On a visit to Montreal, a border-patrol agent remarked that the fliers and discs could be considered objectionable material and might be confiscated. Zarmanov was allowed into the country with his property, but was warned not to bring such material on subsequent visits. Zarmanov was questioned rigorously on his intentions for smuggling paper and plastic into Canada. As if a thorough search of the vehicle in which the activist was traveling were not enough, the border-guard in question added insult to injury by stating: That sh*t [9/11 Truth] don't fly in Canada.

[cia-drugs] Fwd: Cost of the U.S. Bubble -- Global Economy Has Lost $7.7 TRILLION

Feb 14 03:20 PM US/Eastern http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=080214202021.5qwu7lx0show_article=1 The meltdown in the US subprime real-estate market has led to a global loss of 7.7 trillion dollars in stock-market value since October, a report by Bank of America showed Thursday. The crisis, which has spread beyond US shores to banks and other sectors worldwide, is one of the most vicious in financial history, according to Bank of America chief market strategist Joseph Quinlan. Quinlan said in the report that the losses are worse than any in the past few decades, including Wall Street's Black Monday of 1987, the 1999 Brazilian real currency crisis and the collapse of hedge fund Long Term Capital Management (LTCM) in 1998. An analysis by the US bank showed that in the most recent episode linked to subprime, or high-risk, real estate loans to people with shaky credit, world market capitalization was down 14.7 percent three months after a peak in late October. That compared with a similar loss three months later of 13.2 percent after the LTCM crisis, 9.8 percent for Black Monday and 6.1 percent for the Brazil crisis. The losses were also greater than those suffered after the September 11, 2001, terro attacks, the Asian financial crisis starting in 1997, Argentina's default on its debt in 2001 and the 1994 Mexican peso crisis. It could take months or even years before Wall Street and others get a handle on the true cost of the US subprime meltdown and the attendant global credit crunch, Quinlan said. While subprime loans were once thought to be relatively small in scale and contained to just one segment of the US financial sector, the opposite has become painfully evident over the past few months. A report last week by Standard Poors ratings agency showed global stock markets were walloped with a collective loss of 5.2 trillion dollars in the month of January alone. Quinlan said it is not clear that the massacre in equities is over yet. Against this backdrop, any investor that has been buying US equities on the dips over the past few months has, in general, dug himself a deeper hole, he said. In the end, the current financial crisis is one for the record books and one, more ominously, not over yet. The year's hottest artists on the red carpet at the Grammy Awards.

[cia-drugs] Fwd: Official in Charge of Auditing Federal Government's Books Quits in Disgust
-Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Fri, 15 Feb 2008 5:53 pm Subject: Official in Charge of Auditing Federal Government's Books Quits in Disgust Top US accountability officer quits over job constraints Friday February 15, 2008 http://rawstory.com/news/afp/Top_US_accountability_officer_quits_02152008.html The head of the audit and investigative arm of the US Congress announced his resignation Friday, citing real limitations on what he could do. David Walker, 51, a respected voice on fiscal matters, said he was making an early departure from the US Government Accountability Office (GAO) to head a new public interest foundation. As Comptroller General of the United States and head of the GAO, there are real limitations on what I can do and say in connection with key public policy issues, especially issues that directly relate to GAO's client -- the Congress, Walker said in a statement. He did not elaborate but Walker last year issued an unusually downbeat assessment of his country's future in a report that drew parallels with the end of the Roman empire. He had warned that the US government was on a burning platform of unsustainable policies and practices with fiscal deficits, chronic healthcare underfunding, immigration and overseas military commitments threatening a crisis if action was not taken soon. There were striking similarities between America's current situation and the factors that brought down Rome, he had said. These included declining moral values and political civility at home, an over-confident and over-extended military in foreign lands and fiscal irresponsibility by the central government. This was a very difficult decision for me, Walker said Friday of his decision to leave the GAO, which he joined in November for what was to be a 15-year term of office. His resignation would be effective March 12. He said he would become president and chief executive officer of the newly established Peter G. Peterson Foundation, which would educate and activate Americans while supporting sensible policy solutions on various issues. My new position will provide me with the ability and resources to more aggressively address a range of current and emerging challenges facing our country, he said. This move will enable me to sharpen my messages and bring focus and attention to the fiscal and other key sustainability challenges that I and others have been discussing during the past several years, he said.

