How long does it take to become "time immemorial" in the eyes of the members of that lodge? It could be two years or less. It's this ability to pull the wool over our own eyes that bedevils masonic history. The study of masonic history in particular, requires an approach which includes Applied Logic and Social Psychology - two disciplines usually missing in masonic histories, but which I have attempted here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Someone once wrote: ".nothing vexes people so much, and hardens them in their unbelief and in their dogged resistance to reforms, as undeniable facts and unanswerable arguments." This, I feel, applies in particular to much attempted masonic historical writing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This paper is an attempt to outline (no more) a very brief history of Freemasonry, from an obscure starting point, through 1717 A.D. - at the formation of the premier Grand Lodge by four London lodges, at the Goose and Gridiron tavern in the shadow of St Paul's - to the present. It applies particularly to the English Constitution - although the basic history is of interest to all constitutions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As we are trying to avoid "fairy tales" here, it must be pointed out that the insistence by the United Grand Lodge of England that "pure, antient Freemasonry consists of three degrees only.including the Royal Arch." is almost certainly historically inaccurate. Grand Lodges are of course entitled to decide for themselves exactly what their ritual consists of. Thus if the UGLE says it consists of three degrees including the Royal Arch, then they have that right - but I think it is confusing to suggest that their (modern) version is "pure, antient." because this tends to distort the facts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A Question of Definition&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First, let me define what I think "pure, antient" Freemasonry ritual is: It is quite simply the ritual that existed in 1717, when the premier Grand Lodge was formed. Surprisingly, we do have a pretty good idea what that ritual was - it's just that many masonic historians stick their head in the sand and concentrate on an undefined period a few years later, when another degree came into existence. This is an illogical approach. If we accept the date of 1717 as being the start of organized Freemasonry as we know it, then the original ritual must be that which was practiced in 1717. Anything else has to be an addition or innovation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do we have any idea of what this ritual was composed of? Almost certainly yes. The most valuable material here is Knoop, Jones and Hamer's book The Early Masonic Catechisms (1975, edited by Harry Carr). This book is essential reading for anyone interested in the evolution of Craft ritual.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unlike the Old Charges, which seem to have originated as operative "trade union" charters, and which lodges seemed keen to keep as an indication of history, Early Masonic Catechisms concentrates on what are virtually scraps of paper (one is a mere 20cm by 15cm sheet of paper) upon which are written a form of ritual of a catechism (question and answer) nature. These include the Edinburgh Register House MS (1696), the Chetwode Crawley MS (1700) and the Kevan MS (circa 1715). All, you will note, immediately before 1717.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Having studied the above three manuscripts in detail, the authors state: "These three texts are so much alike in minute detail that it is quite certain that they all purport to describe the same procedure."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In fact, these catechisms have far more in common with our ritual than the Old Charges, which lodges seemed to possess to give themselves a patina of age. Now the point about the Old Charges, is that one could make a case for them being a saleable item; if every lodge were supposed to have one, there would have been steady jobs for scribes producing them. Not so the manuscripts mentioned above; they are loose leaves of paper, usually showing many folds and signs of great use, and which were not designed to appeal to anyone. Just like the scribbled bits of ritual masons have made up for centuries - to this day. In other words, there was no need to produce them except for use - which to me makes them pretty genuine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What do they teach?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now the amazing thing about these manuscripts, is that the average mason will find much to relate to: the method of placing the feet; mention of a "prentice" and "fellow-Craft"; the Five Points of Fellowship; the mention of the square, compasses and the Bible in the same context; the porch of Solomon's Temple; the basic penal sign; and of having a part of your body cut out and buried on the beach or thereabouts - there is much to recognize here. This really is beyond coincidence. There's sufficient evidence for it to stand up in a court of law! But only two degrees are mentioned.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The two-degree theory has been accepted for many years. For example take Lionel Vibert's Prestonian Lecture for 1925, titled "The development of the Trigradal System". Early in the lecture, Vibert writes: "By the days of Grand Lodge (1717) this had come to be a system of two degrees only, the Acceptance and the Master's Part." Later he says: "...and by 1730 the trigradal system was definitely established."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More up to date, in his article "Masters Lodges" in the September 1997 issue of the masonic magazine The Square, Yasha Beresiner writes: "Although we have no evidence of the degree work undertaken in Craft lodges before 1730, we know, beyond doubt, that there were only two degrees: that of the Entered Apprentice and Fellow of the Craft (or Master) as the second."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So we have two top masonic historians, with papers separated by over 70 years, agreeing that in 1717 the Craft ritual consisted of only two degrees; most serious historians agree with them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, at this point all the evidence points to the existence of only two degrees in 1717. Also, the early masonic catechisms mentioned, describe significant portions of the ritual as we know it today. Thus it is logical to assume that in 1717, speculative masons worked a two-degree system, along the lines of the masonic catechisms described by Knoop, Jones and Hamer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is of course interesting to speculate where these original two degrees came from. The Edinburgh House MS (1696) was, we know, an old document from the Court of Session, Edinburgh, found in 1808; the Chetwode Crawley (c. 1700) was discovered around 1900 in Ireland; while the Kevan MS (c. 1714) was discovered in 1954, in Scotland.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Looking through The Early Masonic Exposures, it seems likely that the earliest catechisms derive from Scotland, and slowly filtered through the rest of Britain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is a school of thought which suggests that there is a shortage of early English catechisms because they were committed to memory. This is totally illogical; such a system would have meant a great deal of change over the years because of the vagaries of human memory - whereas the amazing thing about the early catechisms mentioned above, is that so much still fits into our current ritual. This could only be achieved by writing the ritual down.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enter a Third&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Serious historians also agree that the third degree was devised or introduced around 1725. It was certainly established by 1730, because it was published in Pritchard's Masonry Dissected on that date, and became the unofficial ritual book of freemasons for decades. This is also virtually the first mention we have of the Hiramic legend. However the storyline itself is mirrored in non-masonic legends down the ages. It's hardly original. But who developed this third degree, how, and why?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The noted Scottish masonic historian Murray Lyon (died 1903), described Desaguliers as the "co-fabricator and pioneer of the system of symbolical masonry." He had a point. Certainly Desaguliers was just about the most influential mason of the period, being Grand Master in 1719, and Deputy Grand Master in 1722 and 1726. This was the period in which the third degree was introduced into the ceremony of the premier Grand Lodge - and logic tells us that Desaguliers, and his masonic friends in the Royal Society, just had to be responsible. Certainly, nothing could have been introduced without their approval.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In fact the Craft changed dramatically while Desaguliers was on the scene. The original Grand Lodge, so far as we can tell, was little more than an annual get-together for a feast or festival. They didn't even keep minutes. The Desaguliers era saw the introduction of the keeping of minutes, an improvement in administration - and the introduction of the third degree.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In fact, a curious set of minutes of Grand Lodge (24 June 1723) tell us that the Duke of Wharton, Grand Master, declined to name his successor, and referred the nomination to the Grand Lodge. Most unusual. This resulted in the nomination of the Rt Hon the Earl of Dalkeith. Dalkeith then stated that in the event of his election, he would nominate Desaguliers as his deputy. Wharton then immediately asked for the Grand Lodge to approve Desaguliers (contrary to regulations). The minutes state: "A division of the (Grand) Lodge was called.there were 43 Ayes in favor of Desaguliers and 42 Noes. Dalkeith was then elected Grand Master - whereupon Wharton declared he had some doubt as to whether the tellers had reported the Desaguliers vote accurately." (Manchester AMR Transactions LXXXIII).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There seems little doubt that almost 50 per cent of those present - not just Wharton - were not in favor of Desaguliers; an indication of distention without doubt. Could this have been because he was "plugging" for a change of direction? People trying to change things are never popular.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How was the third introduced? After all, the slightest alteration in ritual is liable to create hysteria among masons. But remember that these were early days, when the brethren had few lines of communication and were thus ill-informed. I suggest it was introduced as the "revival of the third degree". I say this because almost every degree or order in Masonry is, at the point of origin, declared a "revival". This automatically imparts on the degree/order an artificial veneer of age. Even with the premier Grand Lodge, within a few years "historians" were writing that it was really a revival of an older system. I maintain it would have been easy to introduce a third degree, if it were described as something more ancient that masons had used in the past.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why? That's more difficult. This was around the time the premier Grand Lodge ceremony and outlook started to become de-christianised. The number three is more evocative than two; it may have been no more than that. What is interesting, is that there is a link - King Solomon's Temple is mentioned in the original two-degree system, and of course in the Hiramic legend; although this does not prove a connection.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If the above assumptions are correct, then it means that three-degree Masonry as we know it, derived from two sources. We know that much of our heritage comes from the material mentioned in the two-degree system outlined in The Early Masonic Catechisms because most of it is still in our ritual. But at some point, a group introduced additional material (the third degree) that is unlikely to have had any real historical connection to the early ritual. It seems probable that Desaguliers and his companions introduced this additional material for a specific reason. Why? I suggest that a closer look at Desaguliers and the Royal Society, in this period, might shed some light on the subject.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Degree Explosion&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The point is that it happened - and I contend that it set in motion a chain of events that reverberate to this day. Because from this point, degrees and orders proliferated until, around 1800, there were literally hundreds - possibly a thousand - degrees. It became a sort of fashion. Indeed, many of the other orders that sprung up in the 1700s, such as the Buffaloes, Druids and Oddfellows, still exist to this day. Social psychologists could have a field day here, for if one traces these degrees/orders downwards from their peak, you arrive back at the period in which the premier Grand Lodge introduced the third degree - causing a virtual tidal wave of fashion for such societies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In fact Sandbach, in his Talks for Lodge and Chapter writes: "We have to bear in mind the revolution which the coming of the Hiramic (third) degree must have achieved.What it did was turn Freemasonry into a new path." It did indeed. What it did not do is make it "pure, antient".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And Then There Were Four&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some time around 1730, the ceremony we now know as the Royal Arch was developed. We know little about its origin, except that it was a great favorite with a group of mostly Irish masons who became known as the Antients. Anyone wishing to research the Antients, should read Sadler's Masonic Facts and Fictions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We must bear in mind, again, that the introduction of degrees and orders at this time was starting to become a phenomenon. Most of the degrees that have been passed down to us, or of which we have evidence of the ritual, seem to slot somewhere into a biblical chronology of sorts. They are basically similar in construction.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To my mind the introduction of the Royal Arch could have been something extremely simple: if we accept that the premier Grand Lodge introduced the third degree, in which the word was lost - then the next logical progression would be to find it again: the vault and the Royal Arch.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In fact the storyline was already circulating. In one of his lectures, titled "The Mark and the Royal Arch", the noted historian Wallace McLeod writes, regarding the RA. "Actually the story.comes from the ancient Greek historian Philostorgius of Cappadocia (circa 400 AD) who wrote a History of the Church. Philostorgius tells the following story: The Roman Emperor Julian ordered the Temple at Jerusalem to be rebuilt.when the foundations were being readied, one stone, that had been laid in the bottom of the course was dislodged and revealed a cavern built into the rock.they could not see inside.The overseers wanted to know the truth, so they fastened one of their workmen to a long rope and let him down.feeling around, in the centre he discovered a block of rock projecting.when he put his hand on it he found a scroll. He picked it up and gave a signal to be pulled up.the scroll astonished both Gentiles and Jews, for when it was opened it displayed the words In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;McLeod goes on: ".it (the story) was picked up by the French journalist and writer Louis Travenol. He published it in 1747 in a revelation of the so-called Masonic secrets."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then McLeod adds, in a masterpiece of understatement "This is certainly a tale calculated to raise our eyebrows". Indeed, I can see no other alternative but to assume that the Antients, desperate to keep a Christian influence in Masonry, came upon the Greek story and immediately adopted it to fill in the "loss" described in the new third degree.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An Antient Heritage&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As mentioned, "degree fever" eventually become a social phenomenon of the 1700s. But not with the premier Grand Lodge (called the "Moderns") because they insisted, for over 70 years, that Masonry consisted of three degrees only - and that most certainly did not include the Royal Arch. To take just one example among many, in 1767 Samuel Spencer, Grand Secretary of the premier Grand Lodge, replying to a query about the Royal Arch, wrote: "The Royal Arch is a society which we do not recognize and which we hold to be an invention to introduce innovation and to seduce the brethren."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's almost certain that Spencer himself didn't know the truth when decrying the Royal Arch as an innovation, because the premier Grand Lodge called the Antients "innovators" - when in fact they had lit the fuse themselves with the introduction of the third degree. On the other hand, the Antients - and others - embraced the degree ethic with enthusiasm.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Antients used to open in a "fourth degree" and in this mode worked many other degrees until, around 1800, they had a degree structure of around 26 - and many more optional. We know this from the works of the likes of John Knight, who detailed the degrees and rituals in many hand-written books. It is also recorded that quite a few Moderns lodges used to work many, if not all of the Antient degrees - it is a fact that Knight himself was technically a "Modern" (he was a friend of Dunkerley) even though he worked the Antient structure and even Druid ceremonies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As mentioned, the plethora of degrees and orders that sprung up show an amazing similarity in structure. Many masonic writers have commented that our antient brethren had fertile imaginations; whereas in truth they were virtually devoid of imagination. The format of obligations etc all show signs of emanating from the same source, with the same monotonous regularity. There is rarely any attempt at originality. Even as these other degrees developed, they retained a "traditional" structure. To this day, most of these "outside" degrees are similar in form and are recognizable; even repetitive. Even the orders outside the Craft suffer the same fate. The Gardeners (originated in the 1700s) for example possessed three degrees: the first featured Adam, the second Noah and the third King Solomon. In the Improved Order of Red Men (American), the opening shows the same structure as that of Freemasonry - and this is repeated through all the Red Man degrees.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The fact that most degrees or orders - within and without Freemasonry - are so similar in structure, is further evidence that they were created in a wave of "fashion". They all intimate that there are great secrets to unfold to the dedicated follower; yet none of them have fulfilled their promise - and that includes the "blue" degrees.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An examination of the Antient structure seems to show that it was decidedly chivalric, with a preponderance of "Knight of." degrees. In my opinion it still exists in a reasonably recognizable form in the American York Rite, which seems to contain many of the Antient degrees and orders, with the main exception of the Rose Croix or Rosy Crucian, which now languishes for some reason in the Ancient and Accepted or Scottish Rite. In England many of the remaining degrees are scattered around several other orders, such as the Holy Royal Arch Knight Templar Priests. But this is an avenue we shall go into at some future date.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Such was the success of the Antient structure, that many Moderns lodges performed them, totally disregarding what the premier Grand Lodge said. So much so that in 1766 a group within the Moderns forced through a "Charter of Compact" or separate Royal Arch Grand Chapter. This enabled Moderns lodges to carry out Antient degrees without having to compromise their "three degrees and no more" philosophy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A Time for Compromise&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This Antient structure - from the fourth or Royal Arch onwards - was the main stumbling block towards the union of the Moderns and Antients in England in 1813.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Moderns - the premier Grand Lodge - had for 70 years insisted that Freemasonry consisted "of three degrees only" and of course it would have been a loss of face for them to have accepted any other. The Antients, on the other hand, insisted that the Royal Arch was the very essence of Freemasonry - and of course the key to the highly prized chivalric orders.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the end a "nonsense" compromise was created in Article II of the Act of Union, which said that Freemasonry ".consists of three degrees and no more, viz., those of the Entered Apprentice, the Fellow Craft, and the Master Mason, including the Supreme Order of the Holy Royal Arch." I quite honestly believe that such a ridiculous compromise could only have survived in Freemasonry - in any other organisation it would have been "laughed out of court". But this, it must be emphasized, applies only within the English Constitution so far as I know; and there is no doubt that this bizarre compromise was the only one which could have saved the Union.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, this was not the end of the story, because the political machinations within the premier Grand Lodge were still active. They had literally been forced to accept the Royal Arch, but were determined to go no further. As Sandbach points out in his Talks for Lodge and Chapter: ".if we look at the original statement in the Act of Union, we find that the quotation (.three degrees and no more, including the Royal Arch.) is incomplete, because Article II in fact goes on to say: "But this Article is not intended to prevent any Lodge or Chapter from holding a meeting in any of the Degrees of the Orders of Chivalry according to the constitutions of the said orders." Those words quite clearly gave permission to Lodges and Chapters to confer degrees additional to the three Craft degrees." Yet this has never been allowed by the United Grand Lodge of England - despite the fact that I have seen no evidence to suggest that it was ever rescinded. Why?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is patently obvious that, having fudged a compromise of sorts, the Moderns were determined to sweep aside all those "orders of chivalry" into oblivion. This they did with regard to the Craft; but luckily the Knights Templar and others had by this time developed administrative structures of their own, and mostly survived. But that is another story.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A Precis&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bearing all the above in mind, we are now able to construct a brief example history of Freemasonry. It certainly won't please everyone; but it is a pragmatic reasoning - not one based on fairy stories.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A fairly simple, two-degree masonic ceremony originated in Scotland, and gradually spread throughout England. This was the one in general use in 1717, when the premier Grand Lodge was formed in London.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Around 1725, Desaguliers and others within the premier Grand Lodge, decided that the ceremony needed to be dechristianised - possibly to make it attractive to a wider membership - and they added a third degree.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Several years later another group - termed the Antients - added a fourth (Royal Arch) degree; and in this "mode" also carried out a wide variety of decidedly Christian and chivalric ceremonies. None of these were accepted by the premier Grand Lodge (Moderns).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However the Antient structure proved so popular with many Moderns lodges, that in 1766 the premier Grand Lodge formed a separate Royal Arch Grand Chapter, so that their members could conduct "Antient" degrees without infringing the Craft ceremonies. Indeed, so popular was this "Antient" practice of a multitude of degrees, that there were dozens, perhaps hundreds, created outside Freemasonry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 1813 the two rival English Grand Lodges came together, and achieved the compromise of "fusing" the Antients' Royal Arch onto the Craft third degree - then proceeded to ignore the rest of the Antient degrees.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some Conclusions&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It has to be emphasized again that the 1813 "compromise" applies only to the English Constitution. Everywhere else in the world, it is recognized that the Craft consists of only the three "blue" degrees, without the Royal Arch. However, the rest of the world has also got it wrong, because "pure, ancient" Freemasonry consisted of two degrees only. All the rest is innovation!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What are we to make of the above, on the assumption that it is reasonably correct? The main one is that there is no Grand Design. The first and second degrees almost certainly originated from a different source to that of the third; and the Royal Arch also came from somewhere else. It seems highly likely that the Royal Arch story originated in Greece around 400 AD - and the third degree could well have been adapted from one of many biblical stories.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is important, because there is a general acceptance among masons (even Grand Lodges) that our ceremonies have a fixed, if slightly esoteric, meaning taken as a whole. That our ceremonies have been passed down unaltered through the centuries - and that there is a message, even a great secret, bound up in the complete "parcel". This, obviously, is not the case, because as we can see from the above, the overall picture is derived from several different sources, and the whole structure "just grew" - it really wasn't planned.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What we originally had, has been expanded dramatically over the centuries. It is generally recognized that the three degrees as "exposed" in Pritchard's Masonry Dissected, are a fair representation of the degrees at that time (1730). Just compare them with the three degrees we have now, and it's obvious that something which was originally fairly simple, became repetitive, convoluted, pompous and bloated in the period from 1717 to 1813. We have not - most definitely not - "always done it that way". Bearing in mind the considerable decline in membership of the major masonic countries (USA, Britain, Australia etc) could it be time to get back to basics?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is needed now, is to concentrate on the three distinct divisions of masonic ritual - the first two degrees; the third; and the Royal Arch - and work out the history of each as a separate entity. In that way we may start to unravel the complex structure that is Freemasonry. To attempt to imagine the first, second, third and Royal Arch as an integral whole historically, is inaccurate and will only tend to confuse - unless you prefer fairy tales. &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9231765-110442039252027733?l=ne033x.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ne033x.blogspot.com/feeds/110442039252027733/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9231765&amp;postID=110442039252027733' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9231765/posts/default/110442039252027733'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9231765/posts/default/110442039252027733'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ne033x.blogspot.com/2004/12/pragmatic-masonic-history.html' title='A Pragmatic Masonic History'/><author><name>ne033x</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16152580291069122603</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9231765.post-110442030249877087</id><published>2004-12-30T16:24:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2004-12-30T16:25:02.496+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Crypto AG: The NSA's Trojan Whore?</title><content type='html'>It may be the greatest intelligence scam of the century: For decades, the US has routinely intercepted and deciphered top secret encrypted messages of 120 countries. These nations had bought the world's most sophisticated and supposedly secure commercial encryption technology from Crypto AG, a Swiss company that staked its reputation and the security concerns of its clients on its neutrality.&lt;br /&gt;The purchasing nations, confident that their communications were protected, sent messages from their capitals to embassies, military missions, trade offices, and espionage dens around the world, via telex, radio, teletype, and facsimile. They not only conducted sensitive albeit legal business and diplomacy, but sometimes strayed into criminal matters, issuing orders to assassinate political leaders, bomb commercial buildings, and engage in drug and arms smuggling.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All the while, because of a secret agreement between the National Security Agency (NSA) and Crypto AG, they might as well have been hand delivering the message to Washington. Their Crypto AG machines had been rigged so that when customers used them, the random encryption key could be automatically and clandestinely transmitted with the enciphered message. NSA analysts could read the message traffic as easily as they could the morning newspaper.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The cover shielding the NSA-Crypto AG relationship was torn in March 1992, when the Iranian military counterintelligence service arrested Hans Buehler, Crypto AG's marketing representative in Teheran. The Iranian government charged the tall, 50ish businessman with spying for the "intelligence services of the Federal Republic of Germany and the United States of America." "I was questioned for five hours a day for nine months," Buehler says. "I was never beaten, but I was strapped to wooden benches and told I would be beaten. I was told Crypto was a spy center" that worked with foreign intelligence services.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Despite prolonged interrogation, Buehler - who had worked for Crypto AG for 13 years and was on his 25th trip to Iran - apparently maintained his ignorance. "I didn't know that the equipment was bugged, otherwise the Iranians could have gotten it out of me by their many methods."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With millions of dollars in contracts and a major international spy operation at stake, the company was eager to make the incident and Buehler go away, even though the salesman had brought in 40 percent of Crypto's 100 million Swiss franc sales revenue. Crypto bought Buehler's freedom with a $1 million payment to the Iranians, returned him to Switzerland, and then, astonishingly, fired him and ordered the bewildered salesman to repay the bond.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The cover-up backfired, however, when current and former Crypto employees came to Buehler's defense and shared their first-hand knowledge of manipulated cipher equipment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I hold proofs [sic] of the rigging of code machines," said an unidentified former Crypto AG engineer. "Fifteen years ago, I saw American and German engineers doctoring our machines. It took me some time until I was certain about the manipulations. The proofs: technical documents. ... I put them in a bank safety deposit box. Then I informed the federal prosecutors office in Berne. There were many conversations. Suddenly, these contacts were broken off and the affair petered out."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The engineer told another reporter: the schemes and the cipher keys were created by them [NSA and BND (Bundesnacrichtendienst, the German intelligence service)]. I immediately, discreetly, notified the Swiss prosecutors. There was an investigation. I was never able to find out the result. Today, the Buehler affair brings everything out in the open again. And, I'm afraid. What happened to Hans Buehler could happen to any other salesperson of Crypto AG. It's not a question of attacking this company; it's a question of saving lives....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When the Swiss media began to reveal the background of Buehler's story, Crypto AG responded with a lawsuit in an attempt to quash the story and muzzle Buehler. The suit was settled days before former Crypto engineers were to testify that they thought the machines had been altered. The parties agreed not to disclose the settlement and Crypto sought to reassure its clients. Informed sources in Switzerland and the Middle East confirmed that Crypto AG settled because it, and the NSA and BND, didn't want to reveal anything in court.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nevertheless, the damage to Crypto AG's credibility was already done. Customers from Saddam Hussein to the Pope grew nervous. Informed of the details around the Hans Buehler incident, the Vatican -- which uses Swiss cipher machines to secure diplomatic communications transmitted from the Holy See to the many papal nuncios around the world -- showed a marked lack of charity. An official branded the perpetrators "bandits!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Swiss Cheese Neutrality&lt;br /&gt;Although the Iranians may have been technically wrong about Buehler's complicity in the massive deception, they were right that something was rotten at Crypto AG. And even before the firing of Hans Buehler, some of Cypto's engineers were ambivalent about secret deals with the NSA.&lt;br /&gt;" At first, I was idealistic," said Juerg Spoerndli, who left Crypto in 1994. "But I adapted quickly. ... The new aim was to help Big Brother USA look over these countries' shoulders. We'd say, 'It's better to let the USA see what these dictators are doing.' " Soon, however, Spoerndli grew apprehensive over the manipulation. "It's still an imperialistic approach to the world. I don't think it's the way business should be done." Ruedi Hug, another former Crypto AG engineer, was also critical. "I feel betrayed," he declared. "They always told us, We are the best. Our equipment is not breakable, blah, blah, blah. ... Switzerland is a neutral country. "&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Apparently not. A document released in 1995 by Britain's Public Records Office indicates that Switzerland and NATO concluded a secret deal in 1956.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The "Top Secret" document, dated February 10, 1956, with the reference "prem 11/1224," was written by the famous British World War II figure, Field Marshal Bernard L. Montgomery. While "Monty" was a vice-commander of NATO, he discussed a secret alliance with Swiss Defense Minister Paul Chaudet. In peacetime, Switzerland would be officially neutral, but in wartime, it would side with NATO.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A US document released in 1995 shows Switzerland's importance to US national security. A Presidential directive on national security prepared for President Truman states that "Switzerland ... delivers precision instruments and other materials necessary for the armament of the USA and NATO countries [emphasis added]." Germany's BND, too, has apparently cooperated with the US encryption rigging scheme through Siemens Defense Electronics Group of Munich.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A previous director of Siemens called Crypto AG a "secret Siemens daughter," while a former Crypto AG financial director said, "the owner of the firm [Crypto] is the Federal Republic [of Germany]."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Siemens connection to Crypto was remarkably incestuous. Siemens provided technical assistance for the machine manipulation process. Suspicion about the German electronics giant's role in Crypto's operations was heightened when it was reported that Siemens helped raise the $1 million to spring Buehler from his Teheran prison cell.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In fact, after revelations of the Crypto-Siemens association hit the Swiss press, Crypto's managing director Michael Grupe informed the employees that the advisory board to Crypto's board of directors was being dissolved. The two advisers -- Alfred Nowosad and Helmut Wiesner -- were both full-time Siemens employees. With the world media describing the company as a silent partner of German and American signals intelligence (sigint) agencies around the world, Grube announced that "Crypto is changing its profile."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The German government's contribution to the encryption rigging scheme also included its pressuring another Swiss firm, Gretag Data Systems AG, to allow a "red thread" program to be installed in the encryption software. "Red threading" is the software equivalent of sending in a Greek Trojan horse. Once owned by AT&amp;T, this encryption manufacturer was acquired in 1995 by Information Resources Engineering (IRE), Inc. of Baltimore, Maryland.19 Interestingly, IRE is staffed by a number of ex-NSA cryptographic engineers. A third Swiss encryption company, Info Guard AG, was fully acquired by Crypto AG on June 16, 1994. Info Guard, which had been 50 percent owned by Crypto AG, primarily sells encryption units to banks in Switzerland and abroad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although German and American sigint agencies were involved in manipulating Crypto's cipher machines, Motorola, one of the NSA's major US contractors, performed the actual technical lteration, according to a former Crypto AG chief engineer who was personally involved in the manipulation process.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Crypto Huddle&lt;br /&gt;Once the cipher machines were rigged to include the secret decryption key, the BND and NSA codebreakers could use the transmitted key to read any message sent by Crypto AG's 120 country customers. One previous Crypto AG employee contends that all developmental Crypto AG equipment had to be sent for approval to the NSA and to the German Central Cipher Bureau (Zentralstelle für Chiffrierung [ZfCH]), now the Federal Information Security Agency (Bundesamt für Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik [BSI] which is also Department 62 of the BND) in Bad Godesberg, near Bonn.&lt;br /&gt;In other cases, Crypto AG was apparently forced to market encryption equipment manufactured in the US, sent to Crypto, and passed off as Swiss equipment. In the 1970s, as Crypto was moving from electro-mechanical to computerized crypto units, a former Crypto AG engineer in Switzerland inspected one of the first prototype computerized machines sent from the US. He remarked that since the code could be easily broken, he found the machine useless. But when he told his superiors that he could improve the encryption process if he was given access to the mathematical functions, two US cryptographic "experts" refused to disclose the information.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to a confidential Crypto AG memorandum, one of the NSA "experts" may have been Nora L. Mackabee, an NSA cryptographer who is now retired on a horse farm in Maryland along with her husband Lester, another retired NSA employee. Between August 19 and 20, 1975, three Crypto AG engineers huddled with Mackabee (identified as representing "IA", most likely "intelligence agency") along with three Motorola engineers and one other American, Herb Frank. One Motorola engineer recalled that Frank was probably from another US intelligence agency based in northern Virginia but described him as a non-technical person who seemed to be making the administrative arrangements for Mackabee.