There are more people who believe in "conspiracy theories" than you may think. Question everything you're told. If it doesn't make sense, then something is wrong. Do some research and investigate!
Ray McGovern, a 27-year career CIA analyst, wrote Collin Powell a letter asking Powell, "What Did You Know ... and When?" ...to come clean on what he knew about the behind the scenes intelligence reports from Naji Sabri and Tahir Jalil Habbush. ...info about Iraq's lack of WMD's that Powell omitted from his U.N. speech to push for the justification for the illegal invasion and occupation of Iraq.
Ray McGovern wrote:
"Most important, each independently affirmed that there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, information that should have prevented you from making a fool of yourself before the U.N. Security Council."
Ray McGovern, during his 27-year career in CIA's analysis ranks chaired National Intelligence Estimates and briefed the President's Daily Brief to the most senior national security officials.
The White House had concocted a fake letter from Habbush to Saddam, backdated to July 1, 2001. It said that 9/11 ringleader Mohamed Atta had actually trained for his mission in Iraq — thus showing, finally that there was an operational link between Saddam and al Qaeda… The letter also mentioned suspicious shipments to Iraq from Niger set up with al Qaeda’s assistance. The idea was to take the letter to Habbush and have him transcribe it in his own neat handwriting on a piece of Iraqi government stationery, to make it look legitimate. CIA would then take the finished product to Baghdad and have someone release it to the media.
In July 1989 an American navy ship, the USS Vincennes, shot down an Iranian civilian plane, killing all 290 passengers and the crew in hopes of provoking Iran for a large scale confrontation. In January 2002, George Bush in his State of the Union speech referred to Iran --as well as N.Korea and Iraq- as part of an "axis of evil," saying the country is actively pursuing weapons of mass destruction. In 2006 US Congress appropriated $75 million to the State Department to use towards "democracy building" in Iran. This is was a turning point for how the US ruling class has finalized its war drive against Iran. Since October 2006, the US has been carrying out a massive military build up in the Persian Gulf. Provocations, Sanctions and military build up are all about a war drive. Without a doubt the US is preparing for a vicious military attack on Iran.
September 3rd was the last time US President George Bush set foot on Iraqi soil, bloodied and wrecked after over 4 years of US occupation. At this time he had a few words to share with the people of Iraq and the world:
"When we begin to draw down troops from Iraq, it will be from a position of strength and success, not from the position of fear and failure."
For the people of Iraq who have endured an estimated 1.2 million deaths (UK-based ORB polling agency), and countless humiliations since the March 2003 military invasion, the idea of ever seeing the US leave seems distant or impossible, let alone from a position of "success" and "strength." The US has a long-term plan for their continued occupation of Iraq and it includes continued death and destruction for the people of Iraq and a rising massive humanitarian crisis.
How the US is turning Iraq into a permanent military base
In a declaration of principles signed by George Bush and Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki on November 26th 2007 the ground work was laid for a long-term agreement on future cooperation between the US and Iraq. In the political, economic and security (military) sphere the US and the installed Iraqi Prime Minister are starting to plan for an "enduring" relationship to last well into the future. The plan will include United States support for the "democratic regime in Iraq against domestic and external dangers," according to Al-Maliki. It also includes plans to protect the US-drafted Iraqi constitution, give preferential treatment to US investments and continued support for a strategic partnership. This is the beginnings of their plans for "enduring" occupation.
Another part of continued US presence in Iraq are the 14 "enduring" (read: permanent) bases whose construction began as soon as the US invaded. These bases are long-term encampments for US forces in Iraq and outposts for military and government policy advisors that will remain in Iraq beyond any troop withdrawal or formal end to the occupation of Iraq.
To compliment US bases and the continued occupation, the US has also built a $740Million Embassy in Iraq, the largest in the world. It will eventually staff an estimated 4,000 regular employees, contractors, local Iraqi employees and visitors. It will also house 619 apartments and 27 separate buildings behind the well-secured walls of the "Green Zone" in Baghdad and serve as the main base for representing US interests in Iraq.
After 4 and a half years of occupation the US has not established anything close to stability or the assurance of a successful US proxy regime in Iraq. They know that after a troop withdrawal there will be an internal struggle in Iraq and that it is very possible that its' outcome will not be in favour of the US. As an insurance plan for all the work they have done to fuel US interests in Iraq, they now have the military bases and US Embassy at their back.
