patriotic lamentations:

general dwight eisenhower:

"my fellow americans: three days from now, after half a century in the service of our
country, i shall lay down the responsibilities of office as, in traditional and solemn
ceremony, the authority of the presidency is vested in my successor. this evening i come
to you with a message of leave-taking and farewell, and to share a few final thoughts with
you, my countrymen. like every other citizen, i wish the new president, and all who will
labor with him, godspeed. i pray that the coming years will be blessed with peace and
prosperity for all. our people expect their president and the congress to find essential
agreement on issues of great moment, the wise resolution of which will better shape the
future of the nation. my own relations with the congress, which began on a remote and
tenuous basis when, long ago, a member of the senate appointed me to west point, have
since ranged to the intimate during the war and immediate post-war period, and, finally,
to the mutually interdependent during these past eight years. in this final relationship, the
congress and t he administration have, on most vital issues, cooperated well, to serve the
national good rather than mere partisanship, and so have assured that the business of the
nation should go forward. so, my official relationship with the congress ends in a feeling,
on my part, of gratitude that we have been able to do so much together. ii. we now stand
ten years past the midpoint of a century that has witnessed four major wars among great
nations. three of these involved our own country. despite these holocausts america is
today the strongest, the most influential and most productive nation in the world.
understandably proud of this pre-eminence, we yet realize that america's leadership and
prestige depend, not merely upon our unmatched material progress, riches and military
strength, but on how we use our power in the interests of world peace and human
betterment. iii. throughout america's adventure in free government, our basic purposes
have been to keep the peace; to foster progress in human achievement, and to enhance
liberty, dignity and integrity among people and among nations. to strive for less would be
unworthy of a free and religious people. any failure traceable to arrogance, or our lack of
comprehension or readiness to sacrifice would inflict upon us grievous hurt both at home
and abroad. progress toward these noble goals is persistently threatened by the conflict
now engulfing the world. it commands our whole attention, absorbs our very beings. we
face a hostile ideology -- global in scope, atheistic in character, ruthless in purpose, and
insidious in method. unhappily the danger is poses promises to be of indefinite duration.
to meet it successfully, there is called for, not so much the emotional and transitory
sacrifices of crisis, but rather those which enable us to carry forward steadily, surely, and
without complaint the burdens of a prolonged and complex struggle -- with liberty the
stake. only thus shall we remain, despite every provocation, on our charted course toward
permanent peace and human betterment. crises there will continue to be. in meeting
them, whether foreign or domestic, great or small, there is a recurring temptation to
feel that some spectacular and costly action could become the miraculous solution to
all current difficulties. a huge increase in newer elements of our defense; development of
unrealistic programs to cure every ill in agriculture; a dramatic expansion in basic and
applied research -- these and many other possibilities, each possibly promising in itself,
may be suggested as the only way to the road we wish to travel. but each proposal must
be weighed in the light of a broader consideration: the need to maintain balance in and
among national programs -- balance between the private and the public economy, balance
between cost and hoped for advantage -- balance between the clearly necessary and the
comfortably desirable; balance between our essential requirements as a nation and the
duties imposed by the nation upon the individual; balance between actions of the moment
and the national welfare of the future. good judgment seeks balance and progress; lack of
it eventually finds imbalance and frustration. the record of many decades stands as proof
that our people and their government have, in the main, understood these truths and have
responded to them well, in the face of stress and threat. but threats, new in kind or degree,
constantly arise. i mention two only. iv. a vital element in keeping the peace is our
military establishment. our arms must be mighty, ready for instant action, so that no
potential aggressor may be tempted to risk his own destruction. our military organization
today bears little relation to that known by any of my predecessors in peacetime, or
indeed by the fighting men of world war ii or korea. until the latest of our world conflicts,
the united states had no armaments industry. american makers of plowshares could, with
time and as required, make swords as well. but now we can no longer risk emergency
improvisation of national defense; we have been compelled to create a permanent
armaments industry of vast proportions. added to this, three and a half million men and
women are directly engaged in the defense establishment. we annually spend on military
security more than the net income of all united states corporations. this conjunction of an
immense military establishment and a large arms industry is new in the american
experience. the total influence -- economic, political, even spiritual -- is felt in every city,
every state house, every office of the federal government. we recognize the imperative
need for this development. yet we must not fail to comprehend its grave implications. our
toil, resources and livelihood are all involved; so is the very structure of our society. in
the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted
influence, whether sought or unsought, by the militaryindustrial complex. the potential
for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist. we must never let the
weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. we should
take nothing for granted. only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the
proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our
peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together. akin to,
and largely responsible for the sweeping changes in our industrial-military posture, has
been the technological revolution during recent decades. in this revolution, research has
become central; it also becomes more formalized, complex, and costly. a steadily
increasing share is conducted for, by, or at the direction of, the federal government. today,
the solitary inventor, tinkering in his shop, has been overshadowed by task forces of
scientists in laboratories and testing fields. in the same fashion, the free university,
historically the fountainhead of free ideas and scientific discovery, has experienced a
revolution in the conduct of research. partly because of the huge costs involved, a
government contract becomes virtually a substitute for intellectual curiosity. for every old
blackboard there are now hundreds of new electronic computers. the prospect of
domination of the nation's scholars by federal employment, project allocations, and the
power of money is ever present and is gravely to be regarded. yet, in holding scientific
research and discovery in respect, as we should, we must also be alert to the equal and
opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a
scientifictechnological elite. it is the task of statesmanship to mold, to balance, and to
integrate these and other forces, new and old, within the principles of our democratic
system -- ever aiming toward the supreme goals of our free society. v. another factor in
maintaining balance involves the element of time. as we peer into society's future, we --
you and i, and our government -- must avoid the impulse to live only for today,
plundering, for our own ease and convenience, the precious resources of tomorrow. we
cannot mortgage the material assets of our grandchildren without risking the loss also of
their political and spiritual heritage. we want democracy to survive for all generations to
come, not to become the insolvent phantom of tomorrow. vi. down the long lane of the
history yet to be written america knows that this world of ours, ever growing smaller,
must avoid becoming a community of dreadful fear and hate, and be instead, a proud
confederation of mutual trust and respect. such a confederation must be one of equals. the
weakest must come to the conference table with the same confidence as do we, protected
as we are by our moral, economic, and military strength. that table, though scarred by
many past frustrations, cannot be abandoned for the certain agony of the battlefield.
disarmament, with mutual honor and confidence, is a continuing imperative. together we
must learn how to compose differences, not with arms, but with intellect and decent
purpose. because this need is so sharp and apparent i confess that i lay down my official
responsibilities in this field with a definite sense of disappointment. as one who has
witnessed the horror and the lingering sadness of war -- as one who knows that another
war could utterly destroy this civilization which has been so slowly and painfully built
over thousands of years -- i wish i could say tonight that a lasting peace is in sight.
happily, i can say that war has been avoided. steady progress toward our ultimate goal has
been made. but, so much remains to be done. as a private citizen, i shall never cease to do
what little i can to help the world advance along that road. vii. so -- in this my last good
night to you as your president -- i thank you for the many opportunities you have given
me for public service in war and peace. i trust that in that service you find some things
worthy; as for the rest of it, i know you will find ways to improve performance in the
future. you and i -- my fellow citizens -- need to be strong in our faith that all nations,
under god, will reach the goal of peace with justice. may we be ever unswerving in
devotion to principle, confident but humble with power, diligent in pursuit of the nation's
great goals. to all the peoples of the world, i once more give expression to america's
prayerful and continuing aspiration: we pray that peoples of all faiths, all races, all
nations, may have their great human needs satisfied; that those now denied opportunity
shall come to enjoy it to the full; that all who yearn for freedom may experience its
spiritual blessings; that those who have freedom will understand, also, its heavy
responsibilities; that all who are insensitive to the needs of others will learn charity; that
the scourges of poverty, disease and ignorance will be made to disappear from the earth,
and that, in the goodness of time, all peoples will come to live together in a peace
guaranteed by the binding force of mutual respect and love."

john stockwell chronicles:

"i did 13 years in the cia altogether. i sat on a subcommittee of the nsc, so i was like
a chief of staff, with the gs-18s (like 3-star generals) henry kissinger, bill colby (the cia
director), the gs-18s and the cia, making the important decisions and my job was to put it
all together and make it happen and run it, an interesting place from which to watch a
covert action being done...

i testified for days before the congress, giving them chapter and verse, date and detail,
proving specific lies. they were asking if we had to do with s. africa, that was fighting in
the country. in fact we were coordinating this operation so closely that our airplanes, full
of arms from the states, would meet their airplanes in kinshasa and they would take our
arms into angola to distribute to our forces for us....

what i found with all of this study is that the subject, the problem, if you will, for the
world, for the u.s. is much, much, much graver, astronomically graver, than just angola
and vietnam. i found that the senate church committee has reported, in their study of
covert actions, that the cia ran several thousand covert actions since 1961, and that the
heyday of covert action was before 1961; that we have run several hundred covert actions
a year, and the cia has been in business for a total of 37 years.

what we're going to talk about tonight is the united states national security syndrome.
we're going to talk about how and why the u.s. manipulates the press. we're going to talk
about how and why the u.s. is pouring money into el salvador, and preparing to invade
nicaragua; how all of this concerns us so directly. i'm going to try to explain to you the
other side of terrorism; that is, the other side of what secretary of state shultz talks about.
in doing this, we'll talk about the korean war, the vietnam war, and the central american
war.

everything i'm going to talk to you about is represented, one way or another, already in
the public records. you can dig it all out for yourselves, without coming to hear me if you
so chose. books, based on information gotten out of the cia under the freedom of
information act, testimony before the congress, hearings before the senate church
committee, research by scholars, witness of people throughout the world who have been
to these target areas that we'll be talking about. i want to emphasize that my own
background is profoundly conservative. we come from south texas, east texas....

i was conditioned by my training, my marine corps training, and my background, to

believe in everything they were saying about the cold war, and i took the job with great
enthusiasm (in the cia) to join the best and the brightest of the cia, of our foreign service,
to go out into the world, to join the struggle, to project american values and save the
world for our brand of democracy. and i believed this. i went out and worked hard....

what i really got out of these 6 years in africa was a sense ... that nothing we were doing
in fact defended u.s. national security interests very much. we didn't have many national
security interests in bujumbura, burundi, in the heart of africa. i concluded that i just
couldn't see the point.

we were doing things it seemed because we were there, because it was our function, we
were bribing people, corrupting people, and not protecting the u.s. in any visible way. i
had a chance to go drinking with this larry devlin, a famous cia case officer who had
overthrown patrice lumumba, and had him killed in 1960, back in the congo. he was
moving into the africa division chief. i talked to him in addis ababa at length one night,
and he was giving me an explanation - i was telling him frankly, 'sir, you know, this stuff
doesn't make any sense, we're not saving anybody from anything, and we are corrupting
people, and everybody knows we're doing it, and that makes the u.s. look bad'.

and he said i was getting too big for my britches. he said, `you're trying to think like the
people in the nsc back in washington who have the big picture, who know what's going
on in the world, who have all the secret information, and the experience to digest it. if
they decide we should have someone in bujumbura, burundi, and that person should be
you, then you should do your job, and wait until you have more experience, and you
work your way up to that point, then you will understand national security, and you can
make the big decisions. now, get to work, and stop, you know, this philosophizing.'

and i said, `aye-aye sir, sorry sir, a bit out of line sir'. it's a very powerful argument, our
presidents use it on us. president reagan has used it on the american people, saying, `if
you knew what i know about the situation in central america, you would understand why
it's necessary for us to intervene.'

i went back to washington, however, and i found that others shared my concern. a formal
study was done in the state department and published internally, highly classified, called
the macomber [sp?] report, concluding that the cia had no business being in africa for
anything it was known to be doing, that our presence there was not justified, there were
no national security interests that the cia could address any better than the ambassador
himself. we didn't need to have bribery and corruption as a tool for doing business in
africa at that time.

i went from ... a tour in washington to vietnam. and there, my career, and my life, began
to get a little bit more serious. they assigned me a country. it was during the cease-fire,
'73 to '75. there was no cease-fire. young men were being slaughtered. i saw a slaughter.
300 young men that the south vietnamese army ambushed. their bodies brought in and
laid out in a lot next to my compound. i was up-country in tayninh. they were laid out
next door, until the families could come and claim them and take them away for burial.

i thought about this. i had to work with the sadistic police chief. when i reported that he
liked to carve people with knives in the cia safe-house - when i reported this to my
bosses, they said, `(1). the post was too important to close down. (2). they weren't going
to get the man transferred or fired because that would make problems, political problems,
and he was very good at working with us in the operations he worked on. (3). therefore if
i didn't have the stomach for the job, that they could transfer me.'

but they hastened to point out, if i did demonstrate a lack of `moral fiber' to handle
working with the sadistic police chief, that i wouldn't get another good job in the cia, it
would be a mark against
my career.
so i kept the job, i closed the safe-house down, i told my staff that i didn't approve of that
kind of activity, and i proceeded to work with him for the next 2 years, pretending that i
had reformed him, and he didn't do this sort of thing anymore. the parallel is obvious with
el salvador today, where the cia, the state department, works with the death squads.

they don't meet the death squads on the streets where they're actually chopping up
people or laying them down on the street and running trucks over their heads. the cia
people in san salvador meet the police chiefs, and the people who run the death
squads, and they do liaise with them, they meet them beside the swimming pool of the
villas. and it's a sophisticated, civilized kind of relationship. and they talk about their
children, who are going to school at ucla or harvard and other schools, and they don't talk
about the horrors of what's being done. they pretend like it isn't true.

what i ran into in addition to that was a corruption in the cia and the intelligence business
that made me question very seriously what it was all about, including what i was doing ...
risking my life ... what i found was that the cia, us, the case officers, were not permitted
to report about the corruption in the south vietnamese army....

now, the corruption was so bad, that the s. vietnamese army was a skeleton army. colonels
would let the troops go home if they would come in once a month and sign the pay
vouchers so the colonel could pocket the money. then he could sell half of the uniforms
and boots and m-16's to the communist forces - that was their major supply, just as it is in
el salvador today. he could use half of the trucks to haul produce, half of the helicopters
to haul heroin.

and the army couldn't fight. and we lived with it, and we saw it, and there was no doubt -
everybody talked about it openly. we could provide all kinds of proof, and they wouldn't
let us report it. now this was a serious problem because the south was attacked in the
winter of 1975, and it collapsed like a big vase hit by a sledgehammer. and the u.s. was
humiliated, and that was the dramatic end of our long involvement in vietnam....