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Crypto engineer Juerg Spoerndli, who was responsible for designing the firm's encryption equipment, had heard from older engineers about the visits in earlier years by mysterious Americans. He concluded that NSA was ordering the design changes through German intermediaries. He confirmed the manipulation and admitted that in the late 1970s, he was "ordered to change algorithms under mysterious circumstances" to weaken his cipher units.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Privacy? Ha!&lt;br /&gt;Although the Buehler incident lent credence to the NSA Trojan Horse theory, it was not the first time that suspicions were raised. Teheran had become concerned in 1987 when US official claimed "conclusive evidence that Iran ordered the kidnapping" of ABC News Beirut correspondent Charles Glass. Washington's alleged proof was coded Iranian diplomatic cables intercepted by the NSA between Teheran and the Hezbollah (Party of God) terrorist group in Lebanon via Iran's embassies in Beirut and Damascus.&lt;br /&gt;The next year, when a terrorist bomb brought down PanAm Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, it seems the NSA gained information by intercepting the communications of Iranian Interior Minister Ali Akbar Mohtashemi. It was apparently these messages that implicated Iran, not Libya.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One intelligence summary, prepared by the US Air Force Intelligence Agency, cites Iran's Mohtashemi as the mastermind. Released in redacted form pursuant to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request by lawyers for the bankrupt Pan American Airlines, it states: Mohtashemi is closely connected with the Al Abas and Abu Nidal terrorist groups. He is actually a long-time friend of Abu Nidal. He has recently paid 10 million dollars in cash and gold to these two organizations to carry out terrorist activities and was the one who paid the same amount to bomb PanAm Flight 103 in retaliation for the U.S. shoot-down of the Iranian Airbus. Mohtashemi has also spent time in Lebanon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An Israeli intercept of Iranian diplomatic coded communications between Mohtashemi's Interior Ministry in Teheran and the Iranian embassy in Beirut (where Mohtashemi once served as ambassador) revealed more than two years before Buehler was arrested by Iran that the Shi-ite cleric transferred $1.2 to $2 million used for the bombing of PanAm 103 to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command headed by Ahmed Jibril. Such revelations must have made the Iranians extremely suspect of the security of their diplomatic traffic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The role of Israel may be explained by a little-reported intelligence alliance. NSA maintains a link with the Israeli sigint entity, "Department 8200," located in northern Tel Aviv at Herzliya. The sigint link is said to involve the British Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) base on Cyprus. Israel's ability to crack the Iranian Crypto AG codes indicates that Israel had access to the key decoding programs. The ease with which the West was reading Iranian coded transactions obviously meant that someone in Israel's sigint services possessed the decryption keys.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then in 1992, Buehler was arrested. As the Swiss authorities struggled to put the pieces together, they at first believed that the Iranian secret services were retaliating for the arrest in Switzerland of Zeynold Abedine Sarhadi, an employee of the Iranian embassy in Berne and a nephew of former Iranian President Hashemi Rafsanjani. Swiss police had arrested Sarhadi in early 1992 and were planning to extradite him to France to face trial for the 1991 assassination in Paris of former Iranian Prime Minister Shahpour Bakhtiar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On August 7, 1991, one day before Bakhtiar was found dead with his throat slit, the Teheran headquarters of the Iranian Intelligence Service, vevak, transmitted a coded message to Iranian diplomatic missions in London, Paris, Bonn, and Geneva, inquiring "Is Bakhtiar dead?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Iranians concluded from Western press reports that British and American sigint operators had intercepted and decoded the message (as reported by L'Express of Paris) and knew that Teheran was behind the assassination. They realized that their code had been broken, looked to their Crypto AG cipher machines, and picked up Buehler.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to one European source, they may also have been tipped off by Stasi files of the ex-East German regime that found their way to Iran and revealed the Crypto AG ruse. In any case, the Iranians immediately began grilling prisoner 01228-1 about the role he and his company played in giving Iranian and Libyan codes to the US.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Iran knew that Bakhtiar's assassination had compromised the intelligence functions of the Iranian UN mission and embassy in Geneva. The NSA had already identified one of the assassins, Mohammed Azadi, from intercepts of his phone calls from a pay phone in the town of Annecy in Savoy and an Istanbul apartment to the Iranian diplomatic mission in Geneva.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On December 6, 1994, a special French terrorism court convicted two Iranians of murdering Bakhtiar, but strangely, it acquitted Sarhadi. "Justice has not been entirely served [for] reasons of state," complained Bakhtiar's widow bitterly. Those "reasons" may have included a tacit agreement among France, Switzerland, the German BND, and the NSA to spare Sarhadi in order to avoid producing captured transmissions and preserve the questionable secrecy surrounding the Crypto AG cipher manipulation program. It was not only the "rogue states" that were targeted.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During the sensitive Anglo-Irish negotiations of 1985, the NSA's British counterpart, the GCHQ, was able to decipher the coded diplomatic traffic being sent between the Irish embassy in London and the Irish Foreign Ministry in Dublin. It was reported in the Irish press that Dublin had purchased a cryptographic system from Crypto AG worth more than a million Irish pounds. It was also reported that the NSA routinely monitored and deciphered the Irish diplomatic messages. Later, during the Falklands War, British GCHQ operators were able to decrypt classified Argentine message traffic because the Argentineans were using rigged Crypto AG cipher machines. Former British Foreign Office minister Ted Rowlands publicly stated that GCHQ had penetrated Argentine diplomatic codes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;US: Crypto Bully&lt;br /&gt;If it turns out that the extent of communications interception is as broad as suspected, the international implications are profound. Every country in the world that used secure communications is potentially affected. Some have sought to abandon Crypto AG, but found their options limited.&lt;br /&gt;The US had at times required purchase of specific machines as a condition for favors. Pakistan was allegedly granted American military credits with only one provision, that it buy its encryption equipment from Crypto AG. Additionally, "It is not unheard of for NSA to offer preferential export treatment to a company if it builds a back door into its equipment," says one person with long experience in the field. "I've seen it. I've been in the room."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Several countries abandoned Crypto AG but failed to ensure secrecy. The Libyans switched to Gretag units after the NSA cited secret communications to allege Libyan involvement in the 1986 La Belle disco bombing in West Berlin. One senior US official said the fact that the Libyans were making their codes more difficult to crack would "make our job tougher." But the NSA seemed to have the Gretag base covered as well. According to one knowledgeable cryptographic industry expert, NSA's program to co-opt the services of encryption manufacturrs probably extends to all those within reach of NSA operatives. US cryptographic companies would be definite candidates for such participation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The NSA program also likely extends to companies in NATO and pro-US countries which have close relationships with GCHQ, NSA, and the BND. Even neutral countries_ firms are not off-limits to NSA manipulations. A former Crypto AG employee confirmed that high-level US officials approached neutral European countries and argued that their cooperation was essential to the Cold War struggle against the Soviets. The NSA allegedly received support from cryptographic companies Crypto AG and Gretag AG in Switzerland, Transvertex in Sweden, Nokia in Finland, and even newly-privatized firms in post-Communist Hungary.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 1970, according to a secret German BND intelligence paper, supplied to the author, the Germans planned to "fuse" the operations of three cryptographic firms-Crypto AG, Grattner AG (another Swiss cipher firm), and Ericsson of Sweden. Securocrats often turn to the boogeyman of "rogue" nations in order to justify the expense and ethical necessity of eavesdropping on all forms of international communication, but in reality many intercepts involve messages by neutral or allied nations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;NSA's 1993 release of the World War II era "magic" intercepts under FOIA pressure revealed that US military intelligence read not only messages by Axis nations, but also intercepted and decrypted the top secret communications of Allied and neutral nations. Switzerland was among the more than 30 countries whose messages were being read. Since Swiss-made cipher machines were used by many governments at the time, it is likely that the US has been reading such messages for over half a century. An early example is the use of top secret intercepts by the US delegation to the 1945 founding convention of the United Nations in San Francisco.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fifty years of intercepted communication have given the US and its co-conspirators trade, diplomatic, economic and strategic advantages. By intercepting the "bottom line" negotiating positions of foreign governments, they have been able to shape international treaties and negotiations in their own favor: They will know, for example, the exact health status of the king of Saudi Arabia, the secret financial transactions of the president of Peru, the negotiating position of South Africa's trade delegation to the World Trade Organization, or the anti-abortion strategy of the Pope in the United Nations. Such information, presented daily to the president and the secretary of state in their intelligence briefings, is extremely useful and allows the US to play high-stakes diplomatic poker with a mirror behind everyone else's back. &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9231765-110442030249877087?l=ne033x.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ne033x.blogspot.com/feeds/110442030249877087/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9231765&amp;postID=110442030249877087' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9231765/posts/default/110442030249877087'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9231765/posts/default/110442030249877087'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ne033x.blogspot.com/2004/12/crypto-ag-nsas-trojan-whore.html' title='Crypto AG: The NSA&apos;s Trojan Whore?'/><author><name>ne033x</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16152580291069122603</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9231765.post-110442021425437819</id><published>2004-12-30T16:23:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2004-12-30T16:23:34.253+01:00</updated><title type='text'>CIA Planned To Crash Venezuela President’s Plane</title><content type='html'>CIA Planned To Crash Venezuela President’s Plane&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From: Vheadline.com &amp; SF.indymedia.org&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Venezuelan Military Intelligence says overwhelming evidence the CIA planned to bring down Chavez Frias’ airplane en route to United Nations in New York.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Details behind the sudden decision to cancel President Hugo Chavez Frias’ next-week trip to Washington D.C. and New York (to deliver a speech to the United Nations) are being revealed by security services who say they have "overwhelming evidence" of a CIA-backed plan to "bring down" the Chavez Frias’ airplane during the scheduled flight to the United States from Caracas. Sources in Venezuela’s Military Intelligence Directorate (DIM) have told VHeadline.com that "presented with overwhelming evidence of Washington’s planned attack on the Presidential flight, it was decided that the President’s personal security was preeminent and that he should not go!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;State Security &amp; Political (DISIP) police agents were involved in a gun battle in Plaza Altamira Friday night as they moved to detain a suspect now named as Jorge Rojas Riera, for the Friday morning bombing at the Casa Militar barracks, across Avenida Urdaneta from the Miraflores Presidential Palace. It is reported that President Hugo Chavez Frias was working at his desk when the 1:00 a.m. blast went off but that his life had never been put in danger as many gleeful wire-service reporters had immediately cabled to their North American publishers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reports say that some 60 DISIP and National Guard (GN) officers were able to take the suspect into custody but only after a skirmish with opposition-controlled Chacao municipal police officers and gunmen identified as former army officers who had been dismissed the service after they participated in the April 11, 2002, coup d’etat. Police say Rojas Riera was detained after officers were forced to use an electronic stun gun to capture and ’cuff him. Little is known of the detainee other than that he has been identified having been employed at Plaza Altamira as a "security agent" by opposition organizers ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;meanwhile he has told interrogators that he acted independently in the Friday morning’s grenade attack.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rebel army officer Felix Moreno was reportedly wounded in an exchange of gunfire. Chacao Mayor Leopoldo Lopez says part of the blame has to be laid on DISIP agents who did not identify themselves ... he says they arrived to Plaza Altamira just before midnight and were heavily armed but were not in uniform. "there was a lot of running-around and another gun-battle close to Torre Britanica (south of Avenida Francisco Miranda) in which a DISIP wagon was overturned.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Strong rumors are circulating today that the man arrested had earlier sought political asylum at the Dominican Republic embassy in Caracas but had been asked to return later.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In an Associated Press (AP) dispatch the United States government has said it will open up an investigation into allegations made by Venezuela’s President Hugo Chavez Frias relative to conspiracy to assassinate him. Chavez Frias has said that "terrorist groups" in southern Florida have allied with Miami-based anti-Castro radicals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Amazingly US Ambassador to Venezuela, Charles S. Shapiro says "it is not necessarily a crime ... but we are in the full process of collecting information and we must follow all legal procedures ... if there is anyone to blame, our government knows what to do!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With typical Washington cover-up rhetoric, Shapiro shakily admits that he has received information that "some Venezuelans have been receiving military training in the United States." He further admits that the information was also published in a Miami newspaper a year ago ... but remains remarkably silent as to why no action was taken by proper authorities Stateside. "We’re not going to take action against anybody ... we haven’t been able to make any headway!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;President Chavez Frias was forced to cancel his scheduled trip to the United Nations in New York on September 24 after intelligence agencies revealed a CIA-backed plot against the President’s plane en route to the General Assembly. Chavez asked the United States to investigate his allegations, at the same time reiterating earlier requests that President George W. Bush should stop interfering in Venezuela’s affairs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"They are conspiring against Venezuela in the United States," Chavez Frias said in a national television broadcast ...

As President George W. Bush leads an intense international manhunt for Osama, few Americans realize that Osama's eldest brother, Salem, was one of Bush's first business partners.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A photograph from 1971 has surfaced and been printed in English papers showing Osama, age 14, and his brother Salem, age 19, enjoying a summer holiday at the Astoria Hotel in Falun, Sweden. Christina Akerblad, the hotel owner, told the Daily Mail, "They were beautiful boys, so elegantly dressed. Everybody loved them."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Osama embraced Islamic fundamentalism and is now the world's most wanted man. "Salem went on to become a business partner of the man who is leading the hunt for his brother," the Daily Mail's Peter Allen said. "In the 1970s, he and George W. Bush were founders of the Arbusto Energy oil company in Mr. Bush's home state of Texas."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;President Bush and the bin Laden family have been connected through dubious business deals since 1977, when Salem, the head of the bin Laden family business, one of the biggest construction companies in the world, invested in Bush's start-up oil company, Arbusto Energy, Inc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;James R. Bath, a friend and neighbor, was used to funnel money from Osama bin Laden's brother, Salem bin Laden, to set up George W. Bush in the oil business, according to The Wall Street Journal and other reputable sources.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Through a tangled web of Saudi multi-millionaires, Texas oilmen, and the infamous Bank of Credit and Commerce International, Bush was financially linked with the bin Laden family until Salem met an untimely end in a freak flying accident near San Antonio in 1988.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The infamous BCCI was shut down in 1991 with some $10 billion in losses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In June 1977, George W. Bush formed his own oil drilling company, Arbusto Energy, in Midland, Tex.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Arbusto" actually means "shrub" in Spanish, but the Bush family interpreted it as "bush".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Salem bin Laden, a close friend of the Saudi King Fahd had "invested heavily in Bush's first business venture," according to The Daily Mail (U.K.).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Arbusto later became Bush Exploration, when Bush's father became vice president. As the company neared financial collapse in September 1984, it was merged with Spectrum 7 Energy Corp. in an effort to stay afloat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The 50 investors who propped up the Bush company with $4.7 million were "mainly friends of my uncle" who "did pretty good" in Bush's words, although they lost most of the money they invested in the company. Jon Bush, George's uncle, raised money for Arbusto from political supporters of the Reagan-Bush administration.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"These were all the Bushs' pals," family friend Russell Reynolds told the Dallas Morning News in 1998. "This is the A-Team."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The "A-Team" limited partners contributed $4.67 million to various Bush funds through 1984 but got only $1.55 million back in profit distributions, and $3.9 million in tax write-offs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;William DeWitt and Mercer Reynolds, two staunch Reagan-Bush supporters, owned Spectrum 7.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Despite his poor track record, the owners made Bush president of the company and gave him 13.6 percent of the parent company's stock.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;surprise deal&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As the hard times continued, Spectrum merged with Harken Energy in 1986. In 1990, Harken received a contract from the government of Bahrain to drill for offshore oil although Harken Energy had never drilled a well overseas or anywhere in water.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Knowledgeable oil company sources believe that the Bahrain oil concession was indeed an oblique favor to the president of the United States but say that Saudi Arabia (home of bin Laden) was behind the decision," according to The Outlaw Bank: A Wild Ride Into the Secret Heart of the BCCI, by Jonathan Beaty and S.C. Gwynne.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It raised oil-industry eyebrows when the Persian Gulf state announced it had chosen tiny Harken to explore an offshore site for gas and oil. Bahrain officials said they had no idea President Bush's son was associated with Harken, a claim oil-industry sources ridicule.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Bahrain deal was brokered in part by Arkansas investment banker David Edwards, one of Bill Clinton's closest friends. The Bahrain oil project resulted in two dry holes and Harken energy abandoned the project.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Two months before Iraq invaded Kuwait, on June 20, 1990, the younger Bush sold two-thirds of his Harken stock, 212,140 shares at $4 a share-for a total of $848,560.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"That was $318,430 more than it was worth," Dr. Arthur F. Ide, author of George W. Bush: Portrait of a Compassionate Conservative, said. "George W. broke the law to do this since the transaction was an insider stock sale."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eight days later, Harken finished the second quarter with losses of $23 million and the stock went "into a nosedive" losing 75 percent of its value, finishing the year at a little over $1 a share.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Like his father who made his fortune in the oil business with the money of others, George W. founded Arbusto with the financial backing of investors, including James R. Bath," said the late James Howard Hatfield, author of a "controversial biography," Fortunate Son: George W. Bush and the Mak ing of an American President.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hatfield, 43, was found dead of an apparent prescription drug overdose in a hotel room in Springdale, Ark. on July 18, 2001. Police declined to investigate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bath became friends with George W. during their days together in the Texas Air National Guard. Bath "confided that he was an original investor in George Bush Jr.'s oil exploration company," according to The Outlaw Bank.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bath found investors for Arbusto and "made his fortune" by investing the money of two BCCI-connected Saudi sheiks, Khalid bin Mahfouz and Salem bin Laden. Mahfouz was one of the richest men in the world and a controlling shareholder in BCCI.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bill White, a former real estate business partner of Bath, said: "He had put up $50,000 to help George, Jr., get started in oil business" at a time when "Bath had no substantial money of his own," according to The Outlaw Bank.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bath received a 5 percent interest in two Arbusto-related limited partnerships controlled by Bush, although Bush told The Houston Post in 1990 that he had "never done any business" with Bath. However, Bush said Bath was "a lot of fun."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bath told White that he was in the CIA and that "he had been recruited by George Bush himself in 1976 when Bush was director of the agency . . . he said Bush wanted him involved with the Arabs, and to get into the aviation business."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;White contends that the Saudis were using Bath and their huge financial resources to influence U.S. policy during the Reagan and Bush administrations, according to the Houston Chronicle of June 4, 1992. Such representation by Bath would require that he be registered as a foreign agent with the Department of Justice, which he was not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Shortly after Bush's father was appointed director of the CIA, Salem bin Laden appointed Bath as his business representative in Texas. According to The Houston Chronicle, Salem bin Laden, heir to one of the largest building companies in the Middle East, signed a trust agreement appointing Bath as his Houston representative in 1976.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 1978 Bath purchased Houston Gulf Airport on behalf of Salem bin Laden. When bin Laden died in 1988, his interest in the airfield passed to bin Mahfouz.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There was also a political aspect to Salem bin Laden's financial activities, which played a role in U.S. operations in the Middle East and Central America during the 1980s, according to Public Broadcasting's Frontline report.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As head of Binladen Brothers Construction (now the Binladen Group), a company that later helped build U.S. airfields during Operation Desert Storm, bin Laden was close to King Fahd of Saudi Arabia and "a good friend of the U.S. government," a San Antonio attorney, Wayne Fagan, who represented Salem bin Laden from 1982 to 1988, told the San Antonio Express-News.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When the family patriarch, Sheik Mohammed bin Laden, died in 1968, he left an industrial and financial empire and a progeny of 54 sons and daughters, the fruit of a number of wives. In 1972, Salem bin Laden, the oldest son, took over the estate as his father's successor, with the assistance of several brothers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With over 40,000 employees, the Bin Laden Group is represented in the major cities of Saudi Arabia and the Arab capitals of Beirut, Cairo, Amman, and Dubai. The company builds highways, housing units, factories, hangars, and military bases, some of which are part of the U.S.-Saudi "Peace Shield" agreement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The story of the Bush involvement with bin Laden and the BCCI scandal involves "trails that branched, crossed one another, or came to unexpected dead ends," according to The Outlaw Bank.&lt;br /&gt;FREAK ACCIDENT&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Salem bin Laden came to an "unexpected dead end" in a Texas pasture, 11 years after investing in Arbusto, when the ultralight aircraft he was flying crashed into power lines near San Antonio on Memorial Day, 1988.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the morning of May 29, 1988, almost immediately after takeoff, Salem bin Laden's aircraft struck and became entangled in power lines 150 feet high before plunging to the ground.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"He was a very experienced pilot. He was a good pilot. We just can't understand why he decided to go right instead of left," recalled airstrip owner and former Marine Earl May field, who cradled bin Laden, bleeding from the ears.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That day, bin Laden took off in a southeasterly direction into the wind. He surprised onlookers by turning west to ward power lines less than a quarter-mile away.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Nobody could figure out why he tried to fly over the power lines," said Gerry Auerbach, 77, of New Braunfels, a retired pilot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bin Laden had more than 15,000 hours of flight experience.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The police report concluded "freak accident." &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9231765-110441982158347564?l=ne033x.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ne033x.blogspot.com/feeds/110441982158347564/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9231765&amp;postID=110441982158347564' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9231765/posts/default/110441982158347564'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9231765/posts/default/110441982158347564'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ne033x.blogspot.com/2004/12/bush-bin-laden.html' title='Bush &amp; Bin Laden'/><author><name>ne033x</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16152580291069122603</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9231765.post-110441970513503905</id><published>2004-12-30T16:14:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2004-12-30T16:15:05.136+01:00</updated><title type='text'>World History: Plan or Accident?</title><content type='html'>Will we get another failed Democratic administration? A scandal as disgraceful as Nixon's fall? When Robert P. Johnson (William Barr) told Clinton in a bunker in Arkansas that "you are our fair-haired boy, but you do have competition for the job you seek. We would never put all our eggs in one basket. You and your state have been our greatest asset.... Mr. Casey wanted me to pass on to you, that unless you fuck up and do something stupid, you are number one on our short list for shot at the job you always wanted."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, you have William Casey -- CIA Director, George Bush's campaign manager and Sovereign Knight of Malta -- speaking through the proxy of George Bush's last Attorney General to George's rival in the 1992 federal elections. Is it all just a show and sham for U.S. hoi polloi?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perhaps so, if there exists the type of control over the electoral process as told by Mae Brussell and the suppressed book "VoteScam," written by Jim and Ken Collier:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"...Your vote and mine may now be a meaningless bit of energy directed by preprogrammed computers-which can be fixed to select certain pre-ordained candidates and leave no footprints or paper trail.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"In short, computers are covertly stealing your vote.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"--For almost three decades the American vote has been subject to government-sponsored electronic theft.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"--The vote has been stolen from you by a cartel of federal "national security" bureaucrats, who include higher-ups in the Central Intelligence Agency, political party leaders, Congressmen, co-opted journalists -- and the owners and managers -- of the major Establishment news media, who have decided in concert that how America's votes are counted, by whom they are counted and how the results are verified and delivered to the public is, as one of them put it, 'Not a proper area of inquiry.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"--By means of an unofficial private corporation named News Election Service (NES), the Establishment press has actual physical control of the counting and dissemination of the vote, and it refuses to let the public know how it is done."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is the American electorate subjected to cyclic propaganda, pre-selected candidates and winners, and psychological warfare to alienate Americans from the institutions established to serve them by the Constitution? Are the Democratic and Republican National Parties used for a Hegellian experiment in controlled conflict?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pamela Churchill Harriman, Averil's wife, is one of the Democratic Party's biggest fund-raisers. She once gave Bill a job as director of her "PAM PAC" when he was defeated for governor in 1980. Bill paid her back by appointing her as Ambassador to France.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another Harriman/Bush friend, Eugene Stetson ('34), was an assistant manager for Prescott Bush at Brown Brothers, Harriman's New York office. He organized the H. Smith Richardson Foundation. The foundation, in the late 1950s, participated in the MKULTRA, the CIA's domestic covert psychological warfare operation. The Richardson Foundation helped to finance the testing of psychotropic drugs, including LSD, at Bridgewater Hospital in Massachusetts, the center of some of the most brutal MK-ULTRA experiments.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During the Iran-Contra operations, the H. Smith Richardson Foundation was a "private donors steering committee," working with the National Security Council to co-ordinate the Office of Public Diplomacy. This was an effort to propagandize in favor of and run cover for the Iran-Contra operations, and to coordinate published attacks on opponents of the program.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The H. Smith Richardson Foundation also runs the Center for Creative Leadership at Langley to "train leaders of the CIA," as well as another center near Greensboro, North Carolina, that trains CIA and Secret Service Agents. Almost everyone who achieves the military rank of general also gets this training.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is just the tip of an iceberg. You also have eugenics and population control, suppressed history and technology, yearly retreats, profitable partnerships with brutal dictators, deals with "terrorists", the involvement of the Knights of Malta, war-mongering and profiteering, mind-control, secret societies for teens, ritual magic and more -- all spinning the dark threads in the web of conspiracy that our spinning blue ball has gotten caught in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We've got a whole new crop of "Bonesmen" coming up, including George H.W. Bush's son George W. Bush ('68), Governor of Texas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When Don Schollander ('68), the Olympic gold-medalist and only known Skull and Bones member living in Portland, was contacted by Willamette Week reporter John Schrang regarding his involvement in the Order, he said, "It's really something I can't talk about."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not wouldn't, but "couldn't".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In wake of Antony Sutton's first ground-breaking exposes of the Order, the Sterling Library at Yale has refused to allow any other researchers access to the Russell Trust papers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Daniel Gilman, like most Bonesmen, makes no mention of Skull &amp; Bones or the Russell Trust in his memoirs or biographies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, are we all just 'fodder" for a secret society with satanic overtones that is attempting to form a one world government with themselves at the helm? Or is the Order of Skull and Bones just a bunch of frat boys from Yale? Wanna bet your future on it? &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9231765-110441970513503905?l=ne033x.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ne033x.blogspot.com/feeds/110441970513503905/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9231765&amp;postID=110441970513503905' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9231765/posts/default/110441970513503905'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9231765/posts/default/110441970513503905'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ne033x.blogspot.com/2004/12/world-history-plan-or-accident.html' title='World History: Plan or Accident?'/><author><name>ne033x</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16152580291069122603</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9231765.post-110441966672578597</id><published>2004-12-30T16:14:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2004-12-30T16:14:26.726+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Skull &amp; Bones = Illuminati?</title><content type='html'>Is the Order of the Skull &amp; Bones part of the Illuminati?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When a person is initiated into Skull &amp; Bones, they are given a new name, similar to the practice of the Illuminati. And many recorded Illuminati members can be shown to have contact and/or strong influences with many of the professors that taught "Bonesmen" in Berlin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When a secret society conspires against the sovereignty of a king, they need to organize, raise funds, make their plans operational, and hopefully bring them to fruition.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Could we have in the United States a secret society that has used the "National Security State" as a cover for their nefarious plans?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From "George Bush: The Unauthorized Biography":&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"That September [1951], Robert Lovett replaced Marshall as secretary of defense. Meanwhile, Harriman was named director of the Mutual Security Agency, making him the U.S. chief of the Anglo-American military alliance. By now, Brown Brothers, Harriman was everything but commander-in-chief.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"A central focus of the Harriman security regime in Washington (1950-53) was the organization of covert operations and 'psychological warfare.' Harriman, together with his lawyers and business partners, Allen and John Foster Dulles, wanted the government's secret services to conduct extensive propaganda campaigns and mass-psychology experiments within the U.S.A., and paramilitary campaigns abroad....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The Harriman security regime created the Psychological Strategy Board (PSB) in 1951. The man appointed director of the PSB [was] Gordon Gray.... Gordon's brother, R.J. Reynolds chairman Bowman Gray Jr., was also a naval intelligence officer, known around Washington as the 'founder of operational intelligence.' Gordon Gray became a close friend and political ally of Prescott Bush; and Gray's son became for Prescott's son, George, his lawyer and the shield of his covert policy."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So you have the Whitney/Stimson/Bundy clan and the Harriman/Bush boys wielding a tremendous amount of influence on the political, economic and social affairs of America and the world. Then you have Prescott Bush's buddy Richard Nixon as an activist vice-president. Then, a nation-chilling assassination, some time under LBJ with the Bundy boys keeping things in line, then Nixon as President with "Bonesmen" aides Ray Price ('51) and Richard A. Moore. Some time out for a Trilateralist-Democrat-patsy president, followed by Prescott's son as an activist vice-president under Reagan. Next, we get a Skull and Bones president who declares a "New World Order" while beating up on his business partner, Saddam Hussein.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After twelve years of Republican administrations, Bush passes the reins to his drug smuggling buddy from Arkansas, Bill Clinton, who studied at Yale Law School. According to some researchers, Clinton was recruited as a CIA operative while a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford.

