set up a concentration camp to defend their cherished freedoms? Even if the Guantanamo prisoners are guilty of the most heinous crimes, should they be denied due process of law in a civilized society?

    It seems that the Guantanamo prisoners are meant to be an example and a warning. Stay in line or off to Guantanamo you go. Is it necessary to establish a police state to combat terrorism? Or is the so-called war on terrorism being used as a means to establish a police state?

    Unfortunately, one day U.S. citizens may wake up to find they have become a nation of Niehmollers.

    For those not versed in history, Pastor Martin Niehmoller was a Protestant clergyman in Germany during the early days of the Nazi government in the 1930s. He initially supported Hitler but later actively opposed the Nazis. He was arrested by the Gestapo in 1937 and sent to the Sachsenhausen and Dachau concentration camps. Allied forces liberated him at the end of World War II. After the war, Niemoller famously said: “First they came for the Communists, but I was not a Communist, so I said nothing. Then they came for the Social Democrats, but I was not a Social Democrat, so I did nothing. Then came the trade unionists, but I was not a trade unionist. And then they came for the Jews, but I was not a Jew, so I did little. Then when they came for me, there was no one left to stand up for me.”

    The so-called war on terrorism is a war on Islam, a war on all world religions and cultures, a war on the Third World, a war on the citizens of the West, a war on international law, a war on the U.S. Constitution, and a war on civil liberties and personal freedom. The so-called war on terrorism is itself terrorism. It is a war on the people of the world. The so-called war on terrorism, hand in hand with globalization, seems to actually be leading to global Guantanamoization. Is this what we want? Are we merrily going down the primrose path to dystopia? Is anyone paying attention?

    It’s time to wake up before we are all very very sorry and have no one but ourselves to blame.

    Speaking of security, Applied Digital's chief technology officer has described the post-9-11 environment as an opportunity, saying, "When people are trying to regain their peace of mind, they're more open to new approaches." The company already has invented a system that allows satellites to track the radio signal of subdermal microchips. If a terrorist sets off a suitcase nuke in an American city, federal authorities will demand that everybody have a trackable ID chip – and most of us, hysterical over the prospect of more homeland Hiroshimas, will gratefully comply.

    You don't want the chip? What are you, a terrorist? Come with us, sir, we'd like to talk to you.

    In that event, the only thing standing between Big Brother and the rest of us will be the ACLU diehards and right-wing Christians who have a fundamental conviction that to accept the ID chip would mean submission to the Antichrist.
    And when that day comes, you can expect the establishment to marginalize them all as anti-science religious kooks and political paranoids whose intransigence endangers us all.

    Whatever you think of their theology, the deep and abiding fear these religious believers have of global identification technology in the hands of government is eminently sane. You don't have to read the Book of Revelation like they do to know that these folks are rightly reading the signs of the times.

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

    Comment: This piece highlights the fact that globalists pushing the idea of a microchipped population continue to succeed in doing so because they believe they can get away with it. Although the columnist seems alarmed by and opposed to the move, he readily admits he is a "cud chewer" and at the end of the day will do not attempt to do a thing against it. So now instead of being known as the "nuts" who talk about microchips, we get labelled as "a strange-bedfellow coalition of hard-core civil libertarians and the "Left Behind" crowd, nonconformists" or simply as "fundamentalists and evangelicals". Why? What is fundamentalist or non-confomist about not wanting a microchips implanted in your arm? this insanity must stop NOW.

    Our Magical President
    17 October 2004

    How Bush goes beyond the Bible to create his own reality.

    By Jeff Sharlet


    The most magical president?
    The big religion story of the day -- Ron Suskind’s NYT Magazine fisking of Bush’s faith -- is also the big political story of the day, and since it follows so closely on Matt Bai’s inadvertent take-down of Kerry, it’ll likely provide wonk-gossip fodder as well. Is this the Times' idea of "balance"? More importantly, which aide channeled New Age chanteuse Enya by asserting that “we create our own reality”? Who are the “sources” who set Suskind’s phone a-ringing after the publication of The Price of Loyalty? And is George W. Bush the first magical president of the United States?

