Subject: JFK Murder Plot "Deathbed Confession" Aired On National Radio

JFK Murder Plot "Deathbed Confession" Aired On
National Radio
Former CIA agent, Watergate conspirator E. Howard Hunt
names the men who killed Kennedy

Prison Planet | April 30, 2007 Paul Joseph Watson
http://www.infowars.com/articles/us/jfk_hunt_deathbed_confession_aired_on_na
tional_radio.htm
The "deathbed confession" audio tape in which former
CIA agent and Watergate conspirator E. Howard Hunt
admits he was approached to be part of a CIA
assassination team to kill JFK was aired this weekend
- an astounding development that has gone completely
ignored by the establishment media.

Saint John Hunt, son of E. Howard Hunt, appeared on
the nationally syndicated Coast to Coast AM radio show
on Saturday night to discuss the revelations contained
in the tape.

Hunt said that his father had mailed cassette the tape
to him alone in January 2004 and asked that it be
released after his death. The tape was originally 20
minutes long but was edited down to four and a half
minutes for the Coast to Coast broadcast. Hunt
promises that the whole tape will be uploaded soon at
his website .

E. Howard Hunt names numerous individuals with both
direct and indirect CIA connections as having played a
role in the assassination of Kennedy, while describing
himself as a "bench warmer" in the plot. Saint John
Hunt agreed that the use of this term indicates that
Hunt was willing to play a larger role in the murder
conspiracy had he been required.

Hunt alleges on the tape that then Vice President
Lyndon B. Johnson was involved in the planning of the
assassination and in the cover-up, stating that LBJ,
"Had an almost maniacal urge to become president, he
regarded JFK as an obstacle to achieving that."

Asked if his father followed the conspiracy theories
into the Kennedy assassination, Saint John said the
elder Hunt did follow the work of AJ Weberman, a New
York freelance writer, who in the early 70's first
accused Hunt of being one of three bums who were
arrested in Dealy Plaza. The so-called bums were
interrogated and later released by authorities shortly
after the assassination. Weberman, one of the founders
of the Youth International Party, the Vippies,
published photographs of the tramps and found that two
of them bore striking similarities to Hunt and Frank
Sturgis , also named by Hunt in the tape as having
been played a role in the assassination conspiracy.

Asked for his opinion as to whether his father was
indeed one of the Dealy Plaza tramps, Saint John, in a
stunning revelation, said one of the tramps indeed
looked much like his father did in 1963.

Saint John Hunt said that shortly before his death,
his father had felt "deeply conflicted and deeply
remorseful" that he didn't blow the whistle on the
plot at the time and prevent the assassination, but
that everyone in the government hated Kennedy and
wanted him gone in one way or another. Kennedy's
promise to "shatter the CIA into a thousand pieces and
scatter the remnants to the wind" was being carried
out and this infuriated almost everyone at the agency.

Hunt also said that his mother's death in a December
8, 1972 plane crash in Chicago was suspicious and that
there was evidence of a White House cover-up
surrounding the circumstances of the alleged accident.

Investigators discovered $10,000 dollars in her
luggage and Hunt alleged that his mother traveled
around the country using Nixon campaign money to
payoff the families of the Watergate burglars to keep
them quiet about the involvement of the Nixon White
House in the Watergate break-in and cover-up.

Hunt cited numerous coincidences surrounding the
aftermath of the crash, including Nixon's appointment
of his henchman, Egil Krough, to the National
Transportation Safety Board which investigates plane
crashes, the very day after the incident.

Eyewitnesses reported that the plane exploded above
treetop level before it had even hit the runway.

Hunt said that "at least 20-25 FBI members," as well
as numerous DIA agents were at the scene of the crash
within minutes before rescue personnel had even
arrived, and that this fact was attested to in a
letter sent by the head of the Chicago FBI to
investigator Sherman Skolnick.

Hunt said that his safety was guaranteed by the
dissemination of the tape and that he had several
copies and had mailed others to addresses both abroad
and in the U.S.

"Once this information is out there's really no point
in anyone trying to do me in or do me wrong - someone
may try to discredit me but I have no skeletons in my
closet," said Hunt.

As we have previously reported, the night before the
Kennedy assassination, Lyndon Baines Johnson met with
Dallas tycoons, FBI moguls and organized crime
kingpins - emerging from the conference to tell his
mistress Madeleine Duncan Brown that "those SOB's"
would never embarrass him again.

Though Brown first went public on her 21-year
relationship with Johnson in the early 80's, to this
day her shocking revelations about how he had told her
the Kennedy's "would never embarrass me again" the
night before the assassination are often ignored by
the media who prefer to keep the debate focused on
issues which can't definitively be proven either way
(or at least can be spun and whitewashed).

In addition, Barr McClellan, father of former White
House press secretary Scott McClellan and a partner in
the Austin law firm that represented Johnson, wrote in
his 2003 book that LBJ was a key player in the
organization of the assassination and its cover-up.
McClellan's revelations were the subject of a
subsequent History Channel documentary called The
Guilty Men.

The Price of Almost Everything We Need to Survive Has Jumped by 100 Per Cent
How Runaway Inflation Has Slipped Under the Radar
By JANE STILLWATER

In 1975, there was this cute little two-bedroom house for sale on
Grant Street in Berkeley. I loved that house! I wanted to buy that
house! But I dithered around and missed my chance because I couldn't
come up with a down payment for its outrageously expensive asking
price -- $25,000.

I'd be extremely lucky today, even in the middle of the current
housing slump, to be able to purchase that same house for less than
$600,000.

I hate math but here goes. $25,000 goes into $600,000 how many times?
24 times? That's a heck of a lot of inflation!

Remember back in the late 1970s when we had all those big long lines
at the gas pumps? When gas went from 60 cents a gallon to $1.10 a
gallon and we thought that was outrageous? "President Carter has
caused runaway inflation," we were told. So we had an election and
got stuck with Ronnie Reagan instead -- and suddenly "inflation"
disappeared, never to return.

Remember back in 1968? By living at home and working during the
summer, I was able to save up enough money in just three short months
to put myself through U.C. Berkeley for the rest of the year. Tuition
was $150, rent was $75, utilities cost $10 and peanut butter was
cheap. I didn't live like a goddess but still -- I didn't have
$150,000 in student loans to pay off upon graduation either.

Remember when peaches at the Berkeley Bowl Marketplace cost 69 cents
a pound and strawberries were 89 cents a basket and hamburger was
$1.75 a pound? Then suddenly about two years ago the price of peaches
went up to $2.00 a pound, strawberries were suddenly $2.50 a basket
and a pound of hamburger suddenly cost $3.25? And gas went from $1.80
a gallon to $3.30 a gallon?

In approximately the last two years, almost everything we need to
survive has jumped up in price by at least 100%.

When this same incredible jump in prices occurred in 1979, everyone
screamed bloody murder about "Runaway Inflation". Heads rolled. But
when the exact same thing is happening now, NOBODY talks about
inflation....

What's the difference between then and now?

Here's the difference.

In 1979, every media outlet in America was constantly letting us know
that our country was suffering from inflation. Now we have to figure
all that stuff out all by ourselves. According to a graph supplied by
the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the rate of inflation in 1980
was 14%. And today the rate of inflation is only between two and
three per cent. So. Technically, we are NOT suffering from inflation
right now. BUT. What does it feel like to you?

Here we are, scurrying around, tightening our belts, doing all of the
desperate things we did in 1979 (and much more) -- only now we are
doing it individually and gratefully, grateful as heck that our
misery is of our own doing and NOT because America is suffering from
inflation!

We need to stop being sidetracked by statistics and to start learning
to trust our own experience at the grocery store and the gas pump
instead. We need to start flying by the seat of our pants.

Remember that old adage, "If a tree falls in the forest and no one is
around to hear it, does it still make a sound?" Well, here's a new
adage. "If a price raises at the supermarket and the media doesn't
report it, does inflation still exist?" You bet!

If inflation cost Jimmy Carter the presidency after only one term,
how come Bush wasn't thrown out of the White House in 2004? Two
reasons. First, the rate of runaway inflation since GWB took over the
White House wasn't hyped in the news constantly like it had been
during the 1980 presidential election race. And, second, "If election
fraud steals an election, does the winner still get to be President?"

PS: Instead of using the Consumer Price Index to measure inflation
rates, we now rely on the Core CPI, which doesn't record dramatic
changes in housing and energy costs. According to economist Ann Berg,
the Core CPI only reflects that we are now buying more stuff at
dollar stores. Dollar store purchases are now keeping inflation down?
What? The once-mighty American economy is now being kept safe from
inflation because low prices in DOLLAR STORES are forcing the CPI
down? That's pathetic.

According to Berg, "Core CPI reveals no inflation because it tracks
manufactured goods that have cheapened over time, the result of the
entrance of a billion third world workers since 1990."

But still and all, the difference between the CPI and the Core CPI
isn't all that great. If you really want to know what is going on in
our economy, forget about the CPI and the Core CPI. The true
measurement of current inflation rates can only be accurately
determined by one thing -- what happens to you and me at the gas pump
and the grocery store check-out line. And that news is NOT good.

ILLEGAL  ALIENS and their IMPACT 





So often, we get caught up in a debate over political semantics and end up
ignoring the hard-shell realities of what we're talking about.  According to
mmigrationCounters.com, here are some of the realities that Flake-Gutierrez Bill
would airbrush out of the picture:
Number of Illegal Aliens in the Country 20,807,645
Money Wired to Mexico City since January, 2006 $22,213,001,672.00
Cost of Social Security Services for Illegal Aliens since 1996
$397,450,739,563.00
Number of Children of Illegal Aliens in Public Schools 3,958,789
Cost of Illegal Aliens in K-12 Since 1996: $13, 965,063,431.00
Number of Illegal Aliens Incarcerated 332,594
Cost of Incarcerations Since 2001  $1,398,127,429.00
Number of Illegal Aliens Fugitives 642,799
Skilled Jobs Taken by Illegal Aliens 9,872,838

Figures can trick your eyes.  Take particular note that items 2,3,5, and 7
reflect BILLION not millions of dollars -- and that item 3 exceeds one-third of
a TRILLION dollars.                      
Can you imagine how much it will cost taxpayers if we triple the number of
Illegals entering this country!!
                              ****************

So, What's in a Billion?.......
Granted................. this is from the US!

The next time you hear a politician use the word "billion" in a casual manner,
think about whether you want the "politicians" spending your tax money.

A billion is a difficult number to comprehend, but one advertising agency did a
good job of putting that figure into some perspective in one of its releases.

A.  A billion seconds ago it was 1959.

B.  A billion minutes ago Jesus was alive.

C.  A billion hours ago our ancestors were living in the Stone Age.

D.  A billion days ago no-one walked on the earth on two feet.

E.  A billion dollars ago was only 8 hours and 20 minutes, at the rate our
government is spe nding it.

While this thought is still fresh in our brain, let's take a look at New
Orleans.  It's amazing what you can learn with some simple division . . .

Louisiana Senator, Mary Landrieu (D), is presently asking the Congress for $250
BILLION to rebuild New Orleans.  Interesting number, what does it mean?

a. Well, if you are one of 484,674 residents of New Orleans (every man, woman,
child), you each get $516,528.

b. Or, if you have one of the 188,251 homes in New Orleans, your home gets
$1,329,787.

c. Or, if you are a family of four, your family gets $2,066,012.

Washington, D.C. ... HELLO!!! ... Are all your calculators broken??

This is too true.........And these numbers don't lie.........and, it's not 
funny!!!

CODEX is about to Take ALL YOUR Rights Away! (WTO-Planned GENOCIDE)

We (the PUBLIC, Worldwide) have been FIGHTING THIS FOR YEARS. We keep rallying & petitioning & voting against it, but these VICIOUS, RACIST, GENOCIDAL WTO-GANGSTERS just keep coming back, relentlessly, with this COVERT WARFARE---SILENT HOLOCAUST AGENDA. We MUST RAISE CONSCIOUSNESS among the members of the PUBLIC who have been kept in ignorance about it.

Bless you ALL for your unselfish work & strenuous efforts to PROTECT HUMANITY & ALL BIOLOGICAL LIFE FROM FURTHER ASSAULT & INJURY. . Lynn Surgalla

Subject: CODEX is about to Take ALL YOUR Rights Away!

This week, the article will be a bit longer than usual. However, it must be, because your life and the lives of your friends, neighbors and family ARE at serious risk! We suggest you please send this to every individual on your email list, prayerfully, they do the same. Now, you are going to find out why!

World elitists who manufactured the World Trade Organization in co operation with BIG BUSINESS, conspired back in 1962 to "take control" of your foods, your supplements and just about anything that goes into your mouth! They did this for more power and profit and control of your life and to promote your premature death. Codex Alimentarius a/k/a Food Regulations has been a highly directed and financed operation that can and will, if fully implemented, destroy you! These very powerful Big Business and One World control freaks, even back in 1962, set December 31, 2009 as the D-date for implementation of the Codex Alimentarius "HARMonizing," campaign.

CodexAlimentarius came first (as you will learn in this article) and was conveniently connected to the infamous World Trade Organization.

Guess what, their plans are on track and the u.S.A.! Not only that but all176 World Trade Organization members (as of the Codex meeting in Europe on or about July 4, 2006) will be forced, as members of WTO, to adopt CodexAlimentarius agenda guidelines. The more than 4,000 guidelines, initiated by covert Codex members, will be implemented as of 12/31/2009! For any member country who refuses to comply by that date, trade sanctions can and more than likely will be placed against that country...but you will learn more about trade sanctions and what they mean to YOU later on.

This gives us less than 3 years, while we still have the power, to squelch the plan and destroy the monster, at least for a while, anyway...All part and parcel of the World Trade Organization! "How do we do this?" you ask...By working diligently now to "force" removal of our country's membership in the World Trade Organization (WTO). Right now, as you will learn shortly, WTO really has no enforcement rights upon us. However, as of 12/31/2009, the regulations will go into effect and then, getting out may be almost impossible without a total social and financial end to our society.

This smacks of UCC Regulations which we will not get into today or ever, for that matter (you might want to explore UCC fully in your spare time, however).

Let us go back in history, so you can see exactly what prompted this monumental monstrosity, expected to cost the world approximately 3 billion deaths from Codex enforced and mandated toxins. One billion people are expected to die from pure starvation due to the "food and supplement" guidelines. Another two billion souls are expected to die as a result of nutritionally related dis/eases like:

* America's number one killer since 2005 - the BIG C, Cancer
* cardiovascular issues
* diabetes
* AND far more

It all began when the former president, Fritz DeMeer, of I G Fabin, huge European pharmaceutical and chemical company was tried, found guilty and interned as a result of the Nuremberg trials, following WW2. DeMeer, working directly with the German High Command during WW2, was instrumental in supplying toxic chemicals and more to prisoners during the war. He was even creative enough to place "pro work" slogans on the gates in which prisoners entered German concentration camps. He was a creative guy! Now you will see just how creative he really was.

When this once powerful man was released from prison in 1962, (interesting how so many found guilty were executed, yet he received a relatively short prison sentence - Could it mean money and power pays?). He went to big business, via the UN, FAO, NATO and friends, suggesting "if the powers that be could take control of the food, they could take control of the world!" What a "yummy" idea he presented. THEY JUMPED ON THE PLAN!

Through research the "powers that be" found the old Codex Alimentarius. The original Codex had been adopted in about 1893 under the Austro-Hungarian Empire and was disbanded at the conclusion of World War I, when there was no more Austro-Hungarian Empire. The purpose of the original Codex Alimentarius committee was a "passive" perusal of food and it's affect on European mankind, again, control, but not tyrannical control. The new UN group adopted the name, Codex Alimentarius. They then implemented that tried old name into a new format and the ultimate "food control" vehicle was created. It was planned to be and is today, diabolical as well as tyrannical...

These ultra one world controllers intuitively understood then and still understand today that patience always pays! Think of it, from 1962 to full execution planned then and there for 12/31/2009! What the common man does not understand is that because things move along like a slow running river, almost unnoticed, unscrupulous ideals overwhelm us because we are busy making ends meet, instead of our being diligent, watching and observing "our enemy" endeavoring to control, even to destroy us. They plan, they budget, they spend time and huge amounts of money preparing their agenda. AND before we know it, we are enslaved! This is what has happened with Codex Alimentarius!

The current (1962 forward) Codex Alimentarius committee meets annually.

Interestingly enough, Codex makes it's decisions during their annual meeting, July 4 each year...AND they've adopted more than 4,000 guidelines since they initiated in 1962. This time, July 4, 2006, they voted to implement Codex Alimentarius guidelines in the u.S.A. and all World Trade Organization member countries, in relation to vitamins and minerals.

Because we are members of the World Trade Organization, new food and supplement regulations will directly and negatively affect each one of us.

YOU can thank President Bill Clinton who "pushed" or fast tracked this through America's power base in 1994. The result, we are now supposedly "forced" to follow all WTO rules as a member of this under-handed organization. If not, WTO claims the right to impose "trade sanctions" upon us! We WILL HARMonize with WTO guidelines! Achtung! (be aware!) AND, while you are at it, look at the first four letters of HARMonize!

In talks by Dr. Rhima Laibow, MD, she says "so what!" She's been researching activities of Codex Alimentarius for more than 10 years and she is concerned. In fact, she gave up her lucrative nutritionally oriented practice to go to battle, exposing this insidious plan and organization.

She's enlisted the assistance of several good and worthy attorney firms to "study the issues" to see if the WTO really does have authority over us.

The legal beagles have found that prior to 12/31/2009, the WTO actually does not have lawful authority over us now, but as of 12/31/09, they will have authority! But the so-called "public servants" who are there to "serve??" us, take from we the people, the right to impose these regulations upon us. AND our public servants will initiate action against us if we do not comply... In any other world, this would be called usurpation OR the servant commits treason against it's master!

