BACKGROUNDA United Nations Cop on Every Corner in America?United Nations Press Release14 July 1997SC/6397 (UN Security Council press release 6397)SECURITY COUNCIL ENCOURAGES STATES TO MAKE TRAINED CIVILIAN POLICE AVAILABLE AT SHORT NOTICE FOR UNITED NATIONS OPERATIONS
Presidential Statement Encourages Secretary-General To Promote Standardized Approach to Such Training, Recruitment
Noting the increasing role and special functions of civilian police in United Nations peace-keeping operations, the Security Council this morning encouraged States to make appropriately trained police available to the Organization at short notice, if possible through stand-by arrangements. It also encouraged the Secretary-General to guide States, in order to promote a standardized approached to the training and recruitment of civilian police.
Through a statement read out by its President, Foreign Minister of Sweden Lena Hjelm-Wallen, the Council encouraged States to provide appropriate training of civilian police for international service and to seek further means to enhance the ways in which such police components were set up and supported. It encouraged their efforts to organize joint training between civilian and military components designated for United Nations operations, in order to improve coordination and security for personnel in the field.
According to the Council, civilian police performed indispensable functions in monitoring and training national police forces. They could play a major role, through assistance to local police forces, in restoring civil order, supporting the rule of law and fostering civil reconciliation. The Council saw an increasingly important role for them in helping build confidence and security between parties and among local populations, in order to prevent or contain conflicts or to build peace in their aftermath.
The Council underlined the importance of recruiting qualified civilian police for United Nations operations from the widest possible geographic range, and well as of recruiting female officers. It underlined the necessity for United Nations civilian police to be trained, as required, to support the reorganization, training and monitoring of national police and to help defuse tension on the ground through negotiations. The Council considered it essential that such police contingents contain adequate legal expertise.
*******************************************************************
The full text of the presidential statement, to be issued as document S/PRST/1997/38, reads as follows:
"The Security Council has established or authorized a growing number of peace-keeping operations which contain both civilian and military components. It takes particular note of the increasing role and special functions of civilian police in such operations."
"The Security Council notes the efforts by the General Assembly and its Special Committee on Peace-keeping Operations in carrying out their task to review all aspects of peace-keeping operations, including inter alia, enhancing the capacity of the United Nations system to accommodate the growing demand for civilian police in peace-keeping operations. It furthermore commends the efforts of the Secretary-General in this regard. The Council encourages States to look for further means to enhance the ways in which civilian police components of peace-keeping operations are set up and supported."
"The Security Council considers that in operations mandated by the Security Council or the General Assembly the civilian police perform indispensable functions in monitoring and training national police forces and can play a major role, through assistance to local police forces, in restoring civil order, supporting the rule of law and fostering civil reconciliation. It sees an increasingly important role for civilian police, among others, in contributing to the building of confidence and security between parties and among local populations, in order to prevent conflict, to contain conflict or to build peace in the aftermath of conflict."
"The Security Council encourages States to make available to the United Nations at short notice appropriately trained civilian police, if possible through the Untied Nations stand-by arrangements. It welcomes the role of United Nations selection assistance teams in this regard."
"The Security Council underlines the importance of the recruitment of qualified civilian police from the widest possible geographic range to serve in United Nations operations. It also expresses the importance of the recruitment of female police officers to United Nations operations."
"The Security Council encourages States individually or collectively to provide appropriate training of civilian police for international service. It encourages the Secretary-General to provide assistance and guidance to Member States in order to promote a standardized approach towards the training and recruitment of civilian police."
"The Security Council underlines the necessity for United Nations civilian police, in accordance with their mandates, to be trained as required, inter alia, to render assistance and support in the reorganization, training and monitoring of national police and to help defuse tension on the ground through negotiations. The Council furthermore consider it essential that United Nations civilian police contingents contain adequate legal expertise."
"The Security Council underlines the need for close coordination between civilian police and the military, humanitarian and other civilian components of United Nations operations. It encourages efforts by Member States to organize joint training between civilian and military components designated for United Nations operations in order to improve coordination and security for personnel in the field."
"The Security Council expresses its gratitude to those countries which have contributed civilian police to the peace-keeping operation of the United Nations."
The meeting, which was called to order at 11:22 a.m., was adjourned at 11:28 a.m.
G.W. Bush-Bin Laden
Connections
Feds Looked Into G.W.
Bush-Bin Laden Connection In ‘92.
Part One
Bush Said Friend’s Arbusto Investment Was His Own, Not Saudi Money.
Friend "Declined To Comment For The Record." Part Two Houston
Chronicle. June 4, 1992. "Federal authorities are investigating the
activities of a Houston businessman–a past investor in companies controlled by
a son of President Bush–who has been accused of illegally representing Saudi
interests in the United States.
The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network–known as FinCEN–and the FBI are
reviewing accusations that entrepreneur James R. Bath guided money to Houston
from Saudi investors who wanted to influence U.S. policy under the Reagan and
Bush administrations, sources close to the investigations say. FinCEN, a
division of the U.S. Department of Treasury, investigates money laundering.
Special agents and analysts from various law enforcement agencies, including the
Internal Revenue Service and the U.S. Customs Service, are assigned to work with
the FinCEN staff. "The federal review stems in part from court documents
obtained through litigation by Bill White, a former real estate business
associate of Bath . White contends the documents indicate that the Saudis were
using Bath and their huge financial resources to influence U.S. policy. Such
representation by Bath would require that he be registered as a foreign agent
with the U.S.
Department of Justice. In general, people required by law to be registered are
those who represent a foreign entity seeking to influence governmental action or
policy. An Annapolis graduate and former Navy fighter pilot, White, 46, claims
that Bath and the judicial system, under the veil of national security, have
blackballed him professionally and financially because he has refused to keep
quiet about what he regards as a conspiracy to secretly funnel Saudi dollars to
the United States. White became entangled in a series of lawsuits and
countersuits with Bath , who for some six years has prevailed in the courts.
White says the legal action has financially devasted him and Venturcorp Inc.,
the real estate development company in which he and Bath were partners.
"In sworn depositions, Bath said he represented four prominent Saudis as a
trustee [one of whom was Saudi Sheik Salem M. Binladen] and that he would use
his name on their investments. In return, he said, he would receive a 5 percent
interest in their deals. Tax documents and personal financial records show that
Bath personally had a 5 percent interest in Arbusto ‘79 Ltd., and Arbusto
‘80 Ltd., limited partnerships controlled by George W. Bush, President
Bush’s eldest son. Arbusto means bush in Spanish. Bath invested $50,000 in the
limited partnerships, according to the documents. There is no available evidence
to show whether the money came from Saudi interests. (To be concluded
tomorrow.)"George W. Bush’s company, Bush Exploration Co., general
partner in the limited partnerships, went through several mergers, eventually
evolving into Harken Energy Corp., a suburban Dallas-based company. Bush, known
informally as George Jr., is a shareholder and director of Harken, which has
been granted lucrative offshore drilling rights off the coast of Bahrain in the
Persian Gulf. One of the top shareholders of Harken, a public company, is Saudi
businessman Abdullah Taha Bakhsh. Bush said that to his knowledge, Bath ‘s
investment was from personal funds, and no Saudi money was invested in Arbusto .
Bath , 55, a former U.S. Air Force pilot, declined to comment for the record.
Spokesmen for FinCEN and the FBI also declined to comment." According to a
1976 trust agreement, drawn shortly after Bush was appointed director of the
Central Intelligence Agency, Saudi Sheik Salem M. Binladen appointed Bath as his
business representative in Houston. Binladen, along with his brothers, owns
Binladen Brothers Construction, one of the largest construction companies in the
Middle East. According to White, Bath told him that he had assisted the CIA in a
liaison role with Saudi Arabia since 1976.
Bath has previously denied having worked for the CIA. In a sworn deposition,
Bath said he was the sole director of Skyway Aircraft Leasing Ltd., company that
a court document shows is owned by Khaled bin Mahfouz. Bin Mahfouz had been a
major shareholder in the Bank of Credit and Commerce International, a banking
empire that has been accused of money laundering and of using Mideast oil money
to seek ties to political leaders in severalcountries. Mahfouz and his family
own the National Commercial Bank of Saud Arabia. In 1990, Bath bought the
Express Auto Park garage at Hobby Airport for $8.4 million, which included a
$1.4 million loan provided by Mahfouz, according to transaction documents. Bath
received a 5 percent interest in the companies that own and operate Houston Gulf
Airport after purchasing it on behalf of Binladen in 1977. After Binladen died
in 1988, his interests in the airport were taken over by Mahfouz, according to
court documents.–Jerry Urban, 6/4/92
Bush Has Spent More Than $100 Million In Food Aid For Afghans This Year "If
Afghanistan is to be taken on, however, the United States must absorb its
complexities and learn the lessons of past failures there–its own as well as
those of others. Afghanistan is more than a terrorist camp overseen by an
implacably fundamentalist regime. It is also the site of one of the world’s
greatest humanitarian crises, with up to 1 million people in danger of
starvation this year. Some 300,000 people in the capital, Kabul, survive on U.N.
food deliveries, and the United States has spent more than $100 million to
subsidize food aid this year alone. After four years of drought and two decades
of war, the countryside is an economic wasteland, and cities already have been
reduced mostly to rubble. The Taliban’s medieval oppressiveness has made it
unpopular among many Afghans, but the political alternatives to it are hardly
credible. And though it is isolated from almost the entire world, the Taliban
still has backing in Pakistan, an unstable neighbor ruled by a military regime
that now has nuclear weapons."–Wash. Post, 9/15/01
The Shrub as the New 'Papal' Dictator on a Crusade for the Heretics (terrorists)
By all accounts it was a political success. In his address before a joint session of the United States Congress, President Bush issued an ultimatum to the nations of the world: "Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists." The implications are clear. All nations not cooperating fully with the U.S. agenda will be considered the enemy in this new "war on terror."