i had been designated as the task-force commander that would run this secret war [in
angola in 1975 and 1976].... and what i figured out was that in this job, i would sit on a
sub-committee of the national security council, this office that larry devlin has told me
about where they had access to all the information about angola, about the whole world,
and i would finally understand national security. and i couldn't resist the opportunity to
know. i knew the cia was not a worthwhile organization, i had learned that the hard way.
but the question was where did the u.s. government fit into this thing, and i had a chance
to see for myself in the next big secret war....

i wanted to know if wise men were making difficult decisions based on truly important,
threatening information, threatening to our national security interests. if that had been the
case, i still planned to get out of the cia, but i would know that the system, the invisible
government, our national security complex, was in fact justified and worth while. and so i
took the job.... suffice it to say i wouldn't be standing in front of you tonight if i had
found these wise men making these tough decisions. what i found, quite frankly, was fat
old men sleeping through sub-committee meetings of the nsc in which we were making
decisions that were killing people in africa. i mean literally. senior ambassador ed
mulcahy... would go to sleep in nearly every one of these meetings....

you can change the names in my book [about angola] [13] and you've got nicaragua.... the
basic structure, all the way through including the mining of harbors, we addressed all of
these issues. the point is that the u.s. led the way at every step of the escalation of the
fighting. we said it was the soviets and the cubans that were doing it. it was the u.s. that
was escalating the fighting. there would have been no war if we hadn't gone in first. we
put arms in, they put arms in. we put advisors in, they answered with advisors. we put in
zairian para-commando battalions, they put in cuban army troops. we brought in the s.
african army, they brought in the cuban army. and they pushed us away. they blew us
away because we were lying, we were covering ourselves with lies, and they were telling
the truth. and it was not a war that we could fight. we didn't have interests there that
should have been defended that way.

there was never a study run that evaluated the mpla, fnla and unita, the three movements
in the country, to decide which one was the better one. the assistant secretary of state for
african affairs, nathaniel davis, no bleeding-heart liberal (he was known by some people
in the business as the butcher of santiago), he said we should stay out of the conflict and
work with whoever eventually won, and that was obviously the mpla. our consul in
luanda, tom killoran, vigorously argued that the mpla was the best qualified to run the
country and the friendliest to the u.s.

we brushed these people aside, forced matt davis to resign, and proceeded with our war.
the mpla said they wanted to be our friends, they didn't want to be pushed into the arms
of the soviet union; they begged us not to fight them, they wanted to work with us. we
said they wanted a cheap victory, they wanted a walk-over, they wanted to be un-
opposed, that we wouldn't give them a cheap victory, we would make them earn it, so to
speak. and we did. 10,000 africans died and they won the victory that they were winning
anyway.

now, the most significant thing that i got out of all of this, in addition to the fact that our
rationales were basically false, was that we lied. to just about everybody involved. one
third of my staff in this task force that i put together in washington, commanding this
global operation, pulling strings all over the world to focus pressure onto angola, and
military activities into angola, one third of my staff was propagandists, who were
working, in every way they could to create this picture of cubans raping angolans, cubans
and soviets introducing arms into the conflict, cubans and russians trying to take over the
world.

our ambassador to the united nations, patrick moynihan, he read continuous

statements of our position to the security council, the general assembly, and the press
conferences, saying the russians and cubans were responsible for the conflict, and that we
were staying out, and that we deplored the militarization of the conflict.
and every statement he made was false. and every statement he made was
originated in the sub-committee of the nsc that i sat on as we managed this thing. the state
department press person read these position papers daily to the press. we would write
papers for him. four paragraphs. we would call him on the phone and say, `call us 10
minutes before you go on, the situation could change overnight, we'll tell you which
paragraph to read. and all four paragraphs would be false. nothing to do with the truth.
designed to play on events, to create this impression of soviet and cuban aggression in
angola. when they were in fact responding to our initiatives.

and the cia director was required by law to brief the congress. this cia director bill colby -
the same one that dumped our people in vietnam - he gave 36 briefings of the congress,
the oversight committees, about what we were doing in angola. and he lied. at 36 formal
briefings. and such lies are perjury, and it's a felony to lie to the congress.

he lied about our relationship with south africa. we were working closely with the south
african army, giving them our arms, coordinating battles with them, giving them fuel for
their tanks and armored cars. he said we were staying well away from them. they were
concerned about these white mercenaries that were appearing in angola, a very sensitive
issue, hiring whites to go into a black african country, to help you impose your will on
that black african country by killing the blacks, a very sensitive issue. the congress was
concerned we might be involved in that, and he assured them we had nothing to do with
it.

we had in fact formed four little mercenary armies and delivered them into angola to do
this dirty business for the cia. and he lied to them about that. they asked if we were
putting arms into the conflict, and he said no, and we were. they asked if we had advisors
inside the country, and he said `no, we had people going in to look at the situation and
coming back out'. we had 24 people sleeping inside the country, training in the use of
weapons, installing communications systems, planning battles, and he said, we didn't
have anybody inside the country.

in summary about angola, without u.s. intervention, 10,000 people would be alive that
were killed in the thing. the outcome might have been peaceful, or at least much less
bloody. the mpla was winning when we went in, and they went ahead and won, which
was, according to our consul, the best thing for the country.

at the end of this thing the cubans were entrenched in angola, seen in the eyes of much of
the world as being the heroes that saved these people from the cia and s. african forces.
we had allied the u.s. literally and in the eyes of the world with the s. african army, and
that's illegal, and it's impolitic. we had hired white mercenaries and eventually been
identified with them. and that's illegal, and it's impolitic. and our lies had been visible
lies. we were caught out on those lies. and the world saw the u.s. as liars.
after it was over, you have to ask yourself, was it justified? what did the mpla do after
they had won? were they lying when they said they wanted to be our friends? 3 weeks
after we were shut down... the mpla had gulf oil back in angola, pumping the angolan oil
from the oilfields, with u.s. gulf technicians protected by cuban soldiers, protecting them
from cia mercenaries who were still mucking around in northern angola.

you can't trust a communist, can you? they proceeded to buy five 737 jets from boeing
aircraft in seattle. and they brought in 52 u.s. technicians to install the radar systems to
land and take-off those planes. they didn't buy [the soviet union's] aeroflot.... david
rockefeller himself tours s. africa and comes back and holds press conferences, in which
he says that we have no problem doing business with the so-called radical states of
southern africa.

i left the cia, i decided that the american people needed to know what we'd done in
angola, what we'd done in vietnam. i wrote my book. i was fortunate - i got it out. it was a
best-seller. a lot of people read it. i was able to take my story to the american people. got
on 60 minutes, and lots and lots of other shows.

i testified to the congress and then i began my education in earnest, after having been
taught to fight communists all my life. i went to see what communists were all about. i
went to cuba to see if they do in fact eat babies for breakfast. and i found they don't. i
went to budapest, a country that even national geographic admits is working nicely. i
went to jamaica to talk to michael manley about his theories of social democracy.

i went to grenada and established a dialogue with maurice bishop and bernard cord and
phyllis cord, to see - these were all educated people, and experienced people - and they
had a theory, they had something they wanted to do, they had rationales and explanations
- and i went repeatedly to hear them. and then of course i saw the u.s., the cia mounting a
covert action against them, i saw us orchestrating our plan to invade the country. 19 days
before he was killed, i was in grenada talking to maurice bishop about these things, these
indicators, the statements in the press by ronald reagan, and he and i were both
acknowledging that it was almost certain that the u.s. would invade grenada in the near
future.

i read as many books as i could find on the subject - book after book after book. i've got
several hundred books on the shelf over my desk on the subject of u.s. national security
interests. and by the way, i urge you to read. in television you get capsules of news that
someone else puts together what they want you to hear about the news. in newspapers
you get what the editors select to put in the newspaper. if you want to know about the
world and understand, to educate yourself, you have to get out and dig, dig up books and
articles for yourself. read, and find out for yourselves. as you'll see, the issues are very,
very important.

i also was able to meet the players, the people who write, the people who have done
studies, people who are leading different situations. i went to nicaragua a total of 7 times.
this was a major covert action. it lasted longer and evolved to be bigger than what we did
in angola. it gave me a chance, after running something from washington, to go to a
country that was under attack, to talk to the leadership, to talk to the people, to look and
see what happens when you give white phosporous or grenades or bombs or bullets to
people, and they go inside a country, to go and talk to the people, who have been shot, or
hit, or blown up....

we're talking about 10 to 20 thousand covert actions [the cia has performed since 1961].
what i found was that lots and lots of people have been killed in these things.... some of
them are very, very bloody.

the indonesian covert action of 1965, reported by ralph mcgehee, who was in that area
division, and had documents on his desk, in his custody about that operation. he said that
one of the documents concluded that this was a model operation that should be copied
elsewhere in the world. not only did it eliminate the effective communist party
(indonesian communist party), it also eliminated the entire segment of the population that
tended to support the communist party - the ethnic chinese, indonesian chinese. and the
cia's report put the number of dead at 800,000 killed. and that was one covert action.
we're talking about 1 to 3 million people killed in these things.

two of these things have led us directly into bloody wars. there was a covert action
against china, destabilizing china, for many, many years, with a propaganda campaign to
work up a mood, a feeling in this country, of the evils of communist china, and attacking
them, as we're doing in nicaragua today, with an army that was being launched against
them to parachute in and boat in and destabilize the country. and this led us directly into
the korean war.

u.s. intelligence officers worked over vietnam for a total of 25 years, with greater and
greater involvement, massive propaganda, deceiving the american people about what was
happening. panicking people in vietnam to create migrations to the south so they could
photograph it and show how people were fleeing communism. and on and on, until they
got us into the vietnam war, and 2,000,000 people were killed.

there is a mood, a sentiment in washington, by our leadership today, for the past 4 years,
that a good communist is a dead communist. if you're killing 1 to 3 million communists,
that's great. president reagan has gone public and said he would reduce the soviet union
to a pile of ashes. the problem, though, is that these people killed by our national security
activities are not communists. they're not russians, they're not kgb. in the field we used to
play chess with the kgb officers, and have drinks with them. it was like professional
football players - we would knock heads on sunday, maybe in an operation, and then
tuesday you're at a banquet together drinking toasts and talking.

the people that are dying in these things are people of the third world. that's the common
denominator that you come up with. people of the third world. people that have the
misfortune of being born in the metumba mountains of the congo, in the jungles of
southeast asia, and now in the hills of northern nicaragua. far more catholics than
communists, far more buddhists than communists. most of them couldn't give you an
intelligent definition of communism, or of capitalism.

central america has been a traditional target of u.s. dominion. if you want to get an easy-
read of the history of our involvement in central america, read walter lafeber's book,
inevitable revolutions. [8] we have dominated the area since 1820. we've had a
policy of dominion, of excluding other countries, other industrial powers from europe,
from competing with us in the area.

just to give you an example of how complete this is, and how military this has been,
between 1900 and w.w. ii, we had 5,000 marines in nicaragua for a total of 28 years. we
invaded the dominican republic 4 times. haiti, we occupied it for 12 years. we put our
troops into cuba 4 times, panama 6 times, guatemala once, plus a cia covert action to
overthrow the democratic government there once. honduras, 7 times. and by the way, we
put 12,000 troops into the soviet union during that same period of time.

in the 1930's there was public and international pressure about our marines in
nicaragua....

the next three leaders of guatemala [after the cia installed the puppet, colonel armaz in a
coup] died violent deaths, and amnesty international tells us that the governments we've
supported in power there since then, have killed 80,000 people. you can read about that
one in the book bitter fruit, by schlesinger and kinzer. [5] kinzer's a new york times
journalist... or jonathan kwitny, the wall street journal reporter, his book endless
enemies [7] - all discuss this....

however, the money, the millions and millions of dollars we put into this program
[helping central america] inevitably went to the rich, and not to the people of the
countries involved. and while we were doing this, while we were trying, at least saying
we were trying, to correct the problems of central and latin america, the cia was doing its
thing, too. the cia was in fact forming the police units that are today the death squads in el
salvador. with the leaders on the cia's payroll, trained by the cia and the united states.

we had the `public safety program' going throughout central and latin america for 26
years, in which we taught them to break up subversion by interrogating people.
interrogation, including torture, the way the cia taught it.
dan metrione, the famous exponent of these things, did 7 years in brazil and 3 in
uruguay, teaching interrogation, teaching torture. he was supposed to be the master of the
business, how to apply the right amount of pain, at just the right times, in order to get the
response you want from the individual.

they developed a wire. they gave them crank generators, with `u.s. aid' written on the
side, so the people even knew where these things came from. they developed a wire that
was strong enough to carry the current and fine enough to fit between the teeth, so you
could put one wire between the teeth and the other one in or around the genitals and you
could crank and submit the individual to the greatest amount of pain, supposedly, that the
human body can register.

now how do you teach torture? dan metrione: `i can teach you about torture, but
sooner or later you'll have to get involved. you'll have to lay on your hands and try it
yourselves.'

