cows died in Hesse, Germany after being fed Syngenta's Bt 176 GE maize; and other cows had to be slaughtered due to mysterious illnesses. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A chief suspect for the death of the cows is the toxic Bt protein contained in the Bt 176 Maize. Syngenta says that the same toxic protein is found in Bt 11-Maize intended for human food. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Studies conducted in Japan in 2003 clearly showed that undigested Bt toxin is present in calf stomach, intestine and dung after being fed Bt 11 maize; and these results have been replicated in further experiments in pigs. This supports the suspiscion that it was the Bt-toxin that killed the cows.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The fact that Syngenta has not withdrawn its Bt-Maize in spite of this indicates a serious lack of responsibility. It indicates that it is dangerous to let the biotech corporations make the safety assessment of their products (as is the practice today, see "Inadequate safety assessment of GE foods") and not independent institutes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Over 50% of newborn rats died within 3 weeks when mothers were fed with GE soya&lt;br /&gt;36% were severely stunted&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More than half the offspring of soya fed rats died in the the first three weeks of life. This was six times as many as with normal diet. Of those who survived, six times many as those eating normal diet, had underweight. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The morphology and biochemical structures of rats are very similar to those of humans, and this makes the results very disturbing" according to the scientists who did the research. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Virus genes from GE foods can end up among your own genes &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Genes (DNA) from the cells, including the meat, of chicken who had eaten only genetically engineered Bt corn contained pieces of DNA from this food. This DNA contains virus genes that are suspected to be cancerogenic or otherwise pathogenic. This means that if you eat GE foods, virus genes that may be harmful, can end up in your cells. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Liver changes from GE food&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Liver changes were found in mice fed on Genetically Engineered Soy Beans.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Ultramicroscopic study revealed significant changes in the cell nucleus.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;This abnormality in the liver cells indicates that GE foods may cause serious disturbances in cellular function that may affect health.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Mass death of Sheep from grazing GE cotton field&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At least 1 820 sheep were reported dead after grazing on post-harvest Bt cotton crops; the symptoms and post-mortem findings strongly suggest they died from severe toxicity. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This was uncovered in a preliminary investigation conducted by civil society organisations in just four villages in India. The actual problem is likely to be much greater. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is the second instance of GE-plants killing animals feeding upon it. In both this case, and that of cows killed as described above, the plants were genetically manipulated with a gene producing the insect toxin of Bacillus Thuringiensis (Bt). &lt;br /&gt;The serious thing about this is that the same toxin-producing gene is found in some GE-foods intended for human consumption, including GE-maize (for example Syngenta Bt11 Maize) and GE-potatoes (recently offered to Russia).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;GE soy may cause long time allergy problems&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The inserted gene in the soy contains an allergenic sequence common to shrimps protein. It is suspected that it may cause persistent allergy problems because it is taken up by intestinal bacteria who can continue producing the allergenic protein. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the UK there was a 50% increase of GE soy allergy after the introduction of Monsantos RR soy. The connection could not be definitely proven, considering the mentioned allergen in RR soy, scientists find it likely that it was the cause. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;GE Maize approved as human food caused negative effects in mice&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The research on NK603 maize from Monsanto was independently assessed by the independent french research institute CRIIGEN. In a report, released in June 2007, they pointed out that there were 60 significant differences between rats that were fed the GE maize and those fed normal maize (all for 90 days). The first group showed differences in their kidney, brain, heart and liver measurements, as well as significant weight differences. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CRIIGEN concludes that the results indicate a negative effect of the maize. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Animals Avoid GE Food&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Experimental and anecdotal evidence shows that animals seek to avoid GE food and do not thrive if forced to consume such food. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In a study, the mortality rate was twice as high among the chickens eating GE maize as compared with those fed commercial non-GE hybrid maize.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An anonymous scientist reported: "Generally, the reports are concerned with Bt maize. Many farmers feed maize to their cattle just as it grows, without mixing in other feedstuffs. Typical reports are that the farmer buys a new shipment of maize, which his cattle either refuse to eat or eat with reduced consumption. Upon making enquiries, he discovers that the maize is a genetically modified variety. When he replaces it with a non-modified maize, the cattle start eating again. There have been dozens of such reports over the last two years."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;GE crops causing agricultural crisis in Argentina&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Argentina has suffered an environmental crisis with 'superweeds' overrunning the countryside and farmers reporting health problems, experts warn.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since 1997, genetically-modified soya has been planted over almost half the country's arable land. Now farmers are having to use more and more herbicides to control the resistant weeds, damaging the soil's fertility for generations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A study, detailed in the respected journal New Scientist, has found that over-use of weedkillers is rendering the soil 'inert' - and directly affecting human health. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;FDA suppressed report on harmful effects of GE food&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The safety of the first GE product intended for human food, the GE-tomato Flavrsavr, was studied very extensively and the result was used as a showcase of the safety of GE food. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of USA stated that the "proven safety of FlavrSavr" demonstrated that GE-foods in general are safe, and decided consequently not to demand as rigorous safety examinations for other GE-foods. In stead a very liberal procedure based on the principle of "substantial equivalence" was established, which did not require any careful testing of toxic or other harmful substances. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This decision was completely unscientific, as it is a well established fact that every case of genetic engineering has unique effects, so it is not justified to draw a general conclusion from a special case. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Moreover, several years later it was discovered that, in one of the "safety showcase" reports, it was found that the GE-tomato Flavrsavr caused lesions in the stomachs of mice. However, this finding was suppressed by FDA. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was also discovered that, prior to FDA's decision to allow GE foods to be used as human food, FDA's own scientific experts expressed serious concerns concerning the safety of GE foods. They warned that genetic engineering is different than traditional breeding techniques and may have different risks. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The liberal safety assessment procedure established by FDA in 1994 has been applied on all GE foods in the market today and it is still applied in spite of extensive and serious critisism from a large number of scientific experts. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Leading Scientist sacked after presidential intervention&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dr Arpad Pusztai, a world renowned nutrition expert, expressed doubts about the safety of GE foods on BBC TV "World In Action broadcast" in August 1998. Because he was a leading expert, this was a great sensation. So Pusztai's critisim was aired all over the world. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But a few days later again, all over the world, the story was aired that he was an old man (68) who had confused his results, making wrong conclusions. This was however a lie. Now it has been revealed that Blair was forced by President Clinton to sack him and to create a suitable excuse to disregard Pusztais opinion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These are only a few selected news items among the increasing number of disquieting facts presented at this website.

The general principle of producing a GMO is to insert DNA that has been taken from another organism and modified in the laboratory into an organism’s genome to produce both new and useful traits or phenotypes. Typically this is done using DNA from certain types of bacteria” (www.wikipedia.com).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some argue that there is more than enough food in the world and that the hunger crisis is caused by problems in food distribution and politics, not production, so people should not be offered food that may carry some degree of risk.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Others oppose genetic engineering on the grounds that genetic modifications might have unforeseen consequences, both in the initially modified organisms and their environments. Activists opposed to genetic engineering say that with current recombinant technology there is no way to ensure that genetically modified organisms will remain under control, and the use of this technology outside secure laboratory environments carries potentially unacceptable risks to both farmed and wild ecosystems. Although some scientists have claimed that selective breeding is a form of genetic engineering, (e.g., maize was modified from teosinte, dogs have evolved with human intervention over the course of tens of thousands of years from wolves), others assert that modern transgenesis-based genetic engineering is capable of delivering changes faster than, and sometimes of different types from, traditional breeding methods.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This problem is espacially acute for the USA. There are a lot agencies and organizations which try to solve this problem. One of the biggest is the FDA (Food and Drug Administration). It is an agency of the United States Department of Health and Human Services and is responsible for regulating food, dietary supplements, drugs, biological medical products, blood products, medical devices, radiation-emitting devices, veterinary products, and cosmetics in the United States. Of course it has several serious achivements in this field but the most important problem is that only less than 1% of imported (in the USA) food is inspected by this agency. Besides, it has no control on some very popular food in the USA. So, FDA’s existence maybe is under a big question. We think that this problem must be solved because our lives depend on this, we eat either poisoned or fresh and pure food depends on this. The FDA and such kind of agencies must cover this uncontroled food. We must be sure that the food that goes from our nation’s ports to our families’ dinner tables is safe.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

is christa hudson. i am a mother, a wife, and an activist. i am ashamed of how the american people seem to be doing nothing about the tyranny staring them in the face. then, it came to me: people are doing nothing because they dont know what to do. so i propose a plan that might help us save america from these criminals. &lt;br /&gt;lets all stay in our respective towns, no matter how small, and go to the courthouse lawn with a single, concise message: "PROSECUTE THESE CRIMINALS". the DA's and the courts are the only ones who can stand up for our country and communities. i would like to do something as follows: walk into the courthouse and ask to speak to judges and the DA. have a large number of people with you, including large numbers of press, with the same message. state,"we all just want to talk. we are all just concerned citizens. we would like you to call for the prosecution of president bush and his cabinet, on our behalf." that is it. nothing more. if every town in america did this, something massive might happen. this is our last hope. we just have to maintain posture (no cussing or outrage), and have ONE message: "PROSECUTE THESE CRIMINALS". thank you for hearing me out. i think this may be the last time we can even try. please take this seriously, and foward to everyone on your mailing lists. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;for &lt;a

2008"&gt;The pre-planned Financial/Economic 911 of 2008&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WHAT: A pre-planned collapse of the US (and global) financial and economic systems. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WHO: The same characters who perpetrated the original 911.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WHERE: New York City &amp; DC, of course. Plus a sideshow in Washington state. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WHEN: The days surrounding September 11, naturally. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;HOW: Instead of painted drones, missiles with wings &amp; big fins, and fake airplanes, they used the much more stealthy short seller.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WHY: To remake the economic/financial order of the world into a “PPP”. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WHY Really: Think about it ! And then ask yourself, “Cui bono?” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The 911 blueprint worked so magically for the world controllers that they were compelled to use virtually the same playbook. “If it ain’t broke, why fix it? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, what’s the real deal here? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By analogy, let’s take a quick look at the 911 timeline and stack it up against the new 2008 Financial “911”, as it began to unfold earlier this year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. The Bear Stearns collapse that began in March 2008 is analogous to the 1st World Trade Center bombing in 1993. Just a warm up. This was preceded by a little failure back in January featuring Countrywide – the largest US mortgage lender. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. The nationalization of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac marks the beginning of the new 911. Both in the DC area, they were the first to come down this time. Just as they struck at the heart of the military complex, this time they went for the jugular of the national real estate market. Remember – this is a financial 911.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Next came this year’s version of the twin towers, building 7 and other assorted NYC landmarks in the form of Lehman Brothers, AIG, Merrill Lynch, as well as Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs in their “new &amp; improved” form. Basically took out the whole of American investment brokerage, heh?! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. And, of course, we still have Washington Mutual out there in the boonies just like the one that “crashed” in a PA farm field. Update: WashMu is now history! As is another “little” bank by the name of Wachovia. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. Their MO! What else, but controlled demolition? Throughout 2008, and especially this month of September, we have seen some of the world’s largest banks, brokerage houses, mortgage lenders, insurance companies and investment brokers go bust, as each of them fell perfectly into their own footprint faster than you can say: CONTROLLED DEMOLITION!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. The 700 billion dollar Bailout Plan is just like the Patriot Act, isn’t it? Only this time it’s maybe a 1 or 2 page document (in its original form) that conferred absolute authority on the Executive Branch to do just about anything they want with the taxpayer’s money. And they want it rubber stamped now. Not tomorrow. NOW!!! Without discussion, or unnecessary congressional debate. Talk about Shock &amp; Awe being used against the American people, and their elected representatives!?! “The Greatest Depression” never sounded more like “Weapons of Mass Destruction”, eh?!?!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. Now we know we can expect further gyrations, panics and precipitous declines in the market and elsewhere, just as we had anthrax attacks in the Capital, beltway snipers in Maryland in October of ’02, the 3/11/04 train bombings in Madrid, and the 7/7/05 bombings in London. Not to mention the 50+ other synthetic terror events staged throughout the world to enforce compliance and create distraction. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8. The sudden and dramatic downfall of NY Gov Eliot Spitzer can also now be seen in its proper light. Having left the reservation one too many times, he simply could not be trusted to go with the flow. He had their numbers, their signatures (especially their MO’s), their addresses --- the whole ball of wax, as well as his own reputation to burnish. Eliot, to seal his fate, wrote a masterful expose on the subprime mortgage fiasco/fraud that was published in the WashPo just weeks before his public humiliation. He had recently testified before Congress in great revelatory fashion as well. The elimination of John O’Neil, Head of Security at the WTC complex, is quite similar, except that John O. – a great patriot – died on 911, having just been given the job. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9. To date, the most obvious and glaring example of this manipulated takedown is the case of a NY Senator. His letter to the FDIC contained confidential information that triggered the IndyMac bank collapse in July. California AG Jerry Brown was called to review the entire affair after the OTS Director explicitly blamed the letter for causing a run on the bank (3rd largest bank failure in US history). This episode is eerily reminiscent of Larry Silverstein’s order to, “Pull it.” just prior to the expertly controlled demolition of Building # 7on 911.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10. Just as 911 was perpetrated as a cover for: inaugurating the War on Terror, overtly advancing the NWO regime globally (in contrast to this previously covert operation), imposing a police state (Homeland Security) in the US (by gutting the US Constitution), UK and elsewhere, dominating and securing oil/gas reserves in the Middle East and Cacaucus (to include running energy pipelines through Afghanistan and stealing Iraq’s oil wealth via military invasion), jump starting the Afghan opium trade, etc., the ECO/FIN 911 of ’08 is a cover for many of these same agenda items. However, there is one little item that is particularly high on the current agenda. And that concerns the derivatives market, which in its totality approximates somewhere between 750 trillion and 1 quadrillion dollars of instruments as of 2008. In fact, the sub prime mortgage defaults are just a tip of the tip of the iceberg when compared to the real megilla – DERIVATIVES. This is what they’re really worried about, and having to cover for. Except this is a quadrillion dollar megilla that can’t be covered without unraveling the entire capitalistic system, and its fascist corpocracy and kleptocratic oligarchy.  &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;11. And then there is the teenie-weenie matter concerning the Federal Reserve, and its collection agency – the IRS. The man standing behind this curtain has a lot at stake, especially in the form of mountains of evidence that will indict, and convict, the entire system. Lots of evidence was destroyed during and after 911, as will happen after many of these Wall Street firms are taken over, nationalized, liquidated, merged and disappeared. The veil, however, has already been lifted. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Does anyone see a pattern here?! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The real lesson to be gleaned from this analysis is that events of such enormity and consequence are rarely spontaneous and unchoreographed. Especially when they happen just weeks from an era defining presidential election. They have obviously been planning this one for a long time, and it has been fastidiously engineered to have a very definite effect and desired outcome – a permanent planetary plantation (PPP). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The execution, thus far, has been flawless. Even for those of us who stood there on the 1st 911, and knew it was a fraud while the buildings were coming down, this one is exceedingly more difficult to penetrate. However, penetrate we will, until every last conspirator is sitting before the TRUTH AND RECONCILIATION COMMISSION spillin’ the beans. The ultimate and lasting effect of these inquiries will be a New World Order of our making, not theirs. The only remaining, $64,000 question will undoubtedly be, “What do we do with them after we head them off at the pass?”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For the uninitiated, it may take quite a lot to wrap your mind around this extremely complex and convoluted plot, but, please, just be patient. As this drama plays out, the true intentions of the primary perpetrators will become manifest as they unwittingly reveal themselves by their handiwork. As Eliot Spitzer, no - Eliot Ness, nee – Sherlock Holmes once alluded to – a fingerprint inadvertently left as evidence is impossible to erase.  &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;The pre-planned Financial/Economic 911 of 2008&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You see, the short sellers, unlike the “airplanes”, are still with us. Each one had a target to take down which they did with amazing speed and dexterity. And the myriad transactions that converged to topple their prey are all preserved somewhere, in some huge database, with multiple backups to serve as confirmation of trades of staggering amounts. AHHH!

As we shine the LIGHT of our collective awareness on these rapidly unfolding schemes, we will serve as beacons of revelation, and hope to the world. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember – we now know the script. We know the major players involved. We know their MO: Controlled Demolition. We are able to watch the crimes being committed in real time. Each of us has now been thusly notified, and empowered, to serve as a vector of dissemination of this critical information.

Not in the pronouncements of a corrupt judiciary.&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Not in the actions of pompous Justices who&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;impose their own will by technical and arbitrary rules.&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Justice Scalia argued that the court&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;was acting to protect the legitimacy&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;of a Bush victory. But the Court's&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;decision damaged Bush's legitimacy&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;(not to mention to its own) much more than&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;anything else they could possibly have done.&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;It's obvious that the action of Scalia&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;was to make sure Bush had a Presidency.&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;He mentioned "legitimacy of his election,"&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;- - as if such an election existed,&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;which it did not under FL law at that time.&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Scalia lies.&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;By backing up Bush's claim: that Bush&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;had been "elected," he repeated a lie.&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;He gave substance to a lie. He just&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;made up Law. The "legitimacy" smokescreen&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;was just a "claim." Scalia knew damn well&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;there would never be any "legitimacy" to&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;what Scalia did except as he  writes the&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Law and therefore Bush's claim is bona&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;fide if Scalia pronounces it so, by definition.&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;He didn't care.

As animal attacks on humans reach frightening levels, scientists are beginning to understand exactly what the beasts are thinking. And it's not good. Will Storr reports&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In a tiny village in rural Assam, two terrified children will tonight sleep in a tree house. It doesn't matter how much their mother scolds them; there's no way they're going to bed down there. Not after what happened. They can still remember that night, of course - being picked up by their mother, and how hard she covered their mouths with her hands to stop them screaming. They can remember the other sounds, too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/graphics/2008/08/10/sv_animals1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px;" src="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/graphics/2008/08/10/sv_animals1.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The elephants had come in from the forest again. Then they saw one, a vast dark hulk looming out of the black towards their door. Their Dad tried to push it away. That's when the elephant carried him round the side of the house and killed him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Elephants haven't always behaved like this. But in recent years, in India and all over Africa, too, some menacing change has come over them. And not just elephants - it's almost any species. This disquieting pattern has only recently been detected, in part because it is so disparate and weird. But it's now widely accepted that the relationship between humans and animals is changing. One of the world's leading ethologists (specialists in animal behaviour) believes that a critical point has been crossed and animals are beginning to snap back. After centuries of being eaten, evicted, subjected to vivisection, killed for fun, worn as hats and made to ride bicycles in circuses, something is causing them to turn on us. And it is being taken seriously enough by scientists that it has earned its own acronym: HAC - 'human-animal conflict'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's happening everywhere. Authorities in America and Canada are alarmed at the increase in attacks on humans by mountain lions, cougars, foxes and wolves. Romania and Colombia have seen a rise in bear maulings. In Mexico, in just the past few months, there's been a spate of deadly shark attacks with The LA Times reporting that, 'the worldwide rate in recent years is double the average of the previous 50'. America and Sierra Leone have witnessed assaults and killings by chimps who, according to New Scientist, 'almost never attack people'. In Uganda, they have started killing children by biting off their limbs then disembowelling them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There has been a surge in wolf attacks in Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Russia and France. In Australia, there has been a run of dingo killings, and crocodile violence is up. In Beijing, injuries from cats and dogs have swelled by 34 per cent, year-on-year. In America, the number of humans killed by pet dogs has increased sharply since 2000. In Australia, dog attacks are up 20 per cent. In Britain, nearly 4,000 people needed hospital treatment for dog bites in 2007, a figure that has doubled in the past four years. In Bombay, petrified residents are being slaughtered in ever-increasing numbers by leopards, leading J. C. Daniel, a leopard specialist, to comment, 'We have to study why the animal is coming out. It never came out before.' In Edinburgh, in June, there was a string of bizarre fox attacks - a pensioner was among the victims. In Singapore, residents have been being terrorised by packs of macaques. Sharon Chan, a national parks official, told reporters, 'It's a very weird situation.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/graphics/2008/08/10/sv_animals2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px;" src="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/graphics/2008/08/10/sv_animals2.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The numbers are disturbing enough, but the menacing changes in behaviour are especially worrying to scientists. In Australia, the biologist Dr Scoresby Shepherd - who pointed out that in areas where shark attacks used to happen every three or four decades, they are now taking place at least once a year - has suggested that sharks are switching their prey to humans. In Los Angeles, Prof Lee Fitzhugh has come to the same conclusion about mountain lions. In San Francisco, a spate of sea lion assaults lead one local to comment, 'I've been swimming here for 70 years and nothing like this has happened before.' In Cameroon, for the first time, gorillas have been throwing bits of tree at humans. They're using weapons against us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's easy to see why some suspect revenge. The theory that the animals of the three elements are conspiring against us gained popularity in 2006, when the Australian television presenter Steve Irwin was speared through the heart by a stingray off the north Queensland coast. In the aftermath, the phrase 'freak accident' was used in news reports. When, just six weeks later, the same thing happened to James Bertakis, of Miami (he lived only because, unlike Irwin, he didn't pull the barbed sting out), people started wondering. Then, in March this year, Judy Kay Zagorski was boating on the Florida Keys when a stingray leapt from the water and fatally struck her in the face.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Any sane person might decide that his theory, which posits that beasts are working in concert to take revenge on humans, is insane. But in the regions where the most research into HAC is being carried out, scientists have concluded that revenge for our myriad barbarities could indeed be a motive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All over Africa, India and parts of south-east Asia, elephants have started attacking humans in unprecedented numbers. Not just killing - they're rampaging through villages and stomping crops, terrorising local populations in any way they can. 'What's happening today is extraordinary,' Dr Gay Bradshaw, a world authority on elephants, told reporters in 2006. 'Where for centuries humans and elephants lived in relatively peaceful co-existence, there is now hostility and violence.' Bradshaw is the director of the Kerulos Centre for Animal Psychology and Trauma Recovery, in Oregon. 'When you see reports of elephants running into crops or attacking people, they're highly stressed,' she tells me. 'And there are multiple stressors - violence, lack of food, lack of water; their families are being broken up; their society is collapsing. All of these things are human-derived.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/graphics/2008/08/10/sv_animals3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px;" src="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/graphics/2008/08/10/sv_animals3.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bradshaw describes the elephants as being 'under siege' from the locals. But the violence against humans has increased so suddenly, and reached such levels, that these traditional factors aren't thought to be sufficient to explain it. Bradshaw and her colleagues now think that there's been a massive, pan-species psychological collapse throughout the world's pachyderms. In essence, we're witnessing the dysfunctional shenanigans of a generation of depraved elephants. These are individuals who have become psychologically fractured after being orphaned at a developmentally delicate age or are suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder after watching their families being slaughtered.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'You could make a parallel between elephants and people who are undergoing genocide and war,' Bradshaw says. 'They've gone through massive killings and many have sustained culls or severe poaching, so they've witnessed the violence and they're traumatised. It's critical to understand that when you have an experience at a young age, or through adolescence or even as an adult, it enters into the brain. In other cases, the normal rearing process is disrupted or conducted by distressed parents, so you're creating individuals who are mentally challenged.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Such claims might be dismissed as so much Disneyfied anthropomorphism if Bradshaw did not have the observational, psychological and neuroscientific evidence to back them up. And, she says, it might not be just in elephants that this critical point has been breached. 'I think we're well past the critical point,' she says. 'Well past. People are starting to notice these atypical behaviours in an array of species.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of the question of elephant revenge, though, she is more cautious. 'Put yourself in an elephant's shoes. What's it like living in Africa or Asia when you're surrounded by an active threat, not just to you but to your family? Let's take, for example, one of the things that's happening in Africa. Females are starting to charge lorries. Why? It's hard to understand the motive. Perhaps she's traumatised. Perhaps it's pre-emptive - they may have a gun. It may be self?defence. And other times it may well be revenge. It's not that I don't think elephants have the capacity.' Dr Marc Bekoff, a leading ethologist, agrees. 'We need to be careful when using that sort of language,' he says. 'But I don't think there's any doubt that, in certain situations, animals show revenge.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At first he thought it was a dream; that shuffling, that banging that bulged out of the darkness around him. By the time Michael Fitzgerald had roused himself and put on his slippers, he decided it was burglars. They were in the garage. He crept forward, readying himself for what awaited behind the electric door that was slowly, noisily rising. He peered in. It was a badger. Just a badger! He'd never seen one so close before. The badger looked up, then slowly, calmly walked up to him. 'Pam!' he called to his wife. 'Get a camera!' Two minutes later, blood from his arm was spattered over his front door.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'It was some kind of hell,' Fitzgerald, from Evesham, told the BBC, in 2003. 'His razor-blade teeth were around my arm.' Even after he had shaken if off, it gave chase, biting his legs and arms. 'I never envisaged I would be seeing my own insides,' he said. The badger then embarked on an 18-hour rampage around the town.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stories like these remind us that there are millions of beasts armed with teeth and stingers, who can out-sniff, out-run, out-fly, out-fight and out-bite every one of us. The eerie truth is that, right now, we're surrounded. As a species, we've been at the top of the food chain for so long, we've forgotten that 'humans' are mere anthropoid apes and, in distant millennia, we had to fight the feral armies to get here. In our hubris, we imagine we're an animal apart. For centuries, we've been told by priests and scientists that animals are not much more than unfeeling, unthinking, unselfconscious automatons. They're a gift from God, and their purpose is to have paracetamol rubbed into their eyes, to be turned into fancy trousers to be stuffed with nuts on His birthday. Many mainstream scientists still warn against anthropomorphism. But it doesn't stop the many people who are secretly wondering what's really going on behind those inscrutable black eyes? Are the birds talking about us? Do lobsters sulk? Can one moose love another? The more scientists have discovered about the inner lives of animals, the more troubling and strange things have become. 'Things are really changing,' acknowledges Bekoff. 'There's a lot of new behavioural research, a lot of new neuroscience research that demonstrates they are far more complex than was thought. We're not inserting into animals something they don't have.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bekoff describes the sound Darwinian logic beneath this gigantic paradigm shift. Simply, if our brains have developed the capacity for a rich emotional inner-life over the millions of years they've been evolving, then why not theirs?