Merriam-Webster's dictionary defines terrorism as a "systematic use of terror especially as a means of coercion." The Department of Defense describes it as "the calculated use of violence or the threat of violence to inculcate fear; intended to coerce or to intimidate governments or societies in the pursuit of goals that are generally political, religious, or ideological." Even though terrorism may be defined in a variety of ways, the common, underlying belief is that terrorism can only be committed by "terrorists" -- that is, unofficial, non-governmental "fanatics" and "extremists" who are willing to use violence to achieve their political ends.
As with Saddam Hussein, this group of "terrorists" in Afghanistan were armed and employed by the U.S. in the 1980's. "We created the first international jihad in recent history," states Harvard Professor Jessica Stern (Washington Post, 9-18), who worked in the Clinton White House on terrorism issues. Stern was referring to the Afghan mujahideen who the U.S. equipped with American made Stinger anti-aircraft missiles for shooting down Russian aircraft. Many of these fighters, like Osama bin Laden, came from Saudi Arabia to resist the Russian occupation. In what may be referred to as a poetic twist of divine justice, the U.S. is now going to war against the "terrorists" that formerly did the bidding of its Central Intelligence Agency.
Most Americans are unwilling to face the truth that their government has been committing violence to achieve political goals for decades -- the clearest example being the recent NATO air campaign against Serbia. U.S. planes bombed power and heating plants, trains, bridges, homes, schools, and churches, killing thousands of civilians in the process, with the goal of pressuring Serbians into overthrowing their leader, Slobodan Milosevic. It has been hailed as the first bombing campaign to achieve a desired political result. In other words, according to our own government's definition, it was international terrorism.
During the Cold War any attacks by the U.S. on a European state would have triggered a confrontation with the Soviet Union, and possibly nuclear war. The constant tension between East and West maintained an equilibrium that was lost when the Soviet Union collapsed -- causing the United States to succumb to the arrogance that comes with unbridled power.
Arrogance and presumption -- there are no better words for it -- have been displayed by a world power to this degree only one other time since the Bible was written, and that was by the papal power in the middle ages. Ironically, in the days following September 11, President Bush repeatedly used the words "crusade" to describe the upcoming "war on terror", and "barbarians" as the presumed target of our revenge. These words have overtones reminiscent of the Catholic crusades of medieval times when the pope sent crusaders to wipe out the Muslim infidel in the holy land. They appropriately reflect the spirit behind the world's remaining superpower today.
The Catholic church became the preeminent world power after the collapse of the Roman empire. The pope had his own states, but also claimed supreme authority over all earthly governments, reserving the right to depose kings and collect tribute from kingdoms. If a country failed to stamp out "heresy" and enforce the popes religion, or refused to deliver a "heretic" to the papal court, the pope would place it under "interdict", a form of sanctions that struck terror to hearts in medieval times. Or he would declare a "crusade" and raise a "coalition" army from obedient states to pummel the intransigent nation into submission. This power was the "first beast", who received a "deadly wound" when Napoleon took the pope prisoner in 1798.
This "deadly wound" was healed when the U.S. regime assumed the spirit of the papacy in its dealing with the nations -- becoming a reflected image of the first beast. In his speech before Congress, Mr. Bush accused Osama bin Laden's organization, Al Qaeda, as having an international agenda. "...its goal is remaking the world -- and imposing its radical beliefs on people everywhere," he said.
This is a lie, as it is Osama bin Laden's clearly stated purpose to drive the Western occupation out of the middle-east, just as he helped drive the Russians out of Afghanistan. Mr. Bush's accusation is better applied to his own organization, which seeks to remake the world by imposing its system of political and financial controls and pagan world view.
In Afghanistan "you can be jailed for owning a television," complained Mr. Bush. How will the international elite brainwash Afghani children if they can't learn about "alternative lifestyles" and "cultural diversity" on western T.V. shows -- beamed in via satellite? Evidently this is one inequity he will correct after he invades Kabul. No, it is Mr. Bush and his organization that is seeking to remake the world. This beast looks like a lamb but speaks like a dragon.
The "jihad" or holy war is something attributed by the Western media to Muslim militants, but the beast is also conducting a holy war against those opposed to its rule. In America this upcoming war is not just another foreign intervention. It is a patriotic war that has united the various political factions behind the beast. After President Bush gave his address, Senate minority leader Trent Lott said before the cameras, "Tonight there is no opposition party." On September 11 Senate Majority Leader Daschle stated Republicans and Democrats were so tight there was "no air or light" between them.
Recently talk show host Bill Maher made the mistake of saying the terrorists of September 11 were "warriors", and that shooting missiles at targets 2,000 miles away, as the U.S. does, is "cowardly." While these statements were true and reasonable, he enraged many in his viewing audience, causing Federal Express and Sears to pull their ads from his show. Other verbal blunders have elicited similar reprisals. Just like with the politically correct of the Left, a slip of the lip can cost you your head, making it clear that all this flag waving is not about freedom of speech and the bill of rights, but about worshiping the beast.
This story, printed in the Houston Chronicle on September 19 seems to echo the prophesies.
The day before terrorists attacked New York and Washington, a fifth-grader in a Dallas suburb told his teacher World War III would begin the next day, school officials have told the FBI. The boy approached his teacher on the afternoon of Sept. 10 and casually told her: "Tomorrow, World War III will begin. It will begin in the United States, and the United States will lose." "It is one of those things I sincerely want to believe was coincidental," a school official said.
Michael wrote the following paragraph on September 22:
World War III is now opening before us. Truly, this is the war to end all wars. It is the first war ever, where men do not know who their enemy is. "The United States has been called to a new worldwide mission -- to rid the world of evil." How incredible the proposal.
Truly, this final war is timely. For generations it has been prepared for. The judgment of our Father is so wonderfully just. He brings upon man his own self, as a bird is brought to a reflection of himself in the window, and it flies against that window pane attacking his own reflection. You are to me what I see in myself. Nothing could prove the justice of God more fully.
On 9-23 the Washington Post quoted Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage as saying, "You are either 100 percent for us, or 100 percent against us." This ultimatum implies a threat that does not bode well for the people of the world who are unsupportive of the beast's agenda. It rings like papal anathema from the dark ages.
Interesting approach - he might have something here
General
John J Pershing's approach.....
General John 'Black Jack' Pershing - USMA class of'86 (that's 1886) -
the man!
HOW
TO STOP ISLAMIC TERRORISTS...... it worked
once in
our History...
Once in
U.S. history an episode of Islamic terrorism
was very
quickly stopped. It happened in the
Philippines
about 1911, when Gen. John J. Pershing was
in
command of the garrison. There had been numerous
Islamic
terrorist attacks, so 'Black Jack' told his
boys to
catch the perps and teach them a lesson.
Forced
to dig their own graves, the terrorists were
all tied
to posts, execution style. The U.S. soldiers
then
brought in pigs and slaughtered them, rubbing
their
bullets in the blood and fat. Thus, the
terrorists
were terrorized; they saw that they would be
contaminated
with hogs' blood.
This
would mean that they could not enter Heaven, even
if they
died as terrorist martyrs.
All but
one was shot, their bodies dumped into the
grave,and
the hog guts dumped atop the bodies. The
lone
survivor was allowed to escape back to the
terrorist
camp and tell his brethren what happened to
the
others. This brought a stop to terrorism in the
Philippines
for the next 50 years.
Pointing
a gun into the face of Islamic terrorists
won't
make them flinch. They welcome the chance to die
for
Allah. Like Gen. Pershing, we must show them that
they
won't get to Muslim heaven (which they believe
has an
endless supply of virgins) but instead will die
with the
hated pigs of the devil.
A war between the United States and broad swaths of the Islamic world
was precisely what Osama bin Laden and his accomplices in terror hoped
to provoke by attacking the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. But
they cannot accomplish their goal without our assistance.
What they need -- and what President Bush’s speech makes clear we are
getting ready to deliver -- is a large-scale military assault on a
Muslim country. By presenting the Taliban with a list of non-negotiable
demands and effectively threatening them with death, the White House has
virtually guaranteed that the United States will soon be at war with
Afghanistan. And in pursuing that war, we are likely to find ourselves
unwitting allies of the very forces we seek to defeat.
