CANADA'S JUSTICE SYSTEM IS "LIKE DEBATING WITH A SNAKE" SAYS 
KATENIES  THEY JUST WANT TO GET THEIR FANGS INTO SOMETHING & WILL 
POUNCE AT ANYTHING  
MNN.  Oct. 22, 2008.  Early Tuesday morning the Akwesasne Mohawk 
Colonial Cops went to Katenies' mother's house in Akwesasne.  This 
community is located at the junction of the colonial entities known 
as New York State, Ontario and Quebec.  Her soft-spoken mother is 
always cautious.  They apparently wanted to drive Katenies to court 
in Alexandria Ontario for a trial - or did they really want to abduct 
her again?   For all we know, it wouldn't have been just jail this 
time.  She might have been "disappeared" for good.  It seems like 
these operatives are getting their advice from the same "death 
squads" that make disappearances happen in "Latin" America.   
The corporate press calls Katenies an outspoken "native rights 
activist".  How?  She is a quiet person who hardly speaks to anyone.  
Even when she went to court, she put her arguments about jurisdiction 
in writing and filed it as a motion.   The court refused to 
acknowledge it or give her a chance to speak.  That's because they 
can't answer her arguments.  They are out to get her.  
Oh, what a tangled web we weave when we are honest with the 
deceivers.  In 2003 Katenies was falsely charged with "running the 
border" which goes right through the middle of the community.  She 
was on her way to see her daughter who lives nearby on the portion 
claimed by Ontario.  Katenies was waved through.  Then she heard on 
the scanner that bells, whistles and sirens had gone off for her 
daughter.  Katenies went back and was arrested.  What followed were 
illegal warrants upon warrants upon warrants to wear her out and try 
to break her spirit.  It wasn't working. This made the 
colonial "terrorists" known as the "crown" real mad.  
The crown had ignored Katenies' question on jurisdiction and 
proceeded to trial.  She was never arraigned.  Years have passed 
since the deadline expired.  In law failure to respond is taken as an 
admission. On January 17, 2007, she placed a motion before the court 
that the Canadian judicial system has no authority over her as a 
Kanion'ke:haka woman and to dismiss the charges.  The law of the land 
is the Kaianereh'ko:wa which they have been violating.   
She did not show up on Tuesday October 21 2008 because the issue had 
been dealt with.  In February 2004 Judge Renaud had reassured 
Katenies that he understood the motion and would answer it.  In 
September 2004 he told her she did not have to be in court.  Then he 
double-crossed her and issued a warrant for her arrest.  This time in 
Alexandria Judge Renaud impatiently waited for the cops to bring 
Katenies into his courtroom.  "What I would like to do is issue the 
[fifth] bench warrant and recess the court for an hour," said the 
judge to federal and provincial Crown attorneys, Marian Bryant and 
Helene Desormeau.  An hour went by and there was no sign of 
Katenies.  There was no trophy to parade.
What is Renaud's bench warrant worth?  The court has already admitted 
that it has no jurisdiction over Katenies.  She won by default.  
Paradoxically, Katenies is the one who is respecting the court's 
decision.  Renaud is violating his own court's rule.  
Akwesasne Mohawk Police officer, Philip Swamp, arrived.  He said that 
unfortunately he was appearing "empty-handed".  He didn't have 
Katenies in his clutches.  Swamp reiterated that Henes Porter had 
gone to her  mother's home.  As a member of the Liar's Club, Porter 
made a false claim.  He said that she told him Katenies no longer 
lives there and that she could possibly be living in Valleyfield, 
Quebec!!  This is complete speculation! It violates Canadian rules 
designed to make sure that firsthand truth comes out in court.  This 
lie was repeated by a local flyer known as the "Cornwall Standard 
Freeholder".   
In mid-May 2008, someone came to Kahentinetha's house and warned her 
to "watch out" for her life and not to enter Ontario.  It was alleged 
that Ontario Provincial Police OPP Commissioner Julian "Corleone" 
Fantino was gunning for her.  "If you go there, you might be killed 
or "disappeared", she was told.  She did not take this warning 
seriously.   Just a couple of weeks later she and Katenies were 
passing through the Cornwall Ontario check point.  They had no reason 
to suspect their lives were in danger.  Both were almost assassinated 
by the "jackasses" of the Canada Border Services Agency [CBSA].  They 
were assaulted, beaten and almost killed.  The goons performed a well-
known Abu Graib style torture "stress hold" technique on 
Kahentinetha.  This induced a heart attack.  
Things have really gone off course.  Who would have thought that 
Canadian cops and border control goons had been trained in such 
subversive tactics?  This was no

ROUTINE CBSA "CHILD ABUSE" CONTINUES - FINALLY! CANADIAN COURT 
RECOGNIZES THAT KAHNAWAKE AND AKWESASNE ARE NOT PART OF CANADA .. 

MNN.  October 26, 2008.  A top dog at the Federal Court of Canada, 
Prothonotary Madame Mireille Tabib agrees with us. She recognizes 
that Akwesasne and Kahnawake are not part of Canada.  

Finally!!  This is what we've been saying all along!!  Since 1783 
when Britain illegally agreed with the U.S. rebels to divide up our 
land without our knowledge or consent.

Katenies is a resident of Akwesasne.  Kahentinetha is a resident of 
Kahnawake.  Madam Tabib's October 23, 2008 Order in Kahentinetha and 
Katenies versus the Queen, Docket T- 1309-08, found that neither of 
these two women are "residents in Canada".  

But she's not our friend. She did this because she wants to erect a 
barrier to justice.  She ordered them to put up $6,500 to pay the 
legal expenses of the Crown before the Federal Court will even look 
at evidence of the assaults and attempted murder carried out by the 
Canadian Border Services Agency CBSA  goons at the Cornwall Ontario 
Border on June 14, 2008. 

Have you ever heard of such a thing?  Since when did victims have to 
pay the state to prosecute criminals?  How is this protection?  After 
all, Canada does claim that the Queen sent them over here to protect 
us.  This makes it clear who we need protection from - them!!!  

Madam Tabib's Order proves that the issue of the 500 missing 
Indigenous women [3,000 plus really!] is no accident.  The Canadian 
state is out to `git' Indigenous women!   

This explains another mystery.  Even though Madam Tabib has now 
recognized that Akwesasne and Kahnawake are not part of Canada, CBSA 
agents are still threatening Akwesasne residents, particularly young 
women.   

This is serious.

We want them to get their steroid laden jackasses off our land real 
quick.  We're sick and tired of their child abuse and their death-
squad mentality.

Halloween would be a suitable time for them to clear out.  They'll 
fit in perfectly with the vampires, monsters and ghouls that night!

Canadians do not all support this institutionalized evil.

The Canadian Human Rights Commission CHRC is on our side.  Two years 
ago a young Akwesasne mother filed a complaint after she was racially 
and sexually harassed and forced to submit to several shots of the 
VACIS x-ray machine intended for use on commercial transport 
vehicles.  As a result she had to abort her unborn child and her 
family has suffered untold stress and grief.  

Canada acts slowly, but when the CHRC report [file number 20061366] 
finally came in on October 1st 2008, it found that an inquiry is 
needed.  In its words, there was "a complete lack of core values like 
cooperation, respect, integrity and professionalism towards the 
complainant because of her race".