If we tarry, we may find ourselves attempting to fight tyranny single-handedly when we are attacked by "the system" when we find ourselves using an illegal substance. That illegal substance could be simple herbs grown in our gardens. Or it could be range fed beef, lamb, chicken or fish that has not undergone the "enforced" chemical applications mandated by Codex Alimentarius! If you or I have to fight this single handedly, we may find the result to be quite expensive and emotionally, spiritually and physically draining. But with things in place and we the people banding together, we have a very good chance of throwing out Codex Alimentarius through disassociating with WTO! YOU can be a part of this elimination, get WTO out of America plan, so we can work together to keep OUR eating and health freedom!

This is how you can help protect your own interests and those of the people.
Dr. Laibow has requested you go to to see a 40 minute 7 second video that will make you nearly as informed as she is: Go to Google Search and put in Criminalizing Natural, Health, Vitamins and Herbs and watch the video.

Next, go to her website at www.healthfreedomusa.org where you can sign a petition to fight the demon.

Please understand, if we tarry, waiting until after the plan is implemented in our country, getting it thrown out could take many long years of toil and funds. By that time, all of us could have succumbed to ravages of dis/ease, possibly even starvation due to the Codex Alimentarius WTO plan. No doubt, it appears plans are to overwhelm our rights to supplementation and to food.

Yes, here's the crux of the matter. YOUR FOOD WILL BE "TOXIFIED" by your enemy, the BIG BUSINESS, BIG PHARMA, BIG MEDICO interests in the name of people, world and health control. Get really pro active and go to search
engines at Google to locate Codex Alimentarius. Read the large amount of information to educate yourself further on the terrible consequences of remaining a part of WTO and Codex Alimentarius!

Look at the list of extremely toxic chemicals that have in the past been banned from use in our country and many other countries as well. Seven of the 12 chemicals on the POP list are on the Codex list for use on YOUR foods in OUR country. AND when countries using these chemicals, 9 of which are insecticides, send their produce to market for YOU to eat, they will not be stopped at the borders of this country. They will be forcefully, if necessary, allowed into your grocery stores for you and your family to eat.

Remember, go to, www.healthfreedomusa.org and sign the Second Amendment of the petition that may just make the difference between your health freedom or your health loss! Understand, you should also be emailing or calling all of your congressional representatives. INSIST they vote to withdraw the u.S.A. from the WTO. You see, the Congress places a ratio of 13,000 people to each call or email sent. Don't do snail mail. It's not generally even read. YOU have POWER! EXERCISE that POWER!

Yes, according to Dr. Laibow and many other experts on Codex Alimentarius, Codex is not intended to support us, Rather, Codex represents ONLY the interests of the following:

* Big Pharma
* Big Chema
* Big Bio Tech
* Big Agri Biz
* Big Medica

______________________________________________

Part 2 Codex is about to Take All YOUR Rights Away!

HERE ARE THE FACTS ABOUT YOUR FOOD AND SUPPLEMENTS

What Codex Will Mean to YOU and to YOUR Food Consumption Rights

If Codex Alimentarius becomes a "so-called rule" in our country, supplements in almost any form will be pulled from the shelves in all stores, including pharmacies, grocery stores, health food stores, discount stores, multi level marketing, alternative doctor's offices and everything.

When I visited Germany in 2004, I witnessed this situation firsthand! When Germany and Norway were used as a "test case" for Codex Alimentarius. Every single supplement, including homeopathy and supplements were missing from the little pharmacies in Munich. I went to one after another, NOTHING, absolutely nothing remained in the pharmacies. This means all vitamins, minerals, herbs, fatty acids, literally everything, will no longer be available to us except possibly, a few innocuous minerals and vitamin C in infinitesimally small doses which are shown to have absolutely no impact, positive or negative upon our health! And the prices will be very high on this do-nothing supplementation, just as it was in Germany in 2004.

In 2,000, when I was in Germany, little pharmacies were everywhere. They sold homeopathy, supplements and other food based nutraceuticals. By 2004, all I found were cosmetics, alcoholic beverages and "stuff!" This will happen to us as well, if we do not exercise our rights and demand withdrawal of WTO.

You will be told, if we withdraw from WTO, it will cause serious financial loss to you and to America. DON'T BELIEVE IT! Prior to World War 2, America was basically isolated from other financial and supply markets.

Guess what, we as a country did better then than we are doing today. Think of it! America would be forced to supply it's own steel, wood, gas products, cloth and more. How many new industrial jobs would begin to be available to our citizens if WTO membership countries boycott our country?

How much of a trade deficit do we have these days, anyway?

Don't allow the "spin masters" to scare you into compliance with this terrible program. It is intended to enslave us into having nothing except pharmaceuticals, medical doctors okay our use of nutraceuticals, even ALL OUR FOOD will be seriously tainted with enforced radiation and toxic chemicals. AND all milk giving animals MUST have rbGH (synthetic growth hormones now suspected being linked to cancer) from Monsanto's museum of horrors. All meats, whether feathered, haired or finned will require enforced antibiotic applications and rbGH injections.

You will only be able to get "do nothing, low dosage junk" through a prescription from expensive and unknowledgeable medical doctors.

Incidentally, many professionals have told me the doctors in Germany and Norway refused to write prescriptions for supplements in Germany and in Norway, just within the 21st century. AND you should know, the price of literally "do nothing, low dosage minerals and vitamins etc. will be enormously expensive just as they were in Germany and Norway in 2004.

THIS IS NOT THE WORSE OF IT...HANG ONTO YOUR HATS, FOLKS

Again, I remind you, Your foods, unless radiated, filled with rbGH (Monsanto's synthetic growth hormone) and with sub-clinical antibiotics will be as illegal as heroine and cocaine are today! rbGH, will be mandatorally injected into all milk producing animals. THERE WILL BE NO CHOICE FOR YOU!

EVERYTHING! All animals used for food, whether with feathers, on hooves or with fins will require injections of rbGH, ALL!

Even "organic foods" will take on an entire new meaning because farmers will be forced to HARMonize with protocols. "Why," you ask? Because everything

will HARMonize to comply with the more than 4,000 Codex Guidelines already in place to control each and every single thing entering your mouth. Meat, poultry, fish, vegetables, fruits, dairy, nuts, seeds...EVERYTHING! There will be literally nothing Organic!

Go to search engines and put in Codex Alimentarius...Go to their allowed chemicals list and see just what they have in store for you! Under the guidelines, you can and will be eligible for prison, even heavy fines for eating clean foods.

Now you have enough of the story to begin your own research project...FIGHT FOR YOUR RIGHTS! We all need to stop expecting somebody else to do our job for us! GOOD LUCK in helping us remain free for food in America!

Again, We suggest you send this to everyone on your email list, requesting they forward this to everybody on their list. WE have little time to thwart the efforts of those who want ALL THE POWER, MONEY AND VOICE over our lives.

The below article is as important to understanding our situation as it is
boring. This is some factual info that positively that will support and clarify
what you've heard about the Non-govt-orgs that wield so much weight in our govt
and our personal lives.

By the way, did you know, John D Rockefeller, IV, is the junior Senator from
West Virginia.

From:   Mark Walter Evans <markwalterevans@...>

On the cusp of the Decade, New Year's Eve, 1990, l was sitting
at home listening to KQED (NPR, San Francisco) prognosticate
about the future. Around the middle of the evening, they wheeled
out someone from the Hoover Institution, who proceeded to
make a fairly savvy economic forecast of what would happen in
banking in the 1990s. He let us know that the disintegration of
the S & Ls was just the beginning; soon, the secondary banks
would start folding, until, by the middle of the decade, "five or six
super-banks" would control the entire banking industry in the
U.S.

It is my thesis that "five or six super banks" already control the
banking industry in America, and that they are, with the exception
of the Bank of America, the lineal descendants of the same
banks (somewhat altered by subsequent mergers) which
purchased the "Class A " stock of the New York Federal Reserve
Bank in 1914. These are: Citibank, Chase-Manhattan,
Morgan-Guaranty Trust, Chemical & Manufacturers Hanover,
(which have merged), and Bankers' Trust (also a J.P. Morgan
bank).

These are the banks which gobbled up the Savings & Loans
institutions that defaulted, and went belly up during the
Reagan-Bush era. Through networks of holding companies,
these banks purchased the S & L's from the government, at
cents on the dollar.

J.P. Morgan, Sr., the most prominent of the robber barons of the
late nineteenth century died in 1913. His son, J.P. ("Jack")
Morgan, Jr., succeeded him that year. Sometime during the late
Thirties - circa 1937 - the Rockefeller dynasty surpassed the
House of Morgan in power and influence, and in the wake of
Jack's death in 1943, a "managerial revolution" of sorts
dissolved J.P. Morgan & Co. into the Morgan bank, Guaranty
Trust. Guaranty Trust, however, is not just any bank. It interlocks
with General Electric, General Motors, I.B.M., A.T.&T., General
Dynamics, General Mills, Coca Cola, and much more. Its officers
in the course of their careers, move in and out of the U.S.
Treasury Department, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York,
the International Monetary Fund, and the Bank for International
Settlements. The hungry ghost of J.P. Morgan has achieved
multinational momentum.

It is a curious phenomenon that certain factions of the Left, while
they profess to be Marxists or Progressives, and thus critical of
capitalism, characteristically react in a hostile and denunciatory
manner whenever someone pursues a critical analysis of the
Federal Reserve Bank. Critics of the Federal Reserve are called
"right-wing conspiracy theorists," "anti-Semites," and worse. It
wasn't always so.

Historically, it was axiomatic amongst the non-communist, Old
left in the 1920s and '30s to regard the establishment of the
Federal Reserve Bank, in 1914, as a kind of bloodless financial
coup d'etat by Wall Street over Constitutional government. The
Progressive Party Platform of 1924, the Platform upon which
Robert LaFollette ran, the Farmer-Labor Platforms from 1920
through 1934, as well as the Socialist Party Platform of 1932, all
contained planks calling for the nationalization of the Federal
Reserve Bank. (See, National Party Platforms, Vol. 1, 1840-1956,
University of Illinois Press, Urbana, Illinois).

And, if you study the Congressional Record in the years from
1908 through 1913, you will find that the chief opposition to the
"Aldrich Plan" and the subsequent Federal Reserve Act of 1913,
came from the group known as the "Western Progressives" --
amongst whom Robert LaFollette, Sr., George Norris, and
Charles A. Lindbergh, Sr., were prominent. Charles Lindbergh,
Sr., the radical congressman from the Sixth District of Minnesota,
presented the most articulate and principled opposition to the
Money Trust, and the train of banker-sponsored legislation
that led to the Federal Reserve Act of 1913.

Lindbergh's books, Banking and Currency, and the Money Trust,
1913, Why is Your Country at War? 1917, and The Economic
Pinch, 1922, were suppressed and quietly removed from
practically every library in the country. One book by Lindbergh,
The House of Morgan, has disappeared without a trace, even out
of the Library of Congress. It has gone into the Orwellian
memory-hole, and become a non-book, as if it never existed.

The main thesis of Lindbergh's books posets the existence of a
Super Trust, developing out of an aglomeration of capital
accumulated by a group of American industrial and finance
capitalists who are commonly known as the Robber Barons.
According to the elder Lindbergh, this group - which included the
Stillman-Rockefeller, J.P. Morgan, and Kuhn Loeb interests -
had unified their common interests into a powerful Trust by the
early 1870s. They then promoted the Sherman anti-Trust Act, in
order to prevent any other, late comers from climbing up to enjoy
the Olympian priveleges that they had acquired on their plateau
of Wealth.

The elder Lindbergh termed this Super Trust the Money Trust.
I have given a name to his thesis - the Lindbergh Analysis.

The House of J.P. Morgan, and the Morgan banks, Guaranty
Trust, and Bankers' Trust, were vitally interested in the
foundation of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and were
among the "big six" money market prime banks, which
purchased the "Class A" stock of the New York Federal Reserve
Bank in 1914. Ferdinand Lundberg, a professor of at NYU,
familiar to sixties radicals as the author of The Rich and the
Super-Rich, wrote, in his far more radical, and specific work,
America's Sixty Families, in 1937:

"The Federal Reserve Act was the offshoot of a bill originally
presented in the Senate by the dubious Aldrich, whose measure
incorporated the collective wisdom of a monetary commission
under his chairmanship. The ideas of the commission in turn
emanated from the fertile brains of the Wall Street clique, whose
deputies worked out the details in 1910 at the remote Jekyll
Island Club, Jekyll Island, off the Georgia Coast, during an
ostensible duck hunting expedition. Among those present Were
Paul M. Warburg, partner of Kuhn, Loeb and Company; Henry P.
Davison, partner of J.P. Morgan and Company; Frank A.
Vanderlip, president of the National City Bank; Dr. Piatt Andrew,
special assistant to the Senate Monetary Commission; and
Benjamin Strong, vice-president of the Bankers Trust Company
(Morgan).

"The protracted Jekyll island conference took place in the
atmosphere of an elaborate conspiracy. The trip to Georgia was
made in a private car chartered by Aldrich, and the travelers all
used assumed names so that the train crew would not establish
their identities. For a long time there was no public knowledge
that such a conclave had been held.

"The financiers wanted a central bank on the European model to
facilitate the large-scale manipulation of the national economy...
But when Aldrich introduced the scenario produced by the Jekyll
Island duck hunters it was immediately hooted down as a
nefarious Wall Street enterprise and, for the time being, came to
naught.

"The task of the liberal Wilson Administration was to place
essentially the Jekyll Island measure on the statute books, but in
an eccentric guise. The job of drawing up such a bill was given
to Paul M. Warburg, one of the Jekyll Island plotters. Warburg
collaborated with all the big financiers, as his own memoirs
reveal.

"The Warburg-Wall Street draft, superficially revised by Wilson
and Senator Carter Glass of Virginia, was simply the Jekyll
Island duck hunters' scheme for a central bank, dressed up in
fancy toggery. There was some opposition to it from uninformed
Wall Street quarters, but it was, significantly, endorsed by the
American Bankers Association.

"In practice the Federal Reserve Bank of New York became the
fountainhead of the system of twelve regional banks, for New
York was the money market of the nation. The other eleven
banks were so many expensive mausoleums erected to salve
the local pride and quell the Jacksonian fears of the hinterland.
Benjamin Strong, one of the original duck hunters... president of
the Bankers' Trust Company, was selected as the first Governor
of the New York Reserve Bank.

"An adept in high finance, Strong for many years manipulated the
country's monetary system at the discretion of directors
representing the leading New York banks. Under Strong, the
Reserve System, unsuspected by the nation, was brought into
interlocking relations with the Bank of England and the Bank of
France, greatly strengthening the financial fabric of the political
status quo in the western hemisphere. While Wall Street, during
and after the World War, moved on to ever enlarging profits, the
farmer, whom the Reserve System was ostensibly created to
assist, moved from bad to worse."

Ferdinand Lundberg, who wrote these lines, was Jewish, and a
Leftist, as well. Why then, does the current crop of "New Leftists,"
two generations later, almost automatically associate criticism of
the Federal Reserve Bank with "Right-wing conspiracy theories,"
and "anti-Semitism"?

One reason is that generation of Old Leftists who knew these
things are, for the most part, dead. Also, many of the folks who
held this analysis during the 1930s found themselves in a
position of dire opposition to America's entry into World War II,
just as they had been opposed to America entering WW I,in
1917. To oppose the mad rush of America to War, they joined
either America First, or the group headed by Norman Thomas.
After the War, there was a certain spiritual/political hardening of
the arteries in some of these Old Left cadres - especially in the
Midwest - as the Cold War dawned.

Although many of them had been enthusiastic about the soviet
experiment in Russia in 1917, they had become thoroughly
disgusted with the Stalin regime. Jack Anderson, in McCarthy,
the Senator, the Man, the "Ism" touches a bit upon this
phenomenon in Wisconsin - of how some of the formerly
Progressive LaFollette constituency bolted, in 1946, to become
followers of the 'right-wing populism' of Senator Joe McCarthy.

This happened in spite of the fact that "Young Bob" LaFollette
was an articulate opponent of Communism. As the years rolled,
some of the remnants of this strain of old-left populism, who
had fallen into McCarthyism, blundered further, and went and
joined the John Birch Society. Some were even suckered into
joining up with the Liberty Lobby, of Willis Carto, not realizing that it was
set up as a shill, to corral and discredit the Lindbergh
Analysis.

The pervasive influence upon the New Left of the Institute for
Policy Studies, funded, at its inception, in 1962, by James P.
Warburg, the son of Paul M. Warburg, and plugged ever after into
a perpetual grant from the Ford Foundation, also accounts for
some of the present ennui on the Left, at least in part. I.P.S.
cadres, it seems, are conditioned to automatically dismiss
criticism of the Fed as manifestation of atavistic anti-Semitism.
The Lindbergh Analysis is known amongst them as "the Jewish
Banker's Conspiracy".

In the greater scheme of the apportioning of dialectical
party-lines in post-war America, it has been given to various
"right-wing" groups, like the John Birch Society, the so-called
"Populist Party" of Willis Carto, the Libertarians, and the N.C.L.C.
(LaRouche), to profess various species of opposition to the Fed,
none of which can ever agree.

