[cia-drugs] Cold case with links to Bush 41 White House becomes hot again
http://www.waynemadsenreport.com/articles/20080710_2 Cold case with links to Bush 41 White House becomes hot again July 10, 2008 -- A new website has Omaha and other parts of the country talking The infamous Frankin cover-up of the 1980s may have been relegated to "cold case" status by law enforcement. But on the Internet, the case is far from cold. A new website, JusticeForJohnnyGosch is dedicated to bringing the child sex slave perpetrators to justice. Franklin is a story of high-level pedophilia, murder, and cover-ups by the FBI and CIA. -- http://www.justiceforjohnnygosch.com/Home_Page.php John "Johnny" David Gosch was kidnapped on September 5, 1982, at age 12, only two blocks from his home in West Des Moines, Iowa, while delivering newspapers. Soon after, he was drugged, molested, sold, and prostituted. This was not a random kidnapping. Johnny was clearly targeted; in the weeks before the kidnapping, he was photographed near his home. The man who ordered his kidnapping has links to the CIA. The identities of many of the perpetrators are known, and there are witnesses to these crimes, but NO ONE HAS EVER BEEN BROUGHT TO JUSTICE. Unfortunately, the FBI has only worked to cover-up details of this case. Why? This is where you can help! - Get informed. - Buy the related books. - Write the media. - Write your local and national politicians. Demand justice for Johnny Gosch. No kid in America will be safe until this happens. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdqgwnWI8D0 June 14, 2008 I would like to take this time to thank www.justiceforjohnnygosch.com for the website focusing on my son. It has been a very long 25 years since my son was kidnapped and sold into human trafficking, it is definitely a good feeling to have people still remember him. I will try to summarize the past 25 years into a few paragraphs. During the years of investigation there have been many trial and error situations as we worked through the clues, tips and pieces of information. I have had three private investigators over these years, who have helped immensely in constructing this huge puzzle. One of the major developments has been Paul Bonacci coming forward with the information he has shared and we have been able to verify concerning Johnny's kidnapping and the guilty parties involved. Paul's information was verified and ruled upon in Federal Court in 1999 by Judge Urbom. This was a tremendous development, I thought the West Des Moines Police Dept. would follow up with investigation, however much to my disappointment, I was told that they were not going to do any such thing. Once again, I was left with having to work on yet another aspect of this case by myself. I have continued all of these years to run a private investigation whenever there was information. In 2006, the biggest shock of all came when I received the first of hundreds of photos of my son. He was bound and gagged in this photo. When I looked at it for the first time, I could not get my breath. I took them to the West Des Moines Police for investigation, however in a newspaper interview some time later, the police department stated “they did not investigate the origin of the photos." That is such a shame as they still receive the benefit of my tax dollars, so once again I launched into investigation of the photos. Since 2006, I have been able to find out a great deal. Many/most of the photos which have been discovered have been found on a Russian Pedophile Website, which contains eight million photos of children. Yes, that is right "EIGHT MILLIION." At first I could not believe it either but it is true. Now what is a photo of a little boy from West Des Moines doing on a Russian Pedophile/porn website?? Who put my son's photo there? What we do know is that these photos are part of someone's collection that they have had for many years. Someone has kept them for a long time and only recently been making them public on the internet. I do not own the website www.justiceforjohnnygosch.com, but am very pleased that there is someone who cares enough to not only remember Johnny but to do a website with information about his case. A year ago, I had a report written by Retired FBI Special Agent, Ted Gunderson on my website... www.johnnygosch.com ... The report contained a reference to Robert Wadman, former police chief of Omaha, Nebraska. Wadman called me and threatened to sue me if I didn't remove the report. So I removed Ted Gunderson's report. However, he continued to call my home and leave messages threatening to sue me. Upon the advice of my attorney, I placed a notice on my website telling him to stop calling me or I would have no choice but to take legal action. The calls stopped for almost a year Then on June 6th, 2008, he began calling me again on my cell phone and home phone threatening to sue me. He apparently thought I owned www.justiceforjohnnygosch.co
[cia-drugs] Akha Journal: Bus Balance, Second Horse for "Ride for Freedom"
Dear Friends: Despite the fact that I was injured in an auto accident damaging five discs in my back, the horse trip is still on. We have paid the bus down to $4650 plus many other costs we have been able to cover so far to line everything up for this trip. We have also found the second horse that will be trained for Michu and the kids to ride. Now we have the two horses we wanted for this trip. I picked the new horse up on monday night north of Aurora, Oregon and walked her close to thirty miles of back roads down to Salem, a great way to get going with a horse. A quarterhorse Percheron cross, she was pretty hard to find, not so common of a breed. As soon as the bus is paid off we will be leaving on this trip. Route will be according to the weather and timing. The main themes of the trip continue to be "Nets for Laos", "Human Rights Network" in Thailand, stopping the seizure of Akha lands, and stopping the removal of Akha children. We are seeing some progress at the congressional level in getting an investigation into US involvement in Thailand during the drug war of 2003, the supplying of military weapons and police training, the vetting of individuals who commit human rights violations, functions of the DEA in Chiangmai during that time, monitoring of end use on weapons and equipment, and funding for the Chai Pattana Foundation, which has been responsible for seizing Akha lands. More updates on this as this investigation develops. Just to let you know, the US Embassy in Bangkok stated that they had no record of any seizures of Akha lands of late in Thailand. Apparently they are not very well informed. Thank you for your interest and support. www.akha.org has been down for a couple of days, should have that fixed in a couple of hours.