The CHRC report hasn't had any effect on the conduct of the CBSA 
brutes who are accustomed to running rough shod over international 
accords that Canada has signed, like the "International Convention on 
Civil and Political Rights", the "International Convention on the 
Rights of the Child" and even the "International Convention Against 
Torture" and other degrading and inhuman treatment.  They haven't 
heard of Madam Tabib's finding that Akwesasne isn't part of Canada 
either. Those cruel goons are still there, using their razor-in-the-
apple-type Halloween dirty tricks. 

The aggrieved young mother is still being harassed while she prepares 
her response to the Canadian Human Rights Commission.  On Saturday, 
October 25th, on her way home from visiting relatives, she was pulled 
out of the "Indian lane" at the Cornwall border checkpoint which is a 
few yards from her home. 

The CBSA told her to get out of her vehicle and leave her sleeping 
infant unattended so they could do what they called a "routine 
check".  When she refused, they said "What? Don't you trust us to 
look after your baby?"  

Why should she?  As both she and the CBSA know, abuse is common.  
Canadian police and the CBSA refuse to investigate complaints filed 
with them by the Mohawks.  Hundreds have been registered with the 
Mohawk Band Council of Akwesasne.  Those guards know full well that 
this young woman wants the border removed and criminal charges filed 
against them.  

Would you trust these cannibals to baby-sit your child?

When the young mother challenged these sadists to show her what law 
allows them to force her to leave her infant unattended in the car, 
they ordered her to wake up her baby.  

She refused.  After a big rigamorole, they finally let her go home. 
She was so shaken that her 8 year old daughter said, "They bothered 
you at the border again, didn't they, Mom?"  So the family still 
lives in a climate of fear, despite the support of th

The "dirty little secret" of the US bank bailout
27 October 2008

In an unusually frank article published in Saturday's New York Times,  
the
newspaper's economic columnist, Joe Nocera, reveals what he calls "the  
dirty
little secret of the banking industry"--namely, that "it has no  
intention of

using the [government bailout] money to make new loans."

As Nocera explains, the plan announced October 13 by Treasury  
Secretary Henry
Paulson to hand over $250 billion in taxpayer money to the biggest  
banks, in
exchange for non-voting stock, was never really intended to get them  
to resume
lending to businesses and consumers--the ostensible purpose of the  
bailout. Its
essential aim was to engineer a rapid consolidation of the American  
banking
system by subsidizing a wave of takeovers of smaller financial firms  
by the

most powerful banks.

Nocera cites an employee-only conference call held October 17 by a top
executive of JPMorgan Chase, the beneficiary of $25 billion in public  
funds.
Nocera explains that he obtained the call-in number and was able to  
listen to a
recording of the proceedings, unbeknownst to the executive, whom he  
declines to

name.

Asked by one of the participants whether the $25 billion in federal  
funding
will "change our strategic lending policy," the executive replies:  
"What we do
think, it will help us to be a little bit more active on the  
acquisition side

or opportunistic side for some banks who are still struggling."

Referring to JPMorgan's recent government-backed acquisition of two  
large
competitors, the executive continues: "And I would not assume that we  
are done
on the acquisition side just because of the Washington Mutual and Bear  
Stearns
mergers. I think there are going to be some great opportunities for us  
to grow
in this environment, and I think we have an opportunity to use that  
$25 billion
in that way, and obviously depending on whether recession turns into  
depression

or what happens in the future, you know, we have that as a backstop."

As Nocera notes: "Read that answer as many times as you want--you are  
not going

to find a single word in there about making loans to help the American
economy."

Later in the conference call the same executive states, "We would  
think that
loan volume will continue to go down as we continue to tighten credit  
to fully

reflect the high cost of pricing on the loan side."

"It is starting to appear," the Times columnist writes, "as if one of  
the
Treasury's key rationales for the recapitalization program--namely,  
that it
will cause banks to start lending again--is a fig leaf In fact,  
Treasury
wants banks to acquire each other and is using its power to inject  
capital to

force a new and wrenching round of bank consolidation."

Early this month, he explains, "in a nearly unnoticed move," Paulson,  
the
former CEO of Goldman Sachs, put in place a new tax break worth  
billions of
dollars that is designed to encourage bank mergers. It allows the  
acquiring

bank to immediately deduct any losses on the books of the acquired bank.

Paulson and other Treasury officials have made public statements  
calling on the

banks that receive public funds to use them to increase their lending
activities. That, however, is for public consumption. The bailout  
program
imposes no lending requirements on the banks in return for government  
cash.

Already, the credit crisis has been used to engineer the takeover of  
Bear
Stearns and Washington Mutual by JPMorgan, Merrill Lynch by Bank of  
America,

Wachovia by Wells Fargo and, last Friday, National City by PNC.

What the Wall Street Journal on Saturday called the "strong-arm sale" of
National City provides a taste of what is to come. The Treasury  
Department
sealed the fate of the Cleveland-based bank by deciding not to include  
it among

the regional banks that will receive government handouts. It then gave
Pittsburgh-based PNC $7.7 billion from the bailout fund to help defray  
the
costs of a takeover of National City. PNC will also benefit greatly  
from the

tax write-off on mergers enacted by Treasury.

All of the claims that were made to justify the bank bailout have been  
exposed
as lies. President Bush, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and  
Paulson were
joined by the Democratic congressional leadership and Barack Obama in  
warning
that the bailout had to be passed, and passed immediately, despite  
massive
popular opposition. Those who opposed the plan were denounced for  
jeopardizing

the well being of the American people.

In a nationally televised speech delivered September 24, in advance of  
the
congressional vote on the

Follow the M3 money to hell
By Jerry Mazza
Online Journal Associate Editor


Oct 27, 2008, 00:21

Email this article
  Printer friendly page

Let me not keep you in the dark. As Wikipedia states, our money supply  
has three large components. M1 is physical currency circulating in the  
economy plus demand deposits (checking accounts). This measure is used  
by economists to try and quantify the amount of money in circulation.  
M1 is the most liquid measure of money supply since it only contains  
cash and assets quickly usable for conversion to currency. Hang in.

M2 is MI + time deposits, savings deposits and non-institutional money- 
market funds. M2 is a wider category of money than M1. It’s also used  
to quantify the volume of money in circulation and to explain economic  
conditions. M3 is the biggie. It’s M2 + M1 + large deposits,  
institutional money-market funds, short-term repurchase agreements,  
and other larger liquid assets. It’s the broadest measure of money  
used to estimate total supply of money in the economy.

The Fed used to publish data on all three money descriptors. But for  
some strange reason (couldn’t be saving money as they claimed because  
they never save money), the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve  
discontinued publishing data on M3 (which contain all data on M1 + M2  
=M3) on March 23, 2006. M3 also included balances in institutional  
money funds, repurchase liabilities issued by depository institutions  
and Eurodollars held by US residents at foreign branches of US banks,  
in fact at all banks in the United Kingdom and Canada.

In other words, M3 tracked what the fat cats were doing with their  
bucks. You have to think, why would the Fed do this? Of all three  
categories, M3 was your best bet to track inflation, i.e., to monitor  
what the Free-Market’s “Invisible Hand” was picking from your pocket  
through inflation, sometimes called “the hidden tax” because that’s  
just what it is. When the government runs off some extra funny money  
rest assured it’s to spend it. And you get the tab.