Passages from the 1350-page historical treatise, Tragedy and
Hope, by the "liberal imperialist," Carroll Quigley, late professor
of history and sociology at Georgetown University, also clarify
this question considerably:

"The associations between Wall Street and the Left, of which
Mike Straight (publisher of The New Republic) is a fair example,
are really survivals of the associations between the Morgan Bank
and the Left. To Morgan all political parties were simply
organizations to be used, and the firm always was careful to
keep a foot in all camps. Morgan himself, Dwight Morrow, and
other partners were allied with the Republicans; Russell C.
Leffingwell was allied with the Democrats; Grayson Murphy, with
the extreme Right; and Thomas W. Lamont, with the Left. Like
the Morgan interest in libraries, museums, and art, its inability to
distinguish between loyalty to the United States, and loyalty to
England, its recognition of the need for social work among the
poor, the multi-partisan political views of the Morgan firm in
domestic politics went back to the original founder of the firm,
George Peabody (1795-1869). To this same seminal figure may
be attributed the use of tax-exempt foundations for controlling
these activities, as may be observed in many parts of America to
this day...

"Our concern at the moment is with the links between Wall Street
and the Left, especially the Communists. Here the chief link was
the Thomas W. Lamont family. This family was in many ways
parallel to the Straight family. Tom Lamont had been brought into
the Morgan firm, as Straight was several years later, by Henry P.
Davison, a Morgan partner from 1909. Lamont became a partner
in 1910, as Straight did in 1913. Each had a wife who became a
patroness of Leftist causes, and two sons, of which the elder
was a conventional banker, and the younger was a Left-wing
sympathizer and sponsor. In fact, all the evidence would indicate
that Tom Lamont was simply Morgan's apostle to the Left..."

"The chief evidence, however, can be found in the files of the
H.U.A.C. which show Tom Lamont, his wife Flora, and his son
Corliss as sponsors and financial angels to almost a score of
extreme Left organizations, including the Communist Party
itself... Corliss Lamont was the leading light in another
Communist organization, which started life in the 192Os as the
Friends of the Soviet Union, but in 1943 was reorganized, with
Lamont as chairman of the board and chief incorporator, as the
National Council of American Soviet Friendship.

"During this whole period of over two decades, Corliss Lamont,
with the full support of his parents, was one of the chief figures in
"fellow Traveler" circlesand one of the chief spokesmen for the
Soviet point of view both in theseorganizations and also in
connections which came to him either as son of the most
influential man in Wall Street or as professor of philosophy at
Columbia University." (pages 945-946, Tragedy And Hope)

Quigley is asserting here that the House of Morgan, through the
Lamont family,subsidized the Communist Party, and "almost a
score of extreme left organizations," as well. Having cited Carroll
Quigley, however, I'll concede that Noam Chomsky is correct:
there are no conspiracies; there are only institutions.

The Morgan prime banks, Guaranty Trust and Bankers' Trust, are
only institutions. The Chase-Manhattan, Citibank, Chemical &
"Manny Hanny," are merely Institutions. The mechanism by
which the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, an
Institution,channels, through the Federal Open Market
Committee, interest-bearing U.S.Treasury Securities into the
coffers of its member-banks, to the profit of the Super-Rich, is
Systemic.

The manner in which the Commercial banks are able to multiply
their reserves by a factor between 7 to 25, to create "credit
money" out of thin air, with which to purchase these Government
Securities, is also the function of a system - fractional reserve
banking.

The fact that these bankers might wish to conceal the
unpleasant facts of this continual transfer of wealth from the
people and from the earth to the ruling class is, understandably,
an issue of policy.

The fact that Corliss Lamont, son of Thomas Lamont, J.P.
Morgan's "apostle to theLeft," should have been the financial
angel for the Communist Party, USA and of magazines like the
(late)Guardian was not a conspiracy. Guaranty Trust,the seat of
Corliss Laniont's nest egg, generating interest off
tax-exemptGovernment bonds, is an institution, not a
conspiracy.

The fact that the Guardian (and other magazines so subsidized)
might tend to attack from the "Left" anybody who questions the
propriety of the Federal Reserve Bank is not a "conspiracy;" it is
a matter of policy.

Campos: Bush's farewell tantrum
May 1, 2007

A story in The New York Times makes it clear White House officials
are giving off-the-record interviews designed to dampen expectations
regarding Iraq. These officials are saying that the administration
will make no interim reports on the situation until September, and
that in any event people shouldn't expect much in the way of military
or political progress by then.

This is a welcome dose of realism after months of optimistic
statements from the Bush administration, claiming we would know by
the end of the summer if the latest troop escalation was "working."
As Lt. Gen. David Petraeus, the commander of the American military in
Iraq has emphasized, the kind of counterinsurgency campaign his
troops are now fighting takes years to "work" in any meaningful
sense, assuming it ever does.

Of course the purpose of this ratcheting down of expectations is to
try to forestall the political firestorm over Iraq that gets closer
with every passing month. That effort is almost certainly doomed to
fail: Six months from now things in Iraq are likely to look very much
as they do now. Furthermore, the odds that any marked change will be
for the worse are far higher than it will be for the better (in a
context like Iraq, real progress takes years under the best of
circumstances, while all-out chaos is always just around the corner).

The hard political reality is that anything like "success" in Iraq,
even as that term is defined down to levels that would have seemed
wildly pessimistic when President Bush gave his "Mission
Accomplished" speech four years ago, will require several more years
of all-out commitment. That commitment will cost, at a minimum, the
lives of several thousand more of our troops, along with tens of
thousands of serious injuries, and hundreds of billions more tax
dollars.

And of course this immense sacrifice might very well fail to achieve
even the relatively modest goals the White House is now pursuing (the
word "victory" has become noticeably absent from the president's
speeches).

Whatever one thought of the original decision to invade Iraq, the
political question the nation now faces could not be clearer: Should
we ask our troops to continue to fight this war, and our children to
pay for it through future tax increases? (The option of paying for it
ourselves would require some sacrifice on the part of the average
voter, so it never seems to have been considered seriously).

The American people have already answered that question, and their
answer is "No." The Republicans lost 30 Congressional seats in last
fall's election, while the Democrats lost none, largely because the
American people were voting against the war. Every opinion poll shows
that, by large majorities, Americans support the efforts of Democrats
to force President Bush to begin withdrawing our troops.

That pressure will only grow. As increasingly panicky Republicans are
all too aware, this is still a democracy, which means America will
begin to withdraw from Iraq no later than January of 2009, even if
bringing this about requires an electoral rout of the Republican
Party in November of next year.
http://i.am/jah/democra.htm

In the end, President Bush's failure to heed the will of the people
isn't so much an act of principle, but rather an outburst of sheer
peevishness. With Democrats in control of Congress, he's no longer
getting a blank check to fund his military adventures. He finds this
frustrating, so he's stamping his foot, covering his ears, and taking
his party down with him.
http://i.am/jah/politics.htm

All this is exactly what one would expect in the way of a political
farewell gesture from a spoiled rich kid who never grew up. Future
generations of historians will note George W. Bush made a mess of
every real job he ever had - and, unfortunately for America, the
presidency of the United States proved to be no exception.

Bush: 'Immigration laws should be followed'


Posted: April 26, 2007
1:00 a.m. Eastern
© 2007 WorldNetDaily.com


The president expects that federal laws – including immigration laws – will be
enforced, leaving the implication there is no room for rebel cities that decide
to provide "sanctuary" for illegal aliens, according to a White House
spokeswoman.

Dana Perino was responding to a question from Les Kinsolving, WND's
correspondent at the White House.

"How will the United States ever develop, adopt and enforce any sort of
immigration policy when individual leaders such as San Francisco Mayor Gavin
Newsom have vowed to oppose federal enforcement of such laws and, in fact, are
preparing to run a sanctuary city that would facilitate illegal activities, as
just reported for the San Francisco Chronicle?" he asked.

"President Bush believes that the laws of this country, including immigration
laws, need to be followed," she answered.

In the Chronicle report, Newsom vowed to maintain San Francisco as that type of
sanctuary and do everything he can to discourage federal authorities from
conducting immigration raids there.

"I will not allow any of my department heads or anyone associated with this city
to cooperate in any way, shape or form with these raids," Newsom told the
newspaper. "We are a sanctuary city, make no mistake about it."

Newsom has a reputation of making his own decisions. At one point he arbitrarily
decided the state's restriction that marriage is only between one man and one
woman wasn't for him, and he started issuing marriage certificates to same-sex
couples.

The courts later rejected his action.

While officials declared San Francisco a "sanctuary city" in 1989, a move taken
by other cities as well, it has no legal impact, and federal immigration
authorities have conducted raises in many locations.

"Our action is to stand strong in opposition to these raids … to make sure that
we are not contributing in any way, shape or form," he told the paper.

In a related question, Kinsolving asked Perino for the president's reaction to a
recent no-confidence vote by U.S. Border Patrol agents.

One of my college professors does RFID research. They are very un-secure - the limited computing power of RFID chips prevents them from implementing effective security protocols. But forget effective, some of them probably don't use any information security at all!

Oh, and many people already have chip implants. To be honest I have difficulty understanding this behavior - why? why do this? The way I see it, accepting this chip is accepting slavery. They also create so many more venues for "identity thieves" and then many others, like info-security professionals, a whole industry (of info-warriors) if this becomes wide-spread, even a "new world" (of totalitarian control/slavery and info-war). Oh well, it appears a harsh lesson is about to be taught in the School of Life.

Much blessings to the members of the group!

MERCHANTS ARE ALREADY NOW FORCED TO REPLACE THE OLD CARD READERS

Absa begins roll-out of Visa chip cards
By ICTWorld, 3 May 2007
Print || Discuss
SA has joined the global migration to a new generation of Visa chip-
enabled cards, with Absa being the first bank to roll out the cards
to its customers.


The Visa-branded Absa chip cards are said to be capable of
supporting multiple applications and data securely and can also make
cardholder-specific decisions, such as approving or declining
transactions, Absa says.

"The microchip on the smart card can store a significant amount of
information and has a much greater processing ability than the
magnetic stripe. This technology has an application beyond just
banking," says GM, Absa Group Payments Systems, Walter Volker.

In line with the rest of the world, the Absa chip cards will employ
the global standard Europay Mastercard Visa (EMV) application, to
ensure the cards work at all Visa merchants. There are approximately
350m Visa EMV chip cards currently in circulation around the world,
with millions more being issued globally every month.

"Much of the world has made significant progress in transitioning
their Visa cards, merchant equipment and payment card systems over
to this advanced technology," says head of technology for Visa sub-
Saharan Africa, Nick Essame.

"As the roll-out is dependent on all banks having their
infrastructure, particularly terminals in place, we decided on a
gradual issuing of cards to our customers. Debit cards with the
imbedded microchip will be issued to selected Absa customers when
their old card expires, is faulty, is lost or stolen and they must
receive new cards," Volker says. He adds that the magnetic stripe on
bank cards will not disappear immediately: "This is to enable
customers to use cards where the new technology is not in place".

Total Control Of Guns Is Total Control Of People

Our discussion of the issues revolving around the horrific events at Virginia Tech has literally brought in tens of thousands of new readers. And in that mixture are a few who have advocated, as one of them put it, "total control" of guns. Their positions is that all weapons must be confiscated and severe penalties imposed on people who own firearms for self-defense.
There is a certain naive simplicity to that which is frghtening. What they advocate is a zero tolerance policy akin to the War on Drugs, which itself was just a reincarnation of the previous total war on an evil commodity: alcohol. Obviously since both of those were such smashing successes they want to repeat the exercise.
 
England followed the same logic. In 1988 it first banned semiautomatic and pump-action rifles, short shotguns and a few others firearms. Law abiding citizens turned in their weapons. Criminals did not. With criminals feeling safer the number of crimes committed with guns escalated. Then the totalitarian idea of absolute control took hold. So for all practical purpose it is now virtually impossible to own a handgun in the UK. Following that ban the number of crimes committed by armed criminals jumped again.
 
Street gangs in various sections of the UK have no problem obtaining firearms even though they are entirely illegal. The Southwark neighborhood of London had 266 crimes committed with firearms that were reported in 2006. The Lambeth neighborhood had 239, Lewisham had 185. Apparently someone forgot to tell criminals they weren't supposed to own firearms.
 
Det. Supt. Kevin Davis heads the Trident program to tackle youth/gang related crime in London. he says that more "teens are resorting to carrying or using guns." Claudia Webber, an advisor to Trident says that in the gang culture guns are "an everyday accessory, a fashionable accessory, that young people want to be seen with." This with what amounts to be an almost total ban. The very few loopholes that are left are not the source of firearms for gangs. Criminals almost never purchase guns legally.
 
Not long ago the British government conceded that one in three young criminals own or have use of a firearm. When guns were confiscated 162,000 weapons were turned in by law-abiding citizens. Apparently criminals didn't join the queue. At the time police estimated there were 250,000 illegal guns in the UK. They now believe there are 3 million illegal firearms in the country and said "criminals are more willing than ever to use them."
 
One result is that criminals in the UK are more brazen. In England 53 per cent of burglaries on homes take place while the residents are home, only 13 per cent in America take place under similar circumstance. British criminals don't mind breaking in while people are home since they know that the residents have been disarmed. Criminals in the US are worried the homeower is armed. One result is that numerous elderly people in the UK get battered around by young thugs. A proud moment for the "total control" advocates. Yet the victim disarmament Gun Control Network calls the UK policies "the gold standard" of gun control.
 
The British Home Office has conceded: "We recognise there is a continuing problem with the use of guns by criminals and that it has increased over recent years." Gold standard indeed.
 The London Telegraph wrote that following the imposition of gun control "the total number of recorded crimes went up by almost 800,000 at a time when numbers in France and Germany were virtually stable and in America were falling dramatically."
 
 
 
When Mass Killers Meet Armed Citizen Resistance

It took place at a university in Virginia. A student with a grudge, an immigrant, pulled a gun and went on a shooting spree. It wasn't Virginia Tech at all. It was the Appalachian School of Law in Grundy, not far away. You can easily drive from the one school to the other, just take a trip down Route 460 through Tazewell.
 
It was January 16, 2002 when Peter Odighizuwa came to campus. He had been suspended due to failing grades. Odighizuwa was angry and waving a gun calling on students to "come get me". The students, seeing the gun, ran. A shooting spree started almost immediately. In seconds Odighizuwa had killed the school dean, a professor and one student. Three other students were shot as well, one in the chest, one in the stomach and one in the throat.
 
Many students heard the shots. Two who did were Mikael Gross and Tracy Bridges. Mikael was outside the school having just returned to campus from lunch when he heard the shots. Tracy was inside attending class. Both immediately ran to their cars. Each had a handgun locked in the vehicle.
Bridges pulled a .357 Magnum pistol and he later said he was prepared to shoot to kill if necessary. He and Gross both approached Odighizuwa at the same time from different directions. Both were pointing their weapons at him. Bridges yelled for Odighizuwa to drop his weapon. When the shooter realized they had the drop on him he threw his weapon down. A third student, unarmed, Ted Besen, approached the killer and was physically attacked.
 
But Odighizuwa was now disarmed. The three students were able to restrain him and held him for the police. Odighizuwa is now in prison for the murders he committed. His killing spree ended when he faced two students with weapons. There would be no further victims that day, thanks to armed resistance.
 
You wouldn't know much about that though. Do you wonder why? The media, though it widely reported the attack left out the fact that Bridges and Gross were armed. Most simply reported that the gunman was jumped and subdued by other students. That two of those students were now armed didn't get a mention.
James Eaves-Johnson wrote about this fact one week later in The Daily Iowan. He wrote: "A Lexus-Nexis search revealed 88 stories on the topic, of which only two mentioned that either Bridges or Gross was armed." This 2002 article noted "This was a very public shooting with a lot of media coverage." But the media left out information showing how two students with firearms ended the killing spree.

Dear group,

Hope you are all well and in good spirit!

If anybody has thought about switching off of Windows, I would suggest
Ubuntu GNU/Linux - its one of the 100's of free linux distribution and
is open source. It is probably just as easy or maybe easier to install
than Windows and will most likely pick up all of your hardware right
off the bat.

Its got the largest community base out of all the GNU/Linux
distributions so anything you need help on, most likely you will be
able to Google it.

I've been completely switched off of Windows for about 2 months now
(had to switch because I got tired of cracking "illegally downloaded"
software - and I couldn't keep it updated because of Windows
(dis)Advantage). I use Ubuntu on my home and work PC and am very
pleased! I've been able to do everything I was doing before. I'm a web
developer and I've actually found better tools for GNU/Linux than I
have on windows. PLUS all are 100% FREE (No trials or demos) and open
source.

http://www.ubuntu.com

If anybody needs help please feel free to email me directly
itsclos@gmail.com - there is also xUbuntu for slower computers, it was
perfect for an old PII my friend had given me.

Hi all,
 
It’s good to have Tony Snow back in the saddle, we can all hope that Mrs John Edwards is equally lucky. When it comes to cancer, a lot of US aren’t so lucky. Too many of US have been affected by this dreaded disease.
 
If you listen to Rush, you know cancer research has come along way in the last couple of decades. The end is not yet in sight, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
 
Certainly you’ve noticed the link atop many of my recent messages. The site belongs to my granddaughter Alycia. If you plan to contribute to the Cancer fund in the near future, you’d be doing me a personal favor to route it thru her site.

Harvard Study on Abortion-Breast Cancer Link Seriously Flawed
http://www.lifenews.com/nat3063.html

by Steven Ertelt
LifeNews.com Editor
April 23, 2007

Boston, MA (LifeNews.com) -- A new survey conducted by Harvard
researchers on the link between abortion and breast cancer
concludes that there is no link. However, further analysis shows
they did not allow enough time for the possible onset of breast
cancer following the women's abortions thus skewing their data.

Published in the April 23 issue of Archives of Internal Medicine,
a JAMA journal, the researchers say that neither induced abortion
nor spontaneous abortion (miscarriage) appears to be associated
with breast cancer risk in premenopausal women.

Michels and her associates at Brigham and Women's Hospital,
Harvard Medical School and Harvard School of Public Health
followed women over a period of 10 years and asked them about
whether they had abortions or miscarriages during that time.