Re: [cia-drugs] Ron Paul
I'll vote for Ron---if he runs. - Original Message From: Mary Hartman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: cia-drugs@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, June 30, 2008 11:56:04 AM Subject: [cia-drugs] Ron Paul WE HAVE A QUORUM!! ! !! NEVADA CHANGES THE COURSE OF HUMAN HISTORY. ... Posted June 28th, 2008 by Jdayh For those of you who REALLY WANT DESIRE AND NEED TO HAVE A FREE NATIONNevada has set a landmark in the halls of history. Today they have reconvened and remade the NEVADA GOP...and even as I am posting this they are electing delegates to the NATIONAL CONVENTION.. ..(mostly, if not all, Ron Paul delegates) THIS WILL COUNT TOWARDS RON PAUL WINNING THE STATE OF NEVADAwith will allow them to NOMINATE HIM FROM THE FLOOR which is what this whole thing is really all about. Once he has a state that he legally wins(ie gets the majority of delegates for that state) He can then be nominated for President at the National Republican Convention. THIS MEANS THIS CAMPAIGN IS IN FULL GEAR! Here is a bit of information on how they are doing this legally They did not have a quorum based on the old convention, but that convention has been invalidated due to rule breaking.(see below in bold) So now they have a new quorum with full attendance.Which means it is fully legal and shall withstand the scrutiny of legal challenges that may come There is no "former" convention, the convention NEVER recessed. The convention has always been going on. Under RONR (10th. Ed.) sec. 20, p. 222, ln. 30, "A recess is a short intermission in the assembly's proceedings, commonly only of a few minutes, which does not close the meeting and after which business will immediately be resumed at exactly the point where it was interrupted. " Thus, by definition, a recess can never be used to close a meeting. Under RONR, there are two types of recess: (1) a privileged motion to recess, requiring a majority vote, or (2) a unilateral recess being declared by the chair if it was provided for in the agenda or program. On April 26th, a RECESS was not provided for in the program or agenda (even though the agenda on April 26th. may have provided for ADJOURNMENT at a particular time, completely different from a recess). Thus, the purported recess on April 26th. would have been valid ONLY if a motion to recess was made and seconded by the convention delegates, and the motion was voted on by a majority of delegates. Even then, however, the recess could not have been used to close the meeting. For this reason shown above they now have a new quorum that is roughly 300 (a bit more) delegates. And now business is taking place with full legality and force of law behind them. WE THE PEOPLE SHALL AND WILL PREVAIL!

