I scanned this excerpt in from the book, "The Delicate Balance" ,
|
||||
written by John Zajac. 1989-1990 . ISBN Number 0-910311-57-9 .</p>

|

|
||||
<p> Automation
|
||||
----------</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>To understand how 666 relates to this discussion, one needs to explore
|
||||
technology. One pertinent contributor to this technology is the
|
||||
International Business Machines Corporation. IBM developed a laser method
|
||||
of information transfer that has now become universally accepted. Lasers are
|
||||
used for many different applications in society today, such as measuring
|
||||
distances, detecting structural flaws, determining straightness, and so
|
||||
forth. You can see the IBM system at your local supermarket quickly reading
|
||||
prices and controlling inventory as it prints out a list of all purchased
|
||||
items. Since checkers no longer have to punch keys on a register, check-out
|
||||
time and errors are reduced. This system also provides the shopper with an
|
||||
itemized receipt. That receipt information is stored in a central computer,
|
||||
which keeps inventory and indicates what products the store should order, as
|
||||
well as which products should no longer be carried.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>But the use of automation is going considerably further. In fact, in Fresno,
|
||||
California, one of eight regional test cities, a new computer system called
|
||||
Behavior Scan gives shoppers a bar code card that is read at each purchase.
|
||||
The computer then keeps a detailed list of all purchases made by a family,
|
||||
including brands and quantity of each product. This same computer is also
|
||||
attached to the user's home television set to monitor what is being watched.
|
||||
It then selects commercials to be shown to that customer to affect his
|
||||
specific buying habits. While most customers claim that they are not
|
||||
affected by these commercials, the advertising companies have spent a lot of
|
||||
money on research proving otherwise. Is this the start of a more modern
|
||||
version of George Orwell's "1984," the complete control depicted in Vance
|
||||
Packard's 'The Hidden Persuaders' ? Certainly, computers are powerful and
|
||||
indispensable tools. Thanks to computers, paychecks are deposited
|
||||
automatically into checking and savings accounts at predefined rates while
|
||||
many bills and loans are automatically paid on time every month. The system
|
||||
works so well that many institutions give a discount on loans and insurance
|
||||
payments if automatic payment is used (they are more confident that they
|
||||
will be paid and on time). This can convenientiy save time, postage, and
|
||||
worry. The world is positioned to facilitate the ever growing requirements
|
||||
for increased automation and convenience.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The convenience of computers is everywhere. Even a simple inexpensive $3
|
||||
watch contains a computer. No longer does it merely tell time; it also can
|
||||
add and subtract, keep time in three different zones, give the day and the
|
||||
date, and beep at predetermined intervals. Computerized voices in fancy cars
|
||||
warn you if you have not fastened your seat belt, that your oil is low, or
|
||||
that you are almost out of fuel. The proliferation of computers has created
|
||||
a strong dependence on them, for real need and pure convenience. The average
|
||||
American's name is accessed 35 times a day by computer, and this is only the
|
||||
beginning as we become plugged into the ever-growing system.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Our credit card system is also very convenient. Carrying cash is unnecessary
|
||||
and sometimes useless, for example, when renting a car or cashing a check.
|
||||
With a credit card, transactions are easier, and banks are now able (and
|
||||
more then willing), to deduct payment of your credit card bill automatically
|
||||
from your main account.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>In fact, paper money soon may become a thing af the past for three reasons:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>1. The government is concerned about the advances being made in color
|
||||
xerographic technology. Advanced copy machines will soon be able to produce
|
||||
counterfeit bills that are indistinguishable from government issues. The
|
||||
FBI reported that up to 20 percent of people having access to advanced color
|
||||
copiers will produce some counterfeit bills.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>2. The successful introduction of the Smart Card in France and U.S. test
|
||||
cities such as Washington, D.C., and Norfolk, Virginia, may render cash
|
||||
obsolete. This Smart Card, manufactured by Motorola and Toshiba carries a
|
||||
complete history of the user, including a physical description and health
|
||||
record. The card allows direct payment to the seller by instantaneously
|
||||
deducting the purchase amount and any service charges directly from the
|
||||
cardholder's account. Thus, not only is the seller paid immediately but,
|
||||
also, the card companies save millions of dollars by eliminating bad
|
||||
payments and personal bankruptcy debts. Reducing credit card fraud should
|
||||
also save card companies large sums of money. For example, MasterCard could
|
||||
save $25 million annually by eliminating fraudulent cards. By the end of
|
||||
1990, 20 million fraud-resistant cards will be in use in France. Seventeen
|
||||
other countries have agreed to a standard card for all bank machines. Visa,
|
||||
Eurocheque, Eurocard and MasterCard have already agreed to a method to make
|
||||
their cards, systems, and money access interchangeable. Thus, by eliminating
|
||||
checks and voluntary payments, the credit card industry would save 3.2
|
||||
billion dollars per year.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>3. The Federal Government is paying close attention to methods for taxing
|
||||
the $300 billion underground economy in the United States. Unreported income
|
||||
costs the U.S. Treasury $90 billion per year. If cash were eliminated,
|
||||
computers could keep track of all income.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Evidence that cards may soon replace cash (and checks) was provided by Arco
|
||||
service stations and Lucky supermarkets, which announced in September 1986
|
||||
that their pumps and check-out stands now accept automatic teller bank
|
||||
cards. With this system, payment is deducted electronically from the user's
|
||||
bank account before the user received his purchase. Within one month, 6,400
|
||||
service stations and supermarkets in 23 states were fitted with the system.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The gentlemen who came up with the laser reader in supermarkets for IBM
|
||||
also invented the means of placing the same kind of bar code beneath living
|
||||
tissue in one-billionth of a second. This marking is totally invisible to
|
||||
the naked eye, and it can be read only by a certain type of laser. The
|
||||
writing and reading is totally harmless and painless. The inventor
|
||||
demonstrated this system in 1979 by marking salmon as they swam downstream.
|
||||
The fish were totally unaware of the process as the laser burned a code into
|
||||
their flesh. The computer then keeps track of the codes. Years later, these
|
||||
fish will be detected by the same system as they swim back upstream and are
|
||||
forced through fish ladders and chutes. *</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Just as impressive is what Walter Wriston, the chairman of CitiCorp did in
|
||||
1983. He passed a rule within the bank that was later withdrawn as a result
|
||||
of public outcry. His rule stated that unless you were a depositor of $5,000
|
||||
or more, you were not entitled to a teller. This meant that the vast
|
||||
majority of depositors would have to stand in line outside the bank and
|
||||
"talk" to machines. This was an economic move, of course, because banks have
|
||||
had some problems of late. But its message was that people would no longer
|
||||
talk to people. If banks could establish such a policy, then they could make
|
||||
the minimum deposit higher and higher. Finally everything for everyone would
|
||||
be done by machines. The concern is that we are reaching a highly automated
|
||||
state, which if followed to the next logical step might have profound
|
||||
impacts on how we rate life.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Even more startling was an "off the cuff"' statement made by an other
|
||||
chairman of an eastern megabank: He announced that a method is in place that
|
||||
can imprint in human hands a silicon chip the size of the head of a pin.
|
||||
That chip will include not only the person's identification number, Social
|
||||
Security number, name and birthplace, but also his criminal background,
|
||||
educational level financial worth in the community, and his political
|
||||
affiliations.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>* Such a system is currently manufactured by Taymar, Inc., Westminster, CO
|
||||
The U.S. Agriculture Department uses the product for cattle. Will it be
|
||||
used for people in the future?</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>With such a system, the minute someone walked through the door of the bank,
|
||||
he would be sensed and the bank would know who he was, where he came from,
|
||||
what he did, and how much he was worth. All this would occur before a person
|
||||
could reach the counter.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Now this was one step further than even progressive thinkers envisioned.
|
||||
There had been discussions about placing codes on the hand to be used as
|
||||
identification marks, like fingerprints, similar to package bar codes in
|
||||
supermarkets. With such a system you would not need cash or a validated
|
||||
check or even a Smart Card. You could put your hand through a laser and be
|
||||
read by the computer. The store would automatically deduct the amount of the
|
||||
purchase from your account. The method would be efficient in terms of cost,
|
||||
speed, thoroughness, and elimination of bad checks. * But the price of all
|
||||
this automation is individual independence from nameless bureaucrats looking
|
||||
over your shoulder and approving (allowing) every transaction.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The amount of control would be unprecedented: however, the government would
|
||||
immediately know how to put this control to use. People would no longer be
|
||||
able to cheat the government because every time anyone had any money, the
|
||||
government would know about it. The government could collect taxes each time
|
||||
you spent your money, and, thus, there would be no more filing on April
|
||||
15th. It also means that advanced printing and photocopying machines could
|
||||
not be used for counterfeiting. Even a law breaker who traded with stolen
|
||||
goods would have his purchase and sale traced by computer as he tried to
|
||||
move or "spend" funds. The government would monitor every transaction,
|
||||
knowing precisely everyone's location, actions, and worth. Instant
|
||||
evaluations, approval or disapproval, and tax deductions on every individual
|
||||
would be made.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>* Such systems are not in the distant future. Six thousand people in Sweden
|
||||
have accepted a mark on their right hands in a test of a totally cashless
|
||||
society. Tests also have been conducted in Japan and the Dominican Republic
|
||||
in Latin America.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Small wonder that the government likes this idea.
|
||||
Governments have always liked control. They would like to control
|
||||
everything, even the areas they say they do not want to control, such as
|
||||
business, transportation, education, religion, entertainment, and other
|
||||
governments. If this sounds the least bit exaggerated just look at our
|
||||
government's actions regarding the restrictions of business concerning tax
|
||||
credit, labor laws, advertising, antitrust, and corporate subsidies. Even in
|
||||
deregulation, transportation requires licensing, registration, inspection,
|
||||
subsidies, price controls, flight approval, and government flight
|
||||
controllers. Although there may be talk of eliminating the Federal
|
||||
Department of Education there is no attempt to reduce control of school
|
||||
curriculum, subsidies, and even school lunches. Most universities are
|
||||
dependent on federal aid and research grants.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The government controls religion by granting tax exemption to "desired
|
||||
religions" and by making it illegal to pray in school. The government
|
||||
exercises control of entertainment by licensing and or censoring television,
|
||||
radio, movies, and books. The Federal Government also seeks to control other
|
||||
governments by rewarding or threatening them with trade concessions,
|
||||
military or econonic aid, sanctions, or war. The highest people in
|
||||
government, it would seem, want the government to have total control of
|
||||
everything.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>In Orwell's 1984, the government "took over," and everyone was controlled by
|
||||
"Big Brother." In reality, government may take over, not through control of
|
||||
transportation and censorship, but through the economy, the lending
|
||||
institutions, and every financial transaction. Is it too far-fetched to
|
||||
imagine that you may have to take a mark on your hand to be able to buy and
|
||||
sell and exist in a modern society? The technology exists. The chairman of
|
||||
the megabank was asked what it would take to motivate people to put little
|
||||
pieces of silicon under their skin. He answered, "a major catastrophe." He
|
||||
knew people would not do it voluntarily.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Of course if there was a financial or national emergency (catastrophe), the
|
||||
government would exercise unprecedented control, and compliance of citizens
|
||||
would be anything but voluntary.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Central Computing
|
||||
-----------------</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>As mentioned earlier, the impact of computers on society has been enormous.
|
||||
However, their likely future role may be overwhelming. As powerful as
|
||||
computers are, their effectiveness is greatly multiplied when they can
|
||||
communicate with other computers. For example, missile launch command
|
||||
computers talk to U.S. Weather Bureau computers to update the possible
|
||||
flight paths of thousands of Minuteman missiles every hour. Thus, to enhance
|
||||
a system's capabilities, computers need to talk to computers. To sort out
|
||||
the enormous amount of cross-references, a central computer is needed.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The central computer for America is in Texas, and the international computer
|
||||
that ties all the national central computers together is situated in
|
||||
Brussels, Belgium. The Brussels computer is housed in a 13 story building,
|
||||
the first three floors of which are occupied totally by this system's
|
||||
hardware. Because of its size. the Brussels computer is referred to
|
||||
affectionately as "the Beast."</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>This immense computer has enough capacity to store every detail about the
|
||||
lives of every human being on Earth, the information contained in the
|
||||
Library of Congress, and every book ever printed. Having operated for years,
|
||||
it stores a growing volume of information as additional countries tie into
|
||||
it ever more heavily. This allows international banking, interstate banking,
|
||||
and quick credit references. Money can be moved from New York to California
|
||||
or London in minutes. If a deposit is made in a bank other than where the
|
||||
check was drawn, banks usually impose a 5 to 10-day holding period.
|
||||
Actually, this practice is just a means for banks to increase their "float"
|
||||
and thus to increase their profits, since the money is transferred within
|
||||
one day. What happens to the money for the other days? The bank uses it to
|
||||
float shorter loans by which the bank earns interest. Banks typically wait
|
||||
longer to issue credit because they want to use the money for as many days
|
||||
as possible.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Daily manipulation of funds by banks is common. Many banks are forced to
|
||||
move their funds around the globe with the sun to have their reserves where
|
||||
they are needed-in the banks that are open. Even the CIA likes the
|
||||
capability of the central computer because it can check on personnel
|
||||
mobility, foreign trading, and all financial transactions.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Many advanced computers are available with many designations, but one is
|
||||
especially interesting. NCR produced a six-core memory computer with 60
|
||||
bytes per word in conjunction with six bits to the character. It is named
|
||||
and advertised as the 6-60-6 which defines the size and shape of the
|
||||
computer. The only way this can be pronounced is six sixty-six (666). In
|
||||
computer language, 666 has a unique significance.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>A computer is an information retrieval system, and all of its information is
|
||||
stored as numbers. A computer's memory cell has only two states-on and off,
|
||||
or mathematically 1 and 0. Thus, every number must be represented in 1's and
|
||||
0's. We use a decimal system based on 10; thus, it has 10 symbols: 0, 1, 2,
|
||||
3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9. Computers use a binary system using two symbols (0
|
||||
and 1). To manage large numbers, computers use a binary coded decimal system
|
||||
(BCD) which consists of groups of four digits, to make up all numbers. By
|
||||
comparing the groups of number listed below one can find each system's
|
||||
equivalent symbol. Thus, 0011, 0111, 0101 in the binary coded decimal system
|
||||
is equal to our decimal system number 1,375.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Decimal System Binary System</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> 0 - 0000
|
||||
1 - 0001
|
||||
2 - 0010
|
||||
3 - 0011
|
||||
4 - 0100
|
||||
5 - 0101
|
||||
6 - 0110
|
||||
7 - 0111
|
||||
8 - 1000
|
||||
9 - 1001</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>(For various reasons, some computers use Base 8 (0-7) and therefore do not
|
||||
use the last two symbols shown.)</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>As shown in the BCD system, the number 6 is represented by 0110. This is
|
||||
unique because 0110 written backwards or upside-down is still 0110. The
|
||||
only other number in the BCD system with the same property is its complement
|
||||
1001, or 9. (However, not every computer counts past 7.) This consistency is
|
||||
the same in every country in the world, unaffected by language because every
|
||||
computer speaks the same language of "1's" and "0's." Thus, 0110,0110,0110
|
||||
is 666 universally.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>In the Book of Revelation; John said that 666 is the mark of the beast. This
|
||||
number also represents the universal consistency of the computers that will
|
||||
be required to control the world's finances and thus the world's people.
|
||||
When John wrote 1,900 years ago, he did not know anything about the binary
|
||||
number system, computers, or why computers would require binary coded
|
||||
decimals. Yet, he stated emphatically that the mark of the beast is 666.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Is this to say that the endtime beast is merely a building located in
|
||||
Belgium? No! The Brussels computer is no more the beast than a general is
|
||||
an army. The significance is that computerization for financial dominance is
|
||||
the financial beast. The beast is a false god and the worship of that false
|
||||
god. Worship means "worth respect." A false god does not have to assume the
|
||||
figure of a man: It is the physical representation of that which controls,
|
||||
that which is worshipped. So, if people worship the "$" symbol too much for
|
||||
what it can acquire, influence, or accomplish, then that can qualify it as
|
||||
the false god. The Brussels computer is only the figurehead of a vast,
|
||||
soon-to-be indispensable financial network that will control all financial
|
||||
transactions and thus all business and people.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>He who controls the system controls all. What is feared by some is that
|
||||
whoever is in control wiil demand that all take the code (mark) on their
|
||||
hand to be able to buy and sell. Money, credit cards, and checkbooks would
|
||||
be totally eliminated. Everything would be done through the government,
|
||||
through the computer, giving the government total control. The greatest fear
|
||||
is that when receiving the mark, you also may be forced to pledge allegiance
|
||||
to your flag and (as in the days of kings) to your ruler, but in this case
|
||||
the world leader would be the Antichrist. Of course, to have allegiance with
|
||||
the Antichrist is to make a pact with the Devil. If you think that this
|
||||
unified system is very far away, then you have missed some intriguing news
|
||||
items.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>As you probably are aware, the government has been talking about a national
|
||||
identification number for some time. It is supposed to make record keeping
|
||||
easier and to provide a means of crosschecking. It will help find deserting
|
||||
husbands who owe child support as well as locate tax evaders. Most people
|
||||
anticipate that the Social Security number will play a part in this national
|
||||
identification code.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The government's system for identification uses 18 digits, the last nine of
|
||||
which are the Social Security number. Virtually every citizen in the country
|
||||
over the age of 1 will be forced to have a Social Security number. At
|
||||
present, a Social Security number is necessary to have a job or a
|
||||
savings/checking account. Starting 1990, every child over one year old must
|
||||
have a Sociai Security number to qualify as a dependent on tax returns.
|
||||
Preceding this 9-digit Social Security number are 3 digits corresponding to
|
||||
one's telephone area code. Obviously, the whole world is tied by phone; even
|
||||
barren deserts with no inhabitants have area codes. In front of these
|
||||
numbers is a country code; for America it is 110. From this single
|
||||
universally consistent number, the government will instantly know a person's
|
||||
country, region, and identity. Does that seem logical so far? But that
|
||||
accounts for only 15 digits, and the system is based on 18. The missing
|
||||
3-digit code specifes that you are in the system: 666.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>All computerized companies are going to 18-digit identification codes.
|
||||
According to the report '666 Is Here,' Sears Roebuck is going on this system
|
||||
and is committed to changing over all its credit cards. J.C. Penney's is
|
||||
reported to be switching over, as well as New York Telephone. The U.S.
|
||||
Government used to prefix all the serial numbers of everything it owned with
|
||||
the code 451. But that also is changing; the dog tags on every soldier in
|
||||
America are to be converted to 666.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Is that enough to concern you? The point is that 666 is a significant and
|
||||
important part of what the future is going to hold. The Bible prophesied it.
|
||||
Nostradamus explained it, and we are presently at the very edge of seeing it
|
||||
become enacted. Rumors abound about people receiving checks with these
|
||||
marks, governments admit they need better financial control, and the
|
||||
chairman of one of the largest banks says, "It's ready; we just need a major
|
||||
catastrophe."</p>

of length. It is not advised to try to envision this dimension for it may
|
||||
cause insanity, seriously.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>2nd dimensional plane: This plane consists of both length and width. It
|
||||
is not adviable to envision this either. The first and second planes are
|
||||
not the same as the fourth dimension and are uncomprehendable except by
|
||||
entities "living" in that plane of thought and sight.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>3rd dimensional plane: This is the plane of depth. This one is easily
|
||||
imagined by 4th dimensional entities, because they are so close to it, and
|
||||
had just passed out of it.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>4th dimensional plane: This is the plane that the entities that we call
|
||||
beings "live" on. It consists of the forward movement of time. It is the one
|
||||
we are on right now.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The cross-over: This is a place where the 4th dimensional entities make their
|
||||
way into the 5th and above. It is often refered to as death, yet it is only a
|
||||
cross-over point. At this point, all knowledge of the 4th and below
|
||||
dimensions is lost.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>5th dimensional plane: This plane consists of the backwards movement of
|
||||
time. Although considered impossible by 4th dimensional entities, those
|
||||
entities are only thinking in the 4th dimensional phase. Remember everything
|
||||
else from here on out is done in metaphysical thinking.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>6th dimensional plane: This is the plane of clairvoyance. Remember, all of
|
||||
this you must assume, or no comprehension of the later explanations
|
||||
will be understood. Not much is known about this plane, except you "inhabit"
|
||||
the sense of clairvoyance.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>7th dimensional plane: This is the plane of telekinesis. This is even less
|
||||
understood than the plane of clairvoyance, yet it does exist. This
|
||||
often thought of as "supernatural", when in fact it a real thing.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>8th dimensional plane: This is the plane of perception. It is the highest any
|
||||
entity can evolve to. It consists of all the planes from five and up.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>9th dimensional plane: God. Refered to by many, but understood by few. All
|
||||
cultures and beings, be it from our world or others, have this vision. God
|
||||
created all life, so all life lives by him.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>These are the explanations of all the dimensional planes. Dimensional planes
|
||||
are achieved by the evolution of the mind/soul/entity, which are all the
|
||||
same thing. Evolution is a continual learning process. As we evolve we
|
||||
understand more, yet raise more questions. This theory is to help those
|
||||
understand the answers to many questions concerning God and the
|
||||
"supernatural". One thing is assumed. We are not the only lifeforms in this
|
||||
universe. All lifeforms were created by God, and will evolve through the
|
||||
process God laid forth unto us. The universe is infinitely large, which
|
||||
shows God's power is also infinitely large.</p>

|
||||
<p>Volume II: Explanation of the Planes and their signifigance to the supernatural</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Intro: This is the second part to the previous file on the proven existance of
|
||||
9 dimensional planes. As stated in the last phile, one must assume all things
|
||||
true in order to understand and comprehend the intensity of this phile. This
|
||||
one will deal with the questions brought about by the theory itself.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>One thing must be understood in this file. All the entities, in all the
|
||||
dimensional planes, co-exist with one another in this one universe. There is
|
||||
but one universe, in which all entities live in. There are no "outside"
|
||||
universes. Everything co-exists in this one universe.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Explanation of "Insane Persons":</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>An insane person is thought of as a person without the ability to think clearly
|
||||
and comprehend things on a 4th dimensional basis. They are not "insane". That
|
||||
is a term 4th dimensional entities give to those entities which are not on the
|
||||
the same thought plane that the other entities are on. Every plane is just a
|
||||
level of thought process. In the past file I stated that evolution is a
|
||||
continuing process of learning. The "insane" persons of a 4th dimensional
|
||||
community are not on the same thought plane we consider ourselves on.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Explanation of "supernatural" powers</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>This deals with the idea of persons who are able to channel their psychic
|
||||
powers to do physical things. This also deals with fortune tellers and People
|
||||
who can see the future, i.e. Nostradameus. These occurances are also explained
|
||||
by the thought level that these entities are on. They are actually 6th or 7th
|
||||
dimensional beings stuck in a 4th deminsional body. Because 99.8% of the
|
||||
population of the 4th dimension only thinks in 4 dimensions, they are often
|
||||
considered "supernatural", "witches", "prophets", ect. You then will ask, if I
|
||||
came up with this, how come I can't bend spoons with a thought. The answer is
|
||||
simple. I am now just discovering this phenomenon. I have an upbringing of this
|
||||
not really happening, but being a science-fiction thing. The people who do know
|
||||
how to do these things have been concentrating all their lives to use this
|
||||
"super" power givin to them by God. If everone thought on the 8th dimension,
|
||||
there would be no use for a God. It is all a process of learning and
|
||||
comprehending.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Explanation of "Ghosts, Spirits, and Poltergeists"</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>This is about the simplest thing to explain. As I stated above, all entities
|
||||
co-exist in the same universe, for there is only one, which is infinite.
|
||||
Sometimes, 4th dimensional beings see things they aren't "supposed" to see.
|
||||
People are brought up with the idea ghosts are science-fiction, when in fact
|
||||
they are a real thing. Sometimes these entities are accidently crossed back for
|
||||
a few seconds, years, or minutes.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Explanation of Heaven or the Kingdom of God</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>This is fairly easily comprehended, if one thinks beyond the 4th dimension. It
|
||||
is but the enternity at the other side of the cross-over. What do you think the
|
||||
"light at the end of the tunnel" is? It is the "other side" or 5th dimension.
|
||||
People lose their physical bodies and are "able to fly" around. This also
|
||||
explains the angels 4th dimensional beings continually say are immortal.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Explanation of Immortality</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Immortality is an easily comprehendable concept, if one thinks of a positive
|
||||
charge and a negative charge. When thrown together, they cancel each other out.
|
||||
This is the same priciple when you combine forward and reverse time together.
|
||||
After you make the cross-over, your mind adapts to backwards time, yet when
|
||||
backwards time collides with forward time it cancels it out. Therefore the
|
||||
state of immortality is reached.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The one constant</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>There is but one constant in all the dimensions. Plank's constant is only
|
||||
valuable in 4th dimensional science and so is the speed of light. There is only
|
||||
one constant in all of the 9 dimensions. It is the emotions. No one can explain
|
||||
emotions except this phile. Emotions are the only constant of the co-existant
|
||||
universe. Think about it. Why do you think the "ghosts" are happy, sad, angry,
|
||||
ect., ect., when you see them. It is because of the power and intensity of the
|
||||
emotional constant. When emotions of the 5th and above dimensional entities
|
||||
gains great intensity, it then is transfered to all other dimensions.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>That about does it for this file. That pretty much explains everything that I
|
||||
can think of dealing with the unexplainable. If you can think of any more,
|
||||
leave mail on Centre of Eternity for Starmaster (#75). I will ponder for the
|
||||
answer, until I can get a suitable one using this theory. None will be turned
|
||||
away. Who knows, maybe I'll get enough quetions to write another phile. Slatez
|
||||
dudes.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Greets to all metaphysical thinkers. This should answer some of your questions.

<xml><p>The A-Z of Conspiracy
|
||||
As everyone knows, we are never allowed to know who is really
|
||||
controlling our lives/the country/the world. But is this knowledge a
|
||||
dangerous thing? To clear up this question beyond reasonable doubt
|
||||
Life provides a comprehensive guide to the theoretical corridors and
|
||||
sinister back offices in which true power (and general paranoia) may
|
||||
(or may not) lie
|
||||
02/12/95
|
||||
THE GUARDIAN
|
||||
|
||||
Conspiracy theories are the will-o'-the-wisps of the modern
|
||||
world. They provide an alternative history to the authorised
|
||||
version of events, a coherent demonology in a godless, devil-less
|
||||
age.
|
||||
Conspiracy theories fill a human need. They make some sense of
|
||||
the cruel narrative that is the 20th century. They turn the random
|
||||
violence of a lone madman into an act of orchestrated malice. In
|
||||
this way the loss of a figure like Kennedy becomes somehow more
|
||||
comprehensible. To be angry is more bearable than to be uncertain.
|
||||
This soothing function can be at odds with truth, however.
|
||||
Alternative conspiracist history is as flawed as the `authorised'
|
||||
version. Worse, a conspiracist view can suppress awkward pieces of
|
||||
information by toying with the notion that events have been covered
|
||||
up by the authorities to suit their own ends: encounters with alien
|
||||
space ships, the real makers of the Lockerbie bomb and the truth
|
||||
about Rudolf Hess have all been hidden from the public but the
|
||||
higher officers of the state are in the know.
|
||||
Some of the conspiracy theories which date from earlier this
|
||||
century have more ignoble, murkier origins. Anti-semites were
|
||||
behind the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, the Jewish Conspiracy
|
||||
and countless others. Their modern equivalents are put about by
|
||||
neo-Nazi cliques. Again, these conspiracy theories have a human
|
||||
function. Failure in life is more bearable if `the truth' is that
|
||||
the Jews/the blacks/the Illuminati have conspired against you, it
|
||||
allows you to ignore the fact that you are a spotty social
|
||||
inadequate with bad breath and too-tight lederhosen.
|
||||
The conspiracy theorist is the bane of the working journalist.
|
||||
The need for some sliver of evidence to support assertions is
|
||||
secondary to the spell of the theory: that, for the conspiracy
|
||||
theorist, is its charm. This difficulty is compounded by the fact
|
||||
that not all conspiracy theories are untrue. Those in power across
|
||||
the world do prefer to keep embarrassing truths secret; they do
|
||||
cover up; they do, from time to time, kill people who get in the
|
||||
way.
|
||||
True or not, a rattling good conspiracy theory requires the
|
||||
following qualities:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> 1 it must be difficult, better still, impossible, to understand
|
||||
at first glance.
|
||||
2 it must contain a spaghetti-heap of leads, all of which cannot
|
||||
be followed up. There must always be one more lead left to chase.
|
||||
3 The story should speak to a `wider' truth about our society,
|
||||
through a series of disconnected or unconnected or unfalsifiable
|
||||
propositions.
|
||||
4 There should be no easy way of verifying it.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> The theories below demonstrate all of these qualities to a
|
||||
greater or lesser degree. To savour our A-Z properly, we suggest
|
||||
readers mull over it with deadpan credulousness in the small hours
|
||||
of the morning listening to the theme music from The X-Files and
|
||||
drinking black coffee.
|
||||
A IS FOR ALIEN ENCOUNTERS that are being covered up by the
|
||||
authorities. Perhaps the best-documented close encounter of the
|
||||
third kind took place on 27 December 1980, when airmen at two RAF
|
||||
stations in East Anglia witnessed something extraordinary. First
|
||||
radar operators at RAF Watton in Norfolk picked up an oddity on
|
||||
their screens. Then RAF Phantom pilots reported seeing intense
|
||||
bright lights in the sky. Former radar operator Mal Scurrah said:
|
||||
`As the Phantoms got close the hovering object shot upwards at
|
||||
phenomenal speed " monitored at more than 1,000 mph.' Later, airmen
|
||||
stationed at RAF Woodbridge in Suffolk investigated a mystery fire
|
||||
in Rendlesham Forest. Sergeant Jim Penniston witnessed the
|
||||
encounter with airman John Burroughs. Penniston said: `The air was
|
||||
filled with electricity and we saw an object about the size of a
|
||||
tank. It was triangular, moulded of black glass and had symbols on
|
||||
it. Suddenly it shot off faster than any aircraft I have ever
|
||||
observed.' The next day the object returned. Base commander Lt Col
|
||||
Charles Halt saw the flying saucer himself: `I couldn't believe
|
||||
what I was seeing. It looked like the rising sun with a black
|
||||
pulsating centre. It appeared to be dripping molten metal.' Hall
|
||||
acted coolly, taping and photographing the object engineered by `an
|
||||
intelligence which didn't originate on Earth'. His tape and film
|
||||
were confiscated by visiting US defence officials. Former British
|
||||
Chief of Defence Staff Lord Hill-Norton has claimed: `Someone is
|
||||
sitting on information that should be in the public domain.'
|
||||
Believability: 9/10 (Possible explanation: what the airmen saw may
|
||||
not have been a UFO, but a prototype of the Stealth bomber, which
|
||||
has a black triangular shape, a strange radar print and was, in
|
||||
1980, ultra-secret. Project Aurora, a new ultra-ultra-secret
|
||||
Pentagon Black Budget reconnaissance aircraft, is probably
|
||||
responsible for all subsequent UFO sightings.)</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> B IS FOR THE BILDERBERG GROUP, which organises semi-secret
|
||||
annual three-day meetings of the European-Atlantic great and good
|
||||
from the worlds of business, diplomacy and politics. The first
|
||||
meetings were organised in 1954 by eminence grise Joseph Retinger,
|
||||
the then secretary general of the newly fledged, CIA-funded
|
||||
European Movement. Karl Otto Pohl, then president of Deutsche
|
||||
Bundesbank, David Rockefeller, Lord Carrington and Governor Bill
|
||||
Clinton of Arkansaswere among recent delegates. Denis Healey was at
|
||||
that first meeting and, having retired, discusses Bilderberg in his
|
||||
autobiography, The Time Of My Life. Bilderberg is one of the
|
||||
transnational groups suspected by the European-American far Right
|
||||
of being part of the secret elite power structure. Even the
|
||||
Financial Times column `Lombard' has noted: `If the Bilderberg
|
||||
group is not a conspiracy of some sort, it is conducted in such a
|
||||
way as to give a remarkably good imitation of one.' Believability:
|
||||
8/10
|
||||
|
||||
C IS FOR CEAUSESCU, who was tried and executed on Christmas Day
|
||||
to hush up the complicity of Romania's new leaders in his crimes.
|
||||
The videotape of the Christmas Day show trial of Nicolae and Elena
|
||||
Ceausescu is an absorbing spectacle. Time and again, Ceausescu and
|
||||
his wife turn on their interrogators and accuse them of knowing the
|
||||
answers to the questions they have posed. Prosecutor: `What do you
|
||||
know about the Securitate?' Elena: `They are sitting across from us
|
||||
here.' The old witch was right, of course, because sitting in the
|
||||
courtroom were secret police chiefs like Colonel Magureanu, who had
|
||||
been party to the attack on civilians in Timisoara which had
|
||||
triggered the revolution. He was later promoted by the leader of
|
||||
the conspirators, Ion Iliescu " a former Ceausescu crony " to head
|
||||
the renamed secret police, the `Romanian Information Service'.
|
||||
Iliescu became and remains president, the tainted hero of a tainted
|
||||
revolution.
|
||||
Believability: 10/10</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> D IS FOR `DEEP THROAT', the mole in the Nixon administration
|
||||
guiding the Washington Post journalists, Woodward and Bernstein, to
|
||||
the Watergate story. `Throat' remains unidentified. In his book
|
||||
Hidden Agenda (1984) Jim Hougan nominated both Nixon's chief of
|
||||
staff, Alexander Haig, and National Security Agency boss, Admiral
|
||||
Bobby Ray Inman, as candidates; Colodny and Gettlin also fingered
|
||||
Haig in their book Silent Coup (1991). Barbara Newman, for Channel
|
||||
4's Dispatches, came up with the head of the FBI field office in
|
||||
Washington, the late Bob Kunkle. He was allegedly leaking for the
|
||||
FBI, which was disgruntled by the Nixon cover-up.
|
||||
Believability: 10/10 (Cynics suspect `Deep Throat' was merely a
|
||||
dramatic device or a ploy to keep newspaper lawyers quiet.)</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> E IS FOR ELECTRICITY PYLONS, which fry our brains. A number of
|
||||
protesters have complained that electro-magnetic waves in overhead
|
||||
electricity pylons have led to depression, headaches, mental and
|
||||
physical ill-health. No government ministry has placed much
|
||||
credence on these complaints. The epidemiology of environmental
|
||||
effect is notoriously hard to prove, but all good conspiracists
|
||||
believe there is no smoke without a secret ray.
|
||||
Believability: 7/10</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> F IS FOR FREEMASONS, who club together to better themselves in
|
||||
the world. The majority of active freemasons have sworn not to
|
||||
divulge the secrets of the craft, on pain of having their tongues
|
||||
`cut out by the root and buried in the sand below low-water mark'.
|
||||
Other masons who have tried to break ranks have come to sticky
|
||||
ends, like `God's Banker' Roberto Calvi, found hanging from
|
||||
Blackfriars Bridge in 1982. So it is hard to determine just how
|
||||
much influence is wielded by the grown men who like to dress in
|
||||
black suits, wear aprons, bare their breasts and roll up their
|
||||
trouser legs. Not very much, say some sceptics, who suspect that
|
||||
the masons have more control over, say, haberdashery in
|
||||
Herefordshire than the British state. But freemasons still hold
|
||||
some sway in the corridors of power. The Rt Hon the Lord Templeman
|
||||
and Rt Hon Lord Justice Balcombe, both freemasons, are two of the
|
||||
most senior judges in the land; junior Foreign Office minister Tony
|
||||
Baldry, former Tory MP David Trippier and back bench MPs Sir Peter
|
||||
Emery and Sir Gerard Vaughan are all on the square.
|
||||
Many police officers, too, remain true to their masonic oaths of
|
||||
secrecy. In 1993 at a Police Federation conference a motion urging
|
||||
police officers to reveal membership of the masonic brotherhood was
|
||||
debated. An officer from Merseyside said it did not matter if
|
||||
officers `wore a goatskin or rolled up their trouser leg'. Another
|
||||
said that freemasonry was `not all mumbo-jumbo'.
|
||||
A third police officer, mocking the calls for more openness
|
||||
about freemasonry in the ranks, put a paper bag over his head.
|
||||
Finally a member of the Metropolitan branch came to the rostrum to
|
||||
announce the vote. `I'm not telling,' he said to laughter. `It's a
|
||||
secret.' The opponents of freemasonry lost the vote.
|
||||
Believability: 8/10</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> G IS FOR THE GEMSTONE FILE, the conspiracy theory which first
|
||||
surfaced in 1975. Originally a precis by American journalist
|
||||
Stephania Caruana of allegations made in letters by American
|
||||
chemist Bruce Roberts, now deceased, Gemstone attributes much of
|
||||
post-war America's ills to the power of Aristotle Onassis, who had
|
||||
the Kennedys and Dr King assassinated, seized the Howard Hughes
|
||||
empire, did a deal with the Mafia, etc. The subject of a couple of
|
||||
book-length studies to date, Gemstone has appeared in five or six
|
||||
different versions, each one containing new material. Most striking
|
||||
is the `Kiwi Gemstone' in which specifically New Zealand incidents
|
||||
have been embedded in the original American narrative. Authorless,
|
||||
floating round the world in samizdat form, Gemstone is a perfect,
|
||||
small-scale disinformation vehicle for anyone who cares to use it.
|
||||
Believability: 0/10</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> H IS FOR HESS, locked up in Spandau prison because he knew all
|
||||
about the secret 1941 negotiations between Britain and Nazi
|
||||
Germany. Rudolf Hess's flight in May 1941 remains one of the most
|
||||
bizarre episodes of the Second World War. Lord James
|
||||
Douglas-Hamilton, son of the Duke of Hamilton, the Scottish
|
||||
landowner to whom Hess presented his plans, said: `Hess's proposals
|
||||
consisted of a limited peace deal under which Germany would have
|
||||
allowed Britain a free hand in her empire in return for Britain
|
||||
allowing Germany a free hand in Europe and Russia. His so-called
|
||||
peace plans would have meant the enslavement of Europe.' Hess was
|
||||
arrested, tried to commit suicide, went mad, was sentenced to life
|
||||
imprisonment and, at the age of 93, hanged himself in Spandau
|
||||
prison. Or not, as the case may be.
|
||||
One theory has it that the Churchill government, in a hideously
|
||||
clever propaganda campaign against the Nazis, ran a double, `Hess
|
||||
Two'. Evidence supporting the double theory emerged when a Dutch TV
|
||||
journalist, Karel Hille, disclosed that he had got the Most Secret
|
||||
file on Hess via an unnamed British historian who had been given it
|
||||
by the late MI6 spymaster Sir Maurice Oldfield. Oldfield had,
|
||||
allegedly, stolen the file from the MI6 archive. That the man,
|
||||
`Hess Two', who killed himself in prison was not the real Hess is
|
||||
backed by Hugh Thomas, a Welsh surgeon, who, in the early 1970s,
|
||||
was consultant to the British Military Hospital in West Berlin.
|
||||
Thomas examined `Hess Two' and found him to lack the scars the real
|
||||
Hess should have had after a wound he received in 1917. MI6 had
|
||||
`Hess Two' hanged because they didn't want the truth to come out.
|
||||
Then the killers burnt the evidence, including an electrical flex,
|
||||
with which he was murdered.
|
||||
Believability: 5/10 (Hess was mad. His 1917 wound was
|
||||
pea-sized.)</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> I IS FOR THE ILLUMINATI, the secret society controlling all the
|
||||
other secret societies. An 18th-century masonic splinter group
|
||||
begun by Adam Weishaupt, the Illimunati were said to be the hidden
|
||||
force behind the French Revolution. After the First World War they
|
||||
were re-launched into the English-speaking world by one Nesta
|
||||
Webster who credited them with organising the Russian October
|
||||
Revolution too. In 1921 the Spectator described Weishaupt as a
|
||||
`Prussian with criminal instincts and lunatic perversions . . .

<p> J IS FOR JAMES JESUS ANGLETON, the orchid-growing,
|
||||
poetry-writing, paranoid head of CIA counter intelligence
|
||||
throughout much of the Cold War. Angleton believed the CIA and all
|
||||
other spy networks to be so much gorgonzola, riddled with KGB
|
||||
moles. In his search for these moles Angleton paralysed large
|
||||
chunks of the CIA for years at a stretch and blighted the careers
|
||||
of many senior officers.
|
||||
It was Angleton who insisted in the 1960s that MI5 investigate
|
||||
Harold Wilson, a task taken up enthusiastically by Peter Wright and
|
||||
his circle in MI5. Angleton's overarching idiocy was to believe the
|
||||
KGB defector Golitsyn, who claimed that the friction between the
|
||||
Soviet Union and Mao's China in the late 1960s was a fake to
|
||||
deceive the West. Despite the collapse of the Soviet Union,
|
||||
Golitsyn remains convinced that it is all a black propaganda ploy.
|
||||
However, the confession of top CIA man Aldrich Ames that he was a
|
||||
KGB mole have proved some of Angleton's fears correct.

<p> K IS FOR KENNEDY, killed by almost anyone you care to mention.
|
||||
According to Captain James T Kirk of the Starship Enterprise, the
|
||||
`first rule of assassination is kill the assassins'. The killing of
|
||||
Lee Harvey Oswald by Jack Ruby set a hare running that has never
|
||||
stopped. Instead of Oswald's courtroom confession or denial of
|
||||
guilt providing some explanation of the killing of the president,
|
||||
the assassination of the assassin let conjecture reign.
|
||||
So many had a hand in his murder it is too tedious to name them
|
||||
all. Oliver Stone argued in his film JFK that Lyndon Baines Johnson
|
||||
was the man behind the conspiracy. The KGB, the Mafia, the Cubans,
|
||||
the FBI and the masons are all contenders. Perhaps the best JFK
|

conspiracy theory is that he is, after all, still alive, but kept a

<p> L IS FOR LOCKERBIE. On 21 December 1988, 270 people were
|

murdered when Pan Am 103 exploded over Scotland.
|
||||
Six years later no one has been convicted of the crime, although
|

investigators on both sides of the Atlantic have consistently
|
||||
pointed the finger at two Libyan intelligence officers who they
|

believe planted the bomb on a plane from Malta before it was

transferred at Frankfurt on to the fatal flight. UN sanctions are
|

enforced against Tripoli until Colonel Gadaffi agrees to hand over

the two for trial.
|

Others are not convinced by the official line. Tales of

suitcases of heroin recovered at the crash site by mysterious
|
||||
American intelligence officers point to a joint CIA/Drug
|
||||
Enforcement Administration operation that was fatally compromised
|
||||
by Syrian and Iranian-backed Palestinian terrorists. American
|
||||
spooks were running `controlled' deliveries of Lebanese heroin
|
||||
through Frankfurt airport in return for information about the
|
||||
whereabouts of the hostages in Beirut. The terrorists were aware of
|
||||
this and switched the dope-filled Samsonite case with one
|
||||
containing the bomb. Among those killed were Matthew Gannon, the
|
||||
CIA's deputy head of station in Beirut, and Major Charles McKee, a
|
||||
Defence Intelligence Agency officer allegedly in charge of a
|
||||
hostage rescue team. Some students of the tragedy have gone so far

as to suggest that McKee was flying home to blow the whistle,

First, they managed to secure his removal as junior Foreign

information about the hostages in Beirut unless Mellor was moved.
|

Second, they arranged for the clandestine phone-tapping

|

Whitstable housewife Valerie Hewitt, author of Nostradamus: His

Charles will be crowned this year. `It will be something sudden

genuine it doesn't matter. And Diana will be offered the chance to

become Queen. But Charles's reign will be short and William could

be king before he's 18.' In 1993 she predicted that George Bush

Rival Nostradamus buff John Hogue is more apocalyptic. He plumps

for nuclear disaster or terrorism in 1996, World War III before the

" and the ozone hole killing off two-thirds of the world population.

He quotes the prophet's vision of the future: `So many {die}

weeds in the city streets will rise higher than the knees, and

<p> P IS FOR PROMIS SOFTWARE, stolen from a Washington law firm. In
|
||||
1982 a Washington DC computer firm, Inslaw, developed a programme
|
||||
called Promis (Prosecutors' Management Information System) which it
|
||||
supplied to the US Justice Department for $10 million. A year
|
||||
later, Justice stopped all payments and Inslaw went bankrupt. A
|
||||
ruling in 1987 at a bankruptcy court concluded that the Justice
|
||||
Department `took, converted and stole Promis software through
|
||||
trickery, fraud and deceit', which is a little embarrassing for the
|
||||
department charged with upholding the rule of law.
|
||||
So far, so what? It is only when people started to probe into
|
||||
why Justice had acted in such a way that it gets interesting,
|
||||
prompting one investigator to claim that the case `was a lot
|
||||
dirtier for the department than Watergate had been, both in its
|
||||
breadth and depth'.
|
||||
It turns out that (allegedly) the men behind the theft of the
|
||||
software were all Reagan appointees who helped engineer the 1980
|
||||
`October Surprise', whereby the Republicans struck a deal with the
|
||||
Iranians not to release American Embassy hostages from Tehran until
|
||||
after Reagan was safely in the White House. The software was then
|
||||
sold on to foreign intelligence agencies across the globe, (a) to
|
||||
generate revenue for covert operations not authorised by Congress;
|
||||
and (b) to make it easier for US operatives to hack into the
|
||||
software.
|
||||
The story was chased by US freelance Danny Casolaro. A year
|
||||
after making himself known to the Inslaw people he was found dead
|
||||
in a motel room in West Virginia. The official verdict was suicide,
|
||||
but Elliott Richardson, the Attorney General under Nixon, hired by
|
||||
Inslaw to investigate the case, concluded: `It's hard to come up
|
||||
with any reason for Casolaro's death other than he was deliberately
|

murdered because he was so close to uncovering sinister elements in
|

what he called `the Octopus'.' Believability: 7/10</p>

conspiracists. Quigley's 1,340-page volume Tragedy And Hope "
|

History Of The World In Our Time (1966) included a dozen pages on
|
||||
the existence of a hitherto unknown secret society, run by Alfred,
|
||||
Lord Milner, Lloyd George's Chef de Cabinet, funded by Cecil
|
||||
Rhodes's estate. The group, said Quigley, who claimed to have
|

access to its papers, organised the Round Table groups in the

Commonwealth, the Royal Institute For International Affairs in
|

London and its counterpart in the US betwen the wars.
|

For far-Right groups such as the John Birch Society these pages

were proof, from an `insider', of the great conspiracy they had
|

always suspected. Not the communists, not the Jews, not even the
|

Illuminati, but the Perpetual Hidden Government " the PHG!
|

Quigley's revelations are behind much of the recent talk of One

presidential hopeful Pat Robertson's world view. Among Quigley's

|

His letters to newspapers poured scorn on the Official Secrets Act;
|
||||
his books, such as The Intelligence Game, cast doubt on the
|
||||
official version of events. But where Rusbridger, aged 65 at the
|
||||
time of his death, really annoyed the spooks was when he unearthed
|
||||
Britain's code-cracking secrets, in particular the story that the
|
||||
British had cracked Japanese naval codes in advance of the attack
|
||||
on Pearl Harbour.
|
||||
He was bright, hale and hearty for his age when he was
|
||||
discovered in February 1994 at his home, dressed in a green
|
||||
protective suit for use in nuclear, biological or chemical warfare,
|
||||
green overalls, a black plastic mackintosh and thick rubber gloves.
|
||||
His face was covered by a gas mask and he was also wearing a
|
||||
sou'wester. His body was suspended from two ropes, attached to
|
||||
shackles fastened to a piece of wood across the open loft hatch,
|
||||
and was surrounded by pictures of men and mainly black women in
|
||||
bondage. Consultant pathologist Dr Yasai Sivathondan said he died
|
||||
from asphyxia due to hanging `in keeping with a form of sexual
|
||||
strangulation'.
|
||||
His death occasioned a piece by Sunday Times reporter James
|
||||
Adams, whose own books boast of contacts with British intelligence.
|
||||
Adams quoted senior intelligence officials as saying Rusbridger
|
||||
never had any connection with any branch of British intelligence:
|
||||
"His death was as much a fantasy as his life,' said one source . .
|
||||
. Rusbridger's interest in intelligence seems to have coincided
|
||||
with his conviction for theft in 1977.' Such an extensive
|
||||
posthumous demolition job by intelligence officials would perhaps
|

only be merited by someone who had been a serious thorn in their

giant killed themselves in a variety of ways: one drove his

||||
Clifton suspension bridge, a third electrocuted himself.
|
||||
The deaths appeared to be a case of life imitating art " in this
|
||||
case, an episode of the 1960s Avengers series which features a
|
||||
number of brilliant scientists killing themselves. The first
|
||||
problem is that there was no linkage between the deaths. Second,
|

suicide is 10 times more common than murder in Britain. Third, men
|

kill themselves more violently than women. Fourth, scientists are
|
||||
more ingenious than the rest of the population, so one would expect
|

them to kill themselves violently and bizarrely. Fifth, the defence

business employs huge numbers of scientists, and Marconi is a big

employer.

WHO Murdered Africa
|
||||
The Greatest Murder Mystery of all Time
|
||||
|
||||
There is no question mark after the title of this article because
|
||||
the title is not a question. It's a declarative statement. WHO, the
|
||||
World Health Organization, murdered Africa with the AIDS virus. Thats
|
||||
a provocative statement, isn't it?
|
||||
|
||||
The answers to this little mystery, Murder on the WHO Express will
|
||||
be quite clear to you by the end of this report. You will also
|
||||
understand why the other suspects, the homosexuals, the green monkey
|
||||
and the Haitians, were only pawns in this virocidal attack on the
|
||||
non-Communist world.
|
||||
|
||||
If you believe the government propaganda that AIDS is hard to catch
|
||||
then you are going to die even sooner than the rest of us. The common
|
||||
cold is a virus. Have you ever had a cold? How did you catch it?
|
||||
You don't really know, do you? If the cold virus was fatal, How many
|
||||
people would be left in the world?
|
||||
|
||||
Yellow fever is a virus. You catch it from mosquito bites. Malaria
|
||||
is a parasite also carried by mosquitoes. It is many times larger than
|
||||
the AIDS virus ( like comparing a pinhead to a moose head ) yet the
|
||||
mosquito easily carries this large organism to man.
|
||||
|
||||
The tuberculosis germ, also larger than that AIDS virus, can be
|
||||
transmitted by formites ( inanimate objects such as towels ). The
|
||||
AIDS virus can live for as long as 10 days on a dry plate. You can't
|
||||
understand this murder mystery unless you learn a little virology.
|
||||
|
||||
Many viruses grow in animals and many grow in humans, but most of
|
||||
the viruses that affect animals don't affect humans. There are exceptions,
|
||||
of course, such as yellow fever and small pox.
|
||||
|
||||
There are some viruses in animals that can cause very lethal cancer
|
||||
in those animals, but do not affect man or other animals. The Bovine
|
||||
Leukemia Virus ( BLV ), for example, is lethal to cows but not humans.
|
||||
There is also another virus that occurs in sheep called Sheep Visna Virus
|
||||
which is also non-reactive in man. These Deadly viruses are " Retro -
|
||||
Viruses ", meaning that they can change the genetic composition of the
|
||||
cells that they enter.
|
||||
|
||||
The World Health Organization, in published articles, called for
|
||||
scientists to work these deadly agents and attempt to make a hybrid
|
||||
virus that would be deadly to humans. " An attempt should be made to
|
||||
see if viruses can in fact exert selective effects on immune function.
|
||||
The possibility should be looked into that the immune response to the
|
||||
virus itself maybe impaired if the infecting virus damages, more or
|
||||
less selectively, the cell responding to the virus."
|
||||
|
||||
Thats AIDS. What the WHO is saying in plain english is " Let's cook
|
||||
up a virus that selectively destroys the T-Cell system of man, an
|
||||
acquired immune deficiency. Why would anyone want to do this? If you
|
||||
destroy the T-Cell system of man then you destroy man. Is it even
|
||||
remotely possible that the WHO would want to develop a virus that would
|
||||
wipe out the human race?
|
||||
|
||||
If there new creation worked, the WHO stated, then many terrible
|
||||
and fatal infectious viruses could be made even more terrible and more
|
||||
malignant. Does this strike you as being a peculiar goal for a health
|
||||
organization?
|
||||
|
||||
Sometimes Americans believe in conspiracies and sometimes the don't.
|
||||
Was there a conspiracy to kill President Kennedy? Twenty five years later
|
||||
the debate still continues, and people keep changing there minds. One day
|
||||
it's yes and the next it's no - depending upon what was served for lunch,
|
||||
or how the stock market did the day before.
|
||||
|
||||
But it doesn't take a bad lunch to see an amazing concatenation of
|
||||
events involving Russian and Chinesse communist nationals, The WHO, The
|
||||
National Cancer Institute, and the AIDS epidemic.
|
||||
|
||||
But what about the green monkey? Some of the best virologist in the
|
||||
world and many of those directly involved in AIDS research, such as
|
||||
Robert Gallo and Luc Montagnier, have said that the green monkey may be
|
||||
the culprit. You know the story: A green monkey bit a native on the ass
|
||||
and, bam - AIDS all over central Africa.
|
||||
|
||||
There is a fatal flaw here. It is very strange. Because Gallo,
|
||||
Montagnier and these other virologist know that the AIDS virus doesn't
|
||||
occur naturally in monkeys. In fact it doesn't occur naturally in any
|
||||
animal.
|
||||
|
||||
AIDS started practically simultaneously in the United States, Haiti,
|
||||
Brazil, and Central Africa. ( Was the green monkey a jet pilot? )
|
||||
Examination for the gene structure of the green monkey cells prove that
|
||||
it is not genetically possible to transfer the AIDS virus from monkeys
|
||||
to man by natural means.
|
||||
|
||||
Because of the artificial nature of the AIDS virus it will not easily
|
||||
transfer from man to man unless it has become very concentrated in the
|
||||
body fluids through repeated injections from person to person, such as
|
||||
drug addicts, and through high multiple partner sexual activity such as
|
||||
takes place in Africa and among homosexuals. After repeated transfer it
|
||||
can become a " natural " infection for man, which it has.
|
||||
|
||||
Dr. Theodore Strecker's research of the literature indicates that
|
||||
the National Cancer Institute ( NCI ) in collaboration with the WHO,
|
||||
made the AIDS virus in there laboratories at Fort Detrick ( now NCI ).
|
||||
They combined the deadly retro-viruses Bovine-Leukemia Virus and Sheep
|
||||
Visna Virus, and injected them into human tissue cultures. The result
|
||||
was the AIDS virus, the first human retro-virus known to man and now
|
||||
believed to be 100% fatal to those infected.
|
||||
|
||||
The momentous plague that we now face was anticipated by the National
|
||||
Academy of Sciences (NAS) in 1974 when they recommended that "Scientists
|
||||
throughout the world join with the members of this committee in voluntarily
|
||||
deferring experiments linking animal viruses". What the NAS is saying in
|
||||
carefully guarded english is: "For God's sake. Stop this madness!" The
|
||||
green monkey is off the hook. How about the Communists?
|
||||
|
||||
Communist are in the process of conducting germ warfare from Fort
|
||||
Detrick, Maryland against the free world, expecially the United States,
|
||||
even using foreign communist agents within the US Army's germ warfare
|
||||
unit euphamistically called the Army Infectious Disease Unit.
|
||||
|
||||
You don't believe it? Carlton Gajdusek, an NIH bigshot at Detrick
|
||||
admits it. " IN THE FACILITY I HAVE A BUILDING WHERE MORE GOOD AND
|
||||
LOYAL COMMUNIST SCIENTISTS FROM THE USSR AND MAINLAND CHINA WORK, WITH
|
||||
FULL PASSKEYS TO ALL THE LABORATORIES, THAN THERE ARE AMERICAN. EVEN THE
|
||||
ARMY'S INFECTIOUS DISEASE UNIT IS LOADED WITH FOREIGN WORKERS NOT ALWAYS
|
||||
FRIENDLY NATIONALS."
|
||||
|
||||
Can you imagine that? A UN-WHO communist trogan horse in our
|
||||
biological warfare center with the full blessing of the US government?
|
||||
|
||||
The creation of the AIDS virus by the WHO was not just a diabolical
|
||||
scientific exercise that got out of hand. It was a cold-blooded
|
||||
successful attempt to create a killer virus which was then used in a
|
||||
successful experiment in Africa. So successful in fact that most of
|
||||
Central Africa may be wiped out, 75,000,000 dead within 3-5 years.
|
||||
|
||||
It was not an accident, it was deliberate. In the Federation
|
||||
Proceedings of the United States in 1972, WHO said : " In relation
|
||||
to the immune response a number of useful experimental approaches can
|
||||
be visualized ". They suggested a neat way to do this would be to put
|
||||
their new killer virus ( AIDS ) into a vaccination program, sit back and
|
||||
observe the results. " This would be particularly informative in
|
||||
sibships," they said. That is, give AIDS to brothers and sisters and
|
||||
see if they die, who dies first, and of what, just like rats in a
|
||||
laboratory.
|
||||
|
||||
They used the smallpox vaccine for their vehicle and the geographical
|
||||
sites chosen in 1972 were Ugunda and other African sites, Haiti, Brazil
|
||||
and Japan. The present and recent past of AIDS epidemiology coincides
|
||||
with these geographical areas.
|
||||
|
||||
Dr. Strecker points out that even if the African green monkey could
|
||||
transmit AIDS to humans, the present known amount of infection in Africa
|
||||
makes it statistically impossible for a single episode, such as a monkey
|
||||
biting someone, to have brought this epidemic to this point. The doubling
|
||||
time of the number of people infected, about every 14 months, when
|
||||
correlated with the first known cases, and the present known number of
|
||||
cases, prove beyond a doubt that a large number of people had to be
|
||||
infected at the same time. Starting in 1972 with the first case from our
|
||||
mythical monkey, and doubling the number of infected from that single
|
||||
source every 14 months you get only a few thousand cases. From 1972 to
|
||||
1987 is 15 years or 180 months. If it takes 14 months to double the number
|
||||
of cases then there would have been 13 doublings. 1 then 2 then 4 then 8..
|
||||
etc...In 15 years, from a single source of infection there would be about
|
||||
8000 cases in Africa, not 75 million. We are approaching World War II
|
||||
mortality statistics here - without a shot being fired.
|
||||
|
||||
Dr. Theodore A. Strecker is the courageous doctor who has unraveled
|
||||
this conundrum, the greatest murder mystery of all time. He should get
|
||||
the Nobel Prize but he'll be lucky not to get "suicided." ( "Prominent
|
||||
California doctor ties his hands behind his back, hangs himself, and
|
||||
jumps from 20th floor. There was no evidence of foul play." )
|
||||
|
||||
Strecker was employed as a consultant to work on a health proposal
|
||||
for Security Pacific Bank. He was to estimate the cost of their health
|
||||
care for the future. Should they form an HMO was the major issue. After
|
||||
investigating the current medical market he advised against the HMO because
|
||||
he found that the AIDS epidemic in all probability bankrupt the nation's
|
||||
medical system.
|
||||
|
||||
He became fascinated with all the scientific anomalies concerning AIDS
|
||||
that kept cropping up. Why did the " experts " keep talking about
|
||||
green monkeys and homosexuals being the culprits when it was obvious that
|
||||
the AIDS virus was a man-made virus? Why did they say it was a homosexual
|
||||
and drug-user disease when in Africa it was obviously a heterosexual
|
||||
disease? If the green monkey did it then why did AIDS explode practically
|
||||
simultaneously in Africa, Haiti, Brazil, Japan, and the United States?
|
||||
|
||||
Why, when it was proposed to the National Institute of Health that the
|
||||
AIDS virus was a combination of two bovine or sheep viruses cultured in
|
||||
human cells in a laboratory, did they say it was " bad science " when
|
||||
thats exactly what occurred?
|
||||
|
||||
As early as 1970 the WHO was growing these deadly animal viruses in
|
||||
human tissue cultures. Cedric Mims, in 1981, said in a published article
|
||||
that there was a bovive virus contaminating the culture media of th WHO.
|
||||
Was this an accident or a "non-accident"? If it was an accident then why
|
||||
did the WHO continue to use the vaccine?
|
||||
|
||||
This viral and genetic death bomb, AIDS, was finally produced in 1974.
|
||||
It was given to monkeys and they died of pneumocystis carni which is
|
||||
typical of AIDS.
|
||||
|
||||
Dr. R. J. Biggar said in Lancet ( a Brittish journal ) that the AIDS
|
||||
agent could not have developed de novo. That means in plain english that
|
||||
it didn't come out of thin air. AIDS was engineered in a laboratory by
|
||||
virologists. It couldn't engineer itself. As Dr. Stricker so colorfully
|
||||
puts it: " If a person has no arms or legs and shows up at a party in a
|
||||
tuxedo, how did he get dressed? Somebody dressed him. "
|
||||
|
||||
There are 9000 to the 4th power possible AIDS viruses. ( There are
|
||||
9000 base pairs on the geneome. ) So the fun has just begun. Some will
|
||||
cause brain rot similar to the sheep virus, some leukemia-like diseases
|
||||
from the cow viruses, and some that won't do anything. So the virus will
|
||||
be constantly changing and trying out new esoteric disease on hapless
|
||||
man. We're only the beginning
|
||||
|
||||
Because of the trillions of possible genetic combinations there will
|
||||
never be a vaccine. Even if they could develop a vaccine they would
|
||||
un-doubtfully give us something equally as bad as they did with the Polio
|
||||
vaccine ( cancer of the brain ), the Swine Flu vaccine ( a Polio-like
|
||||
disease ), the Smallpox vaccine (AIDS), and the Hepatitis vaccine (AIDS).
|
||||
|
||||
There are precedents. This is not the first time the virologists have
|
||||
brought us disaster. SV-40 virus from monkey cell cultures contaminated
|
||||
Polio cultures. Most people in there 40's are now carrying the virus
|
||||
through contaminated Polio innoculations given in the early 60's. It is
|
||||
known to cause brain cancer which explains the increase in this disease
|
||||
that we have seen in the past 10 years.
|
||||
|
||||
This is the origin of the green monkey theory. The Polio vaccine was
|
||||
grown on green monkey kidney cells. 64 million Americans were vaccinated
|
||||
with SV-40 contaminated vaccine in the 60's. An increase in cancer of the
|
||||
brain, possibly Multiple Sclerosis, and God only knows what else is the
|
||||
tragic result. The delay between vaccination and the onset of cancer
|
||||
with this virus is as long as 20-30 years. 1965 + 20 = 1985. Get the
|
||||
picture?
|
||||
|
||||
The final piece of the puzzle is how AIDS devastated the homosexual
|
||||
population in the United States. It wasn't from Smalpox vaccination as
|
||||
in Africa because we don't do that any more. There is no Smallpox in the
|
||||
United States and so vaccination was discontinued. Although some AIDS has
|
||||
been brought to the United States from Haiti by homosexuals, It would not
|
||||
be enough to explain the explosion of AIDS that occurred simultaneously
|
||||
with the African and Haitian epidemics.
|
||||
|
||||
The AIDS virus didn't exist in the United States before 1978. You can
|
||||
check back in any hospital and no stored blood samples can be found
|
||||
anywhere that exhibit the AIDS virus before that date. What happened in
|
||||
1978 and beyond to cause AIDS to burst upon the scene and devastate the
|
||||
homosexual section of our population? It was the introduction of the
|
||||
Hepatitis B vaccine which exhibits the exact same epidemiology of AIDS.
|
||||
|
||||
A Doctor W. Schmunger, born in Poland and educated in Russia, came
|
||||
to this country in 1969. Schmunger's immigration to the U.S. was
|
||||
probably the most fatefull immigration in our history. He, by un-explained
|
||||
process, became the head of one of the New York City blood bank. ( How
|
||||
does a Russian trained doctor become the head of one of the largest blood
|
||||
banks in the world? Doesn't that strike you as peculiar? )
|
||||
|
||||
He set up the rules for the Hepatitis vaccine studies. Only males
|
||||
between the ages of 20 and 40 , who were not monogamous, were allowed to
|
||||
participate in this study. Can you think of any reason for insisting that
|
||||
all expermentees be promiscuous? Maybe you don't believe in the Communist
|
||||
conspiracy theory but give me some other logical explanation. Schmunger
|
||||
is now dead and his diabolical secret went with him.
|
||||
|
||||
The Centers for Disease Control reported in 1981 that 4% of those
|
||||
receiving the Hepatitis vaccine were AIDS infected. In 1984 they admitted
|
||||
to 60%. Now they refuse to give out the figures at all because they don't
|
||||
want to admit that 100% of the Hepatitis vaccine receivers are AIDS
|
||||
infected. Where is the data on the Hepatitis vaccine studied? FDA? CDC?
|
||||
No, the U.S. Department of Justice has buried it where you will never see
|
||||
it.
|
||||
|
||||
What has the government told us about AIDS?
|
||||
|
||||
* It's a homosexual disease-----------------------WRONG
|
||||
* It's related to anal intercourse only-----------WRONG
|
||||
* Only a small % of those testing positive
|
||||
for AIDS would get the disease------------------WRONG
|
||||
* It came from the African green monkey-----------WRONG
|
||||
* It came from cytomegalovirus--------------------WRONG
|
||||
* It was due to popping amyl nitrate with sex-----WRONG
|
||||
* It was started 400 years ago by the Portugese---WRONG
|
||||
* You cant get it from insects--------------------WRONG
|
||||
* The virus can't live outside the body-----------WRONG
|
||||
|
||||
The head of the Human Leukemia Research Group at Harvard is a
|
||||
veterinarian. Dr. O. W. Judd, International Agency for Research on Cancer,
|
||||
the agency that requested the production of the virus in the first place,
|
||||
is also a veterinarian. The Leukemia research he is conducting is being
|
||||
done under the auspices of a school of veterinary medicine. Now, there is
|
||||
nothing wrong with being a vet but, as we have pointed out, the AIDS virus
|
||||
is a human virus. You can't test these viruses in animals and you can't
|
||||
test leukemias in them either. It doesn't work. So why would your
|
||||
government give Judd, a veterinarian, 8.5 million dollars to study
|
||||
leukemia in a veterinary college? As long as we are being used as
|
||||
experimental animals maybe it is appropriate.
|
||||
|
||||
The London Times should be congratulated for uncovering the smallpox-
|
||||
AIDS connection. But there expose was very misleading. The article states
|
||||
that the African AIDS epidemic was caused by the smallpox vaccine
|
||||
"triggering" the AIDS in those vaccinated. Dr. Robert Gallo, who has been
|
||||
mixed up in some very strange scientific snafus, supports this theory.
|
||||
Whether the infection of 75 million Africians was deliberate or
|
||||
accidental can be debated, but there is no room for debate whether the
|
||||
smallpox shots "awakened the unsuspecting virus infection." There is
|
||||
absolutely no scientific evidence that this laboratory-engineered virus
|
||||
was present in Africa before the WHO descended upon these hapless people
|
||||
in 1967 with their deadly AIDS-laced vaccine. The AIDS virus didn't come
|
||||
from Africa, it came from Fort Detrick, Maryland, U.S.A.
|
||||
|
||||
The situation is extremely desperate and the medical profession is
|
||||
too frightened and cowed (as usual) to take any action. Dr. Strecker
|
||||
attempted to mobilize the doctors through some of the most respected
|
||||
medical journals in the world. The prestigious Annals of Internal Medicine
|
||||
said that his material "appears to be entirely concerned with maters of
|
||||
virology" and so try some other publication.
|
||||
|
||||
In his letter to The Annals, Strecker said, "If correct human
|
||||
experimental procedures had been followed we would not find half of the
|
||||
world stumbling off on the wrong path to the cure for AIDS with the other
|
||||
half of the world covering up the origination of the dammed disease. It
|
||||
appears to me that your Annals of Internal Medicine is participating in
|
||||
the greatest fraud ever perpetrated."
|
||||
|
||||
I guess they didn't like that so Stricker submitted his sensational
|
||||
and mind-boggling letter with all of the proper documentation to the
|
||||
British journal, Lancet. Their reply : " Thank you for that interesting
|
||||
letter on AIDS. I am sorry to have to report that we will not be able to
|
||||
publish it. We have no criticism" but their letter section was " over
|
||||
crowded with submissions ".
|
||||
|
||||
They're too crowded to announce the end of western civilization and
|
||||
possibly all mandkind? Doesn't seem reasonable. What can we do? The first
|
||||
thing that should be done is to close down all laboratories in this
|
||||
country that are dealing with these deadly retro-viruses. Then we must
|
||||
sort out the insane, irresponsible and traitorous scientists involved
|
||||
in these experiments and try them for murder. Then maybe, just ,maybe, we
|
||||
can re-populate and re-civilize the world.