It would be, as InflationData.com editor Tim McMahon described it,  
“like writing checks from an account that was empty.” You would end up  
in the slammer. Nevertheless, that’s what the criminal Fed (and the  
government) is doing when it creates money out of air. To see the  
result, go back to Wiki’s Money Supply and scroll down to “Money  
Supplies Around the World,” the United States chart for M1, M2, M3  
since 1959. You will see the widest expansion of dollars is in M3. You  
might ask yourself where were all the big bucks going.

Also of interest at Wikipedia’s Money Supply is to scroll down to  
“Bank Reserves at Central Bank,” which discusses how a central bank  
can ease the flow of money by purchasing government securities in the  
open market, or tightening the flow by selling securities on the open  
market and pulling in money. Also, along with that control, up until  
the 1970s, the government said that banks had to keep a fraction on  
deposit of what they loaned out. Let’s say that would be $1 on every  
$10 dollars. This was to prevent a total freeze-up in case of a run on  
banks, like the one in 1929.

“However,” as Wiki says, “in the 1970s [the Nixon Era] the reserve  
requirements on deposits started to fall with the emergence of money  
market funds, which require no reserves. Then in the early 1990s [the  
GHW Bush era], reserve requirements were dropped to zero on savings  
deposits, CDs, and Eurodollar deposits. At present, reserve  
requirements apply only to “transactions deposits“ -- essentially  
checking accounts. The vast majority of funding sources used by  
private banks to create loans are not limited by bank reserves. Most  
commercial and industrial loans are financed by issuing large  
denomination CDs. Money market deposits are largely used to lend to  
corporations who issue commercial paper. Consumer loans are also made  
using savings deposits, which are not subject to reserve requirements.  
These loans can be bunched into securities and sold to somebody else,  
taking them off of the bank’s books.” Call that the beginning of the  
end.

“Therefore, neither commercial nor consumer loans are any longer  
limited by bank reserves. Since 1995 the amount of consumer loans has  
steadily increased, while bank reserves have generally remained  
constant . . .” Here, too we find the blueprint for disaster, which  
actually occurred in the Savings and Loan debacle,” beginning in the  
Reagan Era, 1981, ending in the GHW Bush era, 91-92. I leave that  
fiasco for your perusal. The point of it all has to do with Free  
Market deregulation of bank lending rules and the lack of lending  
transparency.

Three British evangelicals cast blame on each other in trials over  
child abuse

at Albanian orphanage
o Edinburgh charity worker set up home for refugees
o Ten boys aged four to 13 testify against Britons
Paul Lewis in Tirana
The Guardian, Monday October 27 2008
Article history

The orphanage, a large brick house in Tirana's old quarter, promised  
shelter to
the city's abandoned street children, who came barefoot and clutching  
siblings

in search of a place to rebuild their lives.

For five years, dozens of boy and girls passed through the gates of 32  
Dervish

Hekali Street, run by British missionaries in Albania's capital.

But what should have been a sanctuary for vulnerable boys and girls  
became the
site of one of eastern Europe's most shocking child sex abuse  
scandals. Three
evangelical Britons, including the director of the orphanage, David  
Brown, have

been accused of abusing children in their care.

The trials of Brown, 57, and two helpers at his shelter - Dino  
Christodoulou,
45, a social therapy nurse from Blackburn in Lancashire, and Robin  
Arnold, 56,
a salesman from Cromer in Norfolk - have barely been reported outside  
Albania.

But disturbing testimony from children delivered by video link to a  
small

Tirana court will have far-reaching repercussions for child protection
mechanisms between the UK and other countries.

Who knew what about the abuse, how and when, are questions that have  
yet to be
fully answered. The men themselves, in interviews with the Guardian  
inside
their prison, did not deny that the abuse took place; instead they  
blamed each

other for acts that have horrified Albania.

But there are some facts about the story that has been unfolding in  
district

court one that nobody disputes.

It was in early 2000 that Brown, a charity worker from Edinburgh,  
travelled to
Albania to help refugees who had crossed the border, fleeing the  
conflict in
Kosovo. He encountered neglected Gypsy children begging on the streets  
and

supported them with food and money.

The following year, with support from churches in Albania and the UK,  
he set
about opening an orphanage which, claiming to be receiving  
instructions from

God, Brown named His Children.

Missionaries affiliated with churches as far away as Oklahoma  
travelled to
Tirana to care for the children and give Bible lessons. Brown became a  
well-
known figure in Tirana; a tall man with a thick, white beard, he was  
often seen

scouring the city's streets for children in need.

"He bought me biscuits, a coke and gave me 500 lek [£3.20]," said one of
Brown's first recruits to the orphanage, Nazmi Tatushi, now 21. "I had  
no

shoes. No haircut. Stinking."

One of four young men who live in an apartment paid for by Brown, and  
have
testified in his favour in court, Tatushi added: "David said to me: my  
son, why
don't you come to my house? He was a good man for the street kids in  
Albania.

Only ever did we see love in that house."

That, according to the testimony of other children, would soon change.  
By 2004
Brown, who worked with children for 35 years in Scotland, had  
developed a tense
relationship with Albanian social workers, who complained his home  
lacked the

facilities for 40 children and babies.

By his own admission he failed to check the backgrounds of all the  
missionary
volunteers who were given unsupervised access to children. He also  
allowed two
young boys into his bed when they complained of nightmares, something  
he later

described as "naive".

When, in October that year, children began to speak about being  
sexually abused

at the home, Brown, who was at first not named by the children as a
perpetrator, devised a plan with the help of a close-knit group of  
evangelical

Christians to keep the complaints secret from the Albanian authorities.

Brown said he concealed the sexual abuse suffered by children at his  
orphanage
from the Albanian authorities because he feared they would close the  
shelter,

and now regretted doing so.

Christodoulou and Arnold were banned from the orphanage after Brown said
children had identified them as abusers. Eighteen months later, in May  
2006,
the scandal made headline news across the country after Albanian  
police and
social services raided the orphanage and arrested Brown following a  
tip-off

about allegations of sexual abuse.

Ten boys, aged between four and 13, eventually told police they had been
sexually abused by one or more of the three Britons, who have been  
charged with
"homosexual relations with minors". Christodoulou and Arnold were  
extradited to
Albania in May. In some cases the children claimed to have been bound

of the creation of a new EU propaganda machine, the Interinstitutional

will be used to reeducate, as the communists say, the school children,  
national media journalists, the general public and other education  
programmes. The EU want the people under them have to “right to know”  
what’s best. Commissioner Margot Wallstrom also explains a Yes vote in  
all EU nations in a referendum is the EU’s “the ultimate challenge”.  
At the moment it looks like a number of other nations would also vote  
no if they still had a democratic referendum. If the IGI was setup  
years ago the EU might be ready to win “the ultimate challenge”.

EUOBSERVER / STRASBOURG - The European Commission plans to help the  
Irish government communicate “Europe” better to citizens after June’s  
shock No vote on the Lisbon treaty, with a new inter-institutional  
agreement to pull together the PR efforts of the main EU institutions.

“It’s not about the European Commission interfering with the  
procedures and referenda on the Treaty, but it is investing in trying  
to correct the situation [….],” communication commissioner Margot  
Wallstrom said on Wednesday (22 October) in Strasbourg.

