We all know that the u.s.a. is intent on invasion so what incentive does Saddam have to tell the enemy what he has up his sleeve when he knows he is going to be blasted into Hell no matter what he does. I see no fairness in this situation and the logic is that of the 'mad hatters tea party' out of Alice in Wonder Land. If 'WE' are to be regarded as civilized, and a civilization to be looked up to, we have to obey 'Natural Law' and what we a asking of Iraq is anything but fair and 'Natural'.
In my view Saddam is no worse than most other leaders. What are we to make of Waco where the u.s. authoritues slaughtered and burned innocent women and children?. I have footage showing machine gun fire into the building where the people were huddled and the building was burning so that no one could escape. What of Oaklahoma? Footage shows that the building was wired by authorities. What of the Towers Sept11? We read in the book 'War on Freedom' that the interceptor planes were ordered grounded until Bush and his Generals ordered the planes up in the air 'ONLY AFTER THE PENTAGON WAS HIT' They were willing to kill their own for this big agenda we are seeing unfold. What of Pearl Harbour?. It is now accepted history that the authorities let it happed to get the people of America into the World War 2.
It is the same game played over and over. The u.s.a. had killed thousands of its own for its own agenda's. What of the the C.I.A. and it drug running programs and the thousands that die on the streets?. The drugs are pouring out of Aphganistan now and onto u.s. streets. Who is trying to stop that?? Not the u.s. military.
So we have alot to do to put our own house in order and I personally do not blame Saddam for his non complying. Would you if you were in his shoes? Of course not.
We have just marched for piece and the report to the U.N. leaves a grey area. The u.s.a. will no doubt push for war. We can only hope that other forces will avoid such a massacre.
Perhaps it is time to discuss the up side for Iraq if she does fully complie. I believe the best result now is to offer Iraq the opportunity to get on and rebuild their society, their hospitals and schools etc. The sanctions must now be lifted and then perhaps Iraq will have the incentive to get rid of any weapons they may have. Frankly I doubt if they have much.
I have just read a report where it claims the C.I.A. have sabataged the inspectors program from the start to ensure its failure. This is no surprize. It is time the world stood up to the u.s.a. and tell them we are not going to accept the kind of justice that is more typical of Starlin and Co. We have to keep 'The Bastards' Honest. Above all let us be fair in our dealings. Even with our enemy because if we are not, what hope is there?

CIA 'Sabotaged Inspections and Hid Weapons Details'
By Andrew Buncombe in Washington
Independent UK
Friday 14 February 2003
Senior democrats have accused the CIA of sabotaging weapons inspections in
Iraq by refusing to co-operate fully with the UN and withholding crucial
information about Saddam Hussein's arsenal.
Led by Senator Carl Levin, the Democrats accused the CIA of making an assessment
that the inspections were unlikely to be a success and then ensuring they
would not be. They have accused the CIA director of lying about what information
on the suspected location of weapons of mass destruction had been passed on.
The row is of heightened significance given the Bush administration's preparations
to argue later today before the UN Security Council that the inspections have
run their course and it is now time to move to military action.
France, Russia, Germany and other members of the Security Council are likely
to back a counter-proposal to increase the number of inspectors, providing
them, if necessary, with the support of armed UN soldiers, as a means of
avoiding a military strike.
The accusation of US sabotage emerged from a series of Senate hearings on
Capitol Hill. On Tuesday, George Tenet, the CIA director, told the armed
services committee panel that the agency had provided the UN inspectors with
all the information it had on "high" and "moderate" interest locations inside
Iraq -- those sites where there was a possibility of finding banned weapons.
But Mr Tenet later told a different panel that he had been mistaken and that
there were in fact "a handful" of locations the UN inspectors may not have
known about.
Senator Levin, from Michigan, responded by saying the CIA director had not
been telling the truth. Citing a number of classified letters he had obtained
from the agency, he said it was clear the CIA had not shared information
with the inspectors about a "large number of sites of significant value".
He said the CIA had told him additional information would be passed to the
inspectors within the next few days.
Mr Levin pushed Mr Tenet on whether he thought the inspections had any value.
The CIA director replied: "Unless [President Saddam] provides the data to
build on, provides the access, provides the unfettered access that he's supposed
to, provides us with surveillance capability, there is little chance you're
going to find weapons of mass destruction under the rubric he's created inside
the country ... The inspectors have been put in a very difficult position
by his behaviour.
Mr Levin said later he believed the CIA had, in effect, taken the decision
to undermine the inspections. "When they've taken the position that inspections
are useless, they are bound to fail," he told The Washington Post. "We have
undermined the inspectors."
Mr Levin has raised his concerns with the White House. In a letter to President
Bush, the senator asked that America provide the inspectors with as much information
as available.
He wrote: "The American people want the inspections to proceed, want the
United States to share the information we have with the UN inspectors and
want us to obtain United Nations support before military action is used against
Iraq."