|

<p>Shocking Revelations on AIDS Research by Our North American
|
||||
Correspondent</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Dr. Abdul Alim Muhammad, national spokesman for Minister Louis
|
||||
Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam, dropped a bombshell on the
|
||||
nation's capital at a mass rally held at All Souls Unitarian
|
||||
Church on September 8. Although the event had been planned for
|
||||
some time to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Washington,
|
||||
D.C. ministry of Dr. Muhammad, he turned the event into a report
|
||||
on his recent fact-finding mission to the African nation of Kenya.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Dr. Muhammad startled the standing-room-only audience when he
|
||||
announced that a research team working out of the Kenyan Medical
|
||||
Research Institute, led by the Harvard-trained immunologist Dr.
|
||||
David Koech, had made dramatic advances in the treatment of AIDS.
|
||||
Dr. Muhammad also charged that the U.S. government was leading a
|
||||
major effort by the international medical establishment to
|
||||
suppress this groundbreaking research.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Among those who packed the church to hear Dr. Muhammad speak on
|
||||
the theme "Can We Survive Genocide," were clergy from several
|
||||
denominations along the East Coast, civil rights leaders,
|
||||
community activists, leaders of the Nation of Islam, elected
|
||||
officials and political leaders from Maryland, Virginia, and the
|
||||
District of Columbia, and hundreds of ordinary citizens. The
|
||||
introduction of Washington's former Mayor Marion Barry - the man
|
||||
on whom the Bush administration spent millions to remove him from
|
||||
office - brought the house to its feet in an extended ovation.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>A Policy of Genocide</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>In his remarks, Dr. Muhammad quoted extensively from a 1985
|
||||
article authored by Lyndon LaRouche, "The Looming Extinction of
|
||||
the 'White Race'". In that piece, LaRouche documents that the
|
||||
imperial policies intrinsic to oligarchism have set into motion
|
||||
the self-destruction of the population levels and economies of
|
||||
those "white" nations that have complicitly tolerated oligarchical
|
||||
policies - most specifically the United States and Great Britain.
|
||||
LaRouche states that since what the oligarchs call the "Great
|
||||
White Race" is dying out at an accelerating rate, and threatening
|
||||
the supremacy of the Anglo-American financial establishment, we
|
||||
witness a fanatically Malthusian commitment to a policy of
|
||||
genocide directed against people of colour; a genocide consciously
|
||||
implemented through the conditionalities policies of the
|
||||
International Monetary Fund (IMF).</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>"That," Dr. Muhammad charged, "is one of the reasons they've got
|
||||
him locked up; because he's got the guts to tell the truth."</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Dr. Muhammad went on to present extensive evidence that the policy
|
||||
of deliberate genocide is fully operational. He described the
|
||||
CIA's support for the cause of population control during George
|
||||
Bush's tenure as Director of Central Intelligence, and reported
|
||||
the contents of National Security Memorandum 200, written during
|
||||
the Ford administration, which advised that the preservation of
|
||||
U.S. political and commercial interests "will require that the
|
||||
President and Secretary of State treat the subject of population
|
||||
growth control in the third world as a matter of paramount
|
||||
importance...." To the amazement of the audience, Muhammad
|
||||
identified the authors of the internal memo as Henry Kissinger and
|
||||
Gen. Brent Scowcroft, now Bush's national security adviser. (See
|
||||
The New Dawn Vol.1 No.1, May, 1991)</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Dr. Muhammad used the case of Brazil, which has the second largest
|
||||
black population in the world, to prove that the memorandum was
|
||||
being implemented. "Today in Brazil, 40% of the women of
|
||||
childbearing age have been surgically sterilized with funds
|
||||
provided by the USAID," he said, "and 90% of those sterilized
|
||||
women are black."</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>He insisted that this genocide was the real agenda of Bush's New
|
||||
World Order; that it not only motivated the invasion of Panama and
|
||||
the kidnapping of Gen. Manuel Noriega, but also the continuing
|
||||
murder of the nation of Iraq. He told the audience that these were
|
||||
just the opening battles in the war of the advanced sector nations
|
||||
of the North against the developing nations of the South. Dr.
|
||||
Muhammad denounced George Bush as a wicked man who cherished his
|
||||
membership in the satanic secret society Skull and Bones. He
|
||||
reminded the audience that the "skull and bones" was also the
|
||||
emblem on the flag flown by the slave traders who raided Africa,
|
||||
as well as of the latter day pirates.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>AIDS and 'population control'</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Given the Anglo-American establishment's commitment to mass
|
||||
murder, the effort to suppress the promising research of Dr. Koech
|
||||
and his colleagues should come as no surprise to anyone, the
|
||||
Nation of Islam leader said. In fact, he contended, there is
|
||||
substantial evidence to indicate that AIDS was developed as a
|
||||
race-specific population control measure. Dr. Muhammad ridiculed
|
||||
the theory that AIDS originated when the virus made a species jump
|
||||
from the African green monkey to the African population. "We lived
|
||||
with the green monkey for thousands of years and never had any
|
||||
problems. The green monkey isn't our enemy. The IMF is."</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Dr. Muhammad, who is a trained surgeon, said he traveled to Kenya
|
||||
to see for himself what the alpha interferon derivative, which
|
||||
goes under the trade name Kemron, was really all about. Dr.
|
||||
Muhammad reported that he interviewed the research team in their
|
||||
laboratory, was permitted to review their data, and to examine
|
||||
AIDS patients currently undergoing treatment with Kemron and with
|
||||
a new, more advanced form of Kemron, the drug Immunex, which
|
||||
contains a greater number of alpha interferon components than the
|
||||
original drug. Dr. Muhammad stressed that although the new drug
|
||||
was only a treatment and not a cure for the deadly HIV virus, he
|
||||
was tremendously hopeful and encouraged by the dramatic
|
||||
improvement in the condition of those undergoing treatment.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Dr. Muhammad introduced Dr. Barbara Justice, a well-known New York
|
||||
City-based cancer surgeon who has sent 54 AIDS patients to Kenya
|
||||
for treatment over the past year. Dr. Justice reported that 97% of
|
||||
her patients showed marked improvement within weeks of beginning
|
||||
treatment, and that most were able to regain some degree of
|
||||
normalcy in their ability to function.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>It has been almost impossible for anyone outside of Kenya
|
||||
administering Kemron on an experimental basis in the to assess the
|
||||
work of the Kenyan team, which has been treatment of AIDS since
|
||||
1989, since it has been systematically blacked out of the
|
||||
scientific literature. Dr. Koech was to present his data, first at
|
||||
the International AIDS Conference in the United States in 1987,
|
||||
and then again at the 1991 AIDS Conference in Italy. On both
|
||||
occasions, his invitation was inexplicably withdrawn.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Last year, Dr. Koech decided to take his data directly to the U.S.
|
||||
medical community, and an extensive U.S. lecture tour was planned.
|
||||
That tour was abruptly cancelled when the State Department refused
|
||||
to issue Dr. Koech the necessary permission to enter the United
|
||||
States.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>This is certainly not the first time that important AIDS research
|
||||
has been suppressed. Quite the contrary, it is part of a
|
||||
continuing criminal pattern of lies and cover-up. The importance
|
||||
of a rapid evaluation of Dr. Koech's work with Kemron and Immunex
|
||||
is obvious. Currently, the only treatment available to AIDS
|
||||
victims is the drug AZT; however, AZT therapy is prohibitively
|
||||
expensive and carries with it extremely destructive side effects,
|
||||
especially with prolonged use. Additionally, a recent study
|
||||
conducted by the U.S. Army showed that, for unexplained reasons,
|
||||
AZT therapy is not only largely ineffective in the treatment of
|
||||
blacks, but that, in fact, AZT seems to aggravate symptoms in an
|
||||
alarming number of black patients.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Kenya's President Daniel Arap Moi clearly finds the Koech team's
|
||||
findings to be convincing. He recently announced that his
|
||||
government was building a factory to allow the mass production of
|
||||
alpha interferon.**</p>

produced by the CIA at its laboratories and tested on American
|
||||
prisoners who took the virus with them to the outside world when
|
||||
released from prison and then it spread throughout the world."
|
||||
- Muammar Al-Qadhafi speaking at the International Conference for
|
||||
Peace in the Mediterranean, 4-6 May, 1990.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> On July 4, 1984, the Indian daily Patriot published a
|
||||
horrifying report that the disease AIDS was believed to
|
||||
have originated from a virus created in the laboratories
|
||||
at the U.S. germ warfare research institute at Fort
|
||||
Detrick, Maryland. The editor explained that the
|
||||
information had come from a well-known American scientist
|
||||
and anthropologist who expressed the fear that India might
|
||||
face a danger from the disease in the near future. The
|
||||
American had to remain anonymous. He was obviously in
|
||||
danger for having disclosed so deadly a secret. At that
|
||||
time, when the full horror of the incurable disease was
|
||||
not known Patriot reported that the World Health
|
||||
Organisation believed AIDS posed the gravest threat to the
|
||||
entire population of the world. More on the World Health
|
||||
Organisation later. The British Sunday Express, 26
|
||||
October, 1986, with banner headlines, and an "exclusive"
|
||||
label, announced "AIDS made in lab. shock." The front-page
|
||||
story said that the virus was created during laboratory
|
||||
experiments which "went disastrously wrong." It added that
|
||||
a massive cover-up had kept the secret from the world. The
|
||||
Sunday Express quoted a British expert, Dr. John Seale,
|
||||
who first reported his conclusion that the virus was
|
||||
man-made last August, 1986, in the Royal Society of
|
||||
Medicine Journal. He said that his report was met with a
|
||||
"deadly silence" from the medical profession, and that
|
||||
made him very suspicious. The editor of the Journal
|
||||
agreed, according to Dr. Seale, that "it sounded like a
|
||||
conspiracy of silence." The second expert quoted by the
|
||||
Sunday Express, was Prof. Jacob Segal, retired Director of
|
||||
the Institute of Biology in Berlin. It said, "our
|
||||
investigators have revealed that two U.S. Embassy
|
||||
officials made a two-hour visit to Prof. Segal at his home
|
||||
two weeks ago questioning him about what he knows, what he
|
||||
thinks, where he got his information, and what he intends
|
||||
doing with his report." The Professor told the reporters,
|
||||
"one said he was a historian, and the other said he was a
|
||||
political consul. But I am positive they were from the
|
||||
CIA, and that they were deeply concerned that the cover-up
|
||||
over the origin of AIDS was going to be exposed." I told
|
||||
them I had known that in the mid-70s experiments were
|
||||
being carried out at Fort Detrick, where the U.S. Army
|
||||
Medical Research Command has its headquarters, on
|
||||
volunteer long-term prisoners who were promised their
|
||||
freedom after the tests. Almost certainly the scientists
|
||||
were unaware of the extent of their terrible creation -
|
||||
the AIDS virus.
|
||||
WHO Involvement?
|
||||
The third expert quoted in the Sunday Express was Dr.
|
||||
Robert Strecker, an internist and gastroentarologist from
|
||||
Glendale, California, who stated "it must have been
|
||||
genetically engineered." Strecker believes, after years of
|
||||
exhaustive research, that the AIDS virus is indeed
|
||||
man-made. Strecker has alleged that AIDS was engineered at
|
||||
the request of the World Health Organisation and other
|
||||
scientific groups who, according to Strecker, injected the
|
||||
disease during preventative vaccines. WHO, he says, along
|
||||
with the International Agency for Research on Cancer and
|
||||
The National Institute on Health, requested the production
|
||||
of a virus that would attack the immune system's T-cells.
|
||||
AIDS, he says, is a hybrid of two animal viruses - bovine
|
||||
leukemia (found in cattle) and a sheep brain virus called
|
||||
visna. This new virus was given as vaccinations in Haiti,
|
||||
Brazil, Africa and the Caribbean by WHO in a 13-year
|
||||
campaign against smallpox in Third World nations, reports
|
||||
indicate. Strecker, in his 97-minute videotape, "The
|
||||
Strecker Memorandum," cites specific documentation
|
||||
supporting theories that AIDS is a result of that direct
|
||||
request. For example, from Volume 47 of Bulletin of the
|
||||
World Health Organisation (1972), page 259: "The effects
|
||||
of virus infection of different cell types (e.g.,
|
||||
Macrophages, T and B lymphocytes) should be studied in
|
||||
greater detail with morphological changes perhaps serving
|
||||
as an indication of functional alteration..." "The
|
||||
possibility should also be looked into that the immune
|
||||
response to the virus may itself be impaired if the
|
||||
infecting virus damages more or less selectively the cells
|
||||
responding to the viral antigens..." In fact, a May 11,
|
||||
1987 frontpage article in the London Times, headlined
|
||||
"Smallpox Vaccine Triggered AIDS Virus," said WHO was
|
||||
investigating new evidence suggesting that "immunization
|
||||
from the smallpox vaccine Vaccinia awakened the
|
||||
unsuspected, dormant human immuno defense virus infection
|
||||
(HIV)." Vaccinia was the actual vaccine given as smallpox
|
||||
deterrents during the WHO project. Were the AIDS
|
||||
infections intentional, accidental or coincidence?
|
||||
According to Strecker in his "Memorandum," a key part of
|
||||
the actual study "was to be the time relationship between
|
||||
infection and antigen administration," which suggests WHO
|
||||
officials - and other agencies who were directly dependent
|
||||
on the United States government for research grants - had
|
||||
to have known. The denials were not long in coming. But
|
||||
the British Sunday Telegraph exposed itself. It said the
|
||||
story (the Sunday Express article) was invented by the
|
||||
Russians "to smear the Americans," and recalled that it
|
||||
had appeared in the Soviet journal, Literary Gazette. It
|
||||
said this paper based its report on the Patriot - and that
|
||||
the Patriot report did not exist! Professor Segal
|
||||
describes as "ludicrous and scientifically incredible" the
|
||||
theory that the virus came from African green monkeys. One
|
||||
thing is certain: the controversy surrounding the AIDS
|
||||
virus will not die.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>A Weapon Against Black People?
|
||||
Zear Miles, a Black industrial engineer, who has studied
|
||||
the AIDS virus and its origins for about six years has
|
||||
stated that he has proof from various documentation and
|
||||
letters from other AIDS researchers to prove that the
|
||||
virus was made in an American military lab as a means to
|
||||
suppress Blacks. In his document entitled "Rape Africa",
|
||||
Miles researched the origin of the AIDS virus from 1952,
|
||||
when the federal government had enough blood types and
|
||||
characteristics of every nationality in the world up to
|
||||
the King Alfred plan which called for the extinction of
|
||||
Blacks in national security emergencies. Miles learned
|
||||
that through National Security Council Memorandum 46,
|
||||
dated 1978, which called for a possible way to gauge and
|
||||
control the impact of the growing Black movement, the
|
||||
government was researching possible ways to suppress Black
|
||||
hostility toward the authorities. Later called the King
|
||||
Alfred plan, the scheme called for the extinction of
|
||||
Blacks by the year 2000 with an AIDS-like virus. Miles
|
||||
said he also gauged the increasing number of AIDS cases in
|
||||
which the number of Black contractors have gone up
|
||||
significantly compared with Whites, citing that the AIDS
|
||||
virus attacked a Black person's immune system and
|
||||
destroyed it in six weeks as opposed to a White person's
|
||||
time of six months.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The Evidence
|
||||
What is the evidence available to the layman. First, the
|
||||
initial cases were reported in New York and there is no
|
||||
dispute that Fort Detrick was working on immunological
|
||||
defence against infection. The British Guardian reported
|
||||
on October 27, 1986, that in 1969 evidence was given to a
|
||||
Washington Appropriation Committee that "within the next
|
||||
five or ten years it would probably be possible to make a
|
||||
new infective micro-organism which would differ from any
|
||||
known disease causing organism. Most important, that it
|
||||
might be refractory to the immunological and therapeutic
|
||||
properties on which we depend to maintain our relative
|
||||
freedom from infectious disease." "Refractory" means,
|
||||
according to the Oxford Dictionary, "not yielding to
|
||||
treatment." AIDS answers precisely to that description.
|
||||
On September 24, 1986, the Daily Telegraph reported from
|
||||
Washington, "Enough of a debilitating virus to infect the
|
||||
whole world, disappeared from an American germwarfare
|
||||
laboratory five years ago, and has never been traced, an
|
||||
environment group claimed yesterday in a Washington Court
|
||||
action aimed at halting biological weapons research." In
|
||||
1968, the J.D. Bernal Peace Library organised a conference
|
||||
on the dangers of biological warfare research. Ritchie
|
||||
Calder said then that among the weapons being stockpiled
|
||||
were some designed to bring about genetic changes. He said
|
||||
the "doomsday bug was under wraps" and that there was a
|
||||
conspiracy of silence about germ weapons because the
|
||||
implications were so frightening." He told the British
|
||||
Daily Mirror after his address that "somewhere in the
|
||||
world a germ is being cultured to which we would have no
|
||||
natural resistance and to which there would be no sure
|
||||
defence." A precise description of AIDS. The British
|
||||
Observer, on June 30, 1968, quoted from an article in the
|
||||
Journal of General Microbiology by W.D. Lawton of Fort
|
||||
Detrick, and R.C. Morris and T.W. Burrows of the British
|
||||
microbiological research station at Porton. One paragraph
|
||||
said, "By engineering the genetics of individual strains,
|
||||
microbiologists aim to produce a single strain containing
|
||||
the most deadly combination of properties." Again, a
|
||||
description of AIDS. The article says that at that time
|
||||
Porton, according to the government, was concerned only
|
||||
with defence applications of research, but Fort Detrick
|
||||
was only committed to developing microbiological weapons
|
||||
for offence. The Japanese carried out germ warfare
|
||||
research in occupied China during the war. Some of these
|
||||
criminals were captured by the Soviets and duly tried and
|
||||
sentenced. Others were given immunity by the Americans and
|
||||
taken to work at Fort Detrick. In 1969, after the AIDS
|
||||
virus was loose, negotiations began on a Convention
|
||||
banning biological weapons, and it came into force in
|
||||
1972. In its first review conference in 1980, it was
|
||||
reported that 80 countries had ratified. But there is no
|
||||
provision in the Convention to ban research or for
|
||||
verification. Nichola Sims, who has written a book on
|
||||
biological disarmament, wrote recently, "the failure of
|
||||
the Convention to impose any restrictions even on
|
||||
'offensive' biological warfare research, has been
|
||||
frequently criticised." And she refers to popular fears
|
||||
that a "super germ breakthrough in the means of waging
|
||||
biological or toxin warfare is just around the corner and
|
||||
may induce the possessor of such a germ to break out of
|
||||
the Convention." She quotes Dr. Robert K. Mikulak of the
|
||||
U.S. Arms Control and Disarmament Agency for the statement
|
||||
that "there is no justification for classified military
|
||||
research on the question in any country." But so far there
|
||||
is no inspection or verification. A much more recent
|
||||
accusation against the United States for the manufacturing
|
||||
of the AIDS virus comes from the Libyan UN Ambassador, Mr.
|
||||
Ali Ahmed Elhouderi. On January 9, 1992, at a press
|
||||
conference, he stated that the AIDS virus was produced in
|
||||
a laboratory probably as a weapon. He said, "We think it
|
||||
is man-made and it was done in laboratories. And it was
|
||||
not, as suggested, coming from monkeys in Africa." He also
|
||||
suggested that the virus had been manufactured at the time
|
||||
of the Vietnam War. These statements fit perfectly into
|
||||
place as research would have been carried out at that time
|
||||
at Fort Detrick for offensive purposes against the North
|
||||
Vietnamese.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>AIDS Was Man-Made
|
||||
On all the circumstantial evidence, the layman will almost
|
||||
certainly reject the idea that the escape of the man-made
|
||||
AIDS virus was the result of a disastrous error during
|
||||
innocent civilian research. We can assuredly conclude that
|
||||
it was the result of germ warfare research, and the finger
|
||||
of guilt points to the United States. The scientists
|
||||
could not have visualised that they would let loose a
|
||||
so-far incurable disease that may and possibly will wipe
|
||||
out millions, particularly in the Third World, where the
|
||||
majority of the world's population lives. Never was the
|
||||
need greater for the nations to drop their differences and
|
||||
to concentrate all their skill and resources in a
|
||||
world-wide battle against this terrible threat, and to end
|
||||
the horror of germ warfare research.**</p>

|

|
||||
<p>The Mystery of Skull Valley</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>By NIKOLAI FILIPPOV</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Because of an error made by an airman testing a new germ weapon, a
|
||||
deadly virus attacks the population of a small town in highland
|
||||
Utah, USA. An incurable disease begins to kill people like a
|
||||
plague epidemic. In an attempt to cover up the traces of their
|
||||
crime, the military authorities artificially cause a landslide
|
||||
that buries the town and doom chance survivors to lifelong
|
||||
isolation.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> This is the plot of Vector, a novel by Henry Sutton, an
|
||||
American author. This book is based on dramatic events
|
||||
during which the victims were fortunately not people but
|
||||
animals. March 14-20, 1968 was a black week for American
|
||||
farmers grazing sheep in the remote pasturelands of
|
||||
semi-desert Skull Valley, Utah. About 6,500 sheep died
|
||||
there in those seven days under mysterious circumstances.
|
||||
Even more of a mystery was that people, cattle and other
|
||||
animals in the area were unscathed. Everybody - farmers,
|
||||
residents of Utah, journalists - felt certain that the
|
||||
accident was linked to the US Army chemical and
|
||||
bacteriological testing ground in Dugway with an area of
|
||||
several thousand square kilometres in the vicinity of
|
||||
Skull Valley. Indeed, at that very time the thousands of
|
||||
Dugway employees were carrying out large scale experiments
|
||||
in preparation for further escalation of the chemical war
|
||||
and the start of a germ war in Vietnam. For a whole year
|
||||
the Defence Department emphatically denied that animals in
|
||||
Skull Valley were being affected by the chemical or
|
||||
biological agents disseminated in the atmosphere during
|
||||
the test. In an attempt at a cover-up, experts at the
|
||||
proving ground advanced hypotheses which must have seemed
|
||||
untenable even to laymen about the sheep having been
|
||||
killed by poisonous plants or a natural epizootic.
|
||||
However, an inquiry by Utah authorities in collaboration
|
||||
with veterinarians and health experts compelled the
|
||||
Pentagon to admit its responsibility for the death of the
|
||||
sheep. Even so, no one at Dugway was punished. The blame
|
||||
for a terrible crime posing a real threat to people's
|
||||
health due to a gross violation of safety standards in
|
||||
conducting tests was placed on an unfortunate accident.
|
||||
According to the official version formulated under the
|
||||
direction of the U.S. military authorities, a test of
|
||||
TMU-28/B spray tanks with nerve agent VX, was carried out
|
||||
at Dugway on March 13, 1968. The gas was dispersed from an
|
||||
F-4E jet bomber by means of two spray tanks with a total
|
||||
capacity of 1,200 litres. The bomber flew at an altitude
|
||||
of 40 to 45 m. During the test something went wrong with
|
||||
one of the tanks (or so the version ran), and besides, the
|
||||
direction of the wind varied, with the result that part of
|
||||
the nerve gas was carried beyond the proving ground. A
|
||||
cloud of aerosol VX allegedly contaminated pasturelands on
|
||||
an area of 400-500 sq. km. Skull Valley was not the only
|
||||
area where sheep died, for a cloud of aerosol VX reached
|
||||
Res Valley, killing sheep 70 km away from where the poison
|
||||
gas had been released. Anyone who has read publications
|
||||
dealing with the accident in Skull Valley and Res Valley
|
||||
is bound to detect a contradiction between the military
|
||||
authorities' version and the facts. The Pentagon has yet
|
||||
to explain why a whole year passed before it made up its
|
||||
mind about what chemical or biological agent caused the
|
||||
death of the sheep outside Dugway. If the Dugway test had
|
||||
to do only with VX, then that gas was the only cause of
|
||||
the sheep's death and this could have been stated at once.
|
||||
There is reason to presume that over a short period
|
||||
experiments were carried out at Dugway involving a whole
|
||||
range of poison gases and biological agents. But it is
|
||||
logical to suppose that even in such a contingency experts
|
||||
should know well the properties and casualty effects of
|
||||
the test materials. And this implies that researchers must
|
||||
have had no difficulty in ascertaining the nature of the
|
||||
agent which killed so many sheep. The official story of
|
||||
the experiment of March 13, 1968, says that the wind
|
||||
carried beyond Dugway, in the form of vapours and highly
|
||||
dispersed aerosol, a mere nine kg, or 0.8 per cent, of the
|
||||
total amount of VX gas to be dispersed. Field chemical
|
||||
control cannot ensure such a degree of accuracy. But the
|
||||
authors of the version needed to cite some figure in order
|
||||
to make people believe that the sheep had been killed by a
|
||||
nerve gas. At the same time, the Pentagon wanted to
|
||||
conceal from the public the real danger posed by chemical
|
||||
weapon tests in the atmosphere to residents of Utah and so
|
||||
it withheld information about the actual amount of gas
|
||||
released over Skull Valley. The Pentagon officials
|
||||
suggested that the contamination level in the Skull Valley
|
||||
pastureland where deaths occurred among sheep averaged a
|
||||
mere 0.02 gram per hectare. Let us note by way of
|
||||
comparison that to kill humans, it would be necessary
|
||||
according to U.S. data available to disseminate from one
|
||||
to three kilograms of VX per hectare of target, or 100
|
||||
thousand times more than the contamination level in Skull
|
||||
Valley given in the official version. Reports said that in
|
||||
a flock totalling 2,800 sheep, 2,500 or 90 per cent, were
|
||||
killed. No such effect is possible where the VX
|
||||
contamination level is 0.02 gram per hectare. A
|
||||
publication put out by the Dugway proving ground said that
|
||||
during the test on March 13, 1968, the greatest distance
|
||||
at which VX drops spilled on the ground had been 5.4 km
|
||||
and not 70 km, as the official version would have it. The
|
||||
Pentagon's information on one and the same fact varies
|
||||
from document to document and from period to period.
|
||||
Surely this shows that the version is false. A
|
||||
contaminated cloud spreading wide in the atmosphere only
|
||||
retains vapours and minute particles of aerosol which do
|
||||
not settle on the ground and can be inhaled. It follows
|
||||
that had such a cloud really floated over Skull Valley, it
|
||||
would have caused inhalational casualties in other animals
|
||||
as well, including cattle and horses, but no such thing
|
||||
happened, according to documentary evidence. In the early
|
||||
days after the accident, before the hypothesis about VX
|
||||
was advanced, doubts were expressed even by Brig. Gen.
|
||||
William Stone. He rightly asked why the gas had only
|
||||
killed sheep without affecting people. There were also
|
||||
other moot points. Why were the diseased sheep shot dead?
|
||||
Why was no attempt made to save them by evacuating them to
|
||||
an uncontaminated area or by treating them with atropine
|
||||
or other antidotes? Marr Fawcett, a veterinarian of Utah,
|
||||
refused to believe that the sheep had been poisoned with
|
||||
VX, for in that case many of them could, in his opinion,
|
||||
have been saved by means of antidotes. Dr. Kent Van
|
||||
Kampen, a veterinary pathologist in Utah, said in April
|
||||
1968, shortly after the accident, that as early as March
|
||||
17, 1968, the supposition that the sheep had been hit by a
|
||||
chemical poison affecting the nervous system could have
|
||||
been refuted without difficulty since all symptoms of such
|
||||
poisoning were lacking. The death of an animal poisoned
|
||||
with a nerve gas such as VX is accompanied by spasms and
|
||||
paresis of muscles in the limbs. Yet judging by what sheep
|
||||
herders said in the early days of the inquiry into the
|
||||
accident, dying sheep had shown no signs of spasms. True,
|
||||
later on someone saw to it that a videotape recording
|
||||
allegedly illustrating the Skull Valley accident was
|
||||
projected widely. The tape showed the death of a single
|
||||
sheep shaking with spasms as a group of civilians looked
|
||||
on. One year after the accident, Kent Van Kampen and Marr
|
||||
Fawcett contributed in collaboration with other experts of
|
||||
Utah an article to the Journal of the American Veterinary
|
||||
Medical Association setting out the causes and
|
||||
circumstances of the sheep's death in Skull Valley, their
|
||||
version tallying with the Pentagon's. There was a footnote
|
||||
saying that in writing their article, the authors had
|
||||
enjoyed expert assistance (it is easy enough to guess what
|
||||
kind of assistance) in particular from Dr. Mortimer
|
||||
Rothenberg, the science director at Dugway, and Dr.
|
||||
Bernard MacNamara of Edgewood Arsenal, the chief U.S. Army
|
||||
centre for the development of chemical and germ weapons.
|
||||
We might as well note at this point that shortly after the
|
||||
sheep's death in Skull Valley Dr. Rothenberg, trying to
|
||||
exonerate Dugway from blame for the accident, declared
|
||||
that the symptoms displayed by the sheep had nothing
|
||||
whatever in common with those of nerve gas poisoning. And
|
||||
so, it took the Pentagon a year to invent an explanation
|
||||
for the sheep's death and make the civilian experts
|
||||
mentioned above present its version as their own, thereby
|
||||
striking a bargain with their conscience. The videotape
|
||||
which showed a sheep's death from VX was intended to serve
|
||||
the same purpose. But the forgery was too crude for
|
||||
knowledgeable people to mistake it for the truth. They
|
||||
realised at once that the "documentary" showed a sheep
|
||||
injected with a nerve gas by means of a syringe, that is,
|
||||
in the same way as this is done in demonstrating the
|
||||
effect of nerve gases on animals. They deduced this from
|
||||
the absence of any other living or dead sheep on the
|
||||
screen as well as from the presence of people wearing no
|
||||
gas masks or protective clothes, whereas safety
|
||||
regulations forbid anyone to enter without taking these
|
||||
precautions in an area contaminated by VX to a degree
|
||||
killing livestock. There is no such ban where a poison gas
|
||||
is injected into the body of an animal outside a
|
||||
contaminated area. A further fact worthy of note is that
|
||||
the worker's teams which buried the dead sheep had no gas
|
||||
masks on, judging by other videotapes and various
|
||||
photographs. This is permissible only when the nature of
|
||||
an agent which has caused the death of animals is known
|
||||
for certain. Furthermore, it is necessary to note that the
|
||||
agent used was completely harmless to humans. This detail,
|
||||
like the others cited above, indicates that the sheep in
|
||||
Skull Valley were killed by something other than nerve
|
||||
gas. The death of livestock so far away from the testing
|
||||
ground, as in the case of Skull Valley, could only be
|
||||
caused by a biological agent. Experts could establish
|
||||
without difficulty that nine litres of biological agent is
|
||||
enough to generate a pathogenic aerosol cloud five km
|
||||
long, two km deep and 100 m high. One litre of aerosol
|
||||
cloud could contain several hundred units of pathogen.
|
||||
Such a cloud can sail many dozens of kilometres without
|
||||
losing its casualty effects. Consideration of the death
|
||||
rate of biological agents during the drift of aerosol
|
||||
particles in the atmosphere makes no difference as far as
|
||||
the main conclusion is concerned. Poison gas tests
|
||||
according to regulations in force at Dugway are generally
|
||||
conducted in the morning to ensure that enough daylight
|
||||
remains for collecting data on the results of tests and
|
||||
cleaning the test site. The dissemination of VX on March
|
||||
13, 1968, is alleged to have been carried out one hour
|
||||
before sunset. Evening experiments are particularly
|
||||
typical in the case of biological agents, for researchers
|
||||
are careful to preclude the disastrous impact of sunrays
|
||||
on pathogens. The year 1968, when the Skull Valley
|
||||
accident occurred, has gone down in history as the peak of
|
||||
U.S. chemical warfare in Vietnam, Laos and Kampuchea. In
|
||||
thelate 1960s, the Pentagon worked at a frantic pace to
|
||||
develop new chemical and germ weapons. A report by the
|
||||
House Committee on Science and Astronautics said that in
|
||||
the years preceding the accident, the Pentagon had been
|
||||
engaged in a vast programme for germ weapon testing. The
|
||||
tests were conducted at several military testing grounds,
|
||||
on ocean islands, in the Panama Canal zone, Alaska, New
|
||||
York City and San Diego as well as on airfields, in
|
||||
subways and on highways. The Dugway test made on March 13,
|
||||
1968, or somewhat earlier could be one of those tests. It
|
||||
is reasonable to suppose that during that test use was
|
||||
made of biological agents based on a virus selectively
|
||||
killing sheep without doing any harm to humans. It could
|
||||
be visna, a virus which has been intensively studied since
|
||||
the late 1950s in several research centres, including Fort
|
||||
Dettrick, Maryland, then the main U.S. centre for the
|
||||
development of germ weapons. No visna-caused diseases have
|
||||
been recorded among humans. This virus hardly affects
|
||||
cattle, horses or other animals. Its properties in this
|
||||
respect coincide entirely with those of the agent
|
||||
responsible for the Skull Valley accident in 1968. Visna
|
||||
affects the central nervous system of sheep, robbing their
|
||||
body of immunity. The symptoms are progressive weakness,
|
||||
shortness of breath, a wobbly gait, sagging withers and a
|
||||
drooping head. The end affect is paresis and paralysis of
|
||||
the skeletal muscles and then death. Similar symptoms were
|
||||
registered in sheep affected with the Skull Valley
|
||||
disease. The disease caused by visna is incurable. This
|
||||
explains why the epidemiological service of Utah did the
|
||||
right thing by deciding to slaughter the diseased sheep.
|
||||
No antidotes could have helped the animals in the least
|
||||
and were not used, either. If during the March 1968 tests
|
||||
at Dugway visna was used as a simultant modelling the
|
||||
properties of germ weapons, it is clear why the men who
|
||||
buried the dead sheep used no gas masks or protective
|
||||
clothes, since visna is harmless to man. And this invites
|
||||
another conclusion: at that time, the nature of the agent
|
||||
which affected the sheep was known to at least a small
|
||||
group of people in charge of removing the effects of the
|
||||
accident. The establishment of investigation committees
|
||||
was merely designed to conceal the real objectives and
|
||||
tasks of the Dugway experiments from the public. The
|
||||
mystery of those criminal experiments has begun to come to
|
||||
light in recent years. Competent scientists consider that
|
||||
visna was used in the United States for genetic
|
||||
engineering work which resulted in creating HIV, a
|
||||
chimeric virus causing an incurable infectious disease of
|
||||
man known as AIDS. Research into HIV at the molecular
|
||||
level has shown that 60 per cent of its genome is
|
||||
identical with that of visna and the rest is a built-in
|
||||
nucleotide sequence isolated from the genome of another
|
||||
retrovirus, HLTV-I. HIV, or the pathogen of AIDS, was
|
||||
designed in U.S. genetic engineering laboratories on
|
||||
instruction from the Pentagon. The purpose of this virus
|
||||
is to augment the U.S. germ (biological) warfare potential
|
||||
by acquiring a capability for depriving an enemy
|
||||
population of vitally important immunity at the threshold
|
||||
of a major or local armed conflict. The conclusion about
|
||||
the complicity of the U.S. military authorities in the
|
||||
appearance of AIDS, the new dangerous disease which
|
||||
affects humans, is shared by John Seale of Britain, Jacob
|
||||
Segal of Germany, Robert Strecker of the United States and
|
||||
other noted scientists and experts who have carefully
|
||||
analysed available scientific data. [See New Dawn Vol.2,
|
||||
No.1] For the time being, they have discounted the events
|
||||
and facts connected with the Skull Valley accident.
|
||||
Nevertheless, they have come to the unanimous conclusion
|
||||
that in designing HIV visna was made use of. Dr. Seale has
|
||||
said that a scientist who wanted to evolve a virus capable
|
||||
of destroying man's immunity system and provoking a
|
||||
disease similar to AIDS would have to resort to visna.
|
||||
The "patent" for inventing HIV should be issued to the
|
||||
United States because it was there that the virus was
|
||||
developed and also because Americans were the first
|
||||
victims of AIDS. The disease, which broke out in New York,
|
||||
was carried to other big cities in the United States and
|
||||
then to other countries and continents. Its virus was
|
||||
transmitted by infected Americans serving at overseas
|
||||
military bases. Besides, AIDS was contracted in the United
|
||||
States by Australian and European tourists vacationing
|
||||
there. HIV spread to Middle East and other Arab countries
|
||||
which imported blood from donors stricken with AIDS. In
|
||||
October 1986, John Seale quoted during an interview with
|
||||
the Guardian an extract from a report prepared by the
|
||||
Pentagon in 1969. It said that in the next five to ten
|
||||
years an infective micro-organism might be evolved that
|
||||
would differ substantially from all pathogens known so
|
||||
far. Its most important property, the report said, would
|
||||
consist in attacking the immune system and internal organs
|
||||
on which the ability of the human body to resist
|
||||
infectious diseases depends. Consequently, the AIDS
|
||||
pathogen was deliberately created and development was
|
||||
planned and funded. The test at Dugway which killed so
|
||||
many sheep in Skull Valley turned out to be part of the
|
||||
Pentagon's programme for designing a new biological agent,
|
||||
the AIDS pathogen.**</p>

<p>AIDS: As Biological & Psychological Warfare</p>
|

|

<p>By WAVES FOREST</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>It is hard to imagine that a cure for AIDS would be withheld for
|
||||
economic reasons alone. Could there be some other motive?</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Despite repeated denials from Defense Department
|
||||
officials, allegations persist that AIDS is a genetically
|
||||
altered virus, which has been deliberately released to
|
||||
wipe out homosexuals and/or non-whites in the U.S. and
|
||||
reduce populations in Third World countries. At first
|
||||
glance it seems like the epitome of paranoia to accuse the
|
||||
military of conspiring to exterminate citizens of their
|
||||
own country, and even some of their own troops. However,
|
||||
the vast majority of military personnel could be
|
||||
completely unaware of such a plot in their midst, while a
|
||||
relative handful of traitors in key positions could
|
||||
conduct it under cover of classified operations. And the
|
||||
circumstantial evidence is actually quite compelling, that
|
||||
the AIDS virus was artificially engineered, and planted in
|
||||
several different locations at about the same time through
|
||||
vaccination programs, and possibly blood bank
|
||||
contamination. At a House Appropriations hearing in 1969,
|
||||
the Defense Department's Biological Warfare (BW) division
|
||||
requested funds to develop through gene-splicing a new
|
||||
disease that would both resist and break down a victim's
|
||||
immune system. "Within the next 5 to 10 years it would
|
||||
probably be possible to make a new infective
|
||||
micro-organism which would differ in certain important
|
||||
respects from any known disease-causing organisms. Most
|
||||
important of these is that it might be refractory to the
|
||||
immunological and therapeutic processes upon which we
|
||||
depend to maintain our relative freedom from infectious
|
||||
disease." (See A Higher Form of Killing: The Secret Story
|
||||
of Chemical and Biological Warfare by R. Harris and J.
|
||||
Paxman, p.266, Hill and Wang, pubs.) The funds were
|
||||
approved. AIDS appeared within the requested time frame,
|
||||
and has the exact characteristics specified. In 1972, the
|
||||
World Health Organisation published a similar proposal:
|
||||
"An attempt should be made to ascertain whether viruses
|
||||
can in fact exert selective effects on immune function,
|
||||
e.g. by... affecting T cell function as opposed to B cell
|
||||
function. The possibility should also be looked into that
|
||||
the immune response to the virus itself may be impaired if
|
||||
the infecting virus damages more or less selectively the
|
||||
cells responding to the viral antigens." (Bulletin of the
|
||||
W.H.O., vol. 47, p.257-274.) This is a clinical
|
||||
description of the function of the AIDS virus. The
|
||||
incidence of AIDS infections in Africa coincides exactly
|
||||
with the locations of the massive W.H.O. smallpox
|
||||
vaccination program in the mid-1970's (London Times, May
|
||||
11, 1987). Some 14,000 Haitians then on UN secondment to
|
||||
Central Africa were also vaccinated in this campaign.
|
||||
Personnel actually conducting the vaccinations may have
|
||||
been completely unaware that the vaccine was anything
|
||||
other than what they were told. A striking feature of
|
||||
AIDS is that it is ethno-selective. The rate of infection
|
||||
is twice as high among Blacks, Latinos and Native
|
||||
Americans as among whites, with death coming two to three
|
||||
times as swiftly. And over 80% of the children with AIDS
|
||||
and 90% of infants born with it are among these
|
||||
minorities. "Ethnic weapons" that would strike certain
|
||||
racial groups more heavily than others have been a
|
||||
longstanding U.S. Army BW objective. (Harris and Paxman,
|
||||
p.265) Under the current U.S. administration biological
|
||||
warfare research spending has increased 500 percent,
|
||||
primarily in the area of genetic engineering of new
|
||||
disease organisms. The "discovery" of the AIDS virus
|
||||
(HTLV3) was announced by Dr. Robert Gallo at the National
|
||||
Cancer Institute, which is on the grounds of Fort Detrick,
|
||||
Maryland, a primary U.S. Army biological warfare research
|
||||
facility. Actually, the AIDS virus looks and acts much
|
||||
more like a cross between a bovine leukemia virus and a
|
||||
sheep visna (brain-rot) virus, cultured in a human cell
|
||||
culture, than any virus of the HTLV3 group. The closest
|
||||
thing in this case to a "smoking test tube" so far is the
|
||||
AIDS virus itself. If it was possible for such a
|
||||
monstrosity to occur naturally it would have done so ages
|
||||
ago and decimated mankind at that time. Some other life
|
||||
form would presently be in control of this planet
|
||||
(assuming that is not already the case). The Hepatitis B
|
||||
vaccine study in 1978 appears to have been the initial
|
||||
means of planting the infection in New York City. The test
|
||||
protocol specified non-monogamous males only, and
|
||||
homosexuals received a different vaccine from
|
||||
heterosexuals. At least 25-50% of the first reported New
|
||||
York AIDS cases in 1981 had received the Hepatitis B test
|
||||
vaccine in 1978. By 1984, 64% of the vaccine recipients
|
||||
had AIDS, and the figures on the current infection rate
|
||||
for the participants of that study are held by the U.S.
|
||||
State Department of Justice, and "unavailable." The AIDS
|
||||
epidemic emerged full-blown in the three U.S. cities with
|
||||
"organised gay communities" before being reported
|
||||
elsewhere, including Haiti or Africa, so it is
|
||||
epidemiologically impossible for either of those countries
|
||||
to be the origin point for the U.S. infections. Another
|
||||
indication AIDS had multiple origin points is that the
|
||||
14-month doubling time of the disease cannot nearly
|
||||
account for the current number of cases if we assume only
|
||||
a small number of initial infections starting in the late
|
||||
1970s. Before dismissing the possibility that a U.S. Army
|
||||
BW facility would participate in genocide, bear in mind
|
||||
that hundreds of top Nazis were imported into key
|
||||
positions in the U.S. military-intelligence establishment
|
||||
following WWII. U.S. military priorities were then
|
||||
reorientated from defeating Nazis to "defeating" communism
|
||||
at any cost, and strengthening military control of
|
||||
economic and foreign policy decisions. (See Project
|
||||
Paperclip by Clarence Lasby, Atheneum 214, NY, and Gehlen:
|
||||
Spy of the Century by E.H. Cookridge, Random House.)
|
||||
There's no proof those Nazis ever gave up their longterm
|
||||
goals of conquest and genocide, just because they changed
|
||||
countries. Fascism was and is an international phenomenon.
|
||||
It's not as if this was a total reversal of previous U.S.
|
||||
military policy, however. Hitler claimed to have gotten
|
||||
his inspiration for the "final solution" from the
|
||||
extermination of Native Americans in the U.S. For that
|
||||
matter the first example of germ warfare in the U.S. was
|
||||
in 1763 when some of the European colonists gave friendly
|
||||
Indians a number of blankets that had been infected with
|
||||
smallpox, causing many deaths. One indication of the
|
||||
actual U.S. military priorities regarding BW was the
|
||||
importation of the entire Japanese germ warfare unit
|
||||
(#731) following WW II. These people killed over 3,000
|
||||
POWs, including many Americans, in a variety of grisly
|
||||
experiments, yet they were granted complete amnesty and
|
||||
given American military positions in exchange for sharing
|
||||
their research findings with their U.S. Army counterparts.
|
||||
Consider also the callous attitude displayed by top
|
||||
military officials toward veterans suffering from the
|
||||
after-effects of exposure to Agent Orange and radiation
|
||||
from nuclear weapons tests. In fact, since the end of WW
|
||||
II over 200 experimental BW tests have been conducted on
|
||||
civilians and military personnel in the U.S. One example
|
||||
was the test spraying from Sept. 20-26, 1950 of bacillus
|
||||
globigi and syraceus maracezens over 117 square miles of
|
||||
the San Francisco area, causing pneumonia-like infections
|
||||
in many of the residents. The family of one elderly man
|
||||
who died in the test sued the government, but lost. To
|
||||
this day, syraceus is a leading cause of death among the
|
||||
elderly in the San Francisco area. Another case was the
|
||||
joint Army-CIA BW test in 1955, still classified, in which
|
||||
an undisclosed bacteria was released in the Tampa Bay
|
||||
region of Florida, causing a dramatic increase in whooping
|
||||
cough infections, including twelve deaths. A third example
|
||||
was the July 7-10, 1966 release of bacteria throughout the
|
||||
New York subway system, conducted by the U.S. Army's
|
||||
Special Operations Division. Due to the vast number of
|
||||
people exposed it would be virtually impossible to
|
||||
identify, let alone prove, the specific health problems
|
||||
resulting directly from this test. Despite the loyalty of
|
||||
the vast majority of U.S. military personnel toward their
|
||||
country, there are clearly some military officials who
|
||||
have very different intentions, and they occupy high
|
||||
enough positions to impose their priorities on military
|
||||
programs and get away with it, so far. The first detailed
|
||||
charges regarding AIDS as a BW weapon were published in
|
||||
the Patriot newspaper in New Delhi, India, on July 4,
|
||||
1984. It is hard to say where the investigations of this
|
||||
story in the Indian press might have led, if they had not
|
||||
been sidetracked by two major domestic disasters shortly
|
||||
thereafter: the assassination of Indira Gandhi on Oct. 31
|
||||
and the Bhopal Union Carbide plant "accident" that killed
|
||||
several thousand and injured over 200,000 on Dec. 3.
|
||||
Apparently, homosexuals were an initial target in the U.S.
|
||||
because their sexual practices would help in the rapid
|
||||
spread of the disease, and because it was correctly
|
||||
assumed that very few non-homosexual citizens would pay
|
||||
much attention during the early years of the epidemic.
|
||||
Also, the stigma of a "homosexual disease" would interfere
|
||||
with rational analysis and discussion of AIDS. Bear in
|
||||
mind that homosexuals were among the first to be
|
||||
exterminated in Nazi Germany, before Jews and other
|
||||
minorities, so fewer citizens would object. The details
|
||||
of precisely how the AIDS virus was synthesized, mass
|
||||
cultured, and spread by incorporating it into vaccination
|
||||
programs are available but fairly intricate. Evil is hard
|
||||
to confront, especially on the preposterous scale we have
|
||||
here. If you acknowledge the presence of those who think
|
||||
their only hope for survival is to kill off two thirds of
|
||||
all the other kinds, and their ability to manage it, you
|
||||
then pretty much have to do something about it.</p>

|

<p>Immunex</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The North American-based Nation of Islam (NOI) led by Minister
|
||||
Louis Farrakhan launched an offensive in its battle against the
|
||||
deadly "man-made" AIDS virus during its recent Saviours' Day
|
||||
weekend. The following report is courtesy of The Final Call.
|
||||
|
||||
From the rostrum of Christ Universal Temple here, the
|
||||
Honorable Louis Farrakhan announced that the NOI has
|
||||
acquired exclusive distribution rights to the AIDS
|
||||
fighting drug Immunex, an oral alpha-interferon treatment
|
||||
developed in Kenya. "I just got a call from our chief of
|
||||
staff 3 minutes before I came on the rostrum," Minister
|
||||
Farrakhan said, regarding the confirmation of the Immunex
|
||||
agreement that came from Leonard Muhammad in Kenya. "The
|
||||
Nation of Islam is announcing to you that we have the
|
||||
exclusive distribution rights of Immunex throughout the
|
||||
United States of America. "As of this day," he continued,
|
||||
"Min. Alim will still teach, but he is now the Minister of
|
||||
Health and Human Services for the Nation of Islam." Dr.
|
||||
Alim told the cheering audience that the war against AIDS
|
||||
is being won but total victory will not come "until we
|
||||
deal with those responsible for making the AIDS virus."
|
||||
Since the early 1970s under the Nixon administration, he
|
||||
said, the official policy of this government has been to
|
||||
commit genocide against non-white people around the earth.
|
||||
That policy continues under the administration of
|
||||
President George Bush, he said. Dr. Muhammad and former
|
||||
Final Call Editor-in-Chief Abdul Wali Muhammad were sent
|
||||
to Kenya by Minister Farrakhan last year on a fact-finding
|
||||
tour regarding the drug Kemron. While there, the NOI
|
||||
representatives learned about Immunex. Both drugs have
|
||||
shown remarkable effects in relieving AIDS symptoms, but
|
||||
the drugs have received very little media coverage in the
|
||||
U.S. "We would like FDA approval," said Min. Farrakhan,
|
||||
"however we can't wait. We will take any risk, bear any
|
||||
burden to free our people of a man-made disease designed
|
||||
to kill us all." The Minister added that the drug will be
|
||||
offered to all who need it "regardless of race, creed or
|
||||
colour."**

<p> Introduction & Comments by Jim Shults</p>
|

|
||||
<p> INTRODUCTION AND COMMENTS</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> I must admit I am just a little gun shy of doing this
|
||||
particular article. The reason is pretty obvious. Who in hell is
|
||||
going to plead guilty to inventing the AIDS virus. Do I think it
|
||||
was invented? Absolutely and without a doubt.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Firstly, where in hell has it been during the last 5000 years?
|
||||
Why haven't we had exposure to it sooner, like in the last 50 years?</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> All of a sudden certain countries and entire continents are
|
||||
coming down with the AIDS virus and no organization, body, group, or
|
||||
whatever you care to call it has even a clue to the real source, and
|
||||
it sure as hell isn't some monkey in Africa, that's for sure.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Over the last twenty years the genetic scientists have been
|
||||
having a filed day inventing all kinds of new "life." Some have
|
||||
even been granted patents for their creatures, which are usually
|
||||
various types of bacteria, etc.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> One patent was granted for the invention, or more accurately
|
||||
put, creation, of a type of bacteria that eats oil, handy for oil
|
||||
spills I guess. Now do you think for even a second that a virus
|
||||
like the AIDS virus couldn't be created with all the genetic
|
||||
engineering that is going on around the world?</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> There are certain types of bacteria that are living in test
|
||||
tubes in labs around the world that if released would cause the end
|
||||
of mankind in less than a year.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> The real question is why we allow these bozos to play in labs,
|
||||
making all kinds of new and artificial life in the first place. It
|
||||
is going to backfire, in fact the author already feels it has,
|
||||
through the deliberate release of the HIV (human immunodeficiency
|
||||
virus); that's what AIDS is really called.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Something extraordinary happened last June (88'), in fact it
|
||||
was so extraordinary that nothing like it has ever happened before.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> The Surgeon General of the United States had mailed to every
|
||||
mail box and address in the United States a brochure attempting to
|
||||
explain AIDS, its danger, myths and means of transmission. The</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Page 1</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> absolutely amazing thing about this was that it was done at
|
||||
all.
|
||||
Think of this for a minute: the U.S. Government mailed this
|
||||
information to every address in America. That in itself should tell
|
||||
all of us something that the media has somehow missed -- that this
|
||||
is a population-destroying virus.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> That really means that we all are in shit city, race fans, and
|
||||
the Government know it. It is significant that they did the
|
||||
mailing, and that should be very significant to anyone who knows
|
||||
how our government works and what kind of very real panic those
|
||||
who really know are experiencing.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> When something like this brochure is made available as it was,
|
||||
you can be very sure that the boys at the top, including the
|
||||
scientific folks, are up against something they may not beat before
|
||||
it has a very real chance of destroying at least half of mankind!</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> In fact, the fastest time even guessed at, for some kind of
|
||||
beginning cure for some types of AIDS is at least five years and
|
||||
that's thought to be impossible by medical people.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> The author comes up with a very plausible scenario for how
|
||||
rapidly AIDS has been distributed. (We are not blaming the
|
||||
World Health Organization. In the author's scenario he simply
|
||||
indicates that the WHO was used by others.)</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Let's face it, we are in very real trouble. There are several
|
||||
types of new AIDS viruses and more to be discovered, and who is to
|
||||
say how the new ones, not yet mutated, will spread -- a sneeze
|
||||
perhaps?</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Our government and others around the world are not telling us
|
||||
the truth about this stuff in order to protect our poor little dumb
|
||||
minds. I suspect that if we know the truth, an enormous citizen
|
||||
effort could be martialed worldwide which would probably shut down
|
||||
the arms race for the time being.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Again, at the bottom line, we are in big trouble and "they"
|
||||
know it....Many scientists predict we will lose half the world's
|
||||
population (including U.S.) by the year 2000.</p>

<p> William Campbell Douglass, M.D.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> The great powers renounced chemical and biological warfare 20
|
||||
years ago -- but kept right on experimenting. The germ warfare
|
||||
experiments on Seventh Day Adventist soldiers,</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> 1) the Tuskeegee syphilis experiments on prisoners,
|
||||
2) the San Francisco Bay attack by the U.S. Army using
|
||||
serratia marcescens bacteria,
|
||||
3) the New York City subway germ attack
|
||||
4 and many other experiments on humans, largely unknown to
|
||||
the victims, continue in the free world.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> In Novosybirsk, at the Ivanofsky Institute and other Soviet
|
||||
centers of biological warfare, you can be sure that similar
|
||||
diabolical experiments on humans continue at a frantic pace.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> The Soviet press, always masters of the half truth, accused
|
||||
the U.S. Army of having engineered the AIDS virus in the biological
|
||||
warfare laboratories at Fort Detrick, Maryland.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> This was a clever psy-war ploy which, for a while anyway,
|
||||
neutralized those of us who were saying essentially the same thing,
|
||||
that the AIDS virus was probably created through recombinant genetic
|
||||
engineering (the rearranging of genes between two or more species of
|
||||
plants or animal) and/or serial passage: the growing of a virus in
|
||||
a series of generations of tissue culture cells or live animals,
|
||||
thus adapting the virus to a new species, using human tissue culture
|
||||
cells in the top security labs at Fort Detrick.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> People started accusing us of spreading the communist line, not
|
||||
a comfortable position for a dedicated anti-communist like myself.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> What the Soviet propagandists didn't say was that their agents
|
||||
had been working in our top security biological warfare laboratories
|
||||
for over 20 years.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> In a burst of brotherly love they were invited in by President
|
||||
Nixon. The astounded communist scientists from Russia, the Eastern
|
||||
Bloc and Communist china, who had been trying to penetrate this
|
||||
vital security area for 40 years, quickly accepted.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> They have been snickering in their beakers ever since, while
|
||||
they prepare for our demise.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> "It's no secret that they are there," Dr. Carlton Gajdusek,
|
||||
Nobel Prize winner, a top official at the Fort Detrick Army
|
||||
laboratory in Maryland, said in Onmi Magazine (March 1986): "In
|
||||
the facility I have a building where more good and loyal communist
|
||||
scientists from the USSR and mainland China work, with full passkeys
|
||||
to all the laboratories, than there are American. Even the Army's
|
||||
infectious disease unit is loaded with foreign workers who are not
|
||||
always friendly nationals."</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> This answer to an interview question refers to the high number
|
||||
of Soviet bloc scientists in this U.S. facility who act as</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Page 4</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> inspectors to ensure that we are not producing bacteriological
|
||||
weapons in violation of treaties with the Soviets.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> You can't put it more plainly than that. Even the Trojans
|
||||
weren't that stupid: at least they didn't KNOW the Trojan horse
|
||||
was full of soldiers.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> When it became obvious to the Communist press that we were
|
||||
getting the truth out about who was running things at Fort Detrick,
|
||||
they completely reversed themselves and said it was all a mistake.
|
||||
Everything was just fine at Fort Detrick.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> To understand the enormity of our betrayal you must know about
|
||||
the origin of the AIDS virus. The virologists of the world, the
|
||||
sorcerers who brought us this ghastly plague, have a united front in
|
||||
denying that the virus was laboratory-made from known, lethal animal
|
||||
viruses.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> The scientific party line is that a monkey in Africa with AIDS
|
||||
bit a native on the butt. The native then went to town and gave it
|
||||
to a prostitute who gave it to the local banker who gave it to his
|
||||
wife and three girlfriends and what!</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> 50 to 75 million people became infected with AIDS in Africa and
|
||||
throughout the world. This is an entirely preposterous story, and
|
||||
it is preposterous because:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> 1. The green velvet monkey of Africa doesn't get human AIDS. You
|
||||
can't reproduce the disease in monkeys even by injecting AIDS
|
||||
virus directly into them.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> 2. After injecting the virus into monkeys, you can't transmit it
|
||||
to other monkeys, much less to humans.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> 3. Genetically, AIDS (HIV-1) is not even close to the monkey form
|
||||
of immunodeficiency virus.

|
||||
|
||||
<p> 4. AIDS started not in the villages but in the cities of Africa,
|
||||
where there are no wild monkeys.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> 5. The doubling time of AIDS infection being about 12 months, one
|
||||
monkey biting one native and then spreading the disease would
|
||||
have taken 20 years to reach a million cases. Seventy-five
|
||||
million Africans became infected practically simultaneously.
|
||||
At the same time, the disease became rampant in the U.S.,
|
||||
Haiti and Brazil.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> It is obvious that one monkey couldn't have done that (or one
|
||||
homosexual, either). There had to be some sort of simultaneous
|
||||
seeding process.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> The only worldwide simultaneous seeding going on at the same
|
||||
time was the smallpox vaccine program of the World Health
|
||||
Organization (the WHO).
|
||||
Page 5</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> The early epidemiology of the AIDS pandemic fits the smallpox
|
||||
vaccination project of the WHO -- AND NOTHING ELSE -- with the
|
||||
exception of the U.S., which we will examine subsequently.)</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> The AIDS virus was created in a laboratory by combining lethal
|
||||
animal "retroviruses" in human cancer (HeLA) cell cultures. These
|
||||
viruses have never before caused infection in man.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> The "species barrier" has always been nature's way of keeping a
|
||||
deadly virus from wiping out the entire animal kingdom, including
|
||||
man. The myxoma virus of rabbits, for example, wiped out the rabbit
|
||||
population of Europe, but man and other animals were not affected.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> The sheep visna virus completely decimated the flocks of
|
||||
Iceland, but no other animal was affected.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> The virologists deny that the AIDS virus, HIV-1, is of animal
|
||||
origin. I am sure that you see the paradox here. Aren't monkeys
|
||||
animals?</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> They are also united in saying that it's not possible for the
|
||||
virus to have been engineered in a laboratory. If it didn't come
|
||||
from other animals and it didn't come from a laboratory, and they
|
||||
now admit privately that the monkey couldn't have done it, then it
|
||||
must have come out of thin air. That's a theological position and
|
||||
hence beyond argument. It's certainly not scientific.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> These scientists who have created this monstrous problem in
|
||||
their sorcerer's retrovirology laboratories are constantly caught in
|
||||
their own lies.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> The line goes: "The AIDS virus could not have been engineered
|
||||
in a laboratory because the technology wasn't available until
|
||||
recently."</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Icelandic scientists combined the sheep visna virus with human
|
||||
tissue cells over 20 years ago. The technology has been refined in
|
||||
recent years, but the basic process has been actively used in labs
|
||||
all over the world for long before the AIDS virus made its dramatic
|
||||
appearance.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> But the scientists hold fast in their denial of culpability.
|
||||
Professor William Jarrett said, when asked about the possibility of
|
||||
AIDS arising from animal retroviruses, "That is like someone saying
|
||||
babies come out of cabbages."5</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Dr. Robert Gallo said that people who claim AIDS was
|
||||
manufactured artificially are "either insane or communists."6</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Dr. Luis Montagnier, the discoverer of the AIDS virus, said,
|
||||
"In 1970 there was not enough knowledge in genetic engineering to
|
||||
make such a virus starting from already existing viruses."7 (See
|
||||
Icelandic experiments mentioned above.)</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> This tower of lies must eventually fall of its own weight.
|
||||
Then what? Where do we look for a solution? Certainly not from
|
||||
the people who caused the disaster.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> But where? -- the Pentagon? The Pentagon is supporting</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Page 6</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> research on biological warfare in over 100 federal and private
|
||||
laboratories, including those at many prominent universities.8 Yet,
|
||||
Neil Levitt, who worked for 17 years at the Army Infectious Disease
|
||||
Institute, says, "It's a joke...there's no defense against these
|
||||
kinds of organisms. And if you can't defend against something, then
|
||||
why are we pouring more and more money in it? There's something
|
||||
else going on that we don't know about."9</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Some joke.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> A short virology lesson will help you understand that AIDS is
|
||||
indeed an animal virus and that it was laboratory-made as a weapon
|
||||
of biological warfare against the free world.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> A basic rule of virology is that if two viruses have the same
|
||||
shape, design and size, then they are almost certainly the same
|
||||
virus (a very simple and easy to understand rule).10</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> For example, this virus:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> -----------
|
||||
|==| ||| |
|
||||
-----------</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> ... a virus of bacteria (bugs have diseases, too), doesn't look
|
||||
anything like this virus:</p>

|

|
||||
|
||||
<p> ... which is found in horses.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> The AIDS virus, which "couldn't have come from animal
|
||||
viruses" is almost certainly a recombinant virus from fusing a
|
||||
cattle virus, bovine leukemia virus:</p>