.... all they [the guinea pigs, beggars from off the streets] could do was lie there and
scream. and when they would collapse, they would bring in doctors and shoot them up
with vitamin b and rest them up for the next class. and when they would die, they would
mutilate the bodies and throw them out on the streets, to terrify the population so they
would be afraid of the police and the government.

and this is what the cia was teaching them to do. and one of the women who was in this
program for 2 years - tortured in brazil for 2 years - she testified internationally when she
eventually got out. she said, `the most horrible thing about it was in fact, that the people
doing the torture were not raving psychopaths.' she couldn't break mental contact with
them the way you could if they were psychopath. they were very ordinary people....

there's a lesson in all of this. and the lesson is that it isn't only gestapo maniacs, or
kgb maniacs, that do inhuman things to other people, it's people that do inhuman things to
other people. and we are responsible for doing these things, on a massive basis, to people
of the world today. and we do it in a way that gives us this plausible denial to our own
consciences; we create a cia, a secret police, we give them a vast budget, and we let them
go and run these programs in our name, and we pretend like we don't know it's going on,
although the information is there for us to know; and we pretend like it's ok because we're
fighting some vague communist threat. and we're just as responsible for these 1 to 3
million people we've slaughtered and for all the people we've tortured and made
miserable, as the gestapo was the people that they've slaughtered and killed. genocide is
genocide!

now we're pouring money into el salvador. a billion dollars or so. and it's a documented
fact that the... 14 families there that own 60% of the country are taking out between 2 to 5
billion dollars - it's called de-capitalization - and putting it in banks in miami and
switzerland. mort halper, in testifying to a committee of the congress, he suggested we
could simplify the whole thing politically just by investing our money directly in the
miami banks in their names and just stay out of el salvador altogether. and the people
would be better off.

nicaragua. what's happening in nicaragua today is covert action. it's a classic de-
stabilization program. in november 16, 1981, president reagan allocated 19 million
dollars to form an army, a force of contras, they're called, ex-somoza national guards, the
monsters who were doing the torture and terror in nicaragua that made the nicaraguan
people rise up and throw out the dictator, and throw out the guard. we went back to create
an army of these people. we are killing, and killing, and terrorizing people. not only in
nicaragua but the congress has leaked to the press - reported in the new york times, that
there are 50 covert actions going around the world today, cia covert actions going on
around the world today.

you have to be asking yourself, why are we destabilizing 50 corners of the troubled
world? why are we about to go to war in nicaragua, the central american war? it is the
function, i suggest, of the cia, with its 50 de-stabilization programs going around the
world today, to keep the world unstable, and to propagandize the american people to hate,
so we will let the establishment spend any amount of money on arms....

the victor marquetti ruling of the supreme court gave the government the right to
prepublication censorship of books. they challenged 360 items in his 360 page book. he
fought it in court, and eventually they deleted some 60 odd items in his book.

the frank snep ruling of the supreme court gave the government the right to sue a
government employee for damages. if s/he writes an unauthorized account of the
government - which means the people who are involved in corruption in the government,
who see it, who witness it, like frank snep did, like i did - if they try to go public they can
now be punished in civil court. the government took $90,000 away from frank snep, his
profits from his book, and they've seized the
profits from my own book....

[reagan passed] the intelligence identities protection act, which makes it a felony to
write articles revealing the identities of secret agents or to write about their activities in a
way that would reveal their identities. now, what does this mean? in a debate in congress
- this is very controversial - the supporters of this bill made it clear.... if agents smith and
jones came on this campus, in an mk-ultra-type experiment, and blew your fiance's head
away with lsd, it would now be a felony to publish an article in your local paper saying,
`watch out for these 2 turkeys, they're federal agents and they blew my loved one's head
away with lsd'. it would not be a felony what they had done because that's national
security and none of them were ever punished for those activities.

efforts to muzzle government employees. president reagan has been banging away at this
one ever since. proposing that every government employee, for the rest of his or her life,
would have to submit anything they wrote to 6 committees of the government for
censorship, for the rest of their lives. to keep the scandals from leaking out... to keep the
american people from knowing what the government is really doing.

then it starts getting heavy. the `pre-emptive strikes' bill. president reagan, working
through the secretary of state shultz... almost 2 years ago, submitted the bill that would
provide them with the authority to strike at terrorists before terrorists can do their
terrorism. but this bill... provides that they would be able to do this in this country as well
as overseas. it provides that the secretary of state would put together a list of people that
he considers to be terrorist, or terrorist supporters, or terrorist sympathizers. and if your
name, or your organization, is put on this list, they could kick down your door and haul
you away, or kill you, without any due process of the law and search warrants and trial by
jury, and all of that, with impunity.

now, there was a tremendous outcry on the part of jurists. the new york times columns
and other newspapers saying, `this is no different from hitler's "night in fog" program',
where the government had the authority to haul people off at night. and they did so by the
thousands. and president reagan and secretary shultz have persisted.... shultz has said,
`yes, we will have to take action on the basis of information that would never stand up in
a court. and yes, innocent people will have to be killed in the process. but, we must have
this law because of the threat of international terrorism'.

think a minute. what is `the threat of international terrorism'? these things catch a lot of
attention. but how many americans died in terrorist actions last year? according to
secretary shultz, 79. now, obviously that's terrible but we killed 55,000 people on our
highways with drunken driving; we kill 2,500 people in far nastier, bloodier, mutilating,
gang-raping ways in nicaragua last year alone ourselves. obviously 79 peoples' death is
not enough reason to take away the protection of american citizens, of due process of the
law.

but they're pressing for this. the special actions teams that will do the pre-emptive striking
have already been created, and trained in the defense department.

they're building detention centers. there were 8 kept as mothballs under the mclaren act
after world war ii, to detain aliens and dissidents in the next war, as was done in the next
war, as was done with the japanese people during world war ii. they're building 10 more,
and army camps, and the... executive memos about these things say it's for aliens and
dissidents in the next national emergency....

fema, the federal emergency management agency, headed by loius

guiffrida, a friend of ed meese's.... he's going about the country lobbying
and demanding that he be given authority, in the times of national
emergency, to declare martial law, and establish a curfew, and gun
down people who violate the curfew... in the united states.

and then there's ed meese, as i said. the highest law enforcement officer
in the land, president reagan's closest friend, going around telling us
that the constitution never did guarantee freedom of speech and press,
and due process of the law, and assembly.

what they are planning for this society, and this is why they're determined to take us into
a war if we'll permit it... is the reagan revolution.... so he's getting himself some laws so
when he puts in
the troops in nicaragua, he can take charge of the american people, and put people in jail,
and kick in their doors, and kill them if they don't like what he's doing....

the question is, `are we going to permit our leaders to take away our freedoms because
they have a charming smile and they were nice movie stars one day, or are we going to
stand up and fight, and insist on our freedoms?' it's up to us - you and i can watch this
history play in the next year and 2 and 3 years.
i just got my latest book back from the cia censors. if i had not submitted it to them, i
would have gone to jail, without trial - blow off juries and all that sort of thing - for
having violated our censorship laws....

in that job [angola] i sat on a sub-committee of the nsc, so i was like a chief of staff, with
the gs-18s (like 3-star generals) henry kissinger, bill colby (the cia director), the gs-18s
and the cia, making important decisions and my job was to put it all together and make it
happen and run it, an interesting place from which to watch a covert action being done....

when the world's gotten blocked up before, like a monopoly game where everything's
owned and nobody can make any progress, the way they erased the board and started
over has been to have big world wars, and erase countries and bomb cities and bomb
banks and then start from scratch again. this is not an option to us now because of all
these 52,000 nuclear weapons....

the united states cia is running 50 covert actions, destabilizing further

almost one third of the countries in the world today....

by the way, everything i'm sharing with you tonight is in the public record. the 50 covert
actions - these are secret, but that has been leaked to us by members of the oversight
committee of the congress. i urge you not to take my word for anything. i'm going to
stand here and tell you and give you examples of how our leaders lie. obviously i could
be lying. the only way you can figure it out for yourself is to educate yourselves. the
french have a saying, `them that don't do politics will be done'. if you don't fill your mind
eagerly with the truth, dig it out from the records, go and see for yourself, then your mind
remains blank and your adrenaline pumps, and you can be mobilized and excited to do
things that are not in your interest to do....

nicaragua is not the biggest covert action, it is the most famous one. afghanistan is, we
spent several hundred million dollars in afghanistan. we've spent somewhat less than that,
but close, in nicaragua....

[when the u.s. doesn't like a government], they send the cia in, with its resources and
activists, hiring people, hiring agents, to tear apart the social and economic fabric of the
country, as a technique for putting pressure on the government, hoping that they can
make the government come to the u.s.'s terms, or the government will collapse altogether
and they can engineer a coup d'etat, and have the thing wind up with their own choice of
people in power.

now ripping apart the economic and social fabric of course is fairly textbook-ish. what
we're talking about is going in and deliberately creating conditions where the farmer can't
get his produce to market, where children can't go to school, where women are terrified
inside their homes as well as outside their homes, where government administration and
programs grind to a complete halt, where the hospitals are treating wounded people
instead of sick people, where international capital is scared away and the country goes
bankrupt. if you ask the state department today what is their official explanation of the
purpose of the contras, they say it's to attack economic targets, meaning, break up the
economy of the country. of course, they're attacking a lot more.
to destabilize nicaragua beginning in 1981, we began funding this force of somoza's ex-
national guardsmen, calling them the contras (the counter-revolutionaries). we created
this force, it did not exist until we allocated money. we've armed them, put uniforms on
their backs, boots on their feet, given them camps in honduras to live in, medical
supplies, doctors, training, leadership, direction, as we've sent them in to de-stabilize
nicaragua. under our direction they have systematically been blowing up graineries, saw
mills, bridges, government offices, schools, health centers. they ambush trucks so the
produce can't get to market. they raid farms and villages. the farmer has to carry a gun
while he tries to plow, if he can plow at all.

if you want one example of hard proof of the cia's involvement in this, and their approach
to it, dig up `the sabotage manual', that they were circulating throughout nicaragua,
a comic-book type of a paper, with visual explanations of what you can do to bring a
society to a halt, how you can gum up typewriters, what you can pour in a gas tank to
burn up engines, what you can stuff in a sewage to stop up the sewage so it won't work,
things you can do to make a society simply cease to function.

systematically, the contras have been assassinating religious workers, teachers, health
workers, elected officials, government administrators. you remember the assassination
manual? that surfaced in 1984. it caused such a stir that president reagan had to address it
himself in the presidential debates with walter mondale. they use terror. this is a
technique that they're using to traumatize the society so that it can't function.

i don't mean to abuse you with verbal violence, but you have to understand what your
government and its agents are doing. they go into villages, they haul out families. with
the children forced to watch they castrate the father, they peel the skin off his face, they
put a grenade in his mouth and pull the pin. with the children forced to watch they gang-
rape the mother, and slash her breasts off. and sometimes for variety, they make the
parents watch while they do these
things to the children.

this is nobody's propaganda. there have been over 100,000 american witnesses for peace
who have gone down there and they have filmed and photographed and witnessed these
atrocities immediately after they've happened, and documented 13,000 people killed this
way, mostly women and children. these are the activities done by these contras. the
contras are the people president reagan calls `freedom fighters'. he says they're the moral
equivalent of our founding fathers. and the whole world gasps at this confession of his
family traditions.

read contra terror by reed brodie [1], former assistant attorney general of new york
state. read the contras by dieter eich. [4] read with the contras by christopher dickey. [2]
this is a main-line journalist, down there on a grant with the council on foreign relations,
a slightly to the right of the middle of the road organization. he writes a book that sets a
pox on both your houses, and then he accounts about going in on patrol with the contras,
and describes their activities. read witness for peace: what we have seen and heard. read
the lawyer's commission on human rights. read the violations of war on both sides by the
americas watch. [15] and there are many, many more documentations of details, of
names, of the incidents that have happened.

part of a de-stabilization is propaganda, to dis-credit the targeted government. this one

actually began under jimmy carter. he authorized the cia to go in and try to make the
sandinistas look to be evil. so in 1979 [when] they came in to power, immediately we
were trying to cast them as totalitarian, evil, threatening marxists. while they abolished
the death sentence, while they released 8,000 national guardsmen that they had in their
custody that they could have kept in prison, they said `no. unless we have evidence of
individual crimes, we're not going to hold someone in prison just because they were
associated with the former administration.' while they set out to launch a literacy
campaign to teach the people to read and write, which is something that the dictator
somoza, and us supporting him, had never bothered to get around to doing. while they set
out to build 2,500 clinics to give the country something resembling a public health policy,
and access to medicines, we began to label them as totalitarian dictators, and to attack
them in the press, and to work with this newspaper `la prensa', which - it's finally come
out and been admitted, in washington - the u.s. government is funding: a propaganda arm.

[reagan and the state dept. have] been claiming they're building a war machine that
threatens the stability of central america. now the truth is, this small, poor country has
been attacked by the world's richest country under conditions of war, for the last 5 years.
us and our army - the death they have sustained, the action they have suffered - it makes
it a larger war proportionally than the vietnam war was to the u.s. in addition to the contra
activities, we've had u.s. navy ships supervising the mining of harbors, we've sent planes
in and bombed the capital, we've had u.s. military planes flying wing-tip to wing-tip over
the country, photographing it, aerial reconnaissance. they don't have any missiles or jets
they can send up to chase us off. we are at war with them. they have not retaliated yet
with any kind of war action against us, but we do not give them credit with having the
right to defend themselves. so we claim that the force they built up, which is obviously
purely defensive, is an aggressive force that threatens the stability of all of central
america.

we claim the justification for this is the arms that are flowing from nicaragua to el
salvador, and yet in 5 years of this activity, there is no evidence of any arms flowing from
nicaragua into el salvador.

we launched a campaign to discredit their elections. international observer teams said

these were the fairest elections they have witnessed in central america in many years. we
said they were fraudulent, they were rigged, because it was a totalitarian system. instead
we said, the elections that were held in el salvador were models of democracy to be
copied elsewhere in the world. and then the truth came out about that one. and we learned
that the cia had spent 2.2 million dollars to make sure that their choice of candidates -
duarte - would win. they did everything, we're told, by one of their spokesmen, indirectly,
but stuff the ballot boxes....
i'll make a footnote that when i speak out, he [senator jesse helmes] calls me a traitor, but
when something happens he doesn't like, he doesn't hesitate to go public and reveal the
secrets and embarrass the u.s.

we claim the sandinistas are smuggling drugs as a technique to finance their revolution.
this doesn't make sense. we're at war with them, we're dying to catch them getting arms
from the soviet union, flying things back and forth to cuba. we have airplanes and picket
ships watching everything that flies out of that country, and into it. how are they going to
have a steady flow of drug-smuggling planes into the u.s.? not likely! however, there are
nicaraguans, on these bases in honduras, that have planes flying into cia training camps in
florida, alabama, louisiana, several times a week.

now, obviously i'm not going to stand in front of you and say that the cia might be
involved in drug trafficking, am i? read the book. read the politics of heroin in southeast
asia. for 20 years the cia was helping the kuomantang to finance itself and then to get rich
smuggling heroin. when we took over from the french in 1954 their intelligence service
had been financing itself by smuggling the heroin out of laos. we replaced them - we put
air america, the cia subsidiary - it would fly in with crates marked humanitarian aid,
which were arms, and it would fly back out with heroin. and the first target, market, of
this heroin was the u.s. gi's in vietnam. if anybody in nicaragua is smuggling drugs, it's
the contras. now i've been saying that since the state department started waving this red
herring around a couple of years ago, and the other day you notice president reagan said
that the nicaraguans, the sandinistas, were smuggling drugs, and the dea said, `it ain't
true, the contras are smuggling drugs'.