[cia-drugs] Fwd: Laughing to Keep from Crying -- The U.S. "Economy" Is a Really Sick Joke
Begin forwarded message: From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: July 10, 2008 2:25:24 PM PDT To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Laughing to Keep from Crying -- The U.S. "Economy" Is a Really Sick Joke From the bad to the really sinister Richard Daughty http://atimes.com/atimes/Global_Economy/JG08Dj01.html The first half of the year is over, and now all those brokerage accounts and retirement accounts will be sending out statements to hapless account holders, and it is bad news in spades. This is why (I assume) the Plunge Protection Team (composed of the US Federal Reserve, the Treasury and bank insiders) tried to drive the stock markets up on Monday, June 30 -- to make those account statements look not quite as bad, and, hopefully, prevent people from dumping all of their stock and bond holdings in a desperate attempt to save something before the whole idiotic, fiat-currency, unlimited-fractional-banking thing just collapses. Perhaps this drop in the market averages (as demand overwhelms supply) is what prompted John Williams at shadowstats.com to write, "Overhanging the markets for a number of years has been the question as to when the major holders of excess US dollars in the global financial system might look to dump those holdings. An opportunity for that dumping is at hand." The reason is that "Most central banks know that their unwanted dollar hoards are going to generate long-term losses, but the oil markets have opened up an opportunity to mitigate some of those losses. For the rest of the world, dollar dumping now would reduce inflation risks outside the United States." This means that "Over the longer term, US equities, bonds and the greenback should suffer terribly, while gold and silver prices should boom." And it is not just him and me that are so gloomy, but a new study from the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) noted that a plunge in the dollar "may happen", as the dollar has slid 14% against the euro in the past year, handing foreign investors in US dollar assets "big losses measured in dollars, and still bigger ones measured in their own currency", and which is making people so nervous that "a sudden rush for the exits cannot be ruled out completely." Bob Janjuah, analyst at the Royal Bank of Scotland, has also advised clients that "A very nasty period is soon to be upon us - be prepared," which goes along with that bank's warning that inflation has paralyzed the world's central banks, and that of a full-fledged crash in global stock and credit markets over the next three months looks more and more likely. And the stupid banks (always the cause of all of economic troubles) are suffering from their own stupidity, and Bill Buckler of The- Privateer.com newsletter notes that "US banks have suffered US$391 billion of losses and write-downs from mortgage- related securities since the start of 2007, according to the data compiled by Bloomberg. US banks could lose another $300 billion on real estate loans during the year ahead." What makes this $691 billion loss so special is that "such losses could jeopardize balance sheets because the US banking system had only $1,350 billion of equity capital". Hahaha! They've lost two-thirds of all their banks' capital! Hahaha! Morons! Since all things are connected to all things, he says, "The sum of it all is that the entire US banking and financial system is so threadbare, fragile and short of capital that a collapse or crash in one place could knock the underpinnings out from under several other US financial sectors which would take even more down with them. A systemic crash -- at any time -- is today a distinct possibility." This is all in addition to the fact that morons who have kept investing in the American stock market are suffering losses, proving once again that the majority of investors must lose money over the long term. Spengler at atimes.com notes that when he says, "American equity markets show no real capital gains since 1997. That is, an American who bought the equivalent of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index at $954 in January 1997 and sold today at $1,278 would have exactly the same number of inflation-adjusted dollars." Mr Spengler concludes, "My advice to individual investors? Invest in some popcorn, because the next six months will be something to watch." (See How to stop the Great Crash of '08, Asia Times Online, July 1, 2008.) Jim Sinclair of jsmineset.com is more humorously laconic when he says, "You can be sure something really stupid is about to happen." He might have been referring to me, but I am usually stupid to start with, and so why would he just be mentioning it now? So, I think he means something more sinister. Much more sinister. And ugly.
[cia-drugs] Fwd: U.S. Financial Sector Has Lost $1 TRILLION -- Just in the Last 9 Months!