And, by the simplest means, we shall set all in motion and in flames. The occupations must be so allotted and contrived that we may, in secret, influence all political transactions."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is disagreement among scholars as to whether or not the Illuminati survived its banishment. Nevertheless, the group had been quite successful in attracting members and had allied itself with the extensive Masonic networks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Illuminati was publicly founded May 1, 1776 at the University of Ingolstadt by Weishaupt, Professor of Canon Law. It was a very "learned" society; Weishaupt drew the earliest members of his new order from among his students.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On December 5, 1776, students at William and Mary College founded a secret society, Phi Beta Kappa. A second chapter was formed, at Yale, in 1780. The anti-Masonic movement in the United States during the 1820s held groups such as Phi Beta Kappa in a bad light. Because of pressure, the society went public. This is noted by some researchers as the direct cause of the appearance of Yale's Order of Skull and Bones.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In "The Cyclopedia Of Fraternities", a genealogical chart of general Greek-Letter college fraternities in the United States, shows Phi Beta Kappa as "the parent of all the fraternal systems in [American] higher education." There is only one "side" lineal descendant: the Yale chapter of 1780. The line then continues to Skull and Bones in 1832, and on through the other "only at Yale" senior societies, Scroll &amp; Key and Wolf's Head.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Phi Beta Kappa is the "first three Greek letters, for 'Philosophia Biou Kubernetes' or 'Love of wisdom, the helmsman of life'." A skull homophone is scull, a quick, gliding boat and part of Skull &amp; Bones first nomenclature.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;John Robison, a professor of natural philosophy at Edinburgh University in Scotland and a member of a Freemason Lodge, said that he was asked to join the Illuminati. After study, he concluded the purposes of the Illuminati were not for him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 1798, he published a book called "Proofs Of A Conspiracy":&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"An association has been formed for the express purpose of rooting out all the religious establishments and overturning all the existing governments.... the leaders would rule the World with uncontrollable power, while all the rest would be employed as tools of the ambition of their unknown superiors."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Proofs of A Conspiracy" was sent to George Washington. Responding to the sender of the book with a letter, the president said he was aware the Illuminati were in America. He felt that the Illuminati had "diabolical tenets" and that their object was "a separation of the People from their government."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In "Proofs Of A Conspiracy", Robison printed the ceremony of initiation of the "Regent degree" in Illuminism. In it "a skeleton is pointed out to him [the initiate], at the feet of which are laid a crown and a sword. He is asked 'whether that is the skeleton of a king, nobleman or a beggar.' As he cannot decide, the president of the meeting says to him, 'The character of being a man is the only one that is importance'".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is, essentially, the same as the writing in the Skull &amp; Bones "tomb":&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Wer war der Thor, wer Weiser, Bettler oder Kaiser? Ob Arm, ob Reich, im Tode gleich."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Which reads:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Who was the fool, who the wise man, beggar or king? Whether poor or rich, all's the same in death." &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9231765-110441962269928381?l=ne033x.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ne033x.blogspot.com/feeds/110441962269928381/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9231765&amp;postID=110441962269928381' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9231765/posts/default/110441962269928381'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9231765/posts/default/110441962269928381'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ne033x.blogspot.com/2004/12/illuminati-subverting-body-politic.html' title='The Illuminati: Subverting the Body Politic'/><author><name>ne033x</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16152580291069122603</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9231765.post-110441956101562910</id><published>2004-12-30T16:12:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2004-12-30T16:12:41.016+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Motives for the Conspiracy</title><content type='html'>So, why would an intelligence agency/secret society want to smuggle drugs and assassinate JFK?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, they make a lot of money, and they garner intelligence assets through their participation. There's also the rationale that the world is a seamy and unseemly place, and if you're going to be the 'big boy' on the block, you better know what's going on. And what better way of knowing than by running it yourself? There are also some who theorize that the covert drug trade fits with plans to destabilize American families and society. Through demoralizing and fracturing the body politic, they can impose their will using psychological warfare and the political alchemy of the Hegellian dialectic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;James Shelby Downard's article, "Sorcery, Sex, Assassination and the Science of Symbolism ," an underground classic, links American historical events with a wild, numerological, grand occult plan "to turn us into cybernetic mystery zombies". The assassination of JFK, this article contends, was the performance of a public occult ritual called The Killing of the King, designed as a mass-trauma, mind-control assault against our U.S. national body-politic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During Operation Sunrise, Operation Blowback, Operation Paperclip and others, thousands of Nazi scientists, researchers and administrators were brought to the United States after World War II. Many were "smuggled" into the country against direct, written, orders from President Harry S. Truman.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Project Monarch was the resumption of a mind-control project called Marionette Programming, which started in Nazi Germany. The basic component of the Monarch Program is the sophisticated manipulation of the mind, using extreme trauma to induce Multiple Personality Disorder.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mr. Downward feels that the perpetrators purposefully murdered JFK in such a way as to affect our National identity and cohesiveness -- to fracture America's soul. Even the blatancy of their conspiracy was designed to show "their superiority" and "our futility".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There have been studies that show a correlation between the JFK assassination and the rise in violence in society, distrust of government and other extensions of social ills. &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9231765-110441956101562910?l=ne033x.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ne033x.blogspot.com/feeds/110441956101562910/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9231765&amp;postID=110441956101562910' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9231765/posts/default/110441956101562910'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9231765/posts/default/110441956101562910'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ne033x.blogspot.com/2004/12/motives-for-conspiracy.html' title='Motives for the Conspiracy'/><author><name>ne033x</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16152580291069122603</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9231765.post-110441950108755581</id><published>2004-12-30T16:11:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2004-12-30T16:11:41.086+01:00</updated><title type='text'>George Bush, Skull &amp; Bones and the JFK Assassination</title><content type='html'>Rodney Stich's book "Defrauding America" tells of a "deep-cover CIA officer" assigned to a counter-intelligence unit, code-named Pegasus. This unit "had tape-recordings of plans to assassinate Kennedy" from a tap on the phone of J. Edgar Hoover. The people on the tapes were "[Nelson] Rockefeller, Allen Dulles, [Lyndon] Johnson of Texas, George Bush and J. Edgar Hoover."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Could George Bush be involved in the JFK assassination?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 1963, Bush was living in Houston, busily carrying out his duties as president of the Zapata Offshore oil company. He denied the existence of a note sent by the FBI's J. Edgar Hoover to "Mr. George Bush of the CIA." When news of the note surfaced, the CIA first said they never commented on employment questions, but later relented said yes, a "George Bush" was mentioned in the note, but that it was "another" George Bush, not the man who took office in the White House in 1988.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some intrepid reporters tracked down the "other" George Bush and discovered that he was just a lowly clerk who had shuffled papers for the CIA for about six months. He never received any interagency messages from anybody at the FBI, let alone the Queen Mary.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is also worth noting that a CIA code word for Bay of Pigs was Operation Zapata, and that two of the support vessels were named Barbara and Houston.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many say that George Bush was high up on the CIA ladder at the time, running proprietorial vehicles and placed in a position of command, responsible for many of the Cubans recruited into "service" at the time. All through the Iran-Contra affair, Felix Rodriguez, the man who captured and had Che Guevara killed for the CIA, always seemed to call Bush's office first.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From The Realist (Summer, 1991):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Bush was working with the now-famous CIA agent, Felix Rodriguez, recruiting right-wing Cuban exiles for the invasion of Cuba. It was Bush's CIA job to organize the Cuban community in Miami for the invasion.... A newly discovered FBI document reveals that George Bush was directly involved in the 1963 murder of President John Kennedy. The document places marksmen by the CIA. Bush at that time lived in Texas. Hopping from Houston to Miami weekly, Bush spent 1960 and '61 recruiting Cubans in Miami for the invasion....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"George Bush claims he never worked for the CIA until he was appointed Director by former Warren Commission director and then president Jerry Ford in 1976. Logic suggests that is highly unlikely. Of course, Bush has a company duty to deny being in the CIA. The CIA is a secret organization. No one ever admits to being a member. The truth is that Bush has been a top CIA official since before the 1961 invasion of Cuba, working with Felix Rodriguez. Bush may deny his actual role in the CIA in 1959, but there are records in the Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba that expose Bush's role..."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the Watergate tapes, June 23, 1972, referred to in the media as the 'smoking gun' conversation, Nixon and his Chief of Staff, H.R. Haldeman, were discussing how to stop the FBI investigation into the CIA Watergate burglary. They were worried that the investigation would expose their connection to 'the Bay of Pigs thing.' Haldeman, in his book "The Ends of Power", reveals that Nixon always used code words when talking about the 1963 murder of JFK. Haldeman said Nixon would always refer to the assassination as 'the Bay of Pigs'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On that transcript we find Nixon discussing the role of George Bush's partner, Robert Mosbacher, as one of the Texas fundraisers for Nixon. On the tapes Nixon keeps referring to the 'Cubans' and the 'Texans.' The 'Texans' were Bush, Mosbacher and Baker. This is another direct link between Bush and evidence linking Nixon and Bush to the Kennedy assassination." &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9231765-110441950108755581?l=ne033x.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ne033x.blogspot.com/feeds/110441950108755581/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9231765&amp;postID=110441950108755581' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9231765/posts/default/110441950108755581'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9231765/posts/default/110441950108755581'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ne033x.blogspot.com/2004/12/george-bush-skull-bones-and-jfk.html' title='George Bush, Skull &amp; Bones and the JFK Assassination'/><author><name>ne033x</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16152580291069122603</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9231765.post-110441945883719365</id><published>2004-12-30T16:10:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2004-12-30T16:10:58.836+01:00</updated><title type='text'>The War on Drugs: An "Intellectual Fraud"</title><content type='html'>Before the Vietnam "War", the Golden Triangle was run by French Intelligence and Corsican mobsters. After the French bailed out and America moved in, the triangle was run by U.S. intelligence, with aid from Sicilian mobsters. This narcotics network is well documented in "The Politics of Heroin in S. E. Asia" by Alfred McCoy, "The Great Heroin Coup" by Henrik Kruger and "Double-Cross" by Sam and Chuck Giancana.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vice-President George Bush, as Chairman of President Reagan's cabinet-level working group and as Director of the National Narcotics Interdiction System, was the highest U. S. governmental official involved in the "war on drugs".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Frances Mullen, Jr., former head of the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), called Bush's efforts "an intellectual fraud" and "a liability rather than an asset". Soon after these statements, Mullen resigned and the resultant General Accounting Office (GAO) report was buried.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In July, 1985, the suppressed GAO paper reported that there were "no benefits from the National Narcotics Border Interdiction System, directed by George Bush. In fact, the overall effect was to encourage supply...."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Monika Jensen-Stevenson, a "60 Minutes" producer, quit her job after the CBS news program refused to air the story she had uncovered relating to the covert drug trade. Her book, "Kiss The Boys Goodbye", details how our intelligence community used the apparatus of the POW/MIA governmental agencies as a cover for the trafficking of opiates from the "Golden Triangle".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;President Reagan appointed Reform Party founder and Texas billionaire Ross Perot to the President's Advisory Council on Foreign Intelligence. Reagan made Perot a special presidential investigator, looking into America's POW and MIAs from the Vietnam "War".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ross took the job to heart and spent considerable time and money in pursuit of the quest. He was given special clearance and access. He asked questions and interviewed everyone he could find.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From "Kiss The Boys Goodbye":&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Relations between Bush and Perot had gone downhill ever since the Vice-President had asked Ross Perot how his POW/MIA investigations were going.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'Well, George, I go in looking for prisoners,' said Perot, 'but I spend all my time discovering the government has been moving drugs around the world and is involved in illegal arms deals.... I can't get at the prisoners because of the corruption among our own people.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"This ended Perot's official access to the highly classified files as a one-man presidential investigator. 'I have been instructed to cease and desist,' he had informed the families of missing men early in 1987."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The wholesale importation of cocaine into the U.S. during "Iran/Contra" is also well documented. George Bush, is known "to be in the loop" with many of the players keeping in contact directly with his office.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, there has been much speculation as to the use of the off-shore rigs, pipelines and other assets of Zapata Offshore being used for narcotic trans-shipments.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Narcotics such as cocaine and heroin cannot be manufactured without the precursor chemicals. One of the largest makers of these precursor chemicals is the Eli Lilly Company of Indianapolis, Indiana. The Quayle family is a large stockholder, and George Bush has been on the Board of Directors. Eli Lilly is also the company that first synthesized LSD for the CIA. &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9231765-110441945883719365?l=ne033x.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ne033x.blogspot.com/feeds/110441945883719365/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9231765&amp;postID=110441945883719365' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9231765/posts/default/110441945883719365'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9231765/posts/default/110441945883719365'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ne033x.blogspot.com/2004/12/war-on-drugs-intellectual-fraud.html' title='The War on Drugs: An &quot;Intellectual Fraud&quot;'/><author><name>ne033x</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16152580291069122603</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9231765.post-110441941673675052</id><published>2004-12-30T16:09:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2004-12-30T16:10:16.736+01:00</updated><title type='text'>China and the Opium Wars</title><content type='html'>Why all this interest in China? Well, China, among other things, is one of the largest producers and users of opiates in the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For a while, in the 1800s, the Yankee Clippers in Connecticut and Massachusetts were the fastest ships on the ocean. Speed was crucial to the opium trade; whoever made the trip from Turkey/India to Macao/Hong Kong/Shanghai first got the most for their goods.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During the Opium Wars, the U.S. chose to stand on the sidelines and cheer for the English and French, knowing that treaty obligations would bring the U.S. a share in the spoils. Russell and Company was at times the only trading house operating in Canton and used the opportunity to developed strong commercial ties and handsome profits.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Powerful national interests were behind the drug trade, because American traders were badly in need of some article the Chinese would buy, since by this time the seal breeding grounds had been nearly wiped out. If the Chinese had not bought opium from Americans, then United States imports of silk, porcelain and tea would have to paid in precious coin, which was in short supply. In 1843, when the Port of Shanghai was opened, Russell and Co. was one of its earliest traders.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 1903, Yale Divinity School set up a program of schools and hospitals in China. Mao Zedong was among the staff. During the intrigues of China in the 1930s and '40s, American intelligence called upon the resources of "Yale in China", and George Bush's cousin and fellow "Bonesman" Reuben Holden.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After stints as UN Ambassador and Chairman of the Republican National Committee for the beleaguered Richard Nixon, George Bush was sent to look after the "China trade". The Bush family is still very much involved in the economic activities of "Red" China.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many researchers contend that George Bush has been with CIA since the early 1950s, and that one of his jobs was to consolidate and co-ordinate the worldwide narcotics industry, the largest industry on Earth. Some say that one of the reasons behind the Vietnam "Police Action" was a cover for the consolidation of the "Golden Triangle". &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9231765-110441941673675052?l=ne033x.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ne033x.blogspot.com/feeds/110441941673675052/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9231765&amp;postID=110441941673675052' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9231765/posts/default/110441941673675052'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9231765/posts/default/110441941673675052'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ne033x.blogspot.com/2004/12/china-and-opium-wars.html' title='China and the Opium Wars'/><author><name>ne033x</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16152580291069122603</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9231765.post-110441935737212137</id><published>2004-12-30T16:08:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2004-12-30T16:09:17.373+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Name Roster of the Secret Establishment</title><content type='html'>There were so many "Yalies" in the OSS that Yale's drinking tune, the "Whiffenpoof Song", became an "unofficial" song of the OSS. Many in the OSS were "Bonesmen" or belonged to the other Yale senior societies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Robert Lovett ('18), Harriman's childhood friend, had been tapped into Skull &amp; Bones by Prescott Bush's cell of '17 and was a director at Brown Brothers, Harriman.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Again, from "George Bush: The Unauthorized Biography":&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"On October 22, 1945, Secretary of War Robert Patterson created the Lovett Committee, chaired by Robert A. Lovett, to advise the government on the post-World War II organization of U.S. intelligence activities.... The new agency would 'consult' with the armed forces, but it must be the sole collecting agency in the field of foreign espionage and counterespionage. The new agency should have an independent budget, and its appropriations should be granted by Congress without public hearings. Lovett appeared before the Secretaries of State, War, and Navy on November 14, 1945.... Lovett pressed for a virtual resumption of the wartime Office of Strategic Services (OSS).... The CIA was established in 1947 according to the prescription of Robert Lovett, of Jupiter Island."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gaddis Smith, a history professor at Yale, said, "Yale has influenced the Central Intelligence Agency more than any other university, giving the CIA the atmosphere of a class reunion." And "Bonesman" have been foremost among the "spooks" building the CIA's "haunted house."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;F. Trubee Davison ('18) was Director of Personnel at the CIA in the early years. Some of the other "Bonesmen" connected with the intelligence community are:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sloane Coffin, Jr. ('49)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;V. Van Dine ('49)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;James Buckley ('44)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bill Buckley ('50)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hugh Cunnigham ('34)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hugh Wilson ('09)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reuben Holden ('40)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Charles R.

Bush tapped Coffin, who tapped Buckley.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some other prominent Bonesmen include:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Henry Luce ('20), Time-Life&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;John Thomas Daniels ('14), founder Archer Daniels Midland&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gifford Pinchot ('89), President Theodore Roosevelt's chief forester&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Frederick E.

C. Whitney ('63), who married Flora Payne (of the Standard Oil Payne dynasty), was Secretary of the Navy. His attorney was a man named Elihu Root. Root hired Henry Stimson ('88), out of law school. Stimson took over from Root as Secretary of War in 1911, appointed by fellow Bonesman William Howard Taft. Stimson later became Coolidge's Governor-General of the Philippine Islands, Hoover's Secretary of State, and Secretary of War during the Roosevelt and Truman administrations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hollister Bundy ('09) was Stimson's special assistant and point man in the Pentagon for the Manhattan Project. His two sons, also members of Skull and Bones, were William Bundy ('39) and McGeorge Bundy ('40) -- both very active in governmental and foundation affairs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The two brothers, from their positions in the CIA, the Department of Defense and the State Department, and as Special Assistants to Presidents Kennedy and Johnson, exercised significant impact on the flow of information and intelligence during the Vietnam "War."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;William Bundy went on to be editor of Foreign Affairs, the influential quarterly of the Council on Foreign Affairs (CFR). McGeorge became president of the Ford Foundation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another interesting group of "Bonesmen" is the Harriman/Bush crowd. Averil Harriman ('13), "Elder Statesman" of the Democratic Party, and his brother Roland Harriman ('17) were very active members. In fact, four of Roland's fellow "Bonesmen" from the class of 1917 were directors of Brown Brothers, Harriman, including Prescott Bush ('17), George Bush's dad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since the turn of the century, two investment bank firms -- Guaranty Trust and Brown Brothers, Harriman -- were both dominated by members of Skull and Bones. These two firms were heavily involved in the financing of Communism and Hitler's regime.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bonesman share an affinity for the Hegellian ideas of the historical dialectic, which dictates the use of controlled conflict -- thesis versus anti-thesis -- to create a pre-determined synthesis. A synthesis of their making and design, where the state is absolute and individuals are granted their freedoms based on their obedience to the state -- a New World Order.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Funding and political maneuvering on the part of "Bonesmen" and their allies helped the Bolsheviks prevail in Russia. In defiance of federal laws, the cabal financed industries, established banks and developed oil and mineral deposits in the fledgling U.S.S.R.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Later, Averil Harriman, as minister to Great Britain in charge of Lend-Lease for Britain and Russia, was responsible for shipping entire factories into Russia. According to some researchers, Harriman also oversaw the transfer of nuclear secrets, plutonium and U. S. dollar printing plates to the U.S.S.R.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 1932, the Union Banking Corporation of New York City had enlisted four directors from the ('17) cell and two Nazi bankers associated with Fritz Thyssen, who had been financing Hitler since 1924.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From "George Bush; The Unauthorized Biography":&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"President Franklin Roosevelt's Alien Property Custodian, Leo T. Crowley, signed Vesting Order Number 248 [11/17/42] seizing the property of Prescott Bush under the Trading with Enemy Act. The order, published in obscure government record books and kept out of the news, Note #4 explained nothing about the Nazis involved; only that the Union Banking Corporation was run for the 'Thyssen family' of 'Germany and/or Hungary' -- 'nationals ... of a designated enemy country.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"By deciding that Prescott Bush and the other directors of the Union Banking Corporation were legally 'front men for the Nazis', the government avoided the more important historical issue: In what way 'were Hitler's Nazis themselves hired, armed, and instructed by' the New York and London clique of which Prescott Bush was an executive manager? ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"4. New York Times, December 16, 1944, ran a five-paragraph page 25 article on actions of the New York State Banking Department. Only the last sentence refers to the Nazi bank, as follows: 'The Union Banking Corporation, 39 Broadway, New York, has received authority to change its principal place of business to 120 Broadway.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The Times omitted the fact that the Union Banking Corporation had been seized by the government for trading with the enemy, and the fact that 120 Broadway was the address of the government's Alien Property Custodian."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After the war, Prescott went on to become a U. S. Senator from Connecticut and favorite golfing partner of President Eisenhower. Prescott claims responsibility for getting Nixon into politics and takes personal credit for bringing Dick on board as Ike's running mate in 1952. &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9231765-110441931353586303?l=ne033x.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ne033x.blogspot.com/feeds/110441931353586303/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9231765&amp;postID=110441931353586303' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9231765/posts/default/110441931353586303'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9231765/posts/default/110441931353586303'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ne033x.blogspot.com/2004/12/networks-of-power.html' title='Networks of Power'/><author><name>ne033x</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16152580291069122603</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9231765.post-110441926437611305</id><published>2004-12-30T16:07:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2004-12-30T16:07:44.376+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Secrets of the "Tomb"</title><content type='html'>The Order flourished from the very beginning in spite of occasional squalls of controversy. There was dissension from some professors, who didn't like its secrecy and exclusiveness. And there was backlash from students, showing concern about the influence "Bones" was having over Yale finances and the favoritism shown to "Bonesmen."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In October of 1873, Volume 1, Number 1, of The Iconoclast was published in New Haven. It was only published once and was one of very few openly published articles on the Order of Skull and Bones.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From The Iconoclast:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We speak through a new publication. because the college press is closed to those who dare to openly mention 'Bones'....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Out of every class Skull and Bones takes its men. They have gone out into the world and have become, in many instances, leaders in society. They have obtained control of Yale. Its business is performed by them. Money paid to the college must pass into their hands, and be subject to their will. No doubt they are worthy men in themselves, but the many, whom they looked down upon while in college, cannot so far forget as to give money freely into their hands. Men in Wall Street complain that the college comes straight to them for help, instead of asking each graduate for his share. The reason is found in a remark made by one of Yale's and America's first men: 'Few will give but Bones men and they care far more for their society than they do for the college....'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Year by year the deadly evil is growing. The society was never as obnoxious to the college as it is today, and it is just this ill-feeling that shuts the pockets of non-members. Never before has it shown such arrogance and self-fancied superiority. It grasps the College Press and endeavors to rule it all. It does not deign to show its credentials, but clutches at power with the silence of conscious guilt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"To tell the good which Yale College has done would be well nigh impossible. To tell the good she might do would be yet more difficult. The question, then, is reduced to this -- on the one hand lies a source of incalculable good -- on the other a society guilty of serious and far-reaching crimes. It is Yale College against Skull and Bones!! We ask all men, as a question of right, which should be allowed to live?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At first, the society held its meetings in hired halls. Then in 1856, the "tomb", a vine-covered, windowless, brown-stone hall was constructed, where to this day the "Bonesmen" hold their "strange, occultish" initiation rites and meet each Thursday and Sunday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On September 29, 1876, a group calling itself "The Order of File and Claw" broke into the Skull and Bones' holy of holies. In the "tomb" they found lodge-room 324 "fitted up in black velvet, even the walls being covered with the material." Upstairs was lodge-room 322, "the 'sanctum sanctorium' of the temple... furnished in red velvet" with a pentagram on the wall. In the hall are "pictures of the founders of Bones at Yale, and of members of the Society in Germany, when the chapter was established here in 1832." The raiding party found another interesting scene in the parlor next to room 322.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From "The Fall Of Skull And Bones":&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"On the west wall, hung among other pictures, an old engraving representing an open burial vault, in which, on a stone slab, rest four human skulls, grouped about a fools cap and bells, an open book, several mathematical instruments, a beggar's scrip, and a royal crown. On the arched wall above the vault are the explanatory words, in Roman letters, 'We War Der Thor, Wer Weiser, Wer Bettler Oder, Kaiser?' and below the vault is engraved, in German characters, the sentence; 'Ob Arm, Ob Beich, im Tode gleich.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The picture is accompanied by a card on which is written, 'From the German Chapter. Presented by D. C. Gilman of D. 50'."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Daniel Coit Gilman ('52), along with two other "Bonesmen," formed a troika which still influences American life today. Soon after their initiation in Skull and Bones, Daniel Gilman, Timothy Dwight ('49) and Andrew Dickinson White ('53) went to study philosophy in Europe at the University of Berlin. Gilman returned from Europe and incorporated Skull and Bones as Russell Trust, in 1856, with himself as Treasurer and William H. Russell as President. He spent the next fourteen years in New Haven consolidating the order's power.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gilman was appointed Librarian at Yale in 1858. Through shrewd political maneuvering, he acquired funding for Yale's science departments (Sheffield Scientific School) and was able to get the Morrill Land Bill introduced in Congress, passed and finally signed by President Lincoln, after being vetoed by President Buchanan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This bill, "donating public-lands for State College for agriculture and sciences", is now known as the Land Grant College Act. Yale was the first school in America to get the federal land scrip and quickly grabbed all of Connecticut's share at the time. Pleased by the acquisitions, Yale made Gilman a Professor of Physical Geography.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Daniel was the first President of the University of California. He also helped found, and was the first president of, John Hopkins.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gilman was first president of the Carnegie Institution and involved in the founding of the Peabody, Slater and Russell Sage Foundations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;His buddy, Andrew D. White, was the first president of Cornell University (which received all of New York's share of the Land Grant College Act), U.S. Minister to Russia, U.S. Ambassador to Berlin and first president of the American Historical Association. White was also Chairman of the American delegation to the first Hague Conference in 1899, which established an international judiciary.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Timothy Dwight, a professor at Yale Divinity School, was installed as president of Yale in 1886. All presidents since, have been either "Bonesmen" or directly tied to the Order and its interests.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Daniel/Gilman/White trio was also responsible for the founding of the American Economic Association, the American Chemical Society and the American Psychological Association. Through their influences on John Dewey and Horace Mann, this trio continues to have an enormous impact on education today. &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9231765-110441926437611305?l=ne033x.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ne033x.blogspot.com/feeds/110441926437611305/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9231765&amp;postID=110441926437611305' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9231765/posts/default/110441926437611305'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9231765/posts/default/110441926437611305'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ne033x.blogspot.com/2004/12/secrets-of-tomb.html' title='Secrets of the &quot;Tomb&quot;'/><author><name>ne033x</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16152580291069122603</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9231765.post-110441921291896571</id><published>2004-12-30T16:06:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2004-12-30T16:06:52.916+01:00</updated><title type='text'>The Secret Origins of Skull &amp; Bones</title><content type='html'>The story begins at Yale, where three threads of American social history -- espionage, drug smuggling and secret societies -- intertwine into one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Elihu Yale was born near Boston, educated in London, and served with the British East India Company, eventually becoming governor of Fort Saint George, Madras, in 1687. He amassed a great fortune from trade and returned to England in 1699. Yale became known as quite a philanthropist; upon receiving a request from the Collegiate School in Connecticut, he sent a donation and a gift of books. After subsequent bequests, Cotton Mather suggested the school be named Yale College, in 1718.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A statue of Nathan Hale stands on Old Campus at Yale University. There is a copy of that statue in front of the CIA's headquarters in Langley, Virginia. Yet another stands in front of Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts (where George H.W. Bush ('48) went to prep school and joined a secret society at age twelve).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nathan Hale, along with three other Yale graduates, was a member of the "Culper Ring," one of America's first intelligence operations. Established by George Washington, it was successful throughout the Revolutionary War. Nathan was the only operative to be ferreted out by the British, and after speaking his famous regrets, he was hanged in 1776. Ever since the founding of the Republic, the relationship between Yale and the "Intelligence Community" has been unique.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 1823, Samuel Russell established Russell and Company for the purpose of acquiring opium in Turkey and smuggling it to China. Russell and Company merged with the Perkins (Boston) syndicate in 1830 and became the primary American opium smuggler. Many of the great American and European fortunes were built on the "China"(opium) trade.