Mercenaries and Continued Occupation
Continued US presence in Iraq would not be possible without the assistance of 120,000 mercenaries in Iraq, the contract employees of military corporations such as Blackwater USA, DynCorp International and Armor Group. According to US "Order 17", issued in 2004, all mercenaries operating in Iraq are exempt from obeying Iraqi law. In this way mercenaries are allowed to operate without rule of law or accountability to anyone, except the corporations that employ them. This has meant numerous tragedies, with the lives and dignities of Iraqi people disappearing under the radar.
After a September 16th shooting in which 17 Iraqi civilians were needlessly killed by a Blackwater guard in a Baghdad square, this provision and the legal loop-hole allowing them to escape charges under US law came under fire from people internationally. As a way to avoid further embarrassment and scrutiny the US government signed a new agreement in December 2007. This agreement means that contract mercenaries are now accountable under US law. Unfortunately, this still does not mean that they will be charged and they are still not held accountable under Iraqi law.
Human Crisis: Daily Life in Iraq
Over the past four years of US-led occupation, the human crisis has deepened in Iraq. Iraqi woman and children have felt the greatest impact from the presence of hundreds of thousands of foreign military troops taking away their basic human rights to housing, food, water, education and a future with guns, bombs and tanks.
According to the Iraq Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs, over 1.6 million children under the age of 12 have become homeless in Iraq. This is almost 70 percent of the 2.2 million homeless and internally displaced persons in Iraq. To make the situation even worse, internally displaced Iraqi's are not finding the infrastructure and basic aid that they need anywhere in Iraq. As one example, the Basra province in Southern Iraq can no longer handle families and children seeking refuge. A senior Iraqi official in the Basra Governing Council, Hassan Abdul-Kareem, explained to IRIN News Service. "We cannot cope with any more families seeking refuge in our province, whatever their reasons. The governorate is seriously affected by the high number of displaced families, health services have deteriorated, schools are overcrowded and we aren't even able to offer a good service to our locals. Things have become worse since the high influx of new arrivals,"
The situation has also deteriorated for girls hoping to attend school in Iraq. Families and mothers are worried about sending their girls to school for fear that they will be raped or killed. They are also needed to stay at home as one-million families are now headed by widows whose husbands have been killed by the occupation and the violence it has created (Aljazeera News: "Debating the US troop 'surge').
The Heavy Costs of the Occupation
Everyday the US spends $280Million towards death and destruction in Iraq. According to the American Friends Services Committee, a US based peace and justice organization, if you include not just the immediate costs of the war, but also ongoing factors such as long-term health care for veterans, interest on debt and replacement of military hardware, that number grows to $720Million a day. The American Friends Services Committee also broke down these numbers into what the money could have bought for social service in the US including: homes for almost 6,500 families or health care for 423,529 children, or could outfit 1.27 million homes with renewable electricity. The US-Congressional report entitled "The Hidden Costs of the Iraq War," stated the cast of the war from 2002 to present as being $1.3Trillion.
Not only does this money mean the destruction of civil society and human life in Iraq, it has also been another part of the deepening economic crisis in the US. This crisis has been marked most recently by the devaluation of the US dollar, the crisis in mortgage and the banking market and the continued growth of poverty in the US. The crisis that the US has created in Iraq is directly tied to the crisis in the US and the disgusting amount of money spent to fuel death and destruction.
Resistance to the occupation: in Iraq and World-wide
For over four years the US has been relying on its' consolidation of the occupation to demoralize the Iraqi people, and the movement of resistance against their continued presence in Iraq. Contrary to their hopes, the number of demonstrations, strikes and attacks on occupying forces has increased drastically as the occupation has continued. The US is now confronted with a deep political, social and military crisis. This is why they need permanent presence in Iraq. This is also why the people of Iraq will keep fighting any way that they can for their land, lives and dignity.
The continued struggle of the Iraqi people against the occupation and the US crisis in Iraq has also meant that its own enlisted fighters, the US military forces, are demoralizing. US Army suicide rates are at a record high of 18.4 per 100,000 active duty soldiers, according to military reports. A CBS News investigation also showed that military veterans aged 20-24, meaning those whom have served during the so-called "War on Terror" in Iraq and Afghanistan, had the highest suicide rate among all veterans, estimated between two and four times higher than civilians the same age. The US cannot fight without a willing army, and suicides rates are only one of the signs that the US is loosing ground with the troops.