    Well, probably no one will ask that last one, but that’s what I was left wondering after reading Suskind’s report, only the latest in a long series of investigations of Bush’s faith. What’s surprising about Suskind’s summary of Bush’s “walk,” to borrow an evangelical term, is how small a role Jesus Christ seems to play in it. God gets a few cameos, but even he’s a supporting player. Front and center, though, is faith.

    Given what we know about Bush, from pro-Bush sources such as Stephen Mansfield’s The Faith of George W. Bush and the documentary George W. Bush: Faith in the White House, from the reasonably neutral Frontline special, “The Jesus Factor,” and from mainstream print investigations such as Alan Cooperman's, that’s a fair assessment.

    Believing, it seems, is more important to the President than the substance of his belief. Jesus Christ’s particular teachings -- well, those are good, too. But what really matters is that if you believe you can do something, you can.

    What Suskind misses, and what Bush’s more orthodox Christian supporters seem to dodge, is that this is not Christian doctrine by any definition. It is, in fact, a key element of the broad, heterodox movement known as New Age religion.

    A common aspect of many New Age schools of thought (though not all) is a gentle disdain for perceived reality. That's different from the fundamentalist aversion to worldliness; rather, this approach views the "real world" as that which is within the mind or heart or spirit of the believer. That idea is often dismissed as a modern bastardization of psychology, but many New Agers argue that their beliefs are actually ancient; and, despite the fact that the superficial characteristics are often of a recent vintage, there’s some truth to that assertion. New Age religions are, literally, reactionary, responses to what’s been called the disenchantment of the world. Another word for that process is the Enlightenment, with its claims of empirical accuracy. New Age movements attempt to revive -- or create anew --pre-Enlightenment ideas about magic, alchemy, ghosts, and whatever else practitioners can glean from a record for the most part expunged by institutional Christianity.

    Christian fundamentalism, meanwhile, is the child of the Enlightenment, a functionalist view of faith that’s metaphorically “scientific.” It's scripture as read by a cranky engineer who just wants to know how God works. The Bible, for a fundamentalist, isn’t powerful literature demanding our ever-changing discernment; it’s an instruction manual. And fundamentalists think that's a good thing.

    But Bush, we’re told time and again by supporters and detractors, is not a details man. Not much of a reader, either. He is a “heart” person, as pollster John Zogby’s Wizard of Oz characterization of the candidates would have it (Kerry the Tin Man, all brains and no heart, vs. Bush the Scarecrow, nothing but heart and straw).

    Suskind begins his accounting of the President’s faith with an encounter between Bush and Senator Joe Biden. Biden ticks off the ominous portents of potential failure in Iraq, many of them, apparently, news to Bush. Bush unfazed, replies that all will be well. “‘Mr. President,’” Biden recalls asking, “ ‘how can you be so sure when you know you don’t know the facts?’”

    What was the President’s answer? That God told him so? Please. Those who accuse him of hearing voices haven’t been paying attention to what he’s been saying. Did he resort to the fundamentalist instruction manual? Uh-uh. The President, we’ve been told, begins his days not with the Bible but with a pocket-sized book called My Utmost for His Highest, a remarkably opaque collection of daily devotionals published by Oswald Chambers in 1935.

    No, Bush’s answer was one only an EST instructor could love: “ ‘My instincts,’” he reportedly told Biden. “ ‘My instincts.’”

    In this particular sense, Bush does seem to be a descendent of the Enlightenment: He’s Rousseau’s noble savage, operating on the pure, animal instincts that’re true because they are, and are because they’re true. The noble savage does not live in what Bush’s aide contemptuously calls “the reality-based community”; he is in and is of a “nature” more real than reality, which, in an unexpected nod to postmodernism, Bush believers seem to dismiss as a social construct.