The people cannot be safe without information. Where the press is free, and every man able to read, all is safe." Across the Atlantic another passionate be­liever in reason was thinking about the same time, in almost precisely similar terms. Here is what John Stuart Mill wrote of his father, the utilitarian philoso­pher, James Mill: "So complete was his reliance upon the influence of reason over the minds of mankind, whenever it is allowed to reach them, that he felt as if all would be gained, if the whole population were able to read, and if all sorts of opinions were allowed to be addressed to them by word or in writing, and if by the suffrage they could nominate a legislature to give effect to the opinions they had adopted." All is safe, all would be gained! Once more we hear the note of eight­eenth-century optimism. Jefferson, it is true, was a realist as well as an optimist. He knew by bitter expe­rience that the freedom of the press can be shamefully abused. "Nothing," he declared, "can now be believed which is seen in a newspaper." And yet, he insisted (and we can only agree with him), "within the pale of truth, the press is a noble institution, equally the friend of science and civil liberty." Mass commu­nication, in a word, is neither good nor bad; it is simply a force and, like any other force, it can be used either well or ill. Used in one way, the press, the radio and the cinema are indispensable to the survival of democracy. Used in another way, they are among the most powerful weapons in the dictator's armory. In the field of mass communications as in almost every other field of enterprise, technological progress has hurt the Little Man and helped the Big Man. As lately as fifty years ago, every democratic country could boast of a great number of small journals and local newspapers. Thousands of country editors expressed thousands of independent opinions. Somewhere or other almost anybody could get almost anything printed. Today the press is still legally free; but most of the little papers have disappeared. The cost of wood-pulp, of modern printing machinery and of syndicated news is too high for the Little Man. In the totalitarian East there is political censorship, and the media of mass communication are controlled by the State. In the democratic West there is economic censorship and the media of mass communication are controlled by members of the Power Elite. Censorship by rising costs and the concentration of communication power in the hands of a few big concerns is less objectionable than State ownership and government propaganda; but certainly it is not something of which a Jeffersonian democrat could possibly approve.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In regard to propaganda the early advocates of uni­versal literacy and a free press envisaged only two possibilities: the propaganda might be true, or it might be false. They did not foresee what in fact has happened, above all in our Western capitalist democra­cies -- the development of a vast mass communications industry, concerned in the main neither with the true nor the false, but with the unreal, the more or less totally irrelevant. In a word, they failed to take into account man's almost infinite appetite for distractions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the past most people never got a chance of fully satisfying this appetite. They might long for distrac­tions, but the distractions were not provided. Christmas came but once a year, feasts were "solemn and rare," there were few readers and very little to read, and the nearest approach to a neighborhood movie theater was the parish church, where the per­formances, though frequent, were somewhat monoto­nous. For conditions even remotely comparable to those now prevailing we must return to imperial Rome, where the populace was kept in good humor by frequent, gratuitous doses of many kinds of entertain­ment -- from poetical dramas to gladiatorial fights, from recitations of Virgil to all-out boxing, from con­certs to military reviews and public executions. But even in Rome there was nothing like the non-stop dis­traction now provided by newspapers and magazines, by radio, television and the cinema. In Brave New World non-stop distractions of the most fascinating nature (the feelies, orgy-porgy, centrifugal bumble-puppy) are deliberately used as instruments of policy, for the purpose of preventing people from paying too much attention to the realities of the social and polit­ical situation. The other world of religion is different from the other world of entertainment; but they resem­ble one another in being most decidedly "not of this world." Both are distractions and, if lived in too con­tinuously, both can become, in Marx's phrase, "the opium of the people" and so a threat to freedom. Only the vigilant can maintain their liberties, and only those who are constantly and intelligently on the spot can hope to govern themselves effectively by demo­cratic procedures. A society, most of whose members spend a great part of their time, not on the spot, not here and now and in the calculable future, but some­where else, in the irrelevant other worlds of sport and soap opera, of mythology and metaphysical fantasy, will find it hard to resist the encroachments of those who would manipulate and control it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In their propaganda today's dictators rely for the most part on repetition, suppression and rationaliza­tion -- the repetition of catchwords which they wish to be accepted as true, the suppression of facts which they wish to be ignored, the arousal and rationaliza­tion of passions which may be used in the interests of the Party or the State. As the art and science of manip­ulation come to be better understood, the dictators of the future will doubtless learn to combine these tech­niques with the non-stop distractions which, in the West, are now threatening to drown in a sea of irrele­vance the rational propaganda essential to the mainten­ance of individual liberty and the survival of demo­cratic institutions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Aldous Huxley, Brave New World Revisited, 1958&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www. huxley. net/bnw-revisited/index. html#propdem"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Full text online&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From Wikipedia:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Brave New World Revisited (Harper &amp; Row, 1958), written by Huxley almost thirty years after Brave New World, was a non-fiction work in which Huxley considered whether the world had moved toward or away from his vision of the future from the 1930's.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He believed when he wrote the original novel that it was a reasonable guess as to where the world might go in the future but in Brave New World Revisited he concluded that the world was becoming much more like Brave New World much faster than he thought.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Huxley analyzed the causes of this, such as overpopulation as well as all the means by which populations can be controlled. He was particularly interested in the effects of drugs and subliminal suggestion. Brave New World Revisited is different in tone due to Huxley's evolving thought, as well as his conversion to Vedanta in the interim between the two books.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This bulletin may contain copyrighted material.

No one still living seems to know where it went. ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Local historians recently confirmed the memorial's existence in newspaper archives. Now they're trying to figure out what happened to it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The monument was situated along the shore of man-made Lake Lincoln. One theory holds that when Lake Lincoln was renovated and expanded in the '20s, officials realized the monument was in the way and took it down. If that's true, there's little hope that the memorial's intricately carved stone base has survived. But the bronze bust may still be out there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.wctv.tv/news/headlines/20473824.html"&gt;Trojan statue at Lincoln High defaced&lt;/a&gt; (in Leon County) [url]&lt;br /&gt;Quote:&lt;br /&gt;[/url]&lt;br /&gt;Michael Turner stated he and a juvenile went to Lincoln High School with the intent to spray paint the statue. Turner stated that he used yellow and blue spray paint, painting the letters "GHH" on the stone base of the statue and spray painting the Lincoln High School sign at the front of the school with "Seniors 08".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.dailytidings.com/2008/0602/stories/0602_lincolnhead.php"&gt;Lincoln Statue Decapitated &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quote:&lt;br /&gt;The Abe Lincoln statue in Lithia Park is headless again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ashland police park patrol officer Nathan Twiss found Lincoln's head and hand missing Sunday morning. He said the vandalism took place sometime between 9 p.m. Saturday and 10:30 a.m. Sunday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don Robertson, director of Parks and Recreation, said this was the fourth time Lincoln has been decapitated since 1915, when Gwin S. Butler donated the statue to the city to memorialize his stepfather, pioneer Jacob Thompson, who moved to Ashland in 1847. The six-foot-tall piece was originally sculpted in Florence, Italy, by A. Frilli.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One incident occurred in 1967. Hamid Ghavam, a Southern Oregon University student, repaired the head and removed blue paint from the statue in 1968.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another beheading occurred more than 27 years ago and parks officials relegated Lincoln's likeness to a storage facility for more than a decade.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The statue was restored in 1990 and reintroduced to the public with a new head on its shoulders.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Robertson said the latest decapitation appeared deliberate. He said there had to be more than one person involved and that the vandals chiseled away at the head and then sawed off the metal rod used to secure the head.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5htGCoMQWxjWPoMHcqAEAHQVE69OQD91C23MG2"&gt;Confederate group offers Jefferson Davis statue for Lincoln site&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Quote:&lt;br /&gt;A Southern heritage group that opposed a statue of President Abraham Lincoln at the American Civil War Center is offering to donate a $100,000 statue of Confederate President Jefferson Davis for the same site.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Brag Bowling, a spokesman for the Virginia division of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, said the gift is intended to celebrate Davis's birth 200 years ago this month in Kentucky.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is not, he said, payback for the Lincoln statue unveiled in 2003.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://blogs.courant.com/news_opinion_hunter/2008/06/-a-complaint-observation-or.html"&gt;Newspaper cover photo shows "noose" around neck of Lincoln statue&lt;/a&gt; Read about the uproar here: &lt;br /&gt;The actual story is also interesting: Ken Kahn, director of the arts council, talks about the impact of a new Lincoln-themed sculpture garden. http://www.courant.com/news/local/hc-sculpturegarden.artjun10,0,6009056.story&lt;br /&gt;Quote:&lt;br /&gt;The theme is Abraham Lincoln — 11 of the statues are abstract interpretations of highlights from Lincoln's life, including the creation of the transcontinental railway and the emancipation of the slaves.

The study falsely claimed that population growth in the so-called Lesser Developed Countries (LDCs) was a grave threat to U.S. national security. Adopted as official policy in November 1975 by President Gerald Ford, NSSM 200 outlined a covert plan to reduce population growth in those countries through birth control, and also, implicitly, war and famine. Brent Scowcroft, who had by then replaced Kissinger as national security adviser (the same post Scowcroft was to hold in the Bush administration), was put in charge of implementing the plan. CIA Director George Bush was ordered to assist Scowcroft, as were the secretaries of state, treasury, defense, and agriculture.&lt;br style="display:none"/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The bogus arguments that Kissinger advanced were not original. One of his major sources was the Royal Commission on Population, which King George VI had created in 1944 "to consider what measures should be taken in the national interest to influence the future trend of population." The commission found that Britain was gravely threatened by population growth in its colonies, since "a populous country has decided advantages over a sparsely-populated one for industrial production." The combined effects of increasing population and industrialization in its colonies, it warned, "might be decisive in its effects on the prestige and influence of the West," especially effecting "military strength and security.&lt;br style="display:none"/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;NSSM 200 similarly concluded that the United States was threatened by population growth in the former colonial sector. It paid special attention to 13 "key countries" in which the United States had a "special political and strategic interest": India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines, Turkey, Nigeria, Egypt, Ethiopia, Mexico, Brazil, and Colombia. It claimed that population growth in those states was especially worrisome, since it would quickly increase their relative political, economic, and military strength.&lt;br style="display:none"/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For example, Nigeria: "Already the most populous country on the continent, with an estimated 55 million people in 1970, Nigeria's population by the end of this century is projected to number 135 million. This suggests a growing political and strategic role for Nigeria, at least in Africa." Or Brazil: "Brazil clearly dominated the continent demographically." The study warned of a "growing power status for Brazil in Latin America and on the world scene over the next 25 years.&lt;br style="display:none"/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"&lt;font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font face="arial" size="3"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;Food as a weapon&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font face="arial" size="2"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There were several measures that Kissinger advocated to deal with this alleged threat, most prominently, birth control and related population-reduction programs. He also warned that "population growth rates are likely to increase appreciably before they begin to decline," even if such measures were adopted.&lt;br style="display:none"/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A second measure was curtailing food supplies to targetted states, in part to force compliance with birth control policies: "There is also some established precedent for taking account of family planning performance in appraisal of assistance requirements by AID [U.S. Agency for International Development] and consultative groups. Since population growth is a major determinant of increases in food demand, allocation of scarce PL 480 resources should take account of what steps a country is taking in population control as well as food production. In these sensitive relations, however, it is important in style as well as substance to avoid the appearance of coercion.&lt;br style="display:none"/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Mandatory programs may be needed and we should be considering these possibilities now," the document continued, adding, "Would food be considered an instrument of national power? ... Is the U.S.&lt;br style="display:none"/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;prepared to accept food rationing to help people who can't/won't control their population growth?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kissinger also predicted a return of famines that could make exclusive reliance on birth control programs unnecessary. "Rapid population growth and lagging food production in developing countries, together with the sharp deterioration in the global food situation in 1972 and 1973, have raised serious concerns about the ability of the world to feed itself adequately over the next quarter of century and beyond," he reported.&lt;br style="display:none"/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The cause of that coming food deficit was not natural, however, but was a result of western financial policy: "Capital investments for irrigation and infrastucture and the organization requirements for continuous improvements in agricultural yields may be beyond the financial and administrative capacity of many LDCs. For some of the areas under heaviest population pressure, there is little or no prospect for foreign exchange earnings to cover constantly increasingly imports of food.&lt;br style="display:none"/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"It is questionable," Kissinger gloated, "whether aid donor countries will be prepared to provide the sort of massive food aid called for by the import projections on a long-term continuing basis." Consequently, "large-scale famine of a kind not experienced for several decades—a kind the world thought had been permanently banished," was foreseeable—famine, which has indeed come to pass.&lt;br style="display:none"/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To read the entire NSSM 200 document, click here.&lt;br style="display:none"/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To read the full report from EIR Magazine, follow the link below:&lt;br /&gt;Who Is Responsible for the World Food Shortage?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vd2Vi"&gt;http://web&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br style="display:none"/&gt; archive. org/web/20050306091656/www. africa2000. com/SNDX/nssm200all.&lt;br style="display:none"/&gt;&lt;br /&gt; html&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vd2Vi"&gt;http://web&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br style="display:none"/&gt; archive. org/web/20050120090655/www. larouchepub. com/other/1995/2249_food_intro.&lt;br style="display:none"/&gt;&lt;br /&gt; html&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1554887552845443191-6694616655758296838?l=overmuch.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://overmuch.blogspot.com/feeds/6694616655758296838/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1554887552845443191&amp;postID=6694616655758296838' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1554887552845443191/posts/default/6694616655758296838'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1554887552845443191/posts/default/6694616655758296838'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://overmuch.blogspot.com/2008/07/plan-for-food-control-genocide.html' title='Plan for Food Control Genocide'/><author><name>Peggy Carter</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_T66Zcma3eso/SO7DMwRURuI/AAAAAAAABLc/RZAe2diFIug/S220/ppht47.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1554887552845443191.post-2950272646282264077</id><published>2008-07-03T15:45:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-07-03T15:46:28.486-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Canola Oil, GE?</title><content type='html'>----------------- Bulletin Message -----------------&lt;br /&gt;From: &lt;a href='http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&amp;friendid=117590415&amp;MyToken=4fbc4b94-b9c5-4b0f-a912-906c0de2a8bd'&gt;Toll Road and a Pay Toilet - Blonderburg Meeting&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Date: Jul 3, 2008 7:39 PM&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Canola Oil?