If the Iraqi's kick the US out of Iraq it will mean a weakening of the position of the US and Israel that would accelerate the struggle of people all over the Middle East against Imperialism. In this new era of war and occupation which emerged as the "War on Terror" following Sept 11th 2001, we must come together as poor and working people against the occupation of Iraq. As peace and human loving people, we have no other choice but to work to build a united and effective antiwar movement to end this brutal war and echo the demands of the Iraqi people for life and self-determination!
Cause of detainee death was HOMICIDE according to Army CID investigation autopsy!
An autopsy was performed as part of what seems to be part of an Army CID investigation of a detainee. The medical examiner said the cause of death was HOMICIDE!
''This 47-year-old White male, [redacted], died of blunt force injuries and asphyxia. The autopsy disclosed multiple blunt force injuries, including deep contusions of the chest wall, numerous displaced rib fractures, lung contusions, and hemorrhage into the mesentery of the small and large intestine. An examination of the neck structures revealed hemorrhage into the strap muscles and fractures of the thyroid cartilage and hyoid bone. According to the investigative report provided by U.S. Army CID, the decedent was shackled to the top of a doorframe with a gag in his mouth at the time he lost consciousness and became pulseless.
''The severe blunt force injuries, the hanging position, and the obstruction of the oral cavity with a gag contributed to this individual's death. The manner of death is homicide.''
This autopsy report by its self is very disturbing. And on top of that autopsy report, we have George W. Bush admitting he not only knew WHAT WAS GOING ON, but that key administration officials discussed specific torture techniques.
President Bush says he knew his top national security advisers discussed and approved specific details about how high-value al Qaeda suspects would be interrogated by the Central Intelligence Agency, according to an exclusive interview with ABC News Friday.
"Well, we started to connect the dots, in order to protect the American people." Bush told ABC New's White House correspondent Martha Raddatz. "And, yes, I'm aware our national security team met on this issue. And I approved."
What makes me the most angry about this whole mess...
So... The REAL Terrorists attacked on 9/11. George W. Bush used these attacks to ILLEGALLY invade a country that had absolutely nothing to do with the 9/11 attacks. Then George W. Bush captures the people who tried to protect their country from his illegal invasion.
Then... George W. Bush imprisons these INNOCENT people with no charges, no access to an attorney, no Habeas Corpus.
All of this torture, George W. Bush says, is to ''protect'' the American people from the al Qaeda threat that didn't even exist before Bush invaded Iraq!
The Senate plans to take up legislation as early as this week to rein in the Bush Administration's spying powers by reforming the controversial Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). Caroline Fredrickson, director of the Washington Legislative Office of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), says that when Congress rushed through wiretapping legislation this past August, they made a grave mistake.
"The Administration bill basically writes August's mistake in stone," she wrote in a press release Tuesday. "It does nothing to protect Americans' communications and violates the Fourth Amendment requirement that courts supervise any spying on American soil."
"The surveillance program began in February of 2001. It had nothing whatsoever to do with the attacks of 9/11. These phone companies are cooperating with the government, not out of a sense of patriotism, but because they're being paid to do so. They're profiteers, not patriots.
"If the Congress grants these companies retroactive immunity it will mean they have no regard for the rule of law they took an oath to uphold. I've taken no oaths. The rule of law will mean absolutely nothing to me if this comes to pass."
Lawmakers need to stand up for the Constitution and support impeachment
The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors. -- Article II, Section 4
On Nov. 6, Rep. Dennis Kucinich introduced articles of impeachment against Vice President Dick Cheney on the floor of the House of Representatives. For one shining moment the will of the majority of Americans and the promise of this nation's founders were truly represented.
The detailed charges were solemnly read from the House podium and televised on C-Span. House Democratic Leader Steny Hoyer made a motion to table the bill. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi lobbied hard for votes to table.
In a stunning turnaround, House Republicans changed strategy and voted decisively to prevent tabling the impeachment resolution.
Pelosi was defied by 85 Democratic members who voted against tabling the impeachment resolution. This includes John Conyers, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, and six committee members. The resolution was quickly voted back to the Judiciary Committee, where it is not resting quietly.
Judiciary Committee member Bob Wexler wrote, "The American people are served well with a legitimate and thorough impeachment inquiry. I will urge the Judiciary Committee to schedule impeachment hearings immediately and not let this issue languish as it has over the last six months. Only through hearings can we begin to correct the abuses of Dick Cheney and the Bush administration."
Impeachment is squarely on the table, and momentum is building. A year ago, almost no elected official breathed the word impeachment. Now impeachment has hit the House floor, and our electeds have gone on record. Millions of Americans are demanding an end to executive abuse of power.