    Suskind and other Bush detractors (and make no mistake, Suskind’s story is a hit piece -- a smart, informative hit piece, but a hit piece all the same) document Bush’s tautological thinking, but they fall short of taking it seriously. That’s a point Mark McKinnon, one of Bush’s media advisors, tries to hammer home in brutal fashion when he tells Suskind, “ ‘When you attack him for his malaprops, his jumbled syntax, it’s good for us. Because you know what [Bush supporters] don’t like? They don’t like you!’”

    Beyond the schoolyard shoving aspects of this declaration, there’s some insight. Suskind reads McKinnon's comment as an attack on snobbery; in fact, it’s an angry defense of positive thinking, of creating one’s own reality. Bush believers long for absolutes, but they don't care about empirical definitions. They're not literalists, in the sense that they don't cling to language. In fact, they don't trust language, which is why they read clunky, soulless translations of scripture, when they read it at all. The Community Bible Study approach to biblical education through which Bush found his faith is not based on intense reading, but on personal meditations built around a sentence or two. Bush himself doesn't study the Bible; he samples phrases and invokes them like spells.

    Much has been said about his subtle use of scriptural citations as "coded" signals to his base. But every account of his worldview suggests that he sees no need to be sneaky. He is not sending secret messages. When he speaks of "wonderworking power" (a reference to the gospel standard "Power in the Blood"), as he did in his now infamous "mission accomplished" speech, he is drawing that power into being, to make his desires into reality. Politics, strategy, books, the Bible -- everything falls away in the realm of magical realism.

    There's a line in Dostoevsky's The Possessed that's always haunted me with its suggestion of a faith that transcends its own meaning. Shatov, a romantic nationalist, asks the radical Stavrogin, “Wasn't it you who said that even if it was proved to you mathematically that the Truth was outside Christ, you would prefer to remain with Christ outside the Truth?”

    Stavrogin denies it (he is, in contemporary parlance, a flip-flopper), but Shatov won’t be moved. He's fallen in love with this formulation and he decides to cleave nearer still to its tautological mysticism -- history, politics, scripture, even Truth be damned.

    It’s not for nothing that proto-fundie Dostoyevsky sometimes gets called a pagan. That beautiful, terrifying sentiment is a rebuke to all systems, to all theories, to the disenchantment of the world; indeed, it exists on a sort of astral plane, where Christ floats freely, unbound by scripture, a God not to be discerned, but rather, a God felt from within.

    Some will note the Gnostic resonance of such a belief system, but in the modern world it owes more to the resilience of magical thinking than to Gnosticism popularizer Elaine Pagels, who probably has not made it onto the ultra-exclusive short list of the President’s reading material.

    But Suskind doesn't even touch on that possibility. Although Suskind gladly admits that he’s a member of the “reality-based community,” he’s open-minded enough not to simply contrast his worldview with that of Bush’s. Rather, he finds a what he thinks is a middleground between the two in the person of Jim Wallis, a liberal evangelical leader to whom he gives the last word. “ ‘Real faith’” Wallis declares, “ ‘leads us to deeper reflection and not -- not ever -- to the thing we as humans so very much want…. Easy certainty.’”

    I happen to like the idea that faith is a path away from easy certainty, but I know it’s just that -- an idea. Wallis’ idea, and that of one strain of Christianity. It's not an idea shared by many New Age religions. Such beliefs emphasize that certainty is easy, if you'll just give up the illusion of reality, since certainty is as close to you as your own heart. One need not investigate with the tools of rationalism, but rather, simply -- the simplicity of it all is key -- feel.



    Bush feels. The press, so far, does not. In grappling with Bush’s presidency, it has expanded its range, developed a more nuanced understanding of traditional Christian fundamentalism, recognized liberal evangelicalism, and acknowledged the limitations of Enlightenment thinking. But it still can’t account for the kind of magic that says, If you believe you can do something -- become president despite losing the popular vote, launch a war without evidence, and maybe, if you REALLY believe, get re-elected anyway -- you can.

