-Caveat Lector- NY Timess November 25, 2001 Pentagon officials begin designing military tribunals for suspected terrorists, they are considering the possibility of trials on ships at sea or on United States installations, like the naval base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The proceedings promise to be swift and largely secret, with one military officer saying that the release of information might be limited to the barest facts, like the defendant's name and sentence. Transcripts of the proceedings, this officer said, could be kept from public view for years, perhaps decades. http://www.nytimes.com/2001/11/25/politics/25LEGA.html?todaysheadlines
Twelve Russian Ilyushin-78 aircraft landed this morning at the Bagram airport in Afghanistan. For a long time, Russia has not carried out any operations for transporting equipment and people on such a scale. http://english.pravda.ru/main/2001/11/26/21957.html The men who 'disappeared' in the aftermath of the 1982 massacres in Lebanon's Sabra and Chatila refugee camps could get revenge against Tel Aviv's defiant strongman. http://www.observer.co.uk/international/story/0,6903,605668,00.html A keynote research paper showing that Middle Eastern Jews and Palestinians are genetically almost identical has been pulled from a leading journal. Academics who have already received copies of Human Immunology have been urged to rip out the offending pages and throw them away. http://www.observer.co.uk/international/story/0,6903,605798,00.html Jim Squatter is an anarchist. He's not a typical anarchist, but then, which of us is? Though not a pacifist, Jim is an avid, ardent peace monger. Mongering peace takes up much of Jim's life as, he would say, it should yours. He would say, too, for he's never one to bite his tongue about something important. On the contrary, Jim is a loudmouth. It makes him a thorn in the side of the state. http://sf.indymedia.org/display.php?id=100562#100564 Folk singer, and Earth First! activist, Judi Bari was driving from my friend's place to my other friend's place. A terrorist's nail bomb went off under the front seat of her car, maiming her for life. Whatever your politics, and how ever you feel about Nature, when someone gets maimed by terrorists while driving from your friend's place to your other friend's place, you're supposed to do something about it. Aside from that, you'd better do something about it. You might be next. http://www.sfbg.com/nessie/shannon.html Five or ten minutes before the bomb went off, Judi (Bari) left David Kemnitzer's house, where she had spent the night, and headed for Jim Squatter's place, where the night before, she had attended a meeting that had been hosted by Jim's affinity group, the Seeds of Peace Collective. Two nights before, Stephanie Massey, David's partner of eighteen years, had left him for Jim. It was one of those weeks. A couple years later, David and I sat down to talk about it in depth. http://sf.indymedia.org/display.php?id=100562#100565 A California appellate court has decided for the first time that criticism of public companies on Internet message boards are protected from frivolous litigation by California's anti-SLAPP statute. This echoes the position taken by Public Citizen -- that companies should not be permitted to use lawsuits, or the threat of lawsuits, to silence Internet critics. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/agentsmiley/message/923 More on US Shutdown of Somalia's Telecommunications http://groups.yahoo.com/group/agentsmiley/message/968 INSIDER TRADING PROFITS off of 9-11 were frenzied over by the US media when they thought it was Arab terrorists ... but then the story mysteriously died. Until, the UK Independent reveals that it leads to a firm chaired by the 3rd highest man in the CIA (and stranger still is that $2.5 million of the "winnings" are still unclaimed. http://www.independent.co.uk/story.jsp?story=99402 We said no to bison slaughter for more than a hundred years, but they keep on killing. The genocide against the bison was part and parcel of the genocide against Indians. The recovery of the bison population in Yellowstone was to us a portent that our spirituality and traditional way of life could be rediscovered. http://www.wildrockies.org/buffalo/speak/danB2.html Solar & Wind Earth Home: Texas Style http://www.homepower.com/article.htm When Canadians first learned that CIA brainwashing experiments had been carried out on Canadians... in Canada... with the knowledge of our government, it was tremendous shock. As the fifth estate was first to report in 1980, the work that Dr. Ewan Cameron oversaw at the Allan Memorial Institute in Montreal was shocking. Now, the story of Cameron's experiments and the victims' struggle for justice have been made into a riveting movie, to be broadcast on CBC Television this Sunday and Monday nights. For the victims of The Sleep Room, the horror has never really