Crisis wipes $1 trillion from financial stocks By JOE BEL BRUNO, AP Posted: 2008-07-07 16:57:38 http://money.aol.com/news/articles/_a/crisis-wipes-1-trillion-from-financial/n20080707165709990009 NEW YORK - U.S. financial companies have lost more than $1 trillion in value this year, and yet another decline on Monday shows concerns aren't going away soon. Banks and brokerages began the week lower on the same fears that have been proven toxic since last summer in the ongoing credit crisis. The financial sector was hit with a confluence of troubles on Monday: cautious remarks from a Federal Reserve official and new capital concerns at Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae . The drop in names like Lehman Brothers , Morgan Stanley and Merrill Lynch caused the financial section of the Standard & Poor's 500 index to lose almost $150 billion in value on Monday, according to the rating agency. That means S&P 500's 85 financial components have lost some $1.3 trillion since the sector reached a high last October. Even more startling is that shares of 35 of the companies, which include insurers, have lost more than half their value so far this year. The financial sector used to be the index's main driver, and many economists believe that the broader market will rise or fall on their health. "Some would argue that perhaps the sell-off in financials is overdone, but at the same time there is just much uncertainty out there about write-offs, loan losses, and how bad the housing market is," said Jim Herrick, a director of equity trading at Baird & Co. "For a period of time the pain was in the big money center banks, but now it's spreading." Fannie and Freddie fell sharply after Lehman Brothers analyst Bruce Harting said the two government-backed lenders might need to raise billions of dollars in new capital. Both are facing a proposed change to accounting standards that would require financial services firms move bonds backed by pools of loans, also known as securitizations, off their balance sheets. If this rule is passed, it would end Freddie and Fannie's primary source of generating new revenue. Harting said Fannie Mae would need to raise $46 billion in cash to meet capital requirements, while Freddie Mac would need $29 billion. The broader financial sector was hurt after San Francisco Federal Reserve President Janet Yellen said problems in the housing market and banking system could get even worse before the economy recovers. Global banks and brokerages have lost nearly $300 billion from investments in mortgage-backed securities and other risky investments since the credit crisis began one year ago. And there are fresh signs that Wall Street's biggest investment houses are having trouble navigating through volatile markets. Goldman Sachs Group Inc., the world's biggest investment bank, disclosed in a regulatory filing that it lost at least $100 million on nine trading days during the second quarter. Goldman reported that total trading revenue in the second quarter fell 17 percent to $4.87 billion, according to the filing. The firm, known for aggressive trading tactics that can cause big swings from week to week, still far surpassed many of its rivals on the Street. That has put more focus on Merrill Lynch, which will report its quarterly results next Thursday. John Thain , Merrill's CEO, is said to be examining the sale of stakes the brokerage has in asset manager BlackRock Inc. and in Bloomberg LP. Money raised would be used to offset big write-downs expected at the brokerage. A spokeswoman declined to comment about numerous media reports. However, Thain in the past has said he is open to selling the stakes if Merrill can fetch a good price. Howard Silverblatt, S&P's senior index analyst, said financial stocks will likely continue to be hurt until some signs develop that show banks and brokerages have a better grip on credit problems. Merrill's earnings next week could provide that. "There's still lots of uncertainty out there," he said. "And, the financials need to turn around if the whole index wants to recover."

[cia-drugs] Fwd: Housing Market Meltdown Will Leave Millions Totally Dependent on Social Security

But don't complain to THEM: “You’ve heard of mental depression; this is [just] a mental recession,” said John McCain's economic adviser Phil Gramm. “We've become a nation of whiners.” Housing Market Meltdown Will Cause Massive Losses in Household Wealth Plummeting house prices will leave millions of homeowners dependent almost exclusively on Social Security in their retirement For Immediate Release: July 9, 2008 http://www.cepr.net/index.php/press-releases/press-releases/housing-market-meltdown-will-cause-massive-losses-in-household-wealth/ WASHINGTON, DC- As Senators McCain and Obama fine-tune their plans for Social Security in preparation for the 2008 presidential election, a new report from the Center for Economic and Policy Research (CEPR) shows that, due to the collapse of the housing bubble, the vast majority of Americans have accumulated little or no wealth. This means that they will be almost completely reliant on Social Security and Medicare to support them in their retirement years. The study, “The Impact of the Housing Crash on Family Wealth,” analyzed the wealth holdings of families in all age cohorts in 2004 and projected the wealth of these families in 2009. The findings are presented by income quintile under three scenarios- real house prices remain at current levels, real house prices fall by an additional 10 percent, or real house prices fall by an additional 20 percent. In all three scenarios, the vast majority of these families will have little or no housing wealth in 2009. “This extraordinary destruction of wealth will have tremendous implications for millions of families,” said report co-author Dean Baker. “Coupled with a very low personal savings rate, this means that many people, especially those near retirement will only have Social Security and Medicare to rely on once they leave the workforce.” The report projects that if house prices stay the same through 2009, the median household headed by a person between the ages of 45 and 54, those in their prime earning years, will have 24.7 percent less wealth than did the median household in this age group in 2004. These households will have accumulated just $113,268 in net worth in 2009, barely $15,000 more than their counterparts in 1989, whose net worth totaled $97,600. If real house prices fall 10 percent, the median household in the 45 to 54 cohort will see a 34.6 percent loss in wealth compared with the median in 2004 while families in the 18 to 34 cohort will lose of 67.6 percent. If prices fall by 20 percent, the most pessimistic scenario, families in the 55-64 cohort will experience a loss of 49.6 percent of their wealth compared to the same cohort in 2004. This analysis should also prompt serious re-examination of policy proposals to cut Social Security and Medicare for near retirees. Baker commented, “policies that perhaps could have been justified at the peak of the housing bubble make much less sense now that tens of millions of near-retirees have just seen most of their wealth disappear.” In analyzing wealth holdings for these families, the authors used data from the Federal Reserve Board’s 2004 Survey of Consumer Finance. The authors also used the S&P 500 and the Case-Shiller 20- City Composite Index to adjust for equity values and home price changes between 2004 and 2009. ### The Center for Economic and Policy Research is an independent, nonpartisan think tank that was established to promote democratic debate on the most important economic and social issues that affect people's lives. CEPR's Advisory Board of Economists includes Nobel Laureate economists Robert Solow and Joseph Stiglitz; Richard Freeman, Professor of Economics at Harvard University; and Eileen Appelbaum, Professor and Director of the Center for Women and Work at Rutgers University.