    Britská a americká vláda "používají informace získané prostřednictvím mučení"
    Británie propustila velvyslance, který poukazoval na porušování lidských práv v Uzbekistánu

    Britský velvyslanec v Uzbekistánu Craig Murray byl ve čtvrtek konečně propuštěn. Britské ministerstvo zahraničních věcí konstatovalo, že v něho nemá důvěru. Tím končí patnáctiměsíční sága boje mezi Londýnem a jeho velvyslancem, který "dělal potíže" svým pánům v britské diplomacii tím, že poukazoval na porušování lidských práv v Uzbekistánu. (Uzbekistán je zemí, kde se političtí odpůrci režimu ve věznicích vaří zaživa.) To se ovšem britské a zejména americké vládě nehodí, neboť USA potřebují Uzbekistán jako "spojence v boji proti terorismu".

    Murray tvrdí, že Velká Británie a Spojené státy záměrně neprotestují proti otřesným poměrům v Uzbekistánu, kde se běžně používá při výsleších mučení, protože americká armáda využívala uzbecké letecké základny pro válku v sousedním Afghánistánu.

    Proti Craigu Murraymu bylo vzneseno v rámci interního disciplinárního řízení 18 obvinění. Byl obviněn, že býval opilý v práci a že prodával víza do Británie místním ženám za sex. Nebyly předloženy žádné důkazy a Murray byl posléze shledán nevinným. Konstatuje, že v důsledku "kampaně proti němu" v britských diplomatických kruzích utrpěl nervový kolaps. V pátek ráno v 8.10, tedy v nejsledovanějším vysílacím čase, přinesl pořad "Today" rozhlasové stanice BBC Radio Four, rozhovor s Craigem Murraym. Nejvážnější je, že Craig Murray svědčí o tom, že britská a americká vláda využívají informace z Uzbekistánu, získávané prostřednictvím mučení. Z rozhovoru, který v angličtině v audioverzi naleznene na stránkách pořadu "Today", vyjímáme:

    Guantanamo Bay workers reveal detainee abuse
    10/17/2004 2:40:00 PM GMT
    ...
    The New York Times interviewed the unidentified workers -- military guards, intelligence agents and others – who described a range of techniques that included treatment they said was highly abusive.

    One regular procedure described by those who worked for the Camp Delta, the main detention facility at the naval base in Cuba, was forcing uncooperative detainees to strip to their underpants, making them sit in a chair while shackled hand and foot to a bolt in the floor, and forcing them to endure strobe lights and screamingly loud rock and rap music played through two close loudspeakers, while the air conditioning was turned up to maximum levels.

    One military official who witnessed the procedure said that such sessions could last up to 14 hours with breaks. "It fried them," he said.
    ...
    Lt. Cmdr. Alvin Plexico released a Defense Department statement in response to questions about the new allegations, claiming that the military was providing a "safe, humane and professional detention operation at Guantanamo that is providing valuable information in the war on terrorism."

    The statement said: "Guantanamo guards provide an environment that is stable, secure, safe and humane. And it is that environment that sets the conditions for interrogators to work successfully and to gain valuable information from detainees because they have built a relationship of trust, not fear."

    STUDY WHAT WE DO
    By Bill Gibson

    "In the summer of 2002, after I had written an article in Esquire that the White House didn't like about Bush's former communications director, Karen Hughes, I had a meeting with a senior adviser to Bush. He expressed the White House's displeasure, and then he told me something that at the time I didn't fully comprehend -- but which I now believe gets to the very heart of the Bush presidency.

    The aide said that guys like me were 'in what we call the reality-based community,' which he defined as people who 'believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality.' I nodded and murmured something about enlightenment principles and empiricism. He cut me off. 'That's not the way the world really works anymore,' he continued. 'We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that reality -- judiciously, as you will -- we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors . . . and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do.'"