I tried it because the label assured me it was lowest in "bad" fats. However, when I had used half the bottle, I concluded that the label told me surprisingly little else and I started to wonder: where does canola oil come from?  Olive oil comes from olives, peanut oil from peanuts, sunflower oil from sunflowers; but what is a canola? There was nothing on the label to enlighten me, which I thought odd.  So, I did some investigating on the Internet.  There are plenty of official Canola sites lauding this new "wonder" oil with all its Lowfat health benefits. It takes a little longer to find sites that tell the less palatable details.  Here are just a few facts everyone should know before buying anything containing canola.  Canola is not the name of a natural plant but a made-up word, from the words "Canada" and "oil".  Canola is a genetically engineered plant developed in Canada from the Rapeseed Plant, which is part of the mustard family of plants.  According to AgriAlternatives, The Online Innovation, and Technology Magazine for Farmers, "By nature, these rapeseed oils, which have long been used to produce oils for industrial purposes, are toxic to humans and other animals." (This, by the way, is one of the websites singing the praises of the new canola industry..) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rapeseed oil is poisonous to living things and is an excellent insect repellent.  I have been using it (in very diluted form, as per instructions) to kill the aphids on my roses for the last two years.  It works very well; it suffocates them.  Ask for it at your nursery. Rape is an oil that isused as a lubricant, fuel, soap and synthetic rubber base and as an illuminate for color pages in magazines.  It is an industrial oil.  It is not a food. Rape oil, it seems, causes emphysema, respiratory distress, anemia, constipation, irritability, and blindness in animals and humans.  Rape oil was widely used in animal feeds in England and Europe between 1986 and 1991, when it was thrown out.  Remember the "Mad Cow disease" scare, when millions of cattle in the UK were slaughtered in case of infecting humans? Cattle were being fed on a mixture containing material from dead sheep, and sheep suffer from a disease called "scrapie".  It was thought this was how "Mad Cow" began and started to infiltrate the human chain.  What is interesting is that when rape oil was removed from animal feed, 'scrapie' disappeared.  We also haven't seen any further reports of "Mad Cow" since rape oil was removed from the feed.  Perhaps not scientifically proven, but interesting all the same.  US and Canadian farmers grow genetically engineered rapeseed and manufacturers use its oil (canola) in thousands of processed foods, with the blessings of Canadian and US government watchdog agencies.  The canola supporting websites say that canola is safe to use.They admit it was developed from the rapeseed, but insist that through genetic engineering it is no longer rapeseed, but "canola" instead..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Except canola means "Canadian oil"; and the plant is still a rape plant, albeit genetically modified.  The new name provides perfect cover for commercial interests wanting to make millions. Look at the ingredients list on labels.  Apparently peanut oil is being replaced with rape oil. You'll find it in an alarming number of processed foods.  There's more, but to conclude: rape oil was the source of the chemical warfare agent mustard gas, which was banned after blistering the lungs and skins of hundred of thousands of soldiers and civilians during W.W.I. Recent French reports indicate that it was again in use during the Gulf War..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Check products for ingredients.  If the label says, "May contain the following" and lists canola oil, you know it contains canola oil because it is the cheapest oil and the Canadian government subsidizes it to industries involved in food processing.  I don't know what you'll be cooking with tonight, but I'll be using olive oil and old-fashioned butter, from a genetically unmodified cow..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is more information.......... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Canola oil from the rape seed, referred to as the Canadian oil because Canada is mainly responsible for it being marketed in the USA.  The Canadian government and industry paid our Federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) $50 million dollars to have canola oil placed on the (GRAS) List, "Generally Recognized As Safe".  Thus a new industry was created.  Laws were enacted affecting international trade, commerce, and traditional diets.  Studies with lab.  animals were disastrous.  Rats developed fatty degeneration of heart, kidney, adrenals, and thyroid gland.  When canola oil was withdrawn from their diets, the deposits dissolved but scar tissue remained on all vital organs.  No studies on humans were made before money was spent to promote Canola oil in the USA. Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) is a rare fatal degenerative disease caused by a build up long-chain fatty acids (c22 to c28) which destroys the myelin (protective sheath) of the nerves.  Canola oil is a very long chain fatty acid oil (c22).  Those who will defend canola oil say that the Chinese and Indians have used it for centuries with no effect, however it was in an unrefined form (taken from FATS THAT HEAL AND FATS THAT KILL by Udo Erasmus).  My cholesterol level was 150. After a year using Canola oil I tested 260.  I switched back to pure olive oil and it has taken 5 years to get it down to 160.  Thus began this project to find answers since most Doctors will say that Canola oil is O.K. My sister spilled Canola oil on a piece of fabric, after 5 pre-treatings and harsh washings, the oil spot still showed.  She stopped using Canola oil, wondering what it did to our insides if it could not be removed from cloth easily..&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Our Father bred birds, always checking labels to insure there was no rape seed in their food.  He said, "The birds will eat it, but they do not live very long". A friend, who worked for only 9 mo.  as a quality control taster at an apple-chip factory where Canola oil was used exclusively for frying, developed numerous health problems.  These included loose teeth &amp; gum disease; numb hands and feet; swollen arms and legs upon rising in the morning; extreme joint pain especially in hands, cloudy vision, constipation with stools like black marbles, hearing loss; skin tears from being bumped; lack of energy; hair loss and heart pains. It has been five years since she has worked there and still has some joint pain, gum disease, and numbness.  A fellow worker, about 30 years old, who ate very little product, had a routine check up and found that his blood vessels were like those of an 80 year old man.  Two employees fed the waste product to baby calves and their hair fell out.  After removing the fried apple chips from the diet their hair grew back in.  My daughter and her girls were telling jokes. Stephanie hit her mom's arm with the back of a butter knife in a gesture, not hard enough to hurt.  My daughters arm split open like it was rotten.  She called me to ask what could have caused it.  I said, "I'll bet anything that you are using Canola oil". Sure enough, there was a big gallon jug in the pantry. Rape seed oil is a penetrating oil, to be used in light industry, not for human consumption.  It contains a toxic substance.  Even after the processing to reduce the erucic acid content, it is still a penetrating oil.  We have found that it turns rancid very fast.  Also it leaves a residual rancid odor  on clothing.  Rape seed oil used for stir-frying in China found to emit cancer causing chemicals.  (Rapeseed oil smoke causes lung cancer) Amal Kumar Maj.  The Wall Street Journal June 7, 1995, pB6(W) pB6 (E) col 1(11 col in)..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Compiled by Darleen Bradley..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Canola oil is a health hazard to use as a cooking oil or salad oil.  It is not the healthy oil we thought it was.  It is not fit for human consumption, do not eat canola oil, it can hurt you. Polyunsaturated or not, this is a bad oil..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;b&gt;External Link to Source:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vd3d3LnRldHJhaGVkcm9uLm9yZy9hcnRpY2xlcy9oZWFsdGhfcmlza3MvY2Fub2xhX29pbC5odG1s"&gt;http://www. tetrahedron. org/articles/health_risks/canola_oil. html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Learn More:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vZW4ud2lraXBlZGlhLm9yZy93aWtpL0Nhbm9sYV9vaWw="&gt;http://en. wikipedia. org/wiki/Canola_oil&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1554887552845443191-2950272646282264077?l=overmuch.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://overmuch.blogspot.com/feeds/2950272646282264077/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1554887552845443191&amp;postID=2950272646282264077' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1554887552845443191/posts/default/2950272646282264077'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1554887552845443191/posts/default/2950272646282264077'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://overmuch.blogspot.com/2008/07/canola-oil-ge.html' title='Canola Oil, GE?'/><author><name>Peggy Carter</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_T66Zcma3eso/SO7DMwRURuI/AAAAAAAABLc/RZAe2diFIug/S220/ppht47.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m52/phoridflystudios/NEW/th_canolaoil.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1554887552845443191.post-2543581427581280092</id><published>2008-06-28T16:31:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-06-28T18:55:54.661-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Two  Towers Sherry Netherland and Pierre</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_T66Zcma3eso/SGbKI5_PHfI/AAAAAAAAAys/JSFuBMFrnmU/s1600-h/sherrynetherlandseeps.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block;

Only in *this great country* do we allow creeps like you to say bad things about the government. But you don't deserve it."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The implication being that the public, or elements of the public, believe it is a privilege (that is abused) rather than a straight out right - for someone to speak their mind.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The most strongly protected [only] "right" [left] in "America" as I was told by a government worker at the Ulster County Mental Health clinic, is to wander the streets insane "if you so choose." In that case they won't bother you. It's too expensive to help. And, beside, it's your "right" to be mentally ill without treatment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Point being, if you are ill and need help, they will leave you alone.&lt;br /&gt;For More Info on this horror:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.treatmentadvocacycenter.org/"&gt;Treatment Advocacy Center&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you are doing political protesting a lot of government resources will be spent to harass you (spy on you and infiltrate your organization and perhaps even murder you).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A lot of money is being spend murdering people and causing major mahem in Iraq. And I understand the anti-war protests here have gotten smaller and smaller.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A sentiment I heard on the street yesterday from a seasoned and determined anti-war activists "Americans are colluding in an illegal war. They are colluding in murder. As long as they are not threatened personally, they do not care what happens to others."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I tried to defend the Public and said, "But don't you think the Mass Media is to blame for using its influence to mind control the population?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He said, "No thePublic is responsible if they are allowing themselves to be swayed by the TV. Anyone can get on the Internet for a few hours and inform themselves."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've lost the Man's card, but &lt;a href="www.idiot-ink.com"&gt;he sell stickers "Who Would Jesus Bomb?"&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1554887552845443191-6406807614051178796?l=overmuch.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://overmuch.blogspot.com/feeds/6406807614051178796/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1554887552845443191&amp;postID=6406807614051178796' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1554887552845443191/posts/default/6406807614051178796'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1554887552845443191/posts/default/6406807614051178796'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://overmuch.blogspot.com/2008/03/american-hospitality-police-brutality.html' title='&quot;American Hospitality&quot; Police Brutality at Free Tibet Action'/><author><name>Peggy Carter</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_T66Zcma3eso/SO7DMwRURuI/AAAAAAAABLc/RZAe2diFIug/S220/ppht47.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1554887552845443191.post-3264933089794353684</id><published>2008-03-24T15:15:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-03-24T15:53:35.248-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ramblin gal'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='spitzer'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='9/11'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='susan block'/><title type='text'>Ramblin Gal on Susan Block, Spitzer and Retribution</title><content type='html'>Interesting, but I never got through all the psycho babble.

That's why I was happy to see Spitzer being derided in the press.  If he isn't taken to trial and given some prison time, he gets off scot free other than the humiliation.  He and his family are so filthy rich they cannot be monetarily penalized.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Politicians like Spitzer crawl and claw their way up the ladder certainly do not do it with any kind of public interest at heart.  It's purely ego, to have the Press create a personna of them - not as even decent people.  But as Powerful.  Important.  They want to mingle with the socially elite, with celebrities, people on page six.  And scare other people into staying in line.  Spitzer was as politically ambitious as Guiliani, Bush, Cheney or any of them.  Even had his eye on the white house.  And there was nothing he would not do to reach another rung of that bullshit ladder.  He brought lousy prosecutorially abusive cases against people - for his agrandizment. Ignored 9/11 crimes because he was obviously in cahoots with the perpetrators.  And passed draconian prostitution laws - to suck up to middle class voters.  Now he is paying minimally for his crimes.  His worst being that while 9/11 victims were spending time writing up their "citizen's complaint" or whatever they called it, and presenting it to him - with his promise that he would consider it - he was all time time using his legal staff (taxpayer paid) to draft an amicus brief in support of his buddy Larry Silverstein receiving seven something (instead of three something) billion dollars for the alleged "plane crashes" into WTC one and two.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So far his culpability in 9/11 has remained hidden - who knows if it will ever come out or even bee that important, now that he has hopefully committed political career suicide.  But don't count on it!  These political criminals rise like the pheonix after a time has passed - that's why it's important to keep his name and face out there as the joke they have become. The public at large does not get the message easily, so flaunting it as much as possible might help.  Patterson, the guy who replaced him -has already admitted to sexual improprieties - although if he and his wife were split up I don't know why its such an issue.  Guess he just wanted to confess now rather than later when it would inevitably be brought up to be used against him.  But his campaign funds fraud and other stuff is of greater import.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most import thing about him is, he is a Black man - and not too sound racist - I do find a lot more Blacks assume 9/11 was an inside job than whites do.  Guess they have more reason to not trust the government, considering how disproportionate is their jail sentencing ratio.  But most important - he looks like he would put up much less resistance should we prevail with our petition to reopen an investigation of 9/11.  We know what a vicious animal spitzer is, and his intimate ties to Silverstein.  so he would have pulled out all the stops to make sure this never happened even if we accomplished the number of signed petitions necessary.  So hopefully Spitzer has been permanently defanged, and a little prison time thrown it would be great.  Guiliani has been forced to drop out of the scene (publically anyway), and Kerik, that other great 9/11 player, may also be doing time.  hopefully.  who knows? the more of them gone, the merrier.  But a continuous reminder to the public of just what scumbags they are - without our having thus far been able to Prove our case - that they were all involved in 9/11 - can't hurt!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;later, lu ann&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;----- Original Message ----- From: "Blockbush" &lt;blockbush@blockbush.org&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To: "ramblin' gal" &lt;ramblingal@earthlink.net&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sent: Saturday, March 22, 2008 11:18 AM&lt;br /&gt;Subject: Fwd: Susan Block on Spitzer&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;:)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Advice For Eliot Spitzer...&lt;br /&gt;    Tue Mar 18, 2008 9:27 am (PDT)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    March 17, 2008 Amsterdamize New York! Advice for Eliot Spitzer&lt;br /&gt;    By Dr. SUSAN BLOCK&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Seeing the likes of former New York Governor and anti-prostitution&lt;br /&gt;    "Crusader of the Year" Eliot Spitzer caught with his pants down around&lt;br /&gt;    his ankles was no big shock. Flagrant hypocrisy often lurks just beneath&lt;br /&gt;    the surface of showy morality, especially when it comes to sex.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    It's aggravating to see war criminals like Bush and Dick blithely&lt;br /&gt;    continue to wreak havoc from their comfortable offices while johns like&lt;br /&gt;    Spitzer are lynched by the mob, especially when the whole "Eliot Mess"&lt;br /&gt;    seems to have been based on Federal wiretapping and bank transaction&lt;br /&gt;    monitoring that has Big Brother watching us like a Peeping Tom. It's&lt;br /&gt;    disheartening to realize that we live in a Bizarro World where a&lt;br /&gt;    politician can lead the nation into war on false pretenses and be&lt;br /&gt;    rewarded with a second term in office, but where illicit sex is an&lt;br /&gt;    impeachable offense.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Nevertheless, Spitzer's "crime" does bring up some interesting issues&lt;br /&gt;    regarding sex and money, men and women. Just listen to the chattering&lt;br /&gt;    sexperts trying vainly to explain why the former governor was an active&lt;br /&gt;    client of the elite Emperors Club call-girl service. Some declare him&lt;br /&gt;    spoiled, self-destructive or just plain nuts. Some say "boys will be&lt;br /&gt;    boys," and politicians will be politicians. Some cite the "arrogance of&lt;br /&gt;    power." The nastiest explanation is Dr. Laura's sisterly view that it's&lt;br /&gt;    all the wife's fault. Talk about being vicious when someone's down, and&lt;br /&gt;    just to sell a few books. Poor Silda Wall Spitzer. Before all the trauma&lt;br /&gt;    of recent days, she was quite sexy, as an old video of her showing off&lt;br /&gt;    the Governor's Mansion hothouse can attest. Maybe she should run for&lt;br /&gt;    office.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    But here's the problem with all the hand-wringing analysis: There are as&lt;br /&gt;    many different reasons why men go to hookers as there are men going to&lt;br /&gt;    hookers. One thing we do know: It's as natural as a bonobo female&lt;br /&gt;    presenting her big pink vulva to the male who just gave her a ripe&lt;br /&gt;    banana. When are we as a society going to grow up and face the fact&lt;br /&gt;    that, although sex can be spiritual and emotional, it can also be a&lt;br /&gt;    commodity for which some people (usually, but not always, males) pay&lt;br /&gt;    some other people (usually, but not always, females)? It might be&lt;br /&gt;    "wrong" in certain cases, like cheating is wrong. But should it be&lt;br /&gt;    illegal? Cheating isn't illegal. Nor should it be. And what about all&lt;br /&gt;    the single johns? They aren't even cheating. They just want to pay to&lt;br /&gt;    play with a consenting adult. Why should that be a criminal act?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Some say that prostitution should remain illegal because it reduces sex&lt;br /&gt;    to a business transaction. But many perfectly legal sex acts are&lt;br /&gt;    business transactions, from employees who sleep with bosses to get&lt;br /&gt;    promotions, to girls who go out with guys to get dinner, to guys who&lt;br /&gt;    sleep with women to stay rent-free in their apartments, to golddiggers&lt;br /&gt;    who simply marry for money. These approaches to sex are just as crass&lt;br /&gt;    and materialistic as the regular 'ho who asks for her cash up front, yet&lt;br /&gt;    they're not criminal acts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    With this in mind, I have some advice for Eliot Spitzer. Its such sound&lt;br /&gt;    advice, I think I'll write him an open letter&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Dear Mr. Spitzer (may I call you Eliot?),&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    I have a great idea for how you could resurrect your now-dead political&lt;br /&gt;    career: Admit the hypocrisy of your sex life up until now, and work to&lt;br /&gt;    decriminalize prostitution in New York and in America.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    I know, it sounds outrageous. But you know, in your heart of hearts, as&lt;br /&gt;    well as deep within your balls, that it's the right thing to do. And it&lt;br /&gt;    just might work. Before New York was New York, it was New Amsterdam.&lt;br /&gt;    Look at what they're doing in old Amsterdam. When prostitution is&lt;br /&gt;    decriminalized, crime goes down.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Come on, Eliot, you can do it! Use some of your family millions, your&lt;br /&gt;    amazing Harvard-trained brain, your now substantial name recognition,&lt;br /&gt;    your famously high testosterone levels, your legendary drive to win and&lt;br /&gt;    your deep desire to be one of the Good Guys, to get this ridiculous&lt;br /&gt;    victimless crime off the books.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    If you succeed in "Amsterdamizing" New York and the country, I promise&lt;br /&gt;    you will become a hero to many. Your current abject humiliation will be&lt;br /&gt;    seen as a springboard to your greatest calling: the decriminalization of&lt;br /&gt;    prostitution. You could then become an advocate of sex workers rights&lt;br /&gt;    and safety, really truly helping some of the women you once patronized.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    It would be a brilliant career move, as well as the best moral choice&lt;br /&gt;    for you, considering your current politically hopeless circumstances.&lt;br /&gt;    In the interest of my country, as well as my own promotion (I'm not a&lt;br /&gt;    hooker, but I am a publicity whore), I would offer my services to you as&lt;br /&gt;    a sex therapist.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    No charge.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Sincerely&lt;br /&gt;    Susan M. Block, PhD&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Of course, I don't expect the disgraced ex-guv to take me up on this,&lt;br /&gt;    not anymore than former New Life Church Pastor Ted Haggard took me up on&lt;br /&gt;    my idea for him to admit he was gay, or at least bisexual, and then&lt;br /&gt;    become the world's most successful Christian Evangelical Preacher to&lt;br /&gt;    gays and the Christians who love them, of which there are many more than&lt;br /&gt;    you might think. Pastor Ted was another quintessential hypocrite,&lt;br /&gt;    preaching that homosexual acts were condemned by God even as he was&lt;br /&gt;    committing such acts with a male hooker, while snorting meth and&lt;br /&gt;    grinning that big scary grin. But I felt that Pastor Ted was so crazily&lt;br /&gt;    charismatic and so flamboyantly, well, gay, that I kept hoping he would&lt;br /&gt;    "repent" by just admitting he was bi (or whatever he wanted to call&lt;br /&gt;    himself). Then his wife could say she was bi too, and then they could&lt;br /&gt;    both say being gay or bi was okay with God, and then they could start a&lt;br /&gt;    massive mega-church for gays, lesbians, bisexuals, trannies and alt sex&lt;br /&gt;    lovers in Boulder, Colorado. This could have happened. But it didn't.&lt;br /&gt;    Instead, Pastor Ted went into "counseling" and shortly thereafter, was&lt;br /&gt;    pronounced, by his counselor/minister Tim Ralph, to be "completely&lt;br /&gt;    heterosexual." And everybody laughed and said "Yeah, sure."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    So I expect that Spitzer will also continue playing the role of sexual&lt;br /&gt;    hypocrite that he has played lo, these many years. He will most likely&lt;br /&gt;    just slink off into "counseling," and then pronounce himself "healed."&lt;br /&gt;    And everybody will laugh and say "Yeah, sure."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    But then again, maybe he'll have a genuine change of heart. Maybe he&lt;br /&gt;    won't go through the typical charade. Maybe he will see the error of his&lt;br /&gt;    ways. Maybe he'll recognize that when he went after prostitution "rings"&lt;br /&gt;    as New York's attorney general, he was wasting tax payers' money and&lt;br /&gt;    hurting people whose only crime was to exchange money for consensual&lt;br /&gt;    sex. Maybe, he will join the ongoing sexual revolution, and use his&lt;br /&gt;    formidable skills and resources to help bring about the&lt;br /&gt;    decriminalization of the world's oldest profession, then help make it as&lt;br /&gt;    safe and equitable as it can be.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Then Mrs. Spitzer can run for office. Or write a best-seller. Or do her&lt;br /&gt;    personal trainer. Or whatever she damn well pleases.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Dr. Susan Block is a sex educator, cable TV host and author of The 10&lt;br /&gt;    Commandments of Pleasure.

There was some street theater -- eight women in white death masks and black robes sat for nearly an hour in the intersection of 17th and L streets NW until police dragged them away. But even participants said they were disappointed at the low turnout.&lt;br style="display:none"/&gt;&lt;br .. /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The demonstrations, which began at 8 a.m., were to continue throughout the evening. District transportation officials said they expected the evening rush to be affected and advised motorists to avoid the area along K Street between 13th and 17th streets.&lt;br style="display:none"/&gt;&lt;br .. /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The activities targeted an array of institutions that organizers blame for prolonging the Iraqi conflict, including the Internal Revenue Service and news outlets such as The Washington Post. It was the second day of a two-day protest marking the fifth anniversary of the start of the war.&lt;br style="display:none"/&gt;&lt;br .. /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The war continues. People continue to die. We don’t want our tax dollars spent on funding the war in Iraq and Afghanistan," said Ed Hedemann, 63, from Brooklyn, N.Y., who hoped to shut down the IRS for the day. "I refuse to pay my taxes for it.&lt;br style="display:none"/&gt;&lt;br .. /&gt;"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The IRS, however, remained open. Police said the protesters had caused no major disruptions, but Federal Protective Service officers, who have jurisdiction in and around federal buildings, had arrested about 35 people for crossing police lines. D.C. police had made one arrest, as of late morning, for crossing a police line.&lt;br style="display:none"/&gt;&lt;br .. /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We anticipate more arrests because the protesters are expected to try to block rush hour traffic later this afternoon. . . . We anticipate rolling street closures," said D.C. police spokeswoman Traci Hughes, who added that the process will be streamlined "They will pay a fine and be on their merry way.&lt;br style="display:none"/&gt;&lt;br .. /&gt;"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today’s activities began early as several hundred demonstrators gathered at McPherson Square and Franklin Square, then moved on to their targets at the IRS, the American Petroleum Institute and other locations.&lt;br style="display:none"/&gt;&lt;br .. /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A ragtag band of about 20 people, dressed in old bright-green band uniforms, led a parade of about 150 marchers down 12th Street NW to the IRS headquarters at 1111 Constitution Ave. NW. Members of the antiwar group Code Pink, dressed in their signature hot pink, held high a banner that said: "Not one more death. Not one more dollar. No Funds for War Crimes." Federal officers in black shades stood guard on the steps of the building.&lt;br style="display:none"/&gt;&lt;br .. /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Organizers handed out fliers that labeled the IRS building as "part of a crime against humanity" for funneling money to the Pentagon to finance the war. Donna Gould, a retired psychotherapist from New York, was wearing a white poncho that said in black letters: "Shut Down the IRS.&lt;br style="display:none"/&gt;&lt;br .. /&gt;"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I object to the fact that our tax money is used for war, killing, atrocities, and torture when it should be used for things that are life-affirming like health care, schools, housing, arts, bicycles, and converting to renewable energy," Gould said.&lt;br style="display:none"/&gt;&lt;br .. /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Officers began making arrests when the demonstrators, one by one, stepped over the metal barriers and police lines at the IRS entrance, making for the front steps. They did not fight their arrests and sat down quietly on the sidewalk, their hands handcuffed behind them. They were later loaded into a van.&lt;br style="display:none"/&gt;&lt;br .. /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But police did not seem eager to arrest anyone.&lt;br style="display:none"/&gt;&lt;br .. /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At 11:30 a.m., about 30 demonstrators were sitting in a circle, blocking one lane of L Street NW at 13th St. A ring of D.C. police officers on bicycles surrounded them. This had been going on for an hour, but a police captain on the scene said he did not plan to arrest anyone.&lt;br style="display:none"/&gt;&lt;br .. /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At about the same time, a group of about 100 veterans called Veterans for Peace was walking up Constitution Avenue, after a rally at the National Museum of the American Indian. Some of the older members were longtime protesters, their clothing covered with badges from the peace marches they’ve attended. But others were new to this. At the front of the line were about a dozen young veterans from the Iraq conflict, Dan Murphy, 23, among them.&lt;br style="display:none"/&gt;&lt;br .. /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"After the first time I got back, all I heard were lies -- how we were going to spread democracy, the weapons of mass destruction, Saddam Hussein and Sept. 11," said Murphy, now a college student, who served in the Army for 4 1/2 years.