<p> ... the recombinant virus from cattle and sheep AND ITS CALLED
|

AIDS. You don't have to be a genius to understand this. Any
|
||||
properly instructed 10-year-old can understand it ....</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> But, some alert reader will say, we don't give smallpox
|
||||
vaccinations in the U.S., so how do you explain the simultaneous
|
||||
outbreak of AIDS in Africa, Brazil and Haiti, where they did indeed
|
||||
give the vaccine, and in the U.S., where they didn't give the
|
||||
vaccine?</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Simple. The homosexual community was used as a large group of
|
||||
experimental animals through the hepatitis-B program. It didn't
|
||||
take many infected homosexuals among the I.V. drug users to quickly
|
||||
spread the disease among a large percentage of the addicts due to
|
||||
the near certainly of infection through direct intravenous insertion
|
||||
of the virus.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> To understand the seeding of AIDS among homosexuals (and
|
||||
eventually to the rest of us through bisexuals unless drastic action
|
||||
is taken), you must know about a character with the strange name of
|
||||
Wolf Szmuness. His life story will seem bizarre to you unless, like
|
||||
me, you have a conspiratorial turn of mind.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Dr. Szmuness was a Polish Jew who supposedly ended up in a
|
||||
Siberian labor camp during World War II. But after the war he
|
||||
somehow became a privileged person, was sent to medical school in
|
||||
Tomsk, Russia, and married a Russian woman. Hardly typical
|
||||
treatment of an enemy of the Soviet state [under Stalin.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Szmuness' biographer said that Wolf was always reluctant to
|
||||
discuss "those dark years in Siberia." Maybe he wasn't in Siberia.
|
||||
If he [actually] was, he certainly wasn't shoveling salt.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> In 1959 the Soviet government "allowed" him to practice in
|
||||
Poland in a public health capacity. Standard policy in all
|
||||
Communist countries is never to allow all members of a family to
|
||||
travel out of the country to the West at the same time.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> This eliminates 98 percent of all defection attempts. I have
|
||||
physician friends in Hungary, for example. He can go to a meeting
|
||||
anywhere in the world if she stays home. She can go if he stays
|
||||
home. They can both go if the children are left at home. But in
|
||||
1969, the entire Szmuness family was allowed by communist Poland to
|
||||
go to a medical meeting in Italy. At that time they "defected" and
|
||||
moved to New York City.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> WITH NO AMERICAN CREDENTIALS WHATSOEVER, he immediately got a</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Page 9</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> job as a "lab technician" at the New York City Blood Center. Within
|
||||
a very few years this Polish immigrant was GIVEN HIS OWN LAB, a
|
||||
separate department of epidemiology was created for him at the blood
|
||||
bank and he, like the chrysalis turning into a butterfly, changed
|
||||
into a FULL PROFESSOR OF EPIDEMIOLOGY AT THE COLUMBIA MEDICAL
|
||||
SCHOOL!</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> In six years this "lab tech" became a full professor AND THEN
|
||||
WENT BACK TO MOSCOW for a scientific presentation and was received
|
||||
as a dignitary, not a defector.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> We tell you this amazing story because in retrospect it is
|
||||
obvious that Wolf Szmuness was a carefully groomed ... agent,
|
||||
planted here after years of preparation, to instigate biological
|
||||
warfare against the American people.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Szmuness, with the full cooperation and financial support of
|
||||
the U.S. Center for Disease Control and the National Institutes of
|
||||
Health,11 masterminded the hepatitis-B vaccine experimental program
|
||||
used on homosexual men.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> He insisted that only young, promiscuous homosexuals be allowed
|
||||
to participate in the experiment. The experiment started in New
|
||||
York at the blood bank in November 1978.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> THE EXPERIMENTAL VACCINE WAS PRODUCED in a government

||||
supervised laboratory.12 The study was completed in October 1979.
|
||||
Within 10 years, most of these young men would be dead or dying from
|
||||
AIDS.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> In 1980 the program was expanded to major cities all across the
|
||||
U.S. In the fall of 1980 the first AIDS case was reported in San
|
||||
Francisco. Eight years later most of the homosexuals in San
|
||||
Francisco are infected, dead or dying.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Szmuness did not live to see the fruition of this larger
|
||||
experiment. He died of cancer in 1982.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> In 1986 Dr. Cladd Stevens, one of Szmuness's collaborators,
|
||||
penned an astonishing report that did not make your local newspaper.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> She reported that the majority of the homosexuals in the
|
||||
experimental program were infected with the AIDS virus.13 The AIDS-
|
||||
laced vaccine, through the bridge of bisexual men, now infects as
|
||||
many as three million Americans. Mission accomplished.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> AIDS was not the first germ warfare attack against Americans.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> In the early '60s, millions of unsuspecting Americans took
|
||||
either Salk injected polio vaccine or the live Sabin polio vaccine,
|
||||
which was taken by mouth.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> BOTH WERE LACED WITH S.V.-40, A CANCER-CAUSING MONKEY VIRUS.14</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> With an incubation period of 20 years, we are only now seeing
|
||||
the grim results of this bio-attack against Americans, largely in
|
||||
the form of brain tumors and leukemia.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Page 10</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Salk didn't like the Sabin vaccine and Sabin didn't like the
|
||||
Salk vaccine. I think they are both right. It is interesting to
|
||||
note that polio was rapidly disappearing WITHOUT a vaccine (J. Trop.
|
||||
Pediat, env. Child. Health 21, 11) ....</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Our Soviet enemies not only instigated the AIDS epidemic
|
||||
through clandestine agents within our government, but they now
|
||||
control, through the World Health Organization, the AIDS policies of
|
||||
the free world.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> You are probably not aware that the international AIDS
|
||||
prevention program of the World Health Organization (WHO) is run by
|
||||
the Soviets.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> You don't believe it? Call WHO and ask them who is in charge
|
||||
in Europe. If you want to save your nickel I'll tell you. He's a
|
||||
Russian named Bysencho and he operates out of Copenhagen....</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> The Soviets control the response to AIDS of the entire free
|
||||
world at many levels, including the top. Dr. Sergei Litvinov,
|
||||
the coordinator of all task forces on AIDS at the WHO, is a high
|
||||
official in the Soviet Ministry of Health. Allegedly Litvinov
|
||||
gave out the order to our scientists and medical organizations in
|
||||
the western world not to discuss the real cause of the epidemic.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> At a secret meeting (information supplied the author from a
|
||||
confidential source) between the editors of Lancet, the highly
|
||||
respected British medical publication, and a group of the leading
|
||||
retrovirologists of the world, it was decided not to publish any
|
||||
academic discussion about the possible artificial creation of the
|
||||
AIDS virus in a laboratory.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> They particularly agreed not to make any mention of world-
|
||||
renowned biologist Isaac Farlane Bernet's published remarks that
|
||||
molecular biology may get out of hand like atomic physics and be
|
||||
used for evil purposes and "practical applications of molecular
|
||||
biology to cancer research might be sinister."</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Other medical journals such as Science and JAMA have
|
||||
lockstepped with Lancet and put all references to the man-made
|
||||
origins of AIDS down the memory hole.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Did Comrade Litvinov have a little talk with the
|
||||
retrovirologists? They, of course, wouldn't need any encouragement
|
||||
from the Soviet [WHO] bosses to attempt a little coverup of their
|
||||
own heinous crime, but Lancet, the British Medical Journal, and the
|
||||
New England Journal of Medicine are another matter.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> It took some powerful and sinister forces indeed to get these
|
||||
respected publications to cover up the crime of the millennium.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> The notable exception to this appalling censorship of mass
|
||||
murder is Professor Harding Rains, Editor of the Journal of the
|
||||
Royal Society of Medicine. Rains refers to "a conspiracy of
|
||||
silence" covering the allegation that AIDS was man-made. I hope
|
||||
Dr. Rains is watching his backside.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Dr. Zhores Medvedev, unlike Bysencho and Litvinov, supposedly
|
||||
is a Russian exile. Medvedev operates out of London at the National</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Page 11</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Institute for Medical Research. He's a senior research scientist
|
||||
who continues to communicate freely with his supposed enemies in the
|
||||
Soviet biowarfare laboratories, but we lack the space to catalog all
|
||||
the details [here].</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Medvedev is spreading the disinformation that AIDS is rampant
|
||||
in Russia due to the escape of the virus from a laboratory, a sort
|
||||
of biological Chernobyl.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> This tends to divert suspicion away from Litvinov, Szmuness and
|
||||
the other reds that President Nixon allowed to penetrate our
|
||||
biological warfare laboratories at Fort Detrick, Maryland.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Having the Soviets "control" the spread of AIDS in the West has
|
||||
let to some interesting paradoxes. Our masters in the U.S. tell us
|
||||
that there shall be absolutely no restrictions on travel between
|
||||
various parts of the non-Communist world by persons who test
|
||||
positive for AIDS.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Surgeon General C.E. Koop supports this Soviet policy of
|
||||
biological suicide. (Are those the instructions he received when he
|
||||
made his trip to Moscow, where the WHO has set up its main AIDS
|
||||
research center?)</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> But, our Soviet masters in the WHO tell us, this open policy of
|
||||
international travel does not apply to the communist bloc of
|
||||
nations. If you or I were to visit Moscow and tested positive for
|
||||
the AIDS virus, POW! -- out on the next plane!</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> If they stay clean through their immigration policies and we
|
||||
die because of the immigration policies imposed on us through the
|
||||
U.N.-controlled World "Health" Organization, who needs atomic bombs
|
||||
for world conquest?</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Cuba, Dr. John Seale informs me, has a strict asylum system for
|
||||
the AIDS-infected. When their troops come back from "liberating"
|
||||
Africans, they are tested as they get off the boat.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> If tested positive the soldier goes directly to hell --
|
||||
euphemistically called a sanitarium. He can visit his family
|
||||
occasionally, but only in the presence of a commissar called a
|
||||
"health official (no hanky-panky).</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Unless the West gets its act together and closes down the U.N.
|
||||
genocide division called the WHO, freedom and decency will disappear
|
||||
from planet Earth for a thousand years. But the problem goes much
|
||||
deeper.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> How do you close down the U.S. government laboratories such as
|
||||
the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the National Institute of
|
||||
Health (NIH) and the Fort Detrick bio-warfare lab when the
|
||||
perpetrators of the crime are in control at all levels?</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> I don't know the answer. *****</p>

<p> AIDS:
|

Spread Facts

Not Fear</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>What Is AIDS?</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) is a serious condition that affects
|
||||
the body's ability to fight infection. A disgnosis of AIDS is made when a
|
||||
person develops a life-threatening illness not usually found in a person with a
|
||||
normal ability to fight infection. The two diseases most often found in AIDS
|
||||
patients are a lung infection called Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia and a rare
|
||||
form of cancer called Kaposi's sarcoma. It is these diseases, not the AIDS
|
||||
virus itself, that can lead to death. To date, more than 50 percent of the
|
||||
persons with AIDS have died.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>What Causes AIDS?</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Researchers have discovered the cause of AIDS - a virus that is called either
|
||||
HTLV-III or LAV. This virus changes the structure of the cell it attacks.
|
||||
Infection with the virus can lead to AIDS or to a less severe condition known
|
||||
as AIDS-related complex (ARC). Some of those persons infected with the virus
|
||||
will develop symptoms of AIDS or ARC. Other people who carry the virus may
|
||||
remain in apparent good health. These carriers can transmit the virus during
|
||||
sexual contact, or an infected mother can transmit the virus to her infant
|
||||
before, during, or after birth (probably through breast milk).</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Who Gets AIDS?</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Since 1981, the Centers for Disease Control has been collecting information
|
||||
on AIDS. Approximately 95 percent of the persons with AIDS belong to one of the
|
||||
following groups:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>* Sexually active homosexual or bisexual men (73 percent)</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>* Present or past abusers of intravenous drugs (17 percent)</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>* Patients who have had transfusions with blood or blood products (2 percent)</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>* Persons with hemophilia or other coagulation disorders (1 percent)</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>* Heterosexuals who have had sexual contact with someone with AIDS, or at risk
|
||||
for AIDS (1 percent)</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>* Infants born to infected mothers (1 percent)</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Approximately 5 percent of persons with AIDS do not fall into any of these
|
||||
groups, but researchers believe that they came in contact with the virus in
|
||||
similar ways. Some died before complete histories could be taken, while others
|
||||
refused to provide any personal information.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>What Are the Symptoms?</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Most individuals infected with the AIDS virus have no symptoms and feel well.
|
||||
Some develop symptoms that may include -</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>* Fever, including "night sweats."</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>* Weight loss for no apparent reason.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>* Swollen lymph glands in the neck, underarm, or groin area.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>* Fatigue or tiredness.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>* Diarrhea.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>* White spots or unusual blemishes in the mouth.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>These symptoms are also symptoms of many other illnesses. They may be symptoms
|
||||
of AIDS if they are unexplained by other illness. Anyone with these symptoms
|
||||
for more than two weeks should see a doctor.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>How is the AIDS Virus Spread?</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The AIDS virus is spread by sexual contact, needle sharing, or rarely through
|
||||
transfused blood or its components. Multiple sexual partners, either homosexual
|
||||
or heterosexual, and sharing needles by drug users increase the risk of
|
||||
infection with the virus.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Is the AIDS Virus Spread Through Casual Contact?</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>No. Casual contact with AIDS patients or people who carry the virus does NOT
|
||||
place others at risk for getting AIDS. The AIDS virus is NOT spread by-</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>* Casual contact, such as hugging or hand shaking with an AIDS patient or a
|
||||
person carrying the virus.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>* Use of bathroom facilities, such as toilets, sinks, or bathtubs. Use of
|
||||
swimming pools.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>* Sneezing, coughing, or spitting.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>* Dishes, utensils, or food handled by a person with AIDS.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The AIDS virus is not spread through normal daily contact at work, in school,
|
||||
or at home. No cases have been found where the virus has been transmitted by
|
||||
casual contact with AIDS patients in the home, workplace, or health care
|
||||
setting. This statement is based in part, on studies of more than 300
|
||||
households where people with AIDS were present. Not a single case of AIDS or
|
||||
transmission of the virus was found except from sexual contacts or from
|
||||
infected mothers to their infants. Many of those tested were children who had
|
||||
shared bottles, beds, toothbrushes, and eating utensils with infected brothers
|
||||
and sisters.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Is There a Test for AIDS?</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>There is an AIDS virus antibody test that detects antibodies to the AIDS virus
|
||||
that causes the disease. The body produces antibodies that try to get rid of
|
||||
bacteria, viruses, or anything else that is not supposed to be in the blood
|
||||
stream. The test tells if someone has been infected with the AIDS virus. Most
|
||||
people with AIDS have a positive test and some people with a positive test
|
||||
will develop AIDS. The test does not tell who will develop AIDS.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>What Does a Positive Test Mean?</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>It means that a person has been infected with the AIDS virus. It is estimated
|
||||
that more than one million Americans have been infected by the AIDS virus. Some
|
||||
of these people will develop AIDS. Others who have the virus may stay well,
|
||||
without any symptoms, but can transmit the virus to others.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Why Do We Have a Test?</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The test was first used in blood donation centers to prevent the AIDS virus
|
||||
from getting into the blood supply. We have always used tests to make the
|
||||
blood supply as safe as possible. For example, all blood is tested for the
|
||||
hepatitis B virus. This is to make sure that the person does not get hepatitis
|
||||
B.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Is the Blood Supply Safe?</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>YES. The blood supply is well protected from the AIDS virus. People who may be
|
||||
at risk of having AIDS are told that they should not donate blood. For example,
|
||||
men who have had sex with another male since 1977 are told not to donate blood.
|
||||
Also, the test is used to screen all donated blood and plasma for signs of the
|
||||
virus that causes AIDS.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Can I Get AIDS by Donating Blood?</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>NO. All of the needles, syringes, tubing, and containers used by blood donation
|
||||
centers are sterile and are used only once and thrown away, so there is no
|
||||
chance of infection.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Is the Test Available to the Public?</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>YES. The test is available at a variety of test sites in most states. It is
|
||||
also available through private doctors and clinics. Information about where to
|
||||
get the test is available from state or local health departments, sexually
|
||||
transmitted disease clinics, doctor's offices, and community blood services.
|
||||
Anyone planning to take the test should get advice before the test and
|
||||
understand what the results may indicate. It is important to have counseling
|
||||
after the test.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>How Can I Protect Myself From AIDS?</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>* Do not have sexual contact with AIDS patients, with members of the risk
|
||||
groups, or with people who test positive for the AIDS virus. If you do, use
|
||||
a condom and avoid sexual practices such as anal intercourse that may injure
|
||||
tissue.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>* Do not use IV drugs. If you do, do not share needles. Do not have sex with
|
||||
people who use IV drugs.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>* Women who are sex partners of risk group members or who use IV drugs should
|
||||
consider the risk to their babies before pregnancy. These women should have
|
||||
an HTLV-III antibody test before they become pregnant. If the become pregnant
|
||||
they should have a test during pregnancy.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>* Do not have sex with multiple partners, including prostitutes (who may also
|
||||
be IV drug abusers). The more partners you have, the greater your chances of
|
||||
contracting AIDS.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>What Should I Do if I Have a Positive Test?</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>* Have a regular medical checkup and get counseling.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>* Do not donate blood, sperm, or organs.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>* Do not share drugs with others, and avoid exchanging bodily fluids during
|
||||
sexual activity (a condom should be used). Avoid oral-genital contact and
|
||||
intimate kissing.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>* Do not share toothbrushes. razors, or anything that could be contaminated
|
||||
with blood.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>* Consider postponing pregnancy.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Further information about AIDS can be obtained from your Red Cross chapter,
|
||||

|
||||

:: PREFACE ::
|
||||
|
||||
In an extensive article in the Summer-Autumn 1990 issue of "Top Secret", Prof
|
||||
J. Segal and Dr. L. Segal outline their theory that AIDS is a man-made disease,
|
||||
originating at Pentagon bacteriological warfare labs at Fort Detrick, Maryland.
|
||||
Top Secret is the international edition of the German magazine Geheim and is
|
||||
considered by many to be a sister publication to the American Covert Action
|
||||
Information Bulletin (CAIB). In fact, Top Secret carries the Naming Names
|
||||
column, which CAIB is prevented from doing by the American government, and
|
||||
which names CIA agents in different locations in the world. The article, named
|
||||
"AIDS: US-Made Monster" and subtitled "AIDS - its Nature and its Origins," is
|
||||
lengthy, has a lot of professional terminology and is dotted with footnotes.
|
||||
The following is my humble attempt to encapsulate its highlights. It is
|
||||
recommended that all interested read the original, which is available at some
|
||||
bookstores, or can be ordered for $3.50 from:

:: AIDS FACTS ::
|
||||
|
||||
"The fatal weakening of the immune system which has given AIDS its name
|
||||
(Acquired Immuno-Deficiency Syndrome)," write the Segals, "has been traced back
|
||||
to a destruction or a functional failure of the T4-lymphocytes, also called
|
||||
'helper cells`, which play a regulatory role in the production of antibodies in
|
||||
the immune system." In the course of the illness, the number of functional T4-
|
||||
cells is reduced greatly so that new anti-bodies cannot be produced and the
|
||||
defenseless patient remains exposed to a range of infections that under other
|
||||
circumstances would have been harmless. Most AIDS patients die from
|
||||
opportunistic infections rather than from the AIDS virus itself.
|
||||
|
||||
The initial infection is characterized by diarrhea, erysipelas and intermittent
|
||||
fever. An apparent recovery follows after 2-3 weeks, and in many cases the
|
||||
patient remains without symptoms and functions normally for years. Occasionally
|
||||
a swelling of the lymph glands, which does not affect the patient's well-being,
|
||||
can be observed.
|
||||
|
||||
After several years, the pre-AIDS stage, known as ARC (Aids- Related Complex)
|
||||
sets in. This stage includes disorders in the digestive tract, kidneys and
|
||||
lungs. In most cases it develops into full-blown AIDS in about a year, at which
|
||||
point opportunistic illnesses occur. Parallel to this syndrome, disorders in
|
||||
various organ systems occur, the most severe in the brain, the symptoms of
|
||||
which range from motoric disorders to severe dementia and death.
|
||||
|
||||
This set of symptoms, say the Segals, is identical in every detail with the
|
||||
Visna sickness which occurs in sheep, mainly in Iceland. (Visna means tiredness
|
||||
in Icelandic). However, the visna virus is not pathogenic for human beings.
|
||||
|
||||
The Segals note that despite the fact that AIDS is transmitted only through
|
||||
sexual intercourse, blood transfusions and non- sterile hypodermic needles, the
|
||||
infection has spread dramatically. During the first few years after its
|
||||
discovery, the number of AIDS patients doubled every six months, and is still
|
||||
doubling every 12 months now though numerous measures have been taken against
|
||||
it. Based on these figures, it is estimated that in the US, which had 120,000
|
||||
cases of AIDS at the end of 1988, 900,000 people will have AIDS or will have
|
||||
died of it by the end of 1991. It is also estimated that the number of people
|
||||
infected is at least ten times the number of those suffering from an acute case
|
||||
of AIDS. That in the year 1995 there will be between 10-14 million cases of
|
||||
AIDS and an additional 100 million people infected, 80 percent of them in the
|
||||
US, while a possible vaccination will not be available before 1995 by the most
|
||||
optimistic estimates. Even when such vaccination becomes available, it will not
|
||||
help those already infected. These and following figures have been reached at
|
||||
by several different mainstream sources, such as the US Surgeon General and the
|
||||
Chief of the medical services of the US Army.
|
||||
|
||||
Say the Segals: "AIDS does not merely bring certain dangers with it; it is
|
||||
clearly a programmed catastrophe for the human race, whose magnitude is
|
||||
comparable only with that of a nuclear war." They later explain what they mean
|
||||
by "programmed," showing that the virus was produced by humans, namely Dr.
|
||||
Robert Gallo of the Bethesda Cancer Research Center in Maryland. When
|
||||
proceeding to prove their claims, the Segals are careful to note that: "We have
|
||||
given preference to the investigative results of highly renowned laboratories,
|
||||
whose objective contents cannot be doubted. We must emphasize, in this
|
||||
connection, that we do not know of any findings that have been published in
|
||||
professional journals that contradict our hypotheses."
|
||||
|
||||
:: DISCOVERING AIDS ::
|
||||
|
||||
The first KNOWN cases of AIDS occurred in New York in 1979. The first
|
||||
DESCRIBED cases were in California in 1979. The virus was isolated in Paris in
|
||||
May 1983, taken from a French homosexual who had returned home ill from a trip
|
||||
to the East Coast of the US. One year later, Robert Gallo and his co-workers at
|
||||
the Bethesda Cancer Research Center published their discovery of the same
|
||||
virus, which is cytotoxic, i.e poisonous to cells.
|
||||
|
||||
Shortly after publishing his discovery, Gallo stated to newspapers that the
|
||||
virus had developed by a natural process from the Human Adult Leukemia virus,
|
||||
HTLV-1, which he had previously discovered. However, this claim was not
|
||||
published in professional publications, and soon after, Alizon and Montagnier,
|
||||
two researchers of the Pasteur Institute in Paris published charts of HTLV-1
|
||||
and HIV, showing that the viruses had basically different structures. They also
|
||||
declared categorically that they knew of no natural process by which one of
|
||||
these two forms could have evolved into the other.
|
||||
|
||||
According to the professional "science" magazine, the fall 1984 annual meeting
|
||||
of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), was almost
|
||||
entirely devoted to the question of: to what extent new pathogenic agents could
|
||||
be produced via human manipulation of genes. According to the Segals, AIDS was
|
||||
practically the sole topic of discussion.
|
||||
|
||||
:: THE AIDS VIRUS ::
|
||||
|
||||
The Segals discuss the findings of Gonda et al, who compared the HIV, visna
|
||||
and other closely-related viruses and found that the visna virus is the most
|
||||
similar to HIV. The two were, in fact, 60% identical in 1986. According to
|
||||
findings of the Hahn group, the mutation rate of the HIV virus was about a
|
||||
million times higher than that of similar viruses, and that on the average a
|
||||
10% alteration took place every two years. That would mean that in 1984, the
|
||||
difference between HIV and visna would have been only 30%, in 1982- 20%, 10% in
|
||||
1980 and zero in 1978. "This means," say the Segals, "that at this time visna
|
||||
viruses changed into HIV, receiving at the same time the ability to become
|
||||
parasites in human T4-cells and the high genetic instability that is not known
|
||||
in other retroviruses. This is also consistent with the fact that the first
|
||||
cases of AIDS appeared about one year later, in the spring of 1979."
|
||||
|
||||
"In his comparison of the genomes of visna and HIV," add the Segals, "Coffin
|
||||
hit upon a remarkable feature. The env (envelope) area of the HIV genome, which
|
||||
encodes the envelope proteins which help the virus to attach itself to the host
|
||||
cell, is about 300 nucleotides longer than the same area in visna. This
|
||||
behavior suggests that an additional piece has been inserted into the genomes
|
||||
of the visna virus, a piece that alters the envelope proteins and enables them
|
||||
to bind themselves to the T4-receptors. BUT THIS SECTION BEHAVES LIKE A
|
||||
BIOLOGICALLY ALIEN BODY, which does not match the rest of the system
|
||||
biochemically. (emphasis mine)
|
||||
|
||||
The above mentioned work by Gonda et al shows that the HIV virus has a section
|
||||
of about 300 nucleotides, which does not exist in the visna virus. That length
|
||||
corresponds with what Coffin described. That section is particularly unstable,
|
||||
which indicates that it is an alien object. According to the Segals, it
|
||||
"originates in an HTLV-1 genome, (discovered by Gallo-ED) for the likelihood of
|
||||
an accidental occurrence in HIV of a genome sequence 60% identical with a
|
||||
section of the HTLV-1 that is 300 nucleotides in length is zero." Since the
|
||||
visna virus is incapable of attaching itself to human T4 receptors, it must
|
||||
have been the transfer of the HTLV-1 genome section which gave visna the
|
||||
capability to do so. In other words, the addition of HTLV-1 to visna made the
|
||||
HIV virus. In addition, the high mutation rate of the HIV genome has been
|
||||
explained by another scientific team, Chandra et al, by the fact that it is "a
|
||||
combination of two genome parts which are alien to each other BY ARTIFICIAL
|
||||
MEANS rather than by a natural process of evolution, because this process would
|
||||
have immediately eliminated, through natural selection, systems that are so
|
||||
replete with disorders."
|
||||
|
||||
"These are the facts of the case," say the Segals. "HIV is essentially a visna
|
||||
virus which carries an additional protein monomer of HTLV-1 that has an epitope
|
||||
capable of bonding with T4 receptors. Neither Alizon and Montagnier nor any
|
||||
other biologist know of any natural mechanism that would make it possible for
|
||||
the epitope to be transferred from HTLV-1 to the visna virus. For this reason
|
||||
we can come to only one conclusion: that this gene combination arose by
|
||||
artificial means, through gene manipulation."
|
||||
|
||||
:: THE CONSTRUCTION OF HIV ::
|
||||
|
||||
"The construction of a recombinant virus by means of gene manipulation is
|
||||
extraordinarily expensive, and it requires a large number of highly qualified
|
||||
personnel, complicated equipment and expensive high security laboratories.
|
||||
Moreover, the product would have no commercial value. Who, then," ask the
|
||||
Segals, "would have provided the resources for a type of research that was
|
||||
aimed solely at the production of a new disease that would be deadly to human
|
||||
beings?"
|
||||
|
||||
The English sociologist Allistair Hay (as well as Paxman et al in "A Higher
|
||||
Form of Killing"-ED), published a document whose authenticity has been
|
||||
confirmed by the US Congress, showing that a representative of the Pentagon
|
||||
requested in 1969 additional funding for biological warfare research. The
|
||||
intention was to create, within the next ten years, a new virus that would
|
||||
not be susceptible to the immune system, so that the afflicted patient would
|
||||
not be able to develop any defense against it. Ten years later, in the spring
|
||||
of 1979, the first cases of AIDS appeared in New York.
|
||||
|
||||
"Thus began a phase of frantic experimentation," say the Segals.
|
||||
|
||||
One group was working on trying to cause animal pathogens to adapt themselves
|
||||
to life in human beings. This was done under the cover of searching for a cure
|
||||
for cancer. The race was won by Gallo, who described his findings in 1975. A
|
||||
year later, Gallo described gene manipulations he was conducting. In 1980 he
|
||||
published his discovery of HTLV.
|
||||
|
||||
In the fall of 1977, a P4 (highest security category of laboratory, in which
|
||||
human pathogens are subjected to genetic manipulations) laboratory was
|
||||
officially opened in building 550 of Fort Detrick, MD, the Pentagon's main
|
||||
biological warfare research center. "In an article in 'Der Spiegel`, Prof.
|
||||
Mollings point out that this type of gene manipulation was still extremely
|
||||
difficult in 1977. One would have had to have a genius as great as Robert Gallo
|
||||
for this purpose, note the Segals."
|
||||
|
||||
Lo and behold. In a supposed compliance with the international accord banning
|
||||
the research, production and storage of biological weapons, part of Fort
|
||||
Detrick was "demilitarized" and the virus section renamed the "Frederick
|
||||
Cancer Research Facility". It was put under the direction of the Cancer
|
||||
Research Institute in neighboring Bethesda, whose director was no other than
|
||||
Robert Gallo. This happened in 1975, the year Gallo discovered HTLV.
|
||||
Explaining how the virus escaped, the Segals note that in the US, biological
|
||||
agents are traditionally tested on prisoners who are incarcerated for long
|
||||
periods, and who are promised freedom if they survive the test. However, the
|
||||
initial HIV infection symptoms are mild and followed by a seemingly healthy
|
||||
patient.
|
||||
|
||||
"Those who conducted the research must have concluded that the new virus
|
||||
was...not so virulent that it could be considered for military use, and the
|
||||
test patients, who had seemingly recovered, were given their freedom. Most of
|
||||
the patients were professional criminals and New York City, which is
|
||||
relatively close, offered them a suitable milieu. Moreover, the patients were
|
||||
exclusively men, many of them having a history of homosexuality and drug abuse,
|
||||
as is often the case in American prisons. 1111
|
||||
|
||||
It is understandable why AIDS broke out precisely in 1979, precisely among men
|
||||
and among drug users, and precisely in New York City," assert the Segals. They
|
||||
go on to explain that whereas in cases of infection by means of sexual contact,
|
||||
incubation periods are two years and more, while in cases of massive infection
|
||||
via blood transfusions, as must have been the case with prisoners, incubation
|
||||
periods are shorter than a year. "Thus, if the new virus was ready at the
|
||||
beginning of 1978 and if the experiments began without too much delay, then
|
||||
the first cases of full- blown AIDS in 1979 were exactly the result that
|
||||
could have been expected."
|
||||
|
||||
In the next three lengthy chapters, the Segals examine other theories,
|
||||
"legends" as they call them, of the origins of AIDS. Dissecting each claim,
|
||||
they show that they have no scientific standing, providing also the findings
|
||||
of other scientists. They also bring up the arguments of scientists and
|
||||
popular writers who have been at the task of discounting them as "conspiracy
|
||||
theorists" and show these writers' shortcomings. Interested readers will have
|
||||
to read the original article to follow those debates. I will only quote two
|
||||
more paragraphs:
|
||||
|
||||
"We often heard the argument that experiments with human volunteers are part of
|
||||
a barbaric past, and that they would be impossible in the US today... We wish
|
||||
to present one single document whose authenticity is beyond doubt. An
|
||||
investigative commission of the US House of Representatives presented in
|
||||
October 1986 a final report concerning the Manhattan Project. According to this
|
||||
document, between 1945 and 1975 at least 695 American citizens were exposed
|
||||
to dangerous doses of radioactivity. Some of them were prisoners who had
|
||||
volunteered, but they also included residents of old-age homes, inmates of
|
||||
insane asylums, handicapped people in nursing homes, and even normal patients
|
||||
in public hospitals; most of them were subjected to these experiments without
|
||||
their permission. Thus the 'barbaric past` is not really a thing of the past."
|
||||
|
||||
"It is remarkable that most of these experiments were carried out in university
|
||||
institutes and federal hospitals, all of which are named in the report.
|
||||
Nonetheless, these facts remained secret until 1984, and even then a
|
||||
Congressional committee that was equipped with all the necessary
|
||||
authorization needed two years in order to bring these facts to life. We are
|
||||
often asked how the work on the AIDS virus could have been kept secret. Now,
|
||||
experiments performed on a few dozen prisoners in a laboratory that is
|
||||
subject to military security can be far more easily kept secret than could
|
||||
be the Manhattan Project."

<p> Today and Yesterday
|
||||
-------------------------</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The ultimate responsibility for this thread :-) belongs to George
|
||||
Medhurst (1759-1827), of England. During a period of a few years
|
||||
about 1810, he invented three distinct forms of air-propelled
|
||||
transport. None of them was implemented during his lifetime;
|
||||
but all of them saw use eventually, reaching their greatest extent
|
||||
in the reverse order of their original invention.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Medhurst's first method involved moving air through a tube a few
|
||||
inches in diameter, pushing a capsule along it; this simple idea
|
||||
was the pneumatic dispatch tube. Next he realized that if the same
|
||||
system was built much larger, it could carry passengers (or freight
|
||||
items larger than letters); it was natural to run the vehicle on
|
||||
tracks, and so this became known since the vehicle would be large
|
||||
enough to require tracks, this became known as a pneumatic railway.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>But would anyone actually want to ride along mile after mile inside
|
||||
an opaque pipe? Not likely. So he then thought of having only a
|
||||
piston moving within the pipe, somehow dragging along a vehicle
|
||||
outside it. He proposed several versions of this idea; in most of
|
||||
them the vehicle ran on rails, so this became known as an atmospheric
|
||||
railway (though a distinction between that term and the pneumatic
|
||||
railway was not always observed). The key feature of all versions
|
||||
of the system was a longitudinal valve: some sort of flexible flap
|
||||
running the length of the pipe, which would be held closed by air
|
||||
pressure except when the piston was actually passing. Medhurst
|
||||
did try to raise capital to implement this system, but failed.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Now, while the first operable steam locomotive was built about 1804,
|
||||
steam-powered trains did not see regular use for passengers for some
|
||||
25 years after that. It was in the 1830's and 1840's that the steam
|
||||
railway was shown to be practical in both engineering and financial
|
||||
senses.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>But the same technical developments that made possible the practical
|
||||
steam railway also made the atmospheric railway, if not certainly
|
||||
practical, at least worth a try. And it offered the prospect of
|
||||
considerable advantages. Since the trains wouldn't have to carry
|
||||
their prime mover, they would be lighter; therefore the track could
|
||||
be built cheaper, and the trains' performance would be better.
|
||||
The trains wouldn't trail smoke wherever they went (and into the
|
||||
passenger cars in particular), and they would also be quiet.
|
||||
And if one section of the route was hilly and required more motive
|
||||
power, all that were needed would be more or larger pumping stations
|
||||
along that section; no need to add extra locomotives. In short,
|
||||
very much the same advantages that electricity gave a few decades
|
||||
later. (Plus one more: a derailed train would tend to be kept near
|
||||
the track by the pipe and piston.)</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The success of the 1830's railways gave rise to the Railway Mania
|
||||
of the 1840's, when interest in railway shares reached absurd levels.
|
||||
In that climate the proposers of atmospheric lines could find the
|
||||
backing they needed, and four atmospheric lines opened in a period
|
||||
of about 3 years. In order of opening, these were:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> * The Dublin & Kingstown, from Kingstown to Dalkey in Ireland,
|
||||
1.5 miles long; operated 1844-54.
|
||||
* The London & Croydon, from Croydon to Forest Hill in London,
|
||||
England, 5 miles, then extended to New Cross for a total
|
||||
of 7.5 miles; operated 1846-47.
|
||||
* The Paris a St-Germain, from Bois de Vezinet to St-Germain
|
||||
in Paris, France, 1.4 miles long; operated 1847-60.
|
||||
* The South Devon, from Exeter to Teignmouth in Devonshire,
|
||||
England, 15 miles, then extended to Newton (now Newton Abbot),
|
||||
20 miles altogether; operated 1847-48.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>I note in passing that while I (as a fan of his) might like Isambard
|
||||
Kingdom Brunel to have invented the atmospheric system used on the
|
||||
South Devon, it is wrong to say that he did so. He did choose it
|
||||
and actively promoted it (well, "actively" is redundant with Brunel).
|
||||
It was actually developed by Samuel Clegg and Joseph and Jacob Samuda.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Both of the longer, if shorter-lived, English lines used atmospheric
|
||||
propulsion in both directions of travel, whereas the French and Irish
|
||||
lines were built on hills and their trains simply returned downhill
|
||||
by gravity. Since all were single-track lines, the one-way system
|
||||
simplified the valves needed to let the pistons in and out of the
|
||||
pipes at their ends (possibly while traveling at speed).</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>All four lines were converted to ordinary steam railways in the end,
|
||||
and for the next 130 years the atmospheric system appeared dead.
|
||||
For one thing, steam locomotive technology had too much of a head
|
||||
start in development over the atmospheric system; steam railways
|
||||
might have delays due to engine failure but they never had to shut
|
||||
down for 6 weeks while a new design of longitudinal valve was
|
||||
installed along the entire length of the route!</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>(The valve involved metal and leather parts and a greasy or waxy
|
||||
sealant "composition". Although stories were told about rats
|
||||
eating the composition, and this probably did happen sometimes,
|
||||
it wasn't really a serious thing; the biggest problems in fact
|
||||
were freezing and deterioration of the leather, and corrosion
|
||||
of the metal parts.)</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Also, the atmospheric system was inflexible, in that if the power
|
||||
requirements for a section of route were greater than estimated,
|
||||
very little could be done short of splitting the section and adding
|
||||
a whole new pumping station. (All the lines used vacuum rather
|
||||
than positive pressure in the pipes, which limited the pressure
|
||||
differential to about 0.9 atmosphere in practice; but the valve
|
||||
designs were marginal anyway and likely wouldn't have stood up
|
||||
to greater pressures if they could have been used.)</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>What today might be seen as the most serious disadvantage of all,
|
||||
the requirement for long interruptions of the motive power at
|
||||
junctions, was not so noticeable in those days. If the train
|
||||
didn't have enough speed to coast across the gap, well, the
|
||||
third-class passengers could always get out and push, or maybe
|
||||
there would be a horse conveniently at hand. At some stations
|
||||
a small auxiliary pipe was used to advance the train from the
|
||||
platform to the start of the main pipe.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>There were many other proposals in those days for atmospheric
|
||||
lines, but in view of these early failures, none of them were
|
||||
ever built as atmospheric railways. The next atmospheric railway
|
||||
to open actually appeared in 1990!</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>While the atmospheric railways were vanishing, the first
|
||||
pneumatic dispatch tubes were beginning to appear; I'll get
|
||||
into that later. But from that start, the pneumatic railway
|
||||
idea began to return also. At first these were designed for
|
||||
freight. Engineers J. Latimer Clark and T. W. Rammell formed
|
||||
the Pneumatic Despatch Company, which built a demonstration tube
|
||||
above ground in Battersea in 1861. This line successfully carried
|
||||
loads up to 3 tons... and even a few passengers, lying down in
|
||||
the vehicles in the 30-inch tunnel! The pressure used was up
|
||||
to 0.025 atmosphere, and speeds up to 40 mph were reached.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The Post Office became interested in the system and had several
|
||||
tunnels built for it. They were used from 1863 to 1874, though
|
||||
interrupted for a time by the financial crisis of 1866.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>(At this point they decided that the system didn't gain enough time
|
||||
to be worth the cost, not to mention the risk of a vehicle becoming
|
||||
stuck in the tube. In the 1920's, when electricity was available,
|
||||
they returned a driverless trains system, using tunnels of similar
|
||||
size to the old pneumatic tubes. This is the Post Office "tube"
|
||||
Railway, which continues in use to this day. Such systems also
|
||||
exist in Switzerland, which had it first, and in West Germany.)</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Meanwhile, while these lines were moving the mail from the streets
|
||||
of London to tunnels underneath, the first underground railways
|
||||
were doing the same with passenger traffic. The first section of
|
||||
the Metropolitan Railway (from Farringdon, now Farringdon Street,
|
||||
to Paddington station) opened in 1863. It was promptly followed
|
||||
by extensions, as well as competition in the form of the Metro-
|
||||
politan District Railway, a subsidiary that got away. (Their
|
||||
routes in central London today form the London Underground's
|
||||
Metropolitan, District, Circle, and Hammersmith & City Lines.)</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Now there was no thought of operating the Metropolitan with
|
||||
anything but steam locomotives, despite the line being mostly
|
||||
in tunnel. Sir John Fowler, who later co-designed the Forth Bridge,
|
||||
did have the idea of a steam locomotive where the heat from the fire
|
||||
would be retained in a cylinder of bricks, and therefore the fire
|
||||
could be put out when traveling in the tunnels. One example of
|
||||
this design, later called Fowler's Ghost, was tried in 1862.
|
||||
It was thermodynamically absurd: as C. Hamilton Ellis put it,
|
||||
"the trouble was that her boiler not only refrained from producing
|
||||
smoke, it produced very little steam either".</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>In the end both the Met and the District were worked with condensing
|
||||
steam locomotives: these emitted smoke as usual, but their exhaust
|
||||
steam, while running in tunnels, was directed back into the water
|
||||
tanks and condensed. The tanks were drained at the end of the run
|
||||
and refilled with cold water.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>So people were not only willing to travel in what amounted to an
|
||||
opaque tube after all, but in one filled with smoke at that!
|
||||
Why not one *without* smoke? And so the pneumatic railway was
|
||||
now tried; but it never got past the demonstration stage.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The longest line to carry passengers was opened at the Crystal
|
||||
Palace in London in 1864. It used a tunnel about 9 by 10 feet,
|
||||
1800 feet long. The driving fan was 22 feet across, generating
|
||||
about 0.01 atmosphere of pressure -- the larger the tube, the
|
||||
lower the pressure you need. The vehicle was a full-size broad
|
||||
gauge railway car ringed with bristles; it carried 35 passengers.
|
||||
The trip took 50 seconds, thus averaging about 25 mph. Another,
|
||||
smaller demonstration line was built at a fair in the US in 1867
|
||||
by Alfred Ely Beach.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Beach then formed the Beach Pneumatic Transit Company, which
|
||||
obtained permission to build a freight-carrying pneumatic line
|
||||
under Broadway in New York. But what he actually opened in 1870
|
||||
was a passenger-carrying pneumatic subway, the only one to
|
||||
actually operate under a city street. It was only 312 feet long,
|
||||
from Warren Street to Murray Street. The tunnel was 9 feet in
|
||||
diameter, and was worked by a single car with a capacity of
|
||||
18 passengers.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Beach tried but failed to get permission to extend the line.
|
||||
It closed after a few months, and New York did not get a subway
|
||||
again until 1904, when the first Interborough Rapid Transit route
|
||||
was opened (from City Hall station along the present Lexington
|
||||
Avenue, 42nd Street shuttle, and 7th Avenue lines to, um, initially
|
||||
somewhere around 120th Street). This route was electric and so
|
||||
have been all its successors.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Beach's tunnel had been almost forgotten when the crews
|
||||
constructing the new subway broke into it in 1912.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>In London, a pneumatic underground line was started *with* permission,
|
||||
but construction was never completed. This was the Waterloo and
|
||||
Whitehall Railway, which planned to connect Waterloo station to Great
|
||||
Scotland Yard, 1/2 mile away, with a 12'9" diameter tunnel passing
|
||||
under the Thames. Considering that the Thames Tunnel project of
|
||||
Sir Marc Brunel and Isambard Kingdom Brunel -- now now part of
|
||||
the Underground's East London Line -- had faced massive technical
|
||||
and financial difficulties before its long-delayed completion only
|
||||
about 20 years previously, this was no mean undertaking.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The Waterloo & Whitehall was halted by the financial crisis of 1866;
|
||||
and it was never revived. The tunnel had been started from the
|
||||
Great Scotland Yard end, and had just reached the river; work on
|
||||
the underwater section was beginning. There were other proposals
|
||||
for passenger-carrying pneumatic lines, but none saw construction
|
||||
in that form. (At least one, under the Mersey at Liverpool, England,
|
||||
was eventually opened as an ordinary railway.)</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The next type of underground line to open in London was the Tower
|
||||
Subway, which also passed under the Thames. It was a short route,
|
||||
just under the river, worked by a small cable car. It opened in
|
||||
1870 and was short-lived. (The tunnel served as a footway for a
|
||||
while after that, then was taken over for pipes. The Thames Tunnel,
|
||||
conversely, had been used first as a footway, then converted to
|
||||
railway use.)</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>After this time, electric railways began to become practical.
|
||||
The next underground line to open was the City & South London,
|
||||
now part of the Underground's Northern Line. Its first section
|
||||
(from Stockwell to a now disused terminus at King William Street,
|
||||
replaced by the present Bank station) opened in 1890. It used
|
||||
the new deep-level tube tunnels, with more limited ventilation
|
||||
than on the Metropolitan Railway, so steam was out of the question
|
||||
in any case. The original plan was for cable haulage, but instead
|
||||
the new electric locomotives were tried and the line has always
|
||||
been operated electrically. The line was first built with 10'2"
|
||||
diameter tunnels, forcing use of rather small cars. (The cars
|
||||
also had only tiny windows, on the grounds that there was nothing
|
||||
to see -- so they got the nickname of "padded cells".)</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>All of the later lines in London, opened from 1900 onwards, were
|
||||
built on the same general pattern as the C&SL, with deep-level
|
||||
tubes and electric traction -- first by locomotives and then by
|
||||
multiple-unit trains. The other tube lines vary from 11'6" to
|
||||
12-foot diameter tunnels, and the C&SL was enlarged in the 1920's
|
||||
to match. This is still rather small compared to most other
|
||||
subways in the world, and is the reason for the distinctive
|
||||
shape of the tube trains.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>With the success of the electric lines, the Metropolitan and
|
||||
District faced the loss of traffic, and they too were converted
|
||||
to elecricity -- at least for the underground sections in central
|
||||
London in 1905. The first line of the present New York subway
|
||||
system opened in 1904 and this, too, has always used electricity.
|
||||
(This was the original Interborough Rapid Transit route, from City
|
||||
Hall station along the present Lexington Avenue, 42nd Street shuttle,
|
||||
and 7th Avenue lines to, um, somewhere around 120th Street). Beach's
|
||||
tunnel had been almost forgotten when the crews constructing the
|
||||
new subway broke into it in 1912.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Meanwhile, the humble original concept of the pneumatic dispatch tube
|
||||
continued to develop. The first of them, 1.5 inches in diameter,
|
||||
had been built in 1853 by J. Latimer Clark; it connected the
|
||||
Electrical and [sic] International Telegraph Company's office in
|
||||
Telegraph Street, London, with their branch 675 feet away at the
|
||||
Stock Exchange.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The key invention was J. W. Willmott's double sluice valve of 1870,
|
||||
which allowed rapid dispatching of successive capsules. It was also
|
||||
possible, as had been done on the pneumatic railways, to use both
|
||||
positive pressure (on the order of 1 atmosphere) and vacuum, to
|
||||
drive the capsules both ways from a single pumping station. The
|
||||
tubes became quite common; many miles were built in various European
|
||||
and North American cities. By 1886 London had over 34 miles of them
|
||||
for the Post Office's telegraph service alone. In the Paris system
|
||||
a person could pay a fee for a message to be sent specifically by
|
||||
the tube.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>They were also used within large buildings, and some survive in
|
||||
use to this day.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Finally, in 1990, the Brazilian company Sur Coester stunned the
|
||||
world by opening at a fair in Djakarta, Indonesia, a demonstration
|
||||
line of their Aeromovel system. This is nothing more nor less
|
||||
than an elevated atmospheric railway. The structure is concrete,
|
||||
with steel rails and a rectangular concrete air pipe larger than
|
||||
those on the 19th century lines. The longitudinal valve is made
|
||||
of heavy cloth-reinforced rubber. Computerized remote control
|
||||
is used.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Oh yes.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Pneumatic dispatch tubes were depicted in the 1985 movie "Brazil";
|
||||
Beach's tunnel was depicted, in rather distorted form, in the 1989
|
||||
movie "Ghostbusters II"; the modern form of the New York subway
|
||||
has been depicted in many movies, notably the 1974 one "The Taking
|
||||
of Pelham One Two Three"; but I don't believe the atmospheric or
|
||||
pneumatic systems have ever been depicted at work in any movie.
|
||||
Clearly this needs to be rectified! :-)</p>

<xml><p> -Here's the lowdown on "ALTERNATIVE 3" from a TV-movie compendium.
|
||||
"ALTERNATIVE 3" (GB 1977; 52m, colour)
|
||||
Amusing spoof do commentary about the disappearance of various high-IQ
|
||||
citizens, allegedly to form nucleus of a standby civilization on Mars against
|
||||
the coming End of the World. Sly parodies of fashionable breathless TV
|
||||
journalism sweetened the joke, ex- newscaster Tim Brinton held it all
|
||||
together with po-faced gravity and needless to say some supernature fanatics
|
||||
refuse to this day to accept that it was anything but gospel truth, although
|
||||
it was orignally scheduled for April 1st (1977). Written by David Ambrose;
|
||||
directed by Chris Miles; for Anglia. Apparently the TV-movie was spawned by a
|
||||
book (or assuming the date is accurate, vice versa) of the same name. Written
|
||||
by Leslie Watkins, it was published by Sphere Books Ltd. in 1978.</p>

<p>ALTERNATIVE 003
|

<p>with
|
||||
David Ambrose & Christopher Miles</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Section 1</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>NO NEWSPAPER has yet secured the truth behind the operation known
|
||||
as ALTERNATIVE 3. Investigations by journalists have been blocked by
|
||||
governments on both sides of the Iron Curtain. American and Russia are
|
||||
ruthlessly obsessed with guarding their shared secret and this obsession, as
|
||||
we can now prove, has made them partners in murder.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>However, despite this intensive security, fragments of information have
|
||||
been made public. Often they are released inadvertently by experts who do
|
||||
not appreciate their sinister significance and these fragments, in isolation,
|
||||
mean little. But when jigsawed together they form a definite pattern, a
|
||||
pattern which appears to emphasize the enormity of this conspiracy of
|
||||
silence.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>On May 3, 1977, the Daily Mirror published this story:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>President Jimmy Carter has joined the ranks of UFO spotters. He sent
|
||||
in two written reports stating he had seen a flying saucer when he was the
|
||||
Governor of Georgia.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The President has shrugged off the incident since then, perhaps fearing
|
||||
that electors might be wary of a flying saucer freak.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>But he was reported as saying after the "sighting"; "I don't laugh at
|
||||
people any more when they say they've seen UFOs because I've seen one
|
||||
myself."</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Carter described his UFO like this: "Luminous, not solid, at first bluish,
|
||||
then reddish. It seemed to move towards us from a distance, stopped, then
|
||||
moved partially away."</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Carter filed two reports on the sighting in 1973, one to the
|
||||
International UFO Bureau and the other to the National Investigations
|
||||
Committee on Aerial Phenomena.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Heydon Hewes, who directs the International UFO Bureau from his
|
||||
home in Oklahoma City, is making speeches praising the President's
|
||||
"open-mindedness."</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>But during his presidential campaign last year Carter was cautious. He
|
||||
admitted he had seen a light in the sky but declined to call it a UFO.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>He joked: "I think it was a light beckoning me to run in the California
|
||||
primary election."</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Why this change in Carter's attitude? Because, by then, he had been
|
||||
briefed on Alternative 3?</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>A 1966 Gallup Poll showed that five million Americans including several
|
||||
highly experienced airline pilots claimed to have seen Flying Saucers.
|
||||
Fighter pilot Thomas Mantell has already died while chasing one over
|
||||
Kentucky his F.51 aircraft having disintegrated in the violent wash of his
|
||||
quarry's engines.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The U.S. Air Force, reluctantly bowing to mounting pressure, asked Dr.
|
||||
Edward Uhler Condon, a professor of astrophysics, to head an investigation
|
||||
team at Colorado University.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Condon's budget was $500,000. Shortly before his report appeared in
|
||||
1968, this story appeared in the London Evening Standard:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The Condon study is making headlines, but for all the wrong reasons. It
|
||||
is losing some of its outstanding members, under circumstances which are
|
||||
mysterious to say the least. Sinister rumors are circulating. At least four key
|
||||
people have vanished from the Condon team without offering a satisfactory
|
||||
reason for their departure.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The complete story behind the strange events in Colorado is hard to
|
||||
decipher. But a clue, at last may be found in the recent statements of Dr.
|
||||
James McDonald, the senior physicist at the Institute of Atmospheric
|
||||
Physics at the University of Arizona and widely respected in his field. In a
|
||||
wary, but ominous, telephone conversation this week, Dr. McDonald told me
|
||||
that he is "most distressed." Condon's 1,485-page report denied the
|
||||
existence of Flying Saucers and a panel of the American National Academy of
|
||||
Sciences endorsed the conclusion that "further extensive study probably
|
||||
cannot be justified."</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>But, curiously, Condon's joint principal investigator, Dr. David Saunders,
|
||||
had not contributed a word to that report. And on January 11, 1969, the
|
||||
Daily Telegraph quoted Dr. Saunders as saying of the report:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>"It is inconceivable that it can be anything but a cold stew. No matter
|
||||
how long it is, what it includes, how it is said, or what it recommends, it will
|
||||
lack the essential element of credibility."</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Already there were wide-spread suspicions that the Condon
|
||||
investigation had been part of an official coverup, that the government knew
|
||||
the truth but was determined to keep it from the public. We now know that
|
||||
those suspicions were accurate. And that the secrecy was all because of
|
||||
Alternative 3.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Only a few months after Dr. Saunders made his "cold stew" statement a
|
||||
journalist with the Columbus (Ohio) Dispatch embarrassed the National
|
||||
Aeronautics and Space Agency by photographing a strange craft looking
|
||||
exactly like a Flying Saucer at the White Sands missile range in New Mexico.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>At first no one at NASA would talk about this mysterious circular craft,
|
||||
15 feet in diameter, which had been left in the "missile graveyard" a section
|
||||
of the range where most experimental vehicles were eventually dumped.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>But the Martin Marietta company of Denver, where it was built,
|
||||
acknowledged designing several models, some with ten and twelve engines.
|
||||
And a NASA official, faced with this information, said, "Actually the engineers
|
||||
used to call it 'The Flying Saucer."</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>That confirmed a statement made by Dr. Garry Henderson, a leading
|
||||
space research scientist: "All our astronauts have seen these objects but have
|
||||
been ordered not to discuss their findings with anyone."</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Otto Binder was a member of the NASA space team. He has stated that
|
||||
NASA "killed" significant segments of conversation between Mission Control
|
||||
and Apollo 11, the spacecraft which took Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong to
|
||||
the Moon and that those segments were deleted from the official record:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>"Certain sources with their own VHF receiving facilities that by passed
|
||||
NASA broadcast outlets claim there was a portion of Earth-Moon dialogue
|
||||
that was quickly cut off by the NASA monitoring staff."</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Binder added:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>"It was presumably when the two moon walkers, Aldrin and Armstrong,
|
||||
were making the round some distance from the LEM that Armstrong
|
||||
clutched Aldrin's arm excitedly and exclaimed 'What was it? What the hell
|
||||
was it? That's all I want to know.' "</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Then, according to Binder, there was this exchange:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>MISSION CONTROL: What's there? malfunction(garble).Mission
|
||||
Control calling Apollo 11.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>APOLLO 11: These babies were huge, sir. enormous, Oh, God you
|
||||
wouldn't believe it!
|
||||
I'm telling you there are other space-craft out there
|
||||
lined up on the far side of the crater edge.
|
||||
They're on the Moon watching us.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>NASA, understandably, has never confirmed Binder's story but Buzz
|
||||
Aldrin was soon complaining bitterly about the Agency having used him as a
|
||||
"traveling salesman."</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>And two years after his Moon mission, following reported bouts of heavy
|
||||
drinking, he was admitted to hospital with "emotional depression."</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>"Traveling salesman", that's an odd choice of words, isn't it? What, in
|
||||
Aldrin's view, were the NASA authorities trying to sell? And to whom?
|
||||
Could it be that they were using him, and others like him, to sell their
|
||||
official version of the truth to ordinary people right across the world?</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Was Aldrin's Moon walk one of those great spectaculars, presented with
|
||||
maximum publicity, to justify the billions being poured into space research?</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Was it part of the American-Russian cover for Alternative 3?</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>All men who have travelled to the Moon have given indications of
|
||||
knowing about Alternative 3 and of the reasons which precipitated it.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>In May, 1972, James Irwin, officially the sixth man to walk on the
|
||||
Moon, resigned to become a Baptist missionary. And he said then, "The
|
||||
flight made me a deeper religious person and more keenly aware of the
|
||||
fragile nature of our planet."</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Edgar Mitchell, who landed on the Moon with the Apollo 14 mission in
|
||||
February, 1971, also resigned in May, 1972 to devote himself to
|
||||
parapsychology. Later, at the headquarters of his Institute for noetic
|
||||
Sciences near San Francisco, he described looking at this world from the
|
||||
Moon: "I went into a very deep pathos, a kind of anguish. That incredibly
|
||||
beautiful planet that was Earth, a place no bigger than my thumb was my
|
||||
home.. a blue and white jewel against a velvet black sky...was being killed
|
||||
off."</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>And on March 23, 1974, he was quoted in the Daily Express as saying
|
||||
that society had only three ways in which to go and that the third was "the
|
||||
most viable but most difficult alternative."</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Another of the Apollo Moon walkers, Bob Grodin, was equally specific
|
||||
when interviewed by a Sceptre Television reporter on June 20, 1977;</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>"You think they need all that crap down in Florida just to put two guys
|
||||
up there on a bicycle? The hell they do! You know why they need us?
|
||||
So they've got a P.R. story for all that hardware they've been firing into
|
||||
space.
|
||||
We're nothing, man! Nothing!"</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>On July 11, 1977, the Los Angeles Times came near to the heart of
|
||||
the matter, nearer than any other newspaper, when it published a
|
||||
remarkable interview with Dr. Gerard O'Neill.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Dr. O'Neill is a Princeton professor who served, during a 1976
|
||||
sabbatical, as Professor of Aerospace at the Massachusetts Institute of
|
||||
Technology and who gets nearly $500,000 each year in research grants from
|
||||
NASA. Here is a section from that article:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The United Nations, he says, has conservatively estimated that the
|
||||
world's population, now more than 4 billion people, will grow to about 6.5
|
||||
billion by the year 2000. Today, he adds, about 30% of the world's
|
||||
population is in developed nations. But, because most of the projected
|
||||
population growth will occur in underdeveloped countries, that will drop to
|
||||
22% by the end of the century. The world of 2000 will be poorer and
|
||||
hungrier than the world today, he says.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Dr. O'Neill also explained the problems caused by the earth's 4,000 mile
|
||||
atmospheric layer, but presumably because the article was comparatively
|
||||
short one, he was not quoted on the additional threat posed by the notorious
|
||||
"greenhouse" syndrome.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>His solution? He called it Island 3. And he added: "There's no debate
|
||||
about the technology involved in doing it. That's been confirmed by NASA's
|
||||
top people."</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>But Dr. O'Neill, a family man with three children who like to fly
|
||||
sailplanes in his spare time, did not realize that he was slightly off target.
|
||||
He was right, of course, about the technology.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>But he knew nothing of the political ramifications and he would have
|
||||
been astounded to learn that NASA was feeding his research to the Russians.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Even eminent political specialists, as respected in their sphere as Dr.
|
||||
O'Neill is in his own, have been puzzled by an undercurrent they have
|
||||
detected in East-West relationships.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Professor G. Gordon Broadbent, director of the independently financed
|
||||
Institute of Political Studies in London and author of a major study of
|
||||
U.S.-Soviet diplomacy since the 1950s, emphasized that fact on June 20,
|
||||
1977, when he was interviewed on Sceptre Television:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>"On the broader issue of Soviet-U.S. relations, I must admit there is an
|
||||
element of mystery which troubles many people in my field."</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>He added: "What we're suggesting is that, at the very highest levels of
|
||||
East-West diplomacy, there has been operating a factor of which we know
|
||||
nothing. Now it could just be and I stress the word 'could' that this
|
||||
unknown factor is some kind of massive but covert operation in space. But
|
||||
as for the reasons behind it we are not in the business of speculation."</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Washington's acute discomfort over O'Neill's revelations through the Los
|
||||
Angeles Times can be assessed by the urgency with which a "suppression"
|
||||
Bill was rushed to the Statute Book.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>On July 27, 1977, only sixteen days after publication of the O'Neill
|
||||
interview columnist Jeremy Campbell reported in the London Evening
|
||||
Standard that the Bill would become law that September. He wrote:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>It prohibits the publishing of an official report without permission,
|
||||
arguing that this obstructs the Government's control of its own information.
|
||||
That was precisely the charge brought against Daniel Ellsberg for giving the
|
||||
Pentagon papers to the New York Times.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Most ominous of all, the Bill would make it a crime for any present or
|
||||
former civil servant to tell the Press of Government wrong doing or pass on
|
||||
any news based on information "submitted to the Government in private."</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Campbell pointed out that this final clause "has given serious pain to
|
||||
guardians of American Press freedom because it creates a brand new crime."
|
||||
Particularly as there was provision in the Bill for offending journalists to be
|
||||
sent to prison for up to six years.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>We subsequently discovered that a man called Harman Leonard Harman
|
||||
read that item in the newspaper and that later, in a certain television
|
||||
executives' dining room, he expressed regret that a similar Law had not been
|
||||
passed years earlier by the British government.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>He was eating treacle tart with custard at the time and he reflected
|
||||
wistfully that he could then have insisted on such a Law being obeyed. That,
|
||||
when it came to Alternative 3, would have saved him from a great deal of
|
||||
trouble.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>He had chosen treacle tart, not because he particularly liked it, but
|
||||
because it was 2p(ence) cheaper than the chocolate sponge. That was
|
||||
typical of Harman.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>He was one of the people, as you may have learned already through the
|
||||
Press, who tried to interfere with the publication of this book. We will later
|
||||
be presenting some of the letters received by us from him and his lawyers
|
||||
together with the replies from our legal advisers.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>We decided to print these letters in order to give you a thorough insight
|
||||
into our investigation for it is important to stress that we, like Professor
|
||||
Broadbent, are not in the "business of speculation." We are interested only in
|
||||
the facts.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>And it is intriguing to note the pattern of facts relating to astronauts
|
||||
who have been on Moon missions and who have therefore been exposed to
|
||||
some of the surprises presented by Alternative 3.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>A number, undermined by the strain of being party to such a
|
||||
horrendous secret, suffered nervous or mental collapses. A high percentage
|
||||
sought sanctuary in excessive drinking or in extramarital affairs which
|
||||
destroyed what had been secure and successful marriages.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Yet these were men originally picked from many thousands precisely
|
||||
because of their stability. Their training and experience, intelligence and
|
||||
physical fitness all these, of course, were prime considerations in their
|
||||
selection. But the supremely important quality was their balanced
|
||||
temperament.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>It would need something stupendous, something almost unimaginable
|
||||
to most people, to flip such men into dramatic personality changes. That
|
||||
something, we have now established, was Alternative 3 and, perhaps more
|
||||
particularly, the night marish obscenities involved in the development and
|
||||
perfection of Alternative 3.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>We are not suggesting that the President of the United States has had
|
||||
personal knowledge of the terror and clinical cruelties which have been an
|
||||
integral part of the Operation, for that would make him directly responsible
|
||||
for murders and barbarous mutilations.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>We are convinced, in fact, that this is not the case. The President and
|
||||
the Russian leader, together with their immediate subordinates, have been
|
||||
concerned only with broad sweep of policy.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>They have acted in unison to ensure what they consider to be the best
|
||||
possible future for mankind. And the day to day details have been delegated
|
||||
to high level professionals.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>These professionals, we have now established, have been classifying
|
||||
people selected for the Alternative 3 operation into two categories: those
|
||||
who are picked as individuals and those who merely form part of a "batch
|
||||
consignment."</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>There have been several "batch consignments" and it is the treatment
|
||||
meted out to most of these men and women which provides the greatest
|
||||
cause for outrage.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>No matter how desperate the circumstances may be$and we reluctantly
|
||||
recognize that they are extremely desperate$no humane society could
|
||||
tolerate what has been done to the innocent and the gullible.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>That view, fortunately, was taken by one man who was recruited into
|
||||
the Alternative 3 team three years ago. He was, at first, highly enthusiastic
|
||||
and completely dedicated to the Operation. However, he became revolted by
|
||||
some of the atrocities involved. He did not consider that, even in the
|
||||
prevailing circumstances, they could be justified.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Three days after the transmission of that sensational television
|
||||
documentary, his conscience finally goaded him into action. He knew the
|
||||
appalling risk he was taking, for he was aware of what had happened to
|
||||
others who had betrayed the secrets of Alternative 3, but he made telephone
|
||||
contact with television reporter Colin Benson and offered to provide Benson
|
||||
with evidence of the most astounding nature.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>He was calling, he said, from abroad but he was prepared to travel to
|
||||
London. They met two days later. And he then explained to Benson that
|
||||
copies of most orders and memoranda, together with transcripts prepared
|
||||
from tapes of Policy Committee meetings, were filed in triplicate in
|
||||
Washington, Moscow and Geneva where Alternative 3 had its operational
|
||||
headquarters.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The system had been instituted to ensure there was no
|
||||
misunderstanding between the principal partners. He occasionally had
|
||||
access to some of that material although it was often weeks or even months
|
||||
old before he saw it and he was willing to supply what he could to Benson.
|
||||
He wanted no money. He merely wanted to alert the public, to help stop the
|
||||
mass atrocities.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Benson's immediate reaction, after he had assessed the value of this
|
||||
offer, was that Sceptre should mount a follow up programme, one which
|
||||
would expose the horrors of Alternative 3 in far greater depth.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>He argued bitterly with his superiors at Sceptre but they were adamant.
|
||||
The company was already in serious trouble with the government and there
|
||||
was some doubt about whether its licence would be renewed. They refused
|
||||
to consider the possibility of doing another programme. They had officially
|
||||
disclaimed the Alternative 3 documentary as a hoax and that was where the
|
||||
matter had to rest.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Anyway, they pointed out, this character who'd come forward was
|
||||
probably a nut$ If you saw the documentary, you will probably realize that
|
||||
Benson is a stubborn man. His friends say he is pig obstinate. They also say
|
||||
he is a first class investigative journalist.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>He was angry about this attempt to suppress the truth and that is why
|
||||
he agreed to co-operate in the preparation of this book. That co-operation
|
||||
has been invaluable.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Through Benson we met the telephone caller who we now refer to as
|
||||
Trojan. And that meeting resulted in our acquiring documents, which we
|
||||
will be presenting, including transcripts of tapes made at the most secret
|
||||
rendezvous in the world, thirty five fathoms beneath the ice cap of the
|
||||
Arctic.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>For obvious reasons, we cannot reveal the identity of Trojan. Nor can
|
||||
we give any hint about his function or status in the Operation.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>We are completely satisfied, however, that his credentials are authentic
|
||||
and that, in breaking his oath of silence, he is prompted by the most
|
||||
honourable of motives.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>He stands in relation to the Alternative 3 conspiracy in much the same
|
||||
position as the anonymous informant "Deep Throat" occupied in the
|
||||
Watergate affair. Most of the "batch consignments" have been taken from the
|
||||
area known as the Bermuda Triangle but numerous other locations have also
|
||||
been used.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>On October 6, 1975, the Daily Telegraph gave prominence to this
|
||||
story: </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The disappearance in bizarre circumstances in the past two weeks of
|
||||
20 people from small coastal communities in Oregon was being intensively
|
||||
investigated at the weekend amid reports of an imaginative fraud scheme
|
||||
involving a "flying saucer" and hints of mass murder.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Sheriff's officers at Newport, Oregon, said that the 20 individuals had
|
||||
vanished without trace after being told to give away all their possessions,
|
||||
including their children, so that they could be transported in a flying saucer
|
||||
"by UFO to a better life."</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>"Deputies under Mr. Ron Sutton, chief criminal investigator in
|
||||
surrounding Lincoln County, have traced the story back to a meeting on
|
||||
September 14 in a resort hotel, the Bayshore Inn at Waldport, Oregon$
|
||||
Local police have received conflicting reports as to what occurred (at the
|
||||
meeting).</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>But while it is clear that the speaker did not pretend to be from outer
|
||||
space, he told the audience how their souls could be "saved through a UFO.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>"The hall had been reserved for a fee of $50 by a man and a woman who
|
||||
gave false names. Mr. Sutton said witnesses had described them as "fortyish,
|
||||
well groomed, straight types."</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The Telegraph said that "selected people would be prepared at a special
|
||||
camp in Colorado for life on another planet" and quoted Investigator Sutton
|
||||
as adding:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>"They were told they would have to give away everything, even their
|
||||
children. I'm checking a report of one family who supposedly gave away
|
||||
150-acre farm and three children."</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>"We don't know if it's fraud or whether these people might be killed.
|
||||
There are all sorts of rumours, including some about human sacrifice and
|
||||
that this is sponsored by the (Charles) Manson family."</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>"Most of the missing 20 were described as being "hippie types"
|
||||
although there were some older people among them."</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>People of this calibre, we have now discovered, have been what is
|
||||
known as "scientifically adjusted" to fit them for a new role as a slave
|
||||
species.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>There have been equally strange reports of animals, particularly farm
|
||||
animals, disappearing in large numbers. And occasionally it appears that
|
||||
aspects of the Alternative 3 operation have been bungled, that attempts to
|
||||
lift "batch consignments" of humans or of animals have failed.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>On July 15, 1977, the Daily Mail under a "Flying Saucer" headline
|
||||
carried this story:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Men in face masks, using metal detectors and a geiger counter,
|
||||
yesterday scoured a remote Dartmoor valley in a bid to solve a macabre
|
||||
mystery. Their search centred on marshy grassland where 15 wild ponies
|
||||
were found dead, their bodies mangled and torn.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>All appeared to have died at about the same time, and many of the bones
|
||||
have been inexplicably shattered. To add to the riddle, their bodies
|
||||
decomposed to virtual skeletons within only 48 hours.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Animal experts confess they are baffled by the deaths at Cherry Brook
|
||||
Valley near Postbridge.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Yesterday's search was carried out by members of the Devon
|
||||
Unidentified Flying Objects centre at Torquay who are trying to prove a link
|
||||
with outer space.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>They believe that flying saucers may have flown low over the area and
|
||||
created a vortex which hurled the ponies to their death. Mr. John Wyse,
|
||||
head of the four-man team, said:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>"If a spacecraft has been in the vicinity, there may still be detectable
|
||||
evidence. We wanted to see if there was any sign that the ponies had been
|
||||
shot but we have found nothing. This incident bears an uncanny
|
||||
resemblance to similar events reported in America."</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The Mail report concluded with a statement from an official
|
||||
representing The Dartmoor Livestock Protection Society and the Animal
|
||||
Defence Society:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>"Whatever happened was violent. We are keeping an open mind. I am
|
||||
fascinated by the UFO theory. There is no reason to reject that possibility
|
||||
since there is no other rational explanation."</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>These, then, were typical of the threads, which inspired the original
|
||||
television investigation. It needed one person, however, to show how they
|
||||
could be embroidered into a clear picture.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Without the specialist guidance of that person the Sceptre television
|
||||
documentary could never have been produced, and Trojan would never have
|
||||
contacted Colin Benson.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>And it would have been years, possibly seven years or even longer,
|
||||
before ordinary people started to suspect the devastating truth about this
|
||||
planet on which we live. That person, of course, is the old man$</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Section 2</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>THEY Realize now that they should have killed the old man.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>That would have been the logical course to protect the secrecy of
|
||||
Alternative 3. It is curious, really, that they did not agree to his death on
|
||||
that Thursday in February for, as we have stated, they do use murder.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Of course, it is not called murder, not when it is done jointly by the
|
||||
governments of America and Russia. It is an Act of Expediency.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Many Acts of Expediency are believed to have been ordered by the
|
||||
sixteen men, official representatives of the pentagon and the Kremlin, who
|
||||
comprise the Policy Committee.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Grotesque and apparently inexplicable slayings in various parts of the
|
||||
world in Germany and Japan, Britain and Australia are alleged to have been
|
||||
sanctioned by them.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>We have not been able to substantiate these suspicions and allegations
|
||||
so we merely record that an unknown number of people, including
|
||||
distinguished radio astronomer Sir William Ballantine, have been executed
|
||||
because of this astonishing agreement between the super-powers.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Prominent politicians, including two in Britain, were among those who
|
||||
tried to prevent the publication of this book. They insisted that it is not
|
||||
necessary for you, and others like you, to be told the unpalatable facts.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>They argue that the events of the future are now inevitable, that there is
|
||||
nothing to be gained by prematurely unleashing fear.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>We concede that they are sincere in their views but we maintain that
|
||||
you ought to know. You have a right to know.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Attemps were also made to neuter the television programme which first
|
||||
focused public attention on Alternative 3. Those attemps were partially
|
||||
successful. And, of course, after the programme was transmitted, when
|
||||
there was that spontaneous explosion of anxiety, Septre Television was
|
||||
forced to issue a formal denial.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>It had all been a hoax. That's what they were told to say. That's what
|
||||
they did say.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Most people were then only too glad to be reassured. They wanted to
|
||||
be convinced that the programme had been devised as a joke, that it was
|
||||
merely an elaborate piece of escapist entertainment. It was more
|
||||
comfortable that way.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>In fact, the television researchers did uncover far more disturbing
|
||||
material than they were allowed to transmit. The censored information is
|
||||
now in our possession. And, as we have indicated, there was a great deal
|
||||
that Benson and the rest of the television team did not discover, not until
|
||||
after their programme had been screened. </p>