Ms Wallstrom plans to sign a “memorandum of understanding” on  
launching a new communication “management project” in Ireland when she  
visits Dublin on 13 to 14 November.

The one year partnerships - already up and running in Germany, Hungary  
and Slovenia with eight other EU states about to sign up - see the  
commission provide EU literature, journalist training, school manuals  
and other civic education programmes.

One concrete project in Germany was “Guess who is going back to  
school,” in which about 500 German officials paid visits to their  
former schools, explaining to pupils what their job is within the EU  
institutions.

The commissioner on Wednesday also signed an inter-institutional  
agreement between the European Parliament, commission and Council to  
co-ordinate the three institutions’ communication efforts.

She said the move was not designed to create a “propaganda machine”  
but to support the fundamental democratic principle of the right to  
know. “It is the first time we have this framework after heavy  
resistance from member states,” the commissioner explained.

Co-ordination will be provided by the Interinstitutional group on  
information (IGI) comprised of Ms Walstrom on behalf of the  
commission, French minister Jean Pierre Jouyet on behalf of the  
European Council and the vice-president of the European Parliament,  
Spanish conservative MEP Alejo Vidal-Quadras.

IGI will not have its own budget, but will draw from the coffers of  
the three institutions.

Asked what would be the outcome of a pan-European referendum on the  
Lisbon treaty - as suggested by some Irish campaigners - Ms Wallstrom  
stressed that it is “the ultimate challenge” from a communication  
point of view

Comment from Anthony Coughlan of the National Platform EU Research and  
Information Centre:

The 27 non-elected members of the Brussels Commission would obtain  
major new powers under the Lisbon Constitution Treaty.

This treaty would transfer many new areas of law-making from the  
Member States to the supranational EU level. This means that the non- 
elected Commission would then become the sole proposal of EU  
legislation for these areas.

The Commission is clearly a highly self-interested party in relation  
to EC/EU treaties,which greatly increase its own power.

What right has the EU Commission to use EU taxpayers’ money - some of  
which comes from Irish citizens - to seek to influence Irish public  
opinion on the EU with a view to reversing the Irish people’s  
referendum vote on Lisbon?

What right has the Irish Government to encourage this kind of  
interference from abroad with the same end in view?

It appears some, if not the majority, of Irish “movers and shakers”  
have already been fully conditioned by the EU to blindly support it,  
and EU’s new definition of democracy, ahead of their own nation in  
spite of “their” people’s wishes:

Following the release of a new study strongly correlating vitamin D

again gone out of its way to intention-

ally distort findings of the study and mislead readers about vitamin D.

The study was conducted by Emory University, the same university that  
has just had $9.3 million in NIH grants frozen because of undisclosed  
ties between its researchers and the drug companies.

Thus, from the start, we know Emory University researchers are working  
for Big Pharma
& likely have a financial stake in promoting pharmaceuticals or  
discrediting natural alter- natives.

Nevertheless, the study - which was published in Archives of Neurology  
-- examined 300 people: 100 with Parkinson's, 100 with Alzheimer's &  
another 100 they called "healthy".

The study found that 90% of the healthy people had sufficient vitamin  
D levels in their blood. In the Alzheimer's group, the number was  
lower: 84%. And in the Parkinson's group, it was lower still: 77%.

What the study showed was a statistically significant correlation  
between low vitamin

D levels and higher risk of Parkinson's disease

2008-10-27 Thread muckblit

It has been clear even through five weapons company media that the
bailout money is only for banks to buy banks.

At the same time they tell us that, they have let us know that the
bailout does not include anything directly for homeowners in trouble
with their loans.

The news is propagating the notion that banks hired to dance the
macarena will be happier banks, apt to loan, which if they could do
when unhappy, or happy, why do they not do NOW, or, YESTERDAY?

I have put forward my theory that the banks which originally conspired
to take over other banks are going to have more money to take over
their targets because we give them more. I think that the biggest
banks put out stalking horses to flood the market with money to get
buyers to bid against each other for the same properties, raising
prices, lured target banks to refinance mortgages based on inflated
values, then rents ceased to go up, then values collapsed, then
targeted banks got caught holding bad loans, and then we help predator
banks to buy out their targeted competitors.

Neocon neolibs would still say, yes, so what, when the predators are
sated and engorged with consuming competitors, they will take a short
nap and then dandle us on their knees again. If they were not stalking
competitors any more, why would they give money away?

How Big Oil's Lobbyists Contributed to Big Finance's Crash

By Antonia Juhasz

October 23, 2008

Working Americans are reeling from the "unintended consequences" of  
their relentless war against regulation.

In a monumental about-face, U.S. Security and Exchange Commission  
Chairman Christopher Cox became the latest deregulation devotee to  
confess utter failure, repudiating the policies to which he had  
committed his life's work and saying, "The last six months have made  
it abundantly clear that voluntary regulation does not work."

Unless the current financial meltdown is to become a permanent state  
of ruin, the SEC is hardly the only government agency that must  
immediately be reformed. Among others, the Commodity Futures and  
Exchange Commission (CFTC) -- the government agency that regulates  
futures markets -- now needs a heavy dose of re-regulation.

The house of cards that is the deregulated futures market has so far  
benefited the remaining top two investment banks, Morgan Stanley and  
Goldman Sachs -- and one industry, Big Oil. Even with the recent wild  
volatility in the price of oil (a hallmark of deregulated markets),  
Big Oil has maintained its spot as the largest economic victor the  
world has ever known, profiting from an area of "voluntary regulation"  
that should be far more worrisome for the average American and for the  
global economy than the collapsed subprime mortgage market.

Deregulation of energy futures took place in two stages, in 1992 and  
2000, under the heavy and coordinated lobbying efforts of the nation's  
largest oil and energy companies and banks, including Mobil, Exxon,  
Conoco, Phillips, BP North America, Enron, Goldman Sachs, J.P. Morgan,  
Morgan Stanley, Chase Manhattan Bank, Citigroup and the American  
Petroleum Institute. The first effort succeeded in removing certain  
energy trades from CFTC oversight, while the latter removed entire  
exchanges from the agency's control.

There were two immediate beneficiaries of the deregulation: the  
Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) and Enron (which is why the latter  
effort is known as "the Enron Loophole"). In May 2000, just before  
deregulation became the law, BP, Shell, TotalFinaElf, Goldman Sachs  
and Morgan Stanley, among others, came together in Atlanta to form ICE  
as their own privately held futures exchange, specializing in the very  
trades deemed outside the CFTC's jurisdiction. It took a few years,  
but once ICE caught on, its trades skyrocketed. By 2006, the  
unregulated ICE replaced the regulated NYMEX (New York Mercantile  
Exchange) as the home to the majority of crude oil futures trades.

As deregulation took hold and ICE grew in popularity, the price of oil  
began a steady and then rapid rise. In the 12 years from 1988 to 2000,  
the price of a barrel of oil doubled from $18 to an average of $36 per  
barrel. In just the five years from 2000 to 2005, the price doubled  
again, rising to $60 per barrel. But the prices in 2007 and 2008 would  
exceed them all. In just 14 months, from January 2007 to March 2008,  
the price doubled again, increasing from $55 to $110 per barrel. Such  
a rapid rise in price has only happened twice before in modern  
history: during the 1973 and 1979 energy crises. The rising price of  
oil, in turn, catapulted the profits of Big Oil into the largest  
profits of any corporations in world history.