Dear friend for truth & justice,
Open Letter to Mayor Lee Brown and Council Members of the City of Houston
Dear Mayor Brown and all Houston City Council Members:
I urge you to examine the massive evidence now encircling the world via the Internet that the administration of President George W. Bush, not only had prior knowledge of the 9/11/2001 attacks, but trained those who carried them out, financed and protected them, and has since covered up its own connection to those monstrous acts. It is now becoming increasingly evident that the 9/11 attacks were conceived from the beginning as a pretext to justify our nation's unleashing a horrific, pan-Arabian war abroad, starting with Iraq, and to quash the civil liberties of American citizens at home. This is becoming increasingly clear to people all over the world, thus the reason for huge anti-Bush demonstrations taking place in the capitals of the nations of every continent on the map. (On the streets of London, England, one million people are expected to be demonstrating against Bush's war next Saturday, February 15, in what may become the largest protest ever seen in that country. A simultaneous demonstration in New City is planned despite that city's refusal to grant the protest's organizers a "permit" for the assembly.)
In case you haven't encountered them before,
here are five links to sites that deal with the ghastly and criminal acts
by the Bush administration in connection with 9/11:
http://www.propagandamatrix.com/911_redux.html
http://www.propagandamatrix.com/archiveprior_knowledge
Regarding the last of these five links, I would most heartily recommend
that you obtain at once the book, by Alex Jones, "911; The Descent to Tyranny,"
and its companion video "911: The Road to Tyranny" (the video is available
in both VHS and DVD, but the latter contains several additional minutes
of information).
Those in our government who are ultimately responsible for this savage crime against the American people must be brought to justice, regardless of how high in office the guilty parties are to be found, or else we may soon witness a rapid metamorphosis of the USA, from a nation where there is still relative freedom, to a giant gulag where due process is sacrificed on the altar of "security." Already, Attorney General Ashcroft has given the chilling warning: "If you suggest that the federal government was behind the 9/11 attacks - you will forfeit your rights." But this is precisely what we must shout from the rooftops in order to stop our country from being plunged into a suicidal world war against 1.6 billion Islamics, and to prevent a Soviet-style police state from being set up at home that brutally crushes all meaningful dissent. The latter, Mr. Ashcroft has already promised to do, and believes he has been empowered to do, thanks to the subversive Patriot and Homeland Security Acts.
All council members are urged to examine the evidence in the enclosed links, and pass resolutions similar to those already adopted in municipalities around the country, nullifying within their city limits, those provisions of the Patriot and Homeland Security Acts which effectively overturn the Bill of Rights, and to call for the nullification of that insidious legislation, at once. Furthermore, I urge the Houston City Council to adopt resolutions opposing the impending and unnecessary war in Iraq, and to demand the cancellation of the unconstitutional war resolution passed by the enfeebled 137th Congress, last October 11, for which the process of repeal has already been started in Congress by Houston-area representatives Sheila Jackson Lee (Democrat) and Ron Paul (Republican).
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Gary Giuffré

capable of any lie ... in order to advance its war goal in Iraq," says a

"Advanced forms of biological warfare that can 'target' specific genotypes

the $wa$tika

rise to power, then extracting genocide profits from Auschwitz slave labor.[17]

that it can all be explained by healthy, short-term profit-seeking: "Support

expedience - " of profit, not ideology.[21]
This comforter has more
holes than cloth in it. For one, Hitler had proclaimed in "Mein Kampf" exactly
what he was going to do. Two, such commentatary glosses over conclusive,
damning evidence facts which is available on-line, in works like "The Unauthorized
Biography of George Bush,"[22]
or the late Antony Sutton's "Wall Street and the Rise of Hitler."[23]
Third, the corporate media have always covered up the 1934 plot by Morgan,