<p>======================================================================</p>
|

|
||||
<p>The Truth about Alternative 3
|
||||
from its author, Leslie Watkins</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>(This article is taken from the $Windwords$ newsletter)
|
||||
address not available</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>In our June issue, we told you about the controversial book Alternative
|
||||
3, by British author Leslie Watkins. In out attempt to find out if the
|
||||
shocking theories in the book were true, we called Avon Books, the
|
||||
American publisher; they said the book was out of print in the states. We
|
||||
called Penguin Books in London and found that it was listed on their
|
||||
NON-FICTION list. A senior editor there told us that it was officially
|
||||
classified as FICTION BASED ON FACT. The author's agent told us it was
|
||||
most definitely fiction. We wrote to the author himself to try to get the
|
||||
real story, and here is the letter he sent us.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Dear Ms. Dittrich:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Thank you for your letter, which reached me today. Naturally, I am
|
||||
delighted by your interest in Alternative 3 and by the fact that you plan to
|
||||
sell it in the Windwords bookstore. I will certainly cooperate in any way I
|
||||
can.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The correct description of Alternative 3 was given to you by the
|
||||
representative from Penguin Books. The book is based on fact, but uses that
|
||||
fact as a launchpad for a HIGH DIVE INTO FICTION. In answer to your
|
||||
specific questions:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>1) There is no astronaut named Grodin.
|
||||
2) There is no Sceptre Television and the reported Benson is also
|
||||
fictional.
|
||||
3) There is no Dr. Gerstein.
|
||||
4) Yes, a "documentary" was televised in June 1977 on Anglia
|
||||
Television, which went out to the entire national network in Britain.
|
||||
It was called Alternative 3 and was written by David Ambrose and
|
||||
produced by Christopher Miles (whose names were on the book for
|
||||
contractual reasons). This original TV version, which I EXPANDED
|
||||
IMMENSELY for the book, was ACTUALLY A HOAX which had been
|
||||
scheduled for transmission on April Fools' Day. Because of certain
|
||||
problems in finding the right network slot, the transmission was
|
||||
delayed.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The TV program did cause a tremendous uproar because viewers
|
||||
refused to believe it was fiction. I initially took the view that the
|
||||
basic premise was so way-out, particularly the way I aimed to
|
||||
present it in the book, that no one would regard it as non-fiction.
|
||||
Immediately after publication, I realized I was totally wrong. In fact,
|
||||
the amazing mountains of letters from virtually all parts of the world
|
||||
including vast numbers from highly intelligent people in positions of
|
||||
responsibility-convinced me that I had ACCIDENTALLY trespassed
|
||||
into a range of top-secret truths. </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Documentary evidence provided by many of these
|
||||
correspondents decided me to write a serious and COMPLETELY
|
||||
NON-FICTION sequel. Unfortunately, a chest containing the bulk of
|
||||
the letters was among the items which were mysteriously LOST IN
|
||||
TRANSIT some four years when I moved from London, England, to
|
||||
Sydney, Australia, before I moved on to settle in New Zealand. For
|
||||
some time after Alternative 3 was originally published, I have
|
||||
reason to suppose that my home telephone was being tapped and my
|
||||
contacts who were experienced in such matters were convinced
|
||||
that certain intelligence agencies considered that I probably knew
|
||||
too much.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>So, summing up, the book is FICTION BASED ON FACT. But I now feel
|
||||
that I inadvertently got VERY CLOSE TO A SECRET TRUTH. I hope this is of
|
||||
some help to you and I look forward to hearing from you again.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>With best wishes,
|
||||
Leslie Watkins</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Unfortunately, Alternative 3 is no longer available. We (Windwords)
|
||||
bought all the remaining copies from the British publisher and those quickly
|
||||
sold out. If the book is reprinted, you can be sure we'll let you know and
|
||||
we'll carry it in the Windwords bookstore.</p>

Anti-American Jewish League
|
||||
---------------------------</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>From: San Francisco Chronicle, Wed. Dec. 12, 1990 (Briefing Section)
|
||||
----</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The British Zionists were led by Chaim Weizmann, a brilliant chemist who
|
||||
contributed to the war effort by discovering a new process for manufacturing
|
||||
acetone, a substance vital for TNT that was until then only produced in
|
||||
Germany. Weizmann saw a historic opening for Zionism and began to lobby
|
||||
influential British politicians.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Early in their talks with British politicians, it became clear to them that
|
||||
only a British Palestine would be a reliable buffer for the Suez Canal.
|
||||
Weizmann therefore assured Britain that in exchange for its support,
|
||||
Zionists would work for the establishment of a British protectorate there.
|
||||
This suited Britain better than the agreement it had already made with
|
||||
France for an international administration for Palestine.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>So on November 2, 1917, Foreign Secretary Arthur Balfour made his famous
|
||||
and deeply ambiguous declaration that Britain would "view with favor the
|
||||
establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people..."
|
||||
How did the pledge to the Zionists square with what had already been
|
||||
promised to the Arabs in return for their support in the war against the
|
||||
Turks? The Arabs realized that they had been outmaneuvered.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Note - As you can see, the main reason our troops are in the Persian Gulf
|
||||
is because of the Zionist hunger for a national home in Palestine.
|
||||
Palestine was an independent land before 1917. But after the
|
||||
totally unfair Balfour Declaration, written by British Zionists,
|
||||
Zionists (Jews) were given permission by Great Britain to take
|
||||
over Palestine and keep lands which do not belong to them. And
|
||||
the US has not done anything about it. Why? Because of the
|
||||
better known media, which are all Zionists. (ie. Ted Koppell,
|
||||
Larry King, etc etc etc) Many large corporations are also run
|
||||
by Jews, including many of the large corporations which make
|
||||
stuff for our military. </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Note - The American Anti-Jewish League in no way supports the naked
|
||||
aggression committed by Saddam Hussein against Kuwait. He
|
||||
must leave Kuwait, even though Kuwait, contrary to popular
|
||||
opinion, once WAS a PROVINCE of Iraq. There is no doubt about
|
||||
this: just go to your public library and get a good book on
|
||||
Iraq, Kuwait, or British Foreign Policy in the Middle East.
|
||||
Once again, it was the British (and French) who set up the
|
||||
current boundaries which exist today. However, what Saddam
|
||||
has done must be overruled, exactly as what the Jews have
|
||||
done to Palestine must be stopped. Do you know how much of
|
||||
our TAXES go to Israel every year? Do you know how much
|
||||
trouble we've gone through to protect Israel? Do you know
|
||||
that there are more Jews in the USA than in any other country
|
||||
in the world? Do you know most Jews (especially the conser-
|
||||
vative and highly orthodox ones) are strong anti-Americans?
|
||||
Why then, are we supporting them? Because many of our
|
||||
highest government positions are run by Jews. They are
|
||||
practically running the US. And what about the British?
|
||||
It is not Japan that owns more of the US than other countries.
|
||||
It is Great Britain. They own more US land, corporations,
|
||||
stocks, interests, etc. in the US than the Japanese and 5
|
||||
other countries put together. If you don't believe any of
|
||||
this, just print it out, and go to your local public library
|
||||
or ask an unbiased History professor. This is all true.
|
||||
Please spread the word around, and upload this and other
|
||||
files to as many BBS's as you can. We must begin to stop
|
||||
this low-profile takeover of our country, or else it will
|
||||
be too late to control it. Thank you for your time.</p>

<p> American Anti-Jewish League
|
||||
---------------------------</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Have you ever wondered why so many people hate or dislike Jews? From their
|
||||
very first existence, they have been hated by people around them and people
|
||||
who knew them. Why? All through these ages, anti-semitism is still strong.
|
||||
Why? It is true that some of this hatred is not founded for truly, such as
|
||||
in the case of the Germans. Hitler was looking for a people to accuse of
|
||||
Germany's downfall, so he picked the Jews. Although this is not the main
|
||||
reason for Germany's weakness at that time, there is still something to it.
|
||||
Jews were contributing, but very minutely, and in low-profile, to Germany's
|
||||
problems. Anyway, back to the main point. Now it is the Arabs who are after
|
||||
the Jews, even though if you go back to Germany today, the majority of
|
||||
Germans (although they will not admit it right away) are still anti-semitic.
|
||||
Wouldn't you still be? Just look at ALL these movies made and shown on
|
||||
TV and at cinemas in which the world is pitted against the Germans, and
|
||||
the Germans always lose. These movies are still shown every day on TV and
|
||||
cable. Just turn on TBS, TNT, etc. Anyway, now it is the Arabs. And
|
||||
now we have and soon will have more movies which bring down the Arabs.
|
||||
(ie. the new Sally Field movie, which is grossly exaggerated) Don't
|
||||
forget who runs most of the TV networks and movie studios. So why do
|
||||
so many people hate Jews (also known as Zionists, semitic people (not very
|
||||
correctly though), Israelites, Israelis) The answer to this question
|
||||
is very simple. Jews believe that they are God's chosen people (they
|
||||
honestly believe this, even though they will not admit it anymore di-
|
||||
rectly) and that because they are so, then they are superior to all
|
||||
other people. All others must work for Jews, because no one else is
|
||||
as gifted as they are. It is true that most Jews have above-average
|
||||
intelligence, and that they are very handy and dexterous, and work hard
|
||||
(but only for themselves) We are not denying this. What we detest is
|
||||
their attitude that they are superior to us, and therefore we must
|
||||
be their slaves. And they can do almost anything they want, because
|
||||
they are the "chosen" ones. Because of this belief of theirs, Jews
|
||||
along with their other attributes have been slowly and quietly taking
|
||||
over the most important world systems. They cheat a lot; this is one
|
||||
of their most distinguished characteristics. What we mean by cheat
|
||||
is not just cheating, but taking advantage of the right opportunities
|
||||
to gain their objectives. They are extremely well-known for their
|
||||
"money habits". They take advantage of less qualified peoples, using
|
||||
them knowingly. They help mostly only themselves, and have very close
|
||||
ties with each other. (they even have their owns BBs's, just look in-
|
||||
side Computer Currents) Because of this connections, they can get
|
||||
things done easily. If a Jew needs job, no problem. There are other
|
||||
Jews in all the top job areas, who will right away hire him/her first
|
||||
over others. They have extremely high-level propaganda machinery;
|
||||
many TV and radio commentators are Jews, many reporters, book writers,
|
||||
and magazines are Jewish. AND very importantly, the many publications
|
||||
companies are run by Jews. If you have any doubts, just do some
|
||||
research. It might take you a while, but you will find out that, yes,
|
||||
it is true. And these people are ALL over the world: Israel, USA,
|
||||
England, Canada, spread over in S. American, all over Europe, USSR,
|
||||
etc etc. They are practically in the highest-level positions all over
|
||||
the world. And they use their clear advantage to continually gain
|
||||
more and more power. The Middle East is the last bastion of true
|
||||
anti-Zionism. God only knows what would happen if they were to take
|
||||
over the Middle East and its oil too. They already have the biggest
|
||||
banks, corporations, communications systems, etc in the world. All
|
||||
they need now is oil. And all throughout the ages, they have been
|
||||
doing the same thing, and when successful, suppressing all opposing
|
||||
views. Now they have finally succeeded in turning the whole world
|
||||
against Iraq, the 2nd biggest anti-Zionist country in the world. This
|
||||
of course, has been done in an indirect manner, and has taken them a
|
||||
lot of time. But it has worked. Once Saddam is ousted, thanks to
|
||||
our soldiers and money, they will then begin to slowly get control of
|
||||
the region. There is still Iran, Syria, and other countries, but they
|
||||
can be taken care of too. It will not be easy for them, because the
|
||||
Arabs are tremendous anti-semites, and they are willing to do anything
|
||||
to stop the Jews. But, with the US, Britain, and other countries
|
||||
helping them, the Jewish will have all the support they need to accom-
|
||||
plish their goals. And all because these countries are practically
|
||||
run by Jews. So please, become more informed on this subject. Read
|
||||
more books, newspapers, etc. about these people, making DEAD sure
|
||||
that they are not written by Jewish authors, or published by Jewish
|
||||
publication companies, or third-party Jewish-influenced writers.
|
||||
We must stop these people from controlling the world. We don't want
|
||||
to kill them or hurt them, we want to let them know that they are
|
||||
not superior to us, they are not God's chosen people, and that they
|
||||
cannot do whatever they want. Please, help us out. Spread these
|
||||
files around, call your senators and representatives, read more
|
||||
about this stuff, etc. JEWS MUST BE STOPPED... NOW!</p>

|
||||
|
||||
<p>How would you like it if another peoples, with greater military capability
|
||||
and more money came to the United States and started to control it. If
|
||||
they began to put strict restrictions on everything you did, and started
|
||||
to take away your rights. If they set curfews, so that you couldn't
|
||||
come outside at times, and refused to let you go wherever you wanted.
|
||||
If they refused to allow you to celebrate certain holidays. If they put
|
||||
down all opposition brutally, killing anyone who disobeyed their rules.
|
||||
And to top if off, they were supported by the biggest military in the
|
||||
world. You could do nothing about it. Nothing. All tries have been
|
||||
put down by force. Anything you have done has ended in your people
|
||||
being killed or injured. How would you feel? Be honest now. Well,
|
||||
this is exactly what is happening in Palestine now. It's even worse
|
||||
than this. There is no way to describe it. The only way to do so is
|
||||
to sit down for a few minutes and imagine people coming into your
|
||||
town and suddenly taking control of it. You have to do everything
|
||||
they tell you to. If you go out and protest, they will injure you. If
|
||||
you get violent, they will kill you, saying that you have been wanted
|
||||
for other offenses as well, and that you had done such and such.
|
||||
And there is absolutely nothing that you can do. Many people outside
|
||||
are talking about this, but no one is really doing anything about it.
|
||||
It feels terrible, doesn't it? You are beginning to get really angry
|
||||
now, that no one is listening to your cries. You try more violent
|
||||
methods - nothing. So you decide the only way to make it known to
|
||||
others is to use terrorist methods. You hijack a plane. Now the
|
||||
whole world is against you. More Jewish propaganda. You are called
|
||||
a barbarian, uncivilized. Just throw a nuke on you, many say. So
|
||||
what do you do? This is exactly what is happening to the Palestinian
|
||||
people. Please, do something about it. Or at least, next time you
|
||||
hear Jews, Jewish propaganda, or some other Jewish views, question
|
||||
them, embarass them. Don't believe everything they say. Become
|
||||
more informed. STOP THEM BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!</p>

|

They run practically all the biggest TV networks, newspapers, radio
|

stations, higher posts, etc. in the USA. </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> American Anti-Jewish League
|
||||
---------------------------</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> UPDATE</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>So, now that Saddam Hussein has fired Scud missiles into Israel, and the
|
||||
Jews have shown restraint, they immediately expect something from us. Today
|
||||
they asked for 13 billion more dollars (billion, not million). In addition
|
||||
to this, they have asked for another $10 billion from other countries.
|
||||
Why the hell do we have to send our tax dollars to them? Why? They have
|
||||
everything they already need. They have a huge air force, many nuclear
|
||||
weapons, an army, navy, and money. Why should we send them anything? If
|
||||
we are going to send money to someone, there are many other needier nations
|
||||
on this planet who have none of the above. Instead, we send this money to
|
||||
a country which from its very beginning has caused trouble. Possibly, no
|
||||
other country has ever caused so many problems for humankind in history.
|
||||
These Jewish pigs are now taking advantage of the circumstances to get many
|
||||
of their ideas across, and thanks to Saddam, they are being very success-
|
||||
ful. All the TV networks (most of which are run by Jews (many of the news
|
||||
directors are Jewish, plus anchormen as well, such as Ted Coppel, Larry
|
||||
King, etc etc)) are interviewing Jewish state figures, and asking them
|
||||
favorable questions. CNN itself constantly interviews many Jewish heads
|
||||
of state. But very few Arab leaders/figures are interviews, and if done
|
||||
so, not very rational figures are chosen so that people get the wrong
|
||||
impression. (ie. those two Jordanian engineers on Nightline who do not
|
||||
reflect the majority opinion of Arabs) All the Jewish pigs interviewed
|
||||
have been saying: "Now the world knows what we have had to put up with
|
||||
all these years", when in fact, it is exactly the opposite! It is what
|
||||
the Arab people have had to put up with, especially the Palestinians,
|
||||
who unfortunately supported Saddam's aggression. This is truly sad,
|
||||
because it has given the Palestinians a very bad image, especially in
|
||||
the USA. Many of you are probably saying, "Oh, those poor Israelis,
|
||||
look what they have to put up with. If San Francisco was bombed, I
|
||||
would do the same too." And this is somewhat true; Saddam is a brutal
|
||||
dictator, and the only thing he has done is help the Zionist pigs.
|
||||
So here we go again; we've given them Patriot missile systems (each
|
||||
Patriot missile costs $1 million - this is your TAX money!) Now we're
|
||||
about to give those pigs, who don't really need this money, another
|
||||
$13 billion. Of course the Arab countries will see us with an evil
|
||||
eye. Not only have we ignored them, but now we are putting the icing
|
||||
on the Jewish cake. This is enfuriating them. The Jews are (they say
|
||||
this, and it is true, but they also take advantage of inferior peoples.
|
||||
Just trace Jewish history) smart people, they are literate, have schools,
|
||||
money, etc. Why can't they just get their own money? They practically
|
||||
run a third of our country. Now, for restraining against immediate
|
||||
attack (they will attack later though), they ask us for $13 billion.
|
||||
This is an outrage! An absolute outrage! Our economy is going down,
|
||||
we are cutting from health care, and from education, there are many
|
||||
programs here that need money, and what do we do? We give those Jewish
|
||||
pigs, who need the money less than we do, millions of dollars every
|
||||
year. So that they can in return take advantage of our resources.
|
||||
I plead with you that you do something about this. We have to stop
|
||||
this. Many of the people who run the USA our Jews. Get them out
|
||||
of their posts. Please, we must do something about this NOW, before
|
||||
it's too late to even start something. Write letters. Ask people.
|
||||
Inform yourselves. Read books (that are not biased - many of the
|
||||
biggest publications companies are run by Jews) Spread this file
|
||||
around as many bulletin boards as possible. Thank you for your
|
||||
time.

<p>Duties</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The primary functions of the FBI and its agents are the investigations of
|
||||
violations of certain Federal statutes and the collection of evidence in cases
|
||||
in which the United States is or may be an interested party. The FBI performs
|
||||
other duties specifically imposed by law or Presidential directive and conducts
|
||||
a number of service activities for other law enforcement agencies. The FBI can
|
||||
investigate a matter only when it has authority to do so under a law passed by
|
||||
Congress or on instructions of the President or the Attorney General.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The FBI is not a Federal police force, it is a fact-finding organization
|
||||
investigating violations of Federal laws and its authority is strictly limited
|
||||
to matters within its jurisdiction. FBI agents may make arrests without a
|
||||
warrant for any Federal offense committed in their presence, or when they have
|
||||
reasonable grounds to believe that the person to be arrested has committed or
|
||||
is attempting to commit a felony violation of United States laws. Agents may
|
||||
also make arrests by warrant.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Agents do not make arrests for "investigation" or "on suspicion". Before
|
||||
arrests are made, if at all possible, the facts of each case are presented tom
|
||||
the U.S. Attorney who decides whether or not a Federal violation has occurred
|
||||
and, if so, the U.S. Attorney may authorize agents to file a complaint which
|
||||
serves as the basis of the arrest warrant.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The FBI has no authority to investigate local crimes which are not within its
|
||||
jurisdiction. The FBI will, however, render all possible assistance to the
|
||||
local police through the FBI Laboratory and Identification Division. The FBI
|
||||
LID maintains fingerprint files on approximately 70 million (yes, million)
|
||||
people. The FBI also maintains the National Crime Information Center (NCIC)
|
||||
which keeps records of missing persons, serialized stolen property, wanted
|
||||
persons for whom an arrest warrant is outstanding, and criminal histories on
|
||||
individuals arrested and fingerprinted for serious or significant offenses.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The NCIC is a computerized information system established by the FBI as a
|
||||
service to all criminal justice agencies- local, state and Federal. The
|
||||
information can be instantly retrieved over a vast communications network
|
||||
through the use of telecommunications equipment in criminal justice centers in
|
||||
various locations in the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico. Many times when
|
||||
monitoring the local or county police/sheriff departments a reference to a NCIC
|
||||
check is heard.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The FBI is involved in criminal investigations and foreign counterintelligence
|
||||
efforts. Most notably criminal investigations are those of bank robberies and
|
||||
kidnapping cases. The FBI can also investigate criminal activity associated
|
||||
with interstate transportation of stolen property, and the FBI can investigate
|
||||
graft and corruption cases of local government under certain circumstances.
|
||||
Department of Justice offices mat be found on some military installations as
|
||||
the FBI has jurisdiction when a crime involves Government property, or funds,
|
||||
or when only civilians are involved.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The FBI's responsibility with respect to foreign counterintelligence, within
|
||||
the United States, is to detect, lawfully counteract, and/or prevent espionage
|
||||
and other clandestine intelligence activities, sabotage, international
|
||||
terrorist activities, or assassinations conducted for or on behalf of foreign
|
||||
powers, organizations, or persons. The FBI also investigates murders,
|
||||
kidnappings, and assaults against foreign diplomatic officials while in the
|
||||
United States, as well as damage to property of foreign governments in the
|
||||
United States.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Organization</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The FBI is an agency within the U.S. Department of Justice, which is lead by
|
||||
the U.S. Attorney General. The head of the FBI is the Director who is appointed
|
||||
by the President with the advice and consent of the Senate. Assistant directors
|
||||
are the next level of command within the FBI. The FBI has ten assistant
|
||||
directors who are accountable to the Director for all matters within their
|
||||
sphere of operations.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The FBI has 59 field offices located in major cities throughout the United
|
||||
States and in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Each, with the exception of the New York
|
||||
Office which is headed by an Assistant Director, is under the direct
|
||||
supervision of a Special Agent In Charge (SAIC). The SAIC is supervised and
|
||||
receives directions from the FBI headquarters in Washington, D.C.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Each FBI Field Office has Resident Agencies which are local offices in some of
|
||||
the larger cities within the field offices jurisdiction. Refer to the FBI field
|
||||
office map for the sectioning of the field offices across the United States.

<p>The list of Field Offices and RA's is not 100% accurate, updates please. The
|
||||
number of RA's may differ from the call letter assignment block for a given
|
||||
F.O. because many RA's were closed and consolidated during the Carter and early
|
||||
Regan administrations. The call letters were assigned prior to their
|
||||
administrations.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The F.O. call letters will be the first is an assigned block for a given F.O.
|
||||
Example Cincinnati F.O. call is KQC 390 (or simply 390 as often will be heard)
|
||||
or Cleveland F.O. call is KEX 740 (740).</p>
|

<p>The following is a list of Resident Agencies for the primary coverage states of
|

the AOSC. The list is as of 1 October 1987. I will send a copy of the FBI Field
|
||||
Office and Resident Agency map for a SASE to those who desire a copy. A list of
|
||||
RA's may be obtained from the map for your local area. The map will be a copy
|
||||
of a copy, however it will be fairly legible. Note the two Ohio Field Office
|

<p>Chicago F.O. utilizes 8 banks, A through H. Channel banks C through H are not

confirmed to exact frequencies and usage. There are one way links in the upper

162, lower 164 and upper 165 MHz ranges. The one way links are often a control
|
||||
station to a repeater site utilizing a directional antenna. The one way links

may also be a point-to-point relay of communications from an outer fringe RA to
|

the F.O.</p>

<p>Chicago appears to configured similarly as several other F.O.'s in that up to

five other VHF frequencies can be active with 163.9875 simultaneously with the

<p>CINCINNATI FIELD OFFICE OPERATIONS</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The Cincinnati Field Office originally had nine Resident Agencies which were
|
||||
located in Athens, Chillicothe, Columbus, Dayton, Hamilton, Portsmouth,
|
||||
Springfield, Steubenville and Zanesville. The Springfield office is closed and
|
||||
I am not sure about the Zanesville R.A.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The CI F.O. and R.A.'s radio communication systems are DES (Digital Encryption
|
||||
Standard) capable and are utilized on a regular basis. CI appears to have a 32
|
||||
channel DES system in place as testing was monitored during 1988 and 1989. Most
|
||||
of their frequencies remained the same from the previous DES days. Note that
|
||||
the CI radios are VHF/UHF mobiles. Refer to the B channel series in the
|
||||
frequency list.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The signal numbers do not appear to be squad base (logically grouping by
|
||||
general agent function such as bank robbery squad or drug enforcement, or by
|
||||
R.A.'s), but rather a numeric numbering scheme starting with 1 and into the low
|
||||
100's.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The CI F.O./R.A. operations still need some work from our southern Ohio members
|
||||
as allot of holes and gaps remain. The following profile on CI was mainly made
|
||||
possible by the efforts of Bill Gillie, Tony Cono, Rick Poorman, another member
|
||||
who desires to named Mr. Anonymous, and this editor.</p>

<p>CLEVELAND FIELD OFFICE OPERATIONS</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The Cleveland Field Office originally had 10 Resident Agencies located in
|
||||
Akron, Canton, Elyria, Lima, Mansfield, Mentor, Painesville, Sandusky, Toledo
|
||||
and Youngstown. The Mentor R.A. currently is the only R.A. out of service in
|
||||
the CV division.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The CV F.O. And R.A.'s radio communication system is DES capable and utilized
|
||||
quite often in the DES mode. The CV F.O. has been in DES since the mid-eighties
|
||||
on a limited basis and a full system since early 1989. The CV system appears to
|
||||
be a 64 channel system which was implemented during the latter part of 1989.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The CV division utilizes a squad numbering scheme for assignment of signal
|
||||
numbers. There are still a few holes in the numbering, but for the most part it
|

is complete.</p>

<p>FBI COMMON FREQUENCY RANGES</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>I suggest searching the following frequency ranges for FBI radio activity. Note
|
||||
that in many areas across the U.S. the FBI have picked up many traditional
|
||||
non-FBI frequencies. Originally the Department of Justice had only 82 VHf
|
||||
frequencies assigned for ALL of its members, let alone just the FBI. The FBI
|
||||
originally had less than 40 of the 82 frequencies for their exclusive use.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>During the change over to DES nationwide, the FBI has received additional
|
||||
frequencies from other branches and departments who did not utilize or need
|
||||
them. In the NE region the FBI received 110 VHF frequencies - almost 300%
|
||||
increase in the number of frequencies available. The early days saw the FBI in
|
||||
the 163 MHz range for repeaters and the 167 MHz range for simplex operations.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Limit your search to 500 KHz at a time, certainly no more than a 1 MHz. The
|
||||
following are common ranges reported nationwide:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> 162.6125 - 162.7875 Repeater Inputs; Outputs; 12.5KHz steps
|
||||
163.825 - 163.9875 Repeater Outputs; 12.5KHz steps
|
||||
164.000 - 164.500 Repeater Outputs; 25KHz steps
|
||||
165.5125 - 165.900 Repeater Outputs; 12.5KHz steps
|
||||
167.100 - 167.7875 Repeater Inputs; Outputs; Simplex; 12.5KHz steps

|

|

<p>The FCC has established a nationwide radio frequency for stolen vehicle
|

tracking systems operating on the frequency of 173.025. The frequency was
|
||||
reported as a FBI assignment (wouldn't we like to see the exact frequency
|
||||
assignment chart?) Nationwide. Perhaps this frequency was used for wireless
|
||||
microphones or bugs, and if so perhaps others operate on nearby similar
|
||||
frequencies. Give it a listen and let us know.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The FBI Academy, located 40 miles south of Washington, is the host to the most
|
||||
crime ridden town in the United States - Hogan's Alley. Hogan's Alley is a
|
||||
"Hollywood" town with a motel, bank, post office, drug store, laundry and even
|
||||
a theater. It is used as a training ground for FBI agent trainees. Various
|
||||
scenarios are enacted under the careful eyes of supervisors. The trainees
|
||||
performance are evaluated with each exercise.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>One thing about Hogan's Alley - it has a 100% success rate in solving of cases,
|
||||
pretty impressive. Something that is not pretty impressive about the FBI is the
|
||||
starting pay agents earn. According to a 8 January 1990 U.S. News and World
|
||||
Report quirk the starting pay of a FBI agent is $26,261. Consider that an agent
|
||||
does not choice his assignment location, the agent could be placed in a very
|
||||
high cost of living area. Placement in certain cities such as NYC offer
|
||||
slightly more pay, however it is not enough for the work that they perform for
|
||||
all of us. Yet even worse is the pay for DEA agents $19,493 to $23,846.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The Congress is aware of these low salaries (after all they, the Congressmen
|
||||
and Senators literally took care of themselves) and will hopefully rectify the
|
||||
problem this year.

|

DO ASSASSINATIONS ALTER THE COURSE OF HISTORY?
|
||||
by Simon Freeman and Ronald Payne
|
||||
|
||||
India faces collapse with the violent death of Rajiv Gandhi--or
|
||||
does it? Simon Freeman and Ronald Payne analyse the importance of
|
||||
individuals in the march of events
|
||||
|
||||
They have paid their tributes, expressed their horror and
|
||||
pledged, as they always do when one of their number is murdered,
|
||||
that democracy will triumph in the face of terrorism. Now, in
|
||||
their weekend retreats, with their foreign affairs advisers and
|
||||
their top secret intelligence reports, world leaders will have to
|
||||
judge the true impact on India of the assassination of Rajiv
|
||||
Gandhi.
|
||||
|
||||
They will conclude, perhaps a little unhappily for them but
|
||||
fortunately for the rest of us, that Gandhi's death is unlikely
|
||||
to be more than a footnote, if a substantial one, in the history
|
||||
of his country. India will not disintegrate. There will be no
|
||||
civil war. The Indian military will not stage a coup. Pakistan
|
||||
will not launch the oft-predicted strike which would set the
|
||||
region ablaze.
|
||||
|
||||
Some Indians, perhaps many, may die over the next month in
|
||||
the kind of primitive ethnic and religious feuding which has
|
||||
always threatened to destroy the country. But, unless history is
|
||||
truly mischievous, India will muddle through and get on with the
|
||||
business of trying to survive.
|
||||
|
||||
It is rarely the personal stature of a statesman which
|
||||
decides how pivotal his contribution to history will be. History
|
||||
usually depends less on the drama of an assassination or the
|
||||
status of the victim than on more profound political, economic or
|
||||
demographic forces. In retrospect, it often appears that assassin
|
||||
and victim were inexorably drawn together to become the catalyst
|
||||
for inevitable change.
|
||||
|
||||
The most spectacular assassination in modern European
|
||||
history--the shooting of Archduke Francis Ferdinand and his wife
|
||||
at Sarajevo in 1914 by a Serbian student, Gavrilo Princip--was
|
||||
undoubtedly the immediate cause of the First World War. But few
|
||||
serious historians today subscribe to the theory that, had
|
||||
Princip not pressed the trigger that late June day in the cause
|
||||
of Serbian nationalism, the 19th-century order would have
|
||||
survived.
|
||||
|
||||
Dr Christopher Andrew, of Cambridge University, believes
|
||||
that the assassination merely set the timetable for war. He said:
|
||||
"Even if the Archduke had not been killed then there might have
|
||||
been a great war anyway." Other experts now talk not of Princip
|
||||
but of an explosive cocktail of nationalism straining within
|
||||
decrepit empires and of fatally dangerous alliances built by
|
||||
leaders from an earlier world.
|
||||
|
||||
It is possible to see Sarajevo as the climax to a period in
|
||||
which political murders became almost routine. The reference
|
||||
books on late 19th-century Europe are peppered with the names of
|
||||
hapless, long-forgotten politicians who were shot, bombed or
|
||||
stabbed because, so it was thought by the many bands of
|
||||
extremists, that was the only way to force change.
|
||||
|
||||
While there are no precise ways to assess the real
|
||||
importance of an assassination, historians like Andrew reckon
|
||||
that there are some general guidelines. In the stable, advanced
|
||||
democracies of today the murder of a top politician is unlikely
|
||||
to cause more than outrage and pain.
|
||||
|
||||
When the Irish Republican Army blew up the Grand Hotel in
|
||||
Brighton in 1984 in an attempt to kill Prime Minister Margaret
|
||||
Thatcher and most of her Cabinet, they hoped that there would be
|
||||
such disgust at the murders that the British public would force
|
||||
their leaders to pull out of Northern Ireland. But, even if
|
||||
Thatcher had died this would not have happened. Her death would
|
||||
probably have strengthened her successor's resolve not to bow to
|
||||
terrorism.
|
||||
|
||||
The IRA should have known this from the reaction to the
|
||||
killing five years earlier of Lord Louis Mountbatten,
|
||||
distinguished soldier, public servant and pillar of the British
|
||||
Establishment. The murder changed nothing in the province and
|
||||
only demonstrated, as if it was necessary, that determined
|
||||
terrorists often find ways to murder their chosen targets.
|
||||
Similarly, The Red Brigade anarchists who cold-bloodedly killed
|
||||
Aldo Moro, the Italian prime minister, in May, 1978, achieved
|
||||
nothing except to ensure that the Italian authorities would hunt
|
||||
them with even more determination. Nor did the killers of Swedish
|
||||
Prime Minister Olof Palme accomplish anything. The murder--still
|
||||
unsolved--drew the usual, but clearly genuine, shocked response
|
||||
from world leaders. But even at the time they were hardpressed to
|
||||
pretend that Palme's murder would fundamentally matter to Sweden.
|
||||
|
||||
The Third World, on the other hand, is more volatile.
|
||||
Sometimes, as in India, countries are an uneasy blend of
|
||||
feudalism and capitalism, dynastic authoritarianism and
|
||||
democracy. The demise of dictators often leaves a bloody vacuum.
|
||||
Yet even here, the assassination of a tyrant does not necessarily
|
||||
signal major upheaval. General Zia ul-Haque, who had ruled
|
||||
Pakistan since 1977, was blown up in his plane in the summer of
|
||||
1988. But, though he had long seemed crucial to the continuing
|
||||
stability of the country, his death seemed to be the fated climax
|
||||
to the era of military rule.
|
||||
|
||||
The murder of Egypt's President Sadat in October 1981 seemed
|
||||
then to herald some new dark age of internal repression and
|
||||
aggression towards Israel. But his successor, Hosni Mubarak,
|
||||
merely edged closer to the Arab world without returning to the
|
||||
pre-Sadat hostility towards Israel.
|
||||
|
||||
The killers of kings and dictators in other Arab countries
|
||||
have also discovered that they have murdered in vain. Iraq has
|
||||
endured a succession of brutal military dictators who have died
|
||||
as violently as they lived. The fact that Iraq has never
|
||||
experienced democracy is the result of economic and historical
|
||||
realities, not assassins' bullets. Saudi Arabia has also seen its
|
||||
share of high level killings yet, today, the House of Saud
|
||||
remains immovably in power.
|
||||
|
||||
But in the United States, where the idea of righteous
|
||||
violence is deeply embedded in the national consciousness, the
|
||||
grand assassination has been part of the political process for
|
||||
more than a century. Beginning with the murder of President
|
||||
Abraham Lincoln in 1865, the list of victims is a long and
|
||||
distinguished one. It includes most recently, President John F.
|
||||
Kennedy in 1963; his brother, Robert, heir apparent, shot in
|
||||
1968; Martin Luther King, civil rights campaigner and Nobel Peace
|
||||
Prize winner, gunned down the same year. Ronald Reagan could
|
||||
easily have followed in 1981 when he was shot and badly wounded.
|
||||
|
||||
John Kennedy's death now appears important for different
|
||||
reasons from those one might have expected at the time. It did
|
||||
not derail any of his vaunted civil rights or welfare programmes;
|
||||
rather his death guaranteed that his successor, Lyndon Johnson,
|
||||
would be able to push the Kennedy blueprint for a New America
|
||||
through Congress. Nor did it end the creeping US involvement in
|
||||
Vietnam.
|
||||
|
||||
But Kennedy has been immortalised by his assassin and the
|
||||
mythology of his unfulfilled promise will endure long after his
|
||||
real accomplishments are forgotten.
|
||||
|
||||
In a curious, perverse, sense he and his fellow-martyrs
|
||||
might live on as far more potent symbols of change than if they
|
||||
had survived into gentle retirement with their fudges revealed
|
||||
and their frailties exposed.
|
||||
|
||||
Why good leaders die and bad ones survive
|
||||
|
||||
Few names of hated tyrants appear on the roll-call of world
|
||||
leaders who fall to the assassin's bomb, knife or bullet, writes
|
||||
Ronald Payne. One of the curiosities of the trade in political
|
||||
murder is that those the world generally recognises as bad guys
|
||||
often live to a ripe old age or die quietly in their beds. Few
|
||||
who mourn the passing of Rajiv Gandhi would have shed so many
|
||||
tears had President Saddam Hussein been blown to pieces in Iraq.
|
||||
|
||||
There was a time only a few years ago when Americans and
|
||||
Europeans would have celebrated the violent demise of President
|
||||
Muammar Gaddafi. Both the Libyan leader and Hussein live on, as
|
||||
do Idi Amin of Uganda, or Fidel Castro, whom the American Central
|
||||
Intelligence Agency plotted so imaginatively and ineffectually to
|
||||
remove.
|
||||
|
||||
When academics play the game of what might have been, the
|
||||
consequences of assassinating such monstres sacres as Stalin and
|
||||
Hitler arise.
|
||||
|
||||
When the Russian dictator died suddenly of natural causes,
|
||||
the whole Soviet Union was paralysed because no leader dared
|
||||
claim the right to succeed him. That in itself suggests what
|
||||
might have happened had Stalin been shot unexpectedly at a more
|
||||
critical moment.
|
||||
|
||||
The timing of a political murder is crucial. Had Adolf
|
||||
Hitler been assassinated before he achieved full power or before
|
||||
his invasion of the Soviet Union, the history of Germany, and
|
||||
indeed of Europe, would have been very different.
|
||||
|
||||
Fascinating though such intellectual exercises are, it seems
|
||||
that as a rule it is the decent, the innocent and the relatively
|
||||
harmless who perish as assassins' victims.
|
||||
|
||||
The reason may not be far to seek. Tyrants watch their backs
|
||||
pretty carefully. The secret police are ever active. It is easier
|
||||
to kill statesmen in democracies where the rule of law prevails
|
||||
and the sad truth is that leaders in those countries which
|
||||
exercise authority through voting rather than shooting are more
|
||||
at risk than Middle East tyrants.
|
||||
|
||||
A further reason for the survival of the hated monster
|
||||
figure might be that Western intelligence services have been
|
||||
forbidden to go in for execution. The CIA and the British secret
|
||||
intelligence service are now out of the killing business. Even
|
||||
the KGB's assassination specialists seem to have been stood down.
|
||||
|
||||
In any case the Kremlin was hardly keen on the murder of
|
||||
ruling statesmen even in the bad old days. Soviet leaders
|
||||
understood the realities of power well enough to know that such
|
||||
acts were unlikely to further their cause.

CONSPIRACY THEORIES: DOUBTS REFUSE TO DIE
|
||||
by Bob Dudney
|
||||
Special to the Times Herald
|
||||
|
||||
Editor's Note: Bob Dudney, a former reporter for the Dallas Times
|
||||
Herald, has written hundreds of articles about the investigation
|
||||
of President Kennedy's assassination. He has covered
|
||||
congressional inquiries on the subject, has interviewed dozens of
|
||||
people connected with it, and has examined thousands of
|
||||
government documents.
|
||||
|
||||
The shots fired in Dealey Plaza on a sunny Dallas day 20
|
||||
years ago still reverberate in a bizarre way: the belief that
|
||||
President John F. Kennedy's assassination resulted from a
|
||||
conspiracy.
|
||||
|
||||
There is a deep, almost theological assumption by some
|
||||
Americans that the President was the victim of conspirators who
|
||||
still roam at large. The conclusion is strange because there is
|
||||
no solid evidence to support it--and significant reasons to
|
||||
believe it is false.
|
||||
|
||||
There is no denying the difficulty of accepting the Warren
|
||||
Commission's verdict on the events of Nov. 22, 1963--that a
|
||||
down-and-out, 24-year-old ex-Marine named Lee Harvey Oswald, with
|
||||
no outside assistance, murdered the most glamorous, powerful man
|
||||
in the world at the time.
|
||||
|
||||
But no matter how strong the unwillingness to believe, the
|
||||
evidence in the case demonstrates beyond a reasonable doubt that
|
||||
there was no plot. Undermining the scores of conspiracy theories
|
||||
that have cropped up over the years are three crucial factors:
|
||||
|
||||
- The scientific, eyewitness and medical data establishing
|
||||
that Oswald shot Kennedy.
|
||||
|
||||
- The absence of uncontroverted evidence linking Oswald to
|
||||
other conspirators.
|
||||
|
||||
- The lack of evidence to suggest that Oswald was
|
||||
unwittingly manipulated by others.
|
||||
|
||||
So long as these elements remain unshaken, claims that a
|
||||
sinister plot was afoot that November day will amount to nothing
|
||||
more than speculation.
|
||||
|
||||
Nevertheless, theories about the active involvement of
|
||||
others in the assassination thrive and multiply. Their
|
||||
proponents--some skilled and some not, some sincere and some not
|
||||
--have produced dozens of books, films and articles that purport
|
||||
to reveal the "full" treachery of events in Dallas two decades
|
||||
ago.
|
||||
|
||||
In fact, from the volume and variety of conspiracy theories,
|
||||
one might conclude that the possibility of a conspiracy had never
|
||||
been officially probed. The theories discount thousands of
|
||||
documents and millions of investigative man-hours devoted to that
|
||||
question by the Warren panel, the FBI and the CIA in 1963 and
|
||||
1964; the Rockefeller Commission in 1975; the Senate Select
|
||||
Committee on Intelligence in 1975 and the House Committee on
|
||||
Assassinations in 1977-1978.
|
||||
|
||||
The list of "suspects" the theories implicate is extensive.
|
||||
Among them: The Soviet KGB; anti-Soviet exiles; Fidel Castro;
|
||||
pro-Castro Cubans in the United States; anti-Castro Cubans;
|
||||
loyalists of slain South Vietnamese leader Ngo Dinh Diem; right
|
||||
wing fanatics; left wing Marxists; the Mafia; rogue Texas oilmen;
|
||||
labor unions; Southern white racists; the Dallas Police
|
||||
Department; the CIA; the FBI; the Secret Service; the Chinese
|
||||
communists; reactionary Army officers; and Jewish extremists.
|
||||
|
||||
But it is not enough to demonstrate that some group stood to
|
||||
benefit from the murder. Theorists must establish participation
|
||||
of two or more people in the murder. This they have not done.
|
||||
|
||||
Each theory alters the nature of Oswald's role in the death,
|
||||
but the possible changes are necessarily limited. The principle
|
||||
theories are:
|
||||
|
||||
Oswald is innocent: Adherents of this contention maintain
|
||||
that law enforcement officials--cynically or through honest
|
||||
error--settled on Oswald as the assassin even though there was no
|
||||
reliable evidence against him. They say Oswald could have
|
||||
exonerated himself at a trial had he not been killed by Dallas
|
||||
nightclub owner Jack Ruby.
|
||||
|
||||
Challenging this theory is an abundance of evidence.
|
||||
Scientific testing and physical evidence found at the scene show
|
||||
that shots were fired at Kennedy's limousine from a sixth-floor
|
||||
window of the Texas School Book Depository building.
|
||||
|
||||
Oswald worked in the building at Elm and Houston. He was
|
||||
seen leaving it shortly after the shooting. Crates were found
|
||||
stacked by the sixth-floor window as an apparent gun brace.
|
||||
Oswald's fingerprints were on the crates. The morning of the
|
||||
assassination, Oswald was seen carrying a long, paper-wrapped
|
||||
object into the building. Wrapping paper found near the window
|
||||
bore Oswald's fingerprints.
|
||||
|
||||
A rifle was found hidden between boxes in the building. A
|
||||
bullet and the bullet fragments removed from Kennedy, Connally
|
||||
and the limousine ballistically matched the rifle. Oswald's palm
|
||||
print was found on the rifle. The rifle, purchased from a Chicago
|
||||
mail order house, had been shipped to a Dallas post office box
|
||||
rented by Oswald. A photograph showed Oswald holding a rifle
|
||||
identical to the one found.
|
||||
|
||||
Proponents of this theory retort that all of the evidence
|
||||
was fabricated and put credence in Oswald's post-arrest
|
||||
declaration that he hadn't killed anyone.
|
||||
|
||||
But claims that the incriminating rifle photo was doctored--
|
||||
with Oswald's head superimposed over another man's body--were
|
||||
dispelled by Marina Oswald's confirmation that she took the
|
||||
picture. And claims that Oswald's rifle was planted in the room
|
||||
after the assassination were refuted by ballistic tests that
|
||||
showed it fired the deadly shots.
|
||||
|
||||
Given the problems with claims of planted evidence, some
|
||||
theorists have argued that there must have been a "planted
|
||||
Oswald," or Oswald impersonator on the scene. This contention,
|
||||
however, has been difficult to reconcile with the Oswald
|
||||
fingerprints and palmprints found on the evidence.
|
||||
|
||||
Two years ago, conspiracy theorists, successfully pressed
|
||||
for the opening of Oswald's grave to show it contained an
|
||||
imposter--probably a Soviet agent. Subsequent examination,
|
||||
however, determined the body was the "real" Lee Harvey Oswald.
|
||||
|
||||
Oswald had accomplices: Faced with the weight of evidence
|
||||
indicating Oswald's guilt, quite a few conspiracy theories have
|
||||
contended he was only one of those involved.
|
||||
|
||||
Some theories assert that a person or persons helped put
|
||||
Oswald in position to shoot the President. They leave unexplained
|
||||
why Oswald would need such help. As an employee of the book
|
||||
depository, he had easy access to the building. After the
|
||||
shooting, according to witnesses' testimony, he sought no help in
|
||||
fleeing and left downtown Dallas by city bus and then a taxi.
|
||||
|
||||
Moreover, it would seem unlikely that accomplices could have
|
||||
helped get Oswald a job that put him on the motorcycle route.
|
||||
Oswald got his job at the depository on Oct. 15. White House
|
||||
planning for the President's motorcade route did not begin until
|
||||
Nov. 4, and the map of the route was not published until Nov. 19.
|
||||
Somewhat more credible is the contention others provided
|
||||
secret financing, planning, direction or encouragement for the
|
||||
murder that Oswald carried out.
|
||||
|
||||
In this scenario, the chief suspect over the years has been
|
||||
the Soviet Union. After all, Oswald defected to Russia in 1959.
|
||||
He married a Russian woman, Marina Prusakova, in 1961. He was a
|
||||
vociferous Marxist. Even after he returned to the United States
|
||||
in June 1962, Oswald had several fleeting contacts with Soviet
|
||||
diplomats.
|
||||
|
||||
However, no evidence of Soviet complicity has been found.
|
||||
Investigators who combed Oswald's effects discovered no
|
||||
unexplained funds, no code books, no messages--nothing to suggest
|
||||
a Soviet hand in Oswald's actions. Also, had Oswald been
|
||||
recruited as a Soviet agent, the Russians would not have been
|
||||
likely to allow him to defect, as he did--thereby exposing his
|
||||
relationship with them.
|
||||
|
||||
The other top suspect has been Cuba. Oswald admired Fidel
|
||||
Castro; he was a member of the Fair Play for Cuba Committee in
|
||||
the United States; he visited the Cuban embassy in Mexico City a
|
||||
few weeks before the assassination, seeking a travel visa to that
|
||||
country. Because the CIA was backing assassination plots against
|
||||
Castro at the time, some speculate that Castro may have
|
||||
retaliated through Oswald.
|
||||
|
||||
But, as with the theory of Soviet involvement, there is no
|
||||
evidence. At one point, there did appear to be some. A young
|
||||
Central American informant told U.S. authorities he saw Oswald in
|
||||
the Cuban embassy, talking to two other men, one of whom was
|
||||
conversing in Spanish. Later, he said, Oswald supposedly received
|
||||
$6,500 to kill an important person. Under questioning, however,
|
||||
the informant admitted he had never seen Oswald and had
|
||||
fabricated the transaction, wishing to stir up American hatred
|
||||
for Castro's Cuba. Subsequently, he retracted his retraction.
|
||||
Finally, he failed a lie-detector test. Anyway, Oswald did not
|
||||
speak Spanish.
|
||||
|
||||
Another account suggesting possible Cuban involvement was
|
||||
provided by a Cuban exile who testified before the Warren
|
||||
commission. She said two Hispanic men and an Anglo man they
|
||||
identified as "Leon Oswald" came to her Dallas apartment 28 days
|
||||
before the assassination. She said they spoke vaguely of Cuban
|
||||
revolutionary plans before she turned them away. She identified
|
||||
Oswald in television film as the man she had seen, but federal
|
||||
investigators said they do not believe it was him. They said they
|
||||
believe that at that time, Oswald was traveling from his New
|
||||
Orleans home to Mexico in his quest for a Cuban entry visa.
|
||||
|
||||
The most publicized theories involving Oswald accomplices
|
||||
are those that have featured other gunmen.
|
||||
|
||||
These various versions have assassins firing from other
|
||||
windows in the depository building; from the Dal-Tex building;
|
||||
from sewer drains, a grassy knoll near Dealey Plaza, the railroad
|
||||
bridge over Elm, Main and Commerce streets and the Dallas County
|
||||
Courthouse roof; and firing with silencers or automatic weapons.
|
||||
|
||||
The arguments surrounding these claims:
|
||||
|
||||
- One-man, one-bullet: The first shot that wounded Kennedy
|
||||
in the neck did not also hit John Connally, as the Warren
|
||||
Commission concluded. Rather they were struck by individual
|
||||
bullets simultaneously, requiring that there be two shooters. A
|
||||
team of experts, including a National Aeronautics and Space
|
||||
Administration engineer, conducted an exhaustive study of this
|
||||
question in 1978. The panel's conclusion: It is not only
|
||||
possible, but almost certain that Kennedy and Connally were hit
|
||||
by the same bullet.
|
||||
|
||||
- Filmed accomplices: Photographs of Dealey Plaza taken at
|
||||
the time of the assassination show a dim form behind a wall on a
|
||||
grassy knoll to the right and in front of the presidential
|
||||
limousine. However, investigators found no spent cartridges,
|
||||
weapons or footprints in this area. A panel of photography
|
||||
experts concluded in 1978 that the images on the film were
|
||||
shadows.
|
||||
|
||||
Films and photos also show a man in Dealey Plaza opening and
|
||||
closing a black umbrella. Conspiracy theories suggest he was
|
||||
signaling gunmen or that some weapon was hidden in the umbrella.
|
||||
But at a hearing of the House Assassinations Committee in 1978, a
|
||||
mild-mannered Dallas insurance worker identified himself as the
|
||||
mysterious "umbrella man" and said he was only trying to harass
|
||||
Kennedy.
|
||||
|
||||
- Head movement: The famous Zapruder film of the
|
||||
assassination clearly shows President Kennedy's head lurching
|
||||
backward when it was struck by the fatal gunshot. If the shot had
|
||||
come from behind, conspiracy theorists reason, the impact would
|
||||
have driven the President's head forward. Nonetheless, a panel of
|
||||
medical experts concluded in 1978 that Kennedy's head wounds were
|
||||
caused by a shot from the rear. Moreover, a panel of
|
||||
wound-ballistics scientists concluded that the backward motion
|
||||
was caused by the sudden tightening of the President's neck
|
||||
muscles.
|
||||
|
||||
- Tape-recorded sounds: Sound transmitted through the
|
||||
microphone of a motorcycle patrolman in the motorcade, and
|
||||
recorded at Dallas police headquarters, shows four noise
|
||||
"spikes." At the behest of the House Assassinations Committee in
|
||||
1978, three acoustical experts conducted three test gunshot
|
||||
firings in Dealey Plaza, compared the sounds and concluded it was
|
||||
95 percent certain that four shots had been fired. The Warren
|
||||
Commission had concluded that no more than three shots had been
|
||||
fired from the window. The source of the previously unknown one,
|
||||
the acoustical experts said, was the grassy knoll area.
|
||||
|
||||
The finding was the first scientific evidence supporting a
|
||||
conspiracy theory and stirred an uproar. But it, too, was later
|
||||
discounted. Twelve experts assembled by the National Research
|
||||
Council reviewed the tapes and concluded the "spikes" were
|
||||
actually recorded about a minute after the assassination.
|
||||
|
||||
The Assassinations Committee also grappled futily with the
|
||||
prospect of a likely colleague for Oswald. "The question is with
|
||||
who," said one member of the now-defunct committee. "If there's a
|
||||
conspirator, then who could it have been? We asked ourselves over
|
||||
and over: What associates did Oswald have, where was there
|
||||
evidence of conspiracy? We found none."
|
||||
|
||||
Oswald was manipulated: These theories suggest that Oswald,
|
||||
and perhaps other operatives, were unknowingly influenced in
|
||||
their actions.
|
||||
|
||||
There can be only one reasonable candidate to mastermind
|
||||
such a project--the KGB. It would have been the only organization
|
||||
with the scientific means and the extended access to Oswald. Even
|
||||
some Warren Commission lawyers and CIA members briefly toyed with
|
||||
the possibility. Because Oswald spent some time in a Soviet
|
||||
hospital while residing in Russia, there was the suspicion he
|
||||
might have been brainwashed.
|
||||
|
||||
Once again, the problem is that there is no evidence to
|
||||
suggest Oswald was brainwashed. Moreover, the CIA believes KGB
|
||||
"mind conditioning" techniques at the time were primitive.
|
||||
|
||||
Surely, it is impossible to rule out the prospect of a
|
||||
conspiracy in the assassination. The Warren Commission itself did
|
||||
not do so. "Because of the difficulty of providing negatives to a
|
||||
certainty," the panel said, proving there was no conspiracy
|
||||
"cannot be established categorically." However, the panel said,
|
||||
"if there is any such evidence it has been beyond the reach of
|
||||
all the investigative agencies and resources of the United
|
||||
States."
|
||||
|
||||
Twenty years later, that is still the case.

