NOT AS FREE AS WE THINK


Sunday, July 1, 2007
We Are Not Nearly As Free As We Think We Are


By Doug Newman Illuminati-News.com

In America, we enjoy a measure of freedom. However,

* We are not nearly as free as we think we are.
* Millions of Americans are willing to relinquish what is left of their liberty.

I have said it countless times and I will say it again: GW Bush is not Adolph Hitler. Neither Al Gore nor John Kerry would have been Joe Stalin. We can vote. We can speak. We can write our congressmen. I can write this without fear of doing time in a forced labor camp on the North Slope of Alaska.

We can worship the God of the Bible or we can worship Allah, Vishnu, a cow or Mungabunga. We can promote creation, evolution or any explanation we want for how we came to be. We can amass wealth. We can invent. We can travel. We can consume alcohol. We can smoke those nasty, raunchy, skanky butts. We can listen to all kinds of music. We can read all kinds of books. We can watch all kinds of movies. We can gamble. We can fornicate. We can go to strip joints and mud wrestling venues.

Moreover, we are communicating on the internet. THE FLIPPIN' INTERNET! Freedom, anyone?

And if we don’t like it, we can leave.

So why am I constantly – in your words – whining about our vanishing liberty?

Because, by any objective measure, our liberty is going away.

I unearthed an old column by Joseph Sobran the other day. In it, he writes of Alexis de Tocqueville’s visit to America in the 1830s:


“Tocqueville wondered whether this happy condition could last. He forecast that democracy would devolve into bureaucracy, and we’d wind up with a ‘mild but extensive’ sort of tyranny, ‘without tortures or terrors’, but strong enough to control an essentially timid populace.”

Indeed, we enjoy a measure of liberty. However, we are subject to myriad intrusions on our ability to maneuver through life. And because so many of us think we are free, we are incredibly easy pickings for those who would enslave us.

Tyranny is a lot like cancer. While early detection is a great thing, prevention is a far better thing. Millions have survived both totalitarianism and cancer. I would rather avoid than survive either of these. This is why I am being so vocal NOW, while I can still do so without fear of government retribution. Consider it early detection.

Consider two things about America as we speak:

* America, “the land of the free”, has the world’s highest incarceration rate.
* All ten planks of the Communist Manifesto are the law of the land and have been for years. Among these are a progressive income tax, inheritance taxes, the federal department of education and the Federal Reserve Bank.

Our society is one of the most tightly controlled societies on earth. These controls are always sold to us with some good intention in mind, e.g. the environment, the children, a drug-free America, victory over terrorism. However, these controls carry a price: i.e. our lives, our liberty and our pursuit of happiness.

I once read that, in a lot of countries, it is probably not a good idea to run down the main street of town yelling, “Death to the president!” However, these governments are not nearly as intrusive into other areas of life as is the United States government. One reason – among many – that so many jobs are going overseas is that industry is not nearly as tightly regulated.

The Founders’ vision was that of a free society, not a perfect society. With this in mind, they gave us a Constitution that severely limited the size and scope of the federal government. Hence, they gave us three branches of government with an intricate system of checks and balances. They delegated 18 powers to the feds.

Not satisfied, a Virginia delegate named George Mason refused to sign the Constitution because it did not contain a declaration of rights. Mason would lead the charge to develop what we now know as the Bill of Rights. These first ten amendments to the Constitution are a bill of prohibitions on federal activity.

While we have never been perfect in our application of this Bill of Rights, this does not excuse the reckless disregard with which our contemporary ruling class treats it. Indeed, when its provisions are violated, the violators always justify their abuses of power by naming precedents. (When W spied on the American people, his amen corner responded by saying that, “Well, Bill Clinton spied on the American people, too.”)

America has two constitutions. One is written. However, this Constitution is not worth the paper it is printed on if the constitution of the people – i.e. what they are made of – is so weak as to rationalize and justify violations of the written Constitution.

And how is our Bill of Rights violated by the current power elite? Here is a partial list, the result of a brainstorm. I will probably be deluged with e-mails naming all kinds of other intrusions on our freedom.

* The Internal Revenue Code
* The gradual removal of expressions of Christianity from the public square
* Campaign finance laws
* The chilling effect of 501(c)(3) on what pastors may preach about
* 20,000 laws infringing on the “right of the people to keep and bear arms”
* The Patriot Act
* The Military Commissions Act
* NSPD 51 and HSPD 20
* John Warner Defense Authorization Act of 2007
* The Real ID Act
* Social Security
* The Drug War
* Airport Security – even before 9/11
* Waco
* Ruby Ridge
* The Elian Raid
* The Brown standoff in Plainfield, NH
* The Hollis Wayne Fincher show trial
* Compulsory school attendance laws
* Government schools in general
* BATF
* FDA
* EPA
* OSHA
* Juries that are not fully informed of their rights to judge both the facts and the law pertaining to a given case
* Prison sentences for “victimless crimes”
* Harassment of home schooling parents
* Minimum wage laws
* Racial hiring quotas
* Asset forfeiture laws
* Seventy thousand pages of regulations in the Federal Register
* The supreme Court hearing a case about a student displaying a banner that read “Bong hits 4 Jesus”
* Roe v. Wade
* Kelo v. New London
* Increasing militarization of America’s police forces
* The Duke lacrosse case
* The merging of the United States into the North American Union with Canada and Mexico
* A whole host of treaties, trade agreements and other schemes to undermine America's sovereignty and bring us under a world government
* And many, many more.

It has never been my intent to be overly negative or pessimistic. However, it has been my intent to take a defensive posture regarding threats to our freedom. Scripture -- Ezekiel 33:6 -- calls us to be watchmen. It is not “negative” to lock doors, save part of your income, buy insurance, cut down on the carbs or exercise more. It is being cautious. Bad things – theft, bankruptcy, obesity, heart attacks -- can and do happen if we are not careful.

Extremely bad things – 7- and 8-digit body counts -- can and do happen if we do not keep a very close eye on our government. The Founders knew this. And they were not always nice about how they expressed themselves.

All the evil, wicked, mean and nasty things that Thomas Jefferson, Patrick Henry, Thomas Payne and others wrote about King George III were directed at a “tyrant” who taxed the colonists at the excruciating rate of about three percent. Moreover, there was no Royal Department of Education, Environmental Protection Ministry or war on drugs in those days.

The result of the rebellion of 1776 was a governmental framework that allowed for greater freedom, productivity, creativity, charity and many other good things than any other society in human history.

And yet millions of Americans are willing to give what remains of this freedom away. Left-wingers are willing to give it away over global warming, which is based on a lot of junk science. Right-wingers are willing to give it away over terrorism, an “enemy” that does not even control the government of Afghanistan and a threat that is totally overblown. Mencken was so right when he stated that:

“The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed -- and thus clamorous to be led to safety -- by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.”