After six years of state of emergency, the Patriot Act, the Military Commissions Act, continual war and occupations, our Constitution is deeply in crisis. Americans are in danger of losing our system of government and civil rights if they do not roll back the Bush administration's assault on the rule of law.
Allowing Cheney and George W. Bush to finish their terms without being impeached means future presidents are free to copy their lawless behavior. Of course many important issues deserve the attention of Congress. But the Constitution is the foundation of our democracy, not just an issue. Without the Constitution, we have nothing.
Polls show that 74 percent of Democrats and the majority of American adults support impeaching Cheney. "Never in our history have the high crimes and misdemeanors been so flagrant, and the people of our country know it," writes local author Richard Behan.
Kucinich has targeted Cheney first, but investigations will implicate the president as well. For the first time in the history of the Gallup Poll, 50 percent of respondents say they "strongly disapprove" of the president. Richard Nixon had reached the previous high, 48 percent, just before an impeachment inquiry was launched in 1974. With these numbers, why aren't Bush and Cheney gone already?
The vice president is accused of:
purposely manipulating intelligence to fabricate a threat of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction in order to justify an attack on Iraq;
deceiving Congress about an alleged relationship between Iraq and al-Qaida;
threatening aggression against the Republic of Iran, absent any real threat to the United States.
These violations of the Constitution and international treaty are just the tip of the iceberg. More articles of impeachment can be added at any time, and ample evidence to convict is on the public record. Representatives need to introduce articles regarding:
illegal war, in violation of both international treaty and the Constitution;
widespread domestic wiretapping in violation of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, a felony. Bush already has admitted to this;
condoning torture in violation of federal laws and international treaties;
rescinding habeas corpus, the cornerstone of Western law since the Magna Carta;
obstruction of justice regarding U.S. attorney firings;
subversion of the Constitution, abuse of signing statements and rescinding habeas corpus.
It's astounding that our representatives to Congress carry on with business as usual knowing that Americans lack habeas corpus and a working code of law. I want my representative, Dave Reichert, to block the doors of the House until habeas is restored as a basic human right in this nation!
In light of Bush's steady drumbeat for war with Iran, Kucinich said he will consider an impeachment resolution against him.
"Impeachment may well be the only remedy which remains to stop a war of aggression against Iran," he says.
"The most conservative principle of the Founding Fathers was distrust of unchecked power. Centuries of experience substantiated that absolute power corrupts absolutely. The Constitution embraced a separation of powers to keep the legislative, executive and judicial branches in equilibrium," Bruce Fein, a constitutional lawyer and associate deputy attorney general in the Reagan administration, said in the October 2006 edition of Washington Monthly.
If Congress were serious about oversight, there already would be dozens of bills and resolutions calling for impeachment of Bush and Cheney. The "Unitary Executive Theory" violates the principle of balance of power in the Constitution. The president cites this "unitary" power in hundreds of signing statements that say he can ignore laws passed by Congress.
The First, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments are all now subject to the caprice of government officials. The Military Commissions Act allows U.S. citizens to be detained without due process if they are declared enemy combatants. Without our permission, this country has become an exporter of torture.
Congress has failed to provide oversight and exercise its authority to rein in a criminal administration. Only swift action on impeachment can redeem it now. The people have done the heavy work of bringing impeachment forward. Representatives need only ask if the allegations are serious enough to warrant investigations.
George Bush and Dick Cheney promote an imperial presidency. They assert that the executive is the most powerful branch of government, undermining the judiciary and Congress in violation of the Constitution's bedrock principle of shared power among three co-equal branches. This subverts the very nature of our system of government.
"This is an attempt by the president to have the final word on his own constitutional powers, which eliminates the checks and balances that keep the country a democracy. ... That's a big problem because that's essentially a dictatorship," Fein said.
Washington For Impeachment and Citizens to Impeach Bush and Cheney are working to inform the public, collect signatures to petitions, provide forums, and lobby representatives. Washington was the second state to sponsor a bill for impeachment in the state Legislature.
Washington State Democratic organizations have passed resolutions in 11 Democratic legislative districts, five counties and the Washington State Democratic Central Committee. Jay Inslee, D-Bainbridge Island, has received impeachment resolutions from almost every legislative district within his congressional district. When will he represent the will of his constituents and honor his oath to protect the Constitution?