a fascist putsch. The unmistakable details and significance of the plot are

"The de facto
censorship which leaves so many Americans functionally illiterate about the
history of US foreign affairs may be all the more effective because it is
not official, heavy-handed or conspiratorial, but woven artlessly into the
fabric of education and media. No conspiracy is needed. The editors of Reader's
Digest and U.S. News and World Report do not need to meet covertly with the
man from NBC in an FBI safe-house to plan next month's stories and programs;
for the simple truth is that these men would not have reached the positions
they occupy if they themselves had not all been guided through the same tunnel
of camouflaged history and emerged with the same selective memory and conventional
wisdom." - from Killing Hope, Ù.S. Military and CIA
Interventions since WWII, by William Blum, p. 19, Common Courage Press, 1995.
Now when I first got the
manuscript of The War on Freedom, I sent it around to every publisher with
a door open, talking it up as the story of the century - indeed, a 911 exposé
was setting an all-time sales record in
So I published it on my
own, this case study in American quasi-censorship. I sent review copies to
300 newspapers. Normally, this should have netted 30 book reviews - I got
just one. Almost half the papers were in the "Association of Alternative
Newspapers" - nothing there. Alternative, or just the alter ego of the
same cryptocratic establishment?
OK, corporate media don't
review books from small publishers, and if it's anti-establishment, too,
forget it. But celebrity Gore Vidal has been trying for months to get his
review of The War on Freedom past the censors in the
Our "corporatist" model
for stifling dissent: toe the party line, or no big publisher, no reviews,
no best-seller, no impact. And don't bother telling your famously individualistic
fellow citizens the fault is not with you, but in the system. There are hundreds
of sites reviewing this book on the Internet.
Now where did the courage
in Common Courage go? Paradoxical behavior is often explainable by a hidden
agenda. Did William Blum have to write with such convincing irony that
"no conspiracy is needed" in the American media, in a book detailing a
dozen examples of media conspiracies as part of military intervention abroad?
Only a few independent
researchers have written about the CIA conspiracy to control newspapers
and television, starting in the late 1940's and called Project Mockingbird,
in which the CIA found that "journalists were cheaper than call girls,"
although the plot was officially exposed by the Church Committee Senate hearings
in 1975. They are fewer by one since "Web warrior" Steve Kangas, who has
some of the best research on the CIA's anti-democratic conspiracies and atrocities
on the Internet, was found dead from a bullet to the head, 2200 miles from
his home and 60 feet from the office of Richard Mellon Scaife, right-wing
patron of the attacks on Bill Clinton, a week after posting an article against
the vindictive billionaire publisher.[31]
Kangas' quote from former CIA Director William Colby says it all: "The
CIA owns everyone of any significance in the major media."
The establishment left
is full of brilliant critiques, but when it comes to "conspiracy," dogma
is inflexible - No Way. But what action can you or I take that can, say,
abolish the class system? The analyses coming out of the establishment left
are ultimately useless. Instead, if you could catch our neo-fascist oppressors
in a conspiracy to murder, bribe, censor, or what have you, then you might
start to shake the pillars of power.
It is said that for a
source of disinformation to be trusted, it has to be 90% accurate. The establishment
left provides 90% of reliable materials, in the form of chewable but inert
ingredients. Where they pooh-pooh conspiracy, the achilles heel of the
monster, that's the 10% active poison.
Many earnest "radical
thinkers" may be thinking, politics is the art of the possible-bla-bla
- I can't afford to risk my credibility with conspiracy theories, or I will
not be in the field to fight another battle another day.
Don't they see that they
are not fighting anything, just treading water while they sink? There will
always be a left-wing press, and a power "elite" to own that too, with co-opted
poodles to bark on cue. Our luck they don't own the booksellers - yet.
John MacArthur, publisher
of Harper's, one of the few courageous periodicals left, puts it this way:
"One of our big problems is that reporters themselves are helping amplify
the lies... it is not an ideological conspiracy by the media or
by reporters to keep you in the dark, it is a passive reaction, a sort
of folding inward in the face of political power.... it is the government
that sets the news agenda. It is a reward system."
It would be an odd theory
that people have become less courageous. More likely the cartelization
of media ownership, and the de facto one-party farce system, have changed
the incentives, from digging up stories to covering them up. As one author
says, "they follow the
The truth is out about