But critics say the results are flawed because the researchers
did not allow enough time following the abortion for the
potential cancer to develop.

Joel Brind, president of the Breast Cancer Prevention Institute,
told LifeNews.com that "This isn't the first time that Harvard
Nurses Study researchers [8] have produced the wrong
epidemiological results."

"They were wrong about combined hormone replacement therapy
reducing the risk of heart attack and stroke, and they're wrong
about abortion," he said.

Brind, a professor at New York's Baruch College, pointed out that
breast cancer cases have risen 40 percent since abortion was made
virtually unlimited in the 1973 Supreme Court case Roe v. Wade.

In 1996, Brind and other researchers conducted analysis of all
the major studies done in the field to that time.

They concluded that women who had an abortion before their first
term child had a 50% increased risk of developing breast cancer
while women who had an abortion after their first child sustained
a 30% increased risk.

EU/US Merger: New Global Order By Stealth
Few notice huge shift towards globalization as
frothing masses distracted by climate change debate
Steve Watson Infowars.net Friday, May 4, 2007

In a sweeping move that has garnered surprisingly
little attention this week the United States and the
European Union have signed up to a new transatlantic
economic partnership that will see regulatory
standards "harmonized" and will lay the basis for a
merging of the US and EU into one single market, a
huge step on the path to a new globalized world order.

The BBC reported from the Summit in Washington on
Monday:

The two sides agreed to set up an "economic
council" to push ahead with regulatory convergence in
nearly 40 areas, including intellectual property,
financial services, business takeovers and the motor
industry.

Skipping over what the fall-out from a single Western
market will be, the BBC simply announced "The aim is
to increase trade and lower costs." before moving
swiftly on to analyse what this means in terms of
global warming.

While the masses are being whipped up into a never
ending frenzy over climate change at every given
opportunity, hardcore political actions that will
affect the lives of everyone on the planet in the here
and now are being skated over with little or no
attention being paid to them.

The proponents and architects of a one world order
have worked long and hard behind the scenes for a long
time pushing a gradual erosion of national sovereignty
via a harmonization of all areas of life, economic,
social, cultural and environmental.
http://i.am/jah/freedman.htm

Such harmonization and elimination of diversity is the
only way to maximize the profit of the few at the
expense of the many, while maintaining tight controls
over society as a whole in order for a long
continuation of that status quo.
http://i.am/jah/300.htm

The global corporate elite are the only ones who will
benefit from essentially wiping out the free market
and eliminating economic competition across nations.

The EU has long been used as a tool for such
harmonizing globalization and has now reached the
point at which it has become a supranational federal
government for Europe. Over the years, what was
originally sold as a simple free trade treaty has
slowly been built from the bottom up into an all
encompassing monolithic authority over the entire
region.

The areas it now seeks to dominate also include public
health, social policy, transport, justice,
agriculture, fisheries, energy, economic and social
cohesion, the environment, internal and external
trade, and consumer protection.

It has recently been highlighted that European
globalists such as Britain's Tony Blair and Germany's
Angela Merkel are seeking to implement by stealth
areas of the EU constitution regardless of its blanket
rejection by voters. Senior British Cabinet sources
have warned that they are also pushing hard for
Brussels to be given a full-time unelected president,
who would serve a five year term and speak as the
voice of Europe on the world stage.

It is commonly accepted that reforms to strengthen the
European Parliament, scheduled to be implemented
before 2009, could undermine the ability of member
states to opt out of EU laws, as Britain does at
present, effectively ending national sovereignty.

In their important history of the EU, The Great
Deception, British authors Christopher Booker and
Richard North, concluded that the 27 member nations
now entangled in the union have ceded their
sovereignty in a carefully planned stealth operation.
They grudgingly credit european globalists with
accomplishing "a slow-motion coup detat: the most
spectacular coup detat in history."

The authors of The Great Deception summarized the
effect of the Treaty of Rome: "Thus did the central
deception of the whole story become established. From
now on, the real agenda, political integration, was to
be deliberately concealed under the guise of economic
integration. Building Europe was to be presented as a
matter of trade and jobs."
http://i.am/jah/robab.htm

In addition dissidents and outcasts such as Vladimir
Bukovksy have warned that an elite plan has long
existed whereby the EU would be hijacked and
transformed into a Soviet style Socialist superstate
that would eliminate the individual nation state's
power and create a governing body with no
accountability or direct representation.

In 2003 the BBC uncovered incredible archived
documents which confirmed that both the EU and its
single currency, the Euro, were the brainchild of the
secretive Bilderberg Group. Some 50 years BEFORE the
implementation of the European single currency,
Bilderberg, now infamous as the secret elite hand
behind world events, had drawn up the plans.

In addition to the EU, an agenda for a North American
Union is now beyond doubt and is well on course
according to the internal policy documents of its
unelected legislators, the Council on Foreign
Relations.
http://i.am/jah/illumin.htm

The CFR's North American Union mirrors Bilderberg's
European Union. In the CFR's document, Building a
North American Community, mention is given to the
Bilderberg group in a recommendation that private
bodies be formed to direct policy between Canada,
Mexico, and the United States. The document states:

"To ensure a regular injection of creative energy
into the various efforts related to North American
integration, the three governments should appoint an
independent body of advisers. This body should be
composed of eminent persons from outside government,
appointed to staggered multiyear terms to ensure their
independence. Their mandate would be to engage in
creative exploration of new ideas from a North
American perspective and to provide a public voice for
North America. A complementary approach would be to
establish private bodies that would meet regularly or
annually to buttress North American relationships,
along the lines of the Bilderberg..."

Very much like the EU, provisions for a NAU such as
NAFTA and GATT were sold at their inception as free
trade agreements. As time has progressed we have
witnessed the birth of the "Security and Prosperity
Partnership", a treaty, which seems to be a little
more than a simple economic agreement, between leaders
of the US, Mexico and Canada that has been agreed
without Congressional oversight.

A Canadian report has described the SPP as "an
international framework for trilateral and bilateral
cooperation in North America" that is "not a formal
international treaty" or "an overarching binding legal
agreement." But what is an "international framework"
that commits U.S. officials from various federal
agencies to working with officials of two other
countries? Why is such a process not subjected to
congressional scrutiny and approval?

Last September we reported that Journalist Jerome
Corsi had received the first documents pertaining to a
FOIA request asking for full disclosure of the SPP
office in its activities towards creating a Pan
American Union.

The documents show that a wide range of US
administrative law is being re-written in stealth
under this program to "integrate" and "harmonize" with
administrative law in Mexico and Canada, just as has
become commonplace within the EU.

The documents contain references to upwards of 13
working groups within an entire organized
infrastructure that has drawn from officials within
most areas of administrative government including U.S.
departments of State, Homeland Security, Commerce,
Treasury, Agriculture, Transportation, Energy, Health
and Human Services, and the office of the U.S. Trade
Representative.

Corsi also reported that at a recent high-level confab
in Banff, an assistant U.S. secretary of state, Thomas
A. Shannon , chaired a panel that featured a
presentation by Prof. Robert Pastor, author of a book
promoting the development of a North American union as
a regional government and the adoption of the Amero as
a common monetary currency to replace the dollar and
the peso.

Just a conspiracy theory? Not according to Steve
Previs of Jefferies International who stated on CNBC,
"I think one thing for people who are dollar based
need to focus on is the Amero, that's the one thing
that nobody is talking about that I think is going to
have a big impact... on everybody's life in Canada,
the U.S. and Mexico..."

A global crash, predicted by former World Bank chief
economist and nobel prize winner Joseph Stiglitz, and
a totally devalued dollar that can barely rival the
peso are greasing the skids for a single North
American currency. This spells disaster for all
Americans who wish to maintain their standard of
living and not find themselves barefoot on the street
in a bread queue.

The decline of the economy in the US is being caused
by the very predatory globalist policies of the IMF
and World Bank that are still presented to us as the
solution for economic turmoil. These two globalist
vampires have drained the third world dry, and are now
focusing their attention on enslaving the developed
world.
http://i.am/jah/syst.htm

The single currency and a 'new economic order' is a
major step on the road to global governance. Europe
already has its own strong single currency, while the
dollar's days seem to be numbered. When money is being
printed by a private corporation is it any surprise to
see a push for a merger with other countries'
currencies?

Talk has long been of a global currency by 2018 if
plans go accordingly. A 1988 famous cover of The
Economist emphasized this, depicting a phoenix
standing atop burning paper money symbolizing its rise
out of their destruction, with the words "Get ready
for a world currency" next to it.

The article carried in The Economist, titled "Get
Ready for the Phoenix," stated that, "THIRTY years
from now, Americans, Japanese, Europeans, and people
in many other rich countries, and some relatively poor
ones will probably be paying for their shopping with
the same currency."

The article went on to state that sovereignty will be
lost with the advent of the new currency, but that
trends towards globalization are already doing away
with it anyway.

"The phoenix zone would impose tight constraints
on national governments. There would be no such thing,
for instance, as a national monetary policy. The world
phoenix supply would be fixed by a new central bank,
descended perhaps from the IMF. The world inflation
rate - and hence, within narrow margins, each national
inflation rate- would be in its charge. Each country
could use taxes and public spending to offset
temporary falls in demand, but it would have to borrow
rather than print money to finance its budget deficit.
With no recourse to the inflation tax, governments and
their creditors would be forced to judge their
borrowing and lending plans more carefully than they
do today. This means a big loss of economic
sovereignty, but the trends that make the phoenix so
appealing are taking that sovereignty away in any
case. Even in a world of more-or-less floating
exchange rates, individual governments have seen their
policy independence checked by an unfriendly outside
world."

"Pencil in the phoenix for around 2018, and welcome it
when it comes," the article concludes.

In 2004 Robert Mundell, the Nobel-prize winning
economist often credited with paving the way to the
European single currency, called for a global
currency.

In an interview with French paper Libration, Mundell
said: "With the emergence of the euro and its
instability against the dollar, Europe, the United
States and the Asian powers should come together and
create a new international monetary system."

In 2006 the scandal-ridden and highly secretive Bank
For International Settlements, considered to be the
world's top central banking policy, released a policy
paper that called for the end of national currencies
in favor of a global model of currency formats.

The BIS is a branch of the of the Bretton-Woods
International Financial architecture and closely
allied with the Bilderberg Group. It is controlled by
an inner elite that represents all the world's major
central banking institutions. John Maynard Keynes,
perhaps the most influential economist of all time,
wanted it closed down as it was used to launder money
for the Nazis in World War II.

It appears we are now seeing the slow realization of a
global economic system with a single currency.

The end game of such regionalizing harmonization is of
course a global government.

It has long been recognized that an instant world
government would be roundly rejected by the masses and
that a stepping stone agenda, a stealth implementation
of a new global order is the key to its success.

Writing in the April 1974 issue of Foreign Affairs,
the flagship publication of the Council on Foreign
Relations (CFR), Richard N. Gardner, who has held a
number of State Department posts, argued against what
he called "instant world government." Instead, he
wrote, "the 'house of world order' will have to be
built from the bottom up rather than from the top
down. It will look like a great 'booming, buzzing
confusion,' to use William James' famous description
of reality, but an end run around national
sovereignty, eroding it piece by piece, will
accomplish much more than the old-fashioned frontal
assault."

In a similar sentiment, former National Security
Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski pointed to
"regionalization" as the key for "globalization" in
his address to Gorbachev's State of the World Forum in
October 1995: "The precondition for eventual
globalization genuine globalization is progressive
regionalization, because thereby we move toward
larger, more stable, more cooperative units."

This week we have witnessed the first steps towards
the biggest "cooperative unit" there has ever been
with the groundwork being set for a EU-US single
market. However, as the CFR would say, amidst the
"booming, buzzing confusion" few have noticed.

FBI-CIA War Over President Kennedy Assassination Erupts Anew In US

By: Sorcha Faal, and as reported to her Western Subscribers

The ongoing battle between the rival American Intelligence Agencies, The
Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Central Intelligence Agency
(CIA), over the November 22, 1963 assassination of President John F.
Kennedy has taken, perhaps, its most bizarre turn in the releasing of
CIA terrorist, and implicated JFK Gunman, Luis Posada Carriles, and as
we can read as reported by the Reuters News Service in their article
titled "U.S. charges against anti-Castro exile dismissed", and which
says:

"A U.S. judge threw out all charges against anti-Castro Cuban exile and
former CIA operative Luis Posada Carriles on Tuesday, allowing him to go
free days before he was set to be tried for immigration fraud.

The surprise decision by U.S. District Judge Kathleen Cardone in El
Paso, Texas, left uncertain the fate of Posada, who has a long history
of violent opposition to Cuban leader Fidel Castro, and is viewed by
many Castro opponents as a hero. He is wanted in Cuba and Venezuela,
Where he is accused of masterminding the 1976 bombing of a Cuban airliner
that killed 73 people."

Russian Intelligence Analysts in their reports on this continuing saga
show that the U.S. District Judge, Kathleen Cardone, who released the CIA
terrorist Posada has long standing ties with the Bush Family and was
appointed to her position by the current American President in May,
2003.

The Bush Family has long been implicated in the murder of the American
President Kennedy with the senior Bush Leader, and former US President,
having been appointed by the late President Ford as head of the CIA
after the forced resignation of President Richard Nixon.

KGB reports from that era state that President Fords fears were that
both his and President Nixons involvement in the assassination plot of
President Kennedy would be uncovered by US Congressional investigators
intent upon undoing the damage the 1963 Coup against the US Government
had done to their country.

President Ford, and who served on the Warren Commission that was charged
with the cover-up of the assassination plot of President Kennedy, chose
George Bush Sr. as he knew that the former American President was
himself a former CIA officer and also implicated in the Coup to
overthrow the US Government by the murder of its leader.

The greatest fear of President Ford, according to these reports,
would be the unraveling of the Coup Plot by the discovery that Jack
Ruby, the killer of the alleged President Kennedy assassin, Lee Harvey
Oswald, once worked for President Nixon, and as we can read as confirmed
by the subsequent release of US Government Documents, and that state:

"A 1947 memo, found in 1975 by a scholar going through a pile of
recently released FBI documents, supports Giancana's contention. In the
memo, addressed to a congressional committee investigating organized
crime, an FBI assistant states: "It is my sworn testimony that one Jack
Rubenstein of Chicago ... is performing information functions for the
staff of Congressman Richard Nixon, Republican of California. It is
requested Rubenstein not be called for open testimony in the
aforementioned hearings." (Later in 1947, Rubenstein moved to Dallas and
shortened his last name [to Ruby].)

Undercover work for the young Congressman Nixon would have been in
keeping with Ruby's history as a police tipster and government
informant. In 1950, Ruby gave closed-door testimony to Estes Kefauver's
special Senate committee investigating organized crime. Committee
staffer Luis Kutner later described Ruby as "a syndicate lieutenant who
had been sent to Dallas to serve as a liaison for Chicago mobsters." In
exchange for Ruby's testimony, the FBI is said to have eased up on its
probe of organized crime in Dallas. In 1959, Ruby became an informant
for the FBI.

Ruby's old Chicago boss, Giancana, was murdered in his home in Oak Park,
Ill., in 1975 shortly before he was to have appeared before a Senate
committee investigating assassinations. Seven .22-caliber bullets were
blasted into his mouth and neck, Mob symbolism for "talks too much."

These latest actions by the FBI against the CIA appear to have been
triggered by the deathbed confession of former CIA Agent and President
Kennedy Coup Plotter E. Howard Hunt, and who, prior to his death,
confessed his role in the murder of the American President by also
implicating Kennedys Vice President, Lynden B. Johnson, who became
the American President upon Kennedys murder and appointed the late
President Ford to the Warren Commission cover-up.

According to the FSB reports on this matter, the information given to
the FBI by E. Howard Hunt prior to his death, implicating the CIA
terrorist Posada in the Kennedy murder and US Coup, was compelling
enough for the FBI to break ranks with their own President and make
unprecedented contact with the Cuban Government of Fidel Castro, even
going so far as to send agents to the Caribbean Island of their sworn
enemy.

To the present day importance of the 1963 assassination of President
Kennedy, and the Coup upon the United States people's government, and in
light of the United States rapid descent into a virtual police state, it
was, perhaps, best stated by Lee Harvey Oswalds killer, Jack Ruby,
who stated to the Warren Commission:

"Well, you won't see me again. I tell you that a whole new form of
government is going to take over the country, and I know I won't live to
see you another time."

Jack Ruby was indeed prophetic in these words as he died a few short
years later and the whole new form of government the people of the
United States currently live under in no way resembles the greatness
that had been achieved under President Kennedy.

Regarding the Counter-Coup forces within the United States opening this new
chapter into these matters, their potential for ultimate success is not
known to us, but, if based upon their past history, we can see the darkness
of failure once again facing them, as their Nation's descent into madness
continues.

We Must UNITE, Now!
For the time being,  I consider myself an "inconvenient Truthteller." And the truth, folks, is neither pretty nor convenient, but you will find it on this profile.

However, lets get one thing straight, now, and forever -

Racism, in any form, is not what this profile is about, nor could I be considered a racist based and witnessed by the life I've led. I have a deep abiding appreciation and respect for all humanity, regardless of their race, creeds, or cultures. America would not be the country that it is without its cultural and religious diversity. Actually, it's rather difficult to keep from becoming racist after being exposed to the truth about our country and its dark history.

But, and there always seems to be one - I am deeply troubled and concerned by the "out of control" reverse discrimination against American Caucasians and Christians. In today's aberrant and 'politically correct' environment white and/or Christian culture is slowly being eradicated and silenced by the government and other malicious establishments, which have virtually destroyed the foundation and principles that the country was built on.