BUSH, President of the United States of America, find that, due to the unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States posed by acts of violence threatening the peace and stability of Iraq and undermining efforts to promote economic reconstruction and political reform in Iraq and to provide humanitarian assistance to the Iraqi people, it is in the interests of the United States to take additional steps with respect to the national emergency declared in Executive Order 13303 of May 22, 2003, and expanded in Executive Order 13315 of August 28, 2003, and relied upon for additional steps taken in Executive Order 13350 of July 29, 2004, and Executive Order 13364 of November 29, 2004. I hereby order: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Section 1. (a) Except to the extent provided in section 203(b)(1), (3), and (4) of IEEPA (50 U.S.C. 1702(b)(1), (3), and (4)), or in regulations, orders, directives, or licenses that may be issued pursuant to this order, and notwithstanding any contract entered into or any license or permit granted prior to the date of this order, all property and interests in property of the following persons, that are in the United States, that hereafter come within the United States, or that are or hereafter come within the possession or control of United States persons, are blocked and may not be transferred, paid, exported, withdrawn, or otherwise dealt in: any person determined by the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Defense, &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(i) to have committed, or to pose a significant risk of committing, an act or acts of violence that have the purpose or effect of: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(A) threatening the peace or stability of Iraq or the Government of Iraq; or &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(B) undermining efforts to promote economic reconstruction and political reform in Iraq or to provide humanitarian assistance to the Iraqi people; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(ii) to have materially assisted, sponsored, or provided financial, material, logistical, or technical support for, or goods or services in support of, such an act or acts of violence or any person whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to this order; or &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(iii) to be owned or controlled by, or to have acted or purported to act for or on behalf of, directly or indirectly, any person whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to this order. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(b) The prohibitions in subsection (a) of this section include, but are not limited to, (i) the making of any contribution or provision of funds, goods, or services by, to, or for the benefit of any person whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to this order, and (ii) the receipt of any contribution or provision of funds, goods, or services from any such person. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sec. 2. (a) Any transaction by a United States person or within the United States that evades or avoids, has the purpose of evading or avoiding, or attempts to violate any of the prohibitions set forth in this order is prohibited. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(b) Any conspiracy formed to violate any of the prohibitions set forth in this order is prohibited. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sec. 3. For purposes of this order: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(a) the term "person" means an individual or entity; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(b) the term "entity" means a partnership, association, trust, joint venture, corporation, group, subgroup, or other organization; and &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(c) the term "United States person" means any United States citizen, permanent resident alien, entity organized under the laws of the United States or any jurisdiction within the United States (including foreign branches), or any person in the United States. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sec. 4. I hereby determine that the making of donations of the type specified in section 203(b)(2) of IEEPA (50 U.S.C. 1702(b)(2)) by, to, or for the benefit of, any person whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to this order would seriously impair my ability to deal with the national emergency declared in Executive Order 13303 and expanded in Executive Order 13315, and I hereby prohibit such donations as provided by section 1 of this order. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sec. 5. For those persons whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to this order who might have a constitutional presence in the United States, I find that, because of the ability to transfer funds or other assets instantaneously, prior notice to such persons of measures to be taken pursuant to this order would render these measures ineffectual. I therefore determine that for these measures to be effective in addressing the national emergency declared in Executive Order 13303 and expanded in Executive Order 13315, there need be no prior notice of a listing or determination made pursuant to section 1(a) of this order. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sec. 6. The Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Defense, is hereby authorized to take such actions, including the promulgation of rules and regulations, and to employ all powers granted to the President by IEEPA as may be necessary to carry out the purposes of this order. The Secretary of the Treasury may redelegate any of these functions to other officers and agencies of the United States Government, consistent with applicable law. All agencies of the United States Government are hereby directed to take all appropriate measures within their authority to carry out the provisions of this order and, where appropriate, to advise the Secretary of the Treasury in a timely manner of the measures taken. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sec. 7. Nothing in this order is intended to affect the continued effectiveness of any rules, regulations, orders, licenses, or other forms of administrative action issued, taken, or continued in effect heretofore or hereafter under 31 C.F.R. chapter V, except as expressly terminated, modified, or suspended by or pursuant to this order. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sec. 8. This order is not intended to, and does not, create any right, benefit, or privilege, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, instrumentalities, or entities, its officers or employees, or any other person. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;GEORGE W.

(a) Except to the extent provided in section 203(b)(1), (3), and (4) of IEEPA (50 U.S.C. 1702(b)(1), (3), and (4)), or in regulations, orders, directives, or licenses that may be issued pursuant to this order, and notwithstanding any contract entered into or any license or permit granted prior to the date of this order, all property and interests in property of the following persons, that are in the United States, that hereafter come within the United States, or that are or hereafter come within the possession or control of United States persons, are blocked and may not be transferred, paid, exported, withdrawn, or otherwise dealt in: any person determined by the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Defense, &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(i) to have committed, or to pose a significant risk of committing, an act or acts of violence that have the purpose or effect of: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(A) threatening the peace or stability of Iraq or the Government of Iraq; or &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(B) undermining efforts to promote economic reconstruction and political reform in Iraq or to provide humanitarian assistance to the Iraqi people; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(ii) to have materially assisted, sponsored, or provided financial, material, logistical, or technical support for, or goods or services in support of, such an act or acts of violence or any person whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to this order; or &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(iii) to be owned or controlled by, or to have acted or purported to act for or on behalf of, directly or indirectly, any person whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to this order. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(b) The prohibitions in subsection (a) of this section include, but are not limited to, (i) the making of any contribution or provision of funds, goods, or services by, to, or for the benefit of any person whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to this order, and (ii) the receipt of any contribution or provision of funds, goods, or services from any such person. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sec. 2. (a) Any transaction by a United States person or within the United States that evades or avoids, has the purpose of evading or avoiding, or attempts to violate any of the prohibitions set forth in this order is prohibited. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(b) Any conspiracy formed to violate any of the prohibitions set forth in this order is prohibited. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sec. 3. For purposes of this order: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(a) the term "person" means an individual or entity; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(b) the term "entity" means a partnership, association, trust, joint venture, corporation, group, subgroup, or other organization; and &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(c) the term "United States person" means any United States citizen, permanent resident alien, entity organized under the laws of the United States or any jurisdiction within the United States (including foreign branches), or any person in the United States. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sec. 4. I hereby determine that the making of donations of the type specified in section 203(b)(2) of IEEPA (50 U.S.C. 1702(b)(2)) by, to, or for the benefit of, any person whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to this order would seriously impair my ability to deal with the national emergency declared in Executive Order 13303 and expanded in Executive Order 13315, and I hereby prohibit such donations as provided by section 1 of this order. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sec. 5. For those persons whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to this order who might have a constitutional presence in the United States, I find that, because of the ability to transfer funds or other assets instantaneously, prior notice to such persons of measures to be taken pursuant to this order would render these measures ineffectual. I therefore determine that for these measures to be effective in addressing the national emergency declared in Executive Order 13303 and expanded in Executive Order 13315, there need be no prior notice of a listing or determination made pursuant to section 1(a) of this order. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sec. 6. The Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Defense, is hereby authorized to take such actions, including the promulgation of rules and regulations, and to employ all powers granted to the President by IEEPA as may be necessary to carry out the purposes of this order. The Secretary of the Treasury may redelegate any of these functions to other officers and agencies of the United States Government, consistent with applicable law. All agencies of the United States Government are hereby directed to take all appropriate measures within their authority to carry out the provisions of this order and, where appropriate, to advise the Secretary of the Treasury in a timely manner of the measures taken. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sec. 7. Nothing in this order is intended to affect the continued effectiveness of any rules, regulations, orders, licenses, or other forms of administrative action issued, taken, or continued in effect heretofore or hereafter under 31 C.F.R. chapter V, except as expressly terminated, modified, or suspended by or pursuant to this order. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sec. 8. This order is not intended to, and does not, create any right, benefit, or privilege, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, instrumentalities, or entities, its officers or employees, or any other person. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;GEORGE W.

(And I feel so much safer because of it.) Guess what the cop's punishment was when the video got public attention. A paid vacation. They call it "suspended with pay," which means he still gets taxpayer money, but doesn't work-- if you call harassing nonviolent kids "working." Well, now there is yet another video of that same thug displaying his usual contempt for the peasantry:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="never" allownetworking="internal" height="370" width="450" data="http://www.liveleak.com/player.swf"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/object&gt;..&lt;br /&gt;I hate to be a broken record, but since 99.999% of the country still doesn't get it, I'll say it again. THIS is the result of the myth of "authority": it gives societal PERMISSION for a few people to harass, intimidate, rob, extort, assault, and kidnap, where normal people have no such right. Imagine what would have happened if the kid with the remote control car said, "Get lost, you piece of #$@%^." (This is the same cop who had a fit because another kid called him "dude.")&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's a very simple question that I challenge any statist to answer: if all people are created equal (as far as their rights), how did this one obnoxious twit--and every other cop on the planet-- acquire the rights to do things that you and I DON'T have the right to do? And how did it come about that we have to treat them with EXTRA respect, and not treat them like the moronic thugs they are?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sincerely,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Larken Rose&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1554887552845443191-7637902423652255401?l=overmuch.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://overmuch.blogspot.com/feeds/7637902423652255401/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1554887552845443191&amp;postID=7637902423652255401' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1554887552845443191/posts/default/7637902423652255401'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1554887552845443191/posts/default/7637902423652255401'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://overmuch.blogspot.com/2008/02/look-kids-some-americans-actually-do.html' title='Look kids, Some Americans Actually Do Know What&apos;s Happening'/><author><name>Peggy Carter</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_T66Zcma3eso/SO7DMwRURuI/AAAAAAAABLc/RZAe2diFIug/S220/ppht47.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1554887552845443191.post-4259403895882682904</id><published>2008-02-17T07:50:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-02-17T08:33:49.788-08:00</updated><title type='text'>RE: The Psychopath - "The Mask of Sanity"</title><content type='html'>&lt;br /&gt;----------------- Bulletin Message -----------------&lt;br /&gt;From: &lt;a href='http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&amp;friendid=72127123&amp;MyToken=5cefbda8-760e-4583-998e-493684ae3206'&gt;Brandon&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Date: Feb 16, 2008 10:49 PM&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vd3d3LmNhc3Npb3BhZWEuY29tL2Nhc3Npb3BhZWEvcHN5Y2hvcGF0aC5odG0="&gt;Click here for the full article with a lot of links&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="4"&gt;THE PSYCHOPATH - The Mask of Sanity&lt;/font&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;Special Research Project of the Quantum Future Group&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; .. .. &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;Imagine - if you can - not having a conscience, none at all, no feelings of guilt or remorse no matter what you do, no limiting sense of concern for the well-being of strangers, friends, or even family members. Imagine no struggles with shame, not a single one in your whole life, no matter what kind of selfish, lazy, harmful, or immoral action you had taken. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;And pretend that the concept of responsibility is unknown to you, except as a burden others seem to accept without question, like gullible fools. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;Now add to this strange fantasy the ability to conceal from other people that your psychological makeup is radically different from theirs. Since everyone simply assumes that conscience is universal among human beings, hiding the fact that you are conscience-free is nearly effortless. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;You are not held back from any of your desires by guilt or shame, and you are never confronted by others for your cold-bloodedness. The ice water in your veins is so bizarre, so completely outside of their personal experience, that they seldom even guess at your condition.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt; In other words, you are completely free of internal restraints, and your unhampered liberty to do just as you please, with no pangs of conscience, is conveniently invisible to the world. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;You can do anything at all, and still your strange advantage over the majority of people, who are kept in line by their consciences will most likely remain undiscovered.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt; How will you live your life? &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;What will you do with your huge and secret advantage, and with the corresponding handicap of other people (conscience)? &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;The answer will depend largely on just what your desires happen to be, because people are not all the same. Even the profoundly unscrupulous are not all the same. Some people - whether they have a conscience or not - favor the ease of inertia, while others are filled with dreams and wild ambitions. Some human beings are brilliant and talented, some are dull-witted, and most, conscience or not, are somewhere in between. There are violent people and nonviolent ones, individuals who are motivated by blood lust and those who have no such appetites. [...]&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;Provided you are not forcibly stopped, you can do anything at all. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;If you are born at the right time, with some access to family fortune, and you have a special talent for whipping up other people's hatred and sense of deprivation, you can arrange to kill large numbers of unsuspecting people. With enough money, you can accomplish this from far away, and you can sit back safely and watch in satisfaction. [...]&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;Crazy and frightening - and real, in about 4 percent of the population....&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;The prevalence rate for anorexic eating disorders is estimated a 3.43 percent, deemed to be nearly epidemic, and yet this figure is a fraction lower than the rate for antisocial personality. The high-profile disorders classed as schizophrenia occur in only about 1 percent of [the population] - a mere quarter of the rate of antisocial personality - and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention say that the rate of colon cancer in the United States, considered "alarmingly high," is about 40 per 100,000 - one hundred times lower than the rate of antisocial personality. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;The high incidence of sociopathy in human society has a profound effect on the rest of us who must live on this planet, too, even those of us who have not been clinically traumatized. The individuals who constitute this 4 percent drain our relationships, our bank accounts, our accomplishments, our self-esteem, our very peace on earth. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;Yet surprisingly, many people know nothing about this disorder, or if they do, they think only in terms of violent psychopathy - murderers, serial killers, mass murderers - people who have conspicuously broken the law many times over, and who, if caught, will be imprisoned, maybe even put to death by our legal system. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;We are not commonly aware of, nor do we usually identify, the larger number of nonviolent sociopaths among us, people who often are not blatant lawbreakers, and against whom our formal legal system provides little defense.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;Most of us would not imagine any correspondence between conceiving an ethnic genocide and, say, guiltlessly lying to one's boss about a coworker. But the psychological correspondence is not only there; it is chilling. Simple and profound, the link is the absence of the inner mechanism that beats up on us, emotionally speaking, when we make a choice we view as immoral, unethical, neglectful, or selfish. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;Most of us feel mildly guilty if we eat the last piece of cake in the kitchen, let alone what we would feel if we intentionally and methodically set about to hurt another person. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;Those who have no conscience at all are a group unto themselves, whether they be homicidal tyrants or merely ruthless social snipers.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;The presence or absence of conscience is a deep human division, arguably more significant than intelligence, race, or even gender. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;What differentiates a sociopath who lives off the labors of others from one who occasionally robs convenience stores, or from one who is a contemporary robber baron - or what makes the difference betwen an ordinary bully and a sociopathic murderer - is nothing more than social status, drive, intellect, blood lust, or simple opportunity. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;What distinguishes all of these people from the rest of us is an utterly empty hole in the psyche, where there should be the most evolved of all humanizing functions.

