-Caveat Lector- I've been interviewing "spokespeople" from Symantec (they don't like to give out their real names) about this issue for the past couple of weeks. I finally got one to go on record saying very specifically that "if a Symantec customer located a copy of the Magic Lantern trojan horse virus and gave us a copy, we would be obliged to filter for it with our anti-virus software." In other words, their new public position is that they will actively block FBI-authored viruses. Interesting, no? http://groups.yahoo.com/group/agentsmiley/message/1599
On November 24 federal INS agents arrested Dr. Mazen Al-Najjar, a former adjunct professor at the University of South Florida, on a deportation order based on overstaying his student visa. The 43-year-old Palestinian immigrant had been released last December after spending three-and-half years in jail on the basis of supposed “secret evidence” linking him to terrorist organizations. http://www.wsws.org/articles/2001/dec2001/pal-d12.shtml U.S. Congressman Trafficant's offices confirmed Monday continuing activities inside the U.S. General Accounting Office to openly investigate the missing appropriations which spent over $550 million tax payer dollars to secretly develop HIV/AIDS. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/agentsmiley/message/1589 After Years of Denials, U.S. Links Illness to Gulf War http://www.iht.com/articles/41597.html The London-based Institute for War and Peace Reporting has reported from Khanabad, Uzbekistan, that the US air base in this city is receiving daily flights carrying dead and injured US soldiers. Uzbek sources at Khanabad suggest that the real figures of US casualties are far higher than the Pentagon's official totals. http://66.96.205.195/~azzam/afghan/news/news.php?id=33 I was one of the first tenants in the World Trade Center (WTC) back in 1979. Back then----over 20 years ago----it was known to all the tenants of the WTC that the WTC was a “no fly” zone. If you came within 12 miles of the WTC, flying outside of a pattern where you were supposed to be, you were warned to back off. If you came within five miles, they would threaten to shoot you down. If you came within three miles, they could shoot you down. If I remember correctly, on the roof of tower No. 2 they had surface to air missiles for that purpose, plus also the Spatz helicopters for that purpose. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/agentsmiley/message/1583 Being a winner on the big game board of politics sometimes takes more than an en-thusiastic roll of the dice. Secretary of the Interior Gale Norton learned this recently by landing on the "Bureaucrat Go to Jail" space when U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth scheduled civil contempt-of-court proceedings against her and other officials who have handled the looted Indian trust fund. http://www.insightmag.com/main.cfm?include=detail&storyid=158428 The General Assembly this afternoon adopted 25 resolutions and 3 decisions, all but two -- recommended by its Fourth Committee (Special Political and Decolonization) concerning decolonization, information, atomic radiation, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNWRA) and Israeli practices in the occupied Palestinian territories. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/agentsmiley/message/1594 The US cable television channel American Movie Classics (AMC), devoted to broadcasting Hollywood films of the past, aired its own special on December 4. Into the Shadows: The CIA in Hollywood is as revealing for what it omits as what it presents. From its title and the breathless quality of the narration, the viewer might have reasonably expected an exposι of the filthy deeds of the spy outfit and its connections to the American film industry. Instead, however, the show, with its pseudo- film noir veneer, essentially depicts the CIA as a life-saving, humanitarian entity. http://www.wsws.org/articles/2001/dec2001/cia-d12.shtml Pasted below are excerpts from the Free Congress Foundation's lengthy strategic statement for the Traditional Conservative Movement (the URL is provided if you want to read the whole thing). It lays out the expedient, propagandistic, dishonest, morally relativistic strategy supported by some on the far right. Recall that the Free Congress Foundation is headed by prominent and influential conservative activist Paul Weyrich (who also founded the Heritage Foundation). To really understand just how scary this strategy is, just remember how cozy the Bush administration is with Weyrich and people of his ilk. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/agentsmiley/message/1596 John Walker Lindh, the American who fought for Afgan Indepenence with the al Qa-eda is suddenly claiming that he knows that al Qa-eda is about to use bilogical weapons on the U.S. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/agentsmiley/message/1597 Has there ever really been a clash of civilisations? Did Venice and the Ottoman Empire clash because of differences in their interpretation of Abraham's decisions, or because they were locked in a struggle for control over the Mediterranean maritime trade? http://groups.yahoo.com/group/agentsmiley/message/1590 John Bin Ashcroft is wanted in connection with the post-September 11, 2001 attacks on the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights. He is believed to be in the terrorist stronghold of Washington, D.C. http://www.aci.net/kalliste/ashcroft/bin_ashcroft.htm Now, three decades after the sabotaged publication of the book, Guerrilla News Network presents a beat-driven, design-enhanced video of The War Conspiracy. In addition, we are featuring an in-depth interview with Professor Scott regarding the new War on Terrorism and how it parallels his research in the Vietnam era. We are also honored to present an exclusive publication of the Introduction to The War Conspiracy, revised and re-edited on the thirtieth anniversary of the book's conception. http://www.guerrillanews.com/war_conspiracy/ Today Colin Powell, the US secretary of state widely seen as the White House 's leading dove, is to visit Tony Blair in London to discuss a multi-national stabilisation force for Afghanistan. It became increasingly clear last night that Britain will lead a UN-sponsored stabilisation force of thousands of troops to be deployed in Kabul next week. http://www.guardian.co.uk/international/story/0,3604,616845,00.html >From December 15, 2001 through January 1, 2002, the International Solidarity Movement will be welcoming dozens of international civilians who will be coming to the Occupied Palestinian Territories to show their solidarity with the Palestinian people in their struggle for freedom and an end to Israeli military occupation. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/agentsmiley/message/1598 Meanwhile, the rate of evidence manufacture was astounding. The FBI, who didn't have a clue that anything was going to happen prior to September 11—and therefore needed a bigger budget, and more police powers, and more days of paid vacation—suddenly traced many of the alleged hijackers to two flight schools in Venice, Florida (two flight schools which had all the curious trappings of a U.S. intelligence operation). All the flight school records were confiscated and placed on a government plane, which flew out of Florida with Jeb Bush aboard. http://www.zolatimes.com/V5.50/lfc_news2.html Media Lens is a response based on our conviction that mainstream newspapers and broadcasters provide a profoundly distorted picture of our world. We are convinced that the increasingly centralised, corporate nature of the media means that it acts as a de facto propaganda system for corporate and other establishment interests. The costs incurred as a result of this propaganda, in terms of human suffering and environmental degradation, are incalculable. http://www.medialens.org/frameset.html The U.S. Department of Defense has launched five new weapon acquisition programs since the Sept. 11 terror attacks, including a $5.5 billion program to speed up purchases of Global Hawk unmanned spy planes. http://www.circuitsassembly.com/departments/news/OEG20011210S0036 Iran has substantially increased its financial support for Hamas, the Palestinian terrorist group, in the hope it will succeed in establishing an Islamic regime in the West Bank and Gaza. http://www.nationalpost.com/news/world/story.html?f=/stories/20011210/834184.html There are major “conpiracies” engaged in the business of world domination and subjugation. The Bilderbergers, Council on Foreign Relations, Trilateral Commission, Club of Rome and many others, do exist. It's not just a “theory.” What are the “theories” promoted by the people who are conspiring to to accumulate the power, wealth and resources of the world? How do they view humanity and what do they have in store for us? Lets find out “in their own words” and the words of those who study them. http://www.proliberty.com/observer/20011211.htm Some 60 Israelis, who federal investigators have said are part of a long-running effort to spy on American government officials, are among the hundreds of foreigners detained since the Sept. 11 terror attacks, Fox News has learned. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,40679,00.html To examine the Clinton administration's eagerness to arm the world, the MoJo Wire has compiled a detailed look at America's top weapons customers during the Clinton years, tallying their total 1993-97 purchases through both the Pentagon (so-called "Foreign Military Sales," or FMS) and U.S. manufacturers ("Direct Commercial Sales," or DCS). http://www.motherjones.com/arms/ The chairman of the Jewish Defense League was arrested in connection with a failed bombing plot, federal authorities said. http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/ap/20011212/us/jdl_arrests_4.html U.S. business and political leaders are so wedded to preserving the gilded American-Saudi marriage that officials in Washington D.C. continue to give the oil-rich Gulf monarchy a wide berth, despite mounting evidence of support in Saudi Arabia for Osama bin Laden's terrorist network, some experts say. http://www.bostonherald.com/news/americas_new_war/saud12102001.htm There is a conspiracy theory, which has made the rounds in many circles for many years, that there are forces within the US government that are engineering events such as the 9-11 incident, the Oklahoma City bombing, and so forth, to implement this great "Master Plan" to implement a totalitarian government. This government is part and parcel of a much larger effort by the New World Order, the United Nations, the Illuminati, the Queen of England in league with the Vatican, the multinational corporations, or whomever the scapegoat of the day or the movement, is. Most of the conspiracy theorists present this as if it is a fait accompli which cannot be undone. For all intents and purposes, these people WORSHIP this coming leviathan which they see as unconquerable. http://www.viewzone.com/lizmichael110601.html As many as 10 Israeli soldiers and settlers were killed and over thirty others injured, some badly, when Palestinian guerillas attacked a bus carrying soldiers and settlers near the northern West Bank town of Nablus. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/agentsmiley/message/1603 Construction is proceeding rapidly on the Mars Society's Mars Desert Research Station. The following report by Project Architect Frank Schubert on the progress of the construction work was received today. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/agentsmiley/message/1604 Timeline: U.S. foreknowledge of Sept 11 attacks? http://groups.yahoo.com/group/conspiracy-net/message/3902 The Galileo spacecraft is back on its way in towards Jupiter for the 33rd time (34 if you include our initial approach), having passed the milestone of spending a full 6 years in orbit! Seems like only yesterday ... http://www.weird-world.com/article-detail.asp?fid=204 Osama bin Laden is only an instrument in arms of Al-Quedaís real leaders, whose names are unknown, internal minister of Saudi Arabia, prince Nayef said in his interview to New York Times. http://www.rense.com/general17/whoisosamasowner.htm Enron Corp., whose stunning collapse is being investigated by federal regulators and Congress, is declining to send any officials to a hearing Wednesday by two House panels. http://www.salon.com/tech/wire/2001/12/11/enron_congress/index.html?x Enron is Whitewater in spades. This isn't just some rinky-dink land investment like the one dredged up by right-wing enemies to haunt the Clinton White House--but rather it has the makings of the greatest presidential scandal since the Teapot Dome. http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/la-000098235dec11.column?coll=la%2Dnews%2Dcomment%2Dopinions Irv Rubin and the Libertarian Party http://www.lewrockwell.com/orig/garris2.html My name is Lucia. I'm a Palestinian Christian, the mother of five children ranging in age from seventeen to five. We live in Bethlehem, the city of peace and the birth of the Prince of Peace in the occupied West Bank. My husband, Michael, was a good man, husband, and father. He worked hard as a carpenter to provide for his family. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/agentsmiley/message/1608 Tomorrow evening (Thursday the 13th) at 9 pm EST, many PBS stations around the country, including UNC-TV here in North Carolina, will air "Promises". This one-hour long program is "a documentary about the conflict between Palestinians and Israelis and seven children who have grown up in its whirlwind." "With the candor of youth, the children share their perceptions of themselves, their presumed enemies, and their views of the future." http://groups.yahoo.com/group/agentsmiley/message/1609 On December 9th, Israeli troops invaded the Palestinian town of Anabata and shot dead four Palestinians. Anabata's mayor called the killing a cold blooded murder. Phil Reeves of the Independent wrote another of his excellent articles that debunks the official Israeli line that the Palestinians were killed in an exchange of fire. Before reading the Reeves account, I watched eight half-hour segments of CNN in which the only version was the one in which "Israel says they were killed after firing on Israeli troops." I gave Ted Turner's bastard children eight chances and they lied eight times. Their daddy must be so proud. http://www.mediamonitors.net/amr79.html The Iranian Revolution in 1979 against Shah Reza Pahlavi, at that time America's favorite Muslim tyrant in the region, injected a boost of confidence and possibilities to the Global Islamic Movements throughout the world. It broke the psychological fear that had prevented Muslims to face up to the illegitimate Western surrogate dictatorships oppressing them. http://www.mediamonitors.net/abdullahvawda2.html Given their tight time-line for coalition-building and military actions, the Americans are looking for a quick fix, a reasonable period of industrial quiet in the Middle East. Allowing themselves to be persuaded that Israel can bring the Palestinian Authority to its knees within a matter of weeks, thereby reopening the 'peace process' on terms favorable to Israel, has its attractions. http://www.mediamonitors.net/halper6.html Four Palestinian civilians were killed and at least 17 wounded when Israeli helicopters fired missiles at a security building in the city of Khan Yunis in the Gaza Strip, Palestinian medical sources said yesterday. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/agentsmiley/message/1610 It was yesterday that the American mediator Anthony Zinni tried to set up a 48-hour cease-fire between Israel and the Palestinians. A few hours later, Israeli helicopters killed four Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. On the morning, this was followed by the killing of two Palestinian boys, who the soldiers claimed had been throwing stones at an army outpost. The Israeli media took in its stride these incidents - and other ones, such as an incursion in force into the Palestinian town of Jenin. The funerals, with the thousands of furious mourners, were not shown on Israeli TV at all. The Hamas ambush in the evening, in which nine Israelis got killed and many more wounded, is presented to the public as an unprovoked act of terrorism, killing for the sake of killing. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/agentsmiley/message/1611 The Pentagon says a US Air Force B-1 bomber has gone down in the Indian Ocean. The US plane went down about 50 kilometers north of Diego Garcia - a British base being used by the US military in the war in Afghanistan. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/agentsmiley/message/1612 __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
