[CTRL] Fw: WHAT JOHN KERRY DID TO ME - by Craig Roberts
-Caveat Lector- Source:News With Viewshttp://www.newswithviews.com/WHAT JOHN KERRY DID TO ME http://www.newswithviews.com/Craig/roberts.htmBy Craig Roberts mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]October 18, 2004 Theres an old saying: What goes around, comes around. Simply put, what one does to others eventually comes back to haunt them. It is normally used in a negative context. In these last few weeks before the election of 2004, John Kerry is beginning to reap the rewards of the above statement. Besides the various groups that have come forward to condemn him, there is another group that the media ignores as much as it can. It is the group of guys like me, Vietnam vets who have been forced to live our lives under the stigma of negativism, hate, and total disrespect normally reserved for enemies of the country. It is the guys like me that, from the very day we returned from Southeast Asia, have had to launch into the rest of our lives and drive on, trying as much as possible to suffer the slings and arrows of the communist-backed anti-war crowd and the continuing aftermath of all they have done. Kerry was a leader in this movement. For each and every one of us who survived Vietnam, where we simply did our jobs and tried to serve our country with honor, it has been a continuing battle ever since to live through the atmosphere of condemnation and accusations cast upon us by such as John Kerry, Jane Fonda, Tom Hayden and their gang of communist misfits. It is rather late for Kerry to step forward, render a salute and announce reporting for duty. Kerry now is trying to use his Vietnam service as a political springboard, and the sad thing is that there are many people who think this automatically qualifies him as a hero. The problem lies with us veterans who know the truth. Four months in Vietnam does not qualify one to tout a great deal of combat experience. In fact, four months in the infantry barely qualified one to stand watch alone or take point on a patrol. Kerry, using the Three Heart Rule wherein one could be transferred out of the combat zone after three Purple Hearts were awarded, found a way to leave the country as soon as possible, leaving his crew and shipmates behind. The Swiftboat Veterans for Truth have already addressed this issue and the lack of evidence clouding the issuance of the medals themselves. I am more concerned with what he did after he came home. It is in those days and weeks and months that he stabbed me and every other Vietnam vet in the back and twisted the knife whose blade was forged on the anvil of deceit and beaten with a hammer of lies. Then he left the knife in our backs where it remains to this day. It is the same knife that is still in the backs of our children who are serving today, a legacy directly traceable to the anti-military movement of the 60s. I was a young Marine grunt in 1965-66. I landed with the famous 9th Marine Regiment at Da Nang in July of 1965, and served as an automatic rifleman in an infantry company until February 1966, when I then became a snipera job I didnt really want at the time, but Marines do not question orders. I finished my tour with a medevac flight back to the world at the end of May of 1966 and spent six months in the hospital in San Diego recovering from wounds. It was here that I saw a daily infusion of real heroes, guys who were missing limbs, suffered grievous and paralyzing wounds, and barely hung onto life while fighting tropical diseases we didnt even have names for. My own wounds consisted of a punji stake in my right calf, shrapnel wounds in both legs, coupled with amoebic dysentery and ulcerative colitis and malaria. No one there had received Purple Hearts for scratches, nor did they want any. We were the generation of baby boomers that grew up after World War II on a diet of gung ho patriotic John Wayne movies, who used to dress up in our dads old uniforms and medals and play army. We saw the Victory at Sea series showing the ticker tape parades and brass bands and smiling and waving crowds that our parents experienced in 1945. But now it was different. There were no bands, no parades, no ticker tape, and no smiling, cheering crowds. It was like you were in the jungle or rice paddies one day, then home a couple of days later where no one seemed to know there was a war going on or at least didnt seem to care. Still, we were glad to be home and did the best we could to get on with our lives. We could live without bands and parades and heroes welcomes Then along comes John Kerry. I remember when I first heard of Vietnam Veterans Against the War and wondered who in the heck these morons and cowards were. Obviously they must be draftees, dope smoking hippies from San Franciso that got drafted and sent to Vietnam, whining and complaining all the way there and back. So who wants to listen to them? Evidently Congress did. John F. Kerry, wearing a green