They are also, of course, "irresponsible," "self-destructive," and the like. These descriptions highlight the great frustrations and puzzles that surround the study of psychopathy.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt; Psychopaths seem to have in abundance the very traits most desired by normal persons. The untroubled self-confidence of the psychopath seems almost like an impossible dream and is generally what "normal" people seek to acquire when they attend assertiveness training classes. In many instances, the magnetic attraction of the psychopath for members of the opposite sex seems almost supernatural.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt; Cleckley's seminal hypothesis concerning the psychopath is that he suffers from a very real mental illness indeed: a profound and incurable affective deficit. If he really feels anything at all, they are emotions of only the shallowest kind. He does bizarre and self-destructive things because consequences that would fill the ordinary man with shame, self-loathing, and embarrassment simply do not affect the psychopath at all. What to others would be a disaster is to him merely a fleeting inconvenience.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt; Cleckley also gives grounds for the view that psychopathy is quite common in the community at large. He has collected some cases of psychopaths who generally function normally in the community as businessmen, doctors, and even psychiatrists. Some researchers see criminal psychopathy - often referred to as anti-social personality disorder - as an extreme of a "normal" personality dimension (or dimensions). &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;We would characterize criminal psychopaths as "unsuccessful psychopaths." The implication, of course, is that many psychopaths may exist in society who &lt;i&gt;cope better&lt;/i&gt; than do those who come to the attention of the judicial and welfare systems.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt; Harrington goes so far as to say that the psychopath is the &lt;em&gt;new man being produced by the evolutionary pressures of modern life&lt;/em&gt;. Other researchers criticize this view, pointing out the real disabilities that the clinical psychopath also suffers.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;The study of "ambulatory" psychopaths - what we call "The Garden Variety Psychopath" - has, however, hardly begun. Very little is known about &lt;i&gt;subcriminal psychopathy&lt;/i&gt;. However, some researchers have begun to seriously consider the idea that it is important to study psychopathy not as an artificial clinical category but as a &lt;i&gt;general personality trait in the community at large&lt;/i&gt;. In other words, psychopathy is being recognized as a more or less a &lt;em&gt;different type of human&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;One very interesting aspect of the psychopath is his "hidden life" that is sometimes not too well hidden. It seems that the psychopath has a regular need to take a "vacation into filth and degradation" the same way normal people may take a vacation to a resort where they enjoy beautiful surroundings and culture. To get a full feeling for this strange "need" of the psychopath - a need that seems to be evidence that "acting human" is very stressful to the psychopath - read more of &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vcXVhbnR1bWZ1dHVyZS5uZXQvc3RvcmUvaW5kZXgucGhw" target="_blank"&gt;The Mask of Sanity, chapters 25 and 26.&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Also, read &lt;a href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vd3d3LmNhc3Npb3BhZWEuY29tL2Nhc3Npb3BhZWEvaW5uZXJwc3ljaG8uaHRt" target="_blank"&gt;Cleckley's speculations&lt;/a&gt; on what was "really wrong" with these people. He comes very close to suggesting that they are human in every respect - but that they lack a soul. &lt;/b&gt;This lack of "soul quality" makes them very efficient "machines." They can be brilliant, write scholarly works, imitate the &lt;em&gt;words&lt;/em&gt; of emotion, but over time, it becomes clear that their words do not match their actions. They are the type of person who can claim that they are devastated by grief who then attend a party "to forget." The problem is: they really DO forget. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;Being very efficient machines, like a computer, they are able to execute very complex routines designed to elicit from others support for what they want. In this way, many psychopaths are able to reach very high positions in life. It is only over time that their associates become aware of the fact that their climb up the ladder of success is predicated on violating the rights of others.&lt;b&gt;"Even when they are indifferent to the rights of their associates, they are often able to inspire feelings of trust and confidence."&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;&lt;b&gt;The psychopath recognizes no flaw in his psyche, no need for change. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; .. &lt;p class="titleLinkTable" align="center"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Psychopaths In the New Age &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;At the present time, there is a veritable explosion of reports from our readers about their experiences with individuals they have encountered in the "alternative research" fields, as well as in general interactions of their lives. What is so shocking is the number of such individuals that must exist, based on these reports. This is not just an occasional event, it seems to be almost a pandemic! &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;Our research team and egroup have been engaged for some time in researching and analyzing these interactions and the characteristics and the dynamics and the personalities. Our research has led us to identify them with "Psychopaths." They can also be Narcissists since Narcissism seems to be merely a "facet" of the psychopath or a "milder" manifestation. You could say that the Narcissist is a "garden variety psychopath" who, because of his or her "social programming," has less likelihood of running afoul of the law. In this way, they are very efficient "survival machines," living out their lives doing untold damage to their families, friends and business associates. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;It is only when a person takes a long and careful look at the full-blown psychopath - a sort of exaggerated Narcissist - that they are able to see the &lt;em&gt;caricature&lt;/em&gt; of the traits that then make it easier for them to identify the "garden variety" psychopath - and/or the Narcissist. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;Our world seems to have been invaded by individuals whose approach to life and love is so drastically different from what has been the established norm for a very long time that we are ill- prepared to deal with their tactics of what &lt;a href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vd3d3LmhhbC1wYy5vcmcvJTdFcmNhbnVwL2luZGV4Lmh0bWw=" target="_blank"&gt;Robert Canup&lt;/a&gt; calls "plausible lie." As he demonstrates, this philosophy of the "plausible lie" has overtaken the legal and administrative domains of our world, turning them into machines in which human beings with real emotions are destroyed. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;The recent movie, "The Matrix," touched a deep chord in society because it exemplified this mechanistic trap in which so many people find their lives enmeshed, and from which they are unable to extricate themselves because they believe that everyone around them who "looks human" is, in fact, just like them - emotionally, spiritually, and otherwise.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;Take, for example, the "legal argument" as explicated by &lt;a href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vd3d3LmhhbC1wYy5vcmcvJTdFcmNhbnVwL2luZGV4Lmh0bWw=" target="_blank"&gt;Robert Canup&lt;/a&gt; in his work on the "&lt;a href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vd3d3LmhhbC1wYy5vcmcvJTdFcmNhbnVwL2luZGV4Lmh0bWw="&gt;Socially Adept Psychopath&lt;/a&gt;." The legal argument seems to be at the foundation of our society. This amounts to little more than con-artistry: the one who is the slickest at using the structure for convincing a group of people of something, is the one who is believed. Because this "legal argument" system has been slowly installed as part of our culture, when it invades our personal lives, we normally do not recognize it immediately. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;Human beings have been accustomed to assume that other human beings are - at the very least - trying to "do right" and "be good" and fair and honest. And so, very often, we do not take the time to use due diligence in order to determine if a person who has entered our life is, in fact, a "good person." And when a conflict ensues, we automatically fall into the cultural assumption that in any conflict, one side is partly right one way, and the other is partly right the other, and that we can form opinions about which side is mostly right or wrong. Because of our exposure to the "legal argument" norms, when any dispute arises, we automatically think that the truth will lie somewhere between two extremes. In this case, application of a little mathematical logic to the problem of the legal argument might be helpful. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;Let us assume that in a dispute, one side is innocent, honest, and tells the truth. It is obvious that lying does an innocent person no good; what lie can he tell? If he is innocent, the only lie he can tell is to falsely confess "I did it." But lying is nothing but good for the liar. He can declare that "I didn't do it," and accuse another of doing it, all the while the innocent person he has accused is saying "I didn't do it," and is actually telling the truth. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;The truth - when twisted by good liars, can always make an innocent person look bad - especially if the innocent person is honest and admits his mistakes. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;The basic assumption that the truth lies between the testimony of the two sides always shifts the advantage to the lying side and away from the side telling the truth. Under most circumstances, this shift put together with the fact that the truth is going to also be twisted in such a way as to bring detriment to the innocent person, results in the advantage always resting in the hands of liars - psychopaths. Even the simple act of giving testimony under oath is useless. If a person is a liar, swearing an oath means nothing to that person. However, swearing an oath acts strongly on a serious, truthful witness. Again, the advantage is placed on the side of the liar. [&lt;a href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vd3d3LmhhbC1wYy5vcmcvJTdFcmNhbnVwL2luZGV4Lmh0bWw=" target="_blank"&gt;Robert Canup&lt;/a&gt;] &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;This highlights one of the unique things about the psychopath: &lt;em&gt;their seeming inability to conceive of the abstract idea of "the future.&lt;/em&gt;" &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;It has often been noted that psychopaths have a distinct advantage over human beings with conscience and feelings because the psychopath does not have conscience and feelings. What seems to be so is that conscience and feelings are related to the abstract concepts of "future" and "others." It is "spatio-temporal." We can feel fear, sympathy, empathy, sadness, and so on because we can IMAGINE in an abstract way, the future based on our own experiences in the past, or even just "concepts of experiences" in myriad variations. We can "predict" how others will react because we are able to "see ourselves" in them even though they are "out there" and the situation is somewhat different externally, though similar in dynamic. In other words, we can not only identify with others spatially - so to say - but also temporally - in time. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;The psychopath does not seem to have this capacity. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;They are unable to "imagine" in the sense of being able to really connect to images in a direct "self connecting to another self" sort of way. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;Oh, indeed, they can imitate feelings, but the only real feelings they seem to have - the thing that drives them and causes them to act out different dramas for effect - is a sort of "predatorial hunger" for what they want. That is to say, they "feel" need/want as love, and not having their needs/wants met is described as "not being loved" by them. What is more, this "need/want" perspective posits that only the "hunger" of the psychopath is valid, and anything and everything "out there," outside of the psychopath, is not real except insofar as it has the capability of being assimilated to the psychopath as a sort of "food." "Can it be used or can it provide something?" is the only issue about which the psychopath seems to be concerned. All else - all activity - is subsumed to this drive. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;In short, the psychopath - and the narcissist to a lesser extent - is a predator. If we think about the interactions of predators with their prey in the animal kingdom, we can come to some idea of what is behind the "mask of sanity" of the psychopath. Just as an animal predator will adopt all kinds of stealthy functions in order to stalk their prey, cut them out of the herd, get close to them and reduce their resistance, so does the psychopath construct all kinds of elaborate camoflage composed of words and appearances - lies and manipulations - in order to "assimilate" their prey. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;This leads us to an important quesion: what does the psychopath REALLY get from their victims? It's easy to see what they are after when they lie and manipulate for money or material goods or power. But in many instances, such as love relationships or faked friendships, it is not so easy to see what the psychopath is after. Without wandering too far afield into spiritual speculations - a problem Cleckley also faced - we can only say that it seems to be that the psychopath ENJOYS making others suffer. Just as normal humans enjoy seeing other people happy, or doing things that make other people smile, the psychopath enjoys the exact opposite. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;Anyone who has ever observed a cat playing with a mouse before killing and eating it has probably explained to themselves that the cat is just "entertained" by the antics of the mouse and is unable to conceive of the terror and pain being experienced by the mouse, and the cat, therefore, is innocent of any evil intent. The mouse dies, the cat is fed, and that is nature. Psychopaths don't generally eat their victims. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;Yes, in extreme cases the entire cat and mouse dynamic is carried out and cannibalism has a long history wherein it was assumed that certain powers of the victim could be assimilated by eating some particular part of them. But in ordinary life, psychopaths and narcissists don't go all the way, so to say. This causes us to look at the cat and mouse scenarios again with different eyes. Now we ask: is it too simplistic to think that the innocent cat is merely entertained by the mouse running about and frantically trying to escape? Is there something more to this dynamic than meets the eye? Is there something more than being "entertained" by the antics of the mouse trying to flee? After all, in terms of evolution, why would such behavior be hard-wired into the cat? Is the mouse tastier because of the chemicals of fear that flood his little body? Is a mouse frozen with terror more of a "gourmet" meal? &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;This suggests that we ought to revisit our ideas about psychopaths with a slightly different perspective. One thing we do know is this: many people who experience interactions with psychopaths and narcissists report feeling "drained" and confused and often subsequently experience deteriorating health. Does this mean that part of the dynamic, part of the explanation for why psychopaths will pursue "love relationships" and "friendships" that ostensibly can result in no observable material gain, is because there is an actual energy consumption?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;We do not know the answer to this question. We observe, we theorize, we speculate and hypothesize. But in the end, only the individual victim can determine what they have lost in the dynamic - and it is often far more than material goods. In a certain sense, it seems that psychopaths are soul eaters or "Psychophagic." &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;Conscience seems to depend on the ability to imagine consequences. But most "consequences" relate to pain in some way, and psychopaths really don't understand pain in the emotional sense. They understand frustration of not getting what they want, and to them, that is pain. But the fact seems to be that they act based solely on a sort of Game Theory evaluation of a situation: what will they get out of it, and what will it cost? And these "costs" have nothing to do with being humiliated, causing pain, sabotaging the future, or any of the other possibilities that normal people consider when making a choice. In short, it is almost impossible for normal people to even imagine the inner life of the psychopath.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;This leads us to what psychopaths DO have that is truly outstanding: an ability to give their undivided attention to something that interests them intensely. Some clinicians have compared this to the concentration with which a predator stalks his prey. This is useful if one is in an environment with few variables, but most real life situations require us to pay attention to a number of things at once. Psychopaths often pay so much attention to getting what they want that they fail to notice danger signals.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; .. &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;For example, some psychopaths earned reputations for being fearless fighter pilots during World War II, staying on their targets like terriers on an ankle. Yet, these pilots often failed to keep track of such unexciting details as fuel supply, altitude, location, and the position of other planes. Sometimes they became heroes, but more often, they were killed or became known as opportunists, loners, or hotshots who couldn't be relied on - except to take care of themselves. [Hare]&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; .. &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"; size="2"&gt;It should be emphasized that psychopaths are interesting as all get out - even exciting! They exude a captivating energy that keeps their listeners on the edge of their seats. Even if some part of the normal person is shocked or repelled by what the psychopath says, they are like the mouse hypnotized by the torturing cat. Even if they have the chance to run away, they don't. Many Psychopaths "make their living" by using charm, deceit, and manipulation to gain the confidence of their victims. Many of them can be found in white collar professions where they are aided in their evil by the fact that most people expect certain classes of people to be trustworthy because of their social or professional credentials. Lawyers, doctors, teachers, politicians, psychiatrists and psychologists, generally do not have to earn our trust because they have it by virtue of their positions. But the fact is: psychopaths are found in such lofty spheres also!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;At the same time, psychopaths are good imposters. They have absolutely no hesitation about forging and brazenly using impressive credentials to adopt professional roles that bring prestige and power. They pick professions in which the requisite skills are easy to fake, the jargon is easy to learn, and the credentials are unlikely to be thoroughly checked. Psychopaths find it extremely easy to pose as financial consultants, ministers, psychological counselors and psychologists. And that's a scary thought.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;Psychopaths make their way by conning people into doing things for them; obtaining money for them, prestige, power, or even standing up for them when others try to expose them. But that is their claim to fame. That's what they do. And they do it very well. What's more, the job is very easy because most people are gullible with an unshakable belief in the inherent goodness of man.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;Manipulation is the key to the psychopath's conquests. Initially, the psychopath will feign false emotions to create empathy, and many of them study the tricks that can be employed by the empathy technique. Psychopaths are often able to incite pity from people because they seem like "lost souls" as Guggenbuhl-Craig writes. So the pity factor is one reason why victims often fall for these "poor" people.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;Psychologist Robert Hare cites a famous case where a psychopath was "Man of the Year" and president of the Chamber of Commerce in his small town. (Remember that John Wayne Gacy was running for Jaycee President at the very time of his first murder conviction!) The man in question had claimed to have a Ph.D. from Berkeley. He ran for a position on the school board which he then planned to parlay into a position on the county commission which paid more.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;At some point, a local reporter suddenly had the idea to check up on the guy - to see if his credentials were real. What the reporter found out was that the only thing that was true about this up and coming politician's "faked bio" was the place and date of birth. Everything else was fictitious. Not only was the man a complete impostor, he had a long history of antisocial behavior, fraud, impersonation, and imprisonment. His only contact with a university was a series of extension courses by mail that he took while in Leavenworth Federal Penitentiary. What is even more amazing is the fact that before he was a con-man, he was a "con-boy." For two decades he had dodged his way across America one step ahead of those he had hoodwinked. Along the way he had married three women and had four children, and he didn't even know what had happened to them. And now, he was on a roll! But darn that pesky reporter!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;When he was exposed, he was completely unconcerned. "These trusting people will stand behind me. A good liar is a good judge of people," he said. Amazingly, he was right. Far from being outraged at the fact that they had all been completely deceived and lied to from top to bottom, the local community he had conned so completely to accrue benefits and honors to himself that he had not earned, rushed to his support!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;I kid you not! And it wasn't just "token support." The local Republican party chairman wrote about him: "I assess his genuineness, integrity, and devotion to duty to rank right alongside of President Abraham Lincoln." As Hare dryly notes, this dimwit was easily swayed by words, and was blind to deeds.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;What kind of psychological weaknesses drive people to prefer lies over truth?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;This may have something to do with what is called Cognitive Dissonance. Leon Festinger developed the theory of Cognitive Dissonance in the 50's when he apparently stumbled onto a UFO cult in the Midwest. They were prophesying a coming world cataclysm and "alien rapture." When no one was raptured and no cataclysm he studied the believers response, and detailed it in his book "When Prophecy Fails." Festinger observed: &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; .. &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;A man with a conviction is a hard man to change. Tell him you disagree and he turns away. Show him facts or figures and he questions your sources. Appeal to logic and he fails to see your point. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;We have all experienced the futility of trying to change a strong conviction, especially if the convinced person has some investment in his belief. We are familiar with the variety of ingenious defenses with which people protect their convictions, managing to keep them unscathed through the most devastating attacks. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;But man's resourcefulness goes beyond simply protecting a belief. Suppose an individual believes something with his whole heart; suppose further that he has a commitment to this belief, that he has taken irrevocable actions because of it; finally, suppose that he is presented with evidence, unequivocal and undeniable evidence, that his belief is wrong: what will happen? The individual will frequently emerge, not only unshaken, but even more convinced of the truth of his beliefs than ever before. Indeed, he may even show a new fervor about convincing and converting other people to his view. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; .. &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;It seems that part of the problem has to do with ego and the need to be "right." People with a high "need to be right" or "perfect" seem to be unable to acknowledge that they have been conned. "There is no crime in the cynical American calendar more humiliating than to be a sucker." People will go along with and support a psychopath, in the face of evidence that they have and ARE being conned, because their own ego structure depends on being right, and to admit an error of judgment would destroy their carefully constructed image of themselves.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;Even more amazing is the fact that when psychopaths do get exposed by someone who is not afraid to admit that they have been conned, the psychopath is a master at painting their victims as the "real culprits." Hare cites a case of the third wife of a forty year old high school teacher:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; .. &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;For five years he cheated on me, kept me living in fear, and forged checks on my personal bank account. But everyone, including my doctor and lawyer and my friends, blamed me for the problem. He had them so convinced that he was a great guy and that I was going mad, I began to believe it myself. Even when he cleaned out my bank account and ran off with a seventeen-year-old student, a lot of people couldn't believe it, and some wanted to know what I had done to make him act so strangely!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;Psychopaths just have what it takes to defraud and bilk others: they can be fast talkers, they can be charming, they can be self-assured and at ease in social situations; they are cool under pressure, unfazed by the possibility of being found out, and totally ruthless. And even when they are exposed, they can carry on as if nothing has happened, often making their accusers the targets of accusations of being victimized by THEM.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;I was once dumbfounded by the logic of an inmate who described his murder victim as having benefited from the crime by learning "a hard lesson about life." [Hare]&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; .. &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;The victims keep asking: "How could I have been so stupid? How could I have fallen for that incredible line of baloney?" And, of course, if they don't ask it of themselves, you can be sure that their friends and associates will ask "How on earth could you have been taken in to that extent?"&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;The usual answer: "You had to be there" simply does not convey the whole thing. Hare writes:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; .. &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;What makes psychopaths different from all others is the remarkable ease with which they lie, the pervasiveness of their deception, and the callousness with which they carry it out.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;But there is something else about the speech of psychopaths that is equally puzzling: their frequent use of contradictory and logically inconsistent statements that usually escape detection. Recent research on the language of psychopaths provides us with some important clues to this puzzle, as well as to the uncanny ability psychopaths have to move words - and people- around so easily. […] &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; .. &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;Here are some examples:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; .. &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;When asked if he had ever committed a violent offense, a man serving time for theft answered, "No, but I once had to kill someone."&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;A woman with a staggering record of fraud, deceit, lies, and broken promises concluded a letter to the parole board with, "I've let a lot of people down… One is only as good as her reputation and name. My word is as good as gold."&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;A man serving a term for armed robbery replied to the testimony of an eyewitness, "He's lying. I wasn't there. I should have blown his fucking head off."&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; .. &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;From an interview with serial killer Elmer Wayne Henley:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; .. &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;Interviewer: "You make it out that you're the victim of a serial killer, but if you look at the record you're a serial killer."&lt;br /&gt; Henley: "I'm not."&lt;br /&gt; I: "You're not a serial killer?"&lt;br /&gt; H: "I'm not a serial killer."&lt;br /&gt; I: You're saying you're not a serial killer now, but you've serially killed."&lt;br /&gt; H: "Well, yeah, that's semantics."&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;And so on. The point that the researchers noted was that psychopaths seem to have trouble monitoring their own speech. What is more, they often put things together in strange ways, such as this series of remarks from serial killer Clifford Olson: "And then I had annual sex with her." "Once a year?" "No. Annual. From behind." "Oh. But she was dead!" "No, no. She was just unconscientious." About his many experiences, Olson said, "I've got enough antidotes to fill five or six books - enough for a trilogy." He was determined not to be an "escape goat" no matter what the "migrating facts." [Hare, Without Conscience]&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; .. &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;Those of us who have had experiences with psychopaths know that the language of the psychopath is two-dimensional. They are, as someone once said, as "deep as a thimble." An analogy is given of the psychopath as a color blind person who has learned how to function in the world of color by special strategies. They may tell you that they "stopped at a red light," but what it really means to them is that they knew that the light at the top means "stop," and they stopped. They call it the "red" light like everyone else, but they have no experience of what "red" really is.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;A person who is color blind who has developed such coping mechanisms, is virtually undetectable from people who see colors. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;Psychopaths use words about emotions the same way people who are color blind use words about colors they cannot perceive. Psychopaths not only learn to use the words more or less appropriately, they learn to pantomime the feeling. But they never HAVE the feeling.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;This quality of the mind of the psychopath has been extensively tested with word association tests while the subjects are hooked up to an EEG. Words that have emotional content evoke larger brain responses than do neutral words which is apparently a reflection of the large amount of information that can be packed into a word. For most of us, the word cancer can instantly bring to mind not only the description of the disease, but also fear, pain, concern, or whatever, depending upon our experiences with cancer - whether we or someone we love has had it, or if it had some impact on our lives, and so on. The same is true with many words in our collective and individual vocabularies. And, unless we had a traumatic experience with it, a word such as box or paper will be neutral.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;Psychopaths respond to all emotional words as if they were neutral. It is as if they are permanently condemned to operate with a Juvenile Dictionary. Hare writes:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; .. &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;Earlier I discussed the role of "inner speech" in the development and operation of conscience. It is the emotionally charged thoughts, images, and internal dialogue that give the "bite" to conscience, account for its powerful control over behavior, and generate guilt and remorse for transgressions. This is something that psychopaths cannot understand. For them, conscience is little more than an intellectual awareness of rules others make up - empty words. The feelings needed to give clout to these rules are missing.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; .. &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;What is more, just as the color blind individual may never know he is color blind unless he is given a test to determine it, the psychopath is unable to even be aware of his own emotional poverty. They assume that their own perceptions are the same as everyone else's. They assume that their own lack of feeling is the same for everyone else. And make no mistake about it: you can NOT hurt their feelings because they don't have any! They will pretend to have feelings if it suits their purposes or gets them what they want. They will verbalize remorse, but their actions will contradict their words. They know that "remorse" is important, and "apologies" are useful, and they will give them freely, though generally in words that amount to blaming the victim for needing to be apologized to.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;And this is why they are so good at using Game Theory. And unless we learn the rules of how they think, they will continue to use it on us with devastating results. Normal people HURT when treated cruelly and insensitively. Psychopaths only feign being hurt because they perceive hurt as not getting what they wanted, and tried to get by manipulation!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;In the book &lt;em&gt;Violent Attachments&lt;/em&gt;, women and men have noted the particular stare of the psychopath - it is an intense, relentless gaze that seems to preclude his destruction of his victim or target. Women, in particular, have reported this stare, which is related to the "predatorial" (reptilian) gaze; it is as if the psychopath is directing all of his intensity toward you through his eyes, a sensation that one woman reported as a feeling of "being eaten." They tend to invade peoples' space either by their sudden intrusions or intimidating look-overs (which some women confuse for sexuality.) &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;Another extremely interesting study had to do with the way psychopaths move their hands when they speak. Hand movement can tell researchers a lot about what are called "thought units." The studies indicate that psychopaths' thoughts and ideas are organized into small mental packages. This is handy for lying, but makes dealing with an overall, coherent, integrated complex of deep thoughts virtually impossible.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;Most people are able to combine ideas that have consistent thought themes, but psychopaths have great difficulty doing this. Again, this suggests a genetic restriction to what we have called the Juvenile Dictionary. Not only are they using extremely restricted definitions, they cannot, by virtue of the way their brains work, do otherwise. Virtually all of the research on psychopaths reveals an inner world that is banal, sophomoric, and devoid of the color and detail that generally exists in the inner world of normal people. This goes a long way to explain the inconsistencies and contradictions in their speech.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; .. &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;The situation is analogous to a movie in which one scene is shot under cloudy conditions and the next scene - which supposedly takes place a few minutes later - is shot in brilliant sunshine. […] Some moviegoers - the victims of psychopaths - might not notice the discrepancy, particularly if they are engrossed in the action.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; .. &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;Psychopaths are notorious for not answering the questions asked them. They will answer something else, or in such a way that the direct question is never addressed. They also phrase things so that some parts of their narratives are difficult to understand. This is not careless speech, of which everyone is guilty at times, but an ongoing indication of the underlying condition in which the organization of mental activity suggests something is wrong. It's not what they say, but how they say it that gives insight into their true nature.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;But this raises, again, the question: if their speech is so odd, how come smart people get taken in by them? Why do we fail to pick up the inconsistencies? &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;Part of the answer is that the oddities are subtle so that our general listening mode will not normally pick them up. But my own experience is that some of the "skipped" or oddly arranged words, or misused words are automatically reinterpreted by OUR brains in the same way we automatically "fill in the blank" space on a neon sign when one of the letters has gone out. We can be driving down the road at night, and ahead we see M_tel, and we mentally put the "o" in place and read "Motel." Something like this happens between the psychopath and the victim. We fill in the "missing humanness" by filling in the blanks with our own assumptions, based on what WE think and feel and mean. And, in this way, because there are these "blank" spots, we fill them in with what is inside us, and thus we are easily convinced that the psychopath is a great guy - because he is just like us! We have been conditioned to operate on trust, and we always try to give the "benefit of the doubt." So, there are blanks, we "give the benefit of the doubt," and we are thereby hoisted on our own petard.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; .. &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;Psychopaths view any social exchange as a "feeding opportunity," a contest or a test of wills in which there can be only one winner. Their motives are to manipulate and take, ruthlessly and without remorse. [Hare]&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; .. &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;One psychopath interviewed by Hare's team said quite frankly: "The first thing I do is I size you up. I look for an angle, an edge, figure out what you need and give it to you. Then it's pay-back time, with interest. I tighten the screws." Another psychopath admitted that he never targeted attractive women - he was only interested in those who were insecure and lonely. He claimed he could smell a needy person "the way a pig smells truffles."&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;The callous use of the old, the lonely, the vulnerable, the disenfranchised, the marginalized, is a trademark of the psychopath. And when any of them wake up to what is happening, they are generally too embarrassed to complain.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;One of the chief ways psychopaths prey on others is to make use of the normal person's need to find meaning or purpose in life. They will pose as grief counselors, or "experts" of various sorts that attract followings of people who are looking for answers. They are masters of recognizing "hang-ups" and self-doubts that most people have, and they will brazenly pander to them to gain a follower to use later. Hare tells of a staff psychologist in a mental hospital whose life was destroyed by a psychopathic patient. He cleaned out her bank account, maxed out her credit cards, and then disappeared. How did he get to her? She said that her life had been "empty" and she had just simply succumbed to his sweet words and verbal caresses. As we already know, such words are cheap legal tender to the psychopath. They can say "I'll pray for you," or "I love you" just to create an impression. It really, really doesn't mean a thing. But some people are so lonely and so desperate that even imitations are better than nothing.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;Then, of course, there are people who are just simply so psychologically damaged themselves that the psychopath is the obvious choice for a partner. They may have a need to be treated badly, or a need to be excited by danger, or a need to "rescue" or "fix" somebody whose soul is in obvious peril.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; .. &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;In a book about Richard Ramirez, the Satan-worshipping "night Stalker," the author described a young coed who sat through the pretrial hearings and sent love letters and photographs of herself to Ramirez. "I feel such compassion for him. When I look at him, I see a real handsome guy who just messed up his life because he never had anyone to guide him," she is reported to have said. [Hare]&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; .. &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;Sadly, as we see, psychopaths have no lack of victims because so many people are ready and willing to play the role. And in many, many cases, the victim simply refuses to believe the evidence that they are being victimized. Psychological denial screens out knowledge that is painful, and persons with large investments in their fantasies are often unable to acknowledge that they are being deceived because it it too painful. Most often, these are women who rigidly adhere to the traditional role of the female with a strong sense of duty to be a "good wife." She will believe that if she tries harder or simply waits it out, her husband will reform. When he ignores her, abuses her, cheats on her, or uses her, she can simply just decide to "try harder, put more energy into the relationship, and take better care of him." She believes that if she does this, eventually he will notice and will see how valuable she is, and then he will fall on his knees in gratitude and treat her like a queen.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;Dream on.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;The fact is, such a woman, with her fierce commitment to such a man, her dedication to being a proper wife, has allowed such fairy tales to distort her sense of reality. The reality is that she is doomed to a lifetime of abuse and disappointment until "death do us part."&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;One of the basic assumptions of psychotherapy is that the patient needs and wants help for distressing or painful psychological and emotional problems. The psychopath does not think that they have any psychological or emotional problems, and they see no reason to change their behavior to conform to standards with which they do not agree. They are well-satisfied with themselves and their inner landscape. They see nothing wrong with they way they think or act, and they never look back with regret or forward with concern. They perceive themselves as superior beings in a hostile world in which others are competitors for power and resources. They feel it is the optimum thing to do to manipulate and deceive others in order to obtain what they want.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;Most therapy programs only provide them with new excuses for their behavior as well as new insights into the vulnerabilities of others. Through psychotherapy, they learn new and better ways of manipulating. What they do NOT do is make any effort to change their own views and attitudes.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;One particular psychopath studied by Hare and his team of researchers was in a group therapy program in a prison. The prison psychiatrist had written in his record: "He has made good progress… He appears more concerned about others and to have lost much of his criminal thinking."&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;Two years later, Hare's staff member interviewed the man. At this point, it ought to be made clear that, in order to make the research more accurate, the terms were that nothing said by the subjects to Hare or his staff could or would be repeated to the prison authorities, and they kept to their agreement in order to insure that the subjects felt free to talk to them. Psychopaths, if they know that they won't be penalized for what they express, are very happy to boast about their prowess in deceiving others. The man, assessed above by his prison psychiatrist as having made such remarkable improvement, was described by Hare's staffer as "the most terrifying offender she had ever met and that he openly boasted about how he had conned the prison staff into thinking that he was well on the road to rehabilitation. "I can't believe those guys," he said. "Who gave them a license to practice? I wouldn't let them psychoanalyze my dog! He'd shit all over them just like I did."&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;Psychopaths are not "fragile" individuals, as Robert Hare says after years of research. What they think and do is produced from a "rock solid personality structure that is extremely resistant to outside influences." Many of them are protected for years from the consequences of their behavior by well-meaning family and friends. As long as their behavior remains unchecked or unpunished, they continue to go through life without too much inconvenience.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;Some researchers think that psychopathy is the result of some attachment or bonding difficulty as an infant. Dr. Hare has turned the idea around, after all his years digging into the background of psychopaths. He says:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; .. &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;In some children the very failure to bond is a symptom of psychopathy. It is likely that these children lack the capacity to bond readily, and that their lack of attachment is largely the result, not the cause, of psychopathy. [Hare]&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; .. &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;In other words: they are born that way and you can't fix them.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;To many people, the idea of a child psychopath is almost unthinkable. But the fact is, true psychopaths are born, not made. Oh, indeed, there is the psychopath that is "made," but they are generally different from the born psychopath in a number of ways.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;The fact is, clinical research clearly demonstrates that psychopathy does not spring unannounced into existence in adulthood. The symptoms reveal themselves in early life. It seems to be true that parents of psychopaths KNOW something is dreadfully wrong even before the child starts school. Such children are stubbornly immune to socializing pressures. They are "different" from other children in inexplicable ways. They are more "difficult," or "willful," or aggressive, or hard to "relate to." They are difficult to get close to, cold and distant and self-sufficient.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;One mother said: "We were never able to get close to her even as an infant. She was always trying to have her own way, whether by being sweet, or by having a tantrum. She can put on a sweet and contrite act…"&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;The fact is: childhood psychopathy is a stark reality, and failing to recognize it can lead to years of vain attempts to discover what is wrong with a child, and the parent blaming themselves. Hare writes:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; .. &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;As the signs of social breakdown grow more insistent, we no longer have the luxury of ignoring the presence of psychopathy in certain children. Half a century ago Hervey Cleckley and Robert Lindner warned us that our failure to acknowledge the psychopaths among us had already triggered a social crisis. Today our social institutions - our schools, courts, mental health clinics - confront the crisis every day in a thousand ways, and the blindfold against the reality of psychopathy is still in place.[…]&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;The last decade has seen the emergence of an inescapable and terrifying reality: a dramatic surge of juvenile crime that threatens to overwhelm our social institutions. […] Children under the age of ten who are capable of the sort of mindless violence that once was reserved for hardened adult criminals. […] At this writing, a small town in a western state is frantically searching for ways to deal with a nine-year-old who allegedly rapes and molests other children at knife point. He is too young to be charged and cannot be taken into care because "such action may only be taken when the child is in danger, not his victims," according to a child protection official. [Hare]&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; .. &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;Why does it seem that we have a veritable epidemic of psychopaths? Sociobiologists are suggesting that increasing psychopathy is an expression of a particular genetically based reproductive strategy. Simply put, most people have a couple of children and devote a lot of time and effort to their care. Psychopaths systematically mate with and abandon large numbers of women. They waste little of their energy raising children, and in this way, psychopathic genes are being propagated like wildfire. The sociobiologists aren't saying that the sexual behavior of people is consciously directed, only that "nature" has made them a certain way so that it will happen effectively.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;The behavior of female psychopaths reflects the same strategy. "I can always have another," one female psychopath coldly replied when questioned about an incident in which her two-year-old daughter was beaten to death by one of her many lovers. When asked why she would want to have another child, (two had been taken into protective custody), she said "I love children." Again we see that the expressed emotion is in contradiction to the behavior.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;Cheating skills seem to have an adaptive value in our society. The fact is: psychopaths often end up on the top of the heap, John Forbes Nash, for example..................................&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vd3d3LmNhc3Npb3BhZWEuY29tL2Nhc3Npb3BhZWEvcHN5Y2hvcGF0aC5odG0="&gt;Click here for the full article + links&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1554887552845443191-4259403895882682904?l=overmuch.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://overmuch.blogspot.com/feeds/4259403895882682904/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1554887552845443191&amp;postID=4259403895882682904' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1554887552845443191/posts/default/4259403895882682904'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1554887552845443191/posts/default/4259403895882682904'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://overmuch.blogspot.com/2008/02/re-psychopath-mask-of-sanity.html' title='RE: The Psychopath - &quot;The Mask of Sanity&quot;'/><author><name>Peggy Carter</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_T66Zcma3eso/SO7DMwRURuI/AAAAAAAABLc/RZAe2diFIug/S220/ppht47.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1554887552845443191.post-3223772338702916888</id><published>2008-01-24T06:50:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-01-24T06:52:45.534-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Think You Know All There Is About Oklahoma City?</title><content type='html'>----------------- Bulletin Message -----------------&lt;br /&gt;From: &lt;&gt;Jennifer&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Date: Jan 23, 2008 10:19 AM&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Think You Know All There Is About Oklahoma City???&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;----------------- &gt;HypoChris&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Date: Jan 23, 2008 6:10 AM&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;----------------- Bulletin Message -----------------&lt;br /&gt;From: &gt;Anti-NWO&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Date: Jan 23, 2008 6:20 AM&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;----------------- Bulletin Message -----------------&lt;br /&gt;From:&gt;dont B stupid U moron!