As the nation prepares for war, the real question before the American
people is not the justness of the cause of fighting terrorism, which is
a righteous one. Rather, it is whether the road on which we are
embarking will accomplish our objectives.
So far, the Bush administration’s case for massive military action has
proved unconvincing, for its strategy rests on at least three deeply
flawed assumptions.
=================================================
False Assumption #1:
That, as President Bush stated, “there will be universal approval of the
actions this government takes.”
Though virtually every nation was horrified by the terrorist
attacks, support worldwide for a military response is limited. In a
little-publicized Gallup international poll on terrorism taken last
week, by _large majorities_ citizens of 34 out of 37 countries,
including the United Kingdom, preferred extraditing the terrorists to
stand trial rather than a military attack. Apart from the United
States, the only countries polled that supported military action over
extradition were Israel and India. And even our closest friends are
urging caution, with Javier Solana, the European Union’s top foreign
policy official, stating flatly that “the center of gravity in the fight
against terrorism is not the military.”
FalseAssumption #2:
That the United States can win a clear victory in a military conflict
with Afghanistan.
From the moment that the Bush administration announced that it
would “make no distinction between the terrorists who committed these
acts and those who harbor them,” momentum for an armed conflict with
Afghanistan has been building. Though it is well within our power to
destroy what is left of a country already devastated by its war with the
Soviet Union and the civil war that followed, pacifying the entirety of
this mountainous nation is almost certainly beyond our capacity. No
country -- not the British Empire, not czarist Russia, not the Soviet
Union -- has ever succeeded in establishing control over Afghanistan and
subduing its people. Perhaps the United States will be the first, but a
more likely scenario is that the results of a military conflict will be
inconclusive and that the stunningly inhospitable Afghan landscape will
permit guerrillas to inflict heavy casualties on American forces.
False Assumption #3:
That the United States can carry out what the White House has called a
“sweeping” war against terrorism without producing unintended -- and
massively counterproductive -- consequences.
Under the best of circumstances, a bloody assault on Afghanistan
is likely to result in a large number of civilian casualties that will
vastly enlarge the pool of suicide bombers in the next generation;
under the worst of circumstances, it will destabilize precarious regimes
in the region, bringing Islamic radicals to power.
================================================
Pakistan, in particular, is a prime candidate to become a Taliban-like
regime. The second-most populous Islamic nation in the world, Pakistan
may well have been pressured by the United States into making more
concessions than its fragile government can withstand; anti-U.S.
demonstrations are already widespread, and a recent Gallup pol1 reported
that only _7%_ of Pakistanis will side with America in the event that
the United States launches a military strike against Afghanistan,
compared to 63% who will side with Afghanistan. Should the current
military regime -- which includes a considerable number of Taliban
sympathizers among its senior officers and its intelligence apparatus --
topple, the United States would be faced with the world’s first radical
Islamic regime with nuclear weapons.
==================================================
Does acknowledging the flawed character of the assumptions shaping U.S.
policy mean that no military response is warranted? Not necessarily.
But of the many means available to the United States, military measures
are the ones most likely to enlarge the ranks of our enemies, and among
the least likely to accomplish our goal of dismantling terrorist cells
worldwide. Any military action must be carefully targeted to those who
are truly responsible, must be limited rather than sweeping, and must
avoid killing large numbers of innocent people.
The emotionally unsatisfying truth is that economic, political,
diplomatic, intelligence-gathering and law enforcement measures are
likely to prove more effective than military ones in the new and shadowy
kind of war that we now face. Secretary of State Colin Powell has
recognized this, but others in the Bush administration -- notably Deputy
Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz and his allies -- hope to seize the
opportunity provided by Sept. 11 to launch military attacks on regimes
unfriendly to the United States.
This course of action must be rejected, for the simple reason that there
is no way to conduct such a campaign without the appearance of waging
war on the entire Muslim world.
Given past U.S. policy failures in the region -- and the Taliban regime
is itself in good part a _product_ of our previous actions, -- a sober
recognition that the results of our policies have sometimes been the
very opposite of our intentions must guide our actions.
But sobriety is hard to maintain in the face of monstrous provocation,
and the march toward war seems unstoppable. Nevertheless, as we
consider our response to the attack of Sept. 11, the nightmarish
prospect that the legacy of our actions may be a radicalized Pakistani
regime possessing 30 nuclear weapons, each of them larger than the bomb
dropped on Hiroshima.
This demands that we stop to consider the very real possibility that our
actions may be catastrophically counterproductive
Russian oil is the reason why Afghanistan is going to get carpet
bombed – how interesting when the real truth comes out.
If we all drove electric cars and planes (or some other alternative
fuel),
the Arabs wouldn't be wealthy any longer and there wouldn't be any
reason to fight over the oil fields referred to in this article.
Date: 9/22/01
hoax. As pointed out in the book "Black Gold Hot Gold"
the oil expected to
flow from the vast oilfields under the Russian Caspian Sea,
discovered about
20 years ago remains undrilled and untapped. That field contains
about 500
years worth of oil at present world consumption rates. The only
possible
oil pipeline routes at the present time to handle the massive flow
of oil
from the Caspian Sea region under Chenya is either through Kosovo
to the
Mediterranean Sea, or through Afghanistan and Pakistan to the
Indian
Ocean. Two years ago, the Clinton administration attempted to place
Kosovo
under international control and begin pipeline construction, but
was unable
to complete the process.
The normal oil route
would have been to move oil from Chenya, across
the Black Sea and through the Bosporus to the Mediterranean. But
the narrow
Bosporus channel is already clogged with oil tankers from the
existing
Black Sea oilfields. The only alternate is to move the tankers from
the
Black Sea, bypassing the Bosporus, up the Danube River and then
through a
very short pipeline across Kosovo to the Mediterranean at Tirana,
Albania.
That process was stopped by the Chinese who have supplied and armed
the
Albanians, as a client state, since 1949.
Following the Soviet
discovery of the vast Chechen oilfields in the
late 1970's, they attempted to take control of Afghanistan to
provide a
massive pipeline system to allow the Soviets to market their oil
directly from
the Afghan-Pakistan seaport. This resulted in the decades long
Soviet-Afghan
war. The Soviets were stopped by the U.S. supplied and armed
insurgent
groups, including Osama bin Laden, who defeated the Soviets in the
late
1980's.
The Soviets had massively built up their military in the 1980's,
including the world's largest nuclear submarine fleet, gambling on
the huge
profits to be made by selling their Chechen oil on the open market.
When the
Afghans under bin Laden, backed by the U.S. CIA stopped the
construction
of the Soviet-Afghan pipeline, the Soviet Union went through an
economic
collapse and ceased to exist in 1991. The vast Chechen oilfield
still
remains fallow and untapped. As identified in "Black Gold Hot
Gold," the
Empire of Energy is now making a new attempt to market the Chechen
oil by
carpet bombing Afghanistan and building the Afghan pipeline.
George W. Bush's
statement about declaring war on "terrorism" is
obviously hollow and sallow. It strangely does not include the
terrorists
in Northern Ireland, nor even the terrorist suicide bombers among
the
Palestinians. Instead it makes an instant leap of logic to aim the
U.S.
military directly at Afghanistan.
The terrain in
northern Afghanistan is the arid rugged foothills of the
Himalayas known as the Hindu Kush and is defended by the large
fierce
tribal armies of the Northern Coalition who are excellent guerilla
fighters with years of experience fighting Soviets, now backed by
the
Chinese, and not connected with the main Taliban
government in Kabul. The
Soviets spent over 10 years at great expense to attack and
"carpet bomb"
Afghanistan, but they
found fortress Himalaya is impenetrable. The result was
tremendous loss of Soviet lives
and the economic collapse of the Soviet
Union.
George Bush is now leading the United States down that same road.
The
Empire of Energy has for almost 100 years had as its goal the
dismantling
of the United States of America and amalgamating it into one large
global
energy market. They have found in George Bush a willing partner.
Any war
in Afghanistan would pit the U.S.
against the Chinese who just last week,
on the day of the Word Trade Center attack, signed a mutual pact
with the
Afghans.
In the last 50 years
the U.S, has fought numerous wars against the
Chinese, as in Korea, Vietnam and
elsewhere. In those wars the result
was always a draw with massive loss of life. Even high tech
"smart" weapons
in Kosovo were unable to defeat the Chinese. In the upcoming Afghan
war with
the Chinese, the U.S. will lose by simple attrition. Neither smart bombs
nor nuclear bombs work against hidden terrorists or against
fortress
Himalaya. There are more Chinese soldiers in uniform than the whole
populaton of the U.S.
Numerous recent news stories indicate the attack on the World Trade
Center was known to the CIA and FBI weeks before the attack.
Seemingly
nothing was done. As for America,
and the election of November 2000. Both
G.W. Bush and Al Gore were backed by the Empire of Energy, so it
didn't
matter for whom you voted.