These regions are central to a trans-Afghan pipeline which would grant broad economic and military power throughout the Eurasian landmass. Military decisions in the Balkans by NATO forces mirrored the same concerns of control for these vital areas. Before Unocal was able to make their first bid in the region, Bridas, an Argentinian oil company headed by an ambitious Carlos Bulgheroni struck a deal with the Rabbani government which gave him a thirty year agreement on an 875 mile pipeline. Bulgheroni looked for partners, among them Unocal, and was turned down. Teaming up with Saudi Arabia's Delta Oil,Russia's Gazprom, and Turkmenistan's state owned Turkmenrozgas, Unocal made their own deals with local leaders in the area. This led to Turkmenistan blocking exports from some of Bridas' oil fields, which led to three lawsuits filed with the International Chamber of Commerce that Bridas eventually won. They lost the suit against Unocal in Texas, in which they charged them with civil conspiracy and tortuous interference. Unocal was awarded a 918 mile pipeline in October of 1995. The Taliban overthrew the Rabbani government with help from the CIA and Pakistan's ISI. This negated whatever thirty year contract Bulgheroni had with Afghanistan which led him to fight back the only way left. Deal with the Taliban, and their dealings went back and forth until two U.S. embassis were bombed in Africa. President William J. Clinton initiated a freeze on business deals with the Afghani government as it was and this put a halt to the pipeline. After 9/11, and the subsequent war there, new roads have miraculous opened up for work on huge $3.2 billion deal signed in December of 2002 between Pakistan, Turkmenistan and Afghanistan (whose new president, Hamid Karzai, was a Unocal consultant in 1996-97, working on a feasability study for a pipeline in Afghanistan)[6][7]. Among others working with Unocal in the Afghani region have been: Henry Kissinger, Robert Oakley, Richard Armitage, and Zalmay Khalilzad.[8]; [9]; [10]; [11] Coalition brands Unocal 'a dangerous scofflaw corporation' Unocal's history is a chronicle of one major oil leak or spill after another. Multinational Monitor named Unocal one of the 10 worst corporations of 1994 and 1998. In September 1998, "a coalition of 30 citizens' groups petitioned then Attorney General of California Dan Lungren to begin charter revocation proceedings against Union Oil Company of California (Unocal)" which they referred to as "a dangerous scofflaw corporation". In 1969 a blowout at Unocal's (then Union Oil of California), Platform A off the pristine Santa Barbara coast poured 200,000 barrels of crude into the ocean [12]. Massive underground leaking in Avila Beach California resulted in the demolition of the town [13] [14] [15], And another, the central coast town, Orcutt, was similarly found to be contaminated [16]. Unocal reached a $43.8 million settlement for a long time diluent release in the Guadalupe dunes, California [17]. In San Francisco, Unocal was found guilty of "continuously dumping excess selenium into San Francisco Bay" [18]. In Kenai, Alaska, a Unocal ammonia and fertiliser plant experienced an explosion that "ruptured a containment tank, causing about 30,000 gallons of methyldiethanolamine (MDEA), a chemical solution, to spill and about 500 pounds of ammonia gas to vent into the air" [19].

When globalresearch.ca caves in, this is a lot worse than I thought it was. See: Apology to Sheik Khalid bin Mahfouz. Evidently the Bin Mahfouz organization has purchased the domain name 911 review.org. Research projects on 9-11 and related issues, such as Cooperative Research, who depend on "mainstream" sources, have been forced to re-write the historical record. Bin Mahfouz's wife was not the issue. It is his sister who is, or maybe was, Osama's wife. It's obvious why Bin Mahfouz, Al Kadi [Qadi], the Muwaffaq Foundation [Blessed Relief], et.al. have used the UK "libel" court system to shut up the UK US media. In UK "libel" courts, "truth is not an absolute defense" and "a story can be correct in all of its facts, but if a court finds it to be defamatory, the defendant can be held liable." The mergers of IPSs, i.e. AOL MSN, with print broadcasting media conglomerates has certainly compromised the independence of even "alternative" websites. Simon Masters "called this system disgraceful. A libel fight was immensely time-consuming and potentially hugely expensive - 'vastly more than the publisher could hope to earn from the book'. The UK libel system, he said is 'stifling legitimate freedom of speech.'" Osama's brother, Yeslam Binladen, sued in a Swiss court for "libel" against Jean-Charles Brisard, author of the "Forbidden Truth," on basicly the same grounds that Bin Mahfouz used in the UK. Yeslam Binladen lost the case. See: Court rejects attempts to ban bin Laden book. If the Google cache expires, you can find it here: http://www.libertythink.com/archives/2002_12_31_archives.html. Another "libel" suit filed by Ansar al-Islam leader, Mullah Krekar, in Norway, backfired and Krekar had to pay for the "court costs." In this case, truth and freedom of speech prevailed.