The bombing in Oklahoma City can be seen as a test put forth to the American people, to see how much the "powers that be" could get away with. We at &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vd3d3LnZpc2liaWxpdHk5MTEuY29tLw=="&gt;Visibility 9-11&lt;/a&gt; urge all of our listeners to research and study the OKC bombing case and to help spread the word about the ongoing 12+ year cover-up in Oklahoma.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;We begin our Special Report on the OKC bombing with Oklahoma City Bombing survivor VZ Lawton. Mr. Lawton discusses his experiences on April 19, 1995 when multiple bombs ripped through the Alfred P. Murrah federal building in Oklahoma City. One hundred and sixty eight people were killed that day in an event which has been widely compared to the events of 9-11, some referring to the bombing as the 'Prelude to 9-11'. Mr. Lawton also discusses his work with the&lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vd3d3Lm9rY2JvbWJpbmcubmV0Lw=="&gt; Oklahoma City Bombing Investigation Committee&lt;/a&gt; and the current efforts to get a Congressional investigation about what really happened in OKC.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Our special report on the Oklahoma City bombing continues and welcomes Oklahoma State Representative &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vd3d3LmNoYXJsZXNrZXkuY29tLw=="&gt;Charles Key&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;strong&gt; &lt;u&gt;Representative Key was in office on the day of April 19, 1995 when multiple bombs ripped through the Alfred P. Murrah federal building in Oklahoma City.&lt;/u&gt; One hundred and sixty eight people were killed and scores of others injured as a result of, what was then, the worst terrorist act on American soil.

In the book Tom McVeigh does the same exact thing that Tim McVeigh did in real life. But I am sure you will tell me it is a cooincidence down to the only difference being that his name was tom and not tim? =I dont think so.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;font size="2"&gt; &lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;/font&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;- In early April 1995 a Ryder truck identical to the one used in the bombing was filmed by a pilot during an overflight of of an area near Camp Gruber-Braggs, Oklahoma. A June 17th, 1997 Washington Post article authenticates the photos as being exactly what they appear to be, photos of a Ryder truck in a clandestine base at Camp Gruber-Braggs. Why were the military in possession of a Ryder truck housed in a remote clandestine army base days before the Alfred P. Murrah bombing?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;font size="2"&gt; &lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;/font&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;- In a 1993 letter to his sister, McVeigh claimed that he was approached by military intelligence and had joined an "elite squad of government paid assassins." McVeigh often contradicted himself and changed his story on a whim to fit in with the latest government version of events. Is the Camp Grafton footage evidence of McVeigh's enrollment in such a clandestine program?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;font size="2"&gt; &lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;/font&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;- The FBI claimed McVeigh scouted the Alfred P. Murrah building weeks before the bombing and yet on the morning of the attack he stopped at a local gas station to ask directions.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;font size="2"&gt; &lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;/font&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;- Original reports of two explosions and several failed devices being defused by bomb squads were buried by the establishment as the official explanation that McVeigh acted alone was pushed.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;font size="2"&gt; &lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;/font&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;- Many eyewitnesses reported that bomb squads in full reaction gear were seen around the building immediately before the blast.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;font size="2"&gt; &lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;/font&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowScriptAccess="never" allowNetworking="internal" height="355" width="425" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/xO3hmELmIO4&amp;rel=1"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;param name="allowScriptAccess" value="never" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;param name="allowNetworking" value="internal" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/xO3hmELmIO4&amp;rel=1" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowScriptAccess="never" allowNetworking="internal" height="355" width="425" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/hBofHeXxyqc&amp;rel=1"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;param name="allowScriptAccess" value="never" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;param name="allowNetworking" value="internal" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/hBofHeXxyqc&amp;rel=1" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowScriptAccess="never" allowNetworking="internal" height="355" width="425" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/r7Sipn9npq4&amp;rel=1"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;param name="allowScriptAccess" value="never" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;param name="allowNetworking" value="internal" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/r7Sipn9npq4&amp;rel=1" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowScriptAccess="never" allowNetworking="internal" height="355" width="425" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/d7YCCduzahw&amp;rel=1"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;param name="allowScriptAccess" value="never" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;param name="allowNetworking" value="internal" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/d7YCCduzahw&amp;rel=1" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowScriptAccess="never" allowNetworking="internal" height="355" width="425" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/GOBIUGBTB9w&amp;rel=1"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;param name="allowScriptAccess" value="never" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;param name="allowNetworking" value="internal" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/GOBIUGBTB9w&amp;rel=1" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;font size="2"&gt; &lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;/font&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;- &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.sltrib.com/SEARCH/ci_5271117&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oklahoma City bombing conspirator Terry Nichols says a high-ranking FBI official "apparently" was directing Timothy McVeigh in the plot to blow up a government building and might have changed the original target of the attack, according to a new affidavit filed in U.S. District Court in Utah.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The official and other conspirators are being protected by the federal government "in a cover-up to escape its responsibility for the loss of life in Oklahoma," Nichols claims in a Feb. 9 affidavit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Documents that supposedly help back up his allegations have been sealed to protect information in them, such as Social Security numbers and dates of birth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The U.S. Attorney's Office in Utah had no comment on the allegations. The FBI and Justice Department in Washington, D.C., also declined comment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nichols does not say what motive the government would have to be involved in the bombing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The affidavit was filed in a lawsuit brought by Salt Lake City attorney Jesse Trentadue, who believes his brother's death in a federal prison was linked to the Oklahoma City bombing. The suit, which seeks documents from the FBI under the federal Freedom of Information Act, alleges that authorities mistook Kenneth Trentadue for a bombing conspirator and that guards killed him in an interrogation that got out of hand.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;font size="2"&gt; &lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;/font&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Trentadue's death a few months after the April 19, 1995, bombing was ruled a suicide after several investigations. The government has adamantly denied any wrongdoing in the death.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In his affidavit, Nichols says he wants to bring closure to the survivors and families of the attack on the Alfred B. Murrah Federal Building, which took 168 lives. He alleges he wrote then-Attorney General John Ashcroft in 2004, offering to help identify all parties who played a role in the bombing but never got a reply.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nichols is serving a life sentence at the U.S. Penitentiary Administrative Maximum Facility in Florence, Colo. McVeigh, who carried out the bombing, was executed in 2001.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;McVeigh and Nichols were the only defendants indicted in the bombing. However, Nichols alleges others were involved.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;McVeigh told him he was recruited for undercover missions while serving in the military, according to Nichols. He says he learned sometime in 1995 that there had been a change in bombing target and that McVeigh was upset by that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"There, in what I believe was an accidental slip of the tongue, McVeigh revealed the identity of a high-ranking FBI official who was apparently directing McVeigh in the bomb plot," Nichols says in the affidavit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nichols also says that McVeigh threatened him and his family to force him to rob Roger Moore, an Arkansas gun dealer, of weapons and explosives. He later learned the robbery was staged so Moore, who was in on the phony heist, could deny any knowledge of the bombing plot if the stolen items were traced back to him, Nichols claims.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He adds that Moore allegedly told his attorney that he would not be prosecuted in connection with the bombing because he was a "protected witness."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Moore could not be reached for comment Tuesday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In addition, Nichols says McVeigh must have had help building the bomb. The device he and McVeigh built the day before the bombing did not resemble the one that ultimately was used, Nichols says, and "displayed a level of expertise and sophistication" that neither man had.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;font size="2"&gt; &lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;/font&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Original reports of two explosions and several failed devices being defused by bomb squads were buried by the establishment as the official explanation that McVeigh acted alone was pushed. Scientific analysis conducted by General Benton K. Partin revealed core columns were blown out from within the building and the extensive damage to the Alfred P. Murrah building was completely inconsistent with the explanation of a single and relatively weak fertilizer truck bomb.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;font size="2"&gt; &lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;/font&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vd3d3LndoYXRyZWFsbHloYXBwZW5lZC5jb20vUkFOQ0hPL1BPTElUSUNTL09LL1BBUlRJTi9vazEuaHRt" target="_blank"&gt;Intro to the Oklahoma City Bombing Report&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vd3d3LndoYXRyZWFsbHloYXBwZW5lZC5jb20vUkFOQ0hPL1BPTElUSUNTL09LL1BBUlRJTi9vazIuaHRt" target="_blank"&gt;PART ONE: Bomb Damage Analysis&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vd3d3LndoYXRyZWFsbHloYXBwZW5lZC5jb20vUkFOQ0hPL1BPTElUSUNTL09LL1BBUlRJTi9vazMuaHRt" target="_blank"&gt;PART TWO: Analysis of Graphic Evidence&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vd3d3LndoYXRyZWFsbHloYXBwZW5lZC5jb20vUkFOQ0hPL1BPTElUSUNTL09LL1BBUlRJTi9vazQuaHRt" target="_blank"&gt;PART THREE: Analysis of Photographic Evidence&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vd3d3LndoYXRyZWFsbHloYXBwZW5lZC5jb20vUkFOQ0hPL1BPTElUSUNTL09LL1BBUlRJTi9vazUuaHRt" target="_blank"&gt;PART FOUR: Conclusion and Appendix&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vd3d3LndoYXRyZWFsbHloYXBwZW5lZC5jb20vUkFOQ0hPL1BPTElUSUNTL09LL1BBUlRJTi9vazYuaHRt" target="_blank"&gt;Letter from Heidelberg to Judge David L.

Police officer Terence Yeakey, &lt;a href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vd3d3LmFwZm4ub3JnL0FQRk4veWVha2V5Lmh0bQ==" target="_blank"&gt;http://www.apfn.org/APFN/yeakey.htm&lt;/a&gt; who helped save dozens of victims, was one such witness. Yeakey compiled extensive files on his observations but was later found with his throat and wrists slashed having also been shot in the head after he had told friends he was being followed by authorities.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;font size="2"&gt; &lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;/font&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;- Several individuals received prior warning that the bombing was about to take place. Bruce Shaw, who rushed to the Murrah building to find his wife who was employed there with the Federal Credit Union, testified that an ATF agent told him that ATF staff had been warned on their pagers not to come to work that day.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;font size="2"&gt; &lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;/font&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;The Trentadue Documents&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The following documents can be viewed by clicking the links below, and they can also be navigated in order from the &lt;a href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vaW50ZWx3aXJlLmVnb3BsZXguY29tLzF0cmVudGFkdWUuaHRtbA==" target="_blank"&gt;first page&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With all of these documents, the important point to remember is that the FBI has fought against disclosing them, despite various legal obligations to do so, including as part of discovery in the federal trials of Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols. The author of this Web site does not necessarily stipulate that every lead reported within the documents is provably true, but many of them are highly credible and all of them are worthy of further journalistic investigation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The documents were filed as exhibits in Jesse Trentadue's FOIA lawsuit against the FBI and have been credibly authenticated during the course of those proceedings. They were provided to INTELWIRE by Trentadue. The dates provided usually reflect the date the document was created, but in some cases may reflect the date the document was received and filed by FBI headquarters.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some documents contain signficant redactions. The documents were provided to Trentadue in redacted form by an undisclosed source. One document has additional redactions added by INTELWIRE out of privacy concerns. The specific redaction is noted in the index below, and an unredacted version is available for mainstream journalists interested in pursuing this story.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vaW50ZWx3aXJlLmVnb3BsZXguY29tLzF0cmVudGFkdWUuaHRtbA==" target="_blank"&gt;FBI TELETYPE, AUGUST 1995&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;..&lt;em&gt;White supremacists planned to bomb U.S. targets&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;..&lt;em&gt;Unnamed suspect may have assisted McVeigh&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This redacted document is connected to the OKBOMB investigation (the FBI's code name for the Oklahoma City bombing).

Court records confirm that McVeigh telephoned the complex shortly before the OKC bombing, and numerous reports have suggested links between McVeigh and Nichols, Elohim City and the Aryan Republican Army, a bank robbery gang whose members were white separatists who stated that the proceeds of their robberies would be used to fund terrorist attacks on the U.S. government.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On &lt;a href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vaW50ZWx3aXJlLmVnb3BsZXguY29tLzJ0cmVudGFkdWUuaHRtbA==" target="_blank"&gt;page two&lt;/a&gt; of the document, an unidentified informant (name redacted) is quoted as saying that unidentified individuals at Elohim City have explosive devices which they intend to use on various targets around the U.S. Meetings on such plans are described, but the names of the participants have been redacted.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On page three of the document, the writer states that "[redacted name] also indicated that [redacted name] may have assisted McVeigh in the Oklahoma City bombing."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vaW50ZWx3aXJlLmVnb3BsZXguY29tLzR0cmVudGFkdWUuaHRtbA==" target="_blank"&gt;FBI]&lt;strong&gt;FBI TELETYPE, JANUARY 1996&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;..&lt;em&gt;McVeigh phone call to Elohim City, 4/17/1995&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;..&lt;em&gt;Suspect cited for relationship to McVeigh&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;..&lt;em&gt;4/17 call was to seek additional conspirators&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This document dealing with BOMBROB, the bank robbery investigation involving Richard Guthrie, has been significantly redacted.