To summarize, there are lots of powerful and well-positioned people who want to deprive Americans of their liberty, and there are millions of Americans who are more than willing to relinquish it. Before they give it up – even temporarily – I would invite them to consider another people who gave up their freedom in 1933 and got it back in 1945. They were the people of Germany. We all know what happened in the interim. Had more Germans been more vocal earlier, Hitler would have been out of power in 1934 and most people never would have heard of him.

I don’t want it to come to this in America. That is why I am being so vocal NOW, while I am free to do so. Eternal vigilance, Jefferson said, is the price of liberty. “Woulda”, “coulda” and “shoulda” are three of the saddest words in the English language. I don’t want to be sitting here -- or in some prison cell -- someday saying, “We woulda kept our freedom and we coulda kept our freedom. We SHOULDA said and done something back in the days when we COULDA!”

Do you?

CONFESSION TO THE JESUITS NO. 31

Confession to the Jesuits No. 31: Is Former Jesuit Gen. Vladimir Ledochowski Good or Evil?

Let his record, not Vatican propaganda, answer the question. Further, did Ledochowski of the Jesuit Order instruct Father Bernhardt Staempfle S.J. to write Mein Kampf ("My Struggle"), to brief Hitler on its contents, attribute him to its authorship and ensure its mass publication?

By Greg Szymanski
June 30, 2007

In this Confession to the Jesuits, No.31, we explore the life and times of former Jesuit Gen. and head of the Society of Jesus from 1915-1942, Wlodimir (Vladimir) Ledochowski.

In an attempt to prove Ledochowski was a man supporting evil, not good, during a tumultuous time in world history, we will look at his motivation, mission and how he manipulated the geopolitical chessboard like an evil magician, not a man of God and the cloth.

Further, we will look at the "black oath" he took as well as numerous charges levied by patriots, claiming Ledochowski violated international
law and, more importantly, God's law.

As we explore Ledochowski's shadowy past, remember this basic assumption: Let the works and deeds of a man prove whether he supported good or evil and do not listen to Jesuit and Vatican propaganda claiming to be following the word of God while their obvious actions prove otherwise.

Ledochowski's Orders And Mission, as given by past Jesuit instruction before he took over as the Black Pope:

"You have been taught to plant insidiously the seeds of jealousy and hatred between communities, provinces, states that were at peace, and to incite them to deeds of blood, involving them in war with each other, and to create revolutions and civil wars in countries that were independent and prosperous, cultivating the arts and the sciences and enjoying the blessings of peace; to take sides with the combatants and to act secretly with your brother Jesuit, who might be engaged on the other side, but openly opposed to that which you might be connected, only that the Church might be the gainer in the end, in the condition fixed in the treaties for peace and that the end justifies the means.

POPE RESTORES 'SACRED LATIN MASS' RITES

Pope revives old Latin Mass, sparks Jewish concern

By Phil Stewart

VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - Pope Benedict, in a decree issued on Saturday, authorized wider use of the old Latin Mass and told the world's 1.1 billion Roman Catholics that his nod to Church traditionalists was nothing to be afraid of.

Jewish groups expressed concern because the decree revived prayers that say Jews are blind to the Christian truth and urge Catholics to pray for their conversion.

One senior figure of a U.S.-based Jewish rights group called the language "insensitive ... insulting" and expressed fears the decree could harm historic reconciliation.

In a letter to bishops, the German-born Pontiff rejected criticism within the Church that his long-awaited move could split Catholics and roll back the clock on reforms introduced in the 1960s, and which are opposed by many traditionalists.

The Second Vatican Council (1962-1965) replaced Latin with local languages in the liturgy, reached out to other religions and struck out texts that Jews found particularly offensive.

"This fear is unfounded," the Pope wrote. "What earlier generations held as sacred, remains sacred and great for us too, and it cannot be, all of a sudden, entirely forbidden or even considered harmful."

Catholics around the world will have the Pope's blessing to ask local priests to celebrate Mass in Latin or get baptized or married according to the old rite. Few are expected to want to return to the very formal rite in a language they do not speak.

If the priest refuses, they can appeal to their bishop who, the Pope said, "is strongly requested to satisfy their wishes". If still unsuccessful, they can go all the way to the Vatican.

Previously, bishops could authorize or deny use of the old Latin mass in their dioceses. Some did while others refused.

The Pope said he wants reconciliation with traditionalists, some of whom were so angered by the 1960s reforms that they broke from Rome, causing the first schism of modern times.

The traditionalists' major flag-bearer is the Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX), founded by the late French archbishop Marcel Lefebvre and which claims about one million members. The Vatican estimates their following at about 600,000.

"Looking back over the past, to the divisions ... not enough was done by the Church's leaders to maintain or regain reconciliation or unity," the Pope said.

JEWISH CONVERSION

The decree made no change in the 1962 missal -- the main prayer book for the old Latin rite -- which includes prayers on Good Friday for the conversion of the Jews.

"The language is insensitive. The language is insulting," said Abraham Foxman, National Director of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), a U.S.-based Jewish civil rights group.

"To placate them (traditionalists), they are willing to set the clock back on such a historic reconciliation?"

The Second Vatican Council repudiated the concept of collective Jewish guilt for Christ's death, highlighted the Jewish roots of Christianity and urged good relations with Jews. Relations improved further under Benedict's predecessor, the late Pope John Paul II.

French Cardinal Jean-Pierre Ricard, whose bishops were among the most outspoken critics of the plan for wider use of the old rite, said the Good Friday prayers could be changed in future.

"If we see that this or that point in this (liturgical) form creates difficulties today, maybe we'll have to modify it," he told journalists in Paris.

Benedict, in his letter, also chastised some Catholics for taking the reforms of the Second Vatican Council too far. But he also warned traditionalist priests that they could not refuse to celebrate mass according to the 1970 missal now in use.

THE GREAT FIRE OF ROME



The Great Fire of Rome


In a hot July summer of 64 A.D., a fire broke out near the Capena Gate (the marketplace near the Circus Maximus) and spread quickly across the entire Circus, and finally it was completely out of control, the fire destroyed nearly half of Rome.

The Roman historian Tacitus records the event:

"First, the fire swept violently over the level spaces. Then it climbed the hills-but returned to ravage the lower ground again. It outstripped every counter-measure. . . Terrified, shrieking women, helpless old and young, people intent on their own safety, people unselfishly supporting invalids or waiting for them, fugitives and lingerers alike--all heightened the confusion."

As the fire blaze out of control some citizens tried every measure to put out the flames. It is told that the citizens were stopped. Also some of the mob lit torches and threw them into the flames to feed the fire. Tacitus make an interesting note about these arsonists who had claimed "they acted under orders. Perhaps they had ... or they may just have wanted to plunder unhampered."

Nero heard the news from his Palace at Antium and rushed to Rome just in time to see the Palatine Palace in flames. His newly built mansion, the Domus Transitoria, was nothing but a pile of smoldering ashes. Nero immediately organized a team of firefighters and provided shelter for the panic stricken people who had been left homeless. The fire burned for nine days, leaving 10 out of its 14 regions in ruins, with the loss of many lives.