    The Mark of Doom: Computer-Activated Biological Warfare

    In the not-so-distant future, a new kind of weapon could appear that would change the balance of political power in the world. This main principle behind this weapon: seek and destroy according to genetics.

    by Vasili Sychev
    October 17, 2004

    American scientists have declared that in ten years they will succeed in creating a radically new type of biological weapon. This weapon would be capable of infecting people according to a genetically predetermined marker such as skin color or eye shape. Infection could have a delayed effect or only begin once a certain type of medicine was taken. A recent closed seminar held by the CIA was devoted to the topic. The event took place as part of the Project for the New American Century.


    A slow sickness

    Scientists have been exploring the possibilities of selective biological weapons for some time now. This is roughly how these weapons would work. Genetic information is implanted into bacteria's "programming," reflecting the gene structure or gene combination of a certain targeted group of people. Once the programmed bacteria enter someone's system, they "recognize" their target and kill the person. If the genetic structure of the infected person does not correspond, the microbe dies without harming him.

    Even specialists will have a hard time differentiating bacterial ethnic cleansing from a regular epidemic, if only because the countries leading the development of these weapons could purposefully misinform the public. There will be few direct clues...

    Another difficulty is that this weapon could have a delayed effect. It could be turned on by a trigger mechanism, meaning it could target not only specific people but also people under very specific conditions. This means that illness could be delayed not just by days but for an indefinite period of time. Yet the moment the infected person, say, comes down with strep throat and takes antibiotics, the bacteria begin to multiply, leading to a severe illness that eludes diagnosis.

    "It is already possible today to create antibiotic resistant cultures," Alexander Prozorov, a professor in the microorganism genetics lab at the Russian Academy of Science Institute for General Genetics, told Expert. The most striking examples of this type of culture are streptomycin-dependent bacteria that only grow in the presence of the antibiotic streptomycin. This will make it hard for doctors to do much, as traditional pharmaceuticals won't help. On the contrary, treatment will only make the patient sicker.

    Political germs

    Yet the most terrifying new possibility is the hypothetical biological weapon that could infect people according to genetic markers. Not only would it allow for genocide; it would be created specifically for that purpose. A recent report by the British Medical Association stated that "the rapid progress in genetics could become the basis for ethnic cleansing on an unheard of scale in the near future."

    Three years ago, ideologues like US Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz and PNAC Director William Crystal were already discussing genetic weapons. They recommended that the Pentagon consider the possibility for using this type of weapon not only to successfully wage war, but also to reconfigure world politics. According to a PNAC report, genetic weapons could completely change the politics of the entire planet: "cutting-edge biological warfare targeting a certain genotype could turn the reign of terrorism into a politically useful tool."

    According to information from PNAC, Israel has also recently begun to work actively on mutagenic weapons. Israel geneticists confirm that Arabs carry a unique gene that no one else in the world has. This gene forms the basis for the Israeli research, believe American experts.

    Things look far more frightening, in fact. Genetic weapons could do more than destroy an ethnic group. They could kill according to a person's "usefulness" or "talents." American journalist and bestselling author Thom Hartmann has argued that it would even be possible to kill those with the gene for attention deficit disorder. This means that if you are easily distracted and have a hard time concentrating (there could be other selection criteria as well), you could end up marked for destruction.

    We will survive

    Fortunately, it is not as easy to create a selective biological weapon as some scientists are claiming. Though it may be possible to create bacteria that multiple only when a person takes a specific medication, the creation of an effective genetic weapon that would not harm the developers themselves seems unrealistic in the foreseeable future.

    "It is hard to imagine how a microbe would determine the presence or absence of a certain gene or its structure. Even a researcher armed with the last word in scientific technology has a hard time doing this. It would impossible for bacteria to accomplish such a task," believes Prozorov.

    And so on. Even if bacteria could learn how to identify specific genes, how would this information be transformed into infection? That bacteria multiply in the presence of certain antibiotics is clear, but how would information about eye and hair color turn into certain doom for the world's blue-eyed blonds? For this kind of weapon to become a reality, its creators would have to stuff the bacteria with a powerful "computer" to identify genes and at the same time arm them with the means to begin an infection.