The rest of the report appears to represent speculation on the part of the informant, but certain sections are so heavily redacted that it is impossible to know for sure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vaW50ZWx3aXJlLmVnb3BsZXguY29tLzE3dHJlbnRhZHVlLmh0bWw=" target="_blank"&gt;FBI]&lt;strong&gt;FBI TELETYPE, 1/11/96&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;..&lt;em&gt;Redacted information on suspect links&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This OKBOMB case teletype also discusses information obtained from the SPLC. The document is OKBOMB related and refers to relationships between individuals whose names have been redacted.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vaW50ZWx3aXJlLmVnb3BsZXguY29tLzE4dHJlbnRhZHVlLmh0bWw=" target="_blank"&gt;FBI]&lt;strong&gt;FBI TELETYPE, 1/20/96&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;..&lt;em&gt;Heavily redacted&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;..&lt;em&gt;McVeigh 4/17 call to suspect identified&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;..&lt;em&gt;Suspect reported to plan flight from country&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This heavily redacted OKBOMB document contains extensive information on individuals whose names have been excised.

(According to the SPLC informant,) "McVeigh attempted to telephonically contact [redacted] on or about April 17, 1995, while [name redacted] was residing in Elohim City."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Massive portions of the page that follows are redacted but appear to contain reports from numerous confidential witnesses (CW) relating to the above claim.

According to the document, "In November 1993, [redacted] met Timothy McVeigh [long passage redacted] is described as a white male, DOB (date of birth) [redacted] POB (place of birth) [redacted]. He is a [redacted] who [redacted] with help from [redacted] somewhere in [redacted] and [redacted].

[redacted] latest information is that [redacted] of Elohim City, saw McVeigh being led out of the courthouse on television and at that time, [redacted] was told to [redacted]."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Virtually all of the remaining document is redacted, except for a notation that the information may be valuable to the FBI's legat (legal attache) in London, who was investigating the background of an individual whose name has been redacted.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vaW50ZWx3aXJlLmVnb3BsZXguY29tLzI2dHJlbnRhZHVlLmh0bWw=" target="_blank"&gt;FBI]&lt;strong&gt;FBI TELETYPE, FBI HQ TO LEGAT BONN, 1/26/1996&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;..&lt;em&gt;Andreas Strassmeir likely subject of document&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;..&lt;em&gt;Documents seized by OK police, contents redacted&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although this document has been heavily redacted, one can reasonably speculate that it deals with German national Andreas Strassmeir, an Elohim City resident who has been linked to the BOMBROB suspects and also to the Oklahoma City investigation. Strassmeir was the son of a high-ranking German government official, according to British newspaper &lt;a href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vd3d3Lm15c3BhY2UuY29t" target="_blank"&gt;The Guardian&lt;/a&gt;. Strassmeir reportedly met McVeigh at a gun show in 1993.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The teletype says that [name redacted] may be an associate of Timothy McVeigh," and reiterates several phrases from the &lt;a href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vaW50ZWx3aXJlLmVnb3BsZXguY29tLzE4dHJlbnRhZHVlLmh0bWw=" target="_blank"&gt;teletype of 1/20/96&lt;/a&gt;, suggesting both documents may primarily concern Strassmeir (who reportedly fled the country in 1996).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even more importantly in terms of furthering this investigation, the teletype states that it provided to the FBI several documents received from confidential sources regarding Elohim City. "Among these documents were documents [redacted] relating to [redacted] Some documents have the heading [redacted]. One document appears to be a [redacted] dated [redacted]. One document [redacted] is entitled [redacted]. This document certifies that [redacted]. The course included instruction in [redacted]."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The remainder of the document is heavily redacted, often inexplicably so, such as the removal of apparent references to Terry Nichols and Michael Fortier, known subjects in the investigation whose identities hardly need to be concealed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vaW50ZWx3aXJlLmVnb3BsZXguY29tLzM5dHJlbnRhZHVlLmh0bWw=" target="_blank"&gt;TESTIMONY]&lt;strong&gt;TESTIMONY OF CAROL HOWE, APRIL 24, 1997&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;..&lt;em&gt;Informant gave ATF prior warning of attacks&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;..&lt;em&gt;Evidence of ATF warnings intentionally suppressed&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The following sections of court transcripts record a sealed hearing concerning ATF informant Carol Howe, a resident of Elohim City at the time of the bombing. This material was suppressed, apparently with the explicit purpose of excluding it from consideration in the trial of Timothy McVeigh.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The transcript indicates that Ms. Howe had previously been an informant for the ATF and was re-activated after the Oklahoma City bombing. Ms. Howe's ATF handler was questioned during the hearing. The explosive portion of the transcript (&lt;a href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vaW50ZWx3aXJlLmVnb3BsZXguY29tLzQ1dHJlbnRhZHVlLmh0bWw=" target="_blank"&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt;) states that Ms. Howe informed the ATF -- prior to the Oklahoma City bombing -- that Andy Strassmeir had threatened to bomb U.S. federal buildings, and that Howe accompanied Elohim City residents on a trip to Oklahoma City of unclear intent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the presiding judge's own words, "We have got evidence that the ATF took a trip with somebody who said that buildings were going to be blown up in Oklahoma City before it was blown up, or something of that nature."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vaW50ZWx3aXJlLmVnb3BsZXguY29tLzUwdHJlbnRhZHVlLmh0bWw=" target="_blank"&gt;FBI]&lt;strong&gt;FBI FD-302 INFORMANT REPORT ON DAVID HOLLAWAY, 2/25/1997&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;..&lt;em&gt;Informant reports OKC suspicions regarding alleged white supremacist&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This report details an informant's conversation with Dave Hollaway, a Special Forces veteran with alleged ties to white supremacist groups. The information in this report is unsubstantiated and should not be construed as evidence of guilt, but the document is clearly relevant to the OKBOMB investigation and is included here as such.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to the document, Hollaway was associated with CAUSE, a white supremacist foundation and had acted as an intermediary on occasion between the federal government and militant white supremacist groups. According to the informant, Hollaway presented himself as a member of such groups.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The &lt;a href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vaW50ZWx3aXJlLmVnb3BsZXguY29tLzUxdHJlbnRhZHVlLmh0bWw=" target="_blank"&gt;document states&lt;/a&gt; that Hollaway claimed to have spoken with Timothy McVeigh two days before the Oklahoma City bombing. Hollaway critiqued the placement of the truck bomb used in the attack and provided details on the construction of such bombs, according to the document&amp;183;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vaW50ZWx3aXJlLmVnb3BsZXguY29tLzUydHJlbnRhZHVlLmh0bWw=" target="_blank"&gt;FD-302,]&lt;strong&gt;FD-302, FBI INTERRGOGATION OF DAVID HOLLAWAY, 8/13/1996&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;..&lt;em&gt;FBI inteviews alleged white supremacist about alleged McVeigh call&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In this record of an FBI interview with Hollaway, Hollaway appears to confirm the general points raised in the preceding document, including his affiliation with the CAUSE foundation. Hollaway said he received a call on April 18, 1995, from an unidentified caller which had threatening overtones in the context of the following day's events. He claimed that he informed the FBI of the call via a tip hotline on April 20, 1995, and that FBI agents subsequently followed up with him by phone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;INTELWIRE has removed some personally identifying information about Hollaway from the original form due to privacy considerations.

The Today programme asked Lord Guthrie, formerly chief of the defence staff, and Sir Kevin Tebbit, until recently the senior civil servant at the Ministry of Defence, if parliament should decide whether or not this country goes to war. The discussion was a terrifying exposure of the privileges of unaccountable power. It explained as well as anything I have heard how Britain became party to a crime that might have killed a million people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lord Guthrie argued that parliamentary approval would mean that intelligence had to be shared with MPs; that the other side could not be taken by surprise (”do you want to warn the enemy you are going to do it?”), and that commanders should have “a choice about when to attack and when not to attack”. Sir Kevin maintained that “no prime minister would be able to deploy forces without being able to command a parliamentary majority. In that sense the executive is already accountable to parliament.” Once the prime minister has his majority, in other words, MPs become redundant. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let me dwell for a moment on what Lord Guthrie said, for he appears to be advocating that we retain the right to commit war crimes. States in dispute with each other, the UN Charter says, must first seek to solve their differences by “peaceful means”(article 33)(1). If these fail, they should refer the matter to the Security Council (&amp;#035;37), which decides what measures should be taken (&amp;#035;39). Taking the enemy by surprise is a useful tactic in battle, and encounters can be won only if commanders are able to make decisions quickly. But either Lord Guthrie does not understand the difference between a battle and a war - which is unlikely in view of his 44 years of service(2) - or he does not understand the most basic point in international law. Launching a surprise war is forbidden by the charter. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It has become fashionable to scoff at these rules and to dismiss those who support them as pedants and prigs, but they are all that stand between us and the greatest crimes in history. The International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg ruled that “to initiate a war of aggression … is not only an international crime; it is the supreme international crime”(3). the tribunal’s charter placed “planning, preparation, initiation or waging of a war of aggression”(4) at the top of the list of war crimes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If Britain’s most prominent retired general does not understand this, it can only be because he has never been forced to understand it. In September 2002, he argued in the House of Lords that “the time is approaching when we may have to join the United States in operations against Iraq. …Strike soon, and the threat will be less and easier to handle. If the United Nations route fails, I support the second option.”(5) No one in the chamber warned him that he was proposing the supreme international crime. In another debate in the Lords, Guthrie argued that it was “unthinkable for British service men and women to be sent to the International Criminal Court”, regardless of what they might have done(6). He demanded a guarantee from the government that this would not be allowed to happen, and proposed that the British armed forces should be allowed to opt out of the European Convention on Human Rights. The grey heads murmured their agreement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perhaps it is unfair to single out the noble and gallant lord. The exceptionalism of the British establishment is almost universal. According to the government, both the Commons public administration committee and the Lords constitution committee recognise that decision-making should “provide sufficient flexibility for deployments which need to be made without prior parliamentary approval for reasons of urgency or necessary operational secrecy.”(7) You cannot keep an operation secret from parliament unless you are also keeping it secret from the UN. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sir Kevin appears to have a general aversion to disclosure. In 2003 the Guardian obtained letters showing that he had prevented the fraud squad at the ministry of defence from investigating allegations of corruption against the arms manufacturer BAE, that he tipped off the chairman of BAE about the contents of a confidential letter the Serious Fraud Office had sent him and that he failed to tell his minister about the fraud office’s warnings(8). In October 2003, under intense cross-examination during the Hutton inquiry into the death of the government scientist David Kelly, he revealed that the decision to name Dr Kelly was made in a “meeting chaired by the Prime Minister.”(9) That could have been the end of Blair, but a week later Sir Kevin quietly sent Lord Hutton a written retraction of his evidence(10). No one bothered to tell parliament or the press; the retraction was made public only when the Hutton report was published, three months later(11). Blair knew all along, and the secret gave him a crushing advantage(12). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The discussion also reveals that Guthrie and Tebbit appear to have learnt nothing from the disaster in Iraq. They are not alone. Soon before he stepped down last year, Tony Blair wrote an article for the Economist called What I’ve Learned(13). He had discovered, he claimed, that his critics were both wrong and dangerous and that his decisions, based on “freedom, democracy, responsibility to others, but also justice and fairness” were difficult but invariably right. He called his article “a very short synopsis of what I have learned”. I could think of an even shorter one. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have yet to hear one word of regret or remorse from any of the major architects - Blair, Brown, Straw, Hoon, Campbell and their principal advisers - of Britain’s participation in the supreme international crime. The press and parliament appear to have heeded Blair’s plea that we all “move on” from Iraq. The British establishment has a unique capacity to move on, and then to repeat its mistakes. What other former empire knows so little of its own atrocities? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When people call our unwritten constitution a “gentleman’s agreement”, they reveal more than they intend. It allows the unelected gentlemen who advise the prime minister to act without reference to the proles. Britain went to war in Iraq because the public and parliament were not allowed to know when the decision was made, what the intelligence reports really said, and what the attorney-general wrote about the legality of an invasion. Had the truth not been suppressed, our armed forces could never have attacked Iraq. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Real constitutional reform requires much more than the timid proposals in the green paper on the governance of Britain, which are likely to appear in a new bill in a few weeks’ time. Yes, parliament should be allowed to vote on whether to go to war, yes the Royal Prerogative should be rolled back. But the prime minister, his diplomats, civil servants and generals would still decide which wars parliament needs to know about, which crimes could be secretly committed in our name. Real constitutional reform means not only handing power to parliament; it also means confronting the power of the cold, unaccountable people who act as if it is their birthright.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;References: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. http://www.un.org/aboutun/charter/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.

Let me get this straight....Renegade cop tasers a pregnant woman holding a baby in her arms on tape and his "superiors" are going to look in to the case to see if any rules wer3e broken but the bad cop is in real trouble for his myspace page showing all the dope and confiscated cash they pull in to pay for the "Policeman's Ball"....and for "joyriding" his police cruiser at over 100MPH!  Golly gosh! No cop in history has ever done that before...have they? LMAO!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, about that pregnant woman?  What happens if the baby is born with a major birth defect, autism or learning disabilities?  Maybe mom's a smoker and they can blame it on  evil tobacco!  The point is, if a cop will taser a pregnant woman holding a baby, naked people inside their own homes or elderly schizophrenic women in wheelchairs...where do you think that puts you on the list of targets?  Guidelines?  If it moves....shoot that sucker!&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;----------------- Bulletin Message -----------------&lt;br /&gt;From: &lt;a href='http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vcHJvZmlsZS5teXNwYWNlLmNvbS9pbmRleC5jZm0/ZnVzZWFjdGlvbj11c2VyLnZpZXdwcm9maWxlJmZyaWVuZGlkPTIxOTA0MDM1NiZNeVRva2VuPWZiNmI0MTdiLTI1OWUtNGZmNy05NTUyLWVlYmZkYmUxNDY3Yg=='&gt;The Ghost of Andy Kaufman&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Date: Dec 8, 2007 9:03 PM&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;center&gt;Thank you &lt;a href='http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vcHJvZmlsZS5teXNwYWNlLmNvbS9pbmRleC5jZm0/ZnVzZWFjdGlvbj11c2VyLnZpZXdwcm9maWxlJmZyaWVuZGlkPTE1ODExNDEzMCZNeVRva2VuPTk1OWU5MDRhLTk1NmMtNDhjZC1iNTM4LWYyMzlmNGQyYzE3ZA=='&gt;Lorie For Kucinich&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowScriptAccess="never" allowNetworking="internal" height="370" width="450" data="http://www.liveleak.com/player.swf"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

If you like to participate and you are in the area and have any contributions you would like to help out in any way, shape of form possible,ust reach me on here: &lt;b&gt;http://www.myspace.com/smut911&lt;/b&gt; or Email me at: &lt;b&gt;kingguinea@thesmut.net&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'd be more than glad to meet up or make arrangements to gather what you are able to gather to redistribute whatever you may be able to offer. Its icy cold out tin NYC and the surrounding areas so whatever you can do to help contribute would be much appreciated. There is never enough blankets, sleeping bags and tents to be put to use so anything will be of use.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'd also like to encourage you to also do this in your area, if you are too far from NYC. Its time we take it upon ourselves to fix this country because no one is going to do it for us, nor for the people who need it most. Lets show that we don't need to depend on our officials to fix things, no one dies or goes hungry on our watch. Time to have each other's backs and show that we can do it on our own. We need to get these people back on their feet and/or at least help them survive another day. After all everyone is human and no one deserves to have nothing. Lets give people hope and a reason for people to want to live another day. Even if it is one person that you may want to focus on to help them get back on their toes, at least it is one person less feeling hopeless.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So if you'd like to help out in the NYC area or if you need some advice or ideas to make it happen in your neighborhood, just let me know. Even if you think all that homeless people want is to catch a little buzz... let them be... everyone deserves a little treat,you know? They don't have much else to have a little fun, treat em.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Make people's day... everyone needs some kind of hope. And like I said... if you have anything to offer, would be much appreciated. Its time for a wake up call... Officials in power aren't going to do anything to fix this dump, then it is up to the people.

It grows. It's a massive, floating 'garbage patch.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Located in the Pacific Ocean between California and Hawaii and measuring in at roughly twice the size of Texas, this elusive mass is home to hundreds of species of marine life and is constantly expanding. It has tripled in size since the middle of the 1990s and could grow tenfold in the next decade.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although no official title has been given to the mass yet, a popular label thus far has been "The Great Pacific Garbage Patch."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As suggested by the name, the island is almost entirely comprises human-made trash. It currently weighs approximately 3.5 million tons with a concentration of 3.34 million pieces of garbage per square kilometer, 80 per cent of which is plastic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Due to the Patch's location in the North Pacific Gyre, its growth is guaranteed to continue as this Africa-sized section of ocean spins in a vortex that effectively traps flotsam.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Few visitors&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The cause for the Patch's relative lack of acknowledgment is that the portion of the Pacific it occupies is almost entirely unvisited. It lacks the wind to attract sailing vessels, the biology to encourage fishing, and is not in the path of major shipping lanes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What little air movement there is blows inwards, further trapping the garbage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to an article in the San Francisco Chronicle, Marcus Eriksen, a director at the Algatita Marine Research Foundation, said that "with the winds blowing in and the currents in the gyre going circular, it's the perfect environment for trapping."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While the trash is in the ocean, it is doing what could be irreparable harm to sea life, the water it's in, and eventually humans.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Plastic resists biodegrading. Instead, a plastic shopping bag or pop bottle will photo-degrade over time, meaning that it will break down into smaller and smaller pieces but retain its original molecular composition.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The result is a great amount of fine plastic sand that resembles food to many creatures.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unfortunately, the plastic cannot be digested, so sea birds or fish can eventually starve to death with a stomach full of plastic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even if the amount of plastic in a creature's body is not enough to block the passage of food, the small pellets act as sponges for several toxins, concentrating chemicals such as DDT to 1 million times the normal level.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This concentration then works its way up the food chain until a fish is served at our dinner table.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;A deadly shining&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some birds, attracted to the shining in the ocean, approach the Great Pacific Garbage Patch in search of food. Marine researchers have commented that pelicans dissected in that area have stomachs so full of lighters that they resemble convenience stores. Sea turtles are also prone to mistaking plastic bags for jelly fish, which then cause their deaths or sit in their guts for the decades it takes the bags to break down.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In total, 267 species have been reported to have eaten from, or become entangled in, the Patch.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to Chris Parry of the California Coastal Commission, regrettably little can be done to clean up the Patch, although many urge that a decreased reliance on plastic is the first step.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"At this point," said Parry, "cleaning it up isn't an option . . . it's just going to get bigger as our reliance on plastics continues."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The long-term solution is to stop producing as much plastic products at home and change our consumption habits."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cleaning up the Patch will likely cost billions of dollars and, as an approximation, be more difficult than vacuuming every inch of the United States.