we claim the sandinistas are responsible for the terrorism that's happening anywhere in
the world. `the country club of terrorism' we call it. there's an incident in rome, and ed
meese goes on television and says, `that country club in nicaragua is training terrorists'.
we blame the sandinistas for the misery that exists in nicaragua today, and there is misery,
because the world's richest nation has set out to create conditions of misery, and
obviously we're bound to have some effect. the misery is not the fault of the sandinistas,
it's the result of our destabilization program. and despite that, and despite some
grumbling in the country, the sandinistas in their elections got a much higher percentage
of the vote than president reagan did, who's supposed to be so popular in this country. and
all observers are saying that people are still hanging together, with the sandinistas.

now it gets tricky. we're saying that the justification for more aid, possibly for an invasion
of the country - and mind you, president reagan has begun to talk about this, and the
secretary of defense weinberger began to say that it's inevitable - we claim that the
justification is that the soviet union now has invested 500 million dollars in arms in
military to make it its big client state, the soviet bastion in this hemisphere. and that's
true. they do have a lot of arms in there now. but the question is, how did they get invited
in? you have to ask yourself, what's the purpose of this destabilization program? for this i
direct you back to the newsweek article in sept. 1981, where they announce the fact that
the cia was beginning to put together this force of somoza's ex-guard. newsweek
described it as `the only truly evil, totally unacceptable factor in the nicaraguan equation'.
they noted that neither the white house nor the cia pretended it ever could have a chance
of winning. so then they asked, rhetorically, `what's the point?' and they concluded that
the point is that by attacking the country, you can force the sandinistas into a more radical
position, from which you have more ammunition to attack them.

and that's what we've accomplished now. they've had to get soviet aid to defend
themselves from the attack from the world's richest country, and now we can stand up to
the american people and say, `see? they have all the soviet aid'. make no doubt of it, it's
the game plan of the reagan administration to have a war in nicaragua, they have been
working on this since 1981, they have been stopped by the will of the american people so
far, but they're working harder than ever to engineer their war there.

now, cia destabilizations are nothing new, they didn't begin with nicaragua. we've done it
before, once or twice. like the church committee, investigating cia covert action in 1975,
found that we had run several hundred a year, and we'd been in the business of running
covert actions, the cia has, for 4 decades. you're talking about 10 to 20 thousand covert
actions.

cia apologists leap up and say, `well, most of these things are not so bloody'. and that's
true. you're giving a politician some money so he'll throw his party in this direction or
that one, or make false speeches on your behalf, or something like that. it may be non-
violent, but it's still illegal intervention in other countries' affairs, raising the question of
whether or not we are going to have a
world in which law, rules of behaviour, are respected, or is it going to be a world of
bullies, where the strongest can violate and brutalize the weakest, and ignore the laws?

but many of these things are very bloody indeed, and we know a lot about a lot of them.
investigations by the congress, testimony by cia directors, testimony by cia case officers,
books written by cia case officers, documents gotten out of the government under the
freedom of information act, books that are written by by pulitzer-prize-winning
journalists who've documented their cases. and you can go and read from these things,
classic cia operations that we know about, some of them very bloody indeed. guatemala
1954, brazil, guyana, chile, the congo, iran, panama, peru, bolivia, equador, uruguay - the
cia organized the overthrow of constitutional democracies. read the book covert
action: 35 years of deception by the journalist godswood. [6]

remember the henry kissinger quote before the congress when he was being grilled to
explain what they had done to overthrow the democratic government in chile, in which
the president, salvador allende had been killed. and he said, `the issues are much too
important for the chilean voters to be left to decide for themselves'.

we had covert actions against china, very much like what we're doing against nicaragua
today, that led us directly into the korean war, where we fought china in korea. we had a
long covert action in vietnam, very much like the one that we're running in nicaragua
today, that tracked us directly into the vietnam war. read the book, the hidden history of
the korean war by i. f. stone. [14] read deadly deceits by ralph mcgehee [9] for the
vietnam story. in thailand, the congo, laos, vietnam, taiwan, and honduras, the cia put
together large standing armies. in vietnam, laos, cambodia, thailand, the congo, iran,
nicaragua, and sri lanka, the cia armed and encouraged ethnic minorities to rise up and
fight. the first thing we began doing in nicaragua, 1981 was to fund an element of the
mesquite indians, to give them money and training and arms, so they could rise up and
fight against the government in managua. in el salvador, vietnam, korea, iran, uganda and
the congo, the cia helped form and train the death
squads.

in el salvador specifically, under the `alliance for progress' in the early 1960's, the
cia helped put together the treasury police. these are the people that haul people out at
night today, and run trucks over their heads. these are the people that the catholic church
tells us, have killed something over 50,000 civilians in the last 5 years. and we have
testimony before our congress that as late as 1982, leaders of the treasury police were still
on the cia payroll.

then you have the `public safety program.' i have to take just a minute on this one
because it's a very important principle involved that we must understand, if we're to
understand ourselves and the world that we live in. in this one, the cia was working with
policeforces throughout latin america for about 26 years, teaching them how to wrap up
subversive networks by capturing someone and interrogating them, torturing them, and
then getting names and arresting the others and going from there. now, this was such a
brutal and such a bloody operation, that amnesty international began to complain and
publish reports. then there were united nations hearings. then eventually our congress was
forced to yield to international pressure and investigate it, and they found the horror that
was being done, and by law they forced it to stop. you can read these reports -- the
amnesty international findings, and our own congressional hearings.

these things kill people. 800,000 in indonesia alone according to cia's estimate, 12,000 in
nicaragua, 10,000 in the angolan operation that i was sitting on in washington, managing
the task force. they add up. we'll never know how many people have been killed in them.
obviously a lot. obviously at least a million. 800,000 in indonesia alone. undoubtedly the
minimum figure has to be 3 million. then you add in a million people killed in korea, 2
million people killed in the vietnam war, and you're obviously getting into gross
millions of people...
we do not parachute teams into the soviet union to haul families out at night and castrate
the father with the children watching, because they have the bomb, and a big army, and
they would parachute teams right back into our country and do the same thing to us -
they're not scared of us. for slightly different reasons, but also obvious reasons, we don't
do these things in england, or france, or germany, or sweden, or italy, or japan. what
comes out at you immediately is that these 1 to 3 million direct victims, the dead, and in
these other wars, they're people of the third world. they're people of the metumba
mountains of the congo, and the jungles of southeast asia, and now the hills of northern
nicaragua - 12,000 peasants. we have not killed kgb or russian army advisors in
nicaragua. we are not killing cuban advisors. we're not killing very many sandinistas. the
12,000 that we have killed in nicaragua are peasants, who have the misfortune of living in
a cia's chosen battlefield. mostly women and children. communists? far, far, far more
catholics than anything else.

now case officers that do these things in places in nicaragua, they do not come back to the
u.s. and click their heels and suddenly become responsible citizens. they see themselves -
they have been functioning above the laws, of god, and the laws of man - they've come
back to this country, and they've continued their operations as far as they can get by with
them. and we have abundant documentation of that as well. the mh-chaos program,
exposed in the late 60's and shut down, re-activated by president reagan to a degree - we
don't have the details yet - in which they were spending a billion dollars to manipulate
u.s. student, and labor organizations. the mk-ultra program. for 20 years, working
through over 200 medical schools and mental hospitals, including harvard medical
school, georgetown, some of the biggest places we've got, to experiment on american
citizens with disease, and drugs.

they dragged a barge through san francisco bay, leaking a virus, to measure this
technique for crippling a city. they launched a whooping cough epidemic in a long
island suburb, to see what it would do to the community if all the kids had whooping
cough. tough shit about the 2 or 3 with weak constitutions that might die in the
process. they put light bulbs in the subways in manhattan, that would create vertigo
- make people have double vision, so you couldn't see straight - and hid
cameras in the walls - to see what would happen at rush hour when the trains are
zipping past - if everybody has vertigo and they can't see straight and they're
bumping into each other.

colonel white - oh yes, and i can't not mention the disease experimentations - the use of
deadly diseases. we launched - when we were destabilizing cuba for 7 years - we
launched the swine fever epidemic, in the hog population, trying to kill out all of the pigs
- a virus. we experimented in haiti on the people with viruses.

i'm not saying, i do not have the slightest shred of evidence, that there is any truth or
indication to the rumor that the cia and its experimentations were responsible for aids. but
we do have it documented that the cia has been experimenting on people, with viruses.
and now we have some deadly, killer viruses running around in society. and it has to
make you wonder, and it has to make you worry.

colonel white wrote from retirement - he was the man who was in charge of this macabre
program - he wrote, `i toiled whole-heartedly in the vineyards because it was fun, fun
fun. where else could a red-blooded american boy lie, kill, cheat, steal, rape and pillage
with the blessings of the all highest?' now that program, the mk-ultra program, was
eventually exposed by the press in 1972, investigated by the congress, and shut down by
the congress. you can dig up the congressional record and read it for yourself.

there's one book called `in search of the manchurian candidate'. it's written by
john marks, based on 14,000 documents gotten out of the government under the
freedom of information act. read for yourselves.
the thing was shut down but not one cia case officer who was involved was in any way
punished. not one case officer involved in these experimentations on the american public,
lost a single paycheck for what they had done.

the church committee found that the cia had co-opted several hundred journalists,
including some of the biggest names in the business. the latest flap or scandal we had
about that was a year and a half ago. lesley gelb, the heavyweight with the new york
times, was exposed for having been working covertly with the cia in 1978 to recruit
journalists in europe, who would introduce stories, print stories that would create
sympathy for the neutron bomb.

the church committee found that they had published over 1,000 books, paying someone
to write a book, the cia puts its propaganda lines in it, the professor or the scholar gets
credit for the book and gets the royalties. the latest flap we had about that was last year. a
professor at harvard was exposed for accepting 105,000 dollars from the
cia to write a book about the middle east. several thousand professors and
graduate students co-opted by the cia to run its operations on campuses and build files on
students.

and then we have evidence - now, which has been hard to collect in the past but we knew
it was happening - of cia agents participating, trying to manipulate, our elections. fdn,
contra commanders, traveling this country on cia plane tickets, going on television and
pin-pointing a congressional and saying, `that man is soft on communism. that man is a
sandinista lover.' a cia agent going on television, trying to manipulate our elections.

all of this, to keep america safe for freedom and democracy.

in nicaragua the objective is to stop the cuban and soviet take-over, we say. another big
operation in which we said the same thing was angola, 1975, my little war. we were
saying exactly the same thing - cubans and soviets.

now i will not going into great detail about this one tonight because i wrote a book about
it, i detailed it. and you can get a copy of that book and read it for yourselves. i have to
urge you, however - please do not rush out and buy a copy of that book because the cia
sued me. all of my profits go to the cia, so if you buy a copy of the book you'll be
donating 65 cents to the cia. so check it out from your library!

if you have to buy a copy, well buy one copy and share it with all your friends. if your
bookstore is doing real well and you want to just sort of put a copy down in your belt...

i don't know what the solution is when a society gets into censorship, government
censorship, but that's what we're in now. do the rules change? i just got my book back,
my latest book back from the cia censors. if i had not submitted it to them, i would have
gone to jail, without trial - blow off juries and all that sort of thing - for having violated
our censorship laws....

so now we have the cia running the operation in nicaragua, lying to us, running 50 covert
actions, and gearing us up for our next war, the central american war. let there be no
doubt about it, president reagan has a fixation on nicaragua. he came into office saying
that we shouldn't be afraid of war, saying we have to face and erase the scars of the
vietnam war. he said in 1983, `we will do whatever is necessary to defeat the sandinistas.
admiral laroque, at the center for defense information in washington, says this is the most
elaborately prepared invasion that the u.s. has ever done. at least that he's witnessed in his
40 years of association with our military.

we have rehearsed the invasion of nicaragua in operations big pine i, big pine ii, ocean
venture, grenada, big pine iii. we have troops right now in honduras preparing. we've
built 12 bases, including 8 airstrips. obviously we don't need 8 airstrips in honduras for
any purpose, except to support the invasion of nicaragua. we've built radar stations
around, to survey and watch. some of these ventures have been huge ones. hundreds of
airplanes, 30,000 troops, rehearsing
the invasion of nicaragua.

and of course, americans are being given this negative view of these evil communist
dictators in managua, just two days drive from harlington, texas. (they drive faster than i
do by the way). i saw an ad on tv just two days ago in which they said that it was just two
hours from managua to texas. all of this getting us ready for the invasion of nicaragua, for
our next war.

most of the people - 75% of the people - are polled as being against this action. however,
president eisenhower said, `the people of the world genuinely want peace. someday the
leadership of the world are going to have to give in and give it to them'. but to date, the
leaders never have, they've always been able to outwit the people, us, and get us into the
wars when they've chosen to do so.

people ask, how is this possible? i get this all the time.... americans are decent people.
they are nice people. and they're insulated in the worlds that they live in, and they don't
understand
and we don't read our history. history is the history of war. of leaders of countries finding
reasons and rationales to send the young men off to fight.

in our country we talk about peace. but look at our own record. we have over 200
incidents in which we put our troops into other countries to force them to our will. now
we're being prepared to hate the sandinistas. the leaders are doing exactly what they have
done time and again throughout history. in the past we were taught to hate and fight the
seminole indians, after the leaders decided to annex florida. to hate and fight the cherokee
indians after they found gold
in georgia. to hate and fight mexico twice. we annexed texas, new mexico,
arizona, part of colorado, and california.
in each of these wars the leaders have worked to organize, to orchestrate public opinion.
and then when they got people worked up, they had a trigger that would flash, that would
make people angry enough that we could go in and do....

we have a feeling that the vietnam war was the first one in which the people resisted. but
once again, we haven't read our history. kate richards-o'hare. in 1915, she said about
ww i, `the women of the u.s. are nothing but brutesalles, producing sons to be put in
the army, to be made into fertilizer'. she was jailed for 5 years for anti-war talk.

the lessons of the vietnam war for the american people is that it was a tragic mistake....
58,000 of our own young people were killed, 2 million vietnamese were killed. we
withdrew, and our position wound up actually stronger in the pacific basin.

you look around this society today to see if there's any evidence of our preparations for
war, and it hits you in the face....