Enron has already shown us what such deregulation can bring.  
Deregulation allowed Enron to move all of its electricity and other  
energy futures trades to unregulated exchanges, including its very  
own, Enron Online. From 2000 to 2002, Enron's energy traders drove up  
the price of electricity in California and across the West Coast  
through manipulation of the energy market with government regulators  
none the wiser. In 1999, Californians paid $7.4 billion for wholesale  
electricity; one year later, the cost rose 277 percent to $27.1  
billion. Ultimately, Enron imploded under the weight of its own "self- 
regulated" greed and corruption.

Legislators have been trying to close the Enron Loophole ever since.  
This past May, "success" was declared when certain provisions  
pertaining to the loophole were inserted into the Farm Bill. However,  
these provisions include the magic word "voluntary." It is up to the  
CFTC to choose on a contract-by-contract basis whether or not to  
regulate certain trades and exchanges -- a far cry from "closing" the  
loophole.

For their part, Enron's former energy traders have put their skills to  
use working for the nation's oil companies, banks and hedge funds as  
crude oil futures traders.

All of this deregulation is crucial to our ec

The judgment of history may well be that the United States has been

distinguished legal scholar says.

"It may take 25 or 50 years, but it is almost certain that one day this

job in the
oval office," says Lawrence Velvel, dean of the Massachusetts School  
of Law at

Andover.

Writing in his latest book, "An Enemy of the People,"(Doukathsan  
Press) Velvel
said, "In everyday life, someone who refuses to recognize the actual  
facts of
the world around him, and who instead lives in a dream world in his  
head, is
regarded as not being sane, as being, to use the blunt words, insane

Why is it different when it is a national leader who refuses to

in the world and instead lives in a dream world in his head?"

Velvel goes on to say, "Most interesting is the idea that Bush suffers  
from a

condition called `dry drunk´. Essentially, this means that even if one
eventually stops drinking, as Bush did, years of alcoholism cause  
irreversible
damage to brain chemistry. Results of this damage include such Bushian  
traits

as rigid judgmentalism, irritability, impatience, grandiosity, obsessive
thought patterns, incoherent speech and other unlovely characteristics."

"Bush also seems to have chacteristics," Velvel continues, "that,  
whether or
not they are characteristic of `dry drunks´ are symptomatic of people  
who don´t
fully have a grip. These include immense anger, exploitativeness,  
arrogance,

lack of empathy, and difficulties arising from relationships with one´s
father."

"With regard to the specific analyses of Bush, there seems to be wide  
agreement
that Bush is a sociopath, defined, one gathers, as someone who feels  
no empathy
with others, who cannot feel for others, who does not feel or care for  
their

pain (to use Clintonian jargon,") Velvel writes.

"That Bush is utterly devoid of empathy seems plainly true to me. Unlike
Lincoln or even Lying Lyndon Johnson, who sent people to their deaths  
but
agonized over it, Bush is thought by the shrinks, and appears to the  
lay eye,
to give not one damn about how many Americans he kills, let alone  
Iraqis."

Explaining why Bush can´t feel guilt, Velvel writes: "Given his defense
mechanisms, one gathers, and his psychology of having to overcome  
obstacles,
overcome his father, etc., one gathers that Bush is a sociopath (or  
another
word for it, a psychopath). Using charm as a vehicle for  
aggrandizement, he
can´t allow himself to feel guilt and so feels no empathy for all  
those he

smashes up in his pursuit of is grandiosity and delusions."

Velvel professes amazement that a man of Bush´s character could rise  
to the
White House: "One wondered how he could have been picked as the  
nominee and
then elected. After all, it was clearly early-on that he not only had  
been a
long-time drunk, but had failed at every business venture, so that  
time and

again he had to be rescued by Daddy´s friends and wanna be friends."

He goes on to say, "Bush´s life refutes fundamental values we grew up  
with:
hard work, competence, intelligence, modesty. His life, with its  
drunkenness,
serial failures, lack of competence, repeated salvation via Daddy and  
Daddy´s

friends, all followed by the presidency no less, and by disastrous ill-
considered policies, makes a joke of the values we absorbed as youths  
and still

try to live by."

Living in his Father´s shadow, Velvel writes, "his own lack of  
diligence and
intelligence caused him to be mediocre or a failure everywhere for  
about 25
years; he was mediocre at Andover; he was mediocre at Yale; he was a  
drunk to
the point where he could cure himself only by stopping cold turkey...  
conceivably

he escaped a securities prosecution only because Daddy was president."

Velvel writes, "One view is that Bush has a narcissistic personality.  
Due to
insecurities, he has constructed a grandiose vision of himself and is  
thus
immune to the criticisms or views of those who do not go along with  
his views.
Because he is no intellect (to put it mildly), he dismisses intellect  
entirely,

and utilized his strength, personal affability, to win over others.
Narcissistically, he apparently will do anything to protect his psyche  
from the
destruction of being shown wrong-including causing the deaths of  
thousands of
Americans and Iraqis in pursuit of a mere long shot oppo

[cia-drugs] Skinhead plot to go on killing spree, ending with assassination of Obama

2008-10-27 Thread Vigilius Haufniensis

It occurs to me that "skinhead plots against Obama" might in themselves 
be enough to take the place of the "war on terror" as justification for 
a police state.
I REITERATE:  I would never want anything bad to happen to Obama or any 
other political personality in the U.S. or abroad.

  Skinheads held over plot to kill Obama

   *
  WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Two white supremacist skinheads were
  arrested in Tennessee over plans to go on a killing spree and
  eventually shoot Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama,
  court documents showed on Monday.

Daniel Cowart and Paul Schlesselman were charged in a criminal 
complaint with making threats against a presidential candidate, 
illegal possession of a sawed-off shotgun and conspiracy to rob a gun 
dealer.


The plot did not appear to be very advanced or sophisticated, the 
court documents showed.


"We're unsure of their ability or if they have the wherewithal to 
carry out any of their threats," said a source close to the investigation.


Obama would be the first black president in U.S. history if he defeats 
Republican John McCain in the November 4 election. Concerns about 
Obama's safety led the Secret Service to provide round-the-clock 
protection from early in his campaign.


The suspects met over the Internet about a month ago, said an 
affidavit filed by Brian Weaks, a special agent with the Bureau of 
Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.


"The individuals began discussing going on a 'killing spree' that 
included killing 88 people and beheading 14 African Americans," Weaks 
said in the affidavit.


The men stole guns from family members and also had a sawed-off 
shotgun. They planned to target a predominately black school, going 
state to state while robbing individuals and continuing to kill 
people, Weaks said in the affidavit.


"They further stated that their final act of violence would be to 
attempt to kill/assassinate presidential candidate Barack Obama," he said.


TOP HATS AND SWASTIKA

The men planned to wear white tuxedos and top hats during the 
assassination attempt, which would have involved driving as fast as 
they could toward Obama and shooting him from the windows of the car.


They planned their first house robbery for last Wednesday but ended up 
leaving without breaking in. Instead they bought ski masks, food and 
rope to use in their robbery attempts.