ended. http://www.radix.net/~jcturner/980106-Fifth-Estate.htm OTTAWA Richard Carlson woke up in the East Block of Kingston Penitentiary, a 10-centimetre gash on his neck, another on his right arm, millimetres from a major artery. He had lived through one nightmare, but now another, much more terrifying, was about to begin. Over the previous 10 days, he carved himself with razor blades to end weeks of torment from voices, he said had been piped day and night into his Collins Bay Penitentiary prison cell. The night before, Carlson almost finished himself off in the military hospital to which he had been transferred. The duty officer looked in on him and saw him slashing his throat. The officer called for something to knock Carlson out but the request was denied. Eventually, hospital staff got him out alive. “From the time we were notified the inmate was slashing it took 45 minutes to have him removed from his cell,” notes a January 1974 medical report detailing the incident. http://www.aches-mc.org/prison.html#PRISON%20EXPERIMENTS%20HAUNT ANATOMY OF A PUBLIC INTEREST CASE AGAINST THE CIA http://www.radix.net/~jcturner/anat-tofc.html Since at least 1981, a worldwide network of 'free-standing' [i.e., no direct U.S. government ties] companies, including airlines, aviation and military spare parts suppliers, and trading companies, has been utilized by the CIA and the U.S. government to illegally ship arms and military spare parts to Iran and to the Contras. These companies were set up with the approval and knowledge of senior CIA offcials and other senior U.S. government officials and staffed primarily by ex-CIA, ex-FBI and ex-military offcers. http://www.webcom.com/%7epinknoiz/covert/brewton.html What really happens to secret government slush funds? Historically "Operation Swordfish" was a government sting operation, set up to ensnare drug dealers in the late 1980s. Using funds illegally obtained from asset seizures, this undercover operation by the FBI and the DEA (Drug Enforcement Agency) actually created dummy corporation fronts to get into the drug business. Eventually government agents and others were caught skimming the slush fund and stealing the money for themselves. http://etherzone.com/dowb062001.shtml A LETTER OF APPRECIATION FROM THE RICH http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Forum/9470/rich.html The rivers are our brothers; they quench our thirst. The rivers carry our canoes and feed our children. If we sell you our land, you must remember, and teach your children, that the rivers are our brothers and yours, and you must henceforth give the rivers the kindness you would give any brother. http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Forum/9470/chief.html The goals of Revolutionary Luminism are the total liberation of the human race, individually and collectively, and a worldwide expansion of human consciousness into higher, more inclusive states from which the realities of our present historical and evolutionary situation can be accurately perceived and properly addressed. http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Forum/9470/ What has been done to this Sacred Cotton Wood Tree was completely wrong. Such a crime is very likely to go unpunished. The Great Spirit has seen this crime committed against many peoples prayers, and the flesh offerings of many have been grinded to bits. This has been certainly the most serious crime ever committed against Our People who only wish to stay on their land and maintain a ceremonial place. It has been a forbidden thing (they) did, and sooner or later it will come to reality that (they) have done this to themselves." http://www.infoshop.org/inews/stories.php?story=01/09/12/7026401 May 22 - A federal land agency on Monday upheld billionaire Philip Anschutz's right to drill an exploratory oil well in an area of south-central Montana where Native American tribes want to preserve sacred rock drawings. http://www.commondreams.org/headlines01/0522-02.htm Early in the morning of November 22, five Palestinian children were blown to pieces by an Israeli mine or bomb as they headed to school in Khan Younis. The children were 6 to 14 years-of-age, all from the Al Astel family. It is unclear if the explosion was set off by the children tripping over or kicking the device, or via remote control. http://www.counterpunch.org/ The overwhelming majority of Palestinians [...] have seen their schools shuttered and their parents humiliated. Palestinians need security as well. Too many innocent Palestinians, including children, have been killed and wounded. This, too, must stop." http://www.counterpunch.org/bahour3.html The mirage of positive movement in the deadly gridlock between Israelis and Palestinians continued today, uninterrupted by reality. Following US President George Bush's footsteps, US Secretary of State Colin Powell, during a major Middle East policy address at the University of Louisville in