'join the army. be all that you can be'. now if there was truth in advertising, obviously
those commercials would show a few seconds of young men with their legs blown off at
the knees, young men with their intestines wrapped around their necks because that's
what war is really all about.

if there was honesty on the part of the army and the government, they would tell about
the vietnam veterans. more of whom died violent deaths from suicide after they came
back from vietnam then died in the fighting itself.

then you have president reagan.... he talks about the glory of war, but you have to ask
yourself, where was he when wars were being fought that he was young enough to fight
in them? world war ii, and the korean war. where he was was in hollywood, making
films, where the blood was catsup, and you could wash it off and go out to dinner
afterwards....

where was gordon liddy when he was young enough to go and fight in a war? he was
hiding out in the u.s. running sloppy, illegal, un-professional breaking and entering
operations. now you'll forgive my egotism, at that time i was running professional
breaking and entering operations....

what about rambo himself? sylvester stallone. where was sylvester stallone during the
vietnam war? he got a draft deferment for a physical disability, and taught physical
education in a girls' school in switzerland during the war.

getting back to president reagan. he really did say that `you can always call cruise
missiles back'.... now, you can call back a b-52, and you can call back a submarine, but a
cruise missile is different.... when it lands, it goes boom!. and i would prefer that the man
with the finger on the button could understand the difference. this is the man that calls the
mx a peace-maker. this is the man who's gone on television and told us that nuclear war
could be winnable. this is the man who's gone on television and proposed that we might
want to drop demonstration [atom] bombs in europe to show people that we're serious
people. this is the man who likens the contras to the moral equivalents of our own
founding fathers. this is the man who says south africa is making progress on racial
equality. this is the man who says that the sandinistas are hunting down and hounding and
persecuting jews in nicaragua. and the jewish leaders go on tv the next day in this country
and say there are 5 jewish families in nicaragua, and they're not having any problems at
all. this is the man who says that they're financing their revolution by smuggling drugs
into the u.s. and the dea says, `it ain't true, it's president reagan's contras that are doing
it'....

[when reagan was governor of california, reagan] said `if there has to be a bloodbath
then let's get it over with'. now you have to think about this a minute. a leader of the u.s.
seriously proposing a bloodbath of our own youth. there was an outcry of the press, so 3
days later he said it again to make sure no one had misunderstood him.

read. you have to read to inform yourselves. read the book of quotes [12]. read on
reagan: the man and the presidency [3] by ronnie dugger. it gets heavy. dugger
concludes in his last chapter that president reagan has a fixation on armageddon. the
village voice 18 months ago published an article citing the 11 times that president reagan
publicly has talked about the fact that we are all living out armageddon today....

[reagan] has jerry falwell into the white house. this is the man that preaches that we
should get on our knees and beg for god to send the rapture down. hell's fires on earth so
the chosen can go up on high and all the other people can burn in hell's fires on earth.
president reagan sees himself as playing the role of the greatest leader of all times
forever. leading us into armageddon. as he goes out at the end of his long life, we'll all go
out with him....

why does the cia run 10,000 brutal covert actions? why are we destabilizing a third of the
countries in the world today when there's so much instability and misery already?

what you have to understand is the politics of paranoia. the easiest... buttons to punch are
the buttons of macho, aggression, paranoia, hate, anger, and fear. the communists are in
managua and that's just 2 hours from san diego, ca. this gets people excited, they don't
think. it's the pep-rally, the football pep-rally factor. when you get people worked up to
hate, they'll let you spend huge amounts of money on arms.

read the power elite by c. wright mills. [11] read the permanent war complex
by seymour melman. [10] cia covert actions have the function of keeping the world
hostile and unstable....

we can't take care of the poor, we can't take care of the old, but we can spend millions,
hundreds of millions of dollars to destabilize nicaragua....

why arms instead of schools? .... they can make gigantic profits off the nuclear arms race
because of the hysteria, and the paranoia, and the secrecy. and that's why they're
committed to building more and more and more weapons, is because they're committed
to making a profit. and that's what the propaganda, and that's what the hysteria is all
about. now people say, `what can i do?'....

the youth did rise up and stop the vietnam war....

we have to join hands with the people in england, and france, and germany, and israel,
and the soviet union, and china, and india - the countries that have the bomb, and the
others that are trying to get it. and give our leaders no choice. they have to find some
other way to do business other than to motivate us through hate and paranoia and anger
and killing, or we'll find other leaders to run the country.

now, helen caldicott, at the end of her lectures, i've heard her say, very effectively, `tell
people to get out and get to work on the problem.... you'll feel better'....

'what can i do?'.... if you can travel, go to nicaragua and see for yourself. go to the nevada
test site and see for yourself. go to pantex on hiroshima day this summer, and see the vigil
there. the place where we make 10 nose-cones a day, 70 a week, year in and year out. he
[admiral larock] said, `i'd tell them, if they feel comfortable lying down in front of trucks
with bombs on them, to lie down in front of trucks with bombs on them.' but he said, `i'd
tell them that they can't wait. they've got to start tomorrow, today, and do it, what they
can, every day of their lives'.

911 victim's wife, ellen mariani, files rico act

[racketeer influenced and corrupt organizations act]
federal court complaint against president bush
and cabinet members
(philadelphia, pa - 11/26/03) - philip j. berg, esquire, announced today that he, attorney
for ellen mariani, wife of louis neil mariani, who died when united air lines flight 175
was flown into the south tower of the world trade center on 9-11 at a news conference
regarding the filing of a detailed amended complaint in the united states district court for
the eastern district of pennsylvania on 11/26/03 in the case of mariani vs. bush et al that
he is alleging president bush and officials including, but not limited to cheney, ashcroft,
rumsfeld and feinberg that they:
1. had knowledge/warnings of 911 and failed to warn or take steps to prevent;
2. have been covering up the truth of 911; and
3. have therefore violated the laws of the united states; and
4. are being sued under the civil rico act.
berg stated: “i will be detailing the charges against bush and others and handing out
copies of the:
1. amended complaint;
2. a letter from ellen mariani to president bush that sets forth her beliefs that president
bush knowingly and willfully failed to act and prevent the murder of her husband on 911
and the ongoing obstruction of justice; and
3. a sworn affidavit that the united states government twenty-eight [28] years ago
undertook a study to prevent the very events of 911.
mrs. mariani was the first victim family member to bring civil action regarding the events
of 911 against united airlines. since then, the “truth” of 911 has not been forthcoming and
mrs. mariani, for the good of her country, now seeks the truth via this courageous action
under the rico act.
berg said: “the events surrounding "911" to date have yet to be uncovered.
while america was under attack, for approximately the next seven (7) to eighteen (1cool
minutes defendant gwb continues to listen to the goat story while plaintiff's husband was
just murdered and does not immediately assume his duties as commander-in-chief of the
united states armed forces.
plaintiff, with her amended complaint intends to expose the truth to remember the dead
and to prevent continued deaths of american military personnel due to president bush's
"failure to act and prevent" the worst attacks on our nation since pearl harbor.
plaintiff hereby asserts defendants, officially and individually are exclusively liable to
answer the counts in this complaint under the united states constitution and provisions of
the 18 u.s.c. § 1964(a) and (c), racketeer influenced and corrupt organizations act
(hereinafter "rico act") for "failing to act and prevent" the murder of plaintiff's husband,
louis neil mariani, for financial and political reasons and have "obstructed justice" in the
aftermath of said criminal acts and omissions.
defendant gwb has purported to the american people and the plaintiff that the infamous
attacks of "911" were directly masterminded by osama bin laden and his al qaeda network
terrorists (hereinafter "obl"), almost immediately after the attacks. yet, defendant gwb has
not been forthright and honest with regard to his administration's pre-knowledge of the
potential of the "911" attacks and plaintiff seeks to compel defendant gwb to justify why
her husband louis neil mariani died on "911.'
plaintiff believes defendant gwb is invoking a long standard operating procedure of
invoking national security and executive privilege claims to suppress the basis of this
lawsuit that defendant gwb, et al., failed to act and prevent the "911" attacks.
plaintiff asserts, contrary to defendant gwb's assertion that obl is responsible for "911,"
the compelling evidence that will be presented in this case through discovery, subpoena
power by this court and testimony at trial will lead to one undisputed fact, defendant gwb
failed to act and prevent "911" knowing the attacks would lead to our nation having to
engage in an "international war on terror (iwot)" which would benefit defendants both
financially and for political reasons.
there are significant business ties that will be proven between defendants and obl's family
which raise serious conflict of interest and other matters wherein "failing to act and
prevent" the "911" attacks have benefited defendants.
reports have emerged and will be confirmed through discovery that the carlyle group, the
giant u.s. defense contractor until recently employed defendant and former president ghb.
hence, the "bush family" and other defendants financial profiting by war goes to the heart
of plaintiff's rico act claim.
plaintiff asserts, in the late 1970's and throughout the 1980's, defendants were allies with
obl and saddam hussein during the former soviet union's invasion of afghanistan and iran-
iraq war respectively, wherein, personal and political deals were made and it is believed
upon discovery, these dealings hold the truth about "911."
in sum, plaintiff will call to trial former federal employees with firsthand knowledge and
expertise with military intelligence and other duties to support the underlying rico act
foundational basis to prove defendants have engaged in a "pattern of criminal activity and
obstruction of justice" in violation of the public trust and laws of the united states for
personal and financial gains.
plaintiff will prove, defendants have engaged our nation in an endless war on terror to
achieve their personal goals and agendas.

911 victim ellen mariani open letter to the president of the united states
thursday, 27 november 2003

mr. bush,

this ''open letter'' is coming from my heart. i want you to know that i am neither a
republican nor a democrat and that this is not an attempt to ''bash the government''.

you mr. bush should be held responsible and liable for any and all acts that were
committed to aid in any "cover up" of the tragic events of september 11, 2001. as
president you have a duty to protect the american people. on september 11th you did not
instruct your staff to issue a nationwide emergency warning/alert to advise us of the
attack on america. we had to receive the news of the attacks via the news networks.

in the months leading up to the attacks you were repeatedly advised of a possible attack
on american soil. during your daily intelligence briefings you were given information that
had been uncovered that the very real possibility existed that certain undesirable elements
would use commercial aircraft to destroy certain "target" buildings. you never warned the
american people of this possible threat. who were you protecting?

when you took no responsibility towards protecting the general public from the
possibility of attack, you were certainly not upholding the oath you spoke when you took
office. in that oath you pledged to uphold the constitution of the united states of america.

on the morning of the attack, you and members of your staff were fully aware of the
unfolding events yet you chose to continue on to the emma e. booker elementary school
to proceed with a scheduled event and "photo op". while our nation was under attack you
did not appear to blink an eye or shed a tear. you continued on as if everything was
"business as usual".

in the days following the attacks all air traffic was grounded and americans, including
myself, were stranded wherever they had been when the flight ban was imposed. i was
stranded at midway airport in chicago, unable to continue on to california for my
daughter's wedding. imagine my surprise when i later found out that during this "no fly"
period a number of people were flown out of the country on a 747 with arabic lettering on
the fuselage. none of these people were interviewed or questioned by any local, state or
federal agencies. why were they allowed to leave and who exactly was on that flight. we
know for a fact that some of the people on the flight were members of (or related to) the
royal family of saudi arabia and members of the bin laden family. were these people
allowed to leave because of the long-standing relationships that your family has with both
families?

it is my belief that you intentionally allowed 9/11 to happen to gather public support for
a "war on terrorism". these wars, in afghanistan and iraq, have not accomplished what
you stated were your goals. why have you not captured osama bin laden? where are
saddam's weapons of mass destruction? all that has happened is a bill that is passed
before congress for 87 billion dollars to rebuild what you ordered blown to bits. as an
american who lost a loved one in the "war on terror" i do pray and support our troops
who were sent to afghanistan and iraq by you. these troops have and will continue to die
for your lies. as an american i can make this statement as it appears that associates of
your family may stand to prosper from the rebuilding of afghanistan and iraq.

mr. bush the time has come for you to stop your control over us. stop blocking the
release of certain evidence and documents that were discovered by the 9/11 investigation
commission if you have nothing to hide proving you did not fail to act and prevent the
attacks of 9/11. your reason for not releasing this material is that it is a matter of "national
security". when in fact i believe that it is your personal credibility/security that you
are concerned with. you do not want the public to know the full extent of your
responsibility and involvement.

after 9/11 the patriot act and homeland security act were passed. both of these allow the
government to tap your telephone, search your home, and seize whatever they feel they
need to do on a whim. they can do this without a judge's review or a warrant. i feel that
this is in direct conflict with our rights as stated in the constitution and bill of rights.

we the families of 9/11 victims need to have answers to the following questions:

1. why were 29 pages of the 9/11committee report personally censored at your request?
2. where are the "black boxes" from flight 11 and flight 175?

3. where are the "voice recorders" from flight 11 and flight 175?

4. why can't we gain access to the complete air traffic control records for flight 11 and
flight 175?

5. where are the airport surveillance tapes that show the passengers boarding the
doomed flights?

6. when will complete passenger lists for all of the flights be released?