[CTRL] CALL TODAY NAFTA ID vs. biometric checkpoints: Conference Cmte on 9/11 police state bills w/ national ID
-Caveat Lector- Sorry for the resend, but DC sources say the staffers are meeting TODAY - MONDAY - on the National ID language. CALL THESE NUMBERS TODAY. PLEASE FORWARD PLEASE FORWARD PLEASE FORWARD A joint House-Senate Committee is hashing out the details of the final 9/11 police state bill. The Conference Committee and their staffs need to be contacted and told: NO NAFTA ID! NO CHECKPOINTS! NO NATIONAL ID whatsoever! The House 9/11 Commission police state bill, HR 10, was passed on Oct. 8th. It codifies something called the Driver License Agreement, which invisions linking all state driver license ( state ID) databases with those of the states and provinces on Mexico and Canada to create a kind of NAFTA ID card rather than a national ID card. The Senate version is considerably different. Its national ID provision, snuck on to the bill by Sen. McCain and Collins, sets up a biometric integrated screening system with checkpoints; and leaves to the Homeland Security Department the details as to how drivers' licenses will be integrated into the biometric screening system. Below is a list of the conference committee which is reconciling the differences between the bills. There is a feverish race in the Capitol to push this through before the election. The Conference may be done as soon as Friday. The staffs working on the National ID provisions mostly consist of the House Judiciary Committee and the Senate Government Affairs Committee.

[CTRL] Fw: STILL SCAMMING SOCIAL SECURITY
-Caveat Lector- The following article was originally published in March of 2001/ The only thing that has changed is the amount of IOU's (bonds) in the "trust funds." This represents the amount of social security taxes collected that the Congress has spent on non-social security items. It is now close to $3 trillion. MEDIUM RARE By Jim Rarey March 25, 2001 STILL SCAMMING SOCIAL SECURITY Amid much fanfare, the report of the Old Age and Survivors Insurance and Disability Insurance Trustees Report (OASDI) was issued recently. Headlines on wire service reports and news articles in the kept media trumpeted the extension of the solvency of the Social Security Trust Fund to the year 2038, one year later than previously estimated. However, a summary of the report (found at www.ssa.gov/OACT/TR01tr_IIA.html) reveals this interpretation to be nothing but smoke and mirrors. The trustees considered three possibilities (high cost, intermediate cost, and low cost). The version released to the news media was the intermediate cost scenario. It projected the exhaustion of the trust fund(s) in 2038. What is generally referred to as the Social Security Trust Fund is actually a combination of two trust funds, Old Age and Survivors Insurance (OASI) and Disability Insurance (DI) trust funds. At the end of year 2000, the combined assets of the two funds were $1.049 trillion. The assets are projected to grow to $3.088 trillion by 2010. The report does identify those assets as special (non-marketable) interest bearing government bonds. However, the reader is left on his own to realize that those bonds must be redeemed either from the general fund, increased payroll taxes, lowered benefits, or a combination of the three. The program actually runs out of money to pay all benefits when tax collections are less than benefits paid. At that point, bonds must be redeemed to pay the difference. That point arrives much earlier than 2038 even under the optimistic intermediate version. Annual costs would exceed tax revenue beginning in 2016 The report provides estimates of the depletion of the trust funds under high cost assumptions. These take into consideration possible changes in cost (benefit) projections. However, it does not deal with the very real possibility of lower tax collections due to economic conditions. In this writers opinion, the crisis will arrive around the year 2010 when a combination of higher benefits and lower tax receipts will require additional money be pumped into the programs. In the interim, between this year and 2010, over two trillion dollars in excess payroll taxes will have been spent on a combination of buying back bonds from the public and other government programs. The day of reckoning is much closer than they want us to believe. And the Medicare program is in even deeper trouble. Permission is granted to reproduce this article in its entirety.