I've never apologized for being "white" and from European descent and I'm not about to start now! No American should be manipulated to feel compelled to make concessions to society based on their color and/or religion. In theory, this doctrine is put into practice everyday for any other ethnic or religious group in America, except now, for Caucasians and Christians.

And I'm not alluding to the wealthy elite clubs, such as, the "white men in suits", I refer to decent ordinary white Americans that are responsible members of society who have no illusions of grandeur, are honorable parents, faithful employees, good neighbors, and an asset to their community, through either, their respective faiths or civic obligations. This group of white Americans are not racists, nor do they ascribe to the ideology of white supremacist. They devoutly believe that ALL Americans should be provided the same exact opportunities regardless of race or class, that people should only be judged based on character and treated accordingly by their merit.

Yet, crimes against this portion of Americana are being underreported and/or not reported at all. The brutal kidnapping, rape, and torture of a young, white Knoxville couple by four black men has never been given any mainstream media attention since the heinous act occurred in January 2007. Then Knoxville blacks organize a rally to champion the perpetrators. Can anyone imagine the media firestorm if the races were reversed? It would be pandemonium and blacks would be rioting in the streets screaming for justice. But whites that demand justice for crimes against their race are brandished racists and labeled intolerant. Would any sane person with one shred of common sense or decency consider this psychology "fair play?" I would hope not.

Actually, to all Americans I say this, "WE HAVE BIGGER PROBLEMS!"

It's time to retire the race wars and assimilate to combat the forces being waged against us that have kept us divided in a forever 'battle royale' of hate and discrimination. It's time that we consider ourselves as Americans, not black, white, red, or yellow, etc. people from different countries and cultures with various labels. Along with white Americans, every ethnic minority in this country has been used, abused and discarded by only one faction of people: (counterfeit-)Jewish ZIONISTS.

King of kings’ Bible – Revelation 2:9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and [I know] the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are NOT, but [are] (Idumeans) the synagogue of Satan.
http://i.am/jah/kofkad.htm

They are responsible for sowing racial discord among all Americans, and now, they have completely hijacked this country along with the government. It's time for every American to stand together, to unite once and for all, and take our country back. Why? Because WE are the many, and THEY are the few and because what they are doing is morally wrong - plain and simple. If we fail to stand up to these criminals at this moment in history, right now, we will be responsible for committing our children and grandchildren to a reality more horrible than any present day horror movie can realistically portray. It will be hell on earth, literally!
http://i.am/jah/fightfor.htm

The Hate Crimes Bill just last week passed through Congress and is awaiting Public Enemy #1's signature. At that point, people like me, will be considered criminals. The internet will soon be a sanitized sewer replete with lies and total misinformation. The truth is being stamped out of existence much like the Pharaoh Akhenaten was nearly lost to history in ancient Egypt 3000 years ago. Is this the kind of America you want to live in? Every one who cherishes the freedoms that the founders of the country assured us has a decision to make, but it must be made with haste and urgency.
http://i.am/jah/plan.htm

Do you want to live free, or watch American Idol?

Turn off the idiot box get on the internet, while you still can, and educate yourself. Then begin talking with family, friends, co-workers and church members about the truth.

The inconvenient truth is that (counterfeit-)Jewish Zionism is raping not just this country, but humanity as a whole. As we speak, Muslims in the Middle East are literally being exterminated - wiped off the map. And they don't just have Arab murder on their minds, all non-(counterfeit-)Jewish people will go in the exact same bloody manner and that includes US.

As Americans, we must UNITE right here, right now, and stop them.
 
Captain !

THE MACROBIOTIC GENIUS OF WALTER RUSSELL

By John David Mann

Copyright 1989 John David Mann


----------------------------------------------------------------

"The Times of July 21 [1930] contains an article stating
that Walter Russell challenges the Newtonian theory of
gravitation. This artist, who is admittedly not a scientist, goes
on to say that the fundamentals of science are so hopelessly
wrong and so contrary to nature, that nothing but a major
surgical operation upon the present primitive beliefs can ever
put them in line for a workable 'cosmogenetic synthesis'...
"It seems to me it would be more fitting for an artist of
Mr. Russell's acknowledged distinction in his own field, to
remain in it, and not go trespassing on 'ground which even angels
fear to tread'.
"For nearly three hundred years no one, not even a
scientist, has had the temerity to question Newton's laws of
gravitation. Such an act on the part of a scientist would be akin
to blasphemy, and for an artist to commit such an absurdity is,
to treat it kindly, an evidence of either misguidance or crass
ignorance of the enormity of his act..."

-- Dr. John E. Jackson, The New York Times, August 3, 1930.

"Dr. John E. Jackson's letter to you, a copy of which he
graciously sent to me, is a perfectly natural letter of
resentment for which I do not blame him in the least.
"It is true that I have challenged the accurateness or
completeness of the Newtonian laws of gravitation, and will just
as vigorously attack the other "sacred laws" of Kepler, and any
others, ancient or modern, that need rewriting...
"I am sorry an artist had to do it, but Sir Oliver Lodge
said that no scientist could make the supreme discovery of the
one thing for which science is looking and hoping. He said that
such a discovery would have to be the 'supreme inspiration of
some poet, painter, philosopher or saint'
...
"Newton, for example, would have solved the other half of
the gravitation problem if he had found out how that apple and
the tree upon which it grew got up in the air before the apple
fell. I challenge the world of science to correctly and
completely answer that question..."

-- Dr. Walter Russell, The New York Times, August 17, 1930.

"I now wish to modify my statements and criticisms, for,
since writing that letter, my viewpoint has somewhat changed...
"What I considered to be the overnight inspiration of a
'crank' might be, instead, the result of an intelligent and
prolonged study of Nature.
"I am immensely intrigued by Russell's 'two-way' principle,
for it gives this universe of motion a meaning to me that it did
not have before. In fact, we know very little of the why of
anything
...
"Why did not some scientist think of this instead of waiting
300 years for an artist to tell us about it?... I invite the
collaboration and criticism of my fellow scientists at large to
join me in this... If Russell is right, and he surely thinks he
is, his claim that science needs 'a major surgical operation' is
justifiable...
"

-- Dr. John E. Jackson, The New York Times, November 9,
1930.

Dr. John E. Jackson was furious. What educated person would
have the audacity to challenge Newton and Kepler? For months the
debate raged in the New York Times' "Letters" page. Prompted by
the release of an artist's heretical views on science, Nature and
the universe,
the Times' 1930 filibuster culminated in Dr.
Jackson's dramatic reversal -- what began as a caustic attack was
transformed into a call for his colleagues' support that had the
fervent ring of religious conversion. Dr. Jackson, whoever he
was, had caught a glimmer of the genius of Walter Russell.
But in the end, Dr. Jackson notwithstanding, the world of
science did not embrace Walter Russell, nor have sixty years of
progress changed that position
. Today, despite the wide sphere of
contacts and influence generated by Russell and his wife and
colleague, Lao, their teachings largely await unearthing.
However, the time for that rediscovery may be at hand; for
the Russells' vision suddenly has burning relevance to an
acknowledged urgent matter of global health. And the role of
advocate for the Russell perspective may best be fulfilled by
those in the macrobiotic movement -- for the macrobiotic world
view and Russell's practical cosmology have much in common.

Cloud Over the Ozone
Our story begins some ten miles above the Earth's surface in
the stratosphere, home of the planet's ailing ozone skin and
birthplace of the emerging global awareness of the limits of
man's technology. In 1974, two scientists at the University of
California made an announcement that shocked the world. When Drs.
Sherwood Rowland and Mario Molina warned of possible global ozone
depletion, they touched off a controversy that was to involve
scientists, industry, policy-makers, the press and the public.
The "Ozone War," as it came to be called, was principally
responsible for ushering in a new era of planetary policy. [See
sidebar.]
Fifteen years later, the ponderous gears of human response
are finally grinding into action. Aimed at coping with the
infamous "ozone hole, a spate of local and global policy-making
is pushing its way forward in an unprecedented atmosphere of
international cooperation. Rep. Al Gore (D-TN), the seasoned
environmental advocate who helped uncover Love Canal and has
stalked the Greenhouse effect for years, recently introduced
legislation to ban production of CFCs (the chemical generally
thought responsible for the ozone crisis) within 5 years. As Gore
observed this February:
"The political sentiment is changing very rapidly... I think
people are mad about this and ready for dramatic action."
But are they the right actions? Not according to Walter
Russell, who predicted the ozone dilemma 35 years ago -- a full
20 years before the Rowland/Molina research made headlines -- and
ascribed it to an entirely different cause.

If Russell's views were correct, then the chlorine chemistry
of CFCs is not the prime culprit [see sidebar], and no one is
looking in the one direction that matters most. In fact,
according to Russell, there is one overarching solution to the
atmospheric emergency: stop making nuclear stockpiles --
immediately.

A Different Scenario
The year is 1954. Sherwood Rowland's ozone prognosis is two
decades in the future; Three Mile Island is a quarter century
still to come. To most of us, the "Greenhouse effect" connotes
little more than a better way to grow tomatoes. The word
"ecology" scarcely exists in the mainstream lexicon.
This is the year atmospheric bomb testing has begun, both by
the Soviet Union in Siberia and by the United States on the
Bikini atoll. John Wayne and a company of actors and movie
personnel are filming a Western in Nevada, and emerge from long
days' of shooting covered with radioactive fallout. Years later,
it will be discovered that nearly all of them have just received
a death sentence. But all of that is many years away; for now,
most of us are caught up in the promise of Eisenhower's "Atoms
for Peace."
This year, Walter and Lao Russell write their warning in a
privately circulated newsletter to their students: Oxygen and
radioactive stockpiles cannot coexist. Digging up the Earth's
heavier elements, concentrating their reactions and releasing
their products into the atmosphere is a recipe for disaster.
Three years later the Russells publish a book, Atomic
Suicide?
, whose principle message is that the development of the
nuclear weaponry and industry, if allowed to continue, will
eventually destroy the planet's oxygen
.
"The element of surprise which could delay the discovery of
the great danger, and thus allow more plutonium piles to come
into existence, is the fact that scientists are looking near the
ground for fallout dangers and other radioactive menaces. The
greatest radioactive dangers are accumulating from eight to
twelve miles up [in the stratosphere]. The upper atmosphere is
already charged with death-dealing radioactivity, for which it
not yet sent us its bill. It is slowly coming, however, and we
will have to pay for it for another century, even if atomic
energy plants ceased today."
(Atomic Suicide?, page 18.)
Later in the book, they predict that the oxygen-destroying
effects of radiation would not be noticed "until the late
seventies."

Atomic Prophesies
It was an uncannily accurate forecast: ozone depletion was
first noticed over the Antarctic in 1982 -- and scientists have
since concluded that it first appeared in 1979. But then, as now,
the Russells' voice received little notice.
The somber prediction of Atomic Suicide? was not the first
time Russell had gone out on a limb with scientific prophecy.
His spiral charts of the atomic table, copyrighted in 1926,
predicted the discovery of the transuranic elements Plutonium and
Neptunium, as well as the now-familiar elements of "heavy water,
Deuterium and Tritium" -- years before they were isolated in
research labs.

Some have claimed that the 1926 Russell charts (for which he
later received an honorary doctorate from the American Academy of
Sciences
) and his years of New York City lectures on the subject
led directly to the laboratory research that resulted in these
elements' later discovery. It is difficult to document such a
claim at a half century's distance, but this sequence certainly
is feasible. Russell himself evidently exerted considerable
energy for years urging the research labs of Union Carbide,
Westinghouse, General Electric and others to verify his atomic
findings.
In any case, the exclusion from the mainstream of Russell's
charts is perhaps one of the most unfortunate snafus in the
history of science. For in neglecting to credit Russell with
these pivotal atomic discoveries
, the world also lost track of
the other side of the Russell equation: the larger scientific
understanding in the spiral charts
, the pragmatic warnings that
accompanied them, and the breathtaking scope of macrobiotic
thought his life and work revealed.

Who Was Walter Russell?
Russell's stunning achievements in science were but one
facet of a career that was unconventional, astonishingly
successful, dazzlingly versatile and unabashedly mystical. Often
called "the 20th Century's Leonardo" and "the man who tapped the
secrets of the universe," Russell maintained that a firm grasp of
nature's universal principles would permit anyone to excel in any
area of endeavor; thus genius was all human beings' birthright.

His own accomplishments exemplify this belief. A largely
self-taught Renaissance man, Russell carved out his first
successful career as an artist, achieving international
reputation in such diverse fields as portraiture, poetry,
sculpture and architecture. His accomplishments as a portrait
painter and sculptor, in particular, won him commissions from
dozens of era notables, such as Mark Twain, Thomas Watson (the
founder of IBM), both Roosevelts (Teddy and FDR), and Thomas
Edison. He also designed buildings and urban layout -- New York
City's famous Hotel Pierre, for example, is a Russell creation.
Forays into the world of athletics earned him prestigious awards
in figure-skating, horsemanship and race-horse training.
To Russell, such bravura performance was significant mainly
for its value as a demonstration that Divine Law and Balance
could be tapped by human effort, and the world of art was only a
starting point. Russell's yearning to imbue the social fabric of
his era with principles of universal justice led to his long
association with the Twilight Club, a contemporary "think tank"
of artists and social philosophers.
Through the Twilight Club, whose direction he assumed in
1895, Russell formed bonds that were to endure throughout his
life; in the early decades of the century the work of the
Twilight Club members, under the influence of Russell's teaching
of Divine Law and Universal Order, produced a virtually endless
procession of social innovations, such as the creation of child
labor laws and child welfare laws, Better Business Bureau and the
elimination of sweatshops.

The Living Universe
It was in science, however, that Russell left his least
known and perhaps his greatest legacy. While steeped in the
discoveries and frontiers of his own time, Russell's science
essentially is a thorough reworking of a Taoist or pre-Socratic
world conception in modern terms. Freely blending mystic and
religious imagery with rigorous mechanical logic, Russell's
scientific cosmology is rooted in the idea that all phenomena,
from star systems to atomic systems, arise from the same infinite
source to live, grow and die by precisely identical processes.

Hence, there is no fundamental difference between animate and
inanimate matter in Russell's universe -- all are living
manifestations of God's universe.
"All bodies in all the universe are the same in all
respects, whether they are electrons, cells, rocks, metals,
trees, men, planets or suns. All of them live and die in the same
manner. All breathe in the charging breath of life and breathe
out the discharging breath of death. All of them compress heat
and polarize when they breathe in, and expand, cool and
depolarize when they breathe out." (Atomic Suicide?, p. 9.)
Thus, Russell's universal mechanics hinges on a
reinterpretation of the ancient "unified field" theorem of yin
and yang. Life -- not only biological life, but the existence of
planets, gases and metals as well -- is caused by increasing
compression; and death, by expansion. These two processes, which
he also terms "charging" and "discharging," are not seen as
separate forces but as opposite stages and directions of one
process, much like the winding up and subsequent unwinding of a
spring. Life dominates every form from its inception to the point
of maximum compression, when the spring cannot be wound any
tighter; compression then begins to decrease, radiation assumes
dominance, and the process of releasing life's charge -- of dying
-- unfolds.
To Russell, the elements of matter are also living entities
in various stages of birth, growth and decay. "Carbon, the basis
of organic life, is the expression of matter at maturity;
elements of higher atomic weights are already dominated by the
aging side of the pendulum's swing. In the heaviest elements, the
force of decay reaches near-total dominance over the force of
life -- thus radioactivity is death incarnate." [See sidebar,
"The Spiral of Elements."]

The Secret Life of Plutonium
The key to grasping Russell's understanding of radioactivity
and ozone is the realization that all the elements, like all life
forms, are ideally suited to existence within their own natural,
local ecology. Thus, all the elements, when left in their natural
dimension, serve beneficial and life-giving purposes, including
Urium -- later dubbed "Plutonium."
Put another way, each octave or dimension of matter has its
own natural pressure zone. [For an explanation of the octave
idea, see the sidebar, "The Spiral of Elements."] The five
elements of organic life (C, H, N, O and Si) all need the normal
pressures found at the Earth's surface to exist normally. The
natural dimension for the supercompressed, naturally radioactive
elements (radium, uranium, plutonium, et al.) is deep
underground, where they are widely dispersed in solid rock.
Here, far from being deadly or poisonous, they actually have made
possible organic life on Earth's surface: through billions of
microscopic explosions, they have gradually caused the
surrounding rocky crust to break down and release water and other
lower-octave elements -- something like a geological compost.
"Water and soil are decayed and dying rock. They are,
literally, dead rocks. Out of death in Nature life springs...
Think of the hundreds of millions of years Nature has to work to
decay solid rock and metal planets sufficiently to create enough
decayed surface, and an atmosphere, for organic life to become
possible. The radioactive metals made that possible. Radioactive
metals are dead and dying bodies. They belong underground just as
dead animal bodies belong underground. They are not poisons in
their own environment... Man makes them poisonous by removing
them from their purposeful environment."
"Just as the slight decay of an overripe peach will not hurt
you, while a fully decayed one might kill you, so, likewise, the
'overripe' chemical elements of the earth which are not too far
from carbon [potassium, selenium, iodine, etc.] will not hurt
you, while the further they are beyond carbon the more deadly
they become, and the more impossible it is to guard yourself from
their quick death." (Atomic Suicide?)
In short, said the Russells, the only structures naturally
suited to exist together with the radioactive elements are rocks.
Even concrete, durable metals, "glassified" tombs or salt beds
-- structures presently considered to contain high-level
radioactive wastes -- will eventually decay in proximity to the
concentrated pressures of such supercompost. The soft tissues of
the fourth and fifth octaves, including our bodies, vegetation
and the atmosphere itself, certainly cannot endure such a
powerful unwinding.
So, then, what would happen? In Russell's estimation, the
lighter pressures of the stratosphere would retain the majority
of radioactive fallout, and would be the first region that would
reveal the wholesale destruction of oxygen. That's oxygen, not
just ozone: if played through to the end, the last act of the
nuclear drama would see the disappearance of all oxygen on the
planet, whether as ozone, water or the O2 we breathe. In this
context, the ozone hole, as serious as it is in its own right,
emerges as an early warning sign.