Americans have been anesthetized and put to sleep by their lack of
knowledge of world history, as America disintegrates.

And here an
indication. Some authorities must have known more...
HAARP began
maximum day-time missile shield transmission shortly after
attack on the WTC and the Pentagon.
Brother
Jonathan Gazette was the first to break the WTC Plane attack
at 5:55 am or less than 10 minutes after the first plane hit the
first
tower.
This was 20 minutes before any news item about the WTC was put on
the
internet. The news alert about the second plane crashing into the
second
tower was on the Gazette within less than 30 seconds, again ahead
of all
other news sources.
The major impact of
the events is to shut down all financial operations
in the US and also has caused a major collapse in world trade and
the
world financial system. Simultaneous with the sudden decrease in
the value of
world stock markets was the rapid increase in the cost of gold and
oil in
the world's markets. The primary beneficiary of the WTC and
Pentagon
plane crash events is China.
on highest alert, HAARP suddenly began maximum power day-time
transmissions on
6.965 MHz, at 3:15 PM PDT. The HAARP pulses were the military 6.25 sec
pulses with dual pre-tones. The spaces between pulses were not the usual
long-short 15 and 30 second pauses between pulses indicating slow communication
to submarines. The spaces between pulses are all short, 15
seconds, and are the type of pulses used by the Air Force for
forming
maximum strength vertical anti-missile radiation shields to block
missiles from China.

26 September: DEBKAfile’s military sources report that Osama Bin Laden’s deputy, the Egyptian Jihad chief Ayman al-Zawahri, has ordered Al Qaeda and Jihad activists in Bosnia, Kosovo, Albania and Macedonia – an estimated 6,000 men – to report for duty and prepare to open a second Islamic front against the United States in the Balkans. According to our sources, that nucleus group is capable of mustering another 40,000 trained and well-armed fighting men. Many hold on to the up-to-date weapons handed out to them by NATO, including the US Army, during the 1998 Kosovo War.
In Bosnia, the Bin Laden-Jihad alliance commands a reservoir of 7,500 fighting men; in Kosovo – 15,000; in Albania – another 15,000 and in Macedonia – 5,000.
Earlier this week, rumors went round European and NATO intelligence circles that al-Zawahri was in Tirana to organize the Balkan fighting force. He was said to be drawing for help on the Jihad’s extensive infrastructure in the Albanian capital, the Albanian criminal underworld and the Albanian Liberation Army command posts that control large stretches of Kosovo.
NATO Headquarters in Brussels also received reports of some 3,000 Chechen rebels funded by Bin Laden beginning to cross into Georgia, Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan. They are in flight from President Vladimir Putin’s 72-hour ultimatum to give themselves up and surrender their arms. They suspect that Putin received an American carte blanche to crush the Chechen rebellion in return for his support of the US operation in Afghanistan. The generals in Brussels fear the Chechens will strike at the US bases going up n Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and Tadjikistan.
There is every indication, according to DEBKAfile’s military sources, of preparations by Bin Laden and his network of militant Islamic fundamentalists to launch two fronts - in the Balkans and in Central Asia – to attack US and allied forces as they open their offensive in Afghanistan.
NATO maintains 60,000 servicemen in the Balkans, one third American; US strength in the former Soviet republics of Central Asia now stands at some 15,000.
Washington’s hopes of bringing Arab nations into its anti-terror coalition were further dashed Monday, September 24, when Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and Iraqi president Saddam Hussein, both called Syrian President Bashar Assad with a promise of any political and military support he might need to frustrate an American strike against the militant Shiite Hizballah in Lebanon and the radical Palestinian groups based in Damascus.
Saddam disclosed he had placed his armed forces on supreme battle preparedness in anticipation of the United States following up on its operation in Afghanistan with an assault on Iraq in an attempt to topple his regime.
DEBKAfile’s military sources confirm that the Iraqi army was placed on its highest preparedness at the end of last week. Hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians are reported fleeing Baghdad and Basra and making for remote villages.
Another sign of the rising tension in Iraq is the airlift Beijing has instituted to remove the 1000 Chinese technicians and military men upgrading Iraqi air defense command centers with new optic fibers systems.
These major military movements heavily overshadowed Yasser Arafat’s abruptly aborted trip to Damascus Tuesday and the news that his oft-delayed and unpopular meeting with Israeli foreign Minister Shimon Peres in Gaza would finally come off Wednesday morning.
If that meeting does indeed come about, the two are expected to sign a memorandum affirming a cessation of hostilities, the application of the ceasefire negotiated by CIA director George Tenet four months ago and of the first stages of the recommendations made by former Senator George Mitchell and his team.
According to DEBKAfile’s sources in Washington, Arafat had already set out for his long-awaited meeting with the Syrian president in Damascus, when he turned round and retraced his steps to Gaza. He changed course after US secretary of state Colin Powell had harangued him by telephone from before he embarked from Dahaniyeh airport in Gaza all the way to Amman. Powell finally slapped down an ultimatum: Go to Damascus and meet Assad, and he would not only burn all his bridges to Washington once and for all, but he would be deemed to have lined up with Saddam Hussein once again as he did in the 1991 Gulf War – only this time there would be no forgiveness from Washington and he could expect full punishment.
Arafat, when his plane touched down in Amman, ordered his pilot to turn back.
AN OTHER-DIMENSIONAL VIEW OF THE AMERICAN CATASTROPHE FROM A SOURCE THEY
CANNOT SILENCE
HOW BUSH AND BLAIR "KNEW";
THE CHINA SCENARIO;
AND THE MANIPULATION TO COME BY
MIND-CONTROLLED "CELEBRITIES"
By David Icke
As I mentioned in a recent posting, I have been introduced to a channelled
source of information that has proved to be incredibly accurate. In fact, it
is clear to me now that this consciousness has been guiding me to uncover the
global conspiracy and preparing me to do so all my life.
I had arranged to converse with this source through an extremely gifted
"channel" two weeks before the U.S. atrocities and the appointment turned out
to be the day after the tragedy. What I was told supported my own
"this-world" research that the plan is to trigger a conflict with China that
would lead to the formation of world government, central bank, currency and
army and turn the planet into an orbiting prison camp. Another highly likely
scenario I have been told about many times by United States "insiders",
incidentally, is an attack on the Muslim shrine at Temple Mount in Jerusalem
to further escalate conflict with the Islamic world, and my own view is that
we could possibly even see the assassination of President Bush and someone
very close to Tony Blair to increase still more dramatically the measures
imposed to "fight terrorism". Horrific as the events of September 11th were,
they are just the start, not the end of this stage of the
Illuminati-reptilian agenda.
I asked this other dimensional source to tell me who was really responsible
for what happened in New York and Washington and this was the reply. This
conversation took place on September 12th 2001. See what you think:
I believe that in your time you call these tragic and unfortunate
circumstances that prevail a "smoke screen". That is to say the forces of one
faction rise against the forces against another. You are being …society is
being deceived.
There will be those that will proclaim themselves responsible… [or are blamed
by others]…they possibly will use such emotive terms as Jihad [Holy War]. And
there are those that will claim themselves to be victims and of course
recriminations, eventual attacks, will take place against those that report
to claim responsibility for this.
It is a hideous distraction. It is a distraction from what's really taking
place. I would like to make a prediction of how we foresee what will unfold.
Now when I say to make a prediction that does not mean that the circumstances
cannot be changed. I sincerely hope that enough positive thought will be
projected into the situation that the situation will indeed be altered from
that we foresee…Islamic forces will be attributed or claim responsibility for
this. You will have noticed in your media the days before this attack that
great play was made of how stocks, shares and finance was in a state of
decline…I think it is called recession, yes? Now, how very, very coincidental
that this was made public the day before some great catastrophe that would
enforce financial decline of nations of your world.
You see, a public declaration, a predicted recession, was a coded message. It
was a coded message that the dark day had arrived. Therefore, a public
declaration through television, the media. Impending recession was the coded
message.
About your world there are those that are enforced or are enslaved to the
dark forces. It was their instruction. It was their instruction to gather
into their groups and put into place their piece of a very, very dark jigsaw.
Some rituals were undertaken which were themselves an illusion of the true
insidiousness behind them. Certain enactments were taking place. The truth of
course is that those [political leaders] who are claiming themselves and
their nation to be victims are in fact one of the perpetrators of what has
been done on their own soil. This goes back a very, very long time. You may
well remember in your own understanding of modern history, the forces of the
United States gave great financial assistance to the country of Afghanistan
when they were invaded by the Soviet Union as it was at the time. But of
course that was just a piece being put into place.
This present crisis will erupt and fester and boil for a while and those that
proclaim themselves to be followers of Mohammed will rise and proclaim what
they call the holy Jihad. The forces of the United States of America and
their supposed allies will rise proclaiming themselves to be preserving the
freedom of the world and the liberty of the world.