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of Russell and Company's Chief of Operations in Canton was Warren Delano, Jr., grandfather of Franklin Roosevelt. Other Russell partners included John Cleve Green (who financed Princeton), Abiel Low (who financed construction of Columbia), Joseph Coolidge and the Perkins, Sturgis and Forbes families. (Coolidge's son organized the United Fruit company, and his grandson, Archibald C. Coolidge, was a co-founder of the Council on Foreign Relations.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;William Huntington Russell ('33), Samuel's cousin, studied in Germany from 1831-32. Germany was a hotbed of new ideas. The "scientific method" was being applied to all forms of human endeavor. Prussia, which blamed the defeat of its forces by Napoleon in 1806 on soldiers only thinking about themselves in the stress of battle, took the principles set forth by John Locke and Jean Rosseau and created a new educational system. Johan Fitche, in his "Address to the German People," declared that the children would be taken over by the State and told what to think and how to think it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel took over Fitche's chair at the University Of Berlin in 1817, and was a professor there until his death in 1831. Hegel was the culmination of the German idealistic philosophy school of Immanuel Kant.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To Hegel, our world is a world of reason. The state is Absolute Reason and the citizen can only become free by worship and obedience to the state. Hegel called the state the "march of God in the world" and the "final end". This final end, Hegel said, "has supreme right against the individual, whose supreme duty is to be a member of the state." Both fascism and communism have their philosophical roots in Hegellianism. Hegellian philosophy was very much in vogue during William Russell's time in Germany.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When Russell returned to Yale in 1832, he formed a senior society with Alphonso Taft ('33). According to information acquired from a break-in to the "tomb" (the Skull and Bones meeting hall) in 1876, "Bones is a chapter of a corps in a German University.... General Russell, its founder, was in Germany before his Senior Year and formed a warm friendship with a leading member of a German society. He brought back with him to college, authority to found a chapter here." So class valedictorian William H. Russell, along with fourteen others, became the founding members of "The Order of Scull and Bones," later changed to "The Order of Skull and Bones".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The secretive Order of Skull and Bones exists only at Yale. Fifteen juniors are "tapped" each year by the seniors to be initiated into next year's group. Some say each initiate is given $15,000 and a grandfather clock. Far from being a campus fun-house, the group is geared more toward the success of its members in the post-collegiate world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The family names on the Skull and Bones roster roll off the tongue like an elite party list -- Lord, Whitney, Taft, Jay, Bundy, Harriman, Weyerhaeuser, Pinchot, Rockefeller, Goodyear, Sloane, Stimson, Phelps, Perkins, Pillsbury, Kellogg, Vanderbilt, Bush, Lovett and so on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;William Russell went on to become a general and a state legislator in Connecticut. Alphonso Taft was appointed U.S. Attorney General, Secretary of War (a post many "Bonesmen" have held), Ambassador to Austria, and Ambassador to Russia (another post held by many "Bonesmen"). His son, William Howard Taft ('87), is the only man to be both President of the United States and Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9231765-110441921291896571?l=ne033x.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ne033x.blogspot.com/feeds/110441921291896571/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9231765&amp;postID=110441921291896571' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9231765/posts/default/110441921291896571'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9231765/posts/default/110441921291896571'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ne033x.blogspot.com/2004/12/secret-origins-of-skull-bones.html' title='The Secret Origins of Skull &amp; Bones'/><author><name>ne033x</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16152580291069122603</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9231765.post-110435257487794859</id><published>2004-12-29T21:35:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2004-12-29T21:36:14.876+01:00</updated><title type='text'>RUSSIA, CHINA TO HOLD UNPRECEDENTED JOINT MILITARY OPS</title><content type='html'>MOSCOW (AP) - Russia and China are set to hold unprecedented joint military maneuvers on Chinese territory next year involving both nations' air forces and navies, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Ivanov said in the Kremlin on Monday.&lt;br /&gt;Ivanov, speaking at a Cabinet session chaired by President Vladimir Putin, said that the exercise would involve submarines and possibly even strategic bombers, the Interfax and ITAR-Tass news agencies reported.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"For the first time in history, we have agreed to hold a quite large military exercise together with China on the Chinese territory in the second half of the year," Ivanov said, according to ITAR-Tass.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The Russian side will bring not big numbers of servicemen, but mostly state-of-the art weapons - navy, air, long-range aviation, submarines to practice interaction with China in different forms of military maneuvers."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Putin then intervened, asking whether Russian strategic bombers would be engaged in the exercise.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"It's not excluded," Ivanov answered.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After decades of bitter rivalry, Moscow and Beijing have developed what they describe as a strategic partnership in the years after the Soviet collapse. China has become the No. 1 customer for Russia's struggling defense enterprises, purchasing billions of dollars worth of fighters, missiles, submarines and destroyers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Both nations have frequently spoken about their adherence to a "multi-polar world," a term that refers to their opposition to the perceived U.S. domination in global affairs. &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9231765-110435257487794859?l=ne033x.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ne033x.blogspot.com/feeds/110435257487794859/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9231765&amp;postID=110435257487794859' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9231765/posts/default/110435257487794859'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9231765/posts/default/110435257487794859'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ne033x.blogspot.com/2004/12/russia-china-to-hold-unprecedented.html' title='RUSSIA, CHINA TO HOLD UNPRECEDENTED JOINT MILITARY OPS'/><author><name>ne033x</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16152580291069122603</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9231765.post-110435129085987251</id><published>2004-12-29T21:14:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2004-12-29T21:14:50.860+01:00</updated><title type='text'>REVERSED SPEECH PROVES BERG KILLED BY AMERICANS-AL ZARKAWI A MYTH</title><content type='html'>EXCLUSIVE TO SURFING THE APOCALYPSE - http://www.surfingtheapocalypse.com&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is now certain that Nick Berg, victim of a brutal and gruesome killing recorded on video, was murdered by an American military intelligence team in Baghdad. Even more disturbing, it is apparent that the once dead but distinctly magical al-Zarqawi, firmly identified by official sources as the killer, is no more than an American fiction.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Proof of all this, and more, comes from an unexpected source. Do you remember the fascinating field of "reverse speech" in which unconscious statements are found in voice recordings that are slowed and played backwards? It is a quiet revolution in the way we detect lies and ferret out the truth, and it will eventually change the world. Prominent on late-night radio during the Clinton administration, RS on "political" topics went underground in the highly chilled media environment ushered in by Bush and company.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sensitive RS files are now shared privately, via e-mail and CDs sent by post. This means that the mounting evidence of the illusionary nature of major world events is not being heard by those who really want to know what is going on. Nonetheless, the sense of outrage among RS practitioners who monitor national events is growing, and the murder of Nick Berg as an American propaganda stunt may have been the proverbial last straw.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because the amazingly amateurish American intelligence team in Baghdad decided to "go Hollywood" they inadvertently provided target-rich material for RS analysis. The Berg video contains five minutes of recorded speech that provides a treasure-trove of information about what actually happened. Of course, the perpetrators will never be required to pay for their crime. That is the nature of the world we now live in. There is no reason, though, that you shouldn't at least know the truth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The initial discovery that Berg's killers are Americans was made by an RS researcher who reversed the final moments of audio looking for evidence that what was shown on screen was in fact happening. The stunning discovery that the hooded man reading the prepared statement was unconsciously broadcasting his thoughts and feelings in a continuous stream of "American" English, prompted others to download the video as well, and go to work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although there was speculation that the Berg video was a hoax in it's entirety, there is no question that the ill-fated young man was actually murdered on camera. Matching the audio track with the correct video sequences provides a gruesome realism that leaves no doubt. Beyond this, the unconscious commentary of the killer, clearly revealed in his reversed speech, is completely damning. You can listen to some examples of this below, although bandwidth limits allow only brief samples of the huge amount of material that has become available.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To refresh your memory, you can hear a piece of the original audio in the first sound clip. Remember this is U.S. government certified to be the voice of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, although multiple Arab sources noted the man's accent was not right, and that his appearance didn't match either. The audio clips are encoded for Windows Media Player. These are short clips, but if your connection is too slow, you might try right-clicking the link and choose "save target as" to download to your own machine..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Play Clip 1 - Original sound, voice of Berg's killer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The reading of the Arabic statement lasts for almost five minutes. You can take any segment, slow it to 50-60% normal speed, and reverse it to get the killer's personal version of events in almost continuous English. Because the concrete room produces multiple echoes, slowing the playback speed creates the illusion of multiple voices, like a male chorus all saying the same thing at the same time. This is a bit spooky, but the reversals are intelligible none the less.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the following sequence you will hear the killer describe his unit's interest in Berg. Each reversal will be heard twice. They are strongly compressed and they will come fast, so you will probably want to listen several times. Just press play on your Windows player while the file is still loaded, to hear them again, without having to download multiple times.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Play Clip 2 - Why Berg was chosen. Reversals are:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) Trey sends me a liberal&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) Freaky Data - From E.D.I.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3) They are communist&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4) A red agent&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This confirms the suspicions, which may have included at least one leak, that Berg was chosen because of his family's commitment to leftist causes. EDI is the government's "Electronic Data Interchange", the system by which Federal agencies share files. It seems the Berg family files at the Pentagon or CIA are extensive, although it would be anyone's guess as to their accuracy. The clown pretending to be an Islamic freedom fighter has apparently been told that Berg is a possible "red agent". This is why Nick was selected for sacrifice. None of the researchers working on this material have so far located any other clue. In other words, there is no indication that Berg committed any specific offense. He just made a handy candidate for the ghouls who dreamed up this nightmare.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are some reversals from Nick Berg himself, obtained from the first segment of the video. They raise some interesting questions, but since there is no indication of wrongdoing on his part it has been decided that they should remain private.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also note that we have the name or at least the nickname of the person who turned Berg over to these killers. TREY. There are other names in the file as well. HOWIE is one of the masked killers. GUNTHER sharpened the knife they used to saw on Nick's neck, and may or may not have been standing on stage. The chief murderer? The one who reads the statement and then goes to work with the knife? His name is DAVID. The Last syllable of his last name is not totally clear, and awaits better sound processing. He probably holds the rank of sergeant, although that particular reference may be to some else in the room. Other names also appear, as the killer unconsciously notes the people around him, and even reflects on personal issues, like time he hopes to spend in Hawaii with his girlfriend.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Believe it or not, DAVID, actually introduces himself in the first three seconds of his speech. His American military training has conditioned him to introduce himself whenever he stands up to address a group, as in a classroom or formal briefing. So, right off the bat, this poor dummy's subconscious pops out with "I am David M..."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Play Clip 3 - Nature and purpose of the video.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) Illusion&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) Propaganda&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All of these reversals and more occur in the first twenty-five seconds of audio from the killer. In the first five seconds, the killer is focused on his acting role: he must look down, read the words, and preserve the illusion that this is a group of terrorists which, ironically, they really are. "The illusion" appears at that point. The reference to propaganda appears immediately following the reversals about the information obtained on the family. This simply suggests that Berg must have seemed the ideal throw-away human being for the purpose or mission at hand: making a propaganda film.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unfortunately, our little band of killers are relatively low on the intelligence food chain, and it is not evident that they know or understand what it was hoped the film would achieve. They did, however, know that they were about to do something truly horrible. The main impression is that they were more than willing to do so, as long as no one should ever find out how it happened. The killer, DAVID, actually refers to himself as a murderer (how many others?). He even entertains the thought that no one will believe him back home, if he should try to tell anyone about what he's done.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is also important to remember that there is a much larger group of people involved, beyond the hooded men on stage. We believe there are two people running video cameras, at least two more who are eager to get digital photos for their personal scrapbooks, and a significant number of others that must have been walking by out of camera range, because speech reversals note their presence and often refer to them by name. They are all accomplices to premeditated murder, but apparently have no qualms at all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These are true sociopaths, and it is disheartening to think how far America has fallen to be so closely mirroring Hitler's Third Reich and Lenin's Soviet Union. In the final sound clip, taken from the end of the audio track when they fall on Berg and kill him, you will hear their thoughts about what has happened. I say "their" thoughts because this includes one of those rare reversals in which more than one person chimes in, making a true unconscious chorus in reverse. That one is marked below with an asterisk.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Play Clip 4 - The final moments.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) Horrible&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) Don't tell how! *multivoice&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3) I'm doing it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4) Don't tell how.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In these last reversals the killer, acknowledging the horror of what is happening, seems somewhat amazed that he is actually cutting off a living person's head with a knife. And as you can hear, both he and his companions unconsciously affirm their oaths of secrecy, and the importance of no one ever telling how it all happened.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While the true story of what happened to Nick Berg must not be diminished, the larger picture has far reaching implications. The intelligence team that killed him was all ready to go with the ideal front man to blame it on. The unfortunate al-Zarkawi, known to be crippled and reported dead, was available for resurrection, complete with a new organization no one had ever heard of. In his prepared text, the speaker claims to be Zarkawi, and within hours the CIA officially identified him as such, despite the fact that he didn't look like Zarkawi, or sound like Zarkawi. Within two days, senior military officers referred to operations mounted against Zarkawi as if they had been pursuing him for months. All this in contrast to the fact that his name appears nowhere in news searches, prior to the manufactured Berg murder.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Zarqawi legend now provides a perfect cover identity for a variety of false-flag propaganda operations, as well as a convenient excuse for bizarre military operations like the slaughter of the Iraqi wedding party, where excessive killing zeal by our mechanized barbarian horde must be explained away.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since his magical resurrection he has been transformed virtually overnight from a complete nonentity to an evil mastermind. Instead of an angry militant protesting the treatment of prisoners, he is now the key figure preventing a peaceful though illusionary transfer of power. In a June 24th A.P. article we learn, "U.S. officials have been warning that al-Zarqawi's followers - who were responsible for the beheadings of American businessman Nicholas Berg and South Korean hostage Kim Sun-il - would likely step up attacks to try to disrupt the transfer of sovereignty to the interim Iraqi government."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Clearly, all the key players in Iraq are involved in coordinating and supporting the Zarkawi legend. This leaves a larger question of just how these relatively small intelligence units can fill the really big shoes being created for them, regardless of whatever abilities they may have to requisition explosives or assemble car bombs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obviously, there is no reason to assume that any of the bizarre civilian killings that have followed the death of Nick Berg are genuine, other than the fact that another innocent person was murdered. Nor can we accept any action attributed to the imaginary Zarkawi without serious doubts about what is really happening.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Five key questions raised by the murder of Nick Berg are:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) Are American intelligence teams killing other Americans in Iraq, specifically U.S. soldiers, to maintain the illusion of continued violence?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) Why is it necessary to create the illusion of a crazed, violent, implacable enemy in the Middle East? What is the real situation?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3) Are all the stories we see on network news manufactured illusions, or just the important ones?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4) Are all Islamic terrorists American agents, or just some of them?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5) Besides Nick Berg, how many Americans have been murdered by their own government to create nation-rattling news events since the appointment of George W. Bush to the presidency? 3, 300, 3000? &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9231765-110435129085987251?l=ne033x.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ne033x.blogspot.com/feeds/110435129085987251/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9231765&amp;postID=110435129085987251' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9231765/posts/default/110435129085987251'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9231765/posts/default/110435129085987251'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ne033x.blogspot.com/2004/12/reversed-speech-proves-berg-killed-by.html' title='REVERSED SPEECH PROVES BERG KILLED BY AMERICANS-AL ZARKAWI A MYTH'/><author><name>ne033x</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16152580291069122603</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9231765.post-110434879623056469</id><published>2004-12-29T20:32:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2004-12-29T20:33:16.230+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Jet Is an Open Secret in Terror War </title><content type='html'> The airplane is a Gulfstream V turbojet, the sort favored by CEOs and celebrities. But since 2001 it has been seen at military airports from Pakistan to Indonesia to Jordan, sometimes being boarded by hooded and handcuffed passengers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    The plane's owner of record, Premier Executive Transport Services Inc., lists directors and officers who appear to exist only on paper. And each one of those directors and officers has a recently issued Social Security number and an address consisting only of a post office box, according to an extensive search of state, federal and commercial records.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Bryan P. Dyess, Steven E. Kent, Timothy R. Sperling and Audrey M. Tailor are names without residential, work, telephone or corporate histories - just the kind of "sterile identities," said current and former intelligence officials, that the C.I.A. uses to conceal involvement in clandestine operations. In this case, the agency is flying captured terrorist suspects from one country to another for detention and interrogation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    The C.I.A. calls this activity "rendition." Premier Executive's Gulfstream helps make it possible. According to civilian aircraft landing permits, the jet has permission to use U.S. military airfields worldwide.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Since Sept. 11, 2001, secret renditions have become a principal weapon in the C.I.A.'s arsenal against suspected al Qaeda terrorists, according to congressional testimony by C.I.A. officials. But as the practice has grown, the agency has had significantly more difficulty keeping it secret.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    According to airport officials, public documents and hobbyist plane spotters, the Gulfstream V, with tail number N379P, has been used to whisk detainees into or out of Jakarta, Indonesia; Pakistan; Egypt; and Sweden, usually at night, and has landed at well-known U.S. government refueling stops.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    As the outlines of the rendition system have been revealed, criticism of the practice has grown. Human rights groups are working on legal challenges to renditions, said Morton Sklar, executive director of the World Organization for Human Rights USA, because one of their purposes is to transfer captives to countries that use harsh interrogation methods outlawed in the United States. That, he said, is prohibited by the U.N. Convention on Torture.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    The C.I.A. has the authority to carry out renditions under a presidential directive dating to the Clinton administration, which the Bush administration has reviewed and renewed. The C.I.A. declined to comment for this article.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    "Our policymakers would never confront the issue," said Michael Scheuer, a former C.I.A. counterterrorism officer who has been involved with renditions and supports the practice. "We would say, 'Where do you want us to take these people?' The mind-set of the bureaucracy was, 'Let someone else do the dirty work.' "&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    The story of the Gulfstream V offers a rare glimpse into the C.I.A.'s secret operations, a world that current and former C.I.A. officers said should not have been so easy to document.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Not only have the plane's movements been tracked around the world, but the on-paper officers of Premier Executive Transport Services are also connected to a larger roster of false identities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Each of the officers of Premier Executive is linked in public records to one of five post office box numbers in Arlington, Oakton, Chevy Chase and the District. A total of 325 names are registered to the five post office boxes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    An extensive database search of a sample of 44 of those names turned up none of the information that usually emerges in such a search: no previous addresses, no past or current telephone numbers, no business or corporate records. In addition, although most names were attached to dates of birth in the 1940s, '50s or '60s, all were given Social Security numbers between 1998 and 2003.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    The Washington Post showed its research to the CIA, including a chart connecting Premier Executive's officers, the post office boxes, the 325 names, the recent Social Security numbers and an entity called Executive Support OFC. A C.I.A. spokesman declined to comment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    According to former C.I.A. operatives experienced in using "proprietary," or front, companies, the C.I.A. likely used, or intended to use, some of the 325 names to hide other activities, the nature of which could not be learned. The former operatives also noted that the agency devotes more effort to producing cover identities for its operatives in the field, which are supposed to stand up under scrutiny, than to hiding its ownership of a plane.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    The CIA's plane secret began to unravel less than six weeks after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    On Oct. 26, 2001, Masood Anwar, a Pakistani journalist with the News in Islamabad, broke a story asserting that Pakistani intelligence officers had handed over to U.S. authorities a Yemeni microbiologist, Jamil Qasim Saeed Mohammed, who was wanted in connection with the October 2000 bombing of the USS Cole.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    The report noted that an aircraft bearing tail number N379P, and parked in a remote area of a little-used terminal at the Karachi airport, had whisked Mohammed away about 2:40 a.m. Oct. 23. The tail number was also obtained by The Post's correspondent in Pakistan but not published.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    The News article ricocheted among spy-hunters and Web bloggers as a curiosity for those interested in divining the mechanics of the new U.S.-declared war on terrorism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    At 7:54:04 p.m. Oct. 26, the News article was posted on FreeRepublic.com, which bills itself as "a conservative news forum."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Thirteen minutes later, a chat-room participant posted the plane's registered owners: Premier Executive Transport Services Inc., of 339 Washington St., Dedham, Mass.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    "Sounds like a nice generic name," one blogger wrote in response. "Kind of like Air America" - a reference to the C.I.A.'s secret civilian airlines that flew supplies, food and personnel into Southeast Asia, including Laos, during the Vietnam War.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Eight weeks later, on Dec. 18, 2001, American-accented men wearing hoods and working with special Swedish security police brought two Egyptian nationals onto a Gulfstream V that was parked at night at Stockholm's Bromma Airport, according to Swedish officials and airport personnel interviewed by Swedish television's "Cold Facts" program. The account was confirmed independently by The Post. The plane's tail number: N379P.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Wearing red overalls and bound with handcuffs and leg irons, the men, who had applied for political asylum in Sweden, were flown to Cairo, according to Swedish officials and documents. Ahmed Agiza was convicted by Egypt's Supreme Military Court of terrorism-related charges; Muhammad Zery was set free. Both say they were tortured while in Egyptian custody. Sweden has opened an investigation into the decision to allow them to be rendered.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    A month later, in January 2002, a U.S.-registered Gulfstream V landed at Jakarta's military airport. According to Indonesian officials, the plane carried away Muhammad Saad Iqbal Madni, an Egyptian traveling on a Pakistani passport and suspected of being an al Qaeda operative who had worked with shoe bomber suspect Richard C. Reid. Without a hearing, he was flown to Egypt. His status and whereabouts are unknown. The plane's tail number was not noted, but the C.I.A. is believed to have only one of the expensive jets.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Over the past year, the Gulfstream V's flights have been tracked by plane spotters standing at the end of runways with high-powered binoculars and cameras to record the flights of military and private aircraft.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    These hobbyists list their findings on specialized Web pages. According to them, since October 2001 the plane has landed in Islamabad; Karachi; Riyadh, Saudi Arabia; Dubai; Tashkent, Uzbekistan; Baghdad; Kuwait City; Baku, Azerbaijan; and Rabat, Morocco. It has stopped frequently at Dulles International Airport, at Jordan's military airport in Amman and at airports in Frankfurt, Germany; Glasglow, Scotland, and Larnaca, Cyprus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Premier Executive Transport Services was incorporated in Delaware by the Prentice-Hall Corporation System Inc. on Jan. 10, 1994. On Jan. 23, 1996, Dean Plakias, a lawyer with Hill &amp; Plakias in Dedham, filed incorporation papers with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts listing the company's president as Bryan P. Dyess.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    According to public documents, Premier Executive ordered a new Gulfstream V in 1998. It was delivered in November 1999 with tail number N581GA, and reregistered for unknown reasons on March 2000 with a new tail number, N379P. It began flights in June 2000, and changed the tail number again in December 2003.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Plakias did not return several telephone messages seeking comment. He told the Boston Globe recently that he simply filed the required paperwork. "I'm not at liberty to discuss the affairs of the client business, mainly for reasons I don't know," he told the Globe. Asked whether the company exists, Plakias responded: "Millions of companies are set up in Massachusetts that are just paper companies."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    A lawyer in Washington, whose name is listed on a 1996 IRS form on record at the Secretary of the Commonwealth's office in Massachusetts - and whose name is whited out on some copies of the forms - hung up the phone last week when asked about the company.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Three weeks ago, on Dec. 1, the plane, complete with a new tail number, was transferred to a new owner, Bayard Foreign Marketing of Portland, Ore., according to FAA records. Its registered agent in Portland, Scott Caplan, did not return phone calls.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Like the officers at Premier Executive, Bayard's sole listed corporate officer, Leonard T. Bayard, has no residential or telephone history. Unlike Premier's officers, Bayard's name does not appear in any other public records. &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9231765-110434879623056469?l=ne033x.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ne033x.blogspot.com/feeds/110434879623056469/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9231765&amp;postID=110434879623056469' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9231765/posts/default/110434879623056469'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9231765/posts/default/110434879623056469'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ne033x.blogspot.com/2004/12/jet-is-open-secret-in-terror-war.html' title='Jet Is an Open Secret in Terror War '/><author><name>ne033x</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16152580291069122603</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9231765.post-110434858497458157</id><published>2004-12-29T20:28:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2004-12-29T20:29:44.973+01:00</updated><title type='text'>9-11 AND THE SMOKING GUN</title><content type='html'>If the 9-11 Commission is really looking for a smoking gun, it should look no further than at Lieutenant-General Mahmoud Ahmad, the director of the Pakistani Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) at the time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In early October 2001, Indian intelligence learned that Mahmoud had ordered flamboyant Saeed Sheikh - the convicted mastermind of the kidnapping and killing of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl - to wire US$100,000 from Dubai to one of hijacker Mohamed Atta's two bank accounts in Florida.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A juicy direct connection was also established between Mahmoud and Republican Congressman Porter Gross and Democratic Senator Bob Graham. They were all in Washington together discussing Osama bin Laden over breakfast when the attacks of September 11, 2001, happened.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mahmoud's involvement in September 11 might be dismissed as only Indian propaganda. But Indian intelligence swears by it, and the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has confirmed the whole story: Indian intelligence even supplied Saeed's cellular-phone numbers. Nobody has bothered to check what really happened. The 9-11 Commission should pose very specific questions about it to FBI director Robert Mueller when he testifies this month.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In December 2002, Graham said he was "surprised at the evidence that there were foreign governments involved in facilitating the activities of at least some of the [September 11] terrorists in the United States ... It will become public at some point when it's turned over to the archives, but that's 20 or 30 years from now." He could not but be referring to Pakistan and Mahmoud. If Mahmoud was really involved in September 11, this means the Pakistani ISI -"the state within the state" - knew all about it. And if the intelligence elite in Pakistan knew it, an intelligence elite in Saudi Arabia knew it, as well as an intelligence elite in the US. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On September 9, the legendary "Lion of the Panjshir", Ahmed Shah Masoud, the key Northern Alliance commander, was assassinated by two suicide bombers posing as journalists in his base in northern Afghanistan. The Northern Alliance tells Washington that the ISI may be involved. Masoud himself had told this correspondent, two weeks before he was killed, of the incestuous link between bin Laden and al-Qaeda, the Taliban and the ISI. A 2002 Asia Times Online investigation would later establish that Masoud was killed as a gift from al-Qaeda to the Taliban, with heavy involvement by Abdul Sayyaf, an Afghan mujahideen commander very close to the ISI and the Saudis. From Washington's perspective, this was also a gift. Masoud was the crucial Afghan nationalist leader, supported by Russia and Iran; after the Taliban being smashed he would never have accepted a feeble, US-sponsored, Hamid Karzai-style government.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On September 10, the Pakistani daily The News reported that the Mahmoud visit to the United States "triggered speculation about the agenda of his mysterious meetings at the Pentagon and National Security Council". If he'd been to the National Security Council, he had certainly met Rice. Mahmoud did meet with his counterpart, Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) director George Tenet. Tenet and Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage had been in Islamabad in May, when Tenet had "unusually long" meetings with Musharraf. Armitage for his part has countless friends in the Pakistani military and the ISI. Mahmoud also met a number of high officials at the White House and the Pentagon and had a crucial meeting with Marc Grossman, the under secretary of state for political affairs. Rice maintains she did not meet Mahmoud then.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the morning of September 11, Mahmoud was having a breakfast meeting at the Capitol with Graham and Goss. Goss spent as many as 10 years working on numerous CIA clandestine operations. He is very close to Vice President Dick Cheney. It's interesting to note that two weeks ago Goss suggested to the Justice Department to bring perjury charges against the new Cheney nemesis, Clarke. As it is widely known, Graham and Goss were co-heads of the joint House-Senate investigation that proclaimed there was "no smoking gun" as far as President George W Bush having any advance knowledge of September 11.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to the Washington Post, and also to sources in Islamabad, the Mahmoud-Graham-Goss meeting lasted until the second plane hit Tower 2 of the World Trade Center. Graham later said they were talking about terrorism coming from Afghanistan, which means they were talking about bin Laden.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pakistani intelligence sources told Asia Times Online that on the afternoon of September 11 itself, as well as on September 12 and 13, Armitage met with Mahmoud with a stark choice: either Pakistan would help the US against al-Qaeda, or it would be bombed back to the Stone Age. Secretary of State Colin Powell presented an ultimatum in the form of seven US demands. Pakistan accepted all of them. One of the demands was for Musharraf to send Mahmoud to Kandahar again and force the Taliban to extradite bin Laden. Mahmoud knew in advance Mullah Omar would refuse. But when he went to Kandahar the Taliban leader said he would accept, as long as the Americans proved bin Laden was responsible for September 11. There was no proof, and Afghanistan was bombed anyway, a policy already decided well in advance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's important to remember than on September 13 Islamabad airport was shut down - allegedly because of threats against Pakistan's strategic assets. On September 14, Islamabad declared total support for the US: the airport was immediately reopened. Mahmoud remained in Washington until September 16 - when the war on Afghanistan was more than programmed, and Pakistan was firmly in the "with us" and not the "against us" column.