Nero decided that he would place the blame on scapegoats, because there was a dangerous rumor that Nero himself had ordered the fire in order to vandalize the capital city, and to free up space for his new building plans. It is recorded that later he indeed took advantage of the situation and began planning and building his Golden House. His scapegoats were none other than the Christians, who were already being accused in one way or another within Roman pagan society. This was officially the time that the active persecution of the Christian Church began. At some point soon after it became a crime to bear the name "Christian" and the suppression of the church became state policy. This persecution would last, off and on, for almost three centuries.

THE ESTABLISHMENT CLAUSE

US SENATE DEBATE ON THE ESTABLISHMENT CLAUSE

At the time of the creation of the Bill of Rights, efforts were made to continue the same government involvement with religion that was experienced under the colonial governments and which had continued under the Articles of Confederation. When the Bill of Rights was being debating in Congress, proponents of a limited establishment sought to incorporate into the First Amendment provisions that would prevent the establishment of a national denomination, but allow other types of federal establishments.

The Senate overwhelmingly rejected every such effort, requiring a broad interpretation of the Establishment Clause, as they did with the Free Exercise Clause. The founding fathers valued full civil and religious freedoms.

Both legislative bodies had opportunity to expressly limit the bar to preferential establishment, but refused. The First Amendment (Article III at the time) as adopted by the House was debated in the Senate in 1791, the following proceeding took place.

The resolve of the House of Representatives . . . was read, as followeth: “Article III Congress shall make no law establishing religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; nor shall the rights of conscience be infringed.”

The Senate resumed the consideration of the resolve of the House of Representatives on the amendments the Constitution of the United States.

On motion to amend Article the third, and to strike out these words; “Religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,: and insert “No religious sect or society in preference to others”:

The vote was in the negative

- - - - -

On motion to adopt the following, in lieu of the third article: “Congress shall make no law infringing the rights of conscience, or establishing any religious sect or society”:

The vote was in the negative

On motion to amend the third Article, to read thus: “Congress shall make no law establishing any particular denomination or religion in preference to another, or prohibiting the fee exercise thereof, nor shall the rights of conscience be infringed”

The vote was in the negative

On motion to adopt the third Article proposed in the resolve of the House of Representatives, amended by striking out these words, “Nor shall the rights of conscience be infringed”

The vote was in the negative

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Leo Pfeffer, specialist in the First Amendment law of church state relations, synthesized the purpose of the proposed changes as follows:

“Congress shall make no law establishing one religious Sect or society in preference to others, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, nor shall the rights of conscience be infringed; {and:} Congress shall make no law establishing any particular denomination or religion in preference to another, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, nor shall the rights of conscience be infringed.”

The refection of these more limited versions, each of which expressly and unambiguously spells out a narrow, non-preferentiality interpretation of the First Amendment, indicates that Congress did not intend such a narrow interpretation.

A NATION OF APATHY TOWARD TRUTH


Last Trumpet Newsletter
Volume XXVI Issue VII July 2007

America - A Nation of Apathy toward Truth!

"Why do ye not understand my speech? Even because ye cannot hear my word. Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not." John 8:43-45

"And then shall that wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie. That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness." II Thessalonians 2:8-12

"And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness, full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity, whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful." Romans 1:28-31

In this issue of the Last Trumpet Newsletter, we will examine the greatest of all problems in the United States at this present time. In fact, it is the condition that leads to all other problems and allows Satan and his Illuministic human stooges to advance their cause and hellish agenda of one-world governance in a new world order. The problem I am referring to is apathy toward truth.

In the Scriptures above, our Saviour told us that it has always been Satan's job and purpose to lay a foundation of deceit and build upon it with lies. Lies thrive in the darkness of misunderstanding and secrecy, but truth shines forth and cannot be hid. People everywhere have a choice to accept or reject the light of truth. If they reject truth, there is nothing left but the darkness of Satan's kingdom and domain. The Lord Jesus clearly stated this as the greatest problem in the world in John 3:19 as follows: "And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil."

We now live in a world full of people who believe a whole lot of things that just aren't so, and they know very little about what is truly happening. It has been correctly stated that you can sell lies, but you cannot give the truth away. I might add that the truth is freely given to all who would gladly receive it and love it. Lies, however, always come with an ever-increasing price. Religions, governments, commerce, and every endeavor of sinful man are built on lies and deceit and are perpetuated by them. All that Satan has built up and established in the world through wars, commotions, craftiness of conspiracies, varieties of religions, and brainwashing philosophies are leading up to one great lie and grand deception at the end of this world. Even now, and more than ever, people everywhere are caught in its tentacles. The world is caught in a world wide web, an ensnaring net or Internet. The effect of all of this is converting people into living images of the beast; who look, talk, and act like programmed stooges and obey like trained seals. These people have no capacity for truth as our Saviour said, and when the throne of the antichrist makes its grand crescendo to rise up, only to quickly fall; the masses of people will rise and fall with it when the last trumpet sounds and our Saviour appears and the sky is filled with heavenly angels. This wondrous and marvelous event is not far off. The urgent question is: are you ready for that imminent day? Where will you be for eternity? The truth is that religion will never save you, and neither will your own best behavior. Only the Lord Jesus can save you, and He will if your truly repent, turn away from evil, and obey the Gospel as they did on the day of Pentecost. You will know immediate peace when you do this. Do it now, while there is a little time left!

Death of a Nation and the Sign of 400 Years!

This year of 2007 is the 400th anniversary of America. (1) The Jamestown colony was founded in 1607 as the first settlement in America, and it was named after the same King James of England that ordered the translation of the Authorized Version, also known as the King James Bible. In a previous publication, I mentioned that the number 400 is highly significant in the Scripture. Israel was in bondage in Egypt for 400 years, and there were 400 years of silence between the Old and New Testaments during which time there was no prophet. In both of these cases, when the 400 years were over, there was a great manifestation of the Almighty in a sovereign move of His Spirit that changed the world forever. Now, America has existed for 400 years! What will happen next?

We know that Satan has been active in the United States of America since its inception, and he has walked to and fro, and up and down in it. The footprints of Satan are seen everywhere in this country although few people recognize them. The powers of occultism and witchcraft have now seized upon this apathetic country, and signs of the end are everywhere. Here let it be noted that in 1990 the elder President Bush, who was the first head of state to use the words New World Order since Adolph Hitler, admitted that he used a crystal ball to make decisions. In an article that appeared in the April 1997 issue of Ladies' Home Journal, we find the following words on page 126: "….Bush was charmed, he brought out this crystal ball, and said, 'Look Nayib, this is how we make decisions at the White House'….." (2)

For hundreds of years, this country has been guided by a strange spirit that is not the Almighty God although the One True God has always blessed and watched over His elect remnant that has the testimony of Jesus Christ. It is for the sake of the Gospel that this nation has survived thus far, not because we are good people.