The national movement to impeach is a non-partisan effort to restore the Constitution and the rule of law. People across the political spectrum can unite to preserve the Constitution and civil liberties given to us by the founders. Impeachment is the peaceful, orderly, constitutionally prescribed way to rid ourselves of a lawless administration.
The issue is not about removing Bush and Cheney as much as it is about preserving the Constitution and redeeming the office of the executive. The Constitution is the contract of governance between the people and the government. What happens when major portions of the contract are violated?
Congress has failed to call the president and vice president to account, so citizens must turn up the heat. Members of Congress who fail to demand investigations are covering for criminals. Every elected official has sworn an oath to "support and protect the Constitution from all enemies foreign and domestic." Anything less than impeachment and a full repudiation of the Bush administration's crimes and violations of the law is a dereliction of duty and a betrayal of the public trust.
If we want our democracy back, we need to roll up our sleeves and get to work to clean out the House.
It is common knowledge that a large number of Americans are apathetic about many issues which may harm them. What they don't realize is how they came to be this way and why.
The REAL truth is... people are AFRAID to know the REAL truth!!! They are afraid to take the RED pill!! What they are actually afraid of is TRUTH that challenges their brainwashed concept of reality!!!
I am constantly trying to get people to "wake up" and free their minds. People like to "brush off" any coincidental facts which challenge their belief systems. However, these facts are presented in a way as to make them be seen as conspiracy "theories" when in fact they are very real conspiracies.
For those who have a hard time believing these facts, let me throw this impossible to "brush off" fact at you... but WATCH OUT because this one is going to sting a bit!!! This is just to show you how much the Bush administration REALLY "supports" our troops!
The next time you hear someone tell you how great President George W. Bush is... Just remind them of this! If this were just one incident, it would be coincidental, HOWEVER, this is but one incident out of an inconceivable number that have happened since George W. Bush has been President!
Now that you have one eye cracked open a bit... Why not open it even further by watching the video's listed at the top of this page. Ever heard the saying, "Everything you know is wrong." ...Think about that for a minute... It's not our fault that we are brainwashed.
One reason that we are brainwashed is because Ruppert Murdoch owns half of the media in this country, along with about six other corporations. You can challenge this, but will you? Or are you to apathetic to do anything?
Welcome to the age of mind control. It's been here for a while. Now if only we can realize how brainwashed we really are!
Here are SIX different DOCUMENTED times that a flase-flag attack was either planned or carried out against the American citizens by their own government in order to rally support for an agenda that can only become a reality through a fear campaign. And these are ONLY the ones that we KNOW about!
There is a great deal of skepticism about whether these events could be false-flag operations. So, to start off, I will give SOLID PROOF that, yes indeed, this is factual information. Just keep in mind the impact there would be if "everyday people" knew what really happened with some of these events! Do you think this would have any bearing on why psy-opdisinformation campaigns are used to confuse people and obliterate the truth?
Questions have been raised about whether these events were in fact false-flag operations. However, anyone who studies the evidence can learn the truth.
And, of course, this list would not be complete without including the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. You have probably seen some films about the JFK assassination, but do you REALLY know the REAL truth? Here I present to you something to seriously challenge what you THINK you know about the JFK assassination!
But first, a few words from the conspirator-in-chief himself, Geroge H.W. Bush. Remember, his father DIRECTLY FINANCED Hitler!
You may not now have time to watch all of the following video, but PLEASE come back and watch it! Do it for everything that is dear to you... Knowledge is power! Study these facts. Do some research on your own! LEARN THIS INFORMATION!!!
Once again, I have provided you with information that is meant to challenge your beliefs. Whether you investigate these facts is totally up to you. It is way to easy to "brush off" concepts which challenge your beliefs... doing this, however, is the procrastination which is keeping you from the truth!
Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. --Article III, Section 3, United States Constitution (emphasis added)
The mainstream Democrats -- represented, say, by Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, John Edwards, Joe Biden, and Christopher Dodd -- have not levied war against the United States. Their treason lies instead in committing the second offense: They adhere to enemies of the country, giving them aid and comfort.
The enemies are President George W. Bush and Vice President Richard Cheney. Like no other president and vice president in history, these men attacked their country.
On 16th August, radio talk show host Alex Jones went on air to give what he described as his most important broadcast message.
Throughout the US there has been increased talk in the media of special measures to be implemented in the event of a natural or man made disaster. A KLSA news report from 16 August has the following headline:
"Homeland Security Enlists Clergy to Quell Public Unrest if Martial Law Ever Declared."