7. why did your brother jeb (the governor of florida) go to the offices of the hoffman
aviation school and order that flight records and files be removed? these files were then
put on a c130 government cargo plane and flown out of the country. where were they
taken and who ordered it done?

it has been over two years since hundreds of our lost loved ones "remains" have still yet
to be identified and their remains placed in a landfill at fresh kill. we want our heroes
brought back and given a public and proud resting place where we all can pay our
respects and honor them. these innocent people never had a chance as they were taken
from us on that sad september day.

in the court of public opinion mr. bush, your lies are being uncovered each day. my
husband, all of the other victims and their families and our nation as a whole, has been
victimized by your failed leadership prior to and after 9/11!

i will prove this in a court of law!

ellen m. mariani

criminal complaint

in the chicago federal grand jury(ies)

re.: ramifications of the valery plame leak case, to wit:

- bribery of justice antonin scalia in bush v. gore

 - criminal aspects of 9-11-1

complainant: dr. jur. stefan g. e. grossmann, c/o schroer & grossmann,

schillerstr. 4, 60313 frankfurt am main, germany, (001 49 69) 299869-45

date: september 15th, 2005

addressed to: u.s. district attorney patrick fitzgerald (open letter)

dear mr. fitzgerald:

if the reports on the internet about your grand jury activities are in any way correct i wish
to congratulate you on your efforts to save america and the entire world from criminal
monsters. i have additional information that i would like to bring to your attention. --
briefly:

1. the bribery:

as a german lawyer with 15 years of consulting experience in large u.s. litigations, i have
repeatedly come across a purported secret control group that appears to manipulate such
large court processes, in the state and federal courts. at the heart of this is, to my mind, a
lawyer in miami (also new york), marvin rosen, the political power broker of the national
law firm greenberg traurig, the former dnc finance chairman for bill clinton’s reelection,
and moreover an alleged corrupt fixer who undeniedly swindled millions of dollars out of
a collapsing savings and loan bank in the late 1980s.

to the best of my research from published materials, greenberg traurig as counsel for the
unelected president-pretender george w. bush bribed justice antonin scalia in bush v. gore
in late 2000 and early 2001. in timely conjunction (january 10, 2001, according to a
greenberg traurig press release) with the december 12th, 2000 supreme court decision, the
son of antonin scalia, john scalia, was given by bush’s lawyers, shortly after bush’s
victory but before his inauguration, valuable shares in the self-same law firm valued by
myself upon information and belief between $6.5 million and $13 million. the result was,
in the findings of a georgetown law school professor in his detailed ethics review, (at
least the appearance of) an unethical behavior of justice antonin scalia, i.e. a legally
relevant ethics violation of justice antonin scalia. to my mind, this corruptly motivated
procedural error constitutes a fraud upon the court and moreover vitiates and nullifies the
entire supreme court decision in bush v gore and the subsequent pseudo-presidency of the
alleged incumbent bush, including his entry into the 2004 reelection as a „president“.
criminally, there is a good argument for the presence of bribery in this context.

the facts have been reported in bits and pieces on the internet and in own communications
of that law firm, however have never been assembled in this completeness before. you
would have to deny your new york and chicago heritage before you could decline to see
in this a corrupt connection that meets, in my opinion, applicable bribery laws enacted to
protect the federal u.s. court system.

i have written up the essential details in an investigative piece at the following link:

http://www.cloakanddagger.de/media/grossmann/part%202/criminal_presidents_legal_op
inion_part_2.htm

as an important jurisdictional side effect, george w. bush is no lawfully created president

and hence enjoys no constitutional privileges of a president. he is the creature of a secret
shadow government, which is an aspect i shed light on in part 1 of the same investigative
piece, link at:

http://www.cloakanddagger.de/media/grossmann/criminal_presidents_legal_opinion.htm

as to 9-11, basically a giant insurance fraud by a known american insider clique who are
insanely driven to acquire black funds (albeit with deadly political side effects such as
breaking up the u.s. constitution), the details are manifest after over three years of

christopher bollyn, american free press, reports:

samuel danner (electrical engineer for amtrak), was involved in the clean-up at the
pentagon crash site and inspected the debris at the site. he said, "it was not a boeing 757
that hit the pentagon. the plane looked like a hump-back whale."

he thinks a global hawk hit the pentagon. (there were only seven made as of 9/11/01 and
two were missing at the time.)

danner is a former pilot. he said the aircraft that hit the pentagon was very quiet with one
engine near the back. he also saw a second plane overhead and wonders if it was
controlling the plane that hit the pentagon. he walked the lawn and picked up small pieces
of debris with others. he did not see any bodies from the aircraft.

danner is very ill now with lymphoma, which may be the result of du exposure at the
pentagon on 9/11. he wants to talk now (after seeing "loose change") because "it's been
bugging me."

the global hawk fired a du missile that penetrated the thick concrete wall of the pentagon.
du was detected at the time and workers on the scene later in the day wore protective
equipment.

------

yep, this 53-yr old sam danner, a pilot since the age of 16, was a first-hand observer of
the crash. he pulled his car over to the south of the pentagon on the right side of 395
when he saw the approach of the plane that hit the pentagon.
he also observed a bunch of guys outside the pentagon standing there looking through
binoculars.

he got a good view of the plane's approach, for a duration of at least three seconds. he
says that the plane was not a 757, no way. "it was like a humpback whale" he says. . . .
one engine on the backside with a "v" tail and no windows he could see. and it was very
quiet. going about 400mph. overhead, at an estimated 15,000 feet he saw another plane.

as an emt, he ran over to help at the pentagon, but found no bodies, no wreckage from a
boeing aircraft on the scene. he smelled cordite and he saw a 3-foot single engine on the
ground there. he picked up graphite pieces similar to the composite wings on a global
hawk.

this engine matches the description of the single engine of a globalhawk. the globalhawk
is a uav (unmanned aerial vehicle) but could not have caused the damage if it wasn't
containing a bunker-busting missle deployed on impact. the plane observed overhead
might have been the plane controlling the remotely-controlled mission.

if a 757 had crashed into the pentagon, then there would have been aluminum all over the
grass and two 9-foot diameter engines.

9-11 press release

scholars repudiate official version of 9/11

scholars claim government's account violates laws of physics and engineering.
(prweb) january 27, 2006 -- an influential group of prominent experts and scholars have
joined together alleging that senior government officials have covered up crucial facts
about what really happened on 9/11. the members of this new non-partisan association,
"scholars for 9/11 truth" (s9/11t), are convinced their research proves the current
administration has been dishonest with the nation about events in new york and
washington, d.c.

these experts contend that books and articles by members and associates have established
that the world trade center was almost certainly brought down by controlled demolitions
and that the available relevant evidence casts grave doubt on the official story about the
attack on the pentagon. they believe that the government not only permitted 9/11 to occur
but may even have orchestrated these events to facilitate its political agenda.

the society includes u.s. and international faculty and students of history, science, military
affairs, psychology, and even philosophy. according to its spokesmen, s9/11t represents a
concerted effort to uphold the standards of truth and justice and to strengthen democracy
in this nation, which has taken a terrible hit in the aftermath of 9/11, when "everything
changed." its function is to bring scientific rigor to the study of 9/11 phenomena.

the members of this group are dedicated to exposing falsehoods and to revealing truths
behind 9/11, "letting the chips fall where they may." the evidence has become sufficiently
strong that they are speaking out. they are actively devoting themselves to reporting the
results of their research to the public by means of lectures, articles, and other venues.

the society includes numerous notable professors and scholars, including:

• morgan reynolds, texas a & m professor emeritus of economics, former chief economist
for the department of labor for president george w. bush, and former director of the
criminal justice center at the national center for policy analysis

• steven e. jones, professor of physics, brigham young university, co-chair of s9/11t and
the creator of its home page and its forum

• robert m. bowman, former director of the u.s. "star wars" space defense program in both
republican and democratic administrations, a former senior air force colonel with 101
combat missions, who is also a catholic archbishop

• lloyd demause, director of the institute for psychohistory, president of the international
psychohistorical association and editor of the journal of psychohistory

• james h. fetzer, distinguished mcknight university professor of philosophy at the

university of minnesota, duluth, author or editor of more than 20 books and co-chair of
s9/11t

• daniele ganser, senior researcher at the center for security studies of the swiss federal
institute of technology

• andreas von buelow, former assistant german defense minister, director of the german
secret service, minister for research and technology, and member of parliament for 25
years

the society, founded by professors fetzer and jones, who serve as its co-chairs, is
approaching 50 members to date. fetzer, a philosopher of science, observed that the
government's "official account" is not even physically possible, because it violates laws
of nature. "what we have been told is fine," he said, "if you are willing to believe
impossible things. serious scholars don't believe in tooth fairies."

beyond encouraging its members to vigorously express their concerns on this score
through lectures, conferences, symposia, articles, and books as well as other access routes
that publicize their findings, the society's initial activities, which are expected to increase
in frequency and intensity, include the following projects and endeavors:
• professor jones is refining his influential analysis of the physics of the collapse of
buildings at the world trade center.

• professor fetzer is editing a collection of new studies about 9/11 that will include
contributions from the members of s9/11t.

• a major conference is being planned for this fall to further inform the american public
about the group's most recent findings

studies by the society's founders and by prominent theologian david ray griffin, who has
taken a leading role in exposing false claims about 9/11, are accessible from the
association's home page, www.scholarsfor911truth.org
<http://www.scholarsfor911truth.org>. information for those who may want to join s9/11t
can also be found there...

an open letter to the 9/11 commission

dear 9/11 commissioners,

abraham lincoln once said, “a house divided against itself cannot stand." the united states
is now divided on what it believes about september 11, 2001. a cnn poll conducted on
march 25, 2006 revealed that 84% of the 52 thousand people polled now believe that the
u.s. government has not thoroughly answered 9/11 questions. 84 percent!

between may 12, 2006 and may 16, 2006, zogby international conducted a nationwide
poll pertaining to the government’s account of 9/11. here are the results:

bush exploited sept. 11th attacks 44%

us government and 9/11 commission are covering up 42%

9/11 should be reinvestigated 45%

i believe this government, our country, cannot endure permanently with tens of millions
believing that the government is involved in a cover-up regarding september 11th 2001.
the united states of america is divided. the division is so great that resolution must now
be found. in my opinion, re-opening 9/11 is a matter of national defense. “debate” is the
answer. the national 9/11 debate will be an outward sign of an inward desire to resolve
the unanswered and persistent questions that remain about what really happened in the
united states on september 11, 2001.
so what should patriotic americans do with our grievances? we have called for a debate.
not just a few americans want this debate - tens of millions of americans are demanding
answers to be derived from a public - people’s forum. it is the enormity of those that
oppose the government’s account of 9/11 that has prompted me to draw the line in the
sand, to pick a date, time, and location to have a public debate on 9/11. i then sought out
the most reputable and credentialed experts from the 9/11 truth movement to debate
members of the 9/11 commission and the nist scientists.

the seven-member debate team that will dispute the government account of 9/11 is as
follows:

philip j. berg, esquire is a former deputy attorney general of pennsylvania, and the
attorney for plaintiffs in 9-11 rico suit vs. bush. his web site, 911forthetruth.com covers
the rico lawsuit against bush, cheney, and 53 other defendants in federal court.

james h. fetzer a distinguished mcknight university professor of philosophy at the

university of minnesota, duluth, a former marine corps officer, the author or editor of 27
books, and founder and co-chairman of scholars for 9/11 truth.

david ray griffin is professor emeritus of philosophy and theology at the claremont
graduate school, where he taught for over 30 years, retiring in 2004. he has authored or
edited over thirty books, including "the new pearl harbor: disturbing questions about the
bush administration and 9/11" and “christian faith and the truth behind 9/11”.

steven e. jones is the co-chairman of scholars for 9/11 truth, a professor of physics at
brigham young university, an expert in cold fusion and solar energy who earned his ph.d.
at vanderbilt, and who has authored an influential study of the collapse of the twin towers
(wtc-1, wtc-2).

george nelson, colonel, usaf (retired) is a trained aircraft accident investigator who served
as an aircraft maintenance manager for more than 30 years and who was assigned
additional duties as a member of aircraft accident investigation teams for the united states
air force.

morgan reynolds is a professor emeritus of economics at texas a&m. he is the former

chief economist for the department of labor for president george w. bush. he is also the
former director of the criminal justice center at the national center for policy analysis. in
june 2005, lew rockwell published reynolds’ article: why did the trade center skyscrapers
collapse?

judy d. wood is a professor of mechanical engineering at clemson university with degrees

in civil engineering, engineering mechanics, and materials engineering science. professor
wood teaches courses in the areas of engineering mechanics and experimental stress
analysis.

if your initial reaction regarding the national 9/11 debate was negative - to not participate,
i ask you to please reconsider for the sake of the nation. i recognize that such a debate
could put the government in a vulnerable position, but based on the polls, to ignore the
fact that nearly half your countrymen are not satisfied with what the government has
reported on 9/11 will only deepen the division that is destroying the united states of
america. it is my belief that the lack of support for the war in iraq is rooted in the fact
that nearly half the nation doesn’t believe the 9/11 commission report. after all, if you
believe that the world trade center building seven collapsed as the result of controlled
demolition - which it did, then it is easier to believe that the twin towers were also
brought down with the aid of pre-planted explosives. with such a belief intact, how can
an american support the so-called global war on terrorism and the war in iraq?

the problem can no longer be ignored. please take a lead role in assembling a seven-
member government debate team that will debate the aforementioned seven-member
civilian debate team in charleston, sc on september 16, 2006. this event will confirm
truths, uncover truths, and beg for truths, and while it will not possibly be able to satisfy
all people, it will go a long way to heal some open wounds of a troubled nation.

the national 9/11 debate will receive national media attention. don’t let there be seven
empty seats with the names of the 9/11 commissioners and nist scientists pasted on them
for the world to see. let’s do this debate. let’s get it done.

yours in liberty,

e.f. haas

as sept. 11 approaches, millions now reject the repetitious “remembrance” propaganda

used to brainwash the public into accepting a perpetual “war on terrorism,” establishing
tyrannical federal powers, based upon the 9/11 fiction that bin laden’s hijackers (six
reported alive) seized control with box cutters, flew 757s expertly, evading the most
sophisticated defense system in the world, producing a “new pearl harbor.”
original news and firefighters’ films (see “911 in plane site”) prove noncommercial
“airliners” were used to attack, and definitive evidence of controlled demolition of the
wtc (owner: larry silverstein; security: marvin bush).
four coincidental “simulated air attack” war drills (operation vigilant guardian), including
“hijackings,” provided “cover” - piggybacking “9/11”!

___________________

sirs [fbi],

this is a tip-off insofar as it draws your attention to publicly-available, corroborated, and

incontrovertible (or, i believe in your terms 'hard') evidence, which could form the basis
of an important investigation. i have reason to believe that such an investigation would in
no way be a waste of the fbi's valuable time.

i refer you to respected physicist prof. steven e. jones' paper on the subject of the
collapses of the towers on 11th september, 2001 (reference:
http://www.physics.byu.edu/research/energy/htm7.html).

if you read prof. jones' paper, you will extract the following information which, in my
opinion, needs to be investigated:

1) as a result of the collapses, pools of molten metal were discovered. you will also read
approximate temperatures, indicated by colouring. it is well-known that as metals are
heated their colouring changes, rendering (visibly) an approximation to their temperature.
you will also find accurate infra-red temperature measurements obtained by means of
satellites. added to this aspect (i.e. the existence and temperatures of these pools) is their
persistence, at ground zero, for weeks following the events.