Cowart and Schlesselman were arrested later that day in Crockett 
County in western Tennessee and made initial appearances in federal 
court in Memphis on Monday.


They remain in custody and are scheduled to return to court on 
Thursday for a detention hearing, the Memphis Commercial Appeal 
newspaper reported on its website.


They wrote racially motivated words and symbols on the exterior of 
Cowart's vehicle, including a swastika and the numbers "14" and "88" 
on the hood of the car.


ATF special agent in charge James Cavanaugh said "H" is the eighth 
letter of the alphabet and 88 stood for "Heil Hitler."


"The U.S. Secret Service takes all threats against presidential 
candidates seriously and is actively investigating the allegations," 
said Richard Harlow, special agent in charge of the Secret 
Service-Memphis Field Office. "The Secret Service does not comment on 
this type of investigation."

The Best Evidence Yet on the Goverment's Complicit Actions on 9/11,
October 17, 2008
By  Marc Starcke - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)
Mark Gaffney introduces what is probably the most damning evidence
pointing to U.S. Government foreknowledge of the attacks on 9/11,
especially noting the attack on the Pentagon.Mark explains in a clear
and concise way about the timeline and details of what he refers to as
the "white mystery plane", which is identified by himself with CNN
footage and a report by CNN's John King and Anderson Cooper, as the
E-4B "Doomsday" Plane. A "Pentagon in the air" if you will. An
airforce Government plane the size of a 747 designed to keep the
government running while airborne in light of a nuclear attack or any
other potential dire National security problem.

The disturbing facts layed out here leaves a chill down your spine.

With video and photo evidence and CNN and others as witnesses, there
is no disputing the fact that this plane was seen flying over the
Pentagon and Whitehouse vicinity just as the attack on the Pentagon
was occuring or had just occured within seconds.If the Government had
the foreknowledge to have a E-4B lifted and arrival over the D.C.
restricted air space at the time of the attack, then why did the 9/11
Commission leave this out of their final report?

If Government officials knew of the attack in advance, then they were
complicit in not evacuating the Pentagon. The fact is officials
already had enough information in advance to order an evacuation.
Between the knowledge of hijacked planes,the WTC attacks, in
conjunction with our now awareness of the many previous drills on
possible attacks on the WTC's and the Pentagon, there is no acceptable
excuse.

But this incredible piece of evidence just confirms their frightening
complicit actions. There is no way around it now.

These are the questions that Mark asks and expands upon in this
book.And as one reviewer before me says, he does it very well. Not
only does he present clear and irrefutable evidence based on
mainstream reports on the E-4B plane but he presents such information
on the hijackers ("the flying patsies" as one chapter is called), the
irrefutable evidence in the WTC collapses such as molten steel,
whispering dust,the flawed NIST report,and on and on.

But to my biggest surprise of them all, Mark has a whole chapter on
"Why the war on terror is a fraud". It is over 30 pages long and
reveals how Dick Cheney stated in the late 90's how imposing sanctions
(which Clinton did) on Iran "are self defeating" while Cheney's
Halliburton was doing business with Iran.

How Iran, in the aftermath of 9/11 handed over (voluntarily as to
help) lists of terrorists,intelligence about the Taliban's military
assets which included valuable targeting information,and use of Iran's
airfields. But in January 2002 just as the Afghanistan was
stablizing , GWB made his infamous "Axis of Evil" speech where he
included Iran along with North Korea and Iraq.

Since the 1967 Six day war, such President's Carter, Reagan, Bush
senior, and Clinton had been regional peace brokers between Israel and
the Palestinians. But not George W. Bush, who had a "hands off
policy", and was not interested in brokering for peace with Palestine.

Gaffney goes on to explain how Israel PM Ariel Sharon most likely was
a big influence since he had entered office in Feb. of 2001, just a
month after W. had. Since then, it's been a catastrophe. Sharon proved
to be a controversial, & a violent criminal leader.

For instance, Sharon directed a military offensive against Palestine
in 2002 while the crown prince of Saudi Arabia,Abdullah - was working
out a sweeping peace treaty with Israel.And even worse, Colin Powell
was in Israel around this time offering peace talks and a political
horizon. But Powell received a call from a Whitehouse official telling
him to back off, or more precisely, that Powell was not authorized to
talk about a political horizon.

Gaffney explains how Abdullah flew to Texas to confront Bush and to
ask him if he was going to do anything about the Palestinian issue.
Bush was evasive with his answers in which the crown prince became
upset. Bush then made a promise to Abdullah that he would give the
issue his upmost consideration which seemed to satisfy the prince.

But not only did Bush abandon this issue, but he also abandoned the
peace treaty drafted by Abdullah and went ahead and attacked Iraq.

The most revealing information of all is NOT just how Sharon wrapped
Bush around his finger but how Bush's unconditional support for Israel
actually began.

Psychologists and psychiatrists have studied the incidence of sociopathy, 
anti-social personality disorders, and narcissism in government workers and 
found the incidence high in law enforcement and politicians.  There are books 
available on the topic.  

The President is, by necessity, kept sheltered from the "real" world.  There 
are others who control information on every level, including the information 
that goes to the President and he, like the rest of us, relies on their 
truthfulness, accuracy, and devotion to maintaining democracy.   The President 
chooses those "informants" and so he is liable/culpable, but still, as a human 
being, he is vulnerable to deceit - especially by those close to him.  It's one 
of our many imperfections

Christians know the story of the crucifixion but we conveniently ignore the 
element of betrayal and skip on to forgiveness.  Whew! so much more pleasant 
because if we just give it up to God we don't have to deal with the messy issue 
of "feelings".  Forgive and forget. Christ did not initally cry out because of 
physical pain, which must have been excruciating but he cried out in fear and 
pain because he thought he had been forsaken/betrayed.  There is no worse pain 
that can be inflicted on a human being.  Betrayal by those you believe you can 
trust IS THE FOUNDATION FOR PTSD and IS MORE COMMON AMONG INDIVIDUALS ABUSED BY 
OUR SO-CALLED JUSTICE SYSTEM THAN WAR..  The "pain" associated with 
psychological, emotional, psychological and physical betrayal becomes 
exacerbated when you are convinced to betray your own set of values by someone 
else.  (Judith Herman wrote an outstanding book on PTSD and it's causes/effects)
 The Iraq conflict has escalating numbers because the soldiers know they have 
been lied to/betrayed and have killed/murdered for those lies.  IF George W 
Bush betrays his own beliefs, thinking he is acting righteously and justly 
because of the intelligence he has received, and his actions are exposed to him 
and to the world for what they really are, he will suffer.  Those who used him 
will not.  Upon what criteria will he be judged and who will judge him?    

At the end of the day, no matter what external criteria we use, God is the only 
one who truly knows our heart.   How President Bush is judged by us, with the 
information we receive, which is based on responses to his actions regarding 
information he received.may not be an accurate portrayal of him.  

"The heart is the vessel in which all truth resides." If the intelligence 
agencies play games with leaders in other worlds, what makes us think they do 
not do the same to us and our leadership?

VERDICT OF HISTORY ON BUSH WILL BE HARSH, AUTHOR SAYS
By Sherwood Ross

The judgment of history may well be that the United States has been "taken 
into, and kept in, the Iraq War by a guy who is not quite right in his head," a 
distinguished legal scholar says.