[CTRL] Space age plan to tame might of hurricanes
-Caveat Lector- http://observer.guardian.co.uk/print/0,3858,5035732-102275,00.html Space age plan to tame might of hurricanes Microwave radiation and controlled oil slicks could change the path and sap the power of tropical stormsRobin McKie, science editorSunday October 10, 2004 The ObserverScientists are developing techniques aimed at taming the power of the world's most devastating storms. The project, backed by funds from Nasa, would involve seeding clouds, coating seas with biodegradable 'slicks' and even beaming microwave radiation from orbiting power stations to slow or even halt hurricanes. Controlling these great, rolling tempests - known as hurricanes in the Atlantic, typhoons in the western Pacific and cyclones in the eastern Pacific - is now considered an urgent priority. Last month Hurricane Ivan killed more than 70 people and destroyed thousands of homes, miles of roads, swaths of vegetation and scores of hotels as it swept over Grenada, Jamaica, Tobago, the Cayman Islands, the Dominican Republic, Haiti and finally Cuba. Three similar recent storms caused the same kind of devastation, and meteorologists predict the next two decades will see increases in numbers and severity of hurricanes. Global warming is likely to worsen the problem. 'Nothing stands in the way of hurricanes,' says Ross Hoffman, in the current issue of Scientific American. 'But must these fearful forces be forever beyond our control?' The answer is 'no', he adds, for one day they could be controlled thanks to developments in computing, satellite technology and material sciences. Backed by Nasa funds, his team of scientists at Atmospheric and Environmental Research, a research and development consulting firm, have created computer simulations of past hurricanes, including Hurricane Iniki which caused enormous damage to the Hawaiian island Kauai in 1992, and Hurricane Andrew, which devastated south Florida in the same year. To their surprise they found that by making only relatively small changes to temperatures and other meteorological variables they could induce major alterations in its path and behaviour. Slight tinkering sent Iniki on a route that missed Kauai, for example. 'The question is: how can such perturbations be achieved?' asks Hoffman. The team has proposed several answers. One is to coat the ocean in front of a hurricane with a biodegradable oil which would slow the evaporation of water from the sea surface, depriving the developing storm of its sustenance. Another technique is to seed the eyes of hurricanes with silver iodide crystals, speeding formation of ice from water vapour. Spread by aircraft, these seed clouds could cause hurricanes to dissipate, although the group acknowledges that early tests have been only partially successful. The ultimate technique would be the construction of a flotilla of orbiting power stations that would collect the Sun's rays and beam them to Earth as microwave radiation. These satellites are considered a promising, non-polluting energy source for the future, but could also be used to heat the sea and air around hurricanes, altering their paths and dissipating their energy.

[CTRL] polls....polls...where's the incesant reporting of polls of past elections?
-Caveat Lector- Yes where are the constant reporting of poll results? During the 1992 and 1996 election season I think if there was an interval of more than say 2 seconds between the reporting of a new poll (when Clinton was beating Geroge HW Bush and Bob Dole). What happening this season? Is it because the Liberal/left wing/marxist/leninist biased news media's candidate is behind in the polls (well at least doesn't have clear lead) all of a sudden reporting of polls is stiffled??