Kentucky, finally confirmed the addition of the word "Palestine" to the US political lexicon. More significantly, Secretary of State Powell explicitly acknowledged, for the first time ever, that Israel's illegal "occupation" of Palestinian land and people "must end". http://www.counterpunch.org/bahour2.html Kosovo is an ‘extraordinary’ political experiment because the system of ‘dual power’ of an international governing administration alongside a subordinate, domestically-elected administration, which developed in an ad hoc manner in Bosnia-Herzegovina, is here for the first time officially institutionalised. The new framework for a ‘constitution’ of Kosovo, is the first modern political constitution to explicitly rule out democracy. The preamble states that the ‘will of the people’ is to be relegated to just one of many ‘relevant factors’ to be taken into account by the international policy-makers. http://emperors-clothes.com/f.htm Dignitaries from around the world gathered at a Russian tanker port on the Black Sea Tuesday to mark the grand opening of a 900-mile pipeline that has thrown open the door to the vast oilfields of the volatile Caspian Sea region. http://www.vny.com/cf/News/upidetail.cfm?QID=231548 The court of Brussels will start the final stage of the legal proceedings, instituted by a group of the Palestinian and Lebanese citizens against Israeli premier Ariel Sharon. The court is supposed to make a decision regarding the legitimacy of the Israeli premier’s prosecution on the ground of the material, submitted to the court. This material testifies to Sharon's participation in mass murders in the camps of the Palestinian refugees Sabra and Shatila in Lebanon in 1982, ITAR-TASS news agency reported. http://english.pravda.ru/main/2001/11/28/22329.html Last week, Washington partly lifted the veil of secrecy in this delicate issue and named the countries to become, after Afghanistan, likely targets of the anti-terrorist coalition. There are three countries on the blacklist: Yemen, Somalia, and Sudan. http://english.pravda.ru/main/2001/11/28/22264.html The British-backed rebel secessionists, the Sudanese People's Liberation Army (SPLA) reported attacking oil production sites in Bentiu, capital of al-Wihda state, Fariang in Upper Nile state and Fom al-Zaraf in Bahr el-Ghazal state. http://www.aboutsudan.com/democracy/peace_process/spla_attacks_oil_field.htm According to reports now under investigation, Timothy McVeigh, how on trial for the bombing, was in contact with a leading member of the British National Party, just prior to the Oklahoma bombing. He was also in contact with a German national living in a compound on the Oklahoma-Arkansas border, that was run by members of the British Israelite cult, called the Identity Church. The primary icon of the British Israelites is the British queen. Even were it the case that McVeigh was a mere "patsy" for the Oklahoma bombing, the networks surrounding him, just as with the networks surrounding patsy assassin Lee Harvey Oswald are crucial. To be a patsy, you have to be set up to be a patsy. http://www.aboutsudan.com/conferences/schiller_institute/terrorism_speech.htm The U.N. Security Council has lifted sanctions against Sudan, which won U.S. support for lifting the sanctions by providing intelligence on terrorists. Further cooperation will give the United States a vital source of intelligence on terrorist networks and prevent Sudan from again becoming a safe haven for Islamic radicals. But Khartoum's cooperation will require reduced U.S. support for southern rebels, a potential bone of contention in U.S. domestic politics. http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=24790 Haven't we had enough of Israel? The day after the US announced its new Middle East peace initiative, the Israelis bulldozed more Palestinian homes in Gaza and announced the planned construction of new houses for Jewish settlers in the West Bank city of Hebron, thumbing their noses at their American benefactors at a time when the US itself is besieged. http://english.pravda.ru/main/2001/11/28/22193.html On Jan. 25, 1993, Kansi opened fire outside CIA headquarters in Langley, Va., killing two CIA agents and wounding several others. Prosecutors said he was out to avenge the bombing of Iraq and what he thought was American meddling in Muslim countries. http://www.sptimes.com/News/112501/Worldandnation/Terrorists_entered_th.shtml Founded by Alexander the Great in the fourth century before the Christian era, Kandahar is the historic centre of the Pashtun heartland. http://english.pravda.ru/main/2001/11/28/22191.html ===== ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Wherever you see media wrapped around media wrapped around media, you know there's a meme in there somewhere." - Douglas Rushkoff from "Media Virus" http://www.pieman.org/ http://www.webcom.com/%7epinknoiz/covert/seberg.html __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