Five journalists must identify the government officials who leaked them details about a scientist under scrutiny in the 2001 anthrax attacks, a federal judge said Monday.
U.S. District Judge Reggie B. Walton ordered the reporters to cooperate with Steven J. Hatfill, who accused the Justice Department and FBI of violating the federal Privacy Act by giving the media information about the FBI's investigation of him.
The reporters named in the opinion are Michael Isikoff and Daniel Klaidman of Newsweek, Allan Lengel of The Washington Post, Toni Locy, formerly of USA Today, and James Stewart, formerly of CBS News.
Five people were killed and 17 sickened by anthrax that was mailed to lawmakers on Capitol Hill and members of the news media in New York and Florida just weeks after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
Hatfill, who worked at the Army's infectious diseases laboratory at Fort Detrick, Md., from 1997 to 1999, was publicly identified as "a person of interest" in the investigation by then-Attorney General John Ashcroft.
The video from the emergency meeting that was held in Seattle, Washington on Wednesday, August 1st, will be shown on Seattle's Local Public Access Channel, SCANTV.ORG, ONLY on Thursday, August 9, 2007, at 10:00 pm PACIFIC time on cable channel 77.
If you check the schedule the show will be aired during the time slot labeled "Social Justice Television (Political), Length: 0:58"
If you will read these two articles, you will understand this issue is of the UTMOST IMPORTANCE!
"Once this (latest Bush Executive Order) becomes law, he has all the tools Hitler and Stalin had to keep their respective populations in utter subjection to their will." Read the complete article: 30 days to absolute tyranny ...EVEN LESS TIME NOW!!!
"First they came for the terrorists but I wasn't a terrorist so I stayed silent and went about my business.
Then they came for those suspected of terrorism, but I certainly wasn't a suspect so I stayed silent and went about my business.
Then they came for those who defended those who were suspected of terrorism, but I wasn't defending such people so I stayed silent and went about my business.
Then, one day, they came and began to "suspect" me, so I stayed very, very silent and went about my business.
And that is how I lost my soul."
Here is more information about these issues:
Friday, July 20, 2007 JEFF KOSSEFF The Oregonian Staff WASHINGTON -- Oregonians called Peter DeFazio's office, worried there was a conspiracy buried in the classified portion of a White House plan for operating the government after a terrorist attack. As a member of the U.S. House on the Homeland Security Committee, DeFazio, D-Ore., is permitted to enter a secure "bubbleroom" in the Capitol and examine classified material. So he asked the White House to see the secret documents. On Wednesday, DeFazio got his answer: DENIED. "I just can't believe they're going to deny a member of Congress the right of reviewing how they plan to conduct the government of the United States after a significant terrorist attack," DeFazio says. Homeland Security Committee staffers told his office that the White House initially approved his request, but it was later quashed. DeFazio doesn't know who did it or why. "We're talking about the continuity of the government of the United States of America," DeFazio says. "I would think that would be relevant to any member of Congress, let alone a member of the Homeland Security Committee." Bush administration spokesman Trey Bohn declined to say why DeFazio was denied access: "We do not comment through the press on the process that this access entails. It is important to keep in mind that much of the information related to the continuity of government is highly sensitive." Norm Ornstein, a legal scholar who studies government continuity at the conservative American Enterprise Institute, said he "cannot think of one good reason" to deny access to a member of Congress who serves on the Homeland Security Committee. "I find it inexplicable and probably reflective of the usual, knee-jerk overextension of executive power that we see from this White House," Ornstein said. This is the first time DeFazio has been denied access to documents. DeFazio has asked Homeland Security Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., to help him access the documents. "Maybe the people who think there's a conspiracy out there are right," DeFazio said.

Urge him to do something RIGHT NOW!!!
#2: New Hampshire State Governor John Lynch -- 603-271-2121 Please call Gov. Lynch's office right now! They will likely try to skirt the issue and tell you to call the U.S. Marshall's office. Don't let them off the hook! Tell them that the GOVERNOR is supposed to have the authority over New Hampshire -- not the feds!!! Ed does not live on federal land! Ed is not under federal jurisdiction! Plainfield isn't on federal land, the county isn't, and the state isn't. The feds have no business there. The governor could act to stop it and keep the feds out. As with the sheriff, so far he has not!!! Call and tell them HE ABSOLUTELY MUST EXERCISE HIS AUTHORITY AND STOP THE FEDS.