[cia-drugs] Fwd: [SPY NEWS] Jordan Times: Why the US cannot attack Iran
Begin forwarded message: From: "Mario Profaca" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: July 10, 2008 1:55:33 AM PDT To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [SPY NEWS] Jordan Times: Why the US cannot attack Iran Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.zawya.com/Story.cfm/sidZAWYA20080710033239/SecMain/pagHomepage/chnFeatures%2C%20Analysis%20%26%20Interviews/objC5C3675B-FF61-11D4-867D00D0B74A0D7C/ Why the US cannot attack Iran Jordan Times 10 July 2008 Iran's Revolutionary Guards conducted military exercises and test fired medium-range missiles this week after warning that Tel Aviv and the US naval armada in the Gulf would be targeted if Iran's nuclear facilities are attacked. It is significant that the person to issue the warning was Ali Shirazi, the envoy to the Guards of Supreme Guide, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, rather than President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who has a habit of making harsh pronouncements. Khamenei seems to switch between hard- and soft-line comments. Recently, former foreign minister Ali Akbar Velayati, a close adviser of Khamenei', called for negotiations with the West on the nuclear issue. Velayati said that since Iran has secured de facto recognition of its right to enrich uranium, it can now negotiate from a position of strength on the proposal put to Tehran by European Union policy chief Javier Solana. According to this formula, Iran would suspend enrichment for six weeks while the sides - including the US, which would join talks at this stage - would reach a deal for a permanent halt to enrichment and the provision of fuel for Iranian power plants. It is also important that Guards units took part in the exercises. Over the past two years, the force, Tehran's elite military formation, has been playing an increasingly influential and independent role in Iranian political life. Although the regular military and irregular groupings like the Basij youth corps and Hizbollah are said to be aligned with Ahmadinejad, the Guards seem to shift allegiances according to issues. While the US and Israel have not ruled out the military option as a means of preventing Iran from achieving a nuclear weapons capability, the Bush administration - which has just six months in office - seems to be cooling to the possibility. Last week, during a visit to Israel, Admiral Mike Mullen, chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, made it clear to Tel Aviv that Israel does not have a US "green light" to strike Iran. On his return to Washington, Mullen also stated openly that an Israeli attack on Iran would be dangerous and could destabilise the region. According to Anthony Cordesman, a senior US defence analyst, Mullen also told Israel it would not have US support if it took military action. Cordesman said during a visit to Israel that while the US has contingency plans for attacking Iran, it is unlikely that these plans would be put into action until a new administration takes office. In other words, Bush seems to have lost his taste for warfare. However, Elizabeth Cheney, former principal deputy assistant secretary of state for Middle East affairs, argued that it is essential for Tehran to believe the US will use force. Speaking to the conference of the hawkish American Israel Public Affairs Committee, she said that the "time for diplomacy" is "rapidly coming to an end". She all too clearly remains in the threat mode. Apropos Mullen's pronouncement, she criticised as counterproductive statements by those who say that force is not an option. However, regional analysts argue that the US public, deeply disturbed by the ongoing Iraq war, is not prepared to bomb or invade Iran to prevent it from developing a nuclear weapon which Tehran says is not the object of its enrichment programme. The Iranian position is backed up by last December's National Intelligence Estimate, which revealed that Iran is not at present trying to enrich uranium to the high levels required by nuclear weapons. Clearly Cheney Junior, who follows closely in the footsteps of her neoconservative father, Vice President Dick Cheney, is ignoring the risks of either a US or Israeli attack on Iran. Tehran would be likely to retaliate by cutting its oil exports, now at 2 million barrels a day, and closing the Hormuz Strait, thereby disrupting the flow of 40 per cent of the world's oil from the Gulf to markets. This would send the price of a barrel of oil soaring over the current $144 per barrel and, perhaps, even double it. A spike of such magnitude could plunge the global economy into a steep recession which would take a serious toll on the wealthy West, as well as the impoverished east and south. The dollar would fall further than it has already. Developing countries would be thrown into major economic crisis, which could have negative long-term repercussions for the international community. While the Cheneys and their ilk remain influential in the Bush administration, they would have to persuade George W. Bush of the wisdom of the malign and destabilising cours