all chirp in cages gilded by Ford and Rockefeller Foundation grants, conduits
for CIA funding. These organs cater to a leftist agenda, while tip-toeing
around the charmed subject of CIA plotting.[33]
The conspiracy word is
equally heretical in the abstract world of academe.
VIII. The Perpetuum
Mobile of Poli Sci
the cult of irresponsibility
- the alibi of anonymity -
Determinism is a dull blade.
Trying to use it to explain the intricacies of political intrigue will
work as well as repairing a watch with a shovel. My old Poli Sci professor
once confided that political science is the last thing to study if you
want to be a politician. Politics doesn't work like that at all, and the
politicos won't have anything to do with you, he admitted ruefully - it
is all much more cunning and corrupt, well below the radar of academic theory.
Doubtless the power elite have established university chairs to pursue innocuous
lines of thought, and apostatize threatening ones.
The determinists, neo-marxists,
rationalizers and pollyannish pundits, seem to preen their sterile intellects
as the pinnacle of human intelligence, and never fancy that the ambitious
and power-hungry men whom they study could actually make self-directed, even
cunning or secret decisions which they, the cognoscenti in their white coats,
are not privy to, instead of behaving and sticking in their petri dishes,
and following dialectical laws like proper subject matters. Yet to say this
is itself deterministic. Of course, our boffins can not all be so clueless
- though all will have noted which lever in their cage brings the dollars
out.
They bandy a lot of of bandwidth
about to debunk so-called conspiracy theories. The phrase doesn't mean much,
since theory is any means of organizing facts, and a conspiracy occurs any
time two people leave a third in the dark - we all got into this strange
world as a result of intimately small conspiracies. Alex Constantine[34]
calls the doubters coincidence theorists, who cling desperately to a belief
in sheer chance in the face of the clearest and most intricately purposeful
designs. We might call our contrarian argument the instrumental hypothesis.
[also see nafeez' rejoinder to Albert on defactualization.]
This is just a variation
on the empty "free will vs. determinism debate." Obviously, both those factors
are always in play - like nature and nurture, that other inexhaustible rhetorical
chestnut. Actors may not create their stage, but they do act. We always need
to select the explanation that best fits the facts, and not opt for one
or the other school of "thought."
Determinism is the cloak
of anonymity that gives carte blanche to the cliques of the cryptocracy -
who would have us believe that not they, but blind forces are propelling
the state of the world. We don't explain the behavior of our neighbors by
abstractions. Joe acts the way he does because that's Joe. But the clique
are not our neighbors, and we lose sight of this. I say the cliques are carrying
on like this because they want absolute power, and not because of oil, class
struggle, or anything like that. As the Persian poet said, The mould is from
us, we are not from it.
Deep political conspiracies,
as distinguished from the banal variety like price-fixing, are like an open
secret. It's well known that victims of paranoia see imaginary conspiracies.
This works in reverse, too - being confronted with evidence of a conspiracy
tends to makes you paranoid. The healthy human mind has a strong built-in
tendency to reject conspiracy suggestions, to keep its equilibrium, because
the sensation of paranoia, where you conspiracies crop up behind everything,
is distinctly unpleasant and dysfunctional. It takes a strong mind and a
good dose of common sense to maintain one's equilibrium, while remaining objectively
open to plain and rational evidence of conspiracy.
An old joke sums it up:
Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get you! Of
course, we are all targets for the world. From the day we are born, we are
stuck on junk mail lists.
An ambience has been created
to give you just two choices: stick your head in the sand, or lose your equilibrium.
Either way you go, you are helpless, like the doomed occupants of the
The Skull and Bones clique
now in power has taken a radical twist to terror tactics. What if their intimate
links to the 3rd Reich gave them a unique knowledge base to develop an extremely
sophisticated and radical brand of mass manipulation? It looks like we're
under advanced testing and implementation of a new Orwellian scheme of mass
mental degradation to make utter putty of the mind and body politic.
The decade of high-profile
assassinations followed on the heels of Ike's warning against the war machine.
One wildly haunting underground theory is that the JFK assassination was
"a public occult ritual called The Killing of the King, designed
as a mass-trauma, mind-control assault against our
The nazis claimed they were
doing scientific work in the death camps. Were they destructively testing
the limits of endurance and solidarity of a large group of victims, measuring
the point of breakdown of each stage of social cohesion, human dignity and
personality? Wouldn't such findings be useful in subjugating their conquests?
And what if that knowledge were recouped by the Americans and Russians,
and is now being used to calibrate mass terror on us? Or maybe I should be
in the movie business instead of book publishing? Well, since election day
2000, we are living through the atmosphere of a horror movie!
Fascism hijacked
The artificiality of our
1.2-party system of Replicats and Copycrats has long been obvious. "The
real left has left, there is no left left." Right and left wing patriots and
activists will find they have a lot in common, in spite of being kept in
separate cages with contradictory ideological fodder for decades. Is the right-left
dichotomy another divide and conquer tactic?
IX. New England Gothic: behind the Pale of Yale
The Secret Scourge of the Skull & Bones Society
All three political generations
of the Bush family have been members of a fraternity at Yale called Skull
& Bones. This secret fraternity or cabal, a degeneration of freemasonry,
seems to be a key element in the "secret government."
By definition, reliable information on a secret society is not readily available, and inevitably, some of