Grossman October 14, 2004,Wired News http://www.wired.com/news/technology/0,1282,65338,00.html?tw=newsletter_topstories_html Less than a week after the U.S.-directed London seizure of two of its servers, the collective news organization IndyMedia said Wednesday that the devices have been returned to its service provider, Rackspace. However, the 20 or so sites that these servers host will remain closed to the public until the organization can inspect the disks and ensure their contents have not been altered. Both IndyMedia and the Electronic Frontier Foundation, which is providing the collective with legal representation, say it's still unclear exactly what happened, who ordered the seizures or on what basis they were ordered. The best guess insiders offer, because of the sequence of events, is that the seizure was provoked by a posting that originated on IndyMedia's Swiss site, and that the seizure request therefore originated with Swiss police. The posting in question appeared on IndyMedia's Swiss site about Sept. 7, and included several photographs of two men that accompanying paragraphs in French claimed were undercover Swiss police photographing G8 protesters. The posting was picked up and reposted on a second IndyMedia site based in Nantes, France. These sites are autonomous, like the rest of IndyMedia's 50 sites. According to Devin Theriot-Orr, a Seattle-based IndyMedia volunteer and an attorney with Edwards, Sieh, Smith, and Goodfriend, around Sept. 22 IndyMedia volunteers received e- mail from Rackspace requesting the removal of the posting and alleging that it contained personal information about and threats against the two officers. The posting was edited to remove a comment about revenge being a dish best served cold and to blank out the officers' faces. On Oct. 1, Theriot-Orr received a visit from two FBI agents, apparently on behalf of the Swiss government. They came in and asked questions about the post and I clarified it with them. It's not illegal to take pictures of officers taking pictures of us and posting them, and they agreed and said it was not a U.S. investigation, but a Swiss matter, and they were acting ... on behalf of the Swiss government. The Swiss government, they told Theriot-Orr, was not concerned about the photos, but wanted personal identifying information removed. I said, 'OK, I have no power or control over the French IndyMedia center, since each one is autonomous, but I will pass it on.' They left, and he assumed the matter was resolved. A week later, the two servers went offline. Rackspace's press statement says little more than the company told IndyMedia at the time. Rackspace Managed Hosting, a U.S.-based company with offices in London, is acting in compliance with a court order pursuant to Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty (MLAT), which establishes procedures for countries to assist each other in investigations such as international terrorism, kidnapping and money laundering. Rackspace responded to a Commissioner's subpoena, duly issued under Title 28, United States Code, Section 1782 in an investigation that did not arise in the United States. Rackspace is acting as a good corporate citizen and is cooperating with international law enforcement authorities. The court prohibits Rackspace from commenting further on this matter. Both Theriot-Orr and the EFF's counsel, Kevin Bankston, stressed that no one knows yet what actually happened. There are a lot of unanswered questions, said Bankston, but we are going to take legal actions to get them answered. The immediate problem is solved, but we are trying to figure out what the agency was and which the issuing court was. Even the FBI agents he's talked to seem unsure. We think it's clearly illegal, but before we can

Uncle Sam using Texas' SAM. By Chris Mellor, Techworld You've probably heard about Echelon, the vast listening system run by the US, UK, Canada and Australia that scans the world's voice traffic looking for key words and phrases. Aside from using the system for industrial espionage and bypassing international and national laws to listen in on people, it is also used to listen out for people like Osama bin Laden and assorted terrorists in the hope of preventing attacks. All this is out in the relative open thanks to investigative journalists and a European Commission report into the system, concerned and annoyed that the Brits and Yanks has got there first. It works like this: The calls are recorded by geo-stationary spy satellites and listening stations, such as the UK's Menworth Hill, which combine satellite-intercepted calls and trunk landline intercepts and forward them on to centres, such as the US' Fort Meade, where supercomputers work on the recordings in real time. But what, you ask, can deal with that overwhelming mass of data that helps our government spy on the world? And how does it work? Well, a Texas Memory Systems SAM product - a combined solid-state disk (SSD) and DSP (digital signal processor). Woody Hutsell, an executive VP at TMS, said: Fifty percent of our revenue this year will come from DSP systems, more than last year. The systems are a combination of SSD with DSP ASICs. ASICs are application-specific integrated circuits - chips dedicated to a specific purpose. TMS has a TM-44 DSP chip which has 8 GFLOPS of processing power - that's eight billion floating point operations per second. The processing uses floating point arithmatic operations to supply the accuracy needed for the analysis. A DSP chip turns analogue signals from a sensor or recorder into digital