[cia-drugs] Fwd: Russian state TV alleges US/UK drug-trafficking from Afghanistan
-Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Fri, 15 Feb 2008 5:12 pm Subject: Russian state TV alleges US/UK drug-trafficking from Afghanistan Russian state TV suggests USA involved in drug-trafficking from Afghanistan ? BBC Monitoring, Channel One TV, Moscow, in Russian Sun, 10 Feb 2008 15:04 EST http://www.sott.net/articles/show/148967-Russian-state-TV-suggests-USA-involved-in-drug-trafficking-from-Afghanistan ? ? Russian state-controlled Channel One TV has broadcast a report containing allegations that US forces are involved in drug-trafficking from Afghanistan to Europe. It also highlighted the problem of drug abuse in the British army. ? The channel's weekly news roundup Voskresnoye Vremya on 10 February noted that, according to the UN, the amount of opium being produced in Afghanistan has more than doubled since the coalition troops entered the country. ? The report went on to show former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair visiting the country at an unspecified time. It said that he had met almost 800 British troops during the visit. This is either a coincidence or the working of cruel fate, but this is the exact number of soldiers that the British army loses each year because of drug abuse. This is more than the total combat losses of the royal army in Iraq and Afghanistan, the correspondent noted. ? The report then featured an extract from a BBC news website story saying that the British army loses a whole battalion of troops a year because of drug abuse (Research revealed that the story was published on 14 December 2007). ? The report went on to look at the wider problem of how to reverse the trend of increasing opium production in Afghanistan. ? Aleksandr Mikhaylov, the head of the department of interdepartmental and informational activity at the Russian Drugs Control Agency, was shown saying that economic measures to tackle the problem are foundering on local corruption. The local authorities draw up seriously forged lists in which an amount is recorded for the amount destroyed and, in fact, the crop has not been destroyed at all. The theft of the money to combat narcotics is going on and is flourishing, he said. ? The accusation that US forces are involved in drug-trafficking came from Geydar Dzhemal, chairman of the Islamic Committee of Russia. Without the control and connivance on the part of the special services none of these things are possible. For example in Afghanistan, the CIA and the special services are quite brazen. Under the protection of the American army they meet the necessary people. They collect the stuff, go to the Bagram airbase and they hand in a large consignment of narcotics, which is then taken away, he said. ? The report went on to say that heroin reached the Balkans via Turkey, which has been a member of NATO since 1952 and is the USA's closest ally in the region. It said it is another amazing coincidence that Kosovo hosts the largest NATO base in Europe. The correspondent added that there is a secret Interpol post next to this base. Here they speak almost openly about Afghan heroin in American planes, he noted. ? A man captioned as Marko Nicovic, Interpol employee, explained that 90 per cent of heroin goes through the Albanian mafia, which is now more powerful than the Sicilian mafia. He also alleged that members of this mafia bribe European parliamentarians to support the independence of Kosovo. ? The report went on to link high levels of drug crime in Russia with the US invasion of Afghanistan. Since the Americans unleashed war on the Taleban, Russian crime labs have been working non-stop, the correspondent observed over footage of a drugs raid and packages of drugs being opened. ? Aleksandr Mikhaylov, the head of the department of interdepartmental and informational activity at the Russian Drugs Control Agency, was shown saying that the production of narcotics in Afghanistan is getting more professional and that drugs have taken a real stranglehold on the Afghan economy. The situation today is that narcotics have become a substance used for barter in Afghanistan, he observed. ? For as long as heroin remains the only hard currency in the country and until NATO and its military coalition do not resolve their own issues, the agricultural proclivities here will hardly change, the correspondent concluded. ? ? ? ? ? ?