"It may take 25 or 50 years, but it is almost certain that one day this 
character will be exhibit number one for the danger of having a nut job in the 
oval office," says Lawrence Velvel, dean of the Massachusetts School of Law at 
Andover.

Writing in his latest book, "An Enemy of the People,"(Doukathsan Press) Velvel 
said, "In everyday life, someone who refuses to recognize the actual facts of 
the world around him, and who instead lives in a dream world in his head, is 
regarded as not being sane, as being, to use the blunt words, insane or crazy. 
Why is it different when it is a national leader who refuses to recognize facts

Amazing, isn't it, that they could find these two clowns but when presented

/*So we have opium/heroin/cocaine and gold being withheld from the 
markets at a time when cash is in short supply and credit is virtually

*
THE HIDDEN GOLD PREMIUM* *-- Congratulations to Jamey Hecht*


Last night a whole lot became clear about what's going on with gold 
prices. Not everything is explained but much more of the map has been 
filled in.


I was at the wedding of former FTW writer Jamey Hecht who also 
edited"Rubicon" for me. He and his new wife Sava were just beautiful 
together and the ceremony, at a time of great fear, was a welcome relief 
for all of us. It was probably the most beautiful wedding I've ever 
attended and I know we all send Jamey and Sava Hecht our best wishes. 
They are an amazing pair.


Seated at my table was an executive for a precious metals company. What 
he told me was something I have seen suggestions of, but nothing made it 
as clear as his explanation.


1. There's virtually no gold out there to ship, at any price.
2. Major dealers are paying some serious premiums to actually get 
physical gold. I was told that currently the major vendors are paying a 
$70 an ounce premium over spot price when they order lots of 5,000 or 
more ounces. Order fewer than 5,000 ounces and the premiums are much 
higher and even then there's no guarantee of delivery. So what's being 
charged small retail customers who just want an ounce or two? The best 
answer I could come up with is "whatever the markets will bear". So the 
so-called posted spot price is now meaningless and I smell a possible (I 
emphasize "possible") embryonic black market for gold emerging. That is 
something I hadn't expected for a couple of years yet.
3. Even with the premiums there is so little actual gold available to 
ship that half the big companies have stopped writing orders because 
they don't know if they'll ever be able to deliver. The other half are 
still writing orders on the hopes that they will get some gold --sometime.
4. The credit crash has made it difficult for large vendors to get float 
loans to finance purchases and expensive delivery and insurance costs. 
The only gold out there is dealer-to-dealer or whatever is being sold by 
private holders.


The problem appears to be global.

That means that I could take one of my Maple Leaves, add maybe $100 to 
the spot price, then add the standard Maple Leaf premium of say $10 
anounce and then go out and demand an even higher price based on which 
dealer needed the coin the most. I can easily add $120 an ounce over 
spot to arrive at a reasonable market price. The executive's words were 
"Nobody is paying attention to the spot price anymore. It doesn'tmean 
anything."


That means that gold is being hoarded and kept off the market. There's 
only one reason for that IMO. Sure, one could argue that the hoarding is 
intended to drive up prices. But is that happening? Nope. Prices are 
low. What this says to me is that some with insider access are holding 
gold off the market pending a large breakout. When I suggested this the 
executive agreed instantly. It would have been like selling Iraqi oil at 
$40 a barrel instead of leaving it in the ground to sell at $80 or $100. 
Of course, that brings us smack dab into collision with the fact that 
plummeting oil prices are doing nothing to increase demand. TPTB and the 
economy itself have no choice but to unwind completely now. The plug was 
pulled too hard when oil hit $147. Whether that was inadvertent or 
intended we have yet to see but anyone hoping that falling oil prices 
will stabilize things is drinking some real bad Kool Aid.


Gold's breakout will be much different than what's happening with oil.

So we have opium/heroin/cocaine and gold being withheld from the markets

quickly. This next week is likely to be very tough. When I saw theWells

could possibly take that long at the rate things are going."What'll be 
left in six months?", I asked myself. It's hard to say. I shared my 
analogy with the exec about how it seemed like the markets had dysentery

he responded. "Very little is making sense anywhere and almost no one

When Bush or Cheney say things like that, they are threatening. Or
when Cheney says,"I guess you noticed there haven't been any amber

When Powell and Biden do it, it sounds more like a brinkmanship of
saying they will speak even more plainly if "tested" by the Barbary
pirates.

The literal Barbary pirates had British captains, forerunners of
Morgan and Raleigh, back when they preyed on the Irish in the same
manner as Vikings. They were in decline by the time the Marines landed
at Tripoli with an unpretentious mission with defined goals and an
exit strategy. Strategically all they had to do was lower the tax rate
charged by Halliburton-Dubai-Cheney.

FBI also had time to look for the suspected relative in the Hudson
kidnapping after the two murders. The kidnap victim "might have been
taken across a state line", so police called FBI.

More child kidnappings involve FBI than are solved by FBI. FBI works
on one kidnapping at a time, but generates kidnappings wholesale by
using CIA-kidnapped children in pedophile blackmail videos to seal
business deals for G.O.D. guns-oil-drugs or pre-emptively lock in
foreign dignataries.

Don't you love that word, dignataries? How about that excuse, gotta
love it,"but we're the good guys". Oh, okay. That's what FBI said when
they were caught in wholesale kidnapping, wholesale complicity, with
CIA kidnapped children in sex videos at Seattle APEC.

In the old days wax seals and bags of gold coins were typical where
now FBI has to have a pedo vid on file or the deal is not done. Kinda
like mephistophelean deals with G.O.D. (guns oil drugs)

[cia-drugs] Re: THE HIDDEN GOLD PREMIUM

2008-10-27 Thread muckblit

Who buys gold in that shiny retail form?

It is interesting if street drugs are in short supply. That would not
be a function of criminals who deal in them. It would have to be
orchestrated by the government franchisers. Heroin, cocaine, and
marijuana(I have heard there is a local DC area shortage and I think I
know how that works) could not be in short supply except for the same
reason Pakistani groups that never work together, worked together in
the kidnapping and murder of Daniel Pearl.

Just as Bank of England implausibly seized the assets of Iceland to
bring down the krona and thus destroy that sanctuary of value before
British people could flee into kronas, reducing the supply of street
drugs would simultaneously make them unavailable as a hedge for the
common people, at the same time as raising street prices, and perhaps
there is hoarding of street drugs for disaster portfolio.

Then there is the possibility that someone wants to change ghetto and
gang dynamics in some way. Maybe they want more obvious street crime
for First Infantry Division NORTHCOM to have an excuse for door to
door evictions of foreclosed families.

If Mike Ruppert makes a persuasive argument for buying shiny retail
gold, remember his history there. The cruise ship connected to 911
truth suppression figures and gold?

The /L.A. Times/ Suppresses Obama's Khalidi Bash Tape*
*Obama, Ayers, and PLO supporters toast Edward Said's successor, but the 
press doesn't think it's quite as newsworthy as Sarah Palin's wardrobe.*


By Andrew C. McCarthy

Let's try a thought experiment. Say John McCain attended a party at 
which known racists and terror mongers were in attendance. Say 
testimonials were given, including a glowing one by McCain for the 
benefit of the guest of honor ... who happened to be a top apologist for 
terrorists. Say McCain not only gave a speech but stood by, in tacit 
approval and solidarity, while other racists and terror mongers gave 
speeches that reeked of hatred for an American ally and rationalizations 
of terror attacks.