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Million-dollar questions remain. Did Mahmoud know when and how the attacks of September 11 would happen? Did Musharraf know? Could the Bush administration have prevented September 11? It's hard to believe high echelons of the CIA and FBI were not aware of the direct link between the ISI and alleged chief hijacker Mohammed Atta.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On October 7, Mahmoud was demoted from the ISI. By that time, Washington obviously knew of the connection between Mahmoud, Saeed Sheikh and Mohamed Atta: the FBI knew it. The official version is that Mahmoud was sacrificed because he was too close to the Taliban - which, it is never enough to remind, are a cherished creature of the ISI. Two other ISI big shots, Lieutenant-General Mohammed Aziz Khan and Chief of General Staff Mohammed Yousouf, are also demoted along with Mahmoud. Saeed Sheikh was under orders to Khan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The fact remains that even with this Musharraf-conducted purge of the ISI elite, the bulk of ISI officers remained, and still are, pro-Taliban. Other former ISI directors living in Pakistan, such as the colorful, outspoken Lieutenant-General Hamid Gul, did not "disappear" and always renew their support for the Taliban. But as Asia Times Online has reported, Mahmoud did disappear. He lives in near seclusion in Rawalpindi. And he is definitely not talking. Graham and Goss may not be interested in talking to him either. Because he may be the ultimate September 11 smoking gun.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusion&lt;br /&gt;The Karl Rove-designed campaign to re-elect Bush is in essence anchored on September 11. The Republican convention in New York will happen in the first week of September. Bush's speech will be on September 2 - to force the connection with the three-year commemoration of September 11.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This whole affair is not about whether Clarke committed "perjury"; whether Rice was really up to her job; or whether George W Bush knew something and then "forgot" about it. The families of September 11 victims, US public opinion, the demonized Islamic world, the whole world for that matter, all everybody wants to know is what really happened on September 11. The only party that does not seem interested in getting to the bottom of it is the Bush administration. The official fable of 19 kamikaze Arabs turning Boeings into missiles with military precision, armed only with box cutters and a few flight lessons and directed from an Afghan cave by a satellite phone-shy bin Laden simply does not hold. The commission is not asking the really hard questions. Here are just a few - and they are far from being the most embarrassing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) The "stand down" order: Why, despite more than an hour's warning that an attack was happening, were no F-16s protecting US airspace? Documents easily available online reveal why the Pentagon could not act: because of bureaucracy. Why did the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) claim it took 25 minutes after the transponder was shut down to learn that Flight 11 - which hit World Trade Center Tower 1 - was hijacked? Why did fighters not take off from Andrews Air Force base just outside Washington to protect the Pentagon?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) The pre-September 11 suspicious stock option trades in American Airlines and United Airlines were never fully investigated. Who profited?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3) What happened to the FBI investigation into flight schools - when it was proved that at least five of the 19 hijackers were trained in US military schools?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4) Why did Bush keep reading a pet-goat story for more than half an hour after the first WTC hit, and 15 minutes after Chief of Staff Andrew Card told him there had been an attack?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5) What really happened to Flight 93? An Associated Press story last August quoting a congressional report said the FBI suspected the plane was crashed on purpose. The FBI has a flight-simulation video of what happened: the video - as well as the black box - remain top secret. And as far as four "indestructible" black boxes are concerned, how come none were found, unlike Mohammed Atta's intact passport lying in the WTC rubble?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6) Why have no scientific experts examined the physical and mathematical evidence that a Boeing 757 could not have possibly "disappeared" without a trace after hitting the Pentagon? For the most exhaustive and practically incontrovertible analysis available on the net, see this  report.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7) What remains of the very tight 1980s bin Laden-ISI-CIA connection? How much did the CIA know about what the ISI was up to? And how much did the ISI know about what al-Qaeda was up to?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8) What does Rice really know about the very close relations between Mahmoud and the top echelons of the Bush administration?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The genie - the crucial information - is still in the bottle. &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9231765-110434858497458157?l=ne033x.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ne033x.blogspot.com/feeds/110434858497458157/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9231765&amp;postID=110434858497458157' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9231765/posts/default/110434858497458157'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9231765/posts/default/110434858497458157'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ne033x.blogspot.com/2004/12/9-11-and-smoking-gun.html' title='9-11 AND THE SMOKING GUN'/><author><name>ne033x</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16152580291069122603</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9231765.post-110434800051378124</id><published>2004-12-29T20:19:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2004-12-29T20:20:00.513+01:00</updated><title type='text'>The interim Prime Minister of Iraq</title><content type='html'>A bigraphical timeline of Mr. Allawi, former Baathist, former agent for MI6 and CIA, former terrorist. This is an improvement?&lt;br /&gt;Allawi's rocky road to the top&lt;br /&gt;July 17, 2004&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1945: Born to a wealthy Shiite merchant family. His grandfather helped to negotiate Iraq's independence from Britain, and his father was a doctor and a MP.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1960s: Studies at medical school in Baghdad, where he first meets Saddam Hussein. Joins Baath party.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1963: According to the memoirs of a former Iraqi ambassador, Talib Shabib, Allawi was an assassin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1971: Leaves Baghdad for London to continue his medical education. Trains to be a neurologist and obtains a master of science in medicine and a doctorate in medicine from London University. (Allawi has lived about half of his life in Britain and retains British citizenship.) Some claim he continued to serve the Baath party, and the Iraqi secret police, searching out enemies of the regime.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1975: Falls out of favour with the Baath party.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1978: Enters a relationship with the British security services. Word reaches Saddam's secret police. He is attacked while in his bed in Kingston-upon-Thames. Intruder hits him over the head with an axe, a second blow nearly severs his right leg, and a third plunges into his chest. The would-be assassins flee. Allawi spends a year in hospital recovering from his injuries.&lt;br /&gt;Advertisement Advertisement&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1980s: Travels extensively in the Middle East, holding clandestine meetings with other exiled Iraqis, and cultivating links with rebel army officers still in Iraq.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1991: Forms the exile group Iraqi National Accord with the support of the CIA and British intelligence - MI6 - and becomes its leader. The organisation recruits disillusioned Baathist military officers who have defected.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1992: According to former CIA officers, the INA organises terrorist attacks in Iraq between 1992 and 1995, probably including the bombing of a school bus that killed schoolchildren.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1996: An INA coup attempt ends disastrously when Saddam's intelligence services penetrate the group's dissident operations inside Iraq. In June, 30 military officers linked to the INA are executed and another 100 arrested. Saddam takes revenge by seizing land that has been owned for centuries by Allawi's rich merchant family.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2002: Allawi channels the report from an Iraqi officer claiming that Iraq could deploy weapons of mass destruction within 45 minutes to British Intelligence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2003: After the fall of Saddam, Allawi returns to Iraq and is appointed to the Iraqi Governing Council. Holds the rotating presidency of the interim governing council during October of 2003.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;May 28, 2004: Allawi is chosen by the council to become the interim prime minister of Iraq.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;June 28: (Two days early) the US-led coalition hands over power to Allawi and the interim government.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sources: The Guardian, BBC &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9231765-110434800051378124?l=ne033x.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ne033x.blogspot.com/feeds/110434800051378124/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9231765&amp;postID=110434800051378124' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9231765/posts/default/110434800051378124'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9231765/posts/default/110434800051378124'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ne033x.blogspot.com/2004/12/interim-prime-minister-of-iraq.html' title='The interim Prime Minister of Iraq'/><author><name>ne033x</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16152580291069122603</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9231765.post-110434783003752703</id><published>2004-12-29T20:15:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2004-12-29T20:17:10.036+01:00</updated><title type='text'>A CIA Officer's Calamitous Choices</title><content type='html'>Obituaries can barely scrape the surface of anyone's 86-year life. That's especially true for a covert intelligence officer whose responsibility for top-secret decisions – and their consequences – is rarely acknowledged.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But long before he succumbed to cancer on April 22, at the age of 86, retired CIA official James Critchfield had owned up to two of his decisions that were so momentous that they still influence the course of international events. One opened the CIA's doors to ex-Nazis. The other cleared the way for Saddam Hussein's rise to power in Iraq.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Critchfield made the first of his fateful decisions soon after he joined the fledgling CIA in 1948. Three years earlier, Hitler's master spy for the Eastern Front, Gen. Reinhard Gehlen, had surrendered to U.S. forces. He then proposed a deal. In return for his freedom, he would turn over his voluminous files on the Soviet Union along with his former agents who had scattered across Europe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Both the Army and the CIA considered Gehlen a hot potato. They decided to assign someone the task of weighing the pros and cons of his offer. That someone turned out to be James Critchfield, a highly decorated Army colonel who had led wartime units in Europe and North Africa and had greatly impressed senior CIA personnel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Critchfield was transferred to the Gehlen compound in Pullach, Germany. After a month or so of deliberation, he concluded that Washington would gain substantial advantage over Moscow by annexing the "Gehlen Org" into the CIA. He recommended that the agency do so and it did.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For the next four years, Critchfield remained Gehlen's CIA handler in Germany. Then, in 1952, West German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer chose Gehlen as the initial chief of the BND, West Germany's post-war intelligence agency. Critchfield said Gehlen – on his death bed 27 years later – thanked Critchfield for his vital assistance in the post-war period.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;War Criminals&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Secret documents declassified by the Clinton administration show that the CIA's collaboration with the ex-Nazis was not merely a marriage of convenience. It was more like a deal with the devil.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The documents reveal that Gehlen had hired and protected hundreds of Nazi war criminals. The more notorious of these Hitler henchmen included Alois Brunner, Adolf Eichmann's right-hand man in orchestrating the Final Solution, and Emil Augsburg, who directed the Wansee Institute where the Final Solution was formulated and who served in a unit that specialized in the extermination of Jews. Another was the former Gestapo chief Heinrich Muller, Adolf Eichmann's immediate superior whose signature appears on orders written in 1943 for the deportation of 45,000 Jews to Auschwitz for killing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Furthermore, the Gehlen Org was so thoroughly penetrated by Soviet spies that CIA operations in Eastern Europe often ended in the murder of its agents. To top it off, the Org fed the CIA a steady diet of misinformation that fanned the flames of East-West hostility – and thus assured the Org the continued patronage of Washington.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many historians of the CIA's early days have concluded that letting the ex-Nazis in was the CIA's original sin, a moral failure that also resulted in the distortion of the intelligence given U.S. policymakers during the crucial early years of the Cold War.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Critchfield of Arabia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Critchfield's second fateful decision was in the Middle East, another flashpoint of Cold War tensions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 1959, a young Saddam Hussein, allegedly in cahoots with the CIA, botched an assassination attempt on Iraq's leader, Gen. Abdel Karim Qassim. Hussein fled Iraq and reportedly hid out under the CIA's protection and sponsorship.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By early 1963, Qassim's policies were raising new alarms in Washington. He had withdrawn Iraq from the pro-Western Baghdad Pact, made friendly overtures to Moscow, and revoked oil exploration rights granted by a predecessor to a consortium of companies that included American oil interests.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It fell to Critchfield, who was then in an extended tenure in charge of the CIA's Near East and South Asia division, to remove Qassim. Critchfield supported a coup d'etat in February 1963 that was spearheaded by Iraq's Baathist party. The troublesome Qassim was killed, as were scores of suspected communists who had been identified by the CIA.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Critchfield hailed the coup that brought the Baathists to power as "a great victory." Yet the reality is that the coup further destabilized an Iraq that had survived on the edge of crisis since its creation as a British mandate, with arbitrarily selected borders, in the wake of World War I and the collapse of the Ottoman Empire.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The 1963 coup also paved the way for another momentous political development. Five years later, Saddam Hussein emerged as a leader in another Baathist coup. Over the next decade, he bullied his way to power, eventually consolidating a ruthless dictatorship that would lead to three wars in less than a quarter century.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After invading Iraq and ousting Hussein from power in April 2003, U.S. occupiers of Iraq outlawed the Baath party that James Critchfield and the CIA had helped install in the 1960s. Critchfield died two weeks after Hussein's government was toppled.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In retrospect, the United States and the world paid – and continue to pay – a high price for the clandestine decisions made by Critchfield and his unaccountable CIA cohorts. As was true of many other "intelligence" decisions, actions perceived to be short-term political gains turned out to be long-term calamities, leading to corruption, disorder and human suffering.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today, with the Washington information flow again tightly controlled and short on factual support, Critchfield's choices are a reminder that un-elected officials, operating in secret, still make policy decisions – and that their actions can affect the lives of millions in the U.S. and around the world.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9231765-110434783003752703?l=ne033x.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ne033x.blogspot.com/feeds/110434783003752703/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9231765&amp;postID=110434783003752703' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9231765/posts/default/110434783003752703'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9231765/posts/default/110434783003752703'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ne033x.blogspot.com/2004/12/cia-officers-calamitous-choices.html' title='A CIA Officer&apos;s Calamitous Choices'/><author><name>ne033x</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16152580291069122603</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9231765.post-110348787129292001</id><published>2004-12-19T21:19:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2004-12-19T21:24:31.293+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Secrets of the George Bush Family</title><content type='html'>A thorough scientific analysis of the swirl of events, people, nations, motivations, propaganda, personalities and histories involved in this current moment in history, leads to only one conclusion - That clandestine forces aligned with George Bush Sr. are planning to attack the US population, blame it on Islamic terrorists and use the attacks as a pretext for a total clamp-down on dissent, basic civil liberties, normal democratic processes and In the confusion that will follow they will wage unchecked war and aggression against Iraq, and other nations, Islamic and otherwise, who have natural resources and particularly oil reserves that this shadowy group of petrochemical and arms industrialists are thirsting for. Their ultimate goal? The conquest of Eurasia. Three quarters of the worlds population and resources are to be found on the Eurasian landmass. It has been the principal focus of State Department and military strategists since presidential National Security Advisor, Zbigniew Brzezinski outlined it twenty years ago as the principle American “Imperative.” Meaning - To survive, we MUST conquer. But what of all those nations that we will be conquering? According to Brzezinski and his cabal of adherents in the Military and State Department and industry for whom his writings are like a biblical tome - it’s for their own good.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The problem Brzezinski says is that most average American’s don’t have a taste for crusades of global conquest...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unless...&lt;br /&gt;...there’s a sudden terrifying threat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In his latest book, The Grand Chessboard, Brzezinski drills his followers no less than four times that only sudden and terrifying threats would rouse Americans to the task of global conquest.&lt;br /&gt;With the opening salvo of September 11th behind them, American’s are being, “softened up” right now for their first “Dirty Bomb,” attack. If there was ever so sinister an imaginary catastrophic device that had been so entirely concocted out of thin air, so heavily promoted in the media and ultimately steered to what will almost certainly be the dramatic conclusion of a self fulfilling media stoked prophecy - to be fabricated first in our imaginations then ignited in the real world - It is the dirty bomb. Find out the “Generators” of the dirty bomb “meme” that took off like wildfire eight months ago and you will find the very source of American terrorism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But it’s not going to be easy. Covert operators like this don’t leave memos of their machinations laying around - They don’t write this in e-mails. But they do leave traces of their presence.&lt;br /&gt;The analysis of the “Chatter,” voxnyc is receiving and interpreting points to only one conclusion - Teams of private ex-intelligence and ex-military operatives under the command structure of the axis of industrialists aligned with the Bush group of current and ex, intelligence and military operatives, are racing to consolidate total power in the hands of George Bush Jr. in the most ambitious power grab since Adolf Hitler.&lt;br /&gt;the Entire Article&lt;br /&gt;Dutch translation&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To make it very clear our analysis is the following: The much vaunted radiological dirty bomb will NOT be dropped on the American population from any Islamic terrorists but from the shadowy group of American intelligence operatives aligned with George Bush Sr. (the father)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Americans have been made, “aware,” of the dirty bomb for over six months now and have had the dirty bomb “meme” firmly linked to, “Islamic Terrorists.” This is how it’s done. It’s called the, “Back Story.” And it is part of the preparatory propaganda intelligence agencies call a Psy-op (psychological operation). These Psy-ops in actuality comprise nearly 70% of the overall human and capital resources our government devotes to a given geo-strategic objective - only 30% is bullets and bombs. But even with the many millions spent on painting these elaborate Psy-op pictures, it doesn’t take a forensic analysis to uncover some troubling clues within them - Something terribly wrong in the picture. Like a Hollywood special effects extravaganza - all glitz but light on story, these psy-ops which always accompany the dirty business of America’s, industry, military, intelligence triad, are the shoddy screenplays that, to the trained eye, are unconvincing, unbelievable, and scream out - "Inside Job."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(The 70/30 split is a general rule. But my guess is that with the Bushes - Because of their unique position of owning the Arms companies involved, their percentage of outlay to the bloody component would prove to be abnormally high. Each time a Texas based Raytheon cruise missile rocks some empty valley in Afghanistan, or worse, an agrarian village, that’s three million dollars in some fat cat crony’s wallet - that fat cat crony is going to “owe one” to the Bushes - It’s called reality - look into it.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In this case the clues point to only one conclusion. In their race towards global domination these intelligence groups are preparing to initiate attacks on American population centers. And are laying the preparatory groundwork to make those attacks have maximum political and psychological effect.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The analysis is clear - The sheer volume of the psychological info-warfare now being released into the media and principally targeted at the American people contains within it key indicators that point to an eminent inside attack. A careful examination of the history, personalities, and psychological profiles of those involved tell the whole story, it's the dark hand at work here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What follows is a VERY different explanation of the attacks of 9/11.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The ruling faction of our government can be characterized as being on a “Kill Crazy Rampage.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are so many people against the New World Order and so many people who have now discovered that the source of terrorism is actually American and at the highest levels of international banks, trade organizations and secret councils - That by our sheer numbers there is safety - How could they possibly kill us all. (for more on that see: voxnyc.com) And even though their primary goal is industrial dominance, not mass slaughter (Except in Africa and parts of Asia), their reality is very much more sobering. The Globalists have known for a long time that the free market approach simply isn’t working for them - only rigged markets, commerce isn’t working - only force works, economics and resources really are a zero sum game... and so in their last salutation to vitality they have resorted to terrorist attacks as the most expedient and efficient and in fact only mechanism they have left to jump start thier futile push for global domination.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So now we are standing by waiting for the dirty bomb to make it’s debut as the next threat of the month to capture the limited imagination of the somnambulistic American sheepdom. In the age of simulations this poor mans nuclear bomb, the dirty bomb, is an accurate reflection of the bankrupt and desperate warring American industrialists who assuredly will be the ones wielding it’s terrifying force against us. (The trail of acquisition of a genuine nuclear bomb is too much to cover for this group so the easiest solution is the dirty bomb)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Packing nowhere nears the strength of a full-on fissionable atomic bomb, the dirty bomb is really more an election strategy than a mass murder.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After a large section of New York has been destroyed and contaminated, Americans in the midwest and south will rally in outpourings of emotion and support for the mass exodus of New Yorkers to different parts of the country. Americans will be glued to CNN as it delivers the gripping images of a valient George Bush fearlessly entering the radiation perimeter in full radiation gear, (the best available) live. Then after a commercial break (And terror warnings for Homeland "Security" and the TIPS "snitch on your neighbor program") we will focus on the compassionate George Bush visiting a hospital where a young girl, suffering from radiation sickness, is being treated. We can see the American people in a rage of anger. Fraudulent polls will show 97% of Americans want to use nuclear weapons on some country - any country. And we can see the rousing images of Bush and his running mate, probably Rudolf Guilianni, during the next election as they sweep across the South and Midwest locking up state after state sailing to an easy victory.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is almost certainly how it’s going to play out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9-11, An inside job? - You better believe it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The lesson of self induced terrorism as a means to seize the American population, or any population for that matter, and stoke them into a war frenzy, is a deep part of the game plan of the masters of George Bush Jr’s administration - His father, George Bush Sr and the group of industrialists that he serves. Brzezinski’s book on global conquest through terror campaigns is the defacto Bible of the Bush Administration and now is standard coffee table decor in every office in the state department and pentagon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At the same time as being an effective means to rally the mass population for the coming wars necessary to impose the industrialist’s unwanted arrogant Pax Americana on the worlds populations, it is also a fabulously profitable form of population control as well. With a fear frenzied population under tight control there's no need to bow to public opinion or compromise with a reluctant Senate - The sky’s the limit on arms sale’s and profits. Wherever these shadow groups of private clandestine intelligence operators surface, extraordinary patterns of unexplained “suicides”, cancers, car accidents, assassinations, plane crashes, wrecked economies, other accidents, civil wars, oil wars, civil unrests, genocides, suicides and document shreddings, all just...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...happen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's something that happened. - a little back story.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is the extrordinary story of a dinner date. A dinner date that was scheduled to happen on march 31st 1981 - the day of the strange assassination attempt on the life of Ronald Reagan. Reagan was the president. And George Bush Sr, the very ambitious former CIA director from Texas was the Vice President.&lt;br /&gt;What makes this dinner date so special that night was it’s two guests. Hold on to your seats because the following news item should send a chill up your spine. The dinner party was to be held at the home of Neil Bush, the vice president’s son. The guest at the dinner party (which was quickly cancelled after news of the failed attempt on the life of the President), was Scott Hinckley the brother of John Hinckley who just that afternoon fired several shots into Reagans chest, coming one half inch from putting his bullet into the heart of the President - a half inch from putting his friend’s father, George Bush, into the White House.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now lets pause a moment and reflect on that. So far what we have is the son of the Vice President linked to the brother of the guy who just tried to kill the president. Take a moment to absorb that.&lt;br /&gt;Go look it up on Google. Type in (neil bush scott hinckley dinner) See for yourself.&lt;br /&gt;What was the Bush team’s response to this chilling revelation on the planned dinner date? They barricaded themselves behind a wall of the biggest PR Firms in the nation and issued the following statement “This horrible coincidence has been devastating to the Bush Family. Our condolences go out to all involved. And we hope to get the matter behind us as soon as possible.” (sic)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I should hope so.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If I was the Vice President and I had just masterminded a failed, assassination attempt on the President of the United States, I too would hope to “put the matter behind me.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Bush Team decided to go with the story that it was just a bad "coincidence." In the days that followed, Washington saw the most intensive whitewash of any news item ever whitewashed. Backroom deals were struck, the spin doctors went into action and an army of PR agents decended onto Washington and what should have been the biggest most investigated story of the 80’s... was wiped clean from history.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They spun it clear off the front, back and middle pages of all the giant newspapers. The only mention of it EVER to appear on national television was a brief comment by NBC’s John Chancellor who was absolutely floored by the revelation and mentioned it during his newscast against the demands of NBC management. NBC quickly jumped in and censored it. And the revelation was NEVER MENTIONED ON ANY TELEVISION SHOW EVER AGAIN .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Having no chance to make it into the History Books, the story resurfaced with the advent and explosion of the Internet, but something is happening there as well. It’s being expunged from the Internet as you read this. In 1999 one could find nearly a thousand independent articles pertaining to this most revealing story, then all of the sudden, one by one, the pages and sites relating to the story started to disappear. Today there just a few sites who are keeping the story alive. There used to be thousands of references to it , now there are but paltry few.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But wait, It get’s better. It was revealed in the days following the shooting that since 1970 both George Bush Sr. and John Hinckley Sr (the father of the assassin) were friends and fellow oil industrialists in Texas and Colorado. And that Hinckley had given substantial sums of money to the Bush campaign.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How’s that for a coincidence!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pretty "coincidental" isn’t it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here’s another coincidence, in 1978 Neil Bush lived in Lubbock, Texas while managing his brother George Jr’s (our President’s) campaign for congress. Guess who else lived in Lubbock that year?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;John Hinckley Jr.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is there a chill running down your spine yet? If there isn’t, there should be. Normally this many coincidences would sound alarm bells in a normally functioning democracy and there would be about a thousand articles in the major media outlets, or there would be at least one fearless soul in congress who would stand up and demand a congressional investigation. Well there actually was. There was only one congressman who defied this force - Congressman Larry MacDonald - But guess what? His plane crashed. Actually it was shot down by the Soviets. Many suspect that the infamous Korean Air 007 flight that was shot down by the Soviets as it unexplainably veered into Soviet airspace was an insider deal by heavyweights in the clandestine underworld in exchange for certain unfettered Soviet meddling in places like Central Asia and elsewhere in the following years. But that’s another coincidence. We're not finished with the tale of two sets of brothers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Near simultaneous press encounters probed the brothers (who were not together at the time of the press encounters) about whether they and Hinckley associated during that time in Lubbock or ever. Neil flat out denied it. But the dufus, George, (our current President) responded that it was “Conceivable that we had associated, however I can’t recollect.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do you know what that means, people? It means they certainly did meet. It means that at that time of the press encounters the Bush brothers were very aware that there were certain individuals alive in and around Lubbock and possible other places who would be able to refute any flat out denial by the Bushes that they had never met Hinckley. That is why Georgie's story had to be that it was, “Conceivable.” Otherwise as we all know in typical politician, "LieSpeak," Bush would simply flat out reject any claims and vehemently deny such a meeting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take a moment and work it out for yourself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to figure this one out. You don’t have to have a photograph of all three to know they were together in Lubbock. OTHERWISE THEY WOULD HAVE ISSUED FLAT OUT DENIALS. Bushes stupid move of the “Conceivable that we met” comment tells the whole story. It also reveals that the Bush boys were as sloppy with their covert operations then as they are now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bush violated rule number one for murderous lying political filth, that being, "Lie, deny, then cover-up later."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That being said, I’ll leave you with another - Pity the poor persons living in Lubbock who might have been party to or aware of such meetings between the three, because, considering the personalities involved, psychological makeup and history of the Bushes it is in all likelihood that any such person would have long since “committed suicide” or had a “car accident” or “fell out a window.” or some such other “accidental” and untimely death.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Know Your History.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My bet is that even if one were to mount a massive search of all persons who met an untimely death in and around Lubbock from the period from 1981 to 1990 that you may not even find a trace of them in existence any longer. And do you know why? Because that is the Bush speciality. Through executive dominion over public records they carefully and systematically expunge any trace of a person or events in state and federal records systems. If you are the Governor of Texas you simply have your private firm do a routine audit of the records systems, locate the records in question, and remove them. There is no one on a state level who would even have the power to challenge you. That’s what Bush Sr. spent a great deal of time and effort doing while he was Vice President and President. First expunging his father Prescott’s nasty little Nazi dealings from the records, then his own criminal cocaine, contras, and arms deals. Looks like the son learned his lessons well. That’s what they are doing right now - Deleting, rewriting and expunging history. And they are doing it openly. Just try to exercise your Freedom of Information rights. Fat chance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Time to wake the fuck up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Bush group never believably accounted for that chillingly unexplained dinner date. The mainstream press has NEVER visited that story since. It remains one of the most chilling examples of the power of the new dark hand to crush real events that really happened, essentially to shape history at will.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Welcome to the New World Order of deception, assassinations and power grabs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How many more coincidences is it going to take to wake people up? Answer: The only thing that will wake people up is the coming economic depression - short of that, the American population will swallow any lie, believe any implausible alibi, no matter how bald faced and ridiculous it is, that their leaders can shove down their throats.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But by the time the sheep awaken, if ever, by then it may be too late. For once they finally see their true condition, by then the mechanisims of human tracking and control might have reached nearly 100% implementation, (sciences like this stuff currently on the horizon: biometrics, genometrics, "non lethal" crowd suppression weaponry, etc, often blaze across the horizon like wildfire.) the science of control, both psychological and physical will have advanced to such near perfection, that there may be little for those few who have managed to become aware awake persons, to do but camoflage their true nature behind a mask that everyone else is wearing. The mask of slaves begging for their own enslavement - Of brutal base thuggish nationalism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's how fabulously sucessful the science of deception and control will become, has become - they think is now possible to condition people to beg for, and accept nothing less than, total brainwashing. They think they can condition us to think that anyone NOT wishing for such rigid indoctrination, is a threat - A terrorist.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But now since there are so many people who know the truth it is hard to put the genie back in the bottle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyone who is onto their game is considered a threat to the government/corporation, to be hunted down and eliminated. There will be no constitutional rights to protect humans from the rath of corporations. We are gripped by tyranny.