Satan works in patterns and with numbers shrouded in secrecy. The United States has had exactly thirteen Presidents that were Master Masons in the Blue Lodge and were thus sworn to secrecy. (3) We also know that the clandestine temple room of the Blue Lodge is so named because the ceiling is blue with white stars, which is why our American flag has the exact same pattern in the upper left hand corner. This same blue ceiling with white stars was also in the palace of King Belshazzar of Babylon, which is where God wrote on the wall with the form of a hand and indicated that the kingdom was numbered and finished and weighed in the balances and found wanting and was given over to the Medes and Persians. We must also note that Persia is modern-day Iran!

The footprints or patterns of Satan and his Masonic activities are throughout history, which is why it is said that history repeats itself. Many people have wondered and been amazed at the parallels of the assassinations of Presidents Kennedy and Lincoln and at how the details of the events were precise mirror images of each other. Although many people have heard them, I will present the details once again as carefully planned and manipulated activities of the masterminds of the Illuminati as directed by the force of the one they call the controlling unknown. Consider the following: Abraham Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846, and John F. Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946. Lincoln was elected President in 1860, and Kennedy was elected President in 1960. Both were heavily involved in civil rights. Both lost a child while living in the White House. Both Presidents were shot on a Friday, and both were shot in the head. Lincoln's secretary was named Kennedy, and Kennedy's secretary was named Lincoln. Both were assassinated by southerners, and both were succeeded by southerners named Johnson. Andrew Johnson, who succeeded Lincoln, was born in 1808. Lyndon Johnson, who succeeded Kennedy, was born in 1908. John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated Lincoln, was born in 1839, and Lee Harvey Oswald, who was charged with the assassination of Kennedy, was born in 1939. Both alleged assassins were known by their three names, which in both cases were comprised of fifteen letters. Lincoln was shot at Ford's theater, and Kennedy was shot in a Lincoln car made by Ford. Lincoln was shot in a theater, and his assassin ran and hid in a warehouse. Kennedy's alleged assassin was said to have shot from a warehouse and then to have run to a theater. Booth and Oswald were both shot before their trials. One week before Lincoln was shot, he was in Monroe, Maryland; and one week before Kennedy was shot, he was with Marilyn Monroe. The list goes on and on.

I must also note that John F. Kennedy's mistress, Marilyn Monroe, was a mind-controlled sex slave who was targeted for assassination herself. When she sang happy birthday to President Kennedy in New York City in a sultry and seductive voice, she was introduced by Peter Lawford as the late Marilyn Monroe. Shortly thereafter, she was dead!

It is true that a crescendo of evil has been building in this country for some time, and lately we have been witnessing amazing signs from on high. On May 17th, 2007, a 72 mile-per-hour wind swept through Manhattan along with a deluge of rain. (In occult numerology, the number seventy-two is broken down to twelve sixes. In witchcraft, this indicates three sixes from the four night winds.) Then, in the darkness of that night storm in Manhattan, a massive bolt of blue-white lightning struck the Empire State Building. It was a shocking display of power, and it arrested the attention of all who saw it. (4) Here let it also be noted that former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who is the cross-dressing candidate for President of the United States, was clearly warned by the Almighty while speaking at a debate in New Hampshire on June 8th, 2007. Giuliani was speaking in favor of abortion before a vast audience when lightning struck and knocked out his microphone six different times. It was as if God was telling Rudy Giuliani to shut up six times. The stunned speaker stopped his speech and said, "Having gone to a parochial school, this is a bit frightening." The audience then joined him as he joked and laughed it off! (5)

Another thing that must be mentioned about Rudy Giuliani is that his tongue slipped recently, and he made an amazing admission. Giuliani was speaking at a fundraiser in the Bronx on May 29th, 2007, when he was surprised by two people in the crowd who accused him of knowing in advance that the twin towers would come down on September 11th, 2001, and thus he allowed the death of many people to occur. One accusing woman said to Giuliani, "How do you sleep at night?" The stunned former New York City Mayor quickly tried to defend himself, then he said, "I didn't realize the towers would collapse. No one that I know of had any idea they would implode." (6) The word implode means to demolish from within. The former Mayor knew full well that the planes couldn't and didn't bring those mighty towers down; they were brought down by numerous demolition bombs inside the buildings. This was an amazing admission, but it fell on apathetic ears.

Other Signs of a Dying Nation!

These are strange and confusing times for the people of the United States. On April 26th, 2007, the Dow Index of the stock market hit an all-time high of 13,000. (7) The very next day, Bloomberg News Service reported: Dollar declines to all-time low against the Euro as the economy slows. (8) Such extremes indicate extreme global economic instability. The people of America are now functioning on credit to the extent that they have almost nothing of true value. We are a bankrupt nation that is being forced into a hostile takeover by antichrist forces. People are being set up to receive a new, exclusively electronic, money system, which will be the only way to buy or sell. Leather wallets and purses are giving way to microchips and radio frequency identification devices. All of this is clearly foretold in Revelation, chapter 13. It is undeniable because it is happening before our very eyes.

We also see the massive transportation systems of the United States challenged economically by fuel prices that are nothing short of obscene. We have now learned that OPEC, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, has scheduled its 144th meeting, which is to be held in Vienna, Austria. The date they have chosen for this fateful meeting is one of ominous foreboding. That date is September 11th, 2007. (9) The number 144 is twelve twelves, and in the world of the occult, it indicates new government.

When will the next major assault against America occur on American soil? Apparently, our government is expecting (or should I say planning) something. A major control center is being set up in northeast Pennsylvania that will take over for Wall Street if a terrorist attack or power outage occurs. (10) Government officials and CEO's of industry have worked out a plan with Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley, and others to build a forty-million dollar facility in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania, and it will be ready to manage the entire nation's economy within thirty months. (11) Will this control center, hidden in the eastern mountains of Pennsylvania, be the nerve center of the Antichrist, controlling all buying and selling? Strangely enough, the precise latitude of this new forth-coming facility is North 41-08.042666.

Truly, the erstwhile great nation of the United States of America is being set up for the kill, and the CFR, Council on Foreign Relations, is orchestrating the death of this nation. This foul outfit known as the CFR is the Illuminati in the United States, and its headquarters is located at the Harold Pratt Building, 58 East 68th Street, Manhattan in New York City. I can assure you that this place does exist, and that it is the Illuminati headquarters. I know because I was kicked out of that building three times. It is the CFR that is promoting the influx of illegal aliens and the demise of the American way of life in order to establish the triumviral power of the North American Union, comprised of Mexico, Canada, and the United States. The new currency that is to weld the societies together and manage them is to be called the Amero Dollar.