THE DAY JOHN KENNEDY DIED
|
||||
Sun cleared dawn's drizzle, but gloom clouded Dallas
|
||||
by Bryan Woolley
|
||||
Staff Writer
|
||||
|
||||
The valet walked past the Secret Service guard and entered
|
||||
Suite 850 of Fort Worth's Texas Hotel. He knocked on the door of
|
||||
the master bedroom. It was 7:30 a.m. "Mr. President," he said,
|
||||
"it's raining out."
|
||||
|
||||
President John F. Kennedy, coming out of sleep, replied,
|
||||
"That's too bad."
|
||||
|
||||
While he was dressing, he heard the murmur of the crowd
|
||||
outside and went to the window. Below him, 5,000 people were
|
||||
standing patiently in the soft drizzle, some wearing raincoats,
|
||||
some holding umbrellas, most simply ignoring the weather. They
|
||||
were office and factory workers. They had begun gathering before
|
||||
dawn to hear the speech the President would make in the parking
|
||||
lot where they stood. Mounted police officers wearing yellow
|
||||
slickers moved among them. "Gosh, look at the crowd!" the
|
||||
President said to his wife. "Just look! Isn't that terrific."
|
||||
|
||||
In the lobby, he was joined by Vice President Lyndon
|
||||
Johnson, Gov. John Connally, Sen. Ralph Yarborough, several
|
||||
members of Congress and the president of the Fort Worth Chamber
|
||||
of Commerce. They crossed Eighth Street and plunged into the
|
||||
crowd, shaking hands, smiling. They mounted the truck that was to
|
||||
serve as the speaker's platform. Kennedy grabbed the microphone
|
||||
and shouted: "There are no faint hearts in Fort Worth!"
|
||||
|
||||
The crowd cheered. Somebody yelled, "Where's Jackie?"
|
||||
|
||||
Kennedy pointed toward his eighth-floor window. "Mrs.
|
||||
Kennedy is organizing herself," he replied. "It takes her a
|
||||
little longer, but, of course, she looks better than we do when
|
||||
she does it."
|
||||
|
||||
Fort Worth was the third stop on the President's five-city
|
||||
Texas tour. He had ridden through Houston and San Antonio like a
|
||||
triumphant emperor, and Fort Worth had stayed up past midnight to
|
||||
welcome the handsome 46-year-old President and his beautiful
|
||||
34-year-old wife, lining their route from Carswell Air Force base
|
||||
to the hotel.
|
||||
|
||||
After an informal speech in the parking lot, he would go to
|
||||
the hotel, deliver a breakfast speech, fly from Carswell to Love
|
||||
Field, ride in a motorcade through Dallas, deliver a speech at a
|
||||
$100-a-plate luncheon at the Dallas Trade Mart, fly to Austin for
|
||||
a banquet and a reception at the Governor's Mansion, and then go
|
||||
to the LBJ ranch for a weekend of rest.
|
||||
|
||||
Back inside the Texas Hotel, Kennedy accepted the ceremonial
|
||||
cowboy hat from his hosts, but refused to wear it for
|
||||
photographers and TV cameramen. He would model it later, he said,
|
||||
at the White House. His breakfast speech was the standard
|
||||
fence-mending one-- about the greatness of Texas and Fort Worth
|
||||
and the Democratic Party--and it drew a thunderous ovation.
|
||||
|
||||
The President and the first lady retired to Suite 850 to
|
||||
prepare for the flight to Dallas. Kennedy placed a call to former
|
||||
Vice President John Nance "Cactus Jack" Garner in Uvalde, Texas,
|
||||
to wish him a happy 95th birthday, and an aide showed him a
|
||||
black-bordered full-page ad with a sardonic headline in The
|
||||
Dallas Morning News. "Welcome Mr. Kennedy to Dallas," it read. In
|
||||
13 rhetorical questions, something called the "American
|
||||
Fact-Finding Committee" accused the administration of selling out
|
||||
the world to communism.
|
||||
|
||||
"Oh, you know, we're heading into nut country today," the
|
||||
President said. Mrs. Kennedy later told author William Manchester
|
||||
that he paced the floor and then stopped in front of her. "You
|
||||
know, last night would have been a hell of a night to assassinate
|
||||
a president," he said. "There was the rain and the night, and we
|
||||
were all getting jostled. Suppose a man had a pistol in a
|
||||
briefcase." He pointed a finger at the wall and pretended to fire
|
||||
two shots.
|
||||
|
||||
Not many in the presidential party were looking forward to
|
||||
Dallas. Several Texans--some from Dallas--had warned the
|
||||
President not to include Dallas on his Texas tour, that an ugly
|
||||
incident was likely to occur there. But Kennedy insisted that the
|
||||
state's second-largest city be placed on the itinerary.
|
||||
|
||||
So the preparations had been made. Dallas civic leaders had
|
||||
launched a public relations campaign to try to ensure a friendly
|
||||
turnout for the President.
|
||||
|
||||
Seven hundred law officers--city police officers and
|
||||
firefighters, sheriff's deputies, Texas Rangers and state highway
|
||||
patrol officers--had been assembled to keep order. About the time
|
||||
that John Kennedy was waking up, Dallas Police Chief Jesse Curry
|
||||
had gone on TV to warn that his officers would take "immediate
|
||||
action to block any improper conduct." If the police were
|
||||
inadequate, he said, even citizen's arrests were authorized.
|
||||
|
||||
Others were preparing, too, in the early morning. Waiters
|
||||
were setting the places for the Trade Mart luncheon. A warehouse
|
||||
worker named Lee Harvey Oswald sneaked a rifle and a telescopic
|
||||
sight into the Texas School Book Depository. Because of forecasts
|
||||
showing that the rain probably would be past Dallas by the time
|
||||
the presidential party arrived, a Kennedy aide told the Secret
|
||||
Service not to put the bubble-top on the big blue limousine in
|
||||
which the President and Mrs. Kennedy would ride.
|
||||
|
||||
Air Force One had barely left the runway at Carswell before
|
||||
it began its descent toward Love Field. The flight took only 13
|
||||
minutes. The big plane touched down at 11:38 a.m. Police armed
|
||||
with rifles stood along the roof of the terminal building. A
|
||||
large crowd waited beyond a chain-link fence. Many in the crowd
|
||||
were jumping, screaming, waving placards: "We Love Jack," "Hooray
|
||||
for JFK." Others were less friendly. They held placards, too:
|
||||
"Help Kennedy Stamp Out Democracy," "In 1964 Goldwater and
|
||||
Freedom," "Yankees Go Home And Take Your Equals With You." They
|
||||
booed and hissed when the President and first lady emerged from
|
||||
the plane, smiled, waved and descended the stairs of Air Force
|
||||
One.
|
||||
|
||||
For the fourth time in 24 hours, Lyndon and Lady Bird
|
||||
Johnson were waiting to welcome the Kennedys to a Texas city. The
|
||||
presidential couple was introduced to the 12-man official
|
||||
welcoming committee. Mrs. Earle Cabell, wife of the Dallas mayor,
|
||||
presented Mrs. Kennedy with a bouquet of red roses. Then Kennedy
|
||||
broke from the official cluster and moved along the chain-link
|
||||
fence, smiling, shaking hands; letting people touch him.
|
||||
|
||||
At 11:55, two motorcycle police officers led the motorcade
|
||||
out of Love Field and turned left on Mockingbird Lane. Police
|
||||
Chief Curry drove the lead car. With him rode Dallas County
|
||||
Sheriff Bill Decker and two Secret Service agents. Then came
|
||||
three more motorcycles. Then the blue limousine with two Secret
|
||||
Service agents in the front, John and Nellie Connally in the jump
|
||||
seats and the Kennedys in the back seat. Two motorcycles flanked
|
||||
the car on each side. Next was another convertible, full of
|
||||
Kennedy aides and Secret Service agents, and four more agents
|
||||
standing on its running boards.
|
||||
|
||||
Then came the vice presidential convertible, carrying two
|
||||
Secret Service agents, the Johnsons and Yarborough. A Texas
|
||||
highway patrol officer and four Secret Service agents rode in the
|
||||
next car. A press pool car, a press bus, convertibles bearing
|
||||
photographers, and cars carrying lesser dignitaries completed the
|
||||
procession.
|
||||
|
||||
The motorcade would move through a sizable portion of
|
||||
Dallas--along Mockingbird to Lemmon Avenue, right on Lemmon to
|
||||
Turtle Creek Boulevard, along Turtle Creek and Cedar Springs Road
|
||||
to Harwood Street, down Harwood to Main Street, where, at City
|
||||
Hall, it would turn right and move westward along Main through
|
||||
the downtown business district.
|
||||
|
||||
At the west end of downtown, it would turn right onto
|
||||
Houston Street and then immediately left onto Elm Street and move
|
||||
through the Triple Underpass. A few yards beyond the underpass,
|
||||
it would turn right again onto Stemmons Expressway and move to
|
||||
the Trade Mart at the intersection of Stemmons and Harry Hines
|
||||
Boulevard. After the President's speech, it would proceed out
|
||||
Harry Hines to Mockingbird, turn right, and return to Love Field.
|
||||
The sidewalk crowds were sparse at first. A few people in
|
||||
the factories and offices along Mockingbird came out to have a
|
||||
look. The sun was bright now, and Mrs. Kennedy was regretting
|
||||
that she was wearing the pink wool suit. She had expected woolen
|
||||
weather. It was, after all, late November. She put on sunglasses,
|
||||
but her husband told her to take them off. The people wanted to
|
||||
see her, he said.
|
||||
|
||||
At the corner of Lemmon and Lomo Alto, a group of children
|
||||
held a long banner reading, "Please Stop and Shake Our Hands."
|
||||
Kennedy ordered his driver to stop. He got out and shook their
|
||||
hands. Farther along, he ordered another stop and got out to
|
||||
greet a group of nuns. At Lee Park on Turtle Creek, the crowd
|
||||
began to thicken. And at Harwood and Live Oak, still two blocks
|
||||
from the turn onto Main, the people in the motorcade heard the
|
||||
downtown crowd murmuring like a distant tide.
|
||||
|
||||
When the caravan made the turn, it faced pandemonium. People
|
||||
were standing 10 and 12 deep on the sidewalks. Red, white and
|
||||
blue bunting fluttered from the buildings. People leaned out
|
||||
windows, waving and screaming. There were no picket signs, no
|
||||
sour faces. The feared Dallas crowd was friendly--even adoring.
|
||||
The nuts had stayed home. It was 12:21 p.m.
|
||||
|
||||
At the Trade Mart, the luncheon guests were showing their
|
||||
tickets to the door guards and filing to their seats. The huge
|
||||
building was surrounded by Dallas and Texas police, standing at
|
||||
parade rest, holding riot sticks, glaring at a handful of
|
||||
protesters. Inside the atrium hall, parakeets flew freely from
|
||||
tree to tree. A fountain splashed. An organist was practicing
|
||||
"Hail to the Chief." Dozens of yellow roses adorned the head
|
||||
table. The presidential seal had been mounted on the rostrum.
|
||||
|
||||
As the motorcade neared Houston Street, the size of the
|
||||
crowd diminished, but the cheers and applause were still hearty.
|
||||
Nellie Connally turned in her seat and said, "You can't say
|
||||
Dallas doesn't love you, Mr. President."
|
||||
|
||||
Kennedy replied, "No, you can't."
|
||||
|
||||
Workers from the Texas School Book Depository, the Dal-Tex
|
||||
Building and the Dallas County buildings lined the sidewalks at
|
||||
Houston and Elm as the head of the motorcade turned toward the
|
||||
Triple Underpass. Others stood on the grass of Dealey Plaza. Many
|
||||
had brought their children to see the President. Several
|
||||
spectators noticed a man standing very still in a sixth-floor
|
||||
corner window of the depository. One man saw the rifle he was
|
||||
holding and assumed he was a Secret Service agent.
|
||||
|
||||
As the blue limousine made the sharp left turn from Houston
|
||||
onto Elm, the Hertz rental car time-and-temperature sign on the
|
||||
roof of the depository red 12:30. A Secret Service man in the
|
||||
motorcade radioed the Trade Mart: "Halfback to Base. Five minutes
|
||||
to destination." He wrote in his shift log: "12:35 p.m. President
|
||||
Kennedy arrived at Trade Mart."
|
||||
|
||||
Some thought the noises were firecrackers. Others thought a
|
||||
motorcycle was backfiring. Some recognized them as rifle shots.
|
||||
Pigeons flew from the roof of the depository. Kennedy lurched
|
||||
forward and grabbed his neck.
|
||||
|
||||
Sen. Yarborough, in the vice president's car, cried, "My
|
||||
God! They've shot the President!" Secret Service agent Rufus
|
||||
Youngblood climbed from the front seat to the back, threw Johnson
|
||||
to the floorboard and covered him with his own body.
|
||||
|
||||
In the blue limousine, Gov. Connally had been hit, too. He
|
||||
pitched forward and fell toward his wife. "No, no, no, no, no!"
|
||||
he screamed.
|
||||
|
||||
Then another shot. The President's head exploded. Blood
|
||||
spattered the occupants of the blue car. The first lady, in
|
||||
shock, tried to climb out over the trunk. A Secret Service agent
|
||||
pushed her back. The car slowed and then lurched out of the
|
||||
motorcade line and sped past the Triple Underpass, with Chief
|
||||
Curry's car and the Secret Service car in pursuit.
|
||||
|
||||
UPI White House correspondent Merriman Smith was sitting in
|
||||
the middle of the front seat of the press pool car. He grabbed
|
||||
the mobile phone. He called the wire service's Dallas bureau and
|
||||
dictated the first bulletin: "Three shots were fired at President
|
||||
Kennedy's motorcade in downtown Dallas."
|
||||
|
||||
The cheers of greeting in Dealey Plaza rose to screams of
|
||||
horror and fear. "They killed him! They killed him! They killed
|
||||
him!" Parents grabbed children and ran. Men and women lay
|
||||
prostrate on the grass and sidewalks, as if dead. The motorcade
|
||||
was disintegrating, the cars veering hither and yon, trying to
|
||||
get through the crowd and follow the limousine. Helmeted police
|
||||
officers leaped from motorcycles, pulled guns, looked wildly
|
||||
about. The Hertz clock still read 12:30.
|
||||
|
||||
The staff at Parkland Memorial Hospital had only five
|
||||
minutes notice of the massive emergency rushing upon them, and
|
||||
many thought the message was a joke. When the blue car arrived,
|
||||
they weren't ready. No one was waiting at the emergency entrance.
|
||||
A Secret Service agent dashed inside to order stretchers.
|
||||
|
||||
Connally--whose wounds were serious but not fatal--was
|
||||
wheeled to Trauma Room No. 2, Kennedy to Trauma Room No. 1. Teams
|
||||
of surgeons and nurses went to work. The Secret Service regrouped
|
||||
around the Johnsons and hustled them to seclusion in another part
|
||||
of the hospital. Reporters dashed around the halls and offices,
|
||||
searching for phones. Parkland patients heard the news and rushed
|
||||
to have a look.
|
||||
|
||||
"Gentlemen," a weeping Yarborough told reporters, "this has
|
||||
been a deed of horror. Excalibur has sunk beneath the waves."
|
||||
Mrs. Kennedy insisted on being in the trauma room with her
|
||||
husband. A nurse protested, but she was admitted.
|
||||
|
||||
Outside, more of the motorcade vehicles were arriving. Their
|
||||
passengers tumbled out and stared in horror at the blood-soaked
|
||||
convertible.
|
||||
|
||||
At 1 p.m., Dr. Kemp Clark, the senior physician working on
|
||||
the President, pronounced him dead. A priest administered last
|
||||
rites. At 1:13, the news was carried to the vice president. At
|
||||
1:26, the Secret Service, fearing the assassination was part of a
|
||||
massive plot against the government, spirited the Johnsons away
|
||||
to unmarked cars and sped to Love Field. They boarded Air Force
|
||||
One at 1:33, while Kennedy press aide Malcolm Kilduff was
|
||||
announcing the President's death to the press.
|
||||
|
||||
Police were still combing the Dealey Plaza area for
|
||||
Kennedy's murderer. Indeed, only a minute after the fatal shot
|
||||
was fired, Marrion Baker, a Dallas motorcycle officer, had
|
||||
pointed his pistol at Lee Harvey Oswald. Baker had been riding by
|
||||
the Texas School Book Depository when the killing occurred, and
|
||||
he jumped off his motorcycle and dashed inside with Roy Truly,
|
||||
the building's superintendent. They encountered Oswald in the
|
||||
second-floor lunchroom. Baker drew his gun. "Do you know this
|
||||
man?" he asked Truly. "Does he work here?" Truly said he did, and
|
||||
Baker let him go. A minute later, Oswald walked out the front
|
||||
door of the depository, where he encountered NBC reporter Robert
|
||||
MacNeil, who was looking for a phone. Oswald told him he could
|
||||
find one inside. Five minutes later, police sealed off the door.
|
||||
|
||||
At 12:44, Oswald boarded a bus at Elm and Murphy streets,
|
||||
seven blocks from the depository, but got off a few minutes later
|
||||
when the bus was caught in a traffic snarl. By 12:45, Dallas
|
||||
police had questioned the witness who had seen the man standing
|
||||
in the depository window with the rifle and had broadcast his
|
||||
description from a radio car in front of the depository. Two
|
||||
minutes later, Oswald caught a taxicab at the Greyhound bus
|
||||
station and rode to Beckley and Neely, a corner near his Oak
|
||||
Cliff rooming house. He went to his room, got a pistol and left
|
||||
again.
|
||||
|
||||
Meanwhile, Roy Truly had drawn up a list of depository
|
||||
employees and told police that Oswald was missing. At 1:12,
|
||||
sheriff's deputies found three empty cartridge cases near the
|
||||
sixth floor corner window. Ten minutes later, they would find the
|
||||
rifle, hidden between boxes of textbooks in the room.
|
||||
|
||||
At 1:15, Dallas officer J.D. Tippett was cruising by a drug
|
||||
store at 10th and Patton, less than a mile from the Oak Cliff
|
||||
rooming house, and spotted Oswald walking along the sidewalk.
|
||||
Tippett, for reasons never determined, pulled over and stopped
|
||||
him. Oswald jerked his pistol from under his jacket, shot four
|
||||
times and ran away. Nine people saw the shooting. A pickup truck
|
||||
driver took the dead officer's radio mike and said, "Hello,
|
||||
police operator. We've had a shooting out here."
|
||||
|
||||
On Air Force One, stewards were removing some of the seats
|
||||
in the tail compartment to make room for President Kennedy's
|
||||
coffin. In the plane's stateroom, Lyndon Johnson was watching
|
||||
Walter Cronkite on television and was asking aides and
|
||||
congressmen whether he should be sworn in immediately or wait
|
||||
until they had returned to Washington. Some thought he should
|
||||
wait. Others thought it might be dangerous for the country to be
|
||||
without a President while he was en route. Johnson decided he
|
||||
would assume the office in Dallas. "Now," he said, "What about
|
||||
the oath?"
|
||||
|
||||
The aides and congressmen were embarrassed. They could
|
||||
remember neither the words nor where to find them. They couldn't
|
||||
remember who, besides Supreme Court justices, was authorized to
|
||||
administer the oath. Everyone was in such shock and confusion
|
||||
that phone calls were made to several Justice Department
|
||||
officials in Washington and Dallas before someone remembered that
|
||||
a President may be sworn in by any judge and that the oath is in
|
||||
the Constitution. Deputy Attorney General Nicholas Katzenbach
|
||||
dictated it by phone from Washington, and U.S. District Judge
|
||||
Sarah Hughes, an old friend of Johnson who had been appointed to
|
||||
the North Texas federal bench by Kennedy, was dispatched to Love
|
||||
Field.
|
||||
|
||||
At 1:40, Lee Oswald ran into the Texas Theater on West
|
||||
Jefferson--eight blocks from officer Tippit's body--without
|
||||
buying a ticket. The box office attendant called the police.
|
||||
Cruisers began converging on the theater. At 1:50, the house
|
||||
lights went up, and officers moved up and down the aisles, looked
|
||||
into the faces of the few patrons. Officer M.N. McDonald stopped
|
||||
at the 10th row and said to a man sitting alone: "Get up."
|
||||
|
||||
"Well, it's all over now," Oswald said, according to
|
||||
witnesses and he stood up. But when McDonald moved closer, Oswald
|
||||
struck him in the face and went for his pistol. McDonald struck
|
||||
back and grabbed for the gun. Oswald pulled the trigger, but the
|
||||
web of skin between McDonald's thumb and forefinger was caught
|
||||
under the hammer. The gun didn't fire. Other officers joined the
|
||||
fight. They subdued Oswald and hustled him out of the theater. "I
|
||||
protest this police brutality!" Oswald shouted.
|
||||
|
||||
Twenty-five minutes later, Capt. Will Fritz, chief of
|
||||
homicide, returned to the Police Department and ordered that the
|
||||
missing Texas School Book Depository worker named Lee Harvey
|
||||
Oswald be arrested as a suspect in the presidential killing. An
|
||||
officer pointed to a small young man with a bruised eye who was
|
||||
sitting in a chair. "There he sits," he said.
|
||||
|
||||
At Parkland, a Secret Service agent called Oneal's Funeral
|
||||
Home in Oak Lawn to order a casket. The funeral director, Vernon
|
||||
Oneal, arrived with it at 1:30. After the President's body had
|
||||
been placed in the casket, Mrs. Kennedy entered Trauma Room No.
|
||||
1, took off her wedding ring and placed it on her husband's
|
||||
finger. The casket was closed and placed on a funeral home cart
|
||||
to be moved to the hearse.
|
||||
|
||||
Dr. Earl Rose, the Dallas County medical examiner,
|
||||
protested. Kennedy was a homicide victim, he said, and the body
|
||||
couldn't be released legally until after an autopsy had been
|
||||
performed. A quarrel developed between him and the Secret
|
||||
Service. Kennedy aides and the Secret Service agents forced the
|
||||
casket through the crowd that had gathered at the hospital door
|
||||
and loaded it into the hearse. Mrs. Kennedy rode in the back with
|
||||
it. At 2:20, the dead President was carried up the stairs into
|
||||
Air Force One. Mrs. Kennedy retired to the bedroom.
|
||||
|
||||
Judge Hughes boarded the plane at 2:35 and was handed a
|
||||
small white card with the oath scrawled on it. Capt. Cecil
|
||||
Stoughton, an Army Signal Corps photographer, tried to arrange
|
||||
the crowd in the cramped stateroom so that he could take a
|
||||
picture of the ceremony. "We'll wait for Mrs. Kennedy," Johnson
|
||||
said. "I want her here."
|
||||
|
||||
Mrs. Kennedy came out of the bedroom still wearing the
|
||||
blood-soaked pink suit. Johnson pressed her hand and said, "This
|
||||
is the saddest moment of my life." The photographer placed her on
|
||||
Johnson's left, Lady Bird on his right. Judge Hughes, the first
|
||||
woman to administer the presidential oath, was shaking.
|
||||
|
||||
"What about a Bible?" asked one of the witnesses. Someone
|
||||
remembered that President Kennedy had kept a Bible in the bedroom
|
||||
and went to get it.
|
||||
|
||||
"I do solemnly swear..."
|
||||
|
||||
The oath lasted 28 seconds. At 2:38 p.m., Lyndon B. Johnson
|
||||
became the 36th President of the United States. The big jet's
|
||||
engines already were screaming. "Now, let's get airborne," he
|
||||
said.

A REMEMBRANCE OF KENNEDY
|
||||
by Jim Henderson
|
||||
Staff Writer
|
||||
|
||||
`Let the word go forth from this time and place...that the torch
|
||||
has been passed to a new generation of Americans--born in this
|
||||
century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace,
|
||||
proud of our ancient heritage.'
|
||||
|
||||
After 20 years, the events seem as compressed as a leanly
|
||||
edited videotape.
|
||||
|
||||
A sunny day, a dark convertible, a steady din rebounding
|
||||
from the canyon walls above a crowded street, three cracks from a
|
||||
rifle in a sniper's nest, a scramble below, engines racing, a
|
||||
sobbing black woman outside Parkland Memorial Hospital, a
|
||||
policeman shot across town, a pronouncement of death, a scrawny,
|
||||
handcuffed suspect in a corridor with Jack Ruby's .38 exploding
|
||||
in his belly.
|
||||
|
||||
The nation was stunned by the images that were transmitted
|
||||
from Dallas--hard images formed in terse, teletype prose and more
|
||||
vivid ones fashioned from bits and pieces of celluloid.
|
||||
|
||||
America paused to watch the newsreel.
|
||||
|
||||
A new President quickly sworn in and airlifted into command,
|
||||
a bloodstained widow never far from the coffin, a change to
|
||||
black, a bewildered daughter kneeling before a flag-draped box in
|
||||
the Capitol rotunda, the wintry streets of the capital, a dark
|
||||
riderless horse with empty boots facing backward in the stirrups,
|
||||
a slow-moving caisson, a young boy saluting the honor guard
|
||||
carrying his father to Arlington National Cemetery, the lighting
|
||||
of the eternal flame.
|
||||
|
||||
On the day John F. Kennedy was buried, Alistair Cooke wrote:
|
||||
"He was snuffed out. In that moment, all the decent grief of a
|
||||
nation was taunted and outraged. So along with the sorrow, there
|
||||
is a desperate and howling note from over the land. We may pray
|
||||
on our knees, but when we get up from them, we cry with the poet:
|
||||
Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the
|
||||
dying of the light."
|
||||
|
||||
It is only in memory that the howling note from those four
|
||||
days flits past. Behind the newsreel, the hours were agonizing
|
||||
and interminable. For many, particularly in Dallas, time moved as
|
||||
slowly as a motorcade or a horse-drawn caisson.
|
||||
|
||||
Erik Jonsson, then-president of the Dallas Citizens Council,
|
||||
would recall the anxiety he felt when the President did not show
|
||||
up on schedule for a luncheon at the Trade Mart. What's going on?
|
||||
he asked himself over and over as the wait, only a few moments in
|
||||
duration, seemed endless.
|
||||
|
||||
After 12:33 p.m. Nov. 22, 1963, the time the first news
|
||||
bulletin notified the republic that its President had been shot
|
||||
in Dallas, the city stood motionless and helpless, waiting for
|
||||
the firestorm of scorn. It came in searing, overlapping bursts.
|
||||
"Are these human beings or are these animals?" Adlai Stevenson
|
||||
had asked moments after he escaped from a violent crowd in Dallas
|
||||
a month earlier.
|
||||
|
||||
The world looked again at Dallas with the same question. It
|
||||
would seem, in the slow-motion drift of events, that the answer
|
||||
would never come. Dallas mourned the assassination as the rest of
|
||||
the nation mourned it, as a deeply personal tragedy.
|
||||
Schoolteachers wept as they broke the news to their classes. Men
|
||||
cried in public. Rage and shame and guilt and dread melted into
|
||||
one great immobilizing glob of emotional turmoil.
|
||||
|
||||
An eternity, two hours and 20 minutes, passed before the
|
||||
truth would be known. Kennedy's assassin was not of Dallas, was
|
||||
far removed from the nation's perception of the city and the
|
||||
city's own worst fears of itself.
|
||||
|
||||
In time, the world, as well as Dallas, would believe the
|
||||
city was merely caught in one of history's inscrutable warps,
|
||||
that it was only by chance that the light passing through the
|
||||
long prism of that era intersected in Dealey Plaza.
|
||||
|
||||
The howl that was heard through the dark night of those
|
||||
times had the tone of a primal scream, a victim raging against a
|
||||
felon. In truth, it was a cry of national doubt, of the sense
|
||||
that America would not be the same. More than mere innocence was
|
||||
lost that day in Dallas. With it went the cable that anchored the
|
||||
nation to its sense of order.
|
||||
|
||||
To the historians who define eras in terms of events rather
|
||||
than years, the decade of the '60s was born in Dallas.
|
||||
|
||||
In a great, shuddering spasm, the fragile floodgates that
|
||||
had held back the reservoir of a restless social movement was
|
||||
punctured by the bullets that rained down from the Texas School
|
||||
Book Depository.
|
||||
|
||||
Within months, America would experience the first of her
|
||||
long hot summers, just the beginning of another newsreel: the
|
||||
dogs and fire hoses of Birmingham, the first smiling Marines
|
||||
marching into Vietnam and returning in body bags, campus radicals
|
||||
occupying the administration building at Columbia University,
|
||||
rioting outside the Democratic National Convention in Chicago,
|
||||
the fires of Watts and Newark and Detroit, Dr. Strangelove,
|
||||
Apollo 11, Woodstock, Charles Manson, the cultural revolution,
|
||||
the counterculture revolution, the sexual revolution, the
|
||||
yippies, the hippies, the peaceniks and the crazies.
|
||||
|
||||
In 1968, Stuart Udall, secretary of interior for both
|
||||
Kennedy and Johnson, was asked his opinion of the times, which
|
||||
seemed to be reeling out of control. He offered a sober, but
|
||||
startling, observation.
|
||||
|
||||
"This may be remembered," he said, "as the most creative
|
||||
time in our history."
|
||||
|
||||
It did not seem such an outrageous judgment when the
|
||||
hurricane had passed. A sorting out had occurred in the storm.
|
||||
Not many years would pass before a black preacher from Chicago
|
||||
would run for the presidency. Women would flood the work place
|
||||
and supervise staffs of men. Men with an eye on the White House
|
||||
could talk of a female running mate without risking ridicule.
|
||||
Wars would be harder to make, nuclear waste harder to conceal,
|
||||
books harder to burn, air harder to pollute, justice harder to
|
||||
deny.
|
||||
|
||||
America was starkly different. Kennedy's presidency and his
|
||||
assassination may have been essential to unlocking the passions
|
||||
of the time, but what the land became was neither his legacy, nor
|
||||
Oswald's nor Dallas.'
|
||||
|
||||
After the trauma and shame and guilt were gone, the judgment
|
||||
of history would be that Kennedy and Oswald, Edwin Walker and
|
||||
Martin Luther King, George Wallace and Stokely Carmichael, Angela
|
||||
Davis and George Lincoln Rockwell, Dallas and Los Angeles,
|
||||
Memphis and Birmingham, Detroit and Da Nang were fragments of the
|
||||
American character, slivers of the dream and the nightmare.
|
||||
|
||||
The legacy of that sunlit moment in Dallas was a nation's
|
||||
fretful and all-consuming search for itself, a long and howling
|
||||
rage against the dying of the light.

<p> The Next Banking Crisis:

=========================================

The Issue Whose Name They Dare Not Speak.
|

=========================================
|
||||
By Doug Henwood, _The Nation_, July 20/27, 1992
|
||||
(See below for more about _The Nation_) </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Transcribed by Joseph Woodard </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Whatever happened to the financial crisis? Only a year ago, it seemed
|
||||
the credit system was imploding, and ever-more-extravagant bailouts
|
||||
appeared inevitable. Now, the Resolution Trust Corporation (R.T.C.),
|
||||
liquidator of failed savings and loans, is winding down operations;
|
||||
banks and surviving thrifts seem generally profitable; and the seizure
|
||||
of failing institutions has all but ceased. Surely the weak, possibly
|
||||
failing, economic recovery we've seen since late last year can't be
|
||||
solely responsible for this apparent reversal of fortune. </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>No, finance owes its recovery mainly to an indulgent government, whose
|
||||
normal generosity has been deepened by election year concerns. The
|
||||
Bush Administration wants to bury the problem, Congress is happy to go
|
||||
along and the media aren't asking any unpleasant questions. Clinton
|
||||
raises the issue with his typical technocratic dullness, and Perot
|
||||
with his usual empty fury -- but neither has made that big a deal of
|
||||
the timely disappearance of the financial crisis. That's odd,
|
||||
considering that, as Bush campaign officials told Lynda Edwards of
|
||||
_The Village Voice_, people in their focus groups are obsessed with
|
||||
the savings and loan bailout and wonder why the press isn't covering
|
||||
it. </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>One reason the banking mess has receded from view is that the Federal
|
||||
Reserve -- which no doubt prefers that the financial system never be
|
||||
an electoral issue at all -- has been easing policy gradually but
|
||||
steadily since March 1989. The federal funds rate (the interest rate
|
||||
banks charge one another for overnight loans), the most sensitive
|
||||
indicator of the central bank's policy, has fallen in thirty-two of
|
||||
the past forty months, pushing short-term interest rates to their
|
||||
lowest levels since 1963. </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Although the economy has barely responded to this treatment -- no
|
||||
modern slump has proved so resistant to lowered rates -- it has helped
|
||||
refloat the banking system in at least two ways. First, banks haven't
|
||||
really shared the Fed's generosity with their customers. Rates charged
|
||||
for loans haven't declined anywhere near as much as those paid on
|
||||
deposits, boosting bank profits. And second, long-term rates haven't
|
||||
declined nearly as much as short-term rates. Leaving aside two brief
|
||||
spikes in the 1950s, the gap between long- and short-term rates is the
|
||||
widest it's been since the dislocations of the 1930s and 1940s. This
|
||||
also fattens the banks, which have been buying government bonds
|
||||
(rather than making loans) and pocketing the large spread between what
|
||||
they pay their depositors and what they can get from Uncle Sam. Should
|
||||
the relation between long-term and short-term rates return to normal,
|
||||
the banks would take a quick turn for the worse. </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Fed chairman Alan Greenspan isn't the banks' only friend. The other is
|
||||
the man who has said he will do anything to get re-elected, George
|
||||
Bush. Late in June, his Administration unleashed a bill that would gut
|
||||
the Community Reinvestment Act (which requires banks to make loans in
|
||||
their own neighborhoods, including low-income areas), ease
|
||||
restrictions on loans to a bank's own officers and directors and
|
||||
postpone the effective date of some tighter regulations contained in
|
||||
last year's banking law. </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>This proposal is only the latest in a series of deregulatory gestures
|
||||
by the Administration and the Fed. The Durham, North Carolina-based
|
||||
Financial Democracy Campaign recently issued a five-page list of such
|
||||
gifts to the financial industry -- forty-five actions, taken rather
|
||||
quietly since December, that mandate looser capital requirements,
|
||||
lighter supervision and gimmicky accounting. Their collective effect
|
||||
is to make the banking industry look healthier than it really is and
|
||||
to permit riskier behavior in the future. </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>These moves defer tomorrow's disasters, shoring up shaky banks (more
|
||||
than 1,000 are on the F.D.l.C.'s problem list); yesterday's disasters
|
||||
are being dealt with separately. The government has virtually stopped
|
||||
seizing failed banks and thrifts; the liquidators can only move in
|
||||
when ordered to by Administration agencies (the Office of Thrift
|
||||
Supervision and the Comptroller of the Currency, both fiefdoms within
|
||||
Nicholas Brady's Treasury Department), and such orders aren't being
|
||||
given. This is good news for the liquidators, since their insurance
|
||||
funds are broke, and Congress is reluctant to vote them more money --
|
||||
at least not in an election year. </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>If you listen to the R.T.C., its work is nearly done. Even though it
|
||||
has run through only half its budget, the corporation is shutting
|
||||
offices and reducing staff. Among the staff being reduced, as Susan
|
||||
Schmidt has been reporting in _The Washington Post_, are lawyers with
|
||||
the professional liability section, who are supposed to be going after
|
||||
the executives and board members who ran the thrift industry into the
|
||||
ground. With a three-year statute of limitations (running from the
|
||||
moment institutions are seized), the division needs more staff, not
|
||||
less -- but the R.T.C. is dismissing experienced lawyers and replacing
|
||||
them with novices. No one can prove anything yet, of course, but the
|
||||
likely targets of such liability investigations, aside from bankers,
|
||||
would be realtors, accountants, lawyers, doctors and others who are
|
||||
likely to be generous campaign contributors to both parties. </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Insofar as there's a strategy behind this delay in dealing with the
|
||||
banking problem (aside from political expediency), it's one of
|
||||
"forbearance" -- the hope that the problem will just go away with time
|
||||
and economic growth. But the economy is hardly growing, and insolvency
|
||||
isn't one of the diseases that time can cure. The Congressional Budget
|
||||
Office estimates that the repeated delays in shutting down insolvent
|
||||
institutions from 1980 to 1991 added $66 billion to the cost of the
|
||||
S&L bailout -- enough to fund the Aid to Families with Dependent
|
||||
Children program for three years, or AIDS research for fifty. </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Students of the S&L disaster are reminded of 1988, when the same trio
|
||||
of co-conspirators -- the executive and legislative branches, assisted
|
||||
by a lazy or complicit media -- ignored the disaster until after the
|
||||
election. In early 1989, the thrift crisis was suddenly "discovered,"
|
||||
only to disappear again in accordance with the quadrennial cycle. </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>But the problems won't just go away. Bank and thrift balance sheets
|
||||
are contaminated with billions of dollars of loans that went to build
|
||||
pointless shopping centers and see-through office buildings. Salomon
|
||||
Brothers estimates that it will take a national average of twelve
|
||||
years to fill up existing empty commercial real estate -- ten years in
|
||||
Los Angeles, twenty-six years in Boston, forty-six years in New York
|
||||
City and fifty-six years in San Antonio, the national champ. </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Aside from increasing the ultimate cost of the financial rescue, the
|
||||
conspiracy of silence has largely prevented any serious discussion of
|
||||
why the financial meltdown happened or how we might make the best of
|
||||
the situation. The government is spending hundreds of billions of
|
||||
public dollars to restore business as usual. Instead, failed
|
||||
institutions could be transformed to publicly or cooperatively owned
|
||||
local development banks, and the government's vast inventory of
|
||||
near-worthless real estate could be turned over to community groups,
|
||||
local governments or nonprofit associations for creative use. But some
|
||||
things are too important to be discussed openly, especially during
|
||||
election season. </p>

|

|
||||
<p>Tom Bearden</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> John Bedini has a prototype free energy motor.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Imagine having a small D.C. electrical motor sitting on your laboratory bench powered
|
||||
by a common 12 volt battery. Imagine starting with a fully charged battery and
|
||||
connecting it to the motor with no other power input. Obviously, the motor is go
|
||||
ing to run off the battery, but by conventional thinking it will stop when the battery
|
||||
runs down.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> It isn't running by the conventional wisdom of electrical physics. It isn't running
|
||||
by the conventional rules of electric motors and generators, but it is running.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> And it isn't something complex. It's pretty simple, once one gets the hang of the
|
||||
basic idea.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Impossible, you say. Not at all. That's precisely what John Bedini has done, and the
|
||||
motor is running now in his workshop.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> It's running off the principles of electromagnetics that Nikola Tesla
|
||||
discovered shortly before 1900 in his Colorado Springs experiments. It's running
|
||||
off the fact that pure empty vacuum - pure "emptiness", so to speak, is filled with riv
|
||||
ers and oceans of seething energy, just as Nikola Tesla pointed out.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> It's running off the fact that vacuum space-time itself is nothing but pure masless
|
||||
charge. That is, vacuum has a very high electrostatic scalar potential - it is greatly
|
||||
stressed. To usefully tap the enormous locked-in energy of that stress, all one
|
||||
has to do is crack it sharply and tap the vacuum oscillations that result. The best
|
||||
way to do that is to hit something resonant that is imbedded in the vacuum, then
|
||||
tap the resonant stress of the ringing of the vacuum itself.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> In other words, we can ring something at its resonant frequency and, if that
|
||||
something is imbedded in the vacuum, we can tap off the resonance in vacuum stress,
|
||||
without tapping energy directly from the embedded system we rang into oscillation.
|
||||
So
|
||||
what we really need is something that is deeply imbedded in the vacuum, that is,
|
||||
something that can translate the "vacuum" movement into "mass" movement.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Well, all charged particles and ions are already imbedded in the vacuum by their
|
||||
charged fluxes, so stressed oscillations - that is, vacuum oscillations - can be
|
||||
converted into normal energy of mass movement by charged particles or ions, if the
|
||||
sy
|
||||
stem of charged particles or ions is made to resonate in phase with our tapping
|
||||
"potential". For our purpose, let's use a system of ions.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> First we will need a big accumulator to hold a lot of the charged ions in the system
|
||||
that we wish to shock into oscillation. We need something that has a big capacitance
|
||||
and also contains a lot of ions.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> An ordinary battery filled with electrolyte fits the bill nicely. While it's not
|
||||
commonly known, ordinary lead-acid storage batterys have a resonant ionic frequency,
|
||||
usually in the range of from 1 - 6 Mhz. All we have to do is shock -oscillate the
|
||||
ions in the electrolyte at their resonant frequency and time our "trigger" potential
|
||||
and "siphon" circuit correctly. Then if we keep adding potential to trigger the
|
||||
system we can get all that "potential" to translate into "free electrical energy".</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Look at it this way. Conventionally "electrostatic scalar potential" is composed
|
||||
of work or energy per columb of charged particle mass. So if we add potential alone,
|
||||
without the mass flow, to a system of oscillating charged particles, we add "physica
|
||||
l energy" in the entire charged particle system. In other words, the "potential" we
|
||||
add is converted directly into "ordinary energy " by the imbedded ions in the system.
|
||||
And if we are clever we don't have to furnish any pushing energy to move pure po
|
||||
tential around. (For proof that this is possible, see Bearden's Toward a New
|
||||
Electromagnetics; Part IV; Vectors and Mechanisms Clarified, Tesla Book Co., 1983,
|
||||
Slide 19, Page 43, and the accompanying write-up, pages 10, and 11. Also see Y.
|
||||
Aharonov an
|
||||
d V. Bohm, "Significance of Electromagnetic Potentials in the Quantum Theory",
|
||||
Physical Review, Second Series, Vol. 115, No. 3, Aug. 1, 1959, pages 485-491. On page
|
||||
490 you will find that it's possible to have a field-free reigon of space, and
|
||||
still have the potential determine the physical properties of the system.)</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Now this "free energy resonant coupling" can be done in a simple, cheap system.
|
||||
You don't need big cyclotrons and huge laboratories to do it; you can do it with
|
||||
ordinary D.C. motors, batteries, controllers and trigger circuits.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> And that's exactly what John Bedini has done. It's real. It works. It's running
|
||||
now on John's laboratory bench in prototype form.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> But that's not all. John is also a humanitarian. He's as concerned as I am for that
|
||||
little old widow lady at the end of the lane, stretching her meager Social Security
|
||||
check as far as she can, shivering in the cold winter and not daring to turn
|
||||
up her furnace because she can't afford the frightful utility bills.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> That's simply got to change and John Bedini may well be the fellow who changes it.
|
||||
By openly releasing his work in this paper, he is providing enough information
|
||||
for all the tinkerers and independent inventors around the world to have at it. If
|
||||
he can get a thousand of them to duplicate his device, it simply can't be supressed as
|
||||
so many others have been.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> So here it is. John has deliberately written his paper for the tinkerer and
|
||||
experimenter, not for the scientist. You must be careful, for the device is a little
|
||||
tricky to adjust in and synchronize all the resonances. You'll have to fiddle with
|
||||
it,
|
||||
but it will work. Keep at it.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Also, we warn you not to play with this unless you know what you are doing. The
|
||||
resonating battery electrolyte produces hydrogen, and if you hit it to hard with a
|
||||
"voltage spike" you can get an electrical spark inside the battery. If that happens, </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>THE BATTERY WILL EXPLODE, so don't mess with it unless you are qualified and use the
|
||||
utmost caution.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> But it DOES work. So all you experimenters and pioneers, now's your chance. Have
|
||||
at it. Build it. Tinker with it. Fiddle it into resonant operation. Then lets build
|
||||
this thing in quantity, sell it widely, and get those home utilities down to where w
|
||||
e can all afford them - including the shivering little old lady at the end of the lane.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> And when we do, lets give John Bedini, and men like him the credit and appreciation
|
||||
they so richly deserve.</p>

<p>John Bedini</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>[Note: John Bedini developed Two kinds of controller devices. One, being very simple,
|
||||
is the one I will present here. The other is quite a bit more complex, and would be
|
||||
impossible for me to reproduce here... Anyway if you want to see the all electro
|
||||
nic controller, get the book "Bedini's Free Energy Generator" by John C. Bedini,
|
||||
Published by the Tesla Book Co. 1580 Magnolia Ave., Millbrae, CA 94030.]</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> For some time man has been looking for different ways to generate electricity. He has
|
||||
used water power, steam power, nuclear power, and solar power. Recent papers written
|
||||
by Tom Bearden make a free energy generator possible. Tom Bearden, rather
|
||||
than patent his devices, chose to share them with people who had open ears. I
|
||||
myself have had many conversations with Tom Bearden. He found Tom to be one of
|
||||
the most reasonable men he had ever dealt with in this energy field. Most others woul
|
||||
d tell you stories of great machines they had, but would never present the truth
|
||||
with circuit diagrams or a look at the machine in question. Tom, on the other hand,
|
||||
clearly presents his ideas and clearly presents his ideas and discloses the
|
||||
concepts by means of which they work.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The facts I am about to present to you about free energy were never put into textbooks,
|
||||
only portions were. The textbooks have grounded people in conventional theory and made
|
||||
things very complicated. What I am about to explain is very simple; anyone
|
||||
can understand this theory and anyone who understands what he is doing can build
|
||||
this device.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> I have been grounded in conventional theory for some eleven years. I have always
|
||||
tried to study the simplicity of electrical circuits, but my mind wouldn't allow
|
||||
this because of my orthodox training. In any event, I had to change the way
|
||||
i was looking at things. I started to wonder, why do we need to have things so
|
||||
complicated? The truth of the matter is, we have been taught to consume or waste energy
|
||||
at every turn in our lives, so we jump into our cars, turn on lights, etc. In other
|
||||
words, we have been conditioned to waste energy and fuels lavishly, not realizing
|
||||
that someday someone will sky-rocket our energy bills to a point where we will
|
||||
not be able to pay for these fuels. Everything will come to a stand-still. But la
|
||||
ugh as you will, at that time Rube Goldberg machines will power your future. It
|
||||
probably will not be uncommon to see machines from the size of garbage cans to the
|
||||
size of two story apartment houses powering everything in sight. These machines will </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>be using a force in nature never conceived by the conventionally trained mind of today.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> The theory I am about to explain to you will bring you one step closer to gaining
|
||||
free energy.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> To begin my story I must state I had a vision - looking for this energy. Many times
|
||||
I hammered my head into the ground, but I refused to give up in my search. Any person
|
||||
with a dream should never let it be wasted by fools, who will always say "you
|
||||
can't do that". All that statement really means is that they do not know how to do it.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> There are many different ways to explain this theory. I will discuss the first
|
||||
one now.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> The device is very simple and uses a motor, a generator, a controller switch, and a
|
||||
battery. Basically, we drive a direct current motor with pulsed current from a battery,
|
||||
then utilize a special means to cause the battery to recharge itself.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> First, the battery, controller, and generator are interconnected as shown in figure
|
||||
3. (See also Figure 1)</p>

Figure 3: Schematic of the device
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Let's begin by stating certain facts. The ions move backwards under charging
|
||||
conditions and in reverse under discharging conditions. So here we start our new
|
||||
concept. Suppose we have constructed a machine that has tricked this battery into a
|
||||
different space and time relationship. Simply put, suppose the battery never did any
|
||||
work
|
||||
and it should have its full charge left in it. Suppose this becomes possible because
|
||||
we have stressed the terminals in such a way that the ions in the battery electrolyte
|
||||
actually move themselves backwards. The machine, or unit, that makes this possible h
|
||||
as many different names. Some people call these units generators, energizers,
|
||||
alternators, etc. Conventionally such devices have one thing in common; they stress the
|
||||
battery backwards by pushing electricity into the battery and forcibly pushing the ions
|
||||
i
|
||||
n the electrolyte backwards. In our theory, we are not going to push anything - the ions
|
||||
are going to move themselves, recharging the battery.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>If we go a little deeper into this theory, you are probably asking yourself, "what is
|
||||
this madman talking about?" Simply put, we are going to put a stress on the battery
|
||||
terminals for a moment in time and the battery will do the rest. Now comes the heavy
|
||||
part of this theory. What they didn't teach you in textbooks is that, in order for the
|
||||
battery to charge, two oscillatory actions must occur, one at the positive terminal and
|
||||
one at the negative terminal. Under different stress levels this then forces the
|
||||
ions backwards. The same would occur for an electron. Our machine will slingshot ions
|
||||
in the battery electrolyte backwards beyond the normal recoil action.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> I must give a very stern warning at this time that if the voltage developed is too
|
||||
high the battery will explode. Use the utmost care. Test setups in my lab have proven
|
||||
that this can be dangerous. Do not build the device and experiment with it unless yo
|
||||
u know what you are doing, and use the utmost caution.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> When struck by a sharp voltage spike, the electrolyte in the battery will resonate
|
||||
at a certain frequency and this can also force the ions backwards. Simply put, the
|
||||
battery, the motor, and the energizer will become resonant at some point, "ring" like
|
||||
a
|
||||
bell when we "strike" it, and in its ringing the most energy will be developed.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>[Note: sorry I can't produce waveforms here so get the book! I will present the
|
||||
explanation here, however]</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> The battery is really charging itself. The ions in the electrolyte are being stressed
|
||||
in a curved space and time relationship, the battery is actually forced into believing
|
||||
that no work ever occured. The oscillatory action that has taken place by the en
|
||||
ergizer has just pulsed our "slingshot" and immediately let go. Once this has happened,
|
||||
the electrolyte in the battery goes wild and the ions race backwards, giving off
|
||||
hydrogen and oxygen gas. I must make a stern warning here! The time of the stimulaing
|
||||
pulse is very important. If the time is to long the battery will burn itself out. If
|
||||
the pulse time is too short or if the circuit fails to operate correctly, the battery
|
||||
will never recover its charge. Taking this into consideration, the only failures tha
|
||||
t could occur would be the controller failure due to a points faiulre (on the electronic
|
||||
controller), or the multivibrator latched in the "on" position (again, only on the
|
||||
electronic controller). Anyone studying this can see that we have used very little
|
||||
energy to get to this point, and gained a lot of resonant energy in return.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> We must remember that, if the battery is applied to the energizer longer than normal,
|
||||
we must burn up the excess energy to keep the battery cool. The problem now becomes one
|
||||
of embarrassing excess of energy, not a shortage.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> The energizer is also a simple machine, but if yu want to, you can make it very
|
||||
complex. The simple way is to study the alternator principles. The waves we want to
|
||||
generate are like those that came from old D.C. generators with the exception of
|
||||
armature
|
||||
drag, bearing drag, and no excited fields. Also, we would want to cut the magnetic
|
||||
fields at 90 degress to the armature. The simpler the better.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> I am going to throw a few ideas your way. I have run some tests in my lab and
|
||||
discovered that certain types of energizers, generators, and alternators do what we
|
||||
need. Also, we want to be able to tune the output of our energizer. The old D.C.
|
||||
generator
|
||||
puts out something very close towhat we need, except for The drag.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> In an A.C. generator output we are going to see just what we manufacture. It would
|
||||
appear that this leaves this generator out. Not really, because we can make this
|
||||
generator's output change by rectifying it.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> In looking at the A.C. generator with rectified output, we see that it could become
|
||||
very useful to us as an energizer, simply because it is the easiest to construct and
|
||||
its principles are simple. I have done experiments with an A.C. generator using ALL
|
||||
N. alligned magnets, and rectified. Most people can see that that type o alternator
|
||||
might have some problems. However, remember that I am looking for a certain type of wave
|
||||
form that I want to tune to a certain frequency at a certain speed. The winding of
|
||||
this alternatr is a problem and it is a bit tricky, but I chose to stay with this unit.
|
||||
You may choose a different method if you retain the principle. The type of energizer
|
||||
that was used for the prototype was a standard office type 2-speed A.C. fan housi
|
||||
ng. The coils were replaced with 6 coils of approx. 200 turns of #20 wire - all in
|
||||
phase. Six permanent magnets are bonded to an aluminum disc. This arrangement is
|
||||
basically a magneto, but will produce more amperage than ordinarily expected of a
|
||||
magneto.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Controller Construction: Figure 2 shows the controller. It should be made of two
|
||||
coencentric circles, one with approx. 140 degrees of copper, the other, spaced far
|
||||
enough from the first for a brush to be inserted between them, a full 360 degrees of
|
||||
copper
|
||||
. Provisions should be made to rotate the brushes in relationship to each other in order
|
||||
to secure the required timing.</p>
|

|

<p>Eike Mueller</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>John Bedini found that the material generally available concerning Kromery's
|
||||
Converter had been altered. Rebuilding the Kromery Converter from the patent papers
|
||||
ended up in a non-functioning device. Bedini found the necessary modifications </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>which made this machine perform.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Our first goal was to determine the converters efficiency. We found this to be
|
||||
quite difficult as the efficiency changes with the load applied.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Figure K-1 shows the first setup we used. We drove the Kromery Converter from
|
||||
a 12v motorcycle battery. We connected at the output of the converter a condenser
|
||||
and a rectifier bridge in parallel. The rectified current was then put b
|
||||
ack into the motorcycle battery. To detect any current flow, we connect into the
|
||||
positive line a 12 V light bulb.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The result of this test was the light bulb was lit up. However after 15 minutes the
|
||||
batrery voltage had dropped from 11.05 V to 9.10 V. The speed of the converter
|
||||
was stabale at 1020 rpm.</p>

<p>In the next test we introduced a seperate battery (battery #2) for charging from

|

|

<p>We recharged the battery #2 from 12.30 V to 12.40 V within 4 minutes, and we measured

Figure K-2 shows the second test setup. Because the kromery converter ran
|
||||
too slow on one 12 V battery, we decided to drive the converter using 24 V via tw
|
||||
o 12 V batteries, connected in series.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Next we wanted to find a correlation between the normal charging of battery #2 using
|
||||
a commercial battery charger, and charging this same battery with the Kromery converter.
|
||||
We drained the battery #2 to 8 V, connected it to the Kromery Converter, and af
|
||||
ter reaching 11.51 V, we measured the time it took to charge the battery from this
|
||||
voltage level of 11.51 V to 12.45 V. We reached this voltage (12.45 V) after 11
|
||||
minutes. The indicated current into the battery was 0.94 A.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>We then repeated these steps using the commercial battery charger. Because we ran out
|
||||
of time after nearly 2 hours, we disconnected the battery from the charger. The
|
||||
battery voltage had reached 12.41 V. The measurement is depicted in Figure K-3.</p>
|

|
||||
|
||||
<p> NOTE: The charger could not fill up the batteries
|
||||
to 12.45 volts within two hours.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>We wanted to find a correction factor for the Kromery Converter by comparing the
|
||||
same effect, i.e. the charging of the same battery from one specific voltage to
|
||||
another specific voltage. The calculation of this factor is avilable in the book "E
|
||||
xperiments with a Kromery and a Brandt-Tesla converter built by John Bedini" By Eike
|
||||
Mueller, with Comments by Tom Bearden. Table K-1 shows the combined test results.
|
||||
Because we detected an increase in the speed of the Kromery Converter as well as
|
||||
a
|
||||
decrease in the input energy when we increased the output load, we decided to
|
||||
measure the input energy and speed when the output was shorted. Again, the input energy
|
||||
dropped and the speed increased.</p>

<p>Using the earlier determined correction factor of 5.535 we calculated the energy

they put into the battery to 56.78 watts (from 10.26 * 5.535). Looking at Table K-1

we see that it takes only 54.78 watts to run the Kromery Converter when the outpu

<xml><p>"The Bermuda Triangle and Parapsychology" By Dave Beall</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>. Although not embraced by the parapsychological community, the Bermuda
|
||||
Triangle phenomena is an intriguing topic to the public. Jane Roberts' Seth
|
||||
claims the mysterious disappearances of ships and planes is the result of a
|
||||
"coordination point", which is a place where time and space meet. Supposed
|
||||
energy "crystals" from the ancient culture of Atlantis, which Edgar Cayce
|
||||
predicted would be discovered in the Atlantic Ocean, are suspected by some to
|
||||
be responsible for the peculiar events in this region. Some individuals
|
||||
consider UFOs as the source of the phenomena.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>. A provacative theory has been proposed by geologists as a result of the
|
||||
recent discover and subsequent laboratory analysis of an ice like substance
|
||||
called hydrate. A hydrate layer, formed by mixing cold sea water and natural
|
||||
gas at immense pressures of the deep ocean, has been found on the ocean floor
|
||||
in the triangle area, and this seal prevents natural venting of natural gas
|
||||
from the large hydrocarbon desposits located there.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>. When a large natural gas pocket is suddenly released as a result of a
|
||||
buildup in pressure or sea floor movement (i.e. faulting), ships can be
|
||||
suddenly swallowed by the foamy mixture of gas and water and temporary
|
||||
"islands" as much as one mile across can be visible on neighboring ship's radar
|
||||
screens, as the gas enters the atmosphere. Negative ions generated by agitated
|
||||
sea water rise into the atmosphere along with the lighter-than-air-gas, causing
|
||||
magnetic disturbances which could disrupt compass readings in the area.
|
||||
Aircraft, passing over the gas blowout, could experience engine failure due to
|
||||
oxygen starvation in the gas rich air and crash without a trace.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>. Any sinking wreckage from a plane or ship could be carried miles from the
|
||||
accident site by the strong currents in the region, before being consumed by
|
||||
thick bottom muds or hydrate accumulations, leaving no evidence. The release
|
||||
of trapped gas desposits ruptured by faulting in shallow ocean areas could
|
||||
display similar characteristics, whithout hydrate, and the chance of a gas
|
||||
blowout of this nature exists anywhere in the world's oceans where large
|
||||
natural gas deposits are present. In the case of the Bermuda Triangle
|
||||
phenomena, it would appear that a reasonable explanation has been proposed.
|
||||
|
||||
. Many aspects of parapsychology or related areas may not have solutions
|
||||
which readily conform to known physical principles. On the other hand, many
|
||||
esoteric or metaphysical ideas may someday be explainable in purely physical
|
||||
terms. In an attempt to understand paranormal occurences, an individual should
|
||||
remain open and objective until all of the evidence is in so that the
|
||||
temptation towards premature and unfounded conclusions can be overcome.</p></xml>

<p>"The best weapon of a dictatorship is secrecy, but the best weapon of
|
||||
a democracy should be the weapon of openness."</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>--Niels Bohr</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Introduction</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>What is the "weapon of openness" and why is it the best weapon of a
|
||||
democracy? Openness here means public access to the information needed
|
||||
for the making of public decisions. Increased public access (i.e. less
|
||||
secrecy) also gives information to adversaries, thereby increasing
|
||||
their strength. The "weapon of openness" is the net contribution that
|
||||
increased openness (i.e. less secrecy) makes to the survival of a
|
||||
society. Bohr believed that the gain in strength from openness in a
|
||||
democracy exceeded the gains of its adversaries, and thus openness was
|
||||
a weapon.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>This is made plausible by a Darwinian argument. Open societies evolved
|
||||
as fittest to survive and to reproduce themselves in an international
|
||||
jungle. Thus the strength of the weapon of openness has been tested
|
||||
and proven in battle and in imitation. Technology developed most
|
||||
vigorously in precisely those times, i.e. the industrial revolution,
|
||||
and precisely those places, western Europe and America, where the
|
||||
greatest openness existed. Gorbachev's glasnost is recognition that
|
||||
this correlation is alive and well today.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Let us note immediately that secrecy and surprise are clearly
|
||||
essential weapons of war and that even countries like the U.S., which
|
||||
justifiably prided itself on its openness, have made great and
|
||||
frequently successful efforts to use secrecy as a wartime weapon.
|
||||
Bohr's phrase was coined following WWII when his primary concern was
|
||||
with living with nuclear weapons. This paper is concerned with the
|
||||
impact of secrecy vs. openness policy on the development of military
|
||||
technology in a long duration peacetime rivalry.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Let us also immediately note that publication is the route to all
|
||||
rewards in academic science and technology. When publication is
|
||||
denied, the culture changes toward the standard hierarchical culture
|
||||
where rewards are dependent on finding favor with superiors. Reward
|
||||
through publication has been remarkably successful in stimulating
|
||||
independent thinking. However, in assessing openness vs. secrecy
|
||||
policy it must be borne in mind that research workers (including the
|
||||
present author) start with strong biases favoring openness.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>In contrast, secrecy insiders come from a culture where access to
|
||||
deeper secrets conveys higher status. Those who "get ahead" in the
|
||||
culture of secrecy understand its uses for personal advancement.
|
||||
Knowledge is power, and for many insiders access to classified
|
||||
information is the chief source of their power. It is not surprising
|
||||
that secrecy insiders see the publication of technological information
|
||||
as endangering national security. On the other hand, to what degree
|
||||
can we accept insiders' assurances that operations not subject to
|
||||
public scrutiny or to free marketplace control will strengthen our
|
||||
democracy?</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>My own experience relates only to secrecy in technology. Therefore I
|
||||
will not discuss such secrets as submarine positions (which seem
|
||||
perfectly justifiable to me in the sense that they clearly add to our
|
||||
strength) or activities which are kept secret to avoid the
|
||||
difficulties of explaining policy choices to the public (which seem
|
||||
disastrously divisive to me).</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>First, we offer some clues to understanding the historical military
|
||||
strength of openness in long duration competition with secrecy.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Second, we suggest a procedure for the utilization of more openness to
|
||||
increase our strength.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The Strength of Openness</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> An important source of support for secrecy in technology is the
|
||||
ancient confusion between magic and science. In many communications
|
||||
addressed to laymen the terms are used almost interchangeably. Magic
|
||||
depends on secrecy to create its illusions while science depends on
|
||||
openness for its progress. A major part of the educated public and the
|
||||
media have not adequately understood this profound difference between
|
||||
magic and science. This important failure in our educational system is
|
||||
one source of the lack of general appreciation of the power of
|
||||
openness as a source of military strength. A more general
|
||||
understanding of the power of openness would bolster our faith that
|
||||
open societies would continue to be fittest to survive.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Openness is necessary for the processes of trial and the elimination
|
||||
of error, Sir Karl Popper's beautiful description of the mechanism of
|
||||
progress in science. Let's try to understand what happens to each of
|
||||
these processes in a secret project and perhaps we can shed some light
|
||||
on how the peacetime military was able to justly acquire its
|
||||
reputation for resistance to novelty.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Trial in Popper's language means receptivity to the unexpected
|
||||
conjecture. There is the tradition of the young outsider challenging
|
||||
the conventional wisdom. However in real life it is always difficult
|
||||
for really new ideas to be heard. Such a victory is almost impossible
|
||||
in a hierarchical structure. The usual way a new idea can be heard is
|
||||
for it to be sold first outside the hierarchy. When the project is
|
||||
secret this is much more difficult, whether the inventor is inside or
|
||||
outside the project.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Impediments to the elimination of errors will determine the pace of
|
||||
progress in science as they do in many other matters. It is important
|
||||
here to distinguish between two types of error which I will call
|
||||
ordinary and cherished errors. Ordinary errors can be corrected
|
||||
without embarrassment to powerful people. The elimination of errors
|
||||
which are cherished by powerful people for prestige, political, or
|
||||
financial reasons is an adversary process. In open science this
|
||||
adversary process is conducted in open meetings or in scientific
|
||||
journals. In a secret project it almost inevitably becomes a political
|
||||
battle and the outcome depends on political strength, although the
|
||||
rhetoric will usually employ much scientific jargon.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Advances in technology incorporate a planning process in addition to
|
||||
the trial and elimination of error which is basic to all life. When
|
||||
the planned advance is small the planning can be dominant, in the
|
||||
sense that little new knowledge is required and no significant errors
|
||||
must be anticipated. When the planned advance is large it will usually
|
||||
involve research and invention, and the processes of trial and the
|
||||
elimination of error discussed above will determine the rate of
|
||||
progress. In these cases the advantages of openness will be especially
|
||||
important. The familiar disappointments in meeting schedules and
|
||||
budgets are frequently related to the fact that, in selling new
|
||||
programs, the importance of these unpredictable processes is not
|
||||
sufficiently emphasized. More openness would reduce these
|
||||
disappointments.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Trial and the elimination of error is essential to significant
|
||||
progress in military technology, and thus both aspects of the process
|
||||
by which significant progress is made in military technology are
|
||||
sharply decelerated when secrecy is widespread in peacetime. Openness
|
||||
accelerates progress. In peacetime military technology, openness is a
|
||||
weapon. It is one clue to the survival of open societies in an
|
||||
international jungle.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Secrecy as an Instrument of Corruption</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The other side of the coin is the weakness which secrecy fosters as an
|
||||
instrument of corruption. This is well illustrated in Reagan's 1982
|
||||
Executive Order #12356 on National Security (alarmingly tightening
|
||||
secrecy) which states {Sec. 1.6(a)};</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>In no case shall information be classified in order to conceal
|
||||
violations of law, inefficiency, or administrative error; to prevent
|
||||
embarrassment to a person, organization or agency; to restrain
|
||||
competition; or to prevent or delay the release of information that
|
||||
does not require protection in the interest of national security.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>This section orders criminals not to conceal their crimes and the
|
||||
inefficient not to conceal their inefficiency. But beyond that it
|
||||
provides an abbreviated guide to the crucial roles of secrecy in the
|
||||
processes whereby power corrupts and absolute power corrupts
|
||||
absolutely. Corruption by secrecy is an important clue to the strength
|
||||
of openness.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>One of the most important impacts of corruption from secrecy is on the
|
||||
making of major technical decisions. Any federally sponsored project
|
||||
and especially a project so hotly contested as the Strategic Defense
|
||||
Initiative must always keep all its constituencies in mind when making
|
||||
such decisions. Thus the leadership must ask itself whether its
|
||||
continual search for allies will be served by making a purely
|
||||
technical decision one way or the other. (A purely technical decision
|
||||
might determine whether money flows to Ohio or to Texas. Worse yet,
|
||||
revealing technical weaknesses could impact the project budget.)</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>When this search for allies occurs in an unclassified project,
|
||||
technical criticisms, which will come from the scientific community
|
||||
outside the project, must be considered. Consideration of these
|
||||
criticisms can improve the decision making process dramatically by
|
||||
bringing a measure of the power of the scientific method to the making
|
||||
of major technical decisions.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>In a classified project, the vested interests which grow around a
|
||||
decision can frequently prevent the questioning of authority necessary
|
||||
for the elimination of error. Peacetime classified projects have a
|
||||
very bad record of rejecting imaginative suggestions which frequently
|
||||
are very threatening to the existing political power structure.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>When technical information is classified, public technical criticism
|
||||
will inevitably degrade to a media contest between competing
|
||||
authorities and, in the competition for attention, it will never be
|
||||
clear whether politics or science is speaking. We then lose both the
|
||||
power of science and the credibility of democratic process.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Corruption is a progressive disease. It diffuses from person to person
|
||||
across society by direct observations of its efficacy and its safety.
|
||||
The efficacy of the abuse of secrecy for interagency rivalry and for
|
||||
personal advancement is well illustrated by the array of abuses listed
|
||||
in Sec. 1.6(a). The safety of the abuse of secrecy for the abuser is
|
||||
dependent upon the enforcement of the Section. As abuses spread and
|
||||
become the norm, enforcibility declines and corruption diffuses more
|
||||
rapidly.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>However, diffusive processes take time to spread through an
|
||||
organization, and this makes it possible for secrecy to make a
|
||||
significant contribution to national strength during a crisis. When a
|
||||
new organization is created to respond to an emergency, as for example
|
||||
the scientific organizations created at the start of WWII, the
|
||||
behavior norms of the group recruited may not tolerate the abuse of
|
||||
secrecy for personal advancement or interagency rivalry. In such
|
||||
cases, and for a short time, secrecy may be an effective tactic. The
|
||||
general belief that there is strength in secrecy rests partially on
|
||||
its short-term successes. If we had entered WWII with a well-developed
|
||||
secrecy system and the corruption which would have developed with
|
||||
time, I am convinced that the results would have been quite different.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Secrecy Exacerbates Divisiveness: the SDI Example</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Reagan's Executive Order, previously referred to, provides another
|
||||
clue to the power of openness. The preamble states;</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>It [this order] recognizes that it is essential that the public be
|
||||
informed concerning the activities of its Government, but that the
|
||||
interests of the United States and its citizens require that certain
|
||||
information concerning the national defense and foreign relations be
|
||||
protected against unauthorized disclosure.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The tension in this statement is not resolved in the order. It may be
|
||||
informative to attempt a resolution by considering a concrete example,
|
||||
namely the Strategic Defense Initiative. SDI symbolizes one of the
|
||||
conflicts, clearly exacerbated by secrecy, which currently divide us.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>I would assert that there are unilateral steps toward openness which
|
||||
we could take, and which would leave us more unified and stronger,
|
||||
even if no reciprocal steps were taken by the Soviets. I propose that
|
||||
we start unclassified research programs designed to provide scientific
|
||||
information needed for making public policy. If these programs are
|
||||
uncoupled from classified programs, their emphases would not
|
||||
compromise classified information. Their purpose would be to provide a
|
||||
knowledge base for public policy discussions. These programs would not
|
||||
reveal the decisions taken secretly, but a public knowledge base would
|
||||
reduce the debilitating divisiveness fostered by secrecy.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The Strategic Defense Initiative provides a classic example of
|
||||
debilitating divisiveness. Countermeasures to SDI are deeply
|
||||
classified. The deadly game of countermeasures and
|
||||
countercountermeasures will probably determine whether SDI is
|
||||
successful or a large-scale Maginot Line. At the present time,
|
||||
classification of the countermeasure area trivializes the public
|
||||
debate to a media battle between opposed authorities offering
|
||||
conflicting interpretations of secret information.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>An example of this game is decoying vs. discrimination. If the offense
|
||||
can proliferate a multitude of decoys which cannot be discriminated
|
||||
from warheads by the defense, SDI will not succeed. Knowing a decoy
|
||||
design would of course make it easier for an adversary to discriminate
|
||||
it from a warhead. It is therefore very important that such designs be
|
||||
carefully guarded. On the other hand, maintaining secrecy over the
|
||||
scientific and engineering research basic to the
|
||||
decoying-discrimination technology would, for the reasons discussed
|
||||
earlier, make it much more difficult to provide assurance to the
|
||||
public that all avenues had been explored. Indeed, a substantial part
|
||||
of the criticism of the feasibility of SDI turns on the possibility
|
||||
that an adversary would invent a countermeasure for which we would be
|
||||
unprepared.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The Cryptography Case: Uncoupled Open Programs</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>We can learn something about the efficiency of secret vs. open
|
||||
programs in peacetime from the objections raised by Adm. Bobby R.
|
||||
Inman, former director of the National Security Agency, to open
|
||||
programs in cryptography. NSA, which is a very large and very secret
|
||||
agency, claimed that open programs conducted by a handful of
|
||||
matheticians around the world, who had no access to NSA secrets, would
|
||||
reveal to other countries that their codes were insecure and that such
|
||||
research might lead to codes that even NSA could not break. These
|
||||
objections exhibit NSA's assessment that the best secret efforts, that
|
||||
other countries could mount, would miss techniques which would be
|
||||
revealed by even a small open uncoupled program. If this is true for
|
||||
other countries is it not possible that it also applies to us?</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Inman (1985) asserted that "There is an overlap between technical
|
||||
information and national security which inevitably produces tension.
|
||||
This tension results from the scientists' desire for unrestrained
|
||||
research and publication on the one hand, and the Federal Government's
|
||||
need to protect certain information from potential foreign adversaries
|
||||
who might use that information against this nation.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>I would assert that uncoupled open programs (UOP) in cryptography make
|
||||
America stronger. They provide early warning of the capabilities an
|
||||
adversary might have in breaking our codes. There are many instances
|
||||
where secret bureaucracies have disastrously overestimated the
|
||||
invulnerability of their codes. In this case I see no tension between
|
||||
the national interest and openness. The cryptographers have provided a
|
||||
fine case study in strengthening the weapon of openness.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Consider then the value of starting unclassified, relatively cheap,
|
||||
academic research programs uncoupled from the classified programs.
|
||||
These UOP could provide the more solid information on countermeasures
|
||||
needed for an informed political decision on SDI, just as the open
|
||||
cryptography research has taught us something about the security of
|
||||
our codes. If indeed SDI's critics are right about the opportunities
|
||||
for the invention of countermeasures, then the UOP would provide an
|
||||
opportunity to make a conclusive case. On the other hand if the open
|
||||
programs exhibited that SDI could deal with all the countermeasures
|
||||
suggested and retain its effectiveness, its case would be
|
||||
strengthened.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>These open programs would indeed be shared with the world. They would
|
||||
strengthen the U.S. even if there were no response from the USSR by
|
||||
reducing corruption by secrecy, by improving our decision making, and
|
||||
by reducing our divisiveness. Undertaking such programs would exhibit
|
||||
our commitment to strengthening the weapon of openness. Making that
|
||||
commitment would enable democratic control of military technology.
|
||||
More openness, reducing suspicions in areas where Americans are
|
||||
divided, will do more to increase our military strength by unifying
|
||||
the country and its allies than it could possibly do to increase the
|
||||
military strength of its enemies.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The Weapon of Openness and the Future</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Bohr's phrase which was the keynote of this article was invented in an
|
||||
effort to adapt to the demands for social change required to live with
|
||||
advancing military technology. Unfortunately Bohr's effort, to
|
||||
persuade FDR and Churchhill of the desirability of more openness in
|
||||
living with nuclear weapons, was a complete failure. There can be no
|
||||
doubt that the future will bring even more rapid rates of progress in
|
||||
science-based technology. Let's just mention three possibilities,
|
||||
noting that these are only foreseeable developments and that there
|
||||
will be surprises which, if the past is any guide, will be still more
|
||||
important.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Artificial Intelligence is advancing, driven by its enormous economic
|
||||
potential and its challenge in understanding brain function.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Molecular biology and genetic engineering are creating powers beyond
|
||||
our ability to forecast limits.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Feynman some years ago wrote a paper entitled "There's Plenty of Room
|
||||
at the Bottom" pointing out that miniaturization could aspire to the
|
||||
huge advances possible with the controlled assembly of individual
|
||||
atoms. When the possibility of the construction of assemblers which
|
||||
could reproduce themselves was added by Eric Drexler in his book
|
||||
Engines of Creation, a very large expansion of the opportunities in
|
||||
atomic scale assembly were opened up. This pursuit, today known as
|
||||
nanotechnology, will also be driven by the enormous advantages it
|
||||
affords for health and for human welfare.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>But each of these has possible military uses comparable in impact to
|
||||
that of nuclear weapons. With the aid of the openness provided by
|
||||
satellites and arms control treaties, we have been able to live with
|
||||
nuclear weapons. We will need much more openness to live with the
|
||||
science-based technologies that lie ahead.</p>