    There is one more reason why this kind of biological weapon is unlikely to be as effective as the ideologues would wish. As Nazi doctor Josef Mengele put it, "Scratch a Frenchman and find an African." Humanity has existed for many millennia. In the context of all our past tribal and intertribal connections, it is not far from the truth to say that we are all brothers. "Over the many years of human existence, ethnics groups have intermingled to such an extent that the genetic structures determining ethnic identity have blurred and become difficult to recognize," notes Prozorov.

    Computers, engineers find new ways to keep tabs on you


    ANALYSIS
    By Robert O'Harrow Jr.
    Updated: 6:33 a.m. ET Oct. 15, 2004

    WASHINGTON - First there were security cameras, sprouting like mushrooms on street corners and buildings. Then came shopper cards, offering discounts in exchange for details about buying habits.


    In recent years, we've seen the emergence of electronic tags or "cookies" on the Internet, software that monitors e-mail, GPS devices that pinpoint our position on the planet, and a growing number of machines that capture finger- and face-prints.

    Now comes the news that federal regulators on Wednesday approved the injection of microchips under the skin, enabling physicians with the right gear to know who someone is without having to ask. And yesterday, the omniscient-seeming search engine Google bested itself by announcing a service to probe for information both online and in your own machine. One company official called it a "photographic memory for your computer."

    Google says no personal information will be sent back to the company. But if it feels like you can't do anything these days without someone looking over your shoulder, you're not just paranoid.

    Security under the skin

    By Sean Coughlan
    BBC News Online Magazine

    A US company has been given the green light to implant microchips in humans. It's intended to provide medical information ... but will it turn into a surveillance system?

    How would you like to have the equivalent of a barcode built into your arm?


    It would be convenient. A quick scan could save the need to show passports or ID cards. It would be handier than carrying cash or producing medical records.

    And a particularly clever barcode would let people find you if you were lost or abducted.

    Would it mean less hassle and more security? Or would it make you feel like a DVD tagged in the supermarket? Or like a criminal being monitored everywhere you went?

    These are the questions being raised by the emergence of microchips that can be implanted in people's arms - with the technology moving from geeky future-gazing to a mainstream proposition.

    This week, the United States Food and Drug Administration gave its approval for an implantable chip which can be used for medical purposes.

    THE MORALITY OF AMERICANS

    I remember as a child being taught that Americans were a moral people. Our moral superiority was the reason we had won two world wars, and why the rest of the world looked to us to establish the standards in human rights. Even the United Nations supposedly took their cues from the US in drafting the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

    How far we have fallen.

    The United States Government now admits having invaded Iraq under false pretexts. There were no weapons of mass destruction. Iraq had nothing to do with 9-11. Iraq was not supporting Al Qaeda. Indeed Al Qaeda appears to be a manufactured front group for the Mossad.

    Yet the supposedly moral American people do not speak out, do not denounce the leaders and media who lied to start a war.

    President Bush willfully engaged in fraud to activate the Congressional Authorization for the use of force in Iraq. The Authorization required President Bush to prove Iraq was in violation of United Nations Resolutions by being in posession of banned weapons of mass destruction, and that proof be provided that Iraq was connected to the events of 9-11. Clearly, Bush had no proof of either claim. The US Government now openly admits there was no connection from Iraq to 9-11, and that Iraq had in fact complied with the United Nations by destroying all of its banned weapons. President Bush lied to the US Congress.

    Yet the supposedly moral Congress does not speak out against the President who lied to them, who abused their trust, and exceeded his lawful authority. And the supposedly moral American people do not speak out against the Congress that has shirked its responsibility as check and balance on the Executive Branch.

    Vote fraud is rampant. Even before the elections, scandal after scandal over fraudulent registration, disenfranchisement, and rigged voting equipment surface.

    Yet the supposedly moral American people do not speak out, do not demand verifiable elections, do not refuse to obey and support politicians who cannot prove the honesty and accuracy of the elections by which they claim authority.

    A foreign spy ring is discovered inside the very Pentagon office from which flowed the now exposed lies that tricked this nation into war in the Mideast. The White House orders the investigation halted.