One vital point that must be stressed is that when I refer to illegal aliens, I am not referring to a race of people, but rather a class of millions of law-breakers who have invaded our country. In fact, America is currently suffering the largest single invasion of a nation in the history of the world, and very few care about it. By every standard of measurement, we have lost our country! Consider the following shocking statistics: The number of illegal aliens in the United States is 20,807,645. The money wired to Mexico since January, 2006, totals $22,213,001,672.00. The cost of Social Security Services for illegal aliens since 1996 totals $397,450,739,563.00. (This is over one-third of a trillion dollars). The number of children of illegal aliens in public schools is 3,958,789. The cost of illegal aliens in grades K-12 since 1996 is $13,965,063,431.00. The number of illegal aliens incarcerated is 332,594. The cost of incarcerations for illegal aliens since 2001 is $1,398,127,429.00. The number of skilled jobs taken by illegal aliens is 9,872,838. (12)

Recently, the popular newspaper USA Today published a report entitled "Nation's minority numbers top 100 million." Included in the report were the following growth rate statistics by group: Hispanic 25.5%, Asian 24.4%, Native American 7.7%, Black 6.9%, and White 1.6%. (13) It must be noted that the white people have a far greater propensity to abort their babies and are guilty of self-inflicted genocide.

We are now hearing about the new NAFTA Superhighway, which is now ready to be built. It was during the Clinton Administration when the North American Free Trade Agreement, NAFTA, was passed. This treaty was a satanic scheme to unify the economies of the United States, Canada, and Mexico. It has virtually destroyed the industrial base in America. The NAFTA plan also called for a superhighway to be built to connect the North American nations for ease of the flow of goods. As it turns out, most of those goods are made in Red China. Soon following the NAFTA agreement, there came an U.S. Supreme Court ruling which expanded the laws of Eminent Domain. These laws allow even private business interests to force land and property owners to give up their real estate in favor of what is esteemed to be in the "best interest" of the majority of society. Now we know why all of this was done. It was to accommodate the building of the invasive corridor that will divide our country and fragment it.

The NAFTA Superhighway is to run from Mexico to Canada, crossing through the United States from Laredo, Texas, to Duluth, Minnesota. The halfway point is Kansas City, Missouri, which is about one thousand miles from either border. The cost of the highway will be $183 billion in new taxes and tolls. The highway is to be the width of four football fields, or nearly one-quarter mile wide. Tens of thousands of American homes, ranches, farms, businesses, and even entire communities will be razed and wiped off the map through Eminent Domain. (14)

Clearly, the massive highway will divide our country in half, and later, into fragments. We know that Satan works in patterns, and even though some prophecies are already fulfilled, we see what appear to be additional fulfillments or similitudes of prophecy. We were told it would be so in Hosea 12:10 as follows: "I have also spoken by the prophets, and I have multiplied visions, and used similitudes, by the ministry of the prophets." Thus, the prophecies have not only one fulfillment, but are rather multiplied. When I think of our nation being cut in half and subsequently fragmented, I am reminded of Daniel 11:39, which describes the activity of an antichrist ruler as follows: "Thus shall he do in the most strong holds with a strange god, whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for gain."

Joel's Prophecy of the Last World War!

The prophet Joel warned us of a final conflict that would lead up to the return of the Lord Jesus Christ, who will come back to this earth with fiery judgment. In Joel 2:30-31 we read as follows: "And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the Lord come." Likewise, we read in Joel 3:14-15, "Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision. The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining."

The prophet Joel describes a series of events which first involve blood, fire, and pillars of smoke. Remember how the twin towers of the World Trade Center were reduced to two pillars of smoke in the midst of blood and fire? Following that tragic event, the entire Middle East became a valley of decision for multitudes, who, for the most part, do not even know what is going on. Wars and rumors of wars fill the news every day. When distractions are needed, there is always some celebrity who is arrested or some scandal that breaks out. It is interesting to note that Paris Hilton is serving jail time at the Twin Towers Correctional Facility in California.

Meanwhile, the war in Iraq grows ever hotter. U.S. General Ronald Keys of the Air Combat Command recently declared that the U.S. Air Fleet is wearing down. Wings are cracked, electrical cables are frayed, and maintenance costs are up 87% just to patch the defective aircraft. (15) Many things are going wrong for the United States, and while there is much talk about global warming, the real problem is global sinning!

On May 22nd, 2007, the United States announced the testing of a new state-of-the-art missile defense system. (16) On May 27th, 2007, the U.S. decided to scrap the test program because of misfires. It was an embarrassing flop! (17) While all of this was going on, Russian President Vladimir Putin began to intensify his threats and opposition to the U.S. missile shield in Eastern Europe. (18) On June 11th, 2007, Putin called for a "new financial world order." A special meeting is being scheduled in St. Petersburg, Russia, where heads of major corporations will be gathering to witness Russia's new economic strength. (19) These are indeed the days of secret meetings, councils, and a new world order.

On May 24th, 2007, Israeli soldiers rounded up and captured thirty-three Palestinian leaders. (20) Iranian leader Ahmadinejad responded as follows: "If this year you repeat the same mistake of the last year, the ocean of nations of the region will get angry and will cut root of the Zionist regime from its stem." (21) All of the signs of an impending war are now appearing. On June 1st, 2007, the U.S. Government issued an official warning to all Americans to not travel to Iran. (22) Historically, such a warning always precedes a war with the country in question. Incidentally, the United States also issued a warning to all Americans to not travel to Venezuela, and this warning was issued on the same day as the warning regarding travel to Iran. (23) The Iraqi War continues to escalate; U.S. troops' death rate is now the highest of the war. (24) On May 25th, Congress approved another $95 billion for wars. (25) President Bush has also created a new and powerful office in the United States. Lt. General Douglas Lute was appointed War Czar on May 16th, 2007. This man is to be in charge of all wars. (26) Will this new War Czar now begin to foment a war with the ancient land of Persia, which is modern-day Iran?

On May 23rd, the news media reported that large amounts of Iranian money had been found in Baghdad by U.S. troops. The money was seized from eleven buildings. (27) Reports have now come in that Iran has united with forces in Iraq and is planning a summer offensive to drive the United States out of Iraq. (28) As I write this newsletter on June 14th, 2007, there are already nine U.S. warships off the coast of Iran, including the carrier strike groups led by the USS John C. Stennis and USS Nimitz. Landing ships are also packed with 17,000 U.S. Marines and sailors who are involved in "war games." The Marines involved in the landing ships are from the thirteenth Marine Expeditionary Unit. (29) Have you been paying attention to the occult numbers?

Witches, Occultists, and Astrologers are Lunatics!