BNL - IRAQGATE SCANDAL
|
||||
|
||||
The Chicago Connection - Bush & Saddam Inc.
|
||||
Key documents - sought by Gonzalez - withheld
|
||||
|
||||
With George Bush ready to take America into another war with Iraq to
|
||||
destroy the nuclear, chemical, biological and missiles weapons that Bush
|
||||
himself helped Saddam Hussein to build, Congressmen Henry Gonzalez, the
|
||||
courageous Texas Democrat who heads the House Banking Committee, continues,
|
||||
single-handedly, to peel back layer after layer of cover-up to reveal the
|
||||
monumental proportions of the Iraqgate-BNL (Banca Nazionale Del Lavoro)
|
||||
scandal that now threatens to bring down the Bush regime. But the most
|
||||
explosive documents have been withheld.
|
||||
|
||||
Over the past several months Gonzalez has shown the Iraqgate-
|
||||
BNL scandal to be bigger than anyone had imagined. He has uncovered and
|
||||
reported incontestable evidence that Bush and his associates secretly sold
|
||||
nuclear, biological, chemical and missile-related weapons materials to
|
||||
Saddam Hussein; blocked investigations into the use of such materials by
|
||||
Hussein; suppressed memos warning of the dangers of such sales;
|
||||
deliberately falsified documents on such sales submitted to Congress and
|
||||
interfered illegally to halt investigations into the criminal activities of
|
||||
the BNL bank in secretly diverting American agricultural loans to buy the
|
||||
weapons for Hussein.
|
||||
|
||||
BNL-BCCI Chicago Branches
|
||||
|
||||
Gonzalez has revealed a Bush policy disaster that lead to the first
|
||||
Gulf War and a blunder that is now costing the Americans $2 billion to pay
|
||||
off the loans Bush guaranteed with U.S. taxpayersU money . Bush repeatedly
|
||||
ignored warnings that Iraq would default on the loans. Now, certain key
|
||||
documents - perhaps the most revealing yet - are being withheld from the
|
||||
Gonzalez investigation. They are said to be the records of the Chicago
|
||||
branches of BNL and BCCI (Bank of Credit and Commerce International),
|
||||
through which, some investigators say , George Bush and Saddam Hussein may
|
||||
have been involved in a joint, private enterprise to skim oil profits
|
||||
arising from Reagan-Bush policies toward Iraq. The documents have been
|
||||
impounded by a Chicago court and Congressman Gonzalez Banking Committee
|
||||
has been denied access.
|
||||
Bush's Pennzoil Profits
|
||||
|
||||
Between 1980 and 1990 the Gulf region exported a trillion dollars
|
||||
worth of oil to the West. Hundreds of billions of dollars in kickbacks were
|
||||
involved. Some of the kickbacks were said to be handled by the BNL/BCCI
|
||||
banks for Pennzoil, an oil company founded by George Bush The Pennzoil
|
||||
case was (is?) the target of Ross PerotUs much-denied investigation of the
|
||||
Bush family and friends. Investigators believe the Chicago bank records
|
||||
could help explain BushUs massive, covert military support for Iraq in the
|
||||
years between 1981-1990.
|
||||
|
||||
The Chicago BNL /BCCI records could also provide clues to why the
|
||||
Bush Administration secretly - and possibly illegally - exempted eleven
|
||||
members of the Bush cabinet from conflict of interest restrictions in their
|
||||
handling of the Gulf war policy. Bush simply declared that the law
|
||||
regarding conflict of interest would cease to apply to his advisors on the
|
||||
Gulf war policy. He then ordered that his declaration would be not be made
|
||||
public. Congressman Gonzalez is now asking Bush to explain the deal. Bush
|
||||
has not responded.
|
||||
|
||||
According to some investigators, the BNL-BCCI bank documents
|
||||
now impounded by a Chicago judge could shed light not only on the
|
||||
Iraqgate case, but on other illegal transactions including Iran-Contra,
|
||||
October Surprise and the Inslaw case. In all instances monies passed
|
||||
through the BNL/BCCI banking network.
|
||||
|
||||
BNL is an Italian bank now under investigation by Congress for
|
||||
fraud in using loans from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to finance
|
||||
IraqUs pre-war military buildup. Over the past thirty years, BNL is
|
||||
suspected of involvement in a wide range of international criminal
|
||||
activities. (French Intelligence investigators have even linked the bank to
|
||||
large payments to certain individuals in Europe in late 1963, thought to be
|
||||
associated with the John Kennedy assassination.)
|
||||
|
||||
On December 28th 1990, when Gonzalez sought the records of the
|
||||
Chicago branch of BNL (Case number 90 C 6863 of the U.S. District Court in
|
||||
Chicago: People of the State of Illinois ex re; William C. Harris v. the
|
||||
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), Gonzalez was told by
|
||||
Federal Judge, Brian Duff that he could not have them. Duff, a friend of
|
||||
both Bush and Reagan, works closely with the Federal Reserve Bank. Duff
|
||||
impounded the documents and abused GonzalezU attorney for Rbehaving like an
|
||||
800 -pound gorilla.S That is when Duff impounded the records.
|
||||
|
||||
Questions abound. Suspicions arise from the fact that among
|
||||
officials involved in the BNL bank is Brent Scowcroft, BushUs National
|
||||
Security advisor who, Gonzalez has now revealed, maintained a million-
|
||||
dollar financial interest in 40 of the biggest U.S. weapons companies that
|
||||
profited from U.S. policies toward Iraq, including General Electric,
|
||||
General Motors, ITT, and Lockheed. Gonzalez has also revealed that
|
||||
Assistant Secretary of State Laurence Eagleberger worked closely with BNL
|
||||
when he and Scowcroft were part of Henry KissingerUs consulting firm.
|
||||
Kissinger was a member of the board of BNL and his firm represents BNL in
|
||||
the USA.
|
||||
BNL, P2 and the Vatican Bank
|
||||
|
||||
The BNL bank was also used for secret arms trade by the outlawed P2
|
||||
Masonic Lodge of Rome, whose Grandmaster, Licio Gelli is thought to have
|
||||
been the mastermind behind BNLUs illegal, world-wide banking strategies,
|
||||
until his arrest in 1981, for embezzling $1.5 billion from the Vatican
|
||||
Bank. The Vatican Bank had close ties with BNL. Gelli was recently
|
||||
sentenced to 18 years in jail for his role in the case.
|
||||
|
||||
Gelli was involved with the PopeUs banker and bodyguard, Bishop
|
||||
Marcinkus (formerly of Chicago) in the Vatican Bank embezzlement. When the
|
||||
Italian government issued a warrant for the BishopUs arrest they were
|
||||
blocked by the Vatican, which claims separate city-state authority. (The
|
||||
Pope is still closely involved with Marcinkus and the Vatican Bank is still
|
||||
closely associated with BNL.)
|
||||
|
||||
Bush and Gelli are friends. Gelli was guest of honor at the 1981
|
||||
Reagan-Bush inaugural ball. (N.Y. Times, June 4, 1981, page 7.) Kissinger
|
||||
also knew Gelli. When Gelli was arrested in March, 1981, Kissinger
|
||||
immediately sent an agent to Rome with $18,000 to try to buy some of the
|
||||
documents in the P2 case to keep them from becoming public ( In These
|
||||
Times, Sept. 1982). It may be of interest that P2 had a lodge in Chicago.
|
||||
|
||||
Chicago, it is now emerging, has been the central point for vast,
|
||||
international, illegal transactions involving the BNL and BCCI banks and
|
||||
secret deals with American oil companies, military manufacturers, the CIA,
|
||||
and possibly U.S. politicians. (According to a London source, unreleased
|
||||
BCCI documents in the possession of the Bank of London list the names of
|
||||
at least 105 members of U.S. Congress - of both Houses and both parties -
|
||||
who have received money through the Chicago branch of BCCI. The U.S.
|
||||
Federal Reserve is said to have a copy of the same secret BCCI list).
|
||||
|
||||
The Octopus
|
||||
|
||||
Just as the P2 scandal in Italy brought down the government and
|
||||
destroyed hundred of careers in politics, industry and banking, so too the
|
||||
BNL/BCCI - Penzzoil case could bring down the Bush administration and send
|
||||
dozens of top administration officials to jail. Indeed the P2 and BNL cases
|
||||
overlap in the October Surprise case, and U.S. investigators would do well
|
||||
to examine the Italian government documents in the P2 case as part of their
|
||||
inquiry into the October Surprise/BNL/BCCI/Penzzoil/Bush/Hussein links. It
|
||||
is beginning to look as though the late journalist, Danny Casselaro was on
|
||||
the right track at the time of his highly suspicious RsuicideS last year,
|
||||
when he was investigating what he called RThe OctopusS, a vast,
|
||||
interlocking, international criminal conspiracy.
|
||||
|
||||
Bush's Watergate
|
||||
|
||||
Congress is now calling for the appointment of a Special Prosecutor
|
||||
to investigate the ballooning BNL-Iraqgate case. In his insightful and
|
||||
relentless reporting on the case in The New York Times, William Safire says
|
||||
flatly that BNL will be BushUs Watergate. Saffire is now investigating the
|
||||
Chicago link to the case. (Updates on the case now appear regularly on the
recorded telephone hotlines of controversial Chicago investigator, Sherman
|
||||
Scholnick of the RCommittee to Clean Up the CourtsS, who has spearheaded
|
||||
his own investigation. Call: 312 - 731 1100 & 312- 731 1505 for five-
|
||||
minute recorded updates.)
|
||||
|
||||
When appointed, the Special Prosecutor in the BNL/Iraqgate case
|
||||
should have immediate access to all the records, including the crucial
|
||||
documents now confiscated and impounded by the Chicago court.
|
||||
|
||||
When the truth of the BNL case is finally revealed, the War &
|
||||
Peace foundation believes we will see the extent to which politics around
|
||||
the world
|
||||
have been corrupted by the arms trade. Iraqgate will serve as further
|
||||
evidence of the need for international monitoring by the United Nations of
|
||||
all weapons traffic as a first, essential step toward complete world
|
||||
disarmament.
|
||||
|
||||
Ironically, as we go to press, joint efforts by both houses of
|
||||
Congress in the wake of the Iraqgate revelations to tighten restrictions on
|
||||
the sale of nuclear weapons-related materials to nations like Iraq, Iran
|
||||
and Syria, have provoked a threat of veto by George Bush, who argues that
|
||||
such non- proliferation legislation would mean a loss of business for
|
||||
American nuclear exporters!

<xml><p>THE BOHEMIAN CLUB</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> For two and a half weeks every July, two thousand of the top
|
||||
movers and shakers in business and government attend the Bohemian
|
||||
Club's summer encampment. Although highly selective, the club has
|
||||
a national membership and is among the most prestigious of
|
||||
affiliations in neoconservative circles. Its membership is known
|
||||
to include Ronald Reagan, George Bush, Gerald Ford, William F.
|
||||
Buckley, Jr., Frank Borman, Justin Dart, William Randolph Hearst,
|
||||
Jr., Caspar Weinberger, Charles Percy, George Schultz, Edward
|
||||
Teller, Merv Griffin, and a large proportion of the directors and
|
||||
chief executive officers of the Fortune 1000. Daniel Ludwig, the
|
||||
richest private citizen on earth, is a Bohemian. Conspiracy nuts
|
||||
think the Bohemian Club meets each summer to plot to take over the
|
||||
world. These guys ALREADY run the world.
|
||||
The club's name harkens back to its founding in 1872 by
|
||||
artists and journalists in the Bay Area; the club proper is at 624
|
||||
Taylor Street in San Francisco. The annual summer camp is held at
|
||||
"Bohemian Grove," an isolated site in Sonoma County, California,
|
||||
near the town of Monte Rio. To get there, you cross the bridge
|
||||
over the Russian River and take the second left.
|
||||
Signs warn off trespassers, and the Grove is guarded during
|
||||
the encampment. Visitors must have invitations and sign in and
|
||||
out; cooks and other workers have to wear ID badges. The club (and
|
||||
hired staff) is all male. There are no black Bohemians and just
|
||||
one Asian; the former Philippine president Carlos Romulo.
|
||||
The club does a good job of avoiding publicity, although in
|
||||
1980 Rick Clogher, a writer for MOTHER JONES magazine, managed to
|
||||
slip in to the encampment for four days with the help of an
|
||||
unidentified insider. Brooding over the Grove is a giant rock that
|
||||
looks like an owl. Clogher discovered that the rock is concrete,
|
||||
covered with moss to look natural. The Cremation of Care ritual
|
||||
takes place in front of the owl when, on the first night of camp,
|
||||
robed members burn a doll representing Dull Care.
|
||||
Bohemian Grove includes 122 distinct camps in its 2,700
|
||||
acres. The camps have whimsical names such as Whiskey Flat,
|
||||
Toyland, Owl's Nest, Hill Billies, and Cave Man's, and each one
|
||||
has its own kitchen-bar building -- there is a lot of drinking --
|
||||
and sleeping quarters. The members of some camps sleep in tents;
|
||||
other camps have redwood cabins. Daily "Lakeside Talks" on
|
||||
geopolitical topics are given by prominent speakers, both members
|
||||
and non-members. It is claimed that Richard Nixon and Ronald
|
||||
Reagan conferred during the 1967 encampment, Reagan agreeing not
|
||||
to challenge Nixon for the presidential nomination.
|
||||
The highlight of camp is the Grove play, which is written
|
||||
exclusively for the club. All the female roles are played by men
|
||||
in drag. The 1980 play was an adaptation of the Greek myth of
|
||||
Cronus and Zeus supplemented with fireworks, smoke bombs, and a
|
||||
light show. (One can only wonder if Reagan ever starred in a Grove
|
||||
play. He certainly has more acting experience than most club
|
||||
members.) The polished productions cost the Bohemians as much as
|
||||
$25,000 -- for one performance.</p>

|

<p>Part A:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Lawyers have amassed into a worldwide coalition to dominate the world in the
|
||||
tradition of the Bavarian Illuminati. Back in the 1800's they managed to gain
|
||||
control of Amerika by planting their seeds in the Executive, Legislative, and
|
||||
Judicial branch of U.S. Now separation of powers of the 3 branches exists only
|
||||
on the hemp paper the Constitution was written on. Oh, and they managed to make
|
||||
hemp illegal because their buddies own chemical and logging industries that
|
||||
hemp paper was and can put out of business because it grows 20 times faster,
|
||||
makes better paper, and needs fewer chemicals to process into paper! They
|
||||
turned U.S. politics into a morbid game for money. In 1700's our founders
|
||||
warned us of political parties and hired farmers for presidents who did not use
|
||||
CIA hitmen to topple foreign regimes for private business concerns. (Bush's
|
||||
international construction company builds oil refineries in Saudi Arabia!*!*!)
|
||||
Big brother is nothing more than a four eyed wimp called George with a
|
||||
lust for megabucks. Death to all who oppose the villain - ex-head of the CIA -
|
||||
turned US Pres! But he made a terrible mistake. He called a war on drugs,but
|
||||
his CIA has imported Heroin from Asia for half a century and brought Coke into
|
||||
the US on Air Amerika planes coming back from Contra Arms deliveries in Central
|
||||
Amerika!</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>IMPEACH BUSH NOW - HE'S A DOPE DEALER BETTER YET HANG HIM HIGH FOR TREASON for
|
||||
working in the Cia when they killed Kennedy so they could escalate the Viet

<p>Part B:(Some facts and logical conclusions about lawyers)</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> "AN AMERICAN TYRANNY,"
|
||||
by David C. Morrow:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>LAWYERS MAKE THE LAWS, JUDGE THE LAWS, BREAK THE LAWS, FUDGE THE LAWS
|
||||
----------------> SHOULDN'T THIS CHANGE?
|
||||
Slave owners often helped themselves to their female property and medieval
|
||||
lords showed their ability to dominate and degrade by having serfs' brides
|
||||
spend their wedding nights with them and not the grooms.
|
||||
The California State Bar's Standing Committee on Professional Responsibility
|
||||
and Conduct has recently decided that "a lawyer-client sexual relationship"
|
||||
does not impair the lawyer's ability "to competently perform the legal services
|
||||
required."
|
||||
"A ban on any sexual relationship with a client," the gentlemen of the Bar
|
||||
concluded, "appears overly broad and unnecessary." Like the Alaska Bar
|
||||
Association and, a few years ago, its Oregon counterpart, they ruled it
|
||||
perfectly fine for lawyers to have sex with women (or men) they represent.
|
||||
Much criticism of lawyers has come from men trying to reform divorce laws
|
||||
that give wives at least half a man's property, most of his future income, and
|
||||
child support without enforced visitation. The accusation is that attorneys,
|
||||
in legislative offices deliberately make laws that bribe women to divorce in
|
||||
order to generate cases and that judges, themselves lawyers, assign custody to
|
||||
women because of evidence showing that maternal more than paternal custody
|
||||
results in juvenile delinquency. That divorcees may not enjoy as high a living
|
||||
standard as they anticipate is of no concern to the lawyers.
|
||||
While these observations can be supported by findings of such established
|
||||
researchers as the Kettering Foundation and the FBI Crime report, there are
|
||||
broader implications.
|
||||
Minnesotan R. F. Doyle, while researching the law's abuse of marriage, came
|
||||
across a telling article in the September 17, 1975 "Philadelphia Inquirer".
|
||||
Participants in a Philadelphia Bar Association meeting voted against marijuana
|
||||
decriminalization. No health reasons were cited; instead the prominent attorney
|
||||
A. Charles Peruto said that lawyers needed marijuana cases for personal profit.
|
||||
One need but recall how prostitution, pornography, and other vices are usually
|
||||
tolerated except during election year when incumbents need to demonstrate their
|
||||
"effectiveness" and raise extra revenues while scratching one another's backs.
|
||||
More recently, victims of violent crimes by repeat offenders have begun to
|
||||
speak out against lenient judges and parole boards who do not keep dangerous
|
||||
offenders locked up. Each retrial means money for lawyers, judges and a host of
|
||||
court employees, and who better to guarantee retrials than habitual criminals?</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>"SINCE LAWYERS OCCUPY ALL BRANCHES OF GOVERNMENT,
|
||||
THE SEPARATION OF POWER EXISTS ONLY ON PAPER!!!"</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> To test the lawyer conspiracy theory a few years ago, I sent to various
|
||||
state legislatures for copies of their statistics. While Idaho listed only
|
||||
eight of 105 legislators as lawyers in 1983, I discovered that in Wisconsin,
|
||||
for example, eleven of thirty-one senators and twelve of ninety-nine
|
||||
representatives were attorneys. During that time, seventeen of Alabama's
|
||||
thirty-five senators and eleven of sixty-five representatives were lawyers.
|
||||
The New York State legislature was twenty percent lawyers. Governors, as in
|
||||
Wisconsin, frequently proved to be lawyers.
|
||||
It would seem that since members of the legal fraternity occupy all branches
|
||||
of government, the separation of powers exists only on paper. This enables them
|
||||
to generate cases for profit and the public detriment by making unenforceable
|
||||
laws, encouraging repeat offenders as long as possible, and appealing to greed
|
||||
to keep families - and thereby society in general - in disorder. Perhaps,
|
||||
indeed, most of America's problems are due less to mysterious sociological
|
||||
factors than to sly legal machinations.
|
||||
In their zeal to publicly approve their own sexual misbehavior, what lawyers
|
||||
are really doing is, like slave owners or medieval lords, sneering down at the
|
||||
rest of us from their pinnacle and flaunting their privileges in the most
|
||||
degrading and insulting manner. They are also engaging in behavior that causes
|
||||
social change, especially change of ruling classes. It is the signal to take
|
||||
actions to eliminate their tyranny.
|
||||
We should exclude attorneys from all legislative and executive positions.
|
||||
Office holders can hire or appoint legal advisers. Judges should be elected,
|
||||
since appointment, especially by professional peers, would be perverted to
|
||||
favor persons who work to advance their profession and not to secure justice
|
||||
and social stability. Rather than campaigning, judges should have to publish
|
||||
their decisions and sentences with complete explanations in ordinary language,
|
||||
and this information alone should be the basis of the voters' decision to
|
||||
re-elect or turn them out of office. Since they enjoy immunity from prosecution
|
||||
for wrongful decisions, judges' punishments for crimes committed while in
|
||||
office should be extremely severe.
|
||||
With these and other measures that may be found useful, we can enter the next
|
||||
century with few social problems, a very high standard of public morality, and
|
||||
with crimes violent and victimless under a functional measure of control.</p>

|
||||
|
||||
<p>Part C:(Some more facts about lawyers and Mr. CIA dude(G.BUSH!))</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>In the early 1800's, the professional politicians took over this country and
|
||||
public office went from "A duty and a privilege" to a profession. A
|
||||
professional politician must be a master of words. A lawyer's rhetoric is as
|
||||
effective as a 357 magnum. Who better to pull off the bloodless coup. Or has it
|
||||
been blood-less? The civil war devastated the north, the south, and the blacks
|
||||
had to go to work in polluted northern factories for pennies a day afterwards
|
||||
(quite handy however for the northern industrial imperialists.) Then the
|
||||
bluecoats killed off the Indians and the buffalo to boot! Then came Korea, Nam,
|
||||
Graneda, Nicaragua, Panama, El Salvador, Kuwait.
|
||||
Around 1903 a New York oil baron had Nikolai Tesla thrown out of N.Y.
|
||||
(Tesla was a super inventer of such things as AC current and the Westinghouse
|
||||
electric motor!) It seems Tesla had discovered a way to transmit electricity
|
||||
without wires around NY city! The oilmen knew it would be an end to their
|
||||
gross profiteering from energy manipulation and tossed Nik outta there!
|
||||
A book called "The Emperor Wears No Clothes" documents how hemp was
|
||||
needed to win world wars, but soon after became illegal after oil, logging and
|
||||
chemical companies realized hemp made better paper with less petro-chemicals
|
||||
and converted to alcohol easily with extremely high energy per kilo of biomass!
|
||||
(Cars can run on alcohol just as easily as gas-I know-I raced cars & planes!)
|
||||
"The Origin of Consciousness In the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind" by
|
||||
Dr. Julian Jaynes of Princeton U., shows in his book how leaders of the world
|
||||
have confused us for thousands of years with rhetoric, mysticism, music, &
|
||||
theology, so as to better manipulate and tax the poor masses.
|
||||
Then there was the carburetor invented in the 70's that got 100 MPG. All
|
||||
of a sudden a major U.S. company bought the patent rights to the carb and
|
||||
locked it away. Think of the pollution we now have that we could have avoided
|
||||
if a handful of greedy politicians and oilmen didn't want all of the excess
|
||||
wealth their oil businesses have afforded them at the cost of our health!
|
||||
And Bush is an Oil Refinery Contractor from Texas! Remember, the place
|
||||
where LBJ, Carlos Marcello, and the CIA had Kennedy shot. Oh, but Bush was in
|
||||
the CIA! Oh and Bush became the head of the CIA - the same folks that killed
|
||||
JFK to escalate war and drug profits in NAM. A book "The politics of Heroin in
|
||||
South East Asia" documents the CIA's selling of narcotics to fund operations.
|
||||
So does the Book "The American Heroin Empire". HOT NEW BOOK ON DRUGWAR SCAM &
|
||||
COUNTERINSUGENCY IS CALLED "DEEP COVER" BY MICHAEL LEVINE - GET IT NOW!!!!!!!!!
|
||||
Garrison's book, "On the trail of Assassins" shows how Oswall was indeed also a
|
||||
CIA agent. Lucky for the CIA & FBI that Oswald died soon after, along with over
|
||||
a dozen very important witnessess and suspects who perished for unexplainably
|
||||
weird reasons within a year of JFK's murder. (And David Scheim's book "Contract
|
||||
On America" provides the evidence showing how Mafia chiefs like Marcello worked
|
||||
together with the CIA to murder JFK, Robert Kennedy(he prosecuted MOB Bosses
|
||||
as JFK's Attorney General), Martin Luther King and Malcom X(these two were
|
||||
begining to expose the facts that the CIA/MOB drug dealers were taking all the
|
||||
money from the poor people they sold narcotics to!))
|
||||
But Bush wants a drug war? But his CIA sells drugs(hard narcotics). Let
|
||||
us impeach Bush for accessory to a felony to import narcotics(He knew about it)
|
||||
Or impeach him for accessory to JFK's treasonous murder.(It is supreme high
|
||||
treason to withhold knowledge of a conspiracy to kill a U.S. President - and
|
||||
treason carries the death penalty!)
|
||||
Hoover ran the FBI at the time the killing and helped the coverup. Such
|
||||
twisted justice can be found described in Turner's book, "Hoover's FBI."
|
||||
Ex-CIA agents have written books like "The CIA File" and "Deadly Deceits" which
|
||||
further documents the ruthless activities of drug smuggling and crime by
|
||||
the CIA abroad and at home. (U.S. law strictly forbids CIA operation in U.S.)
|
||||
"The Cocaine Wars" explains that the CIA now imports South American Cocaine
|
||||
into U.S. The Mafias do too, but then they also work for the CIA in many areas
|
||||
like drug smuggling, assassinations, and other clandistine, cloak and dagger
|
||||
dirty work no longer needed in the global world of the nineties!
|
||||
According to the book "Poisoning for Profit," by Block and Scarpitti, the
|
||||
Mafias basically own the nations waste disposal companies and have dumped toxic
|
||||
waste illegally into U.S. water supplies for decades. If the CIA and the Mafia
|
||||
work together, then who is committing crimes against the U.S. now?
|
||||
I would say that the Bush/Oil/CIA/Mafia connection poses the most threat
|
||||
to U.S. national security for choking US with oil pollution in Air and Water,
|
||||
killing our presidents, poisoning our water with toxic waste, and getting our
|
||||
kids hooked on Smack, Coke and Crack - and all for their love of $.
|
||||
Hell, these guys make the KGB look about as dangerous as a Cub Scout Pack
|
||||
loaded with water balloons!
|
||||
But these same guys control the news services too! No one ever hears any
|
||||
of this. But then no one reads non-fiction books any more either! These books
|
||||
are all available at a good college or city library to read for free! Just when
|
||||
Iraq grabbed the headlines months ago, the Gannett news agency reported in a
|
||||
small article that mostly Texans including G.Bush received over 500,000 bucks
|
||||
from failing S&L's. Great smokescreen(sandscreen) George! </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Oh, and Bush is a life member of the "Skull and Crossbones Club" which is
|
||||
the American equivalent of the Bavarian Illuminati - the motto of which falls
|
||||
along the lines of "secrecy or death!" These secret sects were formed by
|
||||
Lawyers as far back as 1776 to dominate, manipulate and tax the masses!</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Part D(Conclusion:)
|
||||
We the people could all have 2 day work weeks if $.60 out of every $1.00 we
|
||||
spend did not pay for energy costs they have assessed us soley for their own
|
||||
gains-this alone is multiple felony counts of interstate fraud/mail fraud by
|
||||
Bush & Company. (CIA, & Logging, Oil, Chemical & Financial Industries!)
|
||||
I propose a new order, not of imperfect, selfish, egotistical humans, but of
|
||||
and through microprocessors. These machines would not rule the world as most
|
||||
would expect, but would just aid in applying logic to the production of
|
||||
solutions to the race's survival.
|
||||
Data on natural resources, human resources, pollution, et cetera, would be
|
||||
inputed into a program written in Basic language, open to anyone's inspection,
|
||||
that would give a committee of non-lawyers/oilmen logical options to take in
|
||||
handling the affairs of the people. Data input into the Basic interpreter by
|
||||
the committee would be available to all citizens to duplicate and certify the
|
||||
committees results.
|
||||
If the program can be run on anyone's PC, then everyone with a PC could
|
||||
verify the results the committee obtained so as to make sure that the committee
|
||||
was not exceeding its own authority. The committee would have to post input
|
||||
data in newspapers for each problem entered, to allow citizens to duplicate the
|
||||
committee's findings. If the committee obtained results that differed with the
|
||||
people's results, the committee would be subject to an audit of their hardware
|
||||
and software systems until the reason was determined that they obtained
|
||||
different solutions. This would eliminate the possibility for a virus to be
|
||||
injected into their system and would eliminate the criminal elements from
|
||||
tampering with our government for their own personal gains!
|
||||
With such a system, we no longer would have the personal conflicts of
|
||||
interest that we presently have with our leaders who are so economically tied
|
||||
to world events and whose "solutions" are now tainted by such events.</p>

<p>HOW POLITICIANS/ILLUNINATI USE MAFIAS TO DO THERE DIRTY WORK:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>"CONTRACT ON AMERICA" =superexpose on mob/cia/illuminati JFK,King,Malcm X hits!</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Well go to a good bookstore and aquire the book "Contract On America" by
|
||||
David E Scheim. Paperback versions have 624 pages and cost 4.95 US bux.
|
||||
This is probably the best single source on "the conspiracy" by our governent
|
||||
to work with the Mob to take over the U.S.A. and run it for their personal
|
||||
profit.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Chapter 21 "More Assassinations"
|
||||
Documents how the Mob killed Martin Luther/Malcom X because the two had
|
||||
begun to expose how much the Mob profitted off of ghetto Blacks by
|
||||
selling drugs to the poor People!</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Chapter 22 "Richard Nixon and the Mob."
|
||||
This chapter documents a multitude of conections between Nixon and
|
||||
the Mob/Hoffa/Teamsters/and relatives of such.
|
||||
(in my opinion, Nixon was one of the fuckin greasyest, slimyest, scum
|
||||
buckets who pretended to work for the People as a "politician" -
|
||||
- next to Rea-gun and Bush-wacker of course!)</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Chapter 23 "The Reagan Administration"</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Obviously deals with CIA/Mob connections that Reagan and his cronies like
|
||||
G.Bush had in those 8 years of blood sucking!</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>And now for a quote from page 257 of "Contract On America" (read it and weep)</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> "Organized crime involves itself in the life of every single human being.
|
||||
It causes prices to be raised; it affects your pocketbook when you go to a
|
||||
laundry or dry cleaner; the price you pay for food in the market. I have
|
||||
been involved in and know of bad meat being purchased, unfit for human
|
||||
consumption, that has been converted into salami in delicatessens and
|
||||
forced to be sold through grocery stores...
|
||||
When I testified about Mr DeCarlo, I, too, had the native feel of what
|
||||
organized crime was.
|
||||
I saw photographs of graves dug in New Jersey, with over 35 bodies over
|
||||
a period of years, melted with lye. I sat and heard the voices at dinner
|
||||
talking over murdering a 12-year-old child and burying bodies in New Jersey...
|
||||
Narcotics, manipulation of businesses that cause prices to spiral, we can
|
||||
go on for a long, long time. . . .It goes on and on.</p>

|
||||
in 1973 before a U.S. Senate committee"</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>BUSH & THE MOB:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>page 594 states "Gelli is also "very well aquainted with Vice-President-Bush."
|
||||
(in Mobese this translates to "the two fuckin worked together")</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>page367 states "On August 2, 1980, as resort-bound Italian and foreign tourists
|
||||
crowded Italy's Bologna R.R. station, a massive bomb ripped through a waiting
|
||||
room. The explosion left 85 dead and 200 others injured. It was the worst
|
||||
terrorist strike in postwar Europe....
|
||||
....Another defendent in the pending trial(on the bombing) is P2
|
||||
grandmaster Licio Gelli, now a fugitive believed to be hiding in S Amerika.
|
||||
In 1981, shortly before fleeing multiple criminal indictments, Gelli had
|

been an honored guest at Reagan's inaugural ball...
|

...when police raided Gelli's villa in 1981...they found an exchange of

letters between Gelli and Guarino discussing ways to help "our brother
|
||||
Michele," refering to Sindona, another P2 member. Sindona, who had curried the
|
||||
Italian-American vote for Nixon as Guarino did for Reagan, was then on trial
|
||||
in New York. Gelli also wrote a letter of support to Reagan offering to ensure
|
||||
favorable coverage for him in the Italian press. The powerful Italian used his
|
||||
infuence in a major publishing empire to do exactly that....
|
||||
....the president(Reagan-Bush) has countenanced the use of unsavory
|
||||
partnerships and methods to further a political agenda. Moreover, two policy
|
||||
developments of his presidency find disturbing counterparts in Mob ideology and
|
||||
perhaps reflect traces of the Mob's insidious, post-assassination influence on:
|
||||
1) A classic mob scam is to assume control of a thriving business and drain
|
||||
its wealth through massive loans based on its previoously good finacial
|
||||
standing. During Reagan's 2 terms, Amerikans have been steered along in an orgy
|
||||
of consumption that has tripled the national debt from $645 billion to
|
||||
$2 trillion and turned the world's largest creditor nation into the world's
|
||||
largest debtor.
|
||||
2) Organized crime's "ultimate solution to everything is to kill somebody,"
|
||||
as one defector observed. During the early years of Reagan's presidency,
|
||||
military force became the prime instrument of U.S. foreign policy. Patterned
|
||||
after a percieved Soviet menace and financed by the ballooning deficit, the
|
||||
biggest peacetime weapons buildup in U.S. history was conducted. This obsessive
|
||||
reliance on weaponry was no better exhibited than in the 1985 covert U.S. arms
|
||||
sale to Iran - obstensibly a good-will gesture - while that nation was known
|
||||
to be sponsoring terrorism against Amerikan citizens."</p>

<p>ILLUMINATI DIRECTLY LINKED TO CURRENT WORLD EVENTS BY VICTORY CHART:</p>
|

|

<p>Hell, I'm Jewish, but it sure as hell to me looks like international
|
||||
banking is a Religious plot to rule the world. After all, the
|
||||
major International Banks are owned by three Jewish families, the
|
||||
Rosenthauls, the Rockefellers, and the Rothschilds! New York City was
|
||||
owned by 'em until the Japs bought them out! Read a book by a former
|
||||
Moussad operative(Israeli SS) called "Moussad" to become more enlightened about
|
||||
this matter! And order the best single source on the Illuminati for *FREE*
|

||||
|
||||
<p> VICTORY BAPTIST CHURCH

||||

|
||||
EAST MOLINE, IL 61244 </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>(Summary of just one-hundredth of the chart is found at end of this document.)</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Jayne's book and I&O Publishing out of Boulder City Nevada will illustrate that
|
||||
whenever a bunch of religious fanatics do something, they ruin things for all
|
||||
others. Take the Pope's overpopulation of the earth for example, or the
|
||||
crusades, or the Koran's evil followers in Arabia. Every time We the People
|
||||
are left holding the bag naked. I say lets drop the bag in the dumpster. Ditch
|
||||
religion forever and think for yourself damn-it! I only include this church
|
||||
literature cause they are involved with the Freedom Movement who, yes, are a
|
||||
little fanatical, but they are the only ones around who will stand up to
|
||||
the B.S. that has suppressed so many others, and are the only ones who dare
|
||||
expose the Illuminati and live to talk about it!</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>NOW FOR THE SUM OF A MAN'S KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE ILLUMINATI:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>These folks are more secret than Moussad(the Israeli SS) who is the
|
||||
undisputed ultimate "secret agent men/women" experts of the world.
|
||||
Therefore, you will find no reliable sources of information on them.
|
||||
|
||||
They like to frequent Swiss chalets and spend their loot on good
|
||||
spirits and women. Oh, they do not have women for members.
|
||||
|
||||
Their associates are in international banking and are world leaders of
|
||||
organized crime. But they are not ever necessarily top world leaders or
|
||||
top CEO's, but they completely influence the major decisions of most
|
||||
multinational companies and world leaders.
|
||||
|
||||
They are always there but you never see them:
|
||||
|
||||
Once, at a coffee shop in an affluent Denver 'burb in the foothills, I ran
|
||||
across a man of this general authority. With a German accent, he had told
|
||||
me that if I were to sit at a table, I was to buy coffee, but he did not
|
||||
work there. He wore a $2,000 Swiss pilot's chronometer on one wrist. His
|
||||
clothes cost at least half of the watch and he wasn't wearing a suit!
|
||||
We were just waiting for the rain to stop and I could not believe my ears
|
||||
when he tried to shoo me away from my dry spot under the curbside table's
|
||||
canvas awning. I thought carefully and then replied something to the likes
|
||||
of "The Illuminati would always like for me to be recirculating my money
|
||||
back into their economic system of manipulation."
|
||||
|
||||
As soon as I said this, never mind the weather, he took off. He was a
|
||||
strong 50 year old Aryan, about 6'1", 200lbs, to my 5'11", 150lbs
|
||||
but he looked extremely agitated before he left. I could tell he was not
|
||||
physically scared of me. In fact, he knew all too well what I was saying about
|
||||
the global economic policies of his "associates" in the Illuminati. You see,
|
||||
they have so effectively cut off information about even their existence, that
|
||||
it will damn near give one of them vapor lock if you call their hand!
|
||||
(Notice that Europe houses the ultimate banks next to Bavaria on Swiss soil,
|
||||
and note how the Swiss are given International Neutrality to boot so that
|
||||
the Secret accounts will be safe and stable! I would wager a month of Sundays
|
||||
that money in a Swiss account is backed by real gold too!)
|
||||
|
||||
Bush belongs to the "Skull and Crossbones Club" which is the American
|
||||
Equivalent of the Illuninati. You have to study at Yale and be in a family that
|
||||
is part of the old boy system and then you might get in. It is highly secret,
|
||||
but really is much more well known than the Illuminati. It exists to perpetuate
|
||||
the existence of the old boys in Amerika, much as the Illuminati does the same
|
||||
in Europe.
|
||||
|
||||
Amazingly, the only reference to the Illuminati that I have ever seen other
|
||||
than in a few paper back books on mysticism called the Trilogy which actually
|
||||
are probably right 50% of the time, was in the Unabridged Webster's Dictionary,
|
||||
where all it dares say is that they were "the members of an anticlerical,
|
||||
deistic, republican society founded in 1776 by Adam Weishaupt, professor of
|
||||
law at Ingolstadt in Bavaria. It was suppressed by the Bavarian government in
|
||||
1785: called also the Order of the Illuminati."
|
||||
|
||||
I suppose they had to go deep undercover, much more so than even the Mafia.
|
||||
This might explain the agitation I evoked in the fellow!
|
||||
|
||||
It might be fun to know more about these fellow, but you now know all you
|
||||
need to know, except their names. Search and destroy! </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The Illuminati was formed by the creme de la creme of Europe's most powerful
|
||||
aristocrats to perpetuate its iron grip on the peasants, to maintain the status
|
||||
quo, to keep the rich rich, and the poor masses poor.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>J.Jaynes book, "The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown Of the Bicameral
|
||||
Mind," explains how for thousands of years, the masses have been hypnotized
|
||||
into not thinking for themselves by Illuminati like leaders who use mysticism,
|
||||
religion, music and propaganda to accomplish this. A person can still do very
|
||||
hard organized work for these manipulators and actually still not ever think in
|
||||
a non-bicameral or enlightened state of mind. This has allowed the world's
|
||||
sadistic, oppressive leaders to screw us for 1000's of years.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>It appears that the illuminati had penetrated U.S. government from the
|
||||
beginning. The Illuminati was formed in 1776 by a lawyer in Bavaria.
|
||||
These esquires snaked their way into the womb of Amerika from the getgo!
|
||||
I find it revolting and an infinite slap in the face to see lawyers' own symbol
|
||||
of economic repression on the very money we get shafted for by these leach
|
||||
lawyers daily. </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>(In 1776 The European Economic Community (the aristocracy) worried quite
|
||||
a bit when WE told England to get the Hell outta here, so naturally they
|
||||
regrouped and formed the Illuminati to deal with US and prevent future colonies
|
||||
from being so eager to toss the king's tea taxes overboard!)</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>ACCORDING TO THE RISE AND POWER OF THE INTERNATIONAL BANKERS CHART:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Beginning in 1795, five of the Rothschild's sons were sent to five different
|
||||
European countries, were the Illuminati/World Banker scam started to spread
|
||||
in Germany, Vienna, England, Italy, and France. This put them in the top five
|
||||
countries, where they soon rose to positions of immense power and influence.
|
||||
Thus the manipulation of global affairs began!</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The 10 commandments of the Illuminati are:
|
||||
1 - Abolish land ownership.
|
||||
2 - Taxation of the people.
|
||||
3 - Abolish all rights of inheritance.
|
||||
4 - Confiscate lands and properties of all rebels.
|
||||
5 - Centralize credit - Create National banks.
|
||||
6 - Control transportation and communication.
|
||||
7 - State owned factories.
|
||||
8 - Equal liability of all to labor.
|
||||
9 - Distribution of the population.
|
||||
10 - Free education to all in "public" schools.
|
||||
(Sounds like bigbro ta me, Booboo!)</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The chart shows that in 1798 the following 3 things occurred:
|
||||
1 - Washington warned of the danger of the Illuminati.
|
||||
2 - Jefferson wrote to John Adams stating that he agreed with
|
||||
him that the international bankers were more powerful and
|
||||
dangerous than standing armies.
|
||||
3 - Professor John Robinson exposed it in his book, " PROOFS OF
|
||||
A CONSPIRACY."</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>And then in 1836, Andrew Jackson abolished the central bank. If this
|
||||
measure had not been taken, America would have fallen to the
|
||||
International bankers at this time.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>NOTE: the last 40 lines were 1% of the data on the chart showing the
|
||||
Illuminati's links and activities as "Control," which appears
|
||||
to be their new name. Get the damn chart - I don't care what
|
||||
you think of Baptists, these folks are just helping us now!

<p> The Bill of Rights, a Status Report
|
||||
by Eric Postpischil</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> 4 September 1990</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> 6 Hamlett Drive, Apt. 17
|
||||
Nashua, NH 03062</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> edp@jareth.enet.dec.com</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> How many rights do you have? You should check, because it
|
||||
might not be as many today as it was a few years ago, or
|
||||
even a few months ago. Some people I talk to are not
|
||||
concerned that police will execute a search warrant without
|
||||
knocking or that they set up roadblocks and stop and
|
||||
interrogate innocent citizens. They do not regard these as
|
||||
great infringements on their rights. But when you put
|
||||
current events together, there is information that may be
|
||||
surprising to people who have not yet been concerned: The
|
||||
amount of the Bill of Rights that is under attack is
|
||||
alarming.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Let's take a look at the Bill of Rights and see which
|
||||
aspects are being pushed on or threatened. The point here
|
||||
is not the degree of each attack or its rightness or
|
||||
wrongness, but the sheer number of rights that are under
|
||||
attack.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Amendment I</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Congress shall make no law respecting an
|
||||
establishment of religion, or prohibiting the
|
||||
free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom
|
||||
of speech, or of the press; or the right of the
|
||||
people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the
|
||||
Government for a redress of grievances.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> ESTABLISHING RELIGION: While campaigning for his first
|
||||
term, George Bush said "I don't know that atheists should
|
||||
be considered as citizens, nor should they be considered
|
||||
patriots." Bush has not retracted, commented on, or
|
||||
clarified this statement, in spite of requests to do so.
|
||||
According to Bush, this is one nation under God. And
|
||||
apparently if you are not within Bush's religious beliefs,
|
||||
you are not a citizen. Federal, state, and local
|
||||
governments also promote a particular religion (or,
|
||||
occasionally, religions) by spending public money on
|
||||
religious displays.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> FREE EXERCISE OF RELIGION: Robert Newmeyer and Glenn
|
||||
Braunstein were jailed in 1988 for refusing to stand in
|
||||
respect for a judge. Braunstein says the tradition of
|
||||
rising in court started decades ago when judges entered
|
||||
carrying Bibles. Since judges no longer carry Bibles,
|
||||
Braunstein says there is no reason to stand -- and his
|
||||
Bible tells him to honor no other God. For this religious
|
||||
practice, Newmeyer and Braunstein were jailed and are now
|
||||
suing.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> FREE SPEECH: We find that technology has given the
|
||||
government an excuse to interfere with free speech.
|
||||
Claiming that radio frequencies are a limited resource, the
|
||||
government tells broadcasters what to say (such as news and
|
||||
public and local service programming) and what not to say
|
||||
(obscenity, as defined by the Federal Communications
|
||||
Commission [FCC]). The FCC is investigating Boston PBS
|
||||
station WGBH-TV for broadcasting photographs from the
|
||||
Mapplethorpe exhibit.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> FREE SPEECH: There are also laws to limit political
|
||||
statements and contributions to political activities. In
|
||||
1985, the Michigan Chamber of Commerce wanted to take out
|
||||
an advertisement supporting a candidate in the state house
|
||||
of representatives. But a 1976 Michigan law prohibits a
|
||||
corporation from using its general treasury funds to make
|
||||
independent expenditures in a political campaign. In
|
||||
March, the Supreme Court upheld that law. According to
|
||||
dissenting Justice Kennedy, it is now a felony in Michigan
|
||||
for the Sierra Club, the American Civil Liberties Union, or
|
||||
the Chamber of Commerce to advise the public how a
|
||||
candidate voted on issues of urgent concern to their
|
||||
members.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> FREE PRESS: As in speech, technology has provided another
|
||||
excuse for government intrusion in the press. If you
|
||||
distribute a magazine electronically and do not print
|
||||
copies, the government doesn't consider you a press and
|
||||
does not give you the same protections courts have extended
|
||||
to printed news. The equipment used to publish Phrack, a
|
||||
worldwide electronic magazine about phones and hacking, was
|
||||
confiscated after publishing a document copied from a Bell
|
||||
South computer entitled "A Bell South Standard Practice
|
||||
(BSP) 660-225-104SV Control Office Administration of
|
||||
Enhanced 911 Services for Special Services and Major
|
||||
Account Centers, March, 1988." All of the information in
|
||||
this document was publicly available from Bell South in
|
||||
other documents. The government has not alleged that the
|
||||
publisher of Phrack, Craig Neidorf, was involved with or
|
||||
participated in the copying of the document. Also, the
|
||||
person who copied this document from telephone company
|
||||
computers placed a copy on a bulletin board run by Rich
|
||||
Andrews. Andrews forwarded a copy to AT&T officials and
|
||||
cooperated with authorities fully. In return, the Secret
|
||||
Service (SS) confiscated Andrews' computer along with all
|
||||
the mail and data that were on it. Andrews was not charged
|
||||
with any crime.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> FREE PRESS: In another incident that would be comical if
|
||||
it were not true, on March 1 the SS ransacked the offices
|
||||
of Steve Jackson Games (SJG); irreparably damaged property;
|
||||
and confiscated three computers, two laser printers,
|
||||
several hard disks, and many boxes of paper and floppy
|
||||
disks. The target of the SS operation was to seize all
|
||||
copies of a game of fiction called GURPS Cyberpunk. The
|
||||
Cyberpunk game contains fictitious break-ins in a
|
||||
futuristic world, with no technical information of actual
|
||||
use with real computers, nor is it played on computers.
|
||||
The SS never filed any charges against SJG but still
|
||||
refused to return confiscated property.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> PEACEABLE ASSEMBLY: The right to assemble peaceably is no
|
||||
longer free -- you have to get a permit. Even that is not
|
||||
enough; some officials have to be sued before they realize
|
||||
their reasons for denying a permit are not Constitutional.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> PEACEABLE ASSEMBLY: In Alexandria, Virginia, there is a
|
||||
law that prohibits people from loitering for more than
|
||||
seven minutes and exchanging small objects. Punishment is
|
||||
two years in jail. Consider the scene in jail: "What'd
|
||||
you do?" "I was waiting at a bus stop and gave a guy a
|
||||
cigarette." This is not an impossible occurrence: In
|
||||
Pittsburgh, Eugene Tyler, 15, has been ordered away from
|
||||
bus stops by police officers. Sherman Jones, also 15, was
|
||||
accosted with a police officer's hands around his neck
|
||||
after putting the last bit of pizza crust into his mouth.
|
||||
The police suspected him of hiding drugs.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> PETITION FOR REDRESS OF GRIEVANCES: Rounding out the
|
||||
attacks on the first amendment, there is a sword hanging
|
||||
over the right to petition for redress of grievances.
|
||||
House Resolution 4079, the National Drug and Crime
|
||||
Emergency Act, tries to "modify" the right to habeas
|
||||
corpus. It sets time limits on the right of people in
|
||||
custody to petition for redress and also limits the courts
|
||||
in which such an appeal may be heard.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Amendment II</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the
|
||||
security of a free State, the right of the people
|
||||
to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS: This amendment is so commonly
|
||||
challenged that the movement has its own name: gun
|
||||
control. Legislation banning various types of weapons is
|
||||
supported with the claim that the weapons are not for
|
||||
"legitimate" sporting purposes. This is a perversion of
|
||||
the right to bear arms for two reasons. First, the basis
|
||||
of freedom is not that permission to do legitimate things
|
||||
is granted to the people, but rather that the government is
|
||||
empowered to do a limited number of legitimate things --
|
||||
everything else people are free to do; they do not need to
|
||||
justify their choices. Second, should the need for defense
|
||||
arise, it will not be hordes of deer that the security of a
|
||||
free state needs to be defended from. Defense would be
|
||||
needed against humans, whether external invaders or
|
||||
internal oppressors. It is an unfortunate fact of life
|
||||
that the guns that would be needed to defend the security
|
||||
of a state are guns to attack people, not guns for sporting
|
||||
purposes.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Firearms regulations also empower local officials, such as
|
||||
police chiefs, to grant or deny permits. This results in
|
||||
towns where only friends of people in the right places are
|
||||
granted permits, or towns where women are generally denied
|
||||
the right to carry a weapon for self-defense.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Amendment III</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered
|
||||
in any house, without the consent of the Owner,
|
||||
nor in time of war, but in a manner to be
|
||||
prescribed by law.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> QUARTERING SOLDIERS: This amendment is fairly clean so
|
||||
far, but it is not entirely safe. Recently, 200 troops in
|
||||
camouflage dress with M-16s and helicopters swept through
|
||||
Kings Ridge National Forest in Humboldt County, California.
|
||||
In the process of searching for marijuana plants for four
|
||||
days, soldiers assaulted people on private land with M-16s
|
||||
and barred them from their own property. This might not be
|
||||
a direct hit on the third amendment, but the disregard for
|
||||
private property is uncomfortably close.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Amendment IV</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> The right of the people to be secure in their
|
||||
persons, houses, papers and effects, against
|
||||
unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be
|
||||
violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon
|
||||
probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation,
|
||||
and particularly describing the place to be
|
||||
searched, and the persons or things to be seized.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> RIGHT TO BE SECURE IN PERSONS, HOUSES, PAPERS AND EFFECTS
|
||||
AGAINST UNREASONABLE SEARCHES AND SEIZURES: The RICO law
|
||||
is making a mockery of the right to be secure from seizure.
|
||||
Entire stores of books or videotapes have been confiscated
|
||||
based upon the presence of some sexually explicit items.
|
||||
Bars, restaurants, or houses are taken from the owners
|
||||
because employees or tenants sold drugs. In Volusia
|
||||
County, Florida, Sheriff Robert Vogel and his officers stop
|
||||
automobiles for contrived violations. If large amounts of
|
||||
cash are found, the police confiscate it on the PRESUMPTION
|
||||
that it is drug money -- even if there is no other evidence
|
||||
and no charges are filed against the car's occupants. The
|
||||
victims can get their money back only if they prove the
|
||||
money was obtained legally. One couple got their money
|
||||
back by proving it was an insurance settlement. Two other
|
||||
men who tried to get their two thousand dollars back were
|
||||
denied by the Florida courts.
|
||||
|
||||
RIGHT TO BE SECURE IN PERSONS, HOUSES, PAPERS AND EFFECTS
|
||||
AGAINST UNREASONABLE SEARCHES AND SEIZURES: A new law goes
|
||||
into effect in Oklahoma on January 1, 1991. All property,
|
||||
real and personal, is taxable, and citizens are required to
|
||||
list all their personal property for tax assessors,
|
||||
including household furniture, gold and silver plate,
|
||||
musical instruments, watches, jewelry, and personal,
|
||||
private, or professional libraries. If a citizen refuses
|
||||
to list their property or is suspected of not listing
|
||||
something, the law directs the assessor to visit and enter
|
||||
the premises, getting a search warrant if necessary. Being
|
||||
required to tell the state everything you own is not being
|
||||
secure in one's home and effects.
|
||||
|
||||
NO WARRANTS SHALL ISSUE, BUT UPON PROBABLE CAUSE, SUPPORTED
|
||||
BY OATH OR AFFIRMATION: As a supporting oath or
|
||||
affirmation, reports of anonymous informants are accepted.
|
||||
This practice has been condoned by the Supreme Court.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> PARTICULARLY DESCRIBING THE PLACE TO BE SEARCHED AND
|
||||
PERSONS OR THINGS TO BE SEIZED: Today's warrants do not
|
||||
particularly describe the things to be seized -- they list
|
||||
things that might be present. For example, if police are
|
||||
making a drug raid, they will list weapons as things to be
|
||||
searched for and seized. This is done not because the
|
||||
police know of any weapons and can particularly describe
|
||||
them, but because they allege people with drugs often have
|
||||
weapons.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Both of the above apply to the warrant the Hudson, New
|
||||
Hampshire, police used when they broke down Bruce Lavoie's
|
||||
door at 5 a.m. with guns drawn and shot and killed him.
|
||||
The warrant claimed information from an anonymous
|
||||
informant, and it said, among other things, that guns were
|
||||
to be seized. The mention of guns in the warrant was used
|
||||
as reason to enter with guns drawn. Bruce Lavoie had no
|
||||
guns. Bruce Lavoie was not secure from unreasonable search
|
||||
and seizure -- nor is anybody else.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Other infringements on the fourth amendment include
|
||||
roadblocks and the Boston Police detention of people based
|
||||
on colors they are wearing (supposedly indicating gang
|
||||
membership). And in Pittsburgh again, Eugene Tyler was
|
||||
once searched because he was wearing sweat pants and a
|
||||
plaid shirt -- police told him they heard many drug dealers
|
||||
at that time were wearing sweat pants and plaid shirts.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Amendment V</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> No person shall be held to answer for a capital,
|
||||
or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a
|
||||
presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except
|
||||
in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or
|
||||
in the Militia, when in actual service in time of
|
||||
War or public danger; nor shall any person be
|
||||
subject to the same offence to be twice put in
|
||||
jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled
|
||||
in any criminal case to be a witness against
|
||||
himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or
|
||||
property, without due process of law; nor shall
|
||||
private property be taken for public use without
|
||||
just compensation.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> INDICTMENT OF A GRAND JURY: Kevin Bjornson has been
|
||||
proprietor of Hydro-Tech for nearly a decade and is a
|
||||
leading authority on hydroponic technology and cultivation.
|
||||
On October 26, 1989, both locations of Hydro-Tech were
|
||||
raided by the Drug Enforcement Administration. National
|
||||
Drug Control Policy Director William Bennett has declared
|
||||
that some indoor lighting and hydroponic equipment is
|
||||
purchased by marijuana growers, so retailers and
|
||||
wholesalers of such equipment are drug profiteers and
|
||||
co-conspirators. Bjornson was not charged with any crime,
|
||||
nor subpoenaed, issued a warrant, or arrested. No illegal
|
||||
substances were found on his premises. Federal officials
|
||||
were unable to convince grand juries to indict Bjornson.
|
||||
By February, they had called scores of witnesses and
|
||||
recalled many two or three times, but none of the grand
|
||||
juries they convened decided there was reason to criminally
|
||||
prosecute Bjornson. In spite of that, as of March, his
|
||||
bank accounts were still frozen and none of the inventories
|
||||
or records had been returned. Grand juries refused to
|
||||
indict Bjornson, but the government is still penalizing
|
||||
him.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> TWICE PUT IN JEOPARDY OF LIFE OR LIMB: Members of the
|
||||
McMartin family in California have been tried two or three
|
||||
times for child abuse. Anthony Barnaby was tried for
|
||||
murder (without evidence linking him to the crime) three
|
||||
times before New Hampshire let him go.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> COMPELLED TO BE A WITNESS AGAINST HIMSELF: Oliver North
|
||||
was forced to testify against himself. Congress granted
|
||||
him immunity from having anything he said to them being
|
||||
used as evidence against him, and then they required him to
|
||||
talk. After he did so, what he said was used to find other
|
||||
evidence which was used against him. The courts also play
|
||||
games where you can be required to testify against yourself
|
||||
if you testify at all.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> COMPELLED TO BE A WITNESS AGAINST HIMSELF: In the New York
|
||||
Central Park assault case, three people were found guilty
|
||||
of assault. But there was no physical evidence linking
|
||||
them to the crime; semen did not match any of the
|
||||
defendants. The only evidence the state had was
|
||||
confessions. To obtain these confessions, the police
|
||||
questioned a 15-year old without a parent present -- which
|
||||
is illegal under New York state law. Police also refused
|
||||
to let the subject's Big Brother, an attorney for the
|
||||
Federal government, see him during questioning. Police
|
||||
screamed "You better tell us what we want to hear and
|
||||
cooperate or you are going to jail," at 14-year-old Antron
|
||||
McCray, according to Bobby McCray, his father. Antron
|
||||
McCray "confessed" after his father told him to, so that
|
||||
police would release him. These people were coerced into
|
||||
bearing witness against themselves, and those confessions
|
||||
were used to convict them.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> COMPELLED TO BE A WITNESS AGAINST HIMSELF: Your answers to
|
||||
Census questions are required by law, with a $100 penalty
|
||||
for each question not answered. But people have been
|
||||
evicted for giving honest Census answers. According to the
|
||||
General Accounting Office, one of the most frequent ways
|
||||
city governments use census information is to detect
|
||||
illegal two-family dwellings. This has happened in
|
||||
Montgomery County, Maryland; Pullman, Washington; and Long
|
||||
Island, New York. The August 8, 1989, Wall Street Journal
|
||||
reports this and other ways Census answers have been used
|
||||
against the answerers.
|
||||
|
||||
COMPELLED TO BE A WITNESS AGAINST HIMSELF: Drug tests are
|
||||
being required from more and more people, even when there
|
||||
is no probable cause, no accident, and no suspicion of drug
|
||||
use. Requiring people to take drug tests compels them to
|
||||
provide evidence against themselves.
|
||||
|
||||
DEPRIVED OF LIFE, LIBERTY, OR PROPERTY WITHOUT DUE PROCESS
|
||||
OF LAW: This clause is violated on each of the items life,
|
||||
liberty, and property. Incidents including such violations
|
||||
are described elsewhere in this article. Here are two
|
||||
more: On March 26, 1987, in Jeffersontown, Kentucky,
|
||||
Jeffrey Miles was killed by police officer John Rucker, who
|
||||
was looking for a suspected drug dealer. Rucker had been
|
||||
sent to the wrong house; Miles was not wanted by police.
|
||||
He received no due process. In Detroit, $4,834 was seized
|
||||
from a grocery store after dogs detected traces of cocaine
|
||||
on three one-dollar bills in a cash register.
|
||||
|
||||
PRIVATE PROPERTY TAKEN FOR PUBLIC USE WITHOUT JUST
|
||||
COMPENSATION: RICO is shredding this aspect of the Bill of
|
||||
Rights. The money confiscated by Sheriff Vogel goes
|
||||
directly into Vogel's budget; it is not regulated by the
|
||||
legislature. Federal and local governments seize and
|
||||
auction boats, buildings, and other property. Under RICO,
|
||||
the government is seizing property without due process.
|
||||
The victims are required to prove not only that they are
|
||||
not guilty of a crime, but that they are entitled to their
|
||||
property. Otherwise, the government auctions off the
|
||||
property and keeps the proceeds.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Amendment VI</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall
|
||||
enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by
|
||||
an impartial jury of the State and district
|
||||
wherein the crime shall have been committed,
|
||||
which district shall have been previously
|
||||
ascertained by law, and to be informed of the
|
||||
nature and cause of the accusation; to be
|
||||
confronted with the witnesses against him; to
|
||||
have compulsory process for obtaining Witnesses
|
||||
in his favor, and to have the assistance of
|
||||
counsel for his defence.
|
||||
|
||||
THE RIGHT TO A SPEEDY AND PUBLIC TRIAL: Surprisingly, the
|
||||
right to a public trial is under attack. When Marion Barry
|
||||
was being tried, the prosecution attempted to bar Louis
|
||||
Farrakhan and George Stallings from the gallery. This
|
||||
request was based on an allegation that they would send
|
||||
silent and "impermissible messages" to the jurors. The
|
||||
judge initially granted this request. One might argue that
|
||||
the whole point of a public trial is to send a message to
|
||||
all the participants: The message is that the public is
|
||||
watching; the trial had better be fair.
|
||||
|
||||
BY AN IMPARTIAL JURY: The government does not even honor
|
||||
the right to trial by an impartial jury. US District Judge
|
||||
Edward Rafeedie is investigating improper influence on
|
||||
jurors by US marshals in the Enrique Camarena case. US
|
||||
marshals apparently illegally communicated with jurors
|
||||
during deliberations.
|
||||
|
||||
OF THE STATE AND DISTRICT WHEREIN THE CRIME SHALL HAVE BEEN
|
||||
COMMITTED: This is incredible, but Manuel Noriega is being
|
||||
tried so far away from the place where he is alleged to
|
||||
have committed crimes that the United States had to invade
|
||||
another country and overturn a government to get him. Nor
|
||||
is this a unique occurrence; in a matter separate from the
|
||||
Camarena case, Judge Rafeedie was asked to dismiss charges
|
||||
against Mexican gynecologist Dr. Humberto Alvarez Machain
|
||||
on the grounds that the doctor was illegally abducted from
|
||||
his Guadalajara office in April and turned over to US
|
||||
authorities.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> TO BE INFORMED OF THE NATURE AND CAUSE OF THE ACCUSATION:
|
||||
Steve Jackson Games, nearly put out of business by the raid
|
||||
described previously, has been stonewalled by the SS. "For
|
||||
the past month or so these guys have been insisting the
|
||||
book wasn't the target of the raid, but they don't say what
|
||||
the target was, or why they were critical of the book, or
|
||||
why they won't give it back," Steve Jackson says. "They
|
||||
have repeatedly denied we're targets but don't explain why
|
||||
we've been made victims." Attorneys for SJG tried to find
|
||||
out the basis for the search warrant that led to the raid
|
||||
on SJG. But the application for that warrant was sealed by
|
||||
order of the court and remained sealed at last report, in
|
||||
July. Not only has the SS taken property and nearly
|
||||
destroyed a publisher, it will not even explain the nature
|
||||
and cause of the accusations that led to the raid.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> TO BE CONFRONTED WITH THE WITNESSES AGAINST HIM: The courts
|
||||
are beginning to play fast and loose with the right to
|
||||
confront witnesses. Watch out for anonymous witnesses and
|
||||
videotaped testimony.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> TO HAVE COMPULSORY PROCESS FOR OBTAINING WITNESSES: Ronald
|
||||
Reagan resisted submitting to subpoena and answering
|
||||
questions about Irangate, claiming matters of national
|
||||
security and executive privilege. A judge had to dismiss
|
||||
some charges against Irangate participants because the
|
||||
government refused to provide information subpoenaed by the
|
||||
defendants. And one wonders if the government would go
|
||||
to the same lengths to obtain witnesses for Manuel Noriega
|
||||
as it did to capture him.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> TO HAVE THE ASSISTANCE OF COUNSEL: The right to assistance
|
||||
of counsel took a hit recently. Connecticut Judge Joseph
|
||||
Sylvester is refusing to assign public defenders to people
|
||||
ACCUSED of drug-related crimes, including drunk driving.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> TO HAVE THE ASSISTANCE OF COUNSEL: RICO is also affecting
|
||||
the right to have the assistance of counsel. The
|
||||
government confiscates the money of an accused person,
|
||||
which leaves them unable to hire attorneys. The IRS has
|
||||
served summonses nationwide to defense attorneys, demanding
|
||||
the names of clients who paid cash for fees exceeding
|
||||
$10,000.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Amendment VII</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> In Suits at common law, where the value in
|
||||
controversy shall exceed twenty dollars, the
|
||||
right of trial by jury shall be preserved, and no
|
||||
fact tried by a jury, shall be otherwise
|
||||
reexamined in any Court of the United States,
|
||||
than according to the rules of common law.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> RIGHT OF TRIAL BY JURY IN SUITS AT COMMON LAW: This is a
|
||||
simple right; so far the government has not felt threatened
|
||||
by it and has not made attacks on it that I am aware of.
|
||||
This is our only remaining safe haven in the Bill of Rights.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Amendment VIII</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Excessive bail shall not be required, nor
|
||||
excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual
|
||||
punishments inflicted.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> EXCESSIVE BAIL AND FINES: Tallahatchie County in
|
||||
Mississippi charges ten dollars a day to each person who
|
||||
spends time in the jail, regardless of the length of stay
|
||||
or the outcome of their trial. This means innocent people
|
||||
are forced to pay. Marvin Willis was stuck in jail for 90
|
||||
days trying to raise $2,500 bail on an assault charge. But
|
||||
after he made that bail, he was kept imprisoned because he
|
||||
could not pay the $900 rent Tallahatchie demanded. Nine
|
||||
former inmates are suing the county for this practice.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> CRUEL AND UNUSUAL PUNISHMENTS: House Resolution 4079
|
||||
sticks its nose in here too: "... a Federal court shall
|
||||
not hold prison or jail crowding unconstitutional under the
|
||||
eighth amendment except to the extent that an individual
|
||||
plaintiff inmate proves that the crowding causes the
|
||||
infliction of cruel and unusual punishment of that
|
||||
inmate."</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> CRUEL AND UNUSUAL PUNISHMENTS: A life sentence for selling
|
||||
a quarter of a gram of cocaine for $20 -- that is what
|
||||
Ricky Isom was sentenced to in February in Cobb County,
|
||||
Georgia. It was Isom's second conviction in two years, and
|
||||
state law imposes a mandatory sentence. Even the judge
|
||||
pronouncing the sentence thinks it is cruel; Judge Tom
|
||||
Cauthorn expressed grave reservations before sentencing
|
||||
Isom and Douglas Rucks (convicted of selling 3.5 grams of
|
||||
cocaine in a separate but similar case). Judge Cauthorn
|
||||
called the sentences "Draconian."</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Amendment IX</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain
|
||||
rights, shall not be construed to deny or
|
||||
disparage others retained by the people.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> OTHER RIGHTS RETAINED BY THE PEOPLE: This amendment is so
|
||||
weak today that I will ask not what infringements there are
|
||||
on it but rather what exercise of it exists at all? What
|
||||
law can you appeal to a court to find you not guilty of
|
||||
violating because the law denies a right retained by you?</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Amendment X</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> The powers not delegated to the United States by
|
||||
the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the
|
||||
States, are reserved to the States respectively,
|
||||
or to the people.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> POWERS RESERVED TO THE STATES OR THE PEOPLE: This
|
||||
amendment is also weak, although it is not so nonexistent
|
||||
as the ninth amendment. But few states set their own speed
|
||||
limits or drinking age limits. Today, we mostly think of
|
||||
this country as the -- singular -- United States, rather
|
||||
than a collection of states. This concentration of power
|
||||
detaches laws from the desires of people -- and even of
|
||||
states. House Resolution 4079 crops up again here -- it
|
||||
uses financial incentives to get states to set specific
|
||||
penalties for certain crimes. Making their own laws
|
||||
certainly must be considered a right of the states, and
|
||||
this right is being infringed upon.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Out of ten amendments, nine are under attack, most of them
|
||||
under multiple attacks of different natures, and some of
|
||||
them under a barrage. If this much of the Bill of Rights
|
||||
is threatened, how can you be sure your rights are safe? A
|
||||
right has to be there when you need it. Like insurance,
|
||||
you cannot afford to wait until you need it and then set
|
||||
about procuring it or ensuring it is available. Assurance
|
||||
must be made in advance.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> The bottom line here is that your rights are not safe. You
|
||||
do not know when one of your rights will be violated. A
|
||||
number of rights protect accused persons, and you may think
|
||||
it is not important to protect the rights of criminals.
|
||||
But if a right is not there for people accused of crimes,
|
||||
it will not be there when you need it. With the Bill of
|
||||
Rights in the sad condition described above, nobody can be
|
||||
confident they will be able to exercise the rights to which
|
||||
they are justly entitled. To preserve our rights for
|
||||
ourselves in the future, we must defend them for everybody
|
||||
today.