    Yet the supposedly moral American people do not speak out, do not demand arrests and expulsion of the spies, or that said spies be hunted down to the last, to wrest control of this nation back to the people of this nation.

    The United States tortures prisoners. The excuse was the necessity to find Iraq's weapons of mass destruction. But now we know there were no weapons of mass destrution, and that the US Government has been torturing innocent people.

    Yet the supposedly moral American people do not speak out, do not denounce the leaders and media who justified and excused the torture of innocents.

    What is shocking and amazing isn't what our nation's leaders have turned this nation into, but the silence of most Americans willing to tolerate it, to go along, to stay silent, to cling to the lies, indeed to see their neighbors' children go off to die in war. America is no longer a moral nation. We do not build, we do not lead, we do not set the standard. Obeisence to the government has turned our people from a nation of innovators and builders to a nation of clerks and accountants, sorting buttons and looking under each others' seat cushions for loose change, burying our noses into forms and documents and receipts such that we may not have to look at the horror that this nation has become around us.

    I will be honest; I did expect the release of the Duelfer Report, admitting there never were any Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq, to produce at least some degree of outrage among the supposedly moral American people. Instead, there was barely a whisper. And I am very dissapointed in Americans for that. This nation is lost, for the people are lost.

    History will visit a harsh judgement on Americans of the 21st Century, and sadly, most Americans will deserve it.

    Iraq's interim prime minister has threatened to attack Fallujah unless it turns in foreign militants, but a negotiator for the rebel-held city said its people were being asked to chase shadows.

    Iyad Allawi told Iraq's interim assembly that Fallujah must surrender Jordanian Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, America's top enemy in Iraq, or face military action.

    "We want to know what proof there is that Zarqawi is in Fallujah," Hatem Maddab, a member of a Fallujah negotiating committee, told Arabic Al Jazeera television, adding that the government had now halted peace talks.

    US warplanes have repeatedly struck at targets the military says are hideouts used by Zarqawi and his followers in the Sunni Muslim city 50 kilometres west of Baghdad.

    "Zarqawi is like the weapons of mass destruction that America invaded Iraq for," Mr Maddab said, alluding to Saddam Hussein's arsenal of banned arms that proved not to exist.

    "We hear about that name (Zarqawi), but he is not here. More than 20 or 30 homes have been bombarded because of this Zarqawi and his followers but only women, children and the elderly have been affected," the negotiator added.

    Německý novinář v případu Milošević: Válka v Kosovu zinscenovaná
    HAAG - Svědeckou výpovědí německého novináře pokračoval v Haagu před Mezinárodním soudním tribunálem pro bývalou Jugoslávii (ICTY) proces proti bývalému srbskému prezidentovi Slobodanu Miloševičovi. Svědek vyjádřil názor, že válka v Kosovu byla přinejmenším zčásti zinscenovaná.

    Soud ani nevyčkal rozhodnutí ve věci Miloševičova odvolání proti tomu, že mu byl přidělen obhájce a znemožněno, aby se obhajoval sám. Jeho obhajobu nyní zastupuje britský advokát Steven Kay.

    Německý novinář Franz Josef Hutsch (41), který působil na Balkáně řadu měsíců jako zpravodaj listů Springerova vydavatelského koncernu, byl předvolán jako svědek obhajoby, opakovaně však zdůrazňoval, že "říká jen to, co ví, a neslouží jako nástroj žádné strany".

    Hutsch, bývalý major bundeswehru, podrobně líčil své zkušenosti z kosovského konfliktu a ze styků s albánským povstaleckým hnutím UCK. Vyjádřil názor, že v Kosovu šlo o zinscenovanou válku. Poukazoval na to, že UCK úmyslně provokovala srbskou armádu k odvetným akcím, které pak byly využívány k obviněním z genocidy proti Albáncům.

    UCK měla zjevně dobré poradce, pokud šlo o práci s veřejností, uvedl Hutsch. Například kosovské Albánce prchající před srbskou armádou a policií zadržovala v lesích, aby je mohla předvést západním novinářům, kteří se pak postarali o to, aby byl celý svět seznámen s utrpením Albánců.