Now let's say the /Los Angeles Times/ obtained a videotape of the party.

Question: Is there any chance --- /any chance //--- the //Times/ would 
not release the tape and publish front-page story after story about the 
gory details, with the usual accompanying chorus of sanctimony from the 
oped commentariat? Is there any chance, if the /Times/ was the least bit 
reluctant about publishing (remember, we're pretending here), that the 
rest of the mainstream media (y'know, the guys who drove Trent Lott out 
of his leadership position over a birthday-party toast) would not be 
screaming for the release of the tape?


Do we really have to ask?

So now, let's leave thought experiments and return to reality: Why is 
the /Los Angeles Times/ sitting on a videotape of the 2003 farewell bash 
in Chicago at which Barack Obama lavished praise on the guest of honor, 
Rashid Khalidi --- former mouthpiece for master terrorist Yasser Arafat?


At the time Khalidi, a PLO adviser turned University of Chicago 
professor, was headed east to Columbia. There he would take over the 
University's Middle East-studies program (which he has since maintained 
as a bubbling cauldron of anti-Semitism) and assume the professorship 
endowed in honor of Edward Sayyid, another notorious terror apologist.


The party featured encomiums by many of Khalidi's allies, colleagues, 
and friends, including Barack Obama, then an Illinois state senator, and 
Bill Ayers, the terrorist turned education professor. It was sponsored 
 by the Arab American Action Network 
(AAAN), which had been founded by Khalidi and his wife, Mona, formerly a 
top English translator for Arafat's press agency.


Is there just a teeny-weenie chance that this was an evening of 
Israel-bashing Obama would find very difficult to explain? Could it be 
that the /Times/, a pillar of the Obamedia, is covering for its guy?


Gateway Pundit reports 
 
that the /Times/ has the videotape but is suppressing it.


Back in April, the /Times/ published a gentle story 
 
about the fete. Reporter Peter Wallsten avoided, for example, any 
mention of the inconvenient fact that the revelers included Ayers and 
Bernadine Dohrn, Ayers's wife and fellow Weatherman terrorist. These 
self-professed revolutionary Leftists are friendly with both Obama and 
Khalidi --- indeed, researcher Stanley Kurtz has noted 
 
that Ayers and Khalidi were "best friends." (And --- /small world!/ --- 
it turns out that the Obamas are extremely close to the Khalidis, who 
have reportedly  babysat 
the Obama children.)


Nor did the /Times/ report the party was thrown by AAAN. Wallsten does 
tell us that the AAAN received grants from the Leftist Woods Fund when 
Obama was on its board --- but, besides understating the amount (it was 
$75,000, not $40,000), the /Times/ mentions neither that Ayers was also 
on the Woods board at the time nor that AAAN is rabidly anti-Israel. 
(Though the organization regards Israel as illegitimate and has sought 
to justify Palestinian terrorism, Wallsten describes the AAAN as "a 
social service group.")


Perhaps even more inconveniently, the /Times/ also let slip that it had 
obtained a videotape of the party.


Wallsten's story is worth excerpting at length (italics are mine):

   It was a celebration of Palestinian culture --- a night of music,
   dancing and a dash of politics. Local Arab Americans were bidding
   farewell to Rashid Khalidi, an internationally known scholar, critic
   of Israel and advocate for Palestinian rights, who was leaving town
   for a job in New York.

   A special tribute came from Khalidi's friend and frequent dinner
   companion, the young state Sen. Barack Obama. Speaking to the crowd,
   Obama reminisced about meals prepared by Khalidi's wife, Mona, and
   conversations that had challenged his thinkin

*U.S. Army delays, alters medical studies under a little-known

U.S. Army delays, alters medical studies under a little-known scientific 
censorship program.*

*
Policy 'stifles scientific discourse,' says an Army epidemiologist*

Since 2006 U.S. Army censors have scrutinized hundreds of medical studies,
scientific posters, abstracts and Powerpoint presentations authored by 
doctors and
scientists at Walter Reed and other Army medical research centers---part 
of a little-
known prepublication review process called "Actionable Medical 
Information Review."


More than 300 scientific documents have been reviewed by Army censors to 
date.
Fewer than half of them have been cleared for public disclosure in their 
original form.


The program is intended to deny Iraqi and Afghan insurgents sensitive 
data such as
combat injury and death rates. But dozens of studies reviewed under the 
program did
not involve research directly related to combat operations. Instead, 
they described
controversial topics like the effects of war on soldiers' children, 
hospital-acquired
infections, post-deployment adjustment issues, refugees, suicide, 
alcoholism,
vaccines, cancer among veterans and problems with military health care 
databases.


An Army epidemiologist has been threatened with disciplinary action for 
allegedly
violating the policy after sending a letter to Stars & Stripes lamenting 
the Pentagon's
inadequate resources for tracking and studying diseases---as Congress 
requires.

October 21, 2008---Army censors operating at a public relations office 
in Falls
Church, VA, and elsewhere in the U.S. and Europe have quietly reviewed, 
altered

and in several cases blocked publication of medical studies authored by Army
doctors and researchers, an investigation by epiNewswire has found. The
"Actionable Medical Information" (AMI) review policy was first 
established with an

Army Medical Command (MEDCOM) memo dated December 2, 2005, and renewed
in 2006.

At least 312 unclassified medical studies and presentations have been 
reviewed
under the policy since its inception, according to an AMI tracking 
database obtained

with the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).

Fewer than half have been approved for public release in their original 
form. In
2007, 6 percent of papers were denied permission for public disclosure, 
but so far

this year that denial
rate has nearly
tripled to 17 per
-cent.

Public relations
officers review each
scientific paper or
talk prepared by
researchers at Walter Reed Army Medical Center and other medical research
facilities. Their primary task is to identify papers that may reveal 
sensitive information
from combat theaters, such as injury and death rates for U.S. soldiers, 
and pass

them along to operational security censors, says Ann Ham, the Army Surgeon
General's Office public affairs official who heads up MEDCOM's AMI reviews.

But dozens of studies listed in the MEDCOM AMI tracking database appear 
to have
fallen well outside the stated scope of the AMI policy, addressing 
issues unrelated to

combat operations, noted Katherine Rabb of the National Coalition Against
Censorship's The Knowledge Project: Censorship & Science in New York, NY.
Examples include the effects of war on soldiers' children and families, 
veterans' post-
deployment adjustment issues, refugees, suicide, alcoholism, vaccines, 
sexually
transmitted diseases, problems with military health care databases and 
even the
THC content of commercial hemp products. Also reviewed by censors was a 
study

of cancer in veterans of the 1991 Gulf War and hospital-acquired infections.

Release of dozens of other studies has been delayed as AMI reviews drag 
on for
months, despite a 5-day time limit for reviews stipulated in the AMI 
policy memo.


Ham failed to respond to requests to explain why studies unrelated to combat
operations were reviewed under the AMI program. By telephone, she emphasized
that very few researchers are completely denied permission to publish or 
otherwise
release their studies. "We try to work with them, to identify problems 
and find
solutions together so studies don't have to be denied approval," she 
said. She was
unaware of any scientist appealing a denial decision or required