information usable by a computer. Digital cameras will use a DSP to turn the light signals coming through the lens into digital picture element, or pixel, information. A SAM-650 product is called a 192 GFLOPS DSP supercomputer by TMS. It is just 3U high and has 24 DSP chips and is positioned as a back-end number cruncher controlled by any standard server - a similar architecture to that used by Cray supercomputers. There are vast streams of information coming from recorded telephone conversations. The ability to have the DSPs work in parallel speeds up analysis enormously. Spinning hard drives can't feed the DSPs fast enough, nor are they quick enough for subsequent software analysis of the data. Consequently TMS uses its solid state technology to provide a buffer up to 32GB that keeps the DSPs operating at full speed. A cluster of five SAM-650's provides a terra flop of processing power; one trillion floating point operations per second. Echelon is a global surveillance network set up in Cold War days to provide the US goverment with intelligence data about Russia. One of the main contractors is Raytheon. Lockheed Martin has been involved in writing software for it. Since then it has expanded into a general listening facility, an electronic vacuum cleaner, sucking up the world's telephone conversations. Information about it's existence has been reluctantly revealed, prompted by scandals such as the recordings of Princess Diana's telephone calls by the NSA. Recorded signals are fed into the TMS SAM systems where the DSPs filter out the noise to produce much clearer signals that software can work on to detect individual voices, perform voice recognition, and listen out for keywords, such as, for example, Semtex. Decryption of encrypted calls is also a likely activity. Hutsell says the SAM systems, are supplied to intelligence agencies and the

[CTRL] Kerry at Senate Hearing
-Caveat Lector- Senator William Fulbright invited John Kerry to testify at a hearing of his Foreign Relations Committee of which he was the chairman. Kerry was the sole witness. John O'neil, one of the leaders of the Swift Boat Vets for Truth, requested to be heard at the same hearing but was denied. http://www.nationmaster.com/encyclopedia/Fulbright-Hearing The Legislative Proposals Relating to the War in Southeast Asia, more commonly known as the Fulbright Hearing, was a hearing of Foreign Relations Committee of the United States Senate held on April 22, 1971 regarding continued U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War. Democratic Senator J. William Fulbright of Arkansas, was the chairman of the committee and presided over the hearing, which consisted of testimony from the sole witness, John Kerry. Kerry gave a prepared open statement and later was asked questions by the Senators. It was at this hearing, during his testimony that John Kerry asked the question "How do you ask a man to be the last man to die in Vietnam? How do you ask a man to be the last man to die for a mistake?" More recently, during the 2004 United States presidential campaign, come critics of Senator Kerry, have focused current media attention on this long past Senate hearing and have alleged that parts of his testimony that day portrayed American war veterans of that era in an unduly harsh light. Committee members Jacob K. Javits (Republican New York) Clifford P. Case (Republican New Jersey) George D. Aiken, (Republican Vermont) J. William Fulbright (Democrat Arkansas) Claiborne Pell (Democrat Rhode Island) William Symington (Democrat Missouri) The hearing Opening statementThe first action of the hearing is Fulbright's call to order and the opening statement. Fulbright was a Democrat and his opening statement was very sympathetic to Kerry's views: ...I believe they deserve to be heard and listened to by the Congress and by the officials in the executive branch and by the public generally. You have a perspective that those in the Government who make our Nation's policy do no always have and I am sure that your testimony today will be helpful to the committee in its consideration of the proposals before us... Fulbright also mentions the recent U.S. Supreme Court decision, where the court ruled that Vietnam Veterans Against the War, the group for which Kerry was a leader and spokesman, did not have a constitutional right to use the National Mall: ...I regret that. It seems to me to be but another instance of an insensitivity of our Government to the tragic effects of this war upon our people. I want also to congratulate Mr. Kerry, you, and your associates upon the restraint that you have shown, certainly in the hearing the other day when there were a great many of your people here. I think you conducted yourselves in a most commendable manner throughout this week. Whenever people gather there is always a tendency for some of the more emotional ones to do things which are even against their own interests. I think you deserve much of the credit because I understand you are one of the leaders of this group... Kerry's testimonyAfter a brief supportive statement from Javits, Kerry begins reading his prepared opening statement. After thanking each member of the committee by name, Kerry states: I would like to say for the record, and also for the men behind me who are also wearing the uniforms and their medals, that my sitting here is really symbolic. I am not here as John Kerry. I am here as one member of the group of veterans in this country, and were it possible for all of them to sit at this table they would be here and have the same kind of