In the realm of Wiccan witchcraft, the moon is diligently watched; and rituals, incantations, spells, and ceremonies are planned around its cycles. The tens of thousands of initiated witches are especially active right now as their June 21st sabat of Midsummer is on the ascending horizon. While such things cannot harm a true Christian, there is a spiritual pressure generated by all of this activity. We must also realize that the power behind our government is witchcraft, which affects all governmental projects and activities. The reason why the religions of occultism are so incredibly active at this time is because a very rare occurrence has arisen. We know that every month has a full moon, but occasionally a month has a second full moon. This is called a blue moon. This occurred on the last day of May 2007. The strange twist is that the blue moon of May 31st reached full stage so late that it was still full on June 1st. That means there will be a second consecutive blue moon at the end of June 2007. This is very rare and is called a split hemisphere blue moon and is the rarest of all lunar occurrences. Witches believe that a blue moon doubles the power of all spells and ritual work. Two blue moons in consecutive months that bind a quarter and cross-quarter sabat together are believed to double lunar power and influence. In addition to that, the normal full moon of June is called the Dyad Moon, and the word Dyad means double. In other words, this period from May 1st to June 30th is the most unusual period of time that has ever happened since records have been kept. We know that witches and occultists are going berserk at this time, and those involved in these forbidden areas are under a strange and clandestine influence. It is a time when people act and react more strangely than ever in government, Hollywood, religions, and every other endeavor. Some people look at all of this as a joke, but it is a real problem. In Matthew 17:14-18 we read as follows: "And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a certain man, kneeling down to him, and saying, Lord have mercy on my son: for he is lunatick, and sore vexed: for ofttimes he falleth into the fire, and oft into the water. And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him. Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I suffer you? Bring him hither to me. And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him: and the child was cured from that very hour."

As we read the above Scriptures, we must understand that the word lunatick as it appears in our Bible, literally means moonstruck. The people of our nation are so moonstricken that the Harry Potter witchcraft stories are runaway best sellers. Now we have learned that the deceived and misled people of the United States will soon have a Harry Potter Theme Park, which is to open in 2009. It will be located in Orlando, Florida, and will include Hogwart's School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the Forbidden Forest, and Hogsmeade Village. (30) There are many other ways that the masses of people are involved in witchcraft, and most do not even realize it. Is our nation moonstruck? Are we becoming a nation of lunatics? Once you know what to look for, witchcraft is everywhere you look!

On June 8th, the space shuttle Atlantis lifted off from Area 39 at the Kennedy Space Center. The liftoff was delayed by damaging hailstones, lightning strikes, and a weird love triangle. Witnesses said the liftoff produced a strange knot of contrails in the sky with the light of the planet Venus peeking through so strangely that people gasped. The entire flight was scheduled to be 11 days but was extended to 13 days. (31) This makes the new return date precisely on the Wicca sabat of Midsummer on June 21st. After Atlantis docked at the International Space Station, some of the computers went into vital failure. There is trouble in this thirteen story space station with its thirteen compartments, and its thirteen thousand pound doors. Truly, the signs of the last of the last days are many, and prophecy is being fulfilled every day. Earthquakes and volcanoes continue, and all of the creation continues to groan and travail. Soon our Saviour will appear to bring all things into judgment. All people will know Him in that great day -- either as Saviour or Judge. How will it be with your soul?

In closing, I would like to especially thank all of you who support this end time prophetic ministry in so many ways. God bless you always and exceedingly for your faithfulness and kindness. We continue to invite you to send your prayer requests, and our prayer teams will give them individual attention. Grace and peace be unto you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Also remember that this newsletter is also available in large print for the visually impaired.

PREPARE FOR THE DAY OF THE LORD

35Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning;


36And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately.

37Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.

38And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.

39And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through.

40Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.

41Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us, or even to all?

42And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season?

43Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.

44Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath.

45But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken;

46The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.

47And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.

48But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.

49I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled?

50But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished!

51Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:

52For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.

53The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.

54And he said also to the people, When ye see a cloud rise out of the west, straightway ye say, There cometh a shower; and so it is.

55And when ye see the south wind blow, ye say, There will be heat; and it cometh to pass.

56Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time?

57Yea, and why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?

58When thou goest with thine adversary to the magistrate, as thou art in the way, give diligence that thou mayest be delivered from him; lest he hale thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee into prison.

59I tell thee, thou shalt not depart thence, till thou hast paid the very last mite.

Luke 12: 35-59.

BUSH: 'MORE PATIENCE, COURAGE, AND SACRIFICE'

Krugman: In Bush's world, only the little people make sacrifices

RAW STORY
Published: Friday July 6, 2007

"On this Fourth of July, President Bush compared the Iraq war to the Revolutionary War and called for 'more patience, more courage and more sacrifice,'" writes Paul Krugman in his column published in the New York Times Friday. "Unfortunately, it seems that nobody asked the obvious question: 'What sacrifices have you and your friends made, Mr. President?'"


Krugman adds, "On second thought, there would be no point in asking that question. In Bush's world, only the little people make sacrifices."


Excerpts from Krugman's op-ed:


#


You see, the Iraq war, although Bush insists that it is part of a Global War on Terror(TRADEMARK), a fight to the death between good and evil, is not like America's other great wars -- wars in which the wealthy shared the financial burden through higher taxes and many members of the elite fought for their country.


This time around, Bush celebrated Mission Accomplished by cutting tax rates on dividends and capital gains, while handing out huge no-bid contracts to politically connected corporations. And in the four years since, as the insurgency he initially taunted with the cry of "Bring them on" has claimed the lives of thousands of Americans and left thousands more grievously wounded, the children of the elite -- especially the Republican elite -- have been conspicuously absent from the battlefield.


The Bushies, it seems, like starting fights, but they do not believe in paying any of the cost of those fights or bearing any of the risks. Above all, they do not believe that they or their friends should face any personal or professional penalties for trivial sins like distorting intelligence to get America into an unnecessary war, or totally botching that war's execution.

TERRORIST LEADER KILLED AGAIN

U.S. eager and it shows in Iraq



A military spokesman acknowledged the mistake after it was called to his attention by The Examiner. He said public affairs officers will be more careful in announcing significant kills.

The incident shows the eagerness of the command to show progress in dismantling al Qaeda at a time when Democrats and some Republicans are pressing President Bush to withdraw troops from Iraq. Army Gen. David Petraeus, the top U.S. commander, has declared al Qaeda enemy No. 1 in Iraq.

Brig. Gen. Kevin Bergner began his Monday news conference with a list of top insurgents either killed or captured in recent operations. He said they had been eliminated "in the past few weeks" and were "recent results."

"In the north, Iraqi army and coalition forces continue successful operations in Mosul," he told reporters. "Kamal Jalil Uthman, also known as Said Hamza, was the al Qaeda in Iraq military emir of Mosul. He planned, coordinated and facilitated suicide bombings, and he facilitated the movement of more than a hundred foreign fighters through safe houses in the area." All told, Bergner devoted 68 words to Uthman's demise.

Uthman was indeed a big kill, and the military featured his death last year in a report titled "Tearing Down al Qaeda."

"The more we can bring down al Qaeda and other terrorist organizations, the greater probability of reducing violence," Army Maj. Gen. William Caldwell, the command's chief spokesman said, in 2006.