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How many more plane crashes, civil wars, oil wars, civil unrests, genocides, suicides, document shreddings, car accidents and other accidents are going to keep on coincidentally, “just happening,” before people have the courage to stand up and fight for what’s right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our so called journalists won’t do it. Most of them don't have the requisite grey matter if they wanted to. And there is simply no major news corporation who will take on the hard work that voxnyc is doing. The silence from the monopoly news is cowardly - It is a lie of omission. And cowardly liars can only shrink the American mind - never liberate it. So turn off your televisions, cancel your subscriptions to USA Today, Times, Newsweek and all he rest of the paid advertisements posing as news and tune into the new forms of internet based media such as whatreallyhappened.com and voxnyc.com - They’re the only shows in town. With Billions of dollars at stake these industrialists behind Bush leave little for chance - all major media are complicit - the raw power grabs going on now make anything that previous filth like Nixon ever did, look like charity events. The New World Order power grab currently under way, has a tenacity not seen since Adolph Hitler. And by now they think they can get away with ANYTHING.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But there's no way that that is going to happen. Bucause at the level of muderous trechery that these tyrants are operating at, there will be betrayal within the ranks. One will open up and the whole house of cards will come tumbling down.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those who float to the top of this shadowy intelligence underworld like George Bush Sr can, at will, launch terror strikes at the American people and watch the twisted irony as their popularity temporarily soars. It’s the oldest trick in the book - the more American citizens they secretly kill and maim the more popular they become. The more soldiers they put in harms way for their own personal vendettas and profit motives the more fabulously wealthy they become. It’s a classic formula by now. It works EVERY time. One needs only to examine the history of the fabulously wealthy Bushes since the turn of the last century and you will see that it is their formula for arms and oil profits.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Dirty Bomb as Election Strategy - It’s Called “Public Relations”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Shadowy, “Public Relations,” heavyweights like the Bechtel Group, Wackenhut and a certain now infamous Carlyle group invest heavily only in eventualities that lead to the use of force to control populations. All are government contractors with deep ties to both intelligence agencies and the military. Wackenhut's specialty, incarceration. They run America’s prison systems. They also have their own very lethal private army - ditto for Bechtel Group. There needs to be an index graphing corporations according to statistics such as, say.... how many Automatic weapons their “Public Relations” division owns. (That issue needs to be on a national referendum along with a few others I’ll suggest later.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A quick rundown on the Carlyle group.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Carlyle Group is basically a group of the heaviest of heavyweight political insiders who buy failing military contractors at bargain basement prices. The reason why they buy the failing discounted companies is because the Defense Department appropriations guidelines requires that companies be in existence for a certain time before being allowed to enter government contracts, for the obvious reasons. Then, with all the requirements and appearances in place, they are free do insider deals with their buddies in government for this or that failed and obsolete weapons systems, cashing in big time yet seriously jeopardizing the security of the United States. That's the Carlyle Group in a nutshell. Who’s on the board of Carlyle Group? George Bush Sr, James Baker, John Major, It’s chairman is Frank Carlucci -former Defense Secretary and Princeton University wrestling teammate and pal of current Defence Secretary, Donald Rumsfeld. They tried to shove the appropriatly named Crusader tank down the throats of the military, but nearly unanimously, the military experts involved would have NONE of this 14 billion dollar waste of money. Still the politicos fought hard for this useless tank, and only sacrificed the program when it became crystal clear that had they continued pushing for this useless weapons system, it would have become the poster child of defense appropriations corruption and a lightning rod for critics.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Carlyle Group is undermining the defense of the United States of America and putting the lives of our children and families in serious jeopardy. It took an act of congress to get George Bush's father, Prescott Bush to halt his undermining of American security for profit, looks like the son and son's son are up to grand dad's old tricks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Terror works. History reveals that Americans will quickly cling to their nearest tyrant. As long as he’s an expert liar and doesn’t get caught in a sexual scandal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bush is well aware that murder, genocide, theft, financial criminality are all fine, so long as he doesn’t get caught with his dick in some intern’s mouth there is nothing that he can’t get away with. The more instances of the abrogation of basic civil and human rights he implements and the more instances of deception, terror, and war he subjects the American people and the world to, the more the American people willingly cede their long fought rights away. (no big deal here, really because few ever exercise them or know what they are) They have now ceded nearly all their savings (Only the wealthiest have money - the rest of Americans are flat broke.) Yet we are told that polls say more than half the American people approve of Bush? We are shown images on the major media of people waxing rapturously over Bush. We see images on our television of people getting choked up and clasping their hearts in upwellings of tender emotions when Bush appears before them with messages of mock concern for their well being. But in our daily life nearly everyone around us seems to hate this Bush President. Hmmm.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We’re getting polled all right.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It’s called the “fake out.” The news is fake - It’s just that simple. Ditto for the major public opinion polls as well. Nothing is left too chance. Since the 1950’s with the inception of Operation Mockingbird the CIA’s plan was to heavily infiltrate all the major media organizations. And they did just that! - Former Director of the CIA William Colby let the cat out of the bag when he quoted, “The Central Intelligence Agency owns everyone of any significance in the major media.” (Colby died in a "boating accident”)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The grand old man himself Walter Cronkite revealed the tip of the iceberg by admitting that he had “sometimes” relayed, as news, stories directly handed to him by the CIA. Dan Rather has long been known to be a CIA asset as well. The dark force has achieved the operational control of the mass media, this much is certain. The widely held belief that Jews control the media is only partly true, they may control the presses and the operations but the dark hand can force their hand at any time, so who is the master of the media? Considering the depth and level of deception which undergirds nearly every facet of American life there is nothing at all implausible to suggest that even the Nielson ratings themselves would in all probability be rigged as well. For they, single handedly, shape our culture, by detirmining what goes on the TV and what does not. And the neilsons are telling Americans that the TV show, COPS, which is about the debasement and control of populations - and the instilling of fear.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember one thing, assassinating presidents and slamming airliners into towers can sometimes be tricky, but infiltrating or buying polling organizations is a piece of candy. Nothing is left to chance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Polls are now made to appear to show any disapproval indications towards Bush to be largely split down party lines What this is, is a “masking” technique. Commonly used in psy-ops to couch the question in only two terms each less damaging than the real term which is masked by it’s exclusion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So if I were, say, the CIA and I was involved in the 9/11 attacks, and revelations were surfacing and shit was hitting the fan and evidence started surfacing linking CIA to the crime, I would immediatly mount a massive campaign to get all of my assets currently positioned at the major polling organizations to issue the following fraudulent poll nationwide:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Question1) Do you think that the CIA failed by overlooking key indicators of the impending attacks and possibly could have done more to prevent the atrocities of September 11th?&lt;br /&gt;choose one: Somewhat’ Maybe’ possibly’ probably not’&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Question 2) Do you think that the CIA did the best job they could given all the indicators they received?&lt;br /&gt;choose one: Huh’ Dunno’ What?’ I guess’&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is how it’s done people! By couching the scenario as only one of two possible benign turn of events you control the discourse and thus control the reality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They’ll never ask the real question:) “Do you think these CIA motherfuckers are behind the biggest mass murder in American history?”&lt;br /&gt;Because they might just get some write in responses they didn’t anticipate.&lt;br /&gt;Yes’ Definitely!’ Fuckin-a-bubba!’ Damn straight!’ You got that right dude!’&lt;br /&gt;(A Note To CIA personel: Individually most CIA personel are good people - no doubt about this. Most want to do good and fight crime. The problems are at the top - the leadership - almost certainly a, "Knight of Malta." The problems with the agency also are revealed when one does a cost benifit analysis of good vs evil. Voxnyc is claiming that if you are nice to the world's impovershed populations, you won't have to spend 400 billion dollars a year (combined military and intelligence) to constantly fuck them over. The problem with the CIA is in it's leadership and who it's leadership answers to (Hint - see, the Knights of Malta (Illuminati).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Agents within the CIA need to organize and reform it's very structure, but those truly honest and talented agents who see the disturbing patterns already know that they keep their ideas to themselves or they'll be doing casework in Baffin Island in the Arctic or Central Africa. (or some such hell hole)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Polls are designed to play to the publics predisposition that this country is split down party lines. Designed to make us think that there actually is a half the American Population who actually support Bush. That is just fucking laughable - it is false.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's what happens when you confront MOST Americans with the article you are now reading. At first people often throw up their hands and shake their heads. (They think you're from Mars.) But since they've never heard anything like it before, they continue. When they get to the part about the dinner date. Everyone stops and focuses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You see a light, light up in their eyes. They say, "Is that true?"&lt;br /&gt;You say, "100% true."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They continue, concentrating, silent. They know. They feel it. It’s very scary and that is why they would rather ignore it - but they feel it. Then they begin to open their minds.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And so like flowers I have seen people open up at just the reading of this paper alone. It is an alarm. It is a siren. And people are hearing it. They instinctively know the truth. Beneath this thin veil of patriotism people are very suspicious, people have a lot of pent up mistrust and frustration and they are ready to explode. They know they are being lied to. They know they were much better off before this return to the same old oil wars, same old energy crises, same old doublespeak. Same old COINTELPRO. Same old governance through deception and lies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Americans, already widely regarded by social critics to be the most lied to population on earth, are in for an onslaught of lies, assassinations, mysterious questionable suicides, plane crashes, etc, the likes of which are going to make the Nazis look like nice guys. (second referendum must outlaw (again) government officially sanctioned lies, misinformation, to knowingly plant misleading information, disrupt open political processes)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No we don’t support Bush. Very few actually do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But this fact will never be reported in the major media. This fact will be concealed by layers of fraudulent, “Public Opinion” polls, with leaning inflection and bias, that show our "overwhelming" support for Bush. That’s how it’s done. And even in the unlikely event that the resistance becomes so obvious so enormous so great, that even fraudulent polls can no longer conceal the reality, Bush knows he can simply ignore the polls, ignore opposition, label them unpatriotic cowards or worse “terrorists” who are “aiding the enemy.” At this point he is beyond public opinion. Public opinion doesn’t matter in the slightest. Only the military chain of command matters - nothing else - least of all public opinion. For even if by some fluke public opinion turned on him so irrefutably, well, he can simply re-manufacture it in all of one afternoon. With say... A Dirty Bomb.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just look at the public opinion polls the day before the September attacks - They all said that Bush was in serious political trouble. His popularity was at an all time low - and this coming from polling organizations largely influenced and associated with the Bush organization.&lt;br /&gt;But when those planes slammed into the towers, the Bush team knew that they had a winner. They could shape the public’s opinion’s into ANYTHING they want now, they thought.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And so some of the biggest scumbags on the face of the planet like Rudolph Guiliani and George Bush (both on their political balls of their asses), rebounded in all of one morning and rose to the status of Deities. Nearly Godlike. But that was just in the immediate aftermath of the WTC attacks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, months after the attack, the American people are facing record unemployment, the looting of the treasury is nearly complete, the social security trust fund is emptied, and the people are broke and they are pissed off. But guess what? It doesn’t matter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A few CIA polls later and hey, look at the poll! It shows nearly ninety five percent of the American People are giving their unbounded faith in Bushes handling of our "enemies." Sadly the few people who actually do "believe" they support Bush, will be unaware why they actually do “believe” they support Bush. In the Brave New World Order, often times by simply shouting it loud and long enough in a large enough mass medium, makes it so. That’s the power of propaganda. That’s the power of the corporate media. That’s the power of the big lie.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And it’s a simple task, since the Bush group already has the complicity of the major American opinion machines (CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX) in his game plan, the job of shaping public opinion becomes a simple matter. Like clay, they can shape it into any form they want.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Bush team knows that all it has to do is concoct the most titanic of deceptions for the American people, maim as many of them as he can, invent some credible enemy complete with a manufactured plausible “back story”, say, of bombing some embassies for example, then after executing the mock, (but very deadly) “terrorism,” on the American people, it becomes simply a matter of trotting out the usual suspects, “discovering, “ the pre-planted, “evidence,” and simply relaying the pre written, pre scripted feeble explanations, incomplete and suspicious excuses and blatantly fraudulent “evidence” and Americans will deny even what they see with their own eyes in lieu of whatever implausible evidence is thrown at them by the Bush team or as is the case with 9/11, no evidence at all - They’ll just have to take his word for it... for "national security" reasons, you understand.) Then Bush has only to sit back and watch as the American population is herded into a corral of fear where they will be kept under tight control while Bush and his buddies loot the treasury in order to “protect” the American people with (mock) technology (made in Republican controlled districts) to imbue the people with the comforting illusion of mock security. It works EVERY time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Time after time the Bushes have successfully defied the intelligence of billions of people world wide with the same old, “CIA book of dirty tricks,” stunts and gotten away with it. But they don’t fool us here at voxnyc. Our semeiotic analysis of George Bush Jr’s, eyes, forehead, speech patterns, vocal stress patterns, gestural positioning and stride point to only one conclusion - That he is hiding his father’s and possibly his own complicity in the World Trade Center Attacks. When the subject of the actual attacks on the towers came up, Bush, made some very telling anomalies. The most chilling of Bush’s "Slip Ups" was during a news conference sometime after the attack when asked how he felt the moment he heard of the attacks, Bush made a revealing deception.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Did you hear the news, the CIA just found a dirty bomb fragment stamped, “Made in Iraq.” Lets get um!.... Get the picture?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And so it goes. And so it will go. It is a Vox certainty. And so, some such evidence will be, “discovered,” implicating Iraq (who would have guessed). Saddam knows this. He feels it and he’s hunkering down waiting for the war. Soon Bombs will be raining down on Iraq. Many of them manufactured by Texas based arms manufacturers. The Texas economy will boom. The economies of the nonindustrial media based cities like New York and Los Angeles and San Francisco and Seattle and Portland will wane. That’s a big part of the plan. These places don’t vote for the same block of interests that the petrochemical - arms manufacturing axis do. We never vote for these Bush types. And we are NOT UNITED with them, contrary to the massive propagandizing that the Americans have been subjected to since Sept. 11th, would have us believe - This Southern based “axis of evil” has felt all along, put on the back burner. The Oil-Arms-heavy industry axis has felt the information age has passed them by. And so they have struck back - with a vengeance! And seized control once again from the media and “clean” industries of the north. So there is ironically once again a North - South struggle, although not central to this thesis on the invisible hand, is nevertheless yet another dicernable pattern. However long gone you believe these memes to be, they are there as plain to see and undeniable. (See Kennedy Assassination)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Saddam’s petting his cat a lot these days... Seriously!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reports have him in a worried state and constantly clutching at his pet cat. It’s a white long-hair and seldomly do you see Saddam without it. Always talking to it, calling it the Iraqi equivalent of “My Precious.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Saddam knows he’s being set up but there’s nothing he can do but sit and wait as a force he knows full well but could never prove works to plot his doom. He’s biting his nails a lot and the cat has to wear that funny cone around it’s head because it too has an itch it just can’t scratch.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Made in Iraq&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whatever feeble evidence the CIA presents implicating Iraq will be sufficient enough evidence for the hoards of American news watchers and news readers as the war drums start beating and Americans do what Americans do best - have another high tech armchair war.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With the evidence in place and ready to go, the bombs deployed at their designated location. When all is clear, Bushes teams get the “Go Code.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They ignite the bombs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hundreds of civilians in buildings (not related to companies that the Bush group own) will be killed -Several thousand more will have been subject to lethal doses of radiation and will die in the following months. The media will be replete with images of the horrors of radiation sickness, The American people will be whipped into a frenzy. A kill crazy rampage like the Germans before them. Property values in the Northeast and in the large cities will plummet. Houston and Dallas will be enjoying record growth due to the booming local economies centered on oil and arms. The cities in Florida will explode with a migration from the north.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Regular low level FBI and CIA agents, unaware they are being manipulated, will be brought in to, “discover” the pre-planted evidence which will conveniently point towards, you guessed it, Saddam Hussein.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The US military will begin air strikes against Iraq killing many thousands of Iraq’s impoverished citizens. Many US soldiers will be killed in George Bushes war to avenge his father’s honor. As usual the overt objectives will be about morals and the American way of life, blah, blah, blah... But to the trained eye the underlying motives will be the same as they’ve always been - money, resources, markets, ego, vengeance, shame - everything, except a shred of virtue, decency, conscience, humanitarianism, enlightenment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A note to US military servicemen&lt;br /&gt;Vox is on your side. We want to help you. We believe there needs to be new military exceptions to service. Servicemen need to have a special clause in their terms of enlistment that states, “If the war is an obvious ego driven war based on some retarded Junior President’s, “Daddy’s Big Penis Complex,” that the GI has a right to opt out of service. Thus saving himself from a needless vainglorious premature death.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Voxnyc supports our military men and we want to help save their lives! Each and every one of them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Welcome to Rome&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since the invention of this technique of, “Mass population control through self terrorism,” by the Romans and it’s perfection by Hitler’s Nazis the technique of attacking one’s own population then stepping up to be the, “protector” is proving to be the military/industrialist’s most reliable method of control for these problems called domestic populations. The American military used this technique at the turn of the 1900’s to wrest Cuba from Spain. We sank our own battleship the “Maine” and blamed it on the Spanish. The war cry the government designed and trumpeted throughout the American Press with the help of the Media Mogul at the time William Randolf Hearst was “Remember the Maine!” Not very sophisticated semeiotics but enough to rally the American population to support the land grab from Spain. Later we did the same thing in Vietnam in what was known as the “Gulf of Tonklin Incident.” The military set up it’s own ship to get bombed by the Vietnamese so we could invade.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the most recent revelation of this treasonous technique, documents were unearthed showing that in 1961 the Joint Chiefs of Staff devised detailed plans to kill Americans and blame it on Cuba as a pretext to invasion. The following are some highlights from the Joint Chief’s action plan. “We could blow up a US ship in Guantanamo bay and blame Cuba”, “We could develop a Communist Cuban Terror campaign in Miami, Florida or Washington,” “We could foster the attempts on lives of Cuban in the United States wounding them in instances to be widely publicized.,” Exploding a few plastic bombs in carefully chosen spots... ”Use of MIG type aircraft by US pilots could harass US civil air, attack US surface shipping and destroy a US military drone aircraft. An F-86 properly painted would convince air passengers that they saw a Cuban MIG.” By the time these military wacko’s plans reached the then President Kennedy’s desk, Kennedy killed the plan straightaway. See the actual document for yourself Operation Northwoods then ask yourself if it’s possible that the guys that drew up this document could possibly be the same guys who would plot to kill Kennedy rather then wait to be fired by Kennedy which Kennedy was doing at an accelerated rate. The Answer is: They killed him before Kennedy fired them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The American people, sadly, in their current state will follow like lambs to the slaughter like we have been doing for the past 50 years, like the Germans before and the Romans before them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Bush Group leads the darkest criminal triad of oil, arms and political insiders in the history of the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The patterns of wars, assassinations, and covert deals involving generation after generation of Bushes is astonishing. Had the Bushes not always aligned themselves with the core of intelligence agencies all throughout the century, without a doubt their criminal exploits would be laid bare or they wouldn’t have committed them in the first place. But not so when the grand patriarch (Bush Sr.) was once the head of CIA then President. There’s no one left to investigate him. And while he was President he succeeded in erasing and expunging nearly any record of his families and his own misdeeds or for that matter ANY records of the Bushes deeds from the official record. There is more, Missing, information about the Bush's Presidency than any other President ever.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Welcome to the fourth Reich. It's shaping up to be a bloodbath.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This highly covert group of intelligence operators has one modus operandi, they are brokers - trading the blood of young American soldiers for one hundred times the blood of the impoverished people unfortunate to inhabit land whose resources US industrialists thirst for.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Bushes Have NEVER waged war with any population except the very poorest of the Earth’s poor - The impoverished, shirtless and barefooted populations of Vietnam, Cambodia, Cuba, Guatamala, Nicaragua, El Salvador, and on and on. And now we are at war with Afganistan - The country with the lowest per capita expenditure on military in the world, right behind Cambodia. That's courage!&lt;br /&gt;(The only historical exception to this rule of decimating only impoverished populations is when Prescott Bush, George Sr’s father eagerly financed the Hitler war machine as it rampaged throughout Europe.)&lt;br /&gt;Bushes Jr.’s. grandfather and great grandfather were both merchants of death. The great Grandfather was involved with the Remington Arms Manufacturing Company when, during World War One - they sold 3/4 of all light armaments used in that war - to both sides!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is what they do - This is ALL they do.&lt;br /&gt;(Vox challenges any Bush spokesman or defender to prove otherwise)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As Director of Union Bank, Prescott Bush eagerly financed the Nazis. It took an act of Congress to order him to cease and desist in aiding Hitler. But is was too late. The family fortune had already been made. And if you know how old families with old money work you will know that they are all very intimate with where their family fortune came from. The Bush men haven’t forgot - their money flows from blood.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Trading blood for money - That's what the Bushes do - THAT'S ALL THEY DO!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As brokers their fee is: All they can grab in the exchange of arms and energy futures - The spoils and plunder of last of the petrol-wars.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The principle objective of the Bush group’s terrorist attacks on American citizens is to consolidate total power - military, police, intelligence, and after the first three, political - in the hands of George Bush Jr. But short of that, the Bushes will be satisfied with their typical “Fallback” objectives - The time honored four year stint at wholesale looting of the treasury, through insider arms dealing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Handlers, the Handled, the Puppets, and the Puppetmasters.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is clear from all historical statistics that George Bush (the son) would not stand a chance at the polls in the next elections. In all similar dire economic situations in American history the incumbent president was unable to achieve reelection. With this in mind and considering the historical facts surrounding the shadowy Bush dynasty it becomes crystal clear to those with a trained eye that it is more likely than not that it was the forces allied behind the Bush group of industries that were behind the 9/11 attacks as a means of ramping up the kinds of intelligence networks that come in handy for things such as a stubborn electorats come election time or some nation unfortunate enough to be sitting on oil or any geostrategic asset which will enhance their arms or petrochemical empires. just as it will be the forces allied behind bush who will be the ones behind the “Dirty Bomb”, and NOT Bin Laden directing his jihad from a cave somewhere.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bin Laden’s forces will undoubtedly be manipulated into actually being the handlers of the dirty bomb, that much is for sure, but the key point is that, they themselves are being "handled."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the insular, cellular networks of both espionage and terrorism there one similarity to bear in mind - They are structured nearly identically in terms of hierarchy and secrecy and the cellular nature of both. And they all know the game. The key is that it is clandestine US forces who are setting the Islamic militants up, steering them in the right direction, putting the bomb in their hands, leaving the door open, showing them which door is open, preparing and planting all the evidence and possibly providing them with direct financing. Much has been made of Bin Laden’s paltry 230 million dollars that he is alleged to have. News flash - he's penniless. Except for whatever allowance his US handlers decide to funnel to him. Bin Laden may have been a puppet all along. Witting or unwitting there is a high probability that he was either knowingly working for the US group or was minipulated by them. It's even possible that he thought they would take him all the way but now he has lost his servicability and has been cut loose and he's running scared. Unable to come forth because he is the most wanted man. He may be unable to tell the world the true nature of his handler (US based) because they would kill him in the Arab world. And such admission would implicate him in the largest mass murder (second only to Bushes' mass murder) Just like the puppetmasters of yesterday overinflated the Russian threat in order to reap arms manufacturing profits off the backs of American workers the puppetmasters of today have puffed up this Saudi militant to be the excuse they use to push American industry, and hegemony up into the ass of Central Asia and from the inside dominate and control Eurasia. Just look at a map. Afghanistan, Turkmenistan and the tactical dream prize Uzbekistan. These countries comprise the "Asshole of Central Asia."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's an Irony, because literally and figuratively, it is up the ass that America is going to give it to the continent and people of Eurasia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The real force behind the terrorism, is US based and is at the very highest levels of the power elite. They are the true "Puppetmasters."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No doubt Bin Laden’s men are executing the strikes. But the “door” is being "left open" by someone here. This is the key. But the American people are being distracted from seeing this repeating pattern. By focusing attention on the puppets (Islamic warriors) the puppetmasters have successfully distracted us from seeing the real force behind these titanic shifts of power.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A North/South struggle? Well actually, yes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you look at the ensuing power shift that has occurred in America you will see that it also correlates with the thesis that the Bush group of industrialists is behind the Attacks on America. You will see that the media rich northern cities in America are suffering at a much higher degree than the industrial/south axis are. You will see that the tight circle of industries that have been traditionally in the bush camp (oil and arms) are prospering enormously. While all the northern cities, who never voted for Bushes anyway, are doing terribly. And while of course there are certain "crossover industries," such as capital and technology (that can play both ends of the field), you will see a clear divide between two camps. The one hand comprising the clean, media rich, service and financial intense industries of the North and on the other hand you have the dirty, arms, petrochemical, manufacturing and heavy industry intense industries of the South (and midwest).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You are witnessing the titanic last gasps of a dying industrial paradigm. Oil, heavy industry, all soon to be dinosaurs on a planet that is simply running out of oil, are all convulsing in one last final desperate grab at power the only way they have left - with airliners slamming into towers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Diplomacy and politics no longer "get the job done." These forces are using direct action. Terrorism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sure Bin Laden's men are carrying out the strikes but make no mistake about it, someone here, left the door open a little too wide for a thinking person to believe it was a mistake&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And they're going to do it again.&lt;br /&gt;It’s just too obvious to avoid. We should all be talking about it, shouting it out from the rooftops, writing letters to our congressman (or tying them to rocks and throwing them through their windows.) Our future’s at stake. And the City of New York is at stake. And the lives of Americans is at stake. It is clear in our analysis that there are too many corollaries and similarities to ignore that point directly to military intelligence involvement in the September 11th attack on the Twin Towers and the Pentagon. There are too many facts swirling around these suspicious events that bear the hallmarks of a planned military intelligence style operation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The stories put out by our government are FAKE and 95% of all corporate "news" is pure fabrication&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are to many suspicious unexplained and uncorroborating questions such as the much hyped mystery stock deals discovered in the immediate days following the attack.&lt;br /&gt;When the questionable stock purchase was traced and linked (by a German investigative team - not our FBI or CIA) to the brokerage house (Brown and co.) of the number 2 man at the CIA, Buzz Krongard, the story took the most precipitous dive into oblivian since the eighties when the story broke that Scott Hinkley (brother of the unsuccessful assassin, John Hinkley) was supposed to dine on the night of the attempt on then President Reagan's life with Vice President Bush's son Neil. Had the old family friend John Hinckley been successful Bush was "waiting in the wings" to take power. Like his fellow Texan, Vice President Lyndon Johnson did, 20 years prior, when, also in Texas, the same industrial axis assassinated President John F. Kennedy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That Hinkeley-Bush connection story was obliterated in the days following the assassination attempt, just like nearly any reference to the much vaunted and much hyped airline stock connection story was expunged from any reference or further discussion when all leads in that story pointed to the number two man at CIA - Krongard. Don't take my word for it. If you care about your life and that of your children, get out your google search engine and look it up for yourself. Your life depends on it. Type in (Krongard CIA airline) - that should get you what little scraps remain of that story, but it's a biggy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What should have been the biggest story of the eighties (the Bush / Hinkeley dinner date) was wiped clean from history, and now this connection between the stock transactions and a direct link to the CIA has also been systematically killed from ever being mentioned by corporate media.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It must be just a coincidence because everyone knows that the CIA would never do any evil things such as this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the immediate days following the attacks, when the story of the "airline short sells" first broke it was vaunted as the key to uncovering the true persons behind the attack, and before the evidence came in implicating the CIA boss, all fingers pointed to Bin Ladin as the culprit. But when the FACTS came in from abroad linking the transaction DIRECTLY TO THE NUMBER TWO MAN AT CIA, THE STORY WAS NEVER HEARD AGAIN, EVER!&lt;br /&gt;Our government expects us to believe that in this age of Echelon where nearly every transaction, e-mail and phone call is accessible to the NSA that they are "baffled" by who actually made the short sells of those Airline stocks the day before the 9/11 attacks. The stock transactions were placed at the brokerage house (Brown) which just happened to be the brokerage house where the number two man at the CIA (Buzz Krongard) was the CEO of. Hmmmmm.