While all this distraction is going on the army will be mustering their
forces and then as it all dies down, the United States of America will enter
into the true engagement of destruction with the Red Army. Behind all this
are certain ladies and gentlemen…I am almost reluctant to describe them as
such…they are manipulating the very governments, commerce, industry and they,
in turn, are having their lives influenced by that which is dimensionally
removed from your world, as I believe I have expressed to you before. Neither
of your dimension or our dimension, but in a false space between. [ What I
call the reptilians - see previous posting and Children of the Matrix].
MANIPULATION OF FINANCE AND GOLD
Watch very carefully my friend in the course of the coming months the
activities of the Bundesbank. Watch very carefully the activities of Fort
Knox in the United States of America. You will see the great reserves of
finance go and be removed from this establishment. Actually where they are
being deposited will be almost impossible to trace. Continents, countries
will be removing from their depositories gold stocks, transporting them to
the Bundesbank, Fort Knox and other gold depositories elsewhere. But then
they shall be moved again. Nobody will be able to exactly ascertain where
they are being removed to.
THE BLOODLINE FAMILIES
You will notice that certain families have gone very quiet in the public eye,
the Vanderbilts, the Rockefellers, the Gettys. Suddenly you will find that
they will proclaim themselves wanting to undertake great acts of world
charity. Certain people within what you perceive to be the entertainment
industry will suddenly become very engaged in what appear to be humane,
charitable acts. Yes…not that I am so very fond of doing so but it is worth
remembering certain biblical texts …"Beware the false prophets".
MIND-CONTROLLED "CELEBRITIES"
The appearance of certain people will be drastically altered. They will
undertake surgical procedures to alter their appearance. And you may be aware
there are certain people within your entertainment industry that undertake
this manipulation of flesh, you call it cosmetic surgery don't you? Well that
in itself is another insidious deception. It is just being done for vanity
reasons. Appearance has to be altered because there is a much more insidious
procedure being done at the same time. Certain of those you call celebrities
are being genetically manipulated, this is being covered by claims that they
undertake cosmetic surgery. Cosmetic surgery is necessary to conceal exactly
what is being done to them on a biological and genetic level.
And they shall start to proclaim themselves as wanting to undertake great
actions of world healing, of world charity, manipulating the people to
believe that a false peace is coming. …They will proclaim to the public and
use their popularity to influence people to favour certain political and
social changes.[Michael Jackson was one named mentioned in relation to this].
Celebrity status has always been used and used very often to try to persuade
greater numbers of people to be favourable towards a political system. Some
in the past of course have done this with the greatest of motives. But it is
still manipulation.
David Icke: What is happening to them genetically, screened by the cosmetic
surgery and why?
Alterations within the matter of brain. The brain will not allow the truer
functions of the spirit and mind to interact with caporal flesh.
David Icke: Creating Zombies, in other words?
Oh yes. Oh yes. And if they strive to overcome this, they strive to resist
this, things will be done in their lives that will bring them great
discomfort. [ I was given details of a particular celebrity who has suffered
in this way and is being prepared for use in the above Illuminati propaganda,
but I was asked to keep these details to myself for now.]
Within the industry of entertainment, particularly that based in the United
States, you will see that those who have agreed to comply, how their
popularity seems to increase. They are being used as instruments to influence
peoples of the world. You see politicians are becoming unbelievable. [People]
are becoming aware that those who wear the mantle of politicians, for the
greater part cannot be trusted. But because of the influence of technology,
brainwashing technology, peoples have been persuaded to love and adore
celebrities. Therefore, the great army of those that are without control
of…[their minds]… come from those whom people have been persuaded to adore.
BUSH AND BLAIR "KNEW"
David Icke: Can you confirm that President George W. Bush and our Prime
Minister Tony Blair in Britain knew that the atrocities in America were going
to happen?
Of course they knew. Of course they knew. If one has been instrumental in the
planning of something that can be attributed to the responsibility of someone
else, of course they know. If you are a planner then you must know of the
plan, mustn't you? The antagonism between Mr. Bush, Mr. Blair, and Mr.
Hussein and Mr. Fayed [father of Dodi, who died with Princess Diana], this is
all a façade. These people are in constant contact with one another. Possibly
not through the means of what you would call conventional technology. Each is
intrinsically aware of what the other is thinking. Therefore if not in the
conscious state, certainly in the sleep state. They are communing with one
another putting into place plans.
Question: This is because inside what we call the physical form of Bush,
Blair, Hussein and Fayed, is the same force from what we call this "in -
between" dimension?
Yes, there is the corrupted genetic material [see previous posting:
REPTILIANS: WHY THEY ARE OBSESSED WITH BLOODLINE AND RITUAL].
It is vital for people to understand that world leaders and controllers in
politics, finance and media are possessed beings, possessed in thought and
emotion by entities from this frequency range of existence between this
physical dimension and the non-physical. This "in-between" world. This is the
connecting force that ensures that the game, the illusion, the daily movie,
can be projected at people through the media while a very different and
highly co-ordinated agenda can unfold behind it.
While the illusion tells us that Bush and Hussein, Russia, China, America,
and the Islamic world etc, etc., are on different "sides", in fact those who
control those countries and beliefs are merely physical shells for the SAME
force. This is why the same interconnecting bloodlines (DNA connection to
these entities) are in the positions of power all over the world controlling
and manipulating the "masses" in every country (see The Biggest Secret and
Children of the Matrix). They seek to manipulate the masses to fight among
themselves while they pull the strings of all "sides" to a common end and
agenda.
I know this sounds fantastic and people should walk away if it is too much
for them. But without this understanding of what we are facing and what and
who is behind it and how, we have got no chance of bringing down this edifice
of control and manipulation.
If you think it is appropriate, please circulate this article as widely as
possible.
Thanks,

US coalition: Who is for? Who is against? (Iraq might not be that far off the truth)
Reuters
London, September 18
President George W. Bush is trying to rally a global coalition for military
retaliation for attacks against the United States.
US officials have pointed to an Arab connection to the attacks, adding that a
coalition should include Muslim states. Retaliation is likely to focus on
Afghanistan, which hosts the prime suspect, Saudi-born militant Osama bin
Laden.
This is a summary of key responses so far:
STRONG OR SPECIFIC OFFERS OF SUPPORT
INDIA - Offered to allow US military forces to use its facilities if needed.
Has a big Muslim minority. Diplomats say Washington is unlikely to need
Indian bases.
AUSTRALIA - Said 295 troops stationed in United States had been given
permission to deploy with US forces if needed.
BELGIUM - Foreign Minister Louis Michel said he would send troops to help in
US military retaliation.
BRITAIN - Closest US ally. Prime Minister Tony Blair pledged to stand
"shoulder to shoulder" with Bush and has worked to bring less enthusiastic
European states on board.
CANADA - Foreign Minister John Manley said Canada would "unambiguously" join
US military action.
ISRAEL - US sources say Israel giving vital intelligence support on Islamist
militants. U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell said the U.S. sees no role
for Israel in any military response. Prime Minister Ariel Sharon refused to
make concessions to the Palestinians to help U.S. recruit Arab and Muslim
nations for its anti-terror alliance.
ITALY - Said it would join a military response and was ready to deploy troops
and aircraft if asked.
KUWAIT - Freed from Iraqi occupation by a U.S.-led coalition in 1991, offered
all possible help.
SPAIN - Offered its air bases for any retaliatory strikes; promised to act
"without any reservations".
QUALIFIED OR LIMITED SUPPORT
BANGLADESH - One of the most populous Muslim states, pledged support. On
Tuesday, U.S. embassy sources said they were awaiting a response from
caretaker government to a request for possible use of airspace and port
facilities. Bangladeshi officials said issue was too important to decide
quickly.
FRANCE - President Jacques Chirac said France would be "totally supportive",
but Prime Minister Lionel Jospin said it was up to Paris to decide how to
help retaliate and Defence Minister Alain Richard warned against provoking
instability.
GERMANY - Defence Minister Rudolf Scharping suggested in vague terms on
Monday that Germany could participate in a military response. Foreign
Minister Joschka Fischer earlier expressed caution and recalled that
parliament has last word.
INDONESIA - Megawati Sukarnoputri, president of world's biggest Muslim
nation, offered unspecfied help. Other top officials have warned U.S. not to
make Islam a scapegoat.
JAPAN - Struggling to reconcile its post-World War Two constitutional
neutrality with loyalty to its key American ally. Criticised in 1991 for
supporting U.S.-led war to oust Iraq from Kuwait without committing even a
token force to the Gulf.
JORDAN - Said it would be at the forefront of countries ready to join a
coalition. Largest opposition party issued edict on Sunday banning any Muslim
participation in such a coalition.
NATO - Invoked mutual defence clause for first time in its history, opening
the way for a possible collective response. But individual members have
expressed reservations.
PAKISTAN - Afghanistan's western neighbour, previously backed Taliban
government. Offered full cooperation with U.S. and sent delegates to
Afghanistan to try to persuade Taliban to hand over bin Laden but yet to
decide on specific help. A Muslim nation. Fears Taliban attack or civil
unrest if it helps U.S.