Uthman was listed in the 2006 news release as "the chief of military operations [in] Mosul."

When The Examiner pointed out that Uthman's death had been announced twice, a command spokesman said in an e-mail, "You are correct that we did previously announce that we killed him. This was a roll up to show an overall effort against [al Qaeda in Iraq]. We can probably do a better job on saying 'previously announced' when we do long-term roll ups to show an overall effort."

FRED THOMPSON WAS WATERGATE 'MOLE'

Ex-Watergate prober: Thompson 'was mole for the White House'

Will Menaker
Published: Thursday July 5, 2007

According to an article in Wednesday's Boston Globe, GOP presidential hopeful, and one-time Republican Senator from Tennessee, Fred Thompson leaked information to the Nixon white house during the height of the Watergate investigation. In his capacity as the Senate Watergate Committee minority counsel, Thompson tipped off Nixon's attorney that the committee was aware of the president's secret tapping device, and would be making the information public.


In his Watergate memoir, "At That Point in Time," Thompson recalls that he acted with "no authority" in disclosing this information to Nixon. Former investigator for the Democratic majority on the Watergate committee, Scott Armstrong, claims this was just one of many leaks Thompson provided to the Nixon administration.


"Thompson was a mole for the White House," Armstrong claims. "Fred was working hammer and tong to defeat the investigation of finding out what happened to authorize Watergate and find out what the role of the president was." When asked to comment on today's article, Thompson responded, "I'm glad all of this has finally caused someone to read my Watergate book, even though it's taken them over thirty years."


Earlier this year, Watergate icon Bob Woodward stated that Fred Thompson's role in the Watergate investigation was exaggerated and that when Thompson famously asked about the existence of a secret White House taping system, he already "knew the answer."


The role of Thompson as a "mole" for the Nixon White House undermines the cultivated image of a straight shooting and independent minded prosecutor who played a role in bringing down the president. Thompson's website even proclaims that he "gained national attention for leading the line of inquiry that revealed the audio-taping system in the White House Oval Office."

ORDO AB CHAO








"All the world's a stage..." ~ Shakespeare

STAGED EVENTS
also know as
ORDER OUT OF CHAOS
from the Latin
ORDO AB CHAO



The puppetmasters create "disorder" so the people will demand "order". The price of "order" always entails a handing over of control and loss of freedom on the part of the citizenry. Out of "chaos" comes "order" - THEIR order - their new WORLD order.



Orwell Today will list some historical and present-day examples of chaotic events that achieve the aims desired by the powers-that-be. This list is by no means complete but should give people the general idea.



The trick of creating chaos and then seizing power under the pretense of putting things back in order is a tried and true method of deception and manipulation. It's the meaning behind the Latin motto: ORDO AB CHAO meaning ORDER OUT OF CHAOS.



It's also referred to as the Hegelian Dialect after the philosopher Georg Hegel who wrote about its effectiveness. He described it as: THESIS -- ANTITHESIS -- SYNTHESIS.



Others have described it as: PROBLEM -- REACTION -- SOLUTION in that firstly you create the problem; then secondly you fan the flames to get a reaction; then thirdly (like Johnny-on-the-spot) you provide a solution. The solution is what you were wanting to achieve in the first place, but wouldn't have been able to achieve under normal circumstances.



Orwell described it as REALITY CONTROL



There are literally HUNDREDS of examples of this method being used effectively throughout the course of history. A well-known example is the bombing of Pearl Harbor which resulted in the United States entering the Second World War. Chaos was required and so chaos was created. That's how it works. ~ Jackie Jura

SPYING ON AMERICANS: NSA

07/03/07

09:21:18 am, Categories: Voices, 868 words

Spying on Americans: New NSA Whistleblower Speaks

David Swanson


mrpi.de

From Global Research

A former member of U.S. military intelligence has decided to reveal what she knows about warrantless spying on Americans and about the fixing of intelligence in the leadup to the invasion of Iraq.

Adrienne Kinne describes an incident just prior to the invasion of Iraq in which a fax came into her office at Fort Gordon in Georgia that purported to provide information on the location of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction. The fax came from the Iraqi National Congress, a group opposed to Saddam Hussein and favoring an invasion. The fax contained types of information that required that it be translated and transmitted to President Bush within 15 minutes.

But Kinne had been eavesdropping on two nongovernmental aid workers driving in Iraq who were panicked and trying to find safety before the bombs dropped. She focused on trying to protect them, and was reprimanded for the delay in translating the fax. She then challenged her officer in charge, Warrant Officer John Berry, on the credibility of the fax, and he told her that it was not her place or his to challenge such things. None of the other 20 or so people in the unit questioned anything, Kinne said.

Kinne dates this incident to the period just before the official invasion of Iraq or possibly just after. She says that because the US engaged in so much bombing prior to the official invasion, she cannot recall for sure.

Prior to September 11, 2001, Kinne says, it was unacceptable to listen in on or collect information on Americans. The practice was barred by United States Signals Intelligence Directive (USSID) 18. Kinne recalls an incident in 1997 in which an American's name was mentioned, and she and her colleagues deleted every related record because they took very seriously the ban on collecting information on Americans. Kinne was serving from 1994-1998 on active duty as an Arabic linguist for military intelligence at Fort Gordon in Georgia, sending reports to and collaborating with the NSA. She served at the same station after 9-11 when she was activated as a reservist.

Kinne says that post-9-11 she and others routinely collected information on people even after identifying them as aid workers for non-governmental organizations. A common rationale was that the phones of such organizations could conceivably be seized by terrorists. She recalled one case in which she was listening to an American talk to his British colleague in an international aid organization. The Brit expressed concern about the American military eavesdropping, and the American replied that they couldn't possibly be doing that because of USSID 18. Kinne recalls that her colleagues got quite excited and behaved as if the American had divulged secrets by mentioning that directive. They continued eavesdropping on the man although they were unclear at that point whether they were permitted to spy on Americans.

Shortly after this incident, however, in mid-2002, they were given a waiver to spy on Americans. This waiver was communicated to Kinne and her colleagues orally, and she assumed that it had come from the President or someone very high up. The waiver, she says, also permitted spying on Canadian, French, German, Australian, and British citizens without probable cause.

Many of the people, including Americans, whom Kinne spied on were journalists. These included journalists staying at a hotel in Baghdad that later showed up on a list of targets. Again, Kinne says, she expressed concerns to her officer in charge, letting him know that the military should be informed or the journalists should be warned to move to another location. Kinne says Berry brushed her off. He was, she says, "completely behind the invasion of Iraq. He told us repeatedly that we needed to bomb those barbarians back to kingdom come."