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sure We Believe You... NOT&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People are not THAT stupid. More and more people each day are getting very tired of all this and undergoing rapid change in their formerly closely held beliefs. They don't trust the government. They know the government is lying, they sense very strongly that the government is the one behind the September 11th attacks. They are being propagandized to at a level never before seen. And their anger is building. And there are indications here and there that the secret government's neatly constructed plot is fraying at the edges. There's too many stories out there for them to manage and ALL of them seem like they can unravel at a moments notice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's a big fat government LIE check it out for yourself&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm talking about the extraordinarily suspicious obviously staged propaganda event which needs immediate independent scrutiny on a national scale. The news release (CIA) read that, Mohammed Atta supposedly had a meeting with a loan officer from the US Agriculture Dept. in order to buy an airplane, strip it of it's seats and transform the plane into a massive flying tank. During this so-called meeting he is alleged to have blurted out reference after reference to terrorism, the "Great" Bin Laden and allegedly grew fascinated by a satellite photo of Washington DC hanging in the woman’s office upon which he supposedly grilled the bureaucrat about the various landmarks of Washington and pressured her to sell the photo to him. (Voxfux gives this story the “Most suspicious propaganda plant of the month award for May 2002)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now you think about it for a moment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They want us to believe their story, that this man who supposedly masterminded the most notorious and dramatic military strike in the history of notorious and dramatic military strikes (except possibly Hiroshima), all the while planning and infiltrating the deepest cover to pull off this attack. And we’re supposed to believe that he just walked into a US government office and blurted out the whole plan to some US Government loan officer? Voxfux recommends that a congressional and extra-governmental inquiry starts diving into these stories one by one and start to unravel these blatant and naked lies issued by our government, paid for by our tax dollars, to deceive and manipulate the American population, before this US based secret group of American terrorist industrialists destroys our cities and the very fabric of our nation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Independent investigators need to look into these fabricated, disinformational , misinformational, fraudulent intelligence based media psy-op cover stories. The story is a fake plain and simple, designed by a clandestine force using the "doppelganger" technique. This is the technique used by intelligence units to set someone up. A look-alike is sent into situations to "Make his presence felt."&lt;br /&gt;To make obvious references and connections to the crime which will soon happen. This creates a body of witnesses who in many cases genuinely believe that they saw what they saw. With this evidence and these unwitting witnesses the case to incriminate whoever the target of their impersonation is becomes nearly rock solid. And even if the government produced the videotapes (which they have not) which surely would have existed on every corner and building that Atta had to have walked by in order to get to the Agriculture loan office it still would not mean a thing. We know nothing about the possibly completely fictional and manipulated figures such as Atta and even Bin Laden for that matter. Bin Laden for all we know is bait - dangling on a hook. A paid provacateur - A nurtured pretext for US geostrategists to use for their push for Eurasian hegemony. Or he could be the real thing, an cunning Arab militant - It doesn't matter - either way his handlers are American.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now let me take you one step further - It's highly possible that the Al Queda operatives or whoever these men were who boarded the planes that morning, didn't even know that it was a suicide mission&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's right. Considering the brazeness of this US secret group and the confidence that this group has that they can simply script the most outrageous scenarios and then execute them (literally) It is not a stretch of the imagination to suggest that it is quite possible that this group simply gave the young terrorists instructions to perform the bloody and dramatic throat cuttings in the main cabin of the plane then go get the pilots and sit in the cockpit believing their handlers when they told them that the plane would be remotely piloted to some Arabic country in a spectacular hijacking, but that they would land in safety.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is an example of the setting up of a whole nation or race of people based on the carefull preparation of a couple of "Fall Guys" of that same race or nation. This wouldn't be the first time that our military at the highest levels played fast and loose with setting up people as terrorists to use as political evidentiary fodder and as a pretext to a military invasion. This setting up evidence and incrimination works every time. Remember all the cellular phone calls from the passengers who would witness the throat slitting? The stories about their last calls to their loved ones was replete with juicy incriminating morcels for feed the media circus which followed all pointing directly to, "Islamic Terrorists"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is NOT implausible even to suggest that their instructions might have been to "mock" slit the throats of someone on the plane who was involved in the plot as well. Possibly they were told that there was going to be no violence at all during their plan - maybe they were told that they were going to make a remotely piloted spectacular "fly-by" of New York City and then the planes would continue onto Afghanistan. To safety. Maybe it was as much a surprise to the eager young politically idealistic militant Islamic warriors when their planes were remotely slammed directly into the towers instead of right by them, as it was to us. But because a shadow government operates the US in complete secrecy, NOT YOUR "ELECTED " OFFICIALS - you will never know.&lt;br /&gt;So instead, know this... it is not only entirely possible and plausible, it is by all accounts completely probable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If we were to apply the same standard of, "Justice," to the Bush family as we have applied to the young gang member now held in military custody, then the entire Bush family would be imprisoned and summarily executed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finding the handlers who work for the puppetmaster is the key that will unravel the Bush group.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One place to start is to identify the thousand CIA agents who were fired by Admiral Stansfield Turner in 1977 under the orders of President Carter. These disgruntled agents whose speciality was assassinations and election rigging, swore revenge and turned their allegiance to then CIA Director, George Bush Sr. essentially saying, “What next boss.” Now as "Free Agents," there was and is virtually zero restraint or oversight or accountability or even knowledge of their wherabouts or doings - They could do whatever they want. Payments would have been arranged for the agents to continue their service to Bush instead of the US Government through a series of insulating intermediaries. Bush, for sure would have constructed layers of buffers and plausible deny-ability between himself and his squad of private spooks. There may be only two or three persons who Bush trusts enough to be aware of his private clandestine army. Possibly Rumsfeld and Baker are the most prominent and likely to be aware of the schemes. Oil and Arms industrialists linked to Bush would gladly pick up the agents salaries (A mere drop in the bucket compared to the service the agents were sure to perform in exchange. One of these Bush private contractors surfaced during the 2000 campaign election disaster when the story broke that a “retired” CIA Agent, Charles W. Cane was caught with his hand in the cookie jar - actually the ballot box. He was caught “correcting” ballots in the Florida’s Martin County during the election rigging of 2000. And who do you think he was correcting them in favor of? That's right, George Bush. Cane is one of the few of the thousand fired back in 1977 and who went to work for Bush who ever floated to the surface. Most you can never expect to identify.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the end, the result of this privately held intelligence organization was some of the most suspicious events in the past three decades starting with the October Surprise, which led to the theft of the 1980 election, The attempted assassination of Ronald Reagan, the first Iraqi war for oil and many more of Bushes greatest hits.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is the same group who is going to "Leave the door open." again&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The search for this, “gatekeeper,” to American Terrorism should be the central task of any law enforcement professional now. But it’s not going to be easy. Each day the invisible hand throws new tid bits of dis-info, mis-info, info-overload, threats and diversions to deflect the progress of any serious investigation. And their diversionary tactics are enough to occupy nearly 90% of all agents working for the agencies, to keep them busy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For example, Remember the damaging revelations that “BUSH KNEW” in advance of the terrorist strikes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do you remember what happened the following day? The following day the CIA suddenly announced that they had just picked up some “Chatter,” as they called it in “LieSpeak,” satellite phone activity which indicated another terrorist strike was eminent possibly immediately. The Bush team, who had been backed into the corner about the revelations about to explode on his presidency, released a bomb of their own - a fabricated “Fear Bomb.” And that was it - Bushes political tangle evaporated instantly. That is the power of fear and ignorance as a systematic method of control. The media and the American people never even mentioned the revelations of prior knowledge any more, all they talked about was, “Did you hear the news, Bin Laden is going to attack again this weekend!” And so the simpleminded, sheep-minded, cowardly American population, instead of standing up and revolting against this naked diversionary tactic, cowered under the dim blue glow of their cathode ray tubes as it delivered it’s dose of fear, hate and ignorance directly to their brains.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Terrorism works 100% of the time. Terrorism is the most fail-safe method of control. It works every time!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Where are the true heros? (not at the top where they should be.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hopefully there will be some “insiders,” intelligence agents who still have their critical capacity intact and are aware that something’s terribly wrong with the whole chain of events. These agents must break away and independently research the very suspicious details that have been uncovered thus far and squelched. A few areas which need investigation outside of official intelligence and law enforcement agencies: Follow up on the airline stock “short sells”, the terrorist flight training schools in FLORIDA, the jihad manuals found . The possible dopplegangers going around making their presence obviously felt, especially the very suspicious Atta/loan officer story. That story is a dis-info cover story.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also look at the Bin Laden "confession" tape forgery and the very suspicious circumstances surrounding it. Look at the selected still frames comparing the real Bin Laden with the fraudulent Bin Laden as seen in the tape. (Nearly ALL Europeans news agencies believe the tape to be a forgery ONLY American news agencies accept the tape as real and make no mention of the overwhelming GLOBAL accusation that the tape is a fraud. (Use your own eye and mind) See for yourself Fraudulent Bin Laden Video. Like the phony "Oswald Backyard Photos" of yesterday, this video is a fraud. It's typical fabricated evidence, manufactured by the scientists of deception - in the dark shadowy underworld of clanestine power politics.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Osama Bin Laden was manufactured by the CIA&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For the purpose of a ready made pretext for a push into Central Asia - which is the principle focus of all power grabs emanating from the upper echelons of the power elite based in the United States. Just as Oswald was designed to be the patsy in the Kennedy assassination, Osama is set up to take the fall for all this terrorism and be the excuse Bush uses as to why we had to invade CENTRAL ASIA and be custodians for all that oil there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Dark forces who own and operate the United States no longer have any credible third world adversaries to use as a pretext to invade and plunder so they create them, nurture them, like Oswald was nurtured to be the fall guy in the Kennedy assassination, Bin Ladin is our excuse to move into resource rich central Asia... and get the oil from those nasty Arabs ta-boot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is the clearest analysis that is possible considering the pattern of events, historical precedent, personalities and psychological profiles of the individuals involved. The events are flowing with the regularity and precision and characteristic indications of a military/intelligence Psy-op. As the unoriginal politicians love to say, “Make no mistake about it.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;vox&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Notes:&lt;br /&gt;If this first radiological bomb is not enough to scare the American population into cowering under the protection of George Bush then The Bush cabal will simply declare martial law.&lt;br /&gt;Then, even the sheep-like American population will object (slightly) but by that time, public opinion will be of little concern to the Bush group. Opinion will rapidly turn against Bush.&lt;br /&gt;But to no avail. With the very sovereignty of the United States in "jeopardy" the Bush operators know that public opinion doesn’t matter in the slightest. Only the military chain of command matters and in this area there are signs of slippage. It is not clear just how securely Bush's hand's are on the reigns of power. They are of course conjuring strategies of staying on beyond their term by means of a terror strategy in the days leading to the next presidential election, it will almost assuredly play out in one or two ways:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) They will strike a northern American City with a radiological bomb. The terror strike and accompanying Psychological Operation alone is enough to cause a massive wave of public opinion swing. (From the double digit losses, he will almost assuredly be suffering, before the attacks to an easy reversal and victory. It will be the first time in history where the attacks become an integral real time scripted addition to the campaign commercials of presidential campaigns. Well actually, the second time. Bush's Irianian hostage crisis of 1979 was the first time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The campaign commercials will already be manufactured complete with ominous theme and upwelling moments when Bush surveys the radiation zone, long before the actual attacks occur. Once the attacks occur it becomes a simple matter of inserting the attack video into the right places, chroma-keying the already prepared graphic elements over the attack videos and relaying the spots for the media to deliver to our minds. Learn to spot Lie-Bombs. They are everywhere. The storyboards of the attack and campaign plan are most certainly in the works as you read this. Once the script is written and approved it becomes a simple matter to execute the plan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;or&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) If the terror strike that his forces unleash on Americans does NOT reverse the double digit percentage points that he will certainly be trailing by whoever the challenger is, then Bush may use the attack as an excuse to delay the changeover of government in the interests of National Security.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It will be explained that the only way they can protect America is to keep the current administration on with "fast track" powers on all matters, legislative, judicial, executive firmly in the hands of the administration.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then, even new techniques and expertise in election monitoring will fail during the next presidential election after that, if ever. The forces on the Bush team have sworn to use the, “magicians art,” to, “do what’s right” - to steal the election once again for the Bush cabal. The “Magicians Art,” which is now old school standard operations for ex-intelligence now private contractors for the “Bush Triad,” of oil/arms/and political insiders is the technique they will employ to exploit weaknesses in the next election. There will be a moment when the boxes containing the ballots will be near a wall or occlusion - that will be the moment where the swap occurs. “Election Monitors,” with all the best intentions are no match for the skills of a competent intelligence operative who has been researching the switch techniques in the months approaching the next election over and over again. What’s more, in states like Florida and Texas, these operatives will have full and complete access to the polling facilities in advance and will know every corner, every occlusion, every procedure, every step, every corridor, every avenue those ballot boxes will traverse between the place the votes are cast and the place where the counting will occur. There will assuredly be ten or twenty moments where the boxes will leave the direct eyesight of election monitors, this will be when the operatives who have been rehearsing the switch for almost a year will make the swap.&lt;br /&gt;Short of actually having trusted observers from an independant party or extra-governmental agency actually handcuffed to the boxes, it may no longer be possible, considering the personalities and histories of the persons involved, to assure whether or not there will ever be a fair election again.&lt;br /&gt;_________________&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"And it seems to me perfectly in the cards that there will be within the next generation or so a pharmacological method of making people love their servitude, and producing … a kind of painless concentration camp for entire societies, so that people will in fact have their liberties taken away from them but will rather enjoy it, because they will be distracted from any desire to rebel by propaganda, brainwashing, or brainwashing enhanced by pharmacological methods."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aldous Huxley, 1959 &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9231765-110348787129292001?l=ne033x.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ne033x.blogspot.com/feeds/110348787129292001/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9231765&amp;postID=110348787129292001' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9231765/posts/default/110348787129292001'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9231765/posts/default/110348787129292001'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ne033x.blogspot.com/2004/12/secrets-of-george-bush-family.html' title='Secrets of the George Bush Family'/><author><name>ne033x</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16152580291069122603</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9231765.post-110107125153651227</id><published>2004-11-21T22:06:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2004-11-21T22:53:01.293+01:00</updated><title type='text'>CIA MASTER LIST - rough</title><content type='html'>&lt;a name="A"&gt;A&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Abbott, Alfred P.O.

In lengthy front-page articles, The Washington Post, New York Times and Los Angeles Times deemed an investigative series by Gary Webb of the San Jose Mercury News flawed and simplistic. The papers claimed victory when Webb's editor Jerry Ceppos agreed that the original series wasn't perfect.&lt;br /&gt;Now, the other shoe is falling. The inspectors general of the CIA and the Justice Department are completing investigations that will clear the CIA and the Justice Department of wrongdoing. The results of those investigations were leaked out in mid- December, but scheduled releases of the actual reports were postponed. The delays meant that the supposed findings could get major media play without any examination of the underlying facts.&lt;br /&gt;According to the Justice Department, Attorney General Janet Reno requested a delay in that report's release for "law- enforcement reasons." Department officials would not specify what those reasons were, but apparently there is fear that the report contains information that might jeopardize an ongoing federal criminal case.&lt;br /&gt;A broader CIA investigation into the question of Nicaraguan contra connections to the drug trade -- outside CIA control -- continues. But it is unclear how much information the spy agency will divulge, especially given the mainstream media's eagerness to put the issue to rest.&lt;br /&gt;Those, like Webb, who challenged the official orthodoxy on the CIA's innocence have paid dearly. Webb was pushed into resigning his job, a purge made official with an announcement by the Mercury News on Dec. 12. Reached at his home in California, Webb said he is working on a book about his experiences.&lt;br /&gt;Still, the new government reports whenever issued seem likely to pour just one more layer of cover-up on top of an already thick foundation. Over the past half century, the federal government -- and the Washington news media -- have never accepted what appears as obvious fact to many outsiders: that CIA covert actions and drug trafficking go together like horse and carriage, like hand and glove, like Tweedle-Dum and Tweedle-Dee.&lt;br /&gt;DRUG TRAILS&lt;br /&gt;You might use this article as a guide for reading between the lines of whatever official words are uttered in the new government reports and press stories that follow.&lt;br /&gt;The first test will be whether the new government reports face up to the seamy history. In particular, look for any reference to two heroin-stained covert operations: in Indochina in the 1960s and '70s and in Afghanistan in the 1980s. Both were well documented by Alfred McCoy in his landmark book, The Politics of Heroin.&lt;br /&gt;The second point of reference will be how the reports finesse the overwhelming evidence of Nicaraguan contra-connected cocaine trafficking. This unsavory reality was documented ad nauseam in "Drugs, Law Enforcement and Foreign Policy," a 1989 Senate Foreign Relations report based on hearings chaired by Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass.&lt;br /&gt;The new reports also might have some difficulty explaining past admissions by frank senior government officials. Gen. Paul F. Gorman, head of the U.S. Southern Command, acknowledged in 1984 that "substantial evidence links drugs, money and arms networks in Central America. The fact is, if you want to go into the subversion business, collect intelligence, and move arms, you deal with drug movers."&lt;br /&gt;Gorman knew what he was talking about, situated as he was in Panama City, next door to Gen. Manuel Noriega, who had been recruited by CIA director William J. Casey and Lt. Col. Oliver L. North to help the contras. Noriega, of course, is now incarcerated in federal prison for drug trafficking.&lt;br /&gt;While Noriega helped the contras from the south, the Honduran military and other drug-connected friends pitched in from the north. One was Juan Ramon Matta Ballesteros, whose rap sheet dates back at least to 1970 when he was arrested at Dulles Airport on drug-related charges and was sentenced to five years in prison. Matta escaped before spending a year behind bars.&lt;br /&gt;By 1975, Matta had linked Mexican and Colombian traffickers, giving a major boost to the fledgling cocaine industry. Three years later, Matta financed a coup d'etat by the military in his native Honduras, a putsch that transformed the banana republic into a transit point for northbound white powder.&lt;br /&gt;By 1983, Matta had been identified in a U.S. Customs report as a Class I DEA violator. He also was linked by the DEA to an airline with the acronym, SETCO, that was run by "American businessmen dealing with Matta [and] smuggling narcotics into the United States."&lt;br /&gt;Despite such lineage, SETCO was hired as "the principal company used by the contras in Honduras to transport supplies and personnel ... from 1983 to 1985," according to the Senate Foreign Relations report. Then, despite Matta's tie to the 1985 murder of star DEA agent Enrique Camarena in Guadalajara, Mexico, the State Department in 1986 renewed SETCO's contract to supply the contras.&lt;br /&gt;Matta is now serving dual life sentences for murder and narcotics trafficking. You might look his name up in the indexes to the new government contra-cocaine reports. [For more details from a non-government source, see Cocaine Politics by Peter Dale Scott and Jonathan Marshall.]&lt;br /&gt;NARCO-TERRORISTS&lt;br /&gt;Another name worth checking out is that of Syrian-born Manzer Al-Kassar, who boasts a similar drug resume -- and a relationship with the U.S. government.&lt;br /&gt;Reader's Digest reported in 1986 that Al-Kassar had supplied arms and explosives "for terrorist operations in France, Spain and Holland" and sold "silencer-equipped assassination pistols, rockets and other weapons" to Libya, Iran, South Yemen and Lebanon." The article also linked Al-Kassar to heroin deals involving up to 100 kilos (220 pounds). Two years earlier, the DEA had classified Al-Kassar as a major drug trafficker.&lt;br /&gt;Yet, when the Reagan administration's Iran-contra operations were exposed in 1986, the ledgers of Oliver North's "Enterprise" revealed that it had paid $1.5 million for contra arms shipments to the same Manzer Al-Kassar. See how that is explained.&lt;br /&gt;Then, there's the more recent case of former Venezuelan Gen. Ramon Guillen Davila. A year ago, Guillen was indicted on charges of shipping up to 22 tons of cocaine to the United States between 1987 and 1991. According to the Miami Herald, Guillen was the CIA's most trusted man in Venezuela and the senior official collaborating with the CIA on narcotics control.&lt;br /&gt;Guillen claims the CIA knew all along what he was doing. To date he has successfully resisted extradition, but an accomplice, Adolfo Romero Gomez, was convicted in Miami last October on cocaine trafficking charges. A key witness testified that he overheard Romero and Guillen discussing deals with the Cali cartel.&lt;br /&gt;You might check, too, to see how the new reports deal with DEA agents who tried to blow the whistle during the 1980s. Just as the contra-connected drug trade was heating up, the Reagan administration closed the DEA office in Honduras. But from Guatemala City, DEA agent Celerino Castillo III began investigating reports of illegal drug activity at the Ilopango air base in El Salvador, the home of North's contra resupply operation.&lt;br /&gt;As Castillo describes in his autobiography, Powder Burns, his reports on the drug trafficking of contra suppliers were initially ignored. Later, they were criticized for grammatical errors. Then, he was told to stay away from El Salvador and threatened with charges of improper conduct. Finally, after receiving threats against his family, he quit.&lt;br /&gt;Another curiosity -- given the CIA's 50 years of covert activities, often side by side with drug traffickers -- is the absence of a single publicly known criminal charge against a CIA officer for succumbing to the temptation to accept a bribe or to abuse the job's secrecy by aiding and abetting a drug shipment.&lt;br /&gt;Perhaps, the new government reports -- whenever the American citizenry is allowed to peruse them -- will explain how the CIA found and recruited individuals of such exemplary character.&lt;br /&gt;Copyright (c) 1998&lt;br /&gt;* THE CONSORTIUM *&lt;br /&gt;For Independent Journalism&lt;br /&gt;Web: &lt;a href="http://www.delve.com/consort.html"&gt;http://www.delve.com/consort.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;E-mail: &lt;a href="mailto:rparry@ix.netcom.com"&gt;rparry@ix.netcom.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Volume 3, No. 1 (Issue 53) - January 5, 1998 -&lt;br /&gt;-----&lt;br /&gt;CONSORTIUM ON-LINE OR MAIL SUBSCRIPTIONS&lt;br /&gt;ON LINE: 1 year (26 issues) - $10.

HAGER'S INVESTIGATION INTO IT AND HIS DISCOVERY OF THE ECHELON DICTIONARY HAS REVEALED ONE OF THE WORLD'S BIGGEST, MOST CLOSELY HELD INTELLIGENCE PROJECTS. THE SYSTEM ALLOWS SPY AGENCIES TO MONITOR MOST OF THE WORLD'S TELEPHONE, E-MAIL, AND TELEX COMMUNICATIONS.&lt;br /&gt;For 40 years, New Zealand's largest intelligence agency, the Government Communications Security Bureau (GCSB) the nation's equivalent of the US National Security Agency (NSA) had been helping its Western allies to spy on countries throughout the Pacific region, without the knowledge of the New Zealand public or many of its highest elected officials. What the NSA did not know is that by the late 1980s, various intelligence staff had decided these activities had been too secret for too long, and were providing me with interviews and documents exposing New Zealand's intelligence activities. Eventually, more than 50 people who work or have worked in intelligence and related fields agreed to be interviewed.&lt;br /&gt;The activities they described made it possible to document, from the South Pacific, some alliance-wide systems and projects which have been kept secret elsewhere. Of these, by far the most important is ECHELON.&lt;br /&gt;Designed and coordinated by NSA, the ECHELON system is used to intercept ordinary e-mail, fax, telex, and telephone communications carried over the world's telecommunications networks. Unlike many of the electronic spy systems developed during the Cold War, ECHELON is designed primarily for non-military targets: governments, organizations, businesses, and individuals in virtually every country. It potentially affects every person communicating between (and sometimes within) countries anywhere in the world.&lt;br /&gt;It is, of course, not a new idea that intelligence organizations tap into e-mail and other public telecommunications networks. What was new in the material leaked by the New Zealand intelligence staff was precise information on where the spying is done, how the system works, its capabilities and shortcomings, and many details such as the codenames.&lt;br /&gt;The ECHELON system is not designed to eavesdrop on a particular individual's e-mail or fax link. Rather, the system works by indiscriminately intercepting very large quantities of communications and using computers to identify and extract messages of interest from the mass of unwanted ones. A chain of secret interception facilities has been established around the world to tap into all the major components of the international telecommunications networks. Some monitor communications satellites, others land-based communications networks, and others radio communications. ECHELON links together all these facilities, providing the US and its allies with the ability to intercept a large proportion of the communications on the planet.&lt;br /&gt;The computers at each station in the ECHELON network automatically search through the millions of messages intercepted for ones containing pre-programmed keywords. Keywords include all the names, localities, subjects, and so on that might be mentioned. Every word of every message intercepted at each station gets automatically searched whether or not a specific telephone number or e-mail address is on the list.&lt;br /&gt;The thousands of simultaneous messages are read in "real time" as they pour into the station, hour after hour, day after day, as the computer finds intelligence needles in telecommunications haystacks.&lt;br /&gt;SOMEONE IS LISTENING&lt;br /&gt;The computers in stations around the globe are known, within the network, as the ECHELON Dictionaries. Computers that can automatically search through traffic for keywords have existed since at least the 1970s, but the ECHELON system was designed by NSA to interconnect all these computers and allow the stations to function as components of an integrated whole. The NSA and GCSB are bound together under the five-nation UKUSA signals intelligence agreement. The other three partners all with equally obscure names are the Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) in Britain, the Communications Security Establishment (CSE) in Canada, and the Defense Signals Directorate (DSD) in Australia.&lt;br /&gt;The alliance, which grew from cooperative efforts during World War II to intercept radio transmissions, was formalized into the UKUSA agreement in 1948 and aimed primarily against the USSR. The five UKUSA agencies are today the largest intelligence organizations in their respective countries. With much of the world's business occurring by fax, e-mail, and phone, spying on these communications receives the bulk of intelligence resources. For decades before the introduction of the ECHELON system, the UKUSA allies did intelligence collection operations for each other, but each agency usually processed and analysed the intercept from its own stations.&lt;br /&gt;Under ECHELON, a particular station's Dictionary computer contains not only its parent agency's chosen keywords, but also has lists entered in for other agencies. In New Zealand's satellite interception station at Waihopai (in the South Island), for example, the computer has separate search lists for the NSA, GCHQ, DSD, and CSE in addition to its own. Whenever the Dictionary encounters a message containing one of the agencies' keywords, it automatically picks it and sends it directly to the headquarters of the agency concerned. No one in New Zealand screens, or even sees, the intelligence collected by the New Zealand station for the foreign agencies. Thus, the stations of the junior UKUSA allies function for the NSA no differently than if they were overtly NSA-run bases located on their soil.&lt;br /&gt;The first component of the ECHELON network are stations specifically targeted on the international telecommunications satellites (Intelsats) used by the telephone companies of most countries. A ring of Intelsats is positioned around the world, stationary above the equator, each serving as a relay station for tens of thousands of simultaneous phone calls, fax, and e-mail. Five UKUSA stations have been established to intercept the communications carried by the Intelsats.&lt;br /&gt;The British GCHQ station is located at the top of high cliffs above the sea at Morwenstow in Cornwall. Satellite dishes beside sprawling operations buildings point toward Intelsats above the Atlantic, Europe, and, inclined almost to the horizon, the Indian Ocean. An NSA station at Sugar Grove, located 250 kilometers southwest of Washington, DC, in the mountains of West Virginia, covers Atlantic Intelsats transmitting down toward North and South America. Another NSA station is in Washington State, 200 kilometres southwest of Seattle, inside the Army's Yakima Firing Center. Its satellite dishes point out toward the Pacific Intelsats and to the east. *1&lt;br /&gt;The job of intercepting Pacific Intelsat communications that cannot be intercepted at Yakima went to New Zealand and Australia. Their South Pacific location helps to ensure global interception. New Zealand provides the station at Waihopai and Australia supplies the Geraldton station in West Australia (which targets both Pacific and Indian Ocean Intelsats). *2&lt;br /&gt;Each of the five stations' Dictionary computers has a codename to distinguish it from others in the network. The Yakima station, for instance, located in desert country between the Saddle Mountains and Rattlesnake Hills, has the COWBOY Dictionary, while the Waihopai station has the FLINTLOCK Dictionary. These codenames are recorded at the beginning of every intercepted message, before it is transmitted around the ECHELON network, allowing analysts to recognize at which station the interception occurred.&lt;br /&gt;New Zealand intelligence staff has been closely involved with the NSA's Yakima station since 1981, when NSA pushed the GCSB to contribute to a project targeting Japanese embassy communications. Since then, all five UKUSA agencies have been responsible for monitoring diplomatic cables from all Japanese posts within the same segments of the globe they are assigned for general UKUSA monitoring.3 Until New Zealand's integration into ECHELON with the opening of the Waihopai station in 1989, its share of the Japanese communications was intercepted at Yakima and sent unprocessed to the GCSB headquarters in Wellington for decryption, translation, and writing into UKUSA-format intelligence reports (the NSA provides the codebreaking programs).&lt;br /&gt;"COMMUNICATION" THROUGH SATELLITES&lt;br /&gt;The next component of the ECHELON system intercepts a range of satellite communications not carried by Intelsat.In addition to the UKUSA stations targeting Intelsat satellites, there are another five or more stations homing in on Russian and other regional communications satellites. These stations are Menwith Hill in northern England; Shoal Bay, outside Darwin in northern Australia (which targets Indonesian satellites); Leitrim, just south of Ottawa in Canada (which appears to intercept Latin American satellites); Bad Aibling in Germany; and Misawa in northern Japan.&lt;br /&gt;A group of facilities that tap directly into land-based telecommunications systems is the final element of the ECHELON system. Besides satellite and radio, the other main method of transmitting large quantities of public, business, and government communications is a combination of water cables under the oceans and microwave networks over land. Heavy cables, laid across seabeds between countries, account for much of the world's international communications. After they come out of the water and join land-based microwave networks they are very vulnerable to interception. The microwave networks are made up of chains of microwave towers relaying messages from hilltop to hilltop (always in line of sight) across the countryside. These networks shunt large quantities of communications across a country. Interception of them gives access to international undersea communications (once they surface) and to international communication trunk lines across continents. They are also an obvious target for large-scale interception of domestic communications.&lt;br /&gt;Because the facilities required to intercept radio and satellite communications use large aerials and dishes that are difficult to hide for too long, that network is reasonably well documented. But all that is required to intercept land-based communication networks is a building situated along the microwave route or a hidden cable running underground from the legitimate network into some anonymous building, possibly far removed. Although it sounds technically very difficult, microwave interception from space by United States spy satellites also occurs.4 The worldwide network of facilities to intercept these communications is largely undocumented, and because New Zealand's GCSB does not participate in this type of interception, my inside sources could not help either.&lt;br /&gt;NO ONE IS SAFE FROM A MICROWAVE&lt;br /&gt;A 1994 expos of the Canadian UKUSA agency, Spyworld, co-authored by one of its former staff, Mike Frost, gave the first insights into how a lot of foreign microwave interception is done (see p. 18). It described UKUSA "embassy collection" operations, where sophisticated receivers and processors are secretly transported to their countries' overseas embassies in diplomatic bags and used to monitor various communications in foreign capitals. *5&lt;br /&gt;Since most countries' microwave networks converge on the capital city, embassy buildings can be an ideal site. Protected by diplomatic privilege, they allow interception in the heart of the target country. *6 The Canadian embassy collection was requested by the NSA to fill gaps in the American and British embassy collection operations, which were still occurring in many capitals around the world when Frost left the CSE in 1990. Separate sources in Australia have revealed that the DSD also engages in embassy collection. *7 On the territory of UKUSA nations, the interception of land-based telecommunications appears to be done at special secret intelligence facilities. The US, UK, and Canada are geographically well placed to intercept the large amounts of the world's communications that cross their territories.&lt;br /&gt;The only public reference to the Dictionary system anywhere in the world was in relation to one of these facilities, run by the GCHQ in central London. In 1991, a former British GCHQ official spoke anonymously to Granada Television's World in Action about the agency's abuses of power. He told the program about an anonymous red brick building at 8 Palmer Street where GCHQ secretly intercepts every telex which passes into, out of, or through London, feeding them into powerful computers with a program known as "Dictionary." The operation, he explained, is staffed by carefully vetted British Telecom people: "It's nothing to do with national security. It's because it's not legal to take every single telex. And they take everything: the embassies, all the business deals, even the birthday greetings, they take everything. They feed it into the Dictionary." *8 What the documentary did not reveal is that Dictionary is not just a British system; it is UKUSA-wide.