<p>NOTE: This is a report on Government and military techniques, notterrorist!</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> B R A I N W A S H I N G
|
||||
By Lorenzo Saint Dubois</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The report that follows is a condensation of a study by training experts of
|
||||
the important information available on this subject.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> BACKGROUND</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Brainwashing, as a technique, has been used for centuries and is no mystery
|
||||
to psychologists. In this sense, brainwashing means involuntary re-education
|
||||
of basic beliefs and values. All people are being re-educated continually.
|
||||
New information changes one's beliefs.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Everyone has experienced to some degree the conflict that ensues when new
|
||||
information is not consistent with prior belief.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The experience of the brainwashed individual differs in that the inconsistent
|
||||
information is forced upon the individual under controlled conditions after
|
||||
the possibility of critical judgment has been removed by a variety of
|
||||
methods.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>There is no question that an individual can be broken psychologically by
|
||||
captors with knowledge and willingness to persist in techniques aimed at
|
||||
deliberately destroying the integration of a personality. Although it is
|
||||
probable that everyone reduced to such a confused, disoriented state will
|
||||
respond to the introduction of new beliefs, this cannot be stated
|
||||
dogmatically.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> HUMAN CONTROL AND REACTION TO CONTROL</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>There are progressive steps in exercising control over an individual and
|
||||
changing his behaviour and personality integration.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The following five steps are typical of behaviour changes in any controlled
|
||||
individual:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>1. Making the individual aware of control is the first stage in changing his
|
||||
behaviour. A small child is made aware of the physical and psychological
|
||||
control of his parents and quickly recognizes that an overwhelming force
|
||||
must be reckoned with.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> So a controlled adult comes to recognize the overwhelming powers of the
|
||||
state and the impersonal, incarcerative machinery in which he is enmeshed.
|
||||
The individual recognizes that definite limits have been put upon the ways
|
||||
he can respond.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>2. Realization of his complete dependence upon the controlling system is a
|
||||
major factor in the controlling of his behaviour.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> The controlled adult is forced to accept the fact that food, tobacco,
|
||||
praise and the only social contact that he will get come from the very
|
||||
interrogator who exercises control over him.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>3. The awareness of control and recognition of dependence result in causing
|
||||
internal conflict and breakdown of previous patterns of behaviour.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Although this transition can be relatively mild in the case of a child,
|
||||
it is almost invariably severe for the adult undergoing brainwashing.
|
||||
Only an individual who holds his values lightly can change them easily.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Since the brainwasher/interrogators aim to have the individuals undergo
|
||||
profound emotional change, they force their victims to seek out painfully
|
||||
what is desired by the controlling individual. During this period the
|
||||
victim is likely to have a mental breakdown characterized by delusions
|
||||
and hallucinations.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>4. Discovery that there is an acceptable solution to his problem is the
|
||||
first stage of reducing the individuals conflict.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> It is characteristically reported by victims of brainwashing that this
|
||||
discovery led to an overwhelming feeling of relief that the horror of
|
||||
internal conflict would cease and that perhaps they would not be driven
|
||||
insane.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> It is at this point that they are prepared to make major changes in their
|
||||
value system. This is an automatic rather than voluntary choice. They have
|
||||
lost their ability to be critical.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>5. Reintegration of values and identification with the controlling system is
|
||||
the final stage in changing the behaviour of the controlled individual.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> A child who has learned a new, socially desirable behaviour demonstrates
|
||||
its importance by attempting to as apt the new behaviour to a variety of
|
||||
other situations. Similar states in the brainwashed adult are pitiful.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> His new value-system, his manner of perceiving, organizing, and giving
|
||||
meaning to events, is virtually independent of his former value system.
|
||||
He is no longer capable of thinking or speaking in concepts other than
|
||||
those he has adopted. He tends to identify by expressing thanks to his
|
||||
captors for helping him see the light.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Anyone willing to use known principles of control and reactions to
|
||||
control and capable of demonstrating the patience needed in raising a
|
||||
child can probably achieve successful brainwashing.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> CONTROL TECHNIQUES AND THEIR EFFECTS</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>A description of usual communist control techniques follows.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>INTERROGATION</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>There are at least two ways in which interrogation is used:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>A. Elicitation, which is designed to get the individual to surrender
|
||||
protected information, is a form of interrogation. One major difference
|
||||
between elicitation and interrogation used to achieve brainwashing is that
|
||||
the mind of the individual must be kept clear to permit coherent,
|
||||
undistorted disclosure of protected information.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>B. Elicitation for the purpose of brainwashing consists of questioning,
|
||||
argument, indoctrination, threats, cajolery, praise, hostility and a
|
||||
variety of other pressures. The aim of this interrogation is to hasten the
|
||||
breakdown of the individual's value system and to encourage the substitution
|
||||
of a different valuesystem.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The procurement of protected information is secondary and is used as a
|
||||
device to increase pressure upon the individual. The term interrogation in
|
||||
this article will refer in general, to this type. The interrogator is the
|
||||
individual who conducts this type of interrogation and who controls the
|
||||
administration of the other pressures. He is the protagonist against whom
|
||||
the victim develops his conflict and upon whom the victim develops a state
|
||||
of dependency as he seeks some solution to his conflict.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>PHYSICAL TORTURE & THREATS OF TORTURE</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Two types of physical torture are distinguishable more by their psychological
|
||||
effect in inducing conflict than by the degree of painfulness:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>A. The first type is one in which the victim has a passive role in the pain
|
||||
inflicted on him (e.g., beatings). His conflict involves the decision of
|
||||
whether or not to give in to demands in order to avoid further pain.
|
||||
Generally, brutality of this type was not found to achieve the desired
|
||||
results. Threats of torture were found more effective, as fear of pain
|
||||
causes greater conflict within the individual than does pain itself.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>B. The second type of torture is represented by requiring the individual to
|
||||
stand in one spot for several hours or assume some other pain-inducing
|
||||
position. Such a requirement often engenders in the individual a
|
||||
determination to stick it out. This internal act of resistance provide a
|
||||
feeling of moral superiority at first. As time passes and his pain mounts,
|
||||
the individual becomes aware that it is his own original determination to
|
||||
resist that is causing the continuance of pain.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>A conflict develops within the individual between his moral determination and
|
||||
his desire to collapse and discontinue the pain. It is this extra internal
|
||||
conflict, in addition to the conflict over whether or not to give in to the
|
||||
demands made of him, that tends to make this method of torture more
|
||||
effective in the breakdown of the individual personality.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
ISOLATION</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Individual differences in reaction to isolation are probably greater than to
|
||||
any other method. Some individuals appear to be able to withstand prolonged
|
||||
periods of isolation without deleterious effects, while a relatively short
|
||||
period of isolation reduces others to the verge of psychosis. Reaction
|
||||
varies with the conditions of the isolation cell.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Some sources have indicated a strong reaction to filth and vermin, although
|
||||
they had negligible reactions to the isolation. Others reacted violently to
|
||||
isolation in relatively clean cells. The predominant cause of breakdown in
|
||||
such situations is a lack of sensory stimulation (i.e., grayness of walls,
|
||||
lack of sound, absence of social contact, etc.). Experimental subjects
|
||||
exposed to this condition have reported vivid hallucinations and
|
||||
overwhelming fears of losing their sanity.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>CONTROL OF COMMUNICATION</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>This is one of the most effective methods for creating a sense of
|
||||
helplessness and despair. This measure might well be considered the
|
||||
cornerstone of the system of control. It consists of strict regulation of
|
||||
the mail, reading materials, broadcast materials and social contact
|
||||
available to the individual. The need to communicate is so great that when
|
||||
the usual channels are blocked, the individual will resort to any open
|
||||
channel, almost regardless of the implications of using that particular
|
||||
channel.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Many POWs in Korea, whose only act of collaboration was to sign petitions
|
||||
and peace appeals, defended their actions on the ground that this was the
|
||||
only method of letting the outside world know they were still alive.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Many stated that their morale and fortitude would have been increased
|
||||
immeasurably had leaflets of encouragement been dropped to them. When the
|
||||
only contact with the outside world is via the interrogator, the prisoner
|
||||
comes to develop extreme dependency on his interrogator and hence loses
|
||||
another prop to his morale.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Another wrinkle in communication control is the informer system. The
|
||||
recruitment of informers in POW camps discouraged communication between
|
||||
inmates. POWs who feared that every act or thought of resistance would be
|
||||
communicated to camp administrators, lost faith in their fellow man and
|
||||
were forced to untrusting individualism. Informers are also under several
|
||||
stages of brainwashing and elicitation to develop and maintain control over
|
||||
the victims.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>INDUCTION OF FATIGUE</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>This is a well-known device for breaking will power and critical powers of
|
||||
judgment. Deprivation of sleep results in more intense psychological
|
||||
debilitation than does any other method of engendering fatigue. They vary
|
||||
their methods.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Conveyor belt interrogation that last 50-60 hours will make almost any
|
||||
individual compromise, but there is danger that this will kill the victim.
|
||||
It is safer to conduct interrogations of 8-10 hours at night while forcing
|
||||
the prisoner to remain awake during the day. Additional interruptions in the
|
||||
remaining 2-3 hours of allotted sleep quickly reduce the most resilient
|
||||
individual.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Alternate administration of drug stimulants and depressants hastens the
|
||||
process of fatigue and sharpens the psychological reactions of excitement
|
||||
and depression. Fatigue, in addition to reducing the will to resist, also
|
||||
produces irritation and fear that arise from increased slips of the
|
||||
tongue forgetfulness and decreased ability to maintain orderly thought
|
||||
processes.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>CONTROL OF FOOD, WATER AND TOBACCO</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The controlled individual is made intensely aware of his dependence upon his
|
||||
interrogator for the quality and quantity of his food and tobacco. The
|
||||
exercise of this control usually follows a pattern.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>No food and little or no water is permitted the individual for several
|
||||
days prior to interrogation. When the prisoner first complains of this to
|
||||
the interrogator, the latter expresses surprise at such inhumane treatment.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>He makes a demand of the prisoner, if the latter complies, he receives a
|
||||
good meal. If he does not, he gets a diet of unappetizing food containing
|
||||
limited vitamins, minerals and calories.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>This diet is supplemented occasionally by the interrogator if the prisoner
|
||||
cooperates. Studies of controlled starvation indicate that the whole value-
|
||||
system of the subjects underwent a change. Their irritation increased
|
||||
as their ability to think clearly decreased. The control of tobacco presented
|
||||
an even greater source of conflict for heavy smokers. Because tobacco is not
|
||||
necessary to life, being manipulated by his craving for it can in the
|
||||
individual a strong sense of guilt.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>CRITICISM AND SELF-CRITICISM</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>There are mechanisms of thought control. Self-criticism gains its
|
||||
effectiveness from the fact that although it is not a crime for a man to be
|
||||
wrong, it is a major crime to be stubborn and to refuse to learn. Many
|
||||
individuals feel intensely relieved in being able to share their sense of
|
||||
guilt.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Those individuals however, who have adjusted to handling their guilt
|
||||
internally have difficulty adapting to criticism and self-criticism. In
|
||||
brainwashing, after a sufficient sense of guilt has been created in the
|
||||
individual, sharing and self-criticism permit relief. The price paid for
|
||||
this relief, however, is loss of individuality and increased dependency.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>HYPNOSIS AND DRUGS AS CONTROLS</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>There is no reliable evidence of making widespread use of drugs or hypnosis
|
||||
in brainwashing or elicitation. The exception to this is the use of common
|
||||
stimulants or depressants in inducing fatigue and mood swings.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Other methods of control, which when used in conjunction with the basic
|
||||
processes, hasten the deterioration of prisoners' sense of values and
|
||||
resistance are:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>A. Requiring a case history or autobiography of the prisoner provides a mine
|
||||
of information for the interrogator in establishing and documenting
|
||||
accusations.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>B. Friendliness of the interrogator, when least expected, upsets the
|
||||
prisoner's ability to maintain a critical attitude.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>C. Petty demands, such as severely limiting the allotted time for use of
|
||||
toilet facilities or requiring the POW to kill hundreds of flies, are
|
||||
harassment methods.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>D. Prisoners are often humiliated by refusing them the use of toilet
|
||||
facilities during interrogation, until they soil themselves. Often
|
||||
prisoners were not permitted to bathe for weeks until they felt
|
||||
contemptible.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>E. Conviction as a war criminal appears to be a potent factor in creating
|
||||
despair in the individual. One official analysis of the pressures exerted
|
||||
by the ChiComs on confessors and non-confessors to participation in
|
||||
bacteriological warfare in Korea showed that actual trial and conviction
|
||||
of war crimes was overwhelmingly associated with breakdown and confession.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>F. Attempted elicitation of protected information at various times during
|
||||
the brainwashing process diverted the individual from awareness of the
|
||||
deterioration of his value-system.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The fact that, in most cases, the ChiComs did not want or need such
|
||||
intelligence was not known to the prisoner. His attempts to protect
|
||||
such information was made at the expense of hastening his own breakdown.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> EXERCISE OF CONTROL
|
||||
A SCHEDULE FOR BRAINWASHING</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>From the many fragmentary accounts reviewed, the following appears to be the
|
||||
most likely description of what occurs during brainwashing. In the period
|
||||
immediately following capture, the captors are faced with the problem of
|
||||
deciding on best ways of exploitation of the prisoners.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Therefore, early treatment is similar both for those who are to be exploited
|
||||
through elicitation and those who are to undergo brainwashing. Concurrently
|
||||
with being interrogated and required to write a detailed personal history,
|
||||
the prisoner undergoes a physical and psychological softening-up which
|
||||
includes: limited unpalatable food rations, withholding of tobacco, possible
|
||||
work details, severely inadequate use of toilet facilities, no use of
|
||||
facilities for personal cleanliness, limitation of sleep such as requiring a
|
||||
subject to sleep with a bright light in his eyes.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The interrogation and autobiographical material, the reports of the
|
||||
prisoner's behaviour in confinement and tentative personality typing by the
|
||||
interrogators, provide the basis upon which exploitation plans are made.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>There is a major difference between preparation for elicitation and for
|
||||
brainwashing. Prisoners exploited through elicitation must retain sufficient
|
||||
clarity of thought to be able to give coherent, factual accounts.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>In brainwashing, on the other hand, the first thing attacked is clarity of
|
||||
thought. To develop a strategy of defence, the controlled individual must
|
||||
determine what plans have been made for his exploitation. Perhaps the best
|
||||
cues he can get are internal reactions to the pressures he undergoes. The
|
||||
most important aspect of the brainwashing process is the interrogation. The
|
||||
other pressures are designed primarily to help the interrogator achieve his
|
||||
goals. The following states are created systematically within the
|
||||
individual. These may vary in order, but all are necessary to the
|
||||
brainwashing process:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>1. A feeling of helplessness in attempting to deal with the impersonal
|
||||
machinery of control.
|
||||
2. An initial reaction of surprise.
|
||||
3. A feeling of uncertainty about what is required of him.
|
||||
4. A developing feeling of dependence upon the interrogator.
|
||||
5. A sense of doubt and loss of objectivity.
|
||||
6. Feelings of guilt.
|
||||
7. A questioning attitude toward his own value-system.
|
||||
8. A feeling of potential breakdown i.e., that he might go crazy.
|
||||
9. A need to defend his acquired principles.
|
||||
10. A final sense of belonging (identification).</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>A feeling of helplessness in the face of the impersonal machinery of control
|
||||
is carefully engendered within the prisoner. The individual who receives the
|
||||
preliminary treatment described above not only begins to feel like an animal
|
||||
but also feels that nothing can be done about it. No one pays any personal
|
||||
attention to him. His complaints fall on deaf ears. His loss of
|
||||
communication, if he has been isolated, creates a feeling that he has been
|
||||
forgotten. Everything that happens to him occurs according to an impersonal
|
||||
time schedule that has nothing to do with his needs. The voices and
|
||||
footsteps of the guards are muted. He notes many contrasts, e.g., his
|
||||
greasy, unpalatable food may be served on battered tin dishes by guards
|
||||
immaculately dressed in white.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The first steps in depersonalization of the prisoner have begun. He has no
|
||||
idea what to expect. Ample opportunity is allotted for him to ruminate upon
|
||||
all the unpleasant or painful things that could happen to him. He approaches
|
||||
the main interrogator with mixed feelings of relief and fright.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Surprise is commonly used in the brainwashing process. The prisoner is rarely
|
||||
prepared for the fact that the interrogators are usually friendly and
|
||||
considerate at first. They make every effort to demonstrate that they are
|
||||
reasonable human beings.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Often they apologize for bad treatment received by the prisoner and promise
|
||||
to improve his lot if he, too, is reasonable. This behaviour is not what he
|
||||
has steeled himself for. He lets down some of his defences and tries to take
|
||||
a reasonable attitude. The first occasion he balks at satisfying a request
|
||||
of the interrogator, however, he is in for another surprise. The formerly
|
||||
reasonable interrogator unexpectedly turns into a furious maniac. The
|
||||
interrogator is likely to slap the prisoner or draw his pistol and threaten
|
||||
to shoot him. Usually this storm of emotion ceases as suddenly as it began
|
||||
and the interrogator stalks from the room. These surprising changes create
|
||||
doubt in the prisoner as to his very ability to perceive another person's
|
||||
motivations correctly. His next interrogation probably will be marked by
|
||||
impassivity in the interrogator's mien.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>A feeling of uncertainty about what is required of him is likewise carefully
|
||||
engendered within the individual. Pleas of the prisoner to learn specifically
|
||||
of what he is accused and by whom are side-stepped by the interrogator.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Instead, the prisoner is asked to tell why he thinks he is held and what he
|
||||
feels he is guilty of. If the prisoner fails to come up with anything, he is
|
||||
accused in terms of broad generalities (e.g, espionage, sabotage, acts of
|
||||
treason against the people etc.)</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>This usually provokes the prisoner to make some statement about his
|
||||
activities. If this take the form of a denial, he is usually sent to
|
||||
isolation on further decreased food rations to think over his crimes.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>This process can be repeated again and again, as soon as the prisoner thinks
|
||||
of something that might be considered self-incriminating, the interrogator
|
||||
appears momentarily satisfied. The prisoner is asked to write down his
|
||||
statement in his own words and sign it. Meanwhile a strong sense of
|
||||
dependence upon the interrogator is developed. It does not take long for the
|
||||
prisoner to realize that the interrogator is the source of all punishment,
|
||||
all gratification, and all communication. The interrogator, meanwhile,
|
||||
demonstrates his unpredictbility. He is perceived by the prisoner as a
|
||||
creature of whim.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>At times, the interrogator can be pleased very easily and at other times no
|
||||
effort on the part of the prisoner will placate him. The prisoner may begin
|
||||
to channel so much energy into trying to predict the behaviour of the
|
||||
unpredictable interrogator that he loses track of what is happening
|
||||
inside himself. After the prisoner has developed the above psychological
|
||||
and emotional reactions to a sufficient degree, the brainwashing begins in
|
||||
earnest.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>First, the prisoner's remaining critical faculties must be destroyed. He
|
||||
undergoes long, fatiguing interrogations while looking at a bright light.
|
||||
He is called back again and again for interrogations after minimal sleep.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>He may undergo torture that tends to create internal conflict. Drugs may
|
||||
be used to accentuate his mood swings. He develops depression when the
|
||||
interrogator is being kind and becomes euphoric when the interrogator is
|
||||
threatening the direst penalties. Then the cycle is reversed, the
|
||||
prisoner finds himself in a constant state of anxiety which prevents him
|
||||
from relaxing even when he is permitted to sleep. Short periods of
|
||||
isolation now bring on visual and auditory hallucinations.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The prisoner feels himself losing his objectivity. It is in this state that
|
||||
the prisoner must keep up an endless argument with the interrogator. He
|
||||
may be faced with the confessions of other individuals who collaborated with
|
||||
him in his crimes.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The prisoner seriously begins to doubts his own memory. This feeling is
|
||||
heightened by his inability to recall little things like the names of the
|
||||
people he knows very well or the date of his birth. The interrogator
|
||||
patiently sharpens this feeling of doubt by more questioning. This tends to
|
||||
create a serious state of uncertainty when the individual has lost most of
|
||||
his critical faculties.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The prisoner must undergo additional internal conflict when strong feelings
|
||||
of guilt are aroused within him. As any clinical psychologist is aware, it
|
||||
is not at all difficult to create such feelings. Military servicemen are
|
||||
particularly vulnerable.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>No one can morally justify killing even in wartime. The usual justification
|
||||
is on the grounds of necessity or self-defence. The interrogator is careful
|
||||
to circumvent such justification. He keeps the interrogation directed toward
|
||||
the prisoner's moral code. Every moral vulnerability is exploited by
|
||||
incessant questioning along this line until the prisoner begins to question
|
||||
the very fundamentals of his own value-system.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The prisoner must constantly fight a potential breakdown. He finds that
|
||||
his mind is going blank for longer and longer periods of time. He can
|
||||
not think constructively. If he is to maintain any semblance of psychological
|
||||
integrity, he must bring to an end this state of interminable internal
|
||||
conflict. He signifies a willingness to write a confession.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>If this were truly the end, no brainwashing would have occurred. The
|
||||
individual would simply have given in to intolerable pressure. The final
|
||||
stage of the brainwashing process has just begun. No matter what the prisoner
|
||||
writes in his confession the interrogator is not satisfied. The interrogator
|
||||
questions every sentence of the confession. He begins to edit it with the
|
||||
prisoner. The prisoner is forced to argue against every change. This is the
|
||||
essence of brainwashing.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Every time that he gives in on a point to the interrogator, he must rewrite
|
||||
his whole confession. Still the interrogator is not satisfied, in a desperate
|
||||
attempt to maintain some semblance of integrity and to avoid further
|
||||
brainwashing, the prisoner must begin to argue that what he has already
|
||||
confessed to is true. He begins to accept as his own the statements he has
|
||||
written. He uses many of the interrogator's earlier arguments to buttress
|
||||
his position. By this process, identification with the interrogator's
|
||||
value-system becomes complete.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>It is extremely important to recognize that a qualitative change has taken
|
||||
place within the prisoner. The brainwashed victim does not consciously
|
||||
change his value-system; rather the change occurs despite his efforts. He is
|
||||
no more responsible for this change than is an individual who snaps and
|
||||
becomes psychotic. Like the psychotic, the prisoner is not even aware of the
|
||||
transition.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>DEFENSIVE MEASURES</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>1. Training of Individuals potentially subject to communist control.
|
||||
Training should provide for the trainee a realistic appraisal of what
|
||||
control pressures the interrogators are likely to exert and what the
|
||||
usual human reactions are to such pressures. The trainee must learn the
|
||||
most effective ways of combating his own reactions to such pressures and
|
||||
he must learn reasonable expectations as to what his behaviour should be.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Training has two decidedly positive effects; first, it provides the
|
||||
trainee with ways of combating control; second, it provides the basis for
|
||||
developing an immeasurable boost in morale. Any positive action that the
|
||||
individual can take, even if it is only slightly effective, gives him a
|
||||
sense of control over a situation that is otherwise controlling him.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>2. Training must provide the individual with the means of recognizing
|
||||
realistic goals for himself.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> A. Delay in yielding may be the only achievement that can be hoped for.
|
||||
In any particular operation, the agent needs the support of knowing
|
||||
specifically how long he must hold out to save an operation, protect
|
||||
his cohorts, or gain some other goal.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> B. The individual should be taught how to achieve the most favourable
|
||||
treatment and how to behave and make necessary concessions to obtain
|
||||
minimum penalties.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> C. Individual behavioural responses to the various control pressures
|
||||
differ markedly. Therefore, each trainee should know his own particular
|
||||
assets and limitations in resisting specific pressures. He can learn
|
||||
these only under laboratory conditions simulating the actual pressures
|
||||
he may have to face.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> D. Training must provide knowledge of the goals and the restrictions
|
||||
placed upon his interrogator. The trainee should know what controls
|
||||
are on his interrogator and to what extent he can manipulate the
|
||||
interrogator.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> For example, the interrogator is not permitted to fail to gain
|
||||
something from the controlled individual. The knowledge that, after
|
||||
the victim has proved that he is a tough nut to crack he can
|
||||
sometimes indicate that he might compromise on some little point to
|
||||
help the interrogator in return for more favourable treatment, may be
|
||||
useful indeed. Above all, the potential victim of interrogator control
|
||||
can gain a great deal of psychological support from the knowledge that
|
||||
the interrogator is not a completely free agent who can do whatever he
|
||||
wills with his victim.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> E. The trainee must learn what practical cues might aid him in recognizing
|
||||
the specific goals of his interrogator. The strategy of defence against
|
||||
elicitation may differ markedly from the strategy to prevent
|
||||
brainwashing. To prevent elicitation, the individual may hasten his
|
||||
own state of mental confusion; whereas, to prevent brainwashing,
|
||||
maintaining clarity of thought processes is imperative.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> F. The trainee should obtain knowledge about carrots as well as sticks.
|
||||
They keep certain of their promises and always renege on others, for
|
||||
example, demonstrable the fact that informers receive no better
|
||||
treatment than other prisoners should do much to prevent this particular
|
||||
evil. On the other hand, certain meaningless concessions will often get
|
||||
a prisoner a good meal.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> G. In particular, it should be emphasized to the trainee that, although
|
||||
little can be done to control the pressures exerted upon him, he can
|
||||
learn something about controlling his personal reactions to specific
|
||||
pressures. The trainee can gain much from learning something about
|
||||
internal conflict and conflict-producing mechanisms. He should learn
|
||||
to recognize when someone is trying to arouse guilt feelings and what
|
||||
behavioural reactions can occur as a response to guilt.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> H. The training must teach some methods that can be utilized in thwarting
|
||||
particular control techniques:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>ELICITATION</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>In general, individuals who are the hardest to interrogate for information
|
||||
are those who have experienced previous interrogations. Practice in being
|
||||
the victim of interrogation is a sound training device.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>TORTURE
|
||||
|
||||
The trainee should learn something about the principles of pain and shock.
|
||||
There is a maximum to the amount of pain that can actually be felt. Any
|
||||
amount of pain can be tolerated for a limited period of time. In addition,
|
||||
the trainee can be fortified by the knowledge that there are legal
|
||||
limitations upon the amount of torture that can be inflicted by jailors.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>ISOLATION</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The psychological effects of isolation can probably be thwarted best by
|
||||
mental gymnastics and systematic efforts on the part of the isolate to
|
||||
obtain stimulation for his neural end
|
||||
organs. Controls on Food and Tobacco. Food given will always be enough to
|
||||
maintain survival, sometimes the victim gets unexpected opportunities
|
||||
to supplement his diet with special minerals, vitamins and other nutrients
|
||||
(e.g., iron from the rust of prison bars).</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>In some instances, experience has shown that individuals could exploit
|
||||
refusal to eat. Such refusal usually resulted in the transfer of the
|
||||
individual to a hospital where he received vitamin injections and
|
||||
nutritious food. Evidently attempts of this kind to commit suicide arouse
|
||||
the greatest concern in officials.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>If deprivation of tobacco is the control being exerted. The victim can gain
|
||||
moral satisfaction from giving up tobacco. He can't lose since he is not
|
||||
likely to get any anyway.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>FATIGUE</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The trainee should learn reactions to fatigue and how to overcome them
|
||||
insofar as possible. For example, mild physical exercise clears the head in
|
||||
a fatigue state.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>WRITING PERSONAL ACCOUNTS AND SELF-CRITICISM</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Experience has indicated that one of the most effective ways of combating
|
||||
these pressures is to enter into the spirit with an overabundance of
|
||||
enthusiasm.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Endless written accounts of inconsequential material have virtually
|
||||
smothered some eager interrogators. In the same spirit, sober, detailed
|
||||
self-criticisms of the most minute sins has sometimes brought good results.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Guidance as to the priority of positions he should defend. Perfectly
|
||||
compatible responsibilities in the normal execution of an individual's
|
||||
duties may become mutually incompatible in this situation.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Take the example of a senior grade military officer, he has the knowledge
|
||||
of sensitive strategic intelligence which it is his duty to protect. He
|
||||
has the responsibility of maintaining the physical fitness of his men and
|
||||
serving as a model example for their behaviour. The officer may go to the
|
||||
camp commandant to protest the treatment of the POW`s and the commandant
|
||||
assures him that treatment could be improved if he will swap something for
|
||||
it. Thus to satisfy one responsibility he must compromise another.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The officer, in short, is in a constant state of internal conflict. But if
|
||||
the officer is given the relative priority of his different responsibilities,
|
||||
he is supported by the knowledge that he won't be held accountable for any
|
||||
other behaviour if he does his utmost to carry out his highest priority
|
||||
responsibility.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>There is considerable evidence that many individuals tried to evaluate the
|
||||
priority of their responsibilities on their own, but were in conflict over
|
||||
whether others would subsequently accept their evaluations. More than one
|
||||
individual was probably brainwashed while he was trying to protect himself
|
||||
against elicitation.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>CONCLUSIONS</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The application of known psychological principles can lead to an
|
||||
understanding of brainwashing.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>1. There is nothing mysterious about personality changes resulting from the
|
||||
brainwashing process.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>2. Brainwashing is a complex process. Principles of motivation, perception,
|
||||
learning, and physiological deprivation are needed to account for the
|
||||
results achieved in brainwashing.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>3. Brainwashing is an involuntary re-education of the fundamental beliefs of
|
||||
the individual. To attack the problem successfully, the brainwashing
|
||||
process must be differentiated clearly from general education methods for
|
||||
thought-control or mass indoctrination, and elicitation.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>4. It appears possible for the individual, through training, to develop
|
||||
limited defensive techniques against brainwashing. Such defensive
|
||||
measures are likely to be most effective if directed toward thwarting
|
||||
individual emotional reactions to brainwashing techniques rather than to
|
||||
ward thwarting the techniques themselves.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>DEVELOPMENT IN THE FIELD OF CONTROL OF HUMAN BEHAVIOUR</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>1. There are two major methods of altering or controlling human behaviour
|
||||
and the Soviets where interested in both.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> The first is psychological; the second, pharmacological. The two may be
|
||||
used as individual methods or for mutual reinforcement.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> For long-term control of large numbers of people, the former method is
|
||||
more promising than the latter. In dealing with individuals, the U.S.
|
||||
experience suggests the pharmacological approach (plus psychological
|
||||
techniques) would be the only effective method. Neither method would be
|
||||
very effective for individuals on a long term basis.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>2. Soviet research on the pharmacological agents producing behavioural
|
||||
effects has consistently lagged about five years behind Western research.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> They have been interested in such research and are now pursuing research
|
||||
on such chemicals as LSD-25, amphetamines, tranquillizers, hypnotics and
|
||||
similar materials. There is no present evidence that anyone has any
|
||||
singular, new, potent drugs to force a course of action on an individual.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> They are aware of the tremendous drive produced by drug addiction and
|
||||
perhaps could couple this with psychological direction to achieve
|
||||
control of an individual.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>3. The psychological aspects of behaviour control would include not only
|
||||
conditioning by repetition and training, but such things as hypnosis,
|
||||
deprivation, isolation, manipulation of guilt feelings, subtle or covert
|
||||
threats, social pressure and so on.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Some of the newer trends in the USSR where as follows:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>A. The adoption of a multi-disciplinary approach integrating biological,
|
||||
social and physicalmathematical research in attempts better to
|
||||
understand, and eventually, to control human behaviour in a manner
|
||||
consonant with national plans.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>B. The outstanding feature, in addition to the inter-disciplinary approach,
|
||||
is a new concern for mathematical approaches to an understanding of
|
||||
behaviour.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Particularly notable are attempts to use modern information theory,
|
||||
automata theory and feedback concepts in interpreting the mechanisms by
|
||||
which the second signal system, i.e., speech and associated phenomena,
|
||||
affect human behaviour.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Implied by this second signal system, using information inputs as
|
||||
causative agents rather than chemical agents, electrodes or other more
|
||||
exotic techniques applicable, perhaps, to individuals rather than groups.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>C. This new trend, observed in the early Soviet post-Stalin period,
|
||||
continues. By 1960 the word cybernetics was used by the Soviets to
|
||||
designate this new trend.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> This science is considered by some as the key to understanding the human
|
||||
brain and the product of its functioning - Psychic activity and
|
||||
personality - To the development of means for controlling it and to ways
|
||||
for moulding the character of the New Communist Man.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> As one Soviet author put it: Cybernetics can be used in moulding of a
|
||||
child's character, the inculcation of knowledge and techniques, the
|
||||
amassing of experience, the establishment of social behaviour patterns,
|
||||
all functions which can be summarized as 'control' of the growth process
|
||||
of the individual. Students of particular disciplines in the USSR, such
|
||||
as psychologist and social scientists, also support the general
|
||||
cybernetic trend.
|
||||
|
||||
Research indicates that the Soviets had attempted to develop a technology
|
||||
for controlling the development of behavioural patterns among the
|
||||
citizens of the USSR in accordance with politically determined
|
||||
requirements of the system. Furthermore, the same technology can be
|
||||
applied to more sophisticated approaches to the coding of information for
|
||||
transmittal to population targets in the battle for the minds of men.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Some of the more esoteric techniques such as ESP or, as the Soviets call
|
||||
it, biological radio-communication, and psychogenic agents such as LSD,
|
||||
are receiving some overt attention with, possibly, applications in mind
|
||||
for individual behaviour control under clandestine conditions.</p>

BUSH LINKED TO TERROR BOMBING;

WILL U.N. ASK FOR EXTRADITION?:
|

|

Shocking Evidence Revealed
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The evidence pointing to President Bush's role in the terrorist bombing of
|
||||
a Cuban airliner grows stronger with new revelations. Will the UN Security
|
||||
Council demand his extradition to Cuba or the World Court, as Bush and the
|
||||
UN have done in the case of Libyan suspects in a similar crime?

By Warren Hough
|
||||
Exclusive to The Spotlight
|
||||
|
||||
Washington, DC, 6/12/92 -- Long-suppressed records have turned up
|
||||
"shattering" new evidence of the role played by President George Bush in
|
||||
the midair bombing of a Cuban airliner and in its subsequent cover-up,
|
||||
Latin American officials conducting a "preliminary review" of the tragic
|
||||
incident have told the UN Security Council.
|
||||
The secret files reportedly confirm that in mid-1976, while serving as
|
||||
CIA chief, Bush was in "overall command" of a botched sabotage operation
|
||||
that ended in the crash of a Cuban passenger jet, killing all 73 aboard,
|
||||
The SPOTLIGHT has learned from diplomatic sources close to the
|
||||
investigation.
|
||||
A CIA agent identified as Luis Posada was arrested by Venezuelan
|
||||
authorities shortly after the Cuban plane exploded in midair during its
|
||||
takeoff from a Caribbean stopover, these sources say. Posada, a member of
|
||||
a sizable CIA contingent conducting covert operations from Venezuelan bases
|
||||
at the time, was charged with having smuggled an explosive device aboard
|
||||
the flight, and held for trial.
|
||||
Bush, anxious to disclaim all responsibility for such an atrocious
|
||||
terrorist outrage, ordered a "no-holds-barred" cover-up of the crime, the
|
||||
record suggests.
|
||||
"In order to take the heat off Posada, the CIA targeted another
|
||||
suspect, Dr. Orlando Bosch, a militant Cuban exile activist who advocated
|
||||
`armed action' against the Castro dictatorship," recounted Felipe Rivero,
|
||||
the popular Miami broadcaster who is The SPOTLIGHT's correspondent in the
|
||||
region."
Venezuela's secret police, known after its Spanish initials as DISIP,
|
||||
maintained close relations with the CIA and followed its lead. Bosch was
|
||||
imprisoned and charged with complicity in the bombing in Venezuela.
|
||||
|
||||
BUSH ORCHESTRATION
|
||||
|
||||
The next move in the cover-up reportedly orchestrated by Bush was to
|
||||
"recover" Posada, these sources day. In a well-organized and lavishly
|
||||
financed jailbreak, the alleged aerial bomber was spirited from Venezuela
|
||||
to Panama, where the CIA issued him a new set of identity documents under
|
||||
the name of Ramon Medina, a Guatemalan businessman.
|
||||
In the concluding move of the cover-up, Posada, now known as "Medina,"
|
||||
was handed over to Felix Rodriguez, a senior CIA field agent with whom Bush
|
||||
had a personal working relationship, the record shows. Rodriguez gave
|
||||
Posada a series of covert jobs with CIA teams stationed in Central America,
|
||||
largely in order to protect him and "keep him happy," these sources
|
||||
related.
|
||||
"I, for my part, spent 11 years in various maximum security Venezuelan
|
||||
prisons," Bosch told a SPOTLIGHT reporter during a recent telephone
|
||||
interview. "During those years, I was put on trial four times for that
|
||||
airplane bombing. My case was heard by military, civilian and appellate
|
||||
courts. I was found innocent each time. But after each acquittal, the CIA
|
||||
came up with new `suggestions' about my guilt."
|
||||
|
||||
PALE AND FRAIL
|
||||
|
||||
Finally the Venezuelan government told Washington it could no longer
|
||||
hold Bosch. Pale and in frail health, the falsely accused "terrorist" was
|
||||
flown back to Miami. "Here I could hope for no acquittal," recounted
|
||||
Bosch. "At the airport, immigration officials threw me into chains. I was
|
||||
held in solitary confinement for 29 months."
|
||||
Finally granted a provisional release after leading Cuban-American
|
||||
Republicans pressed his cause without letup, Bosch now lives in seclusion
|
||||
near Miami. "My status is that of a `deportable' alien," he told The
|
||||
SPOTLIGHT. "If I engage in any political activity, or even if I talk too
|
||||
much, I can be tossed back into jail. I am in no position to comment on
|
||||
controversial questions -- not even in my own cause."
|
||||
Living under the assumed name and a small CIA paycheck in Central
|
||||
America also proved difficult for Posada, SPOTLIGHT correspondent Rivero
|
||||
reports. "A couple of years ago, two men walked up to Posada in a
|
||||
Guatemalan restaurant and shot him five times," Rivero related. "He
|
||||
survived the shooting by a sheer miracle. Badly injured -- he lives
|
||||
largely on liquefied food and walks with a crutch, I hear -- he has
|
||||
vanished into the `protective custody' of the CIA."
|
||||
The reason for Posada's attempted assassination is known, however. He
|
||||
"drank a bit and began to talk too much," U.N. sources said. "The CIA
|
||||
needed an airtight cover-up of that airline bombing. When Posada turned
|
||||
talkative, his usefulness to Bush was at an end -- and, but for an iron
|
||||
physique and that miraculous survival, he would have been, too."
|
||||
Now the U.N. Security Council, having assumed jurisdiction over such
|
||||
international terrorist crimes when it clamped harsh sanctions on Libya
|
||||
last April, faces a tougher challenge: How to deal with a case of aerial
|
||||
mass murder in which the principal suspect happens to be THE INCUMBENT
|
||||
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.

*** The "Liberation of the Camps": FACTS vs. LIES ***</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> By Theodore J. O'Keefe
|
||||
_______________________________________________________________________________</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Nothing has been more effective in establishing the authenticity of the Holocaust in the minds of Americans than the terrible scenes U.S. GI's discovered when they entered the German concentration camps at the close of World War II.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> At Dachau, Buchenwald, Dora, Mauthausen, and other work and detention camps, horrified American infantrymen encountered heaps of dead and dying inmates, emaciated and diseased. Survivors told them hair-raising stories of torture and slaughter, a
|
||||
d backed up their claims by showing the GI's crematory ovens, alleged gas chambers, supposed implements of torture, even shrunken heads and lampshades, gloves, and handbags purportedly made from skin flayed from dead inmates.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> U.S. government authorities, mindful that most Americans, who remembered the atrocity stories fed them during World War I, still doubted the Allied propaganda directed against the Hitler regime, resolved to "document" what the GI's had found in
|
||||
he camps. Prominent newsmen and politicians were flown in to see the harrowing evidence, while the U.S. Army Signal Corps filmed and photographed the scenes for posterity. The famous journalist Edward R. Murrow reported, in tones of horror, but no lo
|
||||
ger of disbelief, what he had been told and shown, and Dachau and Buchenwald were branded on the hearts and minds of the American populace as names of infamy unmatched in the sad and bloody history of this planet.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> For Americans, what was "discovered" at the camps - the dead and the diseased, the terrible stories of the inmates, all the props of torture and terror - became the basis not simply of a transitory propaganda campaign but of the conviction that
|
||||
es, it was true: the Germans DID exterminate six million Jews, most of them in lethal gas chambers. What the GI's found was used, by way of films which were mandatory viewing for the vanquished populace of Germany, to "re-educate" the German people b
|
||||
destroying their national pride and their will to a united, independant national state, imposing in their place overwhelming feelings of collective guilt and political impotence. And when the testimony, and the verdict, at Nuremberg incorporated mos
|
||||
, if not all, of the horror stories Americans were told about Dachau, Buchenwald, and other places captured by the U.S. Army, the Holocaust could pass for one of the most documented, one of the most authenticated, one of the most proven historical ep
|
||||
sodes in the human record.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> A Different Reality</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>* But it is known today that, very soon after the liberation of the *
|
||||
* camps, American authorities were aware that the real story of the camps *
|
||||
* was quite different from the one in which they were coaching military *
|
||||
* public information officers, government spokesmen, politicians, *
|
||||
* journalists, and other mouthpieces. *</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> When American and British forces overran western and central Germany in the spring of 1945, they were followed by troops charged with discovering and securing any evidence of German war crimes. Among them was Dr. Charles Larson, one of America's
|
||||
leading forensic pathologists, who was assigned to the Judge Advocate General's Department. Dr. Larson performed autopsies at Dachau and some twenty other German camps, examining on some days more than 100 corpses. After his grim work at Dachau, he w
|
||||
s questioned for three days by U.S. Army prosecutors.^1</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Dr. Larson's findings? According to an interview he gave to an American journalist in 1980, "What we've heard is that six million Jews were exterminated. Part of that is a hoax."^2 And what part was the hoax? Dr. Larson, who told his biographer
|
||||
hat to his knowledge he "was the only forensic pathologist on duty in the entire European Theater,"^3 informed "Wichita Eagle" reporter Jan Floerchinger that "never was a case of poison gas uncovered."^4 Neither Dr. Larson nor any other forensic spec
|
||||
alist has ever been cited by any Holocaust historian to substantiate a single case of death by poison gas, whether Zyklon-B or any other variety.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Typhus, Not Poison Gas</p>
|
||||
|

<p> If not by gassing, how did the unfortunate victims at Dachau, Buchenwald, and Bergen-Belsen perish? Were they tortured to death? Deliberately starved? The answers to these questions are known as well. As Dr. Larson and other Allied medical men d
|
||||
scovered, the chief cause of death at Dachau, Belsen, and the other camps was disease, above all typhus, an old and terrible scourge of mankind which until recently flourished in places where populations were crowded together in circumstances where p
|
||||
blic health measures were unknown or had broken down. Such was the case in the overcrowded internment camps in Germany at war's end, where, despite such measures as systematic delousing, quarantine of the sick, and cremation of the dead, the virtual
|
||||
ollapse of Germany's food, transport, and public health systems led to catastrophe.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Perhaps the most authoritative statement of the facts as to typhus and mortality in the camps has been made by Dr. John E. Gordon, M.D., Ph.D., a professor of preventive medicine and epidemiology at the Harvard University School of Public Health
|
||||
who was with U.S. forces in Germany in 1945. Dr. Gordon reported in 1948 that "The outbreaks in concentration camps and prisons made up the great bulk of typhus infection encountered in Germany." Dr. Gordon summarized the causes for the outbreaks as
|
||||
follows:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> * * *</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Germany was in chaos. The destruction of whole cities and the path left by advancing armies produced a disruption of living conditions contributing to the spread of the disease. Sanitation was low grade, public utilities were seriously disrupted
|
||||
food supply and food distribution was poor, housing was inadequate and order and discipline were everywhere lacking. Still more important, a shifting of populations was occurring such as few countries and few times have experienced.^5</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> * * *</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Dr. Gordon's findings are corroborated by Dr. Russel Barton, today a psychiatrist of international repute, who entered Bergen-Belsen with British forces as a young medical student in 1945. Barton, who volunteered to care for the diseased survivo
|
||||
s, testified under sworn oath in a Toronto courtroom in 1985 that "Thousands of prisoners who died at the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp during World War II weren't deliberately starved to death but died from a rash of diseases."^6 Dr. Barton furth
|
||||
r testified that on entering the camp he had credited stories of deliberate starvations but had decided such stories were untrue after inspecting the well-equipped kitchens and the meticulously maintained ledgers, dating back to 1942, of food cooked
|
||||
nd dispensed each day. Despite noisily publicized claims and widespread popular notions to the contrary, no researcher has been able to document a German policy of extermination through starvation in the German camps.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> No Lampshades, No Handbags, Etc.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> What of the ghoulish stories of concentration camp inmates skinned for their tattoos, flayed to make lampshades and handbags, or other artifacts? What of the innumerable "torture racks," "meathooks," whipping posts, gallows, and other tools of t
|
||||
rment and death that are reported to have abounded at every German camp? These allegations, and even more grotesque ones profferred by Soviet prosecutors, found their way into the record at Nuremberg.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> The lampshade and tattooed-skin charges were made against Ilse Koch, dubbed by journalists the "Bitch of Buchenwald," who was reported to have furnished her house with objects manufactured from the tanned hides of luckless inmates. But General L
|
||||
cius Clay, military governor of the U.S. zone of occupied Germany, who reviewed her case in 1948, told his superiors in Washington: "There is no convincing evidence that she [Ilse Koch] selected inmates for extermination in order to secure tattooed s
|
||||
ins or that she possessed any articles made of human skin."^7 In an interview General Clay gave years later, he stated about the material for the infamous lampshades: "Well, it turned out actually that it was goat flesh. But at the trial it was still
|
||||
human flesh. It was almost impossible for her to have gotten a fair trial."^8 Ilse Koch hanged herself in a West German jail in 1967.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> It would be tedius to itemize and refute the thousands of bizarre claims as to Nazi atrocities. That there were instances of German cruelty, however, is clear from the testimony of Dr. Konrad Morgen, a legal investigator attached to the Reich Cr
|
||||
minal Police, whose statements on the witness stand at Nuremberg have never been challenged by believers in the Jewish Holocaust. Dr. Morgen informed the court that he had been given full authority by Heinrich Himmler, commander of Hitler's SS and th
|
||||
dread Gestapo, to enter any German concentration camp and investigate instances of cruelty and corruption on the part of the camp staffs. According to Dr. Morgen's sworn testimony at Nuremberg, he investigated 800 such cases, in which over 200 convi
|
||||
tions resulted.^9 Punishments included the death penalty for the worst offenders, including Hermann Karl Koch, Ilse's husband, commandant of Buchenwald.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> In reality, while camp commandants in certain cases did inflict physical punishment, such acts had to be approved by authorities in Berlin, and it was required that a camp physician first certify the good health of the prisoner to be disciplined
|
||||
and then be on hand at the actual beating.^10 After all, the camps were throughout most of the war important centers of industrial activity. The good health and morale of the prisoners was critical to the German war effort, as is evidenced by a 1942
|
||||
order issued by SS-Brigadefuhrer Richard Glucks, chief of the office which controlled the concentration camps, which held camp commanders "personally responsible for exhausting every possibility to preserve the physical strength of the detainees."^11</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Concentration Camp Survivors - Merely Victims?</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> U.S. Army investigators, working at Buchenwald and other camps, quickly ascertained what was common knowledge among veteran inmates: that the worst offenders, the cruelest denizens of the camps were not the guards but the prisoners themselves. C
|
||||
mmon criminals of the same stripe as those who populate U.S. prisons today committed many villainies, particularly when they held positions of authority, and fanatical Communists, highly organized to combat their many political enemies among the inma
|
||||
es, eliminated their foes with Stalinist ruthlessness.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Two U.S. Army investigators at Buchenwald, Egon W. Fleck and Edward A. Tenenbaum, carefully investigated circumstances in the camp before its liberation. In a detailed report submitted to their superiors, they revealed, in the words of Alfred To
|
||||
mbs, their commander, who wrote a preface to the report, "how the prisoners themselves organized a deadly terror within the Nazi terror."^12</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Fleck and Tenenbaum described the power exercised by criminals and Communists as follows:
|
||||
* * *</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>. . . The trusties, who in time became almost exclusively Communist Germans, had the power of life and death over all other inmates. They could sentence a man or a group to almost certain death . . . The Communist trusties were directly responsible f
|
||||
r a large part of the brutalities at Buchenwald.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> * * *</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Colonel Donald B. Robinson, chief historian of the American military government in Germany, summarized the Fleck-Tenenbaum report in an article which appeared in "The American Mercury" shortly after the war. Colonel Robinson wrote succinctly of
|
||||
he American investigators' findings: "It appeared that the prisoners who agreed with the Communists ate; those who didn't starved to death."^13</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Additional corroboration of inmate brutality has been provided by Ellis E. Spackman, who, as Chief of Counter-Intelligence Arrests and Detentions for the Seventh U.S. Army, was involved in the liberation of Dachau. Spackman, later a professor of
|
||||
history at San Bernardino Valley College in California, wrote in 1966 that at Dachau "the prisoners were the actual instruments that inflicted the barbarities on their fellow prisoners."^14</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> "Gas Chambers"</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> On December 9, 1944 Col. Paul Kirk and Lt. Col. Edward J. Gully inspected the German concentration camp at Natzweiler in Alsace. They reported their findings to their superiors at the headquarters of the U.S. 6th Army Group, which subsequently f
|
||||
rwarded Kirk and Gully's report to the War Crimes Division. While, significantly, the full text of their report has never been published, it has been revealed, by an author supportive of Holocaust claims, that the two investigators were careful to ch
|
||||
racterize equipment exhibited to them by French informants as a "SO-CALLED lethal gas chamber," and claim it was "ALLEGEDLY used as a lethal gas chamber"^15 [emphasis added].</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Both the careful phraseology of the Natzweiler report, and its effective suppression, stand in stark contrast to the credulity, the confusion, and the blaring publicity which accompanied official reports of alleged gas chambers at Dachau. At fir
|
||||
t, a U.S. Army photo depicting a GI gazing mournfully at a steel door marked with a skull and crossbones and the German words for: "Caution! Gas! Mortal danger! Don't open!" was identified as showing the murder weapon. Later, however, it was evidentl
|
||||
decided that the apparatus in question was merely a standard delousing chamber for clothing, and another alleged gas chamber, this one cunningly disguised as a shower room, was exhibited to American congressmen and journalists as the site where thou
|
||||
ands breathed their last. While there exist numerous reports in the press as to the operation of this second "gas chamber," no official report by trained Army investigators has yet surfaced to reconcile such problems as the function of the shower hea
|
||||
s: Were they "dummies," or did lethal cyanide gas stream through them? (Each theory has appreciable support in journalistic and historiographical literature.)</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> As with Dachau, so with Buchenwald, Bergen-Belsen, and the other camps captured by the Allies. There was no end of propaganda about "gas chambers," "gas ovens," and the like, but so far not a single detailed description of the murder weapon and
|
||||
ts function, not a single report of the kind that is mandatory for the successful prosecution of any assault or murder case in America at the time and today, has come to light.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Furthermore, a number of Holocaust authorities have now publicly decreed that there were no gassings, no extermination camps in Germany after all! All these things, we are told, were located in what is now Poland, in areas captured by the Soviet
|
||||
Red Army and off-limits to Western investigators. In 1960 Dr. Martin Broszat, who is now director of the Munich-based Institute for Contemporary History, which is funded by the West German government to SUPPORT the Holocaust story, wrote a letter to
|
||||
he German weekly "Die Zeit" in which he stated categorically: "Neither in Dachau nor in Bergen-Belsen nor in Buchenwald were Jews or other prisoners gassed."^16 Professional Nazi-hunter Simon Wiesenthal wrote in 1975 that "there were no extermination
|
||||
camps on German soil."^17 And Dachau "gas chamber" No. 2, which was once presented to a stunned and grieving world as a weapon which claimed hundreds of thousands of lives, is now described in the brochure issued to tourists at the modern Dachau "mem
|
||||
rial site" in these words: "This gas chamber, camouflaged as a shower room, was not used."^18</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> The Propaganda Intensifies</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> More than forty years after American troops entered Dachau, Buchenwald, and the other German camps, and trained American investigators established the facts as to what had gone on in them, the government in Washington, the entertainment media in
|
||||
Hollywood, and the print media in New York continue to churn out millions of words and images annually on the horrors of the camps and the infamy of the Holocaust. Despite the fact that, with the exception of the defeated Confederacy, no enemy of Ame
|
||||
ica has ever so suffered so complete and devestating defeat as did Germany in 1945, the mass media and the politicians and bureaucrats behave as if Hitler, his troops, and his concentration camps continue to exist in an eternal present, and our opini
|
||||
n makers continue to distort, through ignorance or malice, the facts about the camps.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Time for the Truth</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> It is time that the government and the professional historians revealed the facts about Dachau, Buchenwald, and the other camps. It is time that they let the American public know how the inmates died, and how they didn't die. It is time that the
|
||||
claims as to mass murder by gassing were clarified and investigated in the same manner as any other claims of murder are dealt with. It is time that the free ride certain groups have enjoyed as the result of unchallenged Holocaust claims be terminate
|
||||
, just as it is time that other groups, including Germans, eastern Europeans, the Roman Catholic hierarchy, and the wartime leadership of America and Britain stop being scapegoated, either for their alleged role in the Holocaust or their supposed fai
|
||||
ure to stop it.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Above all, it is time that the citizens of this great democratic Republic have the facts about the camps, facts which they possess a right to know, a right that is fundamental to the exercise of their authority and their will in the governance o
|
||||
their country. As citizens and as taxpayers, Americans of all ethnic backgrounds, of all faiths, have a basic right and an overriding interest in determining the facts of incidents which are deemed by those in positions of power to be determinative
|
||||
n America's foreign policy, in its educational policy, in its selection of past events to be memorialized in our civic life. The alleged facts of the Holocaust are today at issue all over the civilized world: in Germany, in France, in Italy, in Brita
|
||||
n, in the Low Countries and Scandinavia, in Japan, across our border in Canada and in the United States of America itself. The truth will be decided only by recourse to the facts, in the public forum: not by concealing the facts, denying the truth, s
|
||||
onewalling reality. The truth will out, and it is time the government of this country, and governments and international bodies throughout the world, made public and patent the evidence of what actually transpired in the German concentration camps in
|
||||
the years 1933-1945, so that we may put paid to the lies, without fear or favor, and carry out the work of reconciliation and renewal that is and must be the granite foundation of mutual tolerance between peoples and of a peace based on justice, rath
|
||||
r than on guns, barbed wire, prisons, and lies.</p>

_____________________________________________________________________________
|
||||
| |
|
||||
| The conclusions of the early U.S. Army investigations as to the |
|
||||
| truth about the wartime German concentration camps have since been |
|
||||
| corroborated by all subsequent investigators and can be summarized: |
|
||||
| |
|
||||
| 1. The harrowing scenes of dead and dying inmates were not the result of |
|
||||
| a German policy of "extermination," but rather the result of epidemics of |
|
||||
| typhus and other disease brought about largely by the effects of Allied |
|
||||
| aerial attacks. |
|
||||
| |
|
||||
| 2. Stories of Nazi supercriminals and sadists who turned Jews and others |
|
||||
| into handbags and lampshades for their private profit or amusement were |
|
||||
| sick lies or diseased fantasies; indeed, the German authorities |
|
||||
| consistently punished corruption AND cruelty on the part of camp |
|
||||
| commanders and guards. |
|
||||
| |
|
||||
| 3. On the other hand, the representations of the newly liberated inmates |
|
||||
| to have been saints and martyrs of Hitlerism were quite often very far |
|
||||
| from the truth; indeed, most of the brutalities inflicted on camp |
|
||||
| detainees were the work of their fellow prisoners, in contravention of |
|
||||
| German policy and German orders. |
|
||||
| |
|
||||
| 4. The alleged homicidal showers and gas chambers had been used either |
|
||||
| for bathing camp inmates or delousing their clothes; the claim that they |
|
||||
| had been used to murder Jews or other human beings is a contemptible |
|
||||
| fabrication. Orthodox, Establishment historians and professional "Nazi- |
|
||||
| hunters" have quietly dropped claims that inmates were gassed at Dachau, |
|
||||
| Buchenwald, and other camps in Germany. They continue, however, to keep |
|
||||
| silent regarding the lies about Dachau and Buchenwald, as well as to |
|
||||
| evade an open discussion of the evidence for homicidal gassing at |
|
||||
| Auschwitz and the other camps captured by the Soviets. |