Impeach now before we can be arrested for saying so. CALL TO ACTION. We need 3 more senators. -------------------
I just found out they have over a block of DHS buildings in Detroit. FBI as well and surrounding the Fed Res.
They had special op storming of homes by three counties working in unision. Then you add the new department the Pentagon is forming for National Security. The Military state isnt being built, its here.
I dont know what we can do...i really dont I wrote FTF, and Samuel was most shocked.
Next false flag might be here. The "Gut feeling" they got was made about an attack while in Detroit, and why were they here? biggest Arabic population outside of Middle East. Canadian border
easy excuse for a false flag terrorist act in Michigan? As well as Conyers and Impeachment.
but point is, they are already in buildings and raiding homes.
I THINK the only thing to do, is IMPEACH. then work from there

It is time for everyone to take a very serious look at life and what life means to you. You must decide, in a very short time, if you value the lives of not only your spouse, your children, relatives, friends and neighbors; but also the lives of other people living in American and around the world that you have never met.
You must also ask yourself if you value the suffrage and loss of life that many, many people before us have sacrificed in order to uphold the Constitution of the United States and to defend our democratic process and values.
What you must decide is if the lives of these people are important enough to make sure that Bush and his followers cannot achieve their dreams of empire. The desires for world domination are unmistakably their motivations.
Leaving very little to the imagination, seeing their plot performed before our very eyes is like reading a poorly written fiction. For they are all around us, so abundant and clear, one must be very naive and ignorant to not see the signs of tyranny encroaching upon every aspect of our lives.
If you value your freedoms to live, work, travel, raise your family and most importantly, to be free without fear; to be able to accomplish your dreams, then it is time to make this decision.
As George W. Bush himself once said, "Every nation, in every region, now has a decision to make. Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists." This too, is what you must decide and you must decide this very soon. But before you decide, lets examine the definitions of a few words from Wiktionary.org.
One who governs by terrorism or intimidation; originally applied to an agent or partisan of the revolutionary tribunal during the Reign of Terror in France.
Anyone who uses terror as a weapon in a political struggle, frequently in an attempt to coerce a more powerful opponent, such as a government.
Allowing large dogs to attack bound, hand-cuffed prisoners is clearly torture.
Any act committed by an official of a government against a prisoner of war which could cause undue pain, as clearly defined by many international agreements.
In every war there are acts of torture that cause the world to shudder.
(mainly literary) The "suffering of the heart" imposed by one on another, as in personal relationships.
"Formerly, the punishment for high treason was of a most barbarous character... Women were burnt. A male traitor was dragged or drawn to the place of execution and hanged; but while still alive, he was cut down and disembowelled. His head was then severed from his body which was quartered. The head and quarters, which were at the Kings disposal, were usually exposed in some conspicuous place -- the Temple Bar being a favourite spot -- after being boiled in salt to prevent putrification and in cumin seed to prevent birds feasting on them." 1952: James Avery Joyce: Justice At Work: (this edition Pan 1957) Page 105.
Providing aid and comfort to the enemy.
Now that we have refreshed our memory with what these terms mean. It is time to think about the decision everyone must make.
After you make your decision, it is then your civil duty to call, write and e-mail your representative to let them know where you stand! Use House.gov to find your representative's addresses. House switchboard: (202) 224-3121 -- TTY: (202) 225-1904
Remember the bullies from grade school? The Bush administration is no different! Stand up for your Constitutional rights! Don't let Bush and his bullies intimidate you! IMPEACH!!! DO IT NOW!!!
Do this not only for the reasons mentioned above, but do it also for your grand children's grandchildren! Do it for the future of our planet!
Your decision to be a responsible American and take action or to display your apathy through inaction will directly effect the lives of generations to come!
We are either going to sink or swim. Which one are YOU going to do?
There are grammatical errors in the above text which remain on purpose to reflect that the author was a product of the American public education system.
And there is a way. We are talking about something on a scale that can really make a huge change in this country and in the world.
We need more than fighting Bush's outrages one at a time, constantly losing ground to the whole onslaught.
We must, and can, aim to create a political situation where the Bush regime's program is repudiated, where Bush himself is driven from office, and where the whole direction he has been taking society is reversed.
We, in our millions, must and can take responsibility to change the course of history.
Acting in this way, we join with and give support and heart to people all over the globe who so urgently need and want this regime to be stopped.