&lt;br /&gt;Similarly, British researcher Duncan Campbell has described how the US Menwith Hill station in Britain taps directly into the British Telecom microwave network, which has actually been designed with several major microwave links converging on an isolated tower connected underground into the station.9&lt;br /&gt;The NSA Menwith Hill station, with 22 satellite terminals and more than 4.9 acres of buildings, is undoubtedly the largest and most powerful in the UKUSA network. Located in northern England, several thousand kilometers from the Persian Gulf, it was awarded the NSA's "Station of the Year" prize for 1991 after its role in the Gulf War. Menwith Hill assists in the interception of microwave communications in another way as well, by serving as a ground station for US electronic spy satellites. These intercept microwave trunk lines and short range communications such as military radios and walkie talkies. Other ground stations where the satellites' information is fed into the global network are Pine Gap, run by the CIA near Alice Springs in central Australia and the Bad Aibling station in Germany. *10 Among them, the various stations and operations making up the ECHELON network tap into all the main components of the world's telecommunications networks. All of them, including a separate network of stations that intercepts long distance radio communications, have their own Dictionary computers connected into ECHELON.&lt;br /&gt;In the early 1990s, opponents of the Menwith Hill station obtained large quantities of internal documents from the facility. Among the papers was a reference to an NSA computer system called Platform. The integration of all the UKUSA station computers into ECHELON probably occurred with the introduction of this system in the early 1980s. James Bamford wrote at that time about a new worldwide NSA computer network codenamed Platform "which will tie together 52 separate computer systems used throughout the world. Focal point, or `host environment,' for the massive network will be the NSA headquarters at Fort Meade. Among those included in Platform will be the British SIGINT organization, GCHQ." *11&lt;br /&gt;LOOKING IN THE DICTIONARY&lt;br /&gt;The Dictionary computers are connected via highly encrypted UKUSA communications that link back to computer data bases in the five agency headquarters. This is where all the intercepted messages selected by the Dictionaries end up. Each morning the specially "indoctrinated" signals intelligence analysts in Washington, Ottawa,Cheltenham, Canberra, and Wellington log on at their computer terminals and enter the Dictionary system. After keying in their security passwords, they reach a directory that lists the different categories of intercept available in the data bases, each with a four-digit code. For instance, 1911 might be Japanese diplomatic cables from Latin America (handled by the Canadian CSE), 3848 might be political communications from and about Nigeria, and 8182 might be any messages about distribution of encryption technology.&lt;br /&gt;They select their subject category, get a "search result" showing how many messages have been caught in the ECHELON net on that subject, and then the day's work begins. Analysts scroll through screen after screen of intercepted faxes, e-mail messages, etc. and, whenever a message appears worth reporting on, they select it from the rest to work on. If it is not in English, it is translated and then written into the standard format of intelligence reports produced anywhere within the UKUSA network either in entirety as a "report," or as a summary or "gist."&lt;br /&gt;INFORMATION CONTROL&lt;br /&gt;A highly organized system has been developed to control what is being searched for by each station and who can have access to it. This is at the heart of ECHELON operations and works as follows.&lt;br /&gt;The individual station's Dictionary computers do not simply have a long list of keywords to search for. And they do not send all the information into some huge database that participating agencies can dip into as they wish. It is much more controlled.&lt;br /&gt;The search lists are organized into the same categories, referred to by the four digit numbers. Each agency decides its own categories according to its responsibilities for producing intelligence for the network. For GCSB, this means South Pacific governments, Japanese diplomatic, Russian Antarctic activities, and so on.&lt;br /&gt;The agency then works out about 10 to 50 keywords for selection in each category. The keywords include such things as names of people, ships, organizations, country names, and subject names. They also include the known telex and fax numbers and Internet addresses of any individuals, businesses, organizations, and government offices that are targets. These are generally written as part of the message text and so are easily recognized by the Dictionary computers.&lt;br /&gt;The agencies also specify combinations of keywords to help sift out communications of interest. For example, they might search for diplomatic cables containing both the words "Santiago" and "aid," or cables containing the word "Santiago" but not "consul" (to avoid the masses of routine consular communications). It is these sets of words and numbers (and combinations), under a particular category, that get placed in the Dictionary computers. (Staff in the five agencies called Dictionary Managers enter and update the keyword search lists for each agency.)&lt;br /&gt;The whole system, devised by the NSA, has been adopted completely by the other agencies. The Dictionary computers search through all the incoming messages and, whenever they encounter one with any of the agencies' keywords, they select it. At the same time, the computer automatically notes technical details such as the time and place of interception on the piece of intercept so that analysts reading it, in whichever agency it is going to, know where it came from, and what it is. Finally, the computer writes the four-digit code (for the category with the keywords in that message) at the bottom of the message's text. This is important. It means that when all the intercepted messages end up together in the database at one of the agency headquarters, the messages on a particular subject can be located again. Later, when the analyst using the Dictionary system selects the four- digit code for the category he or she wants, the computer simply searches through all the messages in the database for the ones which have been tagged with that number.&lt;br /&gt;This system is very effective for controlling which agencies can get what from the global network because each agency only gets the intelligence out of the ECHELON system from its own numbers. It does not have any access to the raw intelligence coming out of the system to the other agencies. For example, although most of the GCSB's intelligence production is primarily to serve the UKUSA alliance, New Zealand does not have access to the whole ECHELON network. The access it does have is strictly controlled. A New Zealand intelligence officer explained: "The agencies can all apply for numbers on each other's Dictionaries. The hardest to deal with are the Americans. ... [There are] more hoops to jump through, unless it is in their interest, in which case they'll do it for you."&lt;br /&gt;There is only one agency which, by virtue of its size and role within the alliance, will have access to the full potential of the ECHELON system the agency that set it up. What is the system used for? Anyone listening to official "discussion" of intelligence could be forgiven for thinking that, since the end of the Cold War, the key targets of the massive UKUSA intelligence machine are terrorism, weapons proliferation, and economic intelligence. The idea that economic intelligence has become very important, in particular, has been carefully cultivated by intelligence agencies intent on preserving their post-Cold War budgets. It has become an article of faith in much discussion of intelligence. However, I have found no evidence that these are now the primary concerns of organizations such as NSA.&lt;br /&gt;QUICKER INTELLIGENCE,SAME MISSION&lt;br /&gt;A different story emerges after examining very detailed information I have been given about the intelligence New Zealand collects for the UKUSA allies and detailed descriptions of what is in the yards-deep intelligence reports New Zealand receives from its four allies each week. There is quite a lot of intelligence collected about potential terrorists, and there is quite a lot of economic intelligence, notably intensive monitoring of all the countries participating in GATT negotiations. But by far, the main priorities of the intelligence alliance continue to be political and military intelligence to assist the larger allies to pursue their interests around the world. Anyone and anything the particular governments are concerned about can become a target.&lt;br /&gt;With capabilities so secret and so powerful, almost anything goes. For example, in June 1992, a group of current "highly placed intelligence operatives" from the British GCHQ spoke to the London Observer: "We feel we can no longer remain silent regarding that which we regard to be gross malpractice and negligence within the establishment in which we operate." They gave as examples GCHQ interception of three charitable organizations, including Amnesty International and Christian Aid. As the Observer reported: "At any time GCHQ is able to home in on their communications for a routine target request," the GCHQ source said. In the case of phone taps the procedure is known as Mantis. With telexes it is called Mayfly. By keying in a code relating to Third World aid, the source was able to demonstrate telex "fixes" on the three organizations. "It is then possible to key in a trigger word which enables us to home in on the telex communications whenever that word appears," he said. "And we can read a pre-determined number of characters either side of the keyword."12 Without actually naming it, this was a fairly precise description of how the ECHELON Dictionary system works. Again, what was not revealed in the publicity was that this is a UKUSA-wide system. The design of ECHELON means that the interception of these organizations could have occurred anywhere in the network, at any station where the GCHQ had requested that the four-digit code covering Third World aid be placed.&lt;br /&gt;UKUSA Signals Intelligence Agreement Partners&lt;br /&gt;Australia-------------------- Defense Signals Directorate (DSD) Canada----- Communications Security Establishment (CSE) New Zealand---- Communications Security Bureau (GCSB) UK---- Government Communication Headquarters (GCHQ) USA----------------------------- National Security Agency (NSA)&lt;br /&gt;Note that these GCHQ officers mentioned that the system was being used for telephone calls. In New Zealand, ECHELON is used only to intercept written communications: fax, e-mail, and telex. The reason, according to intelligence staff, is that the agency does not have the staff to analyze large quantities of telephone conversations.&lt;br /&gt;Mike Frost's expos of Canadian "embassy collection" operations described the NSA computers they used, called Oratory, that can "listen" to telephone calls and recognize when keywords are spoken. Just as we can recognize words spoken in all the different tones and accents we encounter, so too, according to Frost, can these computers. Telephone calls containing keywords are automatically extracted from the masses of other calls and recorded digitally on magnetic tapes for analysts back at agency headquarters. However, high volume voice recognition computers will be technically difficult to perfect, and my New Zealand-based sources could not confirm that this capability exists. But, if or when it is perfected, the implications would be immense. It would mean that the UKUSA agencies could use machines to search through all the international telephone calls in the world, in the same way that they do written messages. If this equipment exists for use in embassy collection, it will presumably be used in all the stations throughout the ECHELON network. It is yet to be confirmed how extensively telephone communications are being targeted by the ECHELON stations for the other agencies.&lt;br /&gt;The easiest pickings for the ECHELON system are the individuals, organizations,and governments that do not use encryption. In New Zealand's area, for example, it has proved especially useful against already vulnerable South Pacific nations which do not use any coding, even for government communications (all these communications of New Zealand's neighbors are supplied, unscreened, to its UKUSA allies). As a result of the revelations in my book, there is currently a project under way in the Pacific to promote and supply publicly available encryption software to vulnerable organizations such as democracy movements in countries with repressive governments. This is one practical way of curbing illegitimate uses of the ECHELON capabilities.&lt;br /&gt;One final comment. All the newspapers, commentators, and "well placed sources" told the public that New Zealand was cut off from US intelligence in the mid-1980s. That was entirely untrue. The intelligence supply to New Zealand did not stop, and instead, the decade since has been a period of increased integration of New Zealand into the US system. Virtually everything the equipment, manuals, ways of operating, jargon, codes, and so on, used in the GCSB continues to be imported entirely from the larger allies (in practice, usually the NSA). As with the Australian and Canadian agencies, most of the priorities continue to come from the US, too.&lt;br /&gt;The main thing that protects these agencies from change is their secrecy. On the day my book arrived in the book shops, without prior publicity, there was an all-day meeting of the intelligence bureaucrats in the prime minister's department trying to decide if they could prevent it from being distributed. They eventually concluded, sensibly, that the political costs were too high. It is understandable that they were so agitated.&lt;br /&gt;Throughout my research, I have faced official denials or governments refusing to comment on publicity about intelligence activities. Given the pervasive atmosphere of secrecy and stonewalling, it is always hard for the public to judge what is fact, what is speculation, and what is paranoia. Thus, in uncovering New Zealand's role in the NSA-led alliance, my aim was to provide so much detail about the operations the technical systems, the daily work of individual staff members, and even the rooms in which they work inside intelligence facilities that readers could feel confident that they were getting close to the truth. I hope the information leaked by intelligence staff in New Zealand about UKUSA and its systems such as ECHELON will help lead to change.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9231765-110096211686148304?l=ne033x.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ne033x.blogspot.com/feeds/110096211686148304/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9231765&amp;postID=110096211686148304' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9231765/posts/default/110096211686148304'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9231765/posts/default/110096211686148304'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ne033x.blogspot.com/2004/11/exposing-global-surveillance-system.html' title='EXPOSING THE GLOBAL SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM '/><author><name>ne033x</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16152580291069122603</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9231765.post-110096176011394283</id><published>2004-11-20T15:41:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2004-11-20T15:42:40.113+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Bilderberg Meetings PineIsle Resort near Atlanta, USA June 12-15, 1997 </title><content type='html'>Chairman.

Russell - the future valedictorian of the class of 1833 - traveled to Germany to study for a year. Russell came from an inordinately wealthy family that ran one of the United States' most despicable business organizations of the nineteenth century: Russell and Company, an opium empire. Russell would later become a member of the Connecticut State Legislature, agGeneral in the Connecticut National Guard, and the founder of the Collegiate and Commercial Institute in New Haven. While in Germany, Russell befriended the leader of an insidious German secret society that hailed the death.s head as its logo. Russell soon became caught up in this group, itself a sinister outgrowth of the notorious eighteenth century society of the Illuminati. When Russell returned to the U.S., he found an atmosphere so anti-Masonic that even his beloved Phi Beta Kappa, the honor society, had been unceremoniously stripped of its secrecy. Incensed, Russell rounded up a group of the most promising students in his class - including Alphonso Taft, the future Secretary of War, Attorney General, Minister to Austria, Ambassador to Russia, and father of future President William Howard Taft - and out of vengeance constructed the most powerful secret society the United States has ever known.        The men called their organization the "Brotherhood of Death," or, more informally, "The Order of Skull and Bones." They adopted the numerological symbol 322 because their group was the second chapter of the German organization, founded in 1832. They worshipped the goddess Eulogia, celebrated pirates, and covertly plotted an underground conspiracy to dominate the world.        Fast forward 170 years. Skull and Bones has curled its tentacles into every reach of American society. This tiny club has set up networks that have thrust three members to the most powerful political position in the world. And its power is only increasing - the 2004 Presidential election might showcase the first time each ticket has been led by a Bonesman. The secret society now, as one historian admonishes, is "'an international mafia' . . . unregulated and all but unknown." In its quest to create a New World Order that restricts individual freedoms and places ultimate power solely in the hands of a small cult of wealthy, prominent families, Skull and Bones has already succeeded in infiltrating nearly every major research, policy, financial, media, and government institution in the country. Skull and Bones, in fact, has been running the United States for years.        Skull and Bones cultivates its talent by selecting members from the junior class at Yale University, a school known for its strange, Gothic elitism and its rigid devotion to the past. The society screens its candidates carefully, favoring Protestants, or, now, white Catholics, with special affection for the children of wealthy, East Coast Skull and Bones members. Skull and Bones has been dominated by approximately two dozen of the country.s most prominent families - Bush, Bundy, Harriman, Lord, Phelps, Rockefeller, Taft, and Whitney, among them - who are encouraged by the society to inter-marry so that the society.s power is consolidated. In fact, the society forces members to confess their entire sexual histories so that Skull and Bones, as a eugenics overlord, can determine whether a new Bonesman will be fit to carry on the bloodlines of the powerful Skull and Bones dynasties. A rebel will not make Skull and Bones; nor will anyone whose background in any way indicates that he will not sacrifice for the greater good of the larger organization.        As soon as initiates are allowed into the "tomb," a dark, windowless crypt in New Haven with a roof that serves as a landing pad for the society's private helicopter, they are sworn to silence and told they must forever deny that they are members of this organization. During initiation, which involves ritualistic psychological conditioning, the juniors wrestle in mud and are physically beaten - this stage of the ceremony represents their "death" to the world as they have known it. They then lie naked in coffins, masturbate, and reveal to the society their innermost sexual secrets. After this cleansing, the Bonesmen give the initiates robes to represent their new identities as individuals with a higher purpose. The society anoints the initiate with a new name, symbolizing his rebirth and re-christening as Knight X, a member of The Order. It is during this initiation that the new members are introduced to the artifacts in the tomb, among them Nazi memorabilia - including a set of Hitler's silverware - dozens of skulls, and an assortment of decorative tchochkes: coffins, skeletons, and innards. They are also introduced to "the Bones whore," the tomb's only full-time resident, who helps to ensure that the Bonesmen leave the tomb more mature than when they entered.        Members of Skull and Bones must make some sacrifices to the society - and they are threatened with blackmail so that they remain loyal - but they are remunerated with honors and rewards, including a graduation gift of $15,000 and a wedding gift of a tall grandfather clock. Though they must tithe their estates to the society, each member is guaranteed financial security for life; in this way, Bones can ensure that no member will feel the need to sell the secrets of the society in order to make a living. And it works: no one has ever publicly breathed a word about his Skull and Bones membership, ever. Bonesmen are automatically offered jobs at the many investment banks and law firms dominated by their secret society brothers. They are also given exclusive access to the Skull and Bones island, a lush retreat built for millionaires, with a lavish mansion and a bevy of women at the members. disposal.        The influence of the cabal begins at Yale, where Skull and Bones has appropriated university funds for its own use, leaving the school virtually impoverished. Skull and Bones. corporate shell, the Russell Trust Association, owns nearly all of the university.s real estate, as well as most of the land in Connecticut. Skull and Bones has controlled Yale.s faculty and campus publications so that students cannot speak openly about the secret society. "Year by year," the campus' only anti-society publication stated during its brief tenure in 1873, "the deadly evil is growing."        The year in the tomb at Yale instills within members an unwavering loyalty to Skull and Bones society. Members have been known to stab their Skull and Bones pins into their skin to keep them in place during swimming or bathing. The knights (as the student members are called) learn quickly that their allegiance to the society must supercede all else - family, friendships, country, God. They are taught that once they get out into the world, they are expected to reach positions of prominence so that they can further elevate the society.s status and help promote the standing of their fellow Bonesmen.        This purpose has driven Bonesmen to ascend to the top levels of so many fields that, as one historian observes, "at any one time The Order can call on members in any area of American society to do what has to be done." Several Bonesmen have been senators, congressmen, Supreme Court justices, and cabinet officials. There is a Bones cell in the CIA, which uses Skull and Bones as a recruiting ground because the members are so obviously adept at keeping secrets. Society members dominate financial institutions such as J.P. Morgan, Morgan Stanley Dean Witter, and Brown Brothers Harriman, where at one time more than a third of the partners were Bonesmen. Through these companies, Skull and Bones provided financial backing to Adolf Hitler because the society then followed a Nazi - and now follows a neo-Nazi - doctrine. At least one dozen Bonesmen have been linked to the Federal Reserve, including the first Chairman of the New York Federal Reserve. Skull and Bones members control the wealth of the Rockefeller, Carnegie, and Ford families.        Skull and Bones has also taken steps to control the American media. Two of its members founded the law firm that represents the New York Times. Plans for both Time and Newsweek magazines were hatched in the Skull and Bones tomb. The society has controlled publishing houses such as Farrar, Straus, &amp; Giroux. In the 1880s, Skull and Bones created the American Historical Association, the American Psychological Association, and the American Economic Association so that the society could ensure that history would be written under its terms and promote its objectives. The society then installed its own members as the presidents of these associations.        Under the society's direction, Bonesmen developed and dropped the nuclear bomb and navigated the Bay of Pigs invasion. Skull and Bones members had ties to Watergate and the Kennedy assassination. They control the Council of Foreign Relations and the Trilateral Commission so that they can push their own political agenda. Skull and Bones government officials have used the number 322 as codes for highly classified diplomatic assignments. The society discriminates against minorities and fought for slavery; indeed, as evidence eight out of twelve of Yale.s residential colleges are named for slave owners while none are named for abolitionists. The society encourages misogyny: it did not admit women until the 1990s because members did not believe women were capable of handling the Skull and Bones experience and because they said they feared incidents of date rape. This society also encourages grave robbing: deep within the bowels of the tomb are the stolen skulls of the Apache Chief Geronimo, Pancho Villa, and former President Martin van Buren.        Finally, the society has taken measures to ensure that the secrets of Skull and Bones slip ungraspable like sand through open fingers. Journalist Ron Rosenbaum, who wrote a long but not probing article about the society in the 1970s, claimed that a source warned him not to get too close.        "What bank do you have your checking account at?" this party asked me in the middle of a discussion of the Mithraic aspects of the Bones ritual.        I named the bank.        "Aha," said the party. "There are three Bonesmen on the board. You'll never have a line of credit again. They'll tap your phone. They'll. . ."        . . . The source continued: "The alumni still care. Don't laugh. They don't like people tampering and prying. The power of Bones is incredible. They've got their hands on every lever of power in the country. You'll see - it's like trying to look into the Mafia."        In the 1980s, a man known only as "Steve" had contracts to write two books on the society, using documents and photographs he had acquired from the Bones crypt. But Skull and Bones found out about Steve. The society broke into his apartment, stole the documents, harassed the author, and scared him into hiding, where he has remained ever since. The books were never completed. In Universal Pictures' Spring 2000 thriller The Skulls, an aspiring journalist is writing a profile of the society for the New York Times. When he sneaks into the tomb, the Skulls murder him. Similarly, in the real Skull and Bones tomb is a bloody knife in a glass case. It is said that when a Bonesman stole documents from the society and threatened to publish Skull and Bones. secrets if they did not pay him a determined amount of money, the society used that knife to kill him.        This, then, is the legend of Skull and Bones.&lt;br /&gt;***        It is astonishing that so many people continue to believe, even in modern America in the twenty-first century, that a tiny college club wields such an enormous amount of influence on the world.s only superpower. The breadth of clout ascribed to this organization is practically as wide-ranging as the leverage afforded to the satirical secret society of the Stonecutters in an episode of the television show The Simpsons. The Stonecutters theme song included the lyrics:Who controls the British crown? Who keeps the metric system down?We do! We do.Who leaves the Atlantis off the maps? Who keeps the Martians under wraps?We do! We do.Who holds back the electric car? Who makes Steve Guttenberg a star?We do! We do.        Certainly, the society does cross boundaries in order to attempt to stay out of the public spotlight. When I wrote an article about the society for The Atlantic Monthly in May 2000, an older Bonesman said to me, "If it's not portrayed positively, I'm sending a couple of my friends after you." After the article was published, I received a telephone call at my office from a fellow journalist, who is a member of Skull and Bones. He scolded me for writing the article - "writing that article was not an ethical or honorable way to make a decent living in journalism," he condescended - and then asked me how much I had been paid for the story. When I refused to answer, he hung up. Fifteen minutes later, he called back.        "I have just gotten off the phone with our people."        "Your people?" I snickered.        "Yes" Our people."        He told me that the society demanded to know where I got my information.        "I've never been in the tomb and I did nothing illegal in the process of reporting this article," I replied.        "Then you must have gotten something from one of us. Tell me whom you spoke to. We just want to talk to them," he wheedled.        "I don't reveal my sources."         Then he got angry. He screamed at me for a while about how dishonorable I was for writing the article.        "A lot of people are very despondent over this!" he yelled. "Fifteen Yale juniors are very, very upset!"        I thanked him for telling me his concerns.        "There are a lot of us at newspapers and at political journalism institutions," he coldly hissed. "Good luck with your career" - and he slammed down the phone.        Skull and Bones, particularly in recent years, has managed to pervade both popular and political culture. In the 1992 race for the Republican presidential nomination, Pat Buchanan accused President George Bush of running "a Skull and Bones presidency." In 1993, during Jeb Bush's Florida gubernatorial campaign, one of his constituents asked him, "You're familiar with the Skull and Crossbones Society?" When Bush responded, "Yeah, I've heard about it," the constituent persisted, "Well, can you tell the people here what your family membership in that is? Isn't your aim to take control of the United States?" In January 2001, New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd used Skull and Bones in a simile: "When W. met the press with his choice for attorney general, John Ashcroft, before Christmas," Dowd wrote, "he vividly showed how important it is to him that his White House be as leak-proof as the Skull &amp; Bones 'tomb.'"        Later that year, the Universal Pictures film introduced the secret society to a new demographic perhaps uninitiated into the doctrines of modern-day conspiracy theory. At about the time the movie was being pre-screened in theaters - and perhaps in anticipation of the election of George W. Bush - a letter was distributed to Bonesmen from Skull and Bones headquarters. .In view of the political happenings in the barbarian world,. the memo read, .I feel compelled to remind all of the tradition of privacy and confidentiality essential to the well being of our Order and strongly urge stout resistance to the seductions and blandishments of the Fourth Estate.. This vow of silence remains the society.s most important rule. Bonesmen have been exceedingly careful not to break this code of secrecy, and have kept specific details about the organization out of the press. Indeed, given the unusual, strict written reminder to stay silent, members of Skull and Bones may well refuse to speak to any member of the media ever again.        But they have already spoken to me. When? Over the past three years. Why? Perhaps because I am a member of one of Skull and Bones' kindred Yale secret societies. Perhaps because some of them are tired of the Skull and Bones legend, of the claims of conspiracy theorists and some of their fellow Bonesmen. What follows, then, is the truth about Skull and Bones. And if that truth does not contain all of the conspiratorial elements that the Skull and Bones legend projects, it is perhaps all the more interesting for this fact. The story of Skull and Bones is not just the story of a remarkable secret society, but a remarkable society of secrets, some with basis in truth, some nothing but fog. Much of the way we understand the world of power involves myriad assumptions of connection and control, of cause and effect, and of coincidence that surely cannot be coincidence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9231765-110096116508867481?l=ne033x.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ne033x.blogspot.com/feeds/110096116508867481/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9231765&amp;postID=110096116508867481' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9231765/posts/default/110096116508867481'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9231765/posts/default/110096116508867481'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ne033x.blogspot.com/2004/11/book-excerpt-legend-of-skull-and-bones.html' title='Book Excerpt: The Legend of Skull and Bones'/><author><name>ne033x</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16152580291069122603</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9231765.post-110096069321180623</id><published>2004-11-20T15:01:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2004-11-21T22:19:58.796+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Skull And Bones In Bush's Cabinet </title><content type='html'>By Paolo Pontoniere&lt;br /&gt;New California Media10-2-2&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Amidst the debate over the impending US-led war against Iraq, some European media, mostly in Italy and Germany, took note of the publication of Secrets of The Tomb: Skull and Bones, The Ivy League and The Hidden Paths of Power.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the Little Brown book, author Alexandra Robbins discusses the connections between America's wealthiest families, secret fraternities and the role of Ivy League institutions in the genesis of United States foreign policy. For some European analysts, Skull and Bones explains much of the mystery surrounding how power is apportioned in the US by describing a well-established system of nepotism and co-optation among members of this fraternity. They fear that the unwieldy influence that secret lobbies--such as those described in Skull and Bones--have on the American administration may interfere with President Bush's ability to decide freely what action to take. They also believe that Bush's belonging to such a secret fraternity may explain the nihilistic overtones of his foreign policy and his strong drive toward waging war against Iraq because of the gothic character of the fraternity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Europeans have noted that not only the current US president is a Bonesman, but that also his former-president father and his grandfather, senator Prescott Bush, are members. In the Bush family, connection to the Tomb--the name of the Yale building where the fraternity meets--also involves three uncles of the current president and two of his cousins. A couple of Bonesmen came up with the money to launch President Bush's career in business when he founded the oil company Arbusto; another Bonesman provided the capital for Bush to acquire a stake in the Texas Rangers; and another member of the fraternity that bolstered Bush's 2000 presidential campaign by paying for advertising billboards at a million dollars a piece. One of President Bush's first actions when he entered the White House was to organize a dinner with the members of his fraternity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What worries Europeans most about the Bonesmen is the suspicion that the organization may have a neo-Nazi tendency or that it may be animated by anti-Semitic sentiments. According to various reports about the activities of the Bonesmen throughout the years, it appears that many prominent members, in particular those linked to the Union Bank in New York and its sister bank in Holland at the beginning of WWII, were financing Hitler throughout the war and as late as 1945. Italians and Germans alike have a long history of secret associations meddling in the internal affairs of their countries.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This fact makes European analysts tend to distrust both politicians that can be linked to such groups and secretive associations that have links to political parties or single politicians. In the case of the Skull and Bones, Italian and German media have reported that such ties between the secret organization and politicians could be understood as a multigenerational secret society with a global reach and a finger in many different pies. They describe the Skull and Bones' influence as resulting in a sort of oligarchic government that includes some of the most influential American families such as the Bushes, the Harrimans, the Tafts, the Whitneys, and the Rockefellers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Skull and Bones was founded in 1832 by William Russell, the heir to Russell and Company, at that time one of the world's most prominent opium traders. According to author Robbins, Russell befriended the leader of a secret society during a year of study in Germany. Returning to the US, Russell sought to re-create in the US the spirit of exclusivity that he had encountered with the German secret society, whose main goal was the establishment of a strong government of the kind that would mold every individual to the obedience of the state.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the rarefied atmosphere of Yale University, Russell found a receptive environment for his dream, enrolling the help of Alphonso Taft, future US secretary of war and father of President William Howard Taft. The society they founded was called the Brotherhood of Death, or more informally, the Order of Skull and Bones. Later the order would include among its ranks Prescott Bush, who would take the helm of the Union Bank, Roland and Arvell Harriman, several Rockerfellers, Henry Luce, and others who read like a who's who in American public life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;European reporters were astonished to learn that the cult has been extremely successful in its pursuit of establishing a "New World Order"-the Bonesmen's lingo was used by then-President Bush Senior to describe the philosophy behind his foreign policy. The Bonesmen's New World Order consists of fewer individual freedoms for the majority and of a few elected people sitting in the collective driver's seat. They noted that besides pushing three of its men-the two Bushes and Taft-to the presidency of the United States, the society has produced nine supreme court justices, several senators and congressmen, and that the idea of launching both Time and Newsweek magazines was first conjured up in the Bones' Tomb. Skull and Bones members founded the American Historical Association, the American Economic Association and the American Psychological Association. More than a dozen Bonesmen have worked at the Federal Reserve. Bonesmen are believed to control the Rockerfeller, Carnegie and Ford families' wealth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;European reporters don't appear to buy Alexandra Robbin's suggestions that Bonesmen may have developed and dropped the first nuclear bomb; may have organized the Bay of Pigs invasion; were tied to the Kennedy assassination and to the Watergate break-in; or that they may control the Council on Foreign Relations and the Trilateral Commission. Nevertheless, Europeans are intrigued by the notion that Bonesmen may be tied to many of history's recent conflicts, compelling them to wonder if the fraternity mentality may not explain a tendency toward destruction rather than building. They also wonder how a 2004 presidential race between Senator John Kerry on the democratic side running against President Bush-both Bonesmen--might unfold.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9231765-110096069321180623?l=ne033x.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ne033x.blogspot.com/feeds/110096069321180623/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9231765&amp;postID=110096069321180623' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9231765/posts/default/110096069321180623'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9231765/posts/default/110096069321180623'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ne033x.blogspot.com/2004/11/skull-and-bones-in-bushs-cabinet.html' title='Skull And Bones In Bush&apos;s Cabinet '/><author><name>ne033x</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16152580291069122603</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9231765.post-110095914969159117</id><published>2004-11-20T14:39:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2004-11-20T14:59:09.690+01:00</updated><title type='text'>United Flight 553</title><content type='html'>Legend&lt;br /&gt;CAM - Cockpit area microphone&lt;br /&gt;RDO - Radio transmission from accident aircraft&lt;br /&gt;-1 - Voice identified as Captain&lt;br /&gt;-2 - Voice identified as First Officer&lt;br /&gt;-3 - Voice identified as Second officer&lt;br /&gt;-?