[cia-drugs] Fwd: Cheney PERSONALLY to Blame for Iran Having Ability to Make Nuclear Weapons
Begin forwarded message: From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: July 9, 2008 6:35:47 PM PDT To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Cheney PERSONALLY to Blame for Iran Having Ability to Make Nuclear Weapons Halliburton Charged with Selling Nuclear Technologies to Iran in Top 25 Censored Stories for 2007 Source: Global Research.ca, August 5, 2005, Title: “Halliburton Secretly Doing Business With Key Member of Iran’s Nuclear Team,” Author: Jason Leopold http://www.projectcensored.org/top-stories/articles/2-halliburton-charged-with-selling-nuclear-technologies-to-iran/ Faculty Evaluator: Catherine Nelson Student Researchers: Kristine Medeiros and Pla Herr According to journalist Jason Leopold, sources at former Cheney company Halliburton allege that, as recently as January of 2005, Halliburton sold key components for a nuclear reactor to an Iranian oil development company. Leopold says his Halliburton sources have intimate knowledge of the business dealings of both Halliburton and Oriental Oil Kish, one of Iran’s largest private oil companies. Additionally, throughout 2004 and 2005, Halliburton worked closely with Cyrus Nasseri, the vice chairman of the board of directors of Iran-based Oriental Oil Kish, to develop oil projects in Iran. Nasseri is also a key member of Iran’s nuclear development team. Nasseri was interrogated by Iranian authorities in late July 2005 for allegedly providing Halliburton with Iran’s nuclear secrets. Iranian government officials charged Nasseri with accepting as much as $1 million in bribes from Halliburton for this information. Oriental Oil Kish dealings with Halliburton first became public knowledge in January 2005 when the company announced that it had subcontracted parts of the South Pars gas-drilling project to Halliburton Products and Services, a subsidiary of Dallas-based Halliburton that is registered to the Cayman Islands. Following the announcement, Halliburton claimed that the South Pars gas field project in Tehran would be its last project in Iran. According to a BBC report, Halliburton, which took thirty to forty million dollars from its Iranian operations in 2003, “was winding down its work due to a poor business environment.” However, Halliburton has a long history of doing business in Iran, starting as early as 1995, while Vice President Cheney was chief executive of the company. Leopold quotes a February 2001 report published in the Wall Street Journal, “Halliburton Products and Services Ltd., works behind an unmarked door on the ninth floor of a new north Tehran tower block. A brochure declares that the company was registered in 1975 in the Cayman Islands, is based in the Persian Gulf sheikdom of Dubai and is “non-American.” But like the sign over the receptionist’s head, the brochure bears the company’s name and red emblem, and offers services from Halliburton units around the world.” Moreover mail sent to the company’s offices in Tehran and the Cayman Islands is forwarded directly to its Dallas headquarters. In an attempt to curtail Halliburton and other U.S. companies from engaging in business dealings with rogue nations such as Libya, Iran, and Syria, an amendment was approved in the Senate on July 26, 2005. The amendment, sponsored by Senator Susan Collins R-Maine, would penalize companies that continue to skirt U.S. law by setting up offshore subsidiaries as a way to legally conduct and avoid U.S. sanctions under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). A letter, drafted by trade groups representing corporate executives, vehemently objected to the amendment, saying it would lead to further hatred and perhaps incite terrorist attacks on the U.S. and “greatly strain relations with the United States primary trading partners.” The letter warned that, “Foreign governments view U.S. efforts to dictate their foreign and commercial policy as violations of sovereignty often leading them to adopt retaliatory measures more at odds with U.S. goals.” Collins supports the legislation, stating, “It prevents U.S. corporations from creating a shell company somewhere else in order to do business with rogue, terror-sponsoring nations such as Syria and Iran. The bottom line is that if a U.S. company is evading sanctions to do business with one of these countries, they are helping to prop up countries that support terrorism—most often aimed against America. UPDATE BY JASON LEOPOLD During a trip to the Middle East in March 1996, Vice President Dick Cheney told a group of mostly U.S. businessmen that Congress should ease sanctions in Iran and Libya to foster better relationships, a statement that, in hindsight, is completely hypocritical considering the Bush administration’s foreign policy. “Let me make a generalized statement about a trend I see in the U.S.