CARTER'S TRUE LEGACY SHOCKING</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> By Mike Blair
|
||||
Exclusive to The SPOTLIGHT</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Washington, DC -- While many frown when they think of the high interest
|
||||
rates, U.S. hostages held abroad and foreign policy giveaways associated
|
||||
with the Carter administration, former President Jimmy Carter's true legacy
|
||||
may be even more shocking than imagined.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Carter seemingly ran an end run around a law passed in the wake of
|
||||
Watergate and signed before Carter took office, which limited White House
|
||||
powers, when he formed the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> FEMA was based on Richard Nixon's Executive Order (EO) 11490.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> The legislation contained nearly 200,000 words on 32 pages. It
|
||||
pertained to every executive order ever issued unless specifically revoked.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> When Carter took office, EO 11490 was incorporated into a new order
|
||||
allowing a president to assume dictatorial powers during any self-
|
||||
proclaimed "emergency" situation; these powers will remain with a president
|
||||
until specifically revoked by Congress.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Some senators thought they had successfully squashed the chief
|
||||
executive's "national emergency" powers more than 10 years ago, after a
|
||||
bipartisan congressional committee pushed the National Emergencies Act into
|
||||
law.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Until September 14, 1976, the nation's chief executive officer was
|
||||
empowered by more than 470 special statues to "seize property, organize and
|
||||
control the means of production, seize commodities, institute martial law,
|
||||
seize and control all transportation and communication, regulate the
|
||||
operation of private enterprise, restrict travel and, in a host of other
|
||||
ways, control the lives of Americans," then-Sen. Frank Church (D-Idaho)
|
||||
said in the _Congressional Record_.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> The National Emergencies Act, which took effect in 1978, was supposed
|
||||
to prevent the nation from turning into a potential dictatorship.
|
||||
Presidents had used their "emergency" powers at least four times in the
|
||||
previous 45 years.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> The president held this little-known sway over citizens through
|
||||
executive orders, which he could write into law in a moment's notice. No
|
||||
group, neither elected officials, business leaders, nor private citizens,
|
||||
had the power to void these laws.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Franklin Roosevelt invoked a national emergency in 1933 to deal with
|
||||
the banking crisis, and Harry Truman responded to the Korean War with an
|
||||
emergency act in 1950.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Richard Nixon declared a pair of crises. In March 1970 he declared a
|
||||
national emergency to deal with the post office strike. The Nixon White
|
||||
House was at it again 16 months later when it implemented currency
|
||||
restriction in August of 1971 in order to control foreign trade.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Then, in 1976, after two years of public hearings and committee
|
||||
meetings, a bipartisan special congressional Committee on Emergency Powers
|
||||
pushed legislation to wrestle power from the White House.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> The National Emergencies Act became law on September 14, 1978,.
|
||||
Senators used the second anniversary of their law to pat each other on the
|
||||
back -- through the _Congressional Record_ -- and to attempt to establish
|
||||
Congress's role in national security.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> "The Congress must never again trade away its responsibilities in the
|
||||
name of national emergency," Church said. "Let that be one of the lessons
|
||||
learned from the investigation completed, the passage of the National
|
||||
Emergencies Act and the termination today of emergency powers."</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Church's warning fell on deaf ears. Less than one year later,
|
||||
President Jimmy Carter ordered into being an entire apparatus --
|
||||
unprecedented in American history -- designed to seize and exercise all
|
||||
political, economic and military power in the United States.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Carter, Ronald Reagan, George Bush or any future president could
|
||||
establish himself as total dictator.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Carter did this with an executive order -- EO 12148.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> An executive order has never been defined by Congress. The validity
|
||||
of such directives has been questioned many times, but there has never been
|
||||
a decision made by the courts or Congress on how far-reaching executive
|
||||
orders may be.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Through existing executive orders it is possible for one person to
|
||||
ignore the Constitution, Congress and the will of the American people. A
|
||||
complete dictatorship can be imposed under the veil of law.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> A declaration by the president of the existence of a "national
|
||||
emergency" has always stopped short of martial law, although the president
|

has that prerogative. Undoubtedly it would be exercised in the event of an
|

attack on the United States.</p>
|

|

<p> An attempt was made to incorporate all the "national emergency" powers
|

into one law under Nixon. However, in the wake of the Watergate scandal,

he was unable to pull off the presidential coup.</p>

<p> Carter, a Trilateralist, did.</p>

<p> CUBA, CASTRO, and the UNITED STATES</p>
|

|

<p> or</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> How One Man With A Cigar</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Dominated American Foreign Policy</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
In 1959, a rebel, Fidel Castro, overthrew the reign of </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Fulgencia Batista in Cuba; a small island 90 miles off the </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Florida coast. There have been many coups and changes of </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>government in the world since then. Few if any have had the </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>effect on Americans and American foreign policy as this one.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> In 1952, Sergeant Fulgencia Batista staged a successful </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>bloodless coup in Cuba . </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Batista never really had any cooperation and rarely </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>garnered much support. His reign was marked by continual </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>dissension.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> After waiting to see if Batista would be seriously opposed, </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Washington recognized his government. Batista had already </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>broken ties with the Soviet Union and became an ally to the </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>U.S. throughout the cold war. He was continually friendly and </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>helpful to American business interest. But he failed to bring </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>democracy to Cuba or secure the broad popular support that </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>might have legitimized his rape of the 1940 Constitution.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> As the people of Cuba grew increasingly dissatisfied with </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>his gangster style politics, the tiny rebellions that had </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>sprouted began to grow. Meanwhile the U.S. government was </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>aware of and shared the distaste for a regime increasingly </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>nauseating to most public opinion. It became clear that Batista </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>regime was an odious type of government. It killed its own </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>citizens, it stifled dissent. (1)</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> At this time Fidel Castro appeared as leader of the growing </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>rebellion. Educated in America he was a proponent of the </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Marxist-Leninist philosophy. He conducted a brilliant guerilla </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>campaign from the hills of Cuba against Batista. On January </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>1959, he prevailed and overthrew the Batista government.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Castro promised to restore democracy in Cuba, a feat </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Batista had failed to accomplish. This promise was looked </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>upon benevolently but watchfully by Washington. Castro was </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>believed to be too much in the hands of the people to stretch </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>the rules of politics very far. The U.S. government supported </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Castro's coup. It professed to not know about Castro's </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Communist leanings. Perhaps this was due to the ramifications </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>of Senator Joe McCarty's discredited anti-Communist diatribes.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> It seemed as if the reciprocal economic interests of the </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>U.S. and Cuba would exert a stabilizing effect on Cuban </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>politics. Cuba had been economically bound to find a market for </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>its #1 crop, sugar. The U.S. had been buying it at prices much </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>higher than market price. For this it received a guaranteed </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>flow of sugar. (2)</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Early on however developments clouded the hope for peaceful </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>relations. According to American Ambassador to Cuba, Phillip </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Bonsal, "From the very beginning of his rule Castro and his </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>sycophants bitterly and sweepingly attacked the relations of </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>the United States government with Batista and his regime".(3) </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>He accused us of supplying arms to Batista to help overthrow </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Castro's revolution and of harboring war criminals for a </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>resurgence effort against him. For the most part these were </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>not true: the U.S. put a trade embargo on Batista in 1957 </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>stopping the U.S. shipment of arms to Cuba. (4) However, his </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>last accusation seems to have been prescient.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> With the advent of Castro the history of U.S.- Cuban </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>relations was subjected to a revision of an intensity and </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>cynicism which left earlier efforts in the shade. This </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>downfall took two roads in the eyes of Washington: Castro's </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>incessant campaign of slander against the U.S. and Castro's </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>wholesale nationalization of American properties.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
These actions and the U.S. reaction to them set the stage </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>for what was to become the Bay of Pigs fiasco and the end of </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>U.S.- Cuban relations.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Castro promised the Cuban people that he would bring land </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>reform to Cuba. When he took power, the bulk of the nations </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>wealth and land was in the hands of a small minority. The huge </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>plots of land were to be taken from the monopolistic owners and </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>distributed evenly among the people. Compensation was to be </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>paid to the former owners. According to Phillip Bonsal, " </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Nothing Castro said, nothing stated in the agrarian reform </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>statute Castro signed in 1958, and nothing in the law that was </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>promulgated in the Official Gazzette of June 3, 1959, warranted </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>the belief that in two years a wholesale conversion of Cuban </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>agricultural land to state ownership would take place".(5) Such </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>a notion then would have been inconsistent with many of the </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Castro pronouncements, including the theory of a peasant </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>revolution and the pledges to the landless throughout the </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>nation. Today most of the people who expected to become </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>independent farmers or members of cooperatives in the operation </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>of which they would have had a voice are now laborers on the </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>state payroll. (6) </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> After secretly drawing up his Land Reform Law, Castro used </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>it to form the National Institute of Agrarian Reform (INRA) </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>with broad and ill defined powers. Through the INRA Castro </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>methodically seized all American holdings in Cuba. He promised </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>compensation but frequently never gave it. He conducted </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>investigations into company affairs, holding control over them </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>in the meantime, and then never divulging the results or giving </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>back the control. (7)</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> These seizures were protested. On January 11 Ambassador </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Bonsal delivered a note to Havana protesting the Cuban </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>government seizure of U.S. citizens property. The note was </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>rejected the same night as a U.S. attempt to keep economic </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>control over Cuba. (8)</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> As this continued Castro was engineering a brilliant </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>propaganda campaign aimed at accusing the U.S. of "conspiring </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>with the counter revolutionaries against the Castro regime"(9). </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Castro's ability to whip the masses into a frenzy with wispy </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>fallacies about American "imperialist" actions against Cuba was </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>his main asset. He constantly found events which he could work </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>the "ol Castro magic " on, as Nixon said , to turn it into </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>another of the long list of grievances, real or imagined, that </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Cuba had suffered.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Throughout Castro's rule there had been numerous minor </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>attacks and disturbances in Cuba. Always without any </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>investigation whatsoever, Castro would blatantly and publicly </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>blame the U.S.. </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Castro continually called for hearings at the Organization </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>of American States and the United Nations to hear charges </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>against the U.S. of "overt aggression". These charges were </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>always denied by the councils. (10)</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Two events that provided fuel for the Castro propaganda </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>furnace stand out. These are the "bombing" of Havana on </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>October 21 and the explosion of the French munitions ship La </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Coubre on March 4, 1960.(11)</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> On the evening of October 21 the former captain of the </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>rebel air force, Captain Dian-Lanz, flew over Havana and </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>dropped a quantity of virulently anti-Castro leaflets. This was </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>an American failure to prevent international flights in </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>violation of American law. Untroubled by any considerations of </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
truth or good faith, the Cuban authorities distorted the </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>facts of the matter and accused the U.S. of a responsibility </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>going way beyond negligence. Castro, not two days later, </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>elaborated a bombing thesis, complete with "witnesses", and </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>launched a propaganda campaign against the U.S. Ambassador </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Bonsal said, "This incident was so welcome to Castro for his </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>purposes that I was not surprised when, at a later date, a </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>somewhat similar flight was actually engineered by Cuban secret </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>agents in Florida."(12)</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> This outburst constituted "the beginning of the end " in </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>U.S.- Cuban relations. President Eisenhower stated ,"Castro's </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>performance on October 26 on the "bombing" of Havana spelled </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>the end of my hope for rational relations between Cuba and the </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>U.S."(13)</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Up until 1960 the U.S. had followed a policy of non </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>intervention in Cuba. It had endured the slander and seizure </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>of lands, still hoping to maintain relations. This ended, </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>when, on March 4, the French munitions ship La Coubre arrived </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>at Havana laden with arms and munitions for the Cuban </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>government. It promptly blew up with serious loss of life. (14)</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Castro and his authorities wasted no time venomously </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>denouncing the U.S. for an overt act of sabotage. Some </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>observers concluded that the disaster was due to the careless </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>way the Cubans unloaded the cargo. (15) Sabotage was possible </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>but it was preposterous to blame the U.S. without even a </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>pretense of an investigation. </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Castro's reaction to the La Coubre explosion may have been </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>what tipped the scales in favor of Washington's abandonment of </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>the non intervention policy. This, the continued slander, and </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>the fact that the Embassy had had no reply from the Cuban </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
government to its representations regarding the cases of </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Americans victimized by the continuing abuses of the INRA.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> The American posture of moderation was beginning to become, </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>in the face of Castro's insulting and aggressive behavior, a </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>political liability. (16)</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> The new American policy, not announced as such, but </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>implicit in the the actions of the United States government was </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>one of overthrowing Castro by all means available to the U.S. </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>short of open employment of American armed forces in Cuba.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> It was at this time that the controversial decision was </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>taken to allow the CIA to begin recruiting and training of </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>ex-Cuban exiles for anti-Castro military service. (17)</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Shortly after this decision, following in quick steps, </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>aggressive policies both on the side of Cuba and the U.S. led </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>to the eventual finale in the actual invasion of Cuba by the </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>U.S!</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> In June 1960 the U.S. started a series of economic </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>aggressions toward Cuba aimed at accelerating their downfall.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> The first of these measures was the advice of the U.S. to </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>the oil refineries in Cuba to refuse to handle the crude </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>petroleum that the Cubans were receiving from the Soviet Union. </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The companies such as Shell and Standard Oil had been buying </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>crude from their own plants in Venezuela at a high cost. The </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Cuban government demanded that the refineries process the crude </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>they were receiving from Russia at a much cheaper price. These </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>refineries refused at the U.S. advice stating that there were </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>no provisions in the law saying that they must accept the </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Soviet product and that the low grade Russian crude would </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>damage the machinery. The claim about the law may have been </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>true but the charge that the cheaper Soviet
|
||||
|
||||
crude damaging the </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>machines seems to be an excuse to cover up the attempted </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>economic strangulation of Cuba. (The crude worked just fine as </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>is soon to be shown)</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Upon receiving the refusal Che Gueverra, the newly </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>appointed head of the National Bank,and known anti-American, </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>seized all three major oil company refineries and began </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>producing all the Soviet crude,not just the 50% they had </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>earlier bargained for. This was a big victory and a stepping </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>stone towards increasing the soon to be controversial alliance </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>with Russia.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> On July 6, a week after the intervention of the refineries, </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>President Eisenhower announced that the balance of Cuba's 1960 </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>sugar quota for the supply of sugar to the U.S. was to be </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>suspended. (18). This action was regarded as a reprisal to </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>the intervention of the refineries. It seems obvious that it </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>was a major element in the calculated overthrow of Castro.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> In addition to being an act of destroying the U.S. record </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>for statesmanship in Latin America, this forced Cuba into </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Russia's arms and vice-versa.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> The immediate loss to Cuba was 900,000 tons of sugar </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>unsold. This was valued at about $100,000,000.(19) Had the </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Russians not come to the rescue it would have been a serious </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>blow to Cuba. But come to the rescue they did, cementing the </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Soviet-Cuban bond and granting Castro a present he could have </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>never given himself. As Ernest Hemingway put it,"I just hope to </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Christ that the United States doesn't cut the sugar quota. That </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>will really tear it. It will make Cuba a gift to the </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Russians." (20) And now the gift had been made.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Castro had announced earlier in a speech that action </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>against the sugar quota would cost Americans in Cuba "down to </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
the nails in their shoes" (21) Castro did his best to carry </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>that out. In a decree made as the Law of Nationalization, he </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>authorized expropriation of American property at Che Gueverra's </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>discretion. The compensation scheme was such that under </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>current U.S. - Cuban trade relations it was worthless and </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>therefore confiscation without compensation.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> The Soviet Unions assumption of responsibility of Cuba's </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>economic welfare gave the Russians a politico-military stake in </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Cuba. Increased arms shipments from the U.S.S.R and </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Czechoslovakia enabled Castro to rapidly strengthen and expand </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>his forces. On top of this Cuba now had Russian military </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>support. On July 9, three days after President Eisenhowers </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>sugar proclamation, Soviet Premier Nikita Kruschev announced, </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>"The U.S.S.R is raising its voice and extending a helpful hand </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>to the people of Cuba.....Speaking figuratively in case of </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>necessity Soviet artillerymen can support the Cuban people with </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>rocket fire. (22) Castro took this to mean direct commitment </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>made by Russia to protect the Cuban revolution in case of U.S. </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>attack. The final act of the U.S. in the field of economic </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>aggression against Cuba came on October 19, 1960, in the form </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>of a trade embargo on all goods except medicine and medical </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>supplies. Even these were to be banned within a few months. </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Other than causing the revolutionaries some inconvenience, all </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>the embargo accomplished was to give Castro a godsend. For the </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>past 25 years Castro has blamed the shortages, rationings, </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>breakdowns and even some of the unfavorable weather conditions </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>on the U.S. blockade.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> On January 6, 1961, Castro formally broke relations with </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>the United States and ordered the staff of the U.S. embassy to </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>leave. Immediately after the break in relations he ordered </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
full scale mobilization of his armed forces to repel an </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>invasion from the United States, which he correctly asserted </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>was imminent. For at this time the Washington administration, </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>under new President-elect Kennedy was gearing up for the Cuban </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>exile invasion of Cuba. The fact that this secret was ill kept </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>led to increased arms being shipped to Cuba by Russia in late </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>1960.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> President Kennedy inherited from the Eisenhower-Nixon </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>administration the operation that became the Bay of Pigs </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>expedition. The plan was ill conceived and a fiasco.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Both Theodore Sorensen and Arthur Schlesinger describe the </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>President as the victim of a process set in motion before his </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>inauguration and which he, in the first few weeks of his </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>administration, was unable to arrest in spite of his </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>misgivings. Mr. Schlesinger writes -"Kennedy saw the project </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>in the patios of the bureaucracy as a contingency plan. He did </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>not yet realize how contingency planning could generate its own </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>reality." (23)</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> The fact is that Kennedy had promised to pursue a more </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>successful policy towards Cuba. I fail to see how the proposed </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>invasion could be looked upon as successful. The plan he </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>inherited called for 1500 patriots to seize control over their </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>seven million fellow citizens from over 100,000 well trained, </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>well armed Castroite militia!</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> As if the plan wasn't doomed from the start, the </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>information the CIA had gathered about the strength of the </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>uprising in Cuba was outrageously misleading. If we had won, </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>it still would have taken prolonged U.S. intervention to make </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>it work. This along with Kennedys decision to rule out </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>American forces or even American officers or experts, whose </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
participation was planned, doomed the whole affair.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Additionally these impromptu ground rules were not relayed </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>to the exiles by the CIA, who were expecting massive U.S. </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>military backing!</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> The exiles had their own problems; guns didn't work, ships </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>sank, codes for communication were wrong, the ammunition was </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>the wrong kind - everything that could go wrong, did. As could </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>be imagined the anti-Castro opposition achieved not one of its </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>permanent goals. Upon landing at the Bay of Pigs on April 17, </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>1961, the mission marked a landmark failure in U.S. foreign </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>politics. By April 20, only three days later, Castro's forces </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>had completely destroyed any semblance of the mission: they </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>killed 300 and captured the remaining 1,200!</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Many people since then have chastised Kennedy for his </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>decision to pull U.S. military forces. I feel that his only </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>mistake was in going ahead in the first place, although, as </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>stated earlier, it seems as if he may not have had much choice.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> I feel Kennedy showed surer instincts in this matter than </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>his advisors who pleaded with him not to pull U.S. forces. For </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>if the expedition had succeeded due to American armed forces </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>rather than the strength of the exile forces and the anti- </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Castro movement within Cuba, the post Castro government would </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>have been totally unviable: it would have taken constant </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>American help to shore it up. In this matter I share the </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>opinion of `ambassador Ellis O. Briggs, who has written "The </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Bay of Pigs operation was a tragic experience for the Cubans </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>who took part, but its failure was a fortunate (if mortifying) </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>experience for the U.S., which otherwise might have been </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>saddled with indefinite occupation of the island.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Beyond its immediately damaging effects, the Bay of Pigs </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
fiasco has shown itself to have far reaching consequences.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Washington's failure to achieve its goal in Cuba provided </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>the catalyst for Russia to seek an advantage and install </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>nuclear missiles in Cuba. The resulting "missile crisis" in </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>1962 was the closest we have been to thermonuclear war.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> America's gain may have been America's loss. A successful </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Bay of Pigs may have brought the United States one advantage. </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The strain on American political and military assets resulting </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>from the need to keep the lid on in Cuba might have lid on Cuba </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>might have led the President of the United States to resist, </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>rather than to enthusiastically embrace, the advice he received </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>in 1964 and 1965 to make a massive commitment of American air </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>power, ground forces, and prestige in Vietnam.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Cuban troops have been a major presence as Soviet </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>surrogates all over the world, notably in Angola.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> The threat of exportation of Castro's revolution permeates </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>U.S.-Central and South American policy. (Witness the invasion </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>of Grenada.)</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> This fear still dominates todays headlines. For years the </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>U.S. has urged support for government of El Salvador and the </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>right wing Contras in Nicaragua. The major concern underlying </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>American policy in the area is Castro's influence. The fear of </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>a Castro influenced regime in South and Central America had </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>such control of American foreign policy as to almost topple the </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Presidency in the recent Iran - Contra affair. As a result the </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>U.S. government has once again faced a crisis which threatens </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>to destroy its credibility in foreign affairs. All because of </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>one man with a cigar.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> In concluding I would like to state my own feelings on the </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
whole affair as they formed in researching the topic. To </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>start, all the information I could gather was one-sided. All </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>the sources were American written, and encompassed an American </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>point of view. In light of this knowledge, and with the </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>advantage of hindsight, I have formulated my own opinion of </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>this affair and how it might have been more productively </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>handled. American intervention should have been held to a </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>minimum. In an atmosphere of concentration on purely Cuban </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>issues, opposition to Castro's personal dictatorship could be </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>expected to grow. Admittedly, even justified American </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>retaliation would have led to Cuban counterretaliation and so </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>on with the prospect that step by step the same end result </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>would have been attained as was in fact achieved. But the </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>process would have lasted far longer; measured American </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>responses might have appeared well deserved to an increasing </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>number of Cubans, thus strengthening Cuban opposition to the </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>regime instead of, as was the case, greatly stimulating </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>revolutionary fervor, leaving the Russians no choice but to </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>give massive support to the Revolution and fortifying the </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>belief among anti-Castro Cubans that the United States was </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>rapidly moving to liberate them. The economic pressures </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>available to the United States were not apt to bring Castro to </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>his knees, since the Soviets were capable of meeting Cuban </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>requirements in such matters as oil and sugar. I believe the </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Cuban government would have been doomed by its own </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>disorganization and incompetence and by the growing </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>disaffection of an increasing number of the Cuban people. Left </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>to its own devices, the Castro regime would have withered on </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>the vine. </p>

<xml><p> CELINE'S LAWS
|
||||
by Hagbard Celine</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> As every thinking person has noticed, our national life has
|
||||
become increasingly weird and surrealistic. The waiting lines at
|
||||
banks and post offices are growing longer all the time, even
|
||||
though demographers tell us US population is no longer rising.
|
||||
The street signs more often than not say WALK on the red and
|
||||
DON"T WALK on the green. You can't get a plumber on the
|
||||
weekends. Nobody has been able to explain the cattle mutilations
|
||||
yet. Every survey shows that the price of consumer goods, the
|
||||
number of violent crimes, and the eerie popularity of THE GONG
|
||||
SHOW are ominously accelerating.
|
||||
I believe I have found the explanation these distressing
|
||||
trends. Needless to say, I cannot present, in a short article,
|
||||
all the evidence which I have accumulated in three decades of
|
||||
careful metasociological research; that will have to await the
|
||||
publication of my three-volume study, "Why Everybody Is Going
|
||||
Bonkers." Here I can only mention the thousands of depth
|
||||
interviewws, the innumerable flowcharts and helix-matrix
|
||||
equations, the vast files of computer readouts, the I CHING
|
||||
divinations, and other rigorous scientific techniques used in
|
||||
developing what I modestly call Celine's Laws of Chaos, Discord
|
||||
and Confusion.
|
||||
Celine's First Law is that National Security is the chief
|
||||
cause of national insecurity!
|
||||
That may sound like a paradox, but I will explain it at one.
|
||||
Every secret police agency must be monitored by an elite corps
|
||||
of secret-police-of-the-second-order. There are numerous reasons
|
||||
for this, but three are especially noteworthy.
|
||||
********************************************************************************************
|
||||
NATIONAL SECURITY IS THE CHIEF CAUSE OF NATIONAL INSECURITY!!!
|
||||
*******************************************************************************</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>1). Infiltration of the secret police, for the purpose of
|
||||
subversion, will always be a prime goal of internal
|
||||
revolutionaries. This is an ordinary part of the spy-counterspy
|
||||
game. There is nothing Weather Underground would like better
|
||||
than having a few agents in the FBI or CIA, for the same reasons
|
||||
that the FBI or CIA would like to have a few agents in Weather
|
||||
Underground.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>2). Such infiltration will also be a prime goal of hostile
|
||||
foreign powers, for the same reasons.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Please note that these are simple facts of the secret-police
|
||||
game, well-known even to the general public, the subject of many
|
||||
ingenious plots in popular spy films, and not particularly
|
||||
alarming...yet. Nonetheless, the seeds of Chaos, Discord,
|
||||
Confusion, and Paranoia are already here, for the simple reason
|
||||
that once a human being develops the habits of worry and
|
||||
suspicion, he or she finds increasing justifications for more
|
||||
worry and more suspicion. For instance, Richard Q. (not his real
|
||||
initial), one of my interview subjects, became concerned, after
|
||||
ten years in the CIA, with the possibility of infiltration by
|
||||
"extraterrestrial" agents. He was eventually retired when he
|
||||
began to claim that demons in the form of dogs wanted him to
|
||||
assassinate Laverne and Shirley. </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>3). Secret-police officials acquire fantastic capacities to
|
||||
blackmail and intimidate others in goverment.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Stalin executed three chiefs of his secret police in a row,
|
||||
because of this danger. One of my informants claims that every
|
||||
president since the National Security Act was passed in 1947 has
|
||||
learned how to have sexual intercourse without making a single
|
||||
audible sound, because of the possible electronic eavesdroppers.
|
||||
As Nixion says so wistfully on the Watergate transcripts, "Well,
|
||||
Hoover performed. He would have fought. That was the point. He
|
||||
would have defied a few people. He would have scared them to
|
||||
death. HE HAS A FILE ON EVERYBODY!" <special>Caps added</special>. Thus, those
|
||||
who employ secret-police organizations MUST monitor them th be
|
||||
sure they are not acquiring too much power.
|
||||
In the United States today, the superelite that monitors the
|
||||
CIA is the National Security Agency. ( And a group called "The
|
||||
Store" monitors the NSA).
|
||||
Here is where a sinister infinite regress enters the game.
|
||||
Any such elite, second or third order secret-police agency must
|
||||
be, according to the above pragmatic and necessary rules, subject
|
||||
to infiltration by native subversives or hostile foreign powers,
|
||||
or to acquiring "too much power" in the opinion of its masters.
|
||||
(It may even be subject, if Richard Q. was correct in his
|
||||
anxieties, to extraterrestrial manipulation). And so, it, too,
|
||||
must be monitored by a secret police of the third order.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> But this third-order secret-police (such as Nixon's notorious
|
||||
"plumbers", or more currently, "The Store"). is also subject to
|
||||
infiltration or to acquiring too much power...and thus, with
|
||||
relentless logic, the infinite regress builds. Once a goverment
|
||||
has n orders of secret police spying on each other, all are
|
||||
potentially suspect, and to be safe a secret police of order n+1
|
||||
must be created. And so on, forever.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>******************************************
|
||||
* THUS WHO EMPLOY SECRET *
|
||||
* POLICE MUST MONITOR THEM TO *
|
||||
* BE SURE THEY ARE NOT ACQUIRING *
|
||||
* TOO MUCH POWER. *
|
||||
****************************************** </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> In practice, of course, this cannot really regress to
|
||||
infinity, but only to the point where every other citizen, or
|
||||
until the funding runs out, whichever comes first.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> National Security in practice, then, must always fall short of
|
||||
the logically ideal infinite regress which we have shown is
|
||||
necessary to the achievement of its goal. In that gap between
|
||||
the ideal of "One nation under survillance, with wiretaps and
|
||||
mail covers for all" andthe strictly limited real situation of
|
||||
finite funding, there is ample encouragement for paranoias of all
|
||||
sorts to flourish. In short, every government that employs
|
||||
secret-police agencies must grow more insecure, not more secure,
|
||||
as the strength, versatility, and power of the secret-police
|
||||
agencies grow.
|
||||
For instance, a certain left-wing nation which has employed
|
||||
secret-police agencies for 61 years has now reached the point
|
||||
where the leaders are terrified of painters and poets. In
|
||||
another, right-wing nation infested with secret-police agencies,
|
||||
several purges have been caused by three practical jokers who
|
||||
regularly call middle-rank officials on the phone and talk in
|
||||
what appears to be a code. The secret police, of course, are no
|
||||
fools, and are aware that this might be what it in fact is, a
|
||||
form of anarchist humor; but they can't be sure.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> What usually happens in such cases is this: an official
|
||||
receives one of these mystery calls, saying perhaps "Pawn to
|
||||
queen rook five. No wife, no horse, no mustache. A boy has never
|
||||
wept nor dashed a thousand kim." He knows immediately that
|
||||
surveillance upon him will be increased tenfold. In the next few
|
||||
days, while memories of all his mistakes, small bribes,
|
||||
incautious remarks, and other incriminating events haunt his
|
||||
imagination, he observes the increased surveillance, and begins
|
||||
to suspect even the most loyal of his subordinates of watching
|
||||
him with eyes that miss nothing and to give a sinister
|
||||
interpertation to everything. Within ten days, he usually
|
||||
attempts to contact a foreign goverment to seek political
|
||||
sanctuary, and the secret-police net closes on him.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> By the same process of worry leading to more worry and
|
||||
suspicion leading to more suspicion, the very act of joining a
|
||||
ecret-police organization will eventually turn a man or woman
|
||||
into a clinical paranoi; in layman's terms, "bananas" or "wigged
|
||||
out." THE AGENT KNOWS WHOM HE IS SPYING ON; BUT HE NEVER KNOWS
|
||||
WHO IS SPYING ON HIM! Could it be his wife, his girl friend, his
|
||||
secretary, the newsboy, the Good Humor man?
|
||||
For these reasons, secret-police agents develop elaborate and
|
||||
complex theories to account for what is actually going on.
|
||||
According to one of my tables of data, there isn't a single
|
||||
theory held by professional conspiracy buffs which isn't also
|
||||
believed by many members of our various secret-police agencies.
|
||||
In fact, the exact percentages of believes in these extravagant
|
||||
scenarios are quite similar among a group of 1,000 CIA agents and
|
||||
a control group of 1,000 readers of the underground press, as
|
||||
shown in table 1.</p>

||||

||||

|
||||
Agents and Underground-Press Readers.

|

* IN RUSSIA, THE GOVERMENT IS *
|
||||
* TERRIFIED OF PAINTERS AND POETS! *
|
||||
************************************</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Now, Table 1 clearly gives a picture of a rather schizzed-out
|
||||
nation. This is the result of the impossible infinite regress
|
||||
and its resultant of worry leading to more worry.
|
||||
Furthermore, if there is a secret police at all, in any nation
|
||||
you care to imagine, every branch and department of that
|
||||
country's government becomes suspect, in the eyes of cautious and
|
||||
intelligent people, as a possible front or funnel to the secret
|
||||
police. (That is, the more shrewd citizens will recognize that
|
||||
something titled a branch of the HEW or even PTA might actually
|
||||
be run by the CIA). Inevitably, the government as a whole, and
|
||||
many nongovernmental agencies, will be regarded by reasonable
|
||||
persons with fear and trepidation. Proverbs like "One can't be
|
||||
too careful these days" and "Better safe than sorry" become a
|
||||
kind of sinister folk wisdom.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> But further yet: any government which already has a secret
|
||||
police (and a secret police monitoring the secret police, etc).
|
||||
will become alarmed on observing that its more hip and
|
||||
intelligent citizens now regard it with loathing and misgivings.
|
||||
The government will therefore increase the size and powers of the
|
||||
secret police. This is the only rational move, within the
|
||||
context of the secret-police game.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>******************************
|
||||
* SOMETHING PASSING AS A *
|
||||
* BRANCH OF HEW MIGHT BE A *
|
||||
* FRONT FOR THE CIA! *
|
||||
****************************** </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> (The only alternative was once suggested sarcastically by
|
||||
playwright Bert Brecht, who said, "If the government doesn't
|
||||
trust the people, why does'nt it dissovle them and elect new
|
||||
people?" No way has yet been invented to elect a new people; so
|
||||
the police state will instead spy on the existing people even
|
||||
more vigorously).
|
||||
This, of course, creates additional paranoia in both the
|
||||
governors and the citizens, because a suffciently pugnacious
|
||||
secret police will eventually "have a file on everybody,"
|
||||
including its own creators. This leads to another infinite
|
||||
regress: the more people will loathe the government, the more
|
||||
power will be given to the secret police.
|
||||
Thus, whether any of the hypothetical conspiracies mentioned
|
||||
earlier really exist or not, a system of clandestine goverment
|
||||
inevitably produces, in both the rulers and the ruled, a mood of
|
||||
paranoia in which such conspiracy theories flourish.
|
||||
This escalating sense of suspiciousness is accelerated by the
|
||||
fact that every secret-police organization engages in both the
|
||||
collection of information and the production misinformation.
|
||||
That is, you score points in the secret-police game both by
|
||||
hoarding signals (information units)---that is, by hiding facts
|
||||
from competitive players---and by foisting false signals (fake
|
||||
information units) on the other players. This creates the
|
||||
situation which I call Optimum Fuckup, in which every participant
|
||||
has rational (not neurotic) cause to suspect that every other
|
||||
player may be attempting to deceive him, gull him, con him, dupe
|
||||
him, and generally misinform him. As Henry Kissinger is rumored
|
||||
to have said, "Anybody in Washington these days who isn't
|
||||
paranoid is crazy!"
|
||||
One could generalize the remark: anyone in the United States
|
||||
today who isn't paranoid must be crazy!!!</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>**********************************
|
||||
* "IF THE GOVERMENT DOESN'T *
|
||||
* TRUST THE PEOPLE, WHY DOESN'T *
|
||||
* IT DISSOLVE THEM AND ELECT A *
|
||||
* NEW PEOPLE?" *
|
||||
**********************************</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> The deliberate production of misinformation (or, as
|
||||
intelligence agencies more euphemistically call it,
|
||||
disinformation) creates a situation profoundly disorienting to
|
||||
the philosopher, the scientist, and the ordinary Joe who wants to
|
||||
know the best time to go to the bank. The desire to discover
|
||||
"what-the-hell-is-really-going-on" (the definition of science
|
||||
offered by physicist Saul-Paul Sirag) is totally incompatible
|
||||
with the circulation of disinformation; we all need to know, at
|
||||
least roughly, what the hell is really going on if we are not to
|
||||
stumble around like blind robots colliding with things we weren't
|
||||
told were there.
|
||||
Maybe the UFO's really exist---or maybe the whole UFO
|
||||
phenomenon is a cover for an intelligence operation. Maybe there
|
||||
are black holes where space and time implode---or maybe the
|
||||
entire black-hole cosmology was created to befuddle and mislead
|
||||
Russian scientists. Maybe Jimmy Carter really exists---or maybe
|
||||
he is, as the National Lampoon claims, an actor named Sidney
|
||||
Goldfarb specially trained to project the down-home virtues that
|
||||
the American people nostalgically seek. Perhaps only three men
|
||||
at the top of the National Security Angency REALLY know the
|
||||
answers to these questions---or perhaps those three are being
|
||||
deceived by certain subordinates (as Lyndon Johnson was deceived
|
||||
by the CIA about Vietnam) and are as disoriented as the rest of
|
||||
us. Such is the logic of a Disinformation Matrix.
|
||||
Personally, I find it easier to believe in UFO's than in black
|
||||
holes or Jimmy Carter; but that may just indicate the damage to
|
||||
my own brain caused by the Optimum Fuckup of the Disinformation
|
||||
Matrix.
|
||||
According to a recent survey 19 per cent of the population
|
||||
believe the moon landings were faked by Stanley Kubrick and a
|
||||
gang of special effects experts. Perhaps these archskeptics are
|
||||
the sanest ones left among us. Who among the readers of this
|
||||
file has a security clearance high enough to be ABSOLUTELY sure
|
||||
that these ultraparanoids are wrong?</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> This general tendency toward chaos discord, and confusion,
|
||||
once a secret police has been established, is complicated and
|
||||
accelerated by Celine's Second Law, to wit: "Accurate
|
||||
communication is only possible in a nonpunishing situation."
|
||||
This is a very simple statement of the obvious, and means no more
|
||||
than that everybody tends to lie a little, to flatter or to
|
||||
protect themselves, when dealing with those who have power over
|
||||
them, especially the power to punish. (this is why communication
|
||||
between parents and children is notoriously befoolzled).
|
||||
Every authoritarian structure can be visualized as a pyramid,
|
||||
with very few at the top and very many at the bottom, as in the
|
||||
flowchart of any corperation or bureaucracy. On each rung,
|
||||
participants bear a burden of nescience in relation to those
|
||||
above them. That is, they must be very, very careful that their
|
||||
natural sensory activities as conscious organisms---the acts of
|
||||
seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, feeling, drawing inferences
|
||||
from perception, etc.---be in accord with the wishes of those
|
||||
above them. This is absolutely vital; job security depends on
|
||||
it. It is much less important---a luxury that can easily be
|
||||
discarded---that these perceptions be in accord with actual
|
||||
reality.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>*************************
|
||||
* COMMUNICATION IS ONLY *
|
||||
* BETWEEN EQUALS. *
|
||||
*************************</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> For instance, in the FBI under J. Edgar Hoover, the agent had
|
||||
to develop the capacity to see godless communists everywhere.
|
||||
Any agent whose perceptions indicated that there were actually
|
||||
very few godless communists anywhere in this country wold
|
||||
experience what psychologists call cognitive dissonance: his or
|
||||
her reality grid was at variance with the official reality grid
|
||||
of the pyramidal authority structure. To talk about such
|
||||
divergent perceptions at all would be to invite suspicions of
|
||||
eccentricity, of intellectual wiseacreing, or of being oneself a
|
||||
godless communist. The same would apply to any Dominican
|
||||
Inquisitor of earlier centuries who lacked the capacity to see
|
||||
witches everywhere. In such authoritarian situations, it is
|
||||
important to see what the authorities see; it is inconvenient,
|
||||
and possibly dangerous, to see what is actually there.
|
||||
But this leads to an equal and opposite burden of omniscience
|
||||
on those at the top, in the Eye of the authoritarian pyramid.
|
||||
All that is forbidden to those at the bottom---the conscious
|
||||
activities of perception andand evaluation---is demanded of the
|
||||
master classes, the elite and the super-elite. They must attempt
|
||||
to do the seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, feeling, thinking,
|
||||
and decisionmaking for the whole society.
|
||||
But a man with a gun (the power to punish) is told only what
|
||||
his target thinks will not cause him to pull the trigger. The
|
||||
elite, with their burden of omniscience, face the underlings,
|
||||
with their burden nescience, and receive only the feedback
|
||||
consistent with their own preconceived notions. The burden of
|
||||
omniscience becomes, in short, another and more complex burden of
|
||||
nescience. Nobody really knows anything anymore, or if they do,
|
||||
they are careful to hide the fact.
|
||||
As the national security paradigm approaches (or attempts to
|
||||
approach) the ideal infinite regress of spies-spying-on-spies-
|
||||
spying-on-spies, etc., the resultant general trepidation causes
|
||||
all persons to hide anything they know (if it differs from the
|
||||
official reality), not only from their superiors, but from peers
|
||||
and inferiors as well. Anybody, after all, might be part of the
|
||||
nth-degree secret police. "One can't be too careful these days."
|
||||
The burden of nescience becomes omnipresent. More and more of
|
||||
reality becomes unspeakable.
|
||||
But as Freud noted, that which is objectively repressed
|
||||
(unspeakable) soon becomes subjectively repressed (unthinkable).
|
||||
Nobody likes to feel like a coward and a liar constantly. It is
|
||||
easier to cease to notice where the official reality grid differs
|
||||
from sensed experience. Thus Optimun Fuckup gradually becomes
|
||||
Terminal Fuckup, and rigiditus bureaucraticus sets in; this is
|
||||
the last stage before all brain activity ceases, and the society
|
||||
is intellectually dead.
|
||||
Celine's Third Law is like unto the first two, and holds that
|
||||
AN HONEST politician is a national calamity.
|
||||
At first glance, this seems preposterous. People of all
|
||||
shades of opinion agree that at least on the axiom that we need
|
||||
more honest politicians, not more crooked ones. Please remember,
|
||||
however, that people of all shades of opinion once agreed that
|
||||
the Earth is flat.
|
||||
Your typical dishonest politician (bocca grande normalis) is
|
||||
interested only in enriching himself at the public expense, a
|
||||
goal he shares with most of his fellow citizens, especially
|
||||
doctors and lawyers. This is normal behavior for our primate
|
||||
species, and society has always been able to endure and survive
|
||||
it.
|
||||
|
||||
********************************
|
||||
* NOBODY KNOWS ANYTHING, OR IF *
|
||||
* THEY DO, THEY ARE CAREFUL TO *
|
||||
* HIDE THE FACT! *
|
||||
********************************</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> An honest politician (bocca grande giganticus) is far more
|
||||
dangerous. He or she is sincerley commited to bettering society
|
||||
by political action. In practice, that means by writing and
|
||||
enacting more laws. Indeed, many groups of idealistic citizens
|
||||
publish rating sheets on politicians every year, and those who
|
||||
have created more laws are estimated as having higher value than
|
||||
those who are frequently absent when bills are voted upon. The
|
||||
assumption is that adding more laws to statute books is a
|
||||
positive achievement, like adding more money to our paychecks or
|
||||
more art works to a museum.
|
||||
A little thought, however, shows that this assumption is not
|
||||
tenable. Every law creates a whole new criminal class; for
|
||||
instance, when marijuana was illegalized in 1937, several hundred
|
||||
thousand formerly law-abiding citizens became criminals
|
||||
overnight, by Act of Congress. As more and more laws are passed,
|
||||
more and more citizens become criminals. The chief cause of the
|
||||
rising crime rate is the rising number of laws being enacted. An
|
||||
honest politician, who keeps his nose to the grindstone and
|
||||
enacts several hundered laws in the course of his career, thereby
|
||||
produces as many as several million new criminals. </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> It is furthermore mathematically demonstrable that the more
|
||||
laws there are, the more restrictions there are on the freedom of
|
||||
the individual. If there were, say, only three laws in a given
|
||||
society---e.g., Thou shalt not kill; thau shalt not steal; thou
|
||||
shalt not lie or defraud---there would be only three restrictions
|
||||
on freedom, which all rational persons would accept as obviously
|
||||
necessary to the maintenance of order. When there are several
|
||||
hundred thousand restrictions on freedom, most of which are felt
|
||||
as extremely irksome by large segments of the populace.
|
||||
In fact, it would take a brigade of lawyers several weeks,
|
||||
minutely examining your affairs, to determine if you are a
|
||||
criminal. Certainly, no ordinary citizen has the time or
|
||||
research facilities to discover if he or sshe is in violation of
|
||||
one out of skillions of laws currently on our statute books. In
|
||||
many cases, two lawyers consulted independently will give
|
||||
opposite opinions about whether or not a given course of action
|
||||
is in violation of the statutes.
|
||||
And new laws are being enacted all the time. Obviously,
|
||||
unless there is a sudden paper shortage, the number of laws on
|
||||
the books will eventually reach the point satirized by T.H.White,
|
||||
in which "everything not prohibited is compulsory." It would
|
||||
then probably only take a few years or decades more for a cadre
|
||||
of honest politicians diligently writing even more laws to reach
|
||||
the complementary point where "everything not compulsory is
|
||||
prohibited."
|
||||
|
||||
*********************************
|
||||
* EVERY LAW CREATES A WHOLE *
|
||||
* NEW CRIMINAL CLASS OVERNIGHT! *
|
||||
*********************************</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> At that stage the nightmare world of Orwell's 1984 will be
|
||||
achieved. Crooked politicians, merely interested in the normal
|
||||
human activity of making themselves rich and comfortable, could
|
||||
never create that ultimate horror; but honest and idealistic
|
||||
politicians bring us closer to it every day, with every new law
|
||||
they enact.
|
||||
These three generalizations---that national security produces
|
||||
national insecurity; that authoritarianism produces
|
||||
miscommunication and eventual idiocy; and that honest politicians
|
||||
are a plague upon society---will be found to fully explain the
|
||||
Decline and Fall of Rome, the Decline and Fall of the British
|
||||
Empire, and the Decline and Fall of any country you care to name.
|

They are as universal as Newton's laws of motion and apply to

ALL cases. Of course, the American Sociological Association says

They said Edison was mad. They said Baron Frankenstein was

<xml><p>CHRISTIANITY AND FREEDOM</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>By JACOB G. HORNBERGER</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Many Americans believe that by supporting the Welfare State,
|
||||
they are fulfilling God's great commandment to "love thy
|
||||
neighbor as thyself." Having been taught in public schools
|
||||
since childhood that the Welfare State helps needy people,
|
||||
Americans usually are filled with a deep sense of guilt and
|
||||
embarrassment whenever they object to any aspect of
|
||||
governmental assistance for others.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Of course, government officials foster these feelings in order
|
||||
to minimize resistance to the Welfare State. For whenever a
|
||||
citizen objects to any part of the welfare system in America,
|
||||
he inevitably is assaulted by political officials with such
|
||||
accusations as: "You hate the poor!"; "You are a racist!"; and
|
||||
"You hate God!" These tactics usually are quite effective in
|
||||
breaking down resistance to welfare programs. And the usual
|
||||
result is that Americans call for reform, rather than
|
||||
elimination, of the Welfare State.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>But, in actuality, the Welfare State is founded on absolutely
|
||||
immoral principles. And not only does a person not further
|
||||
God's work by advocating or defending the Welfare State, he
|
||||
instead denigrates it.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>One can imagine the following scenario when a new arrival gets
|
||||
to the pearly gates:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> St. Peter: What did you do to fulfill God's commandment
|
||||
to love thy neighbor as thyself?</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Applicant: I have here my income tax returns, the
|
||||
Internal Revenue Code, and the Federal Register.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> St. Peter: What meaning do these items have?</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Applicant: St. Peter, you obviously are not familiar with
|
||||
the Welfare State of the United States of America. These
|
||||
items show how much of my tax money was used by the
|
||||
government to help others in need. So, please step aside
|
||||
and let me in.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> St. Peter: You were participating in a way of life which
|
||||
constituted a wilful violation of God's sacred
|
||||
commandment against stealing?</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Applicant: Stealing? What are you talking about? Through
|
||||
my tax payments, people were helped.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> St. Peter: Was not the political process used to take
|
||||
money from people against their will in order to
|
||||
redistribute to others? Were you not supporting and
|
||||
participating in this evil way of life?</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Applicant: Oh! No, that wasn't me. That was the
|
||||
politicians and bureaucrats. I just voted for them, just
|
||||
like other patriotic Americans. Don't blame me for the
|
||||
stealing. Just give me credit for all the good that was
|
||||
done with the loot.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>If I held a gun to a person's head, and demanded "Your money
|
||||
or your life!," most people would believe that I had committed
|
||||
an immoral (and illegal) act. Suppose I needed the money for
|
||||
my (or someone else's) education. Would this change the
|
||||
immoral (and illegal) nature of my act? Most people would
|
||||
respond in the negative. While punishment might be mitigated
|
||||
due to extenuating circumstances, it remains morally (and
|
||||
legally) wrong to steal, no matter how great the need for
|
||||
another person's money.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>But the interesting phenomenon about the Welfare State is that
|
||||
many people believe that by making the exact same act legal--
|
||||
that is, by enshrining it into their political system--it
|
||||
somehow is converted into a moral act. In other words, in the
|
||||
Welfare State, people vote for someone who is given the legal
|
||||
power to take a person's money in order to give it to someone
|
||||
else; then, it is believed that this political act, immoral if
|
||||
committed by a private individual, somehow becomes moral
|
||||
because it is now performed by a democratically elected public
|
||||
official.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>We must also consider the matter of free will--one of the
|
||||
greatest gifts which God bestowed on human beings. He
|
||||
obviously loved us so much that we have been given the freedom
|
||||
even to deny Him (and our neighbor). In other words, while we
|
||||
are told to love Him and others, we are not compelled by Him
|
||||
to do so.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>One of the best examples of this wide ambit of freedom is
|
||||
found in the story of "The Danger of Riches" in the New
|
||||
Testament. A rich man approached Jesus and asked, "Teacher,
|
||||
what good must I do to possess everlasting life?" After the
|
||||
man advised Jesus that he already kept all of the
|
||||
commandments, Jesus told him, "If you seek perfection, go,
|
||||
sell your possessions, and give to the poor. You will then
|
||||
have treasure in heaven. Afterward, come back and follow me."
|
||||
Unable to let go of his material wealth, however, the man went
|
||||
away sad.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The story, of course, is valuable in advising people of the
|
||||
dangers of spiritual or psychological attachment to material
|
||||
things. But the lesson it teaches is important in another way:
|
||||
After the young man chose to reject the suggestion to give
|
||||
everything he had to the poor, Jesus did not ask the political
|
||||
authorities to seize the man's possessions and redistribute
|
||||
them to the poor. In other words, he did not force the man to
|
||||
comply with the suggestion. Since the man had been given the
|
||||
freedom to choose, the choice he made, although not the
|
||||
desired one, was honored.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>It is the vital importance of freedom of choice that advocates
|
||||
of the Welfare State so often forget. They favor "freedom" but
|
||||
only when the person chooses the "right" way. In other words,
|
||||
the person is told, "It is morally and ethically correct that
|
||||
you should share your possessions with others, and you are
|
||||
free to make this decision in your own way . . . but if you
|
||||
choose the wrong way, we shall simply take your money from
|
||||
you, against your will, and do with it what you should have
|
||||
done with it."</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>It is the great principles of freedom of choice and individual
|
||||
responsibity on which the United States was founded. By and
|
||||
large, our American ancestors were free to engage in a
|
||||
tremendously wide range of choices as long as they did not
|
||||
inflict violence or fraud on others. And early Americans
|
||||
believed that the primary purpose of government was to protect
|
||||
the exercise of choice rather than interfere with it. Thus,
|
||||
for the first century of America's history, there was, for
|
||||
example, neither income taxation nor welfare.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Does this mean that our ancestors were evil and mean for not
|
||||
providing a Welfare State as their descendants have? Of course
|
||||
not. It simply means that they believed that each individual
|
||||
should be free to do what he wants with his own money even
|
||||
when, and especially when, it is not in accordance with the
|
||||
wishes of the majority of his fellow citizens. And the irony
|
||||
was that 19th-century America was not only the most prosperous
|
||||
nation in history but also the most charitable nation in
|
||||
history.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>But unfortunately, the American people of the 20th century
|
||||
have rejected and abandoned that philosophy. The idea now is
|
||||
that people must be forced to be "good" through the political
|
||||
plunder of the Welfare State. Money is taken from people
|
||||
against their will so that it can be given to those who need
|
||||
it. And the taxpayers claim "credit" for all of the "good"
|
||||
which the political authorities do with their money.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The result, of course, is that the government has become the
|
||||
means by which everyone is trying to live at the expense of
|
||||
everyone else. Everyone is trying to get his "fair" share of
|
||||
the loot while, at the same time, blocking out of his mind
|
||||
that it is being stolen from his friends, neighbors, and
|
||||
fellow citizens across the land. And everyone is trying to get
|
||||
his "fair" share of the "credit" while doing everything he can
|
||||
to protect his own pocketbook.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>At the end of the year, it is important to count our
|
||||
blessings. Fortunately, we live in a nation in which, by and
|
||||
large (and with many exceptions), the government is
|
||||
constitutionally prohibited from interfering with our
|
||||
religious, intellectual, and political activities. But it is
|
||||
also important, at the beginning of the new year, to make
|
||||
resolutions: Let us resolve to dedicate ourselves to ending
|
||||
the Welfare State by recapturing the vision of freedom,
|
||||
private property, and limited government which guided our
|
||||
American ancestors.</p>

THE CIA'S SECRET WEAPONS SYSTEMS
|
||||
by Andrew Stark</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Exploding wine bottles, guns constructed out of pipes,
|
||||
bullets made of teeth, aspirin explosives: they sound like
|
||||
props from a second-rate spy story. Horrifyingly enough,
|
||||
they are real. The CIA has spent a great deal of its time--
|
||||
and your money--developing countless bizarre weapons for
|
||||
assassination, sabotage, and mass destruction. If that's
|
||||
news to you, it's because the CIA doesn't want these
|
||||
products, some of which are quite easy to put together, to
|
||||
fall into the "wrong hands." As for whether they are in the
|
||||
right hands now--judge for yourself.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> The CIA has developed many exotic and sophisticated devices
|
||||
intended for use in interrogation, sabotage, and assassination.
|
||||
These weapons are necessary--if you grant that what the CIA itself
|
||||
does is necessary. If the CIA wants to eliminate a key KGB agent
|
||||
operating in Hungary, it faces certain problems. It would be
|
||||
virtually impossible to slip a deadly weapon, such as a gun or
|
||||
bomb, past Hungarian customs officials. Thus, the CIA assassin
|
||||
must assemble his weapon from commonly obtainable materials after
|
||||
he crosses the border.
|
||||
The CIA agent might decide to construct a urea nitrate
|
||||
explosive, commonly known as a urine bomb. This weapon is quite
|
||||
deadly, easily exploded, and consists primarily of nitric acid and
|
||||
urine. The urine bomb is one of literally hundreds of murderous
|
||||
weapons in the CIA arsenal.
|
||||
"The New York Times" of September 26, 1975 revealed the
|
||||
existence of guns that shoot cobra-venom darts. Then there was the
|
||||
shoe polish compound intended to make Fidel Castro's beard fall
|
||||
out, so that he would lose his "charisma." And CIA laboratories in
|
||||
Fort Monmouth, New Jersey developed the famous rifle that shoots
|
||||
around corners.
|
||||
Some CIA weapons are designed to kill many people--deadly germs
|
||||
can be released in subways; others are intended to kill a single,
|
||||
specific individual--the Borgia ring contains deadly poison to be
|
||||
slipped into a victim's drink; and still others are standard
|
||||
weapons supplied for such missions as overthrowing the Allende
|
||||
government in Chile in 1973.
|
||||
The information about CIA weapons that you will read in this
|
||||
article generally has not been made public before. It was not
|
||||
intended to be. But your tax dollars pay for these devices; it is
|
||||
your right to know about them.
|
||||
There is a booklet, written in 1977 and distributed to a select
|
||||
group of U.S. mercenaries, titled "CIA Improvised Sabotage
|
||||
Devices." This instructional guidebook, part of "the Combat
|
||||
Bookshelf," was published by Desert Publications, P.O. Box 22005,
|
||||
Phoenix, Arizona 85028. If you want to know how the CIA turns a
|
||||
cigar box into an explosive that can destroy a 10,000-gallon
|
||||
capacity storage tank, then "CIA Improvised Sabotage Devices" is
|
||||
what you should read. You will need it if you want to build the
|
||||
"Water-Drip Electric Delay," a bomb that requires little more than
|
||||
wood scrap, a tin can, and a battery. The "Pocket Watch Electric
|
||||
Delay" requires little more than a watch, a screw, and a battery.
|
||||
The "Mousetrap Electric Release" is another bomb, this one
|
||||
requiring a mousetrap, a trip wire, a battery, and little else. It
|
||||
is described as "an excellent device to use with bazooka rockets
|
||||
against trucks, tanks, or locomotives." The "Chemical
|
||||
Instantaneous Initiator" is made from a sugar-chlorate mix and is
|
||||
effective in sabotaging trains. The "Martini Glass Shaped Charge"
|
||||
is a bomb that also can be made out of a beer can. You might want
|
||||
to try to construct the "Vehicle Booby Trap." The "Potassium
|
||||
Chlorate and Sugar Igniter" and the "Sawdust, Moth Flakes, and Oil
|
||||
Incendiary" can be made with only what you see in their titles.
|
||||
For these and more than fifty other CIA devices, step-by-step
|
||||
instructions on how to make them and illustrations of what they
|
||||
should look like when completed are given. Turn a wine bottle into
|
||||
a bomb. Build a land-mine rocket. Manufacture napalm in your
|
||||
basement. Even the simple how-tos of causing a dust explosion can
|
||||
be found in "CIA Improvised Sabotage Devices."
|
||||
Why is the CIA so deeply involved in sabotage techniques? The
|
||||
CIA might think it is in this country's interest to delay
|
||||
scientific work being done by another nation. Or, the CIA might
|
||||
want to disrupt a nation's economy in the hope that the resulting
|
||||
chaos will lead to civil unrest and the overthrow of the existing
|
||||
government (some of this actually happened in Chile). The original
|
||||
John Rockefeller used such tactics against his competitors. He
|
||||
simply had their refineries blown up.
|
||||
Another pamphlet the CIA would not like you to see is titled
|
||||
"How to Kill," written by John Minnery, edited by Robert Brown and
|
||||
Peder Lund, and published by Paladin Press, Box 1307, Boulder,
|
||||
Colorado 80306. The reason the CIA would prefer that you not see
|
||||
this eighty-eight-page pamphlet, which is unavailable at bookstores
|
||||
and newsstands, is because it contains a number of "ingenious"
|
||||
methods of doing what the title says. Also, Paladin Press, which
|
||||
published a book called "OSS Sabotage and Demolition Manual," is
|
||||
widely regarded by journalists as an organization with close ties
|
||||
to mercenary groups and the CIA. Paladin Press doesn't want you to
|
||||
know that, but how else could they have published the "OSS Sabotage
|
||||
and Demolition Manual?" The Office of Strategic Services was the
|
||||
precursor of today's CIA.
|
||||
This writer's call to Colorado yielded the following
|
||||
conversation:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> "How could you publish the "OSS Sabotage and Demolition Manual,"
|
||||
I asked Peter Lund, editor and publisher of Paladin Press, "if your
|
||||
organization, at the least, was not dealing with former OSS agents?
|
||||
And what about "How to Kill?"
|
||||
"I don't talk to journalists," Lund said.
|
||||
"You're called the Paladin Press. You must publish books. Can
|
||||
I order them?"
|
||||
"No."
|
||||
"Why not? You're a publisher, aren't you?"
|
||||
"We're afraid our publications might fall into the wrong hands."
|
||||
"What are the right hands?" I asked.
|
||||
"I don't talk to journalists."
|
||||
"Have you ever heard of Desert Publications?" I asked.
|
||||
"A fine outfit," Lund said. "If they recommend you, I'll send
|
||||
you our material."
|
||||
"That's my problem," I said. "They don't seem to have a phone
|
||||
number."
|
||||
"Well, they're a good group."
|
||||
"Listen," I said, "wasn't your group, and Desert Publications
|
||||
besides, involved in CIA mercenary activity in Africa?"
|
||||
"I don't know anything about that."
|
||||
"Were you in the Special Forces?"
|
||||
"July 1967 to July 1968 in Vietnam."
|
||||
"Were you CIA?"
|
||||
"I was MACV [Military Armed Forces Command Vietnam]."
|
||||
"You weren't affiliated with CIA?"
|
||||
"I didn't say that."
|
||||
"What do you say?"
|
||||
"We did joint operations with CIA on the Phoenix Program."
|
||||
"Wasn't that a murder operation?"
|
||||
"No. It was snatching people."</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> The Phoenix Program was designed for a job that the CIA
|
||||
euphemistically described as "eliminating the Viet Cong
|
||||
infrastructure." In reality, it was a rampant reign of terror run
|
||||
out of CIA headquarters at Langley, Virginia. Former CIA director
|
||||
William Colby later termed the program "effective." The Phoenix
|
||||
Program was a naked murder campaign, as proved by every realistic
|
||||
report, ranging from the Bertrand Russell Tribunal to the Dellums
|
||||
Committee to admissions by CIA agents themselves. The program
|
||||
killed--and *none* of these killings occurred in combat--18,000
|
||||
people, mostly women and children.
|
||||
But what about Peder Lund, editor and publisher of Paladin
|
||||
Press? The book he edited and published, "How to Kill," outlined a
|
||||
surfeit of murder methods, horrific techniques of causing people to
|
||||
die. For example:
|
||||
"Without getting too deeply into the realm of the bizarre,"
|
||||
wrote John Minnery, the author of "How to Kill" as he proceeded to
|
||||
just that, "a specially loaded bullet made from a human tooth
|
||||
(bicuspid) could be fired under the jaw or through the mouth into
|
||||
the head. The tooth is a very hard bone, and its enamel shell
|
||||
would allow it to penetrate into the brain. The intention here is
|
||||
also to hide the cause of death because the examiner in his search
|
||||
for a projectile will disregard bone fragments."
|
||||
One last example from "How to Kill" should give you the flavor
|
||||
of the book:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Lesson Nine: Hot Wire</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> "Essentially, the weapon is an electrified grid in the urinal
|
||||
basin. This can take the form of a screen cover for the drain
|
||||
or a metal grill. If the urinal is completely porcelain, the
|
||||
screen must be added by the assassin. The drain cover is
|
||||
connected to the electrical system of the washroom by means of
|
||||
an insulated cord that is hidden behind the plumbing.
|
||||
"What happens when the subject uses the urinal should be
|
||||
obvious now. The subject's urine, which is a salty liquid and
|
||||
a perfect conductor of electricity, makes contact with the
|
||||
charged grid, and the shock will kill him."</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> This reporter's investigation revealed that the "Hot Wire" was
|
||||
child's play compared to certain other CIA weapons devices. For
|
||||
instance, I was able to obtain Volumes One and Two of the "CIA
|
||||
Black Book" on improvised munitions, volumes that are stamped "for
|
||||
official use only" on almost every page. It is obvious why the CIA
|
||||
would like these books to remain secret. With elaborate
|
||||
instructions, they describe how to make high explosives from
|
||||
aspirin, how to construct a nail grenade, and how to turn a Coke
|
||||
bottle into a bomb.
|
||||
Described in detail in the "Black Book" is the previously
|
||||
mentioned urea nitrate explosive, or, as it is known to the pros,
|
||||
"the piss bomb." Instructions for the preparation of this weapon
|
||||
assure the maker that animal urine will do as well as human; the
|
||||
important thing is to have ten cups of it, boil it down to one cup,
|
||||
and mix it with the nitric acid.
|
||||
Also described in the "Black Book" is how to construct a pipe
|
||||
pistol, which, as the name indicates, is a gun constructed out of a
|
||||
pipe. Other weapons include a cooking syringe filled with poison
|
||||
that can be stabbed into "the subject's" stomach; a cyanide gas
|
||||
pistol; a throat cutter gauntlet knife (razor sharp and only an
|
||||
inch or so in length); and a mixture of fertilizer and aluminum
|
||||
powder that can be made into a powerful bomb.
|
||||
Why build murder weapons out of such weird material? Is the CIA
|
||||
insane?
|
||||
No. In its own way, the whole thing is perfectly logical.
|
||||
The pamphlet "How to Kill" explained it all: "As most of these
|
||||
devices are homemade, this precludes the possibility of their being
|
||||
traced. They are, in effect, `sanitized' and perfect for
|
||||
assassinations, where weapons are prohibited, or where customs in
|
||||
the hostile country are stringent, so these can be made from local
|
||||
materials."
|
||||
Being a contract killer for the CIA is not all roses. You
|
||||
cannot kill in just any way. A number of attempts have been made
|
||||
on Fidel Castro's life--some with the CIA and the Mafia
|
||||
cooperating--and some of them may have failed because of
|
||||
restrictions imposed on the potential assassins. It would be
|
||||
unacceptable for Castro's murder to be laid at the door of the CIA.
|
||||
This would make Castro a martyr in the eyes of his countrymen.
|
||||
Thus, a method that would suggest death by natural causes must be
|
||||
found.
|
||||
Abundant speculation and considerable evidence suggest that the
|
||||
CIA or some other government agency arranged for the "natural"
|
||||
deaths of David Ferrie, Jack Ruby, George De Mohrenschildt, and
|
||||
other potential witnesses into the assassination of John Kennedy.
|
||||
Some methods of killing, like the injection of an air bubble into
|
||||
the bloodstream, will often go unnoticed by medical examiners.
|
||||
Another hard-to-trace method of killing is to mail a snake to
|
||||
the victim. This is known as killing by long distance. A
|
||||
disadvantage to this method is that the snake might bite an
|
||||
innocent third party who just happens to open the package. The
|
||||
advantage is that once the snake has struck, the evidence can
|
||||
simply slither away.
|
||||
Sometimes, as the CIA knows, killing has to be done at close
|
||||
range. For this purpose, a valuable weapon is the ice pick with a
|
||||
blood arrester attached. The blood arrester is a cloth wrapped
|
||||
near the tip of the ice pick. When the pick is shoved into the
|
||||
victim, the spurting blood is absorbed by the blood arrester.
|
||||
People who see the victim fall will probably think he has had a
|
||||
heart attack. While the onlookers try to help the victim, the
|
||||
assassin uses this valuable ten or fifteen seconds to escape
|
||||
unnoticed.
|
||||
Often it is advisable to use what is called in the trade a
|
||||
"quiet weapon." Silenced weapons can include pistols, rifles, and
|
||||
even machine guns.
|
||||
Poison is a quiet killer. Here is a partial list of the poisons
|
||||
the CIA has become expert at administering: oil of bitter almonds;
|
||||
ant paste; cadmium, used in vapor form, and death is delayed four
|
||||
hours; radiator cleaner, also causing a delayed death;
|
||||
Cantharides (Spanish Fly); ethyl mercury; and freon, heated by a
|
||||
flame. These poisons and many others are listed in "How to Kill."
|
||||
The author then cautions the reader:
|
||||
"Unless otherwise stated, these poisons are either to be
|
||||
injected into the subject, or taken orally by him by adding it to
|
||||
his food. Use common sense in the application of these potions
|
||||
and, if possible, double the O.D. necessary."
|
||||
W.H. Bowart, in his book, "Operation Mind Control" described the
|
||||
CIA's use of drugs: "In 1953, the CIA made plans to purchase ten
|
||||
kilograms of LSD for use in `drug experiments with animals and
|
||||
human beings.' Since there are more than 10,000 doses in a gram,
|
||||
that meant the CIA wanted 100 million doses. The CIA obviously
|
||||
intended to `corner the market' on LSD so that other countries
|
||||
would not be ahead of the U.S. in their potential for `LSD
|
||||
warfare.'"
|
||||
Dr. Albert Hoffman, an early researcher into the uses of LSD,
|
||||
was horrified by what the CIA was doing: "I had perfected LSD for
|
||||
medical use, not as a weapon. It can make you insane or even kill
|
||||
you if it is not properly used under medical supervision. In any
|
||||
case, the research should be done by medical people and not by
|
||||
soldiers or intelligence agencies."
|
||||
Perhaps the most frightening weapon of all is the one that can
|
||||
be used to alter weather and climate. It was used with
|
||||
considerable success in Vietnam. It slowed troop movements with
|
||||
heavy rains, and it destroyed the rice crop, as well. The danger
|
||||
is that these climatological changes may become permanent,
|
||||
affecting not only enemies of the United States, but also the
|
||||
entire planet.
|
||||
Finally, considerable evidence exists that the United States,
|
||||
through the CIA, employed germ warfare during the Korean War. A
|
||||
number of captured pilots testified that germ warfare was used, but
|
||||
their testimony was dismissed as brainwashing. A Marine Corps
|
||||
colonel named Frank H. Schwable signed a germ warfare confession
|
||||
and, according to W.H. Bowart, "named names, cited missions,
|
||||
described meetings and strategy conferences."
|
||||
Schwable later repudiated his confession. But the charges of
|
||||
germ warfare were taken up in front of the United Nations, and a
|
||||
number of countries believed them.
|
||||
The United States, incidentally, was later charged with using
|
||||
nerve gas in Vietnam.
|
||||
What you have read on these pages is pretty revolting stuff.
|
||||
Yet, if the world ought to be saved from Communism, who can say it
|
||||
is not necessary? One danger, of course, is that these terrible
|
||||
weapons have been introduced into our body politic and have
|
||||
produced strange and terrible fruits on our own native soil. When
|
||||
assassination becomes government policy, when men are trained to
|
||||
kill in every conceivable way, when morality is set aside for a
|
||||
"higher good," can even the President of the United States consider
|
||||
himself safe?</p>