Our Depleted Personal Ozone
In addition to destroying ozone, Russell's logic would also
seem to predict other early effects, including the destruction of
oxygen mechanisms within our bodies; for the body concentrates
far more radiation within its tissues than exists freely in the
atmosphere. Dr. Tim Binder, a leading spokesman for the Russells'
work
, has postulated that "radiation may affect the oxygen-ozone
in our white blood cells that is one of the principal [immune
system] mechanisms used to destroy pathogens."
This line of thinking may already have been confirmed. For
decades, a body of surprising data on health and radiation has
been observed by a number of researchers, notably Dr. Alice
Stewart in England and Dr. Ernest Sternglass in the US. Their
figures show that long-term, relatively low-level level radiation
may wreak up to 1,000 times more biological havoc than currently
accepted "risk levels" predict. The mechanism responsible for
this dramatic trend was first discovered in 1972 by a Canadian
researcher named Abram Petkau, and has since been confirmed by
other researchers. [This issue's article by Sara Shannon details
the Petkau effect and its dietary implications -- Ed.]
The little-publicized "Petkau effect" occurs through the
creation of highly reactive oxygen molecules with a "negative
charge" (the negative ion O2). But according to Russell, Nature
produces no such thing as a "negative charge." All matter, he
maintained, exhibits both charging and discharging properties;
and all charges, whether of male or female polarity, are
positive. In Russell's terms, what Petkau observed is not a
"highly reactive negative ion" but a changed form of oxygen that
is abnormally balanced towards discharging its energy rather than
charging -- unwinding rather than winding.
Thus, what Petkau first documented in 1972 and what Rowland
and Molina first suggested two years later may prove to be
precisely the same symptom, only on different scales. Perhaps we
are already suffering from internal "ozone depletion;" or put
another way, perhaps the Earth's ozone crisis amounts to
radiation burn -- Gaia herself is already suffering from the
Petkau effect.

Rx For Disaster
A problem without solutions is not worth unearthing, and
Russell's life was centered on practical solutions. As an
immediate measure, Russell recommended that all nuclear
stockpiles be dismantled and their materials dispersed in deep
desert trenches. His reasoning here is three-fold. First, the
goal ought to be to return these elements to their natural
context -- that is, underground -- where they originally were
harmless. Secondly, concentrating them in massed piles is a big
mistake: they should be widely dispersed, as they occur in
nature. Thirdly, remote desert regions should be selected as an
added precaution, assuming that it will take some time for us to
master Russell's atomic mechanics sufficiently to repatriate the
volatile materials properly and, if possible, correct the
existing stratospheric damage.
The key to such proper treatment may lie in the intriguing
science of atomic transmutation, which holds that elements can
change into one another freely within normal conditions (i.e.,
not requiring the tremendous heat and pressures of a high-tech
particle accelerator.) Also like Georges Ohsawa, Russell
asserted that low-energy, "table-top" transmutation of elements
was eminently possible.
Fueled by an early conviction that the civilization of our
present time would require new sources of energy, Russell
developed an approach to derive free hydrogen from the atmosphere
through atomic transmutation. [The recent claims of several teams
of scientists to have achieved "table-top" nuclear fusion may
finally have provided mainstream evidence of this claim; as of
this writing, not enough information has been released to
evaluate the nature of the news-making discoveries -- Ed.]
Other energy sources suggested by Russell's work include
devices using the winding-up "life principle" of nature, rather
than the winding-down "death principle" exemplified by explosive
technologies of combustion and atomic fission. In other words,
Russell maintained that so far we have employed only half the
possibilities the two-way universe presents. Examples of such
technologies include an "implosion engine" and a logarithmic
solar amplifier. [Forthcoming issues of Solstice will report on
the present state of several of these technologies -- Ed.]
This is a radical concept; it is not hard to see why the
great electrical science pioneer Nikola Tesla once told Russell
he should "lock up his work in a vault in the Smithsonian for a
thousand years" to keep it for future generations who might be
developed sufficiently to understand it.


Challenge to Science
Meanwhile, back at the labs of established science and the
chambers of policy-making, it is highly unlikely that anyone is
talking about Russell's assessment of the problem -- let alone
his suggestions for solving it. Achieving such a discussion is an
undertaking even more ambitious than it would first appear. For
scientists to consider the hypothesis, they will have to face its
author. And taking a hard look at Dr. Walter Russell may not be a
pill much easier for science to swallow in the 1990s than it was
in the 1930s.
This is not hard to understand. For one thing, in the eyes
of most scientists Russell always remained an artist -- a
non-scientist. Moreover, his work is not merely unconventional:
it overturns many of the cherished tenets of science.
But what makes Russell's work so difficult for mainstream
acceptance is that it spurns all divisions between physics and
metaphysics, and proposes a comprehensive, logical explanation
for God and atomic physics in the same breath. What are
scientists to make of a man who writes:
"What is Atomic Energy? In answering this question let it be
remembered that God is love, and that this universe is founded
upon love. Every action and its reaction in Nature must be in
balance with each other in order to carry out to the purposeful
intent of the Creator.
As we suggested earlier, those involved in macrobiotics may
be best positioned to understand the scope and practicality of
Russell's views, and thus to help break ground where established
scientists hesitate to tread. A pivotal question, then: how has
Russell fared in the macrobiotic world?

Walter Russell and The Macrobiotic Movement
Considering the sheer scope of his vision and his remarkably
practical understanding of the yin/yang principle, Russell would
seem to cry out for macrobiotic attention. In fact, many of his
most radical scientific positions have been echoed by the
macrobiotic science of Georges Ohsawa and Michio Kushi. For
example, Russell contended that matter is not held together by an
attracting force generated from the center of mass, but by
compression generating from the outside toward the center. This
view, one of the Russell statements that flies most abruptly in
the face of accepted scientific tenets (and the one that got Dr.
Jackson's goat in 1930), is echoed precisely in Kushi's
cosmology, where conventional "gravity" is discarded in favor of
centripetal "Heaven's force."
Moreover, the Russells' application of the yin/yang
principal to physical entities, human relationships and the
social order seems extraordinarily direct and simple to grasp,
and as such would seem a valuable complement to the macrobiotic
health/dietetic tradition.
While he did not proselytize any specific dietary regimen,
he was meticulous in his own personal habits. (For example, while
he maintained a prodigious work schedule, he carefully rotated
projects so that his focus changed to a different problem or
medium every two hours -- a rhythm known in macrobiotic circles
as corresponding to the energy cycle of acupuncture meridians.)
To his strict adherence to natural law he credited his legendary
ability to work long hours with ceaseless good humor and without
fatigue -- quintessentially macrobiotic ideals, which he
maintained until his peaceful passing, on his birthday, at the
age of 92.
The following passages from his 1957 Atomic Suicide? shed
some light on Russell's views on diet and health:
"The blood is of first importance of all the elements which
compose the body. The nervous system could be entirely paralyzed
and the body would still function, but the blood has deep
instinctive awareness of its existence, and the body which does
not have a happy, rhythmic blood condition cannot possibly retain
its normalcy.
Even the food one eats should be 'happy.' It should be
cooked with love and eaten joyfully, and there should be a joyful
realization of love in one's deep breathing and exaltation during
the process of taking food into one's body. The food you eat
becomes blood and flesh of your body, and the manner in which you
eat it, and your mental attitude while eating it, decides your
blood count, the balance between acidity and alkalinity of your
digestive machinery, and your entire metabolism. Your Mind is you
and your body is the record of your thoughts and actions. Your
body is what your Mind electrically extends to it for recording."

Curiously, though, his work has elicited little recognition
even from within the nominal macrobiotic movement. This is a
significant loss for a community purporting to be ever on the
lookout for Western cultural and philosophical roots: for Dr.
Walter Russell may well represent the apex of what the West has
to offer in original macrobiotic thought.
Two notable exceptions to this record of macrobiotic neglect
have been the writings of Jerry Canty and the educational efforts
of Dr. Tim Binder. Canty -- a long-time student of the Russells
and himself a bit of a maverick even within the world of
macrobiotics -- has drawn heavily on the Russells' work in his
own books, The Eternal Massage, The Sounding of the Sacred Conch,
and the privately issued Spiral, Lord of Creation. None of them
has really entered the "macrobiotic mainstream" (though The
Eternal Massage enjoyed a fairly wide readership in the 1970s);
they stand today as several of the lesser known but most
challenging and adventurous books in the macrobiotic literature.
Binder, a naturopathic doctor whose client list includes
John Denver and other well-connected environmental advocates, has
studied and championed the Russell teachings along with
macrobiotics, the climate crisis/soil mineralization thesis of
John Hamaker, and other vital fields of perspective. Where Canty
introduced Russell's thinking to a venturesome circle of
macrobiotic students a generation ago, Binder is now emerging as
the Russells' leading contemporary standard-bearer.
Recently appointed president of the Russells' University of
Science and Philosophy in Swannanoa, Virginia, Binder has
undertaken the massive project of reintroducing Russell's
revision of science. Next month (June 2-4), Binder and the
University host an international symposium at Aspen, Colorado,
entitled World Balance, aimed at exposing the core of Russell's
teaching and related perspectives both to the larger scientific
community and to the public at large.
While his own interests naturally lean towards matters of
human health and diet, Dr. Binder has thrown the University's
focus and resources full-force into documenting and publicizing
the possible ozone-radiation link. For Binder recognizes the
irony of the situation: the imperative of the ozone crisis may
provide the opportunity at last for the world to reconsider the
thinking it rejected 60 years ago.

In Pursuit of Evidence
As the centerpiece of this effort, Dr. Binder is
coordinating a thorough scientific effort to test, verify and
document radioactivity's role in ozone depletion. Combining an
exhaustive review of existing literature with new laboratory
experimentation, the project owes its impetus in part to Binder's
frustrated efforts to obtain accurate data from past
observations.
Last year, to explore mainstream views on the possible
radiation-ozone connection, Binder visited the National Oceanic
and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in Boulder, Colorado, where
he spoke with NOAA researcher George Mount. He was told, "Oh,
yes, we know that radiation destroys ozone, but we don't consider
it significant." Pressing further, Binder learned of an earlier
"insignificant" government finding: "during the bomb tests in the
60s [before the ban on atmospheric testing drove the detonations
underground] they found a 2 percent reduction in ozone [emphasis
ours]." Given the current alarm over a global reduction of 1.7
to 3 percent, 2 percent would certainly seem to us to be
"significant."
Binder was told that a review of this data was in process;
when he later tried to obtain this information in print, he
received reports with figures that contradicted Mount's
statements.
[Subsequently, we contacted Sherwood Rowland's office at the
University of California; Sherwood himself was out of the
country, but we spoke with one of his associates about the
possible radiation-ozone connection. Offhand, he didn't see how
radiation would be likely to have this effect, though the
hypothesis apparently had never been suggested to him before.]
Commenting on his investigations, Binder offered this
conclusion: "As the government is now reviewing the old data on
the 60s' testing, it sounds like they are reconsidering the
nuclear connection to ozone destruction, but don't want to tell
[us] about it yet.

Beyond Ozone: The Human Factor
Shortly before her passing in May, 1988, we had the
opportunity to meet Mrs. Russell at her mountaintop home in
Virginia. The moment we met she looked directly at us and said,
"I'm so glad you've come. You know, we really must do something
about this ozone hole. The Doctor and I warned about this in
1954; nobody would listen to us then. Now the situation is
absolutely urgent."
Oddly, despite the dire nature of her subject, there was
nothing dark or gloomy in her words nor in her demeanor. Her
measured statements emerged in a melodious flow that was at once
precise and comfortable; they seemed uplifted by a quiet,
unshakable faith. We sensed a conviction that all events fall
into their natural time and place, with ultimate benefit for the
whole.
Later that day, she addressed the assembled group: "There is
one central answer to all these terrible environmental problems,
and that is a change in the nature of human relationships.Ó It
was impossible not to understand what she meant, and agree.
Thoroughly versed in her husband's cosmology and scientific
perspective, Lao Russell held that technical solutions alone, no
matter how cosmologically conceived, would not bring about the
changes so urgently needed. That change, she taught, would come
about only through the transformation of human beings, that we
might realize our awareness of the infinite Source, the Law of
Balance, and the Divine potential in ourselves and in each other.
In a 1986 message to her students she wrote, "Only the power of
Love put into practice can put an end to all of the violence.
Love will not come into the world until mankind understands Who
and What he is. When he does understand, he will know that when
he destroys another, he is in truth destroying himself."

The modern bull in the stratospheric china shop, whatever
its identity may prove to be, is tearing holes in more than the
ozone and its underlying biological fabric. It has already begun
to clear away a stagnant web of parochial policies and human
priorities. Perhaps it will even have the force to open a gap in
our staunchly entrenched view of the world and our role within
it.
The cloud over the ozone may yet reveal a silver lining. If
it succeeds in prompting a closer look at the heretical
macrobiotic science of Walter Russell, it may open a window to a
two-way universe -- a universe seen in an altogether different
light.

Part2:
[Continued from part 1]

WALTER RUSSEL ARTICLE: SIDEBARS

An Early Warning
August, 1954. "It will not take many years to utterly
destroy the... encircling protective walls which surround this
planet and protect the earth from burning up by the sun's hot
rays," Walter and Lao Russell, Newsletter of the University of
Science and Philosophy.
April 6, 1989. "Scientists reported yesterday that for the
first time they have detected an increase in "biologically
relevant" levels of ultraviolet radiation reaching the ground as
a result of the ozone hole over the Antarctica. This is the first
indication that the depletion of ozone... is beginning to cause
the potentially harmful effect that has long been predicted."
(Washington Post)

A Riddle Wrapped in an Enigma
In a way, the abrupt emergence of Russell's astonishing
hypothesis is in keeping with the peculiar tradition of the
ozone story, a tale rife with riddles and ironies. "One of the
most striking features of the ozone controversy [is] the extent
to which 'outsiders' played a crucial role in identifying the
threats to the ozone layer." (The Ozone War, page 11.)
It was James Lovelock, now famous as the author of the
controversial Gaia Hypothesis, who first found CFCs persisting in
the stratosphere. Making the historic measurement required an
ultra-sensitive device. Unable to obtain any funding for the
research (he was dismissed as a "crank"), Lovelock built the
delicate tool himself, using his family's "grocery money."
Ironically, Lovelock thought the chemicals might serve as
useful "tracers" for atmospheric study, and said they posed "no
conceivable hazard." "I bombed," Lovelock frankly admits. "It
turned out I was sitting on a time bomb." (The Ozone War, page
9.)
Sherry Rowland, who while on a "fishing trip for new ideas"
happened to hear early rumor of Lovelock's measurements at a
conference coffee klatch, was no more a part of mainstream ozone
research than Lovelock. In fact, he was not an atmospheric
scientist at all, but a chemist specializing in, of all things,
the chemistry of radio-isotopes. He and Molina, a young research
assistant fresh from receiving his PhD, never imagined that their
study would plunge them into the eye of a national cyclone of
controversy.
If Russell is right, and manmade nuclear reactions prove to
be at the root of stratospheric ills, then Sherry Rowland's
involvement provides one further irony: prior to his becoming
interested in the fluorocarbon work that led to the ozone
finding, he was funded by the Atomic Energy Commission. His area
of research? -- the chemistry of atoms produced in nuclear
reactions.

Russell the Artist
The story of how Dr. Russell came to sculpt his famous bust
of Edison is an example of his legendary versatility. At the age
of fifty-six, Russell had been an accomplished painter, but had
never handled clay in his life. As President of the Society of
Arts and Sciences, he felt compelled to make good on a commission
for the bust, which a fellow artist had accepted but was unable
to complete. He promptly got some clay and wired Mrs. Edison that
he would go and do it himself -- akin to a great conductor
suddenly picking up the violin for an unrehearsed recital.
"It was a very unwise thing to do, perhaps, because with
such a great man as Edison as my subject, I might not have
survived a failure," he later remarked. "But I never let the
thought of failure enter my mind... The inspired belief that I
should do this thing as a demonstration of my belief in man's
unlimited power made me ignore the difficulties that lay in the
way. So I went to Florida with a mass of clay, but on my way
down, I spent the entire time absorbed in inspirational
meditation with the Universal Source of all inspiration."
The resulting sculpture was to be one of the great mileposts
in his career; other commissions followed immediately, producing
busts of Franklin Roosevelt, General Douglas MacArthur, Thomas
Watson, George Gershwin and Leopold Stokowski, and finally a
twenty-eight figure monument to Mark Twain and the famous "Four
Freedoms.

Russell the Social Reformer
Founded 20 years earlier as an "ethical and moral movement
to bring culture, character and the Brotherhood of Man principle
into world human relations," the New York-based Twilight Club
brought together a network of such luminaries as Ralph Waldo
Emerson, Mark Twain, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Walt Whitman, Edwin
Markham and Alexis Carrell. (Alexis Carrell wrote Man The Unknown
-- a perennial favorite in macrobiotic circles -- during his
association with Russell and the Twilight Club.)
Russell's long collaboration with Thomas Watson, another
Twilight Club member and the founder of IBM, led to the
introduction of moral standards and ethical principles in the
world of business. In his first of many meetings and lectures for
IBM personnel, Russell said he was "shocked" with the "jungle
philosophy of every man for himself" that then permeated the
business world, and he effectively replaced the philosophy of
"business is business" with the concept "that equal interchange
of goods and services between buyer and seller is the keynote of
tomorrow's business world." (The Man Who Tapped the Secrets of
the Universe, p. 24-25.)
During the Depression years when so many businesses failed,
IBM continued to thrive. When asked the secret of their success,
Watson replied, "Go talk with Walter Russell."
Abandoned during the WWII years, the Twilight Club was later
revived as the University of Science and Philosophy at Swannanoa,
Virginia. After Russell's passing in 1963, his work was carried
on at Swannanoa by Lao Russell, his co-equal partner in work as
in marriage.