2) neither the original fema investigation, nor the independent 9/11 commission, nor the
national institute of standards and technology (nor, indeed, articles in popular mechanics,
etc.) have addressed this incontrovertible evidence in any way whatsoever.

consequently none of these prior investigations has created a scientifically-conclusive

description as to why the towers collapsed, how they collapsed in the manner we all saw
on television, and (most importantly) how these residual pools of molten metal could
have been formed. and, furthermore, how the molten metal could have persisted for up to
six weeks following the events.

i suggest that you should apply resources to create a definitive explanation, which takes
all aspects into account, and considers all possibilities. i believe that the american people,
especially the bereaved, deserve your fullest attention to this.
in addition to the foregoing, i understand the mayor giuliani was instrumental in
arranging shipment of the metallic rubble, from the crime scene to overseas locations,
before a serious and stringent forensic examination could be performed. i understand that
the removal of evidence prior to a complete investigation is a federal crime. i presume
that permission for this was given, and that it was done in order to facilitate rescue
operations. however, in concert with others, i fail to understand why the rubble was not
relocated to a secure location, so that it would remain available for forensic analysis.

i repeat, i believe such an investigation would in no way be a waste of the fbi's valuable
time. i would not have sent this tip if i believed to the contrary. i am firmly convinced that
a stringent investigation would elicit the following benefits:

a) as of june 5th, 2006, the fbi is on record(*) as admitting there is insufficient evidence
to link usama bin laden and al-qaeda with the 9/11 atrocity. i believe that a scientifically-
consistent explanation would conclusively rule out any such link once and for all.
(* reference link: http://www.teamliberty.net/id267.html)

b) i firmly believe that a scientifically-consistent explanation would point the fbi clearly
in the direction of the true perpetrators.

these are my reasons for supplying this tip. all that is necessary is to start with the
evidence and work backwards, in the same manner that any crime is normally
investigated. i believe i am in possession of documents that indicate this crime to be
perfectly solvable, in particular the paper to which i initially referred you. to the best of
my knowledge the city of new york has made no effort to investigate on the basis of the
evidence i bring to your attention, and five years have passed in the meantime.

if this tip-off is not followed up it might suggest to many, both inside the usa and
elsewhere, that your organisation has been specifically directed not to solve these crimes,
regardless of widespread awareness of these facts. for example, mainstream italian tv is
now debating the collapse of building 7, and showing side-by-side comparisons with a
known controlled demolition. here is a reference:
http://www.911podcasts.com/display.php?vid=113

i look forward to a positive response from you in this matter.

yours faithfully (in the hope that justice is done, and seen to be done),

"the murrah scam"

 ...
dear sen. lott:

the attached report contains conclusive proof that the bombing of the alfred p.
murrah federal building, oklahoma city, oklahoma, was not caused solely by the
truck bomb. evidence shows that the massive destruction was primarily the result of four
demolition charges placed at critical structural points at the third floor level.

weapons experience: i do not offer such an analytical conclusion lightly. i have spent
25 years in research, design, development, test and management of weapons
development. this included: handson work at the ballistic research laboratories;
commander of the air force armament technology laboratory, and ultimately management
responsibility for almost every nonnuclear weapon device in the air force (at the air force
system command, air staff and the office of the secretary of defense (osd) levels). i was
also the first chairman of the osd joint service air munitions requirements and
development committee. (a more detailed resume appears at tab 1.)

observations in oklahoma city: to verify earlier analysis, i visited oklahoma city during
the last week of june. there i had the opportunity to view hundreds of photographs taken
throughout the cleanup operation as the layers of debris were cleared away. the photos
present irrefutable evidence that at least four demolition charges were set off at four
critical columns of the reinforced concrete structure at the floor level of the third floor.

conclusion: based on my experience in weapons development and bomb damage

analysis, and on my review of all evidence available, i can say, with a high level of
confidence, that the damage pattern on the reinforced concrete superstructure could not
possibly have been attained from the single truck bomb. the total incompatibility of this
pattern of destruction with a single truck bomb lies in the simple, incontrovertible fact
that some of the columns collapsed that should not have collapsed if the damage were
caused solely by a truck bomb, and, conversely, some of the columns were left standing
that should have collapsed if the damage had been caused solely by the truck bomb.

it is my hope and request that, as a member of congress, you will support a

congressional investigation to determine the true initiators of this bombing, which could
not have occurred the way in which it has been portrayed as having happened. further, it
is requested that you defer action and reserve judgment on socalled antiterrorism
legislation that has serious civil liberties implications, and which would not be passed
except for the oklahoma city bombing until the causes of the oklahoma city disaster are
determined by independent investigators.

both the federal building in oklahoma and the trade center in new york (see new york
times, october 28, 1993, p. a1) show evidence of a counterterrorism sting gone wrong.

no government law enforcement agency should be permitted to demolish, smash and

bury evidence of a counterterrorism sting operation, sabotage or terrorist attack without a
thorough examination by an independent, technically competent agency.

if an aircraft crashed because of a bomb, or a counterterrorism sting or an faa controller

error, the faa would not be permitted to gather and bury the evidence. the national
transportation safety board would have been called in to conduct an investigation and
where possible every piece of debris would have been collected and arrayed to determine
cause of failure.

to remove all ambiguity with respect to the use of supplementary demolition charges,
the fbi should be required to release the high quality surveillance color tv camera tape of
the murrah building bombing on april 19, 1995.

it is my observation that the effort required to bomb the a. p. murrah federal building in
oklahoma city pales in comparison with the effort to cover up evidence in oklahoma and
the media's withholding of vital information from the american people.

david taus, 42, said his father was "railroaded to the hilt right before the election..."

"he is a good man and was set up big time after he wouldn't back down to signing a
document saying he wasn't aware of any criminal activity in the department," via greg
szymanski's radio talk show, the investigative journal.

"when he refused that's when the government started to try and frame him. first, they
tried to say that he misused his government credit card, which, of course was not true
and didn't stick. then they went after him with trumped up child abuse charges.

"the trial lasted 8 months and it was like a kangaroo court. witnesses and jurors were
compromised. it was a joke as the judge disregarded every objection made in my
father's defense. finally, he was given an incredibly harsh sentence, 33-99 years. he
has been in jail since 1988 and it has been incredibly difficult on him and his family,
as his health been failing and we have no money to mount what may be a final
appeal."

richard taus recently wrote a letter to the arctic beacon:

"my combat tours in vietnam initially uncovered the cia's involvement in drug
trafficking and other aspects contributing to u.s. intervention in foreign affairs, affairs
that this nation should have avoided," wrote taus from his prison cell. "affairs that
brought death and destruction to so many innocent lives with little or no benefit to
mankind.

"professor noam chomsky of mit best described this imperialistic phenomenon in his
work "the culture of terrorism." but, rather than discuss philosophy or political
science, it was academic to me as a soldier and as an fbi agent that great harm was
being done to this nation and its people by the shadowy government run by corrupt
government officials."

"the cia's own "privateers, which really are undercover agents, used the ploy termed
"plausible deniability" to hide their crimes. the cia was operating domestically both in
violation of its congressional charter and in violation of u.s. criminal laws. decent fbi
agents were aware of this, but failed to act as they were cowered by their fbi superiors
based upon political orders from higher-ups going up to the white house.

"there was denying that the cia was heavily involved in various criminal operations,
domestically. the pizza connection case proved that, although the cia tried to cover its
trail. further, my organized crime cases in new york against the mafia disclosed a
sinister relationship with the cia and mafia. for example, the five families' godfather
paul castellano, killed by gotti, was the first cousin to vito castellano who occupied key
capitol positions in albany as commissioner of commerce."

"our country, the one we soldiers felt we were fighting for its survival, is now in the
grips of selfish and greedy men intent upon their own preservation and profit," wrote
taus.

"i refused," said taus. "i reached out to senators and congressman after my appeals to
higher fbi superiors, including two directors, webster and sessions, failed to respond.

"for 25 years, from 1981 to my false arrest in 1988 and my incarceration up until now,
my story has proven to be true and accurate with many of the revelations being
disclosed by serious investigative reporters to the american people and the world."

rodney stich:
"richard made the same mistake i did, the mistake of going to the senate and
congress," "i believe richard 100 per cent and have placed parts of the manuscript he
wrote up my web site in order to spread the word.

"he will never receive any justice within the system so his only hope is for an outcry
from the american public, demanding justice."

taus's manuscript can be viewed at stich's web site at www.defraudingamerica.com.

life and loved ones. to choose to do nothing is to surrender one's self-

some of the thugs were heard talking about 'shock and awe'. they used
words like 'spectacular' and 'magnificent' to describe the impending
attacks. a writer who describes an attack on his own country does not use
the word 'spectacular':
the american heritage dictionary defines 'spectacular' thus:
'of the nature of a spectacle; impressive or sensational...an elaborate
display...splendid in appearance; grand...'
the writer who uses the word 'spectacular', is the attacker.

here again we find the operatives using the word 'spectacular':

eric lichtblau: "...the report discloses that the federal aviation
administration, despite being focused on risks of hijacking overseas,
warned airports in the spring of 2001 that if:
'...the intent of the hijacker is not to exchange hostages for prisoners,
but to commit suicide in a spectacular explosion, ... domestic hijacking
would probably be preferable."

israeli news sources said that the dirty mossad was 'documenting the event';
and they certainly did. the video ended up in the hands of al qaeda.

did the military have the proper equipment to detect 9-11? yes, yes, yes!

'the echelon system, designed and coordinated by the u.s. national security
agency (nsa) is one of the world's biggest, most closely held intelligence
projects. unlike many of the cold war electronic spy systems, echelon is
designed primarily to gather electronic transmissions from nonmilitary
targets: governments, organizations, businesses, and individuals in virtually
every country. 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...'

could the military intercept the craft? oh yes!

facsnet:
'controlling the aircraft from the ground is nothing new. the military
has been flying obsolete high performance fighter aircraft as target

configured to be remotely flown into combat as early as 1959... these

intervention needed being to fuel and re-arm them.'

conduct fully automated, mass electronic eavesdropping on e-mail, faxes and
other written communications, it cannot do so on telephone calls...the nsa
relies on an international web of eavesdropping stations around the world,
commonly known as echelon, to listen into private international

a most informative and compelling piece written by gerard holmgren:

"astute observers of history are aware that for every notable event there will
usually be at least one, often several wild conspiracy theories which spring
up around it...
... a small but gullible percentage of the population eager to lap up these
tall tales, regardless of facts or rational analysis.

one of the wilder stories circulating about september 11th -- and one that
has attracted something of a cult following amongst conspiracy buffs -- is
that it was carried out by nineteen fanatical arab hijackers, masterminded
by an evil genius named osama bin laden, with no apparent motivation
other than that they 'hate our freedoms.'

never a group of people to be bothered by facts, the perpetrators of this

cartoon fantasy have constructed an elaborately woven web of delusions
and unsubstantiated hearsay in order to promote this garbage across the
internet and the media to the extent that a number of otherwise rational
people have actually fallen under its spell...

these crackpots even contend that the extremist bush regime was caught
unawares by the attacks, had no hand in organizing them, and actually
would have stopped them if it had been able. blindly ignoring the stand
down of the us air-force, the insider trading on airline stocks -- linked to
the cia -- the complicit behavior of bush on the morning of the attacks, the
controlled demolition of the wtc, the firing of a missile into the pentagon
and a host of other documented proofs that the bush regime was behind
the attacks, the conspiracy theorists stick doggedly to a silly story about
nineteen arab hijackers somehow managing to commandeer four planes
simultaneously and fly them around us airspace for nearly two hours,
crashing them into important buildings, without the us intelligence
services having any idea that it was coming, and without the air force
knowing what to do.

the huge difficulties with such a stupid story force them to invent even
more preposterous stories to distract from its core silliness, and thus the
tale has escalated into a mythic fantasy of truly gargantuan
proportions...it should be noted that one of the curious characteristics of
conspiracy theorists is that they effortlessly change their so called evidence
in response to each aspect which is debunked. as soon as one delusion is
unmasked, they simply invent another to replace it, and deny that the first
ever existed. eventually, when they have turned full circle through this
endlessly changing fantasy fog, they then re-invent the original delusion
and deny that you ever debunked it, thus beginning the circle once more...

the suspension of disbelief required for this outrageous concoction is

only for the hard core conspiracy theorist. for a start, they conveniently
skip over the awkward fact that there weren't any arabs on the planes...
with vague mumblings that they must have been using false id -- but never
specifying which ids they are alleged to have used, or how these were
traced to their real identities ... if they used gas in a confined space, they
would have been affected themselves unless they also had masks in their
luggage.

"excuse me sir, why do you have a box cutter, a gun, a container of gas, a
gas mask and an electronic guidance unit in your luggage?"

"a present for your grandmother? very well sir, on you get."

"very strange", thinks the security officer, "that's the fourth arabic man
without an arabic name who just got on board with a knife, gun or box cutter
and gas mask...and why does that security camera keep flicking off every
time one of these characters shows up? must be one of those days i guess..."

... if they used credit cards that identified them, how does that reconcile
with the claim that they used false ids to get on to the plane?...

hmm? so they got on board with false ids but took their real passports with
them?..."well, why aren't they on the passenger lists?" "you numbskull!
they assumed the identities of other passengers!" and so on...

"... how come their passports survived fiery crashes that completely
incinerated the planes and all the passengers? "... its just one of those
strange coincidences, those little quirks of fate that do happen from time
to time. you know, like the same person winning the lottery four weeks in a
row. the odds are astronomical, but these things do happen.

...another favorite deductive method of the conspiracy theorist. the

'improbability drive', in which they decide upon a conclusion without any
evidence whatsoever to support it, and then continually speculate a series of
wildly improbable events and unbelievable co-incidences to support it,
shrugging off the implausibility of each event with the vague assertion that
sometimes the impossible happens -- just about all the time in their world.
there is a principle called 'occam's razor' which suggests that in the absence
of evidence to the contrary, the simplest explanation is most likely to be
correct. conspiracy theorists hate occam's razor.

having for the sake of amusement, allowed them to get away with the
silly story of the nineteen invisible arabs, we move on to the question of
how they are supposed to have taken over the planes.

hijacking a plane is not an easy thing to do. hijacking it without the pilot
being able to alert ground control is near impossible...the pilot has only to
punch in a four digit code to alert ground control to a hijacking.
plausibility, the conspiracy buffs maintain that on that september 11th, the
invisible hijackers took over the plane by the rather crude method of
threatening people with box cutters and knives, and spraying gas -- after they
had attached their masks, obviously -- but somehow took control of the
plane without the crew first getting a chance to punch in the hijacking
code. not just on one plane, but on all four...

so now that our incredibly lucky hijackers have taken control of the
planes, all four pilots fly them with breath taking skill and certainty to
their fiery end, all four pilots unflinching in their steely resolve for a
swift meeting with allah.... the conspiracy buffs, these guys actually went
out drinking and womanizing the night before their great martyrdom, even
leaving their korans in the bar -- really impeccable islamic behavior -- and
then got up at 5 o'clock the next morning to pull off the greatest covert
operation in history. this also requires us to believe that they were even
clear headed enough to learn how to fly the huge planes by reading flight
manuals in arabic in the car on the way to the airport. we know this
because they supposedly left the flight manuals there for us to find.

it gets better. their practical training had allegedly been limited to cessnas
and flight simulators, but this was no barrier to the unflinching certainty
with which they took over the planes and skillfully guided them to their
doom. if they are supposed to have done their flight training with these tools,
which would be available just about anywhere in the world, its not clear
why they would have decided to risk blowing their cover to us
intelligence services by doing the training in florida,...

having triumphantly established a circular delusion in support of the

mythical arabs, the conspiracy theorist now confronts the difficult
question of why there's nothing left of the planes...

did the mythical arabs also haul a huge heap of explosives on board, and
mange to deploy them in such a manner that they went off in the exact
instant of the crash, completely vaporizing the plane? this is a little difficult
even for the conspiracy theorist, who at this point decides that it’s easier to
invent new laws of physics in order to keep the delusion rolling along.

there weren't any explosives. it wasn't an inside job. the plane blew up into
nothing from its exploding fuel load! remarkable, quite remarkable.
sluggishly combustible jet fuel which is basically kerosene, and which
burns at a maximum temperature of around 800 degrees celsius has
suddenly taken on the qualities of a ferociously explosive demolition
agent, vaporizing sixty-five tons of aircraft into a puff of smoke. never
mind that a plane of that size contains around fifteen tons of steel and
titanium, of which even the melting points are about double that of the
maximum combustion temperature of kerosene -- let alone the boiling
point -- which is what would be required to vaporize a plane. and then
there's about fifty tons of aluminum to be accounted for. in excess of 15 lbs
of metal for each gallon of kerosene.

for the conspiracy theorist, such inconvenient facts are vaguely dismissed
as 'mumbo jumbo'. this convenient little phrase is their answer to just
about anything factual or logical...blissfully ignoring the fact that never
before or since in aviation history has a plane vaporized into nothing from
an exploding fuel load, the conspiracy theorist relies upon hollywood
images, where the effects are always larger than life, and certainly
larger than the intellects of these cretins...

at this point the mad but cunning eyes of the conspiracy theorist will
narrow as they sense the corner that they have backed themselves into,
and plan their escape by means of another stunning back flip.