Berry was promoted to Chief Warrant Officer. Kinne left, went back to school, and took a job at the Veterans Administration helping some of the victims of the fixing of intelligence that she had witnessed. And early this year she joined a tour of Vermont with activists Cindy Sheehan, John Nichols, Dan DeWalt, and veterans of the war, a tour promoting the passage of impeachment resolutions in Vermont towns, a tour that helped effect the passage of those resolutions in over 40 towns up and down the state. Kinne found the experience "life-changing", and she's now decided to tell everything she knows, and to encourage others still in the government to speak out and release documentation.

"I wish that I had said something back then, but I don't think people would have listened," Kinne said.

Kinne, who now works for the VA at White River Junction, Vermont, said that she has written to Senator Patrick Leahy, who has not replied to her. Kinne has become active in Iraq Veterans Against the War. She said that the news of the current escalation of the war also helped move her to act. "That's the only reason why I am choosing to break whatever rules I may have just broken by telling you about it," Kinne said. "Because I think that this all needs to stop, and it needs to stop now. And the only way it's going to stop is if people start speaking out."

AL QAEDA PUTS ON BIG SHOES,RED NOSE,...

'al-Qaeda' puts on big shoes, red nose, takes custard pie
Journos join Krazy Klown jihadis in slapstick idiocy

Analysis The "car bomber" hysteria gripping much of the British and international media over the weekend has had a bucket of cold water from the Reg already, but just one bucket doesn't seem enough for this kind of outbreak.

To recap: an exceptionally incompetent group of troublemakers, unknown to the plods or spooks, decided to bring a spot of terror to old Blighty starting last Friday. These people had no actual explosives, and were apparently too lazy and ignorant to learn how to make them. Instead, they decided to load cars with petrol, domestic gas cylinders and "containers holding nails", and then set fire to them - either manually or using a cellphone-initiated remote rig of some kind.

Normally reputable news sources used phrases like "explosives-packed cars", "Qaeda Tactics" and "a third attempt to create terror mayhem in Britain in under 36 hours. Only luck saved lives".

This isn't just rightwing hacks pumping up fear so that the evil securocrats can steal money from hospitals, aid, road safety etc, as our own Thomas C Greene has suggested (As an aside, for UK readers, the health-service budget alone is around three times that of the Defence ministry - and the Defence budget is the big fish in the UK securocrat pond).

Regrettably, alongside the usual mongers of terror fear, more liberal journos have also sought to exaggerate the significance of these rather pathetic attacks. In the case of the lefties, the idea is to suggest that had we Brits not mounted recent wars in Southwest Asia, we would be spared this kind of devastating "terror mayhem."

Frankly, if this kind of thing is the only backlash the West experiences for Iraq, we've got off pretty much scot-free: we should indulge in a spot of military adventurism any time we feel like it.

Conversely, if this is all al-Qaeda have to offer, we should never have lost a moment's sleep over them - let alone shoved our valuable appendages into the military meat-grinder of Afghanistan (I'm choosing to assume here that al-Qaeda only became a serious presence in Iraq after we invaded the place. Argue among yourselves as to whether Saddam was more or less threatening than Osama).

Getting back to here and now, these have to be some of the most pathetic terror attacks ever - difficult to distinguish from minor accidents. For goodness' sake, a car is full of petrol anyway; and gas cylinders too often enough. People drive cylinders of gas around all the time. Now and again - oh my god! - they probably carry boxes of nails, bolts, tools or whatever in the same vehicle. (Aiee!)

Sometimes these fiends crash their cars, and sometimes the vehicles burn out. It's one of the costs of living in the industrial world; if people couldn't get fuel - portable energy - easily enough to have accidents with it, most of us would still be dirt-poor, illiterate, shovelling muck for a living and dying like flies from disease - rather than dying very rarely in car crashes or gas explosions.

This kind of event happens on the motorways almost every day, at least the petrol fires and often enough with the other hazards added. The roads get closed off as a result, sometimes for hours - just like the Haymarket did on Friday morning. It causes massive inconvenience to lots and lots of people.

But the perimeter is manned by firemen and traffic cops, not bomb teams and terror-feds. And so this weekend a minor news story - one injured in bunt-out car / suicide attempt causes travel chaos - becomes a big international media frenzy, a "test of the new Prime Minister's mettle," if you please.

It might be a test of ministerial mettle if thousands of British Muslims were burning cars every night, as has happened in France. But what we seem to have here is some foreigners burning just one car and failing to burn two more owing to almost unbelievable incompetence.

The mindset of a man who's willing to set himself on fire to make a point - as one of the Glasgow terror-clowns seems to have done - but not to spend any effort at all on researching methods is a difficult one to understand. Even if these jokers were illiterate or had no internet access (seems unlikely, one of the suspects is apparently a doctor) they could have at least done a test. In my part of town, fun-loving teenagers burn out a car or two down by the canal every week or so: nobody would notice another one with some nails in it.

THEN...

If these guys at the weekend really were anything to do with al-Qaeda, all one can really say is that it looks as though the War on Terror is won. This whole hoo-ha kicked off, remember, with 9/11: an extremely effective attack. Then we had the Bali and Madrid bombings, not by any measure as shocking and bloody but still nasty stuff. Then we had London 7/7, a further significant drop in bodycount but still competently planned and executed (Not too many groups would have been able to mix up that much peroxide-based explosive first try without an own goal).

Now we have this; one terror-clown badly burnt and nobody else hurt at all. An event about as significant as the teenagers burning cars down my way - and don't I wish those little sods got as much police attention and jail time. The jihadi threat has seemingly sunk to animal-lib levels.

Why, it's almost as if suicide bombing was a fairly dumb tactic. The 7/7 bombers seem to have been one of very few terror groups in the UK who were competent enough to make explosives and weren't under plod/spook surveillance, and now they're all dead.

Remember, this country carried on successfully for six years with hundreds - thousands, sometimes - of tons of explosives raining down on it every night for six years, delivered by very competent Germans who often died doing that job. The civilian death toll was around 60,000 according to most sources; the equivalent of 20 9/11s, more than three for every year of the war. Civilisation was not brought down. Germany and Japan withstood even greater violence, and survived it too.

Our parents and grandparents stood that kind of punishment, not to mention four times as many military dead, and got on with life. Sad though it is to confirm the oldsters' world view, by comparison our generation - our generation's journalists, anyway - seem a bit lacking in backbone. If all we have to put up with is an occasional 7/7, that's background noise by comparison - it should merit the same sort of headlines, the same political response as motorway pileups or airline crashes.

And if all we have to deal with is clusterXXXs like the one just past, it should merit the same headlines and response as my local youths; essentially none (Maybe some sort of special cop/spook taskforce with sweeping unconstitutional powers to hand out clips round the ear. Yes yes, I know, there'd be some kind of legal problem).

Move along; nothing to see here. ®

Lewis Page was an armed forces bomb-disposal operator tasked in support of the UK mainland police from 2001 to 2004. He's just bitter because only the crappiest bombers ever operated on his patch - even worse than these ones, usually - and he had to content himself with clearing up old German stuff.