A Living and Dying Universe
Walter Russell often asserted that God's universe "is a
two-way, not one-way universe." The death force or "winding
down" principle is familiar to us as the force of entropy, the
famed Second Law of Thermodynamics. The Law of Entropy states
that all systems gradually lose energy (that is, energy becomes
less organized and therefore unavailable to perform work) through
dispersal of heat; hence, the universe is destined to die a "heat
death."
Russell disagreed, and detailed the mechanics of an
opposite, balancing force -- the life-organizing force, which he
also termed "generoactive." This force is the answer to the
riddle of Newton's apple, to which Russell alludes in his 1930s
Times letter. (Years later, Buckminster Fuller coined the term
"syntropy" to describe entropy's complement.)
Russell also
likened these twin forces to the charging and discharging of a
battery
, or the winding and unwinding of a spring.
How rapidly or gradually a system unwinds after reaching
maturity depends on a variety of factors, principally its degree
of balance within its local environment. Thus the relaxation and
dissolution of life may occur as slow fermentation, decay, a
burst of flame or an explosion.
"We do not say that a decaying tree, which takes fifty years
to go back into the ground, is exploding. If you burn it,
however, the flame is a series of quick explosions which will do
in two hours what Nature intended should take fifty years."
(Atomic Suicide?, page 23.)
Central to Russell's scientific conclusions is this
observation: the state of rest, the source from which all life
arises and to which it ultimately returns, is the "normal" state
(to which Russell often refers as God, Mind or Magnetic zero.)
In other words, it takes increasing effort to "wind up" into
greater density (to live), while it takes literally no effort at
all, once a system reaches maximum compression, to unwind again
-- to die. Most significantly, the force of the unwinding/death
phase is proportionate to the total effort expended in winding up
to that point.
For example, it may take many years of consuming steak and
ice cream, perhaps along with exposure to chemical contaminants,
to reach the condition disposing one to bowel cancer. The effort
expended by the individual, the food industry, the chemical
factories and even the cattle involved, are considerable; at the
point of maximum compression (when the body cannot hold itself
together any tighter) that mass of effort reverts into a
forceful, effortless unwinding. What goes in, must come back out.
To arrest the course of the disease at this point requires a
tremendous, renewed exertion of compression and life effort,
commonly observed as the "will to live" factor or, in macrobiotic
thought, as the capacity to self-reflect and change one's
personal habits.
In the case of human illness and dying, such a reversal
through renewed compression is often possible, just as it is
possible to arrest the burning of a tree with cold water, or to
slow fermentation with salt. It is not so easy to halt the
unwinding process of gunpowder, an electrical short-circuit --
or the decay of radioactivity.

The Spiral of Elements
As in the life of his contemporary Georges Ohsawa, the
modern founder of the macrobiotic movement, Russell was absorbed
in his later years with both the cosmic meaning and the immediate
dangers of atomic science. Also like his Oriental counterpart,
Russell vividly and brilliantly expressed his grasp of universal
dynamics in a spiral chart of the elements.
Russell's atomic charts placed all the atoms as points along
a continuous spectrum of increasing compression, much like the
notes of an ascending musical scale
. The musical simile is not
casual: Russell's atomic scale is harmonically organized in
octaves
, with the inert gases (helium, neon, argon etc.) acting
as the "keynote" of each octave. (Not surprisingly, Dr. Russell
was also an accomplished composer.)
Russell held that the hydrogen octave, far from being the
beginning of the atomic scale, was in fact preceded by three
"inaudible" atomic octaves, yielding a full spectrum of nine
octaves. These first three octaves, involving wavelengths too
vast to measure, would be beyond the threshold of physical
sensing (that is, beyond detection by normal instruments of
science). It was the lack of this knowledge, Russell contended,
and the misconception of hydrogen as the first element that
forced scientists to view deuterium and tritium (which he had
originally called Ethlogen and Bebegen -- now well-known as
components of the "heavy water" used in today's nuclear
reactions) as isotopes of hydrogen instead of true tonal elements
in their own right. ( "Isotopes" might be compared to the
"accidentals" -- sharps and flats -- of single musical notes.
)
On the other hand, he asserted, that many of the higher octave
"elements" in fact are but isotopes of higher-octave versions of
carbon
.
Carbon, lying in the center of the fourth octave, is held to
be the balance point of perfect stability and the mature
expression of the entire spectrum, and as such serves as the
basis for organic life. Russell pointed out that roughly 98
percent of organic life forms are composed of carbon and four
other elements (hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen and silicon) which all
are grouped together with carbon in the fourth octave (except
silicon, a transmutation of carbon in the next octave up, which
forms the basis of the Earth's crust and of soil). In a sense,
the "purpose" of the entire atomic spectrum is to create carbon
life forms.
The further one compresses past carbon, the more readily
will the pressure and heat of compression explode into decay.
The supercompressed elements of the 7th, 8th and especially 9th
octaves (radium, plutonium, etc.) are simmering at the breaking
point -- hence the tremendously explosive pressures of the
radioactive metals.

Encountering the Russells
On a quiet afternoon in 1979, I sat in a coffee shop
preparing my Kushi Institute lecture for that evening. As I
sipped my coffee -- I was allowed to, after all, I was a teacher
-- I was interrupted by two friends, both "senior" teachers.
(This particular coffee shop served as a hangout and meeting
place for macrobiotic teachers.) They joined me and began
discussing the usual topic of the day: How to get everyone else
to eat macrobiotically so as to establish one peaceful world.
One of the seniors noticed my recently acquired book, Dr. Walter
Russell's The Secret of Light, lying on the table beside me; and
they asked me who Dr. Russell was and what the book was about.
After the first few sentences of my reply, they both proceeded to
criticize both the book and its author for a good half hour.
In the Boston macrobiotic community where I lived at that
time, I soon learned, to mention the Russells and their work was
like admitting that you did not understand the unique principle
of macrobiotics. The philosophical and scientific works of the
Russells were (and perhaps still are) considered unclear,
confusing and impractical. I, like my fellow students and
teachers, certainly did not want confusing or "foreign"
philosophical ideas to disrupt our established belief system
concerning the nature of macrobiotics. As far as we were
concerned, the macrobiotic truth existed here, and only here, in
our little community. The sun flag was raised high, and I was
dedicated, loyal, stubborn and very confused. So, I laid the
Russells' work aside, along with all else that did not fit into
my small world of dogma.
Several years later, being a little older, not necessarily a
little wiser, but a whole lot more curious and frustrated with
apparent inconsistencies and impracticalities in my own
understanding of macrobiotics, I secretly began to explore the
works of Dr. and Mrs. Russell. At first I became more confused
and found myself resisting, especially when I read such bold
statements as, "Opposites do not attract," or "Like attracts
like." Wait a minute, I thought. Maybe my macrobiotic friends
were right about Russell -- there do seem to be inconsistencies
here. I soon discovered that the inconsistencies I was
encountering were not in their works, but in the limitations of
my own prior understanding. Gradually a new comprehension began
to open up.
Their words penetrated deep into my soul. They were honest
words, words of wisdom, of love, and they were steeped in the
unifying principle of macrobiotics. Their expression was
extremely clear and to the point. The message was practical and
not at all confusing. There was nothing there to instill guilt or
fear.
They spoke of the difference between knowing and thinking,
and how we all know all there is to know, yet do not always admit
it to ourselves. Dr. Russell was a perfect example of one who
knew. He had very little formal education, and used this to his
advantage. Through inspiration he became an accomplished
scientist, philosopher, artist, sculptor and musician.
They spoke of how we as human beings can reinspire others,
yet can only be inspired by the One. And most of all, for me,
they explained the mechanism and process of the logarithmic
spiral -- the foundation of macrobiotics. The more I absorbed
their understanding, the more it seemed to add to rather than
detract from or conflict with my prior macrobiotic learning.
Through the years that followed I began to incorporate their
understanding of macrobiotics into my own teaching and
counselling, always with the thought that I would meet Mrs.
Russell some day. For the past eight years I traveled throughout
the United States, teaching and encouraging people to study the
Russells' works, and giving out the address of the University of
Science and Philosophy. During this period I had not once
contacted the University to introduce myself. Why? I have no
idea. In 1987 I moved to Charlottesville, Virginia from New York.
Why? I have no idea, other than it seemed to be the proper move
for me. I soon learned that the University of Science and
Philosophy was only a twenty minute drive away.
I called the University and introduced myself, and said I
would like to meet Mrs. Russell; I was given an appointment.
Days later, I drove out to Swannanoa with John Mann, who had
recently relocated Solstice from upstate New York to
Charlottesville. [Editor's Note: Why had we abruptly relocated?
We had no idea.] Arriving at the requested time, I introduced
myself to the staff and they said they would inform Mrs. Russell
that I was there. I stood among a group of approximately twenty
other visitors and watched as the most elegant lady I have ever
met began to descend the carpeted stairs.
We had never met, yet she recognized me in the crowd
immediately, and invited me upstairs. As we sat, she proceeded to
tell me my life story in detail, from the beginning to the
present. She spoke as if she knew me when I was a child. She did!
And that wasn't all she knew -- for she, too, was a living
example of her and her late husband's philosophy.
We spoke for a few hours on many subjects. She told humorous
stories about Dr. Russell and herself as if he were still alive.
"He is!" she said, "You can never die!" She spoke with a simple,
quiet conviction that was utterly disarming, and I felt as if I
were in the presence of honesty incarnate. Meeting Mrs. Russell
was an experience I will cherish forever.

-- Steve Gagna

Editor's Note: Mrs. Russell was a perceptive person. Early
in our conversation, she looked straight at us again and said,
"This started in 1954." She was referring to the '54 University
Newsletter, no doubt; but she spoke so emphatically, Steve and I
could not help glancing at each other -- could she have known
that we were both born in 1954? She smiled. Later, she abruptly
turned to us and nonchalantly commented, "You know, Dr. Russell
never smoked cigarettes or drank coffee." Bingo, I thought.

PROJECT ARGUS: UNITED STATES NUCLEAR DETONATIONS IN SPACE

Around 1958, the significant implications of the Earth's magnetic
fields and radiation belts for future military activities were
what drew the attention of government physicists. Nicholas
Christofilos, a physicist working at the University of
California's Livermore Radiation Laboratory, developed
techniques to harness and control the energy released in hydrogen
fusion reactions. Christofilos used magnetic confinement fields.
When the Soviets launched Sputnik I, Christofilos decided that
the earth's magnetic field could be used to contain an
artificial band of relativistic electrons. He speculated that
this artificial radiation belt could be made intense enough to
destroy satellites in orbit. The belt would produce worldwide
radio noise on the HF and VHF radio bands that carried the bulk
of military communications. By accurately calculating the site
for an explosion of a nuclear device, it's effects could be made
to occur over a specific target area. Christofilos urged that
the government test his postulates by exploding a nuclear device
in space. Christofilos superiors at Livermore placed his papers
under top security control and advised the President's Science
Advisory group of the matter. The resulting program became:

      The Gray Plane, That No One Saw

                                           By Daniel J Towsey

                                                                May 7th, 2007

 

       http://ca.groups.yahoo.com/group/conspiraciesclub/message/365

 

It absolutely amazes me how people can not see the obvious.

Yet it is right in front of their eyes.

 

Everyone is looking for a smoking gun, when, all along it has been staring everyone right in the face.

 

I realized this long ago. So therefore, I feel that it is time again for me to write another `TRUTH Article'.

 

We've all seen it probably hundreds of times.

 

So now that I am going to point out the obvious. You well be able to see it for yourself for the first time.

 

What I am talking about is the second plane to hit the world trade center.

 

Have another look at it. What do you see? It's not my imagination. It is clearly a gray unmarked windowless airplane. Only the military has these.

 

I dare you to show me an airplane with commercial markings and windows.

 

Just the other day here in Canada I caught the end of a special on 911, on television.

 

I do not know what the name of the show was. But that does not matter. What matters is that They played a  zoomed in slow motion shot of the plane as it flew into the wtc, Where you can clearly see that it is a slightly dark gray, very shinny windowless plane. It was a shot from the sunny side, so the plane was very clear to see.

 

What this proves, is that there are plenty of very clear videos of the second plane Available from the corporate media. And they have chosen not to show them.

 

I watched a live video on that day of people's reaction on the ground. These people were saying that it did not look like any commercial aircraft they have ever seen. Some witnesses said that it had a military like emblem in the front.

 

Remember this.

 

In any just court of justice. When a person on the stand gives testimony. If during that testimony it is proven that just one thing they said is shown to be a lie. Then their whole testimony is erased from the record. And the person usually gets charged with perjury. And goes to jail. So this applies to the official story on 911 too.

                         ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

I fear not evil doers; I fear those that do nothing about it.

 

Telling the truth in times of deception is a revolutionary act.

 

We need a truth revolution. Are you going to join it?

 

First you need to start doing your own thinking and doing your own research. Do not trust anything you hear from the corporate media. Pick a topic. Pick a topic that you question. When you have done sufficient research. You can then contribute your knowledge of truth to the pot. Then tell your friends, neighbors or anyone you can.

 

Just understand that this `truth revolution' can not have a leader or a structure. For they well destroy it. If everyone starts spreading the truth their way. The wave of humanity will win.

 

The only weapon against deceit and lies is `truth'. If you value your freedoms, realize that there is no freedom without truth.

 

Liars and deceivers are mentally ill. Only truth will make a person, country, or this planet will again.

Now thats an interesting question. What link would that be? Just go to
the 911 truth websites. If you join my group "conspiraciesclub"
http://ca.groups.yahoo.com/group/conspiraciesclub/  and start your
search there. I have many 911 articles and many links to 911 sites and
videos. But to answer your question. Any video you look at of the plane
crashing into the WTC, well show you a gray windowless plane..no video
can show you anything else. Now don't get involved in those
disinformation videos about pods or flashes. The older original videos
do not show a flash. The ones that do are government disinformation
videos, designed to distract you and undermind the 911 truth movement.
If I wanted to take the time I could find a link. But posting it would
only make it easier for the secret forces to interfere with that video.
You have to understand that there is an active powerful secret
government agency that works on the net to do everything it can to
destroy any information that leads to the truth.Instead of me providing
you with a link. Why don't you answer my challenge and show me a link
to a video that shows a plane with commercial paint job, markings and
windows...

Government, Military Officials Quietly Preparing Emergency Survival Program

Contingencies for nuclear terrorist attack

Government working up plan to prevent chaos in wake of bombing of major city

James Sterngold, Chronicle Staff Writer

Friday, May 11, 2007

As concerns grow that terrorists might attack a major American city with
 a nuclear bomb, a high-level group of government and military officials
 has been quietly preparing an emergency survival program that would
 include the building of bomb shelters, steps to prevent panicked
 evacuations and the possible suspension of some civil liberties.

Many experts say the likelihood of al Qaeda or some other terrorist
 group producing a working nuclear weapon with illicitly obtained
 weapons-grade fuel is not large, but such a strike would be far more
 lethal, frightening and disruptive than the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
 Not only could the numbers killed and wounded be far higher, but the
 explosion could, experts say, ignite widespread fires, shut down most
 transportation, halt much economic activity and cause a possible
 disintegration of government order.

The efforts to prepare a detailed blueprint for survival took a step
 forward last month when senior government and military officials and
 other experts, organized by a joint Stanford-Harvard program called the
 Preventive Defense Project, met behind closed doors in Washington for a
 day-long workshop.

The session, called "The Day After," was premised on the idea that
 efforts focusing on preventing such a strike were no longer enough, and
 that the prospect of a collapse of government order was so great if
 there were an attack that the country needed to begin preparing an
 emergency program.

One of the participants, retired Vice Adm. Roger Rufe, is a senior
 official at the Department of Homeland Security who is currently
 designing the government's nuclear attack response plan.

The organizers of the nonpartisan project, Stanford's William Perry, a
 secretary of defense in the Clinton administration, and Harvard's Ashton
 Carter, a senior Defense Department official during the Clinton years,
 assumed the detonation of a bomb similar in size to the weapon that
 destroyed Hiroshima in World War II.

Such a weapon, with a force of around 10 to 15 kilotons, is small
 compared with most Cold War-era warheads, but is roughly the yield of a
 relatively simple bomb. That would be considerably more powerful and
 lethal than a so-called dirty bomb, which is a conventional explosive
 packed with some dangerous radioactive material that would be dispersed
 by the explosion.

The 41 participants -- including the directors of the country's two
 nuclear weapons laboratories, Homeland Security officials, a number of
 top military commanders and former government officials -- discussed how
 all levels of government ought to respond to protect the country from a
 second nuclear attack, to limit health problems from the radioactive
 fallout and to restore civil order. Comments inside the session were
 confidential, but a number of the participants described their views and
 the ideas exchanged.

A paper the organizers are writing, summarizing their recommendations,
 urges local governments and individuals to build underground bomb
 shelters, much as people did in the early days of the Cold War;
 encourages authorities who survive to prevent evacuation of at least
 some of the areas attacked for three days to avoid roadway paralysis and
 damage from exposure to radioactive fallout; and proposes suspending
 regulations on radiation exposure so that first responders would be able
 to act, even if that caused higher cancer rates.

