-Caveat Lector- after the first week or so of bombing, the Taliban foreign minister asked for a two-day ceasefire so his government could find bin Laden and hand him over to a third country. Bush said no. http://www.progressive.org/webex/wx102701.html
The Office of Scientific Intelligence (OSI), which studied scientific advances by hostile powers, initially led BLUEBIRD/ARTICHOKE efforts. In 1952, overall responsibility for ARTICHOKE was transferred from OSI to the Inspection and Security Office (I&SO), predecessor to the present Office of Security. The CIA's Technical Services and Medical Staffs were to be called upon as needed; OSI would retain liaison function with other government agencies. [6] The change in leadership from an intelligence unit to an operating unit apparently reflected a change in emphasis; from the study of actions by hostile powers to the use, both for offensive and defensive purposes, of special interrogation techniques -- primarily hypnosis and truth serums. http://www.parascope.com/ds/documentslibrary/documents/mkultrahearing/mkultraHearingAppendixA.htm At around 9:15 this morning, a multitude of witnesses heard an explosion overhead, looked up and saw debris falling from the sky.....instant spin-control is unbelievable. When a man called in saying "I saw the WHOLE thing," there were sudden "technical difficulties" and we were not allowed to hear what he had to say. http://www.lewrockwell.com/orig2/duggan2.html Public Health Expert Says Solving The Anthrax Mailing Mystery May Be Easy: FBI Doesn't Seem Interested http://www.tetrahedron.org/news/NR011112.html Many are properly outraged that families of the victims of Sept. 11 are not getting the bulk of the money collected for them by the American Red Cross. The charitable organization is currently "reassessing" its decision to put less in its own organizational pockets and more into the pockets of the ones for whom the money was ostensibly raised. http://www.townhall.com/columnists/calthomas/ct20011113.shtml Art experts fear a sealed vault will not save a 2,100-year-old hoard of gold which is buried underneath a Kabul palace. http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_442323.html Faced with a FOIA lawsuit, the Central Intelligence Agency recently released an interrogation manual to the Baltimore Sun that details brutal methods of extracting information from resistant sources. The "KUBARK Counterintelligence Interrogation" manual does more than simply outline various psychological and physical torture tactics: it demonstrates a real-world application of the CIA's mind control research and offers clues on the agency's role in human rights abuses around the world. This report examines the historical context of the interrogation manual, the MKULTRA connection, and the manual itself, presented here verbatim for the first time online. http://www.parascope.com/articles/0397/kubarkin.htm What brought this picture more clearly into focus in 1990 was the recent publication of a book written by the Emmy award-winning producers of CBS's 60 Minutes, Monika Jensen-Stevenson and William Stevenson. The book, Kiss The Boys Goodbye, does not mention the main characters that played a multi-million dollar drama in Napa seven years earlier, but it does provide the missing pieces of a complex puzzle involving international intrigue, murder, Bankruptcy, money laundering, covert CIA operations, and the loss of homes and money in Napa. No, this is not about the Drug Tug or the LendVest scandal, though they are indirectly involved and the scenario demonstrates a parallel pattern to LendVest and the Drug Tug. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/agentsmiley/message/509 More than $100 million from accounts handled by a World Trade Center brokerage was discovered missing in the days after the terrorist attack, according to a lawsuit. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/agentsmiley/message/510 In 1990 I returned to Britain after two years abroad, and found that I no longer spoke the language. My difficulty was not with ordinary conversation, but with public discourse. The rules had changed, and I could not get the hang of them. I was baffled when a worker at a fast-food outlet handed me a solitary carton of milk with a cheery: "Enjoy your meal!" I was unsure how to respond when bank tellers or supermarket checkout staff addressed me by name, as though I were an intimate friend. http://www.consider.net/forum_new.php3?newTemplate=OpenObject&newTop=200111050017&newDisplayURN=200111050017 Three confidential documents from inside the World Trade Organization Secretariat and a group of captains of London finance, who call themselves the "British Invisibles," reveal the extraordinary secret entanglement of industry with government in designing European and American proposals for radical pro-business changes in WTO rules. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/agentsmiley/message/495 It looks like the media as well as the government are having an awkward time with writing the screenplay for the War On Terrorism...producing plot that is realistic and plausible enough to blur fiction with reality without disturbing anyone's conscience. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/agentsmiley/message/502 President Bush approved the use of a special military tribunal Tuesday that could put accused terrorists on trial faster and in greater secrecy than an ordinary criminal court. The United States has not convened such a tribunal since World War II. http://www.lasvegassun.com/sunbin/stories/archives/2001/nov/13/111302554.html?fbi+AND+sneak The White House has assumed vast new powers for internal repression, establishing by executive order an Office of Homeland Security that is not subject to either congressional oversight or any vote on the personnel appointed to run it. An all-encompassing political police agency is coming into being, through the passage of an “anti-terror” law that effectively amalgamates the FBI and CIA and abolishes the longstanding separation between overseas spying and domestic policing. http://www.wsws.org/articles/2001/nov2001/coup-n07.shtml On Wednesday November 7th Terry Donaghoe, an FBI agent and Steven Smith, a Secret Service agent visited the “Secret Wars” exhibit at the Art Car Museum in Houston, Texas. Following is interviews with Donna who was working when the agents came and Tex who is a curator at the art car museum. http://www.indymedia.org/front.php3?article_id=88850&group=webcast A conservative academic group founded by Lynne Cheney, the wife of Vice President Dick Cheney, fired a new salvo in the culture wars by blasting 40 college professors as well as the president of Wesleyan University and others for not showing enough patriotism in the aftermath of Sept. 11. http://www.boston.com/dailyglobe2/317/nation/Conservatives_denounce_dissent+.shtml Until now, supporting the United States in its war against terrorists has been relatively easy for many members of the United Nations. But faultlines deepened in the international coalition this week when President Bush informed the UN General Assembly that he intends to take the antiterror campaign beyond Afghanistan. http://www.csmonitor.com/2001/1114/p7s1-wogi.html Over the last two years, I've discovered documents of the Defense Intelligence Agency proving beyond a doubt that, contrary to the Geneva Convention, the U.S. government intentionally used sanctions against Iraq to degrade the country's water supply after the Gulf War. The United States knew the cost that civilian Iraqis, mostly children, would pay, and it went ahead anyway. http://www.theprogressive.org/0801issue/nagy0901.html ===== ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As I've often told Ginsberg, you can't blame the President for the state of the country, it's always the poets' fault. You can't expect politicians to come up with a vision, they don't have it in them. Poets have to come up with the vision and they have to turn it on so it sparks and catches hold.