PALESTINIAN TERRITORIES - President Yasser Arafat offered to place all his
capabilities at the service of the U.S. and urged Arab states to join a
coalition. On the defensive after some Palestinians were shown on television
welcoming the attacks.
RUSSIA - President Vladimir Putin has pledged support but urged thorough
investigation first. Defence officials have said Moscow will help with
intelligence, but military participation is unlikely. Security Council
secretary Vladimir Rushailo said on Tuesday it was too early to determine
whether ex-Soviet states could allow the use of bases and air space.
SAUDI ARABIA - King Fahd offered support and cooperation to its key ally but
stopped short of spelling out practical help on offer. Gulf source said
country ready to share intelligence.
SYRIA - Has expressed strong support but earlier this year failed to follow
through on commitment to United States.
TAJIKISTAN - Borders Afghanistan. Has offered unspecified help but says it
has not yet received a formal request.
TURKEY - Has said it is willing to support Washington. Not clear what role it
would be asked to play beyond intelligence gathering. Turkish air bases could
be used.
UNITED ARAB EMIRATES - Has said it was reviewing its ties with the Taliban
and would help in "any possible way". Also called for immediate NATO move to
fight terrorism and stressed that success of such a move would hinge on a
just solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
OTHER GULF ARAB STATES are likely to link support for any US military action
to extent of U.S. pressure on Israel.
UZBEKISTAN - Borders Afghanistan. Said it is ready to discuss cooperation but
that it was too early to comment on possible use of its bases.
NEUTRALITY
IRAN - Iran condemned the attacks but said punishing its neighbour
Afghanistan might cause a human catastrophe. Canadian newspaper said senior
Iranian officials had asked Canada to tell Washington Iran would not condemn
targeted retaliation against those responsible.
SWEDEN - Foreign Minister Anna Lindh has said country does not want to join
NATO but is reviewing its neutrality.
UNITED NATIONS - Security Council has expressed "readiness to take all
necessary steps to respond to the terrorist attacks" but this falls far short
of formally authorising any military response which would require another
resolution.
OPPOSITION
CHINA - Has said it is ready to join the U.S. superpower in fighting
"terrorism" but warned that military intervention would only "aggravate
terrorism and violence".
EGYPT - Key U.S. ally in Middle East. President Hosni Mubarak said on Monday
it was too early to talk of an alliance against "terrorism" and the United
States should think twice before taking military action that would kill
civilians.
IRAQ - A possible target along with Afghanistan. Accused the United States of
terrorism itself and said the attacks were carried out by American
dissidents.
Monday Sept. 24, 2001; 9:56 a.m. EDT
Bush Warned Privately of Coming Nuke Terror Attack
Hours before his rousing Thursday night address to a joint session of Congress, President Bush warned a congressional prayer meeting that there was credible evidence a second wave of terrorist attacks would strike the U.S., this time featuring chemical, biological or even nuclear weapons.
"It was quite a remarkable scene," Newsweek's Howard Fineman told radioman Don Imus Monday morning.
"The president confessed to (the prayer meeting) his anxieties. He said, 'You know, I have to walk a fine line here. You know my problem.'"
Bush then explained:
"I don't want to alarm people. But there is evidence, there's enough evidence that we face further attacks."
The president's warning included the phrase, "chemical, biological and plutonium -- meaning the possibility of even nuclear terrorism," the Newsweek reporter said.

A step backwards in air safety
The following sobering piece appeared in the 'Inside the Beltway' op-ed section
of the September 20, 2001 edition of The Washington Times, titled 'You're On
Your Own'. Writer John McCaslin states:
'Over the airplane's public-address system came a most incredible announcement
from the captain of United Flight 564 as it was about to pull out of the gate
at Denver International Airport last Saturday, writes Peter Hannaford, a public-
affairs consultant in Washington and former adviser to President Reagan.
''I want to thank you brave folks for coming out today,' the pilot began. 'We
don't have any new instructions from the federal government, so from now on,
we're on our own.'
'The passengers listened in total silence.
'Sometimes a potential hijacker will announce that he has a bomb. There are no
bombs on this aircraft and if someone were to get up and make that claim, don't
believe him. If someone were to stand up, brandish something such as a plastic
knife and say, 'This is a hijacking' or words to that effect, here is what you
should do: Every one of you should stand up and immediately throw things at
that person -- pillows, books, magazines, eyeglasses, shoes -- anything that
will throw him off balance and distract his attention. If he has a confederate
or two, do the same with them. Most important: get a blanket over him, then
wrestle him to the floor and keep him there. We'll land the plane at the
nearest airport and the authorities will take it from there.
'Remember, there will be one of him and maybe a few confederates, but there are
200 of you. Now, since we're a family for the next few hours, I'll ask you to
turn to the person next to you, introduce yourself, tell them a little about
yourself and ask them to do the same.' The end of this remarkable speech, Mr.
Hannaford says, brought sustained clapping from the passengers.''
Gordon continues: My advice: If you plan to fly again soon, wear steel-toed
shoes. Better get the pointed-toe Italian type. And don't forget to practice
throwing them at home first. My suggestion for a target: a photo of the FAA
Commissioner, or perhaps the Mad Hatter.
The following story is straight out of Alice in Wonderland.

FAA Plans To Disarm Flight Crews
-- by Jeff Johnson, Congressional Bureau Chief for CNSNews.com
September 20, 2001
A new Federal Aviation Regulation would take away the right of pilots, co-
pilots, and navigators to carry firearms and other weapons for self-defense.
Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Paul Takemoto acknowledged Thursday
that flight crews have been authorized to carry firearms for the past 20 years.
'That will change on November 14,' he said. 'The new rule will not include
authorization (to carry firearms) and crew members will no longer be allowed to
carry arms.'
Federal Aviation Regulation 108.11 currently allows armed individuals on
aircraft, 'if the person having the weapon is authorized to have the weapon by
the (airline) and the Administrator (of the FAA) and has successfully completed
a course of training in the use of firearms acceptable to the Administrator.'
That federal aviation regulation also establishes the conditions under which
law enforcement officers and other government officials may be armed on board
aircraft. Takemoto indicated there would be no changes to those regulations.
Takemoto was not aware of whether or not the FAA had ever approved a firearms
training course for flight crews, or whether such a request had ever been made.
He indicated that the agency was too busy to research the issue in light of the
on-going investigation into the hijacking of four passenger jets by terrorists
armed with plastic knives and box cutters on
September 11.
In response to those attacks, the Front Sight Firearms Training Institute in
Las Vegas, Nevada, offered weapons training specifically designed for cockpit
crews free to any pilot, co-pilot, or navigator, if their employer requests the
training. Dr. Ignatius Piazza, founder of Front Sight, was outraged by the
FAA's decision.
'The FAA, in changing the regulation, and preventing the airlines from arming
and training their pilots effectively places the blood on their hands for every
(future) terrorist act involving the take-over of a cockpit of an airplane,' he
said.
Larry Pratt, executive director of Gun Owners of America, agreed.
'This is simply going to insure, and reassure the terrorists, that they will be
the only ones armed. They will break the law, because they're criminals, and
they'll be able to repeat exactly what was done,' Pratt said.
'These people haven't learned a thing,' he continued, 'and they need to be
fired, because anybody who thinks self defense is a bad idea doesn't belong in
public service.'
The FAA's new regulation is also directly at odds with legislation introduced
by Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) last Friday.
House Resolution (HR) 2896 would provide that, 'no department or agency of the
Federal Government shall prohibit any pilot, copilot, or navigator of an
aircraft, or any law enforcement personnel specifically detailed for the
protection of that aircraft, from carrying a firearm.'
Takemoto said the FAA does not comment on pending legislation.
Paul believes pilots should be able to defend themselves and their passengers.
'My approach to this is to allow an airline to take care of their property just
like we allow our chemical plants and our refineries to protect their
property,' he said.
Paul compared the fences and armed guards around such plants to airliners with
fortified cockpit doors and an armed crew flight crew.
Paul expressed astonishment that the terrorists were able to commandeer four
airliners without firearms.
'They did all that without a gun,' he said. 'If the pilots had had guns, they
could have prevented this.'
In a letter to the editor of the Wall Street Journal (Friday, Sept. 21), an
American Airlines captain agreed that 'hardened cockpit doors and armed pilots
could have prevented all four of those hijackings.'
Captain Brad Rohdenburg suggested making some of the pilots sky marshals. 'How
much more cost-effective could a security program be?' he asked.
'At the very least, let us carry pocket knives again. As Benjamin Franklin
said, 'If you make yourselves sheep, the wolves will eat you.''
Quotations by World Leaders and Others
On April 19, 1775, American patriots drove off the British at Lexington. This was the "Shot heard 'round the world."
One year and eleven days later, on May 1, 1776, Adam Wisehaupt, professor at Germany's Ingolstadt University, founded The Order of the Illuminati. This man designed the very plan of world domination that is still in use today to enslave the world's masses. Here is what he had to say about it:
"The most wonderful thing of all is that the distinguished Lutheran and Calvinist theologians who belong to our order really believe that they see in it the true and genuine sense of Christian religion. Oh mortal man, is there anything you cannot be made to believe?"Oh! You don't believe in a "conspiracy theory" spanning over two hundred years? Try these quotations:"The world is governed by very different personages from what is imagined by those who are not behind the scenes."Ike was President at the time.
--Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli of England, in 1844.
"From the days of Sparticus Wisehaupt, Karl Marx, Trotski, Belacoon, Rosa Luxenberg, and Ema Goldman, this world conspiracy has been steadily growing. This conspiracy played a definite recognizable role in the tragedy of the French Revolution. It has been the mainspring of every subversive movement during the 19th century. And now at last this band of extraordinary personalities from the underworld of the great cities of Europe and America have gripped the Russian people by the hair of their head and have become the undisputed masters of that enormous empire."
--Prime Minister Winston Churchill of England, in 1922.
The real rulers in Washington are invisible and exercise their power from behind the scenes."
-- Justice Felix Frankfurter, U.S. Supreme Court.
"The real menace of our Republic is the invisible government which like a giant octopus sprawls its slimy legs over our cities, states and nation."
-- Mayor (1918-1925) John F. Hylan of New York.
"The real truth of the matter is, as you and I know, that a financial element in the large centers has owned the government of the U.S. since the days of Andrew Jackson."
-- U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt in a letter written Nov. 21, 1933 to Colonel E. Mandell House.
"We operate here under directives which emulate (sic) from the White House ... The substance of the directives under which we operate is that we shall use our grant making power to alter life in the United States so that we can comfortably be merged with the Soviet Union."
-- Rowan Gaither, President of the Ford Foundation, 1954.
"The Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) is the American Branch of a society which originated in England ... (and) ... believes national boundaries should be obliterated and one-world rule established."According to his book, Quigley was totally dedicated to the One World Government program. (President Clinton attended Georgetown U. and has stated that his mentor, Prof.Quigley, taught him so many wonderful things.)
-- Professor of History Carroll Quigley, Georgetown University, in his book "Tragedy and Hope".
"The Trilateral Commission is international ... (and) ... is intended to be the vehicle for multinational consolidation of the commercial and banking interests by seizing control of the political government of the United States. The Trilateral Commission represents a skillful, coordinated effort to seize control and consolidate the four centers of of power: Political, Monetary, Intellectual, and Ecclesiastical."It is my understanding Senator Goldwater resigned from the Trilateral Commission upon learning of its mission.
-- U.S. Senator Barry Goldwater (R-AZ) in his book "With No Apologies"
"Fundamental Bible-believing people do not have the right to indoctrinate their children in their religious beliefs because we, the state, are preparing them for the year 2000, when America will be part of a one-world global society and their children will not fit in."Bill Clinton and V.P. Dan Quayle were there sucking up to the big man HIMself.
--Nebraska State Senator Peter Hoagland, speaking on radio in 1983.
"We are grateful to The Washington Post, The New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subject to the bright lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is now more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national autodetermination practiced in past centuries."
-- David Rockefeller, Internationalist, billionaire, Chairman of the CFR, and Founder of the Trilateral Commission, addressing another New World Order group, the "Bilderbergers".
"We shall have World Government, whether or not we like it. The only question is whether World Government will be achieved by conquest or consent."
--James Paul Warburg, Foreign Agent of the Rothschild Dynasty and major player in the Federal Reserve Act fraud, speaking before the United States Senate on February 17, 1950.
"All of us will ultimately be judged on the effort we have contributed to building a NEW WORLD ORDER."
--Robert Kennedy, former U.S. Attorney-General, 1967.
"I believe that if the people of this nation fully understood what Congress has done to them over the last 49 years, they would move on Washington; they would not wait for an election....It adds up to a preconceived plan to destroy the economic and social independence of the United States!"
--George W. Malone, U.S. Senator (Nevada), speaking before Congress in 1957.
"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. Already they have raised up a monied aristocracy that has set the government at defiance. The issuing power (of money) should be taken away from the banks and restored to the people to whom it properly belongs."
--Thomas Jefferson, U.S. President.
"Whoever controls the volume of money in any country is absolute master of all industry and commerce."
--James A. Garfield, U.S. President.
"It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning."
--Henry Ford, founder of the Ford Motor Company.
"We have in this country one of the most corrupt institutions the world has ever known. I refer to the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Banks, hereinafter called the FED. They are not government institutions. They are private monopolies which pray upon the people of these United States for the benefit of themselves and their foreign customers..."
-- Lewis McFadden, U.S. Congressman.
"The invisible Money Power is working to control and enslave mankind. It financed Communism, Fascism, Marxism, Zionism, Socialism. All of these are directed to making the United States a member of a World Government ..."
-- AMERICAN MERCURY MAGAZINE, December 1957, pg. 92.
"Give me control of a nation's money and I care not who makes the laws."
-- Mayer Amschel Bauer, Godfather of the Rothschild Banking Cartel of Europe.
"The few who understand the system, will either be so interested in its profits, or so dependent on its favors that there will be no opposition from that class. The great body of people, mentally incapable of comprehending the tremendous advantages will bear its burden without complaint."
--Rothschild Brothers of London, in a letter discussing their new banking scheme with fellow conspirators on June 25, 1863 (long before the takeover of the U.S. banking system.)
"By this means government may secretly and unobserved, confiscate the wealth of the people, and not one man in a million will detect the theft."
--John Maynard Keynes (the father of 'Keynesian Economics' which our nation now endures) in his book "THE ECONOMIC CONSEQUENCES OF THE PEACE" (1920).
"Capital must protect itself in every way...Debts must be collected and loans and mortgages foreclosed as soon as possible. When through a process of law the common people have lost their homes, they will be more tractable and more easily governed by the strong arm of the law applied by the central power of leading financiers. People without homes will not quarrel with their leaders. This is well known among our principal men now engaged in forming an imperialism of capitalism to govern the world. By dividing the people we can get them to expend their energies in fighting over questions of no importance to us except as teachers of the common herd."
-- Taken from the Civil Servants' Year Book, "The Organizer" January 1934
Nations water works put on high alert
By ELI J. LAKE
WASHINGTON, Sept. 24 (UPI) -- U.S. drinking water suppliers have been advised, at the direction of the FBI, to be on alert and exercise caution to guard against possible attempts at sabotage in the wake of the recent terror attacks, United Press International learned Monday.
"We have advised all utilities to be on alert and cautious," Tom Curtis, the deputy executive director of the American Water Works Association, or AWWA, told UPI in an interview. "We are not responding to a specific threat advisory from the FBI concerning water utilities, but we have advised water utilities to be on a heightened state of alert."
The federal government has taken a number of precautions since the Sept. 11 attacks against the possible threat of another strike on American targets. The FBI has grounded the nation's crop duster planes, for example. Ronald Reagan National Airport outside of Washington has been closed since the suicide hijackings which killed over 6,000 people at the Pentagon and World Trade Center as well.
Curtis however did say that the FBI had asked the water suppliers to take extra precautions. One drinking water industry source who has seen the advisory said the warning "advises utilities to be aware of security and make contact with local law enforcement and FBI authorities."
Since the attacks, the AWWA has actually issued two separate warnings to U.S. water utilities. The first was on the day of the attacks, according to Curtis. But the association sent out a reminder on Sept. 21, at the request of the FBI, to remind utilities to remain vigilant against terrorism for 30 days following the first advisory.
"There are generally three things a water utility would be thinking about," Curtis said. He said the first was controlling access to a reservoir; the second would be the actual water supply; and finally the treatment plant and associated storage tanks.
An article in the June 2001 issue of American Water Journal says that physical destruction of a water supply is more likely than contamination in the event of a terror attack. "Because guns and explosives are easier to obtain than large amounts of contaminants or toxic chemicals, many observers believe the most likely scenario for a terrorist attack on a water system would involve physical destruction of the system's components," it says. But it warns that both scenarios should be "guarded against."
In the near future, according to industry sources, the Sandia National Labs will release a report funded by the water utilities outlining specific security vulnerabilities in every drinking water system throughout the country.
ANOTHER ISRAELI KILLED
A 28 year old woman who is a member of Kibbutz Sde Elliyahu was killed this
morning by a Palestinian sniper in the northern Jordan Valley while riding
with her husband in their car. Her husband sustained minor wounds. Sheetrit
will be buried at her kibbutz at 15:00, Army Radio reports.
A senior aide to Prime Minister Ariel Sharon said Monday that the drive-by
killing had again reset the clock for truce talks between Palestinian
Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat and Foreign Minister Shimon Peres - a
meeting for which U.S. officials are fervently pressing amid vocal objections
and threats by Israeli hawks. The killing shattered one of the quietest
24-hour periods since the Palestinian uprising broke out nearly a year ago.
A serious cabinet crisis was eased overnight when Prime Minister Ariel Sharon
agreed to reverse a veto on the meeting, and gave a green light to
Peres-Arafat talks to have taken place Monday night. But Sharon aides were
quoted as saying Monday that the attack stood in contradiction to Sharon's
stated insistence on a 48-hour stretch of absolute quiet prior to any
face-to-face Peres-Arafat discussion.