"The public at large will expect that their government had thought
 through this possibility and to have planned for it," Carter said in an
 interview. "This kind of an event would be unprecedented. We have had
 glimpses of something like this with Hiroshima, and glimpses with 9/11
 and with Katrina. But those are only glimpses."

Perhaps the most sobering issue discussed was the possibility of a
 chaotic, long-term crisis triggered by fears that the attackers might
 have more bombs. Such uncertainty could sow panic nationwide.

"If one bomb goes off, there are likely to be more to follow," Carter
 said. "This fact, that nuclear terrorism will appear as a syndrome
 rather than a single episode, has major consequences." It would, he
 added, require powerful government intervention to force people to do
 something many may resist -- staying put.

Fred Ikle, a former Defense Department official in the Reagan
 administration who authored a book last year urging attack preparation,
 "Annihilation from Within," said that the government should plan how it
 could restrict civil liberties and enforce a sort of martial law in the
 aftermath of a nuclear attack, but also have guidelines for how those
 liberties could be restored later.

That prospect underscored a central divide among participants at the
 recent meeting, several said.

Some participants argued that the federal government needs to educate
 first responders and other officials as quickly as possible on how to
 act even if transportation and communication systems break down, as
 seems likely, and if the government is unable to issue orders.

"There was a clear consensus that a nuclear bomb detonated in the United
 States or a friendly country would be an earth-shaking event, and we
 need to know how we will respond beforehand," said Ikle. "I wish we had
 started earlier, because this kind of planning can make an important
 difference."

But others said the meeting made it clear that the results of any attack
 would be so devastating and the turmoil so difficult to control, if not
 impossible, that the lesson should have been that the U.S. government
 needs to place a far greater emphasis on prevention.

"Your cities would empty and people would completely lose confidence in
 the ability of the government to protect them," said Steve Fetter, dean
 of the School of Public Policy at the University of Maryland. "You'd
 have nothing that resembles our current social order. I'm not sure any
 preparation can be sufficient to deal with that."

Fetter added, "We have to hold current policymakers more responsible"
 for taking all out measures to prevent a nuclear attack.

Raymond Jeanloz, a nuclear weapons expert at UC Berkeley and a
 government adviser on nuclear issues, said that California might be
 better prepared than most states because of long-standing plans for
 dealing with earthquakes and other natural disasters. Those plans, he
 said, could be a useful model for first responders.

He added, as others did, that the dislocation and panic caused by a
 nuclear strike could make any responses unpredictable.

"The most difficult thing is the fear that this kind of planning, even
 talking about it, can cause," Jeanloz said.

Michael May, a former director of the Lawrence Livermore National
 Laboratory, defended the survival planning, saying that people should
 get used to the idea that such a crisis, while dire, could be managed --
 a key step in restoring calm.

"You have to demystify the nuclear issue," said May, who now teaches at
 Stanford's Center for International Security and Cooperation. "By
 talking about this, you take away the feeling of helplessness."

War Is Not Lost, Lieberman Says, Unless Democrat Plan Is Followed
By SENATOR JOE LIEBERMAN | Posted Friday, April 27, 2007 4:30 PM PT

Sen. Joe Lieberman, former Democrat and now Independent from Connecticut,
addressed the Iraq withdrawal provision in the supplemental appropriations bill
on the floor of the U.S. Senate on Thursday. Below is the speech as prepared for
delivery.

Mr. President, the supplemental appropriations bill we are debating today
contains language that would have Congress take control of the direction of our
military strategy in Iraq.
Earlier this week Senate Majority Leader (Harry Reid) spoke at the Woodrow
Wilson Center and laid out the case for why he believes we must do this — why
the bill now before this chamber, in his view, offers a viable alternative
strategy for Iraq.

I have great respect for my friend from Nevada. I believe he has offered this
proposal in good faith, and therefore want to take it up in good faith, and
examine its arguments and ideas carefully and in depth, for this is a very
serious discussion for our country.

In his speech, the Majority Leader described the several steps that this new
strategy for Iraq would entail. Its first step, he said, is to "transition the
U.S. mission away from policing a civil war — to training and equipping Iraqi
security forces, protecting U.S. forces, and conducting targeted counter-terror
operations."

I ask my colleagues to take a step back for a moment and consider this plan.
When we say that U.S. troops shouldn't be "policing a civil war," that their
operations should be restricted to this narrow list of missions, what does this
actually mean?

To begin with, it means that our troops will not be allowed to protect the Iraqi
people from the insurgents and militias who are trying to terrorize and kill
them. Instead of restoring basic security, which Gen. Petraeus has argued should
be the central focus of any counterinsurgency campaign, it means our soldiers
would instead be ordered, by force of this proposed law, not to stop the
sectarian violence happening all around them — no matter how vicious or
horrific.

In short, it means telling our troops to deliberately and consciously turn their
backs on ethnic cleansing, to turn their backs on the slaughter of innocent
civilians — men, women and children singled out and killed on the basis of their
religion alone. It means turning our backs on the policies that led us to
intervene in the civil war in Yugoslavia in the 1990s, the principles that today
lead many of us to call for intervention in Darfur.

This makes no moral sense at all. It also makes no strategic or military sense.

Al-Qaida's own leaders have repeatedly said that one of the ways they intend to
achieve victory in Iraq is to provoke civil war. They are trying to kill as many
people as possible today, precisely in the hope of igniting sectarian violence,
because they know that this is their best way to collapse Iraq's political
center, overthrow Iraq's elected government, radicalize its population and
create a failed state in the heart of the Middle East that they can use as a
base.

That is why al-Qaida blew up the Golden Mosque in Samarra last year. And that is
why we are seeing mass casualty suicide bombings by al-Qaida in Baghdad now.

The sectarian violence the Majority Leader says he wants to order American
troops to stop policing, in other words, is the same sectarian violence that
al-Qaida hopes to ride to victory. The suggestion that we can draw a bright
legislative line between stopping terrorists in Iraq and stopping civil war in
Iraq flies in the face of this reality.

I do not know how to say it more plainly: It is al-Qaida that is trying to cause
a full-fledged civil war in Iraq.

The Majority Leader said he believes U.S. troops will still be able to conduct
"targeted counter-terror operations" under his plan. Even if we stop trying to
protect civilians in Iraq, in other words, we can still go after the bad guys.

But again, how would this translate into military reality on the ground? How
would we find these terrorists, who do not gather on conventional military bases
or fight in conventional formations? By definition, targeted counterterrorism
requires our forces to know where, when, and against whom to strike — and that
in turn requires accurate, actionable, real-time intelligence.

This is the kind of intelligence that can only come from ordinary Iraqis, the
sea of people among whom the terrorists hide. And that requires interacting with
the Iraqi people on a close, personal, daily basis. It requires winning
individual Iraqis to our side, gaining their trust, convincing them they can
count on us to keep them safe from the terrorists if they share valuable
information about them. This is no great secret. This is at the heart of the new
strategy that Gen. Petraeus and his troops are carrying out.

And yet, if we pass this legislation, according to the Majority Leader, U.S.
forces will no longer be permitted to patrol Iraq's neighborhoods or protect
Iraqi civilians. They won't, in his words, be "interjecting themselves between
warring factions" or "trying to sort friend from foe."

Therefore, I ask the supporters of this legislation: How, exactly, are U.S.
forces to gather intelligence about where, when and against whom to strike,
after you have ordered them walled off from the Iraqi population? How, exactly,
are U.S. forces to carry out targeted counter-terror operations, after you have
ordered them cut off from the very source of intelligence that drives these
operations?

This is precisely why the congressional micromanagement of life-and-death
decisions about how, where and when our troops can fight is such a bad idea,
especially on a complex and changing battlefield.

In sum, you can't have it both ways. You can't withdraw combat troops from Iraq
and still fight al-Qaida there. If you believe there is no hope of winning in
Iraq, or that the costs of victory there are not worth it, then you should be
for complete withdrawal as soon as possible.

There is another irony here as well.

For most of the past four years, under Defense Secretary Rumsfeld, the U.S. did
not try to establish basic security in Iraq. Rather than deploying enough troops
to protect the Iraqi people, the focus of our military has been on training and
equipping Iraqi forces, protecting our own forces, and conducting targeted
sweeps and raids — in other words, the same missions proposed by the proponents
of the legislation before us.

That strategy failed — and we know why it failed. It failed because we didn't
have enough troops to ensure security, which in turn created an opening for
al-Qaida and its allies to exploit. They stepped into this security vacuum and,
through horrific violence, created a climate of fear and insecurity in which
political and economic progress became impossible.
For years, many members of Congress recognized this. We talked about this. We
called for more troops, and a new strategy — and a new secretary of defense. And
yet, now, just as President Bush has come around — just as he has recognized the
mistakes his administration has made, and the need to focus on basic security in
Iraq, and to install a new secretary of defense and a new commander in Iraq —
now his critics in Congress have changed their minds and decided that the old,
failed strategy wasn't so bad after all.
What is going on here? What has changed so that the strategy that we criticized
and rejected in 2006 suddenly makes sense in '07?

The second element in the plan outlined by the Majority Leader is "the phased
redeployment of our troops no later than Oct. 1, 2007." Let us be absolutely
clear what this means. This legislation would impose a binding deadline for U.S.
troops to begin retreating from Iraq. This withdrawal would happen regardless of
conditions on the ground, regardless of the recommendations of General Petraeus,
in short regardless of reality on October 1, 2007.
As far as I can tell, none of the supporters of withdrawal have attempted to
explain why Oct. 1 is the magic date—what strategic or military significance
this holds. Why not Sept. 1? Or Jan. 1? This is a date as arbitrary as it is
inflexible—a deadline for defeat.

How do proponents of this deadline defend it? On Monday, Sen. Reid gave several
reasons. First, he said, a date for withdrawal puts "pressure on the Iraqis to
make the desperately needed political compromises." But will it? According to
the legislation now before us, the withdrawal will happen regardless of what the
Iraqi government does.

How, then, if you are an Iraqi government official, does this give you any
incentive to make the right choices? On the contrary, there is compelling reason
to think a legislatively directed withdrawal of American troops will have
exactly the opposite effect than its Senate sponsors intend.

This, in fact, is exactly what the most recent National Intelligence Estimate on
Iraq predicted. A withdrawal of U.S. troops in the months ahead, it said, would
"almost certainly lead to a significant increase in the scale and scope of
sectarian conflict, intensify Sunni resistance, and have adverse effects on
national reconciliation."

Second, the Majority Leader said that withdrawing our troops will "reduce the
specter of the U.S. occupation which gives fuel to the insurgency." My
colleague, in other words, is suggesting the insurgency is being provoked by the
very presence of American troops. By diminishing that presence, then, he
believes the insurgency will diminish.

But I ask my colleagues—where is the evidence to support this theory? Since
2003, and before Gen. Petraeus took command, U.S. forces were ordered on several
occasions to pull back from Iraqi cities and regions, including Mosul, Fallujah,
Tel'Afar and Baghdad. And what happened in these places? Did they stabilize when
American troops left? Did the insurgency go away?

On the contrary — in each of these places where U.S. forces pulled back,
al-Qaida rushed in. Rather than becoming islands of peace, they became safe
havens for terrorists, islands of fear and violence.

So I ask advocates of withdrawal: On what evidence, on what data, have you
concluded that pulling U.S. troops out will weaken the insurgency, when every
single experience we have had since 2003 suggests that this legislation will
strengthen it?

Consider the words of Sheikh Abdul Sattar, one of the leading Sunni tribal
leaders in Anbar province who is now fighting on our side against al-Qaida. This
is what he told the New York Times when asked last month what would happen if
U.S. troops withdraw. "In my personal opinion, and in the opinion of most of the
wise men of Anbar," he said, "if the American forces leave right now, there will
be civil war and the area will fall into total chaos."

This is a man whose father was killed by al-Qaida, who is risking his life every
day to work with us — a man who was described by one Army officer as "the most
effective local leader in Ramadi I believe the coalition has worked with in
Anbar (since) 2003."

The Majority Leader observed that there is "a large and growing population of
millions — who sit precariously on the fence. They will either condemn or
contribute to terrorism in the years ahead. We must convince them of the
goodness of America and Americans. We must win them over."

On this, I completely agree with my friend from Nevada. My question to him,
however, and to the supporters of this legislation, is this: How does the
strategy you propose in this bill possibly help win over this population of
millions in Iraq, who sit precariously on the fence?
What message, I ask, does this legislation announce to those people in Iraq? How
will they respond when we tell them that we will no longer make any effort to
protect them against insurgents and death squads? How will they respond when we
declare that we will be withdrawing our forces—regardless of whether they make
progress in the next six months towards political reconciliation? Where will
their hopes for a better life be when we withdraw the troops that are the
necessary precondition for the security and stability they yearn for?
Do my friends really believe that this is the way to convince Iraqis, and the
world, of the goodness of America and Americans? Does anyone in this chamber
really believe that, by announcing a date certain for withdrawal, we will
empower Iraqi moderates, or enable Iraq's reconstruction, or open more schools
for their children, or more hospitals for their families, or freedom for
everyone?

Mr. President, with all due respect, this is fantasy.

The third step the Majority Leader proposes is to impose "tangible, measurable,
and achievable benchmarks on the Iraqi government." I am all for such
benchmarks. In fact, Senator McCain and I were among the first to propose
legislation to apply such benchmarks on the Iraqi government. But I don't see
how this plan will encourage Iraqis to meet these or any other benchmarks, given
its ironclad commitment to abandon them — regardless of how they behave.

We should of course be making every effort to encourage reconciliation in Iraq
and the development of a decent political order that Sunnis, Shiites and Kurds
can agree on. But even if today that political solution was found, we cannot
rationally think that our terrorist enemies like al-Qaida in Iraq will simply
vanish.

Al-Qaida is not mass-murdering civilians on the streets of Baghdad because it
wants a more equitable distribution of oil revenues. Its aim in Iraq is not to
get a seat at the political table. It wants to blow up the table — along with
everyone seated at it. Al-Qaida wants to destroy any prospect for democracy in
Iraq, and it will not be negotiated or reasoned out of existence. It must be
fought and defeated through force of arms. And there can be no withdrawal, no
redeployment from this reality.

The fourth step that the Majority Leader proposed is a "diplomatic, economic,
and political offensive starting with a regional conference working toward a
long-term framework for stability in the region."

I understand why we are tempted by these ideas. All of us are aware of the
justified frustration, fatigue, and disappointment of the American people. And
all of us would like to believe that there is a quick and easy solution to the
challenges we face in Iraq.
But none of this gives us an excuse to paper over hard truths. We delude
ourselves if we think we can wave a legislative wand and suddenly our troops in
the field will be able to distinguish between al-Qaida terrorism and sectarian
violence, or that Iraqis will suddenly settle their political differences
because our troops are leaving, or that sweet reason alone will suddenly
convince Iran and Syria to stop destabilizing Iraq.

Mr. President, what we need now is a sober assessment of the progress we have
made and a recognition of the challenges we face. There are still many
uncertainties before us, many complexities. Barely half of the new troops that
Gen. Petraeus has requested have even arrived in Iraq, and it will still be
months before we will know just how effective his new strategy is.

In following Gen. Petraeus' path, there is no guarantee of success — but there
is hope, and a new plan, for success.

The plan embedded in this legislation, on the other hand, contains no such hope.
It is a strategy of catchphrases and bromides, rather than military realities in
Iraq. It does not learn from the many mistakes we have made in Iraq. Rather, it
promises to repeat them.
Let me be absolutely clear: In my opinion, Iraq is not yet lost — but if we
follow this plan, it will be.

And so, I fear, much of our hope for stability in the Middle East and security
from terrorism here at home.

Sources: Senate GOP on Verge of Amnesty Deal

Washington--

Conservatives growing uneasy about Kennedy-led negotiations

By Bluey Posted in | Comments (8) / Email this page » / Leave a comment »

Sources on Capitol Hill tell me the Senate may be very close to a deal on comprehensive immigration reform.
But as the immigration deal comes together, Senate conservatives are growing uneasy about the state of the negotiations, fearing that Republican leadership will sell out to the Bush Administration and liberal Democrats to give amnesty to illegal aliens.
The issue boils down to whether Senate Republicans leaders, including Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) and Conference Chairman Jon Kyl (Ariz.), will give Democrats a free pass to bring up the bill without ever giving Republicans a chance to review it. Sen. Teddy Kennedy (D.-Mass.) is leading negotiations for the Democrats, and has so far negotiated a favorable deal for Democrats, according to sources close to the negotiations.
The Senate on Wednesday will be voting on a motion to proceed to last year’s Senate-passed immigration bill. A motion to proceed is a procedural step to start debating the legislation. It would allow leadership to present a bill to the Senate with no time for senators to actually read the legislation.
“There is concern among conservatives on the Hill that leadership will cave in on the motion to proceed on a bill that they’ve never seen,” one senior Senate aide told me. “Conservatives don’t want to do this because they don’t trust that the negotiators will produce a bill that will be satisfactory to conservatives.”
Read on ...
Last month, 15 conservative Republicans sent a letter to Majority Leader Harry Reid (D.-Nev.) asking for at least a week before debate to review the legislation. Last year’s bill was more than 600 pages long and very complicated.
“It is unconscionable that with an issue of this magnitude and complexity that the Senate would proceed to legislation without any text available to review by senators,” another senior Senate source said.
Just last week, former Attorney General Ed Meese and Senators Jim DeMint (R.-S.C.) and Jeff Sessions (R.-Ala.) unveiled the essential principles for immigration reform. One of those principles is respect for the rule of law, which conservatives fear will be violated by any potential agreement that includes amnesty.
“It’s unlikely that any deal will be cut that will satisfy conservatives,” said Brian Darling, a congressional analyst at the Heritage Foundation. “Any legislation containing ‘Z’ visas is a non-starter because a ‘Z’ visa is an amnesty visa.”