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/LAC.20080707.NUKE07//TPSt ory/Front NUCLEAR POWER: U.S. MILITARY MEDIATED SALE Iraqi nuclear fuel stash quietly shipped to Quebec OMAR EL AKKAD AND ANDY HOFFMAN With a report from the Associated Press July 7, 2008 OTTAWA AND TORONTO -- Almost everything about the deal made for spy novel fodder: a multimillion-dollar shipment of yellowcake uranium, the final vestiges of Saddam Hussein's once-hyped nuclear program, quietly moved from Baghdad to Montreal via a controversial U.S. military base in the Indian Ocean, all done under orders of absolute secrecy. But for all the cloak and dagger, it was a relatively straightforward transaction. "It was business as usual," Transport Canada spokeswoman Marie-Anyk Côté said of the deal that saw Saskatoon-based Cameco Corp. purchase some 550 tonnes of yellowcake, which is used to make fuel for nuclear reactors. The volatile, but often transported, cargo arrived in Montreal by ship on Saturday. Although Cameco says the U.S. military, which helped organize the sale, asked for the deal to be done in secrecy, the Canadian government agency that monitors such transports was less paranoid. Ms. Côté said Transport Canada gave a lot of thought to where the shipment was coming from - perhaps the most volatile place in the world. However, if the agency did have concerns, she added, the shipment wouldn't have gone ahead. Still, existing laws for shipping radioactive material meant the delivery was subject to myriad restrictions - everything from packaging to the weight of the shipment to the emergency-response plan were tightly regulated. Uranium is classified under Class 7 - radioactive materials - in the transportation of dangerous goods regulations. Although yellowcake could possibly be used in a weapons-creation process, it does not pose a high risk if stored and handled properly. With major mining operations in Saskatchewan, Cameco is the world's largest producer of uranium. Company spokesman Lyle Krahn said Cameco was contacted by the U.S. State Department "earlier this year," and asked to join in the bidding process for the Iraqi material. Although the deal is technically with the Iraqi government - Baghdad gets the money - Washington had a significant driving role in the deal. The yellowcake, all of which is believed to date before 1991, originated at the Tuwaitha nuclear complex south of Baghdad. Military and diplomatic officials initially considered sending the uranium to Kuwait's port on the Persian Gulf, but such a route would pass through Shia-controlled areas of Iraq within close proximity to insurgents. Kuwait was also reluctant to proceed. After Cameco secured the contract to buy the uranium, U.S.-led crews began moving the yellowcake from corroded, decades-old compartments to about 3,500 secure barrels. In April, convoys moved the shipment from Tuwaitha to Baghdad's international airport. It took two weeks and 37 flights in May to transport the cargo to a U.S. military base in Diego Garcia, a tiny British territory in the Indian Ocean, before it was shipped to Montreal. Cameco would not disclose how much it is paying for the 550 tonnes of Iraqi "yellowcake," but Mr. Krahn indicated Cameco would make money on the deal. That would suggest Cameco paid less than market rates for the uranium. The spot price for the metal currently stands at $59 (U.S.) a pound while the so-called "term price" is about $80 a pound. At $59 a pound, the material would be worth about $72-million. At $80 a pound, about $97-million.