testimony. "The men behind me" refers to members of VVAW and others who came to the committee to hear Kerry testify, which by all accounts was very crowded with supporters and media. Kerry also mentions the short time he had to prepare: I would simply like to speak in very general terms. I apologize if my statement is general because I received notification yesterday you would hear me and I am afraid because of the injunction I was up most of the night and haven't had a great deal of chance to prepare. Kerry then delivers a most important part of his testimony explaining the Winter Soldier Investigation, which took place earlier that year in Detroit, Michigan. This part of the testimony is the most controversial: ...I would like to talk, representing all those veterans, and say that several months ago in Detroit, we had an investigation at which over 150 honorably discharged and many very highly decorated veterans testified to war crimes committed in Southeast Asia, not isolated incidents but crimes committed on a day-to-day basis with the full awareness of officers at all levels of command. It is impossible to describe to you exactly what did happen in Detroit, the emotions in the room, the feelings of the men who were
[CTRL] The madness of George
-Caveat Lector- http://www.guardian.co.uk/uselections2004/markosmoulitsas/story/0,15139,1325454,00.html The madness of George The Bush campaign was once happy to use 'angry' as a term of abuse - but that was before the US public met Furious George, writes US political blogger Markos Moulitsas Tuesday October 12, 2004 The evolution of George Bush's persona over the past few weeks is startling for even the most casual observers. Only a short while ago, Bush was a strong, decisive leader and Kerry was a weak, flip-flopping Massachusetts liberal. The Bush campaign expected those images to carry them through the November elections: it had cost them more than $200m (£112m) to build those caricatures and they had every reason to expect a solid return on their investment. But those images were built on a carefully crafted stage. Despite all the flaws in the US electoral process we still force the candidates to exit that bubble a handful of times during the election, and it is some credit to the system that those three 90-minute debates can still determine the fate of an election. This year, they have helped introduce the nation to Furious George. Bush's political operators have worked overtime to make "angry" a pejorative term this political cycle. They wielded the "too angry" attack against Howard Dean in the primaries, when it seemed Dean would be the Democratic nominee, and it helped destroy Dean's candidacy. Republicans again shouted "too angry" to discredit Al Gore's series of impassioned anti-Bush speeches earlier this year. The "too angry" claims successfully marginalised the content of those speeches - blistering indictments of an incompetent administration. But what happens when your best attack line is a double-edged sword? Bush's operation has taken stage management to extremes. His handlers have figured - correctly - that the press conference format suits their man poorly and is to be avoided at all costs. His last primetime press conference was in April 2004, and he has had only two with the White House press corps since late August - both of them with the Iraqi prime minister, Ayad Allawi, at his side. (The Bush campaign actually wrote Allawi's speech in order to squeeze out precious political points.) Bush's campaign appearances are not much better. While Kerry's events are open to the public, Bush's affairs require the signing of a "loyalty oath". Quietly wearing an anti-Bush T-shirt or badge is grounds for expulsion. Bush faces only adoring audiences vetted by the campaign's enforcers. At his town hall events, questions are planted for maximum political effect. At one, a veteran merely got up and requested permission to salute his commander in chief. Compelling visuals? Perhaps. But it does little to acquaint Bush with reality. Campaign commercials do their best to paint an alternative reality in which Bush is an effective leader and Kerry is anything but. Entire media networks, such as Fox News and Sinclair Broadcasting, prop up Bush in a way that would make their fellow propagandists in North Korea and Cuba proud. Sinclair, in fact, will pre-empt local programming on its 62 stations to air an anti-Kerry movie days before the election - unless a blog-led boycott forces a reversal. Given the force of Republican efforts to deify Bush, his debate performances came as a big shock to many Americans. They showed a Bush quick to anger, indecisiveness, pettiness and petulance. The sheltered Bush was clearly unprepared for the debate and unprepared to face criticism. In fact, it seemed to take him by surprise. No one seemed to have told him he had critics. After his first debate performance, Bush was in a quandary. He had to stem his erosion in the polls, but to do so would require attacking Kerry and furthering the perception that he was too angry to be president. So how did he respond? By getting even more angry. He not only viciously attacked Kerry but also took out the moderator and several questioners in the process. Someone, somewhere, labelled Bush Furious George - a clever turn on HA Rey's Curious George children's books and an appellation that took firm hold in the online and, increasingly, offline worlds. Bush acted like the proverbial ugly American trying to be understood in a foreign land, cranking up the volume and shrillness to make his points while Kerry sat by serenely. The contrast was impossible to miss as Bush became increasingly unhinged. Even on the road, Bush's desperation is palpable as the rhetoric soars to angrier heights. Bush is now hemmed in. With poll after poll showing small Kerry leads, he needs to do something to regain the momentum. His campaign's attack ads have kept him in the game but he is not pulling away. Furthermore, he is well below the 50% mark in most key battleground state polls - a mark of political vulnerability. If he cannot convince people to vote for him, he will have to convince people to vote against Kerry, and to do that he has to