    V jiných případech byli albánští civilisté nuceni zůstat ve městech a vesnicích, na něž srbští vojáci útočili. Bylo jim zabráněno uprchnout, aby způsobené oběti byly vyšší a stupňoval se tak tlak na Západ, aby zasáhl ve prospěch Albánců v konfliktu.

    UCK byla dobře organizovaná síla, které pomáhali zahraniční důstojníci cvičení v Turecku, uvedl dále Hutsch. K financování nákupu moderních zbraní sloužily obchody s drogami a nucená prostituce.

    K nevyjasněnému atentátu v obci Račak, při němž bylo zavražděno 45 neozbrojených Albánců a který se stal rozhodujícím podnětem pro zahájení leteckých útoků NATO proti Srbsku, Hutsch uvedl, že vesnici krátce po události navštívil s americkým velvyslancem Williamem Walkerem. Poukázal na to, že k jeho překvapení americký diplomat okamžitě označil událost za masakr a zločin proti lidskosti, který spáchali Srbové, a to ještě dříve než byla událost vyšetřena.

    Pozn. jm: Jak účelově pracuje naše národní tisková agentura zjistíme, pokud se podíváme na stejnou záležitost v podobě, v jaké o ní referuje např. ruský deník Pravda v článku nazvaném Celá pravda v Haagu. Dozvíme se v ní prakticky totéž (až na to, že ČTK v jednom případě změkčuje Hutschovu výpověď slovy ´zčásti zinscenována´), ovšem s výjimkou posledního odstavce. V něm v Rusku uvedená informace byla pro Česko z nějakého důvodu vypuštěna. Totiž informace, že podle Hutsche 80-100 arabských důstojníků pracovalo s KLA (Kosovská osvobozenecká armáda) a každá jednotka byla řízena jedním mudžahedínem, kterému byly vypláceny "tučné sumy" společností MPRI, která je cvičila na základnách v Turecku.

    A národnost společnosti MPRI? Tipněte si! Spojené státy americké.

    Již jenom dodám, že české deníky Lidové noviny, Právo, ani MF Dnes ve čtvrtečním vydání o celé záležitosti NEINFORMOVALY vůbec. Zato jsme se v zahraničních rubrikách dozvěděli tak důležité věci, jako že Papeže čeká darem ferrari (Právo i Lidovky), Berlusconi se vysmíval německému sluchátku (Lidovky), Eminem zesměšnil Jacksona (Právo), Už dvěstě miliónů Číňanů trpí nadváhou (MF Dnes), nebo že Al-Kajdá vydává časopis pro ženy (samozřejmě teroristický!, v MF Dnes).

    Motorola, MasterCard trial RFID PayPass system

    By Larry Garfield, Wednesday 13 October 2004

    Motorola and MasterCard are conducting field tests of new mobile phones that include Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) chips embedded in them as part of a cashless payment system dubbed PayPass. The phones will be equipped with Near Field Communication (NFC) systems, which will allow them to communicate with nearby readers to, for instance, pay for small purchases or tickets for transit or events simply by passing their phone close to a reader.

    Once the phone and account has been identified by the RFID tag, the user's MasterCard account will be billed automatically by the network for the appropriate amount. MasterCard also sees potential for the phones as contactless readers, which it claims opens the door for "a variety of marketing and promotional applications", on which the company did not elaborate further.

    The PayPass trials will be run by the end of the year at various locations in the United States.

    NORAD/U.S. Missile Defence: A Detective Story That Gets To Innermost 911
    by Michael C. Ruppert • Thursday September 02, 2004 at 02:08 PM

    I will name Vice President Richard Cheney as the prime suspect in the mass murders of 9/11 and will establish that, not only was he a planner in the attacks, but also that on the day of the attacks he was running a completely separate Command, Control and Communications system which was superceding any orders being issued by the FAA, the Pentagon, or the White House Situation Room;