"ah, but planes have never crashed into buildings before, so there's no way
of telling." they counter with a sly grin. well, actually planes have crashed
into buildings before and since, and not vaporized into nothing. "but not big
planes, with that much fuel", they shriek in hysterical denial. or that much
metal to vaporize.

"yes but not hijacked planes!" "are you suggesting that whether the crash is
deliberate or accidental affects the combustion qualities of the fuel?" "now
you're just being silly".

although collisions with buildings are rare, planes frequently crash into
mountains, streets, other aircraft, nosedive into the ground, or have
bombs planted aboard them, and don't vaporize into nothing...
but the hurdles which confront the conspiracy theorist are many, and they
are now forced to implement even more creative uses for the newly
discovered shockingly destructive qualities of kerosene...

...it not only consumed itself in a sudden catastrophic fireball , vaporizing

a sixty-five ton plane into nothing, but then came back for a second go,
burning at 2000 degrees centigrade for another hour at the impact point,
melting the skyscraper's steel like butter... gleefully, they claim that a few
thousand gallons of kerosene is enough to:

- completely vaporize a sixty-five ton aircraft

- have enough left over to burn ferociously enough for over an hour at the
impact point to melt steel -- melting point about double the maximum
combustion temperature of the fuel

- still have enough left over to pour down the elevator shafts and start
similarly destructive fires all through the building

this kerosene really is remarkable stuff! how chilling to realize that those
kerosene heaters we had in the house when i was a kid were deadly bombs,
just waiting to go off. one false move and the entire street might have been
vaporized. and never again will i take kerosene lamps out camping. one
moment you're there innocently holding the lamp -- the next -- kapow!
vaporized into nothing along with the rest of the camp site, and still
leaving enough of the deadly stuff to start a massive forest fire.

these whackos are actually claiming that the raging inferno allegedly
created by the miraculously recycling, and impossibly hot burning
kerosene melted or at least softened the steel supports of the skyscraper.
oblivious to the fact that the black smoke coming from the wtc indicates an
oxygen starved fire -- therefore not particularly hot -- they trumpet an
alleged temperature in the building of 2000 degrees centigrade, without a
shred of evidence to support this curious suspension of the laws of physics.

...they then contend that as the steel frames softened, they came straight
down instead of buckling and twisting and falling sideways.

since they're already re-engineered the combustion qualities of jet fuel,

violated the second law of thermodynamics, and redefined the structural
properties of steel, why let a little thing like the laws of gravity get in the
way?

the tower fell in a time almost identical to that of a free falling object,
dropped from that height, meaning that its physically impossible for it to
have collapsed by the method of the top floors smashing through the lower
floors. but according to the conspiracy theorists, the laws of gravity were
temporarily suspended on the morning of september 11th. it appears that
the evil psychic power of those dreadful arabs knew no bounds...

clearly, these conspiracy nuts never did their science homework at school,
but did become extremely adept at inventing tall tales ...
the ferocious heat generated by this ghastly kerosene was, according to
the conspiracy theorists, the reason why so many of the wtc victims
can't be identified. dna is destroyed by heat -- although 2000 degrees
centigrade isn't really required, 100 degrees centigrade will generally do
the job. this is quite remarkable, because according to the conspiracy
theorist, the nature of dna suddenly changes if you go to a
different city.

that's right, if you are killed by an arab terrorist in new york, your dna
will be destroyed by such temperatures. but if you are killed by an arab
terrorist in washington, your dna will be so robust that it can survive
temperatures which completely vaporize a sixty-five ton aircraft.

you see, these loonies have somehow concocted the idea that the missile
which hit the pentagon was not a missile at all, but one of the hijacked
planes. and to prove this unlikely premise, they point to a propaganda
statement from the bush regime, which rather stupidly claims that all
but one of the people aboard the plane were identified from the site by
dna testing, even though nothing remains of the plane. the plane was
vaporized by the fuel tank explosion, maintain these space loonies, but the
people inside it were all but one identified by dna testing.

so there we have it. the qualities of dna are different, depending upon
which city you're in, or perhaps depending upon which fairy story you're
trying to sell at any particular time.

...the object which penetrated the pentagon went in at about a 45 degree

angle, punching a neat circular hole of about a 12 foot diameter through
three rings -- six walls. a little later a section of wall about 65 foot wide
collapsed in the outer ring. since the plane which the conspiracy theorists
claim to be responsible for the impact had a wing span of 125 feet and a
length of 155 feet, and there was no wreckage of the plane, either inside or
outside the building, and the lawns outside were still smooth and green
enough to play golf on, this crazy delusion is clearly physically impossible.

... i would have thought that the observation that a solid object cannot pass
through another solid object without leaving a hole at least as big as itself
is reasonably sound science. but to the conspiracy theorist, this is 'mumbo
jumbo'. it conflicts with the delusion that they're hooked on, so it 'must be
wrong' although trying to get them to explain exactly how it could be
wrong is a futile endeavor.

... they first argue that the reason the hole is so small is that the plane
never entered the wall, having blown up outside, and then suddenly back
flip to explain the 250 foot deep missile hole by saying that the plane
disappeared all the way into the building, and then blew up inside the
building -- even though the building shows no sign of such damage. as for
what happened to the wings -- here's where they get really creative. the
wings snapped off and folded into the fuselage which then carried them
into the building, which then closed up behind the plane like a piece of
meat.

when it suits them, they'll also claim that the plane slid in on its belly --
ignoring the undamaged lawn ...

once they get desperate enough, you can be sure that the ufo conspiracy
stuff will make an appearance...

at a less serious time, we might tolerate such crackpots with amused

detachment, but they need to understand that the treachery that was
perpetrated on september 11th, and the subsequent war crimes committed
in 'retaliation' are far too serious for us to allow such frivolous self
indulgence to go unchallenged.

those who are truly addicted to conspiracy delusions should find a more
appropriate outlet for their paranoia.

its time to stop loony conspiracy theories about september 11th."

one israeli source (via jeff steinberg): "cheney has told ariel sharon that the american
people will never tolerate the removal of a president or vice president during wartime.
he is pressuring sharon to back up u.s. war plans, targeting syria and iran. cheney sees
his political days numbered, and he is desperate for a war to save his political hide."

former cia analyst philip giraldi has told us a lot. some of us do not believe him because
we are trapped in our political and religious tribal idiot boxes. giraldi had written in the
american conservative that vice president cheney had ordered the strategic command
(stratcom) to prepare war plans against iran. he warned about the "911-type" terrorist
attack on the continental united states. yet fools are not listening.

wall street journal: "there are signs that prosecutors now are looking into contacts
between administration officials and journalists that took place much earlier than
previously thought. earlier conversations are potentially significant, because that
suggests that the special prosecutor leading the investigation is exploring whether
there was an effort within the administration at an early stage to develop and
disseminate confidential information to the press that could undercut former
ambassador joseph wilson and his wife, central intelligence agency official valerie
plame."

rawstory.com: "two officials close to fitzgerald told raw story they have seen documents
obtained from the white house iraq group which state that cheney was present at
several of the group's meetings. they say cheney personally discussed with individuals
in attendance, at least two interviews in may and june of 2003 [that ambassador
joseph] wilson gave to new york times columnist nicholas kristof and washington post
reporter walter pincus, in which he claimed the administration 'twisted' prewar
intelligence and what the response from the administration should be."

rawstory.com: "sources close to the investigation have also confirmed that special
prosecutor patrick fitzgerald is trying to determine vice president cheney's role in the
outing of mrs. wilson, more specifically, if cheney ordered the leak."

the journal concluded: "lawyers familiar with the investigation believe that at least part
of the outcome likely hangs on the inner workings of what has been dubbed the white
house iraq group. formed in august 2002, the group, which included messrs. rove and
libby, worked on setting strategy for selling the war in iraq to the public in the months
leading up to the march 2003 invasion. the group likely would have played a
significant role in responding to mr. wilson's claims."

whilimena says: there are two individuals who make me cry and laugh

because of this why i would like to sit and have a few vodkas and orange with
my good pal buzz to chat a little. one moment i think that he probably did
not know about 9-11 and yet another minute i think otherwise. i say this
because of some of the things he said:
on the day of the attacks it was the buzz who remarked at barksdale:
'make no mistake - the united states will hunt down and
punish those responsible for these cowardly acts.'

and, listen to this - although the buzz said that he would 'hunt down' the
terrorists, abc, march 13, 2002, reported that he later stated:
'i truly am not that concerned about him [osama bin laden].'
********

is there a history of military 'stand down'? oh yes!

jack blum unleashed this bombshell:
'we [investigators] ran into another procedure which was extremely
troubling. there was a system for stopping customs inspections of inbound
and outbound aircraft from miami and from other airports in florida. people
would call the customs office and say, 'stand down. flights are going out.
flights are coming in'.

what do ya make of this?:

in an interview with patriot alex jones, attorney stanley hilton stated:
'our case [lawsuit] is alleging that bush [43] and his puppets rice and cheney
and mueller and rumsfeld and so forth; tenet - were all involved not only in
aiding and abetting and allowing 9/11 to happen but in actually ordering it to
happen...we have some very incriminating documents as well as eyewitnesses,
that bush personally ordered this event to happen in order to gain political
advantage...i went to school with some of these neocons. at the university of
chicago, in the late 60's with wolfowitz and feith and several of the others
and so i know these people personally. and we used to talk about this stuff
all of the time. and i did my senior thesis on this very subject - how to turn
the u.s. into a presidential dictatorship by manufacturing a bogus pearl
harbor event. so, technically this has been in the planning at least 35
years...yeah, we are suing bush, condoleeza rice, cheney, rumsfeld, mueller,
etc., for complicity in personally not only allowing 9/11 to happen but in
ordering it...the hijackers were u.s. undercover agents...it's not just
incompetence - in spite of the fact that he is incompetent...at one point,
there were rehearsals of this. the reason why he appeared to be
uninterested and nonchalant on september 11th...is that he thought this was
another rehearsal. these people had dress rehearsed this many times. he
had seen simulated videos of this. in fact, he even made a freudian
slip...when he said he had, quote, 'seen on television the first plane attack
the first tower.'
funny, but since stanley started his whistleblowing, he has been under
constant fire from al qaeda operatives.

who trained the alleged terrorists for the 9-11 mission - saddam hussein?
manuel noriega? kim jung il? no bro! it was our boys!
those terrorists got their training in america, in full view of the security

american police lamented that the vehicles used for target practice were
school buses and police cars.
'u.s. military sources have given the fbi information that suggests five
of the alleged hijackers of the planes that were used in [september 11]

the crackpots who made the hole in pennsylvania failed to construct it to

show a craft crashing from an angle. there was green grass in the hole.
what about the vertical free-fall of the wtc towers could this be as a result
of impacts and fire? hell no!

jerry russell, ma (eng) and ph.d.(psychol). he wrote: '...the trick is to

distribute explosives at key points throughout the structure. the explosives
are detonated simultaneously, destroying the integrity of the steel frame at
key points, such that no part of the building is supported against the force
of gravity. the entire mass is pulled swiftly to earth, where gravity does
the work of pounding the structure into tiny fragments of steel and
concrete. the gravitational potential energy of the structure is converted
smoothly and uniformly into kinetic energy, and the is available very
efficiently to pulverize the fragments of the building as they impact against
the unyielding earth. controlled demolitions have a striking and
characteristic appearance of smooth, flowing collapse...the world trade
center collapses looked like controlled demolitions...according to the law of
gravity, it is possible to calculate the time it takes for an object to fall a
given distance. the equation is h=(1/2) at 2, where h is the height, a is the
acceleration of gravity (10 meters per second squared) and t is time in
seconds. plug in the height of the building at 1350 feet (411 meters) and we
get 9 seconds. that is just about the length of time it took for the very top
of the world trade center to fall to the street below. according to all
reports, the whole thing was over in just about ten seconds...'

does the dirty mossad have a history of knowing everything? oh yes!

they knew about a few things which would either make them god, or
conspirators. frankly their stories cannot be believed.
(1) they have a reputation of bringing false news to washington.
"israeli intelligence, not the reagan administration, was a major source of
some of the most dramatic published reports about a lybian assassination
team allegedly sent to kill president reagan and other top u.s.
officials...israel, which informed sources said has 'wanted an excuse to go
in and bash lybia for a longtime', may be trying to build american public
support for a strike against [ghaddafi]." los angeles times

(2) '...[the mossad] had made up the hit-squad story in order to cause
problems for one of israel's enemies.' washington post

ray mcgovern (former cia executive): "this commission is not representative of america
or of the families of those who died in 9/11. it is an archetypically establishment body,
consisting of people who, with the exception of a token white woman, look exactly like
me. they are all lawyers or politicians, or both - and all acceptable to vice president
cheney, who didn't want a commission in the first place. the result is facile,
mischievous and disingenuous. the families deserve better."