Re: [CTRL] Fwd: Thousands in London Antiwar Protest
-Caveat Lector- The making of the terror myth Since September 11 Britain has been warned of the 'inevitability' of catastrophic terrorist attack. But has the danger been exaggerated? A major new TV documentary claims that the perceived threat is a politically driven fantasy - and al-Qaida a dark illusion. Andy Beckett reports Friday October 15, 2004The Guardian Since the attacks on the United States in September 2001, there have been more than a thousand references in British national newspapers, working out at almost one every single day, to the phrase "dirty bomb". There have been articles about how such a device can use ordinary explosives to spread lethal radiation; about how London would be evacuated in the event of such a detonation; about the Home Secretary David Blunkett's statement on terrorism in November 2002 that specifically raised the possibility of a dirty bomb being planted in Britain; and about the arrests of several groups of people, the latest only last month, for allegedly plotting exactly that. Starting next Wednesday, BBC2 is to broadcast a three-part documentary series that will add further to what could be called the dirty bomb genre. But, as its title suggests, The Power of Nightmares: The Rise of the Politics of Fear takes a different view of the weapon's potential. "I don't think it would kill anybody," says Dr Theodore Rockwell, an authority on radiation, in an interview for the series. "You'll have trouble finding a serious report that would claim otherwise." The American department of energy, Rockwell continues, has simulated a dirty bomb explosion, "and they calculated that the most exposed individual would get a fairly high dose [of radiation], not life-threatening." And even this minor threat is open to question. The test assumed that no one fled the explosion for one year. During the three years in which the "war on terror" has been waged, high-profile challenges to its assumptions have been rare. The sheer number of incidents and warnings connected or attributed to the war has left little room, it seems, for heretical thoughts. In this context, the central theme of The Power of Nightmares is riskily counter-intuitive and provocative. Much of the currently perceived threat from international terrorism, the series argues, "is a fantasy that has been exaggerated and distorted by politicians. It is a dark illusion that has spread unquestioned through governments around the world, the security services, and the international media." The series' explanation for this is even bolder: "In an age when all the grand ideas have lost credibility, fear of a phantom enemy is all the politicians have left to maintain their power." Adam Curtis, who wrote and produced the series, acknowledges the difficulty of saying such things now. "If a bomb goes off, the fear I have is that everyone will say, 'You're completely wrong,' even if the incident doesn't touch my argument. This shows the way we have all become trapped, the way even I have become trapped by a fear that is completely irrational." So controversial is the tone of his series, that trailers for it were not broadcast last weekend because of the killing of Kenneth Bigley. At the BBC, Curtis freely admits, there are "anxieties". But there is also enthusiasm for the programmes, in part thanks to his reputation. Over the past dozen years, via similarly ambitious documentary series such as Pandora's Box, The Mayfair Set and The Century of the Self, Curtis has established himself as perhaps the most acclaimed maker of serious television programmes in Britain. His trademarks are long research, the revelatory use of archive footage, telling interviews, and smooth, insistent voiceovers concerned with the unnoticed deeper currents of recent history, narrated by Curtis himself in tones that combine traditional BBC authority with something more modern and sceptical: "I want to try to make people look at things they think they know about in a new way." The Power of Nightmares seeks to overturn much of what is widely believed about Osama bin Laden and al-Qaida. The latter, it argues, is not an organised international network. It does not have members or a leader. It does not have "sleeper cells". It does not have an overall strategy. In fact, it barely exists at all, except as an idea about cleansing a corrupt world through religious violence. Curtis' evidence for these assertions is not easily dismissed. He tells the story of Islamism, or the desire to establish Islam as an unbreakable political framework, as half a century of mostly failed, short-lived revolutions and spectacular but politically ineffective terrorism. Curtis points out that al-Qaida did not even have a name until early 2001, when the American government decided to prosecute Bin Laden in his absence and had to use anti-Mafia laws that required the existence of a named criminal organisation.