It was in November 2004 that George Bush’s forces played havoc with that city and its unfortunate inhabitants in the name of God. While the American media chose to remain blind to the utter horror of it all, busy as it was with keeping a close watch over the life and death of Terri Schindler Schiavo, Dr. Hafidh al-Dulaimi, the head of "the Commission for the Compensation of Fallujah citizens" reported the destruction that American troops inflicted on Fallujah. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to the report, there were some 7000 totally destroyed, or nearly totally destroyed, homes in all districts of Fallujah. 8400 stores, workshops, clinics, warehouses, etc. were completely destroyed. 65 mosques and religious sanctuaries were demolished. 59 kindergartens, primary schools, secondary schools and technical colleges were flattened. 13 government buildings leveled. Four libraries, that housed thousands of ancient Islamic manuscripts and books, were gutted completely. The number of human beings slaughtered in those buildings, of course, is any body’s guess. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here once again is a reprint of the article that was one of the first to report the atrocities to the truth seekers in America, and to the world at large, amid a chorus of applause, accusations and denials.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anwaar Hussain&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I Am Become Death - The Destroyer of the Worlds&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By Anwaar Hussain&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The crimson waters of the Euphrates are now emptying into the Persian Gulf the hopes and aspirations of innocent people whose lives were snuffed out on the orders of a man rewarded for his monumental crimes by his great nation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Known as the "city of mosques" for its more than 200 mosques, Fallujah is also known for refusing to add Saddam’s name to the call for prayers from its ancient minarets. It is located on the banks of river Euphrates, the largest river in Southwest Asia. The 1700 miles long Euphrates is linked with some of the most important events in olden history.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The city of Ur, found at its mouth, was the birthplace of Abraham. On its banks stood the city of Babylon. In the past, the army of Necho was defeated on its banks by Nebuchadnezzar. Cyrus the Younger and Crassus perished after crossing it. Alexander traversed it and continued his journey eastward. Presently, George Bush’s forces are crossing and re-crossing it making its waters redder each time with the blood of Fallujah’s citizens.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fallujah has been laid waste. It has been bombed, re-bombed, its citizens gunned down, its structures devastated by powerful weapons. It is a hell on earth of crushed bodies, shattered buildings and the reek of death. In addition to the artillery and the warplanes dropping 500, 1000, and 2000-pound bombs, 70-ton Abrams Tanks and the murderous AC-130 Spectre gunship that can demolish a whole city block in less than a minute, the Marines had snipers crisscrossing the entire town firing at will at whatever moved outside the buildings. For those inside, the US troops were equipped with thermal sights capable of detecting body heat. Any such detection was eagerly assumed to indicate the presence of "insurgents" inviting a deadly salvo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No body has an accurate idea of how many Iraqis, combatants and noncombatants, have been killed by the thousands of tons of explosives and bullets let loose upon the city. Mortuary teams collecting the dead rotting in the city streets are fighting the wandering dogs that are busy devouring their former masters. The hundreds buried beneath the rubble and debris will be dug out later. A US marine spokesman, Colonel Mike Regner, estimated 1,000 and 2,000 Iraqis dead. The world is awaiting the toll from more reliable sources with a wincing anticipation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eyewitnesses report human corpses littering the city’s streets, nibbled at by starving canines. Parents have been forced to watch their wounded children die and then bury their bodies in their gardens. An Iraqi journalist, reporting in the city for the BBC and Reuters, said: "I have seen some strange things recently, such as stray dogs snatching bites out of bodies lying on the streets. Meanwhile, people forage in their gardens looking for something to eat. Those that have survived this far are looking gaunt. The opposite is happening to the dead, left where they fell, they are now bloated and rotting…"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some images that did manage to filter through the layers of American censorship include scenes of the devastated landscape of the city; the bloodied and fly-covered corpses of young Iraqi men lying in the streets or heaped in rows amidst the debris; a headless body; women and children escaping with the few possessions they have left; mortuary teams collecting the dead; and Fallujah infants being treated for horrific injuries in Baghdad hospitals. US general John Sattler declared: "We have liberated the city of Fallujah."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The assault on Fallujah is a pure and simple Nazi-style collective punishment, not liberation. The city has been razed to the ground because its political, spiritual and tribal leaders, motivated by Iraqi patriotism and opposition to the presence of foreign troops in their country, organized a guerilla resistance to the US invasion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The aim of the US assault is to make Fallujah a model to the rest of Iraq of what will happen to those thinking on similar lines. It is the leading thrust of an orgy of killing intended to crush and drive underground every voice of dissent and ensure that elections this coming January will throw up a weak-willed, pro-US toady regime. The American military is rumored to be planning similar attacks on scores of other Iraqi cities and towns.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not a single major voice has been raised in the American media against the ongoing destruction of Fallujah. While much of the world recognizes something dreadful has occurred, the US press does not even bat an eyelash over the organized leveling of a city of 300,000 people. In none of the US media commentaries is there a single phrase of unease about the moral, or legal, questions involved in the attack on Fallujah. None have dared say it in as many words that the American military operation in the city is an unlawful act of aggression in an equally illegal, criminal, aggressive war.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The opposite is true in fact. Ralph Peters, the author of "Beyond Baghdad: Postmodern War and Peace." a rabid Neocon mouthpiece, revered by the ruling Neocons, in his prominently placed November 4 New York Post article wrote: "We need to demonstrate that the US military cannot be deterred or defeated. If that means widespread destruction, we must accept the price. Most of Fallujah’s residents, those who wish to live in peace, have already fled. Those who remain have made their choice. We need to pursue the terrorists remorselessly……That means killing. While we strive to obey the internationally recognized laws of war (though our enemies do not), our goal should be to target the terrorists and insurgents so forcefully that few survive to raise their hands in surrender. We don’t need more complaints about our treatment of prisoners from the global forces of appeasement. We need terrorists dead in the dust. And the world needs to see their corpses…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;…Even if Fallujah has to go the way of Carthage, reduced to shards, the price will be worth it. We need to demonstrate our strength of will to the world, to show that there is only one possible result when madmen take on America."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Though the carnage carried out by Hitler’s regime was on a different scale than that now being committed by the Bush administration, there are striking parallels. For the first time since the Wehrmacht swept through Europe, the world is witnessing a major imperialist power launching an unjustifiable war, placing an entire people under military occupation and carrying out acts of collective and visible punishment against civilian populace. The US media’s wretched connivance in this deception is incredible, as incredible as the fact that this war, based on undeniable lies as it was, was sold to the American people as the gospel truth ordained by God.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To be honest, George Bush is not the first US president ordering the states machinery to pulverize nations and peoples abroad. Even a hurried analysis of the American government’s conduct in the last century makes for a most damning indictment. Out of the US’s past foreign policy woodwork, crawl out numerous invasions, bombings, overthrowing governments, suppressing movements for social change, assassinating political leaders, perverting elections, manipulating labor unions, manufacturing "news", selling blatant lies, death squads, torture, biological warfare, depleted uranium, drug trafficking, mercenaries … you name it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This terrorizing of nations and individuals by various US governments has been going on full bore since at least the late 1890s, when Americans obliterated hundreds of thousands of Filipinos to keep them safe from the Spanish. Millions of Native Americans, the children of a lesser God, were exterminated by the orders of earlier administrations throughout the 19th century. The difference with past is that George Bush does it in the name of his God, a God far superior to any other and sanctioned fully by his coterie. Ironically, both George Bush and his nemesis, Osama Bin Laden, refer to God almost equal number of times in their public pronouncements.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The United States went into Afghanistan to kill or capture Osama Bin Laden. They killed 10,000 innocent Afghans but could not find their man. They went into Iraq to discover and eliminate Saddam’s WMDs. They killed tens of thousands of Iraqis but found no WMD. They laid siege to the city of Fallujah to kill or capture Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi. The city and its inhabitants have been blown to smithereens but there is no Zarqawi. Is it not only too convenient? Next when they want to attack Pakistan, or Iran, they simply have to say that Bin Laden is taking refuge there. Just like the next Iraqi city awaiting the fate of Fallujah will be the latest refuge of Zarqawi; the WMDs too could next fly to Syria or may be even Saudi Arabia. Is one imagining things here? Or is it that the US imperialism is indeed now riding full time on the back of gargantuan lies?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After granting George Bush a carte blanche to do what he likes the American citizens, of course, continue their daily lives oblivious to what is being done in their name. Between their work places and the nearest fast food joints, they just do not have enough time to check back on the activities of the man who is playing 'The Terminator’ in the name of God and in their name.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those who do get to know a little are in a constant state of denial. One thing is sure though. Just like in post-war Germany where some even denied the holocaust, "We didn’t know what was happening" is bound to become a cliché that will one day be used to ridicule Americans who claim ignorance of the atrocities committed by their administration in their name. Ironically, Khomeini died trying to get people to see America as "the great Satan". It took George W. Bush and his cohorts just four years to do exactly that, and not just in the eyes of the Muslim world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As America sinks deeper into the heart of darkness, its thinking citizens need to jolt each other out of their apathy. With each passing day their beloved America is scaling ever greater heights of hideous glories. The man in charge, George W. Bush, is actually living the throes of his apocalyptic dream of "I am become death-the destroyer of the worlds". He codenamed his destruction of Fallujah as "Operation Phantom Fury". But as the falsehood dies and gives way to truth, as all lies must one day, it will be the Iraqi dead that will form a legion of phantoms and would throng around Americans in a macabre dance to haunt them for decades.

A House Homeland Security Subcommittee hearing on "Terrorism and the Internet" held last week, and broadcast on C-Span, featured a panel of "experts", including representatives formerly of the &lt;a href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vd3d3LmhlcmVpbnJlYWxpdHkuY29tL25ld3MvcmFuZC5odG1s"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;RAND Corporation&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;The hearing was chaired by Democratic Rep. Jane Harman, and ranking Republican, Rep. Dave Reichert. It was supposed to focus on the use of the internet by "home grown terrorist recruiters" yet in a shocking move it blatantly related the 9/11 truth movement with so called radical "jihadists". &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;In a very poorly prepared and delivered PowerPoint splurge, Mark Weitzman (pictured far right) stated: &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt; &lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;"Some of these are conspiracy theories that present a closed view of the world, such as blaming 9/11 as an "outside job"(?) or blaming outside groups such as the U.S. government, or er the Jews etc, some of these are pro-Iraqi insurgency videos, some of them are media portals that people can enter into, ones that you saw earlier with the flags, the U.S. flags show that thy were based on U.S. servers..."&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Under the heading &lt;em&gt;"Internet: Incubator of 9/11 Conspiracies and Disinformation&lt;/em&gt;" Weiztman threw in video of WTC building 7 collapsing on 9/11 as posted on various 9/11 truth affiliated websites, along with screen shots of the &lt;a href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vd3d3LmFlOTExdHJ1dGgub3JnLw=="&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; site and other sites, such as Killtown's, who &lt;a href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vOTExYmxvZ2dlci5jb20vbm9kZS8xMjQ5Ng=="&gt;&lt;strong&gt;raised awareness of this&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt; &lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;"We need to be aware of the empowering effect of the internet upon extremists, we must have researchers and responders for both the technical and and linguistic skills to keep us informed and to be able to respond to what is online. We must make users aware of the misinformation and of the techniques used by extremists." Weitzman continued.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;font size="2"&gt;The entire hearing can be viewed online at&lt;/font&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;http://www.c-spanarchives.org/library/index.php?main_page=product_video_info&amp;products_id=202123-1&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Weiztman's presentation represents the latest disgusting effort to lump in the movement to uncover the truth behind the 9/11 attacks, a movement which &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vZ2Vvcmdld2FzaGluZ3Rvbi5ibG9nc3BvdC5jb20vMjAwNy8xMS85MTEtcm9zdGVyLmh0bWw="&gt;includes&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; hundreds of first responders, firefighters, police, former intelligence officials and the largest 9/11 families representative group, with jihad groups and real Islamic extremists in order to demonize it.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Later on in the hearing, former RAND corporation director Bruce Hoffman re-iterated Weitzman's presentation, stating "These falsehoods and conspiracy theories have now become so ubiquitous and so pervasive that they are believed, so you have almost a parallel truth, and it has become a very effective tool for recruiting people."&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Whichever way Hoffman dresses this up, it is plain fact that we have not been given the truth about what happened on 9/11. We have been subject to a "received truth", an official story that when compared with physical evidence does not hold water. In the absence of any real independent investigation, the evidence unearthed during six years of research by individuals and groups who want the truth has made the issue a phenomenon.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;In recent polls up to 80% of Americans do not believe they have been told the truth about 9/11. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vd3d3LnByaXNvbnBsYW5ldC5jb20vYXJ0aWNsZXMvbm92ZW1iZXIyMDA3LzA1MTEwN19pbnNpZGVfam9iLmh0bQ=="&gt;Respected intelligence veterans&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; agree with them. NIST, the body tasked with investigating the collapse of the buildings "cannot explain" why they fell. Yet corporate academics such as Bruce Hoffman continue to insinuate that the truth about 9/11 is and always has been set in stone and any deviation from the official story is a "falsehood".&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;To then implicitly suggest that the millions of Americans who have questioned the government version of events on 9/11 are synonymous with a vast minority of violent extremist radicals is either extremely ill informed or purposefully misleading.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Over recent months we have witnessed &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vd3d3LnByaXNvbnBsYW5ldC5jb20vYXJ0aWNsZXMvbm92ZW1iZXIyMDA3LzAxMTEwN19mcmFtaW5nX3RlcnJvcmlzdHMuaHRt"&gt;a growth in this disturbing trend&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; to attempt to equate peaceful 9/11 researchers and truth activists with violence and extremism. The prime culprits have been establishment "news" hacks who are raising the same talking point ad infinitum, dubbing the global truth movement "anarchists" and violent individuals who may be aiding terrorists.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Talking heads such as Fox News bigot Bill O'Reilly and his frothing caricature Glenn Beck over on CNN, have specifically targeted 9/11 truthers in segments designed to portray the movement as dangerous and sow the seed in the minds of what viewers they have left that peaceful truth seekers are actually in league with violent terrorists.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;People like O'Reilly and Glenn Beck would relish the opportunity to have their baseless allegations "proved right", and should some act of violence or terrorism be carried out, whether real or staged, they would love to blame it on the 9/11 truth movement, in a similar way to how the patriot movement was blamed for the OKC bombing in 1995.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;The bill to which these hearings are tied, &lt;a href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vd3d3LmdvdnRyYWNrLnVzL2NvbmdyZXNzL2JpbGx0ZXh0LnhwZD9iaWxsPWgxMTAtMTk1NQ=="&gt;&lt;strong&gt;H.R. 1955: Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, defines "violent radicalization" as "The process of adopting or promoting an extremist belief system for the purpose of facilitating ideologically based violence to advance political, religious, or social change."&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;It further defines "homegrown terrorism" as "The use, planned use, or threatened use, of force or violence by a group or individual born, raised, or based and operating primarily within the United States or any possession of the United States to intimidate or coerce the United States government, the civilian population of the United States, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives."&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;The bill's reference to how "The Internet has aided in facilitating violent radicalization, ideologically based violence, and the homegrown terrorism process in the United States by providing access to broad and constant streams of terrorist-related propaganda to United States citizens," is shocking.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Remember, the bill is not aimed at "Al-Qaeda" websites or arabic forums that post alleged Bin Laden video tapes, it is aimed at American citizens using American based websites, like the very one you're reading now.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;The opportunity for the state to seize upon &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vZ2Vvcmdld2FzaGluZ3Rvbi5ibG9nc3BvdC5jb20vMjAwNy8wNC90aHJlYXRzLW9mLXZpb2xlbmNlLWFnYWluc3QtOTExLXRydXRoLmh0bWw="&gt;violent posts left by trolls&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; and use them to entrap peaceful 9/11 truthers under the guise that they "promoted violence" should be a major concern for us all.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Our message is simply this - don't even try it.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;We have preached a doctrine of absolute non-violence from the very beginning and we will continue to do so. Anyone who calls for violence in a message board post is either a Fed, a Mom's basement dwelling troll who spends their entire day attempting to debunk the 9/11 truth movement, or a completely deluded moron who is unrepresentative of the vast majority of the 9/11 truth movement.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Those individuals who advocate violence should be sought out and investigated individually. Any plans to try and entrap prominent 9/11 truth movement figures using guilt by association should be abandoned immediately and we will ceaselessly emphasize this point until this current wave of propaganda subsides. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Aside from the attack upon 9/11 truth groups, the depiction of the internet as a whole drawn up by the House Homeland Security Subcommittee hearing is farcical. The panel does it's best to present the entire internet as some sort of vicious hate filled breeding ground for radical murderous terrorists. They give the impression that the youth of America are being recruited in their thousands to take down the country in some sort of monolithic war of civilizations. They depict myspace and youtube in such a way as to leave the average American viewer with the impression that those websites are akin to terror training camps.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;One cannot help being reminded of the film reels of the McCarthy hearings of the early 1950s as the House is presented poorly thrown together slideshows that suggest that there are dangerous terrorists everywhere, on all manner of internet chat rooms, forums and message boards recruiting American teenagers to wage Jihad.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;The informed masses can see through this garbage, they understand that freedom and the peaceful push for truth are the only way to counter any form of extremism. Thus the continued effort by the authorities to diminish civil liberties at home, to wage unprovoked aggression abroad and to demonize those who question such moves is contradictory to their own logic of fighting a "war on terror". Unless, that is, the war on terror is a fraud, perpetuated on a basis of fearmongering power politics.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Action alert:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;If you live in California and Jane Harman is &lt;a href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vd3d3LmhvdXNlLmdvdi9oYXJtYW4vZGlzdHJpY3Qv"&gt;your representative&lt;/a&gt;, please &lt;a href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vd3d3LmhvdXNlLmdvdi9oYXJtYW4vY29udGFjdC8="&gt;alert her to our concerns.&lt;/a&gt; If you're in Washington state and Reichert is &lt;a href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vd3d3LmhvdXNlLmdvdi9yZWljaGVydC9pbWFnZXMvOHRoLkRpc3RyaWN0LmpwZw=="&gt;your rep&lt;/a&gt;, make your feelings &lt;a href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vd3d3LmhvdXNlLmdvdi9yZWljaGVydC9jb250YWN0X2RhdmUuc2h0bWw="&gt;known to him&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;CSPAN has been more than fair to 9/11 truth in the past.

It was at the end of this call that Beamer was heard declaring: "Let's roll," before joining a passenger revolt against the terrorists. Without this now-famous call to battle, 9/11 would arguably have been less effective in motivating the public to get behind the war on terror. By May 2002, the Washington Post reported, Beamer's phrase "Let's roll" had been "Embraced and promoted by President Bush as a patriotic battle cry," and was "now emblazoned on Air Force fighter planes, city firetrucks, school athletic jerseys, and countless T-shirts, baseball caps and souvenir buttons. It's also commemorated in popular songs." [1] The London Evening Standard called Beamer's final words "a symbol of America's determination to fight back." [2] Rowland Morgan, author of the book Flight 93 Revealed, concluded: "Truly, the Let's Roll slogan had become a call to arms--just at a time the White House needed it most." [3] Yet, an examination of Todd Beamer's phone call reveals numerous oddities, coincidences, and seeming impossibilities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;THE ODD PHONE CALL&lt;br /&gt;For 13 minutes, Beamer had spoken with Lisa Jefferson, a customer service supervisor at GTE Airfone's Chicago call center. He explained to her that his plane had been hijacked, and, assisted by a flight attendant sitting next to him, provided details about the flight. He also talked about his pregnant wife and two young sons. Being a devout Christian, he asked Jefferson to recite the Lord's Prayer with him, and then recited the 23rd Psalm. Before declaring his famous last words, Beamer said some of the passengers were going to try and seize control of the plane. At around 9:58 a.m., he put the phone down and was heard saying to someone else: "You ready? OK. Let's roll." [4]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first thing that was odd about this call is the simple fact that Beamer was able to talk to Jefferson continuously for 13 minutes. In her 2002 book, his wife Lisa Beamer revealed that Jefferson had informed her "it was a miracle that Todd's call hadn't been disconnected." The reason: "Because of the enormous number of calls that day, the GTE systems overloaded and lines were being disconnected all around her as she sat at the operator's station outside of Chicago, talking to Todd. [Jefferson] kept thinking, This call is going to get dropped! Yet Todd stayed connected ... all the way to the end." [5] Very fortunate indeed this was, because if the call had become disconnected there would have been no "Let's roll" slogan for the war on terror.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A further oddity was Todd Beamer's remarkable calmness, despite the catastrophic situation he was in. Jefferson recalled: "Todd, when he came to me, he was calm. ... [H]e stayed calm through the entire conversation." [6] In her 2006 book, Called, Jefferson wrote: "[H]is voice was devoid of any stress. In fact, he sounded so tranquil it made me begin to doubt the authenticity and urgency of his call." [7] She told Beamer's wife: "If I hadn't known it was a real hijacking, I'd have thought it was a crank call, because Todd was so rational and methodical about what he was doing." [8]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WHY DIDN'T BEAMER TALK TO HIS WIFE?&lt;br /&gt;At some point during the call, Beamer said he did not think he was going to survive, telling Jefferson: "I know we're not going to make it out of here." [9] He gave her his home phone number and said: "If I don't make it out of this, would you please call my family and let them know how much I love them?" [10] Yet he refused offers to be put through to his wife. Jefferson has recalled: "I asked if he wanted to be connected to his wife." But, "he said no, that he did not want to upset her as they were expecting their third child in January." [11]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, before reaching the call center, Todd Beamer had supposedly been trying to call his wife, but was simply unable to get through. [12] According to a summary of passenger phone calls presented at the 2006 trial of Zacarias Moussaoui, Beamer tried making this call just before 9:44 a.m., but it had been "terminated upon connection." [13] His wife has recalled that she heard her phone ring twice before stopping, and then, moments later, ringing once more. She said: "When I picked it up, it was dead air. I feel fairly confident that it was Todd. It would be on his mind to call me, to protect me." [14] According to some accounts, he reached the call center because his call was automatically routed there when his attempt at reaching his wife failed. [15] (However, other accounts claim he'd reached it by dialing "0" on the Airfone. [16])&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The question remains: If Todd Beamer really did not want to talk to his wife because she was pregnant and he was afraid he might upset her, why had be been trying to phone her in the first place? Even if we somehow accept that he'd changed his mind over the space of a few minutes, another question arises: Why had Beamer not instead asked Jefferson to try and put him through to his parents, or one of his sisters, or another relative, or a friend? Instead, he'd apparently been content to talk with a stranger, explaining to Jefferson: "I just want to talk to somebody and just let someone know that this is happening." [17]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;THE SILENT CRASH OF FLIGHT 93&lt;br /&gt;Perhaps the oddest aspect of the call is what happened after 9:58, when Todd Beamer put the phone down to join the passenger revolt against the hijackers. Jefferson has recalled: "After he said, 'Let's roll,' he left the phone, and I would assume that's at the point that they went to charge the cockpit. And I was still on the line and the plane took a dive, and by then, it just went silent. I held on until after the plane crashed--probably about 15 minutes longer and I never heard a crash--it just went silent because--I can't explain it. We didn't lose a connection because there's a different sound that you use. It's a squealing sound when you lose a connection. I never lost connection, but it just went silent." [18]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now how is this possible? Firstly, how could the call have remained connected after the plane crashed? According to the summary of passenger phone calls presented at the Moussaoui trial, Beamer's call lasted "3,925 seconds." [19] This would mean it did not end until 10:49 a.m., about three-quarters of an hour after Flight 93 supposedly crashed. And, secondly, how could there have been silence when the crash occurred?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WAS BEAMER'S CALL RECORDED?&lt;br /&gt;Considering that Todd Beamer's call is central to the official 9/11 narrative, it would be helpful if a recording of it were available to be properly analyzed. However, all that supposedly exists is a summary written by Jefferson. According to journalist and author Jere Longman: "GTE-Verizon did not routinely tape its telephone calls. As a supervisor, [Jefferson] would have been the one to monitor the taping, but she did not want to risk losing the call." [20] In her own book, Jefferson claimed she had "not had a chance to press the switch in my office that initiates the taping of a conversation." [21] Rowland Morgan has pointed out that this means the evidence of Beamer's call is "single-sourced, unsubstantiated hearsay of which there was no record. ... [Jefferson] had no idea what Beamer's voice sounded like, and she would never hear it again to judge whether he had actually been speaking to her." [22] However, a week after 9/11 the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette had claimed otherwise, stating that, "because it was to an operator," the call "was tape-recorded." [23] If a recording of the call indeed exists, it has been kept well hidden.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Todd Beamer's call in fact only came to light five days after the attacks, in a report in the Post-Gazette. [24] Beamer's wife first learned of it three days after the attacks, in a phone call from United Airlines. Until then, the FBI had been keeping the information private until it had an opportunity to review it. (Yet how long does it take to review a written summary of a 13-minute phone call?) [25] An FBI agent had phoned Lisa Jefferson on the afternoon of 9/11. She recalled: "I was told to maintain secrecy. In fact, he stressed the importance of keeping the matter under wraps." [26] But why? What was there to hide?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;THE SHAKY FOUNDATION OF THE WAR ON TERROR&lt;br /&gt;Clearly, many things seem odd about Todd Beamer's phone call. For now, it is really up to each of us to decide what we think was going on. But it should concern us all that the war on terror is founded upon such dubious evidence. This war, after all, has caused the deaths of thousands of Americans, tens of thousands of Afghans, and over a million Iraqis.