This will not be easy. If we speak the truth, they will try to silence us. If we act, they will to try to stop us. But we speak for the majority, here and around the world, and as we get this going we are going to reach out to the people who have been so badly fooled by Bush and we are NOT going to stop.
History is full of examples where people who had right on their side fought against tremendous odds and were victorious. And it is also full of examples of people passively hoping to wait it out, only to get swallowed up by a horror beyond what they ever imagined.
Need more help to decide? If you don't read all of the references, at least skim through them! There is A LOT of information about what is going on in them!!!
We need more signatures and phones calls folks... Come on. If we can't do this simple thing how are we ever going to change anything about our government... They are just going to keep on doing what they are keeping on doing.... Let's make this happen... We all want this... Democrat, Republican, it doesn't matter... Let's get the warmongering communists out of office!
IF YOU CANT BE THERE CALL!!!!
On July 23rd phone John Conyers at 202-225-5126 or send him a fax with one click.
BE ACTIVE, GET IMPEACHMENT BACK ON THE TABLE Email Palosi here Or call, call, call!!!!! 1-202-225-0100 For high crimes & misdemeanors
''Most revealing of the official nature of the "whitewash" was the fact that the heads of the Senate and House Intelligence Oversight Committee, responsible for the 9-11 investigation, on the actual morning of September 11, 2001, were HAVING BREAKFAST with Lt. General Mahmoud Ahmad, the head of Pakistani Intelligence who HELPED the U.S. and the Saudis to CREATE the Al Qaeda Network. Ahmad was also identified to be responsible for having $100,000 sent to Mohamed Atta, the lead hijacker in the World Trade Center attacks (according to the FBI).'' -- from deceptiondollar.com
QUESTION: Where were the 9/11 hijackers from? Pakistan, Afganistan or Iraq?
Did you happen to catch the part where it says that ''General Mahmoud Ahmad the head of Pakistani Intelligence who helped the U.S. and the SAUDIS to create the Al Qaeda Network'' ???
Shouldn't this have been a KEY EVENT in the investigation of the events surrounding the 9/11/2001 terrorist attacks?!?!?!
Once you get used to spotting propaganda, it gets easier and easier to see. All you have to do is OPEN YOUR EYES!
I'm bringing this up today because, once again, they are banging the drums of war. There is a giant headline on the Drudge Report today ( Sunday, July 15th, 2007 ) which says, "Bin Laden Appears in New al-Qaida Video."
This seems very similar to the video they "found" with the FAKE Osama Bin Laden look-a-like. Remember that video? They had it plastered all over the major news media for weeks!
The guy looked similar to Osama Bin Laden. However, upon close inspection and comparison with other known videos of Osama Bin Laden, even a CAVEMAN can tell it wasn't really Osama Bin Laden!
There is also an article from the Jerusalem Post titled, "Iranian missiles aimed at US base found in Iraq". I'm sorry but, whether this is real or not, when I read anything about this type of thing from an Israel news source the word "PROPAGANDA!!!" just comes screaming into my head because, aside from the US Government, the government of Israel is about the biggest bunch of warmongers there is and the history of these two countries proves it!
The United States has been criticized for trying to shut down North Korea and Iran's nuclear programs while simultaneously supporting the nuclear programs of India and Israel.
Dick Cheney and others have been stating that a nuclear attack on the U.S. is looming, highly probable.
Part of the war-gaming has been to determine how Americans will react through the use of extremely advanced computer modeling using over 2 million computer modeled "people." Most likely modeling the best way to implement MARTIAL LAW in the United States with the least amount of resistance!
Here's part of what Bush's declaration says:
"Catastrophic Emergency" means any incident, regardless of location, that results in extraordinary levels of mass casualties, damage, or disruption severely affecting the U.S. population, infrastructure, environment, economy, or government functions;"
Notice the very last paragraph: (24) Security. This directive and the information contained herein shall be protected from unauthorized disclosure, provided that, except for Annex A, the Annexes attached to this directive are classified and shall be accorded appropriate handling, consistent with applicable Executive Orders.
In other words, there is a lot more to this [that] they are not going to tell us. Oh, you know, things like the locations of the internment camps, and who will be in charge for martial law if there is an attack that takes out Washington D.C. and/or the President.
Pastor "believes a new 9/11 crisis could be the catalyst to merge the U.S., Mexico and Canada."
"The memoirs of Jean Monnet, regarded as the architect of European unity, finally disclosed he had used a strategy of deceit, knowing his plan to form a European Union would never succeed if it were openly disclosed."