Sharon spokesman Ra'anan Gissin told the Associated Press that the prime
minister held Arafat repsonsible for the killing, and that the incident had
again reset the 48-hour clock. Unnamed Sharon aides told Army Radio that
"Under these circumstances it is difficult to believe that there will be a
meeting today, and it may be postponed until after Yom Kippur". The Yom
Kippur holiday ends Thursday night.
Meanwhile, a semi-annual State Department report evaluating Palestinian
compliance with past Israeli-Palestinian accords says senior PLO and
Palestinian Authority leaders did little to prevent, and may have even
encouraged, an atmosphere of incitement to violence in violation of past
agreements. "The PLO did not abide in a clear and sustained manner by its
commitment to 'call on Palestinians to refrain from violence,' " the report
says.
The report, issued in accordance with the PLO Commitments Compliance Act of
1989 and covering the period of December 15, 2000, through June 15, 2001, was
quietly sent to the White House and congressional leaders on September 12,
the day after the terrorist attacks on the US.
PALESTINIANS 'CELEBRATE' ANNIVERSARY OF INTIFADA WITH GRISLY DISPLAY
Commemorating the year-old uprising against Israel, Palestinian university
students opened an exhibition Sunday that included a grisly re-enactment of a
suicide bombing in Jerusalem. Wearing a military uniform and a black mask, a
Palestinian entered a doorway and set off a fake explosion in a replica of
the Sbarro pizzeria in Jerusalem, where a suicide bomber killed himself and
15 other people last month. It was one of the deadliest attacks in a year of
Mideast violence and drew widespread international condemnation.
The exhibit at Al-Najah University in Nablus was put on by students who
support the militant Islamic movement Hamas, which carried out the Jerusalem
attack. Support for Hamas traditionally runs high at the university. The
school is a hotbed for Palestinian militants and has produced a number of
suicide bombers. Thousands of people, most of them university students,
visited the exhibit, which is to run for a week in the university cafeteria.
In another part of the exhibit, visitors looked through dark windows to see
mannequins dressed as suicide bombers. Each had Islam's holy book, the Quran,
in one hand, and an automatic rifle in the other - real suicide bombers often
assume this pose in videos they make before staging attacks.
Twenty-one Palestinians have blown themselves up in suicide attacks in the
past year, killing more than 50 people and wounding hundreds. Hamas, along
with Islamic Jihad, have carried out the bombings. Among Palestinians, only a
minority supported suicide attacks before the current uprising began last
September. However, recent polls have shown that a majority support such
attacks.
BIN LADEN PREPARES FOR WAR; US AND ISRAEL BOTH WATCHING - DEBKAfile report
As US sea-air armadas, destroyers, air fleets and Special Service units speed
east to make war on terrorism, the opposition makes its own preparations
quietly and in the dark. The ex-Saudi terror master Osama Bin Laden is
generally presented as being on the run, dodging with a small band from one
hideout to another in the UruzgaMountains north of Kahandar and south of
Hindu Kush, to escape the mighty force out to get him. Some reports place him
in hiding in Somalia. The truth is that no one – including western
intelligence agencies – knows where he is. What DEBKAfile ’s intelligence
and military sources can say is that Bin Laden and his senior commanders, far
from giving up the flight, are in fact busy preparing their next offensive
against the US, Britain, Saudi Arabia, the Gulf Emirates, Egypt and Israel –
all affirmed targets of the jihad he has declared against America and
everything its stands for.
Bin Laden and his ilk do not practice Western military doctrines. The
concepts of military hierarchy, with its generals and colonels, general
staffs and operational, air intelligence and naval intelligence branches, are
all alien to Bin Laden and his band. This is quite deliberate. Bin Laden
keeps his men untouched by Western military thinking and formats for two
reasons: 1. To prevent his men’s exposure to Western culture, while creating
a milieu in which any Western penetration agent will soon be spotted. 2. A
preference for traditional Islamic fighting methods, mostly taken from the
early days of conquering Islam - the 7th century, when the Caliph Omar
prevailed over the Byzantine Empire, and the 11th century, when Saladin
defeated the European Crusaders. Saladin, who was not an Arab but a Seljuk
from Asia Minor, built his army around a very small command of adherents and
a large international pool of reservists, who were called up for major
battles by a dozen or so runners, who traveled to the different countries and
activated local couriers in relays for posting call-up summons in the towns
and villages.
DEBKAfile’s military and intelligence sources report that Bin Laden’s
courier squad of half a dozen runners went into action on September 9, two
days before the four hijacked airliners rammed the WorldTradeCenter in New
York and the Pentagon in Washington. They spread out in two destinations. One
group headed for the Islamic madrassas, Islamic schools and colleges of
Afghanistan, where 40,000 of the more than one million students, Afghans and
foreigners, have embraced the jihad mission under Bin Laden’s leadership. A
second group went round the 10,000 madrassas of Pakistan, where Bin Laden can
count on a further 70,000 jihad devotees. The conscripts were issued with
their personal weapons early last week from central armories serving each
cluster of madrassas.
These schools are not colleges in the Western sense, but training and
indoctrination academies breeding militant zealots for battle and
self-sacrifice. These future recruits to Bin Laden’s Moslem internationale
are subjected to rigorous training disciplines in guerrilla and urban combat,
sabotage, the making and use of bombs, simple weaponry for use against
planes, helicopters and tanks and endurance in harsh conditions deprived of
water and food for long periods. This is not a ragged rabble, but a
well-drilled, dedicated Islamic legion of at least 110,000 zealots, raring to
take on Western armies and unafraid of elite US Delta, Rangers and Seals or
British S.A.S. commandos descending on their strongholds.
Indeed some of the instructors teaching the students the arts of war may have
received their own training at the hands of American Moslem commando
instructors, attached at different periods to US 101st or 82nd Airborne
Divisions. How these Moslem Americans reached the most violent Islamic
training grounds in the world will be described elsewhere. Suffice it to say
that the Islamic army congregating in Afghanistan under the Bin Laden banner
is a fighting force as formidable in its own way as the military might the
United States and the British are assembling to eradicate it. Some 3,500 hard
core senior officers serving in Bin Laden’s training bases in Afghanistan
have taken command of the gathering army.
DEBKAfile’s military sources confirm at least one initial engagement between
US elite forces who have crossed from neighboring Tadjikistan, a former
Soviet republic, into southeast Afghanistan since Saturday, September 22.
They were led through the mountains by Russian intelligence officers familiar
with Afghan frontier terrain and Tadjik and Pushtun smugglers associated with
Russian intelligence. There was another brush Saturday, between British SAS
units who entered Afghanistan from the north and linked up with the Afghan
general Rashid Dustum, an Uzbek, and a Bin Laden band. Members of the British
force penetrated Afghan military lines and reached the outskirts of Kabul.
DEBKAfile’s military sources are quite clear that the coming war will be
fought both inside and outside Afghanistan, and that its tempo, scale, arena
and intensity will not be dictated by the Americans alone. Al Qaeda is an
international association of allied groups operating in many parts of the
world.
According to conservative estimates, the millionaire-terrorist could most
probably rally around the world roughly the same number of fighting men as
those flocking to his flag in Afghanistan and Pakistan, namely an army of
over 200,000 men. Many members of his overseas legions are available for both
sustained and for one-time operations. In between, they simply go back to
their normal pursuits and their homes in host countries. They are also
available for terrorist operations on their home ground.
A SPECIAL REQUEST
In response to many who have expressed their concern that the media and the
Bush administration appear to be promoting the concept of Islam as a religion
of peace, I have been advised that the best thing you could do is to email,
call or fax the White House to voice your concerns about this issue. EVERY
letter, call and email IS logged and reported to the President. If several
thousand messages are received from concerned Christians, it WILL have an
effect. Please go the the WHITE HOUSE website which will give you all the
necessary contact information. <A HREF="http://www.whitehouse.gov/">http://www.whitehouse.gov/</A>
CLOSING COMMENTS
Some have suggested that what happened on September 11 could not be judgment
because the New Testament says that 'judgment begins in the household of
God." I would like to respectfully suggest that Judgement DID begin in the
house of God back in the late 1980's. Tragically large segments of church
populations may not have understood the needed response at that time and
instead of a revival of humility and repentance then, resorted to
finger-pointing at fellow Christians. As I have traveled this nation and
talked with hundreds of believers in the last year, multitudes have confessed
personally and publicly that God has been dealing with them in very
significant ways to repent and change their ways personally. Judgement has
INDEED begun in the house of God and has been going on for some years.
National judgment typically follows.
It is evident that intercessors today, like the US Military, must learn to
wage spiritual war through prayer at an entirely new level. I encourage you
to ask the Holy Spirit - on a daily basis - to show you how to pray. It is no
coincidence that we are facing all of this uncertainty in the world and in
our nation during the season of the High Holy Days in Israel. I will be
sharing a special message about Yom Kippur tomorrow.
Shalom,
Barbara