[cia-drugs] Fwd: The Current Crisis Deepens (draft)
Begin forwarded message: From: Scheck Richard <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: July 10, 2008 10:18:18 AM PDT To: kris <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: The Current Crisis Deepens (draft) La Costa, CA July 10, 2008 The Current Crisis Deepens by Richard Scheck For those honest enough to get beyond denial, the picture emerging from the current election cycle is truly bleak. Anyone supporting Barack Obama as the lesser of 2 evils must grasp the fact that he is as evil as Bush or McCain. His vote to support FISA, his stated intention to fine tune his Iraq war position and his many flip-flops on issues like NAFTA and public financing should make clear that he represents merely cultural (racial) and generational change (post-baby-boom) and little else. For some that may be enough. For those seeking an end to war, the restoration of Constitutional government, revitalization of our economy and an end to America's hegemonic behavior, Obama represents the continuation of failed policies rather than the radical departure many of us have wanted for decades. Scholars like Chalmers Johnson, Peter Dale Scott and Joseph Stiglitz have documented the drift away from the sane policies of the past towards imperial designs that virtually guarantee the political and economic collapse of our civilization unless a dramatic shift is undertaken. The FISA vote and the up-coming approval of House Resolution 362 supporting increased sanctions against Iran indicate clearlly that the major parties have learned nothing from previous failures and constitute two wings of one war party. The time is long past for a co-ordinated response from the left and right in unison against the manipulations and oppressive measures coming from their elected government officials. The latest glimmering of hope in this possibility is called Accountability Now-- a focused project to punish FISA supporting Democrats. It is doubtful this effort will be sufficient to ignite the needed shift towards the formation of a much needed new party but it represents another baby- step in that direction. We are in a pre-revolutionary mode now in which a long train of abuses and failures to respond to grievances are forth-coming from a unitary executive and complicit Congress (the latest outrage exemplified by former Senator and McCain economic advisor, Phil Gramm, telling the American people to stop whining). The feeble but well-meaning attempts at impeachment constitute too little and too late to side-track the American Leviathan that has emerged out of WWII and the Cold War with its penchant for global supremacy thru full- spectrum dominance, shock and awe tactics and violations of international law. Ike warned of us of the dangers of the military-industrial complex which is now triumphant in America and has created a quasi-Orwellian landscape run by Homeland Security with excessive surveillence and police state tactics. Under the delusion of American exceptionalism which serves the same function today as Manifest Destiny did for us in the 19th Century, our leaders continue to posture and threaten other nations thru pre-emptive techniques designed to intimidate them into compliance with our policies. McCain is a clear proponent of such Bushian tactics and Obama is as well, even if in a less obvious or more sophisticated fashion. His embrace of AIPAC, acceptance of exaggerated claims of an Iranian threat and willingness to attack Pakistan are clear indications that the progressive internationalism of the Democrats is just a different version of US imperialism from the Republican neocons' militarism. These foreign policy positions which have been used to evicerate our civil liberties here at home would be destined for failure even if the US economic situation were significantly stronger. In the face of serious financial set-backs; a collapsing dollar; huge debt; as well as spiking food, oil and commodity prices our ability to accompish such foolish designs remains remote. The rest of the planet is watching our behavior as well and has begun organizing to resist our excesses with such groups as the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, the newly formed alliance of BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India and China), the already existing OPEC along with regional groupings that have noticed our weakening condition and our taking action to protect their interests. The solution remains clear although elusive: we must give up our pretensions of superiority and return to the humble foreign policy our Founders promoted along with sound money and economics revitalization. A new party led by brave folks such as Ron Paul, Dennis Kucinich and Ralph Nader needs to form out of the ashes that will soon be all that is left of our American Empire. The prospects for that happening are remote; the

[cia-drugs] A question for any in the group
Pardon my ignorance here, but in reading about Blackwater's alleged plans to purchase 800+ acres of land to build a military style training camp in California, I couldn't help but wonder how many of these Blackwater training sites alread exist? Where are they? Who is funding them? And why do we need terrorist/mercenary training camps in the US? There are answers that seem obvious to me, but I don't want to jump to conclusions and would like to hear from more learned individuals with more background on their activities. Thanks

The documentary exposes Monsanto's controversial practices, which range from concealing knowledge of toxicity of PCBs to producing genetically modified seeds and related herbicides. A Monsanto declassified file stated that "we can't afford to lose one dollar" to worries about PCB toxicity. This, Robin says, sums up Monsanto's philosophy rather well.

Don't let Bush get away with it.
